His father, Doctor Robert A. Hunt, a graduate of Princeton College, and the University of Pennsylvania, was a successful practicing physician, and was of the Trenton, N. J., branch of the Hunt family. His mother, Martha Lancas er WVoolston, was of a well-known Quaker family of Pennsylvania. Owing to failing health, Doctor Hunt gave up his practice and moved to Coving- I ton, Ky., where he died in 1855, leaving his widow and only child, Robert, who had to assume a man's duties. After continuing his father's drug business for two years, impaired health compelled him to relinquish it. He moved to Pottsville, Pa., and, after a short rest, entered the iron rolling mill of john Burnish Sz Co., and devoted several years to acquiring by actual work a practical knowledge of puddling, heating, rolling, and other details of the iron business. In I85Q he entered the laboratory of Booth, Garrett Sz Reese, and took a course of analytical chemistry. In 1860 he was employed by the Cambria Iron Co. of Johnstown, Pa., as chemist, and established a laboratory at their works. It was the first instance in America of an iron and steel company having a laboratory as part of their organization. Tn the spring of 1861, he assisted in starting the Elmira Rail Mill at Elmira, N. Y. That fall he entered the U. S. military service and in the fall of 1862 was in command of the U. S. Camp of Rendezvous, known as Camp Curtin at Harrisburg, Pa., with the rank of Captain. In 1863 he served as Mustering Officer for the State of Pennsylvania. In 1864 he assisted i.1 recruiting Lambert's Independent Mounted Company, P. V., and was 7 mustered in the U. S. service as a Sargeant, having tossed up with a friend as to which should take a Lieuten- ant's commission. Following this service, Mr. Hunt returned to Johnstown, and on Mav Ist, 1865, was sent by the Cambria Company to represent them at the experimental pneumatic fliessemerj Steel Plant at Wyandotte, Michigan. VVhile VVinslow, Griswold 81 Holley had built an experimental plant at Troy, N. Y., under an arrangement with Bessemer, an association of other iron and steel companies had built another plant at Wyari- dotte under the patents of VVm. Kelly and Robert Mushet. Mr. Hunt assumed charge of this in July, 1865, and remained for about a year, when he returned to Johnstown, the Cambria Company intending to erect a Besse- mer plant at once. This was not commenced for several years, but, in the meantime, he took charge of the roll- ing of steel rails by the Company in their Johnstown mill. from ingots produced in the Pennsylvania Steel Co.'s W'orks, Steelton, Pa., that Company's rail mill not being completed. These were the first commercial steel rails rolled in America, all previous ones having been experimental, and not to apply on orders. Mr. Hunt assisted George Fritz, Chief Engineer of the Cambria Co., in designing and erecting a Bessemer plant for that Company, and assumed charge of its operation upon its completion in July, 1871. In September, 1873, Mr. Hunt left Cambria and entered the employ of John A. Griswold S Co., Troy, N. Y., taking charge of their steel plant. Later, upon the consolidation of that Company with Messrs. Corning Sz Co., of the same place, he became the General Superintendent of the new organization known as the Albany K Rens- selaer Steel 8z Iron Co., and later of their successor, the Troy Iron 8: Steel Co. During those years he almost completely re-built the various works of the Company, and also erected a large blast furnace plant of the most complete character. Mr. Hunt has taken out several letters patent on steel and iron metallurgical processes and machinery, both individually, and in conjunction with John E. Fry, Wm. R. Jones, Dr. August Wenclel, and Max. M. Suppes. The Hunt-Jones-Suppes rail mill feed tables are used under licenses by the majority of the rail mills in the United States. In 1866 he married Eleanor Clark, daughter of George Clark, Esq., of Ecorse, Michigan. B During his residence in Troy. he served three terms as Commander of john A. Griswold Post No. 328, G. A. R., resigning that position in the spring of 1888, when he changed his place of residence. In April of that year he removed to Chicago and established the since world-wide known firm of Robert WV. Hunt 81 Co., Inspect- ing and Consulting Engineers, with headquarters at Chicago, and having offices in Pittsburg. New York, St. Louis, San Francisco, London, Montreal, City of Mexico, and Buenos Ayres. In 1883 Mr. I-Iunt was President of the American .Institute of Mining Engineers, and was again elected to that position in 1906. I'Ie is Past-.President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and of the West-- crn Society of Engineers. I-Ie is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, The Institution of Civil Engineers, the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of INay Association, and the American Society for Testing Materials. I-le was a member of the Executive Committee of the Advisory Board in relation to Structural Materials and Mineral Resources appointed by President Roosevelt, and, following the dissolution of that body, has been retained as Consulting Engineer to the Technologie Branch of the U. S. Geological Survey. He is a Trustee of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N. Y., and a member of the Boards of various industrial companies. He has contributed liberally to the papers and discussions of the several technical socie- ties of which he is a member, and has frequently lectured before the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and the Graduating Class of the Rensselaer Institute, Sibley College, Cornell University, and the University of VVis- cousin. Mr. I-Iunt is a member of the Chicago Club, Engineers Club of Chicago, Saddle and Cycle Club, South Shore Country Club, Illinois Athletic Club, Chicago Golf Club, Duquesne Club of Pittsburgh, Engineers Club of New York, Glen View Club, and Mexico City Country Club. 9 Y wWMm llrnazelavr Ignlgtrrhnir Blnutitutr Qlge QDlheat Enginerring Srrhnul in Amvrira E112 iilenszelarr ignlgterlynir Jlnatiiutr was fnunheh in 1824 hy the late 151111.

The New Gymnasium . ,,,, t , T-Ill movement for a new gymnasium has been agitated ever since the lnstitute moved to the sf b. b present site on the hill. The old gymnasium is entirely inadequate for the needs of the number of students now attending the institute and its situation, so far away from the other buildings Q Q E and the athletic held, makes it unsuitable for the purposes of the school. The Alumni Association took up this movement at the annual meeting last june and I , 5 j appointed a committee to take up the matter of collecting funds for the purpose. Tracy C. Drake, '86, is Chairman and at the mid-winter reunion, held in Chicago last February, he announced that very good progress was being made towards collecting the required amount. The illustration presented herewith shows the proposed gymnasium as designed by Lawlor 81 Haase of New York under the direction of Dr. NV. L. Robb. The new building is to be located on the campus adjacent to the athletic field, and the architecture will correspond with the other buildings, the structure being of Harvard brick and limestone. The building will be three stories high with basement, eighty by ioo feet in dimensions, with a projection in the middle of the front containing the stairways and entrance vestibules. The basement will contain a swimming pool thirty by eighty feet, a locker room, with Q34 steel lockers, a steam room, filtration plant, toilets and wash room and a lounging reom nineteen and a half by forty-two and a half feet in dimensions. The hrst floor will contain a large entrance lobby, the Physical Directors office, dressing and measuring rooms, a fenc- ing room and a boxing and wrestling room. There will also be a basketball court thirty-seven by Ioo feet and a squash court sixteen by thirty-one feet, both two stories in height. The remainder of the second floor will be taken up with four bowling alleys and a balcony looking out upon the basketball court. The entire third Ho-or will be taken up by the gymnasium proper, with an elevated running track, twenty laps to the mile, and balcony seats in the corners. lt is estimated that such a building can be built and equipped for from 3I25,ooo to SI5o,ooo. These plans are very tentative and we only wish that such a proposed building had been in existence here during our course, so that we might have enjoyed some of the benefits. 19 l ,,-,Q . - 14 xxx, ff -., , xffgffgl X fi N1 W '4'i 'Q Ssor Frofcssor x ' x'Li'fg.i2ff' Professor' W sims Meihemqfics.

Of such there have been none, for, be it known, we are Seniors and orderly men. Indeed, if with the intention of completing the history of our class we would write an epitome of the record of the past months of our Senior year, we could properly say, it has been one continuous looking forward to the future, and, let us remark, not without both joy and confidence. As is well known the Class of 1911 was the largest in the history of the Institute, it having entered with a membership of nearly three hundred: and, although the number now remaining' Cas compared with similar classes of other collegesi is relatively small, it still is sufficiently large to reHect credit upon the profes- sors and instructors in the lnstitute, and, mztrc' 110115, upon ourselves. Our class record, up to the closing of the junior year, has been fully considered in previous issues of the Transit. There remains, therefore, only so much of it as begins with the Senior Survey to be recorded. This pleasant event took place last August when those of the class still in good standing met to make the survey for the proposed trolley road to connect Averill Park, N. Y., with .XVllll211llSllOWll. Mass. lt can be safely said that in the history of trolley roads, never was there such an array of talent assembled. The weeks spent in the field were beneficial from more than one point of view, being full of needed experience, and also a welcome diversion from the dry routine of class-room work. Needless to say, our return to the drawing room on the hill was reluctantly made, for it brought us within the shadow of the fall term, when the usual grind would begin: 46 I However, our First Term Senior terminated happily for the greater number of the class, and, as is usual, its work has been pushed behind into the region of yesterdayg such is always the stress and demand of the present at the Institute. Dimly we recollect clock problems and sidirial time twhich is always 'cmean j, but the only astronomical body in our great heaven of anticipation is the bright star of hope. The searching bridge quizzes are now only a memory, tnot, however, unpleasantlg and only the departing trains remind us of the intricate Railroad Problems. The dry and windy Hydraulics are with us now only as a forerunner of a course soon to be taken up, and only the approaching Electrical Laboratory course brings back to our fancy the exalted buzzing of imaginary dynamos. :Xt present, while Thermo is proving to be all that was predicted and many of our class are whistling these plate girders and bridge members into place, we are Nsitting out the pleasant course in Geology and looking forward Cwith pleasure, although none of us are prohibitionistsj to the course in xlV2llICl' Supply and Sewers, and with keen anticipation to the day when the Faculty will accept our several theses. More important than our class history is the record of the progress the Institute, under the wise guidance of Director Ricketts and the Faculty, has made since we were Freshmen. During our Freshman year the Students' Club House was built: and the erection of Sage- Hall, which is perhaps the finest building of its kind devoted entirely to Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, was begun. Last autumn the old Rankine House was razed, and on its site the beautiful Pittsburg Building is now being constructed. The old Laboratory, east of Eighth Street, has been fitted up as a shop for the Mechanical Engi- neer's course: the new Athletic Field, laid out and since enlarged, and recently plans for the new Gymnasium have been perfected. The historian, taking, as he must, a retrospective view, is not pre-empted from speculating on the future, and may even be pardoned if he turns prophet, and, with such a record of past achievement to look upon, see the future glorious. To prophesy is to hope, and to hope to achieve. Then let us hope that progress will walk hand-in-hand with the Institute: that Director Ricketts will see all his anticipatioins realized, and many years elapse before he grants the last Extension , that Crockett will continue to revise his 'lrates . and t'Mack may 47 have many decades in which to rate the worth of McGihiert's Series of Mathematics 3 that Dr. Robb may long expound on Electrical Phenomena and call for the Governing Criteriaf and Dr. Hunter still allow the class to f'Make an Educated guessng Cary still do Calistheuics on the 'fSlip Sticku and adhere to what the text -says g that versatile, capable Rousseau long may grace the honor dueg Murdoch still hail as Brother each 0ff1cially pronouncedug and de Pierpont still insist Zat you must know ze verrbug that Mason's 'INitrogen Cycle may long' continue obedient to the Doctor's suave command 3 the gentlemanly Clark still prove Nature's work uniinishedg and Touceda's honest judgment long ring true, both as to men and steelg that Greene will some day preach Thermo. from his own epistles, and Moody sill develop schemes for harnessing Niagara, lest Greene's pumps drain it dryg that Lawson's Hand Book for Engineers will be the recognized authorityg Thompson and Chillman's Descriptive the standard, and then no student ever make Tompy's First Section . 'We are conscious that much has been left unsaid, and many pleasant incidents left unrecordedg but the space allotted to us being limited, they must remain excluded. They will, however, repose in fond memory alike with the members of our class and the Professors and Instructors who have been associated with us. -I-HSTQRIAN, IQI I. y f i 4 8 , Class of 1911 Charles Clarence Adey, T B H, Cohoes, N.

Y., in 1889. Graduated from Troy High School in 1908. Carl's habits have been a source of wonder for a long time. He thought he would become a C.E., but before many months had passed, determined to specialize in making stinks , consequently Doc. Mason gathered in another recruit. Let us say right here that Carl is a natural born chemistg he can sit in the lab. any day and tell you when an unknown is boiling by simply noting the time at which it steams. Of course this may not mean much to an ordinary mortal, but to a person having Carl's attain- ments, it is very simple. Carl's time is taken up considerably in riding on the United Traction cars. Don't make a mistake and think that he has any special interest in the companyg he simply does this to spend his spare change. Anyone desiring information regarding the shortest route to Sycaway, may apply during his office hours and you will surely be surprised to find all the short cuts to this famous summer resort. Carl is a good little boy, that is, most of the time. just look at the peaceful expression on his face if you do not believe this. We wish him luck and expect to hear of him some day, as we know he is bound to make some wonderful discoveries along his chosen held. ABBY RL-NNEUH POMEROY APPLEGATE, Englishtown, N. I. EE. ' I Born December 27, 1890, at Englishtown, N. I. Graduated from Enghshtown Public '-.. 2 V:'- SCh00l9 took one year in Englishtown High School and two years at Troy Academy, Troy, N. Y. This quiet little fellow, Apple, by name, hails from the unexplored ,.,..,,,,, -. T regions of New Jersey. VVhen he first landed in Troy he was as model a youth as . gvfv I even John G. could wish. His long association with Institute influences, however, has somewhat darkened his primitive innocence. 1 . It is rumored that upon t'ApplesU' advent in Troy, he caused considerable dis- turbance among the fair sex. I-le has a smile-such a smile-in which a lady's heart would have the chances of the proverbial snowball in-Panama. At present, they say, he is a man without a heart, who sighed for many, but loved but one, and that he a. can sit for hours and look through a cloud of smoke and see a face and a name. ' ' :-. With all of K'Apple's', tendency to Hunk he seems to be able to do enough Hpillmgl' ,. QQ to keep his record among the card receivers low-exceedingly low. One of Apple's i f distinguishing features was his ability to evade the special meetings of the Sophs in X his Freshman year, but when it came to a scrap he could generally be found under the bunch. With all his failings he is one of the boys and when the records of the future . - - , , it sr shall have passed into history, we all expect to see where Apple has made good. - KEN 55 I Ah 9 in X Z FRANK FORRESTER BADGER, Malone, N. Y. CE. Born February 3, 1888. Prepared at Franklin Academy. Shad has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, that is the reason he came here. They hated to part with him at Malone, but they Enally decided it was for the best. Shad is most always the Iirst man to be called upon at quiz classes, so he has accustomed himself to studying the hrst two paragraphs of every lesson and then trusting to luck for the remainder. He is an ardent admirer of Albany and simply enjoys that six-mile ride. Of course he has a delinite point in view when he starts in this direction, but we would rather not go into descriptions. As a pedestrian, he is in the front rank. he can walk around the belt a dozen times in an afternoon and still be fit to perform the same feat that evening. His side partner. Frank Bush, acts as his protector in all escapades in which they may be mixed up in. The skirts do not worry Shad any, due to his ability of making them believe almost anything. Itls queer how he does it, but it is understood, that he is going to patent his method. We think Shad will be an engineer some day, although he has not decided what branch he is going to follow, we hope he will at least peesiiaiiaaiaae 'QQMEQW . 1 I ' fwmM.t f 'f V . rg., .,:,1v,- , W- Mwwwwhf FW? fmwaw wmmmwmgww e MMQQQQ u w25E'Et2E32'1i 121+ . . . xiii 'F settle down.

VV'here his nickname came from nobody seems to know. It certainly does not apply to his size, for, as some- one remarked, He looks like a hack going down the street. Spec had a serious setback to his lady-killing appearance when he put his hand in the path of the planer in the shop, thereby losing three hngers. However, he hides this hand and all the girls in E. 8x Wfs flock to the windows when he goes down Broad- way. Think of all the fun the Troy girls could have hghting for his much desired heart, if said heart wasn't already spoken for by a Mechanieville maiden. All the fellows like Spec., they like to see his sunny smiles when he says, 'lHel-lo fellows l 'We all wish him good luck when he gets out. Of course it will be kind of hard to really work, but then he will get used to it after a while. 56 HSPEC GEORGE BERNARD BANKS, R. T. S., T B Il, Little Fgillg, N.

Graduated in I9o5. his physiognoniy was taken from a Melhn's food bottle, the color effect being omitted by special request of the owner. D I Little George began life when he was very young at Rensselaer. Having great fear ptxthe enhancing charms of the beautiful suffragettes of the Collar City, George took up sis abogle in Wfaterford Cas he thought he would become better acquainted by riding n cars During the Iirst year of George's residence at R. P. I. he distinguished himself by his morbid propensity toward sloth and procrastination. But the Troy girls enchanted George. George soon became acquainted with all the schoolma'ams of Troy and even went as far as to encroach on the fair rooters of Union College. But, alas! George soon became tired of riding on the Schenectady cars and then conhned his attention to Lansingburgh and H2OvlietD. George soon took upon himself the pleasant duty of see- ing home. in safety, all the pretty lasses. George may be found any evening from hve until six o'clock at his office Cin front of Frear's Troy Cash Bazaarj. Pray! what is George doing there? Is he admiring the lately invented American Beauty CShapers'J on the wax doll Iulietes, which are in the windows? But about six o'clock this ques- tion may be solved when George is seen in the company of a very pretty blond, holding her arm with death-like tenacity, and she vainly endeavoring to Walk despite the hindrances of a hobble. Considering all the defects of George, we wish him a very successful career and earnestly hope to hnd him one of our greatest engineers. FRED CLARK BENNETT, R. T. S., Oneonta, N. Y. C.E ..

XIVIICIICVCI' you hear the fore- going expression you may look for a big noise in the shape of a little man. Chiefly noticeable about this prodigy was his pompadour, which we sadly fear the photog- rapher has not shown to very good advantage. Since this photograph was taken a very heart-rending thing has happened. Freddy has discarded his pompadour! A thought- less damsel told him that he would look Hcutez' if he parted his hair. So it was 'fgood-bye, pomp. ! A most distinguishing feature about 'Taillikenl' is his laugh, which no one has yet been able to- classify. It starts with a high soprano cackle and ends with a deep bass guffaw, passing through all the intermediate stages. By this you can detect his presence a couple of blocks away. But his singing ability surpasses anything on record. He can, without the slightest doubt, emit the most frightful noises that ever bore the name of singing, and it is not necessary to extend him an invitation to sing-he is self- starting. BillikBn's chief enjoyment in life is eating. He can eat at almost any time .and place, and his female friends who are wise make use of their knowledge that the shortest Wav to his heart is throu h his stomac 1. The above is sufficient toggive you a pretty accurate description of the K'Boy VVonder . Any fair maiden who wishes to investigate further might be able to make an appoint- ment with our little Billiken during his office hours. However, you had better come early, as his engagements are numerous indeed. 57 BIL LIKE N BILL RICHARD BOISSARD, R. s. 9 N 12. B A B, 11. c. N., cinciimam, o. EE. VVILLIAM JOHN BLAUM, T B H, Albany, N. Y. CE. Born at Albany, N. Y., in I892. Graduated from Holy Cross Academy in 1905, and from Albany High School in 1908. First of all, be it understood that this is Bill or Blaum, or Bill Blaum, or even Wlilliam, if necessary, but never Mr. Blaum, for Bill won't stand for the Mr. Don't blame Bill for that, for he has never missed her ten times in all those trips to Albany. 'What does her stand for? Oh, for the train, per- haps, or maybe for-well, ask Bill. Bill came to Troy one fine September morning determined to become a Civil Engineer. That determination evidently has never left him, for now, when flags of distress are appearing in all directions, Bill is sailing calmly on, helping those near him and making everybody glad that he is alive. Well, heres to Bill, a coming star in the engineering field. ,115 Bom April 30, 1891, at Kenosha, VVis. Prepared at Ohio Mechanics Institute, Cincin- nati.

But Dick made up in importance what he lacked in years. In fact, we were almost led to believe that he was really older than he looked, especially when he told us of some of his wonderful exploits. His faculty for getting his feet and himself tangled up with people and things in general was the despair of his badly battered classmates. Then Dick was a good student, although he sometimes used extraordinary means to gain l1is end, to-wit,-his p in English. At present he is instructing the faculty of tl1e University of NViconsin in various subjects that they ought to know. But Dick is a genuine good fellow, whom we were glad to call our friend.

Why, when he was in Cambridge on the Junior Survey, the Captain of his Section never was able to find him after supper. The most puzzling part was that he went calling to a different house each evening. It was also noticed that he did not return as soon as the work was com- pleted, but carried out the theory of play a good thing while it lasts , and hung around for a week or so. It has often been a matter of discussion whether Branan gets his perfect poses from performing in front of a mirror, For when playing ball or shooting pool he lives up to the saying, every move a picture.

It would be necessary to publish a number of books in order to give this small boy's history, so we can only give a short outline of his life while he has been with us. When Chuck arrived in our midst he was one of the greenest farmers that we had ever seen. But he soon learned the ropes and now may be classed as a regular human being. During his Erst year t'Chuck would not look at a girl, but studied most of his spare time. VV'e thought that he was bashful until he com- menced to make frequent business trips to Saratoga. At the beginning of his second year Chuck met some of the fair sex from Troy. Then we noticed that the business trips to Saratoga were not so frequent as before. After a while he began to study in the afternoon, because the gas light hurt his eyes. Then every evening at about seven- thirty i'Chuck had to go out walking for his health. XM: often wondered if he was alone during the four hours he was out for his health. But Chuck's love for the fair sexi' has not interfered in any way with his class spirit. He has never missed a rush of any kind and we have found him to be one of the best and most loyal men of his class. W'e expect him to be with us in Iune, IQI2.

He was called Bushes by his classmates, due to the shortness of his last name. He was first dis- tinguished from the rest by his venerable laugh. He is a fellow who enjoys life and is large enough to protect himself, If you think he is a backwoodsman, you watch the 7 o'clock local some Friday night and notice with what accustomed air he boards this train for Albany. He knows the ropes and can teach many Seniors tricks they never heard of. Frank loves most of the Profs. and gives them a talking to once in a while, so as to keep them on edge. He is a member of the five o'clock Times corner club and the beat considers him one of its prominent supporters.

BUSHES 81 GEORGE FARNHAM CANEY, R. S. E., B A B, Richlield Springs, N. Y. E.E. Born July 19, 1889, at Richlield Springs, N. Y. Prepared at Richfield Springs High School. Farnham comes from that part of New York State which is famous for its spring waters and healthy atmosphere. Here Cooper found material for some of his most famous works. On these spring waters and invigorating atmosphere Farnham grew into a strapping youth, but tired of the slow and somewhat rural life at the Springs. Being of a studious and scientiiic disposition, he decided that the Electrical Engineering held offered great opportunities and dreamed of becoming an Edison, Stein- metz. Robb, or even a Rasmussen. Having convinced his parents that herein lay his destiny, they decided that he should have the best opportunities possible so they sent him to Rensselaer, but exhibited great foresight and judgment in sending his younger brother along with Farnham to see that he did not injure his health by overstudy. In Trov Farnham soon became used to city life. lt did not take him long to learn the lay -of the land about Troy. Albany and Lansingburgh, being greatly enamored with Troy's northern suburb. which he thinks is a very romantic spot. ,Tis said that there is something that attracts more than the mere landscape up here-you know, you cannot always, sometimes tell. . As a relaxation from studying about armature reaction and 'fthe effects of spark- ing -see Franklin and Esty, Vol. T., Farnham likes to attend class banquets and listen to the golden oratory of his classmates. U U But whatever of the above may savor of Jest we can in all earnestness say that B. S. C. Farnham Caney is a hard worker. a good student and a true friend. He is, and we hope that he always will be a credit to his class and to his Alma Mater. VVILBUR HINDS CAN 4Y, R. ' R A B ichlield Shrines, N. Y, C.E E S. L. . R . .

