FOUNDER'S ADDRESS (From Pratt Institute Record, October, 1899.) Teachers, Scholars, ;]nd Friends: I confess to a little embarrassment to decide which of the many things of interest connected with my experiences in the development of this enterprise should command my attention in speaking to you this morning. "How shall my child be educated ?" is such an old question, and has been ans" ' ered so many times, and in so many ways, since teaching began, that we cannot hope to offer much that is 01 iginal, but we have '\'ished to furnish facilities for a trial in Brooklyn of the best type of combined academic or high school instruction. "'ith manual training. The idea in this course, which we have named the Technic;]l High School Department, is not to teach the pupils ;]ny trade, but to educate them to \\"ork patiently, systematically, and constantly in the use of hand, eye and brain. ,\' e think such as finish this three years' course will, by the combined tr;]ining of nil their powers, be able to decide for themseh'es whnt life-work they nrc be,t calculated to 22


~uÂŤt'l'd

ill. .Among the elements of value we hope to realize from this course of instruction is an object lesson on the question of industrial or manual training.

The rapid development of the Institute led me, in April, to ask our secretary, 1\Ir. F. 13. Pratt, and my private secretary, lVIL Heffley, to accompany me in a hasty trip to the Old \ Vorld, to see, if we could, in what lines its longer experience would serve as a guide for us. "liVe visited twenty leading cities in England, France, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany; studied carefully, saw the workings of many schools; learned how to understand and appreciate reports of our consular agents; and as a result have come home convinced that Pratt Institute was not unnatural in its conception, nor vague in its design; and while we did not find anything just like it, we did find great activity in endeavoring to educate the people in applied art and in specific trade-schools. vVe feel that nothing presents so broad a field, or one so full of promise for the American nation, as attention to such things as will tend to educate the people to a knowledge of the artistic as applied to their home life, and to a love of it because they appreciate it. I have reason to believe that in our own Art Department many have been taught this, and also to realize that certain phases of it lie at the foundation of all industrial pursuits; that it ennobles, that it is an element of civilization, and that the essence of good art is to be found, above all things, in honest and good workmanship. In the Department of Domestic Science I am sure many have received that courage which comes from a consciousness of being able to do well some specific thing, and from the feeling that a knowledge of household employment is thoroughly consistent with the grace and dignity and true womanliness of every American girl. The aim of this department is to afford women a training in those branches of science and art which pertain not only to good housekeeping but to home-making-to the preparation of clothing, of economical and wholesome foor, and to such knowledge of sanitary and hygenic laws as shall tend to secure comfortable and healthy homes at the least expense. The housewife who knows how to manage the details of her home has more courage than one who is dependent upon servants, no matter how faithful they may be. She is a better mistress, for she can sympathize with them and appreciate their work when well done. We especially wish to enlarge our facilities In this department, so as to help those families who must live on small incomes to make the best disposition of this money in wise purchases, economical use of material, and little waste. One aim of this department is to make the home of the workingman more attractive.

J n the Department of lVlechanical Arts the instruction given should be most valuable and import:lllt to e\'ery thrifty mechanic. The demand is for a better and better quality of w (Hk, and our American artisans must learn that to claim first place in any trade they must be intelligent. They must study, learn to draw 23


and read plans, and to know the value of material and II'h) it is u,ed. They must learn to have pride in their work and to love it, and believe In our ll1otto, "Be true to your \\'ork and your work will be true to you." '''hen men have dealings \\'ith money matters in any form the) tou ch human nature in a sensitive spot. There is no one subject in connection \\' ith this work upon which I ha \'e such peculiar feelings as when a poor man comcs to pay hi s hard earned wages for the education of his child. Instinctively my feeling is to say, "Don't take the money"; but in my cooler and calmer thoughts, the judgment, formed after long and patient study of human nature, tells me that it IS wiser and better for everyone to pay a part at least of the cost of this education. To keep the Institute abreast of the opportunity open to it will require constant enlargement. We are in a growing city, full of young life, the center of a great population; we have embarked in a broad and comprehensive enterprise, and if it fulfills its ideal, each year will make larger and larger demands for construction and maintenance. 'Vhile li\路ing, and having the ability, I shall be glad to do all I can to build up and develop the Institute and to provide as much as possible for the future. The large number us in employing the best be remembered that in the pupil is alone equal

of students whom we are able to accommodate will justify talent, and giving full value for any charges made. It should some departments the present cost of material consumed by to the full tuition charged.

As for the work of the Library, I have become so muc h impressed with the far-reach ing inAue nce of good books as distr ibuted through a free library that I have been anxious to enlarge our own work in this line . Hence, until we see good reason for doing otherwise, all money Teceived for tuition by the Institute will be devoted to enlarging our present Library, which is free, and in establishing and main taining branch libraries and read ing looms 111 d ifferen t pa rts of the city as fast as circumstances seem to justify. The need of more room in immediate connection with the Art and Domestic Science Departments, as well as for the Technical High School Department, has led us to make large additions to our present buildings. With these and the changes made in the Mechanic Arts buildings, we have provided something over 20,000 square feet of additional Aoor space for the use of students for the coming year. 'Ve still need a large assembly hall, class rooms and appliances much beyond our present supply, and we hope before another Founder's Day that \I'e mal' be able to realize these expectations. After this hasty review, many things of interest in connection with the work are pressing upon us, but no one thing seems to be so important to undertake as education on the subject of thrift, and to this end we offer the following scheme: The instruction given in the Institute is intended, in part, to cnable people to become scI f-dependent. Pupils are taught some useful work by which thc)' can

2+


carn ll1ollel. It ';CClIlS a natural thing, in carry in g out this part of the plan, that the Ilc:-.t ,;tep should be to endeavor to teach them how to save this money; or ill other \\ord,;, how to make a wise use of it. It is not enough that one be trained so that he call join the ranks of the world's workers and become a producer; he needs quite as much to learn habits of economy and thrift in order to make his life a success. During the past year there have gone out from the lnstitute more than thi rty persons, \\路ho, from the instruction received here, arc today earning more than the interest on $500,000 invested in government bonds. \ Ve wish to help these young people to a knowledge of the proper use and care of this large income. In view of the abo\'e, ,\'e have been led to contemplate a new and, we believe, a \ err important step, namely, the establishment of a Savings Department In connection with the other work. To the development of this plan and the working out of these problems, it IS proposed to form an association to be called "Pratt Institute Thrift Association ," but for convenience it may be known as "The Thrift." The aim of the Association will be to encourage its members to habits of thrift; to help them to become prudent a nd wise in the use of money and time, by offering them a safe and simple method whereby they can make regular monthly payments for the purpose of accumulating a fund for buying or building their own homes; or for loaning to such persons as want to borrow for this purpose, and to do any and all such things as experience shall prove essential to the accomplishment of these object.

