Co them this book we dedicate, to our posterity we bow; enjoy it then as we do now. mm ■ , earlessly we submit this, the ' 96 Debris, to a long-suffer- ing public in the confidence born of the success of former editions. The contents have been sorted out, as the name deftly implies, from a be- wildering debris of sketches, articles, jokes, etc. It is a pleasure for us to acklowl- edge the kindness of those who have offered their ex- cellent services, and, for the benefit of all those whose fortune it has been to con- tribute to the many inter- esting features of this collec- tion of college characteris- tics, the editors wish to ex- press their appreciation of the excellent work submit- ted by Mr. McGinnis and Mr. Aiken. We also wish to thank Mr. Brown, Mr. Ewry, Mr. Walker, and our particularly patient pub - lishers. ai rsr Dedication ( Preface lo introduction is trustees and faculty 17 29 CbeJIIumni 50 Classes 31 6$ Departments 70=94 musical Organizations 95=100 Otber Organizations 101 los Athletics 107 112 Societies 113=125 fraternities 129-139 facts and fancies i4i c V ■« I,, c. s , kODilAN THK EMBRYONIC EDITORS ' Ronald Dawson- Clara I ouiSE Smiler a.

Out of the ashes of our burned building we now see the ma|estic tower of our great shops, we hear the thrilling music of her chimes, and en|oy the privileges of the greatest laboratory of its kind, which, but a few years ago. was but the fond dream of Purdue devotees. Thus we have a material basis upon which to base the bright future of our institution, and to predict the greatest fame for her. The year just drawing to a close finds us well equipped with a new gymnasium, many needed campus improvements, better arranged and commodious laboratories, a growing interest in music and science and. last and most important, as fine a corps of new instructors and professors as has entered for many a year. But these speak for themselves, and are facts that have grown to be a part of our daily life ; and what we now accept as necessities, were, but a short time since, considered luxuries far beyond us. Even our beautiful new library room has ceased to hear exclamations of Oh ! ' Ah ! How pretty ! and must now listen to the grumbling of the tardy reference reader. Thus through the endless ages we grow accustomed to the so-called wonders of the age before, and one decade calls the last decade slow. It is even thus with Purdue. Can we help calling years past slow, when we view with pride the many enormous advancements of the year |ust drawing to a close ? What would the members of a class in the 8o ' s say to our military department, with its new uniforms, new cannon and band, to the music of this year, the glee and mandolin clubs, the Civil Engineering Society, the extended engineering trips, etc. In conclusion, we wish to present this book, a monument to the class that presents it. Read it. enjoy it. criticise it. but — Be to our faults a little blind And to our virtues verv kind. Board of Cru$tee$ Six Vcars Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis Charles B.

' fyfy •il ' TKMBKR. iSql, tlie date when the class of ' 96 first assem- bleil within the lialls of Purdue University, gave evi- dence that here was a body of young Americans which would reflect credit upon itself and upon the institution. It was soon observed that the class as a whole, had come for work and not for play, and that given a fair chance, it would soon become a powerful factor in all the ])roniinent affairs of college life. The year of Prepdoui passed quietly_ av ay, with no extraordinary events to record and then the class entered upon its Freshman year, bubbling over with energy and enthusiasm, and with bright prospects for the future. Its loyalt}- and determination, however, were to be put to several severe tests before many months had passed. The Sophomores, thinking that we could be easil)- defeated, challenged us to a game of football. How forlorn their hope! Even the sarcastic pictures painted upon the fences surroun lin,g the football field, by the Sophomores on the night before the conflict, were altered by some of the men of ' 96, and when the trusting Sophomores entered the field next day, what was their dismay when they saw the figures ' 95 upon all pictures care- fully changed to ' 96! The class of ' 95 had also placed a flag upon the topmost pinnacle of Purdue ' s main building, which, when noticed by some of our alert classmen, was immediately torn down and replaced by a flag of ' 96. B}- these evidences of its energy the class of ' 96 showed its determination to win in the coming conflict. The day was bright and warm. Freshmen and Sophomores, and indeed a large part of the whole student body, eagerly waited for the fray to begin. But is it necessary to tell a waiting public the result? It was a fierce, nobly-contested battle. The banner of victory seemed now to float on one side and now on the other, until finally the Sophomores were completely overwhelmed. And it was a long time before Purdue heard the last of the glorious Freshman victory. As an instance of the remarkalsle loyalty of the class we might also relate the following incident. The Seniors gave a banquet, but before they got through with it they discovered, to their sorrow, that they had made a mistake in not inviting the Freshman to participate. A number of ' 96 men, with the help of a few Juniors, abducted their president and held him in captivitj ' during the night, and incidentally effected the ruin of a hack. This latter was unintentionally committed, but the liveryman did not see it in that light, being unaccusiomed to college jokes, and the perpetrators were accordingly sued for damages. But did the class of ' 96 leave them to their fate? No, indeed. Perish the thought! A class meeting was called, loyal speeches were made, and substantial aid was given by individual subscription, which helped the men out of their difficulties. During the spring of the next year we looked forward with eager expectation to our class picnic. Everything had been arranged, when we suddenl} ' learned that the dread disease, smallpox, had taken up it., abode in the neighborhood of our picnic grounds. No other place was at the time available, and as a result, the history of the ' 96 class picnic will never be written. (.)ur Junior vear, with all its varied activities, passed only too quickly, and now, at last, we have entered upon our last year, somewhat diminished in numbers since first we were privileged to get a iew of Purdue, but as vigorous and enthusiastic as ever. Not being satisfied with a mere intellectual encounter with our profe,ssors, we challenged them to a physical contest upon the football field. The challenge was quickly accepted, and on Satur- day, December 14, the two opposing teams met on Stuart Field. It was cloud}- overhead and muddy under foot, but nevertheless, a large crowd gathered to see this contest of the giants. Sufifice it to say that, although the Professors fought nobly and performed man} ' deeds of daring, the Seniors won the game by the decisive score of 20-0. But while we have been relating the victories which ' g6 has gained upon the athletic field, we would not overlook the fact that the class has also been well represented by brilliant men in studies, in literary society work, and in all college enterprises. The history of the class of ' 96 is emphatically the history of progress, and the energy and determination which have characterized the class will, no doubt, be shown in each individual member when he leave s the halls of learning for the active liusiness of life. An institution, says Emerson, is the lengthened shadow of one man ; and we see represented in Purdue the lenjfthened shadow, or, in other words, the invincible determina- tion, the untiring enerjjj-, and the high ideals of our honored president, James H. Smart. As a result of his labor, and of that of the faculty, Purdue has made rapid strides since the advent of the class of ' 96. and has now come to be recognized as one of the foremost institutions of the country. And who will say that the credit for the success of Purdue has not been due largely to the inspiration derived from the jirfsence, in the I ' liiversity, of the large, (.-ntliusi- astic class of ' 96?

