T seems that the Freshmen are exceedngly slow n Class organzaton ths year, and there has been t r very lttle practce work done by ther eleven. Ths s sure to make a dfference n ther game wth 902. The number of men who have reported for practce on the Sophomore team s also surprsngly small. Every 902 man who has ever played footfall ought to put on hs football clothes and enter nto the practce, by dong so to help develop a team worthy of the class. The Class football game and the Cane Rush take place on the seventeenth of ths month, and the tme left for practce and HE tme s rapdly approachng when the Class of 903 wll be called upon to take up ts share n the varous nterests n our college lfe. n vew of ths, a word of counsel, not to the Class as a whole, but to ts ndvdual members, may not be out of place. n every Class there s a certan number of men who delberately narrow down ther college lfe to the lmts of the rectaton room. Ths s unfortunate, but t s so. They do not do ther share towards.contrbutng to the lttle socal lfe whch we have at the nsttute. But there wll be others who wll come to the front and upon whom leadershp n Class and nsttute affars wll rest. Besdes these wll be found those men who are always ready to gve ther support to those who are workng to develop the lghter, careless sde of student lfe. Between these last two classes, there s no sharp dvdng lne. Especally s ths true n the Freshman year. ndvdual ntatve, perseverance, and tact make one man more promnent than another. Let a man show any of these qualtes and he wll fnd the upper classmen only too glad to help hm to make ths club, or that team, hs college paper, or whatever else he s tryng for. Recognton of ablty comes quckly. f a man s not

8 38 T- M T:ECHa hopeless " grnd," there s nothng at Technology beyond hs reach. A man just enterng college fals to apprecate ths. As a result, he wastes much tme before he realzes that the varous calls for canddates for the muscal clubs, the Class teams, and the lke are meant for hs ear as well as for hs classmates. They are appeals to each man to do some lttle for the credt of Technology. And now a word n regard to THE TECH. None are more welcome on the Board of Edtors than men from the Freshman Class. Any one who can wrte verse, stores, or any of the paragraphs that go to make up THE TECH are asked to try for the staff. Moreover, t should he remarked that whle there are many men who can wrte, t s only those who do wrte who succeed. Copy should be left at THE TECH Offce, Mondays, before 9 A. M. Let each man do somethng each week for the college paper, and he wll soon fnd he has not worked n van. 71 HERE was a curous and nterestng dsplay of barbarsm on Solders' Feld last Saturday, the date beng that of the football game between Harvard and Carlsle. t mght not be thought strange that somethng of ths nature should be dsplayed, when one remembers that many of the men of the Carlsle eleven are but one generaton removed from savages, nomadc n manner of lfe, and utterly uncvlzed n manner of warfare. Contrasted wth the sons of generatons of men of the hghest culture a long-cvlzed naton can gve, t mght naturally enough be expected that certan thngs n the conduct of the sons of Aborgnes mght be qualfed, farly enough by a captous crtc, as a dsplay of latent barbarc feelngs. As such, they would not have been suffcently curous or nterestng to have aroused any especal comment from the college neghbors of the contestants. But when the dsplay of barbarsm happens to come from the sons of gentlemen, and not the sons of Aborgnes, the stuaton shows elements of the unque. t s to be supposed that the ndan students have a certan senstveness on the subject of the savage ancestry that les so closely behnd them. t s to be supposed that they share, n common wth men of all degrees of cvlzaton, that respect for ther fathers that demands respectful treatment of those fathers, from all who would be ther frends. These thngs beng granted, the probable feelngs of the vstng eleven of Carlsle School may be magned when, n the ten-mnute rest between the halves of the game, there pranced on to the football feld three fgures, n burlesque ndan attre, ndans of Comc Opera, wth bed-qult blankets and pasteboard tomahawks, who proceeded to execute a vaudevlle wardance wth comedy yells. And the men whose ancestry was thus publcly held up to rdcule by the college whose guests they were, and on whose ground they stood, looked on n stoc slence. t was a curous and suggestve study of the manners of cvlzaton versus those of savagery. t s no excuse to say, as was doubtless the fact, that the burlesquers of ther guests were men pushed to ths atrocous abuse of the smplest laws of hosptalty by the commands of some socety to whch they were seekng admsson. Such an exhbton, under the crcumstances, makng t a gross affront to the men who were the college's guests, was a dsplay of rudeness happly wth few parallels n college hstory. Freshman: "Where on earth dd you get that class yell? t's the greatest ever heard n my lfe." Sophomore " got two bg dogs to fghtng n my room the other nght, and then set a phonograph gong." r 4' Oa 0 m :

