-ECHNOLOGY was calledupon last week to mourn theloss of one of her most hon-ored and beloved professors,Alphonse N. van Daell,

whose death creates a gap in our Institute lifewhich it will be well-nigh impossible to fill.

Professor van Daell's career has been oneof marked success. Coming to this countryin I873, he was called to the chair of profes-sor of Modern Languages at Kentucky Col-lege in 1876; he filled successively thepositions of instructor at Haverford College,lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania,and director of Modern Languages in theBoston High and Latin Schools. In thislatter position he became well known to Bos-

this most important and difficult office led to hisselection as head of the department of Mod-ern Languages at Technology, made vacantby the death of Professor Otis in I889. Hislife work was marked by sincere devotion toduty; primarily, it was overwork while invery poor health which caused his death.He was known in educational circles as aman of the highest ability; his conscientiousfulfillment of everything he undertook wasrewarded by the esteem of his fellow men;his whole-souled nature and kindly dispo-sition wvon the love of all who camne in con-tact with him; among the students he wvontheir respect and admiration in the highestdegree.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to hisbereaved family in their sorrow. All Tech-nology mourns his death as that of a per-sonal friend.

UNIOR WEEK has beenofficially designated as thefourth week in April, andas the arrangements anddetails are fast assumingdefinite form, it is possible

i L to outline the events whichtogether will form the one

season of general festivity in the Institute year,the only social functions participated in by allalike.

The most important will be the appearanceof "Technique, 1900oo," probably on Wednes-day, April 26th, at noon. Chronologically,the reception to the guests of theJunior Prom-enade will come first, on Monday afternoon,April 2 4 th, at the Technology Club. TheProm. itself will follow on the same evening

tonians, and his successful administration Iof in Copley Hall.

1�6 THE TECH.-i

In THE TECH office and adjoining roomsthe Editors of THE TECH will be "at home"on the afternoon of Tuesday the 25th. Thatevening in Paul Revere Hall, the MusicalClubs give the concert, to be followed by aninformal dance. Wednesday evening, the26th, will witness the presentation of " ThePrivate Secretary," by the Walker Club, inCopley Hall. Two or three less formal af-fairs are being planned, which will make upthe quota of enjoyable events which comprisethe approaching Junior Week.

N the time that has passed since theInterscholastic Drill held by theFreshman Class, the question ofthe propriety of continuing suchdrills in succeeding years has been

discussed at some length in the various com-munications to THE TECH from members ofthe Senior, the Sophomore, and the Fresh-man classes. Up to the present we haverefrained from taking either side of the con-troversy.. Judging impartially, we now sup-port the Class of I902.

The objections brought forward by thoseopposed to the Institute holding Interscholas-tic drills may be traced largely to the con-servatism of the Seniors in the one case, and,in the other, to the traditional hostility of theSophomores to any enterprise undertaken bythe Freshman Class. The Freshmen claimwith justice that such drills are but an exten-sion of the system of interscholastic athleticmeets, that are frequently held under the aus-pices of leading New England colleges.Such meets have exerted a marked influenceupon the subsequent athletic standing of thecolleges where they are held.

In the case under consideration, eventhough the Institute's Battalion is not directlybenefited, the attention of men in the variouspreparatory schools will be called to Technol-ogy as well as to Harvard, Yale, and othercolleges.

In dismissing the matter we wish to callattention to the fact that the Technology cheergiven with English High at the end is notacceptable to true Technology men. Thereare points of etiquette connected with the useof the college yell that must be observed byevery man in the Institute.

HE trustees of the Institute areat last taking steps to providethe Walker and EngineeringBuildings with fire escapes, andalso to increase the meager pro-tection now afforded in this line

on the Rogers Building. As we think of theyears already passed with no means of escapefrom the crowded fourth floor of the WalkerBuilding, such a serious oversight on the partof the trustees or the architects who designedthe building can hardly be pardoned. Thereis every opportunity for flames to spreadthrough the center of the building in a spacewhich one crosses no less than five times inleaving the building from the Freshman Lab-oratory. Dangerous to no less degree is theexit from Huntington Hall in the RogersBuilding, and this concerns not alone thestudents, but also those people who attendthe Lowell Institute lectures. As in theBoylston Street buildings, so in the threebuildings on Trinity Place, we find theirrespective entrances threatened in case offire to the same hazardous extent. The pres-ent precautions are not taken as a result ofthe disastrous Windsor Hotel fire, but inexecution of plans recommended some timebefore. The fireproof windows wllich areto be placed on Engineering A were notneeded before the erection of the West-minster.

