When we think of this tract of land covered with its many buildings and later with brick, stone, mortar and rubbish, it seems as if nothing less than a magician’s wand could have brought about such a complete change in so short a time. The students returning to school for the Autumn term, could scarcely believe their eyes as they looked upon our new campus, with its beautiful lawn, and a splendid lunch room and athletic clubhouse at one end. Work was begun on the grounds in May, 1904, and everything was completed and ready for the stu- dents by September 1.1904. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. F. U. Smith, our Comptroller, the plans were executed and carried out, with the valuable assistance of Mr. James Little. That the students thoroughly appreciate this gift of Mr. Armour is evidenced by the unusual interest taken by them in outdoor sports and games of all kinds. That it contributes largely to the health, development and comfort of the students there is no question. The present school year is characterized by various activities in the several departments which tend to make the life of an institution vigorous and efficient. The continued prosperity of the school is illustrated in a forcible manner by the extent of the registration for the year. Of late, each succeeding year has shown evidence of healthy growth, but in the present year the marked increase in the total enrollment is noteworthy. This is particularly noticeable in the College of Engineering, where the number of students exceeds the enrollment for the academic year 1903-1904 by nearly one hundred. In the main, this may be accounted for by the wave of prosperity which has seemed to extend to all manufacturing industries and branches of the engineering profession. To no small extent have the students of the American School of Correspondence contributed to this large enrollment, especially in the evening classes. Several American School students are already members of our Freshman class, and if present indications count for anything, many students will come to us from this source. There are already five hundred students preparing with the American School of Correspondence for admission to the College of JO Engineering. The total enrollment at the present writing is classified as follows: College of Engineering...................... 587 The Scientific Academy...................... 285 The Evening Classes......................... 340 The average age of students entering the Freshman class is nineteen years, eight months. In the College of Engineering, we have students from thirty States and territories and seven foreign countries. Of the 587 college students 345 reside in Chicago. The Scientific Academy has representatives from twenty States and territories, four foreign countries and 204 from Chicago. In September, 1904, thirty-three students entered our engineering courses from twenty-eight colleges and universities scattered over the country, which fact furnishes gratifying evidence of the esteem in which the Institute is held in other institutions of learning. The attendance for each year in the College of Engineering since its inception has been as follows: 1893-1894-. 252 1899-1900- • 178 1894-1895-. • 111 1900-1901. • 229 1895-1896-• .154 1901-1902. • 353 1896-1897.. • 158 1902-1903. 422 1897-1898.. • 144 1903-1904- • 493 1898-1899- • .134 1904-1905. -587 The graduates of the College of Engineering now number 210, nearly all of them holding positions of trust and responsibility. The location of the Armour Institute of Technology in one of the greatest industrial and engineering cities of the world presents opportunities for its graduates such as can be offered by very few technical institutions. The present year has been an exceptional one for the demand of engineers, and the number of positions offered has exceeded the number of students avail- able. We already have applications filed in advance for members of the Class of 1905. Early last year it was recognized that if the instruction in the Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering Departments was to be maintained at its present high standard, further facilities must be provided in the way of more space and more equipment. The old drill hall in the Mission Build- ing was remodeled during the summer for the Civil Engineering Drafting Room, and its former quarters, on the fourth floor of the main building, were fitted up for the new Engineering Chemistry Laboratory. This new arrangement is highly satisfactory, and the Civil Engineering Department, with the recent additions to its equipment, now offers facilities for instruc- tion equal to those of the best institutions in the country. To the already splendid equipment of this department the following pieces of apparatus have been added:—One Azimuth, five Wye levels, one Thacher slide rule, one set railroad curves, one set ship curves and four transits. The Chemical Engineering Department has, in addition to the above mentioned Engineering Chemistry Laboratory, equipped a laboratory for the special study of Electro-Chemistry. It is expected that, in the near future, plans will be effected by which students may specialize in this subject during the Junior and Senior years of their course. The equipment of the Chemical Laboratories has been increased during the year by two complete Hempel gas analysis outfits, four Becker balances, platinum crucibles and other small pieces of apparatus. The efficiency of the Physics Laboratories has been increased by a large specific heat apparatus and two heat of vaporization calorimeters, designed by Prof. Wilcox, and made by our mechan- ician, Mr. Mulvey. Other pieces purchased for the department are a duplex Geryk vacuum pump, Becker balance, Bunsen effosometer and several Green thermome- ters. Some important instruments made by the mechanicians and designed by Prof. Burnham are the following:—A photometer for measuring the time required for charge to burn in gas engine cylinder, an exten- someter, a rotary gas engine indicator. The following were designed by Prof. Freeman:—A farader for measuring condenser capacity and a rotating commutator for measuring induction. The removal of the lunch room to the north end of Ogden Field made it possible for the Electrical Engineering Department to enlarge its Dynamo Laboratory, so that it now occupies the entire south end of the main build- ing, on the first floor. This laboratory has added to its already splendid equipment a 15 horse-power single phase induction motor, one 15 horse- power series motor and controller, one 9V kilo-watt alternating current generator and one 1.87 kilo-watt rotary converter. A 30 kilo-watt turbo- generator has been purchased and will be installed in the Steam Engine Laboratory. For the other electrical laboratories have been purchased a mercury vapor lamp, a Hefner amyl acetate standard lamp, resistance and post-office boxes, permeameters, ohmmeters, ammeters, voltmeters, Watt- meters, tachometers, galvanometers, condensers, hysteresis tester, and an additional storage battery of 120 cells. In addition to the above, several pieces of original design are being made by the mechanicians. The Telephone Engineering Department is now well equipped and valuable additions are being constantly made. This branch of engineering offers splendid inducements to those interested in this line of work, and as Armour Institute of Technology is the only institution in the United States 3$ offering a distinct course in this subject, the prospects for the future are certainly reassuring. The Mechanical Engineering Department has made many additions in the way of machines and apparatus in the different shops and laboratories. Among the most important are a pneumatic hammer for the Foundry, a pipe cutting machine for the Forge Shop, a wood shaper, a trimmer, and two wood lathes for the Pattern Shop, and a Brown Sharp Universal grinder for the Machine Shop. The equipment of the Mechanical Laboratories has been increased by a 6' x 6 vertical steam engine, a wire testing machine, chemical balances, a micro-photographic outfit, a Herasus oven for high temperature measure- ments, a high pressure testing pump, a storage battery, steam calorimeters, scales, pyrometers, planimeters, tachographs, chronographs and several other minor pieces of apparatus. The development of the course in Fire Protection Engineering dur- ing the past year has been most grat- ifying. While this course is planned for those who wish to enter the field professionally, it also offers a splendid opportunity for those who desire a broad technical education, including not only the engineering training, but an insight into com- mercial methods and an intelligent knowledge of insurance. The opportunities offered in Chicago, with its vast manufacturing industries, is unsurpassed for the study of insurance hazards, and the Underwriters’ Laboratories furnish the means for the experimental study of problems of fire protection such as can be found in no other city in the world. For several years past, the Art Institute, in co-operation with the Armour Institute of Technology, has maintained a school of architecture known as the Chicago School of Architecture, offering a two years’ and a four years’ course. The Institute has now assumed the entire responsibility for this course, and it is now organized as the Department of Architecture of the Armour Institute of Technology. In addition to the regular course, a new system of study, embodying some features of the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Paris, has been adopted. Advancement will depend upon credits in competitions passed upon by juries of practicing architects rather than upon periods of study. Young architects not in the school will be permitted to enter the competitions. Drawings in competition will be exhibited publicly, so that architects seeking assistants may find them among the students. The above system was proposed by an 39 advisory committee of architects, and has been worked out by Mr. J. Gamble Rogers and Prof. Walter F. Shattuck of the Department of Archi- tecture. The enrollment of students this year is the largest since the establishment of the course and several applications for the ensuing year have already been made. New life and vigor has seemed to permeate the entire department, and much credit is due Prof. Shattuck and Prof, von Holst for their energetic efforts in bringing about this condition. The summer session has now become a permanent feature in the organization of the Institute. The significant growth of attendance and the interest taken by both students and faculty make it manifest that its good work should continue. Regular courses are given, for which students receive full credit in the College of Engineering and the Scientific Academy. Special courses are arranged for mechanics, artisans and correspondence school students who have not the opportunity of attending the regular school year. Manual training teachers find the shop and drawing courses especially adapted to their purposes. The evening classes are fulfilling their mission of reaching the class of men which Mr. Armour had in mind when he founded the Institute, and they also offer the opportunity of preparing for a college course to many young men who could not otherwise think of so doing. Many students are availing themselves of this opportunity and several have already entered the college, having prepared themselves in this way. In view of the increasing demand for a course in science, the Institute has decided to establish such a course, beginning in September, 1905. This is designed to meet the wants of persons who, while not caring to take a complete engineering course, may wish to avail themselves of the training and associations of a technical institution. To such are offered not only extended instruction in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also options in topics selected from the several engineering courses and a wide range of other subjects. Arrangements have also been made to establish graduate courses in the departments of Electrical, Civil and Chemical Engineering and in the departments of Mathematics and Physics. The increased enrollment in the technical schools throughout the United States shows not only a growing appreciation by the people for high grade scientific instruction, but that it is regarded as an absolute essential for the development of the vast resources of a great nation. The Armour Institute of Technology has always stood for that which was best and highest in scientific instruction, and as the years have passed, the standard of scholarship has kept pace with that of the foremost institutions of learning in our country, a fact that fills the hearts of students, alumni and faculty with a justifiable pride. We are proud of our present and we are looking for rapid advancement and still greater oppor- tunities in the future. ■ The Lit rary In the Integral last year a retrospective glance was given of the history of the Library. This year the statistical tables show a very satis- factory increase in the attendance, accessions and circulation. Bibliog- raphies on the following subjects have been made and are on file in the Library for reference : Astronomy Bearings Boiler Scale Cams Cement Centrifugal Pumps Fans Concrete, Comparison of made with limestone screenings and with sand Dams Elevated Tanks Gas Engines Gas Producers Gears Liquid Fuel Mechanical Plant Mechanical Stokers Micro-photography of Iron and Steel Oil Pavements Piping Power Plants Pumps Pyrometry Reinforced Concrete Reservoirs Rotary Converters Sewerage Disposal Plants Steam and Oil Separators Steam Engine Steam Trap Superheated Steam Tool Steel Trestles Underground Water Water Power Development It is the aim and constant effort of the Library Committee to procure, as far as possible, all works of real value which may appear in the various fields of scientific research and to make the Library of Armour Institute of Technology the greatest possible influence for usefulness.