9 - TME.4 TCE 39 Ratonal Gymnastcs. WM. SKARSTROM. Gymnastcs may be broadly defned as the practce of formal bodly movements for the purpose of mprovng the ndvdual, consdered as a member of cvlzed socety. n order to accomplsh ths purpose, the movements should be well defned, as regards ther bodly mechansm, and chosen and arranged wth reference to the bodly functons. Only n so far as they tend to physcal mprovement,. e., to the perfecton of the body as an nstrument of the mnd, are they of any value. Gymnastcs n ths sense are a part of educaton n general, and of physcal educaton n partcular. Other conceptons of gymnastcs t s not the purpose of ths lmted artcle to dscuss. What are then the partcular drectons n whch ths physcal mprovement s to manfest tself? Or n other words: What are the specal ams and objects we wsh to attan by a practce of gymnastc exercses? t s my purpose to try to answer ths queston, and also to descrbe brefly the methods by whch those ends are most quckly and effectvely ganed.. The fyrenc Element. The condtons under whch most of us lve are not, to put t mldly, calculated to produce an deal, but rather a defcent or even faulty physcal development of the average ndvdual. n our complex and somewhat artfcal lfe, especally n the ctes, our purely physcal actvty forms but a small proporton of our total actvty. Ths means dmnshed work (and that under unfavorable condtons) for the great vtal organs of the body wth a consequent falure of those organs, and the functons they perform, to attan ther greatest possble effcency and power, and often leadng to ther mparment. Here, then, gymnastcs have a place and furnsh a means for the accomplshment of a purely hygenc purpose, namely, muscular exercse. On ths the healthy actvty of nearly all the organs of the body depends n a large measure Especally s ths the case wth the organs concerned n the crculaton of blood and lymph, the respraton, the dgeston and excreton of waste products. 2. The Car-rectve Ftcto;. The causes whch lead to mperfect development and mpared effcency of the physologcal functons also tend to dmnsh the chances for normal development of the muscular and bony systems, too often wth the result of producng faulty postons and abnormal relatons of the parts of the body, and lmted moblty n the jonts. Such faulty anatomcal relaton of parts may be due to weak and untraned muscles, or to the lack of balance between antagonstc groups of strong, healthy muscles, or, fnally, to the nablty of the ndvdual to form a mental concept of correct poston. All ths s especally true of the poston and carrage of the head, chest, shoulders and back. Gymnastcs may be made a very effectve means to remedy these defects. By favorng a normal and harmonous development of the muscles, by obtanng and mantanng the full, legtmate amount of moton n the jonts, they tend to correct already faulty postures or to prevent them from beng acqured. 3. Co-ordnaton. Another fact whch we are oblged to recognze s the lack of general bodly control n the average ndvdual. Ths s due to an mperfect tranng of what s called the muscular sense, and shows tself n nablty to assume a gven poston or to execute a gven movement, even when there s no anatomcal hndrance. Ths s often the case wth the smplest movements, and usually s accompaned by a tendency to employ a greater number of muscles and jonts than are needed. One sees a famlar example of ths n the shamblng gat and awkward movements of the untraned, over-grown boy, ncreased by hs self-conscousness. Ratonal gymnastcs should am to gve a more perfect control, especally n the smaller movements, such as occur n daly lfe, and the sum total of whch make up what we call the "physcal presence" of an ndvdual. These, then, are three of the most mportant ams of gymnastcs. Let us now dscuss the prncples whch should govern the selecton and arrangement of gymnastc exercses and ther applcaton n practcal class nstructon. As a form of bodly exercse, practced for hygenc purposes, gymnastc work s partcularly valuable, because t can be done at tmes and under condtons when no other form of exercse s possble. t s capable of beng modfed and adapted to the needs of the strongest as well as the weakest. t requres only a comparatvely small amount of tme and s not dependant on apparatus, although wth ths t

