7 .(.-A -_---- r-3 rv = M a ll2assachusett sttute of Tech 0ol0gy, BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON. FRANCS A. WALKER, Presdent. 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 steamn-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 conducted 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 " Bachelor 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 dvson~s of any of the courses, on gvng evdence that they are prepared to pursue wth advantage the studes selected. The fee for tuton s $2oo 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 ard

You have won the Sophomore- < Freshman game, and - have furnshed some good men for the Tech. ;team. Your record... = -- - A thus far s one of whch to be proud. n the Wnter Meetng of the Athletc Club the class tug-of-war contests wll take place, and t s your duty to enter a strong and well-traned team. Commence at once, and prepare to wn! The standng of Technology wll one day depend largely upon your dongs, but do not magne from ths nor from your recent vctory that you own the nsttute. There are other men here who have a rght to lve. Beware of a "swelled head!" Nnety-one, you have kept up your record of unversal defeat! Only once snce enterng the nsttute have you won a class vctory; you defeated the Harvard freshmen n tug-ofwar, and you well deserved the prase you receved. Your baseball team also dd well, but you have been twce beaten n football, and were pulled n last year's tug-of-war. Now let us see f you cannot somewhat redeem yourself n the comng Athletc Meetng. Put n as strong a team as you entered n the open games, and come out ahead. HE functons of THE TECH are manfold. t attempts to fulfll satsfactorly the role of amusng, nstructng, and advertsng medum. To let one student know what hs fellow-students are dong, or not dong; and what the Faculty thnk about t; n fact, to look out for the wants of every man n college, s the feld of THE TECH. f a class or socety adopt resolutons worthy of the attenton of others; f a student has found, lost, or wshes to dspose of anythng, -there s a column of ths paper especally set apart for such matter. THE TECH bulletn-board, n Rogers corrdor, s ntended for the use of THE TECH tself; but when ts entre surface, ncludng the glass, s covered wth all sorts of notces, t s of lttle or no use to us. There s a space beneath the glass especally reserved for such advertsements; but we draw the lne at postng anythng whatever upon ths board, except upon the space below the glass. Uj E cannot but commend the enterprse of those who have engaged Cotllon Hall, and offered to the nsttute students a seres of fve dances. The gymnasum has gven such poor satsfacton n past seasons, that t has been decded to dscontnue the Gym Partes.

10 54T The acton, therefore, of the managers of the proposed afternoon partes n Cotllon Hall s partcularly apropos. We would advse all those who are fond of dancng to take advantage of ths occason; and f the management looks carefully after the comfort of ts guests, we feel sure that the partes wll be both enjoyable and successful, and that the custom of thus offerng a wnter seres of dances to the nsttute students wll be contnued n years to come. FTER the Sop_phommQre-Freshman rush, t wll be seen how mprobable t s that the custom of havng a rush after the anhual foot-ball game' befween' the.'.two youngest classes, wll he done away -wth. ' 't may seem, from the moral standpont, a-dangerous thng; but ths could be called --n- queston, snce only once has a man been hurt, and our experence tells us that a rush s smply a general pushng match, where every one satsfes the desre of dong somethng whch the game leaves behnd, wthout serous njury to any one, and whch sweeps away all feelng of dsappontment and chagrn. t s, too, the very best thng to create a strong class feelng, and does a class a world of good n that way, helpng to bnd together ts members, especally those of the enterng class, comng together from all over the country. n the great exctement after the game, sweepng away all former resolutons, the rush was bound to take place, and 9's preconceved attempt not to rush met wth sgnal falure.. Morally, perhaps, the attempt was a good one, but the rush s so natural an outcome on the game, that t must come. No amount of class resolutons wll do away wth t, and so long as we have a Sophomore-Freshman football game, we wll have a rush, whch, as n the present case, must be confned to the ball feld, and not be ntroduced nto the corr_ dors, or upon the steps of the buldngs. THE TEOCH. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - 0UR students should be careful of ther actons when off on a good tme. On electon nght many Tech. men were at the bulletns, and enjoyed themselves wthout beng at all dsagreeable to the rest of the crowd; but from many of these men we have heard complants of some fellows who formed themselves n a body, and walked the sdewalks shoutng " Tech! Tech!" and otherwse behavng n a nosy and dsagreeable manner. t s all very well to enjoy one's self, but a lttle care s necessary, for any dsorderly conduct n publc s sure to lessen, n some degree, the reputaton of the nsttute. We are perfectly wllng that every one should have a good tme, but the feelngs of others should be consdered, or, f t s absolutely necessary that the town should be panted red, let the artsts keep quet the fact that they are from the Tech. T may afford great amusement to the facetous undergraduate to remove the Faculty notces from the bulletn boards and place them n THE TECH box. t s, however, very annoyng to the edtor, and causes hm to lose much tme, whch he can ll afford. Wll not ths funny man desst? f he cannot refran from removng the above notces, he can, we feel sure, place them as acceptably n any other receptacle, say hs pocket, as n THE 'TECH box, whch s reserved exclusvely for our correspondence. HE Tech. wshes to express ts condemnaton of the act of those men who ordered ther unforms for the torch-lght parade, but who, when the tme came, faled to come forward and buy. Almost ncredble as ths may seem, t was done n many cases, for the commttee was left wth forty unforms on ts hands. Luckly, the proft on the steps almost cleared off the defct, and by the help of a S,, l T =

