A., vvas born.in Stock- port, Columbia County, N. Y., on .Tune 1, 1868. Upon the death of his father in 1871 his mother took up her residence in Hudson, N. Y., with her children and there he resided until he entered the Institute. His early education was gained in the public schools of Hudson but his love for mathematics was absorbed by him from his grand- father, Who resided With him for a greater portion of each Winter, and many knotty problems were labored over during the long Winter evenings. He Was graduated from the Hudson High School in 1884, and vvas in the employ of the city engineer of Hudson during the summer of '84. He continued his studies privately and prepared to enter Williams College in the Sophmore class, but an advertise- ment of the Institute attracted his attention and he decided that the scientihc and mathematical Work done here Would be more to his liking. He therefore entered the Institute in 1887 and was graduated in 1891 with the degree of C. E., being chosen a member of the Sigma Xi. He spent the following year at Iohns Hopkins University, intending to remain there three years to obtain his Ph. D. The position of Assistant in Mathematics Was, however, offered to him in 1892 and he accepted it, the vvork proving so congenial that he did not return to Johns Hopkins. He married Miss Cora Eustis Medberry of Cambridge, Mass., and in 1896 was granted a year's leave of absence Which he spent at Harvard University in post graduate study in mathematics, receiving the degree of B. A. and M. A. Professor McGiffert's fondness for mathematics is only exceeded by the interest which he takes in the students under his charge and it is With pleasure that vve look back on the time spent in the class room undera gentleman at once so thoroughly at home with his subject and one so capable of guiding others through that rather difficult subject-mathematics. f HI have eftablifhed a fchool . . . in Renffelaer County . . . for the purpofe of inftructing perfons, Who may choofe to apply themfelves,in the application of Science to the common purpofes oflifef' STEPHEN YTAN RENSSELAER..

The present re-setting was not prompted by any errors or omissions discovered in the previous work, but was necessary in order to record the observations of 1902, those made during our three years life at the Tute. The TRANSIT Board in putting forth this volume has not aimed to make a literary master-piece, but rather a work to record impartially and Without adornment the serious and humorous sides of undergraduate life at the R. P. I. We have endeavored not to be too pessimistic nor too optimistic-a happy medium was sought and each can judge for himself hovv successful We have been in attaining our object. In making our observations through the 1902 TRANSIT, cloudy days were given no precedence over sunny ones, nor vice versa. With an extensive held of view and vvith lenses of the very highest magnifying povver, We have been able to bring out many of the finer details needed to show the true natures of the men vvho are to increase and to perpetuate the fame of America's Oldest Engineering School. 11 The high standard set by preceding classes in editing their issues of the TRANSIT made the task on which we set out last fall a very difficult one, but we were not to be discouraged, we laid our plans with business-like methods, and with grim determination we have followed these as a hunter would follow a trail. We are con- Hdent that success has rewarded our many weeks of ceaseless labor, and in presenting this volume of the TRANSIT to you we believe we have gotten out a book of which every man in the lnstitute may be proud, and one of which the most fastidious cannot complain. We have criticised where we thought criticism was needed, but in so doing we have always tried to keep justice first in mind, and those men who have received what they consider an undue amount of critical attention may console themselves with the fact that they have unconsciously, perhaps, contributed to the success of this volume, and we wish to thank them for furnishing us with such excellent material. Now, dear friends and fellow students, before passing judg- ment upon this book kindly take into consideration some of the above facts, and allow your sense of charity to favor us in your criticism. Before closing we wish to mention the fact that while the difficulties of the TRANSIT were many, the loyalty of our friends in assisting us with contributions of material and with advertise- ments was pleasing to note and helped in no small degree to soften the hard road we had to tread. To these and all others who helped us by word or deed we tender our sincerest thanks.

I know that none of us felt like ciigngied seniors-perhaps we were notg at least we did not behave as such. Most of us stayed at the Fairvale Hotel. Our rooms were fair, the waitresses were fair and our fare was fair. If you want to know anything about a certain fair waitress, ask Jimmy Quirk about the way she admired his appetite. A few stayed at a house across the road Cyou couldnlt call it a streetj from the hotel-they stayed in spite of the wishes of their landlordg but it was no fault of theirs that somebody else called and K' put the place on the bum. The town was too sleepy to furnish us with much fun, although we made the best of our opportunities. The first night we were there we tried to arouse the slumbering inhabitants by paradin g up and down the road, about 10 P. M., shouting and ringing the large dinner bell from the hotel, but our efforts were vaing not a soul was disturbed enough to remonstrate. Well we at last finished running the line from Comstocks to Middle Granville. Then we packed our duds, not omitting a few souvenirs, and left the place without a sob. , 26 ,xi As soon as we returned to Troy, we began the office workl' of our survey by drawing profiles. We considered ourselves indeed fortunate when We learned that, thanks to some very considerate member of the second section, we would not have to trace the topo- graphical maps made in the field. Then it happened that we had a longer vacation just before the term began than we expected. During the first term we were occupied, among other studies, with Resistances, Stone Cutting and Bridges. Resistances is a subject appropriately named, as we soon dis- covered. Considerable work was expected by us in applying force of will to overcome Resistances, and we found that the efficiency of many of us was only 2.5 because of the amount of energy wasted in the form of heat. After spending more than three days on the T'eory of 'ii 'ree Moments, we knew nothing about it. But a few brilliant minds redeemed the class by displaying marvelous knowl- edge of store beams and cheese columns. We had heard a great deal about the last course with Thompyn and had gotten the idea that Stone Cutting was worse than cutting eye teeth. So we went at it, not hammer and tongs nor mallet and chisel, but chalk and ruler, till those stones assumed all sorts of shapes and positions in obedience to our will. A few conscientious fellows took special pains in making their modelsg but among the rest of us the coping stone of the wing wall and the keystone of the plate band were exceedingly popular. We received Thompyis milk tickets with the joy that comes from having finished a long course of study in Descriptive and Stereotomy. When we took up Bridges we thought it a mass of reactions, shears and moments and stresses in every direction, mixed up with a couple of locomotives backing and going ahead, a few road rollers and a mob of people crowded on a highway bridge. Those swing bridges whirled in all directions and Pratt trusses chased back and 6 forth on their bed plates till Buck didn't know whether there 27 was one truss or two. And those dead loads used to travel along webs and chords in as lively a manner as any live load. L' Billy displayed not only his own hazy ideas of the subject, but those of all of us, when one day in class he began: Say, Prof., if you turned this deck bridge over so that the bottom chord would be on top, I mean if you ran a train over the bridge upside down? H and then stopped because those ideas were inexpressible. But our ideas soon became clearer in spite of Hambiguitiesl' and other coin- plications, and we found the review easy. VV e thought we were worked rather hard in the first term, and we looked forward to a much easier time during the second term. Several of us were disappointed. Thermo and Electro were not as easy as expected. Geology took considerable time to prepare in order to even make a bluff at knowing itg and IVater Supply, objectionable to our tastes, nasty sewers, and positively Qnot nega- tivelyj shocking electrical experiments took more time than we were willing to give to them. Prof. Grabau's lectures were interesting enough, but were highly objected to by hungry seniors when they lasted later than noon. Une day when the lecturer stopped speaking in order to take breath, half the class ClfpCZ7'671ZLZjf thinking that he had finished, rushed out the door. Of course there was nothing for the rest of us to do but follow. And so, after we had all rushed, the recitation came to an end. Our class is the first to make use of the new laboratory. VVe are indeed fortunate in having experiments with such good electrical apparatus and machinery. The term, the year, the course at the Institute is drawing to a close. '01 never was a pilly classg but we think we have acquitted ourselves satisfactorily. Now we look forward to being actively engaged in the professiong and we believe that '01 will not fail to uphold the fame of dear old R. P. I. 28 J I V ' K V 1 J.

He fell off his wheel the other day and what he said raised the temperature in the immediate neighborhood sixteen degrees and that afternoon there was a red sun set. For some time past Avak has been seriously contemplating matrimony and has been reported married as many as three times in a Week, but as yet the fatal knot has not been tied. Perhaps he will get up courage before he graduates. JAMES WARTELLE BILLINGSLEY, Jkfentorc, Ohio. Born January 29, 1880, at Arcadia, La.g prepared at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa.g President of Y.

VERY great man has his peculiarities, and, if eccentricity is to count for anything, here is the eighth wonder. The most extraordinary trait in Bill's character finds expression in a peculiar superstition. He thinks it bad luck to step on the cracks between the stones of the sidewalk. It was a regular circus to watch him dancing about New York Dewey Day trying to see the sights and miss the cracks at the same time. Bill has delved in every occult science you ever heard of, from hypnotism and mind reading down to palmistry, handwriting and phrenology, not to mention tricks galorel Bill's love for music finds expression in this little ditty-HI Went to the Animal Fair, and you can hear him whistling it at any hour of the day or night within two blocks of the Rankin House. 30 JOHN HENRY BURGOYNE, JR., Fall River, Illzzss.

OHNNY says he knows he knows nobody will know his nose now that his nose is broken-but that hasn't anything to do with the Calculus Cremation Smoker. When Burgoyne passed Calculus he thought he would give up leading a strenuous life and try and hit the pipe in amanner like Daddy. So when Old Gold was being passed he helped himself bountifully, and that night, after Judd and Grid had given up hope, he made his willy and after distributing his earthly possessions among his friends reached under the bed and pulled out a crucible, two test tubes and a beaker, and said: Give these back to Kelley and send for the undertaken Johnny recovered, however, but even now holds his nose when he passes a cigar store, or sees Casey giving away Pittsburgh Stogies.

