Me aay ISTISE SYST ZF 4 Pisa a Crustee’s Greeting A In these times of readjustment and uncertainty through which we are living I have found considerable satisfaction in holding on to at 3 34 one of the wisest and most fundamental of our Founder’s sayings: “Work is the essential part of life and nothing worth having comes without it. Everything costs something in effort or discipline or sacrifice. Health comes from habits of right living, and that means restraint; wealth comes BV VP3 from persistence and energy, and that means labor; education comes from application and industry, and that Sy A means discipline; happiness comes from consideration of others, and that means unselfishness.”’ Re ibe | ht = iy | The gist of it is contained in the second sentence: “Everything costs something in effort or discipline or sacrifice.”’ i At a We inherit our bodies, our minds, and our souls. Nothing else of value comes except through the using of these in some kind of . t VY effort. Weare all forced to do something with our natural gifts even to exist, and no satisfying life can ever be lived without the constant Fs struggle. It may be an external struggle for food, clothing, or shelter, or it may be an internal struggle to raise ourselves to a higher ANS LE | level of life and usefulness. Nature, even in the tropics where food seems to be without price or effort, never produces her best or fullest aN Al AS: without man’s assistance, and without this effort on his part man degenerates of the animal. SV heat we What we all want and should have—and do have in this country to a greater degree than anywhere else—is equal opportunities in eit [|] our religious, social, political, and industrial life. But opportunity will count but little if we do not use our individual gifts, whatever . Fi ae they may be, in some kind of effort or discipline or sacrifice. fo Nt FREDERIC B. PRATT.

DPR _ 5 —7) oe BN “Soe Director's Greetings To the Members oy the Graduating Classes oy 1919: I esteem ita privilege to have this opportunity to extend to you on behalf of Pratt Institute and its School of Science and Technology most sincere-and cordial greetings. The Institute has prepared you well’to go forward efficiently upon careers of your choosing. You have acquired a technical training of proved worth, thorough-going and comprehensive, upon which you may rely with confidence as you now assume your places in this country’s industries. Yet well as this training will serve you, it can hardly carry you to ultimate success unless supplemented as you go onward, by spare time study of subjects relating to your vocation and by a continually deepening and broadening extension of your general education. No man’s education is ever finished. It dwindles unless it expends, because it cannot remain unchanging. Observation of successful men commonly reveals that their education, however unconventional the method of its attainment, has been a continuous development throughout their lives. The important thing is not the amount of education a man has when he leaves school, but rather the rate at which he develops thereafter. I would emphasize therefore the wisdom of beginning at once to attend carefully to your further intellectual and professional growth. It will shortly be your privilege to enter into full fellowship with a large and well-organized body of Pratt men, numbering some two thousand graduates of the courses which you represent. The interests of this School and of its Alumni Association are inseparable. The benefits which will accrue to you as members of this influential body will depend upon the extent to which you actively affiliate yourself with it. Active support.of your Alumni Association includes the payment of its annual dues, subscription to ‘‘News-Ology,”’ attendance at the annual reunions whenever possible, and a favorable response to such other calls as the Association may make upon you from time to time. Upon you as students Pratt Institute has earnestly impressed its ideals and standards. The honor and reputation of the Institute are now yours to safeguard. As Director of your School I would enjoin upon you to carry with you throughout your careers henceforth the same spirit of loyalty to the Institute that has marked your attitude as students. Personally, I shall ever have a warm regard for your welfare and progress, and my good wishes go with you. SAMUEL S. EDMANDS.

What is our attitude going to be? It does not matter so much to the world as it does to us. During the ‘ial | Seats past two years we have been taught to be constructive. Shall we not help to put away the work of destruction? With our educational 9 advantages we have the opportunities to lead. Why not try to be helpers of men—not destroyers? Whigs . The world is full of men who resolve, but who do nothing. They are fertile in brilliant ideals, but sterile in accomplishment. The FS ase efficient man is the man who sees the ideal, and devises ways and means for its attainment. His resolution goes through and the end is BFS the realization of his ideal.