Rifle Practice.A MEETING was held on Thursday, March

3 oth, in Huntington Hall, preparatory toforming class rifle teams, and a 'varsity rifleteam. The movement is in the hands of theMilitary Director, Captain Bordman, andcompetition for the teams has been thrownopen to all undergraduate classes in the Insti-tute. About seventy-five men signified their in-tention of trying for the teams. A committeeconsisting of Messrs. G. C. Winslow, '99;G. E. Russell, 'oo, F. Du B. Ingalls, 'oo, W.H. Rasche, 'oI, and W. V. Morse, '02, wasappointed to act as a medium of informationbetween Captain Bordman and the differentclasses.

Captain Bordman's plan is to form classrifle teams of seven men, and from these toselect members for the 'varsity rifle team.Interclass and intercollegiate matches will bearranged. The teams will practice at Wal-nut Hill range; and the expenses, financially,will be small. The ammunition will be fur-nished free to members of the Class of I902by the Institute, and there will be, probably,enough to supply the other class teams aswell.

Precautions Against Fire.SINCE the fire in the Architectural Build-

ing last spring, extra precautions have beentaken against the repetition of a similar dis-aster. The windows between the new Archi-tectural Building and the Engineering Build-ing, have been bricked up, thus preventing afire, should it start in either of the buildings,from spreading to the others. As an extraprecaution against this, the doors on thedifferent floors between the two buildings areof metal. In different parts of the new PierceBuilding fire hose are fastened to the walls,and attached to hydrants ready for immediateuse. Thus the above mentioned buildingsare well provided with fire preventives.

In a short time the Rogers and WalkerBuildings will be provided with fire escapes,

which are to be erected on the east and westsides of both buildings. These fire escapesare to reach to the top of both buildings, adistance of about eighty feet. It seems as ifthese safeguards would be especially wellplaced in the case of the Walker Building,for, however great care be taken, a certainamount of danger exists firom a fire origi-nating in the laboratories. While the chancesare that none of this fire apparatus will everbe used, still there is a greater feeling ofsafety when it is present.

M. I. T. A. A.

A MEETING of the Executive Committeewas held on Friday, at which permissionwas received from the Advisory Councilto conclude arrangements for the Dual Meetwith Brown. The Advisory Council also re-quested the association to reopen negotiationswith Amherst, to see if a meet cannot bearranged.

A communication was received from thePark Commission granting the use of theCharlesbank gymnasium at an early date.Resolutions thanking both President Crafts,for his interest, and the Park Commission,for its kindness, were passed.

A committee was appointed by the chairto draw up a resolution to be sent to the pr)-posed gymnasium committee. This reso-lution is simply the expression of under-graduate opinion in regard to the new gym-nasium. Its purport is that it is the firmbelief of the Athletic Association that theundergraduate body will be more benefitedif a gymnasium of less cost is built, and theremainder of the sum is spent in buying andequipping a field that shall contain a cindertrack and athletic field, a baseball field anda football field. This resolution will beconcurred in by the Football Association,and sent to the committee for their consid-eration.

All Sophomores wishing class canes andclass pipes should order them at once of theCommittee,-C. W. Adams, R. L. Shepard,and R. Murray.

Last Friday Professor Sedgwick spoke tothe Class Day Committee of its duties andrequirements. Mr. Blake, the First Marshal,was empowered to appoint the committees.

As yet no decided action as to the successorof the late Prof. Van Daell has been taken.The probabilities are, however, that either

Associate Professor Dippold or Assistant Pro-fessor Vogel will fill the vacancy.

At the meeting of the Freshman Class onTuesday the Military Committee reported onthe Interscholastic Drill, and were reappointedto form plans for an exhibition and prize drill,to be submitted to the Class at its next meeting.

By an oversight Mr. W. H. Farmer's namewas omitted in the account of the FreshmanDinner. As Chairman of the Dinner Com-mittee, Mr. Farmer is entitled to a generousportion of the credit for the success of theaffair.

The Gun Club has procured two suitablecups as prizes in the series of HandicapShoots. All the members are urged to comeout to these shoots and to try for the team.At the shoot on April ist Messrs. Miller andDelano were high guns.

