5 rl- MT :0 a=- R assacusett sttute of Tecn0o10gy, BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON. FRANCS A. WALKER, Presdent. P THs school s devoted to the teachng of scence, as appled to the varous engneerng professons; vz., cvl, mechancal, mnng, and electrcal engneerng, as well as to archtecture, chemstry, metallurgy, physcs, and natural hstory. Besdes the above dstnctly professonal courses, the nsttute offers scentfc courses of a less techncal character, desgned to gve students a preparaton for busness callngs. A four years' course n bology, chemstry, and physcs has been establshed, as preparatory to the professonal study of medcne. Modern languages are taught, so far as s needed for the ready and accurate readng of scentfc works and perodcals, and may be further pursued as a means of general tranng. The consttutonal and poltcal hstory of England and the Unted States, poltcal economy, and nternatonal law are taught, n a measure, to the students of all regular courses, and may be further pursued as optonal studes. Applcants for admsson to the nsttute are examned n Englsh grammar, geography, French, arthmetc, algebra, modern hstory, and geometry. A fuller statement of the requrements for admsson wll be found n the catalogue, whch wll be sent, wthout charge, on applcaton. Graduates of colleges conferrng degrees, who have the necessary qualfcatons for enterng the thrd-year class n any of the regular courses of the nsttute, wll be so admtted, provsonally, on the presentaton of ther dplomas, and wll be gven opportunty to make up all defcences n professonal subjects. The feature of nstructon whch has been most largely developed n the school s laboratory tranng, shop-work, and feld-practce, to supplement, to llustrate, and to emphasze the nstructon of the rectaton and lecture room. Surveyng nstruments are provded for feld-work n cvl and topographcal engneerng. Extensve shops have been ftted up for the use of both hand and machne tools, and a laboratory of steam engneerng has been establshed as a part of the nstructon n mechancal engneerng. Several steam-bolers and steam-engnes of varous types are avalable for experments and tests, as well as a large amount of specal apparatus for measurng power, for gaugng the flow of water, for tests of beltng, etc. The laboratory of appled mechancs contans two testng machnes, - one for ascertanng transverse strength, the other for tenson and compresson,--besdes apparatus for tme-tests on tmber, for tests of mortars and cements, for tests of shaftng, etc. The department of mnng engneerng and metallurgy has the use of laboratores n whch the mllng and smeltng of lead, copper, slver, and other ores, n economc quanttes, are regularly performed by the students themselves. The classes n archtecture supplement the work of the drawng and desgnng rooms by the examnaton of structures completed or n course of erecton, and by practcal experment n the laboratory of appled mechancs, testng the strength of materals and workng out problems n constructon. The Kdder Chemcal Laboratores consst of a laboratory for general chemstry (288 places); a laboratory for analytcal chemstry (o8 places), together wth a specal room for volumetrc analyss (20 places) and a balance-room wth 22 balances; a laboratory for organc chemstry (30 places); a laboratory for santary chemstry (6 places); a laboratory for ndustral chemstry (:6 places); two convenent lecture-rooms; and a well-suppled lbrary and readng-room. The laboratores are thoroughly equpped for the purposes of ordnary nstructon, and they also, possess excellent facltes for the promoton of orgnal research. The Rogers Laboratory of Physcs, the frst laboratory n whch nstructon was systematcally gven to classes by means of elementary physcal measurements coltducted by the students themselves, s well provded wth the needful facltes for laboratory nstructon n both elementary and, advanced techncal physcs, especally n the dfferent branches of electrcal engneerng. On the successful completon of any one of the four-year courses of the nsttute, the degree of "1Bachelor of Scence" wll be conferred. The degrees of "Master of Scence," "Ph.D.," and "Doctor of Scence" are open to persons pursung advanced studes and conductng orgnal researches. Specal students are allowed to enter specal dvsons of any of the courses, on gvng evdence that they are prepared to pursue wth advantage the studes selected. The fee for tuton s $2oox a year. Besdes ths, $25 or $30 are needed for books and nstruments. no separate laboratory fees; only payment for artcles broken s requred. For nformaton, address JAS. P. MUNROE, Secretary. There are

When you get through wth your rectatons go and jump, vault, kck, or what not for half an hour or so, and get some exercse. t wll wake you up for your studes, and gve you a strong, healthy body. Wth the stffness out of your lmbs and brans, you can learn quckly and easly, and your teachers wll be proud of your profcency; you may fnd that you can jump or vault better than the other fellow, and your Class and the nsttute wll be proud of you for t. The majorty of colleges are now far behnd us n athletc records, but let us rank Tech. among the frst! -, t.-l.l ~ HE tme for the Wnter Meetng of the Athletc Club s drawng near, and our men of muscle are turnng ther Qt ~thoughts from the football feld to the gymnasum. Technology has farly good records n all of the usually contested events, but a " good" or a " very good" would be much more acceptable to the Athletc faculty of the nsttute. Every man who has ever done anythng n gymnasum sports, or any man who thnks he could learn, should go n and try for a place. There wll be the usual rvalry to see whch Class takes the largest number of events, and both the Sophomores.and Freshmen are hard at work tryng to-turn out the best tug-of-war team; '89 wll also probably enter a four, and we hope to see '90 o do the HE football season has come and gone, the Thanksgvng recess s past, and the majorty of the Senor Class have settled down to ther thess work. A larger part than we at frst realze of the college year s already gone. Soon the Senor edtors of THE TECH wll wthdraw from the nsttute, and the paper wll be n the hands of the remanng members of the board. A glance at the head of the frst column of ths department, wll show any one what a slender staff there wll be to support next year's TECH. The reason for the present dmnutve sze of the above board s apparent to any one acquanted wth the runnng of our affars. t s smply ths, -there s no competton for the poston of edtor. Ths s a reteraton, but t s no less a fact. The present board s too 311Mll to accomplsh, wth any degree of ease or comfort, the work ncdent to the publcaton of ths journal. We desre a more complete board, and we desret now, not after the semes, or just before the close of the year. The men

