About a FlapperProfessor Passano Thinks That

Variety Is The SpiceOf Writing

It has long remained an unknownf'act that hidden among the lost in-tegral signs and influential equationsof Building 2 there is one who secretlyshines in the literary world. For di-versificationi of subjects and types of,writing there are probably few modernauthors who surpass Professor L.Magruder Passano of the Departmentof Mathematics. His writings rangefrom ph ilosophical essays to calculusbooks, juvenile histories to theses onscientific management, from collegesongs to drama of the Shakesperiantype.

It was with a cerltain inward hes-itanlcy and -trepidation that I ap-proached his office door and gentlknocked. It -had been just a yearsince I had crossed that threshold,.but then it was to seek slome help illnsolving one of those most peculiarlyincomprehensible problems whichProfessor Phillips has included in his"Differential Equations.' A barely au-diblse "Come in" encouraged me toopen the door.

To Ithose who are unacquaintedwith Professor Passano, perhaps a.brief description would be inpterest-ing. He is a most genteel appearingmall, tall, erect, and rather dark com-plexrioned. His raiment is immacu-late, well polished brown shoes part-ly hidden by spotless spats, a -brownchiecked suit with knife-like creases

in the trousers, and the sleeves ofthe coat, a "flight-of-angels" collar en-circled by a four-in-hand which blendswith the rest -of his apparel. His fea-

lDr. Harry W. Tyler '84, haswritten expressly for the GreaterTechnology Issue the followingreminiscences of his early days atthe Institute. Having served withthe Faculty for nearly half a cen-tury, Dr. Tyler is probably as wellfitted to tell the absorbing storyof our growth as any person nowconnected with Technology. Thosewho have had the opportunity tohear any of the professor's ad-dresses will recognize in the fol-lowing article the familiar dry,subtle humor of his outlook uponlife.

It is notoriously easy for the agedto bie garrlllouls and an invitation toreminisce is surely a mark of editorialrecklessness. The time limit underwhich this is written must absolve theauthor from any embarrassing respon-sib>.ity for accuracy; the errors maybe attributed impartially to the infirm-aties of rnernory and to Tlle Techproof Xreader (if such a person ex-ists).

On a (lay \ -lich I could w ish lessremote than 1880, I remember trudg-inlg levrioulsly from C:helsea throughCharlestown up the steep north slopeof Beacon Still, wondering whether thethen ufamiliar tl ees of Boston Com-monl meant that I had again wanderedback into the country, and barely ar-rivinlg at the Rogers Building in timefor the dreaded entrance examina-tiOlIS. Of these my main recollectionis of the pervading presence of Pro-fessor William Ripley Nichols-nowfeebly suggested' by the portrait inWalker Memorial.

v- One of the features that has beenmost desired is about to be realized.

e An order was placed this week for ax- complete intramural telephone systemts- which will include a two-positions.9.switchboard with a capacity of 800lelines. This is large enough to takey' care of all the dormitories contem-Y- plated for the next few years. The_system will be inlstalled this suammer,

and wrill permit every man in the dor-mitories to talk with any other mallwithout stirring from his own room.Suitable swrrangements will also bemade for outside conllections.

Dormitory Expansion Demanded

The furniture and equipment or the.new units are to be similar to those in.'Ninety-Three, except that after twoyears' experience, it has been decidedto discontinue the use of the bridgelamps and substitute a desk type.

The dormitory board believes thatwhen these units are completed theywill offer accommodations that are su-perior to any other dormitories theyknow of. A nlew dormitory pamphletwill shortly be issued showing thefloor planls, rentals, and summerprices, and giving other information.

Fsor ten years past there has been aconstant and ever-increasing demandfor greater dormitory facilities. Dor-mitory expansion was made the sub-ject of speeches and letters by vari-ous Alumni anld Institute officials, anldwas urged from every quarter as be-ing of vital importance to Technolo-gy's increasing enrolment.

The Class of 1893 in one contribu-tion gave to the Institute the double-unit known as 'Nirnety-T~hree. Thisgift wias announced by President Sam-uel W. Strattonl in June 1923, and theerection was completed by the springof 1924. It was at that time a modelof dormitory construction and pre-

.sented several unique featuires.The interior design was governed,

throughout by the idea of simplicitycombined with a maximum of comfort.It head been found. that the majorityof students preferred to. room alone;and the plans called -accordingly- fora preponderanc~e of -sing-le roois.- .At

Southern End Will Be Left the same time communicating doorswere left to permit the formation ofsuites if it should be desired. Roomi-ness and good lighting were featuredin the construction, and the morningrush to the bathroom was avoided byplacing wash bowls in every room.

