It contains an intimate account of our classmates and thus furnishes us with an unbreakable bond of mutual' sympathy. The Record is invaluable as a memento of the years spent at Drexel, for when time has widely separated each of us from the other, we can turn to it and by leaiing over the pages re-live together, as it were, the happy days spent while learning the essentials of our professions. We cannot laud too highly the IQII class of engineers in instituting this yearly publication. It is for the succeeding classes to see that its publication is never neglected, and to improve upon it wherever possible. 1 We Wish to extend' our most sincere thanks to the faculty, students, and alumni for their hearty support, and to all others who by their interest have helped to make the Record a success Although at times we have written in at bantering style as Well as in a more serious vein we feel sure thatfwe will be under- stood in the good-natured way we intend to be.

The first few days passed peacefully. Then we organized, for we anticipated a hot time with the juniors, and we were not mistaken. McCaslcey showed that he. was capable of good work in the Fighting line, the result being that 'we made him. our leader in the bowl' fight. 4 As ofhcers' we elected: President, Roopg' Vice President, Gamberg Treasurer, Bock, Secretary, McCaskey. The Juniors now got on our trail and made us do a few stunts, such as rolling pennies with our noses. r 16 CLASS HISTORY CContinuedJ The next event of importance was the bowl fight. It was a hot day when we marched out on the field of battle. Some had overalls, some football togsg in fact, you could see almost any kind of dress. The wooden bowl was placed in the centre of the field and we all made a rush for it. After some line bucking and football stunts, the juniors won the event, due to their greater experience and superior numbers. XV e gave them a mighty hard tussle, however. Wfe then held a smoker at which very little smoking was done. The juniors got wind of it some- how or other and as we were puffing on our pipes of peace they broke in on us. Then ensued a grand mix-up, which reminded one of the good old fighting days. Somebody put chemicals in the punch to flavor it a little. In order to make the sandwiches a little more palatable a little red pepper was added to the nlling. 1 Mid years soon rolled around and with them a weeding out process for which Drexel is noted. Many a chap left good old Drexel for other regions. The fittest survived and plunged into the second term. Spring with its enticing days again overtook us and found us in the machine shop, chipping and filing two little blocks. Wle can never forget that pleasure. How we did love to push the -tile as the birds twittered and sang outside. june came and with it another set of exams. After a summerls relaxation from Physics Lab. we returned for the Junior year. Wfilliams was elected presidentg Thorn, vice presidentg Wlinter, secretary and treasurerg Johnson to the Advisory Board, and Robbins the historian. Most of the officers hailed from jersey. Another bowl fight came along. The Freshmen had a vast multitude of swarthy giants, and their overwhelming numbers were too much for us in this fight. Wfe did, however, at other times put them through some of the stunts to which we had been subjected the previous year. The junior year presented delightful Physics experiments, of which we all have fond recollec- tions. A few more of us were weeded out until we numbered about twenty. ' 1 7 Q CLASS HISTORY CContinuecU ln September, IQII, we returned and took possession of the Senior rooms. At once we got down to business and elected Van de Mark, presidentg Johnson.vice presidentg XN'inter,secretary and treas- urer, and Robbins, class historian. From the beginning of this year a feeling of interest in each other and in the affairs of the class was exhibited by everyone. Although the class was necessarily divided into the three sections, and this in itself Would naturally cause clannishness, still all could count on be- ing together .once each day, and that at noon in the locker-room. just a few words in passing about this locker room. This was the one place. This was the place where we could talk over our joys and sorrows and take a little rest from classrooms. lt was here also that we made good use of our vocal chords, rendering everything from highest opera to the most frayed ragtime. Suffice it to say that thoughts of this room strike a respondent chord in the breast of every man who has seen and knows its secrets. During the year We met frequently, in spirited class meetings. If the fellows lacked life before they have certainly gained some by this time. Some of the questions brought up were so ably de- fended and bitterly contested that several ballots would have to be taken before a tie could be broken. These disputes only served to add zest to the meetings and no hard feelings were caused. Summing it all up we have taken quite an active part in all school activities during our three years at Drexel. 'We leave Drexel with a place in our hearts for all its teachers, organizations and class- l'OC7l'l'1S. ' ' 18' SENIOR CLASS T9 l ELECTRICAL I-SCI'llOI' Debating Society.

His drawings andnotes are never o'erclouded with soft pencil smudges, and his traeings are always nicely rolled and slipped into a pasteboard tube. .s A more obliging man you would never meet Knot once has he complained that his pencil sharp- ener was being overworkedj. This trait has probably won for him the warm regard of the one and only girl of whom we have heard. , The theatre and literary pursuits take up most of Does spare time. His taste in the latter ranges from The Condition of Roman Society at the time of Marcus Aureliusuto Barrack Room Ballads. Doc is a stickler for things proper. No doubt he would have appeared at the Collegeville Fire- man's Ball last summer in evening clothes and a plug hat with the wall-paper hangers fair daughter had not restraining inlluences been brought to bear. ' XVhenever you want to know how they do things on the railroad or in the steel industry ask Doc. He or one of his family will surely know. So, here's to Doc.

Besides being a good worker, he is a jolly good fellow and possesses a host of friends. He is also very active in school organizations, and has done much to help them along.

The youth is possessed of a lingering disease, which has lengthened his stay at Drexel by a year. Yet there are few better students, and how such a sensible, clear thinking fellow could ever be tolerated as an assistant in the physics lab. is beyond us. He is a poetic subject, and on the day when some one bluncleredl' in the niech. lab. it was his part, not to reason why . . . but to do or die, and so when the Prony refused to be bridled, he nobly suffered.

Nothing gives him more pleasure than to sit enraptured by some grand opera or the strains of an orchestra and later reproduce it in full for thc benefit of the gang in the locker room. He also has quite some literary ability, and has ,held the position of librarian in the Phoenixville Public Library. Apprehended as accomplice to the murder of Sweet Adeline during our Freshman year, he has been in Hagonyu ever since.

This worries Seyffert greatly. Lewis' love for leisure so far got the better of him that he conceived a plan to get an hour off in mechanical laboratory by taking a course in electric bells for two years, thus getting in a good hour's sleep every week. ' A From the tunes that Lewis whistles, and the Park knowledge he expounds, we deduce that he is one of those night-blooming plants that haunt the Park limits in twos all summer long.

It was reported that the Beanery was going to fail because of lack of trade. until our little Jerseyite came along to Drexel. His appetite for pie led him into the Beanery, which is now doing :1 profitable business. Little do they realize how much they owe to Moody. He is an exponent of the theory of least work, and has forced his way through Drexel with a minimum amount of labor.

As far as we know Robbins has only one fault: he, like all great thinkers, is absent-minded, XV hen in the laboratories he has fewer accidents than anyone else.