8 - 72 who step forward now and do good work, wll receve twce as much consderaton as those who wat untl "the heat and burden of the day s past," and the ease of eventde s upon US. 7t4 E are pleased to prnt n another column an artcle relatng to the Tech. colors. The necessty for the change s much strengthened by readng an edtoral n the W. P.., the journal of the Worcester Polytechnc nsttute, n whch the wrter deplores the fact that both M.. T. and W. P.. have the same college colors. Worcester, he clams, selected the colors frst, and therefore t would be only far for ther " frends n Boston" to make a change. At the recent football game wth Worcester nether delegaton seemed partcularly anxous to show ther colors, for fear of beng mstaken for the other. Now, ths state of affars s of course all wrong, and therefore why not change ether to the gray alone or to some other good color or colors? Of course there s much to be sad on the other sde. We have won many vctores and celebrated many good tmes wth an abundance of the chosen colors about us, and we do not wsh to lghtly throw them over. There are at present many "mascot" flags n the nsttute, whose owners fully beleve that a defeat cannot come to Tech. wth ther rbbons at the contest. These ndvduals would deem t most unfortunate to make any change, and of course no change can be made unless the majorty of the students thnk t advsable. THF, TECH nvtes dscusson on the subject; let us hear from you DUCH complant has come to our ears lately of the wretched ventlaton (?) of rooms n the Rogers buldng. We do not wvsh to growl, but why should not the Rogers buldng, wth ts crowded class-rooms, receve some share of the personal attenton to heatng T11M - rrc 11-C 72 'H TC and ventlaton so lavshly bestowed on the new buldng. The drect system of heatng n some of the rectaton-rooms causes much dscomfort to those nearest as well as to those farthest from the cols, whle the lmted means of ventlaton are totally nadequate to the needs of the number of students so largely ncreased snce the buldng was desgned. Wnter s approachng, wth the necessty of closed wndows; somethng should be done, and we merely ask that some means be sought to remedy the evl. T mght seem remarkable that the short cheer whch was proposed by Mr. Krkham, '87, has sprung nto favor n such a short tme, and s now as much our representatve nsttute yell as the old and long M.. T. cheer. t was a thng that we needed much. n the old days, when the Tech. dd but lttle n athletcs, and a cheer was gven but a comparatvely few tmes a year, t mattered but slghtly as to ts character; whle now, wth our ever-ncreasng work n the gymnasum and the feld, we are expected to yell, and do yell enough to know the great advantages of a short cheer. What would our throats be after a football game, for nstance after the last Wllams game, f we gave the long yell? Nnety-two, however, has yet to learn wsdom n ths drecton, and would be well advsed to drop that " Rackety-whack" of hers. Besdes there beng several college cres much lke hers, and beng too long, the metre, f the word may be used n ths connecton, s all wrong. Drop out the "go-whack" n the second lne and you have a symmetrcal cheer; leave t n and t sounds unfnshed, the two parts not jonng smoothly. The other yell that they use s, however, rather good. twas, "Tech. rah! rah! Tech. boom! bah! M.. T. '92, ha! ha!" t s sharp and short, and '92 could adopt t to her advantage.

9 (jhe queston of publshng an "Alumn" TECH seems to be creatng a good deal of dscusson among our graduates. What future TECH boards may do n ths matter we are not prepared to say. As for us, although we fully realze what a beneft such a publcaton as that outlned n a recent contrbuton would be to all men prevously connected wth the nsttute, we at the same tme do not consder the duty of producng such a publcaton ncumbent upon us. The "Technque" very nearly occupes the feld proposed for the "6 Alumn" TECH, and our annual would serously object to any such enterprse. Moreover, the present TECH board s already overworked, and does not feel equal to embarkng upon any new undertakng. f the " Technque" s not what the alumn want, the edtors of that publcaton would undoubtedly be wllng to so change t as to meet the requrements of the graduates, or perhaps, f need be, publsh an entrely dfferent magazne for ther"beneft. We shall be glad to publsh any further communcaton bearng upon ths subject. jhe large crowd that accompaned the team to Hoboken dd honor to the Tech., and the sprt whch prompted ther gong cannot be too hghly commended. Nothng s more nsprtng or encouragng to a representatve than the hearty cheers of hs consttuents, and no one who was present at the game can doubt the effcency of the vstng spectators' nfluence n the result of the contest. The howlng of the natve mob speaks for tself, and needs no comment from us further than to urge the necessty of gentlemanly demonstratons on our part toward vstng teams, and when tempted to do the opposte, remark, " Remember Bohoken." E are n recept of one of the neatest and at the same tme soldly worthy crculars that we have seen for a long tme. THPE TcECH ' The edtors of the Archtectural Revzew may well be proud of the unversal commendaton of ther publcaton, voced n the strong letters from the best representatve archtects of Amerca, whch they reproduce n ths crcular. Were there no other nducement offered by the Revew, ths unalloyed prase of the paper by those havng the best nterests of our embryo archtects at heart, should be enough to flood the edtors wth subscrptons. A Bad Break. We were seated n the hammock; t was sometme after dark; And the slences grewv longer After each subdued remark. Wth her head upon my shoulder, And my arms about her close. Soon whspered, growng bolder, "Do you love me, darlng Rose?" 'Were her accents low, to equal All my heart had dared to hope? Ah! never knew the sequel, For her brother cut the rope! Sam. AMUEL HARRS walked thoughtfully up the street to the house where dwelt Mstress Dorothy Andrews, to whom for the last year he had been, f not formally betrothed, at least the understandng n the two famles was that they were soon to be so. t was n the year 776, and Samuel was now thnkng of the events of the last few months, the battles of Lexngton and Concord, and other exctng ncdents of greater or smaller mportance. The door stood open and Sam entered, the wrnkles vanshng from hs forehead as he crossed the threshold. The hall was dark, but he knew where he was, and turnng to the left he entered the parlor. But at the door he stopped, as f petrfed by the sght that met hs eyes. There on the sofa, enfolded n each others arms n the frst rapture of requted love, sat Dorothy and-wllam Dale. They started at hs exclamaton, and sprang to ther feet. The two young men stood confrontng each

