Shi’ Institute To understand an institution, to read its history rightly and interpret correctly the developments within it, an insight into its character is of prime importance. A college, in particular, can be appreciated in the fullest measure only when its individuality is made to stand out from the pages of its chronicles. Armour Institute of Technology, a college of engineering,—so does the world know the Institute. And the courses of instructions—the degrees conferred— the enrollment from year to year, are matters of record to be readily learned from the bulletins. But the vital interest back of the facts and the changes lies in the characteristics of the college revealed through them. Twenty years have stamped Armour as an exponent of progress. Among the colleges ever ready to advance the cause of practical science, to take the lead in spreading worthy technical movements, and even to assume the initiative by introducing new courses to the fechnical educational world, A. I. T. must always be classed with the foremost. Changing conditions in the industrial and educational fields have been promptly realized and in- telligently met, with no hesitation induced by false sentiment. In the spring of 1910 the Armour Scientific Academy graduated its last class. During its existence the Academy had fulfilled its purpose admirably. But changes had come about. The College of Engineering was pressed for space. The Board of Education of Chicago had provided technical high schools splendidly equipped for preparatory work. The deduction was logi- cal, and the move pointed out as the way of progress was made. The curriculum of the Institute abounds in evidence of the strong char- acter of the college. Many are the courses in Architecture offered through- out the United States, but so strong a combination as that afforded by the co-operation between Armour and the Art Institute is unique among them all. And the union which developed the Art Institute course in Architecture into the Chicago School of Architecture, was effected only two years after the founding of Armour Institute of Technology. In 1901, when the course in Chemical Engineering was added, there were but two or three other courses of like nature offered in the country, and even today only ten colleges schedule Chemical Engineering. These ten colleges are all among the most promi- nent engineering colleges of the nation, and Armour leads them and the world in equipment for industrial laboratory work. For ten years A. I. T. has stood alone, graduating students from the only existing four year course in Fire Protection Engineering. An industrial demand led to the establishment of this branch of study, in which the Under- writers Laboratories of Chicago co-operate with the Institute. Professor Taylor is the father of the course which has gained substantial recognition in the industrial world. To show that the distinction of inaugurating a new branch of technical work was not due to chance opportunity, the college has -”7_ CLASS °f l%4r. achieved this feat for a second time. Dean Raymond perceived the need of better opportunity for instructors in Manual Training, with the result that 1912 saw the establishment of a course in Industrial Arts, leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree, designed to meet the needs of Chicago’s teachers and others. This year 41 are enrolled in Industrial Arts, and industrial edu- cation owes one more debt to Armour Institute of Technology. In the distinctions and particulars which individualize colleges and give to them definite personalities, the predominating characteristics of the faculty as a body, stamp themselves plainly as characteristics of the college. The facts which observation show to pertain to the faculty body at A. I. '1'. might be anticipated from the nature of the events recorded as the history of the college. The Professors at Armour are perhaps younger than those in the older universities and colieges, but they are full of enthusiasm, they are efficient, and they are in close sympathy with the needs of the student body. As a compliment to the faculty and the methods of education employed by the college, the fact stands out that Armour’s Alumni are staying with their professions in a percentage beyond the average for graduates of technical colleges. Related to all the above, and furnishing a final important phase in the peculiarities of the college, is the undergraduate life. Decidedly different is this question at Armour from the usual, for the absence of campus life has meant the working out of undergraduate problems under conditions not generally prevalent. Armour spirit has sometimes been called into question, when a lack of interest in student activities, outside of the daily study pro- gram, seemed evident. At times it has seemed that the hard scholastic re- quirements, the absence of dormitories, and the location in Chicago, would leave A. I. T. with but little beyond its educational activities. But these were the times when the problem was working itself to a final solution. Out of it all has evolved a distinctive Armour spirit—a progressive spirit in keeping with the character of the College. Some organizations have died, while others, better fitted to survive the prevailing conditions, have arisen. The student body is now supplied with the activities it demands. Armour Spirit has come to mean—desire to participate in those things which ring true as wholesome college activity, interest in all that pertains to Alma Mater, and above all, grit and determination to make good for her glory.

Miss Gertrude Ycblcn, Assistant Librarian. The Library contains more than 27,000 volumes, and 4,000 pamphlets; 180 periodicals are taken, kept on file and bound. It is primarily a reference li- brary for engineering; students, but is also strong- in science, history, literature, philosophy and eco- nomics. It is well supplied with current literature, including the transactions and proceedings of learned societies and the chief literary and scientific periodicals. Direct access to the shelves of the Library is allowed to the students in order that they may better familiarize themselves with the use of the library. MISS (JKRTRUDK VKBLEN An important feature of the work done by the Library staff is the valuable help offered to the various departments of instruction by the preparation of Engineering Bibliographies.

Howard Cooper Influence of the Rate of Flow of Oil upon the Coef- ficient of Friction. A. S. M. E.; Junior Play; Senior Photo Committee. Howard is a dashing young man who has learned to combine work with play in the proper propor- tions. He always attends the Armour dances and many of us wonder at the extent of his acquaint- ance for he seldom brings the same girl twice. Charles Henry Spencer, Jr. Stratification of Gases in Two-Cycle Engines. Tau Beta Pi; A. S. M. E.; Y. M. C. A.; Class Sec- retary T2-T3; Secretary Board of Athletic Control; Tech. Baseball 4 years; Captain ’12-T3; Class Base- ball ’09-’12. Charles is a quiet, modest young man, with a record that shows no one ever loses by modesty and gentlemanly conduct. He is ever courteous and the general verdict of the class is “A mighty fine fellow, this Spencer.” [ SO ] B. S. IN M. E. CYCLE.. Paul Kadel Brown Test of 25 H. P.

Paul’s working qualities were recognized as soon as he came among us. and immediately offices were showered upon him as the above list shows. He has the gift of song for which his class mates will ever remember him. George Fleming Irving Effect on Speed and Economy of Varying the Weights of Governor Balls on a Simple Corliss Engine. Omega Lambda; A. S. M. E.; Y. M. C. A. George is one of our most congenial fellows with a sense of humor that is all his own. It is whisp- ered that he is quite a familiar figure in the social circles at Northwestern University. George is well known for his mature appreciation of men and ideas, a rare quality among young men. John Wintercorn, Jr. Test of 25 H. P. Smith Anthracite Suction Gas Producer. Tau Beta Pi; A. S. M. E. John’s integrity is unquestionable for he even re- fused to crib” in Economics. Despite this, John is one of those brilliant students who combine horse sense with their knowledge. As an engineer he is bound to be a success, for although he is quiet and unassuming, he is there with the goods. Adolph Frederick Fors Test of 40 H. P. Halladay Automobile Chassis. A. S. M. E., Y. M C. A. Somewhere there is a romance connected with the life of our Adonis, Adolph Fors. In spite of this saddening tinge in his life, Adolph always appears cheerful. He is highly accommodating, and in college phraseology, is Urmcd a mighty good scout. Jesse Dudley Bradford Installation and Test of Three-Ton York Ice Plant. Tau Beta Pi; Sphinx; Bus. Mgr. Armour Engineer ’ 12-’ 13; Vicc-pres. A. S. M. E. ’11-’13. Bradford’s temperament is peculiarly susceptible to song, particularly so if rendered by the charming young lady of his acquaintance. He no sooner met her, we are told, than life began to assume a new aspect. What a splendid theme here for a novel entitled “Calculus, Woman and Song. [ 40 ] CLASS °f 1514-. © B. S. IN M. E.

Not only in scholarship but also in the activities supplemental to student life has this young gen- tleman excelled. The old theory that the good student is necessarily a grind is here disproved, for Jarvis seldom misses any of our social af- fairs and is well known as a good scout. Charles Frederick Kehr Effect on Carburetion of Varying Conditions in the Intake Manifold on an Automobile Motor. A. S. M. E. After being properly subdued, Charles turned around and became one of the men who do things. His pet specialty is boiler testing, and the way he does it is a wonder. He can knock the scale off boilers by talking to them, and he wins a girl’s heart in the same way. Everybody has a good word for Charlie, the faculty included. Donald Adams Drozeski Heat Treatment of Alloy Steels. Tau Beta Pi; Omega Lambda; A. S. M. E.; Junior Play; Class Treasurer ’12-’13. With a disposition such as Don” possesses, it is not at all surprising that he received the most impor- tant office of class treasurer. Don has no trou- ble at all collecting dues. He is a mighty good mixer and has the knack of making friends easily. Oscar George Sciimieman Stratification of Gases in Two-Cycle Engines. A. S. M. E. Schmieman is a quiet young man of rather a serious turn of mind. He surprised us all by appearing at one of the dances recently, the surprise being his unlooked-for proficiency in the art of dancing. Schmieman is a good worker, thorough, willing and reliable. Alfred Walber Semerack Test of a 40 H. P. Halladay Automobile Chassis. A. S. M. E. “Wie gchts?” Ganz wohl.” Hail the man from Germany. We cannot understand how he was ever allowed to leave that country for surely it needs a man who is as smart as a whip. “Scmy” deserves more credit than most of the fellows for getting through college for he has had to supply the necessary coin himself. [ a ] B. S. IN M. E. THE. CYCLE,. Alexander Francis Robertson Installation and Test of Three-Ton York Ice Plant. Treasurer A. S. M. E. ’12-’13; Y. M. C. A.; Junior Play. To Robertson might well be applied the term, gentleman and scholar.” Rob is one of those conscientious, hard-working young men who still have a little time for their fellows. It is a credit to our class that it numbers men of this type. Irwin Newman Installation and Test of Three-Ton York Ice Plant. A. S. M. E.; Y. M. C. A. Newman is one of our bright young men famous for his ability to ask questions about engineering problems. But even this dutiful son finds it hard to decide between an engineering meeting and a dance when the two occur on the same night, the dance invariably winning out. Peter Oscar Edwin Johnson Effect on Speed and Economy of Varying the Weights of Governor Balls on a Simple Corliss Engine. A. S. M. E. Eddie,” the talk of the town, is by far the best known man in his class. His keen wit and good nature have done much to immortalize him, and the way he gets there without any apparent work is beyond imagination. As cheermaster for the class he has always been conspicuous for his ab- sence. Kasimir Gucis Heat Transmission Through Insulating Materials. A. S. M. E. The air of distinction and grand manner habitual with Gugis have earned him the title of Count. Gugis has traveled a great deal and is an accom- plished linguist. He is a hard worker and good fellow as well, a combination which seldom fails to get results. Nicholas Vanderkiept Resilience Test of Automobile Tires Under Com- mercial Conditions of Operation. A. S. M. E.; Gtec Club Tech Track Tl-’12. Vanderkieft’s good nature and bubbling good humor shines in his contenancc.

But Kuchn is not all work. He attends all our smokers, banquets and dances, and is an all around good fellow. He is a thorough student with a highlv creditable re- cord. William Howard Yorke Resilience Tests of Automobile Tires under Com- mercial Conditions of Operation. A. S. M. E., Y. M. C. A. Yorke surprised his associates by giving up “fussing” entirely when he reached his senior year. He still attends all of the social affairs; but his de- meanor, previously characteristic of the college sport, now exhibits that polish indicative of a man of maturity and refinement. Who is she, Yorke? Clifford Milton Larson Influence of the Rate of Flow of Oils on the Coeffi- cient of Friction. A. S. M. E. It is still a mystery to us why the friends of Clifford Milton Larson call him by the peculiar name of “Gucks.” We do not think the name descriptive of his youth, for it sounds barbarous and harsh, whereas we have ever found Clifford gentle and amiable, and altogether a fine fellow. Daniel Monroe Stump Construction and Comparative Tests of a Four Cycle Gasoline Engine Arranged to Operate With and Without an Augmented Charge of Air. A. S. M. E. Ever since Dan obtained his motorcycle he has become possessed of a speed mania. The desire for speed attends him everywhere and particularly in quizzes. Stump generally hands in his little yellow book while the rest of the class arc sharpen- ing their pencils preparatory to beginning. Yuk Wong Test of the Tensile Strength of Different Sizes of Commercial Wire. Wong has been a student at Armour off and on since he entered the Academy in 1904.

E., so why not a broncho which is time in comparison. Rudolph E. Fischel Study of Distribution Curves of Lamps and Re- flectors with Arc Light Photometer. A. I. E. E. It has been ruumored that our friend Rudolph is to migrate to other climes at the end of his school career because of heart trouble. The man who loves and runs away will live to love another day. We extend our hearty wishes for his success. Albert Lee Arenberg Study of Distribution Curves of Lamps and Re- flectors with Arc Light Photometer. A. I. E. E. Class Basketball, ’lO-’ll, ’12; Tennis Championship ’09, ’ll; Tech Track ’12. Birds of a feather flock together. That is why our friend Albert is never seen without his “fidus Achates,” Fischel. Albert has brought honor to the class by winning several tennis championships. Joseph S. Ehrman Hydro-Electric Development on the West Branch of the Penobscot in Maine. A. I. E. E. When a person has been unanimously elected Sergeant-at-Arms for four consecutive years you can surmise in what respect and reverence our esteemed friend Joseph is held.

Marston Curtis Proposed Hydro-Electric Development on the Des- plaines River at Channahon, 111. Eta Kappa Nu; Y. M. C. A.; A. I. E. E. Chairman Pin Committee ’13. Mr. Curtis is a demure sort of person and reminds us of a shy little girl who does not like to give up information concerning himself personally. Curtis is one of the Electricals who take their physical exercise during electric lab periods. Walter Gilmore Stansel Proposed Hydro-Electric Development on the Des- plaines River at Channahon, 111. Eta Kappa Nu; A. I. E. E.; Junior Play. W. G. S.—which stands for World’s Greatest Scout” —is busily engaged in pursuing those two alluring unknowns, femininity and electricity, but by use of determination and perseverance most of his successes have been of the latter variety.

It is not the usual thing for a man to leave Father- land and friends behind, come to a strange coun- try, and in a few years become so perfectly ac- climated that there is no trace of strangeness or hesitancy about him.

