.- S INCE the season of the Glee-. . and Banjo Club concerts is

; almost at an end, we can~ ~~ ' look back upon its year of

l lo work with a great deal of-i~' pride. In other branchesE-EE Sthan those of hard "grind-

; § ~ing," for which our worthyinstitution is so justly famous,

j S I!Technology has been wellpresented to the world. Our

Banjo Club, under the earnest efforts of itsleader, Mr. George Shepard, and of its ableinstructor, Mr. Lansing, has reached a posi-tion above the other colleges. Although theGlee Club has not yet acquired the prom-inence of the Banjo Club, yet both Mr.Schmitz and Mr. Osgood have shown that wecan do well in that direction.

Since the clubs have been put on a firinbasis by the formation of an organization withenergetic officers, we may look forward toeven better results. Owing to the hard times,

making a western tour, but for the comingyear we may anticipate a more or less ex-tended trip through the States. A still largernumber of applicants will undoubtedly appearnext fall, and, encouraged by this season'swork, a successful year may be looked for.

IN the light of the first games which the'Varsity base-ball team has played, the

prospect for the later and perhaps more im-portant work of the season, is not in the leastencouraging. It must be remembered, how-ever, that while there may be a great deal ofexcellent material at Technology, and whileindividual work may be especially strong,nevertheless, time is required to place uponthe field a winning team. It is unfortunatethat so many errors should have been madein the first attempts. The fact that the high-est interest in the matter has not as yet beendeveloped, and that, perhaps, the best of judg-ment was not employed in making up theteam, has no doubt been a primary cause. Itis doubly important that competition for placeson the teamn should be heartily entered into,and that strenuous exertion should be madeby every man who has ability in this direc-tion. Then Technology as a whole will wellsupport its representative, and a successfulseason will surely result.

T has once more become necessary to callthe attention of the students to the proper

use of the Course IX. library. For some timepast, not a little annoyance has been causedto those who have the rightful use of thelibrary, by men who employ the room as ageneral place of meeting, and for prepar-ing mathematics and other similar subjects.

There has certainly been ample provisionmade in the lower general reading room andin the drawing rooms for all such outsidework; no excuse, therefore, can be made forthus violating the comfort and right of others.Moreover, the space which has been reservedespecially for men in Course IX., should inall cases be unmolested, inasmuch as the largeamount of reading necessary in the work ofthat course, renders suitable opportunity forit imperative. In the future greater careshould be taken in this matter by those whohave been at fault, and all who use the library,either for reading or for taking out books,would do well to keep this in mind.

T seems to be a matter of general complaintamong Course VI. men that the periodicals

in the Physical Department are not kept ongeneral file in the Electrical Library. Atpresent these journals are kept in the office ofroom io, Walker, and their whereabouts areknown to practically none beside the Seniors,while even these feel that to go into the officeto consult them is bordering on intrusion.The file is so complete, and of such importanceto the whole course, that it would certainlyseem proper to keep the periodicals in a moreaccessible place.

HE speech of Professor Dippold upon thework and purposes of the Deutscher

Verein, which appeared in the last number ofTHE TE.CH, should at once put a stop to thealleged feelings of opposition between theFrench and German Societies. These soci-eties have so much in common, and the suc-cess of each is so much to be desired, that notthe slightest doubt as to their friendly relationsshould be allowed to remain. The words ofProfessor Dippold state clearly the aims of theDepartment of Modern Languages, and itsdesire to support all such enterprises of thestudents. THE TECH joins in wishing the so-cieties every success.

HE list of theses, as it has appeared fromweek to week, shows in the most con-

clusive manner the work and methods of theInstitute. Without upholding the principle ofgranting a degree for the large part on theefficiency shown by students in original thesiswork, it may still be said that in no other wayis the practical preparation of Technologygraduates made more evident. To the grad-uates themselves the list will be one to bevalued as indicating the work of fellow stu-dents. The list is at once thorough, and rep-resentative of the different courses, and toundergraduates especially must be valuable assuggesting the nature and the amount ofwork to be required of them.

F-RENCHMEN are noted for the zeal andenthusiasm which they show in all

their undertakings. The members of L'Ave-nir would do well to imitate in this respectthe people whose language they are trying tocultivate. Now that the plays are over, littleinterest is shown in the society, and only afew members come to its meetings. Theprimary object of the society,-to improvethe French of its members and give them op-portunties to speak it, is being neglected.The production of a play is certainly a goodway of doing this, but plays cannot be givencontinually, and between times the societyshould not be allowed to die out. It seems apity that a society which showed so much en-ergy at the start should be allowed to sink in-to oblivion after its first success; such willbe the case unless more interest is shown.Every student who speaks French should jointhe society and attend the meetings, then weneed have no fear about its future.

