Editorial rollment of 184,957 and aggregate endowment of $298,377,000, averaging 2;055 in student enrollments and $3,315,300 in endowments. These hundred institutions hold more than three-fourths of the total college and university endowment funds in four hundred institutions studied. Ten institutions have in their possession about one-half of the total endowment funds of the four hundred institutions studied, and care for about one-eighth of the total college and university student population in the United States.

The total enrollment of the colleges and universities in the United States is approximately one million. Within ten years this total may be increased to considerably over a million. A large share of college students is b.e ing cared for and must continue to be cared for in the small colleges. The large colleges and universities are already at peak capacity, but 路money for endowment rolls their way in an ever-increasing flood. These large institutions naturally have the ear and eye of the public, but the public is not discriminating until properly informed. The time has come when the public should be informed of the needs of the five hundred small colleges, scattered over the country, which are carrying a load in education all out of proportion to their resources.

The large institutions, now at peak capacity, are thinking of reducing their enrollments, or at least holding their enrollments where they now are, and at the same time are calling for greatly increased endowments. This means that the small colleges must prepare to take on an additional load. There are not too many small colleges.

On the contrary, the next decade or two will reveal the fact that there are too few colleges, so fast is the college population growing in the United States. If these small colleges are needed, why . not appeal to the wealth of America to provide a minimum endowment of $2,000,000 for each institution that is rightly located? There is room and need for both state and private institutions in the scheme of higher education. Each supplements and supports the other. The state cannot prov~de the means by taxation to meet all the demands of higher educaion.

Without the aid of the small colleges the state universities would be literally swamped with students, and the tax rate would go soaring, until checked.

When representatives of all of our American colleges meet in the conference at Chicago and give careful and comprehensive study to the subject from every angle possible, something vital and inspiring, undoubtedly, will come forth that will break down the barriers which impede the progress of the small colleges, and will rally to the support of these colleges such friends and such resources as will make possible a great forward advance for all our American colleges, both large and small.

Alumni Employment THE Alumni Association of the University of Dayton through its headquarters, the Alumni Office, is endeavoring to assist U of D alumni in their employment difficulties by means of establishing an employment clearing house.

Annually the University of Dayton sends out into the commercial world a good number of trained men . Then there are always some of U of D's "old grads" desirous of new positions. Then too there are alumni who, as employers, have positions open or who know of vacancies.

Together you can assist in establishing the Alumni Office as an employment agency for alumni. For we want positions and alumni to fill the positions.

Alumni who are in search of better positions than those they now occupy should place their names and qualifications in the Alumni Office.

Employers are urged to use the Alumni Office as a medium through which to obtain university graduates for responsible positions in their companies.

Our aim is to have U of D employes for U of D employers. Will you help your Alumni Association in this undertaking?

----U.D.----

The Small College RELATIVE to the discussion going on concerning the small college and its place in higher education, and particularly with reference to the .serious financial situation which the small college is facing in the United States at the present time, a conference of representa.tives of the liberal arts colleges of the United States will be held at the Stevens Hotel, Chicago, March 18-20, 1930.

It is planned to consider thoroughly at this conference the relation of the college of liber:~l arts to higher education in the United States at present, and to set forth collectively the needs of the colleges of liberal arts in order that they may function more adequately; and to discuss and formulate a plan by which an appeal may be made to the American people for the financial resources necessary if the liberal arts colleges are to function efficiently in the interest of the million students now in college and the increasing number which may reasonably be expected within the next decade or two. It is expected that this conference will take action looking towards a financial campaign for the colleges, in which all colleges of liberal arts may participate.

To this conference each college of liberal arts in the United States is invited to send a representative. From present indications five hundred institutions will be represented at the Chicago meet.

Mr. Albert Norman Ward, president of Western Maryland College, in his article entitled "Making Provision for the College of Liberal;\rts, the Small College," shows that the college of liberal arts has an important relation to higher education, and should be provided for in a manner commensurate 'with its importance. He shows that ten institutions have aggregate enrollment of 77,946 and aggregate endowment of $340,130 ,000, averaging 7, 794 in student enrollment and $34,013,000 in endowments.

Alumni! On With the Show First Annual Alumni Play in .May Is Delightful Musical Comedy of Student Life AY 11 and 12! On these dates will be presented the delightful alumni musical comedy, "Clouds Roll By!", that is being sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Dayton for the benefit, of the _..,....~..._ _..;;...:.

Alumni Association and the UofD Band. The play will be presented in the spacious auditorium of the Villa Julienne High School, 1140 Old Orchard Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. This musical presentation is to be an annual affair and is destined to be the most elaborate and the most ambitious production ever sponsored at the University.

M

This presentation will compare with the great musical shows that are sponsored by all the larger schools and universities throughout the country and will be one of the dramatic events of the spring season in Dayton.

