.. .~- ,... IT is with a feeling~J " & ' ~' '0 of mort':icatimo

~ | ~ ~that TIIE TECH~ S- .. . 1.':. has heard of cer-

"ei , '~., l'-tain happeningsin '955s recentclass meeting. Isour class spirit

degenerating, or hlave the class offices reachedsuch a state that they are no longer honorablepositions? THE TECHi does not take pleasurein censuring actions of students, especiallywhen they reachl the Junior period, but thepresent occasion seems to warrant it.

In the first place, the mere fact of a man'sbelonging to an organization, be it class,society, or club, throw-s upon him a moralobligation ; he should, to the full extent of hisability, further the interests of the body.Moreover, the organization has a claimn uponhim which hle has no right to refuse to recog-nize. When, therefore, lhe is suggested foran office, it is clearly lhis duty to allowV his

capable, through lack of ability, or otherqualifications, of performing the duties at-tendant upon the position. If he withdrawshis name, any other person who may benominated feels that he is "playing secondfiddle." Beyond this, the withdrawal ofnominations lowers the standard of any office,lessens the honor of the position, and theorganization therefore has a perfect right toprevent or censure the withdrawal.

We do not believe that the numerous with-drawals in the case in question were promptedby a longing for office in the Senior year (for'95's constitution forbids one man holding thesame office two years in succession), thoughthat can be and has been suggested in con-sideration of the circumstances

A nominee should appreciate the courtesyof thle person who nominated him, andl that ispoorly shown by withdrawal without stating agood and sufficient excuse. Finally, theduties of any class officer within our know-ledge are not onerous enough to overburdeneven the busiest student. Every man is sup-posed to attend class meetings, be hle officer ornot, and beyond that officers have little to do.

We have not, desired to make this a personalarticle, but the tendency in '95 seems sostrongly in the wrong direction that it ap-peared warrantable to strain a point. How-ever, there is a moral here for all wxvho willlook for it.

-E are gla(l to see that eflbrts are beingma1c1ide to f0orm a manldolin club. In the

4THEI TECH..

the 'cello playing of Mr.Mott-Smith was an at-tractive feature, and will be greatly missed thisseason. The mandolin, guitar, and zitherntrio, which gained such applause at the homeconcert last spring, is broken up, by the ab-sence of two players. This is extremely un-fortunate, for the combination was a novel andsuccessful one. Let our musical men puzzlea little over this problem, for it is more im-portant than may appear at first thought.

jHEN football men descend to unfairnessand rowdyism, they but gain enemies to

a sport which, though apparently rough anddangerous, is yet capable of being the noblestathletic game in existence. Such a scene astook place last week at Andover is to bedeeply deplored by both sides, but especiallyshould the Andover men feel ashamed that theysanctioned upon their own grounds the means,so evidently unfair and unsportsmanlike, takento win a game from a visiting team. Asidefrom the courtesy due to visitors, no fair-minded man would support for a momentmany of the decisions rendered by Andover'sreferee. Tech endeavored to play againstthirteen men, and might have done that suc-cessfully; but when, besides the unlucky thir-teen, there appears also a determination to winat all hazards, by foul means if necessary-and it was necessary-then, indeed, was Cap-tain Thomas right in ordering his men fromthe field. Our greatest regret is that a "scrap"was indulged in, yet, in view of human pro-pensities, it was half pardonable.

EVERAL rumors have reached our earsconcerning alleged partiality in choosing

players for the class and 'varsity football teams.Little credit do we give to these reports, forwe believe that nearly every football player inTechnology desires to see the strongest possi-ble team represent his college and his class.As for the 'varsity team, we are sorry that it

does not include two or three of our triedplayers. All our home games are approach-ing; now, if at all, are we to prove that theteam is a success. Should two or three of theold players resume their positions for the com-ing three weeks, our chances would be muchimproved. The line needs Gilman, and thereare two or three places where Rockwell couldfit in to advantage.

N one or two instances recently TlHE TECH

editors have been blamed for inaccuratestatements which have appeared in THE TECH.

Of course it is impossible for the editors to beacquainted personally with all the differentevents occurring. For this reason we are oftenobliged to accept the statements of others, inthe belief that they report accurately so far aspossible. Another source of uncertainty onour part is the illegibility of manuscript handedin. We request plain, straightforward ac-counts, but must do our best with the means athand. We, more than any, regret errors, andask your co-operation in avoiding them.

