JUNIOR WEEK

Progress Announced

Owing to Junior week coming before the closeof the college year it has been deemed advisableto cut down the program to three days inctead offour. This has made it necessary to omit theboat ride and the open house. Still anotherchange is that there will be no Ivy Day exercisesthis year, but beginning next year this will forma part of the regular commencement exercises.The festivities will open with the JuniorExhibition Speaking, in the chapel onThursday, May 2, and close with a presentationof the Magistrate, by the Maine Masque, in thegymnasium, Saturday, May 4. The committeeshave spared no effort to make Junior week apronounced success as may be seen from thefollowing program.

1913 "PRISM"

Now in hands of the Printer

The work of collecting the material for the 1913Prism has been completed and the copy has beenplaced in the hands of the printers in Buffalo,New York. The book will be made up andbound and placed on sale about the fifteenth ofMay. In anticipation of a large sale six hundredcopies will be printed. The price of thisPrism will be $2.50 for a cloth binding. Any one

who wish a leather binding must make knowntheir desire before the books are bound. Theprice of the leather binding will be $3.00, theextra fifty cents representing the actual differencein cost between the two bindings. In view ofthe recent faculty ruling restricting the cost offuture Prisms it is extremely unlikely that such abook as the 1913 Prism will be published formany years, and for that reason it is hoped thatthe demand for this year's book will be verylarge.

BASEBALL PRACTISE

About Fifty Candidates Out

The work is now progressing rapidly in thebaseball cage. The squad so far numbers aboutfifty, and as the space is somewhat limited, thesemen have been divided up into various sections,scheduled to practise at different times in theafternoon. Practise has been going on under thedirection of Ralph B. Pond, '12, and Monday,Coach Magoon met his men for the first time.Coach Magoon is up against a rather hard propo-sition, that of practically making a new team,there being only three 'varsity men now in college;Abbott '14, (captain), Cobb, '14, and McCarthy,'13. However there is some good material outat present, and with plenty of hard work thechances are good, that a team will be turned outwill be worthy of Maine.Of the pitchers, good work is expected from

Stobie, '14, who showed up well in the interclassgames Gilman '15, and McLaughlin '15, are alsoshowing up well in this line.

Catchers seem to be rather plentiful, Capt.Abbott, '14, Baker '15, of Hebron Academy,and York '15, of Coburn.Of the infield not much can be said as yet,

Cobb '14, shortstop of last year's team, Witham,'12, Chase '13, Coyne '14, Bird '13, McKeen '12,Pickard '14, and Newcomb '15, are showing goodform.

In the outfield the most promising candidatesare: McCarthy '13, Holway '14, Leonard '13,Kimball '14, and Storman '15.

220 THE MAINE CAMPUS

SENIOR ASSEMBLY

Very successful Dance

The Senior Assembly, which took place last

Friday evening, was a decided success in evcry

respect and reflects much credit on the com-

mittee in charge. The affair was wholly informal

and brought out a large number, about ore hun-

dred and twenty-five couples being in attendance.Dancing began at 8 o'clock and continued until

1.30, an order of twenty-four dances being carriedout. The decorations were simple, but attractive.

The patronesses were Mrs. Mary Parcher, Mrs.Bertha Moulton, Mrs. Jeannette A. Harrington,Mrs. Harriet A. Lord, Mrs. Ella J. Mason, Mrs.

Mida W. Brown, Mrs. Marietta Dunn, and Mrs.Winfred W. Haggett. Music was furnished byPullen's orchestra of Bangor.

ENGINEERS TO BOSTON

Every other year it is the custom of themechanical and electrical engineering depart-

ments of the University to arrange a trip of in-spection to representative engineering works in

the vicinity of Boston upon which juniors andseniors of these departments are especially urged

to go. The value of such trips as these has cometo be so well recognized that they are a required

part in the curriculum in many institutions andthe requirement that every student in the de-partments of electrical and mechanical engineer-ing should make a trip once during his collegecourse is in contemplation at the University.