Every fall, for more than twenty years, has witnessed the entrance of a new class. The only feature that this class possessed to distinguish it from its pred- ecessors was that yS was the last class to enter upon the responsibilities of college life after havinj; spent one year in the much ridiculed Prep ' ' Department. The President and faculty, after haNini; glanced into our l)riglit and intellectual l?i faces, immediately decided tliat if the future classes of Purdue were to consist of such wise and distingui.shed-looking people ( nit ) as those of ' 98, the preparatory class was no longer necessary. Thus our advent into college really marked the beginning of a new era in the history of Purdue, and made it a college not only in name but in reality. In glancing over the many histories of previous classes we notice that tliev aboniul in nnich self-praise. Each class seems to have possessed great talent in almost all directions. Each claims to have been the apple of the President ' s eye, and ti5 have displayed wonderful dramatic and literary talent. . stranger reading one of these ]jast histories would almost imagine tliat the entire responsibility and glory of Purdue was resting upon the back of some poor Prep or Freshuian class. But ' 9S is not given to boasting. We do not claim to be the largest or brightest class in Purdue, and this statement is very true. In regard to numbers, quality, not quantity, is applicable to us. Huuever. the Sophomores have not failed to coiitriliute their share to Purdue ' s glory. What would the football team be without the nii. ;hty aud powerful ' ebl) I you have all heard the war-cry, ' Eat ' em up, Webb I ), the good-natured Moore, the talented Breeu, and such other brave men as Kingsbury, Malotte, Hanson, Cassad - and Moore? We are also well represented in the ( rlee and ?iIandolin clubs, and our men liave always acquitted themselves with credit i.ii the various literary societies. Several very talented painters belong to ' 98. One peculiaritx- of their unexcelled ability is that their favorite color is red. They have attained their fame not onh ' by mounting the ladder round hy round, but ) y climbing from basement to the highest pinnacle of the tower of the new mechanical building and there painting in large red figures 98. From this lofty position as painters of the world, they glanced down and beheld ' 97 aud ' 99 in all their insignificance. . lthough we feel assured that we will be set up as examples, in future centuries, of cour- ageous and brave people, we are modest and do not wrsh to flaunt before the world our victories. While still in the noonday of our college life we will not glance back over past achievements, but will truilge along up life ' s long incline until at last when we stand on the lofty mountain of Success we can look back and Ijehold the future classes of Purdue struggling below us. and indeed feel that we have fulfilled tlie true meaning of our motto.

They have left their milk bottles at home with their mammas, and are quite ready to ripen into Sophomores, but even then they will be much like the emerald gem, hard and green, and the prospect for them seems like that of their brothers, the Juniors, to be green and seedy for all time. Why are they called Freshmen ? Because they are just like the new mown hay. Do they love their dear teachers ? Yes, we dare say they do, and their books, too. Maybe if they study they may some day answer Yes to your inquiry about their having been very fresh men when they came to Purdue. No, they have never seen little horses. Oh, no ! They cannot ride! They are used to little carriages at home, and are much afraid of ponies and guns. 5S Pharmacy « Senior Class motto 6 )ion Profici , Dcpcit Colors Magenta and Ligltt Jilue Veil Liqitidainbcr Oiietilalis !

It was in Septeniljer, ' 94, to this grim old building there came a lot of youths whom the ' Seniors designated as the class of ' 96, and le to be known. They were first made acquainted with the l ' aculty (including Burges, the good natured storekeeper), then, of course, were shown a place to aeposit their mone} ' . It is useless to tell of the many wonders which the following weeks brou.ght forth ; how thev viewed their first football game ; how they became familiar with cliemical reaction, anil in manv cases caused terrific explosions and stench odors ; how Pap told them of the wonders of chemislrv, and, to the sorrow of many lie it said, learned the practical application of the word Hunk. lhe But one incident must not he left untold (one which to-da - rankles in the breast of many a noble ' 96 man), and that is the way we were treated by the ' 95 ' s — inili.ited, they called it — one busv day, when we were gotten one by one. and soundly paddled with very liberal pieces of pine boxes. We were then told that that was the reward for being a Junior ; hut we. poor victims, put our heads together and planned revenge, which we have had to the satisfaction of everv one. Another incident, which will retnain a pleasant memory of the ' 96 bo_ s, was the banquet given by Eli Lill. . Co., manufacturing chemists, of Imlianapolis. anil the visit to their large laboratories afterwards. 60 September, ' 95, witnessed the re-union of the Seniors. JIany pleasant acquaintances were renewed, and with little loss of time, the work was resumed with the vigor which has characterized the class during the entire year. Although the work has been hard and tests have been a prominent feature of the course, many pleasant incidents have occurred which have gone far to make the work more easy. The course was completed April 2ist, having previously passed the State examination, and we are now proud that we can say we have raised the average of preceding classes. The receptions, dances and banquets given by the class have been of intense enjoyment to members participating, and as to their general success we gladly refer the dou1:)ting reader to the testimony of invited guests.

