The above quotation thoroughly con- vinces us that its writer, Landor, was at one time a cadetg for which one of us cannot re- member that homesick feeling that seized us when we Hrst struck the Phil. Dept. after furlough ? But Atwood,s machines and P. Michie's unhiveable equations have a tendency to oblit- erate many furlough memories, at least such has been our experience, and we weathered the storm clouds of that dreaded 1000 formula tornado-hlechanics-without 'the loss bf a single man. Then in January of our second E class year we learned Why such sounds as Lucy Fletcher is capable of emitting are Within the limits of possibility, and why the light of Red Davies' head is second only to that of old Sol himself. Astronomy with its thousands of revelations was to us perhaps the most pleasant study of our four years, course. Only this science can bring to onels mind a 'realization of the inHnity of the universe and the littleness of man. Armed with a sextant and fortified with an Ephemeris, we sallied forth to confirm facts that we'd often been told, and none of us ever succeeded in estab- lishing that Galileo, the elder Herschel or Tycho Brahe erred in the lawsthey discovered andycnunciated. But as all the good things are saved until the last, even so did the Department save for us that delightful treatise on Practical Astronomy. This novel, written for cadets, formed a striking finale to the course. i V We feel it is our duty to express our sincerest appreciation to this Depart- ment for the numerous considerations shown us. From highest to lowest our relations Were most pleasant and cordialg their patience and forbearance were often a source of wonder to us and the hours spent in the section rooms' under their instruction were such as to cause many of us to feel as We had never felt before, under like conditions. By the entire Department We were treated with the most gentlemanly courtesy, and While remembering them long after our cadet days shall be finished, there will be few of us who will not entertain a wish that ou1' conduct be similar to the example they set for us. 33
