D William Hitt fllllemnn, QI. IE., IFE. Sv., 11111. B. William Pitt Mason was born October 12, 1853, in New York City. He prepared at Benard French Institute in New York, and entered the ' Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in September, 1870, whence he graduated in '74, with the degree ot C. E. Dr. Mason spent the following year in Europe, and on his return was appointed Assistant in Chemistry and Natural Science in the Institute in '75. He received the degrees of B. S. from the Institute in '77, and M. D. from the Albany Medical College in '81. He was appointed Professor of Analytical Chemistry in '85, and Professor of Chemistry in '95. He is a member of many Chemical and other Societies, both in this country and Great Britain, and was recently made an honorary member of the Association General des Ingenieurs, Architects et Hygienistes Municipaux of France, Algeria, Tunis, Belgium, Switzerland and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. There are but twenty-three such members in the world, and two of them are from the United States, one of whom is Dr. Mason, who has now well earned an international reputation as an authority on the question of water. He has published several works on Water Supplies, and has been expert in numerous contested cases between cities and water companies, notably in the Chicago Drainage Canal Case. Dr. Mason's courses have always been popular at the Institute, and we join the whole 'Tute in wishing that he may long remain to bring glory to Rensselaer and make expert' chemists and assayers of classes that are to come.

It serves as an introduction and helps to fill up. Furthermore it has always been customary. The last reason accounts for this preface.-The Transit acts as a mirror of our college liteg its reflecting power depends wholly on its contributions.

X x'X E X X stretch only remains, and we have but to pass under the wire and receive the wait- ing prizes of diplomas, congratulations and pardonable pride. It will be an exciting moment and all eyes are fixed upon it with expectation. Therefore it seems a poor time to turn backward and review the race so nearly ended. Nevertheless it is well that we do so while we are still bunched together before our 'final separation, Lest we forget. Our earlier years have been amply chronicled. Being such they have been treated with light abandon. Their written histories teem with gleams of the hammer and barbs of pointed Wit QPD. Now, however, the hammer seems to have lost its usefulness and the Weapons of levity to be out of place. Qur last year, the apex of our Institute career, inspires us with a feeling of solemnity, almost of sadness, that forbids anything but serious con- sideration. A record of facts would be dry reading so let us rather try to make it a record of impressions. While a complete recital of our impressions, or rather HE LAST LAP is nearly finished, the home 28 expressions would undoubtedly cause joy among a few, still in the interests of society we feel rather constrained to present a somewhat curtailed edition. For the fourth time we foregathered after our usual hard summer's labor. The immediate purpose was the Summer Survey. This is designed with the idea of re- cuperating the health of such students as have suffered from overwork during the summer. Of course there have been isolated instances where one has persistently overestimated a slight Hush or something like that and in consequence returned in a state of negative recuperation. As a rule though much can be gained from the Summer Survey, especially if the professor makes himself really one of the party and does not try to keep the upper hand in all his dealings. Qur trip was no exception and inas- much as a great many men learned to run in the spiral, it was said to be a success. In the nature of a reaction came the courses in Astron- omy and Resistances, a delightful combination that seemed to please everybody equally well. 'W e often thought that we could have learned one, were the other dear charmer awayf' So we coquetted with both of them. The net result was termed by some the Theorem of three mean solar moments, while others talked of, a sunbeain uniformly loaded with unequal weights. We managed to muster up enough sanity and good luck, how- ever, to escape too glaring a display of ignorance on the examination. Railroad Location, a fat book weighing about eight pounds, was then taken under consideration. It was one of those books where you read just how to do a thing, then learn how it is done in practice, and lastly discover the way the author recommends. The course consists in taking a mean between the three. If your result does not check with Prof. Cary's, you lose. XVe don't know who did the fudging but nearly everybody won. just to fill in the time when we weren't occupied with Railroads we took up the study of Bridges. Much to our surprise we were brought face to face with a great sub- ject. At first it Hlled our hearts with a certain vague un- rest and made necessary an addition to the Senior Litany: From Structural Draughting jobs, Oh, Lord, Deliver Us. Later on the proposition simmered down to a hard stern chase after some furtive stresses, which, after dodging through various real and imaginary structures, finally took refuge in the Congress Street Bridge and there successfully defied all efforts to locate them. Stone-cutting QStereotomy, when we write home for moneyj is mainly remarkable for the manufacture of various plaster casts, which becomes necessary. Having made these four years ago many of us soon lost interest and one of our Captains of lndustry came to the rescue of the rest by cornering the visible supply of plaster. As a chaser for Bridges we very properly took Hys draulics which, of course, tasted rather flat after its strenuous fore-runner. But it should not be despised, as you never can tell when you are going to need it. It has been found quite handy in a Wateir Supply examination, which is a most unlikely place of course. And so working down towards the present, the impres- sions become too recent to be properly portrayed. Yet before we finish we might speak of a few. The great guessing match, known as VVater Supply, is over. That is, the course is over. The guessing, however, is 'still going on at date of writing. Bridge Drawing, which as an afternoon function was rather scorned by aifew at hrst, has now become popular. A few urgent invitations were issued by Prof. Chillman and the regularity of the above mentioned few became a touching and beautiful thing to witness. About Electro there is nothing to be said. One cannot jest about a thing that is liable to rise up and smite him with a couple of hundred volts any minute and then again we would hate to give Prof. Robb a chance to laugh last. And now Steam Boilers and Geology are sliding along in their usual somnolent and casual manner to their usual finish of special trips to Al- bany and New York. Speaking of trips naturally brings to mind the Senior trip to New York. The trip was for the purpose of visit- ing bridge shops and attending the Alumni Banquet. This was done, the former from necessity, the latter fro-m choice. Some of us returned to T roy the next dayg some took advantage of the opportunity to visit friends and relatives 3 and some are under the protecting veil of his- torical forbearance. Nor should we forget that other visit to Albany when as the Foundation C'ompany's guests we inspected their work, passed judgment, and, found it good. The dinner they spread' for-us afterwards will not soon be forgotten. Of course' it was an awful ex- perience for the young Engineer to be at the mercy of the contractor so early in his career, butmost ofius bore up as bravely as possible. Thus we come to the end. Looking back to the time when we were Freshmen it seems' but as yesterday. The scenes and incidents. that have taken place, in between have become blurred together into 'a concrete whole-+our college days. Things which seemed important then fade into insignihcance before the great fact that we are facing anew state of affairsg that we are leaving one phase of life for another of unknown possibilities. Qld heart burnings are forgotten, and if there has been bitterness there-are none to even remember its causes. The rough places are made to seem smooth by the magic touch of timeiand the mellowing haze of good fellowship. Thus, as time goes on, we will look back with a feeling that not only have we been the gainers in substantial value, but in friends as well, and-our history will recall only pleasant memories of the hours we have spent together.

Behold in him, ladies and gentlemen, the living specimen of the Coqueto or Cuban Lady-killer. He came to this country of his own free will, not like Boscow, and it does not cost anything to see him, unless across 'che table over a friendly game. VVhen Ed. came to Troy he was undecided whether to enter the 'Tute or establish a girl's school, till he finally resolved for a middle course and took rooms near the Emma Willa1'd, giving his spare time to Calculus and other worldly things. It is whispered among his friends that he is not quite pleased with his resolutions for he is seen hours at a time in a semi-hypnotic state. It is wagered, at even money that he is either sleeping or that some fair lady is the cause, but those better informed claim that he is thinking deeply and as a result he has given us some inventions. One of these enables him to talk over the 'phone to two or more different places at once Cprovided there be ladies at the other endbg another consists in making birch-beer out of birch trees, but he could not get Professor Rousseau to agree with him, so he has given this one up. If suddenly wakened from one of these reveries he will say: No-o-0 emphatically, but whether he is denying something or merely talking to' himself without caring for an answer, he won't tell.

' Chick is commonly known as Faraday or Steinmetz, but give him time and you shall see that when it comes to Electricity he is a second to the great Robb alone.

Indeed, I wonder how the Lord failed to recognize my superiority to the inhabitants of this earth and sent me here at all. I went to the Institute to show what a mighty brain could do. In this I succeeded, al- though. people don't want to acknowledge it. On the Iunor Survey, especially, I showed how to hold a rod so that it would be invisible to the transitmang how to get sore when this duty was imposed on meg how to spend hours choosing jewels in a store while the rest of the party were at workg and how to make them swear by simply playing one of my own improvisions at the piano.

When it was reported through the land that this child was born the scientilic world sat up and took notice, and as he grew up the people began to say to one another This cliild hath strange new ideas, away with him, for he will destroy our old and honored laws. He could not be conhned, however, or locked out of any secret place, for he had but to pass his hand over the lock and exclaim, Open in the name of Science, and he passes through to discover new secrets. A Wie do not like to call him a crook, or house-breaker, but his friends, who accompany him on his excursions, know, to their sorrow, his one grave fault. His motto is To do or die. and we all feel that he will live up to his bold assertions and accomplish something worth while. H, S. is never in a hurry, but always gets there just the same. In his early life his hours of recreation were spent on the quiet banks of Ballston Lake and this, no doubt, accounts for that slow, easy gait of his. Little is known of him socially, but rumor has it that those evening trips are quite numerous. Much more could be said of our friend Harry, both complimentary and otherwise, but we will hold our pen and say, in closing, that, with all his faults we love him still. FRANK JOSEPH BLAIR.

Brad, hails from some part of the 'West, but since no one but Brad. ever heard of, or saw the place, we shall take his word that it is somewhere in the prairies, and call it Evanston. Vifhen Brad. first hit Troy, one could easily see he missed the cow puncher life, and was going to be tied for room. Naturally he was much excited with Troy's busy streets, and immense buildings, but he soon got used to all this and was satisiied with life. He always tells you of his excellent High School education, but as he wished to learn more about oil wells, he set out for the East and stopped off to see what the Institute could do for him. Brad's massiveness and pleasant smile soon won for him, many admirers and hardly a day passed by without some of the fair sex asking who that fine looking fellow was? Brad, however, was never affected and soon showed them that he had been there before. IVe must not forget to mention Brad's socity lifelwhile at the Institute. As usual he was popular and during the excitement he took great pleasure in making at least a dozen dates to call on his admirers and after he kept those, he would crawl back and never appear again at a social function for six weeks. Brad returns to his native state, each summer, but no signs of oil have appeared as yet. He has promised us all a great treat when he hits and we can imagine Andrew Car- negie won't be in it.

Though he can no longer tight in the ranks he is there to see that Institute' customs are properly honored. He is very quiet and for this reason we never know just what he is going to do next, but we can always trust him as an experience of three years has never caused us to loose faith. Before coming to Troy he was very shy when in the presence of ladies, but when he met the Trojan maids he lost this fear and has long since been an active member of the P. C.'s. At regular intervals he takes flight to the mountain tops of East Troy, where becoming an Angel, he sips the ambrosial nectar from the lips of the goddesses. 'fBrit. 38 JAMES EDGAR BROOKS, A '35, 0.