The reason for this feeling may be that he has not had time to leave the farm and get a new aspect of life. NYe may be wrong in this, however, for how often have we heard of' those regal trips on the Pullman to Dixonville. Wfe are told his brother lives there, but there are others. According to all reports he surely can manage a farm and has there learned how to do everything from running a gas engine to building a barn. Rothe has an assortment of songs and ditti es which HE seems to enjoy very much. . At times, though, he can assume an air of great knowledge and importance that would command the respect of the wisest. This comes from spending four years at Drexel. While at Collegeville the Civils were most grateful to him for his lucid explanations of the work- ings of a solar attachment, notwithstanding the fact that it did not work. Rothe has a weakness for sour balls and loves to throw erasers and sundry other articles at people within and without the Senior drawing room. ' 34 XNTLLTAM C.

The rather promising mustache was absentg but he joined the Bean Drinkers' Club, and so, we imagine, he thought that soup-sifters would be a distinct advantage. . This is but one of the many clubs and lodges in which Winer Steer figures prominently. How he manages to lead poor, unsuspecting creatures across the hot sands, attend banquets, etc., etc., and still attend to school and domestic affairs is more than we can fathom. He is the other married man in our class. Mrs. Steer must be a most devoted and obliging wife. for , j'iner hands in typewritten reports and is a Notary Public. Steer can talk the fastest and keep the neatest held book. - VVe value him highly as one who can foretell our difficulties. He also serves as a sort of safety valve on the over-exuberant spirits of the Senior Civils. V 37' I-IURACE E. TI-IORN. .. . . .Trenton, N.

In keeping with these char- acteristics is his impractical mind. If you were to have a chat with him the thing impressing you lirst will be his artistic sense and taste. V In engineering Work he is a poor guesserg his mind cannot grasp the object of designing a thing throughout and then choosing something else by guess. He frankly admits that he has missed his profession. Surely we have all found out by this time that he was intended for an architect, interior decorator and landscape gardener. u In the drawing-roon'. of an afternoon his artistic nature hncls an outlet in snatches of the best operas execrably sung. 38 1 C.

Gentle reader, view here what remains of 16 men who set sail in September, 1909, to discover what they could in the world of civil engineering. VVe were an ambitious, though somewhat green crowd, and expected to accomplish wonders. Physics and chipping and filing put a crimp in our exuberance, and after we had been maltreated by the Juniors and subdued by the bowl fight, quietly settled to the steady grind of Freshmen. The first class election brought some of our stars to light in the forms of Roop, Williams and Gamber, who were chosen to hold down jobs as class officers. Though 37 hours per week was a rather stiff schedule, we were always glad when Friday after- noons rolled around, for then we took our weekly surveying trip to Fairmount Park. After awkwardly measuring Smith Memorial and doing sundry other chaining jobs, we rose to the dignity of transits and were quick to find that here was an instrument invaluable as a means of viewing the fair occu- pants of the park benches, much to the concern of our friend Mr. Broomall. An interrupted class smoker served to break the dull monotony of the grind during' the first term, and before long the mid-year exams were upon us. After a struggle most of us emerged victor- ious, ' The next term was -rather uneventful, except for the trip to Media during the Easter holidays. There, under Mr. Broomall's guidance, we learned a great deal about practical surveying. Most of the time we were engaged in surveying a farm to be used in a building development, but we were also given some idea of municipal work. The few remaining weeks of school were spent cramming for final exams, which we passed more or less successfully and then parted for the summer, many to take positions in real engineering work until school opened in the fall. n 45 CIVILS Cconlinuedj Although we knew that some of our members had found the pace too stiff and had fallen by the wayside, we were not prepared for the shock of finding but three of the original 16 charter meni- bers back to renew their work at Drexel. Williaiiis, Burtis and Thorn were the three. They were rein- forced by Hamilton and Campbell, from the Mechanic Arts Course, and by Rotlie, bequeathed by the 1911 Class of Engineers. Steer, the married man of experience, also joined us at this point and we set out to conquer new worlds. C The job that interested us most during this year was the laying out of a rather worm-shaped trolley road that nieandered o'er hill and dale in Fairmount Park. Wfillianis, Burtis and Thorn, the only originals, formed one party, and Campbell, Rothe and Steer another. Hamilton, who had made quite a hit with us, had early left to accept a position with the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. Vlfe all struggled through physics, calculus and geology, and safely, but somewhat battle-scarred passed the final exams in june. Another surveying trip was next in order, this time to Collegeville, Pa. VVe all lodged in one big room in the main Ursinus College dormitory and for a neighbor had a nice, little, squeaky-voiced inathematics professor. Each of us were particularly in evidence in one line or another. ldfilliams could lay out a myriad- tracked freight yard on a baseball diamond. Burtis could throw soft lemon pie with great accuracy and broke footboards with impunity. Rothe was strong at handling a solar attachment and a poker deck. Campbell shone with the fair sex and loved to swim and walk in the rain. Steer showed skll at catching early trolley cars and always had a good dinner at the hotel. Thorn was crazy for a game of tennis and was particularly pleased with the wood in his corn! flakes and the bug in his prunes. The weather kept us from doing as much work as we might have, but we went home after having' a bully good time. 46 CIVILS qcomanuedy i After a summers ex erience in the various lines we six returned last Se Jtember and immediatel Y got down to business. We were early called upon to impart some knowledge of surveying to the Fresh- men, which we did with alacrity and pleasure. - Durinv the ast ear we have been coniined larffel to the drawino'-board and the laborator . 2: Y 6 5 Y Wfe have des1gned most everything in our line and are expert at cement sling1ng and testing, as well as at squirting a jet of Water in the proper direction. Occasionall f we have surre titiousl indulved in the movies or a show-all the wa u -or a 5 Y s Y P good, long constitutional, but in each case we deemed it highly necessary to so relax from our arduous daily tasks, 47 MECHA N I CALS 48 Mechanicals. Wfhat? The Mechanicals? Wfell, they make themselves seen and heard. W'hether in the draw- ing-room, locker-room or laboratories, they are generally making things lively with their j ests and songs. At the beginning of the year we found we had a very small class, but we went manfully to work on Mechanics, Steam and Hydraulics. The latter subject gave us many, wet feet in the laboratory, where we had water forming jets, streams and small Niagaras. Wfhen the new oil engine came we had to turn in and help our classmates, the Civils Qwe call them very uncivil, sometimesj put in the concrete foundation. Some of us were outside bringing in crushed stone, sand, etc., while others were inside mixing the concrete. During a lull in our work we Qthe outside menj started to do acrobatic stunts on the Ludlow street iron gate. Here we were found ten or fifteen minutes later by our host, Mr. Smith, who invited us to come back to the more enjoya- ble C ?j crushed stone and cement stunts. If you should happen to come into the laboratory some Tuesday or Thursday afternoon you would see three fellows working together. You would notice that among them only one fellow had overalls on, and that even he had no jumper. lt would be impossible for anyone to tell you offhand which one this would be, because the three own only the one pair and they take turns wearing itf. These men are Lewis, Seyffert and jones. . If you should hear expressions such as 'fsquare heady' or Hknock off the corners flying around, you could right safely guess that Burrows and Wfinter were working somewhere near. Your nrst im- pression would be that they were quarreling, and possibly they are, but they both have very forgiv- ing dispositions, and thus they remain the best of friends. You now continue your inspection of the laboratory, and back in some corner, possibly, you find two men working very absorbedly on gas analysis, force of explosion of gaseous mixtures. etc. These men, Johnston and Thumlert, are authorities in this line. 'I 49 MECHANICALS CContinuedD Now last, but not least, in bulk at any rate, and importance, too tif his own opinion counts for anythingj, comes Van de Mark, the loquacious president of the class. Wfhen it comes to selling foun- tain pens Vandy can tell you in three different languages at once that you are missing the opportunity of a lifetime if you do not buy one. NVe have great hopes for Vancly's future. They say a prophet is never respected in his own country. Perhaps some clay some country, such as-well, say Mexico, will recognize Yanclyfs- Worth and then he will come into his Own. SO ELECT R ICALS 5 L Electricals. Wfe are the men who handle the juice, Nothing dead about us, either, for we're all live wires. Sometimes we do very shocking things, but if we only kilovolt there's no harm done. At any rate we profess to know more about electricity than any section in the school. Wfe profess, but how much we really know is another question. These words constantly ring in our ears: V A re there any questions ? Not being stupid we only ask sensible questions. Moody and Roberts are the Haddonfield Twins. Moody does the work and Roberts, as is the case with the man higher up, looks wise and superintends the job. Moody is everywhere at once and is a spry .little runt. Roberts would rather play cards than take data. Farley and Johnson are the inseparable Siamese Twins. Johnson always wears his glasses in the Lab. because glass is an insulator. johnson is a good man to put transformers on the rack. Farley connects up the lines and Johnson pulls in the star hsh Cstar connectedj. Cooper and Scott delight in repairing reheostats. In fact, one of the rheostats actually worked worse after it was subjected to indignities at their hands than it ever did before. It cut out resistance when it should have cut it in. Cooper and Scott donit understand it, and never will. Cushing and Robbins are the workers of the bunch. Doon loves to find Haws in Scott trans- formers. Robbins likes to get done early, so he can catch the 3.50 train for Trenton. Gnce in a while he gets it, too. Prof. Beaver is our one best bet. He has taught us a whole lot, and we hope to be in a position some day to teach him some A. C. VVe dearly love him, however, and wonder if he can say the same for us. 52 ELECTRICALS CContinuedD Prof. Creagmile is another best bet. VVe owe a great deal to hini, for he has certainly shown us 21 few tricks in the electrical business. As a whole we are a cheerful, hardworking bunch and have only one regret. Wfe are never able to say, like the M.E.'s and C.E.'s, for example: Nothing to do until tomorrow. VVe must study our Hawkins and Wfallisf' A .

