OLD weather, the wave of footballand the appearance of the onceproud and haughty gobbler atevery market-place, warns us of

the approach of New England's time-honoredday of thanks. Thanksgiving Day, the re-vered and noble legacy of our, Pilgrim fore-fathers, -finds Tech men well along in thework of the term. The Freshman has nowentered Tech life, no longer as a pronouncedenemy of the wily Sophomore, but as afellow-student willing to lay aside his pettytroubles and prejudices, and ready to uphold

in his turn the honor of the Institute. Classelections over, the Sophomores and Juniorshave ceased discussing politics, and are look-ing ahead to events which the future has instore for them; while the Senior, rushed bythe amount and nature of his work, is nowbeginning to think of his thesis. In themidst of these things comes the Thanks-giving holiday, and the short respite fromwork will be welcomed by all.

E notice an evident ten-tency among the students,especially in the engineer-ing courses, to slight thosestudies, such as Englishand History, which haveno direct bearing on their

technical work. Such a tendency is inevi-table in a school where so much time necessa-rily has to be given to mathematical and engi-neering studies. Moreover, it is perfectlynatural for students, who always have just alittle more work than they can do, to slightthose studies which do not seem essential tothem. But that is just the question: Arethese studies not essential? While we haveno intention of saying that a famil-iarity with Shakespeare will make a man abetter engineer, or that a knowledge ofSpencer's prose will teach him how to set avalve-gear, still we do say that it is more im-portant for him to be a man than an engineer;more important for him to know how to livethan how to run a engine. We noted in aprevious issue that Dr. Pritchet has underconsideration plans for increasing the amountof time devoted to the study of English. Ifsuch an increase should come, we hope itwill be greeted not as so much "rot," but as anadded opportunity.

Civil Engineering Society Smoke Talk.The first regular smoke talk of the Civil

Engineering Society was held Monday even-ing at the Technology Club House. Ac-cording to President Pritchett's wishes, itwas a perfectly informal affair, and refresh-ments were served. A very large number ofstudents were present, who thoroughly en-joyed the evening, and listened to some veryentertaining and instructive words from Mr.Breed and Mr. Flannery on the "Relationsof the Contractor and Engineer." The sub-ject was a very interesting one, as it affordsopportunity for the telling of personal anec-dotes, and was a very important one on ac-count of its direct bearing on the work of ayoung engineer.

Mr. Flannery, at present contractor on theWeston Aqueduct, opened the smoke talkwith a discussion of the '' Relation betweenthe Contractor and Engineer," from the stand-point of the contractor. Mr. Flannery is aVirginian, and has had a varied experienceof eighteen years in all parts of the world.In these years, he stated that, with a fewexceptions, his relation with engineers hadalways been amicable and of the best. Hecited two or three of these exceptions. Thegist of his remarks was that the contractor issecond in power, entirely at the mercy of theengineer. If the engineer is honest in theperformance of his duties he must treat thecontractor fairly and squarely. This is allthe contractor can expect, and, by so doing,the engineer in no way conflicts with hisduties toward his employer. Later in theevening Mr. Flannery gave, as he put it,some points from the standpoint of the hobo,better known in British Honduras as ballast.

Mr. Breed, of the Department of CivilEngineering, discussed the topic from theengineer's point of view. Mr. Breed beganwith a discussion of the legal relation betweenthe contractor and engineer, stating that theengineer's word as to whether or not work

had been properly done was considered final,unless the contractor could prove a collusionbetween the engineer and employer. Passingon to the professional relations, he showedhow important it was for the young engineerto obtain the good will and confidence of hissuperiors, in order to have their support inany disputed question, and how it was impos-sible to obtain this confidence without per-sonal fitness for the work. With regard to thepersonal relations of engineer and contractor,Mr. Breed considered that they should be ofa very limited nature, on the principle that itwas pretty hard to condemn a man's workwhen you had dined with him the night be-fore. Finally, Mr. Breed stated the neces-sity for absolute honesty on the part of theengineer, with regard to all attempts atbribing.

Mining Engineering Society.

Friday afternoon, November I5th, Presi-dent Pritchett gave a very interesting talkbefore the members of the Mining Engineer-ing Society on" The Relations of the YoungGraduate to Professional and BusinessMen."

