Line Problems Face Football CoachesEarly Season Practice at Old Orchard—“Cuddy” Murphy New Line

Coach—Results of First Two Games.

Two sessions a day at Old Orchard for the two weeks placed the squad in mid-season form. The result was shown in the Connecticut Aggies game.

A 200-pound line candidate for the varsity football team would receive an ovation on Alumni Field this sea­son. Perhaps never in recent years have so few big men put in appear­ance. Campbell, a last year’s fresh­man playing on the varsity this year for the first time, is the only man in the squad who has been able to boast of tipping the scales at 200. Right now he is considerably reduced below that weight too.

The preliminary training of the team amounted to something this year, for Graduate Manager “Hamp” Bryant’s Old Orchard hotel, the Mont­real House, was kept open after the regular session and used as headquar­ters for the early practice. Labor Day the advance guard reached the beach and by the end of the week a squad of 25 likely candidates were on the job.

Assisting Head Coach Fred Brice is “Cuddy” Murphy, former Hebron and Dartmouth 220-lb. lineman. Mur­phy is needed too, for the forward defense is the real problem facing the coaches in developing a team to ad­minister a licking to Bowdoin this year. Captain Lunge at left tackle and Lord at center are the only vet­erans to fill in the gaps from tackle#

to tackle. Reardon and Dwelley of last year’s team are gone, the former transferring to New Hampshire and the latter leaving school. Capt. Young, Strout, Mulvaney and Fred Jordan graduated last June. McKechnie, reg­ular end last year, has returned and is in fine condition. Elliott, a sub­stitute last year, with Taylor are proving to be a pair of good ends also. A lack of heavy and experienced line material to support the players men­tioned is worrying the coaches al­ready. Should injuries incapacitate any of the regulars even the heroic work of Line Coach Murphy would hardly provide m a ter i a l to gaps. \

Back of the line the prospects are more encouraging. Henry Small and Jim Blair are covering the halfback positions again and George Gruhn’s 190 pounds is proving an asset in ploughing thru the line. This trio with Merritt at quarterback, an en­tire veteran combination, is presenting a truly powerful offense. Brice’s over­head game is proving meat for them. What Maine may lack in her forward line she makes up in her backfield. Yet the backfield could give a better account of itself if the line were more of the stonewall variety.

Maine 14—Conn. Aggies 0Connecticut Aggies furnished just

the right sort of competition on Alumni Field, September 23, when the varsity got its first taste of action. The visitors were neither too soft nor too rugged. They outweighed our eleven but lacked the offensive punch which the Bricemen used. Maine stuck to straight football, plugging' the line and sending Small around left end for some long gains. The first touchdown was secured by Small in the second period after a 25-yard

2 T H E M A I N E A L U M N U S October, 19 22

dash. In the fourth period Small got away for 28 yards and Gruhn shot thru center, clearing the line and scor­ing untackled. Small kicked both goals from placement. Capt. Lunge and Fraser, the latter a promising freshman, shone in the line play.

Vermont 7—Maine 0

Vermont played its first game Sep­tember 30 on Alumni Field and ac­cording to prediction presented one of the strongest teams ever to represent the Green Mountain State college. Beck, the all-southern halfback star lately transferred to Vermont, was a team by himself. His 80-yard run on the kickoff in the third period was as spectacular a dash as any ever made on Alumni Field. Without Beck Ver­mont would have had to show a dif­ferent brand of attack.

The Vermont boys were big, power­ful, rangy chaps, outweighing our rush line at least 10 pounds to a man. A weakness in the Maine line was found and three times was our goal saved only by a determined stand in the shadow of the goal posts. The whistle at the end of the second period prevented another touchdown.

Although Maine was outplayed, there is much encouragement to be found in the fact that a light inex­perienced line could hold so well in the last ditch. Maine’s offense worked well too. Three or four forward passes were uncorked which were beautifully executed. Quarterback Merritt made 30 yards on one and was tackled on Vermont’s 9-yard line. Lunge and Blair did some heroic work in the secondary defence. Vermont’s score resulted from Beck’s sensational run in the third period and a plunge off tackle by Driscoll. Warm, almost sultry weather, made the day ideal for the spectators but a torture for the players.

