~’mF’f THE DR. C R. FOUNTAIN INVENTOR-AUTHOR FACULTY MEMBER HAS AN ARRAY OF PATENTS. By Jno Milton Bupln ; 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.

During the tbbfis holidays he attended a in Chicago of the American for the (advancement of Seitoee. Thera he read three papers.

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.

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.” Continued from page 1. 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 gregatien there. ^ ^ : The lineup and summary follow QUAINT OLD IDEALS FOR EARLY STUDENTS C'ontinufil from page 1. 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?” CER CLUSTER DR.

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.
