FRANK WD, PRNTER, 2 WASHNGTN STREET, BSTN. -THE term of '9-'92, so 'Al(rWnf! 1j,; lb near ts close, marks an mportant epoch n the hsl-v~, : ;~;:,. t o r y of nsttute llh ~ events. The pe- ~,~1: rod n snce September, 89, s truly a bref one, but t has been far from uneventful. n revewng ths departng year, perhaps nothng gves us more cause for mutual congratulaton than the fact that our numbers have reached and passed one thousand. These! fgures mean much; they record the steady approach of our college toward not smply a natonal, but a world-wde reputaton. The n. :e of our famlar old Rogers Buldng wll be carred away nto many a dstant land n the nemores of future men of worth and pro; se, now graduatng, or about to graduate. The most sangune prophet of us all would hestate to place a lmt to the effect upon modern cvlzaton and ts achevements of our nsttuton, say ffty years hence. And f our outlook from the pont of vew of scentfc learnng s such a flatterng one, not less so s the promse whch our socal and athletc records hold out to us. The one obstructon whch has heretofore exsted to our unfcaton n the fullest sense, as a student body, s about to be removed by the erecton of the long-awated dormtory-the frst, let us confdently assure ourselves, of many, whose numbers wll ncrease untl fnally the Tech. student wll fnd hmself as closely dentfed wth hs fellows as at any college n the land. The erecton of the new Archtectural Buldng s the fnal step toward the proper dstrbuton of the dfferent departments. ur growth wll henceforth take place along defnte lnes. To turn to athletcs. Here we certanly have a record to be proud of, wth the excepton of one branch-football. Football wth us has certanly fallen upon evl days, and chefly from lack of proper support from the students at large. t has been the hardest knd of work for a mnorty of true-sprted men to mantan a football team among us. Too many of the rest have lost sght of Technology's once brllant standng n the Eastern League, and prde for the contnuance of that standng has met wth poor encouragement. Exhortaton to brace up and support the team seems useless. We are wellngh reduced to a forlorn hope. n other branches of athletcs success has undsputably been acheved. Track athletcs have brought us honors thck and fast. An artcle n another column devoted exclusvely to ths subject wll make that clear.

2 248 2THE TECH ur class baseball teams are dong better than ever before. The awakenng of wder nterest has been proved by the fact that the Athletc Club s at last out of debt. The most successful tenns tournament ever held here has just been fnshed. Recognzng the approach of the natonal electons, a Republcan Club has been organzed among the students amd great enthusasm. All ths ponts to the broad extenson of Technology's fame. And the last, but let us trust not the least, mark of progress, s the appearance of our college paper as a weekly. t s the support of the students that has enabled the edtors of THE TECH to take ths step, and we hope our supporters wll reap the full beneft of the change. t remans for us to speak a few farewell words to one of the greatest classes that has ever been enrolled beneath the gray and crmson,-the Class - of '92. Technology owes too much to '92 for us to attempt to temze the debt, unnecessary n any case, as her contrbutons to Technology's name and glory stand out clear as day wherever Tech. statstcs embellsh the Book of Fame. We smply ask you all to note the number of '92 men whose names appear among those who have made ther mark among us snce 888. There s no department at the nsttute that wll not feel the loss of '92. The word "Farewell" was never fraught wth deeper meanng than wll emphasze t on ths comng Class Day. Had we only the assurance that future classes would follow n the footsteps of '92, we would have no cause for hopes or fears. Can we say more? Would that we could! "Nnety-two, farewell!" HE step whch the Board of Edtors have taken n makng THE TECH a weekly, thrusts upon them ncreased responsbltes, demands more tme, and calls for a clock-lke system of work, n order that the paper may be ssued promptly, whch must be more or less detrmental to ther other pursuts; and more, t makes the fnancal success of the paper, whch has heretofore been self-supportng, doubtful. THE TECH does not wsh to gve these facts undue promnence or to herofy ts edtors; ths s far from ts wsh or desre, but t does desre, that the step, wth ts responsbltes, should bear wtness, to the deep nterest THE TECH takes n the nsttute, and to ts endeavors to support the students loyally and n a manner most benefcal to them. THE TECH'S polcy wll contnue, as t has always been, honest, frank and unbassed; t desres the crtcsm of ts readers, t wll gladly receve, as heretofore, contrbutons of all knds, and n return ask for nothng more than t has receved durng the past year,-the support of the students and others assocated wth the nsttute. BREF summary of the past year shows t to have been a very satsfactory one. To be sure, we have not, by any means, attaned the hghest success n every undertakng, but at the same tme the year has been characterzed by successful nnovatons and undertakngs. Chronologcally frst, we returned to fnd our gymnasum wth a splendd addton; not what other colleges have, perhaps, but nevertheless hghly satsfactory. The frst open handcap games ever gven by the M.. T. A. C. were held ctober 2st, and certanly n so far as contestants were concerned, proved a success. The closed games and the sparrng and wrestlng meettngs n the "Gym" furnshed some good sport, and the open handcap games n Wnslow's Rnk proved the grandest attanment of the Athletc Club. The outdoor class champonshps on May 4 th closed the season of nsttute athletc games, and produced several broken records.

