they wished to have played.Paul C. Leonard '17, Chairman of The

Tech Board, after reading some con-gratulatory telegrams received from I.W. Litchfield and men in the servicestationed at Fortress Monroe and else-where, introduced as toastmaster for theevening, Mr. James P. Munroe, Secre-tary of the Corporation, and now en-gaged in war work in Washington.

Mr. Munroe spoke on the conditionswhich exist in the capitol. Washingtonis a very solemn place these days andone is fully impressed with the domi-nant strength- of- this -heterogeneouspopulace. No one shows signs of anydiscouragement, but, on the -contrary,everyone works under an added stimu-lus. Men inl Washington labor until 1.00and 2.00 o'clock at night, for time isproving one of the most important fac-tors, and though there is some bicker-inpfl, confusion and waste due to theextraordinary conditions, still the prog-ress is tremendous. There is no feelingbetween the Northern and Southernfactions and the poor man and rich manwork side by side. There is no graft.Men are too busy serving their countryto think of graft.

And in all departments there are tobe found Institute men, filling impor-tant positions. Men with technicaltraining are in a demand that has, neverbefore been felt. Everything is beingdone through applied science,

The toastmaster said he was proudof the undergraduates who have shownwisdom in continuing their work atTeclmology and thereby fitting them-selves to better accomplish the tasksthat await them. The Class of 1917 wasexceptionally fortunate in having grad-uated at a time when it could be of somuch service to the country, and ofthe members of this class almost allare in some branch of the service.

Hospitals are being prepared for dis-abled men who will be sent back wound-ed and every possible means is beingexerted to be able to fit them to take

subject at the first Powv-wow held in|the Wtalker Memorial yesterday. His|audience, numnbering two hundred stu-|dents, wvas seated ill the main dining

> lall, where they wvere served with re-I|freshments after the completion of the

speech.To begin wvith, Capt. MaeRea es-

!|plained the importance of the raids,w lhic], lhe himself often personally led.

I Tlle chief purposes he said, is to maininformation of the disposition of enemyIforces along the front in preparation for

|crease the ardor of their onin infantrytc. attack.|Tlle method of gaining the desired in-

i formation, while apparently trivial, is|productive of the most complete results.IThey only have to bring, back one pris-|oner, said Capt. M~acRea. in order to at-|tain their end, which is to find out fronlihis identification tag, what Gra|bri-gade occupies the nsector opposite|them. By this means the generals plan-Ining an attack can kleep track of enemyjmovements and can tell where they may|best make the attack. By further cor-relating this iniformation, the army|headquarters is enabled to draw up anl|accurate map of the position of the va-Irious German divisions.|Having thus fixed in the minds of his

Iaudience the importance of the trench|l'aidS,; Capt. lkacRea proceeded to out-|line the preparation and execution. Menmust be picked with the greatest ofceare and must be really specialists in|this line. A man must have the "dash';

Senior Class, then stated that it is es-sential to have the student activities.continue as in past years. He said that,the Student Tax had met with fair suc--eess and that next week would see the=beginning of the Y. M. C. A. campaigito raise money among the different col-leges for war work. Technology is ex-pected to raise $10,000. Many othercolleges have obtained the requitedamounts and with thse co-operation oflthe student body the Institute oughtnot to fail to reach the required goalVran Kirk said that true loyalty to thecollege and the classes can be displayedby voting at the elections to be heldthe latter part of this week. In con-elusion, he thanked The Tech in behalfof the student body.

President Maclaurin, the next speak-er, called attention to the fact that thegathering was a, sort of informal dedi-eation of the Walker Memorial and'saidthat it das singularly appropriate thatthe building be dedicated to such a manas General WPalker. The President de-scribed the primary daty of the under-graduate as applying himself to seri-ous study with determined applicationto the work immediately before him.}Every undergraduate ought to take partin the school activities, the purposes ofwhich are to do something for all In-stitute men, graduate and undergradu-ate. President Maclaurin read a cable-gram from Paris which said "Tech holdsfirst college banquet at the UniversityUnion. Sends greetings," and he ex-pressed pride over the fact that Van R.Lansingh '98, is one of the directors of

FRESHMEN LEAD IN SCORE

The annual fall handicap meet wa

]leltl last Saturday afternoon on tl

Field. WTith the exception of a sligbwind the weather conditions were es

cellent. Nearly one hundred men frorail foul classes at the Institute con

peted.