M df A- -mv 1 ' EAST HALL I 54 l W f-5 1 I was sitting on the grand terrace fronting the Piesid t' l t ' - en ia palace of Mexico, situated at Cl z l- tepec. To the east st' t l l ' C itpu ie C iec the great capital, and beyond, the famous Lake of Texcoco. The dark shadow east by the hill now l d reacie to the city limits, and thr ffl l ' dusk I saw tl l' l t - ' ' ' oubi tie gathering ie igat of the Piesidential carriage approaching along the fashionable Paseo de la Reforma. VVith considerable Glitter and Ol l 5 guise tie mounted guard rode up, drew up in line and saluted: then in a cloud of dust the caii' ff . Hiabe rolled up to the palace gate. The President, who first emerged, was a large, broad-shouldered,. heavy-set man, with huge inoustachios fully four inches long. I-le was dressed in a plain white suit, trimmed with a heavy gold braid, and Wore a broad-hrimmed panama. Yet in spite of this gaudy and impressive adornmeut, he still possessed the oldswing of E. S. Van de Mark, as We were WO11t to s ' ee him in the days of XVood- 55 PROPH ECY CCoritinuedD land avenue and the 'fP,eanery. There were two other men in the President's suite, to whom a reintroduction is necessary. The hrst is a youth of slight build, with violent hair and fearless expres- sion. This is the I-lon, Signor General Torche Applegate. To his physical refinement and courage, as well as to the strength of his one and original pipe, Vandy owes his position, Applegate being- the one and only successful revolutionary general Mexico has ever seen. The second of the party possessed the hearing of an aristocratic gentleman, and even the casual observer felt that here was a person of artistic' temperament. This personage was none other than the Hon. Horace E. Thorn, official poet and newly elected president of the Mexican Opera Company. At the departure of the guard we drew a long sigh of relief, for they took with them some of the for- mality of the occasion and left us free to speak to each other in the old familiar way. . lNell, jones, I made it a go, cried Van de Mark. I got him in the air tanks in six different places. They've fired him bodily, with a 48-hour time limit to leave the country. A It is here necessary to quote from the Mexican Herald of the day: President Van de Mark yesterday introduced a bill to expel Prof. I. L, Beaver, of the Mexican Institute of Technology, for the illegitimate sale of a book called 'Alternating Currentsf The President stated that the book was undoubtedly revolutionary in principle, saying that it spoke of a machine that would make an infinite number of revolutions per minute. On these very good grounds the menace to public peace of mind is given 48 hours to leave the country. lNe call attention to the disgraceful conduct of one Ernest johnson, also an instructor in the lnstitute, who from the galleries hurled improper remarks at the President while speaking, one rellialk sounding like '10 in A. Cf lt is rumored that Johnson knew the President in the States, and that he has become jealous of the position that the President still holds above him. 56 PROPHECY CCominuedD ' Before I could extend my congratulations to the President, Thorn uttered the soothing words, How like the fragrant odor of the jasmine are my thoughts tonightf' Bullets V' said Applegate. Hey, jones, got any Durham ? Sirrah,'l exclaims the amazed Thorn, Mavaunt with your vulgarity-Ah, the Queen-and little Eva dies tonight. CPoor fellow, he still insists on quoting from his favorite playsj Never can I for- get his disgust at the names suggested for his new opera house. Torche suggested Trocadero,' Bur- roughs wrote from Egypt to suggest XWilliam Penn, and Burtis wanted it to be called the Gayety. After much deliberation Thorn finally adopted the name Paint and Powder. Suddenly an uproar arose, and Burtis, hat in hand, rushed up the avenue crying, Hey, Thorn, where in the devil are my keys? I can't get in my dressing-room at the operaf, f'INell, I haven't got 'em, retorted Thorn. i'You're a liar! shouts the enraged Burtis. Aw, go get a duplicate from Fletcher, the janitor. ' It is now necessary to explain that Burtis fills the leading tenor roles in 'Ilhorn's productions. It had always been a puzzle to me when Burtis discovered that he had a voice. I-Ie always said he had received his training in onelof the largest places in Philadelphia. I have since found that he worked in the finishing rooms of the Standard Roller Bearing Company-he has been a most diligent stu- dent. At the time he was singing the part of Eyestrained in INagner's great opera, 'cEyestrained and Trisoldef' and at present I have this announcement. To-Night at 8.15. Mr. Paulo Burtis as Lewis in Signor Gorgo S. Cooper's new opera, The Bells. Libretto by Professor Cragmile. Teatro Nationale. A Sig. Cooper will conduct. 57 PROPHECY Ccontinuecll A Yes, it is true, Cooper leads an orchestra, is a composer of note and is one of Thorn's most trust- worthy assistants. He has one failing: while conducting he grows so excited that he often faints. One night while conducting The Bells, just at that pathetic moment when the unfortunate Lewis is driven to despair over 'lMust I take the Bells again, what shall I do FU Cooper from the leader's box cried, 'fGet the smelling salts, and crumpled up into a heap. On such annoccasion Sig. Henri Thumlert takes Cooper's place. Thumlert would make a good leader if he balanced his orchestra better, but he favors the brass and drums too much. Yet for a jolly rounder no one can equal Thumlert, and his famous l'Hello, men, and Let's have a little game, or some harmony, still remind one of the good old locker days. Our conversation was again interrupted by a mild spoken gentleman who arrived to report news of interest to the President. This man, the Commissionaire d'Affairs, is Joseph Winter. You will at once infer that this long-titled position is not a hard-working jobg in fact, Ioe's work is just like one long drawing period, with nothing to do until the next time. joe is a greater ladies' man than ever, and yet even now when he is carried around on the hands of the ladies I have heard him sigh deeply. Often when I have seen him gazing to the northeast, toward far, far distant Ardmore, I think he is a prey to a memory of certain morning train rides long since past. I After having disposed of NVinter's business, which referred to the color of the teacups to be used at that nights luncheon on the lawn, Van de Mark asked if I had read any news from Camp- bell. I answered that I had a letter from him. Then he asked if there was a letter from Brooklyn, and it went to my heart to hear the deep sigh thatfollowed my negative answer. Speaking of Campbell, I fill with pride to think how much credit he reflects on me, who fos- tered and cared for him, and told him much of value during our school associations. In fact, Doc' is the only creditable engineer that the class put out, not excepting Burrows or Seyffert. : 58 PROPHECY CContinueclD - Campbell went to work with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Straightaway he began to apply the magnihcent logic I had taught him to railroad affairs. In the first summer he forever destroyed the danger of rear-end collisions by abolishing the rear end of trains-that is, by removing the last car. Later on, seeing that a wreck occurred on account of a train running past a signal, he did away with signals, logically reasoning that if there had been no signal to pass there could have been no wreck. Van de Mark and Applegate gathered near to hear me read Docs letter, while Thorn began to compose a sonnet beginning thus: Such is the gentle raven, VVho twists his wings while shavin', etcf' Vlfhen we had quieted Thorn, I read: Mr, B. G. jones, Prime Minister of Mexico, Mexico City. My Dear Jones: I saw an article in the Philadelphia North American the other day which mentioned that an American engineer, E. S. Van de Mark, had been elected President of Mexico on the reform ticket. INhen it also said that you were Secretary of State, Prime Minister, etc., I had no difficulty in recognizing in the President our old classmate Vandy. Let me know as to the truth of this rumor, so that I can pass it on to the rest of the fellows, most of whom I am in touch with. I was in old Philly the other day, so I dropped in the school. I saw Professor Rowland and he wants Vandy to send him the three reinstatement slips which he still owes. Has Vandy become any heavier? I should think a cinch job like that would give him a chance to pick up. One of our fellows is down near you, although not quite in Mexico. Frank Rothe is. manag- ing a big farm and cattle ranch in Texas. He has introduced scientific management and in a short time 59 PROPHECY CConlinuecD will be part owner. He is as big a rube as he ever was, when running that little farm in Pennsylva- nia, only we are afraid to call him one now, as he is never without his gun. He has cleaned up that part of Texas, and with the aid of his revolver and nerce blonde moustache has made quite a name for himself as a gun-fighter. Roberts and Moody have set up together as consulting electrical engineers. I was in Trenton some time ago and paid them a visit in their office. Ed. told