He then moved to Philadelphia, attending private and gram- mar school. In 1892 he went to Springfield, Mass., attending grammar and high school, being graduated from the latter in 1889. Mr. H. W. Geromanos then entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, taking the Metallurgical Chemistry Course, receiving the degree of S. B. in 1902. After a year teaching Metallurgy at Columbia University he studied Open Hearth Steel Manu- facture in the Open Hearth Mill of the Lackawanna Steel Company at Buffalo. In 1905, owing to ill health, he came east for a rest and ended up by going into teaching, being appointed to take charge of the Science Department of the Natick High School in the Fall of 1905, and later was elected to take charge of the Department of Chemistry of the Maiden High School and continued in that position for three years. In 1909 he was appointed Dean of the Evening Polytechnic School of the Boston Y.M.C.A. and started Co-Operative Courses. In 1910 he became Dean of the Co-Operative School of Engineering, where his good nature, business ability, and energetic interest in all college activities have endeared him to the entire student body. v. a H T«ys JS ; ' .y HiJ-CJ.

Thus it has seemed desirable, and necessary, to pre- face this brief history of the School by some general remarks, which, I hope, may serve to explain the reasons for certain things we are doing, which differ from some of our preconceived ideas of higher education. In the spring of 1909 I was appointed Dean of the Evening Polytechnic School of the Department of Edu- cation of the Association and, as part of my duties, was also to take charge of all technical courses offered in the day, the first of which were to be started in the fall of that year. Before the opening of school in September, the pros- pectus of a proposed part-time engineering school, about to be started by a mid-western Association, came to my attention, and gave the starting impetus to the idea which since has developed into the Co-Operative School of En- gineering of Northeastern College. Upon looking into the courses already offered in the Polytechnic School, and those contemplated for the day school, it was found that the essential subjects of en- gineering work were either already being given, or would be in the fall, and that by a combination of day and evening courses we would be justified in starting Co- Operative Courses in Civil, Mechanical and Chemical En- gineering for high school graduates. For several years, previous to taking up the work in the Department of Education, I had taught in high schools, and had been greatly impressed by the large per- centage of students who were graduated from the high school and were unable, for various reasons, to continue their education to fit themselves for specific positions in the community. Two of the greatest obstacles were : First, lack of money, and second, lack of the complete preparation that the colleges and technical schools re- quired. To attend college for four years required from $800 to $1200 capital, for tuition and books alone, and a student had to plan all his work for four years in high school with this end in view. It was practically impos- sible for one to start on any course, save the college preparatory one, and get the required work done ade- quately for admission to college. This condition natur- ally resulted in a great many, who took the commercial, or general courses, on entering high school, and later found their ability and finances to be such as to justify a college, or technical training, being debarred from such further education because they could not make up all the requirements demanded by the higher institutions. The part-time plan of engineering education seemed to me to be a great stride in the direction of taking care Ofte (ttaul nm, 1917 of many such young men, for it obviously would enable them to finance their education by the returns from their outside work. Furthermore, in such an educational plan, unless it extends for more than four years, which seems to me undesirable for many reasons, only the essential subjects, required in the profession, can be taught, hence such entrance requirements as the modern languages, his- tory, literature, etc., do not seem to be necessary and hence can be omitted. Under these conditions many stu- dents could easily prepare to enter such work by taking special high school subjects in the last two years of their course. On the other hand, to carry on work of engi- neering character and grade, requires a mental maturity that is not ordinarily found in students younger than high school graduates, and so while the specific, scholastic requirements might be reduced to such fundamental sub- jects as English Composition, Mathematics and Physics, the general requirements in regard to character, demon- strated capacity, and maturity of mind, must be very rigid for such an entrance basis to be efficient. The foregoing considerations led to the basis adopted for entrance to the School, namely, graduation from a high school, or its equivalent, and entrance examinations in English, Mathematics and Physics, supplemented by a careful consideration of the candidate ' s fitness, as deter- mined by our inquiries in regard to his personal character, ability, attitude toward study and work, as furnished by school officials, employers, and others with whom we com- municate in regard to him. It should be borne in mind that we are fully impressed with the desirability of a broad, general education, and the inclusion of general subjects in any college curriculum, but in a course of this kind it is felt that the fundamental object is to fit the stu- dent to occupy a definite position in a very limited time, and hence only the necessary training can be given thoroughly. Another, and very important, advantage in such part- time education, is the opportunity it affords the student to find himself. The combination of school studies and practical engineering, brings home to the student, in a way accomplished by no other means, just what his chosen life work is to be, and early shows whether he has made the right choice, or not. Our experience has de- monstrated that this is one of the greatest advantages of this type of education for a large number of men. Being, then, in hearty sympathy with the idea, having the neces- sary conditions for carrying it out, and not being ham- pered by traditions, or unsympathetic committees, it was decided to give the plan a trial. The next move was to get some engineering concerns to agree to take our students on the part-time basis. Through the efforts of the organization then known as Boston — 1915 the following firms were persuaded to take our students : The Boston Elevated Railway Co., The Boston and Maine Railroad Co., The Boston and Al- bany Railroad Co., and The Boston Consolidated Gas Co. The next work was to get out a prospectus, which was done in typewritten form, and sent to about fifty high She (Eautormt, 191 7 schools in, or near Boston. At last in the fall of 1909 the courses opened with eight students ; two taking the Civil Engineering Course, who were assigned to the Boston and Albany Railroad Co., two taking the Mechan- ical Engineering Course, who were placed with the Boston Elevated Railway Co. ; three others taking the Mechan- ical Engineering Course, two of whom went to the Bos- ton and Maine Railroad Co.. while the third was em- ployed by the Boston Consolidated Gas Co., having as his alternate the eighth student who took the Chemical En- gineering Course. The men worked in pairs, alternating between the School and the employing firms at one week- intervals. At school they took Drawing, Chemistry. Physics, and English in the day, and Mathematics and Surveying in the evening. Thus the first year of work started with four students in school, who exchanged places with the other four at the close of each weekly period. There were in all, four instructors, who taught on a part-time basis, coming in only at the regular hours for each subject, either day, or evening. From the first the plan demonstrated its capacity for successful opera- tion. The students made excellent progress with the em- ploying firms, and at school showed the capacity for hard, intelligent work that is so essential an element of success. During this first year the Association Building on Boyl- ston Street was destroyed by fire, and the school work was omitted for a short period. Soon, however, we started again in temporary quarters at the Boston Young Men ' s Christian Union, and later were housed at Ashbur- ton Place. The headquarters of the students at this latter place was a small room about ten feet by six feet, on the top floor, which was just capable of holding four desks crowded closely together, with the four chairs for them, and a very small table for the instructor and one chair. The blackboard was about five feet by four feet in area. By the late spring of 1910 we got out a small printed prospectus of about sixteen pages, which was mailed to about one hundred high schools and, in addition, I visited many of the high schools to personally explain the work we were doing. In the fall of 1910, the courses opened with about thirty-eight students, two more part-time instructors, and several more firms employing the students. By the close of that year, it was demonstrated that the idea was not only entirely feasible, but met an absolute need in the community, that was cared for by no other agent. As a result, the Co-operative Courses were changed to the Co-Operative School of Engineering, with myself as Dean, and have since been continued on that plan. Thus in September, 1911, the School opened for the first time as a complete entity, with about sixty students, eight part-time instructors giving courses in the day, the evening work for the men reduced to only two subjects, and several more firms employing the students. Also an additional Course, Electrical Engineering, was added to the curriculum. 1912 and 1913 saw still further growth in the enrollment, and the spring of 1913 saw the first Ofte (Jaulbron, 191F graduating class, four members of the original eight, who had started four years before. In the fall of 1913 the School moved into its present quarters in the new Association Building, starting out for the first time under favorable conditions of housing and equipment. At that time the enrollment was about one hundred and ten students. During that year it was de- cided to try a two-week alternation period in place of the single week, and this arrangement went into effect about the middle of the year. The longer period was found to be much better from the standpoint of employers and students, and so was adopted permanently and has been continued ever since. During this year, all night courses were given up, and the entire schedule of studies has since been carried on during the day. During the years of 1915 and 1916, the student body kept up its steady growth, and the present school year sees one hundred and sixty students enrolled in the various courses. The co-operating firms have been in- creased from the first four, to nearly forty, and whereas in the early years of the School, it taxed one ' s persuasive powers to the utmost to get a concern to even consider giving the plan a trial, at present, owing to the fine rec- ords made by the students in their work, we cannot supply enough men to fill the positions offered. In the School, the courses have been modified and added to, in pursuance of the policy that has predominated from the start, that our function was service to the young men, and that only by the best education that we could give, could such service be rendered properly. The standards, al- ways high, have been continuously raised, and the in- structing staff, steadily increasing in number and effi- ciency, has grown from the first four part-time instruc- tors to the present ten full-time and six part-time men, who are so ably working to bring the School to still higher efficiency and ideals. While the foregoing statements tell what the School has done, it is the graduates who are the only true measure of the work, and it is with the greatest pride that we look at the men who have gone into the world ' s work after their training with us and so ably demonstrated the value of our work to them. Although relatively few in number, being in all less than seventy-five, they are to be found scattered about the United States, in Canada, Porto Rico and the Philip- pines, some as electrical engineers, some designing