Sirs: Cols, I and 2, p. 9, TIME, May 29, you print an item from the Punjab, extolling Herbert Hoover as the "giant who feeds all people." Since Mr. Hoover's entire public performance rests in the fact that he was Food Distributor during the latter part of the war, this seems an appropriate place to interpolate a few words of comparison between Hoover and other unknown, but highly efficient Food Distributors...
...last year's nine. He will be flanked in the other outfield positions by two more former leaders, George Owen '23 and C. L. Todd '27. H. L. Nash '16 at first base and G. E. Abbot '17 complete the quintet of captains who will start the game.

Indeed, it would seem that Professor Rogers should have directed his remarks not to the boys at the Massachusetts Tech, but to their parents. The latter will take a lot of converting before they consent to see their gilded youth start out on a career of extravagance and bumptiousness. It may even be the case that a purse-proud father would not be entirely happy to see his daughter become engaged to a snob of the purest water. If he had to make his choice between the two authorities, the chances are that he would prefer Thackeray to Professor Rogers...
