ROPE DRIVES

C. B. Sawyer Addresses Mechani-cals On Methods.

Last Wednesday afternoon MAi. C.B. Sawyer of the Dodge Sales & En-gineering Co., spoke before the Me-chanical Engineering Society on thesubject of Rope Drive.

Two systems are in use, the Englishand the American. The English sys-tem consists of a large number of in-dependent loops of rope passing overthe pulleys, while the American sys-tem has only one long rope which ispassed around the pulleys a sufficientnumber of times and also around atightener. The English system canonly be used at low speed and can-not be used to advantage vertically.It also causes trouble because of thefact that the different ropes are al-most never at the same tension. Thussome ropes are carrying the greater parof the load and soon wear out. In the

The Junior Class held their annualdinner last night at the Union andassembled some 202 men.

The gathering was by far the larg-est in the history of the class; thefreshman dinner bringing out 184,and the Sophomore banquet only 137.In comparison with recent class din-ners at the Union, the affair of lastnight was the largest held at theUnion or elsewhere.

The class assembled at the Unionat 6.30 o'clock and shortly after piro-ceeded to the dining room below. Byspecial arrangement with StewardColton an excellent men¶ was served.The committee on the dinner was atfirst skeptical about raising the pricefrom fifty to seventy-five cents. Theirreason for the innovation was chieflyto be able to give a more attractivedinner.

RELAY TEAMS

Varsity And Freshman Teams ToBe Chosen.

The first time trials for the varsityand freshman relay teams were heldTuesday; all relay candidates will betimed during this week. These areonly preliminary time trials but theNhave a very important bearing on thefinal selection of the teams that areto run in the B. A. A. annual gameson February 5, when the varsity racesDartmouth and the freshman meetHoly Cross and Dartmouth in a tri-angular race.

There will be a cut made in thetrack squad immediately after the In-terclass Track Meet. The room andtime for handling such a large num-ber is not adequate and it is impera-tive for the success of the teams thatthey receive more room and time.

It is also especially important thatall members of the squad report forthe Interclass meet next Saturday.Those desiring to remain on the listof candidates ought surely to put inan appearance for this meet.

STATISTICS

Statistics just issued show that the.average standing of fraternity stu-dents during the past year has beerthe same as that of the other stu-dents. This record slightly exceedsthat of the previous year.

The comparison of the classes showsthat the average of the second yearis below that of the first; the thir(year equals the first; and that thesenior average is the highest.

In the activities, the men in athleItics and those on the Tech, Technique, and the Monthly, stand above the

average, while those in the Show(1914) and in musical clubs do noshow so good a rating.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 191.a

Congratulations are due the JuniorClass on the unusually large attend-ance at the class dinner and the en-thusiasm which characterized thewhole evening. It is particularlyworthy of note that they did notbreak away from the custom of hold-ing class dinners in the Union inspite of the fact that it was their last3 ear on this side of the river, andthat the ever present temptation ofgoing to a hotel was unusually strong.It wivs demonstrated pretty clearlylast night that it matters not so muchwhat or where you eat as with whomyou are eating.

THE YEARLY TRAGEDY.

The spectacle of one or two hun-dred students leaving the Instituteevery February, distressing as it is,probably gets little more than a pass-ing thought and is regarded as in-evitable. Failures may be roughly as-signeo to three causes: a non-scien-Iifc mental makeup, willful neglect ofwork, and worry due to an over-who!ming sense of unperformed tasks.

Little can be said of those who fallin eicher of the first two classes ex-cept that it better for all that theys:^uld leave; it is the third class thatr1ally d(eserves the best thought thatcan be brought to bear upon it. Menwho go to pieces in their examina-tions, lae.ln who are forced to leave inthe middle of the term to avoid a ner-vous collapse-these men lose a wholeyear out of their lives; or may evenbe forced to abandon an ideal forwhich they have been striving alltheir lives.