If you have not already noticed it from the picture, XfVilbur is from the country-or worse, Richfield Springs. When asked where that is, he invariably says it is near I-lerkimer and then looks as if he expected one to know all about it. XVhen VVilbur and his big brother hrst blew into Troy over the Centrall' they were fortunate enough to secure rooms in Eighth Street's famous bedbug Row, and therefor immedi- ately became members of the elite. In addition to this claim to destruction VVilbur is quite an athlete, playing baseball on divers hash-house teams. His athletic specialty, however, is running the high hurdles, at one time running them in six Hat-meaning VVilbur's feet of height fiat on the track. Beacnse of his athletic sympathies Xhfilbur was chosen to umpire the baseball game between the R. P. l's and Cambridge during our junior survey. He worked for our side most nobly, in one case calling a hit by Cam- bridge over second base a foul ball The only thing that worried VVilbur was that night when someone threw a pitcher of water over him from a second story window, there were some ladies passing and he could not express himself. Iudffing from the fre- quency of XfVilbur's trips to Schenectady we have long been expecting him to lose his appetite. but this has certainly not yet happened-in fact, we sometimes fear that he is married. Notwithstanding all the mean things we have said about him, XVilbur is a good fellow and fully lives up to the last two lines in the chorus of our college song. 62 UWILB DANA HYDE CANNON, 9 E, B A B. lrvington, N.

In baseball also he generally delivers the goods, having pitched in several games. His talent as a singer found him a place on the Glee Club. Altogether, he is the right kind of a fellow to have around and we would like to see him succeed. We expect to hear some day of a famous boxing school which he intends to establish after leaving R. P. I. Among other things he is a great patriot for he frequently goes to Boston to see historic places, but we know there must be some other attraction, as he always takes candy and flowers. 63 CHARLIE RALPH ERNEST CASE, R.

Ohg do you think he'd stay away from church of a Sunday. Never! And just to be self- sacrilicing he goes to a church way up in Lansingburgh. Not only that, but he doesn't always limit himself to Sunday, and the Traction Company has offered him commuta- tion rates. But whoever gets the idea that Arm is a ladies' man, is sadly mistaken. Up in the wilds of the Adirondacks he has all the beasts plumb scared. Bears and chip- munks and trout, and everything but dear Also our boy Fatty is some scholarg there are few as good.

This young man, with the nautical cognomen is another one of our class who is always thar. Wlhether it be in the rushes, in the classroom, with the ladies or with the boys, Casey,' is Johnnie on the spot. But it is with the ladies that he shines most brilliantly. This does not gainsay his ability with the boys, but in this respect he is overshadowed by his famous roommate, Seacrab Harry, -not because Harry has the greater ability, but because he has the fortune of possessing a beautiful tenor voice which always holds his audience spell- bound while relating an episode of his life. Ralph took great pleasure in the Summer Shop courses-the beautiful nights on the river, in the parks, and the 4th of July cele- brations appealing to his fun-loving nature. Some day SkipperJ' will be a great elec- trical engineer. As an instance of his ability we refer you to the clever way in which he kidnapped Fat Brahe's automobile.

Pass not by this unassuming youth without hesitation, for here is the photograph of one of the most remarkable fellows in school. Some day he will come up on the hill without numerous cuts on his face from shaving and no one will recognize him. Hunting is XVeb's pet hobby, and he rides it whenever he gets a chance. Wlieii a kid he shot at a cat but hit his foot instead. Since his Freshman year he has been hunting for an easy and sure way of procuring pass slips, but has failed to bring in any game up to date. Wlebster, with his smiling countenance, is not only admired by the fair sex, in that fast dying town of Saratoga, but has many friends among the suffragettes of Troy. But after all, the fellows hnd that Colf' is a good old skate, always ready to lend a helping hand or to turn out to the games and rushes.

But maybe John will get some one yet. By the way, it wouldn't be his fault. In IOhn's mind what he cloesn't know isn't Worth knowing.

Al. was always one of us and could ever be seen of a Saturday night among the members of the famous round table sipping his white colored refreshment with the best of them. f'Al.'s smile is one which would win the most hard-hearted man and you wouldn't hesitate to borrow a dollar from him any time.

GUY L. DE RHODES, B A B, Salem, Ohio. CE. Born june 2I, 1887. Prepared at Millersburg Military lnstitute. De Rhodes has ac- quired the nickname of Sunny , which he undoubtedly deserves. One of those who may slip in unnoticed because of his lack of vivaciousness Cwhatever that isl. he is found by his friends to be full of good nature, and usually wears a smile. 'Walking is his favorite pastime and he claims to have established some long-distance records in that line. He may frequently be found at Doc. Gifford's where l1e often indulges in his favorite refreshment, a half-in-half sundae. Another weakness is a fondness for fudge of his own make, to which he frequently treats his friends, and curious to Slly. they seem to survive it. It has been said that he is in the habit of getting up at six in the morning to finish up any possible remnants of these midnight spreads. He is a conscientious student, and though he and the faculty do not always get along perfectly, we hope their differences may all be settled by june, 1912.

This youth, early discovering his engineering ability. deQded to seek a school where he could have his ability developed, so he left his parents, brothers, sisters and sweethearts in the Old VVorld to come to this New VVorld. At lirst he was home-sick, like all other boys away from home, but he soon got over it. After a few ycar's preparation at other schools he came to this famous old Institute. He a good and studious student. In spite of the disadvantage he has been laboring under-foreign language-he is main- taining a very high standing at the 'Tute. His chief ambition is to be a pioneer of the vast engineering held in China. Let us hope he will have the best of luck. Ding has a grudge against pipe smoking CPE because it makes him dream, so he is a cigarette fiend. In one of his pipe dreams Ding invented an elevator running between the United States and China. He says the tourists would have no fear of being seasick if they used it, Ding thinks the American girls are the girls and is greatly interested in the question of international marriage.

Prepared at La Salle lust., Troy, N. Y. Sophomore Soiree Committee. Class Treasurer, ISY term, Junior year. This bright, young man is a native of Brunswick, where in the seclusion of its lofty hills. he con- ceived the idea of becoming an engineer. To look at t'Pinkey now and carefully note his actions one would hardly think that in September, IQO8, he came to us fresh from the farm. But nevertheless such is the case. Now, some people call him a Ufiisserv. which is very appropriate as far as it but we who know him better, would1i't stop there. Wliy, would you believe it? he knows every girl in Troy, Cohoes, Waterfo1'd an-'l Vifatervliet, saying nothing of Green Island. None of them seem to be able to resist his charming smile. This fussing , however, is not Pinkey7s' weakest point. Feeding is a far more serious question with him, especially free lunching. XNhy, he'll go anywhere for a feed. One night a maiden 'phoned him at his home in the country and just be- cause she mentioned a feed he came all the way back to Troy Cabout four milesj through snow six inches deep. Several other instances of crazy stunts by HPinkyl', showing his love for a feed, might be mentioned, but for various reasons we will not speak of them here. But, considering everything, Pinkey is a mighty good fellow and some day we hope to see him a great engineer. 75 HPINKEY g 'FEINYH CH ARLES FRANK FElNE, Buffalo, N. Y. C.E. Born June 22, I89O, at Buffalo, N. Y. Graduated from Public School C391 1906. This lad, from the Wfindy City, came here bent on the purpose of becoming a civil engineer. At hrst he was quite a pill, but Trojan atmosphere and Trojan girls soon turned his well-meant purposes to naught, and today we lind him acquainted with studies some, but with girls more. Have you ever noticed his hair? It is a decided blond, well-kept, combed every hour. with a white ivory comb. He is very proud of his hair, and, upon application, will give the secret of its success to anyone for a nominal fee. Hot frankfurters and sauerkraut seem to be his favorite dish, which he usually washes down with a stein of Troy's best. Charles should prove an ideal husband, as he is a very handy personage about the house as well as about the auto and office. Together with these natural traits and traits acquired at Rensselaer and its surroundings he un- doubtedly will some day hold a prominent place among Renssclaer's honored graduates EDGAR LOUIS FEININGER, 'P T, K.

XN7hen he gets started there is no telling where the finish is. At one Calculus Cremation Ed walked from the Gym. to Mill Street and then tried to carry a stove all the way back. just to show that he was a pedestrian. He is a scrapper and many a freshman was proud to point him out as the one who had licked him, for many a man has compared his strength by the showing he could make against this man Ed.'s frequent heart attacks have caused him a lot of trouble. Of course. there was nothing dangerous about this ailment, but just the same he had to be constantly guarded. He knows every nook in Troy and the way he could disappear in his freshman year, upon the approach of Sophomores was remarkable. Pe had the habit of putting his little green button in his pocket, board- ing a local, unnoticed, and then so-long. Ed is presently engaged upon making a name for himself.

I-le is a great pedestrian and student of astronomy and is generally accompanied upon his strolls. For the origin of the expression Hare you game?l' we refer you to him, as it is too long a story to publish. We might add in conclusion, that in 1912 we hope to see him with the bunch and we have little fear of him not being there. Born June 16, 1888, in Brooklyn, N. Y. Member IQI? Transit Board. Sophomore Soiree Committee. Prepared at Brooklyn Polytechnic Preparatory School. 'tFleichey'l, the boy from Brooklyn with the cute little moustache that looked like a worn-out tooth brush, and this, together with his lovely shock of bristling hair, made an impression which his photograph fails utterly to convey. Now Fleicheyl' was on the Sophomore Prom. Committee and insisted that this Soiree should be pulled off in true New York style. XfVhat that particular style was, nobody has as yet been able to discover, so the aforesaid Soiree was run entirely with Mr. Fleischman's consent, in the true R. P, I. style. Fleichey was also some chemist. He ate unknowns in Qualita- tive Analysis like one would biscuits and his slips always came back O. K. As for bowling, well, Fleichey was just a scream. Vtfhy, if he eouldn't knock all the pins down in one alley with two balls, was he discouraged? Nol He iust slipped over to the next alley, without fear of disturbance and proceeded to roll two more balls and list the sum total of pins in the space where one frame should go. As has been stated at the First of this tale, Fleischman is from Brookyn. This fact you are not allowed to for- get. Troy and her stair maidens were nothing in the eyes of this Aillustrious youth. Brooklyn and her maidens were ever the topic of conversation in inspired moments. It is to be said about Fleischman that hetcarved the hrst Figures on the new cane and they were those of 1912. We wish him with all due respect the customary brilliant career. 77 UFLEICHEX JELLY LAVVRENCE P. GALLAGHER, Kingston, N. Y. CE. Born at Kingston, N. Y., October 20, 1888. Graduated from Kingston Academy IQO8. Known only to his mother as Lawrence, Docf' to his classmates and friends. This very quiet, sedate, and brainy youth hove into Troy one sunny afternoon from his haunt in the Catskills, where, like his friend Rip, he had slept for twenty years, free from the wiles of women. He awoke in Troy and entered upon his career as a student with a OE. degree in the distance. This is no longer in the distance, for his conditions number but two, and he has startled the Profs. and all the wise ones in Troy, including the ladies. XVe cannot brand him a pill , for he has sacriliced many an hour of study to discuss and learn the intricacies of women, his pet hobby. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of his numerous friends have stated on first sight, My, how quiet Doe is, but oh, how soon they change their minds. Doo is well known in Troy and has received many offers of presidency for women suffrage societies and temperance organizations. His vast experience in these lines has made him an authority. lfVe all wish him success in life and have no doubts that we shall hear from him often in the higher planes of the engineering world. CLEOPHAS JOSEPH GALATSE, Cohoes, N. Y. C.E. Born November 16, 1887, at Cohoes, N. Y. Prepared at Troy Academy. Jelly , who is known by other names in Albany and Cohoes, is one of the real sports at the ,Tute. lt surely must have been hard on this beautiful specimen of man when he had to wear the green button cap in the Freshman year. lt seems almost impossible that he could pass a young lady on the street with his beautiful head adorned with anything but Z1 derby. Much of jelly'sl' time during the day is spent walking along the principal streets of Troy, trying to attract some of the young ladies. ln this act he is very suc- cessful. not only in Troy, but also in the surrounding cities. One of his best sports is canoeing along the Hudson River. l-le is generally accompanied on these trips by a pretty young girl from Green Island, and he takes great pleasure in displaying his wonder- ful voice to her by singing, l'd Like to Be Your Honey Bee and just a Litle Bit More. Of 'AIelly's numerous acquaintances in Albany a certain one on Plain Street seems to be the idol of his heart at present. This surely accounts for his many trips to our neighboring city. ln conclusion we may say of this clark-haired beauty of the Class IQIZH, that he is very popular at the lnstitute and we all join in wishing him every possible success in his future life.

If this picture were only full length I am sure that we could better appreciate Kennedy's beauty, and you would duly be aware of the reason if you were to notice how full he wears his trousers or his efforts in catching a pig in an alley. It is true that his home is in New York City, but you would hardly believe it were you on the football trip and tried to get to Hoboken under his directions. However, he has good reasons, for his affections never ran in that direction when home, which is proven by the post mark of those letters he received in his freshman year. Does he still receive those letters? No, for, alas, one day Burr received an express package, which had all indications of containing letters. Since then his affections have been directed toward Troy maidens, of which he has had a considerable number, but now he surely deserves a chair in the married men's club, for it is always the same sweet feminine voice that asks for Mr. Garvin when the 'phone rings. If economy counts in engineer- ing you may be sure that Burr will have a most successful career and he has our best wishes. 79 GARV CHUBBYU EVUWARD VVRIGHT GOLDEN, 9 N E, Lansingburgh, N. Y. C.E.

Chubby and work were never pals, except when he was manager of the Freshman baseball teamg 'LChubby got-a new suit-and- other things'--during that term of office. In fact, that was where he got his training for his job as politician C?j in the last election. He didn't come back until the term was well begun in Sophomore year. which was his last. Some people have said that they wouldn't want to die in Troy, but Chubby went to the other extreme and went to New York to be married in April, 1911, to a Troy girl. I am sure that we all appreci- ate the fact that he is now in the harness and that we must not tempt him. After wishing him all of the success of married life and sincerely hoping that his troubles will be Iilflf' mms, we turn our backs on a deserter from the ranks of bachelorhood.

During the school year one of our hero's chief occupations is going to the Troy Library. VVe never see him carry any books, so cannot imagine Why he goes. Perhaps, he reads the St. Nicholas in the children's room. or he may he studying a map showing the streets of Troy. In spite of this mystery we like him, for he is always in on anything that is doing, whether it is a game, a rush, or a scrap. BO 'XJRLES NVARREN GQRTON, B A li, Sherhurne, N. Y. CE. Lorn',l-uly 6.

He seemed to be active, however, and made enough noise to gain the conhdence of the fellows, and he was elected the Grst President of the Class. He undertook quite a job, however. for the Sophomores were mighty and many, and things went bad at lirst. But when he had forgotten all motherly advice and home ties he got busy and linally managed to keep the Sophomores guessing. By good head- work he selected a splendid position for our Hag rush, which, owing to rather a ques- tionable decision, we lost. But there was a light there that we shall not soon forget. Then there came the class picture, which he managed to have taken after many attempts He was always there to rough it up and it was hard to convince him not to tackle the whole class alone. He always had more guts than brains. The next year he became sophisticated, but his daring nerve still clung to him and led him into the clutches of the faculty. The faculty thought he needed a little recreation, so they granted him a few weeks leave. He speedily rejoined us and is now plugging hard for his degree, which we, as one. hope he will receive. B1 HI-IN HFREDAH GEORGE LEWIS GRAY, Troy, N. Y. E.E. Born November 2, I89o, at Troy, N. Y. Prepared at Public Schools of Troy and Troy High School. George came to school with a determination to kill the subjects. Any morning you can see him come puffing over the campus, with a load of books and knowledge which he is absorbing by degrees. Last summer seems to have changed some of his opinions about work. With all of his tasks, George seems to find time to stroll, noonly, up and down in front of the T. H. S. I wonder what the attraction is on the Albany Road? To persevere is one of George's mottoes. Especially in hunting up an old T. H. S. pin for a i friend. George is some f'pill and mid- night oil is one of his famous Huids. He is going to be a great engineer some day, and when this time comes, you had better drive a peg in the earth and hold on, for some- thing is bound to fly off. We trust George will bend his inventive mind towards better- ing the 15th Street line, for, although he generally walks, others often ride and he should have some consideration for them.

'Varsity basketball, 'Io-'IL Class basketball, football and baseball teams, Fresh- man and Sophomore years. This young man came into our midst from sturdy, old dutch ancestry. One look at his stern physiognomy will convince you of this. In his spare time, he is often seen in the theatresg formally he was one of the main supports of the moving picture shows of Troy. He dearly loves to sit down and have a little quite game of cribbage or pinochle, or discuss the present ire department of Troy. He is an ardent believer in athletics and tries out for every team that looks good to him. He is quite a ladies' man. If he can't make a hit with them by his charming manner, he tries to fascinate them with a little music. It is reported that one fair damsel was able to obtain some of his valuable jewelry while he was on the Summer Survey. This he tried to conceal, but the truth hnally came to light. In closing one might add that he is not entirely bad, for his good traits greatly overbalance his doubtful ones. He has a wonderful habit of delivering his opinion of every remark made either by Profs. or students, but he cannot help it, he is not responsible. Brooklyn seems to look good to him, so here's hoping his troubles will only be little ones. MGEORGEH 82 l IJWARD ALLEN GREENAVV.-XY, Cohoes, N. Y. E.E.

I-low, gentle reader, do you like the looks of our Japanese classmate. DeBaun looks so oriental that when Shiz came here he took to Gurnee at hrst sight and they have been close friends ever since. The hunch in the Dorm. are never tired of hearing 'lDeBum's jokes, which, by the way, came over in the Ark, or of listening to his inclodious voice, which can be heard howling such songs as HAH that I want is you , in a manner nnlit for human ears. But then, what can one expect when it is an established fact that Gurnee comes from Brooklyn. However, Gurnee is a good skate, and we all hope that he can get a good job of which he will he deserving, such as shoveling mud. when he gets through here MDE BUM ALMON THOMAS HARDING, X fif, B A B, Saranac Lake, N.

In fact, they took such a ii ,H liking to this fair youth that he was forced to leave the Institute, for fear he would be sued for breach of promise. His many wanderings we know little about, but we do know that he is well acquainted with the map of Troy and can direct you to almost A any street that you may seek. There are a few, however, who could furnish valuable information concerning this youth, among these are Rogers and F.

If there is anything you would like to know about any past or future event in Institute athletics, ask Shrimp and he will be more than pleased to elucidate. Shrimp is known as the little man with the big laugh. There is but one time, after each vacation, when the little man alights from a Buffalo train, that the laughing countenance is tear stained, and melancholy. This only goes to show, however that the young ladies of Troy are far inferior to those of Buffalo. 'fShrimp', is in his glory when he has four or live conditions to his credit. The Profs. consider him alone when assigning a date for a condition exam.. for they know that he must be on hand, conse- quently care must be taken that the dates do not coniiict. Although Shrimp f'-1l1ClS it hard to look through a transit, due to its height above ground. we think he will invent some method of obliterating this trouble and that we will point him out with pride some day. T B ll, Tonawanda, N. Y. EE: c. Prepared at Tonawanda High School. Wiggles sprouted in Dakota, but being somewhat nervous, was greatly disturbed .by the countless numbers of barking prairie dogs and Coyotes and hnally came East, settling in Tonawanda. It was from there he entered our roll call in 1908, not with a roar from Niagara, but in a quiet tone of voice. His chief aim is the telephone business Cand we might add that he is an expertj as already he has carried on quite extensive transac- tions with the New York Telephone Co. CXVe won't say what partl. Y His great hobby is photography and many are the hours he has spent in the dark room , yet he persists he is afraid in the dark. Really you can't keep your eyes off his placid countenance and one would come to the conclusion he was a Mellin's Food boy, but quite to the contrary, his favorite Essex hand-out is Egg-with, please. As to the habits of this young man, he never imbibes in anything stronger than a clam cock-tail or smokes anything worse than Bag Dadl' or tar rope. Always late to bed and earlv to rise, with his snoring in between. Oh, if you could ever hear his beautiful and s-norous musical qualities while asleep. Sometimes North Troy residents repo-rted see- ing mysterious objects roaming around Oakwood cemetery after one of his nightly musi-s cal comedies. and yet we are told the dead won't lawakeguntil the Judgement Day. The rag men and junk dealers are always around reaping a hne harvest of old shoes and tin cans, the neighbors threw during the night, try-ing to awaken him. Now laying all his bad traits aside and taking up his good ones, if we can hnd them, we might add that Wiggles is among the first in hishclass and always wlggles to the top, for if HVV'1ggles can't wiggle, what can Hel-wiggle fl' , as UWIGGLES mo --,w 5 v -4 v vi' HANK .f -23 4' it ez WY 3: X up 5.54, G11 , ' 1 ' 1 .,,. . f i .. .

Henry, also known as Hank, the boy wonder of his age. He was born in the great City of Albany, and is still alive. Hank is a hard working student. but ,is unfortunate and complains of having the hard luck disease. He tried to convince Prof. Rousseau that the Liquidambar is a process of treating wood for preservation. Nevertheless 'lHank is quite a Botanist. Of course 'fHank'l is unfortunate because he has that crazy, befuddled idea that he is the only Sigma shyster that is worthy to belong to that honorable society, called Sigma Zi. Wfe hate to disappoint him in this respect. but his companions on the local do not believe in his integrity, consequently Sigma Pi will be in his line, Hank is some pumpkins down in Albany Park. The coppers almost nabbed him a few times, because of his star-gazing from shady nooks. Be good, Hank , and some day you may have the chance to re-design Albany according to your personal views. Born November 28, 1889, at Hiroshima, Japan. Prepared at Lansingburgh High and at Troy High. Member Mandolin Club '08-'O9: ,GQ-,105 Manager R. P. I. Orchestra 'Io-,115 Member Transit Board. This little fellow is the only representative we have with us from the land of the rising sun. During the fall of 1908 we first took note of him when in the hill rush he gave some of the Sophomores their hrst lesson in jiu-jitsu. Hirahara easily seemed to get along during his Freshman year talking in a language which neither his classmates nor Profs. could interpret, but since then the bluff of no understand , and that is what it meant , the Profs. are all wise to, and now he has to work. Like his fellow countrymen he is small physically, but very active mentally. Vxfhen it comes to sketching and cartooning for our Transits, Hirahara is the best repre- sentative We have. As a musician and orchestra leader he has no equal. VVhen Words are not understood, his arms swing and unintelligible sounds come forth, but the orchestra blazes out in glory. He has always been an active member of the class and we soon hope to see him graduate and later hear of his great engineering feats in Japan. Well, Hirahara, we know we shall miss you when you start on your far Eastern journey and we wish you the best of success. USHIZU 8 6 MYER HORMATS, Troy, N. Y. EE. Born july 8, 1891.

That is what we know of him in verse, but to get down to plain English, this boy is the most unstable article on the hilly why, in English, the fellows sitting beside him had to support him every time he got up to recite.

'When Carl evaporated from the misty vales of Kingston, said town being the worldls social and intellectual metropolis, his gray matter was not sufficiently corrugated .with the ways of this miimtesimal portion of our globe.