drafts- men, others construction engineers, still others foremen, and yet others teachers, but, wherever they are found, they are showing the world that the School is doing its share to train men, not only to carry on the work of en- gineers, but to be men of high character and ideals, whose greatest satisfaction lies in the fact that they are per- forming their duties ably and conscientiously, and so are making the world better for their being in it. H. W. Geromanos. Gfte OJautorott, 191 7 (Eiuil Ipttgineering p f HE military engineers, who had to construct roads, ill fortifications, and other works essential to success ■ in war, were for a long time the only ones to whom the title of engineer applied. However, about the middle of the 18th century there began to arise a new class of engineers who concerned themselves with works which were not built by soldiers and which were not exclusively military in purpose. This class of engineers came to be known as Civil Engineers. All engineers were then known as either military engineers or civil engineers. Out of civil engineering, by a natural process of sub- divisions, have come the many other engineering profes- sions which will continue to be sub-divided as human knowledge progresses. Perhaps the first branch of en- gineering to be recognized as separate was Mechanical Engineering, which was soon followed by numerous other branches of engineering, so that Civil Engineering today is only one of many recognized branches of engineering. When the Co-Operative School of Engineering was founded in 1909, the Civil Engineering Department was not recognized as such as it had no equipment, no full time instructors, and only two students. The only strict- ly Civil Engineering subjects which were given were those offered by the Evening School of Engineering. However, the following year the enrollment had increased 16 Department to 14 and the Civil Engineering Department really had its beginning at this time. Mr. C. S. Ell, then a senior in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was engaged on a part time basis to give the Civil Engineering sub- jects in the first year, the work in the upper years being omitted. The equipment consisted of such surveying in- struments as could be rented for each exercise. At the beginning of the school year 1911-1912, the School purchased supplies consisting of a second-hand transit, stadia rod, tapes and pins and sufficient addi- tional equipment was rented to enable the Department to give all of the first and second year work in the curri- culum. In the fall of 1912 Mr. Ell was appointed as Head of the Civil Engineering Department, complete equipment for Elementary Surveying, Higher Survey- ing and Railroad work was secured and instruction was given in the first three years of the course. The department has continued to grow in enrollment so that this year there are 50 students enrolled. Several new members have been added to the Instructing Staff and the course has been revised and strengthened so that graduates will find no difficulty in competing with other Civil Engineers. The department has always been popu- lar with the students, as it has invariably enrolled a larger number than any other course in the School. QJ lie OJaulbrnn, 191 r Mechanical ijEttnutcering Separtmcnt ? f HE Mechanical Engineering course at the Co- ll L Operative School of Engineering was started in H 1909 with four students, which was at that time just one half of the School. During the first years of the course there was no regular Mechanical Engineering In- structor, as no professional work was given until the third year. Mr. Penard taught thermodynamics in the evening school and the day school men had to attend the evening session for that subject. Mr. Penard also taught mathematics in the da) ' school which he continued doing until this year. In 1911 Mr. Albert L. Gardner, an assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came to the School as a part time instructor, and the next year as a full time instructor and head of the Mechanical Engineering- Course, a position which he held until 1915, when he left to accept a position with the Fore River Shipbuilding Company. Mr. H. C. Mabbott took Mr. Gardner ' s place in 1915 and is now in charge of the course. At the present time there are twenty-seven men in the course, of whom seven are in the fourth year. This is the largest number of Senior Mechanicals since the School began. Next year there will probably be about the same number. The Mechanical Course has not increased in the earlier years as it should have. The training with some of our co-operating firms is excellent and in some of the machines shops the work and pay are equivalent to that of the outside man. The best thing about it is that when the Co-op gets his diploma he is ready to take a position of some responsibility instead of going through a pro- bationary period that the average college man has to go through. At the present time the opportunities of the Mechani- cal graduate are greater than in most other engineering lines. High labor costs has forced engineers to design labor saving machinery to keep down the prices, and there is still room for all the good men that the schools of the country can produce. But it is the man who com- bines practice with theory who gives the most to his em- ployer. Neither all practice nor all theory can get along by itself, so it would seem that the opportunities for our Co-operative man with a balanced judgment and educa- tion should be ever greater than the average technical school graduate. OftB (faul nm, 19 U Electrical Engineering iepartment ¥ HE uses of electricity have now become so diver- il L sified that the term Electrical Engineer means n less and less. A man to state his profession must state the particular branch of Electrical Engineering in which his work lies. In other words, we are in the age of the specialist, the age where an engineer although broadly an Electrical Engineer, is devoting his energy to some particular type or branch of Electrical Engineering. It is fortunate for the engineering schools that the fundamental principles of Electrical Engineering are generally applicable to its many branches without special- ization. If this were not true it would be difficult for the curriculum to keep pace with the demands upon it. The employer of today is not particularly interested in the special courses that the graduate has taken, but he is vitally interested in knowing if the graduate has a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of his profession. Together with this knowledge must go alert- ness, resourcefulness and reliability. Therefore the func- tion and the purpose of the Electrical Engineering De- partment is not merely to give a thorough training in fundamental theory, but also to give the men these other requisites which are absolutely necessary for their ulti- mate success. The Electrical Engineer must have a comprehensive knowledge of certain subjects closely associated with Electrical Engineering, namely, Physics, Applied Me- chanics, and Thermodynamics. Consequently a very con- siderable portion of the student ' s time is devoted to the study of these important subjects. Aside from the train- ing received in these courses, they are a necessary intro- duction to the laws and principles governing electricity. The professional subjects in the Electrical Engineer- ing Course are broadly in two groups, one dealing with electrical machinery, and the other with the commercial application of electrical machinery. In the first group a study is made of the fundamental principles and the op- erating characteristics of the various types of electrical machinery, apparatus and measuring instruments. In the second group the student considers their commercial applications and the inherent characteristics effecting their uses. He also applies his knowledge of alternating current circuits to the study of Electrical Transmission of Power, a subject of increasing commercial importance. An essential part of the Electrical Engineering Course is the laboratory work which is carried on for three years. We are fortunate in possessing an adequate Machinery and Electrical Measurements Laboratory in which to give the important training. In the Laboratory work the stu- dent is not merely required to learn how to operate the different types of machines but to obtain their character- istics. This in itself is an important correlation to the classroom work, and the experimental determination of afte OJaulton, 19ir the fundamental laws and principles of electricity and electrical machinery is of great value. The laboratory work, however, goes farther, and the student is thrown more and more on his own resources as the work pro- gresses. Each experiment to be performed becomes an assignment of certain definite results to be obtained in the best possible manner. A complete and concise report is required on the proposed method of performing each experiment as well as a final report on the results ob- tained. Special emphasis is placed on these reports be- cause of the training that the student receives in the proper use of English. The men in the Electrical Engineering Course are par- ticularly fortunate in their work with the co-operating firms. The experience gained will be a distinct asset in the future. For the present they are brought into in- timate contact with Electrical Engineering as applied to manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical machinery, apparatus and instruments. To them the commercial side of Electrical Engineering is not a thing of the future to be investigated after graduation ; instead it is a part of their college training. Q[tp (Haulbron, 191T QHjcmical jjzngittemng iepartment ( r HE Chemical Engineer is essentially a modern 11 L product. Keen competition is compelling manu- H facturers to replace the old rule-of -thumb meth- ods by scientific control and to utilize as far as possible every product of their plants. Consequently, a rapidly growing demand has arisen for men who possess, in ad- dition to skilled chemical knowledge, the training and ability for the efficient control of plants and processes, economical utilization of power, the conversion of factory by-products into marketable commodities, and the adap- tation and design of mechanical appliances to carry out chemical reactions on a large scale. The training of such men, since they must be able to consider propositions, processes, and plans from the combined viewpoints of the chemist and the engineer, should of necessity be very broad, combining that of both of the above named pro- fessions. It was with these considerations that the course in Chemical Engineering was put into the curriculum be- cause it was needed to complete the ideal sought, which was to offer such courses as were fundamental to all lines of engineering. The accomplishment of this object was attained by the School undertaking to offer courses in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering, all other engineering work such as Structural, Sanitary, Mining, etc., being really only modifications based on those four branches. The year the School started, only one student took the Chemical Engineering course, and in the succeeding early years of the School it was the course that apparently did not appeal to many students. In consequence of this fact the first graduating class of the School contained one Chemical Engineer, the second and third classes to be graduated did not contain any, and last year ' s class only three. This year there is only one in the senior class, one of our seniors having dropped out to accept a position as chief chemist of a large paper company. Owing to the prominence of chemistry and the chemical industries to which the war has given great publicity, that course is rapidly coming into its own and now the lower classes have a large percentage of chemical men in their make-up. This year we are co-operating with seven firms in connection with the Chemical Engineering course and could have more, had we sufficient students to supply the demand. It is interesting to note that statistics at the begin- ning of the present year, showed the various years of the School to have the following number of chemical engineers : First year 22 Second year 13 Third year 5 Fourth year 2 From the foregoing, it may be seen how the trend is more and more to make the Chemical Engineering course the big course of the School. 5[t|e CJaulton, 191T Walter Irving Badger, Jr., B.A., M.A., LL.B..

