Which Type of Research
is of Greatest Value?
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.

The Contests.
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.'"
Ym never know what you)it canl do m
til you make a stab at it. The best Iot
to it "I'll try anything once." and if
everybody mi the campuis would try
everything on the campus micee, ('aro
linla's represeltatives would be more
representative. TheI more leaders a col
lege has, the greater that college is going
to be. Think it over-and then try to
mIlake vou class the best class that has
ever carved its name (n the desks inl
