THE ANTENNA. 16 we went over the entire works in company with Prof. Thomp¬ son and the gentlemanly proprietor. We derived much useful information, as well as pleasure, from the visit, and all returned home well pleased. After the February vacation we, together with the Senior class, received the benefit of a course of fifteen lectures on Geology, b} r Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, of Boston. These lectures were full of interest, though they extended rather late in the season. How different are our feelings from what they were when we commenced the present year. We have nearly completed the Calculus, and now nothing remains of pure mathematics for us to encounter at the Institute. We have been introduced into the wonders of Physics, and are now better able to explain the phenomena of Sound and Light than we were. We have been through a course of practical Chemical Anatysis in the Labora¬ tory, and now have some idea of the process of Qualitative Analysis. But this history would be far from complete, were we not to mention French, and speak of the startling mistakes in transla¬ tion, and of the many good natured laughs we have had at the expense of different members of the class. With this paper the year’s history of ’76 must close, and it remains to be seen what members of the class may win for them¬ selves high honors, and become wortlty of being called “ the heroes of ’76.”
