of mental work the student is in special need

of lots of exercise in the fresh ai- of out-doors. Some of us, but few, far too few,have been pretty regular at the gymnasiumduring the winter. That is good, and thereis no reason for giving up gymnasium workentirely as spring comes on, but indoor exer-cise should be varied as much as possible byoutdoor work.

We would urge in particular those whohave been doing little or no athletic workduring the winter, to come out at this time.You need the exercise. Institute athleticsneed you and your enthusiastic efforts andsupport. Many of you have done and coulddo really good athletic work, if you would.Kill two birds with one stone, then - benefityourself physically, improve your studyingcapacity, show your loyalty to your class andto your college, by putting your best footforward in some branch of Institute athletics.

D found mention of the articles.~z--: taken by the Juniors at a recent

e..~ " smoker." The class voted toX ;,' rpay for these steins, coffee-

- spoons, and other mementoswhich were appropriated, andunder the circumstances it was

the only proper action to take.Certainly it is not for us to deny that there

is a sort of romantic glamour, a pleasant kindof dare-devil excitement, in stealing out intothe black night to "swipe" a sign; but whenour own classmates are called upon to pay alarge bill, as a result of our thoughtlessness,we begin to look at the matter from another

THiE T""H I

point of view. It really was a fine thing toslip a coffee-spoon into our vest-pocket; tobe sure there wasn't the least danger of beingdetected, but we had a delightful sense ofbandit wickedness. Alas ! this pleasant feel-ing all disappears when we think that somepoor chap who has just scraped his class duestogether is paying the piper, when we did thedancing.

' AST week Ti-ni Tctil published an ac-

. count of the bravery of arTechnology graduate at thewreck of the steamship'' Walla Walla," oi the

.) California coast. It is notvery often in a lifetime that one has an oppor-tunity to test one's bravery and nerve, andwhen such a chance does arrive it is oftenlost in the excitement of the moment. WhenNwe see such an example of courage as in thecase of Mr. Kotschmar, we cannot suppressa thrill of admiration, especially when, as inthis particular case, the hero faces the dangersurrounded by cowards who do not lift afinger to help him. We cannot help appre-ciating how nobly his actions stand out whencontrasted with those of his companions, whow7ere filled only with a morbid sense of self-preservation.

Cross-country Association.The first hare and hounds- chase of the

spring was held from Arlington, March 15.Twenty-five men ran, in spite of the softfooting. A new style of trail was laid, con-taining many blinds, which resulted in thehounds losing considerable time and energyin following false scent, and made the runseem long, although the distance traversedby the hares was only a little over five miles.The trail led from Brattle Street easterly toMystic Lake, Winchester; northerly alongArlington Street; westerly to ArlingtonHeights, past the standpipe; southerly toward,

Spy Pond, and the finish along MassachusettsAvenue. The hares were Haynes, Flynnand Holcombe. All the hounds finished.

In accordance with the new constitutionof the association, nominations for president,secretary, captain, assistant captain and man-ager will be received by the secretary, Mr.W. P. R. Perber. Nominations close Thurs-day, March 27, 1902.

Trip of Forging Class.

The first of last week the classes in forging,under Mr. Lambirth, took trips to East Bostonin order to learn by observation how theheavier work in forging is accomplished.The first place visited was the LockwoodManufacturing Company, where hand workwas being done. This shop is of specialinterest to Mr. Lambirth, for it was in theearly sixties that he saw the first smoke risefrom its chimneys. The greater part of theafternoon was spent at the East Boston Forge.At these works scrap iron was being forgedtogether and heavy pieces hammered outunder the great steam hammers. Watchingthe heavy hammers was very interesting, andwith no four-o'clock gong to disturb them,the party did not break up until quite late inthe afternoon.

Mr. Dooley on Colleges.BY OLEO3fARGARIN-E x. GIUCOSE.

(With apologies to ~Mr. F. P. Dunne.)

"Did ye iver go to collige?" asked Mr. Hennessy." I niver did," answered Mr. Dooley, "but I had

me arr'm broken wanst in a hazin' party over toSchwarzmeister's, an' I can give a yill, which f'r pro-faynity wud make th' 'Tich yill blush Harvard crim-son. No wan nowadays wud dare to spake ill iv th'colliges. Iv'ry wan will swear that th' collige is th'boolwark iv th' nation, th' corner-stone iv liberty,an' th' stippin'-stone to success, an' it is all these an'more besidecs. If I had a son, I wud either makehim lay pavin'-stones or sind him to Harvard to laya few corner-stones an' stippin'-stones. Manny minthat are now tryin' to lay a corner-stone with a pairiv silver bon-bon tongs, had betther practise on th'pavin'-stone first. But look at all th' great min that'sbeen connicted with th' colliges. There's Carnaygie,an' Rockyfellar, an' Schwamb an' MNorgan."

