HE strength of a col-771S rlege is in its alumni,

and from the enthu-siasm of these, Tech-

____ - ~nology is daily gain-ing her inspiration.

The sons of the old graduates are coming amongus with the same loyalty to family traditionwhich sends hundreds of men annually to Har-vard and to Yale. The Associations of theAlumni are increasing in number and instrength year by year, and it is most impor-tant for the undergraduate body to keep intouch with their development. The Secreta-ries of the alumni organizations have beenpainstaking in their efforts to aid Alma Mater.Mr. Collins of the Northwestern Associationrecently sent us a full account of the meetingat Chicago, and Mr. McKim, a former Editorof THE TECH, and Secretary of the year-old

New York Society, has furnished us-with theminutes of its first dinner. An account of thisaffair will be published next week, and wethink no Technology man can read it with-out an answering thrill of loyalty and pride.

N a recent speech before the alumni ofBrown University, President Eliot made

the first public announcement of a proposedchange in the requirements for the Bachelor'sdegree at Harvard. This change has beenunder consideration for some time, and at arecent faculty meeting it was voted by a smallmajority to reduce the number of courses re-quired for a degree from eighteen to fifteen,and to give a degree to any man who passesin twelve of the fifteen courses. This practi-cally means a three-year course for the gener-ality of students. The majority in favor of thechange was so small that the vote was notconsidered final. It seems unfortunate thatour oldest educational institution should takethe initiative in lowering the requirements fora scholastic degree.

It is argued that the more rigid entrancerequirements and longer courses requiredin the professional schools, make a shortercollege course necessary. This does notseem sufficient cause for the change. If theentrance requirements have been made higherin mathematics, the tendency is to lessen themin languages, and the fact that four years arerequired for the medical and legal degrees, in-stead of three, is no reason for giving theBachelor's degree at the close of three years.

If, instead of shortening the time requiredfor a degree, the curriculum could be some-what contracted and the work of students beconcentrated on a few studies, a gain wouldbe made. American universities have already

TH222TH TEICH

an unenviable reputation for superficiality and"paper" degrees. "We have lost in depthwhat we have gained in breadth" by our all-embracing lines of study.

E are glad to learn that at the annualmeeting of the Boston Society of Civil

Engineers, on Wednesday evening, Marchi8th, Professor Geo. F. Swain was electedPresident of the society for the coming year.

HE advance sales of tickets for the lecturecourse in aid of the French and German

societies have not been as large as was ex-pected. It will be unfortunate if the debts ofthe clubs are not paid off at this time, andInstitute men should realize that a responsi-bility- for the maintenance of Technologycredit rests upon them individually. A smallattendance at these lectures will indeed be buta poor recognition of the generosity and publicspirit of the lecturers. We hope that manywho have not yet purchased tickets will seenot only the need of assisting L'Avenir andDer Deutsche Verein but also the great profitand entertainment accruing to themselves froman attendance at the rest of the lectures.

E trust that the Junior Week plays willbe well supported. In order that the

management may go on in their preparationswith confidence, it is absolutely necessarythat the larger part of the house should besold at an early date. The fact that one ofthe plays is an Institute play, written for theoccasion, and that the other introduces songsof Technology interest, words and musicwritten by Technology men, should makeevery loyal student resolve to go and do allin his power to give them the reception theymerit. Not every man can be 'an athleteand add the laurels of physical prowess to thehonor of his college; not every man can singor play in the musical organizations; notevery man can aid by acting in the plays; but

every man can give aid financially, and byhis presence make an enterprise like theJunior Week plays a success.

N view of the constantly increasing size ofthe afternoon gymnasium classes, and the

growing enthusiasm evinced by the studentsfor individual physical training, we feel thatthe article by Mr. Boos on the German Sys-tem of Gymnastics, beginning in this number,may prove of interest to those who havealready availed themselves of the privilegesof the "Gym," and serve as well to enlistothers in the cause of athletics at Technology.

z.E announce with sincere regret the resig-nation from the Board of Editors of TIHE

TECH of Mr. Ralph Spelman Whiting, forwhose efficient covering of the ArchitecturalDepartment, during the past year, we aredeeply indebted.

ROFESSOR BURTON, whose presencewe have all missed during the last six

weeks, will probably soon be with us again.Since we saw him last he has taken a trip toSwitzerland, whence he returns with his twosons, we trust, greatly refreshed, and readyto resume the work which Mr. Robbins hasso ably conducted during his absence. AllTechnology men will exterfd a hearty welcometo him who has ever been their kind and gen-ial helper.