(OMMUNI GAIOONiS.

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for opin-ions expressed by corresiondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:

Is the Athletic Club getting to be a thing of thepast? It surely looks so from the size of its member-ship. Why isn't it larger? Simply because it doesn'tlay out a programme of the games to be held duringthe year; hence the students don't know what theywill get for their investment. As it is now, the otherassociations get their subscription books out early inthe season; then when the loyal contributor is "tackled"to join the Athletic Club, he feels it is a game ofchance whether it is worth it or not. He may heartilyagree with the officer that athletics should be en-couraged, yet what cares he for an Athletic Club inname only ?

Mr. G. S. Stose, '93, I., is taking an ad-vanced course in Geology.

Beware of the first intermediates. A littlecaution now may save regrets later on.

Mr. A. G. Robbins, '86, I., has been ap-pointed instructor in Highway Engineering.

Hayden has been chosen captain of the'97 football team. He has played back forthe Denver Athletic Club.

The "Technique" Board of '95 has given$25 to the football team. Well might otherorganizations follow this good example!

The Travel/cr continues its energetic policy,which is certainly worthy of support by Techstudents and of imitation by other papers.

The Banjo Club has now twelve members,of whom four play the banjeaurine, four theguitar, three second banjo, and one fixst banjo.

Literary criticism. -Freshnman (rising tothe occasion): " Professor Bates, I think thatsentence has some words in it that are ' super-flurious."

Dr. F. H. Williams gave an interestinglecture last Saturday, on "The Care of theBody," to numerous Freshmen and upperclassmen.

Those who desire to consult Mr. H. G.Pearson about first year English or theirthemes, will find him in Room 33, Rogers,on Mondays and Fridays, firom 1.30 to 3 P. M.

Last week Tuesday Ihe Glee and BanjoClubs were photographed together by requestof the Comedy Club. They are to assist atan entertainment in Music Hall on NovemberI5th, for which occasion the photograph isdesired.

Seniors taking hydraulic field work havemade several trips to Lowell, where the cur-rent velocity and quantity of water flowing inthe canals which turnish power for the millshave been measured

In connection with their hydraulic fieldwork, the fourth year Civils have measured,by means of floats, the flow in one of theflumes at Lowell, and also the flow of theMerrimac River at Nashua, N. H.

All Tech men who report Technology newsfor any paper, in Boston or out, are requestedto see Dr. William Z. Ripley, Room 40, Rog-ers, at their earliest opportunity. It is fortheir own advantage to do so immediately.

President Walker left for Rochester, NewYork, last week, where he expected to speakbefore a Divinity School. From Rochesterthe President goes to Chicago, to dischargehis duties as Chairman of the State Com-mittee of the World's Fair Management.

Professor Richards r-ead a paper on hisstadia telescope, before the Boston Society ofCivil Engineers. The errors ranged firom0.02 to o.o6 per cent, whereas with the usualform of telescope the errors range fi-om o.I too.4 per cent, the longest distance measuredbeing one mile.

Mr. Walter E. Hopton, '9 I , instructor twoyears ago in Mechanical Drawing, is now inBoston, visiting friends and recalling oldassociations. Mr. Hopton is chief draughts-man of the Illinois Steel Co., of Chicago, butis now taking a short vacation for a muchneeded rest.

Fencing lessons commenced at the "gym"last week, and will continue twice a week.About four dollars is the cost of the necessaryoutfit, including Ioils, besides a charge ofthirty cents tor each lesson. Students wish-ing to join the class should confer with Mr.Herman Boos at the'- gym."

Too many men in '96 are either ignorantor regardless of parliamentary law to rendertheir meetings a credit to the class or toTechnology. The Freshmen already canconduct a more orderly meeting than theirrivals. The latter all seem to talk at onceupon the same question. Ninety-six, yourpast record promised better than this.

The annual election of officers last Thurs-day, for the Junior Class, resulted as follows:President, M. L. Fish; Vice President, C. F.Tillinghast; Secretary, I. A. May; Treasurer,L. K. Yoder; Directors, R. C. Clark, J. W.Thomas, E. H. Huxley. The two members toserve with the President on the Institute com-mittee are G. W. Hayden and T. B. Booth.