Mr. W. Lyman Underwood gave a mostinteresting and delightful talk at the Technol-ogy Club on Friday evening. His stereopti-con views showed the excellent success hehas had in " Hunting with a Camera." Mr.Underwood makes a specialty of photograph-ing wild animals and woodland scenes.

At the last meeting of the Society of Arts,Mr. Francis R. Hart, F. R. G. S., gave a veryinteresting description, illustrated by stereop-ticon views, of the system of transportationconnecting the sea-coast town of Cartegena,Colombia, with the large interior basin drainedby the Magdalena River, rich in rubber, coffee,and gold.

The annual smoke talk of the ElectricalEngineering Society was held at TechnologyClub on Wednesday evening, March 22d.The affair cannot be chronicled as a success,as there was very little smoke and less talk,not a single invited guest being present. Andwhat has always been a most enjoyable occa-sion resulted, through the lack of efficiency ofthe committee in charge, in a flat failure.

Civil Engineering Society Dinner.

THE Civil Engineering Society held itssecond annual dinner last Friday night, atthe United States Hotel. The attendance ofseventy members brought out most clearly thegreat strength of this Society. In every waythe dinner was a most complete success.

The President of the Society, H. H. Starr,'99, in a neat little speech introduced thetoastmaster, Bernard Hermann, '99. To saythe least that can be said, Mr. Hermann filled

his difficult position admirably, and waswarmly and continually applauded for hisbrilliant sallies.

Mr. Hermann first introduced ProfessorSwain. After a few cracks at the other pro-fessors present, Professor Swain spoke in amore serious vein. He deplored the lack ofdebating societies, where students could gainthe skill to speak in public. He was veryoptimistic as to civil engineering in this coun-try, and called attention to the broad fieldthat the profession covered. The studentsshould not forget that civil engineering is abusiness, and that to take advantage of theopportunities, they must pay attention to thebusiness side.

Messrs. Brownell, Addicks, Chase, andOxnard played several pieces through theevening, and Mr. Loud sang two solos, whichwere very warmly received.

After a few witty remarks, Professor Allendwelt upon the advantages of an engineeringtraining, enabling one to see things as theyare, and to take them as one finds them.Mr. Sweet made a droll speech, which wasfrequently interrupted by applause. Mr.McKibben spoke of the process of the leadingengineering works of I898-I899, mentioningthe completion of the survey between NewYork and Massachusetts, the two steel archesover the Niagara River, the Panama andNicaraguan canals, the subway, and the pro-jected elevated road in Boston. ProfessorRobbins spoke upon the benefit in visiting theindustries around Boston, after which speechProfessor Porter talked of the advantages ofthe Engineering Summer School.

Professor Burton presented a new view ofdesign to the students. He believed thebeauty of a structure was one of the mostessential requisites, and that a structure oftenowed its longevity to its beauty. He thencited examples of the tearing down of struc-tures, owing, primarily, to their ugliness. Heclosed with a few happy remarks, and themeeting was over.

The annual smoke talk of the ElectricalEngineering Society was held at TechnologyClub on Wednesday evening, March 22d.The affair cannot be chronicled as a success,as there was very little smoke and less talk,not a single invited guest being present. Andwhat has always been a most enjoyable occa-sion resulted, through the lack of efficiency ofthe committee in charge, in a flat failure.

Civil Engineering Society Dinner.

THE Civil Engineering Society held itssecond annual dinner last Friday night, atthe United States Hotel. The attendance ofseventy members brought out most clearly thegreat strength of this Society. In every waythe dinner was a most complete success.

The President of the Society, H. H. Starr,'99, in a neat little speech introduced thetoastmaster, Bernard Hermann, '99. To saythe least that can be said, Mr. Hermann filled

his difficult position admirably, and waswarmly and continually applauded for hisbrilliant sallies.

Mr. Hermann first introduced ProfessorSwain. After a few cracks at the other pro-fessors present, Professor Swain spoke in amore serious vein. He deplored the lack ofdebating societies, where students could gainthe skill to speak in public. He was veryoptimistic as to civil engineering in this coun-try, and called attention to the broad fieldthat the profession covered. The studentsshould not forget that civil engineering is abusiness, and that to take advantage of theopportunities, they must pay attention to thebusiness side.

