'The President's Letter ity are "putting out" to the utmost. However, the man who would succeed does well to follow a minor line of activity in addition to his vocation. A moderate attention to the work of the Officers' Reserve Corps offers an attractive avocation, valuable to the individual in that it gives him a varied interest and puts him in touch with up-standing men he might not otherwise know, and valuable to our country.

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON DAYTON, OHIO March 15, 1929.

To the ~. 0. T. C. Graduates of the University of Dayton: I am addressing this note to the graduates of the R. 0. T. C. of the University with a view to bringing to their attention again the objects and purposes of military training and with the hope of inducing them to continue their work in this line.

The University holds that military training is, for the individual, a valuable part of his course ; that, by undergoing this instruction and thus preparing himself for leadership, he is bringing to himself a distinct benefit and is furthermore performing a patriotic duty. It believes also that continued attention to military subjects and association with military personnel is both proper and desirable. The great body of Reserve Officers, most of them of World War service, grow older each year and it is for the R. 0. T. C. graduates to take their places.

Otherwise our system of national defense, our first and truly statesmanlike system, fails.

I commend to you a continued interest in the Reserve Corps. If you are now in touch with a Regular Army officer on duty with the Reserve, please give name of officer and location of your Unit. If you have not as Y'et affiliated with an Army Unit, I suggest that you communicate with Lt.-Col. B. F. Ristine, now on duty at the University, and he will be glad to put you in touch with an officer.

Thanking you in advance for an early reply and with kindest personal regards, I am Cordially yours,

I assure you .of my appreciation of the fact that the demands on the time and effort of younger college graduates are great indeed and that the major-

President.

Editorial Mater?"? By sending students to our Alma Mater is one way in which we can carry out the aims of our Alumni Association and at the same time fulfill our personal desire to be of service.

If every alumnus will avail himself of all opportunities to recommend the University to prospective students he will have rendered an invaluable service, by keeping up the enrollment, stabilizing the University, and thus help- , ing it not only to carry on its mission continuously but to extend and develop its influence and usefulness.

THESE past ten years hav路e seen a great growth in the 路 University of Dayton, with its problems ever increasing.

The educational standards and the tone of the University have always been kept high however, in spite of the expansion. U. of D's mission has always been the training of leadership, not competition in numbers. The administration seeks quality in its students rather than numbers.

But nevertheless numbers must be maintained.

What is it that influences a student to choose a certain institution as his college or university? Perhaps it is the attractiv:e curriculum or faculty, or the athletic reputation, or perhaps it is Dad's Alma Mater, but so often it is merely the fact that he knows more about that institution than any other. Or it may be that he has had that university recommended to him as the ideal place of learning with all its interesting and engaging activities. And who is better fitted to make such a recommendation than the alumnus? There are no better salesmen of a university than the former students who have spent precious years at Alma Mater and who have fully imbibed its real life and spirit. Surely they are equipped to judge squarely of the university's real value and worth.

To how many of the alumni does this suggest an answer to the question "Of what service can I be to Alma

JT IS not too early to sound the .call for the return of alumni at Commencement time. June is the time for the revival of the youthful and sentimental spirit in men.

The alumnus who has no abiding interest in his university may live on and prosper, but there is something lacking in him that would make a better citizen and man of him did he have it. If his life at the Univer sity of Dayton was only an impersonal business proposition he made a bad bargain when he came, and he is the loser. When a U. of D. alumnus lets go what U. of D. was to him, he has let go one of the sweetest and best things in life.

U.D. ENGINEERS CLUB

The U. D. graduate engineers of Dayton, Ohio, who are actively engaged in engineering work, have formed an active Engineers Club. Regular monthly meetings are held at which papers of interest are read and discussed. Some of these meetings have been held on the campus in the lecture room of the Albert Emanuel Library.

SUGGESTED READING

By Francia Ruhlman, S.M. · The attempt will be made to recommend only such books as are of general interast. They will he chosen from as diversified a field as possible, covering biography, history, literature, sociology, and the like. As a rule books referred to will be the most recent. However, should an older book be brought to our attention that we feel would be well worth reading, we will not hesitate in recommending it, irrespective of the time published.