Senior Class -History To the extent that the honourable deeds of mental and physical valour done and achieved by the class of ’13 should notably be registered and put in perpetual remembrance, whereby the ambitious and aspiring may have an example to encourage them in their endeavours, we will treat and record a history of great prowess and hardy travail. But ere we begin our history, we beg that whoso this writing readeth or heareth may take not offense at the seeming indifference with which we treat of the fallacy of the “thirteen” superstition as has been plenteously proven by the deeds of this class. It was on the seventh day of September in the first year of the reign of William Rex that there assembled at this institute of learning many brave and courageous youths who did inscribe their names on the covenant and likewise parted with much hard-earned coin of the realm. In number an hun- dred five and eighty, they passed the first days of their probation without fear or trembling inasmuch as the edict had gone forth that no longer should there be warring among the lower classes. In compliance with the customs of the times, they assembled themselves together that they might select them leaders. And after much turmoil and divers kinds of speech making was Simpson made lord and governor of the class. And a few days after, by the command of the learned Doctor, were all the classes gathered together that they might listen to the dulcet strains of the Rrotheroes and likewise much profit by the discourse of the Doctor. And when they were come together each class endeavored to discomfit the other by uttering divers kinds of yells of defiance and challenge. Inasmuch as these proceedings were new and strange to those of ’13 they were sorely angered and annoyed that they could not join in the festivities. But certes, they intended to make all amends. Hearing that the great and noble ruler of our land was to sojourn in our town on the sixteenth day of the same month, therefore the whole Tech with banners bravely flying and with glad cheer, proceeded to the king’s highway that they might greet him and pay him homage. And again on the following night they were come to the Dining Hall on the far side of the clearing and there engaged in much shaking of hands and in sundry noises. Much glad cheer was here dispensed and those of ’13 were welcomed right royally by the other classes. And now the upper classes ordained council among them- selves whereby the whole Tech should meet at the Hall of Music called Oak- land there to indulge in the obnoxious weed and be cheered by the entertain- ment there provided. Those f ’13 did here wax prodigiously noisy wherefore the other classes did spitefully them reprove. But indeed, during the first year of their sojourn at the Tech, those of ’13 made a name for themselves by excelling in feats of skill and strength. Hav- ing swept everything before them on the diamond, they then proceeded to take first honors in the interclass basketball tournament. Herein the names of Hamilton, Simpson, Spencer and Lindquist were added to the athletic roll of honor. Evenso they found plentiful time wherein to absorb much knowledge and increase their good name among the powers that be. Their efforts were ThtE. CYCL.E . of such great avail that very few succumbed at the semi-annual inquisition. Thus passed their first year, and that they might fittingly celebrate the com- pletion of their arduous labors they gathered with the other classes at the Colonial Club where they spent several pleasant hours describing graceful parabolas and hyperboles to Benson’s tuneful music. When the month of June was come the whole Tech disbanded to their various domiciles there to await the call to duty on the following September. With sadly depleted ranks those of T3 returned to the Tech in the fall resolved to carve a niche for the class on the smoke-covered heart of their alma mater. And now to the manner wise they chose as their leader, W'eart who had been second in command during the year previous. Moreover they could now look down with scorn on those of '14 even like the lion at the mouse. And indeed they were likewise cheered by the news that the A. S. A. had per- ished during the summer vacation and that hereafter the yearly stipend for those desiring to enroll at the Tech had been increased ten pounds sterling. But now forsooth those of ’13 must pay the penalty for scholarly proficiency inasmuch as their strength had been greatly sapped through hours of patient poring under the burning oil. They must needs be satisfied with second hon- ors in the annual tournaments though it went sore against their grain. Quietly and peaceably those of ’13 wooed the goddess of learning and became soon even wiser than their preceptors in their own imagination. At Christ- mas our leader was called to higher honors wherefore was Wald chosen leader to complete the year. And now again for the third time those of '13 came together, worn and battle-scarred, but greatly determined to win the conflict. Wise now in the ways of the world, they brought into the class meeting divers devices whereby they showed themselves exceedingly adept at matters politic. Using a heavy iron roller of vast size, they managed by great exertion to elect Adams as leader and all other officers from among the clan of Civils. Inasmuch as this was the year wherein a week is set apart that the Juniors might disport themselves and make merry, therefore were Brown and Woerner chosen to lead the festivities. In order that those of ’13 might not lose their well- earned prestige in the field of sport they took first honors in the inter-class basket ball tournament and likewise third honors in baseball. And now at the invitation of the Doctor did the great and noble ruler of our land visit the Tech in the month of March and did deliver himself of an opinion regarding the cacchinations intended as joyous welcome. And anon came that week called Junior Week and those of ’13 verily outdid all other classes. For every day in the week was something arranged to stir up the blood and keep up the good feeling. With baseball games, the great drama called “The Emergency Coed,” the banquet at the University Club and the dance at Colon- ial Club they contrived to set a high mark for Junior Weeks that will be hard to surpass. 1911 1912 [ 58 ] 1913 CLASS of l%4r. For the last time those of '13 hearkened to the call of knowledge to inscribe their names on the covenant. Much reduced were they in numbers, scarce five score in all but much heartened withal that the end was soon in sight. It now happened that the Mech. clan, being more experienced in matters politic, were enabled to fill almost all the offices from among their number by using the method learned from the Civils in the year preceding. Burley, huge of frame and enjoying much popularity, was acclaimed “first Senior at Armour” and full well has he performed his office. Inasmuch as those of ’14 had pre- vailed upon the powers that be to consent to the reappearance of the redressed Integral, then did those of ’13 abandon their own private book to join hands in producing the greater book and to share in the glory. (?) As befits the dignity of seniors, little time was spent in poring over books forasmuch as they were now well qualified to answer all questions from their own imagination. Between having their likenesses reproduced in gold and platinum and circumventing the collector of much moneys for man- ifold purposes, suffice it to say that those of ’13 have spent a busy year. But the end approaches and those of ’13 are impatiently waiting to show the expectant world how things should be run. Truly marvelous are the theses now in course of preparation and they will certainly reflect great credit on the imagination which has been so carefully and painstakingly cultivated during our term of four years at the Institute. Be that as it may, the class of ’13 has made a name for itself among the archives of the Tech on account of its high grade of scholarship, proficiency in athletics, college loyalty, and various other qualities which need not be mentioned. Therefore, we can see naught ahead but fame and honor for those who were brave enough to withstand superstition and enroll with the class of ’13.

METHOD: The runs commenced on 9 7 09, model '13 being accompanied by three other cars, '12, '11, and’10, these cars dfcopping out in their respective years, car '13 having swiped their gas. The runs were made in four periods of nine months each, the three intervening months be- ing set aside to allow the orews to do enuf exhibition work to raise the neoessary wherewithal for fuel, oil and accessories for the next run. The runs provided for physioal and mental tests, altho’ many of the latter were more of the former considering the amount of use made of the occupants of a certain stable. Tests of stability on a polish- ed floor were run as often as the treasury allowed. DISCUSSI OH: A perusal of the data and graph sheets show that 13 has an indeterminant piston displacement imoaning capacity) and a lively crew; and, as yet, that ‘16 is having some trouble with its forward 6peed transmission. From curve one ilj, it oan bo seen that ‘14 start- ed off with oversize tires, and necessarily, therefore, with a swelled head, but acknowledging the superior wisdom of its elders has sinco come down to the proper level. '15 has had rctch ignition and gear troub- les, there being much back-firing and many stripped gears on the second run. Being hired to do so, it must be said in conclusion that the 13 model has had the other cars backed off the collegiate boards in all the tests and at the same time developing an intellectual capacity in her orew of plus infinity (which isn't much).

SE1} Class nf Stfnptaen Jfaurteen A RECORD OF ITS EXPLOITS FOREWORD To write the biography, to date, of the Class of Fourteen involves the recording of the development and deeds of a very vigorous, healthy and progressive personality. The strong coherence of the individuals to the class in all undertakings shows in the decidedly unusual number of achieve- ments indelibly written to the credit of the present Juniors. CHAPTER ONE. The official birthday of Fourteen, September 12, 1910, presented to Armour a large and promising infant. From the discomfort caused by the crowded halls on that noteworthy occasion it was apparent that the host of Freshmen donating their first shekels to their prospective Alma Mater, constituted a class of unusual size. Enrolling with Fourteen were many men from the last class of the A. S. A., and the familiarity of these men with the ropes at A. 1. T. expedited the organizing of the Frosh. Quickly the formalities were gone through, the men became acquainted with one another and the college, and Fourteen began to display a lively interest in what was going on about it. The then recent death of the “rush” meant that no desperate struggles were had with the worldly wise Sophs. At the Freshman Smoker the new- comers massed manfully behind their president and took possession of the balcony at Oakland Music Hall, which was previously occupied by the second year men, and contributed a large share to the smoke and noise of the evening. Athleticly, Fourteen was into the game at the first opportunity. The basketball season offered the unexpected sight of the freshmen walking off with the interclass championship. An uneasy feeling prevailed in the class, and diagnosis of the case revealed that track was needed back at A. I. T., so an agitation was started. This athletic unrest was quieted somewhat when “One-Four” repeated by landing first in the inter-class baseball series. In the due course of events the Freshman dance was held. March 31, 1911 marks the date of Fourteen's debut into Armour’s social whirl. Signal success attended this initial attempt. The electrical effects were unique and Fourteen’s reputation as a host was made. An addition to the social calendar came when the class held the first annual Freshman banquet. An incident displaying good judgment as well as agressiveness, was the appointment at the end of the Freshman year, of a committee to give wel- come and aid to the newcomers next fall. At this early date too, the idea was conceived of starting a “year book fund,” to be applied to Fourteen’s Senior Year Book, or to the revival of a Junior annual. The close of the year showed a very creditable scholarship average for the Frosh. The athletic records showed Fourteen well represented on the Tech teams. All in all, the college was ready to say, “Well done, One-Four!” [ ] CYCLE.. CHAPTER TWO. With the arrival of September, 1911, Fourteen stepped briskly into Soph- omore position, and resumed progress on all lines. Increased athletic glory was brought by the Inter-class baseball championship. Again the Tech teams included a large share of Fourteen talent. But most noteworthy in the ath- letic field was the successful issue of the track agitation begun in the Fresh- man year. Track was re-instated. The word was passed, however, that the preservation of track at the Tech depended on the degree of student support accorded it. To investigate methods of assuring good support not only to track, but to all worthy activities, a soph committee was appointed. Quickly the work of the committee materialized into the Armour Rooters’ Association, an organization of the whole college, headed by the men of Fourteen. During the Sophomore year Fourtccn’s Year Book fund was added to, and the uneasiness regarding the Junior annual, which had passed out with the demise of the Integral in 1910, was visibly increasing. With the close of the year came more activity for the class. The dance, banquet, and other social affairs proved the expected successes. The balmy days developed a Sophomore college tennis championship. And the com- bined election and appointment of members of the Fulcrum managing staff placed a Fourteen man at the head of the college paper. Satisfied with the showing of the first half of its existence, Fourteen formally adjourned for the customary three months. CHAPTER THREE. And time passed until Fourteen had come into the title of Junior Class at A. I. T. As had been planned and foreordained the re-establishment of the Junior annual was brought about—with the good will of the college and the co-operation of the seniors, Fourteen launched the Cycle. In regular routine the Juniors claimed the intercalss championships in baseball, basketball and track. The Tech basketball team too was captained by a Junior, and owed much strength to the prowess of Fourteen’s men. With the return of track and the coming of the Cycle, Fourteen’s ac- tivities were not yet complete. At the Freshman Smoker the Juniors began agitation for the return of football, and Fourteen is now making deep inquiries on that subject. Armour’s greatest Junior Prom befell on February 7, 1913, and Fourteen’s reputation lost nothing through the event. But the completion of chapter three of this record lies in the future. It is for another year to tell the fame of Fourteen’s Junior week. The present Junior class presents its history to Armour men in a spirit of pride for what has been accomplished, and hope for what still can be done—hope for the deeds of future classes as well as for its own exploits. And there is too, an element of respect for those who have preceded. For, after all, the incentive to Fourteen’s success has been in the desire to work for old Armour and to make good in the eyes of her sons—those who have gone and those who are still to come. I 70 ] CLASS °f l%4r. Summer (Camp —1912 On June 7th the hopeful Civils embarked for their six weeks’ sojourn in the wilderness, arriving at Pembine the next morning after spending a sleep- less night. The “Limited which was to carry them on to Kremlin being slightly behind schedule time, the interval was spent in- specting the metropolis of Pem- bine. Although the sight seeing cars were not running, the fellows managed to find out that there were about twelve thirst emporiums scattered about, the majority being on the Last side of town where high class “varnish” was sold. After the local freight on the Soo Line finally did arrive it did not take long to get to Kremlin—not cpiite as long as it takes to walk (ask “Bunk” Hollowed.) Arriving at Kremlin, everybody picked their tents and tent- mates for the next six weeks. The Rathskeller harbored Art Moeller and Bill Kann, who were always ready to dispense their musical talent, together with Sister Pomerene and Ero Dames. Next came the Hobo Hotel which con- tained the other half of the quartet, “Ty Cobb” Hook and Speed” Emslie, occasionally known as “Dink” who had a habit of rehearsing “Everybody’s Doing It” at all hours of the night; also “Smudge” Compton and “Hobo” Zack (who parted with their curly locks via Hook’s clippers to get next to nature and “Sixty” Auer.) The last tentful of Sophs, The Holligan Flats, contained “Pickerel” Doan, “Gaby” Boetter, “Doc” Ehrlich, Art Heeren and John Vesely —a tentful of terrors (?) to the fish until the game warden made a call. The Annex was the exclusive property of “Slim Bill” Suffern and “Premo” Mir- anda, the terrible terror of the backwoods sluggers. This tent was the ren- dezvous of the wolves” and “little games” were pulled off almost every night. Next came the supply tents and then Professor Phillips and Mr. Penn’s tent. Following was the Baby Incubator tent in which “Bernice” Walker, who acted as commissary, and John Lucas, who had charge of the instruments, were hatched. The Dingbats next door was presided over by Felix Trujillo who had his hands full with “Chris” Hollowed and “Cupid” Oldenburger. “Jump- ing Jupiter” Wood and “Singing Jack” Stewart who has a beautiful voice (in his sleep) which requires a little cultivating (with a harrow) were the other occupants. The Morgue, next in order, contained “Cocky” Marx, “Ger- many” Nebel and “Ignatz” Simmons otherwise known as the “Boy Scout,” “Archimedes Mike” and several other pet names. Last but not least came the noisy tentful of freshmen in Seldom Inn—“Dynamite” Anning, “Swede” Strombach, Heine Rook and “Lanky” Knuepfer, who were the objects of a midnight raid the night before the Fourth. At exactly twelve on the night of July 3rd the celebration started. Everybody had to pile out under threats [ 71 } of a shower. Aiming didn’t see the joke and consequently had his boudoir mussed slightly and decided to spend the rest of the evening playing hide and seek with the mosquitos in the swamp. It didn’t take long to get acquainted with the nearby “bergs” of Faithorn, Pembine, Norway, etc., but first of all with the postmistress at Kremlin, that is, when “Steve” Walker wasn’t there. Although the fellows formed a number of acquaintances with the lumber jacks, their most intimate attach- ments were acquired with the mosquitos who seemed to take quite a fancy to them especially on those moonlight (?) nights which were best enjoyed while writing up stadia notes. Among the prospective “consulting” engin- eers several “Hot Air” Lines were run which were guaranteed to eclipse the Soo Line. Numerous budding topographers were discovered—or rather undis- discovered—who could take enough topography in two hours from a conven- ient hill top to satisfy their desire for the rest of the day. Before leaving camp several fellows could call all the ties between Faithorn and camp by their first names. After having spent a week dismantling instruments and searching for the “Line of Collimation” the camp baseball team journeyed to Faithorn under the leadership of Bill Kann and took the lumber jacks in tow by a score of 22 to 6. Faithorn’s phenomenal pitcher couldn’t make his “dark one” work that day, it being Sunday, and consequently the natives got a little exercise. On June 30th the team was defeated by Pembine 9 to 8 because of a few blis- tered hands and stiff backs acquired in pumping a “rattler” up hill for ten miles. On July 1th however the fellows went to Pembine determined to win, and with Miranda pitching, beat them 1 1 to 5. That night the natives pulled off some races and fireworks—also firewater—and gave an impromptu dance. Although there were not enough waitresses to go around for partners every- body had a good time.