This year plans have been made to start forBoston Tuesday evening, March 26, and makeheadquarters at the Copley Square Hotel.Wednesday the General Electric Company atLynn will be visited, the entire day being givenover to this plant. It is expected that thevisitors will take lunch with a number of alumniin Lynn.Thursday forenoon the L Street Station of the

Boston Elevated Company is to be visited and inthe afternoon the United Shoe Machinery Com-pany at Beverly. The program for Friday in-cludes visits to the Milk Street Exchange of theNew England Telephone Company and theQuincy Market Refrigeration and Cold StorageWarehouse; that for Saturday includes tripsto the Fore River Shipbuilding Company inthe morning and to the power plant of the OldColony railroad at Quincy in the afterne)on.Sunday afternoon the party will go to Worcester

and stop at the Bay State Hotel. The visits here

will be to the American Steel and Wire CompanyMonday morning; to Crompton and Knowles,Loom works, Monday afternoon, to the NortonCompany Tuesday morning; and in the after-noon to the Worcester Pressed Steel Company andthe Norton Grinding Company.

ITERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING

The first debate in the interscholastic leaguewill be held at Bar Harbor, Friday March 29,between Bangor High and Bar Harbor High.As these schools are keen rivals and the teamshave been working for weeks in preparation forthe event, it is expected that the audience willhear a warm debate.This is one of the preliminaries for the final

debate between the winners of this and thewinners of a contest between Eastern MaineConference Seminary and Foxcroft Academy.The league was organized by the English depart-ment at the University and for the final debatewhich will be held here a cup is offered to thewinning school, and a thirty dollar scholarshipto the best speaker. Under the terms of theconstitution the coaches shall be members of theadvanced argumentation classes at the Univer-sity of Maine. W. D. Towner, '14, is coaching theBar Harbor team while P. W. Monohon, '14, ishandling the Bangor boys. The judges whohave been selected as neither alumni of nor menin any way connected with the -•chools represent-ed, will be: Prof. G. W. Stevens of the Universityof Maine, Hon. John Peters of Ellsworth, Maine,and Hon. A. P. Havey.of Sullivan Maine.

These clubs seem to be the natural outgrowthof the increasing interest in debating and publicspeaking events. This increased interest isevinced not only by the revival of college debatingclubs but also by the formatoion of several inter-scholastic leagues throughout the state.

"THE UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE"

Lecture by Prof. J. H. Foster

On Wednesday evening, March 20th, theForestry Club was exceedingly fortunate in hav-ing Prof. J. H. Foster of the New HampshireState College as its speaker. The Club Room ofthe Library was well filled and the members ofthe club listened to a very interesting account of"The United States Forest, Service." Prof.Foster was well fitted to tell of the work of the

Forest Service, having had five years of practicalexperience for the government in this importantwork. He told of the complete revision of theservice in 1907 when the department was es-tablished upon firm business principles, thusmaking it one of the government's best organizeddepartments. He described the work of thevarious positions connected with the work, givinga detailed account of the duties of the districtforester down to those of the ranger. His ownexperience furnished a pleasing fund of informa-tion and anecdotes from which he drew veryfreely.In closing he explained the purpose, scope, and

working of the Week's bill, or Appalachian law,which passed Congress a little over a year ago.This bill sets aside the sum of two millions ofdollars annually for the next five years to be usedin purchasing land for government purposes atthe head waters of navigable streams. To thepresent day, only land on the AppalachianMountains and in the vicinity of the WhiteMountains has negotiated for, but in all probabilityforest land in other portions of the country willbe set aside.

Following his talk before the Forestry ClubProf. Foster appeared before two of Prof. Briscoe'sclasses and delivered a very interesting talk onthe "Forest policy in the state of New Hampshire"He contrasted the policy of his own state withthat of other states. He said that although theNew Hampshire system of forest protection wasby no means perfect, it ranked with that of Maineand other states whose systems are among thebest in the country.The University was very fortunate in being

able to secure such a good speaker, for Prof.Foster, while being well informed of forestryconditions in this country due to his valuableexperience, was a most fluent and interestingtalker.

"1W' CLUB MINSTRELS

Rehearsals Started

Plans in connection with the Minstrel Showto be given under the auspices of the " M " Clubare progressing rapidly. Rehearsals for the play,"Cherry Bounce," a clean-cut farce overflowingwith pure fun, have been going on for some time.The parts will probably be assigned this week.The rehearsals for the minstrel part of the enter-tainment began Wednesday evening and willcontinue unt;i the date of the performance.