mall y nights of toil Il'e had ,pellt. It wa s then that II'C tir, t a ppr(,c ia t(,d the IIIHl nlyi ng truth in our Founder's Il'ortl s, "Be truc to your work a nd )our work will he t rll" to you." June came before long and it \I'as then that \IT indelibly engra ved our n am e in the ann a ls of Pratt hI our S lIC C(:, SS on Alumni 1) ;1\, Tho,,(:' 1ll(,lllbns of the In <., ti t llte who heretofore \I'ere 'una\l'are that there was a t{rst rear :'lechani ca l Clas, certa inl y were apprised of it that day \I' hen our banners wCI:e flung high and wid e a nd so remained, through our protection, until wc sa\l" fit to 10ll'er them. Our summer vacation came to a close soon enough a nd on September 20, 1922, we assembled in thc l\lechanical Laboratory in a body to receive preliminary instruction~ as to our seco nd and last rear's \I"ork. There was, however, something lacking, -the presence of Hu gh A. C~x of N e\l" H ave n , Co nn. , who seized an opportunity during the summer months of fi llin g a position of importa nce in the industries. As a class we were \"Cr\, sorr\, to learn of our loss but \I"e t ake this oppo rtunity in wishing "Hughie" the"succe~s which inevitably comes to a man of his type. Our first day at school \I"as spe n t in meeting our nell' second year in structors, but with the close of that day our seco nd year's work bega n in earnest. As the day and weeks rolled bl" \I"e became more a nd more acqua inted with our instructors and the impressions which they hal'e left with us are, \I"ithout doubt, va lu able and will not easily be forgotten. Surely the hours spe nt in ]\1r. Kottcamp's classes will always be vivid memories, as his kn ac k of putting the subjec t over a nd his rapid fire comptometer calculations will rema in with us for many days to come. From 1VIr. Kottcamp we learned that twi ce fifty is abou t one hund red a nd th at unl ess you ca n prol'e yo ur statement, don't state it ; a lso that formulae a re but th e root of all ev il unl ess you know why a nd when ce th ey co m e. 1\1r. 1\1udge, our sterling in str ucto r , who in var iabl y has a smi le for you no matter what the weather or diffi culty, will always be remembered by his co ncrete illustrations in the way of strai ght line drawin gs. H ere is one man who is proud of his h ome town a nd a dmits he belon gs to th e Volunteer Fire Department. H e is also a m as ter of the terpsichor ea n a rt, a nd a lmost a n y noo n tim e one ca n find him causlllg th e ivo ry sp heres much anxiety on th e seco nd floor of the 1\len's Club. Little is kno\\"n of Mr. Goudy, our co nstructio n superi ntend ent, as he has littlc to say as a ge ne ra l thin g, but words uttered are words meant with him, and th e value received fr om our co nstructio n periods is due \I'holly to his earnestness of purpose. 1\1r. Hodge, ali as 1\1r. Radio, adm its hi s latest and most earnest desire is to get C hi cago through th e air. Hi s hearty co-operation a nd \I"ill in g ness to help us through our Lab. course willne\'er be forgotten. 1\1r. Carr taught us a subject cal led Electrical Technology and no doubt if :\1 r. Carr \I"ould comment on it, he \I"otdd say it was like teaching table etiquette to th e IV1exica n army. He stuck to us though and we learned something of electricitr in spite of ourselves. " Our 1\lathematics in the form of A nalytic Geometry and alculus was put before us by 1\1r. l\larsh. The outstanding feature of 1\1r. ]\Iarsh's class was the fact that we not only learned mathematical fundamentals but were a lso taught mal1\ lessons of manhood and means of combating to a succcssful end , the life which lit:, before us. There is not a man in this class of 1923 who dol'S not "a1uc I'crr highh 36


this feature of our l\1ath Class and the memories which we take with us from those phil osophical talks will ever be an inspiration as we struggle for success. The many valuable points about tool making and machine work in general \\"ere taught us by Mr. Bare, who is hailed by all as an all -' round good fellow, and who kn o\\'S his subject. \ Ve feel that we know a good deal of it a lso and Mr. Bare can feel th a t his efforts to teach us were well spent. Our course in l\/1achine and Tool Design \\'as supervi sed by l\1r. Harpe r, th e talented bass singer of the Faculty Quartette. The latter accomplishment was not discovered about l\1r. Harper until the Mechanical Smoker held early in the fall. l\1r. Harper is also a composer, having written a ballad entitled, " And She Lives DO\\'n in Our Alley. " The impressive trait of l\1 r. Harper 's character is that he has a \\'o nderful sen se of humor but is a staunch believer in "There's a time to work and a time to play." Thus are the impressions our instructors have left with us and as the time draws near for us to depart from our Alma Mater, a feeling of joy mingled with a sense of sadness comes over us: joy from rhe satisfaction of having successfully passed our two rears here and now being given the chance to apply our knowledge in the great game of life; sadness, from the thoughts of leaving our Alma Mater which has grown, during our stay here, to be a part of us. And now as the portals of Pratt I nstitute close behind us we take this opportunity to thank heartily all of our instructors and all others \\路ho have been instrumental in producing the many changes for the better the past t\VO years.

During the first l1lollth or so l\"l' worked \I' ith real vigor, I'aried occasionall\" by soccer. basketball a nd Tuesday afternoon "Tealess" d a nces. Before we knew it Th:lI\ksgi\ ing had passed a nd the C hri stmas vacation was up on us. Traveling bags \I ere in orde r for those \I' ho did not have to go too far. The ripping good holiday time consisted of sleeping, eating, and studying "math,"-mostly "sleeping." I Nc were back tl \\'ork after Ne\\' Year's \I' ith a rene\l'ed enthu sas tic determination to dig in to the grind for all we \I'cre \I'o l,th. All \I'e nt well until January 25 \I'hen spr in g feyer hit all d us hard , all except " 1\La " who was a somnambul ist. "Ma" would go to ;;leep Londay morning and \I'ould \I'ake up during intermission at basketball games. Friday night, Accordi ng to our " time records" we have spe nt a thousand hours more or less, delving into the mysteries of physics, "math," juice, a nd th ose m echa ni cs probl ems, finding the ;;tress and strains e n Tanks , Motors a nd \I'ha t-nots bal anced on th e edge of a roof \I'ith a +5-mile an hour ga le blo\l'ing. Then th ere w ere th e "happy' hours" we spent in the mach:ne shop, keeping Freddy looking for th ose littl e brown puddles :lIld SP:Jts e n the Aoor. Our Lab-periods \I'o uld have been tolerab le, but for the aftc rmath.-th e Inite ups, particularly' the mechanical ones r eq uirin g vivid analyical descriptions, and precise arra ngeme nts of preparation data, etc, Kever will In forget our math! Find the "least" amount of tin in a tin can a nd "the distance to the moon," etc. At the end of the \I'inter term \I'e \I'cre " (lIlished" by' Calcu!u;; terminating our stu dy of mathematics. It \I'as said that Fred Clark used to stud)' math all during the sp ring term just because he 10l'ed the dx's and dl路's. Many \I'ere the hours \I'e spe nt in design, \I' here \I'e heard the follo\l 'ing chestnut, "when 1 was in Egypt," "who wants to pa)' their dues?" "Listen. m en "-"Can I have your a ttenti on for a fell' minutes. fellows?" "Can a n)'o ne get this second problem in juice?" "You haven't turn ed in your picture fo r Prattonia y'c t. " Besides sleeping, doing our homework, and broadcasting, we designed million dollar power plants for ten thousand dollar compa ni es. Under the able guida nce of Mr. H. P. Miller our construction experie nce was thorough and var ied, from painting the Aoor to building switchboards, Who among us w ill forget the periods in "Sleep), Hollow" where 1\Ir, l\Iaxfield lulled us to sleep with hi s soot h), tales and de sc riptions of phase and poll' phases. Taking it all in all we have had a good time. I ,V ho would , if possible, forget the class basketball games and dances where the worries of the dal' were forgotten? As we go through life Ict us a lways rem em ber this moral, "Fr iend ship is dearer thall life." Are not so me of the happiest momcnts of our li ves spent in recou ntin g thl' past ovn Ollr pipes with tho'i(, who havc comc fr0111 the past with liS) Thl' 57


