GAIN a short recess has%G -B, been held up to our view

77 i once more THE TECH___ Feweditors assert the rightto lay aside the pen,and hie themselves to

%">>'7~ Atother climes, where theChistmas goose and the legendary plum pud-ding, as well as the chimney corner of SantaClaus lore, will awaken their usual enthusi-asm. But first of all would they extend aword of appreciation to those from whom such

boon has been received without the petitions,well attested to by throngs of hard-workedmen, which other years have called forth.Nor, indeed, must the Institute Committee failto receive its share of grateful recognition forits timely action.

The recess will prohibit the issue of THETECH during the week of the twenty-fifth:therefore, it now appears before its readers asa double number, in a new dress, beggingfor approval. In the true spirit of the season,it presents to the Technology world a half-tone reproduction of the football team, whichhas fought its battles well, and though meet-ing reverses, has so deported itself that wecannot but applaud.

Just as THE TECH is going to press, welearn that a very substantial donation hascome to Technology through the bequest ofthe late Mr. Henry Saltonstall, a member ofthe Corporation. This hearty indorsementof the work of our Institute must be highlyencouraging to those who have its interests atheart, and coming at this time, is truly a mostdesirable Christmas gift.

Already the shop windows betoken theapproach of the holidays; the wallet of thewould-be Christmas champion has long pro-claimed it.

Even good old Mother Nature herself, pos-sibly to add a piquancy to guesswork, haspersisted in presenting her old-time variable-ness, ever a direct precursor of the sea-son which is at hand. But little can suchdiscrepancies subdue the jovial spirit of thetimes; instructor and student are alike inhappy anticipation of these days of freedom,and THE TECH extends to all, from PresidentWalker to the office boy, from sturdy prof. tothe applied grind, the heartiest wishes for amerry Christmastide.

THE TE--CH

T last the privileges of

Huntington Hallhave been granted tothe Glee and Banjo

Clubs for the eveningof January 2d, andthe musical contin-

gent of Technologywill then be enter-tained in a highly

'a)d .~ interesting manner.The clubs havetrained constantlyduring the year, and

a degree of excellence has been reached whichwill cause the attainments of other years tofade into insignificance. The appointment ofa musical committee by the Glee club has beenof especial value. Many of the inappropriatepieces which have heretofore figured to someextent in the concerts, have been discarded,and more enlivening songs introduced.

During the past few seasons the midwinterconcert has been made more and more of asocial event at Technology; one, indeed,which has stood prominently among the pleas-ant occasions of the year. For the benefit ofthe many a coat room should be temporarilyarranged, and every similar convenienceafforded where possible. It is to be regrettedthat the Lowell lectures require the variousscreens and other appliances with which thestage is usually obstructed. But we wouldsuggest that further efforts be made by theclubs than have been put forth in other years,to make theHall in every way as attractive aspossible.

Every Technology man must be well awareof the benefits to be derived from a Westerntour of the clubs. For years the question hasbeen broached, but every scheme has failed.This year, however, with a suitable guaranteefrom the Western Alumni Association, andespecially if sufficient support be given by fullattendance at the home concert, a trip may beanticipated.

. HERE is alwayspleasure in review-ing the happy timesof a college man,and the next best

II i~I[~l e thing is the enjoy-ment of them. Theclass of '95 has been

/~ most fortunate in thisrespect, not only inthe number presentatu the Parker Houselast Friday evening,

but also in the nature of the various addresses,and in the jolly good fellowship which reignedthroughout. Class dinners are ever jovialoccasions, and he is most repaid for the smallexpenditure who throws aside the restraint ofprofessional work, and "loosens up," so tospeak, yet controls himself within reason-able bounds. The Senior dinner, while not arecord breaker, may well be an example tobe followed by the lower classes. The menturned out in a splendid manner, and on everyhand could be seen not merely the undercur-rent of happiness that diplomas were at hand,but more impressively the regret that this wasto be the farewell dinner of the class as anundergraduate body.

Although much was said regarding the con-duct of the graduate toward those features bywhich Technology is recognized in the worldat large, we feel that a most important matterwas neglected,-assistance to, and co-opera-tion with, the Institute after graduation. Suc-cess in the professional world depends upontwo influences: a knowledge by each of hisindividual profession, and, an ability to workconscientiously. The first of these is taughtby our professors, and the second is enlargedenormously by attendance at the Institute.Dwelling only upon the unearned incrementtheory, we may ask how much more than theamount of our tuition is our profession worthto us?

..... E are glad to notethe ever-increasingfame of our collegeannual, " Tech-n ique," and the fre-

~~ [!)j ' :.quent allusionsi-- , !i. made to it in the

iL-i" t11 I-ll'X exchange and edi-..L torial columns of

leading college pa-pers of the country.