I-Ie is warranted to crush any feminine heart at sixty paces and in strenuous times like we experienced in Ballston has been known to exert his marvelous powers at even greater distances. For the benefit of Juddy and Rabe and the other men in the class who run whenever they see a woman, we will say that the secret of I-Iam's success lies in his mar- velous ability to bluff. Even the Director has a time with I-Iam's answers, 'so no wonder that the young ladies are wont to listen, and then to sigh and then to believe and then to love and then to regret.

Nothing bad is known about him and we are sorry, for this fact necessarily curtails his history. WILLIAM BURTON, A QP, 0 N E Waz'e1y'0rd, N. Y.

ILLY Burton lives in Waterford when he is at home. You are more likely, however, to find him up at Stubbins Corners calling on some local Maud Muller. Before Bill spent one summer working for the D.

Poor Bill, it Massay had not insisted on shutting up at 4 A. M. he would probably have taken his night's rest on the pool table. He still wears a grin of innocence spread all over his face, but then, One may smile and smile and still be a villain. 32 5 CYRUS KINGSLEY CLARK J W, 6 N E, Allegheny Ciiy, Pai.

Truly, if all his doings were chronicled they would ill a mighty big book, and it wouldn't be allowed in the Boston libraries either Case 's 1 . y favorite hang out is Fettig's. You are sure to find him there about 2 A. M., singing Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here, to a bunch of assembled beer styns. When it comes to the girls-well, hearts are trumps most of the time with Casey. He gets shot about once a month. Shot by Cupid, you understand. QBacchus nails him about twice a week.l He has had so many little ajrzi1'es du coeurn that one begins to wonder whether Casey shook the girl or the girl shook Casey. Considering the unlimited amount of jolly he has up his sleeve the latter case does not seem likely. Yet, it is just possible that even Casey gets an occasional frosty throw down and that, The pain of one maid's refusal is drowned in the pain of the next. MAURICE JAMES Cnoercnfrr, R. S.

For this reason we are unable to go very far into the details of his history, if he has such a thing. After much perseverance we have discovered that J. C.

Hard Tack had really graduated, he smote himself a mighty blow on the thigh and held a jubilee celebration. For was he not now really and in truth the social lion of the Tute. Yea, verily, 'tis true, as Daddy would say. Dote takes the world too seriously and what is far worse includes himself in these morose considerations. That's why he asks so many questions and backs up and starts over so many times before he is satisfied with his pronounciationin interrogation. His one recreation is whistling and an Italian steam peanut roaster can't touch him when he gets started. 34 l FREDERICK WILLIAM FIRTH. I?

When he heard that Poague, the comrade of his childhood, the man who had loaned him'money and postage stamps, the friend who had taken him' home on i' Grand Marshall night, had gone off on an expedition to the Haunted House, he bought a bottle of Mother Winslow's Soothing Syrup to quiet his nerves and set out in hot pursuit. But Fritz never found Poague, because he met with a horrible misfortune while passing through the woods, he lost his pocketbook and to this day refuses to tell what else happened to him.

'BVVR' Foxy has the brain and Foxy has the arm. OXY QUILLER was prominent in Institute affairs long before he took to the stage. He learned the very essence of his now famous methods of deduction from John G.'s course in logic as described in the register. When Fox was in Ballston he wore a worried look for fair. Doty used to have him up cleaning the instruments and sand papering stakes long before daybreak, and only gave him fifteen minutes for dinner, so no wonder the poor fellow looked sick. Fox says that the next time he goes on a survey he wants to be in the section with S1nythe and 'iSchmit and have the job of keeping notes. THOMAS FRANCIS GRA'r'rAN, C0fl06'-Y, N- Y.

'IVVU True bravery is shown by performing without witness, what one might be capable of doing before all the world. OAGUE, not Pug, so be careful about the way you pronounce it, is a brave man. He is also very modest, which is an admirable quality by the way, or you would have heard before now of the two acts which made him a second Hobson and caused his name to be copyrighted for a cigar, a washing powder and a health food. The first occurred in Ballston, and what a display of nerve was shown when he, in the dead of night, paid a visit to that much dreaded haunted house. He looked pale for a week afterwards. The second occurred in Mineralogy Class. It was a dashing stroke and if Prof. had not appeared at the climax, this one move alone would have been sufficient to warrant the placing ,of Freddy Pogue Jacobs' name on the corner stone of the new Lab.

And he never shuts it off, either. It's going full blast from the heights ofthe big drawing room to the depths of that modern Inferno, the Assaying Department.

WVU gg ATHERH KLINE, he of' Port Leyden, Lewis County, N. Y., has been a prominent figure at the Tute for the past three years. He first attracted our attention as the chief opponent of all measures designed to shorten our time for rest and recreation. Father is such a strenuous kicker that it has been rumored that a few government mules are numbered among his ancestors. Aside from being a finished artist at kicking, Father has other characteristics equally prominent. If you have ever seen a boy strutting around in his first pair of trousers you have seen an excellent picture of Father While it is a long time since the gentleman in question donned his irst pair of trousers, the bold and independent bearing of years ago has stood the test Well-the capillary growth on the upper lip being responsible for it all. If Andrew Carnegie gets more pleasure out of giving away libraries than Father does out of his-misplaced eyebrow-Andy is certainly to be envied. Rain or shine, rush or Hunk, day in and day out, that moustache receives no rest. After three years' study we are now able to give this piece of advice-when you see Father throw up the shoulders and pull at the fuzz give him a wide berth for he has on his War paint.

To-day Armour sleeps peacefully 'neath the cool sod of mother earth. Rabe slumbers contentedly 'mid the racket of Troy's busy streets. He generally wakes up in time to go to the Institute, but carries on his work there only as aside issue. His regular vocation is that of official tester of all grain foods on the market. You can find anything in his room from ordinary oatmeal to the latest brand of U-ought-to-havea-sling-of-this Breakfast-food at ten cents a package. After testing five or six cereals Rabe generally needs a constitutional. Twelfth street, Lansingburgh, via River street, is the usual pro- gram. Taking a route through the collar shop district might look suspicious, but there is no danger. If a girl wants to get hold of Rabe she'll have to hire Pat Crowe to kidnap him.

That first bath did him good. lots of good, though there are some who think a second would not be superfluous. But then freshness is directly proportional to our years, and Schumann, as the youngest member of 1902, is entitled to a certain amount. Schumann says he used to think he was good looking, but since his last pictures were taken, he has changed his mind and now he hates to wear the same face two days straight running for fear people will notice it.

On two separate occasions he was present at roll call in Physiography and during the remainder of the course his time of entrance depended so largely on variable quantities that but little faith is to be placed in the theoretical formula found by noting the time he went out the night before, the time he got back, and the time he- got up. and dividing the mean by the number Of days since the last cheque from home.

Billingsley says Solly is stubborn but Bill says that about everybody whose ideas do not exactly coincide with his own.

During the lirst few hours of our stay in Ballston we were somewhat at loss to know how to become acquainted with the young ladies, so Thomson, as President, called the class together and after a short confab with Ham and Johnny and Daddy and the other members, who are noted as originators of schemes and scheming and are familiar With the ways of wornankind, proceeded to take up a collection. The class was then formed into fours and marched up to the drug store, where the instigators proceeded to buy sufficient sweets to propitiate the fair damsels and then went boldly forth as if to battle. When they reached the habitation of the young ladies Tommy rang the bell and when the door was opened began to spout. Oh, what a speech! But it had the desired effect, or else it was the bow at the end thereof that did the business, so We'll forgive him. Not content with this maiden effort, when he presented George with 1902's 'Xmas present he said so many serious things that Pete thought he was in church, took off his hat and dropped a penny in it.

His whole appear- ance seems to say Ain't I de toughest ting dat ever hit the pike. However, he is not the bold, bad boy he appears to be. Brick's toughness is only assumed. He puts it on like a new necktie when he goes out to chase the Belt. An occasional visit to the Star ftwice a weekj and a choice vocabulary add greatly to the desired effect. In fact, he has the make up down to a fine point. As a fac simile of aBowery tough Brick is a great success. WILLIAM HENRY YOUNG, X W, Burlington, Ia.

ILLIAM HENRY YOUNG, the man who made Burlington famous, is not to be confounded with the custodian of the Institute funds, who takes your hundred and gives you a concert ticket in exchange. Next to Smith, Bill is the-well, he's Vice-Chancellor of the Lily Club and further details are unnecessary. It took Bill just three years to cultivate that bay window attachment he wears around and if he keeps on the Democrats will be running him for Mayor of Troy. Bill is a big strapping footballer and well able to do a good day's Work, and we even think that he would enjoy a little labor if it were not for the fact that he was born tired and has never outgrown his birthright. Well, how did Bill make Burlington famous? It was just this way. When Bill blew into the Institute he was well up in all his Freshman work and this enabled him to launch boldly forth into Troy society and he soon endeared himself to the fair ones. As the Institute work progressed, Bill's social duties also increased and he was compelled to adopt measures to keep the two from conflicting. These measures, or rather the grand and inspiring measure adopted by Mr. William, was his system of bluiiing. Two weeks after his 'ftrial trip we had sufficiently recovered to be able to look up in the register and find out what place had produced this marvel and there we read Burlington, Ia. Enough said. The town was made famous, for had not the champion bluifer of 1902 made us wish that we too were Burlingtonians. JOSEPH M. BABE, B. A., R SE., Havana, Cuba.

