IN recent years there has been more or lesstalk in the air as to the advisability of ne-

gotiating a track athletic league with Brown.THE TECH wishes to bring this matter forwardonce more, and to urge its serious considera-tion. A set of dual games a short time beforethe Worcester meet would give the best possi-ble training for that event, and would be excel-lent as a means of arousing a wider enthusiasmamong the students at large. Brown seemsour most natural opponent, being, like our-selves, shut out of the " triple alliance"of Dartmouth, Amherst, and Williams, andalso from the generous rivalry which has al-ways existed between the two colleges. TheExecutive Committee of the M. I. T. A. C.discussed the matter last Monday and the planmet with general approval, the great objectionbeing a financial one. We hope to hear fromthe Brit0nonian as to the feeling among thestudents at Brown toward such a scheme, andshall be glad of correspondence from all Tech-nology men interested. If the plan meets with

approval, a mass meeting to discuss the finan-cial side would doubtless fiurnish as ready ananswer as did that of last spring, which sentthe relay team to Philadelphia with such goodresults.

HE Custodian of the Trophy Room, Mr.Hutchinson, '98, after conference with a

committee of undergraduates, has requestedpermission from the officers of the Technol-ogy Club to display the trophies under hischarge in either the card room or the libraryof the Clubhouse. The banners, pictures,cups, etc., are at present distributed aim-lessly in various parts of the house, or storedaway in closets, -and their collection andarrangement would be highly desirable.Nevertheless, while we shall be very gratefulto the Club if the use of its room is granted,we must remember that such an arrangementis only temporary. The trophy room be-longs to the whole college, and should beaccessible to the whole college; and the onlyideal place for it is in one of the buildings ofthe Institute. We still hope, therefore, thatat some time, perhaps on the erection of theChemical Building, a room may be grantedfor this especial purpose by the Faculty.

OLLOWING up our remarks on athleticsin Western colleges of two weeks ago,

we feel that editorial comment should bemade as to the outcome of the season's foot-ball as played in the West. The greatThanksgiving Day game between the Uni-versities of Michigan and Chicago wasplayed in the Coliseum, and a memorableevent it was. Realizing that his team wasfar inferior in strength to that of Michigan'sdoughty veterans, A. A. Stagg, the direc-tor of athletics at the University of Chi-

II

8THE TEOCH

cago, decided to develop their one strongpoint, namely, that of kicking. All the train-ing and drill was- to the end that if Chicagowon, it was to be by a continual exchange ofpunts. This proved to be a most wise de6ision,and as a consequence of putting into effect thisidea, the University of Chicago won by ascore 7-6. As it is now, the victors standwith an undisputed right to be called thechampions of the West, and in having at-tained the title, deserve great praise, for thediscouragements of the early part of the yearat the University of Chicago were many andserious. Since the game the Universitygrounds in Chicago have been the scene ofmany public demonstrations unheard ofbefore in the history of this Institution.

('HE action of some of the Western insti-tutions in regard to professionalism in

athletics is well worthy of attention. Realizingthat there are three main evils menacing the in-tegrity of athletic achievement in their respec-tive schools, the students and graduates ofthese colleges have been discussing the ques-tion, and have appointed committees to for-mulate some line of action by which the dis-honor resulting from professionalism can beaverted. The three evils are thus to be met,and Easterners will see that the ideas are notunique: -

Rules shall be enforced requiring studentsfrom other colleges to have six months' or ayear's residence in the University, before be-coming eligible to its athletic teams.

A rule shall be adopted prohibiting any stu-dent from playing in athletic teams for morethan the length of an academic course.

Measures shall be adopted whereby thecontrol of athletic affairs shall be largelytaken out of the hands of student managers.

The absolute necessity of such action hasbeen apparent for some time, but the dissatis-faction of the student bodies in the variouscolleges had not reached the point at whichthey declared decisively against securing out-

side material to strengthen their teams. Theopen-handed deals at the beginning of thisseason could not fail to apprise all of the truestate of affairs, and the result is to be feltin a concerted stand which will be made bythe students, faculty, and graduates of eachinstitution in which the evil has taken root, inorder to straighten matters out.

HE importance of training cannot be toostrongly urged upon our athletes who

wish to see Technology well represented atWorcester next spring.

