INVENTOR-AUTHOR
FACULTY MEMBER
HAS AN ARRAY OF PATENTS.

; Ho did not oeem in the least ego
. tiatical or puffed up over the aecom-
pUtomeet# about which he might .have
boasted. Bather the reverse was true
* of his attitude when interviewed con
cerning his 'work. He waa_obliging in
promptly answering any questions. It
was plainly evident that he had a
keen interest in his chosen field of
work. Turning the pages of a labora
tory catalog, he pointed out invention
after invention on which he had either
secured or applied for patent.
Claude Uuaeel Fountain, A. B. PhD
professor of physics in Mercer Univer
sity is in many ways- a remarkable
■an, A complete list of degrees and
titles he is credited with would, require
considerable space. He is a~ member of
the BMehtTve Committee National In
stitute of Inventors, and has invented
many new types of laboratory appara
tna and commercial devices.
Daring the recent war Dr. Fountain
submitted to the United States Naval
bqard a unique. method for combatting
the dreaded German submarine. Among
kia various inventions are the follow
tag: %
-Combined Stoves and Firelesa cooker
Tranamiation Gearing, Governor type,
automatic shifting, Automatic Trans-
misaion Gearing Torque type. Pumsi
phon, aise various types of simplified
apparatus, Falling Body ap
Radio Electron Oscillator for
assy large power transmission in wire-
lam telegraphy. There art others also.
At 'preaeat Dr. Fountain is design'

la addition to the above Dr. Foun-
toin has written a laboratory manual
ad physics for urn in clnaaes. During
the tbbfis holidays he attended a

started by simply pressing the end of
the siphon against the bottom of the

, Many new types of physics appa
ratus have been invented by Dr. Foun
tain. These all help to simplify la-
bomtory experiments. These were nee-
eeaary in order to successfully carry
out toe new method of teaching phy
sics. The experiment are thus made so
simple aad understandable that the
student is enabled to formulate for
himself the fundamental laws and prin-

Coach Moran, of Centre College,
says: "One doesn’t have to be i

Bo MeMiHin, a great all-American
quarter back, agree# that “its hard to
beat a preying teem.”
“Ton can’t measure manhood with

“I want to be a giant for God.’’
MBy Bandar, the' speediest haserunner
and most daring baaestealer of his day.
Its the dirty play and not the dir
ty field that blackens,” says Walter
Camp, quoting also the following lines
from tReektoy: ’
“Who rriim or who wins the
print
Go loee or conquer as you can,
But if you fail cr if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.”

the Vanderbilt playera were all well
aware af the fact that he was on
the floor. His exceptional playing
came in the manner in which he
broke up passes for Vanderbilt and
took part in the pass work of his
teammates. He registered one field
goal and seven fouls for a total of
nine points, which made him. tHe
high point man pi the tears.
Harper as usual thrilled the spec
tators by his incomparable way' of
breaking up plays of- the opponents
when they came into the* latter’s
shooting territory. In breaking up
passes the Mercer standing guard
jumps several feet from the floor
receives the ball and passes it to one
of-his teammates. When a man at
tempts to come by him he places a
defense in front- of the opponent
’that results in a few shots for the
other player.
Seth Weekly is playing some of
the best ball he has ever played at
this period. Seth had a hard time
getting a good start this season, but
now it appears he has struck his
stride and is playing sensational
ball.
Slap Hentz also as usual got into
more plays than any other man on
the team. Slap never- slackens up,
playing the game at a fast clip
throughout the game. He got two
pretty field goals of the long shot
variety and was amply applauded
by the audience.
Gamble played stellar ball.-in the
second half but as was said before
he did not measure up to his stand
ard in the first period. The rangy
Mercer center has a way of losing
himself in the game from the op
ponents and slipping in at . an unex
pected moment in a position to shoot
Goodchaux; Morrow and Ryan
were in the melee with all their
power and deserve great credit for
the brand of ball they displayed.
The two guards rendered it extreme
ly difficult for Mercer to shoot at
the baskqt. Goodchaux played his
best game in the first half. He reg
istered three field goals of the fast
type. Morrow registered five points
out of eight trials at the basket by
the foul route.
Vanderbilt is no mediocre outfit
by any means and the Commodores
deserve great credit for their show
ing in Georgia, Mercer will have to
tost unbeatable ball in Nash*
to win from Coach Zerfosa ag

