On February 5, a member of the class of problems confronting youth saying Eco '9l and a trustee of Oberlin College, Dr. nomic tyranny is easy to control because Robert A. Millikan, the physicist, addressed of the political law which exists above it the noonday assembly. He has been a trus- but a vastly greater danger is when a man tee of Oberlin since l9l 8 and last addressed is on top of government then there the students in June, l933, at the centen- is nothing but political despotism nial graduation. Millikan spoke of the Vitamin A, valuable for its anti-infectious proper- ties and found in fish liver oils, especially those of halibut and cod, has long been sought in pure forrn by the medical profession. Two years ago Dr. Holmes and his research assistants surprised the world with a concentrate of Vitamin A which they announced at a chemical meeting in New York City. This year Dr. Harry N. Holmes, head of the Ober- lin Chemistry Department, and Miss Ruth Corbet, research assistant, announced the preparation of needle-like crystals which they believed to be pure Vitamin A. This crystalline concentrate was first obtained on November 23. li ii gl Q32 Plans S2 Na.. S T MH H P X all? D0 fogr

No wonder it always rains during Freshman Week, for here in Oberlin April is not the month of showers, but, during the school Year, it's September-so the Oberlin Weather Station tells us. Nor does it rain all the time, or even half the time, or a third of the time. Last year there were ll2 doys when it rained more than one one- hundredth of an inch. And we had l29 days that were entirely clear. Oberlin's hottest day in l936, according to records was lOl degrees in July, com- pared with the all-time high ot lO5 degrees made in August, l9l8, last year's coldest Was -l2 degrees in January, eleven de- grees higher than the all-time low struck in l9l2. l936's first killing frost was Octo- ber 28, and its amount of snow, 40.2 inches. Oberlin Weather -a distinct department of conversation-according to the weather reviewers here, is iust good normal weath- er for this part of the country, no wetter, no colder, in tact just normal.

Herbert Nichols, Oberlin Director of Athletics addressed the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The small school, said he, may continue to struggle, to attempt to compete, to offer athletic scholarships and spec- ial inducements, to bring in a few super athletes, to play a money schedule with most of its games away from home, and still take in enough money to hold a high-powered coach and be fairly successful finan- cially and in the won and lost column. Eventually, however, they will lose out. They will find that the educational price they have paid for a false ath- letic prestige has been a dear one. A number of institutions have discovered this in the past. His message was hailed by the press of the nation. Ath- letic departments of various colleges sought non-profit games with Oberlin, among those leading the way was Johns Hopkins. So, as in co- education, as in negro educa- tion, Oberlin leads the way in inaugurating a national non- profit athletic policy.