10 74 THE.TECHo. other, Samuel n hs quet Purtan costume, Dale n the unform of a Brtsh leutenant. Samuel struggled to control hmself, but Dale broke out angrly,- " What means ths ntruson, sr?" The answer came slowly, through almost closed lps, " have always been free of ths house, sr, the house of my-" He stopped, but Dale caught hm up as f he had fnshed hs sentence. " t s false!" he cred; "you never were betrothed." Sam's anger was fast losng control; hs hands clenched, hs eyes flashed, hs brow contracted; n another moment he would have struck hs rval had not Dorothy nterposed. Pushng between them, she lad her hand on Sam's arm, and at her touch hs anger vanshed. The ferce words on hs lps ded, and he bent hs face to hers. Dorothy," he half whspered, "tell me, do you love hm?" Her head fell, her cheeks flushed, but her lps moved, and he caught the word, hardly artculated, "Yes." He drew a quck breath, almost a gasp, then he took her hand, rased t to hs lps, dropped t, and turned to go. Dale sprang forward to ntercept hm. "Harrs! forgve me for the part have taken!" Sam looked hm proudly n the face, brushed asde hs extended hand, and passed hm by. The street door closed behnd hm, and hs rapd step sounded down the walk. Next mornng Samuel lay on the sde of the embankment on Breeds Hll, and looked over the top to where, down below, troops were landng and formng. Besde hm, most of them reclnng on the breastwork lke hmself, were the Amercans, dsposed as became ther mood; some, not mndng those around them, were deep n thought; some were nervously and exctedly talkng wth the old veterans of the ndan Wars; some were coolly watchng the dsembarkaton below. Lke these last, Sam's eyes were fxed on the dstant troops, but hs thoughts were away wth Dorothy and the scene of yesterday evenng. All the btterness of yesterday's dsappontment had not yet gone, though he had done hs best to conquer t. Hs feelngs aganst them had gradually turned to one of anger at hmself -hs blndness and hs presumpton n ever hopng to wn her. What a fool he had been to thnk of tyng Dorothy to hmself, when, wth her beauty and brllancy, she mght look much hgher. Well, she had chosen; he was not the man to come between her and her happness. He had seen last nght as hs blnded eyes had never seen before, and he knew that she was bound up n Dale, and he resolved that f they met n the comng conflct Dale should go unharmed. " f fall," he sad, '" my brothers wll take my place; but he s an only son, and-dorothy loves hm." The frng from the shps suddenly ceased; the Brtsh were advancng to the assault. Awakened from hs revere Sam looked at the prmng of hs gun, and then watched the long lne of redcoats as they came slowly up the hll. You all know the story of the fght; there s no need of repeatng t here; but at the end, as the Brtsh swarmed over the redoubt, Sam found hmself cut off from the rest, wth only one way of escape. He fred hs last bullet at a tall grenader, braned another who tred to stop hm, leaped the breastwork, and ran down the hll. An Englsh offcer followed, bent on hs capture. At the foot of the hll Sam stumbled and fell, and as he reganed hs feet hs pursuer shouted to hm to stop. Sam turned, surprsed. The offcer stopped wthn sx feet of hm, hs sword extended, pontng at Sam's breast. Surrender, or fght? Sam chose the latter, and stoopng, ran n under hs enemy's guard, and caught hm round the wast. The Englshman dropped hs sword and caught Sam's throat, but as Sam threw hm hs grp broke, and ths tme he clasped hs arms around the Amercan's body. v f

11 THE TECH. 75 There they struggled, rollng n the soft green grass, whle at the top of the hll, though out of sght, the solders stll streamed over the embankment n pursut of the Amercans. Over the hll and the shps n the rver floated a soft whte cloud, slowly drftng away n the breeze; powder was sent now, whle steel dd ts deadly work. The struggle was a short one. Sam, fghtng for lfe, got hs antagonst beneath hm, and held hm down wth a grasp on hs throat. But suddenly each, Amercan and Englshman, recognzed the other, and Sam knew, n the face below hm, the countenance of Wllam Dale. Wth a hoarse cry he tghtened hs grasp, tll Dale's eyes seemed almost startng from hs head. Then hs hold loosened, tghtened agan, and then relaxed, and he rose to hs feet. n that moment, when he knew that he had hs rval n hs power, he had felt a voce wthn hm callng hm to kll, to sweep Dale away; who would have known? But to kll n cold blood the man whom he knew well, who had been so frendly to hm, above all whom Dorothy loved,- ths would have been murder. Pantng stll from hs terrble nward struggle he faced Dale as he rose. Nether spoke, but Sam held out hs hand. n the glance that the two men exchanged as ther hands met, all anmosty was set asde. Sam wrung Dale's hand n slence; he tred to speak, but could not fnd words, and droppng hs hand he turned and strode away. Dale watched hm out of sght. Does ths Cach-ou?

Mss Way. (CONCLUDED.) V. AFTER ths conversaton the two frends sad very lttle to each other about Mss Way. Day after day passed, and the season at Homer's was drawng near ts close. The young lady behaved wth admrable dscreton, keepng always on the best of terms wth her followers, wthout bestowng any dstnctve favors on ether. Some of the earlest maples were already begnnng to glow on the frnges of the woods, when a rany week set n, and the whole party at Homer's were oblged to amuse themselves ndoors as they could. The restrant and the lack of exercse told vsbly on the sprts of the young gentlemen; and when the sun came out a lttle whle before settng on a Saturday evenng, they were very glad to follow the other people of the hotel out of doors to enjoy the fresh ar. Laurens caught sght of Mss Way and her aunt settng off down the road, and strolled out n the same drecton, expectng to overtake them at no great dstance. Turnng the frst corner, he met them faced about. He had an mpulse to turn back wth them, but he ressted t, for that would be confessng that he came out wholly to jon her; so he lfted hs hat and passed on, ragng nwardly. He walked hs two mles and returned alone. On the porch were Thornbury and Mss Way, sttng on the steps. As he came up, he heard Mss Way say, " What a fne vew of the sunset there must be from the knoll." "Shall we try t?" sad Thornbury. " haven't any shawl." He found one, and wrappng t about her, helped her down the slope and over the lttle brook to the long hllsde, at whose 'top the round rock called the knoll cropped out. " How romantc they look! " sad Mr. Benbury, drectng Laurens' attenton to the two fgures sde by sde, just touched by the western lght. )