greatest contentment we will have in the future to reward us for our time spent at Pratt will be the realization of the friendships we ha ve gai ned and kept a nd the satisfaction of a task well done. May the memory of the arguments in the bakery, smokers, sports, dances and whatnot's be for us a source of joy forever. Self reverence, self knowledge, self control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power, Yet not for power, but to live by the law, Acting the law we live by, without fear, And because right is right, to follow right, Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence.

The Electrical Association was formed for a two-fold purpose; first, to bring about meetings for discussion of technical subjects; and second , to give every man an opportunity of practice in the presentation of a technical subject to an assembled group. P as t experience has shown there is a decided advantage for the technical gradua te who h as the ability to present his views, in comparison with others, in open discussion , and also presenting new ideas and improvements to a body of executives. Many engineers have failed to put over a certain idea or improvement due to their inability of exp ressing their views concisely and conclusively before a group of execu ti ves. The Electrical Association has tried to fulfill this need by requesting every m ember of th e class to present at the meetin gs, a subject with which, he is familiar through prev ious practical ex peri ence . These subjects, prepared and delive red by students, afford in valu ab le ex perie nce, and those who ha ve taken adva ntage of this opportunity have added grea tly to th eir education while those who did not will probably find the need of it at some later date. In order to impress upon th e m embe rs th e grea t value of being able t o speak before a body of men, this orga nization secured th e serv ices of an experienced instructor on public speaki ng, Mr. O. G. Van Campan, who gave an inspiring talk on the value of emphasis and the method of delivering an address . The subjects covered durin g the pas t year have been of a wide and varied n ature, some of which were "Cables a nd Splices," "Electric Propulsion of Ships," " R adi o," " Static Co nd enser s," " H ydroelectri c Generation," and "Central St ation W o rk." Owing to the recent rapid development of telephone work and th e num erous opportunities in this branch of work, it was thought best to have a series of talks give n by t nf[in ee rs in this field. The field of the educational film s has grown to such an extent as to prove of g,rea t value along technical lines, and numerous films of this nature were obtained from different manuracturers, describi ng their products in detail. Other films havt been selected and severa l outside speakers engaged by the prog ram committee as P rat toni a got', to press . 59

INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, 1923 On September 20, 1921, we started a new page in the Book of Life, by making our first appearance at Pratt Institute . The first person to extend his welcome to us was Mr. Allen. He gave us a few pointers on life at the Institute and also how to spend our time to the best advantage ",-hile students. His final instructions were, -"Study real hard for three hours, then walk around the block ." The next person we met was Mr. Bivens, who helped to instill in our minds the fundmnentals of Chemistry. Under his careful supervision our progress was rapid . His instructions were generally paralleled by practical examples, the favorite being the "Dancing Couple." In the Laboratory Mr. Mantell was in charge of the cre\\路. Quite a number of phrase criginated here among ,,-hich "Under the Hood," was the P.1ost popular. Mr. Mantell also gave us to understand that we were not the discoverers of the "Cellulose Graphite Method" as he could easily detect this method of analysis. [ n the few P hysical Chemistry lectures, which he gave us, he did his best to make us IInderstand it, but then some people cannot see through some things.

A nothe r duty of th e A ssociation is to instill ( not distill) in the heads of the pre ent members, the " Bud ging sons of Bezelius," " would-be Wohlers, etc. ," some ideas of how chemistry applies to the industries and give t(hem the opportunity of hearing specialists talk on their subjects in the field of chemistry thereby (we hope) broadening the stud ent's viewpoint and givin g him some id ea of what he will meet when he goes out into the w orld. At the first meeting l\1r. Hiers of t;he ati onal Lead Co. lectured on the " U ses of L ead," abl y supported by a film showing the manufacture of white lead from mine to painter. The first pa rt of J anuary Mr. R. C . M oore, Chief Engin eer o~ th e Charles A . Schieren C ompany, gave a talk on beltin g specifications and problems. The talk was illustrated by th e film " From Hide to Belt. " On Febru a ry first the Kirkman Soap Company gave a showing- of their two fi lms on soap makin g. Between the film s M r.

Get acquainted wi th you rself, Try to find out what is missing. If you have too much deadweight, Get rid of it and create a balance; Something that you have you're not aware of , Must be holding you back; Try to find and remedy; Make your weak points non-existant, Brush up on your strong. Don't stand by and watch And hope and wish, But just dig in and pull With every sinew in your frameFor yourself .

INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 1924 On ce more has Fathe r Time \I' ith un erring precision marked the epoc h of a school in his eternal ca lend ar. It seems but a short time ago th a t \I'e, as stran ger, from all points of th e compass, ,,'e re attracted to Pratt by a common purpose, Our comforts and disco mforts, like and dislikes, of the nell' and strange enl"lrons lI'ere soon forgotten in th e din of bustling school ,,-o rk, ~ 'ea r

Unlike many in stitutions \I'here a student has to break a ruling and be called on the mat for it before he ca n learn the II-ars of the place, at Pratt the rules. fell' a nd simple, were clearly put before u s the first day assembled so that we should not be in the dark as to what w e co uld or could not do. Shortly after the laws and by-I a II'S \yere unfolded to us w e were emerging from the supply room bedecked Il'ith el'erything pertaining to education but quite deple ted finan cially, \ ;York w as ready to begin, Time nel'e r drags when a man is busy, so it has been Il' ith us, You cannot tell what a machine will do until you put a good heavy load on it. Thi s has been the method of our inst ructors. Task after task was assigned which seemed imp ossible ; but we were keeping in mind II-hat we came here for. \V e hal'e SI\'Cp t a ll barriers aside and hal'e plowed through one year of he av y seas Il'i th the Im;s of but fell' felloll's. True it is th at there was "never time for a nything but s tud~' , " but th ere are exceptions to every rule as in this case, Out of the class of eighty a s turd~' soccer eleve n was picked Il' hich sw ept eve rythin g before th em until the champi onship series was played, H ere, half a d oze n games Il'cre fought before Chemistr~' II could be declared the \I-inn er.

