OME two years since,during the immediate

S-f-f-f_ ~period following the-~, ~,'~ "'""'-~-~establishment of the

l, Institute Committee,"~~xw-r~ / l a proposition was ad-

-~: i' :,//^ ! A; vanced to appoint reg-.4& '\ ~/*f/' -" ular correspondents to

the larger papers ofour country, published in cities remote fromBoston. Thle plan was deemed entirely feasi-ble, and measures were taken to insure its con-summation. Several upper classmen who wereinvited to act as authorized representatives,were assigned to leading papers in Chicago,Cincinnati, Denver, and other places of impor-tance. As a result, Technology news beganto appear with that firom other colleges,which, with far less prestige, had beengranted a uniform space as the direct out-come of the interest which had been evincedby members of these institutions in submittingnews items. With the Ninety-four Com-mencement and the consequent withdrawal

of those who had been most active in thesubject, the movement was allowed to relapseinto its former state of desuetude and ofoblivion; nor did the succeeding Committeeundertake to carry on the work so welldeveloped during the previous year.

The present Committee, however, hasagain broached the question of representation,and once more steps have been taken to pro-cure a rightful acknowledgement of thework of Technology. A list of prominentjournals has been obtained, from which themore desirable publications, and those indirect contact with localities interested intechnological education, and especially in thetraining at Technology, will be selected. Itwill be necessary to assign the duties of cor-respondence to men who have the welfare ofour college at heart, who desire to obtain, inaddition to an incidental remuneration, whichin but few cases is considerable, that facilityin writing which is so important in profes-sional life.

The scheme which has so well proved itsapplication to other colleges, should scarcelybe allowed to fail in absorbing the requisiteattention at Technology; if well carried out,it will produce an effect in broadening the gen-eral conception of the work and character ofour college, it will certainly appeal to anincreased number of men who are contemplat-ing scientific college work.

HE Harvard Faculty has certainly accom-plished its purpose in checking the

growth of the ever-popular game of foot-ball. For such action, it is being severelycriticised on all sides. There is, however,another view of the situation, yet unperceived,and the Harvard Faculty is accomplishing

V

what it anticipated last year, a reform. Itdoes not believe, apparently, that Intercol-legiate Football should be abandoned, but isobliged to take this means to secure an end.It seems, moreover, that the game would havepassed unnoticed, had the rules been appreci-ably modified and enforced last year, butowing to the failure to avoid such serious in-juries, the deathblow has been dealt. Nowthat the coachers and leaders have an oppor-tunity to realize what should be done, wemay hope next year to see a modification andimprovement of the present game, and trustthat Harvard will be again represented onthe football field at Springfield.

E note with gratification the large numberof very favorable comments in the

several daily papers of Boston apropos of thework of our Mining Department, and of thepresentation of the Bessemer Medal for thecurrent year to Mr. Howe, of the Class of '9 I .

The Transcri}pt of March twenty-first says,6" The conferring of the Bessemer Medal, thehighest honor known to metallurgists, upon ourfellow-citizen, Mr. Henry M. Howe, is per-haps the first incident which has called theattention of the citizens of Boston and of Mass-achusetts to the metallurgical work of the In-stitute of Technology." The article also de-scribes in detail the growth of Mining Engin-eering work under Professor Richards, andpraises in highest terms his devotion to thetraining of the course and his intent supervisionof the entire department. The Transcrij5tfurther states, in much the same words whichMr. Lunge, the noted Swiss chemist, has used,that the equipment and laboratories of Tech-nology in this branch of her work are farsuperior to all others both at home and abroad;that its graduates, moreover, are prepared intheoretical and practical knowledge more thor-oughly than are those of any other institution.

While Mr. Howe's work has been especiallybrilliant, and has remarked general attention

-not merely by the people of Boston, butthroughout our country, Technology mernshould scarcely forget that the training ofCourse III. has developed a -number of menwhose reputation as metallurgists has beenmost satisfactory in its reflection upon ourcollege. The late Mr. Charles 0. Parsons,whose life work was commented upon at somelength in our issue of Nov. I, I894, Mr. AlfredE. Hunt, Mr. Takuma Dan, Mr. John E.Hardman, well known among the miningcircles of Nova Scotia, Mr. Frederick W.Wood, President of the Maryland Steel Com-pany, Messrs. J. W. Cabot, H. H. Campbell,Captain Lyall, U. S. A., and others still, whomight well be mentioned, have all accom-plished a work which can be only lookedupon with pride.