12 76 7T-E. TECH. c"very," sad Arthur; but he dd not overflow wth apprecaton. They sat there for what seemed to Laurens an unreasonably long tme. Mss Jane came out and expressed a mld fear that Fanne mght be gettng cold; but stll they sat there. Fnally Laurens went ndoors for a few mnutes, and when he came out, they were approachng the house. There was the usual mld banter as they came up, whch was receved laughngly by Mss Way and wth good-natured dgnty by her companon. The two resumed ther seats at the end of the porch, and Laurens, gong n among the last of the boarders, left them there talkng n low tones, broken now and then by Mss Way's sweet, subdued laugh. That nght Laurens slept but lttle. Sometmes he would upbrad hmself for beng so troubled by the caprces of a thoughtless grl; then, n no calmer mood, he would realze that he was desperately n love wth her, and had been so all along, n spte of hs efforts to persuade hmself out of t. As he tossed about, watng for the lght to come and quet hs weary. bran, he resolved to face the uncertanty, and not prolong hs suspense another day. He watched for Mss Way's appearance after breakfast, but somehow mssed her gong out, and dd not see her tll noon, when she came n, followed by Thornbury, carryng her shawl and a bundle of statonery. She looked tred, and complaned of the heat. t was evenng when Laurens at last found an opportunty to carry out hs purpose. Mss Way was standng alone n the doorway, lookng out on the hlls, about whose tops the mst was begnnng to gather. At hs nvtaton to walk, she looked up quckly wth a questonng glance, but dd not refuse. They went slowly down the road, the conversaton flaggng after the frst few mnutes. "Mss Way," sad he, after a pause, " shall probably leave wthn a day or two." " We shall mss you very much," she sad smply. "You don't speak for yourself." "Oh, you'll never know how much mss you;" she sad, wth a touch of her brght, banterng manner. " Mss Way," sad he, wth a quet delberateness whch surprsed hmself, " wsh to tell you that love you. f the nformaton gves you pleasure of any knd, 'm glad of t. f had any hope of your returnng t, would say that f you would be my wfe, could gve you many thngs that mght make you happy. don't say much for myself, but, such as am, would devote myself to you." He looked at her ntently; her head was bent, and her face was troubled, but dd not soften. "f you don't care for me, you have at least the satsfacton of makng a conquest. You are welcome to t." "Mr. Laurens," sad she, turnng from hm ndgnantly wth wet eyes, " don't know what have done to make you talk to me as you do to-nght." "What have you done?" he sad passonately. " Why, nothng. What do women ever do for whch they can be called to account? have loved you all along aganst hope, and n spte of myself. But do love you!" " cannot let you go on," she sad wth much dgnty. "You know nothng of my crcumstances. " " don't care for your crcumstances. t's you want." "But there are crcumstances whch make t mpossble for me to lsten to you." "You are already engaged?" She made no denal. "s t Thornbury? thnk have some lttle clam to know." She shook her head wth just a curl of her lp. A flash of lght came to Laurens' mnd. "t can't be that you are engaged to that student, Snggns?" Her color deepened, and she bent her' head. r m a

13 ,1~ "Well," sad he, "you have played your part well. But let me beg you, for your own sake, don't do t too often. Be satsfed wth my humlaton." She was weepng slently, and he had enough feelng for her to try to sheld her from the curous eyes at the house. "' dd not mean to speak so harshly," he sad soothngly. "t ' was only a moment's btterness. You must control yourself before we go back." The dusk favored her as she went n and up to her room. Wth the passng of her lght footfall, a strange feelng of romantc self-pty came over hm, but he lt a cgar, and smoked wth unexpected tranqulty. He looked n on Thornbury on hs way to hs own room. "'ve decded to go home to-morrow, old fellow," he sad. "So have." "What for?" "Reason enough. had a lttle talk wth the charmer ths mornng. We ddn't get very serous, but she was knd enough to straghten me out before had gone far. But don't see why you are gong. She admtted to me that she preferred you." "Preferences don't count. had a lttle talk wth her to-nght, and found out that she s engaged to Snggns." Thornbury dropped an art. -l of thngs he was carryng to hs trunk, and. bsded upon the edge of the bed, a vctm to su -rse. " Well," sad he reflectvely, "t strkes me that we have been sold. Wouldn't the fellows at the club lke to get hold of ths?" Laurens wshed hm a good-nght, and left hm to recover from the shock alone. V. "The fellows at the club" generally thought that Laurens and Thornbury must have had a dull tme at Homer's. There seemed to be nothng for them to prase but the fshng. Between the frends, very lttle menton was made of ther summer experences. Thorn- F Fl, c 1-1. H [ 77 F bury seemed to have been lghtly touched; he was gay as ever at all the partes that fall. But Laurens dd not get over t so easly. He neglected many nvtatons, and t was only from the conscentous weght of an oblgaton to socety that he went when he dd. He attended most of Mrs. Wngate's receptons, and she made a pont of brngng nterestng people to hm, but she shook her head over hs ndfference. One evenng she came and carred hm away from a poltcal dscusson n her lbrary. "Who s t? " he asked. "A young lady. No," she sad, laughng at hs pretence of drawng back, "you shall not escape." They went through the long drawng-rooms to the conservatory, Mrs. Wngate explanng that t was a relatve of hers, a Boston grl, who had but lately completed her educaton. As they stepped out among the flowers, a slght fgure n a group of young people turned toward them. Laurens felt a queer lghtness n hs head-the quck stoppng of the pulse whch comes even to a strong man wth ntense surprse. t was Mss Way. Her color only deepened a lttle as Mrs. Wngate presented hm, and she began to talk easly on some trval topc. The sound of musc from the parlor called ther companons away, and he stood lookng at her as f she were an lluson, whose enjoyment must be sezed now or never. " wsh," sad he, " before we go any further n dscussng the opera, n whch haven't the remotest nterest, you would tell me who you are." She laughed, and looked up wth her old wnnng coquetry. "Only a smple Boston grl." "But thought you lved n North Chanton, or some such place." " lved n Sozutz Chanton-you must have been nterested n me not to remember north from south-a whole long month wth dear, harmless Aunt Jane. a good country belle? 77 Don't you thnk made was so tred of horne

"Well, whom were you engaged to?" " wasn't engaged to anybody. never heard such mpertnence! As soon as you are ntroduced to Mss Way, of Boston, you ask her whom she s engaged to." He looked at her wth a new hope n hs eyes, but could not gather hs thoughts to say a word. " You were so ntent on gvng the poor country grl a chance to refuse you, that you took everythng for granted; that's all." "What an mmeasurably stupd-" he began; but she, seeng hs growng exctement, and catchng sght, too, of Mrs. Wngate comng to look for her, sad, wth a twnkle of fun: "What a nce story that would make, wouldn't t?

