YALE ALUMNE WHEERLY
(Continued from sixth page.)
ship, we can well afford to place the
two departments on equal footing so
far as facilities for broad culture are
concerned.
I believe, moreover, that such an en-
largement of our Scientific School
would result, not in diminution of the
classes, but in a marked increase of
numbers of both departments. We
would retain all the advantages and at-
tractions now drawing men to Yale,
with the addition that our Scientific
Department would then stand on an
equality with the best in any universi-
ty in the country.
Thus, as we look about us, we may
discover that it is no mere sentiment
that is driving the more thoughtful
men to ask for an extension of the
curriculum to four years. It has_ be-
come almost a necessity, if we would
retain our place of leadership in high-
er education; a step which seems _ to
those who discern the horizon of the fu-
ture to be the inevitable outcome of
the things that now are.
It is a movement, which the mem-
bers of Sigma Xi, who are chosen as
standard bearers of the best ideals of
the Scientific education, are called
upon seriously to consider. We should
thoroughly examine the whole question,
and form our own judgment as to the
expediency of the plans. If it is not for
the betterment of the School and the
University we should, strenuously’ op-
pose it; if it is, we should be the first to
see how it can be accomplished and
should do what we can to initiate, or-
ganize and direct the machinery neces-
sary to its accomplishment, as we
should be in the fore front in any move-
ment of progress within the University.
Although original research stands for
us as the crucial test of genuine mas-
tery of science, we shvuld not forget
our duty as loyal sons of Yale, to de-
fend the interests of our side of educa-
tion in every part of this great Univer-
sity, and our side will always be the
side of progress, of growth, of adapting
of the old to the new. It is for us also
to have a jealous care for the best in-
terests of the training and development
of all such students as have like
tastes, like preparations and like am-
bitions with ourselves; and if we are
convinced as to the right course to
take regarding the question, should we
not take positive and united action in-
stead of waiting for others to act?
But I have presented only my own
view of the case; you may not all agree
with me. It is certainly not to be wish-
ed that such a step be taken without
the approval of just such a body of
men as you are, and I Joffer these
thoughts for your reflection. What
shall we do in the matter?

Infallible Figures of Science,
[Hartford Courant. ]
Occasionally science must admit fail-
ure. - One night a young man in Di-
vinity Hall at Yale, undertook with a
toy rifle to hit a lamp. But his aim
was poor and the ball passed through
the window of an eminent and vener-
able professor of science and embedded
iiself in the wall. This was the oppor-
tunity for the professor and for sci-
ence, He, too, set to work and com-
puted the curve, and with the exact
skill of infallible figures he traced the
ball right back to the room of an in-
nocent colleague who didn’t even know
the rifle had been fired. The unfledged
minister flatly denied all knowledge of
the affair. Rut men, even ministers
have been known to make denials in
self defence, and the professor had the
proof with him. There was the bul-
let, there was the marks of its course,
and there was... the computation
worked out. It locked as if a pulpit
career was to be nipped in the bud.
But the guilty student heard what was
going on. He called on the professor
confessed the offense, pointed out that
the man of science was 200 feet out in
his computation, and advised that the
matter be dropped right where it was.
And that was done.

WHAT IS
oe ts
X-ODE is a product of electricity. It forms on
asbestos while being electrically treated in a
solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothing ppm substance, which
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every
nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode
penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etce., yield to its infin-
ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years.