10 40 THE TlCO- may be made more effectve and also more nterestng. n a word gymnastcs supply n a measure that muscular actvty wthout whch the body wll not thrve and of whch our condtons of lfe so largely deprve us. To be as effectve as possble n ths respect the gymnastc lesson should be so arranged that there shall not be any too sudden and volent demands on the organs of crculaton and respraton, but rather so as to produce a gradual ncrease n ther actvty, untl they are workng as hard as they can wthout dscomfort or danger of stran. Ths s effected by begnnng wth the easer and more localzed movements and workng up through movements of ncreasng ntensty and dffculty untl towards the end of the lesson, when the hardest as well as the most dsturbed muscular work should be done. The maxmum of effort or endurance should not be reached, however. Ths should be reserved for emergences. Havng reached ths clmax, a few moments are gven whch are especally adapted to ad the crculaton and to favor deep and full respratons. Wth such an arrangement the muscles also work under the most favorable condtons, the rate of the crculaton beng constantly proportonate to ther actvty and ther blood supply therefore abundant. n ths way also, fatgue s retarded and soreness afterwards avoded or dmnshed. There s also a great exhlaraton whch after a whle tones down to a feelng of satsfacton and well beng. Ths s greatly enhanced by a cold bath soon after exercse. (To be concluded.)

TRE frst game wth Tufts was played on October 25, and resulted n a walk-over for the College Hll men. Tufts also has been recevng pretty hard treatment at the hands of other college teams ths year and t was expected that a close game would result. The Tufts team, however, appeared to have taken a brace and scored as they pleased, although they dd not put up very fast football. For Tech., Storer played a good game; Maxson dd well except for one mssed tackle and was exceptonally clever n gettng hs kcks off. The Tufts ends reached hm almost as soon as the ball, but he evaded them neatly and not a punt was blocked. The three center men dd good work. Tufts worked the ends for all sorts of games wth Flagg and Burrows carryng the ball. The only lne play they used was to send one tackle through the other. Kempton dd excellent work and was good for from three to eght yards at every try. Raby at full back slugged at every opportunty and was fnally put out of the game for drty playng. Burrows played a star game n 2nd half. Tech. kcked off to Tufts' 15 yard lne. Tufts used Flagg and Kempton for 25 yards and fumbled. Shepard mmedately fumbled and Tufts lost on downs. Maxson kcked to the mddle of the feld and Tufts punted back. Tufts held for downs. Flagg went around left end for 8 yards and a mnute later Perkns went over the lne for a touchdown. Kempton kcked the goal. Tech. kcked off agan and Shepard got the ball on a fumble. Maxson punted to Tufts' 20-yard lne. Tufts worked the tackles and left end for 20 yards and kcked to Tech's 45 yard lne. Tufts held for four downs and then plugged at both tackles and wth a twelve-yard run around each end scored the second touchdown. Kempton agan kcked the goal and a few mnutes after the kckng, tme was called. a ;. s ~s _-_ 1

11 TH- TEO-H 41 Tufts went nto the second half wth the determnaton to run up a score. Yates kcked off to Maxson on the 20-yard lne. Fumbles by both sdes and a fumble of a punt by Maxson found the ball n Tech.'s hands at the centre of the feld. Maxson here punted and the ball was fumbled and rolled toward Burrows on the 20-yard lne. Burrows dd not handle the ball cleanly and Chubb got down to hm n plenty of tme to drop hm, but for some unknown reason Chubb dd not lay a hand on hm, and the Tufts' man made a beautful dodgng run through the whole team for o80 yards to a touchdown. t was a sensatonal run, but there was no reason why he should ever have started. Kempton kcked the goal. A few mnutes after the next kck-off Burrows made another clever run around rght end for another touchdown. No goal. The last touchdown was made on tackle plays for 25 yards and a left end run for 12 yards and rght end run for 20 yards. Burrows made ths last run, shakng off Maxson, but was caught from behnd by a good tackle by Shepard on the one yard lne. The touchdown was made as tme was called. Kempton kcked the goal.

