Two P r o f e s s o r s to Retire.

NNOUNCEMENT was made at the alumni dinner that two of the faculty, Professors Webb and Geyer, would retire a t the close of the present term. Sketches of the careers of these men, the loss of whom the Institute will deeply feel, are presented in the hope that they may be of interest to the readers of THESTUTE. Wm.

E. G e y e r .

William E. Geyer was born in 1848 at Naumberg, in the northern part of New York State. I n 1858 the family moved to New Brunswick, N. J., where he had the advantage of an excellent schooling. I n the higher classes he was impressed by a course in elementary physics and chemistry. His spare time and money, which before had been devoted largely to water-wh,eels, windmills, and the like, . were now given to making simple philosophical apparatus. From 1864 to 1869 he attended the College of the City of New York. Altho giving roost of his attention to his favorite studies, other studies were not neglected, so that he graduated with the highest honors and

T H E STUTE

w at once offered a position as assistant in chemistry at Bellevue

Hospital Medical College. The surroundings and atmosphere of a medical college were, however, not to his liking. In 1870, when the Stevens School was established, he applied for and obtained the position of Instructor in Mathematics and Natural Science. Pres. Morton, perceiving Dr. Geyer's devotion to science, at once invited him to spend his spare time at the Institute building, which was at that time nearing completion. As the apparatus for the new Institute gradually arrived, and as the new forms of it were developed, there began for him a great era of experimentation and investigation, which has been continued with but slight interruptions to the present day. Very little of this work has been ,published, however; for, unfortunately, perhaps, as far as poptilar reputation is concerned, the results of these numerous and various investigations were embodied in reports to corporations and courts in patent litigations. Many original observations and discoveries could not be made public until cases were decided, and on account of the slow course of the law this was generally too late for publication. Largely as a recognition of his necessarily unpublished investigations, the Institute, in 1880, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. When in the early eighties, electricity suddenly sprang into prominence, Stevens Institute became a Mecca for inventors who had ideas to develop, and for capitalists who wanted inventions tested. In all these tests Dr. Geyer took a prominent part, SO that in 1884, when it was considered desirable to establish a separate Chair of Applied Electricity, he was deemed the fitting occupant. Shortly after the death of Prof. Mayer, in 1897, Dr. Geyer was asked to take charge of the Department of General Physics, his work in the Department of Applied Electricity being somewhat moderated by his assistants, so that his title became Professor of General Physics and Applied Electricity. On the death of Pres. Morton, in 1902, the lectures which he had been accustomed to deliver naturally fell to Dr. Geyer, as did also the physical laboratory course, which it was considered advisable to give the students earlier than it had been done heretofore. The burden thus becoming too great, Dr. Geyer, at his request, was relieved from the work in the Department of Applied Electricity, so that now his title is Professor of Physics. Dr Geyer married Miss En~eliaK. Sauer, June 7, 1901. John B u r K i t t Webb.

J. Burkitt Webb, son of Charles Roe and Eliza Ann (Greaves) Webb, was born in Philadelphia, November 22, 1841. In his early training at the Philadelphia High School he showed a strong inclination for mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school, he worked in a store for some years,

THE STUTE

but never forgot his love for mechanical and physical problems. His father was an amateur machinist and inventor, and here in his father's workshop young Webb constructed many machines, some of which were of his own conception. I t was during this time that he took up calculus and higher mathenlatics. Finally he left the store and went to Bridgeton, N. J., where he formed a small company to make electro-magnetic apparatus for playing organs automatically. Here his taste for music was brought into practical use. The enterprise was abandoned, however, as the capital on hand was too small to carry it on. H e then took a position in a pipe-mill, and from there, as the war caused hard times, went to work on a medical journal, studying in the evening at the Franklin I n s t i t u t e Drawing School. I n 1863 he again started in business, building special machine tools, and in off-hours taught drawing and music, and in addition acted as an organist. The tool business prospered, but being in poor health and desirous of obtaining a better scientific education, in 1869, he entered the University of Michigan. H e was especially strong in mathematics, and by extra work, was able to skip a class. H e assisted Prof. Olney in his work in calculus, and after graduation was appointed an assistant to Prof. De Volson Wood, in the Civil Engineering Department. H e was then called to take charge of the Civil Engineering School in the Illinois State University, which under his efforts became the most efficient course in the University. During his professorship there he made several trips to Europe and purchased considerable apparatus. I n 1879 he resigned his professorship, after having spent a year in Europe, and devoted two- more to the study of pure mithematics, mathematical physics, logic, etc. H e also experimented in the laboratories of Heidelberg, Goettingen, Berlin, and Paris, making the acquaintance of many fanlous men. He spent a year in $ielmholtz's laboratory and constructed much apparatus for the study of the action of an oscillating current thru coils of

