(SJunaaulufl Nothing but a profound belief in the all-fatherliness of God and a faith that His goodness is over all His works could support me in the task to which 1 am called today. Many of the dearest hopes of my own life lie apparently dead in yonder casket. Cover the pall as you have with a summer of flowers, it is still true that with the death of Philip I). Armour, Jr., winter seems to have come over many of the dreams of our lives. 1 stand here only as a mourner, and yet I must speak to the mourning ones. God grant that what comforts me may comfort you also! Honored as I have been with the friendship of the Armour family, and acquainted as I am with the far-reaching plans born at the fireside where their son was reared and where his youth blossomed into manhood, I seem to stand at this hour in the presence of a broken column. Ix ve hangs garlands upon it and they are moistened with tears. From the fragmentary beauty come reflections of the light of two homes; and it is the kind of light that will never cease to bring out of the mist of our sorrow the frustrated hopes and broken aspirations which throng our hearts at this hour. If this young man had not been dowered with extraordinary ability as a merchant who had just entered the realm of trade and commerce whose gates were flung open to him so gladly, his relationship to one of the most important enterprises in the world, as one of its heirs and future directors, would have given him eminence and supplied him a pedestal which only too clearly exalts his powers, now that, so far as this world is concerned, they are forever to remain unused. Hut Philip Danforth Armour, Jr., proud as he was of his inheritance and clear-headed as he was with reference to the value of the name given to him in babyhood, had already proven himself more than a mere recipient of Fortune’s pleasant whim. He had so far entered into the commercial life which his very genius, as well as his circumstances had chosen for him, and he had given such demonstration of brilliant and solid qualities as a business man, that the glow of promise upon his forehead places him among the chosen young men of earth who have been stricken down by death in the splendid morning of their powers. With them he has departed. To their long home he has migrated. They are the company who have left .the world of art and literature and science and religion, as he left the world of commerce, to mourn and to muse over the shining prophecies with pride and with regret, and to calculate from these prophecies how rich or beauti- ful or true or harmonious the world would have been if they had reached only the noontide of their strength and achievement. It is when we study petal after petal involved in such buds of mighty promise so suddenly or slowly denied the possibility of unfolding their love- liness or power, that we take firmer hold upon the conviction that this life must be indeed, especially in such cases, only the portal to the larger life where all buds reach their perfect flowering and where all mornings journey to mid-noon and where all fragmentary and incomplete lives reach fullness and harmony under the guidance of the Father of all things. Only the infinite love working through infinite time can gather together and put in order the broken threads of our earthly years. Our science as well as our faith proves that this is a universe of marvelously strict economies, and that, therefore, it is impossible that anything of value may be lost. It is in this conviction and in this serene l elief, that we l ehold, not without confidence in the unfoldings of the future, the genius of poetry leaving her tears where Shelley dies at the age of 29; the genius of painting weaving her garlands for the tomb of Raphad dead at the age of 37; the genius of literature stooping ever the hallowed dust of Arthur Henry Hallam, who left love and life here at 22; the genius of our American mercantile life, pausing today at this grave, to Ik- less known but not to be less significant, where Philip I). Armour, Jr., at the age of 31, lies with still pulses, and his pen- etrating, restless eye, with the urgent and sagacious brain is at rest forever. It would not be a universe worthy of (Jod or man, if it were not so ordered that this little circle of life which we call time breaks into the larger circle which we call eternity. Fternitv is youth and youth is the realizing of eternity. A young man, looking out into the certainty of his early decease, could well sing of that comradeship in the future—a comradeship which must exist somewhere among those, who, endowed with gifts and opportu nities such as we honor here today, were not permitted to realize their fruition in this mortal life. One young man of genius prayed: “ With the tear-worthy four, consumption killed In youthful prime, before the nebulous mind Had its symmetric shapeliness defined, Had its transcendent destiny fulfilled— May future ages grant me gracious room, With Pollock, in the voiceless solitude finding his holiest rapture, happiest mood : Poor White for ever poring o’er the tomb; . With Keats, whose lucid fancy mounting far Saw heaven as an intenser, a more keen Re-integration of the Beauty seen And felt by all the breathers on this star ; With gentle Bruce, flinging melodious blame Upon the Future for an uncompleted name. At the age when Philip I). Armour, Jr , was called hence, the young Scotch poet, David Gray, had been in his grave seven years, and yet alwve the grasses life seemed to be singing a song that quenches the discords of death. It was a song which the | oet himself had sung in anticipation of his early death. He felt that this life is only the first chosen soil in which the seed sometimes sprouts and only the bud comes, and that God often transplants the life at the time when its petals are not unfolded as yet, in order that in another soil and in air more subtly suited to the particular nature of the plant and its history, the half open destiny have its entirety of development. “ Whom the Gods love die young” said the old Greek pagan. Shall we not believe also that love had plans for him that no earthly wealth could carry out, and that, by and by, we shall see that we did not over-estimate his possibilities? We rather under-estimated them. God, his Father, alone so truely estimated them that He was moved to take out of merely human hands and associations the guidance and development of his destiny. Therefore, above this grave where we leave the dust of our strong and hopeful young friend, we may remember that lie also felt only “ the faint beatings in the calyx of the rose, and while we realize all that friend or child, father, mother and wife found in his buoyant and prophetic career, we can place upon his gravestone what the Scotch poet wrote for a similar gravestone that now guards the little plot of ground in the old home of Mr. Armour’s ancestors: “ There is life with God, In another kingdom and a sweeter air. In Kden every flower is blown : Amen.” In a ministry of a quarter of a century, I have never known a young man into whose life and career on earth there have come a larger invest- ment of affectionate hope. We all hung our desires upon this child of fortune and promise. The magnitude of the commercial enterprises allied with the Armour name was as nothing to the magnitude of love with which his steps were followed. He was shy, especially to those who were likely to make much of his kindliness, but behind the fortress he made there was the sunny and impulsively generous man whom to know was to love. The richness of the mansion whose roof sheltered with every art. his wife and boys, is not comparable to the richness of the hopes that leapt up like visions at the mention of his name. We all waited for the day when maturity would prove that what pledges he made at thirty-one. when he entered seriously into the arduous task of taking up his family’s great pro jects of business or beneficence, would l e grandly redeemed at ten and two score. The significance of the noble philanthropies which his wise and loving parents have barely inaugurated pales before the clearly defined significance of the child to whom such responsibilities were coming. That is, the man and his opportunity met in proper order; and no family, even though as loyal and true as this, ever had larger reason to think that love would have its way and hope its full and long reward, as years upon years would evolve the riches of Philip's nature and make him one of the most influential men of his time. Where then, with this dream shattered, can we turn? Where, with this grave open, shall we gaze for a gleam of assur- ance ? Where then, with our tears to magnify every blasted anticipation, shall we look to discover a vision of life and an interpretation of the universe that shall soothe and support ? We think of that beloved father and mother today so far away in the body, but so near and dear to us in the spirit. We pray for them. Was there ever another Father whose Son left our earth before the time which our limited conceptions would have appointed for His going? Ah, yes! Iajt us look to Him and pray for an understanding of that diviner philosophy of life which sets this small earth-life in its true relations, gives it only its just proportions, and grants us the immeasurable perspective of eternity. God’s perfect Son left our world with an unfinished life, as it seemed. Let us pray that the father and mother of this son may get God’s point of view. Jesus of Galilee was the embodiment of the world's hope. He was much else, but he was the world’s greatest young man. If we look at Him only from the loftiest of those mountain tops of vision to which men are permitted to ascend, we will say that His was the life most apparently- needed to be lived out in its entirety upon the earth. No business enter- prise of this world has ever apparently poised its possibilities and destiny upon any one life as did the weal of humanity upon the life of Jesus. We may reverently say that no most loving father apparently could have ever felt that the enterprise nearest his own heart so resided and throbbed in the beating heart of his child here below as did our heavenly Father, when His Son, Jesus, was making a new life for man by conquering death and sin here upon earth. Just as the thousand plans and purposes of this father’s life, Mr. Philip I). Armour’s vast philanthropies and his cherished hopes were the gift of his heart and brain to his off spring, so, if we may rise to infinite heights of thought, the philanthropies and inaugurated move- ments of God’s being were apparently embodied and manifested for their consummation in the life of His Son Jesus in this world. Hut we must be very careful to hold to that significant word apparently, “ For now we see through a glass, darkly.” The fact is that, at the very moment when Jesus seems most needed to live His life here He leaves our life. He dies with only thirty-three of our brief years as his span. “He dies,” men say, “when he is just getting hold of the reins of destiny.” Hut he dies in God’s love. Now does not this give us. in an hour like this, a better understanding of God’s method? This is not God’s only world for the education or achievements of His children. Can we not trust God as Jesus, at the age of 33, trusted God? If God has processes and methods such as justify Him in depriving the earth and leaving it bereft of its grandest young man, shall we not have confidence that this young man whom we loved is also in His care ? To this young wife whose hand my hand placed in his, and who united with me in prayer for length and happiness of days with her young hus- band, I bring today the consolation of The Divine love. Great as hers may be, God’s love is deeper as it was olden it is greater than hers. His was a busy, intense and only prophetic life. We are always believing that fondly cherished seeds of hope, which have no time for development today will blossom in harvests of joy in some near tomorrow in the providence of God. Hut Philip had no summer-time or harvest-time; he had only one and thirty of the ten and three score years allotted to man. Providence and love had unexpectedly called him to severe and taxing duties almost before his youth was done. This young man, with his brother, had l een com pelled, at an early age, to assume the almost incalculable burdens and responsibilities of a business which only superb genius could ever have initiated, and which has exacted, to the utmost, the largest powers of its great founder and his able associates. He had wonderful resiliency of mind, and that good humor which oils life’s burdened axles; and yet, he was an enormously occupied young man. As we think of the cares of this young father and husband, who was also financier and merchant on the largest scale, how sweet to wife and little l oys must appear those tender and fragrant blossoms which shly grew upon the little plots of their home life when the sunshine fell in undisturbed warmth, and when the air was peaceful as the dawn. Vet here his life was scarcely more than a group of prophecies. How many and how bright they were, even in the minds of his little children as they played with him add the happy wife and mother, in that last ten days under the blithe and winsome air of California; and yet Love’s holiest and sweetest hopes foi our own loved ones always de- mand another realm for their realization. Somewere, dear sorrowing ones —sometime, the best he intimated will be realized. We can be sure that God is love on the other side of the tomb and on this side as well. The widow and the orphan are in the hands of that same wise affection and divine care which will protect and guide and ultimately ally with God the soul of the father, the husband and the friend. Nothing but the eye of infinite love can penetrate into the mystery and charm of human brotherhood. I must not enter into the holy of holies at whose shrine I caught a glimpse on the morning of Saturday last when 1 discovered that love is. indeed, stronger than death, and that we have no words in any human vocabulary to describe the meaning of brotherhood such as I saw when the light of eternity played upon that brotherhood which had, apparently, l� een broken in the death of the younger of these two beloved boys. Human words can scarcely l e spoken here, especially by one who has been accustomed to mention these two boys with his own children’s names when silent and secret prayer has closed the weary day. To the same God to whom so often they have been commended in the hour of their anxiety or their joy. I again commend this brotherhood; but I would not l� e true to myself if I did not gratefully remember the grace which has been given to him who survives, and the nobility of character which he has already manifested as he has seen his companion and boyhood friend pass into silence. We cannot shut out from this circle of sorrowing ones those whose shrinking necessities will come upon shuffling feet to some of us, to tell us of the generosity of a young man of fortune to whose ears the cry of the unfortunate and the plea of the poor were resistless eloquence. The multitude of letters made since the hour when his death brought tidings of disaster to the homes of the helpless whom he succored would prove his fairest eulogy. We never know how much a man, so unpretentious of the goodness to which he aspired, has accomplished until death cuts the cur- rent of his unheralded beneficence. His last promise to a friend in Chi- cago was a ray of light for the hearts of those who labor at Armour In stitute. Said he, “ I am busy now in helping to get hold of the business that runs the Institute; some day soon I will try to give it as much atten- tion as father did and as much as the business gets from me.” We come to day, therefore, to offer our tribute also; and I. to whom Armour Insti- tute has been as dear as a child, bow with you before God, conscious of a loss which 1 pray God will use to the eternal gain of our friend who has entered the unseen and to us who are yet to lalK r and to wait. event may one ftnD matter of more or less interest to our frtcitDS in aitD out of armour Institute of €ccl)itology C. 3t bas been carefully collcctcD aitD tS l)crcby respectfully SubmittcD to you by tl)e eDitors Book I Book II Book III 7he Institute Page 5 The Student Page jj 7he Bookman Page 113 7be Athlete Bage 209 '4 Book IF Modeled � y Mary Brooks Barker 5 Cljc institute Calendar J tneteen f untreti Jan. 3 Wednesday Jan. 4 Thursday Feb. 12 Monday Feb. 22 Thursday March 26-28 Monday to Wednesday March 28 Wednesday April 4 Wednesday April 5 Thursday May 16 Wednesday May 30 Wednesday June 18-20 Monday to Wednesday June 20 Wednesday June 25-26 Monday and Tuesday Sept. 13-14 Thursday and Friday Sept. 19 Wednesday Sept. 20 Thursday Nov. 29-30 Thursday and Friday Dec. 17-19 Monday to Wednesday Dec. 19 Wednesday Registration of Students Winter Term Begins Lincoln’s Birthday; a holiday Washington’s Birthday; a holiday Winter Term Examinations Winter Term Ends Registration of Students Spring Term Begins Founder’s Day; a holiday Memorial Day; a holiday Spring Term Examinations Spring Term Ends June Entrance Examinations September Entrance Examinations Registration of Students School Year Begins Thanksgiving Holidays Autumn Term Examinations Autumn Term Ends 17 i8 % yt Gunsaulus Fellows jfacultp Alderson Agle t Mon in Fleury Millet Ritchey Porter Snow Kerr Cody Macomber Flanders McClement Smith Gore Gebhardt Phillips Scherger Shattuck Lang Feldman Liebard Freeman Thomas Williams Raymond Burr 19 it Officers of Stonuntstratton if = • I The President Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus The Dean of the Technical College Victor Clifton Alderson The Dean of Armour Scientif c Academy Louis Celestin Mon in 'The Secretary of the Board of Trustees Frederick U.

