Morley Appoints Three
To Collection Committee
Appointment of a special undergraduate Collection Committee has
been made by President Felix Morley for the coming year, it was
announced Friday. The object of
this undergraduate committee is to
consult with the President in regard to Collection Speakers diming the academic year 1941-1942.
Committee members for next
year will be Philip McLellan, '42,
John Marsh, '43, and Robert Jordan, '44. They will be charged
with representing the students'
viewpoint in the handling of the
Collection programs.
Immediate expansion of American facilities for scientific research was urged tonight by former President Herbert
Hoover before an audience of 900 diplomats, educators,
alumni, graduates, students, and friends of the College at
Commencement exercises in Roberts Hall. Mr. Hoover told
the graduates, of whom nearly two-thirds were recipients of
the degree of Bachelor of Science, that the step was essential
to avert the lowering of national living standards and degeneration of Western civilization The Commencement address
was relayed to an audience of 1000 on the campus and in the
Seniors Give Bonds
Towards Field House
HERBERT CLARK HOOVER — "Great humanitarian and farsighted organizer for the alleviation of suffering; benefactor and
beneficiary of the spirit of true liberalism; fearless apostle of
individual enterprise as directed to social betterment; statesman of
world outlook and tireless worker in the paths of peace; guardian
of higher education and compassionate comrade of underprivileged
youth; democratic leader with sympathies as broad as the human
race, in admiration of surpassing service in the tradition of the
Society of Friends, Haverford College confers on you the degree
of Doctor Of Laws."
Varsity Club Plans
Closer Cooperation
With Swarthmore
Steps toward closer cooperation
with Swarthmore in the field of
sports will be continued next year
by the Varsity Club, Alan L. Dorian, president of the club, announced last week.
Planned for the evening following the first annual SwarthmoreHaverford football game in recent
years in a Vic Dance which will
be held in the Gymnasium. A similar dance for both Swarthmore
and Haverford undergraduates was
held this winter following the basketball game between the two colleges.
Hereafter members of the Varsity 06b will wear enamel H's in
their lapels, according to Dorian,
who has already ordered the insignias. The club is also Planning
a dance for the first football game
at home next year.
Inducted last week into the club
were William R. Watson, Jr., -Robert H. Smith, and Robert C. Folwell, 8d. Watson received his varsity letter in baseball, Smith in
track, and Folwel] in cricket.
As part of the Commence.
merit and Alumni Day ceremonies, the Senior Class presented the College with $150 in
defense bonds, to be used as
the nucleus for a Field House
Fund. The gift was chosen
after the Class had given long
consideration to a number of
other proposals submitted by
the Gift Committee, which Gerritt L. Ewing heeded.
Among the plans discarded
was a proposition to use the
money as part of the amount
necessary for the remodeling
of the Union. Evving'e committee included Richard H. Bolster, II, J. David Garmey,
Henry A. Smith, Jr., and William R. Watson, Jr.
"Presenting the College with
a nucleus fund for a Field
House," Ewing stated, "was the
most practical gift the Senior
Class could think of."

Ends Day of Sports
A crowd of 1500 alumni overflowed the campus today as the
afternon was packed with athletic
events in anticipation of the Commencement exercises. Alumni were
registered at 2:00 in front of

Following the afternoon sports
program a chicken dinner was
served for the Alumni outdoors on
the campus. After dinner the annual Alumni Step-singing was held
under the leadership of Graham
Rohrer, '35.

Hoover a Vic Dance was held in
the gymnasium.

Union by a loud speaker system,
and was heard over the Columbia
Broadcasting System on a coastto-coast network.
Receives Degree
Immediately prior to his address the speaker received the honorary degree of Doctor of laws
from President Felix Morley. "We
can at least count you as an alumnus," said Dr. -Morley, foreshadowing Mr. Hoover's opening remark
that he was glad to be at Haverford partly because he once considered going there as an undergraduate.
The citation described Mr. Hoover as a "great humanitarian and
far-sighted organizer for the alleviation of suffering," naming him
both as "guardian of higher education" and "statesman of world
outlook." It stated that the award
was made "in admiration of sues
passing service in the tradition of
the -Society of Friends."
Reads from Scriptures
Preceding presentation of Mr.
Hoover's degree, Morris E. Leeds,
'88, Chairman of the Board of
Managers and President of the
Corporation, read from the Scriptures, prizes were announced by
Dean H. Tatnall Brown, and diplomas were presented.
In introducing Mr. Hoover, President Morley said that the participation of a former President of
the United States in a Haverford
commencement program was "unprecedented and without counterpart." "In a few minutes," he
continued, "the prestige of our
guest of honor will carry the name
of our modest little college
throughout the length' and breadth
of the 'United States."

