Editors of the Polywog, Dear Sire: For more than ten years I have found the Polywog alive to the interests of the Polytechnic, leaving no society, or class, or student body unnoticed. The illustrations of my past volunes recall nany an association that would otherwise be lost. The humor of the al- lusions has spared none, including faculty and students alike as legiti- mate objects of fun. Many a good laugh have I had in turning over the pages of the old volumes, and situations and incidents that once pro- N voked mirth have not lost their charm with time. I count many who have been upon the staff of your publication among my warmest personal friend It can fairly be said that with all the fun you have made its ,fa 6 gf and the laughs you have provoked, almost nothing has been said that could fig wound the feelings of any one, and that speaks volumes for the harmonious relations of students and faculty where all work together as men. with all possible good will to you and your Polywog, I am Very sincerely yours, 3.

If you have not been here long enough to re- alize that to become happy men and successful engineers re reading, thinking, and first-hand quires continual study, 4 knowledge of the details of your profession, then there is nothing I can say to convince you.

An impulse of regret, a feeling of reluc- tant happiness, speeds the farewell. We have spent a most pleasant four years among our friends, we have striven by united effort to make still more fair the name of the Polytechnicg we have toiled and sacrificed for the honor of our class, for the unchal- lenged glory of IQIZ. Wfe understand full well that our associations with our President, with our Faculty, and with our college- inatcs have contributed largely toward the making of what we areg we know that our debt can never he fully paid. Vifhen the future is upon us, when our early lives have become more and more remoteg when the last, sr-rilli-it-rl remnants of the vision have faded from view, may there ever linger a spark of devotion to our class- inzilcs, and to our Alma lVlate1'. 32 . f :NWN Georg.

Now fellers kindly listen, while this tale I do unfold, The words are rather awkward, the theme is very old, About a tramp that begged for bread, a Poly man no doubt, And always got the answer-HBUIVI, OUT I II. At night he'd lie down in the park, to try to get some rest, I-Iis sleep was always broken, but that you might have guessed, A cop would beat him on the dome, and he would say, Look out!', But he always got the answer-HBUIVI, OUT! III. ' He fooled Saint Peter,s gateman, and made his way to heaven, And then he honestly believed his sins had been forgiven, But some one told Saint Peter, and I haven't any doubt, For he got that same old answer-HBUIVI, OUT! SINGULAR SOLUTIQNS fFinite and Many-VaZued.D WOOLFSON I A Senior in good standing, had a flunk from Dr. Fay, I-Ie couldnst sleep at night, and he stewed around by day, I-Ie went up to the office, to turn things inside out, But he got that same old answer-UBUIVI, OUT! A JAQUAY L Jaquay is a country lad, from Chomo,', up the state, And when Prof. Berry,s marks came in, a zero was his fate, But when he tried to have them raised, there rose an awful shout, ' And an echo in the corridor said-HBUIVI, OUT! PHELAN , Now Pinkie and his HIVIurphy', have acquired a wondrous fame, And likewise his excuses, though they're just a trifle lame, Heid better not bluff Sammy, if he knows what he'-s about, Or he'll get the same old answer-HBUIVI, OUT! BEASLEY ' As Santa Claus on Christmas Day, Ed. Beasley did quite well, But when he kept them waiting the Hboysn got mad as hops, They Could not seem to find him, for the lights were very dim, Till Friar Bacon shouted-HBUM, IN! KAPLAN Now Sambo is a funny lad, he never takes a drink, And when you ask him what he wants, he has to stop to think. They took him into DufIy,s once, he acted like a lamb, And old man Duffy shouted out, I'Iere's Celery Tonic Sam!