To the ' average mind almost nothing but cooking and sew- ing; but to our minds, the science of living. The acquirement of a scientific or classical course im- plies broad general knowledge. A course in Domestic Science includes not only this general knowledge, but its further application to the principles and prob- lems of the home, from which all culture emanates. Professor Zueblin, in his interesting lectures on Sociology, has said that culture does not consist alone of a university education, but includes the refining influences of the home. And the Normal Domestic Science course not only trains students to make these homes the centers of culture, but what is more important, fits them to teach others this fine art. After noting the list of studies pursued one must feel that when a student has finished this course, she is able to step out into the world equipped with a profession which places her among the foremost educators of the day. To Miss Bullard is due the great efficiency of this department. It is owing to her untiring efforts and enthusiasm that this line of work has reached its present standing. The Normal Class has formed an organization with the following officers: The object of this society is to elevate and dignify the profession of Domestic Science.

In the light of future years many things may seem well or ill—we cannot tell. We have striven first, to obtain for ourselves the maximum from a four years’ course ; our success in this is best told by the records in the office of the Dean. Again we have had our share of honors in athletics, Ixmgnecker being the best all ’round athlete in school until his withdrawal last year. Hayden has held the tennis championship in doubles for four years, and is now presi- dent of the Athletic Board and captain of the basket-ball team. Fisher has frequently won in bicycle events. Feindt was well known as a wrestler. Harvey holds the championship with Hayden in tennis—doubles—and holds second in singles. There is not a member of this class who has not helped to push when pushing was needed. Creelman and Parker have displayed real nineteenth century heroism in completing a four-year course under difficulties sufficient to swamp men of less calibre. The Technical Society has been kept alive and prospering the last year almost wholly by this class. We have spent our time judiciously, steadily “sawed wood” perhaps, but that was our business here. Four years ago some of our members looked, at least, like mere boys. A wonderful change has taken place. We now stand on about the same level. Older minds have grown clearer, young ones older and more serious. Many of us know what it means to earn a living by labor, and do not look at the world through “papa’s golden goggles.” It is not strange, then, that we should feel a deep and lasting regard for the place of our awakening and for our professors who have aided us so much. 43 ( With apologies to Riley) There, Armour Tech, don’t cry!. • Nought-nought is going, I know, And you lose a number of first-rate men Who have watched and helped the Tech to grow In numbers and fame, but then, All college days must at last pass by.

Whence these legends and traditions, With their frequent repetitions And their wild reverberations, As of thunder in the mountains ? I should answer, I should tell you. T is a characteristic of all things great, whether famous or notorious, that their origin is shrouded in mystery. Sometimes, this mystery is the cause of greatness, often, as the cynic would say, the result. Now the origin of the class of 1901 is shrouded in mystery. No man knows whence we came, no man dares say whither we shall go. We “ happened ” one day in September, exactly at such a time so that, barring accidents, we would be sent forth into the world with the new century. Our prudence and foresight in so doing have been the envy of all the other classes, - nay, some maliciously disposed persons have even gone so far as to attempt to hold back the march of ages so that we should be forced to graduate in the old nineteenth century along with the Seniors, and be forgotten with them. Their attempt has been in vain, how- ever, as Dean Alderson has decided that the twentieth century shall begin when we go forth. To say that we knew it all before we entered Armour Institute of Tech- nology, would be inconsistent and untrue; to say that we will know it all when we are through is unnecessary. Already we have surpassed all the other classes—the Freshmen reverence us, the Sophomores imitate us, the Seniors fear us. Our deeds have been great and numerous. Our class kicks, although a thing of the past, are still an object of awe, and some of them may yet be seen on the doors of our lockers. While attending to our duties as students we have nevertheless not for- gotten our literary and social obligations. Only recently we enacted a comedy drama, in three acts, entitled, “ The Averted Catastrophe, or Who kicked the Lamp?” The play took place in the Junior locker room, and the scene was brilliantly illuminated with broken circuits and non-incandescent lights. We have also written a 250-page novel entitled, “ The Fight that Failed, or 49 Why Resist Matter ? ” This book became rapidly popular and its sales rivaled even those of the Fulcrum. Be it known, however, that we no longer edit the Fulcrum. This task has been relegated to the Sophomores, who will after a while raise it to its former standard of excellence. It is, perhaps, needless to say that in our sojourn at Armour we have endeared ourselves to many members of the faculty. Indeed, so great is their love for us, that when we are detained below stairs beyond our usual time for convening, they come down and fetch us: nay, more, they even keep us longer than the allotted space of one hour, and quarrel among themselves for our possession. On the other hand we have made many enemies. This is not strange; it is the lot of all things truly great. Our enemies do not, however, any longer molest us. After having thrown the Sophomores out of the elevator and the Freshmen down stairs, we were left in peace by all. As for the Seniors— pshaw, they don’t count anyway. But why further recount our many valorous deeds ? Why further lift the veil of mystery that enshrouds us and disclose all our cherished secrets and inner workings? To those who wish to know more of the Junior Class, to know some- thing of its doings, its abilities, its monumental achievements and its power, I say, read the Integral, which is the epitome of the class; and hesitate not to buy it. It is ours; we paid for it. 50 5i Class of 1902 A. H. Anderson M. F. Baird M. W. Briggs W. O. Collins M.C. Fairweather W. W. Felt F. J. Field E. H. Freeman H. R. Harbeck Roscoe Harris E. T.

