From 1865 to 1868 he was a student at th Pol technic Institute of Brooklyn, being a classmate of General Goethals. He attended Cornell when that university o Znedy In 1870 Dr Nichols took the degree of B. S. at the New York University, and in 1873 the degree of M. S. ln 19,04 he received the degree of L.L.D. from Lafayette University and the same year D. Sc. from Columbia. In 1904 Dr. Nichols was elected President of the Society of Chemical lndustry of Great Britain, succeeding Sir William Ramsey. At the 1909 meeting, of the Seventh International Congress of Applied Chemistry held in London, he was elected President of the Eighth Congress to be held in New York. This Eighth Congress was the largest interna- tional congress of applied chemistry ever held, the record of its proceedings filling 70,000 printed pages. ln 1912, in recognition of his valuable work in chemical research, discovery, and development, he was decorated by the King of Italy with the Order of Commendatore of the Crown of Italy. Dr. Nichols was an incorporator of the American Chemical Society. He is a member of many scientific and tech- nical societies, among them the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Electro-Chemical So- ciety, Franklin Institute, French Society of Chemical Industry, Canadian Mining Institute, and Yerein Deutscher Chemiker. He is also a corresponding member of Societe D'Encouragement pour L'lndustrie Nationale, Paris. Dr. Nichols is noted as a manufacturing chemist, copper refiner, and smelter. ln 1870 Dr. Nichols started his little shop on Newton Creek with but one helper. He often worked 24 to 36 hours at a stretch. His scientitic methods won over the Rule o' Thumb methods of his competitors. Today, as a result of these methods, 40,000,000 pounds of copper are being refined every month at the Newton Creek plant. Dr. Nichols is chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Chemical Company, and presidentiof the Nichols Copper Company and the Gransby Consolidated Mining, Smelt- ing and Powder Company. He is a member of the Corn Exchange Bank, State Realty and Mortgage Company, Miami Copper Company, Phosphate Mining Company, Read Phosphate Company, Pittsburg Steel Company, Title Guarantee and Trust Company, and other corporations. When the war started, Dr. Nichols placed himself at the disposal of the Government. He served on the Advisory Committee of the Council of National Defence until it was dissolved, when he assumed the Chairmanship of the Advisory Committee on Chemicals for the Bureau of Mines. He presented to the Government one of the most valuable war can' tributions, the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. Dr. Nichols has been connected with the Polytechnic for many years. Since 1904 he has been Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He has always been a loyal and warm friend of the Institute. 6 ,l,l 'R,X -' 1'I'1'1if44 -- f giti. 'YQ- ' 2 POLY 2 .

Enrron, 1918 POLYWOG, MY DEAR SIR: The Corporation of the Polytechnic Institute acknowledges with pleasure the honor conferred by the Junior Class in dedicating to it the 1918 issue of the POLYWOG. It is not unmindful of the fact that such yearnbooks may be of very great value to the institution and are not issued simply for the amusement of the Class. It is sure that the motives are high, and that the good which the publication can do the Institute vvill be considered by the editors and their associates as the principal dividend which they will receive for their services. With this idea in view, I XVQIQOIHQ your invitation to Send a brief message to The Institute, Its Faculty, and Its Students, and in order not to run to too great a length I will confine 1ny thoughts to a single one. The members of the Corporation have made many sacrifices in the past in order that the Polytechnic might be what it is today. I regret that in doing this they have not been encouraged over 1nuch by concerted financial action of the alumni, and yet it is on these very alumni fits children, so to speakj that the Institute must depend for its future growth and efficiency. Of course, primarily, the best thing that an alumnus ca11 do is to lead a life which will reiiect credit on the institution, but in addition to this there is something he can do to help the institution concretely. Every student who leaves the institution pays only half what it costs to educate him. He should there- fore consider himself in debt at least for the other half. If he becomes very successful, he should have ambition to return much more than his debt, but it is hard for me to conceive of a graduate who will be so unsuccessful that he cannot at least make that good Within a reasonable time. Most educa.tional institutions have regular returns from graduating classes which form an extremely important part in the conduct of the institution. Is it too much to expect that the Class of 1919 shall early take cognizance of this great truth and take steps accordinglv? Other classes which have already gone forth from our halls may thereby be encouraged to take united action., i . Our message to the Faculty would be to go on as they have been doing. The work of its members has been of a high order and has been thoroughly appreciated by the Corporation. . The Corporation sends its cordial congratulations tothe Class of 1919 With the hope that every nieniber of it will make good. ' ' Very sincerely, I Qiqftgizedj Wm. II.

The Greater Poly, friend, is a great big idea, conceived some years ago, inspired by the most unself- ish of motives, planned and furthered to victory over all obstacles, and finally materialized ill the Year of Uur Lord, 1917. The who and the how of this project make an interesting story of accomplishment. l'll tell it to you as 1 saw it acted, even though 1 perhaps saw only the last part of the show. h p h As a Freshman here at Tech, in 1915, 1 first heard those words, the Greater Poly. Occasionally 1 saw them in print-in the '4Reporter -and on more seldom intervals I had heard some penetrating, far- sighted prophet utter them with that supercilious air of mystery known only to student-prophets. But I didn't get the idea immediately. i 1 In fact, the whole meaning of the thing only comes after a prolonged soaking-in process such as, for instance, must precede the revelation of the meaning of that Sphinx of mathematics, the integral sign, or some such enigma. At least, so it seemed to me, and finally, when 1 did get uthe drift, it left lots of food for thought and contemplation. ' The Greater Poly-a Poly that was to be greater. That was my final definition, and simple though it may seem, the how of that proposition took some pondering to answer. 1 at last decided that Poly was great just as she stood, and this opinion has always been vehemently upheld by all our grads and want-to-be grads with whom I have ever spoken. Hence, 1 argued, it consequently followed from the natural premises of the problem, that the only way for Poly to become greater was to become bigger, and 1 suflixed my E. D. However, it was not to be Quite Easily Done, as was.soon evident. 'For' to become bigger meant, primarily, to become bigger in size. And right here my mental' building process hit an impenetrable wall of fact which unfortunately surrounded us on two sides. Upon further examining the natural premises above referred to, 11 POLY Woo '18 I discovered that the only way to increase in size was to grow upward, and that seemed scarcely feasible after considering the topography of that Alpine roof which separated our earthly domain from infinity and the fourth dimension. There Wasn't much that happened along these lines during the Spring.of that year, but there was a lot more talk when College reopened the following Fall. Our next door nelghbor, the Prep, had somehow extracted ?B800,000 from some private individuals and the public at large, and rumor had lt that the fund was to be used to build a new home for the Prep in the primeval wilds of Dyker Helghts. Then, with the new year of 1917, came somenew news. And it was some news. First of all, the Prep was soon to move and we, the College, were to inherit its old home, or rather, as was recently pointed out by Dr. Rossiter W. Raymond, the oldest living'Poly grad, the college was to come into its own again. Then, some weeks later, at a meeting' of the Boardof Trustees, it was voted to raise T5l00,000 to remodel and equip the building which had 'ccome back so that it would be lit for Institute purposes. It was further decided that all plans and specifications for the rejuvenation of the lnstitute's old birthplace were to he approved by April 1 of that year, and soon' Anthony the Only began to make daily tours of inspection through the Prep building with the inquiring eye of a prospective proprietor. lmmediately the Alumni were heard from. They took upon themselves the raising of a third of the necessary ufirst hundred thousand, once again proving that they are as loyal a crowd as any college can boast of. The plans, when they were finally made public, were admirable. Certain departments had for sev- eral years imperiously demanded expansion, especially in regard to laboratory space, and such laboratory space and facilities were wisely and discreetly alloted. Coordination of the various departments was under- taken and accomplished. A number of luxuries, which seem nevertheless indispensable were provided for -but of these you shall hear later. The main point now is that the one who planned all these changes and I O I I Q 5 addltlons 1S lndeed, 1n our own vernacular of compliments, a HWISC guy of the first order. From the nature anddscope of thle changes it was apparent that the engineer of the whole proceedings understood Institute C t c . ' .