Here they come! See them- strut! Don’t you know who they are? Why they are one of the best classes that ever went through the Armour Institute of Technology. Did you say that you never heard of them? Astounding! Well! Just sit down here a few minutes and I will tell you all about them. The class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen was born on the Eleventh day of September in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven. A memorable date indeed. The halls and corridors in the main building were crowded with Freshmen on that day; they soon became acquainted with one another and it wasn’t long before they noticed that the upper classmen were casting admiring glances at them and that even the Faculty seemed to be proud that they were going to be with them for four consecutive years. It was then that these humble freshmen realized that they had come to Armour not only to make a name for themselves but also for the school, and they set about immediately to do so. They were far more progressive than most classes and they wanted to “do things” right away but they didn’t want to neglect their studies, so after they were well settled in Chemistry, had a good start in Algebra, had soiled their overalls in the Foundry and Forge Shop and had taken a few showers in the Gym., (all of this covering a period of about two weeks) they became restless and called a class meeting. Their first class meeting was notorious. They didn’t wait for an upper classman to officiate and advise them as had hitherto been the custom but immediately set in to run things to suit themselves. Suddenly, from out of their midst, sprang two fellows, both headed for the temporary chair, one was short and heavy set with red hair and known afterwards as “Red” Strain, the other was tall, sinewy and grew dark hair; he was known as “Duke” Coo- ban. “Red” beat his rival to the chair and called the meeting to order. This was the first step towards the organization of this famous class. In less than an hour everything was over with. Strain was elected President, Earl Markham, chairman of the social committee, and Joe Chamberlain, Treas- urer—the three most important offices. All through the year the class showed unusual ginger and in the following Spring gave one of the prettiest and neatest dances that was ever given at Armour. Even the upper classmen acknowledged this fact. The dance was held at the Colonial Club and over two hundred couples were present. The first annual class banquet was held at the Great Northern Hotel toward the end of the second semester and every one present enjoyed themselves so there is no reason why that banquet shouldn’t go down in history. [ 7.9 j CYCLE,. Never through the whole year did the Freshmen shirk their work and at the end they were men. The Faculty of the School was proud of them and not until everything was over did these little Freshmen know that they had been a great factor in the life of the school that year and that they were destined to be a greater factor the following year. They now felt good that the dirty work of the Forge and Foundry was over with and that they were no longer Freshmen but Sophomores; thus in a happy frame of mind, they wended their way homeward for the summer holidays, some to work, some to travel, some to visit the “fair ones” but all with a feeling of loyalty to their class. The school year of 1912-1913 opened up on the Ninth Day of September. Again the halls and stairways were crowded with 1915 men. The number had been greatly reduced, however, and only about one hundred and twenty were present. But, few as there were there was that same feeling of loyalty and independence in each man. They were now an organized crowd of fine manly young fellows and it was less than two weeks before they called a class meeting and started to get busy. This first meeting was as famous as the other meeting, probably more so. Their old President, Strain, was back and had the honor of calling the meet- ing to order. When the nominations for the Presidency were opened there were only two men nominated ; one was Harry Strain, the same old “Red,” and the other was Jack McKeage, known most generally as “Mac.” Nearly the whole hour was spent in electing one of these men. On the first ballot they split evenly but on the second ballot “Mac” beat “Red” out and a new Pres- ident took the Chair. Herman Nebel was elected Treasurer and “Pinkie” Sherwood chairman of the social committee. As Sophomores they showed more spirit and soon were letting the public know of their existence by painting large 15’s around the school. The in- coming Freshmen undertook to do something better, and pretty soon a high feeling of antagonism was in every one’s veins. The Sophs however were supreme and not only placed a “15” flag where it couldn’t be disturbed but were victorious in the “Foot-ball” game between the 15’s and the 16’s on the night of the smoker. Thus they will reign over the poor little Freshies forever. The year is still young, and if the Sophomores carry out all their plans and intentions their name will go down in the history of the school. Now' take it from me, my friend, when you hear that “Yea Fifteen,” you want to take your hat off and stand silent until all is quiet again, because you are in the presence of a loyal bunch of followers of the Green and White flag of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen of the Armour Institute of Technology.

It was the night of the Big Smoker, and all Armour was there. For some reason, which has never been satisfactorily ex- plained, there had sprung up a feeling of hostility between the classes of 1915 and 1916. It had been growing for some time and whenever a group of Sophomores came together on the campus, the air was filled with vague mutterings whose purport seemed to be, “Wait until the Smoker, there’ll be something doing then. We must stick together.” The Smoker night came, peace and good will reigned, but “Red” Strain, “Spike” Han- son and other Sophs kept the word going along the rows, “Everybody at Ogden Field as soon as we get out.” The smoker was over and a long string of students snaked its way thru the streets to Ogden Field. Some Juniors took charge. Freshmen at the north end of the field, Sophs at the south end.” Clothes and watches were hung on the flagpole, the mass divided, and then the referee held up a sack, gave the signal and the battle was on.

Then above the din was heard the clang! clang! of bells on the blue wagons, cries of “the Cops,” and then some fifty or sixty or ninety min- ions of the law stepped into the picture. There were some good athletes in the bunch that night, but the records made were never equalled in daylight. Close cleared the fence and bleachers in a single bound, Mc- Keage ran the hundred to the north gate in 9:2 flat, running a close race with Alter of the Fresh, but coming thru the gate the winner. But, alas, some were foiled in their flight by the barbed wire fence, which re- sembled a clothes line on a Monday morning after the first detachment had passed. The mortality among trousers was appalling. But finally the suspense was ended, when the valiant police released the ringleaders and left the field. After an inventory was taken, the total breakage was found to con- sist of a few bruises and Roethe’s collar bone. And peace and good will reigned once more. THINKS STUDENTS OUGHT TO STUDY. Professor Advances Theory That Colleges Are for Study and Not for Recreation. We note, in an article from a contempor- ary, that Prof. Goddard of Swarthmore Col- lege has opened a new field of thought. For the first time in the field of human research, the theory of the “Whyness” of students has been investigated. In just such a manner the idea of a spherical world was developed, and there is no telling what may come of Prof. Goddard’s hypothesis.

Many of the entries to the annual meet of the Armour Athletic Union have yet to appear. The Soph. Ath. Club is the only club that has handed in a complete entries to date. During the past year, this club has carried away the money in every meet in which they have entered except one, and have come to occupy a place where they are much feared by the other clubs. A list of entries sent in by the S. A. C. follows: 100 and 220 yd. dashes—Lord, Goe, Chase, Kratz, Sieh, Marx, Spitz. Pole Vault—Wolfson, Thai, Mammes.

Much enthusiasm has been manifested lately at Harry Springer's gymnasium. Crowds gather every night to watch and hear Frank Gotch Thai in his daily work- outs with his wrestling partners, Zbysco McKeage and Dr. Roller Chipman. The champion (of Hyde Park) is preparing for the big finish match with “the pride of the Fresh,” and there is no doubt that he will do his best work. The champion in an in- terview, said, “I will have no trouble in disposing of anyone that they put up against me, as I am in the pink of condition and am willing to meet anyone at any and all times. FINANCIAL. One of the biggest deals ever consumated on the ’change lately was the giving over of the South Side Elevated Railway Com- pany to a syndicate composed of several business students of Armour Tech. The Skindicate is composed of Messers. Chase, Vanderkieft, Zook, Galloway, Schreiber, Shaffer, Reilly, Gillidette and Porter, backed by several of the financial magnets of New York.

Her father objects merely because I am a student. Students, he says, make poor husbands. He will not give reasons for this, but has made threats as to what he will do to me if I do not keep away. Now I love the girl and will not give her up. What would you advise me to do. If I were you, Hal, I would beat up her old man and elope with the girl. If the former is impossible, elope with her mother or her little sister. L. J. K. Dear Miss Kibbey:— I want to ask your advice. By mistake I asked two girls to go to the Glee Club concert. I like them both equally well and both are all ready to go, but it would be fatal for me to turn down one, as they live in the same apartment building and the other would be sure to find it out. What would you do in my case ? F. G. G. F. G. G.—If I were you-------1 would either shut all the windows on retiring and then blow out the gas, or borrow money enough to take both the girls. Perhaps they will enjoy the latter way better as they will then have someone to converse with during the entertainment. W. L. G.—If I were you, W.

Dear Brother: On my arrival here I found that they gave more work than I could comfortably digest, so I had to postpone writing to you. My Math Prof however, must have lost himself looking for a lost golf ball, for he did not show up today; accordingly I am able to devote the usual mathematical three hours to the writing of this epistle. On Sept. 9, 1912, with much signing of papers and transference of pa- ternal cash over the library table the class of 1916 was formally registered. For a while we freshmen were knocked around as a reward for our greeness, but after our first class meeting on September 25th, we felt the strength of our numbers and let no one “hang it on” '16. On September 27, at the annual Freshman Handshake, given by the local Y. M. C. A., we had our first view of the “terrible” (?) Sophs in a body. Hostilities were in the air and there was considerable preliminary cheering and rough-housing.” By the end of the evening, however, the cheerful influence of the “feed” and Prof. Smith’s Pianologue had such a marked effect that no violence developed. Our first chance to show the rest of the college that we were the biggest thing that ever happened at Armour came in the Inter-class baseball series. In our first game we snowed the Seniors under by a 16-6 score, but we lost the championship to the Juniors. Our fine showing gives us a chance of landing several varsity positions in the spring. We repeated our baseball performance in the Inter-class track meet, when the Juniors, by dint of more experience, managed to nose us out by a three-point margin. ’16 furnished the stars of the meet in Sullivan, Landis and Katzinger. You ought to have seen those three walk away from the rest of the field, Kid. About three weeks ago the Sophs developed a mania for painting of- fensive “ ’15s” along the sidewalks and walls. For a while we let them enjoy themselves, but finally the artistic pride of some of my classmates was touched, and the night preceding the Freshman Smoker the '15s were mys- teriously transformed into majestic '16s. Smoker evening was on November 8. '16 certainly turned out for the occasion and kept the balcony safe from intruders. The program was in- troduced, now and then, but it did not interfere with the yelling. The most interesting number on the program was staged later on at Ogden Field. It was rather dark and stormy in that particular locality for a while and various Freshmen and Sophs are suspected of being responsible for the storm. It appears that the Sophs became wearied of being walked upon and sent in a riot call. After the police had been persuaded that the Sophs deserved all that they got, they (the police) returned to their downy cots. In the Inter-class basketball series, just finished, we once more took second place to the Juniors. However, several of our men will undoubtedly land places on the Tech team. r i Well, the clock just struck one, and I guess I’ll quit. Prof loses himself, Yours till the next A. Fresh. In the Armour Library, Feb. 10, 1013. Dear Brother:— The second registration day rolled around about a week ago, and we Freshmen went through the formalities like veterans. Things have been pretty lively since I wrote you last. As prophesied in my former letter, several of our men landed positions on the Tech Basket- ball team. Katzinger and Sullivan are playing as regulars and McDonnell was varsity guard until he hurt his foot and was forced to give up. On November 22 the Rooters’ Association inaugurated a new custom at Armour when they held a theatre party. The Frosh were there as usual. At the conclusion of the program, which was far from “nawsty,” we ad- journed to the various restaurants and chop houses. The freshmen are proving “live wires” and are active participants in all college activities. A goodly number of them have been seen at the Senior and Junior Proms, and we expect to hear from several of our number when the Glee and Mandolin Clubs stage their annual Home Concert. Our athletic heroes have been rewarded with numerals, which were pre- sented to them at our last class meeting. That meeting also disclosed some unsuspected parliamentary ability, during a hot discussion over the proposed class constitution. The matter was finally shelved, and bloodshed averted. The bell is ringing for a 9 :30 class, so that means goodbye. A. Fresh. Armour Institute, April 1, 1913. Dear Brother:— Continuing my chronicle, the recent event of greatest importance was the annual Home Concert of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs. I won’t attempt a description of the stunts of Home Coming Evening; they must have been seen to be appreciated. Needless to say, ’16 furnished its full quota of the talent. Our own social events come the latter part of the year. The social com- mittee has made arrangements for the Freshmen Dance, which is to come soon. The banquet, which will closely follow the dance, is also being earnestly discussed. The class is eagerly looking forward to the dance and “eats.” Athletics once more have the center of the stage. Baseball practice has commenced, and '16 expects to be well represented on the team. The track is well populated these days, and Armour expects to make a creditable showing. With half a semester over, I feel as though I were rounding into the home stretch of the Freshman year, so I take the liberty of signing myself, A. Near Soph. PS.—The last is, of course, a cheerful point of view. [ M ] A. N. S. Armour lExamtnlnm Whether Report For ARMOUR and the villages of Chicago and h.nglewood: — Fair, with Quiz storms due soon.