In the early days of his life he worked hard on the farm and had very little schooling. When thirteen years of age he was a clerk in a grocery store, but he soon left this position and learned the machinist’s trade. At the age of eighteen he had saved enough money to start him in Wilbraham Academy near Spring- field, Mass. Here he studied hard for two or three winters, making many sacrifices in his efforts to se- cure an education. In 1851 he came to New York, taking a position as clerk in an oil and paint store and soon became a partner in the business. Later the concern divided and Mr. Pratt took over the oil interests, establishing the firm of Charles Pratt and Company, having its refinery in Brooklyn. Mr. Pratt was one of the first to realize the value of the oil fields in Pennsylvania and the best illuminating oil came from his refinery which still exists. The success of the business naturally led to Mr. Pratt’s association with the Standard Oil Company at its inception. Realizing his own difficulties in obtaining an education he resolved to provide a means of ed- ucation for young men and women whose previous schooling had been very limited. He gave liberally to many institutions. For many years he was a trustee of Adelphi Academy and later erected a large building for the College. Mr. Pratt liberally assisted Amherst College, the University of Rochester, the Public Library of Watertown, Mass. and the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities. Having a great democratic interest in those with limited means he erected in Greenpoint a model apartment house called the ‘Astral’. Here, in general rooms for entertainment and instruction, the students of Pratt Institute have since helped to carry out the ideals of the founder through the Neighborhood Association. Mr. Pratt was a zealous church member and was seldom missing from his pew in the Emanuel Baptist Church in Brooklyn where he proved a great help to the church. Mr. Pratt’s great interest in education led him to visit institutions of learning, far and wide. With his private secretary, Mr. Heffley, he in- spected the many schools of New England, France, England, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and even India. After his return he outlined the fundamental ideals of Pratt Institute. Tne pur- pose of Mr. Pratt was to provide courses of train- ing in those subjects which were not so thoroughly covered in other institutions. His main idea was to establish an institution for vocational and trade work and so help all classes of people. With the idea of giving everyone a chance, he se- cured a large piece of land where Pratt Institute now stands and began the erection of a six story building On October 19, 1887, this building had been completed and the first class of twelve students in drawing, began its work under the instruction of Mr. Walter S. Perry. Up to this time Mr. Pratt had kept most of his ideas to himself, but now, when the people heard of his proposed pioneer work, the idea was received with a great deal of criticism and ridicule. However, he firmly believed his plan would F oarleen op Ne SSS es Wt : INS PS SS Sas 7 c— - a 2 � stil an yo ve — ae ra A tA ey J ' 1 - ] NYVIZ ORACLE SAS | TAN WY VRS i? ty t ; Wb WALA Nps, SAH buea? | NAA hee DO Aes, ; f A SAV A ry Ee CVE-A j MV VT 2G) | ah fa, J} p dg 5 wa . jm . ye one igid Oe ae a a 2 — ™, P - ays L TAT CON SS re a see Ss ee = be successful and worked all the harder on his enterprise. Classes had hardly been started when the Institute was opened one evening to visitors, and at this time Mr. Pratt showed the public how the school was helping the students to help themselves. Evening classes were then started and have since grown in numbers until they now enroll more than two thousand students annually. A women’s department was soon opened which developed into the School of Household Science and Arts. Early in 1888 a library was started in the Main Building. This grew, until in 1896 the present Pratt Library was built which now contains 120,000 volumes. The Kindergarten School was first started in the Rest House, and continued in the Women’s Club until the erection of the Kindergarten Building in 1901. In the early days of the Institute a Manual Training High School was started to show the country the value of manual training in the high school course. Having accomplished this purpose the course was dis- continued in 1905 when the city of Brooklyn built a large Manual Training High School. In 1888 a commercial department was established under Mr- In 1905 Mr. Heffley took direct charge of this department in the present building of the Heffley Institute. To inculcate habits of thrift among those in the Institute and incidentally in the community, Mr. Pratt established The Thrift. This has grown until to-day it has total assets amounting to over Norman Heffley, Mr. Pratt’s Secretary. six million dollars. In 1888 Mr. Charles R. Richards became the first director of the School of Science and Technology. At this time the present gym- nasium was used as a trade school and the forge and foundry occupied the court yard on Grand Avenue. The machine shop occupied the first floor of the S. and T. building and the carpenter shop the second floor. The Electrical Building at first had only two floors, the lower consisting of the steam and electricity laboratory with plumbing and sign and fresco painting on the second floor. In 1894 the first Mechanical class was graduated and in 1898 the first Electrical class. In 1900 two more floors were added to the Electrical Building making additional space for class rooms and laboratory work. In 1905 the Chemistry Building was finished and ready for occupancy. The carpenter shop was then moved to the basement of this building, and the machine shop was extended to occupy both the first and second floors of the S. and T. Buildings. At this time the Men’s Club opened and has since done much to promote the social life of the Institute. The first class in Chemistry was graduated in 1807. The land between Grand Avenue and Steuben Street which had pre- viously been used for an athletic field was then leveled off and tennis courts were laid out. A large plot of land farther North between Steuben Street and Emerson Place was acquired and transformed into an athletic field. In 1914 the Machinery Building was erected. The machine shop was then moved to the first floor and the carpentry shop to the second. A tannery was then established in the basement of the Chemistry Building. The forge shop was changed to the basement of the Machinery Building and the upper floor was used by the foundry where a two-ton cupola was set up. The grounds formerly covered by boiler room, forge and foundry were remodeled into a court yard. Weare all familiar with the war activities that have taken place at Pratt. How the government first sent a group of sailors to take an electrical course here, and later established an aeroplane repair shop in the S. and T., the former Thrift, and the Kindergarten buildings, for the training of army men. At the beginning of this year the government took the whole man power of the school and turned it into an army camp. Two large buildings were used for barracks and a new mess hall was started while the whole school was put upon a military basis. The signing of the armistice, however, checked this work and after a few months of military drill, Pratts’ little army and navy were demobilized and the school once more Fifteen : vy agi 7 2 =f ; ; it As ¥ ¥ ; WV ES | ; | Os, o Fe gr — ‘e tr na ed Tan “w Sst ae =O ee Me Te � — - 0 5 4 ; “ Oe a 4 “ee i +S fp apes Z R ae SY} returned to its normal routine. To-day Pratt Institute stands as one sly 2 AS of the finest technical institutions of its kind. It has twelve buildings grouped conveniently together and a total enrollment of over four thousand annually.

There are many all over the world who look back and find their success has been largely due to their training and to the ideals received while at Pratt Institute. The death of Mr. Charles Pratt came long before the Institute had fulfilled its intended purposes. He left the school well under way, to the care of his sons who, through their untiring efforts, keen interest, and generous support have so nobly carried out the ideals of the founder. Special credit is due to Mr. Frederic B. Pratt, who, as Secretary of the Institute, has devoted his entire time and services to the success of Pratt Institute. CHESTER H. SMITH, EDWARD R. MANNING.