X iWo2 the Ignited States lilitarv Academy graduated two students — the first in America whose college course had trained them as enifineers. It was a significant event — the beginning of a revolution in educational methods that is not yet ended — a breaking away from the notion that one cannot discipline the nund bj ' learning practical things. Now technical training has come to be an important factor in our educational S3 ' .stem and, as is common in such a development, many dilTerent notions are current as to the proper relation of the practical and the theoretical in a school curriculum. Some schools do much commercial test- ing and designing, arguing that the .student thus learns well what, when he graduates, he is expected to do. Considering the school as a trainer of men for the accomplishing of results, the argument is good; but hold- ing that the school is not only to train men but to promote interest in original investigation, the argument is one of less merit. Purdue has long sought to put her laboratories in such shape that there would be no lack of opportunity to appl) ' the student ability to the solution of original problems. By having the machinery of commercial size, the practical is not neglected. By having the apparatus freed from outside complications any desired set of conditions may be .secured. Thus it is that current problems may be ea.sily investigated and reliable results secured. This policy has been followed with vigor and discretion .so that now reports of our laboratory- investigations are looked for with confidence and eagerness. The department represents in buildings and equipment an outlay of about 1195,000 — fioo,- 000 on the building, 75,000 in experimental engineering and $20,000 in practical mechanics. There are many novel features. On the ])rinciple that trains are affected by wind pressure when standing still, just as still air through which they are traveling affects them, apparatus is now under experiment for inves- tigating train resistance due to the atmosphere. The many letters of inquiry about the steam turbine bespeaks the interest of the engi- neering public as well as compliments the department in importing this freak among steam engines. Twenty-five thousand (25,000) revolutions per minute mean over four hundred (400) per second. This high speed helps one to understand how the main shaft, one-fourth inch {X inch) in diameter, can transmit ten-horse power. 70 The miiiiber of steam cylinders in the laboratories is 39, the aggregate horse power being fifteen hundreil 11,500). The number of steam engine indicators is sixteen (16). The gross capacity of the testing machines is equal in dead weight to the carrying ability of a train of eleven ( 1 1 ) cars. The notion of mounting a large locomotive on supporting wheels, and then running it under the conditions of the road, was one that at first provoked much criticism. Now the results of our locomotive tests are looked for with interest not only in America but in foreign countries. The dynamometer that measures the draw bar stress involves a hydraulic principle that adapts it well to the work in han l. It has been said that it will measure the stress that would break a hair, or, with equal facility, the pull exerted by the largest locomotive. To show its sensitiveness, one can push with the hand on the locomotive and, ponderous as is the mass to be moved, the dynamometer will show th e pressure exerted. As the story goes, a party of sightseers once tried the experiment with perfect satisfaction, much to the amusement of some others who knew that the draw bar had been taken out so that no connection existed between the engine and dynamometer. The big Dean pump installed during the previous year iimch increases the capacity of the hydraulic apparatus. Taken all in all our equipment is probably equal to that of any school in . merica. Prof. Goss is assisted by four instructors. A most excellent spirit of exactness an l originality exists among the students, and bright indeed seems the future of the department. cm Ettdinecring Department ' 4 my lOGETHER with the other departments of the University. Civil Engineering has made wonderful advancement. Domiciled in its new home in the Engineering Labora- tory, it occupies a conspicuous position in the entire west wing lower floor. The new drawing room, instrument room, office and recitation rooms offer to the increasing number who are taking this course a pleasing and com- modious place to pursue their studies. The school makes but an humble appearance when shown to the visitor, and were it not for the instrument room, scarcely a soul would stop to glance at it, yet when the more inquisitive enter in they find its .students doing the most thorough, careful work, which involves nmch foresight and far- reaching investigation, A civil engineer must be a man of many broad quali- ties, acquainted with nature and men, as well as pro- foundh- familiar with mathematics hydraulics, strength of materials and economic designing. All this the department aims to give, and how well it attains its object is attested by its many graduates who are filling positions of importance. During the past year two new courses have successfully opened to students of this school — that in Architecture and that in Sanitary ' Engineering. Both of these branches have a good share of the students, and nmch good work has been done. 72 Frequent lectures upon sanitary subjects have been given during the year, to which the public has been invited. During the past year a most flourishing society has existed, and an Engineering Annual will appear in a short time, which will contain the articles of value read before the societ}- during the year. The society has had many prominent engineers lecture before it during the year, and is in fact the most flourishing society of its kind in the state. During the spring term an extended tour of inspection was taken, embracing the numer- ous engineering works of Jlilwaukee and Chicago. With these advantages, besides the regular course, to predict a rapid growth for the department would be but to restate a self-evident fact. School of Gkctrical Engincerittd ' ' i;VHX vtars only have elapsed since the School of Electrical Engineering was established in the University. This short period, hovpever. has been marked by that steady and phe- nomenal development so characteristic of Purdue, and so indicative of the important part this t)ranch of technical learning plays in the growth of our modern civilization. It was the good fortune of the department to be founded under the direction of Dr. Louis Bell, and to have had as his successors men equally able and noted. Not a little of the remarkable development, as evidenced by the large building, fine equipment, and numerous .students, is due to the efforts of the several professors, who have labored to keep the course abreast of the times and a credit to the institution. Basing its work upon the previous training received alike by all engineering students during the first two years of their course, the aim of the school is to .so fit its graduates that they may be able to design, construct, and operate all manner of electrical installations and apparatus. The laboratory, which provides opportunity for all kinds of experiments and tests, with the drafting room and its complete training in electrical design, gives to the student the practical lines of his profession; while the general courses of study, among which may be mentioned the higher mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the theory of direct and alternating currents, so prepare the student that he knows the how and the why of what he is learning to apply. The technical training, together with the liberal education of the freshman and sophomore years, tends to develop the mind, increasing its power of reason, thus providing that general culture so necessarv to a useful life, while emphasizing the practical lines to be followed in after years. To what extent the school actually accomplishes the work it is intended to do, may best be seen b}- noting instances of men who have completed its course and taken up positions of responsibility and importance. 74 Conhnint; the list to those who have jfraiiuated within the past two years, over 90 per cent, are found to be engajjed in active work demanding the education they received at Purdue as electrical engineers. . niong these, eighteen may be mentioned who are connected with manufacturing establishments, five in charge of designing, four in charge of departments, and nine acting as expert assistants. The openings, however, have not been confined to this line, as three of the graduates are emplo ed as professors in different colleges, five are ser -ing as instructors or assistants, and nine are electrical engineers in central stations. Others might be alluded to who have found emplo inent to their several tastes, as patent attorneys, patent examiners, and in the broad field of telephone installation. It may be safely said that when some of the prospective improvements are put into effect in the near future, the department will present all that can be desired in its line of work. Already Purdue has been taken b ' both the American and En.sjlish technical press as a typical representative of advanced practice in the art of teaching electrical engineering, and it is evident that nowhere could one look for a better example of completeness or hope for a greater extent of improvement. Truly the future of this school is as bright as that of the University, and can only be limited in practical usefulness by the extent of the boundless field it represents. When electricity has given place to a still more marvelous agent, then and not until then, may we expect any professional line to offer more advantages than those obtained through the School of Electrical Engineering in Purdue University. School of Science ' 4V V4 THINK how points of view will change ! A few years ago the Scientist was supposed to be fairly harmless, but at the same time wholly impractical. By the ast majority of people he was looked upon as one willing to spend his strength on small things, and consequently as one whose part in the world ' s progress was ver - insignificant. To-day the industrial applications of science in all of its departments are numberless and the demand for specially trained experts is far in excess of the sup- ply. Great manufacturing companies are calling to their aid, the chemists. The farmer appeals to the biologist for means of reducing crop losses to a minimum, and to chemist and biologist alike for aid in increasing the productiveness of the soil. Municipalities call upon chemists and biologists to aid them in the solution of the profound problems relating to public health. Boards of health, physicians and civil engineeers are making constant demands upon the laboratories. It is very evident, then, that in this latter day science has a strong and secure footing in a School of Technology. Since the publication of the last Debris the science course has been strengthened in many wa s, notably by the introduction of a series of special schools, with prescribed courses, and an increase in the teaching force and requirements for graduation. In all of the departments of the School of Science both French and German are now a part of the course, and the required work covers three full University years. By election in the Senior year a four-years course in modern languages is possible. This has not been brought about by reduction of work in other lines, but indicates added work. Three special courses were opened at the beginning of the University year, and the enroll- ment in each is an indication that their introduction was a wise step. The School of Applied Chemistry has its purpose sufficiently indicated in its title. By the omission of biology in the Sophomore year the students of this school have chemistr - double 76 time in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, being thus given what amounts to a six-years course in chemistry. The studies cover all of the industrial applications of chemistry and include analysis of foods, etc. All of the required subjects of the general course in Science are taken, the addition in the election period in the Junior and Senior vears being given to a specially arranged course in Physics bearing particularly upon chemistry. The school fits its graduates for positions as chemical experts and investigators. The School of Sanitary Science is the first of its kind in the West. The great importance of the health of a community to its general prosperity forces itself upon the public in such a way as to create an imperative demand for specially trained men to consider the problem of public health. The course differentiates from the general science course in the Junior year, taking in the Junior and Senior years, prescribed lines of work in Biology and Chemistry. In Biology these studies cover the plant and animal forms infesting water supplies. An extended course in Bacteriology, including practical investigations of air, water, milk, ice, sewage, foodstuffs, etc, methods of laboratory equipment and investigation are given especial attention. In chemistry the work includes water and gas analysis, analysis of milk and dairy products, fooils and foodstuffs, and the chenii.stry of sewage disposal. The additional election period in the Junior and Senior years is filled b)- work either in chemistry or biology as the student may choose. Graduates from this course are fitted for positions as sanitary biologists or chemists, or for work of investigation in sanitary subjects. The Pre-Medical School, also separate from the general course in the Junior year, as its name indicates, is arranged for those who expect to become physicians. The subjects taken are those which serve to give credits upon entering the Medical College. These subjects include an extended course in Vertebrate Anatomy and Dissection, Normal and Pathological Histology, Bacteriology, Embryology and Chemistry. Graduates from this course receive credits of from one to one and one-half years in the various Medical Schools. The effect of the changes thus introduced has been to largely increase the enrollment in Science and at the same time to give to the work a precision and definiteness which promise much for the future. r ' 5 School of HgricuKure 7V7 rRnri-; is perhaps best known in the state through her Agricultural Department. The large number of bulletins dis- tributed annually, and the University extension work con- tlucted as Farmers ' Institutes, have served to bring the work of the department and the personnel of her Faculty before the people in every county at frequent intervals. The greater portion of the work of the School of Agriculture is of this character, and her students are numbered by the thousand. The number of resident students does not compare favorably with tliat of other departments, although the majority of the total enrollment in the University comes from country homes. _ _ ■ «,. There is a misconception in the mind of the public regard- _ _ _ r ing the methods employed in the School of Agriculture and - • . . J ' the objects to be accomplished. This, unfortunately, is not confined to people living at a distance, but also to the great majority of the students in attendance. Nothing could be farther from the truth than to suppose it is the province to teach 50ung men how to guide a plow, to follow a harrow-, or other operations of similar character. Tl ose taking the work, with rare exceptions, have been reared upon the farm and are familiar with these operations, which correspond to apprentice- ship in trades, l- ' or this reason manual labor is not made a part of the course, or how to perform it an object of instruction. The aim is to cultivate a study of the business and to fortif} the possessor with the fundamental elements of the sciences upon which t he operations depend. How well this has been accomplished is attested by the fact that about eighty per cent of those having taken the course have returned to the vocation for which thev were prepared. It is a matter of satisfaction tliat none are out of employment and that the demand is greater than the supply. The School of Agriculture offers courses adapted to the conditions of all who may apply. An eleven-weeks course for those who can leave the farm for only the winter months; a two- years course for those who wish to obtain the technical work and an elementary knowledge of the sciences, and a four-jears course for those who wish to combine a thorough technical training and a liberal education, are provided. I 4. ' X Sy— Citerature, Canguagc, 1)i$torv and Gconomics n ny fy IVEN time devoted to the study of English during the first year is divided between rhetoric proper and hterature. In the study of rhetoric an effort is made to give the student a practical, working knowledge of the English language. The course in literature is quite varied in character, comprising a critical study of Milton ' s minor poems, Emerson ' s essajs, Webster ' s orations, and other standard pieces. In the Sophomore year a study is made of the history of English literature, accompanied by an analysis of some of the longer English poems. A comparative study of the poems is made from the standpoint of style and thought. In the Junior year English prose is studied with a view to an application of the higher elements of rhetoric. The works of Carlyle, Addison, Macaulay and others are studied. The Senior work is laid mainly in the writings of Shakes- peare, Browning and Tenn son. Throughout all the courses themes are assigned for analysis and amplification, and oral expression, by way of discussion, is made prominent. German is now taught in the science course and will hereafter be required in all of the engineering courses. The purpose of the work in the science course is both cultural and practical. In the early part of the course particular attention is given to grammatical construction, conversation, and the reading of literary German. After a reasonable degree of facility in reading and speaking has been attained, attention is turned to the translation of the scientific literature of chemistry, biology or physics. In case a student so elects he may continue his work along purely classical and literary lines. The work in the engineering courses will aim to give a thorough mastery of technical German, the literary and conversational features being largely eliminated. Spanish is taught almost exclusively for its commercial value. The student is given a reading and conversational knowledge of the language, with only a minimum of the grammar. 80 It is believed that the development of the vast resources of Central and South America will demand, from engineerins; students in particular, just such a knowledge as this course affords What has been said of the work in German is quite largely true of that done in French. Conversation, composition, and ready translation are made prominent in the science course, while engineering students pursue technical lines. While the work in history and economics does not ignore the culture value of the branches, an especial emphasis is put upon their practical phases. The primary duty of the school and college is to turn out well equipped citizens, and the demand for good and intelligent citizenship was never more imperative than now. It is believed that these lines of work con- duce to a better understanding of the duties and privileges of citizenship. The problems which beset our modern industrial civilization are numerous and complex, and no one can afford to be without an intelligent comprehension of them. Inasmuch as these problems in a republican government like our own are settled for the most part at the ballot box. the greater need for their intelligent comprehension is apparent. m Department ffsq rfy OWEVER much Purdue ma - he a technical school, fitted out with locomotive, d mamos and enjjiues innumerable, yet it reserves a place for the fair co-eds, where the - may indulge their love for the picturesque and dwell with beauty itself. Over on the southwest corner of the campus stands a very vuipretentious building known as the Ladies ' Hall, and this is the Zi j , home of the young artists. Coming up the walk from the campus ' ' ° gate and entering a door (so many doors, too difficult to specify ), one suddenly finds himself surrounded and in the midst of a bevy of charming girls, hurrying hither and thither, carrying pieces of dainty china to the kilns, or bending over their tal)le, fully occupied in the task of getting the gold on a plate; or probably some roses or a graceful spra ' of peach blossoms is the all- absorbing work. In the bay window stands an ea.sel, and before it sits a fair-haired girl, with her water colors and brushes U ' ing in her lap. A young man, sketching with pen and ink, adds to the attractions of this room, the occupants of which we know to be Juniors and Seniors, for there is an air of dignity here becoming the upper classmen. Passing through the hall, we come to the firing room, which is always a busy place, for the two kilns are kept going almost constantly, although one is the largest portable kiln manu- factured. Fiftv- or more Bunsen burners, arranged in a circular mass, afford inten.se heat, firing the colors more rapidly than ordinary kilns. Next we find the Soph in the cast room, busilj ' engaged in drawing some model, or work- ing out the details of some natural flowers which Van has kindly supplied. Across the hall the little Freshy sits with model before him, vainly endeavoring to make pencil marks resemble shadows, and, when the teacher is not looking, to play peek-a-boo around the curtains with his best girl. Away on the other side of the building, in the southwest corner, is the workshop. One does not have to be in the room to know the young ladies are busy, for the sound of the ham- mers echoes and re-echoes through the long corridors, making one think of the small boy with his first box of tools. But what sights greet our eyes when we open the door! There, around the huge, rough benches, stand the workers, bedecked with aprons and sleeves, looking like veritable carpenters. This is truh- a workshop, where deft fingers never seem to tire of bring- ing out from the hard surface the beautiful designs, composed of graceful scrolls and the - -a. v. beautiful foniis of nature. A larjje table stands to the right of the door as you enter, and here all the working drawings are made for every piece of furniture. The generations to come will have many pretty pieces in their homes, which were carved in the Art Department. The students in this line of work are a very bus}- lot of people, even with their laboratory work, but find time to take lectures on the History of Art, and indeed the Seniors have become so familiar with the marbles of the Acropolis, whether in the British JIuseum or still remaining in the original place, that they mentally restore the beauty of the architecture and the magnificent sculptures of Phidias, as when first seen and admired by the critical Athenians in the days of Pericles. Photographs and casts have gradually been added to the department collection, and the lectures naturallv grow more interesting when fully illustrated. The dainty reproduction of the Parthenon frieze, only three inches in vidth, gives a clear idea of the wonderful variety of action in its multitude of graceful figures. The early Renaissance Sculp- ture is illustrated by casts of the quaint Donatellos and della Robbias, and photographs of the masterpieces of painting and sculpture hang on the walls, where the student may stud}- and become acquainted with true art. The art display, which is usually held in the month of ilay, is indeed a treat to lovers of the beautiful, and ever}- year many visitors avail themselves of the opportunity to inspect and admire the work done by the students. Well may Purdue be proud of her Art School, for it has proved itself a success, and adds much to the good standing of the University. 83 Departttietit of Practical mecbanics IV ' IV N PURDUE UNIVERSITY every student in engineering is introduced to the technicalities of his subject in the Depart- ment of Practical Mechanics. During two years a large portion of his time is de. voted, in this department, to learning the practical opera- tions that are necessary in building a machine or other structure, and finding how these operations are performed by manufacturing concerns to produce economical results. He is required to perform the typical operations required in construction work and to become himself fairly skillful in their performance. He is shown the principles involved, taught the proportions and principal features of the tools used, and in general is placed in a position to apply directly the knowledge and skill he has gained, or to continue his studies in designing new structures or determining the comparative efficiency of those in use. The course in .shop practice, drawing and lecture room work, founded on practical working of manufacturing concerns, has been adapted to meet the requirements of the first two years. The laboratories that have been built and equipped in furtherance of this scheme contain rooms devoted to each of the typical manufacturing operations. There is a room devoted to woodworking, where eighty- young men are often engaged at one time in such work as cabinet-making, wood-turning and pattern-making. The degree of skill acquired is shown by a set of patterns for a Corliss engine of 1 50 horse power that has been completed recently by one section. Castings from the patterns are made in a foundry where the principal piece of apparatus is a cupola furnace of twenty-five inches, inside diameter. These castings are finished and fitted together in a machine room by the use of a complete equipment of machine tools, on 84 each machine of which every student has work. There are included lathes, planers, drills, finding machines, shapers and the other tools that make up a first-class machine shop. The cutting tools are made in a blacksmith shop, in which a course in blacksmithing is given. During the two years in which the shop work is carried on there is a parallel course in drawing, which includes the making and lettering of drawings for machines and such work as the reproduction of drawings by blue print and other processes. When these two years of work in the course of practical mechanics are completed, the student is in a position either to earn his own living or to approach the further work of engineering with profit to himself. m Department of matbetnatics ' 4     1 cognitis ulto facilius extrema intelligeiitia— Cicero Progress is the spirit of Purdue as well as the fundamental note of all her tradition and effort. To judge rightl} ' her life and work, one must keep in mind the purpose that permeates the institution, that of giving her students abilit ' to do, as well as capacity to know. The habit of thought of an engineer is mathematical. In so far as he is unable to think mathematically and calculate accurately his efficiency is small. On the other hand, as he possesses agility in the technique of mathematics and breadth and depth of insight — viewiness, to use Cardinal Newman ' s word— he is valuable to himself and to the world. Therefore the work in mathematics at Purdue begins on the day that the engineering student enters and ends on the day that he graduates. The one aim and effort of the Mathematical Facult)- is to give the largest possible fund of mathematical knowledge and the most careful training in the use of that knowledge. Mathematics is not to the engineer alone. While the imposing structures arising from his brain are mathematics personified in the completeness of all minute detail, and often cause wonder in their perfect adaptability to the functions they perform, the scientist, too, must calculate with minute exactness. The various manifestations of nature do not in all cases hand out gratis to the investigator the formulated law underljdng themselves. He must first observe, and then calculate. Mathematics is the backbone of business. Who is the man eminent in his line of business ? He who looks at the result of a proposed investment with a mathematical insight. The spiritual-minded ask, What shall it profit a man, and the tramp is often called upon to exact the strictest mathematical research to determine the locality of his next meal. Like rain from heaven, mathematics comes, with an occasional thunderbolt, to high and low, rich and poor. He who largely imbibes shall receive an abundant reward. Scbool of Pbarmacy HE Purdue School of Pharmacy was established in 1884 to meet the growing demand throughout the State for educated pharmacists. Robert B. Warder, A.M., B.S., was chosen Dean, and John X. Hurty, M.D., occupied the Chair of Pharmacy. Professor Warder remained in connection with the institution until 1888, when he was succeeded bv Arthur L. Green, Ph.C. (.Ann Arbor), who is at the pre.sent time Dean, and Professor of Chemistry. Dr. Hurty remained in connection with the school until 1889. The finst class, that of i886, consisted of only seven men ; but the school has so increased in popu- larity on account of the thoroughness of instruction given, the small fees, and the inexpensiveness of living in a small city, that since its establishment 177 persons have been granted diplomas. For a number of years the only course offered was the Ph.G. course, which extended through two years of twenty weeks each. Later, this course was lengthened to two years of twenty-four weeks each, then to two years of twenty-six weeks each and finally to two years of twenty-eight weeks each. In addition to the PIi.G. course, the .school now offers a Ph.C. course, requiring two years work of nine months each, and a covirse leailing to the degree B.S. in Pharmacy, requiring four years of nine months each. Better equipped now than ever, the Purdue School of Pharmacy well deserves the patronage which it receives. I ' CH has been said regarding the military training given at Pur- due University ' , but never has this branch of stud}- taken the promi- nent stand that has been its lot during the past year. Recita- tions and lectures have been a frequent occurrence, as well as much practical in the way of camp life, target practice, and dress parade. The advent of Lieutenant Miller marked the change of interest, and rapid strides of advancement have followed, one so close upon the other, that now we are able to point with pride to this department and say that it equals the best. The department is growing in general favor to such an extent that many ladies visit the evergreen-hidden armorj ' each Saturday to witness the battalion drill and hear the military music. The men are remaining in service the full four years instead of the required two, and this year ' s class will graduate five members, the largest number upon the records of the battalion books. The cadets enjoyed five days of camp life, and it was indeed such a delightful experience that many urged the commandant to remain longer. The camp was a success in everj- sense of the word. This year has been the most remarkable in the battalion ' s history, for it marks the turning point of sentiment toward the department. The officers have provided themselves with handsome uniforms, and present, indeed, a military appearance. 90 An excellent band has been one of the great features, never thought possible before. This feature is one of the most creditable ones, and every one is highly delighted with it. Two new guns have been secured for the u.se of the artillery detachments. A large silk flag was presented to the battalion by the board of trustees, and an eloquent speech was made at its presentation, by Col. R. P. DeHart, to which Captain Dawson responded on behalf of the cadets. The military ball was a brilliant social feature, and many will be the years before the memory of it dies out. In fact, the military training affords everyone who has been connected with it some of the most pleasant recollections of his college days. Finally, after all has been said, we are fully justified in drawing the honest conclusion that the department is most prosperous and on the hi,gh road to great success.