Willis 52 53 iustorp of tljf Class of 1902 HATEVER disputes may arise regarding the new century’s beginning with 1900 or 1901, there is ipso facto evidence that, for the broad realm of Technology, a new and brilliant era is inaugurated by the astute Sophomores of Armour Institute, 1902. In scholarly pursuits we showed, from the first, such ability, comprehension and concentration that our professors were amazed and delighted, and when the end of our Fresh- man year arrived they could not bear to part with us and pre- vailed upon some of our members to gladden their class rooms for another term, as an inspiration and a guide to the puerile class of '03. We rescued the “ Fulcrum” from the feeble hands of its founders and, with Field for editor and Larkin for business manager, it was no surprise to us to hear that “ Harper Brothers ” had had a receiver appointed immediately after the publication of our second number. Seidl is lost to the world, it is true, but the class of ’02 has produced a Henderson, a Reiniger, a Franklin. What will become of our honored Glee and Mandolin Club when deprived of the sweet singers and skilled musicians of our class? May the classes of ’04 and ’05 have some members who will be able to supply the loss. In athletics we excel in basket ball, having probably the best class team in the Institute, and we are trying to rouse the dormant athletic spirit of the other classes to compete with us on the track and in the field. We are prominent in all plans for fostering class and college spirit. Some genius suggested that we fly our class banner over the stage during the 1900 Glee and Mandolin Club concert, but the Freshmen, thinking to frustrate our plan, cut the wire which we had strung across the stage. This was neither a sur- prise nor a sorrow, as Harris hung the royal purple burgee from the vaulted ceiling, as easily as most people would hang from a strap in the street car. Then we gathered for shouts of exultation and to protect our flag from the irreverent Freshies and the haughty Juniors, but they feared our might and the banner waved unmolested. 55 Above and beyond these material things our mental vision has extended. Through applied science we have explored new fields of thought. I et the members of the class of ’02 strive, not only to reflect credit on Armour Insti- tute by their success in their chosen pursuits, but let each one show that his whole being has here developed into that expression of noble manhood that will make him truly helpful as a citizen and a neighbor. 56 57 Class of 1903 Colors— Olive Green and White Offircrs anU Members Emil F.

Still, if one would be a Roman of the Romans, there is no better line of action than that laid down in the foregoing precept. There we were on Entrance Day hovering fitfully about the office and library, not sure that we had any business in either place, and afraid to leave for other regions. Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores fumed about in blissful consciousness of their importance. Would we ever know so well how to make out our program, whether we ought to walk up stairs or ride in the elevator, what knowledge indispensable and what superfluous, as these affable upper-classmen on the self-appointed committee of initiation. We began to realize what “survival of the fittest” meant. New and startling developments appeared each day and threatened to overwhelm our mental existence. Alas, poor creatures! They had felt their future was before them; a few months later many felt as though their future was behind them. A short time after this process of initiation a Junior, attracted by one of the young men who was standing in front of the bulletin board with his upper and lower maxillaries widely separated, inquired for an explanation of this peculiar attitude. He got it. The youth replied that, as he “had seen so much during the past few hours his optics were fatigued, and he was resting them by taking in the sights through his eye teeth.” The Freshmen thus introduced themselves as men of mighty intellect. Realizing that “in union there is strength,” they sought to form a pro- tective association to be known as the Class of ’03. Regular meetings were held from week to week. Executive, social and athletic committees were appointed. As the class was twice the size of any other in school they unani- mously concluded they could do as they pleased and have whatever they asked for. Being of temperate habits and not having as yet found it necessary to advise the faculty, no one can dispute this power. 6l During one of our historic meetings we favored the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. with an opportunity to divulge the secrets.of that organization. The class quickly recognized the high moral and pleasant social advantages of the organization and has taken the initiative in forming a branch in the school. The few brief months we have kept on the alert, diligently pursued by our studies, have been sufficient to look into a future of unrivaled splendor. The trials of the past are but a preparation for our future glory. The disap- pointments in exams are but the stepping stones to future greatness, the burning midnight gas is the light that will illumine our pathway to prosperity. We plod on with ever-increasing wisdom and learning and feel assured that an anxious world is awaiting us with outstretched arms and a knife in its boot. But we are like charity, not all puffed up. Modesty forbears that we torture longer the bleeding public with plaudits of our glory. 62 OraDuatcjs of 1897 At the First Annual Commencement, on June 16, 1897, the Institute conferred the following degrees: Paul Reed Chapman, B.

During our first year we did not do much except observe how things were done. We got a good working knowledge of the Profs., we learned to refrain from trying to pay our triennial $20 at the Dean’s office, we discovered that the elevator was for “ladies only,” and gradually left off calling the Tech students Mr. We also organized in our first year a custom which is very rarely followed; and Vaughn gave a foretaste of his magnificent skill as a jumper by winning second in the pole vault on field-day. During our second and third years we climbed up the ladder of fame in jumps. In the spring of ’98 we defeated the Class of ’99 Acad in a dual field meet, our score being nearly double theirs, while ’98 was only saved from the same fate by refusing the challenge. We also studied English reading under Mr. Manning and illustrated the battle scenes in the classroom, all but the chaste Buck McArthur taking part. The year of ’98-’99 brought even greater triumphs. Our stars, Vaughn and Wasserstrass, carried off the Acad- emy championships in their respective branches at the Tattersall meet; Jens, Prentice and Butterworth were among the “ main guys ” on the Institute foot- ball team, and Bartlett and his men had made ’00s the champion basket ball team of the Academy. Verily there were no flys on the class of ’00. And now, behold us in the might and beauty of our fourth year. Our dance was a glorious success in ever)' way, we outshone all our predecessors there, and we have been the guests of ’01 at a social function almost as brilliant. Our class dues are paid up to date, our class yell is a thing of beauty and poetry, and our pin is a “ peach.” Miss Lang says that if we would only show more enthusiasm over the subjunctive case and separable verbs we would be the—but that must not be repeated, lest the demon Envy appear. We have labored hard (at times), and now that our four years’ course is through we have a right to feel satisfied with everything but the thought that the old class will soon become a mere memory. Well, it will be a pretty satisfactory memory, at any rate, and we can rest assured that we have dis- proved that motto which was once suggested for us by a sarcastic friend: “ E nullo nullum est.” 71 CLASS WINDOW Presented to A.

Every possible excuse for existence on the part of the clubs has been explained and proved until one, in read- ing former pages of the Integral feels somehow that possibly there is no excuse. It is the duty of the scribe to once more assert that in the nature of things we were fore-ordained to serve the “Muses.” Our single efforts only brought wrath and boot-jacks on our heads, but collectively we were too strong and vigorous to be subdued and so no attempt to crush us was made. Thus left to pursue our way in unmolested tranquillity we afflict the ears of our fellow students but two or three times during the year, mostly trolling our merry lays in other fields where “ Fields” and genius are appreciated. Despite the scornful critic, only once have we failed to satisfy. The single exception was a night clerk, an unmusical night clerk in a hotel in Racine. This anti-W'agnerite, with no appreciative soul, hastily mounted four flights of stairs early one morning and vigorously remon- strated against “ the noise ! ” Who threw the boot ? Ask the Sphinx if ye would know. It will ever be shrouded in mystery. We haughtily sought solace for our wounded spirits in the arms of Morpheus. The next morning we found that our friend the X. C. had evaporated and all anticipations of a general agitation with him were dissipated. From then on we have had things our own way, and it is with a sense of true joy that we sing— “In merry mood are we, O Armour!” The election for the season of 1899-1900 brought a radical change to the Glee Club. Mr. Webster was engaged as instructor and Mr. Franklin was elected to lead the club. The Mandolin Club still retained Signor Tomaso as instructor. The management of the Clubs was placed in the hands of Mr. R. M. Henderson, ’02, Mr. F. J. Field, ’02, assisting in that capacity. The Banjo Club heretofore has had more or less difficulties with which to contend, but from now on its success seems to be assured. This year’s Banjo Club, under the able direction of Mr. R. G. Reiniger, ’02. has demon- strated that their connection with the musical clubs is indispensable. On Thanksgiving part of the musical clubs went to Elgin where, after a short musical program, the men werfe entertained by the young ladies in a most delightful manner. Our concert in Racine was, as Mr. Shakespeare has it, “ a very palpable hit.” The audience became so enthusiastic that after our last number they dared us to come back. Some of the members did return and it was then occurred “ the palpable hit ” that has been mentioned. An unvaccinated egg is, perhaps, not the best conveyance for one’s appreciation. The personel of the clubs will be practically unchanged next year and the great success of the home concert for 1900 gives ever)’ indication that at future concerts students will experience the pleasure of hearing the finest musical clubs in the history of the Institute chant the praises of A.