"Where is Haverford?"
' ONIGHT several hundred thousand
1 Americans who had never heard of
Haverford College heard former President
Hoover speak from Roberts Hall. Through
the simple expedient of installing a micro--Iffione on the opealter's stand, the College
has perhaps Eubled the number of American citizens who can answer the question,
"Where is Haverford College?" without
consulting the World Almanac.
This is as it should be. Any one who
has been associated with the College realizes that it is undeniably one of the halfdozen finest small colleges in the country.
There is no reason why it should not become the most desirable small men's college in the United States, with a waiting
list as long as Dean Mac wants to allow it
to grow.
Already, increasing enthusiasm for
Haverford is reflected in the attitude of tonight's graduates. Many of them have already expressed a sincere regret at leaving;
a wholesome affection for the College has
grown up, especially during this spring,
among the members of 1941. And this attitude is reflected by the underclassmen,
whose ears are seldom assailed, nowadays,
by the frequent torrents of upperclass complaining which used to be so harmful to
morale.
School spirit does not involve only
snake-dances and bonfires. Such manifestations of enthusiasm are appropriate for
the gigantic coeducational institutions
where such hysterical activity is the only
way one can effectively express his love for
Alma Mater. But school spirit at a college
like Haverford consists of an affection for
the place, devoted application to one's own
activities, and an interest in and sympathy
for the activities of one's fellows.
There may be a few Seniors who have
neither profited from nor enjoyed their
years at Haverford, but if there are, it
seems likely that much of the fault is theirs.
They may have come to college seeking intensive preparation for some partichlar vocation, or expecting a philosophy of life to
unfold automatically for them along about
the middle of junior year, or anxious to
wear beer-jackets to all-important football
games where great crowds roared and tried
to tear down the goal posts.
But Haverford is not a vocational
school, nor is it able to equip each student
with a pass-key to life's problems, nor is it
a lusty state university. Rather it is a quiet
retreat where young men of better-thanaverage ability gather to train themselves
for the world. Their education may be imperfect when they graduate, but if they
have met Haverford half way, they have
gained something rare wh.,ich they might
never have found, or might have found only
with great difficulty, elsewhere.
No Senior will ever forget Haverford
who has stood alone by the pond very late
at night, listening to the croaking of the
bull frogs and the splashing of the water
over the dam, and watching the pale willows in the moonlight.
To the Editor of the NEWS:
There's one thing I've been meaning to write
about for years—namely, the remarkable requirements we have here for the B. A. degree. Whether
or not a student takes work in the Latin or Greek
departments seems to me irrelevant in determining whether he is an Arta or a Science major.
Even though a man may take nothing but French,
German, acid English, together with his limited
electives, be most graduate under the present
system with a Science degree.
This seems unfair. Except for an aspiring
scientist, I think a B. A. degree has a bit more
prestige than a B.S. I'd like to be getting one
myself, but I feel that the four years of Latin
I had in high school are sufficient for my needs.
I trust it isn't true that the classics department champions the present rule because it bolsem attendance in Latin ind Greek classes.
Whether it is or not, I'd like to recommend a new
and, I feel, better arrangement.
Toward the end of -his senior year, each student shall make application for the degree (Bachelor of Arts or Science) which he wants to receive in June. A faculty committee shall pass
on these applications, awarding the requested degree in every case where the applicant's -program
over the four years has been compatible with the
award of such degree.
The faculty would act favorably on most of
the applications without question, but in the case,
for example, where a man who has taken all
science courses except for his limited electives applies for a B. A., his request would be refused and
he would automatically receive a Science degree.
The bachelor's degree should give some idea
of the type of work a man- did while an undergraduate. Under the present arrangement, a..
Haverford bachelor'a gives no such indication and
may often be misleading.

