VOL: II DR. CADY LECTURES LIQUID AIR Demonstrates Peculiar Qualities of This Strange Liquid Last Saturday evening, March 31, the students of the college had the privilege of seeing, feeling, and even tasting a liquid at 312 degrees F. below zero. The privilege was made possible by Dr. H. P. Cady, head of tha department of chemistry at the University of Kansas, who gave a lecture on liquid air, bringing some of the liquid; with him from Kansas. "This is nothing more than good Kansas air which shortly before came from Nebraska," began Dr. Cady. "The process used to obtain liquid air is very simple in most respects. Wa have all noticed that when we pump up a tire the barrel of the pump becomes hot. This heat is not due to friction but due to compression of the air. Now if air becomes hot when compressed we would expect it to do the opposite when allowed to expand. Unless you have been very careless in youx observations you have found this to be true when you have gotten too much air in a tire and let some out by holding down the valve," continued Dr. Cady. By put- ting the air under an enormous pres- sure and cooling it with water as much as possible we can get the temperature down as low as perhaps 70 degrees F. When the outlet valve is opened the temperature of the escaping air- drops 90 degrees F. This cool air is passed around the coils lowering the temperature of the compressed air still further. This process is re- peated until the air comes out of the ^Continued on page 2J ELDER H. S.

Emphasizes Importance of Ordinances of the Lord's House In his sermon, Sabbath, March 31, H. S. Prenier presented the stirring questions, "Do you know what it means to be out in the night? Do you know what it is to be in spiritual darkness without God?" When Judas surrendered to Satan he left the room and went, out into tha night. It was also night in his soul for he had given up God. Peter didn't know his own heart, but God did. Peter denied God and also went out into the night, but he took the right direction and later found his Lord. Baptism is the outward sign of an inward change. The ordinance of humility is ministered to the sinning Christian as one baptism in this life. The ordinance of humility forms a con- nection between a dependent human being and the divine God. There is a spiritual and moral significance at- tached to this service. The sacrifices, and services of the Old Testament signified Jesus as he would come and be slain. After he had died and had been resurrected the bread and wine symbolized his death until he would come the sec- ond time.

He said that short-cuts are taken by most everyone. How many have not tried to work mathematics by some short-cut method? How many of us don't take the shortest way to school or to the grocery store? "The text for the talk is found in Matt. 4:1-11 and is a lesson in the long way around. Christ did not take some shortcut, as Satan suggested to Him to miss the hard knocks, but faced reality. Christ's mission was to place in the minds of the Jews the fact thatl He was the Son of God. By yielding to one of Satan's tempta- tions, he would, have proved that fact with very little effort. All of His days of toil at teaching, preaching, and healing while on earth would have been unnecessary and his mission would have been accomplished. But, it was implied by Satan that Christ was to do those things at His sug- gestion. "It is never proner to do wrong in order that right may come," said Professor Thiel. "That temptation comes to everyone. And it makes no difference how much good may be brought about after the wrong is committed, it is not right even then." "The acts which Satan tempted Christ to do were not wrong in them- selves, but the wrong lay in the fact that they were Satan's short-cuts. It is the love of money, not money, that is the root of all evil." He continued: "In the story of Ban- yan's 'Pilgrim's Progress,' it was when Christian took the short-cut with Worldly Wise that he encountered many difficulties, was deserted at last by his companion, and finally re- turned to the road he had left." He admonished us that we are building characters for eternity. They must stand the test of the Great Judge of all. '"Iti takes time to mold a character—a short-cut will not do.

The proceeds from this en-, tertainment will go for some much- needed equipment for the church school. This unique program will consist of numbers played by the primary grade orchestra, several special dialogues, a health play, a hoop and wand drill, and many other exercises, readings, and songs. Much time and energy has been ex- pended on this program; hence it will be of special interest to all who at- tend.

