,m.m,, One of these days there will be at least one department of the Institute independent of the old Buckeye. The Class of '9 5 has presented the Electrical Laboratory with an engine and a polyphase generator Qboth newj. Q Gur feelings on taking leave of the,Old Stone Mill are mixed. VVe feel the anguish of parting, While at the same time We are rejoiced that four years of hard Work are at last success- fully ended. There is another element in the total of our sentiments-an uncertainty as to where and when We are going to find a job. Between the positions of superintendent and third assistant dispenser of lubricants there is a Wide range, but the die may fall anywhere along the line.. ' At least it is not Doc's fault if we 'do not know a good oil When We .see it, and we have covered pretty Well the range of dirty Work, especially during the first yearsg so We are not as badly off as We might be. ,Ninety-five extends her parting good Wishes to President Morton and the faculty.

VVe arenow prepared for any degree of heat or any perpetual task that future ages may have in store for us. VVhen asked at the gate for our credentials, we shall haughtily reply, 'WVe have labored in 'sup. term'g that Will suflice. The only moments of joy which we experienced were our little jollying parties in the genial alchemist's chamber, or the occasional moments devoted to decanting amber fluids from his large beakers tprovided for 115, doubtlessl. After a short vacation, We once more assembled at the Old Mill, for the homestretehf' No history Would be complete that did not include some mention of our faculty. Prof. lVebb, held up to us as a bugaboo by former classes, has always treated us with consideration, and has been Well liked by us. Through him We have gained a thorough dislike of cross-section paper. But neatness must be inculeated by some one, and Prof. 'Webb is eminently fitted to do it. Prof. Denton's lectures have been most interesting and instruetiveg every word that he said Was of value to an engineer, and we are only sorry that We did not get more of the time for Whieh he was put dovvn on the roster. ' Profs. Mayer and MacCord have both been very kind to us, and have enlivened their hours With many interesting stories. Prof. MacCord seems to be especially devoted to the ellipse. Besides the Wheels for an Astronomical Clock, we have heard much about the Pair of Elliptical Gears made in our own shop, an Elliptical Lathe, etc., etc. Of Prof. lfVood We cannot say enough. lVe have patiently perused the new and sumptuous edition of his famous Addenda, not omitting to glance over the short preliminary essay on a subject called Thermodynamics. In place of annoying details about the latter entirely theo- retical subject fsee article 819, we have been favored with much entertaining autobiographical matter from the Professor. Our attention has also been called to some facts pertaining to the turbine, which have been of great value to us in reading Rankine and lVeisbaeh on that subject. To Profs. .laeobus and Anderson we render our heartiest thanks for their uniforinly court- eous treatment of us during that momentous supplementary term. We regret that we have not seen more of Prof. jaeobus. The much-dreaded H ship problem must have lost its beariugsg we did not sight it. lVe hope to see his pocket ice-machine, withfrnjyir'attachment, soon put on the market. ln March we had our inspection trip. The trip, this year, was west as far as Pittsburg. lVe learned much about boilers, automatic stokers, and the best place to get lunch, and now that only the thesis remains to trouble us, a word about what '95 has accomplished. The Class of '95 has furnished most of the athletic material for 'Stutc teams since its entrance. lVe have been the H prime movers of several reforms in 'Stutc management, thc bcnelits of which, although not reaching us, will be felt by posterity. fl