Messrs. Brownell, Addicks, Chase, andOxnard played several pieces through theevening, and Mr. Loud sang two solos, whichwere very warmly received.

After a few witty remarks, Professor Allendwelt upon the advantages of an engineeringtraining, enabling one to see things as theyare, and to take them as one finds them.Mr. Sweet made a droll speech, which wasfrequently interrupted by applause. Mr.McKibben spoke of the process of the leadingengineering works of I898-I899, mentioningthe completion of the survey between NewYork and Massachusetts, the two steel archesover the Niagara River, the Panama andNicaraguan canals, the subway, and the pro-jected elevated road in Boston. ProfessorRobbins spoke upon the benefit in visiting theindustries around Boston, after which speechProfessor Porter talked of the advantages ofthe Engineering Summer School.

Professor Burton presented a new view ofdesign to the students. He believed thebeauty of a structure was one of the mostessential requisites, and that a structure oftenowed its longevity to its beauty. He thencited examples of the tearing down of struc-tures, owing, primarily, to their ugliness. Heclosed with a few happy remarks, and themeeting was over.

GOMMUNIGAUUDIONS.

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for opin-ions expressed by correspondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:

I write in answer to the article in last week's TECH.

signed by "'99.'' He says that the criticism of the'Varsity Football team does not lie within the prov-ince of a Freshman. This is not so; first, becausethe Freshman Class is called upon to support theteam, and, secondly, because it did support theteam. Nineteen Hundred and Two gave more moneythan any other class. Nineteen Hundred and Twohad just as many men on the team as '99, and had agood many more men than the Seniors trying for it.Here are the names of a few who played in parts ofthe 'Varsity games: Pond, Storer, Allyn, Mansfield,H. L. Pope.

We know the 'Varsity is more than glad to acceptthe co-operation of a class like i902, and the teamis willing and expects to take any criticism offeredin the right spirit that a Freshman chooses to offer.

If the above were not so, the team would have noright to expect any kind of support from the Fresh-man Class, because we would say we cannot toleratetaxation without representation.

Furthermore, the criticisms of individual membersof the Freshman Class for not trying for the 'Varsityteam does not lie within the province of'99. It is

ungentlemanly and interfering, to say the least. Mr.Parker and Mr. Dakin had their own reasons for nottrying for the team, and I know they were very goodreasons.

Again, I wish to call the attention of the Seniorsconnected with the drill controversy to the fact thatthe arguments advanced by 1902 have as yet beenunanswered, and from this we conclude that theyadmit a victory to us.

R. A. POPE, 1902.

TOr TrHE EDITORS OF THE TECH:-

Although I did not think it necessary to try to con-vert the short-sighted Senior to the cause of FreshmanDrill, yet I think that now a short but powerful argu-ment should be made, not in defense of the stand takenby '02 in military matters, but in reply to certain

arguments made by the correspondent of 1899.He has exhorted '02 "by all that is dear to a Tech.

man " to give up the Annual Competition in Military

Drill. In reply to his plea, I ask him what is dear toevery Tech. man? Is it a purely social, selfish, mis-taken spirit, which perhaps thirty per cent of theTechnology students cherish ah their ideal, or is it anobler and more American support of everything whichtends toward raising Technology to a height which hasbeen indifferently sought in former years?

The member of the Class of '99 has taken the firstas his ideal. He wants Technology to keep on adownward journey in military drill, started when i9oowas defeated by Brown. He does not want any gooddrillers to come to Technology as the foster mother ofcollege drill. If, however, he would take off hisblinders, he would see a steady stream of young men,finely set up and experienced in military drill, seekingentrance to Technology to keep up her former gloryin military work, because she had extended a guidinghand to them, or because the Class of 1902 had, in thename of the Institute.

I am afraid that '99 did not realize how he was lay-ing himself defenseless against the "finger of scorn"when he took his stand in behalf of that selfish, mis-taken Tech. "spirit." He should have attended thedrill and patronized his school institutions, and then hewould not have tried to proclaim himself a martyr inthe rebellion against Freshman Drill.

F. M., '02.

Resignation.(With apologies to E. H1. D.)

Alas! my little vanityHas suffered quite a shock,

To see the way you soaked my verseAbout the Rogers clock.

The reverence due to any clockWould suffer quite a check,

If its two hands, as you assert,Revolved around its neck.

So, though I can't agree to that,I think upon reflection

That I had better own right up,And take your kind correction.