Althou-h the meet was not an inter

class event, the freshmen, true to tra

dition, scored the greatest number a

points, totaling 56. The Sophomores fin

ished second with 40 tallies; the Senior

third with 16; while the Juniors aggregated 14.

Sheldon '21, captain of the freshmai

relay team, was the highest individua

point-winner, capturing first place i]

both hurdle events and third in the pol* ault. In the latter event, his actua

vault should have given him the secone

position, but the large handicap accredited Fletcher made a forfeit of the

honor necessary. Captain Wright '18

pushed the freshman relay captain tcthe utmost for individual points, gaining 11 to Sheldon's 12. Captain Wrighl

finished third in the l0-yard dash, sec-ond in the broad jump, first in the pole

vault, and fourth in the discus throw.

In both the 100-yard and 220-yard(ashes Bossert '20, ran the prettiest

race. Starting provokingly slow, hewould fairly eat up the track each time,

finishing second in the former and firstin the latter event. Owing to the ex-

In a letter from the office of the Chiefof Engineers, U. S. Army, he makes

the following statement in regard to allcandidates for the Re ,ular EngineerCorps:

'Of all the technieal schools whose-raduates have taken the examination,

the -Massachusetts Institute of Technol-oly has by far the best record, for, out

of the 35 who were appointed as a re-sult of the exaenination this year, 14were graduates of that institution, and

t he percentage was especinlly greatamongst those 'who made the best per-

centages in the examination."

The actual appointments to the gradeef 2nd Lieutenant, with their relative

1taldin,"s are as follow s: (1) Samuel L.

Kublln '17-T; (4) Wrilliam Lohmeyer, Jr.,'17-I; (5) William A. Clark '17-YXI;(7) Hubert W. Collins '17-I; (8) Har-

all the colleges of the country. We have

November 7, 1917.CO the Editor of The Tech:

Your readers may be interested tomnow that the Technology Workcroom.~or War Relief, located in Room 16,logers Building (491 Boylston Street,3oston), has now been in active opera-;ion for an entire month. Sweaters,'lippers, Comfort Bags, Identity Bags,Laundry Bags, and all kinds of wvarmMnitted things are being made therefind at the homes of the workers. Sev-!zral bundles are sent by parcel postvery w:eek to M~r. Lansingh, at thekmerican University Union in Paris, inresponse to a request from him, and'hese enable him to distribute sweaters,locks, w^ristlets, etc,, to those M. I. T.mien who are eagerly asking for them.

Bedside slippers are in much demandby our men at C~amp Devens. It is alsohoped to prov ide all MI. L. T. men in)ur armies in Europe with comfort bagsfor Christmas. These, each w ith a per-sonal message, are being mlailed direct-ly to the men th~emselves so far as in-Jividual addresses are complete. Apacking case containing a large numberof the same gifts is being sent to Mr.Lansingli for those whose addresses areunknown at the W~orkiroom.

A number of men going, into activeservice have visited the Workroom andhave beer. fitted ouit with such thingsas they wished to have, some 'wantingknitted garments, and all glad to havethe khaki bags.

At the earnest request of officers sta-tionled at Camp Devens, bsooks have alsobeen sent to Technology men there,which are packed in specially preparedboxses constituting small personal li-braries. W~e 'have also been asked tosend some of these boxes of books toFort Strong, in Boston Harbor, andwrithin a day or tw o a similar requesthas also come from Pensacola, Florida.The Committee feels that the Work-room has already justified its establish-ment and hopes- reatly to extend itsfield of Service.