The feld was wet and slppery but few fumbles occured to mar the game. Worcester scored ndrectly upon Maxson's muffng a punt and allowng one of the Worcester men to fall on the ball. M.. T. held for three downs on ther 2-yard lne but were unable to resst the fnal plunge. M.. T. worked steadly up the feld to Worcester's 4o-yard lne when by a fake end play Shepard went through left tackle and aded by the nterference of Seyms and Maxson crossed the goal lne. Maxson kcked the goal. Agan M.. T. began to near the goal lne and would certanly have scored had not tme been called. The halves, ffteen mnutes, were decdedly too short for M.. T., and the game would have been won by Tech. wth a few more mnutes play. The whole team worked hard and conscentously, Johnson dong well at end n the second half. The ends however, were none too strong or too sure of breakng the nterference. Seyms dd great work n openng holes and ganed whenever he was called upon.

12 42 Oru- r" OCH The Summer School of Archtecture. THE Summer School of Archtecture sent only a small party abroad last summer, but the enthusastc accounts of those who dd go testfy to the success of the expedton. Professor Homer preceded the party, and saled for taly about the end of May. Messrs. C. K. B. Nevn, '96, H. W. Beder, 'oo, and A. F. Buys, 'oo, joned hm n Genoa about the mddle of June. The frst part of the tour conssted of a journey across taly by ral, n the course of whch the party vsted Pava, Mlan, Bresca, Verona, Vcenza and Vence. n Vence they remaned for fve days, revellng n the beautes of ths most pcturesque of ctes and vstng the many buldngs of archtectural nterest n whch ths cty s pecularly rch. From Vence a rapd return across taly agan found the party n Genoa where ther bcycles were awatng them, and from whch cty they started on ther wheelng tour on July st. The route followed led them along the Medterranean coast and through the grand scenery of the Rvera. Many small towns of mnor mportance were vsted on ths route. San Remo was the last cty n taly that detaned them. A few days after the start the French fronter was reached, and the party made ts frst stop n France at Mentone. They journeyed on through many places of nterest, chef among whch were Monte Carlo, Cannes, Nce, Toulon and Marselles. From Marselles they turned ther faces northward and began ther tour of the Rhone valley. Ths secton of the country, aboundng n Roman remans, proved of very great nterest, and the many pcturesque, half-dead ctes of ths regon offered great attractons to the students. Arles and Nmes, wth the great Roman arenas and other relcs of ancent days, were the prncpal centres of nterest. Orange, wth ts huge Roman theatre, was the last town of mportance n the valley. The party then rode nto the mountan ds- - trct and reached Le Puy n a few days. From here on, the route was generally northerly, leadng through charmng country full of archtectural treasures, affordng excellent opportunty for the study of the Romanesque work of the Auvergne regon. n Pars the members of the party scattered, and the work of the Summer School came to an end. After havng wheeled eght hundred mles and ralroaded several hundred, the students felt that they had ganed consderable knowledge of the archtecture of France, for, by means of ther wheels, they had been enabled to vst places rarely, f ever, reached by toursts, and had thoroughly seen the country through whch they had been passng. The Frankln Fund. THE long controversy over the use that should be made of the Frankln Fund has at last come to an end by the trustees votng to erect a buldng on the land where the old Frankln School stands, to contan a lbrary, readng rooms, lecture halls, etc. The remander of the money s to be used for the erecton of baths and publc gymnasa. nder the wll of Benjamn Frankln, $Sooo was gven the Cty of Boston, to be placed at nterest for one hundred years, and at the end of that tme, the prncpal and the accumulated nterest was to be spent n objects of general utlty to the nhabtants of Boston. The fund now amounts to $366, n 893, t was voted to erect a trades' school. Nothng further was done, however, untl last wnter, when t was proposed to gve the money to the nsttute of Technology for the buldng and mantanng of a Frankln Museum of Electrcal Scence. A moton to ths effect (see THE TECH, Vol. XV., No. 3) was lost by a vote of eght to seven. Snce then the educatonal objects whch Frankln would have wshed to have been carred out have, apparently, been lost sght of n the btter dscussons that have ensued.

