IN undertaking the preparation of this, the thirteentli vol- ume of the Institute ' s annual publication, the editors soon realized that any further increase in size was inidesira- ble, and hence decided to direct all efforts toward im- provement along other lines. In carr3ing on the work thus begun, it has been our greatest aim to produce a volume which should be of interest not only to Technology men, Init also to their friends. To this end we have endeavored to give in the following pages as complete a description as possible of the character and object of each of the more prominent organizations of the Institute. In presenting these we have tried to secure an arrangement of matter which, while not impairing the unity of the vai ' ious departments, should provide sufficient variety to hold the reader ' s interest and attention throughout the entire book. We have also exercised considerable care in the elimination of matter formerl} ' published in TECHXKy ' E which, in our judgment, may be more properly found in other places. Early in its career the Editorial Board suffered a severe loss in the withdrawal from the Institute of Messrs. Rood and Hewitt, of the artis- tic staff. Both, however, have contributed a considerable number of drawings, for which we desire to express our sincere thanks. And now, with fear and trembling, we submit the results of our labors, and await the criticisms of our readers. 5
