With and equipment complete and for use, those who have desired to follow arts and letters have been forced to include science and mathematics to an extent where they would be entitled degree to whether or not that was their goal. As a result the College has lost many prospective students. science ready a The question is asked, ''How can a col teaching the for fitted lege fundamentally the proper for training sciences provide an arts degree?" It is not so difficult as it sounds. F or years students have been following modified courses in the sciences, taking the minimum of required work for the 11. S. degree and specializing in those the suc courses which ordinarily qualify cessful student for an A. B. their In work for the various science divisions the departments teaching branches of arts and letters courses have been developed to a high point. M. A. C. is rated high in its history and political economy, economics, English, art and music departments which have been serving the entire college. They have reached the point development where they need no further overhauling to instruc give the necessary training. T he tional staff is sufficiently trained to handle the work, to be thoroughly utilized so that it may grow in efficiency. With its equipment, sur accomplish roundings, its atmosphere of ment and its history of achievements the College will prove an ideal training ground for the person who specializes in the arts. Not only will the new opportunity for ex tending its influence benefit the college, but the broadening influence of such a course will aid in the development of those who follow the more technical lines of study. it needs more students its of Literature, music, painting, history, so ciology, economics have a definite place in that the education of every youth. They ac complish certain purposes in rounding out a character. M. A. C. may as well have the credit for the work it does as to allow it to be said, justifiably, the courses given here offer as much in general train ing of the individual as in his specific education. No longer need the line of distinguished lawyers, writers, doctors, trace their training to graduate schools en tirely.

The occasion was registered as a success with the out comment even on the novelty of situation, drawing no notice those seekers after the unusual, the newspapers. The meet was the customary sort except for the fact that men's and women's events were alternated through the program. It is notable that the inauguration of such an event found the college merely keeping up instead of surpassing with public opinion it as might have been the case several years ago. from The M. A. C.

Record COLLEGE RADIO STEADY DEVELOPMENT Former Navy Men Prominent in Getting Equipment Into Shape—-Cost Small Sum Erecting a broadcasting station which reaches most of the United States east of the Rockies and covers a wide area out side the boundaries of the country was not accomplished in a year. T he present ap paratus is the result of constant work over a period of years and some of it was used in the original station which worked dur ing wartime under the call of "8YG." In its earliest days it was used only for wire less telegraph but finally it evolved into a modern radio outfit capable of doing as effective work as some of the largest sta tions in the middle west. F r om its first conception in the winter of 1917-18 the station has witnessed vicissi tudes enough to discourage most animate things. It was put into operation during the year and talked in telegraph code with points in the east and middle west, even reaching a ship at sea while in its earliest stages. Paul G. Andres, '18, did the first work on preparing the equipment and was the first operator. He had seen service as a wireless operator in fhe X). S. navy and returned to college to complete his work. For a short time after graduating Andres remained in charge of the station, develop ing it insofar as the funds would allow but his services were in such demand that the College could not hold him when offers of better pay were made by commercial con the cerns. He Automatic Electric company re sponsible for many of the latest improve ments in the automatic telephone and other appliances. is now an engineer with is and in improving Andres was followed by Ralph Wyckoff, '20, who early evinced an interest the problems of communication through the air and proved adept at the effi ciency of the station. Following the win ter of 1920 until early in 1923 there was the plan for broad little done to further casting apparatus, I. Phippeny, the engineering division who had entered the previous fall, took over as a freshman then F. the work and it has, within a few weeks, reached unbelievable proportions. Phippeny also gained his experience as a wireless op erator in the U. S. navy, besides doing ex tensive work in general electrical lines. than as an Various changes in equipment marked the advance of the station and the attempts of the different operators to improve it as much as possible. Started more as an ex perimental project instrument of service to the college and the people of the state, the station was crudely put to in the beginning. There were no gether funds the most modern ap to purchase paratus and at that time the manufacture of such supplies had not been started on such a large scale as it has reached with in the past few years. Professor Sawyer of the electrical engineering department, under whose sponsorship the work has con tinued, found it a matter barely within his jurisdiction as he classifies wireless as physics rather than electrical engineering. However, department funds were stretched until in 1920 a 250 watt vacuum tube was purchased and certain apparatus belonging to the department was utilized, forming the nucleus of the station which began oper ating last year. That was the most significant point in its development. F or a year work has been continued to make the station serviceable. in Bids were taken on the proposition of stalling a station. One company offered to erect one at a cost of $15,000. This sum was nowhere near the amount the college It was so could afford far to expend. that work was above the fund available temporarily abandoned but the efforts of Phippeny, aided by A. H. Levers, superin tendent of buildings and grounds, and P r o fessor Sawyer accomplished the impossible and the station was put into use this term with but little more than $3,000 invested.
