TRAVIS SUCCEEDS WITH RADIO WAGON

Proves to the Electrical Engineer­ing Department That Persist­

ency of Effort Will Sur­mount Any Difficulty

Confronted with many unforseen obstacles and the pessimistic criticisms of various students and faculty mem­bers, Irvin Travis succeeded on Tues­day afternoon in actually making th*e radio controlled tea-wagon perform numerous gyrations in the Great Court. Seated on the second floor balcony and controlling remotely a radio transm it­ter in the basement, H enry Houghton operated the switch that governed the movement of the contraption. Travis stood by and proudly watched the de­vice perform. •

W orking with Travis were, Messrs. Stout, Houghton, Henshaw and Crad­dock.

The tea-wagon will be the main fea­ture of the engineering exhibit and will perform in the court both on F ri­day and Saturday of this week.

DINNER PARTY TONIGHT AT THE TEA ROSE

Some of the students very anxious to make the May Frolic the greatest ever, were more than delighted when Mrs. George L. Ball, the mother of the well- known Blanch and Marion Ball in­vited them to a dinner party at the “Tea Rose” at 7:30 o’clock this eve­ning.

DISCUSSION GROUPS AT THE STUDENT HOUSES

Thanks to our able and willing Y. M. C. A. secretary, Munsey Gleaton, an entirely new movement, which will prove a great benefit to the Student H ouse girls, has been started. Mr. Gleaton has consented to come to the houses and direct discussions on such topics as will prove of interest to the girls. These topics are not only inter­esting but are helpful in a large de­gree. They encourage the discussion of topics pertaining to religion, campus problems, etc.

The first discussion g^oup was held at 3305-3307 Powelton Avenue on April 12th. T ex t books were given out containing a resume of the prob­lems which come up in the life of a college student. The girls selected the topics which they though would prove m ost interesting, and they decided to discuss these.

The first meeting was spent largely in the discussion of ‘W hy W e Are In College.” The various opinions of

Hn the girls were given and discussed. It w as particularly interesting to note tha t most of the girls are here for the purpose of increasing their earn­ing power. Then, the aim, of the schools of America, as with those of Europe, was discussed and the girls decided that European schools strive m ore for the cultural side than the earning side of life. They decided, however, that education should strive for service and preparation for life.

These groups are popular and eager­ly looked forward to by the girls. W e all love to have something to say now and then—and there is no better place to say it. So, the girls of the houses would welcome anyone who might be interested, and they promise them an hour of delightful and helpful discus­sion. The discussion groups are held ^very Tuesday evening from 6:45 to J ;45 in the parlor of 3307 Powelton Avenue.

INSTALUTION OF Y. W. C. A. CABINET

Just at sundown of Sunday evening. May 2d, a solem procession of Drexel girls dressed in white and carrying lighted candles, wound its way slowly down the stairs at 216 N. 33d street. Clear, girlish voices singing “Follow the Gleam,” broke the stillness accom­panied by Mary Sherer at the piano and Bertha Lugan on the violin. The outgoing officers to<fk their seats at one end of the room, holding their candles high so that the pure rays of our Y. W. C. A. shone upon the heads of our promising new workers seated on the floor at their feet. W hen the rhymns and scripture had been read our former president, Ann Gross, de­livered her installation address to M argaret Whitfield and was answered by a solemn response from M argaret .Whitefield, our new president, and by a declaration in unison from the other officers and committee heads set­ting forth the purpose of the Y. W,C. A. The prayer then having been offered, each cabinet member gave her candle to her successor—thus strength­ening the guiding power of the new officer. A joint meeting of the Cab­inet will be held W ednesday, May 12th, a t which time the real duties will be given over.

Ann Gross gives up the presidency to M argaret Whitfield, Elizabeth D ar­lington receives the Vice Presidency from Jeanette Robey, Pauline Morgan gives over to Thelma Stipe the duties of Secretary and Helen Lindenmutli gives to Ruth Sutherland the duties of Treasurer. The new committee heads are:

Vesper Committee—Elizabeth Mac- Dowell.

