SENIORS MUST ORDERGOWNS BY WEDNESDAY

All members of the graduating classmust place their orders for Seniorcaps and gowns at the Co-operativeSociety by Wednesday afternoon, ac-cordling to an announcement by theSenior Week Committee. The reasonthat the orders must be in so early isthat measurements of each man mustbe taken, and then the gown has to be

In case ofinclement vveathler the review ilvill bepostponed uentil next Friday.

Many Scientists InterestedProject To Determine

One of tile most "peppy" pep mleet-in~gs thlat Technolo~gy has ever seenwas held in the Great Conrt between11:50 o'clock and 12:10 o'clock Fr iday.Five minutes leeway from the classbefore and after this was granted forthe occasion byr Dr. Samuel "W. Strat-ton, President of the Institute.

Conservative estimates at the num-ber of students range from 500 to 600,and some thought that as many as athoulsancl were present. The affairwas llnder the auspices of the Insti-tulte Calumet Club, and Homer A.Burnell '28, of the club introduced thespeakers. Both William Haines, coachof the Institute crews, and Orville D.Denison '11, secretary-treasurer of theAlumni Association said a few wfords.All speakers were preceded and fol-lowed by cheers, w hich where led byrAlbert L. Eigenbrot '29.

Coach Spoonl of Pennsylvania, to-gether with his first varsity crew, andlCoach Haines of Harvard, were sup-posedl to be present, but the Penncoach found the river at the time soquiet that he sent out his outfit for atrial spin. The Harvzardl mentor, too,was unable to alttendl.

CompetitionCulmination of a civil engineering

dream held by many Technology engi-nleers to build the surveying standardof the Atlantic Coast here, has at lastbeen realized. A perm'anent bench-mark, the engineering term for astandard unvarying point used in de-termining the elevation of surround-ing land in surveys and for the studyof vertical movements of the earth, isbeing established at Technology. W~orkon the benchmark has already begun.

In o~rder to reach a solid foundation.the benchmark being built in front ofBuilding 1, which is a steel eneasedlcolumn of concrete, will be sunk 125feet below the surface of the earth-with the conical point of the shaftdriven ffive feet into bed rock. Oper-ations on drilling the shaft are nowunder way, and this point of elevation,which is believed to be the -only oneof its kind east of Minneapolis, wvillbe located on the Charles River -Driveside of the Institute grounds. It whillbe available for surveys or studies bythe United States Coast and GeodeticSurvey and Army engineers.

Will Be Housed In CubicleAfter the shaft has been sunk into

the earth the top will be housed in aispecially designed cubicle which w~illbe proof against frost and water. Theexact point of known elevation lvill bemade of steel bolted to the steelsheathing of the cohlunn and boulnd inconcrete so that it wrill be absolultelyrimmovable.

Aside from its great value to engi-ineers in determining the elevation ofsurl ounding territory, the benchmark.at Techlnology will serve as a basis forstudies of land settlement and verticalchanges in the earth's surface.

Within recent years seientists hlavebeen puzzled by a. tilting of tile landtowvard the sea. These ehlianes, wxhiclihave been detected in the waorlk of tileUnited States C~oast and Geodletic Sulr-vey., cannot bie accounoted for bay an-,nh~nowvn tidal action nor by- the rise alndfall of the land.

At just about quarter to eight thethree varsity crews started off und~ernearly ideal weather conditions. Har-vard sprinted away from the start atthe rate of A." strokes to the minuteand gained a slight lead over both theother eights. As the quarter-milemark was r eachedl Penn's crews hadfallen considerably astern but theBeavers were grimly holding theirposition at about a quarter of a lengthbehind the Crimson shell.

T. C. Desmonld, Leader of PlanWill Pr esent Idea at

Reunion.

The first in1portant step toward theestablishment of a "National Techl-nolog~y Center" for members of the,Technology A;lumlni or!ll2~ization, evwillbe takenrnext month when the Teeh-1nology Clllbs Associatedl holdls its na-1tional corvelation ant] re-.inionl in N\ewYork on June 10 andf 11, it llas beenannounced by Thlomas C. Desmonld '09.president of the -afiliatefl alumnigroups and leader in the proposedplan to establish a national center.

