i 5 RUMOR of substan--i ~tial import has for the

;&- gpast several days

been given credenceby the majority of menat Technology to theeffect that a short

/]~ t~ ~ ,. E recess will be grantedby the Faculty dur-ing J u n i or week.Time has only served

Jih/1 .~to make the report{[~ -· " more definite and to

develop the plans which have been advanced.Too much can scarcely be said in commenda-tion of this interest which has found such asatisfactory outcome in an official recognitionof the undertakings of the gala week in April.From the very first the members of the lan-guage departments have co-operated in anenthusiastic manner in the production of theFrench and German plays by L'Avenir and

Der Deutsche Verein; the ArchitecturalSociety exhibit has maintained constantly anintimate relation with the work of Course IV.;the Annual Spring Concert of the Musicalorganizations, and the Junior Prom., whilein the past eliciting but slight response fromthe corps of instructors, will no doubt thisyear prove their attractiveness to a muchgreater extent than heretofore. The Photo-graphic exhibits have also, to a large entent,been enriched by the work of our instructors.

The recess will be of no slight benefit to thestudent body in that it will furnish an oppor-tunity for a relaxation in the work of a long,and in many ways, a difficult term; a termwhich has ever before been unrelieved by Fac-ulty provision, except it be, possibly, Februarytwenty-second, and, during the past twoyears, April nineteenth. The precedent es-tablished in granting a Christmas recess hascertainly proved itself not merely an accept-able innovation, but one of value as well.

It is not for THE TECH, nor for thestudents at large, to dictate the position inthe week *which the recess should occupy.It may be well to suggest, however, in viewof the concentration of events within the firstfew days of Junior week, that Wednesday,Thursday and Friday xvill be very generallyapproved.

Much has been said of late among Tech-nology men concerning the development of atrue college life; much has been said in THETECH to demonstrate its importance as a fac-tor in bringing about that love of Alma Materwhich will, in the future, fulfil well its part bybroadening in every way the realm of ourinstitution as a scientific college; withresources which shall be ample to consum-mate every ideal of its founders of thirtyyears ago.

'THE-I TEgCH-

HE meet of Saturday evening in the Ex-eter-Street Gymnasium far exceeded all

expectation and proved to be one of the mostsuccessful of the indoor contests which haverecently been held under the auspices of ourAthletic Association. Although our own entrylist was by no means a large one, Technologywas victorious in two events in which therecord holders were themselves in competition.

The management should be commended inan especial manner for the snap and energywhich was manifested throughout in conduct-ing the meeting. Much of the success of theaffair was due to the large number of Harvardentries, and the generous attendance of Cam-bridge men, who, together with Technologyrepresentatives, filled the building very com-fortably.

ITH the gathering of Ninety-seven onSaturday evening, the last of the year's

Class Dinners will have been held, and a listof unusually successful affairs completed.Probably during no year in the history ofTechnology have these class undertakingsdemanded such general attention, or beenmade so truly representative. The number ofmen at Ninety-five's dinner last term attestswell to the importance which that eventassumed in the Senior mind, and a record wasestablished which other years will attain onlywith difficulty. Ninety-six followed in Feb-ruary with a large score, and Ninety-eight,although considerably behind Ninety-seven inits first year, has nothing of which to beashamed.

In recalling the almost unexpected showingas Freshmen, Ninety-seven's SophomoreDinner will be awaited with interest. Tomention The Thorndike, and the excellentmenu which it prepared for Ninety-six, willassure the class of all that can be desiredtoward satisfying the inner man: the carewith which the toast list has been made upand all details of the occasion arranged,render a prediction of true success secure. It

simply remains for the class as a whole toprove its appreciation of the efforts of itsofficers by a generous response.

70 XE are pleased to note the readiness andsincerity with which the Boston daily

papers have come forward of late in supportof Technology in her endeavor to obtainthe appropriation lately before the legisla-ture. With one accord these journals havepublished President Walker's reports andarguments, and in nearly every case haveurged, through their editorial columns, theadvisability of the appropriation. The presshas at least realized the intrinsic value ofTechnology to the State of Massachusetts.In so far as the press represents the peo-ple, such unanimity on the question doubtlessexerts-its influence on the Legislature. In theadvent of our success we heartily appreciate theefforts which the several papers of Boston haveadvanced in the interests of Technogy.