The Walker Club held ts second meetng of the year last Wednesday and elected W. W. Dow manager of the play. The decson as to the object of the proceeds has been ndefntely postponed. There wll be a meetng of the Andover Club Frday, Nov. 3, 899, n Room at o o'clock. All men who have n any way been connected wth Phlps Andover Academy are urged to attend ths meetng, as the electon of offcers and program for the comng school year wll be acted upon. The 52 9 th regular meetng of the Socety of Arts was held at the nsttute on Thursday evenng, October 26. Mr. H. C. Spauldng, '87, read a paper on "Vsual Sgnals," llustrated by stereoptcon. A new day dstance sgnal of Mr. Spauldng's nventon, the "Telegnophone," was seen n operaton and proved of great nterest to those present. On Frday evenng, November 3d, at eght o'clock, there wll be held at the Technology Club the frst "smoke talk" of the season. Mr. Howard A. Carson, '69, wll gve a talk on "Some Thngs Seen by an Engneer Durng an Excurson n Egypt," llustrated by the stereoptcon. t s hoped to contnue the " smoke talks" at ntervals of two weeks throughout the wnter. The followng are the nomnatons for the Senor Class offcers: Presdent, C. M. Leonard; P. R. Zegler; Frst Vce-Presdent, W. A. Dorey: Second Vce-Presdent, F. D. Chase; Secretary, L. L. Cayvan, S. C. Sears; Treasurer, J. H. Batcheller; Drectors, G. E. Russell; nsttute Commttee, R. H. Clary, H. D. Jouett, P. E. True. The electon wll be held on Frday, Nov. 3. At the last meetng of the 9 o Technque Board, held Thursday, Oct. 26, at one o'clock, W. T. Aldrch was elected to the poston of Artstc Edtor. So many applcatons were made. for the offce of Assocate Edtor of Technque that no ballot was decsve. The fnal electon wll be held at the next meetng. Also, a new member s to be elected to fll Mr. Aldrch's place on the Artstc Staff. The fact that the Navy Department has decded to dscontnue ts course n Naval Archtecture puts an end to the possblty that the Class at Annapols would be sent to the nsttute to take the course gven here n Naval Archtecture. At the tme the course at Annapols was gven up the men then n the class were sent to study abroad. When they return the number (40) of constructors allowed n the. S. Navy under the new personnel bll wll be flled out. As the present constructors are all comparatvely young men there wll apparently be no need for more men n ths branch of the servce for some years to come.

14 THE: T M H On Frday, Oct. 27th, after two unsuccessful meetngs, the Freshman Class fnally adopted ther entre consttuton. t was also decded that the nomnatons for the dfferent offces be n by Wednesday, Nov. st, and that the electon would be held n Rogers' Buldng Saturday, Nov. the 4 th; the polls are to be open from 8.30 A.M. untl.r5 P.M. Geo. Wood's resgnaton from temporary captancv of the football team was accepted, and P. R. Parker was elected to fll the vacancy. J. Glson was elected temporary manager of the team. The frst meetng of the Class of 902, tnder ts new offcers, was held on Oct. 27. t was decded that a class assessment of one dollar per man be leved, ths assessment to cover all expenses of the Class Athletc teams n addton to the expenses of the class. t wll be seen from ths that no member of the class, havng pad hs assessment, can be called upon to contrbute to the support of a 902 Class team durng the comng year. Ths new custom should receve the hearty co-operaton of every member of the class. The Cane Rush Commttee were gven power to engage as large a band as they thought expedent. Forty-fve dollars was approprated for the expenses of the Class Football Team, and t was decded to gve the men jerseys ths year nstead of sweaters. Fve dollars was approprated for a gavel to be gven to ex-presdent Lombard. Technology Calendar. Thursday, Nov. 2.- Archtectural Socety Dnner, Meusset's. Thursday, N7ov P.

