JANUARY • 1941

Dear Alumnus: The new year is a t ha nd a nd with it comes plans for the greatest year in our history- the one which ushers in our "Decade of Progress" culmina ting in a glorious centennial in 1950. The fir st mov e was m a d e Thursday night, J a nua ry 16, when the Associa te Boa rd of Lay Trustees met a nd approved pla ns for a nonprofit corpora twn to receive and administer endowment fund s for the University.

The ultimate objective of the corpora tion is the receiving and administering of fund s from a contempla ted endowment campaign. T erms of the proposed corporation provide for the issua nce of non-tra nsfera ble participating m e mb ership ce rtific a tes to every member of the endowment corpora tion who contributes $500 or its equivalent, while associa te member certifica tes will be given tho e who contribute under $500 or its equivalent. M embers of the endowment fund committee a re George Qua tman, Lima, chairman; Judge Edwin G. Becker, M a rtin Kuntz, Michael Gibbon s, Carroll A. Hochwalt a nd Lewis B. Rock. We' re on our way!

From every sta ndpoint, "University of D ayton Night," Friday, D ecember 27, on the Fred W a ring program was an outstanding event. A la rge' group of alumni a nd students home for the holidays was in a ttenda nce. (See front cover. ) The song itself is ideally adapted to instrumental or vocal rendition a nd was well received by the studio and radio audience. The entire program was recorded a nd played a t the student body assembly on J an uary 14.

The lyrics of the song follow : - 1A mid th e splendor of ou r hills and dells W e hail thee, Dayton U. As every w hisp ering pin e forever tells W e' re loyal, Red and Blue.

Beloved hilltop, proud and tru e We pledge ou r h earts an ew .

Be ever blest, 0 hom e wh ere nature dwells A ll hail thee, Day ton U.

- 2Co m e every loyal one and lift your song In praise of D ayton U. As o'er th e stately hilltop proud and stron g Th ere waves the Red and Bl"e .

Th e choirs of nature join th e hymn With w hisp erin g pin es like seraphim ; So swell the loving cho rus loud and long In praise of Dayton U.

M a urice R . R eicha rd, music head, has a nnounced tha t the a nthem will become a part of the repertoire of our various musical units.

Organization Work On New Conference Continued by News The U. D . News sports staff is completing preliminary steps in the formation of a new athletic conference. As a result of favorable comment to an editorial written by sports editor, H enry R echtien, a ppearing on the first page of the U. D . N ews and la ter appearing in the Alumnus, the News has decided to ta ke the gigantic job upon itself.

As sta ted in the editorial the task of forming the new conference is colossal. It will probably take anywhere from two to twelve months to form the new conference if it is organized a t all. H owever, the sports (Con tinued on page 4)

JUMOR PROM- The alumni of a ll classes a re cordia lly invited to a ttend the Junior Prom which will be held at L a keside Ballroom February 15.

BASKETBALL Although the vi c tory co lumn stands at but three wins against seven losses, a revival of U. D. basketball interest is surging through th r citizens of D ayton. This year's Flyer quintet is the fightingest, sha rpest Hilltop squad to bound over the hardwoods if!.. several years. H a ndicapped considerably by lack of height, the Flyers have overcome the ha ndica p by fight, agile ball-handling and smart basketball. No team, even the best, feels confident wh en caging off with the Red and Blue.

For instance, St. Joseph's College, with the same team as last year's, which played in the Kansas City tournament for the na tion al intercollegiate title, fell before the viciousness of the Flyers, 40-28. Xavier, boasting one of the best teams in the country, was lucky to come from behind in the closing minutes and nose out the Flyers, 37-35. Previous to this game the Musketeers were regarded as a 55-point- a-game team. Incidentally, no team in the country has passed up St. Joseph's since the Flyers did just that, except the U n iversity of Toledo.

The Flyers opened up the season with a listless 40-34 win over little Cedarville College. Wittenberg's superior height was perhaps a bit too much of a handicap for the Flyers in the second game which the Lutherans took, 55-46. However, the Hilltoppers were short on their free throws, also, and this fact contributed much to the defeat.

