William Lispenard Robb. ILLIAM LISPENARD ROBB, Ph. D., LL. D., was born at Saratoga Springs. N. Y., on May 9, 1861. He prepared for College at the Owego Academy and entered Columbia in 1876 and graduated in 1880. He was awarded the Fellowship in Science and spent the next three years in Germany, where he studied under Q5 Q Kohlrausch, von Helmholtz and Kirchoff, taking the degree of Ph. D. from the University of Berlin. Returning home he was engaged for a short time in engineering ki- work on the New Croton Aqueduct, New York City, and the following fall was appointed Assistant in Mathematics ,at the School of Mines, Columbia Uni- versity. In 1885 he was called to Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., as Professor of Physics, where he remained seventeen years. During this time he acted as Consulting Engineer of numerous corporations, notably the Hartford Electric Co., the New York Ship- building Co., and the General Electric Co., all of which positions he now holds. During the Spanish War he was in charge of the installation of submarine mines in Long Island Sound. He is a member of the American Physical Society, and of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In the spring of 1902, Dr. Robb accepted the chair of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the Institute. After accepting his resignation, the Trustees of Trinity College conferred upon him the degree of LL. D., in recognition of his work there. Since he has been in Troy he has impressed his personality upon the courses of instruction in his department, and although he suffered the partial destruction of his laboratory by fire, he has entered upon the work of refittingwith such energy that the courses this year have suffered little. and the future facilities of the department will be materially improved.

They are always the same in name but so different to the senses as to gnc us new Joys and pleasures ' From the flower garden of the R. P. I., the .Tumor Class, blossoms once more The I3 Transit. It has long been developing. Many, many weeks, nay, months it was time . . . . . . . . almost nothing, but receiving nourishment from time to time, in form of literature, qi sketches and ads., it is Bnally presented. It may or may not be kindly received- That depends upon the goodnature of our readers. To those of our fellow-students of whom we have made particular mention. we wish to say that the intention was to be fair to all. We know every good fellow likes a joke, whether it is on himself or on another. We have tried to keep out of our book anything that might hurt the feelings of anyone. We hope, and as we know most of our readers, we feel assured that they will not be too critical in judging our effort. The sentiment of the Board of Editors is: This, our book, is not so bad, And should you note some slight defect Or so it seems to me, Within its prose or verse, As what you might have thought it, Please don't forget to recollect Had we made it thicker, see ? We've written stuff that's worse. Seriously, we have found our task a pleasure, because of the kindness of our contributors. We take this means of thanking them, and do not hesitate to say, that whatever merit may be in our Transit is unqualiliedly due to them.

There was lots of fun and things l 1 l durin the trip 'Xt Westport the class divided, half remaining there and half going to Eliza- were cept ivey g . . bethtown eight miles farther back from Lake Champlain. Our first impressions of Vlfestport, gathered near the Sta- HE CLASS of 1903 first met as Seniors on a aa. - - A -' ' -, ' Y B tion, were far from pleasing, but a walk towards the lake brought us into a more pleasant part of the town and inaterially improved our opinion of it. The looking up of boarding houses took some time, but everyone Hnally found a place. Several of the fellows put up at a small hotel on the main road, but one meal there was sufficient to make them change their quarters. The land along the line of the proposed survey was divided among the sections ' ' d l cted the strip nearest the town: an unfortunate choice as it of the class. Section 1 had the fiist choice an se c turned out, because, owing to a wide valley, the line doubled back and became about twice as long as that of any other section. This, however, was only the beginning of the misfortunes of Section I, whose hard luck Soon became proverbial in the class. The day after our arrival the work of the survey began and the inhabitants of the country soon saw with sur- prise, parties of engineers, with transits and levels, running lines through their cornfields and orchards which suffered materially from these operations. As the fellows did not like the long walk to and from work, a hay- l hich took them out in the morning and back in the afternoon. This ride made one of the wagon was securec, w most pleasant features of the survey and did much to enliven our stay. We found Westpo1't a very tame place compared with Granville, the scene of our junior Survey, but yet we managed to have a good time. The prin- cipal excitement to be found in town was the arrival, every evening, of the steamboat from Plattsburg. A5 the town is run on strict temperance lines the time was passed in a much more quiet way than during the survey of ' f Neve rtheless the crowd got together and made several attempts to impress upon the towns- the previous year. Q , no Jl the fact that they were entertaining R. P. I. students within their borders. One amusement frequently 1 A I 0 , e I indulged in was fishing, and many tales are told concerning the weight of the fish caught by Prof Flynn and Deutch. 31 Meanwhile, the two sections at Elizabethtown were having a more exciting time, as they found themselves in a larger and more lively place. Several hot baseball games were played against the local team and caused great excitement on both sides. These and many other things served to keep the fellows occupied in their spare time and to keep it from hanging heavy on their hands. Trips to the summits of nearby mountains were several times made by a number of the class. At last, however, the survey came to an end and nobody was sorry to start for Troy. Many laughable incidents of this trip will be long remembered. No one in Section I will ever forget Puffer's labors in the important position of rear flagman, nor will anyone, who went on it, forget the Methodist excursion up the lake on a small steamboat and the shipwreck and late return of the excursion- ists. Arrived in Troy, there was a week or two spent in map-drawing, and then, the hard work of the term began. Resistances and Stone Cutting proved hard nuts to crack. ln Bridges, we became, for a time, hopelessly en- tangled in the multitude of stresses and strains, but this subject too, was finally overcome. Hydraulics nearly drove some of our members to a watery grave, while Astronomy and Thermo, each caused in its turn, some difficulty. What troubled us most was the work of calculating a couple of bridges, while at the same time we were spending six hours a day at the Tute. , and studying four or live hours more outside. The Christmas holidays, however, gave us a much needed breathing spell and enabled us to take up the work of Reviews and Examina- tions with renewed energy. It is needless to say that Reviews and Exams kept us busy, but we had in view the relaxation of the second term, and the necessity of standing well on card day spurred us on. This critical day at length arrived and we were not a little anxious to learn the result. This result was most gratifying to us in- dividually and as a class, as it showed that we had done our work well, and that there were but few more obstruc- tions remaining in the road leading to graduation. Thus ended the hardest term, by far, in our Institute course. The second term found us back again at work but with less arduous studies than before, and more leisure than we have enjoyed in a long time. In fact the greater part of our course is over, but yet there remains the important matter of preparing our Theses. As we look back over the three years past, we realize how much we have gone through and how fatal the course has proved to many of our classmates. We miss from our midst many faces which were once so familiar, and th'ink with regret of the many friends and fellow-students who fell by the wayside, unable to keep up with the strenuous life at R. P. T. It is with surprise that we find, out of the seventy-two men, who entered with us as Freshmen, only thirty-nine remaining. Our class has, however, some recruits since the first year, so that we may expect to be one of the largest class ever graduated from the institute. 32 Although most of the fellows do not like Troy at all when they first come here. yet, when they leave, it is with feelings of regret for the breaking off of old associations and habits and for the passing of the good times experienced here as students. The saddest feeling of all, however, is that which comes to us at the thought of leav- ing behind the many dear friends with whom we have spent the year of our Institute eareer and of never afrain , B seeing' the greater part of them. lt is but right that, before this history is brought to a close, we should express in some measure our appreciation of what the members of the faculty have clone for us. They have worked faithfullv throughout our course to enable us to master the principles of the subjects taught by them. While thev may at tiingg have seemed harsh and unjust in what they made us do, yet we know now that it was all for our' own igood. NN'hatever knowledge of engineering we may have, we owe to them, and we wish them all possible sueeess in their future work. iff I7 I N R W1-41 am' I XlQ7,li,fj A, . f'f'6'lti,ml'l7 'li ' fait 'i f1H..'N -TLQQ'-'tjfqt ity K 5534 , .

Baldy Ball, always balled. He started out in life with the intention of becoming a Methodist minister, but because of cigarettes and like influences he missed his calling and early fell from grace to engineering. When Ball gits bailed one may still hear him quoting the scriptures by tune, much to the enjoyment of the small boys, who upon hearing betake themselves to the alleys to practice the latest combinations of sacred oratory. For originality in engineering he is without a peer, having solved many difficult problems: for example: how to set an instrument on a church steeple, and also how to draw converging parallel lines. In the past he has been much interested in exploration and during an extended tour-not in Highways-he endeared himself to the profession by discovering that the ancient Romans used asphalt as a base for their chopped stone roads.

We can't say anything about Bentley other than w times before, and told much more elaborately than we can tell it. It would have been much more interesting if Bent had been appointed to write his own sketch, for who, except himself, has any appreciation of his real value. Any bright afternoon you may see'the subject of this article walking on Broadway or Third Street. If you don't see him you will surely hear him,or if you happen to be approaching him you will know it by the rapid rise in temperature. Bentley's schedule is made out as ' 1 l follows: -Afternoons, The Beltg 7:30 to 11 P. M., calling on his numerous :uy f ' ' P. M. 4 A. M.-but we won't expose him. Bent is the one bone of riends, 11 to contention among the girls of town, and much jealousy and bitterness has been engend to say that when he leaves Troy he intends to release his corner on feminine hearts and the market in that commodity will go down with a crash, causing a corresponding rise in the price of funeral equipments. Investors will do well to buy cemetery lots and hold them until his departure, for places for broken-hearted girls will be at a premium about that time. Ol hat he doubtless has told many ered on his account. We are sorry Emvmien li'iucv1.lNf: iil,.XCK, R, S. E., Huntington, Pa.

The first thing he knew was that his son was President ofthe Y. M. C. A. Now as to Black. Well, here is a subject not so sombre as the name might imply. When Black put on his happy smiles and came to Troy he found the place too small, so he to the country would hie himself to study nature. Among the things he has learned in Troy is the study of human nature. The course at the 'Tute is but a side issue with him. Only serious problems received his careful attention, such as walking on the hands, left-hand letter writing, charcoal sketches, memorizing of poetry, boxing, etc. Of late, however, he has become wonderfully interested in tele- phones. No one knows why. Black did behave himself very well until that fateful visit to Connecticut during his freshman year. He has not yet fully recovered from the eiects. The memory of it pains him yet. Did you ever hear a loud noise as you were passing the Ranken House, something that went like this, bang, bang, bang. Don't be alarmed, it was only Black descending three flights of stairs in his usual manner. His one equal in that is Townsend. VV.xI,'ric1i Liao il1,.xckir.xI,r,, Troy, N. Y.

