SPRING S P O R T S TO MAKE THINGS IN-TERESTING THE CADET PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE CORPS OF CADETS VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE THREE V. M. I. MEN TO ENTER NATIONAL MEET Vol. XXIV LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931 No. 21 Rise and Development of Christian Forms COL. MOSELEY CONTINUES INTERESTING SERIES OF LECTURES Rifle Team Victorious in Matchjit V.P.I. WINNER DESPITE ONE OF YEAR'S LOWEST SCORES Having reached the point at which the Christian churches began to ex-ert a strong influence on the history of architecture, Colonel Moseley dis-cussed the rise and development of the Christian forms in the academic building last Tuesday night. Next Tuesday he will continue the series with a lecture on Byzantine archi-tecture, and the great church of Santa Sophia will be his first exam-ple. After he has completed the ar-chitecture group of his lectures, Col-onel Moseley will take up painting, sculpture, and the minor arts. The great outburst of Christian building came in about 313; before this time the Christians had been forced to confine their religious ac-tivities to the catacombs and other secluded places. Their early church-es were basilican; they were not only places of worship, but places of meeting, trading, and general busi-ness. They were modeled after the general form of the Roman house, having a central nave croresponding to the atriums, the apses correspond-ing to the Roman family altars, side aisles, and vestibules. In the early Christian church the Roman triumphal arch motif was used extensively for separating the apse or chancel from the nave. Mos-aic work often appeared on the floor, and the roof of the nave was always higher than that of the side aisles. Colonel Moseley discussed the Christian churches in three general divisions: West, Central, and East. Among the basilicas of the West, of which the best are in Rome, Santa Maria, Santa Agnese and several oth-ers were discussed and illustrated. In some of these churches which con-tained many columns, no two of the columns are similar. They were col-lected from many places—some of those in the church of Santa Sabina are thought to have been taken from the Roman Forum. San Paolo is the most perfect of the West basilicas. It was burned in 1823 and rebuilt in 1870. Although comparatively mod-ern, it retains the best features of the original church. The church of Santo Stefano in Rome is one of the best of the Cen-tral basilicas. It was built in circu-lar form around a vertical axle. These circular churches became un-popular because it was impossible for the whole congregation to see the service. The Tomb of Theodoric, Ravenna, which was used as a church, has a circular roof of one great slab of stone, and it is often wondered how this slab was hoisted into place. Tourmanin, of the sixth century, is the most interesting of the East ba-silicas. Its central unit is octagonal, and four main apses radiate from this octagon. Each apse is a com-plete piece of work in itself. Chaqqa and Kalb Louzen are also prominent members of the East group. The V. M. I. Rifle team returned Saturday night from Blacksburg, Va., where they added another victorious match to their credit by defeating the Rifle team of the V. P. I. The opposing team was handicapped by the fact that two of her best men failed to show up for the match; but, at that, they were defeated by one of the lowest scores fired by the V. M. I. team this year. The results of the shoulder to shoulder match are given below; only the first five men in the V. M. I. lists were considered in de-termining the winner: V. M. I. Scores. P. K. S.

The board of governors will consist of the president; James C. Anthony, '25, vice-president; Ken-neth M. Adelstein, '20, secretary-treasurer, and the following commit-tees: Finance—Thomas G.