3 TH E TECH. 249' 4 The football team showed tself full of pluck and grt, developed some strong players, but wth much hard luck and poor support dd not wn the place for whch t hoped. The Sophomores succeeded n capturng both the football and baseball games from the Freshmen, though the Freshmen clamed the "rush." The Senor Dnner on Aprl 20th resulted n a socal trumph, whch ts fnancal falure faled to overshadow. The addton to the Engneerng Buldng, already well under way, s but another sgn of our Faculty's progressveness, and promses no end of comfort next year. Another buldng, not alled as closely to the nsttute as the new archtectural buldng, yet as promsng, s the Tech. Dormtory. Many of the students are lookng forward to ts convenences, wth due apprecaton. n top of all these comes the formaton ot a Republcan Club. A fttng rear guard for the year's events, s '92's Class Day. n regard to t, everythng looks brght and promsng, and bds far to be all that '92's past career leads us to expect of t. Photographc Socety Exhbt. N general excellence, n qualty and quantty, the annual exhbt under the auspces of the enterprsng lttle socety whch represents the photographc nterests of the nsttute, was ths year qute exceptonal, and attracted deserved attenton. Nneteen members and nonmembers of the Socety exhbted wth two hundred and ffty photographs, and ther work was vewed between May 4 th and May th by a large number of students and frends. Ten dplomas were awarded, as follows: H. R. Barton, st for artstc excellence, 2d for general mert; A. G. Farwell, st for general mert, 2d for artstc excellence, 2d for nstantaneous work; E. L.

The meetng was so soon after the Tech. games that our men were unable to do themselves justce. Andrews, '9, was the only one to wn anythng, and that was thrd place n the low hurdle race. F. A. Sargent represented the Suburban Harrers at the Senor Champonshp crosscountry run, held n New York, Aprl oth

6 1 ; 111r-n TETEH Sargent ran well, and helped. materally to do hs share n wnnng the race. The Executve Commttee of the M.. T. A. C. was held Tuesday, May oth, n THE; TECH offce. The class champonshp was awarded to '9, and Crane's record of 20 feet 8.2 nches n the runnng broad jump, and Heywood's of 6 feet 2 nch n the hgh jump, were approved. t was voted that the tmes whch Crane made n the hurdle races could not go as M.. T. records, -as the way the events were started was n volaton of the A. A. U. rules. The B. A. A. games scheduled for May th were postponed untl the next day, owng to ran. nly three Tech men competed, and two of them won przes. The frst event was the half-mle run, and A. B. Payne, Jr., '9, won thrd after a very pretty race. The tme was 2.09, whch s very fast for rvngton val. Lord, '9, was second n the oo, after havng run two dead heats wth Jameson, H. A. A. The utdoor Meetng. HE annual outdoor meetng for the class champonshp was held, under the auspces of the M.. T. A. C., at the Charlesbank Runnng Track on Wednesday afternoon, May 4 th. The tracks had not been formally opened, owng to the tardness of the cty government n appropratng funds for the purpose, so the M.. T. A. C., whch had obtaned permsson for the use of the track, had to pay for rollng the course and fxng the jumpng boxes. As the tme and money for dong ths were necessarly lmted, the track, whch s very fast when n good condton, was consequently rather slow. t was, nevertheless, much better than the rvngton val, and the tme made n most of the events was farly good 1 'r-lllcm The class of '9 had more entres n th t events than any other class, and succeeded t wnnng a suffcent number of ponts to gve them the class champonshp. The total and ndvdual score for the yeas gven below. f these ponts the ndoo: records s '92-29; '9-4; '94-4 and '9-2 whle that of the outdoor compettons s '92-7; '9-42; '94-8; '9-2. t was generall expected that the Senors, Junors and Freshmen would count about equally at the outdoor, but '9 faled to do qute as well as wa: expected. Nnety-three's success s attrbuted to thc splendd support whch was gven by both tht class as a whole,- and the ndvduals whc traned for the meetngs. Such prase canno be gven the Senors, as practcally the wholc of the work was done by Crane and Frenchthese two scorng 28 of '92's 4 ponts a- the last games. SCRE FR CLASS CUP. Team Race.

He won the event by clearng ft. 4 n., and then proceeded to break the Tech. record of ft. ot n. made by hmself at the M.. T. A. C. scratch games n March, '9. Ths he easly dd. The bar was now rased to 6ft. ½n. and Heywood jumped t, wthout even touchng, on hs second tral, thus beatng the nsttute record by two and a quarter nches. As Heywood belongs to the B. A. A. ther record was also broken-the former heght beng ft. - n. Heywood's remarkable success s due to hs new style of jumpng, and as he has but recently acqured t-wednesday's performance was the thrd tme he has tred t-there s every hope that he wll soon clear two or three nches over the sx-foot mark. Hardly less credtable was J. Crane, Jr.'s all-round work. Besdes wnnng the broad jump and breakng the record n t, he also won both hurdle races, and made better tme n them than was ever made before by an nsttute man. Unfortunately, as the start was not made by pstol shot, the tme s to be questoned. Ths s the reason of the Athletc Club's refusng to acknowledge, as records, the tme he made n these two races. As the games were held n the publc gymnasum no admsson was charged, and consequently there was a very far crowd of spectators. The 2o-yard hurdle race was run n one heat, as there were only four compettors. Crane took the flghts beautfully, and beat out Lord by fully two yards. Followng s the summary. 20-YARD HURDLE. 2 J.

