Many articles have been written reciting the incidents con- nected with its foundation and development, and one has only to turn to the former “Annuals” of the Junior Class and various magazine articles to obtain any his- torical information desired. However interesting all these facts may be, and suffice it to say that they arc unusually so, the question of moment to those of us who have been in the service for many years is—What has been accomplished and what are we accomplishing today? Twenty-one years have passed since President Gunsaulus first addressed the students in Assembly and told them of the aim, purpose, and high ideals of the Institute, the responsi- bilities of which had so recently been placed in his hands by Mr. Philip D. Armour. Wonderful changes have come; the hearts of those in authority and the members of the faculty are no warmer, the outlook for service is no more enthusiastic now than then, but the training is more thorough, the equipment is more complete, the curriculum is more firmly established, and we know what we can accomplish best. What a change in general conditions—from the atmosphere incident to the attempt to teach both sexes, which, however, was distinctly the proper policy to pursue at that time, to that of the high grade college of engineering as the Armour Institute of Technology stands today! Many are the boys and girls who owe a successful career to the days spent in our preparatory and associated departments, but we believe that we are reaching as many students today and are preparing them better for the work of life in our college of engineering and evening classes than it was possible to do in the inexperienced days of long ago. There are several contributing reasons which may be used to explain why the Institute has attained a position among the first-rank colleges of the country. The main one is quality, for which the Institute has always stood and without which as its fundamental principle no enterprise, be it educational or otherwise, can hope to achieve success. Quality, of course, indicates thoroughness, a cardinal principle of the late Mr. Philip D. Armour, whose precept and example has always acted as an inspiration to those who were chosen to develop the plans of the institution which was his greatest pride. Cooperation is another characteristic which has had its share in bringing the work of the different departments of the Institute to their present high standard of efficiency. In a college of engineering, it is necessary that students enrolled in one department should receive instruction in certain studies in other departments, and it is this spirit of enthusiastic cooperation among instructors and students that assists greatly in obtaining the good results for which the Institute has attained distinction. 9 THE INSTITUTE Fortune has favored the Institute in many ways. It is located in a great me- tropolis and probably the greatest industrial city of the nation. Our students, as well as members of the faculty, have opportunities of keeping in intimate touch with up-to-date engineering practice that do not come to those less favorably- situated. There is not a day of the y-ear but what may be seen in this wonderful city almost any kind of engineering in any phase of development, every type of building in any stage of construction, and the manufacture of the different utili- tarian products contributing to twentieth century civilization. While we recog- nize that Chicago in itself is a wonderful laboratory and offers unusual advantages, we are also cognizant of the fact that it is our own laboratories and shops that pro- vide the preliminary training to prepare our boys to fully appreciate these oppor- tunities. A college of engineering is the most expensive kind of an educational institution to maintain, and new equipment must be provided each year in order to keep pace with modern engineering practice. It is to the magnanimous generosity of Mr. J. Ogden Armour that we are in- debted for the privilege of being allowed to improve our facilities each year, and with this assured material encouragement how can we refrain from looking into the future with the hope and confidence of great achievement?

Monin THE INSTITUTE grtljur J. Jfrttlj Died November io, i)ij Arthur Joseph Frith, C. K., Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, died at his post at the Institute on the morning of Monday, November tenth. He was stricken with illness soon after arriving at the school, and passed away peacefully within a few minutes, his last moments being free from pain. Less than two months before, Professor Frith’s only child, Edward Randolph Frith, was struck by an automobile and died within a few minutes. His father saw the acci- dent and saw his boy die, a terrible experience that he could not forget, though he remained as before, gentle, courteous and lovable. Professor Frith was born in Philadelphia in 1S52. He graduated from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and during practically all of his professional life devoted himself to thermodynamics, the subject of his courses at the Institute. The present year was his sixth at Ar- mour Institute. He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers and of the Society of Automobile Engineers. He was the author of numerous papers presented before engineering societies, notably of a paper on the Frith cycle for gas engines. He has set an unusual example of noble thinking and right living and his professional work is recognized as being of the highest order. 2� THE FACULTY THE INSTITUTE R' Alfred Edward Phillips Professor of Civil Engineering.

Although we have not seen much of Albert, we have learned that he is exceedingly interested in vocational education, and is prominent in many state and local educational associations. THE CLASSES Cl)t Class of 1914 On a certain morning in the first days of September, in the year 1910, the resi- dents in the neighborhood of Armour Institute of Technology, in the bustling city of Chicago, awoke to the realization that something was happening. The college, which had lain dormant during most of the summer, had assumed an air of alert activity. Steady streams of youths flowed in from the four directions to swell the current that already filled the halls of the main building. The throng as a whole, was cheerful and joyous, and many were the recognitions and hearty greet- ings—except for the newcomers. These massed together and stolidly followed directions, dodging as well as possible the earnest exhorters who assured them that their future happiness demanded immediate subscription to the Fulcrum, and Engineer, and Y. M. C. A.—much as freshmen had massed together and dodged such exhorters on every registration day from the founding of the college. Diverse and many were the countries and states represented in the ensemble of those here drawn together for the first time. Future leaders were lost in the general shuffle of uncertain humanity, and future bosom friends passed without recognition. A certain element among these unfamed freshmen were marked as being more at ease than their companions. These were the men from the last class of the Ar- mour Scientific Academy, entering the college with the class of 1914. A few weeks later, when the announcement that the freshmen would meet and organize had brought over two hundred men to historic Science Hall, it was one of these, capable John Aberly, who was chosen as leader. But many of the deeds of ’14 have been the themes of other tales. How the skillful athletes quickly discovered themselves and, in feats of collective and in- dividual prowess, won for the freshmen the baseball and basketball titles, and pro- cured many berths on the Tech teams has been worthily recited. Permanence has been given too, to the brilliance of the social achievements throughout the years of ’i4’s existence. The archives of A. I. T. contain abundant evidence of ’i4’s quick development of marked progressiveness. As individuals and as a whole the men of ’14 have always showed a tendency to carry through movements intended to better the under- graduate life of the college. The perseverence that accomplished the reinstatement of track as a college sport, after two years of endeavor, is not easily forgotten. The Armour Rooters’ Association, an organization that has already justified its existence, must credit its origin to ’14’s determination. And which Armour man cannot tell the talc of ’14’s foresigh ted establishment of a “year book fund,’ in the freshman year, that put strength into the fight for the re-establishment of the college annual, and resulted in the birth of the Cycle? And now we may complete 59 THE CLASSES that talc with the statement that the first issue of the Cycle was sold out on the first day of its appearance, resulting in financial profit to the class treasury. While rummaging through the mentioned archives pause a moment longer at the file markcd“publications.” Look you, here it is recorded that one of’14 has rescued the Fulcrum from distress and given it new life, and another has courage- ously decided that the Armour Engineer shall be changed from a semi-annual to a quarterly publication. And yet here it is told that the blood of ’14 has infused new vigor into the Sphinx. Then turn to “athletics.” See, this page tells how ’14, as Juniors, laid claim to the triple title of interclass champions in basketball and baseball, and track, and how, as Seniors, they had held that title in basketball and baseball; and this one relates of the many valuable services rendered the col- lege teams by those ot ’14. Now there had been established at Armour the custom that each Junior class should bestir itself to provide much entertainment, for a week, in the balmy days of early May. And so, in the reign of Pynchon, it came about that ’14 presented its Junior week. To the portion of the mind where are stowed away memories to be fed on as a delight to the soul, this was indeed a feast. The college forsook its dignity and romped joyfully about as the preparations of months materialized into music and acting and dancing and feasting and playing. Baseball and track and a rollicking circus, and the appearance of the Cycle, filled the afternoons, while the more formal events occupied the evenings. During the successive reigns of Aberly and King and Pynchon, those of ’14 had acquired much knowledge as well as fame. Learned now in the ways of the world, but reduced in number to four score and ten, they gathered to assume the dignity of Seniors. With much display of political wisdom was Heritage chosen to bear the title of “first Senior at Armour.” Many were the committees chosen to devise various ways of expending much money, yet were the hearts of the Seniors made glad by the fact that the treasury was fat and needed no further contributions. In regular routine the various functions of the Senior year have been gone through, until now the final formalities are near at hand. The theses that are al- most completed arc the culmination of four years of earnest effort to drink deeply of the wisdom offered by the Institute. The class of nineteen hundred fourteen has never lost its spirit of hope and progress. Surely each body of men journeying through Armour acquires, in a measure, its own peculiar characteristics. Those of ’14 have been unusually dis- tinctive and clean cut, and the desire to make good in the eyes of Armour men has proved an incentive to success in all lines. Scholastically, as in other ways, ’14 has maintained a high standard. And so, on an evening in the last days of May, in the year 1914, the residents in the neighborhood of Armour Institute of Technology, in the bustling city of Chicago, will again become aware that something is happening. The Assembly Flail will throw open its doors in the honor of ninety young men in cap and gown andthe class of nineteen hundred and fourteen will pass on.

