ALUMNAE NIGHT.
When (he London String Quartet
appears in Albany on March 3, the
musical public will hear interpreters
of chamber music whose prefect
ensemble is something approaching
an achievement.
The name of this organization
has been chiefly associated with the
works of Beethoven; but their interpretation of other masters, from
Mozart to Bach lo 'the present
day ultra-moderns has mot with
equal approval from the critics.
Their combined lone is so full of
opulent beauty, the listener is often
inclined to believe them symphonic
in size. One wonders if chamber
music would have so s'lowly come
into' its own here in America if these
four young artists had appeared
here earlier in their career.
Alumnae night at State: College
was last Friday nigtit, February 24,
The girls' alumnae team played the
girls' varsity team in the college
gymnasium.
The score was 21 to 11 in favor of

As everyone knows, there is a
vacant lot between Stale College
and Albany High School, This is
dirty, unsanitary, and is used for a
garbage heap. 11 is a bad-smelling,
worse-looking place.
A bill for the buying of this lot
for State College' is now waiting lo
be voted on in the Senate of the
State Legislature. The passing of
it will be of great advantage to
State College, Milne High School,
and the City of Albany.
A building, which will contain a
large gymnasium for girls, a
library, reading rooms, and practice leaching rooms, is planned. In
this way State? College will gain the
necessary room for her growing
population.
Milne High School
will Ibc in a building by itself and
have sufficient opportunity for expansion. The City of Albany will
gain a well-cared for lot of which
it can 'be proud.

They will arrive in America November first and are booked solid
from coast to coast, their toxtr only
giving them an opportunity of having three New York recitals. •
CAGE B A L L
GAMES
Game Postponed
A cage ball game between the
sophomores and juniors took place
in the gym, on Monday afternoon,
Feibruary 20, The juniors won by
a score of 21 4o 9. Miss Bennett
was the referee.
This is the second defeat for the
sophomores. The only part of the
game in which they excelled was
knocking the ball out of bounds
and down behind the 'stall bars.
The juniors surpassed their opponents in their well-organized playing; it showed the practise that the
sophomores lacked. Betty Renner's
work for the juniors is especially
worthy of commendation.
A cage ball game was scheduled
to be played between the seniors
and freshmen Wednesday, February 22 but due to lack of members
to fill out the teams the game was
postponed until a later date.
The New York Alumni
Branch will hold its annual
reunion at the Aldine Club,
Fifth Avenue, New York, on
February 25. The dinner at

STUDENT MORALE
A new theory has been set forth
by State College students, It is
that so long as their own characters
are not worth considering, neither
is the character of State College
worth considering*. The lirsi assumption has been proved by the
action of Slate College students.
A Slate College student, to lie a
regular one and in good standing
among the official rowdies of
"Stale," must be as low-brow as
possible. When any State College
function is mentioned, he 'must use
the official word, "Raz-z.-z-berrics."
Me must insinuate that "State" is
a "rotten hole" anyway. And by
his desires, he expresses his idea of
a college by "Jazz; oh, jazz—and
llie vamp." In his ideal college
the language would lie built
around "Raz-berrics/'the 1 occupation around "park dancing,' and the
people admitted must be as vulgar
as possible. ^ Since the State College Student is not in die vaudeville

Dr. Croasdale reports that llie
present statistics of the Hi'lirmary
Fund show that approximately 130
students have not paid 'their infirmary tax. Already $300 have been
spent and about 12 people have
been taken care of at the Albany
Hospital. The fact that so much
has already been spent is due to
the epidemic of influenza which has
been prevalent at State.
The student body voted unanimously 'to support the infirmary
and it seems that the actual support
should be no less whole-hearted.
Perhaps the people who have not
paid their 'tax are ones who are
never ill and think it is useless to
prepare for future emergencies.
But even if we do not feel that wc

should remember that this is an'

STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Here is a short resume of the
discussion of the honor system.
It's 'to get everyone prepared for
another forum of the same kind.
The Student Assembly of Friday,
February 17 was given over to a
forum, at which the question—
SHALL
STATE
COLLEGE
HAVE AN HONOR SYSTEM—
was discussed. The debate was a
spirited one as the majority of the
students, made familiar with the
question through the "News," had
formed decided opinions. The first
speaker, Mr, McCluer, maintained
that the honor system was an ideal
tiling but Iiardliy practical. For
his experiences in schools where
the honor system had been adopted,
showed him that it is not only the
violators who impede its success,
but those who shield them. One
student who sees another cribbing
will never stand up and publicly
announce the fact. And as private
denunciations do not seem to go
hand in hand with honor, there can
be no perfect honor system until
tihis is remedied,

; We don't know exactly. Wc do know that electricity

In dynamos and motors we apply electromagnetic effects.
All our power-stations, lighting systems, electric traction and

depend upon these magnetic effects which we use and do not
understand.