To the Editor of the NEWS:
In getting material for the lest issue of the
NEWS one of your reporters interviewed me and
wrote an accurate article on my forecast of English courses for the near future. But as the paper
went to press, it happened that the most important
sentence in the article dropped out; as a result I
was left in the amusing position of (apparently)
implying that creative writing and twentiethcentury literature would be the essentials of the
Haverford English courses in the future. This is
funny to the casual reader, but not so funny to a
departmental chairman whose responsibility is to
see that his department offers a sound, wellintegrated group of courses with special emphasis
on the greatest periods of literature. The sentence
which dropped out, and which I now wish to emphasize, was to this effect: "First, last, and always,
the Haverford English Department will stress the
literature of the Elizabethan period and of the
nineteenth century."
Very truly yours,
EDWARD D. SNYDER.
The revolution in poetry is dying' and verse
forms are turning to more rational expression. Of
exactly what these forms should consist, no one
can state with definite authority beyond asserting
that poetry must be more positive and less negative. Mr. Arthur Inman, '17, has one solution,
which he presents in his new book, Three Mood,
(Dutton, $2.50). His credo is one of expressing the
simple truths inspired by objects with which the
majority of his readers are surely acquainted.
More ambitious than his former works, Three
Moods contains three separate books.
"This I Know," the first, finds some good still
present in life today, if we know where to look for
it. Here is one poet who does not want to escape
entirely from now, but one who faces the problems
of living with hope and realism. Mr. Inman may
mourn the fact that machines occupy so great a
place and may still rejoice in nature. He knows
past ages have been no better, as he affirms in
"Genghis Khan" and "West African Interlude,"
which is the most powerful effort.
The section "Hokusai Saw" attempts a thankless and almost impossible task: the translation of
an art form in one medium to another. Each of
the seventy-five poems comprising this section has
been inspired by a Japanese print by Hokusai. As
poems, these possess a surprising and refreshing
elan. However, as an effort to present one art
idiom in another, they are doomed to a certain
defeat by their 'purpose. Mr. Inman should have
set up a less ambitious standard, but congratulations are in order because he succeeds as well as
he has.
"The Maples Are Red" reaches its goal with
far more ease. Without undue nostalgia and
remorse, the poet paints with varied colors the
events and characters associated with his boyhood. Here is the usual appeal of a memoir along
with a searching analysis of characters. The poem
"Ned Werner stands out in exceptionally clear
tones. Among the descriptive poems in this section are discerned the same sure, yet light, touches.
Little fault can be found with any of the
works in this book, if one accepts the credo of
simplicity and directness of form and expression
in which Mr. Inman believes.

deferment to allow students a
chance to find defense jobs, Watson
said, "I believe the government is
defeating its purpose of placing
graduates in vital defense industries by making the deferment
temporary, for no employer wants
to hire a MEE who is subject to
draft -inj.he near future.'

All-Haverford Plan Proves West, '24, Elected
Successful in Two Years Alumni President;
Succeeds Burtt, '08
Ii?creased Attendance
At College Events
Shows New Interest
By THEODORE WHITTELSEY,
JR.
Two years' operation of the AllHaverford Plan offers a basis of
comparison with the former method
of simple paying of alumni dues.
Through the Plan, Haverford organizations have shared in the retugps from alumni dues. In return,
alumni members have enjoyed free
admission to all campus activities.
Alumni in the Philadelphia area,
who are in a position to visit the
campus more often than those at
a distance, pay double dues. Family membership, at a somewhat
higher fee, entitles the whole family to free-admission privileges.
Individual alumni have derived
some satisfaction from the knowledge that their dues help to
srengthen Haverford institutions;
not only the Alumni Association,
but the NEWS, Cap and Bells Club
and the Athletic Association.
Whenever alumni in good standing
have been able to return-.to the
campus, they have been made welcome to all activities of the day
without charge. Haverford wives
and children, including future Hayerfordians, have turned out in
numbers for Haverford events.
Haverford Organizations Benefit
A morale-building increase in
alumni attendance at College
events that began last year has
continued this year. Archibald
Macintosh, '21, reports that more
alumni saw football and soccer
games this year. Last year showed
an increase over the year before.
Mr. Macintosh, with characteristic
caution, does not commit himself
in respect to basketball or track.
Some gain in track attendance was
noted last year. Many alumni
have enjoyed the skating-pond the
last two winters. A number of
alumni took advantage of the AilHaverford offer of summer tennis.
Cap and Bells performances last
year and this year have played to
the largest Haverford audiences in
history. Both years, attendance
has required 'two Home Performances of the Fall and Spring plays.
Over 300 alumni and their guests
attended "Pirates' of Penzance"
last May. Total attendance through
this year's Plan totaled 630, com-