The spirit of class loyalty, the desire to 1 make good, which was the aim of our class for the first three years, suddenly renewed its activities the beginning of the fourth year. In every college activity our class has taken a prominent part. The athletic teams, the Glee Club, the societies and all other organizations number members of 1917 among their leaders. The original class is a most appropriate name given us, for many new ideas have been originated in our last year. Other classes may accomplish more, but none will desire more strongly a bright, successful future for our Alma Mater than will the Class of 1917. 33 Gfte (Jattforon, 191T Arthur Howard Brown, Brownie Everett Everett High Mechanical Engineering Yon never can tell Brownie is one of those quiet, studious, stay late after school, early to bed, sort of a fellow ; never known to miss a class in Thermo.

This class was the most motley gathering of young men that was ever assembled. Naturally, in its midst there are stars and the reverse. During the first year things went along quite smooth- ly, because of the fact that the Freshies had not yet begun to feel their own importance. Many dropped out along the wayside, leaving behind them their records of wondrous doings. In the second year these blooming engineers began to feel the dignity (?) of their position: even the Chemical Course men. Examples of this were the remarks of Pinky Kerr and his crowd, who were accustomed to come into the Lab. and say, Well, if that fellow isn ' t ever going to hold a conference in Qualitative Analysis, I am going in and see ' Gerry ' about it Among the Mechanical Course men there was often an intense feel- ing of antagonism aroused by the fact that they could not appear quite as important as they thought they should. Now comes the famous present year, leaving a mere handful of our former strong brigade. But still the core remains ; the pick of the tribe. For novices, these men have done themselves exceedingly proud. This certain- ly is a wonderful class ; a class of the most varied origi- nality, and one for which the best of success is desired, and to which the hearty support of the School is willing- ly offered.