The inside wall finish was unique initself. Great difficulty had been ex-perienced in finding a wall finish thatwould be both durable and attractive,and the burlap was an innovation. Agood grade of burlap was applied di-rectly to the wet plaster and workedthoroughly into it. The resulting sur-face had the advantages of plaster andnone of its disadvantages: the burlapprotected the plaster and reinforcedit; if nails were driven into the wallthe burlap prevented the plaster fromfalling out in chunks; it took painteasily, was not hard to clean, and wa-terproof, and presented an attractivefinish. "Duraffex" flooring similarlysolved the question of flooring for thenew building. It was harder than lin-oleum, and at the same time not hardenough to be noisy under chairs andheels No seams or cracks were nec-essary and repairs were possible with-out spoiling its appearance. Novel fea-tures were introduced in its structuraldesign, which was referred to as theGunstone System.

Finds RightTobacco forthe Tropics

October 6, 1926XLarus & Bro. Co.Richmond, Va., U. S. A.Gentlemen:

Most all well-known tobaccos smokewell in a cold or temperate climate,but very few in a tropical climate.They are mostly too heavy, don't seemto be blended right-at least that ismy opinion gained from practical ex-perience.

However, Edgeworth is the same inany climate. Again that is my opiniongained by practical experience.' I cannot get the same pleasure outof any brand of tobacco that I can outof Edgeworth, and I have tried many-and paid fancy prices, too. It costsreal money to smoke imported tobaccoshere; the import duty is very high.

Anyway, we cannot have everything,we would lilke in these countries, so wehold o l to all the little pleasures possi-ble. Now you know why I smokeEdge-rorth.

The new infirmary, an importantunit of the building extension programbeing carried out by the Institute, hasassumed definite shape. Constructionbegun last summer has been slowedup somewhat by the cold weather dur-ing the past several weeks, but theexterior of the building is now prae-tically finished.

Though not particularly impressivein size of architecture when viewed asa unit, it presents a very solid andpractical appearance which is quitesuitable to its purpose. The structureforms a wing of Building 3 and is soconstructed that the entrance will beat the first floor level, and almostdirectly above the entrance to thequarters of the Department of Hygienein the basement.

Named After Richard Hornberg '2304,This addition to the Institute has a

very interesting history. RichardHomberg '23, whose family and rela-tives have contributed the funds whichmake it possible, died in the year inwhich he was to graduate as a resultof pneumonia. He was rowing as amember of the Senior crew in theRichards Cup race when the shellsprang a leak. The police boat whichapproached to effect a rescue acciden-tally struck the light shell which im-mediately sank. Hombbrg had alreadybeen suffering from the effects of aninfection, and the exposure was toomuch for him. He developed a se-vere case of pnuemonia from which henever recovered. His family believedthat his death could have been avoidedhad there been proper facilities for hiscare. Con;sequently they gave to the In-stitute the sum of one hundred thou-hand dollars Ito be used toward theconstruction of a modern and ade-quate infirmary for the care of stu-dent illness. It is to be known asthe Richard Homberg Memorial In-firmary.

One much-needed facility which thenew building will offer is sufficient(space for examining the students.Such examination is given to all in-coming men and at this period thesingle dressing room and examinationroom which is available to the Depart-ment of Hygiene becomes very crowd-ed. In the new infirmary there will beeight dressing rooms and four exam-ination rooms. These will all be lo-cated on the first floor. At the samelevel will be a physician's office, awaiting and recording room, a firstgid room, clinics for the treatment ofthe eye, ear, nose and throat, X-rayroom and dark room, and a dentalclinic.

Solorium on Top FloorThe infirmary is to contain fifteen

beds. These will be on the secondfoor and will be distributed so as tomaake two wards lof five beds each,four private rooms for the accommo-dation. of cases convalescent or underobservation, and an isolation ward.On the same floor will be the emergen-cy operating room, the kitchen, andthe sterilizing laboratory.

Perhaps the greatest single featureof the entire building is the solariumwhich will occupy the whole top floorof the building. It provides a placewhere convalescent patients may getthe full benefit of sunlight and freshair. These are two things of primeimportance as factors in hastening therecovery of a patient. This solariumrepresents some very advanced ideasin hospital construction. The Institutetried to obtain some glass for use inthe windows of this floor which wouldlet in a larger percentage of the health-giving ultra-violet rays than is admit-,ted by ordinary window glass.

Quartz Glass Substitute NeededSome was obtained and tested in the

laboratories of the Institute. It wasshown that the product admitted somefifty percent of the rays but that itdeteriorated so rapidly that il aboutsix months time it admitted less of therays than did common glass. Conse-quently this glass was not purchased.It is impossible to obtain anythingfrom the market which is practical.Small pieces of fused quartz call beobtained but not in any size whichwould -be of use in the solarium. At-tempts are still being made to securesome sort of material which willserve the purpose.