THE BOOK OF ALMUS PATER CHAPTER I. AN D it came to pass, many years after the flood, there was given to the world Almus Pater, and he did wax fat and grow strong. 2 And he did beget many sons who were loyal to him. 3 And when, in the evening of one night he was called by the spirit, he did rise up and offer his praises to the Lord for such as was given him, saying, •1 And it was the pleasure of the Lord to give me many sons who are but a short time with me in the flesh, but unto the end of their days are with me in the spirit, and for such do I offer Thee my praises and entrust to Thee all the sons of Almus Pater. 5 And the Lord was pleased and did shower many blessings upon Almus Pater. 0 Houses He gave him and all the things that goeth therein. And He gave to him care of all the books and knowl- edge of the earth, saying, 7 In the full enjoyment of thy pros- perity. thou hast turned to Me and it pleaseth the Lord to give thee custody over knowledge; thee and thy sons. And they shall multiply and become powerful, but shall ever turn to thee. 8 And this is thy reward. CHAPTER II. AND it shall come to pass that after there shall be light, yea, nineteen hundred years and one more, there shall be born unto Armour Tech, one of thy families, a mighty son who shall be known as the class of Nought Five. 2 And he shall be powerful and even as a giant to his brother classes. 3 This son of Armour Tech shall have many children, and of these two score and eleven shall survive and prove them- selves worthy of thee. 4 And they shall be scattered over the earth and shall be monuments to thy name, spreading knowledge and wisdom to thy people. 5 And of all the sons of Armour Tech none shall be as powerful. fl • And it shall come to pass that Nought Five shall triumph in thy name over his fellow classes, and shall be as a mountain, while the others are as the hills; both above the common level of all else on earth. 7 And this shall be on account of thy good o ess. 8 And so spake the Lord. 9 And it was even so. Almus Pater did become master of books, and his sons did beget knowledge. 10 And he wondered of the powerful son of Armour Tech. CHAPTER III. AT the meeting of the night and day, there happened a time when Alums Pater was weary and fell asleep over his books. 2 Then did the spirit come to him and call him by name, saying, 3 Almus Pater, thy wish is granted. Thou shalt see Nought Five in all his glory and even as he will be many years from now. Look ! 4 And Almus Pater saw the Heavens open and in the opening were many men, and it was given him to know them and their deeds. 5 He recognized Jimmye, who was singing his praise to Almus Pater and it was pleasant to hear. 6 And three were apart and did play beautiful music. 7 When suddenly there did arise a terrible noise, like unto a thousand thou- sand serpents and then did the thunder roar loudly. And from the throats of the JS hosts came a happy and victorious shout, Hah ! Nought Five ! 8 Around the ground were other classes which were not seen at first. 9 And then did arise from the earth a most glorious spectacle. Two large svm- ix)ls were they and did mean Nought Five 10 And at the command of one Brakk Ett they were covered over with stars and it was glorious. 11 And Almus Pater said, I am satisfied. 12 But when he looked again, all the classes on the ground were running as if stricken with fear, and the spirit said, 18 And it is even so, that the brilliancy of Nought Five hath caused them to flee. 14 And Almus Pater wondered thereat. 15 The hosts drew nearer and from the ranks came a lady, fair but not over stout, who brought fruit. 1G And Almus Pater knew it was Magge and the fruit was currents, which many of the class were raising and studying. 17 Then did the clouds roll up and the Heavens close aud Almas Pater saw no more. 18 But the spirit did say unto Almus Pat“r, Even as they are fair to look upon, so are their deeds. CHAPTER IV. NOW when Armour Tech was given his mighty son Nought Five, he had many daughters, but as he looked upon his son, his heart gladdened and he said, 2 God is good. 3 Also offered he praises to Almus Pa er, saying, 4 Thou hast given me a sou that is of mine own heart. May all my children to come be as he and 1 will be satisfied. 5 But Almus Pater was angered because Armour Tech had presumed to judge finally of his work. G • And he rebuked him, saying, 7 While Nought Five is thy best son and shall rule over his brothers, thou hast displeased me by being satisfied. 8 No more daughters shalt thou have, but all thy children shall be male, even unto the end of the earth. 9 And it was so. 10 And while Nought Five was with Armour Tech, none was there which could equal his deeds, which were many. CIIAI’TEK V. AND the sons of Nought Five were of four tribes, the Ees, Mes, Ces and Ches. 2 All were peaceful and worked to- gether and did produce results. 3 And the Ees were of greatest num- bers, and had many of fame. 4 There was Ash the Smiling, and Phillip the Actor, and Hutch the Artist, and there were many more. 5 There were Payne the Tall and Wright the Tubb, and Hhea the Cute. And one was ferocious and did make much noise, who was called Redman. G Of the tribe of Mes many were as dwarfs, for three, known as Don, Goldie and Bennie were as stalks of grain beside a tree of the forest when in the presence of Durr the Hefty. 7 And of the rest were Penn of the receipt book and Harper the Rotund and de Beer, whose name dispelleth thirst. 8 And all were great in the eyes of Almus Pater. 9 And they did work wonders and establish customs. 10 After them by their example, did the classes struggle to decide who was mightiest, on the second day of the second week of each year. 11 As they did, do the classes continue io give in tiie first year of their existence as sons of Armour Tech and Almus Pater, a festivity known as the Freshman dance. 12 And they did originate and perpet- uate many other things and were skilled in tests of strength and of brain and did triumph. 13 And of the Armourites, none did excel Nought Five. And Armour Tech did await many years for another like him. 59 Ure J unior Class Colors: Navy Blue and Gold. Yell : Rixey, Ray, Rah, Rise, Armour Tech., '06. OFFICERS G. B.

Robert Junior History Introduction FROM the nature of the case, a class history is the most favorable presentation of the achievements of the class. Nothing could be more favorable to '06 than the plain, unvarnished truth, so here it is with all the trimmings left off. Chapter I. Never were there such Freshmen. Manfully backing our gigantic president in the class rush, we rolled the ’05 hordes in the mire. Then adding science to our brute strength, we subdued their much touted football team. The basketball season arrived, and we again overcame our rivals, and then vanquished ’04. In bowling we swept the board, and did likewise in baseball. Still having time upon our hands, we gave the usual social functions, with enlargements. That all our attention was not given to class affairs, the number of our men on Institute teams shows. Throughout all this outside work, we still managed to maintain our high standard of scholarship, showing our versatility. Chapter II. Football in 1903 brought us more glory, and not wishing to monopolize all the honors, we gave ourselves over to our studies. Thus the bowling honors fell to our friends of the even year, ’04, and, as we did not push it, there was no basketball that winter. Baseball claimed our attention in the spring, and again we were victorious. This year also we took our due place in the social affairs of the school. Our aggressive spirit was shown in the way the newly organized ’06 Civil Society carried out the purpose of its organization. Our pocket size edition of the Fulcrum commended itself to the many who were, not unnaturally, so interested in its contents that they had to read in class. Chapter III. Now, we are poor, overworked Juniors, and time, swiftly flying, leaves us too few hours of the twenty-four in which we may take up outside work with our accustomed zest. However, we have entered more seriously into our fewer undertakings. Of this book, you are judge. The men from the Juniors on the football team were more numerous than those from any other class. In more than one game, the five men on the basketball team were Juniors, and, more- over, we gathered five more basketball stars and easily defeated the upstart ’08 team. Our record could hardly be better, and there is no Junior who would not say with pride, “ I am of the Class of ’06.” 4s •This Is not a figure of speech.

A ND YET how could we disappoint our friends by not repeating to them the story of the versatility and wonderful accomplishments of the renowned and great Class of 1907, whose luster outshines that of all other classes of our beloved A. I. T., not even excepting the 57 varieties. You will remember how well we performed our task of introducing the poor and benighted Freshmen into the beauties of college life at the begin- ning of this year how we as a reception committee did our best to show them all the courtesies to which they were entitled a free but blinded ride over our beautiful lanes and boulevards. But they, poor unsophisticated mortals, utterly failed to appreciate these beauteous sights, owing, perhaps, to the earliness of the hour, and other tight reasons. Still further to show our hospitality, we spread before them a feast a la milk carte in the beauti- fully frescoed coal bin in the lower recesses of the Physics laboratory. We shall always remember with pleasure how they made one grand effort to overwhelm us with thanks (?), and then resumed their peaceful representa- tion of “ Asleep at the Bin.” Altho’ on this occasion, and the day following, we showed our guests many other kindnesses, they were still not satisfied with our efforts in their behalf, and it required the final test of a football battle to show them that we were indeed their superiors in every way. It was only after this trial, which resulted in the only possible way, that they were content to take the station for which they were naturally fitted, and retire forevermore into innocuous desuetude. The Class of 1907 has taken an active part in general athletics with results that are very gratifying. It is unnecessary to make any extended 7f reference at this time. It is enough to say that our boys are all striving for the highest honors, and will be content with nothing less. The Fulcrum, under the present able management, has become a bright, breezy and instructive paper, and we are confident that the “Class of 1907” can and will, in the coming year, demonstrate its ability to make the “Integral ” the greatest ever. As an interesting point in connection with the class might be mentioned the fact that we are the only class on record in which may be found both father and son. Reference to the list of members will show that both Balthasar Hoffman and Balthasar Hoffman, Jr., are enrolled therein. This, however, is only one of the many interesting points about our class. Any one desiring further information may obtain it from our Mr. Badger, who is capable, and more than willing, to give it at any time and place. In conclusion, the “Class of 1907” wishes to remind everyone that they will continue to “ Jog on, jog on, the footpath way And merrily hent the stile-a; A merry heart goes all the day, And a sad one tires in a mile-a.” — Winter's Tale. • Kuitok’s Noth. -This with their usual egotistical euphemism. cTke Freshman Class Colors : Scarlet and Black.

This infancy is, however, assured of a speedy and successful maturity by the events that took place on Freshman Tuesday, because these events were important factors in the enhancement of ’08’s prestige, inasmuch as they revealed the resourceful- ness, courage and tenacity of purpose, of the material of which the class is composed. The conduct of the Freshmen during their somewhat informal, to say the least, initiation into college life at Armour certainly is an illustra- tion of what loyalty and enthusiasm will do for a newly organized class, even though it be pitted against an organization whose knowledge of the gentle art of rushing is very practical, because of previous training by the Class of ’06. In order to fully appreciate the skill with which the Freshmen handled themselves in the rush, the fact that they utilized a natural condition of the field of battle to divert the first terrific rush of the Sophomores must be known. This legitimate weapon, with which Nature so kindly assisted ’08, was mud. When the ponderous mass of Sophomore hopes reached the Freshman line, the momentum they had gained could not have been resisted by a stone wall, and in order to compensate for this advantage, the Fresh- man formation quickly fell away, thereby causing the Sophomores to plow into the mud, and lose control of themselves. They reached Dearborn Street before they succeeded in stopping. From this place, ’08 quickly drove them back to the Mission. After this exhibition of strategy, and ability to make use of the opportunities presented to them, the Freshmen proceeded to show their strength in hand-to-hand conflict. Every attempt made by the now desperate Sophomores to push the Freshmen back proved unavailing, and as the rush surged back and forth in front of the Mission, the Freshmen responded to “’08 East” as readily as the Japanese to “banzai.” Thus the rush progressed until time was called, the end finding the Freshmen still in possession of, and successfully holding, their position. The very creditable showing of the Class of ’08 in athletics, and in all other student activities at Armour, corroborates the statement that ’08 history will be such that everyone of its members will be proud that they participated in its making. 77 A O..

Wolters William G. Wuehrman R. McEldowney The Art Institute has co-operated with Armour Institute of Technology during the past few years in the maintenance of the Chicago School of Architecture; but not until the present year has the Architectural course become essentially an Armour Institute course, and this is the excuse for being represented in the pages of the Integral, if any excuse is necessary- Suffice it to say, that the Architectural students have formed an organ- ization of their own, and now appear in public, for the first time, under a distinctive title. The reader is referred to the adjoining group for the satisfying of any proper curiosity in regard to the personal looks of the budding architects. As to their mental characteristics, the anecdote on the page following may give some sort of an idea, although the men should not be judged by the remarks with which they are credited. So A Day at the Atelier “ OOD morning, men.” This from the newly elected “ Massier” or ‘Mace-bearer,” as he enters the Atelier about 10:30, and proceeds to start work for the day. His arrival brings assurance that the day is already well along, and that lunch time will soon be there. “Good morning, Mosseer,” “Good morning, Mr. Messiah,” are the various return greetings from the aforesaid “men,” and the day is com- menced. “Say, who stole my thumb-tack?” shouts Cook, looking around the floor for the precious metal disk, and not forgetting to keep a sharp lookout on the boards of his next door neighbors—“ Fritz ” Anderson and the “Massier.” At this, “Wrinkles,” scenting trouble, tugs at his chain, which slips, and he makes for the door, with the evident intention of copy- ing his master, in seeking the society of congenial friends of the fair sex in the basement. “Say, Cook, who are your friends? Introduce me, will you ?” is heard from the corner, where “Dame” Fortune smiles. “Shorty” Truesdell talks parrot talk, “Jerry” Cerny says nothing, J. “Carrie” Johnson “piffles” at anything, and Jack Travnicek sings: “ Katrine, Katrine, you're a picture so fine, That I couldn't paint it like you are, ain’t it, My sweet Katrine !' ’ “Orville, oh, Orville! Can’t you come over and play in my back yard ?” pipes Cookie, in a childish treble. “I’ll ask my ma if I can come over and play in your back yard,” shrills “ Shorty” in reply, and this starts a song and clog dance by “ A1 ” Becker, to the tune of : “ My, but I feel blue. For 1 really don't know what to do— he having decided to relax for a moment. “Come and look at my house a minute,” calls “Fritz” to Matthes. “Yah, mein freund,” exclaims “Shark” Matthes, “ du bist ein donner wetternochmalschafskopfseselthier, Du!” which precipitates a wrestling bout between the two, during which a drawing board falls over, to say nothing of an easel or two, and finally one of the stools strikes the floor with a heavy thud. Each one bends industriously over his board as the door opens, and a gentlemanly guard appears, with the reasonable request that “We make a little less noise, as it sounds very loud underneath.” After he goes, all is quiet fora while, and Reily, the “ Fighting Con- ductor,” gets another nap; but soon our irrepressible singer, Becker, strikes up again : “ Let's all go up to Maud’s, We'll have a jubilee. Make love to all her sisters, boys, But please leave Maud to me.” 82 “One o’clock, boys.” It is Professor Shattuck, who has entered, and this is the call to “ Construction ” class. “ Mr. Rasmussen, what constitutes framing ?” is one of the first ques- tions asked. “Studs and purloins,” is the answer, at which the class is amused. “ What is the color of Tennessee marble, Mr. Fortune ?” “I should imagine it is white, with black stripes in it,” says Fortune, at which the class is convulsed. “ Mr. Travnicek, where do we get limestone ?” “From the stone-quarry,” quoth “Trav,” which again brings forth loud guffaws. “Mr. Ostergren, will you go to the board and draw a section of the plate, showing studding and rafters.” Ostergren hesitates, and finally admits that he cannot get the “ vertical proyection yust right.” This so discourages Professor Shattuck that the class is dismissed, leaving many questions unanswered, among which are the following : Why does Wolters spend so much time in the library and office ? What does Ras- mussen find to admire so much in billboards ? Where did Cerny get that black eye ? Why is Reily always so sleepy ? Why is Bates so proud of his home town ? Why are we all so fond of free-hand drawing under Mr. Phoenix ? Why does “Pa” Shattuck object to Kalter’s singing ? Who built the ark ? How could the Reed flirt so openly with the Birdie ? Why is Botteron so popular with the girls of the Art Class ? When did Hinsch escape from the dog show, etc. About this time, or later, absolute quiet is insisted on, as “Patron” Von Holst is criticising our designs. Still later, in the basement class rooms, we listen to the explanations of Monsieur Fleury, our water color teacher, “First you make ze perpendicalaire, zen you make ze ozair lines. You must always commence wiz ze cast shadow. Ze cast shadow is ze darrkaist. Zen you make ze couleurs, one, two, zree—” During Frenchy’s temporary absence, and spurred on by the passing of various charmers along the corridor, we are led by our “sweet singer” into warbling: “ Squeezing, squeezing, I was only squeezing you. What foh. Babe ?” Upon our return to the Atelier, our old friend “ Punch” appears, and “punches” everybody, right and left, up and down, north and south, regardless, which formality having been gone thro’ with, we are made aware that at last another day has ended for the Atelier.