NOTICE Attention is called to the fact that the nomenclature of this sheet is the EXII AM- INHIM and no reference is made about examining her. This paper (?) is pub- lished by the faithful freshmen members of a HE college and any reference to a her is liable to cause fluttering heart failure of the youthful congregation. [ 91 1 EXAMINHIM MAGAZINE SECTION By BEETRIS EAREWAX IN THIS COLUM I SHALL ANSER THE CRYS SENT TO ME BY LOVING HARTS AND ENDEVER TO MEND BROKEN AND CRACT JOINTS. I am a young and beautiful girl of eight- een and believe that one of a number of young engineers is in love with me. He continually refers to A. I. T. What does he mean and how may I know if he really loves me? Yours, Dollie Dilpikle. A NS.—(1) A. I. T. stands for an interest- ing time and nothing else. Anybody who has any connection with A. I. T. is sup- posed to have too much brains to have any heart, so be careful. (2) In the words of Shakespeare:—“Love is measured by the expense account of the lover.” If he’s a tightwad and didn’t take you to the Fresh- man dance, drop him cold. Dear Miss Harewax :— I am engaged to the Armour Institute elevator boy. Though his life is sad, do you thirtk we will be happy? Yours, Lulu Krum. ANS.—By no means marry him. You are a girl of too happy a disposition to marry a man who has so many ups and downs in life. --------------- Roland writes:—I dearly love a beautiful girl, but she claims that I talk too much. OH! what shall I do? ANS.—Very simple, too simple even to ask a child. Become a student at the In- stitute and spend your time in the Library. Our expert, Mrs. Beveridge, will do the rest. _______________ LOST—ONE INDOOR B A S E B A L L game on Tuesday, March 4, 1913. Re- ward for any information. The Junior Class. PANTS POCKET ESSAYS By Poetta Pants. THE FRESHMAN CHEMICAL COURSE The Freshman Chemical Course at the Armour Institute of Technicalities was in- stalled in A. D. the Mayflower for the bene- fit of the clothing stores and the chemical glassware people. The object of the course, according to the Institute catalog is to familiarize the student with analytical chemistry of the qualitative and quantitative variety. The real object, however, is to slowly kill oft’ most of the prospective members of the Chemical Course. Thus those that stick it out have a better chance of getting a job after they have performed their last ex- plosion. Rumors have it, that on account of the thorough experience received, his Satanic majesty employs none but Armour gradu- ates in his fume factory. The profs., having interests in the cloth- ing business, base their marks on the num- ber of suits, trousers, vests, etc., that are consumed per semester. To join the class it is necessary to pro- cure a slij) of cardboard, called a breakage card, which closely resembles a meal ticket. The only difference is that it costs $10 and is not worth a ham sandwich when pre- sented at Armour Square. There is a n ythical story that once upon a time a fellow got some money refunded at the end of the term. This myth has all other myth- ical myths backed off.the boards. The object of the laboratory course is to see how fast you can make the glassware companies declare 7% dividends and how fast you can transform a simple piece of cardboard into a neat sieve.

Now, my dear children, what does that indicate? A Baseball Player! Right you are, and a pitcher at that. J’cvcr see Miranda (Primitive Miranda in full) pitch. He’s got Carver catching foul tips in indoor ball beat a mile. Some regular game of ball he pitches, too. “SEN- IORS—6, FRESHMEN—16, MIRANDA PITCHING,” is what the headlines were one day last fall. Now you’d think that with a handicap like Primitive attached to him he couldn’t do more than one thing. ’Nothcr think coming, however. You should have seen him bring down that liner in the indoor baseball game of March 4. Incidentally the final score was Juniors 3, and the Fresh- men 8. Far be it from us to predict what is going to happen with him in the box during the conference games, but let it suffice to say that we can rest easy on our pins as to the results. What they look like when Primitive gets to ’em What do you think of that husky fellow of the blue and white who burn- ed up the cinders in the track meet last fall? I guess Kid Sullivan did some tall grabbing for a number of those 32 points. Sort of hard lines to lose the meet by three points, but still those fussy Juniors have to be petted. Rumors have it that some generous members of the Freshman class have started a subscription toward raising the means to enable Starter Freud to take some lessons in regard to the intricacies of the starting gun. Altho’ ’14 beat the boys 9 to 4 in out- door ball, notice is to be taken of the fact that we cleaned them up to the tune of 8 to 3 when it came to the indoor variety. Another gentle reminder is that ’16’s bas- ket ball squad was the only one to take a game away from the victorious Juniors and with a score of 14 to 21 at that. And I guess that there was nothing slow in the showing of the ’16 boys on the var- sity team. M— As the Seniors looked to the Freshman WANTED—POSITION BY AN Al SER- __________ geant-at-Arms.

HUT WE HAVE REACHED A CRISIS. We must call upon our friends to come to our aid and help us in YOUR fight. We need your honest help in helping us pre- vent the future engineers from becoming hopeless cripples. WE ARE GOING AFTER THE SYS- TEM. And why? For many years, while we have pulled our weary limbs up many flights, the high handed and bloated aris- tocracy of the SYSTEM, who call them- selves superior, have lolled in ease and rid- den in luxury. But the worm has squirmed. WE REFUSE TO WALK AND DE- MAND TO RIDE. We hasten to add here, that the EXAM- INHIM has no hidden motives or desires in this glorious fight. We simply want to be counted on our patrons’ side. We want no offices, no positions or anything lucra- tive, nothing more than the power to fight the people’s battles. Their slogan, their war cry, must go. Never again shall the honored halls vibrate with the college yell of the SYSTEM. The motto, “THE ELEVATOR FOR THE ELEVATED ONLY’’ will be buried in the depths of the stone yard and no more shall we be asked to show our doctor’s cer- tificate. WE WILL RIDE IN PEACE. So get ready to strike and to strike hard. Hit wherever hittable. Remember Prof. Tibbals' “MASS ACTION.” Get those that are in the front row and REM EMBER THAT IT IS THEIR PRIVILEGE TO II O W L A CCORDIN G TO TH FIR HURTS. So charge, make them HOWL AND THEN WE RIDE. [ ! ■’ ] CLASS °f 1514. CYCLE.. ATELIER NOTES The first smoker of the year was held in the Lunch Room of the Art Institute, Oct. I, 1912. At this smoker Bishoff and Faulkner told of their trip through Europe. On Nov. 1, 1912, the Architects gave a Halloween Dance and the attend- ance was restricted to architects and their friends. The second smoker was held at the Art Institute on Dec. 19, 1912. Bernard Greengard, the winner of the Traveling scholarship of 1910-1911 gave an interesting talk. Jan. IT, 191.1, marked one of the biggest social successes of the year, the Architects’ Dance at LaSalle Hotel. At this affair Miss Mary Garden con- sented to be guest patroness. Some of the Irish Players honored us with their presence. 'fhe third smoker was held April 3, 1913, in the Club Room of the Art Institute. At this Smoker Mr. W alter Burley Griffin talked about the plan- ning of a city from the ground up. Mr. Cox and Steindler furnished the music for the evening.

In 1909 the Society became affiliated with the A. S. M. E., being duly organized as a student branch on March 9th. The Society holds student discussions on Mechanical subjects and keeps well in touch with new developments. As is usual, the present year was opened by a smoker held on Sept. 19, 1912. On Oct. 9, 1912, Mr. C. K. Baldwin gave an illustrated lecture on “Belt Conveyors.” At the second lecture on Nov. Gth, Mr. Daniel Roesch, ’01, instructor in Experimental Engineering at the Institute, delivered a treatise on “Carburetors and Mixing Valves.” The last meeting of the year 1912, was held on Dec. -1th. Mr. S. Rosenzweig, of the Erie City Iron Works, presented a paper on “Poppet Valve Engines and Superheated Steam.” Il- lustrating his remarks by means of fifty lantern slides, the speaker described the Lentz engine, one especially designed to operate under the high tem- peratures produced by superheated steam. Mr. C. W. Naylor, Chief Engi- neer of Marshall Field Co., spoke to the members of the Society on Jan. 15, 1913. Although his company now uses central station current, Mr. Nay- lor brought out many interesting facts which could only be obtained by years of experience. This meeting was followed by a banquet on Jan. 18th, held at the Boston Oyster House. On Feb. 5th, Mr. W. II. Green explained the “VVilsev Fuel Economy Gauge” to the Society. The gauge is an instru- ment for indicating relative boiler efficiencies, and is the invention of an Armour alumnus. [ ] CYCLE.. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an organization that stands at the head of the list of organizations associated with the electrical industries in this country. The student branch of the Society makes it possible for the technical student early in his career to associate with men prominent in the electrical world, and to come in touch immediately with new developments in his chosen field. The Armour Branch was organized in 1903, and at that time Prof. Freeman was appointed to the Executive Committee of the Chicago Branch of the parent Institute so that the Armour society might be well represented. Juniors and Seniors are eligible to membership, and the meetings strike an average between student discussions and talks from practical men. Meet- ings have been held as follows: Sept. 25, 191 2—Business Meeting and Smoker. Oct. 22, 191 2—“Storage Batteries”—A. L. Arenberg, T3. Nov. (� , 191 2—“Lifting Magnets”—T. H.

A suite of rooms on the second floor of Chapin Mall were secured about this time, and these have served as the meeting place of the Society ever since. A very unique pin designed to represent a levelling rod target is the Society badge. The membership numbers forty-five. The object of the organization is the discussion of Civil Engineering topics, and the promotion of general information on Engineering subjects.

Ziehn...............................Secretary W. C. Buttner.............................Treasurer The Chemical Engineering Society is now in its tenth year, having been organized in February, 1903. It was the purpose of the founders that fort- nightly discussions of practical chemical questions of the day be held. The speakers were not only men of outside prominence, but members of the so- ciety themselves. During the first five years the Society adhered rather closely to this policy and some excellent student papers may be found in the Institute library. Even the current chemical literature was reviewed and references tabulated. This policy has since been changed and at present in- formal monthly banquets with outside speakers are in vogue. On Sept. 25, 1912, the Society organized under the officers elected at the Spring Meeting. The first dinner was held October 16th at Kuntz- Remmler’s. Prof. McCormack gave an extensive report on the Eighth International Congress of Applied Chemistry to which he was a delegate. On November 20th, the Society dined at the City Club. Mr. E. T. Clarage, who was to address the meeting, was unfortunately unable to attend. Prof. McCormack and Mr. McMullen of the faculty gave interesting talks on non- corrosive steels, and the drying of eggs. The annual Alumni banquet was held Jan. 15th at the Hotel Sherman. The speakers and their subjects were: Mr. H. Sieck, ’ll—“Cocoanut Oils.” Mr. R. B. Harper, ’05, Ch. E., '09— Success or Failure for the Graduate.” Several other alumni and the chief” gave short informal talks. Mr. R. D. French, Chief Chemist for the Dearborn Drug and Chemical Co., talked on “Methods of Water Analysis” after a dinner at the City Club on March 5th. f 3 -tritior 3Hai� irs C. Harry Arnold Paul K.

Its purpose is the fostering of good- fellowship in the faculty body. The Club rooms are located on the ground floor of the Mission building, and consist of a reading room and a billiard room. During the year several tournaments arc run off, and this year E. W. McMullen and Dean H. R. Raymond have displayed the best skill with the cues. The leader of the billiard fans is said to be Comptroller F. U. Smith. The rooms are especially popular during the middle of the day; and altogether the Club is well supported by the faculty. It indeed serves the purpose of recreation and rest, combined with congenial surroundings. The honorary members are two in number, J. Ogden Armour and James Little. [ Uk ] CLASS °f 15I.4.

The Musical Clubs have become permanently organized as a society of the Institute during this season of ’12-T3. The Clubs have existed off and on since ’01-’02, particularly efficient work having been done in '06-’07, and '11-’12. This season’s work has been up to standard in every way and has included engagements both out of the city and in many suburbs of the city such as Waldron, Austin, Woodlawn, South Shore and Edgewater. The Home Concert was attempted this year as a Home Coming Night for Alumni, and the Clubs were rewarded with the best attendance ever recorded on such a night. The Institute Quartette has ably assisted the Glee Club in its pro- grams and fills engagements of its own. THE INSTITUTE QUARTETTE Prof. W. G.

This scheme of the coalition of forces and interests in one student body was conceived by members of the Class of 1914. It has well repaid the trouble necessary to effect the organization, by the resulting increased interest in Athletics, and the late phenomenal suc- cesses of Junior Week, Tech Night, and the annual Home Concert of the Musical Clubs.

A. and is, no doubt, an important factor in college life. It is the object of the Association to produce a moral movement within the student body by means of organized Christian work. At the same time the Association is absolutely undenominational. During the past year the Y. M. C. A. has been presented with the former Chapin Club rooms in Chapin Hall, an act which has greatly fostered the growth of the organization. Recreation of various kinds is furnished. The billiard table, which is a gift of Mr. Simeon B. Chapin, together with an assortment of magazines, books and games make the Club life extremely pleasant. Billiard, chess and checker tournaments are held throughout the year. During the first semester, weekly meetings have been held in the Asso- ciation rooms at which Prof. Scherger has discussed, “Topics of Interest to Young Men.” Bible study is coming to be realized as a requirement in a man’s education, and this opportunity should not be neglected. 'I'he first “affair” of each college year has been the so-called “Freshmen Handshake,” given by the Association; where by means of speeches, enter- tainment and refreshments the new-comers are made to feel as much at home as is possible. At intervals throughout the year socials are given to promote greater interest and fellowship. Upon request new students are met at trains and assistance given in finding rooms. The endeavor is also made to place students in churches of their respective denominations. A new form of activity in the Association is the teaching of English to foreigners, an action which is entirely voluntary on the part of the students. The men who do this come to realize things that they never dreamed of before. They begin to see things as the common laborer does, and conse- quently are unconsciously being trained in the handling of men such as they are sure to meet out on the “job.” This activity is really not confined to the Association members alone, and it is hoped that the school as a whole will earnestly consider it.

The Society is certainly progressing, and a gold pin of an attractive and appropriate design was adopted last year.