Vacation is over and gone with it the last vestige of Sophomore foolishness and in its place we find the spirit of the upper classman. How hard it is for the Soph. to realize that only one short year ago he met these same men in cane and Hag and sleigh rush, amusements of lower classmen, and went away sorrowing. How he envies them the privilege of carrying the Red Book . and reciting in the Rankin House. How he would like to investigate the source of all those smells that come out of the Lab and the mysteries of the lower regions during assaying, but dares not because of the consequences. To the new men, the evolution of a Freshman like unto themselves into that all knowing spectacle, is far beyond their comprehension. To trace this change of the raw material into the finished product is my duty, to chronicle the causes which have brought about this evolution-and, incidentally, to blow the class horn, for surely that is the privilege of the historian. The former historian left the embryo civil engineer at a most critical period in his career, he was waiting, expecting and half fearing the second term Sophomore exams. lt would not be well for some historians of some classes to dwell long upon this period of class history, but not so in the present case, as the number of men who took the Ballston survey goes to show. What a jolly crowd it was that assembled under that vast expanse of blue sky and between those few old bricks that makeup the Union Depot, and after receiv- ing instructions from headquarters boarded the train for Ballston. Of all the factors which go to make the Junior year the most pleasant of the four spent at the Institute, the surveys stand iirst. Nothing is enjoyed So much during our whole college course. We hadn't gotten on the train before the enthusiasm had taken possession of us and by the time the Long Bridge was crossed, everybody on the train and the majority of Troy and Green Island, too, knew that the R, P, I.'s were on board. When we reached Ballston the inhabitants thought it was judgment day or a Democratic Convention from Saratoga. After establishing headquarters at The Medberry, we set out on a tramp to locate stations, some of which are not recorded in the note books. Brick soon found a cider mill, and Burgoyne and Ham became devout Episcopalians as soon as they heard about the Rectory, But for the important events and how Clark disappeared and has never since been heard of, you must look to another part of this volume. After the Hydrographical Survey the misery began. The freedom of the woods, and orchards and vineyards of those most hospitable Ballstonians made mathematical gymnastics and all other stuff that had to be dug out of a bulky text book seem bad, very bad. But we buckled down to work and after a few weeks our craniums were once more in working order. Highways, Machines and Calculus was the first dose, and then before we could catch our breath a deluge of Geodesy, Mechanics, Electricity, Dynamos and Chemistry, together with two maps and the Machine Drawing. The worried look we wore until after card night was enough to convince one far less skilled in deduction than Foxey Quiller and Sherlock Holmes that we were bearing the White Man's Burden with a vengeance. Brick says he has had indigestion ever since he learned formulas A, B, C and D, but the rest of us had worse than indigestion long before we got that far, for Brick is a Trojan and knows not what awaits a man in a students' dining room. It was during this period that we were initiated into the mysteries of those awful smells which seem to cause every would be chemist to seek fresh air by means of the Eighth Street windows. All during our Freshman and Sophomore year we had wondered at their odor and had many times been tempted to investigate, but few of us passed within those doors without having the last vestige of our flame of discovery quenched by a veritable cloudburst. Until the day when Billy gave us a receipt for 3315.00 our idea of the Lab was more like River Street on a rainy day than anything else. We feel certain that all intruders during our occupancy went away with the impression that the Hudson had overflowed its banks, or that a double barrel, back action Johnstown flood had struck Troy. VVith the second term our miseries eased up quite a good deal. Recitations in Mechanics, Machines and Structures, under the new President were heartily enjoyed by us all, as there was no end of fun going on notwithstanding the dry subjects in hand. Descriptive Astronomy gave us a new crop of ideas and railroad curves went off nicely, although it is by no means an easy subject, for Professor Raymond has a way of getting the largest amount of work possible out of a man. Mineralogy gave us a new vocabulary, and Physiography, a new course that the faculty sprung on us by way of experiment, took us back to our High School days. ' And now that we look back on it, how quickly the year has passed. Here it is almost time for us to turn over to others the name and privileges of the junior and take unto ourselves a new role-that of the Senior. It's hard to realize that one more turn will bring us into the homestretch that leads to a graduating thesis and the Music Hall. And after that-well, the historian of next year can ill in the blank.

The 15th of September, 1901, found about twenty-live of the men of 1903 in Troy. Unfortunately the remainder of the class did not arrive until the early part of the following week. To that we can ascribe the one defeat that mars our record in Institute rushes. For the cane rush of that day the '03 men in town turned out solidly. On the line-up the Freshmen outnumbered us fully two to one, but that ratio did not prevail when the count up ofhands on the cane was made, We were defeated by a narrow margin. In the rush for the banner that the Freshmen carried in their victorious parade of that evening we were again defeated. And here ends the account of the only day on which 1903 looks with regret. For the month following matters went on with only such variety as the Institute affords. We met Dr. Mason in class for the first time and the memory of the pleasantness of his lectures will long remain with us. We did the adjust- ments and the triangulation work from Eighth street. Many of the class in that survey located churches for the 'first time since their arrival in Troy. We were getting well tired of Physics when the Flag Rush gave us a welcome excite- ment. The Flag Rush notice was posted early in the afternoon of Friday, October 19th, and within an hour 1903 had located the flag. The Freshmen had certainly chosen their position well. The flag hung on a hoop from the cornice of a church tower and the difficulty of the situation was by no means diminished by the church services of that evening and the funeral held from there the next morning. The class, after viewing the flag from a distance, assembled at the Institute early in the evening. It seemed as if each man had a different scheme 53 AXE NJN l L or invention for dislodging the flag. Some brought baseballs to throw, others went further and brought balls with long cords attached, while still others had rockets with cord attached to the sticks. Their faith in the latter was increased when an Albany man provided an adjustable trough to guide their flight. But in the end, recourse to the men of 1903 solved the problem. Few of us will forget that night,-the bluff of going up early in the evening and the disheart- ment of the meeting at 4 A. M., when the loss of our apparatus was discovered. Still will we remember the moment,within a few minutes of the time limit, when two of our men in the interior of the tower dislodged the flag. In the rush that followed, long to be remembered for its fierceness, 1903 showed her mettle by capturing the flag so hardly won. As if by arrangement a minstrel band pro- vided the music for our triumphant march. f Monotony again filled out the Christmas holidays and the 'f butterfly life of the month following made time pass swiftly. With opportunities for which we prayed in vain in our Freshman year, the present Freshman class avoided holding a sleigh rush. In spite of their outnumbering us heavily they seemed to desire a reputation for seclusiveness. That reputation is here formally accorded them. It is with regret that 1903 delivers the Sophomore name into their keeping. At last something had to be done. After starting the movement for Soph- more baseball with its characteristic energy, the class turned its attention to the annual banquet. With at desire to outdo the class of last year it was decided to hold the banquet at the Ten Eyck, Albany. And let it be mentioned that it is just as well for 1903 to hold their banquet out of town and preferably in a new place each year. On Saturday, March 9, almost the whole class gathered at the feast. As was expected there was no Freshmen interference. It was said that night that one could find a Freshman on every corner, eagerly expecting to be captured and invited to the feast, well knowing that the hospitality of 1903 would see to it that he be well treated. Of course the banquet was a success- and certain Institute traditions were gloriously upheld. The Red Evil has since been with us as a blight that falls relentlessly on all and it is not with regret that we approach the end of our second year. With the praise of the Director for our larger number of clean ones we left the Institute last June. With the determination to equal our Freshmen record we entered again in September. lfVe have toiled up the road faithfully and we approach the half-way stone in goodly numbers. Some have fallen- rather, let us say, slipped back-but we are confident of being graduated a larger class in proportion to our initial number than any class for years. And the Historian makes that as a prophecy. HISTORIAN, 1903. 54 llfz-lmfhlln. CLASS HOF '04 C'Ol.Ol3S-Orazzge amz' Blafk. CLASS YELL. Rickeiy rank! Orange and Black Hz'cke!y.' I-1071-ziny! iii!