Th e story is as old as a " new " Ford joke. Cicero neve r hea rd of thi s story; but you have, Seni o r Chemists; a nd you \I' ill, you who follow in our foot steps. For your ben efi t , futur e stud ents, the story trea ts of da ncin g couples, co uples who ha ve been dancin g t ogeth er for m any years, doing the "light fa ntasti c," in chemical solutions. They ne,'e r ti re; th ey are, like him \I' ho makes them known, of a very perseverin g n a ture. 1\/[r. Allen uphold s the theory th at a perso n cannot do two things at once. He insists th a t one ca nnot sleep during class hours a nd get the various ex planations concerning th e subject treated! Mr. M a ntell is a little man of big word s, denoting a uthority and sagacity. Verily, we like his way of saY lng-\\' hen the report on an unknown solution is faulty-"Mr. . ... . , . "' you are condemned for further resea rch. " He is also the man who requires that the bottles co ntainin g the different solutions, be put back in their prope r places ! Text comes l\I1r. Corrie, who supervised our bun glin g efforts and kept us on th e right track, by sheer physical a nd pate rnal preponderance! From chemistry we shifted to math ema tics, \I' he re 1\1 r.

ARCHITECTURE, 1923 Thirty, Sixty, forty -five Tee Square Pushers, \\'e 're al ive, Architects, Architects, Architects, Agai n the architec t 's battle cry was heard ringing down the corridors of Pratt. Sep tembe r w as here at last, a nd , resting up on th e laurel s of our first year, we were about to hit our stride for the seco nd lap of our race for kn o\d ed ge , Practically the whole crowd was back, with more pep than ever, th e only toni c being, "S t ay outdoors as much as possible" as put on the m a rket by Mr. P ope,

It has bee n said "foo ls know th e past- \\' ise men look to th e future," l\evertheless it is interes tin g to r ecall th e past , a nd th o ugh you, as yet, have n ot di scove red the fact, you a re now reading a chro nicl e of th e year's happ enin gs in the class of Architecture, 1923 , The onl y excuse that is offered for setttin g th em do\\' n here is th a t th e \\' hole world would be poorer if it did not ha ve th e opportu nity to read what happen ed to such a n illustri o us group of young men as the class of Architecture, 1923! The places of the few who fell by th e waysid e were filled by Buge!, Goldstone, H ammo nd , H errerra, Minton , O ' Hanlo n, Vitello, a nd \rVi erzbuki, who rem a ined with us for the third year beca use they posse,sed th e rar e in sight to rea li ze wh a t it \\'o uld mean to pos terity to be kno\\'n as members of the class of 1923 , Also ad d ed to our ranks w ere Arbaizo a nd Gorman , two neoph ites who proved well their abil ity to sta nd in line with us, \V e had no soo ner bro ught our dra\\' in g boards and instrum en ts fr om th eir res ting pla ces th a n \\'e decided \\' hether or no t Construction o r D esig n beckoned to us, The follo\l"Cr s of D esign were so num ero us that all co uld not ga th e r up on the proper shore, but all remai ned tru e to th eir first love, though in the land on Construction, Th e constructicn ga ng recei\'ed \\' o rd to advance th eir kno\\'ledge und e r the command of )'lr, Edminster a nd :\1r. Pr ice, in th e design of \'arious t\'pes of building co n ~ tru c ti o n such as wall bearing, pier co nstru ctio n , steel skele ton , a nd reinforced co ncrete a nd a ll th e neCeSSH\' ingredients that go with them, Th en \\'ith a grea t fl nal c har ge the battlements of roof truss calcu latio ns \\'ere besieged, The dl'sign ga ng, fighting the flght \\'ith all th eir might and " 'ith the aid of .\, Ir. Guptill.

As the late ]\tIr. Caesar said. " \ ~eni, \ idi. I ici." ( r\ o, P aul, Caesar is not called late because his alarm clock did not go off.) B et\He n battles " 'e found tim e to choose leaders for the ga ng . Bill Cooper was re-elected to the presidency, which prol'ed to be a job rath er th a n a position. Callahan " 'as elected vice president a nd backed Bill up in keep in g o rder. Bishop was elected treasurer a nd w e all tak e off our ha ts to him for th e way he loose ned u s from our silHr. Dunnin g w as re-electcd as the secre t a ry. (E d , you are to be commended for the minutes that you ne ve r bored us with.) Art Allen was elected to the group a nd nO\r \I'e have l\1r. Perry's committee of five. The construction m en have continued the Pratt chapter of the American Association of Engin ee rs. E very man did his duty by joinin g. During th e year many interes ting and u sef ul lectures were hea rd, the main ones being on the subjects of Waterproofing, :lVIanufacture and U se of Steel, Plumbing, Hea ting and Ventilating, Paints, Specifications, and Mr. Perry's never to be forgotten lectures on th e Hi story of Art . (Yes, Ketz, specifications are every Tuesda y. Bishop is better looking. according to M r. Edminster, \I路hen he is asleep.) , Ve started our social events of the year with our annual smoker to the first year men, a nd good fellowship abounded. Good d oughnut eaters were also prese nt , in which Scotty Lan g more than held hi s 0\\'11. ( Th e dou ghnuts w ere fr ee.) By the time Chri stm as vaca ti on rolled around everyone had enough on the other fellow to han g him or to give him a mock prese nt. All , thi s includes the instructors, made merry and had num e rou s laugh s. "l'l"l'

~ GENERAL ART, 1923

One e\'ening not so long ago \n had entered the Sta r Restaurant and Sea Food In Season, to satiate the crav in gs of ou r inn er men, (Thi s \\"fiting ed itorially in the first person plural becomes, at times, a\l'b,'ard,) At any' rate, we cou ld not do justice to the a rom at ic, or perhaps we should say, "g um a rab ic" soup which P ete had se t before us, because our th oughts \\'e re on the \\"fiting of a Class Hi story, It was not a pleasing task, for \I'e are inh erentl y a sl;)' and modest class-at least we are shy when dues fall du e, \I' hich th ey do ha ve an unpleasant way of doing, You see, we were compell ed to ow n up that ou r sparklin g ac hi eve ments a re unsu rp assed II1 a ll th e ann a ls of Prat t Institute, (That is what \I'e a re supp osed to say, isn 't it, as Class Hi stor ian?) A s we sa t th ere cogitatin g up on ho\\' this wretch ed busi ness of Hi story writin g mi ght be don e without fear of our bein g branded as braggards-lo ! and likew ise, behold !-our tas k was at once made easier. We felt so unhappy' abou't the depl orab le lot of successors when they would be deprived of our talents that we had so ught to drown ou I' so rrows in a flowin g bowl of so up, Howe ve r, Dot l\l cE ntee and Torm Kenyon , who were seated at an adjoinin g table, go t to fight in g each other, and Norm was sent sprawlin g aga inst our table, and our bowl of so up flowed too much, Pete said we \\'e re n eatin g a disturb ance and heaved a pi e pl ate at our hith erto undentable head-a nd then the li ghts w ent out! The years seemed to slip backward with incredibl e speed to th e tim e when Greece was at the height of its greasin ess, And th ere \\'e co uld disce rn, thou gh dimly shrouded by th e clouds of time and th e reek of ham and eggs over, sitting on the magnificent marble t opped tables and coa t hoo ks, our ve nerab le friend s Z eus, Venus, Diana , Apollo and m any others of th e long lin e of Gregory's we used to ca ll by their first nam es in our hi gh school daze, Th e assemblage of th ese pee rs, it appears, w as for th e purpose of decidin g \\'hich is the greatest class that has eve r infested Pratt, And, children, wh at do yo u supp ose they all answered, Yes, th e G eneral Art C lass of 1923! \Ve qu ote th e foll owin g more o r less well kn ow n auth oriti es and will give th eir add resses up on request, Said l\l ars, God of War, in a voice whi ch thund ered through th e restau rant , ca using th e sea food in season in th e \I'i nd o\\' to craw l for shel ter benea th each other: " The G enera l Art C lass of 1923 were th e un ri\' aled athl etes of th e schoo l. In basketb a ll th ey were mighty heroes, to th e most, and the Varsity' Fi\'c w ould d\l' indle 138


