Th ese words of William Gay Ballantine,
so n of the revered Eli sha Ballantine, ;lnd
himself a memher of th e Indiana University
faculty at two different tim es, suggest th e
active interests of thi s man and refl ec t favor ­
ably on th e environm ent and training which

Educat ed in tJo e old cla ss ical tradition, he

H e read throu gh Spa ni sh and P ortuguese
gra mmars m erely to compare th ei r syntax
a nd vocabulari es witl, each oth er and with
Latin, French, and Italian. On e of his chief
joys wa s to help hi s grand children with
their home work in French and Latin, ~nd a
few months before hi s death at 88 he wrote ,
" I alii proud in the co nsc iOllsness of bein g
th e oldest teac her o f lan glla ges in Sprin g·

He wa s a co ll ege teacher of Greek at In­
diana Univ ersity, of Cree k, Hehrew, and Old
Testament 1,a ng; lIages and Lit erature at Ober·

in stitution. One of hi s Ob erlin student s said
of him: "He taught one more Hebrew in a

It was, however, of hi s 22 years se rvic e ~ s
professor of ril e Bibl e at th e Int ernational

fa sc inating mann er, the anthor givin g th e

th e presid ent s as they journey tog eth er to
th e birthplace and later to th e tomb of that

Not onl y are th e 29 deceased president s

Roosevelt and hi s immediat e predecessor,
H erbert H oover, hot I, have a chapt er de·
voted to th em. In fact, those co mpri se th e
fir st two chapt ers in the book.

Each thumbllail sketch is mark ed by

p ersonality of th e presid ent. Tribute, t.oo, is
paid to th e wives who contributed in no sma ll
meas ure to th e preparing of their hu sbands
for the grave responsibilities of tlo e presi .
dency. It is int eresting to note that se ven
wives of form er president s are now livin g
whil e th ere is but one ex·presid ent alive.
Th e allthor takes pardonahl e pride ill

from t.h e Jront of the schoolroom on to

Ex"",ining
The Work in Astronomy at Indiana University Many Outstanding Astronomers Received Their Training On the Campus-Three Observatories Now Being Used by the University By Professor Chauncey Sanders
(From Data Compiled by John Lynn Smith, '42.)
I
THOUGHT when I wrote about the Department of
Chemistry that chemistry is the science of which ] am
most co mpletely ignorant; I had overlooked astronomy.
Talking with people in the Depa rtm ent of Astronomy-and
doing a little cramming via the Encyclopaedia Brilallllica­
1 encountered such ex pressions as parallax, u'a nsits, altazi·
muth , precession, and parameters; and those word s are just
not in my vocabulary. Even if] kn ew what they mean (and
I did lea rn what a transit is) , I dou bt that I should be mu ch
farther along.
Astronomers of necessity deal with concepts that are be­
yond my mundane grasp. They tell me that the sun is more
than 90,000,000 miles from the earth and that it takes light
eight minutes to travel that distance. For light from the sun
to reach its most r emote plan et, Neptune \ most remote,
that is, except the recently-discovered Pluto), requires four
h ours; but for light to travel from the sun to the nearest star
takes four years. If I kn ew where to look for the co nstel·
lation Andromeda , and where in Andromeda to look for a
particular spot of light, I could go out some clear night and
marvel at the fact that light which I saw had started on
its way toward the earth 900,000 years ago. But to marvel
at such ideas is all I can do; I can't really comprehend
them.
I do kn ow, however, that the field of astron omy is one in
which Indiana University has made more than its share of
important contributions; it is a field, moreover, in whi ch
important contributions are still being made, not only by
the men here on the ca mpus, but also by those who, inspired
and in some instances trained at Indi a na University, have
gone out from here to ca rryon their work.
Astronomy has had a place in th e University curriculul1l
almost, if not quite, from the beginnin g. In 1831 the mem­
bers of the j uJli or class were to "finish" mathematics and
study "Mechanics, Astronomy, Physics, Mathem atical and
Indiana Alumni illagazine
Physical Geography." The instruction in astronomy was
doubtless given by John H. Harney , Professor of Math­
ematics and Natura] and Mechanical Philosophy and Chem­
istry, who surrendered that magnificent title the following
yea r to become Professor oE Math emati cs and Astronomy
at Hanover Collegc. Professor Harney was succeeded by
Dr. Ebenezer Elliott as Professor of 'Mathematics and
Physics. When Dr. Elliott resigned in 183G to becOllle
President of Mississippi College, Theo philus A. Wylie
became Professor of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry.
Through the years astronomy retained its place ill the
course of study , som etimes as part of the work of th e jUlli n)"
year but generally as a sellior course. Even in 1850, whf:1l
a distin ction was made between the "regular" course and the
"scientific" course, astronomy co ntinu ed as a requirement
ill both courses. In 1870 the work in astronomy extended
through two terms instead of being confined to one; perhaps
a change of textbooks- "Loomis" replacin g " Olmster!"--­
had something to do with the expansion. Not until 1Sg(';,
if I understand the catalo gues, when the major subjed
system was introduced, was it possible Jor olle to get <'
deg ree from Indiana University without having studip.<1-­
or at least "taken"-astrollomy.
From 1837 to 1886 most oJ the teachin g of astronomy
was carried on by Dr. Wylie in the Department of
Natural Philo:;ophy. But th e man who r eally put Indiana
University on the astronomical map wa s Daniel Kirkwood,
Professor of Mathematics from 1856 to 1886. Though he
had no telescope himself, Kirkwood, by using data obtained
by other sci entists, made important contributions to the
field of astronomy. He formulated the prin ciples pertaining
to the ga ps in the distributi on of asteroids and of Saturn's
rings. The latest textbook on astronom - the one now used
in University classes-gives Kirkwood full credit: "As early
as 186G, Kirkwood ca lled attention to wide ga ps in the
5
neighborhoods of mean distances from the sun where the
periods of revolution would be :\ and 1 of Jupiter's period;
narrower but well-defined gaps correspond to other simple
fractions_" Again his name is mentioned in connection with
the divisions in Saturn's rings.
The scope of Kirkwood's reputation is indicated by the
(act that when R. A. Proctor, the well-known English
astronomer, gave a course of six lectures at the University
in February, 1880, he said that it was to see Kirkwood that
he had come to America. Another indication is to be found
in the experience of Joseph Swain. A student under Kirk­
wood, he decided to become an astronomer and went to
Scotland to study at the University of Edinburgh. The
astronomer there did not want to be bothered with this
young American; but when the latter produced a letter
of introduction from Daniel Kirkwood, the atmosphere
changed completely.
During his tenure of the Professorship of Mathematic",
1856-1886, Kirkwood published more than a hundred
articles and books on astronomy; even after his retirement
at the age of 72, he continued his scholarly activity, and a
score of publications appeared between 1886 and 1895, the
year of his death. One of Kirkwood's articles, "The Aster­
oids between Mars and Jupiter," published in the Annual
Report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1870, is con­
sidered to be of such importance that it is reprinted in
Shapley and Howarth's A Source Book ill Astronomy.
Kirkwood is described by Dr. Bryan as a large, heavy
man-an easy-going teacher, and a participant in faculty
meetings only to the extent of moving to adjourn. His great­
ness as a teacher was due to his ability to stimulate, to in­
spire such men as Swain, who succeeded Kirkwood as Pro·
fessor of Mathematics and served as President of the
Dr. Frank Edmondsoll at work with lhe photometer.