Sheldon. And, because of this last crowning achieve- ment, the Visage of our old friend and teacher was cemented even more lirrnly in the hearts and affections of all Poly men and well-wishers. - I And now, the beginning of the present college year. We returned to the Institute after the summer of 1917, confident in the expectation of finding our new addition complete in all the glory of its renovation and new equipment. Furthermore, there was an additional cause for joy. Wetwere henceforth to be de- prived of the company of the Prep. This in itself was no cause for rejoicing, as the Prep and the College have some things in common. But upon rehecting that hereafter the word Polytech might enter the lexicon of the general public as being synonymous with a first rate, class A, approved school of engineering, instead of being continually confused with the inevitable uPoly Prep, one could not help but think that the parting presaged a more fortunate future for the Institute. W A superficial inspection of the building last September made one's rosy hopes almost sag, such were the effects of a few heaps of rubbish conspicuously strewn along the main avenues of thoroughfare, and a few bare and as yet unpainted walls. The .actual fact was that the place was all but ready, ' and a little polishing and scrubbing, with here and there a dab of bright buff paint, and the new rooms were as habit- able, cheerful, and homelike as any we have. Actually, the old school building had been transformed and we were veritably in a new building. ' h The remodelling was really an excellent work, thoroughly substantial, sans camouflage, a construction that is likely to' last. Replacing the ancient, creaky means of inter-floor communication are two imposing, solid, concrete stairways, with regular stone stepspiand banister that will not give way during a Fresh-Soph tiff. In the basement of the new building-the Administration Building, by the way, is its designation, while the college building becomes the Institute Building-is' a well equipped steam laboratory. The gas power laboratory is here situated, and provision has been made for amheating and- ventilation laboratory. Q A splendid testing materials laboratory occupies the large central room of the basement. ln the rear is a big hydraulic laboratory which is being equipped with modern hydraulic apparatus. On this floor is also situated the foundry of the shop department. ' ' 1 13 i , SQ - I I SQYL Et! PQLY Q 'tt f WCG '18s r ' The front of the first floor is occupied by the handsomely furnished oflices of the President, the Registrar, and the stenographers' room. The Chapel stage has been enlarged, new seats installed, and a new lighting system imparts a tungsten cheerfulness to the scene. On the rear of the floor are located the new C. E. draft- ing room, two C. E. lecture rooms, and the oiiices of the department. r On the second floor are two bright study rooms, a pretty ladies' retiring room, and a student publications' room. The large central room has become the Mechanical Engineering drafting room. The rear of the floor is occupied by the lecture rooms and oilices of the Mathematics Department. ln the front of the third floor, an electro-chemical laboratory, a radio telephone and telegraph labora- tory, and a mechanicians shop are being equipped. A large examination room occupies the center of the floor. ln the rear, the English lecture rooms, the English Department Library, and the offices of the depart- ment are situated. On the fourth floor are several well lighted, new chemical laboratories. ' ln the Institute Building, also, there have been many changes. ln the gymnasium, the basketball court has been improved by the removal of half the track. The shop department occupies the forlner testing materials laboratory and the oHices of the Registrar. On the third floor, replacing the old electrical meas- urements laboratory and the store room, is the beautiful Potts Laboratory of Physics. ln the former Studio drafting room is being constructed a large, modern industrial chemistry laboratory, and a new balance room for quantitative Work has been completed. . These are but the major changes. lnnumerable others have been made, a description of which would be many pages long. Suflice it too say that, since these things have happened, Poly is a better place to live in, a bigger place, and--we hope-a more useful place. p To the Board of Trustees, whose loyalty and generosity have made possible these good and much needed changes, we all,'faculty and students, feel deeply grateful. And perhaps the best way to prove our worthiness of what has been done is to make of the Institute truly a Greater Poly, a place of greater worth, of greater accomplishments, and of greater service. 14 A Mechanical Laboratory in the making Corner of Testing Materials 'Laboratory Potts Laboratory of Physics 0 -if -in n i 'Wil Nlailloux Library or Electrical Engineering Studio Laboratory Ixixxxlix Lm'il1 i 'N Y 1 Q I. i i - m.f!2 iN'1: 1 . ,H--qu ,mmnu 1, i I , X t I ' Q! li I V i A-,Qi .

A S? W- V2 PoLY Q 95 woo as 'ew jf ' Americas Awakening To the brave and loyal men of the Polytechnic Institute who are now serving with the colors, this poem is dedicated. Upon a calm and peaceful world The thunderbolt of War was hurled, A nation once so high and proud Lay now beneath a' sable cloud Of helmeted barbarians bold, Who for the greedy lust of gold A people's honor trampled down And lost a king his rightful crown. The western world just watchedthe strife, While trodden souls did gasp for life, Supinely saw a noble ship - Fall victim to the monster's grip, ' Saw thousands of her children weep ' For dear ones 'neath the briny deep. At last the giant roused his might To iight for freedom and for right. The clarion call so loud and clear, Throughout the land both far and near, From all the daily walks of life, Did summon soldiers to the strife. The farmer left his trusty spade, The craftsman his accustomed trade, The teacher left his daily toil, To enter in the mad turmoil. 19 The Hery cross throughout the land Was sped by ,every willing hand. The clans, all heeding duty's call, Responded quickly one and all, While mothers stood with tearless eyes And sweethearts all suppressed their sighs, Silent prayers and blessing fell Upon the heroed throng's farewell. Ten times ten thousand warriors brave Will find ten million Huns their grave. With sword in hand-and casque on head They'll mow a harvest of the dead, Until the despot's craven soul Shall hear our Wrathful thunder roll, And with a coward cur's bewail He'll tremble, falter, then turn tail. Then let us with our pow'r and might Do our devoir to win the fight, Until the tyrant bleeding lays , And for his crimes atonement pays. Then with autocracy's death knell, We'll send the dogs of war to hell And from across the ocean's foam We'll loudly cheer our victors home. SAMUEL C. NYGOOD Evening Dept.

Neither has it been possible to list alumni and former students, due largely to a lack of accurate information. , 21' - 9 FACULTY FRED WASHINGTON Atrnrivson 1 Pirostctent of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn Born in' Reading, Mass., 1865, A.B., Harvard Uni- versity, 1890, Ph.D., University of Leipzig, 1893, Head of Science Department, Westfield, Mass., High School, 189 0-91, University of Berlin, 1891, University of Halle, 18925 Universities of Jena and Sorbonne, 1893-94, Principal, Springfield, Mass., High School, 1894-1900, General Superintendent of Education, Phil- ippine Islands, 1900-03, Superintendent of Schools, Newton, Mass., 1903-04, President of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, from 19011, Member of the Board of Education, New York, from 1916, Author of The Philippine Islandsf, ' FAC LTY -I ' I, N '2i2'3'I'.'

How strange We felt, like one who Wandering falls Upon some noisy, restless, uncouth place. We stayed a while and soon we saw anew, i No longer did thy walls their grimness hold, For all their hidden beauties came to view, And all their seeming baseness turned to gold. Time came to leave-to break the bonds We made. Then by its loss did we perceive the wealth That had been ours, that thou hadst ever laid Before us Without slightest stint or stealth. We had been prodigal, abused thy trust, Had taken more than we could e'er return., But while tl1e spark of life inspires our dust We e'er shall seek the love thou gav'st to earn. Morning Soliloquy 'Tis early morn and through the quiet air There comes the buzz that summons us to class Dread sound whose strident accents bear A chill of fear to Freshman hearts. Alas! u With weary heart I trudge on with the rest, With uncompleted theme I go my way. Last night who ever would have guessed That I should be compelled to sing this lay? Five minutes more and I would be all done, Content to go in peace unto my fate. And now to come on time ,I have to run, And all the While I murmur Hhymns of hate . as . l 12- 9...