THE CLASSES VL )t Class of 1915 The year of 1911 proved to be an eventful one in the history of the world, for it brought to the Armour Institute of Technology the Class of 1915. Upon the eleventh day of September of that year, a meek and lowly aggregation of young gentlemen gathered within the portals of A. I. T. and turned to the chapter in their Book of Life entitled “College Career.” Immediately upon their entrance into the Institute, their presence began to be felt and they earned the reputation of being a class for deeds. Their first meet- ing two weeks later was characteristic of their spirit, for they broke away from the conventional method of having an upper classman to preside over the assemblage, and began to do things for themselves. Two members of the class, “Red” Strain and “Duke” Cooban, asserted their initiative by delivering several forceful cam- paign speeches. “Red” received the temporary chairmanship, and in the election which followed, the officers elected were Harry II. Strain, President; Earl B. Mark- ham, Vice-President; Elliott M. Sullivan, Secretary, and Joseph F. Chamberlin, Treasurer. The first Social Committee, was appointed by the President at the next meeting, with E. B. Markham as chairman. Under the able guidance of these men, the good ship 1915 sailed through a most successful year. It asserted its ability along social lines by giving one of the prettiest and best attended dances of the year at the Colonial Club the following spring. Towards the end of the second semester, the First Annual Class Banquet was held at the Great Northern Hotel, and evcrvbody put himself on record as having had the time of his life. In athletics also did 1915 assert her superiority during her freshman year. To the “Tech” basketball team, she contributed Joe Chamberlin and A. B. Griffith; to baseball such stars as Tommy Sullivan, Joe Chamberlin and F. G. Cooban, and to track Hirshficld, Wood, Xebel and Dodge. The three wrestlers acknowledged as the peers of the school, E. B. Markham, Jack McKcage and Sam Thai, all paid homage to the flag of 1915. The school year of 1912-13 opened upon the ninth day of September, and again the Class of 1915 returned, as sophomores, although sadly depleted in numbers. The deficiency in quantity, however, was more than compensated by the quality of those who returned. In less than two weeks, a class meeting was called, which proved to be as memorable, if not more so, than the first one of the freshman year. President Strain called the meeting to order, and nominations were opened for his successor. Harry Strain and Jack McKeage were the two nominees. Upon the first ballot, the vote was tied, but a late arrival turned the tide of battle in favor of McKcage, and he was elected on the second ballot. The other officers elected were A. B. Griffith, Vice-President; W'alter S. Pfeiffer, Secretary, and Herman C. Xebel, Treasurer. The social affairs of the class were placed in the hands of a committee of five, consisting of H. P. Sherwood, chairman; G. R. Bartling, H. E. Anning, E. M. Kratz, and L. S. Downey. The athletic managers elected were J. F. Chamberlin, basketball; T. Sullivan, baseball; and G. J. Trinkaus, track. 07 THE CLASSES During the year, considerable friction developed in the affairs of the class, and for some time it looked as though a bitter factional fight was inevitable. The situation culminated in April with the resignation of President McKeage. He was succeeded by Vice-President Griffith. When it came to interclass matters, however, ’15 stood together as one man. Early in September they threw down the gauntlet to the frosh and continued the process of showing 1916 her insignificance during the next two months. The freshmen were by no means passive victims, but ’15 scored a triumph at every at- tempt, and finally brought her rivals to a sense of their proper place by the memor- able battle of Nov. 8, 1912. The wearers of the green and white once more asserted their initiative when they held a very successful dance at the Hyde Park Masonic Hall on the seventh of March. Pennants bearing the class numerals in black and gold were distributed among the dancers. Programs in the form of green and white leather card cases were another example of the prowess of our Social Committee. All present declared it to have been one of the best Armour dances ever held. The social affairs of the season ended with the Second Annual Banquet of the Class, held on May 14 at the Great Northern Hotel. This proved to be even more enjoyable than the first banquet. The fighting spirit of the class was equally evident in athletics. At the inter- class track meet, held October 25, the class of 1915 worthily asserted her capa- bilities by finishing only six points behind the victorious Juniors. Among those who scored points for the green and white, were Graves, A. H. Johnson, Faulkner, Shaffer and Trinkaus. During the iivterclass series in basketball, held the following month, the ’15 team proved a strong contender, losing several games by the nar- rowest of margins and furnishing the surprise of the series by defeating the hitherto unbeaten freshmen team. 1915 proved to be unbeatable in the indoor baseball scries in March and with “Babe” Wolfson doing the twirling, won the championship with scarcely an effort. Several of 1915’s athletes aided in the victories of the “Tech” teams; Bready, Hockenbcrger, Sullivan and McKeage in basketball; McKeage, Johnson, Trinkaus and Shaffer on the track; and Sullivan, Hook and Trinkaus on the diamond. The last three were members of the famous nine which won the collegiate champion- ship of the Middle West. Several members of the class gained credit in other fields than athletics. E. W. Porter was Managing Editor of the “Fulcrum” for the year; C. G. Hanson and H. H. Strain held positions on the staff of that paper; Porter and Hanson were also assistants on the “Cycle” and J. A. McKeage represented the class on the year- book staff. 68 THE CLASSES It was well that the class possessed men of such talent in these lines, as the pub- lication of the “Cycle” for 1914 devolved upon them as Juniors. In April, 1913, the staff of the next year’s “CYCLE”was organized. E. W. Porter was elected Editor-in-Chief by his classmates, and C. A. Knucpfer was given the position of Business Manager, and these two were given free rein in the selection of their assistants. September 8, 1913, saw the Class of 1915 back at Armour once more, this time in the guise of Juniors, but lacking some of her best men. The organization was effected during the second week of the semester, at a meeting held on September 17. The meeting was marked by the total absence of the ill-feeling which had marred several of those of the preceding year, and the rivalry for office was entirely of a friendly nature. E. M. Kratz and C. R. Simmons were nominated for President the former winning by a narrow margin, and the latter receiving the Vice-Presi- dency. C. D. Wight was chosen Secretary, and L. W. A. Bunge, Treasurer. Since the supervision of Junior Week would fall to the class of 1915, it was decided to elect the three marshalls at once. L. S. Downey and G. W. Sproesser tied for the position of First Marshall on the first ballot. Downey was elected on the second and Sproesser was elected Second Marshall, with the supervision of the Junior Play. Harold E. Aiming was elected Third Marshall, the position carrying with it the chairmanship of the Social Committee. The other members of that committee chosen were Leonard Hook, Walter H. Rietz, B. K. Gibson, and E. J. Sieh. The latter two left Armour during the semester and were replaced by Stanley W. Anderson and Herbert P. Sherwood. At the second meeting, the other class officials were elected, including the man- agers of the athletic teams: H. A. Mammes for basketball, Thomas Sullivan for baseball, and George J. Trinkaus for track. As the social activities of a Junior class are to a large extent concentrated into Junior week, 1915 did little in this way during the first semester, but began the second well with a dance at the Colonial Club on January 30, whose success may be taken as an indication of the kind of affairs we are to expect during Junior Week. In athletics, 1915 maintained her standard by taking second place in the inter- class track meet held October 3. Hirshfield, Thai, Faulkner, Trankaus and Shaffer scored the points for the team. The athletic season is young vet, and from the quality of material which has been seen in these events ’15 may expect to have several men on the “Tech” teams. There arc other ways of a man bringing honor to his class besides those of the athletic field. In scholarship, 1915 is probably above the average, since the marks of the members of the class for the first two and a half years show that the class average is a very good one. Individually, William V. Lindblom carried off the palm, being chosen honor man by Tau Beta Pi, although several others, some of whom later left the Institute, gave him a close race. In literary fields also, 1915 had more men during the Junior year. The Cycle Staff was composed almost entirely of members of the class, and William V. Lind- blom was Editor-in-Chief of the “Fulcrum,” while George J. Trinkaus, Sidney Shaffer and Charles R. Simmons were department editors on the staff. This brings the history of the class of 1915 up to date, February, 1914, and al- though we cannot, of course, be expected to foresee and foretell the mysteries of the future in detail, yet, having duly consulted the Oracle at Delphi, we do not hesitate to proclaim: That IQI5 is the greatest Junior Class that has ever attended Armour institute of Technology; that before we graduate we will have accomplished even greater things than we have done heretofore, and that in the world outside, we will be ranked as the greatest class of the greatest college in the world. 09 THE CLASSES THE ARMOUR JUNIORIUM Extra Edition May, 1914 Price i Cent Junior Circus It may be of interest to the students of Armour Institute and the world at large to know that the dandy little class of 1915 is completing plans for one of the greatest philanthropic under- takings which has ever before been attempted. This is none other than the erection of a magnificent home for the students of Armour Institute who have been rendered aged and decrepit by the untiring efforts of our bitter enemies, the profs. This home is to be situated five miles due east of Chi- cago, on a site donated by Uncle Sam, and will be built at an approximate cost of 14,000,000,003.62. In order to meet the enormous ex- pense of this enterprise, a circus will be held at Ogden Field on one of the latter days of Junior week. The greatest aggregation of talent ever gathered in Christendom has been in- duced to perform (on credit) at this occasion. This collection of artists has at previous times performed before all the crowned heads of Europe, the bone heads of Colona, Michigan, and the deadheads of the Pcre Marquette Railroad. The program as far as Manager Kratz has been able to prog- nosticate, will be as follows:—subject to police interference: The first spasm will be a dazzling, aerial, tightrope act by our scrappy little short stop, Tom Sullivan He will attempt to balance himself on his left ear while smoking a cigarct, and at the same time work out a problem in Calculus assigned by “Doc ’ Camp- bell The next number will be a song and dance by the celebrated human Sia- mese twins, Dewey Aiming and Fred Ward. They will give a demonstra- tion of how the tango should not be done, illustrating the intricacies of the subway glide, the loop the loop, and the broken hip. To add variation to the program, the Russian nobleman, Ignatz Mammes will dive from a platform 300 feet in the air, into a sausage, without break- ing the skin, showing what wonderful results can be accomplished when a man uses his head. For a musical number, we arc pleased to announce that we have engaged I. Yamamoto from the land of the Sun. In this act alone he uses 50,000 worth of clothing, and a diamond rated at ninety horsepower. The audience will now be aroused from their slumbers to gaze upon an act which has been put upon the pro- gram in the interest of science. It will demonstrate Prof. Wilcox’s theory that the impact stresses set up in a ball of concrete when it strikes the ground from a 30 foot fall arc insufficient to rupture the concrete. “Shorty” Thai will leap from the roof of the “Beanery” make forty revolutions and a pirouette in mid air, and land on his head. As a fitting finale and an eloquent tribute to the purpose of the under- taking, math professors Campbell, Leigh, Pell and Palmer will be led out in chains and thrown into a cage of hungry lions, borrowed from Lincoln Park for the occasion. By special re- quest of Prof. Smith’s descriptive geometry class, he also will be number- ed among the victims. The advance sale of the tickets al- ready numbers 40,000, which would seem to indicate that the affair will be a stupendous success. Let us all write in this common cause for the relief and succor of our afflicted bro- thers. Amen. 70 THE CLASSES SOPHOMORE THE CLASSES Sophomores; Colors Blue and White Yell Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Place—Armour Institute of Technology. Dramatis Personae—“The Class,” “Professor ............,” Chorus, of Deans, Professors, C. E’s, M. E.’s, Ph. D’s, D. D.’s, E. E.’s, Ch. E’s, and B. S.’s. The Story It was on the memorable day of September 25, 1912, that “the Class” first saw the bright and dazzling light of day. “The Class” was surely one healthy looking infant, and although the sun and the moon arose as on ordinary days, one felt that something was different. And it was this difference that characterized the advent of “the Class” into the Armour world. But with a sameness that reminded one of the ordinary classes, the infant was duly registered. This reduced its weight somewhat, by seventy-five dollars, plus the little irritations of life. “Beware the Ides of Archs,” was the warning sounded at that time but little heed was paid. As time passed, however, and life became more of a routine, it became evident that the “Class” needed organization. It was now that the significance of the warning became apparent, for at the first class meeting, the Architects elected their ticket from President Pierre down to Treasurer Holt, including the Vice-President and Secretary. But the “Class” was resolved not to let “Architectism” interfere with its original purposes, so the merry round started with the Freshman Handshake. The hero of that occasion was the late Bud Piser, (Oh, Bud, Bud, where art thou budding now!), and the class was there with its pump handle handshake. Closely following the handshake, the lusty infant developed a mania for the plane figure (not descrip., oh, no). Sidewalks, Ogden Field, Beanery, fences and the like served as good display boards for that beautiful numeral “16.” Of course the “Class” must be punished. Indignation meetings were held by executive councils, Sophomore class, etc., at which it was decided to punish the “frosh” at the Smoker. But just to show that she also had something to say, thej“Class” gathered at the Smoker in goodly numbers, and after partaking of the vile weed, rushed the Sophs off their feet. Ably led by Alter, they weren’t doing a thing to the class of ’15, when the guardians of the law appeared upon the scene. This put an end to the slaughter. Business of jumping over fences, pulling on coats, etc! Later we discovered several good athletes, and witness the record. In the Inter- class baseball and basketball series, the “Class” captured second place, and in track was nosed out by three points. Good spirit was always in evidence when 1916 was 75 THE CLASSES concerned, and it was this spirit which placed Katzinger, McDonnell, Sullivan, Wilcox and Broman on the varsity basketball team, Katzinger and McDonnell on the champion baseball team, and Katzinger, Sullivan, Landis and Alter on the track team. A fine record, you say, but “are you going to the Freshman Dance?” “Yes and I hear its going to be some dance.” Right oh, old chap, it was some dance. It was given in the Louis XIV room of the Hotel Sherman, and if you can conceive or have anyone conceive of any dance that can compare with it,—well, you’re some conceivers, that’s all. Incidentally, the Social Committee reported a deficit of some odd $$ as a result of the affair but it was some dance. The other class dances, the Home Concert and the Junior Play did not lack the support of the Frosh, however, for their school spirit was always apparent. The “Class” gladly contributed to the resources of John D. Rockerfcller (What do you mean, burn midnight oil) and ’16 may be considered as quite a scholarly class. We hope that this will not spoil the good points enumerated heretofore. PART II. One Year Later. With the same spirit which characterized the brilliant start made at Armour, though in a vastly greater degree, the “Class” started its second year. It was evident that the other classes would “Let the Sophs do it,” confident of at least a duplication of the successes which had signalized the first year. And so they did it up brown. In the latter part of September, at the reorgani- zation of the “Class,” that peppery clan of Civils, Sullivan, McHugh and Alter, worked into the presidency, vice-presidency and social chairmanship respectively, while with Hill as Secretary and Grasse as Treasurer, the fortunes of the class of 1916 were guided by able hands. To start things, in track ’16 virtually ran away with the rest of the field. The baseball series following was lost by one point to ’17, and the basketball series resulted in another sweeping victory for the “Class,” which gave her the athletic championship of the Institute. Quite proudly, the “Class” did the honors at the handshake. Soon after, it was reminded of its childhood days, for once more the beautiful “16” adorned railroad trestles, sidewalks and the Beanery. But alack and alas! Our works of art did not appeal to the low-brows of the Frosh, and an ugly “17” was smeared over the ever- shining “16.” 'Phis only brought new honors to the “Class.” In the role of a stern parent reproving her child, she descended upon the minions of “17” and ad- ministered a most sound spanking. Then back to the integrations of Campbell and the physics of “dat der Duff guy.” Terrible as these monsters appeared, they did not completely devour the ‘Class,” and her scholarly record remained untarnished. Now to athletics. What would the basketball team be without Katzinger, Sullivan, Wilcox and Broman and the track squad without Alter, Katzinger, il- cox and Sullivan? Could the baseball team exist without Katzinger, McHugh and Wilcox? No! emphatically no! 76 THE CLASSES 1916 also distinguished herself in other lines of endeavor. G. Laurence Bolte, manager of the Mandolin Club, put over some concert, while McHugh was Manag- ing Editor of a good “Fulcrum.” But in addition to this, Maurice Wilcox, is the golf champion of Armour Institute. A fine record, so far, you will agree, and we leave only to return as Juniors with far greater accomplishments to perform. THE DAILY QUIZ EDITORIAL. We agree with Gen.

Hoping you are the same, I remain, Ima Mattsiiark. Basketball. In the interclass basketball series the freshmen gave the other classes a mighty stiff argument and the exalted sophs knew they had been through a game before they finally overcame the aspiring freshmen. Lamb, King, Clay and Grecnspahn were the particular bright lights of the team and all four have played in a majority of the varsity games. “Shorty” Lamb at center has proved a find, for “the silent one” and the way he drops them into the wicker from any angle or position seems particularly wierd and uncanny. After the close of the class series a “Barnstorm- ing” team was organized among the freshmen and up to the present time they have given a very good account of themselves. Class Rush. Sympathy for the sophs and a desire not to bring up any unpleasant sophomore recollections prevents us from going into the details of this event. Suffice it to say that the above named gentlemen made a rather hasty and unceremonious departure from the battle ground. Baseball. The freshmen added considerably to their laurels by administering a neat little trimming to the Sophs, likewise the Juniors and Seniors in the interclass baseball series. This victory alone would assure the class of athletic fame for the ability S4 THE CLASSES of the men whom our heroes conquered is unquestioned, the same victims having only the previous year won the Western Intercollegiate baseball championship. All of the games were of the hair-raising “fight to the last ditch” variety. The first one, that between the Seniors and F resides, resulted in an 8-8 tic, the playover going to the Freshmen 4-2. The last game of the series was a struggle to the death and only by their bull dog tenacity were the first year men enabled to nose out the Sophs by the score of 2-1. The team has made quite a hit with the coach and “Long John” expects to recruit a considerable portion for the varsity. Sweater Coats. From the very start of the year the freshmen showed they were a rather lively bunch and endowed with considerable “pcP” anc perhaps the best illustration of this was their decision to outdo the other classes at the Smoker by appearing in sweater coats of white with a large ’17 emblazoned on a field of gold. Other classes had decided to wear special hats, but the Freshmen resolved to go them all one better. Unfortunately the coats arrived too late for the smoker but they have been very “muchly” in evidence since. Just another indication of ’17 “go.” The Freshmen were dealt a severe blow when returning after the Christmas vacation, they learned that their energetic, wide-awake president, Haakc, had de- parted from them. Owing to ill health Mr. Haake was forced to discontinue his studies. The entire student body and particularly the Freshmen, unite in the hope that he will soon regain his health and be enabled to continue his studies. Class Meeting. A special meeting was called late in January to fill certain offices made vacant by withdrawal from school. Mr. Andre, the popular secretary, was elevated to the office vacated by Mr. Haake and Mr. Zack succeeded to Andre’s old position. Greenman took upon himself the task of instructing the “fresh” when cheers arc in order, Mr. Vollbrecht’s “locomotive” having been disabled. A few additions were also made to the social committee and ’17, manned by a lively crew, is holding fast to its course of victory both in the class room and on the athletic field. It has some very promising candidates for both the baseball and track teams and ’17 hopes to figure even more prominently during the coming season than it has during the past.

LAV, OKI of THE 7AArt II 86 THE CLASSES lje Ctoils’ Camp. 1913 On June6th, a happy bunch of Civils departed for their camp in the cool north woods of Wisconsin. This year the camp site was on the shore of Little Tomahawk Lake, and with the innumerable other small lakes within a few miles radius, all set in virgin forests of pine, the site proved an idealistic one. And so it was an expec- tant crowd that piled out of the limited the next day at Minocqua. The trip was made in fine shape and all remained together as far as Tomahawk Lake,where Kornfield held such ardent conversation with the pretty post-mistress, that he consequently missed the train. We soon arrived at Minocqua and as the ferry to camp was not to leave for an hour or so, we inspected the “burg” pretty thoroughly. The “Merry Mucilage” parlors seemed to be in the majority and although the gilded fronts attracted, our interest was centered on the combination cigar, candy, ice cream, general merchan- dise store and post-office where the “girl in red” held reign. When the launch did arrive, all hands were on deck and the start for camp was made. To the ravenous ones—we had neither breakfast nor dinner—it was some ride. After passing through “steen” lakes we at last reached the camp. Tent mates were picked and as the tent floors had to be put in, our budding carpenters burst forth. The call for supper saw everything in readiness for our six weeks stay. But let us see “who’s who and where” in the colony. The mess tent, the ever popular tent, was presided over by “Chef” George Kusky, assisted by “Cookec” Paulson. Directly opposite was the Drafting tent, wherein which we seldom labored. Next came the instrument tent which harbored “Brother” Knuepfer, who acted in the dual capacity of instrument-man and com- missary. Knuepfer, when he wasn’t having trouble with the launch or running the same into the boathouse, was the recipient of numerous song dedications. Chief among these was that wonderful ditty by “Bugs” Penbcrthy entitled “Brother 87 Kneupfcr may we go for a sail!” The next stop was the Central Hot Air station where Professors Phillips and Penn discussed plans. It bore a sign, “We close at nine.” Its meaning, but what’s the use;—we had to have our notes in by nine o’clock. The family next door, the Dingbats, numbered “Mac Which,” “Mac Who,” McHugh, who informs us that Rhinelander has quite some girls,“Woodzecki” Wilcox, who proved to be some fusser, “Al” Wermuths and Omar Grant O’Grady. Among the prominent members of the Morgue was “Trink” Trinkaus, beloved by all the mosquitoes. But Trink’s dope ball had all the Ty Cobbs in Onieda County fanning the balsam laden atmosphere. Trink’s partner in their comedy line was “Bugs” Penberthy, a product of Lane college. When “Penny” wasn’t causing “Teddy” Kiene to utter words of (asbestos paper would be needed if same were printed, so we desist) he was writing some new song. To share the tent with “Trink” and “Penny” was the fate of “Aeroplane” Hahn, the man of letters,— (five a day from home) and “Pessimist” Simpson, whose contribution to science was, “You got the ticks.” The Hobo Hotel had as its guests “Ragtime” Sevin,who cut quite a dash at that Minocqua ball; Kadinskv, Grodsky and Wilensky. This ended the tents on the right wing of the camp. Proceeding to the left side we enter upon “Capt. Formaldehyde,” Sullivan’s domain. With him, housed in Hooligan Flats, were “Len” Zeman, who could favor us with Casey Jones on all occasions; “Art” Alter, whose familiar wheeze was, “Let’s walk to Tomahawk and get the mail.” This brings us to Seldom Inn, the home of the good old faithful “Warhorse” Sieden- strang; Gillidette, of flagpole fame; and “Pipe” Kornfeld. We are now at the out- skirts of the camp, and see before us the home of the hard workers, the Rathskeller. The Rathskeller housed “Smitty” Smith, “Bill” Lindblom, and last, but by no means least, that celebrated character, “Texas” Kiene, otherwise termed “Idaho” or “Teddy.” Business for the next twodays, Saturday and Sunday, resolved into getting a lay of the land. Monday saw everyone start with a vim and for the next two weeks the interest was held more or less in the newness of things. But soon a restlessness set in. It cropped out one night in a mysterious storm. About one o’clock G. M. the persons of Sevin, Wilensky, Grodsky, and Kadinsky in the Hobo Hotel were sub- jected to a somewhat cold shower accompanied by a collapse of said hotel. The evidences left were a few buckets, cups, etc. With this off their minds, the cabaret performers returned to the Dingbat’s ballroom. The principles were “Trink,” doing a song and dance specialty (the dance being done in his spiked baseball shoes), Summer Camp View THE CLASSES and McHugh and Penbcrthy giving their own versions of the tango. On June 18th, the social bunch journeyed to Minocqua to attend the high school dance. One bone a throw and for that you received a ribbon (like theTau Bet pledge ribbon) and were admitted. The affair was voted a good time and at i :oo o’clock the start was made for home. We were Ida May (ing) along fine when one cylinder started missing. Knuepfer decided to test the vibrators and gave the wheel to “Texas.” In so doing he lost his direction and it was a sorry bunch that pulled in next morning after drifting about all night on the lake. The swimming about this time was just getting fine and twice daily the Kellcr- man’s would perform, chief among us being Siedcnstrang in the act of diving. Also, “don’t hit me on that shoulder I’m sun-burned.” But now, and alas, we are about to take topography. As you well know, gentle- men, that requires the writing up of “dose dere” stadia notes. Enuf said. So you see our nights were pretty well taken up—mosquitoes: and more mosquitoes: stadia notes: and more stadia notes: and then quietly stealing down into the Cook’s cake box for our top-off. Though the camp was pretty well wooded, the ball tossers managed to keep in trim and the challenge from the Minocqua White Sox was quickly accepted. Under the captaincy of Trinkaus the camp “Nevcrsweats” played a superior article of ball only to crack before a ninth inning rally which netted the White Sox three runs and the victory, 8 to 7. “Trink’s” dope ball had them all going, but his support failed at the wrong time. The following week the railroad magnets (magots) gathered and it was decided to run several lines of railroad. There might be nothing to this, but all the roads seemed either to start or to end at Mess. Johnson’s Camp. So far during the stay the weather could not be improved upon, with the rain coming often enough to suit all (no work when it rains). The 4th passed quietly and with Hahn, Simpson, Trinkaus, and McHugh celebrating at Rhinelander and Kcinc, Smith and Penbcrthy at Park Palls, the rest of the camp celebrated joyously on O’Grady’s Brazilian fudge. The next Saturday the camp team set off for Rhine- lander and were again beaten in the ninth. This time it was 12 to 11. This brings us to the last week and with the thought of home everyone toiled to clean up the work. Thursday noon the word was given to break camp. No sooner said than done. In two hours the tents were down and the nine o’clock train saw the end of a most successful camp. -fvANILMU. FAGLjr -—' kiXl CAMD S9 THE CLASSES A'I'T cAn p THE.