C. 86 History of 05 Academy L S THE Academy becomes more and more a strictly preparatory school for the college, it becomes more and more difficult for any Academy class to retain its individuality. This is especially true of the Senior class, which is made up, not only of proper Academy students, but also of men whose work is partly in the Academy and partly in the College ; which contains, moreover, a large number of students taking only the final prepar- atory work, and new in the school. Considering this confusion of courses and variety of elements, it is surprising how much unity does exist in the present Senior Class. The students who have brought this about, who have all along formed the nucleus of the class, but who are now in the minority, are those who have been with the organization since its beginning three years ago. For toward the close of the first year, the class was called together by Prof. Brewster, and organized. Mr. Harrold was elected first president, and Mr. Kreutz, as secretary, drew up the constitution, which with few changes has been used ever since. The second year, Mr. Healy received the presidency, which office he has held ever since, for he was re-elected at the beginning of the third year, together with Dean Babcock, vice-president; J. I. Menkin. secretary; and D. D. Dick, treasurer. As to the ordinary events of school life, it is sufficient to say that the class has succeeded in everything it has undertaken Owing to changing conditions, the Class of 1905 has been the first to do away with several long-established customs in the Academy, and by break- ing the precedents set by other classes, has set the example for those coming after. The omission by this class of the dance usually given by the Juniors to the Seniors practically put an end to society life in the Academy. Furthermore, it was decided, upon the recommendation of the faculty, that there should be no formal graduation exercises at the close of the school year. All the students realized the trouble and expense for everyone con- es’ nected with the so-called “commencement,” the confusion arising from the mingling of courses in the last year, and the real uselessness and lack of significance in the whole proceeding. For, speaking from the standpoint of the majority of the class, its members will not “graduate” in June, but simply pass into a higher division of the school. The Academy is no longer a separate high school, but is an integral part of the Institute of Technology. The Senior year of the Academy is important, because it contains a group of students, not about to leave their Alma Mater, but upon the last of the stepping-stones to the College of Engineering. And, if ’05 Academy becomes ’09 Tech., bearing with it as much spirit and school interest as has already been developed, the organization will have accomplished its purpose, and its history will have only begun. Sq The Alumni Association THE object of the Alumni Association has been stated so many times in the Integral as well as other publications at Armour that further comment is unnecessary here. The object is fully accomplished. The good-fellowship among Armour students has been remarked on several times by outsiders, and the same good-fellowship is carried over into the Alumni Association. This is in a large measure due to the banquets, and at the same time business gatherings, which are held twice a year - one in June and one in December. At the June meeting the officers for the ensu- ing year are elected and the newly graduated Seniors are greeted. It is, naturally, the more important of the two meetings, and a great effort is made by the Alumni living outside of the city to attend. The result is that usually about half of the membership attends, the other half being more than three hundred miles from the city. The December meeting is more of a social gathering than the one in June, and is really a Christmas dinner. Out-of-town men are not expected to be present at this meeting, although of course they are more than welcome, but the fact that there were nearly sixty members of the Association present at the last one, shows the interest among the Alumni. This meeting was held on December 27th of last year. As is customary at the meetings, the members were called on to give accounts of their engineering experiences, or reminiscences of heir college life. At this meeting also, the Association gave permission to eleven of its members who reside in or near Pittsburg, to form a branch society at that point. This shows that the Association is in a state of healthy growth, and it is probable that before long other branches will be established in other sections of the country. The membership is now over two hundred, the members being divided into active and associate, the latter being those who spent two or more years at Armour, but did not graduate. Practically all of the graduates now belong to the Association, and all are very enthusiastic, carrying with them in after life the old Armour spirit they felt in their college days. At the last June meeting the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, - Vice-President, Treasurer, - Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, Master of Ceremonies, C. L. Tarbell, ’99. A. H. Goodhue, ’99. H. S. Powers, ’99. H. L. Nachman, ’02. A. H. Anderson, ’02. - W. T. Dean, ’00. The Honorary Members of the Association are: President F. W. Gunsaulus, Dean H. M. Raymond and Dean L. C. Monin, of Armour Institute, and President Victor C. Alderson, of The Colorado School of Mines. 02 Register of Members The following abbreviations are used to denote the department in which the graduate received his degree: I. Civil Engineering. II.

It owes its prominence to the fact that it represents the whole school and not a faction. Prior to the formation of this club, there was but one permanent organization in the school, and those without the circle of its membership began to feel a resentment against all organizations as being self-seeking in their interests, looking upon school offices as blue ribbons to be exhibited by the organization as its trophies. This feeling resulted, unconsciously at the time, in the drawing together for social purposes of several members of the class of 1904, at that time students merely, and not in any way leaders in the social life of the H.

These men have since proven themselves to be the best type of social comrades, and the undergraduate body at large, as well as the active members of the Radical Club, recognize in them the typical Armour men. The Radies originally were a free and frolicsome bunch. Their first exploit was in the line of a little class demonstration. The year before their advent, the block of nickel ore by the Mission had been the stump from which several fiery school speeches had been delivered. It held an affectionate place in the thoughts of Armourites. Therefore it was picked as the center of operations. Careful preparations were made. A stone- cutter was hired and some fire water procured for the copper. Here occurred the hitch. Artie Jens connected with the fire water instead of John. Consequently when John turned the corner and saw a subdued light from a dark lantern, and heard the tap-tap of the stone-mason’s hammer as he was starting on the 0 of ’04, he immediately started for the crowd. The crowd evidently had urgent business elsewhere. They fled. John pursued. They refused to halt at his command, and he shot, wound- 1 L. R. Levings A. G. Rockwell R. E. Jens R. 0. Walker G. N.

The stone-cutter, having been paid in advance, disappeared completely and the gang adjourned to a place where they smashed the midnight closing ordinance into little bits of pieces. Since then, Radic activities have been of a more quiet order. The original thirteen initiated thirteen new men from each year. Men leaving school may be replaced by the vote of the members of his class. There are now five classes, and about eighty-five total membership. There are three or four banquets each year, and each class meets at the homes of the different members, where they are regaled with smokes and weenies. The whole club is particularly strong on roast pig and rye bread. Every year a dance, the best of all Armour affairs, is given, and each alternate year an opera is produced. Last year it was the “Walking Delegate,” pronounced by many who saw it to be the finest amateur production they had ever witnessed. The organization is purely social. There are no fees and no dues, and the only obligation, an unwritten one, is that any school affair in which a A. Kelkenney G. Flanagan A. Hayden C. E. Kilgore W. F. He bard J. Hayden W. Hewitt C. U.

Walbridge 124 member of the Radical Club is a directing influence must succeed, and every member of the club is morally and financially liable for its success. It is this assurance of faithful performance of duty that has led the school at large to entrust so large a share of their affairs in the hands of Radical Club men, not because they are Radies, but because they are leaders. When a Radic undertakes an office, he is not expected to succeed, it is known that he will succeed. He is under the immediate influence of fraternity and non-fraternity men, athletes and non-athletes, Radicals and conservatives, social leaders and grinders, and this influence assures that every side of the school body will be representatively dealt with. The Radical who first represents a faction in the discharge of his duties or fails to fulfill his trust to the school, will be looked down upon as a disappointment and a disgrace to the club. 7 Irving Odell Austin Crabbs H.

McClement, President Robert B. Harper, . Secretary IN FEBRUARY, 1903, the organization which has since been known as the Chemical Engineering Society, came into existence. At that time the Chemical Engineering course had been in the college curriculum but a few years. It was early recognized by the heads of the department that the formation of such a club would be of much value to the students of Chemical Engineering. At the organization meeting it was decided that the club needed no constitution, and that no dues would be necessary. The object of the club was to hold meetings about every two weeks and to make these gatherings as beneficial as possible by the reading of papers on Chemical Engineering subjects. In addition to the papers, it was agreed that the club members should make lists of references to articles of interest and value that appear from time to time in the journals and periodicals devoted to theoretical and applied chemistry. For two years the club has prospered, due to the efforts of the Sopho- more, Junior and Senior students in Chemical Engineering who, as active members of the organization, have contributed many papers of interest. The instructors have given some valuable talks and have secured several lectures given by gentlemen not connected with the school. All students in Chemical Engineering as well as the students in other courses have a standing invitation to attend the meetings. The following list of the papers and lectures given before the Chemical Engineering Society since its organization gives a fair idea of the field of work covered: 2S 1902 1903 Sulphuric Acid by the Contact Process, Coke Making, ....

The governing body of the A. I. E. E. realized the propriety of interesting the young men pursuing an electrical course in the various technical institutions throughout the country in the work of the Institute, as well as the desirability of affording these young men an opportunity to get into closer touch with their more advanced fellow workers, and at the same time of offering them an educational opportunity in presenting them with the Proceedings, and a systematic method of discussing the same. To do this, a regulation governing mem- bership was adopted, whereby anyone who is regularly pursuing electrical studies, and who is not a graduate of a technical school or college, may be enrolled as a “student of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers,’’ upon the payment in advance of a fee of three dollars, which covers all the charges of the ensuing year. Such a student is entitled to receive regular monthly Proceedings, and in addition, may purchase a single bound volume of the Transactions at $3.50 each. It should be added in passing that these Transactions consist of a record of the highest and best achievements in electrical engineering as followed in this country. The student branch of the A. I. E. E. at Armour at present consists of forty-two active members, who meet once a month to review papers which have been presented before the Institute, and of which the members have been supplied with advance copies. In addition, new matter may be intro- duced, with the consent of the governing board. In this way an opportunity 130 :Z.FREEMAN R.H.R0BIN50N :C. CLARK C.W.ShlTH L.H.M1LLER H. B. MAR SHALL J.R ARMSTRONG Photo by Walinger is given the young men to express themselves, and to ask questions, and to exercise every ability in properly conducting a meeting of this sort. In this connection it is proper to state that at Armour, each meeting is placed in charge of a different person, so that the good which may come from experiences of this sort may be distributed. Not the least of an engineer’s requirements is the ability to handle himself. As a preliminary practice, the handling of small assemblies of this character is most excellent. Any student member of the A. I. E. E. is a most welcome visitor to any of its regular meetings. By attending these, he comes in touch with prominent men in his work, and has an opportunity to make acquaintances that will be both pleasant and useful. He will be able to get an idea of standards of excellence—what is to be expected of one who makes a success in his chosen line—and thus shape with more definiteness his aims and ambitions. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an organization that stands at the head of the list of organizations associated with the electrical industry in this country. It represents opportunities that few can afford to disregard. The Student Branch especially commends itself to the Elec- trical Engineering student because it renders possible a life of endeavor that is of the highest importance and at the same time is within his reach. The work of the Branch at Armour is growing in extent and importance. It enjoys the distinction of being able to draw inspiration from one of the strongest local branches in the country the Chicago branch of the A. I. E. E. In the midst of such surroundings, there is every reason to predict bright days ahead for the Armour branch. 31 u iHnmniam THE ENGINEERING SOCIETY BORN IN THE FALL OF 1 903 BEGAN TO DIE IMMEDIATELY AND FINALLY PETERED OUT IN THE FALL OF 1904 AGED NEARLY ONE YEAR It went the way of all mankind, Alt ho' it really seemed a shame That one so young should have to die, And leave behind so little fame. 133 THE ’06 Civils are an organization of the present Juniors in the Civil Engineering Department. They were organized in the first term of their sophomore year in order to create a closer bond of good fellow- ship amongst those who would spend nearly three years of their lives together, and to spread a knowledge of engineering works by talks from outsiders and members of the class, and by inspection visits. In promoting friendship the organization has been so successful that it amply repays any void due to the partial failure of our second purpose. The latter is due mainly to lack of time on the part of the members and also on the part of men who would be qualified to give such talks. Several profitable inspection visits have been made in the past year, however, and more are in prospect. The Executive Committee is : Frank T. Pierce, Chairman; Myron B. Reynolds, Frank J. Flanagan The members are as follows: 0. T. Allen E. H. Ellett, Jr. F. J. Flanagan T. S. Ford E. 0. Greifenhagen G. A. Haggander E. F. Hiller C. S. Holcomb C. 0. Johnson Samuel Klein W. G.

