,Il']- I N ETY-FOUR isX j~i " 4~Bl here, and Ninety-

:: :/, a.> !, three has passed in-II i · to history. Probably

before TiHiE TECHhas reached its read-ers, every one hasresurrected his dusty

and time-worn resolutions which have done abrief service at so many New Years, and witha pathetic sigh has tried to persuade himselfthat they shall be kept.

Ninety-three has been certainly a mostmemorable year. Technology has grown inextent of territory, in the number of students,and in the estimation of the public. By theacquisition of the Winslow Rink propertywe are assured of a place where we mayexpand when the necessary funds are secured.In the number of students the one thousandmark is now far behind; and almost before werealize it, fifteen hundred loyal men will throngTechnology's halls. At the Fair we were

shown to the world in the most favorablelight, and our exhibit there cannot fail to leadto a better appreciation of the true magnitudeand value of the work which Technology isdoing.

In view of these things, then, the New Yearis radiant with hope. To sustain the name wehave won, and to secure a realization of thesesigns of a brilliant future, depends in a greatmeasure upon the students. Let every maninclude in his good resolutions a steadfast pur-pose to add to the power and fame of Tech-nology, by supporting her institutions and byadvertising her with a college man's enthu-siasm at every opportunity. To such menespecially, and to every one from Presidentto office boy, THE TECH wishes a long suc-cession of Happy New Years.

7+NITH this number we close our issue for theterm, regretting only that THE TECH can-

not appear constantly throughout the collegeyear; but, like other mortals, the editors areobliged to take the bit in their teeth and strug-gle patiently through the "semies."

The time is here when practically all out-side work must be suspended; when body andmind must be fresh for the two weeks' strainimposed upon them. Two weeks of steadyexamination are no play for the average stu-dent, and hence it is meet that they shouldbodily, as well as mentally, be prepared for theencounter. Those who have neglected workare feverishly grinding up page after page,even forgetting sleep in their anxiety to coverall the ground possible. This we regret; butsince under our present system of examinationsit seems inevitable, for the coming trial wecan recommend only that a good sleep, pro-ducing a clear head for the following day, is

TheIIII

i44 TH_ E~II

worth many hours of cramming up a confusedmass of formulke, dates, and propositions, andthen wish success to one and all in the contest.During vacation, when lessons are forgottenand future troubles are still unknown, whenlife and gayety may fill the time unmarred by

duty's warning voice, then THE TECH wishesto all such a happy, merry time, that, forget-

ting the toil and discouragement of the past

term, all will return strengthened and readyfor the second term, full of renewed hope andlove for Technology.

HE programme for the present year, which

has recently been issued, is essentiallysimilar to that of last year; differing from theannual catalogue only in the omission of theschedule of topics and the register of studentsand graduates. A review shows that the needsof the ever-increasing body of students are wellkept in mind. Noticeable among the changesin topics are those relating to history, politicalscience, and economics, showing that theeducation offered by Technology on other

subjects than scientific is rapidly broadeningand constantly increasing for all students.The summer schools receive more attention,

and the number of lecturers has been in-creased. Larger print and several changesin arrangement present a better programme

than was issued last year.

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for o5in-

ions expressed by corresptondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:-

In THE TECH of December I 4 th it is urged that thetitle "Technology" be made symbolical of our college.This, it seems to me, is just what should be done.And, in view of this, why should we not also have aT for our symbol? Some one says T stands for Tuftsor Trinity. I believe we have a right to the T on thesame grounds that were given in THE TECH, for ourright to Technology above Stevens Institute of Tech-nology or others. The only dispute that might arise toour claim would be from Tulane, the only other collegewith the initial T, and of which we rarely, if ever, hear.

In two years, at the present relative increase, evenTulane will not be able to dispute us on account of itssize. Our athletes wear a T on their sweaters, and wehave a T on our flags. Then why not have a collegepin with a T on it, and make it known that T stands

for "Technology."