Thither the professors are wont to go for a quiet hour during the middle of the day, where they will be free from the annoyances of their duties as instructors. During the year, much interest was aroused by the Club’s checker and billiard tournaments, and last winter, some of the members organized a bowling club, which has been meeting regularly at a hall in Woodlawn. Besides these particular activities, the Club affords an opportunity to its members for recreation in the form of billiards or reading, and these branches are well patronized. ORGANIZATIONS Armour grtubent Pranrf) American ocietp of iHecfjantcal engineers Officers Professor G. F. Gebhardt H. E. Erickson E. W. Menke A. N. Koch L. C. Meyer Honorary Chairman President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Society was organized in January, 1905, by the Senior Mechanical students who called themselves the “Senior Mechanical Society.” At the beginning of the college year of 1907-1908 the membership was extended to the Junior Mechanicals. In 1909 the Society was affiliated with the American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers and was organized as the Armour Student Branch on the ninth of March of that year. I he Society holds both professional and student discussions on Me- chanical subjects. Since school opened in September, we have had our annual smoker, and four regular meetings. The smoker was held on September 24, 1913. The Juniors were afforded an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the members of the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Society in a social way. On October 16th, Mr. C. W. Naylor of Marshall Field c5 Co. gave a very inter- esting talk on the power plant of that store. The evening of the second meeting was devoted to a talk on “Fans and Blowers” by H. I). Gumppcr, ’14, and “Safety Devices on Elevators” by L. YV. A. Bunge, ’15, which were admirably delivered. Mr. Jos. Harrington of Harrington Peebles, talked to us at our third meeting on “The Practical Application of the Theory of Furnace Efficiency.” Mr. Har- rington described the problems of the boiler room and gave us plenty of remedies for overcoming them. 134 'lop Row—Anderson, Brewer, Gumpper, Sherwood, Agee.

Schoembs . Treasurer The Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was found- ed February 26, 1903, the object being to introduce the student into the work of the engineering society early in his career and to afford him an opportunity for cultivating many of those qualities which arc needed by the engineer and which are not developed in the class room or laboratory. Thru the society, the student obtains practice in the preparation and presentation of technical papers and in public speaking. He becomes acquainted with the practical problems which are occupying the attention of the leaders in his future profession. The more important and interesting papers presented before the national organization arc brought to his notice and he acquires information concerning the men who write them. These, in combination with the social side of the organization, should be important factors in making him a great deal more than a book worm. The meetings of the branch are held semi-monthly. On these occasions papers prepared by student members are presented or discussions on practical subjects by outside engineers are heard. The various meetings this year were as follows: Oct. 8, 1913—Business meeting and smoker. Oct. 22, 1913—“The Application of Direct and Alternating Currents in Railway Signaling Apparatus”—Wetzel, '14; Stecher, '14. Nov. 12, 1913—“Station Grounds,” by A. B.

The then Junior and Senior classes drew up the constitution which was adopted on June 14th of that year. A suite of rooms on the second floor of Chapin Hall was secured at this time, which has served as the Society’s meeting place ever since. The pin adopted as the society badge is a unique design representing a levelling rod target. The present membership numbers forty-two men. The object of the organization is to study and discuss the current problems confronting the Civil Engineer and also to establish a closer relationship between the two upper classes of the department. There have been many very interesting inspection trips made during the past year and plans arc under way for several more trips. These trips arc attended by all of the members of the society and are of great educational value to the students. H. F. Smith Chas. Dean E. G. Zack M. J.

Carnahan Treasurer The Chemical Engineering Society was organized during the winter of 1903 and since that time has been steadily growing both in membership and enthusiasm. As in all other similar societies the fundamental object was to foster talks on prac- tical questions relating to the chemical industries both by men engaged in actual practice and by student members of the society. Several interesting papers prepared by student members are kept on file in the Institute library. The society met for the first time of the year on September 30 and at that time it was plainly evidenced that the current year was to be the most successful one of which the society could boast. A constitution was drawn up to replace one which had long been forgotten and the plan of having monthly banquets was soon cast into the past. The policy of the society as remodeled, was then to have meetings every two weeks and to have these meet frigs featured for the greater part with talks by the students and also members of the faculty. There is no better time to laud the success of this policy than now and we must say that all of the talks or papers which have been presented were carefully worked up and this no doubt has been the secret of keeping up the lively interest. The annual banquet of the society was held on January 23, 1914, at Kuntz- Remmlers and was a success in every way. After the “eats” Dr. Gudeman delivered an interesting talk on “Food Law Administration.” HO Top Row--Perlstein, I Iahx, Lauletta, W ilkins, Aga .im, Whittington.

Roser Since all the departments of the school except the Fire Protection Department had an organized club, the students and professors of this department thought it would be well to organize a “Fire Protection Engineering Society.” The first meeting was called on November n, 1913, and the subject of organization was discussed. After deciding to organize the society, the above named officers were elected. Two more business meetings followed, which were held on November 25 and December 9, 1913. On January 27, 1914, Professor Taylor, head of the department, gave a fine illustrated lecture on the subject of “Automatic Sprinkler Systems and Fire Alarms.” The meeting was held in the Physics lecture room and was well attended by men from the other departments as well as from our own department. Following this lecture, was another very practical and instructive lecture on February 24, 1914. The lecturer was Mr. Y. H. Fredericks, and the subject discussed was “The Field Work of the Fire Prevention Committee of the National Board of Underwriters.” There is no doubt but that the society has only begun on its effective work along social and instructive lines, and a very successful year is looked forward to next year with the addition of the large number of freshmen who arc taking the course. 142 Top Row—Rietz, Krat?., Chamberlin, Peterson.

Smokers held at intervals of three or four weeks, with leading architects and prominent speakers to give talks, was planned from the start as the principal function of the Atelier. Such men as Walter Burley Griffin, Louis FI. Sullivan, Howard Shaw, Hornbostcl, Pond, Hunt and numerous other men at the top of their profession have given talks at the smokers at different times. 144 ORGANIZATIONS 145 ORGANIZATIONS Atelier Notes The closing function of the year, ’12-A3 was the annual banquet, held May 16, 1913, at Kuntz-Remmlers.

Mr. Rebori and Mr. Alter gave interesting talks on the origin and purpose of the Atelier, and the smokes, eats and music rounded out the evening’s entertainment. The evening of October 7 was picked as Theatre Night, and some forty of the Architects went to the American Music Hall where Lew Fields in “All Aboard” was the attraction, but the little round tables in the rear of the hall held the attrac- tion of many throughout the evening. The Hallowe’en dance, Oct. 31, was held in Blackstone Hall of the Art In- stitute. The hall was appropriately decorated, and the party was a huge success. An affair of deep impression was the Freshman Initiation on Friday,Dec. 12. The number of sufferers exceeded that of any of the previous years. Of course, it will not do to go into details, but let it suffice to say that, at the hands of a wise judge and four stalwart executioners, the unbelieving Freshmen had impressed on their minds and elsewhere, the sound principles of the Atelier. On Wednesday. Feb. 4, 1914, the Atelier presented Miss Helen Bagg’s comedy- farce, “Friday the Thirteenth.” The performance was a great success, and the work of Wolfley, who also had charge of the play and who was largely responsible for its success, Barber, Wright and Nertney was especially commendable. A letter was received from Mr. Carpenter, the Secretary of the Art Institute, in which he expressed his opinion of the play as follows: “I had the pleasure of seeing your play yesterday and I think it the best students’ play that has ever been given in Fullerton Hall.” At a smoker on Feb. 12, Mr. Louis H. Sullivan was the guest of the evening. Mr. Rebori was the first speaker and gave a talk on his favorite theme, “Reason- ableness of Architecture.” He was followed by Mr. Sullivan, who, continuing with the same line of thought, talked on “The Reason of Architecture.” He de- veloped his subject with the same genius that he displays in his designing. He brought out some thoughts that were new to many, and held the closest attention of all those present. Mr. Carpenter was the next, on the program, and gave some advice and encouragement. The latter consisted mainly of a promise to the Arch- itects to sec that the attention of the young ladies of the Art School would not, in the future, be entirely monopolized by the young men of the Artists School. It might well be guessed that Mr. Carpenter made himself pretty solid with the Architects by this announcement. The usual refreshments and music sent every- one home feeling well satisfied with the evening. 146 8 —•— •EAniLIAii -A AD XT A2.T JACiJ JCbnhJ THE. iAjmtTO AtriioR JOAIO t-Ar 117 r ORGANIZATIONS Armour footers’ Association Fred L.

Sullivan, ’15 A. S. Alter, ’16 H. Georges, '17 The Armour Rooters’ Association was organized on April 30, 1912. Lack of school spirit and indifference toward worthy school activities amongst the student body led several of the upper classmen: Harris Pcrlstein, Max Wald, Clark C. Heritage, and others, to find some means of stimulating interest and bringing legitimate student activities to a successful issue. These men conceived the or- ganization of the entire student body into a workable entity. The executive work of this association is carried out by the officers and class representatives, who con- stitute the Governing Board. There are no dues, all financial aid being furnished by the classes. Occasional mass meetings of the student body, all of whom are members, are held to arouse the dormant school spirit as well as to obtain an ex- pression from the student body relative to activities concerning the whole school. That the association has been a potent force is manifest from a survey of the several functions which it has successfully undertaken. 'Fhe main social functions promoted by the association, in which the entire school may take part, are Circus Day and Tech Night. Circus Day is the “big day” of the Junior Week program, and Tech Night was started to take the place of the old custom of having an Armour Night at the White City. Both bid fair to be permanent events in the social life of the school, and emblematical of the good old “Armour spirit.” ns ORGANIZATIONS £. AENKE W.v.

The material that tried out was the best we have had in many years. There were not as many applicants for berths in the Mandolin club but there were enough to make a first class outfit. After the first concert at the Windsor Park M. E. Church last fall it was decided to cut down the membership of the Glee Club to six on a part. The club was very well balanced and the attendance at rehearsals was good. The work done by both the Mandolin and Glee club at the Home Concert and the various other concerts throughout the year was very good indeed, and next year we should have one of the best musical clubs in the middle west. 150 'lop Row Schikfers, LeVally, Mellor, Moeller, Steiningf.r.

C. . i otes The Armour Institute branch of the V. M. C. A. was organized in the fall of 1899 by Mr. W. J. Parker, who was at that time Student Secretary of Chicago. The original membership was six members, and the rooms at that time were at 3321 Armour Avenue. At present the membership is over one hundred and seventy men, and the Association occupies rooms on the third floor of Chapin Hall. The rooms arc open during the school hours, and until seven o’clock in the evening. During the winter months a number of our members assist in social service work, such as teaching English to foreigners. This work is supervised by the Central V. M. C. A., which assists our men to find classes in various parts of the city. This is a very important branch of the activities, as it gives the engineering students a chance to come in contact with the sort of men they must learn to deal with and control. Upon request, new students are met at the train by association men, and as- sistance is given in finding rooms for these men. The church committee also en- deavors to place the new out-of-town students with churches of their respective denominations. The first social event of each year is the “Freshman Handshake.” This is held in the Institute lunch room, on the second or third Friday of the school year, this function being held to give the Freshmen a chance to get acquainted with each other and the upper classmen. Various meetings are held throughout the year, some of these being held from 5:00 to 5:45 on Tuesday evenings; and others, of a social nature, being held during the evenings at intervals during the year. 'Fhe rooms contain a billiard table and piano, and also checker and chess boards besides an extensive assortment of periodicals and books. Billiard, chess, and checker tournaments are held during the year, thus making the time spent in the rooms pleasant and profitable.

Incidental to practice in public speaking, parliamentary usage is taken up and each member is given a chance to preside at a meeting and to act as secretary. Visitors are invited to attend the sessions and to take part in the discussions, which cover topics introduced by the members. The president for the first semester of this year was George Y. Sproesser and the secretary was Clifford D. Wight. These positions are now held by William Y. Lindblom and Theodore J. Kiene respectively. ORGANIZATIONS Officers Harris Perlstein ....

Thomas At last the necessary has become a reality. Due to the efforts of C. C. Heritage an “Honor A” society has been founded at Armour. Heretofore, when a person won an emblem, in one line of athletics or another, he was given his letter, and that was as far as it went. The memories of the struggle for it and the record which it represented were soon forgotten. The only encouragement for a fellow to ccmc out and compete for an emblem was the emblem itself and the knowledge that he was showing school spirit. Now that the “A” society has been formed, it will give the fellows greater encouragement to get out and work. By sacrificing the time for their activities in Tech athletics, they will obtain not only their emblems, but also membership in the society. The fundamental idea back of the formation of the society was that of bettering athletics in general at Armour. An organization of this kind is an aid in bringing out the material, and stimulates competition for the places on the various teams. Heritage, who had attended the U. of C., where they have an honorary athletic organization, had learned to appreciate the benefits from such an association, and realized that it would be a good thing for the Tech. He consulted the Deans and they gave their approval, so he called a meeting and the wearers of the “A” respond- ed in numbers. Heritage was elected President of the society as a reward for his work in organizing it. Y. H. Hallstein was elected Secretary and Treasurer, A. S. Alter became Statistician, whose duty it is to keep a record of the deeds of Armour athletes in their various sports. At a second meeting, John J. Schommer, our coach, and Dr. H. B.Thomas, general director of athletics, were elected honorary members. The emblem of the organization, a gold “A” with stars stamped on it to represent the number of “A’s” won, was also adopted at this meeting. 104 Left to right, outside—Trixkaus, J. Sullivan, F.mslik.

It was agreed that a more prolonged and less formal gathering which would give the graduates a chance to mix more readily than at a standard banquet would serve towards the furtherance of the first object. At the same time it seemed plain that a visit to Armour would be the most effective way of getting into touch with Institute developments, plans, and activities. The natural conclusion was: “Let’s meet at 33rd and Armour.” Accordingly a crowd assembled on Ogden Field about 3 o’clock Saturday after- noon, May 24, 1913, and watched the Alumni “Old Stars” beat the regular Tech, nine in ten innings, 4 to 3. At the banquet in the evening over 185 of the graduates of the school were pres- ent. Dr. Gunsaulus said grace and added a word of welcome. He said the meeting differed from a church meeting in that many more attended than promised to attend while in gatherings of the latter type many more promised to come than actually appeared at the time appointed. President Grcifenhagen then spoke in welcome to the graduating class of 1913 and thanked the Institute Council and the faculty for their co-operation in working out the reunion plans. President Burley of the class of 1913 replied for his class. Professor Monin next addressed the meeting in a rousing speech overflowing with enthusiasm and kindliness and uttered in his usual hearty and sincere manner. The famous Armour Quartet contributed a few jolly songs and W. G. Smith of the faculty followed with a solo. I'.rnest Mc- Cullough, all around engineer, spoke briefly and practically on the “Engineers’ Fight,” referring to the engineers’ fight for a job and for adequate compensation and recognition. The meeting wound up with a snappy business session at which officers reported a year of progress. Top Row—Gl LLETT E, PaVEY, We EHRMANN. Middle Row----GrKI FEN HAGEN, DeBeERS, Cl.AUSEN, Banning.