Less than two short years ago the M. I. | Class of 1919 entered upon its new work at Pratt. Looking back to the opening day, we recall that morning as we waited in the corridor of the Chemistry Building to be assigned to our separate sections and class rooms. Some of us were sent to Mr. Fenninger and those that did not get lost listened eagerly when he told us therewere no “‘Profs”’ an Leo at Pratt. We then went to 16-C, the class room we will never forget, SN ee and Mr. Marsh explained his method of teaching technical mathe- matics which he said was quite different from that which had been taught him in the days of ’76! He also read the Attendance Regulations but even before he had finished, we all Nee decided to attend classes every day and be in our seats when the - bell rang. The novelty of the first week soon wore off and we found ourselves organized and down to business. The instructions received during the year in the shops proved to be of much value as well as the class room work. In the Foundry Mr. Rathbone taught us how to make moulds and John showed us how to apply the modern methods of cleaning the cupola. The instructions Mr. Saylor gave in his class room on pattern making were very helpful but our lives were constantly in danger as whatever he had in his hand went V¥2 flying across the room when someone forgot to pay attention. ; Mr. Hillyer, who liked to see us grow strong, taught the use of the oF sledge in the Forge Shop. Work in the Drawing Room developed some good draftsmen, due, incidentally, to Anson Weston Smith and We Mr. Heyman. It was about our third week here when we were very fortunate, being invited as a class, to a smoker given by the second year M. I. 3 class. The evening was well spent making new acquaintances with | | both upper classmen and instructors. June come altogether too TE soon and our farewell to the graduating class, in the form of a SN LP smoker and a trip to Coney Island, finished the year. SS Upon returning to school after the summer vacation we found a conditions at the Institute somewhat upset due to the organizing of LE the S. A. T. C. The enrollment of the class had greatly decreased TIS owing to the number of enlistments. It is true our ranks were somewhat thinned, but, like the noble ‘Six Hundred’’, we went — AC : IY YA TT WV NYY NYE | NYY Se SR = Se VIQTD ICSF LLIN C Wy ‘Of WU N05 NZL IN UES Uy IRs aN PES PISA VR RIC DG DoS Sor 4 NIG EZ | DA’ VFL A es EW We Dox, — aw NS History SJndustrial Mechanical Engineering, 1919 valiantly onward, ours not to reason why, ours but to “carry on”’. So the activities of the class were suspended until the winter term which found us again on a civilian basis with a renewal of the old spirit and a re-election of the governing body. Our work at this time became more interesting and, with Mr. Kottcamp at the head of our department, we learned considerable about steam and gas engines though we did often sit with our mouths wide open. The perfection of the power plants that we designed was due to the instructions of Mr. Lindsay, though Mr. Powers helped us with the layout of the switchboard and electrical connections. In the Machine Shop Mr. Burley taught us how to operate lathes and milling machines and some of the more brilliant members of the class succeeded in cutting a gear with the right number of teeth on it. The instruction in mathematics was continued by Mr. Marsh and after chasing the locus of an equation to various corners of the universe, we found that analytics was not so bad, after all. We were well represented in athletics but were unfortunate in that we won no championships. Perhaps it was due to the fact that Mechanical Engineering requires brains and a great amountof study- ing not allowing time for sports. However, the class turned out the assistant manager of the Varsity Basketball Team and two of its best players, one being Captain during his second year. The organiz- ing of the Mechanical Engineers’ Association is one of the things of which we are proud. We made a numberof trips to power plants and industrial concerns in Brooklyn and New York, all of which proved very interesting and educative. Last but not least, came the class dance. The first year class was invited and the occasion was enjoyed by everyone. We are now fast approaching the end of our life at this school and, though we all will welcome our diplomas, Commencement Day will come too soon. It is with deep regret that we part from this scene of so many pleasant memories, but in years to come when we look back on the days gone by, the lasting asssociation and ties of friendship formed here will help us to remember these two years as the stepping stone to all the success reached by the members of this Industrial Mechanical Engineering Class of 1919.

H. Scott, President; Mr. F. J. Schaeffer, Vice-President; Mr. F. L. Jacobus, Secretary. To the untiring efforts of these officers the success of the work of the organization for the current year is especially due. The general guidance of the conduct of the work, more partic- ularly in an advisory and consulting capacity has been taken by Mr. W. E. Lindsay, Instructor in Machine Design. The following lectures were delivered: Among the many activities and privileges that form a part of the student life, with particular reference to the class in Indus- trial Mechanical Engineering, one of the most important and valu- able is the Mechanical Engineering Association. Primarily the aim and purpose of this organization, is to give to each stu- dent an opportunity to get some practical experience in conducting public meetings in accordance with established rules of parlia- mentary practice and to acquire a degree of ease in speaking in public. In addition to the latter each student also is given a chance to get experience in the preparation of papers and the securing of data from the numerous available sources at his command and put- ting them into such shape that they will make interesting reading. Each student in the class is required to be an active member and to take his turn in the presentation of papers or in opening and conducting the meetings: During the present year the meetings have been held weekly since the beginning of the winter term and the results have been particularly successful. Joint meetings have been held on several occasions, with the similar organizations of other classes at which speakers not associated with the Institute, gave lectures upon topics having especial interest for the student in engineering. In most instances these lectures were illustrated with lantern slides which served to show just what is being done in actual practice. Many of the student speakers used with excellent effect, their ability to make free-hand, perspective and other sketches with crayon upon the black-board to illustrate their talks. One of the methods employed during the present year to accom- plish the purpose of the organization was to have the several actions in the conduct of each meeting, criticised openly and reasons given for the exceptions taken. This action was received with the greatest good nature and to such purpose that in a comparatively short while, the necessity for making criticism became, practically, un- necessary and was, in fact, abandoned. On the whole the present organization has made a record that in many respects, will stand as a model, to succeeding classes. Thirly Name C. T. Appleton, H. H. Johnston, S. Vernet, A. C. Stratton, H.