Back in 1916, after lengthy and careful compara-tive tests, a Webster Vacuum System of SteamHeating was adopted as standard for all build-ings of the Institute by its own Engineering De-partment, in collaboration with William W.Bosworth, Architect, French & Hubbard, Con-sulting Engineers; Stone & Webster, GeneralContractors; Lynch & Woodward, Contractors.

Now, in 1928, the 'Stute can look back over twelveyears of satisfactory heating with negligible main-tenance and replacement costs and see how fullythe Webster System has justified the approval ofthose who chose it.

For six years Brother Juniper ga~tered information concerning the liv-of the five unfortunates and finally hwork was complete. Whether Broth-Jiuniper ever did discover the plana matter for the reader to decide, b-the work was adjudged heretical ardemned to be burned.

Thornton Wilder handles nis then:with consummate skill, at all tim--exib~iting great finesse in playing tIcards that reconstruct the lives of tl-five unfortunates.

ber t and Charles Bloni. $2.50.;Here is a second novel by that youngnovelist, Thornton Wilder. It followshis, first novel, "The Cabala" and isequally as M-ood as, if not better than,his first. The acclaim which criticshave given the author seems to bearout the prophecies of a meteoric riseto fame.

"The Bridge of San Luis Rey" is areal masterpiece by all the standards.1y which wie judge such works. Ifirst place as a, descriptive novel, itgives a remarkably fine picture of lifeand customs of a Spanish colony oftwo centuries ago.

The story is wovenl, as a beautifultapestry, about the central pattern ofthe Bridge of San Luis Rbey. The ac-tiOII takes place in Peru in the veryearly eighteenth century. The Bridgeof San Luis Rey has just fallen plung-ing five travelers to their death. Nearthe Bridge lives a little Franciscanlmonk, Brother Juniper, who has long

Who'd a thou-lit it? Here the Loull-ger has been going to school for yearswith a second Oscar Wilde, and henev er so much. as guessed that Ma-gruder had it in himn! He may beonly a teacher of math in one wing ofthe factory, this Leonard MagruderSneaker Joseph Passano, but he sureknows his women. But how come ateacher of calculus turning sex auth-ority Well, he said himself that sexhas always been the biggest problembe has ever had to face, and even nlowthe best solution he can give to thegirl question is to call her "an equa-tion of the nth degree with all imag-inary roots." Only imagine-this fromour own Slleaker Joe!

''Naughty-nlaughy'' is Maggie's per-sonlal criticism of his barefaced play ofsuch modern evils as the Charlestonand prohibition, only omitting the iiii-mlentiona?)le compansionate marriages.And to give the good man credit f orhis judgment the Lounger will haveto admit that it actually is naughty-and that doesn't half express it! TheL~ounger's readers can inia-ine "TheHard Boiled Virgin" as wvrittenl by anauthor who has known Tech men f oryears, he will have only a fair idea ofthe limits of this drama. And just foratmosphere, Mag has picked Hell (notMK. 1. T.) for the scene of his action.

DE the old foggies can worry so per-miissably on just what the younger gen-eration is coming to, the Loungercan't help having even a few qualmson what's going to happen to the olderpeople if this is a fair sample of theirmorbid condition. When a Tech pro-fessor who has plenty of classes andtutoring to occupy all his time has toturn to sex plays to unburden hismilld, what can bc expected of theyoungsters Fahom he teaches? No won-der they go to the dogs anld Back Baybrawvls. But say what he will, theLounger must admit that the play isreally very naughty and rather inter-esting. ( Adv. )

A GREATER TECHNOLOGY ISSUE

IN the field of commercial j ourllalism a twelve page issuemeans something almost too insignificant to mention, but to

an organization set up to handle a tri-weekly journal of fourpages it means quite a little. In producing this issue all depart-ments of the paper have been strained to at least three timesnormal effort, and the linotypers, make-up men, and pressmenalike have been f orced to suffer for the dreams of the under-graduate editors.

These twelve pages, simple as they appear, representadream now months old a dream which increased the pulselof news, sports, features, advertising and circulation depart- ments alike, and caused office typewriters to suffer untold 'abuse at the hunt-and-punch pile-driving on their keyboards.|It represents an accomplishment and sets up a record size issue 1for future boards of THE TECH to shoot at.I

We have conceived these pages as "A Greater TechnologyIssue" and have printed 3000 additional free copies which arebeing sent to Alumni throughout the eastern states because wefeel that Technology is passing important milestones in itsprogress and growth. We want the graduates of the Instituteto sense this progress and to have an increased feeling of prideIover their Alma Mater. And further we want them to realizemore clearly what the Corporation, Faculty and Students alikeare doing to maintain Technologfy's position of leadershipIamong Engineering Colleges the world over.