University from 1893 to 1902.
John A. Miller, '90, LLD'2H, was another student of
Kirkwood's who Ilecame Professor of Mathematics at I n­
diana University. In 10lJ5 his title was changed to Professor
of Matheltlatics and Astronomy, and he continued in thnt
position until 1906, when he resigned to go to Swarthmore
College as Professor of Astronomy and Director of the
Sproul Observatory. Professor Miller hns made many studies
of eclipses of the sun, and served as chief of expeditions to
Spain, Mexico, Sumatra, and Peru. He is the author of two
textbooks and of many contributions to mathematical and
astronomical journals. His early studies were on double­
stars; later he initiated work on stellar distances which is
still being carried on at Sproul Observatory. He has been
Professor Emeritus since 1932.
In 1901 Professor W. A. Cogshall, AM'02, was brought
to the Department from Lowell Observatory, where he had
been working on double-stars; and he continued that work
with Professor Miller. Of Professor Cogshall's work with
telescopes something will be said later; but this is as good
a place as any to pay tribute to Professor Cogshall for his
interest in student affairs. During his long service on thc
Union Board and in connection with other activities, hc
has never 10f't sight of the student point of view; nor has he
ever hesitated to fight-when fighting was necessary-for
the students' best interests.
From 1916, when the Department was renamed the De­
partment of Astronomy, until 19,38, Professor Cogshall was
the only faculty member in the Department; but Professors
K. P. Williams and Agnes E. Wells, of the Department of
Mathematics, helped out by giving courses in astronomy.
Miss Wells took her doctorate in astronomy at the University
of Michigan. Most of Professor Williams's research has been
in the field of astronomy; he has recently published a paper
on the transits of Mercury, based on his collection of all
the observations made by other astronomers. Part of the
shift apparent in these observations can be accounted for
by relativity. Professor Williams has also published a
widely-used textbook, The Calculalion of the Orbits of
Asteroids and Comets.
In 1938 Dr. Frank K. Edmondson was added to the
Department as an instructor. Dr. Edmondson, who did his
undergraduate work at the University, took his AB degree
in 1933 and the AM in 1934; Harvard made him a PhD in
1937. One of the unusual things about Dr. Edmondson's
career is that he published some papers in his field while
he was still an undergraduate. He has recently published cl
study of "Stellar Kinematics and Mean Parallaxes" and
one on "The Motions of the Globular Clusters and the
Galactic Rotation." His work is referred to in Baker's
Astronomy, and he is mentioned several times in Smart's
Stellar Dynamics; of some 25 astronomical constants given
by Smart, one is the discovery of Dr. Edmondson. He is
now working on statistical investigations leading to knowl­
edge of stellar distribution and is also studying the color
of stars whose light passes through interstellar dark clouds.
We have seen that the work in astronomy at first con­
sisted of a single one-term course, lengthened in 1870 to
cover two terms. In 1390 Profe"sor Swain taught astronomy,
The March 1940
and in 1391 the work was taken over by Robert 1. Aley,
who an llounced in that year that the co urse would th ere­
a fter be more difficult- There were no classes in as tronomy
for the next fiv e years. Th en Professor Miller too k charge
and in 1903 several new courses were added. The Depart­
ment now offers more than a dozen courses.
Two fellowships are ava ilable at the University in thc
fi eld of astronomy. The Lawrence fellowship prov ides for
the maintenance of a g raduate student at the Lowell Observ­
atory at Flags ta ff, Arizona; th e other fellowship , instituted
in 1933, enables the holder to work at the Goethe Link
Observatory at Brooklyn , J IIdiana. Th e Link Observatory
is equipped with a 36" reflecting telescope, the largest
within a radius of 250 miles. Dr. Jalll es Cuffey, of Harvard
University, is th e present incumbent of the Link fell owship.
Dr. Cuffey reported on the work he is doing at the meeting
of the American Astronomica l Soc iety held last December;
he also ha s an article in Popular Astronorny.
Astron omy is one field in which machin es are almost as
important as men . Without telescopes and ca meras and o the.·
instruments for making and recording observations, the
astronomer would be unable to co nfirm an y of hi s theories.
What has Indiana University in the way of equipment?
first of all, we have observatories and the privilege
of carrying on work in a third. In 1900, Professor Miller,
with the enthusiastic cooperation of President S wain ,
brought about the erection of Kirkwood Observatory, ;]
memorial to the great professor. from purely sc ientific
co nsiderati o ns the Observatory should have been located
farther away from town, where there would be less inter­
feren ce from residential and street li ghts; but the locatio n
decided upon had the advantage of being within a few yards
fr om Professor Miller's home on Indiana Avenue. The
Observatory contains an office, a lecture room , a dark room,
a transit room ( with a new Gaertner transit, a Howard
sidereal cl ock, a sidereal chronometer, and a chronograph­
whatever they are), and a dome room, with a hall immedi­
ately below it. In th e dome room is a 12-inch refracting
tel escope, the objective by Brashear. It is of hi gh optical
excellence. The mounting is by Warner and Swasey of
Cleveland. The focal length is 16 feet , with a magnification
of from 130 to 1000. Th ere is a polarizing helioscope, a
diagonal zenith prism , and an electrically illuminated filar
micrometer.
I II 1903 Professor Cogshal\ designed and constructed '1
IS-inch reflectin g telescope which was in use here for two or
three years. Last s ummer he worked on anoth er telescope
of the Schmidt design, now used at the Lowell Observatory _ '
A new observatory, some fo ur miles southeast of Bloom­
ington, was erected in 1936. In this is installed a 24-in ch
r efl ectin g telescope which is the only one of its kind ever
constructed. Professor Cogshall made the mirrors according
to the design worked out by Schwarzschild, a German as­
tronomer. When Swain Hall is com pleted , the Department of
Astronom y will have room for much-needed expilns ion. Th e
new building will provid e three offices, a photographic
laborato ry, and a photometer room. (The departmental
ph otometer is now ho used, for lack of a more convenient
place, in the basement of the School of Music building.)