To you it is merely one of the events of the college year, to us it is the all important event of our Junior year. After days and nights of work and worry, we are not at all sorry that our work is done, and we leave the decision as to whether our work is well done, to you. But whether your decision be favorable or no, we know that we have done our best in the task set before us, and hope that the issues to come may profit by our errors. We thank you, one and all, for your assistance, and trust that you will find as much pleasure in reading the book as we have had in producing it. We have been very fortunate this year in securing as advertisers the most repre- sentative firms in their respective lines. We take this opportunity to thank them for their patronage, and hope that the investment will be profitable for them. We would appreciate it very much if the students who read their advertisements, remember the advertisers, and after they leave Armour, take every opportunity to bring business to the firms who have been so kind as to place their advertising with us, as one good turn deserves another in return. After copy had been sent in to the printer, we were informed that there had been a change in the V. M. C. A. management, caused by the resignation of L. W. Close, the former president. Wm. V. Lindblom was elected to fill the unexpired term. In our endeavors to produce the Cycle, the staff has received much valuable assistance from many of the students, faculty and others. We desire to acknow- ledge our indebtedness and express our thanks to the following men especially, who have helped to a great extent to make the book what it is: Artists E. F. Schreiber C. C. Cruttenden R. H. Zook C. E. Wolfley George Clark S. M. Peterson B. K. Gibson A. T. Newsom Literary and Other Contributors Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus T. J. Kiene Prof. J. E. Snow W. L. Gillidette Dean H. M. Raymond F. Hook Prof. W. G. Smith H. A. Rook Dean L. C. Monin F. U. Smith A. N. Grossman The Koehnc Studio had charge of the photographic work, and by their unfailing courtesy and accommodation, did much to add to the success of the work. The engraving work was done by the Bureau cf Engraving of Minneapolis, Minn., and the printing and binding by the Rogers Printing Company of Dixon, Illinois. We have dedicated the Cycle this year to Prof. Alfred Edward Phillips, the head of the Civil Engineering Department. Prof. Phillips came to the school in 1899 when the Department was organized. He holds the friendship and respect of all with whom he has come in contact, and we dedicate this book to him as an expression of the regard in which he is held by the Class of 1914. 172 ORGANIZATIONS THE STAFF Wm.

Success has been granted us to a large extent in the pursuance of the last phase of the above policy, many articles of varying types having been published. The general style of the paper has been maintained, with the following excep- tions. A standard cover was adopted throughout the year, and handset box head- ings were freely used in the body of the paper, making a more pleasing appear- ance. The department of “Tech Tachs” was assimilated by that of the “exhaust,” since they were of much the same nature and edited by the same man. The management has been able to dispose of a number of copies equal to approxi- mately fifty-six percent of the college enrollment, a common percentage. 173 ORGANIZATIONS 174 ORGANIZATIONS At the time The Armour Engineer was started, we had already two college publications, the “Fulcrum,” issued monthly, and the “Integral,” an annual. These two journals were devoted to the purely local interests of the Armour Institute of Technology, and the first was intended for circulation among the students, largely as a newsy medium to keep alive the college spirit. However, we were more ambitious than this, and it was thought that, among the alumni there should be many engineers whose opinions on subjects of engineer- ing importance would be worth while, and whose loyalty might be sufficiently great to keep up a publication of a somewhat different type, namely, a purely technical one, devoted only to science and engineering. It was intended that this journal, The Armour Engineer, should be representative of the progress in engi- neering made by the alumni of the Armour Institute of Technology, and that it should be a high-grade technical journal, not at all devoted to student activities, or to the activities of the alumni, except in a professional way. The Armour Engineer has now a large circulation among engineers and others whose opinions are of importance; articles appearing in it have been copied in many quarters, some in foreign countries, and The Engineer is being built up into a tech- nical periodical which reflects considerable credit upon the Armour Institute of Technology and its alumni by the engineering excellence of its articles. The men in charge of the publication this year have done good work both in the business and editorial departments, and the advantage of the new system, adopted this year, of having four men on the staff instead of two as in former years, is appar- ent. E. Menke and R. Y. Whitmore have done excellent work in the editorial department and F. W. Hook and H. F. Smith have brought the advertising depart- ment to a paying basis. 171� HAIUPH'H vzouumpa ORGANIZATIONS I7S SOCIAL 179 SOCIAL foetal Eebteto 'The social life at Armour has seen a decided improvement during the past year. This statement is supported by the fact that a new fraternity has been established and a new society organized. The latest addition to the college fraternities is Beta Phi. They started out this year with a chapter roll of about twenty-five men who live in their fraternity house on Calumet Ave. The Sigma Kappa Delta fraternity has recently moved into a new house on Calumet Ave. The Delta Tau Delta fra- ternity has moved from 3142 to 3219 Michigan Ave. Their present home is a three story building and has a very beautiful interior. The house is very well laid out and equipped with a great many conveniences, such as fire-places, elevator, etc. The Fire Protection engineering students have organized themselves into a Fire Protection Engineering Society. The need of such an organization has long been felt and will no doubt be of great benefit to the Fire Protection students. All of the dances given so far this year have been successful in every way. The question of financing dances has caused a great deal of worry for the respective classes. This was due to the large deficits of last year’s dances. The dances this year, however, have all resulted in a profit, which is probably due to the fact that the idea of having expensive programs has been discarded. This has resulted in a great saving in all the class dances and is certainly a step in the right direction, as expensive programs are no longer in good form. The various functions are given on the social calendar. iso SOCIAL Junior Week Marshals ist Marshal ..... Fred C. Farrar 2nd Marshal (In charge of Junior Play) Clark C.

SOCIAL The 8th annual Junior week, May 5-10,1913 was one to which that illustrious class of ’14 as well as the rest of the college may well look back to and echo with one voice, just 14’s style. Starting with the Alumni-Varsity game, our evening with the Junior Prom at the Colonial, the Mardi Gras spirit never flagged. On the afternoon of May 5, the “old boys” staged their plays against a younger generation and to the spectators at least, the old guards played in true varsity form. The hit of the game was the Trinkaus trio, what with Trinkaus ’08, pitching for the alumni, Trinkaus ’15, fielding for Tech, and Trinkaus, Sr. arbitrating behind the bat it was a lively scene. Tuesday the 6th was reserved for “Looking for Mary Jane.” And right here we must stop and tell you, kind reader, that making up the searching party to look for the lost one was a difficult task, and to none should be given greater credit than to the players, the author, the management, and those who came to the Mission with their own “Janes” to search for an hour or two, and be recorded with the find- ing of that illustrious maid. (This does not leave anybody without thanks and so we may all be satisfied.) The cast of the illustrious company was as follows: Gordon Barber Art Moeller C. E. H. Wolfley Joe Wright F. N. Compton H. C. Nertney F. W. Hook Louis Hirsh Wallace Steininger Joseph Zavertnick Globe Trotters Landlady’s daughter Mary Jane . A Maid An Opera Singer An Impressario A Chinaman A Detective And what a cast this was, but to get down to our story, as a dramatic critic would remark. But the story is well known to all, needless to remark, and though it might bear repetition we won’t repeat it as we are liable to spoil it. My Goodness, Agnes, did you ever sec such a “Jane” as one Mary Jane, alias Compton, with a SOCIAL neat figure, trim waist,beautiful complexion, and voice to make Onego wild,no wonder Moeller, Wolfley and Barber were after her, although they didn’t“want to do it,” before they saw her. The three gentlemen above named were typical col- lege men (and why shouldn’t they have been) and their acting was very good. Then there was Xcrtncy, the original Thompson’s or Weeghman’s fry one, sunny- side up, maid with her wigging mouth full of gum, her flirt of the feet and twist of the waist, one would have really thought to look at her that she was a real lady instead of an Armour architect. And talk about your “doll” of a land-lady’s daughter, Joe Wright takes the cake. Frank Hook or rather Mrs. Hook with his “Oh, what will Gastave do,” Louie Hirsh as a typical Russian Impressario, Walter Steininger with his Chinaman and Joe Zavertnick and Scxsmith as detectives, all helped to clap the climax, when Mary Jane was found. And oh what a crowd there was in the Mission to see that artful young lady (?) found, and what applause when the Chinaman’s nose bled real blood, and again what a multitudinous den of laughter, sighing, oh what’s the use, we could go on for cons and cons and then the praises of that cast would not have been fully sung. Suffice it to say that 14’s Junior Play not only was a money making one as well as a fun-making one, but there was shown real talent. (Believe those who saw it.) On Wednesday, May 7th, a dual track meet between A. I. T. and Lake Forest was staged on Ogden Field. Here again a great crowd was out to witness the affair. Lake Forest, or rather the Dunsmore family, were able to hang it on Armour, but they did not do it up as bad as theyr thought they were going to. “Long John’s team certainly looked good to the holiday crowd that was out. With Banners aglaring And Music ablaring. Thus the fourth day of ’14’s Junior week was opened. Thursday, May 8th, may be safety put down as the “ne plus ultra” day. On that day- one great affair was initiated, another was revived and the other one continued. We have refer- ence, of course, to the Circus Day tradition that was inaugurated by the Rooters’ Board, to the Cycle, which was like “a phoenix risen from its own ashes,” brought back, and then that marvel of marvels or rather that fun-maker, the Senior-Faculty baseball game. Who of us would dare to say which was the greatest, least of all ye Ed, therefore we will give them in order of occurrence. SOCIAL SOCIAL As early as 11:30 the crowd was out buying the revived year book, the 1913 Cycle. Large tents belonging to the Civil department were erected and the crowd pushed and pulled to get inside to buy it. On the inside the Cycle board was busy distributing their books and some advertising concern was distributing toilet articles gratis to every buyer of a book. The field looked like the good old times, with the fellows seated around in circles, each one reading his year book or looking for his picture. The Circus was scheduled for 1130 p. m., but as early as one o’clock the fun began. The board had caused to be printed advertising cards on one side of which a descrip- tion of the burning of “Math” was depicted poetically. At 1:15 the nigger baby stand was finished, each doll representing some Prof, with the name attached, and what a rush there was by the fellows to “glom” on the balls and fire at their favorite (?) Profs. The balls sold for 3 for 5 and each time a nigger baby was knocked down a cigar was given. “Long John” Schommer seemed to be very popular, or rather might we say unpopular, in a short time, for he was offering cigars to everybody who would take one. Hut it was left to the Profs to knock out some of their colleagues. Prof. Paul, being a very good shot, almost broke himself in two as he continually shot at his effigy. What a wailing and gnashing of teeth there must have been from the Profs who stood around the stand watching the fellows take out their spite, and what a turning of stomachs and dizziness of heads there must have been for the fellows who smoked the cigars. While this was going on, another great feature occurred. “The Escape of the Convicts,” staged by the Sophomore Chemicals. The “Beanery” had been labeled “Band House,” which was very appropriate for two reasons, one because of the escape of the Convicts, and the other because the Armour Rooters Band leaned against it most of the time it was playing. As it was, in the midst of the excite- ment, shots rang out from Johnny Schommer’s starting gun, and when the multi- tude turned to sec the cause of this excitement, it was discovered that a bunch of convicts, in regulation uniform, were sliding down a rope from the roof of the “Beanery.” Shot after shot rang out, but still they fled, until they reached the “haven of peace,” the other side of Ogden Field. Now occurred the justly famed parade. All the players of the day marched around, 1). B. Lesser, ’14, leading the Parade, with a large sign, “Tech Circus,” Agazim following with the sign “To hell with Math.” The Band followed this ominous omen, and then came the others, the “Electrical Man,” by Broyles, the Judge, Prosecutor, Math, etc., not leaving out the convicts who circled the field in lock step. A few minutes ensued, and then, while the Band kept playing, the trial of Math was gotten in readiness. The play was staged on the west side of the field near the grand stand, and the crowd literally thronged the grand stand. The setting was a court scene, with its jury box, judge’s table, reporter’s stand, etc. The cast was as follows: Trial of Math. Authors .H. Perlstein, ’14, I). B.

C. 64, the Junior Class, bending under his burden, the Jury of Convicts, etc. The Judge solemnly swore in the Jury, and the Prosecuting Attorney told the story concisely, then called the plaintiff who, old, decrepit and ready to fall from exhaustion, told how he had been dragged into the classes of Palmer Leigh, Pell and that arch-demon Campbell. He had not yet rid himself of Campbell, for he carried on his back a great book labeled “Campbell’s Soup,” under which strain he almost tottered. With tears he depicted his wrongs, the meanwhile the unseen Math was chuckling with a grim smile. When the Prosecutor pointed out Math to the Junior Class, the latter, overwhelmed, standing on his last legs, created a commotion in court by throwing a fit, and it was a hard struggle for the bailiff and others to bring him to. The Prosecutor then rested his case, and Math started out to cross- examine the plaintiff. Arrogantly he began to question the poor unfortunate, and to cap the climax, he asked the Junior Class what the cosine of 9750, 15'28 was, and even when he was reprimanded for using profanity, he persisted, and when the poor Junior Class stated “that was not in the lesson” he raised a high “ha! ha! he! he!” He closed by saying that all students at A. I. 'I'. were idiots, “except of course, the Jury,” but it was seen that even with the compliment, the Jury had de- cided his case. The Prosecutor then resumed the plea, and with a heart-rending, tear-bringing speech, demanded that the defendant by judged guilty of murder in the first degree. The Judge, portly, proud, and with august mien, charged the Jury to bring a verdict of guilty. The Jury then looked at one another, nodded to the foreman, who then handed the Judge the sign “guilty.” Then and there the multitude went wild with joy, they threw arms around each other and wept happy tears. The Judge declared that Math must be burned at the stake, which he was, and what a great burning there was and what a happy spirit there was in the crowd and with what a happy mien the Junior Class dropped his math and joyously poured the kerosene on the prostrate body of the guilty one. A relay race was run between the Radies and the Convicts, which the Radies won. Then the interdepartment relay race was run, with the Civils “copping” the first place and the banner. The Radies again tried to become millionaires by stag- ing Zubelda, “the great and only one” for a dime, and the Profs and their wives said it certainly was a fine show’. Wrestling and fencing matches then took the floor, and the great Frenchman, the renowned fencer Fitterman, now Mol Devaneau, was beaten by Miranda. The red hots and sandwiches sold to a great extent, the fellows buying them for their “Janes.” Now the tents were taken down, the field court removed, and the Senior-Faculty game was staged, and what a game! Oh, fellows, the Profs skinned the wild Sen- iors by the trifling score of 17 to 13. (Read about it in the sporting sheet.) On Friday night, the classes held their banquets, and these were notable affairs from all standpoints. Dean Raymond, the guest of honor of the Junior Banquet, made a great speech, in which he exhorted the Junior Class of ’14 to keep up their good work of previous years and hold to the Honor system. The Junior Prom was the best dance of the year; it was held on Saturday, May 10, at the Colonial Club. This was a financial as well as a social success, and a good time was had by all. Taking it all in all, ’14’s Junior week was a memorable one, success was written over the “face of the week,” with blazing letters ’14 feet high. Much credit must be given to the Rooters Association whose efforts helped to make the week a success. 1ST SOCIAL Marshals of Junior Week L. S. Downey ....

DOW mY 188 SOCIAL Home Concert The Home Concert of the Glee and Mandolin Club was held in the Mission on Friday evening, March the thirteenth. The Concert was without a doubt the best concert the Glee and Mandolin Clubs have ever given at Armour, and everybody that was not present certainly missed an exceptional treat. Due to a sudden illness, it was not possible for Mr. Evan W illiams to be present. The numbers that were to be sung by Mr. Williams were filled by the Central Church Choir, Mr. Prothero and his daughter. This substitution was made possible through the efforts of Dr. Gunsaulus, who deserves a hearty vote of thanks for the keen interest shown. We should have greatly appreciated Mr. Evan Williams, and regret that he was unable to be with us, but we must take off our hats to Dr. Gunsaulus with the Cen- tral Church Choir, Mr. Prothero and his daughter. Their music was enthusiasti- cally received. The opening number on the program was given by the Glee Club. It was quite evident from the applause that the Club had made a decided hit. The work of the Mandolin Club was excellent, and the audience showed its appreciation by its hearty response. The new Armour song, written by S. W. Anderson ’15, was well received and due credit must be given to its author. The success of the Glee Club is mostly due to the constant work of Mr. W. G. Smith who has been untiring in his efforts to bring the Glee Club up to its present high standard. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs have been efficiently managed by Mr. John Jucker, Jr. Two of the selections by the Mandolin Club deserve special mention: “Tim- buctoo” and selections from “II Trovatore.” Both clubs appeared in the feature numbers “Dream Days” and “Swing Along.” One of the main attractions of the evening was a dance by Mr. and Mrs. Castle. The dance was a take off on the tango by Mr. Lauletta and “escort.” The possi- bilities of the dance were unfolded at a mile a minute rate which showed considerable dexterity on the part of the dancers. The feats accomplished were indeed remark- able and at times it was difficult to distinguish one from the other in the mad whirl. The crowd that assembled nearly filled the Mission. The alumni responded in large numbers as did the parents of the students. It was indeed gratifying to see the interest shown by so many of the alumni and the parents of the students, which only goes to show that there is a far wider interest in the school and its doings than we sometimes think. The way to keep up this interest is to have a Home-Coming that will bring out this true Armour spirit. 189 SOCIAL ®fje Atelier Owing to the glorious success of the Junior Play of last year, in which practically all of the leading parts were taken by architects, the Atelier decided to give a play of its own. Wolflcy offered to act as manager, and his offer was readily accepted. He accordingly started looking up a good show and finally decided on “Friday, the Thirteenth,” which was written especially for us by Miss Helen F. Bagg. Rehear- sals were started early in December and from a large number of candidates, the cast as given below was finally picked. The play was given on Wednesday, February 4th, in Fullerton Hall, Art Institute. There were two performances, one at 4:15 P. M. and one at 8:15 P. M. The leading part, that of the temperamental author- prof., was admirably taken by Gordon Barber. Chester Wolfley, as Jack Foster, was a regular scream, and for the fellows who took girls’ parts, well, nothing like that had ever been seen in the Art Institute before and the crowd went wild. The play was a great success from nearly every standpoint, and everyone who took part in it has just reasons for feeling proud. Many very complimentary things have been said of the play, but the letter written us by Secretary Carpenter of the Art Institute, is especially gratifying, as the Art Students give several plays each year and he pronounced ours as being the best one ever given in the building.