As '94 came to the bat n the th, a blue flag wth '9 n yellow letters was seen slowly salng toward the flag pole; when near ts destnaton, a lne was thrown over the ropes and the two Freshmen hastly drew the flag back, to prevent ts fallng nto the hands of the Sophomores below. No sooner had they grasped t agan than the.sophomores appeared on the roof where they were. For want of a better place the Freshmen dropped the flag down the chmney, and the Sophomores, after makng a thorough search of the Freshmen's apparel, nvestgated the chmney, pulled the flag out from below, and carred t on the feld amd the yells of '94. Encouraged by the capture of the flag, 94 made three runs, whle '9 was unable to score, although the bases were left full. n the sxth, Murkland, Jones, Moody and Maxwell scored for '94; '9 could not get a man to frst.

Howland and Horton reached the fnals by wnnng two matches wthout much trouble, beatng Davs and Abbott 6-2, 6-, and Fuller and Foster 6-, 6-2. The second match n the sem-fnals was played off Tuesday, Wadsworth and Wnslow wnnng from Gorham and Towne, 6-, -6, 6-. Ths match brought out some excellent tenns, perhaps the best possble on the courts used. Wadsworth and Wnslow faced Howland and Horton n the fnals on Thursday, May 2th, on the courts of the Longwood Crcket Club. The match was a hard-fought one, but Horton and Howland faled to develop a wnnng game, losng three straght sets. Score, 6-, 6-4, 6-4. There s a vast dfference between such courts as the unfortunate fnancal condton of our Tenns Assocaton permts them to offer us, and the real tenns court; and t s becomng more and more clearly evdent that the future of tenns at Technology depends upon the acquston by us of drt courts. Untl that s done, every tenns season here wll be more or less of an experment. The last has proved a successful one, to be sure, but the next may result n a falure by just as great a margn.

17 THrE TERCH. 26 " SPEAKNG of the year drawng to a close, remnds the Lounger of a game n whch he tred drawng to a straght, and faled to connect. Just why t should do so s of mnor mportance; but whle the ron s n the fre, so to speak, he mght touch lghtly on the subject so famlar to all around hm. Macbeth, although everyone probably sn't aware of t, possessed "true sportng sprt," and one evenng saw seven kngs, and had an experence wth a "Banco" man, the same evenng, who had a hectc "flush." That sounds lke a good story; but the Lounger s becomng dscouraged; for he has notced that whenever he tells somethng whch he thnks out of the ordnary, some one always pulls out a fsh just a lttle larger than the Lounger's. f he wshed, the Lounger could stretch hs magnaton, and the most accomplshed n the art would have but a small chance aganst hm. But the Lounger s nothng f not truthful. He once knew a man who stretched hs magnaton so that he was able to have a new sprng sut made out of t. He was very proud of t, and used to flaunt t n the faces of hs less accomplshed frends. He had a fall, though; for one day a man came along wth a story about seeng a game between '94 and '9, at whch '9 successfully "flew" a flag and kept t out of the hands of '94. The Lounger has no desre for such promnence. He would rather graduate from Tech., and then go somewhere and be asked where Tech. was, what Tech. was, and f he had to work hard at Tech. All these thngs have been asked of the Lounger, and borne herocally; but the last drop of endurance was drawn from the bucket when he was asked f a certan man "was a pupl at the Tech." Antcpatons of summer's respte wth vsons of Cupd's bow and arrows are crowdng n on the Lounger's thoughts. He feels that ndescrbable somethng whch lends lghtheartedness to the weary and gves buoyancy to the oppressed. He s wonderng whether fate has decreed hm to be the "only man" at some enchanted mountan rest, or one of many at the bacchanalan seasde. He s wonderng f he s to be the only, the ever-welcome and much-sought-after man at some mountan nn, or f he shall be one among a slavsh cotere of the shore's belle; shall he be the courted or the courter? Shall hs heart be hardened to the many madens' charms, or shall t be found at hs sleeve? Beseged or beseger? A story, wheren the punshment ftted the crme, has reached the Lounger from behnd "the closed doors." t was years ago, before tenns was allowed n the Gym, that a petton beggng permsson to play the game there was sent n to our fate producers. There was but one n authorty who could judge of the desrablty of grantng the petton. He carred a tenns ball nto the meetng, and when called upon for hs opnon of the matter, carelessly tossed the ball up and down, showng ts harmlessness. "Why," he sad, "t's a harmless thng, and wll scarcely break glass." Whereupon, wth msjudged force, he tossed the ball at the transom. Behold! the ball went through wth a crash. The petton was granted mmedately. TARFF FR REVENUE.