It was on the thirteenth day of September, in the large hall on the second door of the main building of the Institute, that the Freshmen first assembled as a body, to receive a short but hearty welcome address from Director Ricketts, and to hold their first meeting, elect temporary officers, and transact some slight business. The meet- ing was held a day earlier than usual, but how could it be otherwise, since the energetic class of 1904 was holding it. In their descent to the street, the Freshmen found quite a number of Sophomores gathered on the steps leading from the street to the Institute grounds, who anxious to show that they were such, declined to step aside, so that the Freshmen might pass down the steps. The men of '04 immediately got intoa conflict with the Sophomores, which lasted several minutes, and when it had ended, the members of '03 thought it wise not to interfere with their passing up and down as much as they wished. The second day following saw the class gathered at the Laureate grounds to partici- pate in the annual Cane Rush. Of course, as is always the case, a number of the men were not present, but the percentage was quite as small, if not smaller, than usual. The members of '04 soon had the novel, and unique experience of donning vaseline coats, which is the correct dress for this event, and turned out at one end of the field fully pre- pared and determined to strive their hardest to win from 'O3. The Sophomores soon lined up opposite them, at a distance of about one hundred yards, wearing the same attire as '04, while midway between the two classes were stationed two men from each class, as anchor men. At the pistol shot, fired by the Grand Marshal, both classes sprinted for the cane, and came together with a clash, a lively struggle ensuing, which will never be forgotten by those who participated in it. For a moment or two the struggle was scattered but soon everyone centered around the cane with a grim determination to try his best to get a hand on it, so that during the time limit of seven minutes there was nothing to be seen but a complex mass of contestants surging this way and that. At last, after a time which seemed never to come to an end, the signal was given to cease, and the pile began to disentangle, note being taken of the hands on the cane. The final count was 50 to 24, in favor of '04, so that it won the first rush with comparative ease. On the evening after the rush the class, filled with hilarity on account of its victory over the Sophomores, gathered at the gymnasium, formed behind a band, which it had secured for the occasion, and began its triumphant march through the city. The proces- sion, headed by the band, with the class fiag in its midst, proceeded down the Hill to 58 Seventh avenue, up same for several blocks, '04 was suddenly charged upon in the rear by '03, but the Freshmen quickly gathered around their class Hag, and prepared to withstand all attacks of the Sophomores. The Sophomores filled with confidence, charged the Freshmen again and again, and the struggling mass surged around the Freshmen, holding the fiag. But since most of the '04 men had retained their position surrounding it, it was easily seen that it was hopeless for the Sophomores to attempt to capture the flag from them,-and that the conditions would not change, even though they struggled all night. So that the Grand Marshal called a halt and gave '03 to understand that they were defeated. This was the first time in years that the Freshmen parade had not been broken up and their Hag captured, and it is greatly to the credit of '04 that they did so well. Then the class, having first invited the other three classes to join in the parade, and having, as a host, taken its position at the end, proceeded on its way through the citv. After the Cane Rush everything soon settled down, leaving the members of the class to become acquainted with one another, life at the Institute and hard work. It soon became evident that the members of the class, as a whole, were an energetic, persevering, hard-working lot of fellows, and that they were going to do well during their stay at the R. P. I. The members soon began to realize what work at the Institute really meant, worked accordingly, and so did well in Geometry, Algebra, Projections and French, which were the subjects during the fall. It was on the nineteenth of October that the Flag Rush, which is an affair of yearly occurrence between the two under classes, took place. The notice was posted at two o'clock on that afternoon, and as several Sophomores were standing about at the time, little time was lost by the '03 men in beginning the search for the location of the Hag. The fiag fiuttered from a hoop, caught on one of the towers of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, at the corner of I-Iutton and Twelfth streets. The hoop had been placed in position several days before the posting of the notice, by means of a box-kite, and it had been planned to place it over the cross, on the summit of the tower. Contrary to expectations though, 'the hoop did not catch on the cross but hung over the cornice of the tower suspended by strings with hooks on the ends, which had caught in the slates on the roof. The greater portion of the '04 men were at the church at the time the notice was posted, remaining there from thereon. During the afternoon the Sophomores were only to be seen occasion- ally, and then only in small scouting parties of two or three men. Early in the afternoon three of the valiant Freshmen ascended into the belfry of the tower in order to protect the fiag in case that any of the members of '03 might penetrate intothe church. It became so cold though, and they were so badly in need of provisions that at about nine o'clock, the men, having first received permission of the priest in charge to be permitted to re enter early next morning, descended to the ground in search of warmth and food. It was at eleven o'clock that the first body of '03 men arrived, provided with baseballs to which twine was attached, which they hoped to throw through the hoop and thus dislodge the flag. They were quickly engaged in a slight skirmish by '04, though, and were able to attempt very few shots at the hoop. At the end of about half an hour's fruitless attempts the Sophomores retired, and from then on until the latter part of the morning were only to be seen at times and then in small numbers. One of the plans, which '03 had for get- ting the flag down, was by shooting rockets with strings attached through the hoop, and they had provided themselves with these for the experiment. The Freshmen became aware of their being temporarily stowed in one of the fraternity houses, so that several of the men went down and cleverly captured them, and fired them 05 on the hill to the great chagrin of 'O3. Early in the morning the three men who had been in the tower prepared to reascend, but the priest seemed to have forgotten all about his promise and declined to let them enter, so that they were compelled to leave the tower unprotected. The class 59 then attempted to force its way in but was driven back by the police which had been sent there to prevent serious fighting, so that all '04 could do was to await developments. Shortly before noon the Sophomores again approached in a body but no clash ensued between them and '04. The Freshmen Were now quite eager to see what '03 would endeavor to do. Suddenly, to the astonishment of '04 and to the joy of '03, two Sopho- mores, equipped with long poles with which to knock the flag down, were seen in the belfry. It seems that these two Sophomores had taken advantage of a funeral, in the early part of the morning, to enter into the church, and had there awaited until it was over and ascended into the tower. The Hag was soon dislodged, and it fell to the ground between the two classes. A fierce struggle immediately commenced and had been continuing steadily for perhaps half an hour or more, when suddenly one of the Sophomores, having in some way obtained possession of the Hag, darted out of the crowd. Several '04 men at once gave chase, but, as he was such a Heet runner, they were soon distanced. The rush was now over, and '03 had won, but it was only just in time, for the time limit of twenty- three hours was almost over. Between the Flag Rush and the Christmas vacation nothing eventful occurred, although the combination of Algebra, Projections and French was found quite difficult by many. After vacation reviews began and the men worked faithfully at them, and passed their examinations well. The annual Sleigh Rush was planned to be held on about the middle of February, but the class was unable to hold it for want of snow. The winter was one of the mildest known in years, and noted for its scarcity of snow. The place decided on for the banquet was quite a secluded one, and the Freshmen would almost undoubtedly have won their rush if old Father Wiiiter had not been against them. The Sophomores held their banquet at the Ten Eyck Hotel in Albany on the ninth of March. Previous Sophomore classes had always had their spreads in Troy and usually during the first part of May, but '03 knowing well that if they remained in Troy, the Freshmen would see that they pai-took of a very slight banquet, thought it discreet to hold it out of the city and at an earlier date. During the spring the class organized and equipped one of the best Freshman base- ball teams ever known at the Institute. They played exceptionally well and won most of their games. It is greatly to the credit of the class that it did so well, considering the conditions which prevail at the Institute. The class is the largest which has ever entered the R. P. I. It has shown that it can work steadily and study hard. Only a slight number of the men have gone, and if the rate of decrease is no greater than it has been, it will graduate more men than any other class has ever graduated before. HISTORIAN, 1904.