HE record of 4 seconds made by Mr.Grosvenor, '98, in the 35-yard dash at

the Indoor meet, turns out to be, not only aWorld's record but a new World's record.The best previous time was 4- seconds madeby F. W. Lord, Dec. 15, I892. Mr. Gros-venor's timers were men well-known in ath-letic circles, and there can be no doubt butthat the record will be accepted. Technologyis proud of her new sprinter and congratulateshim.

THE Seventeenth Annual Scratch Gamesof the M. I. T. Athletic Club were held inthe Gymnasium, Saturday evening, MarchT4 th. The meet was fairly well attended, a

number of the fairer sex being present. Thelist of entries was small, but the standardwas unusually high. A new World's Recordin the 35-yard dash was established by Gros-venor, who made the distance in 4 seconds.The trial heats were run in fast time, andwere exceedingly close. The Tech recordof 4, seconds in the 35-yard dash was alsoreduced - second by Gray, who won the5novice event. Our athletes made a strongshowing, the work of the new men being par-ticularly noticeable.

During the evening an exhibition of clubswinging was given by Mr. E. F. Parks,Assistant Superintendent of the Y. M. C. U.,which was encored several times. An exhibi-tion of wrestling, lasting ten minutes, wasgiven by W. B. Haines and U. P. Paro, of theY. M. C.

She fixed them on my hat.With beating heart I watched her,

And then my anger rose,For caring n )t for new attire

She glued them on my clothes;And then at last relenting,

I saw with glad surprise,On me at last she rested them,

Physical Exercises and Their Beneficial

Influence.

[A short synopsis of the German System of Gymnasticsas conducted at the Technology Gymnasium by H. J.

Boos.]

IN regard to form and effect we distinguishbetween two great groups of motions, to wit:Exercises that require strength and skill, andExercises that require quickness and endur-ance.

EXTERNAL FORM OF MOTION.

In the exercises of the first group we havemainly a positive, independent, simple, or acompound form of motion following the restingposition, which attains the height of thedesired mechanical exercise more or lessrapidly, and then again relapses to a restingposition of the-muscles. No matter how manydifferent motions may follow a compound orcomplicated motion, the whole, as such, willalways remain an independent exercise,-asingle achievement that has a beginning, acrowning point, and an end, and which is nolonger the same exercise as soon as it isinterrupted at any point. In all exercises ofquickness and endurance we have an endlessgroup of rhythmically repeated motions, thesuccession of which may be interrupted at anytime without causing the exercise as such tolose its character. Running will always berunning whether we cover io or i,ooo yards.

In the first named exercises the number ofmotions is of an endless variety; in the latterwe have mainly a few well-known kinds ofmotion, although in all of them various exercis-ing changes in the starting position, in regardto the manner of execution, the number ofexercises and the rapid succession of the sameare possible.

According to the degree of such modifica-tions, motions of quickness may, in variousways, suffer in regard to their value as anexercise and lose their distinct character, thusresembling rather the exercises of strength andskill. Easy exercises of this class, on the

other hand, if often and rhythimay closely resemble exercis

Lastly, there are combinati(of exercises, for in all exerciit is possible to permit the unenof the body to perform, incertain exercises of strength aare, in brief, the great chaences between these two grexternalform. Of much giis the difference in regard to tUejfect.

THE mirrors between the white enameledcolumns of the upper dining room at Parker'sthrew out a hundred reflections of the crystalchandeliers as the members of the Juniordining club lighted their cigars at the burningtapers on the table, pushed their chairs back,and settled themselves in picturesquely com-fortable positions.

A short address of welcome by the Presi-dent, followed by the graceful introduction ofa clever toastmaster, and two or three wittyand apt responses from ' jolly good fellows "of the company, brought the listeners to thehighest pitch of enthusiasm and called forthuproarious cheers and applause. As the dinof a popular air, commendable in the singingonly in so far as it served to intensify the feel-ing of good fellowship, died away, the Toast-master attempted to introduce the next of hisbrilliant supporters, but riot broke out afreshas he proposed, " The Ladies!

IIFIF

Let the toast pass,

Drink to the lass,I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass,"

and announced that he would now call upona member famous alike for his originality andfor his devotion to the fair ones.

As this acknowledged champion of modernchivalry roused himself and stepped close to

the table, and paused for a momentary surveyof his audience, his handsome figure, gracefulattitude, and the slight suggestion of careless-ness about his evening dress caused even hisintimates to admit to themselves that he hadnever appeared to better advantage, and itwas several moments before the ovation withwhich he was greeted gave place to the hushof expectancy.

