Accounts and Publicity.
H
ERE at Stevens as at all other colleges there are numerous
organizations, large and small, which raise and expend money for carrying on the various student enterprises. I n some cases, as in the Athletic Association, the books of account are open to the inspection of the Faculty Committee on Athletics, while in the class organizations the books are generally examined by an auditing committee. In other cases the accounts are balanced at the end of the year, read at an annual meeting, and ' published in THESTUTE,while in a few instances the accounts are seen only by those who keep the books. Now, considering that every man who has charge of any of this money is strictly honest, are the present methods even then the best to pursue? One may be conscientious and honest and yet, by relying too much on memory, by neglecting to keep the books up-to-date or through ignorance of business methods, one's books may show an altogether wrong statement. In the case of' a dishonest treasurer there is almost an unlimited field for petty mistakes." I n looking over the annual financial state, ments of such societies as publish them, there is seldom, if ever, sufficientdata at hand to test their accuracy, while in the case of the organizations that make no announcement of the distribution of funds, there are opportunities for grave errors. . I t has been rumored more than once that crooked business was being carried on, but whether these accusations were correct or not, it is not the purpose of this article to discuss; enough that the chance for misusing student funds exists with little or no opportunity for detection. The undergraduates of Stevens as a class do not come from wealthy families, in fact a large number are privileged to attend college only through the hard work and self denial of their parents. I t is therefore all the more important that whatever money is raised be expended to the best advantage, and that the subscriber or contributor know exactly where his money has . gone to. As a suggestion to remedy this condition, would it not be feasible to have a student cabinet, or general auditing committee, composed say of four Seniors, two Juniors, one Sophomore and one Freshman, elected by the classes? This committee should have the power to call for and examine account books and see that all money is properly accounted for. Such a committee would have open to its inspection the books of THESTUTE Board, the Link Board, the Musical Clubs, the different class 6

organizations, the Y. M. C. A., the athletic clubs, the Engineering Society, and others. Thus with the power of examining the treasurers' accounts at any time during the year vested in a board elected by the classes, books would be more apt to be kept up-todate and any irregularities would be less likely to escape detection. The students have a perfect right to demand straight business and open account books.

Lacrosse. STEVENS-Ăƒâ€˜C C. N. Y. GAME. On Saturday March 31. the Stevens Lacrosse Team lined up against the City College of New York Team, for the first game of the season. I t was not a very satisfactory game,for a cold damp wind was blowing which chilled the bodies and put a damper on the spirits of both players and spectators. Our defense was to be pitied-it was cold work standing in running pants and jersey, watching the progress of the game. Then the field was bad, too,-it was soft and rough; very often the player found he had a stick full of earth instead of the ball. During the first half the team made a fair showing, considering the little practice it had had. The attack got in some fast work, displaying skillful stick handling and well conducted team work; but the ease with which the goals were made, was in a large measure, due to the deadness" of the opposing team. The scoring was done almost entirely in the first half, the second half being spent in an exhibition of field hockey and wrestling matches. Murray and Hewett faced off at 3:30, but hardly had any one realized the game was on when Murray shot a goal. Another thirty seconds elapsed, and Murray had two eoals to his credit. Gayley added a goal in less than a minute, making the score 3-0 in less than three minutes of play. C. C. N. Y. now seemed to awake and soon carried the ball into our territory. They succeeded in eluding our defense, but Sturken stopped the shot for goal. The ball was brought back, and although the C, C. N. Y. goal intercepted a shot by Murray, Wiley shoved the ball in. The goal managed to stop several shots in succession, and it was several minutes before we scored again, when Davis shoved the ball in after a blocked shot. C. C. N. Y. now determined to do something, but every time they got possession of the ball they were overwhelmed. However, they were able to prevent our team from scoring until after 12 minutes of play had elapsed, when Davis shuffled in the ball after a scrimmage in front of the goal. Again Davis shot, bringing the score to 7-0. On the face-off, C. C. N. Y.took the ball and had another try for goal, but Sturken saved the score. Murray got the ball on the toss out from Sturken, and runling down the field through the whole C. C. N. Y. defense, shot the eighth goal. Davis made thelast goal of the first half, being quick enough to see his chance to shove the ball in from the center of a scrimmage. The second half was a farce. The ball was carried up and down the field with no result on either side. The teams indulged in field hockey and wrestling matches most of the time. There were only two shots for goal made during the half. .One was by