THE TIECH.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE 1TECH:

There were published in the last issue of THE TECHsome criticisms upon a communication of mine in aprevious issue in regard to tipping hats to the profes-sors. The writers seem to think that I am not readyto give the professors the respect due them. I con-sider this inference unfair. I criticized the salute,not because it was given to professors, but because itwas given only to professors. If it were given byevery honorable man to every other honorable man,my objection would be merely that it was unnecessary,not that it was harmful. But as long as it is conferredupon the members of but a single occupation, I thinkit is to be condemned. A member of the Facultyadvocates this practice, not as a mark of respect tothe professor as an individual, but as a tribute to theidea which he represents,-the idea of learning. " Thequestion of the individual professor has, of course,nothing to do with this." Then why not salute everyrepresentative of this idea? Every student, everybookstore, every library, and every schoolhouse repre-sents it.

The gentleman's whole argument seems to be basedupon the idea that "learning alone is God, and thecollege professor is his prophet." Now, I think wemay find other ideas worthy of our respect. Everysoldier represents an idea,-an idea which has thrilledthe hearts of men from Leonidas to Webster; an ideawithout which learning would languish and decay, theidea of patriotism. Is not the representative of thisidea to be respected as well as the college professor?Moreover, the ideas of honor, honesty, and purity, areworthy ones. Why not lift the hat to the representa-tives of these ? In short, every honest man is worthy,and represents an idea which is worthy of our sincererespect.

The gentleman refers to the Scripture method ofgiving honor to whom honor is due. That is preciselywhat I wish, and not that system of giving honor inone place where it is due and withholding in all others;a system which the gentleman practically upholds.Many a college professor's education has been paid bya father who has been forced to practice rigid economyin order to give his son the advantages of which hehimself was deprived. Is not this pure, unselfish sacri-fice quite as worthy of our respect as that devotion ofthe beneficent professor which the gentleman has de-scribed in such glowing terms?

However, I think men should be respected for whatthey are, and not for what they represent. What has

given learning, patriotism, and honor their eminenceand luster, if not efforts and sacrifices of individuals?Then why not give our respect to the workman as wellas to the work, whether the workman be professor,soldier, or merchant?

The gentleman asks whether I have " considered thedifference between an occupation which is mere self-seeking, and one which is worthy of honor," etc.?All that I care to say in answer to this is, that experi-ence has convinced me that the college professor is asmindful of his compensation as the average mortal.

The editors of THE TECH think we should be re-spectful to our elders, and they are right. But if theythink that only such of our elders as are college pro-fessors deserve our respect, I beg leave to disagree.This salute of respect, then, should be given to everyhonest man. or to none, and the unjust discriminationin favor of professors should be abandoned.

C.

The Architects' Bohemian Supper.

ALTHOUGH the examinations were onlya week off, the Architectural Society hadtwenty-five members at their Bohemian sup-per, which occurred last Friday night. Thisevening was a repetition of the suppers of lastyear, and that means a success.

The entertainment began with collegesongs, which were immediately followed bya description of a very interesting building,by Mr. W. R. Hill. Mr. Ross Turner, whoarrived about this time, gave an excellent andinteresting description of Bohemian life, andespecially of their suppers. His remarkscalled forth much applause from his pupils.Speeches, stories, and music were continuedthroughout the supper, which was served in atruly Bohemian style. As the supper pro-ceeded, each member was supplied with anold-fashioned, long-stemmed Dutch pipe,some tobacco, and a match. Short-armedmembers, however, were obliged to get alight from the gas jet, on account of thelength of the pipestems.

As the smoke thickened the spirits rose.Mr. G. A. Nichols sang a comical song, andMr. B. S. Harrison read a paper on the