T is certainly a matter of regret that moreenergy has not been displayed among the ar-

tistic men of Technology in submitting furtherdesigns for a gold Tech pin. As the designs

THE TEC7CH1

handed in during the first competition werefound to be below the requirements, the com-petition was necessarily reopened, but sincethis was done no new designs have been sub-mitted. It cannot be that all the fertility ofTechnology's resources was expended in thefifty or so designs at first submitted; nor is itlikely that there exists so great a discourage-ment from the rejection of previous designs asto deter the men from making new ones. Alittle more readiness to enter into the spirit ofthe matter, and a little less apathy amongTechnology's clever men, would suffice tomake a successful competition and produce apin worthy of the Institute.

HE action of the Junior class in appoint-ing a committee to investigate the methods

adopted for commencement exercises, and thebtst means for the nomination of Class Dayofficers, is certainly to be commended. Withplenty of time to look into the matter, thiscommittee will be able to suggest in its re-por-t many improvements in both cases. Thecommittee will now take an especial interestin the graduation exercises of Ninety-Four,and many small defects can be rectified,which in the lapse of time would otherwise beforgotten. Little class work is being done atpresent, and we are glad to see that Ninety-Five has brought up so worthy a plan.

At a recent meeting of THE T:ECH board, itwas decided that an extra Class Day numbershould be issued as in previous years, but thatthe board of editors should take charge ofthe publication rather than members of theSenior Class.

Through the kindness of Mr. Carter, Su-perintendent of Streets of Boston, the studentsof fourth year, Course I., have obtained theuse of the city tugboat to visit the pumpingstation at Dorchester, and the discharge outletat Moon Island.

Men who desire to prepare mathematics,and other similar subjects, should rememberthat hereafter the Course IX. library cannotbe used for such purposes, but that the gen-eral reading room on the first floor of Rogersis assigned especially for such work.

Mr. Harry Clifford, of the Physics depart-ment, gave a stereopticon lecture to the CivilEngineering Society on "Comets and Neb-ul," lastTuesday evening. He discussed theposition, shape, and paths of comets, and ex-plained the effect of planets upon them.

The Appalachian Mountain Club held itsregular meeting in II Rogers on April IIth.Mr. J. Henry Blake gave a somewhat longaccount of a two weeks' sojourn in the Straitsof Magellan, and Mr. A. W. Grabau pre-sented a paper, entitled "The Gorges of theGenesee River."

Owing to the impossibility of varying theslope of the conical slime table, the MiningDepartment has added to its washing appara-tus a Cornish washing frame, which can beused at any slope for experimental purposes;heads, tailings, and middlings are drawn offseparately by means of a tilting tail.

At the intermediate examination in Second-year Physics in Huntington Hall last weekWednesday, a large number of men wereunable to see the questions which had beenposted on the board at the firont of the hall, afact which may account for certain errors inregard to the questions on the papers.

Mr. H. S. Duckworth, Course V., seemsto be extremely unfortunate in his thesis workupon the " Conversion of Starch to Dextrine,by means of a rotary roaster." The powerhas been shut off several times without duenotice, thus destroying his entire products.Thesis work certainly deserves better treat-ment than this.

Professor Cr-ss (previous to a lecture tothe Seniors): "Gentlemen, I shall requestyou not to carry away any more soap fromthe laboratory."

(During the lecture). "These wave platesare not mine, gentlemen; I've had them fiveyears though, and shall likely have them thatmuch longer." (Cheers).

The regular meeting of L'Avenir was heldon Wednesday, i th, in Room 23, W. W. R.Hill, '94, gave an interesting account of Guyde Maupassant, the young French author, whodied a year ago. R. Norris, '96, spoke onAthletics in France and Belguim, and F. E.Matthes, '95, on Coasting in the Alps. A. T.Hopkins, '97, and F. Kleinschmidt, '95, wereelected members of the society.

The captain of the athletic team has a greatdeal of hard work ahead, but this may be re-duced to a minimum by having all who haveany athletic ability whatever turn out and doregular training. Let all those who are afraidthat it would take too much time, rememberthat the daily work need only take forty-fiveminutes, or at most an hour. Also, that thissmall amount of regular exercise is the kindwhich is the most beneficial.

