Please accept it in its entirety, that in years to come it may prove a source of pleasure and a happy reminder of college days gone by. Throughout our work we have had two especial motives in view’, viz: To furnish accurate statistics, and to provide humor which shall amuse and not offend. Should any of our playful jests be taken in any other spirit than that in which they w’ere written, we shall feel that a great part of our w’ork has been performed in vain. We wish to extend our heartiest thanks to those wrho have aided us in our labors, and to the students in general who have taken such a deep interest in our progress. Special acknowledgement is due to Prof. Roney and Mrs. Beveridge, whose kindnesses have aided us in securing many of the statistics herein produced. The Board has suffered the loss of Associate Editors Cady and Florsheim and of Manager O’Leary, to whose contributions and many timely suggestions we owe much. Considering it essential that the important events of the school since the opening of the institution should be noted, we have striven, with this end in view, to give you a glimpse of the fun, labor and results of life at Armour, and to make the volume interesting, instructive and worthy of its surroundings. The editors hope that “our first attempt” may prove sufficient excuse for our failings, and that wdiatever merit the volume may possess shall be credited to the Class of ’99, who are the instigators of and in whose name the Intkgral is edited and published. 9 1$97‘9$ 1$97 June 28-29.

JULIA BEVERIDGE II Philip Danfortb Armour t i N Stockbridge, Madison County, New York, on May 16th, 1832, Philip Danforth Armour was born. He is distinctly an American, as are his ancestors for generations. His boyhood’s days were spent on a farm, where the fundamental principles which have made his life a success—habitual frugality and industry without ceasing —were instilled into his character. As a boy he was genial to a degree, healthy, resolute and strong; he held his own wherever chance found him, and was a leader among his classmates, as later events were bound to make him among men. A country life among the Stockbridge hills, while a most excellent place for a boy to be reared, was too obscure for one so tempered; consequently it is not strange that when the excitement due to the discovery of gold in California was spreading over the country, we find Mr. Armour on his way to the land of flowers. The trials and hardships which he encountered there seemed to have broadened his views and knit together his dominant characteristics. In 1856 he returned to the East and visited his parents, whom he had always held in reverential affection. To them he divulged an account of his success and related the stories of his adventures. (To a few of the most intimate friends of the family the father whispered the fact of the young man having brought back some money with him.) After remaining with his parents a few weeks he once more turned westward, and finally located in Milwaukee, where he formed a co-partnership and entered the commission business with I'rederick B. Miles. After a successful run, they dissolved in 1863. The dogmatic and persistent way in which he pursued his business, his characteristic manner in grasping out for new ideas, brought him prominently before his fellow towns- people. Though yet young, he was looked upon by many with something akin to envy, at the prestige which he had already attained. In the spring of 1863 there occurred what later proved to be the forerunner of a very successful business engagement in the joint co-partnership arrangement between John Plankington and Philip I). Armour. But the success which Mr. Armour has met in his business transactions is so well knowm that it i � not necessary to allude to it here. In October, 1862, he wras married to Miss Malvina Belle Ogden, at Cincinnati, Ohio—a union which has proved to be most happy. Mr. Armour’s capacity for w'ork is something wonderful. He is at his desk by 7 a. m., and frequently before this time. Fatigue is to him an unknown term. He has traveled extensively, is a close observer, and can give as clear and as accurate a forecast of the financial condition of the country as it is possible to do. Notwithstanding the vast amount of work which the management of so large a business necessarily imposes upon him, Mr. Armour finds time to take a lively interest in the two institutions which bear his name—“The Armour Mission,” founded by Joseph F. Armour, and the “ Armour Institute of Technology,” founded by himself. He makes several visits a week to the Institute, and is deeply pleased in the work which the students are doing. It is this combination of industry, untiring energy and philanthropy, that has made the name of Philip I). Armour not only so potent in the West, but a recognized leader among the merchants of the world. 12 P 7T0N Armour Institute or Technology Che Executive Committee ■J , Professor of English Literature, and Dean of the Faculty.

Ul. Cunsaulus WAKELEY GUNSAULUS was born at Chesterville, Ohio, January 1st, 1856. His father was Hon. Joseph Gunsaulus, a direct descend- ant of the Spanish martyr, Reginald Gonsalius Montanus, who died at the hands of the Inquisitors in the sixteenth century. His mother, who was of English descent, was a Miss Hawley. He was educated at the Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio, graduating in 1875, and marrying in the same year Miss Anna Long of Virginia. He began preaching at once in the Methodist Church. In 1879 he became pastor of the Eastwood Congregational Church in Columbus, Ohio, and in 1881 accepted the pastorate of the High Street Congregational Church, of the same city. Breaking down in health, he went to Newtonville, Mass., remain- ing there until 1S85, when he was called to the Brown Memorial Church of Baltimore, where he remained until he received the summons which brought him to Plymouth Church, Chicago, in 18S7. He has published at different intervals sermons, essays, historical sketches, and poems. His first book of sermons was published in 1881, and was called “October at Eastwood.” In 1886 his “Transfiguration of Christ” was published; in 1891, “Monk and Knight,” and “Phidias, and other Poems”; in 1893, “Loose Leaves of Song;” and in 1895, “ Songs of Night and Day.” His well-known lectures on Savonarola, John Hampden, Oliver Cromwell, The Higher Ministries of Contemporary English Poetry, and several others, have never been printed. In 1887 the degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Beloit College, Wisconsin. Dr. Gunsaulus is regarded as one of the greatest connoisseurs of fiue art and bibliomania in America. He is at present, in connection with his clerical work at Plymouth Church, occupying the position of President of The Armour Institute of Technology, and is a prime mover in all fields of educational work. He is a scholarly man, with an extremely attract- ive personality. A brilliant speaker, his words full of fire and color, and scintillating with flashes of humor, and he holds his audiences to the end of his splendid lectures. Not unfrequently he has been called the Second Beecher, and as orator he is often likened to Wendell Phillips. He is a man of distinct ideas, with a great, generous, loving heart. 24 NCLUDED among the first duties of the Editorial Board was the selection of a name for the Annual. T f This was not such an easy task as one might ML imagine, upon first thought. In referring to the names of other college annuals we found such names as these: “The Bugle,” “The Lantern,” “Oriflamme,” “ The Hullabaloo,” “Jambalaya,” “The Sombrero,” “Corks and Curls,” “The Gopher,” and numerous other meaningless titles; there could be but one result, this was a firm determination on our part, to select a name which would not only have a definite meaning to college students, but which would be characteristic of the volume which we hoped to produce. Nothing but the best would do, and immediately the search began; many names were proposed, discussed and discarded as inadequate. Weeks passed by without satisfactory results, and it seemed that our name would be “Nemo,” when suddenly, one day, our honored friend and classmate, Erie Sidney Roos, became inspired. This inspiration immediately took definite form and the name “ INTEGRAL” was presented for our consideration. It came like the gentle breeze at eventide, and was unani- mously accepted by the Board. According to the “American Encyclopaedic Dictionary” the word “ Integral” signifies entire, complete; containing all the parts — so suggestive of the character of the young man who conceived it, and so descriptive of our aspirations —do you wonder that our name is “The Integral?” 27 In Itlemoriam J PROF. JAMES CLARK FOYE, A. M , PH. D., LL. D. .jt It was with a deep sense of sorrow that we heard of the sudden death of Prof. Foye on the evening of July 3, 1896. Some of us knew that he had been ill for about a year, but we hoped, and perhaps most of us expected, that the rest which he would obtain during the summer holidays would restore him to health. He was extremely adverse to appearing ill, so much so that he never missed a lecture or recitation and even when he ought not to have attempted any work he would appear in class with his accustomed good nature and with such perfect control of himself that I doubt if any of his students even suspected that he was ill. It was only when comparatively alone in his office that he allowed himself to show the illness he felt. His death, therefore, was a surprise to both faculty and students, who felt that they were all poorer by the sad event. Prof. Foye was born March 1, 1841, at Great Falls, N. H., and graduated from Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., in 1863. Shortly after receiving his degree, he was called to the chair of Natural Science in the Wesleyan I'emale College, Cincinnati, and two or three years later became President of Jonesborough Female College in Tenneesee. In 1867 he became Professor of Physics and Chemistry in Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis., where he remained for twenty six years, resigning his professorship to accept a similar position in the Armour Institute in 1893. This was before the Institute had any students, and it was thought that one man could teach all the Chemistry and Physics. When the registration made it evident that four men would be required to do this work, Prof. P'oye became Professor of Chemistry. Then the department of Chemistry and Chemical Ivngineering was organized, with Prof. Foye as Director. Prof. I'oye never ceased to be a student and investigator. He contributed to scientific periodicals, wrote three important books, was an active and valued member of the Wisconsin Academy of Science, the Chicago Academy of Science, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He earned his Master’s degree early in his teaching and the degree Ph. D. was later conferred by DePauw, and LL. D. by Lawrence, and the A. A. A. S. honored him by making him one of its fellows. Lawrence University recognized his executive ability by making him vice president and fiscal agent. But Prof. I'oye was more than teacher, student and scholar. He was a citizen in the best sense of the word, since he found “his satisfaction in ways which were favorable to the well-being of all.’’ He was a well rounded, well-balanced man. A man of charming good nature, but withal a decidedly positive man, a believer in humanity, an optimist, and altogether the kind of person one likes to have as his friend. The following resolutions express the feelings of the executive committee toward our departed friend: Whereas. The earthly career of our friend and colleague. Prof. James Clark Foye. has suddenly terminated, and Armour Institute of Technology, and his professional associates, have, by the sad event, sustained a great loss, therefore. Resolved, That we. the Kxecutive Committee of Armour Insti- tute of Technology, desire to record our sorrow at the loss of one who has been with us since the opening of the Institute, and helped in no small way to lay the foundation upon which successful work has since been accomplished. By his genial manner and kindly ways Prof. Foye endeared himself to every one of us. and by his death we have lost an earnest and enthusiastic fellow student, a conscientious and successful teacher, and an able and judicious counselor. He will be missed in our classes and in our councils, and the memories of his amiability, kindliness, strong convictions and rare good judgment will not soon be forgotten. Resolved. That we unite in these resolutions of respect and esteem, that we tender to the bereaved family our sincere sympathy, and that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to them by the secretary. 28 ■yE-hi5T u? y- History of Armour instituto of technology 4 4 4 Institute of Technology was founded in 1892, by Mr. Philip D. Armour, of Chicago. The work of instruction was begun in September, 1893.” Behind this brief quotation from the institute year book is a story of the personal consecration and brotherly affection of two men, which powerfully contradicts the hasty assumption so often advanced that commercial ideals to-day are hostile to the higher motives and gentler emotions of life. Mr. Joseph Armour left, in 1881, a bequest of $100,000, to be used in promoting the moral and intellectual development of children and youths. This bequest was given into the charge of his brother, Mr. Philip D. Armour, who has not only been a faithful executor of his brother’s benefaction, but has added to it gifts aggregating two millions of dollars. Following the spirit of the bequest intrusted to him, Mr. Armour erected the spacious building at Armour Avenue and 33d Street, now known as Armour Mission, in which he established what was then known as the Plymouth Mission Sunday School, an organization supported in that neighborhood since 1874 by members of the Plymouth Congregational Church. The effect of this mission was most marked in the neighborhood, and led Mr. Armour to erect the fine group of buildings known as the Armour Flats. These consist of two hundred and thirteen separate suites of apartments, forming an attractive neighborhood, and a congenial environment for the great engineering school which now stands in their midst. The development of this institution from the antecedent conditions just enumerated was due to the conviction of Mr. Armour and his co-workers, that their benevolent enterprise would fail of its highest aim, unless practical education were added to the moral and religious forces already at work to produce good and efficient members of society. Accordingly a school was planned to include only academic and industrial training; but through the wise forethought of Mr. Armour’s pastor, Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, who was its first president, and who from the first realized the possibilities of the enterprise, its scope was widened so as to make room for higher technical training along various engineering lines, the limits of which were not at first precisely defined. The importance to the community of this kind of education was also strenuously urged by engineers and educators, and their views were reinforced by the many applications for extended courses in engineering that were received as soon as this purpose of the Institute became known. In March, 1893, President Gunsaulus committed to Prof. Thos. C. Roney, Dean of the new Faculty, the work of co-ordinating these varied elements, and developing a plan by which the departments already established, or to be established, might be united in a logical 32 and harmonious educational scheme. The result was the plan of organization under which the Institute now exists, and which is given below. Armour Institute of Technology comprises: I. Armour Institute of Technology Proper, including, 1. The Technical College, which embraces 2. The Scientific Academy. The Course in Mechanical Engineering, The Course in Electrical Engineering, The Course in Architecture, The Course in Mathematics and Physics. II. The Associated Departments. These departments, which were included in the original plan of the Institute, are still under its direction or are affiliated with it, having justified their existence by the work they have accomplished. They are 1. The Department of Domestic Arts. 2. The Kindergarten Normal Department. 3. The Department of Music. 4. The Department of Shorthand and Typewriting. Pearly in 1893 a union was effected with the Art Institute of Chicago, for the purpose of developing the course in architecture, which that institution had successfully maintained since 1889. The result was the establishment of the Chicago School of Architecture, which also constitutes the Department of Architecture of Armour Institute of Technology. The spirit and aim of the Institute are well expressed in the following extract from its first public announcement: a This institution is founded for the purpose of giving to young men and women an opportunity to secure a liberal education. It is hoped that its benefits may reach all classes. It is not intended for the poor or the rich, as sections of society, but for any and all who are earnestly seeking practical education. Its aim is broadly philanthropic. Profoundly realizing the importance of self-reliance as a factor in the development of character, the founder has con- ditioned his benefactions in such a w?ay as to emphasize both their value and the student’s self-respect. The Institute is not a free school; but its charges for instruction are in harmony with the spirit which animates alike the founder, the trustees and the faculty; namely, the desire to help those who wish to help themselves. It remains to note in brief the work of the institute as it is conducted along scholastic, technical and industrial lines. the Scientific Academy No part of this work is more important than that which is justly regarded as the core of its educational system, namely, its Preparatory School. The Scientific Academy admits to its classes, boys and girls, who have completed the studies in the grammar grades of the public schools. It provides courses of four years, which prepare students to enter the Technical College of Armour Institute of Technology, or the leading universities and colleges, east and west. The instruction is under the immediate supervision of the Dean of the 1'aculty, and many of the classes are personally conducted by members of the College Faculty. The spirit and, to some extent, the methods of college work have been introduced with favorable results. 35 the technical College The engineering courses also are four years in length. Two general considerations have governed their ai range- ment. On the one hand, by making the requirements of admission in some studies more inclusive than is usual, larger opportunities are offered for the prosecution of distinctively technical work. On the other hand, the fact has been recognized that there are many students in technical schools who, -from lack of means, have been unable to obtain that general culture which is indispensable to a broad technical education, and which it is the province of the ordinary college course to furnish. This deficiency is supplied as far as possible by the addition of courses in literature, history and philosophy. Che Associated Departments The students in these departments share in the general advantages of the Institute. They have free access to the Institute library, in which are works chosen with special reference to their needs; to the gymnasium, where an instructor is in regular attendance; to the literary, musical and social gatherings, which are held at intervals throughout the year and constitute a delightful feature of the school life. The Department of Domestic Arts affords instruction in the following subjects: cookery, household economy, home nursing and emergencies, plain sewing, dressmaking and millinery. Most of these subjects are pursued in a technical and a special course, the former being intended for those who desire professional training, while the latter is for general culture and development. The Kindergarten Normal Department. The Chicago Free Kindergarten Association began its work sixteen years ago; its subsequent growth and development have been steady, marked and satisfactory in an unusual degree. The Association was incorporated one year later, April 19, 18S2. In 1893 it became affiliated with Armour Institute of Technology. The work of the association is two-fold, viz: a Kindergarten Normal School and a system of Free Kindergartens iti the city of Chicago. In the Department of Music, instruction is offered in piano, organ, voice culture, violin, violincello, cornet, flute, mandolin, harmony, counterpoint and musical composition. There are concerts, recitals and lectures throughout the school year. Students may be enrolled at any time. The instruction embraces all grades, including children’s classes and classes for advanced students. Lessons are given privately as well as in classes. In the Department of Shorthand and Typewriting, instruction is given in shorthand, typewriting, English, spelling, business and legal forms, correspondence, letter filing, copying, mimeographing, manifolding and office practice. Students are given an opportunity, when far enough advanced, to do practical work, whereby they are fitted to enter business life with a keener appreciation of what is expected of them. The instruction is arranged in two courses, the Amanuensis Course, and the Teachers’ Course. As this department is in session throughout the year, students are admitted at any time. 36 Members of the Executive Committee 39 Che Department of mechanical Engineering ARTICULAR attention must be paid by the mechanical engineer to apparatus for the generation of power and to the machinery by which this power is utilized. But when we consider that the vehicles for this power are steam, electricity, water, air, gas, etc., it will be seen that the variety of apparatus is great. And when we consider further the design and construction of the infinite variety of machines by which power is used in the various V' 'X 9 v 9 branches of manufacture and transportation, it will not seem too sweeping to assert that the work of the mechanical engineer is necessary to all the industrial processes. Then if we consider the question of the training of a mechanical engineer for his pro- fession. the conclusion will be quickly reached that the problem is a hard one. A generation ago. when the first schools of mechanical engineering were established, there was but little experience of value to serve as a guide. The best judgment of able men was the sole resource in attacking the new problem. That problem was, how best to train men for a work that was seen to be necessary, but the limits of which were as yet indistinctly marked. Thirty years experience are now’ at command as a guide to what is needed to fit engineering students to begin their professional labors. Moreover, the fund of engineering knowledge has been vastly increased. Compare the treatises on engineering topics published during this period with those previously existing, and the truth of this statement will be realized. It is not strange, then, that ideas should be changed and methods of training modified by the combined efforts of experience and knowledge. The conventional length of time for this training has been from the first four years. The amount of work that can be profitably given to a student depends upon his capacity for assimilation. More than this is quite like an excess of food—a little worse than useless. Consequently, the standard for admission to the engineering courses has been raised, and subjects curtailed, eliminated or added. A significant instance of this change, wrought by the passing of thirty years, is seen in the appointment for the present session, in one of our leading schools of mechanical engineering, of a Professor of Engineering Physics. The man appointed is a graduate in mechanical engineering, and is prepared for his work by years of experience as an instructor in experimental mechanics. The purpose is not to neglect general physics, for that is still strong, but to teach parts of the science as engineers in practice have found they need it taught. In our own institution, the course in general physics has been strengthened, while the special applications of the science to mechanics and thermodynamics have been intrusted to the professor of mechanical engineering. The course in mechanical engineering is conformed, so far as possible, to what is now considered good practice. There is such a thing as an engineering market in which 40 graduates offer their services for sale. When they entered their course they asked them- selves, “ What will I be fitted for when I get through? ” After they finished their courses they were apt to ask, “ What can I get to do? ” The well-rounded man, the man of good habits, physical and moral as well as intellectual, is the one who forges ahead when he gets something to do. The carpenter needs a few good tools in good order with which to execute his work. But he needs character to secure that work. It is the business of instructors in mechanical engineering to study not only what the general training of a mechanical engineer should be, but also the local demands of employers. On the other hand, they must establish a reputation for their school that will attract students to receive the training offered. Then the students know where to go for the training they want, and employers know where to look for the men they want. The details of instruction in mechanical engineering are given in our yearbook. It will be enough to say that a due proportioning is attempted of the work done in mathematics, physics, chemistry, language, shop work, laboratory work, drawing, and engineering practice. And in recognition of the fact that a mechanical engineer’s work is largely in contact with business affairs and in the management of men, an insight is given of the general principles of business law, political economy, logic and psychology. The chief branches are steam engineering, and machine design; but a working knowledge is also acquired of electrical, hydraulic, air and gas engineering, and of heating, ventilating and refrigerating. The reputation of the Institute rests largely with her alumni. And the Institute has been singularly fortunate in the character of the first graduating class. They will make a good impression, which we may safely trust will be deepened and confirmed by succeeding classes. � 43 Ones lo Armour institute of technology ,jZ CANNOT sing thine age or name or fame, Or moss-grown walls with tints of green and gray, Re-echoing faintly yet the words of yore, And breathing memories or sad or gay Of generations. I sing thee not for breadth of field and wood, Where venerable trees bend over earth Long trod by sons of thine through passing years. Made dearer by association’s birth And time’s slow magic. Few sons to carry thee in memory, To make thy name a power through their deeds. Hast thou sent forth equipped with strength of thought,— So wait thou must for fruitage from the seeds Thy care hath planted. If much is lacking, what then is thy boast ? A standard high, to greater heights no bar; A record fair in that already writ, And bound to be yet fairer, nobler far In that unwritten. Thy home a city great in breadth and deeds, Of waters king, though risen from a fen, Fast bound by ties of steel that throb with life To all the world of commerce; served by men Of energy and daring. Thy spirit, earnestness; we find in thee That honest effort, backed by purpose strong, Doth hold its fit reward. All honor be To men who make this true, in this our song To Alma Mater. 44 Ladies of the Institute Lf Che Department of Electrical Engineering JL £ v our own profit in the present times of rapid advancement we may pause occa- sionally and dwell on the historical development of the newer conditions which are so constantly forced upon the attention of the public. Within the sphere of organized intelligent activities, the profession of the elec- trical engineer and the manner of his educational preparation, are clouded in almost total obscurity in the minds of the general public. It is within the past decade that the profession has been recognized, and there is still much uncertainty whether electrical, along with that of mechanical, architectural, chemical or sanitary engineering, are entitled to be classed with the so-called learned professions of law, medicine and theology. This is scarcely the place to enter upon an argumentative discussion of such a subject, but the endeavor will be made to show the historical and present status of the professional side of electrical engineering, the ideals which govern it in practice, and general educational training, believing that the intelligent reader can come to but one conclusion when the contrast is instituted with the professions of law, medicine and theology. The successful completion of the Atlantic Cable some thirty years ago, was an event destined to call into existence a new branch of professional activity. Before the cable became a working success the scientific labors of the greatest of modern mathematical phy- sicists, the present Lord Kelvin, were needed. He may, in this sense, be regarded as the originator of the profession. The extension of submarine and aerial telegraphy led to a still wider application of experimental and mathematical physics and chemistry, reaching also into what are now known as civil and mechanical engineering. Almost contemporaneously with the completion of the Atlantic Cable was made the discovery of the modern dynamo. Then followed the advent of the arc light, the telephone and the incandescent lamp. Suc- ceeding these was the application, in 1887, of electricity for the propulsion of street cars. Next came the development of what has taxed all the resources of mathematical analysis, the alternating current and its multi-phase applications. Within the last few years hydraulic engineering has contributed to the utilization of water powers to such an extent that already there are signs of great economic changes to result from this. Little by little electrical traction has been invading the domain of the steam locomotive, until today we are entering an era of rapid transit by electricity. This, in brief, is a partial survey of the field open to the labors of an electrical engineer. What, may now’ be asked, is the definition of engineering, and what is its leading and controlling idea? A brief and rather unsatisfactory reply is that the engineer seeks to utilize natural forces, materials, and conditions, for economic purposes. The engineer is no scien- tific worker of miracles; on the contrary, his possibilities are always limited by economic conditions, and as these change, more and more of the scientific possibilities will become legitimate subjects to engage the attention of the engineer. 48 As is to be expected, in a field of activity so new, and with boundaries so elastic and vaguely defined, there is no hard and fast system of educational training. The public is perplexed to distinguish between the trade school, the manual training school, and the strictly technical school. In order of establishment, the manual training school was probably the progenitor of the three. They today hold the anomalous position which the advanced academy does to the preparatory school and the literary college, and will doubtless soon undergo marked modifications, as it is too advanced to train skilled mechanics, and too elementary to educate engineers. Beginning with the trade school, its function is to train the electrician, a skilled electrical mechanic who shall operate dynamos and install and main- tain transmission circuits. These few words are all too brief to allude to that highly essential system of educational manual training. The electrical engineer is the one who utilizes, plans and designs. It is his mission to control what science places at his command for the accomplishment of an economic purpose. In his training the essential element is such a command of mathematical physics, and the general laws of the physics of matter and energy, that he is enabled to apply them for the accomplishment of his purposes. To this a considerable knowledge of chemistry must be added, and a working command of the leading principles of steam, hydraulic and mechanical engineering. To accomplish this, even in a small way, the conventional collegiate course of four years in the school of technology is all too brief, even with the daily routine of lectures and constant laboratory practice. For the larger relations of the electrical engineer to his profession and to society, there must be added to all these, intellectual training in the essential elements of a liberal educa- tion. The essential elements for the success of the engineer are a trained judgment and a nicely balanced sense of discrimination, and whatever conduces to these in a liberal education adds new power to a professional career. To turn to the material resources of the electrical department of Armour Institute of Technology, it presents to the student an equipment remarkably complete in many lines. A carefully expended sum of about $75,000.00 has given it an equipment unexcelled in many respects. The newness of the institution, coupled with the rapid advances in the applications of electricity, still leaves much which it will be necessary to complete. This is especially true of the multi-phase apparatus. But the liberality which has marked the establishment of the equipment will no doubt be exercised to its completion. 51 Co my Own Soul EEK not to haste thy bud to blossom, Soul, Thy hot-house hurry blasts its lips of red.