TO THE EDTORS OF THE TECH : Although greatly opposed to changes as a general rule, stll thnk there s one change whch would be of beneft to our-nsttuton; that change s n regard to our college colors. There are very few of the leadng colleges n the country that do not have some one shade for ther unversty color. Harvard has crmson, Yale has blue, orange s everywhere recognzed as Prnceton's color, green as Dartmouth's, and even the far damsels of Smth College appear, n general assembles, clad n ther college color-whte. Now why should Tech. not have some one color? s not our Alma lmater a leadng college? Let some one color be taken whch can be unted wth other colors to form combnatons enough to sut the most fastdous taste. One great object of the sngle color s that the dfferent classes can. combne t wth other shades to form ther class colors, and thus there wll be some conformty,-a vrtue whch at present s conspcuous by ts absence. There are many colors at our dsposal, though the best ones have naturally been taken already. One color, gray, whch has been a Tech. favorte, stll remans. Gray can be unted wth dfferent shades to form some of the fnest of combnatons, such as crmson and gray, the present Tech. colors, and blue and gray, the colors of 'g o. The dea of ths change n the college colors was strengthened at the Tech.-Wllams football game last Wednesday, when a Tech. fellow asked the wrter why the cheerng was led by a youth wth 'go's colors. He seemed greatly surprsed to learn that they were the college colors. Another nstance: at our last mass meetng a freshman arose and asked the charman what the Tech. colors were. Now, hs queston was not due to any extra amount of greenness, but rather to the fact that the great varety of colors of the classes, and the lack of conformty to the nsttute colors, had become mxed up n hs mnd wth mathematcs and chemstry. f the Tech. had had one sngle color, and f ths color had appeared n each of the class combnatons, that Freshman would not have made hmself so conspcuous.

Notceable Artcles. " 'go." BY far the most noteworthy paper n the Englsh magaznes for November s that n the Nneleentl Century enttled, ; " The Sacrfce of Educaton to Examnaton"; and a very remarkable paper, or rather seres of papers, t s. t conssts frst of a vgorously wrtten protest aganst the compettve examnaton system whch has become almost the sole workng-power of Englsh schools and colleges, from the hghest to the lowest,-a protest sgned by three hundred and forty-seven names, all of whch are prnted, and among whch may be found some of the most emnent men of letters and men of scence n the kngdom: Lord Armstrong, Professor Bryce, Professor Blacke, Oscar Brownng, Canon Creghton, Professor Boyd Dawkns, Professor Fowler, Professor Freeman, the venerable Dr. James Martneau, Prof. Max MUller, Professor Nettleshp, Francs Newman, Professor Pollock, Professor Rhys, Professor Sayce, E. B. Tylor, Professor Westcott, Dr. Crchton-Brown, Sr Morell Mackenze, Sr Henry Thompson, Sr Edwn Arnold, Rev. Stopford Brooke, J. A. Froude, Sr Charles Hall6, Judge Thomas Hughes, W. R. S. Ralston, Mrs. Lynn Lynton, Mrs. Thackeray Rtche, Mss Elzabeth Sewell, Mss Charlotte Yonge, Sr Arthur Sullvan, Aubrey De Vere, Professor Gardner, Sr Wllam Grove, the Bshop of Wnchester, and Sr Moner-Wllams. Anyone at all acquanted wth the thought of England as represented by her lvng scholars,-men of scence, professonal men, and artsts,-can estmate the character of the long array of names from whch such a shorter lst can be culled. Ths protest s followed by three pungent artcles on the subject by Prof. Max!MUller, the -famous Sanskrt Professor of Oxford, Prof. E. A. Freeman, her learned Professor of Modern Hstory, and Frederc Harrson, one of the very ablest of ~Englsh lterary men. l A more scathng ndctment of a false system could not well have been drawn up than s contaned n these documents. "We, the undersgned," begns the frst, "wsh to record our strong protest aganst the dangerous mental pressure and msdrecton of energes and ams whch are to be found n nearly all parts of our present Educatonal System. Alke n publc elementary schools, n schools of all grades and for all classes, and at the unverstes, the same dangers are too often showng themselves under dfferent forms. Chldren... are treated by a publc department, by managers and schoolmasters, as sutable nstruments for earnng Government money; young boys of the mddle and rcher classes are often traned for scholarshps wth as lttle regard for the future as two-year-old horses are traned for races; and young men of real capablty at the unverstes are led to beleve that the man purpose of educaton s to enable them to wn some great money prze, or take some dstngushed place n an examnaton." The document then goes on to detal the mschevous results of the system: the njury to health; the perverson of educaton and the loss out of sght of ts true ams, and the evl effect on the mnds of all subjected to t,-" the temporary strengthenng of the rote facultes to the neglect of the ratonal facultes ; the rapd forgetfulness of knowledge acqured; the cultvaton of a quck superfcalty and power of skmmng a subject; the consequent ncapacty for undertakng orgnal work; the desre to appear to know rather than to know; the formng of judgment on great matters when judgment should come later; the conventonal treatment of a subject and loss of spontanety; the dependence upon hghly sklled gudance [of professonal 'crammers']; the belef n artfces and formulated answers; the beatng out of small quanttes of gold leaf to cover great expanses; the dffuson of energes over many subjects for the sake of marks; and the mental dsnclnaton that supervenes to undertake work whch s not of a dstnctvely remuneratve character after the exctement and stran of the race." The strength of ths tremendous ndctment cannot be apprecated wthout the perusal of the whole. Max Mller says: "' From what have seen at Oxford and elsewhere, all real joy n study seems to me to have been destroyed by the examnatons as now conducted. Young men magne that all ther work has but one object-to enable them to pass the examnatons... England s losng ts ntellectual