INN ed Peete! rr’ a JEMeS dhe CS eS History Jndustrial Electrical Engineering, 1919 In the ancient days of September 1917, Ryerson Street in the neighborhood ‘of Pratt, appeared as the main thorofare of Brooklyn. Groups of ambitious workers were seen about the buildings in search of room 14-C. Sign posts were needed but none found. ‘‘Period”’ Libby volunteered to lead but was soon lost, later found in the coal hole on Grand Avenue. After listening to a series of lectures by the ‘‘Profs’’, we resolved to attempt the seemingly impossible course. Things were soon started under the leadership of Bert Bremner. Nelsen was appointed class “Tax Collector.’’ Phillips took notes on class doings. ‘“‘Pete’’ Wassell starts Soccer with a vim. Pratt Church is found. Work begins to slacken, too many apple problems queer physics. Mr. Marlatt tries to renew interest with psychology talks, consequently less math. ‘Mickey’ LaBarr starts tennis with “Bunk” Underhill as a side partner. ‘Port Hole’? Hyde kept in reserve. Lots of fun in Chemistry Lab. Renz invents a new ex- plosive, tries it on his hand and surrenders. Mr. Bivins, disgusted, tells how to commit suicide. Duckworth tries it with chlorine gas, almost succeeds. Vocal cords strained in drawing, Smith’s quartet responsible. Mr. Heyman and ‘“‘Mickey”’ agree to disagree. Zeidler also gets in trouble. Captain Wassell kicks at Basket-Ball team (too many games lost) resigns, general strike, reelected. As a carpenter Louie Hyde proves a butcher. Under Van's careful guidance he cuts a steak off his hand. Miss Baker starts sparks flying in the lab, finishes the one amp. ammeter and numerous fuses. Many fellows test the Prony Brake but only take a shower. Pratt ‘‘Beanies’’ appear everywhere, E. E. men wear them to all classes. All get together at a class smoker and have a good time. Great enthusiasm shown at E. E. Dance, everyone feels the life in electricity.’ First year ends with scorching hot weather and all rejoice. when final exams are over. ok Ba After three months of recreation most of the old crew returned to the good ship Pratt. The first two weeks were spent in digging up High School credentials, and signing up for Uncle Sam’s service. Soon the “‘Gob”’ suit appeared in class, followed by the Army Khaki. Several members were found missing from the ranks, but reinforce- ments arrived from an unexpected quarter commanded by Lieu- tenant Evans. Tom Jeffery took the President’s chair, and Louis Hyde was made secretary. Nelsen again handled our spare change. Room 31 E was at once adopted as our sleeping quarters. Smith’s snores were often heard. Electrical association started and interesting talks rendered. At the class smoker Fox and Hussey gave us a four round boxing match. Great sport in electrical lab, ‘‘Mickey”’ starts off with a bang. Standard voltmeter shot. Wassell follows suit (110 on 3 volt scale). Steinmetz Bruslavsky wrecks a Wattmeter. Mr. Miller demonstrates the right hand rule from the top of the switchboard. “Oh, what a bunch of engineers’. The girls in the next building hold our atten- tion during write-up period. The design period might be better named the recreation period. Our imaginations are turned toward the infinite realm by Mr. Davis. Too deep for Phil Miller, trouble ensues. Instructors are sometimes late at 31-E, but it is advisable to be on time for Machine Work. Dooling leads the “Pink Slip” parade for the benefit of Mr. Burley. The Basket-Ball Team with Kid Libby as Captain drives hard for the championship, losing only two games. Assignment for Easter vacation by Mr. Mudge, “‘One good time.”” (A real sport)! Spring term begins with studious resolutions, only to be broken. Spring fever gets us all, no work and more play. Call for Base Ball fast team gets under way. Class moves to Steam Lab. Mr. Davis starts an after school math-class. ‘Pete’? Wassell has a brilliant idea. Class tries early morning math,—bed proves too attractive for some. Combined E. E. Dance a big success. Many electrical effects displayed by the live wires of the class. ‘‘Horse Power’? Miller takes the crew to Schnectady. Escorted thru the G. E. Works by P. I. Graduates. Trip was enjoyed by everyone and afforded an appropriate ending to our days at old P. I. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to both our first and second year instructors, and to the officers of the Institute, who, thru their untiring efforts, have lifted us thus far thru life. ee ae ad — ° 4 } ’ oe NY y} 4 : ‘i ‘y) oh tm 7.) ™ Pye “AA .

All meetings are held outside of school hours in the Institute classrooms or Assembly Hall. Attendance is not compulsory and the entire program is conducted by the students. All officers are elected by the association members, and at each meeting a subject is presented by a member of the association, usually on some work with which he has become familiar thru practical experience. Several times during the year special meetings are arranged and outside speakers connected with various branches of the electric industry, are secured. These men give short lectures on the com- mercial side of the subject which are of great benefit to the association. The plan of leaving the entire organization to the students has proved very successful inasmuch as it develops several traits which. would not be brought out otherwise. Members are obliged to use personal initiative in the correct preparation and presentation of technical subjects. They also overcome the fear of speaking before an audience and develop an ability along that line. The association was founded in 1902 and during the first few years of its life consisted of both the first and second year classes in what was then known as Applied Electricity. However, many of the subjects which were presented by the second year men were too far in advance of the work being done in the first year classes. Asa result the first year men began to lose interest in the meetings. In 1906 the constitution was amended, allowing only second year stu- dents to become members of the association. This proved to be more satisfactory and the interest of the members immediately increased, --as was shown in the year 1907-1908, which was one of the most successful years of the association. In the following years the good work continued and remarkable progress was made until now the Electrical Association holds a permanent and important place in the student activities of the electrical class. When the present class returned in September 1918 it was apparent that the effects of the World War had reached into the life of the school. A feeling of uncertainty prevailed and it was next to impossible to promote outside organizations, as a great part of the student’s time was occupied by the military activities of the schoo}. These conditions existed until the signing of the armistice. At the beginning of the second term some progress in organization was made and officers elected as follows: President, F. A. Wassel: Vice-Presi- dent, J. A. Morris; Secretary and Treasurer, C. H. Smith. Mr. H. P. Miller acted as advisor. In spite of the late start eight meetings were held, one of which was a joint meeting with the Mechanical Association. The topics presented were as follows: Mr. Powers Mr. Fenniger Mr. Schneider Mr. Fox Mr. Underhill Mr. Fenniger Radio Telegraphy . ; : ; ; Choosing A Motor for Various Shop Machines .

