To the Memory of PHILIP DAN FORTH ARMOUR IVe therefore dedicate these pages QYlemortaf ($bbre66 of (p. ©. ($rmour A majestic oak, upon which we have gazed for years, under whose shade we have found refreshing coolness, by whose roots the flowers of beauty and fragrance grew, has fallen. It is not ours to gather about a ruin and to unite in words of lament, for too much has been given to the world in the life of him we honor. Through him has come to us a new revelation of the power God has lodged in humanity. We must not sorrow, and sorrow only that the oak has fallen; so deeply do the roots of this life run into the earth, so grandly did this life unfold under the influences of heaven. Ours must not be a sigh or a tear save as it is accompanied with a song of thanksgiving. Neither is it ours to gather here, where this great tree shaded so many with its kindly and genial influences and pronounce words of eulogy: for this oak was too massive, too grand, too simple and too sublime to harmonize with our poor ex- pression in words of description or of praise. Least of all, look- ing up into the open heavens and standing on the spot where this oak ruled in the sovereignty of its expanding beauty, need we apologise for its gnarled and twisted trunk and its knotted limbs, as we seek to remember more kindly influences, the various airs which played through the branches in all the moving seasons, the drifting tides of sunlight which flooded the leaves, and the count- less happy memories and inspirations which associated themselves with the tall and sovereign growth ever lifting our eyes and thoughts toward the skies. It is very hard to part with Philip Danforth Armour. The effect of his going continues. We who remain are like the lesser craft in a great river, which widens to a harbor of departure, over whose surface there has gone out to sea a monarch of the deep. We like to feel the evidences of greatness. It is almost enough that we realize the displacement and movement of the waters upon which our smaller boats must sail. A mighty and kingly thing, a great ship, indeed, bearing many precious things, bound for a far away shore, has somewhat lifted us by means of an impelled wave coming shoreward, as its own out-going was accomplished. Great- ness has been here and gone. A life of importance to the whole business and philanthropic world has vanished from our sight. The harbor lights are aware. The river is not yet calm. It is ours to take hold of the oars a little more firmly; to look a little more closely, and, perhaps, affectionately, at the treasures of the shores which are left, and above all to rejoice that no vastness of the sea, no mightiest storm, no distance of port to which that ship sails, can ever permanently separate us from the unique and ma- jestic thing we loved, or ever take entirely from us the lofty sky and the abysmal sea, deep answering unto deep—with whose mys- teries all things are safe, the sea and sky being the symbols of the love of God. Let us paint him as we knew him here. I dreamed the other night that there was a picture of Philip Danforth Armour hung in yonder great temple of commerce—the Board of Trade—and all that art might suggest or reflect of the qualities of an unsur- passed commercial genius was placed upon the canvas, by hands of accuracy and power, set to adequately limn and accentuate that countenance. There he stood, master and even monarch, the organizer of great movements, the creator of numberless enter- prises, undaunted in apparent defeat, self-controlled in peril, earn- est when others faltered, vanquisher of tempests, and ice and storm, the builder of a great fortune, and a beginner of a new era in the development of the resources of America. And I said: “That is not our picture.” And then I saw another picture, the picture that was created out of the colors which lie in your heart and mine, fellow-students, the picture that comes to us as we bring back the days when he came and lived the happiest nours with us and plan- ned with us for our Institute of learning, and hoped, while he pro- vided for some trembling and fallen one a means of escape from a blighted past and of entrance into a happier future, so that a new life and a new hope were created by his generosity and his courage. I saw the genial, humorous, even witty, bluft', hearty, healthful man in that vision; and 1 said, “If God will give me power and self- command, we will not lament; we will not apologize; we will simply make the picture out of our memories of the man we loved.” Fra Angelico, painting in Florence, found the tears mingling with his colors while he painted the figures which are im- mortal amongst the thousands celebrated in the country of religion and art; and it would now be easier far for my heart and for yours to pour out our feelings in tears. I think that all of them would be tears of gratitude; they would not be tears of sorrow. I could not be true to the massive manhood, the granitic character of Philip Danforth Armour, if 1 did not realize that his command to us, spoken out of the unknown land, is this: “Let the Sun- shine In.” It ought to be for us an occasion of grateful rejoicing. It must be an hour in which a better courage and hope shall come into your and my sleepy and weary veins. It must be an hour in which we shall find ourselves face to face with the supreme facts which help to make this picture of this life, with all that he had to fight and all that he had to acquire, furnishing a testimony to the triumph of God’s gooddess and God’s acting in and through humanity. As a little child he trusted God, at the last as at the first, and he was not afraid. F. W.

Whether this is due to his inherent goodness or his exalted dignity is a question which must he answered by each class according to their own conception of the sublime infinitude of the cosmic entity. To the ingenious Freshman, the pinnacular isolation of the Senior is a promised land of ripened grain rising from an overwhelming sea of verdancy. But think not that a Senior is seedy—he is toilworn. On account of the newly acquired self importance of the Sophomore, he views with somewhat diminished awe the dazzling effulgence of the corruscating Senior. Alas that this should he so; hut such is ever the case. No truly great man was ever without his detracting calumniators. The Juniors have supposedly reached what may he con- sidered their years of discretion, or at any rate, having cut their milk teeth, strive by exemplary (?) conduct to atone for heretical thoughts of bygone years. We with the unbiased judgment and unprejudiced eye of Seniority, recognise our great worth and the immensity of our loneliness. We are thrice solitary. We are lonesome in our goodness—goodness knows! In the vastness of our intellect we occupy a position of distinguished loneliness amidst the plehian mediocrity of our daily associates. We were erstwhile a puissant organization hut now we, 45 the Fifteen, mourn the thirty who also ran. Read the Blue Sky and consider what we.have lost. When you read the Fulcrum remember that we invade that. Forgive us; we knew not what we did! We do not wish to brag. We.could tell of hard fought battles bravely won; battles with other classes, battles with the Profs, from the lowest to the highest; and never have we met our match or trailed our colors in the dust. Alas for the men who fought at our side but now are far away. Yet why should we mourn? Is Pease not still with us whom we have taught to say “ By gosh?” And Roughhouse Cohen the i iolb. champion? Hast heard of the Seven Seas? Be- hold Lewis, the man with the seven A’s. Surely a crown- ing blessing. But we must close. With swimming eyes we say fore- well. Already we are beginning to speculate upon what the future may have in store for us. But, wherever we may be cast, let each and every one of us strive to reflect credit upon this college which has guided and aided us in master- ing those subjects which shall help us to be successful en- gineers and helpful men. 46 nrznuau.

The hand of the scribe trembles, as he realizes that from the point of his fountain pen, must flow the history of such an illus- trious class as that which will leave Armour Tech in 1902. The main characteristic for which we were noted during our Freshman year was slumber, for it was impossible for even the most active members to stir us into anything which had even the semblance of activity, and we lay inert in our chrysalis waiting for the time when we should come to realize that college life involves something more than mere attendance at lectures and recitations. The summer vacation after the Freshman year came quickly to a close and most of us found ourselves back at the Institute. But, although some of our members had left, the class of ’02 was stronger than before in unity and activity. After the greetings and handshakes were over, we had a class- meeting, and at this meeting signs of life were manifested. Activ- ity became the watch-word—the Sophomores were in everything. It became their duty to publish the Fulcrum, and they choose an efficient staff' and, through the management of Field and Larkin, the Fulcrum was a financial and a literary success. Athletics were taken up and the Sophomore Track Team held the championship of the College. The 02 burgee was flaunted in the face of every class and was never taken nor allowed to trail in the dust. Class spirit and college spirit were fostered and nurtured in every way possible, and it is of this feature of our Sophomore year that we are especially proud. We gave a “Smoker” at “The America,” thus inaugurating a pleasant custom of the Sophomore year, and as to the good time there enjoyed, only the members of the class and the little cob pipes with their purple ribbons can tell. A banquet 5' was also given at “The Union,” where a happy crowd dined be- neath the purple lights which added solemnity to a most joyous occasion. On account of our activity in trying to promote class spirit and college loyalty, President Gunsaulus tendered us a break- fast at Kinsley's. We will all remember the happenings of the night preceding that breakfast; long after our hairs are gray. How Calculus was justly tried, condemned, electrocuted and his corpse burned, just as the rays of the morning sun commenced to illumi- nate the scene; how we then adjourned to breakfast where “ Prexy” had prepared the “fatted calf.” Then the yacht ride, and last of all the merry breaking up and we were “Sophs” no more. The bright morning of September 19, 1900, found us again assembled in the old familiar halls. Again greetings were exchanged, and again some of the familiar faces were gone, faces which had become dear to us through the two years of association, and it was with a sigh of regret that we bade farewell to Francis Field, Leroy Hunter, Walter Putnam and Ward Collins. The spirit of activity which was present with us as Sopho- mores was still present, and through our efforts a reception was tendered the Freshmen by the upper classmen. The event was a complete success in every way, and one which would tend to give an incoming student a good opinion of those among whom he had taken up his work. We also inaugurated the “Junior Promenade” with the most enjoyable affair of its kind ever given in the city. The publication of this book is a Junior undertaking; and as to its success you judge for yourself. Here our history must stop till time has proceeded farther; but, in conclusion, we wish to say that we are proud of our class, and whatever the history of our Senior year may be, we have already collected many pleasant memories, which will furnish grounds for pleasant retrospection, when we are separated and have gone out into the world.