HE committee having in charge the JuniorProm. have decided to follow more or

less closely the scheme devised by Ninety-five. In view of the thorough success of theAssembly of last year, it will in all probabilitybe a wise measure to advance along thoselines which, although in a comparatively newundertaking, have proved to be so singularlywell planned. A great deal will be done tomake the occasion one to which Technologymay point with pride as an event of higheststandard. Having secured Pierce Hall, themusic, the supper, the decorations will eachreceive a due share of attention, and everyoutward element will be introduced whichwill appeal to men interested in this prominentfeature of Junior Week. Through the gener-osity of Mrs. Walker, a reception will be givento Promenade guests on the afternoon of thesixteenth, which will not fail to exert its in-fluence in reducing the formalties of the even-ing.

THE TEPCH21

Immediately after the adoption of the pre-liminary plans, invitations will be issued upona scheme of distribution very similar to thatwhich has heretofore been employed. It ishoped that Ninety-six primarily, together withNinety-five and Ninety-seven, will evince anenthusiasm which will make the event whollyrepresentative.

IN the resignation of Mr. John HowlandGardiner from the Board at a recent meet-

ing, Monday, March 4 th, Ninety-five has sev-ered its formal connection with THE TECH.Mr. Gardiner's work has ever been fulfilledwith exactness and regularity, and his loss,coming as it does at this time, will be keenlyfelt.

The Editors do not hold t/emselves restponsible for opin-

ions expressed by correspondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:

The objections made to the arrangement of studiesin Course XI., which were printed in a communicationin your issue of Feb. 7, I895, seem to be unjust andwithout foundation. The object of the training re-ceived in Water Analysis and other kindred subjects isnot to make the student an expert in the work which,of course, would require much more practice than henow receives, but to give him such an acquaintancewith the methods that he may be able to ifitelligentlyinterpret the results of such analyses. The timedevoted to this work seems to be as great as canpossibly be spared from drawing or other engineeringwork. As to taking time from the less professionalsubjects, we may say that the requirements in this lineare the same in all the engineering courses, and anychange would involve serious difficulties. Moreover,these subjects are essential in order to give the broad,general education which students of technical schoolsshould receive.

We believe that the arrangement of the schedule ofstudies in Course XI. is very good, and that the writerof the aforesaid article will, after more thought uponthe subject, conclude that such is the case.

THE TECH.

On March 8th, Mrs. R. H. Richards gave-the second of the series of lectures on Scienceinstruction. Her subject was " Teaching theElements of Science." These lectures areopen to all students at Technology, and acordial invitation to attend is extended bySecretary Tyler.

The Y. M. C. A. will inaugurate its neworganization by a meeting to be held Friday,the 15th, in Room ii, Rogers, at 4.30 P. M.

President Walker will speak, as will alsoLogan H. Roots, of Harvard, and Robt. E.Lewis, State college secretary of the Associa--tion. All men at Technology are urged to bepresent.

The Geological Club met Thursday, March7th, in the Geological Iaboratory. Mr. M. L.Fuller showed specimens of Fossil coal plantsfrom Joggins, Nova Scotia; Prof. Wr. O.Crosby exhibited a series of specimens ofobsidian from the Lipari Islands, and alsocalled attention to a very interesting occurrenceof asphalturn- in Colorado.

Hereafter at drill the First Call will besounded at 2.I5, and the Assembly thirtyseconds thereafter. At the First Call themembers of each company will repair to thecompany drill floor, and hold themselves inreadiness to fall in at the Assembly. Eachcompany will form for roll call and for dis-missal in front of its own gun rack.

Work has been in progress for some timepreparatory to some very interesting testswhich will be made in the laboratory of Ap-plied Mechanics. Tests will be made of thestrengths of girders and of timber headerswhen subjected to the strain of floor joists,and also of the strength of roofing joints, bothwhen secured by rivets and when not. Thesetests will be taken as extra work, although inthe line of the regular tests.

The Department of Architecture has beeninvited to send a representation to act as mem-bers of the next jury for the Customhouse

and Schoolhouse competitors of the Societyof Beaux-Arts Architects of New York. Pro-fessor Despradelle will therefore be presentin New York City on the 25th; for the com-petitors, the Institute will be represented byFaville, Mann, and Thorndike and byBourne, Chamberlain and F. H. Parker.

Last week Captain Bigelow informed thecadets that Mechanics HIall was not availablefor the date set for their competition drill withHarvard, and that April 22d was the onlyevening that they could secure the Hall. Hesuggested that the companies drill on that date,and up to that time drill twice a week until thenumber of prescribed hours had been com-pleted, which would finish the course for theyear. If this could not be done, he willattempt to obtain the armory for some con-venient date.