G. 52 Cbe Architectural Department rj S HE Architectural Department of Armour Institute of Technology is known under the title of the Chicago School of Architecture. It was formed by, a union of the Chicago Art Institute and Armour Insti- tute of Technology. This joining of the forces of these two great institutions in 1893 made possible the establishment of a new professional school which will surely take its place, at some time not far distant, in the front rank of the similar schools of this country. While it is an entirely separate institution, with a distinct set of officers, it is closely linked wdth both institutions. The students of this department, although under the disadvantage of attending two schools, some three miles apart, have greater privileges and facilities than the students of either one of the two component insti- tutions. They have two libraries at their disposal. The Art Institute conducts a varied and extensive course of lectures on subjects related to Art, all of which are open to the students of the Chicago School of Architecture. And, as a matter of course, all the lectures, musicals and other entertainments of the Armour Institute of Technology, are open to them also. There are, at present, two courses in the department. A two years’ course and a four years’ course. The two years’ course is similar to the one established by the Art Institute prior to the union with Armour. It has been thought best to continue it for the present. It is similar to the first two years of the four years’ couise, excepting that the mathematical studies do not go beyond those in the Scientific Academy, and no French is required. The four years’ course embodies all the studies necessary for thorough instruction in architec- ture, and is similar to the courses of the older professional schools. The course is the same as those in the other departments of the college, excepting, of course, the technical studies. The Armour Institute of Technology furnishing instruction in mathematics, the sciences and language, while the Art Institute provides for the technical and artistic instruction. The faculty of the Chicago School of Architecture comprises that of the Armour Insti- tute and the following: Louis J. Millet, Dean of the School, who is also Instructor in the School of Design in the Art Institute: Walter F. Shattuck, B.S., Professor in Building Construction, Descriptive Geometry, Graphic Statics and Perspective; William K. Fellows, Ph.B., Instructor in Architectural Design and Drawing, and Mary G. Hess, Instructor in Free Hand Drawing. Mr. Fellows has just returned from abroad, where he has been trav- eling and studying under the Columbian Scholarship in Architecture. The students of this department, at present, number twenty-five; fourteen in the four year’s course, divided among the four years as follows: seniors, two, juniors, two, sopho- mores seven, and freshmen, three; seven in the two years’ course, four being sophomores and three freshmen; and there' are also four students taking special courses in drawing. Besides the clubs and societies of the Art Institute and the Armour Institute of Technology, to most of which they are eligible to membership, the students of this depart- ment have a society all their own. Only graduates and students of the Chicago School of Architecture being eligible for membership. Its object, as stated in its constitution, is “ the advancement of architectural study and the promotion of good fellowship among its mem- bers.” It at present has a membership of twenty-two, and holds its meetings every alternate Friday evening in the Art Institute building. 54 Horace S. Powers. 55 mathematics and Physics Department 4 «4 , IIIS course has been established to meet the wants of persons who, while not caring to take an engineering course, may wish to avail themselves of the I training and associations of a technical institution. To such are offered JIvV not only thorough instruction in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also options in topics selected from the technical courses, and a wide range of other subjects, including history, literature, rhetoric, logic, psychology, biology, Trench, German, political economy and business law. In particular, the course is designed for students who desire thorough instruction in mathematics and physics as a preparation for post-graduate work or for the purpose of teaching. It is tentative in its nature and a wide range of electives will be allowed. Special electives in instrument-making, glass-blowing, photography and manipulation of lecture apparatus will be offered for students who wish to become teachers of physics, and in the history of, and methods of teaching, mathematics for those who wish to become teachers of mathematics. The regular engineering courses of the Treshmen and Sophomore years will be regarded as an equivalent for the first two years of this course. The course as planned is unique in character, but it is believed that the library, the laboratories and the shops of the Institute offer special advantages for the proper prosecution of the work. The development of the work along the lines both of Mathematics and Physics will be so co-ordinated that as the student acquires skill in his Mathematics he will find in the Physics an immediate application of it as well as a continued suggestion of the need of the advanced Mathematics. 56 67 fiistory of ’07 J v J L LY, happy-go-lucky, own-the-whole-earth sort of style,— serious when the occasion required,—with a large capacity for work and a willingness equal to the capacity,— such were some of the characteristics of the Class of ’97, the first that Armour Institute of Technology graduated. It is w’ith no small degree of pride, and for which no pardon is asked, that the writer recalls the achievements of that class both prior and subse- quent to its graduation. Made up, as it was, of young men who were sober and industrious (exceptions are intentionally forgotten),— who were there for the purpose of accomplishing the most in the time allotted,— young men who recognized that a diploma is nothing more than a receipt for work done, and that, it is about as much of an indication of what may be done as a receipt for money paid is of an ability to meet future obligations,— it is no surprise that they should be found filling the places they do to-day — and that creditably — positions that many a tried, experienced engineer would gladly accept. Being the first class it was subject to the ups and downs and change-all-arounds of every new institution. In a measure it wTas the dog on which new combinations were tried. It managed to live through,— though somewhat emaciated in the end. No better illustration of the general tone of the class can be given than the following: There came a time one day when the class felt that it was not getting enough work. A committee was promptly appointed to confer with the faculty about the matter. It is reported that some of the professors did not recover for nearly a year from the shock of a class asking for more work to do. Be it said that the desires of the class were promptly fulfilled. On another occasion it was decided that too much work was being given for proper assimilation. The mental digestive powers of the class were diagnosed and subsequent meals apportioned thereto. Some time during the second year of its existence, if the recollection of the writer serves him aright, the class organized and elected such officers as were needed, the same to hold their positions during good behavior until “graduation, death or desertion.” No constitu- tion was drafted. The president was given almost dictatorial powers as regarded the calling of meetings, etc. Being a pioneer class its organization strongly resembled that of most pioneers an organization adapted to quick action in case of emergency. The spirit of investigation—original research—was a noticeable characteristic of the class —markedly so at times. Prompted by this all-consuming desire to find out things, a member at one time tested the 110 volt mains with a milli-voltmeter, “just to see what it would do.” To the uninitiated it might be remarked that it would have been equally appropriate to attempt to pry up a boulder with a toothpick. There was a flash, some 5 } 58 smoke, and the indefatigable investigator found he had all the “results” for which he cared to pay. In chemistry it was no uncommon thing for this interrogatory spirit to break out while waiting for a precipitate to “evaporate to dryness.” It wras frequently manifested in the attempt to see how much water, when quietly applied by means of a wash-bottle, a certain handkerchief could hold by capillarity,— said article for the time being occupying the hip pocket of some industrious, though perhaps not devoted, disciple of Fresenius. When the owner of the handkerchief made the anticipated discovery it was usual for the investigator to adjourn and let him think it over. The first day that the class entered the blacksmith shop it assumed a reckless air of abandon that displayed itself in flying pieces of hot iron, wild sledge-hammer blows, and pyrotechnic displays of burning steel. In a few days, after several members had indulged in the recreation of picking up pieces of iron and steel that “looked cold” but felt different, there was thrown over the inquisitive spirit a sort of mantle of caution that manifested itself in first delicately touching every piece of iron before attempting to handle it, even though it had lain for a week. To do justice to the history of this class would require the pen of a Gibbon or a MaCauley. The present writer hasn’t the time. As a class, its history ended some time in June, ’97. The exact date is not clear in the memory of the undersigned. There were several banquets that week. Even in this brief interval of eight months the class has become scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A few short years and it will suffer the fate of all college classes— sink into oblivion and matrimony. The class may have had its faults, though they were never discovered by any member. It had aspirations—great, large, rosy ones. Its destiny, or rather the destiny of the men who comprised it, is a question left to the seers and prophets. However, it is the earnest wish of its humble historian that the hopes of youth, ripening into the resolutions of man- hood, may some day give to the world the fruit of an honest purpose—a good work well done. 61 Cbe Class of ’07 . .St |ERE ’S to the Senior (each dog has his day), Here ’s to the Soph and his folly, Here’s to the Freshman, all verdant and gay.

As fixed as the well shot arrow in its mark, so fixed is the position of the class of 189S in the life history of “Armour.” We lay claim to many interesting ideas tenable with us, convinced, with just pride, that we have realized our great heritage. Therefore permit me, gentle reader, formally to present to you the first Genuine Senior class of Armour Institute of Technology. Even now the blat of the lower classmen reaches my ears and I hear the same yearly call to their Gods to mark them in some manner of distinction that the world might know their High Selection. But such a manifestation has never occurred. Ah! never shall it occur. As long as ye shall read the Integral there shall ye find the same bombastic attempt, thrice repeated, to approach by artifice and sputtering logic the realm of the Senior. The experience of millions of 1'reshmen, Sophomores and Juniors through a thousand years and more is to them of no avail. We calmly hold a place prepared for us by tradition and the powerful cabal of several hundred very high priced annuals. Through political and martial chaos have we passed and none dare now resent our sway. Therefore we advance to our first proposition. We are Seniors. And no further words are of necessity. ’Tis proved by a momentary return to consciousness or an examination of any standard History . Now to advance further and to a field for reason. Some few months ago there was an exodus from out our gates of an ill tutored crowd. Tong had they fed at our tables; much dyspepsia (5 cents per cut) had they obtained at the phantom lunch counter. Once a week through four years of daily car fare did this aggregation dispatch a committee to the first floor. They were an abomination to the office. In sheer desperation their committee was finally met and the terms of release were these: If, when June, 1897, shall come, these men (for there was but one boy in the class, and he over-grown) would depart, then would the authorities call them members of the first class of Armour. And so it came to pass. They are gone and the place shall know them no more. During the last term of attendance their reputations suffered a still further decline. Mr. J. J. Wheeler, Esq., obtained newspaper recognition for long endurance in the management of a gas engine Vide—Hatch Tramping through the West,” Vol. 1, pg. 13. 64 ms]ocl? ;l1 u II I’c'lltn j i L n Fiandi'r j i| DNlar,hcn ie.

Others of that body were equally notorious. They burned out dynamos, tore up transformers, revelled nights and slept in class. Little wonder indeed that our authorities should capitulate. It was praiseworthy in them to remember us. For four years that First Class had been tested with every old thing in the way of a course. We must appreciate their endurance. What does all this teach us? Can we, who know the facts as they are, permit such deception on an unsuspecting public? Most of these graduates are on dad’s wood- pile yet. So for the love of old Armour we will throw a mantle of charity over them and their breaks. Have I need of words to further fix our Record scroll in highest niche at Armour? (The class of ’98 will here say Amen.) With our noble class, the four years have brought splendid results. A complete course has been ours. There are no empty folds in our grey matter. We have ever been the pride of the faculty. Scarce a convocation of that corps extraordinaire has passed in four years, without a praise meeting over our illustrious “conditions”. Our Freshmen ranks were strong. Few there are here now to remember the first Field Meet—but those who attended Armour four years ago can’t forget the Athletic Strength of ’98. Indeed we won the most points. Many a strong man has left us—among our ex-members we can recall Apfel, Aspinwall, McCready, Coghill, Ewald, Wood, Wilhoit (now with ’99), Humiston, Green, Harris, Kavanaugh and Shewel. These men are, almost without exception, doing good work in the practical world. Our numbers are now few but our activity should be an example for all. Cupid and the Faculty have left tis singularly alone. We have learned all that our authors ever knew and we have discovered many things they dream’t not of. Behold our original investigator, the Worthy Deeper— watch him as he treads our Halls with step so light, ever buoyed up by the knowledge of approaching success in his chosen field of inves- tigation, the ice machine. E. E. Blodgett—our own E square—the pride of Englewood, who hopes soon to sink into the soft snap of city inspector at 25c per lamp. No revelation has come regarding the destinies of the rest of us. The mighty Hindert will soon leave for the groves and dells of Minonk, diploma in hand. Too bad that this man’s last Foot Ball Season has been valueless to him. In the midst of our first Commencement Season we banqueted our predecessors right royally. And the jokes perpetrated by ’98 were warranted as fresh as any used on that occasion. Finally we guarantee that our class colors shall not offend—that our class pin shall be 18K fine—that our coats for Commencement Day shall fit just as well as a $2.00 a day coat can. What more can be desired? The vexations of school life are almost over; we’ve taken our turn at the Fount of Knowledge. Soon the world will hold us in a cold, pitiless grasp. Then shall our hearts be warm for Alma Mater. What success is ours to attain- what help we can offer mankind—the motive of it all, the ground work of our lives has been laid in class rooms under the kindly eyes of splendid masters. Sirs, we appreciate this opportunity, and in farewell will say that through future years “Our” Professors shall lead us still. May the achievements of the class of ’98 be helpful to you in finish- ing your days of service to mankind. Vale. 4 67 Organization of the Senior Class •t V79 Officers President—R. H.

