PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR, AND PROFESSOR OF RATIONAL AND TECHNICAL MECHANICS Palmer Chamberlaine Ricketts ALMER CHAMBERLAINE RICKETTS, C.E., was born in Elkton, Cecil County, Md., on January 17, 1856. His family subsequently removed to Princeton, N. J., where he was prepared for college by a Princeton tutor. In September, 1871, he came to Troy and entered the Institute. He graduated in 1875, and in September of the same year was appointed assistant in Mathematics and Astronomy. During the sum- mers of 1876 and 1877, he was Assistant Engineer on the Troy and Boston Railroad. He became, in 1882, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, which position he held until 1884, when he was appointed to the William Howard Hart chair of Rational and Technical Mechanics. He was Consulting Bridge Engineer for the Troy and Boston Rail- road from 1886 to 1887, and from 1887 to 1891, he held a similar position on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad. In 1891 he was appointed Engineer to the Public Improvement Commission of Troy, in which he remained until 1893. He was elected at various times to membership in several scientific societies, notably, the American Society of Civil Engineers. In 1892 he was elected Director of the Institute in place of Prof. David Greene. Finally, in 1901, he became President of the Institute, upon retirement from that office by Mr. Peck. President Ricketts is now in name as well as in fact the head of the Institute, and it is our earnest wish that he may long continue so. nazi? Edif95137zCAf.y? J 'J f7C'af?

Therefore, fellow-students, we beseech you, be kind, nor yet too severe in your opinion, for unto you we deliver ourselves, whether we be glad or sad, your mercy may dictate. We wish to thank our contributors for what they have done and for the kindly interest they showed in the work of getting out the book. To them the TRANSIT owes its publi- cation. Nothing pleased us so much nor kept us from growing weary as did the gracious spirit with which they proffered their services. Our only regret is that we have no better way of showing our appreciation. TRANSIT BDARD.

He is a noble in his own right. Such are the pictures in our mind as we think what will happen Commencement Day. Indeed, it will be a sad day for us. How long have known the graduating class? Only three years, yet it seems as if it must have been always. First we knew them as Sophs., and bitter was our feeling toward them. As in other things, they made good enemies. Next we knew them as Juniors, then as Seniors and now they are about to graduate. They are about to begin their life work. They take with them the hearty and affectionate congratulations and good wishes of us all. Con- gratulations, because it is a matter of information in all intelligent circles that to graduate at R. P. I. requires good, honest, hard work. It is our despair, but our boast and pride, that this is the most difficult school in America, and no one can slouch through her course. Good wishes, because in these years we have come to know them well and believe them to be fine exponents of the training of this Institute, a credit to it, and a bright, manly set of fellows. yy . .M iw' .f--- tiff K I f, ', 'i ffl f ' SEQ X..-3, I i .V M f .1-' ew X H9 'W .X Nw -E ua , f lI 'Y1tlll Y 5 'M -.5-Mil, Aft it W H, .QV 'vb' 'Q .-. pf fgff 157W if? ff ,.,,..

There did enter this Institute almost three years ago the young man whose picture you see here. It was his intention, or it seemed to be, not to appear in public. He wanted to hide all this beauty, just think ot it, under a bushel. And well did he succeed until one fatal Xmas vacation when out he popped. His classmates left him a cheerful ne'er do well good fellow, only to find him again, oh! so changed, a genuine, unmitigated, hopeless push-root. He was bowed down with the weight of his society duties, there was no longer time for anything but that. At some stages of the game the burden laid upon him seemed greater than he could bear, but he has managed to reach the three-quarter mark in safety. Now if this same butterfiy life does n't fix him we will have him on the front seat Commencement Day to cover up, in part, the less brilliant, less popular and less handsome of his classmates.

My Friend from India. Bally's real occupation at the Institute is purely of a business character. He seems to think that in some respects he is a traveling advertisement, and when at times he is reminded of this fact pats himself heartily, and gets chesty, and really cannot get through a door sideways, for to Bally there is no sideways. Bally is a hard student, and a great musician: on any bright morning he may be noticed in his lofty bower boning his Junior Mechanics to the tune of The Girl I Left Behind Me. ' ' But to listen to one of his dreams of India, then is the time for the children to be quietg one might imagine it was a tale from The Arabian Nights or one of George Ade's Modern Fables. 32 uinvmum Wlxiuucx BANK:-zu, .I W, I-I .Y lf, Troy, N.

As the camel goes without water, so Eddie goes without food, but when he does start in, well eating is n't the word, its devouring. He eats then1 alive. When well filled he is a great manager: at least, he loves to manage, and when the baseball team wins a game his heart is filled with joy. Eddie is crazy ,about society, in other words, he loves the ladies, and the ladies love him, because he certainly can dance. A certain stout lady was heard to remark, Oh, I could fall asleep while dancing with Mr. Banker. His friends would advise the lovely lady to keep awake while dancing with Eddie, because his static moment is just about within the limit of stability, as it is. Rather then Hunk, Eddie will stand at the board until he is thrown out.

He's not as green as he used to be. Although Tillie has such an elaborate name you can see by his picture that he is quite harmless. When asked a question by a Professor, Tillie says, Yes, sir, and on perceiving that he has guessed wrong he says, No, sir, with such alacrity and so sincerely that almost any one would be willing to swear that he never meant to say anything but No, sir. Tillie has learned a thing or two since he was a verdant Freshman: one is how to blutl' a bitg another is how to dance. At his first dance, it was noticed that his antics were similar to those of an animated calf, but his abject apologies for the damage he had done made up for his grotesque movements. 253 llAlil,lCS Rmomx Biu:Ni:'r'r, ju., .Y W, Louisville, Ky.

Ask him to tell you about it and also why he doesn't leave a Sweat Board when he is ahead of the game. Slot machines! Oh! me! Oh! my! Poor Beebe, he can't touch one without having four kings or a full house show up. He was seen the other day on Broadway standing in front of a letter box and absently dropping pennies into the slot. Probably he was trying to make his month's allowance show up in advance. But as a whole Beebe is a very model young man, having none of the vices, and being an ardent member of the Y. M .C.

If you are asked What is Russell's age? don't say about 84 or financier, M-that is if you mean 111119 Russell Sage whose face appears annexed. Dick's favorite query to intimates is, Why am I like Russell Sage? Answers are many and Vil.l'lCiClQ for really he has many striking similarities to that other eminent man. Russell the first is called the King of puts and calls. If he beats Russell the second in the matter of calls he starts before breakfast, that's all. Dick has a record for three months of three calls a day four days a week, four calls a day two days a week, and Sunday-well he hasn't any limit. He atones for all his week-day falls from grace by spending all day and a long evening in the Lord's house. So if we acceed to Mr. Sage of Wall street the title of King of Calls, we must rate Dick as the Ace of Trumps.

He was such a nice boy until his thesis was published in the Polytechnic, but jumping so high in his own estimation at the honor, he has been unable to get down again. But Ralph is a great pool player, because he says so himself and he ought to know. The balls just seem to roll into the pockets of their own accord when he gets near them. His greatest ambition though is to be the biggest knocker in the Tute. He is succeeding wonderfully well for such a young fellow. Having had great experience in the art of telling stories, which were more or less elastic, he has taken nat11rally to knocking. But Ralph is a good boy and means well, and needs only a little kind advice once in a while to keep him from getting too high an opinion of himself. If .his friends will only supply this advice once in a while, they will confer a great favor on his family and relatives. 4.1, NIAIXLUS Hui Ixr s l fb Oil C1ty.

There's only one girl in the world for me. Lewis is an all-around athlete: sporting blood courses through his veins. No other sport in the Institute can count so many enthusiastic admirers among his friends. Lewis is perfectly at home in the box, either the box at the Griswold Opera house or that in the Laureate field. When he makes his bow in the former, the audience goes into an ecstacy of delight and shows its appreciation by loud applause. When he steps into the latter, a cold chill runs down the spines of the opposing players. Lewis is something like our cup defender, the Columbia. He has good lines and is built for speed rather than for good looks. When he first came to the Tute, he started in to have a good time, and during his Freshman year the town took on a rather reddish hue in consequence. Now, however, all is changed: no one would recognize in the studious youth who answers his interrogation in such a profound and learned manner the same gay bantam who used to whoop 'em up so. Born in Emlenton, P1 , April 75, 1879: prepared at Oil City High School. Marcus is such a quiet. unassuming fellow that few people are aware that he has a reputation for his wit and sarcasm, not only in Troy, but Oil City as wall. As most of us know, his father is a soldier, and little Mark is a chip off the old block: he soldiers in every sense of the word. His wit is readily recalled when we remember that he originated the famous Pooh pooh, with which the young ladies now greet everything you say to them, and was one of the duet to introduce that very pathetic ballad, entitled, How do you do, How do you do, etc. He has one great fault, however, which must not be overlooked and that is, he is always about twenty minutes late: try as he will he has never arrived at any place on time. He is on the whole a mighty deceiving fellow: his 'twell I reckon and I calculate is apt to throw a few people off their guard and before they get it back again Marcus has worked the shell or army game on them. Coming from where he does naturally makes Marcus a little slippery: and this, with his clever wit. has gained him his admittance to the fox club, of which he is now one of the most enterprising members. Taken all in all, he is a jolly good fellow. kind and loving, and, will make an ideal husband for some girl who needs good advice. -ln osl Ill Pl'llxCl MAIXSIIAII A Ii' li, Fitchburg, Mass.