At a business meeting held immediatelyafter Pres. Pritchett's address, a well-executeddesign for the Society Shingle, drawn byB. E. McKechnsie, was officially accepted. Adinner committee was then appointed toarrange for a society dinner at no distantdate. Before the meeting closed some twentynew members were elected from the twolower classes.

The Tech Student's Thanksgiving."' Life is but an emlptly dream."

He was seated on the small of his back inthe spacious car seat and was watching theflying landscape. The train rushed througha thick pine woods, startling some crowswhich were rocking in the topmost branches,then it whirled across a clearing dotted withblack stumps pushing through the snow. Ashrill whistle, and it banged over a gradecrossing. A pung filled with hay and shout-ing children waited for it to pass; probablythe driver for the district was taking themhome from school. They were to have avacation, too,-- and the Tech man gave agrunt of satisfaction and slide farther downupon his back. Familiar scenes appeared.There was the trout brook, an icy trackthrough the bare woods and across thepasture. And here was the old mill withthe swimming pool above the dam.

Grandfather, with a generous grin framedin his grizzled beard, wrung his hand as hestepped from the train. Old gray Dolly wasimpatiently shaking her head and pawingthe snow. From beneath the big buffalorobe the Tech man looked across the inter-val. The shadow of the hill was pushingout across the valley as the sun dropped intothe western sky. Here and there a littleblack ribbon of smoke working upward,marked a home. He felt an exhilaratingtingle creep over him and drew his fill ofthe fresh, bracing air. Why had he everworried about studies !

Grandmother met him at the kitchen doorwith apron over her dear gray head, andbehind pushed and tussled the rising genera-tion. All were there, mother, father, uncle,aunts and she. She had been away to board-ing-school. Pigtails and short dresses werethings of the past. He wondered if she hadbecome too old to " tread load" now.

After supper all gathered before the fireand roasted chestnuts and told stories. Cousin

Tom wished to play checkers. The Techman never played checkers except withCousin Tom. Cousin Tom cleaned the board,game after game, greeting each victory witha derisive guffaw. Uncle Bill watched thegame closely, but remained silent until theTech man had relearned the game andturned the tables. He didn't need to con-tribute his guffaw. Uncle Bill attended tothat. One defeat was always enough forCousin Tom, so the checker-board was putaway until the next visit.

Then came the healthy sleep in the big,high bed with the heavy quilts, then thehurried dressing in the morning with themercury at zero. He didn t mind that, hewas having a vacation! Before breakfasthe went out to the barn to watch the milking.He climbed to the loft and tried the old jumpdown into the hay, then stopped to pat oldBilly and rub his warm nose, while jealousMouser rubbed her winter coat off upon histrouser-legs.

After breakfast came a tramp in the woods.He shot no partridges; but he had the tramp,and a rousing appetite for crisp, juicy turkeyand plenty of grandmother's thick pun'kinpie. A frolic in the snow making snowmenfor the youngsters settled dinner. Then hehitched up Dolly in the high-backed, yellowsleigh, and he and she went for a ride I" downthe road." They called at the Brown's, downin " the Gully." After a merry molasses-candy-pull, with nuts and russet apples, theyhitched-up for home. He suddenly becamethoughtful. 6She was seated close beside him.A loose wisp of her hair blew against hischeek and its magic touch sent a thrill ofstrength and protecting manhood surgingthrough him. He looked down at her. Heneeded no light to know that she lookedpretty. She felt his gaze and looked up.He examined the stars. How small theyseemed, twinkling cheerily away up in thecold sky. He tried to say something; buthe still watched the stars and remained silent.How contented he felt! He wondered if shewould-

Tech Push.

(Wit/i Apologies to Gillet Burgess.)

There's a game of ball at Cambridge,And we Tech men all are out

For the Blue or for the Crimson,You can hear us gaily shout,

All about.We will cut our recitations if

Our hours are not free,And we only say, " The game to-day

We've surely got to see."Yet our 'Varsity's disbanded,High and dry we left them stranded;

Th'y could win for us with glory,Or still fighting nobly, fail,

But we never paid attention,Never gave them thought or mention,

While we went to yell for Harvard,Or we went to yell for Yale.