Slaker 68 fiistory of tbe Class of jt j j F' .it should appear to the kind reader, upon perusing the above title, that a place has been given in this book to something that is too well known to the students of our college to need the pen of a historian to record, he must not turn with impatience to the advertisements, or other equally interesting matter, and neglect this essential article, but must remember that when new, timid I'reshmen—in contradistinction to old, own-everything Freshmen— enter our classic halls and sit peacefully in their lecture rooms, waiting for some tardy Prof’s appearance, listening enraptured to the sweet symphonies made by the concord of clanging bells and rushing wheels, they will need this history to stir them to energetic battles with chairs, desks and other peaceable firearms. Yes, thirty-seven years hence, when dear Armour in an exuberance of joy will have extended its present quarters by acquiring the use of three, or per- haps—who can tell—four of the adjacent blocks, the new, timid I'reshmen will look over these pages and at once call an important special meeting, and after calm deliberation, adopt some such resolution as the follow- ing: Whereas, The annals of the school show upon its pages the life of a great class called the Class of ’99, and WHEREAS, I'rom its history we note that it was composed of men of character, energy, good fellowship and scholarship, and Whereas, The class as a whole appeared to have a heart that went out in sympathy to all members of the opposite sex, therefore be it Resolved, That the Class of 1935 “stick by” each other in an earnest, if not successful, endeavor to emulate the famed Class of ’99. Thus, kind reader, you see that by this means class spirit will be developed and Armour’s fame extended. So peruse this history as you would re-read one of Shakespeare’s plays— enjoy its literary excellence and laugh and sob again at the things you know so well. The Class of ’99 was born on September 13th, 1895. The faculty, for some unexplained reason, did not have a brass band or the glee club on hand to meet us. It has developed since then that the glee club and Class of ’99 are almost synonomous organizations—hence its failure to appear. Some one started a petition to the President, however, to get a written apology from the faculty for its neglect in not pro- viding a brass band; but two members objected to signing this petition on the ground that the class failed to officially notify the faculty of its birth. Of course the petition fell through—the Class of ’99 never acts except unanimously. The first day on earth was spent in wandering around the corridors gazing at one another, “ ponying up ” to the regis- trar, and looking with admiring awe at the rotund paunch of “Papa” H-------ch as he delivered to us sage words on the 70 Petitions have always been ’99 s specialty. infinitesimal theory and empirical practice of the Boston-Tech-Faunce method of mechanical drawing. The fall term that followed served to dove-tail us into a joint that needed no sawdust and glue to fill the cracks. We became as one, and since that time have acted as one. Let the future aspirant for such honors as ’99 has gained note well this (.) point! During the three months of this term we became intimately acquainted with a certain instructor of mathematics who had a tendency to become “balled up,” but, owing to the considerate treat- ment he received at our hands, did not become mixed more than an average of 6' 2 times per recitation period. In this short space of time, three months, we almost ceased to tremble at the sound of “Papa” H------ch’s pompous voice. In point of fact, we began to have a suspicion that he was not as great a man as the President of the United States, and it commenced to be whispered around that the Board of Trustees had not given him a half interest in the school. Christmas vacation was looked forward to with mitigated joy, for between us and that much needed period of rest lay a grim bogie man in the shape of the term examinations. ’99, be it known, did not sit still and wait with trembling for the coming of this monster ; but the gas company was notified to increase the capacity of its meters in the houses of its members, so that more light might be thrown on certain dark and intri- cate subjects. Many a time and oft, during that pre-examination period, that same old pre-exam, sally was indulged in, namely, that we were so anxious for the examinations to come that we staid up late nights simply to enjoy the pleasure of anticipation. It was rumored at a later period that the class staid up so late those nights that when the examinations actually arrived it was too weary to do full justice to itself. However that may be, we came back from the vacation with broad smiles on our faces, apparently as happy as if no such thing as a flunk existed on this mundane sphere, and congratulated one another on our varying successes in the aforesaid exams. Time went on (as time will), and at intervals the monotony of the class-room was relieved by curtain-lectures, delivered by various professors, on the propriety of playing baseball with the furniture. Save these little diversions, the winter was composed of hard study and harder examinations. Each of the several professors always made it a point to impress upon us the importance, nay, the necessity, of devoting at least two hours each evening to his subject alone. Ninety-nine always loved to grant Prof’s little whims, but owing to our unfortunate physical construction that demanded a minimum of two hours sleep out of.each twenty-four, we were compelled not infrequently, to disappoint one or more of them. This is quoted as a feature of the winter term: “ ’Tis not so, oh, sad, sad thing: to tell. This is a feature of every term as well.” ANONYMOUS. In the joyous spring term, ’99 showed itself to be a power that would never have to stand defeat in Armour Institute of Technology athletics. The Field Day of ’96 was composed of a series of monumental victories for us. ♦Kindness of the class statistician. 73 At the end of the long summer vacation, the class slightly diminished in point of numbers, came back and we held our heads high in the proud realization of the fact that we were Sophs. Yes, noble Sophomores! It seemed hard to believe that but a short year ago we were in the boots of the green Looking Freshmen, who, from their appearance, would cause many a good professor to grow gray haired trying to help them climb the steep and tortuous paths of scien- tific knowledge. As Sophomores, however, we were by no means the traditional second year’s men—we were not bigoted; we merely did things that commanded respect. We furnished musical talent for the musical clubs; football talent for the football teams; literary talent for the literary societies, and baseball talent for the baseball club. We partly established the honor system in our examinations and probably, this year will completely establish it. We held the first class banquet that Armour Institute of Technology has produced, and through our untiring efforts, we induced the faculty to tender to the college frequent receptions. In that same Sophomore year, we challenged the whole college to meet us in combat on the track and field, and came within an ace of defeating them. We came out victorious in a gallant fight with the intricacies of “ Descrip,” not a man having failed to pass his final exam. The first case on record! We listened with Spartan patience to stale jokes resurrected from the dead by a certain instructor of machine drawing, and even made a gallant attempt to laugh at them. Oh! We did many noble things! We defeated the class of ’00 in a game of base ball; score, 48 to 14. That tells the tale. But the greatest of all our achievements speaks for itself. We originated, planned, and gave an active beginning to the idea of issuing this, our proud Integral published in our Junior year, the first Annual, Armour’s students have published. How well we have succeeded in this undertaking, modesty demands that others decide. And now our history must stop. We have reached the half way post in our career, and as we gaze back on the two years of study, the hard word and irritating happen- ings are hidden in the almost impenetrable mist of willing forgetfulness, and standing boldly forward from this dark background illuminated by the bright light of fond re- membrances, we see with grateful hearts those delightful occurrences which have made our college course worth taking. Whatever difficulties the two remaining years have in store for us, be assured, that the Class of Ninety - nine will overcome them, and that when in eighteen hundred and ninety-nine we are launched forth upon the tempestuous sea of business life, our dear Alma Mater can have the confident belief that we will steer our ships, through wind and storm, straight to the safe ports of success in our various professions, and thus prove an everlasting honor to our beloved Armour Institute of Technology. 74 Officers President—Erle Sidney Roos Secretary—Edd V.

Main Hall—Armour Institute of Technology 79 Sophomore fiistory ■ S r.aJT September, ’95, we began to be. We spent the first two or three days in looking around at what we were told were the “Profs.,” of all of whom we formed favorable opinions; then, later, when we had more solid ground on which to base our views, we began to — but possibly it would be best to stop, lest some might feel embarassed at receiving praise of which they modestly deem themselves unworthy. It is a noticeable trait of all truly brilliant men that they never force themselves into public notice, and that they dislike to have their merits publicly lauded. We had a fairly large class, and the members thereof immediately proceeded to distin- guish themselves, both severally and collectively. We were always noted for our class loyalty and for eagerness on the part of each one to do all that he possibly could to further the interests of the organization. This was particularly noticeable in the attendance at our regular meetings, w'hich once reached a number as high as eight. The elections were, therefore, always extremely exciting on account of the large number of candidates for office as compared with the number of voters. It was’t very long before ’99, in its arrogance, expressed a desire to wipe up the gym- nasium floor with us — said wdping to take the form of an indoor athletic meet of about ten events. A prominent member of ’99, after prophesying in a gentle and sympathetic manner about.the coming defeat of 1900, wound up with the remark, cheerfully and condescendingly made, “that it would be the best joke of the year.” It was. ’99 got two or three events — modesty forbids our stating what became of the rest — including the pole vault, half-mile run, 30-yard dash, broad jump, and several others, excepting the wrestling event; we have forgotten what did become of that. Then, too, there was Field Day. To be sure, we didn’t get that mile bicycle, but then — pole vault, broad jump, half-mile bicycle — it might have been a deal worse. And we have things all our own way this year on the Athletic Board, with four members. 80 Especial mention of all of our different classes is unnecessary and would require vol- umes. However, the Electricals desire to put on record their appreciation of the extremely lucid method in which machine drawing was presented during the first five or six weeks of the Autumn Term. They say that it was totally different from the primitive line of action heretofore pursued by schools which were, in no sense, ; de siecle, and they believe that when the great advantages of the system are fully appreciated it will be generally adopted. We have been so long accustomed to being told that the German Universities are far in advance of anything on this side, as regards learning, methods of instruction, etc., that we feel quite puffed up with pride, which is surely pardonable, that such an innovation should have been evolved in all its beauty, here at Armour, and, above all, that 1900 should be the first class to be benefitted thereby. Of our new members this year, there is little to be said. We are not very well acquainted yet, and, under the circumstances, we think it best not to make any personal remarks or comments, but merely to give a list of their names to show that they are, by no means, for- gotten. The list is as follows: (Compiled from statistics furnished at the beginning of the year through the kindness of several instructors.) Flint Hansmann Sklovosky SOUSLEY WEDLEY We have suffered a great loss since last year in the person of a member of German extraction who is said to have taken a freight for Streator, last June, and gone back to the farm, thereby realizing a wish privately expressed by one of the lights of the Electrical Department, said light having gained several pounds in weight and appearing more robust this year than last, presumably as a direct result of the fulfillment of the above-mentioned wish. We shall never forget him and his “ Well, Professor,” nor shall we soon forget the dark- eyed damsel who wrangles over Industrial History with our loquacious instructor (who is not a Professor, by the way) ; but, Professor or not, the class of 1900 will forge ahead, sur- mounting all difficulties, creating as little disturbance as possible, and finally by thrift, per- severance, and ability, will endeavor to make such a name for itself that Armour will be proud to say, ‘‘Well done, my sons, the palm is yours.” 83 Co ’oi v HE golderndest, homeliest jay ’At ever come to college, Yet I’m gitting in the way O’ ’cumulatin’ knowledge.

And the difficulties which confronted Sallus are increased many fold, when there is no history to write. He complained of the troubles of writing of “acts accomplished,’’ and enlarged upon the glory to be gained by the historian’s achievement. How much greater, then, must be the obstacles in the path of the historian whose res gestas are still unaccomplished, and whose glory is a vision of the far distant future. To say that the class of 1901 contains all the students worth mentioning in Armour, would not be true. There are a few Seniors. To say that the greatest aggregation of intellectual brilliancy, the most monumental collection of football and other genius of the student body is contained among its members, would not be becoming. Such a statement would also be unnecessary. The position which this class has held since its organization is unique. No class has ever dared, or wished, to compete with it. Our first meeting was held, and the class organized, late in September, ’97. The business consisted of the adoption of a Constitution, the election of officers, and last, but not least, the collection of dues. Owing to the recognized pre-eminence of the class, nothing further was necessary. In one of our class meetings, an outsider, even though of extraordinary intelligence for an outsider, is completely lost—in fact, swamped. Since our organization, we have taken a back seat, as it were, in the activity of the various classes, and have held no business meetings. This is due, no doubt, to the wholesome fear of the members that the next meeting will bring a special assessment. The most important recent event in our history was the taking of the class picture. Notwithstanding the frantic efforts of one insane Junior to get into the picture and ruin the general appearance of learning thereof, and, failing in that, to create disorder among our ranks, the patience of our photographer was at last rewarded, and our face, as a class, adorns a page of the Integral. The college knows well of the origin of the “F'ulcrum,” and mere mention of that word will suffice. Conscious as we are of our superiority in the future, we have chosen no colors except the yellow and black of Armour. Those were chosen for us, and we have kindly accepted them. This was done partly for economic reasons. A college man is supposed to feel a certain thrill of loyalty when he beholds the colors of his class, even on a yellow dog. But he must also thrill at the sight of the school colors. It is, therefore, evident that a great and useless amount of thrilling is saved by having only one set of colors. It also saves ribbon. With a steady, unfaltering purpose, we follow the course of the acquisition of knowledge, we tread in the path worn by the feet of scholars. We aim to become, by patient, persevering, constant effort, the greatest, the most original, and the most famous class that shall ever have gone out before Commencement Day, 1901, from the classic halls of Armour Tech. 86 Illuminated Window Presented to the Institute by the Class of ’97.

They are not, in truth, what men have portrayed them. ‘ Tis true some have recently left their rustic places of birth and brought with them the emblem of agricultural pursuits entwined in their unmown locks. Some wear a faded garb and rest their feet on pegged soles, but underneath, within, and above all this, there beats a heart, not contrite indeed but patriotic, full of honest purposes, noble aspirations and lofty sentiments. Why malign this untutored existence ? Why hurl opprobrious epithets at these ? Out of what have all ye come who do these things ? From whence Gov. Tanner, Prof. Bley, and short circuit “ Huey?” Let fools revel in ridiculous raving, but, for me and mine, we shall praise the Preps. These are they who dare and do, who on (k)nightly adventures are of all the best. There was a Prepdom. humble of spirit, bashful, modest, uncon- scious of self,— that Prepdom is past. There is a Prepdom, living, growing, contesting, courting, banqueting, eye-glassed, striped- trousered , curly - haired, — that Prepdom is now. It is time the crooked ways were made straight,— that the curtain should be drawn aside and men, impartial and unprejudiced, should see and know the characteristics of this brigade that lives and moves and has its being in this Mecca of the learned. Then should all, not revile but revere, not scorn but salute, these embryo collegians. 96 E AATC o 03 FTKR the enthusiasm, due to the opening of an institution of learning such as J (ft the Armour Institute, had practically subsided, after instructors had been M K� met, books procured, and the general newness of things had worn off, it x occurred to some of the students that the formation of a debating society was the next thing in order. Accordingly word was passed to a few who wrere similarly inclined, and a meeting was called. From this meeting dates the acquaintance of many of the men who laid the foundation of what is now known as “The Senate Society of Armour Institute of Technology.” The object of the Senate, as stated in the Constitution, is to “study the Arts and Sciences, to debate, and to advance the social welfare of its members.” The charter members were as follows: Messrs. W. S. Ferris, W. T. Apmadoc, A. R. Shannon, J. R. Ilauch, R. N. Stewart, W. J. Gordon, H. H. Barclay, W. H. Fiendt, Jr., J. W. O’Leary, and C. L. Tarbell. All male members of Armour Institute of Technology are eligible to membership, but it was thought best to limit the number of active members to twenty-five, in order that each man might take part in the literary program as often as possible and consequently acquire the ability of addressing an audience. Notes are not allowed to speakers without special consent from the Literary Committee. This is seldom sought, however, since the members appreciate the value of being able to follow their subject unhampered by papers, and are eager to avail themselves of the advantages which the programs and open meetings offer to them. Members are called upon frequently by the chair to speak extemporaneously upon miscellaneous subjects; also after every vacation each member gives the society an account of what he has seen during that time. The new organization started into work as unconscious of the pitfalls of parliamentary law as though “Roberts’ Rules of Order” had never seen the light, but one day a certain malicious member found the volume, and for no other reason than to see the “chair in doubt,” brought up a motion whose order of precedence none but himself could tell. The excitement was intense! Pandemonium reigned, and the air was full of question marks and tooth picks! From whence comes this being, and continuing thus, where shall he end? (Loud cries of vengeance.) Shall we be run to death by being compelled to follow at the 98 heels of an A. I). T. messenger boy for an hour, or shall he suffer a slow death by electro- cution? All was chaos, when suddenly the room became as dark as a night in the forest during a storm—the engineer had turned off the lights. Later the source of his wonderful knowledge was discovered, and from that time on it became a fad to introduce intricate points in parliamentary practice until all were familiar with them. Time passed on and the Senators, longing for new fields of usefulness, resolved to start a college paper. After all the plans were laid, costs computed and arrangements made for publishing, a committee was appointed to wait upon the President of the Institute and lay the matter before him, asking for his permission and help in the enterprise. The paper has never been published. % What was to be done next was the question, when a certain 1'erris arose and proposed that each member cultivate a goatee “one-half inch square.” Despite the most desperate efforts of the beardless youths, the motion was carried, and at the next meeting when the members were called forth to produce their “growth” or show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court, ’twas only by the cool headed rulings of the President that a panic was averted. Jim Wiley is said to have been so mortified that he took dust from the floor and applied it to the spot where the hair should have been, rather than confess a total failure. The President and I'aculty of the Institute are ex-officio honorary members of the Senate, and occasionally men who have been raised to the highest offices by the people have been placed upon our membership list. Accordingly when Grover Cleveland was re-elected in ’92 by such a large majority the Senate immediately did him the honor to place his name on the list. We do not discriminate between political parties, and it was only the effects of a then recent banquet upon our treasury that prevented us from sending an embossed copy of congratulations to Major McKinley after his election in ’96. We meet every Friday at 5 o’clock, and have a literary program and business meeting usually lasting from one hour to an hour and a half. The meeting is the happiest hour in the week, but the greatest of all great joys is occasioned on that one evening in the year when the Senate holds its annual banquet. There it is the pleasure of the old and the privilege of the new members to meet the men who have left us to take up their work in the practical walks of life. Together w’e enjoy the stories of “A” and the wonderful love exploits of “B,” while we “drink our-------------with laughter free.” The feelings which the members have toward the Senate is best told by the following scrap of conversation which took place between three members as they left the last banquet. (A.) “I’m proud to be a member of the Senate.” (B.) “It’s the best thing out.” (C.) “You bet.” 101 The malicious member, not the engineer. Officers Wili, D. Matthews Kdd. V. Starkweather Eugene W.