Our future depends wholly on thelecree to which the Workroom is sup-

ported ber the weives, mothers and sistersof Tcchnologgy men. If every one whoreads this will1 only tell such women ofour existence and urge them to come toRogers oll 'fo-nday and Thursday after-noons or on Tuesday and Friday morn-ings, ee shall be able to infinitely in-crease our usefulness.

DUTY OUTLINED AT TECH DINNER

THE TECH "W\;artime Dinner" wvas a decided success. Themain dining hall of the Walker Memorial was filled witfhundergraduates, alumni, members of the Faculty and others

connected in some way with Technology. As was planned, pa-triotism wvas the keynote of the assembly. No) one who attendedcould help but be impressed by the work of Technology in this"World W;\ar" however little may be heard of it from extraneoussources. That Technology is doing her bit cannot be doubted inthe least. We were assured of that numerous times during ILhe,evening by the speakers; and thev know.

Those who missed the dinner have in their memories a voidwhere there should be th~e recollection of an eventful happening inthe history of the Institute. As President Maclaurin stated, thedinner was in a way the dedication of the Wtalker Memorial, buteven more important wXas the service it performed in bringing themen to a realization of their duties in the present crisis. It wouldbe futile to attempt to give here even a brief restlme of what wassaid. This much, however, may be stated-Thae underoraduate'sway is clear; he should continue his work here with increased'diligence. This is practically the gist of all the speakers' advice.As was often reiterated, this war is one which wsill be decided by thework of technically trained men. Otlr dutyr, tlherefore, is to com-plete our training and later enter the cotintrv's service. W;e areassured by those who should know that this atvar is to last for yearsand that every one of tls will have the opportunitv to better enlist,our services later. Every undergraduate at the Institutte shouldhlave his course of action outlined and that course should be the onewhich swe were advised to take.

THE WAR WORK FUND

campaign in the proper manner, Techlnolog~v shrill in no smallway add to her alreadv excellent record of wvar service. The cam-paign is wNithoult doubt one for a wRorth+- catlse.

"The Americans in France have samerations as at home. Keep your goldmedal cot in your own bedding roll.Settle all business before you leave, be-cause it is a long time between drinksand mail here. It is hard to get toParis or London even if there is nothingto do. Make the men allot and depositmoney. There are no women, plenty ofprofessional gamblers and much cordial.All are paid in French money at 5.70francs for $1."

The Washington office was fortunatethis week in receiving visits from twomembers of the executive committee ofthe M. I. T. Committee for NationalService. Mr. F. A. Smythe '89, of El-I ria, Ohio, and Mr. Charles W. Eaton'85, of Haverhill, Mass., both called andwe believe this office will benefit by thewords of advice and encouragement giv-en by these two loyal Technology sup-porters.

Archibald M .Eicher '12, called againthis week and gave us an opportunityto wish him "Bon Voyage." He expectsto sail for France in a few days.

We also received calls from the fol-|loing:-A. T. Hopkins '97, C. L. Pitkin'08, H. G. Manning '12, B. T. Rauber '14.

FIRST POW-WOW

(Continued from page 1)portant: to bomb and bayonet the Ger-mans out of their trench.

The preparation for the raid startswith an artillery bombardment whichcuts up the barbed-wire entanglements. |A barrage is first used to cut gaps Ithrough the enemy wire and is followedby high-explosive shells which sweepaway what is left. Then the fire is con-,centrated on the enemy trenches to clearout machine gun nests or other resist- Iance which the Germans may have pre-pared for any such emergency. ,

At a certain moment, after it is,thought that the artillery work is com- iplete, the raiding party "goes over."}Their advance across "No Man's Land"is the most dangerous part of the under- |taking, for unless the artillery hias been ]entirely successful, one machine gun]may still be left. If this is the case, thewhole party is soon wiped out. A greatdeal thus depends on the artillery, butsince there is no absolute certainty thateverything has been levelled down, thisrisk always exists to make the raid in-teresting, according to Capt. MacRea.