Activity along these lines has increased wonderful- ly, as a glance at the “Calendar” will show. This side of a technical college man’s life is very apt to be slighted; and so it is indeed grati- fying to find the Armour men sup- porting the societies and their functions in a way they never have before. The Fraternities have found the “Sophomore Ruling of the Executive Board to be no detriment whatever to their growth; and they may even be said to have stronger chapters than under the old system. A new “local has entered the fraternal field, and two of the old organizations have moved into better houses. These Functions, which do not concern the entire Institute need only be mentioned in the Calendar. The others which are annual occur- rences and have really become part of our traditions are deserving of The Departmental Societies have been forging to the front, not only tech- nically, but socially as well. To substantiate this we need only mention the smokers of the Civils, the success of the Mechanical dances, and the monthly banquets of the Chemicals and Electricals. further notice. [ m ] CLASS °f yi.4. iffrealjntan -Hanhaljake On the evening of the 27th of September, two hundred of the livest men of the Institute celebrated the entrance of the Class of 1916 into the domain of Armour good-fellowship. The celebration took place at the Institute Lunch- Room; and not only were the Freshmen decid- edly in evidence, but the upper classmen set a precedent by attending in goodly numbers. The affair was engineered by a Y. M. C. A. committee as usual, and great credit is due for putting through the best Handshake in years. Popular melodies started the festivities, and these were intermingled with much good na- tured bandinage between “Frosh” and “Soph.” All this only paved the way for some splendid “Arch-Mechs” just before the program was an- nounced. Prof. Smith, of the Mechanical l)ept., opened the program and drew down showers of applause by singing to his own accompaniment a number of humorous little ballads in dialect. He was called back until his supply of songs was well nigh exhausted, and he was given time to think of more while the program was continued. Prof. Wilcox, head of the Physics Dept., addressed the men on the local Y. M. C. A. He spoke briefly of the place it fills in Armour life, of the opportunity it now affords its members since the acquisition of the Chapin Hall rooms, and the lines along which the Y. M. C. A. men are at present working. He prefaced his remarks with a hearty wel- come to the Class of 1916. The Seniors were well represented during the evening in the piano numbers of Mr. Munn. Following these Mr. McMullen, of the Chemical Dept., explained some of the fundamental ideas of the Tau Beta Pi scholastic fraternity, as is the usual custom at the Handshake. The bread-line formed at 9:30, and Prof. Wilcox demanded that the yearlings be fed first. And therefore they were. Owing to the late arrival of one of the members, the Institute Quartette did not sing until after the refreshments had been served. Although unable to reproduce “Soothing Syrup” for the benefit of ’16, they did respond with an appropriate song for the Freshmen. The Fraternities entertained with smokers immediately following the Handshake. r m ] CYCLE.. y, ARMOUR FRESHIE ( ssk SMOKER I The concensus of opinion has it that the 8th of November was a large evening. It occured partially at Oak- land Music Hall—where the program was scheduled. The crowd began gathering as early as eight o’clock, in- cluding a loud and somewhat musical Sophomore band. By eight-thirty ev- eryone had secured his pipe and the fun was on. Something of a restless spirit pervaded the air and the throng was rather loathe to become quiet and find seats until the Freshmen sought their proper places in the balcony. The program announcer, Mr. Bur- ley, tried vainly to speak for some min- utes, and finally started the ball roll- ing by introducing the Institute Quartette. They sang several numbers in- cluding a new Alma Mater arranged by Prof. W. G. Smith and dedicated to the President of the Institute, F. W. Gunsaulus. Following the Quartette several very acceptable vaudeville acts were staged, although interruption was frequent by the two lower classes, whose excess spirit was decidedly manifest. The famous Ted Snyder’s Quartette was late, and an intermission of fifteen minutes was called to let everybody get acquainted. At the end of this period when the meeting had reconvened, the gathering was addressed by men prominent in each class on the return of football as an Institute sport. Enthusiasm ran wild on the subject, even to the pledging of financial support. There can be no question where the student body stands. The professional Quartette had arrived in the meantime, and held the crowd another half hour with their excellent work. When the program was over and the hall emptied, everybody fell into a gigantic serpentine which wigwagged its way up the “Grove” with an ad- miring audience on every side. The ultimate destination of the serpent was finally reached and the difficulties of the evening settled without harm to anyone. Over one hundred of the stragglers found their way to the Mandarin Inn where the celebration ended. i[ 166 ] CLASS °f 1514. ®Tcit Ntgijt The spirit that used to manifest itself long ago on “White City” night has finally been fanned into life again. Tech Night Nov. 22, 1912, took its place on our Social Calender for the first time this Fall, and was a mighty auspicuous occasion from every point of view. Half of the total enrollment of the Institute was there, which is certainly a record as far as attendance goes. And this meant a total expenditure of $200, which is another fact quite as noteworthy as the first. Everybody was nicely taken care of by Mr. Singer, the manager of the Palace Theatre, with the possible exception of one of the Alumni who waited until that Friday night to exchange his ticket, and found the house sold out. Mr. Singer complimented the fellows upon the absence of “rough-neck” tac- tics: and was considerably relieved upon finding that they were not in the habit of carrying away souvenir seats, as the technical men downstate do. As for the program, most of it was good. The Pot-Pourri of Comedy scheduled as Number One, turned out to be a capacity act in which even the aquarium was consumed. The Boatswain’s Mate was a sketch far from “nawsty,” and the soldier qualified as a pretty fair wooer too. Three of the young gentlemen from the Institute almost finished Miss Arline’s Act, be- fore she was fairly started. The volunteers could not qualify however, when it came to being subjects for her hypnotism. Adler, her partner, imitated everything except Fitterman executing a Sophomore yell. And so dancers and acrobats passed in review, until Act Seven brought on the inimitable Eva Tanquay. Of course she didn't dance or sing,—as the terms are usually used,—but she entertained and that was certainly what the crowd wanted. Eva’s songs were rather personal affairs, but in her personality lies her popularity. The Rooter’s may congratulate themselves on the efficient manner in which this first Tech Night was handled. D. B. Lesser was in active charge. TECH NIGHT 468 THE ARMOUR ROOTERS ASSOCIATION THE PALACE THEATRE CLANK ST.. NEAR RANDOLPH Evening of November 22nd [ 107 ] CYCLE.. Annual Horn?

The crowd was the the best that has gathered on a similar occasion twelfth in many years, and the Home-Coming idea worked annual home out especially well. Many of the alumni who had ENTERTAINMENT not been back for years were on deck, and the ===== faculty showed their appreciation of the Clubs by er attending in goodly numbers. the Musical Clubs The program consisted not only of regular Glee or music but of a number of original stunts. The a� kcsmun concert might well have been advertised as the t« looy pantomimes of Cooban, Omaha and Joliet by c’ 00 Hook and Sieh, or the silent exit of McKeage, etc. The Alma Mater songs succeeded in arousing a ebruapy ,9,3 great deal of spirit as the first number of the pro- 9b gram. The Club sang as though they were indeed proud of the latest acquisition to the Institute songs, and the audience showed their appreciation of Prof. Smith’s composition with a hearty encore. The work of the mandolins was excellent throughout the evening and they displayed an abundance of clever encores. The Quartette rose above the general good time in the singing of a very pretty quartette arrange- ment of “What From Vengeance.” Close left with the midnight choo-choo for Alabam” much to the delight of those assembled, while Heritage as Barney McGee” was second only to Brown in his realistic interpretation of When We Were Sweethearts.” The little man from Paris, Fitterman, in his French Cafe song won a round of applause, even though only the select knew what he was singing about. Romeo and Juliet must not be passed with- out a word for the five-foot tenor who loved the six foot bass. Lastly, Manager Cooban in his base ball pantomine received fully as many compli- ments as the Clubs and if either deserved them he did, not only because of his stunt, but for the efficient way in which he advertised the Home Coming Night, and in which he managed the evening.

The week was started off with a rush by the Junior banquet held Mon- day evening at the University Club. We received the privilege of this club through our friend Prof. Coffecn, who, although no longer on our faculty, will, at any time go out of his way to do us a favor. Five members of the faculty were present, each of whom spoke on some phase of his own work. The latter part of the evening was given over to impromptu talks and stories referring to the coming Junior Play and other things. Tuesday at 11:30 the Rooters’ Association held a large mass-meeting in Science Hall at which talks were given by the two Junior Week marshals, Mr. Brown and Mr. Woerner; the president of the Association, Mr. Perlstein, gave one of his “straight from the shoulder” talks, urging the fellows to wake up, and show their spirit by coming out in full force to the Play and [ m ] Tt-tE. CYCLE.. the Dance. This mass-meeting we believe was a material aid, in making the week a success. For Wednesday was scheduled the big feature, the Junior Play. On this little production, a great deal more time was spent by the Junior Class than a man ever thinks of giving to his thesis. A committee selected the play, The Emergency Co-ed,” before Christmas; the books were given out just after the holidays and try-outs started early in February. There were at first about three fellows for each of the twelve speaking parts. After a few rehearsals, however, Mr. Woerner was able to make the selection of the cast as follows: Ned Moore, the co-ed” High field, a banker... Janet, his niece....... Merwyn )...............

Much of the at- mosphere of the play was given by this chorus, every member of which became more than expert in following the different play directions, such as:. Shouts heard in distance,’’ The other candi- dates were given parts in the chorus, along with fellows who wished to help with the play, but could not spare the time that the more important parts re- quired. In the cho- rus were: Fischel, Hoffman, Wood, Stansel, Curtis, Phil- lips, Roth well, Aren- berg, Fill, Badger, Ehrman, Cramer. [ 170 ] CLASS °f 19I.4. “Cries of ‘down with co-education,’.who said co-education?’ ” Blowing of horns, beating of pans,” “Cheers,” “Wild cheers,” Still wilder cheers,” “Pan- demonium.” And as far as cheering to an echo every statement made by Mer- wvn in each of his speeches, there simply was nothing comparable to it. Not to be out-done by the Palace and Majestic theatres, the management arranged for six famous actresses to be present as ushers. They were: Gaby Deslys............................Dwight Gibbs Maxine Elliot..........................Harry Arnold Mary Garden............................J. H. Bischof Anna Held......................................Irwin Newman Eva Tanguay.............................James Hayes Bessie McCoy..........................R. D. Williams The appearance of these young women (?) as also, that of the “actresses”' on the stage, was altogether stunning and beautiful but at the first smile or spoken word, the apparition vanished. The ushers caused a great deal of amusement on the part of the audience, especially their first few attempts to sit down when the play began. We had been promised a new curtain for our play, but on account of a misunderstanding it arrived too late to be used. The old one, however, was manipulated very handily by Kehr and Yorke. The scenery, which Wr. Woerner selected, was of the best that could be procured; he had the stage extended about eight feet and a com- plete set of foot-and spot-lights installed, all of which greatly helped in making a finished production. The night of the play could not have been better, even had the weather m a n been an Armour graduate and the audience was one of the largest and most appreciative that has ever attended a school function. The next day, Thursday, the annual Senior-Faculty baseball game was played. It was a fine bright day, classes were excused at two o’clock and everybody went over to the field. There is always a full attendance at this game,for no matter how many of them you have seen, it is always a great sight to watch those “theoretical profs.” go out on the field and show the Seniors how to play the National Game. This time it was a walk-away for [ m I CYCLE.. the Faculty, which team showed the more constant gains and a whirlwind finish. Friday, one of the “Little Five” league games (Armour vs. Monmouth at Armour) was played, in which our boys, with Carver and Kahn as the battery, nailed the opponents by a four to one score. This result, of course, brought great joy to the Tech., as did also the game with Knox on the following day. This time with Hamilton pitching, the visitors were beaten eleven to one. The week would have been a success if it had stopped right there, but won- ders were not to cease; for the Junior From had been ar- ranged for that even- ing by P. K. Brown. As most of you know F. K. is “some ar- ranger” and he sure- ly did himself credit on this occasion for the Colonial Club, the sweetest of mu- sic and the classiest of programs gave this affair an enviable reputation. The Fui.ckum spoke highly of the Week in an editorial giving much credit to the Marshals. [ r, ] CLA55 °f yi4. © Junior UJrrU—1913 Marshals of the Week Fred D.

IRahfir Hmttijs Radical X was founded by thirteen Freshmen in the Spring of 1900 with the purpose of promoting real college life at the Institute, and more partic- ularly to quicken class rivalry and to promote class and Institute undertak- ings. The chipping of an '04 on the nickel ore block in front of the Mission first served to introduce the Society to the student body—and to some other people. The organization has flourished greatly down through these thirteen years, and during its life has engineered two comic operas, a number of “min- strels”, and banquets and dances galore. In the days of the Rush the Radies were also prime movers in this inter-class combat. The organization is now tending toward purely social lines and the big event of the year for Radies is the Alumni Banquet held sometime during the early Spring. The old Union used to be the favored banquet hall, but the Great Northern has lately grown in popularity for this annual gorging of roast pig and rye bread. Last year’s banquet was held there on Friday evening, May 6th, and the Alumni were much in evidence during the evening's hilarity. Thirteen courses made up the repast, and between the courses the men indulged freely in Institute and Radic songs and yells. The toast list included the following: Eustace Yynne, Sam Todd, Bill Dunn, Bronk Adams, R. S. Claar, John Aeberly and Roy Spindler. Spec Kiley presided at the board and in a little talk outlined the history and growth of Radical X. The two officers for the ensuing year were chosen.