'03 Cfoee 'jfywtovp If you should meet old Father Time, slap him on the back and say, “What do you know old man?” he would probably reply after a moment’s thought: “Let me tell you of a wonderful coincidence that took place not long ago. In the Fall of ’99 there happened to come together in the halls of Armour Tech the greater part of the talented and brainy young men contained within the borders of this fair land of ours. Distant climes, as though influenced by an unseen hand, added their youths of learning to this assemblage. I do not know what brought about this chance meeting. Kind fate, perhaps. When we, the heroes of this tale, entered the Tech we became known as “Ye Freshmen.” For over a year ours was a life of most wonderful development, and nowin 1901, as a mark of our in- creased wisdom, we have left the pranks of infancy to children, who, after much preparation, are following in our footsteps as “Freshies” while we have reached the distinctive rank of “Sophomores.” The present Freshmen have, at our hands, been made to view with re- spect each upper classman. One dark night last November some of our brave classmates climbed to the rickety flag-pole and flung to the breeze the stream- ing banner of ’03. It being one of our rules of conduct to always obey the faculty, when they suggested that our flag was causing the Freshmen to pine away in humiliation, we sympathetically removed the cause of the “Freshies”’ tears as soon as it had waved over the Institute the requisite number of days. Heretofore in the history of the college, the students, in the words of “Wakely, the Prex,” “needed no rules by which to be governed,” but when the present large and unruly “Freshman” class entered the “l ech” it was plainly seen that a code was needed, still keeping in mind our silent obedience to the faculty, we enacted certain suitable statutes which we posted in certain conspicuous 57 places about the campus. That these rules are obeyed is plainly seen by the conduct in the halls. Those poor little Freshmen hands and timid hearts have ever been-as nothing against our brawn and tact. Not alone in class spirit have we excelled but have set and maintained a high standard in technical work.

Perhaps, though, we cannot he entirely cred- ited with this—may be it is merely the twentieth century J J manifesting itself. Glorious thought! The greatest class in A. I. T. and the greatest century in the history of the world, starting in together and making a blaze of glory that makes Samuelson’s clothes look as dull as a chemistry lec- ture by comparison. For we are the twentieth centurv class without a doubt. 'The Seniors and Juniors are mere left-over remnants of a bygone age, and it is certain that no self-respecting century would queer itself at the start by be- ginning with a crowd like the present Sophomores, so the honor is safely ours. In the classic language of Billy Shakespeare, “We’ve got it cinched.” Just cast your eye down our ranks and note the many distinguished people among our number. There is Lundren, the six-foot quint- essence of knowledge, the instructor of Profs., who knows it all and knows he knows; there is O’Neill who converted the features of the prettiest Sophomore in the bunch into a blackish red mass where you couldn’t tell the bicuspids from the maxillary muscles; Zuckerman, the sleeping beauty, the dispenser of bottled hospitality; Judson, the animated ha ha, the leader of orchestras; and Sampson, who gets jeal- ous when anyone makes love to his descriptive plates. See 63 also, among our lesser lights, Wndsome Allan, alias Beaute- ous Benedict, the breaker of chocolate-colored hearts; Hutch- inson, who can and will act any roll from “Zaza” to “Hind Legs of Elephant, act iv.;” and all the others who make up our class, and then can you, dare- you wonder why we have already secured the respectful admiration of all beholders. There is hut one disappointing feature in all the history of our class, and that is the surprising lack of responsiveness shown by ’03. They have been a horrible failure. It is true that they hoisted their cheese-cloth colors on the school J Hag-pole, and then laughed at our manlv it unavailing ef- forts to get them down, but this piece of humor flattened out considerably when they received the hill for having a new halyard put in—$ 1 5—no more, no less. They also issued some yellow proclamations once upon a time and then waited to see if the Freshmen would he considerate enough to obey them. The Freshmen treated them with proper scorn, and the fact was brought to light that the “procs” were not the only thing connected with ’03 that had a streak of yellow. We challenged them to a foot ball game—and they got cold feet. Our athletic prowess and our ability to manage gor- geously brilliant social functions are too well known to re- quire further comment here; so here we beg permission to close. Our description of' the class of ’04 has been rather a bird’s eye view if it were possible to get to a position higher than that occupied by our class) than a detailed drawing; but who shall pretend to describe exactly the power of the whirlwind or the brilliancy of the diamond; for our part we shall he quite satisfied if we have given you but a glimpse of that class which is: First in rough house, First in classes First in the twentieth century. 64 Qjtfumnt “ Up in the temple of fame they dwell T hese students of other days, Each in a niche he himself has won By easy or arduous ways.

The entrance of this class was dissimilar from that of others in only one respect—it carries with it a profound significance, namely, that this class would be to the In- stitute what Schlitz beer has been to Milwaukee. From the very first day the presence of the class was felt—especially at the bureau of information. But the summer which intervened between the spring of the first year and the opening of the second wrought a wonderful change upon the members of the class of 1901. An in- quisitive, strange set had been transformed into an energetic class which immediately organized into what has become the strongest and most loyal class which Armour Academy can count as her own. The constitution which united this class into an organization is a masterpiece of parliamentary manipulation and has been used as a model by every succeeding class. I n its second year the class played an important part in the athletics of the school, winning and retain- ing the Institute base ball championship and losing the basket ball supremacy of the Academy by the small margin of one point. But physical superiority did not cause mental brilliancy to be neglec- ed, for in that memorable year there were delivered at the meetings of class Phillipics whose excellence has caused them to go down into history as standards of intellect and oratory. But the close of the second year did not mean a completion of the class’ splendor for the third year was another stepping stone hv which the class ascended to success. Space does not permit an enumeration of the many triumphs propagated by 1901, but one act above all others deserves mention. It was the inception of school spirit in Armour Academv and loyaltv to Alma Mater. At all 75 events, field, gridiron, diamond, cinder path or assembly hall the cheers of 1901 were loudest when a step was taken in advancement, and its hisses were strongest in downing any movement which car- ried with it injury to the Institute’s welfare. But 1901’s realms of victory extended beyond the walls of school and reached out into brilliancy in the execution of social functions. This was demon- strated when the class tendered to the Academy Seniors a dance, whose equal had not been reached and whose superior is still to be ound. This was the last step in causing even the haughty Seniors toacknow edge their inferiority. 1901 was declared by ail superior to all. With such a past the class entered upon its last year. None disputed the claims of the Seniors but a few Juniors and they were one night silenced and sent into oblivion. Kverv manager and captain of an Academy team could boast that he was a member of this noble class, while sororities and fraternities consisted almost en- tirely of Seniors. A repetition of the last year dance, crowned with additional splendor, was one of the class’ last memorable acts. The Academy had adopted the colors of this class as her own and, in fact, to use the words of an observer, “The Academv was the class and the class the Academy.” On the day when the school must sadlv and unwillingly depart with the presence of the class, there will be left behind, as a tribute to the school, a memorial which will in the future be spoken of as the souvenir of the most notable and praiseworthy class—the class of 1901 Academy. 76 ocktiee Bift of octeltee Phi Kappa Sigma Delta Tau Delta Photographical Technical Chemical Foreigners’ Club Y.

