Dr. Boucke was, in his fifty-fourth
year. Commenting on his , passing,
Dean Charles W. Stoddart, of the
School of Liberal Arts, said: "A
course under Dr. ,Boucke was a lib
era education in itself. The man
was intentionally loyal to the College
and was one of 'the pat teachers on
the campus. He played a large part
in making the Liberal.'Arts school
what it is today, not only for his
teaching, but, for his wise counsel as
well.
"His inforMal contact with the stu
dents," Dean Stoddart continued,
"was one of his most helpful assets.
The undergraduates were always
coming to him for advice. „Even the
older graduates. consulted him, and
he was the first man they asked .for
on •their — return to Penn State."'
Dr. Boucke lapsed into his final ill
ness a week and a half.ago. He had
never Billy recovered from an opera
tion he•underwent five years ago in
which a kidney was removed. Last
SaturdaY he Was taken to the Belle
fonte hospital, but, on his insistence,
he was brought home last Monday.
Dr. dhrl W. Hasek, head of the de
partment of economics and sociology,
will, as a temporary arrangement,
teach Dr. Boucke's classes for the re
mainder of the semester, or until such
time as,a - naw man has been secured.
"We wilt: trYloThecure a man as near
Dr. Honcho's caliber as- possible,"
Dean Staddart stated, "although to
get one as - fine -as he was will be im
possible."
Numerous contributions to econo
mic theory, development, and upon,
cation through several books - and oc
casional articles to the. professional
press advanced Dr. Boucke to a posi
tion of eminence in his chosen field.
His final book, "Europe and the
American 'Tariff," was published in
1933, while probably his best known
work, 'Laissez Palm and After,"
was ,ptiblished in 1932. Other books
which Dr. Boucke wrote were: "Lim
its of Socialism," "Development of
Economics," "Critique of. Economics,"
and "Changing Costs of Living:: He
was working on another book, but his
illness prevented him from complet
ing it.

Dr. Boucke's Foremost Quality
Ability To Make Students Think
Penn State was uppermost in Dr.
Boucke's affections' from his initial
contacts with the institution back in
1908. The outstanding impression
conveyed by Dr. Boucke to his many
students and faculty associates was
that' of embodying the finer qualities
of scholarship, while his foremost
quality, was the ability to make his
students think, to insidiously and hu
morously persuade them into re-ex
amining old precepts.
If students in Dr. Boucke's classes
were not paying attention to his let
tureS, he would admonish them, us
ually, by saying, "Now listen to what
I'm telling you, because I can tell
you more, about this subject than 'any
man living." He realized his accomp
lishments and did not refer to them
in a . boastful sense.
• The late' professor was considered
by many to be the most widely read
man on the campus. It was his habit
td arise at G o'clock every morning
and retire at 12 o'clock, or later, ev
ery night, so that he might devote
more time to his reading or to the
boOk on which he happened to be
working. His readings covered a
wide variety of subjects and types of
literature.
.Dr. Minch was of the old school•
of. Garman thinking in that he be.'
lieced.a young man should be wholly
financially independent of his parents
after the age of twenty-one, and it
was till's that,probably made one of
the first serious inroads of his health.
Born in Germany on January 16,
1881; he was reared in the cultural
atmosphere of a German profession
al home and educated in the Gymna
sium at Kiel. After completing the
curriculum there he went to:Austra-

by Lake, a symphonic arrangement of
a popular march number.
A contrast of music before and aft
er the World War will be presented
in the band's second' number, which