Twentieth Maine Night October Twenty Seven

Maine Night to be held October 27this year, the eve of the Colby game,will mark the twentieth gatheringof the undergraduates, alumni andfriends of Maine to do honor to AlmaMater. As usual the gymnasium willhouse the gathering. While footballwill be a principal topic of the eve­ning, an attempt will be made this year to bring home to all the cher­ished ideals which have permeated every student and alumni activity. The achievements of Maine will re­ceive grateful recognition. Congress­man Ira G. Hersey, Governor Baxter, and Dr. Abram W. Harris, past presi­dent of the college, are among the leading speakers invited to be the guests of the University. Reserved seats will be held for all returning alumni.

Murphy of Dartmouth New Year Round Coach

Joseph T. Murphy, familiarly known as “Cuddy,” the only Dartmouth three-letter man in the history of athletics, has been engaged as assist­ant coach in all sports. His connec­tion with Maine athletics was to have

4

been of short duration, as originally he was hired as football line coach with his duties terminating after the Dartmouth game in order that he might report at Dayton, Ohio, to playprofessional football. His preliminary work with the line candidates at Old Orchard convinced the athletic au­thorities that he was too valuable a coach to lose. Accordingly, a suitable financial arrangement was made just before the Vermont game, and for the remainder of the football season he will continue the work so well begun, and in the winter assist in basketball and in the spring specialize with the weight men and assist in baseball if needed.

Murphy like Head Coach Fred Brice claims Manchester, N. H., as his home. Before entering college he was well known at Hebron, where he played football. He entered Dart­mouth from Keewatin Academy of Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin, as a member of the class of 1920. Need­less to say he played on the freshman team and starred with the varsity in 1917 and 1919 at right tackle. In the spring of 1919 he was first string pitcher on the baseball team and a sure point winner in the track meets. That year he won the hammer throw and shot put in the Comell-Dart- mouth-Pennsylvania triangular meet and took second in the hammer in the big intercollegiates.

Leaving Dartmouth in the spring of 1920 he joined the pitching staff of the Boston Red Sox. He was later sold to Toronto and then traded to Syracuse. In the fall of 1920 he coached football at the Colorado School of Mines. Early in 1921 he went with the Albany Felt Co. as ath­letic director. The past summer he pitched semi-professional baseball with the Fairbanks A. A. team of St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

His professional football playing has been with Jim Thorpe’s Canton (Ohio) Bull Dogs in 1920 and with the Cleveland All Americans in 1921.

Death of SouthardShocks Alumni Body

As the ALUMNUS goes to press the news of the sudden death of Louis C. Southard ’75, September 29, at the Elliot Hospital, Back Bay, Boston, reaches the campus. The Monday previous to his death he was in his office at 601 Tremont Building, Bos­ton, as usual. The day following he telephoned that he was not feeling well, asking his secretary to make a business appointment for Wednesday. Late Tuesday his condition became serious and he was rushed to the hos­pital. He was operated upon for appendicitis and did not rally, the end coming at noon, Friday the 29th.

Funeral services were held at his residence, 21 Francis Street, Brook­line, Mass., at 2 P. M., Monday, Octo­ber 2.

Mr. Southard was born in Portland, Maine, April 1, 1854, the son of Wil­liam Lewis and Lydia Carver (Den­nis) Southard. He entered Maine in the fall of 1871 and although not graduating with his class was award­ed the degree of B. S. in 1894 as of the class of 1875. Previous to that he was granted in 1892 his M. S. and in 1904 received the honorary degree of LL. D., all from the University of Maine.