16 so80 THEM athletes who were a head and shoulders taller than the rest, and used to be looked up to as born leaders of men." These are weghty words comng from such a source. n what style that most learned of Englsh hstorans treats the subject, those can judge who are acquanted wth the trenchant and vgorous manner n whch that pugnacous gentleman s wont to go nto a fght; and Frederc Harrson,who speaks from an experence n teachng and examnng of more than thrty years, says: " Lfe s becomng one long scramble of prze-wnnng and pot-huntng, and examnaton, stereotyped nto a trades s havng the same effect on educaton that the bettng system has on every healthy sport." The subject s not a new one, though no such ndctment as ths has ever before been drawn aganst the system. A good many years ago we made a collecton of the utterances of emnent men respectng t; one of the most scathng was that of Professor Huxley. And the German Dr. Wese, vstng England ten years ago, thought England had then gone examnaton-mad. n a very captal address gven n 874, as Lord Rector of the Unversty of Aberdeen, and enttled "Unverstes Actual and deal," Professor Huxley returns to the subject: " Examnaton," he says, " lke fre, s a good servant, but a bad master. by no means stand alone n ths opnon. Experenced frends of mne do not hestate to say that students whose career they watch appear to them to become deterorated by the constant effort to pass ths or that examnaton, just as we hear of men's brans becomng affected by the daly necessty of catchng a tran. They work to pass, not to know, and outraged scence takes her revenge. They do pass, and they don't know." Of course there can be no queston as to the value of examnatons n ther proper place, and used for a legtmate purpose. No good teachng can go on wthout them. The London Sfecta/or draws the dstncton very well when t says: "There s no sort of genune educaton whch ought not to be supplemented frequently by test examnatons, and by the crtcsms of the teachers on the fashon of the answers gven. But to prepare yourself wth the object of remedyng your own defcences, and to prepare yourself wth the object of beatng your fellow-students, are very dfferent thngs; and we qute admt that for students, as students, and scholars, as scholars, the compettve system usually does more harm than good." w.

23 The Tech Extra. FOOT'BALL SUPPLEAME:NT. Wlla-ls TWtewasLed! TECH. TOUCHDOWNS. The Stevens-Dartmouth game, resultng n a score of thrty to nothng n favor of Stevens, had lent a pecular nterest to the Tech- Wllams game; for should Wllams wn she would te Dartmouth for frst place, and should Tech. beat she would te Dartmouth for frst place, provded she should beat Stevens the Saturday followng. Therefore, at about half past one the crowd began to arrve, and from that hour untl the close of the frst half the tcket sellers had ther hands full n supplyng admsson. The appearance of the Wllams eleven rather dscouraged the well-wshers of Tech., and caused the Harvard medcs, present n large numbers, to smle and to wager. TECH. 22; WLLASl o. -Contagous Cheerng Characterzes 'a ',Each Pretty Play. 'r The rrumnphant Team Taken by the Tratsported Throng and Carred Conquerors ffromn the Campus. 6{ SATURDAY seems to be the day par excellence for football. t s therefore only the most absolute necessty that wll allow the managers of a team to have any game, especally one of a champonshp seres, scheduled for any other day of the week. Saturday afternoon every one s free, and the student seeks relaxaton fronm hs studes n amusement; and f a game of football s gong on he s sure to be present. Other week-days studaa es frequently press hard, and many cannot attend. The fates had, however, decreed that we should play Wllams Wednesday, and so all was got ready, and a suffcently large assembly to pay expenses hoped for. The game was advertsed to be called at 3 P- M. Presently the'jtech. eleven appeared, wearng large coats over ther sweaters. Some ffteen mnutes were passed n lmberng up before the game, n passng the ball to and fro, and runnng. Soon the cry of "Off the feld" was heard, and the" coppers" pushed all back of the lne, except the two elevens, the referee, and the reporters.

24 2 2THE. T'1ECH. Game was called at fve mnutes past three. Wllams won the toss and took the ball, Tech. takng the east sde of the feld. Wllams started wth short rushes, thereby ganng some ten yards; but here ther progress was stayed, three downs forcng them to kck to Germer, who made a very pretty rush; Godchaux passed the- ball back to hm on the lne up, and he repeated t. Duane then dd the same. Wllams was rather startled at Germer's wonderful runnng and dodgng abltes, so Durand caught hm by the ankles the next tme he ran. Ths was a foul tackle, and gave Tech. fve yards, Germer makng FFTEEN YARDS MORE on the lne up. Two more rushes by Duane, a rush and crawl by Germer, carred the leather well nto Wllams' terrtory, where four downs gave them the ball. The ball was snapped back to Kmball, who made one of the prettest runs of the game for Wllams. Three downs forced Vermyle to kck to Germer, who made a far catch and a pretty run on the lne up. Duane then took the ball under hs left arm and RAN TWENTY YARDS, then fve, and then ffteen, whch brought t to Wllams' 5-yard lne, where t went to them on four downs. They could gan no ground by rushng, however, so Standfeld kcked to Durfee, who made a short rush. On the lne up Godchaux attempted to run wth the ball, and the referee gave t therefore to Wllams. Durand started out well for a pretty run, but he and Perce met, somehow, and-well, he stopped, and Tech. got the ball on four downs. Godchaux made a bad pass and lost some ground, whch good rushes by Duane, Durfee, and Germer soon reganed, Tech. gettng fve yards more for Durand's foul tackle of Germer. Duane kcked to Standfeld on three downs, but Wllams mmedately lost the ball on a fumble. Godchaux passed t back to Durfee, who rushed sx yards, and crawled and pushed fve more, amd the applauds of the assembly. Duane here ran around the end of Wllams' lne, and stopped only at Wllams' 5-yard lne, where he was thrown, when outsde, by Standfeld, hs head strkng a rock. For a tme he was unconscous; he, however, came to just before the tme lmt, and made another pretty run, whch was very prettly stopped by Rowland. Wllams got the ball on four downs, and after ganng some ground kcked to Germer, who ran HALF THE LENGTH OF THE FELD wth t before he was stopped. Durfee then dstngushed hmself by another phenomenal rush and crawl. Ths brought the lne of acton to wthn twelve yards of Wllam's goallne; another rush, head down, by Duane,! CARRED THE BALL OVER THE LNE, amd cheers, yells, and the most unprecedented demonstratons of joy. Ths took place at exactly twenty-seven mnutes past three. t was some tme before the feld could be cleared of the exultant Techs suffcently to allow of an attempt to kck a goal, whch, however, faled, leavng the score four to nothng. Wllams lned up at the 25-yard lne, and falng to gan any ground kcked to Germer, who, by fast runnng and phenomenal dodgng, brought t back to the place from whch t was kcked, where t was lost on a fumble. Standfeld agan kcked to Germer, who made a far catch. Durfee made a fne run, Duane the same, who, on beng tackled, passed to Godchaux, who ganed ten yards. Tme was called, wth the ball n the centre of the feld.