He is also looked at quite a bit by the Troy maidens, for his rosy-cheeks and pretty face is coveted by them all. Lately Earl has gained quite a little fame by trying to sell a motorcycle. We don't know what is the matter with this article, but he certainly is trying hard to sell it. Every bulletin board has one or more notices on it, and we surely hope they take effect, for Earl's sake, at least. Earl is a pretty good sport and has been to the doings, so we wish him luck. and hope his proposals as an engineer will receive better attention. Boin May 5th, 1889. Prepared at Ncwbuigh Academy. XVhen 'A-luclf' struck the town, he was as many another, an innocent, exemplary youth. But, being a bright and observing child, it took but a short time to initiate Hjudf' into the ways of 'Tute life. As a judge of stories and good cigars Iud.'l is without a peer. Many are the times that Denny's famous tales of his exploits have been suddenly interrupted by 'tIud.'s deep-toned, Oh, PiHle. VVhereupon Jud would immediately proceed to monopolize the Hoor for his own use, and after a last, long drag on his Hcigarf' would begin a story, which would put Denny's to shame, and with the aid of the cigar put the audience to Flight. f'Iud.'s social success was crowned at Cambridge during the Junior Survey. Upon their arrival, he and XNVl1itey began a strenuous campaign. which resulted in near-revolution in the ranks. But as Captain, Iudf' quickly quelled the insurrection and from that time he and A'VVhitey proceeded to captivate all the fair ones. How well they succeeded, the other members of the section can testify. There is one fault which 'ijudf' is the possessor of-when he is around no one has a show with the fair ones. But we are sure that this will not prevent the success which we are certain is in store for him. BB JUD CLIFF CLI E1SgR3p?gl11i1iR1.sTgcpi1Nsi1'oNE, R. S. B A B. Dtamint, Mich. cis.

Prepared at Christian Brothers Academy, Albany, N.. Y. XVm. G. Keeshan, better known under the pseudonym of Oliver Twist , is a little curly-haired blond from Sand-Slide Park of the old, historic town of Albany. He was horn in Albany, N. Y., twenty years ago. He has always lived on Elk Street, one of the most secluded and aristocratic streets of that famous old town. This accounts. in a great measure for his aristrocratic, up-to-date manner of dressing. His tight-fitting coat is the envy of all his school-fellows, because the girls of Troy, who know a thing or two about style, just lionize him, or would do so, if his bashfulness did not interfere with their designs. Another peculiar feature in his make-up is his cigarette hat, which he is always inclined to wear on top of his left ear. Some class to this kid.. This modest young man was educated at the C. B. Academy of Albany, from which institu- tion he graduated in IQO8. He is now attending the famous R. P. I., from which institu- tion he expects to graduate some time in the f-u-t-u-r-e, as a Civil E11.g1'n.ee1'. At least, let us hope, that he will not prove to be an uncivil one. He will need to overcome his inclination to joke and pester his companions with his brilliant C?D witticisms if he wishes to be a truly civil one. VVe, his classmates, will pray devoutly for our brother, Oliver , that he may be enlightened as to the true nature of wit or humor. 'VVhen Oliver has been sufficiently enlightened in that direction we will shake hands with our genial friend and wish him success in his ambition to be a second Mark Cohn.

When Kell first arrived at Troy, Trojans who saw him on the street sporting his green button, would say. VVhat a nice, quiet young man, so diiterent from the peace-disturbing crowd that usually shows up in September. But how they were deceived. The look of meek- ness, which they saw upon his smiling countenance was only a mask to cover a mischief- loving disposition. If we had only known it at lirst, how much it might have helped us. But it was not until l'Kell found out that we 'lwere wisel' to his little game that he showed his true colors. Kell's', principal weakness is his love of excitment. No one at the ,Tute can remember a scrap or a celebration at which he has not taken an interesting part. But now that scraps are a thing of the past, we hear that he has been exploring the wilds of Lansingburgh in search of excitement. We would appreci- ate very much it he would give us a lecture, with lantern slides, of his experiences. VVl1ile not otherwise engaged, Kell has found a moment or two to do some plugging and some day we expect to see that magical name written in the hall of fame.

It is hinted by most of the fellows that he has a fair one somewhere in the background, for he walks off mysteriously at times, no one knows where and the next time he is seen he seems to be very happy. On the junior Survey he was the backbone of the Section. He doesnlt shine like a mirror in the held work, but you ought to see that boy look up logs. One every three hours.

And there is no use of the fellows looking with envious glances at the fair one who sits by him in Proctor's, for she is taken. Kream is well liked by the bunch on the hill, for he is always ready to turn out to the doings or to lend a fellow a helping hand, for which the faculty reprimanded him.

Fourteen years ago there hailed from the Country of Peace CI-Iollandj, a calm and peaceful, curly-headed boy, known to all as Andy the Flying Dutchman , a boy, who is well worthy of his name. It is sad, but true, that he fails to claim one of those Little Miss VVooden Shoes for his future -, but thinks he will have little trouble in accomplishing his much sought for aim here. Give him credit for having started well, for while a Freshman, he was greatly interested in the welfare of a fe-:uf nice maidens, all attired in white, who were located at one of Troy's hospitals. Since then his bent has been somewhat altered. Maybe he is -not .to blame for this, for we will have to say he has the Troy characteristics of toemg in, which causes his being led astray. Good looking fellow, if it was not for this. How- ever, 'fAndy made a terrible hit with the Prima Donna at Churclnlls, N. Y. He C3115 her, very familiarly, Alma .

This view of our bean-pole shows one-tenth of his physiognomy. He can cast a shadow clean across the street when the sun is in the right spot. This man is the only man who can claim that a railroad is run for his express purpose. Everyone knows Saratoga to be about the last place on earth in winter, and yet the D. 81 H. runs trains to this resort throughout the winter, simply to accommodate our Locky . Do you wonder why? That's easy, there's a reason. Locky loves to watch Hank and Bill's rotating cylinders, there seems to be some unaccountable attraction about them for him, and he knows their habits. for the way he can work them is worth noticing. He is a great friend of the Director's and anytime you have a mistake, which should be rectihed by the faculty, after due notice has been served to the high power, give Locky'l the job, he will arrange matters to your complete satisfaction. He is one of the old guard and a rush or game is incomplete without his presence. In his Freshman year the Sophs took a liking to him, so one night they took him up on the hill and chained him to a tree. This was the hrst time that he had been shackled and let us hope this unpleasant sensation may never cccur again. Locky is at his best when he has a couple of Freshmen sweeping the 'fgym floor for him and then the way he tackles the broom to give them a lesson, shows that he must have had previous experience. Here's to you, Locky , and may our first re-union bring you around, with or without. 94 HLOCKY FRED VVILLIAM HOWARD LYALL, 9 E, B A B, Born May 24, 1890, at Millbrook, N. Y. New jersey.

Lately he has taken to dime novels and betting. He always could play poker. Unfortunately, his dis- crimination on a good betting proposition is sadly lacking. You will believe me when I tell you that he bet on Paterson. Besides loosing the bet, he was short-changed in the bargain, but he still persists in his mad career, despite all our efforts to the contrary.

Due to a strong attraction on Eighth Street, Mag was a Trojan through and through during his Freshman year. but since that time it has become hard to decide whether Troy or Albany is home, sweet home. During the summer months he practically lives in Albany and only visits Troy occasionally. At present he lives in Troy, but every evening you can find him on the 7:30 Albany Local. No one knows what car he takes back, but it is rumored that he is not particular about the kind of a seat that he gets. Being a victim of stomach troubles, Mag has a great system of dieting. lt is somewhat peculiar, but it is not a difficult one to follow, providing a person is fond of hot cakes and all kinds of pies. 4'MagH is a great lover of .comic op-era mu-sic. l-lis favorite selection, Cupid's Telephone, is constantly on his mind and it iswith great regularity that he calls up Albany and sings, nl-lello.

This little fellow came to Troy to sleep, eat and grow, and has succeeded fairly well, especially in the first two. lncidentally he has developed several other traits, almost too numerous to mention.

Albert Mantica, known among his boon companions as The King of Them All , comes from Albany. This does not benelit Albany, as he goes back every night. His one ambition in life is to marry a rich and handsome girl. The second qualification is not as important as the lirst. ,lf he succeeds in this he wil gladly change his C.E. for a D.E., standing for Domestic Economy. One must not infer from this that he will not make a good engineer. Far from it. He is an earnest and conscientious student and, although no f'pill , he stands well in all his courses. He is a prince of good fellows. In the words of Rip Van Xllinkle. May he live long and prosper. ILSUS MARTINEZ CARRANZA, R, S. E., U. 1-I. A.. Ocampo, Coah, Mex. M.E. Born at Ocampo, Coahuila, Mexico, February 22, 1890. Prepared at Troy Academy. Mart left the heart of the Mexican Sierras with the idea of making himself famous in someway. He landed in Troy-quite a big jump, but you see his favorite saying is don't stop to consider the means if you can get the end , and he wanted awfully bad to become an M.E. Look at his picture. Do you notice that serious look? W'ell, well, that is only make-believe, you know, because he always wears that smileg and this same smile has set afire more than one heart. He is a great piano player and adores musicg perhaps that is the reason we see him so often in Albany CFD. But we assure you it is not sacred music that appeals to him. He is .strong for musical comedy, and its accessories-late suppers, etc. He says that reviews are favorite pastimes with him, because he always makes good in them. If you ask him for his favorite course in the ,Tute he will say, Electricity UD Yes, I like the d- stuff. To complete Mart.'s history we must say that he is a good fellow, a true friend and well thought of by all his friends. Vlfe know that he will get his degree next vear and let us hope that success will cross his path. ' 9 7 UMARTY GEORGE EARL MAY, R. S. 9 N 12, B A 15, BOTH lllmlfflry 18, 1890, at Kansas City, Mo.

But as to good looks and attractiveness, well, l guess she has nothing DUKE on lnm. 'Whatl Thought Earl was bashful? Well, just because he uses the dark parts of Fifth Avenue, between l-loosick and State, for his Friday night walk is no proof ot that. l-le might have been looking for some Freshman upon whom he could bestow his fatherly advice. I-le has been known to do this. But by no means is Mays popularity located on the hill alone, for he seems to have some standing at Schenectady, Bay Ridge, Cambridge, Earl 81 VVilson's Collar Ofhce and South Troy. Speaking of these places we would like to know why they put screens on the office windows of the Earl Ck NVilson shop. Wliy did he make such a hasty departure for Cambridge? VVhy is it he doesn't care to go to XfVatervliet, and why do they not run red-line cars up the approach? May, as a fellow, is O. K., but at times the feminaney of his family name has appeared on his face in the form of sympathy for all mankind. This covers a vast field-all the way from slipping a fellow a crib inclass to the tearing of himself away from an outing to take an injured fellow-being out for a canoe trip. I-le says it is easier to sit and paddle, but anyway you can float one way. Dear readers, don't get the idea that May is lazv for already his deep researches have led him to the point where he can apply for a patent on a wireless device by which he can stand on the corner of Broadway and Third and also be in class by proxy, answering all questions that may be put to him.

One of his most original being, that sand and gravel weigh less than water. Tommy ought to make a hit with one of the departments on the hill, for he is a very strenuous member of the Y and likes the place so well he has lived there most of the time since his advent in this community. Mess will usually be found at the games and is not a bad sport by a long shot, so we all hope he can persuade the faculty to give 'him a diploma next year. 98 K A.

This boy, from the land of mosquitoes, is a very quiet sort of a fellow and has not done anything which has attracted much attention, except to work. He is a rcgular horse for work and even Doc, Robb's courses hold no horrors for him. He rushes on Mondays and Fridays and all days in between. This ouiet lad is a terror with the women, and he certainly has a bunch of them on the string. If you walk down Broadway with him you have to tip your hat continually.

Charlie is another one who blew in rather late, but he looked O. K., so we took a chance and he became one of us. I-Lis early teachings prepared him for work, and work he got when he landed here. He bears no relation to the English course, so don't judge him too harshly. 'We have found him ever-ready to go into anything proposed and we still have hopes of finding some of his haunts before the end of his career here at the 'Tute. He has a way of concealing his movements, which can be attained only by experience. This reflects great credit upon his previous training. We have found Charlie ever-ready to help in class affairs, and trust a brilliant future awaits him. 99 CHARLIE RUSTY HENRY TULIUS PARTI-IESIUS, Troy, N. Y. ME. Born August 20, 1890.

I. classes and the subject of this sketch is one of that number, who decided to take the awful chance an M.E. course on the Hill. One would naturally think on hearing his name that he was of some relation to Diogenes or Aristeides of ancient Greek fame, and his work the Tute would seem to bear out such a connection to the ancient wise men, for Party is right there when it comes to the classics CBoilers, Thermodynamics and Steam Enginesj Party is also some athlete, and has upheld the honor of the 'Tute on the cinders on several occasions. This swiftness of foot was of much value to him during his freshman year and enabled him to keep away from several of the campus parties to which he was invited by the Sophs. Party is Secretary of the R. P. I. Students' Branch of the A. S. M. E. and it keeps him busy arranging inspection trips for the knowledge thirsting members of that honorable society. If you ever get your degree, old boy, you will no doubt bring great honors to the class, and we all sincerely hope you will do so. RUSSELL VEEDER NELLIS, B A 12, 0 N E, R. S. E., Nelliston, N. Y.

Tarry, dear reader, and observe the noble brow of our former vice-president. He is such a quiet fellow that it is hard to tell the thinks that are strolling around his brain. His large, dreamy eyes have been known to show fire and determination when he has been engaged in inter-class games. Rusty comes from Nelliston, which was once owned by his great-grandfather, but Rustyl' owns it now--everytime he goes home. Veeder is six feet four inches in his stocking feet, so it was a good thing for the photographer that a full view wasn't needed. Veeder's legs reach from his body to the ground-and that's going some. Nellie is always dressed so he looks his best. He is taking no chances on meeting his affinity while one hair is out of place. Danderine grew his hair and we can prove it. Une of the reasons given for his length is that of pulling him out of bed, for lic- takes a nap every afternoon. W'hen Russ reads this he won't be sore because he's one of the best-natured fellows in the Institute. His many nick- names testify to his popularity. He is captain of our basketball team this year and is working hard for a record. The only thing he doesn't like is writing letters, in spite of the English Course, so he goes home quite often. We all would receive a shock if he failed to graduate in 1912, for he is going at good speed and bids to keep it up. Heres luck to him and may we hear from him after he starts showing'em how to do things. PARTY 1 o o Jess, LE1-AND JOSEPH PFO1-lL. X fb, K. c. N., Buffalo, N. Y. c.E.

Alas! many a man misses his calling and if Leels advisor had been observant Lee would now be a chef at the Ritz-Carleton. Be that as it may, Lee does not allow his culinary propensities to he dormant, but makes them useful to the inner man, viz.: He arises from his downy bed exactly thirty-seven minutes before he is due at class, and puts the pot on to boil. VVhile this operation takes place he dons his robe de jour after which he prepares his petit dejeunern, which he absorbs in the secrecy of his own boudoir. Lee should have no difficulty in mastering spherical astronomy. for he has long practiced the method of least squares Cfor the other fellowsl in cutting cake for his guests. At one time this remarkable specimen of manhood developed a bad habit of nosing around the grid- irong however, after being put under the care of one of Troy's specialists, he was broken of the habit. Hush,-once, when Lee should have been studying, he was known to have taken a nap. However, with this one exception. he has been a good student since he has been at the Institute and we feel that though Lee is n.ot taking up the work for which nature seems to have intended him, we feel he will be success- ful and can sincerely say that we hope so. 101 JESSE HOPE PEEK, BS., A K E, K.

It is hard to under- stand how anyone who has lived in Troy all his life and has had a chance to learn about thc: 'Tute can master courage enough to go to such an institution. He must either have great courage or have an abnormal thirst for knowledge. VVe attribute the latter quality to Henry's resolution to become a Mechanical Engineer, for after he had started on his career as such, he found that course too easy and decided to try the harder C.E. course. Henry's thirst for knowledge, some say it is a girl in the case, takes up all his time and thus he does not get out and tear things up like some of those other class- mates of his. However, whenever there is anything doing in which the Class or the 'Tute is interested, you will always find this young man out, and while he is not much in the hot air line, he is the hottest part when it comes to doing things and as it is this which counts most in alter life, he will probably be a C.E. in 1912, with credit and distinction to Rensselaer. 102 HHEINE VIC GREEK VICTOR PANDIA RALLI, A K Ngvv York N, Y, ME tlSggi.sf.3?1rs:gi:.f1.ii .Cari asa: at N- Y- culus C1'C1'l1'llIlOlIcCO qftlllnfnfl'-Mis?

An evident desire to avoid the evils of society in all forms leads us to believe that there is no woman in the case, so the most probable explanation appears to be that the responsi- bilities ot an upper Aclassman, combined with the management of the basketball team and a few other things, have produced. this queer metamorphosis.

Barefoot boy, with cheeks of tan is exceedingly proper to introduce to you our friend and fellow student, R. M. Raven. It would seem from the above verse that our friend was a farmer. Yes! Your assump- tion is correct. But, although reared on a small Long Island farm, he soon became a proficient helmsman Cfor Long Island is real close to the seal and many are the wild stories he can tell you about his voyages in the good ship, Sly XVinks , especially those from the home port to Lonelyville. Oh, well do we remember the day when this mighty skipper and little Allen set off to slaughter some million or two of ducks on the stern and sand bound coast of Bayshore, and of the subsequent theories why those said ducks were not torn from the skies by the shot and shell of the puissant hunters. We after- wards found out that the shot did not travel fast enough to catch this peculiar brand of fowl. Of Dick's life at the Institute, little can be said because he only stayed long enough for us to become well acquainted and then he left to seek his way in the big world, and all we can say in parting is that we wish him the very best of success. 103 CROW lLlP REJMHERR, IR., VVaterford, N.

Meeting a friend one day. he yelled, 'fl-Iello, feet. nl-lello, mouth, came back the reply. Enough said. VVhy Phil ever took up engineering has always been a mystery to his friends, for he is an accomplished musician. I-le plays the sweet potato, accordian and mouth organ. The last comes to him naturally, while he plays the accord- ian for exercise. Sousa certainly lost a valuable musician when Phil entered the 'Tute. Dutchl' is very enthusiastic about motor-boating. Perhaps thatls why the girls are so enthusiastic about him. l4le's the chap with a girl in every port, including Watervliet, Green Island and Cohoes. His motor-boat makes those ports regularly . In spite of his frivolous nature, he is an engineer. I-le can run a slide rule and hold a rod properly. That all came from experience on State work-and living in Wfaterford. Please don't blame the 'Tute-blame the State. A very graphic description as to the method he pursues can be obtained from any member on his Junior Survey party, preferably Mr. Eichleay.

This expression has nearly been the means of conditioning 'lSteve in English-being contrary to all John G':s rules for singular and plural. Xufhcn Steve hrst came to town he led a rather quiet life, his chief difhculty being in distinguishing between the Sophomores and Freshmen. This quietness, how- ever, did not last long, for Steve was introduced, one hne day, to two charming girls- twins, and for some time was occupied with trying to remember which was which. Finally, by the e11d of his Sophomore year, he succeeded in making the distinction, and things have gone smoothly ever since. But the letters he receives Cwritten in a feminine handj, and his favorite song, A'Save All Your Kises for Me . would lead us tc- think that Steve's conquests are not limited to Troy. Xufe do not know where the young lady is from, but he speaks quite often of Cincinnati, but we think the fair one is in his old home town. He is quite musically inclined, and we feel that his voice would not be half bad, if allowed a long rest. But, all iokes aside Steve is a great worker, and we feel confident that some day, as a CE., he will shine. 104 'STEVE CAS? CHARLES POVVER RUMPF, R. T. S., T B TI, Brooklyn, N. Y. C.E. PAUL CASPER ROCK, Troy, N. Y. EE. Born July 5, 1888, at Dayton, Ohio. Prepared at VVilkinsburg High School and later at Troy Academy. Here you glance at the charming features of Paul, better known as Rockie . From all appearances we would judge him to be a beaming light among the fair sex, but for some reason he is seldom found in their society. XfVhen Paul forsakes his books, which by 'the way, is seldom, we lind him busily engaged in trying to see how many balls he can run at one shot. He is rather clever with the ivories, and we may soon hear of him as representing the t'Ilium Cadets. In his Freshman year he was something of a mystery. Early on Friday evenings you would see Rockie scouting around the Approach. But when this dear boy saw a Soph. , he would sprint down the street, and before he could be captured he would vanish as if by magic. We greatly regret that our track manager failed to see him making his get-away. If he had no doubt he would have gained a great sprinter to bring victory to our team., But, for all his faults, Rockie is a good student, and we wish him success in his chosen field.

It displayed a wit which was a surprise to the rest of us. Since that time this specimen has become changed, so that we wonder now how his own people recognize him. The only thing which has not changed is his voice. The deep tones of his can be heard many miles. There are times when Rumpf grows very restless and even reckless. There is no need of worry for he is just planning one of his trips down the river to see --. VVell, that would be telling, but we can say she lives in Brooklyn. VVe know now why Charles did so well in the inter-class meet. XfVho would not? We think there will be a great change in Charles' life tfor the betterj when be graduates. Anyway we think of him as he is often heard to say about others. 'tHe is a good skate. 105 CHARLIE WILLIAM WALLACE SCHNEIDER, Troy, N. Y. C.E. Born September 30, ISQO, at Troy, N. Y. Prepared Troy High School. This is the fellow with that beautiful bull dog smile. Wlietlier he rushes or Hunks he always wears it. Bills chief delight is to argue with the Profs. I-le has a large supply of 'thot airl' on tap at all times and always anxious to talk, it making but little difference whether he knows what he is talking about or not. He once startled the class with the enlightening statement that the constituents of the atmosphere are the things the air is made out of. To look at Bill's picture you would not think that he was bashful, but we grieve to state that he is, even after three years of ,Tute' training. It cannot be exactly determined whether he ever spoke to a young lady or not, but we are inclined to believe that he never has. It was once reported that he was seen on the street with a girl. but after much excitement had been caused by this report we discovered that the girl was his sister. Many things might be told of our friend's behavior at certain class we will say no more. BILL FREDERICK ARTHUR SCOTT, Lockport, N. Y. CE. Born june 7, 1888. Prepared at Lockport High School. Here is a poor, innocent child, whose home is in Lockport, but now exists in Albany. No, he doesn't live there instead of in Troy, so he can skip away from the rushes and mixups, for when there is any- thing doing you can always End 'lScotty', around. E Af, is some studious mut. He has been known to study on the stairway before going in the classroom and become so interested that he missed the recitation. His curly locks and sparkling eyes catch all the fair maidens' smiles, and many hands are waved by the girls in E. 8: XV.'s when he comes down Broadway. He has one particular friend in Albany, who makes all the Troy girls look shady, at least Scotty says it's that way. So we can put our classmate in the old married men's club and wish him sincerest sympathies and good luck as far as engineering goes.

'Varsity baseball 1909, 1910. This good natured chap came to us from Fordham under rather peculiar circumstances. ln a baseball game one day, he was caught stealing a base and as a result was sent up for four years' hard labor at Rensselaer. Upon his arrival, like most other Freshmen he-made his bow to society. Somebody evidently bowed in return for it was not long be-tore 'she was sporting a dandy big football sweater. That episode rather dampened his social aspirations, it was such a cold winter he must have missed that sweater on many occasions. Joe has been dubbed by a few of his friends as the South Troy Bag- gage Transferf' This came about through his kindness in transferring a young lady's suit case from the depot to her home near the Iron VVorks. The cars were blocked, so they were obliged to walk. The young lady reached home with her suit1case, but thats more than can be said of joe. He walked back, In spite of all these unfortunate experiences, he still retains his cheerful disposition. That smile, which starts from his face and works around the back of his head to his face again., is always in working order. Especially prominent is it when he is asked to discuss Boiled Bricks . His knowledge of that particular branch of the brick industry is unlimited, as he is in the business himself. Future classes at the Institute will soon be buying 'fShankey's Notes on Boiled Bricksu. The appendix to these notes will contain. among other things, a few of his choice songs, headed by that irresistible melody entitled VVhen Moses VVas. It has to be heard to be appreciated.

Treasurer Freshman Class, 211Cl term. There is a very large and important State, called Texas. It is long and broad and deep. Our Texas Small is a condensed milk edition of this wonderful State. At one time he amused himself roping steers. lighting the Mexicans, and chaining up large and unruly iron furnaces. ln a word, he is reported to have done a little of everything that was worth while down in his country, where they are in the habit of doing big things. Texas was at one time very wild, but after subduing the country to his own complete satisfaction. our VVarren D., like the Great Alexander, came to Troy, seeking other worlds to conquer. Troy is small com- pared with El Paso, but Troy completely swallowed up our hero, and he was for a time lost in the wilds of a new and unexplored realm. Treating the traditional Rushes as merelv a source of amusement to the community in general, Texas went through them all and slept the remainder of the time. VVith three blankets and both windows closed to keep out the chill with which Troy had received him, he slept from eight ,till eight. and then got up and ate and ate. If we but have patience, W.