It is usually conceded that if theInstitute has trained a man how toconcentrate and to efficiently use histime it has succeeded as far as thatman is concerned. The overwhelmingsense of unperformed duties, whichleads first to a chronic state of gloom,and finally to failure or breakdown, isdue to nothing else than inability toconcentrate and to efficiently employtime. Yet nowhere in the curriculumcan there be found the slightest hintor suggestion as to how to cultivate

tion, and other classes of melody thathas ever been suffered or enjoyedsince the founding of the clubs backin the dark ages. The only complaintabout this statement that has beenheard to date, has emanated from theoffice of the janitors union, the mem-

-bers thereof prolaiming violentlyagainst too much rag by the BanjoClub, since the time elapsing betweenthe close of the concert and the 9.00o'clocks on Saturday is not sufficientfor getting rid of the huge quantitiesof plaster knocked off the ceiling bymadly stamping shuffling feet doingfox trots with the chairs.

As an added attraction the clubsmanagement has secured the servicesof a well known reader, a Tech manwho has mixed "Applied" with elec-tion and secured very entertaining re.sults. He will interpret anything andeverything from an English dude to aSouthern darkey and back again.

This being positively the last ap-pearance of the clubs before the tripand probably the last in Boston be-fore the Spring Concert, every Tech-nology man with the proper spirit isexpected to attend and show loyaltyto one of the organizations whichhelp put his Alma Mater onthemap.The Chemical Society is starting theirmeeting at 7.30 o'clock so that anyman wanting to go to both may hearone of the first speakers at the for-mer and all of the latter very con-veniently as the concert will not be-gin until about 8.15.

ROPE DRIVES(Continuea from Page One)

American system all parts of the ropedrive are under the same stress andfrequently last for fifteen or twentyyears.

In modern practice leather beltingis commonly used in the transmissionof up to about 500 horse power, abovewhich rope drive, is used. This is dueto the fact that rope drive is almostnoiseless, costs less to install and lessto maintain, and is adapted to a widevariety of different applications. TheAmerican system has an efficiency inany given case about 10 percent high-er than the English system.

Before the talk began the names ofa number of candidates for member-ship in the M. E. Society were fav-orably voted upon.

these fundamentals. The student isleft to pick up odds and ends of use-ful information on these matterswherever he may be fortunate enoughto find them. The problem of apply-ing the scientific method to trainingin personal efficiency is yet to beworked out practically, but it wouldseem that Technology by the very na-ture of its purpose should lead theway as it has done already in somany other unconquered fields. Certainly the elimination of a very tragicphase of Institute life is worth themost careful and thorough considera-tion which the Faculty can give it.

NEW SUMMARIES OFTECHNOLOGY MEN

Total Registration Now ExactlyNineteen Hundred-Many

Foreign Students.The 1915-16 catalogue of the In-

Atitute shows a total student popu-ation of 1900, including post-grad-:ilte students, fellows, and those un-classified. During tlhe past year theupper classes have increased in num-bers far more than the lower classes,there being a decrease of 20 in thefirst year men as compared with anincrease of 30, 37 and 13 respectivelyin the men of the fourth, third andiecond years. This is due to theincreasing- number of students whocome to Technology from other col-leges.

The cosmopolitan character of thestudent body is manifest from itstotal of 120 foreign students, lhail-ing from five Asiatic, twelve Euro-pean and ten American nations. Bel-iunI, France, Switzerland, Sweden

and Canada are among the few coun-tries without representatives at Tech-n11ology.

Another feature of thle student list

is the decrease in the number of un-classified students, there being 458as compared with 474 in 1914. Thisis considered a good sign, inasmuchis considered a good( gain, inasmuchas the chief cause of unclassifiedregistration is failure to keep upwith the iegular requirements of thecourses.

CHESS MEET TONIGHTThis evening the second Technology-

Hlarvard chess match of the Metro-politan League will take l)atce at Fair-fax HIqall, Harvard. Inasmuch as theteams have so far broken even in thescores of this year's matches, to-night's game shoul l)rove one of thehardes;t contests of the season. Therespective siandling of Harvard andTechnology in the League practicallydepends on the result.

PROF. C. L. NORTON.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS(Continued from Page One)

One of these is his paper before Con-gress which is to take up the Sani-tary Aspects of Waste Disposal. In-asmuch as many of the countrieshave no regular national boards ofhealth alt. present, the timeliness ofsuch a discussion is self-evident. Oneof the missions of Professor Sedgwickin NWashington is to attend the meet-ings of the Advisory Council of theU. S. Public Health Service, of whichhe is a member, and in this connec-tion he will give two lectures to thestudent officers during his stay. Lastweek he took part in the annual meet-ing of the American Association ofUniversity Professors and this week

WILLIAM T. SEDGWICK, Ph.D.Head of Course VII

he represents the Massachusetts StateBoard of Health at a conference calledby the Amnerican Association for theControl of Cancer.