A COURSE IN HUMANICSI

~¢ , T a recent Aldred Lecture William E. Nickerson '76, pre-A sented some original thoughts on the topic of "Knowledge

-Plus Wisdom" and during the course of his talk strongly rec--ommended that a lecture course be established for Juniors andl

Seniors to deal with the human element in the business world.= ~ Mr. Nickerson pointed out that our graduates where fullly

equipped to meet problems of an engineering nature, but~>lacked any knowledge of the fundamental rules which gov--- ern a man's relations and actions in the business world. He

-, proposed to call such a course '"Humanics" and suggested a-list of twenty-four worth while topics which might be used.

We feel that Mr. Nickerson has shown us a very valuable-way to improve our curriculu-m and better train engineers for1>their life work. We hope his suggestions will bear fruit.

OUR AIR CASTLE AUDITORIUM

T what kind of a meeting has your enthusiasm been workedAlup to the highest pitch? Wasn't it at some large gather-ing? The larger the group assembled, the greater tshe enthus-

.J iasm. that can be produced. In the light of this we wonder whyit is that a larger college does not have the spirit that is com.-mon to the smaller college.

It seems to us that this situation is explained to a largeextent by the fact that few of the larger schools have assemblyhalls large enough to accommodate all their students. Smallminorities only can get to-ether at a time and the spirit workedup, is more for the group than for the school. We do not havethe lar-e football games here at Technology which, whatevertheir disadvantages, get the majority of the students together.

We have been trying, during the past few years, to createa. greater Technology spir'it by means of our freshman rules,freshman lectures, and our dormitory plans. These are allaids toward that end, and great aids too,' but they only in-clude a fraction of the undergraduate body at a time. Theonly practical way to reach the whole group at once is throughassemblies which it is impossible to hold because we lack ameeting place. Is it too mulch to hope that someday we shallhave an auditorium?

"Damn this younger gener ation" yells some alumnus whohas cut down his wife's allowance to aid the new dormitories,"Money is to them like Castoria is to children, they alwayscry for more." But progress and complete satisfaction are nev-er to be found together, so as our dormitory plans are material-izing we build our air castles for the future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTMie wish to take this opportunity to thank the Editors ofNV "The Technology Review" for statistics, stories, and data

which they have so kindly furnished us for this issue.

The Lounlger doesn't know if pres-eiit Alumini used to manage it thiswvay, but Johnny Hartz, Class of '28S(if it works), has just presented Lob)-by5 with a box of cigars.

A wordt of advice from all ex;per-ienced Lounger to all Institute men. Ar eent edition of one of Boston's great-er dailies made mention of the latestPeeping Tom caught in the residen-tial district-a Harvard man again ofcourse. It may bie that he was only aNrouth~ athlirst for knowledge that his

profs, wouldn't divulge, or perhaps he,.vs just looking for pointers takenfrom life rather than from the silversheet but whlatever the case, "Harvard-peeper" makes a pretty logical com-bination. So Just ill the -way of astilggestion, the Lounger allies that allInstitute men pull downv the shadesbefore lzeginlning operations, lest s,)niearltranee~l tr(.bniqiie get dozeni arollndiITarv wald ct::.e.I

It mnay be that this pre-examina-tion perilod has put. us ill all over-critical mobod, blut even were such P.c~onditioll absent. it would be evidentto anyone atatendillg the Metropolitallthis week that there seemed to bea let down from -the usual excellenceof the program. Many of the stagenumbers wvere fully as attractive as

The p~roucletio-n ovel ture, as it istermed. was unusually poor, so muchso ill fact that the a~udience, wuas-thorougfhly disgusted wvithl its .aia-t-eurisln~ess.

"W;\ife Savers," the feature picturelwith Wallace Beery, Raymond Hat-ton, and Ford Sterling is a purelyislap-stick7 comedy of war time adven-ture in the Alps.

For slow, methodical engineers, thedancing is amazing. A pony balletthat can kick about its marks as wellas it can kick ab~out the stage couldpass any course with ease and finesse.The sinuous Siamese Ballet windsitself in and about, tying itself in-to knots in intricate whirls, loops,and convolutions, and is a perfectjustification for the return of the Bal-let to Tech Show-

The chorus, well-drilled, clever onits feet as well as pretty to look at,bears its substantial burden well.