Ales hire (pljofograpptcaf octefy The Photographical Society of the Armour Institute of Technology is an organization of students of both the Col- lege and the Academy for the promotion of the photographic art among its members. The home of the Society is at 3348 Armour Avenue, where may he found an equipment for study in special lines which has no superior in the city. Some of the features of this equipment are: A commodious dark room, an electric negative drier, a large locker room, a full outfit for the study of Flash Photography, a large copying camera, and also large assembly rooms where dem- onstrations are made, and talks are given from time to time by practical photographers on practical photographic work. 'The society holds an annual exhibit of the work of its J members in the halls of the Institute and has been very successful both from the artistic and technical standpoints. The Society has the hearty support of the Faculty to whom it is indebted for many favors. There is no reason why the Photographical Society, with even verv ordinary support from the student body, should not be the strongest social and instructive organization at the Institute.

The work is so designed as to furnish a somewhat complete outline of descriptive chemistry, and at the same time furnish a foundation for a further study of the subject. Engineering students take a course in qualitative and qualita- tive analysis, and then apply analytical methods to the valuation of fuels, oils, alloys, and gases, and to such problems as combustion and boiler teed water. The course in Chemical Engineering offers in analytical chem- istry—blow-piping and assaying, mineral analysis and the chemistry of iron and steel; as a training for manufacturing chemistry—in- organic and organic preparations; a two years’ study of the applica- tion of chemistry to industrial processes; water analysis and the treatment and disposal of sewage; the most important metallurgical processes, and the chemical generation and utilization of electrical currents. To conclude, it may be well to say that, in consideration of the interesting and complicated problems to be considered, many ot which are beyond the scope of the ordinary curriculum, the Chemi- cal Society has lately been formed. Prof. W. T. McClement. Assist-Prof. R. W. P. Nobi.e. 93 (Kabtcaf £fu6 A prominent feature of every large college in the country is its social, class organizations. While our school connot he classed among the largest in the country, still there is no reason why we should not have our own class societies and good times. Having this idea in mind, a group of thirteen Freshmen organized the Radical Club, having for its object the entertainment of its members in every way. It is the intention of the founders to perpetuate the club by taking in thirteen members from each incoming class. Meetings are held at least twice a month. They have as their motto: “Eat, drink and he merry, for to- morrow ye study.” The members are: Davis, McArthur, Byrne, Craw- ford, Frary, Hoops, Benedict, Wilson, Hiller, Indermille, Zuckerman, A. Lewis and Jens. 94 This Association, although organized only a year ago, has demonstrated by its growth and helpfulness that it is to be a permanent organization. The Armour Association is closely allied to the Central Y M. C. A. of Chicago, and members of the College Association. Religious meetings are held weekly and have more than doubled in interest and attendance since the beginning. There is also offered to the students an excellent course in bible study which has been found exceedingly helpful. Kverv student interested in Christian work should avail himself of the advantages of the Association and the fel- lowship of its members. A Reception Committee will meet students at the opening of each term to aid new students in selecting rooms and boarding houses. Students will also be furnished with the annual Y. M. C. A. Hand Book of useful infor- mation about the Association College and city. Direct inquiries to the President. Officers to March, 1901 J. S. Strickler, President E. Edgecomb, Sec’v Treas.

These are the ideas brought to our men just at the time of life when they are most receptive; when science, logic and metaphysics have perhaps shaken their faith in the dogmas of childhood. Such work is eminently worth doing.” William McClement, Prof, of Chem. A. 1. T. 97 The Drum Corps Fife R. G. Reiniger Drums R. B. Harris R. M. Albright M. F.

The whole blooming works turned out to march for old High Tariff Mack, and it was a hot gang- First came our huge President with a yellow ham, large enough to feed the crowd. Then came the band wagon with our poor, hungrv-looking Seniors, who were too near starved to death to stand the strain of walking round the block. Then came the Drum Corps, who kept good time as a rule, but occasionally forgot to pound, when a good specimen of Chicago beauty was in sight. Then came the gang. Such a pandemonium of noise as was continually “ wafted upon the bowling Autumn breeze,” from this crowd, has not been heard since Mark Anthony was bitten on the nose by Cleopatra’s pet parrot. Well, we marched a few thousand miles and there turned into a bean-house for a Chop Suey sandwich. This was the end of the great parade. We are sure that the sight of our red hats and broad smiles and our dusty shoes served to convince many a hard-hearted “ Demmy ” of the evil of his ways. Well, anyway Mack was elected, and we all turned out to hear about it on election night. And we certainly owned the town, and we didn’t get “pinched” either.

It was given and not repeated. ioo Comment is rather out of place, for to those who did not see the plav all accounts must be inadequate, and to those who did, superfluous. Suffice it to say that anyone who has seen with his own eyes the plotting of Swift and Reiniger, the beauty of Brown, the coquetries of Lindberg, and the cold dis- dain of Rochlitz’s manner; who has heard Robinson, the sweet singer of the Wabash, deliver his touching ballads, and Albright propose to every girl in sight in his most winning impassioned style, surely life holds no more for him. For the production itself, the stage settings were perfect; the campus scene was particularly effective in spite of the fact that, owing to laziness on the part of the curtain, the moon was obliged to set very suddenly and by jerks before it cou d be seen by the audience. The orchestra was under the direction of one Benedict, whose reputation is world-wide—we understand. At all events the organization was a credit to him, and augmented the pleasure of the event many times. The make- up was as follows: Allan B. Benedict, Leader Sidney James, First Violin R. L. Slimmer, Cornet Vincent Norton, First Violin Charles W. Fierce, Flute I. I). Miller, Second Violin 1C J. Mulloy, Trombone J. F. Bi rney, Second Violin Louis J. Byrne, Fiano Edwin J. Hiller, Cello Manley F. Baird, Drums Of this brilliant aggregation of musicians, many of whom are stars them- selves, one, the most prominent was “Edwin,” our talented celloist. His sympathetic playing easily won for him and his associates the cheers and ap- plause of the enthusiastic audience. But in speaking of one accomplished member we must not forget to put in a word for Louis Byrne and Sidney James, a combination which has at various times shown itself to be worthy of much commendation. As we have not time to mention each one individually, let it suffice to say that ow- ing to the earnest efforts of all concerned, the orchestra did its part very creditably, and the managers desire to extend their thanks to those gentle- men not in the school who so generously gave up their time to assist in this production. We refer to Mr. Vincent Norton and Mr. K. M. Mulloy. We also extend our thanks to Mrs. James, who so kindly extended the courtesies of her home to us for practice hours.

Dances and smokers and an occasional rough- house are reviewed with pleasure hut soon dismissed. Soon, however, the reminder of happy days spent with clubs come before us, and we then point with pride to our peerless musical organization. Without a doubt this is the most powerful organization in the whole Institute. Its popular- ity is shown by the attendance of the whole student body and their families twice yearly to enjoy a musical concert of merit rendered by a body of students. The clubs have undoubtedly made an enviable record for themselves in Chicago’s social circles. Appearing before several social clubs the boys have responded time and again to repeated encores. Prominent among these successes stands Ham- mond, the soloist, who, in singing, “The Change Will do you Good,” forgot and swore in the wrong place much to the discomfort of Robinson. The present management strayed somewhat from the usual program of events in that a comedy sketch was given in the place of the annual fall concert. To say that it was a complete success is put- ting it mildly for never before in the school history has such a large and select audience gathered to see and hear the boys. Much credit is due the leaders of the clubs, Messrs, Scheidlerand Taussig, who have worked hard and faithfully. Wehope the next year’s club will continue in the good work; not forgetting that there is always room for improvement. The make-up of the Glee Club is this: Fred G. Lar- kin, Manager; W. S. Taussig, Leader; G. B. Robinson, R. G. Reiniger, R. M. Albright, R. M. Harris, J. H. Stick- ler, J. D. Brooke, R. W. Hammond, M. F. Baird, W. I. Lewis, W. R. Ruegnitz, L. R. Levings, K. M.