" Goowan," said Mr. Hennessy, " they didn'tgradyate fr'm collige."

Perhaps they didn't," said Mir. Dooley, " but th'colliges all like thim just th' same. I see be th'papers that Carnaygie is goin' to build a grand ooni-versity in Washington. What a foine thing it wvill bewhin it is finished. All th' poor divils who are nowstarvin' f'r want iv a bite iv brid can go to th' ooni-versity an' learn th' pathitic story iv th' Spartan b'ywith th' Red Fox ailin' an' th' story iv Romulus rollin'down an inclined plane in a shpiked barrel. it is anoble sintiment to give money f'r iducational pur-poses to th' colliges. ' I will give ye tin trillion dol-lars,' says wan iv those rich min, 'on condition thatye raise an ayquil amount iv th' dirty stuff in threedlays. An' be th' way,' says he, pinsively passin' hishand over his brow, 'ye needn't mintion me name,'says he, ' but if ye do, be sure to print it in full,' sayshe.

" A few years ago, Hinnissy, befure thW hand-organgive way to th' hurdy gurdy, whin th' counthry wasin its first bloomin' youth, there was not much talk ivcollige. Trh' b'y that wanted to go to collige to digin mathematics had to dig potatoes first. 'Th' b'ythat filt like dloin' some Latin f'r th' sake iv humanity,had to do a little lathin' at home f'r his father. Th'counthry is noxv no longer in its bloomin' youth, butit is full iv thim. ' My son,' says a proud an' happyfather, ' my son,' says he, lookin' into his honest greeneyes, ' wud ye like to go to Harvard or to Dartmouthor to Princeton or to Yale, or to th' Ooniversity ivIdaho?' says he. ' I think I wud prayfer Harvard,'says th' apple iv his father's eye afther a moment's hisi-tation, f'r because I have seen it advertised on th'bill-boards th' most,' says th' apple. Thin Willie goesto Harvard f'r to lay corner-stones an' stippin'-stones;but bechune ye an' me, Hinnissy, I wudden't hirehim to lay a brick."

"Is Harvard th' only collige they is?" asked Mr.Hennessy.

"It is only wan iv th' only wans," said Mr. Dooley."Thin there is Yale an' Columbia an' Princeton an'Brown an' Cornill an' Tich an' Harvard-"

"Ye mintioned Harvard befure," said Mr. Hen-nessy.

"This is th' other part iv Harvard," said Mr.Dooley, " th' part that goes there to work an' to learn.It ought to be called ' Harvard Proper,' be right. Iniv'ry collige, Hinnissy, ye will find two classes ivstoodints: th' kind that advertises th' collige whilethey are in it, be the-er yills an' cheers; an' th' kindthat advertises th' school afther they have gradyated.If ye don't believe that collige is th' greatest thing onearth, ask th' collige stoodint. An' if ye iver haveoccasion to (layliver an addlriss befure a lot iv colligestoodints on Comnmincement T)ay, say somethin'original, like this: ' I see befure me to-day, me youngfrinds, th' min who will be th' future vothers an' fa-thers an' superintindents iv sthrates iv th' counthry.'Th' whole world lies befure ye, but see that ye don'tlie befure it. Ye stand on th' thrish-hold iv life,lookin' out upon th' billowy sea iv th' future, an' withth' bright beacon-light iv learnin' in ye-er hand riddyto mount to th' deepest height iv ye-er ambition. Bevirtue iv ye-er superiore trainin', it is f'r ye, me frinds,to take th' reins iv power into ye-er hands: it is f'rye to put on th' ermeen robes iv king-ship; it is f'rye to lead, to guide an' to insthruct ye-er fillow-mortals. Thank ye, gintlemin.' Thin go out, Hin-nissy an' tell th' fillow-mortals to prepare f'r th' worst.

