some drawings. We received our cards in the Alumni building this year, and, after the Director told us what we were to take next term, he said: Gentlemen, I want to con- gratulate the class on the way it passed the examinations. 'I did n't think you would do it. After that many of us breathed easier. During the second term we have had Thermo-dynamics under Prof. Anderson, and are now having Electro-dynamics. Neither of these courses is especially interesting and I doubt if any of us know any more about them than is required. We are now having a course of lectures with Prof. Parsons on steam engines. This consists of two lectures a week, each two hours long, and it almost goes without saying that these lectures are not especially exciting. Geology, which we are now taking under Prof. Clarke, is quite an interesting subjectg nobody studies very hard over it, though. All that remains for us now is a short course in Metallurgy under Prof. Mason and the preparation of our graduating theses. Some of the men have started working on their theses, but the majority have not done so as yet. Because this history deals largely with the Work we have, one must not imagine that we are unable to devote any of our time to pleasurable pursuits, for most of the class believe in the principle of pleasure first and then study.