Although the Athletic Association cannot,in all probability, afford the expense of atraining table next year, yet the value of con-scientious work through the winter will surelybring favorable results, even without this ad-junct. It is none too early to consider thismatter now, and the men who commence lighttraining early in the winter will be far aheadof their fellows who wait until a few weeksbefore the Intercollegiate meeting.

WO thefts of overcoats have recently oc-curred from the lunch room, and it seems

time to sound a note of warning. It is veryunsafe to leave articles of clothing, or, indeed,any belongings in places where they cannotbe watched. Where there are so many mencontinually moving about as there are inRogers at certain times in the day, it is theeasiest thing in the world for a sneak-thief toenlarge his wardrobe. A word to the wise issufficient.

5HE condition of the apparatus at the Gym-nasium is deplorable. The jumping

standards are broken, the large mat cannot beused, the leather shots are in need of repair,in short, nearly everything is out of order. Itis true that there is difficulty in keeping theapparatus in repair, but it seems as though alittle exertion on the part of those in chargeof the Gymnasium might go a long way towardremedying the evil.

THEJ TECH

JE are very glad to see that L'Avenir ismaking another attempt to pay off its

indebtedness, incurred by the play of twoyears ago. By the lectures given last springa small sum was netted, and if this enterpriseis well supported the entire debt may well bewiped out. With the reputation which thesociety enjoys for spirited entertainments, itought not to be necessary to urge the purchaseof its very cheap tickets.

The Summer School of Mining.

IN accordance with the custom of the Min-ing department of holding summer schools ofMining and of Metallurgy in alternate years,the school, which was held last year atvariousmetallurgical works of New Jersey and Penn-sylvania, was held this year in three of theprincipal iron-mining districts of Michiganand Minnesota. The members left Boston,June 6th and 7th, in three separate parties,which, traveling by different routes, united atIronwood, Mich., two of them on June I2th,and the third, under Professor Richards, afew days later. The united party consisted ofProfessor Richards and Hofman, and Messrs.W. P. Anderson, '96; E. P. Brown, A. L.Davis, O. B. Smith, T. Washburn, E. S.Wiard, '97; F. F. Colcord, G. McM. Godley,C. S. Hurter and W. McKell, '98. At Iron-wood, visits were made to the Norrie mine, ofthe Gogebic range, and also to the Auroramine, where the hoisting and hauling ma-chinery, drainage and ventilation, werethoroughly investigated and notes taken. Atrip was also made to Bessemer, where theTilden and the celebrated Colby mine werevisited. The latter is a surface deposit, whichis a rare occurrence in this range.

Leaving Ironwood, June 20th, the partystarted for the Mesabi range in Minnesota.At Duluth one of the great docks for loadingfreight vessels was visited. This dock was,with its shore approach, a mile long. Herethe methods of sampling the ore before it isloaded into the vessels, and analyzing thesamples in the dock laboratory, were seen.

From Duluth to Virginia, Minn., the partywere the guests of the Duluth, Mesabi &Northern R.R., through the courtesy of itsVice President, Mr. McBride. Around Vir-ginia there are a number of iron mines, themost prominent of which were visited andstudied. Returning to Ironwood, a study wasmade of the well known Chapin mine, whichis of interest from the fact that all the ma-chinery used in it is operated by compressedair, generated by water power three milesaway, and brought to the mine through apipe line.

On the evening of July 4 th the party leftIronwood for Norway, Mich., where thenext three days were spent. On the night ofJuly 7th, notes, geological specimens, survey-ing instruments, etc., were packed for thelast time, and on the following day the schooldisbanded, some going to Chicago, some tothe copper mines of Lake Superior, and a fewreturning to Boston by way of the lakes.

Each summer school of mining must ofnecessity be a greater success than the last,but all who attended this one are of the opinionthat it exceeded the ordinary advancement.The thanks of the entire party are due toProfessor Richards and Hofman for their un-tiring efforts in their behalf, as well as to thenumerous mine officials, whose patience andcourtesy contributed materially to the successof the Summer School of '96.

NOT WHAT SHE IS PAID FOR.

