! . i S[ Awritten manuscriptat the expense ofboth food and rest,yet there are times

when even the editors of THETECH must jointhe family circle and attend the intrepid call-ings of the inner man.

The short vacation will, indeed, be a wel-come change to professor and student alike.

With ten weeks of solid work behind,even the most incessant grind feels that thetime of laying aside the Calculus and Applied,

the Lab. notes and the Drawing Board, is wellearned, and that the utmost pleasure must begained from the three days which a beneficentFaculty, in years gone by, saw fit to grant tothe overworked victims in their charge, andwhich each succeeding year has given frompure custom. Let us away, then, and let truehappiness in learning be found, for the timebeing, in forgetfulness of it.

Our athletes to-morrow will need a host ofsupporters, and Technology men should re-member that as much depends upon them asupon the eleven. The team and the c6achershave done their best; it now remains forTechnology to evince an interest which shalldo its share toward bringing success inthe game so much- looked forward to.

Trusting that the needed rest will haveexerted its usual influence in producing evenmore enthusiasm in all Technology under-takings, THE TECH extends to all its hearti-est wishes for a jovial Thanksgiving.

jE regret to hear that Mr. C. H. L. N.Bernard feels himself unable to assume

the direction of the French plays this year. Itwas largely due to his untiring efforts andcareful supervision that the plays were so suc-cessful, both from a financial and an artisticstandpoint. Unfortunately there is no oneavailable who is competent to take Mr. Ber-nard's place in the preparation of the plays,and it would, therefore, be very difficult, if notimpossible, to repeat the success of last year.The executive committee of L'Avenir are mak-ing every endeavor to procure a reconsidera-tion of his decision, and it is to be hoped, bothfor the good of the society and of Technology atlarge, that he will be prevailed upon to do so.

O-MORROW themost important foot-ball game of theyear will be playedagainst Brown atProvidence. Withone victory early in

the season, and with the very marked progressin training since that time, the prospect iscertainly encouraging in many ways. SinceMr. Wilson and Mr. Waters have taken themen in charge a rapid advance has been madein interference, and several new plays of veryconsiderable importance have been developed.Moreover, a slight change in the make-up ofthe eleven and the transfer of one or twomen to positions which they can better fill,will, without doubt, prove beneficial.

Brown's work since October 2 4 th has beenimproved very greatly, and it is necessary thatevery man be at his best, and play with theutmost determination in order to win. If thegame is characterized by the snap whichTechnology has displayed in several of thehome games, an important feature of successwill be introduced. Technology, as a whole,is awaiting the game with intense interest, anda large delegation of men will be present tocheer our eleven on to victory.

HE amount of class spirit and enthusiasmshown by the Sophomores during the past

two weeks, and more especially on the nightbefore the rush, when over one hundred menwere assembled at the South End Grounds inless than an hour, is certainly praiseworthy.As a dormant class Ninety-seven was perfec-tion until awakened either by the editorials inTHE TECH or by the fear that it would nevercarry canes or win a football game. But it isa fact that not in the memory of the presentupper classmen has any other class suddenlymanifested such a great degree of enthusiasm.

HROUGH the kindness of ProfessorAllen, we are enabled in this issue to

present to Technology men, and especially tothe students of Course I., a list of prominentpositions in Civil Engineering in the City ofBoston held by men who, if not graduates,have all taken more or less extended coursesat the Institute. It is interesting to note thatthese appointments cover almost entirely theimportant engineering operations now beingundertaken in the city. This fact demon-strates very thoroughly the value of the train-ing at Technology, and must indeed beencouraging to men looking forward tosimilar professions. At a later date THETECH will publish the names of alumni whohave become well-known railroad engineers.Few students in Course I. have understoodhow large a number of graduates have be-come famous in this branch of work. Thelist will allow them to realize more completelythe possibilities of the course.