MCCOOK ROGER FITZPATRICK BGSIECUDGII Baseball Track 39 Q istory of 1913 7 N the early autumn of 1909 there assembled at the Polytechnic with a roll of over fifty the largest , , 9 62 i , , entering class in the history of the Institute. The career of 1913 was thus started with the enthusiasm incident to large numbers. From the day of our 1n1t1al rope rush we have maintained that enthusiasm in class affairs, and have steadily striven to strengthen our organization. Cf the original fifty, many have been forced to drop out of our ranks, on the other hand, additions have come to us from various sources. Now, under the banner of '13 are enrolled some thirty-eight men. Throughout these changes in personnel, it has ever been our aim to increase the prestige of our class and of our college. No long review of our first two years is needed at this point, as previous annuals have covered that ground fully. Suffice it to say that we have won our full share of victories and honors, have suffered our share of defeats, and now can recall only pleasant memories of the many happy and profitable hours we havehspent as lower classmen. ' This fall, we returned with redoubled energy, to meet the problems and responsibilities of this, our Junior year. As in other years, we repaired to the Gym. for our first gathering. We went this time, however, not as awe-struck Freshmen to enter a contest about which we knew little, nor even as confident Soph-omores, eagerly waiting for the onset, but as mythically dignified Juniors to play the part of spectators, to compare this rush with our own, and best of all, to sic 'em on,', if by chance, the ardor of either side should cool. And truly, 'twas a grand fight-to watch. I , Shortly afterward, we held our election of officers, and the machinery of class organization was put in motion. As the Polywog Board and Junior Prom. Committee had been elected the previous spring, both were soon busily at work on their respective duties. It has been the aim of the Board to publish a noteworthy annual -a book which, in the days to come, 1913 men can look back upon with pride. We have made every effort to increase the size of the annual, to continue the best features of previous volumes, and to include as much 40 new and original matter as possible. In brief, these have been our ideals. To the kindly judgment of the reader is left the question of our success in achieving them. As Juniors, we have striven to continue our interest in every branch of student activities. Three men from 1913 have played on the 'Varsity basketball team during the season just closed, and others on the second team. In dramatics, We were represented this year, as in the past, in the cast of the play, and a Junior has held the presidency of the P. D. A. The Musical Clubs number among their members many of our class, the Engineer Board has its '13 man, and we are represented in the Mermaid Club. As Seniors, it will be our ambition to knit closer the bonds of friendship formed during our three years' career at the Polytechnic, to continue our active interest and support in student affairs, and to earn for 1913 an enviable place among the records of the classes of our Alma Mater. I In the broad sense, this book is a history of the college year, in the narrow sense, it is pecuiiarly the story of 1913. For this reason, if our boasts have Wearied you who read, We ask indulgence. In closing, it is the sincere wish of the class that every reader will find much of interest to him in these pages. 1 f W 7 'In ,fin 1111111 1111 41 Q iluniur lirnm HE Polytechnic's chief social event of mid-winter, the Junior Prom., under the auspices of l9l3, was held this year, on the evening of Thursday, February first. The Committee, at work from early fall, had promised great doings for that eveningg and posters had excited the interest of the student body. But the actual Prom. went far beyond the hopes of the most sanguine. Almost ninety couples attended this crowning event of the class's career. The room was comfortably filled, without being in the least overcrowdedg and a spirit of jollity and happiness pervaded the whole gathering. Indeed, the scene was one long to be remembered by those who were present. A The bare walls and- ceiling of the gymnasium were gone, hidden beneath a mass of yellow, white, and cream colored bunting. Softly contrasting with the lighter background, rose the central pillars of the Blue and Cray. Never before had the lines of the bare gym. been so completely lost as they were this yearg never before had the illumination been so complete. Hundreds of frosted bulbs added to the general attractiveness. ln clusters, in a circle around the balcony, in festoons swung from the center of the ceiling, and crowning all, the class numerals surrounded by a twinkling border of blue, the lights united to produce a rarely beautiful effect. The floor was in the best of condition, the music seemed a little better than ever before, the refreshments were excellent, and the cozy corners provided most popular places for those who did not care to dance. The dance orders, in the form of card cases of brown leather, embossed with the seal of the Institute, formed a most acceptable souvenir of this very enjoyable occasion. The patronesses, the majority of whom were present, added in n-o small measure to the success of the Prom., and to them the heartiest thanks of the class are due. The list included Mrs. F. W.

YOUNG 47 lass J islsoryp of '14 1911 'IZ has been an epoch making one for the Brooklyn Polytechnic, and for the I HE college year - . C1 s of 1914 The beginning of the year saw a general unrest and almost uncertainty as to the future of l 'L , ' . C 'd ' this fact, it is notable that although we lost severa mem- wlfmb Poly, and, therefore of 1914 ons1 ering hers of the class, these losses have been more than counterbalanced by the addition of new men. 4, The first great event of the year was the rope rushf' which took place a day later than usual, thereby giving the Freshmen a better opportunity to become acquainted. This aid was of no avail, however, as was also the fact that they had three men to every two of ours. That spirit of unified determination, which had been so character-9 istic of 1914 during its first year at the lnstitute, filled the heart of every man before the signal was given, and we felt that we either must win or all must die together. The natural result was that the Freshmen, although fighting hard, were defeated by a decided sc-ore. For some time after the urushf' there were only occasional interclass disturbances, for the Freshmen took their hazing meekly. Gut of modesty, we add that this was prob- ably an indication that they were trying to live up to college customs as established by the council. They certainly deserve great credit, for they succeeded admirably. 1 ' I The next formal clash after the rope rush,'1 was the Freshman-Sophomore wrestling, boxing, and cane spree, each event being divided, this year, into four weight classes. Again we are forced to admit that the sturdy Freshmen athletes, although doing their best, were no match for our men, they were, therefore, defeated by i 1 bl -their the decisive score of four to eight bouts. From that time on, the Freshmen gave us absolute y no trou e general attitude, as expressed by one of their number being, God bless the Sophomores, we cant. . , , D d just before Christmas the class held its annual banquet at Hickey s-a name redolent of many sweet an 1 F h tender memories, a name never to be forgotten by us and especially not by the Juniors, Besides severa res men, whom we had invited, we were glad to have with us Professor Cureen, and lVlr. Allen, the able coach of our class Basketball Team during our first year at the lnstitute. As everybody, both within and without, seemed 48 bent on entertaining us we certainly had a bang up time We blush to say that the Freshmen after our kindness in inviting some of them to our banquet not only failed to return the compliment but did not even mention the subject in our presence Of course this was very considerate of them but we wished they had not been such ticklers on etiquette for we regret to say that they had an excellent lttle banquet quiet and undisturbed At about the time of the I9l4 banquet the college was passing through a crucial stage The time limit for raising the Endowment Fund was the end of the year and as this approached a call was sent out for student solicitors Of all the work of the class during the year there was nothing of such great moment as that done by those who undertook this responsibility for in the final analysis the work done by these men together with those of other classes not only secured the Endowment Fund but assured the Institute s future the Greater Polytechnic Cur only regret is that a few of the solicitors from our class because of the time spent in this work and possibly for various other reasons were duly elected members of the club Limited space permits of but a synopsis of the remaining events and a few statist cs Gur class ba ketball team repeated its perfect record of last year, winning all the interclass basketball games and so retaining the cham- pionship Besides the interclass games, it played and defeated the Teachers' Training School Of all the games, the greatest interest was shown in that between the Freshmen and Sophomores, 1n which our team, after a hard fight, rolled up a heavy score against its opponents V It IS also interesting to note that the cla-s had two men on the 'Varsity Basketball, and five on the Second Basketball squads, in addition to several track representatives During the year we have had many men in the various organizations of the college, such as the Musical Clubs, High School Clubs, and the Engineering Socie- ties, and one of our number is a member of the Mermaid Club. Besides this, four men were in the cast of the Poly Play, and the splendid work these did proves that in acting, as in all other branches of college life, 1914 has displayed real talent. In closing, we may say, that as a class and individually, we are doing our utmost to be a help and strength to the Polytechnic, hoping thereby' to repay in part the great gift we are receiving from her. 49 lass of 1914 FREDERICK M GODDARD CID K -If Electrical Engineering.

