It is jubilant over the fact t h at the Illinois Central has electrified its tracks along the shore, between the tow ering skyline of Michigan Boulevard and t he brilliant lake. This is significant. For Chicago, the city made by the railroads, is now being made beautiful by the rail roads. Last September, the power was turned on, and the first electric trains sped over 37 miles of Illinois Central railroad. Now com muters ride more comfort ably, and in 15 to 40 per. cent less time. "I WILL" says Chicago's motto "WE DID" said the Illinois Central General Electric supplied all of the control equipment and t he air com pressors as well as 260 of the power ful driving motors used in the new electric cars of the Illinois Central. F u r t h er evidence of Chicago's im provement is shown in the G-E lights on the famous State Street "White W a y" and in t he thousands of G-E street lights all over t he city t h at are illumination. giving Chicago better Wherever G-E products go, their accomplishment arouses a just pride. The electrification marks an epoch in the evolution of Chicago, for the city's improved area will be en larged and property values increased all along the elec trified line. It will have a far-reaching effect on resi d e n t i al i n d u s t r i al a nd the developments, and on ultimate beautification of the entire lake front. S u ch s t o r i es of c i v ic improvement are becoming m o re n u m e r o u s. P u b l ic spirit and co-operation plus electricity can accomplish marvelous changes in any community.

No such value can a gathering of be attached alumni with varied interests in the world. No commercial enterprise will benefit through the meetings the on the Campus on June 11, conversations of small groups, the class dinners, the baseball game. As far as the world of business and industry is concerned it will not gain in the smallest degree. But renewing the ardor of youth, gaining stimulus from what you hear about your classmates, the opportunity of clasping the hand of one who has made good in any field is a chance not to be missed. For, after all, the success of busi ness, industry, education, research, depends upon the initiative, the energy the unstinted application of individual effort and this must be strengthened in the meetings of an alumni group. Whatever personal benefit one may reap through being present on June 11 may be added that which the College will gain, and to lay can that Doubtlss individual the alumni organization aisde as profits on Alumni day. the is the one who receives the great er share of the rwards from such as he bene a gathering, but It is worthy fits so do the others. of every consideration the College is marking its 70th anni versary this year; it will have been in session 70 years on May 13, and that is a milestone of importance, but the chief value of the date lies in the opportunity presented to those who have enriched their lives through the offices of their alma mater to return and renew their their refresh loyalty, pledge of viewpoints on the physical aspects of the College and live over again with their classmates the outstand ing events of College days. The right of suffrage was finally granted to man because he insist ed upon it. The privilege of vot ing in the elections of the Associa tion was granted without a battle and thus it may be held too cheap ly. At any rate, the proportion of members voting is far below the figure it should reach. Up to April 20 any twenty members of the As sociation may present names to be added to the ballot which will be prepared using the names present ed by the two committees. On May 1 ballots will be mailed to all mem bers in good standing. You are entitled to vote if your dues are paid up to July 1. Bills have re cently been sent out showing the amount it is necessary that you pay to achieve this distinction. If you have not forwarded the speci fied amount there is still time, but if your dues are not paid to July 1 by May 1 you will not receive a ballot to register your choice in the elections this year. It is all very simple; to vote you must be a member; to be a member you must pay the dues assessed by the Asso ciation.

The first game of the winter term was the first high light of the season. It was then that the Drew- Colvin-Felt-Dickeson-Hood combi nation its potential power when it nailed the visitors in an overtime game. State men took Lake Forest into camp, 39-30, in a game that was designated as the feature game of Lake Forest's home season, but were unable to hold up against Marquette the next night. Butler, who in early sea son trounced the Spartans, was the East saved from defeat on last minute Lansing court by a blocked shot which netted them four points when both free throws tallied. The game was a furious exhibition lof brilliant basketball. After beating Detroit once on the home court, the Spartans were forced to drop a close game, 27- 30, on the Detroit court. Proba bly more thrills per minute were registered in the Pittsburgh game than in any other. After dealing Michigan its first defeat, the Penn sylvania team nearly had the ta bles turned on them at East Lan sing in a 32-34 game. The varsity won from the alumni, 36-24. The alumni were represented by Hack- ett '26, Kurtz '20, Brown '18, Fri- modig '17, Eva '25, Gilkey '25, Ramsey '20. Individual honors for the sea son go to Capt. Kenneth Drew, who replaced Charles Frederick as pilot after failure of the latter to make the grade scholastically, and to Vern Dickeson, forward. Drew is credited with 667 minutes of playing, followed closely by Dick eson with 619 minutes. "Dick," however, was the outstanding scor er, registering 162 points. Coach VanAlstyne looks to the present freshmen squad for able material for next year's team. Five powerful, speedy forwards are in sight. Two good centers have been developed and are worthy of consideration. With comparatively few of the veterans and new men interested in foot ball, the coach hopes to get in some telling pre-season practice. two guards Awards for the season just past are as follows: MAJOR LETTERS Drew, Kenneth L.