This year, however, the advent of Miss Millspaugh and Miss Putnam has given an impetus to music unprecedented. The clubs are in a highl} ' flour- ishing condition and many pleasant trips in the state have been made. And not only have there been carried on successful college musical clubs, but at the beginning of this college year, a School of Music was opened in connection with Purdue. While this school is independent of the University, it was established with the appro al of the Board of Trustees and the Faculty. Miss Ruth S. Putnam, who had been at the head of the music department of the Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scientific Institute, was asked to become director and teacher of piano. Jliss Putnam ' s home was Ypsilanti, Michigan, where she received her education at the Normal School. After studying music in the conser- vatory connected with the Normal, she was for some time a pupil of J. H. Hahn, Director of the Detroit Conservatory. After this she spent about two years in the musical city of Dresden, Germany, studying in the Royal Conservatory, and also having private lessons. Her piano study was carried on under Madame Rappoldi-Kahrer, well known throughout Germany, as a pianist and teacher. Miss Elizabeth il. Millspaugh, who has charge of the work in voice culture, also comes from Michigan. After taking work in Ypsilanti, she spent a ■winter in New York studying under the well known Courtnej ' . Her finishing preparation, for teaching and singing, was made with Mrs. Ida Norton of Detroit. Miss Effa Louis, a pupil of Sutonius, teaches the mandolin and other stringed instruments of the same class. The work in the various departments is done in private lessons, and also bj- the conserva- tory or class system. Students of the University are allowed to make the work in music a part of their regular course, if they so wish. This year, however, most of the pupils have been those making a specialty of music. There is constantly being more interest taken in music in connection with the University, and another year, with increased facilities, we shall hope to see the School of Music still more popular and useful.