Three years ago, when Eddie B. struck town. it took only one glance at that truculent expression, which 'fEdtlie assumes when he's either mad or scared, to know that in his home town he was some pumpkinsn, and that that same town was a big town, or anyway, across the river from one. But after you had seen Eddie pull that expression several times and he had given you the key to that aspect, i. e., either mad or scared, why, you found out that Eddie', was a good all 'round fellow after all and that it was perfectly safe to take a hand at bridge with him any old time. And, as for chemistry, well, he sits up all Sunday afternoon and thinks up answers to the hypothetical questions that Pres. Lincoln and others in the Comical Dept. may see lit to hurl most sapiently at him. No, sirg he didn't buy that set of Fresenius for nothing! There's nothing mean we can think of about 'fEddie B. , so we would like to say that we wish him a brilliant Boil hlter and washn future, and may the results of his original research in chemical helds be handed down to posterity with loud applause. -.TEXU 1 O B rXRTl'lUR GEORGE SMITH, 9 X, Sharon Springs, N.

This was very easily seen after he had been in Troy for about two weeks. His abilities as a student began to show themselves as soon as he started with his class, and as he still continues to kill everything he comes in touch with, we prophesy much for Dut. When he bows his head and looks over the top of his glasses, be prepared, something is about to happen. Since he entered the Institute Dut has always been an old standby for the class. Anything that he could do to help his class or classmates he has done willingly. Work before play, is his motto, and still, somehow, Dut is always on hand when there is anything doing. Dut has the faculty of entrancing people by the soulful music which he discourses at frequent occasions. On special occasions he becomes wonderful. 109 1- DUT JA x x MES AMES SMITH, T B H, Wlialloiisbtirg, N. Y. CE. Born at Vtfillsboro, N. Y., February 13, 1890. Prepared at Westport High School.

But along with the knowledge he received in school be assimilated some outside information and according to the laws of nature he developed into a thing popularly known as a holy terror. At a stag party he is to be counted as a valuable asset, although his stronghold is with the ladies. The gallant part of his nature often co1nes to the front and he has been known to go several blocks out of his way to escort a young lady home and to save her from the ravages of a pouring rain. But to lay aside all joking and come to the important and true part of his history he is hrst of all a remarkable student. He is recognized as one of the best men in his class and yet is not classed as a pill. 'When a particu- larly hard point comes up we all like to get his opinion on the subject. He keeps right after the idea until he understands every detail of it. lt is no effort for him, but simply a habit. He was unanimously elected Captain of his surveying section of the Iunior Survey and proved a thoroughly efficient man.

She absolutely refused to let him have his way, so 'fSmux was soon set on the right track. Xufe know no reason why he should rather have attended Emma VVillard, for the fair sex do not trouble him, It must have been the hill leading to the 'Tute that had this effect upon this friend of ours.

Wlieli a rush was on, Tuttle could always be depended upon to do his share. But just at present he is doing a little different kind of rushing. Now it is rushing to get his studying done, in order to have time for some- thing else. But it does not take much guessing to tell what this something else is. Of course we don't blame him, as most of us either do, or would like to do the same thing, providing we could lind the right time, place. and more especially the right one. Several times he has been taken for a young minister, which goes to show how one can be deceived in one's looks. But perhaps it was a good thing that the fellow who made this remark was some distance away when Tuttle heard about it.

Upon the survey, his predominant thought was of sleep and his near friends claim this to be his favorite amusement. He is one of Proctorls mainstays and is one of the original first-nighters.

At the end of this time he decided that it was back to school for his, so accordingly he came to R. P. I. At first sight Troy did not appeal to Vine , but after he had seen more of the place, especially the girls, he came to the conclusion that it was not such a bad place after all.

Here, gentle reader, you can see what that beverage, for which the above city is famous, can do for a man. Many a Trojan maiden has been smitten by his military bearing and broad iigure, 'fnote the concave shoulders , when at the head of his class he marched proudly up Broadway. Here is the man at the sight of whom many a Freshman would cower in fear, and from whom many also first received their early training in Rensselaer etiquette. Wlieli the Frosh had their Hag rush, did Vondy walk out in search like the ordinary Soph. President? Not much, this boy went out in state in a nice big motor car. Vondv was a staunch adherent of his home city, but it was not he who brought to light the fact that the women are often seen on the streets with white stockings and wooden shoes . One of his fellow students dug this out of a Rand McNally Atlas, but Vondy said those days are now past, and Milwaukee is really getting quite civilized. f'Vondy soon tired of studying to be an Electrical Engineer,-some such job as Alderman appeal- ing more to his nature, so he left us at the end of his Sophomore year.

Moreove1', to judge from his seeming indifference to femininity and his lack of cards in Electricity, etc., one would never suspect this fair youth of being the recipient of a dozen dainty epistles every day from the frozen north- land.

O, sleep, it is a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole. No one appreciates the truth of this bit of poetry more than Vincent. It matters not whether it be in classroom or church, morning or afternoon, if the required I2 hours of sleep have not been obtained then the charm of the professorls words is insufhcient to ward off the restful slumbers. The brown eyes gently close and our subject is wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. It it a wonder that Vin objects strenuously to class where the Profs. do not question alphabetically? The most important incident in the Institute history of our hero was the T912 Calculus Cremation, when two digits, one from each pedal extremity, were sacriliced to the cause. Jack Frost officiating as high priest. Vincent Myers can not be classed among the pills'l or the Ugrinds, but he puts the courses behind him just the same, and we must give him full credit for good blufting powers, a keenly absorptive mind and a highly optimistic disposition, three attributes which in accordance with the all work and no play theory are bound 'to bring success in the path he has chosen to follow. 118 UVINV, FR AANK E., 9 N E, B A B, C211j1IjfiClg'C, Born April, IISSQ, at Cambridge, N.

It is usually the case in biographies to review the life of the subject from the time the light of dawn lirst welcomed her or his start in this woeful world. In regard to this, let it sulihce to say that he was born on a farm and managed through no fault of his to reach the institute on the hill to take up the enterprising life of a civil engineer. In the case of this beautiful subject we have only to deal with his Institute life. On his hrst arrival in Troy the hay seed was still in his hair, but his association with civilized beings soon put a polish on his former savage ways as you can see from the accompanying photo- graph. lfle has spread out in all directions, even so far as to partake of more than his share of the Huid of Bacchus and to steal away the hearts of many a fair maiden. 'Tis strange that he invariably accounts for his appearance with a sweet little girl by that almost truthful expression, f'She is a great friend of the family. Of course, reader, you can construe this expression as you will, As to his good qualities we have little to say, as he likes to quote that. MI-le has no good qualities, but that we will leave to the dis- cretion of his friends. As to his bad faults and doings he seems able to suppress them all. In fact it was through his temper that he told a Rrof. that he was going to school to learn something and not to get stuck everyday. With all his faults he is a popular man among the students and is always sure of having a host of friends to make life WATTY J WILLIAM FORGUE vvaiv, Joimsmwn, N. Y. CE.

For it surely takes a wise guy to beat the Dutch. ' Harry's earliest ambition was to be a great lighter. but he found Annapolis was a long way from Albany, so he decided to do next best and be an engineer. Harry is a leading advocate of the Darwinian theory. and has shown his versatility in proving to Tony Shankey that the stove is hot because you can't keep the laboring man downf Although he is studying to be a Mechanical Engineer. we hardly think he will follow the profes- sion as he is rapidly assuming an interest in the Belt Line and by the fall of 1912 we expect him to be a director, with interest on his investment.

Clarence, l wish you to know, is from up-state, and maybe say he is not going to be some chemist. Mendeleeff will not be in comparison. lf there is anything you want to know about this subject, why, just go to Clarence and be informed immediately. l-lis price is cheap and his information reliable. Clarence is also endeavoring to become a licensed chauffeur, and is conlident that he has passed the required examination. However. since the Capitol has burned down, no record of his exams. can be found and Clarence is in tears. I-le is cheered up, however, by his beautiful, young damsel, who thinks him the only man who ever came to R. P. l. Clarence is some dancer, too. After years of earnest and' patient endeavor he has succeeded in mastering, to some extent, the two step, Waltz, and barn dance. He may be seen any Friday night after the basketball game speeling in grand style around the Armory. Clarence's future is assured, for he has a great affinity for chemistry, and a certain young lady.

Prepared at Albany Normal High School, Of course, he is a nice boy. Can you not sec that from his picture? His bright and shining countenance would make a friend of anyone. Nevertheless, with all his winning ways, very little is kown of his actions when he is away from the 'Tute. He is the p1'overbial dark horse. ln fact we hired a Pinkerton man to discover some facts about his life, but he gave it up as a had job. The swagger in his walk, he acquired from his life as a sailor, for he once piloted a sixteen foot launch through the Champlain Canal. This also accounts for the way he has of tacking knotty problems and of straieghteninfgg out the hard parts of a day's lesson. As a surveyor he is somewhat hampered from the fact that he has to carry around a small box on which to stand when looking through the instrument. 1-le is thinking somewhat seriously of inventing a sextant with stadia wires which will help to overcome this difficulty. Wie are sorry that we cannot tell you more of the life of this eminent engineer, but we are conhdent that he will not live much longer in obscurity for such a genius will not he obscured.

The ornamentation zgcompanymg this sketch is the beaming countenance of Fred, he also answers to the name of B. , and in certain cases he is known as Frederick. He came to this quiet town from out a Northern wilderness and his iirst inquiry was for the R. P. I. Insti- tute . He lost much valuable time in his nrst year trying to discover why everyone knew him to be a Freshman. He was formerly possessed of a wild and untamable nature, which was only exceeded by the milder and less untamable Sophs. 'His en- counters with the latter have become classics of daring and imagination. But he is becoming, civilized now, clue probably to the civil course he is pursuing. At the end of the Sophomore year he retired from the pursuit of executing Freshmen and turned explorer. He made frequent excursions to the dtrlear localities of Lansingbur9'l'i and other times, especially Sundays. he wended his way to the 'twastc-rs of Albia. It is even reported that he attended church regularly until he was asked to be Santa Clausn at the Sunday School Christmas tree. Now he seeks new territories , and his explora- tions lead him far away and occupy a large amount of his spare time. Spare moments, when nothing else hinders, he even studies a little, although his views and those of the books often conflict. But incidentally he is building an addition to his name in the form of a C.E. His motto is, Stick around till you get stuckn, and according to all indications he will not be found wanting when 'I2 , armed with a sheep skin, an abundance of bluff, and perhaps a little engineering. steps forth to astonish the world with their exploits. 121 UFRED HE VN-'ALTER ALLEN VVHITE, Albany, N.

This innocent looking little fellow made his first appearance at the Institute in September, 1908, and brought that smiling countenance with him. He says that he cares not for the fair sex, but the crew on the Local will tell you a different story. His favorite expression is if I only had that fellow's chance. VVe could tell innumerable stories about him, such as, why it took him a day longer than the rest of his section to complete the Iunior survey.

In the fall of nine- teen hundred and eight fIQO83, as the nine forty-live 192453 A. M. car from Schenectady drew up in front of the Troy Station Knot policej, there gracefully descended from the platform, a young, unsophisticated gentleman, who bears the cognomen of Herman F. VViedeman, better known as Dutch , Wiedeiiiaii, not being a stranger in this locality, immediately ascended to the Carnegie building. VVhen he was interviewed by one of the faculty, who after making a careful survey of his general appearance and manly bear- ing Calso noting the carpet bag, which Dutch carried in his left hand and an umbrella in the right, together with a tooth brush and comb in his vest pocketj, decided that he had the makings of a hrst-class student and his name was immediatey registered with the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twelve QIQTZD. In disposition he is as mild and harmless as a Virginia Cherootng but his reputation in Schenectady being rather shady he proceeded to cleanse it at the fountain of the Oh Be joyful liquid, as produced in the Old German way on Spring Avenue. Outside of a slight failure toward study, we will all say that Dutch is O.

Wfhen this pocket edition of Isaac VValton came into our midst, we began to sit up and take notice for it was plain to be seen that this little pill was nothing short of a wonder. 'He is an ardent lover of out-of-doors and a keen observer of beauties and forces of nature. We hrmly believe that if Sir Isaac Newton had not discovered that an apple would fall from a tree, 'AWitty would have, but then, of course, Sir Isaac had the hrst chance. As we have said before, the one great pastime of this boy is fishing, and on any Saturday when the trout are biting, you can End him patiently whipping some nearby stream. In fact we sometimes think that this fad has gone to his head, for during the course in testing he computed the tensile strength of an oiled silk fish-line, and the amount of flexure produced in a split-bamboo fly rod with a two-pound trout on the end of the line in a rough piece of water. Nevertheless. we can forgive him some of these faults, for when he turns that bright and shining face of his toward you and calls out, Say, fellow, you forget the past for a moment. Perhaps one of the reasons why W'itty has such success is that he never becomes fussed and always presents that same calm and unruffled appearance, and besides we have never found anything that could induce him to appear in the classroom one minute before the appointed hour. The one great mystery attached to this youngster is that, being such a nice boy and having so many good features, his heart is still in the right place, but we feel conhdent that with the advent of this volume, showing his good qualities to the world, he will be captured by some fair maiden who will appreciate such a prize.

Hailing from the midst of the Adirondacks, one would naturally expect to see such a long, lank, lean specimen of humanity, possessing- the inildness of his native environ- ment. However, to the contrary, KVoodie is a very quiet and harmless chap and with no bad intentions. just carefully look at those innocent eyes, and the smiling countenance, the high forehead as a symbol of knowledge. With this brilliant young man, spooning seems to have been handed down to him as second nature and everyone wonders what is constantly drawing him towards Eighth Street-he says the Institute- as a matter of fact, in the meantime the Troy officials are searching for the cause of a groove in the flagstone leading to a certain Eighth Street mansion. Among his other abilities may be included his special property of compelling his body to partake of the nature of rubber as soon as he reaches the hash house. Furthermore, we might mention his great desire to 'ipound his ear throughout the morning instead of the evening hours. He is an excellent student, especially in topographical survey computa- tions, when he always managed to have his result exceed the minimum limit by at least one or two, with the Profs. looking over his shoulder. No doubt he derived this remark- able keenness and ambition t?D from the early red skin settlers of his native town. However, we might correctly infer that his parents had an intuition of all their son's abilities as a future engineer, as he is one, keeping at the helm of his.own, ship, and always bearing in mind that the great art of commanding istto take-his share of the work. Consequently we all wish hmrthe greatest success in all his activities corn- po CHEE XVU, Canton, China. CE. Born May 5, 1886, at Canton, China. Came to U. S. in 1898. Prepared at Mt.

Everyone knows how the average ish stories run, well, his fishing trips have anything you ever heard beat to a hard finish. He seems to be quite a favorite with the ladies, but inasmuch as he is careful to notice only those who hale from Brookline, no details can be learned. He says very little, but thinks a great deal. One might suspect him of being rather dangerous. on account of this apparent bashful- ness, but this far no harm has ever been known to come from any of his acts or words. Sum is an orator of no mean ability. He can imitate anything from a rube to a fog horn. No doubt this boy, now young and somewhat wild, will some day make a mark in the world. We hope nothing serious will happen to him, as he sometimes shows signs of having in him the making of a great man. a 125 H E KE HEN NRY CHARLES SELLER, B A B, 9 N E, Amsterdam, N. Y. C.E.

'l, l9l3 Class History XVAY back in September, about 170 ex-Freshmen, came back to Troy and were greatly surprised to x End, that the town looked just the same to a Sophomore, as it did to a Freshman. VVe immedi- ately took in all of the privileges of a Sophomore. Wfe had our grey class hats, we smoked pipes, and we used the approach, if we had to walk a mile extra to do it. For the first few days, it actually seemed good to be back. Wie liked the excitement of starting in a new class, but we forgot N H , to reckon on all the work we had coming, and how tired all would get, of old Troy. The iirst day here is, by tradition, a big one for us. Center Island was secured for the exer- cises and we were well advertised. ln the usual Five inning game we won, 4-o. Then came the Cane Rush, which was for the hrst time a real rush, rather than a clothes tearing match. Wfe won that, 11 hands to Io, and incidentally swallowed enough grease to slide us through any class, if physical slipperiness counted. That night there was the usual parade, Emma 'Willard stunts, and climb up Grand Street hill. This rush was fought under new rules, but we managed to win it. One little incident, which happened at the opening of the term is rather interesting, at least it was to the participants. The Freshmen and Sophomores were holding class meetings at the same time, the Freshmen got out first and proceeded down the Approach and had a class picture taken. Naturally when the news reached our meeting, there was a general exodus, but we were too late, it was all over. Then most of our fellows went home and the Freshmen had disappeared. Later the Freshmen came back and marched up the Approach, where about ten of our fellows tried to stop them. I said it was exciting, l might add, painful, and drop the subject. 133 Things ran on for some time, under the head of our President, without much excitement, until the 14th of October. Wfe were on the watch for the Hag rush, but it was a sort of a surprise to find the notice posted at 2 P. M. Scouts were sent out and by 5 P. M., the Hag was located on the gate-house of a reservoir in XVater- vliet. Our whole class was over there by 7 P. M., and we made ourselves comfortable QPJ for the night. Next day there were battles on land and on sea. We managed, after a nice scrap, to tie up the lireshmen, who came upon land. The fellows on the raft had a harder time, their struggle was more with wits than muscle, but just about 45 minutes before our time was up, Christie laid hands on the Hag and dropped it in the water. it surely was a great day. Since that time, the snow has come and gone, without giving us excitement, l guess the Freshmen tried hard enough to give us a sleigh-rush, but the hotel people for miles around objected. At any rate there was none. In November, we played a little football with the Freshmen and won by a score of I2 to 6. In March we played them in basketball and this time they won, by a score of 27 to 21, but it was some game. The teams were evenly matched and the score was constantly giving one or the other the advantage. Between rushes and games we went to classes, studied and got stuck. The first term we met Prof. X Wfe learned how to use rhyme and rythm in building bridges and how closely the subjunctive mood was con- nected, with the laying out of a railroad. In spite of Prof's warnings. about black ink and folding papers, at the beginning of the turn, about half of us have tried every mouth or so, to convince the English department, that we are wise, in the ways of grammar. The rest of the year has been just plain work: and nothing worth mentioning has hannened. I had, per- haps, better say, Hnothing worthy of note has occurred. 'We had our Soiree and Banquet and we are now look- ing forward to our Summer Survey. lt is getting close to the end of the term now and we are wondering whether Troy looks the same to- an upper-classman as to an under-classman. Wfe have heard. that it does not. I wonder why? Heres expecting. HISTORIAN, 'I3. 134 Class of 1913 Edward Price Abbott, A T A, Plainneld, N. J. Elmer Valentine Ackor, Plainfield, N. J.

VVe noticed, also, a great many posters, printed in green, stuck around all over town: there was a lot of writing on them about pipes, trousers, commandments, etc., none of which we could understand, to say nothing of a most admirable picture of our class president, Mr. B. C. VVood. The day after we elected Ulr. W'ood as our most noble and highly exalted leader, we decided ,E that we would have our class picture taken. Thinking that the Approach would make a first-class setting, we went down ther :. Un the way, we were surprised at the lack of pipes, rolled up trousers, and red and grey hats about the Campus. CVVe found out later that they were holding a meeting to discuss the best ways of keeping the Freshmen off of the Approachy. But, to go on with the story, we went down on the Approach and had two pictures taken. just as the photographer snapped the last one we noticed a whole fleet of pipes, red and gray hats, and rolled up trousers coming down towards us. They seemed angry, so we thought it best to stop them and nad the cause of their wrath. Wfe were surprised beyond measure to find that they were mad at us, but, as they seemed intent upon a fight, we rolled them around the ground for a while, and then pulled them to pieces to see what they were made of. VVe could ind nothing inside of the hat, but the pipe and trousers were hung on a sort of frame which,-some upperclassmen told us,-together with the pipe, hat, and trousers, were called-Sophoniores3 that it was the Sophomores who had put the posters up all over town, and that the writing on the posters was supposed to be poetry telling us a whole lot of things that we couldnt dog a whole lot more that we must dog and what would happen to us if we didn't 141 v K obey the Sophomores, rules. It all sounded very bloody, indeed: but the old proverb that a barking dogynever bites still holds. Vlfe didn't know just what the word sophomore meant, so looked it up in the dictionaryg we found: derived from a Greek words meaning foolish. VVe thought this very appropriate. It took us only a few days to tame the Sophomore s. By now, any of them will eat off of our handg and a few are showing really remarkable brightness, we hope to make real engineers out of them later, even the Faculty are quite hopeful. Of course, in the training of any animal, one must first impress upon the beasts mind who is the masterg then you can begin with the training. NVe had clearly impressed the fact that we were the masters, upon the minds of the Sofphomores, so we beganito train them. The Hrst Saturday that we could spare, we took them over to Center Island, to teach them a liittle baseball. They were very apt pupils, and before long we had picked a team. Then we noticed that they were loosing all confidence in themselves. Im- mediately, we understood: we had been too harsh with them in the beginning of our course: to give them new confidence, we let them beat us by a score of 4 to o. :X fter the baseball game we held a cane rush. The official uniform for this rush is a good thick coat of axle grease. after having donned this, we started in, in real earnest. I doubt if anyone who was in the rush saw much besides grease, mud ' and pieces of clothing Hying through the air. The. outcome was eleven to ten hands on the cane at the end df seven minutes, and it, too. was in the favor of the Sophomores. . That evening, the Hill Rush was held. Many of the Freshmen hadx severe attacks of frigidness of the pedal extremities,-probably caused by over exertion at the Cane Ruslrik-and had to remain at home to care for themselves. Wfhen the Sophomores won the I-Iill Rush, we were so pre id of them that we decided to take them out and show the people of Troy what a really remarkable class they were. The Seniors and juniors, preceded by a band, went ahead to show them that there was nothing Lo be afraid of: while we brought up the rear to see that none escaped. Wfhen they tired of parading around town we took them down to the old Emma Vlfillard campus and played with them for a long time. Some time, qitite late.-they seemed to begin to loose interest, so we allowed them to go home. l 142 3' 1 , , 1 , I l Since then, things have gone pretty smoothly, we turned the Sophomores over to the Faculty, who seem to be able to manage them quite well. Of course, at frrst we had to tie them up a couple of times, and help the Profs. out once in a while in similar ways, but they keep getting more and more docile. Once, last term, they became so depressed that we thought it absolutely necessary to do something to liven them up a little, so we held the Flag Rush. Wle put the Hag up, on the gate house of one of the old reservoirs over in Vlfatervliet. The Sophomores came after it on a raft with a ladder stuck up in the middle for a mast. At first, their attempts at seamanship were positively comical but, after a little over twenty-two hours, it got to be really pathetic, and then, too, their mismanagement of the raft was heart-rending. The outcome of it all was that we broke down and cried, and gave them the Hag to prevent further suffering. The Faculty seems to be taking first-class care of the Sophomores, so we deemed the Sleigh Rush unneces- sary, and didn't have any. ln fact, they are getting along so well that we expect to turn them over to the Faculty, entirely, in the spring. Wle will do so with all best wishes, and hoping that they may make as good progress under the Faculty, as they did under our loving care. Vtfhile we were working on the Sophomores, the Faculty have been trying to hammer us into some sort of shape. They have worked hard, fso have web with varied degrees of successg but we all appreciate what our Profs. have done for us, and look forward to our coming years at Rensselaer with some misgivings, plenty of hope and the determination to do our best.