Hey! who ' s that man iflff wearing the pajama coat? I ' ll bet you a nickel you haven ' t got the nerve to go in the office and ask for a schedule card. 1 wonder if that big stout man in the laboratory teaches chemistry ? Such were the utterances of that ungainly bunch of freshmen who be- sieged the Co-op. on the morning of the second Monday in September, 1915. They rounded us up in Room 451 and Mr. Geromanos explained the red tape which had to be gone through with before we were ready to sail ahead under full steam, and told us how much better the Co-op. School was than other similar institution. After registering at the Educational Office and parting with the summer ' s accumulation of coin, we proceeded to the supply room and got a padlock and a box of books. At that time we were perfectly innocent and were not aware of the very close relationship existing between a padlock and our books. That was one of the mysteries which the upper classmen told us would automatically clear itself up during the course of the year. The first week was pretty clear sailing, but work tightened up after that and we began to realize the virtues of a nine till five school day. Among the impressions of our first year ' s work which even time cannot blurr are those which had their origin in Math, and Physics I. Enough said. If the description of those eventful days was carried to five significant pages it couldn ' t equal the vivid picture which is now in the mind of everyone in our class. Our fellows were there with the bells on at both the Social and the Field Day at Riverside. We contributed two fellows to the basketball and four to the baseball team. After two weeks of head-scratching and filling up blue books with an unintelligible line of dope we bid farewell to the Co-op. and ventured forth into the summer, most of us in quest of hidden fortunes. Quite a few of us didn ' t find them however. Well that summer brought about many strange things. First of all, when we came to try and get down to work again Mr. Geromanos gave one of the most appreciated talks which we had ever listened to. He told us that due to the epidemic of infantile paralysis we would be given two more weeks of freedom. And not a fellow in the room shed a tear. Undoubtedly the most vivid and outstanding transformation which came to pass during those summer months was that which took place on the countenance of our Thermo instructor. But this was as nothing compared to the topographical changes which our classmate W. F. B. experienced. We are wondering whether this summer will be such a banner year for the hay growers. Soon after getting down to the routine again a movement was set on foot to publish a monthly school paper. That movement gained great impetus in a few days and the result of it can be seen by glancing over your files of the Co-op ' s. Five of the men on the staff are from our class. So marked has been the success of the Co-op. that the same staff of editors have undertaken the publishing of this year book. Need- less to say our class was well represented at the Social and we had hardly a single bachelor to grace the walls of the Chateau at the memorable school dance.

It ' s impossible — we are just simply It. We started 69 strong, and al - though a few have left our ranks we still have a select 52 ready to enter the realms of the upper classmen next year. Of course, we were a little timid at first, as all new- comers are, and our examinations last June were not taken under ordinary conditions in the least. It seems to us that a Junior or foolish Sophomore ought to have more heart than to send us way down the basement and bother the janitor for a left-handed monkey wrench, es- pecially when we are supposed to be on our good behavior and need every ounce of push we have for answering some of the professors ' questions. We got by just the same ; didn ' t we — yes, and we will have to admit that when your dean ' s stenographer first asked us to appear before H. W. for a personal interview we were a little, just a little scared, but now what freshie is not proud of the opportunity to walk with his head high in the air, through the office and into the little den beyond. This has been a very profitable year for us all and we are sure your brother students will overlook our rude- ness and overbearing ways and just consider that when you were in our position you acted little better. The more we go to school it seems, the less we know. But maybe, this is a case like the wise man. It is said of the wise man, He knows he knows not. We hope and sincerely wish that all other entering students will have as pleasant and profitable a first year as we have had. U e Cauldron, 191T OJlje (f[laHS of 1920 Atkinson, Sydney M.

The aim of this Society is to further the knowledge and interest of the students in the civil engineering course by presenting the practical side through the agency of men of considerable and varied experience. This has been done by inviting men, who are the first in their field, to give lectures, illustrated or otherwise, to the members of the Society. Some of the most interest- ing talks were given by Mr. C. L. Downey, of the New England Structural Steel Company and by Professor C. M. Spofford of the Massachusetts ' Institute of Tech- nology. Mr. Downey ' s talk dealt with structural steel from the time it left the furnace to the time when it was swung into position as a girder, or some portion of a building or bridge. Among some of his most vivid de- scriptions was that of the work of the engineers in foreign countries. He described how the engineers di- rected the native labor without a great deal of unneces- sary talk. Professor Spofford ' s talk dealt almost wholly with the ethical side of engineering. He pointed out very clearly to the members of the Society the neces- sity of doing things as they. should be done, although he did not state it in those exact words. The point which he seemed most anxious to drive home was that honesty and integrity are the best friends in business in the long Among other things the Society plans trips to plants and different points of interest to the members. One of the most enjoyable trips was the one to the plant of C. L. Berger Sons, manufacturers of surveying instru- ments and instruments of precision. Each month the Society holds a smoker or some form of entertainment. Another feature of the Society is the bowling team. This team promises to be one of the best bowling teams in the college.

Society of Northeastern Col- li L ' e S e was a new P r0 J ect started last fall by Assis- H tant Professor H. C. Mabbott and a few seniors. It followed quickly in the footsteps of the other two Societies, but went one step further ; it eliminated the freshmen from entering the Society, holding out a bait for the second year. The Society decided to ask Mr. H. W. Geromanos, the Dean, to speak to the members at the first meeting. His talk was extemporaneous, being a humorous account of a personal experience, which he had at his summer camp in Maine. The point, which he seemed most anxious to drive home, was that fellows should be able to get a grip on themselves when it became necessary to do it. Another speaker was Prof. George W. Swett of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who gave an illustrated lecture on the comparative warmth of cotton and woolen blankets. He stated in his lecture that after extensive research work. Professor Haven and he had found that a good grade cotton blanket held about ninety per cent of the warmth that a woolen blanket did. It is needless to state that in years to come the members of the Society will buy cotton blankets. The next lecture was given by Mr. William H. Per- kins of Walker Pratt Manufacturing Company of Watertown on the subject From Mine to Store. He traced the iron from the mine to the foundry, and thence on to the finished product. In his lecture he emphasized the efficiency of the handling and the transportation of the raw material. The members of the Society have taken many trips to several industrial plants, including the B. F. Sturtevant Co. of Hyde Park, the Metz Automobile Co. of Waltham, and the Walker Pratt Mfg. Co. of Watertown. At all the plants visited the members were treated in a most courteous manner, and at the same time received much valuable information. There are plans being put into effect whereby this Society may become affiliated with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The aim of the Society is to increase the knowledge of its members, and to train them in the part of presenting their ideas and arguments in a convincing manner. Toward this end, each alternate meeting is kept open for half-hour discussions of selected subjects by two members, followed by a general one. At the other meetings outside speakers, men of promi- nence in the profession, are invited to lecture on subjects selected from their own experience. Several meetings have been held this year, and have all been a great success. Some of the lectures given were the following : An illustrated lecture on Low Ten- sion Cable Testing, by Mr. Eben O. Smith ; a demon- strated lecture on the Construction and Operation of the Condit Company ' s Type A, Time Limit Relay, by Russell A. Preble ; another lecture was the one on High Potential Cable Testing, by Mr. H. C. Hamilton of the Edison Standardizing and Testing Laboratory. All the members of the Society have the privilege of becoming student members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and also the privilege of attending the meetings of the Boston Section.