The Y. M. C. A. now holds its meetingsevery Wednesday, under the new constitution.All men of the Institute are cordially invited toattend. It is the purpose of this organizationto publish, in the near future, a handbook,containing facts pertaining to Technology andto Boston, which will be distributed to asmany as possible of the incoming FreshmanClass. It is also proposed to arrange somesocial event early in the Fall in order to bringthe new men into closer relations with the As-sociation and upper-classmen.

About twenty-five Freshmen, candidates forthe class baseball team, responded to the callfor a meeting in Room 20, Rogers, last Satur-day noon. Manager Twombly addressed themen on the necessity of earnest training. Itwas voted that the team should play twice aweek,-once on Saturday, the second day to bedetermined at the discretion of the manager.Mr. Barber, temporary captain, obtained thenames of those present and the positions forwhich they desired to try. A challenge andinvitation to supper has already been receivedfrom the Brockton High School. -

At a meeting of the Baseball Associationlast Friday in Room I, -Rogers, PresidentLeighton stated very clearly th'e deplorablecondition of the finances of the Associationand, as has been before mentioned in THETECH, suggested the abolishment of baseballat the Institute. It was voted, therefore, tomake no attempt to place a team in the fieldthis spring, and the Executive Committeewas empowered to arrange some schemewhereby the standing debt might be paid.After some few remarks and suggestions inregard to the best methods of proceedure inthe matter of raising the necessary funds, bybenefit or subscription, the meeting adjourned.

The Co-operative Society met on Friday,March 8th, for the discussion of plans of workfor the coming year. Mr. Maclachlan, in re-sponse to a request from Chairman Huxley,gave a report on the proposed plan of placingthe different supply rooms throughout the entirecollege in the hands of the Society. He statedthat the plan was a feasible one, and that atleast one scholarship might be secured by thismeans. The Society decided, accordingly,to assume charge of all supply rooms, andplaced Mr. Maclachlan in charge. It is hopedthat the Class of '99 may be brought to makeuse of these rooms more generally than formerclasses have done. President Huxley statedto the Society that new contracts are readyfor immediate distribution to tradesmen, andexpressed the hope that all such contractsmight be closed before April Ist, the begin-ning of the fiscal year of the Society.

The rehearsals of the plays of the DeutscherVerein show that good progress is beingmade. Both plays are being rehearsed twicea week, and the men engaged in them areenthusiastic and are doing creditable work.The Operetta, which is to form the secondpart of the programme, is the Introduction tothe favorite German Opera, "Der Trompetervon Sackingen," and as many as fifty singersare rehearsing for the chorus. The music of

this Opera was composed by T. Nessler andthe fact that it never was printed, has causedthe managers much delay and trouble inobtaining the scores. The music is beingconducted by a person of no less reputationthan Mr. Martin Roeder. The enterprise ofthe Deutscher Verein is a great and difficultone, but the managers are confident that theperformance, which is to take place on the15th of April, the first day in Junior week,will be in all respects successful.

At-the meeting of the Football Associationlast Wednesday, a constitution was reportedand accepted. The only change made by theconstitution over previous custom is the ex-clusion of 'Varsity players from the classteams.. This was considered necessary inthat it will undoubtedly lead to an increasednumber of men in competition for class andcourse teams, and a consequent developmentof further material. Mr. Tillinghast, asManager, made a most successful report, whichwas heartily appreciated; the Treasurer of theAssociation, Mr. Rockwell, rendered thereport of the financial standing at the end ofthe fiscal year, 1894-95, and announced thatthe debt of the previous season had beenreduced by more than two hundred dollars,and that the total liabilities of the Associationat the present time were about fifty dollars.The election of officers for next year resultedas follows: President, H. G. Fisk, '96; VicePresident, R. S. Whiting, '97; Secretary andTreasurer, H. W. Allen, '97. The representa-tives of the classes on the Executive Committeeare B. Hurd, Jr., '96; L. A. Hayden, '97, andG. Ulmer, '98.

The recent meeting of The Walker Clubowes its great success to the kindness of Mr.Woods and Mr. Pearson, who extended acordial invitation to all the members of theclub to visit them at the Andover House,more commonly known as The College Settle-ment, Number 6, Rollins Street. A shortbusiness meeting was held at the beginning of

the evening, and it was decided to hold adebate on "The Norwegian System" at thenext meeting. Messrs. Wood, Sanborn, andGregor were elected honorary members of theclub.