Bippus President Vice- President Secretary Treasurer 102 103 -3E5- z - f r T is my privilege to chronicle for the benefit of posterity the history of an organization comprising the most transcendent talent and the most peerless beauty that ever trod the classic boards of Armour Institute of Technology. The name of this organization is the “Paragraph Club,” the signifi- cance of the name being that it hopes in the near future to become a “Chapter” in a fraternity. The object of the club, as modestly set forth in the constitution, is, “the promotion of the social qualities of the members.” It has many other lofty aims, however, such as, charity, self culture, the introduction of civilization into the Institute, the promotion of, and the greatest good to the greatest number. The disposition of the club is proud and reliant, bold and defiant, yet sweet and alluring, long suffering and enduring. The personnel of the club is aggressive and progressive, enterprising and up to date. The early accounts of this world-famous organization are so confused with mythology that it is impossible to separate history from fiction. All that is recorded is a series of propositions and disputes, a great many arguments, and much contention, but from this entanglement of strife and bloodshed arises the majestic form of John O'Leary, calm and unruffled (some maintain it was Charles Malcolmson), with yet a new proposition, which is the frame work upon which the present organization was built. This proposition was that a certain number of students from the Technical and Engineering departments should organ- ize into a club which should eventually become a chapter in a fraternity. The members from out of town should live in the club rooms and the rent paid by them should defray current expenses. It is recorded, I believe, that but one man disapproved of this propo- sition, several were indifferent, but the greater number were enthusiastic about it. Meetings were held to discuss plans for the organization, and as John O’Leary was the father of the scheme, it was unanimously decided to elect him president. Many have noticed a similarity in the careers of Mr. O’Leary and his renowned forefather, George Washington. Mr. O'Leary immediately appointed a number of committees (no doubt he borrowed this idea from the United States Senate), for the purpose of submitting the proposition to Dr. Gunsaulus, and for visiting neighboring colleges to investigate the matter of obtaining a chapter. I)r. Gunsaulus favored the scheme, and has aided the club in many ways. 104 Quarters for the club rooms were obtained in one of Mr. Armour’s modern, steam heated and well arranged flats, and the members displayed the taste for which they are celebrated, in furnishing these quarters. Several of the men immediately moved into the rooms. As the members saw their plans one by one materialize, it occured to them that this organization was scarcely adequate, so more meetings were called, a new constitution was drawn up, a charter obtained from the state, and a new president elected. The members deemed it wise to elect a president from the senior class, and accordingly, Charles T. Malcolmson, ’97, was chosen. As the organization was then in running order, and as the chief object of the club, as set forth in the constitution, was training the members to conduct themselves properly in polite society, it was decided that they should begin their practical course in deportment with a house warming at the club rooms. This affair was a howling success, and the club rose to the distinction of being mentioned in the city papers. There never was witnessed a more brilliant array of youth and chivalry. This was the crowning achievement in the life of the club up to that time (May 12, ’97). It was the first opportunity given outsiders to admire the taste of the home-furnishing committee, and the outsiders were very appreciative. Since this time the doors of the club have been open to its friends who are not slow to avail themselves of its hospitality and who watch its growth with deep interest.

This society was to be auxiliary to the reg seemed feasible. By a free discussion of school-room topics and related subjects it was thought that considerable interest might be aroused which would stimulate to greater efforts. Such a plan was outlined and presented to the Dean of the Faculty, by whom it was received kindly and given careful attention. A quiet canvass was made of the College Freshman class — which at that time comprised all the College students — and the general sentiment was greatly in favor of such an organization, but a feeling was shown that its maintenance would require more time than was then at their disposal. The class, owing to unavoidable circumstances, had very heavy and unusual demands made upon it, and rather than invite failure to the organization it was decided to postpone action and await a more favorable opportunity. About a year later — sometime in the winter of 1894-1895 — Messers. Manlove, Humiston and Wilhoit thought the time auspicious for the inauguration of the society and took the first steps toward that end. These worthy gentlemen were so thoroughly imbued with a sense of humility that they concluded it would be presumptuous for mere Freshmen to undertake the task unaided by the superior experience and wisdom of the Sophomores. So Messrs. Sheibley and Rice were consulted and asked to take the lead and add the power of their sophomoric position to the cause. These four gentlemen were thus banded together as a self-constituted committee to perfect the organization. The two college classes were canvassed to ascertain the general attitude on the subject, and, as a result, the committee invited a certain number from each class to attend a mass meeting and there form an organization. Those chosen at this time were selected because of the interest shown and because they could give promise of hearty support. This first meet- ing was held on March 19, 1895, and Mr. Rice was elected Chairman, to act until the organ- ization was perfected. A committee consisting of Messrs. Freeman, Sheibley, Neilson, Humiston and Carpenter was appointed to draught the constitution and by-laws. This Committee acted with great care and deliberation, and on May 17th, presented its report. At a meeting held May 27th, the constitution and by-laws were adopted in their entirety and the constitution signed by all present. Twenty charter members were taken, twelve from the Sophomore class and eight from the Freshman class. The election of officers was then held and the society was adjourned to hold its first regular session in the Fall term of the following school year. was in the Fall of 1S93. At that time Mr. Rice conceived the idea that an association of students, selected from those most interested in their school work, would be beneficial to its members. The aim was to form a company of students who would be willing to devote some portion of their time and energy to the study of subjects closely related to those ular school work and was to supplement and add interest to that work in any manner that 110 This meeting was held on October 17, 1S95, and was a very successful one. The subse- quent history of the society may be found in the Secretary’s record, but a glance over the list of papers presented during these last two years will reveal much of interest. The sub- jects are mainly such as are of interest to engineering students, but the element of literary character is not lacking. The papers presented have been written in forcible and entertain- ing style —the degree of favor with which such productions are always received supplying the necessary incentive to careful and conscientious work. Electrical and mechanical subjects naturally constitute the larger part of the topics, for it is within these lines that the school work of the members is principally confined. Sub- jects of a general scientific or philosophical character are often given a place so that no tendency to narrowness or one-sidedness of view will be encouraged by the society. Bio- graphical sketches occupy a conspicuous place and these are always welcome, for progress in large part is measured by the advancement of individuals, and by a study of the masters, we learn to know the results of their labors. Special study of some particular mechanism, a knowledge of which would be beneficial, is encouraged, and the results of tests or individ- ual investigation in laboratory or commercial work are gladly received. In this manner the society became a place for exchange of ideas, and information gathered by one became the common property of all. It was found that men of standing in commercial and professional life were very willing to add their support, and a number of such men have favored the society with their presence and have shown their interest by addressing it on their chosen topics. The membership of the society has always been made up of the best students and has held in its ranks the acknowledged leaders in all branches of school work. It was here that the question of a college paper was taken up, discussed and finally dropped as impracticable at that time. The society undertook to secure the adoption of a college pin and carried it to a successful issue. The very tasty design, which is now the College emblem, was the work of Mr. Malcolmson, one of the Society’s members. Any plan which touched the interests of the student was given due consideration, and it was here that many questions were discussed and settled —the influence of the Society being such that its verdict was accepted as the verdict of the whole student body. But with all the earnest work done by the Society there was still an opportunity for the exercise of the pure fun-loving faculties. The initiation of a new member was the occasion for a less rigid observance of that dignity which each member was supposed to possess, and an occasional “feed” was very enjoyable—it served to increase the feeling of fraternity and goodfellowship so necessary in college life. It also tended to keep our financial accounts in such a state of simplicity that one might say the Treasurer’s reports were of no account at all. The “Technical Society” has always stood in the closest relationship to the faculty and has been favored in many ways. The use of all needful apparatus has at all times been tendered us, and no request has ever been refused when benefit to the Society was at stake. This liberal policy on the part of the faculty shows the esteem in which the efforts of the Society are held, and it behooves each member to exert his influence to maintain these cor- dial relations and to make the Society a power in the student-life of the School. 113 Officers W.

Through vicissitudes of all descriptions the Clubs have succeeded far beyond the expectations of the organizers. Only two months after we had commenced to “grind,” during the first sessions of the Institute, the necessity of giving vocal vent to our feelings was recognized. Mr. Stewart, ’97, called for volunteers for a Glee Club. About forty coming wonders responded willingly, ready to do or die for the cause. Mr. Malmene, of the Department of Music, undertook the task of training this assemblage. After several rehearsals it was decided to abandon the idea of so large a club and effect a reorganization with Mr. Herman L. Walker as director. Mr. R. X. Stewart was elected President, Mr. H. T. Manlove, Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr. T. P. Haughey. Leader and Manager. Coincident with the reorganization of the Glee Club, was the organization of the Banjo and Serenade Clubs, with Mr. S. K. Martin as leader. So much accomplished, those who were to uphold the musical side of the College were selected from the applicants and preparation for our debut made. The first concert! Could any one, with even the semblance of sentiment, ever forget it? After months of patient rehearsing we were, at last, to gain our reward. An audience which filled every nook of the Assembly Hall, aided us to forget our nervousness, by their indulgence and applause. Certainly our initial performance w as a success in every respect, and in spite of the lateness of the season, the latter part of May, the Club secured an engagement at Christ Church. We then felt that such an overloaded treasury as existed should be relieved, and the result was a lake trip. The adventures of that trip, L coming, as it did, at the close of our year’s studies, blotted from our minds all the unpleasant memories of the June “exams.” For an account of the excitement, we always refer to W-l-y. The election for the season ’94-’95 brought no change in the leadership of the Glee Club. In this year, however, the Banjo Club was disbanded owing to lack of material, and a Mandolin Club organized, Mr. B. N. Kavanaugh acting as leader. Mr. J. W. O’Leary became manager of the Clubs. The annual concert was held in December, ’94, followed by a trip through Elgin and Aurora. Early in ’95, Mr. C. E. Freeman assumed charge of the Glee Club, and Mr. J. W. O’Leary succeeded Mr. Kavanaugh as leader of the Mandolin Club. Many successful concerts were given in various parts of the city. The season of ’95-96, brought with it a reorganization of the Banjo Club, with Mr. C. E. Freeman as leader. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs retained the same officers and management. ‘i'li m 1 f - 121 Variety in program was offered through the Serenade Club and Banjo and Vocal Quar- tettes. Our former good success continued, and a well filled treasury and gain in reputation paved the way for even greater success. In the following year, Mr. E. C. White became leader of the Glee Club. Mr. Arthur S. Shaw trained the Mandolin Club, there being no change in management. Certainly, no member had reason to regret his membership in the Club that year, and the fifth’anniversary of our wedding to the art of college music has just passed without a setback to our success. The officers for the year ’97-9S are as follows: Mr. E. C. White, leader of the Glee Club; Mr. G. A. Colburn, leader of the Mandolin Club, and Mr. W. D. Matthews, Manager. The Clubs have given their Fifth Annual Concert at home, and everything seems to indicate a prosperous season. Of original composition by the members of the Club, there has been considerable. The first effort for an “Alma Mater” was made by Mr. Stewart, who wrote words to music of “Where Would I Be.” For three years, Mr. W. T. Apmadoc’s composition, words and music of “Armour,” were sung. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Colburn did much in this direction for the Mandolin Club, Mr. Shaw’s compositions being “Armour Tech. Two-step,” “Serenade,” and “Ninety-Seven Patrol.” Mr. Colburn’s, “La Sodales Waltzes” and the “Tin Soldier March,” the latter rendered by both clubs. Mr. Freeman also added his name to those who originate good music, through his composition for the Banjo. Primarily, we have had to discuss only the history of the clubs. The good times have their place in the memory of each and every member and ex-member, while the hardships we try to forget that we may always sing, truthfully: “ In merry mood are wo, Oh, Armour! Our songs to thee we sing, In every heart there’s joy, Oh, Armour! To thee we homage bring. ‘ Within thy walls we hear the calls Of Science and of Art. Then here’s to thee a rousing glee That show’s the grateful heart— Rah-rah! Rah-rah! Rah-rah!” • Reproduced from a sketch made at the time by one of the Club members - name withheld. 122 ARMOUR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GLEES MANDOLIN «. CLVBS Glee Club 1st TENORS T. P. Haughey R. N.

In order to transact any business it was necessary to call a meeting of the entire college, which greatly hampered any aciion. At the end of college year, 1895, at a meeting of the college, the entire control of Athletics was placed in the hands of a student board. This scheme proved such a success that the following year an Athletic Association was formed, to promote an interest in Athletics and form a source of permanent income for the expenses of the teams. The members of the Association possess special privileges, and from their ranks is drawn all material for the teams. In order to play on any team or represent the Institute in any contest, it is necessary to be a member of the Athletic Association. The Board of Control, however, did not pass out of existence with the formation of the Association, but continued to exercise its original functions, and has managed Athletics so well that the Athletic year has passed with absolutely no friction between the Board and the student body. The Board, as now constituted, consists of fifteen members, viz.: The managers and captains of the teams, the Athletic instructor, the treasurer and one member from each class of the college, and one member from the Academy. The managers are elected by the Board; the captains by their teams, and the class representatives by their respective classes. The jurisdiction of the Board in student matters is recognized by the Faculty, and its acticn is absolute. The many difficult matters arising during the year are settled in every case to the satisfaction of both sides, and in view of the results of its work, the Board is no longer an experiment, but a permanent success. 129 Class Games «isw Sophomore Electricals vs. Sophomore Mechanicals Score, 22-21 Sophomore Electricals vs. Sopi IOMOR E M EC 11A NIC A I.S Score, 22-23 , 130 Sophomores vs. Freshmen Score, 4S-14 131 EVENT.

It was a particularly gorgeous sweat- er, black with a yellow stripe right across the middle on which was emblazoned the letter “A,” signifying that he was a member of the proud house of Armour. Young C. was a splendid looking fellow' and the sweater wras the noblest of his kind—the combination was stunning. Crampton wore him most of the time, although, as I said before, he w'as a foot ball sweater. There w'as a young woman for whom the sw'eatei took a violent liking. It sent a thrill through his very ribs when she rested her head on his arm, and he went into ecstacies when her lips touched his shoulder. He felt that he wTas making rapid strides tow’ard univer- sal popularity, especially as he never disgraced the polite society into which he was admitted. He was indeed doing finely, but like many another young society favorite, he wrent the pace that kills. He appeared in public morning, noon and evening, so it was not surpris- ing that he soon should have a shrunken, faded air. Crampton soon noticed the change in his friend and was not slow in casting him aside. It was a terrible day! Pen cannot describe the feelings of the outraged sweater — his heart w’as broken and he did not consider matters improved one particle when a younger Crampton happened along and seized upon him. He felt very ignomin- ious indeed, to be adorning a young high school boy who played a very indifferent game and who covered up the “A” because he was not an Armourite. Not the least of his sufferings was the thought that never more w'ould he be permitted to listen to the gentle voice of the one woman. He was no longer sent to the laundry, but w'as “ washed out” at home and was allowed to dry behind the kitchen stove. To say that he was unhappy would be putting it mildly; nor did he receive any consolation from the occasional glimpses of himself, which he w'as allowed to get when his master condescended to look in the glass. Ivach day he grew' more wrinkled, shrunken and faded, until there came a time w'hen even his second master scorned him and he w’as left to languish in the closet. One sad night Mrs. C. w’as looking for something with w’hich to bind a sore throat when she spied the old sweater, and before he could take a long breath or bid him- self good-bye, he w'as minus an arm. He now felt that his humiliation was complete, when, suddenly the cook, arriving on the scene, grabbed him up and threw him over her greasy shoulders while she went to do an errand; he gave one prolonged, convul- sive sob and passed in his checks. A few days later, after having been used to mop the floor he bore no semblance to the proud being who had entered on such a noble career -he was only a rag. 154 155 mu Delta Sigma J Chapter Roll £ Supreme Chapter— ....

Ro(sir2 or2, ’99 157 mu Delta Sigma •J -J HIS fraternity, although but a recent acquisition to the life of Armour Scientific Academy, has already obtained a strong foothold. It is one of the most prominent and progressive of all academical and high school Greek-letter societies, and, as will be seen by reference to the chapter roll, has been surprisingly reinforced during the past year. Four large and flourishing chapters are organized, but have not, as yet, been assigned a permanent position and a letter. Its influence is all for the best, and while it could not be called exclusive, yet the con- ditions surrounding admissions are such that only students whose averages are high and reputations without question may obtain the coveted right to wear the handsome green and gold pin which is the insignia of the Society. It numbers among its ranks, as honorary member, John Phillip Sousa, the famous band leader, and the alumni chapters embrace names of men who are fast becoming famous, both in scientific and literary circles. Unlike a great many secret societies and Greek-letter fraternities, the Mu Delta Sigma has the unqualified approval of the faculty. In other cities where the chapters have had a longer and more intimate association with the school life, they are looked upon as being vast helps toward maintaining the highest standards in class work and athletics. Owing to the conditions which obtain in any academy located in a metropolitan district, there is usually an almost entire absence of fraternal spirit among the students. The new Society upholds friendship as a cardinal virtue, and for this reason, if for no other, will be warmly welcomed to the ranks of our associations. 158 the Department of Domestic Arts J .J IvS is one of the most popular departments of the Institute; the reason probably being that when a young lady has mastered the subjects taught she is almost within the goal of matrimony. The range of subjects within its jurisdiction extends throughout the dominion of home economics. Cooking, both as an art and as a science, household economics, hygiene and home nursing, sewing, dressmaking and millinery are its distinguishing features. Lectures, practically illustrated, are of the essence of the imparted instruction. Its uses are not confined to the professional chef, the mistress of the mansion, or the fashionable modiste, but it embraces subjects found in every phase of domestic life. Hither comes the slave of convention, accustomed to do only as “mother used to do”—chafing under the difficulties of reconciling ancient methods to modern appliances; hither comes the housewife, anxious to lighten her labors and make home more attractive; the maid of sixteen comes, ready for induction into the mysteries of the craft; conies, too, her elder sister, who finds it difficult to rivet her attention upon the instruction so long as the glare of her own engagement ring divides it — and, truth to tell, to this coni they come at last, most of them. Hither come many to unlearn the old, and learn the new,— to learn that dispensation means “ Sweetness and Light.” The propaganda of the department necessarily includes hygiene in the home and for its inmates, intelligence added to tenderness. Use and ornament in bodily apparel receive their proper consideration. From the simplest sewing to the most complex dream of a bonnet may be a far cry, but the progress from one to the other is here daily traced and exemplified. Domestic economy is here no mere euphemism; the department practices while and as it preaches. The whole trend of the department’s teaching is toward making one value the actual and the ideal in the home life and its associated details. It strives to reduce a domestic Utopia to actual possession. Not the least of its attractions, particularly to the student of sociology, is its democratic and cosmopolitan character; it makes no distinctions of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Its membership is not socially stratified. The Boulevards, the Avenues, and the Country send their representatives. In fact, it is only cowardice that keeps the so-called sterner sex away. Occasionally a man has had the hardihood to venture on a course in cooking lessons; but the presence of a score of white caps and aprons, duly surmounted by bright eyes and damask cheeks, leaves him in a state of open-mouthed collapse, to the utter destruction of his culinary possibilities. The men may come —if they dare. There is a tradition in the Department of Cooking that once upon a time three men took the course. One finished; the other two were finished. Finally, must it not follow as the day follows the night, that with each department spaciously housed on the entire fourth floor of the Institute, with every modern device and appliance at hand, under the supervision and direction of skilled instructors, that the best in all the students will be evoked? Can it be otherwise than that it all makes for the higher and better life to which some of us unconsciously, and others consciously, with an almost poetic flame, constantly aspire? If 9 Che Department of Shorthand and typewriting The Department of Shorthand and Typewriting came into existence with the rest of the Institute. Both owe their life to the same conditions and the generosity of the same man. Each school realizes this truth, and that is the reason they have marched along, hand in hand, with brotherly love. The Department belongs to what is known as the ‘‘ Associated Departments.” so called chiefly because they do not associate. History naturally divides itself into epochs, and these epochs are in their turn made by important events. The events are of two varieties: Those which affect contemporaneous history and those which affect only the history with which they are connected. The events of the first class are, naturally, of greater importance to the Institution, and, therefore, should be named first. The first incident of importance to affect the Institute materially (for better or for worse), was the birth of this Department. The next event to affect the Institute was the downfall of the first autocratic ruler of the Department, and the establishment of a milder form of government under its present Director — or Dictator. The first named incident is of such obvious importance it is unnecessary to state fully its significance. The second is important because it commemorates the era of prosperity to the Depart- ment, and, therefore, to a marked extent, to the rest of the School. The day the new administration went into effect, the Department began to grow and expand, and has contin- ued to do so ever since. These are the only two issues of vital importance to the rest of the School. There have, however, been a great many internal struggles which have had a decided influence on the Department itself. The first of these was disastrous. There was a percep- tible falling off in the attendance during the first nine months of the School under the first form of government, but the decrease proved to be of only temporary duration. Notwith- standing the sad fact that the establishment was going into decline, the Directors perceiving its hardy qualities, decided that it was capable of going forth from under her protecting wing to conquer, and, consequently, set it out to grapple with the world alone, in order to make room for another associated department. The Shorthand and Typewriting School con- firmed her predictions by taking up its abode in an adjoining flat and flourishing beyond all expectations. Time went on smoothly and peaceably. There was no strife, no bloodshed; nothing of an exciting nature to record. The next occurrence of importance—the next epoch maker —came in the Spring of 1897, when it was found necessary to make over the quarters, in order to make room for the larger number of students desiring admittance. The apartments were made larger aud improved. This is the last event of importance to occur to the Department.