JACK BROWN TO ,, HEAD INTRAMURALS The intra mural program at U . D. has been still further expanded this year. The program now includes touch football , basketball, bowling, boxing, softball, archery, tennis, golf, ping-pong, billiards, a nd va rious minor indoor sports. Jack Brown '26, has replaced Lou Tschudi ' 34, as intramural director. New on the program this year are touch football and boxing. The best boxers entered in

St. Joseph's College was the next victim. Although the Pumas towered over the Flyers to give St. J oe's a n almost hopeless advantage, D ayton followed the ball with bloodhound tenacity a nd fought every minute of the game as the old Cadets used to do. The result, a 40-28 victory-a larger margin than Purdue was able to obtain over the St. Joe outfit but a week before.

staff of the U. D. N ews has decided to keep working for the conference until it is f~nctioning.

H eight spelled disaster to a threegame pre-Christmas holiday trip .

The Flyers on successive nights lost three games. In every con test their opponents towered over the small but scra ppy Hill toppers. The results were: Mount Union 56, D ayton 45; Ashla nd 60, D ayton 35 ; Youngstown 53, Dayton 40.

After the holidays the Flyers faced Ohio Wesleyan a t D elawa re. There the Flyers were complete masters of the situation throughout the game.

Coach Ca rter used but six men in the 42-36 victory. The foJlowing Sa turday evening saw the Hilltoppers sail past a reputedly big-time X avier team and hold the lead to the final minutes of the last half. Then the lead cha nged ha nds frequently, but the small Flyers just didn't have the adva ntage when the gun sounded.

Ohio University, paced by the great Fra nk Baumholtz, one of the best teams in Mid-Western basketball, proved too much for the locals, winning ha ndily, 62 to 41. The Flyers had the added disadvantage of playing without their coach. Jim Carter was in Indianapolis receiving the congra tulation s of. hi s friends on th e birth of a daughter that same evening, January 13.

Mrs. Carter and daughter are doing well. the Cincinnati Enquirer, the To;eclo Blade, the Cincinnati Times Sta r and the Akron Beacon Journal ran excerpts from the editorial a nd expressed their ap proval of the new conference. The D ayton papers and pa pers in other section affected by the editorial printed stories about the dem and made in the U. D. N ews for the conference.

Of course it is on ly na tural that quite a bit of the work being done must be kept secret so as not to be impaired by self-seeking interests. completed a nd recreational facilities a re vastly improved over wha t they formerly were. This improvement is la rgely responsible for the large intramural program, although a new field house is what is really needed for broadest intramural activity.

by E. H. O'Leary, Ph.D. Dept. of Economics and Business The year tha t ha just ended wa one of unprecedented business activity, with the peak of tha t activity coming a t the year' close. In D ecember, 1940, industrial output as measured by, the Federal R eserve Boa rd Index of Industria l Production, reached 136, a ga in of 12 points over production in December, 1939. From April, 1940, through December of that year, each succes ive month showed an increase in industrial production. During this period a ll previous records were exceeded for the production of iron, steel, mac hin e tools, e lec tri ca l eq uipm e nt, aluminum, cotton a nd rayon products, chemicals a nd electric output.

Exceptional activitie , too, were revealed in ship building a nd in the construction industry.

The boom of 1940 was evidenced, not alone in la rger output of physical goods, but in larger dolla r incomes to the people of the United Sta tes.

The monthly income to the nation, which totaled six and one-half billions of dolla rs, bought among other a rticles la rge quantities of consumptive goods, a disclosed by the sales in departmen t stores, purchase of new homes, a nd a utomobiles for pleasure purposes. The la rge advance orders received by the distributors of goods is another evidence of increased incomes. This activity in the sale of consumer goods may be responsible for the so-called " bogging down" in our rearma ment program.