But the color commenced to change , Q , when, after a lively scrimmage on the second afternoon of our coming, we emerged from the rope rushn defeated, dirty, and tired, but happy and unbeaten in spirit, knowing each other better and filled with respect for our congenial enemies. In those first days of our college life, class spirit we had none, unity we lacked entirely. Qur first meeting was a frost, but we managed, amidst a shower of missiles and broken plate glass, to elect a president who has been true-blue in every way. It is an acknowledged fact that this gathering would have lfeen very different had it not been-well, Seniors never can keep a secret! ' Qur Sophomore brothers were gentle at all times. The question of ucapsn was a small matter. The state- ment made by one of our number, that his felt hat should be immediately returned to him Hon my honor, as a gentleman! met with instant and hearty approbation. Further, we realize that the subway stairs felt rather hard to one of the would-be hat collectors! i It was on the evening of Qctober twenty-seventh, however, that we won our first grand coup. With the muffled thunder of the surf in our ears, and with Professor Berry's splendid seconding as toastmaster, we held our banquet undisturbed, while the Sophomores slumbered peacefully, unaware. Never before in the annals of the Polytechnic has such a thing been accomplished. A Shortly after this signal success, fl-4 held a smoker in the Library-in every way a highly enjoyable affair. There were one or two Freshmen fortunate enough to fe guests and, according to them, masquerading is not such a disagreeable pastime as it might seem, especially when the audience happens to be of the feminine variety. Qur Sophomore friends were also very affable tous at the time of their banquet. If we recall the incident cor- rectly, there were a few of us present at that delightful little tea-party on the Wednesday before Christmas. There seemed to be a spirit of perversity among our fellows all that day. In the first place, three of them 53 took a sudden frenzied liking to each other's clothes and would not rest content 'till they had changed garments. This, in itself, was a strange performance, but when that afternoon, several Freshmen showed signs of nervousness arding the cleanliness of the boiler and engine rooms, and insisted upon giving them a thorough overhauling, reg we were nearly overcome with amazement. But the tea that evening for was it cojeeill was really delicious! ' ' ' ' I l l d lar ely of raw material we made a very creditable showing ln the nterc ass For a c ass compose g , G s. The cane spreen worsted us, but in boxing and wrestling, we did well. Although much credit is ame due our middleweight boxer for his handy manipulation of the gloves, our malnstays of success were our three I b k tball we were fortunate in having a team which trimmed the Hlightweightsf, They won in each event. n as e staid Seniors, whipped the thoughtful Juniors, but was itself beaten by the incorrigibles-our brothers next in rank. We predict with the utmost confidence, however, that the Sophomores of next year will worst the Juniors at least one hundred to nothing. lf, at the beginning of our rst semes er, 1 w , stated now. lf, last September, it was said that we lacked school spirit, it must not be said now. For, as a class, we have done things. We have given our support to all the school activities. We were ln the play, we ent Fund. We belong to the Glee Club, and the engineer- Ii t 't as said that we lacked class spirit it can not be truthfully were at the Prom, we helped to raise the Endowm ing societies. Many of our men have become fraternity members. We have met our work fairly and squarelyg i i 0 i h h ss- we have passed our examinations with credit, we have done our best to help the college throug anot er succe ful season, the college which has become so dear to us, which will always hold first place in our hearts as the scene of our happiest hours. Q And just here, when our first year is drawing near its close, we desire to express to those who were here before we came, to our fellows in labor who have worked with us, to our Professors who have shown us the way, our deep and sincere appreciation of their good faith and ready friendship, which, we hope, may remain with us for many a year to come. 54 ---W Y- - -YV--Y - -W V.-7 --Y -Y--7- --M -- - --- -W V -- f- - -1,-, v -14-f-fr- , -,, ,- ',,, ,,-1, ,, ,V ,,,, Y, -- , ,,, , , , , 'I 1 1 1 I 1 f , , . l lass Of 1915 CHRISTIAN S.