FUND FOR ALUMNI FIELD

Alumni Committee at Work

The raising of the funds necessary to the im-provement of the athletic field is going on rapidlyunder the direction of NIr. Wingard. Committeeshave been established already in many places forthe purpose of collecting, the money. The com-mittee at Washington, D. C., consists of Mr. P.L. Ricker 1900, and H. P. Gould, '93, At AugustaMr. A. K. Gardner '10, has charge. Mr. RussellSmith, '11, is collecting in Lewiston and Auburn.Mr. Harold Cook '10, at Waterville, and Mr. E. A.Parker at Skowhegan are trying their best tosecure money. The Boston Alumni Associationhas appointed Mr. S. P. Graves, '03, and HarrySutton '09, as its committee. The committeeof the Schenectady, N. Y. Association is J. G.Lurvey, '00, H. Duren, '02, and H. F. Hoxie '99.Director Wingard has commenced his tour ofour alumni associations in order to urge them allto untiring in their efforts to our athletic themost imposing one in the state.Following is the list of Mr. Wingard's campaignstumps: March 22, at Waterville, March 24 at

Portland, March 29 at Schenectady, New York,March 30, at New York City, April 1, at Washing-ton, D. C., April 3 at Chicago, April 6 at Pitts-burg. It is the sincere hope of every Maine manthat Mr. Wingard will be successful in his questand that when he returns he may tell us that ourimproved athletic field is a certainty.

JUNIOR-SOPHOMORE DEBATE

Tuesday evening, March 26, the junior-sopho-more debate will take place in the chapel. Al-though for a number of years there have beenannual debates between the sophomore andfreshman classes this is the first between thejuniors and sophomores. The question for dis-cussion is, "Resolved, That the History of TradesUnions for the Past Twenty Years Shows aTendency Detrimental to the Best Interests ofthe Country." The juniors will support theaffirmative of the proposition. The teams andthe order of speaking are as follows: juniors,Philip S. Bolton first speaker; Edmund N.Woodsum, second; and George C. Clark, third;sophomores, Evcrat B. Harvey, first six aker-Hcrmon R. Clark, second; and Wayland D.Towner, third. The teams have bet n workingfor some time, and an interesting discussion iswell assured.

EDITORIAL,

As a general rule, changes that are gradual

and are accomplished with the minimum of

agitation and friction receive very

The Situation little attention and are very se-

in Athletics dom appreciated. The sweeping

changes that have been made in

the athletic policy and management at the Uni

versity in the past two years are of that type,

and, true to the rule have occurred so quietly

that those who have been in touch with the

situation continually, do not realize the really

great changes that have been made, without

drawing the contrast between the conditions of

two years ago and those of today. The situation

of two years ago was about as follows. For

many seasons our athletic teams had failed to

win championships. Team after team had start-

ed its work with fair material and at the end of

the season came out losers. The Alumni were

beginning to complain at the unreasonably long

string of defeats and were justified. Maine men,

both on and off the Campus, were beginning to

lose faith in their team's ability to win. The

staunch support of friends of the University's

athletics was beginning to be undermined.

Coaches were hired from year to year and re-

mained only through the seson of their own

particular sport. "Steve" Farrell was the only

man on the Campus connected with athletics

permanently. He was doing noble work, but

he was handicapped by lack of authority. The

affairs of the athletic association were managed by

an executive committee, composed of representa-

tives from the different fraternities, the captains

and managers of all athletic teams and delegates

from the Faculty and Alumni bodies, a committee

swayed by fraternity politics and unable to cope

with the increasing needs of the association.

Today the conditions are remarkably different.

We have won two championships in the past two

college years and have two chances yet to come.

In the case of defeats, if supporters of our athletics

wished to inquire into the reason they have been

told in plain, unvarnished facts. We have an

athletic director, E. R. Wingard, who remains

on the Campus the year round, who has direct

supervision of the coaching of all teams. We also

have a trainer and track coach throughout the

college year in Coach Smith. The affairs of the

association are handled by a small but efficient

board composed of three Faculty members, three

members from the Alumni, and four students in-

cluding the president of the association.

The bare recounting of the changes, however,

does not bring out the improvement in conditions

without speaking of some of the changes in detail.

Our athletic teams have much better equipped

than ever before. For instance, our football

team of last fall was supplied as well as those of

institutions of twice our size and reputation.