The instructor in charge, Mr. Ballou, gave us the double O and demonstrated just what was expected of us. He caused the swelling of a few of our heads when he told us we were a picked bunch, but the heads quickly contracted when he remarked that at least five hours studying each night would be found necessary; and that one absence from recitation without a good reason was sufficient cause for “busting’’ a student, incidently remarking that the Institute would not necessarily close down because of the loss of a few students. Having thus lightened our future, he proceeded to point out just what he expected of us in mathematics. He exhibited some work books of former students, which in our minds were remarkable productions but he quickly chased away all signs of joy by remarking that if any of us fellows attempted to hand in such junk as that they would ‘‘get the gate” in no time. At this, those who had paid their tuition began to feel shaky but each one consoled the other and we pulled through the first day at Pratt without a casualty. By the end of the first week, things began going great and we found that life at Pratt was not so bad after all. Not one of us will forget the many pleasant hours spent with Mr. Allen because of his whole hearted interest in us as students and future chemists. He took us through the pitfalls and pleasures of our first year in Chemistry, his many fatherly councils inspiring us to keep up the ‘‘traditions’’ of the Chemistry class and of the Institute, and his instruction gave us a stiff backbone on which to build in our second year. The mysteries of Mechanics, Electricity and Heat were solved for us by Mr. Isenberg. Force diagrams, incline planes, elevator problems, Ohm’s law, transformers, and B. T. U.s were wrestled with and sometimes cleared up in the laboratory under Mr. Fen- niger’s directions. Our rapid grasp of “Mechanical Drawing by Anson W. Smith” made necessary a change in instructors early in the year. Forge and Foundry made us get into overalls and work. Carpentry Forty-eight e o . oy ie — Ate —always a joy to Chemists; the two terms under the careful eye of Mr. Saylor left no regrets. The second year opened with several seats vacant. The S. A. T. C. took our minds off our work and also our interest for class and Institute activities. Consequently the signing of the Armistice was welcomed by all because it brought back old ideals and interests and also those fellows who had enlisted in the spring. Some of the men who had entered the'class of ’18 and enlisted before graduating were added to our number. | In spite of army life, Mr. Lafferander gave us chapter after chapter from the ‘‘Bible’’, weekly examinations, and very interesting lectures on Industrial Chemistry. He also used brave efforts to clear up our difficulties in Organic Chemistry. Soon after the begin- ning of the Winter Term Dr. Rogers came back to us. By his knowledge of industrial methods he brought the outside chemical world very close to us. The trips that he arranged benefited us in many ways and broadened our knowledge of Industrial Chemistry. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Dowd we became, in our own minds, expert analysts of water, coal, iron and steel, silicates, alloys, pigments, and foods. In athletics, the class record will compare favorable with any other class in the Institute. Basketball was the first sport we hit, and we furnished the whole team that represented the Chemistry Department in the inter-class tournament of 1917-18. The team worked its way right up to the finals and was just nosed out for the championship. Inasmuch as this was the first season the team played together the showing it made is one to be proud of. The Chemistry baseball team which was a runner-up in the champion- ship tornrament of- 1918 was made up mostly of second year men. The tennis team of the same year was entirely second year men. In the 1918 inter-class track meet, Chemistry carried off high honors, beating the nearest competitor team by more than ten points and incidently winning the half mile relay. Once again the class showed its talent by winning the Bowling trnament of 1919, proving that Chemistry men are just as good in athletics indoors as out in the open. .

The Association included both the First and Second Year Students in the day Courses in Chemistry. This union of the different classes has brought about a peculiarly close compact of the Chemistry men of the Institute. It has been a vital factor in cementing Chemistry into an effective organic unit. The object of the Association has been three fold. First, to foster good fellowship, promoting loyalty to the Institute and to the Chemistry Department, thus developing a strong Pratt Spirit. Second, to provide meetings from time to time where subjects interesting and useful to students in chemistry could be discussed by leading men in chemical industries and by the students them- selves. Third, to secure co-operation among the chemistry men in athletic activities and in social affairs. The name of the Association was selected in honor of Friedrich Wohler, a renouned chemist, born one hundred and twenty ye ars ago, whose accurate experimental work resulted in remarkable developments in the field of organic chemistry which in his time was rapidly growing in importance. He also did original work in the field of inorganic chemistry which lead to the discovering of alumi- num and the invention of commercial methods of extracting this valuable metal. The name, Wohler, was well chosen for it has ever been an inspiration to the young chemist of Pratt Institute. It is easy to trace the development of the threefold idea of the Wohler Association in its effects upon the body of Chemistry students at Pratt Institute. It is acknowledged that the implanting of that fine virtue called Pratt Spirit and the growth of loyalty in all of the men of the Chemistry Department has been developed to a remarkably high standard by the influences which the Association has exerted. The meetings have always been interesting and valuable and though voluntary have ever been loyally supported. Experts in very many branches of technical and industrial chemistry have spoken at the meetings and members of the Association who have had the advantage of industrial training have freely given to their fellow chemists the benefits of their practical experience. The result has been that the members at all times have been kept in touch with the industrial world and have been informed of the experiences of workers in the field of Chemistry. During the present year these activities of the Association have been in a measure upset by the unsettled conditions. Now that the S. A. T. C. commotions are over and the pre-war conditions are being resumed, the Wohler Chemical Association is looking confidently with renewed enthu- siasm to still higher achievements. Banded together by the Association the members of the Chemistry classes have been noted as a unit in Institute Ath- letics and in social activities. There has been no year in which the record of Chemistry in competitive athletics has not been an honorable one. Each year the smokers, the beefsteak dinners, the shows, the dances of the Wchler Association have been conducted in a manner which has warranted the enthusiastic support of Students, Alumni, and Faculty of the Chemistry Department. The officers of the Association for 1919 are: President, J. F. Walker; Vice-President, E. W. Klossner; Secretary, C. H. Saylor; Treasurer, N. Phelps. Advisor, Mr. Lafferander. Fifty-seven . — .