The reputati on of Jndiana University's Depar tment of
Astronomy does not depend solely upon the work carried
on in the past by Professo rs Kirkwood and Miller, nor yet
on that still being accomplished by Professors Cogshall and
William s and Doctors Edmondson and Cuffey. The Depart­
ment ca n justly claim some share in the work of th ose who
had all or part of thei r training here. Among these are some
very eminent men.
Francis Preserved Leavenworth, '80, AM '83, was Profes ­
sor of Astronomy first at Haverford College a nd later at the
Univers ity of Minnesota.
J. C. Duncan, 'OS, AM'06, took the PhD at the University
of California. He was an instructor at the University in
1906-07, Fellow at Lick Observa tory, 1907-09, Instructor
in Astronom y a t Harvard University, 1909-] 6, and has been
Professor of Astronomy and Director of Whitin Observatory
at Wellesley College since 1916. He is a life member of the
American Association for the Advancemen t of Scienc e, a
member (and, from 1936 to 1939, secretary) of the Ameri­
can Astronomical Society, and a member of the Maria
Mitchell Association, the Societe Astronomique de france,
the Sociedad Astronomica de Mexico, and of Sigma Xi.
He has published a textbo ok, Astronorny, and many articles
in learned journals.
Carl Kiess, '10, also took the PhD at the University of
California. After three years of teac hing at the University
of Missouri and at Pomona College, he entered government
service with th e Bureau of Sta ndards; since 1929 he has
been senior physicist of th e Bureau. His discovery of comet

Three other Indiana University graduates in astronomy
may well be grouped together because of their work at Low·
ell Observatory. V. M. Slipher, '01, AM'03, PhD'09, LLD·
'29, also has honorary doctorates in science from the Uni·
versity of Arizona and the University of Toronto. Going to
Lowell Observatory as astronomer in 1901, he became as·
sistant director in 1915 and has been director since 1917.
Dr. Slipher was awarded the Lalande prize and gold medal
by the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1919; the Henry
Draper gold medal of the National Academy of Sciences
in 1932; and the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical
Society in 1933, in which year the Society also chose him
to be the George Darwill lecturer. The Catherine Wolfe
Bruce gold medal was awarded to him by the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific in 1935. Dr. Slipher is a member of
the National Academy of Sciences and of the American
Philosophical Society; an associate of the Royal Astronom·
ical Society (London); a fellow of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences and of the A.A.A.S.; alld a member
of the International Astronomical Union, the American
Astronomical Society, the Societe Astronomique de France,
Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi.
C. O. Lampland , '02, AM'05, LLD'30, went to Lowell Ob·
servatory as an astronomer in 1903. He was assistant to
Dr. Percival Lowell in observations of the planets Venus;
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. He has given special attention
to photographic observations of planets. He was an ex·
change professor in astronomy at Princeton University in
1929. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences and of the A.A.A.S., and a member of the
American Astronomi cal Society, the International Astro·
nomical Union, the American Physical Society, the Mathe·
matics Association of America, the American Philosophical
Society, Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi; and an honorary
member of the Sociedad Astronomica de Mexico. Hi.,
photographs of the planet Mars WOIl for him the medal of
8
the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain in 1907.
E. C. Slipher, '06, is the younger brother of V. M.
Slipher. He has specialized in photographic observations
of Mars. The latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Britan­
/lica prints, ill its article 011 " Mars," a number of photo­
graphs taken by Dr. Slipher. The editor of the article is
apparently not willing to agree with Dr. Slipher's in­
terpretation of the phenomena shown ill the photographs.
But there is no lack of enthusiasm in the report made by
the secretary of the American Astronomical Society on the
December meeting of the Society. He wrote: " ... the high
point of the technical program was reached when Dr. E.
C. Slipher exhibited photographs of Mars which he obtained
at the Lamont.Hussey Observatory in South Africa."
Perhaps the most important work that has been done at
Lowell Observatory under the direction of Dr. V. M. Slipher
has been the discover)! of the rapid rotation and the
enormous space velocities of the nebulae; such studies fur·
nished the observational basis for the expansion of the
universe theory suggested by Einstein's theory of relativity.
The most publicized work, however, was the discovery ill
1930 of the planet Pluto. The groundwork for the discovery
lay in Percival Lowell's hypothesis that anomalies in the
motion of Uranus could best be explained by the existence
of an unknown planet beyond Neptune. The first person to
see the new planet was C. W. Tombaugh, a member of the
Lowell Observatory staff; but the work which led to the
discovery, work which involved years of observations and
calculations, was largely that of Indiana men-the Slipher
brothers and Dr. Lampland, with contributions also from
Professors K. P. Williams and J. C. Duncan.
When I read that the brilliance of the planet Pluto is
equivalent to that of one candle 400 miles away, I was
willing to give the Lowell Observatory men all possible
credit for a feat that must make looking for a needle in ;t
haystack comparatively simple; but whell I read further
that the temperature on Pluto is lower than -200 c., I ques­
tioned whether a place with a climate like that is worth dis­
co vering. I don't know just how cold that is-I once knew
but have long since forgotten how to change Centigrade
to Fahrenheit-but I know that after the winter we've been
having, it's too cold for me.