Sherman 13 - (Report of t$e C atrman of f$e jubente' Qi3oart In order to provide funds for the support of the teams that were represented in the College and Academy Boards of Control, a movement was started by Prof. McClement and T. $. Ellett to find a means to get the student body, the faculty and the former students of Armour Institute of Technology to contribute a fund sufficient to meet the needs of the teams represented in the hoards of control. It was desired that the fund be collected in such a manner as to do away with the old method of collecting money from the students in the halls and especially to prevent the sending of dunning letters to our friends on the outside. Acting along these lines, Prof. McClement addressed letters to the managers of athletics at the leading universities. In response letters were received giving an outline of the policies at Yale, Columbia, Michigan, etc. The reply from Yale seemed to best meet our needs. The information secured, it was decided to place the matter before the students in a general mass meeting, and permission was secured from the dean to hold a meeting in Science Hall where Prof. Alderson called the meeting to order and a motion to elect T. S. Ellett chairman, was car- ried. Those students that were most interested in the movement were called upon to address the meeting, includ- ing the captains and managers of the athletic teams. It was moved to adopt the following resolution; 35 Resolved, That the chairman appoint a committee of three, of which he shall he a member, to submit to the students at an- other meeting recommendations as to (1) The amount of fees to be collected. (2) Manner of collecting the fee. (3) Formation of an advisory board and a constitution to gov- ern the action of such a board. The committee was advised to secure through the aid of a member of the hoard of trustees and a member of the faculty, the co-operation of the trustees and faculty. The meeting adjourned to he called later to act upon the report of the committee to he appointed by the chair- man. Action of the Committee The committee appointed was as follows: T. S. E i. lett, Chairman F. H. Bernhard, A. I. T. Leo Wormser, A. S. A. Mr. F. U. Smith, being consulted, strongly favored the measures taken to place athletics upon a hrm basis and promised the committee his active support. Prof. McClement forwarded the movement in every possible manner. The captains and managers of the athletic teams met at the Institute, and from the reports and outlines submitted, it was estimated that a fee of one dollar, paid each registra- tion day, would meet the most pressing needs of the teams. The committee, having received this information and encouragement, a second mass meeting was called by the chairman to report upon the progress of the committee. The following report was read by Mr. Leo Wormser: Recommended that a fee of one dollar be paid at the beginning of each regular term by those members of the •36 Faculty, Alumni and Student body who wish to become members of the Athletic Association. Said fee to be paid to the Registrar at the Registrar’s office. It was further recommended that as those members who had paid their fee should decide upon the disposition of the same; that the Constitution should be submitted at a meeting to be called after the registration for the spring term had closed, and further, that only those members who had on or before April ioth paid their fees should vote to accept the report of the committee or to amend the same to meet the approval of the Athletic Association. The report was accepted. Meeting adjourned. An explanatory card was mailed to the Alumni and distributed to the students by Prof. Alderson and Prof. Ray- mond; in addition it was placed upon the table in the hall; 228 members deposited their fees at the Registrar’s office. T. S. Ellett 37 Qtett? QlSoarb The students forming the new athletic association assembled in Science Hall and elected the following as the officers of the advisory board: C. Dallas F. U. Smith W. T. McClement H. M. Raymond A. M. Jens L. J. Byrne C. H. Hermann The old board of control in the Academy and College in its old form was too large to transact the affairs promptly and con- tained members not as active as they should have been, but it is to be regretted that they ceased to exist upon the advent of the new board. They should continue to encourage and promote athletics under the guidance of the Advisory Board. The selection of the board is a happy one, Mr. F. U. Smith and Prof. McClement being the foremost in forwarding the interests of the movement. Prof. Raymond has the complete confidence of the Academy. The student members of the board have been intimately con- nected with athletics without exception. 138 Tttofer (pofo Ceam T. S. Ellett, right forward L. Byrne, right back H. Goetz, rush F.

Water Polo Team. The men with few exceptions were green at the game, and Mr. Rowland pronounced them the poorest material to start with that he had ever coached. The team, by winning every game played except the game against his own team the C. A. A. has shown what an efficient coach can do with the right material. The season opened this vear with Kllett, Week, Byrne and Kampfer of last year’s college team, and Lowenthal, and Dallas of the Academy. Indermille, Jens, A. Goetz, Hugo Goetz and Beers proved to be the best of the new ma- terial. Jens’ strained knee placed him on the side lines. 1 le will develop into a star back or goal.

Of last year’s regular team, Miller alone remained, the rest of the team having to be trained up out of new, raw material. But at the head of the team was a born organizer, who besides playing a star forward himself all year, finally developed a center, and a pair of guards whose equal it would now be hard to find. The team was victorious at the Coliseum, and the ban- ners won there hang now in the halls. The outlook for next year is bright, though it will be impossible to find a man who can till the gap now left at right forward. It is not alone in basket ball that Miller will be missed, for he has been more prominent and intimately connected with athletics than any man who ever went to Armour. Reck- oned by all to be the greatest basket ball player in the United States, his ability as a captain and his power to in- fuse life into a team, make his loss irremediable. He was the strongest foot ball player and one of the best base ball players in the history of the school; was connected with every other branch of athletics more or less continually; was a member of the board of control for four years, and held the strength record of the school, which was also fourth in the country. 43 ($cat emp QlSagfief QjSaff £eam C.

Loewenthal The Academy team has been doing excellent work, although it lost its first two games, owing to lack of practice and coaching. The first game with Elgin High School was lost on their grounds, when Elgin paid off its defeat of the previous year, with the score of 40 to 1 2, by piling up 26 points to our 1 2 ; but we have since wiped out our defeat by a clear-cut victory of 23 to 7. Our next game was with Hyde Park High School, which defeated us bv two points. They promised to give us a return game at the Coliseum ; but when both teams were all ready to begin the game, Hyde Park backed out on the plea that there was no banner to play for. We next met Englewood High School and easily defeated them, the downfall of North and West Division High Schools following in quick succession. We then played the team of Ravenswood Y. M. C. A. (who defeated the team of Yale Uni- versity by a score of 26 to 12), and met defeat at their hands by a score of 27 to 1 1 'Phis in itself speaks for the team, and we have the strongest hopes of beating any- thing in our class, in consequence of which, we have challenged any preparatory school in our State, and with present good condition, we have excellent prospects of winning the State championship.

Johnstone. Cennts The Tennis Tournament of last Fall, which was held at the courts of the Kenwood County Club, was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The entry was larger than any previous year, and the standard of play high. Many new players are at school this year, and they are most of them men of considerable skill and experience. Among them may be mentioned Hammond, Watkins and two Samuelsons. As the hook goes to press, our team in the Inter-col- legiate, consisting of Messrs. Noble and Hammond, will try conclusions with the representatives of all Western colleges. Mr. Hammond is the new tennis captain, and will select a new representation for next year; this should not he a difficult matter, with all the material in sight. Last year in Mr. Hayden’s departure, the school lost a man who was prominently identified with Armour tennis for four years, and this year when Mr. Noble, who has been school champion since ’98, leaves, the old guard will he gone, and a new one must be found. 148 acuffpj emor Q aee QjSaff On May 24th the fiercest contest of the season took place between the members of the Faculty and those of the Senior class. The final score was 15 to 14 in favor of the Seniors, hut that was a mere detail. Brewster was in the box for the Faculty and pitched a fine game, being ably supported by his catcher, Lee. Alexander’s game at first was unexcelled, and McClement at third repeatedly drew roars of applause from the thronging multitude. Raymond and Thomas did a few acrobatic stunts in the line of sum- mersaults and hand-springs, and the fielders took good care not to interfere with anything. For the Seniors, Miller pitched well, holding his hard hitting opponents down to five safe drives. The heavy end of the hatting order was right there; Fierce, the Texas whirlwind, having his eye on the ball in beautiful style, Noble getting to base every time after the first, when he foolishly supposed that four balls was not three strikes, and Miller who brought in many of the runs. The umpiring was more than remark- able; it was sublime; and it was nothing if not firm. Mr. Smith is of course incorruptible, and Mr. Little is so used to disallowing his tenants’ kicks there in the fiats, that pro- tests fell on deaf ears. The game finally ended in the Senior’s favor, after Brewster was made to realize that he could not bat every other time.

Accordingly a meeting of the Academy was called and the Academy Athletic Association organ- ized. The Board of Control had innumerable difficulties to over- come, but it kept bravely at its task and finally came out on top. The Academy joined the Inter-Academic League, and it is now on the high road to victory, and hopes to be able to cope successfully with anything in its class, as it has done heretofore.

In spite of innumerable difficulties, the chief of which was the lack of money, a team was organized and equipped with suits and materials by the manager. 'The team, how- ever, was not strong in the pitching department, and as there was no coach available it was compelled to play out the season with a team much weakened by lack of practice and confidence. The infield, save for a few lucid intervals when Mil- ler covered short was remarkable for its porousness, and the batting was uniformly feeble. The team was not wholly to blame for it was absolutely unsupported by the School, and the result w'as exactly what might be expected. . Not only did the school fail in support, but what is a hundred times worse, the team was censured to a man; and their efforts only spoken of with ridicule. Thus while a few were striving to redeem the base ball fame of Armour the majority (of which some were members of the team itself) only made the task the harder by piling obstacles in the path, and the season came to an inglorious conclusion The Schedule April 13th, Oak Park H.