HILE it is too late topresent plays of suit-able proportions be-fore the Semi-annual

.,lli[} Recess, the Deuts-cher V e r e i n shouldnot lapse into thisstate of apparent leth-argy which is truly

'~-----~~-surprising in view ofthe interest manifested by its members but afew weeks ago; yet a sufficient amount ofenthusiasm should be shown to insure theirproduction early in February. The two plays,which it was proposed to present during thepresent term, are no longer heard of; and ifthe present state of affairs continues, the yearwill pass before the club has awakened to arealization of its responsibility. Since L'Ave-nir has demonstrated so well the feasibility ofgiving these social events, there seems to beno excuse for the inactivity which the Germanclub has displayed.

THEI TECH9

LARGE Committee of students from allsections of the Institute is now being

formed for a purpose which is certainly uniquein Technology history. These men proposeto receive the names and addresses of alltheir fellow-students who have old clothesof which they wish to dispose. Theseaddresses will be reported to a largecharitable organization in town, which willsend a messenger to collect the donationsof clothing for systematic distribution. Thesole object is to insure that cast-off clothing isdevoted to some really worthy cause, and notthrown into the ash heap or handed to the firstidler who begs for it.

The complete scheme and the preliminarylist of the committee will appear in a week orso.

HE Gymnasium is still without seats orbenches of any description ,s-a state of

affairs which has been tolerated long enough.The old benches should be returned, and ifnecessary distributed equally about the rooms.At present there is scarcely a place in thewhole Department where either worker orvisitor may sit down to watch the classes, andmen in dressing are put to extreme inconven-ience. Added to this, many hooks, formerlyin place, have been removed, and the generaldiscomfiture increased in large measure. OurGymnasium, without dressing rooms, is vastlydifferent from those of other colleges. Forthis reason more attention should be paid tothe smaller comforts, which are readily ob-tained if only the matter be considered.

jHROUGH the kindness of Mr. Haydenwe print in another column the answer to

the Institute Committee's petition for a moreextended recess at Christmas. We arepleased to note that the Faculty have length-ened the usual short vacation, and are able tostate that the majority of students welcome thechange.

Am I not to be envied as you, pretty lassSalute me and beckon to me as I pass?Should I not feel flattered that you my face scan ?Alas, I am only a poor motor-man!

All out for the Technology-Brown game!

The first of the Course football games wasplayed on Clover Field last Tuesday after-noon with Course I., '96, lined up against theJuniors of Course II. Delegations of Civil andMechanical enthusiasts were on hand towatch the spectacle, and numerous small boyspresented themselves to swell the number.In view of the impromptu formation of theelevens, and the fact that with many it was a" first attempt," the work was creditable.Until within the last few minutes of play,the Civils maintained a decided advantage,and one touchdown was secured in each half,making a score of Io to o in favor ofCourse I.

We print below a letter in regard to the Christmasvacation:-

BOSTON, Nov. 22, I894.MR. G. W. HAYDEN,

Secretary of the Institulte Commilttee:-

My dear Mr. Hayden, The Faculty havegiven careful consideration to the questionraised in your note of November i 9 th, and inMr. Sheppard's letter of last year. Whilerecognizing the universal interest in the Christ-mas holidays, and the eminent propriety ofthe students spending the time at their homes,the Faculty feel unable the present year togrant the entire week requested. Exerciseswill, however, be suspended from Saturdaynoon to Thursday morning, a period whichwill, I hope, be approximately satisfactory tomost of the students. As to the future, I mayadd that, so far as I can personally judge, theFaculty would be glad to consider the expe-diency of transferring the two days now givenat Thanksgiving to Christmas, making theintermission four days at the latter time, es-pecially if such a change were clearly shownto meet the wishes of the great bulk of thestudents. Any further extension would prob-ably, however, involve a corresponding dimi-nution of the summer vacation, for it must beremembered that the Institute is already sub-ject to more or less criticism on account of theexceptional shortness of its school year; andthat, in the second place, a considerable num-ber of students living outside of New Eng-land undoubtedly prefer a longer summervacation to intermissions during the year tooshort for the home journey.