Eddy is remarkably bright, but unfortunately for the Institute, can spare it very little of his time. But, what can one expect' when he has to spend so much time in Townsend's watching the fire engines go past, and gambling with Ren, to see who pays for the soda Wfater? The last habit has entitled him to be called Young Canfield, of which he is very proud. Eddy is a great authority on athletics, but for all that we have never been able to discover just what Barnes d-id say. His athletic prowess' has lost the Institute a great baseball pitcher, as he is going to Sheff. and wants to be eligible to play on the Yale team in his hrst year.

Little is known of his early life-his birthday is a mythg but we see him roaming over the western prairies, feeling wonderful power within him, and thinking, VVhat a wonder I will be when I am a man. The first authentic report we have is his saying during one of his first rushes on 8th Street, I am not afraid of any Sophomore, I come from Kansas. His early Trojan life was very pure and simple, his diet being Algebra, Trigonometry and Mensuration, with a dessert of Analytics. Also during this period he looked to his Alma Mater as the one goddess, but during the second year his brain enlarged to comprehend a second deity, which in the third year is easilv gaining the ascendency. 'What will the fourth year bring? 'With the aid of his C. E. degree, and his vast general knowledge, Dan expects to return to Kansas and show the natives how to build irrigation ditches.

In him we have an exemplitication of one dear to the hearts of the fair sex, who's winning ways, coy manners and captivating disposition are the talk of the town. But it indications prove true his powers have already been used with good eftect. One would think, from the number ot letters he receives pelr week that he was running a correspondence school, but jolly him a little -about writing to so many girls and he will inform you that they are not from different girls. His hobby is re-enforced concrete construction, and he has already designed a twelve room house to be built somewhere in Pennsylvania soon after June 15, 1907. Particulars are hard to gain for it makes one feel sorry to see him blush so when asked about the house. But taking all in all. Harry is all to the good, even if there is a girl in the case. 42 ARTHUR TYAS CLARK, Jlleizrands, N. Y. Born, October 4, 1884, Albany, N.

First he is an artist of some note and hlis ability in this line was shown by his pilly looking titles and maps and also by the ease with which he draws anything from a three panel Pratt truss to his pay. Second, he is of a poetic nature. Judge for yourself after reading Section Three History. Again we find that he has entered into the manufacturing business since entering the tute. His idea of the R. P. I. emblems was very favorably received as was shown by the difhculty he experienced in supplying the demand. However, all his customers were stuck. He has tried to add to the science of Mechanics by setting forth new principles and theories. How successful he has been in this will be shown when he prints the notes and distributes them 'fgratisu as the other profs. do. VX7ith all his abilities the greatest thing that he ever did successfully was to change Round Lake into Pound Cake. Clark is one of those names which was not born to dief' as Halleck puts it. HOW A. T. will immortalize it is hard to say, but it is not improbable that we shall hear of hifm again as an aerial navigator. Having built so many air castles in which his little 3-4 horsepower gas engine has done such wonderful work. No doubt he will next attempt to put it in an air ship. As to his engineering abilities the State Barge Canal and the Menands Hockey Rink stand as evidence. Especially in the case of the latter, for after he borrowed', a level and set stakes for the embankment, the creek which flowed near there when he drew his plans was nowhere to be found. At last accounts nothing had been seen of the missing part and Menands has a dry skating rink.

If New Britain was anything but new when he left for the 'Tute, there is still hopes of its reformation when he becomes its city engineer, for all his calculations reach to the fourteenth decimal place. Althoughlit takes him half an hour to set up an instrument and ten minutes thereafter for each side shot, yet he gets there. On the junior Survey he would stand in swamps with the rod upside down and not complain a bit. He delights in strolling when he can be induced to leave his books, but when once started, he seldom stops. A strange rumor has been afloat for several weeks to the effect that he knows a girl in town and has even been to call on her, but the latter fact is stoutly denied by all who know him. 43 . 1 if XX N' . ,f .

SlKing,.7J One of the greatest misfortunes which has occurred to the City of Buffalo since its discovery was its loss of this Sanguine young man. His father had every intention of putting him in the ministry and pictured to himself his darling boy turning thousands away from Red Light and Booze Alas! He landed in the wrong place, and instead of turning the thousands, now needs to be turned. His 'First expedition in Troy earned him his name, King. Few ever knew why it was applied, but when you consider how quickly he made the acquaintance of Arthur, Eddie, Henry, and learned where the Side Pocket is, and the way to Stoll's, it then becomes a simple matter. No great exponents of hops and malts were ever necessary for he had made a deep study of their strenuous effects under Profs. Type and Hoover. His excellent judgment was so generally recognized that he was given a place on the Calculus and the Rush Committees.

But at last he decided to be the latter, although he still clings to the other, and is learning the profession on the Hudson. During the summer vacation Dave departs from home and goes to the Thousand Islands. where he says he manages a large summer resort and gets enough out of it to pay all his expenses for the year. But we haven't ever found out the name of the place. R He,says some day he is going to write a book entitled, The Management of a Summer esort.'

Dave is a great favorite of the ladies, his beautiful pompadour is what takes their eye, and while out he must be accompanied by a bodyguard to protect him from the attacks which they make on it to secure a lock.

Since then he has changed in many respects, and all the Troy Theatres hnd that his appearance is absolutely necessary for their prosperity. At present he is very seriously thinking of buying the livery stable at 3rd and Liberty-merely as a paying investment, though there could be other reasons.

But don't introduce him or you may find yourself playing second fiddle, because Sammy's ':French doll hair and his ex- clusive copyrighted line of talk are too much for the average Broadway belle. And such ankles! One glance at them is sufficient to explain to the average person why our friend wears low shoes and high water trousers the year around. Every Sunday afternoon Sam takes his beauty sleep.

At 'uiy rate if the hairs of his head are numbered, there are now a good many missing numbers, and though he can give us no good explanation for this, we can say for him that there is no v sible cause for it. Owing to his having lived at Rensselaer until recently, when he mended his ways by moving to Troy, we were not permitted to know Doc as' we might wish, but if he keeps up the pace of the past year, he will certainly get-somewhere-sometime-and we shall be glad to see him do it. 46 JOSEPH A.

It is upon the thoroughness of all his good work that we would like to lay stress, not, however, that his knowledge of things, which even grip the heart-strings, is not ex- tensive and backed with experience. His happy hunting ground, where were once found the pleasures of the week's end, where the glory due a Major was always at hand, knows him no more, but do not think for one moment that the squirrels no longer chirp at his coming. All of the Duke's ideas on life and society have been changed. It is due to these radical to membership and has joined a' certain club, the members of which call themselves the --, Well, we won't say what, because the name is copy- you can ask I-Iowie, but we can say that if you should only other member of this club you would find a small changes that he has become eligible righted, and then, for that matter, call at the mailing address of the chance of finding him there.

If still water runs deep, there's no bottom to Sam's well, and probably he's just as well satisfied as water is not his particular brand. Assistant Civil Engineer Gordon is the address on his envelopes. Sam says it is the one thing that reminds him of his being an engineer. Of course a sailor is modest, and mostly drunk, but although htting in nicely with the rest, Sam does not claim to be an adept at the second. May he find the Institute to his liking.

Hale Happy His sobriquet was gained by the earnest endeavors to put forth early in his freshman year to cheer up some of his fellow classmates, who, soon after their triumphal entry in Troy, became dispirited and were filled with longings for home. As he had, when Secre- tary and Treasurer of the Chenango and Allied Counties' Poultry, Provision Farm and Live Stock Association, swayed mighty multitudes by his eloquence, his task now was a com- paratively easy one, and very soon he convinced them that instead of existing in Gehenna they were inhaling the ambrosial air of Elysium. It is to be regretted that his remarks were not recorded, but they cannot be found in Pilgrim's Progress or even in Shakespeare. The name is not wholly a misnomer, although on a Saturday morning after a strenuous prayer meeting the night before, his countenance might make a stranger take pause and consider. Vtfhen he first came to Troy a helping upper classman told him where to look for rooms and he proceeded to do so at once, but soon changed his mind. A year or two afterwards the proprietors 'ffolded their tents like the Arabs and as silently stole away for the police quietly but firmly requested their absence. As he had come to Troy for somewhat of a general knowledge, he worked hard and soon acquired one. His tastes also developed most royally, and for quite a time he could be seen on various occasions at Albany, Lagoon Island, and Troy, wholly intent upon a queenly beauty robed in purple, who accompanied him on his evening trips.

Rough-housing is his favorite pastime. When ever you hear of a good big rough house you may know Butinsky is there. But Harris' skill in making flags should not be overlooked. His zeal in turning red and white hunting into hard cash has been only exceeded by some force which has attracted him home a little before the end of each term. This attraction has been a great mystery, but rumor has it that there was a girl at the other end of the line. Lately, however, we have been hearing other strange tales about Ford.

Dear Tran-sit Board-In answer to your request, asking what I know of my Ferdie,'f I reply that I think him the dearest boy at the Institute. He first came to Troy with his money sewed in his undergarments, his mother, fearing that someone would take it from the little fellow. He was a very shy and demure young man, but after a sojourn of a few months among us g' l d f ' ' ' ' ' ' g Mir s, an a te1 taking dancing lessons with Professor Stewart on River Street, his manner changed to that of an effete young society leader. All the girls in Troy are crazy after Ferdie, his manly figure and winning smile, have won the admiration of all the girls on the beat I-Ie has nothing to do with them, however, and remains true to me. There are many stories told of his escapades with chorus and collar factory girls. Ferdie s a very nne athlete 5 he knows Duffy of Georgetown, has read of several other track men, and was himself captain of the R. P. I. football team, which received great credit in the New York Journal. In conclusion I would say that barring Everett Butterfield, I think that my Ferdie is the most popular man in Troy, and regardless of what may be said of him, I will still be Sincerely his own, , TOOTSIE. 53 i true to him and love him to the end. 7 repare at roy Academy, entered Insti- LANCEIDT L.

He has fondness for the collar girls, especially the older, and as he explains it, the more sophisticated ones. It was rumored once that Lance drank a whole glass of beer, but it was ascertained on investigation that it was only a bottle of ink. Lance's principal ainusements are dancing and vocalizing.

His popularity with the VVhite Church people has always been pronounced, but of late they say that he has joined the church.

When and where John acquired the name of Hink he absolutely refuses to state. In his freshman year he became a real devil, falling through car windows and holding down the front seats at the Royal. His pale face is the result of many nights of plotting to lower the pride of the Lordly Murdoch, who nevertheless promptly decided that the Institute would be everlastingly disgraced if Hinkee should get a pass slip in English. So far all his schemes have failed, but his latest plot is to give John G. the hottest ride of his life on his new tandem motor-cycle until the pass slip is handed over, YVe all wish John the greatest success in his new enterprise. Up to the present time he has been known to be very severe on the fair sex, who display a desire to be sociable, but lately he has butted into the society of the Aoo, never being seen further than three feet from the punch bowl, at any of the social gatherings. Hink came Lo the 'Tute because he decided it was much safer to be here than to be dodging the Hying bricks of the Dagos in his brick yard. How- ever, when he graduates we all hope that he will be able to conquer these unruly Dagos in Roseton and to rule in peace and happiness. 54 I f. 1 I I l x JOSEPH L. JOVA, X 'IR Born, June 18, I885.