Q istory of the ocicty 1911-1912 C9 N looking over the records of the present college year, our attention is attracted by the evidence of marked A . progress toward the high ideals ever before us. Through the years, the society has gradually grown in importance and now is second to none. Our aims and ambitions have also become enlarged and amplified in their pursuit, our society has flourished. I We have endeavored to increase the interest in the study of Chemistry among all whom we could reach, to get in touch with the problems of the outside world through Hbign men in chemical industry, and through excur- sions to representative plants where much of technical interest was being doneg to bring professors and students into a more intimate relationship, and to bring together kindred spirits with the same interests at heart, believing that all would profit by such intercourse. High ideals are a great step toward success but without works they are like a watch in the same condi- tion. 0 fa . . . . . . . ur o cers acting with these aims in mind have piloted our society most successfully and have done their full share of the work, proving to the society the wisdom of its choice. The various committees p y e appreciation which has accompanied their efforts. The Paper Committee has furnished us with a most interesting and valuable collec- tion of papers. We have been honored by men of no little fame who have complimented the society by their presence and whose talks have been most illuminating. Qur alumni have showed their continued interest by at- tending our meetings in large numbers and by offering papers which they felt would be of inte t t h ' res o t e society. Together with these more advanced papers we have had papers by students from all the present classes i th . n e Institute. Thus we see that it is through the interest and kindness of all, that the Paper Committee has been able t . . . o give us such a good program. It is largely due to their efforts that our meetings have been so well attended. Un several ' h b ' ' ' i occasions we ave een Without sufficient chairs and have been forced to sit on the t have gone to work with a will and have been re aid b th ables. 65 The Social Committee has been on the jobn and has furnished us with a most varied menu. They no longer work in mysterious ways their wonders to performf, for their chairman presented their methods of pre- paring Hgrubn in a paper at one of our meetings. The success of their work this year is undoubtedly due to the fact that they have had a Hsheffn to help prepare the Heatsf, Much interest has been displayed in excursions and the attendance this year has been better than' ever before. Realizing the real benefit to be derived by seeing big plants in operation, our members have endeavored to be present on all such occasions and have turned out on our monthly trips with great enthusiasm. It has been deemed advisable by the committee this year to limit the number of such trips and only go to those places where the most could be learned. As a result the number of excursions has been small, but the list comprises plants carefuily picked as being representative of large industries. C The successes of the year culminate in the society banquet. This great annual event is the fitting Huis of the year,s endeavors and every effort has been made to make May IS, l9l2, a date long to be remembered by the society. The guest of honor will be Dr. A. I-I. Elliott, consulting chemist of the Consolidated Cias Com- pany. Every one present will feel more than repaid for the effort to be on hand. Now, when the society passes into new hands, we urge that the present members, when alumni, will con- tinue this support and that the new members will ever keep their eyes upon the highest of ideals, for by so doing their success will far surpass their expectations, and they will add greatly to the fame of the Polytechnic Chemical Society. . , rf- gf 4?

Cin lVlarch 9, I908, It became affiliated with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and from then on its history has been one of steady progress. During the past year it has planned for addresses at its monthly meetings by men prominent in the engineering profession and has arranged excursions to points of interest to its members. Two joint meetings with the Stevens' Engineering Society have also been held, one in Brooklyn, and one in I-loboken. Good attendance has marked every occasion, and the society can look back on the past year with entire satisfaction. 67 +5 . 173' Saturday, March 30, l9l2-Speaker: Dr. Edward A.

Probably due to the fact that the subjects discussed by the lecturers were topics of a somewhat general nature, the attendance and the interest shown at the meetings has been remarkably encouraging to the lec- turers, all of whom felt, at the end of their discourses, that they had been greatly appreciated. Many of the subjects lectured upon during the season were on engineering problems at present being worked out, or on structures now being erected. Thus there was a series of three very interesting talks on the Catskill dams and aqueducts by engineers of the Board of Water Supply of the City of New York, and another showing the difficulties involved in the construction of the new New York Central terminal. The lecture on the survey of the East River Tunnels was perhaps the best attended of the series, and shows that a great increase in the audiences is possible, especially among the Sophomores and Freshmen. We wish them, and others, to remember that they are always welcome and that these lectures are of value to them since The man who did it is the man who knows how.', lj , -.fl x -7 - :L 73 X 1 2 L 1 xx x 65' fx M lllllll' -. ,-rn., ,flfifn 6,40 9' JOLLY EX W olytechnic usical lubs HE musical clubs, at their first meeting in November, elected as the manager for the year Harold R. , I Cochran, ,l4. In a few weeks some twenty-five men were regularly rehearsing new music. The rehear- sals were kept up throughout the first semester, but, sad to relate, no engagements were made. When the second semester opened, new life was put into the clubs by the prospect of the Annual Home Concert, nearing rapidly. The manager was assisted by lrving M. Hayward, 'l4, in the Glee Club, and Fred W. lVloe, '14, in the Mandolin Club. Early in the second semester, Harold R. Cochran, 'l4, withdrew as active manager of the clubs, his place being taken by Morgan L. WoodruH, 'IZ, who retired from the assistant managership. Un Friday evening, April 26th, the Glee Club rendered several selections at the entertainment for the High School Graduates. The efforts of the Club were very well received. At the close of the entertainment, the Alma Mater was sung as never before. Everyone joined in with the most evident enthusiasm. On Wednesday evening, May lst, the Musical Clubs gave their annual Home Concert in the Prep. chapel. The program was an excellent one, and included solo numbers by our former soloist, lVlr. Brierley.

The play, Hxlanef' having been chosen, work was begun. The cast was selected, and, under the direction of Mr. Deane Pratt, rehearsals were ' soon under way. Cn Saturday, December 30th, the photographs of the cast were taken at Arnold's Studio. The actors, of course, caused much amusement as they came forth to pose. The evening of February seventeenth soon arrived, and the Opera House of the Academy of Music began to fill with people. The audience was besieged by Programme Girlsf, who endeavored to sell the programmes con- taining the usual information, together with the pictures of all the players and officers. The young ladies, who so willingly served on the Committee, certainly did all that was expected of them, and they deserve great thanks on behalf of the Association. The audience was quieted by the strains of the orchestra, and the curtain rose on the scene of Charles Shackletonfs Bachelor quarters in London. i Charles was left an heir by the will of his aunt. The money, however, is paid to him in instalments by his guardian, the condition being that he shall receive one-fifth of his legacy each year after he marries. Charles has obtained money from the guardian by pretending to be married. His extravagance has aroused suspicion in his guardian, who visits Charles on the day the play opens. Charles, in order to protect himself and hide the evidence of his deceit, has blamed his mythical wife for the debts he has contracted. Jane, who is his housemaid, and who, without Charles' knowledge, has just been married to William, the butler, agrees to play the part of Charles' wife during the visit of the guardian. The jealousy of William leads to trouble. Charles adds to the general confusion by speaking of his child, which the guardian insists upon seeing. A child is borrowed, and all goes well until the child's mother unexpectedly comes for it. The whole truth is revealed to the guardiang and Charles is once again restored to his peace of mind and his legacy by promising to marry his former sweetheart, Lucy Norton.