To the older alumni Icoking back, you are like a fleet of vessels setting sail from the good old port of Pratt for distant parts. And we picture from our own experience the scattering of your fleet as, alter having set out to sea, each takes up his own course; picture the placid and the troubled seas ahead, the ups and downs of a mariner’s life! As we welcome you, we would warn you, remind you that all responsible vessels are nowadays provided with means for keeping in touch—in touch with other vessels, and with the home port. Our interconnecting medium is the Alumni Association. It provides a means for keeping in touch. Join it, join it now and maintain contact. If there is any one phase of a graduate’s experience which stands out, it is this—the extent to which friendship and association with others helps to achieve success and happiness. In this day of co- operative effort we are constantly living in contact with others, continually making new acquaintances. Then don’t cut loose from those friends you've already made at Pratt; you cannot afford it. The Alumni Association will help you to continue in touch and,, more, to extend your acquaintance of Pratt men to those who have left port before you. To summarize—vou need us and we need you, so let us get together. And after having joined our ranks let’s hear from you Be a dynamic part of a living organization of fellowship. Honor Roll R. N.

Something you prized in its newness, Grows nearer as it grows old, And that which you thought was silver, Proves to be the purest gold. Today you are proudly displaying An emblem of red and white With a blue star in the center For a boy who has gone out to fight, And if God in His infinite wisdom, Should call him back to His fold, You will still fly your flag of crimson, With the blue star turned to gold. Oh, boys in the flush of manhood, How you answered that call to arms, How you came from the towns and cities, _ The villages and the farms! And we asked our God to keep you, To watch you and to hold, And to help us if the time comes, When our blue star turns to gold. And at night when the stars are shining We look up to the blue above, At God’s service flag in the heaven, With a star for each boy He loves. And we think of the Son He offered Way back in the days of old, Who yielded His life for others, And gained His star of gold. Oh, those service flags of crimson! How we glory in each star! How we love you boys and miss you, And how proud of you we are! And we want you to know and remember. That ’till time itself grows old, Your service flags will be treasured, With the blue stars and the gold. Stephen Henry Hurtuk Member of M. I. 717 In memory of his buddy Corporal James A. Long, A. E.: FE. Student’s Armp Training Corps Seldom is it granted to an educational institution to receive government endorsement of its courses of study. The School of Science and Technology was the recipient of this unique distinction by reason of the advent of the S. A. T. C. The nginecring cours s prescribed for the S. A T. C. by the Committee on Education and Special Training in some strange manner were almost an exact counterpart of the School’s regular mechanical, e ectrical and chemi- cal courses. When it is considered that the courses prescribed by this Committee were for the express purpose of giving men the most efficient training possible in various lines of engineering for immediate military use, the significance of the correspondence of the S. A. T. C. courses to the courses of the School which were established years ago, is striking. While the establishment of the S. A. T. C. appeared to many as an interruption in our regular work and a hindrance to our progress, directly the contrary was the fact. Inauguration of the S. A. T. C. has done more to advance every vital interest of the Institute than any other single factor in many years. It incidentally gave us a sense of satisfaction in the realization that our regular work for years past, with almost no change, was pre-eminently adapted to aid the nation and the world in time of great crisis and military necessity. The effect was stimulating and suggestive, showing the way to increased efficiency through a higher ideal of national requirements. Pratt Institute therefore rejoices in the installation of its Student Army Training Corps during the Fall term. We were made happy by an unusually choice selection of wholesome, clean, bright, patriotic fellows, desirious only of serving their country in any way which the government might dictate. The S. A. T. C. has vitalized the Pratt Institute work as no other single agency since the pro- gressive days of the Founder, Mr. Charles Pratt. It has shown usa broader and more efficient way which we are endeavoring to follow as rapidly as the necessary adjustments can be effected. It has given us a new sense of the meaning of co-operation, sericus work. good fellowship, and efficiency. It has furnished a fresh incentive for the realization of the ideal of making one’s best, habitual. Sabena $f 4 a L ; i wba ala ta ht . ; som de a - e ba ae bm Ue “ : -: Shite (iL LS Os ae CZ.

Students’ The fall term of the present year found the spirit of the students divided between the army and navy units of the Student Army Training Corps. After these units were demobilized it was noticeable that the old Pratt spirit lacked its former vitality. With this in mind, a body of students, mostly from the S. and T. School, gathered together to discuss the situation. It was found impossible to affect conditions without the co-operation of the School of Fine and Applied Arts, the School of Household Science and Arts, and the School of Library Science. Interviews with instructors and students from these schools took place directly, and in response a joint meeting of representatives from each school was held. The general sentiment of these representatives was strongly in favor of a student organization which should develop the interests of the students in all social activities. The outcome of this sentiment was the organization of a Student’s Council. At this time the membership of the organization consists of various class presidents, Council representatives from the Athletic Advisory Board, the Men’s Club, the Women’s Club and the Neighborhood Association. The first work of this Council was to develop the attendance at the Basket Ball games. A spurt was made through the entire Institute and owing to the excellent co-operation of the students, the task was well accomplished. At the close of the Basket Ball season, a Confetti Ball was run under the auspices of the Students’ Council, the proceeds of which went to the Athletic Association. The dance was well attended and proved very successful in every way. The Neighborhood Dance was also backed by this organiza tion, and proved a success. It is expected that this Council may become established as necessary for the promotion of wholesome social activities among the students of the different Schools and that it will become a per- manent organization.