Gift of Guggenheim Foundation Now UnderConstruction-New Aeronautics Laboratory

ling Projectsiletion°-To Beof Fly'ing Worldtlarge tunnel, seven feet in diameter,.in which it is possible -to produce an

artificial wind velocity of 70 miles anhour, 'Was built in 1913 tinder the di-rection -of Commander Jerome C.IHunsaker, U. S. N. Both of theseare still in use.

e- As soon as the basement of thenew building is ready, the large wind

ltunnel will be moved. It is expectedr-that this will be done writthin a few

Lle weeks. A large opening has been leftlin one of the end walls a-ad an attemptz1will be made to move the tunnel in-,

s- tact to its new quarters. Consider-)f able difficulty will be encountered inr- accomplishing this, since -the tunnel isLs almost as long as the new laboratory.t- In order to get it out sof Building 20,

where it is now housed, practically ad whole end wall of the building will-e have to be removed.

(i New Wind Tunnel Probableh For the present tche smaller tunneld will not be movedl. If funds can be

prcue, a new tunnel five feet in.diameter will be built in its place.

.'Othlerwise the old one will be moved,,probably in the spring. When both

of the wind tunnels are in place in|the new building, practically the en-tire length and width of the, basement

* will be occupied by them.* On the first floor will be a work-,, ing museum, library, undergraduate,.drafting room, offices and 11locker.rooms, access to which will-be gained

frfom entrances at the ends of the-building. On the second floor will be

s a large rigging laboratory. The air-planes which are us-ed by the pres-enlt rigging classes are now in thehangar and will be removed to the

1new rigging -laboratory in parts. Be-;,sidles this laboratory there will be a

e drafting room, research rooms, and of-2 fices on the second floor.

Four laboratories w5ill be on thelt third floor. One of these is to beIl-used for the testing of materials used

in the construction of aircraft. Anew rib testing machine will beplaced in this laboratory. It has notyet been decided whether this will bebought complete or designed and builtat the Institute. In the past a-II test-ing of materials has ben done in theregular mechanical engineering test-ing materials laboratory.|Thle remain-der of the third floor

will be occupied by two classrooms, alaboratory devoted to studies of flighttest instruments, and a large draftingroom for graduate students. Skylightswill give excellent natural light ftordrafting and research work on thisfloor.. A large platform will be builton the roof and will be used for dem-ons~trating and testing flight instru-ments.

Wind Tunnels Fill First FloorA large amount of space on the first

and street floors will be taken up bythe wind tunnels, which are of sucha hleighlt -that they wifll extend upthrough thes~e floors from the base-menlt. Space enough for only a fewrooms will be available on the streetfloor, since the entire width of thebuilding will be occupied by the tun-nes. The smaller -tunnel will reachto the ceiling of the first floor whilethe larger one will rise one story high-er to thle third floor. The only spacethat wrill be left on the street floorwill be at either en d of the buildingnear the entrances. There -vill be nocorridor on this floor.

Almost half of the floor space onthe first floor will be lost onl accountof the large tunnel. The space left,however, will be large enough to allowa line of rooms on the MassachusettsAvenue side of the building al d a cor-ridor running the entire length of th^Leebuilding between them and Sthe local],of -the wlind tunnel room.|

Provision has been made for takingapparatus in and out Pof the buildingthrough large doors which have beenprovided in the back of the basement,and at the Vassar Strieet end of thesecond and third floor.

Weather conditions have permittedthe construction work on the newlaboratory to progress rapidly so thatat the present timne very little re-mains to be done on the exterior. Thefront is practically finished and the!wind~ows are being pult in place. Th:LEsteps leading up to the entrances areas yet incomplete. Work oil the roofwill be completed ill a short time.This along waith the cement work ~on-the ends of the building will completethe exterior work. Although quite alarge amount of work remains to bedone on the inside of the building itis expected that it lvill proceed r ap-idly.

Equipment of the new building wvillbegin as soon as the interior is finl-ished. By the end of the second termthe Aeronautical Department expects,to be moved into its new quarters.Tf the wtork progresses as rapidly asis ex:pectedl, the formal dedication oftlle Daniel Guggenheim AeronauticalLaboratory wil take place at Com-mencement. The date has not y etbeen definitely set but it is hoped -tha-tthe building will be ready for the cere-monies at this time.

Interference With Studies IsReason for Imposing

Restrictions

During the past few years at Bow-doin the interference of fraternity in-itiation stunlts with tile studies of thefreshman pledges hlas become a ser i-ous matter. Thle subject w as takentip by the Stuldenzt Couneil a short timeago and resulted in the making of cei-tain rules to w~hich every fraternity isnow bound.|1. No fraternity shall cause its

I freshmen to remain oult later than 12,o'clock more than one night durin-gpre-iniflation period (three weeks pre-vious to initiation.)