Both track and baseball teams are also better

supplied than ever before. We have a new

board track which before had seemed impossible.

field the enormity of which would have swampedthe old athletic board. We have better coachesthan ever before and they are here long enoughto know their men and apprecitate the conditions.The athletic association runs the college storewhich will soon begin to bring in revenue. Ourschedules are arranged much earlier and muchbetter games are being secured. Probably oneof the greatest improvements, though is thebusiness-like way in which our athletics aremanaged. The Alumni and Faculty membersfof the athletic board are interested in the affairsof the association. They have to be shown beforethey act. They are willing to shoulder responsi-bility for the association if need be. These areonly a few of the improvements over the formermethods which exist today and the end is not yet.We feel that it is appropriate to say a word of

appreciation of the work of those to whom theserapid steps of advancement are directly due.Going back to the spring of 1910 the athleticassociation owes a great deal of appreciationof the services of C. C. Johnson '10, P. S. Stroutand Mr. R. Sumner '11, Prof. R. K. Jones andthe other members of the then existing executivecommittee, together with certain Alumni whosaw the deficiencies in the system and showedthat they had the courage of their convictions bystarting in at the bottom and making a generalclean-up of the affairs of the association. Tothem is due the credit for the new Constitutionand by laws of the association, and the engagingof Mr. Wingard as athletic director. The workof Mr. Wingard has been great, how great veryfew realize. To his efforts and those of Prof.Bean is due primarily the organization of the"M" Club, which will undoubtedly be one of thegreatest factors in the maintaining of Maine'sathletic teams in a few years. He is responsiblefor the great improvement that was made onAlumni Field last year. It is due also almostentirely to his influence that we are having bettercoaches, that our teams have better equipment,and all of this too without scarcely any moreassessment on the student body. Due also tohis attention to his work many more of ourathletes are eligible to compete because he hasseen to it that they realized the importance of

keeping up their college standing. As a resultof this work the members of the "M" Club camethrough the last set of final examinations un-scathed, almost without exception. To thepresent members of the Athletic board DeanBoardman, Prof. Bean, and Prof. Jones from theFaculty and C. P. Crowell '98, P. B. Palmer '96,and H. B. Buck '93, from the Alumni especialcredit is due. Very few students realize thesacrifice it means for them to attend the meet-ings of the board and exert their influence in itsbehalf. They are all busy men, and give theirservice loyally to the University. Perhaps themost disagreeable job of all is that of treasurer,and the student body as a whole owe a lot toMr. Gannett '07, for his thorough service in thatcapacity.The entire spirit of this article may be lost on

the readers, but it is given for a purpose. Oflate, adverse criticism has been heard on theCampus concerning the management of athleticsin general. Perhaps those who seem to haveground to complain will think better of it whenthey realize what has been, and is being done.Fault finding does not improve college spirit.The place for criticism is in the athletic boardmeeting. The members of that board are readyand willing at all times to listen to the complaintsof any and all who think that the right policy isnot being pursued. Such complaints will beinvestigated thoroughly and the right thing willbe done. University of Maine athletics are onthe right basis, and the only thing that can stopadvancement to the level of larger institutions isthe lack of support from the student and Alumnibodies.

The Easter recess will occur before anotherissue of the CAMPUS appears. Our student bodyfor a week will be scattered all over New England.May every Maine man remember what the littlepine tree on the coat means, and lose no oppor-tunity to speak a good word for the University.

"Just a line to say that I think you did re-markably well here in your Dual Meet. The factthat the score stood 28i to 25i before the relays

224 THE MAINE CAMPUS

speaks for itself. I really did not think that it

would be so close.This letter from Coach Smith of the Maine

track team to Coach Adams is indicative of the

treatment received by Colby at the hands of the

Maine management and students. When Nar-

dini fot.nd that he had left his shoes in Waterville,

the Maine coach himself took the trouble to find

a good fitting pair of jumping shoes for him. The

spirit shown by Maine officials in awarding the

relay to Colby on Maine's failure to touch off is

also to be prcised. Not every college has the

sportsmanship to render a dcci ion against itself

at the possible cost of a meet. This chivalrous

attitude accounts in a large measure for the

cordial relations between Colby and the Uni-

versity of Maine—Colby Echo.

We btlkve that this is always the spirit of

Maine's athle tics, and it is very gratifying to

realize that it is appreciated.

The next issue of the CAMPUS will appear on

April 16.