Joe is a cute little fellow who can speak longer and say less than any other little man in the Tute. He is extremely fastidious about all matters, and will not buy a necktie in Troy for fear Bougliton might say that he had a string on him. On entering the Tute, Joe wrote home to his mamma and said that if he could procure a rope he would hang around here for a while. When a Freshman, Joe had never heard of tights on anything except sausagesg but since then he has visited the Star. While very young, Joe heard a cute little laugh, which he persists in practicing. This laugh is very gentle and sounds like the tinkle of a silver bell.

He always witnessed the games. usually taking no part himself and incidentally saving fifty cents, each time-a financier, you see. However, he wore the regulation R, and what trouble it gave his poor soul. He has been known to stop on the street corner in zero weather when on his way down town and turn his sweater inside out so f' de kids in the aristocratic part of Troy wou1dn't guy him about the f' R. Some people think Mac is lazy, but that is a mistake: he is only troubled with a slight indisposition to work, which he can't help.

Blinky is to be congratulated. James Warren, or, as he is better known, Morgy, is a nice young man. Investigation into his private character reveals that he has no bad habits. He once attempted to learn how to smoke, but gave it up as a bad job. At the Tute he has done some things. To our knowledge he has had but one disappointment-his failure to land as president of the Y. M. C. A. Why he failed to become president, we do not know. The fact that he was not nominated may have had something to do with it. It would be wrong to stop here without saying that Morgy is a good fellow, a good student, well liked by all and a friend worth having. o1,c.1. W.xsH1No1oN Mo1n1.km,, H N IJ, Oil City, Pa.

It is not definitely known whether he is a descendant of George Washington or Booker T. Washington, but we hope that it was the former. If you shou1dn't have time to call his name in full, just say Punk and he will respond just as promptly. His chief source of amusement is doing the belt, or skating ton icej. A friend of his, who wore a white sweater, told him that he could skate as graceful as any cow that she had ever seen. When he was quite young, somebody told him that he could sing and was quite handy with a pen. He still believes that this person was neither insane nor intoxicated when she told him. It was once rumored that he had challenged Jeffries, but the only evidence ever obtained was his training on shredded wheat at the Young Woman's and the massiveness of his muscles. Punk isn't a bad fellow when he is alone, and it wouldn't be surprising to hear that some day he will have obtained the position of foreman in a collar factory, or manager of a night lunch wagon. -IS jouN Plutsoxs NEw'roN, R.S.E., Albany, N.

Jack is one of the Albany Bunch and he is brave and handsome, too. Would you think that possiblet?j, only a glance at his picture will prove the later, while his conduct at Rensselaer at the time the Hudson River was on a rampage last spring will prove very conclusively the latter. Not heard of it ? Why, he went over to Rensselaer and found a family who were threatened to be swept away by the raging water. He helped to remove the furniture, carpets, etc., saved the baby and all. All this time he was studying natural laws. When moving the piano, it gave him good opportunity to study the attraction of gravityg when taking up carpets, he calculated the pull necessary to remove the tacks, not by Rankine, but by laws of his own, for he has even put his illustrious ancestor, Sir Isaac, in the Shade, and all the while he was trying to determine the strength of another attraction, it was not that of Mother Earth's but of Mother ----'s daughter. This attraction was so strong that it brought him all the way from Albany, and naturally brings him buck from Troy at as late a day as now, so we think that it must increase as the square of the time of duration.

In order not to catch the disease, Earl keeps himself in Watervliet, for he knows that the pestilence has reached Troy. But on such nights as the Tute celebrates the death of Calculus, or the election of a Grand Marshal, Earl throws caution to the winds and joins in the frolic.

One would not think of taking Penn by himself, as he can hardly be spoken of in any other connection than his cello, claret and his Sunday nap. God bless the man that invented sleep, so Loyd thinks, and settles down for his Sunday snooze, the peculiarity of which is that it extends over most of the week flucid intervals, rare and far between, exceptedj. Penn certainly has a head of his own and when he makes up his mind to try and change it, not unlike his music, is of no earthly use. But strong minded fpolite word for stubbornl as he is, claret-lemonzule does the work, it makes him light-hezuled. Did you ever see Penn smoke? No-you have gl treat in store for you.

Worthless, better known as 't Jocky, was for the first year of his Institute life S0 quiet and studious that we doubted if he would ever become a true member of naughty-three. For did he not stay at home to think of his sins on that famous night when naughty-three was tested by tire-water, when Uncle Sam's head was bitten off and our dexterous classmate fought duels to the death and broke cab windows with his shoe? But all our doubts and misgivings were put at rest one wet night in Granville, when Jocky nearly choked himself to death in a vain attempt to give the R- P I. and Rutgers yells at the same time. From that time on he showed the true naughty-three spirit and could nightly be found observing the Moon Sisters fa luminary star much admired and only to be seen around Granville and vicinityj.

Vlfhatever portion of the junior history he may draw upon is so indelibly impressed upon the minds of his class- mates that it seems unnecessary to recall the many incidents that come to mind. It is. only from a desire to keep alive the good fellowship which characterized the surveys and the later work that makes it worth while to write a history. VVith memories in view of our association for the past year, it will be strange indeed if our last Institute year is marred by such a clissension as exists in the present Senior class. The historian feels that the Granville survey did more for class unity than anything which preceded it, and in the hope that mention of a few incidents will cause the whole three weeks to be again talked over, he uses that for his principal theme. Granville boarding houses and Granville luck ought to be famous,-or perhaps notorious. The class tested both to aygreater or less extent. Probably those who tried the former will never forget the experience. The two hotels were unable to accommodate the whole class, altho' .1 they did their best to the extent of putting four in one room and private apartments were in demand. One crowd of a half-dozen or so found most desirable lodgings and board-- convenient to all hotels, theatres and railroad stations -and promptly paid board in advance. Maybe they had to-Deutsch 111 his khaki looked bad enough to queer the whole gang. After their first meal, they named the Place The Yellow Onion, because that staple was then Qand thereafterj the whole menu. They nearly starved to death. Quake Wilson, Spence and Bell dwelt upon the VVest side and they never could have got into town in a half-day if it had not been for Micky's spryness. Wad and Wirth1ess and a few others lived somewhere to the East--no one knows where. They always mme from the direction of the quarries. AS for luck, there was all kinds. Greeny drew the hardest of the survey sections-yet he made enough money in various ways to pay all his expenses, buy a new suit and start a bank aCCOunt. The historian and others chipped in liberally. Clarke and Oliphant and Penjamin Stump had luck hunting, only none of them shot anything and Stump never saw anvthing to shoot at. Sheldon almosf had bad luck. Strobel, his captain, couldn't stand the smell of tobacco when Gil Smoked on the job and Gil would have had to swear off if he hadn't been clever with his hands. He. used to hold a cigarette in one hand while he scrapped Strobel with the other. 'He always claimed that he enjoyed smoking that way. Corporal Lush would tell you his luck was distinctly bad if you asked him about the night he received callers after he retired. Somehow he doesn't like t0-talk of the dream they disturbed. Then there was the general good luck the class had in not being lugged by the one Granville policeman-that was nothing short of a miracle. The town provided no end of local excitement. One could go to the quarries and ride on the Cable cars or to the depot and watch the tlagman. He certainly was worth seeing. Or one could b01'1'0W a big red umbrella 'with a hole in the top and hit the belt-Deutsch did that daily. Then there was always the rumor to be investigated that the muckers were getting ready to clean the Whole crowd. That was always interesting-and baseless. But the main thing was to go to the P0St Oliice-not for the mail, usually. It was a great place to make a date with a quandom lady friend. The practice was very general and highly successful. The historian even remembers Seemg Ramsay with his arm about a damsel, sitting on a fence 'way over on Quaker Ave. ! i 63 The historian must chronicle the dismal failure the class made of its plan to break up the one show that played Granville during our stay. Yet those who met the leading man afterward were well satisfied with the failure. Some of his stories will be told at class banquets for years to come. The whole three weeks passed quickly and were enjoyed, yet at the end of that time every one was about ready to leave Granville and take up the I-Iyclrographic survey. That survey does not offer much to put in a history. The class was divided into such small squads and placed at stations so widely separated that the fun rarely became generally known. The time Crannell was baptized for a quitter was an exception and many were fortunate enough to attend the ceremony. Certainly those who officiated deserve great credit. The long-distance conversations that Prof. Chillman and Deutsch carried on were also generally known- what? The historian has little to say of the work which followed the surveys, but he would advise the present Sophomores not to expect it to be as easy as the surveys argue. The expectation realized is too painful. Nevertheless, it has been the most interesting of our years and by far the most practical. Here endeth the junior history, but if the historian has neglected to put many men in this Hall of Fame, they may liken him unto Brother Noah and consign him and his history to the same place Noah and his ark have so often been sent,-and in the same way.