The income of the Cap and Bells
Club and the Athletic Association
has been increased considerably by
their share of alumni dues. They
have been able to equip themselves
to do a better job for their Haverford public.
The NEWS has continued to *receive an income from alumni dues,
in return for free subscriptions to
all alumni. The Alumni Page of
the NEWS has showed a marked
improvement, according to a majority of the Class Representatives.
The page is the product of the
work of the Alumni Secretary and
the Alumni Editor of the NEWS.
Alumni Association Strengthened
The All-Haverford Plan has
helped to make the Alumni Association a closer knit organization.
Eventually, the Alumni Association hopes to receive an appreciably larger income, permitting it
to do more for the benefit and
pleasure of alumni and to render
a greater service to Haverford.
That day is a little slow in coming, but the figures that appear
with this article show definite,
though not spectacular, progress.

HAVERFORD NEW'S
Captains Trackmen
Haverord School
Winner; Amussen
Leading Ford Scorer
ilaverfard's Freshman track
team brought its 1941 season to
a conclusion on Wednesday,:May
twenty-first, as it placed second in
a triangular track meet which
Haverford School won with a 661/2
point total. The Freshmen scored
48 points and George School finished last with 2834.
In compiling its winning score,
the Haverford School team gathered in seven out of the thirteen
firsts, while the Freshmen collected loft. Blydenbergh, of Haverford School, took the individual
scoring honors of the meet with
thirteen points. He did this by
taking first in the discus, second
in the broad jump and hundred
yard dash, and third in the shot
put. Comm, also of Haverford
School, and Amussen of the College Freshmen, tied for second with
ten points, and Wood and Lukens
were next with nine.
Howard Wood, who captured
most of his points by winning the
hundred yard -dash, made it one
of the most interesting races of
the day as he came from behind to
win it after having trailed Blydenbergh for the greater part Of the
distance. Moose Amussen also put
on a last second spurt in the two
twenty to snatch the decision from
Haverford School's League by a
very narrow margin.
Corum, of Haverford School was
the only man to win two events
during the afternoon. After he
bad taken first place in the mile
run, he came back to capture the
half mile race from Doug Wendell
in the time of two minutes, 6.4
seconds.
Freshman Ed Goerke
Wins Tennis Tourney
Ed Goerke, Freshman tennis ace,
defeated retiring Captain George
Swan in the final match of the
competition for the Virginia Cup
and the championship of Haverford
College by a. score of 6-1, 6-4, 6-3.
The outcome of the match was
never in doubt, as Goerke dominated the play.throughout.
Goerke rear...hid the finals by virtue of a semi-filial round victory
over Bill Newhall after a hard
battle, 7-9, 8-6, 6-2, 7-5. The other
semi-final match found Swan downing Harry Vila, 5-7, 8-6, 6-4, 6-4.

the 220-yard low hurdles in the
Intercollegiate American Amateur

for the semi-final heat.
Walt Falconer, middle distance

bat though he ran the fastest race
of his career, being unofficially
timed in 1:57.6, failed to place
against the nation's beat halfmilers. Evans also ran his fastest
race to date, being unofficially

years and the cross-country team

meet competition since he came to

team which won the Middle Atlantic championship last year, and the
one which placed second this year.