He came to the Institute because he hoard that a cigarette diet was necessary to live on in Troy, and he has not gotten over the impression. I-lis sad voice is often heard, inquiring what the lesson is, though when in- formed he does not seem to show any lively interests in its perusal. He has developed since his arrival in Troy a walk of the pigeon variety, and he invariably attracts much attention among the fair sex by his inimitable swagger, and the peculiar cut of his coats. Troy society promptly decided that Joe was cute, but he treats it with disdain, and scoffingly refers them to his more ambitious classmates. However, when he does condescend they all-agree that he is as cute as he loolcsf joe frequently appears in merry gatherings of those daring spirits who look upon the wine, when it is red, and his winning ways have won him an inevitable position in the regard of his classmates.

The Big Dutchman or more frequently Dutch, I'll wallop you, Dutch made his reputation as Captain of Section 4. He was fitted for that office by having been coached in rowing by Courtney-the absent treatment by the way-and by Jimmy Evans, whose fame as a supporter of the manly art is being reflected in the deeds of his pupil. He is quite well acquainted with Troy and vicinity. During his Freshman year he confined his attentions to that part of Sixth Avenue lying above Jacob Street. But even though he is a red hot Democrat he believes in expansion and his Sophomore year found him travelling towards Green Island. This year he has undertaken to explore the wilds of South Troy. We are sorry, Dutch, R. P. I. always has been faithful to the collar industry. Can't .you find something in that line, and save your Alma Mater from the clutches of the ribbon counter girls? 56 This name seems very appropriate to the boy whose charmmo countenance presents itself to view on this page of the Transit. He is by far the luckiest chap in the Tute and on that account it is very easy for him to get along Ilhis luck not only stands by him in college, but even outside its walls. He seems to have more girls to call upon every night in the week than all the rest of the class put together Whethei this is luck or not I do not know, but he says it is his good looks that attract I know, howevei, that he IS a beauti ful entertainer, and this, combined with his charming manners covers a multitude Just to show how popular he is I will cite an mstance that happened to come under my notice. Last year he asked some of his gentlemen friends to accompany him to a young lady's house, she having already invited him Qbut ne was to go alonej Her intention was to give joy to her friends by having Kenyon call alone Well lt so happened that his friends said they would call with him, but on the night stated the friends did not show themselves at the proper time and place to proceed to the g1rls house so Kenyon went alone.

This, gentle readers, is a likeness of our Bob, who entered the 'Tute four weeks after the rest of his class. By application he soon gained all the lost ground. Thus encouraged, and not having enough to occupy his attention, he turned his mind on another side course of his own. Being a good transitinan he soon had a line on some South Troy belles. After making a complete conquest of Troy he invaded Cohoes and as usual he never failed to make a hit with the fair sex. Bob was captain of Section Six at Round Lake. Being such a valuable man he was generally guarded by Latham and Lamb, who took good care of their captain. W'e must not forget to mention here his ability as an athlete, for on a basketball court he has held audiences spellbound by his clever exhibitions.

Or, again if, on these warm summer days, while on one of your long walks through the country, you hear the love--sick bellow of a cow or smell the cheese of a rural Creamery and yet neither cow nor creamery are visible, but merely a lanky, shuniing, much embarrassed country boy, you once more are face to face with that person, who some day will be one of the largest and most popular builders in the State--the boy Martin. I advise you to stop and talk to him for he will fully amuse and interest you with his back-woods' drawl and humor, while you will be sure to enjoy basking for a short time in the sunshine of his smile. A botanist by nature, he is more familiar with trees and their habits than even Professor Rousseau, who often had to call on him for an expert opinion on a growth. And so we shall leave him for the time, knowing that in the future his works will speak for him. 58 JOHN MCBRIDE, R. S. E., 9 N E. ELADIO ANDRES MARTINEZ, A T A, U. H. A., K. C. N.

His parents, knowing how modest and bashful Harry was when any girls were around, decided to send him to Troy. I-Ie came, he saw and he conquered CU. During his Freshman year he became quite a favorite with his classmen. There were a few who were much attached to Harry, much more than others, his face showing the consequence of this attachment. In his Sophomore year Harry became quite athletic. One day, while the class was sitting for its picture, Harry, accompanied by Pete Lamb, did an aerial somersault that took the eyes of their classmates Calso some of their earsj and landed hand-in-hand on their necks. XVhile in Ballston on the Junior Survey Harry was always accompanied by Big Martin. Some said that Martin went along with Nathan in order to protect the latter's manly stature from being punctured by some of Ballston's rowdies CFD. But rumor had it that there were women in the case. Owing to painful experiences obtained while acting as one of the illustrious members of Section Ten, Nathan has invented an extension tripod which he expects to take along on his Senior Survey or else a step ladder, in order to avoid trouble.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The above is the pathetic sentiment of this amorous youth of the Capitol City. It is indeed sad to think that he could have been rejected, but we cannot understand how he can expect to have so many strings to his bow and each one equally strong. There is a fascina- tion about this man, something in his beautiful azure eyes and the dimple in his chin that causes many a beautiful butterfly to fall at his feet as though dead. Not' realizing the potent spell his presence produces, he passes on his way innocently smiling on those he has conquered. Although an Adonis in appearance this angel face is a schemer of the first water. Among other positions, he holds one as treasurer of a Sunday School, and, from appearances. one might be led to believe-but, no, such a cherubic countenance is, in itself, a symbol of honesty. Not content with the ordinary modes of transportation, he may often be seen on horseback, but we would like to know why he keeps changing horses?

'tMut, the South Troy Sleuthf' You will probably think by looking at this young man that he is a member of the Y. M. C. A. Far from it. He is from Troy and no resident of Troy has ever been known to become a member of that honored body. He is the gentleman 1T1l1t'fI'O111 South Troy, who has been known in his day to carry through some of the biggest bluffs that man has ever attempted. WVe cannot give a complete story of his life as we are positive that it will appear later in several volumes, when he has become one of the great men of the country. It is sufficient to say that in his younger days his highest ambition was to become a nfis- sionary, but he fell from his high ideal and awoke at the 'Tute. I-lis ambition just rat present is to become a member of the faculty, so that he may get even on some future son of R. P. I. 'We believe, however, that when he has the degrees of C. E., E. E., M. E., and B. S., that he will attain the position of janitorship at the 'Tute. In class, if you will observe him closely. he will look very intelligent and knowing, but that expression slowly changes to that old familiar look that a fellow has when he knows the answer but just canlt think of it at that moment. It might be said, however, that Alfred always knows the answer, at least, he makes the professor believe he does. To sum up, we will say that Alfred would have developed into an ideal man if he had not entered the 'Tute, but he is trying to make up for it by attending church at least once a week. CHARLES L.

Almost any evening during the school year one can see a rosy-cheeked, frowsy-haired Dutchman parading up and down Sth Street, his shoes untied, his hair uncombed, and with- out collar or tie, but nevertheless accompanied by one of Troy's famous beauties. A great favorite with the ladies, a master hand at pinochle, but above all a great CPD student. Thus, would I introduce Dutchy. 'When he First struck Albany, while on his way to Troy, he at once hired an auto and proceeded to the best hotel in the city, arranged to occupy their best suite of rooms, then sat down to count his money, but found-that his supply was so nearly exhausted that he was forced to exchange an overcoat for a ticket to Troy, and a meal at the Essex Lunch. His course at the Institute has been of unparalleled success for one so young, and besides he is almost always discouraged just before exams by having the Profs deliberately cheat him out of a hrst section when he knew his marks had been the best in the class.

Wait a minute. It is with great regret that it is impossible to present this long wonder as he really appears. He is very long and thin and reminds one very much of a giraffe, but perhaps this is putting it very mildly. His chief characteristics are slowness. bashfulness and con- ventionality He is slow, so slow that we wonder that he ever gets anywhere. It is said that he once fell asleep while on a survey and would have become a second Rip Van VVinkle had he not been rudely awakened. But bashfulness seems to be his most amusing trait, for invariably he gently nudges his neighbor to ask for things which he may want. He really wouldn't do anything which isout of the ordinary customs of his fellows. On the survey he distinguished himself by his lusty voice, which might be heard at almost anytime of the night. One of his greatest pleasures is to rough-house, in which he usually is found on the bottom, but even then he doesn't know when he has enough. and proceeds to get more. He is really a winner with the fair sex for he is so coy of manner and so easily fussed. But of late he has been quite sad and meek, and we wonder who was so unkind to him. Perhaps in one of his confidential moods he may tell you all about it. ' 67 MULFORD STONV, A K E, B A B, 'Z Born, February 5, 1884, at Troy, N. Y.

Heine hails from that town called Buffalo, which is somewhere in the western part of the state near Niagara Falls. How he came to enter the Institute no one knows, but we are certain that it was no fault of his own. At any rate Heine enjoyed his life at the lnstitute, but he suddenly broke away from us at the close of his Sophomore year. It has been a great mystery ever since why he' did so. Some believe that he did not want some fair damsel to capture him and that he did not want to raise his family so near the 'Tute. - Teip. was very popular with the ladies and many are anxiously awaiting the time when he shall pay the city a visit. We are almost positive that Babe, Alice, Bertha, Mabel, Ethel, Anna, and many others too numerous to mention, still carry his picture in their lockets.

The honor was too much, its cranium belgan to swell, and swell, and swell-in fact it has not stopped yet. Last year the enlargement of its head became so alarming that its friends placed it under the care of a well known osteopathist. lmprovement was at first rapid, but shortly after a trip to Saratoga Van refused to continue the treatment. As a result of this mistake, no one can tell what the spetcimen will resemble when graduation day arrives. It would be unfair to the Doctor, as Van is often called, not to mention that he has found a sure way to beat the faculty and win with fours up every tinnd. Perhaps Van will tell all about his system some day, but now he is too busy with the girls to put one wise. Van is certainly a good story teller-just ask any one of the girls-only the boys do not use that name for his hot air. Before W'ilrner entered the lnstitute he was chief bottle washer on a surveying corps. but since then, by following the a'dvice of a certain professor, he has risen to the exalted position of the whole dam party. Perhaps no more striking illustration of Van's versatility can be found than in the fact that he has recently undertaken, in addition to looking after his studies and calling on at least seven girls a week, to Fill the position of a walking advertisement for the products of a famous collar concern not far from the Institute. - 7l cc CHARLES R.

Near the end of the term an unfortunate accident befell him, which caused an abrupt cessation of the theatre habit. As there are other names eonnepted with the affair, we will be unable to do more than give two facts of the case. Charlie was out: one dollar and sixty cents and a junior was in two pounds of candy not intended for him. . All those days are past now, Charlie is a different man. Aye, different., and what a difference. 'Tis not theatres, but the U. S. mail that interests our blue-eyed boy now.

Mike has told us that he was born ,to be a physician, that the medical blood runs in his family, because the man who married a third cousin of his great grandmother was a physician. But we think that his real vocation was for grand opera, not only because of his wonderful voice, but because this tendency for the stage has shown itself by Miguel's affection for the chorus girls from the Royal. Miguel is all kindness to everybody and because of this he suffers but he does not know it. He has been known to believe that he did not need breakfast because another fellow needed the price to go to the show. 'When Miguel started in the Institute he used to tell us what a cinch he had.

