Old Chrstmas s at t n hand and, althouglh d 1tme may have destroyed some llusons snce our days of fary tales, hs comng s no less welcome. The weather prophet of the nsttute, by layng down the board steps, has announced that wnter s here, and f he s to be reled upon we may have what s commonly known as a "good old-fashoned Chrstmas," brngng wth t good sleghng, skatng, and other agreeable pastmes. All wll certanly enjoy ther vacaton, from the Faculty to the offce boy, from the Lounger to the Freshman theme wrter; and all wll take a rest, wth the excepton only of the Course. grnd and the "Technque" edtor. Each of us can count upon some welcome remnder of frendshp, and some upon a few days at home or n the country. THE TECH shares n the general good fellowshp, and to one and all extends ts heartest good wshes, sncerely hopng that each may fnd n the comng holday the merrest of Chrstmases..f,...

6 02 92 THE TECH. - ther apprecaton of such an honor, than by ndvdually tryng, as he amed, for the best, for excellence n all thngs. E note wth great pleassure the nterest whch ll g : has been aroused by ~~: 1 our former edtoral ~X~lg~ ~ on the need for a gen- * 1 ~ eral engneerng socety, and the communcatons from Mr. Hutchnson and Mr. ~~-._~- ~Strckland outlnng plans for the formaton of such an organzaton. The student papers presented before the several exstng socetes have come to form such a comparatvely small part of ther exercses that t seems probable that the best results would be obtaned by a complete mergng together of these socetes, each of the nterested courses beng represented on the programme commttee of the unted socety. Consderable tme would, of course, be necessary to brng about such a sweepng change; but f the matter s taken up at once there s no reason why the organzaton could not be completed by the begnnng of the next school year. Let each socety frst dscuss the matter. Then, f each s favorable, let delegates be apponted from each to meet and decde upon a plan of organzaton, and draw up aconsttuton to be afterwards ratfed by ther respectve socetes. -Tftw[ r P-C-1 such a matter, we hope that whatever acton the Clubs may take n regard to the affar may be suffcently vgorous to dscourage all such thefts n future, and assure the safety of posters n the corrdor, at least when under lock and key. The drawngs thus exhbted by the varous organzatons afford a pleasant relef to the monotony of bulletns and tabular vews, and would be greatly mssed f, for any reason, they had to be dscontnued. -.. _OME of the students seem to thnk, lke too many of the professors, that athletcs are all well enough "after the studes are over." Ths s unwse, to say the least. The nvgoratng effect of brsk exercse, followed by a cold shower, s nvaluable to many who now make t a daly custom, and would be of the greatest beneft to many others who complan that they are too " fagged" to attack ther work wth proper vgor and nterest. Ths exercse s ndeed separable from "athletcs," commonly so called, but the added nterest of partcpaton n contests of some knd rases the mer- routne of exercses from a drudgery to a pleasure. s the fact, therefore, smply that athletcs are well enough "after the studes are over," or s t not more properly sad that studes are each day much better after a moderate partcpaton n athletcs? HE managers of the Muscal Clubs, we understand, have dscovered the name of the man who broke nto 'n..,.ther frame n Rogers corr- "3' dor recently, and stole the poster announcng one of ther concerts. Although we do not wsh to attach undue mportance to T was most nterestng to note the mmedate and complete hold whch Maron Crawford obtaned on hs audence n hs recent lecture at the Technology Club. t was the sympathy and admraton always aroused by a good story well told, and besdes, Mr. Crawford had the good fortune of at once exctng., 'a L *..