Architectural Society Smoke Talk.AT the Technology Club, November 2d, the

Architectural Society gave the most success-ful Smoke Talk of its history. The speakerwas Mr. Geo. Peabody, of the well-known firmof Peabody & Stearns, Architects, of this city.The large reception room was filled withCourse IV. men, and Mr. Peabody illustratedhis remarks to them with a powerful stereop-ticon and many beautiful views. The subjectof the speaker was " An Architect's Library,"and in consequence his remarks were largelyconcerned with the masters of architecturaldrawing and illustrating and the many beau-tiful books filled with their work. Mr. Pea-body made also a gallant defense of the lith-ograph, which is fast dying out in favor. Afterthe lecture the society adjourned downstairs,where a light supper was served. The SmokeTalk proved such a success that a number ofthem will probably be given, taking up in orderkindred subjects pertaining to the architectand his work.

Electrical Engineering Society.THE December meeting of the Electrical

Engineering Society was held last Fridayevening, in room 22, Walker. Mr. CliftonA. Howes, '94, who is with the AmericanElectric Heating Corporation, addressed the'society on Electrical Heating Apparatus, giv-ing an interesting account of the constructionof various heating appliances and methods ofwiring, and furnishing some figures in regardto cost of operation and efficiency. Mr.Howes had on exhibition several electric flat-irons, a soldering iron, car- heater, small stove,and various other pieces of apparatus, as wellas several drawings showing their construc-tion. It is probable that arrangements will bemade for a visit by the members of the societyto a central lighting station, to take place inabout two weeks. Messrs. Hubbard andEwing, '97, and Crowell, '98, were appointeda committee to arrange the programme for thenext meeting.

The Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin Clubs gavea concert in Fall River on Friday evening,December 4 th. The clubs left Boston at 4.45P. m., and returned in scattered detachments,commencing to arrive at half past eight Satur-day morning. The attendance at the concertwas small, and the affair proved a losing ven-ture, but all so enjoyed themselves in the

dance that followed the programme that theyfeel amply repaid. The work of the Clubswas good, especially that of the Banjo Club.

An unusual incident occurred in the test of a12 x 4 inch spruce beam on last Friday. Thepiece of timber twelve feet long was placed onthe ioo,ooo beam testing machine. In gradu-ally applying the load to obtain the ultimatebreaking strength, the beam was noticed to bedeflecting laterally quite rapidly, and finallyburst firom its supports in a lateral direction.It was then brought back to place and confinedby clamps to a vertical deflection only. Thebeam broke with a maximum reading uponthe scales of I2,000 pounds.

" Technique" has led many of our CourseIV. men to go into general designing, wheretheir success has been marked. We clip thefollowing from a Boston periodical: "Thevalue of the Institute of Technology in sup-plying talented craftsmen is appreciated byTbne and the Hotty. The illustrative sketchesof Mr. Frank Bird Masters and his successor,Mr. Charles Ewing, both members thereof,have sped the arrows of its writers in thecause of good morals and good' manners, andhave given humorous and pointed effect tothem."

As suggested in an editorial in the last issueof THE TE CH, the M. I. T. Co-operative So-ciety has agreed to take charge of the supplyrooms in the Architectural and Engineeringbuildings. The Society hopes to thus add toits scholarship fund. Mr. Le Baron, '97, Mr.G. C. Winslowv, '99, and Mr. Atwood, willact as a committee to take full charge of start-ing in operation the rooms. It is hoped intime that the Society will be enabled to run aco-operative store on much the same principleas the one at Harvard, which deals in goods ofevery description. When the new building iserected President Walker has promised that aroom in it shall be reserved for the Society.

' Mr. Barry demonstratedhis wonderful power of mind concentration,and fine knowledge of the game by playingeleven members of the club simultaneously.The players sat on one side of a long tablewith their boards in front of them. Mr. Barrywalked along on the opposite side of the tablefrom one player to another making his movesafter very little hesitation. Inside of threehours he had won every game; Mr. Mathews,'98, being the last man to succumb. Mr.William T. Miller, M. I. T., '8o, a memberof the old Chess Club and first president ofthe M. I. T. A.

L'Avenir will give a play and variety per-formance in Huntington Hall on the I 9 th, forthe purpose of paying off its debt. The playis part French and part English, and waswritten by Mr. G. L. Smith, President of theSociety. It deals with a Parisian family inLondon and with a love affair conducted underdifficulties. Rehearsals are in active progressunder the direction of M. Bernard, and thecast will be definitely announced later. Amongthe " specialties," following the play, will bea French monologue by Mr. Winslow, a"tramp act" and dance by Messrs. Davisonand Rogers, a colloquy between-a Dutchmanand a Scotchman by Messrs. Smith and MTa-son, and an original feature entitled "Tech-nique Illustrated." The tickets for the per-formance will be fifty and seventy-five cents.