After leaving Maine he studied law at the Boston University Law School and with Clarence Hale of Portland, now Federal Judge. He was admitted to the bar in 1877. Opening an office in North Easton, Mass., he actively engaged in practice, later and up to the time of his death practicing in Boston as a member of the law firm of Southard, Gray, and O’Connell. He was admitted to practice in the United States circuit court in 1887 and in the United States supreme court in 1889. He was a member of the Massachu­setts house of representatives during 1886-87, and of the state senate dur­ing 1895-96. In the latter body he was chairman of bills in third read­ing; chairman of the committee on manufactures, and a member of the judiciary and other important com­mittees. In 1897 he was appointed a lecturer at the College of Law of the University of Maine, serving until the closing of the school in 1921,

His business connections have been with the International Purchasing Company as general counsel and di­rector and since 1912 as treasurer and general manager; as president of the State Wharf and Storage Co., director and treasurer of the Hudson Tannery Co., and as trustee of the Dorchester Savings Bank.

He has been president of the Amer­ican Invalid Aid Society; chairman of the committee on foreign trade, Bos­ton Chamber of Commerce; and a

T H E M A I N E A L U M N U S

L ou is C. Southard '75

member of the Society of War of 1812, and of the Twentieth Century, Puddingstone, University, Common­wealth, Country and Boston City Clubs, Boston. He was a 32-degree Mason and a member of the Phi Gam­ma Delta fraternity.

He was a founder of the Boston Alumni Association of the University of Maine, serving as its first presi­dent; from 1901-03 president of the General Alumni Association of the University; for years a member of the Alumni Council and since 1919 chair­man of the Executive Committee of the Council.

June 1, 1881, he was married at Easton, Mass., to Nellie Copeland. He is survived by his wife, their three sons, Louis T., Frederick D. and Law­rence, and by a sister, Mrs. W. B. French of Winchester, Mass., and an older brother, Dr. W. F. Southard of San Francisco, Cal.

Summer School Session High Water Attendance

The twenty-second session of the summer term of the University of Maine closed Friday, August 4. The total registration was 300, which is considerably in excess of any previous registration. Fifty-six of the students held collegiate degrees and a large majority of the remainder were under­graduate students from 33 different colleges and universities. Three de­partments which were introduced this year—biology, commercial branches, and physical training—enrolled a fair number of students. The work incommercial branches was conducted

•

by Mr. Rufus Stickney of the Arling­ton, Mass., High School. In connec­tion with the biology courses an elab­orate program of subjects relating to public health was featured. Lectures were given by members of the depart­ment and by such specialists as Dr. A. G. Young, Dr. C. F. Kendall, Dr. F. C. Tyson, Dr. F. Welch, Dr. G. H. Coombs, Surgeon W. F. Draper, and Mr. Thurber and Miss Soule of the State Health Department. Every morning at ten o’clock a fifteen-minute assembly was held in the chapel, where a brief religious exercise was followed by an address from a mem­ber of the faculty or a selection of instrumental or vocal music. The most noteworthy literary performance of the session was the reading of the play “Romance” by Miss Grace Sage, of the Leland Powers School, Boston. On Friday evenings were held liter­ary, dramatic, and musical entertain­ments which were followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Excursions to Castine, Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake, and other resorts were arranged for the week-ends. Mr. J. W. Taylor, of the State Department of Education, fulfilled his duties as lecturer in edu­cation by giving a series of addresses to students in this department. These were highly appreciated by the stu­dents. The maturity and earnestness of purpose of the great majority of the students brought about a grade of class-room work of a very high order. President Little, who gave a most helpful address to the students in chapel, expressed great interest in this department of the University and has already in mind a number of plans for its future improvement and growth,

I Editorial ILouis C. The University, the Southard General Alumni As­

sociation, and a host of friends mourn the loss of the late Louis C. Southard. By his sudden death, Friday, Septem­ber 29, the most loyal alumni worker for the good of the Uni­versity and her allied interests was deprived of ever completing the tasks to which he had set his hand. Plans for a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Council, of which he was chairman, occupied his at­tention the day before his sud­den illness necessitated his re­moval to the hospital.

His loyalty to his Alma Mater knew no bounds. His services as a lecturer, in the College of Law, in promoting athletics at the University and in represent­ing these interests at many a New England athletic confer­ence, in organizing the Boston Alumni Association, in serving the General Alumni Association at one time as its president, and in recent years as the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Council, together with the host of more personal services to any and all who ever attended the University, can never be equalled.