'18 The Last of the Mohicans FTER five years of diligent work interspersed with many joyful and 'memorable events, the aban- doned remnant of the crew of the good ship ul9l7l' is about to be thrust out into the cold world, each man on uhis ownf' f s As we go forth into this world, distraught with strife and blood-shed, but one thought obsesses each and everyone of us.: How will We aid humanity to rid itself of the Teutonic scourge? It is to assist our beloved country in just such a crisis that our Alma Mater has willingly given us an education for less than half of what it costs her. Now that the opportunity of partly repaying this debt presents itself, shall we be equal to it? We'll not hazard much if we shout yes. Each, in his own way, will strive to bring renown to H 'l7 and glory to Poly by laboring ceaselessly for victory. - ' Our record in college stands forth as a shining light. As one of our professorsappropriately remarked, We can't be beat. With such a re-inforced foundation, we will build high. You will undoubtedly hear as much from us hereafter as heretofore.. We will be 'ctherefl Our sun is setting over the most beneficial and joyful period of our life.

' Behold, Reader, for the month of September of the year of 1917 marked the Dawn of a New Era, the Era of the Class of 1919. - They came from all Regions of this Glorious U. S. A., even from- the Arid Desert of New Mexico and the Wind Blown Woods of Maine. And soon, on the Old Gym Floor, They were intro- duced to Themselves. They-The Class of 1919 Those gallant Sophs, they welcomed Them, with Excruciating Finesse and an Armful of Handbooks. At the College Smoker.- These same Sophs, they feast Them, with Java Grog and the Vegetation of Mecca, and then Adorn Them with ye Accumulation of Serge-Rubbish called Frosh Caps, and then extract a Half-Shekel, all with the tender Delicacy of the Hun Barbarian. Gently the Orators Distingue do demon- strate the Wisdom of the Pantaloon Sans Cuff and the Sober Neck-Piece. All of which They Swallow, for are They not Raw Fresh Men. , - Now another Day, Day of Days, .Day of Halter Hunting. It is a Fry-Day, and ye Sophs do Grease themselves in Oil or Vaseline in anticipation. And- a posteriori-beholding those Greased Sophs after their Deliverance from the Hot Fray, it must have been Some Stew. Did come November, when the Breezes Blew among the Skulls, and many an Empty Belfry awaited with Chilled Patience the Readoption of the Commodious Sky Piece. B g A great Night Attack on the Batterie de Cuisine of the Ritz, with W. J. B. leading the Assault on the Soft Stuff. Vast Quantities of Ammunition are sequestered ere the Havoc is Fully Wrought. The Season when one Gives and is Thankful arrives. They Gave, even to the Best of 'Their Ability. And there were those who were Thankful that the Arm still bore its Anatomical Alignment and the 'Neck its Conventional Perpendicularity. Gore did' flow freely, even as would Champagne at the Kaiser7s Own Funeral. But when the Time of Give had spent itself and the Time of Being Thankful begun, the Gallant Crew found they had been driven Two Points from Victory, and the gaping multitudes proclaimed a Game Fight. I Anon the Season of the Stetson and the Bright Neck Cloth. A month of Watchful Waiting, with the Heavers of the Basketball attaining Perfection. And then the Scrap Game. What a Fearful Melee this. The lnflated Sphere bounds and rebounds from the Old Gym Floor, as do also the Players with Equal Force. Few are Caged on Either Side, the Wild Ones all going Astray. And the sound of the Whistle records a hard fought defeat. ' But the Sophs are made to Taste Defeat also. Aided by Long Legs and a Good Wind, They outdistance them in the Relay Race and Capture the Medals. And They spendthe Rest of the Year in Growing Wise. So closes the First Book. PoLY ' a WCG '18 The Second Book - ,-lil-i A Year has elapsed since the Era of 1919 com- menced. There approaches Another College Year, and with it the New Fresh Men. Primed by a Year of Knowledge and Experience, They teach the Fresh Men the Devious Ways of the Circles of Higher Learning. They have devised an .Improved Hand- Book, and it contains All the Rules. At the College Smoker Such Matters are explained to the Ignorant Ones. The Neophytes make their exit carrying Mysterious Bundles, and the next day their Noveaux Chapeaux are the Admiration and Envy of all the She-Shoppers on Fulton Street. A Hawser-Contest is staged, but it is a Cinch for Them. Amidst much Useless Scrambling and Waist Motion, They firmly fasten Twenty-Seven gallant Lunch-Hooks on the Hemp and the Day's Work is Done. Even so are the Rules unmercifully Enforced to the end that the Fresh Men may become Disciplined and Worthy College Men. They are taught Humbleness of Spirit and Modesty of Attire and such other Neces- sities as are not found in the College Curriculum. And the Days of Confiscation are filled with Terror for the Unwary and the Unwise. More Scraps come, but they scarcely disturb Their Equanimity. The Bouts end in a Draw and the Scrap Came. is easily Theirs by a Good Margin. Their Smoker in December brings back Old Times to Poly. The Fresh Men-seven of them-being Captured Alive, perform Queer Antics such as the Ritual calls for. And even as the adage goes, All Were Pleased. The Reporter, as They edited it, found Favor in the Eyes of the Polytechnites, and its Popularity Increased and Multiplied and its Fame Grew among College Publications. And Even So did They reorganize Varsity Track alld Varsity Debating and start a Host of Other Things. Q c Then the Great War spread to the Americas. There was Uncertainty everywhere, and the Pertinent Question of What-to-Do filled Their Minds. There was 1nucl1 Debate and a Deal of silent Thought. And Some Went to Defend their Country while Others Stayed but to learn to Serve more Efficiently when Their Time came. They Changed, even as the Tide of the Times, and the Watchword of Those who Went alld of Those who Stayed became alike-Service, Service for Country and Home in the Best and most Fruitful Way possible. So- closes the Second Book. POLY WOG ,18t The Third Book I The War Continues, and as They re-assemble the Change is Apparent. Now it is Real Business. The Government has established the Engineers' Reserve, and Those that have Stayed find their Course Encour- aged. And even so there is a Scramble for the First Third, wherein Three Thirds endeavor to Squeeze. They Smile with a Knowing Air at the combats of the Lower Classes, and patronizingly encourage O11e Side or the Other. For Their Superiority is Evident and They Accept their new Exalted Position. Now the Knowledge and the Dope are eagerly Devoured. With a real Earnestness of Purpose and a'High Resolve to Prepare for the Best that is in Them, They turn Besolute Backs' on Former Frivol- ities and manfully Tackle the Problems of Men and Engineers. 'The Light Fantastic is nigh forgotten, as evidenced by the Discontinuance of the Junior Prom. They Hooverize, and even so the Banquet is Aban- doned as a Vain Pleasure. Instead They discuss Highbrow Matters. Maximum and Minimum, Maximalist and Minimalist, Pschycol- ogy and'What-Not, They discuss them All and Pass the Opinion. Illlll lllll lllllHITl'l'1IIIII Basketball is Continued, and the Undefeated Class Team expects to Preserve its Record, They put all Their Spirit and Soul into the Organization of the P. L. P. S. and Help Greatly to make it A Success. The only other Usual Activity is the Polywog, upon which the Reader Himself must Pass Judgment. A So, as the Third Year of the Era of the Class of 1919 draws near to a Close, They find Their Numbers spread apart, torn asunder by the Fortunes of War. Some are Over There in France, Others are in Can- tonment and Training Camp making ready to go, still Others are Burning the Midnight Oil in Anticipa- tion of proving More Useful in the Near Future. And Those among Them who are in the Service are herewith Enumerated Charles H. Bartlett Vivian A. Carrougher John T. Decker J. Grant Park I John S. Starrett L. Wendell Squire Thomas R. Farrell, Jr. Burdette S. Swezey Bruce C. Tuthill Irving P. White Edmund J. Kane Joseph S. Kaplan S0 closes the Third Book.

