Undergraduate Relation to Alumni By Barry Dwyer, '32 Editor of U of D Exponent HAT is the undergraduate's relation to the Alumni Association of his university? Is it a strong or a weak relationship? These are questions which present themselves when we consider the connection between the undergraduates and the alumni of a university. In order that we may have a working basis for our problem, that we may establish ourselves on observed fact and not on hypothetical conjecture, let us analyze the situation in our own University. What part does the Alumni Association play in campus affairs? A. very strong part, I should say; stronger than the student himself realizes. The alumni act through a conneecting link who is cognizant of both student and alumni affairs- the Alumni Secretary. Through him the alumni sponsor student activities; aid the student to become a living organism in university life; introduce new students into the University. Further, the Alumni Secretary brings closer together the student and the alumnus. The activities sponsored by the alumni are social, athletic and intellectual. At the University of Dayton activities are sponsored and activity dates are regulated by the action of a student activities committee. This committee comprises the presidents of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes and the Alumni Secretary. The plans for every student event must be placed in the hands of the committee for recognition, and the whole is presented to the Vice-President of the University, subject to his approval. In this manner an otherwise inevitable amount of confusion is avoided. As for the events themselves, these are supported vigorously by the alumni. The social affairs, comprising the various proms and dances and the testimonials in honor of the athletes receive the cooperation of the alumni in the sale of tickets and in publicity. The support of the alumni in the field of athletics is undebatable . In the disposal of tickets, in interesting promising high school students in the University, in the moral and physical support given, they render high service. Here, some might say, the interest of the alumni in student affairs ceases. This is not so. There is also support and encouragement given to the intellectual activities of the student body. Let us consider as an example the annual Alumni plays. These are student productions, written and staged by the students and financed by the alumni. The annual play is a comparatively new field of joint action between alumni and students. It was inaugurated three years ago with a musical comedy revue, "Clouds Roll By." The success of the venture was immediate. Since then, two other plays have been produced. The other intellectual activities receive a great share of interest from the alumni, although these endeavors are primarily for the students. What is the "why" of alumni relationship with the undergraduates? The object is the training and cultiva-
W
tion of the undergraduate so that he may take his place as a dependable and useful alumnus. Here we come to the consideration of the student as a future alumnus. The alumnus, properly speaking, is more representative of his school than the undergraduate. He is the product. We estimate the cause by the effect it produces, and so do we estimate the university by the men who come from it. The student does not take his place as a full representative of his university until after his graduation. Before that time his associations and contacts are limited, his training incomplete. When he issues from the university he is born into a new world. He will not be regarded so much for what he knows as for what he is. And this regard, or lack of regard, will be in great part applied to the source of his training. Thus we have one reason for alumni interest in the undergraduate. Another reason is the training of the undergraduate to remain a part of the university. No more than a man can hope to abandon the beneficial training which he has carried with him from the university should he attempt to cast off the source of that training. The associations and friendships he has formed with his fellow students and with his professors, the correct principles which he has imbibed have become a part of him. When he leaves as a student of the university he has just begun to grow. Why stultify the growth for which he strove so long? Why lop himself from the main branch of the tree as though he had never been connected with it; had never been nourished by it? The graduate should continue to grow with his school, an<;! every development of that school should also be an aid to him. If, therefore, the progress of the university means his own progress, what reason has he for holding back? Lastly, if he is at all logical, he must cherish the things for which his university stands. When he entered the university, and more, when he remained in it of his own volition, he accepted not so much a four-year course of study as an ideal and purpose for which that university stands. Now, if he will be consistent, let him open his eyes to the fact that the ideal and purpose have not changed. Let him act! - - - - U. D . - - - -

IN MEMORIAM HE U niversity of Da yton faculty, stu dents and alumni were saddened by t h e news of t h e passing of Mr. Albert Emanuel on March 3 0. Mr. Emanuel ha d always been intensely interested in the University. The ALUMNUS pays the fol l owi n g tri but e to his memory.