CRESCENT-STEVENS GAME. Who ever has once seen a game at the Athletic Club always wishes to go back again, for there is an ideal place for lacrosse. The fine green lawn and terraces, the handsome club house, and attractive boathouses on the bay combine in making it a charming spot. These surroundings and the enthusiastic crowd that is always present awaken the love of athletics in everybody's heart and inspire the contesting teams to do their best. There was a good crowd down for the game on Saturday, April 7, with plenty of rooters for our team. I t was the opening of the season at Bay Ridge, too cool for lacrosse, but such a beautiful day that every one was glad to be out. The game as a whole was interesting and at times very exciting. Daring the first half the Crescents held themselves in reserve, making their goal impregnable, but not pushing their attack to exert its full strength. But in the second half they worked for all they were worth, and it was ony through the excellent work of our defense that the score was not much larger. The final score 5-1 is not a true comparison of the work done by the teams. The result of the contest depended upon the goals. Sturken and Allen fouglit for the victory-Sturken lost, but not without honor, for he was opposed by a great goal, one whose equal cannot be found either in Canada or in the States. Our defense deserves more commendation than our attack. It kept the Bay Ridge Team from scoring until the last minute of play in the first half and allowed only four goals in the second half. Our attack could not get in close enough to make the shots tell. The whistle blew at 4:25, and the game was on. The ball was carried rapidly up and down the field, but i t was not until a half minute before time was called that either pored. Both teams showed good form and put forth
.
fast, snappy work. The ball would be carried down by one attack only to be captured by the opposing defense and sent back to the other end. The Stevens attack made more shots for goal than their opponents, but the Crescent defense bunched close around the goal and never permitted a score. Wall scored first when, at the end of the half, he managed to get the ball inside our defense and send it into the net. Both teams started the second half with the intention of < I making things hum." The Crescent attack went to work with a vim, and in one minute, Wall made the second goal. After tlie face off, several shots for goal were made in quick succession, but Sturken intercepted them. Now the ball went into the Crescent territoryĂƒâ€˜Gayley Roberts, and Davis each shot for the goal, and Davis scored on a short quick shot, the only kind Allen ever misses. From now on, the game was very excitingboth teams played at top speed. Shot after shot was made by both sides, and it was only through the remarkable work of Allen that the Crescents won out. The Bay Ridge defense formed a wall around their goal which could not be broken down. Our defense also did splendid work, Hamilton and Sturken showing up particularly well, but the skill and speed of the opposing team was too much for them. Kennedy made two goals and O'Rourk added another, making the final score 5-1. The line up: CRESCBNT

On the afternoon of March 28th, President Humphreys delivered the first of a series of two lectures on Gas " before the Engineering Society. He sketched a brief history of gas development from the time of its introduction as an illun~inantby Murdock, a hundred years ago, to the present time, The process of making both coal and water gas was described in a general way, and the apparatus used in the manufacture and distribution was touched upon. The point was brought out that coal and water gas could be more economically manufactured in conjunction than separately. President Humphreys pointed out that the difference between the gas measured by the station meter and that measured by the consumer's meter did not give the true leakage, and. showed also the importance of taking the candle power as a check on the oil. The lecture was fully illustrated by lantern slides, and although the time taken was exceptionally short for such an extensive subject, an excellent general idea was obtained. Those who attended Prof. Langmuir's lecture on Wednesday, April 4th, were enabled to gain some insight into the electron theory which was advanced only a few years ago. Dr. Langmuir took for his topic Electric Currents, What They Are and What They Do." According to the electron theory, he said bodies are composed of atoms, which in turn are made up of positive and negative electrons. A negative electron weighs about