me that a good, technical education such as our class had been through would put any man on top. He said that they were getting along finely, and it seemed so, for even while I was in the office Moody had to go out to repair someone's door-bell. Ed. sits in the office and smokes while Moody does the work. Don't laugh when I tell you that Moody is married, while Ed. Roberts is still single and not even engaged. Roberts says that he smokes so much that he can't aiord to get married. I asked them why they did not leave Trenton for a more up-to-date and progressive place, but they said that neither of them could bear the thought of parting from jersey. They told me of another of our boys who is afflicted with the same incurable disease. It is Vlfilliamsg he is still living in Camden. I saw him some time later. He has now risen to be chief engineer of the ferryboat Annie M., cruising between Camden and Philadelphia. He seems to be perfectly contented with his job. You know, he always was a roamer, and he says that the life he is now leading. with its constantly chang- ing scenery, is just what suits him. He told me that he would rather be chief engineer of a ferryboat than of a transcontinental railroad. This prejudice is plainly due to habit, and we cannot wonder at it. Bill Seyffert called at my office yesterday and took me to New York in his car. He seemed to be very prosperous and my curiosity got the better of me. He told me, in answer, that he had found that there was no money in engineering. Bill said he was after the cash, so he took up professional V 60 PROPHECY CConlinuedD . baseball. He was pitcher on several pennant winners and last year he was one of the VVorld Champs. After that he retired and bought a country place on Long Island. We went out there overthe week- end and from all appearance Bill has surely fallen on his feet. I-Ie do11't do a blamed thing that he doesnjt want to do, He wanted to know where his partner Lewis is, but I couldn't tell him. Prepare yourself for a surprise. Last sum mer when 'in Atlantic City I met Bill Farley coming down the Boardwalk in a chair. I got in with him and when he offered me a cigar I looked at him in surprise. As you can see, he must have changed very much from the Farley we all knew. He has charge of some power installation work which will keep him there all summer. It seems as though some fellows have cinches thrust upon them. He told me that he had been married directly after graduating, but had left his wife at home when he came to Atlantic City. His education has been completed since leaving Drexel-you should hear him 'cuss at the mosquitoes. Don't tell johnson, if you happen to see him, of this change in Bill, I am sure it would grieve him very much. Lansdale knows Steer no more. I went through that burg last month and I found that the old reliable insurance business is in the hands of another. Steer went VVest after successfully passing a Government Civil Service exam. He soon became an instrument man and is now engineer in charge of a large Government reclamation project in Nevada. He sent me a picture of himself taken with his wife. He looks like a bushwacker. Not only a mustache, but a full black beard now covers his entire face. He says it is too much trouble to shave, but he certainly looks fiercej just before he went West he bought S50 worth of 'fBetween the Acts little cigars, as he was afraid to risk being left without his favorite brand. V Doc Cushing is still studying. You would think that the course at Drexel would satisfy any one. But not Doo He has graduated from the ranks of the students and is now a scholar. He is in charge of a very extensive and well fitted up laboratory, endowed for the advancement of elec- 61 PROPHECY Cffontinuedl ti-ical science. Doc has not discovered or invented anything startling yet, but although slow, you know he delves deep, and you may confidently expect to hear from him in the future. After graduation Cliff Robbins made his way, by means devious and round-about, to Canada, where he was overtaken by a job in Vancouver. He wrote to Moody some time ago and it was in that way I heard about him. It seems that he is doing well, being in charge of both the designing and installation of a big order of electrical machinery in Vancouver. He is the Canadian representative of an American manufacturing firm. The fellow who has traveled farthest is Burrows. After getting married he traveled to Egypt and the beloved desert. I-Ie is the advertising and sales-agent of an American farm implement company which is bucking the International Harvester Company. It is largely due to NNalter's efforts that his company is the success which it is. He intends to establish a branch in Cairo. His wife accompanied him on the trip and Burrows writes that it is one long vacation. Don't forget to let me know about all the fellows who are with you. Sincerely, DOC, g Asst. Chief Eng. Darby 81 Angora Railroad, Ltd. After reading the letter I gave him the telegraphed compliments of Roberts, sent by means of one of his new 30,000-mile wireless systems, congratulating him on the banishment of Professor Bea- ver. This attitude surprised us all, for Roberts was an electrical genius, but then we students must stick together. Applegate left us, and as Thorn was struggling with indecision as to Whether to make the raven pierce the azure bluen or the bluze alure or the Nblue azure'f Van de Mark and I were left alone. 62 PROPHECY CContinuedJ I take pleasure in quoting Van de Mark's words, which show how much he relies upon my good judgment as an advisor, and in what esteem he holds me: Jones, the police have lately given me the details of a dastardly plot which is being hatched under our noses. Three men are in it. One is that fiend Johnson, who slandered me from the bal- cony yesterday. I-Ie is a professor at the Mexican Institute of Technology, but happily is now jailed. The other is Johnston, editor of a mean little paper called 'The Chalk Throwerf You remember that he always did like to throw things in the drawing-room? The third is Scott, who is the leader of a new sect, the Do Nothingsf' who believe in taking part in nothing, one of their peculiar princi- ples being a hatred of personal photographs. By this reticence they think they can prolong their lives. Well, as the poet says, 'when things are like this'-that is, when three such peculiar people get together-there is bound to be trouble. Scott has the idea, Johnston preaches it in his paper and Johnson has invented a hideous thing called a two-phase rotary converter, which produces this slothful feeling in any individual co-ming in contact with it. You and I must defend the honest, hard-working, peaceful Mexican public, so what shall we do with them ?t'1 . ' I then advised Vandy to have both Johnston and Scott expelled from the country? reason- ing that Johnston could get his Old job, keeper of the axf' in the Physics Lab., and that as Scott didn't believe in doing anything, it would not matter where he went. I Johnson we allowed to stay, after repriinand, for the poor guy was still married and depended upon teaching for a living. The debarkation of these exiles was supervised by Lewis, the chief of police, who has profited by his experience with the park ,guards and has made a good cop. - Vandy and I, at the call of VVinter, now went in the palace for tea. 63 Trip to Tacony. Friday morning, April 19, dawned bright and cool. The weather was ideal for walking and was all that could be desired by the Senior Mechanicals and Civils, who were going' on a sight-seeing trip, planned and conducted by Professor Starkey. At 8 A. M. we started to gather at West Phila- delphia Station, and five of us-Applegate, Burrows, jones, Van de Mark and VVinter-left there on the 8.07 way-train to New York, We picked Steer up along the road, and when we arrived at Tacony station we found Thorn and Johnston waiting for us. VVe marched down to the office of the Disston Saw Wo1'lcs and waited for the rest of the bunch. Professor Starkey joined us here, and when all had arrived we started through the works. Soon we began to wonder where all the saws made there could possibly be used. The thing that impressed us most was the completeness of the factory. Everything used in the manufacture of all kinds of saws was made completely from mater- ials in the rawest state. On coming out of here, we walked the railroad track and arrived at the pumping station at Lardnerls Point. Here we inspected everything from the bottom of the pumps to the top of the cylin- ders in the engine rooms and then went to the boiler rooms, and amid the good-natured jibes of the attendants we climbed up a winding staircase to the coal conveyor that supplies the stokers. After eating our lunch we cut across lots to a glass factory, Leaving this, we pounced down on a grocery store and ice cream parlor. Seeing us come out of this, an old woman exclaimed: My Gawd, never seen so many fellers in me life V' 'fOf course not, answered one of the bunch, this is Taconyf' After visiting the Quaker City Rubber Company and the Frankford Arsenal we scattered to our homes feeling tired and dirty, but very grateful to the one who had planned the trip.