Then there is hisf everlasting smile, which will be remembered in Troy long after he has seen the ast o 1t. - He did not come to Troy as a simple little schoolboy from the primary department. In Pittsburg he was well known as a designer of bridges and Hying machines. His first opinion of the 'Tute was a poor one. He compared it to some of his home toWn's second rate schools. But his ideas received a decided shaking up after he had been introduced to the Sophomores as a body on Eighth Street, and when he discovered that he would have to wear a very little cap with a very big green button on it. Then his respect for the Institute was as it should be. In his Sophomore year, Jake, with his superior smile and because he always wore clean collars, was often mistaken for an upper-classman by the freshies and was saluted accord- ingly, much to his gratihcation. Quiet and assuming, no one would ever take him for an R. P. I. tough, but in his quiet way he can make things hum. When Jake was home last summer, some well-meaning friend gave him a camera. NOW he is a hend of the hrst order. He insists in photographing everything and anything. But his specialty in the camera line is flashlight pictures. I-Ie delights in getting his friends to pose of all kinds of dramatic positions and after focusing for half an hour and using up all his flash lights he invariably discovers he forgot to put in the plate or ,draw the shutter or something. Still his friends have to suffer. This hobby, however, does not prevent Jake from devoting some of his spare time to the ladies. He tells some pretty tall yarns about the ladies of his acquaintance. One of them is a special favorite because of the light refreshments she always serves when he calls. Her motto, it seems, is Feed the brute. ARTHUR V. COLEMAN, Troy, N. Y. Born in North Greenbush, N.

How'd you like to be the coalman? was MeGiffertis greeting the very nrst day, and Coleman has done his best to keep up the illusion by raising the blackest beard in the class. Coleman lives somewhere up in Albia, and this is sufficient excuse for his always being late. Ever get him started talking? The best thing to do is to twist the subject around to skating, turn him on Easton, and escape in the heat of the argument. . His picture gives no adequate idea of the length of his legs, much to the regret of the Whole Board. Coleman is also noted as the only man in Robb's classes who could call red blue with a straight face. VV e wish him all success, but may he never branch out into railroad signaling.

Poor Une is nearly bald due to his excessive worry over study and his many Sweethearts, Vv'hen Une came from Pitts- burg he received and wrote many letters to the, dear girls he had left behind but time has altered circumstances and now all his interest seems to be centered in the Seitz of Seventh Street. We now find Cherry working hard on the D. Sz I-I. and that is the reason his smiling Ez does not appear on this sheet. Ask Une about Carry and notice the expression on his face. Of course we mean Carrie Nation. Don't we Unc? And be sure and ask how to make paper wads. Une had quitevau ex- perience with them at prep. school. It almost cost him his place in the choir. Didn't you ever know that he sang? XVelI, he does, and now everytime he comes to Troy he sings-well, we wont say to whom, or of Whom, but he does and that is enough for anyone to know, XfVe all hope Alan will come back to the Institute in the fall and mingle with the old-time throng.

There are many sources of information, where the curious and in- ISTORY NWRITING seems a needless labor terested can learn of our glory. Wie are naturally Hlled with a great pride when we recall the big events in our history, but, it is perhaps not so much these that interest us as the recollection of the many little incidents that have given zest to the few years we have spent together. Their memory is already deeply imprinted in the minds of our numerous members, where it will remain perhaps partly obscured until some cloudy day in the dim future when it will come clearly to us to revive and cheer us upon our way. In the publications of the past two years the happen- ings of our early history have been fully dwelt upon. In the middle of last September we found ourselves raised 81 upon the pedestal of junior life, which fact naturally inspired us into assuming a dignity of bearing in keep- ing with our exhalted position, at least during the week of the arrival of the freshman. Some of us left it when we reached Ballston and Round Lake, but our return to youthful playfulness was of course due to the stimulus of the country air. Upon our return to Troy, we de- cided to aid the health department by a concerted effort to exterminate the mosquitoes on the banks of the Hud- son in the neighborhood of the Iron VVorks. VVe, how- ever, found strong language of little avail and so re- 1urned to the more serious pursuits of learning. Since then we have given all .Q ?j our attention to the chase of this fairy phantom and, we must admit, it has led us a merry pace. W'e now End ourselves slowly gaining ground and in a very short time we will be looking for the fruits of this year's labors. Instead of going into further details of our scholastic history we would like to call your attention to our hall of fame and show you some of the shining lights and great spirits who have added honor. and glory to our record. Among them are Lyster G. Bayly, our first and great president, the man who quailecl our enemy with his wonderful conversationg Babcock, the inventor of a new hair tonicg Nick Carter, the writer of many a fearful and harrowing tale: Coghyill, our brae and bonnie Scotg our only and innocent Chilclg Judge Hughey, who was once aclinittecl to the bar Cwhat bar?j g Lamb, of basket- ball fame: Pewee Nathan, our giant in clisgustg Roche, a politician that Tammany shoulfl get hold of: Steve, our docile giraffe: Dwinel, our infant procligyg Wfarfl, S the versatile, actor, teacher and main stay of Troy's social lifeg and last, but by no means least, Count R. F. T. NVilke, the personal representative of all the crowned beads of Europe. VVe are proud of our class, of its members and its clcecls and we shall always recall with .joy the good old clays when we were together at the feet of our noble Alma Mater, Rensselaer. jx '32 ,,.. 0 , ' '2 S' fa R, ll 82 wa . 1 -.. 4 x 4 Gilman nf 'HH Qbftirnra FIRST TERM I SECOND TERM ALLEN STEWART DAVISON, President ALFORD WABNITZ Duss, President , THOMAS MUSGRAVE REES, vicegpresiaenf CHARLES FARWELL MILLIMAN, vicegvfesidenf GEORGE BRYAN, Secretary RAYMOND FULLER, Treasurer if LANGFORD TAYLOR ALDEN, Secretary ANDREW CRAWFORD JOHNSTON, Treasurer FRED LANDER MCEWEN, Toastmaster JOHN CALVIN PECK JR., Historian Colors- Orange and Black Qllama 131211 Rack-At-A-Tlarat Kick-At-A-Lear One-Nine-Naught-Eight Rensslaer. 84 Fftl j bi grff L m lf Langford Taylor Alden, 9 N E, T1'0y, N.

In order to have a thorough understanding of the events that were making for the success of the Amal- gamated Provinces at this early period of their career when they were but just begin- ning to spread their dominion across the great seas it is essential that we make our- selves familiar with the conditions obtain- ing among the younger scions of the realm. Restorers have found ruins of great institutions of learning scattered broadly over the country and of wonl derous interest is the tale they tell. Perhaps no ruins yet unearthed are richer from the point of view of the antiquary than those lately discovered near the site of the old Dutch city, Fort Orange. This region has been the favorite haunt of the party sent out by our Minister of Education, the crumbling walls of many of the fore- most educational centers of that era being located within a short radius. Near here was the great University Union and its persistent rival, the Academy of Troy. But the ruins in which we are specially interested are those of the Institute Rensselaer. The records of this great seat of culture are remarkably well preserved and show - la I , gn . 5 Fi 2 . yo 22 :Xi 34 Q the school to have been a social as well as a scientific center. Qn the archives appear the names of some of the greatest geniuses of that prehistoric era. There appear to have been several factions at the 'Tute Cn. b. from tutor -a savantj at this time. Prominently inentiond are the Nautiates and a feebler clique variously termed Frosh, Scuts, or Nauteenins. There are also vague references to less important clans called, collectively, Upperclassmen. 'W e gather that the difference between the two hrst mentioned factions was so elementary as to be the basis of an endless feud and the major part of the records are given over to the de- tails of the clashes between the two. Translators tell us of an early fight known as the Cain Rush Qevidently so called from the well known hero of an incident in their holy bookj. The two classes met in a desperate combat in which most of the Scuts were overcome and' their armor confiscated, though the latter seem to have been proclaimed the victors. At about this time the Nautie- ates came in contact with Mac and Clark, two scientists of that day who labored heavily to instruct them in the subject of An-al-Itics and the Calculi and with Billy and another who drilled them so thoroughly in the use of their weapons that, again meeting the Scuts, they were able to win a great victory. Led by little Davy, a gen- eral of the period, they met their enemies, who were se- curely embanked in an old foundry, and a sanguinary conflict ensued. Many of each side were forced to Ubite the dust, but hnally the Nautiates, though greatly out- numbered, overcame their opponents, many of whom had skidooed. Their proud banner was to-rn down from aloft and there was evidently great rejoicing on the part of the victors. Soon after this victory began a period of conlinement for the triumphant class-an epoch of oppression by the ruling powers. The object of this captivity is unknown to us-in fact the historians of the day speak of it often as the period of the unknown. From the frequent repetition of the symbol FALES investigators have decided that a lack of success in branches of the educa- tional work may have lead to this form of punishment. The labors of severe-indeed, word PTTT, a gamated to the have been not this punishment must have been very in this connection we often find the word sometimes applied by the Amal- place of the dead. The work seems to altogether unrewarded, however, for later we find joyful references to large remunerationsi' and Uaccruing fundsf' Loving mention is made of a certain man of thunder, a man golden crowned, a ceaseless taskmaster, whom strong language could not harm. Many tomes are devoted to his wise sayings with long treatises on shall and willf' pronouns,J' Hexigesis of terms, 'gassociation of ideas, and other like scientific topics. He seems to have devoted his efforts mainly to sentence structures, a type of edifice of which no trace now remains. Qur knowledge of this branch of engineer- ing is purely theoretical and has no place in the realms of actuality. The archives of the period immediately subsequent are lost and later records, treating of this time, speak of re- views and exams, words as yet untranslated by us. It has been suggested that these terms apply to religious rites and that the period was one of meditation and re- pentence. We know that the time was concluded by a general celebration known as a Cremation Q so called from the great amount of the popular beverage con- sumed on this occasionj. Seen through the perspective of centuries the next era seems to have been one of Shades and shadows. Gloomy Descriptive passages speak of one Tompee, the Silent, a great man of French extraction, who won their admira- tion by his elforts on their behalf during this doleful time. Physics owes much of its present development to the original investigations of some of the Nautieates. It was at this time that the valuable properties of the cor- rugated vacuum were first discovered, though it was not till much later that practical use was made of this knowledge. Another discovery was the use of clothes lines in Geodesy. By this method the laying out of pub- lic lands was revolutionized. There is a record of a peculiar occurrence of which we can make little. Several well authenticated records of the times speak of a Slay Rush Qwhy this bloody title should have been given is still a mystery to us, as apparently no one was slainj. The Nautieates, under able leadership, vainly pursued the fleeing Scuts and would doubtless have Dubbed them well if they had come up with them. There followed a long peace between these factions, the spirit of the Scuts having been completely broken, indeed, the latter seemed to have accepted a very subservient position, wearing a peculiar headgear as a token of their submission. A celebration of this state of affairs was a great feast spread in Scghnecghtadigh, where the Nautie- ates rejoiced over their supremacy. Soon after this came another religious retirement with its deep meditation, fol- lowed by a period of rejoicing and a scattering into many lands. Such were the conditions in that early period of the existence of the Amalgamated Provinces, in such a man- ner were the characters of its great men formed. From our modern point of View it was an extremely crude form of education, but it was the little beginning from which grew the untarnishable brilliance of our present glorious realm. ' 1 .