LAFLIN, '82 VV. H. VVILEY, '66 A. J. SELIGMixN,'78 The Institute X O THOSE who understand the meaning of the term, it needs no further explanationg to the uninitiated, we will say a Word. We do not deem that we are putting it too strongly by saying that the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the foremost institution in the country for the training of young men who desire to adopt the profession of a Civil Engineer. It is true we have no such magnificent buildings and equipment as characterizes the leading universities and colleges of the present dayg but after all, do buildings and equipment give a man his education? No. It is to the instructor and the system of instruction that success is most largely due, and who among our Alumni can deny that their success in the engineering profession, has not been due to the thorough trainin-g received at the Institute, under efficient instructors. The system followed at the R. P. I., aims to give a man a broad and comprehensive view of the several branches of engineering, thus enabling him to exercise some judgment in choosing that branch for which he feels himself best fitted at the completion of his four years of undergraduate study, and a perusal of the engi- 93 neering literature of the day, enables us to tell how well they have chosen. The past year has wrought a few changes in Institute affairs, and it is with pleasure we read in the new register, the name of Palmer C. Ricketts, C. E., President, the first of R. P. I.'s sons to occupy the chair since the foundation of the office, in 1824. Both Alumni and students feel that this change marks a long step toward further advancement. Another new name in the register is that of 1. S. Hodges, A. B., Assistant in Physics, a gentleman with whom we are not as yet thoroughly acquainted, but one who we trust will be able to present to us the rather complicated subiect of Electricity in a manner that will be of some practi- cal use to us in after life. Still another change in the officers of the Institute, is that of Treasurer. Mr. VVilliam H. Young, who has faithfully performed the duties of the above office for the past fifty-one years, resigned on May I, after a truly remarkable term of office. His successor is Mr. james Caldwell. The requirement of Solid Geometry for admission is a progressive step, and it seems that if French were included in those requirements, much valuable time now spent on that subject, could be devoted to some course bearing more directly on the education of an engineer. VVe know that it is the plea of the faculty, that it is to enable us to peruse French works of science, but the upper class man remains to be found who can peruse with any degree of intelligence, even such in interesting work as a French novel. However, the Faculty have had more experience than we have and are doubtless, persuing a policy that will prove most beneficial in the end, and with Professor Ricketts at the head of Institute affairs, we feel confident that the R. P. I. will continue to send out men who will be a credit' to their Alma Mater andto their profession. ' ' ' 'D '3 VS H ' Our President OR the first time in the hi-story of the Institute, an R. P. I. man occupies the office of President, and- it is the general opinion that it would be difficult to ind a 'man more pre-eminently fitted for the position than Director Ricketts. We do not deem it necessary to dwell long on this subject, for who is there among our Alumni and- students that is not acquainted with the untiring efforts of our genial President to maintain the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, as the foremost engineering school of this country? If such men exist, they are surely not true sons of R. P. I. - It is believed' that with an engineer at our head, and one who so thoroughly understands the requirements of engineers, the In-stitute will advance more rapidly I 94 than at any previous period of its history, and it remains now for our Alumni to do all in their power to aid President Ricketts in maintaining the reputation that the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has gained through long years of up-hill work. Moral support means a good deal, but financial support would mean a great deal more in the face of the competition, that the Institute must contend with to-day. In closing we extend to President Ricketts, our best wishes for a long and prosperous term of office, and go our way with the confident feeling that Institute affairs could be in no better or more worthy hands. vs- va ev The Williams Proudfit Memorial Labratory ABOUT two years ago, the Institute determined to provide an Electrical and Testing Labratory for its future students and with this end in view subscriptions were solicited. VV hen the time came to consider the erection of a building, Mrs. Ebenezer Proudfit agreed to give i,lS6,5o0, to transform the Observatory into a building suitable for a labratory. The Wfestinghouse Electric Company of Pittsburg and the General Electric Company of Schenectady together, agreed to give 36,000 worth of dynamos, motors and generators for the Labratory, and I. J. Albright of the Class of 565 agreed to give besides his donation of S2,500, the sum of SI,5o0 a year, forifive years, for the purpose of helping to maintain the building and its equipment. Aside from these liberal donations, about 335,000 was raised among the graduates and friends of the school. The electrical equipment consists of ten of the latest types of generators and motors, supplying direct and every description of alternating current. Size trans- formers are adapted for two to three phase, working at practically any voltage between 100 and 20,000. Both machines and transformers are used for practi- cal tests, and with a full assortment of VVeston and Thomson meters and electro- dynamometers, make an equipment particularly fitted for familiarizing students with electrical machines and transmission. I Besides the electrical plant, there is installed in the Labratory, machines for testing the strength of materials of construction for tension, compression, shear, and bending. There is one 300,000 pound and one 100,000 pound testing machine, which are driven by an electric moter. Also one 50,000 pound machine 95 with special extensions for long column tests, and one 10,000 pound wire testing machine. The cement testing room is fully equipped for the most approved modern tests. Besides a new cement testing machine, it contains slate tanks for briquettes and concrete blocks, a slate moist box, a boiling and steaming apparatus, a shaker for mixing cement and sand, molds, sieves, needles and one of Bausch- inger's micrometeric extensometers. A standard rattler, driven by an electric motor, is used for testing paving bricks, and absorption, crushing and bending tests are also made. A Mechanical Labratory, is something that we have needed for a long while, and now that we have it, let us use it,-not as a picturesque object for free-hand drawing classes, but to further the education of students of engineering. 904' Football HE Football Season of Nineteen Hundred was decidedly a successful one. To the men whose perseverance and grit carried the team through the hard- est season that Rensselaer has ever known we can not give too much praise. To the scrubs, who by their energy and pluck, helped so much to make the team what is was, must also be given our hearty commendation. And to our able Captain and the management, which guided the 'Varsity so well through a hard and brilliant season, belong the thanks of the Institute. They have established a record for Rensselaer in football which will place her name several notches higher in the world of college athletics. Throughout the season there was but one thing lacking, but a prime essential to the success of any college organization. There was a great dearth of enthusiasm and encouragement from those whose duty it was to lend every support. The one thing that a football eleven most needs is the right sort of encouragement and support, and it was the one thing that the team of Nineteen Hundred did not have. Primarily what a thoroughly successful team must have is the enthusiastic good will of the student body, the second essential is a recognition and some little encouragement at least from the faculty. There are few colleges situated as are we in this respect. Almost universally football is a recognized and encouraged branch of college athletics, and the fact does 'much for the advancement of college activity. Successful football is a good thing for any institution. It gives name and 96 prestige in the college world and in the world outside. Far from detracting from scholarship, when established on a proper basis, it does much toenhance it and, certainly, the mere name of a winning team increases the number of scholars and the value of their work. But most of all it creates that loyalty to college annd that love for Alma Mater, which nothing but pride in her success can give. We need loyalty to Almal Mater here at Rensselaer, and we need a successful football team to sow the seed for it. We had a good team this yearg a team that struggled on with the odds all against them and made a record for themselves and for old Rensselaer, that it is 2. pleasure to look back upon. lf we can turn out at team like that with no endeavor at all, think what we might do with a little judicious support properly applied. Next season we can start the year with a nucleus in practically the team of loo. W'ith one or two exceptionns, they will all be with us again and only needing the support which we can give them to establish Rensselaer in college athletics for good. All to gain and nothing to lose makes the experiment well worth trying. Surely the game is worth the candle. Turn out fellows, come up and welll have a football eleven next year that will make you happy. 4P'B -5' Basket Ball IN THIS Department of Athletics the Institute has been represented the past year by a team that has won a reputation to be envied by the best schools and colleges in the country. By faithful attention to practice, the members of the team perfected themselves to a degree never before reached by an Institute team. Too much credit can not be given to Captain Judd for his untiring efforts in the perfection of his team. It is to his varied experience in basket-ball that the excellent team work was due, as many of the moves used by the team this year, were brought here by him. Throughout the year, the 'Varsity showed the true grit, for, though the opponents had a lead, too large to overcome, the team never gave up. A good example of this grit was displayed in the game with Yale. At the end of the first half the score stood 8 to o in favor of Yale. ln the second half the 'Varsity outplayed Yale and succeeded in making one more point than the Yale team. The season was opened with a game out of town and, in fact, it was feared 97 for a time that most of our important games would have to be played away from Troy, owing to the lack of room for spectators in our gymnasium. Fortu- nately Mr. Cornwell was able to make arrangements with the several separate companies, whereby the Armory could be obtained for Fridav evenings. From the time of the First game in the Armory to the and of the season, the team never lacked support from the student body. Financially, as well as athletically, the team has been successful. Beginning the season without a cent the manager, Mr. Cornwell, not only carried it through the entire season without subscriptions from the students, but was able to furnish the team with new suits. The tact that the 'Varsity was self supporting through- out the entire season, reiiects great credit upon Mr. Cornwell. VVith one exception, the teams played during the season, were colleges. Many of the colleges represented, have held reputations for their basket-ball teams in seasons past. Among those defeated by the Institute team are: Syracuse University, Cornell, University of Vermont, and Dartmouth. In spite of the fact that the record made by this year's team was an excellent one, there is every reason to suppose that the one next year will be even better. ln all probability, the line up of the 'Varsity will not be changed, so it will take but a short time for the team to get into condition. Providing the students give next year's team proper support, it will be sate to say that few colleges in the country, will lead us in basket-ball. . r-, Q -- ., ,.

One would naturally expect that a Class of the size of 'o4, would get out and show what kind of stuff they are made ofg but no such demonstrations have occured to our knowledge, since the flag rush. Wfhat we refer to most particularly is the sleigh rush or, more properly speaking, the absence of the sleigh rush. Sleighing was plentiful during the past winter, and the Freshman can onfer no other excuse than utter lack of Class spirit, a shortcoming which will place them on record in Institute history, as the first Class in many years, to break the long established custom of sleigh rushing. There are few old customs at the Institute, yet the action of the Class of 'o , le ' O' 1 C 4 ns gone a ong way toward blotting out one of the oldest. Get together '04, and see if you can't retrieve yourselves in next year-'s rushes. 'B' YG' 98' E lflAX Ii taken particular pains to make the artistic features of this edition of the Transit worthy of the Institute, and without spirit of bragging, we think that the cuts have come up to this high standard. To I-Iaskell, '97, belongs most of the credit. It would have been almost impossible for us to have published the book without his assistance. Pick up any edition before '96, when 99 he began to do this kind of work and notice the striking difference between it and the books of the last few years. His drawings show a remarkable degree of painstaking, originality, and artistic ability seldom met with in college publi- cations. It is gratifying to note that the work of our other contributors is also worthy of merit, and we wish to thank them for their kindness in making these contributions toward the success of the 1902 Transit. '3 U'8' ETWEEN you and me and the lamp post, what do you think of the ten commandments adopted by the R. P. I. Union, and publicly set forth in the Y. M. C. A. hand-book as Items of Interest and Profit to Freshmen ? It seems to us that they are things of beauty. Not that we have become contami- nated with a Wfest Point spirit of buldozing, but it is a striking fact that something of this sort is absolutely necessary to take a man through the period of cane rushes and entrance exams. successfully. It is to be regretted that these obligations were not adopted at least a year earlier than they were, for had that been the case, the disagreeable exhibition of freshness which found expression in an article in the Polytechnic entitled A Protest from a member of 1903, would not have been forth coming. i WP V6 'U G EORGE, says that the old Main Building came near having a genuine case of nervous prostration, when it was noised abroad that the Sophs. had gone to Albany for their banquet. Now the Main Building has in times past, seen many old Institute customs thrown to the winds without so much as a quiver, but this was, the last strawf' for when a Class nails a washrag to the side of a house some thirty feet above the water with such a profusion of spikes that it resembles an eighty mesh seive, supports an attack on the Grand Marshall and then goes to Albany for their banquet, we wonder that the Main Building didn't have a case of the blind staggers or something worse. 'QTVR' T IS to be regretted that no steps were taken this year to inaugurate a field day. There are more students in the Institute now than there has been for many years, and it seems reasonable to suppose that a held day would be a most successful aHair. It is true that the men have little time to devote to track A 100 atheletics, and a still greater drawback is the absence of a track within a reason- able distance of the Institute. It is not only in track events, but in football and baseball, that we feel the lack of a field for practice, and it seems that if the student body would get together such a Held might be secured at a reasonable rental. Wliat we especially need is the support of the faculty. 'We do not necessarily mean by this, financial support-although it would be gladly received-but moral encouragement alone would go a long way toward establishing athletics on a firm basis at the Institute. 'WWW NE thing that the Institute lacks that is especially noticeable at times like the Gold parade, Calculus Cremation, and Gl'Hl1Cl Marshall night, is a good ringing song. It is true we have A Son of Qld R. P. If, and Qur Almer Mater, both of which go to supply this want, but anyone who has heard our efforts at rendering these, is not to be blamed for any remarks on the sidef, If some of our musical fellows woul'd think this over during vacation it might help matters. The Transit Board, have made some efforts in this direction, and the result may be found on another page of this volumn. The tune at least, is familiar, so brace up, and lets show Troy that its not so bad, if the rest of us make enough noise to drown out Podmore's bass and I-Iiggin's tenor. VDVFVS' OVW that we have the Electrical and Testing Labratory, a new problem presents itself, how can time be found, with all the work we are now struggling under, to devote to the experiments? It is not so easy to solve as it might appear to those who are unacquainted with Institute work. R. P. I. has the rep. of being the hardest school in the country. And some of us have probably heard it spoken of as a place where they find out how much work a man will stand and then add enough more to use up any surplus energy that might be generated with the desire to kick. The faculty, after duly considering the matter, have decided to change the schedule of subjects to some extent. Solid Geometry will be required for entrance and several other subjects will be transferred to the class below the one that it has been in formerly. Idle are inclined to smile when we hear fellows from other colleges blowing about 'ltwelve hours a week. 101 HERE has been quite a little talk among the members of the Graduating Class, relative to the wearing of caps and gowns at the commencenient exercises. The faculty was consulted in regard to the matter, but as it was something new at the Institute, the proposition was not received with much enthusiasm. There are a good many things to be said in favor of a uniform dress for such an occasion, and to our mind the regulation cap and gown is the most suitable apparel that could be chosen. The expense is small, the cap and gown look well and add dignity to the occasion. IN7e can only graduate once from old R. P. I., why not do it in proper style. 'S' 9' 9 AST year the boisterous conduct of some of the Freshman, made it necessary to close the gym. A committee was appointed whose duty it was to pro- tect the apparatus from the malicious destruction of these vandals, and for a time all went well. This year, the same thing has happened although to a less extent than form- erly, and it might be well if harsher measures were adopted at the next meeting of the Union, which would enstill into such persons a proper regard for Institute property. 'DWG OOD bye, Igor. Wfe are really sorry that you've got to leave us. VVe have forgive you long ago those things which made us the bitterest enemies during the first two years of our acquaintance. And now, while we envy you the privilege of going to Music I-Iall and awaiting your turn at drawing that bit of sheepskin, which represents four years of such hard work and such good times, yet we wish to be the nrst to congratulate you on your success.