to a p;Jltry three without Ball and Rupprecht. They \I'ere powerful, too; six-fifths of the interclass wrestling champs belonged with them. That they did n ot bring home the bacon in soccer and baseball \I'as because they did not particularly care for bacon," "'Vitne,;s the Illodesty," interrupted young Apollo, "\I'hich prevented so many of their number frOIll accepti ng certificates with so \I'onderful a class. And having been somewhat of a reckless gambler myself, in m)' day, may I say that at the dances they certainly shook a fidgety slipper, for proof of \I'hich see P eg Schaeffer and Phil l\litchell. leading exponents of sole stirr in g jazz." "Don't forget, my dear young fellow," drawled Atlanta, as she drained the dregs from her tumbler of Star's Premium Nectar, "do n 't forget that their women braved our neighbor Neptune's icy pool those wintry days and surpassed all the others in s\l'immi ng. Need I mention Priscilla Mullen, Ra y Alexander, Kay Karrick, Gertrude Van Allen or Dot McGinty? Verily, bathing suits seemed to be made for them expressly, in sp ite of Charlie Safford's co ntention that any other than street clothes are a handicap in the water." "General Art III ," crooned Venus, "her women are marvels of beauty and graciousness. At th e time the pictures were taken for Prattonia, it was found that the camera could not record such loveliness as was thei rs. And her young men! Why, they would make Adonis hide his hand s in his face." "General Art III ," sa ng Orpheus, as he clawed the strings of his harp in envy. "O ne had but to hear Dellana Kimmelhouse execute that tearful ballad, 'The Shouting for Marion McGlue,' to know that here was a class to move the Palisades to tremble \"ith sobs. Or just to hear Scott relieve him self of his illustrated song hit, 'If I could only tie myself down ,' in which the entire class politely joined in the chorus of 'Oh , if you only could!' Oh, the melodies sent thrilling through the air by our members in the Glee Clubs! What would become of the Women's Glee Club without their President, our tuneful and beautiful Singer? I am sorely pressed to equal such harmony on my lyre. " "Some lyre," said Athena. "Oh, they were very artistic for an art class. Perry-grinated into the office lately, and the marks I saw on the cards were simply amazing. Even M r. Skidmore, I remember, on one occasion made this remark, 'Gee whiz, how I'd love to be the cap'n of a company of men like this!'" The last to speal was Pete. All he could find words for was,--"Which IS Greek for 'You said it, boys!'" And there you have our class Histor y. Who dares dispute the decision of the Gods? It seems strange that so many variously colored minds should blend so harmoniously in the one great painting we ha ve unconsciously produced during the three years of our fellow ship. We have the long-haired dreamers, Wright and Wal leen; the bald-headed dreamer, Case, among us; we have with us, part of the time at least, Graves, the blue-ribbon winner in the tea-hound class; Osborne, supreme among the coffee-chasers, and Tarleton, the lounge-lizard. 139

COSTUME ILLUSTRATION, 1923 To be a Historian is a fearful thing. For one must take the dry bones of fact and sti ck th em together with statistics a nd other such li vely little odds and end s; so as to make the whole thing come to li fe. This is a class skeleton and verily it is some framework. A Hi storian must be a member of that modern and unhonored profession of African Golfer. He must roll the bones and roll 'em well. H e also belongs to th e ancient and honorable society of P en-Pushers; that excuse for N eu ritis and temperament. He mu st accept gracefully and without comment such delicate tokens of approval from those whom he has slandered, as cabbages and antique eggs. In after years, it is true, these change to bouquets of S\Het smell in g Aowers; but they do the poor Historian no good, for he, alas, died in the era of cabbages. So much for the junk dealer's r ival, the coUector of bones. Now for the Hi story. The firsn event of importance was a party give n by the second and third year classes to the first year students. We hope that they had a good tim e. They were fed thoroughly, so the cooks say : a nd they ought to know. The Kinderga rden sun'ived the party a nd are now doing nicely. Parties are good thin gs and most useful in filling up a socia l vacuum. Hence another. Th is time it \\'as a Valentine V agary , The sloga n being " Hal ve a heart and find !'our partner." I t also was a great success a nd as the Hi stor ian quaintly hath it, "They ate, ",hat tim e they were not dancing". But times they departed ha ving a good ly warmth within the cockles of th eir hearts from friendliness and good feeling. And now we come to one of the events of the year. A visit to J ohn Held, J r. The class, consisting of twenty-five eager damsels, wended thei r way to New York, shepherded by J\liss Clark, to view an exhibition of l\lr. Held's work. 1\1r. Held burst in upon the admiring throng, and being a rather shy young man he probably wished that he were elsewhere, A man usually sees triple on such occasions and he thought, no doubt. that there \Hre seventy-five girls instead of merel!' twenty-fiH. It was a great treat for us, however, not onl)' to see an exhibition of fine work but meet the artist himself. \Ve will not soon forget it. Thru the kindness of :\l i,s Clarke we were able to meet l\Ii ss l\Iesserole, a former student at Pratt and no\\' Oil tilt' staff of \ ' ogue. It being it thrilling thing in our young li\ cs to sec a succe,;"ful .IIti,t.


\\ e decided to hOllor the occasio n by prese ntin g her with a bou qu et of flow ers . " Our P rcsCllteur" was rather fu ssed as befi tted such an eve nt, but she managed to co n vey th e AO\\"Crs to l\Iiss l\Icssc role without trippin g ove r her. After a few appropriate words of presentation a nd a w ell tim ed remark on th e weather, she retired g racef ull y to th e background a nd left the field to "Our H a rri et " . These happenings are m erely a few of th e thin gs th a t go to m ake up o ur class '路Hi;:tory ". There are many little thin gs th at occur, which \ye ca n 't put in for lack of space . Every day in every ,,-ay ou r Histor y gets more a nd more. "\Ve believe this to be a most unique History in th a t it has no dates . "But," yo u ask politely, "w ha t is a Histo ry without dates?" " l\/f y little one," we reply, "dates are th e di stin gui shing marks of palm tre es a nd not Hi stories, N'est Ce Pas ? So endeth th e tale.