N SEPTEMBER 14, 1905, about 165 men of all ages and sizes first saw the cobwebby halls of the R. P. I. We saw the curious eyes of these college-mates of ours size us up and rate us. Some said, Look at the greeniesf' but we have disproved that El' ll ll V slander. lfVe were enjoined by the l-lon. Director's proxy to do our best, to study hard and not go out nights. VVhen he had said these things and informed us of the rules on hazing and its punishment, Grand Marshal King of Kings took the table and in terse, polite phrasing told us that the rules must be followed. We appreciated these honors thus thrust upon us and smilingly bought the caps so pleasing to the Senior eye. But just the same they helped a lot in an advantageous way. Custom demanded other little forms which We knew better than to combat, and we did as it is right to do with little persuasion by the policemen of college- Sophs. Wfe learned to salute. even those so ungra- eious as to walk by and say in a gruff menacing tone, S'lute, Freshief, XfVhen they wentout of earshot we just eased our minds of many thoughts that would take up blank spaces. i Then we started in to work, i. e., those of us who cared to, and got to like rushing lille met Chemistry, and although Professor Mason did not want to have to tell us his scrap book full of jokes over again, we wanted to get the full benefit of the 'Tute so much that he allowed about one-third of us to take it again next year. Not succeeding in Hunking us all out in this they gave us to Professor De Pierpont, or Frenchy. Hes all rightf' Guilty,'l is the verdict on this man, who has a corner on our hearts and marks. XVe made a slight acquaintance with Laboratory Eddy, and Wfillie, with the beady eyes from Albany. Thats what one of his own townsmen said. see! . Soon class elections moved the faithful patriots, in num- ber about ten, to elect a scrapping president, who alas, has departed this 'Tute life with sundry other officials. Then the Cane Rush was discussel. This rush was to take place Saturday and a cry of Money for vaseline,or you won't get out, coming from four husky men, met an instant shower of money. About twenty-ftve Sophs appeared lin undress uniform of pants, etc., Cetc., vaselinej, while we put on the ground about thirty-flve or forty-men. At the pistol shot greenish-yellow greased lightning was plentiful and the stick was not sticky any longer. After our victory of the afternoon the Sophs told us they had let us have the rush, but that they would make up for it by meeting us in an informal way while we were celebrating our win with the band. VV e met them, it was on Grand Street hill and we met them good and hard and marched up the hill, turned around and marched down again. Wfe kept our flag away from Naughty-eight, Victory No. 2. Again the routine of school went on and we rushed every day. litls funny how many fellows rush every day and still some get d's or n. s. e.'s. Then the Fateful time arrived for another rush. Recitations should be suspended at this critical time, as we have no time for such trivial things. So far the score is two victories for the Class of 1909. Then came the Flag Rush. The Sophs of 'OS boasting more knowledge of it than we did ourselves, knowing everything but the Hag's location, and that, even, before the posting of the rush notice, rashly allowed almost every fighting man of '09 Qin number about eighty-eightj to get to the stack of Burden's old iron mill. The flag was pasted on a great steel stack about sixty feet high. Our class arrived at about 4 p. m. In a short time mili- tary rule held sway in the old many-doored shack of bricks. These chinks were obstructed a little with young trees. After many false alarms the Sophs came at last and we were there to meet them in an informal way. Sophs and Freshiesfell to with a hearty will in tying each other up. It was a jolly mixup with hardly any light from the battle lanterns hung from beams, dust and feet filled the air as struggling men were cut out one by one by the foxy Sophs. Then they came back for more. About two distinct battles were foughtg frrst, matters ended a little in favor of the Sophs, then at one stage almost all the Class of 'OS was captured and trussed up, but for the lack of a suitable receptacle for them that would keep them jugged, they escaped. And so it went till we were finally all tied up and the Sophs went after the tlag on the stack. One man on top of that stack or a complete roof would have made that tale different. VV ell, about II a. ni. next morning there was a fine, lively jail delivery from the foundry, and we chased hot--foot to Burden's. Alas, we arrived in time to see a skinny Soph sit in a little chair and pull himself up a tack, peel our flag off the stack, slide down and divvy', it up. 1909 was captured with only an hour to spare. Well we it and so did the Sophs and the rush was a present to 'o8. Defeat No. I for 1909, but that was the only one. VVe still have two victories to gloat over. Then we tried rush tactics on Chilly and Prof. Thompson of Bowdoin fame, with his dotty method of marking. But it was no go. Some of us indeed deceived the profs. that we knew all about projections but it was funny how those 4's in shadowsclooked like O's to us in perspective on our cards. Next came exams., the first we had experienced since coming to the Institute. In a few cases those sinning and caught, instead of Ending small n. s. e.'s, found them in capital letters, N. S. E. QNot sufficiently expert in the dangerous skin-exam. game. After a week's rest for the weary we jumped into the stormy C. Efs o-f ,Tute life again. Wfe met hand-to-hand puny Mac. of log fame, and the rest met the same old bunch of math. profs., switched around to make the flunks even in each section. lfVe were kept warm by hot work in Trig. by Prof. MacGiffert, who dubbed us anew in his kindly way something like this: Hello Barnyard, now john Henry Augustus Pete Baldwin, jr., you and William Henry ought to make a Spitzenberg. Miss Elsie Davis and Davison. Come Albany Argus, wake up the Anderson, the Albany Sunbeam. How's that all in one breath? After this work again for a long time. 011 February 12, 1906, the Class of t9o9 left their rush notice at the Eighth Street branch of the R. P. lf. Club and set sail from Lansingburgh with just a few more than the re- quired number of men. Five Sophs, who were following us, were soon induced Cby forcej to accompany us all the way. They came and they were an awfully unsociable lot. At Raymertown the class, with Grand Marshal Lozier and his deputy, Colvin, sat down and enjoyed the bounte- ous repast. VVe left in Raymertown five lordly Sophs, whose description may be seen on any of those posters of Rules for 1909, only slightly paled at the idea of spending a night shoeless in a strange country. The shoes must be remembered as they were greatly missed by those lordly Sophs. VVe arrived-at 3.00 o'clock in the morning and immedi- ately went to bed. The Sophs were greatly wrathed at our way of Winning this rush and making the score three victories for 'o8. Not in malice nor in any other way but as a joke does the Old Spirit of 'og want any of this taken. In the concise language of one ot us XVe ain't done so worse. Our record was only marred by one mis- 4,1 fortune and our career will be watched with interest, the interest taken in the Work of the largest class the Insti- tutc has ever had. Here ends the history of our first year at the R. P. I., and We all hope to be on hand when the roll is called next year with clean cards and luck on our side. ' 1909-here's the end of 1' year of 1909. Yours sincerely, THE CLASS SPIRIT. . 54315- , X,w , . 'e if -.1255 - 31-, is 2 , ..

His death was the result of a complication of diseases, chief of which was inflammation of the Asymptotes superin- duced by the disarrangement of his Cusps and the rectification of his Points of Inilection. Throughout his painful and lingering illness our friend showed great fortitude and remarkable tenacity in his struggle for life. His end was hastened by an operation for the purpose ot locating his Maxima and Minima, performed by the Witch of Agnesi, with several families of curvesn in attendance. Our deep sorrows, it is feared, will make us desperate, so we have decided to drown them in the flowing bowl, which will be found at Pilsner Hall, The funeral cortege will leave our main office at 7:30 P. M.. January 27, 1906. As a friend of the deceased you will kindly be present at the obsequies. Yours very respectfully, The Naughty Eight Co. ' Per Committee.