Sunday's concert marks the twen
ty-first,since the, barid concerts were
first started here. The winter cons
cert series was inaugurated by Clar
ence C. Robinson, former director of
music, and Bandmaster Thompson in
the latter's first year here as College
bandmaster.
Major Thompson, a retired Army
bandmaster, came ere in 1914 to di
rect the band which was then used
solely for military purpdses. Since
that time, two military bands have
been organized and the College band
has been designated as the Penn
State Symphonic Band, or "Blue
Band," as it is popularly known..
The officers of the present organi
zation are Daniel E. Nesbitt '35, pres
ident; Jay F. Getz '35, manager; For
rect W. Hunsicker '36, secretary; and
James W. Townsend '35, drum ma
jor.
Ha, then to Hawaii, and finally ar
rived in San Francisco, where he
earned his Hying teaching piano. Dr.
Boucke went through the University
of Michigan "on his own," lacking
the proper foods and doing work ill
fitted to' his physique. Specializing
in history, he obtained his A. B. and
M. A. in 1905 and 1906.
Dr. Boucke came to Penn State in
1908 'as an instructor in German.
From this, he transferred to Euro
pean history, later centering his at
tention on economics, in which' he
took his docto • rate at the University
of Pennsylvania in 1916, and still
later applied his talents in sociology.
Dr. Boucke's persistence in teach
ing despite his, severe illness in re
cent years added to the reputation he
had earned in the decades he had
served at Penn State as one of the
most interesting and inspiring of its
teachers. He was one of the best
loved and most highly respected men
on the faculty. Upperclassmen sought
eagerly to' get into his classes, and
during the summer sessions his
courses were always filed to the limit.
In the last seven years, according
to figures obtained from the School of
Liberal Arts authorities, Dr. Boucke
taught a total of 3,642 students, with
.the number enrolled during his en
tire teaching period estimated at ap
proximately 11,000.
There is a story told of Dr. Boucles
and a graduate who was back for a
few days. The latter, meeting the
economics professor on the street,
said: "Hello,. Dr. Boucke, how are
you?" Dr. Boucke looked up, stared
at him, and said: "That remark cost
$15,000. - You interrupted my train
of thought."

iod of study at Dcnishawn in Cali

Oriental tour with the company in
1925. Shortly after their return they,
decided to employ their own ideas of
what the modern dance should be.
They intended to break away from
the romantic form of the dance which
placed so great an emphasis on story.
They believed movement could be
made exciting enough in itself so that
little or no story would be necessary.
IFC Considers Cut
In Rushing Costs
Under Council's Plan Freshmen
Would Pay Fee To Defray
Fraternity Expenses.
In an effort to reduce fraternity
expenses during rushing season, In
terfratcrnity Council Wednesday
night considered a plan to have all
freshmen pay a sum. of fifty cents
for the privilege of being rushed next
year. The plan, which is being car
ried out by the. University of Michi
gan, would collect at least $350 from
the class of 1039.
This would be distributed among
fraternities to defray the costs of
meals, etc., during the rushing per
iod. The motion was tabled until
next meeting, when discussion and a
vote will be taken.
. John A. Keech, Ralph P. Needle,
A. Kenneth Maiers, and Clifford C.
Wood, all. seniors, have been appoint
ed to act as an executive committee
to draw up a nominating slate for the
spring elections. Elections will take
place early in April.
Captain Mason, financial represent
ative of the northeastern section of
Pennsylvania for the Salvation Army,
sought the permission of the Council
to either solicit fraternities or indi

agreed to mail her a check by next
Tuesday.
Harold W. Kalb '35, chairman of
the annual• bridge tournament, re
ported that twenty-four playing
boards will be used in this year's con