Jones, Jr. THE Camera Club is composed of amateur photographers of Armour Institute, banded together for the purpose of learning more of photog. raphy along artistic or technical lines. It has not a single member who does not delight to bask in the blood red rays of the ruby lamp and feel the soothing splash of the cool developer on his finger tips. It is a live organization. The club-rooms in the Mission are admirably equipped for photographic work of all kinds. Among the special conveniences are : An electric arc for copying, an enlarging-reducing-and-copying camera, and an electric fan for drying negatives. Private lockers are provided for members. The situa- tion of the dark rooms makes them especially convenient for men living in the neighborhood of the Institute. An annual exhibition of prints is the principal event of the Camera Club year. It marks the progress of the club, and is always looked forward to by our friends. Last year’s exhibition comprised more than one hundred prints, and was decidedly successful. The membership roll is large and increasing, and the Treasurer reports that the club is strong financially. All Armour students are eligible to membership and may join by complying with the rules and regulations of the club. l37 OFFICERS William C. Brubaker, President L. H. Badger, Vice-President Roy S.

Spalding THE Young Men’s Christian Association at Armour Institute of Tech- nology was organized in 1899. Its membership has risen to over eighty. The prospects for increased usefulness were never so bright as at present. The necessity for the promotion of the religious life among our students is being realized more and more. The members of the Asso- ciation are anxious to make its influence felt, and earnestly invite all who are interested in religion to co-operate with them. The authorities of the Institute have generously placed at the disposal of the Association a flat on Armour Avenue, where the meetings and social gatherings of the Y. M. C. A. are held. Three Bible classes have been '38 rtioto by Wiliiinrr organized. One, conducted by Mr. Charles R. Riker, meets Sundays at 9 a. m., and is engaged in the study of the life of Christ; another, under the leadership of Dr. George L. Scherger, meets Fridays at 5 p. m., while the third, with Mr. Paul C. Foster as leader, convenes on Mondays at 5 p. m., being engaged in the study of Old Testament characters. There is a devotional meeting every Wednesday at 5 p. m. The Y. M. C. A. has for several years given an Annual Freshman Handshake in the Library, and will in the future hold social gatherings at intervals during the year. The house is open during the day and evening. It is fitted out with many things that furnish enjoyment and recreation. Those who love music, will find not only a piano, but also a pianola at their disposal. A cordial invitation is extended every student of the Armour Institute to join the Y. M. C. A. and enjoy the privileges such member- ship affords. IJO Frank Solomon, . . Secretary Student Representative to the Inter-Academic League: M. E. Healy Faculty Representative: Dr. George L. Scherger T THE beginning of this year, the Debating Society was practically reorganized. The name was changed from the Delta Debating Society to that at the beginning of this article ; a new constitution was drawn up and adopted ; and the membership was altogether different. But in spite of the efforts of the officers and supporters of the organi- zation to infuse new interest, their expectations were not altogether realized. On account of the hard courses, outside work and other causes, it was difficult for most of the students to give debating the attention it deserved. Nevertheless, a strong team was chosen, consisting of Messrs. Beifeld, Field and McDonnell, with Mr. Damish as alternate; and prospects looked bright for the Academy. The three other schools in the Inter-Academic Debating League are the Morgan Park and Northwestern Academies and the University High School. Armour met Morgan Park first, and supported the negative of the question, “Resolved, that the contention of the labor unions, that no nonunion man should work in company with a union man, is justifiable.” The Armour team, assisted by the kind and able suggestions of Dr. Scherger and Dr. Colledge, had thoroughly prepared the debate, and presented their side of the question in a dignified and scholarly manner. However, the decision of the judges, given perhaps a little hastily, was in favor of the opposing school. The representatives of the Armour students and faculty who heard the debate were disappointed at this result, and feel that at any rate the members of the team deserve great credit for their excellent work. It is sincerely hoped that next year the society will produce an equally good team, and one which will meet with greater success ; for all would like to see another championship banner in the halls of the Institute. . FOR the last four or five years, the students of the mechanical depart- ment have been endeavoring to organize themselves and attempt to obtain student membership in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. None of the preceding classes succeeded in advancing the project, but it was left to the class of 1905 to take hold of it, and investi- gate the possibilities of membership thoroughly. A meeting of the Senior Mechanicals was therefore called and immediate action was taken. The outcome of the meeting was the organization of the Senior Mechanical Society. According to the constitution, the objects are : 1. To obtain membership in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. 2. To maintain an organization of the students of Mechanical En- gineering at Armour Institute. 3. To study and discuss subjects pertaining to the science of Mechani- cal Engineering. At the first regular meeting the society elected J. H. Felgar as Presi- dent, and F. R. Goldsmith as Secretary-Treasurer. At the same meeting D. E. Willard and W. A. Ratcliff were elected the standing A. S. M. E. Committee. The membership of the society is divided into two classes, active and associate. The members of the Senior Mechanical Class are eligible to the former, and the members of the Junior Class who have completed their Photo by Wall neor winter term’s work to the latter. In this manner it is expected to continue the society from one year to another, and make it a permanent organization of the Institute. For the use of the members, the society has a beautifully furnished room in the flats directly across from the college building, which serves as a study room and a meeting place. The A. S. M. E. considers this society quite favorably, and it is ex- pected that membership will be obtained before the end of the year. After this membership is obtained, it is hoped that the future Senior classes will perpetuate the life of the society, and place Armour Institute in the same light before the A. S. M. E. as other prominent technical schools now stand. The members: H. A. Durr J. H. Felgar G. W. Fiske H. A. Dreffein W. E. Hill W. G. Hoy G. Lennartz A. W. McMillan B. Natkin W. A. Ratcliff D. E.

The reasons for their absence are many, the principal one being the time-worn, but none the less powerful one, of lack of time. In addition, the “Walking Delegate,” quite an undertaking, was given last year, and those who might otherwise have had time for the Glee and Mandolin Clubs did not have time for both. This year, however, being the off year for the Radical operas, the clubs got an early and vigorous start, and have enjoyed a very successful season. Both clubs were organized in September, and a temporary manager, Mr. F. M. deBeer, appointed. The appointment was soon made permanent, and H. B. Marshall and R. D. Morrison were elected student leaders of the Glee and Mandolin clubs respectively. Competent directors were secured, and semi-weekly rehearsals instituted.. The home concert was given February 10, in the Mission, and was such a decided success,that for awhile another was contemplated. Each class had decorated a section of the balcony, which was occupied by the members of the class and their friends, and the two fraternities each had a decorated box. Many encores were responded to by the clubs, and the amusing ones of the Glee Club were highly appreciated. The program follows: PART ONE PART TWO 1. Top Liners . Baum 1.

The attendance here was poor, so that the concert itself was not a success, altho’ the trip was greatly enjoyed by the fellows. The Clubs appear at Ravenswood April 14th, and at Waukegan probably on May 5th. They will give another home concert May 19th, and it is expected that the latter will be a very good close to a successful season. jjS At Ottawa THE Orchestra was organized, through the efforts of Mr. Eugene Hiller, to play at the Freshman Smoker, and its numbers there were greatly appreciated by the crowd. The members, however, enjoyed their weekly rehearsals so much that they decided to keep them up, and have done so all the year. The members: Allan B. Benedict, Leader First Violins: D. D. Dick S. V.

They also have the word “ Exit” over them in large letters, in order that the red lights may not be misunderstood. The exits are to be used only in case of fire, or some other accident. Use of the exits at other times will be regarded as a personal affront by the comedians. The curtain of this theatre is absolutely fire-proof. We mention this to show how useless it is to fire things at the actors. This is a union show, but it will not be necessary to inquire if the orchestra wear union suits. That glittering little bon-mot has been sprung several times already. The audience will be permitted to laugh boisterously whenever a joke is sprung, and they will be allowed to weep softly during the sentimental passages; but any person reversing the above order will be regarded with disfavor by the management. The dressing-room accommodations back of the stage consist of two small rooms and a flight of stairs. We respect- fully request that the audience overlook any loud bumps or sincere profanity that they may hear during the performance, as up to date, some of our cast have not had much experience in dressing on a flight of steps. There is no regular side-show con- nected with this performance, but the Freshman Class may be seen gratis at Armour Institute, 33d Street and Armour Avenue, five days in every week. The lady members of our chorus request us to announce that booze handled by the Royal Barkeeper is mostly counterfeit. Therefore, it will not be of any use for gentlemen to throw bouquets at him.

GILLIES. 05 164 IN THE fall of 1897 the Class of 1901, then freshmen, decided that Armour needed a college paper; where- upon they elected an Editor-in-Chief and a Business Manager. After considerable preliminary discussion and planning, these men produced the first issue of The Fulcrum, which came from the press in November, ’97. That the new paper might be insured of a good beginning this same class, then as sophomores, guided it through its second volume. Since then The Fulcrum has been edited and managed by a staff chosen from each suc- ceeding class, as it came to its sophomore year. During the comparatively short existence of The Fulcrum it has varied very greatly in its make-up. It has passed through several sizes and thicknesses, from a sixteen-page paper, ten by twelve inches, in Volume I, to a forty-eight-page pamphlet, four and a half by six and a half inches, in Volume VII. The present volume was made the size that it is, namely six by nine inches, partly from precedent—as four of the eight volumes are of that size—but mostly from the fact that for its purposes that size has proved the most satisfactory. The Fulcrum in the past has had two functions to fulfill, one that of a magazine, the other that of a newspaper. In the current volume we have striven to carry out both of these as best possible. As a maga- zine we have presented much solid material, both technical and literary. Commencing with the fifth issue we presented a series of numbers, each one of which was for one of the departments of the Institute. For many of the articles in this series we are greatly indebted to members of the faculty. Editorially we have endeavored to deal fairly and impartially with such problems as came before the student. As a newspaper we have given reported accounts of the various happenings—athletic, social and musical, coming into the student life. We have conducted an Alumni Department, and under “College Items and Exchange,” we have given notes of interesting happenings at other colleges. Along artistic lines we have sought to add attractiveness to the paper by means of various illustrations, color plates, and a new cover design with each issue. Altogether we have put increased effort and expense in the make-up and publishing of The Fulcrum, first that we might produce a paper of technical excellence in itself, and second that it might be a paper truly representative of Armour Institute, both College and Academy. Thus have we endeavored, and the hearty reception that our efforts have received, from both faculty and students, assures us that we have suc- ceeded. To-what degree we have succeeded is not for us to say. We merely point to Volume VIII of The Fulcrum and allow it to speak for itself. 66 H. Ralph Badger.