25 t THEM The second half Tech. took the ball and faced the other way. Wllams put on three new men, and started n wth a determnaton to wn. DUANE S SUPERB RUSH opened the second half; another of the same knd, followed, and then Perce dd lkewse, brngng the ball well nto Wllams' terrtory. The ball was then passed to Roberts, who beng tackled passed to Duane, who made a short rush, was downed, and passed to Durfee. He chose the rght man, for Durfee's crawlng rush wll never be forgotten by those who saw t. He made fully TEN YARDS ON HS HANDS AND KNEES, t takng three Wllams men to stop hm. The welkn was rngng wth cheers, the names of Roberts, Duane and Durfee beng coupled. wth the "Rah! rah! rah!" of Technology. Another rush by Durfee, and another by Duane, 'carred the object of contenton over the lne at four o'clock, Duane kckng a goal. The elevens now lned up at the centre, Wllams havng the ball; Standfeld kcked, however, on three downs, and Germer got t. Godchaux made a pretty pass to Duane. Duane was tackled and passed to Dame, who made one of the prettest runs ever seen on the Unon Grounds, gong nearly TWVO THRDS THE LENGTH OF THE FELD, r TECH. and carefully depostng the ball behnd Wllam's goal-posts. At seven mnutes past four Duane kcked the goal. On the lne up, Wllams' rushers seemed to have lost all ther snap, and kcked to Durfee on three downs, havng receded rather than advanced, by three rushes. Tech. got through ther lne wth the most perfect ease, and gave the half-back no tme to run before they were down. Durfee made a far catch of Standfeld's kck, and ran twenty yards before he was downed. Duane dd the same, and kcked on three downs. Wllams' backs fumbled the kck. Perce got t, and ran nearly to Wllams' goal lne. Duane carred t over at seventeen mnutes past four. Duane kcked the goal. Wllams kcked mmedately to Durfee on the lne up, and our full-back outdd hmself, for he RAN NEARLY THE ENTRE LENGTH OF THE FELD, dodgng marvelously untl stopped and heavly thrown by Standfeld. Durfee was so severely shaken up by hs fall upon the cy ground that he was retred, and Stearns put n hs place. Perce ran twenty-fve yards, and Duane kcked on three downs. Tech. both reganed and lost the ball on fumbles, and Germer closed the game n the same brllant manner n whch he had played throughout, makng A RUN OF FFTY YARDS and a touchdown, whch was not allowed, as t was clamed he ran out of bounds. Tme was soon after called, wth Tech. n possesson of the ball at Wllams' 25-yard lne, the score standng, Tech. 22; Wllams o. t would be mpossble to gve anyone not present an dea of the enthusasm manfested throughout and at the close of the game. Every move, every sgnal of the teams, was watched wth breathless nterest, each brllant play-and there were many such-causng the ar to resound wth cheer upon cheer. When tme was called, the members of the team 3

26 4 THEF were shouldered by ther own especal admrers and carred from the feld of battle. The best work for Tech. was done by Duane, Germer, Durfe-e, Dame, Godchaux, Perce, Wllard, Rce, Hamlton, Hghlands, and Roberts. For Wllams, by Standfeld, Vermyle, Hotchkss and Kmball. The two teams lned up as follows: Tech. -rushers, Wllard, Perce, Roberts, Rce, Hghlands, Hamlton, Dame; quarter-back, Godchaux; half-backs, Duane (captan), Germer; fullback, Durfee. Wllams-rushers, Campbell, Ruc, Hotchkss, Longwell, Johnston, Rowland, Lovell; quarter-back, Kmball (captan); half-backs, Vermyle, Durand; full-back, Standfeld. Mr. Kelley, of the Harvard Medcal School, offcated as referee to the satsfacton of all. TE CHo F ter-back, DeHart; half-backs, Hernandez, Strong; full-back, G. Mason. The game was called promptly at ten o'clock, and opened wth short, sharp plays, and a beautful rush by Duane. On a fumble the ball went to Stevens, and a long punt by G. Mason brought the ball well back nto our terrtory. Effectve short rushes by Germer and Duane, and a punt by the latter, brought the ball to the centre of the feld. Wllard's fne tacklng prevented any gan by Stevens, and Tech. gettng the leather on a fumble, Duane made a long kck, well returned by G. Mason; no gan. Both sdes occuped themselves wth a merry Stevl(ls Squeled! Tech. Tacklng and Stevens Sluggng gve us the gane. TECH. 14; STEVENS, 2. JLast Year's "Kckers,, agan ]Punshed.

Enthusasm ran hgh, and cheer after cheer urged our men on to vctory. The make-up of the teams was as follows :-- Tech-rushers, Wllard, Tracy, Roberts, Rce, Hghlands, Hamlton, Dame; quarterback, Godchaux; half-backs, Duane (captan), Perce; full-back, Germer.