Those who have special receitbls for sub-scri:ptions to THE TECH without stub booksmay now procure the booksfrom any editor.As a special inducement for those to subscribewho have not yet done so, we, during the nextthree weeks, offer THE TECH for the rest ofthe college year for $2.50, minus the retailprice of the number of copies issued iup to thedate of subscription.

The '96 class election has been commenced.The officers for the coming year are: Presi-dent, B. Hurd, Jr.; Vice President, R. D.Flood; Secretary, C. Trout; Executive Com-mittee, P. F. Johnson, J. Harrington, R. S.Hardy. Up to the present time (Saturday)the office of treasurer is still undecided, inas-much as no one of the three nominees receiveda majority, which was necessary for a choice.

The University Magazine has requestedpermission to reprint eighteen of the cutswhich appeared in '94's "Technique." Thissmacks of appreciation surely, and as such therequest will be granted, provided the cuts canbe collected. Some of them at any rate willappear in the November number of the Mag-a-

zine. The October issue contained a longarticle devoted to Technology, with a pictureof Rogers corridor on the front cover page.

The "Technique" Board have offered thefollowing values in prizes: $20 first and $Iosecond, best artistic contribution; best song,$I5; best poem, $Io; best collection ofgrinds, quotations, and miscellaneous matter,$Io; and $25 for the highest value in adver-tisements, the total amount being $Ioo orover; ten per cent will be paid on valuesreceived by those failing to win the prize.Competitors should confer with A. D. Fullerfor the literary department, and with A. L.Canfield for the business department for fullparticulars.

A French Club, with a present membershipof twenty-three students, was organized lastFriday. Its constitution is to be in French,and only French is to be spoken at the meet-ings. The Club is essentially social innature. Mr. J. A. Smith was chosen Presi-dent, and F. A. Bourne, Secretary. TheExecutive Committee is composed of M. C.H. L. N. Bernard, and one student from eachclass as follows- F. M. Mann, '94, A. W.Drake, '95, H. S. Fiske, '96, and Binly, '97.Messrs. Drake, Knight, and Bliss were ap-pointed to draw up the constitution.

A meeting of the Electrical EngineeringSociety, held May lo, I893, resulted in theelection of F. W. Harwood, '94, for Presi-dent; W. Hulse, '94, Vice President; and L.R. Nash, '94, Secretary-Treasurer. The firstbusiness meeting for this year was called toorder October i8th, in Room 23, WalkerBuilding, by President Harwood. After thereading of the minutes of the last meeting,an Executive Committee was elected, con-sisting of twenty-four members. From thiscommittee sub-committees, consisting of threemen, are selected to arrange the programmefor each meeting.

But what about the " returns fromM. I. T." and the eloping of "Sias?" Un-doubtedly the actors and actresses knewwith whom they had to deal, as the hattrimmed with Tech colors and the smiles di-rected at the "bald-headed row" testified.The stage intuition (?) which captivates theheart of a college man is indeed marvelous.

It is just as well,for next week is the beginning of a seriesof hard games: Trinity, November Ist, atBoston; Amherst, November 4 th, at Boston;Brown, November 8th, at Providence; Wil-liams, November IIth, at Williamstown;Trinity, November I5th, at Hartford; andBrown, November i8th, at Boston. Theseare all important contests, and should beattended by every man, the home games inparticular. The home games this year are,unfortunately, few, but for that very reasonshould be well attended. Make time to go ifyou cannot get it otherwise.

At the annual meeting of the Corporationof Technology, held two weeks ago, thefollowing were chosen chairmen of various

committees: on finance, William Endicott,Jr.; civil engineering, Howard A. Carson;mechanical engineering, Hiram F. Mills;physics, Francis Blake; mining, ThomasBouve.; architecture, Arthur Rotch; generalstudies, Alexander H. Rice; modern lang-uages, Francis A. Waterhouse; mathematics,Percival Lowell; chemistry and biology,Samuel Cabot; chemical engineering, ArthurT. Lyman. For the committee on the newcourse in naval architecture, that eminentyachtsman, Gen. Charles J. Paine, will act aschairman, two other members being Messrs.William H. Forbes and Howard Stockton.