It was the old game over again — the last of a series. This game was important. It loomed big because it was to decide the season, and the present season is, by reason of proximity, a :r of greater moment than all the seasons of the combined. This is natural, for the rigor of the i on the floor is more intense than that of all the Alumni and old-timers relate. This is true be- athletics, as in some other things, the joy is in we feel, and an indifferent fight of unmatched Is more intimately than all the battles of dead kings. So the crowd that gathered in the Gymnasium was quiet. Even the “ outside ” girls, brought by fellows who usually came alone, were hushed by the tension in the air. There was a slightly louder hum for a moment when the Left Guard brought in the Girl and seated her under the ladder by the west wall. But the sensation was little and short lived, for the Left Guard was not a popular favorite. His place on the team had always been uncertain. In fact, many won- dered how he got there at all. Of course, it was only because Wines had left school, and there was no one else in sight. Not that the Guard did not know the game, for he did—few better. Also he kept his head, and followed his man reasonably well. But that was all he did. There was the seat of the trouble. He had neither the strength for rushing play, the speed for sensa- tional coups de force, nor the brilliancy in seizing opportunity as Fate decreed it, for a star. He lacked the genius of the game. So the gathering crowd forgot him as soon as the dressing-room door closed behind him. The Girl was of greater interest—but all topics yielded to the coming contest. And then the Right Forward, surnamed the Majestic One. appeared clad in battle array and grave importance, with just a dash of self-sufficiency. He came in and surveyed the crowd with head erect and frowning brow. At last he found the Girl and walked over to the west wall with a condescending gait. II7 Her greeting called him back to earth. But he was filled with the pride of the flesh as he sprawled at her feet. 'For the crowd was speaking of him. “ Where’s the boy I brought ? ” she asked’. “ Who’s he ? ” “ The Left Guard.” “Oh. him.” “ Well ” “ Nothing. He’s here, I suppose.” The Majestic One was silent for a moment, while he tried to get his rub- ber shod foot into a position to upset a Freshman who was explaining to an outside girl what was about to be. Finding the leg of the Freshman’s stool too far off, he desisted. The Girl was looking at the dressing-room door. Things were not going well. “ He’s a kind of permanent substitute,” said the Forward. The Girl paid no attention. He repeated the assertion and she said “Oh,” noncombatively. Then she lapsed into silence. He made a final effort to interest her with tales of Fond du Lac last year. He said that if she thought this was a good crowd she ought to have been there the night of the second game. She said something to the effect that if he thought that was great he’d orter see her big brother The Right Forward was ruffled. He strolled over to the dressing room “to see if those bloomin’ skates weren’t pretty near ready.” He was tired of waiting, he said. Five minutes passed. The teams came out and practiced passing the ball and throwing baskets. The crowd found congenial things to say. The game was called. The first half was played as many another first half has been played; hard and fast, a game of tense muscle, instant eye, and leaping blood. The play was clean in purpose and intent, but too fast for perfect control, and fouls were numerous: but because the intentions were evident they were allowed to pass. The umpires were enjoying the game. So were the Fox and the Cow, the Right Forward and the I ft Guard, the Girl and the Crowd. When the half ended, the score was a tie. Which is always a good thing for the game. The Right Forward went and sprawled on the mattress again. The Guard went to the dressing-room and drank water furtively. He was thirsty. The Forward confided to the Girl that he was going to win the game in the second half. That was the burden of his song. Literally, he said, “We’ve got ’em just where we want ’em. That man o’ mine's a cinch. If we lose it won’t be my fault. I’ve got him winded now.” The Girl was glad to hear it. I 18 The Forward continued his dissertation, remark- ing, among other things, that if it were not for certain weak spots in the rear, the team might easily look for the Western Basket Ball Championship. The Girl re- plied absent-mindedly. Her preoccupation seemed to him to have a shade of sarcasm in it, and he re- sented it. “ You don’t seem to take much interest in the game,” he said at last. “ Yes, I do. You know I do.” He could not understand this girl. Here was the best game of the season, the swellest crowd, and him- self devoting his time and glory to her alone. And yet she seemed unsatisfied. Perhaps, he thought, she was “ the woman who never could understand.” So the Majestic One rose, and said he needed some courtplaster on his elbow. And she smiled sweetly upon him before he went for the plaster. When he was gone she bit her lip and frowned delicately, thinking of what he had said about the weak spots in the rear. She also recalled his wish that Wines might be in his old place, just for tonight. She knew that the Left Guard had once been a fellow named Wines. But that was before she took an interest in the game. The second half started with a rush. The men came into it under in- tense strain, and they were not yet sufficiently i ired to become indifferent. But the play was too fast for the Left Guard. He told himself he was doing his best. The crowd and the score told him that was not good enough. Then, because he was tired, he asked himself what was the use. And because in the midst of strife no answer came, his man made two baskets—both of which he should have blocked. Then he asked himself the same question once more, and tripped a man hard by way of showing that there was no answer. The man fell, and the Right Forward swooped down on the ball and threw a goal from the farther end of the Gymnasium. The Guard’s reasoning failed at that point. For he could not see why the Forward should be given credit for winning the series —the throw was the one which decided the game—merely because he had tripped a man. His conscience smote him fortripping; on this subject his conscience was generally silent. Then the Guard decided that there really was no use; and he jabbed his man sharply in the ribs to prove it. The game was slower now, and more strictly watched. The man protested with what breath he had left (a sharp I 19 blow on one’s ribs does not conduce to fluency of diction), and the Guard was sent out of the game. Nothing more happened until time was called, when the Majestic One was carried three times around the Gymnasium, and Pandemonium reigned in the proud house of Armour. Afterward the Girl waited for the Guard to come out of the dressing- room. He came in due time, and was just helping her to put on her jacket when the Right Forward appeared. “ Aw, going so soon ?he asked. “ Yep,” said the Guard shortly. “ Aren’t you coming over to the House? We’re going to have a little celebration, you know.” “ Really, we can't wait,” said the girl. “ That’s too bad. Why. I’ve hardly seen you tonight.” “ That, my lord, is your misfortune,” said the Girl. As the Girl and the Left Guard were waiting for the elevator, the Majes- tic One heard her say, “Too bad you had such luck. I’m so sorry.” And she laid her hand lightly on the Guard’s arm. The Majestic One cursed softly, and meditated on the vanity of all things. For he had tasted the sweets of triumph and they were not good. The Man at the Window.

(The Class came five minutes late.) He told a Literary Member that he, the Instruc- tor, was at Heart a Poet and an Idealist. This Member had been connected with The Fulcrum, so he took this Guff and never Batted an Eye. He said it Stuck Out all Over and said it was Ice not to be allowed to Follow one’s own Pace.

Then comes the joy. The stone is set in place and all is ready, yet they cannot manage nOw to see the roof which sheltered them, ah me! The tears they shed, my tale should end. The heroes are back, you comprehend. 132 §j traj Suffis from a diratmatc’g JDtpc OMETIME when you happen to be meandering around a technical school just ask one of the Freshmen—no need to describe the species, you’ll know what they are even if you have never seen one before—what he expects to do when he graduates. If he is a healthy, normal specimen he will, in all probability, inform you that his present troubles are suf- ficient to keep him busy without worrying about the hereafter. Four years are eternity to a Freshman. It is only necessary' to repeat the question, perhaps in a little different way, and he will confidentially assure you that he expects to start in on engineering work. “Wages?” Well, he might work for a salary of §1,500 a year for a short time, until he has gained a little practical knowledge. When assailing a Soph, it is comforting to remember that he is not as bad as he thinks he is. In answer to “ Say, old man,” he slows down from seventy miles per hour, clear track, and 210 lbs. of steam and becomes amiable. Hut in reply to the same question that was put to the Freshman he will gravely inform you that he has important business on hand; in fact, he is a member of an arbitration committee to decide when and where Freshmen shall be allowed to smoke pipes. Probably the easiest way to distinguish a Junior is by the number and size of the books which accompany his various wanderings. There are sundry- other marks of classification which are apparent to the initiated, but the fore- going is sufficiently accurate. The Junior will invariably tell you that he has several positions in view: he has corresponded with the Terrestrial Magne- tism Co. and several other large concerns. He will decide before he enters his senior year and will choose thesis work accordingly. Wise Junior! Approach the Senior reverently ; observe the respectful manner of the Professors when they meet him and do thou likewise. Is he not the Whole Thing? Does he not own the institution? Verily, his ponderous tread doth convey awe to all whom he passeth, and the Freshman payeth trembling hom- age unto his greatness. Also the Sophomore and the Junior. Hut like all other things of earthly origin, even a Senior has a vulnerable point. Offer him seven dollars per week for his valuable services when he graduates and speak in a general way about “ prospects.” Ten to one he 133 accepts the proposition with all the unseemly haste of an elderly young lady receiving an offer of marriage. (The writer is a very fierce lady-killer. He has proposed to about twenty, more or less, consequently he speaks as an authority.) Not many ages have elapsed since a lovely bunch of happy and careless would-be engineers grasped their degrees and plunged into the conventional “ cold world. The world did not seem to- be particularly disturbed by the event, and its waters were not evaporated to any great extent. The ripples soon died away—they scarcely formed—but a merciful Providence provided six and seven-dollar life preservers for such of the aforesaid young engineers as had failed to secure a “ pull” and incidentally a better position. Most of them, however, have learned much that is not taught in schools during their brief “ practical experience.” But even those whose experience has been the most severely practical, the men who have worked as line-men, ice machine oilers, locomotive firemen, machinists’ helpers, etc., are not at all envious of their fellow graduates who, in the language of a certain Prof., have not been obliged to discount their expectations as greatly. The college man who accepts a menial position is usually consoled by a delightful inward sense of heroic condescension—but if he has enough plain “ horse-sense ” to supply him betwixt dusk and dawn he never attempts to show his imaginary superiority by word or action. The idea, which appears quite prevalent, that a strong prejudice exists against college men among the laboring classes is probably due to the tendency of some college graduates to “ put on airs.” American mechanics and the higher class of laborers are independent and free in expressing their opinions or any subject from expansion to the joys (?) of a pay-day jag. The man who conveys the idea that he belongs to a superior order usually discovers that the aforesaid ex- pression of opinion is not necessarily entirely vocal — ere long little Willie yearns for the soothing cigarette and cultured atmosphere of the Prat, house. On the other hand, if a man shows that he wants to learn the practical side of his work, and is not ashamed of his ignorance, he will receive plenty of assistance and not infrequently he is in a posi- tion where he can explain things to his teachers. The situation is clearly set forth by the remark made to a college man by a foreman : “ Now, if there is anything that you don’t know that 1 can help you on, don’t be afraid to ask me, and if I ask you any questions 1 shall expect you to help me.” The pro- cess of assimilation is generally rapid, and frequently the only means for a superficial observer to detect the college man is by the amount of profanity he uses. He either swears much more or much less than the others. The art of picturesque and lurid profanity is not necessarily confined to pirates and 134 farm hands. A college man with true artistic appreciation of the good, the true and the beautiful finds that his intellectual training is of great assistance in acquiring an effective vocabulary of profanity. There are. however, other pleasures fully as important as learning new cuss words.” The new surroundings and the class of men with whom he associates furnish entertainment which prevents time from passing too slowly. When these have begun to lose their charm for the fastidious college man something else excites his interest, he gets a different “ job ” or it is barely possible that he is promoted. At any rate, he gets along very comfortably and scarcely has time to think of the by-gone pleasures of college days. On the other hand he frequently murmurs a prayer of gratitude that he is de- livered from Calculus, Thermo Dynamics and other fiends of the past who habitually banished sleep until the small hours of the morning. It is not to be inferred that he now retires regularly at 9.00 p. m., but if he does not he has only himself to blame, or, maybe the girl’s clock stopped. Hut the old pipe is beginning to draw hard and. with difficulty, transforms personal ex- periences and idle fancies into a hazy smoke of generalization. And while the ashes are being removed and fall slowly to the floor some graduate of the future is saying, “ Poor chump, he tries to jolly himself along because he didn’t get a good position.” In a lower tone he continues, “But there is no reason for a good man accepting such a position; I shall wait until I get what I want.” Possibly ; but how long will he wait ?