At first he aimed a score of witty shafts atthe dear ones for whom he was answering,causing many a laugh at their expense, then,lapsing into a more serious vein, he said:"Happy is the man, perhaps, who, gloryingin his independence, lives on day by day ashis fancy leads him, but safer far is he whogains his inspiration from some fair face, orproudly holds in his possession some tokenindicative of the confidence and trust of atrue woman!" and as he spoke, his handwhich meanwhile had been nervously tuggingat his coat tail pocket in search of his hand-kerchief, returned to the region of his face,and from his finger tips there unrolled in fullview of his sympathetic listeners-not thespotless kerchief which he sought, but some-thing which like a flash carried him back tothat supper at the " Prom." the night beforea pair of long white ball gloves, their endswoven with narrow ribbons.

It was two hours later, and the hands ofthe wall clock in the dingy South End Caf6,but dimly seen through the heavy cloud oftobacco smoke, had nearly finished their firstcycle in the new day.

At one of the smaller tables with which theplace was crowded, in the midst of the hum ofvoices, clinking of glasses and occasionalbursts of noisy laughter from the groups ofmen and women, five young men were sit-ting, sipping their cocktails between puffs oftheir cigarettes, and gazing carelessly about.They were rising now to leave-" Wherenext, boys?" and he cuts short his words as,

reaching into his pocket, his fingers barelytouch a roll of kid, a bit of ribbon--" China-town?" "No, I guess not to-night, fellows;I think I'll go hpme."

Those Changing Skies.

Sometimes, dear love, methinks thine eyes are blue,The sweet uncertain blue of summer skies;When o'er the glad earth, misty clouds arise

And veil the depth of azure heaven's hue.

And then again rethinks thine eyes are grayLike sober, clouded skies. I see their lightGrow darker, as the dusk now fades to-night,

And in my heart all brightness dies away.

Oh, fond, sweet eyes that change with every thought,I take thee for my own and only sky;

And pray sometime the veiling mists may partIn rosy glow, by sunbeams backward caught.

Some day, sweetheart, through love of thee, may IKnow all the wealth and beauty of thy heart.

The management of the '98 Baseball team

complains of a certain apathy in the class,

and a reluctance among the players to comeout and try for the team. One very fine

pitcher, in particular, remains obdurate. It

is Ninety-eight's last contest and, if the team

is supported with enthusiasm, may be a

victorious one; but such is not the prospectat present.

The following is a list of the Patronesses

of the English plays: Mrs. Chas. FredAllen, Mrs. John T, Bradlee, Mrs. Davis R.

Dewey, Mrs. Thomas Doliber, Mrs. John J.French, Mrs. A. Lawrence Lowell, Mrs.

wick, Mrs. Francis A. Walker.

The old rope testing machine of the labo-

ratory of Applied Mechanics has been greatlyimproved by the addition of new levers, mak-ing it much more delicate than before. It is

now up to the standard of the other machines,both in delicacy and appearance. This year

the small torsion machine, which was formerly

employed only for thesis work, has been used

for regular class work, and some very curiousresults have been obtained from tests made

upon rolled iron wire. The regular labora-tory work will be finished about April 2d, thusleaving the machines free for thesis work.

All the squads of the Freshman Battalionhave now begun work in the School of the

Company. From this time on, the drill in the

Armory will have a direct bearing on the

competition with Brown. It devolves on the

Class of '99 to wipe out the defeats which theTrack Team and the Banjo Club have suf-

fered at the hands of our rival within the lastmonth, and this means that the men have got

to modify the popular Tech. theory of Mili-

tary Drill, and get down to work everyWednesday afternoon from now until May.Here is a chance to show what kind of Col-lege spirit we have at the Institute.

The Civil Engineering Society held its lastregular meeting on Monday evening, March

I6th. Room II, Rogers Building, was filled

by students and their friends, who came out

to hear Professor Swain deliver a talk on the

"Subway." All were anxious to obtain offi-cial information in regard to this project,

which is alike of interest to engineering and

commercial enterprise. Beginning with abrief discussion of the five plans submitted as

a solution of Boston's transportation question,Professor Swain stated the reasons why a sub-way was considered by the commission to be

best fitted to meet all the difficulties, and then

gave a comprehensive description of themethods of construction. Many questions

were asked afterwards by those students whohave been unable to solve for themselvesquestions arising from observation during the

growth of the subway. These were all cheer-fully answered by the speaker. The CivilEngineering Society grants rare privileges to

its members and its friends through having asits most enthusiastic member the director of

the Civil Engineering Department of Tech-

nology and a prominent member of Boston'sSubway Commission.