Naturally forceful, energetic and possessed of strong execu­tive ability, he was recognized as one of the most brilliant,

aggressive and successful law­yers in Boston. To his Univer­sity interests he applied his whole energy and ability. His associations in recent years proved that he had retained that youthful trait of enthusiasm; no task affecting the University or the Alumni Association was too petty or trivial to demand and exact that loving devotion which marked his entire life’s work. Many an undergraduate and young alumnus was be­friended by him; from him all received inspiration. His friends were many and to them he was loyal and ever helpful. Upon the walls of his office in the Tre- mont Building, Boston, were souvenirs and treasures in mute evidence of his loyalty and in­terest in Maine. On his desk always was a pile of correspond­ence relating to the University and alumni activities; in his heart always was the love for his Alma Mater. His place in the councils of the Alumni Asso­ciation can never be filled, his place in the hearts of his friends will never be vacated. His life was an inspiration, an example of rare devotion and cordial good fellowship. He is gone but never forgotten.

The We often refer to theAverage “ average ” alumnus. Alumnus What type of indi­

vidual do we mean? How old is he? What station in life does he occupy? Numer­ically speaking there is an an­swer to these questions. At least half of the graduates of the University have passed from the academic halls on the Stillwater strand since 1911. Eighty per cent of the alumni are in classes graduated since 1900. Surely the “average” alumnus is a product of the Twentieth Cen­tury. If we assume that the “average” alumnus is between

the ages of 30 and 44 we at once throw considerable light upon the point of view which prompts his various actions and reac­tions. If we direct a BOOSTER campaign circular at the young average alumnus we probably find that the exacting financial requirements of raising a young family, buying a home, or financ­ing the automobile make a post­ponement of the dues paying in­evitable. Being a young aver­age alumnus too he cannot yet understand why the varsity football and track teams of his time are not duplicated on the campus today. He is the prod­uct of the “flush” times of the University. He measures the present in terms of the events of 1910 to 1915. He often finds the comparison disheartening.

The older average alumnus has reached the years of at least partial financial security. The dues paying ordeal is ingrained, expected, and satisfied without the mental turmoil of the younger alumnus. Being an older average alumnus he can appreciate that there must come ups and downs in athletics as well as in the financial fortunes of institutions and human be­ings. Measuring the present in terms of 1900 to 1910 he finds the comparison agreeable. He notes that the student body has doubled and trebled; that Bow­doin can be licked in a varsity sport; that the girl students onthe campus are no longer a curi-

%

osity; and that his son just graduating can enter employ­ment at $1800 a year to start.

The younger average alumnus and the older average alumnus have one characteristic in com­mon, namely, loyalty to their Alma Mater. All of which goes to show that whatever be our experiences while in college, the ultimate Maine man is fashioned on the same pattern,

Cross Country Team Expects Good Season

Cross-country prospects are encour­aging. Capt. McKeeman ’23, Patten ’25, Webb ’23 and Kneeland ’23 of last year’s New England champion­ship team are running better than ever. Raymond ’24, a star of the 1920 team who placed sixth in the New England’s of that year, is eligible and should be among the leaders this year. In addition to these men, Ames ’24, an M man in track who was ineligible last year, is in the running together with O’Conner ’24, Wilson ’23, and Pease ’23, who have had experience. Several freshmen look good. Twenty- five men are in the varsity squad, with a total of 48 reporting each day.

Coach Flack is handling the work again and is ably assisted by James S. “Stut” Brooks ex-’14, who is teach­ing in the Engineering faculty and giving his spare time to the novice candidates. Conrad E. Kennison ’24 is manager of the team.

An effort is being made to arrange a dual race with Bates over the Lewis­ton course, or a triangular race with Bates and New Hampshire. The state run is scheduled for Friday, Novem­ber 3, at Lewiston, the day before the Bowdoin football game at Brunswick; the New Englands Saturday, Novem­ber 11, at Franklin Park, Boston; and the Nationals Monday, November 20, at Van Courtland Park, New York City.