Freshman Themes.IT was dark, and we were all sitting around

the fireplace watching the flickering light,when my little Southern friend was called uponto tell a story. "Well," she began, "in thetown where I live, in Virginia, is an old houseinto which no one dares to go at night, for itis said to be haunted. Over the mantelpiece

in the dining room is a picture of a man, lifesize, dressed in a colonel's uniform of long ago.Every niglht when the clock strikes twelve thecolonel steps down from the picture and wan-ders over the house as in former times. Onenight when we young folks were having aparty in the neighborhood, I was dared to gointo the house and to go up to the picture justat midnight. So we decided upon a night tocarry out our plans. Now, I had never be-lieved in ghosts, so when the night arrived Iwas in for the fun, and was not a bit afi-aid.The others accompanied me as far as the frontgate, and then I was to go the rest of the wayby myself. I bravely walked up the path andentered the house. Then I went more slowlytoward the dining room and opened the door.It seemed to me as if puffs of air met my face,but I boldly stepped in, and very, very slowlybegan to walk toward the picture. Oh, itwas dark! and my heart was beating fast.More and more puffs of wind floated about myhead, but thinking that this sensation was dueto my imagination, and summoning up all mycourage, I approached the mantel. Just as Ireached the spot, behold! the colonel steppeddown from the picture and extended his armstoward me! I shrieked and fainted, andit was not the colonel who caught me in hisarms." B. L. B., 1900.

I wAS walking through the Arboretum withour Pastor one day last week, when we noticedseveral small urchins playing in the sand.While we stood watching them one little fWl-low stepped on a companion's foot. Immedi-ately we were shocked to see the five-year-oldfairly dance with anger, while oaths pouredfirom the mouth which might have belonged toa cherub. The good Doctor was dazed for amoment, but, quickly recovering himself, be-gan slowly and sternly, " I am afraid -I amafiaid _" Here the child broke in with acontemptuous shout, "Damn it! why don'tyou run, then." The Doctor ran.

Columbia University is to have a $500,000gymnasium. The building will contain thelargest swimming tank in the United States,and will have a running track one eighth of amile in circumference.

The paucity of bequests to English uni-versities is to be wondered at. An exchangemakes the statement that the largest endow-me-nt fund in England, which amounts to$450oo000o, is to be applied to the aid of theUniversity of Edinburg. In strong contrastare the magnificent endowments of our owncolleges and universities, headed by GirardCollege with $5,000,000, and amounting intotal to several billions.

The Harvard Faculty has passed the follow-ing rule: "The Administrative Board of theCollege, holding that the handing in by a stu-dent of written work not his own is dishonor-able, proposes to separate from the college astudent guilty of such conduct, and to post hisname on the College Bulletin Boards." Themode of dealing with students who are guiltyof dishonorable conduct varies greatly withdifferent colleges. Some colleges adopt themethod used here at the Institute: a studentis simply told to withdraw, and is shielded'from publicity. This seems to us better thanto stain his whole subsequent career by pub-licly dishonoring him. A momentary weak-ness under, oftentimes, extenuating circum-stances, should not be judged too harshly. Onthe other hand, of course, is to be consideredthe salutary effect of the example.

Recently High, '98, and Bodwell, '98, eachvaulted 6 feet 7 inches, in the Gymnasium.

John Graham, of the B. A. A., will hold across-country run from the M. I. T. Gymna-sium to Coolidge Corner and back, on Satur-day afternoon, December I2th. Six prizesare oflered, and as the run is handicap thereis a good chance for anyone. All Tech. run-ners are urged to enter.

There will be a handicap meeting in theB. A. A. Gymnasium Thursday evening, De-cember I7th, open to B. A. A., M. I. T., andHarvard. The events are the usual indoorones, and prizes will be given to first, second,and third men. Entries to be made to JohnGraham, B. A. A., not later than DecemberI5th, and are twenty-five cents per entry.

A new Track Team picture was taken atHearn's last Thursday, as the picture takenlast spring was unsatisfactory. The followingis the official list of the members of last year'steam : Grosvenor, '98; Stebbins, '97; Hooker,'97; Osgood, '97; Pugh, '97; Gray, '97;Jones, '98; Mayer, '98; Rumery, '98; Nolte,'98; West, '99; Ferguson, '99; Kimball, '99;Farnham, '99; Cummings, '96; Hurd, '96.