DESIGN, 1923 " It was a d a rk and storm y ni ght" and soo n aft er my " ;'\ ow I lay me" I was und er th e inAuence of the g rea t and all pow erful god , M o rph eus. M y subconscious mind imm edi ately became ac ti ve . It seemed as th ough the tim e w ere 2000 B. C , and I \\'as a lone in th e center of an unfri endl y city in E gy pt. I w as sudd enl y attrac ted by a mass ive buildin g almost in fr ont of me. I hurri ed on and entered the hu ge temple. After buying my ti cket for thirt y shekels, I w as ushered into another room. On a magnifice nt throne dr aped with all th e bea utiful silks of t he orient w as sea ted Tut-a nkh-Am en- ( '\V , S. P err y). On eith er sid e and in fro n t, reclinin g on bounteo us and multi colored cushions, w as th e rest of th e f ac ulty of P ra t t . I w as nex t led through a long, spacious ha ll to anoth er room and In lS told to stay th ere until give n furth er directions. W e first becam e acquainted with one of our instructors-" Sh eik" P etersen , and w e soon learn ed to love 'em all. Before man y month s our clan cong rega ted and ele ted our Kin g, K eith Wilso n ; Lord of the Treas ury, Rufus Phillips, and M istress of th e P en, H elen Tiffany. Th en the sand began to Ay. In return for an en joyable afternoon we ha ve our first bi g festi val to th e second year peopl e in co-operati on with th e ancient Society of Architects. True to the times, the decoration s were masses upon masses of bobbin e; ba lloons. Such cunnin g , noisy fa vors and the punch? W ell , you tell us, Mr. Peterse n. By thi s time w e had lea rn ed to collect our thou ghts and scratch them on a tablet. But a n abund ance of anything is not good f or a deco rator's soul , so we go t out ou r came ls and set forth on a t en w eeks' trip , on ly to find that it was sw ee t to be among our own class. Upon our return we reali zed th at th ere w as a niche in th e w o rld for us and th at this yea r w e should st a rt prepa rin g and lookin g for it. So Il'e elected Ru fus Phillips as leader of our clan this yea r; H elen ,\iVi epert , L ady of the Treasur y, and Gertrud e l\1id er, l\1i stress of the P en. But befo re se ttlin g do wn to th e staid and stead y routine of ha rd w ork w e w elcomed the fr eshm an class into ou r former ra n ks in the palace . '\iVe all enj oyed a social tlYO hours one Thursday in ge tting acq uaintcd. Then lye sta rted a R ennaisa nce. ,\Ve a lways crashed into class at nea rly nin e, a nd how w e did w ork. Once a w eek, Sphinx Pratt gave us lecture on per iod styles of furnitur e. To t sa ti sfied w ith this, w e o rga ni zed a Lond al' A ftern oo n Cl ub in conjunction with th e fr eshmen w here w e di scussed everythin g but lovc and theolol!}.

SENIOR HOSPITAL DIETETICS W-e, the H _ D. Class of '23, AI though \I'e are but seven and th ree, Are going to establish our reputation By properly feeding this nation! So cross our hearts, we hope to die, We ' ll make you proud of us, old P. 1. The Summer of 1922 l\"rought a supreme transformation in the ten little "wouldbes" that comprised the first dietetics class of Pratt In stitute, for on September 19th, ten "honest-to-goodness" Senior Dietitian s resumed thei r work here. 1'\ eedless to say, we duly felt the prestige that was ours, for we \I'ere the only Seniors on the fifth and sixth Aoors and \Ye held full sway over the incoming groups. At the very outset there were but seve n of us; three , Grace O'Kide, :\l able McCarn and Neva Miller having begun immediately their probation work as student rlietitians at Brooklyn and Kings County Hospitals. How we \I'ished \I'e could spy in upon - these "rookies" being initiated into the tricks of the trade! We were all very sorry to have Mrs. Nye, who was \I-i th us through thick and thin jn our Junior year, leave us, for we all felt her good inAuence and II-e miss her greatl y. She is now at Columbia University and we know she is makin g herself kno\l-n in the same manner as at Pratt. Howe ver, we gained another "bright and shining light" in Mona, who realized \I-hat she and the rest of the \I'odd were missing, had she not joined the dietitian s. October 11 , we met perso nally each of the Juniors and In stitutionals at a tea in the Women 's Club. On the afternoon of the 22nd of November, we w ere entertained by the In stitutional Managem ent Class at an informal tea at the ,Voman's Club. ,Ve will ha ve to hand it to th e Inst itutional s for doin g the affair up brOIl-n.

From long ago in the dim and misty past of September, 1922, come faint recollections of those fir st days at Pratt. We were greeted with an arithmetic examination , and many were the sighs and moans as we entered R oom 57. Du ring thos ~ first few weeks the old walls re-echoed to our cries as we dashed wildly about, dema~d足 ing and p:eading abou t this room and that - where it was and how to locate it, until our wits \\'ere so nea rl y departed from us th at we had to ask J ohn whether the fourth Aoor came before the third or after th e sixth . Our fond memories go back to th e dress parades between Rooms 57 and 59 , feeling justified in our belief that \I'e did not need th at gy mnasium period. Thi s was quickly di spe lled after a fe\\' of our p rize ex hibition s on th e gymnasium Aoor when we failed to foll oll' ;\li ss J ordan's command s of "To th e r ea r, march !"-" Kn ees bend, and hand s over head, place I" Th e followi ng day we stepped carefully, and anxiously asked our fellol\' stud ents to propel us more gentl y up and down the stairs. What would we have done in our pecial project work without th e guidin g hand and counsel of Mi ss Holloway and M iss Condit, as our brains, (which are supposed to be mature) combed over and over the m any books up on the shelves in th e refer ence room of the library? At times thin gs became quite hecti c and instructors and stud ents dashed madly hith er and thith er. Then sud denl y calm and peace reigned over all and one wo nd ered what had been the cause of thi s disorder, and wh ence had come this balm of Gilead to still the troubled wa ters. No\\' to our gay tim es when we all made merry . One remembers our teas Il'here so me of us were, Oh , so dignified and proper! The Junior and Senior H ospit1J Dieti t ia ns enter tained us most charmin gly at tea , and we did ha ve such a good time. ''''ill w e ever forget our trip to the brass shops, J acob R eis Settl eme n t H ouse, and Chinatown) W e prowled a nd we poked, we snooped and w e inquired. until weary. \Ve th en turned our steps to the P ort Arthur. M emory hold s dear. :'l iss Shank, at the head of our long table with a lar ge glass reposing at her elbo \\'. \\-e have ye t to discol'er just \I'hat \I'as th e foaming content of th at glass , Th e picture to us completed the day-but, say, will you ever forget th at delicious ('hicken. so \\'ell done) A rumor is curre nt that someo ne had hysteri cs at our theatre par t\'. \\' hcll \ll' Il'ent to th e " Th e Old Soak." Surely thi s is a ll th e evide nce th a t is 'lll'l'l'SSan as proof of a ripping good time. \ Ve want to kno\\' wh)' th e \V ca th er-Illan handed us a IITt 198

TU l'sd,l\


dUring the winter term, 'I'hen on many a Tuesday afternoon Il'e tramped through the rain, the II'ind, snoll', and hail on some interesting field trip. As we go forth from these dear walls, we realize that Pratt has gi\'en us much that we \I'ould never have gotten from LIFE elsewhere. The personal contact has been to us a great inspiration, and we will always feel that in time of trouble. or of doubt, like the prodigal we may return for help and advice.