Tlioinjjsuii, pi^ai dent^elect of Union College, entered the desk at chapel on Wednesday, March 28, he said he felt as Daniel must have when he found himself among lions, but he added that he hoped to come out as well as the prophet did. Professor Thompson chose as his text, II Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but' of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." He pointed out the need of self- discipline. Most people have such a problem; some need outside disci- pline, but most need inside dis- cipline. Especially while living with- in the shelter of a Christian institu- tion must one be careful, for there is a tendency to go with the crowd, whether good or bad "A true man is not handled by a crowd." As an example, Jesus' was cited, and contrasted with Barabbas. The crowd chose ar. attractive robber in preference to a saint. Christ was and is, the Master Man. - In a crowd, thought is based more on emotional contact than on reason. Personal identity is lost in a crowd often times, and no one would recog- nize a Christian. During the late war, the display of crowd spirit was truly manifest. The man who had for his slogan, "Hang the Kaiser," was usually the man who was elected to the desired office. "Was this patriotism or was it crowd spirit?" asked Professor Thompson. "Surely the latter, for there was a lack of feeling, love, and self-control." Christians must be able to stand for right when the crowd goes wrong, to express right-feelings and beliefs at all times, and to know when to sup- press the wrong emotions and feel- ings. True, strong characters should practice self-control, and have a com- bination of power, love, and a sound mind as a ruling agency. In closing, Professor Thompson quoted from Edwin Markham: "He drew a circle that shut me out, Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout: But love and I had the wit to win, We drew a circle that took him in." "I am notl prepared," stated P. L. Thompson, president-elect of Union College, to a Clock Tower reporter last week, "to state just what specific policies the administration of next year will adopt in regard to specific problems, for the man who has only one set. of policies for every occasion is an idiot. Policies should be mat- ters of localities more than of per- sonalities. Until I shall have had more time and, opportunity to observe the particular problems of Union Col- lege, I shall not feel free to designate just what my stand will be on these problems." Professor Thompson stated, how- ever, that there were, in his mind, certain well-defined principles which could be applied with universal bene- fit. Applying these to athletics he stated, "I am in harmony with the stand taken by the denomination as a whole in opposition to organized, competitive, lnterschoia6tic" athletics. But aside from that, my views on ath- letics are formed from a business, rather than from a religious stand- point. Athletics should be engaged in for recreation, and the amount of en- ergy which can be spent on athletics must be largely determined, by the amount of energy which can be spared from other enterprises, such as indus- tries. It is the poorest business policy which would permit expensive indus- trial equipment to stand idle subject to deterioration in order to provide time for mere games, but if there are insufficient industries to engage the students' energies, certainly athletics are preferable to idleness." Professor Thompson has not elimi- nated athletics in the Southwestern Junior College of which he has been president for the past five years, but he has done much to build up a strong industrial system in the school, thus making it possible for the stu- dents to earn on an average of 45 per cent of their school expenses. Professor Thompson expressed his confidence In tlie co-operation of the students as evidenced by the hearty spirit of co-operation and of apprecia- tion which has been evident for the administration of the retiring presi- dent.