one two-thousandth as much as a hydrogen atom and revolves about a central positive electron at the rate of 100,000 miles per second. A Crooks tube with a very high vacuum and other tubes were exhibited, and their phenomena explained. Two experiments were made to show currents flowing in electrolytes, one composed of pure water and acetic acid, and the other of potassium nitrate and potassium permanganate. I n the latter case the current decomposed the potassium permanganate into its positive and negative parts. The lecture proved highly interesting. At a meeting of the Society on April 3d, Mr. Jewett, '06, spoke of the various industries centered at Sault Saint Marie, Mich,

C. N. Y. GAME. The Baseball Team opened the season on Friday, April 6th, at Ontario Field, New York, defeating C. C. N. Y., 19 to 2. The New Yorkers were so completely outclassed that the game was too one-sided to be interesting. Utz pitched a remarkable game for Stevens. Although a trifle wild at times, he allowed his opponents but o r e hit and retired 11 on strikes. On the other hand, Marks, the C. C. N. Y. twirler, received a terrific drubbing, no less than 22 safe hits being recorded against him. Stewart and McCarthy led in this respect with four hits apiece. Both teams fielded well. Stevens scored four runs in the first inning by good batting. Then Marks steadied down and h d d them in check. In the fourth, however, three more were tallied, and from then on there was a continuous procession around the bases. C. C. N. Y. got a man across the plate in the first inning on a base on balls and a passed ball. The other run came in the eighth as a result of their lone hit and infield errors. The score by innings : R.

Correspondence. To the Editor of The Stute: DEAR SIR :-Since the last issue of THESTUTE the committee on the Honor System for the Senior Class has made quite some progress. Last Thursday, the committee formulated an outline for the Honor System as it will probably be presented to the Senior Class. The class was canvassed and all who were in favor of the Honor System and desired its adoption in the Senior Examinations of the class of 1906, signed the paper. Heretofore, the system had been discussed only in the abstract ; this outline was concrete and tangible. I t explained just what the System was and what it meant. The result was that every man had a chance to decide on the different points and at the same time let the committee know just what was wanted. The class divided itself into four parties. The first, those in favor of all the points as outlined; the second, those who wanted an Honor System but objected to reporting any cheating they might see ; the third party, composed of men criticizing the outline, or the method of its adoption, because of minor details of the system or some personal reason of their own In this class are included, some who for no apparent reason, were skeptical about signing their names to any thing. The fourth party con prised those who objected out and out to the Honor System. The committee will appeal to the first party, which consists of over half the class who signed the outline, to lend its support" in putting this system through. I t would like to ask those the second party, (those who object to reporting cheating), put aside any sentiments on the subject and look at the sit

arely. The chance of a man cheating in the room is almost of thequestion. Suppose, for example, aman wanted to cheat. will realize that every man in the examination must .give Ms that he has neither given nor received help. Would any otre give him help, knowing that he must sign a pledge at the end of the examination swearing that he has not given any help ? Though there are chances that a man will break his own oath to get help, the chances are very slim that one would break his word to help another dishonest man. Knowing this, the prospective cheat will depend on himself alone and have some prearranged plan for cheating. This takes the cheat out of the class of the man who falls in the hour of temptation and classes him as a man who calmly premeditated breaking his oath regardless of the honor and responsibility of the class.* Does any one's objection, to reporting a man to the Student Board, hold for this type of
If the Honor System is adopted here, it means that the President and Faculty of Stevens surrender to the student body their entire responsibility for the honesty of the Senior Examinations on the outcome of which they will award diplomas. If the students want the Faculty to give them this system, they must be willing to assume the responsibility for the honesty of the examination and guarantee the honesty of the members of the class, as , a class and as individuals. Without some way to guard the honesty of the individual, it is not possible to guarantee the honesty of the class. There must be some authority at the head of every system and some way of holding each man under that authority. To the third party, those who declined to sign for some personal reason or who objected to some minor point or detail of the system, the appeal is that they should stand by any system which has the spirit and the objects of the Honor System instead of dickering over the wording or the details of the system. Should the Honor System ever get into Stevens its effects would be seen in college activities; due to the spirit of honor of one man to another and not to the wording of any agreement. Of the fourth class, those not favoring an Honor System in any shape or form, the question is, have they considered whether or not such a system, although perhaps a disadvantage to them personally, would not be an advantage to the college ? And if it would, have they any right to stand in its way ? COMMITTEE.