44 Entrants; Wrestlers Stand
Best Title Chance in 10 Years
Princeton, Lehigh Are
Only Rivals For
Team Title.
Cramer's Drop To 145
Will Strengthen State
By VANCE PACKARD
With the best prospects in
ten years of taking the Eastern
Intercollegiatcs championship,
the Penn State wrestling team
will begin its two-clay siege at
Palestra hall, in Philadelphia,
this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Despite Coach Charlie Spei-
del's warning about not counting
champions before they are
hatched; and despite the fact
that H. Ridge Riley, local self
admitted sports prognosticator
extraordinary, asserts that Penn
State will have no more. than
two individual wrestling champions—
I predict that the Lions will win the
tournament with comparative case,
and will snare at least three (and
probably four) individual charapioni
ships.
Although there will be eight teams
in the tournament, the affair will un
doubtedly resolve itself into a three
-cornered tangle between Lehigh,
ripeetop, ; . • and_ t Penn, State.. All of,
eight: individual : Groans 'well• `go
to wrestlers from these three schools.
However, Coach Speidel's line-up,
which he released to the COLLEGIAN
immediately before leaving for Phila
delphia, looks like a sure-fire com
bination. The major change is that
Bill Cramer will• drop down to the
145-Pound class for the tourney.
In this weight, Cramer seems• al
most a certain winner. His place in
the 155-pound class will be taken by
Paul Civitts.
Penn State is almost certain of
having five men take either first or
second places. All five are potential
champions. These men are Capt. Red
I Johnston, Bill Cramer, Ray Yoder,
Jack Light, and Sammy Wolfson.
Their chances of winning crowns is
indicated by the order in which they
are listed. Besides these, there is a
very good chance that either Joe
O'Dowd, Scammy Dißito, or Paul
Civitts will . capture a third place.
In the 118-pound class, if Lehigh's
undefeated Ashman can make the
weight without weakening himself
much, he is favored to win over
Sammy Wolfson. However, many
local observers believe that Sammy
can take him, regardless. In the next
class, Lehigh will probably have an
other champion in Captain Case.
However, Cornell's Nathan and Scam
my Dißito will give him plenty of
trouble.
The 135-pound class will go a long
ways toward determining the winner
of the tourney. Jack Light will meet
his stiffest competition of the year in
Brud Perry, Princeton's undefeated
hope. Yale's Vales is also strong. In
the next weight, Bill Cramer should
win, although he will be hard pressed
by Yale's Captain Hull, and Syra
cuse's Captain Servis. If Princeton's
sensational Gregory should also be
dropped to the 145-pound class, his
clash with Cramer would be the talk
of the tourney.
However, it is likely that he will
try to avoid Cramer and stay in the
155-pound class. There again, he will
find himself in hot water; with Le
high's Crockett and Cornell's Brown
ell to worry about. Unless Princeton's
Triode, only other reigning champion
in the tournament besides. Johnston,
decides to stay in the 165-pound class,
where be has been wrestling all year,
Capt. Red will hardly have to stir to
retain his title. All of the potent men
in that general section of the scales
are cagily staying clear of Johnston,
and are either dropping to 155-pounds ,
or going up to 175-pounds. This ex
plains Crockett's and Brownell's exit
to the 155-pound class, and Triede's
and Lehigh's Goodrich's abdiction to
the 175-pound class.
But the later are simply, and na
ively, jumping out of the frying pan
into Ray Yoder's capable arms. In
addition, Harvard's unbeaten Emory
and •Columbia's impressive King will
probably be there. However, I .pick
Ray to win. In the unlimited clans,
Lehigh's Scobey is favored.

165 POUND CiMNIPION
Players Will 'Give
`Peace On Earth'
Date of Radical Anti-War Show
Which Jarred Broadway
Set-for April 23.
'Peace on - Earth," 'a radicEiCiiiitii:
war play which jarred Broadway last
year; will be presented by the Penn
State Players on April 13, Frank J:
Neusbaum, director, announced yes
terday.
Casting is still going on for the
play, the rehearsals being held con
currently with those for "Ladies of
the Jury," the court room drama
which will be given March 30.
"Peace on Earth" was written by
George Skolar and Albert Maltz, both
of whom were trained at the Baker
experimental theatre at Yale.
Frankly offered as peace propa
ganda by the Theatre Union in No
vember, 1933, "Peace on Earth" has
been endorsed by many leading paci
fists.
The central character in the play
is an idealistic college professor who
is arrested for reading the Declara
tion of Independence at a protest
strike against a shipment of muni
tions. His friend is murdered by a
gunman hired by an ammunition
manufacturer who controls the col
lege's board of trustees.
The college professor, Owens, ex
poses the munitions manufacturer,
but is framed as a murderer and im
prisoned. The last act is one of ex
pressionism and symbolism, in which
Owens, in the death cell, hears the
forces of propaganda at work: the
collapse of the ministry and the
churches from their idealistic pin
nacle, the stampede of the liberals
under war pressure, and the futility
of the orthodox peace movement.
Dr. Black To Address
P.S.C. Chapel Sunday
Dr. Hugh Black, professor of prac
tical theology at Union Theological
Seminary, New York City, will ad
dress the regular College chapel
services in Schwab auditorium Sun