Little was accomplished at First, but as the weeks went by the squad grew and plenty of new material was found and developed: Lyall, Ralli, and Fenton, who had failed to come out for two years, showed up and made valuable material before the season closed, Lyall doing especially well. Partenfelder, ,II, developed into a good man, considering his first year on the gridiron, 1913, which had heretofore given little material to the 'Varsity, placed several good men in the held, among whom was Ryan, who well filled the end position left vacant by jack Inskip, who graduated. The Freshman class brought some very good material, which helped a great deal. Woods, Topping and Kinlock proved to be good men. Topping did not have a good chance to show what he could do as he was hurt early in the season, which put him out of the running. Kinloek played a remarkably good game all season and will be a great help in the back held, in seasons to come. The season as good a one as we have had, although we did not win the majority of games, owing to many injuries, the team as a whole demonstrated that they were far from the average col- lege team, and with a year's working together and the losing of only two men, we should have a banner year the coming season. The season opened with Williams at Williaiiistowii, on Septem- ber 24, and it can be frankly said, that we had the Massachusetts' HE football season opened without the services of Inglis, 209 boys pretty well frightened 'till the whistle blew in the second half and proved the score to be 0-0. The following Saturday we journeyed to Ithaca and met Cornell. This proved to be the big disaster of the season, as that game cost us the services of Shankey, Topping, Turner, and Summers, all of whom had been playing an excellent game. On October 15th Hobart met us for the first time on the gridiron, and although we out-played them from start to finish, they managed to nose out with a 6-5 vic- tory. Worcester was next in line and took us into camp at Wor- cester by the score of 8-0. VVe were greatly handicapped during this game as we had lost the services of several of the regular 'Varsity line-up. It might be said here, that from the Cornell game till the Rochester game, the team was badly crippled and did remarkably well in holding their opponents clown to such low scores, having anywhere from three to six scrubs in the line-up. Hamilton was defeated I2-0 on the campus in a pretty game and and the following Saturday, Stevens defeated us-by the same score. The Rochester game again showed the varsity line-up for the first time in four weeks and anyone who saw the game will back the statement that we had an excellent team. Rochester made one first down in the latter part of the game and if our men had not been out of the game for so long a time the score might have been better than O-O. Middlebury closed the season, we defeating them 34 to 6. Al- though the score does not look interesting, the game demonstrated that the Institute had a team well worth supporting and we hope to see them this coming year with a little better luck.

It was the first game and time the team had played together and consequently, our opponents were too strong and defeated us by the score of S to 3. Revenge was in every man's heart when we met Stevens the following' Saturday in Troy, and the result was a victory by the score of TO to 3. The following Saturday we won again, 9 to 1. Ou May 21, Athletic Day. we met our second and last defeat. The team played good ball, but one error proved costly and was the result of their winning the game, 5 to 3. W V Y C P L - K . . C .N .

Probably one of the best games of baseball ever played on the hill, was played with Rochester on May 28, when we won by the score of 2 to 3. Rochester came with the determination of taking away a victory and played their best pitcher against us. The honors of the day must be given to Higbee, or Swatt , as he was afterwards called. l-le being at bat four times, making one home run, one three-bagger, and a single. The last game was won, 6 to 3, from Middlebury, the game with Massachusetts State being cancelled on account of rain. The batting average of the team was far above that of any team the 'Institute ever had, there being six men who batted above 250. The coming season we hope to have a team that will surpass even that of last year as we only lose Captain Fleeger by gradu- ation, and t'Iack lnglis and Pauly failed to return to the Insti- tute. These positions, however, will be hard to till, as all of these fellows played good ball and their loss will be felt. Schedule Apr. 30. Fordham, S3 R. P. I., 3. At New York. May 7. Stevens, 3: R. P.

The backing the team got from the student body was extremely poor. No team can be expected to produce results without the support of the student body. But let bygones be bygones. As we will have almost the same identical team next year we hope the whole Institute will be there with bells on. A new team has been developed, the interclass series has shown plenty of new material, so there is no reason why next year's team can not be as successful as former teams. 217 Jack Inglis, Coach .Fx Lf A - I ,.,, - l.

Fonaa, '13 T5 Q, A EQEMQQQZMJQQMQQMEMZQHMMEMQQEQZMAKZQMQKMZQQQQE ff r Editor's Desk Athletics fflgilfl QHLETICS have undergone a complete change here, within the last few years-. Since the completion of the athletic field and the Rensselaer Union Clubhouse, the Wil-iigi standard of our teams has been raised materially. The held has given us a place to practice and play our outdoor games. A lack of a held handicapped previous teams to such an extent, that it seems a wonder that a representative team was ever gotten together. The Rensselaer Union, as the controlling factor of athletics, has brought about a busi- ness-like method of managing and linancing the different sports. This alone ensures the future of our teams. Of course, the Rensselaer Union is dependent upon the student support, but we -hope no trouble will ever arise from this source. Our teams during the past year, although not having as many victories to their credit as usual, achieved success, in showing that, although they were not winning, they could put up a clean, sportsmanlike game, This in itself is worthy of mention at the present time, for the feeling in general in all colleges is not, to witness or participate in a contest for the sake of the game itself, but simply to gain a victory over a rival team. lt was shown that this feeling exists here as elsewhere, by the in attendance at the different games participated during the past season. It should be remembered that, with the opening last fall, the eligibility rules governing athletics marked decrease in by our teams of the lirst term were put in en- 248 forcement, this combined with the failure of many of our ath- letes returning here, created a very dubious situation. The foot- ball coach set to work and nevertheless turned out a very credit- able team. The basketball and hockey teams were confronted with the same difficulties at the outset, each team having but three former 'Varsity players eligible. Both teams suffered many defeats, but one thing was being accomplished, teams were being developed, which it is expected will bring them to the fore- ground again next year. The baseball and track team were a little more fortunate and their showing to date, has proven that they can hold their own. A new branch of athletics, tennis, has a team which has made its debut. This team owes its development to the splendid courts, which were laid out on the campus. About a quarter of the student body has taken up this game within the last two years and from the result of the tournaments held at various times, the athletic committee considered the material very prom- ising and consequently to arouse still more interest in this sport, a schedule has been made up. The success of this team is assured and it remains to everyone to support it, to the same degree as the other teams. The athletic committee of the Rensselaer Union during the past few months, adopted an MR hat, which can be worn this method of dis- the men, who have it will also tend to candidates for the solely by R winners. lt is expected that playing an R will prove more valuable to the privilege of wearing the letter and that enhance its value, thereby attracting more various teams. An R did not seem to tempt very many men, as once won, the methods of displaying it were exceedingly limited, undoubtedly this departure will eliminate this drawback. The existing conditions in athletics are very encourag- ing. The efficient board of managers has given us very attrac- tive and interesting schedules, the men have shown their will- ingness to practice faithfully under the coaches guidance and we hope some means will be attained in the near future to enable all the teams to have their own individual coach. Student Council - During the past year nothing much has been heard from the Student Council, but, it has, nevertheless, been working along quietly and effectively. Regular meetings were held every month and several matters were taken up and handed in such a way as to prove the success of such an organization, The first important question to come up was with reference to the study room in the Carnegie Building. This room had been closed by the Director because of the tearing out of the electric light hxtures by some person, supposedly a student. Appreciat- ing the value of this room to some of the out-of-town students the Council took up the matter of having it re-opened, with the result that it was again opened for use after having been closed for only a few days. . The next question was that of having two D exams. for second term subjects. This was brought to the Council by the students and they took it up with the Faculty. After giving the matter careful consideration the Faculty concluded that it was not advisable to give the extra exams. This decision was trans- mitted to the Council with some very strong arguments support- ing it. The Council has also been working to organize a new honor- ary society for the men who have been active in student affairs 249 at the Institute. Such societies at other colleges have proven very successful in fostering college spirit and membership in them highly prized. The Council expects to have the society at Rensselaer thoroughly organized before the term is up. The above are a few of the more important questions which have been handled by the Council this year. Numerous other small matters have been disposed of with an ease and facility which would greatly surprise some of the old grads who found it necessary to send around a petition every time they wanted to consult with the Faculty. The value of the Council is not thoroughly appreciated yet but as time goes on it will undoubtedly become more and more etlicient and will inspire the confidence of the students. The Faculty has shown itself entirely in sympathy with the work of the Council and has been ready and willing at all times to carefully consider anything brought to them by the Council. That Green Button The Class of 1912, having been the last one to wear the green button, it is no more than natural that an appeal for its restora- tion should appear in its publication. It seems to be a queer coin- cidence, that since the abolition of this custom a good share of the Institute student affairs have been gradually dwindling, both in interest, and support from the two lower classes. During the past year, for instance, a good many athletic contests were at- tended solely by Seniors and Juniors, solely, for an attendance, from actual count at two successful basketball games, of three Sophomores and four Freshmen, is an absurdity. There must be a reason for such happenings, everyone knows that the two lower classes are always counted upon to have the greater repre- sentation, due to their larger number. How is it that a reversal should have occurred at this particular time? Such a state of affairs cannot be cited as Z1 precedent. VVe wore the green button and it is safe to say that out of a class of approximately 250, there was not more than ten who had the slightest objection to wearing it. No one has ever been known to suffer because this cap was worn and it is an absolute fact, that the classes, who have had the privilege of using this cap, have always thought of it as advantageous. The system of teaching employed here, does not allow a student to become acquainted with the rest of his classmates for a good many months and in many cases, some fellows never meet even in the same building, consequently these men rarely ever know a majority of their own classmen. The green button was the best means, of acquaintanceship possible for the Freslnnen and that if one of the reasons why the Senior and Junior classes have always held as a unit, have chummed together, attended the games regularly, for being known by the rest of their class- mates, they made it a point not to admit of their censure if absent, of course. this refers to those who have any school spirit at all, for many could never be persuaded to attend, even upon the presentation of a ticket gratis. The word hazing can be made to cover a wide range, but how is it that in many colleges where the faculty have laid stringent 1'ules against all forms of hazing, that no mention is made of thewearing of Freshmen caps? If any one went to a Freshman class meeting today and explained the use of the Freshman cap for a moment, everyone would gladly avail them- selves of the privilege of wearing it, This is no idle statement for the opinions of many Freshmen, both last fall and the pre- ceding year, were heard regarding this matter. Institute customs and with it Institute spirit are gradually ebbing and unless something is done in the near future, the 'stick-together spirit which has always characterized the Insti- tute student body, will be a thing of the past. Any of the gradu- ates know what this will mean, they have been through it and know that the student point of view is not always wrong. We 250 may have a different way of looking at things at times but, we also are in a position to know and see some things in their true sense. If the student body objected to some new, extraordinary departure. the faculty would immediately proceed to show us the benetits to be derived from this new departui'e. The only reason advanced against the wearing of the green button, is that many men who are older than the average in the entering classes each year. object from time to time to wear this form of head- gear, declaring it to be ludicrous. This is a feasible excuse and exception can easily be made when these conditions arise, but there is no reason because one man in two hundred or more ob- jects, everyone should be made to follow his example. XVe hope this matter will be taken tip again and the Students' Council could easily manage it. Rules made and enforced by them could be made to suit all possible conditions and guard against any infraction of such regulations. that the Faculty and Students' Council agreed upon. The Polytechnic The past year has witnessed a marked advancement in the Polytechnic. The size has been materially increased, the leading articles have been of the customary high standard and the articles contributed by the students have been of unusual merit. Due to the extra amount of work relating to the publishing of the paper, the Board of Associate Editors had to be increased during the past year. The work is now much more evenly divided, consequently the Senior and Junior members are allowed a little relaxation from the duties pertaining to the pub- lication. The Polytechnic constitutes one of the school activities which is not very clearly understood by the under-graduate body in general. The work attached to it, unlike other school activities, lasts throughout the school year. The benefits derived from being a member of the Board consists in getting accustomed to receiving knocks from the disinterested, which are in the major- ity, and ability in gathering cigarette butts from the Polytech- nic box, which form the greater part of the monthly contribu- ions by the students. The members comprising the Board have the same curriculum to follow during the year as the rest of their classmatesg there- fore it seems that some help should be extended towards the publication of a periodical which has attained high rank among its contemporaries, and which is the representative organ of the student body. It is interesting to note that the appearance of the Polytechnic is usually looked forward to around the first of the month. Have you ever stopped to think how you could have helped to improve the number you were reading? A little joke alone heard in the classroom, noted and handed to one of the editors, would increase the size a tritie. A few such short notes, occupying a moment of your time, handed in throughout the year would show to advantage. VVe extend our congratulations to the Polytechnic Board and sincerely hope that they will experience no difficulty during the coming year in upholding' the standard of our Alma Mater along this important branch of Institute work. Musical Organizations The past year has marked the advent of three new musical organizations, The orchestra, the band and the glee club organ- ized in the order named. The orchestra gave a series of con- certs in places around Troy and attained a prominent place in musical circles. Every concert given was a pronounced success and one of Troy's leading musicians stated that it was about the best students' orchestra that he had ever heard. 251 The student's band is an innovation here and it has shown itself capable of producing music satisfactory .to all. The band made its first public appearance on the day of the Rochester- R. P. I. football game, and its services have been in constant demand for all student parades ever since. The glee club has been revived again and from the interest shown there is no doubt of its permanent existence. The con- certs given during the past winter brought forth praise from everyone fortunate enough to attend. It was a well-balanced and carefully trained body and worthy of comparison with other further developed glee clubs of other colleges. Too much credit cannot be given the men, who have sacrificed their leisure time, which amounts to very little here, to practice in these organiza- tions. The student attendance could have beenilarger at the orchestra and glee club concerts, and we hope that next season sufficient interest will be aroused to ensure larger attendances so as to show the men that their work is fully appreciated. A The Aeronautical Club The Aeronautical Club was organized last March and thereby placed us in line with most of the other progressive colleges of the country. At its inception, it was looked upon as a sort of a joke, but its membership has been steadily increasing, which shows that the purpose of the organizers is being fulfilled. The study of aeronautics is gradually leaving the experimental field, due to the untiring efforts of men who are deeply interested in this matter. Rensselaer has always taken the lead in engineering, conse- quently this subject, although not existing in the curriculum, is studied as a pastime by the members of the Society. They hope to own a glider in the near future and experiments are to be carried on. Such an organization deserves student support, and we trust that the enrollment will, in the near future, contain a majority of the student body, Our Advertisers The Transit Board this year has experienced the same diffi- culty in securing advertising matter, as preceding boards. The business manager was rebuffed more than once by someone ask- ing' what benefit they were expected to derive, by the insertion of an advertisement. Students never stop to think in what man- ner the school publications are Hnanced, if they did, probably many obstacles would 'be removed for the business managers. Our advertisers are representative dealers and students already patronizing them will assure you, if you are not one of them, that you will be satislied in every way by dealing with them. The number of advertisements regulate the size of the book, Take our school paper for instance, if it were not for our adver- tisers, how do you imagine it would exist'?? Its size fluctuates according to the number of advertisements, consequently they are its direct support. Is it a wonder, advertisers do not feel satisfied, if after expending money towards a student activity, in which they have no interest, they receive no beneficial results in return? Look over our list ofuadvertisers and give them a trial, we assure you of perfect satisfaction and by patronizing them, you will be also helping a few student activities.

W'e knew that we could get out of the place without riding through ten miles of dusty country in a springless wagon. Section One Trips to North Adams, Bennington and Sand Springs were made with persistent regularity. Perhaps that is why we did not feel like getting up in the early morning and starting to Work. As a bunch we were not over energetic. No one wanted to do more than his neighbor. If it were not for our friend and coun- sellor, Prof. Babcock, Cwho ran at least half the survey him- selfj, we would still be up there. The only kick we had about our Prof. was that he would not take our advice in anything and was always around to see that no fudging was done. He also was a little rusty on some of his methods and we had some queer looking curves, However, he corrected the maps so we all passed. VVe did not hnish at VVilliamstown, but had to set slope stakes on the campus. It poured on our last day in the town and we just finished the last tangent in time. VVe were then Eve miles from town, and we had a straw ride back. VVhen we 262 came to the lields through which our line ran, Prof. asked for volunteers to pull out the stakes. No one could see the reason for pulling them out, especially while it rained so hard, so Prof. started to do it himself. After he started one of the party took pity on him and helped him out. There were many other incidents which might be related at length, but it would take up too much space. S0 we will cut this short by giving the personnel of the party with some ques- tions to ask them. Then watch the expression of their face: Cutler-XVhat did you call the Prof.? Dore-Did you like the crowd, John? Hahn-'Why did you always go for a drink of water? l-laite-Are there pretty nice girls in North Adams? Kenneston-Are you proud? Lippitt-ls Jesse james dead yet? Illingworth-How do you like working with Prof. in the morning? Greenee-Did you sell the 'XVellington yet? l-l. Booth-l-low did you like pulling stakes in the rain? Alexander-W'hy did you take those trips so often? Shaefcr-Have you heard from your beautiful friends? early Partenfelder-Are you a pinochle player? Van Burk--How ,do you feel now, Louie? Prof. Babcock-How do you work a reversed curve? Section Two On the morning of August 21, IQIO, we gathered at the Union Station for the trip to Stephentowu. The journey was unevent- ful except for the last six miles which required an hour and a half, when they coupled the combination baggage, smoking and about three miles west. VVe went with the expectation of paint- ing the place red, but when we arrived there Wasn't anything but the railroad station to paint, so the only pleasure we had was to sit on the veranda evenings and watch the dew fall. Of course we worked during the day. There was nothing else to do. The first day we got our instruments out of bondage and observation car onto the rear of a freight train. VVhen we arrived accommodations had been arranged for eight of us at a farm house, while the rest, after trying the hotel and finding beds at a dollar per and make them yourselves, stayed at Garfield, took a look over the territory on which we were to locate the railroad. On this reconnaissance Prof. Eglof let his foot slip crossing the stream and had to be hshed out of the water. Everything went along very nicely till we were crossing the Coon's farm with our line when we rashly cut down a couple of his choice apple trees two feet high which happened to be in the line of sight. NfVe were very lucky to escape with our lives. Shot guns and razors were very much in evidence for awhile. Chapman spent most of his time scaring the horses with his motorcycle and in trying to sell the railroad stock to the farmers. Prohting by our experience in getting to Stephentown we hired an automobile for the return and had a pleasant journey to Averill Park, where we took the car for Troy. The following men composed this Section: Backes, Captaing VV. Beardsley, F. Beardsley, Black, Kingsley, Fairbanks, Shorey, Sibbald, Stein, Scullen, Toole, Chapman, W'alter. Section Three W'hen the distinguished visitori' comes to our door, the natives rush out to greet him with shouts of iivVVClCOlllC to our City! The keys of the town are then presented to the stranger, and the open-door of hospitality awaits him on every side. Such. however, was not the reception accorded Section No. 3 by Steph- entown, New York, after their day's journey over the twenty miles of the Huckleberry Railroad connecting the above men- tioned village with civilization. There were no shouts of wel- come, the open-doors were all closed and locked on the inside, and the distinguished members of Section No. 3 were forced to go begging for lodging. A house to house canvas was lin-- ally made of the surrounding country and resulted in the hous- ing of all but four of the party. As these unfortunates were seated on the porch of Brown's store trying to decide whether a hay loft or a lumber yard would furnish the most protection from the frigid blasts of the Berkshire zephyrs, X1Vatson Ioyes spied a buxom country' maiden about a mile down the road. Putting on his most winning smile-and Watson has them for all ladies-he sallied forth and, whether it was by his smile or 264 his address, obtained shelter for the unfortunates. just to show the power of a pleasing manner he also secured accommodations at the same hostelry for the late arrivals, Summers and Perrin. Vtfhen Prof. Rousseau called the roll it was found that all members of the party were present except i'Chuck Strasmer. The Section immediately elected the absent-one Captain and it must be here mentioned that it was a most fortunate choice. Taking full advantage of this exalted position he deemed it a sufficient excuse from work and after assigning to the various members of the party their tasks for the day would repose Linder an apple tree and eat green apples for which he soon suffered in plenty. Prof. Rousseau ran Chuck a close second in the disposal of the apple crop of Stephcntown. Lamoreaux, Wagner, and Royer constituted the fishermen of the party and spent most of their time nshing for the illusive trout. XVagner really caught one, while Lamoreaux reported having caught the largest one, but like all proverbial big Fish it got away. XValt. Banker established a record by running the pre- liminary the hrst day. but his ambition was soon exhausted. After the iirst day Banker and Loucks spent most of the time on the station platform waiting for Larry , Drake's mail from Troy. lt always took at least two members of the party to handle Larry's mail and strange as it may seem all the letters were addressed by the same feminine hand. The history of Section 3 would not be complete without the mention of Napoleon--our famous steed. Long will the memory of the nightly trips to the postofhce back of this famous step- per CU be remembered. Although there was less than a mile separating us from the postoffice, it took two hours for Napoleon to make the trip and no amount of urging could induce him to change his gait. XVe were all glad to leave Stephentown at the end of the week, but not without a certain feeling of sadness, for it was the last survey for 1911 and the end of many good times. Section Four It being the long-established custom of the Faculty to cut short our Senior vacation and drag us away from summer aFfinities to locate some imaginary railroad, Section Four found itself a victim of circumstances and couldn't help being cast into .Averill Park one August day last year. Our coming was, in a way, a Did we not enrich the local auto earnings. not to mention adding to great thing for the town. trust and increase the hotel the society, culture, etc., etc.? To be sure, we did! That is why the 23rd of August, IQII, will be a holiday in Averill Park. The section was composed of the following members: Volcker, Koerner, Bates, Bode, Brown, Bush, Kilby, Kilmer, Loomis. Elliot, Perry, Parker, and Hinricks. Wlieii the last stragglers arrived in the afternoon, the lirst meeting was held, under the open sky, the suit cases acting in lieu of seats. Volcker was elected Captain. Then followed a long and involved argument as 265 to which hotel was to be honored by our patronage. Keeler's seemed, by the Theorem of Three Moments, Cbreakfast, dinner, and supperj to have the most advantages, being in the middle of the territory. Accordingly we hired the town auto, which in two trips transported us over the road at terrific speed to Keeler's, where all unpacked and made ready for the work of the morrow. Our abode was a typical two-story, country tavern, flush with the State Road and only about Fifty yards froma very pretty little lake. XIVC were well-quartered, but our grub was at times rather scanty. Indeed some of our dinners are yet to arrive. NVe soon found that our landlord had great faith in his fluid wares and was very fond of testing them often to justify his confidence, After such a test Steven became absolutely impos- sible as a commissary, which explains why our dinners seldom materialized. Steve's welcome was entirely unconventional. and all to the region of eternal relented and decided he needed our need us. S0 after all, we had the and torrid fates for him while First he consigned us each Thermodynamics. Then he money more than he didn't pleasure of picturing vivid patiently waiting at noon for the buggy, which didn't come. Prof. Clark arrived the next morning and led us three miles up the road to Alps where we were to connect with the line of the next section. And then we discovered that our tape had been left behind, so one of us had to hike back to Keeler's and fetch it back. That instrument in our lnds, We progressed more rapidly and soon had a line doped out which would bring the maximum number of nickles to our stockholders. This accomplished, the preliminary began, and each morning the bunch took to the fields and ran lines, chained distances, and mapped topography, with an occasional shot at some fair damsel through the hand level. In one instance, that of a maiden on the roof of a cottage across Glass Lake, the whole topography party was delayed until the argument as to whether she was good looking or not could be settled. After a few days of preliminary work, a location party was formed and we began to run in curves Calthough we still walked straight. There were plenty of them too, and of all the varieties mentioned by Allen. Section Four was very lucky in having Glass Lake right at our doors. Each morning some of the fellows had a before- breakfast swim, and after the day's tramping nearly everyone went in. The mere lack of bathing suits did not phase us in the least. If there were boats on the lake we waited a reasonable time for the occupants to get wise to the meaning of our natatory motions and frenzied waving of towels. and then threw clothes and bashfulness to the winds. The survey ended with a little practice in setting slope stakes on a neighboring hill. This completed we packed up, paid up, and said farewell to Averill Park. Steve seemed sorry to have us go and passed out cigars with the request to help yourself, old top! Before closing this history, the Section would like to express its appreciation of Prof. Clark's kindness and patience. Al- ways ready to help us out when our blunders bobbed up, and proving himself a pleasant and entertaining companion, he won the respect and friendship of the entire Section. I Section Five This Section was undecided whether to go under the number of live or six, when the pretty little 'gcityi' of Alps was reached, one beautiful day in August. Section 6, which was situated at Hancock, disputed our right to call ourselves by their number, so we Finally reached the conclusion, that the best way to settle this was to have a contest of some sort. VV:-: agreed to have a baseball game at the completion of the survey. VV'e played it and we also refuse to divulge the score, but we are Section Five. This noble gang consisted of Ganson, Culver, H. M. Cox. Con- nery, Reynolds, Crowe, P. VVall, A. L. Moore, Stanbery, H. B. 266 Parker, Riley, Rose and VV. McClellan. Everyone was known to be subject to fits when work was mentioned, but nevertheless work had to be done and we started in. Stanbery, of course, was accustomed to it, for he had been affiliated with one of the sections on the Junior Survey at Cambridge but a few weeks previously. Our lodging house was the best in town, flowing water nearby, electric lights at Sandlake and meals, well we refuse to go any further, but let it suffice to say that everyone went to Troy on Saturday to stay over Sunday and thereby get enough to eat to last until Monday night. On Tuesday and Wednesday we partook sparingly with thoughts of the preced- ing Sunday, and on Thursday and Friday we ate likewise, but looked forward to Saturday night. Our reconnaissance was run off in record time due to jimmy's!' especial efforts. In this part of the work, he was ably assisted by McClellan, who knew the country perfectly, having roamed around there in his childhood days and then later, it not being far from Sandlake. The spring water was very good at this place and P. XVall almost died from its effects. Parker often thought of walking to Albany. Alps being in a direct line, but for some unaccountable reason, never started. The twins, Culver and Riley, fattened in this clime and consequently the Capt. thought it best to make them work harder than the rest. His success in this matter is questionable, as both gained a few pounds during their sojourn. ' XVe worked hard and managed to linish on time and we cer- tainly were glad to shake the dust of Alps from our feet at the end of two weeks. Section Six On a bright. but warm day in August, a sport-loving band of adventurers, left their sacred haunts of Troy to go forth in a new and unexplored territory. They man'ed their good B. 81 M. ship with a feeling of conquest and ideas of a big show, The crew, was under the guidance of that grizzled explorer, Admiral Headden, assisted by the now famous Captain Clark, Lieutenants Frost and Hunt, Sargeants Higbee, Teiper. Crowley, Pelletier, Beaty and VVaters. Two other officers, Jim Dumps Giles and Lynch, were court martialed and reduced to common seamen for non-appearance at sailing time, and were ordered to appear at the foreign port of Hancock, Mass., immediately. After the arrival at said port by the crew of the good ship, Stop and VVait , Admiral Headden ordered all hands to scan the horizon for a bunk house. The Hancock Inn attracted the attention of the scouts and easily fell by use of 'fhush money. 267 But, oh! what a rebel camp. uf-Ioptoad Harryn, stationed in charge of this fort, made life so miserable that i'Addie ordered an evacuation. After a hard skirmish the brave crew captured the town Block House and the officers were at last installed in their quarters at Larrabee's strictly temperance hall, the place without the headache. ' Sargeant Higbee reconnoitred, but reported nothingg in fact, he did not return for orders, but was later seen by an outpost, to have in charge a prize ship and by his direct appointment he detailed himself as prize crew. Oh, what a howl went up when the rest of the crew saw f'Hig in charge of the Ugood ship, Sally. But by no orders or coaxing would he allow anyone to hoard her. Here you might ask who this good ship Sally', really was, so, for explanation. I will say, it was the only she of inviting age and personality around the joint. No time must be lost, quoth Addie Headden, for we must be up and doing in the work stuff before inspection by High Exalted Commander Cary. For l-I. E. C. . Eddie , demands business. So we unpacked our guns, put them in shape, polished our tar- gets and accessories and broke for the tall and uncut. The first day's duties were baflied by an hostile army of King Bees, but by strict work and a long slide by Sarg. Danny , we managed to get a line of communication started. At night a council of war was held by everyone, but f'Hig. , he held the arms or maybe the --- hands of Sally. The outline of the next day's battle was made. And ever was it thus. No, not always, for one night f'Sarg. Dannyn, Dud. and 'fButts left for friendly territory to visit the garrison at Stephentown. They found them, exchanged compliments and reported sober and clean in the morning. After ten days' hardship and privation, for everyone was private, but Hig. , we finished our line of communication and returned happily to our home port. No, not Port Arthur, but one just as good. to hold services for our safe return to civiliza- tion ancl the home of the pretty girl, as well as the best John Stantorfs Export.