It is in the interest of Technology at large, aswell as that.of " Technique," that THE TECHurges all of artistic or literary ability to renderthe annual the hearty support which it mostcertainly deserves. The high degree of artisticexcellence which this book has always pre-served has helped it greatly in gaining itspresent position; and in order that no groundshall be lost, more competition is necessary inthe class histories and their accompanyingillustrations. The department of grinds,which is usually a prominent feature, has beenwoefully lacking in support this year. Withthe earnest co-operation of every member ofthe Institute, "6 Technique" could easily retainthe high standard in the future that it has gainedin the lpast.

T is gratifying to learnthat the DeutscherVerein is still hardat work on the pro-duction of its plays.

flu, .111~' _!eIf~s~The whole affair hasbeen placed in the

hands of a committee, consisting of the stagemanager-, the business manager, and theirassistants, and work is being actively prose-cuted. After the apparent lethargy into whicheverytlhing connected with the Verein seemedto have lapsed, the assurance of the managersthat a creditable performance is soon to bepresented is indeed welcome.

TEPS may be taken towardthe establishment of compul-sory physical training atTechnology. In many othercolleges, both l a r ger andsmaller than the Institute,particular attention has beenbestowed on this branch, andits establishment here would

l) doubtless serve to increase ina large measure the size and

efficiency of the department, besides furnish-ing a means for bringing out much goodathletic material, now latent. The importanceof the matter, especially at Technology,merits careful consideration; and it is to behoped that the question will not be droppedwithout thorough investigation.

structor Boos isyearly met. Everyone realizes the ineffi-ciency of the present gymnasium, and sincewe cannot have a new one, the necessityof keeping the Exeter Street building aswell supplied with athletic apparatus as pos-sible. This fall one or two improvementshave been made, notably the addition ofmore chest weights, much to the satis-faction of Technology's athletes; but thereare still many appliances of equal importanceto be supplied. Under the present system,the receipts from the rental of the lockers arehanded over to the Corporation, leaving Mr.Boos absolutely no basis to work upon. Thegeneral funds of the Corporation could relin-quish the locker receipts with much less detri-ment than can the gymnasium, and it is verymuch to be hoped that in future the athletic

instructor will have more power to rectify mis-takes directly under his observation. Not onlywould such a change greatly benefit those stu-dents who constantly use the gymnasilm, butalso it,would have its effect in increasing thenumber of those who exercise regularly, andwould give athletics at Technology a much-needed stimulus.

T may be well to warn thosewho have lately come among

/ rus against leaving articles ofVnr-~~ / value unguarded in any of

the rooms of the Institute.Already, as was the case lastyear, several overcoats have

'"'- ~ 4"- vbeen stolen, and it is im-possible to find any trace of the thief. Un-fortunately, with exception of the coat roomin Rogers, there is at the present time noplace where students' property can be held insafe keeping, and it is only by constant vigi-lance that losses can be avoided.

. d.. '~,.~L ~:.HE Institute Commit-tee has at length for-mally opened a com-petition in designs fora representativeTechnology pin. Asannounced in another

column, a prize has been offered, and aneffort made, to enlist the sympathy andworking interest of the student body. Asufficient length of time is assured to allowample opportunity for every man who hasthe requisite skill to attempt a drawing.Aside-from the honor which will accrue to thesuccessful artist, an interest in Technologyought to induce co-operation with the Com-mittee. In view of the importance of thematter, the Committee hopes that by the firstof February a large number of drawings willhave been produced, and that the scheme sosignally defeated last spring, will at this timeprove itself more successful.

ITH great pleas-ure we learn that

42~:*0E-0 Bernard has at

i'£'~ Go~, w length been pre-j1~uj, ." 1 ' vailed upon to

take charge of

i '11l D the French playsthis year. As

t'tT I~l- -. K stated in a for-

,'- e ti'/ Gomer issue, thesuccess of last

year's plays could hardly have been repeatedwithout his help, and L'Avenir is much tobe congratulated on having succeeded insecuring his valuable aid.

Mr. Bernard will be assisted in his work bya committee of six, and it is expected thatactive work on the plays will begin imme-diately after Christmas. It is proposed tohave two or more men study each part to in-sure the best production possible, and to pro-vide substitutes to take the part of any playerwho might be obliged to withdraw. Themembers of L'Avenir should appreciate thisexcellent opportunity for improving theirFrench, and should come forward willinglyand in good numbers to offer their services.The plays will be given, as last year, duringJunior Week.

T becomes the unfortunateduty of THE TECH Boardto announce the resignationof Mr. A. D. Fuller asEditor-in-Chief. His loss

· .' ~ is one which, though un-;- ~_ ~avoidable, must be partic-

ularly regretted at this time.From the date of his acces-

sion to the editorial staff, in his Sophomoreyear, Mr. Fuller has been an energeticworker. During the period in which he hasbeen chief editor, he has been a careful

adviser and able director. With the/ man-agement of the '95 "Technique" as editor,and with' his work in connection with THE

TECH, he has shown an executive ability whichbut few men at Technology have had an op-portunity to display.