The" Why" of Crime Studied By Dr. Sarah Ritter Brown, '10 I.U. Alumna Completes Detailed, Four-Month Survey of Lives of 100 Prisoners m Norfolk City Jail IN con trast to fictional criminologists whose purpose .is
to asce rtain the "how" of c rime, Dr. Sarah Ritter Brown 's
obj ect ive in a recent study was to discover the "why" be­
hind the actiolls of criminal s and delinquents.
A graduate of the class of 1910, Dr. Brown recentl y CO li ­
eluded a fo ur-months' resea rch project into the lives of 100
prisoners in the Norfolk, Va., city jail, and the results of
her investigation provid e new a nd valuable data about
cr im e and its prevention. Dr. Brown, a psychologist and
sociologist, was sponsored on thi s project by the Co-opera ­
tiv e Council of Norfolk Method ist Churches in its suppo rt
of th e Crime Prevention Bureau movement "to promote a
better understanding of th ose inclined to break the law."
In condu cting the resea rch on c rime and its causes, Dr.
Brown gave simple intelli gence tests to the prisoners to
measure their mechani cal insight and interest. The same
test was gi ven to 100 persons engaged in normal civil
pursuits in order to offer a ba sis of comparison between
criminals and law-abiding citizens .
Below l'formlll Intelligence
Results from the intelligence tes ts r eveal that 25 per cent
of th e pri soners examined were below normal intelli ge nce,
a nd nea rly all of these were illiterate. Further, 42 per
cent reached only the lower no rmal level. Those with less
ab ility and intelligence, Dr. Brown asserts, find it ha rder
to make a living and the refore are more susceptible to
crlJne.
H owever, according to her report, it is not the intelligence
sco re that counts so much as wh at is done with the abiliti es
possessed. For example, a woman of distinction in church
and community leadership made a score of 72. An othe r/
woman in jail on a narco tics charge made the same score .
The hi ghest score mad e by an individual ill both groups,
stran ge as it seems, was m ade by an inmate of the Nor­
folk .iail!
Dr . Brow n's report also listed ca uses of crime as in­
ferred fr om records of and interviews with the prisoners.
These causes are listed in two gro ups, those for whi ch the
individu al appeared to be at blame, and those which society
partl y is responsible for.
U nd er the first group, Dr. Brown discovered fiv e basi c
ca uses of crime-namely, (1 ) heedlessness, thoughtless ness

into crime as a career; ( 2 ) unrestrained human passions;
(3) the lure of "things" and "easy money"; (4) jealousy
of the ostentatious ri ch and (5) utter disregard f or la w
and order.
Causes of crime for whi ch society bears part of the r e­
sponsibility, Dr. Brown lists as : (1 ) dearth of train in g
in practi cal judgment and pursuits, in choice of fri end ships,
and in moral judg ment ; (2) the ver y real difficulty of the
times and ins ufficie ncy of jobs a nd pay, and (3) "Soc iety's
heedlessness of hum an waste."
Recommends "Individualized Training"
RecoJllmendations for the prevention and arrestment of
crime also was included in Dr. Brown's report. The re­
spo nsibility for th e educat ion of the youth, she poi nts out,
lies with th e schools, the hom c, co urts and the church . In
th e sc hool she advocates a n individualized education based
upo n the und erstanding of each child-his particular
abilities and diffi culti es. School programs, she further rec­
om mends, should be enl arged to teach skill in th e h a ndi­
c rafts so that those wh o will work effectively und er super­
vision may be train ed to do so.
Persons who deal with criminals have a respo nsibility
of education throu gh schools and colleges by special co urses
in sociology, criminology and penology. This responsibility
also is shared by legislators a nd judges, especially the la t­
ter , Dr. Brown asserts.
Dr. Brown received the PhD from the University of
Chicago. She has tau ght at Wesleyan College, Macon , Ga.;
Huntington Coll ege, Montgom er y, Ala.; and at Sooch ow
University, China. She is a member of th e American
Psychological Associa ti on and a fellow in th e American
Association for the Advancement of Science. At present
she is teaching priva te classes ill English literature a nd

Construction began in March of
1927. Three months later the steel work
was started, and by November the plant
was co mpleted and had begun opera­

Of Tour of Alumni Clubs
A
S WE go to press, President Her·
lllan B Wells is on the final leg of
his extended tour of alumni clubs fr om
coast to coast. Durin g his two-mo nth

sands of alumni to acquaint them with
th e ob jectives of the University and th e
plans for achievi ng those objectives.
During th e first ten days of F eb­
ruary President Wells visited Eastern
clubs at Dayton, Ohio ; Columbus, Ohio;
Washin gton, D.C.; New York; Boston;
Cleveland, and Detroit. At each place
large crowds of alumni turned out to
hear the President.
From F eb. 14 to 23 , Wells confined
his visits to clubs in Indiana, visiting
Muncie, Marion , Anderson, the In­
dian apolis Wom en's Club, Logansport,
Peru, Kokomo, Goshen, Elkhart, Michi­
gan City, LaPorte, Gary and Rennse­
laer. Here again he was greeted by large
turnouts.