The answer was Heerlein, of whom we were all duly jealous. It is surprising, however, how much can be learned in a vil- lage consisting of two houses and a barn, but the best way to prove this is to point out the lesson learned by each of the bunch , It is no easy matter to write a true record of the virtues and A'Tub -Thou shalt examine the bed before retiring. accomplishments of such a motley collection of embryo engineers, f-Hankff-Thou Shalt mn faster than a bull. lirst, because of, our natural modesty, and secondly, because the nLeather Headn-Thou Shalt talk of South America- above virtues might not stand the light of publicity. 268 NPO 1: p -All is not cider that is in a jug.

However, experience always was a hard teacher and we all profited by our stay in the Berkshires. Perhaps we should mention that one gentleman had strenuous objections to our railroad and threatened not only to eject us from his land, but also to abolish the Institute entirely. It took the combined efforts of Percy Jones, Prof. Puffer and l'Pop Nordell to hnally persuade that person that we were only en- gaged in a little harmless picnic. This treaty of peace was cele-- brated by an afternoon tea at the residence of Dr. Brusie, for which we wish to extend our thanks. The most mysterious part of this affair was the disappearance of one Percy Jones a few hours before the entertainment at Dr. Brusie's. This still re- mains unexplained. Nothwithstancling the above rough experiences, we wish to extend our best wishes to the people of South Williamstowii and thank them for their many considerations. We especially thank Mr. Steele for his kindness and efforts to make our stay a pleasant one and we will always remember our week at his home when in the future we shall meet and discuss Hold times. as --- aa . 1 Hamilton - R. P. I. 269 Ee vc. C xv, Rensselaer Union Clubhouse. Section One Topographical Survey . left Union Station, Troy, N. Y., on Monday morning and arrived safelv in Cambridge before noon. By noon we were located in the two hotels and spent the afternoon in going over the ground allotted to us. ln the evening we observed Polaris, and as we up late to do so, we spent the evening in Cambridge, and incidentally, in getting with us. One of the events of the evening r-1-:':'v1 ' I El were obliged to remain getting acquainted w:fh Cambridge acquainted was an automobile ride. Unfortunately, the automobile was lacking in most all of the necessary equipment, such as an engineer, stearing-gear, tires, etc., and the only method of making it go was to allow it to run down hill at its own sweet will and pleasure. And it seldom failed to become entangled with some tree or telegraph pole be- fore it had gone very far. However, it served its purpose even better than a more complete machine might have done. The school bell rang very mysteriously late in the eveningg and as it sounded quite a bit like the Ere bell, it caused some excitement. Farmers came in from all directions to help fight the tire. We were well entertained in Cambridge, being invited to dances and a musical in the ten days we were there, so we cer- tainly have cause to remember our stay there. Section One consisted of W'agner, Glueck, Drake, Dore. Lamoreaux, Stanbery and Tonnelier. Glueck was the star ladies' man of the Section. It only took him one day to become 271 acquainted with every girl in the place. And he could have easily saved his entire board bill had he accepted the numerous invitations to dinner that he received, Glueck, Dore and Stan- bery were the prize level section. They checked out on their levels anywhere within twenty-live feet. Lamoreaux's particular specialty was furnishing power for the automobile. He was as good as any six-cylinder on the market when it came to hills, and it was impossible to kill him. VVagner acted as chauffeur for the auto. Tonnelier considered it his duty to smoke up all the cigars in town, and he succeeded fairly well. It was a samaritan act, however, because it was the hrst time in years that the town had an entirely fresh supply. Stanbery considered himself the fifth wheel of the wagon and tried to prove it, but we linally con- vinced him that he was as good a worker as the best of us. The whole Section proved their ability to work, for they kept steadily at it from noon till midnight, copying notes on the last day of the survey. We can say without a doubt that we had a thoroughly good time in Cambridge, and that we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Section Three For two or three days we were asking everybody we met if they had ever been in Cambridge, and if so, what kind of a place it was. Most reports were favorable, and we soon decided that we had drawn the best place. We arrived there about 9.30 a. ni., on June 20, and promptly made ourselves at home at the Union Hotel, otherwise known as the Onion House. That is all but one of us did, Cannon objecting to our domicile and ioining a small exclusive group at the Hotel Cambridge. The day was largely taken up in a general debate on the advantages of the two hotels, with the result that we all stayed where we were. Prof. Willianis gave us a little exercise in the afternoon by lead- ing us in a hasty survey over our choice collection of hills. Our instrument was chosen that night to End the elusive Polaris, which was reported as seen by everybody, and we were gently lulled to sleep by the ringing of the school-house bell. 275 On Tuesday we were introduced to the word polygons , which was to become the main subject of conversation for the next ten days. Those days were hlled largely with work but far from entirely so. VVe were fortunate in having a harmonious section, and there- fore never came to actual blows in the numerous disputes which necessarily arose. Judd had shown up late during the South Troy Survey, and due to the closeness of his hair-cut we strongly suspected that he had but just slipped out of jail, though he consistently denied it. Perhaps, after all, he had simply wanted to save money on his barber account. 'fluddyi' and Mo Harris were the jesters of the party and when we werenlt laughing at them they were usually laughing at each other. We didn't see niuch of Cannon after dark, ashe persisted in staying down at the other hotel and didn't like to do computations anway. He is quite literary in taste, as we discovered one day, when, after vainly calling to him to hold up the stadia rod for a back sight, he was found deeply engrossed in reading about Lydia Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. Caney liked to do computations and could work wonders with logarithms. He also distinguished himself by losing ten feet in 50 yds., when running the level. There was almost a scrap one night when Mo Harris kicked Garlinghouse out of bed dur- ing some wild dream, and then cursed him out for waking him. Captain Jolmstone nearly made himself famous, as he almost succeeded in closing a polygon with two sides left out. game with Cambridge players, an umpire, a of Judd, who insisted his head. Caney, as Section 3 showed up strongly in the ball on Saturday afternoon. It furnished two score-keeper, and a backstop in the form on stopping the pitclier's wild ones with umpire, made the biggest hit of the day. made on Thursday Cambridge society was all went down to Watty's to meet the belies help in the singing for which R. P. I. boys are so famous CPD. Saturday night the Onion house was the scene of a concert by the Cambridge band, and everybody in town seemed to be parading up and down before our quarters, On Tuesday all but one of us joined in the hay ride and dance at the Lake, the product of that inventive genius, :'Eddy . lt was on this ride that our Captain appa1'ently came near losing his heart. and a chorus of Mr, Lewis, won't you come over here?'l from the back of the hay-rigging gave Lewis dead away. Our debut into evening when we of the town, and Most of the next day and Thursday morning was spent in ll strenuous copying of notes and a dihcicult analysis of Caunon's and Harris' marvelous sketches made in the field. Before Thurs- day ended we were all back in Troy prepared to lick any man that should mention the word polygonsl'. 276 Section Four One summer morning in the latter part of June, 1910, the quiet little village of Cambridge, N. Y., was awakened from its, usual state of lethargy by the invasion of a small army of would-be engineers. This army was divided into six sections, Section Four contained six and one-half members, the fractional part being known as Wliitey . The other six follow: Capt. Dinney Desperate Snyder, First Corpustle, T. Judson Jaynes CT stands for tiredj, and privates Rough House Huhne, Silent Smith Gallagher, Dapper Branan and l'Bosco Trevino. Allow me to introduce them individually as such prominent landmarks are worth your acquaintance. Capt. Dinney Desperate Snyder has missed his profession. Judging from the way he could doctor anything from love sickness to closing a I4-sided should have been a medic,'l He had an awful habit his office force in the evening and disappearing, no- anybody or polygon, he of deserting one knows where-cause as yet unknown. His one great joy during his sojourn was to receive daily a letter from her. T, Judson Jaynes, the first assistant to our Captain. How often, on those summer evenings, as the soft zephyrs were gently murmuring through the palm trees on her front piazza, could he be heard whispering, Just a Little Hammock, Dear, and You. Although t'Jud. is not on the track team, he made a quarter-mile in nothing and a half after striking a good size hernets' nest. Blondy Huhne the has H20 hairj had such an attachment for Room 30, occupied by Dinney Jaynes, VV'hitey and Branan, that everything he laid his hands on, such as glasses, soap-dishes, pillows and Whitey were thrown in rapid succession through the transom imrnediatey after his arrival in said room. In order to test the town tire department Huhne pressed into service the leligh School bell on the night of our arrival. He found the fire department quite eiiicient- nuf sed . Gallagher or Silent Smith - still waters run deepf' Gal was first assistant to Blondy on all his escapades. One night he stormed the only moving picture show in town, capturing the flag, which, by the way, had the motto Tragedy To-night upon it. Henceforth the said banner floated from his window. Wlieii not engaged in such arduous tasks, Gal could almost always be found at the hotel fudging up the clay's work. ian. 4 . i Branan, the boy baseball wonder. He was the only member of our crew, who played on that famous ball team. Evening saw him all fussed up and strolling about the town, looking for trouble or whatever else he could find. You could not mistake him, with the cloud of Blue Line tobacco smoke and that walk. He makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical first on the first quadrant and then in the second. 277 VValter A. White, the fractional part , distinguished himself by immediately attaching himself to the first representative of the fair sex whom he encountered. This representative happened to be a fair maid of sixteen summers. Whitey broke the spell on the evening of our arrival and as a reward was given a couple of meals a clay at her ladyshipls house. Indeed, he liked the grub and the company so well that he remained in town two days after our work was completed and the others had departed for home. Virgilio Trevino, otherwise known as Bosco . He eats them alive, bites off the heads and devours the bodies. How that boy could eat! lt is rumored that when he came to pay his board bill he was obliged to pay double. Those, dear reader, are the engineers, who made that map of a part of Cambridge, unlike any ever made before. Section Five On June 20, Igio, Section Five, comprised of- the following: Lock Lockwood, Mower Creighton, Guardenier, 'fBluey7' Lyall, Mae Macdonald, and Tough McCarthy, reported at Cambridge, N. Y., ready to commence the Junior Topographical Survey. As soon as we arrived, the captains of the sections drew lots for the different tracts to be surveyed. Our Captain drew the prize package, a tract of land about a mile and a half square, situated two miles from town. In the afternoon Prof. Tessier walked out there with us and showed us what we had to do. When we saw the hills and valleys, mostly coveredlwith brush and woods, we knew that we would have plenty of work to do in the next ten days. We walked back- to thethotelil and were 'fall in. There was one advantage to workiitgso far out, we were not bothered by having any of the Profs. hanging around. Prof. Tessier walked out one day and got lost, when he finally found us he asked the shortest way back to town and when told, started back. The first night everyone had to stay up to sight on Polaris shortly after midnight. As there was nothing else to do all evening we proceeded to awaken the town. All the town folks took the,racket in good part except the Sheriff, who got real angry because some old lady complained of the noise and routed him out of bed to arrest us, but he refused to go out and stop the noise. The next day we started out to work. Everything went fine for a while. Then the fun commenced. We had the transit set up in the midde of the D. 81 H. roadbed and a flag out on the next station. We were all ready to sight on our rear Hag when we discovered that it had disappeared. A freight train was coming and we were in a hurry to get off the station. Soon alongside the rear pull up and get off us. In no peaceful Motzer . On the we discovered Motzer sleeping peacefully station. We yelled but in vain. We had to the track as the train was almost on top of frame of mind 'Macf' went back to awaken 278 way he found a tomato can and Filled it with water. Motzer awoke with a start and said afterwards that he was dreaming that hc was lying under a tree and a sudden shower came up. 'tMotzer's good humor was regained soon after when Mae attempted to cross a swamp, carrying the transit on his shoulder. VVhen about half-way across he slipped and went knee deep in the mud and slime. The next day Tough while trying to cross a stone wall topped by a barb wire fence, with the transit and the lunch, tripped on the wire. He let the transit go, but held onto the lunch. It was a bum lunch too. Between these little incidents, Guardeniers' hay-fever and 'iBluey,s stories, we had plenty of fun. We finished our work on the 30th of ,Tune and worked all night on our notes in order that we could leave the next morning. The town folks treated us royally and made things as enjoy- able for us as possible, and we owe a good deal to them for the good time that we had. Section Six Nestled among the foothills of the Berkshires, free from the noise and disorder of the bustling city, surrounded by peaceful farms, where the lowing bovines gently chew their cuds and the grunting swine noisily chaw their cobs and the sturdy farmers indifferently turn their quids, lies the enchanting little hamlet of Cambridge. O, you farsighted, discerning Profs. VVhy, O why, did you choose this Ripvanwinkilian villa, in which to turn loose this gang of rowdy toughs to do their dirty deeds of despoilation and desecration? Better might you have forearmed us with a course in resistances-resistances to the wiles and allurernents of inno- cents and unsuspecting maids and' electric lights. The personnel of Section 6 is printed here as part of that dis- graceful gang: Vinnyi' Vllard, Bunnyl' Eaton, Jack Dalton, 1-loke Harrington, Dutchl' Van Eman and Cap Smith. VVe place the Captain last as he did the least work. Computing polygons was the favorite pastime of Messrs. VVard and Eaton. Every evening, with thc exception of week days and Sundays, these two mathematical sharks could be found from 7 P. M. till 3 A. M., working over one' polygon, then to find that it had been computed previously by some other mem- ber of the party between courses at dinner. On other nights, well, after the incandescent was accidently Q75 broken, we could 11ot tell whether they used two hammocks or one. Van, who shuns society, spent his idle hours Cwe hesitate to say what they werel exploring the beauties of the Flora and fma in the neighborhood. One particular specie of the former he claims is unsurpassed. 279 One member of Section Six was heard to repeat, t'Pretty Polly , in his sleep one afternoon, but who can say what it signilied? One thing is certain, there were no parrots in the town. ' XVhile Vin was saying Grace every morning, Jack and bloke would be saying something just as unimportantg but why get personal? Sufficient to say that we would do it all over again with but little urging. Section Seven The following were its members: Pinkey Farrell, Capt. and Assistant Fudger. Billiken Bennett, Mascot. Drex', Drexler, Chief Fudger. Pill Fallon,'Section Grouch. Rigglesll Riggs, Main Fusser. Chinkl' XXVLI, The Wistftil One. Squaw', Schneider, Cradle Snatcher. P P '? ?, Merry Vlfidow. This renowned and illustrious section landed in Bennington with roseate visions beyond imagination. On arriving we were escorted to a hotel Cwhich, by the way, was only a boarding housej by one of our fellow-classmates, who was ambitious enough to go up the day before. We left our suit cases here and proceeded to see the town. After the few minutes it took to see the whole place we went to Prof. Fox and got instructions about our future work. At night everybody went hfussingn for a while, at least, and then we sighted on Polaris. Next day we started in work and everything went wrong. Our Section Grouch was running levels on a street where lived the fairest maidens Cso he saidj. He managed, after running around the polygon twice, to check within two feet. How he did it and still found so much time to sit on the lawn with his affinity we have never been able to hnd out. Probably 'iBilliken,', who was his rodman. lcnows but he never told. Then Drex , who was running the transit, couldn't 11CSlS-li'1l1C.tC11lDtZlflO1'1 of a transit as he should have been doing, he was using a camera. As a result of this little porch episode Drex had to rerun the polygon next day, for some reason or other he was about IS degrees out when he came to cheek up. At night, not having ,X s N X 1 sitting on a certain shady porch. Farrell, Fallon and Bennett, being likewise tempted, also went over. Poor i'Chink was several hundred feet ahead waiting for NDrex to sight on his rod. But 'fDrex was otherwise inclined and instead of using 280 enough held work done to do computation, we again went sight seeing. Next day everything went all right and from then on the work progressed quite rapidly. Of course at times, there were draw- backs, as for instance, one day the Squaw , while acting as stadia man, fell desperately in love with a thirteen-year old child and preferred to amuse her by doing stunts on a bicycle rather than hold up a stadia board. Then too, there was always the Merry VVidow to consider. She had a strange power over certain of our Section, especially Billiken and our Section Grouch. Every night, instead of computing, we all went out and at least some of the crowd were up at the 'fMerry X'VlClONV,SU. Even 'tRiggles'i and A Squaw couldn't resist her charms and went up on several occasions. Thus quickly passed a week and a half and we expected to Hnish 'Wednesday night, but of course something had to happen. In the afternoon, instead of working, we had.a picnic up in the fields, and this ended all prospects of ,finishing that night. 'tPinkey':, our Captain, certainly did shine here. for in the feed line he sure is a star of the first magnitude. ,But it might be said in passing that none of the rest of us were far behind in showing our feeding propensities. Next day we tinished, and after much copying of notes and computation of L's and M's, we managed to catch the last train for dear old Troy. Section Eight Capt. Carrington, Carroll, Church, Dong, Sproat, alias Nell Brinkley , Rumpf and Wood. When this bunch hit Bennington on that memorable Monday in ,Tune the townspeople began to sit up and take notice, while the girls made a grand rush upon Carroll, Rumpf and Sproat, but with the aid of a few of the fellows, the rest of us managed to withstand the attack and rescued the pretty boys. We were very fortunate in securing rooms in the same house with the Profs., so we were not bothered in the evenings when some polygon did not act as it should. 281 Our first day was spent in looking over our survey, that is, all except Rumpf, who looked over the pretty girls on Main Street on the pretext of adjusting the level. Our transit should long ago have been consigned to the scrap-heap, but with the aid of a hack saw, screw driver, monkey wrench and a Prof., we finally succeeded in getting it into some kind of shape. Our lirst real work occurred at one A. M. Tuesday morning, when we awoke Dong and Rumpf and went out to watch the Profs. shoot Polaris, our good landlady was so disturbed on our getting up at that hour that every night thereafter she locked the door at 10:30, and during the next seven nights of our stay we had to unlock them only seven times to let in Carroll and Church. Where they went we do not know, but we noticed that they always carried the stadia rods in their left hands. X Tuesday was spent in running our Traverse Line and Line of Levels to the scene of action, while our Captain staked out the polygons. On the following day Ruinpf took the gun and proceeded to shoot everything in sight. We had the surprise of our lives that afternoon when the polygon closed within the prescribed limit. Sproat was next in line and beyond his into a bees' nest, nothing happened that was interesting, except that we had to rerun the polygon. Considerable engineering was required in laying out polygon, but we Hnally succeeded in establishing each station on a side hill and by Dongds standing on the up-hill side he was able to See through the instrument. Right here we might speak of Dong's two great peculiarities: one, for ylosing his appetite. and the other, for losing himself. The iirst we overcame by giving him two hours for getting his dinner, and the second, by letting him carry a stadia rod with a red Hag tied to the top. Of Church and Carroll little can be said. Their polygons were run in good shape, but we donlt see how they did it on the amount of sleep they had. Concerning Carrington we can only say That he was Captain, and as such, delighted in being 'fpilly . In fact, when one line of levels checked out within ten feet, he became angry and threatened to have it, re-run, but we didn't. ' VVell, at last, like all good things, our survey came to an end and we left Bennington after ten days of hard work. I said we all left, but there were two exceptions, Church and Rumpf re- mained for a day or two. We do not know the reason, but there were two reasons, one for each, getting Dong's Section Nine A About ten oiclock one Monday A.

The day's work always started and ended on the hotel porch. Pa conducted the work very well, but somehow neither the family nor the Profs. could make the level level Cjokej, so it was discarded. X1Ve drew First prize when one morning we calledfor the hatchet, which had been left on a porch the night before, and found a gorgeous blue ribbon bow tied to the handle. I OLd Blue Ribbon , as it was immediately christened was then admitted as honorary member of the family . Our transit next tried to butt into our family circles by collecting, one noon hour while resting in the office of a collar factory, a little blue ribbon bow and a small American Hag.