A small group of alumni, consisting of Robert M. Payne, '22, president of the Dayton Alumni Club; William A. Keyes, '99, president of the Board of Lay Trustees at the University; Charles Stonebarger, '20, member of the Athletic Board; Howard ' Germann, '01; Roland Wagner, '26; Robert Renner, '27; Merle P. Smith, '25, Alumni Secretary; and Joe Keller, '29, Publicity Director, laid the early plans for this great undertaking at the luncheon meeting at the Van Cleve Hotel Thursday, February 21, 1930.

The play has been written by Richard Frankensteen and Robert McBride, both students at U of D, and Frankensteen has also written all the music for the piece. /

Richard Frankensteen is directing the play and also has working with him a large staff of assistants. The O'Brien School of Expression is training the dancers and presents a number of specialty dancers and Angela Mae O'Brien is giving her personal attention to the chorus and ensemble work. Maurice Reichard, '26, band director at the school, is in charge of the nwsical directi on of the show.

A committee of thirty-five members of the Alumni Association, principally of the Dayton Alumni Club, has been selected. The committee follows: David A. Kersting, '05, Dr. Norman C. Hochwalt, '17, Alfred C. Bergman, '08, Theodore D. Hollenkamp, '99, John A. Retter, '27, Robert Renner, '27, Harry F. Finke, '02, Howard W. Germann, '01, Charles P. Eisenhauer, '24, Robert M. Payne, '22, Elmer J. Focke, '09, Robert E. Gray, '09, Martin Kuntz, '12, Dr. Leon J. Deger, '10, Charles W. Stonebarger, '20, Roland A. Wagn er, '26, Alfred W .

Schneble, '07, James W. Dwyer; '16, Jack E. Ledger, '16, John W. Ratchford, '25, James J. Hartnett, '20, Frank P. Elardo, '22, Herbert S. Wagner, '25, Vincent P. Weckesser, '25, Herman J. Reboulet, '27, AI A. Kramer, '96, Clement t. Jauch, ' 08, Judge Harry L. Ferneding, '90, Torrence A. Makley, '13, Dr. Clifford R. Weis, '17, George A. Pflaum, '25, William A. Fritz, '24, Walter J. Bucher, '27, Joseph E. Keller, '29, Merle P. Smith, '25 .

The following student commit-

\

tee has been appointed at the University to work with the central committee and to promote interest in the production: Dan Adams, Bernard Brusse, William Malone, John Grimes, Virgil Terrel, Adam W esterkamp, Charles Biggins, James White, George Gorry, Francis J. O'Connor, Robert Pudenz, James Cline, Norm Miller, Charles Reiling, Jack Connelly, Tom Curran, Charlie Matthews, Dudley Washington, Carl Bir, Robert Bretlinger, Don Brown, Robert Lange, Robert McBride, Maurice Costello, Tom Dempsey, and in the Prep Department Tom Stritch, William Keyes, Jr., Robert 路Keyes, Charles Hollenkamp and Gilbert Metzger. The services of students of Chaminade and Julienne High Schools in supporting the affair is also secured. A number of downtown ticket agencies has been provided.

Elaborate plans are being made to publish a sixty-page souvenir program of the play. It will also serve as a chronicle of the events of the past year, having pictures of the senior class and will fill the place usually covered by an annual publication.

The auditorium of the Dayton Industries Building, corner Third and Ludlow Streets, is being used for reh earsals, through the kindness of Allen Martin, manager of this uniqu e building.

An enthusiasm which knew no bounds was manifested by members of the central committee at their first meeting. They pledged themselves to make this production greater than anything ever sponsored at the University.

It will be recalled that the same organization succeeded in promoting the most successful testimonial dinner dance ever arranged at the University, which was also an outstandi~g social event for the entire city.

The support of leaders of finance and industry of the city, civic and welfare leaders, members of official Dayton and music clubs and dramatic societies is being solicited for this outstanding production. It is sought to establish, with the production of this play, a precedent which will be followed throughout the years at the University of Dayton.

Working at top speed to accomplish this end are those engaged back of the footlights, behind the scenes, and the many committees so essential for the success of the elaborate show written , produced, acted and staged exclusively, except for the female characters, by U of D students and alumni. Rehearsals began on February 20, increasing in intensity until the final dress rehearsal on the stage at Julienne is held. The play promises to be one of the most pleasingly stimulating and delightful musical comedies produced by college people anywhere.

No expense is being spared to make this the most lavish affair that has been seen in this section of the state under the supervision of amateurs. Alumni of the University of Dayton will do well to support this first alumni dramatic production.

Athletic News and Comment

By Art Routzong, '32 Keefer New Coach

Baumann Tutors Nine

Sunday, March 2, the Athletic Board anO Nnounced that Jackson M. (Jack) Keefer,

fl. backfield coach, the Athletic Board an-

former football star at Dayton Steele High School, the University of Michigan and Brown University; had been added to the Flyer coaching staff and would take over the duties of backfield mentor this coming fall.

nounced .that Charley Baumann, former Flyer diamond star, would have charge of the baseball club from March 15 to the first week in May when Harry Baujan would be able to take the team in hand.