He's a good natured, poor devil, in hard luck. Black is an astronomer of no mean ability, having seen three eclipses every week. and which had the remarkable duration of one hour and fifteen minutes, while the course in astronomy lasted. He has seen eclipses frequently in other classes. but they were of shorter duration. He is a much honored man, holding the offices of ex-President of the Knocker Club. Chief Argue in the Know-All Association .and Grand High Knight of the Independent Workers. Walter talks a great deal, but doesn't say much. Everybody knows what an awhcl enemy to the Laureates he is We have received information that John G. 's cure for the blues is Blackhall and a proposition in geometry. Since it is his wish that the historian be good to him I will call it a draw, with the above compliments. I 38 iconuiu-3 jmiics .l.lu.xnr,i-:v, R. S. li., Albany, N. Y. Born at Albany, N. Y., August 8, 1874, entered Institute September, 1900. WE, '04, feel proud to have among us a professional man and teacher, who had a little spare time and thought that he would liketo take a course at the Tute Bradley is a busy man and one of those fellows who can study about as easily asmost of us can read a magazine article. His lessons are learned on the way to and from the Tute. When he entered our class he lived in Albany, but tiring of city life, moved to a sub- urban residence near Delmar, where he soon became one of the leading citizens of the town. Besides being an accomplished chemist, he is somewhat of an agriculturalist and poultry raiser. By Calculus, he can tell how many potatoes per acre on his farm, and chickens,-he knows them all, and can tell a chicken's age by its teeth. Whether they be broiled, baked or stewed he can tellyou their pedigree. You will always find him at home evenings because he is a married man. We all like him for his good nature and genial disposition. Rl,IC'I'tlN li. llizmvx, HS, Elizabeth. N. DI. Born June 16, 1882: prepared at St. Paul's School, Concord. N.

Carleton French Brown in physical appearance shows a marked characteristic. He is tall and thin, quite thin, and appears in the distance like a capital I. Ther is one thing that troubles Carleton, and that is the name Brown. Brown is so very commonplace. If he were only a girl he might get the chance to have it changed. We are sorry to have so little to say about so important a gent. but he got wise, went around tothe printing otiice and deliberately etfaced that part of his history which told a little tale about one who may some day change her nameto Brown. We would like to wind up by saying that Brown says he is studying real hard. He told us to add this so that the folks at ho ne would not think that he was loafing. 39 Ixul-is bl. llimlcllt, gl lx' li, B A B, New York City.

Jimmy had not been in the Institute two days before he had made known his vast mathematical knowledge by informing Prof. McGiffert that he had been over to equa- tions of the thirteenth degree. That was his first attempt at blufiing, and he became so frightened when it was called that he lost his nerve,'and until this year has never dared answer'a question unless he had the book's statement in his pocket to back him up. However, he is gradually overcoming this and will occasionally try to blufl' even the Director by starting off on some long winded explanation ffor .Timmy always is fluent when he knows nothing about the subject he is discussingl. His one proud achievement is his ability to draw. His detailed drawings to. illustrate descriptive problems caused a broad smile to illuminate even Thompy s face. You may judge for yourself how the class appreciated them when the artist never so much as attempted to explain his figures. When it comes to an argument this young man is a master hand. He firmly believes that any fool can argue when he has facts to back him up, but that it takes a genius to make something out of nothing. xrvx M.xxoN Clhxmcl-3, Hampton, Conn.

I know more than all the professors put together. , When Clark came to Troy he was very shy and modest Except for his mustache he attracted little attention until he began, with the skill of a district attorney, to ask questions in class. - This accomplishment has furnished us considerable amuse- ment, as well as tried our patience, when dinner time was near, but we forgive him because of. what we may have learned and consider him a worthy member of our class. He is a wonder, and you can tell that he is a genius by his writing, which resembles Napoleon's. In giving fatherly advice Elwyn is proficient, and also in taking afond interest.in the affuaires-du-coeur of his friends he finds much amusement. At Westport, the first day, he was mistaken for a prof., but under the atmosphere of that town soon' became so undignified that once he nearly upset the transit in his haste to survey fnot Westport, Oh! noi some girls who tried to flirt with him. Since then he has taken a 'great interest in society and has tried to captivate several feminine hearts- by his affable manner. If you don't believe this ask him, and he will convince you by one of his fluent arguments. He is courting fame, and some day we expect to hear of. him as president of Vassar College. 40 I ,mn AlON'l'G0lXllfRY COl'l'il.ANll, Brooklyn, N. Y. Born 1876, in Brooklyn, N.

It has always been the cherished hope of 1904 that there would be at least one of its members who would not succumb to the captivating influence of woman, lovely woman. At first everything seemed to point to Burgis as being that one. We used to think that he wouldn't look at a girl, especially a Troy girl, but as the poet says, The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang aglee, and one evening after being out until nearly a quarter after nine our Burgis came home with a long gray hair on the sleeve of his coat. Fisher had fallen by the wayside long before, and Ferebee had been seen to shyly tip his hat to a young lady on Broadway. The contest was over and woman's victory over 1904 was complete.

Oh, I am so blasef' Many strange and divers persons have been brought into Troy by the Hlocalf' But probably one of the strangest was Schuyler, a descendant of all the families to whom the glory of this country is due. For windiness of discourse on pedigree he is unsurpassed, and he is often greatly peered that others can take so little interest in what he has to say. He came to Troy an innocent young boy, but now we are led to say, Alas, what will he be when he graduates? ' His sporting blood is of the reddest, and it is stated on good authority that he once smelled of a cocktail, and wagered a shilling on a horse raceg also that he knows of a certain market in New York town which does not sell horse feed. We are glad that we have the opportunity of showing this picture here, for we had a straight tip that Schuyler was very thick with the Sophs, and was considering strongly their offer to join that most illus- trious f?j class. 42 , ,N .I.xMi':s Rl'r'1'i-:Ni1o1's1-3 EVANS, .1 K E, Pottstown, Pa. f gf- Born June 26, 1882, at Pottstown, Pa.: prepared at Hill School, Pottstown, Pa.: entered Institute September, 1900: vice-president class, first term, junior year. . All's well that ends well. Yes, Jimmie came to Troy about as innocent as a little boy of his years, just getting away from the smoke of the parental chimney, could be. He has learned many things, though, in three years, and much of the green has worn ott. He has been quite an apt pupil along many lines, especially in the art of love making, and is agreat friend of the girls. He has had notes,' of all kinds and colors, but his favorite seems to ,be blue, This seems to puzzle us, because his favorite color is red, We don't all understand Jimmie-- Kid, we sometimes call him-when will you leave the girls alone? Jim works quite hard af limes, and puts most of his valuable time in at the lab, where he expects to take Professor Mason's position in the near future. When Jimmie gets mixed up with his spy glass and typewriting machine he is a tearer and all sorts of things fly. His favorite pastimes are moonlight strolls and the Stan Jimmie believes in taking things easy and expects to get through inside of three years to come.

There sat the 'old lady,' embroidering a pair of socks, using the cross under stitch. When we first saw him we knew full well that heaven was Allen's home and that he was a stranger here below. So young and fair, accompanied by his angelic face, J he mingled among us as one who was sent to save, and his exclamations of Oh, I goodness, and My gracious fell upon our ears as the tinkling of silver bells. We are all familiar with the story of how the good spirit was spoiled by the bad one, and , it grieves us beyond measure to say that this was Allen's fate. As we look upon him to-day we see in place of the man child a real bad boy. No longer do we hear his Oh, gracious, etc., but instead the airvibrates from the shocking noises which escape his determined shaped mouth. But above all the old lady has turned out to be a bum joker, and when in his presence conversation is made very difiicult on account of his everlasting fun making. Not because we are kept in a constant roar of laughter- far from it-but there is a limit to all things and the old lady has passed the limit. Q . Allen's manly brow brings him great rewards in the line of prizes, as it is sure to x 1-Li N ' attract and win out all girls who earn their living by the sweat of their brow. Con- sequently he has been declared a sure winner by all of his rivals. in fact he has been nicknamed the Old Lady, for the very reason that he is a kind of a mother to all of his girl friends who really need one. 43 l I KARL F1c1u:UsoN, X 0, Louisville, Ky. , Born at Louisville, Ky.: Quarterback Varsity Football Team Freshman Soph l - omore and Junior years: entered September, 1900. wus G.x'r1is lilsiiliie, K.

The ladies' man of the class of '04 and the Butterfly of the skating rink.

And the thought of speaking to one of them, other than his sister, made his hair turn gray, in spots. first year was very quietly spent in work, but one day in the early winter of his second term he went skating and since that time he has rivaled those of the class who till then were the most favored by the gentler sex, it being a common expression now among those who go skating, Mr. Fisher puts on my skates? To tell the tales of this young Hhaberdasherl' we would need a new book. However we will add to these short lines, that it is not customary for a fellow to goto a basket ball game without knowing the score, but this is really the case with Lew. We have often wondered what attracted his attention that memorable evening. 44 We call him Lady because, as the girls say, ' He is the cutest little fellow that ever struck Troy. We wish to state however that the name 'Ladyw did not come to him from any feminine traits, far from it, for whatever happens 'tLady ' is always in it, no matter what the game.

However, his energy is mostly potential, not actual. As Edward, accompanied by his papa and mamma, glided gracefully into the large lecture room where the class of 1904 first met in September, 1900, all eyes were turned instinctively toward him, for in him we thought we beheld a real devil. But alas, we were sadly mistaken, for as soon as he had become acquainted with Troy and a few of her beautiful C. IPS and 'K. M's he settled down to make a detailed study of nature and star gazing. Accord- ing to one of the local publications he was so thorough in his chosen work that he -confined his researches for a whole year to one locality-namely, Beman Park. Finally this great master mind f?l grew tired of sketching and began to devote his time 'to Polite Society. In a short time Ed, discovered that even this was too broad a subject for him and so reduced the range of his studying to one lovely UP. S. and now this is his one great vocation. Ed. is so persevering along this line that he allows himself very little leisure. What little he does have he spends in various places, one of which, and without doubt his favorite, is the chemical laboratory. But like all other great men, Howard Edward Harper would not on any account sacrifice his calling for mere pleasure. There are a few other professions, however, which Howard might take up -at any time, such as that of paymaster in the navy, fireman on a freight engine, moulder, blacksmith, cabin boy on .an ocean liner, or best of all, that of chief sampler for IV.

And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. Willie started life right, having been born in a Christian country. Sad to say, since his birth he has been slowly degenerating until now he is obliged to acknowl- edge that he hails from the wild and wooly West. However, Willie is not so fierce and untamable as one might imagine. He is the originator of the smile that won't accordance with the phases of the moon, as one might suppose, but directly as the square of his possession of this worldis wealth and his proximity to one of Breese's beafsteaks. While this smile never disappears entirely it approaches zero as a limit, when he enters the sacred presence of S, Windy Warren. When Willie tlunks he brings out his private vocabulary, suggestive of sulphur and red-fire. After giving this vocabulary athorough airing he just simply spits green. Willie is a universa. favorite with the ladies, and it is a mighty poor night for birds when Bill canit, or rather donlt, scare up a date This necessitates late hours, and causes a feeling of weariness in the morning, but as long as his reputation of never passing one up is sustained, Bill doesn't care.