I.U. Alumni Are Active
In Philippine Education
Filipino m School Here Tells 01 Work 01 Salvador, Bocobo and Cayco I
HAVE often been asked why I have
been sen t to study at Indiana Uni­
versity_ I was not sure at first, but
now I know the answer-it was the in­
flu ence of Celedoni o Salvador, '22, Di­
rector of Educati on of the Philippines.
In 1938, when he received his appoint­
ment as Director, the first Filipino to
hold that position, editorial comments
chorused a unanimou s endo rsement of
the choice. Two educational journab
congratulated him , the Primary Educa­
lor and the Philippine Teachers' Digest,
hoth edited by Florentino Cayco, '21 ,
now president of National University
(at Manila ) . Both th ese men were in
Indiana University 19 years ago, both
looming in a house at East University
Street on South Fess Avenue. N o w, to­
gether with an other alumnus, Jorge
Bocobo, LLB'07, Philippine Secretary
o f Public IJlstruction, th ey determin e
to a con siderable extent the course of
Philippine education.
All three have been pensiollados-­
that is, students on Philippine go vern­
ment scholarships. Jorge Bocobo was
o ne among the first group of pel/sioll-
Celedonio Salvador, '22
By Juan Laye . . .
.. . Graduate Fellow in English
ados sent to the United States in the
ea rly years of lhe America n regime.
Four years after his grad uation fr om
the Jndiana University Law School he
was made professor of the College of
Law, University of the Philippines. In
1916 he became dean of the College,
and in 1934 he assumed the presidenc v­
of the state university. H e was pro­
moted, in 1938, to the p o~ t of Secretar y
of Public Instruction of the COlTlmon­
wealth Government.
Secretary Bocobo has WOll local hon­
ors not only as an efficient adminis·
trator but also as a literary mall. Hi~
Guly efforts on the short story, essay ,
ane drama were one of the early p~ul)h
that Filipino writers co uld master Eng­
lish sufficiently to use it as a meditll1l
of literary expression. After him ha\ e
arisen a group of Filipin o writers in
English whose works, especially on the
short story, have won some reco gniti on
in the U t1ikd States, particularly hunl
Edward O'Brien , editor of the Best
Short Stories series. Jorge Bocobo has
now largely ceased purely literary activ­
ity , being burdened with public office,
but it is not inconceivable that he ma y
take up literary work again and fulfill
the promise in a collection of essays
and addresses called Streams oj Lije and
a collection of p1ays and short sto ries
called Radiant Symbol. These two books,
together with three others on Philippine
law , are in the Indiana University Li­
brary. For his work as administrator
and auth or of law books, he was
awarded the degree of LLD, hOI/oris
causa, by the Univers ity of Southern
California a few years back.
Celedonio Salvador came to Bloom­
ington with 12 years of experience in
lhe Bureau of Education, having been
school teac her, prillcipal , and supervis-

ing teacher. Upon his return to the
Philippines in 1922, he was des igllated
Acting Division Superintendent of
schools for the province of lam bales.
Three years later he was llIade a full­
fledged division superintendent. His
efficien cy as administrator was put to
the test when he became Superint end e n~
of th e Manila Cit)' schools in 1936,
taking the post mad e vacant by the death
of Harvey A. Bordner, once a resident of
Bloomington . His frequent clashes with
the Manila Municipal Boa rd in his fight
for more funds we re a sort of epic in
public sc hool finan cin g_ The g ru elling
experience with truculent City co uncil­
lors prepared him for the post of As­
s ista nt Director of Education, to which
he was promoted in 19:37. On June 1,
1938, he succeeded Dr. Luther B. Bew­
ley as Direc tor of Education of the
Philippines-the eighth in 40 years.
While on th e Jndiana University
campus, Celedonio Salvador was a
membe r of the Psychology Club, the
Spanish Club, the Travelers' Club, ancl
the Cosmopolitan Club , of which last
organization he was president for one
term. He graduated maglla clIm lallde
and won Phi Beta Kappa honors.
N o less brilliant is Florentino Cayco,
wh o earned the AB degree at Indiana
Un iversity in two years and won a
Phi Beta Kappa membership as well.
He later took graduate work in Colum ­

State Tourney Began
On Campus Bacl{ in
~ll
Boosters Club Sponsored Basketball Tourney Here for First Eight Years By Forrest Garderwine, '41
M
ARCH is th e month when all
Hoosierdom goes hilariously crazy
for a period of four successive
week-ends_ Some of the other 47 of
these 48 United States hold high school
basketball tournaments, it's true, but
in Indian a the State tournament almost
is a State religion_
If the rest of the country scorns In­
diana as a "basketball-whackey" state,
blame it on Indiana University_ For
the annual State Hi gh School Basket­
ball Tournament was conceived, founded
and nursed through its first eight years
of infancy by Indiana University stu­
dents an d facult y members_
Back in the spring of 1911, 12 high
schools, judged the best in their dis­
tricts, answered bids of the U niversity
Boosters Club to participate in a State
Tournament, the winner of which was
to be recognized as State basketball
champion. The Boosters Club had been
organized two years before, and ill
sponsoring the first State Tournament
it was done within the spirit of the
club's motto-namely, "To Boost All
University Interests."
The late Dr. Charles Pelton Hutchins,
who came to Indiana in 1910 to serve
as football coach, was an honorar y
member of the club, and it was partly
through his efforts that the Tourna­
ment was brought to the campus. He
was aided by Frank Elson, '12 , the late
Charles Nussell , ' 11 , Harry Johnston,
'11, David Delos Dean , LLB'l1, Ernest
Wilkins, LLB'l1, and other members of
the club.
Old Assembly Hall, which has since
crumbled before the march of Prog­
ress alld WPA workmen, was the scene
of the fi rst State net tourney , and it re­
ceived almost as much praise as the
winning team, Crawfordsville_ Sports

scribes covering the affair wrote lengthy
stories describin g the overhanging bal­
cony that allowed a seating capacity
of 1,500!
Enthusiasm and interest in the tourn a­
ment spread like measles in a country
school house, and the following year the
sectional
system
was inau gurated
whereby the winning teams in 16 dis­
tricts competed in the finals . Two years
later the Boosters Club "baby" had
grown into a man-sized youngster­
with 75 teams competing in the sec­
tional games.
In 1918 the annual scramble for the
Hoosier hardwood championship title
was staged in the newly-built Men's
gy mnasium . Although the new gym­
nasium offered greater seating faciliti es,
many disappointed customers were
turned away because of the large at­
tendance. It was at this tonrney that
the curtain was rung down on Bloom­
ington as a scene of the affair.
The foll owing year the tournament
was shifted upstate to Purdue Univer­
sity; and if Bloomingto n wasn't to be
the scene of the H oosier extravaganza ,
at least the championship was to reside
in Bloomington for a year. A de­
termined band of Bloomington high
school youngsters, bent upon obtaining
a sort ~f "poeti~ justice," battled their
way through to the final contest and
defeated (of all teams!) Lafa yette high

Geography and State Geologist, who
was a member of the Bloomington bas­
ketball team that year, received the
highly coveted Gimbel award, given
to the player displaying the best men­
tal attitude during the final play.
A lot of goals have swished throu gh
the hoop sillce the first tourna ment was
held; and in recognition of th e Uni­
versity's part in instituting the State
Tourney, the University's chapter of
Sigma Delta Chi, national professional
journalistic fraternity, has made plans
to erect a memorial hono ring the Uni­
versity and members of the Boosters
Club as founders .
Tentative plans call for a large lime­
stone marker, suitably engraved with
the early history of the Tournament and
with a bronze plate listing the hi gh
schools that have been victorious. The
memorial will be erected on the former
site of old Assembly Hall , where the
Tourney began, and Sigma Delta Chi
is planlling to invite 1940 State Tourna­
ment winn ers as guests for the dedica­
tion.