We did that because we wanted to go and take it all over again UD.

Pop', thought it was too much exertion to pose for a second, and Al. and L'Benny agreed with him, for they could not spare the time. Scotty did not like the company he was in and 283 UVas was demoralized inside of two days. Vidal stood the test, but has no statement to make regarding the movements of the gang.

Section Eleven Section II started for Bennington with the following crew: Lamb, Capt.g Walsh and Strollo, Ladies' Meng Keeshan, Time- keeperg Southard, Chief Fudgerg Kohlhofer and Quinn, the Accurate Workers. Keeshan did not consider the hour's difference between Troy and Bennington time, so that his Ingersoll alarm failed to rouse Lamb and himself until after polaris had passed elongation. The mornings were spent in trying to get to eats before half- past seven. Only the weary realize the short time it is from I a. m. to 7 a. ni. Jack and Jim spent their evenings on the Beat or the bridge. On the former place they learned the bootblacking trade, on the latter they found these words instead of the maidens, We cannot meet you tonight, we think you are false. It is hard to get them to tell about these affairs until they get into an argumentg that's how we got wise. I Southard's fudging was wonderful. After closing six polys he deducted this law: If polygon closes, within mlm do not check work, or polygon will have to be re-run. Kohlhofer and Quinn's work in the field enabled us to finish Lamb learned never to trust any one's time. our work in about ten days, so that we arrived in Troy in time Quinn found now to make the polygon close' to Celebrflte the Mh' , . Keeshan was happiest under the bed clothes. Our trip may be best summed up by telling what each one dis- . . , Southard discovered his famous law. covered.

It was a peculiar combination of impossibilities. New theories, both as how to do and not to do, were abundant. Indeed, it seemed to be the prevailing idea that a gentleman never works, and they all were gentlemen. But no one can say that we did not have good men, that is if this standard is not placed abnormally high. One of our men, Carl Abbott, ranked hrst in the class, that is but the peculiar thing anything he used. Hi: always something hap- passed to him. alphabetically. He was a great smoker, of it was that no one ever saw him bury also had a tendency to visit churches and pened to the collection plate when it was an ornament. VVith was able to level over long distances accurately even though the cross-wires were 30 degrees off horizontally. He, with Mr. Spencer, went to lay out a polygon, A few hours after the Captain found them perched in a cherry tree, one point having been set. This point was known later as Spencer's point, being the one remarkable product of his work. Shad Badger was very useful as h's enticing theories and new methods, he D The Captain, who was by the way, Jack Brush, by his in- his cessant plain English, rather tended to corrupt the morals of associates, but it was all to keep the good work continuing. It had girl probably would have been more conducive to work, if he paid more attention to work and a little less to Flossie, the at the boarding house. Listen, for now we have a secret. Professor Ricketts asserts that the Institute raises the ideals of the fellows. He is right. Brush resided at the Y. M. C. A.

Spencer, the crack leveler, who gained his reputation working on the railroad: and naturally among a green bunch felt some- what elevated, and therefore, took his level and placed it upon a pile of sand just dumped there the day before. He remarked that we were simply jealous of his engineering propensitiesg but we would later perceive the true worth of his early training. Spencer was a very light sleeper. It never required more than an hour to arouse hi1n, and when he did regain his scattered senses, it was another problem to find his clothes. One 1norn-- ing, he found one of his socks on the side lawn. Harkl for these are the echoes of the Berkshire I-lills. Section Thirteen About 7:30 A. M. on Monday, ,Tune zo, 1910, Section I3 set sail by way of the B. Sz M. Railroad for the distant wastes of Granville, there to endeavor to uphold the reputation of its num- ber. At the Granville Station we deserted the train and sallied forth with the determination to find a boarding place before dinner time or l'bust?'. Everybody was clothed in a more O1 less ruddy coat of tan, gained with much pains from a week of exposure on the Hudson. Our landlady, however, didn't draw the color line. Well, after dinner, we all took a stroll down the road to find out if there were any trout in Indian River. Incidentally, Prof. Calkins pointed out the extent of our survey. All the sections assembled in front of the Munson House next morning at I 130, at which time Polaris became observed upon. One sleepy embryo C. E. made the suggestion that it be accomplished with a polariscope, but the majority voted not to accept this advice, his policies being too radical. Later in the morning our Section ran an azimuth line to connect our survey with the reference meridian. We discovered the sun to be somewhat out of its course, being about N 40 deg. WY at 4:00 P. M. It was decided, however, to run over, rather than compel Mr. Peary to find a new North. Our stay in the slate country lasted about ten days. During this time Smith guarded the Section Note Book and his repu- tation for popularity among the feminine portion of the popula- 285 tion, Walker soaked his anatomy in the brookg White promenaded the village streets, VVitbeck was always on the look-- out for a place to go lishingg Messer spent 5-8 of his time in going to and from meals, and Luebeck devoted all his energies to copying up notes. lt will be obvious to you , that we were for the most part very busy. To occupy spare moments we used to set up the transit and gather in a few shots. We also occa- sionally used the level. A leaf from the log of Section I3 brings to light the follow- ing: Thurs, June 23. This day was found a polygon to close at the first trial without any mistakes in computation, log work being checked by Pocahontas under supervision of Captain C,lohnl Smith. Messer became famous for his ability and willingness to l'check . One bright afternoon Prof. Calkins happened along and we all had our pictures taken together. He felt so kindly towards us then, that he offered to assist in adjusting polygons that evening. The silence which ensued upon this remark was so deep you could almost hear it, Mr. Calkins didn't know as it made much difference. That's a habit of his. Our last evening in Granville was devoted to making our respective farewells and our last half-day to copying notes at the rate of two pages per minute. Lue , having been obliged to work on one occasion during the whole day, had straightway taken to himself an illness and gone home ahead of time. Pocahontas , having found the scenery entrancing and the board good, decided to tarry a while and go home behind time. The rest of us left on time with deep regret and great rejoicing. Section Fourteen Section I4 was assigned to spend their time in Granville and helped to fill a car with other unfortunates bound in the same direction. Afrriving in Granville the Section located just around the corner and proceeded to see the town. W'ith Prof. Bryson's assistance we saw quite a corner of it together with some of the adjoining country, which we became quite familiar with dur- ing our stay. Despite the fitting ceremonies of the first night, and hour at which the observation on Polaris took place, Capt. 'Wiedeman got his party into the neld at an early hour the next morning and started the work off with a rush which bade well to our finishing the survey in a hurry. But there was quite a bit of local attraction to contend with. One member of the party was proverbially missing when it came to closing a polygon, but would drift in about bed-time to make his peace with the bunch by means of an impromptu buffet-lunch, which he smuggled onto the premises. For be it known the man of the house was one of those horny-handed sons of toil who wasn't old enough to smoke, and Would'nt have cider in the house for fear it might turn hard over night. f 287 The Captain's trials were mitigated to a certain extent by some of the party. One lad appeared to be surprisingly familiar with the town, much to the astonishment of the rest of the party, till a three-year old urchin addressed him with Hello, papa. l-le's a nice fellow, too. Another, was strong on locating trees, shade trees. That and keeping notes were his strong points. The only trouble with the note-keeper's job, was the custody of the lunch basket. The most serious accident which befell ,the party was the loss of the plumb-bob string. Although the entire party hunted for it for over an hour in a strawberry patch it couldn't be found. One afternoon we held a cross-lots exchange of compliments with a resurrected corpse who acted as care-taker of the ceme- tery, and disliked the disrespectful manner in which we invaded the sacred precincts of the dead. But our most enjoyable gab- fest was with a citizen, who, after living in New York, deigned to reside in Granville and sell the hay from her front-yard to whomsoever would pay for the privilege of cutting it. This most estimable personage resented our presence in that section of the country and avowed her intention of taking out a permanent injunction against the Institute to keep its members from trespassing on her land. Be it here noted that the Profs. didn't happen to be around at either of our two encounters with these most estimable citizens, neither did they go to pay their respects. But there are people in Granville who at least most of our Section will remember most pleasantly. The names of this illustrious Section are appended, together with their official titles: H. F. VViedeman, Captain. R. O. Wheeler, '4Chief Fixer Up. T. H. Kelley, Buffet Luncheon Dispenser. G. L. DeRhodes, Shade Tree Expert. C. H. Crockett, Main Speelerf' W. H. Colcord. Papa . Section Fifteen . Everybody in our party was an experienced man, undoubtedly. We came to Granville secure in the knowledge that we would be finished in three days at the most. In fact, it was absolutely necessary for us to linish in that time. Golden had been pre- vailed upon to accept the presidency of the New York Central. Mantica and Livingston had consented to help out the State of New York as consulting engineers, while Ed. Doremus had condescendecl to become adviser to the Dupont Powder Works. We were overcome, however, by the many beauties of Gran- ville, scenic beauties, of course, and we stayed longer than three days. We were lucky to get away at all. 283 VVe were an awful gang of rutfians, taken all in all. Ed. Golden, The Precious Kid , was our Captain. May the saints preserve him for better work. We brought a doctor along in the person of Al. Mantica. He specialized in polygons. Bill Henry, after whom the unit of inductance was named, was the original heart-breaker. Violet, Pansy, Lillie and various other Howers of Granville fell victim to his prowess and when time came for leave-taking we had hard Work tearing him away. He would gladly have stayed all summer. Mantica was not far be- hind Henry in winning the hearts of the weaker sex. He was an adept at searching out musical prodigies. Gordon Glenn, the best ever, with Ed. Doremus and Ben Livingston constituted the laboring class. They tried to do as they were told, but very seldom succeeded. The real hit of the town was made by Liv- ingston, who immediately made the acquaintance of the best looking girls in town. His greatest pleasure was to bring them to dinner and fail to recognize any of the fellows. CThe fore- going statement was inserted by Golden. It is therefore scarcely crediblel. In giving the personnel of the party we must not forget George Hitt. R. P. I., 1922. He was our mascot and gen- eral utility man. We had plenty of fun and excitement while in Granville. The days were filled with work but the nights: Oh! the Arabian Nights had nothing on Granville nights. Will we ever forget that night, when we were all up in Goldenls room on the top Hoor of the Munson House. About two o'clock in the morning we started to celebrate by throwing giant crackers out of the window, Did we wake the big, burly proprietor? Did he come upstairs in shocking negligee? Did he call us things? Did he? Modern prudery forbids the repetition of his eloquent invective. We can recall many pleasant memories of Granville. Here's hoping that Granville can reciprocate. I Section Sixteen M. P. Doran, C. E. Bretz, R. V. Ncllis, J. Blaum, C. Feine, Van Keuren, E. De La l-laye. This is the fiock of embryo engineers that landed at Granville one sunny day and began to seek rooms for a couple of weeks. Dingbatl' CDoranD, located himself a few miles out in the country after having shadowed a pretty girl up that wayg 'Rustyu CNellisD, Van CVan Keurenj, Bunk QBretzD, and 'fCapt. Tim CDe La Hayeb, a place near the hash-houseg while Sister tFeineJ and Blaunief' tBlaumj, located near the girls' high school. The first day the bunch walked over several hills of the sur- vey alloted them by Prof. Calkins and spent the rest of the time finding out how many girls knew Pop Williams of R, P. I. fame. When it came time to sight on Polaris Sister for the polariscope, but Bunk', told him we were the level. YVork started with a rush and the first re-run because Capt Tim took a sight on a pair was looking going to use polygon was of blue eyes and forgot to turn off. After that the polygons went off O. K. except when f'Dingbat mistook a telegraph pole for the stadia rod. Some difficulty was encountered by the way streets run in Granville but Rusty and Blaumie always managed to locate stations in front of some pretty girls' residence, A farmer wanted to know the name of the railroad we were Surveying for. Van told him it was for a tunnel from Boston to San Francisco with Granville as a main station. Several other .farmers wanted their lands surveyed, so f'Cap'n Timf' took orders' and looked wise. The First few evenings were spent in having young ladies as guidesto show us the intricate system of streets. Afterwards We heard remarks that led us to believe several Granville fellows had lost their steady. ' I U 259 All of us had made VV. C. T. U. pledges and kept them faith- fully until Bunk asked Blaumie if a polygon closed. Blaumie said, Hell, no! And 1 can't fudge it. So we gave up and went uptown to the moving pictures to drown our sor- rows. That night Cap'n won the name of pool expertw, because jet, au - ., 1'z.'+-g.::2F1 ': 7'1G--' 3.54, ,Ffa ' ' 5 7 54993 '-sf qi? . f.,e:?P7ZWs15ff2t2rf:z 1,344 f-5: f -2:12e'fa fhggg. . -ff .1-'fyfiesta'2.fvf'2e1.s-rf:w-221:-111-.ffffff dfwfyfsazfiistmf-'f 1 ms,rva.-Y '. -. ,L -W..

In the field Rusty set up the transit for Bunk and had to lift him up so he could sight through it. Bunk got even by closing the eyepiece on Rusty's set up and Rusty thought it was too dark to work. Van was a marvel at quick set up until discovered pushing the stake under the bob. Sister used to blush everytime his hand touched the legs. Rusty's high set-up caused most of our angles to be over six degrees. VVhen it came time to go home for the glorious Fourth, work was rushed into the small hours and then we sallied forth to sing UD sweet songs of melody to let the people know we were alive and had good lungs. 'We left Granville with a vote of thanks and do not regret the weeks we s.pent there. Section Seventeen On Sunday, ,Tune the 19th, the City of Granville turned out to meet a celebrity. They were not disappointed, as it blew in -on schedule. This was no other than our old stand-by, Roy O. Eichleayu, who immediately informed the mob that his name was pronounced with a hard C and proceeded to make a thorough investigation of every house in town to find one worthy of sheltering Section I7 for two weeks. He finally decided on the Central House as our hang out , and when the crew arrived we were ushered to our rooms by our 'lKing . All went smoothly till dinner, when there was a desperate rebellion and the King was deposed. He was finally consoled, however, and after receiving our instructions we started the serious business of staying up till time to observe polaris. The former 'fKing tried to forget his sorrows by Hguring out in just what particular part of the sky polaris could be found by a man standing on his head and looking cross-eyed, which calculations, however, did not exactly agree with others, which were made for one standing in a normal position. 290 After polaris had been sufficiently t'produced to us, which was about 1:30 A. M., we got a better look at the town and decided that Longacre Square, which the Central House faces, was not suhciciently ornamental, for a place .of its im- portance. Vtfe thought that the iron Arrawannah in front of the local cigar store would look much better on the fountain in the middle of the square and proceeded to place her there with I-4 ,V . Q. 5 . the aid of many bricks and much slopping of water. The result is best expressed in the words of one of the citizens, who on seeing the brave girl in the morning, said that, 'iShe did her dumdest to look like Liberty enlightening the world. The next day the roll was called at 6:30 UD, as follows: Diven, Capt. and Steeple Jackn: Bullard, Chief Fudger and Joke Artist : Eichleay, Head Fusser and Souse g Engell, ! General Rough 'Houser and Hunter for Shady Spots g Mc- Naughton, Chief Scout and Levelman g Reimherr, Heavy Wfeight, VVater t?l Boy and lee Cream Fiend . After the roll call the party started work t?l. The ground was gone com- pletely over and impossible polygons laid out hy four of the gang, while Eichleay and Reimherr leveled about two blocks and checked back. That is, they checked within about hfteen feet. This was about the extent of our labors for the day, and Z'- x .l' af-X ... .gn Y' Fl ring-.A My L mT NSl2YXVlili X 'xi Ni f One of Section Seventeen coming home from Granville, CAs pictured on football fieldl at night 'fMac. , with the assistance of Reimherr, proceeded to earn his name 'of l'Scout . Ile never lost his reputation in that line since, as he even went to the extreme of using the transit to spy out the class on the porch of the hotel across the street at times. The rest of us roosted on the piazza of our hotel and charmed the citizens with the beautiful sing- ing UD of our thereafter famous quartette. This singing often attracted many favorable CU comments, to say nothing of bricks. It was the only opposition to the local Salvation Army. 291 The following days we did more work, which brought to light the astonishing powers of some of our members. Especially that of lke'l, who could read angles to the meerest second and could hold a stadia board nearly vertical and kill twelve pound lish with it at the same time. He also proved to be our botany expert and entomologist, that is bug catcher. Mac.i' also did expert work with the level, adorned onlv in a sweet smile and pair of shoes. Bobby got his reputation by always answering, NVhere you goin'l', in a peculiar tone of voice, when asked for any information whatever. He also got to be known by the town people as one who always asked them what they were doing. Thus, our hard work C?j proceeded for two Weeks. There were many incidents hardly worthy of mention, such as the time when lke became so interested in the work that he forgot to come home with the rest of us one night after it got too dark to see through the gun, Reimherr was a very valu- able member, as he could always be depended upon to stay where left when given the back flag. The trouble was he was in- clined to stay too long. Outside of working hours there were various accidents. Hlken was our society mann and represented the bunch at a very sc-lect dance given by the high school. He very nearly went to this affair in his kakie surveyingl' pants, but we tinally per- suaded him not to disgrace us by doing so and helped him fish his other pants from amongst the hed clothes. He also credit- ably earned his name of Sousel' by becoming so fond of lemon sours' that on one occasion he talked two young ladies nearly deaf and went to bed with his shoes on for the pure love of them. Some say that he did this on one lemon souru, but of course to uphold the honor of the Section we deny this absurd- ity. Bobby and Reimherr were our yVestons'f, which they proved by strolling to Lake St. Catherine and back one evening. The Captain earned his title of Steeple jack by scaling the blank wall of a two-story building in order to climb through a window and take breakfast with some young ladies, whom we hope enjoyed his unexpected company. Anyway he says they gave him a fine feed and that's all that is necessary, VVe were all very sorry CU to leave Granville at the end of our allotted two weeks, and two of our members proved how much they loved work by walking part of the way home, 40' Q 'X 4,1 U Hydrographical Survey .lE Junior I-lydrographical Survey took place as usual during Commencement week and the part of the Hud- son River at the Iron Works, Troy, was the victim. 5 judging from the anxiousness displayed by the new juniors, who had just passed the elimination process necessary to become upper-classmen, it was thought not im- completed in record time. Everyone reported at the June 13th, in time to take probable, that the survey would be Alas! -but ambition is often nckle. Union Station on Monday morning, the 9:30 local. The Iron XfVorks having been reached, the sec- tions were divided into two parties, one to occupy the west shore and the other to defend the east shore. The reason why the east shore had to be defended was, that the soda-fountains and other lc-cal attractions were situated on that side of the river. Our venerable class President, Eddie , had chartered a few gorgeous yachts of two man power for general usage and sailing along the river banks immediately became the rage. The only trouble which arose in relation to the pleasure seekers, was that the maximum capacity of these crafts was seven, consequently when Creighton tried to put an extra supply of bottled liquids on board, he almost sank the ship. His inventive mind came to the rescue, however, and he immediately rigged an attachment, consisting of a bag trailing at the stern, this bag containing the priceless treasure, helped to float the ship ftowards bottoml and in the meantime accomplished another most welcome purpose, that is, it kept it cool Qthe river, we mean, of coursej. The air at the Iron 'Works is always hazy, due to the immense amount of smoke, it became almost blue once triangulation work was started. It takes a pretty husky voice to yell across the river at this point and be distinctly understood, but it surely proved surprising when it was found, that in a case of necessity 1 almost everyone owned one, besides being proficient in the use of plain English. Anyone who has ever taken the hydrographi- cal survey knows, that plain English is the only one, which can be used to advantage.

The time was pleasantly passed in Watching the boats go by and scrutinizing the upper decks by means of the telescopes for any of our friends. Some of our friends did come down once in a while and made us offerings of nice soft stuff. These offer- ings would have been joyfully received, but their method of delivery was unusual. K'Nlolly'l Stark almost fell in the river, in attempting to dodge one ot these. The triangulation work was completed on VVednesday night, so the first thing Thursday morning a crew was detailedcto tal-ze soundings. Lockyl' was assigned the pole for the simple reason that the Profs. knew that in case a spot was struck which was deeper than the length of the pole, he simply had to hang on the end of the boat by his toes and thereby use his body as an extension to the pole, this helped matters by about seven feet. It rained incessantly while soundings were taken, and this unlucky crew received their annual bath in the presence of their class- mates, who were under shelter on shore. Church was time- keeper and his only fear was, that l..oeky would tip the boat while standing in the bow and cause him to fall in the river and get Wet. This little sojourn proved to be very instructive and was not spent wholly in pleasure by any means, in fact some of the fel- lows have not completed the survey as yet, their maps having proven to be a misrepresentation of the l-ludson's noble course at this place and they. therefore will have to make another con- cise study of its habits. . f 1-v -N TEAC ra -- 294 Shop Work oclock in the morning They were about to begin the 5-,,,.f,, four weeks sentence at hard C?J labor wlnch is given 'r 5E 'l' to all men taking the M. E. and E. E. courses at the Institute. Sleep was still in the eyes of the majoritv showing that they were not accustomed to early rising. but it was necessary to be on time for one day at least. First, was a short lecture by Professor Greene and then we bade farewell to Eve dollars, which was to cover loss and break- age of material. VVe then received the keys to our lockers and were told to don our overalls. CYes, it looked like workl. After this difficult performance we were told what we were to do and we went to work. Some into the forge rooms, some into the pattern shop and the rest into the Machine Shop. All went well until we went into the locker room at noon to wash up. The Juniors CCase, 'Weaver and Ralli es- peciallyj tried to teach the Sophomores, what they had been taught the year before. The room being temporarily turned into a shower bath. After the second day out we were forbidden to use water as a weapon of war as it leaked through the Floor and did considerable damage downstairs However, quite often a bucket of water would be overturned, especially if some one was N JUNE 15th, about hfty men met in the shop at eight Y i 9 , ' ' . ' 295 directly below it. Greek Ralli was appointed head water boy and we must say he executed his duties well, considering the fact that he had to collect ten cents weekly from everybody present, which went for drinking water CU and ice. The chief working hour recreatioiis were in visiting the ':Port,', eating watermelons in the shade of the old maple tree and dis- cussing where shaft keys could be made the cheapest. Then there were those who preferred to put oil and iron filings down each others' backs, or a piece of ice in soineone's hip pocket. In the machine shop the cry of Skirt comingn would send every- one to the Eighth Street windows to see one or more of Troy's fairer sex. Between time some of the fellows did a little work to show the Profs they knew how and for their labors each of them was presented with a Cpj. The rest, who did no work at all, received even more, namely a Cp.c.J. Although we had a lot of fun, everyone was glad when the fourteenth of July came and we knocked off work and shook the dust of Troy from our heels. The second section of shop work went into session on August hfteenth and hnished Sepetmber fifteenth, going through the exact aforesaid curriculum.