Very truly yours,H. W. TYLER.

Professor Richards' Reception to the '97Miners.

ON Thursday evening, November I5th,Professor and Mrs. Richards entertained attheir home in Jamaica Plain the Second-yearMiners, and about twenty-five members ofthe Faculty and corps of instructors. Thiswas the first one of a series of three whichProfessor and Mrs. Richards are accustomedto give during each year to the students inMining and in Chemistry. About one thirdof the Faculty and corps of instructors,together with their wives, are invited to eachreception. In this way the students are en-abled to meet one another and their instructorsunder the pleasantest circumstances.

On these evenings Professor Richardsthrows open his library and his cabinets ofminerals, gems, and curios, showing to boththe students and the professors many novelsights, which are long remembered.

Professor Richards is an expert glassblower,and as usual he delighted his guests by anexhibition of the art. Formerly he has pre-sented a water hammer to one of the ladies,but last Thursday the Miners drew lots for it,and Mr. Washburn, though absent on thatevening, is now the fortunate possessor of thewater hammer.

The hospitality of Professor and Mrs. Rich-ards has made these occasions become aprominent feature in the social life at Tech-nology. These tete-a-tftes between professorand student, over a tray of gems or a collec-tion of photographs, are great factors towardstrengthening the bond between students andtheir instructors.

Reunion Dinner of the Summer School ofMining.

A REUNION dinner was given by ProfessorRichards at his home last Thursday night tothe men who attended the Summer School ofMining at Nova Scotia and Cape Breton last

June. All members of the party were presentexcepting A. S. Coburn, '95; his place at thetable was taken by a substitute.

Beside each plate was a gilded schleg'el undeisen tied with the M. I. T. colors. Thecenter piece was a representation of a smug-gler's cave (considerable smuggling is carriedon along the part of the coast surveyed by theminers, and on one dark night a whole cargoof smuggled goods was landed close by thecamp). Between the courses were brought inthings suggestive of the various incidents andaccidents of the five-weeks' stay in the Prov-inces. A minature camp, with its tents and"Aleck," the cook, and his eleven-poundsalmon, was at one end of the table; at theother end was a "Brownie" with a kodakunder his arm.

Triangulations, contours, and coal seamswere represented in various ways in the pies,cakes, and candies. Professor Richards' sta-dia prism was reproduced in ice cream. Asthe Fourth of July was duly celebrated by theMiners while at Sidney, this event was recalledby the introduction of the "Uncle Sam"brownie on a box covered with the stars andstripes. Sears, '95, read an extract from anoration delivered to them that day.

B. Hodge, '95, was unanimously elected asscribe to write an account of the SummerSchool for THE TECH.

The Cane Rush.

ALl, day long, in a drizzling rain, the Sopho-mores and Freshmen had a battle royal at theSouth End grounds on Wednesday last. Itwas their annual football game and cane rush,and the Sophs. won the day. Their deter-mrination to redeem themselves this year, com-bined with the experience of a year ago,proved too much for the Freshmen, who, itmust be said, were awake to all opportunitiesbut were attended by misfortune. Tuesdaynight one hundred Sophomores hoisted theirclass flag and guarded it through the dreary

hours of morning till ten o'clock, when a largebody of Freshmen appeared, outnumberingthe thirty Sophomores five to one; and soonthe Ninety-eight colors displaced the Yellowand Black bunting of Ninety-seven. In theafternoon the two classes met at the Gym,formed in line, and each, headed by a brassband, marched independently to the grounds,the Sophomores carrying transparencies andeffigies of the baby Freshmen. Numeroussmall rushes served to enliven the intervals inthe football game, but not till 4. I5 did theclasses form for the big rush. This latterproved spirited enough, and one of the mosthotly contested of recent years. After twentyminutes of hard rushing, the judges edgedtheir way to the center, counted hands, anddeclared '97 to be the winner by a score of22 to 9 .

