Brrsiticut rittljctt i Bl IIE announcement of the resignation of President Pritchett. sub- mF niitted last December, to take effect upon the election of a successor, offers us an oppi.irtunitv to Iciok back fmni a student ' s standpoint upon the last five years or so at the Institute. At no time in its existence have L reater administrative problems presented themselves. To their solutiuii Dr. Pritchett ga e all the energv and concentration of his strong personalitv ' . The main question is now settled, and the minor problems which were crowding in behind can be dealt ith in a positive way. The arousal of the active interest and care of the Alumni in the Institute ' s welfare have been the jjrincipal results of Dr. Pritchett ' s adniin- istrati ' e policy. In an educational way his influence has been always un the side of progress and improv eiuent. Rest-arch work and advanced instruction have been especially encouraged ; entrance requirements have been atlvanced and additional courses and subjects introduced: and the Facultv has in- creased in number from fifty-four to seventy-one, or o er thirty per cent. The number of graduate students has rapidly increased, until now they form nearly one-se enth of the entire student body. Dr. Pritchett has done everything in his power to improve the social conditions among us. and for this he has earned the respect and gratitude of e ery Tech man. To him are due Field Day, which gives the Fresh- men the best possible start in an athletic way: the Union and the Kom- mers, at which we may get in touch with each other : and the Convocations, at which we may get in touch with the workl at large while sharing the inspiration of some of the nation ' s best minds. It is to •• Prexy. in fact, that we owe nearly all the social advantages that we now possess; and we appreciate our indebtedness thoroughly. This is but a brief resume of Dr. Pritchett ' s years at Tech, for we are glad that the time to say farewell has not vet come. When that time shall arrive, he may be sure that he lakes to his new work the hearty good-will of all his students, who know him not only as •• Prexy. but as a friend.