Student Go'v ernment
Drive Moves Slowly
Establishing a student government
system at I.U. is a long and slow proc·
ess, stud en ts on the campus are find·
in g out. As we go to press, the move­
ment which started in earnest last fall
nea red its second stage of devel opment
-a comprehensive survey of und erlyin g
fa cts.
The volunteer committee that has
guided th e movement decided that a
committee of 20 students would be nec·
essa ry on the survey committee to be'
appointed by th e President to study th~
problem here.
Backers of the drive expect th e su r­
vey committee, which will do work simi­
lar to that done by the Faculty self·
survey committee, to get under way this
month, the necessar y signatures to the
petiti on asking th e President to appoint
such a gro up having been obtain ed.

non-credit course, "Religions of Man­
kind," given by faculty members and
local clergymen.
Guest speakers for the three-day ses­
sions include Dr. William H. Powers of
Syrac use University; Dr. Ben Gerig, a
memb er of the Secretariat of the League
of Nations; Professor Paul A. Schlipp

All Freshman Co-eds
To Live in Dorms
'.
One of the most significant announce­
ments of the month was the one con ­
cerning freshman co-eds for next year.
All fi rst-year women students will
Jive in the University dormitories duro
ing their first year on the campus, this
being made possible by the new wom­
en's dormitories which will be com­
pleted by that time.
Whether sororities will pledge as
usual or defer their selection until the
end of the year was not settled as we go
to press, but in any event the prospec­
tive sorority members will r eside in the
dormitories the same as other fresh­
men.
The chief benefit of this new ruling
will be the advantage of instituting a
comprehensive guidance program that
will enable th ese newcomers to adj ust
themselves to college life.

Do Yon Tire Too quiekly? Some of Our Tiredness Is Mental, But Often There Is
Something Physically Wrong
"SON, I'm afraid you'll never amount
to much," said our collective
mother, "You get tired too qu ick." Pro­
vided one is reasonably intelligent and
has average health, he ought to get
along and even get ahead provided he
keeps plugging away. Everyone knows
that, but few of us can keep right on.
We get tired too quick.
Why do people get tired so easily?
There are many reasons. Tom is ilL
he is anemic and rundown. It may be
lhat he has T.B. , a chronic appendix,
sinus trouble or even a flock of hook­
worms. He gets tired because he ought
to get tired and go to bed.
Dick is WOl'll out because he has
broken-down feet and goes sagging
along like a car with four flat tires.
Harry has eye-strain. He needs glasses
or a change of job so that he won't
have to use his eyes so much. He gets
~plitting headaches and is all tuckered
out when he goes home in the evening.
When he gets half a chance, he qu its
early and doesn't get all his work done_
Mary is bored to death with her job.
She comes home exhausted , but when
the boy-friend calls, she can go to a
dance ~nd be the life of the party and
still rarin' to go at three in the morn­
ing. She was bored, rather than tired,
when she got home. When she was a
child, and went out walkins on a Sun·
day afternoon, poor old dad had to
carry her home. She was that "tired,"
but she could run and play with the
other kids immediately thereafter,
which was what sh e wanted to do all
the time.
Sometimes the job is too hard, or it
may be that it is unsuitable. Lounging
about on Sunday may make one as
"tired as if he had worked all day. "
Loss of sleep may be interpreted as
fatigue. A muggy, hot day in spring
disturbs one's circulation in such a
way that one feels all tired out. One may
be tired as a I'esult of psychological
suggestion. Marathon dancers at first
could keep going only a few days, but
finally they danced for as many months.

Sixth in
Series on Health . ..
... By Dr. Thltrman B. Rice, '14.
fI
They had learned not to suggest them­
selves into a state of fatigue. Many a
person thinks he suffers from fatigue,
when he really only has a bad case of
ennuI.
But there really is such a thing as
fatigue, and it's something that needs to
be understood. It can be good, or it
can be bad and should be treated ac­
cordingly.
The good form of fatigue may be
designated as normal or physiological.
It is the sensation which one has when
he has done a real day's work and
comes home "tired and hungry." He
feels more than a little proud of him­
self for having done his bit. "I worked
hard tada y. ] got a lot done and I'm
tired," says our hero. He expects the
homage and admiration of wife and
children and sends them after his pipe,
the evening paper and a drink of
water. Well, he deserves homage, though
he should remember that someone else
ma y be a bit worn, too.
At supper such a man eats heartily
and digests well because he has the best
of all sauces for his meat. When com­
ment is made concerning his amazing
appetite, he reminds his hearers, "That
shows who has done the most work to­
day." After supper he smokes his pipe,
sprinkles the lawn or watches the fire,
according to season. He glances at thc
paper, yawns a 'few times and says_
"Well, I guess I'll turn in. I've worked
hard today and I'm dead on my feet."
He sleeps like a log and comments on
the fact the next morning when he is
up and eager to get on the job again.
A great thing-a wonderful thing­
is this sort of fatigue. It is priceless, be­
cause it makes one feel worthwhile; it
gives him an appetite; it puts him to
sleep; and it gives a sense of self­
respect. Fortunate indeed is he or she
who doses his eyE's at the end of the
day knowing that he is of some ac­
count, that he is good for something,
and that he has made his contributio!l.
But there is a fatigue that kills. We
shall call it abnormal or pathological
fatigue. It sends a man home "tired
and cross" instead of "tired and hun­
gry." It takes away his appetite and
he is "too tired to eat." He tosses all
night and awakens worn out in the
morning. He is irritable and mean. His
wife and children avoid him as they
would a pestilence_
Poor fellow! Oh, ] know one wants
to kill him, but he really needs sympath y
and understanding. It's an awful thing
to be driven daily to the mill and to be
compelled to exhaust oneself at a task
that one loathes. It's heartbreaking to
see Necessity crack her whip and compel
her victim to stagger blindly on.
For those of you who dare to stop and
look about, there are certain danger
signs which should warn you to ease
up and change your ways. "And we do
mean you. "
1. If your job makes you "tired and
cross. "
2. If your disposition is changingfor the worse.
3. If you can't sleep.
4. If you are losing too mueh weight.
5. If you are "strung up too tight. "
6. If your digestion nnd appetite are
suffering.
7. If your job worries you.
For those who clare not ease up a bit,
or who cannot give up the job or thumb
their nose at the boss-well, ] hope that
there is laid up for them a crown of
gold and glory in the hereafter. They
have earned it-though it's likely they'll
appreciate a chance at the eternal rest
a lot more. Ulltil then, it behooves all
of us to be as tolerant and as sym­
path etic with lhem as possible. They
are the building stones on which is built
the comfort, welfare and safety of us
more fortunate folk who can look to­
ward the stars, because we are not com­
pelled to look toward the ground.

