MANUEL ALVEREZ CALDERON, A. B Lima. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. — Wordsworth. U. A. CALDERON. Mr. Calderoii was born in Lima, Peru, October 5th, 1880. He attended the public .schools of Lima, and afterwards entered the Engineering College at that place, graduating with a degree of A. B. In the fall of 1900, wishing to pursue his studies further, and in research of a higher institution of learn- ing, he was directed to the Mar dand Agricultural College and entered the Sophomore Class of that institution where he remained for one year, at the expiration of which he took up his studies at Cornell University. But he found the climate, so far north, too cold for him, so he returned to us about the middle of the year and resumed his work with the Junior Class. He is a hard worker, giving but little time to anything else except his studies, often making six days in the week, and he will undoubtedly make his mark ill the world. Mr. Calderon is an advocate of peace and not of war, so he has never taken up military science. 21

He is ahso a politician, and although greatly out- numbered yet his voice is always heard in debate, and he never getswrathy when the boys fail to agree with him, his predictions as to the results of various elections are taken as first-class types. Poodle will ever be remembered by his classmates for his innumerable feasts. A great social man he is ; never been known to spend Sunday at the College, alwaj-s having engagements for Sunda) ' dinners, and grave things are suspected of him by his actions when returning to College. John ' s latest hobby is baseball, of which he talks constantly, and is already pre- pared to give any one the outcome of the present teams. r COLLIER
