P PRESENTING this Aftermath to our Class¬ mates the Board recognizes that in their at¬ tempt to render it truly representative of “Tech as we all know it,” much has been omitted that might fittingly have been in¬ cluded within its pages. And from the view¬ point of the individual, it is probable that much has been included which might fittingly have been omitted. For our free use of this individual, we can only explain that the Class is made up of individuals, and that we hope every knock will be considered an “elevation.” The in¬ accuracies of a first edition are certain to appear, and for these we ask your indulgence. If, in your perusal of these pages, some little thing pleases you, please be sufficiently pleased to let your pleasure carry you through some other things which we would be pleased to have please you, but which, although pleasing others, will fail to please you. And if in the future something in this book brings a smile to your face, the Board will be amply repaid for the labor expended in placing it in your hands. 9

And his instructors exert upon him an influence as strong and directing as it is invisible, unrealized, intangible. And here we pause, for this influence of the Faculty which may well be relied upon does not reach him strongly during the year he needs it most, for the new Techman, isolated from his father’s guiding words and example, is denied the more intimate acquaintance with the older Professors which is the privilege of the upper classmen. His first year is “plugged” out alone, almost entirely shut off from the guidance of older men. But simultaneously with the beginning of his Sophomore year commences his closer knowledge of the Faculty members—those men who have labored patiently with successive batches of semi-raw material, shaping and fashioning it into finished products capable of creditable work in its chosen field. It is at this time that the Tech¬ man begins to obtain his insight into the Peer of Professors, the soft- voiced, gentle leader whom the Catalogue so coldly terms “Acting- President and Professor of Mathematics.” How much more than that he is to the graduates of the Institute! A scholar whose efficiency if 10