In recent months. the idea of a "Na-tional Technologyv Center" has rapidly-gained momentum throllgl the publicsupport of such represenltative -men asDr. Samuel W. Strattoll, President ofthe Institulte, James P. Mlunroe '82,secretary of the Institute Corporationjand Professor Samuel C. Prescott '94,1head of the Department of Biology andPublic Health and president of thelAlumni Association. The plan ' swill. be presented at the forthcoming con-1vention by Mr. Desmond who has al-Iready obtained an architect's perspec-1tive of the proposed 25 story edificedrawn by Chandler Stearns '17 of NewYork, former assistant professor ofarchitecture at the Institute.

"'The proponents of the 'NationalTechnology Center' visualize it as acombination office andl club building,primarily for the use of former stul-dents of Technology," said M~r. Des-mond4^ "A location somewhere nearthe Grand Central Terminal is sug-gested, because such a location is inthe present fashionable club andR officebuilding district of growing impor-tance,

"New Ytork Citv is selected as thebest location for the proposed center iIrather than Chicago, Plliladelphlia orsome other city. because Newv YorkCity is the metropolis of the -UnitedStates and unquestionably the cityabcove all others which the alumni visitmost often. I would venture the as-sertion that tell Western alumni visitNew York City every year to everyone that goes to Boston.

"It is expected," Desmond furtherstated, "that the National TechnologyCenter will cost about three million

in the forthcoming 1927 Convention ofthe Technology Clubs Associated tobe held in New York City on Fridayand Saturday, June 10 and 1I. A~d.vante registrations continue to reachthe office of the President of the or.realization-Thomas C. Desmonld logand the alumni in Boston and vicinity'are planning a gala time on the East.ern S. S. boat which sails Thulrsdayevening, the 9th.

Convention headquarters swill be atthe Waldorf Astoria Hotel and in con.nection with registration during theopening day alumni groups of the va.rions Institute fraternity chapters areplanning luncheons either at the hotelor at nearby places. Convention badgeswill in many cases be supplementedby class regalia.

'VVhen the business session is calledto oarder by President Desmond on theafternoon of June 10th there will bea, truly representative alumni grouppresent, with practically every one ofthe 58 local clubs throughout the Uni.ted States represenlted. PresidentStratton, President-elect Samuel C,Prescott '94: of the Alumni Associa.tionI, and several heads of departmentshere will open the M. I. T. discussionwhich will center on the present andfuture trends at the Institute and inparticular on the advisability of theproposed National Technology Centerplan.

The first evening of the Conventionwill be devoted to a boat trip on theHudscki River, the committee havingchartered, the river steamer "Chaun.cey M. Depew." There will be dancingon board, a bridge tournament andother entertainment, with a view ofthe Palisades at twilight, and, later,the skcyline of New York City and N ewYork harbor at night. Of course theladies will be present at this function,as at all other events of the Conven-tion.

THE TRIUMPH OF ENGINEERING Theof a ]

AT A TIME when the whole world is ringing with praise for cial vCaptain Charles Lindbergh and the tremendous feat which Dintoi

he has so sucecessfully accomplished, it seems only fair to re- Teipm member that there are many others who deserve nearly as Thcmuth credit for the flight. It is true that Lindbergh took hi bit °oilife in his hands when he so gaily started off from Roosevelt positefield last Friday morning-but he did so with the knowledge thatCsthat his plane was as nearly perfect as engineering science cpasicould make it. Older and more experienced aviators were bec..moved by the daring of the youth and many of them expressed rejectdoubt as to the successful outcome of his glorious attempt. Few matteof them believed it was possible for a single engine to stand Thorrup so long under such a terrific strain. The news of his saf e to hlaarrival at Le iBourget Airport is, consequently, as great a trib- horrute to the builders of the plane and of the engine as it is to the lrynlynerve and skill of the great Lindbergh. -Ionar

The Wright Whirlw-ind Engine which furnished the motivetalhespower for Lindbergh's plane should be dear to the heart of creditevery Technology man. We, as potential engineers, are the ess b-ones who can really appreciate the truly splendid performance Thllorrof this remarkable piece of machinery. It is believed that the then speed of the motor varied from 1600 to 1900 revolutions per marriminute. If we assume an average of 1775 revolutions per min-olaute for the entire trip, we find that the engine made approx- rovteimately 3,819,000 revolutions without once faltering- eThyz

This flight has given Lindbergh worldwide fame and pub- trigulilicitly-which is no more than his due-but we must not forget *iel Mthat equal credit should go to the men who designed the engine the Inand the plane, and the loyal mechanics who made sure that not 1(it contained no defects. Without the combined efforts of all truisrthese men, the New York-Paris flight could never have been ac- ing l-complished. resardhig