ex'95, of Crawfo rdsville, author of Old
F fIlnc e. (I ndianapolis: The Bobbs·Merrill

This book , the aUlhor stat es, wa s writte n
" for those wh o do not know Fr e nch history
rath er tlwlI for Ihose who do." It s exi s te nce
is du e to his discovery that the fo rmal his­
tories of Fran ce ar e not widely r ead. These
fa c ts explain the nature o f th e prese nt vol­
Ulll e. It allempt s no contribution to scholar·
ship, being based largely · upon hi stories al­
ready wrillen by e min e nt Fre nch scholars.
But it does att e mpt to prese nt acc urat ely the
story of modern Frl"nch in ea sily readabl e
form. In thi s r <,s pect the book allain s its
primary o],jec tive, Ihough the review er f eels
lhat in it s lan g uage the present. volum e does
not have Quite the charm and informality
of the author"s carli e r Old FfIlII CC.
Th e pe riod c uvered is t hat from Ri chel ieu
and L o ui s XllI to the e ve of the World War.
The book stop s with 1914 because M r. Coult er
beli e ves that an)' "ad equate account of France
from th e n till now would require :lnother
book. " As a mail e r of fact th e acconnt prac­
tic311y stops at 1875, for Ihe pe riod since ',h e n
is covered in only 28 pages . Th e old regime
of the Bourhon s receives 114 pagf'S; llw
revolutionary and Napoleonic p e riod, 12q
pa ges; and French vici ssil tides from Napul e(>n
10 Ihe establi shment of th e pre sent r e publi c ,

and military. It in c ludes also a di sc',,;siun .,f
social, eco nomic, and cultural d e vel o pment s
of the pe riod. Thc achi e ve ment s of Louis
Past e ur are point e d out as w ell a s tho se of
Napol eo n Bonapart e.
The aUlhor writes interes tingly, clearly, and
s ucc inctly of th e m e n and women, e vent s,
and forc es whi c h molded the hi story of

period is boiled down, it is, Mr. Coult e r main­

On Poetry
Songs from a Cricket·Ditch . By LLOYD Bor.·

Puhli"he r. 1939. Pp. 31. 10 cents.)
THE poe t H eine has so ,newh e re said,
"Lyrical po e try is much the same in ",very
age , as th e son g s of the nighljngales in .~ ve l'y
springtime." Of th e lyric poet, th e re fore ,
t here is I it tIe lI e w to be said. His w ork ,
ho wever thollghtful , or musi cal, or even in·
spir ed , seems slight. But he is perhaps th e
tno es t of poet s ; he is certainly the original
o ne. H e is alien the least r eward ed, IInles!;,
indeed, song is its own re ward with him , :.IS
with the nightingal es .
A note of realism, howe ver, mark s ',h e
lyrics in thi s sl e nder volume of verse hy
Lloyd Bolton·Mann, and stamp s them as work
of the pr esent day. The poet today c10 es no t
rise too high above the ground, nor hide
himself too dimly in a thicke t. H e speak s,

a cri c ke t-ditch. But for all that, h e strik es
the note which is familiar to e very age in