Teachers AssociationPlans Reorganization

Plans are maturing for a reorgan­ization of the University of Maine Teachers’ Association. When the teachers of the state of Maine as­semble in Bangor October 26 and 27 among them will be at least 100 who claim Maine as their Alma Mater. A special effort is being made to have every one of them present at the Teachers’ Association banquet in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, Thurs­day, October 26, at 5.30 P. M. Presi­dent Little will complete an afternoon speaking engagement in time to talk intimately with those present in re­gard to the personal problems which face the Department of Education at the University and those facing the teacher graduates of the college. New officers will be elected at that time.

Phi Beta Kappa Coming to Maine

The determined efforts of Dean James S. Stevens of the College of Arts and Sciences to secure for the University a chapter’ of the honorary society of Phi Beta Kappa have at last met with success. The National Convention held September 12 at Cleveland, Ohio, favorably accepted the University application after hav­ing turned it down at the 1916 and 1919 sessions. Our application was indorsed by Bowdoin, Colby, Wes­leyan, Rochester, Colgate, and Indi­ana. The granting of the charter to Maine is a distinct recognition of the scholastic and cultural standards set and maintained by the College of Arts and Sciences.

Phi Beta Kappa was established at the College of William and Mary in 1776. Today chapters are located in over 90 of the best colleges and uni­versities of the country. The frater­nity represents the highest ideals in American culture. Membership in the chapter will be confined to honor stu­dents in the College of Arts and Sci­ences. Phi Kappa Phi, whose mem­bers may be picked from any college of the University, Alpha Zeta, the honorary agricultural fraternity, Al­pha Chi Sigma (Chemical), Tau Beta Pi (Engineering), Sigma Sigma Sig­ma (Biology), Sigma Delta Chi (Jour­nalistic), Xi Sigma Pi (Forestry), and Scabbard and Blade (Military), are the honorary societies to precede Phi Beta Kappa at Maine.

Registration Figures Show Slight Decrease

Alumni Field Repairs Now Partly Completed

Alumni Field since the first of Sep­tember has been the scene of much activity. A corps of laborers have scrapped the old wooden grandstand, torn down the unsightly patches of old wooden fence on the west side of the field, repaired the fence on the north side, weeded the running track, and made ready for the series of entrances which are to mark the first step to­ward setting up a permanent wire fence. The old ticket office has been demolished and already a stucco box office is in the process of erection. Portable steel knockdown bleachers with a seating capacity of 1500 have been purchased and erected for seat­ing the student body. This makes possible a seating capacity of 3324 on Alumni Field, the concrete grandstand seating 1824.

The ground keeper of the Harvard Stadium spent a day on the field dur­ing the summer and gave valuable suggestions for regrading the grid­iron and for relocating the cinder track. The improvements already completed and those proposed for the future are under the direction of the Grand Stand Corporation, money hav­ing been borrowed to take care of the necessary expenditures. At the close of college next June another straight­away will be erected parallel to the present straightaway, thus making it possible to run the quarter-mile with only one turn and making it possible to finish all running events in front of the concrete grandstand. It is es­timated that $20,000 will be expended in regrading and draining the field, building the straightaway, relocating the running track and in erecting a permanent iron fence to enclose the entire field.

1915 Class LettersAgain the class of 1915 proves its

activity by publishing “Seven Years After,” another yearly book of class letters. Forty-one pages are devoted to a letter from President Little, Alumni Secretary Towner, 49 letters from members of the class, one letter from an adopted member, and a fit­ting obituary in memory of William L. Wark, who died last spring. The editor is Miss Gladys H. Merrill.