"Th' good old-fashioned flickerin' fire-places atwhich great min used to study are gone, Hinnissy,an' in place iv each wan we have a fine, new collige,complete with all th' attachmints nicissary to turn outlaw-yers, an' docthers, an' ministers, an' taychers beth' hundhreds. In wan ind iv th' machine, ye putwan iv th' flowers iv th' risin' gineration, wan globulefr'm th' cream iv th' continent, an' in a little whilethere comes out at th' other ind a law-yer or a doc-ther or a taycher, wavin' his collige flag, wearin' hiscollige pin, smokin' his collige pipe, an' yillin' hiscollige yill. 'Tis a wonderful prociss, an' th' machineworks almost like a human bein'."

" But it's all right to have plinty iv law-yers an'iloethers, isn't it?" said Mir. Hennessy.

"I know that," said Mr. Dooley, "I know that,but think iv all th' fine auctioneers an' butchers we'velost."

Walker Club Play.A preliminary meeting of the candidates

for the Walker Club play was held lastFriday. Mrs. Nolan made a few temporaryselections for some of the parts, but on ac-count of nonarrival of books, nothing verydefinite was done.

Technology Chambers.

Work is rapidly progressing on the build-ing at the corner of St. Bo'tolph and IrvingtonStreets, which will no doubt next winter

be a pleasant home for many a Technologystudent. The brickwork is pretty well fin-ished up to the third-floor level, and a fairly

good idea can be formed of how the buildingwill look when completed.

One of the most noticeable features of the

structure is the large number of windows.The building will have its main entrance.on

St. Botolph Street (extended), and this willundoubtedly be the most attractive side of thebuilding. The main entrance will be backsome distance from the street, giving spacefor a large and roomy courtyard between twowings of the building. In this courtyardthere will be a grassplot, with settees'.

Within, the arrangement of the buildingseems to be admirable. The St. Botolph

Stieet entrance oplens into a large corridor,which can also be entered from IrvingtonStreet. This corridor leads to the elevatorand stairs, and also to the dining-room, club-room and billiard-room, which occupy abouttwo-thirds of the first floor. In the basementwill be two of the most attractive features

of the building -the gymnasium and theswimming-pool.

The living-rooms will occupy the southwestcorner of the first floor and all of the four

floors above. There will be about twentychambers and ten '"studies" on each floor,

so that there is one "study" for each twochambers. These are arranged to opendirectly into the study in most cases, but in

some only through the halls. This is a veryliberal allowance of study-room, and will

surely be appreciated. Altogether, the Tech-nology chambers promise to be very attractiveand convenient, and if conducted in the samespirit in which they have been planned andbegun, most worthy of success.

The -Thealregoer went to Captain Jinks ready tobe displeased and found it almost delightful. Thecomedy is a characteristic Clyde Fitch "show," apiece that props itself up with any sort of unnecessary"novelty"; that crowds on the stage characters whomay have a moment's witticism or comic stage-playand are not heard of again; that is full of so many-jokes you cannot escape being amused with a fewthat are good enough to hear twice and some othersthat happen to be new to you; that introduces sur-prise after surprise till nothing can be any longersurprising, and annoys your satisfaction at the happyclose by still another " situation " prodding you to besurprised once again; that is always, however, withwhatever extravagance of action, lively and awake;and that gives to one or two characters chance forreally charming acting.

Miss Barrymore, of course, is the play, and pleasespartly by a beautiful person, partly by a winning per-sonality. Not the least astonishing. element of hertriumph is the grace and positive loveliness which shesomehow charms into the appalling costume,- thatof the mountainous, humpback bustle of a generationago. Miss Barrymore has a magnificent voice, andher role fortunately calls for a slight drawling andaffectation of speech, which, being assumed in a half-laughing way, is not in the least offensive and showsto advantage the range and richness of her tones.The striking quality of the part is, in fact, sincere,simple womanliness constantly softening and some-times illuminating the superficial playfulness or silli-ness of the shrewd and successful opera star.

Sir Henry Irving upon his return to London willrevive FFaus with Miss Cecilia Loftus as Marguerite.Salvini coupled Mr. Irving's Mephistopheles with hisShylock in the comment that they were pieces ofacting hardly to be improved.