Ill g.:-,ws fl-.sy U I'1' IS Nm' 0l 'l'l'ZN that a class, looking backward over a year of Institute life, may contemplate a more successful and memorable period of events than the Sophomore year of the class of '04, Few historians have so agreeable a task as he of 'O-1, who may well take pride in his privilege of recounting the trials and triumphs of the year. Our trials have been such as await all who enter the Institute. Moreover, with Chemistry and Integral backing up into the year as Sophomore studies, new burdens were laid upon us, and at times we found thcm heavy. However, they did not all come upon us at once. Upon returning in September, the largest Sophomore class in Institute history, our labors were for a time comparatively light. Physics, dryly intercstingg Surveying, a simple and leisurely courseg and the Chemistry lectures, made attractive by the genial humor of Dr. Masong took up half of the term, a quiet and uneventful period, except for what diversion we obtained from our contests with the young and little class of 'U5. Our first experience with the Freshmen, after the usual preliminary rub on the Institute steps, was the cane rush. A week's postponement gave our adversaries opportunity to become acquainted and organized. On Saturday, September 15, both classes appeared in -goodly numbers, and at the signal the long exhausting struggle was begun. Finally the contest was awarded to '05 by a majority of two fingers, There were many Hngers on a Freshman hand on that afternoon. In the evening, '05 began to celebrate and till parade. Their courage and confidence was splendid before we saw them. Five minutes after, their spirit was as scarce as their persons. One only was left, a youth too frightened to flee, who just lay down and begged for mercy. He was their standard bearer, who bore their triumphant banner- under his shirt. Such woeful lack of gumption in our adversaries chagrined us not alittle, and when, a few weeks later, we were needlessly aroused by an abortive attempt at a flag rush, a few Freshmen were taken in hand, and as a last resource, were tried at singing nursery rhymes: which, we may add, they did very creditably. When finally, on November 1, the flag rush was declared on, '05 had gained wisdom through experience. The gate-house of the Watervliet reservoir was no new and untried spot. Four times before classes had raised their flags above it, and never had one been lowered. The place was considered impregnable. The house, rising tower-like out of the water, could be entered only from the second story. Upon its roof the Hag of '05 was securely nailed and guarded by a strong garrison below. After taking in the situation, we deliberated. Different methods of attack were proposed, but it was finally resolved to capture the place by storm. Then we worked. By midnight all was in readiness at the shore of the lake, and for three hours we were building our ship of war, a double- decked raft. At length she was launched, and made a first attempt to reduce the Freshmen fort. lt was a disastrous trial. We shall not soon forget our dismay, when we saw through the fog the dim shadow of our raft sink and collapse, amid the exultant yells of our opponents. But in the morning our ship was stregthened, a force pump added to our armament, and with a determination to win, another and fiercer assault left the flag in our hands. It was a splendid victory, fairly won. But when, a few days later, we paraded in celebration, and the Freshmen attempted to interfere, their method of attack was a disgrace upon the whole Institute. Of it we shall say only that it was not successful. Leaving the Rushes, we turn to a more serious topic-our studies. About this time our troubles began. Most of us found Analyt a serious problem. In Qualitative Chemistry we anticipated a pleasant period of ease and enjoyment. But after a few weeks' work in an atmosphere that could be shoveled, with all windows open, at zero Fahrenheit, the attractiveness of the Chemical Lab. quite vanished. In these later weeks we also spent each day an hour of mingled fun and torture with 70 Mr. Murdock. As a demonstrator of our ignorance of grammar, rhetoric and language forms in general, he is an expert. The person, who, after completing this course, still believes he knows anything about the subject, is yet to be found. One evening during reviews, as we were going over our Analyt, as we hoped for the last time, '05 posted the notice of the sleigh rush. It was not long before we had the Freshman sleigh and some Freshmen. The rest fled panic stricken to Albany. and thence seven miles over the hills to a small hamlet, Slingerlands. We were not slow in following, for although we believed that the rush was won, we wished to make sure, and, therefore, set out in pursuit. It was a long, cold ride. The place capitulated almost immediately after our approach, and we proceeded to partake of the Freshman feast. There certainly was not a surplus. Early in the morning we brought the Fresh- men home, to mourn the loss of the last regular rush. Then followed examinations, vacation, and the second term. This term began as smoothly as the first. But Calculus followed Surveying, in another week Descriptive had succeeded English: and with Chemistry still hanging on, there was no rest for the weary. Then with characteristic energy the class put forth efforts to equal the demand, and although the requirements were severe, we feel that they have been met. Yet in all these long days of study, we have forgotten none of our class pride and spirit. And SO, when, on Friday, April 11, the class assembled to a banquet at the new Kenmore, Albany, it was to one of the best attended, and, in every way, most successful feasts ever held by an Institute class. A Added amusement was afforded by the fruitless attempts of a number of Freshmen to alternately interfere with our members arriving, and to beg permission to share in the feast. Let US hope that '05 will make a more creditable, if not successful record as Sophomores than as Freshmen. The banquet fittingly marked the end of our class rushes. In recalling them, we have no apologies to make, no excuses to offer, for '04 has done its full part in upholding cherished Institute traditions. And now as we near the turning point between the lower and upper classes, the confidence of past success, and the consciousness of present faithfulness, inspires us in the belief that our labors shall not have been in vain.

V , rr-HY Freshman History - -as in FTER a long struggle against the numerous difficulties which present themselves to a fellow entering the Institute, sixty-nine nobly withstood the test and presented them- selves as members of the Freshman class. Those sixty-nine came to Troy with their 0 P ' thoughts on those they left at home, and on the marked achievements which they hoped 5,1v 'fro A1 ' 'Q , G 11523. A 10 make in their Institute career. .Our class came together for the first time and was organized on Thursday, September ll., Durmg the progress of the meeting our friends, the juniors, who took a great deal of interest in' our fighting ability, even on short acquaintance, informed us that the Sophs were collecting at, 'Vi the front of the building, and perhaps wished to give us an informal reception. After adopting a yell, each man removed his collar and necktie, so we would know one another from the Sophsf' Lining up we gave our yell two or three times, and hastened toward the front of the building, only to be disappointed. All we saw was a few strange specimens of humanity, in shirt sleeves, awaiting our arrival. The only fear we had was that we might hurt the few opponents who tried so hard but failed to uphold the fighting record of their class. On Saturday, September 21, we were initiated into the ways of Institute life on the Laureate grounds, by the annual cane rush, between Sophomores and Freshmen. The afternoon found us with about one-third the men who had been present at the first class meeting, but this third con- ducted itself so bravely, so valiantly, that it would have been useless to have made the whole class don a coat of vaseline, and old trousers. From the crack of the pistol, we gained an advantage and maintained it throughout seven minutes, thus winning our first victory. In the evening we started from the gym, with less men than we had at the afternoon ceremony, to make a tour of the streets in honor of our victory. The procession was a little marred by an attempt on the part of the fellows with whom we had had so much fun in the afternoon, to capture our flag. The results of this attempt were deeply considered by some of our greatest mathmati- cians, and following this came forth the problem : If sixty-five Sophomores of the average weight of one hundred and fifty pounds, attack twenty-five Freshmen, of an average weight of one hundred and twenty pounds, coming up a hill, the Freshmen carrying a class flag, how long before the Soph- omores gain possession of the flag? Theoretically it would take about five minutes. Theory fails in this case, as it took actually thirty minutes. Recitations soon began, and at first, we had some difficulty in learning the art of sleeping in the French room, but this was only a trifle in comparison to comprehending Murdoch's phrases and mental stunts. On the first day of November occurred the flag rush. An attempt was made to hold the rush a week earlier, but failed at a time when we had more men together than ever before or since for a rush. We placed the flag on the Watervliet reservoir gate-house, and defended it up until an hour or two of the limit, at which time we lost what should have been an easy victory. '76 Christmas time and vacation came at last, and was enjoyed by many at their homes, but all were glad when the time came for us to show our ability in the serious part of Institute life-the reviews and exams. Every man, left the belt, the folly and the collar girls to take care of themselves, and seriously faced his work, and kept at it every night but one--the night of our sleigh rush. Perhaps Sleigh rush needs a word of explanation, since such a celebration was. not held last year on account of the H Sophs ' not having-well, never mind. Ask one of them why. We laid reviews aside and participated heartily in the affair, but by an unpardonable act on the part of one of the Sophomores in opening a friend's letter, our plans were slightly changed. Had We not been familiar with the old saying, It is more shameful to distrust than to be deceived, perhaps we would not have held the honor of our opponents so high, and would not have been deceived by them. Nevertheless, it passed off very smoothly, with the exception of an interruption on the part of the whole Sophomore class when we were about half through the banquet. 'f VV1131 hell may be I know not, but this I know was he1l. If any of you should desire to go to Slingef- 1and's be sure to say you neither had a grandfather, father nor brother that went to R. P. I., and don't ever venture to say that you are a son of old R. P. I. Things quieted after this, and we returned to our work in reviews with new energy. Exams, were taken with scarcely any fear, for what fear need one have who has done his advance work well? Card day came in all its novelty. We were greatly surprised because of the number of clean cards it brought forth to our class. T S f us are at the end of a quarter of our Institute life, looking VN eeks have come and gone. ome o back upon the things upon which we could have improved and upon those in which we did our duty. Scarcely any of us realize that the end of our Freshman year so full of victories-for H Defeat is for only those who accept it- is S0 near at hand. But it is safe to say that the continuation of the history of '05 will be as full of victories in the serious part of life as this, our first year of engineering, has been full of triumphs in the frivolous part.