11 T--E TECtD few generous fellows, and of the one or two who came forward and pad for ther unforms, the commttee was enabled to meet ts oblgatons; but ths does not lessen the meanness of the men of whom we have spoken. 7y E note wth pleasure the arrval at the nsttute of the monthly publcaton enttled, " Congress: a Monthly Journal Devoted to the Arts of Cvlzaton." t s publshed by Messrs. Rowan W. Stevens and Harold O. Bnney. Congress contans an artcle upon the Penson Offce, several poems, and readable artcles of prose, and an nterestng edtoral upon the Unted States Navy, and some Hstorcal correspondence. Mr. Bnney's well-known form, though no more seen n the " Halls of Scence," s stll well remembered by hs many frends here, who wsh hm every success n hs new undertakng. l And we wsh to add that n practcng, the men of the rushlne can employ ther tme to better advantage n almost any other lne of football practce than n kckng goals. Let the team bear these remarks n mnd n the games to come, and we feel sure that whether vctorous or otherwse, satsfacton wll preval among the members of the college they represent. Requescat. n September, when we parted, Such lovng glances darted From her eyes so large, and brown, and tender, and so true, And she swore (the fckle mss), And then sealed t wth a kss, To really, truly, wrte to me n a day or two. As November's latest week Wll soon get up and sneak, And the howlng blasts of wnter o'er the country regn, My hopes are well ngh dead, And my heart s turned to lead, "For the letter that he longed for never came." M. GOOD deal of dssatsfacton has been felt and expressed n reference to the work done by the 'Varsty football team of late. And we therefore feel called upon to make a few crtcsms wth a vew to explanng our defeats as well as to mprovement n the future. n team work there s an nexcusable slowness-both n lnng up and n puttng the ball n play. The rushlne s very lght, and to wn we have to depend entrely upon our aglty. t s therefore foolhardy to attempt to break through a lne heaver than our own. There should be more passnglong passng-and runnng around the ends; almost every attempt of ths knd made ths year has been successful. A mstake n gvng or recevng a sgnal s very excusable, but mstakes of ths sort have occurred frequently of late. Then when one man s tackled hs only dea seems to be to hang on to the ball; he never attempts to pass t to another. Mss Way.. GRL serously occuped wth arrangng ferns, now and then holdng off a bunch at arm's length and regardng t wth a crtcal, sdewse glance. Her companon, reclnng aganst a gnarled pne stump, hs hands behnd hs head, watchng her mostly n slence. She was perched upon a huge moss-covered tree-trunk, full four feet through, that had fallen rght across the way, and had heaped her ferns besde her. For a background, as he looked up at her, there were the upper branches of the pnes along the loggng road; the road, cut years ago to an ambtous wdth, had grown up wth young shoots of brch and maple, and thcker tangles of bush and brake, and all the narrow footway was overgrown wth most brllant mosses, runnng vnes of snowberry, and strange, brght-tnted fung. n ths depth of the old pne forest the August mornng was