Mr. Woods, the senior member of TheAndover House, responded to a call for aspeech from the presiding officer, and gavethe club a short account of the work and ob-jects of The College Settlement. Mr. Woodsbegan by stating the origin of the idea of acollege settlement, which took place about tenyears ago at Oxford. He said that many ofthe social and business men of the day sawthe need of coming more into touch with thesurroundings and life of the poorer class, or,to speak in the words of Mr. Reis, to find outhow the other half lives.

The Andover House was started in Bostonabout three years ago; Mr. Woods being oneof the originators of the project. The plan ofits work is as follows: Seven enterprisingand intelligent college graduates have es-tablished the house in the very slums of thecity, and throw themselves into contact, so faras possible, with the classes to be found inthese surroundings. One of the members hasfor the past two years expended almost all histime in examining the conditions and mannerin.which seven or eight different families inthe neighborhood live.

Besides an exhibition of paintings during thewinter of '93, and a series of concerts duringthe current season, the college settlement alsosupervises several boys' clubs; there beingabout one hundred and fifty boys connectedwith the different societies which meet at theAndover House. Girls' clubs are also en-couraged; the ladies of Boston lending theirassistance in the management of them.

After Mr. Woods had finished, a light re-past was served to the club by the membersof The Andover House. Singing of collegesongs, accompanied by the piano and banjo,completed an enjoyable and highly instructivemeeting.

The annual business meeting of the AthleticClub will be held next Saturday in Room II,

Rogers, at I2 o'clock. All members of theClub should attend as the election of officersfor the coming year is of extreme importance.

The following circular was distributed lastweek to the students:-

M. I. T. ATHLETIC CLUB.A PRELIMINARY TRAINING PRIZE.

Will be given to the man scoring the highest numberof points in the following handicap events: 35 yards dash;running high jump; Putting I6-lb. shot; 35 yards hurdle;pole vault; potato race.

The above events will be held in the Gymnasium onTuesday and Friday afternoons of each week at 4.I5 IP. M ,sharp. These days subject to change, notice of whichwill be posted in due time in the Gymnasium. Threeevents will probably be held each time.

The handicapping will be done by Capt. Thomas of thetrack athletic team. The entries will be open to all stu-dents of the Institute. Those who desire to compete willplease sign blanks left for the purpose in the Gymnasiumby 6 P. M. of the day Previous to holding events. Noentry fee wvill be charged. First place to count five points,second place three points, third place one point.

The object of holding these intformal meetings is to getthe candidates out for the track team, and to have the menin fair condition by the time out-door training is com-menced.

To retain our position in the N. E. I. A. A. will requirehard, conscientious training oil the part of Technology'sathletes. Every one who has any athletic ability is urgedto come out and try for the team. John Graham will trainthe team this year.

A handsome cup will be given for first prize, and shouldthe number of candidates and interest shown warrant it,a second prize wvill be given.

The first informal meeting will be held Tuesday, March12, and they will continue as stated until further notice.

meet was a great success, and the excellenceof the competitors and closeness of the eventscaused much enthusiasm. Harvard and Tech-nology were best represented both in the en-tries and spectators, while many local athleticclubs contributed a great deal toward the suc-cess of the evening. The events, with oneexception, were run off with a creditable quick-ness, and little time was lost in spite of theinconveniences of the gymnasium.

Harvard, as usual, made an excellent show-ing, and captured the majority of places. Al-though Technology did not have as manyentries as one might have wished, she wontwo events, in each of which the record hold-ers were competing.

The first event of the meet was the 35-yarddash, which was run in eight heats. Of thesixteen places Harvard won thirteen, and wasrepresented by three men in the finals. Thefirst heat of the finals resulted in a tie betweenClark, N. A. A. and Gonterman, H. A. A.,with Jackson a close third. A second heatgave Clark first place by a yard, Gontermansecond, andJackson third. The running highjump was not only a particularly interestingevent, but it was also a great surprise. Stin-gel, the New England champion, gave wayto Paine, of Harvard, at 5.II, and Putnam,also of Harvard, won third. The threestanding broad jumps was the first eventwhich Technology won. E. A. Boeseke leadthe holder of the record, Doherty, by 8 1

inches, with a distance of 32 feet 8- inches.The other competitors were of much inferiorstandard, and the whole struggle was betweenBoeseke and Doherty.

