SPRING BAND CONCERTS
(Continued from Page 1)
will be ready to put out a greater
variety of numbers than they have
been able to offer heretofore. This
is due to the great amount of work
that they have had to put in on pro
grams for concerts played on the
band trips.
The Aggie Band lias been selected
as the official pegeant band for the
pageant to be held during the East
Texas Chamber of Commerce Con
vention here and in Bryan. They
are working up several new numbers
that will add new vigor to the life
of their programs and many of these
pieces to be played in the concerts
will be used in the pageant and at
the band contests in which fifty
bands will compete for different
class prizes.
The concerts will begin at 4:30
each Sunday on the Triangle in front
of Gathright Hall and will last for
one hour. This, will furnish many of
the boys with an idea of how they
may kill one more hour of the time
which seems to hang so heavily on
their hands every Sunday afternoon
at this time of the year.
The program to be played Sunday
afternoor will include:
1. March: “Selected”
2. Overture: “Oberon”. . .von Weber
3. Selection: “The Firefly”. . .Friml
4. “A Moorish Serenade” Chapi
5. “Persian March” Langey
6. March: “Slave” Tschaikowski
War March of the Texas Aggies

in the Physics lecture room the So
cial Science Seminar will hold its
regular meeting with Mr. I. G. Ad
ams as the speaker of the evening.
The title of his address will be “Ap
praisal of the World Housing” which
promises to be interesting since Mr.
Adams is connected with the Eco
nomics Department. Some sound eco
nomic principles will. more likely be
brought up and students, who are
taking this course under him should
be vitally interested. Bryan and cam
pus people as well as students are
cordially invited.
DR. DEAN C. DUTTON,
UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
Dr. Dutton, a dramatic orator and
interpreter of life and literature, is
to be Convocation speaker next Sun
day. He will also deliver lectures to
the student body Sunday afternoon,
Monday at 6:30 p. m., and probably
the same hour Tuesday.
Dr. Dutton’s messages are full of
abundant thrilling human interest
stories, wonderfully spicy illustra
tions, touches of irresistible humor,
and a magnetic presence with grace
and charm of expression.
“He is a fluent and eloquent
speaker, and beneath his eloquence is
a force of logic, a breadth of intel
lectual and a mastery of all subjects
handled. There is nothing of the
cheap clap trap method to be found
in his work. His addresses deal with
the need of arousing the youth of to
day for leadership in the momentous
days that are ahead.”
Dr. Dutton’s topics are “Tadpoles
or Skylarks;” “Weed Patches or Gar
dens;” “The Magnetic Secret of At
tracting Life-Long Friendships;”
“How to Lift Daily Life Above
Drudgeries and Monotonies Into
Symphonies and Gladness” and many
others of like nature.
All students and faculty members
are cordially invited to hear Dr. Dut
ton throughout his lectures.
ICARUS OR THE FUTURE OF
SCIENCE
By—Bertrand Russell
(Reviewed by—Herman W. Toepper-
wein)
In this powerful little book Mr.
Russell tries to forcast the future
of science through his previous ex
perience with statesmen and govern
ments. “Icarus, having been taught
to fly by his father Daedalus, was
destroyed by his rashness.” In other
words, science as we have it today
in the hands of men who live in the
tradesman’s minds of centuries ago,
will not prove a benefit to humanity
when reckoned in terms of happi
ness, but rather will act as an aid
to destroy happiness and forward
the plans, the purse, and powers of
a few.
The greater changes which science
has made in society are in the physi
cal and through physical science,
such as the industrial revolution;
and our present status of potential
power is based on the essentials nec
essary to the physical side; ie, iron,
coal and oil.
Through organization, a few have
been able to cotnrol these products
throughout the world and manipu
late the voices of public opinion in
their favor; chui-ches, schools and
patriotic propaganda all falling un
der this head. But the disagreement
is not in organization but the kind;
the selfishness, the egocentrical and
dangerous power back of it. Both
love of money and love of the game
are the predominating factors ruling
these mens minds, and “so long as
the sources of economic power re
main in private hands, there will be
no liberty except for the few who
control those sources.”
Another big failure in the trend
of those sciences is the fact that
though they have brought about na
tional organization of economic re
sources they have not been strong
enough to make an international or
ganization possible. Therein lies the
rub for the world is battling for
markets, and the battle is a national
one with the public opinion back of
it, either scared into, or lead into a
state of mind ready to defend the
National honor with blood, when in
reality the whole tragedy is the re
sult of a very few, a few not able
to see beyond their own front door.
Thus Mr. Russell says, only kind
liness can save the world. Science
has not given man more of that, or
given him more self control, his col
lective passions are detrimental ever
to himself, and that is why science
threatens to destroy civilization.
His only solution lies in some
strong nation like the United States
gradually forming an orderly eco
nomic and political world-govern
ment. But he concludes, “perhaps
the collapse of our civilization
would be in the end preferable to
this alternative.”