12 56 5TH THT'ECH.. fresh as May, and the ar so soothng that conversaton slumbered at ntervals. " How good you were to come up the path wth me ths mornng, Mr. Laurens. How dd you know t would be so delghtful here?" " took your word for t." "Dd ask you to come? Why, so dd, to be sure." After a pause: " An odd thng for a young lady to do, wasn't t, Mr. Laurens?" " don't know. t's certanly very pleasant here." " suppose young lades n Boston never do such thngs." "Oh, suppose they do, sometmes," he sad, wth a gracous ar of apology for her nnovaton. She shook her head as one mght to a chld wth an overfondness for fcton. " made up my mnd ths mornng as soon as looked out of my wndow, that would come here and get some ferns. The Mss Ponters couldn't go, so of course had to ask you, f was to go at all. hope you don't thnk should have asked you f they could have gone?" A vson of the Mss Ponters, wth ther well-preserved slk gowns and ther respectable gray curls, n the act of crossng the rver on rollng stones, made Laurens' eyes laugh. " don't flatter myself so much," he sad. "That's well." "What was that book n whch you were so absorbed ths mornng? " she sad, after a lttle slence. " On the pazza, when you were gong to the tenns ground?" 6"Yes. How dd you know was on the tenns ground?" s" saw you there practcng most dlgently, and thought of old Mr. Benbury wth a sgh."' '6 Why ddn't you come down and show me that overhand serve you promsed?" " ddn't suppose you cared for t then." "Cared for t! Of course ddn't. But you haven't told me what the book was." "t was a text-book on trgonometry. promsed a young cousn of mne who s a lttle behndhand at the Tech., that would coach hm a bt for an examnaton." " That's some knd of mathematcs, sn't t? 'm very fond of mathematcs. took an advanced course n arthmetc at our hgh school. Ask me some queston, and see how quckly can answer t." " Very well. f t takes fve mnutes to pull apart three bunches of ferns and put together one, how long wll t take to arrange a basketful?" " What an mpolte queston! f you are tred of watng, we'll go home." 1" dd not say was tred," he sad wth an ar of surprse. 6'll stay here all day, f you wsh t." " You only say that because you know don't wsh t." She had ted up her varous bundles of ferns, and slppng off the hgh mossy log stood ready for the homeward walk, when suddenly fxng her eyes on the stump aganst whch Laurens was leanng, she cred, "0 Mr. Laurens! do get up, quckly!" Laurens jumped to hs feet wth an unpleasant suspcon of snakes. The young lady dropped her ferns on the ground and sad, desparngly, "You've been sttng drectly on some coral lchens. 've been lookng for them all ths summer!" "Oh! s that all?" sad Laurens, wth an ar of relef. "As f that wasn't enough," sad she sadly, gatherng up her fallen ferns. " declare, Mr. Laurens, there's no bearng wth you today; you've no sympathy nor consderaton." She led the way home wth determned steps, answerng Laurens' attempts at conversaton wth very bref and careless rejonders.. That afternoon, Laurens, n takng down hs fshng coat, dropped a letter from the

13 THE TECH. 57 pocket, whch remnded hm that he had not wrtten to hs old frend, Ned Thornbury, snce he had left hm on the steps of the club n Boston. Two days later a letter was brought to Thornbury n the smokng-room at the club, post-marked n clear-cut letters that told of scanty mals, "South Nugent, Mane." MY DEAR NED :- told you when saw you last, that meant to get out of the realm of "culture." have made a bold dash for freedom from everythng whch, as Wngate used to say, makes Boston what t s, and have partally succeeded. dscovered ths place by an ngenous method. got off the tran at the frst staton n the mountan country that struck my eye, and looked about for a good horse. Among the motley throng of quadrupeds about the staton saw two horses, and, better, both n the same team. The drver, -a rosy-faced man of ffty or so, wth hs beard n a sort of halo, s f he had flattened hs face aganst a board and then suddenly cleared the mddle space wth a spoke-shave, -proved on nqury to be none other than 'Homer hmself, - not the blnd, for John s certanly not blnd to hs chances; and after carefully lookng me over, he "cal'lated " that he could let me have a room. "s your place secluded, Mr. Homer" nqured? "t's at the end o' the road, f that'l do ye," was hs assurng reply. And t s, n more senses than one. For a fortnght had the hgh prvlege of beng the only boarder at Homer's Elysan abode. Talk about country fare! How that talor of mne wll chuckle when he re-measures my wast ths fall! Then people began to come, - about the usual assortment. Frst, old Mr. Benbury and hs wfe, a par of polte nvalds, who spend most of ther tme n affectonately rehearsng ther varous alments to each other. The patence wth whch one of those excellent valetudnarans wll lsten to the other's account of a vstaton of Provdence of the most unsavory descrpton, s only explaned by the fervor wth whch the tale s matched by one equally unsavory and strange. t's as good as a play, f only they wouldn't strke up at table. "Do you remember, dear, the dreadful condton of my stomach after eatng rye cakes lke these, when Dr. Sharp sad, -" and so on, and so on. Then there are some people from an nland town n Massachusetts who have set up a lttle arstocracy of ther own, and play ntellectual games of an evenng. One of the lades has long lsts of conundrums and questons for soluton n varous games, and takes notes of every pun that's made, requestng the author of t to repeat t slowly for that purpose. They begn ths odous custom at eght o'clock, at whch perod retre to my room wth an hour of candle. There s also a Tech. student of chemstry; not of the athletc type, who devotes hmself chefly to readng up condtons and takng long walks.. keep by myself mostly. The fshng s far, the shootng moderately good, and the tenns ground captal. mustn't forget to menton our young person, Mss Way-Mss Wayward, t should have been. magne a country belle of eghteen, dark, pefte, restless as a ktten, ndependent and authortatve n her manner as f she were queen of the realm, gnorng etquette whenever she pleases, and that s often, and you get a fant dea of Mss Frances Way. You should see her-but no, don't thnk you would approve of her. She amuses me mmensely. You ought to see her st down by poor Snggns, the Tech. man, and pretend to help hm study. Then she comes to me, and asks n an rresstble, grlsh way f don't thnk t would be a good day for gatherng ferns? She s such a perfect contrast to the "Boston gurl" that fnd her very refreshng.

