Kinsolving's Sermon FollowsClass Picture Taken on RogersBuilding Steps

"College constitutes a trial Tunwhich sharply tests and develops sea-manship for the further voyag e oflife. But," said Rev. Arthur L. Kin-solving, rector of Trinity Church, de-liv-ering the baccalaureate sermonSunday afternoon to the graduatino-class, "We must realize the littlenessof our learning and develop our spil'-itual faculties. They ai e the innervalues of ca true and enduring -,orth,the keyr to real and enduring happli-ness."

The class assembled in front of theRogers Building befol e the service,and in the traditional can and gownthe class picture was taken.

Bell l~eads Procession

The pl ocession was then formedand the class marched to the Churchled by Richar d Bell, Presiclent, andthe thl ee ma-rshals: Henry D. Hum-phreys, G. Kingman Crosby, and Ed-ngar B. Chiswvell.

Dr. Kinsolving in his extremelyyouthful manner presented some ofthe pitfalls which wvould confront thegraduating class. "I know that noth-ing short of God," he asserted, "isadequate to equip one with thecapacity to rise abov e the cheatingpromises of the lust of the eye, thelust of the flesh, and the lulride oflife, that snar e and dlelude gencera-tions of mzen fron] the life indeed."

Excerpts from thc slpecch follow:"Betw-een the East coast of Eng-

W~ith 60-odd per cent of the gr ad-uating class and 80-odld per cent ofthe graduate students placed in Nvorkfor the coming year, prospects foremployment have definitely in-creased, states Karl T. Compton innlis address at the graduation exer-cises of Technology today in Sym-phony Hall.

lThe percentage of graduatingseniors placed has nearly doubled inone year and the average of thewhole ,,roup has incereased 50 perceent, he declar~ed. "This may seem acold comfort to those individualsamong you cn wthom the lightninghas not happened to strike, but it isnot so. There is every indicationthat positions are opening up andthat is certainly an encouragement toeveryone."

Following his announcemlent of theauthorization by the executive COml-mi'ttee of the const~ruction of the newf "eld house President Comp~ton con-tinlued: "It is natural at a time likethis, that we look ahead-that wzewzonder wblat is goin- to becomne of.you, that you have some curiosityyourselves on this point.

gret, this our last literary effort for

the most alive of all the Technology

to settle. We hope you will forgive

us for our vindictiveness.

-o-

Robert E. Rogers, aliasDorothy Dix

Gazing through a haze of beer

suds at his round dimpled face, as

he orated to the Senior Class at the

banquet, we regarded this connu-

bially minded professor with no small

apprehension. As thorough a Kip-

lingist, an Empire Builder, a believer

in Authority Beginning at Hone, as

ever trod the face of earth, it strikes

us that he better watch out!

We think that he should go back to

the safer ground of the merits of our

prosy modern writers and leave this

Sacred State to the discretion of the

individual, or as is more likely, to

the laps of the gods.

He started it all away back with

this advice about the boss' daughter

and then he changed his mind to a

stenographer. and now he thinks it

is only comnie id fcaut to pick one of

the Washington intelligentsia and in-

sists on the intellect as against the

more matel ial and old-fashioned cri-

terion of ability with a sirloin steak.

Why doesn't he make up his mind?

And while be is dloin- that we wish

he would tell us bow we are going to

get rid of the stenog we made up to

in accordance with earlier instruc-

tions.Of cour se we do have personal

bone to pick with hiln. Nobody gol

it in the newspapers, thank the Lord,

but we conceive it to be personal libe.

when he holds us, yes us, up as tbh

Technology movie star and then pro.ceeds to compare us with Clarl

Gable. Perhaps it is a case of th(

author perceiving his own imag(

when he says this, but we would lik(

to point out as a common character

THE BLIND ALLEY

THIS YOUNGER GENERATION

ss a ELL has become an extinct volcano,"

l H said Mr. James Pratt in "Religion and

the Younger Generation," summing up by im-plication the outstanding result of the growingtendency of today's youth away from tradi-tional religion. Conditions in this industrialcivilization have conspired to make an implicit

faith in a Divine Authority questioned by alarge percentage of the younger generation.The accelerated tempo of modern life has

taken attention away from the Church andmade the problem of finding the path to the

"good life" more acute perhaps than it everhas been.

The statement expressed prior to 1929 in

The Congregationalist is in no sense true to-

day, however. The article declares: "The vastmajority of (college) students are not in-

terested in the church. They have no senseof the importance of the church. They haverelegated the church beyond the horizon of

their interest." Today there exists a verydefinite attitude of serious inquiry into re-ligion which is entirely different from that ofthe youth of ten years ago. Statements by

college editors of Harvard, Yale, and Colum-bia indicate widespread, eager discussions on

religion.Statistically it is impossible to deter mine

the ratio of church-attendinig youth to the en-tire group, and even if figures were available,they would be subject to various interpreta-tions. Other conditions which make it difficultto appraise the American youth's attitudetoward religion are his not too consistent up-bringing, his readily explicable perplexity onthe question, and the nebulous interconnectionbetween religion and other world problemssuch as politics.