The Passing Showiof 1920 W e com e, we come, we come, With the roll of rattling bonesg Old glory shines amidst the yan, As the Class is passing by. i To those who are wasting their lives' in a vain attempt to' prove that there is no such thing as a distinctive class, we extend a hearty invitation to read the history of the Class of 1920 at the Polytechnic, and we herewith submit a short sketch of its career. Unbiased, and with justice to all, we will proceed to show how the Sophomore Class succeeded in enforcing college customs and establishing an enviable reputation. But as this is only gener- alization, witness the facts. ' ' , Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he. A H e called for his pipe, he called for his bowl, and he called for his jiddlers three. The annual College Smoker attained the height of its brilliancy this year. Managed by a capable committee of the Sophomore Class, the Smoker opened the eyes of the Freshmen, for the first time, to the advantages of a college career. Enveloped in the cheerful atmosphere of smoke and song, the men were afforded the opportunity of getting together. Professional entertainment, local talent, and other sports contributed to the jollity of the occasion. . - ' The stag at eve had drank his jill, the moon did brightly shine, , As from his revels homeward, the Soph his path did twine. True to form, the Class held its smoker before Thanksgiving. This smoker reflected the spirit and high ideals of the Sophomores. Ample provisions had been made for the confiscation of Freshmen who were to furnish the entertainment. Other entertainment was not lacking. The men got together beautifully, good-fellowship radi- ated from. the gathering. Accompanied by the Class's Mragtime kingj, some pretty songs were rendered. When the crowd finally broke up, another gala day was writ in the annals of'1920. l 3 . D A Sophomore bold, with strength untold, he stoppeth one of threeg 'r By my bright green tie, and blue-gray cap, now wherefore stopp'st thon me? All of which has to do with enforcing college customs. The class-. developed some efficient schemes for subju- gating the Freshmen. Thruout the reign of terror, the Sophs proceeded to confiscate variegated colored socks 77 ' CLASS GF 1920 and ties. The nearby lamp-posts were plentifully deeoi ated, and the five and ten cent stores did a rushing business in green ties. Braving the dangers of the winteits frost, disobedient Freshmen could' be seen paradmg aboutiin stodkingless feet. Many, on losing their ties, rotated their collars through one hundred eighty degrees, thus assuming an ecclesiastical appearance. Long pants, due to the lowering of cuffs, also came into vogue. The mats are laid, the scene is set, the crowd with patienge waiting, . Q Ding .l Dong! goes the gongg the men are met, and each for 'vict'ry batting. The Thanksgiving scraps were another landmark in the Sophomore road. With infinite care and preparation, the difficult stunts in boxing and wrestling were worked out by the diierential calculus. Though the Freshmen showed good form, the Sophomores proceeded to display their own mettle. Whether it was due to an error in the log tables, or some other evil, the Freshmen miscalculated their chances, and the algebraic sum of the points showed the Class of 1920 victors. H . Oh, fate is on the mystic ship, she's casting the dice, I see. The Sophs have won! The Sophs have wonfv she cries out angrily. ,The task of governing Freshmen hosiery and neckwear over, the Class prepared for the Christmas scrap- game. And f'serap it was when the two basketball teams came together on the day before Christmas. The Hhuskyi' 1920 team was roundly applauded as the men trotted out in their natty new suits. The first half ended with the chips on the Freshman side. But he laughs best who laugs last. The Sophomores allowed the lower class to retreat gracefully and lose the game in the second half. With pen in hand and face as bland as the stuyjf that he is writing, .T V The Sophomore watches the eager mob for copies 'round him fighting. The Sophomore Class publishes the Reporter.', This newspaper, one of the most vital factors in the daily life of the college, exerts a strong influence upon the minds of the students and faculty. It is the medium for the transmission of all important news and suggestions to the men. The Class of 1920, through its competent staff, raised the plane of the paper a. step higher and introduced many new features, as well as bright spots of humor that the paper had heretofore lacked. The Reporter has become a- strong habit with the students, who impa- tiently await its appearance from week to week. The Handbook, printed at the very beginning' of the first semester, was an improvement over the previous one, reflecting the versatility of the class writers. The day is doneg, the worh's complete, the sun is setting in the W estg Another era soon to start. Itesolfved: that it shall be the best! 78 2 2 I .125 .- -'Nr Y- IIMEN X4 H 550 4 '.

Any of us will emphatically maintain that as a class our ac- tivities could be but little improved. A A fine spirit of comradely sportsmanship has permeated our entire stay here at Tech, and on every occasion has guided us to victory and strengthened the ties that bind our members into an impregnable unit. Even the Sophs will bear this out. ' From the first show of its mettle at the Rope Bush, and through each successive event, the class has shown that it has the stuff. Every class and inter-class occasion was marked by a harmony of behavior and a marked mutual feeling of confidence and good-will. Each succeeding event simply strengthened its determination, and now each member can proudly look back at the past year and smile with real satisfaction. I Our first test came at the Rope Bush. After an acquaintance started at the College Smoker, the Sophomores knew the -proposition they had to face. They therefore took all precautions possible, and well they did, for they' very nearly suffered the pangs of bitter defeat. As itlwas, the score was 26-24 in their favor, and this small margins may be attributed to their experience. The marking event, however, was the courage shown, especially by Frank Alexandre '21, who was removed to the hospital from the Gym on sustaining a fractured knee-cap. Freshman insignia, the famous caps, socks, and ties, were hereafter proudly worn- as a sign of distinction, just as the apparel worn by the Soph officers on Broadway at a later 'date also served as a sign of distinction. The expected Soph smoker was typical of such -an event. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, it was found that the Sophs had succeeded in capturing five of our number, and that we-Munsophisticatedv Fresh- men-had the audacity to actually capture three of our 'fsuperiorsfi and to present them in gala attire to the amused public on the Brooklyn Bridge and on Broadway. - 87 CLASS OF 1921 Similarly, the' Freshman banquet was so much a success that a parallel can hardly be drawn. Its plan and execution were perfect. The entire Class had a never-to-be-forgotten holiday, and the real time of their lives. Our volunteer autos kept all the active groups about the city in communication. Eventually the entire Class assem- bled at Van Cortlandt Park and marched down, Broadway, headed by the Sophomore officers dressed as Rajahs, while the Freshmen sang songs of glee. The Sophs must have had influence with the police, for we were soon ordered to disrobe them of their masquerade attire, on the ground that they were obstructing traffic. However, at Mouquins, the scene of the banquet, the Sophs' again assumed their grotesque togs and gratefully partook of the delicious dishes set before them. The banquet itself was a thing to be looked back upon. It was just one big answer to the question, f'What is college spirit ?', Dr. Tucker and Mr. Seubert were the faculty guests. The Freshma.n-Sophomore Scraps were not very different from the previous events. Every hard-fought con- test was won by the Freshmen contenders. The Sophs, however, succeeded in outpointing us by forfeits and poor matches. The strength of the Freshman spirit was so strongly manifested that thereafter they decided to dis- continue the wearing of caps and sombre ties. The final clash of the two lower classes was at the Christmas basketball game. The Soph team was by far the heavier and better trained. The Freshmen made up, however, with skill and determination. Each man of the team realized the responsibility he owd to his cheering classmates and played accordingly. The result was that the Sophs barely won the game by the close score of 16-15. ' With interclass activities suspended thruoutthe second semester, the same earnest of purpose continued. The Class has solidified into a unit in the true faith of our na.tional motto, E pluribus unumf' Our president and several members of the class joined the colors, while we, at home, turned our a.ctivities to the Patriotic League. Membership in a college class is, we think, a great honor as well as a great responsibility. Every member of the Class of 1921 has learned to realize what this means, and we look confidently to the future to prove that we are capable of shouldering this responsibility as well as worthy of the honor which has become ours. 88 lin jllllemnriam walter Q. Phelan enum uf 1912 Eieh September 2, 1917 THE POLYTECHNKZINSUTUTE BROOKLYN-NEW YORK PRESIDENTS OFFICE - March 15, 1918. To the Evening Students: ' . - In f . . f The President gladly avails himself of the invitation o Editor to extend cordial greetings to you who are pursuing courses in th vening and to express to you on behalf of the whole instructing e e staff their admiration of the whole-hearted energy with which you have r b s ' d the o portunities afforded here. Your progiess here year y eize p year has given keen satisfaction to us all, especially to our Trustees. Ai the graduates who are rendering great service to their profession long and to their country are to be numbered men from the Evening Department. When asking for financial support, I have made the statement that the Institute is a college without a loafer in it, and I have pointed parti- cularly to you who are performing double duties, that of earning your living and of adding to your professional equippment, showing that no men could be more grimly in earnest and no institution providing opportuni ties for such men could lack financial suppport. During the period that the evening work has been in existence over one million dollars has been contributed to the support and the development of the Institute. That the plans we now have for a still wider field of usefulness will result eventually in doubling our attendance in the evening and thus our ser- vice, is now my earnest hope. I am, as always, Cordially and sincerely yours, T M2-fa, President .-.- l 1 I E 1 Z 3 I I I I I I I I I I I Ninn? f r ' POLY 4 , A Woo '18 Class of 1918-Evenmg Department JOHN ABDELA I B.

