'The board, which constitutes a eort of court of last resort, passing on actions by the sev- eral faculties and by the corporation includes in its membership of 30 some of the most notable men in the coun- try. It was not understood that the meeting was called ppecially to con- sider the subject of limitation or se- lection of enrollment but it was un- derstood that the meeting was likely to devote its attention largely to that question, as one of the mest import- ant to the college which has called for action in many years The development of the question up to the present stage has heen fairly well outlined. It appears that a group of students, some of them Jews, at a meeting several months ago discussed the part that the large numher of undegraduates of that race present at the college was play- ing in its life, This number has been estimated from 18 to 20 per cent. The meeting made certain represen. tation to the faculty. Subsequently the problem of in- creasing enroliment came up. The faculty voted to autherize President l.owell to appoint a special commit- tee to consider principles and meth. ods for more effectively sifting can- didates for admission, In a discussion of the problem a spokesman for the university, an- swering a specific question, said that in considering such a wide problem it was natural that there should be talk about the proportion of Jews at the college. A day or two later, two orders were introduced in the house of represen- tatives caling for an inquiry of the proposed new plan for enroliment, fore University s 4o Py et SPINET DESKS B. C.

Ag the three feet diminished to al- most two, Lieutenant Dixon gave a final twist to the “‘stick’” and cleared the dangerous spots, arriving safely within 100 feet of field, clearing the death trap in the shape of a &unken road by a few inches. “One less kick and we would have been out of luck" was the only comment by Lieutenant Dixon as he alighted. Thompson did not realize the danger he was in until lateny Remarkable Record. Lieutenant Dixon, whose presence of mind saved his life and that of Thompsen's, although but 22 years of age at the present time, and barely 18 when he enlisted, possesses a re- markable military record. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dixon, of 446 Chestnut street, New Britain, He graduated from the New Rritain High school in 1916 and ap- proximately a year later, when he had just turned 18 years of age, en- listed in the Canadian Brigade of the Royal Flying corps and trained in Canada and at Fort Worth, Texas, where Canadian men underwent con- siderable training. While at Fort Worth he was commissioned a sec- ond lieutenant and le for overseas shortly after receiving his commis- sion. All Over the World. He served with the British Expe- ditionary forces and from the spring of 1919 until he resigned his commis- sion in the service was engaged in opening imperial air routes in Europe, Asia and Africa. He spent nine months with the In- dian army under the Indian govern- mental control and was gazetted from the service as a flying officer with the rank of first lieutenant. One of his most famous flights was from Londen to Cairo, Tigypt Gives Own Story of Flight. When interviewed this morning Iieutenant Dixon told the story of the flight. He said: GATELEG TABLES side of the fleld and turned inte wind, Then after calling on ‘Lady Luck' for a smile I jammed the throttle open and to use an old flylng corps term ‘vaulted into the atmosphere.’ Thorough Test, “This flight lasted 15 minutes, in which time I put the machine through her paces. Left and right, hard climbing turns with engine, gliding turns without power. ‘Then when the machine had dome side- slips either way I landed and taxied back to the crowd, Thompson Gets In ““Thompson then got onto the front seat, and after taking off, we climbed up to 1,000 feet and circled over Hartford, which afforded a pretty view. Then I headed for New Brit- ain, making the trip from the capitol to Chestnut and East streets in New Britain, in seven minutes. We flew over the center of the city and started back for Hartford. I kept at over 2,000 feet.on the return trip in case of engine failure. Lucky for us I did so. Engine Cuts Out, ‘‘About three and a half miles from the landing field the engine cut out and I realized that the gas was not feeding through. I could see no spot to land below me, the only available site seemed the airdrome {tself. I glided towards it, and when about half a mile from the edge of the drome, knew that I would just about clear the trees. My judgment was correct for we missed them by ahout 10 or 15 feet. Beyond the trees a wide ditch loomed up before us, hut luckily, the speed of the machine en- able it to clear. The Landing. “Flattening out the bus I touched the wheels gently onto the ground, which at this spot, was nothing but a patch of mud. For a moment I thought she was going to pitch into her nose but by pulling the - stiek clean back and raising the elavator controls I managed to keep her level on the ground.” Well Built Machine “Do you expect to tajge it up again?” Lieutenant Dixon was asked. “Yes, as soon as a few minor changes are made.” He replied, “In my es- timation,” he sald, ‘‘the machine for one of its type, is as fine & hus as I have ever flown. It is very fast and climbs quickly. I think it will be very easy to handle in the alr once its con- trols are properly adjusted. All credit for the success of the flight is due to Mr. Thompson and George Pranaitis who. helped to build it to- gether with their mechanics. He has tried for a long time in vain, to show the people of New Britain that his machine could fly. I am very -glad that the people were able to see yes- terday a New Britain designed and | built piloted machine over their city.” Will Fly Here. As soon as an available landing ground is found near New Britain the machine will be brought here and lecal people will be given a chanca to fly in it.

As Mr. Gilman has not as yet been ordained this action ‘was necessary, supplimenting his li- cerle, to agree with ecclesiastical and state laws. The ordination will probably take place early this fall. After Mr, Gilman's graduation from Yale he entered the Theological sem- inary at Oberlin, Ohlo. Immediately after graduating from the semipary he entered the service as chaplain during the World War and after his discharge went into the Neag East as a relief worker, returning several months agoe, with Mrs. Gilman, whom he met in the Caucasus.