The career of the Academy base ball team, while not an unbroken line of overwhelming victories, is still sufficiently glorious to deserve mention. A long and glowing account doubtless re- poses somewhere in the editorial archives but it is not visible to the naked eye. In consequence of this fact, and some others, namely, that the subject is apropos of athletics in general, that Crawford, the manager, is a member of the illustrious gallery of immortals, and lastly that the printer man has it already set into type,—we append here the Class of 1902 Academy.

Some time last fall, a Bowling Associa- tion was organized, an alley was procured near the school and the sport sprang at once into popular favor. Many times in the Winter and Spring a choice col- lection of howlers might have been seen parading over toward the long, smooth plank-walk. A great many of the students attained considerable proficiency in the art of hurling the large, smooth, round—with a thumb-hole, anp some good records were made. The bowlers are, however, very reticent as to their pursuit and no photo- graphs of the men in action are obtainable. While still the newest sport at Armour, bowling has the element of interest and suspense, and seems to be making a strong bid for notice and popularity. 1 54 Qlrmour ctenftftc Qtcabemp $oot QBaff £eam 'Though beginning the season with anything but good prospects the Academy Foot Hall.Team developed an ex- ceedingly strong aggregation and one which made an ex- cellent showing. At the beginning of the season only one or two of the last year’s team had returned to the school and things looked dull, but new material, catching, the gen- uine Armour spirit, recruited, and the team, under the able management of Mr. C. S. Dexter, 1901, considering the meagre coaching, progressed rapidly and finished the season well enough to tie the Lewis Institute team numerically and defeat it really. Mr. Harold Whitney, 1901, was elected captain, but owing to disablement, was replaced by Mr. Anthony Seyl, 1901. The team consisted mainly of men playing for the first season with the exception of Parker, formerly of Hyde Park; Seyl of English High; Fitzpatrick of Michigan Mil- itary Academy, and Freedman of Northwestern Academy.

Wormser, Manager The Academy Track Team of 1900 was the first to or- ganize strictly independent of the college, and was, therefore, admitted to the Inter-Academic League. In the annual out- door meet, Armour finished in third place, which, in con- sideration of existing conditions, was fairly good. This year the trials for the team were held at the Uni- versity of Chicago Gymnasium, and encouraging results were obtained. Meets were arranged, and the honor of the school has been maintained by such men at Beers, Mc- Donald, Maher, Levings, Hermann, Ferguson and Fisher. In the recent meet with English High, the team was overwhelmingly victorious, by a score of 61 to 24. This work was remarkable, as it was the first meet this year for Armour, and the records are good in spite of the margin of competition. The East Aurora meet was also won by the Academy at the score of 68 to 63. l59 Drawn by Elizabeth Salisbury I 900 May 11. Alumni dinner, Laperouse, Paris. June 15. Senior Hop, Drafting room. June 8.

An innovation was inaugurated in the social life of Armour Institute by the brilliant function given by the Junior class at the Chicago Beach Hotel April 12, 1901. For social elegance this event is unsurpassed in the annals of the college, and it is doubtful if an other college in the country can boast of ever having obtained any greater success socially. One hundred and twenty-five pretty girls, clad in all the splendor of beautiful gowns, and as many stately forms in full dress, the sweet strains of a dozen musicians, all resplendent in the dazzling glare of a myriad of incadescent lamps, combined to make this fairy-like scene. Up to 9:30 o’clock there was an incessant stream of car- riages, each in turn depositing some youth and his fair charmer on the steps of the hotel. Promptly at 9:30 the orchestra struck up for the opening waltz, and the multitude of dancers was put in motion. Presently the large spacious hall was filled with the merry hum of voices, and all earthly thoughts were forgotten. The spaci- ous and elegantly furnished parlors afforded comfortable retreats for rest between dances, or for those who choose to enjoy a quiet tctc-a-tctc instead of dancing. Frappe was served, and in quantities sufficient to satisfy the desires of all. Much credit is due the Social Committee for its untiring efforts in bringing the Prom to such a successful consumation. Every detail was arranged with such a degree of exactness as to please the most fastidious, and the long list of patronesses is suffi- cient guarantee of the high quality of everything connected with it. Each successive dance seemed to augment the merriment of the assemblage, and only when the strains of “ Home, Sweet Home ” were heard, did the dancers realize that another day was already well along on its course. The committee and patronesses were as follows: Committee R. M. Henderson, Chairman E. W. Lilicnfcld C. M. Moss Patronesses Mrs. Bell O. Armour Philip D. Armour, Jr. Henry Martyn Bacon Julia Beveridge Irwin J. Macombcr Frank W. Gunsaulus Alfred E. Phillips David J. Simpson Frederick U. Smith L. A. Coonlcy Ward Thomas F. Withrow Mrs. J.

