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