'9. No fresllmlan slhall be kept atfraternity activities other than initia-tionl ceremony itself later than 10o'clock oll any llight vi~th above ex-ception, nor later than 8:30 o'clock onany night preceding an holly examinla-tion.

-9 t shall be the duty of each fra-ternlity to distribute its curriculum re-quiremenlts (such as memorizing fra-tern~it3y so1gs, rolls, and other mlat-ters) over a period of at least threeweeks and ill a mannller al levriatingally possible interference with fl esll-man study.

4. If the above l ules are not adl-heredl to the Student Council will rec-ommend to ,the Faculty that suitablepunishment be imposed.

The season of 1927 started with theusual Cross Country meets and aftera fairly successful season we scoreusecond place in the Varsity CrossCountry and second place in theFreshman race. At the I. C. 4 A atNew York we scored fifth in the Var-sity and sixth in the Freshman.

The real season of 1927 will startat the K. of C. -~ames January 28thand Mwill give the boys a chance toprepare for the spring season. In the40 yard dash the men will probablyshow the best will bie Barbour, Edlundand Janldrice as Varsity men. Fre~sh-men probably will lbe BXroeder, Lead-better and Persionl. In the 600 we willprobably have a number of Varsitymen and it wvill not be known untilafter the relay trials Oil the 21st.Freshmen entered for the 600 will beMoss, Baltzer, McNiff, and HarveyBaltzer was the Cross Country cham-piOnl last fall and certainly should bean addition to th e tracks team nextyear as at Varsity man.

In the 1,000 yal ds the majority ofmen entered will bie Cross Countrymen so as to establish speed for thecoming spring events. Kirwin, captainof the Cross Coulltry team, with Perry,M~itchlel, Herbert, Allbzright, Worthen,and Aulstin will p~robab~ly be the menentered in the 1,000 yards. Austinhas fuflly recovered from his injurywrlich happened this fall and probably-will be running b~etter than ever.

MA cCarthy made a new Javelin record.of 176 ft. 10 inches, and Hank Stein-brenner established two new recordsin the 120 highs and 220 lows of 15 2/5and 24 3,'5.

Coach of TechnologyTrack Team 1924-28

By Oscar HedlundTrack Coach of Technology

Track at Technology has been one of the major sports for agood many years and has had the greatest number of men re-port for exercise during these years. It probably has donemore for the individual in the sense of competition, in creatingcompetitive powers for future life. The competition in trackcreates for the individual, work which is done by himself only,not with the assistance of other members of the team. By thismen who have been in track have been of great value in thebusiness world wher it comes to initiative powers.

Since 1924 tile ntlm s hare ilk-o;reased considelrabiy at the TrackiHouse and witlh the glrowving alt-

tendanlce the teams have shomm bet-

F1reslinen wa}li the champion,:hip Ithatyear and McClin.tock was the indi-vidual ainner making a new l ecordfor- the course. At the I. C. 4 A theVarsity team finislledl seventh placeanld the Freshmen fourth.

Win New Englands in 1926During the winter Leness won the

600 yard special at the K. of C. games,making a new record for the trackof 1.17 1-5. The relay team won fromBrown at the B. A. A. games. Tech-no1ogy won from Halvard and Ed-ward Chute secured second place inthe 1,000 yard handicap. Il the springthe Cardinal and Gray finished ithirdin the Medley championship race andsecond in Class B championship.Technology had its usual dual meets,but with Cornell we secured ninefirst places out of fifteen and tied one.Tlhis was a very good showing againstithe Cornell boys as they have beenone of the leaders in the iitercollegi-ate competitions. For the climax ofthe s.eason Technology won the NewEngland championships and ended thIeseason in glory.

The Cross Coutnry season of 1926was fairly successful and in the N~ewEngland intercollegiates Ithe Varsityteam finished third and the Freshmenfifth. McClintock scored slecond placein the Varsity race. At the I. C. 4 Ain New York both teams scored fifth

After trailing Wesleyan 22-14 at thehalf ,the Cardinal and Gray basketballteam made a gallant attempt to tieup the score and clinch a victory inthe early part of the second in thegame.played at the Hangar gym onSaturday night. After bringing thetally to 27-25 in favor of the visitors,the latter suddenly rallied, shot a fewmore baskets and finished with a safemargin of 35-26.

Both squads played a hard, fastgame throughout the entire contest.The passing and general team workwas a feature in itself and incidentallywas about the best that has been seenat the Hangar this year. Wesleyanplayed a "heads-up" game and timeafter time turned intercepted passesinto accurate shots at the hoop. TheEngineers likewise were good on thedefense but they could not seem toput over the winning tallies.