Another of the depjarllment headsin Washington is Professor Dugald C.Jackson of Electrical Engineering,who presents on Tuesday, to the Pan.American Congress, a paper discuss-ing the principles of technical educa-tion in schools like Technology in thiscountry. "The laboratories are theliving forces in such instruction," saidProfessor Jackson, "and in them thestudent must be thrown on his ownresources to execute the tests and in-vestigations assigned him."

In outlining the principles of in-struction under such conditions, Pro-fessor Jackson noted that the founda-tion of mathematics is absolutely es-sential with central components in theinstruction of chemistry, physic andapplied mechanics, but the course willnot be complete without the broaden-ing effect of history and economics.Professor Jackson further suggestedthe undergraduate gains by havingpost-graduate research work carriedon in the same laboratory.

On his way home from WashingtonProfessor Jackson will spend Wednes-day evening as the guest of the Tech-nology Club of Philadelphia which willhold a meeting at the Engineers Clubon Spruce street. The topic of theevening will be the one which is atthe moment in the public eye in Phil-adelphia; namely, "Valuations of Pub-lic Utilities" and Professor Jackson

will treat the matter from the e6ngin-eering point of view. This is differ-ent in some particulars from the legalmethod in that in addition to the actualphysical equipment, there is a value inwhat may be teilmed "intangibles,"which are actually property, but ofsuch nature that it is the court thatdetermines their value. It is usuallyexpected of engineers that they givesuggestions to the court,.but they arenot generally dealt with in detail bythem. The process is not an exactone, although there are some whohave so considered it.

HOCKEY NOTICE

The following men will take the 4.00o'clock train for Hanover- this after-noon: Clarke, Cochrane, Johnson,Swain, Thomas, Tutein, Wanamaker,,Woodward and Young. The lockerroom at the Arena will be open be-tween 1.00 and 2.00 o'clock when thesemen can get their uniforms.

There is truly no other typewriter on earth like this new Oliver"9." Think of touch so light thatkeys!

CAUTION !The new-day advances that come

alone on this machine are all con-trolled by Oliver. Even our ownprevious models-famous in theirday-never had the Optional Du-plex Shift.

It puts the whole control of 84letters and characters in the littlefingers of the right and left hands.And it lets you write them allwith only 28 keys, the least tooperate of any standard typewritermade.

Thus writers of all other ma-chines can immediately run theOliver Number "9" with morespeed and greater ease.

WARNING!This brilliant new Oliver comes

at the old-time price. It costs nomore than lesser makes--now out-of-date when compared with thisdiscovery.

For while the Oliver's splendidnew features are costly-we haveequalized the added expense to usby simplifying construction.

Resolve right now to see thisgreat achievement before you spenda dollar for any typewriter. If youare using some other make you willwant to see how much more thisone does.

If you are using an Oliver itnaturally follows that you want thefinest model.

17 CENTS A DAY Remember this brand-new Oliver "9"is the greatest value ever given in a

typewriter. It has all our previous special inventions-visible writing,automatic spacer, 61,/-ounce touch-plus the Optional Duplex Shift, Se-lective Color Attachment and all these other new-day features.

Yet we have decided to sell it to everyone everywhere on our fam-

ous payment plan-17 cents a day! Now every user can easily afford tohave the world's crack visible writer, with the famous PRINTYPE, thatwrites like print, included FREE if desired.

TODAY--- Write for Full Details and be among the first toknow about this marvel of

writing machines. See why typists, employers, and individuals every-where are flocking to the Oliver. Just mail a postal at once. No ob-ligation. It's a pleasure for us to tell you about it.

THE TECH, BOSTON, MASS., VRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1916 Page 4

THE TECH, BOSTON, MASS., FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1916

JUNIOR DINNER(Continued from Page One)

its three annual banquets; he spokeof Technology spirit in comparisonwith the so-called college spirit ofother educational institutions. TheDean brought out, very strongly, thepoint that the spirit which supportsathletic teams and which makes thebig thing of the, glamour of collegelife is not the moving force at theInstitute. The spirit which can pro-duce a Tech Show, or a collegiate an-nual such as Technique, however, isthe spirit of stamina and consistenteffort and, to a large degree, carefulplanning. This, the Dean maintained,is the true Technology spirit.

