Cornel. 24 series fi»r fear it might serve as an advertisement. The immediate consequence of this Inis prodneed a btul olfeci in the moral philosophy instructor, tor this series has eclipsed the groat Schwegler in imintclligihility, and one no longer, as of yore, sees on rainy night» an umbrella and a lantern on the croquet grounds; nay. even there are many sunshiny «lays when his mallet strikoth not the sphere, for black melancholy hath seized him, and even his “one gallus joke is no more. hr. Salford has begun to ask his class if he has told them of the formation of stalactites and stalagmites, while hr. I.askcr vill counteracts alt the good clfects of the late revival with his Anglo-Saxon. The other professors are pursuing the even tenor of their way. only disturbed hy isions of final examination chirogr.iphy. The Faculty still meets every Tuesday afternoon in the Chan- cellor's olllce to gossip about the students'character and sit down on petitions; they have also draw n up resolutions favoring co-education, and are laughing at the unsophis- ticated student, who. not versed in ways of the world in general, and the fair sex in partietilar. has taken the other side, and now prays for mountains to cover him. As for the rest of the nets of this learned hotly, are they not written in the published examin- ation papers ?

20 “T “ © Cornel. Er i eerir Department. .v ',..V + f ' . ■, i N |M79-£0 llu school of engineering was born in what has since degenerated into the Law-room. Hoginning life under the degrading influences of these early asso- ciations, the vigor and energy character- istic of its growth has been somewhat surprising. The year follow ing its birth it commenced operations on a more extended scale in Science Hall. The basement of this building contains the testing machine, steam plant, wood and metal shops, The first floor is occu- pied by the vice-box, museum, lecture-rooms, and gas-works. The drawing-rooms and par- lors are on the third floor. Supporting the rear end is an imposing chimney, giving an air of business to the campus, and an unfailing supply of smoke to the air. It performs, however, a still more important service in locating the It 11., science having fully established the fact that smoke follows the ugliest creature in the community. I nder these circum- stances it does seem a little strange that our theological brethren receive such copious showers of soot, contrasting so painfully with their spotless purity, and forcing a reversal of the ends of their culls every Sunday Thus, by swelling the Wesley Hall laundry list, home industries are encouraged. Hut one other function of this phenom- enal smoke-stack need be noticed to convince all fair-minded persons that the least Iuepossessing Attachment to the engineering department is more useful than ornamental.
