Entered in Post Office, Boston, Mass., as Second Class Matter.

UR attention has beencalled to the needs ofthe gymnasium. Therequired apparatus doesnot seem to appear, andthe necessary repairs arenot made. The supplyof money seems to beexhausted, as the Gym-nasium director finds itdifficult to obtain funds

from the Bursar, often being delayed fordays because there is no money. Severalyears ago this lack of sufficient funds forthe gymnasium was realized as much asto-day. For the convenience of the students,lockers were put in the gymnasium, and anominal sum was charged for them in orderthereafter to meet the running expenses of thebuilding. It now appears that the revenuederived from the lockers is turned into theInstitute treasury, and the gymnasium is dis-

regarded. It seems that if the entire manage-ment were left to Mr. Boos, the gymnasiumwould provide wholly, or at least, mostly, foritself, the needs of the students would beattended to, and this disagreeable and con-tinual dunning on the part of the PhysicalDirector and the officers of the Athletic Club,for the interests of the students, would beended.

AST Friday evening thirteen men weresent to a football training table. This

marks a progress of which every Technologyman will approve. Although the matter hasbeen broached for a long series of years, ithas existed merely as a possibility only capableof achievement in an indefinite future. Weare glad that such active measures have beentaken by Mr. Tillinghast, and we feel that along stride has been made .in the right direc-tion. If Technology is to enter into athleticsat all, if football is to be of more importancethan it has been in the past, it is necessarythat every means be undertaken to place ateam upon the field which shall be less variablein its play, at least well trained, and, ifpossible, well coached. The training tablewill be an important factor; the coach is afeature which will be evolved in the future.

It is not expected that the training table,established so late in the season, will producea marked influence upon the remaining gamesof the year, but it is an innovation which, it ishoped, will become a fixture.

ACH year has so added to the number ofmen taking the chemical courses, that even

the large analytical laboratories of WalkerBuilding are to-day more than crowded. Dur-ing the past summer, in view of the large

36 AiTHES TECH

incoming Freshman class aid the number ofSophomores taking second year analyticalwork, it became necessary to halve a propor-tion of the lockers, which were none too largefor comfortable working. The result is onewhich could be readily foreseen a lack ofdesk room, and, what is more important, aninsufficient space for numerous solutions re-quired, not to mention the extra apparatus.

The fact is encouraging from the standpointof growth; but we are straightway brought tothe inquiry, How is more room to be obtained,unless very important aid is given to Tech-nology through her supporters? As an unen-dowed institution, the uncertainty of fundsmust ever cause not a little anxiety in theheads of the several courses. It is to behoped that with further growth, and a fastincreasing interest on the part of our alumni,subscriptions to establish an endowment fundfor Technology will be rapidly forthcoming.

E publish this week for reference a shortaccount of the work of the Summer

School of Civil Engineering, held at AugurLake, in the Adirondacks, last June. It willgive to those unacquainted a definite idea ofthe thoroughness in the work of one of Tech-nology's Summer Schools.

E are glad to note the increasing enthu-siasm of the Freshmen over their course

in military science and tactics. Captain Big-elow now publishes his lectures in printedform for the use of the members of the bat-talion, and the series, when completed, willbe a comprehensive treatise on the rudimentsof the art of war. The popularity of theCaptain's lectures is well attested by the factthat many of the upper classmen attend themregularly.

(fj E have seen a letter from Mr. Walter H.Kilham, written to a friend in the Archi-

tectural Department, and in another column

we have been kindly allowed to print extractsfrom it which seemed to us of interest. Mr.Kilham graduated from the Architectural De-partment in i889, and was instructor thereduring two years. After two years of officework he won the Rotch Scholarship. Theholder of this scholarship is allowed one thou-sand dollars yearly for two years, his time tobe spent in foreign study. Mr. Kilham's lettershows how well he is appreciating his advan-tages, and into what attractive fields the studyof architecture leads one.

LL that remains of the splendid exhibi-tion of the Department of Architecture

which was held at the close of last term, isthe catalogue published by the ArchitecturalSociety. This pamphlet, of some ninetypages, is profusely illustrated with half-tonesof the best designs of the past two years. Ithas been the custom of the ArchitecturalSociety to co-operate with the students of theCourse in the publication of this catalogueand in the arrangement of the drawings anddesigns; but as no financial backing couldbe secured outside of the Society last spring,it was decided by the Society to publishthe catalogue in its own name. How wellit accomplished its task may be seen fromthe pamphlet referred to. It compares favor-ably with any catalogue of its kind, and asidefrom the artistic merit of its compilation itshows to those into whose hands it may fall,the high standard of work required of thestudents.