IBEAVER BASEBALLTEAM BLANKED BY

BOSTON COLLEGE

Engineers Held Off Third BaseDuring 9 to O Defeat In

Slow Game

BATTING SLUMP TO BLAME

Boston College last Saturday thor-oughly trounced the Beaver BaseballTeam by a score of 9 to 0. The Engin-eers from the opening of the game ap-peared to be in a complete and inclu-sive slump, in both fielding and bat-ting. Few strike-outs were registeredagainst them but they could not findHerman, the Eagle twirler, for any-thinlg but fly-outs. This was due prim-arily to the moundman's unusualthrow. Invariably the b~all would passthe pan high enough to be nearly outof reach, yet because of starting lowfrom the box would confuse or f oolsuccessive batters. Added to this mis-forttlne for the Beavers was the f actthat in great contrast to the pastdemonstrations, the Engineers did notfield either well or fast. The Eagleswvere able to steal bases with ease af-ter the catching of flys.

Johnson started in the pitcher's boxfor the Beavers and hurled well untilthe sixth inning. Tlle sixth. however.was disastrous. A triple by Fitzgeraldto deep right field with two on bases.wrlich was followed by a single anda double, brought in 4 runs and com-pelled Coach Silva to substitute Allenon the miound. This move effectivelychecked the B. C. onslaught althoughanl overthrow to first allowed theEagles another run before the endof thegae

Four errors by the Beav er infieldconsiderably handicapped the effec-tiv eness of the pitchers and :.aidledniuch toward the Eagle score. BostonfCollege chalked up 11 hits against 6for the Engineers. Of the latter's. all

At about four o'clock referee A. D. Lindley, former Yalecaptain and stroke of the Olympic championship crew, de-cided to postpone the freshman race for an hour or so in hopesthat the conditions for rowing would-

Frank Hussey, the fleet Boston Col-lege dash man, helped to raise thatCollege's sum total by carrying offfirst places in both dash events. Jim-my Brudno of Colby, after trailingthroughout the entire race, made abeautiful last lap sprint so wint theverdict in the two mile. O'Brien ofB. C. was second with Taylor of Mainethird.

University of Mainle owes its thril-ling meet victory to its great strengthin the field events. Of its total of24 1-4 points only two were made onthe track. In the field events thewinners took firsts in the shot put,pole vault and javelin. Bowdoin, thefavorite to win the meet was a vic-tim of circumstances. Monstram, whowas expected to figure heavily in thedashes pulled a tendon in the 220semi-final. Hill, who wonl the statemeet last week, was pushed out ofthird place in the disculs by Black ofMaine who failed to qualify in thestate meet.

Thefreshmen remained at the boathousewhile the 150-pound varsity oarsmenprepared to start the regatta. Thethree crews got off to a fast start at5:30 o'clock. Harvard gained a slightlead at the start, but by the time thequarter-mile mark had been reachedboth Teclnology and Penn had over-hauled the Crimson craft, and theBeavers were half a length ahead ofthe Penn eight. Thre Cardinal andGray crew boosted this lead to a fulllength at the Harvard Bridge; butPenn increased her stroke to 36 andcaught up with the Institute eight atthe mile line. From here to the endof the one and five-sixteenths milecourse Penn and Technology rowed aclosely contested race which was finallywon by less than a quarter of a length.

MAKE 200 SALES OFSENIOR CLASS RINGS

Almost 200 members of the Class of1927 bought Senior Class Rings duringthe recent drive, it has been an-nounced. It is felt that even moremight have bought rings were therenot so many expenses burdening Sen-iors about this time.

Owing to the success of this year'sring, it is probable that it will be-come the custom for the Senior Classin following years to have rings. Itwas suggested some time ago to theInstitute Committee that the ring se-lected by the Class of 1927 be adoptedas a standard class ring for Technolo-gy, but it was left for the new Com-mittee to decide the matter. However,there was a large number of the mem-bers of the lower classes who showedinterest in the ring by going around toexamine it.

Co-eds at the University of Idahohave adopted the "Dutch Treat" idea.Owing to an apparent lack of fundsamong the men students, the co-edsare buying their own tickets, and theircompanions do likewise.

"No man's tecihnical education iscomplete on the day he graduates, Ibelieve, and the Institute, by extensioncourses or otherwise, might well con-tinue to be interested in the educa-tional progress of its former stu-dents, particularly for the very im-portant few years just succeedinggraduation.