At the meeting of the Board on Monday oflast week, Mr. C. G. Hyde, who has held,during the past year, the position of AssistantEditor-in-Chief, was elected to the office leftvacant by Mr. Fuller.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:-

The Institute Committee, through your columns,desires to call the attention of the students to the in-adequacy of the present Technology pin. This pinwhen designed, was merely intended as a makeshift, tobe worn by Technology men at the World's Fair. Overa year has passed by, and the pin is still worn in lieuof a better one. It is now fitting that this one shouldbe replaced by one which will reflect more credit uponTechnology and the tastes of the students.

To this end the Committee invites competition fromall students for a new design. A prize of five dollars($5) will be given to the person who presents the mostappropriate design. The competition will be openuntil Feb. I, I895, and designs may be handed to anymember of the Committee.

'Tis then that the thoughts of the summer come back,Of the walks in the woods, and the rides on the lake,-

Oh, this is a glorious place for work,And life at Tech is all but a fake !,

But the editor says he must have verse,Or the Christmas TECH will be a joke;

But how in the deuce can a fellow writeWhen his pipe is at home, and he cannot smoke?

THE Institute Committee, at its last meeting, Monday, December Ioth, was largelyoccupied with the reports of its various sub-committees, and the general completion of allbusiness undertaken during the early part ofthe year. The meeting was called to orderby Mr. Canfield, and the secretary's reportwas read by Mr. Hayden.

The committee appointed to confer with theExecutive Board of the Athletic Associationto choose eight upper classmen for the purposeof directing the cheering at all athletic con-tests, made the following report: from '95,Messrs. Fuller, Lothrop, Thomas, and Tilling-hast were elected; from '96, Messrs. Bald-win, Fisk, Hurd, and Hyde. Mr. Haydenannounced the resignation of Mr. Fuller, andMr. Abbott was chosen in his stead.

A report upon the possibility of securing theuse of the coat room from one to quarter pasttwo in the afternoon each day, was given byMr. Canfield. It was learned from Dr. Tylerthat the matter would be taken to the properauthority, the bursar, and, if possible, a pro-vision satisfactory to the students would bemade.

In regard to uniform Technology colors,Mr. Hayden reported that Dr. Tyler was will-ing to employ any colors, upon which theInstitute Committee should decide, for officialpurposes at Commencement and on otheroccasions.

The question of a Technology pin was oncemore broached, and a definite action taken.The Committee has considered it wise to actslowly in the matter, and obtain at length,even though late, a pin which will be thor-oughly approved. To stimulate a competitionfor designs, a prize of five dollars is offered bythe Committee, all drawings to be handed inby the first of February.

JJ/' RI/f i r 1 . tu dinner at........ "' :~-_ - the Old Elm.

A table was secured. for the entire Board,whose members did not fail to make the occa-sion a merry one. The Business Manager atonce became the cynosure of all thoughts, andimmediately obtained a prominence in theideals of his companions which would easilyoutrival the devotion of Damon to his counter-part Pythias. On account of the surroundingaliens, toasts were given in silence, and werewarmly applauded at important parts. Mr.Fuller entertained the company by a toast inthought on " The pleasures of an Ex-Editor-in-Chief;" Mr. Baldwin was a close secondon " How good it seems to have at last a noonlunch " (voicing the sentiments of those on theBoard whose failings in this line had, througha stress of work, become well mastered); Mr.Howard discoursed to himself "The ratiobetween, and the respective conviviality ofNinety-five, Ninety-six, and Ninety-seven attheir Class Dinners;" Mr. Davis rehearsedthe " Problem of obtaining credits on the dayfollowing relaxations of the above-mentionednature;" Mr. Coddington was on hand with" Lunches for THE TECH Board on Mondays,at i.50 P. M.;" Mr. Hyde decided that

I"Christmas Happiness" was only to be ob-tained after all copy was in; Mr. Norris rep-resented the " Coming French Plays." Atthis juncture, omelettes, steaks, and beershaving been disposed of, the editors hiedhemselves to other quarters.

THE Seniors gathered at the Parker Houselast Friday evening to enjoy their last under-graduate dinner. One hundred and fifteenmen were present, and it is thought that withthis number, Ninety-Five holds the record forthe Senior Dinner.

After a very tempting menu had been dis-cussed President Canfield arose, and after ashort address, introduced the toastmaster othe occasion,-Mr. Gerard Swope, who pre-sided throughout the evening in an exception-ally happy and graceful manner. He calledupon Mr. Sheridan to respond to the firsttoast, "Technology." Mr. Sheridan's re-marks were historical in character, of amingled light and serious nature, and wereenthusiastically received. In the next toast,,, Peculiar Characteristics," Mr. Fish madethe most of the opportunity to make a merryjest on prominent peculiarities. He respondedin a bright and very witty jingle, and thecontinual applause showed that the hits werekeenly appreciated. The Ninety-Five Quar-tette improvised for the occasion, and consist-ing of Messrs. Schmitz, Scofield, Wason andChase, then rendered a pleasing selection."Vignettes," by Mr. Belknap, from theirliveliness and reality, certainly warranted theirintrodution as II Living Pictures," by the toast-master. They were depicted in sprightly andunusually finished verse.