For some tme after readng ths epstle Mr. Thornbury sat whstlng softly, frownng often to hmself, and twstng hs yellow mustache. Then he read t agan, wth runnng comments. " She amuses hm. Oh yes! No doubt. 'Very refreshng.' Just gong out to walk. ' Her ardent admrer, old Benbury, wll follow her.' 'll bet any odds her ardent admrer young Laurens followed her. How sharply he ends up the letter, though he wasn't half through wth the beautes of Homer's. always thought Arthur would make a fool of hmself n some such way. What an awful thng t would be f he should brng home a pert country grl to the old house. Somethng must be done about t, f have to do t myself." A shade of decson passed over hs face. He rang for a servant to brng hm the ralway gude, after consultng whch he walked brskly away to hs rooms.. On the evenng of the followng day Mss Way's quck eye detected the presence of a stranger n Mr. Homer's wagon as t returned

14 58 THE T1ECH1 from the vllage wth the mal. As the wagon approached, Laurens looked, at frst carelessly, then ntently, and uttered an exclamaton of surprse. "What s t, Mr. Laurens?" asked Mss Way, wth vvd curosty. " Oh, nobody but my old frend Ned Thornbury." "You don't seem very much delghted to see an old frend." "What do you mean?" "0, thought your manner ddn't express great joy. Perhaps was mstaken. For my part, 'm awfully glad to see another gentleman. Anythng for varety," she added flppantly, wth a sde glance upward from under her dark lashes. The meetng was suffcently cordal, and Laurens, after sttng wth hs frend at hs late supper, brought hm out to the porch for a cgar. The club news and varous tems of socety talk formed the bass of ther conversaton, and after agreeng to try ther luck at the fshng the next day, they parted for the nght. t was not tll after ther return from ths expedton that an opportunty arose of presentng Thornbury to Mss Way. That young lady seemed to have assumed a new part, and appeared a very model of maden shyness and reserve. She lstened to Thornbury's conversaton wth slent but charmng attenton, and joned n the amusements of the evenng wth a quet gracefulness wth whch even that fastdous young gentleman could fnd no fault. When the gentlemen were alone, Thornbury took occason to say that he thought Mss Way's forwardness had been panted n much too vvd colors. Laurens dd not make much reply, and the matter dropped. For the frst few days of Thornbury's vst there was certanly lttle cause for actve nterference n hs frend's behalf. Mss Way seemed to devote herself rather to the student than to ether of the Bostonans, apparently rather to Snggns' surprse. She played tenns wth hm, made hm the bearer of bundles, of ferns and brch bark, and employed hs tme wth makng handles for baskets of moss, and cuttng strps of all sorts of thngs for her rustc work, of whch she always had her hands full. One evenng, comng out late from supper, Laurens found hs frend sttng on the steps of the porch talkng poltcs wth Mss Way, who sat on the' steps below at a lttle dstance, and turned her face up toward hm wth the ar of one who s quaffng deep and refreshng draughts of knowledge. She was certanly a captal lstener, only askng a queston now and then, though her questons were sometmes of a radcal nature, such as chldren ask, and requred much theorzng n ther answers. The conversaton lasted tll Laurens called them n to jon n a game of whst, durng whch Thornbury adorned hmself wth hs most polshed drawng-room manner, whch seemed to meet Mss Way's approval to a hgh degree. Laurens dd not play so well as usual, and the rubber went aganst hm and hs partner, to the jublaton of Mss Way, who took Thornbury's arm and walked about the passages, lstenng to hs dscusson of the theory of whst-a game whch she had nformed Laurens a few days before she qute despsed. "Well, what do you thnk of her?" sad Laurens that nght. "Oh, she's really charmng! But qute dfferent from the forward country belle that magned." "There sn't qute so much need of protectng me from her wles as you thought when you planned my rescue, suppose." "Don't be absurd, Arthur. But f you choose to look at t n that way don't know that the danger s any less." " thnk you have assumed the post of honor at present." "? Oh, no. She lstens to my talk, but she has the corners of those eyes of hers on you most of the tme." " Your magnaton s much to generous."