Sophomores, Io; Freshmen, o.

SHORTLY after the arrival of the classes atthe grounds, the Ninety-seven and Ninety-eight elevens lined up for the final test of teamwork. The sophomore team consisted ofeight 'Varsity players and substitutes, whichmaterially assisted in their victory. McCor-mick and Worcester were especially strong atcentre, while Underwood put up the bestgame back of the line. His "bucking" theline, and fine interference aided greatly illmaking the touchdowns. Hayden tackledwell for the " Sophs," but did not work hardon account of his lame ankle. Whitneybucked the centre for good gains, and Mans-field played a star game at quarter. TheFreshmen ends and backs were decidedlyweaker than Ninety-seven's, and on thisaccount were unable to withstand the fre-quent rushes. Van Horn and Sargentplayed the best game for Ninety-eight.Both tackled and followed the ball well.

Le Moyne kicked off for Ninety-eight,after which the ball was punted back andforth from one side to the other, until Mans-

field broke through and stopped Emery's punt.Smith dropped on the ball, Emery punted tothe centre of the field, and the Sophomoresrushed it back to the Io-yard line, but wereunable to score. They lost it on four downs.The Freshmen kicked again to the 40-yardline. Here Hayden made ten yards throughright tackle, Beers went round left end fortwenty-eight yards and time was called withthe ball on the 2-yard line. Score, o-o.

In the second half, after four minutes play,the Sophomores easily scored a touchdownby good team work. Underwood caught theball, after a twenty-yard kick-off by LeMoyne,but was downed by Watrous. By severalgood rushes Hayden and Underwood ad-vanced the ball thirty yards, then Haydenwas downed on the one-yard line. The ballwas forced over by a mass play for the firstscore. Underwood failed at a goal, and thescore was 4-0 in favor of '97.

Ninety-eight again kicked off, and Hayden,Beers, and Underwood brought the ball tothe five-yard line. Whiting bucked the linethrough Sargent for two yards and Under-wood went through left tackle for a touch-down and kicked a goal. During the rest ofthe game, the ball changed hands in the cen-ter of the field, and time was called on theSophomore, 40-yard line. The final scorestood io-o in favor of the Ninety-seven.

A. H. Green is playing full back on theJunior Civil eleven.

Mr. H. W. Allen, '97, E. A. Sumner, '97,and A. Sargent, '98,-will act as games com-mittee for the December eighth meeting.

The Executive Committee of the AthleticClub met last Saturday noon, and com-pleted arrangements for the indoor classchampionships.

The Athletic Club has just purchased aboutthree hundred chairs, which were obtained ata bargain, and which will be used in thegymnasium at all entertainments.

The 'Varsity foot-ball association was wellrepaid for their management of the cane rush.The good custom of making this entertainmenta benefit for the association, was well appre-ciated, considering the bad weather.

The Lower Mills Athletic Club of Dorchesterwill hold an open cross-country run Thanks-giving day morning at 9 o'clock. The entries,twenty-five cents per man, close with J. F.Lawler, Box I894, Boston. There will besix prizes offered.

The indoor class championship games willbe held a week from next Saturday in thegymnasium. Men have been in training forseveral weeks, and all the classes will be wellrepresented. At present the Juniors are pickedas the winners, with the Freshmen a goodsecond. Ninety-five, however, will turn out astrong delegation, and the Sophomores willscore some points.

The B. A. A. has surprised the athleticworld, by proposing to reorganize the NewEngland division of the A. A. U., thus exclud-ing the athletic clubs which exist on paper,and which now have a voice in the manage-ment of the association. It will be rememberedthat Technology withdrew from the organiza-tion on account of the degraded character of amajority of the members. Last year reputa-ble college men refused to compete with suchmen as appeared in games held by clubs inthis organization, but according to the newplan these undesirable individuals will beruled out and college athletes will again beseen.

A Puff.Puff! puff! puff! on thy sweet old pipe, old boy!