He might also have added, there are no letters like the let- ters from the home folks. The truth- fulness of this statement is attested by the eager group who hurry to meet the mail carrier every night of the week, begging him for letters as if he alone were responsible if the coveted messages fail to arrive. Fur- ther testimony is added by the sat- isfied expression of the lucky ones who grasp their letters, elbowing their way to the outside of the crowd, tearing their letters open as they go and saying with a look of eagerness, "It's from home." It is true that letters from home may be surpassed by other "produc- tions in point of literary style and rhetorical ornateness, but who wants- too much rhetoric in a letter from the home folk£? And as for style, what can surpass the conversational, heart-to-heart style of mother's let- ters in which she tells about the way her last cake turned out, the new- bicycle which our younger brother has just acquired, the way the little neighbor girls are getting along with the chicken pox, and what color the neighbors on the other side are paint- ing their new garage? We peruse with fascination every one of those hundred and one little intimate de- tails which makes mother's letters what they are. When we come to the last where the affectionate little note is always attached, telling us how she wishes she could »ee us, we re-read the letter and then regret that we ever have to be away from home. Then father's letters always have a charm of their own, partly perhaps, because of their rarity. We always grasp with breathless eagerness a let- ter addressed in father's familiar hand, for father's letters always con- tain either very important news, or money. We scan rapidly through the first paragraph which contains brief apologies for the infrequency of his letters and assures us that it is due to no lack of interest, but rather to his extreme busyness and to the fact that he generally leaves his letter-writing to mother. We accept this readily and make mental observation that of course we don't expect him, to write every week, then hurry on to find out what big event has prompted this Letter. And we are never disap- pointed. Maybe the family is going to California, or perhaps they are to make us a visit, or maybe mother is seriously ill, -or possibly the house has burned down. Always there is the big news, briefly, laconically told, then the affectionate, though more formal note at the end, assuring us that they are thinking of us at home and admonishing us to be good and take care of ourselves. We read it eagerly to the last word then tuck it away "among our souvenirs," for letters from father are epoch-marking events in our college career. But after all, maybe the home folks like to hear from us just as well as we like to hear from them, and we wonder sometimes if we play quite fair with them when we wait a week, or perhaps two or three be- tween letters home. Wouldn't it be a good resolution to make to write home at least once a week, and let the home folks who mean so much to us and whose letters we prize so highly, know that we haven't for- gotten them? CADY LECTURES I'Continued from page 1] valve, not as a gas, but as a liquid. This liquid has a temperature of —312 degrees F. "Now that we have the air in liquid form the problem is to keep it," continued Dr. Cady. "I suppose most of you would suggest that we keep it from the heat by insulating- it with asbestos. That would not be sufficent, wool would be better, but better than anything is nothing. By nothing I mean nothing,—not even air. Therefore we keep liquid air in Thermos bottles, which are nothing more than flasks surrounded by a vacuum." Dr. Cady said that a question often asked was, "What is the highest tem- perature at which liquid air will remain a liquid?" The answer is —200 degrees F. At that tempera ture regardless of pressure air will become a gas, just as water will be come a gas above 700 degrees F. Dr. Cady drew some of the liquid from one of his Thermos bottles into a flask. It was a clear. liquid, re- sembling boiling water in almost every detail. It was boiling and a vapor was coming off not at all unlike steam. "You folks probably think this is just hot water," spoke Dr. Cady, but L shall try to prove t8 you that it is not hot water, but something a jjuuti deal cooler." So saying he picked up a beaker of cranberries and poured some of the clear, steaming liquid upon them. He drained off the liquid in a few seconds, much like one would drain a kettle of potatoes, then took a handful of the berries and threw them out over the crowd. They fell like hail stones. Some of the audience were not convinced that the berries were cold until they had tried to eat them, the bigigest difficulty with this being that they froze to their tongues. Some removed them at once, bringing with the berry a patch of skin; others showed, better judg- ment and left them until they had had. time to thaw out. To further prove that he was right, Dr. Cady took some murcury (which freezes at —40 degrees F.) and froze it until it was as hard as a piece of lead. Dr. Cady proved by several other experiments that the liquid air was really cold, such experiments as freez- ing some denatured alcohol (which freezes at —200 degrees F.), and freezing a rubber ball so that when ho tried to see how high it would bounce it went in several pieces with no uncertain sound. "Liquid air expands 800 times when it goes from the liquid back to the gas," explained Dr. Cady. "I