No longer is the paper the shaky, tottering organ of former years. It no longer remains the prey of the literary societies alone; the college in general bad a hand in its publication this year, and each class, the Pharmacy Department, and the Athletic Association had a representative on its staff. With such a broadspread support, ' Y the paper has been able to appear semi-monthly throughout the entire year, to issue a souvenir Thanksgiving number, and to send a representative to the Indiana College Press Association conven- kfil( ' tion in Indianapolis. Undoubtedly a new era has dawned upon the college paper, and the outlook for the future is better than it ever has been before. The old familiar dress of black and old gold was revived this year, as the management thought it more appropriate. It has proved, upon investigation, that the Exponent is the most thoroughly volunteer movement of its kind in the state ; the editors run all financial risk, and receive no aid from the University other than subscriptions. No credits are given the editors for their work, and hence those who carry on the good work do it independent of school, and receive nothing in return but the empty ' honor. The Thanksgiving souvenir issue was a new venture at Purdue, and embraced the history of football at Purdue from its origin up to the present day. It was well received, and was a very creditable paper. An excellent series of stories has appeared from time to time, and for these the college is indebted to Miss Clara Lutz, of Purdue, ' 95. The local and editorial colums have been the bones of contention, and many have been the odd sensations connected with them. However, it is not the aim of the Exponent to be a literary magazine, but on the contrary, a literary newspaper. staff of ' 1 Debris €ditor$-in-ehief H. W. Dryden S. Gilbert Jump Business manascrs J.