Eighty-two years ago Stephen van Rensselaer 'feftablifhedu the school on the hill, the oldest engineering school in America. In these eighty odd years Rensselaer has had many reverses and many advances 3 fire has been a frequent visitor. But after each disaster the 'Tute has risen from the ruins stronger than before, like the old giant of mythology, whose strength was redoubled each time he was thrown to earth. In this way the fire of IQO4 has proved a blessing in disguise. 'llVl1C1'C before we had one building now we have two. Due to the untiring elforts of the Director and the Faculty, we are to have a new Institute that will far excel the old destroyed school. A visitor to Troy, in order to see the 'Tute, will go up Broadway past the Gymnasium, up the new granite approach, past the old Chemical Laboratory and up through our CAMPUS to the terrace on which stand the Carnegie Lecture I-Iall, the new Chemical Laboratory and the Electrical Labora- tory. These new buildings are going to mean a great deal to Institute life and Institute spirit. Since the fire, classes have been scattered all over the city, so that men very rarely met anybody not in their own sections, and almost never niet any of the other classes. The natural result of this has been a decline in Institute spirit. There have been some exceptions, but in the main, lack of interest in everything pertaining to Institute life has been the rule. VVhen a Senior class is too indifferent to have an insert, the class picture and the history of the Senior Survey, in the T ransitg when team managers are elected by a total vote of twenty-tive or thirty men, who have the spirit to come to a Union meeting, when the three im- portant officers of the Union are elected by a white ballot, when a Transit goes to press without a single literary contribution of any sort from the whole Institute, some- thing is the matter. VV e look for the cure in the inter- mingling of all classes at the new Institute, the daily sessions in the lobby as 'of old, the better acquaintance of student with student. And surely these things will come about. It doesn't take a dreamer of fancies to see students lounging around the campus and up and down the stairway, to see all freshmen under green buttoned caps, all on their own side of the lobby: to see keen competition for places on all teams and general interest in all Institute gaH1S52 in a word, to see a school in the place of several scattered bands of students, united only by a name. The fact that Institute customs have survived the period since the fire is proof that a better time is to come, and it is up to the three classes remaining in the Institute next year to make Rensselaer spirit a term placed in highest honor by the student body and by other schools and colleges. xv- xv- Tu' Eiensselarr Snunga printed the words sting to A Son of Qld Rensselaer Since then no attention has been gn en to Tute songs although several nevx ones have come up. These have not been sung because they were not generally known by the students and it is to start a DME YEARS ago, one of the Transits this book to The song the music is lasting collection of Rensselaer songs that the Transit has given up some pages of songs, old and new. Heres to Old R. P. If is wholly local: by Professor Fales and the words a sort of conglomeration of everybody's opinion. Vlferhope the music may prove popular enough to cause more and better verses to be composed for this song. The verses to the air of Mr. Dooleyf' Qwhich air, by the way, the words fit very closelyl, originated with the Pittsburg 6 Alumnig the last verse is for the use of grads. exclusively. We have reprinted the old familiar songs of the 'Tute, so as to make this as complete as possible. We hope this new departure of the Transit may meet favor, and may lead to a better general knowledge of Rensselaer songs. 'Q 'Q .A-. was Ellie lgnlgtvrhntr N THE words of the last ten or twelve T ransits the Polytechnic has just coni- pleted another successful year owing to the able efforts of the Editors, and we wish to congratulate them on their success. The Polytechnic has always had a high place among technical papers, owing to the contributions of graduates, and this year this standing has been well kept up. But a new move for the better has been made. The paper has lately been more of a 'Tute publicationg has dealt more with Institute doings and events than formerly. Wfhile the Poly has a high standing technically with our graduates, still it is the only school organ of the students, except the Transit, and the work and interest of the students deserve a fair share oflits pages. We desire to commend the attention of the old Board to this phase of the Polytechnic's publication, and hope that this work will be carried on by the new Board, to whom we wish all success. R l 2-Xthlriirn interest shown in athletics in the past year. Our teams have not been much above the average run of lastitute teams' but the backing they have rcceivcd from the llute as a whole has been encouraging. Last autumn before the Middlebury game. the students formed down town and marched up to the Laureate field with a band at the head of the procession. A little more of such spirit as this would soon lead to winning teams. The Institute will never turn out top-notch teams unless the captains and managers and individual players know that the spirit and enthusiasm of the whole undergradu- ate body are back of them. As conditions are now, there is no incentive to the players to train and keep in good condition, and the result is inevitable. A New York paper characterized the football team as hthe best team of cigarette smokers that ever came to Fordamf' HERE has been a marked advance in the C 1 'I I I A 1 As usual, the basketball team stood better than the other teams, but at that received very little support from the students. Basketball seems to thrive better than any other game at Rensselaer. The hockey team, while it had good material, petered out from lack of practice, mainly due to the poor skating this winter afforded us. Baseball prospects are bright, but it is too early to pre- dict with certainty anything of the team. May it re- ceive better support than the foregoing teams. An unusual interest was shown in the indoor meet, which developed the fact that Rensselaer has some good track men. On the whole. it seems that athletics is on the upward path, and that when we are all together again in the new buildings, new Institute spirit will bring better teams. 'Q 252 oe.. cn. Elie ifltrrrinr ITI-I ALL the absorption of regular study and in the added interest in the new Insti- tute, we all have felt a loss: the absence of the Director, Professor Ricketts. Soon after Commencement he left for the Conti- nent to travel for his health. In his journey- ings he has visited Venice and Rome in Italy, and has made a trip up the Nile River to the great dam at Assuan. In all his letters to Troy he has written only about the new Institute and has told of his travels, but no word of his health. The whole 'Tute takes this silence as golden, and hopes that next year we may commence work in the new buildings with Director Ricketts at the head, fully i N K me 1-' an 1 restored to good health. - any ag. im. at A. REAT INTEREST in this organization has been shown during the past few months by ,- a number of graduates. At a meeting called by Mr. Evans, '95, the present needs of the Institute Y. M. C. A. were discussed and the work done in other colleges was presented by men thoroughly familiar with student life. At that meeting it was decided to raise sufficient funds to employ a Secre- tary for the Student Y. M. C. A. A committee, consist- ing of the following well-known members of the Alumni Association, are now soliciting funds: N. P. Lewis, l7QQ ,gl 5 K 1 r.. H. VV. Hodge, '85g C. A. Soper, 295, E. deP. Hone, ,975 M. E. Evans, '95. Further interest was aroused by Dr. Soperis article in the April Polytechnic, in which the presenticonditions of the school life and the need for a strong and influential Y. M. C. A. were clearly stated. Now that the work of upbuilding our Y. M. C. A. has been started so well, it is time for the students to do their part. The Alumni can supply funds, but the real work of making the organization a power for good must be done by the students themselves. Remember that the only way you can secure a good thing is by good earnest effort. Let every man lend this strength to the movement during the coming year and make the Y. M. C. A. a power in our midst. are 'tfwf.a'ge'sfQ5Vt A X ,mmw annum J. I K . 1 A f X ' 'AX' 1- 99 'Q T! fi, T6 168 , 3 Q 43 ' Q Q0 0 4 ' fi 4 -. 4, an ' fx-.

The south side, fac- ' ing the roadway, which leads from Eighth Street to the old Xlfarren residence, is the front. The west and north sides each measure 85 feet, while the front has a width of 43 feet, not including the 42 feet of the extension to the east as shown in the elevation. The building is lireproof throughout. The outside OCATED between Carnegie Hall and the A J D A A A if ii i 1 I 4 walls are of genuine New England Harvard brick. laid up in Flemish bond, with dark brown headers. and all stone work is o-f cream colored Indiana limestone. The floors and roof are of cinder concrete, reinforced by the Roebling system, while the floor beams arerof steel, sup- ported by cast iron columns. A stone cornice and a cop- per roof add much to the design. The inside stairs are of wrought iron, with slate treads and iron risers. The floors in the rooms are of hard wood while terrozo is used in the halls. The building is provided with a com- plete system of electric and gas fixtures for lighting pur- poses. The basement contains the largest and most complete assay laboratory in this country. The main room, fifty- one feet by nfty-six feet, provides accommodation for seventy-four men at one time. Along the eastern wall are located eighteen muffie furnaces for gold and silver assay, while along the south side are fourteen pot furnaces for crucible assaying. Each of these furnaces is provided with a separate Hue, formed of eight-by-eight-inch tile, built into the brick walls, so that all danger of frre is eliminated. The working desks are arranged in four series, three in the center and one along the north side of the room. These desks have alberene stone tops, sup- ported on standards of gas pipe. Beneath the desk will be two drawers for each man. Three sinks, with running water, and three anvil tables are located at convenient points. One of the best features of the room, at least from the standpoint of the student. is that the desks are placed so that they will be far removed from the furnaces. The floor of this room is made of cement and all of the apparatus of incombustible material. Along the west side of the basement is located the fol- lowing: A supply room, nineteen by fourteen, provided with necessary shelves. drawers, tables and a hood: an engine room, in which heating coils and a blower are lo- cated to force heated air through the building g a quanti- tative laboratory, forty-three by sixteen, which accommo- dates twenty-two men.

There are two well-lighted balance rooms. The balances rest upon alberene stone shelves, hung from 172 heavy brick walls. There is a room for the storage of chemicals and apparatus, and two small rooms for coal, wood and coke. The latter rooms are provided with chutes, so that these materials may be unloaded from the outside. In addition to the above there is a large cloak room and a room for sulphuretted hydrogen generators. The qualitative laboratory is about eighty feet from east to West and nity feet from north to south. Accom- modations for one hundred nity men are provided. The desk tops are of alberene stoneg in the center and running longitudinally are glass shelves for the reagent bottles. Ample room for the storage of apparatus is provided by closets and drawers which occupy the space beneath the desk tops. A solid porcelain sink is provided for each man. Individual water and gas fixtures are lo- cated conveniently. A The entire space along the east and the west walls is devoted to apparatus for common use. In the corners are the spectroscopes. The I-I2S is supplied by a large generator in the basement and distributed to six hoods, each of which contains six outlets, so that thirty-six men can be supplied with the gas at once. For boiling or evaporating six hoods are used. Four of these contain six gas burners each, so that twenty-four men can be accommodated at one time, while in the other two, accom- modations for evaporation over steam for forty men are provided. Supplies will be issued from a room shown at the left and the substances for analysis from the one on the right. Ample light is provided by sixteen large windows in the walls and a large skylight over the eastern half of the room. The problem of ventilation has been solved by introducing a forced air supply. A large fan in the basement blows the air, previously heated by passing over steam coils, through ducts to numerous openings in the room. Various openings in the walls allow the gases, etc., to escape up the chimneys. The ventilation is further aided by large openings around the skylight well, In this laboratory are combined the best features found in the laboratories of other colleges, so that it may be said with truth that this room is not only the largest, but also the best of its kind to be found in any of the American colleges or universities. The supply and instructors' rooms, together with the library, are provided with balconies which are reached by spiral stairs. A large coatroom is pro- vided on this floor, while the space above will be utilized as a room for special work. Entrance to the latter is made from the landing on the main stairway. The second Hoor of the building contains a lecture room, similar in plan to the present one, but with greatly increased seating capacity. In the front part of this floor are two rooms, each I6 ft. X 9 ft., one for Gas Analysis and the other for Qrganic Combustion and Research. Dr. Mason's private laboratory, a large room provided with necessary apparatus for original research work, is on this floor also. The water room and a class room occupy the third l'lOO1'. In the former are placed the ammonia stills, sterilizers, incubators, hoods. etc., necessary for such work. A balcony in the rear of the lecture hall, on which is placed stereopticon apparatus, is entered from this floor. Qlurnrgir Krall ARNEGIE HALL, located on the hill, about 200 feet east of Eighth Street, with its center line coincident with that of Broad- way, occupies a commanding position. The structure consists of four stories and a basement. The building, 100 feet wide by 60 feet in depth, closely resembles the Chemical Laboratory so far as the mater- ial of which it is constructed is concerned. The basement and all trimmings are of sandstone and the remainder is of red I-Iarvard brick, laid in Flemish bond with black headers. Access to the building is obtained from the terrace which runs in front of all three buildings. After passing through the vestibule, the entrance hall is reached. On either side of this hall is a lobby, while directly ahead are the stairs which lead to the corridor of the first floor, only a few feet higher. This vestibule, entrance hall, lobbies and all corridors have high tile wainscoting, and terrazzo fioors. The stairs occupy a well in the center of the building at the front. They are finished in keep- ing with the other portions of the building and have iron risers with marble treads. The basement contains toilet rooms, appartments for the janitor, storage space, a large room for the use of students who desire to study between classes, and a room for the Editors of the Polytechnic. In addition to the lobbies already mentioned, the first floor will contain four large class rooms, two of which have a private room for the professor adjoining and a well equipped room for the storage of instruments. The second Hoor is divided into seven large class rooms, and two private rooms, while on the third Hoor are four class rooms and a drawing room about SQ ft. X 45 ft. All the class rooms throughout the building have wood CARNEGIE HALL. Hoors, cement baseboards, ample blackboard accommoda- tions and each one has adjoining a closet for the storage of apparatus and supplies. The fourth Hoor will be used as a drawing room. Ample light is secured from large skylights in the roof while an unobstructed tloor space is secured by support- ing the roof on trusses which span the full width of the building. At the south end of the Hoor are two rooms, one for the instructor and the other equipped for blue printing. The building throughout is constructed to resist fire. The Floor-system is of the usual structural steel design, while the floors are of reinforced cinder-concrete, and the walls of wire lath supported by steel studs. i The building is provided with gas and electric fixtures. The heating svstem is supplied with steam from the boilers in the Electrical Laboratory. . :YL it em. .A Fihr Nun Appruarh m un part of the Institute up the hill, the T111lS1tS the Poli tcchnic has just com- buildino to Troy on condition that the city build an ornamental stairway leading from the Gymnasium up to Eighth Street. The city appropriated 340,000 for this stairway, and work has been carried on for some- thing over a month., This will make a very handsome approach to the lnstitute, and make a fitting ornament for the head of Broadway. At present the work is too incomplete for a picture to give any idea of the final appearance, and the architects have not made FTER it was iinally determined to move the a perspective of the stairway, so we have to be content with description. The total rise from the Gymnasium to Eighth Street is fifty feet, in all eighty-three steps with six platforms. The stairway will be the full width of the street, sixty feet, from the foot to the Hrst platform. From these to the Hfth platform the steps will be twenty-eight feet wide, with a fifteen foot garden enclosed by a stone coping on each side. The fifth platform will be sixty feet wide. with the steps dividing and going up in two flights fif- teen feet wide on each side of the sixth platform. which will be fifteen feet long and on the level of Eighth Street. The wall of this platform facing the fifth landing will be decorated with ornamental carving, and a stone balnstrade will run around the top of the platform. On this balustrade will be four bronze supports holding arc lamps. Qther arc lamps will be placed on each side half- way down the stairway, and there will be two clusters at the tops of two lonic columns placed at the foot of the approach. The stairway is to be made of granite, the stone being furnished by the Albany Flint Granite Co. The contract calls for work to be finished by the first of November, and autumn should see all work on the Institute fully com- pleted. 175 .Z Zluninr Svnrurg Qlnunh Blake-Svrriiun 6,5112 OUND LAKE was in the midst of a rain storm when Section One arrived, which may account for the reception we didn't . receive. After we had located our headquarters at the Flowery Orient, we looked the town over,-it didn't take very long either. XV e found the population to consist mainly of gray squirrels and grocer's boys, but we were told that people did live there sometimes 5 it probably was when they couldn't help it. Professor Rousseau invited us out for a walk in the afternoong he picked out the steepest hill he could find and then it was up to us. In looking over our land we found a bull g and Chamber- lin, who comes from the wild and Woolly west, started in to hypnotize him, but the bull wouldn't hyp. and D. VV. climbed the fence. The only other thing of real interest which we found was a watermelon patch. Polaris was indisposed that evening so we could not 6 see her. XfVe spent the rest of the evening electing officers and trying to choke off Cottrell, who persisted in sug- gesting nexv yells for Section One. The officers were: Blair, Skipperg Chamberlin, Chief Buglerg Cottrell, President of Debating Society. Tuesday morning Coghill narrowly escaped being shipped to Ballston, but after some hard work we per- suaded the agent that Coghill wasn't the livestock re- ferred to in the bill. Dave didn't really want to leave the place-his only objection to it was that the clerk tried to sell him Yale matches instead of R. P. I. ones. VVe knew the Skipper was a smart man, but We really clidn't appreciate his greatness till we saw him run the level. He could take a back sight of .o05, and it didn't make any difference to him whether the rod was right end up or not. His error of closure was never more than :zo feet in half a mile. Even though Round Lake was a dry town Section One always had Beers with them during the day. But he was sent home every night for it was feared that if Lcibee and Britton got too much of him, the rough- house which they started every night might get Section One in trouble. The Held work was finished on the twenty-fifth and that night we started in to copy notes. After working a while Leibee got restless and started out to make a collection of doormats, but he soon got discouraged and came back empty handed. A special meeting of the Town Council was held and we decided to change the name of the placeg and, for fear we might forget about it, we did it at once. The name was changed to Pound Cake and the change gave great satisfaction to all concerned. On the twenty-seventh Section One bade farewell to Round Lake and headed for Troy.