ITH scarcely a fortnight remaining beforethe advent of Junior Week and its

unusual number of attractive undertakings,the Board of Editors has been led to considerthe advisability of publishing a special issue ofTHE TECH in recognition of the gala event.The number will appear during the weeksucceeding the festivities, on Thursday, Apriltwenty-fifth, and will present itself to the Tech-nology world in a new dress suited to the oc-occasion. It will contain, as inserts, half-tonereproductions of the French and German play-ers if the management is enabled to obtaingroup photographs in costume at a reasonableperiod in advance. The number will furthercomprise full-page accounts of the French andGerman productions, the Junior Prom., andthe Annual Spring Concert, together withextended sketches of the Architectual andPhotographic Society exhibits and their re-spective lists of prize winners. In addition,other interesting features will be introduced,and no pains will be spared to make the issuea record entirely worthy of the week and ofits foster class.

THE TECH 239

T is truly unfortunate that so little regardhas been shown by certain Architectural

students to the ordinary rules of the drawingroom, and so little respect has been exhibitedtoward those instructors having the rooms incharge, that official reprimand became neces-sary. Not long since it was customary, whenproblems were delayed beyond the prescribedlimit, to force admittance into the office and tocommit other acts equally outrageous. Weare informed, upon the best authority, that thepractice of thus submitting overdue problemswas continued for a considerable period beforea discovery was made. The disclosure of theplan, however, failed to reveal, and to bringsuitable punishment upon, those individualsdirectly concerned. If the thing continues,one of two alternatives will, of necessity, beenforced: either the offender will be suspendedfrom the subject altogether, or such stringentrules will be adopted that the entire departmentwill be inconvenienced. If the rightful spiritis existent within that portion of the studentbody connected with Course IV., it has beenonly necessary in order to insure a completeamendment, to advert to the ridiculous positionin which the men at fault have placed them-selves

Mr. Roberts appears to possess thoseinherent magnetic qualities so essential in agood lecturer, and he evinced an active per-sonal interest in the course, which placed himat once into close touch with his audience.

242THE 'rTECH

A number of Technology men, principallymembers of Course XIII., gathered at theCharlestown Navy Yard last Monday after-noon to witness the experiments on the ramKatahdin. The tests were made by the BathIron works for the purpose of demonstratingthe stability of the vessel, and of calculatingthe center of gravity. In order to carry outthe scheme, the ram was floated in the drydock and from large shears, erected forwardand aft, hawsers were led to powerfulwindlasses. The vessel was keeled over tothe proper angle when the ropes were cut,allowing it to right itself. Observations weremade of the rapidity of righting, and thedistance in degrees which she rolled.

On Wednesday, March 20oth, the Bowlingteams of '98 and '97, Course II., met on theBoylston alleys. On the first string '98 wassixteen pins ahead, but '97 soon forged ahead,and finally won by seventy-four pins Score,2,085 to 2,OII. The teams were made up asfollows :

g8. '97.Waterson, Capt. Alden.Kendall. Campbell.Nolte. Currier.Shedd. Healey.Hall. Butterworth.

The scene ofaction in " Der Trompeter von Sickingen" isthe court of the famous Heidelberg Castle, onthe Neckar, in Germany. The scenery isbeing painted to order from actual photo-graphs, thus insuring as true a rendering aspossible. The Orchestra music will be fur-nished by members of the Symphony Orches-tra, the music having proved to be too consid-erable an undertaking for the TechnologyOrchestra, considering that they are compelledto practice also for the French plays byL'Avenir.

Tickets for the performance will be soldthis week, members of the Deutscher Vereinhaving the privilege of the first choice. Theprices will be $I.50, $I.oo and 50 cents re-spectively.