My Sweetheart.I love to kiss her bonnie face

And hold her hand in mine,I love each dainty winsome grace;

I love her eyes divine.

I love her for the kindly wordWhich means less than her smile,

Her voice-the sweetest ever heard-My heart can quite beguile.

I've loved her well for many years;There ne'er was such another

To share my sorrows and my tearsLike her-nmy friend, my Mother.

He deplored the lack of trainingand interest, which was evinced by certainmen on the team. Despite the want of strongsubstitutes and the fact that our opponents iri-variably possessed heavier teams, no dateswere canceled. But a small number of seasontickets were purchased, which seriously em-embarrassed the team financially. Thereportshowed that four games had been played onhome grounds and five away from home. Twogames were canceled by opponents at suchshort notice that it was impossible to obtainsubstitutes. The Constitution was then readby the President.

TrHE TE CH2

THE Lounger has been informed that the offi-cial organ of the Sugar Mill has done him thehonor of copying in extenso one of his recent lucu-brations apropos of the anti-tobacco zealots of thatinstitution, making his remarks the butt of eloquentinnuendo and biting sarcasm. After apologizing toits readers for clipping articles from THE TECH, anapology which the Lounger trusts was accepted, theorgan proceeds to vent an unwonted amount of spleenin savage criticism of the Lounger's remarks, uncon-sciously displaying a most amusing eagerness to saysomething "real horrid" about the Lounger's sympa-thetic comments on the prohibition of smoking withinthe precincts of B. U. These comments the editorialharshly characterizes as a "puerile attempt at criti-cism," and realizing the gravity of the situation thinksit its duty to "set the matter right." It charges theLounger with the "grossest ignorance of the subject ofwhich he treats." The Lounger regrets exceedinglythat The Beacon's editors have worked themselvesinto so great an access of anger. Of course theLounger has not the slightest desire to curtail theliberties of the B. U. [itlerateurs, who have an un-doubted right to indulge their passions even at therisk of printing editorials which can cause only aripple of amusement in the minds of those somewhatmore endowed with "horse-sense." The prohibition,eagerly explains The Beacon, applies only to the cor-ridors and recitation rooms at the institution, and notby any means to the private life of the student. Thiswas, indeed, a surprise to the Lounger, who had notdreamed, of course, that the new and delightful rulewas framed to prevent the B. U. student from puffinga cigarette in the face of a respected lecturer. Then,with a suspicious eagerness, it protests that the stu-dent body unanimously approves of the regulations.This is a rather tardy acknowledgement, to be sure,but the Lounger easily discerns the motive. And theeditorial closes with a firm, but politely worded, regret

at the inability of the B. U. students to accept theLounger's well-meant offer of hospitality, adding, as aclincher, that "Boston University, both Faculty andStudents, can get along very well without any outsidehelp," which clincher loses somewhat in effectivenessfrom the fact that the B. U. seems more than glad toavail itself of the privileges of the Technology labora-tories.

It always pains the Lounger to be misunderstood;and such fierce criticism as the above, couched insuch convincing terms, is indeed a cruel blow. Hecan only suggest to The Beacon that it cultivate alittle less precipitancy in its editorials, a little moreregard for the conventionalities of the mother tongue,and finally, that it buy a nice new copy of TheCentury Dictionary, and look therein under the wordj-o-k-e. The knowledge gained will be of servicein enabling The Beacon to keep from appearing in aridiculous light another time.

As a general moral, the Lounger draws from theaffair one more confirmation of the theory that thefeminine mind is lacking in a sense of humor.

The success of the Open Scratch Games is a sub-ject for congratulation. The attendance was good,more particularly in comparison with the minus quantityat the Winter meet. The fair sex was present in en-couraging numbers, accompanied by the season'sponderous headgear, and the Lounger's attention wassomewhat divided between a fair damsel with a largecrimson bow at her throat and the athletes who strug-gled for glory and silver-plated cups below in thearena. The arena was not really below, but this is arhetorical term called a trope which sounds rather well.Lastly, the sight of Curtis and of Lord disportingthemselves in their old familiar way gladdened thecockles of the Lounger's heart with memories of for-gotten days.

AFTER THE RAIN.

The wind comes loitering through the woodsWith a drowsy whisper among the leaves;The raindrops fall, and the swallow's call,

Under the eaves.

The mists are rent, and the hills are hungWith the cloth of gold that the sunshine weaves;The drops still fall, and the swallows call

Under the eaves.

THE JESTER.