Dixon Speaks to Fortnightly Club R E V I E W S INTERESTING TALK TENDENCIES OF MODERN NOVEL Last week the Fortnightly Club of Lexington held another of its inter-esting meetings, and at this meeting Colonel Dixon of the V. M. I. Facul-ty spoke on the subject "Some Ten-dencies in Modern Literature," in which he went into detail concerning the different styles of modern au-thors. Colonel Dixon heads the Eng-lish Department at V. M. I. and was thoroughly capable of rendering an interesting as well as an educational talk. This Club is composed of members of the Faculties of V. M. I. and Wash-ington and Lee along with some citi-zens of Lexington, there are twenty-five members and the meetings are so arranged that each member pre-sents a topic in turn and the mem-bership is covered once every two years. In his talk Colonel Dixon devoted most of his attention to the theater and the novel discussing modern-day tendencies in each of these. The V. M. I. Fencing club has been invited to participate in the First Southern Fencing Tourna-ment at Chapel Hill on March 27 and 28. This tournament is un-der the auspices of the Univer-sity of North Carolina and it will probably decide whether or not Fencing will become a recog-nized sport in the Southern Con-ference next year. The V. M. I. team holds decisions over two of the teams entered and if sent to the tournament will have an ex-cellent chance to win the First Southern Intercollegiate Fenc-ing Championship. North Carolina took the Keydet Fencers into camp to the tune of 5-4 in the closest and best match of the season. Unusual skill was exhibited on both sides and the outcome was doubtful until the last touch. Hinkey Hendlin, winner of the Clements Medal for Fencing and captain of the Carolina team lead the Tarheels with three victories in as many bouts. W. H. Lockey, '21; Rutherford Fleet, However, his last bout with Allen, '30. Publicity—J. Stuart White, '29, chairman; William F. Reynolds, '21; John R. Barksdale, '24. The special committees for the year are as follows: Speakers—Henry G. Shirley, '96, About thirty members of the First and Second Classes took advantage of the permit to hear Admiral Rich-ard Evelyn Byrd speak in Lynchburg on Saturday night. The Admiral made a few brief introductory re-marks concerning the Byrd Antarctic Expedition and then with the aid of motion pictures proceeded to tell the complete history of his flight over the South Polar regions. The course which the party follow-ed to attain their base, "Little Amer-ica," was illustrated by animated maps and at the same time Byrd took the opportunity to tell of some of the preliminary preparations for the journey. He described briefly his two ships and told of the condi-tions which these ships would have to withstand in the Antarctic. His contrast of the North and South Polar regions, augmented by the pictures proved interesting in that the Southernmost point of the earth is much colder than the north-ern and is in the center of a vast frozen continent while the North Pole is in the midst of an Arctic Ocean. The leader of the expedition spoke at some length concerning the men who accompanied him and the praises which was the deciding bout, proved to be a classic. Undoubtedly some of the most skillful fencing ever seen i.n .S.o. ut,h ern.

At this stage the most impression-able phase of the entire expedition was brought to light, the thorough-ness with which the thousand-and-from Fred Wardlan 5-2.

With this added experience the team is likely to prove more than a match for most college teams. War Department Pic-tures Shown at V.M.I. PRESENTED-AS PART OF DISTRICT MEETING R. O. ASSOCIATION Tonight under the auspices of the Reserve Officers' Association of this district of Virginia the films "De-ployment of a Division for Attack" and "Life of O'Riley" were shown in the Jackson Memorial Hall at V. M. I. through the courtesy of the War Department. Members of the Asso-ciation throughout this section were invited; and many of these along with members of the V. M. I. Faculty were present. This is the second time this year that instructional pic-tures of this type have been present-ed for the benefit of the cadets. Clerk: Can I help you, sir? Shoplifter: No, thanks, I'm getting along quite well. V.M.I.Be Represented At Wrestling Meet TALMAN, DEWEY, WILL TO GO TO NATIONALS AT PROVIDENCE LEARY ELECTED CAPTAIN OF RAT WRESTLING TEAM "Can you use a typewriter?" "Yes, sir, I use the Biblical sys-tem." "I never heard of it." "Seek and ye shall find." Jack Leary, of Richmond, Virginia, was unanimously elected captain of the "Rat" Wrestling team. Leary had a very successful season, win-ning every one of his six matches during the season. He wrestled in the 165 pound class. At the U. of N. C. he wrestled their star and cap-tain, winning easily without having a second of time against him. The team had a most impressive record this season, winning five out of the six meets. Besides having in-dividual stars the team was excellent-ly balanced. E. R. Venable had a perfect season throwing every man he met in the 135 pound class. He is following the footsteps of his brothers who were here several years ago. The following men were awarded numerals in wrestling: Neidengard, Heine, Venable, McCallum, Tillett, Leary, Dorrier,. Clopton and Straub. Foltz was chosen manager for next year to succeed Rufus Fort. CORPS ESCORT FOR HOOVER? From an Associated Press dis-patch printed in Sunday papers, we learn that City Manager Truxton of Norfolk has suggested that the Corps be invited to act as an escort for President Hoover when he leads the annual pilgrim-age to Cape Henry on April 26. Manager Truxton and many other V. M. I. Alumni of Norfolk are greatly in favor of this and are now making plans to secure the invitation of the Corps. They be-lieve such a thing to be very ap-propriate in view of previous dem-onstrations by the school at presi-dential inaugural ceremonies and the like. The extent of Truxton's plans and the probability of their adoption are not yet known. We should hear more developments within a few weeks. V. M. I. will be represented by three men at the National Wrestling Tournament this year to be held at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. This is a tournament not for teams, but for individual cham-pionships only. The Tournament is to be held March 28 and 29. Tal-man, Will, and Dewey, accompanied with the capacity of the expedition to provide for. On the other hand nothing was taken that was not ab-solutely essential. Safety was the first consideration and to obtain this end every source of knowledge and supplies in the world was combed. The result was the most elaborate and yet the most efficient organiza-tion of its kind ever formed. During the long dark winter months the men were kept busy pre-paring for the work that was before them. The safeguarding of the three airplanes was one of the principal tasks, the caring for the eighty Eski-mo dogs was another, the making of sleds and skiis occupied some, and the routine camp duties kept the whole outfit busy. When the Spring came a party was sent overland with supplies to estab-lish a base nearer the pole. Later, Byrd, with three companions, made the eighteen hour flight to the pole and returned safely after picking up the supplies. While the Antarctic Expedition by Coach Pete Hesmer, will attend. Talman and Will were Southern Con-ference champions of last year and Dewey is undefeated this year.