The Evening Students, Committee .1....1,.i.,..1 EYSERAL attempts have been made in tl1e past to organize clubs i11 tl1e eve11i11g dCP21lllllGlljC. The results were all but encouraging. The charter members Were usually very enthusiastic, but even tl1e year followiiig its organization it was very difficult to start tl1e ball rolling agai11. E11tllUSl2lSH1 111 tl1e CYClllllg dcpartineiit lS short-lived. This social laxity weighed heavily upon tl1e minds of some ardent 'Polyites of tl1e evening courses, illltl was finally tl1e cause of a brilliant idea: to wit, committee COHlpOSGCl of willing W01'lfCli'S whose 11111111 purposes ivould be to run some big social events for the evening men, to have so111e sort of g3,tllCl'l.ll,9QS ivhere tl1e lflllfll could llllllglfl and converse intimately, and, 111 short, to make the evening man derive some social benefit from his Alma Mater. After a coiisiderable ELll1Olll1l2 of manoeuvering, the first HEvo11i11g Students' C..'o1n111ittee'J was formed i11 January, 1916. It consisted of tl1e following me11: S. C. Nygood, Cll21,ll'1l1211l, A. Moscowitz, secretary-treasurerQ F. Kuchar, l:'. Shepard, I. Sternberg, A. Porth, B. Reisher, A. Lasner. These lfllCll iminediately got busy 3111-l laid plans for the il4'i1'st Annual Evening Students' Smoker. Through the l1llll'LlQ1lC'C of Mr. Lasner, tickets were printed free of charge. With this start flll1CilS were soon Ol3lZ?1l1lCd. It proved to be a great success from tl1e poi11t of enthusiasin and QlJJECllCl2UlCG. Tl1e students responded splendidly. The ttlrlflllt, smokes, and l'Gl?1'GSl1111G11lIS were enjoyed immensely by about two hundred 1ne11. Financially, it was almost a success. TllQl'C was a very small deficit of two cents, u'l1ich tl1e members of tl1e committee very generously defrayed. 1 This first success spurred tl1e eonnnittee 011 to greater Work. The next question tl1at arose was how was the conrniittee to set itself before JEllG 111911 and hovv it sl1ould be chosen. iFllG pla11 of election was l1it upo11. lt was decided to place eigl1t names from each of tl1e four departnients o11 a ballot, flllfl to allow tl1e evening students to vote for four from each department. Accordingly, suitable ballots were p1'i11ted and distributed. Out of about five hundred ballots that were distributed, Ollly about eighty were returned. Tl1e election was a complete failure. .-Xlthouglr the Second Evening Students' Committee Was chosen in this inanner, it was clearly pointed out that the 0 WHU18 htULli11JES d1d not care to be bothered with elections. The Ollly other solution to tl1e problem was to 11211116 successois eac 1 yeai and 111v1te them to serve on the coninnttee. This plan Worked Well this year. A V 1 . ' Q V, . .

There was only one answer, and the committee never flinched. It subscribed the necessary amount. The smoker was not only assured, but it turned out to be a success from every point of view, even financially. The committee was now in a position to make arrangements for the First Annual Dance. To make certain that the students would support such an affair, ufeelersf' were sent out to ascertain their sentiment on the matter. The results were gratifying. No time was lost and work was immediately started to assure the success of the affair. And a success it was, toiwhich fact any person who Was there will attest. The Second ,Evening Students, Com- mittee actually ended with a small' surplus in the treasury, which showed that the men were supporting it. This year the war had made inroads upon the membership of the committee, but the vacancies were quickly filled. The first man to join the -colors was Mr. Raymond Sheridan. We had all known him well and felt his departure keenly. Mr. Andrews was next to go, and he was followed by Mr. Brandis. Mr. Cohen then joined the aviation corps. Then Mr. Baum interrupted his secretarial duties to enlist in the Ordnance Department. The Third Annual Smoker was run without difficulty, and yielded- a surplus of about thirty dollars, which exceeded that of previous years. The attendance of about three hundred and fifty men was greater than was ever experienced at any former occasion. At the time of this writing the committee is making arrangements for the Second Annual Dance. . ' - But the Evening Students, Committee does not only intend to- run smokers and dances. It aims to bring the day' and evening men in closer touch than they have been heretofore. If the day. men want any news tolget to the evening men, the committee is the place to make that known, andthe reverse is also true. The meetings of the committee are open. ,Both day and evening men are cordially invited to attend and express their opinions and ideas. Already the men of the two departments are beginning to mingle. A few day men have ventured to come to Evening Men's smokers. Some of the evening department have reciprocated and have attended some day func-tions. The basketball games were enjoyed by a number of evening men. To try to-get the students inter- ested in Poly as their Alma Mater is another aim of the committee. Towards that end it hashelped contribute to funds, such as the Poly Student Fund for equipping a Societies' room and the smoke fund for our boys at the front. The committee is glad to cooperate with the Reporter and the POLYWOG, and to supply both of these publica- tions with news of the evening department. ' A I V ' The Evening Students, ,Committee has come to stay,'and'is part of the life of the evening department. '97 9 1 5,1-:vfzg x A POLY i I WOG '18 .. Third Annual Smoker HE Poly Kgymf' scene of the majority of Poly's student activities, became the scene of some activities on Saturday evening, December twenty-second. It was the Third Annual Smoker of the Evening Students' Association, and the evening students were well represented. About 7 130 the early men began to arrive, and by 8 :15 some three hundred and fifty students and professors were doing their utmost to imitate a battle-ship throwing out a smoke-screen. A ' Mr. George Price, chairman of the Evening Students' Committee, made a short speech in which he outlined the aims and purposes of the committee. In closing he requested Professor Green to address the students. Hearty applause greeted Professor Green as he stepped under the ropes and into the ring which, as he expressed it, was his first appearance in the ring since last yearis smoker. His talk was humorous, even to the extent of including his fellow professors, quite a number of whom were present. After stating that President Atkinson could not be present because of a severe cold, Professor.Green extended a Merry Christmas to all and left the ring. Q Mr. Buchholtz, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, was then introduced and announced that the first event of the evening would be a wrestling match between Benjamin Murray and Abe Friedman. It was a fairly exciting contest and ended in a draw. A burst of applause followed the announcement that Mr Jack Armour was Jresent evi len th .t those who 0 . . . 1 , c ce a hear Mr. Armour .do not forget him. After advising everyone never to let slip by an opportunity to laugh, he proceeded to furnish the opportunity by reeling off a string of new stories. That the students took his advice and profited thereby was made evident by the fact that for three-quarters of an hour Mr. Armour told jokes, none of wlnch went over the top. ' While the students were still laughing .over the particular jokes that appealed to them most, Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Habeck came into the ring. Four lively rounds of three minutes ea.ch ended in a draw. Then followed the first of a series of three wrestling matches, the winners of the first and second to be con- testants in the third. The first match l b t - ' A A ' was e ween Mi. Granich of Poly and Mr. Thum of East Side Y. M. C. A., 98 .gras , Q . x v . . . PGLY . woe as X 5 . s v J , .' . ' I - 1 . . .' foimeily a I ily student also. Dniing this match the students began to sit up on the edge of their chairs, for it was a lively catch as catch can. In tour minutes Thnm won a decision. ' The second match was between Mr. Dickman and Mr. Field, both of East Side Y. M. Ci A. This was another lively match and ended in four and one-half minutes with a decision for Mr. Field. To permit the winners to indulge in a needed rest, Houghy's National Acrobatic Troupe were then introduced. The acrobatic exhibition was made doubly interesting by the leader of the troupe, who explained the origin and name of each trick. 1 Now came the final match of the series. Although Mr. Field had a little the advanta.ge, Mr. Thum went at him in such a business-like manner that it proved to be the most spectacular match of the evening. After ten min- utes of hard struggle the match ended in a draw. ' The next event was a heavy-weight boxing bout between Mr. Hammer and Mr. Seaman, both of the National Athletic Club. Mr. Hammer is also a Poly student. This contest was very well fought and ended without either man gaining a decision. The most important event of the evening took the form of a wild scramble for sandwiches and a somewhat uncertain line-up for a cup of coffee. Control was out of the question, order-there wasn't any. 1 Because of the appetites of the smokers, many missed the best match of the evening, which was between Mr. Leahy and Mr. Field. Mr. Leahy was also from 'East Side Y. M. C. A. This was a very close match and, like the others, ended in a draw. ' V A large box, draped in the national colors, had been provided for those who wished to donate their smokes to the Poly men in Service. The box was not large enough. Although the entertainment was over and all signs of refreshment obliterated, the students seemingly loathe to go lin ered for some time getting better acquainted A truly enjoyable evening ended with Christmas greetings , g , C I . .