A large reservation was made, by the Rooter’s board, at the American Music Hall. The play for that evening was, “The Ham Tree,” in which the famous comedians, MacIntyre and Heath, played the principal parts. It was very easy to be seen that the central section of the main floor was alive and awake so as to catch all that came their way. This was especially shown when Heath made a shot at the Civil Engineers in reference to “being good doughnut shovelers.” A great many of the students are thinking of taking a course in agriculture so that they may grow ham and egg trees. The egg tree idea appealed more to the freshmen. The freshmen seemed to devote most of their time and energy to clapping at inopportune times. The question remains as to whether they were trying to queer the show or just didn’t know any better. Any way they wound up the performance with nine rahs for the chorus. The crowd then adjourned to the Mandarin Inn and “partook of a slight repast.” 192 SOCIAL Cfje jfresrtjtnan Smoker After the usual preliminary stirring, the crowd settled down to have a ton of powder exploded in its face, which made everybody look bug-eyed for a while. It is very probable that the camera could not stand the strain, as the picture did not turn out very well. As one looked over the crowd it resembled a sunflower patch, due to the brilliant “orange peel” hats of the students. There was considerable question for awhile as to whether the show was going to be held on the stage or across the street in the third story of one of the flat buildings. After the lights went out across the street, the attention of the crowd returned to the stage where “Gus” Heritage was vainly trying to make several announcements. He pleaded with the mob to keep the bill for damages as low as possible. The new Armour yells invented by Perlstein, Lesser and Heritage were then rehearsed and were taken up enthusiastically by all of the students. The World’s Greatest Smith and W. G. Glee Club was the first real number on the program- The song “Dancing at the Flower Garden Ball,” was sung and illustrated by some classy “tawngo dawncing.” The next number was the Bell Brothers, otherwise acrobats, who recklessly threw themselves about in time with the stamping of the freshmen’s feet. They were followed by the Ted Snyder Trio, who “kitzled” us with some new ones and left altogether too early to suit us. Just about this time, Prexy walked in with the incomparable Prothero,with “Philadelphia” up his sleeve. Then came Mrs. Prothero, Mrs. Hodge and Mrs. Moses Brand. Mr. Brand sang us several songs which certainly made a hit. Our old friend Prothero was made to sing “Philly” and the “Old Black Marc.” The next number on the program was Mr. Stevens, a “Professor of Legerde- main,” who entertained us a while before we departed for the serious scene of the night. In solemn (?) but orderly file a long column of yellow and black hats wended 193 SOCIAL its way south to 6oth street. All along the way people rushed to their windows and doors to find out what the riot was about. Everything that was not cemented into the sidewalk seemed to take legs and mysteriously walk off. The crew finally assembled on the Midway in the depression opposite the Harper Memorial Library. The Freshmen and Sophomores then removed their coats, hats, etc. in preparation for the battle. The ’15 flag was placed in the middle of the field and two lines made one hundred paces on the east and west side of the flag. The sophomores arrayed themselves behind the West line and the freshmen behind the East line. At a given signal the two armies rushed for the flag. The scene that followed cannot be described, but looked like a big pile of seething, writhing and clawing humanity. The flag was finally pushed down to the west end of the field, which gave the victory to the freshmen. This was probably due to the fact that the Freshman out numbered the Sophs two to one. The battlefield after the fray was littered with shirt tails, collars and neckties. Several lost and found departments were soon established and everybody was able to get some kind of a hat. About that time a “paddy” wagon full of cops appeared and escorted the crowd to the street cars. The students finally arrived at the Mandarin Inn, where they cemented their friendship in yelling the old and new yells with weary but undaunted lungs. it, CLiPPiri d f . . -T- ... — ,. . _ , rrnik'la nBir.'b from Thirty-ninth street «iff mmmm CLASS HIT CAR PANIC Armour Freshmen and Sopho- mores Elude Police and Hold Revel on Midway.

M. C. A. The purpose of the Handshake, which comes at the very begin- ning of the fall term, is to acquaint the new-comer with his surroundings and also to promote a brotherly spirit between him and the upper classmen. The gathering was first favored with a few selections of vocal talent rendered by Mr. W. G. Smith. By popular demand Mr. Smith sang “Professor Max Dinger, the Baritone Singer,” this being followed by the usual deafening clamor. Mr. Harry Perlstein ’14 was then called upon to explain the meaning of A. R. A. which stands for Armour Rooters’ Association. Not only was the object of the organization brought out, but also a statement of what the A.R.A. had done during its first year on earth toward promoting school spirit. The entertainment committee was fortunate in securing the remnants of last year’s Glee Club, who, without any rehearsals since the previous season, ren- dered some of their former song hits, among them being the Y. G. S. Armour Alma Mater song. The Club did remarkably well, in spite of their long separation. Professor McMullen gave his annual talk on the why and wherefor of Tau Beta Pi, Armour’s honorary fraternity. It is essential that this talk should be presented at the Handshake, for the lower classmen should know of such matters at the be- ginning of their course. The object of the Y. M. C. A. at Armour was brought forth by Professor Wilcox, Chairman of the Advisory Committee. The fundamental object as was stated, is to promote general good fellowship between the students. Professor Wilcox has given much thought and effort toward improving the conditions of the Association and the present standing of the organization should be credited largely to him. President Gunsaulus came steaming up in his “four cylinder” with two rare treats. We had somewhat expected Mr. Prothcro (alias “Philadelphia”) who, as usual took the house by storm, but the real surprise of the evening was the presence of Mrs. Hodge of the Central Church Quartet, who sang a song of “A Mother at Home” with such beauty that more than one freshman would have resorted to his “hanky,” had not the sophomores been present. By this time the soup was getting cold, so the congregation turned their atten- tion to the principal business of the evening, which consisted of the usual bill of fare. The Handshake, as a whole was the best in years, and was greatly appreciated by the large crowd which attended. 195 SOCIAL c Mentor Bance The annual Senior Dance was held Friday evening, November 21st, at the Colonial Club. The members of the social committee of the Senior Class dis- tinguished themselves by the excellent manner in which the affair was conducted and for the programs which were decid- edly unique and original. Several of the students were under the impression that it would be impossible to bring out an original program. The social committee, however, put one over in this respect. In view of the fact that there is con- siderable agitation on the part of the present administration in regard to the tango, it has been suggested that there be a censorship committee appointed. The person that seems to be most suitably fitted for the chairmanship of such a committee is our revered fellow student, Trinkaus. The valuable advice of Lauletta and Grossman would be greatly appreciated, as the latter is an absolute authority on the tango. The recent dance also developed the fact that we have a few enus dancers in our midst who made us sit up and take notice. A few of our young hopefuls in the Freshman Class also made a remarkable showing at this early stage of the game. The success of the dance was due to the efTorts of the following men: F. L. Brewer, J. M. Emslie, W. H. Hallstein, Frank Hook and H. D. Gumpper. Cfjc Junior Bance The Junior Class started out this year with the idea in view of making every event a big success, and so far they have certainly achieved their object. The annual dance, held at the Colonial Club gave them a flying start. This dance had the best record for attendance of any of the dances held so far this year. The attendance exceeded the expectations of the social committee, with a result that the supply of programs ran short early in the evening. The increase over the Senior dance is probably due to the fact that the students have learned the new dances better and arc not so backward in making a public appearance. The music was rendered by Anderson’s orchestra. The social committee con- sisted of: H. F. Aiming, W. H. Rietz, S. W. Anderson, L. D. Hook and H. P. Sherwood. 190 SOCIAL opfjomore Battce The annual Sophomore dance was held at the Colonial Club on Friday evening, March the 27th. The dance was a great success, and everybody spent a very en- joyable evening. Cohn and Fuick’s orchestra played with a lot of snap and life, and the music was enthusiastically received by the dancers. The old idea of giving out expensive programs has been done away with as the less expensive program serves the purpose just as well and does not add additional expense to the cost of the dance. This greatly reduces the financial burden placed upon the various classes. The social committee consists of the following students: A. S. Alter, A. Katzinger, J. C. Dolan, C. L. Bolte, E. R. Eames. Jfresljman ZDance The Freshman dance is always one of the events which is awaited with much interest, chiefly because everyone is wondering how the class is going to handle its first social undertaking. This Freshman dance was billed to be about the best affair of its kind given in recent years. Without exaggeration it may be said that this prediction was fulfilled in every way. The dance was held on Friday evening, April 4th, at the Colonial Club. The music which was furnished by Gorman’s Orchestra, was beyond criticism. The success of the affair was due to the following men of the Freshman social committee: Lamb, chairman; McGrath, Wollaston, Mattern, Stuebing. 3|allotoe’en i)op Soft strains of “Trcs Moustarde” entice us onward. We wander forward with the crowd. Masterpieces of sculptural art cause us to pause and gaze with admir- ation. We come out onto the balcony—there is color everywhere. In the glim- mering twilight happy couples tango here and there. Joyfully we enter into the spirit of things. We receive a beautiful creation, an entirely new departure in the way of programs. And so in the Blackstone Hall, amidst the international archi- tecture, the first dance of the year was given by the Architects. The dances given by the Architects are always well attended, especially the informals given in Black- stone Hall, which is particularly appropriate for the dances. 197 SOCj L bz-Tri-J-d jij Btrlr ALt A nATER c ri wolo .smith Beest bz our Ah - ma Ma-ter.

Schommer The season of 1913 in athletics at “Armour Tech.” was a success from two points of view. One, from the number of men who were wise enough to exercise their bodies as well as their minds, and the other, the devel- opment of physical skill to a point of supremacy in competition against other youths. Sleep has ever been the best rest cure for the higher faculties and nervous disorders. To induce a sound sleep, nothing yet, short of harmful drugs, has been discovered that will take the place of regulated outdoor play. It is nature’s best tonic. Play exercises the lower functions of the brain and rests the higher. It tires the body and makes one sleep. In its enjoyment, the exercise strengthens the body, and therefore all the other organs are benefited. Hence the athletic department of the Tech, is inter- ested in inducing every student to spend part of his day in healthful recreation. In lieu of the fact that so many men have been interested enough to come up to the gymnasium and out on the field for exercise, the depart- ment feels highly gratified. Some sixty men were out for track; thirty for baseball; and about twenty for basketball. In competitive sports the Tech, had a successful year. The basketball season ended with Armour in third place instead of last place as in the previous year. Several games were lost by a close score. The “five” were green insofar as having played with each other and this alone would badly handicap any combination. The best thing that can be said of the team is, they were not “quitters.” To be a fighter in the face of defeat with a “stick-to-it spirit” is a sterling quality to be proud of. In Track, the “Tech’s” regenerated venture was a better success than that of the previous year. While the boys got the same position, fourth, as did the team of 1912, yet the points scored were vastly different. This season the team secured 19 points in the Conference meet against 4$ of their predecessors. Johnson, Katzin- ger, and Barr each won a first. Barr broke the record when he cleared 5' 8” in the high jump and Katzinger broke the broad-jump record with a leap of 21' 7 . Two dual meets were lost to Lake Forest and two were won from North-Western College. In Baseball, Armour won its greatest athletic distinction. It won the “Little Five” Championship and went through the entire season with but one defeat. North-Western University was defeated, as was the University of Chicago. The U. of C. won the Western Conference Championship and the “Tech.” handed them two defeats. One of the games went twelve innings and was won by a home-run hit by Joe Lindquist in the twelfth. Don Hamilton, Kahn, Joe Lindquist, and Spencer, the Captain, closed their athletic career for Armour. I take this opportunity to thank those who tried hard, in sacrificing their time and energy to make their letters, but were unsuccessful. I am sure they enjoyed the time spent and undoubtedly received much benefit. “They also serve who stand and wait.” 203 ATHLETICS PRESIDENT Prof. W. K. Smart SECRETARY A.

The members of the “Little Five” are Knox College of Galesburg, Illinois; Monmouth College of Monmouth Illinois; Lake Forest College of Lake Forest, Illinois; Beloit College of Beloit, Wis- consin, and Armour Institute of Technology. At the last meeting of the Conference Board, Prof. W. K. Smart of Armour was elected president for the year, in place of Mr. Coffeen, the former president, who was formerly a professor at Armour, and has been president since the founding of the association. 204 ATHLETICS H.n.-HAYncmD 20.'.