COOKING \V hen making Cake or Biscuit, Your toil \I' ill be in vain, Unless you kno\l' the calories Each biscuit should contai n.

So when your mixture's finished,And this is well to know,Just take each calorie one-by-one, And stick 'em in the dough.

And when you've solved the problem It's only half the fight, For you must have some vitami nes To make them balance right.

Then roll the mixture gently o'er,Be sure you do it right,Take up each squirming Vitamine And pack him out of sight.

Noll' \I' hen your mixture's all made up, It's sometimes hard to tell Just why you l' cake has tu rned to dough Or why your biscuit fell.

Thus treated they'll be all stuck up, Stacked up, and filled with pride, And evermore in sweet content \ Vill happily abide.

HOME-MAKERS On Tuesday, September 26, the gi rls of the Home-making Class met for th e first time as a unit in the Assembly Hall where Mr. Ho\\'e and :iVIiss Hollister mad e us even more interested in the \I'ork to come. Mr. Howe pointed out the fact thilt successful home-making is just as much a business as banking or medicine or the law. and that as such, it is something to which women should devote time and thought. and for which they should be trained, As \I' e progress in our work \I'e are finding that there is indeed much to learn, and \I-e are being very thoroughly taught that "much," vVe all feel that the Homemaking Course meets a vital need in tile life of the modern \I'oman, and \I-hat 'H are learning is invaluable. Soor. after we were well started on our program we held a class meeting, at which we elected our officers and decided on our class dues. Frances Teter was elected president, and we have been congratulating ourselves on our choice ever since. l\Iiriam Smith was elected vice president, Julia Doughty, secretary, and Esther Becker, treasurer. Miss Becker collects twenty-five cents from us every semester, and she's proving to be very conscientious! Ethel Cooper is our Student Council Representative; Elinor Lambert our delegate to the vVomen's Club; and Miriam Smith, our Prattonia Rep resen ta ti ve.

TRADE DRESSMAKING On a certain da~ in September, In: ,;tarted our careers as dressmaker" , \ Ve Il'ere first assigned to I'arious rooms and there , much to our honor, ,,'ere informed that \I'e \I'ere to take- an namination! I t had been rightly named, for it seemed that the question ,; lI'ere such that could be answered on ly by a finished modiste \I'ith a complete knoll' ledge of the lI'orid of clothing, Someholl' , as if b) the aid of a magic lI'and, lI'e seemed to answer those mysterious questions; and lI'ith the realization of the ~doll'h ' approaching end lI'e lI'ere beginning to regain consciousness when our eyes fell upon the tcnth question: last but by no means least, "Obta in material from desk, make an apron \I' ith button holes," As el'ery story has a climax, so did our examination and this was it, ~Iaking an apron seemed to us sufficient in itse lf lI'ithout attempting a buttonhole, I twas el'ident we were all of the same opinion and the classroom wa" in an uproar with horor-stricken cries of "a button hole! " "The)" re out of style!" " :\lake an apron in this short time?" "That's absurd!" " \ Vhy, I"'c nel'er sell'ed in my life," Thusly we raved on for some moments, :\,I ysteriously in due course of time they were finished and our Instructors were I'er~' sll' eet about accepting them , Da~ ' by day lI'e found ourse lves more in terested and encouraged in our work and making friends lI' ith our classmates, \ Ve decided in order that lI'e might knOll' each other better we wou ld hal'e a H a lloll'e'en part)' at the Casino, Here we met the Faculty,

The end of Christmas vacation fou nd us back at our work more ambitious than ever, Our ambitions lI'ere not in I'ain for in a short time we held an exhibition proudly displaying the work we had labored so strenuously ol'er. All too quickly Spring came and \I'ith it the realization that we lI'ere to be together for only one more term-so w ith united efforts we did our best to make this Spring Fa . hion Sholl' a success, \ Ve were not disappointed for many said it was the best el'er. As our school year has come to its close we shall always remember Pratt as our loved Alma ,\ r ater and shall nel'er forget the friends we hal'e made here, in \I'hom we have learned to real ize the rea l significance of true friendship, Befor' we part we wish to thank our instructors for all they h;1\'e done to make ollr cour.,e pleasant, interesting, and worthwhile,

MEN'S CLUB The social life of th e yea r star ted at th e Club H ouse , \路hen the Executive Committee held se\'eral Sa turday evening Open Hou se Nights. These were a new venture, and ,,-ere ver)' pleasing sociall y as w ell as se rvin g to introduce the new students to one another. Charles A . Olmstead, lVlanage r of Saturday trips, ran off a large number of excellent expeditions of visitation , but th e most popular " 'as that to th e United States Military Academy at West Point . The Women 's Club had a trip to West P oint on th e sa me da y so that the party was well rounded out. Th e buildings of the Academy were visited , the regimental re view was appreciated, and th e foo t ball game was enjoyed by all. Th e ten pin tournament ,yas successf ul for 1. Ch . E. II , who won all matches, and consequ entl y the championship. Gra ves, of th e same team, " 'o n the gold medal for hi gh average score.

1. E. E. '23 of last year's athletic fam e won th e Duck Pin T ou rn ament. 1. E. E. '23 was the final team eliminated. Th e Indi vidual Duck Pin T ourn ament was won by M ar tino , 1. E. E. '2-1-, with Houck, 1. E. E. '23, as runner-up . It was in pool that competition was keen thi s year. An unusually large numb er of good pool players were in evidence, and they were well distributed among th e competing classes. There were fi ve exceptionally good teams out of nin e entered in the interclass competition, and four of these tied for first place in the round robi n. 1. E. E. '24, I. Ch . E. '2-/-, Arch. , and I. M. E. '2-1- ran off an elimination for the winner, and the Mechanical aggregation proved the best team . Toale, of I. Ch. E. '2-1-. took the gold medal for hi gh average score. The Indi vidual Pool Tourn ame nt \\-as \\'o n by Snyder of 1. iVl. E. '2-1-. with Calhoun of 1. E. E. '23, as runner-up. Chess and checkers were high in fayor thi s year. Lear of 1. E. E. '23 \\'on th e chess championship, and Davis of 1. E . E. '2-1- was the winner in the Individual Checker Tournament. The seven men composi ng the P. I. Lunch Corporation ha ve been a val u able asse t to th e Club thi s yea r. The manner in which they ha ve handled th e feedi ng of th e Club members on the curb and in the Club H ouse has been hi ghl y praise\\'orthy. Fair trea tm ent , har d w ork, and good serv ice, h as been th eir motto. The officers, co nsistin g of Presid ent E. B. Alrich, Vice-President \V . H. Cant\\"Cll , Secretary A. E.