On arriving, however, the guests found Hugo Goetz already enjoying himself, and proceeded to mingle in. The hall was taste- fully decorated with the red and white banners of the fraternity; the floor was fine, and the music superb, and all these added to the enjoyment of the limited number who were privileged to attend. When at last the arrival of the “ wee, sma’ ” forced the dancers to leave Hugo again alone in his glory, it was not mere politeness that made all declare that they had had a good time. 6() cIhz Radical Opera SINCE the Radical Opera is well described on pages 151-157 of this book, no further description is necessary here. HE ’06 Radies have executed so many live stunts, and have held up their end of the joyous Armour life so well, that some mention of them is not out of place, although a detailed account is not necessary. They have smoked at Hiller’s, Ellett’s, Levings’ and Pierce’s in the last year and dined at the College Inn and the Baltimore besides attending the regular Radic functions in a body. “If you want a thing well done, let the ’06 Radies do it.” ‘The 06 Radies 170 cIke Freshman Handshake THE Y. M. C. A. followed their well established and very pleasant custom last year and gave us an opportunity to swap signatures with the Freshmen and the Faculty on September 80. A musical program was rendered by Mr. Leigh, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Dick, the ’05 Trio and Mr. Krum; and Dr. Gunsaulus, Dr. Colledge, Mr. Foster and Mr. McLean spoke. After the program, light refreshments and non-intoxicating beverages were served. The fraternities made hay all the time the lights shone, and took quite a number of the Freshmen over to smokers when the handshake broke up, which it did after the refreshments had disappeared. '7' ‘The Freshman Smoker THE Annual Freshman Smoker, held November 4 this year, started with a yell and ended with a roar. The latter was long drawn out, as there was no definite time of ending. Both yells and roars were freely interspersed throughout the program, which was varied somewhat from those of previous years. The opening address was by Dr. Gunsaulus, who was followed by the Orchestra, which gave a well received number. Each of the Deans then spoke to us, and next came a selection by the Mandolin Club. Mr. Swager and Mr. Warren then gave us some fine clogging and rag- time. Remember “ Navaho”? Our own Moffat was called on unexpectedly for a cornet solo, and responded with some double or triple or multiple tonguing or whatever it was. Mr. Del more gave a clever character mono- logue. The Orchestra followed him, and then Professor Coffeen renewed the life of his famous cheese story, and sprung a few new ones. Next came the Mandolin Club, Frary of the Freshmen, Rochlitz and Risley in order. The Orchestra then closed the program with a third number. The conduct of the whole affair was very creditable to the committee, especially to Chairman deBeer. The Sophs played a little game in the rear of the hall called “ lobster.” Many of the faculty were drawn in and initiated by members of the club, and seemed to enjoy it after it was all over. Many of the Freshmen took their nerve in their hands and tackled a brand new pipe filled with strong tobacco, which they soon found was not the way to learn to smoke. Quite a few of the “ex’s” and alumni were present and kept the genial dispenser of the amber fluid below stairs busy. Nobody was killed or even seriously injured during the performance and the general good manners of the bunch furnished a guarantee that we will be able to get the hall again next year, unless we wish and can secure a larger one. 172 The Senior Dance TO THE joyous strains of Lawrence’s Orchestra, about seventy-five couples tripped the light fantastic toe, and occasionally themselves, at the Forum on December 2, when the Senior dance was held. The weather man had provided an exceptional evening—an exception from the usual good weather at that time of the year—and the crowd was an ex- ceptionally jolly one. Altogether the dancers had an exceptionally good time. Kretz furnished the idea for the programs, which were accordingly very tasty. The Committee, Kretzinger, Carroll and Durr spread them- selves to make the dance a success, and succeeded even better than they had anticipated. The decorations were small and unique, and a box of Nabisco Wafers discovered in the hall made very pleasing refreshments. The dance was one of the last affairs, if not the last, that Kretz took part in before deciding to sever his connection with the school, and as such should be remembered by all loyal sons of ’05. 173 Academy Football Dance THROUGH some inadvertence, the members of the Academy football team arranged to give a dance on the same night as the Senior dance, December 2d. Naturally all the College men attended the Senior dance and all the Academy men the football dance. It made no great difference, however, and the football dance drew a good crowd. The hall of the Unity Club looked very pretty, decorated as it was in the Academy colors, blue and gold. Dancing started about nine o’clock and continued until 12:30, when supper was served. After supper the dancing continued until about 1:30, and then the merry party broke up. All of the football men who had been kept out of the game by injuries found that they had recovered sufficiently to dance, and took an active part in the affair. It was afterward commented on by some of the Seniors that the Academy “ kids” showed more of a tendency to late hours than they did, their dance having been over by 1:00. However, everyone enjoyed themselves, so that there is no complaint to be made. 174 cHie Alumni Banquets THE Alumni Association holds two regular banquets each year—one in June, when the graduating Seniors are greeted, and one in Decem- ber, which is the annual Christmas re-union. The June banquet was on June 20 last year, and the December one on December 27. No particulars are available about the former, but it was certainly an enthusiastic Armour affair, especially as the Class of ’04 was then enrolled. The December banquet was held at the Albion, and was attended by about forty members of the association. A good banquet was of course stowed away by the “ancients,” and then the “real” (?) business of the evening, the toast list, proceeded with. This was unusually good at this banquet, as President Tarbell was in the chair, and W. T. Dean was Master of Ceremonies. The next banquet of the association will be to welcome the Class of '05. ns ‘The Senior Smoker THE Seniors started a very commendable custom on February 3 by giving themselves a smoker. Also, they very cordially invited the Faculty Club, forgetting that the entire faculty did not belong to the club. The whole Senior class was there, as well as the aforementioned members of the Faculty Club, and everyone smoked except Jimmy Marshall, who was afraid he would ruin his matchless voice for the concert a week later. It might have been also because he don’t use the filthy weed. However, Jimmy more than made up for it when the food was passed, although pressed hard for first place by a number of the fellows. The lunch room was decorated almost as well as the Forum had been for the Senior dance, but no one seemed to miss that part. The stirring eloquence of the speakers called forth rounds of cheers, and the Seniors all felt that they had not had sufficient time for self-congratulation when they broke up some time between 12:00 and 2:00. n cTke Concerts THE Glee and Mandolin Clubs have arisen from the dead this year, and are more or less fully discussed on pages 146-149. It is sufficient to state here that the home concert on February 10th was a decided success. The clubs journeyed to Ottawa on the 17th of March and to Ravenswood cn the 14th of April. Plans are under way for a concert at Waukegan May 5th and another home concert will be given May 19th in the Mission. The latter will be at least as good as the first one and should be even better attended. '77 'The Radical Banquets THE Radical Banquets are very important and interesting to the members of the club, but the only interest they have for outsiders is when they (the outsiders) hear some of the happenings. These are always decidedly interesting. There have been two important feeds this year, the pig at Ellett’s and the initiation banquet at the Albion, or the Pullman, or the Tip-Top Inn. whichever it may be. Tom said it was all right when we threw nuts at Gentle Gene in the case of the pig, and it was in Tom’s base- ment, so it was all right. Gene found no more peanuts, though. The initia- tion banquet was remarkable for the unanimous attendance of the Fresh- men and the decimated appearance of the Seniors. The grub was good, the cigars were good, the speeches were good, the Sophomores (except Cornie) were good, and the whole time was good. It was even rumored that after the banquet some of the fellows played a good hand of poker, but this cannot be verified. Tom arrived soon enough to show that he could buy ginger ale for Teddie from the proceeds of his new job, and the real “ Piggie ” came in just late enough to say “ It’s all right ” with the rest of us as we left the hall. 178 cHxc Freshman Dance THE committee and twenty-two other Freshmen attended the Annual Freshman Dance. The committee, Pegues, Odell and Townsend, worked hard and faithfully to make the dance a success, even going so far as to extend financial aid to the class to pay for it. Their part was well done—the Colonial Club is one of the best halls in the city, Ballou’s Orchestra of eight pieces furnished fine music, and the programs were decidedly neat. The only trouble with the dance was the lack of Freshmen. By actual count, the Sophomores present outnumbered the Freshmen, and the Juniors and Seniors were not far behind. It was right and proper, considering the attendance of the Freshmen, that the dance should be a financial failure, but it is not right that the committee and the few members of the class who are not ossified should be made to bear the burden. It is a shame that those so young in Armour affairs should show such tame spirit, and it is to be hoped that when the class give their Sophomore dance they will make it as much of a success in all ways as their Freshman dance was in a few. 179 The J unior Dance AFTER long and serious discussion in class meetings, the Juniors decided that the fellows here run more to overalls than to dress suits, and that there were not enough of the latter in Tech to warrant the giving of a formal party, so an informal dance was given. The committee, Wilson, Rockwell and Carr, secured the Forum for the evening of March 3, and Goldsmith’s Orchestra of five pieces to furnish the music. The floor, of course, was in good condition, and the blue and gold decorations were quite noticeable. Wilson said the programs were the best he had ever seen, and he ought to know. Sixty couple attended, and made merry until 1:00, when they declared the evening well spent. Sufficient evidence of the financial success is furnished by the fact that Rockwell was able to quit school about a week later and form an alliance with the Chicago Edison Company. Tke Radical Dance THE Radical Dance this year was rather an innovation, in that it was an invitation dance. Judging from the attendance of last year, it was figured that there would be over two hundred couple at this dance, and it would be necessary to get a very large hall, probably one down town. It was therefore decided that the number of tickets should be limited. The Colonial Club being already engaged for April 7, the Waupan- seh Club hall and parlors were finally secured by a special dispensation of the club directors. One hundred and twenty-five tickets were issued and all sold, comfortably filling the hall. The dance more than fulfilled the antici- pations of those who attended, and enhanced the fame of the Radies as splendid entertainers. Practically all the Radic Alumni in the city were there, and the committee received many expressions of regret from those out of town. Goldsmith furnished the best kind of music, and the large parlors of the club allowed many cosy corner opportunities for those who decided that they did not want to dance. 8 1904 Sept. 20th.

HILUS Photo by Walinger Our New Athletics SEPTEMBER 20, 1904, was a significant day in the athletic situation at Armour. On that date Ogden Field was formally opened. The acceptance of Mr. Armour’s latest gift made it incumbent on the Institute to thoroughly reorganize athletics and bring them on a plane where there would be no uncertainty about them. The new field brought with it obligations on the school to see that athletics prospered. On this account, there was an entire revision of the Athletic Board, and the rules of the Athletic Association. Athletic control was made an Institute matter, and the organization of the Board included in the year book as part of the government of the Institute. In order that there might be sufficient funds for the supporting of the various teams in the manner demanded by the new regime, a fee of one dollar per term was added to the regular tuition as an athletic deposit. Having thus sufficient money at their disposal, the Athletic Board, or more properly speaking, the Board of Athletic Control, was enabled to furnish coaches for all the teams, and to provide materials for them in a manner entirely unprecedented at the Institute. When the field was first constructed, a football gridiron and a five lap running track were put in it, and plans were started in the winter term for the construc- tion of a baseball diamond. That the students thoroughly appreciate the work of the Athletic Board is shown by the increase in the number of candidates for the various teams. This year is of course an experimental year, and the Athletic Board is learning many things about the management of College Athletics. The students also are learning, and it seems not improbable that in a few years Armour will assume the position in Western College Athletics to which her name and fame rightly entitle her. 86 Tholo hy Prof. Phillip BA5EBALL THE manager of the baseball team of 1904 made a very material advance toward pulling the team out of the ruts of previous years. Mr. Armstrong came to a very proper conclusion that the team of a school of Armour’s standing should not con- fine their attention to teams of high schools and business houses, and accordingly ar- ranged his schedule to include games with quite a few of the minor colleges in the neighborhood of the city, and attempted to schedule games with the members of the “ Big Nine. ” Of these, he could only arrange to play Chicago and Illinois, but even this was a great advance over the schedule of the previous years. With such an advance in the quality of teams played, it could hardly be expected that the team could win as many games as it had the season before, but it was not only this change that caused the fellows to lose the first five games played. It was mainly because they did not get into the game and play the ball they were capable of playing. It is true that only four candidates of promise were left after the Dean’s office had finished with the eligible list. It is true also, that this necessitated constant shifts of the players to new positions, breaking up the team work, and that the team had no coach 88 and but little time to practice. Nevertheless, the way the team played ball a little later showed that the fellows had it in them to put up a good game. This year the manager has arranged a good schedule, and the team has elected an energetic captain. There will be a diamond in Ogden Field, and “ Jimmy ” Cook, of Illinois, will coach the team. Some of the old men are back, and there are a few good new men, but on the whole the material this year is not very good. Games have been scheduled with Chicago, Illinois and Northwestern Universities and with Culver, St. Viateur’s and Northwestern Colleges. Michigan, Notre Dame, Oberlin, Beloit, Indiana and Wheaton have been asked for games. The great need in this department is support from the students. The faculty has given its support most loyally, which has made our debut into higher athletics possible. If we will all take hold and boost Armour into the front rank of secondary colleges we will be in a position to raise our standard to that of the “ Big Nine.” Then we can boast that our “ Alma Mater ” is in the front rank both in science and in athletics.

The plan was highly successful, and from one to five o’clock of May 27, ’04, the American League Ball Grounds were filled with a howling mob of rooters. The costumes, playing and mannerisms of the participants were provocative of not a little good natured joshing. Among the many celebrities were “The White Crow,” “Malta Vita Did It,” “The Illinois Flat Foot,” etc. The Freshman-Sophomore game was played first, and resulted in an overwhelming victory for ’06, which showed the effects of their regular practice. ’07 did not seem to know the object of the game, their antics around second base being especially funny. The final score was 18 to 3.

With a new track and field at our disposal, together with hearty support from the faculty and students, we have a bright outlook for a successful season. We have been very fortunate in securing Charles E. Dvorak, the world’s champion pole-vaulter as our coach.