Chapel Committee—Ida Scott,Social Committee—Helen Milliken,

commuter; Olga Hollis, student house. Social Service ‘Committee—Marie

Sloane, Commuter; Isabel Mundorf, student house.

Undergraduate Representative — Grace Niles. /

Publicity Committee—Edith Ro*d.

FORMAL ASSEMBLYOn April 21 at the Formal Assem­

bly, the speaker for the m orning was Dr. Roy D. Foster, Chaplain at the U. of P. H is theme was a very in­teresting and unique one, “Some Phrases I Have Met.” W ords like people have individuality, and there are numerous phrases in literature which are just waiting for someone> to find them and put them to use.

“ Life is the stuff to tj-y the soul’s strength on, and to produce the man.” If man has the will to conquer the diffi­culties of life, he will succeed.

“ I think, therefore, I am,” shows that people are not mere puppets, but have the power of thought, and the working of their destinies.

Carlyle’s famous expostulation, “ Iwill live a white life,------1 will live awhite life------if I go to hell!” Showsus how, in his struggle to become awriter, he preserved and overcame temptation.

Dr. Foster ended by saying that we should look for phrases in literature, and use them. They challenge us to a higher life, they mock us and show up our superficialities, and help us to mpld our lives.

CARO OF THANKSThe Maytime Frolic Committee

takes this opportunity to express their appreciation to Miss Baldwin, Miss W orrell and Dr. S traton for the in­terest they took in helping to plan for this eventful occasion. W e feel sure that the “Maytime Frolic” would even have reached its climax without their wise and helpful suggestions and it gave the students an incentive to work when they saw the hearty co-operation of the faculty.

FOODS EXHIBITw ill-no t recognize the labora­

tory in room 302, so completely will it be disguised, half in the form of a modern kitchenette and the other half as a Colonial kitchen. The foods de­partment hopes to bring out the de­cided contrast between the crude m eth­ods of preparing meals in the kitchen with the convenient, hygienic equip­ment of today.

There will be a very interesting dis­play of all modern utensils in contrast with many antique ones and of equip­ment used previously to carry on in­dustries in the home which are now purely external.

One part of the laboratory is to be devoted to an educational exhibit of posters showing our friends the great value to be derived from the modern ideals of health and nutrition. Altho it might seem that the many activi­ties once associated with the home as in Colonial days, may now have left woman with little to do, we believe that this exhibit will show to every­one that a great deal .still remains to be carried on by the homemaker, that education has brought out many more important phases of home life to take the place of the Colonial industries.

ANNUAL DRAMATIC NIGHTOn the 21st of May the Dramatic

Club will entertain us by presenting the five-act classic comedy, “Money,” by Bulwer Lytton, This was one of the most popular English comedies of its time and has been presented before royal personages. The cast as finally chosen by Professor Altmaier, the

coach, is a most able one, being com­posed of the best dramatic talent the institute has to offer, in fact it promises to compete with the original casts.

This unusual performance will offer the novelty of the last century for fifty cents and seventy-five cents. If you want to know anything about the infl{ience of money upon society, about true love, about good gam bling,. and all other worth while things in life, you should spend this evening in laughter with U s.

STUDENT HOUSE ACTIVITIES FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAYThere could be no better time to

have the May festival than the week­end of May 6th for everyone. In ad­dition to the characteristic May fes­tivities, we are preparing for the special entertainment of the mothers. We are sure that this year will see the most perfect Mother’s Day tribute we have ever given.

Friday night, preceding the en­gineering exhibition, a formal dinnei given by 3305 and ’07 is to be served at the dining hall. The freshmen of each house have been assigned the duty of earning ten dollars which is to be put toward this dinner and to make it pos­sible for each mother to attend free of charge. The freshmen are working hard after study hour is over selling hot weiners, sandwiches and lemon­ade to eat at the various houses. 3305 and ’07 are trying hard to make this dinner in honor of the mothers the best they have had this year. The goal is high—but the girls know it will be reached.

At the student houses on Saturday afternoon there will be a general in­spection of the rooms followed by a tea with Miss Dorsey as hostess.