Wells 164 Concert From the time the audience entered the hall until the Mission Keeper saw fit to excuse the straggling members of a jolly crowd, there was festivity and glee among the Armourites. The occasion was the Annual Integral Benefit Concert, and it occurred on December the 7th. The Concert differed in many respects from those previously held, but the most striking characteristic, which gave a pronounced individuality to the affair, was the extraordinarily large representation of the various classes and organizations. Each society occupied a section of the hall especially set apart for it, which was decorated with the society’s colors. The Freshmen were conspicuous in numbers, to say nothing of those “young ones” whose names appeared prominently on the program. Their red and white class colors added greatly to the beauty of the assemblage, though those of the fairer sex whom the Freshmen count as friends had been left at home. Close by sat the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores—fewer in number than their worthy “under grads,” but equally vigorous in their applause and other signs of appreciation. Most of the Juniors were invisible to the audience, for they had taken their stands in the background, where they were directing the action and manipulation of the “juice” which was to flow through a very cleverly-constructed electric sign —spelling the word “ Integral.” Each class was recognized bv one letter of the word, which was decorated in the colors of that particular class. When the letters were illuminated and this work of art, which the Juniors had executed, was displayed the classes responded in turn, by giving their respective class yells. As a climax to this electrical display, the Class of 1901 Academy had a sign of its own placed directly in the center of the balcony, which section was well filled by members of this class. Although the demonstrations which have been mentioned, readily testify and do tribute to the excellence of the programe, still mention of the cause of this merriment must not be omitted. From the time the Gree and Mandolin Clubs opened with the “ Armour Greeting” until the last strains of “Just a Song at Twilight ” died away, was a continual display of excellent talent. The songs of the Glee Club and the selections of the famous Mandolin aggregation were interspersed by solos of such stars as our old friend (for banjo stunts) Dyer and of the talented Master Sydney V. James, while the trio which rendered the “ Poet and Peasant ” added greatly to the evening’s success. In short the programe was splendid, the audience appreciative, the spirit truly loyal, and the entire affair all that could be desired in every respect. Juef Qjtnnuaf jjfree man |E)ani 6(5aRe The first annual Freshman Handshake was in the form of a smoker held on October 5, 1900, at America Hall, and was at- tended by every man in the College and a lot of jolly good fellows whom the year book labels as Profs’ When the room had been properly filled with smoke, Dean Alderson welcomed the new Fresh- man class to Armour Institute in a short address. A piano solo by Bogie followed, and Wilson responded to Prof. Alderson’s speech in behalf of the Freshmen. The next speaker was “High Pressure” Miller, who arose amid the cheers of the unsuspecting Freshmen. In a lot of well chosen words he gave the new class much good advice, telling them what warm members the Juniors had been when they were Sophomores, and promised his personal protection to ’04 if the present Sophs should ever molest them. More speeches were made and some first rate stories were told by the various members of the faculty; Taussig rendered a violin solo, accompanied by McArthur on the music rack; Reiniger and Henderson played a reminiscence-laden oriental air on the guitar and mandolin before supper was announced. I he banquet room was too small for the entire crowd so a portion picknicked in an adjoining room. I he next features were a series of three-round “goes” between Byrne and Fairweather, Sherman and Rue, and Brown and Larkin. I he first two battles were certainly fought with tremendous vigor and science, but they were as nothing compared to the third. I he combatants were truly athirst for each other’s gore and could not seem to get close enough to each other. 'Phis “heavyweight” spar- ring match was more like a wrestling bout than anything else. These matches concluded the evening fun, and the fellows went peaceably home, merely making a friendly call or two on the way. Doctor Gunsaulus was visited and then a few arguments made against “midnight closing.” This was all that happened— newspapers to the contrary notwithstanding. 'The smoker had been a great success, and everybody had enjoyed themselves. From the enthusiasm displayed by the Freshmen we may be sure that the I landshake will be continued from year to year, and that the title “Annual” has not been bestowed in vain. 166 JVee$man moRcr Having seen duly into the advantages of smokers as promo- tors ot good fellowship, the Freshmen were of the opinion that an all-Freshman Smoker would be a desirable thing, where they could be relieved from the tortures of Math, and Descrip, for a few hours. Consequently the Social Committee bestirred themselves, and the result of their labors was plainly visible when “ Chimmy ” Craw- ford, as chairman, opened the cermonies at Douglas Hall February 16th. The guests of honor were Prof. Shattuck and the Keg. When the meeting adjourned, the Professor and the Keg were the only ones who did not contain an adult’s allowance of malt extract. The “ makin’s ” were there in plenty and later on coffee and sand- wiches made their appearance. A very serious question had to be disposed ot. A certain mem- ber of the class had been accused of conduct unbecoming a Fresh- man, and was apprehended and tried for the unheard of and atroci- ous crime of “ Knowing too d-------much. The prosecution established the fact that the prisoner was notoriously and conspicu- ously wise and that he knew more than enough to be a Sophomore. The jury adjourned to the keg and, after everybody had drunk a little from its hallowed precincts, a verdict of guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to death by “ Klectrolysis.” The final words were spoken and the fatal lever pressed. Then arose a shriek in which anger and surprise were curiously blended, for by some strange fatality a soda-siphon was cut into circuit and the luck- less prisoner received the contents behind the ear. Phis act of justice was followed by a couple of international sparring bouts be- tween Marchese and Marr, also Lundgren and Zuckerman. In the first, victory was awarded to Italy, and in the second, to Sweden. Then all gathered round the place where Benny pounded the keys of a decrepit piano and the musical stars of ’04 re-established their claims to distinction, while several new virtuosi—notably Frary and Marchese—made their debut. At twelve o’clock the assembly ad- journed to another social function in a hall on the floor directly below—but that is a different story. 167 %c q{ gear's Sophomore |?moRer 'The Sophomores, with their proverbial fondness for jollity and good fellowship, tendered a smoker to some fifty college men and their personal friends. There was no formal program but all present contributed to make the affair an enjoyable one. “Horse Power” Miller made the opening address, which was heartily applauded. Several sparing exhibitions were given in which “George Dixon” Wallace distinguished himself in a bloody encounter with “Hot Scotch Fairy.” An endeavor was made to bring “Shorty” Harris and “Unser Fritz” together in a light weight contest, but the gentlemen in question would not submit. A special feature of the evening was a bit of sen- sational dramatic art by “Loony.” A villain, hero, hero- ine, and railroad track constituted the chief characters. “Loony” impersonated them all very vividly; he was es- pecially fine as the railroad track. Mr. Smith then became reminiscent and recounted several strange incidents in which he had particitated pre- vious to his coming to Armour Institute. He was listened to with profound interest and loudly applauded. This was followed by confessions on the part of various others. “Father Adam” a mandolin solo, and was followed by the A. 1. T. quartette. “Polo Mel” and “Change” scored a great hit in their comic songs; “Change” respond- ing to an encore with a brief dramatic spasm. Finally when all the good cigars were smoked and the bad ones put away in our pockets for the benefit of our friends and the “cobs” duly scorched for, we adjourned to the dining room where a lunch was served. Shortly after- ward the janitor appeared on thescene andour pipes went out. 168 '01 Qfcabemp d3u?ee a 3nforma ou In response to invitations for “a little informal blow- out, twelve members of the class of ’02 Academy assembled at the American Hall on the eqe of November 17th, 1900. Well, it was a “blowout” as far as the lights were concerned, for everything was done with a feeling of mystery and awe. A well planned ordeal was gone through in which the ’02s suffered not a little with hands and feet hound. The guests were placed in a small ante-room where, like Cerces’ swine, they were left to await their fate. After all the victims had arrived they were dragged in one by one and tried for “having taken advantage of the Senior privileges” and for “being members of the class of 1902.” The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and the pen- altiei were then inflicted. A few heads were used as dishes on which a mixture of eggs, dough and glue were pre- pared, which was only removed, thanks to Armour’s float- ing soap. One of the prisoners was not allowed in the In- stitute on the followingMondoy, owing to the odor of Lim- burger, which clung to him inseparably. Many other and worse penalties were inflicted upoc the representatives of 1902, but what happened later was A spread was served for the men from both classes and expressions of good fellowship were voiced in numer- ous speeches. Both the guests and the hosts spent a pleas- ant evening. What had at first seemed hard feeling between the two classes, became good fellowship, and thus another step wbs taken in an interesting manner to develop class and school spirit. 1 69 (YlltBcePfaneoue Qfa t ance0 anb Jwprooemenf of t$z Jngfifule The changes about the Institute during the past year and those contemplated in the near future are many and important. They all indicate the development of the Institute along engineering lines with the necessary preparatory courses in the Academy. The dis- continuance of the Department of Domestic Arts and Sciences gives four new rooms for the use of the College work. Two of these will be used for recitation purposes. The large sewing room will be equipped for the use of the Civil Kngineering students. The room formerly used for cookery will be turned into an Kngineering Chem- istry laboratory. The equipment for the Civil Kngineering course has been largely increased. A new course in Chemical Kngineering has been adopted and has enrolled many new students who recognize the openings which now exist in industries for men who can combine a knowledge of chemistry with a general engineering education. The equipment for electrical engineering has been improved by the in- stallation of a new storage battery, the superior of which does not exist in any technical school in the country. The Mechanical Kn- gineering department has taken the lead in organizing a department of Commercial Tests which has brought the Institute into close re- tions with the engineering and business world. All of the courses have been revised and improved so that hereafter the senior year will be devoted to pure engineering work. This advance is most important and will enable our graduates to take more advanced en- gineering positions than ever before. The success of our men in securing and holding important positions is most gratifying. The calls made upon the Dean for men frequently have to be refused because all of our graduates are profitably employed. A new feature of the work during the past year has been the increased number of lectures by engineers of high professional standing. When the leading engineers of such large corporations as the Illinois Steel 172 Company, the Bethlehem Iron Works, and the Chicago Kdison Company are willing to address our students, it speaks volumes for our reputation. The most up-to-date view of a library is that it is, in a sense, a laboratory. The efforts of our new librarian have been directed toward enabling all students to learn how to make a profitable use of the vast amount of information stored in the library. The num- ber of books added has been very large, especially on engineering subjects. I he engineering alcove, for the sole use of the Senior class, has been a marked improvement. With the beginning of the school year of 1901-2 the work of the Academy will be put upon an elective basis. Two years of Kn- glish will be the only required work. The remainder of the course can be chosen by the student in such a manner as to best suit his needs. The addition of a million dollars to the endowment of the In- stitute by Mrs. 1 I). Armour, Senior, and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour will enable the increasing needs of the Institute to be metas fast as they arise. The steady increase in the number of students, the addition of new courses, and the consequent enlargement of the equipment, all point to the need of new buildings. These will be provided in the form of a building for the shops and one for the distinctive engineering work. Present developments show that the Institute has now an en- viable reputation not only among technical schools, but with the engineer.ng profession at large. The future of the institute is big with possibilities; the outlook never was brighter; the grandest part of her history is yet to come. 173 MUSIC. Prof. Pfefferkorn COOKING. Miss Bullard MILLINERY. Miss Kennedy DRESSMAKING. Miss Connor The departments of Cooking, Millinery and Dressmaking have been abolished to make room tor Chemical Engineering. •74 COOKING DEPARTMENT £oofim j Ever since the first classes in Domestic Science were organized there has been an air of mystery, and delightful, enticing mystery at that, about the fourth floor. The de- partments of cooking, sewing, millinery and dressmaking have from then out been a prominent feature in the life of the school. The reason for this popularity has been rashly given to the effect that when a young lady has mastered the subjects taught there she is a fit subject for matrimony. Far be it from us to deny this well-grounded tradition. Among the distinctions of this department, though strictly in line with the general theory of the Institute, is its cosmopolitan character, worthy the notice of the sociolo- gist. Is calls its devotees from all walks of life, from all walks of life, from all ages and generations, and lastly from all sexes. There is a rumor that three men once started to take the course in cooking—beyond which history does not state. Miss Isabelle I). Bullard has been the head of the cooking department since the inception thereof, and it is with the utmost regret that we hear of the almost certain departure of one who has been identified with the social, as well as culinary, life of the Institute. Mrs. Armour has provided for the establishment of the associated departments in some place not too far removed from our midst, the an- nouncement ofwhich will be made more definitely later on. 176 OFFICERS Andrew Nicolas, President Frank.