To others, the mere mention of the term brings a complete transformation of the countenance, mentioned after a iiunlc, probably -' '- a scowl will followg after a'rush, a bright illumination of expression which grants the whole world nothing worse than an abundance of beautiful reminiscences. However true that may be, it is a fact that after knocking about the halls and class rooms for two, three or four years Qnot morej that we become very much attached to the place and something akin to love fills our hearts. During the past two years radical changes have been made in the curriculum, which will open the way for the advancement of the course in electricity. The electrical lab. is fitted up with all modern appliances, and by September will be in a condition to vie with the most complete. An electrical expert and assistants have been secured, who will devote their time solely to teaching this branch of science. Indeed, the conditions for teaching it are so favorable that a special course has been inaugurated requiring two years for completion. It is surely a step forward and is the result of unlimited perseverance, untiring energy and great uuselfish interest. With half an eye one can see the improvements in everything pertaining to the Institute, not only in the courses of study, but in the appearance of the place in general, in fact, the whole atmosphere seems changed. It is the age of advancement and indeed is old R. l'. I. in style. llii Hockey HOCKEY was inaugurated at the Institute this year. A Notwithstanding the fact that the Hockey team received very little support from the student body, it went pluckily to work and showed that next year R. P. I. will be represented by a fast team. One of the opposing seven, after the last game played this season, said, the Institute team next year will be able to beat any other team in this vicinity. Only one college game was played this year owing to the fact that the team was not organized until late in the season. Next year a good schedule should be arranged, and with some support from the students, there is no reason why R. P. I. should take a back seat. IQQQ Football .Al 'l'EIi all that has been said about football, all the appeals that have been made in the past, both to the Faculty and student' body, still nothing has resulted and the few faithful ones have borne the brunt of the entire work. There is not a man in the Institute who does not take some pride in the achievements of the team, but there it stops. They are all ready to praise where praise is due, more ready to roast where they, from their limited point of view, think a roast is deserved, and that is the sum and substance of their petty enthusiasm. At the beginning of this year, there was excellent material for a Hrst-class team. A schedule, which no one could adversely criticize, was arranged, and the prospect was bright for a season that would reflect credit upon Rennsselaer Polytechnic Institute. The first game was lost. Then some of the best players were laid up, one by sickness, another by injuries received in practice. Then was the time for each man to put his shoulder to the wheel and bring the team up to the standard llll necessary to accomplish the hard work in store, and no one can gainsay the fact, that had they done so, most of the defeats which followed would have been victories. But the apathy of each showed itself. There were plenty of men, who, if they had shown the right interest, would have gone out for practice, and upon them and them alone the blame lies for the results which followed, but as they include the greater part of the student body, the censure should be general. Still let us give credit to those few deserving ones, the captain, who by hard work kept the team together, the capable manager. who by excellent business methods, made the team a success financially. These and the few others who did all that they could Cand who can do more?j stand out, shining examples for us to follow in years to come. Let us then, students of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, start in another year with a determination to make a place in athletics for the Institute we love, that will be on a par with the place she holds educationally. It rests with us, for once the Faculty sees our determination, it will lend its support, and the outcome will be one of which Faculty, Alumni and student will be proud. QQ!! Basketball A'l' 'l'llE opening of Basketball season of this year, the Institute was able to put on the floor a team whose equal has never played under the R. P. I. colors. The management had also, after considerable work, gotten a schedule worthy in every respect of the team that was to play. The usual terms were made with the State Armory for playing the games, of which all but two were to be held in Troy. The first game was with the University of Syracuse, and resulted in a total defeat. of that team. We next played Trinity College and also defeated them. Then, after Xmas vaca- tion, Union refused to keep their date, and the Central Y. M. C. A. took their place. After that the ' 1l5 ' Washington Continentals defeated us, but we managed to retaliate by defeating them on their own Hoor early the next term. A In the meantime games such as Cornell, Columbia, Yale, etc., had to be cancelled. Why? Simply from lack of support. In no case, not even Harvard excepted, were the gate receipts enough to cover the game's expenses, and in all cases the advertisements came to more than was left after the guarantee had been paid. Now many people ask why that is so. Wliy can't we support a team g at any rate a winning team ? The answer is very simple and has been proved so over and over again where the Institute is concerned. The Institute men look at a game as if it were their due, as if, after they had passed a resolution at a union meeting that there should be a team, this team was to play for their pleasure or health. The fellows go or not as best suits them and let the team take care of itself. No effort is made to help things along: even subscriptions are not paid. They don't realize, or don't care whether the management loses or not. They don't back itg they don't back the team. Under such discouraging conditions one can hardly wonder that the team loses spirit and interest, and the management money. There is just this about the whole affair. Until the students realize that their support, both by their presence at the games and financially, is given willingly, there can be no success in athletics here. It must be remembered that no team, however much they like the game, and no management, however rich, are out for their health. They are there to uphold the colors they wear, and it would seem a pretty big burden to let them carry them entirely and utterly alone. f , a x i ' l u E .1 lill:'...4l Q1k?S ffQ1i'.I' ' ' f: -.