The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company
investigate magnetism by trying to find out more about electrons and their arrangement in atoms.
X-rays have shown that each iron atom consists of electrons
grouped around a central nucleus—like planets around an
infinitesimal sun. X-rays enable us to some extent to see in io the
atom and may at last reveal to us what makes for magnetism.
This is research in pure science, and nothing else. Only thus
can real progress be made.
Studies of this kind are constantly resulting in minor improvements. But some day a discovery may be made wlv'.ch will
enable a metallurgist to work out the formula for a magnetic
alloy which has not yet been cast, but which will surely have
the properties required. Such a result would be an achievement with tiemendous possibilities. It would improve all
electric generators, motors, and magnetic devices.
In the meantime the continual improvement in electrical
machinery proceeds, in lesser steps. These summed up, constitute the phenomenal progress experienced in the electrical
art during the past twenty-five years.

LONDON STRING QUARTET
Continued from page 1
The London String Quartet was
formed in 1908 iby Mr. Albert Sammo'ns, and after 27 rehearsals gave
its first performance in Bechstein
Hall with much success.
During the war the Quartet made
a specialty of "pop" concerts at
which the general public became
most interested, and larger audiences resulted. At all of these concerts the programs consisted of
classic, modern and some English
works,
One of the chief features of the
quartet has -been to give the works
of English composers, and in so'
doing many interesting compositions have been brought out.
Those given in this country immediately received recognition.
In 1917 Mr. Summons gave up
his work with the quartet, and Mr,
James Levey took his place, and is
today recognized as the leader of
the organization, In both Stockholm and Christiania the royal family made it a point to attend one
or more performances. In Paris
the quartet met with line success,
and in Amsterdam one concert
was entirely composed of English
numbers. In Spain the quartet met
. with the greatest success ever given
a foreign organization. Barcelona,
Madrid, Cadiz and other cities
greeted them with capacity houses.
While it has always been the desire of the London String Quartet
to further the works of new English composers; the works of the
old masters have always enjoyed
a. prominent place 011 their programs. The Beethoven cycle has
been featured in both New York
and London.
While in Sweden a new quartet
by Stenhammer was procured, and
also a Spanish Work by Joaquim
Turina.
The featured new work in London was a quartet composition by
Fritz Krcislcr, and the world's
greatest violinist was present at its
premier.
Mr. Levey and his associates
have returned to America, this time
to play all the principal cities in the
country. Before leaving New York
he said: "Without doubt New
York is the greatest musical center we have ever visited. The great
mass of music performed here is
amazing, and we wonder where
the great audiences come from.
Our reception has been wonderful,
and now we want to see this great
country more than ever."
STUDENT ASSEMBLY
(Continued from page 2.)
Miss Baker, on the other hand,
said that this public denouncement
was one of the strongest assets of
the system. She declared that it
would never be necessary to resort
to this drastic measure twice in the
same case as the student would
either .give up his cribbing or
change his college.
Miss Wilcox took issue with Mr.
McGluer's statement that there was
not enough group spirit to put the
honor system through. She said
that if this spirit docs not now
exist, it would after the adoption
of the honor system. For a student
who cribs, lowers not only his own
morale, but the whole college
standard. Personal feelings for individuals should come second, then,
and love of fair play for State, first.
Miss Rice took a vote to see
whether the «tudemts desire to continue the discussion at another
forum. The majority voted in the
affirmative,

comparison which is so true (and
that is why the guilty resent it so)

live parts, the first is called "Moonbeams"; second "Toad Stools";
third, "Tinkling Blue Bells"; fourth,
"Pixy Laden"; fifth, "The Ring
Dance." This work has been composed especially for this first New
York recital. Mr. Warner recently
won the Coolidge prize which was
played at the Pittsficld Festival
with much success and one of his
composition's rendered by the
quartet last season in New York
caused much favorable comment.
Mr. Warner is looked upon as one
of England's prominent composers,
his chamber music composition
winning the admiration of all music
lovers.

According to Dr. C. I'. Steinmetz,
the energy dissipated when a circuit breaker of this size automatically opens on overload, is equal to
the energy which would_ be consumed in a head-on collision between two 125-ton locomotives
meeting at a speed of 45 miles an
hour.
PICKING COTTON BY
ELECTRICITY
A device consisting of a farm
tractor equipped with an electric
generator, is being used successfully in the northern cotton belt to
pick cotton with electricity's aid.
Hollow flexible tubes reach out in
four directions from the tractor.
On the end of each is a set of revolving brushes encased in a small
metal frame, with an opening about
the size of a man's double fists, and
sufficiently large to take a boll of
cotton. The brushes are driven by
an electric motor through a flexible
drive shaft and revolve inwardly, or
toward each other. This creates a
comb-like movement which pulls
the cotton from the plant the moment it comes in contact with the
brushes. It is then sucked up the
hollow tube and deposited in a receptacle carried on the tractor.
Tests ihave indicated that the new
electric cotton picker makes it possible for a person to gather from
400 to 700 pounds of cotton a day
as compared with 70 to ISO by
hand.
