One of the Armour
boys was forced to retire from the
game when a collision rendered him
unconscious on a trip to third. Out-
side of that the game was a very in-

cause Armour came out on top.

All aboard! At 10:00 o'clock the
squad including players,

North Shore Bus Line and rolled

\‘along the highways to DeKalb. The

trip was taken with keen interest,
and those who attended can Well
vouch for that. Some elected to View

ture, a few the rendition of old har—

to the old army game, seven and a

half. In all, the trip was a most ap-
petizing one, for when the boys ar—

Prof. Huntly ls Senior’s
Toastmaster At Banquet

About one hundred Seniors attend—
ed their class banquet last night in
the Italian Room of the Allerton
Club. Professor P. C. Huntly acted
as toastmaster for the last social
function of the Class of ’28. Short
talks were given by speakers chosen
from the prominent men in each of
the courses.

Entertainment was furnished by
the “Two Graces,” a very clever song
and dance act, and by several special-
ty dancers. After dinner, bridge and
golf were the mediums of amuse-
ment. The Allerton Club boasts of
the largest indoor golf course in the
world, which made it possible to com-
plete with Mr. Bogcy. Prizes were
awarded for the best scores turned in
by the bridge wizards and golf bugs.

At the same meeting, E. Percy
Boynton, ’30, was elected to'bc Busi—
ness Manager. For the position of
Photography Editor, Philip Kiellgren,
..31,».was. chosen.

The other positions have as yet not
been filled, because of the fact that
there have been no outstanding can—
didates applying for them. The prob—
able procedure to be followed will be
to ask for volunteers at a future
Press Club meeting, and make the
election from the list of applicants
thus received.

The positions on the Cycle staff are
ordinarily filled by Juniors, with the
exception of the Editor-in-chief, who
is a Senior. An exception was made
in this election when Kjellgren was
chosen for the Photography, since
his work as assistant on the present
staff was considered so exceptional.

Semestermliour
Credit System
To Be Adopted

A new system of recording- grades
has been devised by the Deans’ 0f—
ficc and will be put into effect next
September with the opening of the
fall term. Under this system a se-
mester—hour will mean one—third of
the total time spent on a particular
subject, both in the classroom and in
preparation. Thus, a student cred-
ited with a semester—hour in a cer-
tain subject will have spent one hour
a week in the classroom and two
hours a week in preparation, or two

hours in the classroom and» one hour

in preparation throughout one semes-
ter. .

For example, the requirements in
Calculus II are four hours per week
in the classroom and eight hours
preparation. This totals twelve hours,
which, divided by three, reduces to
four semester-hours. General Liter-
ature requires but one hour per week
in the classroom and no preparation
and is, in consequence, equivalent to
one-third of a semester—hour. Each
of the present courses at Armour is
arranged to total about 140 semes-
ter-hours over a period of four years.

The new system represents a large
amount of work on the part of the
Deans and has been decided upon
after a careful analysis of the prob
lems of both the instructor and stuv
dent. The abilities and limitations
of the “average” student have been
duly taken into consideration in de—
termining the amount of time re—
quired to prepare a subject adequate
ly. The instructor, with the tabular
View of courses before him, can see
at a glance the amount of work re—
quired of the students in each course
and make his assignments according-
ly. The student also is enabled to
“check up” on an instructor and as—
certain whether or not he is assign~
ing more work than the program per~
mits.

Another object of the system is to
enable officials of other colleges to
compare the amount of work requi»
site for graduation at Armour lusti~
tote with their own requirements.
The problem of accrediting the work
done by a student at another school
is thus greatly simplified.

The annual Open House night will
be held at the institute Monday
night, May 14. Shops, drafting
rooms, and laboratories will be open
to the public. No regular classes
will be held, but some regular experi-
ments will be performed in addition
to special features which most of the
departments are planning.

The foundry is usually one of the
biggest attractions of Open House.
A class of freshmen will pour a num—
ber of molds. In addition, the core
ovens and apparatus for making
molds will be open for inspection.

All of the laboratories of the
Chemical Department will be work-
ing. The Junior Chemicals will run
a test on boiler water and will also
show the industrial process of water
purification. Prof. Freud’s Sophos
more Chemical class will be making
and purifying tri~nitro-toluene, pic-
ric acid, phenol, and chloroform.
Both chemicals and non—chemicals
will be working in the inorganic lab-
oratories. The chemicals will be do—

will be analyzed for both anions and
cations. The other Freshmen, work-
ing in quantitative analysis, will de»
termine the percentage of iron in
samples of ore, the quantity of car-
bonate in various baking sodas, anti
the percentage of silver in an alloy.

Most of the machines in the Ex»
perimental Laboratory will be ope-
rated. Prof. Huntly’s department will
run tensile and torsion tests on bars
of steel and cast iron. Concrete and
wood blocks will be tested in a crush—
ing machine. With available pres}

Larson instead of going direct to
Schenectady will continue to Pitts-
field, Mass, about fifty miles south.
east, where he will engage in test
work on transformers manufactured
there by the company. The test
course will cover a period of nine
weeks. He will leave for Pittsfield