EVERY 1-'El.l,ow is bound to devote at least a certain amount of his time to recreation. It is absolutely impossible to compel any body of students to give its sole attention to Insti- tute work. There are some few of an ex- traordinarily studious turn of mind who find recreation enough in their work, but they are exceptions, and the amount of work given out is governed by what the body of students will do rather than these few. Therefore, we all have a certain amount of time on our hands which is to be spent according to our pleasure. The question arises, how shall this time be spent? At present, owing either to the sickly condition, laziness, indifference or some such similar ladylike disease of the students, together with the non-support of the Faculty, it is like pulling a tooth to get a man out for practice on one of the athletic teams. The men prefer to spend their time gaduing up and down the belt, lounging on the stoops of cigar stores smoking cigarettes, or lounging about some bar drinking beer--or worse, ruining their health, their morals and pocket books. It is certain the time is misspent. How much more invigorating, more beneficial andelevating would be recreation spent in the manly sports! just as much time, if not more, would be put on the work and the students would be in a better condition to stick to it. It is a real fact that we have enough time--there is no lack of it. If the Faculty would interest itself enough to arrange the time of recitations, all would be well. We honestly believe that any parent would rather see his son spend his time in athletics than on H the belt, or backing up a cigar in the Star theatre. Besides there are other reasons why we should excel in athletics. Nothing would make us so proud to be a son of R. P. I., nor would so promote that spirit discussed in the following remarks by one whose ideas on the matter we heartily endorse:- H .Esprii du Corps. Esp1'z't ect rd. IQ Q Q Esprit du Corps H EsPRI'1' DU Comfs is a powerful factor in every organization whether military, political, religious or educational. Without it, armies are inferior, political parties are liable to ruptureg the church lacks spirit, and the college is incomplete. It is not simply for the Clogies that men go to college. The associations and fraternal spirit count for much. Many a man owes his success in life, or at least his opportunities to achieve success, to the acquaintances and associations formed at college. Sentiments in common are the bond of brotherhood, and love of Alma rllater is a sentiment with strange power to unite the hearts of generous youths and hold them in enduring friendships. It is not strange then that progressive institutions seek to stimulate this esprit du corps or love of Alma Mater in all possible ways? A full blooded, healthy, young man naturally loves athletics, and a Faculty that is f' up to snuff skillfully directs this predelection, to the great advantage of the student and the college as well. Freshy, Senior or grey-haired Alumnus that will - not root for our nine or our eleven or 'f our crew is a thin blooded fellow who wastes time in going to college, and the Faculty that 118 does not thrill with the victory of ours on the gridiron or the diamond ought to go out of the business. Young men's sports are as natural as the songs of birds. A wise faculty will use this inclination to inculcate a discipline and f' Qpsril du corj1.i ' that will serve alike the best purposes of college and student. A college warranted to impart so much information for a certain specified consideration may graduate men with minds stored with quite a lot of more or less accurate information, but this will be pitifully short of the real scope and purpose of college life. Greek and Latin and mathematics and physics are after all but the husks. The real college life is the discipline, the broadening, the deepening of character, the contests, the rushes, the emulation, the strife. the forbearances, the generosities in victory, the fortitude in defeat, the culture which it gives. . There must be that something, which for want of a better word is called csjwrz'f du roms, which is the outward sign of the love and pride in which Alma Mater is held, and which is reliable evidence that the college is doing rea! work. The Polytechnic THIS POl.Y'l'L:cIeINItt has just completed another successful year, owing to the able efforts of the Editors. The Editor-in-chief is to be congratulated on the high quality of the leading articles, and upon the general excellence of the paperg the Business Manager upon the creditable showing that he has made, and the Associate Editors upon the high standard that they have maintained in their various departments. When the Editors for this year, 1901-'02, took charge of ff Tl-Ili Po1.x 1'14:Cl1N1c, they found every thing in a deplorable state, from beginning to end. They have left to their successors a paper which is well up to the high standard that has made THIS POI,Y'1'1ELII'lNIC what it is. Moreover, they have left the paper in able hands, and another successful year has commenced. ' ll!! Athletic Association IT rms HICEN suggested that all teams get their support from the R. P. I. Union, each member of the Union giving a certain sum each year towards the support of Athletics. This plan would do away with the nuisance of constantly putting one's hand in one's pocket. As things are run now, each team manager goes around with his subscription list. We start in with football, then comes basketball, hockey and baseball, and by the end of the year each student is heartily sick and tired of the continued demands upon his purse. The plan proposed was this: that each man be assessed a certain amountg that this money be paid into the treasury of the R. P. I. Uniong that a board or committee, consisting of the Manager of each team, the Grand Marshal, the President of the Union, be constituted to disburse this money to the interest of the undergraduate bodyg that each member be given a season ticket for admission to all games played on the home grounds. Qtr! An Improvement THE c:1iNIiltAr. appearance of the Institute grounds has been much improved by the removal of the old wooden fence along Eighth street. It is remarkable what a difference it makes. But a problem arises: how can people be kept from tramping down the sod and making a short cut path from the steps to the street? A Keep off the Grass sign would stay in place about an hour and forever afterwards adorn the wall of some student's room. This sign swiping mania seems to have taken possession of the American college student throughout the land. It's a foolish craze at best and often leads to swiping other things. For instance, after a class banquet it becomes necessary for the caterer to refurnish his culinary depart- i720 N ment from silverware down to table linen. Recently a S575 compass was returned to the Institute after wandering around for seven years, a surveying section had pinched it for a souvenir in the early nineties. It's bad enough to have signs staring you in the face the minute you get outside the house, but much worse when, upon opening your eyes, you are confronted by a placard bearing this inscription: Pressers Wanted for Ladies' Waists, or Law Office QP Room 8. QQQ l'1' WAS WITH great regret that the students learned of Mr. Platt's intention to remain no longer a member of the Faculty of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. While he has been with us a shorter time than perhaps any of the other professors, he has made himself very popular. His knowledge of chemistry and ability to teach it caused him to be greatly liked and respected as an instructor. Those who have spent much time in the laboratory since he became connected with it know how efficient were his services there. In the course in qualitative especially did the fellows find his interest and help of great assistance to them. I-Ie always stood ready to go over anyone's tests and could invariably discover the cause which had led the student astray in determining the true ingredients of his unknown. Mr. Platt's constant good humor and courtesy made him especially popular and these, together with his knowledge, fitted him for a position far better than that of assistant in chemistry. We cannot blame him, therefore, because of his determination to leave us, though we feel that we shall miss him greatly. We wish him the best of luck in whatever he may undertake in the future. QQ! I'r WILI, B15 a pleasure to all, who have ever known George Crossland, to hear that he is again out and looking well, having been ill, and very seriously. for some time. And now he is once more the same old genial Pete he was when at the Institute, and King of the Lab. in Billy's absence, what hosts of friends and good stories he has--the accumulation of twenty odd years in the ways of old R. P. I. I-lis stories are good and his friends don't forget him, and we wish him and his all kinds of good luck and God-speed wherever his new duties may take him. R 121 1 The R. P. I.

HE outlook for a first-class Rensselaer Baseball team for the season of .1902 is one of tl1e brightest that the Institute has ever had. About fifteen or twenty years ago the R. P. I. team stood among the first in college circles, but from that time on there has been a steady decrease in college spirit and also in the support given by the Faculty and students to this branch of athletics. For over ten years R. P. I. has not had a 'Varsity team, until last year, when several class teams presented such good material that it was decided to organize a 'Varsity Baseball team for the season of nineteen hundred and two. Through the untiring efforts of Captain WVirth and Manager Banker this team was organized and has already' shown its strength and abilities in several well contested games. Every student knows how hard it is to 'tstart anything here at the Tute and a boomer in any branch of athletics has everything to hinder him. First, it is the non-support and what seems almost to be the opposition of the Facultyg then it is the hard hours in which we are compelled to be at recitations and so we are prevented from getting out to practice. Even our Saturdays, the only days that we can arrange games, are being taken from us. Another thing we need before we can feel free to challenge other teams is a place to play and also to practice. Outside colleges want return games, and as we are situated now, it is hard to arrange them. There are good grounds near the Institute, which could be bought for a reasonable ' 12:1 outlay and which, if we possessed them, would add much to our reputation in college athletic circles. All these things have hindered and delayed the work of organizing our 'Varsity team, but we hope, now it has made such a fine showing, that support will not be lacking from faculty or students, and that sometime in the near future, there will be such a thing as an R. P. I. campus. Gur schedule for the present season shows games with five colleges and two with teams composed of former college men. No better prospect could be wished for than tl1at which we have for next year. Not a single player will graduate with '02 and there are a great many good subs. Every student should support the team by contribution and attendance at games, as this is the only way of showing appreciation of the good work of the fellows in the field. Witl1 all this in our favor, why should not the Rensselaer Baseball team stand foremost among the college teams of the country? 1 IZIU . .Z ,J ff M LJLKQEHR I Basketball Team Clqlfdl-Il, HARRY E.

