ing for some student in trouble; listen to his reverential reading of the chapel service, and in many a like way get glimpses of his character, in order to know the simple worth of the man. We believe every student and alumnus will unite with us in our desire to do honor to a respected instructor. Professor Moses C. Stevens was born in Windham, Me., near Port- land; was educated in the Friends ' School, Providence, R. I., and taught in the same school two years. He came West and taught in Richmond and LaFayette, of this State, and finally became Professor of Mathematics in Haverford College, in 1858. He was ten years Principal and Superintend- ent of the High School in Salem, Ohio, and came to Purdue University as Professor of Mathematics in 1883. He is a member of various associations of teachers and mathematicians, and a trustee of Earlham College.

flechanics. F there is anything which distinguishes Purdue particularly it is the number and diversity of her engines. They number in all fourteen, and not least among them is Old Schenectady ' . Entering the new Engineering Laboratory one is bewildered at the preponderance of engines. When Old Schenectady was fired up for the first time, a general holiday was given, while the students thronged around to observe the President pull ' er wide open, and to watch Prof. Goss fire ' er. When we first received the new locomotive, the students wondered where the track would be built. Some surmised that there would be a campus-encircling railway; others thought that a limited would be put on to convey the students from the various departments to chapel every morning at 10:15. But all guesses proved to be wrong. The track is 11011 est; the engine stationary. The mechanic verily leads a mathematical existence. He arises early, mur- plan muring = HP. In lacing his left shoe he utters such terms as horse- 33,000 power, dvnamometer, friction ; by the time he has inserted his last collar button he has advanced to the occult formula El . At breakfast he cuts his dx= brown bread into perfect squares, 900 angles, and he growls if the biscuits are not exactly circular, and if the tops are not perfect sections of ellipses. La= b J He heaps his oatmeal in the shape of a truncated prism. The perfect mathematical curve which his coffee describes as he pours it from his cup into his saucer gives him great joy. (He pours the coffee purely for the beauty of the curve, not be- cause of anj ' Purdue rules of table etiquette). On his waj ' back he strikes an hypothenuse at street crossings. Should he happen to meet a young la ly acquaintance, he is always sure to make his chapeau describe a logarithmic spiral.