It was an ex- cellent affair and the Class may rest as- sured that the standard they have main- tained throughout their college career, was certainly upheld. Everybody was there. At least it seemed that way from the balcony and certainly was that way on the floor. The programs themselves were exceptionally unique, and the Committee deserves a word for the original idea embodied in them. They were entitled, “The Annual Prom, an Episode of College Life in Twenty Chapters,” the author being the Senior Class of Armour Institute, and the Edition, a De Luxe (limited) going to press Dec. 6, 1912. Then followed the twenty dances, which were entitled “Chapters;” and each Chapter was headed with the musical number played for that particular dance. As there was but one chapter to a page, space was left for names and notes by which the memories of the evening might be recalled when college days have long since ceased to be. The patronesses for the evening included Mesdames Raymond, Monin, Smith, Phillips, Freud and Leigh. The Committee in charge consisted of P. K. Brown, Chairman, with W. C. Buttner, H. Walin and A. Woerner, as Committeemen. JUNIOR HOP On Friday, Feb. 7, 1913, the second big class dance, that of the Juniors, was held at the Colonial Club, 4315 Grand Blvd. The fellows had not yet settled down to strenuous work in the new semester, and although the crowd was not equal to that of the Senior’s the floor was just comfortably filled. [ 17 7 ] CYCLE. The programs brought out a new feature in the thin mother-of-pearl covers, which set off to good advantage the design of a block A, with the '14 numerals, which were embossed in gold on the front leaf. The Club was prettily decorated with ferns and palms. The Committee in charge consisted of Roscoe Zook, Chairman, together with F. L. Brewer, J. M. Emslie, H. I). Roller and H. O. Sexsmith. C. S. A. RECEPTION AND DANCE The most elaborate social event that has been attempted in many a day which concerned directly our entire Institute, was the reception and dance of the Chicago School of Architecture, under the immediate auspices of the Atelier, on Friday evening, January ITth. The only thing connected with the function which is to be lamented was the conflict occuring between it and the semester finals. One of the most important Junior subjects was scheduled for eight the next morning, and many Juniors were literally forced to stay away. The Atelier Chairman estimated that those conflicts caused the absence of about forty couples. The dance was a formal affair, and held in the Blue Room of the Hotel La Salle. Approximately one hundred couples waltzed and tango’d” to Anderson’s excellent music. The following Patronesses accepted the invita- tion to act in that capacity, though not all could actually be present: Mes- dames Ayer, Bartlett, Dunne, French, Iiamill, Hutchinson, Logan, McCor- mick, Monin, Raymond, Ryerson, Shattuck, Shaw, and Tuttle. The above list includes the wives of men prominent in many walks of life, especially in architecture and engineering. Special features were arranged by the committee, of which one was a Cabaret song or two by Miss Mary Garden, and another the appearance of some of the Irish players, who have recently been showing at the Fine Arts Theater. Of the former feature much has been erroneously printed in the local papers. The fact of the matter is, Miss Garden was so nearly ex- hausted after her evening’s operatic work in Tosca” that she could not possibly appear at the Reception, as she had promised. The Irish Players were there, however, and delighted the audience with their dancing. The programs were bound in black leather covers, which had small, sterling silver '1'” squares riveted fast to the leather. The Atelier was spelled out along the shank of the square, while the head bore the year 1913. At the junction of the shank and head was the design of the Atelier pin, raised on the metal. The following men served as the committee: A. A. Woerner, Chair- man, assisted by A. D. Gibbs, H. O. Sexsmith, E. F. Schiffers, H. C. Holt, J. C. Bischof, and H. C. Stanley. r i rs ] CLASS °f 191 4. SOPHOMORE DANCE Contrary to the expectation of many, the Sophomore Dance was a real success. The crowd was just right, not too large nor too small; and the new order of things at the Hyde Park Masonic Temple seemed to displace all longing for the old haunts of the Colonial Club. The decorations, programs, and favors most assuredly did credit to our “Progressives,” the Class of ’15. It is certain that they did some extremely good advertising in presenting each lady with an “Armour ’15” pennant. The programs were bound in dark green unfinished leather with gilt title, and were the best looking ones of the whole season. The inserts may be removed, and the cover then forms a mighty useful card folder. The Patronesses included the wives of five prominent members of the Institute factulty. The Committee in charge were H. P. Sherwood, Chairman, H. E. Anning, G. R. Bartling, L. S. Downey, and E. W. Kratz. FRESHMAN DANCE On Friday evening, April 11, 11) PI, the Fresh- man Dance was held in the Louis Sixteenth and Grey Rooms of the Hotel Sherman. The facilities f the Hotel for functions of this sort arc of course beyond question; and the crowd was very well taken care of. The Freshman Committee had made arrangements to have the Crystal Ball Room thrown open as an “overflow” but this proved un- necessary. The Freshmen took a very commendable step in accepting a ball-room so centrally located, and the many Institute men and alumni living on the north and west sides ap- preciated the change. The personnel of the Committee was: Chairman, R. S. Miesse, E. R. Fames, G. B. Perlstein, B. L. Roos, and J. A. Sullivan. [ 79 ] CLASS °f 1514. THE. CYCLE.

METHOD OF ELECTING FULCRUM STAFF CHANGED Paper Has Successful Year Under New System ANNOUNCEMENT was made in May 1912, that the old system of choosing the managing staff of the Fulcrum, which amounted to little more than each staff pick ng men to run the paper for the following year, was to be discarded. Under the new plan each class, excluding seniors, placed in nomination one man for Editor-in- Chief and one for Business Manager, and, from the six men thus chosen, the Execu- tive Council made a final choice of Editor-in-Chief, Business Manager and Managing Editor. This scheme will probably be made permanent. During the 1912-T3 season the circulation of the FULCRUM has been brought to somewhat above the normal per cent of registration in the college. In order to restore confidence, which had been shaken by the appearance of only five numbers during 11-12, the September 1912 issue was rushed to press as fast as the staff could be organized. The determination on the part of the management to give the subscribers their money’s worth seems to have been appreciated by the student body. An added feat- ure to the paper in the form of an “Engineer’s Column,” met with immediate approval. The Fulcrum contains an accurate account of all happenings in the college and prints college literature, wit. art, opinion and information of general college interest.

Bradford The chrysallis of the Armour Engineer was formulated in the minds of the professors and sen- iors who saw the need of such a publication in Sep- tember of 1908. In January, 1909, under the man- agement of Tracy Y. Simpson as Editor-in-Chief and E. V. McKarahan as Business Manager the first volume was published. Since then two issues have been printed each year, one in January and one in May. As stated by its originators, “The Engineer is intended to be a record of the progress f. t. bangs attained at Armour, and of the things her graduates are doing.” A fact which proves the increase of popularity and its worth to outsiders is shown by the number of times the Engineer is quoted in other Technical magazines. The Engineer presents treatises written by the professors and alumni of the Tech as well as those written by the under- graduates. The Staff consists of a senior Editor- in-Chief and a senior Business Manager; each one receiving his tuition for the work done on the book. This is in itself an indication of the value of the magazine to the Institute. [ 190 ] J. I). BRADFORD THE. CYCLE.

The object in creating this organization is best expressed by its constitu- tion, viz: “—promotion of fellowship and good will among the members; and to keep alive their interest in affairs at Armour Institute of Technology. The organization began soon after the graduation of the class of 1897 and anyone who has watched the growth during all or a period of this time by attendance at the meetings or otherwise will admit the sturdiness of this pioneer Armour organization. The sturdiness is shown at every angle: loyalty; numbers; fellowship and goodwill; interest in Alma Mater, and influence. The membership in the association is of three classes: honorary, active and associate. Honorary members are nominated and elected by vote of the Association. Active members must be graduates of Armour Institute of Technology and the associate members must have completed at least two years in the College of Engineering of A. I. '1'. The active members at present on the roll number 730 and the associate 55. The honorary members number nine and have by word or deed shown in the past their interest, friendship and loyalty to the Association. BOARD OF MANAGERS WUEHRMAN HILLER NAGELSTOCK PERRY RICE PUTT G R El FEN H A GEN H HUGH LING [ m ] Owing to the increasing numbers in the organization the actual business is carried on as far as possible by the Board of Managers, which consists of the officers of the association and nine members. The nine members are elected for three year terms, three being elected each year. This creates a perpetual organization of the business end of the association. Two meetings are held during the year, a reunion during the week pre- ceding Christmas, and the other meeting just before graduation exercises. At the latter the members of the graduating class are welcomed into the organization and the ticket of officers for the next year prepared by the nominating committee is voted upon. A comparatively new but important phase of the association’s work is furnished by the Scholarship Loan Fund. The fund is formed from the life membership dues to the association at $20.00 per member, or by voluntary contributions, and the money thus received is loaned to students requiring financial assistance while studying. The obligation carries with it a nominal interest rate, which goes to the general fund of the association. Over twenty of the Alumni have taken out life memberships in the association, and judg- ing from the number of inquiries received, this number will be doubled within the next year. The association co-operates with The Armour Engineer in sending notices, in keeping track of Alumni addresses which have been lost and in furnishing Alumni notes to a new department of the Armour Engineer, an arrangement which is proving mutually beneficial, and which promises even greater benefits. The value of the Alumni Association is considerable, as it offers a direct means of communication between the public and the Institute. It also is of no small value to the graduate, and the Association extends a most cordial invitation to the new members and endeavors to show its interest in a prac- tical and substantial way.

COACH JOHN JOSEPH SCHOMMER The biggest event to be recorded in Armour athletics is the naming of J. J. Schommer as coach. Schommer was placed in charge of track last spring, his presence in the Institute probably being a large determining factor in the return of this branch of athletics to A. I. T. Last fall he was signed to take charge of basketball, track and baseball. Schommer is an Armour alumnus—’12, and a graduate of the University of Chicago, '09. He won national fame in athletics while at the U. of C. mak- ing the varsity in baseball, basketball, football and track, establishing four individual records in track. He made All-Western center in basketball three consecutive years, and All- Western end in football during his senior college year. 1 le was also captain of the basketball team which won the World’s Olympic Y. M. C. A. Champion- ship at St. Louis in 1905, and has been on the coaching staff at the U. of C. The lively interest now being evinced in athletics at the Tech, and the marked improvement which is showing in team and individual work can be laid at Schommer's door. Those in control certainly made a helpful move in securing John’s services. [ 7.9.S’ ] CLASS °f 1514- BASE BALL J. Lindquist, Captain C. Spencer, Captain Elect D. Hamilton W. Kann A. Carver H.

SPENCER At the close of the season last spring the base- ball team elected the star third baseman as captain for the coming year. The members of the squad thus showed that they appreciated his good base running and timely hits. Great things can be expected of him with all of last year’s squad back of him and the valu- able assistance of Schommer’s coaching. DON HAMILTON Don Hamilton, the mainstay of the college base- ball team is one of the many seniors who made the athletics at Armour what it is. He is the star pitcher of the team and has held this capacity undisputed for the last three years, besides being a member of the basket ball team. To him no one can give more credit than he has earned. His loss next year will be felt immensely. A 111 1 n H. F. ISRAEL Israel is one of the few Academy athletes who is still in the game, and playing better ball every year. The second sack is “Issy’s” favorite spot on the dia- mond, but he certainly loves to whale the ball as well as tag a base-runner out on a steal. He plays a heady, steady game, and certainly merits the honor of the Institute emblems he has won. [ 200 ] CLASS °f 1%4. P. A. COPENHAVER Four years in the game with two seasons on the squad and two “A’s” won, is Phil Copenhaver’s rec- ord. With his graduation the Basket Ball team loses a center who never shirked his position, and that’s saying a good deal for that place. In whatever other phases of the game “Cope” may deserve praise, lie was one of the best fighters the Tech ever had. He could be relied on to scrap his man as long as he had any strength left, and it mattered not how big the man was. It was through his determination and ab- solute reliability that “Cope” made good. N. VANDERKIEFT Yanderkieft is one of the many Seniors who suc- ceeded in landing a first on the college track team and thus win his “A.” He put the shot further than any other man in the Lake Forest meet and showed that he was worthy of wearing the emblem awarded by the college to the winners. His win in this meet helped us to acquire our large score. n b CHAS. KOPALD Kopald was one of the main weight men on the Tech track squad last spring. His work was very good when we consider the fact that he has had very little experience and that track was only taken up again last spring with no work of its kind the season before. His loss to the team by graduation will be felt and it will be hard to get a man who will be able to do his work as well as he did it. [ 201 ] CYCLE. 1912 To Captain Joe Lind- quist, star first baseman and leading hitter in the Little Five College Conference, great credit is due. His thorough knowledge of the game combined with his hitting and good pitching of the slab artists were the principal factors in the winning of the games. Outdoor training for the season was delayed on account of the wet weather but real practice was even- tually commenced on Monday, April 8th. Nearly all of the 1911 squad were again among the candidates for positions on the team. The bulk of the pitching was thrown upon the shoulders of Don Hamilton and “Bugs” Carver with H. Maddox assisting whenever called upon. On Saturday, April 13, with very little practice the team went to Naperville to play North Western Col- lege. They met with defeat after putting up a brand of ball which can not be reconciled with the games they played later on in the season. The next game played was with Hahneman College on Ogden Field. 'I'he Tech took this game at a score of 12-10 after quite a slugging match. H. Houle and 11. Israel were among the new men on the squad. Errors by the infielders were mainly responsible for the number of runs the Hahneman squad received. Probably the best fought game of the year was the one between Beloit and Armour at Beloit. Don Hamilton, pitching for Armour, struck out nine men, and Fucik, his opponent, succeeded in fanning the same number. CLASS °f 191-4. Here it was that Joe Lindquist’s timely hits proved valuable. Twice he started the inning with a two-bagger; the first time he was driven home by a hit off D. Hamilton’s bat, and the second time Israel succeeded in bring- ing him home. Armour won the next two games, which were played with Monmouth and Knox Colleges respectively. Carver struck out eleven Monmouth players and Don Hamilton struck out sixteen Knox men. On the three-day trip down-state Armour lost the first game to Illinois Wesleyan because of the absence of a pitcher. Carver had missed the train and came only after the game was half over. The second game of the trip, which was with Monmouth, went twelve innings and was finally won by Monmouth by the score of 1-0. The next game was won by Armour in seven innings by a score of 2-0. The Tech team next went to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where they played one game with Kalamazoo Normal and one with Western State Normal. The first game was won by the great pitching of “Bugs” Carver. The second game went to the Western State Normal to the tune of 6-0. On May 21 Lake Forest trimmed Armour for the first time and repeated it on May 28. It was the defeats handed out by Lake Forest that shoved Armour from first place into second place. Over-confidence was one of the main reasons why the team lost the two games to the tail-cnders. This year under the leadership of the new coach, John Schommer, the team expects to fight to the last ditch for the coveted first place. Since all of last year’s squad arc back and some new men in the freshmen class will be out, the chances for the banner seem fair.

The “Profs” simply walked around the bases and knocked “Dutch” Oehne's pitching all over the lot. “Mac,” pitching for the Faculty, threw a good game allowing only seven hits and striking out seven Seniors. McCormack and John Schommcr were the star hitters for each side. Prof. Wilcox livened things up a bit by a rather unique demonstration that it was possible to progress from first to second by rolling. Faculty Position Seniors H.

Not being content with carrying off the baseball championship for the third consecutive year, they kept right at their good work and succeeded in “salting down” the track and basketball ser- ies. The title of “Champs” in baseball was acquired through the defeat of the Freshmen in a rather interesting game which resulted in a 9-4 score. In track the Juniors were forced to the limit to win. The work of the Freshmen was very commendable, and the fact that they carried off more first places than the victors proves that we have some strong point winners to work with this spring. The work of Landis, Katzinger and Sullivan deserves especial mention. The basketball series brought the same two classes together again as contenders for the top “rung of the ladder.” The Juniors met defeat in their first game with the Freshmen, but that only “started” them and from this game on they were unbeatable. However, in giving “credit where credit is due” we must say that all the games were hard fought and resulted in close scores.