In the neighborhood of the depot astonished travelers got an inkling that something was on from the fragments of conversation floating about. Hello Bill! Gimme a cigarette. Well there's Brick! 'tGot a hammock in your Satchel, Solly! I want a match. Wl1ere's Billy Gosh? Let's give 'em a yell- Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rensselaer! All aboard. But when they heard the Institute yell, they knew t11e meaning of it all. We took possession of a coach and though our ride was not marked by any such display of hilarity as the class showed on the way to Ballston, the two hours were much enjoyed. Vivid accounts of half completed conquests of the summer girl, tales of struggles with summer thesis, a few songs, and we found ourselves at Granville. The fair members of the community were awaiting our arrival on the platform and they seemed quite satisfied with our general appearance. There are two places in Granville where eat, drink and be 7l16'7'7'-jlU1'1'1?ly be obtained Qfor a considerationj and to these we went, the class dividing about evenly into two sections. At one of these, the Central House, we found Profs. Raymond, Cary and Firth installed and here we reported in the afternoon for a stroll over the grounds of our future labors. Granville is situated on the border line between New York and Vermont and lies in a narrow valley between the Adirondack and Green Mountains. On first view the neighboring hills, with their numerous slate quarries, to which we were to rear our railroad, looked very picturesque. 150 When, however, it became necessary to carry an instrument up their sloping sides, sentiment faded from the picture and in its place were substituted a series of -- -- 1 -- or at least sentences containing little of the article they replaced. A There were three sections, all of them starting from a common point and branching out like the arms of a Y. Section I ran to the left to Lake St. Catherine, six milesg section II ran to another set of quarries about six miles away to the rightg while section III ran in the stem of the Y, serving the Norton quarries and connecting them with the Delaware 84: Hudson Railroad. Shortly after our first supper in the village, we assembled in front of the Munson House intending to give the natives a few vocal selections, but after we had rendered one or two of the old standbys some one kindly informed us that the local Welsli Glee Club had been awarded the prize as the best singing organization in the country. So we substituted the college yells in place of songs and everyone knows that an R. P. I. yell can't be beaten. W01'k began at eight in the morning and ended at five in the afternoon, with half an hour for lunch. For the first few days we were able to walk back and get dinner at the hotel, but after that we either waited until the belated lunch man found our section or descended upon some unprotected farmer's house and ate them out of house and home. These people were used to feeding men with good appetites, but their experience stopped there. At one meal eleven of us cleaned up the week's supply of cake and bread, and drank so much milk that we had to pay for the butter the lady would have made but couldn't now. At night we were too tired to raise cane, and then, too, we were Seniors and the very thought was sufficient to quell any disturbance. Girls there were, but they were not so distinctively P. S. as those fair Ballstonians who helped to make our junior survey the most memorable event in our course at the Tute. Some few of them were willing to drink an ice cream soda with us however. There is a summer hotel at Lake St. Catherine and when sections I and II were in walking distance, they went over for dinner. All of us look tough no doubt, and when the proprietor of the above resort was approached in regard to supplying a meal, he agreed on condition that we wait until his guests had finished before taking possession of the dining room. He l1ad an awful prejudice against working clothes, so one Sunday a crowd went over to show him what we looked like when doing the belt. I 151 One night Bill Young went fishing for bull heads with a torch and spear and as a result he spent the remainder of the stay in Granville catching up in sleep. We found him one day wrapped in the arms of Morphus and there proceeded to erect a monument over him. A neighboring fence supplied the requisite stones. When Bill awoke, he thought that it was judgment Day in deed and in truth. H Brick took a picture of this second tower of Babel and intends to use it for black mail when Bill becomes famous. We got along admirably with the people. When any of them complained about the raids on the orchards or vineyards 'all that was necessary to restore the peace was a vague reference to the Company that would pay all damages. Sometimes it didn't work, for 1901 spent a few weeks in the neighborhood. When we left, they were sorry, but were consoled by the thought that the Iuniors were to soon fill the places we were leaving vacant. What they thought when the juniors left is entirely a different matter, as you will learn upon reading the history of The Yellow Onion. G. R. S. The Hydrographic Survey LIQAVING Granville on a Thursday, no one suspected for a minute that we would be required to visit South Troy to have a look at the Hudson, until the following Monday. Visions of a glorious time in Troy until Monday faded like the mist when Eddie announced to the gang on our special Pullman, shortly after leaving Granville, that all must report at 9 o'clock Friday morning. Wliat can't be cured must be endured, so Friday morning found us there at 9 precisely, and at 9:30, 9 :45 and any tin1e up until 10 o'clock. The party was divided. half being sent to the lower part of the job, the others staying above. These who went below, like the stokers on the ship, worked. The fortunate bunch who drew the upper part of the job worked-occasionally. Profs. Cary, Chillman and Firth told us what we had to do. Each party took an instrument and the work of mapping the river by triangulation was begun. Those not busy with the guns were supposed to take notes. Taking notes is not hard work, but sleeping is easier. When a man has his choice, he generally selects that which is easiest. In this case all but two men slept. The instrument man worked and one of the party took notes. ' 153 The monotony of the day was varied by an occasional scouting party that went on a still hunt for lunches. It would'nt do to print here what Stump Bascom said the day his lunch disappeared. If you have any curiosity to know what it was, ask Stump. Not far from the scene of our work a wet goods dispensary is located. September is a warm month as a rule, and last September was no exception. More than one fellow found the stuff, dis- posed of here, to his liking, and it was not an uncommon sight to see a fellow accompanied by a can being ferried over. O Monday, the third day, saw the triangulation finished. ' Tuesday, October 1, we began the sounding. A boat crew had to be selected. Tillie Barker was selected to be the sounding pole, but as Stump was to handle the pole, he protested, saying that Tillie's feet would be stuck in the mud after the first dip, and that he would not be able to pull him out. That settled things, so a pole of wood was substituted and Tillie handled it. Barney and Ad completed the crew. As we had but eleven cross sections to take, the work of sounding was completed by noon. One of the features of the day was the appearance on the job of Prof. Chillman, who had'nt been seen for four days. Signs of trouble were visable all day, especially among the members of section 3. The day previous Skinny had been dropped in the river by Dleutchf' This was a mere indication of what was to follow on the morrow. After dinner on Tuesday the party embarked on the west side for a trip across the river. Had the gun been in any place other than in that boat, there is no telling what might have happened. As it was everyone in the boat engaged in a rough-house, during which all were drenched. The worst was yet to come. When shore was reached, each man prepared for the fray. Each in turn went in the drink. One man ran away. What happened to him is told in verse elsewhere. V 154 This ended the South Troy work. The following morning all reported at Watervliet and man- aged to kill time until noon. After dinner we saw the upper Hudson from the rear of Lansingburg for upper Troy if you will have itj water works station. We learned a few things about rating the meter and testing to ascertain the flow of a stream. Three fellows learned that they did not know all about handling a canoe. The remaining two days of the week we put in at the Institute preparing our notes and getting our first knowledge of what we had done on the Hydrographic Survey. l55 The Fate of John Abram Quitter O, hearken men of R. P. I. This tale I have to tell, Should all your vocal organs tune VVhen next you start to yell. Some several score of rodmen brave Went forth to test a South Troy waveg With transit, rods and tripod all, They felt equipped for storm or squall. Chief Skinny, he from Bad Man's Land, Held tight the reins with steady hand, On Goozie, Deitch and Witmer Jay, In efforts fierce to save the dayg To Section Three with Sir Fitz Bob The only Section on the job. Vain the struggle on Ruby's part To keep his aides on work intent, Their spirits oped like Noah's Ark And soon on mischief keen were bent. Qld Hudson's grave was undermined Witli war-whoops, reaching half a mile, Then shower baths came next in line, - Shampoos galore of every style, Baptisms, soakings up-to-date, All came in order of their state. l56 Wlien lo, upon this field of riot Each Warrior stopped, chilled through with The cause, my friends, I fain would hide- Alas, one brave quit with the tide. Turned tail and wildly lied the street, Refused to wet his tender feet. Our transit dear, ye Shades of Bruce Deserted to avoid a douche. Each man rubbed down his lusty chest, And for Friend Quitter went in quest. Stern their brows and quick their gait, The honor of Section Three at stake. And Abe who scorned the mermaid flirts, Retraced his steps from Troy's Iron Wo1'ks, Hemmed in by Chiefs whose funeral sighs The Dead March requiemed to the skies. With leaden pace in file and rank, john Abram Quitter walked the plank, Wliile grinning mates in voices shrill, Helped make complete poor Abie's spill. Wlien next he, of the quitting