The Technology novice 35-yard dash wasclose, and run in good time. Abbott, '95, andWatrous, '98, showed up best in the trial heats,the latter winning the final. The Freshmenwere very much delighted by their victory,and applauded tumultuously. The 40-yardhurdle race gave Technology another first.Bremer, H. A. A., was considered a surewinner, but in the finals Avery Coonley, '97,

and Ferguson, E. H. S. A. A. passed him inthe order named.

The potato race was as exciting as ever.All the heats were extremely close, and muchinterest was shown in the event. In the finalsCrowley and Clark were set back, but theyeasily passed the other competitors, the for-mer winning in 32-} seconds, the world's recordfor the distance.

THE TECH 225~~~~~~

THE Lounger has been thoroughly disgusted withthe behavior of the present month since the day of itsadvent. March, April, May,-not the times to takeSarsaparilla, but the times which forerun summer, andwhich in themselves form a season whose poeticinfluence no one can escape,-have not thus far givena particularly favorable account of themselves. Whatwith a belated blizzard and rain without end, the gentlepratings about the "modest daisy," the "blushingviolet," "fleecy clouds," and the other favorite themes,must seem somewhat ironical to any one who needs alifeboat in order to get across the street, or a derrickto rescue him from the depths of Boston's famous mud.

Perhaps the Lounger should not, however, be toosevere on the somewhat delinquent harbingers ofSpring, for according to that reliable book, thealmanac, this sweet season commenceth not until thisday week, and not exactly then either, but at someunholy and complicated hour of the morning, figureddown to quarter seconds. To remember that Springbegins on March 2Ist at o hours, i minutes, 13aseconds is, to say the least, wearing on the nerves.Such unnecessary distraction of our brains theLounger has always regarded as something highlyreprehensible, and he could never see why someone might not concoct a more rational and satis-factory calendar. The Lounger wishes to cast noodium upon the inventors of the present dne, forthe late J. Caesar, Esq., and P. Gregory, were bothuseful members of society. However, their calendar,as invented by the former and revised by the latter, isnow of a mature age, and shows no improvement withincreased ripeness. This is why, perhaps, the Loungerhas lately had many Utopian ideas of a new calendarwherein June, July, August and September are givenone hundred days apiece, the remaining days of theyear being left to the months from October to Mayinclusive. This arrangement secures a long summervacation, and should meet with unstinted approval

from college men. A further part of this corprehen-sive scheme provides for an exhilaratingly rapid suc-cession of seasons, the length of summer necessitatingthe crowding of autumn, winter, and spring all intoone day. This may seem a trifle brusque way oftreating these particular seasons, but the exigenciesdemand it. Some difficulties in the way of this schemehave presented t'hemselves, one in particular beingthat the sun will not rise till about 4 P. M. 'This, how-ever, is a mere detail, and should the Lounger everdecide to perfect this calendar and foist it upon anunwilling world, these matters can, doubtless, be ad-justed. However, as he said in the first place, thewhole scheme is purely hypothetical, and may nevercome to realization.

From present indications the publication of theLounger's calendar will succeed by some time theissue of the Ninety-five portfolio, upon which mucheffort is being expended. Few have dared disregardthe imperative summons to sit for their photographsTHIS WEEK, and, indeed, many of the " doubtfuls"have evinced a suspicious eagerness so to do in ad-vance of any possibly disheartening conferences withthe Secretary. Thus far things seem to have beenrunning smoothly, and the Lounger trusts that nosudden fit of shrinking modesty will restrain any ofthe bashful remaining ones from duly facing thecamera as a sort of preparation for their appearancein the Portfolio.

A more important matter which confronts ourSeniors just now is their choice of their class-day officers.Much interest has ever centered. upon this election,and from its importance, it has, in past years, occa-sionally been the scene of actions which if notstrictly dishonest were far from open and above-board. Let Ninety-five remember that on her ClassDay she occupies the most prominent position, in theeyes of the public, which she ever will as an under-graduate body. It is, therefore, fitting that the menwho represent her on that day be men who really dorepresent her. Representation in its strictest sense iswhat the occasion demands, and all it demands. Thelist of candidates is a long one, and the Loungertrusts that in every instance the choice of officers maybe as nearly suitable as is compatible with human frailtyand fallibility. In this case we shall see a worthyclass represented by worthy men, on a worthy day,and what more can one wish ?