There is a certain type of organization the success and continuance of which depends upon the establishment of a tradition. Without it, neither age nor wealth is of any avail, with it, I , M we both are wellnigh superfluous. lndefinite, intangible, elusive as that subtle thing that painters o Q 9 call atmosphere, it is, nevertheless, for them, the supreme reality--the pearl of great price -to be carefully guarded and handed down from generation to generation. The Mermaid Club, which has just completed the eighth year of its existence, is characterized by the pos- Q session of such a tradition. No one who, either as member or guest, has sat in the charmed circle about the great fireplace of the Spicer Library, with no other light than that shed by the leaping fire, and has listened to the words of Tennyson or Kipling, of Emerson or of Poe, read to an accompani- ment of roaring flames and crackling logs, can have failed to feel the potency of its spell, the gracious enchant- ment which year after year draws back the older graduates to sit about the familiar hearthstone, to meet with the academic generations which have come after them, and to unite with them in loyalty and devotion to the Club and to their common mother. 88 !

Not the least valuable part of such study is the informal discussion which follows the reading, of which it might almost be said, Hhumani nil alienum estf, Thus far during the season of l9I I-IZ, the Club has devoted its attention to the plays of Moliere, reading Le Tartuffe, Les Femmes Savantes, Le kMalade lmaginaire and Les Precieuses Ridicules, and to the essays of Emerson, particularly those on Friendship, Love, and the Over-soul. During the year three meetings of special interest and importance have been held-a smoker for members and their friends at which over forty people were present, a meeting at which Mr. Cromwell Childe, '84, of the Brooklyn Eagle was the guest of the Club and spoke on the Commercial Side of Literature, and Original Night. When the Mermaid Club was founded, it was with the idea that its members should not only make a study of literature, but that they should, from time to time, attempt to do original work. At first the results of such effort were presented to the Club for criticism at any regular meeting, but since 1909 the first meeting after the Christmas recess has been set apart as an occasion on which each member is supposed to contribute something toward the literary program. Cn that evening there are no guests. The Mermaids have always laid great emphasis on the social side of life, and on several occasions have been hosts to a large company of friends. Three dramatic performances have been given in the Preparatory School chapel: Nine Points of the Law, June l l, 1907, The Kleptomaniacs, June I5, 1909, Cut Off with a Shilling, Bills, May IZ, 191 l 3 the last named being followed by a dance in the Gymnasium. The entertainment for 1910 was a dance held at the Pouch on April 20. An innovation of the past season was the custom of inviting under- graduates, not members, as guests at regular meetings. Ever since 1905 the Club has held an annual dinner just before Commencement, thus closing the year with a feast of good-fellowship-not inappropriate when we recall the jolly blades and jocund revellers who composed the first Mermaid Club. 90 BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL CLUB OROANIZED APRIL 3, 1909 QDfficzr5 MONROE G.

A. 94 he ouncil VERY well-organized body of individuals has a representative governing board to discuss and regulate mate .H .1 ters of vital interest to the larger body which it represents. The nation and the state each has its congress, every club, every school, every church, has its own representative board serving as an adjunct to the facile execution of the desires of the organization. Greater results are usually attained by such a board or body of trustees than could be accomplished readily by a congregation of the larger number of men for which it stands. Thus the Council fills a most important place in the student activities of the Polytechnic Institute. It is the students forum and tribunal. It is a cement which binds the classes, the organizations, and the students. Not having been long utilized at Poly, however, its reputation is just being established, and, as with any new cement in the commercial world, this element of union, known as the Council, is undergoing many crucial tests to determine its constructive value. The following properties are being constantly examined: value, thorough- ness, fineness, soundness, composition, activity, and strength fa la Bakerl. May the Council successfully undergo this series of tests! Through the efforts of Robert Coit Meleney, last year's president, together with several enthusiastic and spirited members of the class of 191 l, the Council was given its initial set. To foster college spirit and customs, to uphold the fair name of the Institute, and to unite the student body and thus enable a more intelligent and effective cooperation with all interests striving for the advancement of this Institute are the aims of the Council. During the first two years much time has been spent in perfecting a constitution. In addition, such matters as a hand book, class day, calendar regulations, the use of the term Polytechnic lnstituten by the men in the Prep., advertising of school, and the use of the Gym. are a few of the topics receiving serious, unbiased discussion. Student cooperation with the faculty has been effected, conflicts, adjusted, student Hkicksf' given attention, support of college and undertakings, encouraged, cutting before holidays discountenanced, hazing, abolished, and rivalry between classes, organized. i 95 1 To the unitiated, the Council probably seems to be a regulator of student activities merely at the time of pre-holiday frolics. It is true that each year, it has successfully carried on the annual rope rush, the Freshman- Sophomore Cane Spree and Wrestling Bouts at Thanksgiving, the Parade at Christmas, the interclass basket- ball series, and the Spring celebration, but, in addition to the execution of these lively interests for bringing the students in closer touch with each other, there has been much work done, which has strengthened college activities and our Alma Mater. Much personal work has been done by the active members of the Council to perfect conditions in the school. The financial standing of the organizations as well as the regulation of finances has been discussed. In the endeavor to aid the Junior Class and to have a Prom. worthy of our school, the loyal support of each class to the extent of twenty-live dollars was pledged. ln the great and worthy move- ment for an endowment fund, the Council took an active interest and tried to arouse in the men of the school the proper spirit. During the two years of the Council,s infancy from which it is soon to emerge, there has been always a personal endeavor among the true and loyal members to uplift the spirit of the school and to have in Brooklyn the best school of engineering and chemistry in the country!