Johnny Reydjers was the outsitand-ing star of the Institute team, beingresponsible for half of the Technologyscoring. In the course of the even-ing he caged the ball six times for atotal of twelve points and then addedone to this number on a free shot.Bradshaw played a sensational gamefor the visitors accounting for fifteenpoints.

Allen Starts ScoringBrig Allen started off the scoring

early in the first period on a free try,and a few minutes later Reyndersslipped through the opposition for twomore points. Van Cott deadlocked thescore on the next two plays. Bradshawthen continued the attack for Wes-leyan. When the first half ended thescore was 22-14 and prospects for aBeaver victory looked slim.

With the opening of tMe second halfthe Cardinal and Gray players seemedto have taken on a new lease of life.They passed and dribbled through thevistors defense until within two pointsof tying the game. Reynders and Al-len were playing a great game on theforward line as was Captain NormEstes at guard. Then with the gamepractically vithin their grasp, theEngineers wavered just long enoughfor Wesleyan to regain their poiseand ward off defeat.

Before the Varsity game, the year-lings were downed by Cambridge Latin29-16. The school boys played a verygood game and took advantage of thecomparative inexperience of their op-ponents. Clancy at right forward wasresponsible for 15 of the 29 point total.Kamy played a -ood game for thefrosh.

The frosh wrestlers had little dif-ficulty in downing the MassachusettsCollege of Osteopathy at the Hangergym on Saturday evening. The visi-tors were unable to muster their fullstrength bringing only two men to themeet. Six louts were scheduled andas a result, four went by default tothe Engineers. The official score was23-3.

Two bouts were staged however andboth proved interesting to the specta-tors. In the 135 pound class, Snow ofthe Cardinal and Gray downed Mer-rill of M. C. O. after a see-saw battle.Snow was given the judges' decision.In the 168 pound class Gammon ofM. C. O. reversed the tables by down-ing James of Technology. He provedtoo much for the frosh and took thedecision. George Myerson of Cam-bridge refereed the bouts.

FRESHMEN LOSE TOEXETER MERMxEN 56-6

Exeter's fast swimming team provedmore than the'equal of the Beavercubs in the meet held at Exeter onSaturday. The prep school boys fin-ished on the long end of a 56-6 score.They took both first and second place:in the six individual events andbreezed home a winner in the relay.

Captain Savage took first in the 50yard and. swimming anchor man onthe relay, was first to finish. Histeammate Osborne carried off the hon-ors in the 100 and 200 yard events.Fowler gave a very neat exhibitionin the dive. Maciay, McMinn, andLutz were the best Technology en-|trants.

Worcester Tech's swimming teamnosed out it-lie Engineer swimmers35-27 in a fast and close meet at Wor-cester Tech Saturday. This was thefirst swimming meet that WorcesterTech has ever had, but they have sev-eral of the best swimmers in New Eng-land as well as a well balanced team.As in the Amherst meet, it remainedfor the relay to decide the winner asthe score stood 27-27 at the beginningof the relay.

At the opening of this event Hol-combe gained about a yard on Brownand this lead was too much for theengineers to overcome although theydid their best to do so. Larson thewind up man added a little to this, buthe finished only a bare two yardsahead of Luey. The engineers are han-dicapped in having to use a numberof 440 men as dash men.

Two more Technology records wereshattered when Jarosh clipped fiveseconds off the record he made inthe 440 last Saturday and Luey low-ered the old 150 yd. back stroke rec-ord by two seconds. Jarosh crossedthe line in 6 minutes 4 1/5 secondsand Luey finished in 2 minutes and1/5 of a second.

As was expected, Worcester took allthe dashes, the diving and the breast-stroke. Although the engineers havetwo good breast stroke men, they couldfdo very little against Larson who israted as the best breast stroke in NewEngland. As usual the engineerswalked off with the 440 and the backstroke with ease. In spite of the factthat they lost the meet the engineersmade a very favorable showing.

Technology's fencers wcent dowen todefeat in the first match of the yearat the hands of Boston University On.Saturday by a 5-4 score. Thne teamswere well matched and the resultwas in doubt ulp to the final bout. TheTerriers appeared to force the goingthroulghlout, and this perhaps morethan anything else weas responsible fortheir victory. On all around sword-manship the Engineers appeared b~et-ter able to handle themselves.

Unfortunately the meet on~ Saturdaywas probably the last one that CaptainlHarris will compete ill, under the In-stitute colors. He is leaving schoolthis week and will not return untilnext Fall, His loss will be felt se-riously by the team. Ill his last conl-test he broke even, losing the openerto Lavine of D. U., and then trounc-ing Wolfsonl 5-0.