Irving Citerary Society 7V Wj J ky RX ' IXC. is the oldest of the literary societies at Purdue, having been -Jl ' . m I, - rr t„ ,u — :::ri organized January 29, 1875. It had sixteen charter members, with J. B. Harper as president. The first meetings were held in the present Pharmacy Build- ing, but the society prospered wonderfully, the membership rising to seventy-five, and in three years the present Irving Hall was dedicated, with many distinguished visitors present. The society continued to prosper until in 1S80 a schism occurred, as a result of which the Carlyle Society was founded. Since then the membership has been limited to forty, and Irving has held the prominent place among our institutions that it deserves. Regular meetings are held each Friday evening, and it is the custom of the societ - to hold at least one open meeting each term as well as to give an annual entertainment at the beginning of the spring term. Irving numbers among its past members the most prominent alumni of the University. i£m Irving Citerary Society motto On Non Proficit, Deficit Colors Aztirc and Sca-SJicll Piiik Officers Charles Howe President Swain ............

But the man who would be well equipped for life, would cultivate parallel ruts on the subjects pertaining to literature, art and politics. This is the mission of the Purdue Literary Societies. These societies were organized in the earlier ears of Purdue ' s histor}-, and when the Prepdom was a reality. The purpose was to aid in the education of the sadly neglected literar}- side of the student ' s training. But now- the school has reached such a standard that a man is compelled to have acquired a thorough knowledge on this line before he is permitted to be a candidate for a degree in engineering. In former days, as to-day, the Cariyle has always held her place, always striving to reach and hold the standard as high as possible under the circumstances. Her pin, the Roman Gladitorial Sword, avows her determination to enter the arena of warfare with a firm tread, and never to leave except with the word Victory emblazoned on her shield. The attachment, the golden cube, denotes, the solidity and firmness of her purpose. The society hall which the Philaletheans have kindly shared with us is as plea.santly situated and as comfortably furnished as could be desired. lentil recent years it has been customary to di -erge from the usual routine and give Open Meetings, Mock Trials, Picnics, Banquets, etc. The strong point of all of the work done by the Cariyle is its originality. It was she who first conceived the idea of starting a college paper, and it was she who wore for the first time the Oxford Cap and Gown, and originated the annual Clown who won the honors of the day. Although our list of members is small, our hearts are large and we hope to prove ourselves faithful stewards in upholding the honors of Old Carlyle. 5 Carlyle Citcrary Society motto Stiidetc Litcrcc Colors Carmine and Gold Officers Kirk President LaydEn Vice President Hayes Recording Secretary Uray Corresponding Secretarj- Browning ....

Nineteen years have passed since the cardinal and light blue heralded the birth of the now only prosperous woman ' s society at Purdue.

And judging from the success and manner in which it has won a % worthy place among the other societies of the University, it has not fallen short of the intentions and desires of its originators. Although tossed about for places of holding meetings, the Emersonian Idol has never been obscured from the view of its members. Every impediment has been hurled aside, and the Emersonian ever takes steady strides toward success. Its members, prompted with a desire for broad intellectual training, have found strength in unity and training in performance of duty. It is conscientious application to duty which has characterized the membership, and good regular programs have been a feature of the society ' s history. Its members have ever been prominent among the recipients of college honor and active in the inner life of the University. The Emersonian Annual has always borne favorable comparison with any of the others. This society has the largest enrollment of any of the young men ' s societies in the University, and we may prophesy for it a history equally as brilliant and useful as that of the past. 119 etnersonlan Dterary Society i0kffiffi Officers M.

Drake MilvillE Wishard Many persons, no doubt, have noticed that in nearly all of our larger Universities and Colleges, organizations exist which are similar to the well-knoAvn fraternities, and yet are distinct from them. These organizations are usually confined to the members of one class, as for instance, the well-known 6 N E or Sophomore Fraternit} ' . While a few of these societies are national in organization, many more are local, and such is the Senior Skulls of Thirteen of Purdue. The honor of belonging to this organization is second only to the valuable secrets and instructions it imparts, and we may well say, that although a member may forget all else, the memories of a certain — . -f- O will always remain vividly with him.

The ban placed upon it as a Greek-letter fraternit} ' by the Faculty has been removed, and it has been given c|uarters upon the campus, having been recognized in its true sense, an honorarj- societ} ' . As such a society- it is intended to confer due honor upon students of high scholarship (taking the place of medals here at Purdue ) and to promote scientific investigation and knowledge. The men eligible to membership are the upper one-fourth of the engineering students in each class, one-eighth being chosen at the middle of their Junior year, and the other eighth the first of the Senior year. The members are elected by the society from the men recommended by the heads of the depart- ments including engineering students, the candidate being considered not only as to his rank as a student, but also his general character as a man. Meetings are held twice a month, in which lectures are given by professors and visiting engineers; and papers, mostly scientific or technical, are read and discussed. Only members of the Faculty and Society have the privilege of attending the meetings, excepting occasional open meetings, to which the general ■Student body are invited. The badge is the bent of a miniature trestle, worn as a watch-key, having on one side certain symbols known only to the members, and on the other the owner ' s name and chapter. The colors are brown and white. To each member is given a diploma, stating the high rank he has maintained during his collegiate course, his good fellowship, and his consequent election to Tau Beta Pi; and it is with genuine pride that he is able to take his diploma, as age adds prominence to the association.