POWERS '’V H.A.MflcClYMENT COURSES PK rsics hbd 183 normal Kindergarten Department The Chicago Free Kindergarten Association, affiliated with Armour Institute and consti- tuting its Normal Kindergarten Department, aims to train women for the education of children according to the truest principles. The necessity for a complete and harmonious development of the child nature has become so generally recognized that a thorough study of the objects pertaining to this end must soon constitute an essential part of the education of every woman. The Free Kindergarten Association has had many years of valuable experience in practical and intellectual lines of work, and therefore offers to its students exceptional advantages. Applicants must give satisfactory evidence of good health, moral character, and of such culture as is requisite for proper standing with the profession and the public. The two classes as now composed consist of seventy young women. Connecticut and Colorado, Minnesota and Alabama, and nearly all of the included and surrounding states are well represented. Last June, twenty six young ladies received diplomas from the Association, having completed the two years course of study. Nearly all of these are teaching this year in the public school kindergartens, under associations, or in private work. 184 Affiliated Departments Che Department of music jt The Department of Music, under the direction of Mr. Otto W. G. Pfefferkorn, became one of the associated departments in 1894. It embraces the following branches of instruction: Pianoforte, Organ and Composition, Voice, Violin, Violoncello, Cornet, Flute, Mandolin, and Harp. .4 Che faculty Is one of the most complete in the city, and is composed as follows: Pianoforte Organ and Composition Voice Culture and Singing Violin ....

These not only serve to stimulate the musical interest of the pupils, but add to the social functions of the Institute. Nothing which could be said about the department would convey as much of an idea of the quality of the work done as will a glance over the following programs, selected at random from among the many which have been rendered since the early days of the Institute: First Faculty Concert January 17,1894 String Quartette in D Major .

HK days of our Summer outing were over, and agreeable to the calling of the school year calendar the fellows were gathering in at “Lincoln Tech” for another quarter’s work. My manner of living was to change somewhat that year. Uncle Bob, with whom up to this time I had lived in the school town of Brighton, had moved too far away for me to continue longer as a student member of his family. So I readily took advantage of my “Frat” house privileges and was installing myself in easy quarters, second floor of the Gamma Sig House that afternoon. My old chums, Norm. Howe and Jay Clarkson, Juniors like myself, had both pulled in ahead of me and the unpacking and arranging of my belongings was progressing in a strictly go-as-you-please style. There we were, all three recounting at one and the same time the varied experiences incident to the summer’s outings of three young men: The girls-fish-girls-pictures-girls-prizes, girls, girls, girls. The floor and furniture was littered with souvenirs, clothing and the usual impedimenta of fellows away at school. Two open trunks had been overhauled, and this “stuff” was mostly new to Norm, and Jay. Bit by bit had been picked out and assigned a place — indeed the walls were bidding fair to reach some state of decorative art. “Say Hal, who lost that? ” as a pink kid ball slipper fell out of a box. “ Well, now you fellows must remember that I came up here from a co-educational school, so no questions asked ” Finally I did unlimber and many a bit of choice school romance I reeled off as this or that reminder of a glorious four years with the girls came to my hands. “What have you for that choice little perch there, old man?” inquired Jay, as he winked at Norm. I took the hint and from out of a secure pocket of the small trunk produced my choicest treasure. Norm, raised up from the pile of pictures which lay scattered about him to reach for this new one. “Say now, Mr. Man, she — I'll bet she has stirred the heart of Harold Foxhall and many an other undergraduate at no far distant time. She’s a picture. I’ll trade you anything I’ve got; why Jay, you’ve not a thing anywhere near her. But Hal who is she, your sister ? tell us,” and all the time those two fellows were raving over that picture in this rather uncomplimentary yet picturesque style I was standing gazing downward, more that pleased, yet saying not a word. In all my experience at the good educational school of Bateman I had not had any, not heard of any, more novel to me than was always brought to my mind as I looked at this picture. In my “Tech” days and vacations “her” picture was always with me. It carried me back to that day of June, 189-, when three-quarters of a hundred strong we (boys and girls) had succeeded to our first degrees. And among all the fair ones on that platform none could approach this one in fairness, in bright, young womanhood. As I sat behind her, she was so beautiful, a poem in white, my eye glanced off to the balcony and there I saw Clara; but the two fellows would have the history of this “case,” as they called it. Norm. 191 dodged off to a “what-not” and came back with his last year's briar, and from the way he and Jay settled themselves it would be easy to see that they knew some lengthy epic was on my tongue. “ Boys, you missed school life most awfully when you passed the usual college life and came straight to Lincoln. Here we are just a grinding, droning, uninteresting lot of young engineers. Of course, this sort of seclusion is best suited for the final touches a man needs before entering his specOlty; yet there is a proper time for living in the real college atmosphere, and few indetd pass through even a smattering of it without the consciousness of touching novel, exciting, yet withal most pleasant, experiences. So the little story I have to weave about that picture is an unwritten chapter common to the lives of several characters at old Bateman. “ I entered that school, without doubt, the humblest Freshman who ever dared to look in the eyes of a Senior. For two years there was not a quieter, more retiring student at the institution. Attention to my necessary studies was my only task. Yet during the second year I was fortunate enough to be spiked by every ‘Frat’ in the school. I say ‘fortunate’ though I joined not, because it seemed to me I could not stand the publicity, the change from my quiet life into that of the gay Greek world. “By the Fall term of our Junior year my baggage was surely growing more burdensome. During that summer there had been visiting in my little country village a young lady from the very seat of Bateman. Somehow I took charge of her and indeed the task was a most wel- come one. Iler nature was as charming as her face. I was at least three years older, but minded not that dif- ference. We were inseparable the entire time of her stay. —1 Immediately upon my return for the Junior year the first —SSpISt- act was a cal1 upon the aforesaid young lady. She was ' ' not one of our college girls and hence I was thrown in with a town crowd. “ Shortly before the World's Fair closed I took a train for the city by the lake to get a final glimpse of the fading wonders of the White City. The journey took up the entire day. On the way I fell in with a young fellow bound for the same destination as myself. His name was lvugene Rowe, his occupation was not important, indeed, he intended going away to some higher school very soon. Now you know fellows, that I’ve always most loyally contended for ‘Old Bateman’ so here was my opportunity. The result was that the next term saw my chance friend Gene a regularly registered student. I kept a kindly lookout over him and he got well settled in a short time. All the while your humble servant was enjoying the company of his town girl, Clara. “ The social position of her parents in the city made my ‘find’ even the more valuable. Clara was of a most loving and lovable temperament. I soon found myself becoming attached to her in bonds of strongest friendship, even of love. But for any feelings I entertained for the young lady I knew they were reciprocated. “ By the way, that’s her picture over there; that square card. Yes, it’s a face tender and full of meaning. My college mates all concluded that my fate was sealed. My attentions to the girl were regular and most persistent. I found I could help her in many ways and these very acts riveted us together the more firmly. I was only a Junior and yet so rapidly was I falling in love with this girl that I knew not where another vacation would land me. “And so passed the first two terms of the Junior year. Young Rowe was progressing and was making a good name for himself in the affairs of the Freshman class. An excellent baritone voice had won him a place on the Y. M. C. A. quartette and his indoor athletic work gave promise of some point work in the field meets of the Spring. And Clara and I were a happy pair in a beautiful world. Spring came, school work lessened. The evening bicycle rides, the Saturday excursions to the woods and the open air parties were our never ending amusements. Affairs between us were of the same happy order, though I was constantly worried at the precipitate love tendencies of the girl. Commencement season returned once more. According to all college traditions my class was the one in charge of the chief events of the week. Among them was the Junior Farewell Hop to the Seniors, a classic event. There were several in my own large class totally unknown to me, and as this 192 was the general condition, there was the custom in arranging for class affairs for the boys to draw for company. My name was drawn with a charming little conservatory student from Missouri. But as the girls slightly outnumbered the boys, our names went back for extra company. Mine drew a second prize, and a young lady totally unknown to’ me, though we had attended the same lectures for a year. Blessed with two girls yet I knew the fellows considered me a lucky man on account of the ‘quality’ of my company. That same day I called upon my two young ladies, both accepted the outcome of the drawing. My second drawing at the class lottery had indeed given me a prize. The night of our reception and hop arrived. My two girls were simply delightful. Under ordinary conditions I care little for dancing—enjoy looking on better than the exer- cise of the floor. “ But that night all was different and the dance was my fascination. Waltz and figure my beautiful prize and myself were whirling through. I was surely enjoying myself in my own free and open style and the close attentions I paid the young lady were only those which a gay nature would call out in a like natured young man. I am sure all attentions were harmless, without thought of anything further. I was at that time reporting for the Mail, a friend of my own age was holding a similar position on the Register staff. In his rounds that evening he entered our reception quarters and saw just what all the others saw, that Harold Foxhall was apparently in the clutches of another girl. “The next evening found me calling upon my good town girl. Together we went to the home of a friend for a little porch party. All was as merry as usual in our little crowd. My reporter friend dropped in and at once loosened up over Foxhall’s duplicity and I thought the little lady rather enjoyed the teasing and helped it along myself. But I missed my guess, whew! On the way home I got in deeper and deeper, from admonition she turned to pleading and tears; it seemed to sicken me, my nature was as free from jealousy as I had imagined her’s to be. You can only guess how glad I was when her home was reached and she was deposited there. I saw that I must quit all attentions to her and I did. “It was the end of the school year and hence the people did not notice as they ordinarily would. But it was a dead stop. Summer bore on very slowly. Just what I was to do the next year I did not know (that is I mean on the matter of company) for every Senior must have his girl and I had vowed there were none at the Ladies’ Hall of my choosing. The fall term opened, Clara and I spoke, were very friendly, but that was all. I was extra busy. The opening reception for all the students came around. I attended in the company of my room-mate. But there at a frappe bowl presided my prize of the spring before. My credit at that stand was likely to be soon exhausted. Just as pretty as a peach and as popular as she was gay. I was free this time to admire and my heart was touched for sure. Soon we were wandering off together and were again acquainted. “ That’s the small beginning of a delightful school year. We were as inseparable as my town girl and myself had been. One day while strolling along most happily together a Senior lady caught up with us and remarked: ‘ You two people do seem to [always enjoy yourselves.’ So we did. My own home was thrown open to the young lady, Edith Wyeth was her name, at our short vacation times. For when I had carried her picture home early in the Fall my mother and father were glad to welcome her, too. It is needless to say that our comradship ripened gradually into love and courtship. The bright days of Commence- ment wTeek were full of sadness for us two. “Through all that year I had seen little of Clara. Commencement morning from my post on the stage of the Auditorium I saw her in the I’ll confess I’ve often wondered whether my course was honorable all through, but it was my only chance to retire from a bad posi- tion. But now stepped in my young protege, Gene, and assumed care over Clara, and I gave them my fullest blessing. She entered college again that next Fall, and from all I heard Gene and she were as happy as any of us could expect to be. So I was entirely eased. Why of course, that’s Edith’s, Miss Wyeth’s picture; and fellows, she is to come up at X’mas when we throw the house open to the girls, then you’ll see the young lady who brought order out of my chaos of love affairs.’’ 193 i d y PMOVR firrtfmr XUt y V ■miui tttfoioAt u CtvVOiM wic.Oavb w tt V U j i kV jaivvnlw V W ia -.H jirjfpr r|r rclfp rrnffpjiF Ppr c|rrp|� jJrc jff} ± 2t HC-f-'-( r-ffrE f-r(f |Tf{frnrf ___L fffcfc mttz.±s± « Vwvuyw autf.

The thought of our first Annual, the crowning glory of ’99, has been with me constantly since its conception. It clings as tightly as did the protege of our honored class mate, J. A. W—1—y, on that memorable day in St. Joe, when he learned so forcibly the truth of that old adage, (slightly modified), “it is not always well to have two strings to one’s ‘ beau In my thought on this volume, I have classified its contents, in my mind, under four headings: Song, Art, Literature and Ilumor. The humor was always plentiful in ’99; the literature could not be lacking after the development of paragraph writing last year; art was often present in the form of the living picture display of the forge wash room, where the towel brigade held sway, and its pictures judged of such value that they were requested to present themselves to higher authorities for awards; and, lastly, ’99 always did hold forth in song, as her membership in the Glee Club proves. To collect the items under such headings has been your privilege. That it has been quickly done, I know; that it has been well done, I am sure; and I hasten to extend to you my heartiest congratulations. Very cordially yours, J. W.