Mr. Thomas begged leave to digress some-what from his subject " The 'Varsity," to treatof more particularly Ninety-Five athletics.

TH[E TRECH.

The Seniors, he said, are champions of theInstitute; and as the Institute is champion ofNew England, the deduction of the championcollege class of New England is very clear.Although our start this year has not been par-ticularly auspicious, yet with hard work wemay repeat the hard-earned success of lastyear. Mr. Wiggin next very amiably triedto establish a place for " The Grind," andalthough his logic was evidently sound, hisconclusion did not find universal acceptance.Mr. R. K. Sheppard gave a forcible and veryearnest address on the serious purpose of ourpresence at Technology. Mr. Melluish thenrendered a delightful piano solo, which de-manded an encore.

Mr. Sadtler related entertainingly the dis-covery of the philosopher's stone in thechemical laboratory, and the highly originalusage to which it had been put. Mr. Tilling-hast then gave a very practical talk on foot-ball, which was listened to with marked atten-tion. In responding to the toast " The LastLap," Mr. Huxley referred to the custom, latelydisregarded, of Senior Classes leaving somememorial to the Institute, and suggested thatNinety-Five leave a voting booth and allnecessary apparatus for carrying on theAustralian ballot system. Mr. Drake took avery practical view of " The Future," andsuggested that men who fancied that theywould leave all work behind them at Tech-nology would possibly be disappointed. Es-pecially entertaining features were the brightand witty speeches of Messrs. Ames andSturges. After a solo by Mr. Schmitz andvarious popular songs, in which all joined inthe chorus, one of the most enjoyable ofNinety-Five's dinners was ended.

"'Tis better to have loved and lost,Than never to have loved at all."

OME time had passed

since either hadspoken. They sat be-fore the cheerful blaze

of an open fire; he, inY a well-padded, com-

fortable-looking easy-~ ~chair, and she just

opposite on a low has-sock, watching with downcast eyes the roseleaves flutter from her hand as she absentlypulled them one by one from the flower sheheld.

Outside it was a good, old-fashioned Christ-mas night. The wind whistled aroundcorners and through the naked tree tops,catching up the fast-falling snow and whirl-ing it into the face of each unlucky travelerwho chanced to be abroad. Jack Frost wassending the thermometer down, down, down,as if it, too, were trying to get in out of his chillpresence.

She was the first to break the silence, andwhen she lifted her big brown eyes to speak,there was a timid, frightened look in them,as if she knew she were doing wrong tospeak to him as she was about to speak.

"Jack," she said. He looked across towhere she was sitting and there was a mourn-ful. look in his eyes, but he turned awayquickly and did not interrupt her. "Jack,"she went on, hurriedly, " I know it is wrongand unmaidenly in me, and all that, to tellyou about it, but I can't help it. -I haveloved you ever since I ever saw you, I think.At first you merely amused me, and I liked tohave you around to help me kill time; but Igot to liking you more and more, and -well,that's all; and you, you don't care for me atall-do you,Jack?" He looked at her again;she was so picturesque, so beautiful, sittingthere in the firelight and speaking in such a

pleading little voice, while the hand that heldthe rose trembled; and then it was all sonear, he had merely to take a step -- but no;though he felt like a brute, he looked awayand did not answer.

There was a long silence, and then, losingall thought of herself, she came across towhere he sat, and kneeling down beside thechair, looked up into his eyes and whisperedsoftly, " Jack, dear, can't you love me just alittle bit, I love you so much, dear?" Stillhe remained silent and made no sign. Againthere was a long pause, broken this time bythe rustle of a gown and a little choking sob.He sprang to his feet and stood gazing at thedoor though which she had just passed; thenJack turned, and with a low whine waggedhis tail once or twice and fell asleep.

There will be no more lectures in Course Ain Military Tactics (Huntington Hall, Mon-days, 9-Io A. M.) during the current term.The lectures in Course B (Room 36, Tuesdaysand Wednesdays, 3.I5-4.I5 P. M.) and thedrills will continue to be regularly held.

The next meeting of L'Avenir will be heldon Monday, December 3Ist. It is hoped thatall the members will make a point of beingpresent, in view of the annual election ofofficers which will take place, and also ofother important business which will be trans-acted.

There is a prospect of regular gymnasiumexercise becoming a requirement at Tech-nology in the near future. Every student will

be expected to exercise two afternoons duringthe week for a period of about one hour, andmarks will be recorded in this as in othersubjects.

A. great source of inconvenience to Tech-nology men who have lockers at the gymna-sium, is the drilling of the Chauncy HallBattalion there on certain days. This sourceof annoyance would be averted were thelocker owners allowed to enter the gymnasiumto obtain their effects, but this is prohibited.