PUNTATION INNPlannin’ on comin’ to Plantation

Inn? Of course you are, honey, ’cause Aunt Jemima’s going to be there waiting for you. And she wants you to bring your “people and your mammy,” and all the “chilluns” from home. M artha W ashington and Dolly Madison and all the other lovely Colonial ladies will be there to greet you and make everything enjoyable for you. You’re going to be trans­ported to a real old Southern planta­tion with lots of atmosphere. And you’ll get something more than atm os­phere—you’ll have chicken and waffles and that good thick maple syrup. Topsy and Eva will be there, too,— you’ll just love the Plantation Inn. T h a t’s our story and we’re going to stick to it!

THE E LE aR lU L EXHIBITSThe work of the Electrical Engin­

eering Departm ent has been divided

into five main groups, each group hav­

ing two or more Seniors in charge,

with laborers recruited from the Junior

class. These groups are:

1. General Electrical Machinery.

2. H igh Tension Equipment.3. Radio.4. Photom etry and Illun^ination.5. S tunts and Novelties.N ot only all of the equipment in

the electrical laboratories will be plac­ed in full operation, but considerable new and original apparatus will be placed on display for the first time at the Engineering Exposition. This apparatus has been constructed en­tirely by students, mainly from m a­terials at hand, and is a credit to the men who have designed and bujlt it.

As almost every one is quite fa­miliar with a great deal of ordinary electrical apparatus, the electrical ex­hibits will lean toward the spectacular. Nevertheless, there will be quite a diversified display o^ other apparatus, which will be educational and en­tertaining as well.

CLOTHING IXHIBiTIONThe Junior Clothing 'm ajo rs have

charge of the clothing exhibition which is an evolution of different typcf of clothing since the Colonial day. O ne end of the clothing laboratory 312; ii- fixed up to represent a colonial room. In this room is placed several piecet of furniture, one supposed to have been brought over by the settlers. In an­other room is an interesting displajr of textiles, shawls and etc. At one side of the room are a number of hats of the nineteenth century. An ex­planation of this is made by postera showing how we get our ideas of modern millinery. Miss Edith New­ton has charge of this exhibition un­der the direction of Miss Turner. Miaa Mabel W hitelawn has worked up an' interesting display of morning and afternoon garments, which also in** elude sport garments. Again posters fill in the spaces that are left where garments have not been found. Going to the Clothing Office we find Miss Elizabeth Squives case on childrens clothing. M'iss Chapman has assisted with this case. M any unusual gar­ments are found here arranged in an in­teresting way, with the dainty modern clothes accompanying it. A t the other side of the room we find a modern brides room with her outfit laid out in waiting for her hands. In the closet we find the dresses of her mother, grandmother, and great-grandm other with the accessories that have been worn with them. Miss Baldwin as­sisted Charlotte Starkweather with this case. The rest of the office is made to appear spring like with blos­soms. Miss Lotz has placed a typical Indian display in her room. The objects are from her own collection,

IMPRESSIONS OF THE SOPHOMORE HOP

The Sophomore H op is over! It was held at the Girard-Craftsman Club on Saturday night, April 17th. Cap­tain and Mrs. Reed, with L i e u t e i ^ | ^ ^ and Mrs. Kelly were the chaperones.

The Drexel couples were lured into the prettily decorated hall by the en­chanting music played by the t Miami Entertainers. Remarks have been passed around that the H op was one of the best dances of the season. Per­haps this is because there was room enough to dance; and then, each couple seemed to join in the crowd, making the whole a gathering with real school spirit.

Confetti and paper serpentines served as novelty to the merrimakers; and by the time the dance was over al­most everyone was elaborately decor­ated.

their individual work but for their capable handling of the schedule and team.

The outlooks for the season of 1926-27 is very bright as entire team will again be available, while George W ashington and Maryland each shoot­ing their fourth season with veteran teams will face Drexel’s problem of this year.

