A stove burns too much coal. A man familiar with the principles of combustion and heat radiation makes ex periments which indicate desirable changes in design. That is research. You want to make a ruby in a factory, a real ruby, indis tinguishablc by any test from the natural stone. You begin by analyzing rubies chemically and physically. Then you make rubies just as nature did. Your rubies are the result of research-another type of research. While melting up your chemicals and experimenting with high temperatures, you begin to wonder how hot the earth must have been millions of years ago, and what were the forces at play that made this planet what it is. Your investigation leads you far from rubies and causes you to formulate theories to explain how the earth, how the whole solar system was created. That would be research of a still different type. Research of all three types is conducted in the laboratories of the General Electric Company. But it is the third type -pioneering into the unknown-that means most in the long run, even though undertaken with no practical benefit in view. For example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover not only how the atoms in different substances are arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more you know about a substance, the more you can do with it. This work may enable scientists to answer more definitely the question: Why is iron magnetic? Then the electrical industry will take a greater step forward than can be made in a century of experimenting with existing electrical apparatus. You can add wings and stories to an old house. But to build a new house, you must begin with the foundation. General 'Electric General Office Schenectady, companyN.

A moderately close reading of the Garnet and Black and the University's yearly catalogue will convince the most inenterprising member of the Carolina student body that there are enough med als, block letters, sweaters, cups, gold footballs. basketballs, and baseball-s of fered each year for everyone on the camptis to have at least one of these iii cidents of college life. And yet when we look around we see all these little trinkets in the hands of a very few en ergetic students and athletes, while the bulk of the "proletariats," the masses. the "peepul." are absolutely and wholly without the decorations that would make such wonder ful improvements in most cases. This should not be. There is lot a single man in this stu dent body who is not particularly adapted to some form of college activity, ath letic or otherwise. And further-more it is the (luty of every man to make good in at least ole branch of work apart from his scholastic endeavors. Some may argue it truthfilly that college honors m1eal notihing to them--but if this is trute, they meaii a great deal to the folks back honme-and really nlow, there is solie little pleasure in van<plishing soie celeIbrity inl his own game and theti say ing to tile admiring bystander, "Yes-lie is-god(I-Iit-then-you-kn(ow.'"
