PROGRESS OF FUND
$3,000 Pledged
Although the ;iliinini of Slate
College are just beginning to get the
machinery of their dormitory fund
in motion, approximately $3,000 has
been subscribed or pledged already.
The alumni plan to raise $300,000
with which they will build .the very
best sort of modern dormitory for
State. The slogan of the drive is
"Give or Get $100,"
The general plan of organization
is to place a chairman in charge of
the work in eacb county of the state.
The chairman will direct the work of
her captains who are local officers
within the county. There will be a
captain for every fifteen alumni in
the county, About eighty per cent,
of the county chairmen have been
chosen and have accepted. Many
report that they have already been
able to procure their captains, It
has been decided to write individually
to those alumni who arc not taken
care of by this system. The statewide drive has not been started yet,
but as the machinery is in order, results will not be long in coming.
The issue of the Alumni Quarterly,
which will come out this week, is
devoted entirely to the dormitory
drive. It is illustrated, and it contains letters endorsing the dormitory
project from Dr. Finegan, Dr. Finley,
and Dr. Graves. Moreover, there
will appear numerous testimonials
from people interested in the various phases of education on what our
State College people do.
The organization and work of the
Albany committee is especially interesting because of the number of
people that must be reached. There
are four hundred alumni of State
in the city of Albany. Five chairmen: Miss Minnie Scotland, Miss
Mary Isdcll, Mrs, Grover Long, Mrs.
Elizabeth Ogsbury, and Mrs. C. A,
Woodward have general charge of
the work. They plan ways of earning money and securing publicity.
They then distribute the literature
and tickets for their various projects
through their captains, who are about
forty in number. The captains plan
to get in touch with their people.
The activities of the Albany committee are numerous. They will preContinued on page 4

The badge is a paper clip, stuck
in the coat lapel. The vow is "Be
a good fellow; get something for
nothing," and the purpose of the mysterious now secret society is to enrich the members through confessedly petty graft. The Shifters, organization which ilms spread so rapidly in New York in recent weeks,
has found its way in a comparatively
short! time to practically every largo
city in the eastern part of the
country. It has penetrated nearly
every high school in New York.
One principal said that every one of
his pupils was a member of ill. It
lias spread to many of the colleges,
one of which is Princeton, where
shifters are as numerous as Hies in
summer. The numbers there have
multiplied by leaps and bounds since
the hrst member appeared a week
ago.
What purports to be headquarters
of the society of Shifters is at 303
Fifth Avenue, Now York, Upstairs
the society occupies rooms with
a "jewelry" manufacturing concern,
the Shifters' Emblem Company,
This firm produces a small enamel
pin, with which it hopes to rival
the paper clip commonly worn.
The by-laws of the Society of
Shifters, which Miss Robinson-Smith,
the president, made public last week,
are as follows;
"The Shifters arc an organization
of brotherly and sisterly love,
"To hecomc a member :
"Make ,thc initiate put his right
hand over his bead and left hand
over his heart.
"fie or she must promise to be a
good fellow or sister and to help
other Shifters at all times.
"As a fee the initiate pays anything
asked for by the person bringing
him into /the order."
After meeting these requirements,
the ritual continues:
"Password1—T have paid my check,'
"Hand shake-—Place the palms of
the hands together, but not closing
the hand, then put hand in the coat
and say: 'Be a good fellow, get
something for nothing.'
"As this is a secret order, all persons must promise not to divulge the
foregoing signs, etc., of the Shifters.
"Yours truly,
"John Doe,
"Official Shifter."
Since Che Shifter Society has
passed from the status of harmless
fad to that of dangerous craze, it
has 'been condemned by high school
principals on the ground that it invites informalities, promotes cordiality, and gives opportunity for indiscriminate acquaintances.
NOTICE
Any student who is proposing to
teach next year and wants assistance
from the Appointment Bureau should
file credentials immediately and make
out an application.
Seniors who have not filed their