Some one has said that war makes history, and this is probably why the junior class possesses nothing of what might be called a history, for we are peacefully inclined-partially because our presi- dent is from jersey, and partially because we've nothing to war against except Physics. Wfhat we will call this ,little article therefore will be a Hchronicle. At first, just after we arrived at the Institute late in September, 1910, we were very much awed and humbled by the upper classmen, who took particular delight in parading us around that lot across the street. Of course, the parading wasn't so bad, but the way they dressed us-and with a large bevy of queens looking on! Finally we screwed up our courage and banded together. Wfalls, despite the fact hels from .Teri sey, stood out as a good leader, and as one capable of avenging us on the Sophs, so we made him presi- dent. Under his guidance we were organized into such good form that when the bowl fight came off we made the Sophs bow their heads in ignominious defeat-from the very first they stood no more chance than a snowball in McCreightls forge shop! Having thus humbled the Sophs, our existence became more pleasant, and we settled down to work -gradually learning that Physics is, like measles or the mumps, 'fsomething you've got to have, and. later on, we found that we could stand the sarcasm of the lord of the chemical lab. almost as well as we could bear the noxious odors drifting about his department. But the shops, particularly the one where they tried to teach us carpentry-that was always the thorn in our side! But one must take the thorns with the roses, so we stood it like men-borne up by the knowledge that in the junior year it was not necessary for us to enter such places of torment. 68 K JUNIOR HISTORY CContinuecD Shortly after Xmas the class smoker came off, and it was here we learned that our upper class- men weren't so bad after all-the seeming brutal fashion in which they held us up to ridicule before the maids from the Institute in the early part of the term being only an overflow of their youthful class spirit. Vtfe immediately forgave them and joined in the fun-making it into an uproariously en- joyable evening. V Next came our battle with our hrst college mid -years, and we nearly crumpled up under their im- pact. W'e recovered, however, and Clike timej went marching on-many of us with a few deep scratches, but scratches heal if treated properly, so we returned for another round. A few new ones jumped into our midst at this point, the most noteworthy of whom proved to be Howard Rusbey Smith, from Nutley, N. I. the tells us there is such a placej. His pedigree mostly depends upon the fact that he was once a famous athlete in the Newark Y. M. C. A. By this time most of us had found ourselves, so things progressed smoothly-the only excite- ment afforded us being provided by Kamp, a moving-picture man from a village called Manayunlc. Somehow he got mixed up with some scales in the machine shop, and this little incident provided amuse- ment for us 'till the end of the term, when we again had our semi-annual battle with the exams. ln addition we had the privilege of removing the scratches we had received at the end of january. This combination only permitted a survival of the fittest, so our ranks were somewhat thinned when we again assembled at the Institute in September. ' Again the peaceful nature of the junior class manifested itself. This time in the fact that they never tried to humble the freshmen. The latter were a hefty bunch, and a few mean people sug- gested that the juniors held by the slogan that Discretion is the better part of valor. Our president declares, however, that it was our peaceful nature: and, as he's the president, l dare not contradict him. ' 69 JUNIOR HISTORY CContinuedD Another diversion presented itself, however, in the form of a new instructor in Graphics, Mr. Atherton. Wfalls was again elected president and Ingle the secretary of the class. Thomas, despite the fact that Diogenes didn't rind him when he went around with his lantern, was chosen treasurer. McCoy was elected the editor-in-chief of The Echo, which accounts for the fact that most of the staff are junior Engineers. Billy Gamber, since gone by the way of least resistance, was the business manager. Another class smoker was held, which even eclipsed the previous one in the matter of enjoy- ment. Five hundredl' constituted the main diversion of the eveningg and in this Forrie Brown otherwise known as jeff,'! beat out Ingle for the boobie prize. This was a pity, for if ever one de- serves a boobie prize it's that chap Ingle. The mid-years again hit us with stunning force, and a few went by the board, among whom, we are sorry to say, was Billy Gamber. In most histories the peculiarities of the leading characters are often portrayed. So, in this one, it might be well to call attention to some of the characteristics of the principal actors in the junior Class-it being an interesting phenomena that people living under the same conditions can have such widely different temperaments. VVith us, for instance, we submit to ive hours of Physics a week, working like sin in the lab. and sleeping in the lectures, again, we spend three hours a week in the chem. lab., where the noxious fumes would stagger a horse, or, from the Mechanical and Electrical labs. we go to the same washroom, using the same black soap and drying our hands by swinging them through the air, as towel racks canit be used to dry one's hands upon, lastly, we have three hours a week singing popular songs in Machine Design, and still our characteristics are vastly different! Take, for instance, Barclay. He can talk for hours in the most interesting way, and yet say nothing. H. R. Smith, on the other hand, says so much that we ofttimes close our ears with our hands. 70 JUNIOR HISTORY CContinuecD Lewis resembles these two somewhat in the fact that he asks many. many questions and is one who likes to get down to the bottom of things. In Mechanics of Materials this tendency isvery marked, and it is whispered by those who know that Lewis' inquiries into the intricate details of things have often caused a delicate pink to overspread the cheeks of our instructor-even to the tips of his ears! Another characteristic abounding in the class is wit. VVarfel has it to a marked degree. He is one huge joke himself, and his clever delivery of the latest songs and the turkey trot makes life less burdensome. Mr. Ryder, however, doesn't appreciate his turkey trotting. lngle, another of our jokers, has a wit which reminds one of good champagne-not in the fact that it's bright and spark- ling-, but it is extra dry. Tex Caldwell is noted for his stories of how they do things at home in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is also famous for the great number of suggestions he offers the profs. ln the matter of brains, too, we have a few. Moy, for instance, knows more Physics than the profsg but the trouble is he realizes it. Cook is Moy's secretary. For bravery Murer and 'W. P. Gleeson have the rest of the class beaten to a frazzle, for they had the nerve to cut twenty-seven hours of chemistry last term. Freed, Kirk and Horwath are too playful to be worth mentioning Qexcept that it's a pity Freed must chew such a poor brand of tobaccoj, so we will make this the conclusion of this history of the Junior Engineers.