It was also organ- ized with the end in view of obtaining the latest facts in chemistry from men who are best able to present these facts. Another object was to be able to obtain the latest periodicals and books pertaining to chemistry and chemi- cal engineering which might be of interest to the mem- bers of the Society. One of the main features of the Society is its monthly meetings. These meetings are held in either the social supper room or the parlors of the College. They are generally socials of one form or another, often a smoker, preceded by a lecture. However, the most important feature of the meeting is the speaker, who is most always an outside man of considerable importance. This is not always true, as sometimes some of the members are as- signed topics to discuss and investigate at length. The first given before the Society was on November 2. 1916, Fuels and Flue Gases, by Professor Gill of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He described in detail the different fuels and their varied uses and quali- ties, also the flue gases, their qualities, advantages, and disadvantages. The next lecture was given by Mr. Scott of the Arthur D. Little Co.. on Paper Making. This was followed by talks from two of the members at the next meeting, Mr. Fuwa and Mr. Herrick. the former giving the Relation of the Chemist to the Manufac- turer, and the latter giving Vocational Diseases. This was followed by a lecture by Dr. Wing of the Boston Consolidated Gas Company on Gas Products. At the next meeting Dr. Williams of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave a lecture on Alloys, illustrating it by means of lantern slides. He showed the structure of various alloys as they looked under the microscope, and also described the peculiarities of expansion and contrac- tion which certain metals possess. The last meeting was well attended, because of the fact that Dr. Spear is so well known to the members of the Society. His subject was Colloidal Chemistry. which he demonstrated with a photographic microscope and by means of experiment.

Although the idea is not a new one, yet it has been brought home more forcibly in the last few months. Scarcely a week has gone by without some inquiry as to where is so and so, and what is he doing, and can ' t we have a get-together and talk over old times. It has been sur- prising to see to what extent the follows have lost track of each other. Moreover the formation of an Association would be a decided advantage to the School. Say what you will, there is nothing that can be more of an advertisement, nothing that can spread the name of the School farther than an energetic and wide awake alumni. But to be wide awake and energetic, and to be up-to-date the grad- uates must be kept in touch with what is going on. The school paper is doing its part. An alumni association should do its part. To this end, a canvas has been made of former grad- uates and students and the following temporary officers have been selected to make plans for a permanent or- ganization. President — John R. Leighton, ' 14, 316 Huntington Avenue, Boston. Association Secretary — Fred E. Webber, ' 15, 15 Woodford St., Roxbury. Treasurer — Frank X. Slane, ' 14, 6 Sagamore St., Dorchester. Advisory Members — John Berquist, ' 16, 259 Mass- achusetts Avenue, Arlington; Everett N. Montague, ' 16, 17 Cottage St., Concord Junction, Mass. It is hoped that those who have not yet communicated with any of the above will do so at once. Send in sug- gestions ; let them know your ideas, for it is only by the hearty co-operation of all, that the Alumni Association can be made and will be made a success.

In dis- ' cussing the team it would be impossible to name any particular weak points ; the team as a whole was equally strong both on the defense and offense. How- ever, it might be well to explain why so many games were lost at the first of the season. In the first place all the opening games were played away from home, under conditions that were entirely unfamiliar to the men. Secondly, it was impossible to have all of the first string men together at any one time for practice games, as the team was made up of Division A and B men. Lastlv. the cancellation of the special gymnasium privileges at the end of the six weeks period was a serious handicap to Coach Ell, as he was left with only eight men who had access to the gymnasium. As a result of this it was impossible to form a second team for the regular men to work out against. However, when the season was about three-quarters over, Dean Geromanos succeeded in obtaining gym privileges for the entire student bodv at reduced rates. Coach Ell was then able to form a fairly formidable scrub team out of the men who availed themselves of this opportunity. The effect of the addition of this new material to the team can be judged by the results of the last four games of the season. Captain Clough proved to be a very capable leader of his men ; during the entire year he played an excep- tionally steady game. In caging free throws Clough was an expert, securing 36 out of 55 trys, or an average of 65 per cent, as against his opponent ' s 51 per cent. Martell put up a remarkably clever game at forward, considering the fact that he was never able to practice regularly with the other members of the team. His aggressiveness and pep were valuable assets. Knowl- ton was the best shot on the team ; during the entire season he shot thirty-five baskets. His defensive work was of the best. Harding, captain of last year ' s team, played a strong game at back, which position was entirely new to him until this year. Thomas was the mainstay of the back-field. His man always found it practically impossible to get the ball past him. The second strins men. Flood, Munt and Thompson, did good work through- out the entire year.