there were to be many young men
and maidens at this festival, and they
planned to meet each other there,
And vviheti the young maiden made
her plans, she took care ihat she
should meet only young men and
maidens for vvihoni she cared exceedingly,
'Now when one young maiden
spoke to her concerning the festival,
she looked oh her with scorn and
said unto herself "She is not of
tts." Then to the maiden she replied, "f shall be very busy at the
festival." And when another came
to her, she gave thought to the mat-
ter and considered that those with
her would be strange, and so the
answer was, "I shall be very busy at
the festival." But there came to the
young maiden another maiden for
whom she . had affection, but she
dared n o t to make a promise to her
for the festival, for the other maidens with her had commanded that
she promise to them,
And in all of the festivals of this
maiden's life, she made promises to
the same maidens. And when she

CLARK STUDENTS FIGHT
FOR ACADEMIC
FREEDOM
Worcester, Mass., March 24, 1922—
At Clark University in 'this city there
is a revolt of the student body which
suggests the wrathful days of 1775-6,
and the indignation of t h e colonists
against the crown.
On the evening of March 14 Dr.
Scott Nearing spoke under the
auspices of a student organization
As soon as they had recovered
sufficiently from their amazement,
the students who had arranged the
meeting, accompanied by Dr. Nearing and followed by part of the audience, led the way out of the hall
to a nearby fantcrnity house, where
the lecturer finished his address.
Dr. Atwood's sud'den action came
as a great shock to the students.
T h e m e e t i n g had been scheduled
since D e c e m b e r ; Dr. Atwood had a s signed t h e hall in wihich it was
to be held and1 had granted the
privilege of charging adimission; he
had made a disparaging remark concerning the speaker at the time of a s signing the hall, which evidenced the
fact -that he was acquainted with D r .
Ncaring's philosophy. Later, in accounting f o r his action Dr. Atwood
said to the reporters, "I closed the
meeting because there were so many
of our undergraduates' present.

Dr. C. P. Steinmetz expounds this theory. Raindrops retain on their surfaces electrical charges,
given off by the sun and other incandescent bodies.
In falling, raindrops combine, but their surfaces do
not increase in proportion. Hence, the electrical
pressure grows rapidly, Finally it reaches the limit
the air can stand and the lightning flash results.
And now we have artificial lightning. One million
volts of electricity—approximately one fiftieth of the
voltage in a lightning flash—have been sent successfully over a transmission line in the General Engineering Laboratory of the General Electric Company.
This is nearly five times the voltage ever before
placed on a transmission line.

Much valuable knowledge of high voltage phenomena—essential for extending long distance transmission—was acquired from these tests. Engineers
now see the potential power in remote mountain
streams serving in industries hundreds of miles away.
Man-made lightning was the result of ungrudging
and patient experimentation by the same engineers
who first sent 15,000 volts over a long distance
thirty years ago.

naturally would feel a responsibility
for their hearing further statements
such as were being made by the
speaker."
Dr. Nearing's address was an attempt to show that the dominant interests in any society, in order to
protect
themselves,
get
control
of the opinion-creating forces,—
the press, the pulpit, and the schools.
The authorities referred to by him
were Bryce's "American Commonwealth" Part S, and Veblen's "Theory
of Che Leisure Class." Clark students are chuckling over the fact
that Thorsten Veblcn is Dr. Atwood's
brother-in-law, and has 'been invited
by the latter to lecture at the university.

the situdent point of view, ±1css

alike resent the attitude of President
Afcwood at the meeting last night.
Nothing could better illustrate and
prove the argument of the lecturer.
We feel that Dr. Afcwood has violated the essential spirit of Clark,
which has always been exemplified
in freedom of speech."
Students Summon President
By Wednesday morning the excitement of the meeting had spread
throughout the student body, and the
local newspapers were whetting the
interest of the public. At the instigation of three of the students
—not members of the Liberal Club
—the president of the Student Body
called a meeting to discuss the affair.
T h e men who precipitated this action