One of the most important events with the opening of the Engineering Department last fall was the ushering in and reception of the Class of 1914. This year's class of Prep engineers, com- monly known as Freshmen, contained about the usual amount of raw material. The first class meeting was held in room 320, Thursday, October 5, 1911. Mr. George Kelly acted as chairman and the following officers were elected: - President-Mr. VVilliam Printz. Vice President-Mr. Russell Link, Secretary-Mr. George Kelly. Treasurer-Mr. Musser Moore. Mr. Parker Lloyd was chosen as Echo and athletic representative of the class. Soon after Mr. Kelly was elected Secretary he changed his course to that of Commerce and Finance and Mr. E. B. Cooper was elected to succeed him as Secretary. The class, which is divided into three sections, at the first of the year numbered 48, but nine have given up for various reasons, some of them changing to other courses at Drexel. Owing to the immense amount of work connected with the course there is time for few other things. However, during the year one banquet, which was a decided success, was held and class pins and class pipes were purchased by the class. ' One member of'Section A, Lloyd, because of accidentally injuring a wrist, has been compelled to discontinue a part of the regular work for a time. Miller, our biggest fellow, is a hustler and makes every step count. That lVIcCafferty and Lemmon, John Cabot and his son Sebastianff have 75 - ' FRESHMEN HISTORY ccominiieap missed their calling altogether, is the general opinion of their fellow-classmates. Lemmon has already won fame as an explorer, actually discovering that Broad street crosses the Delaware River. Borie and Gatchel are another pair of fun-loving inseperables. Vianna has started a call that every Fresh- man has down to perfection. Both he and Castanea have helped the fellows to realize that ze Ameri- can g'irls are so nicef' Brown is a little fellow, but he has demonstrated to the class and Mr. Mc- Creight that he is ,capable of striking a blow, with a sledge, so' powerful that it has all the effects of a steam hammer, smashing anything Brownie happens to hit. In the machine shop Dave', Ferree usually comes around to see how the other fellows' machines are running. In order to relieve the monotony during graphic statics period Sanchez occasionally gives us a11 imitation of Caruso. At such times even Riley and Delp straighten up from over their drawing-boards. Section A has established its reputation, and is known as the hardest working section of the Freshman class, with 36 hours per week on their roster. They are also the dumbest bunch, not being exempt in any subject. Nevertheless, the highest general averages thus far made by the class are claimed by members of Section A. Section B, consisting mostly of electrical engineers-to-bef' has the reputation of being the best prepared for the course, most of its members being graduates of manual training schools. This prob- ably accounts for the great number of loafers, while they are even then among the best in scholastic attainments. They consider themselves an exclusive bunch, there being only 12 men in it, having lost four Since starting the course. Funk is the smallest of the 12 and is continually losing something, having once lost his entire drawing table. He is also the theatre representative of the class. Hub- bard is the largest in both heart and body, and gives the section advice on hydraulics and Fluids. Dyer and VVoltf are one and inseparable, and are always found together. 76 F RESHMEN HISTORY CContinuedJ p Beatty is real cute, but likes to throw blackboard erasers too often to suit some of the more studious, like Donohoe and Printz. . Bud Fisher is the wireless man, being able to do most anything without wires of any kind. Bradford talks because he can't help it, and Haywood laughs solely for the amusement of his friends. Bower succeeds in most everything, but can't seemto learn to build a fire in forge shop. Last, but by no means the least, of this brilliant dozen is Goldsmith-not Goldheim, as some have miscalled him-who is the expert of the entire engineering school on slide-rules, gas engines, milling machines, locomotives and thumb-tacks. ' One of the most successful classes in civil engineering that has dropped into Drexel Institute in many years may be found in Section C. Its success is due not entirely to the forming of sharks in physics nor to the finding of the missing link, but to adding a little Moore knowledge to the collec- tion and Batt -ing out such foolishness as sometimes enters the brains of noted men. This noted corps is made up of only I4 men, all tired and all f'true.', In the ranks of society they range all the way from the ex-convict 999 style to the conscientious, or almost f'ministerial class. ' In appear- ancegfrom the rough-neckl' to the most starched and 'fdude-ickled of all creationg in stature, from the smallest to the tallest men among the engineers. VVright can be seen most any time of 'day or night wandering to or from the beloved Physics Lab.g Darwin in one hand and a bottle of nitro-glycerine or a bomb in the other, and Davenport, his guard and legal adviser, is always trailing close behind. Bostwick is a tall, red-headed chap, who talks so much that it is difficult to slip a word in edgewise. In the other extreme is I-Iarris, who scarcely talks at all. I-Ie was a most successful captain of the Drexel Reserves basketball team. Chief among the many interesting things in mechanical drawing class are the argu- ments carried on by Becky Batt and VVillow Grove Moore. Batt batts while Moore adds a little more, and so it goes. Then above the noise of the controversy is heard the ever inquisitive voice of 77 FRESHMEN HISTORY CContinuedl , Link exclaiming, I will wait just 10 minutes to have my instruments returned, if not then I will tell the professorf and so he does. There are few who have two homes. However, Ganser, of Norris- town, is blessed with a pass to the asylum for feeble-minded, good any night. Glasby has become so industrious that Section C can no longer hold him, and he is seeking admittance to the electrical sec- tion. Rowand and Stackhouse are a happy-go-lucky pair that takes things as they come and cares for nothing, and Aydlotte is always willing to offer suggestions on any surveying which comes before the Section. Cooper may be seen six days out of the week with a stock tie and those cerise cheeks, rosy as the lips which have perhaps touched them the night before. Always the last of this energetic section is Johnson, who is usually seen in some remote corner fast asleep. He goes to sleep in every class, especially the more interesting ones, and the more earnestly the professor talks the sounder he sleeps. But such is the life of the Preps. C. M. HAYXNOOD, I. R.