The three plays now exciting most interest on theEuropean stage all claim, as it happens, permanentliterary merit. Sudermann's Es Lehe dlas Le/en is anhysterical tragedy of modern politics, marital infidel-ity and suicide,- little likely, judging from reportedcriticism, to add to the author's already establishedreputation. Boston will see this season the best ofSudermann's plays given by an actress of first-ratepower. Heinmat, which appeared in January, r893,has usually been acknowledged as the author's strong- I

est drama, and has been made familiar to the Euro-pean stage by Modjeska, Duse and Bernhardt. Afffgda- as the English version is entitled, from theheroine's name- is to open Mrs. Patrick Campbell'sengagement of a week in April. Italy has gone wildover the passionate drama of Francesca da Riminiby the young and brilliant Italian poet and novelist,D'Annunzio. Public excitement has been so extremeas to require police regulation. The English stagehas witnessed for the past month Mr. StephenPhillips's third attempt to produce vital poetic drama.Mr. Phillips began his career as dramatist three yearsago, with Paolo and Francesca, the same subjectD'Annunzio has since very differently treated. Be-fore playwriting, Mr. Phillips's reputation as a poetwas established, chiefly by his Christ in Hadtes andthe classical narrative, I1/arpessa. The first play,though poetically beautiful and though carefully pre-sented by Mr. Beerbohm-Tree, seemed in actingineffective. Herod, the next year, was dramaticallystronger and poetically not inferior. Ulysses beganits run February last with Mr. Tree in the title role,and from all accounts no care or expense was sparedin staging the play. The text, already published inAmerica, is full of very lovely passages and is inter-esting as proof that Mr. Phillips can write poetry aslovely as that of his previous plays yet quite differentin subject. It is hard to believe, however, that theplay on the stage can escape being ludicrous. Theprologue of gods on Olympus chaffing Zeus for hisamours must be distressing; and the descent intoHades - even in reading, a feeble variation of theChrist in Hades- must in dramatic presentation beat least grotesque. Mr. Phillips seems again to havesucceeded in writing a noble dramatic poem but aninadequate poetic drama.

I903 Class Meeting.

A meeting of the Junior Class was held onThursday last in Room I, with PresidentLee in the chair. After the reading of theminutes of the previous meeting Mr. Taylor,the chairman of the Class Smoker Committee,made a statement concerning the articlestaken at the two recent " smokers." It iscertainly a very gratifying thing to be ableto state that only three coffee-spoons were"swiped" at the last gathering, in place ofthe larger number of assorted articles takenat the previous meeting. Mr. Taylor statedthat such an action must have been merethoughtlessness on the part of the class, and

it certainly does seem to betoken a rathergeneral absent-mindedness on the part of theJuniors. But now that attention has beencalled to the matter, it is probable that nosuch action will occur again. It was votedby the class -- or rather by those members ofthe class who show enough interest in classactivities to show up at class meetings, to payfor the articles taken by their absent-mindedclassmates.

It was decided to hold a Junior Prom., andthe following committee was chosen: Davis(chairman), Mcintosh, Seyms, H. S. Baker,Harris, Drury.

The date of the Prom. has not been defi-nitely fixed, but Thursday, April 24, hasbeen thought of. We hear that Techzniquecomes out the morning of that same day.

Mr. Howes mentioned the matter of hold-ing a class dinner of a more informal char-acter than hitherto, and it was voted thatarrangements be made to hold one.

M. I. T. Y. M. C. A.

At last Tuesday's meeting Mr. L. R.Moore, president of Prospect Union, Cam-bridge, told of the work of Harvard men inconnection with this social settlement; thework of Tech men at Fort Strong and in theBoys' Club at St. Stephen's Church was alsodiscussed. Next Tuesday Rev. A. E. Cross,assistant pastor of the Old South Church, willspeak.

Mining Engineering Society.

The Mining Engineering Society held ameeting Friday, March I4, at 4 P.vr. Mr.Cates, the president of the society, introducedMr. F. A. Thamsch as the speaker of theoccasion. Mr. Thamsch spoke about miningin South America. He paid particular atten-tion to the mining of nitrate of soda in Chile.The lecture was doubly interesting becauseit was founded on personal experiences.

There is to be a dinner of the ChicagoClub, Thursday, March 20, at Mieusset'srestaurant, Washington Street, at 6.I 5 . AllChicago men are urged to come.

There will be a meeting of the Technol-ogy Forum, 1905, next Friday afternoon at2.30, in Room 22, Rogers.

The following appointments in the Fresh-man Battalion have been made: CompanyE: Corporals: D. H. Nicholson, E. F.Kriegsman.

The following corporals have been ap-pointed in the Chdet Battalion: CompanyA: H. A. Holz, C. R. Shaw; CompanyC:W. G. Ball.