SOURCE OF BUSINESS The in crease d in co m e of th e American people, which has made this bu siness activity possible, is derived from ( I ) purchase of wa r equipment by the British .in the United Sta tes, ( 2 ) the policy of this government to co-operate with Great Brita in short of war and the rea rmament of its own milita ry facilities, ( 3) expa nding purchasing power in the ha nds of consumers growing out of the activity stimulated by war and the prepa ra tion for Na tional D efense. This government has made appropria tions for defen 路e of more tha n seventeen billions of dollars, with expenditures proceeding at the

rate of 400 millions monthly. These sums will be increased as additional adjustments a re effected by industry for the production of war requirements.

PRICES In spite of the rapid expansion of bu siness in the last qua rter of 1940 a nd the la rge sums expended becau e of the defense progra m, limited increases have been reflected in prices.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics index for the measurement of wholesale prices shows them to have risen but three points to 80 per cent of the 1926 figures, which were placed at 100 per cent. This compares to 79.5 per cent last winter and 75 per cent in August, 1939. For some commodities, such as lumber a nd metals, more marked price rises are revealed. Generally speaking and contrary to expectations prices have remained very stable. This condition can be explained by ( I ) existence of idle plants and personnel available for expanding production, ( 2) accumulated stocks in the form of inventories adequate for enlarged demands, ( 3) devices exercised by the government in the form of controlled purchases a nd accumulated inventories to be used in event of price increases, ( 4) threatened government action to business in the event of unwarranted increases in prices, ( 5) the desire on the part of businessmen to mainta in a low price structure so long as conditions permit. Moderate price rises a re to be expected as the defense program increases in activity.

The stimula nt to possible price rises pr e vail s at pr ese nt in th e l a rg e a mount of idle purchasing power available through the commercial banking system. R ecent comments on this condition by Federal Reserve Bank officials may result in monetary adjustments which may minimize the significance of this condition .

EMPLOYMENT The impact of the defense program is re ponsible for increased employment in the United States. Between January and October of 1940 unemployment declined 2,500,000, until it now stands at 6,65 3,000. It is

5

expected thi figure will drop to 4,404,000 by June of 1941.

In 1932 there were I 0,959,000 unemployed in this country. At the present time, the chief requirement of industry is for skilled personnel, for in the past few years training of a ppren tices has been almost non-existent. Thi shortage is being met by the actual shifting of workers to the more essential industries a nd by simplifying the production task whenever possible. This enables semiskilled workers to complete a job with a minimum of training. Overemphasis on academic training a t the expense of vocational train ing in high schools i another factor in this present shortage of skilled workers.

The one blot on this otherwise bright picture of increased employment is tha t the majority of the unemployed have gained employment in industries catering to war and its needs. Thus unemployment figures in America will be low as long as war in Europe and our a rmament program continues, but the social evils a rising from unemployment are only tempora rily solved .

SECURITY MARKETS Increased production h as not caused the security m arket to respond as expected. Production as measured by the Federal R eserve Board Index of Production has increased from an a nnual average of 88 in 1938 to 136 in December, 1940, a gain of more tha n 66 per cent.

However, the stock m a rket closed the year no higher than the average for 1938. This condition indicates that conserva tive investors have concluded tha t high labor costs a nd heavy tax assessments will make this a profitless prosperity. It indicates further the existence of uncertainty with regard to the outcome of the war and the condition of the world after it is ended. This post-war condition, it i believed, will result in social maladjustments and large debts which could impose too heavy a burden on the holders of ecurities.

1940 MEMBERSHIP SHOWS INCREASE NEW YORK About fifty of the alumni a nd students of the Uqiversity of D ayton turn ed out for the Fred W a rin g bmadcast of D ecember 27 , 1940.

Everything went off in exempla rl y ma nner. Mr. W aring, and I believe lik e wi se th e s tud e nt s, were well pleased with the program in general.

H e entertained after the broadcast with a priva te program for one hour in the theatre for the benefit of our crowd. At the close, he was introduced to the representatives of the University. Mr. Waring expressed his gra titude for being offered the opportunity to write a new song for the University and hoped tha t we all liked it. Of course, like any new piece of music, one can not a pprecia te the full value upon the first rendition.

Most of the people pre ent thought it was ideal.