Anywhere in Ohio is good enough for Jimmie. There he lived, loved and learned-away from there he merely exists. Slowly, however, he is being reconciled to Troy and making the best of fate. What Jimmie needs is a kind friend ilady preferredj to teach him that there is more in Troy than the Institute, and more in life than is found in the World Almanac. His greatest pleasure is to corner some friend and repeat a little story that begins, Accordingly, therefore, henceforth, moreover, and, as I was about to say, etc. It may be a sermon-no one can tell-but apparently the topic sentence is contained in the above extract.

When Jenk first came to Troy he began to investigate. and he has been at it ever since. Oneof his more recent discoveries of ascientific nature is that when an electric current is short circuited by means of a pocket knife during one of Dr. Robb's lectures there is likely to be a disturbance in the immediate vicinity. Incidentally let us remark that if anyone had been making a spectroscope analysis of Jenkins' face at the time he would have noticed a superabundance of lines at the red end of the spectrum almost instantaneously with the report, and that the color did not entirely fade away until the end of the lecture. Townsend, thinking that lightning had struck the wires and that his end was near, could be seen muttering pray ers for deliverance and cross- ing himself devoutly, while Jenkins quietly passed the hat to raise funds for a new knife. Among other things Jenk is much interested in the science taught by Professor Doring. He may be seen on almost any Saturday evening at dancing school doing the handsome, while a certain Sophomore looks on with undisguised joy and admira- tion Q71 and wonders when he will be able to take Jenkins' place with the ladies. 4 48 Turkeyg entered Institute September, 1900. ,l1Iovk.xxNl'2ss Kiavokk jokjokmu, Sivas, Turkey Born March, 1875, at Sivas, Turkey: prepared atCentr1l Turkey College Amtab I left my country for my country s good.

At last we have found a perfect man f??l, little Walter Kelly, who hails from the lower regions, or to be more specific, from Ida Hill. Walter is certainly a great boy. His appearance is always the signal for a rough house and general mix-up, He enters upon the scene like a young cyclone and departs after having puffed himself out. Walter las he is called on Sundayj is very prominent in social affairs, being vice- president of the Knockers Club and secretary of the Darktown matrimonial agency, He also has a fine voice, and every time he speaks the bars in the jail windows vibrate in sympathy. His sacred UD concerts are to be appreciated. With a little cultiva- tion he could undoubtedly find use for his voice in the Essex Lunch or on some barren coast on a foggy night. His voice, however, is only secondary compared with his angelic countenance and stately appearance. Kelly is also somewhat of a lady killer and does the belt twice every day.

For a boy brought up in a large city, Bill, when he came to Troy, showed about as much ignorance concerning anything outside the sphere of his native city as a hoosier would to anything not pertaining to a cornfield or a potato patch: and had any one asked him the name of the president of the U. S. he would probably have replied Richard Croker. He was a Freshman then, but three years at the Institute have not onlv increased his mathematical bump, but have also widened his range of view considerably: and when he sees a planet up in the heavens he is no longer sur- prised, for he knows now that it is not an arc lamp suspended from the top of a sky scraper in Broadway. He had however one strong accomplishment during those days -his fascinating ways with theladies, and more than one fair young Trojan tearfully regrets that his thoughts are now monopolized by a daughter of the sunny South.

No man, not a fugitive from Ranger justice of the Lone Star State. My departure from the Diamond Tail Ranch was with the full consent of Alkali Jim and others in authority. The one notch on the handle of my pet Colt is merely an indication of my inherited love for a strict observance of our Blue Laws. In fur- therance of Tex's own remarks let us add that three years of the 'Tute and Troy have tamed the boy wonderfully Qalthough he does occasionally forget himself and fire a few shots or thr ,w a knife at the doors of his apartmentsl. But most of the time his spurs, gun and saddle are gray with dust. The one tie that binds is his rope, and with what dexterity he uses it is very evident from his popularity with the fair sex. He is generally very dignified, but on several occasions has become so devilish as to hold a young lady's hand and even to permit her to rest her head on his spacious shoulders. His conquests here have been pursued with the same determination, neces- sarily assisted by the use of Force, as were those of his brave fellow countrymen in the times of Crockett and Travis. ll ll llicxnv l',.'xli'l'lll':SlUS, FVNE, Troy, N.

It is said that while in the High School he was an active member of the Web- sterian Literary and Debating Society. When once launched into discussion, if he thought his stand had the right on its side there was no shutting him off until he was listened to. His opponents could not budge him. Not infrequently, too, did he get into an argument with the principal of the school and that gentleman soon learned to despair of gaining anything by arguments and he simply ruled by word of authority. One incident of his life, perhaps not known to himself, happened at Westport in the fall of 1902, during the Junior survey. A member of the party boarding at Fuller's was talking with one of the waitresses and in the course of the conve.lsation she said: O, say, do tell us who that awfully bashful fellow is who sits at the end of the table in the corner? Phil Parthesiusf' Nell, do you know I never saw such a bashful boy in all my life. Why, he blushes all over if one of us girls looks at him.

You would not ask that question if you had ever seen him tackle a plate of sauerkraut and dogs. Hugo has always been dreadfully popular you know. This is a fact of which we are so often reminded that it has caused no little jealousy. The reason of this popularity is still a mystery to us. Runt knows he is popular, but he thinks it is due to his good looks. We would rather give his shape the credit. Anna is ambitious. Her objects in life are two in number. First to become a papa, and second to graduate from the Tute. The first object will doubtless be accomplished and we hope to see him t belong to the Cascaret club. They work only while you sleep.

Before entering the Tute Polanco studied at Notre Dame College, Indiana, which probably accounts for his hair and knowledge ol' his Indiana English, which he frequently alternates with French to make it more expressive. and this expression is sometimes awful. He also studied in Germany, where he resided many years. This he proved true at the Calculus Cremation. He is known by many of his friends by the name of Gentil,,' and he would ,g'laa'Lv tell you where he acquired it. Looking over his pictures to choose one for the Transit he had great difiiculty in deciding. as not long ago he had a lovely black mustache which turned to red, much to his sorrow, and he cannot help asking the Almighty when he glances at this picture in a sorrowful tone, Why, this change has taken place. But this color not meeting the approbation of his lady friends he decided to cut it oft. This picture tells more about Polanco than any sketch ever could. 55 I'lllIR W.xI.r..xc7ic l,R.X'I ll, R.

As with other fellows. so with George: Westport played an important part in his life. When he entered the town he thought he would find plenty of the amber iiuid, but he found none: then he swore off and he hasn't been happy since. Whenever you see George you see him in action. If he isn't yawning he is either sleeping or rubbing his eyes, trying to keep awake. lt is strange what makes him so tired, for he surely gets work enough. For the benefit of George we would like to say to his numerous acquaintances that he is married and is not a henpecked husband He says, also, That he wants nobody's sympathy.

The constancy with which he attended the performance in the Streets of Cairo at the recent fair, and the attention which he always gave Labelle Rosa and her dance led her to make inquires concerning him.

No doubt you have all read about Reggie and his college chums and his many adventures with the Heavenly Twins, on the funny page of the New York American- Journal, he being such a popular young man these papers have the widest circulation of any and are purchased for the sole purpose of gazing upon his smiling countenance, As I have said before, he is very popular and known throughout the world. Why he turned from the paths of virtue is a question which can only be solved by him. He started out to fit himself for the Baptist clergy, accompanied by Richard Croker Childs, at Colgate Academy. But somehow the pace set was too fast for him and he sought refuge in the engineering profession at the Institute. He is quite industrious. but will never be troubled with brain fever, About 5.01 in the afternoon one may see him with all the privileges of a fire engine, fourteen books under his arm and coat tails flying, tearing up Broadway trying to catch the 5 00 o'clock train, which is to take him to his paternal residence. He has had many hard tussels with cupid, and although he has lost every battle you can sometimes hear him say, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Johnnie is of Pennsylvania Dutch origin andis a typical rawboned Westerner. He tells us that Pittsburg is a great place. We at first wondered if he really thought so himself, but we are now convinced that he does. This is an admirable quality, that he should think that the best of every- thing comes from his native town, but it is sometimes quite distressing to his listeners. He played the part of a civilized man very well until one day he showed himself in his true part by blowing out a gas lamp. Being a strong advocate of anti-saloon laws there is but one hypothesis left to us, that he does not know any better. To hear one of Johnme's speeches at a Union meeting one wonders after looking at him what it is that makes him so attractive to some of the gentler sex. He has been known to talk for a whole hour and say nothing. The writer follows suit and fears he is writing too much about nothing and saying nothing. ' ss ff 1 GUs'1'.xvo AIDOLPIIO Rom, B.fl., H.

To fully tell all we know about Roig would till half of this book. When he was a Freshman he wore his straw hat to school one snowy day, to the amusement of the whole 'Tuteg and when asked why he did so he said he thought the snow would spoil his derby: he slipped on the ice one day and fell from the top to the bottom of the Institute steps and then wanted to know why a man slipped on ice. He treasures greatly a misplaced eyebrow on his upper lip, but when he heard of Tuthill's fate at the hands of 'Giggling Guy and others he very reluctantly parted with it. He is a great admirer of feminine grace and beauty: even at Westport he was almost broken- hearted because some other fellows spoke to a girl he knew, and there weren't half a dozen girls to be found in rhe whole town. If you ever see Roig wandering around the streets about 11.30 P. M. with a downcast, dejected look, seeming as if on suicide bent, don't distrust him.

Perhaps some of his most prominent qualifications are those of politics, business and the art of love. If you have a spare hour some day just get Sam talking politics, and if you're not a strong-minded man he will not fail to make you see things as he does. Sam always manages to get into an otiice where there's money. He has been treasurer of the class and now he's business manager of the Transit. Oh! he's a business man, every inch of him. Why! even when he was imported to this country his folks didn't have to pay any duty on him. Sometimes, to while away the time, Sammy likes to tell an anecdote or two. At this he is very clever. In the last story telling contest, however. fwhich was held at a Sunday School camp meetingl, he was knocked out by Ike Matlaw and Roig, the all-around story tellers. Probably Sam's greatest accomplishment is the singing, word for word, of the popular songs of the day. 5 9 ' Glow I Vi xr: S XI ll I-I NE Mechanicville, N. Y. Grokmf: ANDREW SALLANS, Greenwich, N. Y.