And live the life of a College Man,For College Days are joy.

Puff! puff puff! The smoke goes circling round!For sweet is thy pipe, and sweet are the days

That are spent in Boston town.

Puff! puff! puff! Thy notebook's in thy hand,But thy thoughts are away, far, far away,

Out in some summer land.Plug! plug! plug! A thing you can never do!

And you think of the days, those summer days,-Days that you'll never rue.

Puff! puff! puff! The light in thy pipe is banished!Yet the love for her, that Summer Her,

Is a thing that ne'er will vanish.But oh! to think of the summer night,

The moon, so pale and yellow,-You were in it then, you know you were,

You careless, lucky fellow!

A Reason."That football hair is a disgrace,"

The pretty maiden said;"What is its use, I'd like to know,

Upon each football head?"

"Why, don't you see?" her escort cried,With tone of great disdain,

" That when they play with all their mightThey play with all their ma,,e "'

Over eighty candidates are now trying forthe Harvard crew.

There are three hundred and forty men inthe physical development class at Harvard.

The Civil Service Reform Club of Harvardwas recently addressed by Theodore Roose-velt.

Johns Hopkins University has 515 studentsenrolled this year, the largest number in itshistory.

The students of Lehigh have adopted thehonor system in examinations by a large votein its favor.

The new building of the University of theCity of New York will be ten stories highand will cost $700,000.

At Princeton two men from each class arestationed daily at the gate of the field to iden-tify all spectators of the practice.

Football has made its way so far in Ger-many that a Frankfort team has just visitedEngland. It plays the Rugby game.

The University of North Carolina will playthe University of Virginia for the footbalchampionship of the South on ThanksgivingDay.

Andover has decided that all its annualathletic contests shall take place against Law-renceville instead of against Exeter, as here-tofore.

Emperor William, of Germany, has pre-sented a trophy, valued at $I,200, to beannually competed for by the crews of theGerman universities.

One hundred and twenty-five preparatoryschools are represented in the academicFreshman class at Yale. Of these schools,Andover sends fifty-one.

The following named universities publishdaily papers: Cornell, Brown, Harvard, Le-land Stanford, Princeton, and the Universitiesof Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Treasury Department has decided thatfootball is labor. A contemplated importationof a professional eleven from England wasprevented therefore by the contract labor law.

Cornell is to send a crew to England nextyear to meet the best oarsmen of EnglishUniversities. The matter is practically settledand only awaits the sanction of the CornellAthletic Council.

Yale graduating classes publish a class bookcontaining half-tone photographs of the mem-bers, brief reviews of the men during theircourse, a history of the four years in college,and other valuable statistics.

There are many college men who believethat a league should be organized to consistof Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania,Cornell, and either Dartmouth or Brown.By this arrangement the college footballchampionship would be settled beyond adoubt.

Very radical changes have just been madein Yale's commencement programme. Here-after, the only speaking at commencementwill be an address by the president on thecondition and progress of the university. Thevaledictory and salutatory, together with allother speaking, have been done away with.

Although there is an unusually large amountof literary and journalistic work done at Harvard, it does not receive as much recognitionas in some other colleges. To remedy this itis proposed to form a press club. As thereare at least sixty men who are editors of thevarious periodicals and dailies, a very com-fortable club house could be maintained.

THE TEC 10

THE presence of the truly New England festivaland the prospect of the many joys associated with itare indeed welcome. It is with no end of gratifica-tion that the Lounger views the possibilities of thefew brief days of relaxation which a kind destiny anda far-seeing Faculty have granted to Technology, andhe trusts that every one, from sallow grind to recklesssport, from janitor down to President, will make due useof his opportunities. So overshadowed are the dreadsemies by the presence of this genial season that theyseem mere episodes. All the better, saith theLounger. Let every man make the best of his fleet-ing pleasures and speedily banish all disagreeablethoughts. Good authorities have ably expatiated onthe sufficiency of the evil to the day, and to this senti-ment the Lounger heartily subscribes. A short vaca-tion but a merry one seems an appropriate paraphrase,and with this sentiment the Lounger views theapproaching days of respite with satisfaction andequanimity.