HE TECH desires to say that it em-phatically reiterates all the statements

made in its columns two weeks ago, aproposof the Senior election. Further than this, itdeclines to accoyd any answer to the followingcommunication.

(OMMU1NIGAITIONS.

The Editors do not /hold themselves reslonsible for opin-ions expbresscd by correspondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:-

THERE recently appeared ill your columns articlesso entirely at variance with the policy of the paper,so bitterly personal in their character, and so whollyunwarranted, that they must not remain unanswered.

The Class of '95 came to its senior election throughmany and varied experiences in similar affairs, with atrue sense of its responsibility, and a just pride in itsoft demonstrated independence and good judgment.The men who stood before it were well and personallyknown to nearly every member of the class. Thechoice in most instances was so overwhelming andunmistakable as to leave no doubt that the menelected were the true and spontaneous choices of theirclassmates.

But these articles, so evidently prejudiced in theirtone, would not perhaps have demanded a reply hadthey not contained bitter attacks upon an hlonoredand worthy member of the class. This man, person-ally named in your articles, merely' supported thosewhom he deemed best fitted for their respective officeswith a heartiness which is not only the privilege, butthe duty, of every one who has the true class spirit; hedid not "arrange a ticket," or prepare any other deep-laid schemes for his election; and it is a shamefulinjustice to him, an insult to the officers elected, andto every senior to say that hlie did or could.

In view of these facts, and they are undeniable, itwould seem only proper and fair that THFE TECH

should make a retraction of its wholly vindictive andunjust editorial.

Extracts from Mr. Kilham's letter are given

below:

TO-NIGHT I am tucked away in this out-of-the-waycorner of Brittany, under the wall of that splendidchateau which you know of, and I will try to answeryour letter. You ask where I have been. In a generalway I went from England to Paris, and left there theist of last October for Italy via the south of Franceand the Riviera. I did the towns along the way andNimes, Arles, and all that lot, and was in Italy, Sicilyand Greece from the 2 5th of October to the 5thof May. I wvent to most of the places of anyimportance, although I can't say I exhausted the richesof those countries, for that would take a lifetime. Ihad six weeks in Florence, six in Rome, and four inVenice, ten days at Siena, five at Bologna, and so on.Sicily was delightful, Greek temples rising out ofalmond orchards, and Saracenic and Spanish Gothic

things surrounded by oranges and lemon trees in fullbloom. We sailed from Catania for Pierus in Feb-ruary on an Italian steamer, and had a delightfulvoyage. In Greece I went to Athens, Corinth, My-cenae, Tirynls and Argos, and also Patrus and Corfu;the latter was great. I returned to Paris the ioth ofMay and stayed there some time. I made a triparound the northern cathedrals, which was verysatisfactory, returned to Paris, and started June 2 5thfor the round of Normandy, Brittany, and Touraine.I shall then work south to go to Spain in Septemberand October. Next winter I propose to spend inParis making envzois, and in the spring, if possible, see-something of the Netherlands and Germany.

For the last two weeks I have been in our old.stamping ground, or rather a little south of it, Lisieux,.Caen, etc. I must say that it is disappointing onsecond sight. The glamour of the merely picturesque,half-timber stuff and Francis I.'s work is gone, andnow it seems coarse and half savage after the splendidwork in Italy and Greece. However, it takes every-thing to make up a world, and one may as well see itall.

I shall spend next winter at Paris, as the oppor-tunity for study is greater there, but there is a strongtemptation to go back to Italy, where I firmlybelieve there is more good stuff to the square footthan there is to the square mile anywhere else. Inever was so captivated by any place as I was by-Florence, the city of flowers. For swell architecture.beautiful gardens, lovely surroundings and nice peo-ple, it takes the entire cake.

I measured the Pandolfini Palace and Palazzo.Vecchio while there. The lnktcr was a tower threehundred and eight feet high, and I have the whole-of it.

- .is in Paris trying for the Beaux Arts, poor-soul. I saw several of their exhibitions, and asidefrom the good rendering of a few drawings, I think.we have little to learn from them. The architecturalexhibition at the salon was magnificent, however, andbeat anything I ever saw in the States.