Sac k ett Vice-President of the Inter-Academic Debating League The growth and success of the Debating Society during the past year has been very satisfactory, and interest in the doings of the Society is greatly increasing. Aside from the many interesting papers and debates which have been delivered at the meetings, musical features and such novelties as mock trials have been intro- duced. Last June the Society entered the Inter-Academic Debating League, composed of Northwestern, South Side, Morgan Park and Armour Scientific Academies. In the trials held at the Institute, for the Academy team, Leo F. Wormser, Barton II. Sackett and Lester L. balk were victorious. On January 18, 1901, this team upheld the negative side of the following question: “ Resolved, That the Street Railways Should be Owned and Operated by the Municipal Government,” against South Side Academy, at Kent Hall of the University of Chicago. Our team was awarded the unanimous decision of the judges. On the same evening Morgan Park defeated North- western Academy. The two victorious teams then met and debated for the championship of the Academies of Cook County. This debate was held at the Art Institute on the evening of April 26, 1901. The subject discussed (in which Armour had the affirmative) was: “Resolved, That United States Senators Should be Fleeted by Popular Vote!” 179 Kjfreb t on jE)crm :mn It is not without a deep feeling of regret at our own meagre ability to judge cor- correctly and justly, and to so clothe our thoughts that they may convey to his count- less friends all we would sav of his frank, cheerful, genial manner, his sterling character, his personality, that we attempt, in our ajwn humble way, to put into words our esteem for Ferdinand von Hermann. For several years prior to his death, January 14, 1900, he was the leading spirit in the Scientific Academy of Armour Institute. He was among the leaders in athletics, and his popularity here was second only to that among the numerous social organizations of the College — notably the Mandolin Club. His was a mind to grasp opportunities in- stantly upon presenta- tion. He was calm and resolute amidst in- tense excitement. At the time of the revolu- tion of our College spirit,when mass meet- ings were being held hourly, when few classes were attended and the corridors full of groups of excited students and nervous members of the faculty, he was the one who did his part well by coun- seling the Acadcmiics to go slow, and not commit themselves to any conduct unbecoming a student of Armour Institute.

He admitted it Himself, not having the Heart to deny it, and besides it was Palpable when one gazed into his Thoughtful Eyes or caught the Coruscating Glimmer of his Golden Thatch. The Organ for which he wrote the Leaders and the heavy double-leaded Display Stunts was wont to appear once a year, un- less the Printer tied it up. 'Phis year there was great Difficulty in finding the Proper Man, the Boston Wonder having given over his Attempts to pronounce the lettah “ah,” but finally they Discov- ered this Bonanza.

There was also an Efficient Assistant, who was just as Good, but no Better. As the time for publication came Around, the B. M. (who had taken the job because everyone else had cold Feet) thought it would be Kind of nice to turn over a Bunch of copy to the Printer. The Editor toed the Scratch with a dedicatory address and a two-line Joke. Then he rested on his Laurels; his work was Done. Be- fore the year was Out he added a list of Social Functions, and his Assistant wrote a Funny Article, to provoke mirth. Idle B. M. made a brave fight, but the odds were Agin him. When he was through persevering, he let loose on the Editor his thoughts of a Light Blue Tint, with calcium accessories and a Bass Drum. The Editor smiled his calm, imperturbable smile, and suggested to the B. M. that it was a warm afternoon.