AT RE a 3 Be ie DR. NEHEMIAH BOYNTON Many years ago a request came to a Min ister just arrived in Brooklyn, to conduct for a few weeks a voluntary chapel at Pratt Institute. Many colleges have daily chapel with required attendance, but it was believed that for mature young people like the students at Pratt while desirable to afford the opportunity for chapel, it was quite undesirable to require attendance. The invitation was accepted with eagerness by the Minister, Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, and to the surprise of all, the weeks lengthened into months and the months into years until the present season represents fifteen years of voluntary chapel. During the entire time, Miss Mary Hobson has presided at the piano and Mr. George D. Bartlett has been the real master of ceremonies. The influence of chapel has been of the per- vasive rather than of the panoramic order. The attendance has varied according to the pressure of surrounding conditions and especially the recent war conditions but there has always been a considerable body of students who have found in merning chapel a Chapel DR. AVERY A. SHAW grateful opportunity to refresh their sense of the eternal in these devotional moments. The object of the occasional and_ brief addresses has always been to emphasize the actuality and the timeli- ness of religion in modern life and the expressions which are con- tinually coming from Pratt graduates all over the world indicate that our chapel with its quiet and simple service has been no insignificant influence upon the lives of many who are now ir. the thick of the life battle. Perhaps a most significant influence of the Pratt chapel has been the quiet reminder of the proportions of religion and of its place essential in the very heart of life. It is a quiet factor in the busy educational life of our splendid Institute, but there are those who love it and whose lives by it, have been lifted up and strengthened. In Dr. Boynton’s absence we have been so fortunate as to have the ministrations of Dr. Shaw, pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church, of which the Founder was a life-long member.

Its home at 210 Grand Avenue contains a reading room, lounging room, billiard room, bowling alleys, lunch room, kitchen, lavatory and a hall and two smaller rooms in which meetings of clubs and com- mittees may be held. In the reading room may be found some twenty-five of the popular weekly and monthly periodicals, five morning and evening local newspapers and three from out of town. Adjoining is the lounging room comfortably furnished with upholstered arm chairs, open fire-places, piano and victrola. On the floor above are the game room, the alumni room and the billiard room. The top floor is one large room used during the noon hour as a lunch room and evenings for smokers, lectures and dances. In the basement are two bowling alleys, kitchen and lavatory. GOVERNMENT The Trustees provide a secretary for the Men’s Club, who is its executive officer. Mr. Paul Rapp has occupied this position for the past six years. We are happy to have him with us again in the social activities of the Institute. Forseven months he was away from the Institute during which time he was Sergeant in the Medical Department of the U. S. Army at Camp Upton, Trustee. PAUL RAPP N. Y. Previous to entering upon his work at Pratt in 1912 he was Assistant Secretary of the 23rd Street Y. M. C. A. Mr. Rapp is secretary of the Men’s Club, President of the Neighborship Association, and an efficient member of various other important committees. Associated with the Sec- retary is an executive com- mittee of students, and in- structors.

Of these the oldest are the Glee Club and the Orches- tras, but neither was organized this year on account of the war. Their place was to some extent taken by the Song Rallies held in the Assembly Hall under the direction of Mr. G. Waring Stebbins during the winter term. State Clubs. In recent years State and Sectional Clubs representing all parts of the country have come into existence, and in every instance they have served to bring together socially the men and women from the respective localities. The oldest of these organizations is the Southern Club which was founded in 1909. Since 1910 there have been added the Nutmeg Club (Connecticut), The New England Club (Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island), The New York State Club, the Tri-State Club (Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) and the Western Club which in 1915 combined with the Southern Club.

V2 Oe The Neiaqhborship Assoctatton Throughout the year a close connection has existed between the Men’s Club and the Neighborhood Association, Mr. Rapp serving as Secretary of the one and President of the other. The Association was founded in the early days of the Institute to provide an agency through which the students might “‘help the other fellow.” It is made up of four Chapters, one for each of the schools. Each Chapter elects its own officers and conducts its own affairs. It sends a repre- sentative to the Governing Board which administers the larger interests of the Association. On this board are represented the Trustees, the instructors and the students. During the past year Mr. Charles M. Allen of the! Chemistry Department has represented the instructors of S. T. on the board and Mr. Bradford H. Scott of Ii MIE. 719 the students. The efforts of the Association is arated chiefly toward the support of the Greenpoint Neighborhood House at 85 Java Street. This is one of the oldest social settlements in New York and is sup- ported entirely by the Neighborhood Association. Five social workers are in residence and there are as many more part time “over one hundred in the course of a year. workers besides the volunteers from Pratt Institute who number The staff for the year 1918-19 is as follows: Headworker, Miss Florence E. Clendenning Director of Men’s and Boy’s Work, Mr. Frank A. Dickey Director of Women’s and Girl’s Work, Mrs. D. Edgar Rice Director of Music School, Mrs. Blanche Hamilton Nurse, Miss Frieda Kuhn Kindergartner, Miss Edith Garretson Among the activities carried on at the Neighborhood House are classes in woodworking, sewing, dressmaking, cooking, music, English and Spanish, a kindergarten, supper clubs, dramatics, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Woman’s Club, literary and debating clubs, gymnasium and dancing classes. The Settlement has long taken the lead in all movements in Greenpoint looking to the im- provement of social conditions there. Its work is non-secrtaian, which permits it to unite elements of diverse race and creed in efforts for a better Greenpoint. pe Seventy-nine .

