Editorial an alumni education program under way will find good working material in some of Mr. Shaw's findings and conclusions: 1. The program should originate with the institution rather than the alumni organization. A special committee may be set up or a special officer appointed to handle the work. 2. Undergraduates, who are the graduates of tomorrow, should be made to realize that commencement is not the end of things educational. Special orientation courses may be given them. 3. Further development of contacts between faculty and alumni. "Nothing can be more effective than the continuation of a personal relationship between a teacher and his former students." A help in preserving and developing this relationship is the distribution oi printed lectures, occasional speeches, and reports among 1 the alumni. 4. Alumni magazines might do more than they are doing to stimulate the continuing-education idea; even at the risk of losing some "reader interest" they might well print more articles of post-graduate education importance. 5. Book lists and reading programs. "Probably the simplest and easiest method to make the start." These differ from those of the American Library Association, for instance, in that they are connected up with the authority of the instituion and with the personality of wellknown and well-loved teachers. Reading lists should not be too numerous, or too long and complex. The possibility of the college library lending books to alumni may be considered. 6. Annual gatherings at the college itself, and readingdiscussion groups in various centers. It is understood of course that the whole program is still new and on a tentative basis, that relatively only a few alumni will be interested at first, and that results must come slowly.
That Resolution
A
NEW YEAR! 1930! With consideration for the lessons of the known past year and with time plunging ahead into the unknown year, there comes to mind thoughts of resolutions to be made. An alumnus resolution must be made. 路 It should be one, and definite, and as circumscribed as possible, and finally, not too difficult of attainment. Let the following be the Resolution for 1930
WHEREAS, I fully realize that time has not diminished my love for my Alma Mater, the University of Dayton; and WHEREAS, I fully realize that time has not diminished the appreciation of my obligation and indebtedness to Her for the training received in Her Halls; and WHEREAS, I fully realize that She has placed into my life something lasting and worth while which I would not have enjoyed had She not labored so diligently in my behalf; and WHEREAS, I, one of Her sons, am grateful to Her for these gifts of body and of mind; and WHEREAS, I have a sincere concern for Her successful growth and development; therefore BE IT RESOLVED, That I promise to assume my full duty and responsibility as an alumnus of the University of Dayton and to co-operate to the extent of my ability with my fellow alumni wherever and in whatever manner possible that I may better serve the Univ.ersity of Dayton. In this way I can best prove my loyalty and my gratitude to my Alma Mater. This I can and will do in 1930.

Not Only Getting Educated But Keeping Educated TEN years hence the college graduate will more than likely be asking his alumni association and his university for things quite different from .seats at the 50-yard line. In fact his voice requesting the "other things" can already be detected, and it is gaining strength. The "other things" refer mainly to adult education or, in collegiate circles, continuing education after graduation, the somewhat new idea that getting an education is a life-long process rather than four or six years on a college campus, and that the college may even owe it to its graduates to furnish this "continuing education" to its alumni. 路 Such are some of the conclusions one reaches after reading a survey of the whole subject prepared by Wilfred B. Shaw of the University of Michigan for the American Association for Adult Education, co-operating with the American Alumni Council. Although a few colleges are already furnishing their graduates with reading lists and boo'ks, or are giving some faculty advice, or are sponsoring alumni conferences and round-table discu ssions concerning subjects other than athletics, the idea in general is comparatively new.

Campus News Digest By Paul A. Moorman, '30 JUNIOR PROM
A brilliant dance is being planned by the committee in charge of the Junior Prom to be held on February 21 in the Grand Ballroom and the Egyptian Room of the Dayton-Biltmore Hotel. The committee has promised a nationally known orchestra for the affair. All alumni are invited to attend this party, which will be semi-formal. The charge is five dollars per couple. Parties can be arranged at individual tables. Tickets and further information can be secured from the Junior committeemen or at the Alumni Office. - -- - U. D . --

It comes to our mind now that we might have forgotten to mention that the school marks this year are being graded every six weeks instead of by the four-week periods as was the case last year. Registrar Rev. George Renneker, S.M., believes that this system is the more satisfactory. The semester examinations at the end of January and May count double in the averages for each subject.