Thomas Wood Stevens 189 (pljtftp © mforf$ Qlrmour Philip Danforth Armour was born May 16, 1832, at Stockbridge, Madison County, New York. There were six brothers and two sisters in the family. Philip’s father, Danforth Armour, was engaged in farming, and Philip, the son, with the oth- ers, grew up having instilled in him habits of industry and economy. As to his edu- cation, the country school-house took care of that, with the advantages of the seminary afterward. Had not young Philip Armour taken a buggy ride in a hired rig in company with one of the young women attending the seminary it is not unlikely he would have gone from seminary to college in following the irresistible tendency upward. That ride changed the entire current of his life. He had been indentured to a farmer, in ac- cordance with the custom of the times, but when the stern principal of the seminary refused to overlook the buggy ride, and expelled both young Armour and his compan- ion in the innocent pastime, he was seized with a craze to join in the rush of gold- seekers to California. WITH THE COLDSEEKERS Although but twenty years of age in 1852, Mr. Armour made the trip success- fully, passing through numerous dangers which at times rendered his safe arrival across the continent a matter of grave doubt. Reaching the gold Helds, he went to work with a will, had moderate success, and, unlike most of his companions, saved what he found. The dissipation of mining camps had no attraction for him, but the education, the learning, the self-reliance, the broadening influence of having himself alone to de- pend on in the midst of wild surroundings, with human life of little value, developed him far more, probably, than years in a college, to which he probably would have gone direct from the farm had not the buggy ride interposed. BACK FROM THE COLD FIELDS It was in 1856 that Mr. Armour, then twenty-four years of age, returned to the cast. When he had left the old home his moving ambition was to get enough gold in California with which to buy a farm and settle down in the neighborhood with his father and brothers. Now, he had the money to buy the best farm in the region, but what had been the greater object of his life four years before no longer attracted him. With the instinctive feeling of an ability to command, he desired something to command. In following out his bent he Hrst went to Cincinnati, where he remained a short time. Here he married Miss Mclvina Bell Ogden in 1862. IN BUSINESS IN MILWAUKEE Mr. Armour next removed to Milwaukee, where he formed a partnership with Frederick B. Miles and entered the commission business. The firm met with good I 90 success, but was dissolved in 1863. This threw on the young business man the neces- sity of again chosing a sphere in life Lumber was at that time an attractive venture, and Mr. Armour thought seriously of entering the field. Finally he decided to take the place of Frederick Layton in the packing business, with John Plankington as his partner. IN THE PACKING BUS NESS Thus was begun a close connection, both sociallv and in a business way, between Mr. Armour and Mr. Plankington, which continued until the latter’s death. Mr. Plankington had been long a resident of Mil- waukee and had built up a successful busi- ness. The addition of the fund of tremend- ous, untiring energv which Mr. Armour brought to the firm re- sulted in a vast exten- sion of its interests and laid the foundation of the fortunes of both the partners. After two years of this asso- ciation Mr. Armour conceived the master stroke which will ever be remembered in the packing business. He made up his mind that pork selling at $40 a barrel was too high, and that as soon as the war ended the price would collapse. Al- though he was a young man — only thirty- three years—the sen- ior partner accepted his views, and he went to New York, then the center of speculative activity, bent on the feat of breaking the price of pork. The story of how well he succeeded has been told often. Every suc- cessive union victory knocked out profits. Petersburg fell, Sherman began marching up toward Richmond from the south, then Richmond was abandoned, and finally came Appomattox. Oft' went pork with each event, and the young broker from the west who had sold all the pork he could get anyone to take at 540 a barrel, delivered it at about 51 8. A vast extension of the fitm’s business followed after young Armour’s celebrated pork deal in New York. A branch was established in New York under the management of Mr. Armour’s brother, H. O. Armour. Not long after,the firm entered Chicago and Kansas City, but i: was not until 1875 that Mr. Armour removed to Chicago from Milwaukee and took his place at the head of Armour Co. frofn the day it opened its oflices. It at- tracted no large amount of attention, but it pursued its steady, even tenure, pushing its business in all directions and adding annually large sums of capital, which were ex- pended in still greater extensions. From pork7 it was only a step to grain, and Mr. Armour became prominently identified with the grain trade. It was in 1882 when his power in the wheat pit on the Board of Trade became manifest. He was drawn into that deal bv the circumstances that close personal friends had become seriously involved before he knew what was going on. By main force of mas- terly strategy, backed by his capital, Mr. Armour maintained the price of wheat at a range of 25 to 30 cents higher than at any other market in the country, and succeeded in carrying it through to the end. He is credited with having made a handsome profit out of the operations, but it is noticeable that he was not concerned in a large degree in any other grain corner until he was again drawn in by the gigantic operations in December, 1897. THE LEITER WHEAT DEAL Again in 1S97 Mr. Armour found that he had contracted to deliver a large amount of wheat to Joseph Lcitcr by December 31. It was still an unsettled ques- tion as to whether he sold the wheat short that Joseph Lcitcr would not make his deal successful or had accumulated the shortage in the ordinary course of trade owing to the unnatural difference in the prices between grades. However that may be Armour Co. were short. The head of the firm did not choose to give his check to Joseph Leiter and let it go at that. There was wheat and plenty of it in the northwest, and he started his men out for it. He took every bushel he could get at Duluth, secured another batch at Minneapolis, taking it directly away from the mills, and everywhere wheat that could be delivered on contract was taken. Lake boats were sent in fleets to Duluth to bring the grain to Chicago, but while there was still 1,500,000 bushels afloat on Lake Superior St. Mary’s river froze up. Mr. Armour immediately hired all the ice-crushers he could secure, broke a way through the ice and brought the boats through to Chicago with their grain. It was Christmas before the last of it had been unloaded and the warehouse receipts had gone to Joseph Leiter. There was considerable loss on Mr Armour’s part in the transac- tion, but he was spared the ignominy of acknowledging himself beaten. When Joseph Leiter finally quit and L. Z. Ixuter, his father, undertook the great task of straighten- ing out the tangled affairs of the wheat deal, it was to Mr. Armour the elder Leiter went, and the perfect machinery of Armour Co. was put to work getting rid of the Leiter wheat. Some of the grain which Mr. Armour had brought through the ice from Lake Superior for delivery to Joseph Leiter had to be marketed again by Armour Co. A higher tribute to commercial probity and business ability could not have been paid than was given Mr. Armour by L. Z. Leiter in this act. These incidents in Mr. Armour’s career in the grain trade pointedly illustrate his tactics of dogged perseverance, wonderful energy and marvelous fertility of resources in the great game on the Board of Trade, in which the price of the world’s food supply is at stake. He never was a gambler or a plunger except in the one case of his pork 192 deal at the close of the war. When in the manipulations of the market he became mixed up in a melee he showed the pits that Armour was a “buzz saw. ” No concern doing business on the board eliminated speculation to a larger degree from its business bv “hedges” than this one. As showing the grasp of the situation which was possessed in the La Salle street (Chicago) office it may be mentioned that Armour Co. and Bartlett, Frazer Co. joined in putting up an elevator in Buffalo a tew years ago to handle their own busi- ness, and that in a single season of navigation the prolits of the elevator paid for itself. MR. ARMOUR’S UNFLACINC INDUSTRY Mr. Armour was the hardest worked man in the establishment. He arose at $ o’clock, breakfasted at 6, and was at his office at 7 o’clock every morning. There he always found a bunch of flowers with a huge ox horn for a vase. A man had pre- ceded him, who had opened the cables, giving reports from foreign offices and connec- tions. He generally worked until 6 o’clock, when he went to his residence for din- ner. At 9 o’clock he retired. That was the daily schedule for many years. Or late years he had gone out earlier at times. These eleven hours he devoted to a close attention to business. When the office was still in Washington street, in Chicago, Mr. Armour was approachable by the gen- eral public, but with the great growth of his business affairs he was compelled to hedge himself in behind secretaries and superintendents, who prevented people seeing him unless their business was of sufficient importance to take up the time of the head of the firm. There was no department where Mr. Armour did not have an accurate knowl- edge of what was going on. His grasp of detail from wheat to pork and from pork to railroads, and from railroads to all the other interests seemed marvelous to the men under him. When he wanted to take up a matter he called the man at the head of a department to him, paid close attention to what he had to say after a few questions, and then gave his instructions. So perfect was the discipline of the machine tthat em- ployes never thought of violating his instructions. In this manner he never had to worry whether his plans were being carried out or not. HIS HEALTH BECOMES IMPAIRED Firm grip on affairs was maintained until the spring of 1899. Then his health became impaired. Although nothing was left undone to bring about its restoration, his apparent recovery was but temporary. TREATMENT OF EMPLOYES In the treatment of the army of laboring men which Armour Co. supported, a broad liberality was followed, and the relations were disturbed with few labor troubles. There was one great sympathetic strike at the Stock Yards, in which the militia had 10 be called out, but this was not due to specific grievances in the packing houses. The seat of trouble was elsewhere. After that strike had been won by the packers there was no other trouble. THE BUSINESS INCORPORATED Careful preparation had been made after the death of P. D. Armour, Jr., to pre- serve the great Armour interests intact when the head of the company should pass away. This was done by the incorporation of Armour Co. as a joint stock com- pany in place of the co-partnership it had been from i:s inception. So carefully had 193 the plans for the future been made that the death of Mr. Armour will have little effect on the out- ward working of the great enterprises with which he had been so closely identified. Armour Co. will remain a potent factor in the development of trade. ENORMOUS BUSINESS OF ARMOUR CO. The business of Armour Co. in its multifarious branches reaches colossal proportions. Testimony before an investigating commission said that the firm did 5200,000,000 worth ofbusi- ness a year in meat products. In the actual handling of grain not less than one-third of the crops of the west passed at one time or another through the hands of this firm, as they were shipped to eastern or foreign markets. mr. armour’s philanthropies The greatest of Mr. Armour’s philanthropies, which were numerous, was the founding and endowment of the Armour Institute of Technology at Armour Avenue and Thirty-third Street, Chicago. The amount of his bequests is about 53,000,000. THE MISSION AND ARMOUR INSTITUTE In his later years Mr. Armour devoted much time and gave liberally of his money to the Armour Mission and Armour Institute. The mission was founded by his brother, Joseph F. Armour, who died in January, 1881. He had bequeathed 5100,000 for the establish- ment of the mission, placing the work in the hands of P. D. Armour. The mission was opened in 1886, the South Side, near Thirty-third Street, being selected for the work. From his work in carrying out the wishes of his brother Mr. Armour became engrossed in its objects and adopted the mission as his own. The mission led inevitably to the Armour Institute of Technology. Once the Institute was organized, Mr. Armour’s whole soul was enlisted in its upbuilding. He had never done anything by halves, and he did not stop short with the Institute. With his benefactions in February, 1899, it is estimated that Mr. Armour gave to the Institute and mission about 53,000,000. Long rows of flats in Thirty-third Street and Armour Avenue were deeded by Mr. Armour to the Institute to provide it with a permanent endowment. A little city has grown up by itself around that section, raised by Armour money, for the maintenance of the work of the institute. It was long the aim of Mr. Armour to give to Chicago one of the most complete schools of technology in the United States, if not in the world. The results have been a revelation to people who have recently visited the institute. A Sunday school with thousands of children, reg- ular church services, and a large amount of mission work among the poor are a few ot the objects attained by the institution. In its educational work the institute bids fair to take its place among the great institutions of learning in the country. Mr. Armour often visited both the institute and mission, and he never seemed happier than when witnessing the progress they were making. T. P.

Enter 'I'he Lady Killer In which one sees a finish. And it came to pass in the days of King Haldermain the 43rd that his majesty did some mifty stunts in that black art which he calls tele- graphy, and had many rooms of the Palace littered up with his awesome apparatus. Now, one of the King’s nobles, Harry the Horse Power, He of the brazen Jaw and Rubber Tongue, was of main curious disposition and did one time monkey with the King’s apparatus. He soon made the discovery that by certain weird manipulation he could produce a series of sweet and dulcet clicks which pleased his ear most mightily. Firing of the sport he turned away when the sounds seemed to be repeated by an invisible hand. “Lo, a marvel,” quoth he, and ran to tell the discoveries he had made. His confidant, he of the Tousaled Locks, has- tened to view the marvel while Sir Horse- Power told many new stunts about condensers and induction and such weird matters. Soon, however, he of the Plowing Presses saw two small wires which ran from the apparatus into the corridor and from thence into another of the kings appartments; then the grewsome clicking ceased, and there entered the room one Hendie, he of the Pea-Green Jerkin, and when the inventor told him the tale he smiled a sickly smile, and taking the poor, deluded youth by the hand he pointed out the two magic wires and then—. But never mind; he of the Pea-Green Jerkin only smokes. 200 The Southern Railway HAS 7297 MILES TRAVERSING THE BEST country on earth BEST for Business BEST for Pleasure BEST LINE TO ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN THE SOUTH BEST LINE TO ASHEVILLE, N.