T
BERT EMANUEL, 62, devoted friend of t he University of Dayton and nationally famous lead ~r in the public utili ty field, died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Herman Lehman, in Philadelphia, on March 30, 1932. Born and reared in the city of Dayton and a member of an old Dayton family, Albert Emanuel received the rudiments of his education in the Dayton schools and then began t he study of law in the office of Rowe a nd Shuey. Mr. Emanuel began the practice of law as a member of the firm of Emanuel & Dwyer. · His first law partner was Albert J . Dwyer. After seven years Mr. Dwyer went to Mexico and Mr. Emanuel became associated with the father of his partner. The name of the firm was t hen ·changed to Dwyer & Emanuel. Later he joined with Charles Bosler in the firm of Bosler & Emanuel. Following this he became associated with the law firm of Murphy & Elliff, which t hen became known a s Murphy, Elliff & Emanuel. When Joseph Murphy, ' 01, finished his law course and was admitted to t he bar t h e firm was called Murphy, Elliff, Emanuel & Murphy, and continued as such until Mr. Emanuel retired from law practice to devote his whole attention to public utilities. A short time later he took up his residence in New York.
A
chise for the Dayton Street Railway was secured after considerable trouble, which was straightened out with the help of Mr. Emanuel, and the line began operation about 1908. Developing his interests on a larger scale, Mr. Emanuel bought up franchises in Parsons, Lawrence, tand Emporia, Kansas, and in Greenville, Texas. Then he turned his attention to other utilities, such as power and electric light. He went to New York and made that the center of his vast interests shortly before America entered t he war. Mt·. Emanuel later sold most of his holdings to the Insull interests. He conducted his ew Yot·k brokerage office, known as the Albert Emanuel Co. Failing health compelled him to relinquish most of his business in terests about six years ago. H is son, Victor Emanuel, '15, became t he head of the concern, and so wisely did he administer t hat h e is today a reputed leader in the public utility field. Mr. Emanuel was a man of exceptional ability, charming personality and extreme affability. Unusual wealt h did not change him in any essential way, except to make him more charitable a nd more generous to his friends. He was a philanthropist, and supported numerous worthy causes. There were many personal charities of whic h there is no accou nting. Surviving hi m are his widow, formerly Miss Deborah Rieser, of Columbus; two sons, Victor and Ellard Emanuel, and two daughters, Virgi nia and Valet·ie, who are Mrs. Con rad Strassn er and Mrs. Fred Ziegler. In t he words of our Very Rev. President Bernard P. O'Reilly, S.M.: . " Duri ng t he past twenty years, even after he took up his residence in New York City, Mr. Emanuel continued to show t he deepest interest in t he University. "We were profoundly grieved to learn of Mr. Emanuel's death, for we fee l that we have lost a loyal and devoted friend. "O ur heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mrs. Emanuel a nd her children in their bereavement."
When Mr. Em an ue1 was a young lawyer practicing in the city he was elected City Solicitor. He had very little interest, however, in holding office and never became a candidate for any other public position. It was after he obtained the fra nchise for the Dayton Street Railway that he conceived the idea of securing franchises and building street railways for various cities. The fra!l-

WITH THE FACULTY BROTHER MATTHIAS E. HAAS, S.M., M. S., Ph. D., member of the faculty of the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Dayton, was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 25, 1888. He received his collegiate education at St. Mary's College (now the University of Dayton), the University of Chicago, and the University of Pittsburgh. Bro. Haas Dr. Haas entered the Society of Mary at Dayton, Ohio, in July, 1903, after finishing his studies at St. Aloysius School in Chicago. He continued his studies in the High School and Normal School of the Society of Mary in Dayton. Dr. Haas' first teaching assignment was at St. Xavier School in Cincinnati. He was t hen assigned to Holy Trinity School in Dayton. Returning to St. Mary's College, he taught in the Preparatory Department until 1917, when he became a member of t he University of Dayton Chemical Department. He remained in that position until 1926, when he was granted a leave of absence for three years. He then pursued advanced studies at the University of Pittsburgh and the Bm-eau of Mines Experimental Station. Dr. Haas then returned to his teaching position at the University of Dayton. He received his doctorate degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Haas is serving as an abstract editor for two technical journals: "Instruments," which is published in PittsbUl·gh; and "Metals · and Alloys," which is published in New York. In addition to his work as a member of the Chemical faculty, Dr. Haas has been an active member of the American Chemical Society since 1920. He served in organizing the Dayton section of the American Chemical Society and was its first vice-chairman.