Each class sent delegates to the U meeting on that da f and these ClGlC'0'i'tJCGS new form the Executive Council of the Lea ue. Officers were elected lans v ra 2 ca I J formed andthe League established on a firm basis. So excellent has the Work of the League been since that da f a .9 A o that our boys in the Service wrote very high Words of praise for it in their letters. At weekly or fortnightly intervals meetings of the entire student body are held in the Auditorium, at .Which times men of prominence in national and city life address the body on subjects of vital interest. On these occasions, also, the newly-born Tech Orchestra renders selections, which add greatly to the interest. Also, the President gives a short summary of the week's activities of the committees. ' Several of the lectures have been illustrated with lantern slides. A great deal is learned from these talks, and the fa.ct that the men realize this and appreciate it is proved by the promptness with which they flock to the Audi- torium at the appointed hour for each meeting. The Correspondence Committee is keeping up a steady correspondence with the Tech men in the Nation's service. This helps to keep the men in good spirits, and serves to supply them with information about things that are happening at their Alma Mater. The Contributions Committee and its three sub-committees keep our men in the field Well supplied with tobacco, sweaters, wristlets, socks,.razors, tooth-powder and brushes, combs, brushes, reading matter, and several other things that are common comforts to us, but real luxuries to them. The manner in which the League has succeeded leaves no doubt as to its future. It is the biggest thing that ever ha.ppened at Poly? . , '.

Nichols, Chairman of the Board of Trusteesoof the Polytechnic Institute. Inthis letter is embodied aysuggestion of both great importance a.nd great worth. Before reading further, Mr. Alumnus, will you not turn to page eight and see what Dr. Nichols has to say? Now having read the letter, note these points. Dr. Nichols presents a plan whereby graduated classes, as indi- vidual uniits, CELIID contribute to a common fund for the benefit of the Institute. Although the use of the fund is thus indirectly assigned, it is noteworthy that no specific purpose which it is to further has been singled out. Probably, naming a specific purpose for the fund-and there will be such a fund sooner or later-has been omitted intentionally. That there should be such a purpose is evident when one reflects on the chances of success for a fund having autangible objective against the chances oil' a fund which, though equally worthy of success, has yet a purpose rather general and indefinite. 'A suggestion, and a good one, for the use of such an Alumni fund has been made. We see, in the partial realiza- tion of the Greater Poly dream, evidence of the fact that the material side of the Institute can well be taken care of. But how about the human side, which is after all the vital part of the make-up of a college? The Polytechnic pays its professors as well a.s most institutions and better than many. But teaching is not, broadly speaking, a lucrative profession. The profession should offer pecuniary advantages sufhcient to allow the man who is a professor to live up to the dignity of his title. Why not, therefore, assign this fund as a kind of endowment fund forinstructors' salaries? Probably none of the present teaching staff would ever realize from such a move, as it will take time for such- a fund to assume any considerable proportions 5 but what a fine thing it would be if the future Polytechnic could offer to its instructing staff inducements which would favorably compare with commercial opportunities that are every day being opened to these men. It has been long delayed, but seine Alumni Fund will soon be started at the Polytechnic. What the present Alumni intend to do is problematic, but it is certain that they could do no better than to line up ,squarely behind a fund such as is here suggested. This, at any rate, is the opinion of the Board of Managers of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association ran neither the smoker nor the banquet this year. Due to the prevailing feeling that at the time these affairs are scheduled there might be unpleasant news concerning some of its members in the service and hence certainly no inclination for frivolity or pleasure, the Association has a.bandoned its customary annual social functions. However, the Association is co-operating with the Institute in order to make the Open Night in May a gala occasion for the Alumni as Well as a day of value for the Institute. The Alumni Association is considering a plan for life membership. At the time of publication, the details of the plan had not been decided upon. izi ' POLY WOG '18 The Polytechnic Stuyvesant Club Oflicers: l FRANK E.

Ignatius Salerno Henry Shapiro Thomas C. Schwab-s Casper Specht Frank R. Stamer John A. Tienken John Zoller David Zwerling The club offers an excellent opportunity for good fellowship. The attendance at meetings and at the annual dance shows that this opportunity is being eagerly accepted. The meetings of the club are of an informal nature, being more or less a social gathering where the men get together, spin yarns, sing songs, and partake of the excellent refreshments which are always provided. The feature of the year was the annual dance held on December 21, 1917, in the Spicer Library. The affair was well attended and most enjoyable to all present. For a young organization they Polytechnic Stuyvesant Club has done well and is recognized as a factor in the social activities at Tech. - 123 ' .g::i'eg5, E . e POLY L WOG 718 4. ip ::g...---....,-1-4--no-0--1-4---mUs-as-Q---on-use-no.--.uv-Q0--1--:bill ' ., LS J ' Q Y if my 134249627 . f3Z1:f.'.7 Bfiyffgg P' :4z',i'QfJ ififsefcaibfa A-4 1 f 1 , f:f5yif..f'23fs iiifvxfegf C 1 EP, SqfiB is uf v ' ' x A-:'.'.f .'i Nr. 1' 4 1 ,wpj ti? gg!! 4.

ATHLETICS , TI-IE BASKETBALL SEASCN OF 1917-18 ROSPECTS for the season seemed par- ticularly bright when the first calls for practice were answered by a large turn- out of veteran and raw material. With Al Stewart coaching a squad of old-timers like Jack. Tanz, Casper Specht, Captain George Cherr, and plenty of new men out for positions, it looked as if the varsity would clean up everything in sight, barring several slumps, the season has been very successful. Out of 20 games, ll were won-a heavier schedule -than last year's with an equal number of wins. - Specht and Hildebrand at forwards brought memories of the Specht-Conner combination of last season. ulackw McCaw, who had been play- ing a fast forward game, joined the navy and it was then that Hildebrand was unearthed from the night department. Kessler made a cleanjump from the freshman team to the varsity. He played a hard game at center and will be a valuable man on next season7s quintet. Tanz and Stewart at guard proved a barb-wire defense to many am- bitious forwards. y Captain Cherr ably led the team thruout the season and his steadying influence brought our team out of many tight places. , I Cooper Takes the Count. Poly opened the season on November 24, by defeating Cooper Union. The game looked bad for Poly up to the last few minutes when a sen- sational spurt brought our team to victory with a score of 16.14. CPratt W ins. In a rough-and-tumble game the Pratt quintet turned the tables on our team and nosed us out by two points, the score being 27-25. The Ryer- son street institution played a hard game and 1 many fouls were called. The shooting of the Pratt players was better than ours. ack McCaw played a fast game, caging 3 field baskets. - Poly 6169 vs. Cooper Union 6149 Poly 6259 vs. Pratt 6279 Cherr R. F. Onderdonk McCaw R.