Afool's a fool,And a man's a man,

And each is one or the other.But remember, pray,TVhen you've aught to say,

That a man may be a fool's brother.

Pietro, the Jester, sang this song,Long since, to the jingle of cap and bells;

Whether the sentiment's right or wrong,Nothing but sad experience tells.

Pietro is dead, long years ago,And the wise men who smiled at his feeble jest-

Why, strange to say, it has happened so,That they are dead like all the rest.

Oh! a fool's a fool,And a man's a man,

And life is a merry jest;But wzhether a man'sA fool or a man,

Is a riddle like all the rest.- rale Courant.

To one less fortunate than II turned and gave. The beggar said

" This is. my due," and went awayAnd spent my coin for bread.

And sighed. His coin he laid away,And starved, and spent it not.

A VIKING LOVE SONG.

The North lights shine! Across the wintry seaI see their flashes rave!

Woden is mighty! the Valkyries comeA woman's soul to save.

I call thee to- my side! What tho' the lightsFlash in the sky and sea!

Valhalla's drawbridge falls! The Hero's soulEnters full gloriously!

0 make my heart Valhalla for thy soul!The halls of heroes blest!

0 be the rainbow bridge of Love thy guideIn me to find thy rest!

Then shall my soul rejoice with ecstasyForever to be free!

O let the drawbridge of the rainbows fall!Enter full gloriously!

-Red and Blue.HER COMING.

Why, what is this ?-but yesterdayThe country side was bare-

With sodden field and naked woodAnd nipping icy air-

Now skies are soft with rifted blue-The wintry gray between,

And over hill and sunny meadDawneth the first faint green-

But well I wot the reason why,For there but yesterday,

With daffodils tucked in her belt,Fair Lydia did stray-

And misled by her eyes' soft lightAnd hair's gold shimmering-

All nature woke from wintry sheenMistaking her for Spring.

- Williams Weekly.

A ROSARY.

Upon the rosary that we call LifeThe beads are days;

Erewhile each seemed to mean but toil or strifeIn blind and bitter ways.

Thy coming, sweet, thy presence like a spell- -

O joy thereof!Hath wrought the change, the matchless miracle,

For now each bead means Love!-The Lotus.

TO --

Bright are thine eyes as the lone North StarLast night as it gleamed on high,

And thy voice is as low as the meadow brook's flow'Neath the sun-hidden brooks where the violets grow,

Caressed by the West Wind's sigh.Heaven unsought by men will beEre its fair realms are blessed by Thee.

OF HAMILTON PLACE BOSTON.

Week beginning March 30, 1896.Boston .Miuseum.-- I The Gay Parisians"

continue to delight the audiences which crowd theMuseum from pit to dome. Not since May Irwinwas here has there been such a laughter-provokingplay as this presented by the English Company.The piece is immensely entertaining and wellacted, and the interesting curtain-raisers are anothergreat attraction, the famous " Little Tuesday," thechild actress, taking the leading part.

Tremont Theatre. Mme. Bernhardt hasbeen giving Bostonians a rare treat this week, andnext week she will again present "Adrienne Le-convreur," which produced such a sensation duringher former visit to America. The second week'srepertory also includes '' Fedora," 1' La Tosca,""Gismonda" and "La Dame aux Carmelias."

Castle Square Theatre.-The public haveagain been treated to a week of " Chimes of Nor-

mandy," that most popular opera which alwaysdraws crowded houses, and no one should fail totake advantage of this opportunity to hear it.Wolf is at his very best as old " Gaspard;" it isbetter suited to him than any character he has everplayed, and his many admirers are ever readyto show their appreciation of his work.

Boston Theatre. Nothing more brilliantor extravagantly beautiful has been seen on thestage than " Gismonda" as presented by MissDavenport, and during her entire engagement therewill be a succession of magnificently staged plays.Miss Davenport has endeared herself to the Ameri-can public, and the engagement will be a greatsuccess, without doubt.

Park Theatre.-Mr. Robert Hilliard is play-ing to crowded houses at the Park Theatre. Theexcellence of his work has made this comedy, "Lost-24 Hours," one of the sensations of the season.The characters of the play are all good, and thecomedy full of refined amusement, and the littleone-act play, " The Littlest Girl," one of the greatattractions.

ilollis Street Theatre. William H. Cranewill begin his engagement at the Hollis March 3othwith the play " His Wife's Father." It is hardlynecessary to mention more than this, for Mr-.Crane's name is as big a drawing card as a theatrewants, no matter what he plays. He is, and al-ways has been, one of our most attractive actors.