WOMEN'S CLUB Once upon a time , in the dea r, dead days that \\'e'd rather not recall, there \\'asn't any \ Vomen's Club. It seems incredible , but the fact remains incontrovertible; there ,imply \\'asn't any \ '\lomen's Club . Obvious!)', such a si tuation required strong measures, so \\'ith the A lu mnae as the moving spirit, all Pratt Institute got together to fix the matter up. A mo nster mass meeting \yas held , (this \\'as away back in the middle ages, in the spri ng of 1913), and a petition was sent to the Trustees, requ esting an organizatio n for the girls, similar to the }\I{en 's Club. The Trustees recognized the grea t need of some such place and bent all their energies to the task of finding it, \yith th e result that, scarcely a year later, to be exact, S und ay, March first , 19 1-1-, the house on the co rn er of Willou ghb y Aven ue and Hail Stree t was opened to th e stud: nts as th e Pratt In stitute Women 's Club. Th e house was one of th e regular frame ones that are quite fr equ en tl y an abomination in th e sight of th e publi c, but \\路hen thi s emerged from its ove rh au lin g and remodelling, it was a thin g of beauty. The entire house was renovated and redecorated to m eet needs of girls of the different schools. All th e rooms were fitted ou t so well, th at th e house seem ed more like a pri va te home than a school club. Every effort was made to arra nge it as attr ac ti vely and comfor tably as possible. So successf ul were those efforts, that even the girl s that a re li vin g at home like to lin ger there until they have to dep ar t. Som e day, some anxious mother will find, after frantically ph oning a ll over Brooklyn for an hour or so, that her d augh ter was peacefully r eadin g " Life" at th e Club.

It isn't at all difficult to see why th e W omen 's Club is p:Jpular. It is th e socia l center for Pratt. All the class par ti es are held th ere and there th e secti onal clubs have occasional festi viti es. At the beginnin g of th e term , teas are held on Sunda y aft erno on s and eve rybody comes, the new people beca use they are homesick, and the old ones because they are glad to get back. Th ere you ca n meet a str ange r who happens to come from th e same state th at yo u do, and imm edi ately yo u a re friends. The men enjoy these teas quite as much as th e girls, because (do n 't breathe it to a soul) th eir homesickn ess is worse th an ours. And behind all thi s is Mrs. Taylor, who is always ready to help out, whether it is a question of how to get to W anamaker's, or which of the local grocers i" the most reasonable. Once y'O U have become acquainted with Mrs. T aylor. you are a regular Prattite, and y'ou ,,路ill remain one for the rest of your d ays.

MEN'S GLEE CLUB The Men's Glee Club began its fourth rear of existencc \I路ith uflly about five of the former members and lVIr. Tebbs as Director. At the first few meetin gs the largest crowd el'er, attended, but true to form the croll路d dll'indled to practically twenty-five stand-brs, Out of the usual course of evmts we l\"ere the first to extend an invitation for a party which we gave the Girls' Glee Club on January 17 , at the j\ I en's Club, Due to the good Il'ork of "Mort" Shears, Greeker , \ Valleen , and "Don" Bro\I' n the affair was some success, Mr. Boltz assisted in the evening's entertainment by' rendering a few solos. At our annual concert of previous years outside artists have rendered numbers besides those given by the Glee Club. This year a plan was inaugurated by mean, of which school talent excl usively' \I'as lIsed , which \I' as not only very successful. but tended to make the concert of April 20, 1923, a more thoroughly homcl' and lively affair.

CROWN AND SPADE CLUB You remember ( if not, pray turn over and look) that, in the last epistle, the mutual word was " Well." We think it is better to add "Done" to that, since th e two linked, go to make the soul of man rise to the upper register and bring a gay light to a woman's eyes . Encouragement is the first law in the seventh heaven, we have heard , and in-as-much as our predecessors were not over ambitious, we had to put the spade before the Crown and Dig. The resurrection took place one noon hour when Art Gray acted in (didn't have) th e capacity of a Tammany Boss and rose to the occasion. Nominations were in order for the Bi g l\Iogul's job. Suffice to say th at Art is still acting. The progress and success made to date are largely due to P olly and Alice and divers others particeps criminis. Now our party at the ",,yoma n's Club was surely not to be sneezed at. Along toward five o'clock, P olly was running here and there yelling, "Alice, ",here rt thou" ; she finally found both of them sitting in a corner munching crackers and cracking wise. There was nut-cake to be had with palaver poured over it. ",Vh at a wonderful asset to a man's life is the kitchen of the ",,yoman's Club. 250

SOUTHERN AND WESTERN CLUB The Southern and Western Club plared a very important part in school activities during the pasti year. There has always been a growing need for so me sor t of unity among the students and the so-called sectional club has done much to bring the four schools of the Institute to ge ther upon a common meeting ground. Our object has always been to furni sh social entertainment and to bind the members to ge ther with a feeling of lasting fellowship. Our record has been enviable. Another year has gone. Soon nothin g but a memory of the good times , friendships and th e happ y days will remain. But "memories" are among the trul y great things of life and we cherish them. To those who graduate \\"C wish happin ess and prosperity. To those who stay, all ,,路e have to say is "Carryon " a nd make the Southern and Western Club the liveliest, finest orga nization in the school.

Th e circum stances of its in ception were mu ch akin to just ,,路hat the Association sta nd s for and upholds. There was a feeling th at a n Institute so large a nd so wid e-reac hin g must realize th a t educa ti on m ea ns serl' ice a nd th at those wh o receive benefits must in turn give to others. Howeve r widely open are the doors of thi s in stitution , not a ll can be adm itted , and it should co n se qu e ntl~路 be the a im of the privileged ones to go forth and sha r e th eir benefits with oth e rs.

THE 1922-23 BASKETBALL SEASON When Simmy issued the call for candidates at the opening of the fall term some forty-five ambitious youths responded. The material as a whole looked exceptionally good from the start and was narrowed down to the men from last year's squad, ,,路ith the addi tion of four others. Through the hard and continuous efforts of Coach Sim, a team was developed which proved to be one of the best in years, winnin g eight out of thirteen of their games.

COOPER UNION D. S. \\'c opelled the scason with Cooper Union and a I' ictory, the final score being +1-18. , Vithout \\'asting any timc "Undie" started the scoring with a field goal, and Cooper came back with another . HO\\'e\,er, this II'as as close as they ever came to I ietory, for from that time on we piled up point after point with but slight difficulty. The team worked smoothly, both on the defense and offense, and gal'e promise of a good season. The substitutes in the last few minutes of play proved that the second string "leather tossers" II'ere nearly as strong as the first and could be depended upon in ease of need.

INTERCLASS BASEBALL TIll' Interclass ba,;eball ,;ea,;on opened \\' ith great enthusiasm . Excellent material turned out from cach cla,;s and at the vcry beginning it could easily be seen that the champion,;hip wa, to be hotly contested. The l. Ch .

'23 tied for second place. In the plaY'off Ch. E. '23 showed their old time form and were \'ictorious in landing the second berth . Continuing the form shown throughout the year in other sports. E . E. '23 led the first year league with Ch. E. '23 in seco nd place . The play"off of the semi-fi nals left the champio nship to be decided between M. E. '23 :lIld E. E. '23. Again the first year Electricians showed their superior skill as they defeated the boilermaker~ in the most exci tin g game of the seaso n by the close mar gi n of 6 to 5 .