'93 'The 1904 Academy Track Team THIRTY candidates reported for the try-out meet of the Academy track team last spring, and from these the following squad was chosen : Junge, captain; True, Smith, Bristol, Cook, McCarthy, Betties, McCausland, Flanagan, Stanton, Sonntag and Rice. Sonntag was manager of the team, but was able to secure only three meets, these being with South Division High School, Lake View High School, and the Inter- Academic meet. The reason given for the usual failure of the meets is the very good one, that there was no place to hold them, and practically no place to train. The First Regiment Armory was opened for training, but not for meets. The U. of C. gymnasium was open for a while, but soon after the South Division meet, which was held there, it was closed to all preparatory schools. In spite of these disadvantages, the team made a fairly good showing. The meet with South Division, the first one of the year, was won by the score of 52 to 35, Armour taking first place in all events but the fifty yard dash, the low hurdles and the mile run. The men who did the best work were Smith, Bristol, Betties, McCausland and True. The meet with Lake View was lost because a number of men in the weight events and the dashes did not compete, practically forfeiting their events. In the Inter-Academic meet, the Academy made the best showing it has ever made, having a total of twelve points. These are due to Smith, 1 first; Trinkaus, 1 second ; Cook, 3 thirds ; and Betties, 1 third. With the new track, giving a chance to train and to hold meets, and with a coach, it is almost certain that Armour Academy can take the posi- tion in Academy track athletics to which she is entitled, but which she has never held. ?y THE college football season of 1904 was fully as successful as could well be expected under the circumstances. There had been no team in 1903, and consequently the new material required considerable elementary work, and was correspondingly longer in putting up a finished game. On the basis of games won and lost, the season was an even break. The first game was tied, then three were lost by close scores, and then three were won. The scores show a balance well in Armour’s favor, and a con- stant improvement. The season was started by a practice game with Englewood High School, which, as stated, was a tie, the score being 5 to 5. The week following, the team played Northwestern College, which had held Illinois down to 11 to 0. It was their overwhelming advantage of brawn which alone beat us, 12 to 0, as they averaged over twenty pounds more to the man. This hard game bruised up the team considerably, and we were in poor condition when we met Lake Forest only four days later on their own grounds. Here we were defeated 6 to 0 in a very slow game. Ten days later, at Culver, we were nosed out of a victory by a narrow score. Three excellent opportunities to profit by kicks failed of result, and Culver won, 6 to 5. There the hoodoo left us. On our own grounds we defeated the American College of Medicine and Surgery 11 to 5, and the Woodlawn Country Club 11 to 0. Then, as a fitting finish, we trod on the Northwestern Medics to the tune of 15 to 0. 95 The S eason s R ecorc October 8. A. I. October 15. A. I. October 19. A. I. October 29. A. I. November 5. A. I.

Photo by Walingrr THE following plots show graphically the ups and downs of the team. The solid line shows the scores of Armour, the dotted line those of the opponents, and the double line shows the algebraic sum of the scores, con- sidering Armour’s as positive and the opponents as negative. The upward trend of this last line shows the consistent improvement made by the team. Had the second game not been against opponents so much heavier than we were, we would surely have won the next two, as the teams we played then were in no way superior to the last three we played.

When the team first started out to practice, there was enough ma- terial to make a strong team, and, with a coach, there was certainly a good chance of getting it. Favoritism soon showed, however, the coach lost interest in the team, and the players lost interest in the game, so that before the season was very far advanced, the team was shattered. Team work was of course impossible under these circumstances. The team played seven games during the season, winning only the first one of the series. Nearly all the players were in the game merely for what they could get out of it, and with such spirit it is no wonder that the team made such a poor showing. A few of the men stuck to the team faithfully and worked hard for it, and they should be highly commended, but as for the rest well, the less said, the better. Let us hope that next year the Academy students will show more real spirit. The Schedule: October 5. October 12. October 19. November 2. November 5. November 12. November 16. A. S.

The Sophomores knew what the game meant, and practiced for it, but the Freshmen did not, and worked when they felt like it. Consequently they had neither the physical condition nor the team work of the Sophomores when the two teams met. The inevitable result followed. The Sophomores won 6 to 0, and although their scoring was not easy, their own goal was not in danger at any period of the game. Through- out practically the entire game, the ball was in Freshman territory, and the Freshmen had to work hard to defend their goal. At times, however the Freshmen showed that they did have some idea of football, and played the Sophs to a standstill, but such flashes of brilliancy were rare. The Sopho- mores really earned 12 points instead of 6, as they had the ball on the line when time was called. On the side lines, too, the Sophomores carried off most of the honors. Their cheering was more consistent, and in the few slight rumpuses which occurred, they managed to more than hold their own against the Freshmen. The day was rather cold, which necessitated fires being built, and several Indian war-dances were executed around these. Compared with the two previous games, however, the whole affair was tame.

The first week in October saw the squad out on the track taking long runs for endurance, followed by a half hour’s practice in the gym. This continued until cold weather prevented, when the full hour was devoted, indoors, to passing, basket throwing and general team practice. The number of candidates was small, but hard work by the few showed results when West Side Y. M. C. A. was held 22 to 16 on their own floor—a very promising start. But with the schedule just begun, the team received a blow from which it did not recover, in the loss of Kretzinger, right guard, who left school at Christmas. His position was filled by three different men, Rockwell. Davies and Kilgore—Davies receiving the preference for a majority of the games, though superseded by Kilgore toward the end of the season. The rest of the team remained intact, however, and contained no new faces. Carpenter, the captain and right forward, found an able team mate in Leininger, who covered left forward and will be remembered as one of last year’s guards. The jump-off was well taken care of by Johnson, while Liebermann, the manager and left defense man, needs no introduction at Armour. Miller served in both forward and guard positions, although only in the first part of the season. Shortly after the West Side game, Naperville was beaten 31 to 26. Beloit won from Armour by a narrow margin, Carpenter being kept out of the game by a dislocated knee. Then Lake Forest was beaten a few days later 54-24. Passing a few unimportant games, we notice that for the first time in three years the yellow and black was downed by Lewis, and the season would have had a gloomy close had not a rally of swift team work and clever basket throwing held Central Y. M. C. A., the western champions, to a score of 32 to 21—certainly a praiseworthy finish for a hitherto weak team. 20J The year’s work has demonstrated clearly a number of facts:— 1. If Armour is to maintain its high basket-ball standing, more large men must be available. A team composed of small men, no matter how fast they may become, cannot hope to compete successfully with present day teams. 2. The entire school must contribute, and not leave one class (’06) to furnish, with one exception, the whole team. 3. A good coach should be secured whose business is basket-ball and who knows his business. Give us these three things, and next year’s team will be a winner. Schedule of Games: Dec. 3 A. I.

They played eleven games and won every one of them, almost equaling the record of the famous “ point a minute ” team of some years ago. Mr. Bristol made an excellent captain, and ran the team very well, always doing his share of the work. Edelstein was the star forward, although Urson pressed him hard for first place. Every man on the team played good ball, and the team work was much better than is usually expected from an Academy or high school team. The, Sched ule: A. S. A., 39; Wendell Phillips, 25 A. S.

For several years there had been haphazard bowling matches, when in the spring of 1903, representatives of the four classes got together and organized the first regular tournament. This was a great success, the classes turning out fairly well as rooters, especially the men of ’06, whose team walked away with the cup. Last year, the Seniors, ’04, won first place by a magnificent finish, and this year the honors went to ’07. Hitherto, we have been deemed too youthful and innocent a bunch to be allowed to hold our tournaments where the night is brightened by the inter- mittent flashes of the colored signs, but this year, the tournament was allowed, by special permission, to be rolled at the Schiller. Here we had good alleys, fairly good balls, and speedy pin boys—speedy when they weren’t too tired. The tournament started Saturday, January 21st, and ran through the better part of February, ending on the 18th. All the way through it was the most hotly contested tournament so far in the history of bowling, between the two leaders at least. From the first, the Seniors had very little chance of winning the cups, and it soon became an impossibility for them to do so. They stuck to the game, however, and showed true sporting blood in playing where they had no chance to win. The Freshmen, too, cut little figure in the championship possibilities, except as they were able to take games from the Juniors, and so boost the Sophomores. The Juniors started out with a big lead, and seemed almost certain of winning, but the Sophomores, taking advantage of all of their opportunities, and the occasional poor bowling of the Juniors, managed to win out in the last series, by taking all the games from their opponents. If the Juniors had won two of their last six games, instead of losing all six of them, they would have won the tournament. The Sophomores, however, deserved to 208 win, and also should get a good deal of credit for the way in which they kept plugging. None of the high scores of last year were raised, but the general showing of the teams was better, and the tournament as a whole was very satisfactory.

Professor Tisdel is pre-eminently the man for the place. The University of Wyoming is a young and growing institution, and Professor Tisdel has the executive ability, the strength of character, and the “ push ” to bring it in the foremost rank of Western Universities. Those students who had the privilege of working under the guidance of Professor Tisdel know his sterling worth, and can fully appreciate the loss which the Institute has sustained. The officers of the Institute did not like to see Professor Tisdel go any more than the students, but the whole Insti- tute unites in congratulating Professor Tisdel on his appointment, and the University of Wyoming on securing such a man for their president. The following extract is from the “ Wyoming School Journal ” for Jan- uary, 1905: “Frederick Monroe Tisdel was elected president of the Univer- sity at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees last July. Though not a native of Wyoming, he came to the State at three years of age, his parents having moved there largely on account of the climate. His father was for many years assistant superintendent of the coal department of the Union Pacific, and the family resided at Rock Springs. After completing the course of study in the Rock Springs school, the boy was sent to the North- western Academy at Evanston, Illinois, and later to the Northwestern Uni- versity. He was graduated from Northwestern with the degree of A.B. in 1891, receiving, at the same time, a diploma from the Northwestern School of Oratory. In the fall of the same year, he began his career as a teacher in the faculty of the University of Wisconsin, which, two years later, con- ferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. In the fall of 1893 he resigned his position for the purpose of doing graduate work at Harvard University. After two years of study at Harvard, he was appointed Asso- ciate Professor at Oberlin College, where he remained for three years, and then returned to Harvard to complete his studies. At Harvard he was elected to a Morgan Fellowship, and in 1900 the degree of Doctor of Philos- ophy was conferred upon him. In the fall of 1900 he accepted a position as Professor and head of the department of English at Armour Institute of Technology, and remained there until he was called to the Presidency of the University of Wyoming.” Professor Tisdel was born at Belvidere, Illinois, January 7, 1869. 2 J Editorials Further Acknowledgments. THE editors desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Walter S. Louderbach, Miss A. J. Ward, and Miss Sarah Mack, beside those artists to whom acknowledgment has already been made. Their work was received after the first form had been set up, so that the addition of their names could not be made. To Mr. Carl Werntz, of the Academy of Fine Arts, we are especially grateful, as he enabled us to secure much work from the students of his school. Practically all the photographs, including those of the Seniors, were made by Walinger. Editorials are fully as often knocks as they are boosts, which gives authority for this one. As fellows, we rather like most of the Armour students, but as helpers and assistants well, the compositor being a gentle- man cannot set up what we think, and we being gentlemen, cannot think it. To get out a book like this is a job, as we have said a good many times to our friends. There are eight men now in the school who really appreciate this fact, and they are the present board, and that of last year. Of these eight, the editors are the only ones who know what “Integrating” till two o’clock every night for a couple of weeks means, and they are the only ones who appreciate how much assistance a man can give—if he will. We recollect having asked six men in one day to do something for us, and giving ideas to four of them. We recall that all of them promised faithfully to write some- thing for us inside of a week, and we have no difficulty in remembering that we are still waiting for their copy. That is what makes the editor’s hair gray. We claim, and can prove, that of the 288 pages in this book, not more than thirty-five, excepting of course, drawings and ads, were fur- nished by men not on the board, and of these thirty-five, about fifteen were given to us by men 7iot now in school. “Well,” you say, “what is the editor for?” The opinion of the school is evident, but is it the proper one? It is perfectly true that one or two men can make a book. It has been done, and will probably be done again, although for the sake of those who follow us, we hope not. But most certainly it is not right. On our bended knees, we beseech you to help the editor of next year’s Integral. Poor devil, he will need it. 214 The Integral this year offered over fifty dollars in prizes for all kinds of work, and called for copy by February 15th. The date came, but entirely unaccompanied by any contributions. About a week later, one man came to us with a handful of josh material, and asked if it were too late. We embraced him. It was the first copy we had seen. As it happened, it was also the last submitted in the competition, and we were unable to use any of that. Now, there are plenty of men in the school who have ability, so there remained but one natural conclusion Armour men did not want money. We therefore revised our prize list, offering it all for art work, and sent it to schools not connected with Armour. The results were very gratifying, but there were no prizes awarded to Armour students. Apropos of the date when copy was to be turned in, we submit the following: At the beginning of the Winter term, we asked that all copy be handed to us by February 15th. On February 24th we received the first, and by constant begging, succeeded in getting most of the stuff by March 20th. This was all, however, of a serious nature. The very few lighter things we received came between then and April 12th, when the last was handed to us. Although nearly two months after our date for copy, we blessed the giver, at the same time cursing him because he did not give more. Can you wonder that we got mad when you asked, “When’s the Integral coming out? ” Many will probably say that we copied previous Integrals. We deny the imputation. We followed their general plan, but we think we have improved on it in many ways. The decision to follow the plan used came after a study of college annuals extending over a month and a half, and embracing about forty annuals from fifteen different colleges and univer- sities. During the study, we found that each publication had its own dis- tinctive style, developed gradually, and followed each year by the editors. The adoption of this idea accounts for the similarity in outline between this and last year’s, and in fact all the previous years’ Integrals. Beyond this, we think that no comment is necessary. We have done our best. 215 Cljarlcs e. pan cll In the death of Charles E. Yandell the school lost a good student and a brilliant young mind. He was born in St. Louis, February 3, 1886 and died of peritonitis, at the West Side Hospital, October 5, 1904, at the age of nineteen years. When he was still quite young his parents moved to Chicago, and he attended the Marquette School, from which he graduated at the age of thirteen years. He started at the English High School the following fall, and graduated there in June, 1902, entering Armour in the September after his graduation. He was a member of the Third Presbyterian Church, and had the enviable record of not having missed a day at Sunday School for five years. He was always active in church work, and was a prominent member of the West Side Y. M. C. A. He was a good athlete, and played for several years on the “Midget” basketball team of the Y. M. C. A. His size alone prevented him from playing on the Institute team, as his ability was unquestioned. Yandell s circle of friends at the Institute was not large, but he was very dear to those with whom he was associated, and his death was a severe blow to them. The Junior class sent flowers and resolutions of condolence to his parents, but these formal expressions of sympathy could not convey the real feelings of the ones who knew “ Charlie,” for those who knew him best liked him best. 217 s Ckemical Engineering Fash, R.