145

146 THE TE CH.

" History of Renaissance," which placed thesubject in an entirely new light. The articlewas rousingly applauded, and frequently in-terrupted by laughter. Mr. H. E. Hewittsang a bass solo in a manner that showed hebelonged to the Glee Club. He was followedby the three stars of the evening, Messrs. D.P. Hart, J. W. Ames, and C. A. Phillips,who composed a song for the occasion, andrendered it in a very artistic style, with guitaraccompaniment. The Bohemian plates fairlyjumped on the table from the round ofapplause which followed, and many a pipe-stern left its bowl admidst the frantic applauseof its owner for the encores. Mr. A. Owenfollowed by reading a most excellent and in-teresting poem in negro dialect. Coming ashe does from the extreme South, Mr. Owenwas able to satisfy the most exacting critic byhis reading. Next on the programme wasMr. G. F. Sheppard, who carefully felt hisway through the smoke to his chair near thepiano. After being introduced as the leaderof the best banjo club in the country, Mr.Sheppard sat down to prove the truth of theseintroductory remarks, which he did to thesatisfaction of all present. Mr. Sheppardafterward played a "breakdown," whichbrought Mr. Thomas to his feet. The lattereven convulsed the negro waiters in laughterby the inimitable manner in which he danceda genuine negro clog.

The remainder of the night was spent instory telling, in which Messrs. Thomas andAmnes again appeared as stars. They wereably assisted by "Colones" MacGoodwin, ofKentucky. After giving the Tech yell, theSociety went down street in a body, pipes inhand. They will undoubtedly make these sup-pers monthly events in the future.

rTHIER TRECH.

On or before Saturday, January 6th, everyspecial student is requested to deposit in the" Technique" box in Rogers corridor a mem-orandum of the class and course to which hebelongs.

At the debut of Le Cercle Fran~ais thetwo plays "' L'Amour de I'Art," and " L'Anda-louse," will be presented. During the inter-mission the audience will be entertained bysome fantastic dances, ballet or otherwise.

The '96 class canes arrived last week, andseemed to fulfill the expectations of the pur-chasers. The designs in silver are both neatand substantial, and, together with the darkforeign stick, produce a cane well worthhaving.

Any student who is a member of any fra-ternity having no chapter at Technology mustleave at the Cage his name, the name of hisfraternity, and the name of his former college,on or before January 8th, for C. F. Tilling-hast, Box 15, in order to insure publication in"Technique."

The students of Courses I. and XI. accom-panied Professor Porter to Worcester onTuesday, December I2th, on a visit to theworks for the chemical treatment of the sew-age of that city. These works have beenenlarged during the past year, so that theynow take care of the entire sewage of the city.

The annual copper run in the mining lab-oratory was made December Ig9th. The runlasted from 8.30 A. M. to 3.30 P. M., duringwhich time fifteen hundred pounds of ore,assaying eighteen per cent of copper, were putthrough. The main interest centered in thepeculiar composition of the slag, which wascalculated to contain seventeen per cent ofalumina.

The Glee and Banjo Clubs discoursed sweetmusic at the University Club on Beacon Streetthe Saturday evening before Christmas. LastMonday night they gave a full concert at theParker Memorial, which was the last one of

the term. February Ist they give a concertin Chelsea, and during the same week theywill probably assist at the presentation ofthe Cadets' new play.

Lieutenant Hawthorne has announced thatthe award of offices will be made at thebeginning of the second term. The award isto be based on the standing of men at the semi-annual examinations, with an allowance forgood conduct in the drill hall during the termjust closing. There will be four captains,eight lieutenants, four first sergeants, togetherwith the usual number of other non-com-missioned officers.

Twelve members of the class of '77 dinedat Young's Hotel, Wednesday evening, De-cember 27th. Those who were present were:J. E. Hardman, of Nova Scotia; GeorgeBartol, of Cleveland, Ohio; H. D. Hibbard,of New Jersey; H. H. Carter, A. L. Plimp-ton, Walter Jenney, of Boston; H. C. South-worth, of West Stoughton; J. P. Gray, ofLowell; R. A. Hale, of Lawrence; G. H.Hewett, of Aspen, Colorado; E. H. Gowing,and G. A. Nelson.

A test of the boilers in the Rogers Buildingwas carried on last week, from Wednes-day afternoon until Saturday morning. Thetime was divided into periods of eight hourseach, six or eight men being detailed foreach period. Course X. men were placedin charge of the gas analyses, which weremade by some of the divisions every fifteenminutes. The work required the closest ap-plication, and every man felt relieved when histime of service expired.