C2When George lirst landed in the city of Troy he was as green as Greenwich grass. He looked so noble and ministerial that every time one looked at him he would think of a church. His morals were above reproach, and in fact he was such an estimable young man that we all thought he had mistaken his calling. These thoughts, how- ever, we soon dispelled, for when Rip began to associate with Murray and Steen- burgh he soon succumbed to their evil inliuences. George is avery bashful young man, and it is really amusing to see the colors his face assumes when you speak of agirl, or when Prof. asks a sticker question. He goes to church regularly, however, and were it not for this good trait falthough we suspect what he goes fori heaven only knows what he would come to.

No one ever accused George of being a good boy, even during his first few days at the Tute: but ever since it became known that he was a Mechanicvillian it has been considered both unkind and impolite when in his presence to allude, however remotely, to anything that isn't bad or worse. His vocation consists in catching the 5 o'clock train out of Troy, for reasons best known to anyone who happens to be at the station at that hour. However, apart from the above mentioned characteristic, that which causes George to stand out in solitary grandeur above all Tute men is his vocal ability. What a hearty smile is his! Fish peddlers would pine away and die and Niagara Falls dry up if they could hear George after someone had cracked a silly joke. How manydemure business college maids and other maids that frequent the D. Sz H. or wave to his train as it glides by have not been deceived by that smile! 60 1 I RAPHAIQL G. SANc111':z, B.

He is known as the pill, although if you mention the fact to him he will start in and tell you how he didn't study his quiz the night before and then he will go up and make a pat rush. He certainly is all that is embodied in the word pill. He also seems to like the young ladies, as was seen on one Sunday at Westport. He became acquainted with a little farmer girl by the name of Florence, and if he had stayed there much longer he would have lost his heart. There is only one trouble with Harry and that is, whenever there is a hop to be held he has cold feet and says that he hasn't any girl to take, but that he will go when his girl comes home.

This question caused much earnest discussion among the members of his family and his father, after think- ing the matter over, decided that Earl was too innocent for such a nerve-racking business.

Perhaps it is due to the evolution theory, or to a freak of nature, but irrespective of what may be its cause, the spirit of Newton still walks the earth and in the person of Tenney. To us he is known as Shorty,', because of his huge frame, the pieces of which have not yet all been collected and put together, but as the process of crystalli- zation is still going on he claims that within a few years he will assume his intended great dimensions. Shorty is a firm believer in Tenney and strives to impress on everyone the importance of allthe principles advocated by that great man. Few of you perhaps have ever seen him in his dress suit, but nevertheless he has one, and whenever it is improper to appear in it on' the street he attires himself neatly in it and takes a short walk in the back yard. The tie you will notice accompanying the outfit is used merely as a means of keeping the different members of his body together, for upon taking' it off he generally falls apart. Analagous to his dress suit is his elegant method of walking, especially upon such occasions as Halloween Night, when a mixture of sweet cider and blue label caused him to play tag with himself and incidentally lean up against an officer instead of a lamp post. For proof ask those who stood across the street. He has been a constant annoyance to the Transit board because he was so anxious to see-himself in print that he would inquire every day, Has the Transit gone to press yet? 64 FRANK TIIORNE ToxvNsEND,, Gowanda, N.

A When the big wind came from the West we received Frankie Thorne, and therein was a most interesting subject. In Freshman year he would lock himself in his room and chant hymns. Between the lines he would play a few sketches on the mouth organ. With careful guidance of Turner and Whitmore he is not only a pill, but also an all around red hot sport. After supper each evening he takes pills so as to keep awake. Then when tired he takes a different kind. some to make him go to sleep. He don't take any to make him wake early, but winds the alarm clock, hangs it by a string to his bed post and-good bye. When the alarm goes off it rattles the clock, breaks the cord, clock falls down, hits and then wakes our wonder. He is the cham- pion worrier, and the writer believes he holds at present the record for the long dis- tance worry in the 'Tute. IN 1'. 'l'ukNlQk, R. ,SI lf., H N E, Ainstcrdam, N. Y.

A speaker warranted to draw a crowd in a desert. Jack, also known as Speck, hails from a place which they say is on the main line of the Central, but all you can see when going through there is a bridge. Th is bridge is probably the Mecca of all lovers of Amsterdam, and this Uspecimen' is no novice at that art. Without doubt it is the recollection of episodes on this bridge that makes him such a lover and murmurer of 1 stood on the bridge, etc. Jack is quite a society man, but only made a strong break last fall. When a Freshman he was too green and occupied himself in learning the ways of others. When he reached his Sophomore year he had to stay home to show a good example to his brother, but now the society mania has broken out and goodness knows where it will lead him. Although he is excellent at jollying he likes to put on a serious countenance to make others think he is a man of brains and ability, but is does not take long for one to see this skin Ofa disguise. We will say, however, that he is agood boy, because he has to go home every Friday, so as to go to church Sunday with papa and mamma. but we are inclined to think there is some other reason up there. Jack makes up for this church going by attending the Star through the week, where you will always find him occupying a front seat and blushing behind his programme. He is a great after dinner speaker and always gives us ourmoney's worth, but In the future from Turner's speaking, oh Lord deliver us. . 65 wl'r'1' S. 'l'i l'iiii,I,, Speonk, L. I., N. Y. Born August 1, 1881, at Speonk, L. I., N. Y,g prepared at Friends' Academy, South Valley, L. I., N, Y. My father raised potatoes and one son: Pm the potatoes.,' Here you see the physiognomy of one who recently became the recipient of the undivided attention of 04's amateur tonsorial artist. It happened in this way. Tut- hill had, for some time past, been cultivating a hirsute appendage of which he was very proud, and which could easily have been mistaken, by anyone except Tuthill himself, for a cross between a saw file and a stubby patch of a last year's oat field. The fates, who had been observant of the beautifying effect of his tash, decided that they should cause one side of it to part company with his lip. 'Midst the strains of Johnny Get Your Hair Cut, the operation was performed in the Gym by the aforesaid tonsorial artist. Notwithstanding the fact that a couple of jackknives and a pair of shears were dulled beyond all hope of resharpening, the affair turned out to be a pleasant one for all who participated, except Tuthill and a few others who aspired to the possession of diminutive mustaches. To make a long story short lyou could write a volume on Tuthill and then not have told one half about himl, he is now seeking an agencywith some company dealing in hair restorers, etc., and he also hopes that some day he will be able to convince Prof. Cary that Down where 'we' live they use cedar railroad ties, all planed and sandpapered to fit the track.', If Tuthill succeeds in these he will probably settle down into his former quiet and peaceful attitude, but never again, while at the Tute,' will he try to improve his beauty by any such rash method as the one he tried and failed in. IN MAY VAN GlCI,pi-ik, .1 K 15, Ramsey, N. J. Born July 29, 1880, at Ramsey, N, J., prepared at Dwight School, New York City: entered Institute February, 1901. Van came to us three years ago. Whether it was premeditated on his part or whether he did it under protest has not yet been decided. In those days he was a thin, lanky sort of a chap, whose chief enjoyment was to get in some secluded spot and then heave scraps of paper in the air and play he was J'. Pierpoint Morgan throwing his money away. Since then he has developed into a magnificent specimen of what wine suppers, high priced cigars and society will lead to. It has been lately rumored that he and Harry Lehr are going into partnership and are to start a school to teach youngladies how to kiss. If this is the case we give our best wishes for its success and have no doubt that if the results are not satisfactory the small sum asked will be cheerfully refunded. It may seem strange on first thought that Van has apparently entered this partnership without any scruples concerning Mr. Lehr, whom he has but lately met, but when you consider that he has several times passed the Vanderbilt's house and that they have undertaken to give Mr. Lehr a boost in this matter, and further' that the queen of Bavaria, whose yacht Van had the pleasure of seeing last summer, has also added her earnest entreaties, the reason for his undertaking this rash scheme is easly understood. Good luck, Van, and when you are teaching her how to sigh and cuddle up close, who just give her one good long one for all of us. - 66 l M1-:u Gl:.xN'r xViIl'l'MORl-I, R. S. li., H N E, Rochester, N.

It would be amusing for one to know of the great change that Troy has Caused in Whit: but it would not do for it to appear in print. Judging from his picture you would not think that he was bashful. However, all things are not told by pictures. For instance, a red hue to a person's hair can not be detected in a picture. The fact that he carried a letter of introduction to a young lady at Westport for two weeks. without the courage to hand it to her is surely enough to prove his bashfulness, 0,16 thing is certain, Whit can play pool and is a shark at cards, to say nothing of his record as a basketball player since he has played on the 'varsity.

I make my money robbing the fellows, by publishing notes At the rear end of the roster comes Worcleii, a decent citizen, who keeps himself so much secluded that we really don't know how disreputable he is, and therefore grant ltim respectable. Charley is an unobtrusive youth. so quiet that we scarcely feel his presence generally. Indeed, at times we might have lost him completely had he not recalled himself to us through his peculiar ways. Of these the one sure and infallible identification lies in his jokes. YVhen Worden would be witty, beware. His humor is no gentle, soporific balm: it is the kind that leads men to crime. And then to expe- rience that awful, convulsive, roaring grin is a dire warning never to provoke his risibilities. He loves to cut hay as well as ice. As a result of a love for the former one of his digits is shorter than it really ought to be. 67 FRANK A. H1iRM.xNS,. .l'.ansi11glJu1'gli, N. Y. Born November 28, 1878, at Cohoes, N. Y.: prepared at Lanslngburgh Academy: entered Institute September, 1900. Frank is a very quiet and unassuming chap, but is very daring and resourceful when occasion demands it, for he has been known to learn a topic between the time the slip was handed to him and the time of reciting. lWhen a book was handy.l Doubt- less this marvelous power might have caused the little curl on his forehead to turn white with rage on account of overwork or may be an uneasy conscience. Frank denies all these accusations and maintains that it was caused by an overdose of hyperbolic parabolas and other warped things incurred during the course in descript- ive. .He is noted among his classmates for the funny jokes he springs, also for his - enthusiasm in social events.

' 'llhe animal cane-rush was helrl on Satui ' f ' F cle hr'1ve enouffh to meet our 38 men, who ' 'clav, the 2.ith of September, on the oltl State League grounds. Only 4Q men o 0 1 w . , turnecl out to take part in the rush. 'l'his rush was conrlucterl as usual. with the excep- tion, that the contesting classes were not alloweml to fall on the gronnrl, hut were compellecl to he on their feet.