The Civil Engineering Society began itsyear with a meeting in Room I I, Rogers,Wednesday evening, Oct. iSth. Aftelr the re-port of the Secretary, the election of honorarymembers of the society took place. Messrs.G. Dana, T. A. Emery, and K. S. Sweet,instructors in civil engineering; also, F. H.Fay, '93, who last year was President of thesociety, and Lieutenant Hawthorne, wereunanimously voted in. The names of threeJuniors and of forty Sophomores were pro-posed for active membership. After com-pleting the business programme, Mr. C. H.Johnson, '93, read the paper of the evening,entitled, "A Description of Approved Plansfor Elevating the Providence Division of theOld Colony Railroad." The sketch was madewith great accuracy in detail and proved mostinteresting.

About sixty Freshmen assembled in Hunt-ington Hall, at 4. I5 Wednesday, Octoberi8th, to discuss, by article, a constitution.As finally agreed upon, it embraced the usualprovisions, and was hardly different from thatof '96, except that two vice presidents are tobe elected instead of one, and all voting forclass officers shall take place at some meetingof the class, to be participated in by onlythose who have signed the constitution. Thefinal reading of the amended articles was leftuntil the following Friday. Campbell, theformelr temporary secretary, resigned on

account of overwork, and Taylor was appointedto take his place. The first part of the meet-ing was taken up by President Walker, ingiving advice on a few necessary points.. Ata meeting on Friday, October 20th, the con-stitution, as amended, was unanimously ac-cepted. Voting for a football manager wasthen begun, resulting in the election of H. T.Parker for that position.

After some discussion it was agreed to followthe customary rules in regard to the cane rush.The subject of getting up a class yell wasbroached, and, as finally decided upon, thechairman was empowered to select a commit-tee of five for the purpose. No other businesswas brought up, and the meeting adjourned.

At a meeting of the Tennis Association,held last Saturday noon in Room ii, Rogers,officers were elected as follows: A. D. Fuller,'95, President; T. Horton, '94, Vice Presi-dent; C. W. Dickey, '94, Secretary; J. C.Stevens, '94, Treasurer; and W. Ames, Jr.,'96, Executive Committee. These officesshould have been filled last spring, but thegeneral lethargy of the Association at thattime prevented the accomplishing of anything.Now that the Association starts with new lifewe may look for a successful tournament nextspring, for it is now too late this fall. TheExecutive Committee were instructed to lookaround for indoor courts, which will, if anvsuitable ones can be found, permit membersto practice during the winter. The matterwill be settled at a future meeting. Some dis-cussion has arisen as to the advisability oflooking for improved courts in Brookline orelsewhere, perhaps negotiating for the use ofthe Longwood Tennis Club Courts. This isworth investigating, surely.

The chair of industrial chemistry left vacantby Professor Norton's death last spring, hasnot yet been filled. Dr. Drown, head ofCourse V., superintends Course X., and Mr.Henry J. Williams, a former assistant ofProfessor Norton, is to give the greater part ofthe instruction given in the past by Professor

Norton, during the first term. Several men,distinguished in their various branches, willlecture as follows: Frank G. Stantial, ofCochrane Chemical Works, on mineral acidsand ammonia; Charles D. Jenkins, chemistof Low Art Tile Co., of Chelsea, on pottery,tiles, etc.; Louis J. Schiller, of StandardSugar Refining Co., on sugar; George R.Underwood, of Upton Glue Co., on glue;Webster Norris, of Boston Rubber Shoe Co.,on rubber; Charles W. Hinman, recentlyState Inspector of Gas, on illuminating gas;Arthur D. Little, expert in paper manufacture,on paper; and Charles S. Daggett, on aceticacid, acetates, and pigments. Nearly all ofthese gentlemen are graduates of Technology.

THE TEHEO- .