With only a handful of rooters to cheer the Poly team on, the quintet played a hard and clean game against the Crescent A. C. team on the latter's court. Our team was taking the measure of the New Moon veterans when Specht was taken out of the game. A little later, in a clash with Butler, AP, Stewart received- an injured ankle and was taken out. With a hard spurt, the Crescent team tallied three goals before the Whistle blew. Jack', McCaw was in fine shape and played a verv fast game, caging 3 iield goals and 5 from the foul line. Poly Dejtats Sailors. The Poly five snowed under the Bensonhurst Naval Reserve team by 44-23. Specht caged 11 baskets. Al- though the Naval team was composed of college stars, the teamwork was poor. Hildebrand was put in the second half and displayed iine form. Lafzyette Loses Close Game. The speedy aggregation from Easton put up a game iight on December 20, and the tinc shooting of the Lafayette men kept the score close. Specht scored 9 baskets in this game and Stewart five Held and four foul goals. Dartmouth is Smotbereat The Dartmouth team was completely smothered by an avalanche of goals on December 29. The New Hamp- shire iive was not up to standard the entire season. The Poly combination ot Specht, Hildebrand, Kessler, Tanz and Stewart proved very efective. Poly 1255 vs. Crescent A.

Poly Continued her winning streak by defeating a strong team from Seton Hall by 38 to 26. The outcome seemed doubtful up to the last few minutes. CPoly W ins rom Columbia. For the first time in many years the Blue and Gray defeated the Columbia quintet at Morningside Heights. The game was close and Poly played in fine form, the defense work being admirable. Pratt Takes Second Game. This is one of the games everyone likes to forget. Final score, 32-27 in favor of Pratt. Let it be known that in the neighborhoodof 30 fouls were called. Nough said. ' 4 We Swamp Penn Military ana' Drexel on Trip. - The trip this year was curtailed, partly as a patriotic move in helping to minimize railroad travel and partly in an effort to keep expenses down. Wednesday, January 23, found the team at Philadelphia. The first game of the trip occurred that afternoon. We completely routed Penn Military College at Chester in a game that was pie for our men.

The team played at top speed thruout and Drexel never could get to Within sighting distance of the lead. The score again was overwhelm- ingly in our favor, 58-34.1 There was a different story to tell when our men travelled to Allentown on Friday to play the U. S. Ambulance Corps quintet. The ambulance men were heavy and played a rough game in which they made their weight felt. Specht got into the way of one of the drivers and after the collision he was unable to continue. The final score was 41 to 32, with the smaller tally credited to Poly. ' Specht was unable to play in the Lafayette game the next day, and his absence proved too heavy a handicap for the team to overcome. The Easton men turned the tables on us this time in a fast and exciting game. The end showed 28 points for Lafayette against 17 for Poly. The trip ended here. On Sunday the team arrived home, tired but satisfied. Drexel had been vanquished, a worthy feat. In the other games the team had played Well and had made a good impression. Varsity Sinks 2nd Naval Battalion. We tallied our ninth victory by defeating the Second Naval Battalion five. Specht made a record by caging 12 baskets, Hildebrand tallied G3 final score 53-38 in our favor.

Poly started on its slump by losing a well-fought ga.me to Seton Hall at Newark. The strong Orange' team generally carries away the bacon on the home court, and ' , this season was no exception. , Exciting Game Goes to Crescent A C. This proved to be a feature game. The crack Crescent quintet took a decided lead early in the game, but could not withstand, the onslaught of Poly coming back. In the second half it seemeddasif our men would take the lead, but the Whistle saved the New Mooners. As it was, We scored more points than they in the second half, and felt quite proud of the showing made against a team that had won seventeen straight games. ATHLETICS We Win Again jqoin Zncl Naval Battalion. In this game the Poly brains outwitted the Sailors, r who were carefully guarding Specht. Our men fed the ball to Hildebrand who starred by shooting 6 baskets. The naval team angered by this success tried hard to come back in the secand half, but it was too late. Score, 42 to 33 in our favor. G Stevens Takes Our Measure. With half the varsity team we made a poor showing against the Castle Point quintet, contrary to expecta- tions.

Kessler was the star of this game, caging 3 Held goals, and preventing his man from scoring any points. Kurtzman and Cherr played fine defensive games. BASKETBALL MANAGERS The management of the basket- ball team this year has been excep- tionally good. Let us introduce smiling Julian Alcalde, varsity bas- ketball manager, and serious Elmer Goodale, assistant manager. This is just the combination that's sure to win. - Manager Al has put in a lot of good time and hard Work in his ef- fort to steer this year's team thru a season successful from both the athletic and financial Viewpoints. But then, Al puts in a lot of hard Work on everything he goes into. Since the time he arrived here from Lafayette as a Freshman, he has been Working hard-for Poly. Dur- ing his first two years here, he re- organized the Mandolin and Glee Clubs, being president of both, and at the same time was assistant busi- ness manager of the Reporter , As a Junior, Al was business manager of the PolyWog and, altho an excellent student, he Jeopardized his graduation by per- forming the immense amount of Work necessary to make the publi- 156 .1 Manager Alcalde. cation successful. Alcalde's election as manager of the basketball team is an index of what the student body thinks of his ability and spirit. Still more recently he has been made Business Manager of the Engineer , which demonstrates the fact that good Work is appreciated. Goodale has thruout been an able assistant to Alcalde and a great part of the success of the team be- longs to him. VVe confidently expect to hear of big things from him next year.

'ff ' Sophs Cut-Rush Freshmen The annual rope-rush staged by the lower classes on Friday, September, 28, in the gymansium, resulted in a victory for the Sophomores, the yearlings having 26 hands on the rope against 24 Freshman pawsn The usual courtesies of dress were exchanged by the actors, the veterans adopting a Hula-Hula effect set off by green camouflage, the Freshies encircling their swanlike limbs with tape. Quantities of rare oils incensed the rivals. Greed for the precious material, hemp, was engrained in the features of the Spartans as they were formally introduced across the battle-site. At the signal, there leaped forth two straining masses which met fairly midway. The hemp had long disappeared. In place was a seething mound. Squirming bodies twisted and groaned in supreme effort to clinch the unseen strand, now encased in human flesh. Those whose only thoughts had been to get their hands on the rope, now painfully realized the presence of multitudes of feet, knees, elbows, and teeth. Unwary legs projecting in air were easy meat for young stalwarts, who seized the extremities of the unwise victims and applied the torture of the rack with artful twists. Primitive instincts prompted these highly cultured beings .... And when it was all over, the Freshmen had fought well, but not well enough. The Sophs had out-grasped the Freshmen. ' Sophs Outpoint Freshmen in Thanksgiving Scraps The annual Thanksgiving scraps between the two lower classes were held in the gymnasium on Wednesday, November 24, and resulted in a draw, with the score 3 to 3. Following the scraps two tugs of war were easily won by the Sophomore lightweight and heavweight teams. For the first time in many years the cane-spreeing events were omitted. To inspire the noble warriors, the onlooking cohorts practiced a few -cheers and the young ones, moved by some aesthetic emotion, even indulged in song. . - The first event, lightweight wrestling, was-full of pep, both men being pretty evenly matched. It took two minutes and forty-six seconds for the Freshman to win the first poi nt of the tourney. A Stenberg, '20, showed skill in wrestling, flooring his opponent's shoulders with a half-Nelson and leg hold in 31.5 seconds. A The boxing bouts were as usual up to standard,-no science, just a mixture of playful tapping and heavy slugging. Offen, '20, and Schneider, '21, boxing middleweight, exhibited the latest steps and were encored for a further display. A The heavyweight boxing was a crime. The husky Sophomore must have thought he had a Hun against him. At any rate, not satisfied with knocking his man out once, he unmercifully finished the game FYQSHHIPL11 111 the SGCOHG round. This tied the score of the scraps. 1 , u u . - The tu S of war were in every sense walk-aways . The Sophs uprooted the Freshies without any hesitation. S And so the Sophs claimed the day.

