committee has taken a step which will make the prom of 1930 a memorable success dan murphy and his musical skippers from boston mass have been en gaged and words cannot express the type of music which this band can produce in the past the musical skippers have played at the cornell and university of pennsylvania proms so that it goes without say ing that this year will see a better u of b prom than ever before the committee is also extending it self in planning decorations for the ballroom which up to this time have been woefully lacking time is short to get that date and if it's encouragement

versity has experienced in ages there will be no more dead games and silent cheering sections if this picturesque group keeps up its present work at last wednesday's game the cheer leaders and the g m f section kept excitement high by using every lull of the game in demonstrating perfect cheering u b has waited many years for just such spirit it is understood that this blue and white mantled band is going to or ganize in the near future with strong capable officers the g m f should zoom school spirit to unknown regions this spirit if directed right would bring nation-wide recognition of the true worth of our alma mater business and industry constantly seek men of trained intelligence business and industry are seeking in constantly increasing measure for men of trained intelligence says colonel r j rees assistant vice president of the american telephone and telegraph company they look to the colleges and universities for ability and high capacity these employers expect to find men able to think and to work with trained intelligence analytical ability and sound judgment based on funda mental knowledge campus life de velops co-operation and the college education assists the student in clari fying his life's objective factors in college life which may indicate future success would be of great value to both teachers and em ployers if they could be discovered no doubt the courses of study are most significant a well-ordered cur riculum aimed at a definite objective is surely one of the best evidences of specific interest other elements are academic work extra-curricular activ ities and the necessity for outside work by many students the bell system studied the rela tion between scholastic records and business success for 3,806 men di vided into classes of the first tenth first third middle third and lower third progress on the basis of sal ary was the index since it was felt that in a large organization this was unusually accurate at the end of ten years after grad uating the men in the first tenth re ceived ten per cent more salary than the average at twenty years after thirty per cent more and at thirty years after fifty-five per cent more the lower third at thirty years after was twenty per cent below the aver age this inconclusive picture seems to be normal employers will always look on a man's scholastic record as evidence of how well he did in a pre vious job it is self-evident that the student should so budget his time that he may give his major attention and concentration to the important objective of his college life — education — and relate his other obligations to it in a proper balance appropriation is given for research of dr humphrey word has recently been received that a grant of three hundred dollars bas been