George W. West, Ph.D., on Anthropology.C. HowardWalker, on History of Ornament.Anthony C. White, S.B., on the Distribu-

tion of Electricity for Commercial Purposes.The Architectural Society held its second

meeting of the year in the Architectural Build-ing, on October i6th, and perfected the pro-gramme for the year. There were thirty-seven members present. As heretofore, tra-cings will be made by members of the Societyfrom the most valuable books in the library,which tracings become the permanent propertyof the Society. Blue prints are made fromthese tracings, and sold to the members atcost. Anyone acquainted with the study ofarchitecture will appreciate the great benefitthat this, the principal work of the Society, isto the students of architecture. The annualexhibit which it has been the habit of the So-ciety to show at the close of the second term,was not made last year, owing to the fact thatsome of the best work was at Chicago. Atthe end of this year, however, the work of thetwo years will be exhibited together. Thiscannot fail to eclipse any former attempt ofthe Society, since the standard of draughts-manship has been almost phenomenally raisedduring the past year. In addition to the workof the department, the Society will be able toexhibit the design by which M. Despradellewon the second Grand Prix de Rome, togetherwith several of his earlier designs. These areundoubtedly the finest designs ever brought tothis country, and they cannot fail to interestthe architects of the city as well as the stu-dents. The entertainment of the Society,which is considered of the first importance bythe members, will, as usual, be left in thehands of a committee on entertainment. Al-though this committee has not yet been ap-pointed, there will be little difficulty in select-ing an excellent one, since there are moregood entertainers among the Architects thisyear than ever before. Eight new memberswere proposed, and the dues of the activemembers paid; consequently, with a full treas-

ury and so large a number of active members,the Society seems fairly launched upon anothersuccessful year.

The most exciting class meeting that '96has ever had took place in Huntington Halllast Thursday, at one o'clock. The meetingwas called to decide upon the validity of cer-tain votes cast in the recent class election. Itseems that some of the Course IV. men wereunable to get over to Rogers to deposit theirballots, and so sent them by one of their num-ber, who patriotically sacrificed his time forthe good of his class. This was objected toby others as being contrary to the class con-stitution, which states that there shall be novoting by proxy. In the meeting there was along discussion over what constitutes votingby proxy, and how the constitution should beinterpreted. The defenders of the disputedballots seemed to overmatch their opponents,not only in arguments, but also in votes.After a great deal of oratory, it was moved toconsider the ballots valid. The oppositionimmediately attempted to lay the motion onthe table, and great excitement ensued.Cries of "Point of order," "QQuestion," and"4 Point of information," rose from all parts ofthe house. A dozen would-be speakers, eachshouting for recognition, waved frantically atthe President. As soon as one had finishedspeaking, there were two to answer him.Hungry members stood up, waved their hats,and appealed for adjournment. For a momentthere seemed to be danger of a repetition ofthe recent scene in the House of Commons;but the defenders of the challenged voteswere firm, and carried their point. The bal-lots were declared valid; and after some moreanimated discussion, the meeting was ad-journed at just two o'clock.

The Class of '96 continued its convention inregard to the legality of its election of officersin a meeting Saturday noon, October 2 ISt.

After a warm discussion for over an hournothing was arrived at. Finally it was de-cided that the election was legal.

4THE TECH.

That Andover Game.

THE first game with Andover was played atAndover, last Wednesday. The game was notfinished however, as Captain Thomas becamedisgusted with the unjust decisions of the ref-eree and the general "horse-play" on An-dover's part, and withdrew his team from thefield in the last half.

The decisions of the referee were, to put itmildly, exceeding "rank." It must be said,however, in favor of Mr. Referee, that hisvision was extremely powerful. He couldevidently see through about six men, and findout that instead of Thomas having the ball itbelonged to Andover. His knowledge offootball also deserved commendation, as sucha remark as "second down, twenty-threeyards to gain"! showed.

Andover started with the ball, but quicklylost it on four downs. The ball was thenpassed to Curtis, who dashed around the leftend, and had the ball behind Andover's goal-line in a little less than two minutes, almostbefore the Andover men knew where to lookfor it. Andrews kicked the goal. Score,6-o.

Andover then started in to play their hardest,and after a few short gains through the centerthe ball was passed to Durand, who managedto get around the right end, and finally madea touchdown. Letton kicked the goal, and thescore was tied, 6-6.

Tech gained ten yards by a flying V, butsoon lost the ball on a fumble. Short rushesby Durand, Hazen, and Holt took the ball toTech's 20-yard line, where it was lost on fourdowns.

The playing at this juncture was ratherloose, and each side made gains of ten andfifteen yards only to lose them. Andoverfinally got the ball on Tech's 4 o-yard line on afumble. Rushes by Manning and Durandtook the ball to Tech's 5-yard line, andDurand was finally pushed over. The tryfor goal failed. Score, io-6, in favor ofAndover.