Carver, Baseball, Basketball, Tennis, etc., is the way our old standby, “Bugs,” should sign his name to that di- ploma of his. A1 has been pitcher on the A. I. T. baseball team for three years, and is our great “white hope” for a championship team this year. For the past four seasons, he has been the star forward of the Tech Five, and the record of leading point-getter and free throw artist in the Little Five Conference is the laurel won by him. Besides this, he has been tennis champion at the Institute as long as we can remember. “Bugs” is a scrapper through and through. He is a clean sportsman, fast and tricky, and we all know that he does not lack grey matter. Jr— Clark C. Heritage In the athletic records of Armour Institute, “Gus” Heritage’s name will probably appear as many times as that of any other fellow. As star guard for the basketball team for the past three years, Clark has terrorized a num- ber of forwards by his nervy playing. He is in the game every minute of the time, and is game to the very core. He has taken part in all the athletics of the class of 1914, as well as in the various other activities of the class. “Gus” is largely responsible for the formation of the Armour “Honor A” society and of the Armour Rooters Association. A better and a harder worker for the school, and its athletics especially, has never been enrolled at Armour. 20« ATHLETICS John M. Emslie “Dink,” as he is known to the followers of athletics at Armour, won his emblem in his sophomore year. He is one of the best basketball players in the Institute, but owing to his studies, and to other outside work—he plays with Auburn Park—he was unable to continue as right forward for the Tech basketball team. When John was in the game, he never shirked his position, and always played a fast and clever game. He is noted for his accurate basket shooting, and is a fighter from the ground up. Emslie has also sup- ported his class athletics up to the very limit. He has played baseball and basketball with his class team every year, and was always there in a pinch. William H. Hallstein “Dutch” is a victim of Armour ath- letics. It all happened during the first year he was in our midst. In that year, when the call was issued for basketball candidates, William H. was one of the quickest to report, and had little trouble in making one of the guard positions his own private property. It was while in this capacity, that Hallstein injured his knee so badly that he has been unable to take part in any of our regular basketball games. Since then, however, “Dutch” has taken part in class basketball, class baseball and class track. He won his second “A” as a star track man last year, and due to his good work, was elected captain for 1914. We can say this for Hallstein, that he is a clean, honest and earnest worker in school as well as in athletics. Ask Dean Monin about the expense report he sub- mitted while he was student manager of the baseball team. Allan W. Barr With the return of Track to the realms of Armour ath- letics, came the appearance of our star high-jumper, being none other than the slim, agile and speedy A. W. Barr. Barr starred for the Tech, in all their meets, usually copping first prize whenever he entered. He took first place at the Little Five Conference Meet at Lake Forest last year, and was forced to break a Conference record to do it. He has been a good supporter of his class athletics, and could always be counted on to win. He is a fine fellow, and is appreciated by the fair sex, as is shown by his recent entrance into the ranks of the bene- dicts. 207 ATHLETICS JmithaU Below we show the Football Germ (Lat., Germanibus Footballis), formerly prevalent at Armour, but now almost extinct. The sole survivor, which is kept under lock and key in the President’s office, is gradually pining away from lack of food and friends. One peculiarity of the germ is that it cannot be killed entirely, but will linger on for years in con- finement. However, if once permitted to escape the strict guard placed upon it, it will multiply with exceeding rapidity and spread throughout the school in a brief period, as the students are peculiarly susceptible to contagion by the germ. 20$ ATHLETICS Fellows! Think of it! That Tech baseball team, your own school team, was the Champion Team of the Middle West last season. There was no luck about it, no freak of the great American game that made us the best team in the West. No, nothing like that, for it was good old, and new baseball, taught under John J. Schommer, that turned the trick. To Schommer should go the credit for being the best baseball coach in the middle west, for he certainly made a team for us which was the best in the west and one of which we should all be proud. Another man who did much toward making the team what it was, and who captained the team to its many victories, was Charlie Spencer, who graduated last year; as did Joe Lindquist, the best first baseman and all around player that Tech ever knew, who won the game from Chicago U. with a home run in the twelfth inning. The team was able to get an early start in its spring training because of the fair weather conditions. When it did happen to be a little cold or wet, it did not excuse the candidates from practice, for then they were required to report in the gym and heave the pill around up there. This, in fact, is the true reason for Ar- mour’s success. John Schommer sure made the fellows work for their “A’s.” Great credit should be given to the pitching staff of the team. A combination of “Bugs” Carver, Don Hamilton and Substitute Holt was almost enough to scare any team. Carver and Hamilton carried the brunt of the work and neither de- served to lose a game. The “Tech” opened its season by going out to Evanston and defeating one of the teams of the “Big Nine.” Northwestern was the first victim of the year. With Carver in the box, Armour won by the score of 5 to 4. The Tech was losing up to 200 ATHLETICS the eighth inning, when the big guns started to fire and Armour had enough runs to win before Northwestern realized what was happening. In the eyes of the college baseball world this was held to be an accident, so Schommer made it his business to schedule a game with the University of Chicago. On April 22nd, the team traveled out to the Midway, accompanied by several hun- dred members of the Armour Rooters’ Association, and in one of the hardest games ever played on Marshall Field, defeated the Chicago team in twelve innings by a 2 to 1 score. Joe Lindquist, our famous slugger and fence buster, settled the argu- ment with a homer over the left field wall in the final inning. Hamilton twirled the first five innings and then Carver took up the work and finished the game without a scratch. The first home game of the year was played on Ogden Field, April 24th. Here the Tech team took a glorious revenge for the drubbing they had received the year before, and shut out the Northwestern College team by a score of 3 to o. Carver twirled for the Tech and certainly twirled some classy baseball for he allowed them only three hits. The first conference game was played at Beloit against Beloit College on April 26th. Again the team had to fight an uphill battle, but they were equal to the task, and in the eleventh inning knocked the Beloit star and ex-Cub pitcher out of the box. Sullivan started things with a homer and after that they all hit the pill. The final score was 7 to 2, which was some finish, considering that it was an eleven inning game. Don Hamilton pitched a wonderful game for Armour and deserves all the praise possible. The Tech kept up its winning streak and on April 30th met the Lake Forest aggregation on Ogden Field and administered a 2 to 1 beating to their bitterest enemy. It was a hard fought game all the way through, and the only run that Lake Forest got was a fluke homer by Krueger. Both teams got the same number of hits, but ours were more “delicately selected.” “Bugs” Carver went the whole route for the Tech and was never once in danger. He whiffed eleven men, and did not walk any. Some twirling, eh? On May 6, the Tech team went out to the Midway for the second time, in order to settle a little argument over which Coach Schommer and Pat Page had been de- bating. As usual, our team trimmed the U. of C. nine. The final score was 6 to with Armour on the heavy end. Hamilton pitched a full game this time and treated the Midwayites just as he would have treated Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Honus Wag- ner or any of the other baseball players that he might have twirled against. This made the second time that the Tech team defeated the team which won the cham- pionship of the “Big Nine.” 210 Standing—Hamilton, Coach Schommer, Katzixcer, McDonald, Cooban, Hook, Hill, Holt, Asst. Coach Leyden, Trainer. Sitting—Miranda, Trinkaus, Kann, Captain Spencer, Sullivan, Carver, Herman. ATHLETICS The team next traveled to Galesburg, and on May 9 defeated Knox College by the overwhelming score of 12 to 2. The A. I. T. boys gathered some eighteen hits before the nin innings were over. Carver did the twirling and struck out thirteen of the Knox batters. If it had not been for a little slip in one inning, he would have easily made it a shut out game. While in that section of the country, the boys dropped over to Monmouth for a day, and trimmed the team there by a score of 3 to o. Don Hamilton held the enemy runless for the whole nine innings. Two games in two days is not a bad record at that Armour lost only one game during the entire season, and that was along toward the close of the season’s work. It happened at Lake Forest on May 14th. The Tech team got away to a bad start and after that the wonderful pitching of Krueger, for Coach Kennedy’s men, kept the Armour men from taking their usual spurt toward the latter part of the game. Four runs in the first inning proved the Tech’s undoing. Carver twirled die only loss of the year, but it certainly wasn’t his fault that the game was lost. The farce of the year was when Armour defeated Knox College on Ogden Field, May 16th. The final score was 19 to 1 and the hits recorded by Armour totaled 18. It was a regular parade of the Armour men around the bases. Hamilton pitched this game, but it did not need Don’s skill to defeat Knox. Several of the substi- tutes were given a chance to show their skill, and Miranda, Hill, Cooban and Mc- donald upheld the standard of the team. The ratio of the scores in this game just about shows the superiority of the Armour brand of baseball as compared with that of its rivals in the “Little Five.” In the concluding game of the year, the Tech team defeated Monmouth College on Ogden Field, May 22nd. The score was again rather lopsided, Armour getting the large end of a 16 to o score. Carver and Hamilton were both used in this game and between them they did not allow a single hit. This game again showed the typical Armour brand of baseball. Our team last year was the talk of the college baseball fans all over the Middle W est, and won a lasting reputation in the annals of western baseball. The team was given the silver loving cup, presented annually to the champion baseball team of the Middle West by A. G. Spaulding and Bros. Armour men certainly had a team to be proud of, for they certainly played clean, honest and perfect baseball throughout the entire year. At a banquet given to the “Champions of the Middle W est” by Mr. Hamilton at the Hotel LaSalle, Leonard Hook was chosen to captain the team for the season of 1913-14. k •212 ATHLETICS paseball Irani Spring 1913 John J.

Senior-Faculty Game The annual Senior-Faculty game took place on the fourth day of Junior Week, May 8. This great event of international interest and importance was witnessed with a great deal of enthusiasm by the entire college in general. The “Profs ’ as usual, won by a score of 19 to 15. Sounds like the score of a basketball game, but it wasn’t, it was baseball. The Profs knocked Israel all over the lot and amassed a total of 19 runs and 21 hits. McMullen only allowed the Seniors 13 hits from which they obtained 15 runs. Somebody must have made an error. Prof. ilcox having been sent to the minors before the game was called, did not make his ap- pearance. Score Faculty (19) Lydcn, S.S Leigh, C. Smart, C.F. McMullen, P. Pulsifer, 3B. Libby, 2B.

The Freshmen at the start were pitted against the Seniors, champs of last year. They had to play two games in order to see which was the master, bat the Freshman came out on top. In the first game, which re- sulted in a tie, with a score of 8 apiece, the Freshmen showed a good brand of base- ball. In the second game the Freshmen trounced the Seniors to the tune of 4 to 2. The Sophomores defeated the Juniors in a hard fought game by a score of 8 to 5. In this game “Tom” Sullivan made his appearance as a pitcher but the Sophs didn’t believe it. In the final game between the Freshmen and the Sophomores the Freshmen showed their superiority when they defeated the Sophs by a score of 2 to 1. It was a hard fought game, but the Freshmen had too much “pep” for the Sophs. The winning team was awarded sweaters as the spoils of victory. Again in the inter-class basketball series the Seniors lost another of their last year’s laurels. The Seniors first had to defeat the Juniors by a score of 28 to 16 in order to get into the semi-finals. This they did handily. The Sophomores trimmed the Freshmen to a tunc of 28 to 10. This left the championship between the Seniors and the Sophomores. The game was a poor exhibition by the champs of last year, and they were beaten by a score of 46 to 5. There were no individual sta-s on the Soph, team, for they all played brilliant ball. The second championship of the Institute went to the Sophomores when their track team walked away with the Inter-class track meet. They led the march, with the Juniors second, Seniors third and the Freshmen last. This athletic event again marked the downfall of ’14, for they were last year’s champs. This made the third championship lost by the class of ’14 in one year. Results of Class Baseball Series Class Won Lost PcT.

The fight that they put up for the good old flag was one that the other members of the Conference will not forget for some time. The season ended on February 27th, when the Tech, team walloped the crimson colored warriors from Monmouth to the tune of 21 to 14. In the Conference race, Beloit grabbed off the championship, with the Lake Forest quintet in the second berth, and then Armour, Knox and Monmouth in the order named. At the beginning of the season our prospects were never brighter, for we had John Schommer as coach and four of last year’s men, Heritage, Katzinger, Carver, and Sullivan as the nucleus of the new team. With this quartet, who had been the stellar attractions on the team of the preceding year, and the prospects of drawing a star center from last year’s Freshman team, we had high hopes for the championship. We had in the substitute material several of last year’s men and some new ones. Greenspahn and Trinkaus were out for the guard positions, and Wilcox, King and Clay were able substitutes for the forward positions. Carver captained the team from the right forward position and he officiated as only “Bugs” can do. He proved the star of the team by his great .‘hooting and free throwing. W ith his wonderful speed and cleverness Carver made himself one of the most dangerous forwards in the conference. Sully, with his overload of “pep and fight was in the game every minute and always seemed to be in front of the ball wherever it was thrown. Sully is a scrapper and most of the guards that played against him can tell of what he is built. “Sully” once said he had a weak heart. “Quitcherkiddin, Sully!” At the guard positions were two men who never shirked work all the time they were in the game. Heritage held down the right guard position, and did it so well that the score book shows very few baskets for his opponent forwards. Gus shot a good many baskets for the Tech 220 'lop Row— Asst. Coach Lydkn. Heritage, Lamb, Coacii Schommer. Row—Clay, Sui.i.ivan, Greenspahx, Wilcox. Middle Row—King, Captain Carver, Katzingkr. Lower ATHLETICS team, dropping through sixteen “markers” before the season ended. He lived up to that character in the Armour basketball world which made him captain of his team last year. At the other guard position was Art Katzinger, of the class of ’16. He made the team when he was a freshman, and from the present outlook, he will still be playing when he reaches his Senior year. Art is a born basketball player, and that is all there is to it. He plays that job of his as though his life depended on smearing a forward who even attempted to shoot a basket. He is one of the cleverest and cleanest players we have had, and when he is in the game, his own forward, the rest of the opposing team, his teammates, the coach and the spectators all know it. The star find of the season was none other than a tall, good-natured, and so- ciable Freshman in the person of our friend Lamb. Towering six feet two and a half inches, and having 170 pounds to back it up, Lamb came straight from high school basketball to Schommer, and it did not take long for John to round him into one of the sensations of the season. He tied with Heritage in the number of baskets shot, but he led them all in the matter of personal fouls. One thing about personal fouls: they show that a fellow is in the game heart and soul, but that once in a while he makes a slip and then the referee blows the whistle. This great quintet needed very few substitutes throughout the entire season, so it is hard to say anything as to the work of the men who served as substitutes. Great credit is due to Mr. H. J. Springer of the athletic department, who acted as the trainer of the team. His never tiring services and his good will in doing things for the team which were not exactly in the line of his duties as Physical Instructor of the Gym, should be greatly appreciated by the whole institute, for Harry is a true and hearty good-sportsman. Our team seemed to be playing in hard luck during the entire season. In fact, we lost the championship by only ten points—five baskets, or four baskets and two free throws, or any other way you can figure it out to make the small total of ten. The following dope is official, and comes from a good source. “If the Tech team had won the remaining seven games after they were walloped by the Beloit outfit at that town on January 7, they would have been champs instead of Beloit.” Now this is absolutely true, and if you will follow as the points turn up, you will see for yourself. After the Beloit defeat, the team had a practice game with Northwestern College, and was badly defeated by the score of 46 to 21. Following this came the semifinals—not in basketball, but in the few studies we happen to have. After the exams were over, the team traveled to Galesburg and Monmouth. In the first game of the trip, played against Knox College, Armour lost a heart- breaking game to the downstatc bunch by a score of 21 to 20. A Knox substitute tossed a goal in the last thirty seconds of play, and the Tech lost by one point. Although this defeat was enough to take all the pep out of them, the next day the team turned around and sailed into the Monmouth aggregation, cleaning them up at their own barn, by a score of 24 to 19. Carver was the leading man, while Lamb was put out of the game for fouling. This was one of the four games that the Tech did win. On February 9, Lake Forest visited us and we had a little scrap in the Institute Gym. Armour lost by a score of 30 to 25. The referee missed quite a few in this game, enough to total five points at least. Carver again led in the shooting, while Katzinger nailed his man every time he turned around. This was the second game we lost by a close score, being only five points behind when the gun was fired. With a vengeful spirit, the team traveled to Lake Forest for the next game, and when they came away from that burg, their ire had been amply- satisfied. They had spoiled Lake Forest’s chances for the championship, incident- ally administering a severe licking to the North Shore bunch, the final score being 222 ATHLETICS 29 to 15. In this game, Lamb, the new wonder, leaped into the lime-light. lie tossed five baskets, and proved a big factor in the winning of the game. On Febru- ary 20, the boys handed Knox a defeat on our floor, to the score of 26 to 20. This was more revenge for the team for the defeat in which Knox had nosed us out by one point. Lamb deposited five counters, while Katzinger and Heritage each held down their men to a very low score. This made it three and three for the season so far. Then, at our home Gym we were bumped by the Beloit five by a score of 22 to 18. Our hoys had them beaten in the first half by a margin of six points, but in the second session, when Beloit saw their championship hopes growing dim, their team made a wonderful spurt and came away with the game by outplaying the Tech. boys. Again the referee helped our opponents, and the result was that we lost our third hard luck game by four points. Here Carver once more made some wonderful goals, totaling four in all, and tossed four free throws. He scored twelve of Armour’s eighteen points. Sully, with that inevitable pep of his, proved a big factor and nearly upset the hopes of the Beloit team, and the guards certainly did some guarding that day. The season ended with a victory for Armour on their own floor, when Monmouth went down to the tune of 21 to 14. This game was staged as a farce, with poor shooting on both sides, each man who got the ball shutting his eyes and throwing in the direction of the basket. The 'Lech team thus lost its first game by an eighteen point margin, but they could have accepted this defeat and still come out ahead if they had won the other seven. The second game was lost by one point, the third by five and the fourth by four, while the other four games were won. Now, if the boys could have made just ten more points—1 plus 5 plus 4—they would have been the cham- pions of the Little Five Conference. Basketball Team—Season 1913-IQ14 John J. Schommer ....

Armour scored a total of 172 points to their opponent’s 168. Of these 172 points, 65 were field baskets and 42 were free throws. Of the 42 free throws, Carver dropped in 34 in all. Of the opponents’ 168 points, 71 were field baskets and 26 were free throws.

When the call was given for track, a large squad responded, among whom were dis- covered a considerable number of stars. John J. Schommer was the coach, and as usual, he made the fellows get out and work for their letters. Between John and his assistant, Andrew Lyden, the team was indeed well managed. Schom- mer also took charge of the track, and supervised its repair and improvements. We certainly have to hand it to him for his great work in the athletic department of the A. I. T. After the first call for candidates, the work for the coach began. This was a weeding out process to obtain the best team possible, and the results were a credit to the coach and his assistant. There were four track meets during the season, of which number Armour won two and lost two. The two victories were both at the expense of Northwestern College, one being on Ogden Field, and the other at Naper- ville. The two defeats were suffered at the hands of Lake Forest, one in that town and one on our own grounds. The first meet of the season, at Lake Forest, saw Armour come out on the small end of an 83 to 42 score. In the field events, the Tech beat their opponents 29 to 25, but they were weak on the track. The loss of King, one of the best sprint- ers we have had in the school for years, weakened the team, while the absence of Katzinger from the broad jump and Vandcrkicft from the weight events, helped to keep down our scores, but in spite of this, Armour won four first places. On May 3, the second meet of the year was held at Naperville. Armour won by 70 2 to 55L2, McKeage scoring 11 points, Sullivan 10, Landis 8J4 and Barr 7. The meet developed some new material, in that it showed that McKeage could throw the hammer and that Sexsmith, Landis and Holden knew how to run. In the third meet of the year, Armour fought it out with Lake Forest on Ogden Field, and went down to defeat by the score of 68 to 57 £. The Tech got five 225 ATHLETICS firsts and five seconds, and the gamcness of her boys was certainly splendid. Time and again it looked as though we were beaten in some particular event, when that inevitable ncver-say-dic spirit would rise up in our team and give us the victory. In the broad jump, Katzy showed them all how to hop. The fourth and last meet, when Naperville invaded Chicago, saw the Tech come off with the heavy end of a 76 to 49 score. Alter showed of what stuff he was made by taking a first in the 100 and a second in the 220. Altogether, our athletes got eight first places and eleven seconds, showing a wonderful improve- ment over the first meet. The fellows on the team deserve great credit for the way they stuck at their work. In the Little Five Conference meet held at Lake Forest, Armour drew fourth place, with Knox first, Lake Forest second and Beloit third. The Tech team scored three firsts, one second and one third. The winners of first place were Katzinger in the broad jump, Barr in the high jump, and Johnson in the pole vault. McKeage came out second in the hammer throw, and Kopald third in the same event.