The register of students for this year showsan increase of twenty-six over last year.This is due largely to the increase in thenumber of graduate students, who, togetherwith the specials, constitute thirty-five percent of the total number enrolled. TheFreshman class is smaller by thirty-four thanthat of last year.

The third meeting of the M. I. T. Y. C.was held last Thursday, at 4.I5. P. AI. Theflag was formally adopted as a red burgeewith a white initial T and one blue five-pointedstar. The following men were elected tomembership: F. C. Field, C. F. Tillinghast,C. Tower, G. McCarthy, E. Johnson, S. Fos-dick Jones, W. P. Anderson, D. D. Field, E.R. Brackett, H. S. Baldwin, T. T. Brackett.

Last week the first steps were taken towardthe formation of a Cincinnati Club at - theInstitute. Cincinnati is one of the cities whichhas ever been represented by large numbersof men at Technology, and this club will servethe purpose of bringing these men together,giving them an opportunity to become betteracquainted. Such clubs have of late beenformed to a considerable extent at the Insti-tute, and constitute a most welcome additionto Technology's social life.

On Friday last, instead of the usual lectureby Professor Currier, the class in AmericanHistory listened to a delightful talk by Presi-dent Walker on '" some of the effects of thecivil war." President Walker spoke of the

I

effect of the late war upon the distribution ofthe colored race in the United States; of thedevelopment of the Poor White populationin the South; of the change in educationalmethods. Under this last head he brought upmany interesting points concerning the aimsof the college student before the war and theaims of the college student of to- day.

Mr. James Swan, instructor in NavalArchitecture, has just undertaken a workwhich indicates the practical nature of CourseXIII. The large screw ferryboat EastBoston, built some years ago for the EastBoston ferry, was soon found to be so poorlyadapted for the work of this line, on accountof her size and for other reasons, that shewas taken off the line after a few tripsand has not been used since. Mr. Swan hasmade a contract with the city to make theboat serviceable for the route by cutting herdown and altering her weight somewhat, andhe feels quite confident that his venture willbe a success.

The following men were initiated into K2Sat a recent meeting: Messrs. Defren, Good-willie, George Moore, '95; Franklin andGardiner, '97. Dr. Walker and Dr. Evanswere elected honorary members. The societythis year has obtained rooms at No. 439 Boyls-ton Street, which allows it to keep on filescientific papers and other current literature.Several " Smokers" have been held in therooms, at which papers have been read byGage, '96, on "The Treatment of Cellu-lose," Sadtler, '95, on " Chrome Tanning,"and Ellis, '95, on " Spectrum Analysis." Thenext dinner will be held at the Thorndike. onFriday, Dec. 28, 1894.

Der Deutsche Verein held a meeting onWednesday, December 5th, at 4.30 P. M., inRoom II, R. The following students wereelected to active membership: W. A. Kent,'96, H. C. Riley, '98, A. 0. Portner, '98. Mr.H. M. Goodwin, instructor in the Departmentof Physics, was elected an honorary member.

The Society voted that a committee of five beappointed by the president to take charge ofthe German plays, the committee to consist oftwo business managers, one stage manager,and two assistants. Mr. von Holst recitedtwo poems,-" Des Sangers Fluch," and1" Die letzten zehn Grenadieren." Mr. G. H.Matthes gave two anecdotes, which he illus-trated at the blackboard.

At the '96 Class meeting, held on Decem-ber I2th, more members were present than atany previous meeting this year. The Presi-dent stated that an arrangement had beenmade with the " Technique" Board, by whichthe present class picture would be accepted,with the provision that a successful reproduc-tion could be made. It was moved and carriedto increase the amount to be expended on theclass picture to twenty-five dollars. When thematter of a class pin was brought before themeeting considerable discussion followed. Asa result, a book containing the various designssubmitted by the committee on pins will becirculated through the class, and in this man-ner the most popular pin can be determined.Rockwell reported the class games heldDecember 8th, and after an appropriation ofsix dollars and fifty cents was made, to coverentrance fees at these games, the meetingadjourned.

The Society of Arts held a very interestingmeeting last Thursday evening in Room II,

Rogers. The audience was a large one, andvery nearly filled the room. Mr. Farnhamread a most carefully prepared paper on"6 Electrolysis of Water pipes-its cause andprevention." He first gave an account ofpreliminary investigations of the subject threeor four years ago, and explained experimentswhich were made to demonstrate that suchaction took place. He explained that theelectrolysis only took place when the pipeswere at a higher potential than the earth, andshowed a map indicating where this was thecase in Boston. Mr. Farnham then stated

the means which had been undertaken in

Boston and in other cities to prevent this

action. His remarks were very beautifullyillustrated by lantern slides and by specimensof pipes and cables' which had been eaten

away by electrolysis.