Undoubtedly the reason why the Fresh- men were successful in winning this rush was because many of our men, noted for their big heartedness, took more interest in helping some Freshmen. who had become extremely short of clothing during the first part of the contest. than they did in the rush itself. .-Xfter the excitement of the cane-rush had subsided, we turned our attention to our studies. settled down to hard work. and patiently awaited for another opportunity to meet the class of '06. And wait we did, for ,I would like to say here, that during the short existence of thc Freshman class, it has made a record for slowness. l think it would be a good idea for them to adopt the ditty entitled l'lease Go VVay and Let Lfs Sleep, for a class song. lt would certainly be appropriate. - .Xt last, Friday, November 8. the long looked for, occurred. 'llhe Freshmen had gathered together courage and ambition enoubh to hold the flag-rush. 'llhey had tied the Ilag to the smoke stack of a tug boat. and were proudly sailing up and down the lludson. lt was up to '05 to get that Hag. At a midnight meeting, held under the Congress Street bridge. we decided to hire a tug-boat. rest until early in the morning, and then attack the Freshmen. XfVhile sailing down the river. we met another tug, which was using a hose, which we thought might be very useful, so we engaged this also. W'hen we met the Freshmen. we immediately began to drench them with water. As soon as they were thoroughly drenched, our boat pulled up alongside theirs, and some of our men boarded their boat and were successful in securing the Hag. 'llhus we won the greatest naval battle ever fought at South Troy. 'llhe loss of this rush naturally dishcartencd the Freshmen, and was the cause of much weary waiting on our side. Wieck after week of good sleighing passed withfmut an indication of a sleigh-rush. At last the notice was posted 'l'hursday. the 19th of February. The Freshmen had carefully laid the plans for this rush, and we were unable to locate their whereabouts, This skillfulness on their part. brightened to some extent an otherwise dark history. lt is safe to say, however. that had we been successful in locating them, the Sophomorcs would have enjoyed the banquet. llefore closing 'l would like to say a word about the mental standing of the class of '05. As everyone knows, there has been a great change made in the curriculum. This change has probably affected our class more than any other. During the first term, we had to take the complete course, both in Calculus and English, along with Surveying and Chemistry. That we were able to do this. has been proven by the mimber of clean cards received by the class, and hence the interest taken in Calculus Cremation, when we laid to rest. forever, that dreaded enemy, Mr. Dilterential lntegral Calculus. 79 Up to the time of writing this history, in the seeoncl term, we have been ahle to hurl enough to do with De- scriptive Geometry anrl Chemistry. Descriptive is a good study for developing the mincl, hut when a fellow wakes up after seeing tangent planes to hyperholie paraholoicls, ete., in his sleep. and before realizing that it is only a dream, it makes him wonder where he was ancl what he was cloing the night hefore. ',l'his eourse in Chem- istry has a moral as well as an erlueational value also. The fumes of sulphur, so common in the lah., makes one think of that place, where men investigate the properties of sulphur throughout eternity. Wfe have only had one week's experience with the subject of Physics, hut can safely say, that we are up against it. 80 fff f x 'W ff . FIRST TERM FRuQD1zRrcrc PIOWARD IXRMICR. . .

On the morning of September 18 we assembled at the be the largest class yet registered at the Institute. After carefully storing the Director, we proceeded to effect a temporary organization. As we were informed by the Juniors that a crowd of Sophs. had gathered at the presumption was too much for '06, who rushed down the steps and easily ' 3 I building and found ourselves to the words of advice offered by about to leave the building, we to dispute our progress. This tered the Sophs. several times. The latter, evidently aware of their own weakness, had stretched a rope a did not help them. The following Saturday less than half of our class assembled at the Hall Grounds for a cane-rush witl X'Ve lost the ball game which preceded the rush, by a score of 9 to l. The cane-rush we won rather easily, the steps, but even this trickery score of I I to 8. At night, headed by a drum corps and the upper-classmen, we started to parade with our main away were steps seat- cross 1 '05, by a Hag. We were attacked on Grand Street by the Sophomores, who made several attempts to obtain possession of our Hag, hut, as might be expected, they were unsuccessful. These diversions over, we settled down to work. Prof. Mason's chemistry lectures probably interested little mo1'e than did some of the other subjects, but we found enough to keep us busy with in Algebra, F1 and Projectioiis. US 21 'ench Ou November 8 we raised our flag on a tug-boat, and carefully guarded it through the chilly night. 'In the morning we were attacked by two tugs bearing the Sophomores, and then followed one of the fiercest battles in the history of the 'Tute. Owing to a superior numbers and tugs, the Sophs. at last gained a foothol the pilot house, and by pulling over the smokestack, obtained possession of the Hag. Contrary to custom, did not parade that night, much to our disappointment. d on they After the Christmas vacation came reviews and exams, and a large number of clean cards was the pleasing result. Vacation week passed quickly and we were soon enjoying CPD the pleasures of I'en Topography, Trig., Colored Topography and Mensuration, the last named being a, -l well. a lovely course. 86 About the middle of February we decided to hold the sleigh rush. Starting in two sleighs, fthe weather being' about Lx below zeroj, we took a pleasant QFD ride through the country and stopped at fPowell's Hotel, where an excellent banquet was enjoyed. Although looking' for us, the only two Sophs., who found us, were promptly captured. The Sophomores have not yet held their banquet, probably thinking, from past experiences, that an account of it would hardly be creditable to them. lt is safe to predict that if they do hold one, the pleasure will not be all theirs. - Now, as our first year draws rapidly to a close, and we review the events which have taken place, we feel that we may well be satislied, and can only hope that our remaining' three years may be as pleasant and profitable as the first, which we have spent at the Institute.

As students, we are more familiar with 'l.'he 'Tutef' but a graduate forgets the days when he was numbered among the students. and applies the more dignified term. 'llhe seventy-ninth year of its existence is nearly drawn to a close, and if our honored father could look over Those years and see therein each year's advancement, well could he say: 1 have eftablifed a good fchool. and many perfons have choofen to follow itf inftructions. As during our years here, we can plainly see where changes for the better have been made in our course, so we are led to believe that ever since the existence of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the President and Faculty have always strained their every effort in order to make the college reach, and then retain, the position among other similar colleges, which it today holds. That is, second to none in the country. The past year has seen many changes. NVe have over our electrical department one in whom we have the greatest confidence. One to whom we can look with an assurrance for a still farther step toward advancement. VVith Dr. Robb are his assistants. Mr. Shulte and Mr. Rudd, gentlemen with whom we are not as yet thoroughly acquainted, but we have reason to believe that they are capable of handling electricity from a practical standpoint. Another new name in our register is that of Carl J. Schumann, 'o2. We know him well and have been pleased with the success he has met with as Instructor in Mathematics, and hope he will remain with us for some time to come. V The sentiment of '04 is, as the lnstitute has achieved great things in the past, great things are expected of her in the future. Long may she iiourish and gather about her an ever increasing alumni, who may uphold, by their loyalty. the fair name of their Alma Mater. The New Williams Proudfit Laboratory For the past three years we have watched the changing of the one-time observatory into a modern Mechani- eal and Electrical Laboratory. '1'hrough the untiring efforts of Prof. Robb and his assistants, '04 was treated to an excellent course in practical electricity. VVe all realize with regret what a great misfortune happened on 127 December I7 last, necessitating, in reality, a new laboratory. All instruments, which were in any way damaged by tire, will be replaced by apparatus of the new and more modern type. The addition of another story gives room for a lecture hall and additional recitation rooms. The battery room, and also the work shop, will be in the basement. The first tloor will be used for cement testing. direct and alternating current machines, and the east room on this floor will be used as a mechanical laboratory. The second floor will be Htted for all kinds of electrical experiments. On the third tloor, in addition to the lecture hall and recitation rooms, Prof. Robb will have a private experimenting room, as well as an office. As a whole, we feel confident in stating that when the Lab. is again opened for work, the students and out- side world will see connected with the Rensselaer I'olytechnic institute, a laboratory, which can be classed with none Init the best in the country. i Chemical Laboratory ' lt is with pleasure that we note the recovery to health and activity of NVinslow Laborato1'y. For the past few months this member of the 'Tute Family has been convalescing from a severe and sudden attack of internal combustion. X'Ve are glad to state that all who have seen the Lab, have 1'emarked upon its improved condition. In fact. the late misfortune has without doubt, resulted in a great benefit, both to its interior appearance and general convenience. VVith the exception of the new addition, made last summer, which was not damaged by tire. every tloor has been wonderfully changed and improved. The removal of the brick partition, the lowering and the concreting of the tloor, the addition of new mutlle furnaces, and the coat of light paint in the basement have met with universal approval by those taking the course in Assaying. On the first tloor desks for the course in Qualitatives have been provided for nearly ninety men. These desks are of the best. Each is provided with glass tops, porcelain sinks, glass shelves, gas, water, etc. New hoods and electrically operated exhausters, are also to be added. The second tloor has also been much altered to advantage. The seating capacity has been greatly increased. A recitation and library room have been added. Hut these are only a few of the many changes that have taken place. 128 lt is a fact that one, not having visited the Lab, lately, would scarcely recognize the general interior as that of the same building a year or two ago.. Dr. Mason is deserving of praise for his efforts to make the New Lab. strictly up-to-date. The Polytechnic lfach year it becomes the T1'an.w't lloard's duty, pleasant or otherwise, to present a criticism of the Poly- nd our criticism tends to take tl1e form rather of commendation than condemnation. During the past year the l'oly. editors have encountered a considerable number of difficulties, not always apparent to the uninitiated, but none the less real. ln spite of these, however, lcchnic. This year the task becomes, indeed, a pleasant one, a the publication has been, at all times, most satisfactory. The policy of the lloard seems to be to present a paper, which shall be in every respect appropriate to an engineering school, interesting to students and graduates as well. We also note two good changes in the arrangement of the subject matter: a column has been devoted to notes of general interest in the engineering line, and the athletic notes have been placed under the charge of an ath- letic editor and given a special column. Football t ol xtiy hi ill 'X slight improvement was shown in last In the football world the lnstitute has never s o 1 f -f g . -Y . ,G year's team, and although we cannot glory in a string of victories. we may perhaps console ourselves by the fact that we were not beaten so badly as heretofore. Most of the students, and we think the faculty, talthough it docs good to drum the latter now and thenl, are perhaps tired of being continually nagged by the constant com- ' l t is do not get the support that they should. The stu- plaint of lack of support. but it is a fact that tie can .' ,, dents, as a rule, are too indilferent in regards to athletics. If they would, at least, get out and play scrub, and not be sottight about digging up a few bones, we could have a fair team at the llute. The management deserves credit and the players also. Our opponents last season, with one or two exceptions. were at least in our class. If this is followed by next year's management. we can hope for some success on the gridiron. 'l'here's no use being sore over past defeats, and the not over pleasant history of our football team. lJon't cry over spilt milk. Get out and help the team, if not by actual participation, at least. by attendance at the games, and a bone or two. 120 Basketball At the opening of tl1e basketball season of lQO2-3, the .Institute had a very good team, notwithstanding the fact that some of our best players were among the graduates last june. The first game to be played was with the WVashington Continentals, the fastest team in this vicinity. The 'Varsity team made an excellent showing, considering the fact that it was the first time the men had played together. The next game was with Union. This resulted in an overwhelming defeat of that team. After that came the game with Williams, in which we were beaten. The following game being a home game, resulted in the defeat of Hamilton by a large score. The team then took a long trip to Syracuse, where it had to play a rough and tumble game with St. Johns, which resulted in a defeat for the 'Varsity. The team then went to Hamilton and defeated that team for the second time. The next home game, and the last game of the season, was with Syracuse, and resulted in a victory for the 'Varsity, by a small margin. Although there were only seven games played, there were more games arranged with Cornell, Pratt 'Insti- tute and Columbia, which had to be cancelled, partly because the management were unable to obtain the Armory, and partly because the team 'was not properly supported, when it played in the Gymnasium. Hockey hfllftllltflllll, Tfglillll, jubcs rcuotfurc d0lm'c111. The above seems to be singularly appropriate to the subject. Tenable indeed, are the griefs, which the members of the hockey team have to relate. Poor games, a bad schedule, and inclement weather, have all added their iota to an unsatisfactory season. lint before hastily condemning, let us examine into the condi- tions a little mo1'e carefully. There is perhaps, no other team' in the Institute, which has had so many obstacles to overcome, as has had this one. Hockey is a comparatively recent game in this country, and so far, very few colleges have taken it up, thus making it a very difficult matter to arrange a good schedule, while the early evenings and long distance to travel renders the time for practice very short. Then, too, practicing without a scrub is unsatisfactory, and last. but not the least discouraging, is lack of interest in the team, evidenced by the conspicuous absence of R. l'. l. men at the games. These various difficulties, the team has endeavored to over- come, and, it must be confessed, with but little success. Let us hope that next season will present a little better showing than the past. 130 Baseball Since last season the game of baseball, as played and managed at R. I'. I., has enlarged and spread-out to a considerable extent. During' previous years there has either been no team at all or one that was not at all prominent in the college world. A new plan has been adopted by the management, which is as follows: A college game has been arranged for every Saturday during' the season, some to be played in 'llroy and some elsewhere. Un the dates when the nine plays out of town. an inter-class game is played in Troy, and so not a week passes that we are not able to attend an IQ. I'. I. baseball game, without leaving' the city. These class teams are managed by directors chosen from each class, and are all under the supervision of the manager of the nine. The ex- penses of all teams are met from one treasury, to which each student should add his part, according' as he is able. Under this plan things have gone on Iinely. and allho' our team has met with defeat at times, still it is not from lack of ability on the part of players or management, but can be traced back to the same old trouble of lack of a place to practice, our long hours, and non-support. Ily persistent efforts and hard work. by all, there is no reason why Il. Il. I. cannot be recognized as a base- ball playing college, as well as a world-famous engineering college. 1, , ,...4,,,y - , , 311, 131 H'-I V.