1, R. C. OFFICERS
The officers of the International Relations Club, an organization composed of members from the various history classes, were elected late in December with William P. Keane chosen as president. Barry Dwyer was chosen as vice-president, Howard Sachs was elected secretary and Tom Dempsey treasurer. The first meeting was held in December with the principal talk of the evening being made by Keane, whose subject was "Weapons of the Next War." Many interesting discussions are planned for 1930. ----U.D.----
COMMERCE CLUB
Professor E. B. O'Leary of the Commerce Department announces that there will b e exactly two banquet programs on the list of the more important activities planned before the end of the year, with the first banquet scheduled for the end of the semester. Professor O'Leary announces that several <:lass mettings for which important men of the business world have been engaged, are leading the schedule. The first was held on January 14 when Mr. Jackson, manager of the Better Business Bureau, gave an interesting talk on what the Better Business Bureau of Dayton is doing in reference to protecting the public. Other speakers engaged are Hugo Wagenseil, president of the Wagenseil Advertising Agency, Dayton, Ohio, whose subject will be "Advertisements," and Ed. Self, advertising manager of The Dayton Rubber Co., who will talk on advertising tires and allied products. ----U.D.----
DEBATE The Debating Team will start activities in ACTIVITY March, according to Dr. Lawrence Boll, S.M., who handles forensic endeavors for the Red and Blue representatives.

Candidates for the Rifle Team are being" chosen at the present time with six matches being on the January schedule. Although tpe whole team nor the captain have been selected as yet, it is believed that a very good group will represent the University in the winter matches and in the William Randolph Hearst competition, in which match the local marksmen came out as western champions several years ago.

"JUMPY" RETURNS
The appearance of Frank "Jumpy" Marshall back on the campus' is a source of reassurance to followers of football for 1930, inasmuch as much anxiety was held for the secure recovery of the star fullback. Marshall, with Dick Interredon, was injured quite seriously when the machine in which they were riding overturned on a slippery road. Both were on their way home for the Christmas recess.

Chemical News Letter The Department of Chemical Engineering issues a News Letter to all graduates of the Department about twice a year. The last one was mailed on December 22, 1929. In that letter it was stated that the Department has an endowment fund of over $2,000, yielding 6 % annually. This fund was started in 1927 and built up by alumni to be used for the Department library in the purchase of chemical journals, etc. The fund is growing rapidly.

Athletic News and Comment By Art Routzong, '32 Team Shows Promise BILL BELANICH has the makings of a first-
class cage team despite the fact that the record so far shows two defeats in the same number of starts. With little promising material to work with Belanich was not expected to produce a winner this season but after seeing the Flyers in action against Cedarville and Wittenberg we believe that the "Box Car" will pilot his charge:,; through a successful campaign. In losing the first two games Dayton was paying the price of starting late. Both Cedarville and Wittenberg had played six games before facing the Flyers and so naturally were more experienced than Belanich's youngsters. If the Dayton mentor had a veteran team to work with the handicap would not have. been so great, but since the Flyers are a green quintet they needed a few games under their belt before they could be expected to hit their true stride. But watch their speed now because they're headed for a ride on victory road. On their way they'll stop off and pay their respects to Cedarville and Wittenberg again and we rather imagine that the "respects" won't be so healthy for the two teams in question. - -- - U . D . - - - -
THE Flyers dropped a nip-and-tuck battle to Cedarville in the season's opener on Saturday, January 4, at the local Fairgrounds Coliseum by the score of 25 to 24. After leading throughout the game Belanich's charges lost out in the last minute of play when Turner, visiting forward, sank a one-handed shot from the foul line to give his team the lead and ultimate victory, 25 to 24. Dayton led at the half, 12 to 9. Captain Johnny Ladner, Ed Flanagan and Vic Warner played stellar games but the teamwork of the Flyers was poor, the new men especially showing their inexperience. Flanagan at guard was high point man with ten markers while Captain Ladner registered seven. Vic Warner, the senior from Cleveland, who never came out for the team in previous years, gave a fine exhibition of guarding. -