I 79 tbrganizatinna NEW YORK DREXEL CLUB. - ' The New York Drexel Club is probably one of the youngest organizations bearing the name of Drexel. Mr. Beatty, a graduate engineer of Drexel, conceived the idea of bringing the men of the above-named institution into closer contact with each other. On April 8, 1911. at the Hotel Albert, New York City, the club was organized. Mr. Beatty was elected temporary chairman, and Mr. Green temporary secretary. Later the club was incorporated under the laws of New York City. The main object is to aid Drexel graduates in a social and business way. Although practically in its infancy, the club has already done considerable good work, and is to be commended on the splendid progress made.

School spirit at Drexel institute, and especially among the Engineering students, is on the increase for lo and behold. the present school year sees a debating society launched. A step in the right direc- tion? Vlfhat? It happened something like this: A few of the more serious and thoughtful Seniors. realizing that the courses in engineering at Drexel lacked some of those things which bring out and develop the social side of mankind, got together and drew up some by-laws and a constitution for a proposed debating society. Its prime object was to develop a student's confidence in himself and his ability to get up before an audience and express liis views on a subject without getting his tongue tied in double-bow knots. A general invitation was extended to all Seniors to meet in East Hall lecture-room and discuss the advisability of forming such a society. The outcome of the meeting was that the constitution and A S2 its by-laws were accepted as read, ofiicers were elected and debators selected, together with their sub- jects for debate. The constitution provided that a chairman should hold office for one meeting only at a time, and that each succeeding chairman should be appointed by the one leaving the chair. The object of this was to give all members the experience of conducting a meeting according to parlia-- mentary law. The first meeting was held December 15, 1911, in East Hall lecture-room. The first chairman was Mr. E. S. Van de Mark, and Secretary and Treasurer Mr. G. S. Appelgate. The subject for debate was: Resolved, That Sunday Baseball Should be Permittedf, The debaters were: Affirm- ative, Messrs. Seyffert and johnsong negative, Thorn and Burtis. The system of deciding the winner of the debate was rather unique. Three judges were appoint- ed by the Chairman, and also a ballot was taken among the members present, so that a double opin- ion was thereby obtained. Professors Starkey, Beaver, Smithg Benkert and Creagmile were honorary members, and were very helpful to the society with their generous advice and talks to the members. , Some of the subjects debated were: Resolved, That the U. S. Was justified in Breaking Her Treaty VVith Russiaf' f'Resolved, That Wfomanls Suffrage Should be Encouraged in the U. S.g fille- solved, That the Use of Artificial Beautifiers Should Not flmpair a lNoman's Social Standingf, and others too numerous to go into detail. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ORCHESTRA S4 The Drexel Orchestra. The school year of IQII-I2 found a goodly number of recruits in the Institute for the orchestra. Vtfe organized in November and soon had mastered quite a repertoire, including anything from Tann- hauser to Alexander's Bandf' Our audiences around the Institute seemed to appreciate mostly numbers of the latter sort. I Wfe made our first appearance at the mass-meeting in the auditorium, where we were enthusi- astically received. Our efforts must have been strongly suggestive, for We will all remember how at a subsequent student gathering, as we struck up a lively march in the middle of the program, almost the entire assembly rose and started to file out before the meeting was over. Other appearances were at the Wfednesclay morning assemblies and at the Engineers' smoker, at which we were favored with the help of Mr. Atherton, whose efforts on the cornet were appreciated by those present that evening. Our selections seemed to add greatly to the program of cards, smokes, speeches and last, but not least, Heats, and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all. - P XVe had planned to give an entertainment and dance in conjunction with. the Glee Club, but the dissolution of the club, owing to insufficient material, prevented the completion of the project. Our last appearance will probably be at the class day activities, and we hope the class of '13 will again organize and continue the orchestra during their final year. C. ELMER THUMBERT.

