The last item on the order list appeared in a clear sky last Sun· day afternoon, when the sun fi I· tered through the trees in Dab· ney Gardens upon some three hundred and fifty persons gath· ered there for the annual Junior-Senior Garden Party.
Annual The combination of beautiful
ladies, beautiful flowers, a picket fence, tasteful refreshments, and H al Lomen's smooth dance mu· sic was enough to convince even the most# s keptical that the affair is worthy of re·establis hment to its pre·war status as an annual event.
Committee The Garden Party C.ommittee,
headed by Bob Stewart, ably as· s isted by Jay Linderman, Bill Palmer, J ack Mal'shaU, Barry Schy lel', Byron Karzas, Bob Pilling, Dick Bennett and many others, worked diligently to as· sure the success which resu ll!ed.
Help
The list of persons who helped immea9Urably in th'e prepara· tions for the party is as long as it is d is tinguished. There is not room enough here to mention all , but Bob Stewart w ishes to thank a ll who helped, and desires espe· cially to acknowledge the kind and gracious assistance of Mrs. Goldsworthy and Mrs. Stu rde·
Then last, but not least, our sincere thanks go to indefat ig· able Sue Huck and to Mr. Green of the Student Houses, as well as to Benny, Conrad and Emil of the refreshment group.
The success of the dance is a tes timonial to a ll of those who helped. Its establishment as an annual affair seems assm'ed.
Colonel Goldsworthy started his army career by joining the Princess Pat Regimen t of the Ca nad ian army in 1914. He later served as a pilot in the Royal F ly ing Corps. In \Vorld \Var II he served as a lieu tenant colonel in the Air Forces in charge of in· st l'lIction in the School of Ap.plied Tactics a t Orlando F'ield, Fla.

TEN UNIVERSITIES TO BENEFIT BY GRANTS FOR UNRESTRICTED -FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH
With a view to stock-piling basic knowledge, the Du Pont Company has announced a program of grantsin-aid for the college year 1949-50 to 10 u niversities for unrestricted use in the field of fundamental research in chemistry.
The grants-in-aid of $10,000 each are to be used for research that has no immediate commercial goal. The wtiversities themselves are to select the projects in which the grants wi!! be employed, and results of the research are to be freely available for publication_
HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED
Du Pont's purpose in offering t he grants is to help insure the flow of
fundamental knowledge in science upon which the future industrial development of our country is so dependent. It is intended that the funds be utilized for such expenses as employing additional researeh personnel or lightening the teaching load of a professor who is eminently capable of research of a high order. They may a lso be expended for the purpose of obtaining supplies, appara· tus or equipment.
GRANTS ARE EXPERIMENTAL
This program of grants-in-aid is largely experimental. However, it is Du Pont's hope, should the program :work out satisfactorily, to continue each grant for a period of five years.

77 DU PONT FELLOWSHIPS" MADE AVAILABLE
TO GRADUATE STUDENTS
Again in the academic year 1949-50, the Du Pont Company is awarding post-graduate and post-<ioctorate fellowships to universities throughout the country_
This is a continuation of the company's 30-year-old plan to encourage advanced studies in the fields of chemistry, physics, metallurgy, and engineering.
It is hoped that the plan will continue to help maintain the flow of technically trained men and women who will go into teaching and research work at the universities and into technical positions in industry. Some of

Each post-graduate fellowship provides $1,200 for a single person or $1,800 for a married person, together with an award of $1,000 to the university towards tuition and fees. Each post~doctoral fe llowship provides $3,000 for· the recipient a nd $1,500 to the university.
them, as in past years, may come to work for D u Pont when they finish their studies, but there is no obligation to do so; fellowship holders are free to enter any field of activity they choose_
The students and their research subjects will be selected by authorities of the 47 universities participating_ In this year's program, 45 of the postgraduate fellowships are in chemistry, 4 in physics, 15 in chemical engineering, 5 in mechanical engineering and 2 in metallurgy. There will be 6 postdoctoral fellowships as an incentive to those who would prefer to remain in academic work in order to obtain additional advanced training in chemistry_