Sherrercl ln another portion of this hook there willbhe foimrl a memorial page to Charles W'acle Slierrertl, of the Senior class. from Scranton, Pennsylvania, who was clrownerl in the lluclson River rluring the afternoon of May tenth. The entire stuclent holly and the faculty mourn very cleeply the sacl encling of this young man's life. XVhen a stuclent has worltetl tliligently and with fervor for almost Your years, aml is on the verge of securing' his tliploma from a worlcl-famecl school, and is then sucltlenly taken away. we are lecl to woncler in a humhle way, at the strange workings ol' the divine provirlence. lt is a szul hlowl to the immecliate 'family of such a son anrl brother. who has hecn away for several years, if he is stricken flown in the morn of life: to see him only for short times :luring vacations, anfl then not even hefore his fleath. Xf'Ve can feel heartfelt sympathy of the most sincere kind for such a family. 132 Our Advertisers Now and again the question must arise in the minds of some of our local tradespeople- Does it pay to advertise in the R. l'. .l. publications P Tl1is has been brought very forcibly to ou1' attention by the remarks made by dealers when asked to advertise in the Transit.,' They question the advantages derived by so doing, say the 'fellows do not patronize them, and make numerous other comments, which make the canvasser feel badly. Our colleg'e publications tend to keep going what little college spirit there is, give the important or in- teresting' events of the month or year, and try to relieve somewhat the monotony of the daily grind. All stu' dents a1'e, to a greater o1' less extent, interested in the publications. and the interest varies di1'ectly as the size and general excellence of the issue. The main support of any paper is its advertisers, and the 1no1'e advertisers it has the better it will be, as a rule. Now it is a logical conclusion that if a man sees his 2lClVCl'tiSl11g' fails to secu1'e trade, he is going to give up that Z1ClVC1'l1lSll'lg, which means a distinct loss to the pape1', and, if funds a1'e sca1'ce, a corresponding drop in quality of the book. The 1'emedy is as simple as it is obvious-patronize the advertisers . Do not give your t1'ade to a man who is mean enough to refuse to help out your paper, while he gets your money. Ten chances to one he will not treat you as well as the man who makes a specialty of institute trade. l,et the 'fellows show their appreciation of the work done by the editors, by patronizing the advertisers. Unjust Censure The morning after our Mechanical l,aboratory was destroyed, various cheap newspapers contained a para- graph or two, which 1'an something after this fashion: The liens. l'oly. lust. of Troy, Y.. was visited yesterday by a very serious contlagration - - - lt was undoubtedly the work of some malicious students. Now as the press is' very free with its p1'int we could not even say lioo. llut as a matter of fact, we thought it, and should the time ever come we hope we will be able to retm'n compliments of such character. .lt is too bad. we say, that such pape1's are inllicted on the public. The editor of such must have for his uppermost thought that students have no love or respect whatever for the words xllllltl .lftIfl'l'. Some of our own l'rol'.'s went so far as to sav that students did the work. As no one could ever prove rx , it. we are almost assured that these wild remarks were wholly ungrounded and the lransit lioard is only too glad to state it. i 133 Freshmen lt has been remarked with truth that the Freshmene have not lived up to the lnstitute's customs as Fresh- men usually do. The upper classmen seem to forget that they were Freshmen once and were made to respect the then Senior and junior. lt is hardly necessary to recall any of the very memorable tloggings received by certain fresh men when they were new comers. There has been none of that done this year. No one seems to care. lt is the duty of Sophomores to make Freshmen salute the upper-classmen and yet, when did you ever see it done. Maybe '05 has not enough backbone. VVell, brace up students. Sophomores, next year yon will be juniors. Tell the Freshmen to salute, and Freshmen, next year you will be Sophs., and if the Freshmen don't salute upper-classmen, don't forget that 1'I .v up fo you to make them. Now that the Institute has provided for a special course in Electricity, as also of Chemistry, along with the regular C. li. course, some attention must be given to those students. Heretofore specials were never forced to live up to traditions as adopted by the R. P. l. Union: l'm a special, is the familiar expression given. when one of their number is advised to conform with the rules, We are all more or less specials, one as much as another, but inasmuch as the C. E. Course is the olde st, we are to do our part alooi' from the others. Such should not be, as the Constitution of the Union does not say C. E. students. lt says R. l'. l. students. If these men refuse to recognize the Union as their advisory, why do they come to an election when held? We would suggest that a clause be inserted in the Constitution regarding this matter. y Caps for Freshmen ln all colleges, Freshmen occupy a certain place and have certain rules laid down for their benefit. Custom has made several good and bad rules for the government of Freshmen at the Institute. There is another rule, which might be added to the list. That is, that all Freshmen shall procure, within two weeks of the opening day of school in September, and be obliged to wear every day except Sunday, a plain black cap of a style chosen by the Grand Marshal. This rule is enforced in some of our larger institutions of learning. At these schools, however, the Fresh- men wear either a plain black cap with a green button, or a plain green cap. The enforcement of the rule has some good effects. When a student meets another he knows his station at the 'Tute by his head piece. 134 The wearing of a unform cap is advantageous to the Freshmen in their rushes, for it distinguishes them from ' 1 ' . . . bophomores. fl radesmen about town know where their customers are from, and it may assist the lnstiute publications in getting advertisements. Last and not least, is the fact that in being obliged to conform to such a rule. Freshmen would realize that they were Freshmen. Probably one of the most important features connected with an institution of the standing of R. P. I. is a respectable coat room. The only place we have to hang our hats or coats, during some recitations, is on the floor. lt is not an uncommon thing to walk down the steps and see several hats lying on the lawn near a keep olf the grass' 'sign. These hats have been placed upon the window-sill for protection, only to be met with the Troy breeze, which plays havoc with such. One Way indirectly, to keep the students off the lawn, is to put a few hooks in the different recitation rooms, and especially in the Direct0r's room. We note with pleasure that the new Electrical Lab, is going to contain a coat-room, we hope as much for the Chenn- cal Lab H l n in the records as a back slider in the sense of making the Fresh- men toe the mark. Durinu- their course in the Lab they reached the limit when Freshmen were allowed to tw enter and converse with the upper-classmen. .lt is the recollection of many duckings received by passers by, mber that they never saw the inside of the Lab. 'till they entered its portals The Class of '04 is certain to ,go cow which makes some '04 men reme v to take the course in Qualitative. Take a brace, '04, and show Freshmen next year that we are still trying to uphold and also preserve ancient customs. The revised Constitution of the R. l.'. l. Union is worthy of much commendation. The many new features of it are deserving of separate mention, but the space will not allow of it. We will say. however, that of all improvements, the animal dues of tive dollars, which is to be paid with the first tCl'l1l'S tuition, is by far the most important. This matter has been thoroughly cut and dried, for the past few years, and we think that such an amendment will, as it docs away with the inevitable subscription list, be accepted by the students generally. 135 5 Tw Q N WM 0 1 ,' R+ 'MF X Y N54 22 K M1 X P1'c.s'1'ff1'11i, 'IDI 1:vA1N.1s111x1 l1.xN141-ZR, '03 IN Q U1.11'11.1xN'1', '03 ll110wN, '04 R111m1m, '05 M.x11s11, '06 liOO'I'l!.XI,I, I'1'1'z, '04 IelLm11-111111:vs, .04 s The R.