the floor. On this same date thirty-
six chairs were ordered for the so
ciety at a cost of 66 14 cents a
piece. Can you purchase a chair for
this now?
How did they see to read when
the meetings,were held at night.?
This resolution of the .fifth of
February will settle that question.
Four.members of the society were
appointed each week to bring a
'candle each or pay a fine of 6 1-4
cents. This little incident will per
haps put you to thinking of what
great changes have taken place since
this dear old society was founded.
Another example' of how things
tv ere accomplished by the loyai mem
hers in .1834-1836 is shown bv a res
olution passed the latter part ot 1834
which provided that every member
over fifteen years, of age bj required
apply to the secretary for a
subscription list for the purpose of
raising a fund to erect a half for the
society.
Doubtless there would be better
order in the society mee’ings now if
some of the methods were employed
as used -in the first years of the so
ciety. The writer in looking thru
the minute books noticed many in
stances where different members
'vc-re fined only a few cents as it
seemed now.” In all probability it
would make a big hole in the pocket
l ooks of the students at Mercer Un;-
versty now . if the fine were charged
i.i* proportion to what they were at
that time. -
“Should the old bachelors be tax
ed to support the old maids?
Yes, tjiis is one of the questions
debated in the Phi Delta society on
the fifteenth day of February, 1846.
Gan you imagine which aide won?
Similar questions were found all
thru the books. “Ought women to
be allowed to vote in political af
fairs ”- was debated as early as the
year 1837. Another question of in
terest was discussed in September of
the -following year, namely, “Is it
right for us to bring Africans over
to America to become slaves?”

The American cotton crop for 1920
was 12.987,000 bales.
Flights of oratory, hot air, sparks
flying, laughs and cheers, were only
a few of the things that happened
whan the “safe” get into- aerion 'at
tht - last meeting of the’ CicekohritM&i
Bad .headed- speakers and red headed
judges together with a red het sub 1
ject was the way the time was staged.
“Bed” Welch and Dunn led the
fight for the affirmative on the sub
ject: Resolved, That the American In
dustries should adopt the open shop
policy. The negative was ably defenij
ed by “reds” Marshall and Cobb but
the judges decided unanimously in
favoy of the affirmative.
It was the regular meeting for the
election of officers and tht following
were elected for the coming month:
R. D. Hodges, president, W. G. Mc
Rae, vice president, and J. B. Odum,
critic.
The^society is now keeping a cor
rect record of all attendance and all
the members who wish to take part
in the final debate, for. which a med
al. will be given, will have to be pres
ent seventy five percent of the time.
The attendance has been better for
the past year than'it has been in years
and interest is constantly growing:
The things which the soceties are
doing this year, make all the new men
want to get into one or the other. Be
sides the intercollegiate debates there
has been a medal offered in each so
ciety for the best all round debater.
Another thing that is attracting-much
attention is the society day which
will be March 7,
Ralph Wear, and H. V. Smith were
sworn in/SsTifew members.
This parody on Longfellow’s
Psalm of Life was written by Oliver
Wendell Holmes. Though the two
poets were the most intimate of
friends they were constantly poking
fun at each other. Holmes was
great poultry fancier and one day he
took Longfellow with him to a poul
try show. A huge poster showed a
big rooster addressing a convention
of chickens. As the two poets passed
Longfellow asked Holmes what he
thought the rooster was saying
Whereupon Holmes went back and
drew a line from the rootoers bill to
the top of the poster. And there
without stopping to think and without
making any changes, he wrote the
parody on Longfellow’s beautiful
poem.
The incident of the writi.ig of
this parody was told in chapel by Dr
Russel II. Conwell last Thursday. Dr
Cony.ell was personally acquainted
with Longfellow, Holmes, Whittier,
and Emerson. The talk was made on
Sidney Lanier's birthday and was an
appreciation of the great New En
gland poets. The story of the writing
of the parody was told to show the
intimacy of the lives of these men.