It so happened that in his Junior year, He was inflicted with that most terrible of all woes, an 8:30 class every morning, and it also hap- pened that in going to and from the car line He had to pass a certain flat building, which struggled under the euphonious name of “ Irma.” Now, some time during the summer previous to His Junior year, He had attended a performance of “Babes in Toy land,” and having a musical ear (He sang in the Glee Club), He was struck with the “Toyland ” song. It might be added in this connection, that, having also an eye for beauty, He was as much struck by the beauty of the singer as by the song. However this may be, there is one certain fact, and that is, that He adopted the song as His own, and whistled it on all occasions. So much for the preliminaries. It came to pass that in the early part of September a new family moved into the “ Irma ” and were firmly estab- lished when He began His regular morning journey to the street car line. On several successive mornings as He went by the newly occupied flat He noticed that some vigorous personage in it was performing runs, scales, and arpeggios on a clear toned piano in a manner which indicated at least a desire to learn. Not being particularly keen for this sort of amusement, and being still rather fond of “Toyland,” He started to whistle it in com- petition, on the fourth morning of the practice. He was very particular to put in all the trills and quavers that he knew, in order to show there was no hard feeling, and flattered himself that He made a very good job of it. The same program occurred for nearly a week. He whistling “Toyland,” and the personage at the piano playing the scales. Then, one morning, the scales suddenly stopped, and He caught a fleeting vision of a girl looking out of the window. After that the personage became She. Time passed, and every morning as He came into view, the piano stopped for an instant, and then began again—with “Toyland.” On His part, the trills and quavers became more numerous with constant practice, so that, to His mind at least, the duet became very pleasing. Winter wore on, and still the duet continued. He did not even try to change the tune, 221 and She evidently had no intention of forgetting Her part. One thing only worried him She of course knew him well, by sight, at least, while He had not yet caught a glimpse of Her, and He spent many an hour when He should have been studying Mechanics thinking how He could meet Her. For the duet had affected him deeply. The Senior Dance came along, December 2nd, and of course He was there. Fondly imagining that He could dance, He brought a young lady whom He thought could dance very well, and was willing to have her pro- gram monopolized. Of course, He let a few dances go to intimate friends, but only when He knew that He would thus secure a good dancer, and His partner would do the same. Consequently, when Billy came around and wanted to swap the ninth dance, because, he said, his partner especially wanted to dance with Him, He had to consult some time with His partner before deciding to swap. Even then, it was more a concession to Billy and Vanity than because He thought that He would enjoy the dance. He did not meet Billy’s partner until the ninth dance, and was quite agreeably surprised, because He knew that Billy was not a good dancer and thought that he would have a partner to match. The orchestra had just started to play “Toyland,” and His first disappointment at missing a good dance soon vanished when He found that His favorite waltz was to be with such a good dancer and good looking girl as Billy’s partner proved to be. “ Do you know,” He said, by way of starting things, “That this is my favorite piece.” “ Yes,” she said, “It’s mine, too.” “Gee,” He thought, “She’s got a nice voice. I pretty near like this. But how does she know about my favorite piece.” “ Do you know,” she continued, “I learned it from an Armour boy who whistled it to me,”—she was looking up at him and laughing,—“ and now he whistles it to me every time he—” “ You’re not the ‘Toyland’ girl, are you ?” He almost shouted, and both laughed when she answered, “Yes.” Billy didn’t take Her to the Glee Club Concert, or the Junior Dance. There was a new man in the race, and He was forever whistling “ Toyland. ” 222 TXeRomanceof theDisappointed Freshman WHEN the Freshman returned in the fall and started to make out his program, he found that he was still a Freshman. Being young, however, and having a sufficiency of worldly goods, as well as plenty of time, he was not worried, and allowed himself a goodly number of hours for “rest and recreation,” planning to finish up all his freshman work in the two years. Being fond of ease and luxury, the Freshman se- cured a third story room on Wabash, which had a nicely upholstered window seat in front, and soon became so enamoured of the combination of soft cushions and his pipe that he spent most of his study hours in that one spot. Naturally, having so many vacant periods, the Freshman was often vis- ible in his window seat, and he soon noticed a female face in the second story of the house across the street, which was on duty as much, or more than he was. After noticing the lady every day for a week, he made bold to wave his hand, and was duly elated when the signal was returned. From then on, he never sought his nook and pipe without glancing across the street to see if his “girl” as he familiarly spoke of her to visitors, was there, and greeting her with a wave. She always acknowledged his salute, and he grew to think himself quite intimate with her. It so happened that one day, a bright warm day in Indian summer, the Freshman felt in need of exercise. The young kids of the block were kicking a football about in the street below, so he went down and joined them. The day was so exceedingly pleasant that nearly all the windows in the neighborhood, including also those of the “girl ” across the street, were open. He saw her leaning on the window sill, and wished for some excuse to go up close and see what she looked like. Finally it came. Some one kicked the ball right under her window, and of course he started after it. He had to push over two youngsters to obtain the right to chase it, but that didn’t matter to him. He was under her window at last, and looked up. He saw only one thing her eyes. Then he grabbed the ball and ran. “ Whew,” he murmured as he ran, “She is so cross-eyed she could look into her own eyes without any trouble.” City— “ Why are you beating that cow so? ” Country “Ma’s going to have company and she wants some whipped cream.” 22.

ROCKEFELLERi ARMOUR TO JOIN THEIR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS. It was definitely announced yesterday to a special reporter of the Assassin that Armour’s Institute, the preparatory school for the packing house, and the University of Chicago, John D. Rockefeller’s private institution, had finally fixed upon terms of consolidation. This is regarded among labor leaders as the last step in finally crushing the Unions. The workingmen are powerless in the mercenary grasp of the huge corporations, but they can and will fight such a union to the bitter end. The terms of consolidation have not been announced as yet, but it is gener- ally understood that Mr. Armour drove one of his customary hard bargains. It is rumored that the terms are as fol- lows: The University of Chicago is to pay $4,000,000 for the present buildings and grounds of the Armour Institute. They will also put up a $10,000,000 building on the golf links of Jackson Park for the use of the school. The In- stitute will still be the property of Mr. Armour, who is to receive a yearly sal- ary of $500,000 for the use of his name in connection with the school. The Uni- versity agrees to double the present equipment of the Institute, which is already the largest in the country, and will guarantee an attendance of 1,000 for the first year of the affiliation. Furthermore, the Institute will still use their own letter heads, while the Uni- versity of course will have to have new stationery announcing its affiliation. In return for the above, the Institute allows the University to make free use of its name, stating always that the University is an affiliated institution. Several changes will be made in the government of the Institute. It will continue to allow the students to smoke and wear their hats in the halls and class rooms. This is not allowed at the | University on account of the co-eds. The University will begin new janitor service at the Institute, washing the windows at least once a week, and scrubbing the whole building thoroughly every night. This will be a decided im- provement. The tuition fee is to be raised to $120 per term, and the labora- 22Q tory fees to $25. Each student must pay an athletic deposit of $5 per term, out of which the President of the Ath- letic Board will be paid a salary of $5,000 per year, and the shop deposits will be $10 per term. Students will be required to buy all their supplies at the Regis- trar's office, at an increase of 14 per cent over the prices obtainable else- where. Every student will be requiret! to carry at least 42 hours per week actual work. There will be recitations on Saturday as on other week days, and special laboratory sections will be held on Sunday. Students will, however, be excused from the latter to attend Cen- tral Church. Six hours per week refer- ence work in the library will be required and attendance will be marked there as elsewhere. Laboratory reports must be handed in two days after the experi- ment is performed, and must contain an affidavit showing that at least 15 hours have been spent on them. Each student will be required to take four laboratory periods each week. Quizzes will be held every second period in every subject, and these will count 90 per cent of the final grade. Attendance, recitations, problems, and the final examination will make up the other ten per cent. The “good behavior” pledge which the students now sign will be made more stringent, making it a criminal offense to even look at a glass of beer, and a civil crime to call on any young lady twice in the same week. Members of the faculty, of course, will not have to sign this pledge. These changes will cause the students some slight inconvenience, and in order to compensate them for this, a new Student’s Club, similar to the present Faculty Club is to be built. It will front on the South Pond, where all kinds of boats will be at the disposal of the members. Meals will be served by Kinsley at a merely nominal cost. The clubhouse will be luxuriously furnished and all the favorite brands of smoking tobacco will always be on the tables. Cards, poker chips, and magazines will be plentiful, and the latest novels will be on the shelves. Further than that, the club will have a large dance hall and theater, a fine gymnasium and a huge swimming tank. The billiard room will contain five billiard and seven pool tables, and there will be ten regulation bowling alleys in the basement. “I have achieved my ambition now, and shall do all in my power to make my new students happy,” said John D. Rockefeller yesterday. saw www mmm mm vmmm mmw mum | INTERVIEWS i Tiimiiiiiiiii mna amnia imimim mam ituus? “It has been my lifelong ambition to affiliate with the Armour Institute, and now that the munificence of Mr. Rocke- feller has made it possible, I am more than gratified. I shall interfere in no way with the work of the Institute, which I hold very highly, except per- haps in one particular. I have noticed that the young Armour engineers show a decided lack of Scriptural knowledge, and are extremely irreverent. I shall therefore endeavor to instill into them some of the piousness and reverence of my own divinity students.” WILLIAM R. HARPER. “ Present location of my Institute not good. Costs too much to expand. Good offer from John D. Rockefeller, so sold out. Don’t care much for Standard Oil, would rather have wheat myself. That’s all I have to say.” J. OGDEN ARMOUR. 2JO “I regard the combination of two such giant industrial Universities as one of the greatest possible menaces to the common people. I and my papers have done all that was possible to prevent such a union, but with the Republican party in power, and the present corrupt condition of the Senate, prevention was impossible. I hope, however, to soon be able to present to my readers a de- tailed account of the manner in which such a combination was effected. It will undoubtedly be of use in preventing any similar ones in the future.” WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. “Well, I guess we pretty near laid it over old U. of C. that time. They always tried to put through a big bluff, but we knew they didn’t fill on a two card draw, so it was dead easy to raise ’em off the board, especially when we were sitting back with a pat hand. Those fellows want to take a few les- sons before they try to crawl up on an Armour man.” PROMINENT ARMOUR STUDENT. “ I really do not know why President Harper and Mr. Rockefeller should be, to use a vulgar expression, so keen to affiliate with Armour. I suppose that it is a rather good engineering school, but in my personal opinion, the fellows who attend it are not really high class. They are very much addicted to the use of slang, and smoke strong, bad-smell- ing pipes, instead of nice, light cigar- ettes. They wear rough clothes, and really seem to enjoy getting dirty. 1 really cannot say that they appeal to me.” PROMINENT CHICAGO STUDENT. Biff I tell you the house was moved at his word.