On Wednesday evening, December 27th,Mr. Herbert Watson Alden, '93, and MissMadeline Grier were married at the MassasoitClub, Chester Square. The ceremony wasperformed at eight o6clock by the Rev. N.Boynton, of the Union CongregationalChurch. After the ceremony a receptionwas held, at which many Freshmen were

present. The ushers were Messrs. Fowle,Blake, Farwell, and Merrill, all of '93- Mr.and Mrs. Alden will make their future homeat Lynn, where Mr. Alden holds a positionwith the American Projectile Co.

At a meeting of the Glee and Banjo Club,held in THE TECH office last Friday, thepropositions from the alumni in Chicago for aconcert in that city upon the 26th of Januarywere considered. On account of the hardtimes they cannot raise the full guaranteedeemed necessary by the clubs to ensure asuccessful trip, although they are exceedinglyanxious to have the clubs present at theirannual banquet on the following evening. Itwas, therefore, voted to postpone the trip untilnext year, as many other college clubs havedone. In place of this a short New Englandtour is now being planned.

The Civil Engineering Society held a regu-lar meeting Wednesday evening December27th. Mr. Edward P. Adams, lighthouse sur-veyor, first and second districts, gave a mostinteresting and instructive lecture on the light-house system of the United States, illustratedby a number of charts, photographs, andstereopticon slides. Mr. Adams gave a shortreview of the history of the lighthouse sys-tem, and dwelt some time upon the principleswhich characterize it to-day. He explainedthe different refractors in use, and the dimen-sions and the magnitude of the lights alongthe coast. The lecture was fairly well attended,considering the busy times. Mr. S. K. Clapp,'96, and Mr. F. C. Greene, '96, were electedactive members.

The most important matter which came be-fore the Senior class in their meeting onThursday, December 28th, was the report ofthe photograph committee through its chair-man, C. A. MacClure. The old custom ofhaving cabinet photographs taken of all themembers of the class by the same photog-rapher, will be continued, and the members

of the class can purchase as many photographsof members of the Faculty or of their friends asthey desire. It is, however, expensive to pur-chase many cabinet photographs, and manymen would not be able to get pictures of alltheir friends; the committee have, therefore,decided to publish a portfolio containing pic-tures of the buildings, organizations, and famil-iar scenes of the Institute, pictures of themembers of the Faculty, and a picture of everyman in the class. Such a portfolio will notcost more than five or six dollars. The classaccepted the report of the committee and gavethem full power to carry out their plan. Thetreasurer of the class was empowered to col-lect enough money from the members of theclass to defray the expenses of the class athleticteam and such other bills as may be presented.The chair informed the class that the InstituteCommittee proposed to obtain a special bulletinboard for student events, to be paid for by thefour classes of the Institute. The class votedto support the Institute Committee in thismatter.

Why?

I wonder why the InstituteIs builded six miles high,

And flights of stairs and landingsGo winding to the sky?

I wonder why?

I wonder why the "plates" are dueA couple in a day,

And work and lessons double upIn such a weary way?

I wonder why?

I wonder why the chocolate pieIs always giving out,

And all the oyster stew is goneBefore I get about?

I wonder why?

There are so many curious thingsI would they were not so;

And yet, we think the InstituteSo jolly, don't you know?

I wonder why?

An Episode.The rain fell down upon the street,

And made some mud.The student slipped, and took a seat

With hollows thud.

The rain had done the best it knew,And felt content,

While language flowed, of azure blue,Till wrath was spent.

A maiden passed and sweetly smiled,It pleased her so.

But student's heart grew strangelv mildToward his fair foe.

For, as she passed, the mud still hadIts work to do;

And soon beside the startled youth,She sat down too.

THE 1iECECH.

Team racing will be the feature of indoormeetings this winter.

Mr. Boos is recovering fiom a severe strainreceived in the gymnasium about a week agowhile trying to lift the heavy dumb-bell.

The Gym is taking its vacation now.

"Burnett," says one of the dailies "handleshimself like an old-time professional." Bur-nett surely is a very pretty and easy jumper.

John Graham, athletic manager of the B.A. A., is trying to arrange a team racebetween Brown University and Technology asa special attraction at the big B. A. A. gamesin Mechanics Building, February Ioth.