Reference has already been made in THETECH of the recent trip of several members ofCourse XIII. in the fruit steamer Brooklineto Jamaica. The first day out was ratherrough, but after crossing the Gulf Stream thesea became more calm, and a test of thesteamer's machinery was carried on with butlittle difficulty. The work was divided intowatches, each man having four hours out ofsixteen on duty. After the eighty tons of coalwhich had been stored for the test had beenconsumed, the more difficult work was com-pleted, and the remainder of the voyage wasspent in pleasure and excitement. WhenJamaica was reached the men were entertainedby Captain Baker, of the S. S. Company, whogave them a carriage drive of forty milesabout the Island. Before returning theywere given a sail on the coasting steamerSpey, from Morant to Port Antonia, wherethey took the Barnstable for Boston. For thefirst three days of the return voyage theweather was all that could be desired; but onthe morning of the fourth the ship was passedby three waterspouts, which proved to be theforerunners of a tremendous gale, lasting nearlysixty hours. The steamer struggled along, attimes scarcely able to make headway againstthe heavy seas which frequently swept herdecks. When port was reached she wasscarcely recognizable, her sides being coveredwith nearly six inches of ice. The experi-ence on the home voyage was a most unusualone; such a combination of cold and storm isvery rarely encountered between Boston andJamaica.

Thirteen summer courses will be given atHarvard this year.

Boeseke won the three standing broadjumps at the Newton A. A. games on thei6th, beating Doherty, the record-holder, forthe second time.

It is understood on good authority that A.M. Lyon, who won second in the low hurdlesat Worcester, last year, and first prize theprevious year for Dartmouth, is studying atthe Boston University.

The necessity for seats of some sort in thegymnasium is made more apparent by thesemi-weekly games, and both participantsand spectators are very seriously inconven-ienced by their absence.

Mr. Harry Keys, who enters the Institutenext year, holds the championship of theDistrict of Columbia for the long distancethrow, and is considered one of the bestpitchers in Washington.

Much annoyance has been caused of late inthe gymasium to a few who have been sounfortunate as to have their names erasedfrom the posted entry lists for the handicapevents. Such an occurrence has caused theloss of a handicap by each individval, and hasentailed his removal to the position of scratch.This is the first instance in which anythingdishonorable has been noticed in athletics atTechnology, and an example should be madeof the person found erasing names from theposted list.

The Intercollegiate Championship meetingwill in all probability be held at Worcester,on May 2 9 th this year, instead of May 22d,as provided by the constitution of the N. E. I.A. A.; Williams and Wesleyan moved and

seconded, respectively, to, change the date,and were supported by Amherst, Dartmouth,and Bowdoin: while Technology and Brownopposed it. When the votes of Trinity,Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Uni-versity of Vermont are received, the officialresult will be announced. Technology hasopposed the motion because the games willtake place after the close of the college year,and evident- losses will result..

The places won in the handicap games atthe Gymnasium last week Tuesday were:35-yard dash,--Ist, F. W. Fuller, four minutesone second, with seven feet handicap; 2d, R.W. Carr; 3d, J. Nolte. Shot putting,--Ist, H.L. Bodwell, thirty-four feet five inches, withthree feet handicap; 2d, D. D. Field; 3d, E.F. Russ. Running high jump,-Ist, R. P.Farquhar, five feet six and one-half inches, withtwo inches handicap; 2d, F. C. Field; 3d, C.B. Stebbins.

The Friday games were in a measuresuccessful, although there were fewer entriesthan usual. Sumner and Coonly did verywell in the hurdles, the former winning by hishandicap. The potato race was well con-tested, and Tillinghast showed up in excellentform. Summary :-