I went to Mt. St. Michel and liked it, but there isa place called Le Puy, in the south, where I went last.fall, which is something on the same order, and for aswell layout it knocks Mt. St. Michel out of sight. It-is insufficiently illustrated, I think, in the DictiolnnaireRaisonn.6, but I have some thoughts of workingaround there when I come back from Spain, and.measuring it up for a- big envoi.

Summer School of the Civil EngineeringDepartment.

THE Adirondack region near Keeseville,N. Y., was again this year, during themonth of June, the scene of work of the Sum-mer School of the Civil Engineering Depart-ment. Eighteen students took part, the workbeing conducted by Profissor Burton andProfessor Porter. The plane table survey ofthe region, which had been begun last year,was extended over one thousand six hundredacres. In base-line measurements, experi-ments were made this year in using the brasstape in conjunction with the steel tape. Be-sides the practice work during the day, meas-urements were made for the first time duringthe night, thus gaining the most uniform at-mospheric conditions obtainable. The result ofthe measurements with the steel tape showeda probable error of one part in seven hundredand fifty thousand, bringing the standard ofthe work on a par with that of the MississippiRiver Commission and the U. S. Coast andGeodetic Survey. This year, for the firsttime, work was done with the Precise Level,a line of levels being run along the banksof the Ausable River to determine its averagefall.

June I6th, the members of the summerschool spent the day in the Au Sable Chasm,and all were much interested in the geologi-cal features of the chasm, its wonderfulpotholes, fossil ripple marks, and cascades.The same day a pulp mill in Keeseville wasvisited, and the process and machinery ex-plained by Professor Porter.

Excellent opportunities were given thoseinterested in geology to make excursions topoints of interest, and to obtain an abundanceof fossils and specimens. The last of theseexcursions took place June 2 4 th, when aparty went to visit an iron mine in Clinton-ville, and had a chance to descend into theinterior of the mine.

Although the work during the day requiredconsiderable attention and exertion on the

part of both instructors and students, therewas ample time for recreation. Supper waspreceded by a swim in Augur Lake andfollowed by tennis till dark, then by bowlingor music in the hotel parlors. Keesevilleoffered variety in the form of band concertsand society, and notably by a dance offeredby the young ladies of the town, and a base-ball game with the Keeseville nine, resultingin favor of the Technology men, who, afterthe game, filled the town with M. I. T.yells.

The work of the school was accomplishedthroughout in a most satisfactory manner,and reflects much credit on both instructorsand students.

The Architectural Society Bohemian Supper.

THE first Bohemian Supper of the Architect-ural Society for this season was held lastSaturday evening at Mieusset's, No. I VanRensselaer Place. Twenty-three members ofthe society were present, and, although theroom was none too large to hold the noisygathering, the supper was certainly as success-ful as any held last year. J. H. Parker waspresented with the piano, and he proceededto 6 "rip out the strings," but in such a delightfulmanner that he was forgiven the offense. Hisinterpretations of the Bijou, Faust, and Car-mine, with the able accompaniment of thestreet violinist, were enjoyed by all. Mieus-set's table d'h6te was served, the intermissionsbeing filled with able songs and stories. Theoperation of appeasing an architect's appetitewas at last accomplished, and the guests, tiltedback in their chairs and with London strawsin their mouths, proceeded to enjoy a mostentertaining spontaneous programme. E. J.Loring and A. E. Zaff rendered popular airsin various lights and shading, and J. H. Par-ker's impersonations and songs were taking.A proposition was launched by C. A. Mac-Clure, '94, for the union of the members ofthe society who have left Technology, and

are in business in and around Boston, with theactive members. It is proposed to effect thisunion, and to give a grand Bohemian supperbetween Thanksgiving and Christmas,-sucha feast as only Architects dream of. H. E.Davis, '94, spoke to some extent on the BeauxArt, and a general conversation on foreigntravel and study ensued. At this point Mr.E. B. Bird, the well-known illustrator,dropped in, and gave the guests many pointson drawing for publication. Shortly after-wards the supper was declared over, and witha pipe poking its head from each pocket, themembers sought the nearest way home.

Williams, I2; Technology, o.

IN torrents of rain and wading in mud ankledeep, Technology met Williams on WestonField last Wednesday in what otherwise mighthave been the most interesting game of theseason. It was impossible to do any teamwork on account of the slippery condition ofthe field, and but few star individual playswere made.