To the Editor of The Stute: DEAR SIR :-In your last issue appeared a letter, favoring the addition to the tuition fee of a sum equal to the annual dues of the Athletic Association, and thus making membership compulsory. I do not believe this to be a good plan. The necessary expenses of attendance at Stevens are heavy enough now and --
T h e experience of the system at Princeton University shows no case where one man helped another, the cases having all been instances of individual cheating.

should not be increased without careful consideration. At present all wQo can afford it and have any college spirit are members of the Association. According to the report of the Treasurer of the A. A. $891.OO was received last year from dues, showing- a membership of 297. As to its increasing an interest in athletics, I fail to see it. An athletic field is provided by the Institute and all students have equal privileges of its use. Positions on all teams are open to the students of the four classes whether they are members of the A. A., or not. If the plan is adopted it might bring about an increased attendance at the games, "because father foots the bill," but that same cause would also effect an opposite result of even greater weight. If a fellow pays out three good dollars to become a member of the Athletic Association, he will take an interest in its affairs, while on the other hand, if the membership is merely a part of his tuition, and he neither pays his cash nor signs an order, he is apt to regard his membership as a matter of course and take no direct personal interest in the Association. B. "The Link" failed to appear this week. Some of the Fraternities' inserts were not printed properly, so the book will be delayed until new engravings can be made. This delay is not the fault of the editors or the printer but is caused by the carelessness of the engraver.
Faculty and Institute Notes. There have been several generous responses to President Humphreys' appeal for funds to meet the deficit incurred in completing the Morton Laboratory. The Electrical Department has been presented with a 3 h. p., 60 cycle, single phase Wagner motor, the gift of Mr. Herbert A. Wagner, '87. This is a most welcome addition to the equipment as there is none of this type of machines in the Institute.

Professor Ganz is hard at work on the program for the Commencement Exercises. As at present planned, the Alumni-Varsity Lacrosse Game will take place on Tuesday afternoon of Conlmencement Week, the Faculty-Senior Baseball Game on Thursday afternoon, and the Junior Reception on Thursday evening. With the completion of the first floor last week the Morton Laboratory is practically finished. The dedication will take place during Commencement Week with appropriate exercises. One of the features of the program will be the placing of a bronze tablet in memory of Dr. Morton in the corner stone.

Hearst, took the opposing side. In reply to his paper on Commercial Investigation and Test in Connection with College Work," delivered last December before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Prof. Jacobus has received numerous letters from pro- . minent engineers which further enlarge on the subject. These letters will be published in the next issue of the Indicator. ^.^y ,, President Humphreys is making efforts to interest the Presidents of the leading colleges in a proposition to have orange officially recognized as the color to be worn upon the gowns of engineering graduates. A commission appointed in 1894 to standardize colors for the various degrees, decided upon lemon for scientific courses. The Institute, however, thinking it advisable to have a distinctive color, has, since 1904, been usi orange. The Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education has recently, recommended that orange be officially chosen, and it is on the strength of this that President Humphreys has brought up the matter. -

A mysterious looking monster has already appeared in the lecture room of the Carnegie Lab. and the members of the committee have orders to report for work every Saturday morning. Several members of the class of 1904 are planning to attend and thus make the affair a sort of a dance reunion. If this plan is successful, 1904 will have started a custom beneficial to both undergraduates and alumni.
