...well-known pieces of Chopin, were performed by Mr. Moeldner '13, a pupil of Madame Hopekirk. Although in the first piece the left hand portion was a bit heavy, the Nocturne was played with real poetic feeling, and throughout Mr. Moeldner preserved a singing tone, showed an easy command of the keyboard, and, in the difficult Polonaise, unusual brayura. Following a recently adopted and praiseworthy policy of the Sodality, an original piece by an undergraduate was given--a Scherzo by C. B. Roepper '10, in which the composer makes a clever and genial use of modern effects in rhythm...

He had been a member of an earlier Antarctic expedition under Scott in 1902-03; but it was not until 1907 that he set out in command of his own.

...been said that, as a class, engineers command larger salaries than men of any other profession. Whether or not this be literally true, it is a fact that graduates of any well-known scientific school do not have to serve a long apprenticeship as in most professions, but on the contrary are immediately sought after and comparatively well paid. It is not so easy for the newly graduated student to secure the necessary means of living, that this point is to be neglected in the choice of a profession. But aside from the remuneration, the civil engineer sees his works...