President Nears End
Of Alumni Club Tour
(Continued from page 12)
The Washington alumni club reports
that Dr. Glen L. Swiggett (see pag~
1[;) was to lecture on South American
problems at the monthly meeting of the
club on March 3 in the Kennedy-War­
ren Hotel. President John 1. Reinhard
also called an election for new officers,
having served creditably for two years
as head of the alumni club in the na­
tion's capital.
Other clubs holding regular sessions
include Terre Haute, Indianapolis
(men's and women's clubs) and Chi­
cago.
Officers of the clubs are urged to
report their meetings immediately to the
alumni office so that accounts of the
meetings may be printed in the Magn­
zine. Also notices of fUlure meetings
should be sent in to reach here not
later than the 20th of each month.
J.U. Alumni Are Active
In Philippine Education
(Contillued from page 13)
Philippines_ Three years ago he be­
came president of the National Uni­
versity (at Manila), the oldest non-sec­
tarian private university with approxi­
mately 36,000 alumni and an enroll­
ment of a little more than 4,500. He !s
the 73th alumnus of Indiana University
who is serving or has served as presi­
dent of an institution of higher learn­
ing.
Indiana Alumni Magazine
President Cayco also edits two of
three important educational journals ill
the Philippines, the Philippine Teach­
ers' Digest and the Primary Educator.
As president of an important university
and as editor of these two magazines, he
has much to say in forming Philippine
educational policy.
It is pleasant to think that these three
alumni of Indiana University are direct­
ing the education of more than 16
million Filipinos at a time when thc
utmost of ability is needed by the Com­
monwealth Government. Jorge Bocobo
and Celedonio Salvador directly, and
Florentino Cayco indirectly , control
policies of education; for, unlike the
U.S. Office of Education, which is merely
a service and advisory office, the
Philippine Bureau of Education is a
highly centralized system, and the Di­
rector of Education has no mere advi­
sory post. He has direct control over a
million and a half school children and
more than 29,000 teachers. In fact, he
is the very soul of the Philippine pub­
lic school system , having the powers to
establish primary schools in every town
in the Philippint?s, to establish night
~chools, to fix the salaries of teachers,
to fix the curricula for all public schools
under his jurisdiction. It is his job to
put into effect a refined educational
policy for the Commonwealth of the
Philippines-such policies as social
justice, national defellse, economic pro­
tectionism, individual liberty, citizen­
ship training, and representative gov­
ernment. His, inevitably, will be the
task of reorganizing the school system
when Tagalog will have been pro­
claimed definitely to supplement or to
supplant English as a language of in­
struction. Secretary Bocobo and Direr:­
tor Salvador will need all they got from
Indiana University-and more! - to
cope with that tremendous task.
I have had a chance to tal k to sev­
eral persons who knew these three when
they were on the campus. Mrs. Laura
Hippensteel, teacher in the East Hunter
School, had Salvador and Cayco for
roomers and tells endless stories about
them . Dean Smith of the School of Edu­
cation corresponds with these two
former students of his, now friends and
colleagues in educational administration
and comparative education. Dr. Cora B.
Hennel was with them in the Cos­
mopolitan Club, and the picture of Sal­
vador may still be seen in a Club album
which is at least a quarter of a century
old . As far back as 1907, Mr. Purcell ,
Postmaster of Bloomington, can still
talk about Jorge Bocobo, who seemed
to have made some reputation as orator
in those ancient days.
There will be other Philippine pen­
sionados to come to "old I.U."-if Di­
rector Salvador can have his way. For
one thing, ] know I am here and not
in any other university not only be­
cause Indiana University is an excellent
university but also because one or more
of these three alumni submitted sug­
gestions to the Office of the President
of the Philippines. And I know, too,
that next year, when I am not here any
more, another pensionado will be sent
to Indiana because Secretary Bocobo,
President Cayco, and Director Salvador
have themselves been on this camjJus
and they rem ember.

N
OW that th e building program at I.U. has progressed
as far as it has, the s ubject of providing appropriak
nam es for these new structures has been raised. Man y
persons feel that these new buildings s hould be named after
persons who have figur ed prominently in
Let's Bnild
the history of the University. For instance,
the new coed dormitories are named Forest
Tradition!
Hall, Sycamore Hall and Beech Hall; the
new men's dormitories will be named North
HalJ and West Hall, and the new million-dollar auditoriulll
is to be called the Hall of Music. These names are all ri ght,
but they d o nothing to keep alive the traditi o ns of th e Uni­
versity, to keep alive th e mem ory of many men wh o have
contributed much to its gro wth .
One outsta nding excepti on is the new physical science
building, which is nam ed Swain Hall in hon or of the late
Dr. Joseph Swain, form er president of th e Unive rsity. The
Illdiana Daily Student raised this question early las t fall ,
but few suggestio ns have been turn ed in. The Univer·
sity official s are favorabl y inclin ed to ward naming the new
buildin gs after J.U. g reat men, but they want su gges tions.
Here is on e opportunity for the alumni--partic ularly the
older alumni-to co ntribute to th e welfare of the University .
Let's have your s ugges tions for names of the vari o us new
buildings. We'll see that your suggesti ons get into the right
hands. Let's build more tradition at J.U.

ANY of us have mulled over in our minds as to just
what th e objecti ves of a good university should be.
But let us turn to President H erman B Wells for his co n­
ception of what Indiana University should be. These ideas
he has been givi ng to the alumni first-hand
on his ex tended tour of alumni dubs.'
"Quality,
" Quality , not quantity," is the basis of his
Not Size" desires for J.U. The purposes of th e Uni­
versily are threefold as co nceived by our
Pres ident: "To provide within its assigned a rea educational
fa c ilities beyond high school for Hoosier youths; to train
its students to beco me productive a nd partic ipatin g members
of a dem ocratic society, and to perform certain direct
servi ces for Indiana ci tizens, such as extension co urses,
visual education aids, and the likc."
President Wells points out that la rge enrollments have
not been stressed, feeling rather that th e quality of the work
the University is ca lled upon to do is more important th an
the mere qu an tity.
For th ose of us who would like to know what plans the
President has for raising standards still higher, he lists
the following objectives: "To continue strengthening the
U niversit y's fa culty by co mpetitive selection after th oro ugh
search; to strengthen g raduate instructio n and sc ientifi c
research; to develop further the University's libra ry ; -LO
expand the newly established guidance sy stem providing
for an individualized program of instruction for und er­
graduate students; to accumulate more scholarships and
fellowshi ps; to develop a broader arts program for the
benefit of the stud ents and the Sta te at large; to modern·
ize the administrati ve machinery and teaching procedure,
and to integrate closer the work of the Medical and Dental
Schools a t I ndi a napolis with the related departments in
Bloomi ngton. "
Those are your Preside nt's id eas for Your University!

ANY tim es persons not fav orably disposed toward Indiana Univers ity refer to it as " that Godl ess in stitu­
ti on." The basis for this charge, it seems, is the misappre­
hensi on that there is little or no reli g ious ac tivity on the campus. H owever , this is far from the truth, as one can see by colls ultin g the calendar of

At I.U.
Committee o n Religion, whose purpose it
is to co -ordillate the ac tiviti es of th e various
student religious groups.
A special non-credit course, "The Reli g ions of Mankind,"
has been sta rted this year on the ca mpus in respo nse to
student request. Th e co urse is taught by professors and
loca l clergy men , a nd it has drawn large student attendance.
The special religious program schedul ed for March 7-10
is another indication of the interest in religion at J.U. At
this time several outstanding speakers will be brought to
the ca mpus for a series of lec tures and disc ussions.
The very fac t that the University officials deemed it
lIecessary to crea te the Committee on Religioll to co-or­
dinate the activities of student reli gious groups is a good
indicati oll th at there is no lack of interest here at J.U.