L'Avenir held a very enthusiastic meetingin Room 23, Walker, on Monday, DecemberIoth, at 4.I5. About thirty members werepresent to hear from Mr. Bernard concerningthe plays. After the letter written by theExecutive Committee to Mr. Bernard, askinghim to take charge of the plays, had beenread, Mr. Bernard addressed the society.He signified his intention of accepting thecharge, and explained the methods he woulduse. At his request a committee of six waselected to aid him and his brother in theirwork. These were F. A. Bourne, '95, W.E. Davis, Jr., '95, A. W. Drake, '95, F. A.J. Fitzgerald, '95, R. Norris, '96, and W. O.Sawtelle, '97. Should any of these menbe chosen to act in the plays, Mr. Bernardwill appoint their successors on the committee.The report of the dinner committee was thenread. It was recommended that the dinnerbe held at Marliave's, on December 2Ist, at8 P.A. The report was accepted, and a largenumber signified their intention of beingpresent.

As announced in a recent issue, THE TECHis enabled to publish this week a list of CourseI. graduates who have become Presidents orChief Engineers of Railroads in the UnitedStates. For the following compilation, andfor that, also, of Technology men who arenow in charge of engineering work in theCity of Boston, printed a short time since, weare indebted to Professor Allen:

PRESIDENTS OF RAILROADS.

So many inquiries have been made in re-

gard to the medal and prize won by thearchitects in the competition recently held in

New York City, that THE TECH publishes

the official criticism received by ProfessorChandler. There were thirty-seven competi-

tors, representing Columbia College, Boston

Art Club and various New York Clubs, be-sides many offices in New York City. F. M.

Mann won the medal for especial excellenceof plan and section, upon which the followingcriticism was made: " The elevation of this

design, while well composed and rendered, issomewhat too heavy and out of character for

a small building, demanding rather lightnessand grace than monumental repose. The

plan, however, is excellent, both in arrange-ment and indication, and the section is well

drawn and in character." First mention was

awarded H. H. Thorndike. His "plan is

especially brilliant and well characterized, the

elevation being less happy in these respects."W. B. Faville was accorded the 8th secondmention, which presented noticeably gooddetails, and showed good work. The draw-ings taking the medal, two first mentions

and the 8th second mentions, will be ex-hibited at the Architectural League AnnualExhibition in New York City. The document

was signed for the Jury by the Committee onEducation, consisting of Mr. John M. Carrue,chairman, Mr. John G. Howard, Mr. Ernest

Free Tuition Funds for Technology.

1HE TECH h'as not suffi-

cient space to reprint infull the article on FreeTuition Funds for Tech-

nology, by Dr. Ripley,which recently appeared

in the daily papers. The article is a pleafor local responsibility in the matter offree education of young men. The writerpoints out the fact that the number of worthyapplicants for scholarships is nearly fifty percent greater than that of last year; and of theninety-eight applicants, only twenty can beprovided for by the State, and but $5,6oo00 isavailable.where $I6,ooo is needed for the freetuition of the remaining seventy-eight. "Thisfact," he remarks, "will clearly disprove thecurrent statement that it is perfectly easy forany worthy young man to obtain an educationat little cost."

Speaking of education in technical schools,he says: "Suppose the training in questionis intended not as a finishing touch in educa-tion, but simply to provide a future means oflivelihood; and suppose, moreover, that sucheducation should be particularly expensive ascompared with the ordinary college training;why should a horde of students from all overthe world expect to rely on the liberality ofthe private citizens of Boston or of easternMassachusetts?" Again, he says that onlyforty per cent of the students of the Institutereside in this State, although about fifty percent of the applications for assistance camefrom this constituency, and that most of theapplicants were residents of suburball towns.He mentions Milton and Newburyport astowns where the principle of local responsi-bility has been well applied, and says:"There is no reason why the cities of Newton,Brookline, Malden, or Lynn should not en-courage this education in proportion to thenumber of their students, at least. The pop-ular rendering of the idea may well be,' Noeducation without benefaction."'

The Technology Athletic Club is the oldestathletic club in Boston, and, excluding thoseof Harvard and Yale, the oldest in NewEngland. It was organized in I879.

It has been voted by the Executive Com-mittee of the Athletic Club to give record cupsin standard events only. These, which cor-respond with the New England Championshipevents, are Ioo-yard run, 22o-yard run, 440-yard run, half-mile run, mile run, two-milerun, I 20-y ard hurdle race(Io hurdles, 3 ft. 6in. ),22o-yard hurdle race (Io hurdles, 2ft. 6in.),one-mile walk, running high jump, runningbroad jump, pole vaulting, putting shot (I6lbs.), throwing hammer (I6 lbs.), two-milesafety bicycle race.

A team race has been arranged betweenTechnology and Brown, by the B. A. A., forits meeting in Mechanic's Building in February.Mr. Macomber of Brown attended the classgames last Saturday, to make negotiations withJohn Graham of B. A. A., and CaptainThomas of the Track Team, and incidentallywatched the competitions. It was learnedthat there are some very good runners atBrown this year, especially in the enteringclass, and her representative thought the racewould prove close and interesting. Thismatch surely meets the approval of everyTechnology man.