Editors of Integrat, '98— Gentlemen: ou ask me concerning my recollections of college life during the first years of “Armour.” You know that the class which entered A. I. T. as Freshmen in the fall of ’93 were an exceptional lot, being mainly composed of fellows who had been out rubbing up against the world, and found out the value of a dollar for themselves. After acquiring this knowledge they appear to have taken stock and decided to enlarge their earning capacity by the addition of a little theoretical training. Judging from the general tone of the boys along about June, ’97, I know they were dubious as to just where to look for the “jobs.” An abstract from a letter I received is about as follows: “I’ve got a Job! Yes, sir, I, B------ S , have a job, a real, genuine, bona fide job. Just think of it!” But I’m very glad to see how well taken care of most of our fellows are. I have just the space I guess to recall an event or two from past history. I)o you remember, how on Chicago Day at the World's Fair, about fifty of us worked the free lunch route, and actually paralyzed the Midway? Or that little incident during our football practice, when the subject of inquiry was not “who struck Billy Patterson?” but “w’ere’s de felly wot hit Dempsey?”—how Aspinwall squared off and offered to give the necessary information, but the big brother, after sizing him up, decided to listen to an explanation which resulted in Dempsey getting one of the best thrashings ever a kid received. And then that trip to De Kalb, when the “Armour’s” eleven whipped the eleven from the South Side Athletic Club. Any one who took that trip will never forget it. The early days were full of “song and pleasure,” and I am not at all dissatisfied with the lot which threw mein with the boys of ’97. Yours fraternally, J. RICHARD SLOAN. j .j j F. W. Gunsaulus, President. ARMOUR Jessie S. Van Vlibt, Librarian. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CHICAGO Editors ’98 Integral: It is very pleasant to have occasion to stop and think over the early days of the Institute—not so far away, surely, that they have become very dim as yet, but still it is not often in these days that one takes the time to retrospect. When I first saw the Library—in March, ’93—it bore small resemblance to its present self. There was no furniture in the room except our own desks—the books being piled on tables made of long boards laid on saw horses. We were very proud when the cases came and we could get the books up and in order, and then the chairs and tables came, and gradually order was evolved out of chaos. The opening day of school! Surely no one who was there can have forgotten it. How hot it was! Hottest day ever known (at least, so it seemed), and how the throngs of would- be students came down upon us making our erstwhile quiet halls resound. Our ten library school students were of vast importance, and the members of that first class will always seem to us to have been a little brighter and a little dearer than any others. They had a decided advantage, too, in the amount of personal attention which they received from Miss Sharp, which was of untold value to them and which was impossible with any subsequent class. 201 It was during that fir't year that, liking the looks of the boys in the Technical College and wanting to know them better, we one evening changed the library from its business-like aspect to a more home-like one and asked them to come. Each was also privileged to bring a friend of the gentler sex. One.still hears echoes from that evening. During the second winter we got into the habit of meeting, late on Friday afternoons, in the tiny music room at the mission. That was a “ blizzard ” winter, and we never failed to have one on Friday afternoon, but all the jollier were the times we had inside, when the Glee Club woke the echoes with their songs, and many a friendship started or grew over the little cups of tea. Some of our visitors were of a suspicious nature, or from some other cause, became very inquisitive as to the way the tea was made and made frequent trips to the little room used as a pantry, where the girls took turns at superintending. Others, not alone, explored the mysterious, shadowy corners of the chapel. Ours is a steady round of life in the library, occasionally enlivened by some incident, as when, one day, a stout countrywoman came in and asked in stentorian tones, “ Vill you please gif me a catalog so I find out how mooch it cost when a boy learn someding?” If anyone asks for Lord Bacon’s “ Lights of History,” you must know instantly that the book wanted is Lord’s “Beacon Lights of History,” or if it is “ Beside the Bramble Bush” that is called for you must go at once and get “ Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush,” and take care that there is no lurking smile on your lips when you hand it to them. Occasionally, too, there comes a letter from some unknown person asking for a position in the library, the only stated qualification being that she is “ fond of reading,” or “likes the aroma of a library,” or is “a widow with six small children.” If they be as they say, “ fond of reading,” my advice to them is to beware of library positions, as leisure time is there an unknown quantity. % uT9 V' ARMOUR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CHICAGO Chicago, 111., Jan. 15, 1898. Dkar Mr. Editor: Since receiving your request for a letter giving some personal experiences during the early days of the Institute, I have sought to concentrate my mind upon the events of the first two years. Iu trying to “ recombine the wandering images, to snatch them from forgetfulness,” and shape and mould them into some kind of literary form, I have had but indifferent success. But the most treacherous memory must retain a vivid impression of the opening day of Armour Institute. Who could forget that noisy, eager crowd of nine hundred applicants which filled the large auditorium and galleries, while many hung over the railings, all clamoring for admission? The hushed silence and awe that came over that vast multitude as Dr. Gunsaulus raised his hand invoking a blessing upon this undertaking. Then came the separation of the sheep and the goats. Many had come in answer to the call, but not all could be chosen. Mr. Armour and Dr. Gunsaulus had counted upon three hundred applicants and here were thrice that number. Then the edict went forth that some of the departments must hold their classes in the mission building. Like a great mother hen the “magnificent five-story fire-proof building,” as the year book says, spread its wings and gathered beneath them the departments of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Literature and the Domestic Arts, but had no room for the languages; they must seek admission within the holy walls of the Sunday school rooms in the mission building. Accordingly Prof. Monin took possession of the rooms under the organ lofts. Miss Wright gave a classic atmosphere to the teacher’s room, while I with my German brood wandered from Sunday school room to Sunday school room, profaning those hallowed 202 es: i cx. 3 -Q • o S)72 - H «E o -C c- C ut SV-° ?o c-£= v - -G — Cl. —c cT T : precincts with secular teaching. I am sure that we of the Language department could write chapters on the casualties” of a disadvantageous situation. I low often were our medita- tions upon the simplicity of the adjective declension rudely interrupted by the thundering roll of the great organ as it pealed forth a Gloria! The dim religious light (for only through stained glass did the few rays of light which penetrates to this part of the building, reach us) lent a glamour to elementary German, which succeeding classes have missed. Were ever classes interrupted by so many different kinds of music? I recall an occasion when the second bass of the Institute Glee Club, tossing back the Hyperion curl, which seemingly has neither waxed nor waned during these four years, boldly and courageously attacked a slippery verb; suddenly the soprano shriek of a budding prima donna rent the air as well as his grip upon the verb, and we realized that we were next door to the department of Music. Then we moved three doors south. This brought us near the court, which was the favorite stand of that peripatetic instrument, the street piano, and many an adjective was declined forcibly to the tune of “ Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye,” while “Sweet Marie” lost her bloom and sweetness and “Annie Rooney” became a detested female. I have often wondered at the native strength of the love of music manifested by the above mentioned second bass, which could withstand the “endless battery, the measured malice of music,” that so constantly assailel our ears. Finally, owing to increasing demands for more room and the persistent efforts of Prof. Monin iu behalf of his department, several of the flats were fitted out for class rooms and the Languages were invited to come under the roof of the Institute building. It was but a half loaf after all, that was offered us, for Prof. Monin and Miss Wright taught their respective classes in every room except the library and labora- tories, while the German class was literally received under the roof, for the museum on the fifth floor served us as a class room. According to the language of Greece, museums were the homes of the muses. 1 am not sure that the muses are graciously inclined to the study of Elementary German, and according to the Greek acceptance of the word we were probably out of place there; but on the other hand, if the true significance of the word “ museum ” is best brought to our apprehension by an allusion to the ages which preceded its origin, when our ancestors were in the midst of those great migrations which peopled Europe, it was fitting that we who had been in a constant state of migration should finally find a permanent abode in a museum. What an incongruous environment! How often did the wandering glances of students illustrate Prof. Huxley’s description of a museum as a “consultative library of objects,” for they were generally “consulting” the South African collection of deadly weapons and feminine adornments when I fain would have them consult German prose. The prophetic eye of the class artist would linger lovingly on the huge nugget of gold, the size of which would put to shame the most exaggerated find of the Klondike; difficult indeed did he find the readjustment of his golden dreams to the realities of the modal auxiliary. Then there was that grotesque piece of furniture, the chair made of huge horns, which Dr. Gunsaulus invariably pointed out to the visitor as the “German Chair.” After two years of varied experience and wanderings we finally settled down in conventional and orthodox quarters. But I shall always remember with peculiar gratitude the students who braved the winter’s cold and the summer's heat on their way from the Institute to the mission building and the later classes who patiently submitted to the appellation of “German Freaks,” given to them during their sojourn in the museum.

To the Editors of The Integral oj '9S: This may appear to be an odd term to use in connection with an institution which is not yet live years old. but to many of us, it seems perfectly applicable since in that time we have completed our college course. In the early days of the Institute (it had not then added the last two words of the present official title), the Academy predominated. This was due to the fact that the Academy started with four classes, while the College had but one. the great and only class of ’97. Consequently the glee club, foot ball team, and the other student organizations had but few college men among their members. Speaking of the foot ball team. “ That reminds me,” as John Brownell would say, “of the first time we tried to play foot ball.” Our first practice took place in the vacant lot just south of the Webster school, on Wentworth Ave. All of the ” moochers,” larger and small, from that part of the town, came to see what was up. In some unexplained manner they secured the ball, and in attempting to recover it, a scrimmage ensued, during which Yal Hunt landed his good right fist in the immediate locality of the lower jaw of one of ‘‘ de gang.” The result of this was a shower of brick bats and other bats upon the gallant men of Old Armour. We finally held a conference with the enemy, with the result that they expressed their opinion in this manner: “ Well, mebbe youse fellers is all right, but we wants de feller wot hit Dempsey.” However, they never secured Mr. ‘‘Man- Wot-Hit-Dempsey,” and we afterward played foot ball in peace, if such a term is allowable in connection with the game. We were active in other ways also. We had Library and Faculty receptions, ” informals’’ and other social functions, and on the whole thought we were quite “ warm.” We people in the class of ’97, although only Freshmen, had, or thought we had, all of the dignity and prerogatives of seniors, as we were the only class in the college. The present Freshmen, with three classes to look down upon them, cannot appreciate how important we felt. We used to go out to the Worlds Fair with the Profs, on inspection trips to the Electrical Building and Machinery Hall, but often the Midway or some other part of the grounds would seem to our youthful minds to be more attractive than flywheels, generators, and other inanimate objects. If I were to continue telling of the many things that happened during the school year of ’93 and ’94, the Board of Editors would have to get out a heavier Annual than they can afford, so it will save them money if this article is brought to a speedy close. Very truly yours, WILL FARGO SIMS. Editor's Note.—Will the reader please read the letters of our two friends, Sloan and Sims, in parallel. 206 Chicago telephone go. Engineering Dept. Chicago, Iu,., Oct. 23d, 1897. Thk Board of Editors, Integrae— Gentlemen: In response to your inquiry, I would say that to the best of my recollections, about 65 per cent, of the original aggregation, whose roster began, “ Apfel, Aspinwall, Burroughs, Blodgett, etc.,” have broken connection with the class of ’98. A. O. Carpenter, one of our good all-around men of the mechanical persuasion, left school to accept a position with the Paige Iron Works, Chicago. He remained there about four months, when, through the agency of Mr. Dingey, he transferred his services to the Russell Engine Co., Massillon, Ohio. lie left there about a year later in response to a proposition from the Johnson Switch and Signal Co., Johnstown, Pa. I lost track of him at this point. Mr. Ewahl left school at the close of his P'reshman year, to engage in the manufacture of cycle fittings. He is now the head of the Ewald Manufacturing Co., devoted to the production of cycle fittings and high grade hardware specialties. He has twice doubled the capacity of his plant at 41-43 W. Washington street, Chicago, and now is able to utilize six thousand square feet of floor space, employing thirty-five men. He contemplates another extension in the near future. W. S. Ferris, with headquarters at No. 1 W. Washington street, is city buyer for the Creamery Package Manufacturing Co., a concern enjoying an extensive trade in the Northwest. H. E. Martin has a responsible position with the Armour Elevator Co., at 205 La Salle Street. W. F. Sims, a graduate of ’97, and myself, are employed by the Chicago Telephone Co., the local lessee of the American Bell Telephone Co., and we are both satisfied with our field of work. It is a great business. I recently inspected several of the exchanges operated by the New York Telephone Co. This company has seventeen thousand subscribers in New York City, and seventeen thousand in Westchester County. In addition to this, the New York and New Jersey Telephone Co. has enough subscribers in the immediate vicinity to make a total of nearly fifty thousand within a radius of thirty miles about Cortlandt, the principal exchange of New York City. This locality has the largest telephone traffic of any point in the world. Strange to say, however, the traffic at this point is not as dense as it is in Chicago, for the Chicago “Main” exchange, with fewer lines than Cortlandt, has an average of 84,611 calls per day against 58,137 for Cortlandt. The American people utilize the telephone, both for local and long distance work, much more than Europeans. To illustrate this I will mention a single fact. The State of Massachusetts has 23,390 subscribers, making 2,500 calls per year per subscriber. In Europe, Switzerland furnished a parallel with 23,446 subscribers, the sub- scribers averaging but 530 calls per year. Thus the average Massachusetts subscriber uses his telephone nearly five times as much as the average subscribers in Switzerland. These facts are interesting not alone to the telephone fraternity, but to students in general. Thanking you that I may be permitted even this much space in the Souvenir Annual, I am Sincerely yours, JOHN M. HUMISTON, Ex. ’98. 10 207 Hnaconlm Copper fllMning Company IClatcr 'lUorfts Department Anaconda, Montana, Feb. 1, 1898. Editors ’98 Integral: I have been in Montana about three months and can say that I like the country very much. On my way out I stopped off at Jamestown, N. D., and visited with Mr. John A. Masters, whom you will remember as an ex-Arinourite. He is now President of the James- town Electric Light and Power Co., and is doing very nicely. My first work here was assisting in the engineering of the new Anaconda Water Works. At present I am engaged in draughting and arranging details of the long distance transmis- sion between Anaconda and the mountains. Anaconda is not such a small town, after all about 15,000 inhabitants. It is named after the Anaconda Mine in Butte, which is owned by Hogan, Daily and the Rothchilds — the two former holding the controlling interest. The ore is mined in Butte and brought here on the Company’s railroad, where it is smelted and partly refined, after which it is sent to Baltimore, where it is thoroughly refined. The cost of power here is so great that the ore cannot be thoroughly refined; this arrangement, however, will probably be changed when the Company has completed its present plans of developing the water power resources in the mountains. I have taken quite a few trips up the mountains and will say that the scenery is grand. A party of six started out one day on our ponies and rode about six miles to a ranch, where they are working a lime quarry. They treated us with true Western hospitality, and we saw everything, not excluding a good turkey dinner. We visited two extinct geysers where a large mound, about twenty-five feet high, almost conical in shape, has been built up from calcarious deposits of the spring. The well was full and the water luke warm. One Sunday, a party of us went up to Lake Hearst, which is the supply for the reser- voir. The ascent was a very novel and exciting experience, to me, at least. The mountains were covered with a dense forest of mountain pine, spruce and hemlock. The road wound its way through this wood, and often, as we came to a clearing, we saw, for miles down the valley, the snow-capped trees sparkling in the sun. We made the ascent, a distance of four miles to the lower camp on our pipe line from the lake to the reservoir, in about an hour. Here, we had a camp dinner, and perhaps it didn’t taste good! After feeding the horses we started for the lake. The altitude there is about 8,500 feet above sea level and half a mile above Anaconda. We found some difficulty in breathing at such an altitude, and could hardly walk over the slightest hills. The following Sunday we took some girls out and they could hardly get over the novelty of the trip, for they had the honor of being the first ladies to enjoy festivities in the camp. All of the crowd were in fine spirits and the wit flew in seething torrents that kept us all in a constant state of hilarity. In conclusion, I wish to say, that although this is the wildest part of the Wild West, yet, refined society is by no means lacking, and I find that the life of a young engineer, in the employ of the Anaconda Mining Co., is not half bad. Wishing you success, etc., I am Yours very truly, CHARLES T.

The object of this expedition was to make a complete topographical and geographical survey of the four islands comprising the Pribilof Group. Of this party H. J. Slaker and C. H. Roesch, of the class of ’98, A. I. T., became members. On May 5th the party, eleven in all, boarded the revenue cutter “ Bear,” and at sun-down were slowly steaming out of Puget Sound. After coaling up at Departure Bay, Vancouver Island, and stopping a short time at Victoria and Port Townsend, the boat headed for the open Pacific. The “ Bear,” the same boat that rescued Greeley in 1883, is a staunch sea-boat admirably fitted for heavy work in the ice fields in the Artie Ocean. The morning of the 11th found, us slightly under the weather, due to what is sometimes called mal-de-mer, but in plain English, sea-sickness! For several days we managed to take small quantities of beef-tea or something equally light, if only for a few moments. Even the sailors attempted to sympathize with us. On the 18th of May the Shumagin Islands were sighted and at noon the boat anchored opposite Unga, an island in the Aleutian Peninsula. At this place we had the opportunity of visiting a large gold mine, one of the few quartz mines that are in operation in Alaska at the present time. Unalaska and Dutch Harbor were reached on the 20th after passing through a long chain of picturesque islands. Astronomical observations were taken at Unalaska and then on the 22d the “Bear” steamed out into Bering Sea. By 8 o’clock the next morning the Islands were reached, but we were compelled to wait forty-eight hours for a favorable landing. An immense native skin-boat (bidarrah) at last appeared, manned by twelve Aleuts, who proceeded at once to land our instruments and baggage. The Pribilof Group lies about 200 miles north of the Aleutian Islands and consists of four islands, St. Paul, St. George, Otter and Walrus, the latter two being considerably smaller than the others and uninhabited. They are of volcanic formation, some of the craters, especially the one on Otter Island and several on St. Paul, being very distinct and regular in form. The Russians under Pribilof made the first settlement on the Islands in 1786, but they did not assume absolute control of the sealing business until 1799. In the Alaskan purchase, 1870, the Islands with the seals were turned over to the United States. Since 1870 the natives have been taken care of and lead a freer life, quite in contrast to their servile life under the Russians. They were originally Aleutians, but having so long intermingled with other races they seemed to have characteristics belonging to all races from the Negro up to the Caucasian. The inhabitants of the islands are entirely shut off from civilization for seven months of the year. It was no wonder then that we were astonished at their eagerness for news. The two prevailing questions were as to who was elected president and how the prize fight resulted or rather, in the reverse order. During the five months that were spent on the islands, opportunity was taken to make a study of the fur-seal. Very little is known of the movements of this animal during the winter months but every summer the herd returns to these islands. The male seals are the first arrivals in the spring and an interesting sight it is to see the sleek-looking animals struggle for their favorite positions among the rocks. While on the rookeries or breeding grounds the male seal never leaves his position for food during the entire season of three or four months. The female (cow) seal begins to arrive in June and is much smaller and more graceful. After the birth of the pups, the cows go out to sea for food. It is while on these trips after food that so many cows are killed by the pelagic sealers. In the meanwhile the poor 214 little pups are calling for their mothers and gradually starving to death. In 1896, 16,000 pups were starved on St. George and St. Paul Islands. Under the supervision of a government officer, only males, two and three years old, are allowed to be killed. This plan has steadily increased the herd until about 1883 when the pelagic sealers began to kill the seals indiscriminately. The young male seals (holostiak), from which the annual quota of skins are obtained, gather in places entirely separate from the breeding grounds. The drives are made during the months of July and August. Early in the morning several natives slip quietly in between the seals and the sea shore. Then it is an easy task to drive them to the nearest killing-grounds, where the eligible seals are despatched. The skull is so thin that a sharp blow with a hard-wood club is sufficient to kill them. The pelts are then removed by the native skinners, who are remarkably quick and sure in their work. The sea-lion also visits these islands annually. While the meat of the fur-seal furnishes a supply of food for the natives, the various parts of the sea-lion are put to uses that are somewhat peculiar. The skins are deftly sewed together and made into boats, bidarrahs as they are called. The throats of the sea-lion are distended, cleaned and allowed to dry. Then they are used as boot-tops, the soles being made of the flippers. The intestines are treated similiarly and sewed into rain-garments (kamlickas). The stomach walls, when distended and dried, serve to hold dried seal-meat, to be used during the winter. Vast numbers of sea-fowl—auks, arries, parrots, gulls, etc , build their nests every year on the cliffs surrounding the islands. Walrus Island, which is merely a large basaltic rock, was literally covered with these birds and their eggs. The “ Bear ” returned from the North about the middle of October and by the 25th we were on our way homeward. Seattle was safely reached, November 9th, after an uneventful voyage across the Pacific. 1 Unsubstantial as a dream Does my lone Mist-Island seem. With its flower-bespangled moss.