But from what we heard from fellows who came down later, vve're inclined to think a certain strawberry blonde, who dished out the pork and beans, had more to do with his staying than notes did. 17 Svrrtinn Gum Hellabaloo, Hellabaloo, Flowery Orient, Section H.

Count VVilke afforded us the proper means of expressing ourselves at his bum jokes. Ask the Count how much he was paid for the private survey that he made. Next time it is to be hoped that Meyer will have paid his laundry bill so that he will have some dry handker- chiefs to use and not have to keep on borrowing from Patton.

His fondness for waitresses, doggies and cats, VVEIS only outdone by the shape of his hats.

Epriinn Hunt Harper, although an adept at the game, lost two dollars Knowing that sometime or other the public would demand an account of our adventures at Round Lake, N. Y., we kept a record of the daily events connected with our ten day exile in the beautiful little suburb of Maltaville. VVith pleasure would we publish the entire tale but serious objections by Sikesy Allen, who cle- sires to send a copy of the Transit home to the folks, compel us to eliminate the greater part of the most in- teresting matter. We spend most of the first day in memorizing the Rules and Regulations of the Round Lake Association, especial- ly those sections prohibiting the use of cigars, cigarettes, 'fsoda-pop, etc., within the city limits. That night, however Skinner Stowe and Sikesy, eluding the ever watchful officials, smuggled a case of XX QI think that's what they called itj over the border, whereupon the bunch proceeded to make merry. Poker was in order. The game waxed warm, the cup went roundv and jollity resounded throughout the house. Sections F ive and Six were disturbed. T hey arose from their beds, Hhikedl' themselves down to the back yard, and there, armed with about one bushel of the landlady's red, ripe tomatoes, did give vent to their indignation by consigning samples of the luscious fruit through the open window into the midst of Section Four's assemblage. They succeeded in breaking up the game together with a mirror and two pictures that happened to be in range. XV e might men- tion that T hon1py lostthree dollars and Knifer ' 18 and thirty cents. The next day, while most of the bunch were down at the postofhce, Massive Sausage Krieger called a meet- ing of himself and Sedalia Stanley for the purpose of electing a captain of the section. After calling the session to order, Massive Sausage arose and said that the regu- lar order of business, if there were one, would be laid aside and that they would proceed at once to the election of captain before the bunch got back, and further, that he would nominate himself as a candidate for the posi- tion. Sedalia moved that the nominations be closed. The motion was carried and Massive Sausage observed that he was unanimously elected and that the meeting was adjourned sine die. Massive really made a good cap- tain, so good, in fact, that his election to that office on the Senior Survey is practically assured. Vlfe closed our first polygon in the morning and would have done another in the afternoon if it had not been necessary to suspend operations in order to allow .Sikesy and Skinner to go duck hunting. Thompy went exploring for arrow heads and round stones, The Knifer and Chic left for Ballston, while Sedalia and Massive Sausage, ever thoughtful of the future, set about making their collections of botanical specimens. Friday was the really eventful day. Thompy came down with the, pip, Sedalia,' actually felt well, the barber took off a large poition of Sikesyls left ear, and last, but not least, the leveling party located bench mark twenty-three, important, not because of its significance skidoo, but because it was from there that we received those fine chocolate cakes and pies. We can almost taste'em now. Friday night too, was the night of the memorable Marvin Hart seance in Bayly's 'room. A few of the lovelorn went home on Saturday. CWe wo11't mention any namesj. Sunday, however, despite Chic's'f predictions that it would be impossibe to do a successful job, the bunch essayed to finish the survey with one large polygon. VV e worked hard. Skinner took some prize notes and Sikesy, who was exercising the Transit, lost account of some forty or nfty degrees on the way around. We looked for those degrees until it got dark, although it was no use. Monday morning, how- ever, Sikesy closed all right and our work was done. lt took us some time to get our notes copied and adjusted, but we managed to catch the afternoon train foreTroy, where we broke our fast in one grand celebr'ation of the achievements of Section Four. 3 T az' iz S-vvrtinn 3131112 The Pennant of 1907 was awarded to Captain Eduardo Albarran of Section Five. The winning of the pennant is largely due to Ed's magnetism personally, for he cer- tainly had a strong influence over his men. lt must be through this personal magnetism of the Captain that Patchke could be sent taking an inventory of a pile of kindling wood, or appraising a farmer's stock by counting the pigs in the farmyard. But it was lack of magnetism on Ed's own behalf when he fell into the creek of muddy water. Wfhen he came out he said to Coleman, It's only now l realize why the fellows laugh when you tell of your mid-winter plunges in the icy waters of Belden's Po-nd. That was only one of Arthur's many stories. Get the boy from the forest wound up on his Cremona or 5-inch radius skates and you have plenty of amusement. Then, there was Harry, that pretty boy. who always looked for the light part of the heavy work. If there was a girl on the scene, Harry would always want Ed. to transfer the 'captainship for the time being. Next in prominence was Martino, Martino, the won- derful Martino. Martinez, in one of his daily arguments THE POUND CAKE BUNCH. with the Captain, illustrated either the super-elevation of the outer-rail, or the crushing strength of pine, by plac- ing a stadia rod on the track before a passing train.

Dutch made a two years' tour of the country taking on all comers at catch weights. He was going to send -limmie out in the business as a bantam weight. Pete Lamb supplied the hotel with celery and water- melons, home-made, as he called them. But that break had nothing on Van Duyne's, he wanted to go out one night after chestnuts. I suppose he meant to make a noise like a squirrel and fool the tree. On giving many compliments to the Captain of Sec- tion Five, much can be said of another in the same office.

It was nothing out of the ordinary to see Bob make a mid-night round of the hotel. to see if all his men were under-cover. pajamas was generally his attire as he promenaded the halls. Evenings were generally passed down in the parlors. Jimmy of the hotel would preside at the piano, violin selections rendered by Bob. If it were an off 'night for jack Allen we might enjoy a solo. Much of the enjoyment of the short survey can be attributed to convenient arrangement of all the sections for hotel accommodations. And on the held the assist- ance of the Professors, who were always on hand. ' A cm. .A Svrtinn Six Upon arriving at Round Lake September 18, IQOS, Professor Rousseau directed use to the Lake View House, where we stayed during our survey. Four men answered to the roll call in the morning, but before night the full section was together: Mandl, Captain, Dugan, Lamb, Latham, Mincher and Van Duyne. 'After adjusting the instruments, the boys went out for a stroll. Van Duyne, after purchasing a box of Nabisco, wandered to the open air meeting house where Andros, Stowe and Allen were resting themselves. Before long the N abiscos were stowed QStow-ed! away by jack Allen and his friends and since then Van was called Nabisco. Our survey consisted of that part of Round Lake bounded cn the north by the road which leads to the station, on the east by the railroad tracks, on the south by a road about a mile below the station and on the west by a zig- zag road. The work the first day was very slow and before long we discovered that the transit 'was out of ad- justment, so bad that it was senti down to Gurleys. Thursday morning the instrument came back from Gurleys and all the boys got out to work, a loss of two days, perhaps, hindering us in finishing on time, but the 18 boys worked consistently and on our return to the hotel Rosey and Dugan ran the level all around the boundary of the survey. establishing bench marks, while Nabisco handled the transit to perfection. This consistency kept up all through our stay at Round Lake, each man having a chance at each of the positions. The evenings would have been very long had there not been any excitement and Section Six certainly contributed their share. lf there were no card games on then probably the boys would be sitting around in the parlor and at nine o'clock Section Six and Bayly would adjourn to No. 15, the Captain's room where excitement in story telling would reign until early in the morning. Those stories of lr1ayly's were great. Good for you Hart And to wind up the evening a midnight lunch of apple pies was gen- erally taken care of. Of course we all knew where 2'Rosey ' and Ike betook themselves oftentimes. 'AIke had a few girl friends up in Ballston, introduced Rosey there and that's all we know of.