Bascom Lloyd Wilson BA m na L 1 xx fy Senior Survey RAILVVAY to run hetween Elizabethtown in the the .-Xdirondacks and Wfestport-on-Lake Cham- plain, was the work alloted to the Seniors for the annual railroad survey. The members of the class appeared in Troy several days previous to August 24 to get things in readiness for the trip. Most of the party left 'llroy early on the morning of August 24, arriving' at Westport ahout noon. llere the party divided, two sec- tions going to Elizabethtown and the remaining two staying at Wfestport. Westport-what a place! '1'hirtcen houses, two hotels. t FJ several trees, one street, a fair grounds, and l.ake Champlain. 'llhere it is dcscrihed in few words. As for Elizahethtown-well that was an improvement. The lucky hunch that landed there had no fault to find with that Adirondack village, which seemed to improve on acquaintance. Westport never improved, though on extended acquaintance, some advantages over Elizabethtown were discovered. l'rof. Raymond was chief engineer of the survey, with l'rof. Rousseau and M r. john Flynn, .I r., in charge of the XVestport end, and lfrofs. Cary and Schumann in charge of the Elizahethtown terminal. The first after- noon was devoted to a walk over the line, a small matter of eight miles, which was not fully appreciated. The actual work was begun the next morning. Captain Skinny Davis drew the snap section for his men, while llarneygot the worst. 'l'here wasn't much to choose he Ween the sections drawn hy Captains Morgan and XVat- kins. There isn't much to relate ahout the survey itself. The X'Vestport crowd discovering that it . ' of eight miles daily decided to go to the joh in style, so engaged a hay rigging to transport the party to and from work. This daily trip, with its attendant rough houses, -IDeutschhein, Davis and Greenfield heing the chief offenders-furnishedVthe only amusement. I 160 A night in Westport is a nevcr-to--be-forgotten experience. .Xfter supper everyone hied himself to the postoflice. 'llhen came a trip to the steamboat landing to see the rubes and incidentally, see the boat laml. .-X walk past the NVestport lnn. where l'. S. S. was out in force, made some of the fellows sore because their allow- ance did not permit the expenditure of 317.50 per week. 'llhe latter hours of the evening were devoted to penny ante or some equally harmless amusement. llenny ante was profitable for some. if one were to judge by the fashionable turnonts of some of the fellows on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Elizabethtown, with its fashionable inns, afforded the fellows plenty of amusement. 'llherc was dancing every evening, many of the fair ones, though not plenty, and something doing always. Saturday and Sunday was spent in tramps up a neighboring mountain or playing baseball. The Institute nine, captained by jacky Wirth, played the Elizabethtown Champions, and as the umpire had to be played also, the victory went to the hummers from Elizabethtown. 'llhe work of the party was completed after about ten days. All the sections did not leave for 'llroy at once, many of the fellows taking side trips before returning. Several visited .-Xusable Chasm. others went to Plattsburg and neighboring towns. Most of the fellows made the return trip by lake. going to Fort Ti. by boat on Lake Champlain and then crossing over to llaldwin and down through Lake George. Another week's office work at the llute. when the maps were completed and the note books put in order, marked the completion of the survey, which though slow and not a circumstance to the Granville trip, was never- theless enjoyable and profitable. l lii- fi -N A ff 4, wt 'i'f'st'i -- 'K - .

The nature and number of its events are such that it becomes essentially a tale of what was not. Still it would be hardly exact, and ex- ceedingly unkind, to assume that the following narrative is but the fancied memory of incidents, which, in a rem- iniscent mood, an imaginative mind has seen reflected in the beautiful blue waters of the Hudson. The author- ity of this publication and the moral rectitude of the writer forbid any deviation from the hard path of cold facts. And yet. as with many another good man, on a similar job, it may be that perforce there are things, which .. A. he has stretched. 1 --vu ' . ,.. The survey began sometime in the morning of - October 6, in the large drawing room. Here the general theory and the IIIOUYIIS ofwcwzizzdi of the work were expounded by Prof. Cary, who thereupon, showed us the way to the river, dropping us in sections all along the bank, from the lron Works to Lagoon Island. Then 'Pitz got four ratty old scows, and we started. This week's work is somewhat singular among lnstitute courses. It is largely an elective course, the choice being between doing something and doing something else. Thus, on the first day out, of a section of six, two would locate stations and four would criticize. On the second day, two men made the triangulation, and four men made comments. Sometimes two or three of the latter would go off and take a rest or a swim, or would forget to come around at all. Extraneous diversion, the only resource in such a state of affairs was sadly wanting, particularly among the sections below. Here, there was neither orchard nor garden. A field of aromatic cabbage stumps was the only place to raid. Habitation there was none, though there was some population at Lagoon island. Some of the crowd on the lower end might have taken to the-place, but were fearful of the effect upon Townsend. AA few came into intimate acquaintance with the noble Hudson. l'itz threw Holt in, Rankin fell in, and Kelly kicked his transit in. 162 Further up the line things went better. On the second day Prof. Chillman, who says it pains him to sit on a slag bank all day, began to explore the neighboring part of the town. Happening later to find a lonesome lot of weary workers, sighing for the orchards of Westport, he benevolently offered to direct them to some apples. Immediately, they deserted en masse, and soon felt so grateful to Chillman that they confided to the bar- maid, who it was that had led them thither. She knew- the man with the slim leg. Meanwhile. the assiduous toilers left behind found in the river, material wherewith to lubricate the slowly moving wheels of time. lt so happened that section two had inadvertently left their transit box with section one, about the time that a cat appeared upon the water, complacently crossing the Styx to the feline hereafter. The magnanimous souls in section one were touched, the sight of the neglected corpse of an honest tabby, floating there without casket or shroud, seemed most melancholy. ln pity, then, they lifted her out, tenderly and gingerly, and into the box of section two. With this latter profane crew, she traveled through all that day. Only in the evening, and at the station, when they came to pack the instrument, were they aware that their box was already occupied. There, poor defunct pussy was dispossessed:-Hung into a corner and left-without prayers. On the third day nearly everybody came around to see the soundings taken. First Prof.. Cary called for a man, warranted not to sleep, to watch the tide guage. No one was found who could make such a guarantee: Jimmie llurke, however, promised to wake up every half hour or two, and keep count, thereby getting the job. So we gave him a few old journals, marooned him in an inlet somewhere on the Island, and then began the sounding, which was finished early in the afternoon. Thursday morning werepaired to the basin across the river from lelroadway, and floated on an old canal boat for awhile. Six or eight men rated av meter. ln the afternoon we' were in Lansingburgh, behind the VVater Works Station, and sat around on the dock and fences for a time. Four or five men measured the flow of the river. Friday's work was entirely elective. 163 Our Calamities intent was to make it warm foi us We could not withstand then intense heat of love and affection for our two sisters, Chemical and Mechanical Labs. They finally claimed the complete heart both of them. Profs. Mason and Robb, who had been steady callers on these friends, were especially angered, and each tried to put out the visitors by the use of the cold water treatment. VVhen Mason heard of the visitor, he said, Get my valuable papers and documents, so ,l will have them for my breachof promise suit. Then too, he would not surrender such trustworthies to so very unwelcome a visitor. Wlieii Prof. finally arrived, and the roof of his affection, to whom he had lectured so many times, gave way, he said, Well, it's all off. Not so with Prof. Robb. He rushed up the hill, crow bar in hand, and pried away the back stoop. This did no good, so he threw a chunck of salt down the chimney: on its way down it got stuck. so he tore off the pump handle and put it in the kitchen stove. Schulte ran up and pushed over the rain barrel. llut still the devouring' element pursued the even tenor of its Way. Rudd thought he would scare the visitor away. so he ran upstairs dragging' a brace of cats after him. He advised everyone to yell all they could, so as to make the night hideous. Miss l roudlit finally doffed her dome, so as not to retain the hot air of the visitor. Dr. Robb by this time, conveyed the news to Director Ricketts, who he thought should be able to look after his affection for him. Ricketts hustled up and -- like a trooper, but all to no avail. Finally the Profs. ceased their strife, and sent for the Man, who, with his assistants and the combined efforts of the undergraduates, arrested the visitor. Our third fire was one in which Prof. Cary was interested. He too, had spent some time as a steady caller, and not liking' certain things, he kicked, and hence he is looking for new company. HE INSTITUTE-XVe received three very unwelcome visitors this year. Two of them were visitors, whose - 4 ' - it H ' 164 An Ex:Student over in Germany.

For years the R. P. I. students have been over- whelmingly honored by having a corps ahead of their parades. Evidently llart. never knew what we termed the front piece of our procession. But Bart. belongs to the corps in Germany, probably he is playing base drum, carrying the music, or maybe he is first mop in the banquet hall. we don't know, he failed to tell us.

Y 1, Ricketts-Renshaw EIJNESDAY, November l2, is a day and date, which will be recalled with pleasure I by those students fortunate enough to be enrolled on the roster of R. P. I. at that time. It was on this day that Palmer Chamberlain Ricketts, our President and Director, took unto himself, as a bride, Miss Vjera Conine Renshaw of Baltimore, Md. The ceremony was one which brought out Troy's most prominent people, who filled St. johns church to its utmost. Rev. H. R. Freeman performed the ceremony, which made the happy couple man and wife, tying the silken knot at high noon. It is not remarkable that an event of such unusual importance was not allowed to pass by without the student body taking official cognizance of it. In this the Seniors took the initiative. No objection was made to the arrangements as prepared for the wedding, up until that point, when President Ricketts and his bride were about to be driven to the home of Mrs. Ricketts' brother, Alfred H. Renshaw, on Park Place. Here, however, the students intervened. The original plan of driving directly back to the Renshaw residence was modified to the extent that the bridal carriage was driven in between two rows of Seniors. To the inner arm of each Senior, was attached a strand of silk ribbon, either cherry or white. The President of the Class of 1903, seated with the driver, held the other ends of the strands. Slowly, and with dignity, the 'Seniors marched ahead, drawing in state, lfresident and Mrs. Ricketts. The remaining classes fell in line behind the coach. When the Renshaw residence was reached, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rensselaer, was given three times for President Ricketts and three times for Mrs. Ricketts. During this manifestation of the students' enthusiasm, President Ricketts and his bride smiled their approval ,upon them. As a mark of the love and respect of the students for the head of Old Rensselaer, that shown him on his wedding day, did not fail in its purpose. I-le showed his appreciation upon that day and at a latter day, thanked 166 the Seniors in class, for their part in the affair. It was an ohject lesson. as well to the citizens of Troy, many of whom believe that the word students is not synononions with gentleman ln conclusion the Transit takes this opportunity of extending to President and M rs. Ricketts, hearty congrat- ulations, which though late arc, to quote President Ricketts himself. more in orcler as time goes on. 167 vwi sa MMM' M X X S X, e P .