Alas, there was one of their number, WVhose time in a hammock was spent. Wliere he to a maiden, one evening, Recited an ear load of rhyme. They scrapped and made upg lunchecl on candy And had a most beautiful time. And after the hammock was weary, So weary it almost collapsed, Cui' junior was still quoting verses, Nor cared how much time had elapsed. Until with a lingering reluctance For home, ':Solly, started at last. And while he had been in the hammock, just four blissful hours had passed. I H 9 Q n'L'r1'A mu WILLIAM H. YOUNG, '02, RALPH W.

The Senior Survey N THE 2oth of August, 1900, Troy was awakened from the sleep, into which it had fallen since june, by hearing the familiar t'Rah Rah Ralf, resounding through the roof and out from the majestic walls of the once proud Union Station. After thus doing our duty, we boarded the train and in due time arrived at a jumping off place called Comstock. Here we found a large carry-all, and the smiling face of Eddy beaming on us from a buggy. We all piled into the carry-all, bag and baggage, and commenced our ride to North Granville, which we learned was about six miles away. Shortly after starting, Showers produced a megaphone from the depths of the wagon and proceeded to enlighten anybody within a quarter mile radius, as to who we were, and also to our importance. Sometimes a person seemed stupid, in which case, the megaphone was not always as polite as it might have been. However, as the stupid persons were always a good distance off, the Hmegf' could afford to be impolite. Incidently we woke up some R. V. Wffs by our yells and vocal selections. Qn the way, it often became necessary to get out and push, these occasions were always taken advantage of to raid the neighboring apple orchards. Wfe finally arrived in North Granville, and drove up to the Fairvale Hotel with a great Hourish of megaphones. Here we found Raymond, genial as ever and surrounded with our implements of slaughter. W7 e soon learned from the proprietor, that North Granville con- sisted of about five houses and twenty inhabitants with of course, the saloon, viz.: the hotel. The hotel was not roomy enough for us all and some had to secure quarters at an Academy down the road. On going to our rooms, some of us were confronted with such signs as, There's No Place Like Homew, etc., which the enterprising landlady had put up. After dinner we were formed in two sections, and informed that we were to run an electric road from Middle Granville to Comstocks, one section working from North Granville to Middle Granville, while the other worked from North Granville to Comstocks. NV e then started out to look over the route, and returned in time for supper. After this we sat around the porch listening to the unbroken silence, until our orchestra, ably assisted by the phonograph representative of our class, proceeded to enlighten the yokels sitting around. After this diversion, most of us retired to the poolroom which was quite conveniently situated near the ale can. 130 The next morning at breakfast, we were startled by a girl singing out ioatflake F This girl evinced a special fondness for jimmy Quirkg but more about that later. VV e started out immediately after breakfast, and covered considerable ground by dinner time, the rate varying inversely as the length of time it took to wake up the rear flagnian. XV e returned to the hotel for dinner, and did so for the hrst few days, after which we had our lunch sent out to us. Our work progressed rapidly and inside of two weeks we had run our preliminary and location lines, and had done some cross sectioning. During the progress of this work, we used our refined methods of rod holding, for a description of which see Gus and f'Buck. - . The evenings were not all spend so quitely as the first. The dinner bell, which was a small affair, but having a mighty voice, was paraded down the one street of the town, proclaiming dinner at the proper hour for the Filipinos. Beds were relieved of their legs for various causes and the contents of water pitchers, placed where a fellow could take a bath quite comfortably.. Qne evening, Eddy was treated to a free circus and sideshow combined, when he inadvertently poked his nose into one of the rooms. ft was very fortunate that the fair ones in No. Granville were scarce, as the costumes of the fellows addited to mid-night walks, were not always as full as they might have been. You may wonder at the absence of the girl', in this description, but to tell the truth, there was only one in the town, and Jake had her cinclied. The servant girl afore mentioned, happened to make a remark about -I. Qfs appetite, one day when we were immediately treated to such a burst of eloquence that we after after looked upon I. as the Demosthenes of the party. It would not be fair to the town not to mention the effort they' put forth to show our orchestra how to play. This effort consisted of a band concert. The leader of the band was apparently chosen because he could blow the Cornet the loudest, and at the same time make the most expressive faces at his musicians, who kept one eye glued on him and the other on the music. VVliile music is on the program, I might metntion the entertainment we attended at Granville. This was our sole opportunity of observing the fair ones of that region, and we did so observe. Gn our way back, we made sure that nobody got to sleep before we did. At last the time for oiiice work came round, and we left No. Granville and its ale can, to resume the sleep from which we had awakened it, and returned to Troy for one more year. 4 131 The Ballston Survey F ALL the expeditions that ever set out for Ballston, this was the most remarkable. Twenty-eight college men in every conceivable get up, the due allotment of dress suit cases, instruments and notebooks, two professors, and Kelley-that was the size of it. 1902 was off on the junior Typographical Survey, and if ever you saw a jolly crowd of fellows, it must have looked like this one. Prof. Cary had been up to Ballston a few days prev- ious to our embarcation, and when the news was noised abroad that more en a hundred of them surveyors were coming, the hair of the inhabitants rose on end and their knees smote together with fear and trembling, for they had had an experience with the Classes of '96 and ,Q7 that was worthy of remembrance Wlieii the proprietor of the Medberry learned that his hotel was to be head- quarters, he treated his friends all round, raised his 1D1'lC6S',4O per cent., and declared a dividend. The police force called out the reserve and the young ladies got out their Sunday bonnets. And thus the town prepared to receive its visitors. About eleven o'cl0ck, on the morning of September 17, IQOO, after a sere- nade twenty-six miles long, we announced our arrival in Ballston with a good old fashioned yell, and then set out for the Medberry. Here most of the bunch registered and immediately began to locate the rear roomy' of the hotel, even before the instruments were unpacked. These preliminary' observations con- tinued all the afternoon and until far into the night. A few of the fellows who wanted just one more taste of good home cooking, began a search for rooms and board among the Ballstonians and the satisfied look they wore after the first dinner and the smile and wink which plainly said- Pretty girls down at our place, were too much for most of the hotel crowd, and the second day out found nearly every man installed in a private family. After dinner we did the town under the leadership of Cary and Chillman, By doing the town we mean that we went over the ground of our future labors, and not what some people have reference to when they use the phrase. Then captains of the sections were elected, lots drawn for the different portions of the 132 work, and observations made on Polaris, and after which our labors were over until the next morning at eight. Notwithstanding such a busy afternoon pre- parations had been made for the conquest of the evening, and after we had washed up and eaten until the waitresses were pale in the face, we were ready for the frolic. I juddy, swiped a soup plate and a pewter spoon and organized the band, and to this music we marched. As we passed the drug store we noticed some attrac- tions other than the soda fountain and we all filed in and watched Tommy buy a Cll1'1'1S,S worth of chewing gum and stick candy mixed. A little later another bevy of Ballston maidens was sighted in a nearby grocery store and we all went in with Prof. Chillman, who bought two cents worth of sulphur matches to give away. After wandering around for quite a while, I2-urgoyne and Ham, who had been sent out as scouts, reported about seventeen or twenty peaches up at the parson- age,l' and then Burroughs took a collection to buy a peace offering of candy and we set out. After a serenade by the band and a song, Tommy stepped out from the circle, and thus addressed the ladies on the porch: Oh most beautiful daughters of this most beautiful village, I utter no mere complimentary phrase 'iwhen I say that we, your most humble worshippers, are delighted, yea, even unto ecstacy at finding ourselves in your benign presence. VVho can add another perfume to the violet, or by