YEAR has passed since the inception of the Evening Students Association. As we look back and review ? ' the work accomplished by this society we fInd reason for a feeling of profound satisfaction. Alma Mater has cause to congratulate herself for having sanctioned, fostered, and encouraged the Association of the Evening Students. For between herself and this student body she has rivited a bond of enduring affection and reverence. , Qur hopes and aspirations, judged bythose rightly to be entertained by a young organization, have been 1' more than fully realized. ' If I e The object of the organization' remains the same as ever: To obtain for each and every evening student, at Poly, the privileges which he should enjoyg to instil the feeling of a democratic home and a presiding Alma Mater, to arrange social functions, and to provide lectures on topics of interest and value related to the courses pursued. I l fl ,I Actions speak louder than words, and how far we 'will succeed in the future can best be judged by how .I much we have accomplished, in so short a time, in the past. We note with satisfaction that through the efforts of our Committee the privilege of using the Spicer Memorial Library fa privilege formerly-accorded only to day students? was granted to us late last session. Now I we see many an evening student poring over the books of this valuable library. IZI 1 E J. q,l Thanks to the persistent efforts and perseverance of our Gym. Committee, Mr. Conant, chairman, we now possess the privilege of using the Gymnasium every Tuesday evening from 6 to 9.30 P. lVl. We assure the faculty of the sincere thanks of the evening student body and hope that this privilege will be further extended. A movement in which the E. S. A. took a considerable and praiseworthy part was the raising of the Endow- ment ljund. When the Board of Trustees saw that the current expenses greatly exceeded the income, they decided to establish the college on a firm and independent basis, for this purpose they subscribed EB520,000 and appealed, to the public to raise this sum to SSOODUU. Through the untiring efforts of our worthy faculty and the Student Body fthe E.. S. A.. took a prominent partjt, this great task was finally accomplishedg and the sun rose one morning to find our Alma lVlater established on a firm financial foundation. At the regular meetings, which are held once a month, there is the usual order of business, after which the welfare of the school and the evening students is discussed generally. Since the publication of the former Polyrvog, many technical papers have been drawn up and read by our evening students, and prominent engineers have honored us with lectures explaining the various constructions The Advisory Committee has rendered many suggestions. Some of them have been adopted and others are under consideration by the E. S. A. The Entertainment Committee is putting forth its best efforts to arrange a Smoker, and judging by the result on the night of April l7th, succeeded admirably. The Athletic Committee is continually grumbling for more work. Not satisfied with taking splendid care of the Gym. one night during the week, they trust that the evening student body will prove to the faculty the need for a further extension of the privilege by utilizing the Ciym. The Lecture Committee is again active, and, in response to the desires of the members, is beginning to invite prominent engineers to deliver lectures on technical subjects. It may therefore be expected that a series of lectures will be given, as interesting and valuable as were formerly heard. and engineering activities now being undertaken by the city. l22 Y- . '1- . F gil' . , ,. 4 54 J 6 f In spite of its success, the Membership Committee still feels that so long as there is one evening student out- side the Association, it has failed to accomplish its aim. It is therefore at present very active in trying to induce every man to join. We trust that the efforts of the Committee will not he Wasted upon the desert airg and that the power for good which this organization possesses Will he in itself an inducement for every student to enter. It musthe recognized that our faculty, in fostering and encouraging our organization, have made it possible for us to forget, for a short time at least, all mercenary aims and join in making life somewhat brighter and happier.

The second half started with a rush, and Poly cutdown some of thellead of their opponents, but could not quite overcome it, and when the final whistle blew, the score stood in St. Johns' favor, Z9 to 22. The same week, December 9, Poly journeyed to Princeton,'but met their second defeat of the season.