wire. He had the unusual privilege of using the apparatus in the instrument-makers' shop at the University of Berlin, becausf of his great skill with tools. He then spent a year at Paris, at. tending lectures at the Sorbonne and College de France. Thru Andrew D. White, then United States Minister toGermany and President of Cornell University, he was appointed in 1880 to the new Chair of Applied Mathematics at Cornell. While in this position he attained quite some prominence thru his novel inventions, and scientific articles and lectures. In 1886 he was called to his present position at the Institute, to succeed Prof. Wood, who in turn assumed the Chair of Engineering, vacated by Prof. Thurston. Professor Webb is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Mathematical Society, Congregational Club of New York, University of Michigan Round Table, and Point o' Woods Yacht Club. On April 19, 1876, he married Mary Emeline Gregory, eldest daughter of Hon. John M. Gregory, then President of Illinois University. Six children, all now living, were born to them. Prof. Webb has invented and patented many devices, among them being his "Floating- Dynamometer" and the "Viscous Dynamometer," and the " ~ ~ n a m o p h o n e . "He is also the author of a large number of scientific papers.

The annual meeting of the athletic association was held in the auditorium on Monday, March 18, 1907. Two hundred members were present, but considering the importance of the meeting there was an evident lack of interest. President Norris called the meeting to order at 4:15 P . M., and after the reading of the minutes, the treasurer's report for the past year was rendered, as follows : RECEIPTS.

taken up, as follows: By Roberts, awarding a grey Old English < S" on a red sweater to men winning their letter on the track, carried; by Roberts, that repeaters shall play on the team of, the class in which they are enrolled, carried; by Knoblock, to have a track manager appointed, defeated; by Roberts, to cease to award numerals to basketball teams, not voted upon. A motion was then made by Hagen awarding an "S" to cheer leaders who have served two years. This motion was laid ever until the next meeting. I t was moved by Sturken that the executive board arrange a system of electing cheer leaders, carried. As there was no further business, President Norris proceeded to explain the new system for the election of officers, and announced that votes could be cast on March 21 and 22, from 1 2 to 1. The nominations were as follows: For president-Sturken (declined), Roberts, Thayer , Henes, Youmans. For vice-president-Sturken, Van Buren, Inglee. . For secretary~Hendrick,H . Butler, Voigtiander. For assistant treasurer-Butler (declined), Hernandez (declined), Ballou, Ridgway , Spencer. For 1909 representatives on executive board-Fonda, Ter-' williger, Chandler, Vennema, Dolan. For 1910 representative-Meigs, Haines, Bartlett, Bristol, Cunningham. For ass't. football manager-Hansell, Vennema, Hearsey, 0'Neil. 1

Executive Board M e e t i n g s . I

At a meeting of the executive board of the athletic association, held on March 13, it was decided that the lacrosse department should receive sixty per cent. and the baseball department forty per cent. of the gate receipts of "double header" games. The move to have class baseball teams was thwarted-on the ground that there were now too many teams using the field in the spring. Money was appropriated to have an A. A. bulletin board erected, on which all athletic notices are to be posted and also the lists of men playing in every varsity and scrub game. -

The executive board was called on March 19 to act upon the protest, entered by the freshman class, in regard to the result of the interclass basketball game. Members of both the sophomore and freshman teams discussed the matter before the board, and it was ruled that the game was a tie and should be played over. A plan for the election of cheer leaders was also drawn up.

as meant to have been the third and deciding game phomore classes was played at Odd Fellows' Hall on Friday, March 15. The freshmen started at a fast pace and scored three baskets before the sophon~ore team pulled itself together. Towards the middle of the half, 1909 improved, and the score stood about even at the end of the period. The second half started like the first, the freshmen again setting the pace, but soon after the sophomores rallied and played steadily until the end of the game. Very little enthusiasm was shown until the middle of the second half, when Carnianx tied the score. At this point class yellsfollowed in quick succession until the game ended, the final result being 1 7 to 15 in the sophomores' favor, subject to a decision of the athletic association executive committee. The game was rather rough and was marked by poor shooting on fouls, together with an absence of team'work.

C h e s s Notes. On Saturday, March 16, the chess team played a ulaicn with the Hoboken Chess and Checkers Club and was defeated by a score of three games to two. T h e men who represented Stevens were: Schuck '07, Phelps '07, Hoexter '09, Peper '09, and Upson ' 10. The second and third rounds of the Institute tournament have been con~pleted,and the results are given below: Second round-Schuck '07, defeated Lane '08, Faber '07 defeated Harlow '08, Chandler '09 defeated Stranahan '10, Upson '10 defeated Starzenski '07, McCroden '09 defeated Wood '10, Inglee '08 defeated Phelps '07, and Landesmann '09 defeated Hoexter '09. Third round-Schuck '07 defeated Faber '07, Chandler '09 defeated Upson '10, and Inglee '08 defeated McCroden '09. Two more matches will probably be played-one with Polytechnic of Brooklyn and a return game with Rutgers. T h e interest in chess came too late in the season for a more extensive schedule, but much is to be expected for next year, as a schedule is now being prepared.