MEN TO ENTER NATIONAL MEET Vol. XXIV LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931 No. 21 Rise and Development of Christian Forms COL. MOSELEY CONTINUES INTERESTING SERIES OF LECTURES Rifle Team Victorious in Matchjit V.P.I. WINNER DESPITE ONE OF YEAR'S LOWEST SCORES Having reached the point at which the Christian churches began to ex-ert a strong influence on the history of architecture, Colonel Moseley dis-cussed the rise and development of the Christian forms in the academic building last Tuesday night. Next Tuesday he will continue the series with a lecture on Byzantine archi-tecture, and the great church of Santa Sophia will be his first exam-ple. After he has completed the ar-chitecture group of his lectures, Col-onel Moseley will take up painting, sculpture, and the minor arts. The great outburst of Christian building came in about 313; before this time the Christians had been forced to confine their religious ac-tivities to the catacombs and other secluded places. Their early church-es were basilican; they were not only places of worship, but places of meeting, trading, and general busi-ness. They were modeled after the general form of the Roman house, having a central nave croresponding to the atriums, the apses correspond-ing to the Roman family altars, side aisles, and vestibules. In the early Christian church the Roman triumphal arch motif was used extensively for separating the apse or chancel from the nave. Mos-aic work often appeared on the floor, and the roof of the nave was always higher than that of the side aisles. Colonel Moseley discussed the Christian churches in three general divisions: West, Central, and East. Among the basilicas of the West, of which the best are in Rome, Santa Maria, Santa Agnese and several oth-ers were discussed and illustrated. In some of these churches which con-tained many columns, no two of the columns are similar. They were col-lected from many places—some of those in the church of Santa Sabina are thought to have been taken from the Roman Forum. San Paolo is the most perfect of the West basilicas. It was burned in 1823 and rebuilt in 1870. Although comparatively mod-ern, it retains the best features of the original church. The church of Santo Stefano in Rome is one of the best of the Cen-tral basilicas. It was built in circu-lar form around a vertical axle. These circular churches became un-popular because it was impossible for the whole congregation to see the service. The Tomb of Theodoric, Ravenna, which was used as a church, has a circular roof of one great slab of stone, and it is often wondered how this slab was hoisted into place. Tourmanin, of the sixth century, is the most interesting of the East ba-silicas. Its central unit is octagonal, and four main apses radiate from this octagon. Each apse is a com-plete piece of work in itself. Chaqqa and Kalb Louzen are also prominent members of the East group. The V. M. I. Rifle team returned Saturday night from Blacksburg, Va., where they added another victorious match to their credit by defeating the Rifle team of the V. P. I. The opposing team was handicapped by the fact that two of her best men failed to show up for the match; but, at that, they were defeated by one of the lowest scores fired by the V. M. I. team this year. The results of the shoulder to shoulder match are given below; only the first five men in the V. M. I. lists were considered in de-termining the winner: V. M. I. Scores. P. K. S.