Seven of the fifteen members are doctors of philosophy, which is a large proportion for a school of technology. Significant of their standing in the scientific world, is the fact that the names of about two-thirds of our staff of engineering professors are listed in Professor Cattellls recent publication, Mlqhe American Men of Sciencef, Professor Cattell gives a general list of 4,00-0 names, from these he selects H000 of particular eminence, and, further, he chooses from this second list l5O, because of their exceptional rating as physicists. The Polytechnic Faculty is rep- resented in each of these groups, as follows: ln the general list are Dr. lrving W. Fay, professor of Chem- istry, Dr. Jonathan B. Chittenden, professor of Mathe- matics, William D. Ennis, professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Willgiam Berry, assistant profes- sor of Mathematics. lncluded in the list of 1,000 are Dr. Samuel Sheldon, professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering, and Dr. John C. Qlsen, pro- fessor of Analytical Chemistry. Dr. Samuel Sheldon is also listed in the group of l,50 eminent physicists. The Polytechnic is further represented in the general list as follows: Dr. William I-I. Nichols, president of the board of trustees, Dr. Rossiter W. Raymond, member of the board, and George C. Whipple, con- sulting professor of sanitary and industrial water supply. -1 9 1 3 - Although the Freshmen lost the rope-rush by a large margin, they were not all disheartened. In the other contests between their class and the Sophs which fol- lowed, they showed a remarkable improvement. They came out even in the boxing and the wrestling matches and barely lost the cane spree. l-lad it not been for the aggressiveness of the husky Sophomore, Conroy, who was the only man to participate in all three clashes, the Freshmen would have won the series. -1 91 3 - Dr. Erich I-lausman was the proud recipient of numerous congratulations tendered by his friends in the Institute on his marriage to Miss Augusta C. Kohl- haas of this city, last November. Mr. Ernest Streu- bel was best man, and acted his part to perfection. -1913- - By the way, being best mann is becoming a very monotonous experience to the former co-partner of Erich. l-le has thrice served in this capacity, each time, with the resolution that at the next nuptial cere- mony he attended he would himself assume the leading masculine role. COLLEGE. NOTES, The Polytechnic is no more! V 1 ' The noticeiof the discontinuance of this publication was somewhat of a shock' to us. No one fully realized that conditions were so serious as to compel our college monthly to pass out of existence. The editors, who included some of the best literary students in this in- stitution, were certainly not to blame -for these condi- tions. As a matter of fact the first issue for this sem- ester had been prepared for the press before the death- warrant was signed. 'Then what was the reason? Simply lack of support! But perhaps there is some justification for this. That the same conditions are prevalent in other technical institutions is evinced by the fact that only a very small number of such schools publish any literary magazine. The average technical student, whose vocabulary has been impregnated with scientific terms, has very little use for any literature that does not consist of plain facts, plainly stated. As an illustration we refer to the Hpolytechnic Engineer, the circulation of which is an excellent indication of the popular demand. A -1913- That we were more than pleased to have Dr. Chandler with us once again at our Christmas exercises was proved by the burst of applause with which he was E-fgreeted. We sincerely appreciate his visit, and hope for a much longer stay next time. Cur only regret is that he can not favor us with his presence more often. J -1913- 1 The Engine Room --1913- f Prof. Peotter resigned his position last year to take charge of the installation of a million-dollar power plant in Tennessee. Mr. Ramser, former instructor in L Qs Civil Engineering, -accompanied him. if COLLEGE The last issue of the Hpolytechnic Engineer was even a greater success than its predecessor, not only financially but also in regard to the large amount of scientific articles submitted. It was the subject of much favorable notice by many of the leading engi- neering publicationsg and, needless to say, the demand exceeded the supply. We congratulate the editors, lVlessrs. Lee, Woolfson, and Qxley, on their efforts and on their good fortune in obtaining such interesting con- tributions. They should be proud of the fine reputa- tion the HEngineer has created. The Institute is more than fortunate in having so creditable a representative among the various technical publications. -1913- By the will of the late Walter E. Duryea, the Poly- technic lnstitute is bequeathed the sum of 515,000 for the maintenance of three full scholarships to be known as The Walter E. Duryea Scholarships. Preference in the awarding of two of them is to be given to the graduates of the High School of Glen Cove. An additional sum of 555,000 is given to be applied to general purposes. By the will, a trust fund of 330,000 is created, one-tenth of which goes to the Polytechnic at the death of a certain beneficiary. - 140 NOTES Among the many noteworthy achievements during the past year of the students at Poly was the construc- tion of an automobile by Bert Worthen, 'lZ. The machine was favorably commented on by several of the local papers. Bert must certainly like the work, for he contemplates the building of a second machine. ' -1913- No less conspicuous is our class-president, John Godson, who has just completed plans for an automo- bile of his own design. Judging from HGoddy's work in the past, we are not only certain of his success in this undertaking, but also of that promised ride which is due next term. -1913- The record of the basketball team this year was a good one. Especially in its home games was the team very successful. Games were played with some of the strongest collegiate fives in the East, with very credi- table results. Two members will be lost this year by graduation, but with so strong a nucleus remaining, and with the promising material on hand, we have the fondest expectations for an even more successful season next year. ' s COLLEGE NOTES A dinner was held in the banquet hall of the Brook lyn Academy of Music on March the second to cele brate the completion of the Endowment Fund of 5800 000 All those connected with the Polytechnic were invited The dinner itself was a great success and speeches on the occasion brought enthusiasm to the highest pitch Among those who spokewere President Atkinson, Dr. W. H. Nichols, and the l-Ion. Seth Low. The topic of President Atkinson,s address was The Raising of the Endowment Fund. I-lon. Seth Low gave some reminiscences of the earlier days of the Institute, and Dr. Nichols spoke on The Future of the Polytechnicf, -1913- ' I Harry Maine, ,l3, has been elected captain of the basketball team for 1913, and John I-lusing, ,l3, was the loyalty shown by those connected with the Institute The gift of SI 000 to the fund by the cla of l9lZ was one of the many instances of self sacrifice shown in this case by the students manager. In our estimation, a better and more popu- lar combination could not have been selected. iWith the future of the team in such capable hands, we merely smile in our gleeful anticipation of what such excellent prospects will produce. We await an un- precedented record for the team. A -1913- If there was anything which greatly helped to make possible the completion of the Endowment Fund, it Electrical Lab. A --19'l3- The January and February numbers of the Scientific American contained a series of articles on The Prop- erties of Selenium and their Applications in Electro- technics,', by Dr. Erich I-lausman. E COLLEGE Cur Profs. have had another busy year in the pub- lishing line. Their books, the majority of which have an international reputation, are eagerly sought for wherever real technical finspiration is needed, and any commendation on our part would be inadequate to express fully what others think of them. But in a sense of pride, inspired by supreme confidence, all we will say is, that they can't be beatn for educational value. Some of their very latest works are ufjlate Girder Designf' HDeflections and Statically lndeterminate Stresses, by Prof. Hudson, HFlying Machines To- dayf' Works Managementf, HVapors for Heat En- gines, by Prof. Ennis, HElectric Traction and Trans- mission Engineeringf' by Dr. Sheldon and Dr. Hausman, Pure Foods and Aduliterationsf' by Dr. Olsen, '5Differential and Integral Calculusf, by Dr. Chittenden, 'sprinciples of Parallel Projecting-Line Drawingf' 6'Theory of Engineering Drawingf' by Mr. Adler. --191 3 -- Dr. Cllsen, secretary of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, has justcompleted the third vol- ume of his transactions of that organization. NOTES High School Night, under the auspices of the Boys' High, Erasmus Hall, and Manual Training High School Clubs brought many prospective high school graduates with a leaning toward engineering to the Institute, on Friday, April the twenty-sixth. The affair was indeed a pronounced success, serving as it did to acquaint the high school student with the many advantages to be gained by pursuing a course in engi- neering at the Polytechnic. Prior to the entertainment, the buildings and labora- tories were opened for inspection. Many were the practical and interesting things shown, as, for example, the vapor spectral lines of the mercury lamp, an ozo- nator, by which the air in a room can be purified in a very few minutes, and a railway speed-testing, set, designed by former students of Poly. Dr. Olsen presided during the entertainment, and all the numbers on the programme were greatly enjoyed. Dr. Sheldon,s address on Technical Professionsn proved especially interesting. He pointed out the breadth of the engineering field and the great oppor- tunities offered to a student studying engineering in Brooklyn, with its great and rapidly increasing indus- tries. While refreshments were being served, the Glee Club entertained. s 142' COLALECE4 NOTES Mark Twain once said that there is such a thing as saying too much. The truth of this statement was especially apparent to the Junior Electrical section, one beautiful day this past s-pring. Inasmuch as the day was very warm and the lecture had started at a period 'hefore the regular one, all expected to be excused early that afternoon. But the instructor in charge seemed to he of a contrary mind, for he proceeded 'to give a most elaborate hut important discussion, in which, strange to say, no one hut the speaker seemed inter- ested. This state of affairs was due to an impromptu attack of Spring F ever, a sickness which is often erroneously regarded as pure laziness by the ignorant. One hour passed-two hours-and still no sign of wavering onthe part of the future prof. Matters were hecoming well-nigh desperate when suddenly the countenance of each 'listener assumed a look inter- mingled of joy and complacency as the instructor said H- we complete the experiment after computing the horse-power input and output and then finding the efficiency. f Let's see-lfve left something out-oh, yes--the iorquef, ' i' s Hsay, Prof.,H interrupted someone, in alarm, haven't you been doing that for the last two hours?'l Un the Warpath Pistnerz, l feel like raising the deuce.