The marriage of Ilrofessor Ifierpont gave the Freshmen an opportunity for hilarity, as well as for making their Professor suitahle gifts. Un the Friday previous to the wedding, which also marked the last day of Institute' work, previous to the holiday vacation, the Freshmen reached the Iireneh room early. In a few min- utes the hlaelchoards were eovered with caricatures, the work of a Freshman, representing' a wedding' proces- sion. Un the I'rofessor's desk was piled a collection of useful articles, including tinware, eloelcs, sugar howls, and other things. I'rof. Pierpont, after addressing' the class and telling' the memhers how happy he felt. dismissed the class for the day. The students left after extending eongratulations and making them more manifest hy a shower of rice. , - The oeeasion showed the good will of the students toward their professor, giving them an opportunity to felieitate with him on his approaching' nuptials. , . ,Q f iz I ' W N :lk - Q Brnmufl' i N ICYICRY tiL'llZll'llllClltOflilt'il1SlitllfL'lilL'I'C lmsliooli ll onntinnotl lioaltliy growtli.

Great was the Cousternation until it was learned that little Eddie had been Born, and would meet all comers, catch-as-catch-Crm or Graeco-Roman, barring none. As soon as Eddie's Noddle was able to withstand a compressive stress, a noted Chiropodist was Called in to' give the Lie eoueerliing his Knobs. After a Carefill Calibration the Happy Owners were informed that Eddie was a Born Politician, who would make his Marla in the world if they would only include Red Pomt among his. Toylets. As Eddie grew towards his Second Childhood, each election day he had to be AllCl10'l'l?ll to a ring in the floor to prevent him from Stuffing the ballot boxes. After Eddie broke his way out of the Cozmtry School' House with Jimmy, it was decided to Apply a Porous Plaster to his Grey Matter and send him to the Tate , where his Talents could Expaml without slopping over. As soon as he got a couple of Half Nelsozis on the Push, he took it into his Bfzm to be the whole Motive Power and Squeeze, all of the Glory jobs and the head of Big N Mogul. But he was up against a Marble hearted bunch, who cared naught for his political Aspirations, and he cQidn't always make Connections, nevertheless, he had thetrue Derfery Spirit in his Dope Ptlfllfllflllllllill. When he Became a Sophomore a Friend in disguise, told him that the R. ll. l. Union needed a strong young man, who could milk goats and make himself generally Useful around a pawnbrokers shop to Hold Down the president's chair. So he wrote a Letter to himself, telling him how Easy it would be. On the day that the Mill was to be pulled off, Eddie had one hand tied behind his back and when more Friends told him he wouldn't go to the Happy Hunting Grounds if he Took the money, he telephoned for a Moving Van to cart the Kopeelss away. After the first round he thought someone had pulled the Foundations from under the house and he was living upstairs over a vacant lot. About this stage of the Game, a fellow, who Slept with the Horse, told Eddie to take his money and Put it at Interest in a Nickel Samngs Banks, so that he could Harte it when he wanted to Get Married. llut Eddie had a Coaster Brake that didn't Back, so he Clainped on his Ear-laps and started in to tear up the Maeadanz on the boulevard with a Forced Draught. When the Final Connt was handed out. his face fell with a Noise like the bucket on a steam dredge when it strikes the water, for Cruel Fate had hit him between the Floating Ribs and the Alley with a Casting. The Rubber Island struck up More Work for the Undertaker, and the liaitlifnl Heelers murmured bury him Deep, where he wont attract the flies, while Eddie bought a crate of Force and Retired to his country Residence in Lansingburgh to Reenperate. llut Eddie was buried Alive, as the Grace Robbers discovered when they E.rl1u1ned him. The next thing in line was Grand Leader of the 'Tute band. His Trainers decided to take no Chances this time and Equipped him with Hopples and Toe-weiglits. He Trofted a beautiful Heat and never Broke once. As soon as he could get away from the .loyous Palms, without tearing his Over-alls, he ran, hatless. to the Alumni building, and as the Librarian laid the Precious Chair-leg in Eddie's trembling hand, he pressed a cooling kiss on his fevered brow, during which Eddie gnrgled like a Ball:-tub, as the last gallon runs out. Eddie and the lfVand were inseparable and whenever Riot or Rush was pulled off the Wand and Ed. were there. After this final victory he was laid up for a week with Dilatation of the Bun. Moral-You are never Dead 'till you are Buried. I l7l SI LCULUS, K ll t x ? 6 XX .

Ilut. while 1 am here, let me say something more Uflthis mighty gentleman, you meet at the door, VVho, oer his glasses, will at you glare. And instinctively warn you to beware. However, let me say. and it will comfort you enough, To know that he.'s past master at the art of bluff, And he teaches all of us his preeept well: That lfVhen you bluff, bluff like h-ll. llut now he's married and settled at home, l'll tell you why this to me is known, lf you have a class in the middle of the day, At twelve he'll let you go, and he'll tear down Broadway Next is Tompy , of whom 'tis said, I-le has a bug on the subject of arrow-heads, Who when he draws circles, Qyou'1l learn about thesej, Startles you by breathing like an air-brake release. And Davy , of whom you'll learn bye and bye, tHe teaches about things that 1'evolve in the skyj, Who evolved the theory, while leaning on liars, Ui why you should kiss, when you see shooting stars. Old llilly l'. , the wise, wise guy, Who tells such puns, as make you sigh. Who, in the water bugs, of which he takes care, Can certainly hand you a bunch of hot-air. You'll also meet llill Raymond, C.

He'll walk around the room, while giving you rousers, Itlis hands shoved deep in the pockets of his trousers.

Upholstering There was a time, not long ago, When upholstering was quite the go, But then, 'twas only used for beds and chairs Which were in very bad need of repairs. llut now, among our modern inventories, It stands, where it receives first mention, Because, it is frequently used most skillfully lily persons, who always consent most wilfully Should joseph or David feel that his shoulders Are not quite broad enough for beholders, 'Tis then to his tailor he goes bolstering, And finds a remedy by upholstering. Now as to the trouble with Jane or with Sarah, Who may feel that her hips are too narrow, She tells her tailor that they must be bigger, And hence, the use of an upholstered figure.

Suppose Suppose you saw the Institute Twelve or thirteen stories high, And you took the elevator to the topg Suppose you stretched out from the edge To see the crowd pass by, When the railing broke away and let you drop.

Suppose you were a Metallurgist, And you worked hard all the time, Making assays of unknown metals every day, Suppose some dynamitic metal happened to he in your lot, .

Suppose you were an engineer, And lots of work on hand, Just to keep you busy, Making money to beat the band: Then you and the firm went up, And flew apart when you came down.

He saw the Subjects that one has ln the course at Rensselaer, He dreamt they were a cinch to him, 'That he would soon be an engineer. He saw the Hunkers passing by And at them he would jeer. And then he thought his dreams were changed, He was a Sophomore. His Freshman subjects be had all passed, His head was filled with lore. He felt that he was quite the thing, He was not like the rest. Analyt and Calculus was a snap, Though he didn't do his best. Of old john G. he had no fear, And on English he could jest. Then again his dream was changed, A junior stepped in view. A load of books was Flying by, They were subjects on review. He felt that he was getting wise, .At his friends he would knock. But when they got back at him, He received an awful shock, He had no hat, no coat, or vest, His things were all in hock. And once again his dream was changed A Senior now at last. At all the Freshmen he would meet, A look of scorn he'd cast. He thought of all the jobs he'd get ln the sweet bye and bye. And the fun that he would have, When he made the Sigma Xi. But someone hit him on the head, And he awoke with a sigh. She Won They made a bet- He thought it thatg she, this: He bet a box of gloves, And she-a kiss. She won. He paid the bet. But why should she Be just as sorry that she won As he? Prof. Cary Air-- Dolly Grey. .

When Father Paid the Bills How very pleasant life was then, How merry went the world, The work was done by other men, And every turn was girl'dg The winters in the town were gay, The summer 'mid the hills- For life was one long holiday When father paid the bills. Cigars from Cuba then I smoked, My wines came o'er from France, And, like Aladdin, I evoked The best by necromanceg The price of things I did not know, Life held no petty ills- But that, alas! was long ago, When father paid the bills. An ancient fable tells us this: When man was first created, His form was round, until, by jove, In two parts it separated. And man must seek thro' all the world, Like juniors, as illustrated, Until he Ends this other half To him appropriated. , During Summer lt's very nice to dress up line, in sporty clothes all day, And knock around the 'Tute and town in knobby clothesg and say! You know it makes a fellow feel a sight more like a man, To know his clothes are in good shape, and laun- dry spick and span. It's very nice, l say, to know one's clothes are to a T, To feel at home and welcome, too, in good society. But when these nice days come along, and fields ' get dry again, A fellow thinks of days likeithese and places where he's been. i' ' Of days when he was with the eorps a knocking 'round the state, .. And laying out some lines or curves, on jobs, both small and great: But pulling tape, .or holding rod., or running in- strument, There's not a man, but fondly- thinks of days that thus he spent. He longs to get out in the field and on a job once more, The weather gets so lazy-like, and school begins to bore, He thinks of grub he used to get, a jolly gang of boys, The good old days of woolen shirts and faded cordnroys. And as he thinks o'er working days, it seems so bright a story! And things that were distasteful then, take on on a shade of gloryg But long before the summer's past, the work will be a bore, He'll hope the 'Tute will open soon, and longs for Troy once more. She said to him, her lover: 1 would not hold you-no, If once the dream seemed over, If once you wished to go. You're free at any season, At any moment-freef' But that is just the reason You hold me fast,', said he. ln a Western Town The summer days went quickly by, He knows not where they went, But her letters come twice every week, And with that he is content. He doesn't care for the maidens sweet, In Troy, so old and brown, For his thoughts are with another girl ln a far off Western town. He is long of body-six feet three- And certainly long of limb, Why a Westport fence, four stories high, Is only a step for him. At the Institute he is a shark, Of the pilliest pilly kind. There is no topic, quiz, or stunt,,' Too hard for his studious mind. His perception is keen, his brain is quick, But his tastes are a little queer, Descriptive's a cinch and Chemistry's rot Are sayings he holds most dear. If in years to come, as time rolls on, Old Hurgis should happen to die, And if perchance to heaven he goes, -Yet seen by mortal eye- ! may catch a glimpse of an angel tall, With countenance worn and dark, Teaching Descriptive to Thompy himself, On the roof of old Noah's ark. But again, something else might happen, And suppose that .Hurgis should fail, For some quite unforeseen reason, 'To connect with the heavenly trail. 'Tis awful when you stop to consider, Yet sometimes to consider is well, To stop and think of the Chemistry he'd get, If his ticket should take him to --.