Our Glee and Banjo Clubs entertained themembers of the Colonial Club, of Cambridge,with a concert on Saturday evening, April7th. Following the concert was a suppergiven to the clubs, after which they were ex-tended the use of the clubrooms. Someamused themselves in the pool and billiardroom, while others bowled.

There were less than a dozen Tech menwitnessing the Tufts-M. I. T. ball game. Tobe sure the day was rainy, yet this support ofa 'Varsity baseball team is most discouragingto say the least. There are few games playedat home, and every one who is able shouldattend them.

Second, third, and fourth year men havereceived an invitation to join a summer schoolof mining, to be held about June Ist to July7th, at Capleton, P. Q. The party will campout in tents, and will divide its time betweenmethods of mining and of ore dressing, bothon and below the surface, and mine and sur-face surveying. In all of these branches, themen will have ample opportunities for practi-cal work, and an enjoyable and profitable fiveweeks' sojourn is assured.

The home game for April iith, with Tufts,was played on the South End Grounds in adriving sleet. Both nines played slowly andloosely, yet there was a marked improvementin the team work of Tech over the previousgame. The game was stopped at the end ofthe fifth inning, with the score 8 to 3 in favorof Tufts. The following is the score by in-nings :

The regular monthly meeting of K2S washeld Wednesday night, April ii, at theThorndike. Among those present were Pro-fessors Richards, Niles, and Pope, Dr. Talbotand Messrs. Davenport, Whitney, Smith andBardwell. Professor Richards spoke of thework being done at Jamaica Pond, and Pro-fessor Niles related an experience of his in theJura Mountains. Papers were read by Mr.Parker on "Corrundum," and by Mr. Mooreon "Spectral Analysis."

On Tuesday, the class of '95, held a fairlywell attended meeting. After the reading ofthe minutes, the minutes of the ExecutiveCommittee for the past few months were read.Resolutions of thanks were then passed bythe class for the work of the Board of Editorsof '95's " Technique," fobr the committee incharge of the Junior Assembly, and to THETECH for their special Junior Edition. Itwas then proposed to elect a committeeto investigate the various methods for classday exercises and for nominating classofficers. The power to elect this committeewas put into the hands of the Executive Conm-mittee.

Life members of the Athletic Club whohave not received their "shingles," shouldnotify J. P. Ilsley, Jr., Secretary of the M. I.T. A. C., at once.

Test of the Engines of the H. M. Whitney.

IN the Mechanical Department, theses whichinvolve outside testing are always looked up-on with favor, at least by the students; andwhen the work necessitates a week's trip ona steamer, as did one thesis this year, those towhom the work falls are objects of envy, andeven the instructors unbend and express a de-cided willingness to be detailed in charge ofthe tests.

The H. M. Whitney is a fine steamer, be-longing to the Metropolitan Line betweenBoston and New York. She is built of iron,about 280 feet long, and has triple expansionengines, the cylinders having diameters of28", 45", and 74", and a stroke of 48". Theengines are fitted with the Marshall valve gear,which gives them more than ordinary interestin the eyes of the engineer.

Messrs. Savage and Robbins, of '94, weregiven an opportunity to test the engines of theWhitney, and after the necessary piping wascompleted, a party, headed by Professor Pea-body, sailed from Boston on the afternoon ofMarch 26th to carry out the work.

In crossing Massachusetts Bay, a somewhatheavy sea caused a feeling of uneasiness inthe minds (?) of one or two of the party, butafter Cape Cod was rounded the rolling ceased,and the work was started in good earnest. Itwas soon found, however, that one of the in-dicators was sticking badly, and after severalineffectual attempts to set it right, a memberof the party was sent in search of a "puttingon tool," the assistant having the indicator say-ing that he thought that might remedy thedifficulty. After a protracted hunt, the saidmember returned, to announce that all the"putting on" tools belonging to the ship hadbeen lost overboard, and as in the meantimethe feed-pump had given some trouble, it wasdecided to attempt no more testing that night.

Early the next morning the party was awak-ened by a loud noise, at first attributed to theLong Island Sound, but soon found to be thebreakfast bell, and after attending to the wantsof the inner man, another test of two hour'sduration was run, which was in every waysuccessful, and shortly after noon the steamerarrived in New York. As a stay of two dayswas to be made here, the party started out to"see the town."