It 'J vnj a 3 ! $ The annual spring and fall golf tournament of the Institute went to M. L. Wilcox. It seemed a walk-away for this sophomore in both of these tournaments, as shown by the list of large scores which he piled up against his adversaries. Such scores as 7 up and 8, 5 up and 6, 4 up and 3, show that Maurice had a splendid time of it. The only sad part throughout the whole series was that our hero of the “irons” had to defeat his dad twice, in order to win his medals. This he did without a murmur and in grand style. By the way, it’s not all honor that the winner gets as his spoils, but he receives a gold medal, bearing an inscription stating he is champion of the Ar- mour Institute, and believe us, there is some honor to that. Maurice has two of these Medals already and from present outlook is a fair bidder for a good many more before he leaves us. The tournament of last spring, which was the biggest of the two, dwindled down to Wilcox, Leigh, Stieninger, and McGuire. Wilcox took care of Walter in grand style and McGuire handled Leigh, but he had to be very cautious for fear of a slip, for 1 up don’t always insure victory when there arc still some holes to play. Wilcox and McGuire fought it out at Jackson Park and Wilcox gave Mac a trimming to the tune of 8 up and 6 to play. By the looks of the last score Maurice proved himself master of the situation. The fall tourna- ment of 1913 was every bit as hard fought as the spring tournament. The con- testants were almost the same but not so many in number. Again M. L. had to defeat G. M. in order to “cop,” but he seemed to be as equal to the task as he was in the spring. At the start of the semi-finals Kratz, Pond, Wilcox and G. M. Wilcox were left as possibilities for the honors. Maurice defeated his dad and Kratz took care of Pond. This left M. L. Wilcox and E. M. Kratz in the final round. Maurice again proclaimed himself champion of the Institute by defeating Kratz 4 up and 3 to play. M. Y. Wn.cox 230 ATHLETICS 2nd Round McMullen 6 and 5 Pond 2 and 1 Kratz 1 up Lewis default G. M.

Carver defeated Porges in the semi-finals and Arenberg defeated McMullen. On account of heavy work towards the end of the tournament, Carver could not play and so the medal went to Arenberg. A. L.

Although we have not, as yet, sent out any teams in competition, we have some stars here that could turn the trick. Under the careful instruction of Coach Harry J. Springer, several of the men have developed wonderfully. Harry is always on the job, and his coaching is authoritative, for he is a star in the Chicago Park Wrestlers Association. An opportunity is given to any student of the Tech to enter the class if he desires. Wrestling is a wonderful aid in building up the mind and body. Harry Mouat, one of our men in the 115 pound class, entered the A. A. F. Wrestling Tournament, and came away with a gold medal for first place. This is our first trophy in the wrestling game, Harry, so keep up the good work. Fencing During the latter part of last year, and up to the present time this year, the management of the Gymnasium department has been trying to introduce the art of fencing. Several hours have been set aside from the regular periods, for the sole purpose of fencing. Mr. X. C. Moldevaneau has had charge of the class in fencing, and has ably instructed several of the men who have come out. Fenc- ing is a good exercise, and helps to develop the eye as well as quickencss of thought and action. More of the fellows who have one or the other of the periods off, should take advantage of this special privilege. Chess In the recent Intercollegiate Chess Tournament of the Middle West, an Armour man came out at the head of the bunch, and tied for first place. He is a Sopho- more by the name of Swartz, but that don’t make any difference, for we all know that he is some star chess man. In order to win he had to play simultaneously on two boards, and not only that, but had to win seven straight games. He proved himself master of the situation and made a name for himself in College Chess circles. 234 HUMOR intimor Humor has been well defined as “A kindly appreciation of the ludicrous.” It is to the mind what play is to the muscles, a relaxation and recreation from the serious business of life. We live under a nervous tension and a good laugh serves to restore us to equilibrium. Humor is the safety valve which prevents too great a strain. It develops the habit of cheerfulness and is a great aid to the digestion. There arc no better remedies for pessimism than a sense of humor and a good di- gestion. The understanding which reveals to us the absurdities and incongruities of life is not simply for amusement. It helps us to bear with a smile hardships, disap- pointments, and pain. It relieves the dull monotony of hard labor. To be born without a sense of humor is to suffer one of the greatest deprivations. The lack of this quality of the mind leads one to take himself and his work too seriously and to miss half the joy of living. A man without an appreciation of the humorous is likely to be a bore to his friends and to himself—almost as much of a bore as the would be humorist who is always pestering his friends with stale wit and whose forced jokes lack the effervescent spontaneity which appeals to a true sense of humor.—G. M. Wilcox. This is from the Pen of the World’s Greatest Smith Humor is an indefinable, intangible, property that varies with the individual and depends on the point of view. From the point of view of the Armour Junior or Senior, the most uproariously humorous event is to fill the elevator to its ca- pacity with fellow-students at the basement landing and watch the disgusted look on a “Prof.” as he stares upward at the elevator passing the first floor without even hesitating. Some students think a “Prof’s” idea of humor is to ask questions that the student cannot answer, and that it vanishes if the student reverses the process. Some of the humor dispensed by college comedians is very sad, but it is very profitable, they say. Canned humor is the privilege of the instructor of Freshmen. He can warm over his old chestnuts each year to amuse a fresh lot of victims. Antidote. More in sorrow than in anger, we confide these pages to your tender mercies.

And it was well. And the fame of Armour had penetrated far, even unto distant Podunk which is beyond Englewood, many, many leagues. And Archibald heeded the Voice of W isdom and hied himself to Armour in the great Village of Chi-Caw-Go, which holds down the shores of Mi-Chigan. Arch Arrives at Armour And he planked down his father’s hard earned Shekels; for Arch was not a scholar- ship Student; nay, nay, not Archibald. And Archibald epistled home for more Shekels, and the High Cost of Living troubled him not. And he became Arch the Frosh. Stribe Second—In which Wondrous Tales Reach the Ears of Arch the Frosh. Arch the Frosh was exceeding green, even as the green coats which the fair maidens of the Village of Chi-Caw-Go were wont to wear on the Boul Mich. And strange Talcs reached his ears; Talcs of Stormy W aters, and of Dread Scows, and of Deserted Lofts. And Arch the Frosh, being surpassing verdant, knew not that the tales were of Antiquity; of the Days of Caw-Fien and Cheese, and lo, his Stomach became as Lead while he pondered, and his Pedal Extremities approached Absolute Zero in temperature. But he remembered the edicts of his stern Parent and he recalled how his Ma- ternal Mentor insisted upon his going out for Fuel after reading Ghost Stories. And he drew a secret will disposing of his high school class-pin and his likewise Diploma, and sadly fared forth to the Freshman Smoker. Stride Third—Arch Goes to the Smoker. Lo! It was the night of the Smoker. Arch the Frosh, fortified by his prepara- tions for the worst, and accompanied by similarly verdant Frosh, hied himself to 230 HUMOR the scene of the festivities and proceeded to enjoy himself immensely by shouting himself hoarse when ever the mystic number “Umpteen” was heard, or the graceful cheerleader called for the new yells. And he smoked the pipe which had been wished on him, even the cute pipe with the “A” carved on it. And he became sick unto death so that he excused himself and sought privacy, hastily and with one hand on his mouth. But Arch “rose to the occasion” and “came up” smiling when he returned to his seat. For the program of the smoker was only part of the even- ing. And it came unto an end. And Arch got in line with a vast horde of his fellows. And like a triumphant army they marched southward to the greens- ward. Here Arch divested himself of superfluous clothing and girded himself for a fray which must surely follow when such deadly enemies as Frosh and Soph meet. And the battle was on, with Arch in the thick of it. And the blood of Arch coursed merrily through his veins under the stimulus of ungloved hands. And the tales that Arch had heard were forgotten for he was being given a fair chance. Mighty buffets were exchanged. And the tribe of Frosh prevailed over the hordes of the enemy, and they betook themselves to the heart of the village and made merry; yea, almost unto the break of day. Stride Fourth—Arch in the Tent of Raymotid the Dean. Now, Arch, being young and possessed of more energy than he cared to use on his studies, occasionally indulged in horseplay of the variety known as “high school stuff.” And it came to pass that he once dropped a handful of chalk, white gritty chalk, into the open mouth of Cur, surnamed the Wop, who was dozing for the nonce. And lo the shocked professor, who wot well the value of a stolen snooze, suggested a visit to the Tent of Raymond the Dean. Nothing loth, bold Arch strode forth, accompanied by an explanatory note, and lie came unto the Tent of 237 HUMOR Raymond the Dean. And Raymond the Dean smiled graciously upon Arch, which made bold Arch but bolder, and he spake unto Raymond the Dean, saying: “Lo, I have been sent by Gazookus, Professor of Flubdub, and this message sent he also.” And Raymond the Dean read the written words; and the smile lost its gracious- ncss and he let his gaze slowly travel from Archibald’s sleek pompadour to the toe of his unpolished boots, and then back to his eyes, which were rapidly losing their bold stare. Then Raymond the Dean spake, withcringly, and with consuming scorn, yet tenderly withal. And Arch wilted, even as doth an uprooted flower under the sun’s burning gaze. And he mumbled that he had not done it and that he would never do it again. And he went his way a sadder but wiser Frosh. “A Prophet is not Without Honor Save in”—Etc. As the humor editor’s brother, I write this little verse; I think he’s kind o’ rotten,— Me couldn’t be much worse! To one who hears it every day, His wit is hard and dry; And the funniest thing he ever said Brought forth a mournful sigh. 1 admire you Armour students But I do not like your taste; For the space that you’ve allotted him To me is just pure waste. So what you boys should do to him,— Unless there’s something up his sleeve,— Should far outshine in awfulness, The massacres at Kiev. His chances for fame are wobbly, Like a chicken on a roost; But I tell just what I think of him,— ’Cause every knock’s a boost. L. S. Mammes Says “Go as Fas as You Like, You Can't Insult Me!'9 He was standing beside Prof. Morcton at one of the basketball games in the gym. During the lull between halves, the Professor turned to him with his characteristic ingenuous smile and asked: “When you slouch down in your seat as you do in class, Mammes, arc you sleep- ing or just pretending to be asleep?” A fat man named Hohan McVinner Was inordinately fond of his dinner. When begged to reduce, He replied, “What’s the use?” “I’d have to stop eating to get thinner.” 23$ HUMO R SOME GOOD ONES FROM HERE AND THERE Squelched While attending a conference, a speaker began a tirade against universities and education, expressing thankfulness that he had never been corrupted by contact with a college. After proceeding for a few minutes, the chairman interrupted with the question: “Do I understand that Mr. X-------is thankful for his ignorance?” “Well, yes,” was the answer, “You can put it that way if you like,” “Well, all I have to say is that Mr. X----- has much to be thankful for.” This Is not an Extract from a Freshman Theme “You pour a lot of sand into a lot of boxes, and you throw old stovelids and things into a furnace, and then you empty the molten stream into a hole in the sand, and everybody yells and swears. Then you pour it out, and let it cool, and pound it, and then you put it in a thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together and paint it, and put steam in it, and it goes splendidly, and they take it to a draft- ing room and make a blueprint of it. “But one thing I forgot—they have to make a boiler.

So Dennis, instructed by Mike, placed himself astride one of the big guns and held a deck-pail over the muzzle. “Now,” said Dennis, “let her go!” Whereupon Mike touched her off and she went, sure enough—likewise Dennis and the pail. When the officer in charge came running up, he said: “Michael, what has become of your friend?” “Oh,” said Mike, “he just wint after a pail of water.” “I sec, but when is he coming back?” “Well,” answered Mike, “I’m sure I can’t tell exactly, but if he comes back as quick as he wint, he’ll be back yisterday.”:—Pathfinder. Alike After All A stunning specimen of the Princeton Tiger was fondly holding the hand of the pretty little Yassar lass, and at last he approached the leading subject courage- ously. “I have carefully studied the matter from the scientific point of view, and am thoroughly convinced that we are fitted for one another.” “Please explain yourself,” said she, looking up at him with her large bright eyes. “It is simply this,” he continued, “according to science, which is the only way to approach the subject. You see, you are light and I am dark. You are short and I am tall. You arc small and I am large and powerful. You are sprightly, vivacious; I am somewhat sober and phlegmatic. In short, we arc opposites, and opposites should marry.” “Yes,” she replied; “but there are exceptions to all rules, and I know of one in this case that is sufficient. I cannot marry you.” “In what respect is this exception made?” he demanded excitedly. “You see,” she smiled up at him again, “you are like me in this: I could never earn my own living.” —New York Tribune. 2V HUMOR On Commissary Duty at Summer Camp. Time i i 130 P. M. ilcox calling to get some eggs and being told by Mr. Woodzecki, the father of the “eggs,” that it was time the “eggs” were in bed. Note the “eggs” on the porch? 240 HUMOR Waiting for the “Ida May” It was a calm and peaceful evening in a tent called “Seldom Inn,” There were pies and cakes and cookies where there hadn’t oughta been. The boys were all atellin’ of the things they’d done that day, You could hear old Trinkaus singing in the “Morgue” ’cross the way. The “Ida May” had gone to Tomahawk to get the daily mail And Kiene went along to get a glass of ginger ale. Penn and A1 had gone afishin’ to get a mess o’ pike, An’ “Lindy” was spielin’ tales of which we’d never heard the like. There was one man at the table and his name was Siedenstrang, A better man than “Sicdcr” there wasn’t in the gang; He never hunted trouble but on this particular night, Someone’d sprung a joke on him and he was spoilin’ for a fight. His corns had been a’ achin’ from a’brekin’ in new shoes, His “Dolly” hadn’t writ him and his heart was filled with blues; He rose up from the camp chair and a cooky threw away As he bent his ear to listen for the chug of “Ida May.” Smithy got an inspiration, “Let’s play some pitch” he said, “Before the Ida May comes back and it’s time to go to bed.” “You’re on,” said many voices, and a smile lit Sicdcr’s face; The cards were brought, the chairs arranged and each man took his place. Then Kornfeldt did the dealing, he did it mighty slick; Zeman led the ace of hearts, that gave him the first trick. He led back the ten o’ hearts and Sieder took it with a queen; “A few like that,” said Sicdcr, “and the game I’ll surely clean.” But Sully, the lucky cuss, won at everything he tried, (A rattlesnake once bit him; they say the pore thing died!)

Complaint—Wilful and vandalistic damaging of pair of trousers while on the person of the plaintiff, value 3.00. Attorney for the defense . . R. Wilson. Attorney for the plaintiff A. N. Grossman, B. S. The case was opened by a clear statement of the complaint by Prosecuting At- torney Grossman. It seems that Mr. Wilson who has a reputation for being sloppy in his work, was holding in his right hand, on Friday afternoon, 4:22 P. M., a Khiel- dahl flask, which contained about four hundred cubic centimeters of concentrated sulphuric acid, specific gravity 1.846. The neck of this flask was slimy, and the flask slipped from his grasp, breaking, and spilling the contents upon the floor. The point at which the flask hit the floor was in the second aisle, 4.13264 meters from the slop jar, and on a line four degrees west of the northwest therefrom. This was clearly shown and proven by the physical expert, Prof. Doubt. The attorney de- clared that Mr. Wilson had tried to clean up the mess he had created by soaking the vitriol in a sponge and throwing the sponge into the slop jar. It was evident, however, continued Attorney Grossman, that Mr. Wilson, in throwing up the sponge, did not observe or notice that Mr. Laulctta was standing between the afore- said sponge and the aforementioned slop jar. “The result will be proven by wit- nesses,’’concluded Mr. Grossman, amid much clapping from the curious onlookers, who consisted of Mr. Chipman. Mr. Sieck was called to the witness stand, and sworn in by means of the Chemi- cal Bible (Bradley—Sloughton). 'Fhe witness is questioned by Mr. Wilson, as his own attorney. Q. Did you see the accident? A. Yes. Q. What kind of pants were they? A. Shoddy type. Q. What value would you put on them? A. Two bits retail. Q. What is the cause, in your opinion, of the holes. A. Sulphuric acid or billiard chalk. Q. Could you swear that the holes were caused by sulphuric acid? A. No. The witness was turned over to the attorney for the plaintiff. Q. Could you swear that the holes were not caused by sulphuric acid. A. No Q. You know that the defendant is a sloppy chemist? Mr. Wilson objected to the question, but was overruled. (See Wise. 1914, 26-64.) A. He is unquestionably sloppy. So is the plaintiff. Mr. Grossman hurriedly dismissed the witness. Mr. Chipman next took the stand and was examined by the defense. Q. You know the plaintiff as a thief and a fence? A. No, sir, I am neither a thief nor a fence. Q. You have seen him in evil places? A. I decline to commit myself by answering the question. Mr. Chipman was evidently an unwilling witness and was dismissed. The Prosecution called Mr. Diemecke. Q. Your name? A. Curt Diemecke. Q. Residence? A. North side. (“Disreputable,” observed the defense.) Q. When did you meet the plaintiff? A. Three years ago. Q. Did you sec the accident? A. Yes. Q. When did it happen? A. Monday, 4:22 P. M. Q. Did the plaintiff call your attention to the fact that his trousers were holy? A. No. 24a HUMOR Q. Have you since had any conversation with my client? A. No. The defense then cross-questioned the witness. Q. Do you come from the same great tribe of nomads as the plaintiff? A. No, I do not. Q. Was I the man who dubbed you Wop? A. I refuse to recognize the appellation. Q. Your honor, the man has a grudge against me. I demand that his testi- mony be thrown out. The defense recalled Mr. Sieck. Q. Did the defendant offer you a watch? A. Yes. Q. The watch was stolen some place? A. Probably. He never had money enough to buy one. The plaintiff interrupted, saying, “Although I am a thief and a vagabond, I demand justice and my pound of flesh, which was burned off of me.” The examination of Mr. Sieck continued. Q. Was the plaintiff facing the desk? A. Yes. Q. How long was his apron? A. To his knees. Q. He was negligent in your opinion? A. Yes. The defense now closed its case. He showed that Mr. Lauletta had a bad character among the student body, that the plaintiff was negligent in wearing so short an apron, that Mr. Lauletta had placed a value far in advance of the real value of the damaged goods, and that in any case there was much doubt as to the cause of the holes. Mr. Grossman outlined his case. The flask had unquestionably been dropped. There was the stain on the floor. He had been seen to wipe up the mess with a sponge. That he had not thrown the sponge into the slop jar was amply substan- tiated by another stain on the floor and numerous small stains in and around the slop jar and on and around the desk of the plaintiff. He rested his case, placing his client at the mercy of the court. The decision. The court found for the plaintiff, citing the case of Willie Snow vs. A. I. T. in Illinois, 1912 2-36726-432. Alas! Alack! poor Willie Snow, His face we’ll see no more: What Willie took for H2O, Was H2 SO4. The damages were fixed at 38 cents on the following basis: Charges of the court . . . 36 cents. Charges of the attorney . . . .02 cents. Both plaintiff and defendant were dissatisfied. The court said that the de- fendant got off easy and that the plaintiff should have been glad that he did not have to pay for damages to the defendant’s reputation.