"Well enough. All your socety manners and cty style are a mere lacquer. t would be as good a polsh for her as for any of them.

N the town of Kerny lved a doctor, famous not only for hs charty and kndness to the poor, but also for a remarkable adventure, whch had happened to hm several years ago.

Thus on the afternoon on whch ths story commences the doctor left hs home, after havng promsed hs wfe to be back before seven, although he had to go qute a dstance to see a very sck patent. Seven o'clock came but no doctor appeared. The chldren every now and then ran to the wndow when they heard an approachng footstep. t got to be eght, and Mrs. H -, growng uneasy, sent a messenger to the home of the patent whom the doctor was to have vsted. The messenger returned, but only to state that the doctor after havng vsted the sck one had quckly left, sayng he had promsed hs Nwfe to be home early. The poor wfe was now thoroughly alarmed, and search was made for the mssng one, but no trace was to be found. Thus the nght passed n agony and suspense, and the household mpatently awated the breakng of the new day. When dawn appeared the search was agan renewed. Jerry, the fathful servant of the doctor, appeared wth a letter addressed to Mrs. H and a blood-staned handkerchef, sayng hle had found both lyng before the door. The letter, wrtten n a bold hand, ran as follows: '' Dscontnue all fulrther search, for to you the doctor s dead." These words together wth the bloody handkerchef settled all doubt n the wdow's heart, and she now fully beleved that n some manner her husband had been klled, and hs assassn took these means to acquant her of the fact. The poor fatherless chldren were now to be daly seen clad n mournng, but n ther hearts dwelt a feelng that ther father was stll alve. Let us not lose sght of the hero entrely, but follow hm as he left hs home. As the messenger had stated, he had vsted hs sck patent and set out on the home journey, joyfully thnkng of the home that was awatng hm. Gong along he approached a lonely place, made thus by an entre absence of habtaton; far and wde no house was to be seen, whlst here and there huge rocks were scattered on both sdes of the road. After he had traveled along ths solated spot for a short dstance he felt hmself sezed from the rear by twvo par of strong hands, whlst another par was engagred n placng, a bandage securely around hs eves. -He then felt hm- -self beng helped on horseback, and havng been cautoned not to venture to remove hs bandage, he and hs captors set out, whther he dd not know, for the cloth had been so securely fastened around hs eves as to cut off all further vew. After a seemngly endless journey he was agan asssted, ths tme n dsmountng, and stll havng hs eves covered he was led along by hs captors. Fnally the doctor could perceve by the re-echong of ther footsteps that they had entered nto some cavernous chambers. The bandage was now removed, and after he had accustomed hmself to the darkness of the corrdor, lghted up only by a few blazng pne stcks carred by hs companons, the doctor saw that they had really entered a cavern. After traversng several passages they suddenly entered nto a large hall, n the mdst of whch w-as a huge fre, around whch several men were seated. They notced hs approach wth slence, and one of ther number arsng, led hm to one sde. Ths man, judgng from hs manner of acton and dress, evdently bore some authorty among ther number. "Doctor H," sad he, "the place where you nowv are, and who ts nhabtants are, shall forever reman a secret to you. Gve up all thoughts of escape, for your better judgment mdst tell you that t would be n van. The reason for your presence s as follows: Our chef, a young man, was wounded the other day, how, s no affar of yours; try all n your power to save hm.'" The doctor now asked to be led to hs patent, and beng conducted to another chamber he beheld, stretched upon a bed, a pale young man wth a gun-shot wound n hs breast. Near the bedsde stood a young woman, who upon the doctor's entrance ap-