I trust you will say I have told it well. The maid was a beauty of great renown In an upper-ten part of an upper-ten town ; Her face was a dream, and so was her gown;— You may see for yourself and note them down. (The lovely maid appears in the shadou and exhibits her many charms.) The name of the maid Til reveal forthwith. Tis a name suggestive of strength and pith ; I’m sure you will say it is not a myth: Penelope Knglewood, middle name Smith. ( The lovely maid vanishes I) The howling swell was a college man. Built on a rare and expensive plan : The girls, as he passed, to the windows ran, And sighed as only the dear girls can. Now he looked this way when the trouble began. ( The eyes of the spectators are allowed to feast on the howling swell.) 147 The WOOING of Penelope Englewood The name of this swell, I forgot to state, Was Plato Riley, surnamed the Great. As the custom ran to abbreviate, He was known in college as simply Plate; For such is the queer caprice of fate. ( The Ziowling swell disappearsy and the father is shcnon in his manly strength.) This is the father whom next I show, The head of Englewood Co. And you will find wherever you go, That his check is good for a million or so ; A pretty soft snap for Penelope’s beau; That is, if he happened to suit, you know. {The father retires and the mother makes her courtesy to the admiring publici) There is the mother, a woman rare; Of the burdens of life she assumed her share ; Of the Englewood house she had special care; But had always a moment or two to spare In a neighborly way, if wanted there. And while I admit it is hardly fair To lay these family secrets bare, I am forced to say that Englewood pere Was often a little the worse for wear, After a tiff, in the way of hair. And as for Penelope’s beaux, I swear I have frequently heard the boys declare Not one of the crowd would ever dare To enter the room and sit in a chair, Under her spectacles’ awful glare. 148 Which ill concealed her stony stare, The wooing of Penelope Englewood And added much to her austere air; While poor Penelope wondered where They could go to escape from Englewood mere. (The mother majestically fades away and Bobbie comes upon the scene.) This is the brother, a little boy, Whose presence at times was wont to cloy; For he always felt the keenest joy In juvenile purposes to annoy. And when Penelope was most coy, His fiendish arts he would employ. And her and her beau’s chagrin enjoy. (.Bobbie is withdrawn.) This is our prologue, then, in this You see our persome dramatis. If anything you may take amiss, Please have the politeness not to hiss. I know I shall show the dire abyss, Into which poor Plato was hurled from bliss, From venturing near a precipice;— The awful end of an ill-timed kiss. 149 The WOOIXi; of Fcnclop« Englewood A C T ONE TIfE A' SS Scen e, the family seated in the drawing-room. Pa is read- ing the evening pager. Mother is remonstrating with Bobbie, ioho is performing in the manner peculiar to his youth. Penelope is reading a book. Plato is ushered in. In the family circle Penelope sat; Her heart went rapidly pittity-pat; And a very good cause there was for that. For Plato had entered the room, whereat The old man thoughtfully reached for his hat. And on persuasion the small boy gat Up stairs with his Ma for a family spat, And such diversion as conies with a slat. (The family retire, as indicated, leaving Penelope alone with Plato.) Young Plato was tickled to death to find Penelope's folks so uncommonly kind ; And he said to himself: “It’s a regular grind On the rest of the fellows-but why should I mind? For some time past 1 have opined, That to me Penelope's half inclined, While the family seem to be resigned. As all can see, if they are not blind.” And lie smoothed himself before and behind, With the air of a man who has dined and wined. ( Vato greets Penelope, and expresses his satisfaction.) 150 These thoughts went through Penelope’s head, And all to herself she communed and said: “If ever I am induced to wed, Or into a summer engagement led, ’Twill be when Plato allays my dread. And gives me comfort and hope instead, With his college wisdom and air high-bred.” Then a maidenly blush o'er her features spread, And a lustrous smile round the room she shed, Which, in college parlance, got Plato “ dead.” (.Penelope modestly acknoudedges Plato's greeting with an entrancing smile.) When Plato had taken a proffered seat. And fully composed his hands and feet, He remarked that Penelope looked quite sweet; Which, by way of a starter, was certainly neat. {Plato compliments Penelopei) Thereat Penelope fain did blush ; For a minute or two fell an awkward hush; Which assured the youth at the very first flush. He had made what in college is called a “ crush.” {Penelope blushingly acktumdedges the compliment.) Then close to the maiden he drew his chair. So close, in fact, that I must declare There was precious small room, if any, to spare; And this, 1 am told by the girls, is where They came to regard him so debonnaire. {Plato draws a chair close to Penelopei) I5I The WOOING of Penelope Englewood The WOOING of Penelope Englewood They talked for a while as young folk should; And Plato, as only Plato could.

Peeped shyly at him behind her fan, And wondered was ever on such a plan Another man made since the world began. (.Penelope coyly admires Plato.) Then, quite unconscious, you understand, He caught in his own the fair girl’s hand : For he had plenty at his command, Of what in college is known as “sand.” (Plato ensnares the hand of Penelopei) Of course she blushed, and at first essayed To withdraw her hand, like a modest maid: Not that she was in the least afraid. Or wished for a moment to upbraid ; But because she wanted the rules obeyed. Never in college to skip a grade. (.Penelope modestly endeavors to disengage her hand.) But Plato was too intent to see A fact so apparent to you and me; With eloquent gesture and fancy free. He warmed to his ardent task, while she. With looks as loving as looks can be, 152 The WOOI NO o Penelope Knglewood By way of encouragement, said, “tee-hee!” Not much of a speech you -will agree. But a sign of assent from a bargainee. (.Plato makes many demonstrations of affection, while Penelope modestly giggles.) And so it happened with proper haste. Young Plato’s arm stole round her waist; A stroke in tennis they call well placed, And on rational expectation based. {Plato embraces Penelope.) Penelope smiled, and a sweet surprise Stole into her blue confiding eyes; And she said to herself: “If this youth applies His mind to his books and what in them lies In this vigorous way, no wonder he’s wise.” Then she heaved a few contented sighs. And leaned on his bosom and asked no whys. {Penelope rests her head on Plato's shoulder.) Thus Plato sailed on a sea of bliss. And he said to his heart, “ What’s the matter with this ?” Which is college for saying there’s naught amiss. But here’s where they stood near a deep abyss ; For he went too far, and purloined a kiss. {Plato kisses Penelope with a resounding smack.) 1 53 The WOOING of Penelope Englewood ACT TWO THE EXPLOSION SCENE i. Now it chanced that the boy, who, I have said, Had been sent to the chamber overhead, And carefully tucked in his nice warm bed, Was into a scheme of villainy led By depraved Old Nick, whom we all should dread. {Bobbie is revealed in his nice bed.) And plotting revenge on his sister’s beau, As the reason why he had been treated so, Before the time when he ought to go, He made up his mind that he’d quietly show The danger of making a boy your foe. {Bobbie plans a fearful revenge for his banishment I) So out of his nice warm bed he crept. And over the floor he softly stepped ; One eye on his mother’s room he kept, For he knew, this rascally young adept. That if she surmised that he had not slept. His plans she would certainly intercept. {Bobbie departs on his mission of vengeance.) And he recalled with ghoulish glee, And side remarks of maligni , That among his treasures there ought to be 154 The WOOING of Penelope Englewood SCENE 2. Still stepping softly, he stole down stairs ; And he laughed when he saw the close-drawn chairs, And the critical state of love’s affairs. He thought of his Ma and the shoe she wears, But he said like a boy of spunk : “ Who cares ! ” (Bobbie approaches the enemy.') scene 3. Now Plato was busy, as you have learned: The fire of love in his bosom burned; And still for another kiss he yearned From the lovely mouth to his own upturned. And this is why he had not discerned That the boy from his bed-room had adjourned. (.Plato, intent on other business, is unconscious of the advance of the enemy.) Penelope, too, was quite intent To know exactly what Plato meant: Although the evening was well-nigh spent, And she knew it was time the young man went. To the matter in hand her mind she bent, And such assiduous heed she lent. And gave such gratified assent To each osculatory incident. That she did not think it pertinent To provide against a dire event. (.Penelope is likewise distracted by more pressing a fairs.) A suitable joke on his enew v. Prepared by the heathenish Chinee, For just such times of emergent. (Bobbie provides himself with a fire-crasher.) 155 The WOOING of Penelope Englewood So into the room the demon came;— Bobbie, in fact, was his other name;— And gleefully he surveyed his game, And prepared to annihilate the same. I say it with proper sease of shame. (The enemy enters.) Plato, you see, had reached that state Which grows in warmth as the hour grows late; And all unconscious of their fate, And the fierce revenge which the boy would sate, The lovers sat. Said he : “ It’s great! ” “ I’m glad you like it,” said she to Plate. But she said to herself : “ At the present rate, I shall not have a very long time to wait, For in college slang he has struck his gait; ’ Though I’m bound to explain that slang I hate.” (The lervers commune more c osely.) Crawling slowly to Plato’s chair, Bobbie grinned at the luckless pair. You have not a moment, young man, to spare, Fly for your life ! go anywhere ! Vain my entreaty and vain my prayer; Who thinks of danger in love’s affair ? ( The enemy cautiously advances I) Under the chair he placed a pail, And in it his weapon ;—pray heaven he fail! Though such result would have spoiled my tale, And also a very good rhyme in “ ail.” ’Tis Nick against Cupid;—now which will quail ? ( 7'he enemy gets his batteries in position.) 156 The WOOING of Penelope Englewood I pray you all who have heard this lay, Fearfully turn your heads away ; For I’ve come to the point where I must say, That those, for whom firing spoils a play, And who wish to leave the audience, may ; For each small boy must have his day, Or rather his night;—so go or stay. ( The enemy intimates his plan of operations, and sus- pends hostilities till non-combatants can retire.) The bird in the lovers’ hearts still sang, But was soon to feel the serpent's fang; For a loud report through the chamber rang, And the weapon went oil with a dreadful bang. High in the air young Plato sprang ! {The enemy having placed the fire-cracker in the pail, applies the match and the explosion follows.) While we have seen young Plato soar, And the wicked Bobbie sneak through the door, Penelope lay upon the floor, Pale and presumably drenched in gore. We see the curtain drop, before Old Englewood, with a muffled roar Strode in, and smote young Plato sore. Dropped he, like pine on barren shore. Together they lie—in clotted gore. E. D. F.