At the edge of an impenetrable fog, my guide and I halted. “Now,” he said, “we have reached the borders of Topsyturvytown which you have expressed a de- sire to see. Do exactly as 1 do and you will find yourself right side up in Turvy- turvytown.” Bidding me observe closely, he stepped back a couple of paces and, with a quick little run, turned what would have been an airspring but for the fact that he dis- appeared in the fog when he got half way over. For a moment I hesitated, but remembering my duty to the “Cycle,” I gathered courage and followed suit. My muscles were tensed to meet the shock of landing but, strangely enough, I felt no jar and my muscles were quite relaxed when I found myself standing beside him with the wall of fog behind us, and a most remarkable city before us. As my eyes became accustomed to the artificial daylight, which 1 recognized as a product of the Illuminating Engineering students, I began to discern wonderful structures that somehow looked strangely familiar. Straight ahead, down an avenue which had been lined with trees by forestry students, loomed the 1373 foot tower of the cath- edral design with which Bischoff had won the architecture prize. Off to the right was a huge palace-like structure which I recognized as Porter’s Warehouse problem. It would have seemed out of place in a regular city, but here in Topsyturvytown, it looked quite in accord with its surroundings. Off to the left a large field contained numerous octopus-shaped flying machines. They had been built by the aviation class in direct defiance of the laws of gravitation; but they flew, and the reason they were so successful, as Hahn explained to me a little later, was that their bold defi- ance had simply bluffed Gravity off the map. In answer to the amazement that he read in my face, my guide started to ex- plain : “We arc now in Topsyturvytown. In contrast to the way things arc in the outcrworld, everything here worth while is done by college students. You will find that Armour is not as well represented here as other schools because you folks at Armour are generally too practical for such a place as this. However you will not be lonesome during your stay here. Would you be so kind as to follow me?” A tone of deference came into his voice as he spoke. I began to feel quite at home and as if I was “some punkins” myself in Topsyturvytown. Boldly I walked up the main street; college presidents and city officials went out of their way to sec a college student and to offer him high-salaried positions of public trust. I waved them contemptuously aside, for was I not in Topsyturvytown, where the whole world lay at the feet of a college student? Meeting the mayor of Chicago on the street, I peremptorily bade him show me to the highest authority in the city. He obeyed with alacrity, and led me to the President of the Freshman Class. Here indeed, was an exalted personage! He greeted me with dignity and inquired solicitously after my health. He then ordered a group of corporation heads and U. S. senators to prepare and serve refreshments, which they did with a speed that was remarkable in such corpulent persons. “How different things arc now run from what they used to be,” I remarked, thinking of the far off days of grinding and cramming. “Yes,” replied the Frosh President pompously, “the only studying here is done by professors and what we used to call men of affairs, like Crane, Wilson, and Bryan. We teach ’em to respect college students and then make first-class waiters and hod- carriers out of ’em. And the funniest thing I’ve seen here was a fat old bank president who had to carry his hod up the ladder with his back to the rungs because he had such a large “alderman” he could not reach the ladder when he faced it.” Here the President of the Freshmen burst into an uproarious laugh such as no college student outside of Topsyturvytown was ever permitted to enjoy. 247 HUMOR I visited Menke (he used to be the Editor-in-Chicf of the “Engineer”) who was copy-boy on a large engineering publication, the Editor-in-chief being the well known scientist and mathematician, Thomas Sullivan. The food was manufac- tured by students in the chemical laboratories and was guaranteed C. P. even if it didn’t taste very good. It was rather expensive, too, but a little thing like that made no difference when every student had an unlimited drawing account to pay for experimenting. 1 had just descended from an exotic flight through the clouds with Hahn and was standing at the wall of fog thinking of the dreary world without, when I felt myself lifted by the heels and turned upside down. As I started to struggle, I looked around and found myself standing on the side of the wall where my guide and I had first halted. “Your time was up and you cannot go back,” the guide said brusquely, and dis- appeared. Sadly I trudged back to the “Cycle” office and studies and exams and the old grinding and cramming. Judging from appearances, the wall seats at the “movies” are superseding the old time parlor sofa as a standby for the lovelorn. Some Cases of the Halt Leading the Blind.

You are likely to run across some well-meaning fellow-employes who will send you after such articles as a plumb-bob for a level, an ohm-sifter, cable-stretcher, left-handed monkey wrench or something similar. The system operates as follows: First you arc sent to the tool room boy on the sixth floor, for, say, a cable stretcher. The toolboy, who has seen boobs like you before, informs you that the chief engineer in the basement has borrowed it, but is probably through with it by now. Very dutifully, you proceed to the engine-room only to learn that the lad from the testing room on the eighth floor has taken it. Etcetera, etcetera. Now, when you are sent for one of these imaginary articles, don’t refuse to go or you will become a “wise guy.” Just trot along and make the first two jumps anyway.

A large and enthusiastic field turned out for the first annual mustachio-raising contest. Mammes took the lead by starting a month before the beginning of the term but he was not called back because the contest was of endurance rather than one against time. Hirsch, Zeldokas, and Roberts were appointed judges of the race on account of their proven ability as foliage producers. Before the start the judges gave the contestants some excellent pointers as to the best fertilizer to use for speed and density, as well as some cutting retorts to make to the jeers of the non-contestants. Among the entries starting from scratch were the following: Agazim, Gus Heritage, Sevin, Perlstcin, Cohen, Shorty Thai, Chubby Zook, LeVally, Rissman, Blouke, Lewis and Pearce. Agazim found himself still at the post after running a month, so he dropped out. Shakman also ran but wore off the results by too frequent contact with the rim of a glass and other things. In checking the men at the fifth week it was found that Cohen’s mus. had blown off in the big wind, and that Gus had succumbed to the jibes of the onlookers and had withdrawn his entry. At the eighth lap the archi- tects had broken onto the track and removed the entries of Lewis and Blouke by force. The chemicals say that they have the race cinched with the entry of Pearce who has by far the most luxuriant growth of any in the race. Fearful of an attempt to destroy the beautiful brush, they are guarding their entry night and day. The final results at the end of the semester give Pearce the laurels by an easy half inch. He has developed a most beautiful soup-strainer of a soft wrapping brown paper that is at once the pride and despair of the chemicals. There are some who say he has no sense of humor, but they arc only jealous. HUMOR nUJTACHL J (?) The Unhealthy Claim. Say! you feller! you With that spade and pick!

But listen; it was this way: They inveigled him into a peach of a hole in a lallapaloosa of a swamp to hold the bag while they drove the voracious but startled snipe into the trap. And to protect him from the fierce struggles of the desperate birds or reptiles, or amphib- ians, or whatever kind of monster a snipe is, they thoughtfully provided him with a stout club to lay low the unconquerable snipe. It is recorded that he returned to camp at 5 A. M. with an empty bag! And was bawled out in good shape when the other nimrods awoke. However he went out a second time, hoping for better luck, without getting wise! And not only that but,—he was ready to go a third time!!

It certainly is queer what a difference the point of view makes. No persons of average dimensions will deny that the sight of a rotund gentleman being precipi- tated to a position of stable equilibrium is a mirth-provoking spectacle; some go so far as to find it a source of side-splitting laughter; and others find tears of joy welling to their orbs under such circumstances. And yet it is quite possible that the afore- mentioned corpulent party may see a darkly serious side to such a trivial thing as a bursted pair of galluses, or a broken leg.

Net 50c The Westminster: “Dr. Gunsaulus belongs to that limited class whose name suggests interest. His rare gifts as a thinker and writer never fail to com- mand attention. In this book he is to be found at his best. There is a happy combi- nation of style and matter that lifts his ser- mons out of the ordinary and gives them a place in literature.” The Congregationalism “The initial element in strong preaching— the choice of great themes—lives in this vol- ume. This combination of poetical sensitive- ness and practical knowledge of men and their needs holds the reader’s attention.” Homiletic Review: “It is given to few men to command the use of the English language to such effect, and combined with this capacity of expression this preacher jxtssesses a deep spiritual phil- osophy, and lays hold upon a wide historical knowledge gathered from much reading.” Presbyterian: “The great strength of his imagination, his rare knowledge of literature, and his beauti- ful mode-; of expression command attention, and make delightful and profitable reading.” Louisville Christian Observer: “These messages of hope and good cheer expressed so beautifully by this gifted man, will now be carried to larger audiences in this attractively bound volume.” THE HIGHEST MINISTRIES OF RECENT ENGLISH POETRY 12mo, cloth, net SI.25 The fascinating volume shows how our great poets have affected the thinking of the times........ But this gives no hint of the book’s abundant suggestiveness, its rare and searching insights, its characteristic style and its rare helpfulness.” —Chicago Record Herald “The book has a charm that is not easily described. It is an interpretation, and a clear and good interpretation, too. The au- thor has ‘thought his way through’ before he began to write, and the chapters retain much of the charm that was theirs when they were lectures. His linking of the different poets’ interpretations of life and nature is one of the best, as it is one of the most pronounced feat- ures of the lxx k.” —The Examiner THE TRANSFIGURATION OF CHRIST International Leaders’ Library.

I do not dance but I was going to take a friend to the hall so I offered my services in the checkroom. The night was hot, but a large crowd attended, and the girls were very profuse in their thanks for what they were pleased to call my kind- ness and self-sacrifice. In fact, they were so nice about it that I felt amply repaid for what I had done. When I again called at the house, the father, who had also been at the dance, called me to him and delivered himself of the following: “Fred,” he began, and his voice and eyes were filled with gratitude: “Fred, you have performed a service for my daughter and her friends that we shall not soon forget. When a city or a nation wishes to reward a great man for services which mere money cannot repay, it gives him a medal which intrinsically may be worth but a few dollars, but in sentimental value, the medal is recognized by the man and his friends to be priceless. “Now, Fred, I am sure your folks will realize the true value of what I am going to give you; that they will not laugh at it. Therefore, Fred,” (here he fingered the jewelry on his hand) “I am going to give you three rings. I am giving you three rings so that we will not have to guess who it is when you ring the bell. Hereafter, when you call, ring the bell three times and we will know it is you. Now run along and talk to the girls.” Literature and Business.

My kid brother and I sleep together; that is we share a bed at home. Usually, when I get to bed along about I :V.X. after a long evening of study (?) he has been asleep for several hours. Now, that kid has absolutely the most original ideas about disposing himself in a bed, that were ever conceived. In the first place, he must, that’s all there is to it, he simply must have a pillow on top of his head or he cannot get to sleep. The fact that, in the morning, the pillow will be anywhere from underneath the bed to up on the chandelier, anywhere except where it belongs, has no bearing on the fact that he must have that pillow on top of his head to get to sleep. Having reached the kingdom of Morpheus, he disclaims all further responsibility for his actions. It is well he docs for “assault and battery” is the least of the crimes he commits. Grand larceny, as you know, is the purloining of articles valued over a certain sum. Well, Dean Monin, our eminent authority on economics, will tell you that the value of a half interest in a warm comforter on a cold winter night is well above the petty larceny limit. Need I say more? Or can you picture the physical suffering I pass through during a hard winter? And that’s not all. Not by a jugful. Bear with me but a moment more. Everyone, no, everyone but this Incarnation of Infinite Ability to Annoy, realizes that the normal position of the body in sleeping is parallel to the major axis of the bed. The only time that this I. of I. A. to A. can be found in this position is for an instant while changing from one diagonal position to another. I could go on indefi- nitely, recounting the eccentricies of this slumbrous fiend incarnate; tell you how he waves his arms in dream speeches or playfully pokes his feet into the small of my back, but I must desist for lack of space. At Twenty-One. This world is not so bad. It seems That work and nerve make real our dreams; That pleasure far outweighs dull sorrow; That muscles are fit for the work of tomorrow, And troubles avoid those that no trouble borrow. I’ve just turned twenty-one. Life is a joyous thing. Its ways Are smooth and ’lumined by warm rays; While hearts in tune sing thrilling song; And right e’er triumphs over wrong, For Love speeds my willing feet along, And I’ve just turned twenty-one. Justifiable Homicide. Mammes—When will I see you again Shaffer? Shaffer (very wittily?)—About two o’clock next week. Mammes (indignantly)—I asked you a civil question. Shaffer—I’m an electrical; I don’t have to answer Civil questions. (Curtain, soft music.) Smith—What became of that fellow Lightfingcr, who was so popular with the girls on account of his taking ways. Brown—Haven’t you heard? His taking ways finally got him into trouble. Smith—No. How was that? Girl complications? Brown—Nothing like that. So many embarassing situations arose out of his inability to differentiate between his own and other people’s property, that the deans requested him to complete his education elsewhere. 286 Dearborn Chemical Company Manufacturers of Boiler Feed Water Treatment Scientifically prepared to suit water conditions shown in analysis.

The fellows who do their drawing near him say that Borroughs is well named; they pronounce it b-o-r-r-o-w-s. Oh, he’d hurl the dictionary prcmiscus thru the air, And he’d jab statistics inter ye frcm almost everywhere, And ol Erastus Beebe Said he et a cyclopcdy Ev’ry mornin’ ’ith his breakfast; an’ I b’lieve he did, I swear. An’ in knowledge 0’ the scripture he could lay the parson flat ’Bout Melchizidek an’ Moses, Jonah an’ Jchosaphat. An’ you couldn’t find his ekil In Leviticus or ’Zckil; He kep’ all the law an’ prophets packed away beneath his hat. He’d kote Congressional reports jest like his A, B, C; An’ of all the laws an’ statoots he possesses a full idee; An’ he’d argify on science ’ith all the intellectual giants, An’ he’d run them from their burrows, an’ he’d chase ’em up a tree. 2SS ROGERS PRINTING COMPANY DIXON, ILLINOIS The reputation of this house for good printing has been established through accuracy, and attention to little details COLLEGE PRINTING OUR SPECIALTY HUMOR An’ down to Pclcg Perkins store he ustcr sit an’ talk. One day when he wuz spoutin’, in there comes an orkerd gawk, An’ he kinder sneaked and sidled Like a horse that isn’t bridled, An’ Jim pitched into him an’ tried to make him toe the chalk. An’ the gawk he looked so silly that we kinder pities him, An’ Pcleg Perkins whispered, “Kinder stroke him easy, Jim.” Then the gawk he squirmed and wriggled ’Till the gal clerk up an’ giggled, Then he waded in an’ argered like a blessed seraphim! He pelted Jim ’ith school-books till I tell ye it was rich! An’ he’d whclt him with the Bible as he’d beat him ’ith a switch. An’ the histery o’ Chiny Timbuctoo an’ North Coroliny Theology an’ jollogy, geogerphy an’ sich. He’d kote the President’s message an’ his inaugural speech, An’ no crumbs in wisdom’s pantry seemed to be beyond his reach. All history he would gabble on From Boston back to Babylon, When he shook the tree of knowledge every shake would drop a peach. An’ Jim he sort o’ wilted an’ then hung down his head, An’ he slowly shuffled from the store, but not a word he said— An’ we all knew ol’ Jim Shattucks Had met his Appomattox; Next day his childer found him in the upper cornfield—dead.