HAVERFORD TENNIS TEAM DEFEATS DREXEL IN OPENERThe tennis team journeyed to Hav-

'^irford on April 12 for its first match oii the year. H averford won the m atch rather easily, by the score of5 to 1. Burkholder, a Freshman, but playing first singles, won the only match for Drexel. Although those w ho knew the abiilty of Burkholder through his fine work at W est Phila­delphia H igh School, expected him to come through in fine form, they had hardly dared hope that he would tum ­ble Marshall, Haverford’s captain and first singles man. H e accomplished this feat to the tune of straight sets,6-4, 6-2. Brandt, playing second sin­gles, and Captain Miller, playing third, both carried their matches to three sets but were unable to pull them out of the fire.

Despite this defeat, the outlook for the tennis team is distinctly encourag­ing. Burkholder should win the big majority of the matches that he plays. Brandt and Miller are both improving steadily, and will soon be in form to cop their matches. If the things break the right way, the team should win a m a­jority' of their matches. If they do, it will be a successful season, for among the teams they m ust face are Dela­ware, P. M. C., St. Joseph’s, M or­avian, P ratt, Juniata, St. Stephens, Sjnracuse and Ursinus.

DREXEL TOPS PRAHA home run by Stamp in the

eleventh inning was the blow that won the game from the P ra tt Institute, when, on April 17, a t the home field, our vjM^sity ball team opposed the iingers from Brooklyn. The score, 9 to 8, and the length of the game, e)even innings, indicates how long and how hard the tussle was.

P ra tt jumped off to a lead in the first inning when Dunn, the visitor’s sec- on4 baseman hit a home run fbhind the pavilion. Casciato had retired the first two men to face him, but Dunn’s solid clout was good for four bases and the first counter of the game. In tlie second inning Drexel came back «|nd loaded the. bases with none out. Sukin and Foley were forced across before the opposing pitcher. Cannon, was able to regain his control.

In the fifth inning, Drexel rallied again. Davidson opened th« Jnnint with a walk. Stamp singled to third, and Sukin, the next man up, hit to the pijtcher, who threw to third too late tp catch Davidson. Foley came up and produced the hit in the pinch. His clean single scored Davidson, and when Dunn fumbled the ball, Stamp w«s also enabled to score. Sukin took tlurd on a passed ball an4 came hotn^ q 4 Cannon’s error. W hen the pitcher thv«w wild in an attem pt to catch Stillwagon a t second, Fotcy scored,

e fifth inning had seen five runs to P r ^ l ' s total, and the core to 1 in our favor.

llOWQver, could not see losing « oat'S ided score. As a

ter of fact, they couldn’t see losing at all until S tam p’s homer convinced them of the hopelessness of their task. In the seventh, eighth and ninth in­nings, the visitors produced fine ral­lies, scoring six runs to tie the score at 7-all.

In the tenth inning, neither team was able to score, but in the eleventh, both teams pushed men across the plate. P ra tt scored in the opening part of the inning, and when the Drexel team came to bat, they were one run behind and only one inning in which to score it. Tw o were out before a Drexel man got his foot on first base. Then Davidson reached second, and Stamp, the brilliant third- baseman, came to bat. The third ball he hit through first base for a home run. I t was a fine hit and c^me at the critical moment when it was just what needed to win the ball game. Stamp, Foley and Stillwagon each garnered two hits for Drexel, while McKee was P ra tt’s main offence with four hits. Foley’s brilliant catch of a long fly off the fence and the homers of Dunn and Stamp were the out­standing individual performances of the day. The score:

TRACK TEAM WINS OPENING MEET WITH

TEXTILE SCHOOLDrexel officially opened its track

season in a dual meet staged with Textile on April 17, a t the home field. Drexel won the meet by the score of 78 to 48. K. C. Smith and Wooley were Textilei’s two largest point- scorers. Smith won both the hun­dred and two-tw<enty, vl|hUe Wooley gathered a first, two seconds and a third. Between them they accounted for twenty-two, or nearly half, of T ex ­tile’s points. “E d ” Clark was the largest point getter for Drexel. He won three first places—in the 220 low hurdles, high jump, and broad jump, and one second place, in the quarter- mile. George Proctor, this year’s cap­tain, took first i{i the pole vault and second in the broad jump.