WITH only one more day of practice the Flyers traveled to Springfield on Monday night, January 6, to oppose the strong Wittenberg quintet, on e of the prime favorites in the Buckeye Conference race. The Lutherans were favored to beat Dayton by a wide margin but had a hard time ekeing out a 25 to 20 decision. The Flyers showed tremendous improvement in form and would have come out victorious if they had been able to hit the net with greater consistency. The Wittenberg offense that had run rough shod over five previous opponents found difficulty in penetrating Dayton's defense. With four minutes of the first half remaining, the score stood 8 to 6 in Wittenberg's favor. Then the Lutherans unleashed a volley of sensational, one-handed shots that enabled them to take a commanding 17 to 7 ~ lead at half time. The Flyers came back strong in the second half and outscored the winners, 13 to 8, h old'ing them to three field goals. However, the first half margin was too great a handicap to overcome, so l}elanich's boys were forced to accept a defeat that was far from inglorious. Paul Edwards, sophomore center, whose showing against Cedarville was mediocre, played a great game against Wittenberg, leading the Dayton attack with seven points. Warner gave another brilliant exhibition at his guard post.
Grid Sked Completed SINCE the last edition of the Alumnus Harry Baujan has completed the .1930 football schedule which is given below. It is better balanced and just as attractive as the 1929 chart. Home games are scheduled with Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenberg, Oglethorpe, Transylvania, Georgetown and Ohio Northern, while Boston College, St. Xavier and John Carroll will be met on foreign fields. Ohio Wesleyan, Georgetown College of Kentucky, Carroll and Northern are the teams that did not appear on the 1929 schedule. Of the new opponents John Carroll is a time-honored foe, Ohio Northern and Georgetown have appeared on Flyer schedules at various times, while Ohio Wesleyan, the outstanding team in the state with the exception of Ohio State, is a newcomer. -

THE season opens on Friday night, September 26, with Ohio Northern f orming the opposition. Next week Georgetown College of Kentucky comes here for another night game. The Southerners will be considerably tougher than Northern . Last year they held a one-point advantage over Transylvania, the team that the Flyers beat by a single touchdown. Following these two warm-up tilts (if the Georgetown game may be called such), the Flyers will prime for the biggest game of the year, the long-awaited clash between Ohio Wesleyan and Dayton, which is. scheduled for the local stadium on Saturday afternoon, October 11. Then the following Friday night Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Georgia, comes here to repay Dayton's visit to the southland last year. It will mark the first real southern invasion of the local stadium. The Flyers have a score to settle with the "Stormy Petrels," the "score" being that 20-12 defeat last year. On October 25 Dayton will meet its third tough opponent in a row when they travel east to Boston to play Boston College as part of the home-and-home agreement inaugurated last year when the easterners came here and inflicted a 23-7 defeat on the Flyers. Transylvania College of Lexington, Kentucky, will make its second appearance in the Gem City in two years when they come here on November 1. The following Saturday will find the Flyers and the whole school in Cincinnati, battling St. Xavier for the r ight to keep the Governor's Cup for another twelve months. On November 15 the Flyers will m ake another trip, this time to Cleveland, where athletic relations with John Carroll University will be renewed. Following this battle (and it will be a real one) the Baujanites will rest until Thanksgiving Day when Wittenberg will make its annual appearance in the stadium. -

This book, writte-:1 at the instance of Richard Washburn Child, was dictated at odd moments between appointments and is apparently addressed to the American people. Though s uffering somewhat from the defect that it was dictated and translated manifestly in haste, it is nevertheless a delightful volume, showhg the great personality who has made himself the master of Italy and the spokesman of its soul. The reader will not find here detailed memoirs, but he is offered the psychology of an intense idealist. This work is recommended to those who
ABBE PIERRE'S PEOPLE. Jay William Hudson. Appleton. $2.50. A series of tales that carry us back to Gascony, the land of the beloved Abbe Pierre, where as Cure of Aignan, in administering to the wants of his people, we are treated to the flok-lore and legend, the manners, customs and superstitio:~s current among the peasantry. Mr. Hudson, whilst himself not a Catholic, penetrates to the heart of these Catholic peasants and writes of their Faith and their devotions with rare sympathy and understanding. Gentle penerating humor, a strain of real roma:~ce, acute character drawing, and appreciation of nature and a wholesome belief in life as something bright and sweet are found in every page of the -:1ovel. And throughout the narrative runs the beautiful story of the gentle Abbe, whose simplicity and character win the hearts of all. Truly a book to charm both the casual reader and the thoughtful student of life. DISRAELI; A PICTURE OF THE VICTORIAN AGE. Andre Maurois . Appleton. $3 .00. This book was written, not for the serious student, but for the ordbary reader who wants something easy to read on this world figure. Done with keen wit, this is a sympathetic view of Disraeli, who is interpreted as a sentimentalist and romantic with an immense relish for life and a long youthfulness of heart. It is a record of a stormy career, a life of successes and reverses, of frie:~dships and animosities, all told in a delig htful and charming way. The story of Disraeli has been told by many biographers, but by none so entertainingly and sympathetically as by Andre Maurois. This is a book of the fictional biography type, to be finished in one sitthg and then to be read over again.