Ac- cording to custom, the school authorities conducted the annual social ; the remaining events, however, were car- ried out by different groups of the student body. The most important events that have taken place are : Annual Social. The Co-op. Dance. The Junior Prom. Field Day at Riverside. Annual ductal The annual social of the school was held in the gym- nasium on the evening of January 2, 1917. The program was started by the School Orchestra, which rendered several popular selections. Next a basket-ball game was played between Division A, dressed as fair Co-eds, and Division B, attired in clown ' s suits. In spite of their skirts, ribbons and other feminine apparel, the fair co- eds easily vancpuished the clowns by a score of — some- thing to something else (nobody knew what). Bobbie Black made a most charming young lady. He was at- tired in an extremely low cut gown and abbreviated skirt which showed him to the best advantage. Next on the program was another basket-ball game between Division C and the Varsity. After a stiff battle, the Varsity won, 21-2. Munt was the hero of the game. During the last minute of play he cleverly dribbled the ball the entire length of the floor and caged a basket for Division C, thus saving his team from a shut-out. The faculty sprung the surprise of the evening when they defeated the strong Senior basket-ball team, 16-8. The faculty were represented by such stars as Messrs. Ell. Leighton, and Odom. The instructors were attired in bright yellow jerseys. On the backs of the jerseys there were inscribed such symbols as 500,000 lbs. Con- crete, E IR, and Structural Stress 0. After the basket-ball game all adjourned to the na- torium. Here the various tank stunts were performed in such a ma nner as to keep everyone in a gale of laughter. The events were : Bronco Busting, Tub Race, Canoe Tug-of-War, Water Polo, Piggie Back, Wrestling, Canoe Filling Contest, Candle Race, and Monte Cristo Sack Dive. Between stunts the Seniors started a mustache race. At the crack of the pistol every man left the mark neck and neck. However, no one ever crossed the finish line, as all withdrew from the race after the first week. Miss Keegan was to act as judge. At the close of the natorium events, all made their way to the restaurant, where dainty refreshments were served. During the evening every Co-op wore a grotesque paper hat, which was inscribed with his respective class Ofte Olautturoti, 191 7 numerals. In all there were about two hundred students and friends present. The large number of ladies present helped to make the social one of the most enjoyable and successful that has ever been held by the school. Qftje $,a-ap lame The most successful informal dance that has ever been given under the School name was held at the Cha- teau, Huntington Ave., on the evening of February 7th, 1917. From eight until eight-thirty the Co-ops and their friends were presented to the patronesses, Mrs. H. W. Geromanos, Mrs. M. E. Pinkham, and Mrs. C. S. Ell. Promptly at eight-thirty the orchestra struck up a lively one-step, and in a few moments the floor was covered with a swirling throng of gay young people. At inter- mission delicious refreshments were served in the ban- quet hall. Following intermission, dancing was continued until midnight. The decorations, which consisted of a vari-colored scheme, were exceedingly pleasing and effective. The orders were small, dainty colored affairs, consisting of sixteen dances and four extras. Punch and light refresh- ments were available during the entire evening. The proceeds from the dance were turned over to the Athletic Association for the support of athletics. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of representatives from the Athletic Association, and the four Engineering Societies ; Karl M. Rich, Division B manager of the Athletic Association, was chairman of the committee. I WONDER WHY ©he (Eaulfcnm, 191T (Enbe nf Ethics Adopted by the Boston Society of Civil Engineers. The code is intended to establish certain general prin- ciples and rules of action for the members of the Society. I. Engineers should encourage sound engineering learn- ing and training in the scientific schools and in actual work. II. The success of engineers depends upon their moral character, scientific attainments, industry, integrity and business talent. Aggressive competition which often pre- vails in ordinary commercial transactions cannot exist among engineers without diminishing their usefulness and lowering the dignity and standing of the profession. III. The first duty of engineers is to their clients or em- ployers, who have a right to expect that the portion of their business entrusted to the engineer will receive care- ful investigation and intelligent treatment, and that any special information derived by the engineer during his employment, will be considered confidential. IV. Engineers in their professional relations should be governed by strict rules of honor and courtesy. Their conduct toward each other should be such as to secure mutual confidence and good will. ( r ) They should take no step with a view to divert to themselves the clients or work of other engineers. (b) If a client should desire to transfer his work to another engineer, it is his privilege to do so. but the engineer in charge should be given notice, with the reason for the same, of such change by the client, and the en- gineer to whom it is transferred should, before accept- ing the work, communicate with the engineer in charge, in order that there may be no bad feeling caused through misunderstanding. ( c ) All communications should be made through a responsible head, unless another has been designated to act for him. (rf) Services of an assistant to an engineer should not be secured without first communicating with the prin- cipal to ascertain if such action will interfere with his work. ( e ) An assistant should not accept employment with another engineer without first consulting his superior. ( ) A superior should not stand in the way of ad- vancement of a subordinate. (g) The criticism of another ' s work should be broad and generous. The success of one member brings credit to the profession, and the failure of one, discredit to the whole. (It) The attitude of superiors to subordinates should be that of helpfulness and encouragement. 102 Oflie GJaulbron. 191 7 The attitude of subordinates to superiors should be one of loyalty, free from captious criticism. The treatment of each by the other should be open and frank. (i) The engineer should be willing to assume his proper share of public work and render such assistance as is possible for the general good of the community. V.- Consultations should be encouraged in cases of doubt or unusual responsibility. The aim should be to give the client the advantage of collective skill. Discussions should be confidential. Consulting engineers should not say or do anything to impair the confidence in the regular en- gineer, unless it is apparent that he is wholly incompetent. VI. With the understanding and consent of their clients, engineers may beforehand place any value on their ser- vices deemed proper. Fees may be made upon a per diem, monthly or yearly basis, or as a fixed sum or upon a percentage basis. In addition a retainer may be charged. It is desirable that a definite agreement be made in advance as to the fee and the extent of the work to be done, so as to avoid subsequent misunderstanding. The period of time should be designated during which the agreed fees shall apply and beyond which an additional or modified charge may be made. VII. Engineers should promptly inform their clients of any business connections, interests or circumstances which might prevent them from giving an unprejudiced opin- ion. They should not receive commissions or any remu- neration other than their direct charges for services ren- dered their clients. In advertising, they should avoid, as far as possible, commercial methods. VIII. Engineers acting as experts in legal and other cases, in making reports and testifying, should not depart from the true statement of results based on sound engineering- principles. To base reports or testimony upon theories not so founded and thereby produce erroneous results, is highly unprofessional and brings discredit on the pro- fession, and upon the engineers guilty of such conduct. IX. The attitude of engineers toward contractors should be one of helpful co-operation and tactfulness, combined with just and firm criticism. They should assume a judi- cial attitude toward both parties to the contract. X. As the lines of distinction between the various branches of engineering are becoming less marked, an intimate relation between them should be encouraged.

Oct. 5. Johnny Leighton asked the class in Ap- plied Mechanics if a rod one and one half inches in diam- eter was a round or a square rod. Oct. 6. Joe Coolidge was seen to leave the build- ing with a heavily laden suit case. It was noticed that on the day before he had appeared at school minus a large portion of his hair.

Judge Badger presiding, to determine the ownership of two pairs of trousers. As each of the contestants are sharks at the course in Business Law, a warm suit is expected. Oct. 27. Rembrandt Hawes in geology recitation said that he had seen a sidewalk in Cambridge being raised up by a mushroom. You may have seen it, Rem- brandt, but tell us where you were before you saw that. It is a sure thing that it was some other town than Cam- bridge, as that place is dry as a bone. Oct. 28. Hudson discovers through Doctor Worman that he is related to Moses. It is well known that Hud- dy is a harp, but it was not known that he was a Tew ' s harp. Oct. 29. Max Cohen, the great ( ?) soloist of the Glee Club, sings The Rosary.