Vise her ’Mid the silken, perfumed elegance Within a stately house, I’ve heard its rich tones ringing Through the wilderings of Strauss, And I’ve heard the sigh of gentle ones, Who listened while it bore To charmed hearts the sweetness Of the touching Trovatore. I’ve heard it in the evening, Within a quiet home, Sing “Sewanee River” till the bees Came “humming ’round the comb”; 'Mid the phases of the wassail And the joys of festal cheer I’ve heard it change from grave to gay, From lively to severe. In tender tones of pleading. In sighs of spent delight, In greetings to the morning, And in good-byes to the night; In storms upon the ocean, And in the songs of birds, I’ve heard its voice, like living thing, In sweetest human words. I’ve heard it give, stentorian. Command in battle’s blare, And heard it whisper, soft and low. Like angels in the air. ’Mong brawny men in mining camps, I’ve seen it hush a brawl. Till clenched hands are open palms, That in each other fall. I’ve seen it gather little ones About the player’s knee, As did the babes of olden time ’Round Him of Galilee. And to it oft I’ve listened Till all the world was kin, While, lovingly, its master played— The Governor’s Violin. William Lightpoot Vischrk. l62 JHr.

When ye feel like ye’d wish to see somethin’ wild, an a dog fight is too tame an’ a horse race not suffishently unsartain, take yer family an’ see baskit ball.” “Av it’s onythin’ like baskit parties.” interrupted Hennessy, “I don’t care fur thim, they're too much like a fixt raffle. Wanst I----” “Gwan,” said Mr. Dooley, “ye’re clear off ye’re switch. This, I tell ye, is a game. Th’ foinest game on the fiure (they play ut on a flure, in a jimnazhum.) An’ I tell ye. Hinnissy, ’tis hot. Better than foive good scraps goin’ on to onct in th’ same ring. There’s foive on a side, ye see, an each iv them gits his man an’ pastes him. An’ if wan gits another’s man, an gits caught, ’tis a foul, an’ they all stop till ’tis settled or apoligized for. Thin they have some funny bizniss about throwin’ a big ball in a little baskit. But that’s merely incidintal. “ ’Tis a great thing. Hinnissy. Th’ bhoys all comes out in thick panties an’ sthriped shirts. An’ th’ girls come onyway, so they git ther’. They walk frum Rahway if they can’t ketch a feller wid car fare. “The game itsilf is somewhat queer. I can niver get onto th’ countin’ iv ut. Iv coorse, the wan that Ian’s the most on the ribs without bein’ caught is the best man. But trippin’ counts too—I fergit how much. I think, though, that three clean falls puts yer man out iv the game. There’s wan little man I saw put out two that way. But ’twas all he was good fer. His licks other- wise lacked weight. “There was wan interlood in a game that was about as pritty as anythin’ I iver seen Corbett do whin he was in his prime. Two bhoys, wan av thim stout with big hips an’ a beautiful fightin’grin, an’ wan lank with big shoulders an’ a sleepy look, pastin’ each other, proper an’ accordin’ to the rules. Thin th’ ball come along, an’ they both started fur it. Th’ tall wan tried to thrip, 164 but ’twas too late, so he set an elbow in the other feller’s neck. Th’ other wan ducked an’caught th’ long man on his hips. The long man would av gone clean over, but he twisted his right round the short bhoy’s neck an’ gin ’im a short arm with th’ left in th’ ear. Thin they clinched. On the break- away they both landed heavy an’ fell to trippin’ each other. While they was doin’ that somewan threw th’ ball in th’ little dinky basket on the wall, an’ they stopped the game fur ter git it out. That is wan iv the rules. But they didn’t count nothin’ fur the baskit, because the long man missed his first try a trippin’. Aw, ’tis a great game. The’ was a gyurl set befure me an’ she went near crazy. Cuddent set quite fur foive siconds. She seemed to be watchin’ th’ laad wi’ th’ hips, an’ wanst, whin the big feller poked ’im, she screemed like it was her ’twas hit. Sh’ ’ad wan ’er these lityal linnen hankches an’ wound it inter a rope in two minyits. An’ whin they stopped wanst she says out loud, ‘Oh they’ll put ’im out,’ she says, an’ I says what fer, I dinnow,’ an’ she kinder turned aroun’ and looked grateful, same like whin’ ye set Jaun up th’ drinks. She was a foine gyurl, with light rollin’ hair and complexshin.’ An’ whin they let th’ laad go sit in the cornder, she wept distressing aw, ye niver seen nawthin’ like ut.” “ But,” said Mr. Hennessy, “who won th’ game?” “Well,” said Mr. Dooley, “they didn’t say, but fer all the bhoy had ter quit at th’ ind, he’d put four good min to th’ flure before. They gin th’ game to him.” € tutorial SOMEWHAT contrary to the general rules laid down for a College Annual is an editorial page. In spite of, or it may be on account of this fact, it seems as well to insert a few explanations in that way. After study of the greatest obtainable number of Annuals, and the receipt of opinions from a number of readers thereof, we reached the decision that a large amount of the matter in the usual Annual could be omitted, and with advantage. About one half of the matter generally run is of no interest whatsoever, and so far from demanding a second reading, it does not deserve even a first. At the risk of censure, which however, is a matter of course, we determined to leave this matter unprinted. The majority of it will be found either in the Year Book of the Institute, or in the previous Annuals. Our endeavor has been to find material that will not lose all its flavor with the present year, and we offer this book as the result of our collection of prunings. The dedication of this book was made to the only ones of our Armour family who had left us. Since that was determined. Death has again entered, taking with him first our trustee Philip Danforth Armour, Jr., and later, William Warren, of the class of '99. We speak for the institution in our regret at the loss of these, our friends, and in expressing to their families our most earnest and heartfelt sympathy. Our acknowledgment this year applies only to artists, with one or two exceptions. The literary matter submitted showed little or no merit, with the result that there are but two such articles in the book. This may or may not be desirable, but a greater amount of interest in matters literary might be counseled. Especial attention is devoted this year to our Academy, and we recommend this custom to our successors in this particular line of notoriety. £l)c Other “faints ant) dinners!’ Corner” Beyond the Dread River and Hard by the I,ake That bumeth with Brimstone «5?� Fire, There standeth an Edifice built for the sake Of Mortals of bookish desire. ’Tis not in high Heaven, this Book-hunter’s haunt Nor lies it in Satan's Domains, But midway between them—a moderate juant By slow Purgatorial Trains.