The sparring and wrestling meeting may beheld a little later, as the contestants do notcare to train during the vacation. It may beopen to B. A. A., H. A. A. and Technologyinstead of a closed meeting as at first planned.It is thought that there is not enough interestat home to warrant a successful meet.

Tile Athletic Club is undertaking more thisyear than ever before. Now that the indoorclass championship games and the cross-country run are over, its attention is directedto a sparring and wrestling meeting. MarchIoth, the New England championship gamesand the Technology class team-race are heldin the South Armory under the auspices ofthe club; late in March a second sparringmeeting, and in April a set of bicycle raceswith Harvard, are planned. On May 5ththe annual spring games for the class cham-pionship cup occur on Holmes Field.

A letter has been received from the NewEngland Intercollegiate A. A. asking the

M. I. T. A. C. to join the above-named asso-ciation, as Tech is the only strong athletic in-stitution that does not belong to it. The ques-tion was raised last year and generally dis-cussed and it was thought that no benefit wouldresult from joining, as their outdoor champion-ship meeting occurred about the time of ourannual examinations. If, however, this meet-ing were held earlier or later for our con-venience, it might be wise to apply for admis-sion, as the association is fast becoming theequal of the older intercollegiate associationboth in its records and in the excellence of itsmeetings. It would be of material interest tothe association and Technology to have theAthletic Club join the N. E. I. A. A. and getthe benefit that all the other colleges do fromits championship meetings. Surely we can-not be represented any less there than we havebeen at the championship meetings of theN. E. A. A. A. U., and our associates by join-ing the Intercollegiate Association would bemuch pleasanter.

The M. I. T. A. C. will hold the NewEngland indoor championships if the SouthArmory can be obtained. March Ioth is thedate desired.

One attraction at the B. A. A. games willbe a team race between M. I. T. and W. P. I.

Next year the cross-county run will be heldabout a month earlier. It is too cold for goodresults in December.

J. Dove, '96, and G. Lawson, '96, will runthe sprints in the outdoor games.

The Worcester Athletic Club tried to ar-range a team race between the WorcesterPolytechnic Institute and Technology for theirgames in January. The offer was declined,as the meeting occurs in the middle of oursemiannual examinations. It is hoped thatthe teams will try conclusions again, as theW. P. I. team was given the race last yearon a technicality, although we actually won it.

Technology has never been so strong inathletics as now.

THE~1 TEH 5

THAT is a jolly Sophomore class we have this year.The Lounger welcomes a display of energy, and hasfollowed the exuberance of these sturdy students withmuch interest. The class cane now attracts his atten-tion, and he would compliment the ambitious twirlerson their "spirit." Spirit is a good thing if the brandbe a good one, but the Lounger does not favor a tooeffervescent overflow. He cannot but remind thesedaring young bloods that the recitation room andlecture hall is scarcely the place for a fancy walkingstick, even though its tip be of "sterling silver," itsprice four dollars, and the dazzling name of ' 9 6 beattractively displayed upon it. In view of the successof the Sophomore rush, the Lounger suggested theright to twirl the sticks with all pomposity possibletill the rush was forgotten. The time is now comewhen the appearance of Sophomore canes does notsuggest a well-planned victory, but rather smacks ofsnobbery. The particular cane in question seems apretty creation such as may well grace a wall adornedwith souvenirs, or accompany the lonely Sophomore inhis evening perambulations. The custom of classcanes created by the Sophomores is a good one. Ourhonored Juniors attempted such a scheme last year,but with their customary enthusiasm it ended in an'investigation" and the collection of sundry samplecanes for the edification of t.he committee. TheLounger, therefore, gives due credit to the Sophomoresfor an interest that is limited by neither trouble norexpense, but he trusts that good sense will keel) thecanes from the corridors.