She No I went, but after one of them kicked the ball they all got into a terrible wrangle and I just left. 218 ONE evening after supper I sat down to enjoy a quiet hour or two, and, in some unaccountable way, I began to think. I soon realized the dangers of such a proceeding—brain fever, fits, loss of hair, and the like— and immediately concluded that if I wished to maintain my dignified appearance and thus establish a credit for wisdom and profundity, I must quit. I, therefore, con- cluded to let my massive intellect have a mental picnic— to gambol and frolic on the green swards of the future, and wander pensively over the close - cropped meadows of the past. It looked pretty green ahead—rather brown behind. I began to wonder how it would be ten years from now. In my mental wanderings I soon found myself sitting in a comfortable parlor reading the evening paper. A little fellow comes and leans on my knee. ‘‘Daddy! What’s ’lectricity?” “Electricity! Oh, that’s—why, why that’s—eh; ask your mother over there.” Mother extends a vote of thanks, and displays a discretion in attempting the definition that would have been very acceptable in a good many writers on the subject. I forgot to take up my paper. The child’s question had started me to wondering what had become of that class of young men who, in '93, had started in at Armour Institute on a four years’ course in order that they might be able to answer that very question. It called to mind a remark that was made during the first month of that course: “Young men, when you are asked, ‘What is electricity?’ you can very properly answer, T don’t know.’ But before this course is ended we hope you may be able to add, ‘But I do know some of the things that it does.” Thus I found myself wandering over the past. I thought of the goats that got in among the sheep, and I wondered if I was a goat or a sheep. I wondered what had become of that bright galaxy of stars that constituted the first class —a galaxy like most galaxies, that has had hard work to muster up even a twinkle since. I began to browse over the brown meadow’s of the past—here and there finding a spot untouched—an opportunity missed. “Why,” I thought to myself, “even a goat could have seen that.” But hind sight is much clearer than foresight. Opportunities missed stand out very prominently when the rest have been taken. Here and there I saw a hole in the fence where some member had gone through and wandered off—into matrimony, green fields, tall clover. I ran across a big examination rock that a goat once butted up against and then died. Poor fellow! Peace be to his papers. I found the place where the whole flock took a run and jumped over the fence one day. I saw the tall grass in which we frisked and gamboled for a few days just before being led out through the big gate into the woods and told to scatter. Scatter we did—briars, bushes and tall trees. Here and there you could hear a plaintive bleat that came from farther and farther on, and finally ceased. At this juncture I was called back “to earth” by the heroic struggle of my room-mate with what seemed imminent death by strangulation, caused by the sticking of an unusually large snore. My reverie made me feel sheepish. I concluded to retire, and wrent to sleep, wondering if it were possible for a goat to feel sheepish. 219 Cbe Rock V IS™ TO Armour Students, many of whom have passed by the large stone lying on the Campus across the street from the Institute, it might be interesting to know that the stone is nickel bearing and the largest specimen known to have been taken from the mine and transported. Its weight is nearly two tons. It was sent to the World’s Fair, where it formed a part of the exhibit of the Canadian Copper Co., of Sudsbury, Ontario, Canada. which firm presented it to the Armour Institute of Technology at the close of the Fair. Sudsbury supplies nearly all of the nickel used throughout the world, excepting that which is mined by the convicts of the French Penal Colony. The ore at Sudsbury is converted into a mass composed of nickel, sulphur, etc., which is shipped to the United States or Europe and refined, metallic nickel being thus obtained. � _ . Xfi.'-KiPrWKr Assayists tell us that aside from the nickel-bearing properties of this rock, it contains about eight hundred dollars’ worth of gold. The seals which occupy the case on the fourth floor were captured in the North Atlantic by Capt. J. A. Farquhar, of Halifax, X. S., who, during a cruise of nineteen days early in 1897, captured 15.102 seals. His original gift to the Institute consists of an entire family— male, cow and two pups—but the male was damaged in shipping and rendered unfit for stuffing, so that it will not be until after this year’s expedition that our seal family will be complete. These seals belong to the Phoca genus, sometimes called the Harp seal. The male is a magnificent animal, about one-fourth larger in size than the female. 220 221 the Blight of the morning glories N ___ 4 S I HE Morning Glories had challenged the Four O’Clocks to a game || of base-ball for the inter-class championship honors. The i challenge being promptly accepted, captains were chosen, and the first great work of the year was begun. Every man made a firm resolve to do or “ bust ”—some did, the rest busted. The preliminaries had been arranged, the important day arrived, the two classes with as many others as could find an opportunity to skip, hied themselves away to Washington Park in eager anticipation of the coming affray. What a motley crowd of “celebrities” there were present! No pen could do them justice. There was Tarbell, the crack(ed) athelete; White, the ossified man (sometimes called “ Indian ”); Sidney Swenson, otherwise known as “ Gus ” (the man who could short circuit more standard cells in a minute than any other man living); John O’Leary, the frankfurt; Billie Matthews, the Ham (generally known as Tim); Porter, the only lady in the class; Bippus, the prettiest boy in four counties; Gordon (the only ball player in the crowd) ; Lee, leader of the light horse cavalry; Shubart, the man who, when finding no one else to dispute with, steps on his own toes and hollers, “Get off!”; and others too numerous to mention but none the less prominent. Umpires were chosen, and to the important task of score- keeper was assigned Montchyk of “Why do you laugh, say?” fame. The game was started and oh, Lord! what a wonderful piece of work it proved to be. The pitcher on the “ Morning Glory ” trellis kept the batters jumping sideways, in fact, they went through the whole delsarte movement to avoid being grazed, while the umpire, seeming to have forgotten his native tongue,and to have found but a small fragment of the American food-mixer, yelled “strike,” “foul,” “ball,” all in one breath, the batter thought that he was to “strike at a foul ball ” and, ye Gods! how he struck. The catcher had seven fleet backers who fell over each other in their eager attempts to stop the ball, but the ball continued on its course to the bushes. Lee, out in center-field, ran around after oncoming balls with outstretched hands as though in suppliance to Heaven. Lewis, having properly focussed himself in anticipation of a hot grounder, carefully placed his lily white knees together and allowed the ball to glide gently on, -between his feet, then slowly coming to the conclusion that someone had blundered, he turned nimbly ’round and started after it, as though he was going to take an examination in Mechanics. Having finally captured it and stowed it safely away in his pocket, he brought it in to home in person, and deposited it with the score keeper. Having thus exonorated his balk in the field, he marched slowly back to new conquests as proud as a little boy who has learned to spell “a.” Meanwhile, no delay had been occasioned to the game, Tarbell had had a round with the umpire who refused to recognize the former’s Vermont curves as legitimate strikes. Shubart was tearing up and down the line declaring vengeance on the man who had declared him out; Goodhue rolled around in boyish glee; Pavey, finding foot-power too slow, rode his wheel to third on a three bagger, and so the game continued until Heaven, in mercy, drew a veil of darkness over all the land. Late at night the Morning Glories were slowly pursuing their homeward ways, with heads sunk deeply on their respective and several breasts, even as Napoleon after his defeat at Waterloo.

JL 99 C T MALC°LnS°N IES MOULINS leaned back in his chair and waited. It was already past the hour and She had not arrived. The golden sun poured in through the open widow and filled the little studio with fantastic light. It caught the brilliant hues of an Eastern drapery at the end of the room, and the reflected beams threw a warm, rich color on the face upon an easel, transforming it into tender life. The artist looked at the painting, and a strange light came into his eyes. Was it really six weeks since first he met Her? Yes,— for then the air was heavy with the perfume of June roses, and now the reapers were harvesting the ripened grain. Six weeks of golden, summer weather — of perfect days and moonlight nights; weeks in which he had watched that glorious face grow upon the canvas, prolonging the work as much as possible until now but two days remained, and then all would be over! Would it? He started up, murmuring as his eyes met the painted ones before him — “Never — until eternity — sweet-heart! ” The soft swish of a woman’s gown upon the stair, the little impatient rattle of the door-knob, the delicate perfume of old-fashioned roses, and She stood behind him. “Were you waiting for me? Am I awfully late? Is it not warm? Won’t you begin, please; I’m sorry I — Oh,” coming to a sudden stop before the painting, “it is finished! But it is far too lovely for me.” Then, with quick reproach, “ Why did you not tell me that it was finished? ” Des Moulins threw away his cigarette and began to wash his brushes, taking care to stand where he could watch Her, as he worked. “ It is not quite done yet,” he replied. “ I have some last touches to add. They always take a long time.” “ Do they? ” She asked with innocent wonder, and an evident desire to learn. “ Longer than the first ones? ” “Oh, far longer,” answered I)es Moulins, anxiously washing a new brush. “Then it will never be finished,” She said calmly. Their eyes met, and both laughed merrily, for it was summer and they were young. “ Do you know,” She said, standing with her head half turned, critically examining the painting, “They say I am a Gibson girl.” “Ah! said Des Moulins, “ they are quite wrong. If Mr. Gibson saw you there would be—” He paused. “What?” “A new Gibson girl,” he added. 11 225 She sat down and threw her hat and cloak on a chair near. “ I am ready, please begin.” “ In one moment,” said the artist. lie went into an adjoining room and returned with a great mass of crimson roses-. ‘‘ Oh! magnifiqueX ” he exclaimed, as he placed them in her lap. “ Now I shall paint them so, and call my picture ‘American Beauties,’ and when I return home it will hang in the Salon, and all Paris will say: ‘‘If those are American Beauties let us go to America at once.” Her cheeks took on the color of the roses, and then, smiling at him as he commenced painting, She stared idly through the window across the green fields to the waving wheat beyond. A moment later, Des Moulins threw down his brushes in despair. “ Don’t look like that. If you do I cannot paint you. No artist could find such color as you have, and your eyes — ” lie paused abruptly. But She only laughed merrily and leaned toward him, mischief in every curve and dimple of her tender face. “ How shall I look? ” she asked. “ Shall I — ” Suddenly her smile faded, her eyes grew dark with feeling, and her sensitive lips quivered like rose leaves stirred by the wind. “ I must go,” She murmured. ‘‘It is late; you can finish without .me.” Des Moulins did not seek to detain Her, but rose as she put on her hat. “ Yes,” he said, “ I can paint without you —until tomorrow.” ‘‘But you could finish it alone, could you not?” She repeated earnestly, her eyes intent on his. Des Moulins scarcely understanding, answered lightly: “Mats out, Mademoiselle.” She turned, and picking up a rose, said with still that strange little smile: “ ‘ Here’s a rose, and that’s for remembrance.’ You see I am misquoting.” She laid her hand and the rose in his. “ Do not forget me,” She said. “ Good bye.” The next moment Des Moulins was alone, and the rose lay in his hand. He lit a cigarette and sat down before the picture. The perfect face was still lighted up by the last rays of the dying sun. ‘‘To-morrow I will tell Her. She knows it, but to-morrow I will tell Her, and She will lay her little hands in mine and smile.” The painted eyes and lips smiled back at him. He could almost see the little dimple in her cheek. There was a sudden noise in the stairway, and a friend stumbled in. “ Confound it, old fellow, why do you have your studio away off here? Nearly broke my neck on those stairs. I just dropped in to tell you that the train leaves to-morrow at 6:40. Be sure and come, the boys expect you, and the trap will be sent to the train for you; you have been buried in this hole long enough. Hello! Who’s this? By Jove! a picture of lier! I suppose you did it for Anthony. You know he came down suddenly to-day from New York, and they are to be married to-morrow. Unexpected business — called to Europe —wants his bride with him. They sail the 27th. Just like his luck, falls in for a mint of money and gets the prettiest girl in the land. Well, old fellow, must leave you. Don’t fail us to-morrow. An revoir.” Des Moulins sat staring at the picture. The rose lay fading in his hand. Its perfume stifled him. ‘‘Married to-morrow'.” Outside the window a bird sang merrily to its mate. A tiny black cricket chirped on the window' ledge. And the reapers reaped, And the sun fell. And all the land was dark.” 226 Art Institute Architectural Department Armour Institute oh Technology 229 Anxious Inquirer— It is not considered good taste to be run over by a trolley car. 2 2- 2 Freshman— You win the bet!

G. 242 Che Armour fialf-Back v Prize Story The rooms of the Paragraph Club were thick with smoke when Newcome came in. “A little game ?—Don’t let me interrupt—don’t get up, I beg of you.” No one had paid the slightest attention to him. “Hello, Newcome! ” “ Don’t you know it’s customary for Freshmen to rise as one man — it takes about four Freshmen to make one man —to greet Seniors? Ouch ! Stop that! Save those pillows! Things seem to be cornin’ my way.” “If you must talk, Newcome, tell us a story.” “A real Armour story?” “ Of course.” “ Oh, I say—” Newcome began. “ Let it be brief.” “ I don’t know any stories.” “ Yes, you do—go on.” “That’s what Roney asked us to do in English th’ other day.” “ What did you tell about? ” “ I didn’t tell; I wrote.” “ Well, go on and hurry up. What did you write about?” “ I wrote about a half-back we had last year.” The audience waited what it considered a sufficient length of time. “ What about him?” “ Nothin’; that’s the trouble. I couldn’t make a decent sized tale of it.” “ Oh, go on! ” “ I can’t remember just how I wrote it. Anyway, we had a little bit of a two by twice, chunky, red-headed fellow on the Armour Feet-ball team last year. None of you fellows know him.” “ What was his name?” “ Billy Bailey; he graduated last year. We used to call him the scrub half-back beause he was so chunky and wasn’t good for another thing but carrying the pig-skin. My soul, but he was a corker at that! lie couldn’t be beat. He could run to beat the band, and kick, too. There’s a legend that he never failed to kick goal.” “ How did you happen to let him get away?” “ If I’m interrupted, I’m liable to forget what comes next. Now, I’ve lost the place.” “The last word was goal.” “ Oh, yes! Well, we had got to dependin’ on Billy for the heavy work and he rose to the occasion every time until Tong toward the end of the year, when we really needed him, then he promptly began to fail. The little brute! None of us could think what was the matter with him; it wasn’t that he couldn’t play, but he wouldn’t. It seemed all the funnier to us because he had always worked harder than any of the rest of the fellows, and was in the hardest kind of trainin’, and that was just exactly what was the matter, but none of us knew it then. It was simply a case of over-trainin’.” “ Never heard of such a thing!” “ Course not; Freshmen are not supposed to know these things. Over-trainin’s a serious thing, though, for it has that effect on a fellow every time. It makes him lazy and indifferent. Why, I’ve seen Billy pinch himself many a time when he thought he ought to 243 be showing more interest. He was always first at practice games, and yelled the loudest, but let him get into a close place with the whole push down on him, and he’d crawl out every time, and once I heard him say ‘ouch!’ Oh, he got to be just awful. Poor little brute! The boys were all dead sore on him and Tarbell got him on the sub. list. Well, here the hottest game of the season was about to come off, and no Billy.” “Did he quit?” ‘‘No, oh, no, I don’t mean that; he was there all right, but he was no good. We needed him like fury, for we were going to play the last game with Lake Forest, and they’re a warm team. We played in Banker’s Field and had a great spread. Everybody here turned out, which was very extraordinary, for they were the coldest blooded set ’round here last year you ever saw. Nobody cared what became of the old team, but for this game the girls even turned out. The Walker girls were there, you know one of them—Kate—she’s here yet.” ‘‘William’s ‘steady’?” “ Yes, that’s the one.” “ My soul! ’ “ I should think so■ distracted his attention so he could hardly play.” “ Well, we had a hot game.” ‘‘Who else was there?” ‘‘Oh, let’s see — Florence Atkins was there with her push. You don’t know her, either; but she was the ‘star member’ last year. Prettiest girl in the school—or out of it. Blonde, tall and slender, and graceful, and all that—popular, too; everybody knew her, but I didn’t like her much. She had too many ‘ideas,’ and was too new-womanish. There were several girls with her you know—Kate Kregelo,—” “ Never heard of her.” ‘‘You will in time; she’s here yet. They were all decked out in the college colors and had pennons. Well, as I was about to remark when so rudely interrupted, we had a hot game. We played rank at first. They walked all over us. They scored a touch-down in spite of everything before we could stop ’em. Things looked pretty blue. I saw old Billy out with the subs and kind of wished he was back with us, for he looked all broken up and interested enough then. It was just before the end of the first half that they scored, and during the intermission they got gay and swiped the Senior’s pennon. Of course we all made a rush for it. I don’t remember how many were killed, but I do remember that when I excavated my head from under a fellow’s arm, I saw old Billy tearing across the field to beat three of a kind, with the pennon tucked neatly under his arm. lie ran fifty yards across the field with all of our fellows yellin’ at the top of their voices, and a few of the Lake Forest’s stragglin’ after. The boys went wild, lifted him upon their shoulders and ran across the gridiron with him; Billy sat there grinnin’ from ear to ear and bouncin’ up and down and it did our hearts good to see him. Then it was time for the second half. Things began pickin’ up with us. We did not score, but we held them well. The ball was lost by both sides time and time again by fine work of the line, and it seemed to be a matter of endurance to win. Finally our man Wheeler got the ball and gained twenty-five yards. Oh! say, we didn’t do a thing to them. They never touched him. But right after that they held us for three downs. They got the ball, but Tarbell made a fine tackle and through a fumble got the ball and by a fifty yard run made a touch-down; then old Dunning got hurt and was taken to the side line. “ He ain’t hurt, is he?” “ Nope, he’s loafin’.” ‘‘That was a bloody half; it took an hour and a half to play a twenty-five minute half, but Dunning was the first man to lay off. Tarbell naturally called on Billy and I was glad to see him get on; but maybe you think I wasn’t disgusted when he began actin’ just the way he was for the last three weeks. He was dead in the shell. Things had been goin’ our way, though, and we were ready to kick goal. Billy was star kicker, so Tarbell selected him. Maybe we weren’t hot, though, when we saw him gazing round the field as if nothin’ was happening. Any man that could deliberately gaze about a field when the hottest game of the season depended on him ought to be shot on sight. He gathered himself together after he’d surveyed the crowd, and seemed to look a little more determined. I’d have 244 staked a good deal that he’d kick goal, and he did. Great Heavens, Maude! I’d say he did! The fellows went wild. They tried to get hold of him again and ride him ’round the field, but ’t was no go. Time was called in about .five minutes, and Billy started ’cross the field to the training quarters. I met him, and what do you suppose he said? He said, ‘Say, Xewcome, did you see that girl over there on the other side of the field—the tall blonde with the pennon? Several girls with her? Who is she?’ I told him that I supposed he meant Florence Atkins, and asked what he wanted to know that for, but he didn’t say. Fancy a crazy question like that after a hot game, and fancy anyone at Armour for four years without knowing her. I didn’t think that sounded well, so I didn’t mention it in my first story—the one for Roney.” “ Is that all?” “ It is—isn’t it enough?” 44 ’Tain’t much.” 44 There was precious little point in what you told us, and if you left that out in Roney’s, I should think it’d be interesting.” 441 know what Roney’ll say about it.” 44 What?” 44 Lacks point and originality.—Re-write.” 44 I don’t know that a Freshman’s in right training for seeing a point.” 44 Well, if that’s the best you can do, I suppose we might as well go on with the game.” 44 Bring out that keg of cider we’ve been entertainin’.” 44 First wake that over on the couch.” 44 Wait, let’s paint him a pair of whiskers!” And they did.

During the first few days of the Winter term of the present year Mr. Alfred Weller, of the Electrical Department, suggested the scheme and succeeded in securing a number of enthusiastic followers. The plan was consummated on February 2d, 1893, when a constitution was adopted and officers elected. The future prospects of the society are especially promising, and it is hoped that the members may learn something about photography, which, while not altogether essential to the engineer or architect, may yet be very useful. The active membership list is limited to male members of the Institute. Persons not connected with the institution may become associate members. Photographers, whose range of the subject extends from the inexperienced beginner to the veteran amateur, are welcome. The aim is to produce an advanced class of amateurs; to teach the members the scientific principles of photography and the related branches, train them in the practical use and application of the same, and in aesthetics, so that they may be able to understand the artistic perceptions in this line. In order to accomplish these aims lectures are given by prominent scientists and practitioners, and practical exercises are given; also excursions and exhibitions are planned, and finally the possession of a dark room, a finishing room and a studio, allows every member the opportunity of becoming proficient according to his ability. It is hardly necessary to state that by means of such a co-operation the individual expenses are reduced to a minimum. The society has a vast field in which to work, and with the resources at hand there is no good reason why it should not flourish and be a factor of much practical good, as well as a source of pleasure to its members.