In the second half Tech started in with arush, and the ball was soon on Andover's 4-yard line. At this stage in the proceedingsthe referee gave the ball to Andover, assert-ing that he "could tell whose ball it was,"although it was beneath a heap of half a dozenor more men. Captain Thomas then with-drew his men from the field.

It is to be regretted that Tech did not haveher regular team in the field which could havebeaten even the thirteen opposing men.

The teams lined up as follows: Techrushers, Underwood, Simonds, Whiting,Schmitz, Washburn, Perkins, Parker; quarterback, Thomas; half backs, Curtis, Hayden,Osgood; full back, Andrews. Andover-rushers, Hazen, Rogers, Holt, Pierson,Mackintosh, Gould, Chadwell Greenway;quarter back, Glynn; half backs, Manning,Durand; full back, Letton. Referee, L.Murray, Andover; umpire, M. Paige,Andover.

Attendance, 700.

W. P. I., o; Tech, 40.

SATURDAY, October 2Ist, Technology linedup against Worcester Tech on Worcester Oval.It was Tech's day to win, anwd win shLe didwith a vengeance. Worcester was outplayedat every point, Tech showing a great improve-ment in team work since a week ago. Techstarted with the ball, Curtis making ten yards.This xvas followed by good gains through theline, and long runs round the ends. Curtismade the first touchdown in five minutes, and

IAncdrews kicked goal.Worcester's V was wAell stopped by the

I center, but Allen broke out, and made eightyards. Worcester reached Tech's 23-yardline, whlere Tech by sharp play obtained theball. This was the nearest Worcester cameto scoring. Tech started down the field;Curtis got round right end, and sprintedeighty yards for a touchdown. Andrewskicked goal. Score, 12-0.

THE TECH. -.

Worcester was soon forced to kick after thestart. Tech again rushed the ball down thefield. Curtis made his third touchdown, andAndrews kicked goal. Another touchdownwas soon after made by Curtis; Hayden doingsome very pretty dodging and running. An-drews kicked goal.

Allen, by good interference, made a con-siderable gain at the start. Tech immediatelyheld for four downs, the line breaking throughin fine style. Andrews soon punted, andboth ends were quick to get down the field.Worcester lost the ball. Andrews kicked andParker fell on the ball. Curtis made anotherlong run, and Hayden went across for thefifth touchdown. Andrews failed for goal.After a little more playing, the first half ofthirty minutes ended with the score 28-0.

The second half was short. Worcesterstarted out strongly and had gained a total oftwenty yards, when a fumble cost them theball. Tech now did the best team work ofthe game. Five yards or more were gainedalmost every time. Curtis made the sixthtouchdown, from which Andrews kicked agoal.

Worcester fumbled again soon after thestart, and again Tech ploughed through thecenter and ran round the ends at will. Hay-den made the last touchdown, Andrews kick-ing goal. Time was called with the score40-0.

The teams lined up as follows: Tech-rushers, Parker, Perkins, Washburn, Mana-han, Whiting, Simonds, Underwood; quarterback, Thomas; half backs, Curtis, Hayden;full back, Andrews. Worcester Tech--rush-ers, Ware, Morris, Bryhan, Boyden, Brooks,Durand, Harris; quarter back, Lathrop(Warren); half backs, Allen, Nelson,(Zaeder); full back, Arnold (Cunningham.)Umpire, Mr. A. A. Highlands; referee, Mr.H. L. Dadmun.

Guy L. Gary, the crack rider of the PressCycle Club, expects to enter Tech next year.

SURELY those are enterprising lads who so per-sistently urge us to scan the "full account of the foot-ball edition." If competition be not there, the Loungerwill cease attending pol. econ. The vigorous scrapsthat take place on our historic steps every Monday atone o'clock, tell us of a busy world outside of Tech,where we, too, soon shall be, urging our sales. Lastweek the Lounger spent a sunny hour watching thevaried scenes and expressions furnished by the hard-working news dispensers. Those are diplomatic smilesthat greet the heterogeneous crowd passing up anddown the steps. There is a smile for the Prof. and forthe Senior, a smile for the Junior and the Sophomore,and an especially complacent, engaging smile for theFreshman, whose pennies jingle so pleasantly to thenewsboys' ears. Particularly does that soldier-cappedvender seek the military Freshman, perhaps from asubtle sympathy that he, too, must don the visor, andwith a merry twinkle impresses the need of a thoroughacquaintance of the doings of Technology accordingto the Traveller. At last enticed by the smootheloquence of the financier, impelled by the Lounger'sadvice, and urged on by the many observing eyes, theFreshman hand goes dovwn into the Freshman pocket,and another bird is bagged. But no ! With a mostsuggestive look the sly newsboy finds no change.Must the paper, so nicely tucked away, be returned?By no means. The newsboy also "keeps the change,"and is ready for another victim.