Secretary's Report As you have no doubt noted in past issues of the paper, t he col
umn "Shaving From the Board" has been omitted and in its place this edi t.orial has appeared. You no doubt wonder why this chunge was -made' and w hat is the purpose of this new form of the Secretary's report.
~rhc p l'c \' iollS SCCJ ·(~t' lI · it'S· l'e llOl'ls each week have iJeen merely a rehash of the minutes of til BoaI'd metings, stating I:~ Jl the minor and, fol' t he n10st part, uninleresting business that had heen discussed. Like the "ShavingB," this new column will keep the Stucient Body posted on a ll resol u tions pas::;ed on by the Board, but its prime purpose will be to present only the main issues that a re of chief COncern to the Boa rd ~'t the lime.
By iufOl'ming the St u dt'nl Body as a whOle that such issues are under discussion, i t is hoped that some interest wi ll be stimulated so that people will g ive thei r opi n ion to Board members individually 01', per haps, make a visit to a Thursday nigh t meeti ng a.nd take part in the d iscussions. All a re always cordially illv ited to do so. In th is way the Student Body can help the Board as well as the Board help the Studen t Body.
Often t imes the Boarcl is on a fe nce as just what to do in a s itua· tion which ·etTects everyone merely because there has been inaclequate response from the Student Body to rnake a l'epresc nta tive decision. T herefore this column hopes to inform you as to just what the campus trends are so tha t you will have an opportun ity to voice youI' opin ions about anyth ing the Board is con::;i clering. If the Boa I'd knows you r thoughts on matters, it CCln do a better job, benefiting everyone.
In most c<lses, the information that will appear in this column will be of prime interest to anyone who is at all interesled in Caltech student affa it's. r hope that it will be well read, aJ1d that more people w ill take an active part in Board activit ies than have in the past.

Forty Year Career At Caltech Oxford Graduate Looks Back On 26 Years As Head Of Humanities
After forty years of developing a new idea in the education of the scientist and engineer, Professor Clinton K. Judy will ret ire as chairman of the H umanities d ivision th is summer.

Although it is "someLimes a little hard for a man to ge t in a ll of his wor k," graduates have a lways expressed their appreciatio n for the li beralizing infl uence of the Human ities in later ,years , Mr. Judy sa id.

Beaver Horsehiders OulWalk Laverne 20-6 Leopard Twirlers Walk 25 Techmen; Fans Mystified By 10 Error Win
In an error-fi lled game, Ca ltech defea ted La"Verne, 20-9, a lthough outhit , 9-8, in their practice baseba ll game at Tournamen t Park yesterday a fternoon. Wildn ess of the La Verne pitcher made the b ig differnce, as Dick Paterson, Bea,... _ Vel' lead-off man, scored four I runs with n o offi cia l t rips to t h e Talkin' It Over plate. To emphas ize Mr. O'Neill 's 'Vit h The Goon wildness, we casually mentioned tha t he walked the unbelievable number of 25 men.
Norman Little Chucker Norma.n made
the difference in the hi tting department for the E ngineer s: three for five is a vast improvemen t for the Chucker. '
All kinds of t h ings ha p pened as the horse hiders m ade 10 erro rs ,enough to lose a ny ball game instead of w inning by a very lop·s ided score .
To the fa n in t he stands, how the -Beavers cam e ou t on top is s till somewhat of a myste ry. I n every depa r t me nt the Leopa rds ou td id t he Tech m en , bu t t hey could not win.
The Athletic Office h i t the jackpot again last week. Not just one 01' two wins, but FI VE wins in FI VE sta rts. R umor even has it that t he Hustler got so carr ied away he offered Manny (of Star News fa me) one of his two for a nkkle COl'Onas. Fortunately for I\'Ia nny th e H ustler regained his equilibrium in time and th e " Poor Man's Braven Dyer" wasn't forced to smoke it.
\VatCI'IIlCIl Yes indeed, th e s w immers a l
mos t drow ned Pomona at the P .C. C. wading pond. And it looks as if the Beavers jus t a bout own the conference e xce pt for t he T i· gel's , who, sources repor t, are try ing to get in the Pacific Coast Conference.