Floyd Austin, a Freshman, pulled a surprise by winning the mile run. Austin’s final sprint carried him over the mark just about a foot in front of Roux, a Textile man, who was, in turn, about the same distance in front of Antes. Antes came through with first place in the two-mile, although hard pressed by Carpenter,

Several promising runners appeared from the Freshmen class. Smith took t«c«nd in the hundred and third in the

javelio throw, and Neely fioiahed iec<

GIRLS’ RIFLE TEAMThe feat of the team in taking third

place in the National W om an’s In- tercollegiates, losing to the veteran teams of University of Maryland and Purdue by only three points, brought to a close a m ost successful season. Over thirty teams were entered in the Intercollegiates,' including Cornell Penn State, Illinois, Idaho, Cincinnatti Gettysburg, Northwestern, Michigan and Delaware.

During the season victories in dual or triangular shoots over W est V ir­ginia, Depew, Cornell, Ripon, M ary­land State, Syracuse, Illinois and Dela­ware, were registered.

The team was defeated in shoulder to shoulder shoots by both George W ashington and Maryland Universi­ties, in both cases by narrow margins.

Starting the season with a nucleus of two of last year’s veterans. Miss Rosamund Bounton, Capt,, and Miss Elizabeth Ensvvorth, Manager, the new candidates practiced faithfully, mid­season finding few equals in inter-col legiate circles, to such shots as Eleanor Metcalf, Helen Knisely, Ruth Ballard and Ardys Ackerman. The team was well balanced, the targets of Grace Jones, Mayom Vollmer, Margaret E d ­munds, and Gracft Wood many times being found among the five high. Marion Kemp, starting late in.the sea­son, 8how«d rapid improvement bid­ding fair to win a place on next year's team. Great ^ e d i t is due to Misses B oynm t a«d ^naworth, not only for

WOMEN’S ATHLETIC COUNCIL NOMINATES OFFICERS

A t the monthly meeting of the W om en’s Athletic Council nomina­tions were made for next year’s of­ficers. The nominees for president are Betty Darlingtoo, Min Rodruck, and Ann Robinson; for vice-president, Elizabeth Ensworth, Ruth Sutherland, and Grace Keeler; for secretary, Helen Knisely, Elizabeth Lummis, and Mil­dred Bruen. The elections will be held in the later part of May.

Washington at Mt. Vernon is used in the scene which Arnold is reprimand­ed. Costuming done by Van H orne and Son.

Drexel has put forth her greatesteflFort to produce something worth­while, to make her contribution to the Sesqui-Centennial one of the best. Faculty and students are striving equally hard to make this production having a cast of 150 characters be the biggest event of the May festival

THE PAGEANTThe May fesitvities will come to

a grand climax Saturday night at 8 o’clock when the curtain rises on the first episode of our Pageant. ^

These “Historical Episodes of Revo­lutionary Philadelphia” are to be a very appropriate and elaborate pro­duction in keeping with the spirit of the Sesqui-Centennial. They start with a scene very pleasing to the eye which sets forth the Philadelphia protest against the “Tea tax.” An elaborate Colonial drawing room will form the background for the delicate Colonial society women sipping rose-leaf tea from dainty China cups.

Next we see Mr. Altmaier a jolly Ben Franklin afix his signature after John Hancock’s well known scrawl (in tru th he is Mr. W anner). In like manner, for the entertainment of fhetr students Mr. Stratton, Mr. Hanson and Mr. Urquehart will conduct them­selves.

Then quiet shall reign! For the next episode is laid at Valley Forge, a touching snow scene of hardships and discouragement in which that leader of liberty, Thomas Payne de­livers a stirring appeal to our pa­triotism just as he did to W ashington’s soldiers.

Mr. McKee is most capable in creat­ing the proper mood when he is found at prayer by Isaac Potts.

As a direct contrast we next find ourselves lost in the pomp and revelry at the co.urt of Louis X VI, in which real French is spoken by Mr. Magne as Louis X V I and Katherine Fasset as Marie Antoinette.

And then, when at the height of our breathless appreciation we are imme­diately forced to laughter at the rollick­ing take off on the Battle of the Kegs.