Advance Agent Yeomans, miss- ing his usual morning glass of milk, took an early train and secured some vacant stalls at the Medbury Hotel for the bunch. The bunch consisted of Captain 'IPearl Sherrerd, 'ilnsultmg Engineer Easton. Lady Tichenor, Fusser VVelch, and i'Buzzer Sill. At the last minute we were highly honored by being able to secure the ser- vices of the popular Matthews. After the usual preliminaries were over, the Section settled down to work-that is we worked when there was nothing else to do. The first day 'Pearl' and Eusser,' discovered the High School and stood outside waiting for the school maids to come out and get acquainted. They refused. however, so the two went back to the hotel to see the waitresses. Here again they were unfortunate, as the fair ones were completely monopolized by the rest of the bunch and some of the other sections. Yeomans early developed a taste for exploring the country surrounding Ballston and on one of his evening rambles had an exciting encounter with a kissing bug. The details of the affair are not thoroughly known, but it was several weeks before the marks of this experience dissappearecl from his handsome features. Easton was in the habit of giving an informal musicale every evening with the aid of his new mandolin. That mandolin, by the way, has a peculiar history. Easton thinks he bought it in Schenectady, at least, he and Wfelch went there one evening and when they came back Easton was carrying the mandolin. Any information as to where they bought it will be gladly received by Section Eight. To give a variety to his musicales Easton often gave ex- hibitions of his superior muscular development with lec- tures upon Physical Culture. Ask Sherrerd how he was once the subject of one of this modern Sandow's ex- hibitions. V Sill had been saving his allowance for this Survey and soon found a chance to show the Ballston maids how recklessly they spend money in Cohoes. Going to a church fair one evening he came back loaded down with hair pins, pocket books, shoe strings, needles, etc., thereby establishing himself in Ballston society. This Lady Killer spent his spare time in collecting a Menagerie. He managed to entrap a Goat, but when for his next acquisition he secured a cock-roach, which so delighted him that he insisted upon exhibiting it at the dinner table. the Section firmly put a stop to his circus tendencies. Ask Buzzer how he won the heart and admiration of one of the waitresses. P As we were in no particular hurry to finish our work, Section Eight was the last Section to leave the Spa. Several of the more susceptible members-Yeomans, Easton, Sherrerd and Sill-were induced by their new found affinities to remain in Ballston until the very last day before the regular work in Troy began. if ik an .Ax Bastian Nine When the six scouts of Section Nine first hit Ballston they thought they were fairly well off. Twenty-four hours later they were sure of it. That illustrious bird, the Eagle, has stood for a great deal, but when Section Nine rolled into her portals there was no more. The work we did was neither of the quality or quan- tity of our fun, but this must be laid to the fact that there were other attractions besides a transit and level rod. lf the survey did nothing else, it at least brought out tl1e various faults and good points of the bunch. A few side lights on some of these would prove in- teresting in a dime museum. For a speedy, reliable engineer, we would recommend Nick Carter. That he is no slouch. with an instrument may be proven by the fact that it never took him more than 20 minutes by a stop watch to set up. Nick avers, however, that he has done it in 19. Gui' Captain, H. C. Chalfant, C. N. I. T., spent a busy two weeks. Between waking the bunch, and trying to get a little work out of the tall blonde Babcock, he grew thin and pale. As he accomplished neither, he gave this as an excuse for leaving for Troy on the first train possible. If anyone knows other reasons, please remit. Gardenier, alias the Duke of Schodack, was also a worker. All work and no play is the Duke's motto. Even in his moments of recreation the serious side 'of life appealed to him, and when his manly form showed up behind a baby carriage it was a sight .for the gods. Poor Duke, between waiting on the steps for young laidies, who never came, and making allowances for Hugheys slow work, his life was miserable. - Even the nobleman from the South of Albany, was forced to admit that Hugheyls work at the Hreside was far from slow, and even to this day the Duke salaams before the judge. 187 Taylor, our far famed college man, he of the tennis racquet and manly ways shown like a june bug on a summers night.

A Q'- cas. .4-.. Svvrtirm Em It has always been the custom of the Institute to dis- tribute the good men among the different sections as evenly as possible: but this year, by some oversight, she gave section ten an all star cast, which probably accounts for its evident superiority over all other sec- tions. Vlfith Mag VVard as the untiring Stevens of the party, the work was accomplished so thoroughly and quickly, that Prof. Chillman was forced to send them home three days before any other section, that their idle- ness might not bring dissatisfaction in the ranks. And yet, it could least of all have been called a 'fpillingn sec- them were such confirmed and noted Ronan and PigeonU jova, the in- grafter, while even 'fThompyl' could without making a face.

And yet, when all their efforts failed, even joe jova could work off his ill humor on Pewee Nathan, who hadn't had his show at the transit. Poor boy! He was abused, but they simply couldnt always carry a box around for him to stand on. Even Prof. Chillman was overpowered by the skill of the section, though some of their methods were decidedly original and their elevations were temporarily disturbed by the casting of Martins shoes upon the waters of the Kayadcrosseross. Under the able management of Mollie and the expert supervision of Charles, the level went under sundry contortions and subsequent adjustments, but they were all there with the goods when the finish came in sight, for the rodman called back, checked, Since then the stars have gone their several waysg but such distinction have they won that each requires a pri- vate secretary to refuse the innumerable positions that are being daily proHered them by the leading engineers of the country.

AL AE Sertiun Ghirleeu This bunch of self-elected surveyors set out for Balls- ton with a few rods and instruments to see just what that town possessed from hills to swamps, and they cer- tainly got their fill. From the first sight of the ground we had to survey, we began to think that the section number was a hoodoo or else the professors knew we were capable of almost anything. We were all so enthusiastic over being captain of such a noble bunch of pills QU that we drew lots from the hat as if we were deciding who should die next. Well, the lot fell to Reed and that was a starter for a Thirteen Sec- tion. Fogarty, whom we could all trust to work, UQ and who was ever so accurate, got one block with the stadia in four days and it is said that he Hnally got off that point when Professor Chillman moved the point and pushed him off. I-linky Dee, who was ever forgetting what was the next thing to do, decided he wanted the' rod on all the long shots and made a record for himself as a long dis- tance runner. Forgetting the hard workers, we must mention the way some of this bunch broke the maidens' hearts at Ballston. Grant and Easton always had one on each arm and a new 189 one every night. lt was finally decided that they made a better success of this than closing polygons. Our Cap- tain, in whom we trusted, also lost his heart, and one night also the last car, for at six a. m. next morning R. B. could be seen in the pale dawn making for the Eagle Hotel after a six mile walk. For once he wished the old bird had wings. . NV e must not forget our little water boy, Bradbury, who got his honorable position from his alertness and strength.

If the old river could talk it would surely put-up a protest against being so badly treated as it always is. This year it was up to '07 to repeat the same old stunts done so many times before. Some rum phases of the strenuous life were brought to light of which a great number of our men knew little, and now know little more than then. - After a delay of an hour or two we succeeded in per- suading the boatman that the bunch was O. K. and got four boats for lkey Mincher and Pete Lamb QS. H. PJ to use in their famous water carnival. Between acts the boats were used for the transportation of the men and in- struments from one station to another. For three days iii' ll an . N the men struggled with triangles that refused to close or be closed and the best results were obtained by those who could best juggle the notes, On Thursday something new came in the way of soundings, which was performed by five men, a boat and a long pole. For three hours the old river was jabbed most unmercifully. At the end of this time Professor Rousseau called time and the Hudson was allowed to flow peacefully on. There was one place on the work sought after more than any other: this was tide-gauge inspector. This will not be surprising when told that a private launch Q?j was provided for this official. Matthews, as Senior memberu of this survey, was awarded this position much to the satisfaction of all concerned.

The big rush of the year came October 27, when at 4:30 p. m., the Freshmen posted the notice that their Hag was up. They made no secret of where the flag Was, but formed in a body at the Chemical Lab. and marched down to South Troy. Here the flag was glued to the west side of the smoke stack, some seventy feet high, of the abandoned plant of the T roy Steel and Iron Com- pany. The Freshmen camped in the empty boiler house beside the stack. The organization of 'OS soon showed up. Using automobiles as police carts, they picked up all stray Fresh- men and bundled them away in their jail near Hoosick Street. About midnight the Sophs made their attack on THE soPHoMoREs' JAIL. the defenders of the stack and a scrap royal followed on the brick strewn and dusty Floor of the boiler house. This ended with the capture of a few Freshmen, but left some twenty Sophs in the hands of 'o9. From that time on, the Freshmen started to desert, and were picked up outside by waiting Sophs. , Smaller scraps and escaping prisoners kept things lively until seven in the morning, when '08 attacked in force, and after some real old fashioned scrapping, tied up the remaining Freshmen and were free to try for the flag. I9 After an attempt to reach the llag by ladders from the outside had failed, the Sophs. got the assistance of a couple of riggers, and built a scaffolding inside the chim- ney. They managed to get a rope through a hole in the platform with which the Freshman had covered the top of the smoke-stack, and soon raised a block and tackle on the outside. VVood, '08, was then hoisted up to the I X i VICTORY FOR THE SOPI-IS. i Hag, and had it clown at 12:57 p. m. In the meantime many of the Freshmen had escaped, but arrived on the scene too late, and thus it was that IQO8 won the Hag rush. 1909 held the sleigh ride banquet at Raymerstown, the second week in February. But few Freshmen turned out and it seems from all reports that many were not told, for fear of the Sophomores Ending out about the rush. F earful that the Sophs would easily overcome their small gobbled their banquet, cutting speeches and toasts, and hurried back to Troy. The Sophomores located the banquet in flue time, but were some forty-five minutes late in arriv- ing, and so 1909 won a rather inglorious victory. 1908 held their banquet in peace in Schenectady, without a single Freshman turning up to disturb them. numbers, they hastily out all the customary T1-IE RENSSELAER OBSERVATORY and great 40-in.

Inasmuch as the assigned Quiz. in Mechanics was too long to be possibly covered in an evening, he had spent the night out in Albany. Alarm clock set for quarter of six. - tAs the alarm goes off, the student, averse to getting up because of the great lack of calories in the room, heaves a shoe at the clock. Owing to the refractive effect of a night spent in Albany, he sees two clocks and throws at the wrong one, permanently retiring a plaster skull tobacco jar from the active list. Prohting by experience, he throws a second shoe at the other clock, and this time succeeds in turning offl' the alarm. Finally gets up at 8:30, breakfast at quarter of nine and starts for the Chemical Lab. l r Arriving some fifteen minutes late, he calmly explains to Tommy'l, together with some fifteen other A1- 19 banyites, that he missed his train, then guesses the answer to his question in Quiz. and gets some much needed sleep, broken at times by the laughter aroused by T01nmy's kidding. After lunch and a little heavy studying on Astronomy, puts on his snowball clothes and scraps his way up the hill to the Ranken House, joins the mob and himself helps send R. B's nice new. pretty 35.00 Dunlap to the place where all good hats go. After writing out his Astronomy paper, he slumbers peacefully, dreaming of a Cheshire cat, which occasionally smiles. Do you catch ? at him. Cn leaving class, he joins the mob in snow balling again, till the cop appears, then back to his room and dinner. Afterwards out to the theatre to rest his overworked mind from the pressure of arduous study. Thus ends a sample day.