Williams kicked off. Thomas caught theball and made thirty yards before beingdowned. Technology, after trying both ends,was forced to punt. Mather and Fred Drapermade short gains through left guard and tackle.Williams losing the ball on a fumble, Tech-nology made eighteen yards through lefttackle and center. Ogilvie, getting the ballon Technology's 25-yard line, together withthe help of Fred Draper and Mather, madesteady gains, and Taylor slipped over the linefor a touchdown, Fred Draper kicked thegoal. Score, 6-o.

Phil. Draper, catching the ball from thekick off, made twenty-five yards, but Williamswas forced to punt on three downs. Tech-nology lost the ball. Williams was held forthree downs. Phil. Draper fell back for akick, but on receiving the ball dashed aroundthe end, and by a brilliant run of eighty-fiveyards made a touchdown. He was tackled

by Rawson, Underwood and Rockwell, butthe slippery condition of his clothes enabledhim to escape. Fred Draper kicked the goal.Score, I 2-0.

Time was called on Technology's thirddown. Mansfield played quarter in the firsthalf, as Hayden's ankle obliged him to leavethe field.

No intermission was taken as the men werein such a drenched condition.

Technology showed up in better form duringthe second half. Several attempts were madeto kick, but neither team gained any ground.

Time was called with the ball in the centerof the field.

Technology showed its usual weak points:poor team work, fumbling the ball, weakblocking, and offensive play.

The teams lined up as follows: Technology,-rushers, Ames, Coburn, Le Moins, Mana-han, McCormick, Whiting, Rawson; quarterback, Thomas (Mansfield); half backs, Hay-den (Thomas), Rockwell; full back, Under-wood. Williams, rushers, Taylor, Town-send, Ogilvie, Heald, Lotz, Somokeay, Ryan;quarter back, Bradley (Street); half backs,Mather, F. Draper; full back, P. Draper.Umpire, J. H. Upton, Harvard; referee, Mr.Lothrop, Technology; linesman, H. S. Patter-son, '96. Time, thirty minutes.

Technology, 24; Hyde Park, 6.

TECHNOLOGY easily defeated the SuburbanLeague Champions in a well-played game onthe South End grounds last Saturday. Aclear day and a large, enthusiastic crowdcombined to make the event the most enjoya-ble of the home games thus far. The Tech-nology team played a strong, snappy game,and the backs particularly lent a- dash andspirit to their work which was sadly lackingearlier in the season.

The Hyde Park eleven was clearly out-classed, and its single touchdown was madeby a chance fumble. Hayward and Hurd

played the strongest games for their team,while the punting of the former did much tokeep Tech from scoring oftener. The entireteam showed a lack of practice which madeinterference impossible, and the Tech line hadlittle trouble in downing the Hyde Park backswithout gain.

For Technology every one played well andhard. The backs necessarily carried off mostof the glory, on account of their brilliant runs,while the center well deserved applause forits steadiness. Underwood and Howland areworthy of special mention; the former for hispunting and dashes through the line, and thelatter for his plucky runs around the ends atthe close of the game.

The teams lined up at 3.I7, Tech havingthe ball and the wind. Rockwell kicked overthe line, and the visitors were obliged to kickfrom the 2o-yard line. Underwood caughtthe ball at center and made Io yards. Theball now changed hands twice on four downs,and Tech started her ground gaining by thetackle play. Rockwell, Underwood andAmes each made good gains; and Amesfinally scored a touchdown from which Un-derwood kicked a goal.

.Dyer kicked to Tech's i5-yard line, andRockwell made a pretty run around right endfor 20 yards. Slight gains followed and Un-derwood punted from the center of the field.Hayward made a return punt and Technologyhad the ball on Hyde Park's 30-yard line.Short but steady gains were made and Thomasscored through center. Underwood kicked agoal. Score: Technology I2, Hyde Park o.

Dyer kicked to Rockwell, who made a fine35-yard run before Brown tackled him. Free-man broke through and stopped a pass. Afterthree attempts to gain through Tech's lineHayward punted to Tech's 5-yard line. Anunfortunate fumble, owing to a wrong signal,lost the ball, and Hyde Park scored a touch-down and a goal.

Rockwell kicked 40 yards, and Tech gotthe ball on four downs, scoring the third

touchdown; soon after Underwood kicked agoal, and the score for the first half remained,Tech, I8; Hyde Park, 6.