In a recent issue we stated that ProfessorBardwell had been in Mexico, looking aftersome mining interests. To say the least, thisis' slightly inaccurate. Professor l3ardwell isin Mexico at the p:esent time, and has gonethere in the interests of the rubber industry,and is investigating rubber plantations.

THE TIeCH has been requested to call at-tention to the fact that members of the JuniorClass are now eligible for membership in theTechnology Club; also, that should the un-dergraduate membership limit be reachedsoon, that after the Ist of April all membersof the Senior Class will then be eligible.The undergraduate list is limited to sixty.

Much excitement has been aroused overthe appearance of a pile-driver on the siteof the Walker Memorial Gymnasium. Thereal purpose of its being there is not, how-

ever, to begin work on the building. It is tobe used in testing the solidity of the groundunder the new Electrical Building, so thatthe vibrations so noticeable in the presentphysical laboratories may be avoided, as faras possible.

We take the following clipping from Mon-day's Transcrilp : " Pres. Henry S. Pritchettof the Massachusetts Institute of Technologyspoke yesterday afternoon in the hall of theNorth Bennet Street Industrial School, underthe auspices of the Civic League HouseManagement. His subject was: ' Opportu-nities for Industrial Education.' The lecturewas one of the Sunday course arranged byMeyer Bloomfield, director of the CivicLeague House Work."

We take the following clipping from theAormy and Nav' _ouirnal. It brings out thefact that the Naval Academy has lately beenfalling behind its outside contemporaries asan institution of engineering. "In his state-ment before the Naval Committee of 'theHouse, recently quoted here, Admiral Mel-ville declared that there were several institu-tions in the country that are now turning outbetter engineers than they do at the NavalAcademy; and he explained that it ,was hisdesire to make the Academy an engineeringschool which shall graduate engineers ascapable as those trained at the Boston Insti-tute of Technology, Cornell University orStevens Institute. "

It may be of interest to Course XIII. menthat the first prize of the ]For;est and Shreamdesigning competition for the best all-round25-foot waterline cruising sloop, and also theprize offered by Mr. Zerega of the NewYork Yacht Club for the best arranged cabinplan, were captured by a yacht designed byMr. Morgan Barney, I90o.

The conditions were: that anyschool could send but two representatives,and the school winning the largest numberof points in four years should win the cup.The best eight men in the competitive drillreceive points,- the first man wins eightpoints, and so on down to one point. Thusit is possible for a school to win fifteenpoints. It has been voted that the Technol-ogy Battalion shall not be represented.

The cup is now held by St. John's Mili-tary Academy, New York. This school woneight points three years ago. On account ofdifficulties in the military department therehave been no drills for the past two years.It is hoped this year to resume the competi-tion.

The'drill will be held about April 25. Abattalion of Tech companies will give an ex-hibition drill. It is hoped that the proceedswill be devoted to a field day of the wholebattalion.

The affair is in the hands of Freshmanofficers, who have formed an association.The officers are: Capt. F. S. Elliott, presi-dent; Capt. W. E. Simpson, treasurer, andR. W. Morse, secretary.

Technology Song-book Committee.

At a meeting Monday afternoon the I904Technology Song-book Committee decidedthat in order to bring forth the most desirableKommers book, the following plan be pur-sued:

Each class is to appoint ten of its membersto meet with the ten from the Sophomoreclass, forming a committee of forty, which isto elect from among the undergraduates acertain number of men of recognized literaryand musical ability, to publish the book. Thenumber of men on this board is to be deter-mined by the committee of forty. The board,assisted by such help from the alumni as itmay secure, will have full charge of thepublication of the song-book; but the largercommittee will be retained as a sort of advi-sory council, to assist the board itself.

The president of each class has alreadybeen notified of this decision, and it is hopedthat prompt action will be taken, in orderthat the board may be elected and proceedwith its work immediately.

Senior Class Dinner.

The Senior dinner held at Young's Hotellast Friday evening was a grand success. Itwas proved that Technology's spirit is not aminus quantity by any means. A very pleas-ant feature of the evening was a visit fromthe Class of '75, which was holding its annualdinner in the same hotel. After a very satis-factory dinner the evening was turned overto R. V. Brown, toastmaster, who made someremarks which were very fitting to the occa-sion, and then called on L. S. Cates to respondto the toast, "The Spirit of I902." Theresponse was ably given and warmly received.Then followed toasts from C. A. Sawyer,A. E. Lombard and C. WV. Kellogg, whichwere greatly appreciated, the last namedespecially. Besides the more formal speechesthere were many interesting and well-toldanecdotes of Institute life by others present.H. K. Hooker sang two solos, a quartettefrom the Glee Club sang and K. Grant playedthe piano. At the end of the evening theclass sang the new Tech song, and aftergiving the class yells dispersed.