The next speaker to be introducedwas "Ike" Litchfield, Field Managerof the Alumni, and Editor of the Tech-nology Review. Mr. Litchfield spokeentirely about the plans for the dedi-cation of the New Technology nextJune. The Alumni have, by means ofvarious committees, made very ela-borate plans for the celebration of themost important milestone in the his-tory of Technology. The affair willofficially begin in New York, Sundayafternoon, June 11th. Here, one ofthe regular boats, running on the out-side line chartered especially for theoccasion, will take on board the Bos-ton-bound Technology Alumni. Plansare under way for a unique entertain-mnent that evening on board ship. Thedetails of these plans have been pur-posely kept dark. Upon the arrivalof the boat in Boston Harbor, Mon-day morning, a large delegation ofundergraduate students will meet thearriving guests and escort them in abody to Huntington Hall. The meet-ing in Rogers is for the older Alumnionly, as the seating capacity of thehall is limited. Dr. Maclaurin will ad-dress the Alumni. Following this, thenext few hours are to be given overto fraternity luncheons.

In the afternoon, an inspection ofthe new Technology will be made.Plans for this event involve a tripacross the Charles. River Basin inlaunches; about 75 or 80 will be used.A feature of the inspection trip willbe an elaborate exhibition called"Fifty Years of Technology.""Fifty Years of Technology." Thisexhibition is to embrace facts, per-fectly represented, concerning thegrowth of the Institute; scientific de-velopments; facts about educationalinstitutions, and the like. Followingthe inspection, tea will be servedupon the roof of the new buildings.The evening of that day, Monday, isto be taken up with class dinners. Inorder to properly provide for thegreat number of men participiating,the entire City Club of Boston hasbeen secured. Dinners will be servedin the whole building. At 11 o'clockin the evening, as large a number ofstudents as possible will congregateoutside and escort the Alumni backto Rogers, where a celebration is tobe held.

The following day will be spent atNantasket. Two large boats havebeen chartered for transportation.After lunch at the beach, the individ-ual class stunts will be staged. In theevening, after returning to Boston, animmense pageant will be presented inthe great court of the new buildings.

This pageant is now in preparation,and is in charge of Ralph AdamsCram.

On Wednesday, a series of depart-mental lunches are to be given. Therewill also be a luncheon given at uneCopley Plaza by the corporation, towhich about 500 invitations will beextended. The dedication proper willoccur in the afternoon. This is to bethe climax of the celebration. Repre-sentatives are expected from educa-tional institutions all over the coun-try, and from nearly all foreign coun-

tries. In the evening, the grand ban-quet will be held at Symphony Hall;this will be the concluding affair ofthe dedicational celebration.

The Alumni will require the ser.vices of at least 1000 students to actas guides, to take part in the pageantas guides and to take part in thepageant.

Following Mr. Litchfield's remarks,Dr. Dewey spoke on the topic of"Losses and Compensations." He pre-sented the point of view of the Tech-nology student as losing some of thegenerally accepted good things of thecollege world, but as having a vastlyricher heritage of Technology com-pensations. Dr. Dewey expressed ahope that the undergraduates woulddevelop their own plan of student anddormitory life at the New Institute,and not try to ape the methods em-ployed elsewhere.

The after-dinner talks were con-cluded by some remarks by HlenryHorn, '88, president of the AlumniAssociation. Mr. Horn spoke aboutthe forty-eight separate Alumni or-ganizations which constitute the bigAlumni Association. He also spokeabout the Technology Club in NewYork, an institution which has over athousand members.

TECHNIQUE ELECTORAL

Committee Holds First MeetingoAnd Adopts Constitution.

Yesterday afternoon at 4.00 o'clockthe 1918 Technique Electoral Commit-tee held its first meeting. It was de-cided to have one meeting a weekfrom now until mid-years. A consti-tution was adopted and K. Reid waselected Secretary-Treasurer of thecommittee. F. AW. White, Jr., waselected Vice-chairman. D. G. Bradley,O. C. Lorenz and L. F. vanZelm werechosen as the committee to conductthe art competition.