The days glided on, Oh! so slowly, Ilis spirit was restless within, lie saw the wide world spread before him, And had only one wish—to begin. The wise words of those more familiar With life and her smile, glad and grim, Seemed empty, and carried no omen, For time spread abundance for him. An old man with tottering footsteps And locks silvered white with the years, Stands looking back o’er a pathway Marked with victories, sorrows and tears. Behind is a life he has honored, Ahead stands the grim specter, Time. The sands in the hour-glass remorseless Run out—still the mystical chime— Sounds on, on and on, and the traveler Whose conquering hands palsy and fall, Cries out for one moment to linger, But the reaper cares not for his call. The Angel of Death claims the victory, The bright light of Life flits away, And nothing is left of the worker But cold and now tenantless clay. The broad seas of Life for one moment Are rippled—but soon close over all— The waves roll along and the breakers Dash high, shake the earth and then fall. Al.

Down there in love’s tender nest?” And then I struck a brilliant theory “ ’Tis some thoughtlet sweet and dreary, That makes this crashing, clashing, slash ing, On the left side of my chest.” And this discovery made me re- Mark, “ You’d best be somewhat leery, Or this crusher, gusher, slusher, May make sad havoc in thy breast.” And my heart grew sore and seary, And my sweet sad face was teary, At this funny, stunny, honey, Which said, “You’d best give love a rest.’ Then my pent up love waxed bleary, As I pondered, weak and weary It grew swishy, dishy, fishy, Quoth I, “Go west, young man, go west.’ v “J notable of ’o$.” ALSO PROMINENT AS 1-OOT BALL MANAGER. 260 CDa domo Eajt, io a toro cf txoo jcor«; K falser raijed TVbellj and pumpkin galor'. uiDpkiD5, eqr ,tj learned call roe |)er 5 on0 evening) b' grope d W � pumpkin o ,vJeh A % .JUY d° o)aot per, ano c, after hourttyj Hot $uromer long J . tended fyey pumpkin uiit oul bailed in jong; P ' fDy pride-roy pri -l iddeo deep io tfpe patch, '■ HKqoldeo cidec qlearoiDP, without blermbor rcratch:’ did iliff him,with b ck alrooa broke .« .• .

OUR QUARTERS, AS CONTRIBUTED BY OUR YOUNG COUSIN IN KENTUCKY. 266 th@ at iMtp YE call me Captain, and ye do well to call him Captain who for long years has bucked every old line the county of Cook over, and who has never yet got it'between the collar-buttons. If there be one among you who can say that ever on an end-run or a center play my actions did belie my words, let him stand forth and say it. If there be three in the eleven dare face me on. the bloody field, let them buckle on their shin-guards and come at me. And yet I was not always thus a savage chief of still more savage men. My ancestors came from out near Aurora and settled among the corn-fields of the Calumet. My early life ran as quiet as the Chicago River, and when at noon I gathered the cows into the barn and tried to work the Dean, there was a friend who joined me in the past time. We roomed together and ate at the same beanery. One evening after the chores were “did” and we were all seated beneath the mortgage which hung over the cottage, my brother, a cheerful skate, was telling of Beloit and Ilyde Park, and how on a defiled ball ground our little band had withstood a whole host of professionals. I did not know the game then, but I said funny things, I know not why, and I grabbed the knees of my aforesaid brother and would have made a touch - down then and there had not my father, gently patting me with an elm club, bade me go to bed and think no more of savage warfare. The very next day the hirelings landed on our coast. I saw the face of our full-back trampled under foot, the bleeding body of our center born from the field in pieces. To-day I killed a man on the grid- iron, and when I lifted his nose-guard, behold! he was my friend. He knew’ me, said something, rolled over and expired. I told the umpire that he was my friend, and begged that I might carry his body away and burn it. as coal was scarce, but the umpire drew’sternly back and said : “ Let the carrion rot! There are no noble men but Armour’s,” and so, fellow’ students, must you and so must I die like dogs. Oh, Armour! Armour! Thou hast been a tender nurse to me. Ay! Thou hast given the poor gentle country boy who never knew’a harsher note than the dinner horn, muscles of iron and a face of brass; taught him to ga .e into the eyeballs of the Registrar even as a boy upon a laughing girl. Hark! I lear ye yon rooter roar? ’Tis three days since he has feasted his eyes on the slaughter. If ye are men, follow me! Strike down yon guard and center and do bloody work or all is lost — is lost. W. M. L. 267 i L 4ri� oU |pa, er and R O Y_ E-dil-toria s.

It is strange that father does not return. {Enter Jonathan S. Goar, R.) Ha! here you are at last! Where have you been all day? You were not up when I left for my early recitation, nor were you home for dinner. Jonathan S. Goar—{Aside.) Guess I’m in for it. {Aloud, forcing a laugh.) At the races my boy; at the races. Bully day; big crowd; track fast and Leotonia won in a romp. I picked the winner of every race but one. I then bought the field, and a 30 to 1 shot landed the coin. Bully day, you ought to have been there. I). S. G.—No. I thank you. The horses themselves may be interesting, but the in- fluence of the low betting crowd is most degrading. J. S. G.—But its life, my boy, its life! {Lights cigarette.) Saw some mighty pretty girls. D. S. G.—{Ironically.) You usually do. J. S. G.—The one I came home with was a little beauty, with the most bewitching— D. S. G.—{Rising.) You surely did not come home with one of them? J. S. G.—I most certainly did. You needn’t scowl and look so disapproving. Can’t a man have a little fun once in a while? I). S. G.—{Ritterly.) It seems hard after I’ve worked and slaved at college and at home to lay the foundations for a fine career, that you should be no more of a credit to me. It is indeed hard. {Sadly). I had such hopes of you when I was young. Now you think of nothing but squandering time and money on— J. S. G.—{Throwing himself into a chair.) O rats! {Contemptuously.) I suppose you would have me bury myself in some musty old book. That may do for you but, by gad! at my age it isn’t enough. You’ll be there yourself some day, and then maybe you’ll have more sympathy. D. S. G.—{Gently.) I don’t mean to be hard, father, but I cannot approve of your action, and I do wish you would stop and consider what it must lead to. By the way, I have just completed a paper on “ Metter-r-r-mish in France” that I would like to read to you after supper. J. S. G.—{Hastily.) I’m sorry, but I must go down to the club to-night. The fellows made me promise that I would be there. I). S. G.—{Walking up and down with angry strides.) Oh yes, I might have known it would be the club. It is always the club when I want to see anything of you. What do you find so attractive that you must be there every night in the week? J. S. G.—{Confused.) Why—why—a man wants to see his friends occasionally. D. S. G.—Then why don’t you bring them home with you? You have an elegant home, fitted with every comfort that money can provide, and yet you can’t be bribed to spend a single evening in it. J. S. G.—I’m sorry about it to-night, my boy, but they wanted me to take a hand with them at whist. D. S. G.—{With darkening broiv). Yes, cards! And you will lose more to-night than I can, by severest toil, earn in a year. Father I have been steady, industrious, and saving, all my life, largely for your sake. Has it all been wasted? Is my example to be nothing to you? J. S. G.—{Impatiently). But you take it so deuced seriously. What’s the use of living, if you don’t have a little fun out of it? D. S. G.—{Continuing). I have striven to maintain our name, an honorable one, and to pass it on to posterity unsullied; and you, father,i know that I have succeeded. Why then, should you be the one to drag it in the dust? J. S. G. — {Springing to his feet). By Jove! I’ve been lectured enough. If you don’t like the way I live, you can live without me. I’ll go where I’ll be appreciated. {Exit angrily, slamming the door). D. S. G.—(Sinks into a chair, and bows his head into his hands.

The sixty-first meeting of the Society of A. I. E. E. was called to order by the Secre- tary at 8:45 p. m. sharp. Prof. David B. Gusher was unanimously called to the chair. The paper of the evening entitled. “ Effects of Lightning on the Nerves of Infants,’’ was then read by Prof. D. B. Gusher. Afterwards the Society listened to a discussion of the paper by Prof. Gusher — at great length. Among those at the meeting were Messrs. Gusher and others. On motion of D. B. G. the Society adjourned. The critic’s report by I). Gusher was greatly enjoyed. Prof. David Bushel Gusher, Secretary. yt Vv CPati RS.R. f '.V rry PRES H M IN Jr' So? H.

A1 was a straight, solid fellow and an upright young man—his friend a cute little maid and possessed a trim figure. With reference to their generation they were in the noble family of Revolute. They were so fond of being adjacent that it was decided that their planes should extend in the same direction. They delighted in going to the woods, whither a diagonal path led them. A1 was in his element when, as the exterior angle, he gathered flowers with Polly. At such times the inclination of the faces was very noticeable, especially when one proposition after the other was considered and the problem of their future relationship was discussed. The two were fond of attending lectures, and those given by a certain noted traveler, Geo. M. Ktry, particularly interested them. This angle told them of pyramids, cones, mountain summits and dizzy vertical heights which he had climbed, and of the vast area of the plains he had explored. Circus day was a happy one for A1 and his girl. A large space was cleared in an equilateral park and a circular tent was erected, in which the performers were ranged in a long broken line. Opposite, in the center of the tent, a tall angle swung on a trapezium. This greatly delighted the spectators, who shook their sides with laughter, thus demonstrat- ing their approval of the daring feat. These happy days came to an end when A1 left home to attend school in a town some miles distant. Rule IV in the laws of the institution required that every letter be inspected by the Superintendent before being received by the pupils. Of course A1 and Polly would be corresponding angles, and would have to obey this base rule, so they devised an accurate cypher system to meet the emergency at this point. P'or example, when A1 wanted some of Polly’s pie, he simply put the jY sign in the corner of the envelope, and in 3.1416 days a section of Polly’s culinary product was the result. Now, this young lady had a brother, Horatio, generally called Ratio, who, like most boys, was wont to tease his sister. When he went to extremes about A1 and her she invariably said: “ I think you are real mean, Ratio; you know that he and I are similar, and care only for each other, and that we are mutually agreed.” This silenced him. At the conclusion of a year A1 hurried home at a rapid rate. As they were to be married soon, they planned for the erection of a new house. The lovers proudly watched the carpenters with their wedges, compasses, squares, planes and other tools construct the projecting balconies and other parts of the house. The dining room was constructed in the form of an octagon, and the whole was laid out from up-to-date plans. One workman was so unfortunate as to let fall a line, which pierced a little plane in its foot, so he was promptly discharged. In the spacious back yard Polly soon made flower gardens, and surrounded them by great and small circles of poles. When everything was completed, A1 and Polly were joined in wedlock, and from that day they were the most contented angles on the surface of the globe. 280 fiVJrfJ of Ai i fo 15 f | An(DOiv| SKLTcr Tnorv] YY gk y Shc.lt illustrating Institit t L i Ft..

Unlike our learned professors, he comes with brush and pail, And clears the dusty, cloudy path, where they so often fail. Alas! Good Alec, won’t you try, with all your might and main, To see what you can do to clear the cob-webs from our brain? 282 Student’s Soliloquy in the Chemical Laboratory to fuse, that is the question: Whether ’twill be better in the end to mix this unknown with Na2Co3 and KN03 and fuse, Or to throw it in a beaker and, by adding acid, thus get it into solution—to dissolve—to test. No more ;—and by these tests to say wTe break up This unknown, and find out all the acids and bases That are in it—’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To dissolve—to fuse— To fuse! Perchance to break the dish. Ah! There’s the rub; For by that fusing, w’hat increased laboratory fees we may find, When we have shuffled out of this chemical lab., Must give us pause. These are the thoughts That make tedious so long an afternoon; For wrho would fool with hydrogen generators, Solutions which will not precipitate, Precipitates which will not dissolve, Unsatisfactory tests, And the sarcastic smiles that the meek student Of the haughty professor takes, When he himself might a good time have By slipping out of the chemical lab.? Who would work for four long hours, To grunt and sweat under a cloud of fumes, But that the fear of failure at examination time, When unanswerable questions will puzzle the brain, Makes us rather bear the ills we have Than fly to others that we dread more? Thus discipline does make slaves of us all; And we students who might otherwise try to get through without labor, Stand glued to our desks and with test tube in hand Vainly look for a satisfactory reaction.

If you pine for integration, Or for infinite summation; If it has a fascination Which is permanent and great; There will come a dread probation When there's no illumination, There will follow execration, 'Ere you learn to take it straight. For the form of the relation First demands consideration. And requires manipulation At a very early date. But to save yourself vexation, Make your woe of short duration; Heed the simple emanation Of a brain of poise and weight. You'll avoid all botheration, You will reach your destination In a spirit of elation, If you fix and integrate. 294 “melange” ■J v First Farmbr—“ How is your boy getting along at school ? ” Second Farmer—“ Wal, I be proud of Jim ; the very first time he came home he wore a pin with ’99 on it.” 44 I have married a wife and therefore cannot come.”—Ralston, Ex. ’99. Freeman—” Mr. Corey, please define a dyne” Mr. Corky (awakened from sound slumber)—” A dyne is the force done by a mass of one centimeter acting through a distance of one gram; or rather, it is the work done by a mass of one second acting through a distance of one erg in a space of time equal to one centimeter.” Senior—” I)o you know why the Armour Institute of Technology is a learned place ? ” Junior—“Of course; the Juniors bring a good deal of learning in, and the Seniors never take any out, so it accumulates.” Wanted—The address of the Coleman sisters.—Garcklon. Instructor in History—” For what are the Romans chiefly responsible ? ” Freshman—” They understood Latin.” ” It cuts no ice how oblique the cylinders are.”—Prof. Aldkrson. 8AM. 8'03 AM. 8:01 AM. 8:0 5AM. 8I02 A.M. 295 editorials It may seem strange to some that a space has been given to this department, especially as other annuals are in the habit of omitting it. Sufficient to say, however, that we are not laying out this book according to the forms of other schools, though they may be older, nor are we bound to follow the customs or drag along in the ruts of others. We believe that those who pursue the narrow, hedged rules of sophisticism are the ones who generally do not advance very far; that those who do things in a certain way because others do it that way, will lose; that those who do the same old thing in an original way even though that way may not be the best, are taking a step in advance and dealing a blow to retrogression. j This school year has seen a greater advance in the develop- ment of a school spirit at Armour than all of the four preceding years combined. Athletics and the musical organizations are drawing out more and more enthusiasm each term. The older literary organizations are holding their own and new organizations are rapidly being formed. The organizing of the Paragraph Club last year seems to have been the key which opened the way to other student secret organizations, and this year has witnessed the birth of two others, one in the academy, one in the college. “The Fulcrum” has added a new feature to the school and supplied a long-felt want, and lastly the work on the “Integral” has called forth a great deal of interest among the students and had a tendency to keep several of the boys out of mischief. It has been the cry of the past that school life at Armour was practically dead, or rather that it had never been born. While this may have been the situation it is no longer true. Let us put forth our best efforts that it may never again be true. All that is necessary is that the different organizations should pull together. This ought not to be such a hard task. The best words that any one could say for Armour Institute of Technology would be “refer to the Alumni.” It is a well known fact that any institution of learning can become great in so far only as its alumni make it great. A college might have the best instructors procurable, yet if its students on 296 completing their college work are not equal to the task which the world will, and has a right to, demand of them in their line, then that college has failed in the only function for which it has any excuse for being. In this respect Armour has been particularly fortunate. The class of '97 entered the school at its opening and naturally were subjected to the experiments which a new institution necessarily forces on its students until the best policy has been acquired. Notwithstanding this circumstance the members patiently pursued their way, and are now reaping the reward for their labors. The majority of them are occupying profitable places of trust and responsiblity and are giving good satisfaction; a good advertisement for the school and an unwritten vote of thanks to the instructors whose influence will be felt through future generations. We know of no better place than this to give mention to the names of some of the ex-Armourites who left us to pursue their studies in other colleges, or to engage in practical work. Mr. W. Tudor Apmadoc, author of the “Armour” song, after leaving us took a course in law at Ann Arbor, and is now practicing in this city. Messrs. S. O. Swenson and Thos. Wray are at Champaign, Messrs. W. H. Feindt and W. R. Weidman, two of our former athletes are attending the University of Michigan. Messrs. J. R. Brownell and L. F. Elorsheim are at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. B. B. Greer is at Dartmouth College; Messrs. J. C. Broeksmit and J. W. O’Leary are at Cornell; Mr. J. B. Pretty man, who was compelled to quit on account of sickness is now preparing to leave Klondike as agent for a Transportation Co. Mr. S. S. Posey ex-’97, is located at Austin, Texas; Mr. J. A. Masters is president of the Jamestown Electric Light and Power Co. at Jamestown, N. D.; Mr. J. A. Wiley is with the firm of Marshall, Field Co., City; Mr. J. T. Wadsworth is keeping books for the Illinois Steel Co., at South Chicago; Mr. Wm. Ralston is engineer for the O'Leary Foundry Co , City; Messrs. R. T. Rogers and H. M. Ashby are attending the University of Chicago; Mr. R. N. Stewart is Electrical Inspector for the City; Mr. E. A. O’Connor is in Mexico, engaged in engineering work; Mr. Blatchford Kavanagh is with the firm of Lyon Mealy, City; Mr. I I. J. Gates is superinten- dent of the Oakland (Cal.) Consolidated Street Railway System; Mr. E. M. Montchyk is attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colo.; Mr. James Neilson is with the firm of Westinghouse, Church, Kerr Co. 297 kissed her, and low sunk her head on his breast, While loud beat his heart ’neath his still louder vest. In emotion her bosom full swift sunk and rose, While she w’ept it all on his new Sunday clothes. Ilis heart, once so gleesome, now quickly grew sad, For these were the very best garments he had. But soon through his bangs did an idea shoot, Oh, joy! Without price he was pressing his suit. A man named Darwin stole some sausages, but the missing links were recovered. Prof.—What are the primary colors, Mr. Smith ? Mr. Smith—The sun, moon and stars. Professor in Chemistry of Cooking—What two fruits go best together? Miss C—A date with a peach. Huey was tinkering with his bicycle one day, and caught his hand in the sprocket wheel, lacerating the latter quite severely. During the Electrical lecture the next day, he roused us out of a sound sleep and explained that he had been traveling “ incog.” .j “ The. ojitob kvA he, vnovM fyycro:' HAKE.5PLARE. 298 Roster for w7=o$ 299 BACON.