any ingenious process coin phrases suffic- iently laudatory of your charms and sweetness? If such a person is to be found he is surely among the number standing with uncovered heads before you. Try us, test us, and judge for yourselves. We most sincerely trust that there is naught in our mode of introduction that will prejudice you against us, and now in token of the love we bear all womankind and on behalf of my fellow class-mates, I beg of you to accept this appropriate little offering of sweetmeats, and favor our suit with your approval. Well sir! that did the work, and the remainder of our stay was a continual paradise. But this How of eloquence was to much for Clark. VVhen Tommy got to adding perfume to the violet, Foot lit out for the 'irear room where after a certain amount of consolation had passed his lips, he began to confide in the man behind the rail. Now this old fellow, though much hardened by his life at the Medberry, had never met a man of Clark's capacity, and after having heard the opening lines of the famous speech for the sixteenth time he began to weep with sympathy for his new found friend. VVith every new recital, the weeping grew, until at last the proprietor was obliged to interfere. Clark began to tell 133 the story again, but as he did not find the old man so sympathetic a listener as his first friend, he became indignant and ordered a supper that would put Quack's to shame. The proprietor was mad and replied that there were three kinds of pie in the cupboard and if that wasn't sufficient, his guest could go hungry. At this, Foot's spirit stirred within him and he wished to smite the man who had insulted him, joseph Foot Clark, a seeker after knowledge, an investigator of science, by offering to appease his appetite with pie, but curbed his angry passions and started out for the 'house of a lawyer intending to bring suit against the Villian who had thus refused him food in the dead of night. W7 hat luck he had we never knew for Clark was never seen after this. His disappearance from the face of the earth was noted and much discussed, but without results. There are two other notable events which should be recorded in a history of the Ballston Survey. The first is the pilliness developed in Doty's section that enabled them to nnish everything two days ahead of' time, but necessitated the recompetation of the work when Troy was reached. K'More haste less speedv Dote. An the second has to do with the experience of a certain young man in a hammock-but the Transit Board can't afford to tell everything it knows. Many points were gained during this practical work. VV e soon learned that it was best to take side-shots so that the rodman could sample the grapes and apples, and also fill his hat and pockets. And that with a little juggling, results of one in twenty-five thousand, were quite possible, so the time was by no means waisted. y How fast the days went by, before we knew it our work was done and we packed up for Troy. VVe were all sorry to leave Ballston. Those ten days of hard work and good times, and this was largely due to the interest the two professors in charge of the party took in our welfare. For all that happened at Ballston, we wish to thank them. dv H Z, - XX U it-,elf is .l be NN life if F it if ,fy 134 A Few Fables in Slang Fon WHICH THE AUTHOR APOLOGIZES 'ro MR. GEORGE ADE The Fable of the Smoker That Was Not a Success HERE was a bunch of Wise Guys attending a famous Institution of Learning. Upon completing a course of study in which they had frequently been up against it, they decided to hold a Fiting Celebration. So they met in Solemn Conclave and Chewed the Rag with much Eloquence. The more Worldly Minded favored an Anheuser-Busch Seance. This would allow those who had Hfallen by the turnpiken to drown their sorrows, and at the same time would be following an old Custom. But the Amalgamated Order of Lizzie Boys would not stand for It. They made a great kick for a Smoker. Said it was better suited to highly Refined Natures such as they, the Lizzie Boys, had stuck all over Them. Their speakers, -who possessed a gift of Gab, threw a lot of Tall Talk about a spread and vaudeville show coupled on to the smoker that made the affair look like a Howling Success. Being in the majority the Lizzie faction pushed the Worldly Minded bunch off the avenue and won in a Walk. But they had forgotten the old adage that It's the Cold Coin Keeps the Automobile Running. Being shy on the Root of All Evil the Smoker proved a Dopy Affair. There was a large spread fof breadj but it required aCold Rolled Steel Constitution to get next one of the pipes. They were Way to the Bad. The Worldly Minded were On, however, and brought their own pipes along, thereby gaining much Consolation. The vaudeville show made one long for Home and Mother. It was of the tiresome Variety. The Worldly Minded retired to a Corner and did stunts by their Lonesome. This was unkind to the crackers of the Fungi covered jokes but the Worldly Minded did not Care. They were just that Devilish. They left OE, however, to see aFistic Encounter between two Gentlemen Bruisers. This was Great Doings for the Lizzies. A solemn like youth yelled Hit Him in the S1ats in true sportsman Style. He was Excited. One of the upper-cut artists immediately landed on the other's Solar Plexus. This caused much Unpleasantness as he was not booked for any Foolishness of that kind. When the Agony was over the Lizzie Boys retired to By By, to dream of lemon sour sandwiches. The Worldly Minded visited several free lunch resorts and Celebrated in their Several Ways. MORAL-If you haven't dough enough to push a thing in good shape, forget it altogether. 135 The Fable of the Would Be Sport Who Tried to Hit a Pipe. HERE was once a Would-be Sport who from name and Loftiness of Manner might have been a descendant of Lord Burgoyne. The VVould-be Sport attended the Smoker given by the Amalgamated .Society of Lizzie Boys. At the Smoker he saw all the Fast Youths hitting Pipes and longed to follow Suit. But for the time Being he was Wise and restrained Himself. He had never been up against a Pipe. The next night he was Otherwise and said to himself Here's where I do the Walter Raleigh Act. The Walter Raleigh Act lasted about tive minutes. After putting on his bath robe, with Pink Ribbons on it, and filling his pipe with Hod Carrier's Delight, the possible descendant of Lord Burgoyne leaned back in his chair, shut his eyes, and proceeded to get next to Solid comfort. Solid Comfort evidently had slipped its Trolley. Inside of three Minutes the thermometer jumped about Eighty degrees, and the Would- be Sport decided he had eaten Nothing for a Week, because of the emptiness inside Him. When he opened his eyes all the Pictures on the wall were doing Cake Walks. The possi- ble descendant of Lord Burgoyne laid down the pipe with great Alacrity. He had no use for It. He began Tacking for the bed Where he hung on with a Grip that smashed the Dash Board. Everything was on the Waltz Order. A desire to move Hurriedly caused him to dive at the wash bowl like a runner stealing second. He found he had been eating about six meals a day for Some Time. After awhile they carried him to bed and sat by Him all night. At Present he is Writing a book on the Evils of the Tobacco Habit. MORAL-In learning to smoke begin on Cubebs, and Work up and be sure you know how to waltz. g fjw .. sl 1 it if 1 l-fA re ' 136 iw- !' The Fable of the Easy Mark Who Lost His Nerve. N EASY Mark, named Miller, got sore on his Landlady. The old girl Was Lunay and Wanted him to cough-up the rent Occasionally. She also refused to have Loud Noises after 3 A. M. The easy Mark was afraid to move, because he would have to leave a roll of Long Greens or his trunk behind, One day he conceived a Brilliant Idea. He would ask his Friends around to kick up a Racket. Then the landlady would let him Gro without cashing In. The Easy Mark had a great Brain. So he went out and invited the Bunch to come Up and play Rough House. His friends were so Pleased they let him buy a drink for them. The next night they dropped In and let him have It good and plenty. Right off the bat. The first man in the room jumped about Six Feet in the air and came down Heavily with both shoes full-of Feet. The Landlady below immediately received an illustration ot the discovery of Gravitation by means of a large piece of plaster hitting Her in the back of the Neck. The poor Girl took to the cyclone cellar. Having started in right the bunch cut Loose to beat the Band. But the Easy-Mark had lost his Nerve. He crawled from under the bed and begged them in a VVoodman- Spare-that-Tree kind Of a voice to ring off. They only gave him the merry Ha, Ha. It was a lovely Party for them, and they intended to 'tStick.'l By this time the room looked like a Kansas saloon after one of Carrie Nation's At Homes, the landlady got Her back Up and dropped in on Them, She took on Something Awful. The bunch found its Hat and Sneaked. The Easy Mark was so scared he promised to Refurnish the room and hire It for six years in Advance. The landlady raised the Rent three a week and Accepted. The Easy Mark keeps a Smallpox Sign on his door to make people Shinny on their own Side.