T o-carry on the mood we next find our coy maidens out scrubbing their marble stoops. W ho knows just which Drexel beau brummel will find himself well reprimanded by a pail of very dirty water.

The Minuet! How could the page­ant end without it? But this bath­room scene is to be more spectacular than any you have ever viewed, with the gorgeous costumes which the Ladies and Knights of the Burning Mountain will wear. The social whirl of Philadelphia at the height of its luxury is set forth with the British soldiers, Colonial ladies, Oriental slaves and trumpeters to make the scene more effective.

For the final episodes, we first see W ashington as* the spirit o f Congress reprimanding Benedict Arnold and then the three glorious happenings in which Cornwallis surrenders.

A new stage has been constructed with all the necessary equipment of wings, lighting, scenic effects—in fact everything which will promote a per­fect staging. Mr. Brown, a profes­sional decorator is supervising this work. Mr. McKee has charge of pro­duction. Dr. H all the staging and Miss Chapman the cottumes.

ALUMNI NOTESHOME ECONOMICS ALUMNAE

ASSO. HOLDS MEETINGAt the Home Economics depart­

mental meeting it was explained that the recently organized Alumnae Club had held educational classes during the year, including courses in Current Events and in Parliamentary Law, and had taken care of the social interests of our alumnae in or near Philadel­phia and brought the alumnae of all departments closer together. I t was therefore, voted “that the Home Economics Alumnae Association be discontinued and our efforts be directed to the promotion of the general Alumni Association and the Drexel Institute Alumnae Club of Philadelphia and Drexel clubs in other cities.” I t was voted that the sum of $100 and in­terest in the Loan Fund be given to the Alumnae Scholarship Fund, and the balance of $27.95 in the general fund be given to th eDrexel Institute Alumni Association. Esther Steiger, ’22, and Mrs. David A. Tucker, (Ethel Van Dyke) ’16, were re-elected as dele­gates to the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association.

SECRETARIAL ALUMNIA t the Secretarial Alumni meeting

it was voted that the association be discontinued and the alumni give their entire support to the general Alumni Association and the local clubs. Irene Gerlach, ’22, was elected a three-year delegate to the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association, to succeed Isabel Blackburn, ’21, and Mr. Robert J. Lehman, ’05, was chosen for a one- year term to succeed Christine Brei- hof, ’12.

REPORT OF THE ALUMNI SECRETARY, APRIL 2 5 ,1S2«Since April 1925, the Alumni Office

has completed .the installation of the new filing system for our permanent alumni records; checked the addresso- graph file and made the necessary new plates; published and distributed four Alumni Bulletins—June, October, De­cember and March; prepared a card file of alumni arranged geographically; co-operated with the Institute Com­mittee on Admissions in asking our alumni to co-operate with the Institute representative when visiting their sec­tion to hold personal interviews with prospective students—thus helping in the building up of a waiting list of first-class men and women desiring ad­mission to the institute, and received annual dues from some 480 alumni and ex-students. W ith 56 fully-paid life members and 113 who are making payments toward life membership, we have a total membership this year of 650. W e now have a life membership fund of over $3000. During the com­ing year it is my hope that we may be able to secure a membership of at least 1000 active members; increase our permanent fund to at least $5000, and keep our alqmni informed of the prog­ress of the institute and its graduates and ex-students through the publica­tion of alumni bulletins or by using the new Drexel newspaper, The T ri­angle, as a combined student and alumni paper, and also through the formation of more local Drexel Clubs which will meet at least once a year to talk over Institute problems and pleasures. 1 ask for your hfarty sup^ port in this work.' Respectfully submitted,