An important meeting of the ExecutiveCommittee of the Athletic Club was held onWednesday of last week. The validity of theentry of A. V. Shaw was first discussed. Hewas entered by the '95. captain in the recentindoor meeting, and an investigation proved

H. Green, '96, in the fencevault was objected to on the ground that it wasnot received in time. He was allowed tocompete, however, under protest, and he wonthe event. It was decided not to concede firstprize to Mr. Green, as his entry did not appearon the list given by the '96 Class captain to theSecretary of the Athletic Club. Severalmotions were passed which appear as informa-tion in another column. The Treasurer sub-mitted an encouraging informal report on thefinances of the Club, and records with holderswere accepted in the following events: 35-yarddash, 42 seconds, held by E. A.

THE LOUNGER is glad to lie back comfortably in hischair with that full satisfaction which comes from theconsciousness of duties not performed, and he rejoicesthat he and the prof. may alike enjoy release fromcare, and merrily indulge in the hilarity of Christmasand its joyful associations. He feels that a certainrelaxation of mind-this not being his habitual state,as his enemies have insinuated-is of incalculablebenefit at this season, when the merry jingle of thesleigh-bells mingles gleefully with the curses of theman who has just slipped on the cold and uninvit-ing pave. As the Lounger has before remarked, he isno weather prophet, and so he declines to risk hisreputation again on any rash hazard as to whetherSaint Nick's jovial feast will be ushered.in with thun-der, lightning, rain, balmy breezes, or zero blizzards.It is too uncertain, and life is too short to waste itsbest years in vain endeavors to pierce the veil of thefuture.

However, the Lounger's fire crackles merrily, send-ing the warm glow out into his cheerful den, the lampburns with a soft radiance, and all is bright and cheerful.He gazes on the glittering score which the nobleJuniors made at the recent meet, and he congratulatesthem on their victory. He is not surprised that theSophomores succeeded, with their usual enthusiasm,in capturing last place; in fact, it was rather tobe expected. The Freshmen are rejoicing greatlyover the surprise of their " dark horse" ; the Seniorsacquiesce gracefully, and all is harmonious. Perhapsthe joviality of a record-breaking Senior dinner hashad much to do with the era of good feeling which'95 seems to have entered upon. Their dinnerwas surely a remarkable one in many respects, andwill doubtless prove memorable to the ancient hostelwhere it was held, for untold quantities of bric-a-bracwere retained as souvenirs. Brilliant oratory, catchyverse, and popular speakers certainly did muchto enhance the pleasure of the evening, though a

marked tendency in some to Bacchanalian orgies didnot fail to produce a queer impression of the sobrietyof our Senior Class. The Lounger has always re-gretted that some way could not be devised for repress-ing about half a dozen of the men who invariablymake fools of themselves at a class dinner. If onlythese few weak-minded youths could be persuaded totake a modicum of self-control with them, they mightprove less disturbing factors. As it was, however,much occurred which the Lounger does not careto recount, and he must needs content himself withan appeal to the common sense and decency ofTechnology.

However, all is past. Christmas is upon us; let notits joy be marred by the dark toil of him who was sospeciously defended at the dinner. "Enjoy yourselfwhile you live, for you will be a long time dead," hasalways seemed an appropriate sentiment to theLounger, and with this admonition he extends to allhis jovial greeting and hearty wishes for a "MerryChristmas."

One of those rare mistakes in Technology's Bureauof General Management is responsible for a queermuddle which the Lounger is glad to give to the worldfor its edification.

A certain man's work was not up to the requiredmark at one of the recent intermediates, and a facultybizeet-doux was sent to his father, advising him of thelow regard in which the Institute held such efforts ashis son had recently been putting forth. This was ayoung man, and so his report went likewise to hisfather. Now the man's record had stood 4 F's and2 P's, but by some peculiar transmogrification, whichsometimes asserts itself in the inner circle, his reportwas made out to read 4 C's and 2 P's. The fatherlooked at the report and then at the billet-doux, and apuzzled expression might have been seen stealing overhis countenance. Nevertheless, not being versed inthe ways of the Bureau, and deeming everything whichemanated therefrom to be impeccably correct, heindited a polite letter to the authorities, in which hestated that he should consider 4 C's and 2 P's a fairreport; but since the Institute judged otherwise, hewould see that his son got all C's in future. This iscertainly interesting, but does not cut any figure, theLounger opines, with the lively scenes which the pa-rental home will witness on the arrival of that secondreport containing the four F's.

