36 THE SPOTLIGHT Astoria ballroom in New York city, at a theatre in Hartford, Conn. and at Boston and Northampton. An outsider is usual- ly surprised that Tech fellows have time and ability to learn to sing ,to dance, and to act well. The Tech Show, I might add, like every other activity at Tech is managed entirely by the students. The Show ranks as high as any college pro- duction in the United States. A third interest is the official newspaper of the school The Tech ' which gives us the news of the school three times a week. Reporters on the Tech are supposed to visit the news-room at least once a day to receive assignments About once in ten days, they are sent to the printers to set up the paper and proof-read it. One night, perhaps in the middle of the week, devoted to such work in a school where every night during the week is needed for study, might be expected to work havoc with studies but men on “The Tech” are among the best students. The fourth interest is the school government. Tech is unique among schools in the amount of power it delegates to the students themselves. Few schools in the United States have so demo- cratic a system. The Committee which controls the affairs of the students is elected by the students and has supreme control over the undergraduate activities. No discussion of the question of loyalty to Tech would be complete without mention of the professors. If Tech is better than any other scientific school in the country, it is due to the work of the teachers and organizers. We have, I believe, a very friendly spirit between student and teacher. We know that most of the teachers are still studying. One of the professors especially, is interested in any subject you may mention. I personally have heard him discussing typewrit- ing, music, plays, and old-fashioned dancing. He is a noted Professor of Chemistry, Tech has a background, a past history, which is illustri- ous and inspirational. The great figures of the past have built well. We do well to honor them. From the Past, we have drawn an inspiration to better the Present. This in- spiration, this essence of the Past, working through the Pres- ent (friendship, social life, government) produces in us the reaction we call love of our school. It rests mainly on the achievements of the school and of the student body, past and present. We do love our school although we sometimes don’t realize it until we graduate. PHILIP S, GLASSON, ’21.