Very little was heard of the club during the remainder of the scholastic year to outside listeners, but the minutes of those meetings show that much business and upbuilding was in progress. In September of 1910 the originators were then Seniors and the work of building up the organi- zation was started more earnestly than ever, and for the iirst time the school in general knew of its existence. During the scholastic year of 1910-1911 many new men were enrolled to membership. ln May of last year the first annual banquet was held. It was with great reluctance that the re- maining members of the club saw the class of IQII leave the doors of Drexel. They were all in- tently interested in the club and its progress, and apparently still show that keen interest. They were an amiable, cautious, sensible and clever class of fellows and deserve much credit for the great Work they have started. 86 D. C. E. CConti'nuedD , The possibilities of such an organization as this are manyfold. The men who have gone out from school and have engaged in engineering work would come encounter and solve the ber. XVhen a man is rightly interested in engineering and and tell the men still in school how they to the best accounts, are no few in num- feels that he has acquired considerable various problems, which, according ability along certain lines, he delights in showing others about that along which he is interested, or on which he is working and in school in this manner to show that the training he has received was far from a total loss. The men can profit much from talks on subjects of a technical nature, given by men who have graduated from school, and are now engaged in engineering work. NVhile only two classes have graduated since the origination of the club these talks are a common occurrence. If the club continues its present progress, and there is every reason to believe that it will, it will be one of the strongest organizations connected xv ith the Institute.

One of the foremost and active of those who helped to organize the Frat was Ernest W. Row- land, a brother of Arthur Rowland, the present director of Engineering at Drexel Institute. Mr. E. NV. Rowland was elected the first President, and was re-elected to serve a second year. He was followed in office by the following men: Theodore Adams, Alfred L. VVay, E. S. Van de Mark. The fact that the Fraternity continues to prosper speaks well for the integrity, honesty, busi- ness ability and high moral character of all who are members of this, the only Frat. existing at Drexel Institute.

The Science and Technology Alumni is one of the department branches ofthe Associated Alumni of the Drexel Institute. At present the department Alumni is composed of the graduates of the Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering courses, the courses in Science, the School of Mechanic Arts and the courses in Mechanical Drawing and Machine Construction. These last two courses were in- cluded in the department alumni by an amendment to the constitution passed two years ago. There has been an active organization with the proper officers for the last six or seven years. The officers for the year 1911-1912 are: President .................... ,... . G. XV. Selby, S.

The dues are 5121.50 to the Associated Alumni, which includes membership in the Department Al- umni. All graduates automatically become members of the Department Alumni, and are expected to take an active interest in the work of the Association. It is hoped that the organization will be able at no distant time to establish some means of keeping in close touch with all graduates, so as to be of assistance in obtaining positions for members. This work can be greatly furthered by each indi- vidual keeping the Association accurately informed of his whereabouts. Up. to the present time the activities of the organization have taken the form of an annual din- ner. Tne one this year is the fourth. The first one was held in the Institute, the East Hall lecture- room being used as a banquet-room. About nity men attended. The next two were held at Kugler's. 75 attending the first and 100 the second. These dinners serve to keep up the interest and to bring the men together at least once a year. The 1911 dinner was remarkable in the attendance by out-of- town members, men coming from Pittsburgh, New Haven, New York, Baltimore and VVilmington. Q2 93 Athletics. Drexel has always figured prominently in the local athletic world. Her teams have been most successful, and of late years this success has been growing with a rapid stride. Though handicapped. as they have been by not having an athletic field, the candidates for the various teams have rounded into good shape, and there has always been enough material from which to pick a fast combination. This last year has closed the epoch of conditioning in the above manner. Through the generosity of Mr, Van Rensselaer an athletic field has been constructed at Run- nimedef' near Lansdowne, Pa., for the use of the students, and every accommodation has been provided for their comfort. An excellent quarter-mile track incloses a baseball diamond, and the field is ideal in every respect. 'With the advent of the new field interest in track and field events has vastly increased. On May 17 the first annual Drexel Day was inaugurated, On this day the different classes vied with each other for individual supremacy and forthe championship of the Institute. The faculty and 'varsity indulged in a game of baseball. The day was a pronounced success and the games were hotly contested. Silver and bronze medals were given for first and second in each event, and a silver loving cup was given to the team winning the championship. M, C. Fisher was manager of the track team and L. P. Lloyd was captain. . The baseball team developed into a fast combination and went through a successful season. Bill Seiffert grew lin' fame as the season progressed and developed into the star twirler for the Blue and Gold. F. B. Willianis handled the hot ones at third base and Lewis starred in the field. The team was coached by Prof. C. G. Dill, whose untiring efforts were greatly responsible for the team's success. I .Tennis has always claimed a foremost part in Drexel's athletics and the team always enjoys an ambitious schedule. This last season was no exception, and Manager I. F. McCoy had such teams as Swarthmore, Delaware, Rutgers and P. M. C. on his schedule. E. C. Conrad was captain. 94 BASKET BALL TEAM 95 Basketball. The season just closing has been a most successful one for the various teams of the Institute. The basketball team carried away most of the games on the schedule and gave an excellent exhibition of basketball throughout the entire year. The home games were all won by a safe margin and were well attended by the students. The victory over Delaware College was a notable achievement. In the game with Pennsylvania Military College our old rivals, Drexel, led during the first half, but owing to the crippled condition of the team were unable to check a rally in the last half and P. M. C. won. Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, Md., were also on the schedule. The season closed with a victory over Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.

Bonyer Zz Co. 99 Engineering at Drexel lnstitute in l896. In 1896 just two men graduated as the first class in Engineering. At that time there was only the course in Electrical Engineering, and in the whole department two regular and one special Seniors and eight Juniors, Professor Rowland's office and the Engineering class-rooms were in the second floor of numbers 28 and 30 South Thirty-second street, now used by the XfVl'E61l2lgCll1Ot Club and as a part of the Biological Laboratory, and the Instrumental Laboratory in the first floor, now a part of the restaurant. The Dynamo Laboratory was in its present location, but only half its present size, and so crowded with apparatus that it was often hard to find a place to work. There was no Mechanical Laboratory worthy of the name, about the only equipment being the 200,000-pound testing machine and a pipe vise. Nevertheless the mechanical plant of the Institute, which in those days consisted of four single-acting compound Xwestinghouse engines belted to dynamos, and the auxiliaries, was made good use of. In 1902 East Hall was completed and the School of Engineering moved into its present quar- ters. This marked the beginning of the growth of the School. A All the men in the early classes in Engineering would have been glad to have had the ad- vantages afforded by the present systematized instruction and good equipment, but feel that the course, even as it was then, fitted them to take their stand by graduates of other schools.