They heard from the nearby campus then The sound of voices sweet As the various teams, on the budding green, Were practising; and there could be seen The college river, which might have been The gutter in the street. The elevator started up With Willie in the cage; The library stood dark and grim, Empty of every her and him, For they were crowding to the Gym, Maiden, and fool, and sage, Picture yourself a floor of cork, Of rubber and of glue. Also a bunch of howling 'Cads, Matrons and maidens, men and lads, A few co-eds and under-grads, And one alumnus, too. Such was the crowd that filled the hall This sombre winter's day. And when the teams came on the floor From that packed mass there came a roar. From pinnacle to basement door It scared the rats away. 178 Owing to pressure on the space Alas, I must omit All mention, in this classic hymn, Of slender Harris’ slender limb, And as for Jens’s fighting trim, I may not speak of it. And possibly it would be well If I should intimate That I leave out each scrap or fight In that first half when the score was tight, ’Tween Soph and gentle ’Cademite, Lest I should talk too late. Let now the ancient chronicler Take out his fountain pen, Or grab a pencil, sharpen it, Or brush his shorthand up a bit. His system? William taught him it In 66 and io. The intermission came, and all Was silent as the tomb, When suddenly a yell there came, Shaking the building’s great big frame (And no connection with the game) That circled thru the room. The worthy Sophomores obtained A bit of paper. Then They painted there in figures tall “Naught, two,” and mounted on the wall— Or pranced around on nothing at all And then came down again. 09 But on this memorable day They pulled their little string, And left their placard standing there, Over the arc light’s shimmering glare, And the crowd, they somehow seemed to care, And howled like anything. But when their howl it floated down The elevator shaft It came to the ears of our friends, the Deans, With whom this epic, I think, begins, And caused them anything but grins. In fact, it drove them daft. So to the Gym they came amain Fair dancing in their shoes, And when they came upon the scene, a Youth was hanging o’er th’ arena In a pose calculated to suit a Dean, a Wise Prof to amuse. It was not their intention, though, To join the giddy fray. But if they’d waited till things had lulled For their orders to cease, the noise annulled, They wouldn’t have had their whiskers pulled Before they went away. The flowers that bloom in the spring Had nothing to do with the case. So that’s what I mean when I say or I sing Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the spring, For the flowers that bloom in the beautiful spring Had nothing to do with the case. i So The FULCRUM Published by the Soph omore Class of Armour Institute of Technology NOTWIT H ST A N I) ING t he indubitable fact, though diamet- rically opposite and contrary to well-nigh every clearly defined right and precedent, that the subject - mat- ter herein treated in our most approved discursive style is of the utmost impor- tance and the greatest moment, and that the startling revelations hereby made public are of immeasurable value to the human race, are moreover lx und to attain that unparalleled supremacy in the world of letters which has hitherto been ac- corded to the epistolary efforts from our gifted pen, it must after this skilful ex- position be patent to all that the afore- said asseverations are plain, unvarnished truth. SCI E X C E Returns having come in from our Philippine correspondents expressing their delight in our last ray from the scientific sun, we will reprint, for the benefit of those who did not see it, our leading science article on “ The Economic Value of Roasted Peanuts,” which ap- peared in our last month's issue. The argument of this essay begins with the birth of the little nut, diverging long enough to trace its names, common and scientific, back to the old Latin root Pindarittus GoobercenttmUlogareprotelari- atae, tracing its early education and en- vironment. and finally bringing the history down to 216 Canal. L TE R A R V Owing to a severe headache on the shoulders of our contributor, there is no literary column this month. We did have something literary once, and only once. Another time our president wrote us a poem. As I said, there is nothing literary this month. That stuff under the literary cap was written by the Liter- ary Editor. S O Cl A L [From the Ypsilanti Yahoo.] Mrs. Q. I)e Bullion Smythe gave a luncheon to a select party of 113 of the social lionesses of the Academy at the Comet Tuesday last. The table was set in drab and dark brown. Smiley served. One of our guards took a girl in- stead of a basket-ball suit to a recent l8l The FULCRUM game on the West Side. The girl was better looking and several shades cleaner than the suit, though we don’t mean to suggest that this had anything to do with the choice. Our worthy graduate professor, L.

NORMAL DOMESTIC SCIENCE The object of this department is to elevate and dignify the home, to beautify and enhance the family and domestic ties. The president of our society is an earnest- minded Christian worker, who has run various things. She has figured exten- sively in glee clubs and things. It is seldom one sees so many qualities com- bined in so small a receptacle In our society there is also a secretary and one or two members. OUR ACADEMY At a recent meeting of the Debat- ing Society, Mr. Hart introduced the orator of the evening in a splendidly sus- tained effort of eloquence of 103 minutes duration. The ten-minute talk by the orator, immediately following was much appreciated. When a girl becomes personal property, the owner is lucky in that he has to pay no tax on her. THE MAN AT THE WINDOW They say that the Man at the Win- dow has made himself highly obnoxious in certain quarters—and at the same time highly popular in others.

Freeman's idea of a good joke Cl)f l amt)lc0 of J tlltam (Soat The Institute stood dark and still, The students had gone home, No lights gleamed from the window-sill Nor lit the darkened gloam. The janitor had gone away, He was not there about; And last of all the fire, they say, Went up the flue and out. Twas at the solemn midnight hour When owls and bats do gloat, That from his lofty ash-heap tower Came walking William Goat. He came, the beast of all most feared, With slow, majestic tread. He stopped and stroked his long grey beard, And this is what he said: “ I long have seen this building here “Which men call Institute, “And I would gladly know what cheer “ It holds for man and brute.” Then nimbly up the steps he climbed And from cathedral spire The mystic hour of midnight chimed And William climbed up higher. As William mounted up the stair A clanking well defined Bespoke a meal of mixed hardware When last his goatship dined. Before the great front door he stopped, ’Twas held by triple bar, Then instantly his head was dropped And that door felt a jar. The door passed into history And William passed within. Now might he solve the mystery; His face lit with a grin. I le visited the cooking school And from a handy shelf. Like many a less and younger fool, Old William helped himself. ’Twas but a biscuit, but alas! It made Will pound his hoof, For though he could eat nails and glass He was not bullet-proof. A sadder but a wiser goat Went down the great front stairs. The Institute may sink or float For all that William cares. 185 On the following page may one find the exploits of the Class of Nineteen Hundred as compiled from the Archives 186 Finding this page wholly inadequate for the subject a complete account of tlie achievements of this phenomenal aggregation will he found on the following pages: 9. j. 6. to. 19. t6, 38. y . 34. 6.48. 54. 60.70. 78. 8a. 86. 90, 94. 98. 04. na. u6. ato “Oh, that ain't fair, gosh, why don’t you give ’em everybody, M r.

Secretary Parker of the Intercollegiate Department addressed the students at this meeting. He stated the objects and advantages of such an association among the students of this Institution. In meetings which followed, the regular Constitution and By-laws of the Intercollegiate Department of the Y. M. C. A. were adopted after such minor changes as were necessary had been made. The following officers were then elected for the term of one year: Prof. McClement is the member of the Faculty appointed on the Com- mittee of Management for the Intercollegiate Department. Regular meetings are held Tuesday afternoons at five o’clock in one of the class rooms of the Institute. Bible Study follows the devotional meeting at 5.30. Any member of the College or Academy is eligible to membership. Membership blanks can be obtained from officers. All students are welcome to all da'otional meetings and Bible study classes.

Was mobbed at Hammond. Indiand, and so he had to flee. He fled so fast he fairly flew, thro’ water, mud and rain, I doubt if any chimney flue so fast as he to gain The trolley car that on the track was waiting there for him. It was a hymn of praise, you bet—his chances were but slim. He jerked the bell rope and the car like lightning forward sped Just as a Mother-Hubbard squash struck Dowie on the head. To make things worse, the trolley broke—the car stood dark and still. While brick-bats wandered through the gloom or struck the window-sill. but you’ll be glad, my friends, to learn how our High Priest escaped, He just curled up beneath a seat, and while they stared and gaped And wondered why he was’nt killed, he just lay there and smiled, Although John Alexander was perhaps the least bit riled. At last when all the bricks were thrown, and all the windows broken, John Alexander rose and said: “I spake and I have spoken— I do not like you Hammond folk you’re wicked and bad-hearted; I’m full of window panes for you ! ” thus spoke he and departed. 190 i9i Cljarlrs augcr Wattgf)an The sudden and untimely death of Charles Gauger Vaughan caused deep sorrow among his classmates and many friends. His frank straight-forward- ness and his gentle and unassuming ways made him a general favorite among his fellows. His death occurred on September 9. 1899, when about to enter upon his graduating year in A. S. A. He stood high in all his classes and was a clever amateur artist, some of his sketches being placed on exhibition in the class rooms. It was in athletics, however, that he particularly shone. He held the Institute championship for the running high jump, his record being 5 ft. 0 in. He also held a record of 10 ft. in the pole vault, and did good work in other events. He could be depended upon to win points for Armour at every track meet. He was a charter member of the Omicron Kappa Pi Fraternity, and was one of the leading spirits of that society, taking part in all its social affairs. The loss of such a pure and noble spirit from among us is undoubtedly great, but while regretting his loss, the comforting truth remains to those who knew and loved him, that he lived. CHARLES GAUGER VAUGHAN 193 Chr 0rtgtn of a. 5- C MAW j eople believe that the Ark stranded on Mt. Ararat but the log of that first (class) cruiser which Noah put in charge of Mr. Manning, who. as everyone knows, is an old-timer, when he shuffled ___________ off this mortal coil, proves conclusively that this opinion is errone- ------------- ous. The digest of this log is as follows: After the Deluge had reached its height, it began to recede very rapidly, sometimes going down as much as five or six hundred feet in a day. Noah was cruising around in the Ark when one day he ran against a pole sticking out of the water a few feet. This upon being picked up proved to be the acromotor pole on the Auditorium tower. Although Noah did his best to save the instrument on it, it was hopelessly ruined. Noah, alarmed at this, gave command to heave the lead. It crashed through the skylight of the Studebaker building. This so alarmed Noah that he came about on the port tack and sailed due south on Michigan avenue until he came in sight of the top story of the Seipp cottage at Thirty-third and Michigan. Here he put his helm to starboard, intending to make Halsted street, thinking that he would find something wet, even if everything else was dry. But the waters fell too quickly to allow this proceed- ing. When he reached State street there was only about ten feet of water, and just as he reached Armour avenue the waters sank away completely, leaving him stuck firmly in the Chicago mud. Seeing that nothing else could be done, Noah, after much deliberation, decided to turn the Ark into a school. In this he secured the assistance of Mr. P. 1). Armour, who was an intimate friend of his son Ham. Noah, out of gratitude, named the school Armour Institute. Main. Shem, and Japhet became the first students. They of course entered in the Academy, and as they advanced other classes came in, and so by the time they entered the Tech, the Academy was in flourishing circumstances. It had obtained a lead over the Tech which it has never lost, and it is today the most important part of the school. One day Ham was studying in the library, when Shem entered and said to him, in a rather loud stage whisper. “Say, Ham. what is the English lesson for today ? ” “I don't know.” answered Ham; when Prof. Gore assigned it last time he didn't talk 194 loud enough for me to hear.” At this point Miss Van Vliet approached and said: “ We do not allow studying together in the library. You will kindly go outside and do your talking.” While on the Ark Noah had invented a certain kind of talking machine, which, once wound up, would talk on forever, and had made two of this invention. He had donated these to the school and they, by the process of evolution (see Darwin) had taken most surprising characters and finally emerged from the above-mentioned process in the shapes of R. M. Lowenthal, ’oi. and L. F. Falk, ’02. They still retain their “ talk-011 - forever” qualities. One day, while a freshman’Cad, Japhet, in Elementary Latin, arose to ask Prof. Seeligmann a question, but by the time he had finished his name, it was time for the class to adjourn. One of the many things which bothered students in the ’Cad was why Prof. Brewster blushed so heavily whenever any of the pretty young ladies in the front row asked him a question. This is a point which has not been decided yet. Mr. Hart, ’oo, and Barton Hill Sackett Esq., ’01. got into an argument the other day about the question. Sackett kicking (after his usual habit) because it was so, and Hart arguing just for the sake of arguing. Each constituted a committee of one for the decision, and each one decided in favor of himself. '95 Scatiemp ftcprcscntattocs M. M. Mart ) W. C. G. Wilson f L. F. WORMSER ) R. M. Lowenthal L. R.