As the spring sport season came
to a close Saturday with the track
team's victory over Drexel and
P. M. C., "Pop" Haddleton's proteges raised their season's mark td
three victories against four defeats.
This would appear to be the worst
record the track team has had in
several years, but In reality it is
net nearly as bad as it seems. The
1941 team was not much weaker
than any of its immediate predecessor:, the opposition was merely
much stronger. Schools like Gettysburg, Lafayette, and Lehigh are
finally beginning to bring their
track teams up on a par with their
football, basketball and baseball
teams. How mach longer Haverford can compete in a class with
them is problematic. Perhaps it
would be in the interests of a better balanced schedule to drop one
of them next year.
* • •
No team deserves more praise
than Coach Norman Bramall's tennis team. Winner of only one
match last year, and faced with the
loss of its number one and two
players, it nevertheless won well
over half its matches. Particulary outstanding is the record of
freshman Ed Goerke, who played in
the number one spot most of the
season and won ten straight matches before suffering his first defeat
last week. Although several members of the team will be lost by
graduation, the presence of three
freshmen on the varsity, plus the
fact that the freshman team is the
beat in three years, augurs well for
seasons to come.
As a matter of fact, the future
appears promising for Haverford
teams in all sports. The track
team loses but four members, and
has adequate replacements for
every one of them. The golf team
will be hit by graduation, but like
the tennis team, contains three
freshmen who should lead it to
several more successful years. The
baseball team never quite reached
the peak of its potentialities, for
just as it appeared to hit a winning stride, injuries and comprehensives interfered. Most of the
team returns next season, however,
and 1942 might well be the year.
* • •
Finally, a word about cricket.
The eldest sport in Haverford history, it regained some lost prestige
this year. For the past few seasons cricket had been thought of
by many as the sport which anyone who couldn't make any other
team played on, just to be on a
team. This year, however, with
the founding of an intercollegiate
league, there was a renewed interest in it. Over thirty candidates
reported for the team.

Text of President Hoover's Commencement Address This Evening
Following is a fell lent of the
speech delivered this evening by the
Honorable Herbert HOMY./ at Consineneemeni exercises:
It is a great pleasure at last to be
able to accept an_invitation to come
M
to Haverford. And for two reasons.

managers insisted that my spiritual
welfare would be unsafe in a nonsectarian institution. They therefore secured for use a scholarship
in this college and an alternate one
at Earlham. But my ambitions
then were in sciences and engineering — and Haverford, at that time,
was not strong in that branch. That
deficiency has long science been
overcome and Haverford now turns
out its quota of first quality men
in those branches.
Urges Expansion
I wish to take this occasion to
urge again the immediate expansion of our research facilities in
pure and applied science, and -the
more systematic application of
what we already know in these
fields. That is at all tines the
highway to increased efficiency and
increased productivity. And this
action is the more urgent today because-through it we can contribute
to alleviate the hardships of our
American people both during and
after this war,
However, as litstey insists, let
me first define my terms. For the
practical ',imposes of this discus-
sion, pure science research means
the search for fundamental natural
law. That is the search for truth.
That is a good exercise any time.
"
Practical Use"
Applied science research is the
application of such discoveries to
practical use. That is invention.
Pure science is thus the raw material of applied science.
For this discussion national industrial efficiency means producing
more goods and services per capita.
I do not want you to think that
I ton building a rigid wall between
pure and applied science. Their
purposes and borders are much
blended. I might mention another
distinction between them. There
are no big money-rewards to the
pure scientists. 'Sometimes they
get an obituary notice on the
fourth page inside.
-I am no one who believes that
the'swhole of civilization is founded
upon scientific discovery and the
inventions. I could complain of a
thousand economic and social ills
that hate eeme from the industrial
revolution, including the increased
capacity for mass-murder. But
because of this war I can also tell
you that unless we quickly have
more of this same discovery and
invention and a more efficient ap-
plication of what we already know
our standard of living and even our
civilisation will degenerate.
Increasing Armaments
First—Whatever the outcome of
these present wars, there is one
thing certain — we shall have to
divert a large segment of national
energy to armament for years to
come. That at once decreases the
output of articles for public consumption. Unless we can by some
parallel action increase our production of consumption goods, it
means an immediate reduction in
our standard of living. And there is
nothing that can so contribute to
make up that deficiency as new discovery in pure science and new inventions. From that source we can
get more labor-saving devices, and
better methods which increase production. We can get new materials
to substitute for those we have to
take from the people for munitions.
Nor do we need depend wholly
upon new discovery and new invention to increase our national
preductivitt, We can organize to
better appal, what we already know
—and that can produce immediate
results.
Enlarging Facilities
Second—There is another and
immediate purpose of enlarged research. The airplane has revolutionized warfare. It has made the
aggressor far more powerful. It
has made small nations helpless to
defend their liberties. It has made
the butchering of women and children a part of war. The world has
not yet found the defensive answer.
The airplane was born from the
science of physics. The answer
might come from there. And it
imperatively demands research and
more research—and at once. For
if that answer could come and
come quickly it 'would turn the
whole fsite of the world.
Bees Huge Debt
Third—Whatever the outcome of
this war one more thing is certain
—this whole world and our own
country will be greatly impoverish-
ed and smothered with debt. There
is only one certain road to rapid
recuperation. That is to increase
the technological power of -the nation.
It is increased productivity at
lower costs that the nation will