have here a small steam engine which I shall attempt to make run on liquid air." Dr. Cady completed the experi- ment by putting some liquid air into a flask and corking it up, connectting it to the boiler of the engine. The machine sat quiet for a moment, then as if some unseen power had breathed into it the breath of life, it began to move and run around in great cir- cles. "Now the purpose of liquid air is not to take the place of steam in a locomotive, for it is only about one fourth of 1 per cent efficient. Nor is it to be used to freeze murcury to make tack hammers, but', from it we get two very important gases; namely, nitrogen and oxygen, also some argon. "The nitrogen passes off first, when the liquid air is allowed to evaporate, leaving liquid oxygen. To prove that this was true Dr. Cady allowed some liquid air to set for a time, then tak- ing the liquid that remained in the flask he mixed with it some aluminun powder until he had a thick paste. He placed this in a metal dish and placed a burning candle near it. The result was a flash very similar to a flashlight powder explosion. "The temperature of that flame was 3500 F." said Dr. Cady, "so you can see the speed in the change of tem- perature from —31-2 F to 3500 F quicker than you can wink your eye. "The nitrogen which passed off first can be caught by proper methods and used for fertilizer. Th.e oxygen we use for oxy-acytelene welding and in pulmotors. The argon is also play- ing an important part in the develop- ment of the tube used in connection with television." Some of the people present took the opportunity offered them of ex- amining further the liquid air after the lecture. Some even got up enough courage to put it into their mouths, but most of them were satis- fied to have~a little placed in their hands. CHAPEL ANNOUNCE- MENT CAUSES UN- DUE AGITATION Request of President Reveals Uneasy Consciences of Some Students Wednesday morning in chapel Pro- fessor Thiel made the usual announce- ments. Near the—end of the list came an announcement which caused eyes to buldge, hearts to beat faster, and many wild, imaginative thoughts, some in excited wonder, and some in evil forebodings to pass through the minds of over half of the student body. "Will all the students residing in the dormitories please stay after chapel?" distinctly announced the president. As the other "students marched out, there was a nervous excitement pre- vailing in the atmosphere of the chap- el-. "What has happened now?" whis pered those few who always look for calamities in every unusual occur- rence. Other students in excited, - sup- pressed tones discussed thrilling pic- nics or -some other anticipated cele- bration that Professor Thiel might be planning. The suspence reached its climax when Professor Thiel stood upon the platform and waited for things to settle down. A silence fell upon the expectant group as it waited almost breathlessly for -the president to speak. "Will all those students," began Professor Thiel,—and the assembled students sat on the edge of their seats, "who want breakfast during vacation please stand?" The tenseness relaxed and many students -scarcely heard the explana- tion of how the girls who helped serve breakfast would enjoy a rest. So stunned were the students that only seven responded to the call. All this excitement was for nothing— Oh no, not quite, for breakfast was served during vacation. Minnesota's Best Students Are Not Self-supporting University of Minnesota's best stu- dents do not work their entire way through school, or the worker does not by virtue of his duel task, es- tablish himself as the better student. The faculty of that institution was responsible for overturning the cur- rent fiction about student-workers. So numerous are the working stu- dents, that faculty members refuse to accept the employment alibi in place of study. This may be due in part to the use of such an excuse as dodge. Employment bureaus re- port, says the "Minnesota Daily," that fifteen per cent of the students who take jobs do so that they may be able to use the familiar "I'm working my way through school." While the faculty members are willing to pay adequate tribute to the student whose scholastic urgings prompt him to assume a double bur- den, they are willing to make no concessions. And the fakers, who are said to be numerous, have helped to create this attitude. Commercial Notes Three secretarial students were awarded membership in the Order of Gregg Artists March 15. They are Opal Crozier, Irma Watt, and Esther Dawkins. Donivon Leach and Dora Craig received their membership the first semester. Other members of the class are writing their tests and hope to receive their membership. Union College is the only college in the denomination which offers a course in typewriting methods. Seven student-teachers are supervising the ypewriting periods, correcting papers, and giving tests, t.o the typewriting classes. Each, has planned a complete course for an academy or a high school, and is now making plans for drill periods. The shorthand class has completed a second review of the textbook and has passed a test covering every prin- ciple in the text. The remainder of the school year will be given to rapid dictation and reading. "The Amanuensis" published each semester by the shorthand class is sent to local and union conference officials. It is, the purpose of this paper to acquaint the workers with the students, and eventually to place each graduate in one of our offices.