Dixon Speaks to Fortnightly Club R E V I E W S INTERESTING TALK TENDENCIES OF MODERN NOVEL Last week the Fortnightly Club of Lexington held another of its inter-esting meetings, and at this meeting Colonel Dixon of the V. M. I. Facul-ty spoke on the subject "Some Ten-dencies in Modern Literature," in which he went into detail concerning the different styles of modern au-thors. Colonel Dixon heads the Eng-lish Department at V. M. I. and was thoroughly capable of rendering an interesting as well as an educational talk. This Club is composed of members of the Faculties of V. M. I. and Wash-ington and Lee along with some citi-zens of Lexington, there are twenty-five members and the meetings are so arranged that each member pre-sents a topic in turn and the mem-bership is covered once every two years. In his talk Colonel Dixon devoted most of his attention to the theater and the novel discussing modern-day tendencies in each of these. The V. M. I. Fencing club has been invited to participate in the First Southern Fencing Tourna-ment at Chapel Hill on March 27 and 28. This tournament is un-der the auspices of the Univer-sity of North Carolina and it will probably decide whether or not Fencing will become a recog-nized sport in the Southern Con-ference next year. The V. M. I. team holds decisions over two of the teams entered and if sent to the tournament will have an ex-cellent chance to win the First Southern Intercollegiate Fenc-ing Championship. North Carolina took the Keydet Fencers into camp to the tune of 5-4 in the closest and best match of the season. Unusual skill was exhibited on both sides and the outcome was doubtful until the last touch.

With this added experience the team is likely to prove more than a match for most college teams. War Department Pic-tures Shown at V.M.I. PRESENTED-AS PART OF DISTRICT MEETING R. O.

"Yes, sir, I use the Biblical sys-tem." "I never heard of it." "Seek and ye shall find." Jack Leary, of Richmond, Virginia, was unanimously elected captain of the "Rat" Wrestling team. Leary had a very successful season, win-ning every one of his six matches during the season. He wrestled in the 165 pound class. At the U. of N. C. he wrestled their star and cap-tain, winning easily without having a second of time against him. The team had a most impressive record this season, winning five out of the six meets. Besides having in-dividual stars the team was excellent-ly balanced. E. R. Venable had a perfect season throwing every man he met in the 135 pound class. He is following the footsteps of his brothers who were here several years ago. The following men were awarded numerals in wrestling: Neidengard, Heine, Venable, McCallum, Tillett, Leary, Dorrier,. Clopton and Straub. Foltz was chosen manager for next year to succeed Rufus Fort. CORPS ESCORT FOR HOOVER? From an Associated Press dis-patch printed in Sunday papers, we learn that City Manager Truxton of Norfolk has suggested that the Corps be invited to act as an escort for President Hoover when he leads the annual pilgrim-age to Cape Henry on April 26. Manager Truxton and many other V. M. I. Alumni of Norfolk are greatly in favor of this and are now making plans to secure the invitation of the Corps. They be-lieve such a thing to be very ap-propriate in view of previous dem-onstrations by the school at presi-dential inaugural ceremonies and the like. The extent of Truxton's plans and the probability of their adoption are not yet known. We should hear more developments within a few weeks. V. M. I. will be represented by three men at the National Wrestling Tournament this year to be held at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. This is a tournament not for teams, but for individual cham-pionships only. The Tournament is to be held March 28 and 29. Tal-man, Will, and Dewey, accompanied with the capacity of the expedition to provide for. On the other hand nothing was taken that was not ab-solutely essential. Safety was the first consideration and to obtain this end every source of knowledge and supplies in the world was combed. The result was the most elaborate and yet the most efficient organiza-tion of its kind ever formed. During the long dark winter months the men were kept busy pre-paring for the work that was before them. The safeguarding of the three airplanes was one of the principal tasks, the caring for the eighty Eski-mo dogs was another, the making of sleds and skiis occupied some, and the routine camp duties kept the whole outfit busy. When the Spring came a party was sent overland with supplies to estab-lish a base nearer the pole. Later, Byrd, with three companions, made the eighteen hour flight to the pole and returned safely after picking up the supplies. While the Antarctic Expedition by Coach Pete Hesmer, will attend.