The invention of the steam engine did not appear in the headlines of a world then engaged in
the Napoleonic Wars. Yet it saved
the world from much of the impoverishment of those wars. History may yet record that the headlines of today should have been
devoted to the inventions around
the electron rather than war news.
Again It Needs Money—
And now I come again to the
question of men and money for
these explorations. I believe every
physical scientist in this country
today could name new paths, new
fields, that wait for the money
to mobilize men and equipment.
Many of their results may be sterile but somewhere something comes
—an improved instrument, a new
path opens and in the end an increase in the standard of living.
Someone will any that these
great discoveries of fundamental
law cannot be forced—that we
must wait for them. I do not contend you can go out and buy a
genius and have him produce every
morning, But I do nay that he
cannot perform without equipment and support.
Need Support
Nor do we have to wait for pure
science research to give birth to
new laws, new instruments, new
methods, new power, and new Labor-saving devices. In many directions we sorely need support for
research in the application of pure
science discoveries we already
know.
One of the greatest of our problems right now is to develop more
industrial raw materials which our
farmers can produce in substitution for their overproduction of
food, I doubt whether we are
spending five millions a year looking for them. And we are compelled to subsidize the farmer with
a billion a year and to regiment
him besides until we find some
such solution as this.
And in the realm of industry
there are further vast possibilities

plastics, or new sources mfd meth-

Other Consequences
We will spend 20 billions a year
on armament. We will pile most
of it up in national debt. If we
would invest I% of this in an insurance policy called research and
elimination of waste, we might
save some of the bankruptcy when
these wars die.
It is possible that the aggressive
superiority of the airplane in war
may be checked. And that becomes vital to the freedom of nations and to stop the massacre of
women and children.
And it is not beyond human imagination that the quiet, unobtrusive scientist and engineer in their
laboratories might make all nations self-contained in raw materials and their production of goods.
And what a holocaust that would
be for international quarrels and
international thinking—and for
much of the causes of war.
Some Social Consequences
And that brings me to another
phase. We have been told with
monotonous repetition by the collectivists and left-wingers that our
frontiers are gone. They say our
industrial plant is built. They
claim there is ne safety valve for
human energies. They assure us
that we have come to an age of
humdrum problems of under-consumption, over-production, and the
division of the existing pot. They
say that new opportunity for
youth has shrunken.
That is not so. There was never
in history a more glorious frontier
for youth than today. Adventure
and opportunity beckon in every
avenue of science. They beckon
from the great profession of men
trained to research. They beckon
from its thousands of applications.
From it spring tens of thousands
of new services and industries. In
them human courage, character,
and ability have an outlet that
never came even with the two-gun
frontiers. Just as the new villages followed the stockades of the
frontier, so do new cities follow
every new mastery of technology
and power.
And let those who lament the
loss of frontier life not forget the
adventures along every mile of
highway and even with the traffic
cop. That all emanated from the
discovery of the combustion engine.
Some Spiritual Consequences
But research can bring far more

doubt that actually three millions

Elimination of Waste
Nor to improve our national efficiency do we have to wait for
even these better applications of
science.
Under the pressures of emergency we can increase national efficiency through the elimination of
existing industrial waste of motion
and materials. That requires that
we remove every sorb of metric-

beauty, the ever-widening of the

the "inculcation of veracity of
thought" in a world sodden with
intellectual dishonesty. Here is the
harmonizing of the individual to