Aroostook County Field DayIt was on Tuesday, August 15, that

the Mainiacs of Aroostook County assembled at Maple Spring, Young’s Lake, somewhere between Presque Isle and Mars Hill, for the first out­door gala day of that young and active association. Sports, eats, a good old sing, friendly handshakes and a general reunion featured the day. The weather man' was kindly and at least 50 of the alumni, wives, friends and undergraduates were on hand. Before the lunch hour a spirited horseshoe pitching contest was run

off. C. H. Steele ’11 and “Bull” Kriger ’16 constituted the team of self-acknowledged winners. Follow­ing the feed the married men chal­lenged the bachelors to determine the respective baseball abilities of the two groups. The baseball paraphernalia was produced, although it must be

admitted in fairness to the entertain­ment committee that no baseball field of merit was available. Lack of a field never deterred a group of base­ball enthusiasts and so the game was played. The outfielders, being located down over the side of a hill and out of sight of the home plate, were the only players to offer errorless exhibi­tions. “Bull” Kriger insisted on pitch­ing for the bachelors and as a result after 16 long innings the married men won out. 8 to 3. “Booze” Bums and “Pep” Towner constituted the battery for the winners. “Hal” Chadwick as umpire was the only individual who

Philadelphia OutingFrom Our Philadelphia Correspondent

On Saturday, June 17, the old and young Mainiacs, constituting the Alumni Association of Philadelphia, set forth on the journey to that Jersey Mecca, known in trade circles as A r- cyon Park and located in the town of Pitman, New Jersey. Some made the trip By auto, some by train and a few by Shanks’ Mare. Some of the auto parties were sidetracked by detour signs and after driving across the state of New Jersey a few times, hap­pened to hit the town while hunting for some gas and oil. This somewhat prevented any se. program of sport­ing events, but the early arrivals staged several races and amusement which were of much interest to the spectators. At last however the late ones arrived and a ball game was started, but did not equal last year’s event as the champion pitcher of Sperrings Inn was late in reaching the park. No ball game can succeed with­out a first-class pitcher.

No Maine outing is complete with­out the customary swim in the lake which serves the good town of Pitman both as a bathing spot of rare scenic beauty and a first-class water supply. Those New Jersey folks always were frugal. It is reported that some of the extra tall members of the Class of ’00 found considerable mud when they made the high dive from the springboard. Be this as it may, the swim was an enjoyable event and a hose was a welcome change after it.

All the traditions of the State of Maine were upheld in the amount and variety of lunches furnished by the fair ones of the Association, and as a sporting event the eating contest was a huge success. The chief article along the eating line was the baked beans which were furnished, with and without, in five one-gallon pots, by Mr. Drew, and were baked at home and brought to the park in the origi­nal containers—all hot. It was dark before the picnic broke up and at that some of the party went to the dance at the Masonic Club as guests of Mayor Woodsum.

A student said to Mr. Clark, “You’ve got the hardest job to put across on this campus.” Mr. Clark is the full­time Secretary of the Maine Christian Association. But that was said a little over a year ago when the work was but just begun.

The Christian Association program has won its way and is now going full tilt, backed by a student cabinet of men who are dead in earnest and filled with sure-fire enthusiasm. There is gradually coming to be a general recognition that there is a worth in real and vigorous student Christian work that is unmatchable and unbeat­able.

The beginnings were all laid last year and much then accomplished. Bible study classes were organized for the Dormitory and many of the Fra­ternity Houses. In all, there were nine that completed the 12-weeks course, with a total weekly attend­ance of a little over a hundred. Depu­tation work was undertaken and teams of Christian students of from two to ten went for either Sunday meetings with different churches or went for - the entire week-end and a series of meetings with boys. This not alone did the boys of the church good, but it was valuable experience for our men and then also it was a piece of the finest kind of advertising for the University. Then to conduct a 3-day series of meetings for the students we had here Mr. Brewer Eddy in March. While the attendance was not as big as was hoped for, the impres­sions were deep and the influence lasting.

What’s being done this year ? First take the “M” Handbooks. It’s one of the best and neatest books got out in recent years. Fifteen hundred copies have been printed and distributed. Because the value of the book is in­creased to the Freshmen by their hav­ing it in their hands before they are in college, in advance of the opening of college, nearly 400 of them were mailed to men and women who had been admitted to the University.