[ Signed] Academy Representatives 196 197 I.. K. I.EVINGS M, M. HAKT RTHUR JENS, the popular athlete of our Academy, was bom Nov. 9, 1879, n Rock Island, 111. Being of an athletic temperament, he became interested in all sports when very young, and was a con- sistent participant in them. He first be- came a member of a large team in 1897, when he was a center on the Rock Island foot-ball team. In the same year he made the teams and made a reputation as the all-around athlete of the school. His bicycle work is especially worthy of mention, as he carried off first honors in the tri-city high school meet. He came to Armour in ’98, making full-back in the college team. He also made the track team, entering in the shot-put and relay running at Lake Forest. In 1899 Jens was elected the Academy representa- tive to the athletic board and also captain of the Academy football team. He was the star full of the preparatory schools. Mr. Jens is also a member of the basket-ball team, the debating society and the Mu Delta Sigma. But it must not be thought that Mr. Jens’ abilities lie alone in physical lines, as he is one of the best students in the Academy, and his record is an enviable one. 4k 4k oip 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 0 Qj[4k 0 0 4k $ 0 4k 0 a 198 Jftttd; atio about Hess titan i otlttng: 3U ®ratorical fit in (Tljrfr Contotiletonc D R A M A T S P E R S O X A E Hart......................

It was cold, too, and, after seating herself, she loosened her fur collarette to get a better view of the Armour “Tech.” pin on the lapel of her coat. Didn't it look nice? It was John’s, too. She hastily refastened her collarette in a self-con- scious manner, only to loosen it again. Next to her sat a young man, deep in the mysteries of calculus. He looked up as the guard called “Thirty-fifth,” and he noticed an Armour pin on the floor. Hastily putting his hand to his vest, he found his pin was gone and reached to pick it up. He was about to fasten it in its place, when Elinor ex- claimed. “1 beg pardon, but that pin is mine.” She noticed him, for the first time, just as he was reaching for it, and discovered her pin was gone too, and so the question. Ellis was surprised and amused and said, “ Really, you are mistaken. I am, I think, the owner of this pin, with a slight emphasis on the “ this.” “ I just dropped it off my vest.” Elinor’s cheeks were the color of red roses as she answered that she was sure he was mistaken, with an intimation of suspicion in her tone. Ellis, see- ing her in earnest (it is hard to disagree with a pretty girl), began to be vexed himself, for she evidently thought him a thief, when it occurred to him that he might have lost his pin coming from school, and she, then, would be right after all. and, as she still sat there with hand expectantly outstretched, he gave a short laugh and handed her the pin. Elinor, very much relieved, thanked him in a cold little voice and got off at the next station. 204 As she took off her wraps in the hall, upon reaching home, she wondered who he was; he certainly was fine looking. Then, to her astonishment, she noticed a Tech, pin caught in under the fur of her collarette, and his, yes, it must be his pin, on the lapel of her coat. She was very quiet that evening and also at the first class at school, much to the surprise of everyone. After the ten-thirty recitation she met John and told him all about it. and as she was talking He went by, and upon learning his name was Ellis, and that he was in Johns class, she wrote a cool little note, saying she had found an Armour pin. which, she thought, belonged to him and would return it. Then Elinor said, as she stuck the pin through the note, “ I didn’t apologize, did I? ” and told John to give it to him. Proud girl. John handed Ellis the note at lunch time and went off without saying a word in explanation. Ellis, after reading it, raised his eyebrows, laughed rather annoyedly, and put his pin in its accustomed place. The winter passed, and still Elinor Grey and Ellis were strangers. Elinor had said, when asked if she would like to meet him. “ She didn't care to, she believed,” and he seemed as indifferent. June came, and with it the graduating hop. As Elinor sat waiting for the music and trying to listen to John’s half-whispered compliments, her mind would turn to the fact that vacation was here and she wouldn't see Ellis until next fall, if then, and she didn't know him. and — but what did she care? He was noth Just then she realized John was introducing someone to her and looked up to find Ellis, yes Ellis, asking her if she would care to have a dance with him. She evidently did, for twice his name could be found on her program. Next fall when school opened Elinor wore an Armour • Tech.” pin on her shirt waist, but it wasn’t John’s. M. C.

Wormser, ’oi, a movement was started to form what the Academy has so long been lacking—namely, a debating society. Too much as to its merits cannot be said, nor can its place be termed second to any other organization in the school. It is a society in accord with the school and in harmony with the objects of the Institute's founding. At the first meeting which Profs. Monin and Gore addressed Merwin M. Hart, ’oo, was elected chairman, and B. H. Sackett, ’oi, secretary. A com- mittee, consisting of L. F. Wormser, ’oi, Miss J. Hodge, ’oi. Miss M. Clarke, ’oo, and J. Glidden, ’oo, was appointed to select the debaters, subjects for debaters, and judges. S'tgma Delta gorontp The Sigma Delta (24) Sorority was established by a few of the girls, in January, 1900. This organization was not intended to be a class affair and thus embraces members of the various classes. The object in forming this organization was to further the social relations existing among the girls of the Academy. The color which has been adopted is dark red. The charter members were the Misses Sylvia Weinberg,’01 : Viola Stern, ’00; Hortense Miller, ’02 : Marie McKvoy, ’00: Beatrice Hirsch, ’01 : Jennie Hodge. ’01; Mildred Hart- man, ’01 ; Clara Falter, ’01. and Clara Eisendrath, ’01.

Jens, Robinson, R. T. Fry, T. Walters, W. Walters, L. Byrne, W. Byrne, Libby, Rockwell, J. Card, J. 1). Brooke, W. Miller, Butterworth. Ruegnitz, Soper. Of these, Miller, Jens, the Walters, and Byrne brothers, Rockwell, Ruegnitz and Hollson came out regular, some few others came off and on, and the majority never came out at all. Walter Miller was captain, but through absolute lack of time he was compelled to resign his position, and Rockwell was elected in his place. As soon as Miller resigned, everything went backsliding, and certain ones of the irregular ones ceased to come altogether, and thus it went on until the day of the P. and S. game when it was found that there were not enough men to fill the positions. The best thing that could be done under the circumstances was to disorganize the team, which was done Oct. 6, ’99. There is no person that can be blamed; there are no three or four; the fault lies with the whole school. It was a deplorable affair in more ways than one. It meant no football team of any importance for a few years to come, it meant no spirit in theschool for quite a while; and lastly it showed a poor spirit among the players themselves.

CASUAL observer of life and things at Armour Tech has noticed the remarkable college spirit animating every breast. This is ideal, and, being so, is sarcasm. The vast majority of men may pretend to care for their classes or their college, but this pretence is stopped when the outlay of a little time or a little money is demanded. With the exception of a small band of patriots, far too small indeed, the student body is an apathetic set of pessimists. It is not that they are soured by their struggle for education, it is the lamentable don’t-care state of their minds that leads one to call attention to this prevailing stigma. By their groans and whining they endeavor to drown out all enthusiasm and spirit. They find great delight in decrying such foolish souls as take time from their study to put into senseless enterprises. Class rivalry is to be frowned upon and ignored. Study, and study only, is the aim of these cynics. If they could but look at themselves as they appear before the light in all their narrow-mindedness and selfishness, if they could but once taste the bitterness of exclusion from human interests and life, might not their eyes be opened ? Occasionally they do notice. When an enterprise fails, probably due as much to the lack of their support as to anything, who is louder in the I-told- you-so chorus ? It is evident to them that there has been mismanagement all through, and they certainly ought not to stand the loss who had no hand in the failure. Oh, ye of little faith !