ToAsTMAsTER AND THE CLAss OF 'o3:- Some one has said that brevity is the soul of wit. It is not possible to enter- tain you with witty sayings, but I can at least please you by being brief. Not since 1892 have so many men entered the Institute in one year, as have gathered here since last September. Consequently you can readily understand that the class of '03 is necessary a large subject. I feel it to be beyond my power to do the class justice on any occasion such as this. Seeing that we have come here to learn, let it be our first duty to have, at least a speaking acquaintance with our books. We all know that it is easy to get into the Tute, and older men say that one needs heaven's help to get out, Evidently the class that entered in 1892 didn't have much of a pull with heaven, for out of its 86 men only nine were graduated. After our books comes loyalty to the Tute, and to our class. Let us not be found wanting in this respect. The opportunities before us are many Let us make the most of them! Remember that There comes a tide in the affairs of men, NVhich taken at its flood, leads on to fortune. Let us go in on that tide, if we have to swim all the way. And if we should meet that senile, soft-soapy, soppy-headed, soothing-syrup gang-I refer to the Class of IUOZH--let as make them think that they havenit any pull with heaven, and that they have fallen into the hottest pit in hades. Nora.-In publishing this remarkable little essaylet of wit, humor and satire we feel that we are doing the class of 'og a favor by allowing them to see in print what they would otherwise have heard from the eloquent lips of Mr. Punch Hamilton had he not been unavoidably detained by 'oz. 138 3 : x-x-g I -4- 'W A ' ' L T is R in i es: ,um mm U l m Wlll l, itl l W il Nllltlllll .1 ' p i f 3 , lf ,f , ll lil lllmmmtfll 3 i f l llmuwmlil ' it li l l! l mm fl i limi 'J l f d ilsinl null it t QHAuLQ ,:?QC g! ?gWM ,lf1.?L:T:f::,i an -m e L- v 'f ' - ..Wf ff, . - ln Iunior year I take mv ease l sm0ke my pipe and sing our glees. -Kccueyv, ,O2.

' 142 A Valentine Many months have passed since you and I first met, And still We are unsevered by any bitter feud. Don Cupid with his fairy darts and purpose set Grieviously hath smitten me, till sometimes I have rued Ever having listened to the sweet music of thy voice-and yet-- I.W.B 'L 1 The Tournament in the 4' abn IVANHOE UP To DATE. Ah haf' quoth juddanhoe to Ivandote, hprepare thyself for the coming tournament in which we meet such nimble foes as Brian de Burgoyne, and Bois de Bill. See well to the point of thy wash bottle and forget not to have thy swiped beakers ready for such crafty foes as Atheltimson and Breckle de Brick. For that tower of strength, The Gridiron Sluggard, have thy trusty hose by thy side, and hold thyself ever ready to beat a retreat to our stronghold, 4'Fort Sink, where I will have preceeded thee. Also keep thy eye peeled for, and hail me if thou hearest any signs of Billy P., for thou knowest that he has often caused trouble to be prehxed to my sacred per- son. But tarry thee yet awhile, and listen yet a little longer to mine parting instruc-- tions. Go ye to Lab.', George and get covering for our pockets wherein we keep our vast riches, and get him to give thee some of shot with which to pepper the pills. VV hen hard pressed for a wash bottle beware of whose thou takest, for if it be Tilly de Barkers, thou will surely be squelchedf' VVhile this discourse was taking place, the other knights of the 'Whfash Bottle, were preparing for the expected battle, by filling swiped and unswiped beakers and Hasks with that deadly fluid,-Trov water. Following the Knightly custum of their ancestors, a few joustings were held before the Grand Melee. To start this, juddanhoe, standing proudly, blew a terrifhc blast through his wash bottle toward Solly the VVizzard. The Wfizzard blew a return blast and from the other end of the lists, Sliver de lim, seeing his companion in trouble, joined in the fray. After a little while of such wonderful fencing, the Wfizzard, using the spurs, galloped furiously toward luddanhoe who courteously backed and met his foe in the right binicle. This single combat then waged furiously back and forth, the VVizzard having the advantage at one moment and his opponent at the next. At this stage of the combat, Sliver de lim came to the rescue of his companion in wash bottlesf' and Iuddanhoe, giving his battle cry, was aided by 145 Ivandote. The appearance of the latter upon the scene was the signal for a general melee, and as Ivandote and Tuddanhoe retreated toward their citadel, the small army of water sluggers began to push them harder. Then Juddanhoe, giving Ivandote the wink joined his tube to the spigot and held his foes at bay, lvandote doing the same. At this unexpected move the other side retired and discussed the situation, and under the leadership of Atheltimson, numerous charges were made, but were always repulsed. After several minutes of awful carnage of silk foulard aprons, valued at one dollar each, the sentry in the watch tower announced the approach of Billy P., so the tournament was ended by Lab. George taking upon himself the office of Marshall King of the Fire Extinguishers, and Bestower of Laurals, and peace rained until the matinee at 2100 P. M. F. W. F. -N-N ,f-4-ls, s. .2 jg...

The list follows: FRANKLIN BOY-DEN GRIDLEY, B. L. ........ Pdfmd Beach, Cal. The Development of Fat. This lecture will be illustrated by lantern slides showing Frankie's gradual development since childhood. The management wishes to announce that the use of these slides has been gratuituouslygiven by the H-O Food Co. CARL JULIUS SCHUMANN, P. F. ..... .... E afooklyn, N. Y. A Summer Homes. The subject of this lecture has been given great study and thought by Carl. We have every reason to believe that the audience will be treated to a very extensive discourse. JOHN FLAGELLA HUSBAND, N. S. E ........... Troy, N. Y. How to Grow a Picturesque Beard. During the delivery of this lecture the speaker will lay bare the chemical secrets of the leading hair tonics now on the market. lNote-This lecturer does not appear as the paid representative of any hair restorer company. Mr. Husband, as a lover of man- kind, feels that it is his duty to prevent, as far as he is able, the wholesale deceptions now practiced on the unsuspecting public. JOHN WILLIE DOTY, P. C. ......... . Erie, Pa. A 'LHOW to Become a Social Lion.7' The lecturer being the Billy Baxter of the Tute,', as Well as Major Hardtack's successor in Troy society, is the one best able to outline the course pursued by him in becoming the pet of the smart set. HARRY EDSON JUDD, L. L. T ........ . Wdf67'b767j!, Covm. How it Feels to be Lean. This will be in many respects a companion lecture to Mr. Gridley's, differing from his only in the stereoptican views. Mr. .Tudd's views show him in several contortional attitudes which Mr. Gridley would be unable to assume. As Mr. Judd has always been thin-and indications are that he always will be-there is no reason why his audience should not be treated to a good practical talk. HOMER CLARK KLINE, L. S .....,...... Port Leyden, N. Y. VVork-Its Debilitating and Anti-Social Influences. This subject represents the life work of the lecturer and has been studied in detail During the course of this lecture Mr. Kline will give some very valuable points on how to avoid the contagion of Work. The management considers these alone Worth the price of admission. THOMAS F. GRATTAN, H. A. ...... . Cohoes, N. K TRANSIT Ads. While this is a subject humorous in many respects it is nevertheless of the utmost import- ance, and highly instructive. The slides showing Mr. Grattan mixed up in a Kick- OE, a Frigid Throw Down and a Hot-Air Expostulation to a Wavering Advertiser, are the best ever exhibited. Next year's Transit Board will do well to take front seats that they may see the more vividly what they have to train for. SAMUEL IRVING FOSTER, I. T. ............ Troy, N. K Cigarette Smoking-Its Evils and How Avoided. Inasmuch as this is a subject that appeals to nine-tenths of the men at the Tute it is unnecessary to urge alarge attendance. Dr. Foster, having never been addicted to the use of 'LCoffin Nails, will give several excellent rules on how he was able to avoid their use. Owing to the fact that the Dr. after a ripe old age is still hale and hearty the rules referred to must be very reliable ones. NORMAN ALFRED TAYLOR, P. I. ...... . Troy, N. Y. Brick-Its Uses and Abuses. The management feels highly elated over its ability to reserve one of the largest handlers of Brick to discuss this practical topic. Mr. Taylor's vast experience will enable him to give valuable points on the moulding, trimming and dressing down needed by brick before same can be used. DIKIAN HAVOOTUNE J. CASPAR AVACKAIN, T. T. . Consianiinople, Turkey. Life Among the Wild and Wooly Turks. Mr. Avackian appears in native costume,-up-turned shoes, ear rings and rattles, and being a very glib Turk it is safe to assume that America's recent troubles with the Sultan will be dealt with in detail. Seats may be reserved by telephone No. 4-ll-44. The secretary of the Lecture Bureau will be pleased to furnish any further information desired. Course tickets, Si55.00. Single Admission tickets, 5Oc.

Twocouriers, Prof. Tompy and Barnett, are travelingalong Broadway toward the Tute at the rate of one mile and three-quarters of a mile per hour respect- ively. Ifat any time, say two o'clock, Tompy is at Third street and Barney is at White's after how many hours, and how many blocks beyond Third street are they together, and what are the chances for a neck to neck finish at the Institute . ,A ,ed Maggy, khvnn .mtg-j.J,.

'Ai 14, This Combination of Tools will-be Found to be a Great Aid to Better and Easier Draughting HE STRAIGHT EDGE has needle carriers on each end, swinging on taper studs. These may be swung to bring the points close to the working edge, and by a slight turn of a knurled nut may be rigidly locked, holding the straight edge bradded to the paper. We make these straight edges in six lengths, from 18 to 48 in., and either plain or graduated. The Bevel Arms, with clasp and section liner, are made in 15, 24 and 36-in. lengths, and may be used with our graduated T squares as Well as with the straight edges. The Section Liner is in the form of a knuckle joint and feeds either way against the graduation marks. By thumb pressure on the button-headed screw, which may be adjusted to fine or course movement, hatching may be rapidly and evenly done, and for accurately spacing work to the scale of -QE, M, or Z to the foot, the device is a great convenience. 1 The Protractor is Z of a 14-inch circle and is graduated to quarter degrees. It accurately fits the bevel arm either side up. ' Fu'5S3E.S2fZZ?l?il0Q1325'1.?2li51Z2Hi'Z2?fi8?'i.?l'tiiiiiiiif No 16AA of Fine Mechanical Tools. 'The,Catalogue is free The L. S. STARRETT CO..