At present the Class of '95 poses as the best orworst victim in the way of innocuous desuletude, ofinnate perversity, or else of artful scheming, that haslately come to the Lounger's notice. It is worse thana lack of that spirit so conspicuous for its absenceamong us, when every office of the noble Juniors goesa begging. The I.ounger can suggest no better wayfor the members of '97 to learn what can be done inthis glorious climate, than for them to attend such a

gathering as '95 was pleased to hold last week. Hewould also recommend as a post for excellent physicaltraining, the position of him who writes upon theboard the names of nominated candidates, and asquickly rubs out those of withdrawing candidates. Itmight also prove a most entertaining study of con-stitutional history, to discover if those who now somodestly withdraw, are in truth lying in wait for theglorious opportunities of next year, which would beprevented by a too festive indulgence in presentpolitical fame. Something surely is radically wrongeither in the class constitution or in the constitution ofthe class, when the greater lights refuse to shine.

To the Lounger's mind, lights that can shine andwon't shine, should be made to shine, or else be forcedto disappear forever. Whether or no this vigoroustonic will be administered by the class next year,remains to be seen. In the meantime the fact remainsthat '95 deserves condolence in that all must suffer fora few.

D [SENCIIANTMENT.

We wandered through the autumn fields;Sweet was her smile, her teeth like pearls;

The lily to her beauty yields,The gentle breezes tossed her curls.

Alas! the wind less softly blew(Woe for this queen among all girls);

Off went her hat, and with it, too,The gentle breezes tossed her curls.

- Yale Record.

A BROKEN VOWV.

Over her lover she pleadingly leaned,And he promised for her dear sake,

As he lay in the hammock and saw her tears,Not another drop to take.

With a thrill of joy the fair girl sprangTo his side, with a loving look.

The vow was broken, likewise the rope,For another drop he took.

THE OLD SUMMER HOUSE.

'Twas a dilapidated, ancient shed,The woodwork stained and fallen to decay;And often at the close of summer's day

A troop of frolic dames would overspreadThe old gray bench with gauzy drapery;

Pressing the worn grass with small, glistening feet,Filling the tremulous air witll laughter sweet,

That mocked the river's undertone of glee.

But once there chanced into that trysting placeOne to whom fame was but a household sound;

Whose pensive air, and calm, majestic grace,Suit well the bays wherewith his brows are crowned.

And since that time his footprints of those waysHave made for future pilgrims classic ground.

THE THORN THAT GUARDS.

Far in the corner on the stairsWe were sitting together, she and I;

The murmuring music was soft and low,Like zephyrs that float 'neath a summer sky.

She held in her fingers a deep red rose,And was plucking the petals, one by one;

Her eyes were filled with the dreamy lightThat softens the west when the day is done.

"Ah, Nelly, you are a bud yourself;Its blushing sweetness is all thine.

Cannot you let me press the flower,And keep it forever, and call it mine?"

The fiair lips trembled, the dimples smiled,Her eyes told clearly that I had lost,

But my heart still hoped, till she gently sighed,"You forget what American Beauties cost."

-Yale Comrant.

F'AREWVELL.

I'm going far away from here;I say it sadly with a sigh;

Yet we must part forevermore,And say good-bye.

I hate to take this last farewellFrom you, the first to reach my heart;

And though you wronged me more than all,'Tis hard to part.

For I have loved you in the past,I loved you till a day ago;

But now, alas, that you were false,Too well I know.

So we must part. It gives me painFar greater than I care to tell,

To bid the one I thought so trueA last farewell.

But faith is dead; and when that's goneLove fades e'en like the setting sun:

We cannot keep the night away;- The day is done. -Br-tnonian.