In the spring of 1893 two young men, the first college graduates from Union College, prepared their closing exercises. These young men, Robert Byson and Herbert Owen, were the only members of the graduating class that year, and, since they were modest young men, they prepared i modest program for graduation nigfit Mr. Owen, who was an artist and the art teacher for the college, drew i picture on the blackboard in the col lege chapel. It represented the ad- ministration building, the trees, the grass, and two young men leaving the main entrance with sheepskins tucked under their arms. This artistically colored picture formed the background for the simple exercises which were held, on commencement night. A speech and some music from Steckleberg's orchestra were the other features of the program. After the exercises the two graduates left. The following year there was no graduating class, but the next year witnessed a larger class and more elaborate exercises. The members of that class located a large rock in the nearby country. They secured permission to move it to the college grounds. This they did with much effort. They also planted a maple tree near the lone rock. During the activities of the closing week they held dedicatory services for the tree ' and the rock. The following letter was received by Mrs. Hamel, of College View, from Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell in Shanghai. Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell are well known to many Union students and alumni. Shanghai, China, February 24, 1928. Dear Mother and Carrol, At last we have some news to tell you. For some time we have been studying exceedingly hard in ordei to finish our second year of language soon. February 21 while we were taking an examination we got this letter from the Division: Dear Brother and Sister Hartwell: The brethren of the Far Eastern Division committee have just ar- ranged for your transfer from the Central China Union to the West China Union, with the thought in mind that this, will give opportunity for you to serve at the Tibetan Mis- sion Station, Tatsienlu. This will doubtless involve your leaving with Dr. Andrews and family soon, and for this reason we are getting the word to you without delay. Wishing you all heaven's richest blessings as you undertake this im- portant mission to the Far West, and assuring you that the brethren of the division commitee are praying that you may be fruitful in soul-winning, Yours in behalf of the committee (Signed) C. C. Crisler. This means that we must now begin a new language equally as hard as Chinese, for while our Chinese is needed out there, our primary work is to be for Tibetans. But we are certainly delighted to think that the brethren have enough confidence in us to think that we will do for a work of that kind. It means that within a week or two, perhaps a Union College Laundry "Industry of Union College" Phone FO 44-1D • I • I Mr. Owen was in town at the time, and on this particular night he attended the exercises. He saw the rock and the tree, heard the speeches made, and contrasted the evening's program and the gift, or memorial,, left at the school with the program two years before, and remem- bered that they had not placed a tree, rock or any other memorial then. He felt left out, and went home in a pen- sive mood. He was staying at the home of Mre. J. S. Hart, and he told her of his troubles. She tried to console him, and said that she had no trees or rocks to offer, but that she would give him a sprout of lilac if he wanted it. He grasped at the suggestion immediately, and proceeded to carry it out. He prepared the lilac sprout, and in the still darkne^. of midnight he planted it. The next morning people were sur- prised to see a third memorial near the other two. Near the latest one was a poem concerning it, and held in place by a glass serving the double purpose of frame and paper weight. It began as follows: "Oh we of '93, Too small to plant a tree Must let the mountains be-—' The rest of the tines are lost.

We go by boat to Chung- king, Szchwan, and the rest of the way partly by boat and partly over- land. The overland part is to be made by walking or rliding in a chair. When we get there we are to live in a part of Dr. Andrews' house, until we can get funds and build another house for us. We think that an appropiation will be made to build us a house. Yesterday Dr. Andrews made us a present of an, "English-Tibetan Col- loquial Dictionary," a "Grammar of Colloquial Tibetan," and a Tibetan "Manual." These books are his personal gifts to us. They certainly are glad to have us go with them. Mrs. Andrews and I went to town yesterday and bought a few things. We can get nothing foreign and very few poor Chinese things in Tatsienlu. The mission is established for Tibetans. The type in the print shop is Tibetan. There is at present a small Sabbath school there. It is made up of Dr. and Mrs. Andrews and a few Chinese. The only church in the mission has a membership of five, the Andrews being two, and the other three are Chinese.