MUSICAL CLUBS TO MASSACHUSETTS

To Start Tomorrow on Big Trip

For the first time in years the Musical Clubsare to take a Massachusetts trip, starting to-morrow morning and finishing the trip at Port-land Monday evening, April 1.The first concert of the trip will be given to-

morrow evening in the Haverhill High Schoolbuilding under the auspices of the HaverhillHigh Senior class. On Thursday evening, Mar.28, they will appear in Classical School Hall,Lynn, Mass., under the auspices of the LynnHigh School. Friday evening, a concert is givenin Wakefield, under the auspices of the Whittier-Walton Sunday School, and on Saturday, March30, the clubs will appear in Jordan Hall, Boston,under the auspices of the Boston Alumni Associa-tion.

Maine men everywhere can well be gratefulto the Boston Alumni Association for its un-ceasing work for the University. The BostonAssociation has always shown its loyalty toMaine in every way possible and the manner inwhich they are conducting this concert is anevidence of the same loyal spirit. It is trying in

every way to have present at this concert as manyas possible of the past and present, and especiallythe future Maine men. The association is tryingto do its part for a larger entering class in the.fall, and by way of doing this, is sending out manycomplimentary tickets to prospective collegestudents. This cannot result otherwise than inthe benefit of Maine. .The Clubs will be entertained over Sunday in

Boston, by the Boston Association. On Mondayevening will appear in Pythian Hall, Portland,Maine, under the auspices of the Sigma Upsilonsociety.

All the Clubs have been working hard for thistrip and there is every reason to believe that itwill be as successful as any trip of past years.

Chrysler, head of the biologicaldepartment, gave the seventh of the series ofUniversity lectures on the subject, "ModernAspects of the Doctrine of Evolution," in AlumniHall, Wednesday afternoon, March 20. Thetopic for the afternoon was, "Modes of EvolutionAccording to Lamark and Darwin."

Evolution has come to be regarded as acertain fact among biologists, and so convincedhave they became of its truth that they haveinvestigated the principles governing its action.One of the earliest pioneers in this work wasLamark (1774-1829,) who supported his idea thatevolution is the effect of use and disuse. Anillustration of the former may be seen in theblacksmith's arm, the strength of which is passedon to his children. Another illustration of useis seen in the neck of the giraffe, its length beingattributed to constant stretching when reachingfor food. Lamark's evidence, however, was notstrong enough to bear out his doctrine.In 1859 Darwin published his "Origin of

Species," in which he gave evidence of evolution.Darwin pointed out that domesticated races areproduced by the selection of the breeder, as maybe seen in the case of dogs, pigeons and otheranimals. Then he reasoned that the same thingcould occur in nature, by having Nature sift outthe most unfit individuals. In this case the fit-ness of the individual to its environment hastaken the place of the breeder. This theory isdeveloped by steps as follows: (1) more animalsand plants are produced than can possibly live;(2) no two individuals are quite alike; (3) thestronger and fitter will survive to breed; (4) the

variationsTherefore,which arethan werethe longe5reach higlothers astherefore,"The struof the fitt4

variations will be inherited by the offspring.Therefore, eventually, new species are formedwhich are better adapted to their environmentthan were the preceding ones. The giraffe withthe longest neck could, when food was scarce,reach higher and thus survived and reproducedothers as tall and strong as itself. Darwin,therefore, attributes the action of evolution to"The struggle for existence" and "The survivalof the fittest."

"OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK INTEACHING"

Chapel Talk by Prof. A. J. Jones

In chapel last Friday morning, Professor A. J.Jones head of the Department of Education,spoke on the "Opportunity for work in Teaching".He said that these opportunities were neglectedby most of the U. of M. students, and that thisshould be no longer true. Although the studentsof this line of work have been poorly paid, at thepresent time the wages are being increased and intime the teachers will be paid very much better.New men are needed who dare to cut loose from

the old methods and take up new and broaderones. The men to do this are the men who havehad a college education. In comparison with thework involved no occupation is better paid thanis teaching. The qualifications demanded arethat the men must have a broader view of the

opportunities offered, better methods of teaching,and early practice if this be possible. As thepresent time the graduates of the Colleges ofArts and Sciences of the University of Maine areas well fitted to teach as those of any college inthe state.

Professor Jones said that the time is surelycoming when the demand for good teachers willbe much greater in Maine than it is at present,and he urged all students to give careful that tothe possibilities of teaching before they telectedtheir life work.