things to help pave and build a

Board Appoints Committee Student Extension
To Plan Engin Expansion Committee Plans
E.C.P.D. Accrediting
Discussed in Survey
Of Present Facilities
By JAMES N. ADnotvis
Basing its action on a recent teport on the facilities of the Engineering Department, the Board
of Managers voted at its meeting
May 16 to appoint a special committee to consider possible expansion of the Engineering Department, including the addition of
new equipment to HiIles Laboratory.
The survey of the department's
facilities was made in April by
Dr. H. P. Hammond, Dean of the
School of Engineering of the 'Pennsylvania State College. While Dr.
Hammond's report- represented
only "general observations based
upon a short visit," it did make
specific recommendations, a 71 d
pointed out present weaknesses in
the College's program.
Instruction Praised
Dr. Hammond is an ox-chairman
of the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, and his report included unofficial recommendations for accrediting by this
council. The report, however, did
not present arguments for or
against accrediting, which could
be obtained in four years at the
very earliest.
The quality of engineering instruction at Haverford was not
questionable, the report stated.
The content of the engineering
program was then analyzed by Dr.
Hammond, and divided into four
parts. The first essential, he stated, was a foundation in the physical sciences—physics, mathematics and chemistry. This portion of
the program was found to be "adequate" at the College.
Design Course Needed
The second division of subject
matter included the principles of
applied science— analytical mechanics, strength of materials, fluid
mechanics, electric circuits, thermodynamics and heat power.
These subjects were found to be
adequately treated in most cases.
The report did recommend, however, that all of these courses be
required for the engineering major, whether or not the College decides to apply for future accrediting by the Engineers' Council for
Professional Development.
The third aspect of engineering
education discussed by Dr. Hammond, and one in which the department was found lacking, was
provision for "the creative element
of engineering as represented by
design problems of fairly comprehensive nature." This has been
made a pre-requisite for accrediting by the E.C.P.D. A coherent sequence of courses in the humanities was the final division,
and Haverford's provision for this
was considered ample.
Additional Equipment
The E.C.P.D. makes no quantitative specifications relating to
laboratory equipment, but it is expected that apparatus in sufficient
number and variety will be provided to permit work in the basic
portions of the applied sciences
and professional courses of the
curriculum. The arrangement and
equipment of Hill. Laboratory
were praised, although certain
shortcomings were noted, such as
equipment for hydraulics and materials testing, and a steam tur-
bine with condenser. The reading
room was found to be slightly
lacking in bound volumes of periodicals and in- recent textbooks.
While Dr. Hammond did not
criticize the department for the
small number of majors in it, he
stated that the number of students in engineering could be doubled to good advantage. The purpose of increasing the number of
students in the field would be to
increase the department's income
and to provide "added stimulus."
Appropriation Requested
On the basis of Dr. Hammond'.
report, and also on its own investigations, the Engineering Department recommended to the Managers that certain steps be taken immediately. An appropriation of
$3,400 was asked for equipment, to
be spent as follows: hydraulics,
$500; steam turbine with condenser, $1,400; and shop and surveying equipment, $1,500. The money
was not appropriated at the May
16 meeting of the Board, but the
entire question was turned over to
the special committee.
An estimate of the cost of equipment probably needed for future
accrediting totaled $11,200 in addition to the sum for immediate
improvements. The estimate was
divided: hydraulics, additional $3,500; materials testing, $7,200; and
books, $600. This estimate cannot
be regarded as final, but represents approximately the increase
in capital investment necessary
f or accrediting.
Seniors Hear Address
By Ex-President Hoover
Conti.ed f rem Page I , Cot.
Drawing a distinction at the
outset between pure and applied
science, the former president stated that the scientific progress resulting from the latter depends
ultimately upon the original research in the realm of pure science.
And the need for advancement in
scientific and technological fields
and corresponding research is particularly pressing when a large
part of our national energy is being devoted to the production of
armaments.
Role of Colleges
"Our pure science research ie
dependent largely upon our universities and a few specially endowed institutions," the speaker
said. And reduced income from
endowments is resulting in curtailment of eseential research. Even
without this curtailment, the
amount expended for research
amounted to only about 5 per cent
of what we allow for cosmetics.
Frontiers of science lie before
the United States, the former
president, an engineer by profession, told the graduates. "We will
spend 20 billion a year on armament. We will pile most of it up
in the national debt. If we would
invest 1% of this in an insurance
policy called research and elimination of waste, we might save
some of the bankruptcy when
these wars die."

to several, of the Project members
to aid Him in their service work.
Spring gave the Project members a better opportunity to take
their community service outdoors.
Among other things, the members
set the Community Center playgrounds in order and helped repair
the Community House. The Project sawed into cord wood all the
tree trunks removed from the highway improvements on Lancaster
Pike and distributed them to needy
families.
Obtaining many necessary tools
for their community work with
money from the College appropriation, the project is well equipped
for most jobs, but the project members feel that a second-hand truck
is also needed.