THE RISE AND FALL OF NEW FRANCE

By George M. Wrong. Macmillan. $10.50. · The complete story of France in her great struggle for supremacy in America. In all history there is no more dramatic record than that of the discovery and conquest of America. The part played by France from her earliest explorations through the establishing of her numerous colonies to her final downfall as a power in America is now vividly and authentically related. Professor Wrong has devoted many years to the preparation of this history ..

The vast amount of material which has been made available since Parkman wrote his notable work fifty years ago has all been utilized.

COMMON SENSE IN EDUCATION

By Bernard I. Bell. Morrow. $2.50.

The purpose of this volume is primarily to bring parents to the realization of the objective of education and enlighten and guide them in the choice of schools and cours-e s for their sons and daughters.

THE OFFICIAL CATHOLIC YEAR BOOK, 1928 Kenedy. Paper $3.00, Cloth $4.00.

I would like to bring to the attention of "The Alumnus" readers a work that is primarily a reference book but one I believe that would prove quite useful in' these days of religious discussions.

The Official Catholic Year Book is a digest of the year's ecclesiastical news; a brief history of the Church in this country; and diverse special articles reviewing institutionalized endeavors.

Education receives specially comprehensive treatment. In a word, it supplies to an inquirer anything in reason he wants, or ought, to know about the Church in the United States.

CATHOLICISM AND THE MODERN MIND

By Michael Williams. Dial Press. $3.50.

For the most part this book contains articles which have come from the zealous pen of Michael Williams during the past few years in his campaign to put his Faith in its proper light with his countrymen. It is the sort of book for Catholics to steep themselves in and then give to their non-Catholic friends to stimulate candid inquiry about the Church. Regarding this work William Lyon Phelps writes, "I. have derived so much profit from this book that I wish everyone might read it."

ATHLETIC NEWS AND COMMENT

By Herb Abel, '22

DAYTON ENDS MEDIOCRE COURT SEASON Failure of Flyer Forwards To Score Consistently Was Reason For Team Defeats WITH fifty thousand wild Gothamites cheering frantically, Babe Ruth steps to the plate. The Yanks are behind 3-2 and the bases are loaded. But the mighty Babe fans. What a sinking sensation! Or perhaps you saw the unknown Gene Tunney in his first bout with Dempsey when he tore the great Manassa Mauler to ribbons. Or again you might have been at the Polo Grounds last fall when the great Chris Cagle of Army was smothered by Rockne's invading Irish.

If any of these or similar occurrences have come your way, you will appreciate better Alma Mater's mediocre record on the hardwoods this season. When the stars are fallen records fall also. And Dayton's consistently fighting attempts to come out victorious in basketball this season are credited only to the failur~ of none of the Flyer forwards or centers to show any consistency in hitting the bucket.

Flyers Consistently Defensive The measure of success is consistent play. The Fl~r basketeers were consistently defensive. Few teams were able to run much of a score against the brilliant guarding of Captain Pat Wilcox and Chauncey Dehler. Off-ensively, however, the Red and Blue was only fair because of their inability to cage the ball even in the case of fr·e e throws, whieh proved the downfall of the Daytonians.

Statistics of the season show that Dayton attempted many more shots than did the opposition and that threefourths of these were taken by the forwards and centers who just a year ago shone with such brilliancy that they were dubbed "the second St. Mary Cadets.''

Forwards and Centers Off Form More disheartening even than the fanning of Ruth, more surprising than the smothering of Cagle or the downfall of Dempsey was the reversal of form shown by Johnny Ladner, Bob Lensch and Ed Lange. ·The forward combination of Lensch and Ladner was a thing of power and beauty in 1928 and the offensiv-e strength and strong defensive play of Lange kept Shorty Sharpenter battling the whole season long to retain his position as pivot man. Not so this year, however, as their play never consistently resembled its former brilliance.

"Orange" Crush Shines There is particularly one thing to be commended in the Dayton off.ensive and that is the dynamic work of Howard "Orange" Crush. The little fellow tried nobly to fill the breach caused by the failure of the two stars and at the end of the sixteenth game was leading the field of Flyer scorers by 14 points. Ladner, who in his sophomore year was mentioned as an all-Ohio forward, showed his old forp1 in but three games at best, while Lensch came through only once, in the Earlham game.

Then there is the question of center. In only one game, the Capital encounter, did Dayton consistently get the jump at the tip-off. Sterman of St. Xavier, Allin and Kunz of Cincinnati, Siegenthaler of Ohio Wesleyan, Kreeger of Wittenberg, Srofe of Wilmington, and others

not in the writer's memory repeatedly got the advantage.

