THREE HUNDRED GO TO ENGINEERS' BANQUET
Host of Marvinites Eat, Drink and Make Merry at An- nual Gathering
INTERESTING STUNTS A FEAT
Hidden Gongs Rang, Lights Blinked Confetti Bombs Exploded; Showed Cartoons and Pictures.
More than three hundred engineers were present Friday night at the fourteenth annual banquet on the first floor of the gymnasium. The east half of the hall was crowded with students, instructors, teachers, bathers, and oratory and the affair was a success from the time the crowd filed in the room to sit down at the long white tables until "Ding" Dingman, the last speaker on the program, announced the closing song and moved in around the cigars, which were barred in the gymnasium but could be smoked on the way home.
At 7:15 the engineers began to arrive and until eight they held an informal reception in the west half of the hall. Yells, songs and handshaking helped whet the three hundred appetites.
The "eats" began at eight and lasted until ten-thirty. Everything was there from turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, bread and down to olives, celery, grape fruit, salted almonds and water crackers. Even the far famed "engineers puncture" was not forgotten, in fact ware were ready with several helpings.
Stunts were the feature of the evening. If hidden gongs were not ringing the lights were blinking or bombs filled with confetti were placed on the stage in a magic lantern showed pictures, cartoons, and motots pertaining to the different departments in the School of Engineering. Views of the parade crew may that year be posed one reel of the "movie performance."
All the talks were good. Prof. G. C. Shaast was toastmaster and he helped to story between the toasts. J. W. Macolmon one of the out of town speakers has a son. Jack Malcolm-in-law is a senior in the School of Engineering.
A resolution expressing sorrow that Advisory Dean Marvin could not be present was adopted unanimously by a rising vote.

Hedrick, consulting engineer; City, City, City, consulting engineer; Malcolmson, consulting engineer, Kansas City, "?;" Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, "The School of Architectural Engineering;" Chancellor Frank Strong, "Engineers; J.

SENIORS SWIM ONLY FOR THE GYM CREDIT
Requirement Part of Regula Work in Sophomore and Freshman Years
Senior girls are required to swim before they can graduate. This requirement is simply a part of the requirements on an ophthalmic school so if you have have not yet your diploma will nto be withheld even if you have forgotten the aquarian sport. There has been no change in training department in this matter.
"There have been some stories published which have given an entirely wrong impression about this swimming matter," said Dr. Johnson this morning. "We require freshman nda sophomore girls to swim before giving them gym cred it and this gym credit is required for all physical or other good reason why any person can't swim we give credit without it. We do not pick girls up by the neck and throw them in."
Dr. Naismith said, "We do not require the senior boys to swim, but bring me a senior that can't swim or take him up and throw him in the pool."
Prof. W. A. Griffith said this morning that several excellent art articles would be published that the committee would probably reach an early decision in the matter. The art committee is composed Prof. W. Griffith, Wilcox, and C. G. Dunlap.
Owing to the illness of Prof. A. M. Wileox, the committee on art for the Marvin bust has been unable to select an artist for the work.

PSYCHOLOGY CLASSES MAY USE HONOR PLAN
Students of Prof. Rogers Wil Vote on Scheme for Examination
On Wednesday morning, the psychology classes of the University will vote on the question of installing an honor system of examinations.
Prof. D. C. Rogers proposed a plan this morning in his psychology class by which quizzes would be conducted entirely by the students, the teachers, and all times during the examination. The plan suggested by Professor Rogers provides for two committees of three students each, chosen from his two classes, which in turn will choose a seventh member of the committee. In the business of these students to conduct the examinations and to report all cases of unfairness to the Student Council. A pledge is to be signed by each person taking an examination testifying that he has not retested himself in areas which students have received assistance during the quiz.
"The old idea that a student should not report cases of unfairness among their fellow students is entirely unfounded," said Professor Rogers this morning. "The first law of all communities is to trace out conduct which is against the common good. In this number of instances, we must hold the students, and not the faculty are to insure a fair and equal standard of scholarship for themselves and for all students in their class."

DOCTOR W. OSTWALD EXPLAINS COLLOIDS
German Chemist Lectures to Crowd of Students and Faculty Members
VISITING U. S. UNIVERSITIES
Doctor to Appear at Largest School of the Country—Professor MacPherson to Talk Saturday
Dr. Wolfgang Ostwald, of the University of Liepsig, Germany, lectured to a large number of students and faculty members Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in the lecture room of Snow Hall. The subject of his talk was, "A Survey of the Field of Colloid Chemistry."
He explained the colloidal solutions and how they could be distinguished from molecular solutions. He said that the particles in a colloidal solution were too small to be seen with a microscope but not small enough to be called molecules. The smallest particle that can be seen with a microscope is one-thousandth diameter and the largest molecule is onetwelfth of a millimeter. The particles in colloidal solutions range from one-thousandth to one-millionth of a millimeter in diameter.
He showed that the different color of colloidal solution of the same substance is due to the size of the particles in the solution. The largest give off violet and the smaller the yellow. The larger does the spectrum the color of the substance goes, red being the color of the solution with the smallest particles.
Doctor Ostwald had a common molecular solution of salt that was dissolved in colloidal solution of the same substance in thin and white and one that was jelly-like and yellow. He said that the mixture was not subject to the process of osmosis.
In conclusion, twenty slides were then on the screen illustrating the various movements.
Doctor Ostwald is one of the world's formest chemists and has published a number of books dealing with colloid chemistry and kindred matter, having visited America at present, having attended universities of the largest universities of the land, among which are the University of Illinois, the University of Chicago, the University of Nebraska, Harvard University, Columbia University, Princeton University, the University of Toronto and the University of Kansas.
The next noted chemist to appear on the hill will be Prof. William MacPherson, head of the department of chemistry and Dean of the Graduate School at Ohio State University, of the Alabama City Section of the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society here next Saturday.

PRISON MINE SURVEY SOON
Prof. C. M. Young will begin the inspection of the penitentiary mines at Lansing some day this week, perhaps tomorrow.

Tennis Courts Ready
Nine tennis courts are graded, rolled, marked, and ready for the racket wields. The courts were finished today and the first players of the year probably will occupy them. The weather has given the workmen opportunity to wet the new clay tops and roll them properly.