Every Tech student who has lately had occasionito visit the Engineering buildings must have noticeda sign, " Exhibition of Pictures ofFair Women," done in a style ofprinting which makes Ch-rlieA--ms's two-dollar letter plateslook like a cheap handbill. THF

L[,UNG(;FR saw the sign, and decidedto see the.women. What a gloriousthing it is to visit an art exhibition !After you have recovered' from the A -.

first shock of a lightened pocket-book, you have the delightful feel-ing that you are- a patron of art.Then you buy a catalogue and proceed to go therounds, allowing so much time for each picture, andmumbling every now and then something about highlights, middle distances, depth of feeling and delicacyof detail. If a certain picture seems to you to be aparticularly bad jumble of mushiness, you should step

farther off, put an idiotic smile onyour face, cock your head to one sideand say "Ah, I thought so !" Thiswill create a profound impression onthe people around you, and serves tohide your ignorance of fine art. Butto come back to the women. On the

walls were hung many pictures. There were women withblue eyes, black eyes, brown eyes and glass eyes.There were women with swanlike necks, short, strongnecks and alabaster necks. But THE LOUNG.R hasbeen trying to learn ever since why the affair was notcalled a " Prohibition of Fair Women," instead of an"exhibition," for most of the womenwere such as few conductors wouldstop a car for even on signal. Apicture, THE LOUNGER takes it, may be made by putting paint on some-thing else. When you have put onthe right paint in the right places, -_you have made a picture. Other-wise you have made a fool ofyourself. Not every one is a judge of fine pictures,but almost every one thinks he is a judge of beautifulwomen, and THE, LOUNCGER swears by his beard that

__I__II� ___

he could find more beautiful women on TremontStreet in a single hour than he could find at theexhibition in a week. Perhaps he has no eye fortrue awu. Perhaps a framed woman with a facethat looks as though it were made of putty is morebeautiful than a lively, bright, vivacious girl, such asyou see now and then. Perhaps a cardboard dressand a fluted halter around the neck are more.artisticthan the filmy, frothy, dress materials, such as mousse-line de sole, ci pe de chtine, or peale de c)gne, whichremind you so much of an ice cream soda and seemso immaterial. Intermingled with the " fair women "there were some pictures of noted society leaders.THE LOUNGER couldn't help smiling to himself whenhe saw *the resolute and courageous face of somemighty and mature matron nestling between a coupleof stolid-looking queens of former days. While atthe exhibition he was very respectful to the pictures,and he bowed his head with the crowd- to the greatmasters. He refrained from grinning when he stoodbefore the picture of a woman who looked as thoughshe hadn't had a square meal for a month. He wasvery careful to gage his. distance when looking at apicture of the impressionistic school. Yet he wasglad when he went out to see once more the familiartrashy "Florodora" posters, to skip along the streetgrinning when he felt like it, frowning when he felt

like it, whistling when he felt like it. Put the picturesof all the old fogies, all the old fishy-eyed, stiff-necked, parrot-beaked queens behind sheets of glassin an awl gallery, and you will have an exhibitionworth going to see -- provided you put on the otherside of the glass some up-to-date, lively, merry,happy, -living girls with catalogues in their hands,smiles on their faces and nothing ifi particular on theirminds.

THE LOUNGER has always had a more tenderlysentimental love for the Walker Building than forRogers, partly because it doesn't contain the secre-tary's office, partly because A-lo B-t-s doesn't lecturethere, but above- all because, while he couldn't takethe elevator up to Chem. Lab., he could slide downthe balusters, ai la T-mmn- P-p- and Mr. H-ll. Butnow, alas, he can do so no more. It seems that theclass in carpentry and wood turning was recentlyworking on a set of little knobs like those on theRogers balusters, and, soon after, these wartlikeexcrescences appeared on the shiny railings inWalker.

Won't some youthful protOgee who wants to win THELOUNGER'S everlasting love saw them off, and makefree use of plane and sandpaper?
