was Superintendent of Schools in Deadwood and Rapid City, S. D., and for three years was Professor of Mathematics in the State School of Mines in South Dakota. He then came East, and took post graduate work at Clark University, Worcester, during 1890 and 1891, thence coming to the W. P. I. as Associate Professor of Mathematics. We have had the greater part of our Mathematics under Prof. Conant, having had the pleasure of his instruction in Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus. Prof. Conant received his A. M. from Dartmouth in 1887 and his Ph. D. from Syracuse University in 1892. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the New York Mathematical Society. U. Waldo Cutler, S. B., . . . . . . Professor of Modern Languages. Prof. Cutler is a graduate of the W. P. I., of the Class of ’74. His first position as a teacher was at Brimfield. Mass., where he taught in the Hitchcock High School. He then went to Holliston, where he introduced Drawing into the public schools. In 1877 he came to the W. P. I. as an Assistant Professor in the languages. In 1879 he went to Germany for a two years’ course of study. Upon his return he was engaged as professor, and has remained here ever since, with the exception of one year, which he spent at Johns Hopkins University. In 1892 Prof. Cutler was made Senior Professor of Modern Languages, and it is in this capacity that ’9(5 has had a very intimate acquaintance with him. George H. White, S. B., . . . . . . . Professor of Civil Engineering. Prof. White is in a department with which the Class of ’9(1 has had no direct connection, although not altogether uninterested in its work. Prof. White is an example of a self-made man, having started with practically no advantages except a large store of perseverence. He commenced as an apprentice to a civil engineer, and subsequently worked his way through the civil engineering course at the W. P. I. He then worked at his business out West, principally in Minnesota and Dakota, where he figured prominently in railroad work. In 1888 he was offered the Professorship of Civil Engineering at the Tech, and he commenced work here in 1884. Arthur Kendrick, A. M., ....... Assistant Professor of Physics. Prof. Kendrick was a classmate of Prof. Haynes at Amherst College, where they received their diplomas in 1887. The three succeeding years Professor Kendrick spent at Leicester Academy as an instructor in the sciences. During the following two years, lie was engaged in the study of physics in the Graduate School of Harvard University, receiving his degree of A. M. in 1891. In 1893 he came to Tech as Assistant Professor of Physics, in which position we learned to know him as a hard, conscientious worker and a thorough gentleman. He left in January, 189(5, to accept the position of Associate Professor of Physics in the Rose Polytechnic Institute, at Terre Haute, Ind. George H. Haynes, Ph. D., ...... Professor of History and Economics. Prof. Haynes is an Amherst graduate of the Class of ’87. He taught at Tech from 1887 to 1890 and then took a course at Johns Hopkins, where he received his Ph. D. in 1893. He then returned to Tech, where he has since taught Political Economy, Civil Government, and German. We have been most intimately connected with Prof. Haynes in the two former studies, although one division of the class learned the first rudiments of German under his watchful eye. He is known to us as the most complete and concise lecturer of any of our professors. Prof. Haynes does not confine himself alone to teaching, but does considerable writing on scientific subjects for prominent magazines, such as the New England Magazine. and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.

it; William W. Bird, S. B., . . . . Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Prof. Bird is a graduate of Tech, of the Class of ’87. He r emained, after graduation, as an instructor, and con¬ tinued in this capacity until 1891, when he departed for new fields. In 1894 he returned to Tech, as a Professor in Mechanical Engineering. He has taught ’90 in Thermo-Dynamics and Machine Design, and has also had charge of the Mechanical Laboratory and the Thesis work of the Mechanics. Besides his work at Tech he also occupies the office of President and Treasurer of the Broadway Iron Foundry Co., of Cambridgeport. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and of the Society for the Advancement of Technical Education. Zklotes W. Coombs, A. M., . Assistant Professor of Modern Languages. Prof. Coombs is another Amherst alumnus, having graduated from that college in 1888. After his graduation he taught one year in the Brooklyn Tech. He then went to the University of Virginia as a student and also as instructor. From there he came to Tech, in 1890, and filled the positions of clerk and instructor in the languages, remaining here until 1894, when he went abroad for a year ' s study at the University of Berlin. Upon his return he was made Assistant Professor of Modern Languages, which position he now holds. Although we have never studied under Prof. Coombs, his active inter¬ est in Tech organizations, and particularly his presence on the athletic field, have brought him before us so constantly that we feel at liberty to call him one of our professors. Walter L. Jennings, Ph. I)., ...... Assistant Professor of Chemistry. Dr. Jennings, wlio has been our genial instructor in the sciences of Mineralogy and Metallurgy, is a son of old Harvard, where he received his A. B., in 1889. After remaining an additional three years in advanced work, he re¬ ceived his degree of Doctor. He then went abroad for a period of two years, studying at Berlin and Heidelberg, and upon his return was immediately elected to the faculty of W. P. 1. By his thoroughness as a teacher and his genial and gentlemanly ways Dr. Jennings has become very popular with our Class, and we feel sorry that we are obliged to break off our intimacy with him. Sidney A. Reeve, M. E., . . . . Adjunct Professor of Steam and Hydraulic Engineering. Prof. Reeve is the only representative of Yale among the faculty. He graduated from this classic institution in the Class of ’87 and received his M. E. two years later. From Yale he went to New York City, where he was a member of the corps of engineers of the Westinghouse, Church, Kerr Co. He left this situation to accept a position on the editorial staff of the Progressive Age , published in New York and devoted almost entirely to the gas industry. He has made the subject of gas such a complete study that he is now recognized as an authority in this branch of industry. Prof. Reeve came to Tech at the beginning of the second term of our Senior Year and he has piloted us through Steam Engineering in a very profitable and interesting manner.
