S. Watterworth the class of 1919, American Rhodes Scholars, given in the grill room of R. M. S. "Aquitania," while the class was en route to Southampton in Septemb'er of this year. Inside the menu pamphlet were the names of the fortunate scholars and the histories of the colleges they were to attend at Oxford. For instance, there was Balliol college, founded 1268 -,and here our impressions of the extreme age of Michigan tradi- tions suffered a shock, and we came to realize that if there is nothing new under the sun, it is just as true that there is Nothing so old but something else is older. Incidentally, it is mentioned that Adam Smith and Robert Southey were members of this college. Then there's Christ Church college - very young, founded as late as 1525, and numbering among its alumni the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, Sir Philip Sydney, John Locke, Wil- liam Penn, John and Charles Wesley, Ben Jonson and John Ruskin. Turning the page, we found that the alumni of Queen's college include Henry V and the Black Prince, who we had always thought belonged to nothing but ancient history textbooks. Oxford is the result of centuries of true academic atmosphere - not the decadent sort, but the kind that produces generations of great men. The world does not scorn its age nor its traditions, but sends the flower of the scholars of all nations to learn in its classrooms. Age in itself does not spellgreat- ness, and the University of Michigan is in the soul of every man and woman of its student body the greatest university of all. But from Oxford we can learn the great power of a fine history, and ap- preciate the necessity of upholding our traditions, thereby to build up a greater institution, a stronger loyalty, and the true college atmosphere that even in its comparative youth is coming to distinguish our University. THEIR FIRST REWARD Over the long trail that climbs beyond Geddes heights and into the hills and dales to the noth- eastward, sixty white-clad freshman cross country tryouts were seen Saturday morning, with fists clenched and feet beating swiftly on the paths, in a three mile race which brought cups to three of them and class numerals to six. These men are the half-milers, milrs, two mil- ers and cross country men of Michigan's near fu- ture on the indoor track and the cinders. Every day through what has been to them a weary fall they have trained down to running trim by the en- durance-testing strain of a three to five mile run. Yesterday, a few hours before their fellow harriers on the Varsity met M. A. C. at East Lansing, they competed for the first real recognition they have re- ceived during their long fall task of conditioning and training. The spirit of these men - and it is the spirit of all those who, from the dim past, have fought on track and court and gridiron for the Maize and Blue - is the true spirit of loyalty, which works on unflinchingly without thought of reward. These freshmen will be better Michigan men for it when they come back next fall, besides better material for the 'Varsity. To the freshman who tries, whether it be in athletics or campus activities, SMichigan's hand is always open. Harriers of '24, success to you. Even if "The Battle of Ann Arbor" was your only major engagement, send for that uniform! You can do your part too in the Armistice day pa- rade Thursday.

KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY The University of Michigan Aeronautical so- ciety was founded last spring. Ay ex-aviation serv- ice man or member of any of the aeronautical classes of the University is eligible to membership. The purpose of the organization is to interest the members in flying, besides giving them a working knowledge of the subject. ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? Michigan lost, but 'she lost fighting. Hoodooed again by the same bad luck that proved fatal in the Illinois game, the Yostmen put every ounce of their strength toward staging a "Michigan come back" and never conceded themselves beaten until the referee's whistle killed all hope. To a team instilled with such fight as this there is no disgrace in defeat. The game is a hard pill for all Michigan men to swallow for it completely blasts all our hopes of becoming this year's Conference champions. Com- ing after our "near-victory" over Illinois, as it does, and being the game 'which we had all set our hearts on winning, it threatens the Michigan spirit lately so strong in our breasts. But now every one of us is in the position the team was yesterday. The game is going against us. Shall we give up? The team didn't. If we did we would not be true Michigan men. Let's show the team the same fight they have shown us, and redouble our efforts for a win in every game left on our schedule. FRESHIMEN TALKS Upperclassmen envy first year students for theirj exclusive privilege of. hearing President Burton address them in his "Talks to Freshman" series. Some have even yielded to an irresistible tempta- tion and become "freshmen for a day" so that they might share in the good fortune of the yearlings. In so doing they make no mistake, as far more unusual means than this have been resorted to in order to hear our new president speak. This fall some of the very students who took the least interest in the lectures last year are regretting that they did not make the full use of their oppor- tunity and would welcome the repetition of the chance. In the main the members of the class of '24 have realized the significance of these lectures, but the attendance isreported to have fallen off since the initial meeting. The freshman class, by unani- mously attending these talks, will show that it has a true sense of values. COLLEGE ATMOSPHERE The other day, just as we were pondering on the excellence of Michigan's fine old traditions and the names of her famous alumni, there came to our hand a menu bf the Cunard line, for a dinner to to-date methods. 0 "awwt ow Large is an Atom? ATOMS are so infinitesinal that to be seen'under the most power- ful microscope one hundred million must be grouped. The atom used to be the smallest indivisible unit of matter. When the X-Rays and radium were discovered physicists found that they were dealing with smaller things than atoms-with particles they call "electrons." Yes, Clarice, you are right in saying that now that the great drink question (Who's going to buy the next round?) has been solved the greatest prob- lem confronting the American people today is: "Why do the seasons spring from winter and fall from summer to winter?" Dear Noah : In Omar Khayyam the following figure of speech appears, "The bird of time is on the wing." What is the reference here? Studious. I suppose Omar was referring to the bird in a cuckoo clock. Our Willie passed away, His face we'll see no more, What Willie took for H2 O Proved H~ S O . Exchange. Atoms are built up of electrons, just as the solar system is built up of sun and planets. Magnify'the hydrogen atom, says Sir Oliver Lodge, to the size of a cathedral, and an electron, in comparison, will be no bigger than a bird-shot. Not much substantial progress can be made in chemical and elec- trical industries unless the action of electrons is studied. For that reason the chemists and physicists in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Co1npany are as muclh concerned with the very con- stitution of matter as they are with the development of new inven- tions. They use the X-Ray tube as if it were a machine-gun; for by its means electrons are shot at targets in new ways so as to reveal more about the structure of matter. As the result of such experiments, the X-Ray tube has been greatly improved and the vacuum tube, now so indispensable in radio com- munication, has been developed into a kind of trigger device for guid. ing electrons by radio waves. Years may thus be spent in what seems to be merely a purely "theoretical". investigation. Yet nothing is so practical as a good theory. The whole structure of modern mechanical engineering is reared on Newton's laws of gravitation and motion-theories stated' in the form of immutable propositions. In the past the theories that resulted from purely scientific re- search usually came from the-university laboratories, whereupon thbe industries applied them. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company conceive it as p'art of their task to explore the un- known in the same spirit, even though there may be no immediate commercial goal in view. Sooner or later the world profits by such research in pure science. Wireless communication, for example, was accomplished largely as the result of Herz's brilliant series of purely scientific experiments demonstrating the existence of wireless waves. General Offsice -0Shenecmady, N.Y. Once again the charge of being a co-ed hater has cast its blighting shadow over our young life. A young lady of our acquaintance came up to us the other day and said, "Is it true, Jack, that you told several of your friends the other night that you didn't like co-eds ?" Naturally we were very indignant that we should have been thus misquoted and misunderstood but we finally managed to gain control of ourself and answered with becoming indignity: "Not at all. We never said anything about not liking the co-eds. What we said was that the more ew see of co-eds the better we like eighth grade girls."