Whether ' tis due to the fact that ' tis leap j-ear, or whether some of our members have sought pleasanter surroundings, we are unable to say; but we do know that for one reason or another, quite a number of familiar Owl forms are gone from among us. But listen, while we tell you a little of what we have gained. Just after the last rose tint has faded from the west, when tis yet early twilight, just the hour when owls begin to send forth their first mournful notes, people passing b}- our domicile are not a little surprised to hear, instead of a chorus of warring cries, the single song of a new warblei , floating down to the listeners, and, softly accompanying it the delicate tones of a new instrument never before heard in Owldom. Can it be the) ' have introduced a nightingale among them? we hear them wondering, or is it some new species of owl? and we smile to ourselves in a satisfied way when we think of the treasures we have with us. Occasionalh- an old Owl strays back to us for a time, and then how we live in the days gone by! How we blink (to keep back the tears) when we realize that we are separated forever — forever? No, there is to be a grand reunion of all the Owls in June, and then will the dear old campus ring with merriment — when schoolmates, classmates, and best of all, when room- mates, separated for ' ears, can look into each other ' s e} ' es and guess the secrets which have long been treasured for the final outpouring upon that eventful day.

The fresh, .voung blood in the Faculty could not resist the temptation. They organized, elected Mike captain and Luten manager ; then they got Robby, Balliett, Jamison and Marshall to coach them every night in the dorm., armory, basement and any other place that would not attract attention. We organized, too, elected King Joe captain and started to fill up with the best men we had, regular team men and all. This was done, thinking that all the coacliers of the Faculty team would play. But Luten happened ( ?) to see us practice one afternoon and thought we were too good. His next diplomatic move as manager was to limit the game to only those who had never played before. We agreed to this, since we had our foot in it this far, and elected Eddie Allen captain. All practice was fine and gave excellent prospects for a winning team. The day finally came, with every Facult}- team man shaking in his boots. They had to hunt up Klepp with a dark lantern and Dick Smart could not be convinced of the importance of the cause. What a beautiful afternoon it was. The crowd commenced to fill the bleachers, but no Faculty team arrived. There seemed to be some slight misunderstanding. Mike suddenly discovered Eddie Allen to be a professional, having played in his Freshman year on the Fresh- man class team. We granted that after a great deal of wrangling on the part of the Faculty team. We were prett ' anxious to get square and would have granted almost anything if they had insisted. As it was, we chose Tank Talbot captain on his Peruvian reputation. Our coachers, Kercheval and L. C. Smith, soon got in their work and fixed up the team with its new captain and several important changes of position of players. Then we started and played two twenty -minute halves. How Tank did work his half backs and full back 1 Plunge after plunge, gain after gain, a slight loss, another long gain and a touch-down. That is the way we did it four times. Tank ' s foot hit the ball just right twice and the game ended with a score of 20 to o in our favor. Chat Seniopf acuity Game Cine up of Ccams ' ( Seniors Michael . Spikp:r .

Thus, -iewed from different standpoints, one may make for himself a story to fit the circumstances or point of observation. One afternoon I strolled into the depths of this pine forest in search of quiet, rest, shade, and sweetly-scented balsam air, and found myself before the ding - old frame building so curiously dubbed the Armory. I was startled at hearing loud shouts and peals of laughter together -n-ith shuffling of feet, instead of the accustomed measured tread and ringing military commands. I pushed the heavy door open, and what a sight met my eyes! There were girls and girls running frantically hither and thither, beating a poor little ball, seemingly without anv aim in -iew. 165 These chamiing girls, -svhom I knew onlj ' in the garb of the modern school girl, or of the society belle, were arrayed in Tvirkish — well, in fact, bloomers of dark blue flannel. Upon the walls of the old Armory were hung dumb-bells. Indian clubs, wands qnd chest weights; from the ceiling hung rings, ladder, horizontal bar and punching-bags, and upon the floor stood a horse, some parallel bars, and all about were strewn heavy mattresses. All this I took in at a glance, for scarce had I stepped inside when an awful scream went up, and the girls ran helter skelter for a side room, and I was kindly requested to make myself scarce. In other words, I, a man, was not welcome. I learned, to my sorrow, that I had made a mistake, and that if I would return in the evening I might receive a more cordial reception. Well, I was so charmed with the glimpse that I had gotten that I returned in the evening and found the place bright with many incandescent lamps, and man} ' classes of athletic, orderly men gracefulh using the apparatus. I watched this clock-work drill for an hour, and then everybody broke out in a whirl of good time, each one for what he specially cared, while the great instructor, Mr. Balliet, withdrew. Probably the most conspicuous thing in the large room is a sign, gorgeously gilded and bearing this inscription: The apparatus in this Gymnasium was presented by the class of ' 95- An earnest talk with the instructor revealed to me the great use to which the gift of the class of ' 95 has been put. It is here that the training for the events of the spring Field Day is carried on; the weak phj siques of many of the students are here being strengthened, enabling them to better perform their mental duties. The girls, too, come in for a share in this much needed training and strengthening, and man} ' a pleasant hour is spent profitably there. The Gym is a great thing for the University, and has long been wanted, and the absence of it loudly deplored.

Fox Means Pickens KiNNAIRD MUDD r Parker Taylor Rumely Van Landingham MULI, w Cbe Hnnuals ACH year there is set aside at Purdue a week known as Annual Week, during which time the four litera ry societies of the college show to the public and to each other the results of a year ' s experience in literar} ' training. Each society tries to excel the other in oratory, originality of thought, program, and decoration. This year has witnessed elaborate preparations in all directions, and although some niav deserve more criticism or praise than others, the annuals were better than ever before, and positively disclaimed the alleged decay of the literary societies at Purdue. The week was ushered in by the Emersonian to a full house, and an appreciative audience. The decorations of burlaps and rope, together with the rude wooden chairs, upon which the performers sat, and the palms, ferns, and cut flowers, gave the audience the assured feeling of a program of sterling quality. The following program was admirably given, and those who deserve special mention are Mr. Crist and Mr. Esterline.

The performers, in the conventional evening dress, ofFereii a program that was what might be termed up to date in even.- particular. The most novel production of the week was enacted by the Ir -ings, in a mock quarrel as a means of ending a stor - which was just at that point intensely interesting.