HE Freshmen and Sophomores enjoyed their first com- ' X bined meeting on Saturday afternoon, September I7'tl'l. They Hrst agreed upon an inter-class baseball game, on 3'f r'5'5 the Troy State League grounds on Centre Island. This was won by the Sophs. by a score of 4 to o. After the game, the annual cane-rush was the next diversion of the day. The new Student Council rules regulating this rush, were put into effect for the first time and proved to be a decided success. and both classes managed to contribute their remaining portions before the end of the rush. After the Final signal, declaring the rush ended, the hands on the cane were counted and it was found that the Sophs. had won this event by the score of II to Io. The street rush occurred in the evening, the rules regarding this rush materially changed the aspect of the affair and if anything, made it tamer than usual. The method of determining the num- Heretofore, the Sophs. never attempted to win the cane-rush, for the victors had to pay for the band engaged for the evening celebration. Both classes having divested themselves of super- flous clothing, which seemed to be QQQ-IOOO of their habilee, the lubricant was distributed and generously applied. The rush once started, was hard-fought and although the Freshmen were con- siderably outnumbered, put up a determined effort to come off winners. Murph was around to gather the remaining clothing ber of Freshmen reaching the top of the hill was an improve- ment, but the rules might be revised somewhat in order to allow 298 Preparing for '13-'14 Cane Rush. ,,.,, the scrap to be carried on with the customary vim. This rush was also won by the Sophs., it being found that nine Freshmen had reached the top of the hill out of a necessary twelve. Outside of a few rare clashes on Friday evenings, in which This unusual hour of posting almost proved to be the Sophsfs undoing. Scouting parties were sent out in all directions and the'Freshmen's tlag' was Iinally located about 6 P. M. on the old Xvatervliet Reservoir. The Sophs. spent the night in the con- X . . 1 - 1914 Ready for Cane Rush. small parties out of each class managed to enjoy a seance at the struction of a raft and making' the best of spending a chilly night expense of the other, nothing occurred to disturb the peace abid- ' out-of doors. At dawn they renewed their efforts and completed ing until Friday, October 14th, when the notice declaring the a substantial raft, an extension ladder was mounted upon this flag-rush on, was posted on one of the bulletin boards at I P. M. and the craft manned by a crew of eight men, set sail for the 299 X attack. Having reached the tower, the Sophs. attempted to pull the flag down by the use of pike poles, the Freshmen were ready E 1913 Flag Rush. for them and by clever work managed to entangle the Sophs'. poles and pulling them away from them. These tactics were 300 followed until about noon, the Sophs. being repulsed at each attack. 'With but one hour of the allotted time remaining, the Sophs. began to be worried and their consequent recklessness decided the rush in their favor at 12:30 olclock. One of their number having climbed up to the top of the extension ladder, it was let fall against the tower, the Soph. quickly running up the remaining rungs, grabbed the flag with which he fell into the reservoir, thus ending a very exciting rush. The sleigh-rush has failed to materialize up to this time and due to the lack of snow will undoubtedly be postponed until next year. This is the first time in a number of years that the Freshmen have not had a sleigh-rush, with the usual class feed Great trouble was experienced by their class officers in securing sleighs, after this difficulty had been overcome, they found it was impos- sible to secure entertainment at any hotel within a reasonable distance from Troy. No explanation is necessary regarding this part of the necessary arrangements. Both sides are to blame. the inn-keepers tax Institute men exorbitant prices, therefore, lnstitute men believe they should get the value of their money in some way or other, consequently, from this method of reason- ing a stringency of desirable place for a sleigh-rush has arisen. Vtfe trust next yearls entering class will take up this matter at an earlier date and, if necessary, resort to strategy in order to secure a place in which to hold their banquet. This is one of the few remaining Institute customs and it is to be regretted that the present Freshman class found it impossible to uphold it. N, . , , Sin' 1914 Flag Rush, Old Watervliet Reservoir.

The first one, High O'er 5'-'i i i5- Hudsoifs Noble River , was arranged by S. Grahame Nobbes of the Emma 'Willard Conservatory, who is the Director of the Institute Glee Club. It was first rendered at the Glee Club concert l..st February and it was a decided success. Loyal to Rensselaer was contributed by Prof. XV. Clark, lofi. This one has not been tried as yet a very appropriate song and when after an attempt is to be made to range is within reach of everyone his voice, consequently one great by the student body, but it is the songs are practiced here- have everyone learn it. The who has the slightest use of defect which has been note- worthy of most other Institute songs, has been eliminated. 'Can You Spell Rensselaer? is a very catchy song, composed by E. Murray Frost, 'IL It seems to be gaining general favor among the students and has been sung frequently at banquets and student gatherings. 304 It is a deplorable fact that we are sadly in need of a school song, which can be sung with equal feeling by both Alumni and students. At the present time the Alma Mater is the most generally sung. As an Alumni song, it is all right, but when rendered by under-graduates its meaning is lost. The remain- ing songs are simply parodies and although the words have been chosen to depict Rensselaer conditions, still these songs are not strictly Institute songs. NVe lack an inspiring Rensselaer song, this has been shown time after time at Alumni reunions, when the men in charge have been at a loss to decide upon a song known by all. If they had learned a song when they were students here, which was as dear to them as their Alma Mater, there is no doubt that it would be a permanent memory. LOval to Rensselaer and Can You Spell Rensselaer? have been arranged to special music and are consequently along the lines, in which we hope to linally acquire a song, which will be as dear to us as some of the well known songs of other institu- tions, are to their alumni and under-graduates. 141-jill GJLJ. 1Q,4!.JQLw,-V all ,VW MMA! 6,,,,4g.fQ,A..,a,Zf, f x f awe .F-,iffgfi -Sf X21 1 X 3 f',..

WHO ON PWATH. ,DS-ITER CALL Qunjs Some of 1912 in Verse There once was a man from Fort Plain, XVho played ball with his might and his main, VVhen asked, XVhy so tall? Replied, 'Tm not tall, at all . You just ought to see my girl, Maymef' There once was a chapby, named Stone, VVholcl study and grind and 'most bone, 'Till one fair day in May, A sweet girl did say, 2011, Clifford, I do like Johnstone. Another bright laddie, named Cannon, But not from the Shamrock or Shannon, Eating dinner one day, To a chum he did say, Oh, who is the sweet girl in salmon F In the cold of the North lives Earl May, And 'tis noticed that day after 'day He wanders right home, Clt may be to boneb, But about it he has nothing to say. , 1- 333 In the falls of the valley lives Sproat, And a frog once jumped right clown his throat, I-le coughed and he swore, And vowed evermore To call a beam worse than a moat. A tall, lanky lunger, named Kuys, 'Twas one of the California, guys. Said, This thing is all rot, 'Tis worse than a blot. And the bright esentcheon of Rensselaer belies. A handsome and benevolent man, Garvin, XVho's Freshman fame was won by steak carving Always plasters his hair, And makes the girls stare, And wish that one of them could win him. There once lived a sinner, Sir Eichleay, lrVho thought hard all clay and all nightly, NVhat questions to ask, X'Vhieh he thought was his task, 'Till Prof. choked him off once quite nicely. Another old dope was named Gray, Who often appeared somewhat fey, Was it clue to overstudy, Or was his brain muddy, That question will be answered some day, An Albany chappy, named Scott, Thought he was, what he surely was not, Some things he did know, But these did not show, That all he did know was a lot. A quaint little boy, name of Farrell, Had a head as big as a barrel, What a iob it must be. And that you can see, To put on just evenly, his hair-oil. A very bright boy, G. S. 'vVood, Knows more than one little man should, Oh! what is the use, Of being a goose, He can't, but would if he could. I'll sing of rt sinner, named lfVard, Who is said to have often preferred, To go out at night, And get gloriously tight, Than to write to his sweet, little Maud. There once was a man here. named Messer, Who hated to be Called a professor, WVhen so dubbed one day, He wlas reported to say, Your pardon, but how did you guess, sir? In Troy there once was a man name of Moore, And he once did get most awful sore, A Prof. gave him None, When he should have had One , And he is still croaking, Never moref, A queer little chap from the East, With no sign of a que, not the least, Tried his Mechanics to do, But sad for poor Wu, The studies were hard and he 'most ceased. There once was a son, named Carrington, XfVho never was known to get on a bun, But he once got a card, lfVhich struck him so hard, That even Doc. Robb laughed in fun. Oh, Bluey, do you know of one, Lyall? Wfho of studies sure knows quite a pile, That is when in quizz, But its nobody's bizz, If your cribs are not exactly in style. Ach, let us forget not our Schneider, Who to answer the questions sure tries to, But he always balls up, Wfith a gasp and a gulp, Every answer with an Ach, and I donlt know, sir. A dark, little Shrimp of a Heath, Did giggle and laugh beyond belief, At a concert one day, And ,tis sure safe to say, He showed every one of his teeth. One of our Smiths we call Dut , The one with the face that won't shut, He smiles and he grins, And trouble begins, For his laugh is contagious, dried and cut. A basketball fiend is young Stark, To good advice he won't hark, He blacks up both eyes, Gets a bump of some size, And then laughs and calls it a lark. A runner of fame is Bill Shearer, But his answers in quizz might be clearer, He likes well to run And calls it just fun, But the Profs. should with him be severer. Our Fenton started in with some hope. That the 'Tute was a sort of a joke. But now all his work comes out with a jerk, Andfto study he oft' needs a poke. A chap by the name of Trevino, From the wilds of the far Mexico, Asks the which'l and the 'lwhy , The where and the how , 'Till you wonder if anything at all he does know. From a town down the River came Slianlfey, A cross 'tween a Jew and a Yankee, He plugs like a steer, And never tastes beer, But often he acts like a monkey. 335 A plugging young plugger is 'lGreek, He's trying a key for to seek, But let him beware, For they don't always play fairy They often give a kev to a freak. Our desperate young Desmond is Eaton, At the game he has never been beaten. His face is a prize, Not so much for its size, But for the smile that he smiles when he's eating Gur Lockwood is six feet and a half, NVith a form like a knock-kneed giraffe, VVhat is not pure, old bluff, Is very good stuff, But most of him is made up of calf. There's a Graue in the class of. this year, VVho inhabits this terrestial sphere, just to tell what he knows, i 'Which easily shows, That there's no reason at all for him here. A bronzed and brown youngster was Wliite, VVho got lost in Granville one night, He said 'twas the girl, . X!Vl1O set his head in a whirl, But 'tis feared he was gloriously tight. A very good classman is Ed. Dion, As Junior, and Sophomore and Freshman, He never is absent, From any event, A man one can always depend on. . A versatile youth is young Creighton, That no end of hard work can 'er frighten, He runs and he talks. But will never once balk, If he hears anywhere's, there's a light on. Our handsome and debonair Weaver, Is known as one great gay deceiver, If all the girls knew, He cared for so few, Some one girl would ne'er let him leave he A very gay boy is our Watty, Our handsomest man? sure 'tis he, Somewhere up in Cambridge, A fair maiden lives, Wlwo thinks that he loves her quite dearly. A big and a boyish man Reimherr, VVho of dinner needs never a reminder, He can eat and can sleep, And can sleep very deep, Does he look hungry? lNell, yes he does, Our wonderful jumper, 'lPop '.Villiams, Also likes to lead at cotillions, He is tall and heis thin, But by no means a has been , Ja I' And has girls he can count by the millions. A short and a quaint, old Macdonald Who in Astronomy has never been foiled, Came up from New Rochelle, The whole country to tell, That Mars is just like this old world. kinder. 336 The dear, little birdies can Carroll, 'Without any fear sure at all, But let Carroll sing, Then CAIN will begin, And he will go home in a barrel. A Southern young planter, named Peek, Came to Rensselaer some knowledge to seek, But when he got here, He drank nothing but beer, In spite of the fact he's a D E K. A Texas bronco buster was Small, And of everything he sure knew it all, So when Troy saw him nrst, The Town almost burst. Because for him it was too very small. Another sweet ladclie is 'Witbeck A typical son of the Teck , He is quaint and he's dear. But profane we much fear, For he once said quite loud, WVhere the Heck? A loud and a noisy young Snyder, Saw a girl and sat down beside her, On the up train one day, But no word did she say, And he thinks that she might have been kinder A Freshmen Tale of 1912 PROLOGUE One ought to have some knowledge if were going to pay our way, And it's fun to go to college-that is what the teachers say, But I want to just inform you that it's all a weary lie- Iust inquire of some Freshman in my class at R. P. T. Il, a kid, to college went, Eyes on paths of knowledge bent, 'When the time to part had come, I was almost stricken dumh, Something queer got in my squeak, Eyes felt watery and weak. Mother sighed and kissed her song Father handed out the mon g Then the train bore me away From the fields of fragrant hay, From the helds of rustling corn, From the farm where l was horn, Wfhere at fall, l'd threshed the pumpkins xvVith the other country humpkins. As I sped along the way Something in me seemed to say,- Now, you've gone away to school You're far above the common fool, ln fact, vou are the smartest guy That ever struck old R. P. If: Bag in hand, and loaded down, I left the train at Trojan town, And looked around with great alarm, For T was far from the dear old farm. The people pushed me to and fro, 337 l didn't know which way to go There was an awful noise and din, And some would look at me and grin. A policeman on a corner stood, His form was big, his face looked good, I told him I had lost my head. He smiled good naturedly, and said, li guess you've never been to town, You look as though you'd just come down lf you're a 'Frosh' hound for the 'Tech', 1 bet vou get it in the neck, That's your place up on the hill, Before you leave, you'll get your lill. If you get gay and climh those stairs, You'll soon he laid up for repairsg You take this street and keep on straight, And you'll arrive at the front gate. One little room I found tc rent, Where every night in work I spent. Then, when the clock was striking two, 'With aching head, and feelings blue, Into my little bed I'd crawl, Think of home, and begin to bawl. Chemistry and algebra were too deep, And French besides was awful steep. I wrote my dad I was going crazy, I-le wired back, UYou,re too blamed lazyf' But on this scene I'll draw the curtain, It wasn't funny nor gay, that's certain. As away from home I rolled, My pockets all were lined with gold, And when I hrst in Troy had landed, I thought I never would be stranded, But I had yet this truth to learn That Troy booksellers their living earn 338 From goods the greenhorn Froshies buy, And on this income they rely, So they charged us double for everything, And from us all our gold did wring, And the Fresh would say, as out of the door He came, from buying a little more, Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, 'XVe're stung again ', Gne reason I had come to Troy Was because the catalogue said with joy, That all their hazing had been stopped, So .l had no fear as in I dropped. But Friday evening on my way To join a band of classmates gay, Somebody grabbed me around the waist, And started off as in great haste. My head was in a dizzy whirl, But l gasped out, l'n1 not a girl, You're wasting your breath along with me, I don't just like this hugging bee. But when we reached Bemau Park, I wasn't so znuch in the dark, For there were Froshies by the score, And still they kept on bringing more, Until their little show begun XVith the Sophs to regulate the fun. Upon our knees in a row lined up, We barked at the moon like a little pup. And then we scrambled like an egg Until you couldnit tell arm from leg. Upon the ground. in a sandy place, They held a first-class swimming race, And boat races too, but for oars instead VV'e used two pencils made of lead, Across the road by means of the nose. Peanuts we pushed till a dust arose: And if we ,qrinned in all the while, They called, In the dirt, rub off that smilelv The Sophs were armed with straps of leather They used on us, no matter whether Vie did what they told us to or not. They always were 'KJohnny-on-the-spot . And when the morning was dawning clear, They sent us back to our rooms so dear. Tired, mad, and almost dead, Wfe Froshies hiked it off to bed. 339 Another thing l thought was queer was the little black caps, we had to wear, XVith a grass green button on the top, And when the Sophomores would call out, Stop! Right off our little black caps would come. Till the Sophomores said, Now hike it home. The button then in our mouth we placed And homeward we Froshiesl' fairly raced. These little extras in between 'ln the catalogue we had not seen. XVe found some things had been overlooked Vtfhen the faculty made out the book. 'Twas just a little oversight, The next will, doubtless, be all right. Sometime I'll learn by being taught That all the fools are not yet caughtg But the time seems rather far away, XVhen I'll be a Soph., so bold and gay, And to the Freshmen, who smell of hay, I'll speak in an arbitrary Way: !'Roll down your trousers and salute, You're only a Frosh up at the 'Tntef' CYou bet, if l'm ever a Soph., by gosh! I'll make it warm for some poor tFrosh' . j But now I'm going to peg away And do my level best each day, And if this year, I do not die, 1'll make my mark for R, P.

But 'twas a chilly day for Nor-Dell, XVhen the Prof, nut down his mark Asked another and then some more, Reflections Murph I said farewell to the books I loved And my eyes were iilled with tears I know that I'll wish I were back again In a few brief hurried years. Ah! many may climb the stony path, And knock at the Director's door, ' But the life I loved when my heart was young, Shall be my life no more. I said farewell to the merry band, XfVhose music hlled the dawn: To the glee club too, and the orchestra, And to all those of times long gone. The bright birds sing on the apple bough, And sing as they sang before, But the times I loved with the golden joys, Have come to be mine no more. I said farewell to the Mechanics' Text, That I threw in the gurgling brook, All loaded down with a smoothing iron, And a hundred weight of brick. You'll not come back, if I know myself, From that far off sunless shore, Then I journeyed on, but the darned old book, Is used as heretofore. 344 VVho always meets us on the approach, Upon our thoughts does always encroach, And continually shouts, Any clothes ? Murphy. Wfho always follows you to the door, Continually shouting Any moren, Keeping it up 'til you get sore? Murphy. Bring out a suit that's really swell, IVho makes the offer, that makes you yell, And feel like saying, Go to hell ? A'Sheeny . VVhy do you stand for so long -a- time, And chew the rag about an extra dime, Knowing all the while you'll not decline? Your broke.

Hers- The Professors CXVith apologies to Rudyard Kipling, The Ladies .j I've taken my fun where Iive found it, I've studied and I've Hunked in my time, I've had my pickens of professors, And four of the lot were prime. One was a bald-headed bachelor, One was a man from the VVest, One was the soul of politeness, And one was as big as a chest. I was a young one at Rensselaer, Shy as a girl to begin, But dear old Redney, he made me. And Redney was clever as sin. He were older than me, but my worst one, More like a brother he were, And he taught me tl1e way to crib and to bluff, But I learned darned little, though sure I did stuff. Then I was sent to the Lab, acting just as though I knew some, But got in wrong with the Doctor, through breaking glass bottles for fun. 342 Sober and dry and a sticker, brains in a bundle of hair, But I cribbed on the square, like a true Rensselaer, And I learned about professors up there. Then I was shifted to Carnegie, or I might have been making smells now, And took from a jolly old Southerner, the bestest I ever did know. I-le taught me the Integral folly, a kind of plus minus it were, But he knifed me one time, Icause I clean forgot prime , And I learned about professorls fair show. Then I went to the big shop, and took from a kid of sixteen, Boy from a City of Conn., the brightest I ever have seen. Sarcasm and conceit was his trouble, no telling what more it had been, But I just wouldn't Hght, 'cause he thought he was right, And I learned about 'Tute profs. from him. I'll take my degree, when I get it. but now I must pay for my fun, For the more you don't know of a subject, the less you get for your run, And the end of its plugging and drawing, thinking of the fours you'll not get, So be warned by my lot, which I know you will not, and,learn about professors from me. 4 1 1 J g 1 1 v The Poet-Scientist Speaks CAs.fassz'11afio11 of the Muses 'witli f7l'L'lllL'dflLLlfI.UIl and ttfz7f110zif lllf87IZtt1ll'i1Zg circu11zsz'n1icUs.j Some day I'll prove that the law of gravitation, VVith equal force, to souls has application.

Said old John Nugent, boy, now How do you do, VVhat sort of course, now, would you like to pursue? Percy said, If it's all the same I' will study the language that they call profane. Old John Nugent got an awful frightg He jumped right up and he started to light, But Percy showed John a one hundred dollar bill, And I tell you, boys, old John he sat quite still. i Percy saw all the Profs. in his timeg He saw them shine, every one, in his line. There's Edward R., shining like a Vtfelsbach, There's the old Prog Eater and his Salanioniac. VVhen Percy went into the Sophomore class, He said there's English which I cannot pass. h Said old John G. a'fore youire through, you will think f The main thing in this course is using black ink. Then Percy went into the Physical i'Lab, Wlieii Percy was in his Junior year, He said this is a course at which I must make a stab, He found that 'lMechanics was something to fear. He asked Prof. Hunter just what makes water flow? He asked Prof. Ricketts upon a force to decide. f'Ahem, said Hunter, that is 'obviously' so, That,s all right, said Palmer, my tig'ure's cock-eyed. 346 The Gargoil The gargoil often makes its perch On a cathedral or a church, VVhere, mid ecclesiastic style. He smiles an early Gothic smile. And while the parson, dignilied, Spouts at his weary flock inside, The gargoil, from his lofty seat, Spouts atithe people in the streetg And like the parson seems to say, To those beneath him, Let us spray' I like the gargoil best: he plays So cheerfully on rainy days, W'hile parsons tno one can clenyj Are awful dampers-when they're dry. 1 My Hash House I remember, I remember The house that boarded me, Like rain was all our coffee, The soup was like the sea. The pie brought leather to our minds, The hash-a mysteryg Variety's the spice of life, So pass the hash to me. Prayer O, mighty Power that rules this universe! Look down upon thy woe-begotten sons. Deliver us from IVlurdoch's jokes And WHCl1f6f,S awful verse From Linco1n's smile, and wise McGiffert's puns! 347 Pa! There is a man, and he does make Those students Hunk galore, And when he's hnished with them all, He makes them Hunk some more. Alas! to think they do not know That he is only Pa, That when he's home he's like a lamb And bossed about by Ma! Before and After I come upon thee, Calculus, Not knowing what you beg But beast or liend, at any loss, I mean to conquer thee! CTwo months afterj I've niet thee. at last, dear Calculus, I know Well what you be! You're the most disgusting dose I've ever got in me. Who ? From the hills of old Carnegie, VVe've come to spend the day, It's immejietly obvious Till midnight we shall stay. No spitting on the stairways, No sliding on the floor, Now you've come to Rob's my school, Don't do that any more. 1908. 1912 Freshmairs Diary while at R. P. I. Sept. 9. Left Millbrook, N.

Back to the simple life. 349 A Parable And it came to pass that there entered into the land of Troy a man noted for his judgment, and for the sweetness of his soul, and his voice was like the song of the birds. And it came to pass that this man caused himself to be loved by all the people of the landg and he caused himself to love all the people of the land, so that there was an harmonious peace and good feeling between him and his fellow-tribesmen. And his presence was always longed for by the tribe of Troy for it pervaded the air with an incense of supreme sweetness. And it came to pass that a plague cast itself upon the land and robbed the minds of the learned from them. And the people caused those afllieted with the disease to flee the land, save this one on whom they had compassion, and they let him remain. And it came to pass that a great misfortune was east upon the Trojans for the mind of this man l7CI1'fZ-Cllfjl returned and the people of the tribe of Troy wept with joy CPD. And it came to pass that as the days went by the sweetness of his voice was turned to harshness, like the voice of the bear, and when he spake his voice rolled as peak of thunder and all that heard him became afraid. And all that had loved him, feared him and his presence was not sought for by them, and they still had compassion on him for they were aware that he knew not his mind. And it came to pass that by some way known only to himself, he wandered into the realm of R. P. T. But they knew of his trouble and had compassion on him and let him remain. And it came to pass that one of the learned men of the school left his seat as instructor in the Nation's language, And it came to pass that by some way known only to himself, :'Brother wandered into the former instructoris place. And they knew of his trouble and had' compassion on him so that they let him re- mam. But the youths of the tribe of Troy, who attended the house of learning where he taught, soon cried out for their former master, for this man, Brother , burdened them severely, yea, even made .NX .

Among them were the brightest of the land, but all were caused by him to suffer alike, 350 Then did a blessing fall upon the people of Troy for the good and great prophet Vkfachter was sent. And he helped these youths and made lighter their burdens, for he said: 'tl am the good shepherd. I will restore the lost sheep to their fold and keep them from all danger. Yea, though ye walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ye need fear no evil, my book and my pencil, they will comfort thee. And there was much rejoicing at the school of learning by the scholars, for they beat loud upon the cymbals and sang loud songs of his praise and all verily believed that they were saved by the good prophet. And the good prophet taught only in R. P. I. as a land by itself and was next to King Brother in power, and was King Brothers heir. But the king liked not the good ways and teachings of our good prophet, being an evil king himself, so he wished very much to send him from the land. But he dared not send him out of the land for he feared the wrath of the people who loved the prophet with all their hearts. And it came to pass that Carl became aware of the king's dis- like of him. And being a good and noble man he did not wish to be a cause of bother to his king, and he left the land of his own will. And then was there great sorrow and grief amongst the youths of the school, for they had lost that which might have saved them. And a new heir to the throne was brought forth, but little notice was given him because of the great grief which was spread all over the land. Wfith the departure of the good and beloved prophet came to the minds of the youths the fact that, they had left one thing undone which hey ought to have done, although they had tried to do it. ,K 66:8 av AM' W3 Observations One Week Course in Mathematics It has been observed: C13 That Lockwood's legs are long enough to reach from his body to the ground-and that's going some.