7 THE; TEPOH9 93 the admraton of hs audence by hs fne physque, scarcely to be rvaled, t seemed, by hs own hero Saracnesca. n almost a boysh way he related the nterestng-and remarkable chan of events whch led from hs attemptng the study of Sanskrt when a chld; and of hs meetng wth Dr. Jacobs, the damond merchant of nda, and the orgnal of "Mr. saacs," Maron Crawford's frst novel. Mr. Crawford does not tell stores the way he wrtes them. Hs utterance s not brllant, and he doesn't venture far beyond the safe confnes of ncdent and facts, but he has the fascnaton of Mark Twan and a certan bonhomme whch makes hs experences essentally real and ntensely nterestng. He certanly won the loyal allegance of every graduate and undergraduate who had the fortune to hear hm. S one looks over the lst of socetes at the nsttute one notes that ther object s to help ther members n specfc lnes of study closely related to the work of the class-room. The debatng socety, so mportant n other colleges, s conspcuously absent. t s sad that the Mechancal, the Electrcal, and the Archtectural Socetes take the place of such an organzaton, but there s lttle ground for the statement. Ther feld s necessarly, and rghtly, lmted to the dscusson of techncal subjects. They fal, however, to furnsh what s equally mportant to students of a scentfc school, and that s, an acquantance wth some ofthe countless subjects wthout the feld of the archtect and the engneer, but ncluded n every lberal educaton. Asocety for the dscusson of the topcs of the day, and matters of general nterest, could do much n the drecton of counteractng the trend of scentfc work toward narrowness of thought and expresson. t s now proposed to form at the nsttute a debatng club that shall be open to the whole student body. The plan has the approval of the Englsh department, and the, nterest already manfested seems to nsure the success of the undertakng. Nnety-seven Class Dnner. LAST Saturday evenng '97 held her frst annual alumn class dnner. Twenty-fve men were present. At the meetng before the dnner a commttee consstng of J. Bancroft, Charman, C. W. Bradlee and John Collns, Jr., was chosen to take acton upon the death of Mr. H. W. Allen. After an excellent dnner, Mr. Collns, Secretary of the Class, ntroduced the toastmaster of the evenng, Mr. P. L. Dougherty, who, wth very approprate remarks, ntroduced the followng men who responded to toasts: H. D. Hunt... "The Cold, Cold World." J. Bancroft, "A Bref Summary of What Know." H. A. Clark..... mpromptu. A. Elson, "Men Whom Have Faled to nfluence." C. W. Bradlee.... "Harry Allen." W. O. Sawtelle. "Our Frends Stll at Tech." W. Humphreys.. mpromptu, " My Travels." A. W. Jackson..... "Dough." J. P. lsley, Jr.. mtaton of Cavaler's Songs. J. A. Collns, Jr..... "'97 n 2000." All the toasts were well gven and abounded n wt and sarcasm. After the toasts t was moved and seconded, that the presdent and one member of the class, chosen by the presdent, be a commttee to choose and buy a sutable present to be gven to the frst chld of a member of '97, and that the sum expended should be taken from the class funds. Ths moton was passed. The evenng was then ended wth one last good old-fashoned Technology yell, whch shook the glass on the table and awoke the house.

8 94 4r-HE TEOCH (OM MUNGAJl ONS. The Edtors (o not hoeld themselves respfonsble for opnons evfresscd by corresp ondents. To THE EDTORS OF THE TECH:- n Number 9 of THE TECH Mr. G. A. Hutchnson, '98, called attenton to the desrablty of consoldatng the varous engneerng socetes nto one strong organzaton, whch would be able to command a long lst of dstngushed speakers. n advancng the above proposton the real end n vew has been overlooked. A successful engneer must be able to do more or less speakng n presentng plans, specfcatons, etc., and must express hs deas n a clear, concse form. t was wth ths object n vew that the socetes wvere formed, and t was thought that whle the talks whch the students would gve mght not be of the best, yet all would attend, for, n turn, each would have the same opportunty of delverng an address. Besdes the speakng there s the dscusson whch takes place at each meetng, and whch wvould be dscouraged f larger attendance were realzed or outsde speakers obtaned. The evenngs should be devoted to short dscussons by several men, and the practce whch seems to have grown up n the last year of havng outsders should be abandoned. f the men are desrous of hearng papers on engneerng subjects by promnent men, then they should attend such meetngs as the Socety of Arts, the Boston Socety of Cvl Engneers, or an occasonal Lowell Course. t s a fact that n Boston there are plenty of opportuntes for hearng lectures whch are open to those who wsh to go. We all hear more lectures here n the nsttute than we can do justce to, and each professor makes hs talks as practcal and as far-reachng as hle thnks we care apprecate, so t seems that the proper sphere for the socetes les n the tranng of ts own members. Very truly yours, W. R. STRCKLAN), 98. Two Cancelled