Whle t was yet n our terrtory Germer's and Hamlton's short rushes, and the latter's pass to Duane for another rush, advanced us about twenty-fve yards toward Stevens' goal. Germer lost two yards, thrd down. A fumble gave the ball to Stevens, but t was quckly reganed by Duane on DeHart's fumble. No advance. Duane's kck was caught outsde. G. Mason's punt was mssed by Stearns, and Loud, by a fne run, made Tech.'s sprts fall, only stoppng at

27 THEB TECH. E Dame's persuasve tackle wthn fve yards of our goal lne. Stevens' quarter-back rushed the ball over the lne, so no touchdown was allowed. Duane kcked out to Hernandez; Godchaux tackled; DeHart and Hernandez slghtly advanced the ball by hard work, but Germer and Godchaux prevented the necessary gan, and the ball went to Tech. on four downs. On Germer's falure to get round the ends, and no gan or loss, Duane kcked to Mason on thrd down. By Mason's return ten yards was ganed. Ths was repeated almost exactly on next thrd down, but on Stearn's falure for far catch, W. Mason captured the ball and rushed t over the lne for frst touchdown at o.45. The try for goal was successful, and the score stood: Stevens, 6; Tech., o. Tech. took a brace, and played wth more snap. Duane covered twenty yards by fne rushng, and steady advances were made by Germer, Duane, and Perce untl the ball was kcked from Duane's hands and captured by S.tevens. The ball soon returned to Tech. on fumble, and hard rushng pushed the fght UP TO STEVENS TEN-YARD LNE. Four downs gave the ball to Stevens, and G. Mason kcked to Stearns, who was downed; one half the feld lost. By the offensve and uncalled-for K-y-y's of the Hoboken spectators durng our quarter-back's sgnalng, and by much monkey busness and fumblng, the ball remaned for some tme n centre of the feld. Wllard was hurt, and lad off; Kales took hs place. Mason's kck was fumbled outsde by Duane, at Tech.'s 25-yard lne, but good tacklng and blockng prevented Stevens followng up her gan. Four downs gave Tech. the ball, but tme was called after one down, fve yards ganed. Score: Stevens, 6; Tech., o. The second half opened by a 2o-yard rush by Stevens' fat boy; but fumblng and poor re- turn of Duane's punt by Mason, wth Duane's fne rushng, wped ths out, brngng us to Stevens' 35-yard lne. Good blockng prevented ether sde from ganng, and after eght downs Germer and Godchaux pushed ahead wthn three yards of Stevens' goal lne, and DUANE RUSHED THE BALL OVER AT for a touchdown. The try for goal faled. Score, 6-4. After slght gans by Germer, Duane, and Perce, Germer made a brllant run up the feld, whch the. referee dd not allow, holdng that he ran outsde. Stevens ball on fumble, and ther quarter-back, wth the ad of the V, advanced to the centre of the feld. Referee Kelley here saw ft to prevent further dsfgurement of our team by W. Mason by dsqualfyng the latter. Macey took hs place. Mason kcked and Duane returned, Kales followng t up wth a brllant tackle. A pass ahead gave us the ball, and " KCKNG" BECAME GENERAL. Steady advances by Hamlton, Duane, Godchaux, and Germer brought the ball to Stevens' 25-yard lne. Try for goal from the feld faled, and both teams lned up at twenty-fve yards. Germer caught the kck-off and made a good run, backed by Dame and Duane, and at.55 the latter RUSHED THE BALL OVER for another touchdown, amd tremendous exctement. No goal; score, 8-6.

28 THE' On Stevens' thrd down Mason kcked to Stearns, and Godchaux SQURMED THROUGH THE RUSHLNE9 and by a plucky run, asssted by Roberts' good blockng, scored another touchdown. Try for goal beng successful, the score stood 4-6 n Tech.'s favor. Four downs and fumbled punts by Stevens gave us the ball several tmes, but no decded advantage was ganed. Strong team work- and a kck-over kept the play n Hoboken terrtory. A pretty run by Germer was not allowed. Sharp work prevented Mason's kckng and Hernandez' rushng from ganng much advantage. Two punts and one return ganed Tech. ffteen yards, and on next return Godchaux made a bold sprnt, but was captured wthout gan. Four downs, and Macey got through our rushlne and ran half the length of the feld for a touchdown. Try for goal succeeded, and the score stood: Stevens, 2; Tech., 14. Germer and Godchaux advanced the ball about ten yards, when tme was called, and one of the closest games of the season was ended. The features of the game were DeHart's omnpresence, the rushng of Hernandez and Duane, the tacklng of Hamlton, Godchaux, and Dame, and the sprntng of Germer. THE OTHER FELLOW. l- r TECH. 5HE League Conventon wll be held n Sprngfeld, on the frst Frday n December, and Tech.'s chances for the champonshp wll then be defntely settled. The Stevens game has been protested, and s therefore stll n doubt, though nobody who wtnessed our game there, doubts that we outplayed Stevens and won the game on ts merts. The gentlemen of the land of beer, however, have always been unable to acknowledge themselves beaten, especally when the score s close. Ths dffculty showed tself very planly n the Dartmouth-Stevens game of a year ago. t s not probable that Stevens wll be able to wn a game by talk that she lost on the feld; and therefore the outcome of the matter wll probably be that Tech. and Dartmouth wll each be credted wth three games won to one lost. Whether or not the te game wll have to be played off s also a queston to be settled by the conventon; but n any case we may very reasonably expect to hang a new banner n Rogers corrdor ths wnter. THE TECH clams the champonshp for the nsttute, and we have never prophesed wrongly! N a recent number of THE TECH we publshed, after much thought and consderaton, a careful crtcsm of the team and ts tactcs of playng, and we thnk that the advce there gven was n some measure nstrumental n brngng about the present pleasng state of affars. We only wsh now that the abovementoned edtoral had appeared one ssue before. As there mentoned, Dartmouth beat us smply through ther beef. t We have, undoubtedly, the quckest and mo6st agle team n the league, and t s because we have depended almost entrely upon that aglty that we have won. We should have lked to have beaten Dartmouth, as we undoubtedly could and can, and.had a clean score of vctores; but we wll not cry over splt mlk.