18 62 6r2H:E TEACH. proached hm, and sad wth tears n her eyes, "Doctor, pray save hm; he s our prde; do not let hm de so young." The doctor, dsregardng her entreates, mmedately went to work to examne the wound, and found that t was but slght, although t had grown worse by long neglect. He dressed t carefully, and assured hs anxous lsteners that wth suffcent care all would be well. They left the chamber, leavng behnd the woman, who was the wfe of the sck one, to act as nurse. Enterng agan the large hall he was told to be seated at the fre, and he was mmedately served wth a wooden plate, by a trm-lookng mad, whlst hs neghbor helped hm to a pece of the venson that was roastng before them. Anxous nqures were mmedately made regardng the wounded person, whch luckly he could answer favorably. Havng fnshed the repast the doctor arose, sayng he must leave, as he was anxously awated at home. But he was now told that he was not to leave the place untl the young cheftan should agan be able to breathe the ar from the top of one of the numerous hllocks. The doctor was now serously alarmed, knowng the anxety of hs wfe and the mpossblty of escape. He asked to wrte, and ths beng granted be wrote a few lnes explanng hs absence, and gave them to the person who had met hm when he entered. The letter was never sent, but another whch so alarmed hs wfe, together wth a handkerchef, whch had been used n washng out the patent's wounds. Thus day after day passed, the patent slowly mprovng, untl fnally the day arrved when for the frst tme the patent could go nto the open ar. The doctor was allowed to accompany hm. When they ganed the open ar, after havng traversed numerous passages, the doctor beheld a hlly country whch he had never seen before. Nowhere was there a house, but everywhere forest. Hs patent wth tears n hs eyes thanked hm for hs recovery, and sad that never agan had he expected to see hs much-beloved hlls. Upon ther return the doctor begged to be allowed to leave, whch, after an nvtaton to stay wth them longer was, fnally granted. The cheftan's wfe, drawng hm asde, drew forth a long purse, offerng t to hm, at the same tme sayng t was but poor pay she could gve hm. The doctor declned t, sayng he had enjoyed hs pecular vst, and begged he mght be permtted to take a few of the eagle feathers hangng on the -walls, as a gft to hs chldren. After a cordal leave-takng, and after recevng the thanks of all for havng saved ther chef, hs eyes were agan blndfolded, and after havng mounted, they agan set out on ther path. They fnally halted; the doctor was told to dsmount and to stand stll untl the nose of hoofs had entrely ded away. Ths he dd, and after a profound slence told hm that hs companons had left he ventured to draw asde hs bandage, and found that he was on the dentcal spot where he had been so suddenly sezed. At frst t seemed to hm he had been dreamng; but t could not be so, for there, ndeed, rested the feathers n hs hand. He now hastened homeward, and when he arrved n front of hs home t was already dark. n the meantme hs wdow, for such she consdered herself, had been wastng away day by day, and t was wth gref that her frends saw her approachng death. They tred to cheer, but t was n van. Her chldren never ceased to hope for ther father's return, and every now and then cred out, "Here he comes," as a footstep seemngly famlar approached. t was never he, and the chldren ceased utterng these remarks, for they saw they paned ther mother. Upon ths nght the eldest chld sat at the wndow thnkng that hs father must return, when suddenly he heard a step approachng. Could t be he? t must be; and wth hs old cry he rushed to the door to fnd hmself clasped n hs father's arms. Joy does not kll; and although the unexpected meetng showed ts effect upon the poor wfe's body, the new pleasure lent strength