trait, Comes into view with loitering gait, A drooping, dripping, dewy sprite, A water logged besoakened sight, Is that which steps to Earth again, A Warning to the best of meng A victim said of Undine's wrath The man who didn't want a bath. F. ' 157 fright C. M. As Froggy Tells It SAV, I used to tink dem Institute fellers was pretty smart lads, but some of dem act like dey was crazy. I went to a meeting of de Senior class de odder day, and dat bunch is luny for fair. I heard dere was going to be a meeting so I went down to sell some of me poipers, and it was so funny I staid to see de show. You see it was like dis. Dere was a bunch of fellers on one side of de room, and anodder bunch on de odder side and two fellers sitting at de table. One of dem dey called de chair man and de odder was writing down de doings of the meeting. First de chair man got up and he says de odder guy will please read for a minute bout de last meeting. After he had done dat, de chair man said it was up to dem to elect a President. I asked a feller what any one wanted to be President for, and he said de President was de most popular man in de class. Say, dat was funny cause dere didn't seem to be any body who was popular wid any body else. Well, a guy on one side of de room got up and said dat his gang was going to vote for de chair man. Den some one on de odder side got up and he said dat his gang was going to vote for some odder guy. Den de chair man said if dey was going to vote for him hewould have to go back and sit down, and dat de feller what was writing would take de chair. De new chair man began by saying dat dey would have to excuse if he made any mistakes 'cause he didn't know much about de business. Hully gee, from de way dey acted I guess dey didn't any of dem know much about it. Well, dey started voting wid little slips of poiper and it came fourteen to fourteen. So dey tried again two or tree times, and when dey see dat it came de same way every time, dey tried it some more, instead of tossing up a penny or some ting like dat. When dey got tired of voting some guy 1584 would get up and listen to himself talk, and call some odder feller a gentleman. He didn't tink de odder feller was a gentleman, he tought he was a lier, but I guess he was too much of a gentleman or a lier himself to say so. By and by some bozly said dat dey better adjourn. Den a feller got up and asked de chair man what was de meaning of adjourn. Dat made me laugh 'cause I nowd what dat means: it means get out. But de chair man said if de feller wanted to know. he better look it up in the dictionary, 'cause he didn't know himself. De feller said de chair man was insulting him wid an answer like dat, and de chair man said he couldn't give him any odder answer 'cause he didn't know any. So dey sassed each odder for -- about five minutes and den dey did some more voting. After dey had been doing like dat for about four AkJ4,f'fQvZ!5gh'-YD hours, some body got up and said dey better do de odder Q7 X fl ji jji business and elect de officers afterwards. So de old chair X man came back and dey did some more talking. Den de - chair man said dere was fourteen wanted to adjourn and f S I fourteen dat didn't want to adjourn, so dey would have to 7 ,Jn 9465 V - in? adjourn. I don't know wedder dats what you call a ma- ' jority or a plurality, but it must l1ave been one or de -9 J -.J odder 'cause de all got out. 'fd K Q lfili X So dere was dem guys who is old enough to know .,v lf' better, sitting dere for four hours making waste poiper X 'rg' when de might have been chasing de belt or getting a X3 f good supper. And all any one of dem got out of it was a ,Fi ji headache and a pretty good idea dat de odder feller was a L 3 ' I ' lobster. I once heard a feller say, f' What fools us mor- li! f A tals is. Say, I'1l bet he meant dem Seniors up at de K Institute. 150 Meeting of Some Members of the Class of '03 In Which They Bring Up Old Times at the R. P. I. DATE-1912. PLACE-Busy street in any old town. Hello, Floyd Knox! how are you, anyway? ,Ah, there, Crannell, my gazabo, that you? Oh, I am able to sit up on the lounge and drink my gruel. How's your heart, playing tag with your liver? VVhat's on you mind? Are you working? Crannell: Oh, yes, I am traveling for a Bible publishing house. QKnox sidesteps and looks about for an alley to make a duck.j But how about you, Floyd? Wliat are you doing? Knox: Oh, anybody. tCrannell pulling his straw hat over his ears and feeling under his vest for the safety pin and attached bunch of three dollars in National bank lithographsj But isn't that unlawful? Knox: You don't understand: you remember Ramsay. Well, he and I are running a music hall, called The Gem, down the street away. You can see it from here. That geke standing in the doorway with the white apron on is Rogers, he is tending bar for us. Come down and shake hands with the boys. CKnox takes Crannell down, and as they enter the door three hot-looking sports make a break for Crannell, but Knox waves them back-a general dislocation of hands-after which Knox sets up the drinks.j What are you going to have, Crannell? Crannell Qabsent mindedlyj: Guess I'11 have a bar of soap, whereupon Ramsay falls on his face in the sawdust unconscious and Rogers reaches for the seltzer bottle. Finally, order is restored, and being all out of root beer, Crannell takes Seltzer, vowing he didn't drink anything strong. 160 Rogers and Knox take whisky straight, while Ramsay seems satisfied with a beer. Soon the conver- sation turns to old times at the Tute, and Ramsay remarks, H YVonder what ever became of VVil1iams? I Knox: Why, he is traveling with a stock companyg comes out between the acts and breaks paving stones with his fist, and does some more strong arm work. tExclamations of surprise from the gang.j Rogers: Does anyone know what Lizzie McClellan is doing? Crannell: Why, he made a mint of money running a Turkish bath in South Troy. Regular boom when it started. They fairly fought to get at the suds. He has eight children. Ramsay Qinterruptingj: You mean his wife, don't you P Crannell tblushing deeplyj: Yesg it's all the same, and he is president of the local Y. M. C. A. in addition to being superintendent of a Sunday school. tGroans from the crowd.j Ramsay: I wonder what ever became of Tennentf' Knox: Sad thing about Tennent. You remember that little growth he was nursing on his upper lip? Well, one night, a short time ago, while he was in 'dopedom,' his lancllady's cat got into his boudoir and -CChorusj scratched his eyes out. No, licked that little hot-house plant off with one stroke of her tongue that he had been nursing and watering with brown-pop for years. He never rallied from the lick. Next morning a physician filled out a membership blank for Machinery hall, and they took him away in a closed carriage. Ramsay: Anybody ever hear anything from Schermerhorn? Knox: Oh, he went to the dogs fast. Perhaps you recall how tough he was about getting assaying timeg started to swear something dreadful, made you shudder. It was 'Rats,' then 'Borax,' 'Fudgef 'Chuddy,' etc. Why, he had an endless vocabulary. Then he next tackled the Sweet Caps. Finally, jack Wright showed him how to make an Oriental water pipe out of a beer bottle. That was the limitg he couldn't buy the 'Mechanics' Delight' in large enough packages. Last thing I heard of him he was running an opium joint in Watervlietf' T 161 Crannell: I often wonder what Wilson took up? Rogers: Funny thing about Wilson, he went into real estate, but it was against his will. That swinging gait and elastic step of his got him into trouble. VVell, he was up in Cohoes visiting an old flame about two years ago and tried to cross in front of a rapidly moving trolley car. The news- boys picked up freckles for a straight half hour by a stop-watch. Lovely funeral. Knox: I am trying to think of that fellow's name that used to drop his eyebrows like an awning. Crannell: Oh, I know who you mean, Stanton, used to wear a sweater. I heard that he wore it all night, afraid to take it off, might tear it. Ramsay: He's doing O. K. Couldn't break the ties that bound him to old Troy, accepted a position as stage manager with Sammy Goggin, and ended by buying Sammie out. Gradually gossip begins to lag, and Rogers pulls out the date-book kept on the double-entry system, and informs Ramsay and Knox that they each have a date at 8 P. M. So after bidding all hands good-bye and wiping his mouth on the bar towel for the last time, Crannell leaves in a private horse-car for Albany to be buried alive for six months more. mx, Q 1 4 A Distinguished Member of the Freshman Class lJoU1:'1'l,lf:ss very few are aware that we have a real live repre- sentative from the nation's capital in our midst, but such is the fact. He answers to the name of Robbie: for the sake of his parents we will withhold his maiden name, but as a hint we will tell you that it is very appropriate for a Freshman. A rufhan remarked that you could call him almost any old thing and still be on the right track. Perhaps you have never been fortunate or unfortunate enough to see him. He is obliged to stand twice in the same spot in order to make a shadow-hence we will describe him. He has a high gear, about 1108, his general makeup resembling very closely a piano lamp and he would improve his looks in a great measure if he would blow himself up with an atomizer every morning. His carriage is superb, but the hind wheels are a little dished, due undoubtedly, to turning sharp corners. It is alleged that he copied it from a U. S. Senator, but the blue print was over exposed, giving it a blurred appearance. He has a pair of large, dark, sympathetic eyes, which give you the impression that he is about to say, Chl how could you do it. If he ever put his foot on a platter, one would have a better' chance guessing the whereabouts of the pea in a shell game, than which foot the platter was under. 1623 He wears a grey lid, large enough for a gas tank, and were it not for the cornice resting on his shell like ears, it would doubtless telescope him. VVhen the weather is warm he wears a large military overcoat to keep the heat out. We cannot make out the color of it with the naked eye because of the profusion of black braid, but basing our conjectures on the surcingle, which girdles his loins and which is apparently of the same material, it looks like blue. Later we have learned that he has removed the - -, .7-W braid to use in flying his box kite.