Carlos Ferre was the high scorerfor the Engineers, winning both of hismatches bZy decisive scores. He defeat-ed Sucek 5-0 and W~olfson 5-0. Lavinew^as high scorer for Boston, takingthree matches, the first against Harris,the second against Lester and the thirdagainst Harrison.

Variation in Power DemandIs Biggest Problem to

Overcome

'One of the outstanding features ofthe sky line of the Institute, and ofCambridge as well, is the huge smoke-stack of the Technology Power Plant.While it forms a less attractive andless distinctive feature of the outlineof the buildings, it is much more im-portanat to the existence and opera-tion of the Institute than the familiardome of building 10.

Not that the stack itself is so im-

portant, but rather the equipmentwhich makes it necessary, and thePower Plant whose, site it marks, isall important in the upkeep of thebuilding. This Power Pllant furnishesnot only heat, but light' and power tothe entire group of Institute buildings.

Since there is no drain other thanthe power used in the Destitute build-ings the plant must be adaptable towide variations of demand. Duringthe summer and on Sundays'and hol-idays the power consumption is verylow, while in winter when classes arein full swing a maximum demand mustbe met.

Plant Has Four Boilers-In order that it may meet this vary-

ing demand with the greatest possi-ble efficiency the plant is equipped

, AND POWVER{TME INSTITUTEK .with one 270 horse power and three520 ho rse 'power boilers. Oiily one ofthe large boilers is kept in operationat times of minimum demand, andwhen the maximum output is requiredtwo of the large boilers, and the smallone, are used. Ill this way one of thelarge boilers is always held ill re-serve for emergency use. These boil-ers furnish the steam to turbineswhich are directly connected to onedirect current and three alternatingcurrent generators which supply theInstitute with electricity.

Each of the boilers is equipped witha Riley self-dumpinlg stoker. Thesehave motor driven plungers whichfeed the coal into the grate from thebottom of the stoker bunker. Ill turna,these bunkers are automatically filledby a travellings lorry which holds abouttwo tolls. This moves along ill frontof the boilers and fills the stoker bunk-ers. The equipment assures uniform-ity of operation of -the boilers, whichis an important factor ill obtaining thegreatest possible efficiency..

Complete Combustion ObtainedSpecially designed grates and an

over-feed air pressure which can beregulated so that excess air is pre-vented from blowing through the part-ly burned fuel make possible the com-plete combustion of the coal withoutloss of volatile matter. This featureadds to the. boiler efficiencyc of theplant and, at the same time, preventssmoke.

Althoughl the po wer plant isequipped with a railroad siding thecoal is almost always received illtruck deliveries. Thlis method of de-livery has been fotind more conven-ient in the haidling of the fuel be-cause trucks bearing the coal calldump it directly into a pit providedfor the' purpose outside of the powerhouse. If rail deliveries were madeeither a special equipment or hanld-ling would be necessary to get thecoal hilto the pit.

Bunker Holds 300 TonsFrom the pit the coal goes to a Ste-'

phens Adamsoll Crusher which makesit of uniform texture, so that it can beeasily handled by the stokers. It is

lthen picked up by a bucket conveyorw~hich takes it to a b~ulker located onltop of the boiler house, from which it

.can be easily fed to the travellinlglorry. Thlis bunker has a capacity ofthree hundred tolls, so that the coal

its are ilocturiial. He does his bestand most efficienlt work in the dark."

Thus the beaver became the officialmascot of Technology and Technol-ogy men throughout intercollegiate cir-cles, and today the distinguishingmark of an Institute man in a gather-ing of men of all colleges is the greybeaver hat that he invariably wearson such occasions.

may l emain il it for as much as aweek, or sometimes even longer. Dur-ing this time it has an opportunityto dry out, and as a result greater ef-ficiency is obtained.

Since the plant uses between 65 and70 tolls of coal per day during periodsof heavy consumption the matter offuel is of particular importance, foralthough the small consumer mightnot notice the difference in heatvalue of two coals when more than tenthousand tonls are burned, the differ-ence becomes readily noticeable.

Although the boiler equipment canbe adjusted to use any grade of coal,experience has shown that the highestgrade gives the greatest efficiency ilthe end. For this reason when mak-ing the contract for the year's supplysamples from various dealers are care-fully tested. The coal is analyzed inthe Institute laboratories and this yearthe one selected showed 1.14 percentmoisture, 4.39 percent ash, 0.29 per-cent sulphur, 19.69 percent volatilematter, and 74.78 percent carbon.

This coal, which is sold by the nameof Captertons New River coal, couldnot be clinkered, and the contract for12,000 tolls of it was awarded to theStetson Coal Co. As might be expect-ed, such coal is much more expensive

than many other coals of very goodquality, but officials of the power planthave found that the use of the bestobtainable fuel was most economicalin the end.
