THE Technology School of Mqilitary Aeronautics at the Institute was closed last Saturday, and the above picture shows the last squadron to be graduated from this ground school. This squadron will be given ten days furlough, after which the members will be sent to some flying field to continue their training. The other squadrons now training here will be sent to the ground school ,at Cornell University. The graduating squadron entered the Institute twelve weeks ago, thirty strong, but after the series of examinations, only seventeen of the original num- ber are left. There have been several additions since the class entered, how-, ever. A11 the members of the squadron expect to be pilots, although they have taken some of the subjects necessary for observers. The subjects which the men have pursued have included radio work, gun- nery, the study of aviation engines, rigging, map-reading, artillery and observa- tion. Besides the studies there has been considerable drill and gas mask work.

ANOTHER "UNION"?OrTPONT looking back, over the past year, wve must admit thatT the proud spirit of T-echnology has been decidedly broken.

There has been a -radual subsidence of the enthusiasm andpride that marked the first year in Cambridge, Which has been re-flected as strongly on the studies as on matters outside of the class:-room. Tshe lack of school spirit and loss of interest in the Instituteand Institute affairs has gone parallel with a similar attitude towardthe school work. Just when Technolog- hudbeoeo the5th

est and most active places in the whole country, workin- with onehundred percent efficiency, a dark cloud settles down on ev~ery-thing, and everybody suddenly feels smothered and oppressed, over-come with intense desire to throw up the work and get out just asquickly as possible.

'There never oras a day when the country needed engineeringstudents more to follow up their profession. Yet how few havedone it of late!I HowN many have shifted into the Ambtllance Corps,Navty, Infantry, Aviation Corps, and what not, instead of takingtheir places as en-ineers!

Loss of interest, fire believe, has had more to do with the drop-ping out of freshmen, junior-freshmen and Sophomores than is gen-erally realized. The life and spirit and among the student bodyhad ~died out because everything has been taken away that lendsthe enthusiasm and "pep" that Z-carries a college man through hisYork and is necessarv to his success.

As this is a matter that has to do directly with the welfare ofthe whole student body, we hope that the Institute Committee wvillgive the matter more serious attention. It is clearly their functionto remedyr matters if anyone can.

WVe hope that the coming of the S. A. T. C. will prove a salv a-tion to Technology and that no longer visitors, Army and -NavyT menstationed here, will remark at the impressiveness of the org~aniza-tion anal then blonder where the student body is. There havre beenmore than six hundred of us here this summer, probably, fifty percenlt more than a college the size of Bowdoin ever registered setivetildl anv one ever suspect it.