The first Thursday-night meeting this year had an attendance of about 150, whereas the best one of the six held last year had only 60 in attend­ance. That is a distinctly religious meeting and is conducted by students. It’s a real live proposition. The

Freshman Reception has just been held. It was by far the most lively and most successful reception held in recent years. Plans were laid based on an attendance of 500, but at least seven or eight hundred were present. President Little was one of the speak­ers and the very finest spirit prevailed. So it looks as though new standards were to be set all along the line in Christian work this year.

It should be added that the student Christian Association is aggressively backed in its efforts by a very effi­cient Advisory Board of 35 members, composed largely of alumni and fac­ulty members. The Advisory Board is responsible for employing the secre­tary and general supervision of the activities of the student association.

German Field Pieces for University Relic

The University is to have on its campus as a permanent reminder of American valor in the world war one of the German field pieces captured by American forces. Governor Baxter has delegated to his adjutant-general the duty of distributing Maine’s ap­portionment of these war souvenirs which the federal government is to award, but has asked that one be as­signed to University of Maine.

This gift is regarded as especially fitting, because military training is a part of the university curriculum. A major, two captains and two minor officers of the regular army are in charge of that feature of university training. Every fall an entering class of 500 or more men are enrolled in the R.O. T. C. ranks to receive a year of military training.

Another reason why University of Maine should be entitled to one of these war souvenirs is because more than 1700 of its undergraduates and alumni served in the world war. For­ty-one met death in the service, 20 having been killed in action, 3 killed by accident and 18 from disease. The class of 1918 suffered the greatest losses, its death roll totalling 13.

Colorado has a mountain area six times as great as Switzerland, with 42 peaks exceeding 14,000 feet altitude as against eight such giants in the Swiss Alps. It has 36 mountains higher than Mount Fuesteraahorn, the highest peak in Switzerland.

An unusual letter from a successful man to a younger man

A hundred men graduate from college in the same class with identi­cally the same training. A t the end of ten or fifteen years, a few of the hundred have forged far ahead. They have “ made a place for themselves” while the great majority are still held— many of them permanently held— in the routine places of business.

W h a t causes the difference? W hat extra training do the few add to their college work which carries them so much farther and faster?

A clear-cut, interesting an­swer to that question was given recently in a letter by

A college man to whom success came early

Stephen B . Mambert, Vice- President of the widespread enterprises established by Thomas A . Edison, is still in his early thirties. T o his desk there came a letter from a young man in Texas. “ I am conducting a little business here,” the young man wrote. “ W hat can I do to grow and to make it grow? Would the Alexander Hamilton Institute be a paying investment for me?”} To which Mr. Mambert replied:

“In answer to your inquiry I cannot do more than outline

My own experience“The chief thing I learned in college

was how to study. Notwithstand­ing the fact that my schooling pro­vided me with an opportunity to study many of the things which are regarded as valuable, I very keenly felt, upon leaving college and enter­ing business, that I was like a wheel with spokes of different lengths, and that I needed something to round out and to bring together into a complete whole the different spoke lengths. In fact, I entirely lacked several spokes. In my individual case, the Alexander Hamilton In­stitute Course served this very use­ful purpose.”

The little added training that makes success

What, precisely, did the Alexander Hamilton Institute give to Mr. Mambert in addition to what col­lege had given him?

I t gave him the same sort of graduate training in business which hospital experience gives to the physician, or the law office gives to the lawyer. This training in­cludes a knowledge of the prin­ciples underlying every major ac­tivity in business—sales, account­ing, costs, merchandising, adver­tising, factory and office manage­ment, corporation finance.

Add this training to the four years

of college, and you give a man a distinct advantage over his classmate who has the cultural or technical training of college alone. And the cost of the added training in money and time is trivial in comparison with the rewards.

A book worth sending forThe facts about the Alexander H am ilto n In s t i tu te —what its Course is, and just what it has done for other college men—have been condensed into a 118-page book “Forging Ahead in Business.” To many a man the evening which he . spent with this book has proved more valuable than any other in his business life. There is a copy for every thoughtful college man; it is a book well worth adding to your business library. Merely fill in the coupon; your copy will be sent at once, and without obligation.