G[tH (Jaultan, 19 U treading lightly with hobnail shoes, one could but think of the wild animals in the Zoo as they pace back and forth in search of freedom. Nov. 6. Freshman Kenney made an appearance to- day with a crop of alfalfa under his nose that would rival Mr. Mabbotts or Herricks. It is queer how these fresh- men like to imitate the real men. Nov. 8. Kendall has returned to school after spend- ing last week on his honeymoon. Kendall and his wife saw much of the fighting in France ; in fact they saw it all twice and would have seen it the third time, but the usher made them go out, as he claimed they had had their ten cents ' worth. Nov. 9. W here did Zwisler get the upper story of a pair of pajamas that he is wearing in the Chem. Lab.? Nov. 10. Instructor Curley Thomas took a look out of the window to see what was the center of attrac- tion of his Applied class, and then he turned away blush- ing. Curiosity once killed a cat, Tommie. Nov. ' 11. Like a siren of the myths, Littlefield poured forth his sweet ( ? ' ) song on the morning breeze in room 352. And, like a hardened mariner of old, Mr. Pink- ham sailed forth from room 351 to the call of the siren; but the poor siren fell a victim of the mariner ' s sharp tongue, and the song was heard no more. Nov. 13. Mr. Mabbott got his feet tangled up with a large bottle of hypo., and turned the Chem. office into a swimming pool. He was floundering around, sputtering Thermo, until he caught sight of a brush, which was floating near by. He grabbed the brush, and with its aid managed to reach safety. After the brush had dried out, it looked exactly like his mustache. Nov. 14. Tracey made an appearance today in a badly beaten-up condition, with numerous pieces of court plaster on his face. There were many rumors about as to how he got beaten up. After conferring with an auth- ority, it was found out that Tracey has found the girl of his dreams and he was calling last night when her father returned. ' Nuf sed. Gfhe (Eautoron, 19 U Nov. 15.

Constantine is forced by the board of health to dispose of his pipe. So Conney sent it to the morgue, and then he walked into the ten-cent store and planked down ten pennies and got a pipe with a bowl the size of a bean pot. He also bought a mop and a can of Old Dutch Cleanser, so that he can scrub it out every week. Nov. 21. Everything was quiet as a boiler factory today at noon time, and as one sat eating his lunch he could hear above the din of gurgling soup, etc., the patter of Joe ' s number 10 ' s in the hallway as he marched with joy toward a quiet spot where he could rest his weary limbs and partake of the repast that he had his mind on all morning. But Joe ' s joy was suddenly turned to sor- row as the Thermos bottle slipped and crashed to the floor, with a noise like thunder. The pasteurized milk ran all over the floor, while poor Joe looked on and his thoughts of dinner fled. Then Joe pulled himself to- gether in all his sorrow and went bravely back to work minus a dinner. Nov. 22. Beanie Clapp pays a visit to Big Chief Whiskey Jordan and his tribe of savages at the reser- vation at Peabody. Nov. 23. Eckey lectures on why the price of string- beans has gone up. Nov. 24. Duckey Atkinson returned to school to- day. Duckey did not return to school earlier in the term as he had not decided which would be best : to spend the winter at Deer Island or at school. He said that Deer Island would be the cheaper, but if he went there he would get solitary confinement, and as he does not like that indoor sport he returned to school. Nov. 25. Ty Fuwa brought into school some sweet cider which had a very curious effect upon all who tackled it. Nov. 27. Curtis tried out his infernal machine in the Electric Lab. Doc. Young assisted, and two success- ful explosions were made. Nov. 28. Doc. Worman told Piper that he must not wiggle so much. Doc. did not know that Pipe is one of Billy Watson ' s chorus girls, and he was prac- tising. Nov. 29. A couple of Harps visit Billy Odom and try to sell him some cloth for a suit.

Dec. 20. Only a few Chem. men were able to show up today after last night ' s cider ( ?) party. Those that did show up were the few hardened warriors that came back in hopes of getting more. Dec. 21. Turner Harding appears with a black eye and a badly cut nose. Turner says that he was walking through the woods when a savage stick flew at him and inflicted the wound. If that was so, it is a sure bet that Turner had not been visiting Thompson ' s Spa. Later reports state that Turner went calling on his sweetheart and she took her accustomed place on Turner ' s knee. Now Turner had a sprained ankle as a result of a bas- ketball game, and he was unable to support her weight (250 lbs.), so she landed on the floor. Susie got peeved at that and doubled up her little hand and, smack ! Turner went down for the count. Never mind, Turner, the course of true love never runs smooth. Dec. 23. As furs are fashionable, Beanie Clapp is raising a mustache. Any tomcat has a right to be proud when he sees Beanie ' s, and then thinks of his own mustache. Dec. 27.

The banquet will be held in the largest place in town, Cy Per- kins ' barn. All the forty-nine inhabitants have accepted Doc ' s invitation, and a big time is expected. Jan. 2. Beanie Clapp has shaved it off! He went calling last night, and Edna ' s dog did not know him with the mustache, so Beanie went home, chopped it off, and then the pup let him pass the golden gate. Jan. 3. Lucey sends Louise a letter, and leaves his Note the Operator Ofhc OJaultott, 19ir gloves at the post office. Anyone finding a pair of long pink gloves, please return to Lucey. Jan. 4.

Jan. 20. Mr. Thomas appeared with his neck tied up. What ' s the trouble, Tommie, did its fibers reach their elastic limit in yesterday ' s big wind? Tax. 22. The Big 7 has a banquet at Lander ' s. Jan. 23. Bill Bowden arrived home at 2.30 this morn- ing and found that he had forgotten the key. Bill luck- ily found a window open and he crawled through it, got the key and went out the same window ; then unlocked the door and let himself in. It seems that Bill is getting absent-minded lately or else he is getting gay in his old age. Tan. 31. Turner Harding proclaims that he is the most perfect built man in the school. Feb. 2. At the B.U. game when Harding and Clough got into their basketball suits they did not know what to do with their fat pocketbooks, but upon thinking the mat- ter over it was decided to let Mr. Odom hold the gold. After the game the boys sought Mr. Odom, but he could not be found. Harding got angry at once and wanted to get a cop. Clough did not get mad but got sulky as he pictured himself counting the railroad ties between ajlje QJautonm, 19ir Boston and Medway. The excitement that Harding caused attracted his team-mates and they came to the the rescue of the Medway pair. Feb. 3. Mr. Odom returns the money and two fellows are in better spirits. Feb. 5. According to the bulletin board, W.I.B., Jr., has been captured. And he was such a piece loving fel- low, too. Feb. 6. The high cost of smoking has struck Big Tom.

I wonder why ? Feb. 9. Coop starts on a trip to Noo York. Look out for the gold ones, Coop. Feb. 10. Lucey has a new bag which is a combina- tion of a school bag and a vanity case. Lucey has with him at all times, safety pins, hair pins, cold cream, face powder, rouge, and a curling iron for that mustache. Feb. 13. N. S. Smith says, You fellows should not be afraid of war ; wear Paris garters, no metal can touch you. Feb. 14.

Mr. Coolidge returns, but with a tired look upon his face which the hard work that he had done in planning tests. Feb. 20. Nutting informs his classmates that steel is cooked cast iron. Why didn ' t you tell them how it was cooked? Should it be baked, fried, boiled, or stewed? Feb. 21. Mr. Odom was mistaken for John McCor- mic. We would like very much to hear him pull off the harmony stuff. Feb. 23. Mr. Mabbott delivers an illustrated lecture on hydraulics. Mr. Mabbott delivered his lecture to a large and intelligent audience, and began by showing pic- tures of men who are famous hydraulic engineers. Mr. Francis, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Hudson had their faces flashed on the screen. The first man is famous for his experiments and formula, the second for his problems, which get our goats, and the third for his speed and ac- curacy in the solving of the problems. Feb. 24. Stubby Dickson has given up eating at the Automat, as the food is so high that it is beyond him.