Baujan was indeed fortunate in getting Keefer to consent to return to the coaching game. We know of no other man who could give the Flyer backfield aspirants better training than Jack. He has been closely connected with the pigskin sport since before the war. He played at Steele in 1915 and 1916 and then went overseas. Returning in 1919 he starred at Steele for two more years and led that school to the city championship in 1919 and 1920. Jack is known as the greatest halfback ever to graduate from a local high school. A dangerous runner, a great kicker and passer and a dependable blocker, he had every requisite for a backfield star. He enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1921 and as a sophomore in '22 won a regular position on Yost's eleven. !n '23 Jack left Michigan and entered Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island, where he starred in 1924 and 1925. In '24 the late Walter Camp gave Keefer honorable mention on his All-American eleven and in '25 Camp's successor, Grantland Rice, placed Jack at a halfback post on the third All-American team. Brown regards Keefer as the greatest halfback in the history of the school. Jack returned to his high school alma mater where he coached in ' 27 and '28 . Last year he entered the sporting goods game, being a member of the firm of Keefer & Allen, Inc., of this city. Since graduating from Brown he has also played considerable professional football. Jack's business connections. are so pressing at the present time that he will be unable to assist Baujan and Belanich in the spring training session, but he will be ready for duty the first of September. He will continue, however, his connection with Keefer & Allen.

We believe the move is a wise one. It will enablf' Baujan to give his undivided attention to spring football and at the same time feel that the baseball team is getting the proper coaching. There's no question about Baumann knowing his baseball. Charley ranks second only to Bill Blake as the greatest catcher in Flyer history.

Last spring he was captain of the strongest of the many strong baseball clubs Harry Baujan has developed "on the hill." Charley attracted the attention of Chicago Cub scouts and in the heat of the pennant race last summ er he spent three weeks with the National League champs in the Windy City.

Manager Joe McCarthy wanted to farm him out for further seasoning but Baumann couldn't see it that way so he returned to Dayton.

He received an invitation from McCarthy to go to Catalina Islands with the Cubs this spring but has found it impossible to make the trip because he is taking law at the University. Baujan has had the battery candidates working out since the first of March and shortly after- 路 ward Baumann issued his first call for aspirants for all positions. Charley will have charge of the club until spring football ends the first week in May when Baujan will take it over. The season starts the first week in April.

- ---U. D . - - - -

THE appointment of Keefer practically completes the Flyer coaching staff for the season of 1930-31. Harry Baujan is athletic director and head football coach. Bill Belanich will coach the line and Keefer the backfield.

Belanich will also coach track this spring and basketball next winter. The baseball team will be in the hands of Baujan and Charley Baumann. The freshman football mentor has not been appointed as yet but it is thought that Baumann has路 the inside track on this job inasmuch as he filled the position during the latter part of the 1929 season. There is also a possibility that a trainer may be secured for the football team, something the Flyers have never had before.

----U.D.----

A

SEVEN-WEEKS spring training session was inaugurated on Monday, March 10, when some fifty odd young stalwarts reported to Coaches Baujan and Belanich. Of this number only twe ve are lettermen. About half of the squad is composed of freshmen. The Flyers appear fairly strong from tackle -to tackle but much building must be done in the backfield and at the ends. The training grind will be concluded the first week in May with a regulatio11 game between the varsity and the senior members of the 1929 eleven.

;\ T the same time that Jack Keefer was named

- - - - U. D . - - - -

pROSPECTS for a successful season are bright although it is extremely doubtful whether Baumann will be able to develop a club a s strong as last year's which won nine games and lost three and which was truly the uncrowned champion of the state.

Six lettermen remain from last year's great club: Adam Westerkamp and "Poge" Moyer, pitchers; Paul Lutz, first baseman; Pat Gleason, shortstop; Joe Andras, third baseman; and Vic Koehl, right fileder. The most promising reserve material includes Armstrong and 路warner, outfielders, and Cabrinha, catcher. Of the new blood, Lange, catcher; Zierolf, pitcher; Hellman, infielder; and Edwards, outfielder, are outstanding. Some of these men will be occupied by spring football until May. The complete baseball schedule will be announced in the next issue of the Alumnus.

WHEN the basketball team closed its season at Granville on March 1 by losing to Denison 33-30, it brought to an end one of the poorest court campaigns the Flyers have had in many a year. The team won four games while losing fourteen. Handicapped by continual injuries and faced by a tough schedule, the team never succeeded in hitting a winning stride. The boys seemed jinxed on the local Coliseum court. They were capable of great basketball at times, especially against strong teams. The University of Cincinnati, co-champions of the Buckeye Conference, and Wittenberg, one of the state's strongest, were each met on two occasions. Wittenberg twice defeated the Flyers by five-point margins, once in an overtime game, while Cincinnati also came out victorious twice, once by four points and the other time by two markers in an overtime struggle.