Checks. HAV often notced hangng above the mantel n front of the freplace n Jo. Page's lbrary two blue-green bank checks carefully framed n oak, but had never qute got up courage to ask hm to tell me ther hstory untl last Chrstmas Eve. had notced that the checks were for consderable sums, and the date on them was the same as that of Jo.'s weddng. What made me curous about ther hstory, however, was the fact that they were sgned by D. M. Salsbury and E. McC. Sherman. Now, could not understand how t could come about that Teddy Sherman and Dan Salsbury, the ardent though unsuccessful sutors for the hand of Belle Wlder-now Mrs. Jo. Pageshould have made Jo., the successful sutor, weddng presents n the shape of two checks of such sze. often turned over n my mnd the detals of Jo.'s courtshp and marrage for some soluton of ths problem, lbut had never been able to arrve at one. remembered that for two years before the Chrstmas when Jo.'s engagement to Belle Wlder had been announced, t had been supposed by every one that ether Teddy Sherman or Dan Salsbury would be the possessor of Belle's hand, and there was a tremendous sensaton when Jo. Page carred off the prze. Dan and Teddy were neck-and-neck n the race, but Jo. was not thought to have the slghtest chance. Several bets on the result were made among the fellows, and myself lost a lttle, but wth very good grace when found out who was the successful man. n spte of the fact that knew Page better than any one else, never dared to ask hm the hstory of hs engagement. Ths Chrstmas Eve, as sat before the fre wth Mr. and Mrs. Page, was overcome wth curosty. ought to say rght here that was once somewhat of an admrer of Belle, as stll call her, but that am yet a bachelor. "Jo., what are those checks up there n the f-ame? What do they mean, anyway? You've seen me starng at them, and mean to know ther story." " Those thngs? 0, they're keepsakes. Shall tell Arthur about them, Belle? You know 've kept my word, and never told a soul." "Ye-es, guess you may," sad Belle. "t's too old to be very embarrassng."

9 THE TECH 95 "f t s very bad you can leave the room, Mrs. Page," remarked. "Well, here goes," broke n Jo., as he reached across for the tobacco jar that was standng on the table between us. "You see the checks are sgned by Teddy Sherman and Dan Salsbury? And you remember that each of them thought he was gong to marry Belle, don't you? St stll, Belle, may as well tell Arthur the facts wthout dressng them up any. Dan and Teddy made a bet between them, but won t. They were at the Farfax Club one day, and got to dscussng ther chances of success. Each of them was dead sure the other hadn't the ghost of a show, and fnally the dscusson got pretty hot. At last, old Dodge, who was the only other person n the room at the tme, and who was a good deal bothered by ther nose, looked up from hs paper and asked them why they ddn't bet on t, and then keep quet. That struck Teddy and Dan as a brght dea. "' tell you what 'll do,' sad Dan. 'The one that gets the mtten shall pay all the expenses of the other's weddng, and the weddng journey.' "' But, suppose she refuses us both, what then?' Teddy suggested. He always prded hmself on beng far-sghted. "' 0, the two of us shall do t for the lucky man; but, you know just as well as do, that wll never happen,' answered Dan. 'Dodge here wll be stake-holder.' So they each made out a check and gave t to old Dodge, whom they swore to absolute and eternal secrecy. He has kept hs oath, too. That was about Thanksgvng tme, and for the next month thngs were very lvely. Belle, here, the lttle flrt, smled on both alke, and enjoyed t mmensely. thought t was all up wth me. Then came that Chrstmas house-party at Jess Putnam's. We were all down there. About that tme Belle began to thnk thngs were gettng a lttle dangerous, so she frowned on them both just a lttle, and was not qute so cold to me. Before knew t, lost my senses and proposed to her myself." " You mean thng," broke n Mrs. Page f-om the stool by Jo., where she was sttng. " wsh 'd refused you." "Now, don't get sarcastc, Belle. You know don't mean regret that lost my senses then. thnk was the most surprsed of the three when Belle sad yes, and know was the happest. That's all there s to tell. Old Dodgre presented us wth the checks the day before the weddng, whch was the next June, and told ther story. Of course Belle and couldn't refuse them, so we changed our plans and went to England on the Pars? Dd we have a good tme, Belle?" Jo. fnshed hs story, and Mrs. Page stared nto the fre n slence for a moment. Then she got up from the stool and calmly sat down on Jo.'s knee. "You haven't told all the story, Jo., dear." " That's all know of t, Belle. 'll make up a few more ncdents f you'll lke t any better." Belle thought an nstant, and then sad slowly: "Dan and Teddy both proposed the afternoon before that Chrstmas Eve when you dd, Jo." Mr. Page's face was a study, but felt that t was an opportune tme to go out on the pazza and see what was the state of the weather. Sonnet. G. P. D.