Perplexed with the problem of finding a be-

lief adequate to carry him through a complexcivilization, youth is faced with distinctly -newproblems. A college man recently expressedwhat appears to be a typical sentiment: "I

don't get a great deal from the church," hE

said. "What I get there hasn't got anythingto do with moral values. I go just for thE

THE ART OF EXPRESSION

STRATTON PRIZE: CONTEST

T HE Good Lord knows that this world hasno lack of Words. But Words cunningly

arranged so that they clearly and artisticallyconvey meaning are so rare as to always at-tract attention.

Deficiency in the art of expression is com-

mon not only to graduates of technical insti-tutions but to members of the liberal artsschools. Possessed of a large vocabulary, a

easonable acquaintance with the rules of,g-rammal, and often ideas which are well worthgiving to a larger audience than the narrowcircle of experts in their particular line, thesemen rarely have the skill and talent to fit

words together into patterns which willrapidly and easily express thought images.

To emphasize the need for skillful prepara-tion and effective delivery of scientific paperswas one of the basic reasons for the formationof the Stratton Prizes. These awards were

first given in the second semester of the acad-emic year 1930-31, when Dr. Samuel W. Strat-ton gave three cash prizes to establish a com-petition open to members of the Undergradu-ate Professional Societies. It was his hopethat tllis competition might be an annualaffail which would stimulate student interestin scientific professional societies.

It is only by the successful presentation of

new ideas, by overcoming the inertia, the pre-conceived opinions and the ignorance of menthat the world moves forward. Any stimulusthalt increases the ability of leaders in thesciences and the arts to acquaint the rest of

the world with the results of their labor is a

distinct contribution to progress.

Voss, Dr. Allan W. Roweandf Mr.. Henlry E. W~or~cester bebgana studly of the piroject. The plan theysubmitted has been approved by thecorporiation, which has matle an ap-proprliation for its construction.

The Barbour Field House will be1831 feet long and 53 feet wide inplan, and one story 'high. The struc-tur~e will rest on caissons 1·eachingdown to the undeirlying sand str~ataandl will be designed to allow a miini-inunil settlement. The main founda-tion and ground floor· structure willbe of 1·einfoirced concrete. The iroofwill 1·est upon a concr~ete-encasedst~uctur~al steel frame and the roof-qlabs will pirovide individual skylight,,for· ever.y r~oom in the building. Theirewill be no windows in any of thewalls, thus allowing a str~aig-htfor--wardt and pleasing archlitectur~alti-eatnient. The walls pr~oper~ will beconstlructed by the new ii-onocr~ete,systeni which pr'ovides insulation and

rE1eat economy. The enthr-e exter~ior·will be faced with yellow pressedbr1icke of a F~lemish and English cross-bondi pattern, resting upon a base ofaranite cast stone.

w>idely known research engineer ofBr idfgeport, Conn., as'associate pro-fessor of mechanical engineering atthe Institute was announced recentlyby the administration,

Mr. dleForest's special field at Tech-nology wvill includse study of the dy-sramic propel ties of metals, particu-larly the strength of full-size parts,and the relation between design,mletallur gy, and application of loadin modern machinery. The forceswn.hich produce and the factors that] init resonant vibrations will be animportant part of the work, and Mr.demor est w.Nill give special attentionto the (levelop~ment of new test meth-ods and measul ing instruments. Hisinvestigatio>ns at Technology are ex-pectedl to lead to the establishmentof a laboratory in which the knowl-edge and experience of the machinedesigner, the metallurgist and thephysicist can be focussed on theworking properties of machine mate-rials.

Mr. dleForest was educated at theTMidldlesex School of Concord, Mass.,and at the Institute, where he was-oraduated in 1912.

STATISTICS SHOW 1937,TRACK TEAM SUPERIOR

(Continuled fr om Page 1)Iby far the outstanding athlete in thelast few years, being Intercollegiateand New En-land sprint champion,also winner of many special racesduring his four years as a Tech

,student.With him came along such stars as

Johnny Barrett, Rees Schwarz,George Smith, and Louis Holladaywrho won the Freshman New EnglandMedley relay race at L~ewiston,hMaine. This year the freshman team.consisting of Al Faatz, Dave Mc~jel-lan, Walter Nygaard, and EugeneCooper won the relay in four secondsfaster time than did the outgoingclass.