It is true, however, that in the latter part of the season, the team pulled together wonderfully and scored their most decisive vic- tories. The season was finished on February 27 on the home floor when the wearers of the crim- son,” from Monmouth, went down before the Tech by a big score. The team won the middle position in the Little Five Conference for the season, Lake Forest placing first on a higher percentage than Beloit, who lined up in second place. Monmouth and Knox followed the Tech in the order named. Prospects were indeed bright at the season’s be- ginning, with Schommer newly appointed as coach; and with Heritage, Copenhaver, Carver, Emslie, Hamilton and Hallstein,—all Basket Ball “A” men,—back in college. Hamilton, however, was forced to choose between Base Ball and Basket Ball because of a heavy Senior year, and he chose the former. Emslie was found to be conditioned from the Second Semester of his Sophomore year, while Hallstein in an early inter-class game, wrenched his knee so badly that he was out for the rest of the season. On the other hand, the same inter-class series produced a number of Freshmen stars, three of whom afterwards made good:—McDonnell, a Lane [ 210 ] CLASS °f lJL4r. Tech man, Sullivan, from St. Ignatius, and Katzinger, of Shattuck School. Of these “Sully played the entire season at forward and proved one of the best scrappers in the game, with an unlimited supply of “pep” and aggressive- ness at all times. Capt. Heritage and McDonnell were holding down the defensive side of the floor until the latter sustained a fracture of his right ankle while playing the return game at Northwestern College. “Mac would probably have played the guard position all year, and so was awarded his emblem with the other five regulars. Katzinger now filled the vacancy, and worked in the offense combinations especially well. His baskets were prac- tically all the long range, heart-breaking variety, and he should prove an exceptional man next season. Carver was the smallest man on the team, but with his wonderful speed, “Bugs fully made up for any deficiency there. The dope-sheet of the score book shows Carver as the highest point maker throughout the eight Conference games, and also lowest man on “personal fouls. Copenhaver, center, has played his last game as an “A” man, and is spoken of elsewhere in the CYCLE. Heritage captained the team from right guard and was one of the best in the Conference. His offensive work was responible for a great percentage of Armour’s scores and with this man playing next year, the chances for a championship are greatly increased. The team seemed to have a peculiar faculty of playing great ball for one half, and then of letting down in the second. Coach Schontmer finally succeeded in remedying the matter during the latter half of the season. The first Conference game had to be played at Armour Square, and the advan- tage of their own gym,—generally conceded to be at least worth ten points,— was denied the men. The first half was fought 11-10 in Beloit’s favor, and the second half proved the above defect for the first time, the contest going to Beloit by a margin of twelve points. Lake Forest, here, the first real home game, went to the visitors by a fourteen point margin, the Tech again weak- ening in the second half. The score at Beloit must be in all justice ac- credited to the sixth man on the Beloit team,—the referee. He was the worst proposition the team found anywhere in the Conference, and the in- cident only goes to show what need there is of the systematizing and censor- ing of Little Five Officials, as in the Big Nine. Knox was next defeated on the home floor by four points after three men had gone out on personals. Carver starred with nine baskets, while Capt. Heritage secured five before being ruled out. In the Lake Forest game, there, Coach Kennedy’s men were badly scared when the first half ended 15-14 in their favor. A defeat would have meant the losing of the cham- pionship which they had won by this time. But Carver’s absence proved too great a handicap and the contest went to Lake Forest. The “southern trip” netted a decisive victory over Monmouth by 29 points, and the most heart-breaking loss of the whole season—at Knox. The Tech team had just come from Monmouth, and were not up on their toes as they were the night previous. The first half was the Tech’s, ending 10-8. About five minutes after play was resumed, Heritage and his forward went out on personals, with the Tech five points to the good. Ilockenberger went in as guard and played well. Knox now pulled up steadily, and amid the greatest tumult, won by three points in the last minute of play. The last game with Monmouth was won easilv bv a 44-19 score.

Of these 194, there were 81 baskets and 32 free-throws thrown; of the 229, 99 baskets and 31 free-throws. Total points were scored individually as follows, including personals: Players Total Points.

CAPT. HOLDEN Holden, Captain of the Tech track team, 1912, is the veteran of track at A. I. T., and one of the ablest and most experienced men on the squad. To him can be accredited much of the team’s success. TRACK REVIEW The Board of Athletic Control decided last spring that track should be re-instated at Armour. Accord- ingly the field was put into condition, G. L. Opper was appointed track manager and Holden was elected Cap- tain; then meets were arranged for. John J. Schommcr took hold of athletics at A. I. T. for the first time, and succeeded in bringing out every available bit of track material. During the preliminary workouts the track was well populated. By the weeding out process a tentative team was obtained. The first real trial of strength was in a dual meet at Lake Forest, resulting in a close defeat for A. I. T.’s somewhat green men. At the return meet, staged May 17 at Ogden Field, Lake Forest pulled an- other narrow first, the final score being 74-62, but the Tech demonstrated that it possessed a real track team. King and Kopald started. The relay race, going to Armour, was a thriller, with King running a wonderful race. A. I. '1'. scored a slam in the high jump. The ten men picked to work for Armour in the Little Five meet at Beloit, on May 25, were Barr, Wood, Holden, King, Vanderkieft, Kopald, Dodge, Clark, Walsh and Farrar. Knox took the meet, with Armour landing fourth. A. I. T.’s points came by a tie between Wood, Barr and a Knox man for second and third in the high jump, and Vanderkieft’s third in the shot put. Some hard luck was experienced by the Tech team. Kopald missed qualifying in the discus by two inches, while King, easily the second best man for the sprints at the meet, was set against Martin, the best man there, in both the 100 and the 220. The relay banner came to Armour largely through King’s work, Holden, Dodge, Clark and King outclassed the other teams of the Little Five, and caused much rejoicing at the Tech by their victory. [ ] CYCLE.. The 1912 experience was expected to prove of great aid this season, but this looked for effect has been somewhat lessened by the fact that some of last year’s best point getters arc not back. Schommer, however, has the jump on things this year, so the results of the seasons track are awaited with great interest. TRACK MEET ARMOUR vs LAKE FOREST Event First Second Third Record 100 yd.

This class is very import- ant and ought to be one of the several branches of sport and physical develop- ment followed at the college. No exercise brings into play all the muscles of the body in a more thorough manner, and none is more interesting than wrestling. An opportunity has been given to Armour Institute students to take this valuable and fascinating exercise, and the way it has gained favor among them has been highly encouraging. r ms i McK EAGE SI EDENSTRANG THAL NEW MAN HOCK ENBURGER THINK AUS PIMSTEI.N’ SPRINGER SCHAFFER O'GRADY CHI PM AN v 6i io sevno CLASS °f yi4.

The “Tech,” a striving lad is he, Who works with both his hands; And as for the grey “dope” in his head, He has all the brands. His uncut hair is gnarled, and long His face is like a bush; And o’er his brow the furrows plow, He earns so little “cush” That he has to wink at probity, For he owes the whole d------push. In the afternoon, from two to five, You can hear his hammer ring As he vainly strikes the cooling iron, And then he starts to sing, Like the teamster to his horses— That music! a la Bing! He goes on Sunday to the church, And sits down near the door. He hears the parson begin to preach, And soon he starts to snore; The poor lad wakes and tries his best, But again he “saws” once more. It sounds like H----to those around With thoughts on Paradise, A kindly brother pokes his ribs, And sleepily he sighs, With reluctant hand he drives, old Morpheus from his eyes. Owing—knowing—snoozing, Onward through school he goes; Each morning sees his debt increase, Each evening, more it grows. But here’s the point: his lesson’s learned, He’s earned his night’s repose. “Thanks, thanks, to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou hast taught!” CLASS °f yi4.

You’re not near it.

Gentlemen and those among you: look, look, we are going to feed them! What are we going to feed them? Rods, chains, pins, guns and bridge abut- ments; bending moments, railroad ties and freshmen. Coagulate, gentle- men and I will give the topography of our ring. The gentlemen on the left is the affable only original sleep producer in captivity. He is the only agent Morpheus has travelling with this mammouth production. The stunt will be to construct railways to the home of the god of Sleep. In thirty seconds—think of it, gentlemen—in the short space of thirty seconds he will construct this railroad and transport you to the Garden of Dreams, where you will be the captive of “dewy-feathered sleep” until the sound of the class bell releases you. Next in line, is the wonderful Wells, “Army’s” only competitor. He will run an aerial line from here to the land that knows no rest. There will be something doing every minute of the time. I will leave it to you to choose which of these rides to take. The great feature of this ring, gentlemen, is the great pair, Dean and Penn. They will survey the river Styx for the purpose of finding a suitable point at which to bridge the river. They will then tear down the Bridge of Sighs and will construct it across the Styx. The object of their work is this: It is a fact accepted by most people both in and out of the profession, that after an engineer has completed his work, he receives an invitation to go to hell. As we are not a skeptical class and have been trained to practice economy and to play the game safe, we have taken this means of putting one over Mr. Charon, who, because of a lack of competition has been able to demand enormous tolls from passengers bound for the land of fire and brim- stone. We are just about to start, gentlemen so don’t delay, Look! Look! We are going to feed them. Ring Three. Charges, Charges, Charges, but not a charge for you! We are going, gentlemen, going, NOW! Gentlemen, we are not a practical bunch, but with your kind attention, I will show you why there will be no charge for you in this ring. We are the only live attraction in this circus, in fact our exhibi- tion becomes so dangerously live, as to permit the possibility of lifelessness. However, gentlemen, don’t run away until you have seen our ring, then you will go home with a stride on your face. We have cornered the market on everything electrical. We have the juice of all the currents in creation and elsewhere. Our performers are kings of their kinds. Among them is Mr. Snow, who, strange to say, is a very warm-hearted man. He will exhibit a power plant designed by himself, a plant large enough to furnish all the heat and light used on this planet. It was due to Mr. Snow’s philanthropic nature, I [ 235 } CYCLE,. that he was led to build this plant. He feels that the sun needs a rest and he is confident that his scheme will enable Old Sol to lay off for an hour or two. In order to get to the sun and submit Mr. Snow’s proposition, Gilbert has built a jump spark coil which he will exhibit to you. His scheme is to use the sun and the Hag pole out on Ogden Field as the terminals of the coil. The messenger carrying the proposition will stand on top of the flag pole. The apparatus is then set to work. As soon as the messenger sees the spark racing up the pole, he will grab it, and when it jumps from the pole to the sun, Mr. Messenger will be carried along. What’s that? How will he get back? Why, he will slide down a sunbeam. As I said before, gentlemen, there will be no charge to you in this ring. First, because we have all the Nichols we want and secondly, this man Nich- ols has captured all the charges in existence—both positive and negative—and after weighing them he will burn them up. Thus we will not be bothered with charges, so step right in, gentlemen—it’s free. Ring Four. Nitric, Sulphuric, Ammonia and Slop, Comical Engineering always on the top. Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Hut gents and skirts, let’s get down to business. List, I will introduce to you a wonderful man, namely myself, for who else might I be. I am a wonderful actor, if you don’t believe it go down to the Toot and hear the fellows on the fourth floor back a-yelling, “Say, fellows, let’s find out, let’s go and see Mack,” Mcorm-act they mean. ’Snough for me.

Ring Five. Ladies and gentlemen, it grieves me indeed that you should be forced to listen to the other barkers as they call themselves, spieling in such a rough tone of voice. I fear me they are not so well trained. We therefore have our special building, which, as you can well see is fitted up in grandiloquent style, thank you professor, soft music. Ladies, I must inform you that we have the most intelligent summation of trained beings in our midst, notwith- standing anything said by those other rude persons to the contrary. I wish to introduce just a fine, well cultured man, if I do say it myself, pardon my blushing ladies, my powder is at home; all the architects use rice powder, don’t you know, old chappies. As I was going to say before I blushed, I wish to inform you people that you will see if, as Caesar aptly put it, “ you will loan me your ears and pocketbooks,” someone in the crowd was so rude as to suggest Caesar did not say this, but that Mark Anthony said it. I know this to be a fabrication. For did not one of Anthony’s daughters fall from Julius’ house one day and almost slipped when Mark cried Caesar, Julius, Caesar, that is he mean for Jules to catch her. We also have with us a verdant gentleman who will sing and dance to the tune of, “Were select, were select, raw, raw, raw, Architect.” They tell the story of Jones and Green meeting a girl and quarreling as to who should take her to the dance when a pig of Armour come up and slapping him on the back remarked, Oster, Oster- green, which Green promptly did. Clevah, by Jove. But let’s go back and view the others. I will not explain any further what we should show in yonder tent, but must ask you to deposit $75, just $75, no fees whatsoever at the Toot door and come in and see our trained performers, no spoofing what- soever. See Rebori, two fine fellows, Reb-or-E, a fine team and see them fling the highland fling and eat cream puff without smearing it all over. Come, gentlemen, pardon me ladies, I should have put you first, come and watch our stars perform in the ring, really a treat, old chappie, no spoofing, no really. Ring Six. Clang, clang, bing, bang! Hurry, hurry, hurry! No, Freshie, this isn’t a lunch counter, this is the fire department. We are the prima fire eaters! Mr. Finnegan and I are the only performers in this ring, but look at our names and be confident. We have grappled with the burning questions of the day—and of tomorrow. Man has made a mistake in bothering himself about trivial problems pertaining only to his temporary life, here on the surface. We have gone deeper for our theme because we believe that in our after life we must, of necessity, go down below with problems of everlasting endurance. With this in view and looking to our comfort in our future home, we have designed an automatic sprinkler system to be installed in the palace of His Satanic Majesty. We are frank to admit, however, that we are a [ 28 7 ] fcJhlE. CYCLE.. bit skeptical as to the success of our plan, for granting that we could install our equipment and get it working, we fear that when the water plays on the everlasting fires, such a volume of steam will be created that the roof will be blown off of the place. The adversaries of Bob Ingersoll, realizing the possible outcome of such a catastrophe, have urged us to seek other methods. We have therefore hit upon another plan which we believe will prove more popular and successful. It is this. We have taken the human soul and after many elaborate experiments upon it, have turned out a finished product, which promises to be the sole of souls on the market. It is a com- position of absolutely fire-proof materials. For the consolation of the down- trodden student and the henpecked husband, I might remark that we have so designed this soul that it cannot be worn by the relentless and over- bearing college professor nor by the wife and omnipresent mother-in-law. It has the vitality and life of the old fashioned soul and in addition is in- destructible. This sounds like an automobile tire advertisement, I know, but if you gentlemen will step right in, we’ll show you the goods. “All the world loves a lover.” Do you? [ 238 ] CLASS °f l%4r. HEY.'