The semiannual whirlpool now begins to whirl, andthe vortex of examination cannot much longer beavoided. How many of Tech's bravest will live to tellthe tale is a matter of conjection for the gods. TheLounger, nevertheless, offers his cheer and good will toall, and suggests that despite faculty judgment the sumiof human knowledge has never yet been confined

within the meager covers of a blue book. We neednot be discouraged then, though the profs. may laughat us. Harsh experience is often a good teacher, andsurely we shall have enough of its teaching in the nexttwo weeks. Hard fate and necessity it is that forcesthese days of cramming upon us when the joys of lifeare forgotten and the peaceful current of existence ischhn ged to a tumultuous torrent. Eivery year theLounger beholds this encircling current seize hisdearest friends, hurry them from him, and whirl themabout till their uncertain progress eludes his sight.After a two weeks' struggle they emerge with doubtfulgreeting, wondering whether confidence again will berestored, or whether they will be cast down by theunremitting exactions of the Faculty members. Evenour friends, the professors, now assume a cold, sternlook to show that they, too, are impressed with theawfulness of the very questions that they have con-cocted.

The obituary calendar is at hand; and again, eachfast-flying day seems a week in length, and the end along way off. Yet soon will recitation and lecture beat an end, and the library, drawing-room, and shopwill be deserted. Friends will speak in whispers as thesilent hours of a sleepless night pass ere the ordeal isat hand. In the buildings a solemn quiet will thenbrood over all, while the hasty pens scanmper overblank books, endeavoring in a few short hours to statethe work of weeks according to the peculiar style thatwill strike the fancy of the exacting examiner. Againwill the obsequious instructor strut up and down theroom in the calm satisfaction of superior dignity andconsequent freedom from trial. Again he will solemnlywarn the trembling ones that "under no mitigating cir-cumstances whatever will any attempt at deception becountenanced." Truly these are harsh words for him,who at best, contemplates but a bold, bad bluff! Butat last the busy hours will be gone. The happy seasonwhen student and instructor regard each otherwith distrust will be over. Again the Lounger will seethe uncertain ones endeavoring, by mutual question-ing, to be assured of another flunk averted. The lastsad day is then no more, and only the mysteries of theprofessor's decision know its fate, for the silent corri-dors tell no tale of the departed.

Such are the experiences of examination time.For fourteen days are the pleasures, and even the ne-cessities of life forgotten, that we may all imitatethe best of sponges. When the examination strain isover the quintessence of knowledge has been removed

and the facultative analysis begins. Sad, indeed,would be our fate were it not for the pleasures that arethen at hand. For a succeeding week we may revelcarelessly in the lighter joys of life regardless of the vir-tues of learning and the greatness of human wisdom.Examination terrors will again be over, save the in-truding communication that renminds us of our " con-ditiojn," or' perchanlce of a worse fate, ere the round ofanother term begins. In the meanwhile the loungeroffers his sympathy to professor and student alike, andtrusts that no faces will be missing when Februaryappears.

DEVOTION.

Somewhere upon this whirling globeA maiden there must be,-

And oh, Timl ToldWas a pirate bold,

And he sailed in a Chinese junk;And he loved, ah me !Sweet Wing Tee Wee,

But his valiant heart had sunk.So he drowned his blues in fickle fizz,And vowed the maid would yet be his.

So bold Tim ToldShowed all his gold

And never more came back;For in fair China the maids are fair,And the maids are false, as everywhere.

If Love is blind, why should it beThat I, a purblind wight, should seeThe love light like a day dawn rise,And flood with beauty two sweet eyes,-The light that will not shine for me?

Ah, too unkind, if Love is blind!

And when her face in sorry plight,With smiles that should be dimpled quite,

Half drowns its sweetness in the tideOf tears for love still unrequite,Ah, fain would I my liie's price payTo charm those tears to smiles away;

Why should the guerdon be denied?

If Love were blind, ah, Grief, how kind!-- Yale ,it.

A POET.

In youth I dreamt of pleasure-castles high;Of servants, bowing at my mere command;Of steeds, that prancing in the stalls should stand;

Of courtiers come to please, from every sky.

Night's mingling blood-red wine with music sigh,Or orgies wild; of maids a burning band,Weaving entrancing mazes hand in hand;

Or at the feast, mating the couch, to lie.

Thus dreamt I in my youth; now in my ageI have my wish. My words my servants are;My sentences prance forth and go afar.

W7ith them my hot desire I assuage,Or serious turn e'en as to charm a sage:

None but myself my castle bright may mar.;-act rva rd A dvocaie,