De Porter on the Carr was an awful Sleeper, and didn’t Roush around to do nottin’ for us. We fought onse dere wus goin’ to be a Flood, and we’d have to Ford it, but we got to town safe, dough, and f ought it wus a Darling. De guys wus all Eager to go for de Beer, but de Fineman of de bunch Hurd ’em, so dey all had to Hoard dere money and stick to de Lemon. Some of de guys went to de Barber, an’ one went to de Banker to deposit his Fortune. De Clark of de hotel wus de Alderson of a Leddy, an’ a Meeker man I never met. He knew de guys wus good Walkers, so he put ’em on de top floor. Some luckless Wight had to go in by himself, an’ he says, “ 0 d’ell! I’d like to trun a Stone at him.” By dis time, de bunch wus Kean for supper, so we all flowed into de dining-room. De Steward of de hotel wus Green, an’ de Miller and de Baker of de town wus rotten, an’ de Cook wus poor, so de grub wus no good. De water come from some bum Wells near de town, and de chicken tasted like Crow. Some guy started to say Grace, but we couldn’t stand it and started Eaton. After supper, we got into our Klooz, an’ started for de Opera House. Every Singer wus feelin’ fine, an’ wanted to be de Bannerman. De clubs had bof had a good Trainor, an’ de Opera House wus small, so we t’ought we could Packer, but when de bunch saw de crowd dat wus dere, dey got wild and Wooley, and den Wilder, an’ wanted to Lynch de whole town. De main Berger of de town wus dere, an’ an old guy wit’ a Whitehead, who looked like a Farmer. De boys couldn’t Pierce de gloom of dat audience at all, but even at dat, de stage Car- penter said dat it wus a good show. Dey might a’ Dunmore if de Mandolin Club had had more pieces wit’ Bangs in ’em. One old gal wus dere wit’ her son, dat she called “Petty,” and when de Popp came in de “Good Little Boy” song, de small Fry yelled. Jimmy went out an’ says, “ Madam, Urson an’ his noise annoys us.” “ Oh, it doth, Douthitt ? ” she says, an’ she Anderson gets up an’ goes out- “ Dargan,” says Jimmy, “ I’d like to see Horlocked up.” De guys noticed dat de first tenor stood Twining his fingers ’round each other, and Starin at de box. Finally he went out an’ Conversed wit’ de goil. She wus too Young for me, dough. After de concert, some of de guys wanted to go to de Mick ball, but dey didn’t have no goils, so finally dey decided to Stagg it. Some of de Saner ones went to see de Parkes. De rest started to Hooper up an’ get Furry, so dey went to Dante’s Inferno, which looked more like Paradise to ’em den. Dey ran into an old chap who had met a cheap bunch on his way to town, an’ he t’ought dis wus de bunch. One of de guys started to buy a drink, an’ found dat he didn’t have enough money, so de old guy says, “ Dis Speers to me dat I met you on de fust Hill out of town, or maybe it wus a Hiller two farder on de Vey.” After dat dey started back to de hotel raising de dickens. De town Marshall came down on ’em, an' some of 'em stood still, but Moran. Dey all got back to de hotel safe, dough. Purty soon in comes a guy wit' a nose dat wus a Beamer. He started to yarn about his goil, an' when we jollied him, he says, “Ash all right -Hicks,—she's my Scharmer.” If de Deans could a' seen him den, dey would a' been in Doubt whether to lock him in a telephone Booth, or hang him on a Brackett to dry, ’cause he wus pretty well soaked. De way back wus uninterestin', but some of de guys felt like stickin' deir heads in a Pool. 235 In our exams 'tis ever thus, That he who'll pass without a fuss Is not the one who seems most able; ' Tis he who has the largest stable.

One of their leaders of late has been, “How do you write your weekly theme?” Well, how do I write my weekly theme? It is, at least, no trade secret. It’s a cinch. Ask any of the Profs if it isn’t. “ Pipe,” says one. “ Child’s play,” says the other. “ Nothing to it,” says the reader. The first thing to be considered is upon what the theme must be writ- ten. “ Invariably upon theme paper,” says the English Department. “Fif- teen cents per pad,” says the Registrar’s office—and there you have it, with no chance for original color effects. But with what subject must it deal? “That all depends,” says the English Department. “ On whom? ” “Well,” says the E. D., “your theme this week must bear more or less remotely upon one of the following subjects, to-wit: “ The use of cork legs in aerial navigation.” “ The effect of sun spots on the wheat market.” “ The classification of American breakfast foods.” “ How shall I treat it? ” I ask. “ As a joke?” “ Not on your life,” says the E. D. “ Wouldn’t you just as soon have some dope upon communal ragtime?” I ask. “ Don’t get gay,” says the E. D. “You will treat one of the above subjects in an expository manner in 450 words—no more, no less.” “ But,” I say, “ the library is deficient upon those topics.” “ Go down to the Public Library,” says the E. D. “I would, but the seventeenth place in Descript is due Friday, and I am liable to get canned out of the class if I default.” “We sympathize deeply with you,” says the E. D., “but our work must be done. Try the last topic.” I sit down in the quietude of my chamber and begin to think. What is expository writing? Newspaper style, I suppose. I get an American, and try to imitate the style, but it is too much. “ Any theme to be good, must have a proper headline,” says the E. D. I’ll try this : 30,000 BABIES KILLED BY IMPROPER FEEDING, “ Mrs. Ranter and Marion Havi- land agree that each year the above number of babies die from lack of proper diet.” First Paragraph. “We have it upon eminent authority that the baby teeth of the entire land are in a state of decay because of the prev- alent use of soggy breakfast foods. The evolutionists say that the way to make strong teeth is to feed them strong foods. “ Feed ’em Grape Nuts,” says the advertising man, seizing his opportunity. “ Not by a jugful,” responds Elbert Kubbard. “ Feed ’em Beesum, the new Battle Creek belly timber. Sold only in ten pound bales. Children cry for it.” “ And after it,” says the manufac- turer of Flaked Corncobs. But I am digressing. “ Classify them according to their effect on babies’ teeth. Make an outline,” says my conscience, and I start again. OUTLINE Introduction. Mrs. Ranter and Marion Haviland agree that the decay of baby teeth is due to the use of improper break- fast foods. Body. I. Effect of breakfast foods upon babies’ teeth (a) Before baby has any teeth. (b) After baby gets some. (c) After baby uses them. II. Anecdote. (a) Sad case where baby’s teeth became unduly sharp from eating “Grits.” (1) He bit his thumb off. (2) What mamma did when she came in. III. Plans of dentists for saving the teeth. (a) Pulling them before they are cut, and (b) Replacing them with sets of false. Conclusion. All breakfast foods are injurious to babies’ teeth. Teeth of future generations sadly impaired, unless corrective measures are adopted. When the theme comes back after about a week, it is beautifully hand illuminated. The reader says on it “ Verbose,” “ Revise,” “ Punk-tuation again,” “ Cult-ure not hyphenated.” ‘ ‘ Too brief, ’ ’ says he. “ Count ’em,” says I. “ Unity?” says he. “ No. Trinity,” says I, and he marks it “ D.” Not every one can get their original manuscripts illuminated so cheaply, though, which is a small consolation. M. T. Jones, Jr. cTlie Tale of the Nigger Barber SOME years ago, I spent the winter cruising about the coast of Florida. Being very fond of the water, and being in pleasant company, it is needless to say that I had a good time. However, when we were anchored off Lemon City one day, I announced my intention of getting shore leave, and purchasing a shave. The captain looked at me and laughed. “Don’t,” he said, “I did—once.” I scented a story, so said, “ Go on.” “ Well,” said he, “we blew in here one day from a two weeks’ cruise, and my chin whiskers were numerous, and of a fine healthy growth. I rolled ashore, and discovered two barber shops on the one street of the town. One didn’t look any better than the other, and I therefor entered the first one I came to. The barber was the blackest nigger I ever saw in my life, and I began to have qualms, and when he began to lather me with laundry soap, I knew that I had begun to climb the wrong tree. I let him go on, however, and he stropped his razor on the upper of a shoe. He took one swipe at my face, and got all of the whiskers, and most of the skin. ‘ Good Lord ! ’ I yelled, ‘ why don’t you hone that razor?’ “ ‘ Well, yo’ see boss ’ says the nigger, ‘ dat nig- gah barbah ’cross the street, him and me ust to be in partnership, an’ we done broke up, an’ when we was dissolutionized, I took the bresh and razah, an’ he done took de glass an’ whetrock, so’s I can’t sharpen mah razah no moh. ’ “I let him wipe the soap off my face and left. I found out afterward,” went on the captain with a twinkle in his eye, “that the old nigger was quite a character in the town. You know that most of the southern gentlemen are rather sallow, and their faces are rather hard to shave. They used to go to this nigger. He would put his thumb in their cheek, and hold it out while he shaved it with his other hand. It was all right until a new man came to town one day. Now this man was afflicted with a very thin skin. In due time he called at the nig- ger’s to get shaved. The barber put his thumb into the man’s cheek in the usual manner, but the man’s skin was so thin that he cut the end of his thumb off, and he has not shaved any one that way since.” 24O INTEGRAL BORED” Tke Long and tke Skort of it THE DEADLY PARALLEL The Large The Man The Small Feet COFFEEN Hair Goatish Tendency Morrison Intellect Religion Brubaker Profanity Smile Brock Himself Trousers Wanner Hat Nose Ellington Booze Capacity Gambling Proclivities Hebard Money he makes Push Kelkenney Pull Girth Kimmey Nothing small about him Appetite Walbridge Eyes The time he takes Allyn What he says Chances for Baskets Carpenter Baskets he makes What he thinks he knows Banning What he does know His Girl Collins Collins Brains Greifenhagen Brawn Cello Hayes Inches Last Year’s Editorials Wilson, W.

It was one day in a year, and so the meal was rather elaborate, including, among other things, a bottle of St. Julien, 72, of which the ladies, of course, did not partake. The ice cream was nearly finished when the Alumnus said. “Say, Kid, I could stand a Bock Panatella very nicely. How about you?” “Suits me,” said the Junior, and turning to his friend, he inquired, “May I have one?” knowing that she was rather keen on the tobacco question. “Why, I don’t care what you drink, just as long as you get me home safely. I don't want to take you home, though,” she said. “ Oh, I guess he can stand it,” said the Alumnus, winking at the Junior. “You see, I know his capacity. Waiter, bring us a couple of Bock Panatellas.” The cigars arrived, were calmly lit, and had been enjoyed for several minutes before the lady spoke again. “ Well, where are your Panatellas? It’s nearly two, and I want to get home.” “ We are enjoying our Panatellas very much,’’ said the Junior, blowing a beautiful ring. Then she came to. “Oh, you—,” but the Junior ducked, and came up, still “drinking his Panatella. 243 What They Say “X TONIN— “ I think before going on with the next chapter, we will have A a little discussion on the salary question. When you get out, when you graduate, you will goto a man and say, ‘I know my Mechanics, I know my Calculus, and I know my- my, and so forth. I want a job. I will take $2,000 per year to start.’ ‘Why,' he will say, ‘you don't know anything yet. You go and get a little experience and then come back to me and perhaps I will give you $900 per year.’ ‘O—oh,'you say, ‘$900 per year! Why, I couldn’t work for that! Why, I have to buy my clothes, and pay my board and room, and get cigars and tobacco, and go to the theater, and so forth, and so forth, and why, I simply couldn’t do it.’ But don’t you see that you will have to cut down on your theaters, and you will have to stay at home instead of going to the Freshman dance? Now, you should make out a budget at the beginning of each year, and you will be surprised how things count up. I did this one year,—” TTriLDER—sitting with his feet on the desk—to Miller: “ No, I can’t v v go down to have my picture taken to-day. I am very busy, very busy.

Do not throw away a half smoked cigarette when the Dean comes. It is not economical. Do not leave the drafting room before the Prof goes. He will probably leave to play golf about three anyway. Always say “Good morning” to the Profs, especially the Deans. Never hit an indicator with a hammer. It is liable to knock off some of the nickel plate. In order to be economical, use both sides and the edges of paper before throwing it away. Do not bring intoxicating beverages into the buildings, either externally or internally. Do not sign for material from the Chemical store room if you can pos- sibly avoid it. It is not considered etiquette to enter a saloon when a Prof is passing— without offering to take him in and buy him a drink. Never drop a surveying instrument. It is liable to injure the threads so that it cannot be screwed to the tripod. Do not try the experiment of connecting two terminals with your fingers instead of a wire. Electric terminals become very hot at times. Never call on the Profs at the Faculty club. They are liable to entice you into a card game and take all your money. Do not throw chalk at any of the Profs, no matter how much you want to. It makes more work for Frank. Never buy any ink for drawing. Your neighbor will almost always have some. This also applies to lettering pens. There is no use copying math problems. Get the man you copy from to use carbon paper. If necessary, buy it for him. Do not swear at a Prof when he is on duty, unless you are a good deal bigger man than he is. Never carry a pony to an exam, as it might buck and throw you. Always sit next to a good man. 230 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION BY CORRESPONDENCE The American School of Correspondence offers instruction by mail under the direction of teachers of acknowledged standing.

The Engineering Building NEW YORK CITY V' Do not play catch with voltmeters, ammeters, etc., as you might drop them and break the glass front. Always wear a derby to school. The fellows can have more fun with a derby than they can with a soft hat. Do not kick if you get an exam every week. Even an exam is some- times less tiresome than the Prof’s lecture. Never work Physics lab experiments yourself. Always do them by the absorption method. Do not think that you can get all your work by absent treatment. You must attend classes at least once a week. Never go out for an athletic team. You might have to go into training. Never wear a red flannel shirt to school. It is very hard on the other fellow’s eyes. Do not bring cigars to a Prof who has conditioned you. It has been tried before and does no good. Above all, do not hand any of your work to the editors of any of the publications. They would rather use their own work anyway. Sprague Coaching Football Team. EUGENE DIETZGEN CO. I M P O R T E R S AND MANUFACTU R HRS O F Drawing Instruments and Materials 181 MONROE ST.

A silly joke, a clever stroke, You think you’ve made a hit; She knows one, too, it’s fairly new, You overflow with wit. Her cheeks burn red, you lose your head, And things don’t seem the same; Her ruby lips, long to be kissed, But then, you’re not to blame. You soon draw near, and call her dear, The sweetest girl you know; Try to caress, and then confess, You always loved her so. She knows you well, and will not tell, And this you do deplore; You’re where you’re at, when you said that, A hundred times before. MORAL. Do not allure, this maid demure, No matter what you know; To maiden dear, it is quite clear, How far a girl should go. -A. J.