About thirty men are out daily preparingfor the indoor meeting. Hurd, '96, is train-ing for the hurdles. Burch, '99, has proveda fast man in the dash, and will give Grosve-nor a rub. W. E. Putnam is doing 5 feet 8inches. in the high jump nearly every day,and it seems as if that event would go to him.The meet this year should be more interest-ing than last, and a good attendance is hopedfor.I

96THE TE"CH

"I could a tale unfold, whose lightest wordWould harrow up thy soul."

AWE read often in ancient legend and in the stirringtales of Hope and Weyman, of instances in whichimprisoned beauty has been set free by a gallantknight. The roles were exactly reversed when thistouching episode was enacted within the walls of Tech-nology quite recently, inasmuch as it was the Knightwho suffered restraint, and the maiden who gallantlyfreed him from durance vile. The tale, for whoseveracity many will vouch, runs as follows. The cava-lier of the purse, he who lurks in the grim cavern tothe southward of the black desert yclept the Secretary'soffice; he with whom the confiding Freshman files hisbond; he who once, it is said, cashed a check the sameweek it was presented,-he sought out, quite late oneafternoon, the little telephone closet in the back ofRogers corridor. An hour later, when he had sent hismessage, for it was a short one, he turned to leave theinstrument. To his horror he found that the door ofthe closet had closed with a spring, and realized thathe had no key. In his agony of mind at the thought ofbeing immolated in this living tomb at dinner time, hehastened, yes, actually /zastenzed to beat upon the doorand to cry out loudly and to make much hubbub. Itwas late in the nachmittag, as the language of Heineso picturesquely has it. None was near to succor thehapless prisoner. But at last the denizen of the Cage,the feathered postmistress, hears the gruesome sounds,and sallies boldly forth and stands before the doorwhence this outcry proceeds. Before liberating theunknown captive, it seems expedient to point a moralof patience; therefore, she gently reproves him for hisunseemly behavior, worthy only of a Freshman fromthe far, far West; instructs him as to the propermethod of making a request, furnishing several modelsof polite formn, and expresses her hope that this mayprove a lesson in patience and courtesy for the future.The scene which ensues when the door is at last

opened, the Lounger prefers to leave for the pen ofsomeone greater than himself and more fitted to doit justice.

In a recent constitutional about the glittering hallsof Technology, the Lounger was struck by an in-junction inscribed in large characters upon a certainblackboard to " eat chocolate pie on Thursday in thebasement." The statement was plain; there could beno mistake. But why Thursday? Personally theLounger has been accustomed to consume his choc-olate pie on Tuesdays and Fridays, while regalinghimself upon mince pie on Mondays, Fridays, andSaturdays, and madly revelling in apple dumplings onSundays and Wednesdays. Truly he would be loathto alter his accustomed ways, for by so doing his proc-esses of digestion might be seriously impaired. Maywe not suspect the professor in whose room the witch-ing command appeared of misrepresentation with viewto personal indulgence ? May it not be that he foundhimself at a disadvantage with his fellow:profs. in thecommon feeding ground, and sought by subterfuge tolure his rivals to gorge on Thursday, thereby securinghimself full supply on, say the Wednesday following?Such depths of deception might be conceivable. If,on the other hand, the statement was a bona fide one,if a firman has gone forth from the Secretary's officethat chocolate pie is to be eaten on Thursday, then theLounger must bow himself to the inevitable with whatgrace he can; and pities only the unhappy Chemistwho has lab. on that day, and for whom the aromasof whipped cream and CS2 will become inextricablymingled.

A sad' appeal was that which recently graced thebulletin board of our latest unmusical organization TheQuintette. "Wanted, a humorist," it read; and as itstood under the "Technique" bulletin board it seemedto bear a doubly pathetic meaning. The Loungerthought seriously of offering himself to fill the breach.He fears, however, that his humor is not broad enoughto be suited to a musical club. Judging by the witdisplayed during the recent sojourn of the Glee andBanjo aggregation in Fall River, the first requisite fora musical joke consists in breaking various sorts ofcrockery, abstracting pillows, giving Tech. yells, anddoing other strange and unusual things at early hoursin the morning. Such achievements are no doubt cal-culated to fill the manly breast with irrepressible glee;but they are not quite in the Lounger's line.
