23 seeing us for the first time at the Institute the Faculty thought they had discovered a new ele¬ ment, one that required special treatment. Accord¬ ingly, instead of reading between the lines in standard French works, we began by juggling Sturm’s Theorem for Mr. Beals’ entertainment, and by applying new methods for solving problems in solid geometry under the watchful eye of Mr. Coombs. We were also introduced to Prof. Gladwin in his studio. Here we were all cher¬ ubs, but the models had the wings. Here also we made our mark—on the statues, and were entertained by “ Gladdy,” who gave us some choice bits of acting, appearing at his best as the hero in “ Much Ado about Nothing.” During these theatricals, Dr.-acted as door-keeper. We survived the semi-annuals and began our Junior year with the largest class in the Tech. We went to the initiation exercises in trig, “according to the time-hon¬ ored custom,” without a lesson. In invential geometry we learned the theory of the game of billiards, and applied our k nowledge down town. German crossed our path at the beginning of our Junior year. Descriptive geometry is out of sight to most of us. “Well, just consider the problem in space for a moment.” We are going to have our descrip, problems bound and then sell them to Ninety-six. Analytic is our favorite study.