In the second half Howland took Thomas'place at half, while the latter played quarterinstead of Mansfield. Dyer kicked to How-land and Underwood punted to center,Thomas getting the ball on a muff. Thereferee, however, made the remarkable de-cision of giving the ball and fifteen yards toHyde Park. After short gains Tech got theball for off-side play, and beginning with apretty run of Howland's, carried the ball theentire length of the field, and scored after thesteadiest advance of the game. Underwoodkicked a goal, and the final score was 24 to 6in favor of Technology.

The teams lined up as follows: Tech-nology,-rushers, Ames, Coburn, Le Moins,Manahan, McCormick, Washburn, Rawson;quarter back, Mansfield; half backs, Thomas(Howland), Rockwell; full back, Underwood.Hyde Park,-rushers, Brown (Howard),Hurd, Dyer, Legate, Ruggles, Freeman,Brown (Rice): quarter back, Tower (Dem-ick); half backs, Hull, House; full back,Hayward.

The following entries have been receivedfor the cross-country run next Saturday: W.C. Powers, '95, Stoughton, '95, W. P. Ander-son, Jr., '96, H. Cummings, Jr., '96, R. Nor-ris, '96, S. F. Wise, '96, R. Johnston, '96, An-drews, '96, W. Sallon, '97, R. Rumery, '98,Pillsbury, '98.

THIE TECH7

THE Lounger has viewed with consternation somespecimens from '97-inanimate and impersonal-which have recently reached his" desk. While herecognizes the fact that chasing the coy and evanes-cent lunch-room girl, and regular devotion at theshrine across the way, are among the chief subjects ofthe Sophomore year, he would yet remind one or twocare-free youngsters that a becomingly modest ac-quaintance with the refinements of English literature,is one of the stern demands of our beneficent Faculty.Do not these careless youths realize that they makesore the hearts of the great ones by prating of"Orthello" and "Astrabellar Stellar"? Do they notknow the enormity of declaring that "Chawser wrotein Latin," or that "Caedmon composed his verses onhearing Jennessis?" The Lounger is at a loss whatto think, but wonders if those sa'me brilliant lightsexpect to startle the unwary by a calm announcementthat "Early English was but a mere mixture of wordsand phrases." These things are indeed passingstrange, and it is a long time since the Lounger hasseen their equal.

Certain of our staid and dignified instructors, too,have been indulging in unwonted joviality, for whichthe proximity of Hallowe'en may have been account-able. The Lounger learns that one of these whoposes as "my assistant" to the author of the favoriteTechnology textbook, recently entered into the joysof matrimony. Before taking this fateful step, how-ever, he descended into the abode of the big tripleexpansion in Engineering to bid an appropriate adieuto his associates. His appearance was the signal foran overwhelming salvo from myriad whistles, brazengongs, and other hellish instruments, well calculatedto impress him with the solemnity of the occasion,while pipe joints and patent indicators made desper-ate efforts to burst with emotion. This formal leave-taking was all that any ambitious mortal could desire,

and the dazed Benedict, the Lounger learns, wasnearly compelled to seek refuge in the comparativequiet of a boiler factory in order to recover from thenervous strain.

Once more would the Lounger urge the importanceand duty of attending class meetings. The times aretoo few in the activities of Technology life formeeting one's fellow classmen on the broad groundwhich the class meeting affords, to forego a single one.Freshman, Junior, Sophomore years soon are past,and the last year at Technology is upon one-that is,upon the one who is so fortunate as to get there-almost before he knows it. Believe the Loungerwhen he tells you that you will hereafter recall mostpleasantly the time spent in these meetings, or elseregret your lack of class spirit. Therefore see to it,'95, '96, '97, and '98, that when the time for classmeeting comes around, your place is filled, and let itnot be said that any of these illustrious bodies had toadjourn for want of a quorum.

The Lounger was surprised to find that the enchan-tresses of the gilded playhouse held such potent swayover the grinds and toilers as was manifested by thezeal with which these worthies resorted to THE TECHoffice in quest of free tickets " for the matinee" lastweek. Indeed, the demand has been so great thatthe dispenser of the magic pasteboards has been com-pelled to lengthen his already arduous office hours.This was truly perplexing, and the problem remainedunsolved till, on descending to the halls below, theLounger found these tickets advertised on the Chris-tian Union bulletin.

Full many a flower that last year grew unseen,Now brings its sweetness from Pike County air.

Some mute inglorious "milk'un" here may rest,Some Cromwell with his whiskers in the bud.

Beastly exams. will soon about them rage,And freeze the genial current of their souls.

She had not heard a single word,She's told me since with tears;

She wore her hair, as some girls will,Down over both her ears.