The return trip was uneventful. Two testswere run, both being highly successful, andafter a fine sail up Boston Bay, the steamerarrived home at 1.30 P M. on March 3oth.Everyone voted that it had been the best tripthey had had for a long time, and with heartygood-byes for Captain Hallett and Chief En-gineer Snowman, they came ashore.

Do you know that your eyes, with their brightness,And your cheeks which outrival the rose,

With those lips, like a cluster of rubies,Beneath that fair aquiline nose,

That your hair, with its dark, flowing ringlets,-In fact that your whole charming self

Now reminds me so much of the hingesWhich one finds, in the shops, on the shelf?

But my love has growvn sad at such rudeness,And her pardon I haste to implore,

While I try to explain that 'tis simplyShe is something one needs to a-dore.

The M. I. T. A. C. Class ChampionshipSpring games will be held on Holmes Field,Cambridge, May iith, at 2 P. M.

The Sophomore-Freshman baseball gamewill be played on the South End groundsSaturday afternoon, May 5th.

Ninety-Six will play few games this sea-son, as most of her players are on the 'Var-sity.

Entries close for the New England Inter-collegiate games on May I3th.

Hereafter, Harvard men will not be allowedto represent the B. A. A. in any games inwhich the college has made entries.

Dr. Sargent, of the Hemenway gymna-sium, has invented a game which he calls"Battle Ball." It was designed to give exer-cise to the average athlete, and combines base-ball, football, and tennis. The game can beplayed indoors or outdoors, and by any num-ber.

The annual games in athletics betweenOxford and Cambridge took place at theQueen's Club, Kensington, and were attendedby over ten thousand people. Oxford wonsix out of nine events.

Ely, who was the most promising candidatefor pitcher, has left the Institute. Of theother candidates Baker and Putnam are doingthe best work for the Freshman nine.

An elaborate, solid silver cup has beenpresented to the New England IntercollegiateAthletic Association by Wright & Ditson.The cup is to be competed for at the annualgames, and is the property of each winnerfor the following y ear only.

Harvard has at last been granted the date ofMay 5 for open handicap games. The St.Mary's A. A., which was granted the date hasgracefully yielded to Harvard. The eventsare announced as follows:-

ioo-yard dash (7 yards limnit).220-yard dash (15 yards limit).440-yard run (30 yards limit).SSo-yard run (So yards limit).One-mile run (ioo yards limit).One-mile walk (30 seconds limnit).I20o-yard hurdle (8 yards penalty limit).22o0-yard hurdle (12 yards penalty limit).Running high jump (8 inches limit).Running broad jump (2 feet 8 inches limit).Pole vault (iS inches limit).Throwing I6-lb. hammer (no limit).Putting i6-lb. shot (6 feet limit).One-mnile bicycle race (ico yards limit).Two-mile bicycle race (2co0 yards limnit).

The recent snow greatly interfered with thetraining of the Track T'eam.

The Irvington Oval has been put into con-dition. The new coat of cinders has madethe track one of the fastest in this vicinity.

R. W. Swift has developed into a veryspeedy and natural hurdler.

The B. A. A. games of yesterday werevery good, considering the few dclays the par-ticipants had to train in.

The B. A. A. will hold a second set ofhandicap games about the middle of May.

The Yale and Harvard track athletic teamswill hold their dual meet at New Haven, MayI4th.

The interclass championship games atHarvard will take place on Monday, April23. The chief interest in this meeting centersin the contest for the Wells Cup which isawarded to the class scoring the most points.

On Saturday, Apr-il 30, the 'Varsity scratchgames of Harvard will be held, and as usualthe events will be the same as at the inter-collegiate games.

Although Burnett pitched with a lame armlast Wednesday, Tufts could make only a fewhits. Coach Sullivan has taught him a slowball which is very deceiving.

TEIB TECH.

Aiou'r this season the sober president of the Seniorsreceives the annual circular from enterprising manu-facturers, advocating such paraphernalia as caps andgowns during the scenes of Class D)ay. That Tech,wvithout dormitory or campus, is not the place for capand gown has often been urged, though their indul-gence during the festive night of the political cam-paign wvas, without question, an unqualified success.It must be confessed, however, that the lordly person-age of the Tech Senior in all the glory of graduationwould lose much of his lofty dignity were he to strivewith refractory skirts and wind-catching mortar boardin the full view of the merry motor man of BoylstonStreet. No wonder shrinking modesty causes eachsuccessive class to reject the polite overtures of thesartorial expert, and, therefore, till Technology canboast a quadrangle, shady walks, and a chapel of morevirtue than fame, the cap and gown had best be re-legated to the more secluded college.