14 100 -r- =CRCH 100 THE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TECH.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REJOCE, 0 gentle Freshman, for the Chrstmas season s at hand, when greens are regarded wth admraton and not wth cruel scorn! Rejoce, ye Sophe, for a brand new cane may le hd n some snug corner of a sock on the festval mornng! Be of good cheer, O Junor, for mstletoe berres are whte, and maden's lps are red! Prepare, most grave and reverend Senor, to enjoy thy last undergraduate class dnner, and the last Chrstmas of thy joyous, rresponsble youth wth the zest born of a knowledge of sterner thngs. O athletes and red-berbboned offcals, dsport yourselves merrly at the ndoor games! O grnds, enjoy your Chrstmas n your own unholy fashon by pluggng quaternons or valve gears, or whatever may be your specal brand of vce! O members of the Faculty, eat, drnk, and be merry, wth conscences untroubled by any vsons of the past and dreams unvsted by phantoms of the flunked! t s true that the gltterng stars are veled by gray clouds. t s true that the whrlng snowflakes are reduced to a lqud form early n ther passage through the heated atmosphere. t s true that the merry tnkle of the slegh bells s drowned by the rumble of wheels on the bare pavement. t s true, also, that the Lounger's purse s empty, and that aunts and cousns nnumerable wll expect lttle remembrances from ther favorte relatve! Even the weather and the unbought present cannot, however, dm the brghtness of ths festal season. The essence of the Englsh Chrstmas speaks to us through Charles Dckens, and spreads even over the land of the Purtan the sprt of charty and love, of good fellowshp and jollty. t s at such tmes that the Lounger, cync though he may seem, s n hs element. And t s wth earnest sncerty that he wshes to all hs frends (and he ncludes under ths ttle every one connected wth Technology) hs wshes for an old-tme merre Chrstmas The Lounger s nothng f not a phlosopher; he was, therefore, much pleased to note, on passng through Rogers corrdor last week, that a socety was to be formed for the "dscusson of modern phlosophcal questons." The Lounger has snce learned that ths hopeful project emanated from the bran of an enthusastc Freshman, who n two short months has learned that the cryng need of the nsttute s for new socetes to furnsh occupaton for the undergraduate body. The benefts of a phlosophcal socety to the Freshman must ndeed be patent to the most sceptcal: when he has receved an F for the ffth tmne on hs tntng plate he wll, f he be a member of ths socety, remember the maxm of M. Aurelus Antonnus, "f a thng s dffcult to be accomplshed by thyself, do not thnk that t s mpossble for man"; and when the fumes of carbon bsulphde offend hs nostrls n the upper parts of Walker he wll argue, wth Berkeley, that materal thngs have no exstence, except n the conscousness of the observer. The Lounger's hopes for ths new socety were npped, however, n ther bud. At the tme set for ts organzaton he happened to be n THE TECH offce, composng a lyrc after the manner of Robert Herrck, when hs labors were dsturbed by confuson n the room below. Cheers, and groans, and hoots broke the afternoon stllness; fnally the splnterng of woodwork was heard, and the dull thud of nk bottles strkng aganst nelastc blackboards. The Assstant Edtor n Chef and the Assstant Busness Manager, who were matchng pennes n the corner, rushed out to quell the mpendng rot. They returned half an hour later wth the glow upon ther faces of duty nobly done. t seems that they found the Freshmen almost at blows over the ratocnaton of ther frst syllogsm; they queted the excted seekers after truth, and ponted out to them the vrtues of calmness and moderaton. Tlhen t occurred to one of them to sprng that old, old joke of a Debatng Socety. "Look here," sad the Assstant Busness Manager, "you don't want a Phlosophcal Socety. You don't know enough. What you want s a Debatng Socety." Whereupon the fckle multtude decded that a Debatng Socety was what ther souls really yearned for, and they proceeded to organze one and to elect the A. B. M. charman. Thus has the dream of past Freshmen and TECH Edtors been at last realzed. Ths s why the A. B. M. may be seen any afternoon on Boylston Street wth hs mouth full of pavng stones, tryng to drown the clang of the electrc cars as Demosthenes dd the roar of the Egean.