Although search was repeatedly made for the hdden retreat t was never found, and t was supposed by all to be the abode of smugglers. Notceable Artcles. N the ATneteenth Century for October, that ntellgent Englsh Government School nspector, Mr. J. G. Ftch, who has been travelng n ths country, gves an account of a very pecular Amercan educatonal nsttuton; an account whch contans much, we fancy, that wll be new to the majorty of Amercan readers. Very few of the many who have heard of Chautauqua are aware to what a sze the organzaton called the Chautauqua Assembly, or Summer School, has grown. "n a gr2en and sheltered valley," says Mr. Ftch, "about nne mles to the south of Lake Ere, and at an elevaton of nearly eght hundred feet above ts surface, les the lttle lake of Chautauqua, a sheet of water larger than Wndermere, but n the eyes of an Amercan a mere pond n comparson wth ts mghty neghbor." On the shores of ths lake, n a plot of ground of one hundred and ffty acres, he found last sumrmer a communty of eght to ten thousand people; and he tells us he was at a loss to know whether t was a camp-meetng, a lterary nsttute, or a pcnc, tll he found t was all three n one. He goes on to descrbe the vast covered amphtheatre holdng sx thousand people, the "rough but excellent wooden model of the Parthenon, called the Hall of Phlosophy," the ''large relef-model n earth of the Holy Land," the "detached rooms set apart for partcular studes, each suppled wth ts own apparatus and wth the books of hghest authorty n ts own department; e. g., for Latn and Greek; for French and German; hstory and poltcal econcnmy; ts schools for Chna pantng, wood-carvng, and decoratve desgn ; ts prntng-press,kndergarten, gymnasum, and other departments, too numerous to menton." All ths he descrbes n a very sympathetc way, and the pleasant crowd he met n attendance on the exercses. And all ths has grown up snce 187, out of a Methodst camp-meetng. But what chefly exctes hs nterest s the " Lterary and Scentfc Readng-Crcle," whch lhas grown Up n connecton wth t. We have no space here for detals, but we learn that above one hundred thousand persons, nearly all of them adults, and scattered over the whole face of our vast country, are now members of ths "crcle." "They nclude workmen, farmers, servants, poneers n the far West, apprentces, clerks, teachers, and mothers of famles." A new department has recently been added, called the College of Lberal Arts, for the pursut of hgher studes, and the servces enlsted of professors from Yale and Johns Hopkns Unversty for the conduct of nstructon by correspondence. "Between seven and eght hundred secluded students who fulfll ts condtons are carryng on regular and somewhat severe courses of readng under ts gudance throughout the year." The whole system s carred on wth a careful avodance of all nterference wth the operatons of regularly establshed colleges, and no college students are admtted. t s safe to say that n no country but Almerca could such an nsttuton have grown up, as t were, out of the ground; and whatever may be sad of the necessary superfcalty of much of ts nstructon, t must be an nstrument of an untold amount of good n a young country lke ours; ndeed, such spontaneous growths never sprng utp except to fll a real want. Mr. Ftch quotes some eloquent words of Dr. Phllps Brooks n an address delvered at Chautauqua whch has been prnted, and ponts out how hnts may be taken from t for the mprovement of the " Unversty Extenson" system by whch Oxford and Cambrdge are endeavorng to enlarge the sphere of ther nfluence at home. The Forum, for November, contans some excellent sense on the subject of Brownng, by that captal wrter, Andrew Lang, n a paper enttled "Esoterc Brownngsm." "The poetry of Brownng," he says, '"has had sngular fortunes. Rejected at frst by the world, hs poems became the possesson of a few frends of romance; then a wder publc was nduced to read them; fnally they fell nto the hands of people, who have over-bult the fary plot of ground wth 'socetes,' and who squabble about texts and meanngs lke scholasts or Bblcal commentators. The last estate of the poems has been worse than the frst. They have been annexed, as t were, by enthusasts, who clearly value them chefly as problems or puzzles to whch they alone profess to hold the key." But poetry, he says, lacks mert just n proporton to

20 64 THED TECHEL ts need of commentators. " The professonal devotees of Mr. Brownng, an rrtatng band, who prase hs poetry chefly because they beleve that they alone understand t (a belef whch gves them a happy sense of beng wondrous wse) prase hm as one who speaks chefly to the ntellect. They hunt through hm for puzzles and problems; they canvass hm for 'thoughts.' t does not seem to occur to them that he lke other poets s a master of romance; that he appeals wth perfect clearness and dstnctness to the heart, the fancy, and even to the ear. f he dd not do ths and do t successfully, wnnngly, wth phrases and fances that haunt the memory, that mngle wth our nmusngs on love and death.and day and nght, Mr. Brownng would be a falure." But lhe does not clam that Mr. Brownng does ths n all hs poetry, and he gves the sound advce to the begnner that he declne the nvtaton of the Brownng socetes "to be led over dry plans seekng sense and fndng none where Prnce Hohenlstel-Schwangau' holds unenved sway, or to be bewldered n ' Red-Cotton-Nght- Cap-Country,' or to be made to jg dolefully to the ffng of ' Ffne at the Far; ' but neglectng all scarecrow scholasts and dsheveled essaysts, male and female," he advses hm to apply hmself to "Dramatc Ly7rcs" and "Men and Women," and see f he cannot fnd poetry n them for hmself,- and ths doctrne he llustrates at some length. "Tme," hle says, ''that sfts poets lke wheat, wll almost certanly treat much that Mr. Brownng has wrtten as tme has treated the dark peces of George Chapman, or the ' Cassandra,' of Lycophron. They wll survve ndeed, but rather because a poet wrote them than because they are poetry." s not ths just about the truth respectng Brownng? Techncs. WV. P. A.

Practcally no one accompaned the team to assst n the cheerng. The ran, durng the game and for the two prevous days, had rendered the ground so slppery that good runnng and dodgng was next to mpossble.. t was a queston of the weght of the rush-lnes, and Dartmouth had here an advantage of a good many hundred pounds. The Dartmouth backs worked up close to the lnes, and added ther weght to those before them n the general push, whch resulted usually n a slde of from two to sx yards. The short rushes of Dartmouth and the dffculty n workng our backs, lost to us the game. The followng s a summary: Dartmouth started off wth the ball at 2.30 P. A., and kcked on three downs. Duane kcked, and Dame got on to t; good rushes by Hamlton and Tracy carred the ball well down the feld, where t was gven to Dartmouth for not touchng the thrd man.