The Alumni Cha pter of New York wishes to ex tend thanks to those tha t ma nipula ted the program from Ohio.

Mr. C a rola n, our President, and the rest, thought tha t it wa a n excellent idea a ll the way a round. The only disappointment we had concerning the idea, was tha t it came upon us so quickl y tha t we were unable to organize a nything worthwhile upon such short notice. W e feel tha t a lot of organization m a terial went by the wayside. It was a golden opportunity with which we could h ave realized la rge dividends.

We intend to a rra nge a m eeting within the next SLX weeks a nd our outlook is a little more optimistic for the coming year of 194 1.

OLD GRAD WRITESD ear Sir : I received the Alumnus magazine which was addressed to Edwa rd Romer, St. H enry, Ohio. H e is my brother and now lives a t Norwood, Ohio--4335 Floral Avenue- and is vice-president a nd credit ma nager of the Fifth-Third Union Trust Company in Cincinna ti. I was a studen t a t St. M a ry's In titute during the years 1881-1882-1883. I have always lived in St. H enry, a m now 73 years of age a nd a m president of the St. H enry Ba nk.

I have been with the bank since its inception in 1906 ; as cashier to 191 3, then president. For the past 37 years I h ave been secreta ry of the St. H enry Building and Loan Association, which I believe, is the longest tenure of any B. & L. cashier in the sta te, and have a record of on ly one foreclosure in all this time a nd never had a hold-up for withdrawals. We paid out a nd received deposits during the depression a nd never had to hold a nybody off for withdrawal of fund s during a ll tha t time a nd no person ever lost a dolla r as depositor or stockholder. We m ade no extra assessments during the bank holiday and we were the last to close in M ercer County and the first to open up without criticism of the Banking Department. As you notice from the l e tte ~::hea d , a ll Romers run the ba nk.

E. A. Romer is my sister and L eo E. Romer -is my son.

Yours very truly, Willia m H. Romer

The accompa nying listing includes the na mes of a ll a lumni who have con tribut ed to th e 1940 Alumni Fund . Those who submitted more tha n the established annual dues of $4.00 have their contributions indicated opposite their names. The number contributing, as well as the dolla r volume for the year, was considerably la rger tha n for the past several years. However, by the same token, expenses for the associa tion were proportionately higher in consideration tha t 1940 saw the esta blishmen t of a full-time secreta ry a nd the publishing of the monthly magazine.

While the increased income is gra tifying in ma ny respects and augurs well for a more stable future, it did not begin to pay the actual expense involved in opera ting the alumni office. This defi cit was generously absorbed by the University with the hope tha t during the coming year receipts will greatly improve a nd warrant the continuance of the magazine a nd the other activities of the alumni offi ce.

Tha t there is a kindl y a ttachment to Alma M a ter on the pa rt of a strong minority is evidenced by the la rge number of alumni who contributed more tha n the specified dues of $4.00 per year. Still other alumni dona ted sums of money to specific departments of the University. To spread the spirit of this minority a mong the bulk of the membership during the coming year is the a im of the alumni administra tion.

Dues for 194 1 a re now payable.

M embership cards for the new year will be mailed immedia tely upon receipt of your con tribution .

P. S. I mention these things thinking perha ps some of you might be in terested in what some of your old students have been doing a ll these years. I am present every day a t . work ; keep the general books ; look after loans and other business and am general adviser. Wishing you a Merry Christmas a nd a H a ppy New Year.

a nd in c r ease d e mph as i s b y th e U nited Sta tes on rearmament should cause the na tional income to exceed a ll previous records and may average 85 billion dolla rs for the year 1941. The Federal R eserve Index of Production will probably ta per ofT the last six months of 194 1 because of increased emph asis upon the production of war goods such as shi p building, guris, munitions, machine tools and airpla nes. Some of these items a re given little or no importa nce in the F ederal R eserve cha rt a nd would thus cause a lowering of the index figure. This decline should be a healthy sign, as it will indicate a t least pa rtial a tta inment of America's goal towa rd complete rearmam e nt.