And as I know my little verseWas very far fromn clever,

I think that like the poor old clockI'd best be still forever.

So, though I have had some successAs soul and mind distressor,

It is my duty to resign,If you'll be my successor.

Spring practice for the 'Varsity Footballteam will be held every Monday and Wed-nesday afternoons. Men should be at the"Gym." at four o'clock.

The matter of a coach for the weight menhas not as yet been decided upon. If it isfound that practicing with the weights can bedone at the Charlesbank, it is quite probablethat Mr. Bowler will do the coaching.

McDonald,'oi, has been doing exceptionallygood work with the shot. By faithful traininghe has worked up to a good mark, and with alittle professional coaching it looks as if hewould give Tech. some unexpected points inthe shot-put at Worcester.

L. S.

202~~~ ~ ~ ~ · ~~ IMB

ALTHOUGH the Lounger's friend, the local editor, hasnot as yet announced the official beginning of spring(i. e., the removal of the wooden integuments from theterraced approach to the corridor of the Rogers Build-ing), there are many signs which aid the recent Easterseason in pointing out to the duly initiated theapproach of that delightful season next precedingsummer. Chief among these the Lounger may men-tion the appearance of the spring poet, two of whichspecies seem to be at work about the Institute with anenergy worthy of a better cause. Truly the Loungergrieves to think how sad the poor, inoffensive clockbut shortly placed in the corridor must feel at beingmade the subject of such effusions as have appearednot long since in another place, and he wishes toexpress his entire sympathy with his anonymous cor-respondent who modestly handed in the followingmonument of literary endeavor:-

"0 O poor old clock in Rogers,Small wonder that you ' go'

To try and get beyond earshotOf the stuff those poets ' poe.'"

The Lounger has in more than one instance venturedto remark upon the prevalence and importance in allofficial functions of the Institute of a certain braid-likesubstance of brilliant hue, commonly known as redtape, but in view of divers rumors which have recentlycome to his ever-listening ear, the Lounger feels thatit is not altogether an unpardonable offense that heshould have once more chosen this matter as a subjectfor his cogitations. While the substance above referredto has in some departments done much to foster theart of using energetic and forcible expressions inathletic circles, two short pieces of the same, placedat right angles to each other, has ever been highlyprized as a valuable ornament to certain classes ofpopular garments. Now there is at the Institute, as

the Lounger infers from the occasional articles uponathletics, which, at no inconsiderable intervals, appearon the editorial pages of his favorite periodical, a sacredbody of self-sacrificing men upon whose sanction alonesuch prizes are allotted; and this body, judging it onlyfair that the greater reward should belong to the moreworthy worker, long since decided that such officialsas managers of teams should be entitled to a moregenerous share of the tape in question by the addition,to the usual scant supply, of thatem1em of endless,beginningless completeness, the circle. The genialmanager of the Track Team, however, scorning tothus take advantages of his less fortunate friends uponthe team, has, it is said, omitted this portion of hisrightfil due. This fear, it seems, attracted considerableattention in certain quarters, and although the Loungeris as yet unprepared to state whether the letter, whichthe said Advisory Council is preparing for the gentle-man in question upon this matter, will or will not beaccompanied by a medal commemorating his generousaction, he is daily expecting further information uponthe subject.

The Lounger has been greatly interested of late inthe many and varied ideas so elegantly set forth byvarious parties in that column for whose contents andopinions the editors do not hold themselves responsi-ble, most of which ideas have grown directly fromthe Lounger's own modest opinions in regard to theclose imitation by the Freshman (to quote from oneyoung correspondent) of the methods and exampleof the Faculty and Corporation. That his proltgesshould thus have been led astray by the wily mem-bers of the aforesaid bodies, to lend themselves tosuch a scheme for alluring the poor innocent membersof the various prep. and high schools, from whichthey themselves so recently came, into the clutches ofthe Secretary and the Bursar, or the by no means lessawful, if, however, the less lasting, dominion of De-scrip. and Tommy P , by holding forth to thementicing ideas of uniforms and brass buttons, seemsto the Lounger sad in the extreme, but, consideringthe extreme a tiny circumstance, he can find no heartto blame them; consequently he has decided todismiss all further talk upon the matter with the sim-ple injunction that in future they be wary of follow-ing in the evil ways of Faculty and Corporation, butrather cling fast to the guiding precepts of theLounger.