16 46 TH- E TECH m Verly, Class Secretares are a marvelous people. The Freshmen mtaton s, by vrtue of hs poston, a beng out of ordnary; the Sophomore specmen s unquestonably smgeners; and the Junor offcal merts well the term prodgous; but the Senor, endowed wth the tranng and compounded capabltes of three years of offce, s no less than marvellous - nay, more, even mraculous. Dutes of a pecular nature often fall upon the shoulders of a Senor Secretary; often he fnds hmself confronted wth predcaments, dffugletes, and dlemmas well-ngh nsurmountable; but the Senor Secretary s as a gant before all such pgmy obstacles. n a recent coupt d'tate he has shown hmself to be a man of wonderful resource, of ndomtable orgnalty and ntatve, of nordnate savor fare, and of a superor qualty of the substance scentfcally known as an alloy of copper and znc. By a pecular benevolence on the part of the ndvdual n queston, the nomnatons for the Senor electons were kept open one week longer than the law of the land provdes. Durng ths tme, the above-mentoned dgntary was busly engaged n placng dvers shrewed bets upon the probabltes for the comng nomnatons. At the end of ths perod, he declared the nomnatons closed, accordng to rule, possessed hmself of the countless nomnaton papers left at the cage, and betook hmself to the offce of the class prnter. t s understood that the transportaton of the papers from the cage was effected at an early hour of the mornng, before the Brd was awake, thus accountng for the rather strkng testmony of the cage-tender that he had seen no nomnatons enter nto the case at all. Once at the prnters, the conscentous Secretary began to sort out and classfy the nomnatons. Ths done, he dscovered that the Senor class n ts zeal had almost overlooked the offce of Presdent; but one canddate was mentoned. There was but one thng to do. The type-setter was watng, and the ballot must go to press. As dd brave Aeneas the old Anchses bear, so dd ths Secretary take upon hmself the burdens of a Presdental nomnaton and reluctantly though frmly place hs own name n the coveted space. By another curous concdence, he dscovered, that no name had been presented for the offces of Vce-Presdent, ether Frst or Second thereof, Agan he felt the hgh resolve of self-sacrfce, but refraned, and nstead offered up upon the alter of hs class electon two of hs good supporters. Further nvestgaton brought a thrd shock; no Treasurer was offered n the competton. No tme was to be lost; already the type was clckng n the composng stck. He paused, he thought, he wrote. Another frend slaughtered! Next! 'twas Secretary. Barrng the multtudnous papers bearng hs own name, no canddate had been selected. Another cruel oversght of the patrotc class. He wavered. Already the lnotype graphophone was callng for more copy; but he could not supply t. Should he be-secretary? Or should he - be - Presdent? That was the poser. Van thought! The de was cast, or rather the type was set, and hs name for Presdent was rrevocably fxed. t must be another frend. But no frend could he recall who could undertake the arduous and dplomatc post so soon to be abandoned by hm. n desperaton, he wrote down two names, n hopes that ther unted efforts would prove suffcent. Then exhausted, he gasped, and fell back unconscous. f THE LONGER remembers rghtly, some two years ago ths same martyr fgured herocally n connecton wth hs class electons. At that tme, a unanmous vote of the entre class-at the meetngvouched for the fact that he dd not fall asleep whle guardng the ballot box, that a long lean man dd not come up the wndng star-way, that the ballot was not stuffed n a most unrghteous manner, and that the Australan ballot system wats a stgma upon the class reputaton. The deep confdence then shown by the class fell upon no stony ground; and he who was vndcated by hs class two years ago has now pad back the debt n a tme of need by a reckless sacrfce of self and frends. 'Noble act! THE LONGER feels encouraged. A re-assurng artcle n a Chcago newspaper brngs back hs courage by nformng hm n words of many-pont type that "A Tech man makes a good husband." "Clarssa" s gven as authorty for ths statement, though the reader s left n some doubt whether " Clarssa" s ll a poston to know personally whereof she speaks. A careful canvass of nsttute graduates resdng n Chcago has faled to gve specfc lght on the queston; and though'an abundance of "Clarssas" are to be found, no one of them at present holds the requred poston. There are, however, several who would lke to do so, emphatcally affrmng the accuracy of the newspaper's statement. n spte of the rather overwhelmng character of ths revelaton,- and the not over-conservatve source of the nformaton, THE LONGER s pleased to regard ths news as a bt of consolaton and nspraton. But the vtal queston now s: f a Tech man makes a good husband, what, Oh what does a Tech Co-ed. make? 1 [ l