Then too, both Lange and Murphy proved to be defeated

by Lady Luck in their scoring ability. Ev·en in the free throw department and in "bunny" shots under the basket the Dayton centers consistently failed to pierce the ring.

Going on in.d efinitely we might multiply ·examples of how the Dayton offensive weakened, lessened and finally slowed completely at St. Xavier when Dayton garnered but five field goals and two fouls, the lowest score to which a Dayton team had been held in years.

Guards A!e Scoring Threats That the Dayton guards adequately upheld their end in the offensive can be shown by the fact that Captain Wilcox rates third place in the scoring total while Chuck Dehler has come through as well as Bobby Lensch.

Dayton's schedule on the court this season was undoubtedly the hardest ever tackled by a Dayton team since 1921 when the Flyers played twenty-three games, winning but seven. But everyone is agreed that Dayton'·s offensive weakness and the failure of the Red and Blue scoring aces to come through in their past form is responsible for the mediocre showing.

Harder Sked Next Year It is rumor.e d that Fitzpatrick intends to get an even harder card next year if present plans on scheduling are realized. And if such be the case, something will have to be d9ne to enable our forwards and centers to get the range on the basket. We can expect to see quite a few new faces on the Varsity court roster next year.

Crush, Lange, Murphy, Wilcox and Dehler all will be graduated in June. This will leave but Ladner, Lensch and Flanagan. Ladner and Lensch have both been ineffective this year, while Flanagan has shown remarkable form in the short seasoning that he has had.

Certain it is that something revolutionary is going to happen in the Flyer basketball camp next December when Coach Fitzpatrick calls out the cohorts for 1930. Fitzpatrick may equip forwards and centers with "specks" to overcome the hoodoo.

Flyers Defeat Alumni Perhaps it remained for the stars of old to inspire the Va1.1sity. For before one of the biggest crowds of the season the U. of D. Flyers closed their home season in a blaze of glory by downing the Alumni on Saturday night March 2 at the Dayton Fairground Coliseum, 29 to 17.

The Varsity fighting spirit finally produced flashes of its 1928 brilliancy.

The alumni under the tutelage of Harry Solimano were represented by an array of former U. of D. court stars.

Sam Hipa, Cyril "Bud" Stein, Russ Becker, John Mahrt and Bill Lukaswitz carried the burden of play. Other participants were Babe Zimmerman anp Norb Sacksteder.

Norb was the only member of the famous St. Mary's Cadets in the lineup.

Coach Fitzpatrick used many combinations during the ball game and the play of the Daytonians as a whole was very satisfactory.

If the play of the Flyers in the Alumni conflict can be taken with signification, we can expect the three remaining road games to be chalked up in the won column and the mediocre showing of early- and mid-season to be over!lhadowed by a triumphal finish.

Pre-Medic Students Hear Noted Medical Authorities Students o:(; the University Pre-M:di~ine Department were accorde<f a rare treat at the M1am1 Hotel, Dayton, Friday evening, February 23, when they were privileged to attend the annual meeting of the Dayton Academy o£ Medicine. The treat took the form of addresses by three of America's foremost medical men.

The principal talk was given by Dr. Charl€s H. Mayu, of the famous clinic of that name at Rochester, Minn.

Dr. Mayo spoke on the changes in modern medical research and the results thereof in lengthening the life of man. He gave a brief outline of the history of medical advancement, showing that seventy-five per cent of the advancement in medical science has taken place within the last fifty years.

The second speaker of the evening was Dr. Martin Fischer, Professor of Physiology of the University of Cincinnati, who spoke on medical principles. His talk was well received by the large audience, and especially by the U. of D. students. Dr. George W. Crile, head of the Cleveland clinic, was also present at the meeting and addressed the audience briefly.

The speeches were preceded by a banquet, at which more than four hundred doctors were in attendance.

Through the courtesy of Dr. F. L. Shively, president of the Dayton Medical Academy, and Miss Mildred Jeffries, s·e cretary of the Montgomery County Medical Association, the Pre-Medicine students of U. of D. were permitted to attend the talks. Several members of the University faculty were also in attendance at the meeting. The .faculty and students of the Pre-Medicine Department of the University are indeed thankful to those who made it possible for them to attend this gathering, from which they derived so much benefit.