THE DREXEL TRIANGLE

ALIMNI DAY WAS GREAT SUCCESS

Three Hundred Graduates and Ex-Students Return to Alma

Mater for Brief Visit

Saturday, April 24th, was Alumni Day and over 300 graduates and ex­students returned to renew old ac­quaintances^ visit the Institute and take part in Alumni Day activities. At 3 o’clock the parade of reunion classes took part in the Great Court, led by Dirk Dedel, ’22. and the Drexel Ju ­niors—children of alumni and faculty. Music was furnished by the R. O. T.C. Band. Adele Beck, '96, wore a rose and lace gown with the sweep­ing train and “mutton*’ sleeves of the '90s. The Class of '01, -the old re­liables, brought their families with them and in gay headdress formed a bright spot in the parade. The women of 1906 did not join the procession, but W ilmer S. Kirk upheld the dignity of the class; 1911, led by Nellie M. Lotz, wore distinctice arm bands;1916 carried a very attractive banner and each member wore blue and gold hats. This is the largest class ever to graduate from the Institute and re­ceived the prize for the largest num­ber in the parade; 1924, representing a deck of cards, took the prize for cos­tume.

At the business meeting of the Al­umni Association the following elec­tions were announced: President, H er­bert E, Harper, ’22; Vice-President, Erskine Bains, '96; Recording Secre­tary, Sarah Suzanne Gates, ’23; T reas­urer, Clarence L. Johnson ’99; Alumni Secretary, H arriet E. Worrell, ’09, ’15. Honorary Members; Carl Lewis Al- maier, Mrs. W alter S. Brown (K ath ­arine F, Dill), ^nd A rthur J. Row­land.

D uring the banquet, which was served in the Court, the Alumni were delighted with a solo by Mr. Ryder. The Alumni then adjourned to the Auditorium to enjoy a piano solo by Mr, Thunder and talks by Dr. Mathe- son, Mrs. W alter S. Brown, and Dr.D. J. McCarthy, of our Board of Trustees. This was followed by a dance in the court. During the evening a telegram of greetings and best wishes to the assembled alumni from the Drexel alumni in Boston, was re­ceived. They held an alumni dinner in Boston under the leadership of Miles N. Clair, ’21. The pennant for the class with the highest percentage of active members went to 1922. The prizes for distance were won by Mrs Morty Bowles (Bertha E. Scharmann) ’16, of Montgomery, W. Va., and John T. Hawthorne, ’01, of Bridge- ville, Pa.

$40. in 1926-27, it was moved “T hat an effort be made to raise suflFicient funds to offer at least one scholarship of $100 for the institute year 1926-27, and the alumnae at once announced plans toward this end.

The following were elected as dele­gates to the Executive Committee of the club: Mrs. George F. Crichton, H. E., ’22; Miss Lillian A. Hines, Sec,, ’16, and Miss Elizabeth S. Stew­art, Lib,, ’23.

At a meeting of the Executive Com­mittee immediately after the general meeting, the following officers were elected for the coming year; Presi­dent, Harriet E. Worrell, ’09, 'IS; Vice President, Mrs. L. Blodget, '98, secre­tary; Bertha A. Helms, ’12; Treasurer, Lillian A. Hines, ’16.

ENTERTAINMENTW e were very fortunate in securing

A1 Miller to sing. His first selection was “Nancy Lee.” The people in the Spanish Court applauded many times for the popular song. As an encore Mr, Miller gave “Oh, How She Radi­ates On H er Radio,”

Additional entertainment was given by Evelyn Bean, who is a sister of Margaret Bean, of Ashville, N. C, Miss Bean did a very charming in­terpretative dance, in costume, to the strains of the “Blue Danube,”

ALUMNAE CLUBThe Alumnae Club of Philadelphia,

th club organized last Alumni Day and to which all Drexel women in or near Philadelphia are eligible, adopted the following resolution:

That all money raised for the perm­anent scholarship fund be turned over to the institute for investment; said money to be kept as a special fund to be known as the Maude G, Hopkins Scholarship Fund and the income only used to assist women students in the

, instute who are in good scholastic standing and who have demonstrated their earnestness of purpose and financial need.

T hat the awards be made by a com­mittee composed of the President of the Drexel Institute Alumnae Club of Philadelphia, the Institute officials in charge of the admission of women students and alumnae representatives of each of the departments for women students, said representatives to be appointed by the president of the A lumnae Club.

T h a t in return for such scholarship a student may be asked to give some assistance in the Alumni Office during the year, provided such work does not interfere in any way with her duties as a student of the institute.*'
