.All-America Radio Service.
Early in 1W0 the Radio Corporation
of America purchased from the Amer
ican Marconi company its stations, pat
ents and other assets. The charter and
by laws provide that 18 per cent of the
stock may be owned by aliens, but no
stock in "a'ddition to thip 18 per cent
foreign-owned can be voted, even
though held by an American corpora
tion dominated' by foreign capital. The
radio corporation has a manufacturing
agreement" with the General Electric
company, giving the radio corporation
full use' of this company's facilities for
development, research and manufac
ture, over a long period of years, and
also the benefit of being associated
with the General Electric company's
foreign conijmnies. The patents held
by the General Electric company will
go to the. Radio Corporation of Amer
ica to be used for radio purposes'.
This is a strong combination in the
riirht. direction, namely, that of plac
ing the United States in its proper!
position m the wireless communication
of the world. The radio corporation is
already branching out and seeking for
eign sites for radio stations, and a real
development looking toward adequate
communication, especially with the
orient, is a thing to be hoped for in
the not too distant future. The Na

. UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
Marked Interest Being Shown By
Alumni in College Affairs.
The past few years have marked a
noticeable growth in the 1'niversity of
Vermont, both in size and progressive
spirit, and the result of this is a wide
interest among her alumni in the
affairs of the university. ' In large
numbers they return on the "red letter
days" of the university to renew their
old accqtiaintances and to observe the
results of the growth. On Saturday.
May 1, founder's day was celebrated
with nuii-h enthusiasm. On the night
before, the gymnasium waa the scene
ot a large "smoker," traditional affairs
at U. X. M. At fl o'clock on Saturday,
the university battalion turned out for
the ceremony of "escort of the colors,?
which was followed immediately by
the Boulder exercises. The Boulder
society is the group of seniors in whose
hands is the leadership in studtiit
affairs. At ten o'clock, the qymnasium
was tilled with students, faculty and
alumni, Hnd the founder's day exer
cises commenced. The two student
speakers were F. S. Pease, jr., '21, of
Burlington, and B. N. Hulburd, "20, of
Hyde. Park. The main address was
given by t". W. Dot en, '05, of Boston,
on "The College in a Changing World."
The three addresses were followed by
a tribute to Ira Allen, founder of the
University of Vermont, by Acting
President' Guy W. Bailey. He an
nounced that from J. B. Wilbur of
Manchester, a gift of a statue, of Ira
Allen had been, received. Mr. Wilbur
has secured Sherry Fry, a sculptor of
international reputation, to make the
statue. During the day, Mr. Fry and
F. M. Button, a landscape architect,
conferred as to the best location on the
campus for the monument. Mr
Bailey's announcement was followed
by the annnneement of the new mem
bers of the Boulder, Key and Serpent
(junior,) Melissedon (upperclass,) Caj
and Skull (senior medical,) and Akraitl
(girls) honorary societies. Inter-clasi
singing for the Elias Lyman cup fob
lowed the founder's day exercises, tin
prize being awarded to the senior elast
with honorable mention to the fresh'
men.
At noon came the initial meeting ol
the alumni council and this was fob
lowed by a baseball game on Centennial
field at "it o'clock with Holy Cross.
The final event of the day was th
Julia Spear prize reading in the Bib
lings library at 7 : HO o'clock p. in. Th
awards were made as follows: ls
Miss Muriel Crewe of Bradford; 2nd,
Miss Marion Killam of Burlington, and
3rd, Miss Thelma Fldraunds of Morris
ville. Interest among the alumni in found
er's day and in the annual commence
ment next June has been cultivated in
a series of alumni meetings in tin
httger cities of the East. At Boston,
Xew York. Philadelphia, Washington,
Buffalo and Detroit, enthusiastic meet
ings of the alumni associations hav
been held recently. At Boston, Xet
York and Buffalo, Acting-President
Bailey was present and accompanied by
si me representative stuilcnt. Professol
Topper attended the reunions at Phila
delphia and Washington, speaking at
both, and Dean Votey of the engineer
ing college, represented the faculty at
Dttrqit. At all these gatherings, col
lege spirit ran high, and much en
thusiasm was shown in the comma
commencement, at which there should
be an unusually large attendance. Tin
New York alumni will have special cart
from Xew York to Burlington. .