Note: Many of the men who will go to make up the new Congress are rural gentlemen wholly unsophisticated in national politics, who have tobog- ganed into Congress on the Democratic landslide. In view of this fact and in consideration of the attitude of past Democratic Congresses towards national defense, a speech similar to the following is not at all unlikely.) Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 15, 1913, by Congress- man Corntassel of Hickory Corners, Missouri. “Mister Speaker an’ feller representatives: One day last hayin’ season when I wuz down to Si Mildew’s groc'ry, I heerd tell uv this tew-gunboat program, an’ I allowed then thet ef I ever come to represent our deestrict in Washin’ton, I’d do ever’thing in my e-e-ternal power to make Congress act sensible 'bout this question. Ever’ night artcr milkin’ the cyows, Mirandy an’ me ’ud get down our pile 0’ old almanacs an’ the kid’s hist’ry an’ geogerphv an’ study the hull blamed affair. Now, I’ll allow thet the’ little scheme we all concocted mought sound some’at irradical to yew folks down here ’cause yer so allfired used to doin’ things in a cut an’ dried fashion, jest th’ same’s us folks plow a furrer day arter day; but when yew-all hev’ set up nights studyin’ like Mirandy an’ me did, then maybe th’ light 0’ intelligence ’ll dawn on yew like it hez on us. In the fust place, we disagree with them critturs in th’ Senate house as to th’ essentiability uv buildin’ tew boats. As t’ why we think thet-away, it haint necessary t’ say right off—that’ll come out later on. We allaw as how one will cover all th’ present needs uv this glorious republic. Regardin’ th’ structure of this boat, we hev arrived at th’ conclusion that these here kid industries hev been reapin’ a big harvest uv th’ common peepul's money fer tew long a time, an’ thet it’s time to’ bring a halt to th’ performance. Therefore, Mirandy an' me figgered thet instead 0’ lettin’ Mr. Rockerfeller an’ Mr. Carnegie git rich on this boat, same’s they been adoin’ on all th' others, we’d build this one out 0’ wood! In th’ second place, in regyard t’ th’ place w'here this boat is t' be placed, we were unanimous in agreein’ thet th’ coast states like Noo York an’ San Francisco oughter share th’ benefits uv a great navy with th’ inland states like Missouri. Followin’ out this line 0’ argyment we jedged thet Missouri had a claim tew th’ next gunboat. Now, right back 0’ Josh Higgins’ barn is a moughty fine little lake ’bout a quarter mile wide an’ twice thet much long. It haint named on th’ map, but folks down thar call it Higgins’ Lake. This would be a mos’ convenient place fer thet new boat, an’ I larned from ol’ man Higgins who fit in th’ Civil War thet it wuz a stragetic position fer defendin’ Hickory Corners from attack. (Applause from the Hickory Corners delegation in the gallery.) One 0’ th’ greatest objections tew a gunboat is th’ fact thet in time 0’ peace an’ tranquilness th’ durn things air as useless as a ’tater bug, an’ so Mirandy an’ me hit outer a scheme fer usin’ th’ ol’ gunboat in peace time. Here it be: In th’ reg’ler ol’-fashioned boats which hev been built heretofer, there’s alius [ 51 ] im CYCLE.. a pile o' money spent on big enjines t’ make th’ boat go lickety-split through th’ water. Now when this new man-o’-war is set in Higgins' Lake, thar’ll be no need uv sech wasteful contraptions ’cause th’ lake is tew small fer t’ let th’ boat go galavantin' t’ furrin’ shores. I take thet t’ be a right smart advantage over any other place. Instead o’ th’ speed enjines we plan t’ hev a new kind o’ machine in th’ boat. It’ll be som’at like th’ thrashin’ machines thet go ’round th’ country in harvest season on’y it’ll be a lot bigger. Then when time comes t’ do th’ thrashin’ we’ll build a big bridge out t’ th’ gunboat an’ all th’ teams kin drive over this bridge onter th' boat whar they’ll hev thar grain thrashed free o’ charge, an’ then they kin drive back agin. We figger thet this free thrashin’ '11 be a great boon tew Hick’ry Corner farmers an’ indireck’ly tew th’ hull nation, cause in this way th’ farmers kin sell thar grain a durned sight cheaper an’ help redooce th’ cost o’ livin’. In winter time we kin use th’ boat fer a meetin’ house an’ fer a place t’ give Saturday night hops. As fer gittin’ th’ gunboat t’ Higgins’ Lake we studied thet out tew. It’ll be built in pieces jest like these here knock-down summer cottages an’ kin be stuck t’gether arter she gits t’ th’ lake. Gentlemen, I most sartainly hope ye’ll give this plan yer full considera- tion, an’ if thar’s anything ’bout it thet ye aint quite sure uv, jest come ’round t’ my room an’ it'll be explained.

If that didn’t answer, I’d give her a sound thrashing.” And then Marion fainted. Now they never speak as they pass, and the man who was talking to his farrier about a balky horse, says that anybody who will advise a man to put his arms around the neck of an obstreperous horse and whisper words of love in its ear ought to be hanged to the nearest lamp post. ’Tis Washing Day in Menominee Town Once Again. “Vale” Record poor—Feeling “Punk.” Yellow note—Fear a “Flunk.” Worried look—Rumpled hair— Poor exam—Vacant chair.

For brilliancy of design, quantity of ouput and useless- ness of invention, American inventors lead the world. Take, for instance, rat traps. Four weeks ago, the Assistant Sur- geon General of the Public Health Service, in an unguarded moment, announced that he was searching for a new kind of rat trap to be adopted as an official trap, in its war against bubonic plague. As a result he now has 75 models for rat traps, together with about 50 drawings and suggestions for traps. One of the inventions is a box trap lined with mirrors. The rat is supposed to be attracted within by his own re flection and to wander about twirling his mustache until he encounters a spring which releases a door and shuts him ✓4 S7F£L FRAME jn simpler invention is the sneeze trap. This consists of a pasteboard tube lined with cotton batting. Cayenne pepper and snuff is sprinkled over the cotton and the tube placed over the rat hole. The inventor predicted that the rat would poke his head out of the hole, take a sniff and then sneeze himself to death. Another invention consisted of an iron pot with a rock placed in the middle. The pot was to be filled with water until the top of the rock looked like an island. A piece of cheese was then to be floated on the water, with the idea that the rat would jump for it, fall into the water and then climb upon the island. After this he would yell for help and all of his relatives would rush for assistance, jump over- board, and then kill one another fighting for a foothold on the rock. Still another inventor suggested the bran pail trap. In this, the surface of the pail of water was covered with bran, and board covered with bran was placed as a runway to the edge of the pail. The inventor predicted that the rat would eat his way to the edge of the water and then seeing what he thought was a sea of bran would plunge in head foremost, thus ending his romantic career. The simplest suggestion of all, and one which probably came from the keeper of a boarding house was to feed the rats on fried granulated cork after which they would lose their interest in mundane affairs, and would die of indigestion. This space re- served for Miesse; he always will be a baby.

SAY CATS ARE FULL OF ELECTRICITY NOW FOR INCATDESCENT LIGHTS “They put a cat in a gas tank at New Lon- don the other day to asphyxiate it, but the electricity in the cat ignited the gas and blew up the tank.” Squeeze the feline’s tail, my mother, Move her up an ohm, Rub the kitten with a mitten, Brighten up our home: String the cats around the parlor, These are cozy nights, Hear the purring, never blurring, Incat-descent lights. Schommer: Who shall pitch today ? Inviolate Bacon:—What did your boy learn at col- lege? Egbert:—Says he can’t tell me. Why not? Says it’s a secret. Nonsense!

An Armour Math Song Math when we were Freshmen, Math when we were Sophs, Math when we were Juniors, And then the damn stuff stops. We go to Doc’s classes for three long years, And then we think we’re Engineers. A FRESHMAN THERE WAS. (With most profound apologies to Rudyard Kipling.) A Freshie there was and he snroked his pipe (Even as you and I.) A “hank” o’ brier and a rubber bit; We smoked our pipe and didn’t care, But the “Freshie” he smoked because of a dare (Even as you and I.) Ah, the “bacca” he burned and the stomach he turned, And the ache of the head, unforseen, Belong to the Freshie, who did not know, And now we know he did not know, That “bacca” was bad for the “Green.” A Freshie there was and his money he spent (Even as you and I.) Nickles and dimes with a sure intent And the hearts of his mother and dad he rent, But a Freshie must spend his very last cent, (Even as you and I.) Ah, the toil he lost and the study he lost, And the “devilish” things he planned Never came off at “Smoker Eve,” And now we know why they never panned, The Freshie took sick and had to leave. The Freshie should have been stripped to his foolish hide, (Even as you and I.) Which the Sophs might have done when he went outside, And it’s also on record that the Sophomores tried ; So some of him lived, but the most of him died; (Even as you and I.) But it isn’t the ache of the heart and the head, That hurts to beat the band, It's coming to know that he could not smoke, And now we know that he could not smoke, And be able to walk or stand.

Scene: Recitation Room “F.” Thesis written by a chemist is entitled “Studies on the Electric Prepara- tion of Negative Collodial Oxygen Atoms, and the Liberation of Asymetric carbon Atoms from a Solid Solution of Crome Nickel Steel by means of a High Density, using Paper and Glass Electrodes.” Opening Curtain: Tetra and Bankrupt discovered waiting for C. P. Acid with Candidate. Enter Some Chemist bearing thesis, (bound) size of unabridged dictionary. Candidate nervously goes to board and proceeds to write structural for- mula of fantastic design. C. P. Acid enters, excuses his tardiness, then exam- ination proceeds by Tetra. Tetra: What is the difference between a primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol? Answer: A primary alcohol is one used in primeval times. A secondary is one used in medieval times and a tertiary is one used in modern times. It is thought that Peruna con- tains some of the quaterneray as well as some quintary al- cohols. (Loud applause from Acid.) Q. What is a keytone. A. Middle C. (Business of G. I. R. A.

Ladies and gentlemen:— We are here tonight to call your attention to a most excellent brain food. We come not as knockers of other brands but rather as pioneers in this land of the homeless and wealthy. We wish to introduce to you tonight a food which outrivals all others. Like all the other soups, etc., which have originated in the mind of this wonderful man this, his most excellent latest substitute for brains, meat, water, beer and so forth, will sell at a reasonable price. Ladies, and especially to you gents, we recommend this latest product originated by the marvelous doctor, Ph. D. is his title. Your boy, after taking a few doses of this wonderful food will be capable of building bridges, doing chemical analyses, etc., in fact, after a steady diet of a year, he will be a mathematic shark. I do not wish to take up your time, ladies and gents, just your money; so I will now introduce to you (no samples, given away), this brain food, we offer in condensed form, Campbell’s Brain Food, the Cal- culus at the selling price of $1.90. Oh, sir, thank you sir, two for $ .50, yes ma’am. Madam, please keep your hand away from that derivative, say buddie, don’t touch that sign, it will integrate you. We will now pass around for inspection as free samples Camp- bell's Differential Equations, for your inspection. Don’t hold them longer than four weeks. [ m ] CLASS °f 1914. M’ankee Doodle came to school, A-riding on a pony, Though it was against the rule, He called it “Equi Boni.” He took it into class one day, But woe the teacher spied it, He came and took the book away, Though Yankee tried to hide it. The moral of the tale, alas! Is known to every Armour student, To take your pony into class Is very far from prudent. Always keep it out of sight, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Pony riding isn’t right, But, “Literals” may be handy. Prof. Leigh’s, Continued from Time to Time. We've heard this numerous times and we have had it handed us more times. So we must print it. “You know, fellows, if you don’t study, you cannot possibly get thru, just like a carpenter. If he uses dull tools, he’ll build a rough house. Eh?” There once was a young man named Clyde, Who by chance at a funeral was spied, When asked who was dead, He laughingly said: I don’t know, I just came for the ride.” [ 267 J CYCL£l.

Right here, good folks, in the padded cell, Is the man who invented the college yell, A pitiful sight, as you all can see, And a doleful wreck of a man is he. He tears his hair with a Sis-boom-bah And rends the air with a Rah-rah-rah; And mumbles and jumbles and screams and cries— See his swelling throat and blood-shot eyes. All day he yells, and at night he howls, And up from his neck comes fearful growls, As though he remembers the campus where The din of the yelling filled the air. He grins at you with a vacant eye, And thinks you’re a brother of Pi Phi Si. He makes a sign that the fellows know and waits to see if it’s really so; Then he thinks it is, and his great lungs swell, With a rush of air and an old-time yell, And his cheeks puff out and his mouth swings wide, And a rush of sound from the far in- side Of his mighty chest, strikes on the air, And your heart beats fast with a dreadful fear; But you need not run from the fright- ful noise, For he’s only one of the “Rah-rah Boys.” [ 209 ] CYCLE,. f ve vs Wtr aw s A FOOTBALL HERO. He made a run around the end, Was tackled from the rear, The right guard sat upon his neck The fullback upon his ear. The center sat upon his legs, Two ends upon his chest, The quarter and the halfback then Sat down on him to rest. The left guard sat upon his head, The tackle on his face, The coroner was then called in To sit upon his case. Frosh: I think this is all right now, sir. Pa Reid: (After squinting under the square). No, not quite: its about 1-1,000,000,000,000,000 of an inch oft’. Dr. Harvey Wiley predicts that twenty years from now the world will be run by alcohol, wind and water; if he’ll cut out the wind and add a little sugar we’ll take some of his dope right now. Smith: How is your infinity?” (Affinity) Eckert: “Oh, She’s the limit.” Podunk Lawyer: Was the sore mule killed when the fast express hit him?” Si Dike: “No, but he didn’t eat for a month.” Podunk Lawyer : “According to that you owe the railway company about $40.00 for the fodder you saved.” MX QT WER “AUF I HR WOHL.” E CYCLE.