Che electrical engineering Inspection Crip V V4 HE inspection trip of 1S96 included a visit to the principal engineering plants in Milwaukee and Chicago. The new faculty regulations governing such trips made it possible for a larger number of students to take advantage of the opportunitv of seeing Vai L I something more of practical engineering life than usual, and a thoroughly representative body enjoj-ed the ups and downs attendant upon such occasions. Leaving LaFayette, via the Monon railroad, in a private car on Monday morning, Milwaukee was reached just before noon, after a - pleasant though rather uneventful trip. The view, on emerging from the depot at Milwaukee, was charming — a lovely prospect of lake, breakwater and headland. If first impressions are lasting ones, it is not to be wondered at that Milwaukee is a favorite with travelers. The engineering features of Milwaukee are very diversified and well adapted to bring out the salient points of modern practice. The contrasts in some instances are marked and the comparisons valuable. In the Pabst brewery, for example, which is one of the largest establishments of its kind in America, the power is distributed entirely by belting and line- shafting. Some of the shafts are several hundred feet long, and, of necessity, absorb in friction a large percentage of the power transmitted. At the Val Blatz brewery, on the contrarv, the electric motor has supplanted shafting at every available point. In one instance the use of two motors has done away with five hundred feet of shafting and effected a constant saving of over fifty horsepower. Two small wires, conveying current from the power house to the top- most tower of the huge factory, tell a tale of discarded belts and pulleys innumerable. Ii7 Another very instructive establishment is the E. P. AUis Works. To be a great engineer a man must have an enlarged horizon of thought. Cramp the intellect of the greatest mind, and little will result. The ponderous machinery of this great factory, that covers over twenty acres, is a revolution to the man of ideas. Large units — other things being equal — mean high efficiency, and yet it requires far greater skill to successfulh- devise and construct one large unit than hundreds of small ones. It is a hard matter to mentally do justice to a thirty-six foot driving wheel, but, having seen one in the impressiveness of its just proportions, the mind possesses a treasure of exceptional value. The two phase transmission plant of the ]Mil vaukee Harvester Companv possesses the special feature of individuality. It is the only plant of this type in the central western states. The important field for engineering work that has been opened up by the introduction of multiphase apparatus could not have been better illustrated. Tucked away in almost impossible places the induction motors noiselessly perform their work. Free from all the small complex parts that encumber many other forms of electrical apparatus, they forcefully brought before the mind the value of simplicitj-. To added grace add reduced cost of operation with equal efficiency, and their storj- is told. Chicago, from the technical standpoint, possesses no less interest than Milwaukee. It is seldom one can find a single plant holding within itself a general education for the student. The Washington street station is notable on this account. From the boiler room, with its two representative types of boilers, to the switchboard, it is replete with interest. The simple and compound engines on the first floor transmit power to lineshafting on the third floor by means of rope drives. To this shafting the electrical machinery on the second floor is belted, and on this floor are arranged fourteen kinds of electrical apparatus, representing almost every type of dynamo-electric machinery. With all this variety, however, the station is well designed 4nd gives a good idea of economic distribution under exceptional circumstances. In marked contrast to this station, we have the Harrison street and Western avenue electric light and power stations. Here the most modern ideas of large units and the centralization of power pre ail. One needs to look no farther for an example of the best modern station practice. It must not be inferred from the above that other important branches of electrical industry were neglected on this trip. An all round development demands, above all things, the power acquired by diversity of thought. The inspection of the great Chicago Telephone Exchange, supplemented by the splendid lecture deli ered to the party by Mr. Hibbard, removed many of the mj ' steries incident to the innumerable ramifications necessarily attendant upon i great telephone business. The large factory of the Western Electric Company, where the processes of the manufacture of almost ever}- form of electrical supplies is carried on, was exceptionally interesting. The stages through which the incandescent lamp passes on its way to perfection were beautifully illustrated and illuminated by the courtesy of the Sunbeam Incandescent Lamp Company. Here also were seen some ery wonderful results of Roentgen photography. Clearly defined pictures of a sheep ' s head five inches thick were exhibited, and various semi- successful attempts upon the human head were also shown. Throughout the entire trip we were impressed with the value of such excursions to the student. Appreciating the exceptional opportunities, there were no willing stragglers even in this exceptionally large party. Who knows better than the college man how to combine politeness, a certain indefinable, rugged good fellowship, business and pleasure ? Those who think there is no poetry in the motion of cogs and cams, and that engineering is of necessity mechanical, exacting, dirty and dry, should have made one of this party that each day returned to headquarters cheerful in spite of the hard tramp, and full of self-satisfied consciousness of time well spent. And through these days what but the dr}-, exacting monotony of engineering had instilled such enthusiasm and produced such results. fMmllf 189 Senior €lvll Endineerittd Crip ' 4 ' 4 ' 4 OTH instructive and pleasant in the superlative degree is the character- istic of the trip taken by the Senior and Junior Civil Engineers, to Mil- waukee and Chicago, in March. In the first place there were enough of us, together with the Electrical Students, to fill a coach, and hence we traveled in a private car. ( )ur arrival in Milwaukee was heralded by an air-splitting Purdue yell, and Mr. Geo. S. Bartlett of the Milwaukee Cement Co., who met us, was- seen to hold his ears, for fear of bursted drums. This j;entlenian introduced us to Mr. J. R. Berthalet, also of the Milwaukee Cement Co., and we took a six-mile ride in the com- pany ' s private car, out to their interesting works. Rut this was only the beginning of a .series of profitable sights to be seen. So we will hasten brieflv along. However, before we leave these hospitable gentlemen, we want to heartily acknowledge the boxes of cigars that were at our disposal, by their generosity. Next we visited the North Point City pumping station, the cit}- flushing tunnel, and the Helton street viaduct. Thus was a good day ' s work done, and the St. Charles held a tired set of students that night, barring those who saw the elephant. Pabst Brewing Co. ' s Works, the grand new city hall, E. P. . llis Works, Edison Power House, and Gibbs Dynamo Company, constituted the round for the next day, and seven o ' clock found us all ready to rest on our train for Chicago, ready to dream of the royal hospitality of the Pabst people. The Clifton was fine, but we prefer the St. Charles. However, we saw very little of our palace quarters, and devoted ourselves strictly to sections 13, 14 and 15, also sections I — A B C D E and F of the great Chicago drainage canal, in a gale of wind. It is a great piece of wor ' K for us Civils to see, and although we didn ' t care particularly for the 12-mile walk, we did admire the gigantic hoisting machinery, and especially the cozy station, when we reached it that night Chicago is a great place at night, and I tell ' ou but I nmst tell you what we did next day. Thursday we spent the morning in the mammoth Illinois Steel Works, that is, all of us who were not lost. It is wonderful how some of us would get lost, and be found down town just in time for supper. We had a sumptuous banquet out of our lunch boxes at noon, and then proceeded to inspect the Chicago Ship Yards, and the National Smelting Works. That 190 ni ht we went in small groups, or by ourselves to but pshaw! I find nivself wan- dering again. Friday morning we spent under ground in the tunnels being built under Chicago for fresh water supply. Pullman was our next point of attack, and under the genial guidance of Mr. Doty, editor of the Pulhnan Journal, we were shown the monster Pullman Works, and were especially interested in their almost perfect drainage system, and method of sewage disposal. On our way to and fro we visited the Worthington Pumps Sale Rooms, and several interesting bridges, among which we recall as especially interesting the Rolling Basculi Bridge on Van Buren street. Saturday, our last daj ' , will never be forgotten, because of our sea voyage, with its numerous pale faces, empty stomachs, and denials of illness, etc. Of course our ship was but a tug, and to make it more pleasant, the lake was running high, and well there are many ands, but I was too sick to put them all down in my note book. (Between you and me, that ' s only written for effect, as I didn ' t even have a note book.) VVe visited the four-mile and two-mile cribs, so I am told, and those of us who could, went down the new brick tunnel just starting from the crib. Mr. R. B. Wilcox was our considerate guide and was very kind to us sick fellers. Land seemed verj ' comfortable, and the hotel lounge a paradise. After dinner we visited the Chicago Avenue Water Works Pumping Station, and the Permanent Building Exhibit. That night we gathered ourselves together from all quarters of Chicago; for some of us had gotten lost, and found ourselves only in time to pull out for LaFayette on the night train, again in our private car.