Now our rooters at the gridironWere silent as in church,

And we voted down our 'VarsityAnd left them in the lurch,

With a smurch;For we pay out cash in plenty,

To go through the Harvard fence;But for the play of Red and Gray

We'd not give in thirty cents.Isn't it a bit amusingThat our maximum enthusing

Is o'er Soph. and Freshy contests?While for Tech our spirits stale,

And we are not much elatedWhen we think how Tech is rated;

But we pay to yell for Harvard,And we pay to yell for Yale.

Welsh Rarebit.Requisites for three persons - Half pound of cheese;

two eggs; butter, piece size of an egg; small half cup ofBass's ale or milk; half teaspoon -mustard; small amount

of celery or table salt; pinch of cayenne; dessertspoon oflemon juice and same amount of Worcestershire sauce:a watchful eye and a lot of care.

Direcrions.- Put ale and butter in pan over water bath.When smoking hot put in cheese, which has been grated

or cut very fine and over which has been sprinkled themustard, salt and pepper. Have the eggs lightly beaten,the whites and yolks in separate cups. As soon as the

cheese is of the consistency of cream, pour the eggs in

slowly, yolks first.Do not under any circutmstances stof stirring.As soon as well mixed remove the water bath and hold

the-pan over the naked flame until the contents boil. Assoon as they are smooth and bubbling, gently pour inover the surface the Worcestershire and then the lemonjuice. Keep up the stirring. Serve on red-hot toast orbiscuits. '- The addition of a little Chutney on the dishedrarebit will add to its savour.

For stirring a fork is to be preferred to a spoon. Forlarger dishes increase in proportion.

The above is an old recipe of an English cook, and has

never proved to be other than a great success. Successdepends upon a quick eye and nimble fingers.

-Several requests have been made for the foregoingrecipe. Mrs. King has kindly provided the much-covetedfacts, and the Tech man has now ample reason for absencefrom lectures.

Notwithstanding the protests of the publicagainst the using .of the water of NiagaraFalls for power purposes, the contract forthe building of a large electric power planton the Canadian side has been awarded tothe Canadian Niagara Power Company.

At the McGill University, Montreal, theengineering building is now lighted by a30o-kilowatt storage battery. This doesaway with the necessity of keeping thesteam plant continually running.

A driver of an automobile in Springfield,Mass., recently showed great presence ofmind. His machine canght fire, and insteadof calling out the fire department, he ran themachine to the nearest fire-house, and therehad it extinguished.

The remarkable conservativeness' of theEnglish is shown by the fact that the gascompanies do not as yet consider the electriclight a dangerous rival.

Hare and Hounds.The fifth run of the Hare and Hounds

Club was held last Saturday from West Rox-bury. Owing to the discouraging weatherand to the game at Cambridge, the attend-ance was only half that on the previous runs.The men out, however, made 6p in enthusi-asm what they lacked in numbers.

A. W. Pearson, '03, and A. P. Porter, 'o4,were the hares, and laid a trail of sevenmiles, rather well, considering the wind;but the stretches of wet footing were not in-spiriting on such a cold day, and part atleast might have been avoided. The trailcrossed Billings' Field, and went west toBrook Farm, and around Mt. Benedict,across the Weld estate, nearly to Roslin-dale, and then up Bellevue Hill. The finishwas straight down Bellevue Street.

The fast bunch passed the slow bunchabout midway upon the run, and finishedfive minutes ahead. Captain Worcester wasfirst in, with Riley, '05, at his heels, andPember, '02, close behind. In the slowbunch Flinn, '04, held the lead all the waydown Bellevue Hill, although Wetmore, '02,

made a good effort to catch him. The latterwas second, with Ovington, '04, and Hunter,'02, following next in order, and well aheadof the rest.