BROTHER WILLIAM J . WOHLLEBEN, S.M., M.S., Ph.D., was born in Chicago, Illinois, on January 19, 1876. He received his collegiate education at St. Mary's College and at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Dr. Wohlleben entered the Society of Mary on July 27, 1889, at Dayton, Ohio, after the completion of his studies at St. Francis Parochial School in Chicago. He then pursued his studies in the Society of Mary Normal School in Dayton. Bro. W oblleben The first year of Dr. Wohlleben's teaching career was spent at St. James School in Baltimore, Maryland. The following two years found him at St. Mary's School in Erie, Pennsylvania. Dr. Wohlleben was then assigned to the faculty of Saints Peter and Paul High School in St. Louis, Missouri, where he taught for seven years, 1897 to 1904. In 1904 Dr. Wohlleben went to Europe for his postgraduate work at the University of Fribourg. He spent almost four and a half years in Switze1·land. On his return to the United States Dr. Wohlleben was assigned to the University of Dayton (then known as St. Mary's Institute and later as St. Mary College). He

was put in charge of the Chemical Department which was then organized and developed to its present stage of excellence. Dr. Wohlleben is a member of the American Chemical Society; a member of the Senate for the Promotion of Chemical Education, A.C.S.; and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been head of the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Dayton since January 1, 1909. ----U.D.----
Active Alumni A prompt response to alumni communications and continued activity as an alumnus is not only profitable but interesting and enjoyable. The alumnus who complains that he never hears fl·om the Alumni Association except in a request for money is the same fellow who never sends in a news item about himself, who does not read his copy of the ALUMNUS, does not attend alumni meetings and get-togethers, does not call on the Alumni Office for information about his U of D friends and classmates and does not visit the campus when he has the opportunity. That complaint is not heard from active alumni. Tell him so when you see him. You know this Association is really an organization of mutual friends, bound together by the common bond of love fo1· the University of Dayton. As alumni, we are potentially and theoretically the most valuable asset of the U of D. We should be. We organized our Alumni Association in order that we might actually, instead of potentially, be a valuable asset. There is no group of college men who have any more right to be proud of their old school. No university has grown or progressed more under terrific odds than U of D in the ast few yea1·s. As U of D grows and attains more prestige, our rights as U of D alumni become more important and valuable. The most pleasant and congenial bunch of men we have ever seen were those old grads who came- back for reunions on Alumni Day. You have missed a big time by not coming. Won't you make it a habit to come out to the campus and visit the Alumni Office every time you can? - - - - U. D . - - - -
U of D Law Club Forum The University of Dayton Law Club again held one of_ its reguJar meetings on April 11 at the Dayton Biltmore Hotel.

Athletic News and Cotntnent By Mason C. Benner, '32 PRING sports at the University have ceased to be a potentiality and are now an actuality. The baseball team already has two games under its belt; the rifle team has been going strong; the fencing team had one match; the golf team has been selected and plays on Monday April 11; the intramural tennis tournament starts· a: long series of matches soon; and the chess enthusiasts have a tournament billed for the very near future. Later, the intramural recreational baseball league will break into action, as will the bowling league. Athletic Director Harry C. Baujan announced that, including the sixty men out for spring football practice, more students are participating in sports than have ever before in the history of the school. This is something to be proud of, considering the sports retrenchments by schools all over the country and that Harry is not incurring any additional expenditure for the school despite the large program.