THE 'Piill 2445

THE Lounger is not pleased at the action of theHarvard Faculty in virtually prohibiting intercollegiatefootball. He finds it difficult to characterize theiraction as hasty and ill-considered. He would, indeed,far rather withdraw quietly to the seclusion of hisbeloved chimney corner and indulge in a few well-chosen words of profanity, which might not indeedmend matters to any alarming extent, but which wouldpossibly serve to dust off his mantelpiece or stimulatethe open fire. If Harvard football must go, then itmust go; which terse and altogether inevitable con-clusion is satisfactory only for its brevity. True, theLounger's purse can suffer no more depletion from ill-advised bets on the crimson, and he likewise loses theprospect of so remunerative hazards on the blue,which roulettish expression elucidates the matter well.The Lounger doubts not that the Faculty at Cambridgehas, like every other similar body, its quota of old-notioned persons who regard innovations of all sortswith a suspicious and unfriendly eye. Such there arein our own Faculty, but, the Lounger is glad to state,under his careful tutelage, the personnel of this augustbody is rapidly improving, and if there is next fall thatinfusion of new blood which the Lounger desires tosee, a constantly broader sentiment than has alwaysbeen present will be bound to prevail. Such a changewill doubtless be experienced also in the body across theriver, and should meet with no cries of alarm fromthe Lounger's conservative friends. However this maybe, the facts still stare us in the face, and the Lounger issure that he is not the only one who sheds a private tearor cusses a public cuss that these things are thusly.

The Lounger has studied with deep interest the"Hours of Consultation," as officially posted in Rogerscorridor. A suspicious popularity seems to cling halo-like about some of our worthy preceptors, if thelengthy period in which they may be "consulted" beany token, while with others a sharp curtailment ofthis time must indicate either an extreme bashfulness

or an intention to convey the idea of extraordinarybusiness. This abbreviation of office hours may beonly to secure a fuller enjoyment of things outsideTechnology, however, which the Lounger can easilyunderstand, for tedious waitings to be consulted mustbe dispiriting. There is another side to the question,and the merry crew who masquerade as assistantsand third sub-deputy instructors doubtless derivemuch innocent joy from seeing their cognominacoupled with an imposing "9 to ii, every otherMonday,"--a misleading statement implying excessiveoccupation,-which the Lounger does not in the leastbegrudge them, and which he wishes were his to enjoy.

Enjoyment hardly expresses the state into which theLounger coaxes himself at the sight of a timelyweather map in the weather bureau bulletin. Theserare apparitions are indeed not without their excitingside, but the Lounger trusts that no undue rejoicingattends their appearance. He is glad to remark, how-ever, a diminutive improvement in this line of late, sothat now one has only to glance at the bulletin toobserve with accuracy what last week's weather wouldhave been had it not proved the opposite of the fore-cast. If only a little more enterprise could be shown,so that the Lounger might refresh himself with asample of yesterday's weather now and then, he wouldbe truly grateful to the worthy functionary who has thisimportant matter under his charge.

Still do our would-be grads find themselves con-fronted with the seductive appeal to "see the secretaryin regard to their records," before making rash betson the strength of an S. B. Graduation is a fleetingphantom,-the Lounger sheds a silent tear in memoryof his own ineffectual efforts,-and carries no guaran-tee with it, neither before nor after. Still, he hopesthat the end of May will see the proud departure ofsundry friends of his in Ninety-five, to do and dare,mostly dare, and to commit other important crimesattendant upon Class Day. The festive position witha salary of n dollars a year still dances merrily beforethe eyes of our Seniors, and the Lounger hopes theirquests will be successful. For those that are not, theLounger could doubtless use part of his influence inobtaining for them situations as polisher of the Lo-un-ger's andirons, or in securing the soon-to-be-vacantpost of office boy to THE TECH. This latter has proveda valuable man, and the Lounger proposes to get outa fitting eulogy of him later on, in especial memory ofhis recent efforts in behalf of the janitor.

Say, Helen! do you recollect,-oh, no! 'tis too much toexpect,-

When, standing in the hallway dark,I used to say " Good night, Miss -. "

But that is past, and now, although the lights are turneddown just as low,

You let me, when it's time to go,Say-" Helen."

(Posi'tively the last.)

I wrote a poem "To Helen," once,In meter light and gay;

And never thought that Helens tenWould read those lines next day;

And in those words I threw my heart;Alas, my time was spent,

For every Helen that I knewBelieved that she was meant.

I wrote a poem " To Helen," then,And thought the lines were gay;

I held her faults before the world;Imposing the array.

I laughed at all her petty whims,But I was fooled this time,

For every single Helen thoughtI meant the other nine.