Dear Sir:- Having been given charge of the obsequies of the late james McCrockett Calculus, we wish to make formal announcement of his death and of the funeral arrangements. james McCrockett Calculus died from a severe attack of delirium tremens, having been driven to drink by the inconsistent manner in which he was rushed by his friends and the consistent way they 'jfiunked him. Even james McGiffert, one of his best friends, was numbered among the Hunkersf' This last blow was too much for poor hallucinated Calculus, and he succumbed. One of his last wishes was that there be no weeping at his beer, and that all arrangements should be in harmony with the cause of his death. Consequently, all mourners shall observe the following arrangements: - The funeral procession will leave our main office at 7 lf. M., Friday, january 31, 1902. The remains will be cremated at Washington Hall Cemetery. Kindly respect the dead by attending the funeral. Very truly yours, 1 Mmacus HUl.lNGS, Emvmui W. BANKER, Louis G.

S'rAN'1'oN, Representing the firm of Naughty Three 8: Co. 171 Long and Short If while strolling on the belt some day, Two Willie Boys should chance your way, You'd quote them quite the proper sort, Known about town as the long and short. The tall young man whose name is Mayer, Has trousers cut with a real swell Qnitj flare, His Matinee Shoulders are the envy of all, But to wear them kind takes a whole lot of gaul. His tailor, no doubt, is cautioned with care, To build out his hips with cloth of hair, To give them a swing and a hang that is real, So the girls will all stare when he goes for a spiel. Were I the wearer of that type of pants I think I'd step off in a beautiful trance, And every time I should walk the beat Would consider the ladies had had a treat. And the hat! When he doffs it with graceful swing He's just too lovely for anything. Were I a girl, he'd be my hero, For when he's on the globe all others are zero. Of the other young man words can be few, For whatever one does the other does too, His clothes are built on the same freak plan, To cut it short, they're a lovely span. 173 ' 3 -. 7 Qifgufr .rllf Qcumldi K : 'Z L Q 1 A-'M 5 A' 'I ,eff A 'QW' W.

The years age fast, Our lives must wane, And what is past Must past remain. Had you been mine, You would have made My life sunshine Instead of shade. You bid me go, And said, Forget I did not know My cruel fate. True love is blind, And I, who fled, Do now know My life is dead. No more for me, Will Sunshine's bloom, Naught can there be, But Winter's gloom. All hopes forever Must crushed remain, As you can ne'er Be mine again. For, after all, Should you regret And should recall That word Forget, I'll have you learn, In no loving tone, My heart can't turn, For heart I've none. It's bled to death From Cupid's dart And even love's breath Can't fife in part. Good-bye forever From that refrain As you can ne'er Be mine again.

Froggy The Yellow Onion There were three hotels in Granville, the Yellow Onion and two others. The latter are not worthy of mention when the Yellow Onion is under discussion, so nothing will be said of them. The Yellow Onion came into existence when the class of '03 arrived in Granville. Up until that time the building was no more remarkable than any of the other dozen houses that compose Granville. Circumstances forced the bunch of Yellow Onions on the Yellow Onion and incidentally forced the Yellow Onion on the bunch. It was not the fault of the bunch. The two unimportant hotels were filled, so it was necessary to go some place. The aforesaid bunch comprised Barney and his wife, Skinny, Deutsch, Stump, Marcus, Greeny, Ad and Bert. These, with their luggage, including sixteen boxes of choice stationery, were soon installed at the since famous hostelry. The schedule of meals and incidentals of the first day follows :-- 8 :OO A. M. The crowd comes out of it. 8:10 ff End of ten minutes' rough house. 8:30 Breakfast-coffee and potatoes. 12:10 lf. M. Dinner-potatoes, coffee and potatoes. O :OO Supper-potatoes and coffee. 10 :OO Barney gets in. 11:59 H All in but Deutsch and Skinny. 12 :3O A. M. Deutsch and Skinny get in. l ill 12 140 ' End of some more rough house. I2 :41 Proprietor appears and asks for money. 12 :-H-30 Proprietor goes down stairs fwithout moneyj. '12 :45 A. xl. Everybody turns in. Such was the daily program. Excepting the menu, which never changed, the schedule suffered slight variations. The menu was the undoing of the Onions. Coffee and potatoes occasionally are all right, but as a steady diet they didn't go. Nature called a halt. just before reaching the point of starvation, the Onions transplanted themselves. The night before the departure was a red letter event for the bunch. Here it is better to speak in the negative. Suffice it to say that the building was not torn down. The proprietor was lward to remark, as the breath perfumers filed out: NVell, I am at least thankful that that Albany boy was on the water wagon while in Granville.

Editor 'S to blame, Irish We have heard that he's a Scotchman, And as far as names imply, I guess on this supposition, We may certainly rely. But since he came to college, He has always been addressed, By the cognomen of Irish,', And it seems to suit him best. His dignity is what attracts The casual passer by, Angelic facel' they say he has When not upon the sly.

As well as his H star dancing, The piano can he play, Learns all the songs as they come out, So I have heard them say. You stick to the ship boys, I'll save me life, Is a song on the shelf, he's laid, And now it is Mr. Noah And a Merry little mountain maid. vi His accomplishments are so many, To tell them would take all night, So I'll quit this meaningless ditty, And say, Irish, you are all right. ' Q Q 4 , Incidental I - There once was a famous Hair-dresser, lfVho lived in a Trojan town, And he was the haughty possessor Of dangerous eyes of brown. He used to dislike all the girls that he knew, His glances he grudgingly gave, But once, by mistake, a young maid met his view, Who gave him a very close shave. 2 They met and remet more than once every day She foxily drew him on more. He'd rush out of Whiteis to the end of Broadway To see her go in at the door. The girl of his heart there he found in a dell, Where a Birdie might flock by himself. Further details we're forbidden to tell, So we'll lay this one up on the shelf. v The Seminary Palladium In the VVillard campus shady, There sits an ancient lady, Courting rheumatiz, neuralgia and catarrh. Her case is very sad,-- Much learning made her mad: Take warning, all ye students near and far! Her cheek is hard and brassyg And her optics fixed. and glassy, Watching out for Rensselaer pollys, short and tall. She stays out late o'nights, And takes in all the sights, And guards the maidens fair of Gurley Hall. What escapes her keen attention Is scarcely worth a mention, And so, O young ilirtatious man, beware! In june, or in December, Forget not to remember Relentless Emma, sitting in her chair. ' IQ!!! A Change I was young and therefore did not know, I was older when again those lips I spied, So I asked, VVhy are thy lips so red? And I asked, Why are they now so pale?'l And they puckered up demurely slow And they parted as she replied As she said with inclined head, With a voice that told many a tale, I For kissing. From kissing. 202 l I am dreaming, fondly dreaming, Of the days I spent in Troy, Of the time I was in College, VVhen I was a wayward boy. And I am thinking as I sit here, How like Mike I used to bone, And I am wishing, fondly wishing. That I might some way atone. I Wonder QQ! To,.,,s Here's to a maid so fair, but cruel, Who seeks to live by Plato's rule, And thinks that friendships ought to De Minus love and fancy free. Blessed of every feminine grace, Blessed of art--and radiant face, All complete-except in this- Her thoughts on friendship are amiss. 203 Ah! that sheep-skin have I longed for In the many walks of life, just that little piece of parchment Have I needed in the strife. And I wonder if that same chance Should be offered me again, If I'd win that little sheep-skin Or be a fool-the same, as then. Platonic friends? For her they'll do, But as for us poor men-Alas 'tis true, Her good example does involve A problem much too hard to solve. From love to like we cannot bend, Nor change from woer back to friend- May Cupid aid us with a dart, To pierce at last this maidenis heart. Y A Measure for Reform To men who do not hesitate, To publicly declare they hate All women --I do dedicate, This effort for reform. Now girls are really not so bad, And as for being scared of dad,- Why, he was once a bashful lad, And he had to reform. Suppose you should experiment, Now that we have passed through Lent, Advertise your heart H for rent, just to try reform. Think of all the time you've lost. View the future, count the cost, T'wixt desire and fear you're tossed, Hasten to reform. V There is one, his name fair be, Fascinating, fancy, free, Now what pity it would be, Should he not reform. Dainty stature, eyes of blue, Curly locks, so young, so new, Hates the girls! it can't be true! Surely he'll reform. 9 H Then there's one so dark and stern, When he's near, the girls adjourn, He won't even try to learn, A lesson in reform. And this refractory young man, Exerts his power all he can, Over others of his clan, Never to reform. Then when Reuben came to town Hr began to turn them down, Scorns the maid with eyes of brown Claims he shan't reform. He is leader in command, Now that Shorty's left the band, Sporty Shorty's got the sand, lids reformed ! H. O. G. spells just one more, Who, is coming to the fore, Tempted by full half a score, To reform. Of the others we are mute, All of them attend the Tute, Nota lady seems to suit, Hopeless of reform. Let them go, the truth is fare, They've not nerve enough to dare, Men whom little girls can scare, Don't deserve reform. Q Q Q Blasted Hopes Large bay-window across the street, VVith crimson colored window seat, Pillows there in great array, Checked and striped very gay: Book lies there all forlorn, Its very early in the morn. Lovely maiden there now I see, Holds the book and flirts with me, Nestles in the pillows close, In a most enticing pose., And my heart is gone so soon, As the clock announces noon. And I write: my dear little maid, Please tonight don't close the shade. And much more love bid me say, Maid still there towards close of dayg Read the note--a look of scorn, Lamp is lighted, shade is drawn. Auto-Epitaph Subject of Examination . .