Duane and Tracy also dd some excellent work, Duane kckng to Ells on three downs. Dartmouth, on three downs kcked to Durfee, who ran wth the ball nearly to the place from whch t was kcked.

Nnety-one vs. Nnety-two. THE Sophomore-Freshman game took place on Tuesday, the 3th, and wth the excepton of several delays, was close and exctng from start to fnsh. The game opened wth good rushes by Germer and Cunnngham, who carred the ball to the Freshmen's 25-yard lne. Here, on the thrd down, Germer made a punt, whch Wardner stopped near the goal lne, the Freshmen.

The Worcester boys played a much better game than had been antcpated, and for the frst ffteen mnutes kept ther opponents very busy. Tech. at frst played loosely, but soon braced up and won easly. Germer was hurt early n the second half, and replaced by Stearns; Tracy, Wllard, and Duane dd not play. Worcester started wth the ball but lost t mmedately; Tech., however, ganed but lttle ground, and the ball passed from one sde to the other, tll Godchaux by a pretty rush secured the frst touchdown.

Now that there are nether countrymen nor short pants to pass upon, we must draw the lne on solder caps. Brace up, '92, and get a move on toward a Chrstan hat. Many of the boys are slappng themselves on the back because the money whch they had ntended to bet on the Dartmouth game could not be sent up to Hanover. Qute a lot of football playng has taken place lately, and t seems from the actons of the varous courses, especally n 'go, as f the enthusasm were stll on the ncrease.

Raymond. t has been heard from several quarters that the Tech. men far outdd Harvard n the torchlght processon. Although Harvard turned out a larger number of men, they dd not make so good a showng, owng to the fact that they were bunched together, and dd not keep any knd of a lne. On the other hand, the nsttute men, by keepng better dstances, showed up to a better effect than they otherwse would have done. The Executve Commttee of the Athletc Club met on Frday, at one o'clock, n the readng-room. t was decded to hold the regular ndoor Closed Meetng November 5th, n the Tech. gymnasum.

The tme has been extended to December st. The dea was very prevalent n Harvard before the processon that the Tech. men ntended to rush them. Now why we should want to do so, throwng out the fact that we dd not, s hard to see. The Crz'zsonz tred to explan t by sayng we were jealous n not beng placed so near the head of the processon as the Cambrdge men were. Now, as a matter of fact, we were n the frst dvson, whle Harvard was n the thrd, and consequently the Crmzson's explanaton falls through. The best of feelng prevaled, as r TZOH1 shown by the fact that Harvard returned heartly. our cheers for them when they passed School Street. A lady recently propounded the followng somewhat startlng queston to a Senor: " suppose that now, snce you are nearly through, that you wll soon be able to pass your prelmnares for Harvard." The aforementoned fourth-year man was so astonshed that he was for an nstant at loss for a reply; but he managed to murmur that he was not qute sure, but he thought perhaps he mght possbly pass the exams, and then added that perhaps hs far questoner dd not know t took a Harvard graduate two years to get a degree at the nsttute. She was " paralyzed." Now we dd thnk that our M.. T. was known a lttle better than that, although we often receve letters addressed '; School of Technology," etc., whch makes us very tred.

The theatre-gong element n Tech. seems to be unusually large ths year. Of course Tech. men are always to be seen everywhere n the cty. Ve are not behnd Harvard n that respect. But for the last few weeks, Techs. have seemed especally numerous n the well-known publc places of amusement. " Nacljy," Fautleroy,"" CCora Tanner," and ' Lord Chumley," have seemecl to be the favortes. And n respect to ths theatregong. our men certanly have the advantage of the Harvards. They dlon't und(lertake to run the house whle they are n t, anld there s an absence of that paradng of great coats and mackntoshes up and down the asles, and loud conversaton, so sweet to tle soul of the average crmnsoner. But n proporton to the ncreased thea re-gong, the attendance at other popular resorts has. notceablyl fallen off An evenng at the varous places wll show ths. At Clark's, a Tech. s seldom seen now dlays, and at the Adams t s very lttle clfferent. There lare a few men who regularly (drop n there for a game of bllards or suplper, but the numlbers are greatly dmnshed from those of a year or two ago. Down at Young's one wll occasonally fnd a lttle dner group n the ' small room," but most of the socetes and clubs have left there for the Qjlncy, or Parker's and the Tremont. At the clubs the same fallng off s apparent. The palmy (lays wthen Tech. men made the Cosmos are long past, and do not know a sngle Tech. who goes there now. The club stll flourshes, but t s p)atronzed for the most part by men abotut town. The crowd seems to hlave transferred ts aflectons to the Boheman, whch, however, seems to belong to Harvard by rghlt of numbers.