The bi-oad jump has been an eventthat h-as bad its record changed manytimes during the past four years,andl Walter Wrigley had a lot to dowith it since he broke the Institutel ccord five tinges in one day at theHarvard Stadium in 1932 (luring theGreater Boston Intercollegiates. Thisyear Stan Johnson, a Sophomore, hasleaped a distance of 24 ft. 11/2 in. fora new varsity record.

As freshmen the class of '34 cre-ated a new record in twvo outdoorevents; the 220-yard dash in 22.4 byRichard Bell and the broadl jump byWalter Wrigley with a leap of 22 ft.10`S4 in. The incoming class this yearhas a better record as a team. Cap-tain Eugene Cooper bl oke the halfmile record by '1/5 of a second, theprevious record having stood since1920, lowering it to 2.01.0. HenryGuerke also broke into the limelightwhen he ran the mile 4.32 flat for anewt recordl.

Jim Thomson, the star of the firstyear men andf leading scorer in thedual meets, created two new fresh-man records. He put the shot 48 ft.6 in. and high jumped 6 ft. 7/ in. toestablish a new freshman as well asInstitute record, erasing C. E. Coon'smark of 6 ft. 1,S in. made in 1930.Coon xvas also a freshman when hemade his record.

The records of the class of '34sadout above those of '37 when

comparing the two on the outdoortrack. Bell set records in the 50-yardand 300-yard dashes, Wrigley in thebroad jump, and Charles Hall in the1000-yard and mile runs.

This year the yearlings also haveset new marks in the book of recordswhen Henry Guerke ran the 1000-yard stretch in 2.23.8 and Jim Thom-son put the shot 47 ft. 41/t inches.All in all it is quite evident thatthese two teamis have or will maketrack history for M. I. T.

who has let down the moral struggletoward( development, which life is,ina rries. For a while the girl whoentr usts her destiny to him is bliss-fu.ly happy. Then she begins to dis-cover, to be anxious about tendencieswhich for a while he put aside, butto which he returns, for he got morwe

- sTl1iese new discoveries I have-Ibeen investigating recently, asking

scientists about their significance.i.It miay riot be obvious why the

savina, of money and making of bet--ter mnetals should be important to a- o1l-q already overstocked with

.nmetals and the facilities for leakingtheirs The reason is that every greatteanhlical advance sets new forces in11()tion completely outside its ownfieldl."

New Era to Eclipse Steel Age." Until nowv the world has beenlinilited for its structural needs andit.; machines to a few materialsWhdich wvere dug from the earth, or to4. lnpi) oements made in them by afess pl ocesses which luck unearthedill labol atories.

"But when the quantum theory canlbe aised in planning, there will be ar-ellitec~ts Iot only for design but fordural)ility and every other structuralqualitY. In due time it is possiblesuch1 a new structural era will as fareclilpse our present age of steel and0til' I more recent age of alloys, asthlese two overshadow the bronze ageof our half savage ancestors.

' Sea island power is a new and dif-ferent version of these projects, Ifit is, perfected, the scientists expectto use a new method of transmissionto bring the endergy to the mainland.

'1This year it is beginning to ap-peal that somne of our foremost scien-tist s have been hasty in predictingthat it is hopeless to expect useful1power^ out of atomic energy. Someof these predictions were made afterCo)c kroft andl Walton, two Britishplilvsicists, had obtained atomic par-ticles of 15,000,000 volts energy froma tulle of 600,000 volts.

"ARnother group of scientists isqtudtvinff the use of our rivers towvat(Ir iands now aridl. Canals, they,say, alre too wastefuil. But as news4i uw tural mater ials develop, watercan be piped in elosed conduits forl eat distances."This idea may have some imm-e-

diate appeal if the Japanese cul rentk~eep).i shifting as oceanographers sayit has this year."

Science Not Magic"The scientific method is not dliffi-

nilt. It is not magic. Scientists doniot possess better brains than otheriXien. The scientific miethod is esse-n-tia11ly no different than the one usedby tile wvorld's successful leaders forthousands of years. But in sciencetile method is mnore clearly defined."

Apply T'ime Scientifically"Apply the time formula in its

scientific sense, and you will developall the patience, foresight, statesnian-shil) and long-time planning for%0lhich we as a nation have prayed-and( often prayed in vain.

''Another principle of the scien-'tife niethod has various names. The

nainn I choose today is youth."In essence scientists pl actice the

prinleille of the freedom of the press.'fhe fal~l significance of this freedomn,I think, is recognized only by newvs-pal~ernmen andl scientists-and possi-bly dlictator s.

"F'inally, the scientific method con--Sioers the public wvelfare and it doesSo to a degree which no other for-)n)tja equals.