Poly has answered the demand. of the government for trained engineers by the institution of a course in Radio Communication and Signal Engineering, given under the supervision of the Signal Corps of the United States Army. When the United States realized the need of this kind of engineer, it turned to the American technical schools for assistance. The results were gratifying. Throughout the country the colleges placed at the disposal of the War Department their laboratories and apparatus. A consultation was held at the Capital in January of this year, at which were representatives of all the universities and technical colleges in the East.- Poly was represented by Dr. Sheldon, chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering. Plans were formulated and the work to be accomplished set forth. The course was planned to cover one semester. At the end of this time, those who pass may be permitted, to take examinations for commissions in the United States Signal Corps. It was decided that all senior students in Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering should be eligible to enroll. ' 163 4 in Upon his return from Washington, Dr. Sheldon immediately set about organizing the course at Poly. The work consists of lectures, recitations, laboratory and code practice. Dr. Sheldon lectures on the Storage Battery and the Electron Theory 5 while the theory and use of the Vacuum Tube is being p1'esented to the students by Dr. Wold, who ha.s done much along that line at the laboratories of the Western Electric Company with which he is now connected. Recitations and lectures on the theory of Radio Communication are conducted by Dr. Hausmann. Mr. Edward W. Tree, instructor in the Electrical Laboratory supervises the worl' in tl I . I.. ' t , X ie rrroia tory and Mr. Grosvenor Hotchkiss, assistant to Dr. Hausman, directs the class in code? To meet the demands of the-new course, the Electrical Engineering Laboratory has been extended to include a Radio Laboratory. This is located on the third floor of the Administration Building. Here all testing experimenta- tion and code Work are done. The course has already become one of the most popular at Pol ' . l ' atc l 4 I a permanent part of the curriculum. 3 'inc ieques s rare teen made-to continue it as The following students have enrolled: W.

The lecture was a most interesting one, A A A A . and dealt with familiar c-ritical points in the short history of our young republic.- Dr. Fay told many anecdotes to illustrate how Americans met these crises. His tallg proved that President Whitmore 165 NX .

On December 7, a large audience had the privilege of listening to the oldest Dr. Rossiter W. Raymond Poly alumnus, Dr. Rossiter W. Raymond, who spoke on the life and career of Herbert C. Hoover. Dr. Raymond 'graduated from the Institute in 1858, and later received the degree of Ph.D. from Lafayette, and that of LL.D. from Lehigh. The Emperor of Japan bestowed upon him for services rendered the degree of the 'fOrder of the Risin Sun? 8 Dr. Raymond is familiar with the life of Hoover. Being a personal friend of the food dictator, he was able to throw interesting sidelights on the career of the famous engineer. Dr. Raymond traced the life of Hoover from the time uhcn h , f ' ' f - e ran au ay to college up to the time when a phenomenal rise placed him as dictator to a nation. The lecturer told what Hoover did as mining engineer in Japan how he h l d t . 7 . . , epe s randed Americans in London, and how hc and his forty companion engineers Worked in the relief of wrecked Belgium. A pastor in khaki uniform addressed the L b C V D eague mem ers at the meeting of Dr. Nehemiah Boynton December 13. Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, formerly pastor of the Clinton Avenue g .

Dr. Boynton Went into a thorough discussion ot the meaning of Democracy, tracing the growth and the establishment of this 'cFundamental. American Ideal. In conclusion, a plea was made for a fight until victory is achieved. . On the day before the Christmas vacation, Lieutenant William J. Berry paid Lieutenant Wm. J. Berry Poly a short visit, and addressed thestudent body on the subject of American l u . i g H Army Cantonmentsf' The former Associate Professor of Mathematics told several amusing iiicidents in the -life at the Camp Upton cantonment. He described the Work accomplished there with the WW 1'9CliU1fS, and SP0liC hlghly of the men who make up the drafted armv. Prof. Berry expressed the o inion that the National Army would b ' f ' ' ' P e a great factor in wielding our nation into one spirit of loyalty and devotion. 166 .- 51, . . .POLY 3 Woe '18 1 . y Lieutenant Berry was followed by Lieutenant Edward A. Munger, who on Lieutenant Edward A. Manger January. 31 told more of Camp Upton, laying special stress on the Signal Corps . . work, with which he is connected. Lieut. Munger 'brought with him a number of slides, which showed the progress that was being made at Yaphank, and illustrated the construction of the camp. The oflicer told how roads were built, houses put up, and soldiers created out 'of civilians. Pictures were shown of itll ithe points of interest in Camp Upton, including the Post Office building, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. en s. . At the next meeting of the League held on February 8, Dr. Frederick F. Dr. Frederick F. Shannon Shannon, pastor of the Reform Church-on-the-Heights, delivered a stirring lecture . on The Soul of America, What She Stands For and the Motive for Which She has Entered the War. This was principally a resume of the reasons for America's entrance into the world conflict. According to Dr. Shannon these reasons were, Our belief in American principles as stated by the Revolutionary fathers, our conviction that each nation had the right to be allowed to make its full contribution to the civilization of the world, our sympathy for small nations and our belief in their right to live their own lives, and our firm opinion that The State is for the People, and not the People for the State. 'On February 21, Poly heard what war Work the Massachusetts Institute of Prof. Charles M. Spoiford Technology was doing from one of the professors of M. I. T. Professor Charles M. Spoiford is now head of its Civil Engineering Department. He also laid the foundation of Poly's Civil Engineering Department. In his talk, Prof. Spoiord went into detail, telling how his institution had co-operated with the Government, and how training schools had been established on the college grounds. These schools were training men for aerial and naval service. Prof. Spofford also said that men were being graduated in April, because of the War condition. For the same cause, school' courses would be run at M. I. T. during the summer. ' The prominent' Socialist, Dr. J. G. Phelps Stokes, told the Poly men Why the Dr. J. G. Phelps Stokes Socialist Should Support the Warj' on March.20. Dr. Stolres himself is anardent . supporter of the national administration, having severed his connections with the Socialist Party because of ,its stand against the war. In his talk, Dr. Stokes toldlof the attitude against the admin- istration which the Party was taking and of the consequent decrease in membership because of this. I-Ie denounced this stand, and characterized it as a repudiation of the cause of Democracy. p vThe talk was concluded with a plea that we 'foffer a united front for the holy cause in which this nation is engaged. y ' 167 AM NGs MORTALS The College Clafsroom The 'man who A always answers r i g h t vw h e n m o s t o f A t h e class have failed on the ques- tion.

These are serious times and the real Poly man studies and Works With a View to fitting himself for the Service. It is therefore our hope that now the Polywog Will assume the position of a chronicle which connects a kind and happy past with an uncertain and perhaps unhappy future. lf, in this light, the book does bring back, in days which are to come, recollections of what Poly meant -and what Poly was 5 if, in future years of strife and struggle, it reawakens thoughts of a time when body Was young and blood flowed fast, if it relieves the mind only for a few moments with dreams of happier days, then our aims will have been accomplished and We will feel amply repaid for our effort and our labor. K To Miss Sherburne, the Assistant Registrar, the Board Wishes to extend its hearty thanks. She has been, on all occasions, a great help and a sure source of' good, friendly advice. To Mr. Rosenberg ofthe Brown Agency, for his courtesy and helpful co-operation in producing the book, the Board is sincerely grateful. To many others, both among faculty and student body, who with sincere encouragement or actual contribution have been of invaluable aid, the Staff gives its profound gratitude. We are sure that they too Will feel their best reward in the good the book does the Institute. Q , 176 ggi? DGLY wot?