Mary Ann Hosmer writes Beatrice Fairfax a long letter. Mar. 3. Sandy McLeod purchases a new pair of kil- ties. Isn ' t the weather a little bit too chilly for them as yet, Sandy ? Mar. 5. Bill Bowden refused to go to the blackboard for Joe today, but after he was coaxed a bit Bill went and displayed a pair of the largest rubber boots that have ever been seen by a Co-op. Bill said that the snow was so deep in his town that he had to wear them and they would not take them in the check room as they did not have the space to store such monsters, so Bill had to wear them to classes. Mar. 6. Kendall digs himself out of the snow and re- turns after being snowbound for a day. Mar. 7. Elsie has her picture taken for The Caul- dron. An afternoon ' s job.

Hoot Mon McLeod appears all dolled up in a Dickey collar, one of those that the end men wear in a minstrel show. Mar. 12. Mr. Odom did not appear at school today as he had a bad cold which he caught Saturday night in the park. It is a sure sign that spring is here when the young man ' s fancy is turning, after its annual custom, to thoughts of love. Mar. 13. Travis joins the suffragettes because his girl did. Mar. 14. More signs of spring. Mr. Thomas is wearing flowers in his buttonhole again. Mar. 16. Porter has new duties assigned to him. Every time the fair young chauffeurs in the Auto School get noisy.

Mr. Ell. — You did it by main strength and awkward- ness. Mr. Leighton. — Use your bean. Mr. Thomas. — You get out. Mr. Pinkham. — Now, let ' s see. Mr. Mabbott. — You may use your slide rules and brains in this exam (if you have any). Mr. Coolidge. — All answers to five significant figures. Mr. Eldred. — After being asked a question, Now what do you think? Mr. Smith. — Now, gentlemen, at the close of the last exercise. Mr. Odom. — Can the chatter and get busy. § § § H. C. Mabbott to Big 7 : After an hour lecture on the Emerson Bomb in which he discusses politics, belt- slipping, turbines, and Malle Articulators, but says noth- ing whatsoever concerning the Emerson Bomb: In short the principle of the bomb is this : If there is no rise in temperature, the coal hasn ' t been fired ; if the tempera- ture rises, the coal has been burned. That is all there is to it. She ' s got the boys all guessing. From freshman up the scale ; A number tried to nail her But at that, the bunch all fail. You see her first with one lad. We ' ll say from Weston way ; And then she ' ll nail some prep, school-boy To kid along next day. She sure has got them worried. They don ' t know where they ' re at, You ought to see their happy smile When to her, they doff their hat. So, Elsie, just a minute. Before you pass this by. Please settle all their arguments And pick a steady guy. § § § As Seen By The Class of 1917 The faculty are a bunch of gentlemen hired to help the Seniors run the school. § § § In Analyt Mr. Pinkham — Now can someone give me an ex- ample of an imaginary sphereoid? Stude — Why, yes, sir, a rooster ' s egg. WE OFFER YOU A FRIEND The best impersonal friend a young man can have is —MONEY. And usually the only means he has of gaining that friend is by— SAVING. Saving is difficult, because money is scarce and is very slippery. It is hard to get it as far as the savings bank, but it is as easy as breathing to get it out and spend it — unless it is put there with a determined will to accomplish an object on which the heart is set. Here is a safe and sure way : While you are young, and the annual deposit is lowest, take a life insurance policy. Then you will save money year by year, be- cause you will make your deposits with the Company. And the moment you receive the policy you will possess an instantaneous estate, which you will pay for in in- stallments. If anything happens to you, the full amount of the policy will at once be paid, no matter how few the deposits you may have paid. But if you live, the full amount of the policy will be paid to you on a definite date if you desire. All the time you will be protecting somebody with the policy in case you should die, but if you live your savings will come back to you. Employers have high respect for the young man whose life is insured. Life insurance is the foundation of banking credit in hosts of cases, and makes a man successful in business. The time will come when you will need it for family reasons. It will cost you more THEN than it will now. Ask any man of forty whether or not a young man should take life insurance ! Then start your life right by buying while you are young and the rate is lowest. Save money, and possess the FRIEND that every man desires to gain, but that so often is missed because sought too late! Send name, address and date of birth, and an illus- tration adapted to your age will be mailed to you.

It thrives behind palms, in the shade of icebergs, at the Junior Prom., and in most any secluded spot throughout a wide range of temperature. When well cared for it attains a magnificent size and delicious flavor. It is something which a girl always looks forward to with ex- pectancy and receives with surprise. It goes without saying that Mr. Odom approved the report. § § § Mr. Mabbott says that a man ' s troubles are nine- tenths feminine gender. § § § Big fleas have little fleas Upon their backs to bite ' em, And little fleas have smaller fleas, So on, ad infinitum. — Ex. § § § Overheard in the College Barber Shop Co-op — Do you suppose you can cut my hair with- out making me look like an idiot ? Barber — It will be a pretty difficult thing to do, but 1 will try.

Freshman — A vacuum is a large empty space where the Pope lives. One day, in an Organic Chemistry lecture, Mr. Knee- land was asked the following question : If a horse can haul a ton of coal, how much can ethvl alcohol ? § § § We took sweet counsel together — Faculty meeting. Qfte (faitformt. 19ir From the Lhem. Lab. Try this on your piano : Potassium, iodine and sulfur, under slight pressure give an interesting result as follows : K + I + 2S = KISS This experiment may not result as above but instead, the reaction may be violent. Therefore, experiment should be attempted only in the absence of light, and when few (usually two) are present. § § § Mr. Pinkham, discussing link-work : Mr. Hawes, what do we consider as stationary ? Ty Fuwa: Pencil and paper. Whereupon Mr. Pinkham puts the multiplication ta- bles on the board to be copied. § § § [Ed ' s, note.] — Cohen handed in the following saying: Here is a good one that I sprung in class that you can use. Mr. Leighton. — Did you fellows ever have test pits. Co-op. — No, but we had plenty of tests. $ § § Otterson, the detective, finds out who pinched his soft hat and gets $3.00 for it. We can ' t all be bright. Mr. Coolidge — What is meant by a horse power? Freshie — Why, it ' s the distance one horse can carry a pound of water in an hour. Co-op — What is the darkest hour in a girl ' s life ? Elsie — When she wakes up to find that she has no match. Mr. Odom — It is a well-known fact that nature abhors a vacuum. Probably this accounts for so many solid bone heads. ERriODVnAMtcs: Qfhe (Jaultan, 191T She Qja-np Kestaurant— HJgr. iel 3.