The recent utterance of the Institute Oracle regard-ing scholarship applications, can but awaken surpriseamong his devout and awe-inspired followers. Seldom,indeed, are his Delphic words couched in phraseswhich admit the slightest quibble or question. Thosewho approach the fountain head in search of wisdom,or more or less frequently repair thither for petitioninterviews, are, without exception, impressed with theflow of measured syllables. The trelmbling petitionerwho approaches the sybil guardians with whisperedquestions regarding the presence of the great ex-pounder of the Institute, knows full well the frigid,well turned expressions of the inmate of the innerregions when once admission is gained. The silentmoments which elapse while he anxiously rests uponthe cozy, cushioned settee which nestles beside thebursar's lair, ere audience is granted, are well calcu-lated to prepare him for the ordeal to come. Howhis carefully prepared reasons vanish in emptiness

before the penetrating gaze which greets him, and howhie is suavely persuaded that his requests are an utterabsurdity ! A certain amount of awe in the tremblingapplicant for royal favors is of course to be expected,b)ut the Lounger really doubts whether even theChesterfieldian guardian of the tabular view wouldwish it to be carried to a degree of subservienceapproaching a weak-kneed timidity which wouldnecessitate their being borne in prostrate. Yet ifworshippers at the Pythian shrine are not to be sotreated the Lounger is at loss to knowv why "Appli-cants" should be " handed in at once."

The little triangle with its hieroglyphic charactershas secured another lease of life since no one hasdesigned a gold pin sufficiently less bad to replace it,and MIabel or Mollie or May and other fair maids wvhoare loyal to Technology and her numerous solns, cannot wear the charming pin promised so long ago.Even the carefully concocted decision of the Institutecommittee and their more artistic appeal have failedto cause a rush of designs to the pin committee, nowthat merit and not dollars is declared sufficient reward.What seems even more discouraging is the nonchalantindifference of those who previously handed in designisin calling for them at the 'lECH office and thus savingthese precious bits of the antique from what will soon betheir final resting place in the depths of the Lounger'swaste basket. The unique collection which has bur-denedl the Lounger's table contains many wonderfuland instructive specimens. Of these, just fifty-sevenand three sevenths per cent are designs of flags, andthe scroll and lamp of learning claim second rank.Following these in the order named are banners, shields,triangles, lanterns, T squares and instruments, ham-mers, anvils, moons, stars, ribbons, and cogwheels.These creations evidently endeavored to representTechnology as a combination of weather bureau, draw-ing room and blacksmith forge. Often the designs aremade mlore interesting to the beholder by explanatorynotes such as "This design can be slightly changed ifnecessary," "It might possibly be well to make the openspace a little larger," "Don't go back on the oldtriangle," or this from a man with a keen eye to busi-ness, "Can be made of fourteen karat gold of sub-stantial thickness for one dollar and seventy ninecents." This olla podi-ida of discarded effort fur-nished much beneficial recreation to the Lounger, andhe trusts that these few words will serve to ensurethe pin committee a veritable inundation of designsof more worthy merit.

A PASSING SPIRIT.

()Oe night nmy harp sang strangely, sadly sweetIn low, soft, mournful cadence thrilled and thrilled;

With all a heart's dull sorrowing repleteIt throbbed, and then its moaning song was stilled.

That night my dear love died. Ah! who can say?Might she not come in ghostly wanderings?

Mayhap her grieving spirit passed that way,And breathed its loving sorrow o'er the strings.

Yes, I believed her then, and soI laughed in self-conceit, althoughMy rival's love in words galore,

I-le told my Nell

In hapless anger, I deploreMy trust in Nell, for all is o'er.My rival won; I was too slow.H-e dealt my love a deadly blow,Then in a manner, I allow,

Five, and six, and seven, she loves;Eight, they both !" she cried;

And here's a little withered one:Oh! That's a kiss beside!

"Nine, he comes; ten, he tarries !"There was just a segment more;

She opened it in eager haste:A wvorm wvas there before!

"There ought to be just two more seeds;He courts, and twelve, he marries;

But all because of a naughty wormHe only ' comes and tarries."'

Ah, pretty, thoughtless maiden fair !That thou must soon find too,

Life's most cherished apples redWorm eaten through and through.

The lover comes and tarries on;Dame fortune smiles her part,

And false the one, and fickle both;The worm eats in the heart.