Eighty-two Warsity Basketball Ed The Varsity Basketball Season although opening under rather unusual conditions proved a very successful one. The team did not win the high percentage of victories won in the previous year, but nevertheless succeeded in making a splendid record, living up in every way to the traditions of Pratt Institute in this sport, winning over fifty percent of its games. With a nucleous of three from last year’s. team, the first game was played on December 14. This number was increased at the beginning of the Winter term by the return of two more to resume their courses. We were fortunate in again securing the services of Mr. E. F. Brunn as coach, and to his conscientious work much cred- itis due. The work of Captain Meyer and Manager Williams can- not be too highly commended.

The outlook for next year seems to point toward a greater variety and interest than ever in these inter-class contests. The passing.of the student petition by the trustees making the Athletic Association membership payable with the tuition will in addition to succesfully financing Varsity basket ball, contribute a very great deal toward inter-class competition. Under the proposed. plans for the coming year inter-class schedules will be conducted in the following activities, soccer foot- ball, tennis, swimming, track and field, wrestling, basket ball and base ball. | Basketball Our inter-class basketball matches were unusually interesting this year and practically all the classes managed to turn out strong well balanced teams and much good material for next years’ Varsity was discovered. The Industrial Electrical Engineers ’20 quintet won the high honors as the championship team. They had a well balanced team on which were developed several stars. Their game throughout the season was consistent and heady. Following is a summary of their season: I. Bkee20 Bl Arch. 12 Taki Z0 13 Chem. 6 I, BE. 20 29 To Mis 20-413 I.

Soe 4 he 5 tds re we tm Baseball Immediately after the close of the basketball season our thoughts are turned toward the American national sport—baseball. At the beginning of the third term, the schedule starts and it usually lasts until the last week of school. Good, hardworking teams represent the classes on the diamond each year, and much class spirit is shown in the form of yelling from the bleachers. There is certainly enough good baseball material in the school to turn out a Varsity team in this sport. We sincerely hope that the time is not far distant when Pratt will have a Varsity baseball team to represent them each year. The Athletic Association is making an effort to secure the con- sent of the Trustees in making membership in the Association obligatory for all men students in day Courses. This method of financing the affairs of athletics has become nearly universal in colleges throughout the country. It is the unanimous opinion of the students of Pratt that this plan should be adopted here. If it becomes effective, intercollegiate baseball may be revived at Pratt Institute. Soccer Until this year, soccer has always been the sport which has started the ball of athletics rolling. It is the first sport in the inter- class schedules of the year, and has always done much to promote the spirit of ‘friendly enemies’’, between the classes. In 1918 a complete schedule of soccer foot-ball was run off between the classes. Strong teams, representing the various classes, were on the field, and much interest and spirit was shown by the supporters of this out-door sport. : This year, however, soccer had to be dropped from the schedule of athletics, owing to the military routine of the S. A. T. C. Its omission was keenly felt, and its importance particularly noted during the fall term. We feel certain that revived interest in soccer will prevail next year. CTennts With the arrival of spring, comes tennis which is eagerly looked forward to by a great many. As soon as the weather permits, the courts are busy at every available moment of the day. An inter-class schedule starts shortly after the opening of the spring term. This consists of a double tournament which is run off between that time and Commencement. Each year brings forth new players of more or less note, and an interesting struggle ensues for the lovers of this sport.

Although our team was defeated, it showed ramarkable material and with a little coaching and more interest by the student body there seems no doubt that we could have made a great success of this line of sport. Following is a summary of our meet with Stevens Tech.: 25 yard dash: won by Clark, Pratt; Meshoh, 2nd; 220 yard dash: won by Meshoh, Stevens; McCrea, Stevens, 2nd; 440 yard dash: won by Conrow, Stevens; Mattimore, Stevens, 2nd; 880 yard dash: won by Brown, Stevens; King, Pratt, 2nd; One mile race: won by Brown, Stevens; King, Pratt, 2nd; Hurdle race: won by Roberts, Stevens; Freisinger, Pratt, 2nd; Runring High Jump: ‘won by Roberts, Stevens; Clark, Pratt, 2nd; Standing Broad Jump: won by Clark, Pratt; Brown, Pratt, 2nd; Shot Put: won by Clark, Pratt; Brown, Pratt, 2nd; Relay Race: won by Stevens. Final score—Stevens 44, Pratt 36. Ted Clarke Ted Clarke of I. M. E. ’20, came to Pratt from Lafayette College, where he had acquired many honors in the athletic field. In our dual meet with Stevens Institute he gained new honors by scoring eighteen out of a total of thirty-six points. He now holds the Junior National Indoor Championship of America with a record standing jumps of five and one-half feet. Along with this honor he holds second place in Senior National Indoor Championship, with a high jump of five foot two and one-half inches. In standing broad jump he holds third place with a ten foot jump. These records show what we may expect of him in years to come. , ATHLETIC FIELD Eighty-eight “« a 7 : , E 1 ,¥ r } c = : }: : = at ' ] My) . | TY} E TiN) E Swit E HMA, EIU Ce Te B Ge Et E I SOVAL EIRAYVIAT ' s eo, : ae . rL i Ni - ! wh er wh a” ¢ 4 Vu : iN rt : V s Ph ; ea E i vn ; GCP. ‘. ‘ . f ; x 3 : TJ : Wit ess ; .. : . : etd F : a fod i eben |S oe me Fe, Ley VA oe 3 SILAS ely — = Lae, Le} 2 weet | LAOS, UE PS, op Fie ¥. ‘ : nh . ‘ a: a ul ad _ - —— t hn ¥ —. «F new bh OA — awit oe wed pg — rs ye —4 ke hh Oe al Bole — a ik i — em one te and he oe a . 4 it “ As - A ow t + An ‘y “ my ets ee ry ow “) + a ¢ - nN ” : . : ¥ | 7 : ‘ ‘ + | f ANF ANT Oe Ale ) . r 5 ¥ : : r E Nh A Bs. ‘ 5 , , : : Y +s — 4-— o - ¥ arr ee ee pf - to + er l + . $-re - or -+ .