S
BASEBALL
Most of the opponents scheduled on the diamond this year are Dayton amateur teams, although Coach Baujan has succeeded in lining up six college games and several contests with the Dayton Central League team. Saturday April 2 the Varsity disposed of the Quality Ice Cream nine in easy fashion and duplicated the performance over Keefer and Allen's team on Sunday the third. These games gave Coach Baujan a pretty good line on who the regulars will be during the rest of the season. It looks as if the lineup will read like this: Lou Tschudi, left field; Floyd Leichtle, center field; Mase Benner or Joe Colan, right field; Bob Payne, first base; Jim Cleary, second base; Ray Hausfeld, shortstop; Harold Fearn, third base; Bob Lange and Art Wallace, catchers; Ralph Burdg, Danny Gill, and Dan Fitzsimmons, pitchers. Tschudi, Leichtle, Gill, Payne and Hausfeld are sophomores; Cleary, Fearn, Burdg and Fitzsimmons are juniors; Benner, Colan, Lange and Wallace are seniors. Although not yet complete, the tentative schedule follows: Apr. 2-Quality Ice Cream May ?-Cedarville there May ?-Xavier at Cincy Apr. 3-Keefer & Allen May 19-Dayton Central Apr. 9-0ldsmobile League, Northside Field Apr. 10-H & BOtto Sh'pe Apr. 16-Hale's Lib. Markt May 20-Dayton Central League, Northside Field Apr. 17-Keefer & Allen Apr. 24-Hale's Lib. Markt May 28-Earlham at Richmond May ?-Cedarville June 4-Alumni (Class Day) May ?-Xavier May 13-Earlham GOLF
Jim Noble and Gene Marchi, professionals at the Miami Valley Golf Club, have made their selection of the Varsity golf team for the current campaign. Running true to the form expected of them, Ed Hamant, Hugh Wall and Tom Carey clinched the first three places on the Red and Blue niblick team. The fourth and most debatable position fell to John Geis. The fifth and alternate post was secured by Charley Hess. As things shape up at present, the Flyers, who open their season Monday April 11 against Heidelberg, will present a team of more strength than the four that
played last spring. The added power seems to lie in the '' No. 3 and No. 4 posts. If Carey and Geis can prove to be as good at match play as at medal the Hilltoppers will prove to be a powerful team on the links. FENCING
A gala fencing night, given as a benefit for the University of Dayton Fencing Club, will be held at the gym on Saturday April 9, at 8 :00 P. M. Although the exhibition is to be staged by the University club, other fencers will participate. Several foil bouts between women pupils of Coach R. Russell Miller will be staged. The women wielding the foils are: Gertrude Bucher, U of D student; Betty Barnett of the Y. W. C. A. ; Lera La Rae, of the Rae studios; and Martha Gennett, of Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, The Varsity fencers include: Bill Bradley, Tom Weger, Bob Zolg, John Hasegawa, Lloyd Kneisly, Larry Libecap, and Lee Stebbins. They will stage bouts in foil, epee and sabre. Two of the evening's features will be demonstrations showing how points are scored with all weapons by Coach Miller and his pupils, and a bout in Ken Jitsu, or Japanese fencing, with bamboo sticks, by John Hasegawa and Bill Bradley. Professor W. P. Mayfield, a fencer of national reputation, will referee all the bouts. This is the first time that Dayton has had an opportunity to witness an exhibition of this ancient art of self-defense, as the Varsity's first match was held at the University •of Cincinnati. The latter will show here in the near future. SPRING FOOTBALL
First scrimmage for the spring hopefuls at the University will be held starting Saturday April 16 in the form of a round-robin tournament. Three teams have been selected from the footballers and they will play each Saturday for the next three weeks. One eleven will work for a full forty minutes one Saturday, while the other two wip oppose it for twenty minutes apiece. Coaches Baujan and Belanich hope by this method to have the squad thoroughly versed in the rudiments of the radically changed rules for the opening game next season. Incidentally, Harry and Bill are not so strong for the new rules and look for changes again. llowever, they should be able to put a really great team on the field next season, rules or no rules. RIFLE TEAM
More honors were gained by the Rifle Team when they took third place in the National Intercollegiate Rifle Match. The Flyer marksmen made a total score of 1354, which compared favorably with the winning total of 1363 marked up by the University of Cincinnati. The United States Naval Academy was second with 1357. Ohio State University was two points behind Dayton for fourth place. Hubert Kline scored 281; Bill Rotterman, 276; A. Kline, 265; Greer, 269; Oster, 263. Paul Schauer was elected captain of the Rifle Team for next year and George Oster was named president of the National Rifle Association. (Concluded on Page 9)