H. B. Pulsifer '03 has been appointedVice-Captain, to fill the vacancy causedby the resignation of H. H. Gould, '04.

Thankful? Yes, THE LOUNGER is thankful: muchmore so, indeed, than he had expected to be. Forhas not the Faculty granted a whole, complete, andentire day's leave of absence for the celebration?That the much desired three days of vacation shouldbe cut down to two was no more than was to beexpected,---and, indeed, that the two should beincorporated into one is only a pretty, - thoughleft-handed - compliment to the institution of matri-mony which is itself second only to the Technologi-cal Institution in popularity. But this anti-expansionmovement seemed destined to even greater works:rumor suggested that only the afternoon of Thanks-giving Day was to be given to the students: thencame the report that the maximum allowance was toto be merely the customary hour for dinner andlunch-room stock was at a premium, then-andfinally came the ominous whisper that even the noon-hour was to be withheld, so that later a whole daycould be granted for Christmas. Then suddenly,like the sun out of a cloudy sky, - - or like the 22 -0score in the Yale football game -came the officialannouncement that the technological populace wasto have the whole day. And THE LOUNGER, wasthankful. The shock was great -but joy seldomkills; and THE LOUNGER, now restored to his Morrischair, underneath the Tech office banquet lamp (thelast Christmas gift of the Faculty), marvels no longeras to what the world could do without the InstituteFaculty, but what Thanksgiving can do with it.

And still THE LOUNGER is thankful. The Tech isnow in its twenty-first volume; and in that numberof years THE LOUNGER has become established in goodpsychological habits. The revised edition of the OldFarmers' Almanac says- in large letters printedlongitudinally beside the November calendar--" Now prepare to be than/Tful." Somewhere aroundthe last week of the month appears an asterisk, andfollowing it the preremptory scriptural quotation,"be thtankftd." And so, just as surely as Novembernears its close, THE LOUNGER'S heart swells, his eyesbeam, his mouth widens: he is tlhankful.

Yet there are good and sufficient reasons, thisyear, for THE LOUNGER perennial exuberance. Hisfriends, the students of Yale College, visited variousof the younger brothers of their lady friends in Cam-bridge, played ball with them, and made the young-

sters happy by indulging them with the winning ofthe game. THE LOUNGER commends this patronizingspirit. He himself once knew the fascinating witch-ery of somebody else's sister's eyes. It is worth agame. Defeat is, v-erily, only victory in 'disguise. Agalme within a game: lose the smaller, gain thelarger. What is twentf-two to nothing to sweet i6 tokeep ? Just such thoughts as these, doubtless, ani-mated the hundred Freshmen of Technology, whenthey trooped through the Boston streets on Saturdaynight, locating themselves in front of Keith's Theatreand shouting for "Yale," as encouragement for theHapvarderians within. Impressed by the same scrip-tural influence that moved THE LOUNGER in his lastweek's effusion (vide the twentieth line from theend), they emphatically reiterated many biblicalallusions, chief among them being the often reiteratedopinion that "Tech is Hell." THE LOUNGER was notone of them; and - is thankful.

Still once more THE LOUNGER is thankful. TheTechnology flag has been chosen, and chosen well.As a sinuous compliment to the Bursar, the bannerwas made to resemble closely the Chinese imperialstandard; at the same time, out of deference toCourse XIX., -- the Lunch Room,- it was shapedlike a ten-cent piece of strawberry pie. An innertriangle serves as a pat on the back to the ChristianEndeavor Association, while the wedge outline of thewhole contour is typical of the Institute of Tech-nology itself. Looked at as standing on the basea, b (See Wells' " Hours in a K'aleidoscope," D. C.Heath, I90o), the pyramid suggests the Institute'sorganization: President at the top, then the Secre-tary and the Bursar, side by side,--then Thomp-son, Skarstrom, and Mrs. King, and so ondown to the student mass in the long line at thebase. Revolved through ninety degrees on to thebase b e, the design is typical of the decline in num-bers of students who go through the Institute course:large at first, tapering down to approximate zero asthe end of the fourth year is reached. Ninetydegrees more, the design now in a V position-suggests, figuratively, the outline of the tree thestudent must climb to get the S. I:. hung at the top.The third quadrant's revolution turns it on to basec a, showing the expansion of a point into a lengthyperpendicular, clearly symbolical of the flunks thatare distributed during the student's first year atTech. The legend is simple: yet it fits the subjectto a T. It is complementary to the D that is sonumerous on the intermediate reports: while theproduct of the two, T D is not only the mathemati-cal formula for the length of a physics lecture interms of the desired unit of time, but also ap-pears carefully engraved in the white clay bowlof THE LOUNGER'S pipe. Reversed in position, theproduct appears as D T, the symbol of chapel.Thus are all the departments of the Institute repre-sented. "Which" -- as Wells says in his latestnovelette -"was to be proved."