College. II•3 has received D. D. de
grees from Yale University, Prime
ton University, and Glasgow Univer
sity, and a doctor of letters degree
from the University of Pittsburgh.
Following his ordination in 1891,
the speaker served various churches
in Scotland until• 1906, when he came
to the United States. He has been
in his present post since that time.
He is the author of many volumes
on religious matters, having publish
ed his first book in 1804. His book,
"The Adventure of Man," published'

Criswell Will Defend
118-Pound Class Title
By HARRY HENDERSON
Six Penn State boxers will
battle for Eastern Intercoll

boxer, Rubs Criswell, will de
fend his 115-pound title, in the
bouts in which forty-four boxers
representing 10 different schools
will takb part, commencing in
Recreation hall, at 7 o'clock to
night. Captain Mike Zeleznock,
present 125-pound champ, will
seek this year's crown in the
135-pound class.
Toronto, which had previous
ly entered two men, one in the
115- and one in the 125-pound
classes, has withdrawn entire
! ly. The Toronto 125-pound
en-
Itrant has been replaced in the
bracketing by Yale's lone en
trant, Gardner, while Bennett,
Western Maryland, who was to fight
the 115-pound Toronto boxer now
draws a bye into the semi-finals.
,Gardnn*
State Draws 2 Byes
In the drawing State drew two
byes, in the 115- and 125-pound
classes, putting both Criswell and
Captain Mike Zeleznock into the semi
finals without raising a glove. The
preliminary rounds, consisting of
fifteen bouts, and at least two of the
semi-final bouts will be run off to
night.
The rest of the semi-finals, thirteen
bouts, will be held tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock. The finals and third
fights will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow
night. Tomorrow night's semi-finals
will be between Black, Syracuse 115-
pounder, and Bennett, Western Mary
land, a tough fight from hell to bell.
Bennett gained a questionable deci
sion over Criswell here several weeks
ago.
The other semi-final bout tomorrow
night wilt be between former Captain
Negroni, Syracuse, and Shea, Prince
ton. Negroni has not fought for the
Orange all this year but returned to
the team for the Intercollegiate tour
ney.
Heavyweight fans will get an early
chance to see lazy Richter, State, in
action against Big Jim Brown, of
Syracuse, who won a draw with him
here in a dual meet. They meet to
night in the only heavyweight bout of
the evening. Izzy claims that he can
lick Brown and we feel that he's
right in what he says.
The winner of the Richter-Brown
fight will meet Tom Pontecarvo,
Western Maryland's heavyweight
champ, Saturday night. Pontecarvo
has been-awarded decisions over both
Brown and Richter. After seeing
Richter fight both of them, we hold
the opinion that he can lick either
one of them and probably will.
Criswell To Defend Title
Criswell, State's 115-pound champ,
I will meet the winner of tonight's
I bout between Norton, M. I. T., and
Finer, Harvard, tomorrow afternoon
in the semi-finals. Regardless of who
wins he should take his opponent with
ease. The Black,. Syracuse, Bennett,
Western Maryland, go tonight will
be plenty tough but 'Bennett should
top Black by a narrow margin. So it
looks like Criswell and Bennett will
tight it out for the championship Sat
urday night.
Fronde McAndrews, State's 125-
pounder, will meet Captain Dick,
Army, in the semi-finals tonight. Last
week Dick decisioned him but things
will be Very tough 'for the cadet. The
winner of the McAndrews-Dick bout
will meet Volk, Rutgers, who drew a
bye, in the semi-finals. Either should
be able to take Volk, an unknown.
Since Gardner, Yale, has byed into