· . · . · · · · ·

It seems that not even three months of Technology,nor the acerb criticisms of the Bird, have sufficed toremove all the silliness fronm the Freshman brain.Some of the more youthful members of Ninety-eight,as they toddled aimlessly from recitation, seem to havetaken a peculiarly infantile delight in tampering withthe blackboard notices. Some they mischievouslyaltered to a ridiculous or completely opposite signifi-cation, some they erased, and for the pure and holytruths which usually decorate the boards substitutedunsubstantial fiction. It might not have been so badhad the playful urchins confined their attentions tothe Secretary's " own " board; but not even the Chris-tian Union bulletin was exempt, and their childishdoings were the cause of much confusion, objurgation,and damnation. All this seems to have been regardedas the very acme of a good time, but it has about it,nevertheless, an air of idiocy which the Lounger issorry to observe.

If the Lounger's correspondents could but realizethe arduous duties which beset the boy who emptiesthe Lounger's waste basket, they would gain some ideaof the extent of his voluminous correspondence. Heis referred to on all subjects, from points of etiquetteto Technology finance; and he is glad to say that toeach and every one he gives adequate and faultlessanswer. Occasionally a puzzler comes, however, andsuch a one he has recently received. Not that thequestion requires any unusual exercise of critical dis-cernment, for it is not a question at all. It is a re-quest, and, what is more, from a fair damsel whom theLounger regrets to disappoint. It seems that one ofthe Lounger's erstwhile popular expressions has metwith her disfavor, and she asks that the Loungercudgel his brains for a new one. He has alreadymade use of all the bonmo/ts and clever expressionsextant, and cannot see what he is to do. If she willinvent a few new ones and send them in, the Loungerwill try to cull a few suitable phrases, which, escapingthe ban of the Editor-in-chief, shall constitute a val-uable and redundant feature of his weekly disquisitions.

A Freshman WANail.I'd like to be a graduate,

And make a pile of " mun.";I'd like to be a Senior, who

They say has all the fun.But hold: I wish for nothing more;

I see it's all a sham;The height of my ambition now

Is to pass this next exam.

A STAR TEAM.

If a football team I wished to make,Men with plenty of brains,

Some Jews would be the men I'd take,For they always make great gains.

How do yon yachts so cut the seas,Crossing the line mid the thundering cheers?

'Tis simple enough when you only know:It's because they have such sheers.

-B.

Once Cupid, in his roguish way,Into a room went peeping,

And there upon the sofil layA maiden, calmly sleeping.

Then Cupid straightway aimed a dart,With a triumphant grin;

The shot was careless, missed her heart,And struck her in the chin.

He drew the shaft and kissed the place;'Twas healed by means so simple;

The wound, however, left a trace,A charming little dimple.

-- The University Courier.

A BACHELOR'S LIFE.

I go where I list, and return when I please,Am free as the foys of the wandering breeze;In a stoupe of good wine and a sup with a friend,There's a depth of good cheer with which naught can

contend.I'm free from all care and a shrew of a wife,So drink me a toast to a bachelor's life.

When even comes on 'mid the gathering gloom,I speed me away to my bachelor room;I don an old coat, put my feet on a chair,And list for the step of a friend on the stair.So free is my life from bicker and strife,That I never will leave my bachelor life.

I smoke my old pipe, and I puff up the rings,And revel in songs that sweet memory sings.Then slowly there rises before me a faceWhose features the smoke rings seem fondly to trace.

-Ah, this is the life-but pshaw! I will goAnd ask her again; she may not say no.

-- University of Chicago Weekly.

"I dote on oaks," said the languishing maid,"So noble, so stately, though few;Tell me, now, Mr. Jones, what's your favorite tree?'"

And he tenderly answered, " Yew."-Ex.

HARVARD VS. YALE.

He met her at the Springfield game;She wore the Harvard rose,

He wore the violets of Yale:They almost came to blows.

But by and by-their anger cooled,And friendship they did swear,

And later still-well, they agreedTo orange blossoms wear.

-Yale Record.

HE WOULD FOOT THE BILL.

"I've bought a bonnet, papa dear;My beau declares 'tis trimmed with skill;

I have no funds, and I've come hereTo see if you will foot the bill."

"Your beau! And what may be his name?"The father roughly questioned her;

She hung her head, with cheeks aflame,She softly answered, "i William, sir."

His eyes shone with a dangerous light:"Hum! So he says 'tis trimmed with skill?Well, bring him to the house to-night,

And I will gladly foot your Bill."-Siobud.

A DREAM.

High on the landing she sent her glanceDown at me;

The music was playing the latest danceM\errily.

Standing alone in the glancing light,Clad in a robe of shimmering white,She gazed at me as a spirit might,

Fair to see.

Brown was her hair, with a touch of gold,Dear to me;

Eyes with the depth the rivers hold,Bold and free;

Slender feet on the polished stair,Half a child with her artless air,Lovely, and sweet, and debonnaire,

Fair to see.

Ardent the words I whispered low,Passionately;

Love that could never colder growWas my plea

Then her laughter vanished quite,Sobbing "No," she waved good-night,Turning, vanished from my sight,