An invitation to a kingly Thanksgiving-Day danceis but a hint of the many dissipations in which theLounger purposes to indulge; and though the ensu-ing week, when all return with repleted stomach andempty brain, holds out its dispiriting promise ofcompensating toil, the Lounger sees much to bethankful for, and rejoices accordingly. He is thank-ful that the Faculty grant him two days instead ofonly one in which to recover, from all ills attendantupon a proper observance of the great event of theday. He is also, for private reasons, duly thankfulthat Yale won, and that our own football aggregationsees itself once more financially firm, thanks to thepatriotic demonstrations of last Wednesday. Hebows his grateful acknowledgments to several consid-erate and amiable instructors who denied themselvesthe pleasure of holding recitations last Saturday, andhied them nobly to the game. The Lounger also is

thankful that the somnolent Bursar has enjoyed histwo weeks of innocuous desuetude, and trusts thatnothing will occur to mar that worthy functionary'srepose till the end of term time. He rejoices, too,that the popular inmate of the Cage has not felt itnecessary to instruct in etiquette more than the usualquota, and he only regrets that the result of certainimportant elections did not meet with the approval ofthis all-wise prophet. Whether the Lounger lias

I cause for Thanksgiving in other directions he cannotnow call to mind, but not wishing to make himself amark for godly wrath through a surfeit of blessings, heis willing to cease the enumeration and retire to theenjoyment of a well-earned repose.

Our erstwhile comatose Sophomores appear to haveawakened to a sense of their responsibilities. Theydid themselves credit in the rush, and may now twirltheir canes with all possible flourish. Nobly did theyguard the solitary flag pole through cold, moistwatches of the night; eagerly did the keen-eyedArguses devour the succulent Frankfurter, and bravelyquaff Dutch courage. The .long vigil over, they hadthe satisfaction of beholding their gaudy flag stillflying. But all joy is fleeting, and soon the bravesons of Ninety-seven saw themselves overpowered,and Ninety-eight's flag displayed triumphant. Whatwith the usual vicissitudes to stave off ennui, the daywas exciting enough, and the Lounger is glad thathis uncomfortable anticipations proved groundless.Seldom has he witnessed a more spirited rush, andhe rejoices to see in this emphatic renaissance ofclass feeling substantial evidences of re-enlightenmentamong the Sophomores.

It was indeed a delicate piece of genre that gracedone of the Herald's pages last week. The scene,grouping, treatment, all were beyond cavil, the layfigures being especially fine. The Herald was merelyportraying the story of three of our Seniors who hadrecently been conducting a locomotive test, and,though the accompanying article was of absorbinginterest, it was perhaps a trifle too theatrical for thesubject. Aside from other considerations, it must behighly gratifying to be photographed in greasy over-alls, and this heroic trio must have had feelings ofhaving waked up famous. However, the Lounger isnot envious, and he desires to leave them all the glory.He forbears relating how one of these worthies wasgravely informed that the three were taking a set ofweather observations in preparation for a new alma-nac, but leaves this interesting subject here, trustingthat the quieter joys of civil pursuits may compensatefor the charms of life on a cowcatcher.

THE POET'S SONG.

Many a song wrote the poet;Over the earth they went.

Toiled he early and toiled he lateTill life was spent.

Dying, he lay at sunsetUnder the glorious light,

And a gleam from the inmost heavenShone on him bright.

Ended for him the earth-songs,The last one incomplete;

Death stopped the singer, and straightway LifeLay at his feet.

Out through the sunset portal,Into the deathless day,

The soul of the poet passed that nightSwift on its way.

And the song he left unfinished?He learned in another sphere

The grander chords of the larger lifeHe knew not here.

He finished the song in heaven;Its echoes fell to earth.

In the soul of a poet he could not knowNew songs had birth.