CI9l4.J TOM TADPOLE'S DREAM A POLYTECI-INIC BRAINSTORM A Tom Tadpole was a Senior, and a Junior, and a Soph, And a Freshman, mixed together into one, Commingled with, as flavoring, a little dash of Prof., And stuffed with varied knowledge by the ton. Une afternoon Tom Tadpole, with the labors of the day All aweary, hied him off from Poly's halls, And betook himself to Flatbush, or to Bensonhurst away, To the wildwoocl where the brown mosquito calls. Full armed with all his handbooks, with his slide-rule by his side, And longing for a peaceful place to sleep, Poor weary Tom, a shady nook beneath the trees espied, Where ants and other buglets softly creep. As Thomas sleeps, the wheels begin to whirl inside his dome, Forgotten ghosts of knowledge dance about, . While 'round and 'round, the problems and the calculations roam, All trying to turn Tommy inside out. 1 l-le dreamed he stood beside a road all paved with notebooks brown, - Whereon there marched a very motley throng. All his subjects, past and present, that he'd studied back in town, Each worse than all the others, marched along. Tom stood and stared, as well he might, to see the strange parade. First came the brothers Calculus, and next, A Ten transits, each one carrying a rod and alidade, And books chock-full of diagrams and text. Behind them followed no one knows how many B. T. U. Well mounted, all on carnot cycles rode. The air was thick and heavy with excess of C02 So that Thomas really thought he should explode. O, what is this poor Tadpole sees, that towers like a mountain? A monstrous great volcanic kind of hose! 'Tis partly a professor, and partly like a fountain, Belching forth great streams of problems as it goes. Aghast poor Thomas stood awhile, quite petrified with fear. It seemed the vast array would never pass. At last it went, Tom Tadpole stood a-staring at its rear And wished that he was safely back in class. Far down the road there blocked the way an object vast and great, Toward which the weird procession onward sped. Tom gazed and saw, and what he saw is awful to relate, A most tremendous kind of human head. But look, the face upon that head's familiar to our Tad. It is his own, there is no doubt of itg And into it the fearful mob of subjects, good and bad, ls pouring, every single little bit. Poor Tom awoke and looked around. l-le really thought , at first That with .that quantity of stuff inside, His little head had every right to swell itself and burst With erudition, rather than with pride. Alas, we find from day to day, the time is fully ripe For realizing in this raging stream, That Thomas Tadpole, with his woes, is our own prototype. Like him, we find the work is not a dream.

Printed this Hpolpwogn The Youth--His Clothes--His Friends How Carefully He Should Choose Them UST as the Youth entering into manhood is 75 Q . - l judged by the company he keeps, so is he ln ,g large measure judged by the Clothes he wears. 4 He may be assured that his appearance will make a favorable impression if he buys his' Clothes at l.oeser's. . l-le will not be barred from variety, nor must he be content with the commonplace. Cn the con- trary he will have as wide a choice as the young man who goes inn for freak Clothes and strong colors-but whatever he chooses will be correct and sufliciently conservative. We specialize in Clothes for Youth. We de- velop here that buoyant, cheerful style which appeals to young men with red blood. We assure that quality of tailor work which means service. Loeser Clothes look well, fit well, and wear well. Every young man ought to know about the stock now ready here. . Priced from SIU up. lin .my ami: me LeadinQRe1aiI cmuashmemof smouvpj .