S e n i o r Class Meeting. A short business meeting was held by the senior classin Dr. Denton's room on March 14. A motion was carried that President Humphreys be asked to have the signatures of Dr. Jacobus, and Professors Wall and MacCord on the diplon~as. The senior dance committee was appointed and consists of the following men : Demarest, Dienst, Buensod, Mervine, Greene, Duhart, Hanmer, Phelps, Schem. T h e plans for the dance are quite amhitious and it is expected that a lare-e number will attend.

MERRITT B. LUM, Editor-in-Chief,

Editorial. The method of holding the recent election of officers of the athletic association is a credit to those in charge of tlie affairs of that body. Instead of the confusion and disorder Improve- which has heretofore marked occasions of this ment i n character, the election was carried out in a very Elections systematic manner with a result highly satisfactory to all concerned. The success of the new plan warrants its adoption in the future for all elections of any importance among the student-body. THESTUTEhas one suggestion to make, and that is that the scheme be extended to take in the process of nomination. As has been proposed before, a requirement might be laid down that each nomination must be made by a petition bearing a certain number of names, say ten, or fifteen, or twenty, according to tlie total number of eligible voters. This method would be a gnarantee of thoughtful and serious nomination. At this writing it seems to be very doubtful if we shall be able to use the new field for athletics this spring. The sod is still tender, and the ground is so soft that much N o "Home" harm would result from the rough usage attendGames? ant upon our hard-fought lacrosse and baseball contests. A complicated situation is now presented owing to the fact that the Cricket Grounds are in so unsuitable a condition. Whether it is better to put up with the incommodiousness of the old grounds for one more season, or to rent another and betterequipped field, is a question which is at present under consideration. If the latter plan is carried out, our teams will have to face the prospect of playing their home games upon a field which is practically as strange to them as to their opponents.

T H E STUTE

The coming retirement of two more of the Institute faculty, as announced at the recent alumni dinner, means a great loss to Stevens. Professors Webb and Geyer are in the Another foremost ranks in their respective fields of workLoss. are men who have brought honor to the College and who have been instrumental in building up the reputation the Institute at present holds in the world-at-large. I t will prove a difficult matter, indeed, to fill their places. That the "just must suffer with the unjust1' was never better exemplified than by some recent occurrences among the upper classmen. Some few men-a very few-so far ThinK forgot themselves as to take advantage of a priTwice, Etc. vilege granted to the men as a body to commit excesses which impaired the efficiency of the Institute's course. As a result the privilege was curtailed, so that men in no ways at fault, were forced to take entirely undeserved punishment. Any person with a sense of right and wrong must realize the injustice of this.

Faculty and Institute Notes. Metzger has been elected as class cheer leader by the sophomore class. The picture of last year's varsity baseball team together with the 1907 schedule appeared in Spalding's annual baseball guide, recent1y issued. The senior bowling team will roll a return match with the New York Law School team at Thum's this evening. Next Wednesday they will meet Columbia at the same place. Mrs. Frank L. Sevenoak died on Saturday, March 16, at Liberty, New York, where she has been living for some years 01 account of her health. Heartfelt sympathy is extended by T~fc, STUTE to Dr. Sevenoak in his sorrow. Prof. Pryor is trying to interest the officers of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in a proposition to admit students in the senior class of technical colleges as student members of the society. A number of Stevens seniors have signified their intention of joining if the plan is carried thru. During the past month Mr. Howard E. White delivered a course of four lectures to the senior class on subjects relating to the law which vitally concern the engineer and business man. The speaker took up successively contracts, agency, and partnership, giving such a clear idea of the requirements of each as will undoubtedly prove .of great value to the men after graduation.

THE STU'I'E

Engineering Society. T h e officers of the engineering society, elected at the fif[eenth regular meeting, for the second term of the present college year are as follows : president, Oliver C. Traver; vice-president, Albert Nauheim ; secretary, Otto S. Beyer, Jr. ; treasurer, Arthur E. Mervine. The new constitution, submitted by a committee appointed or the purpose, was adopted at the last regular meeting with a ew changes, after a long and lively debate. The object of the ociety, as stated in the constitution, is: to cultivate the powers >f thought and expression in its members thru papers and dis:ussions.. . ..).. . . . .and to bring before the society, speakers on subjects of general interest." I n order to encourage members to ake part in discussions, provisions have been made for rulings vhich clearly define the proper methods for introducing, discussng, and transacting business. Having adopted Robert's "Rules )f Order" for the authority on all questions of parliamentary law, he society intends to prepare a syllabus of this manual and present each one of its members with a copy. Any junior or senior proposed at a meeting by a member of ,-he society, an initiation fee of 25 cents accompanying his application, is eligible to active membership. Further than this there will be no regular payment of dues, necessary expenses being covered instead, by an equal assessment on each member. Hence it is seen that no hardships are imposed upon members, it sin~ply being required that each one have the interest of the society at heart, and act accordingly. Provision is also made for a regular monthly lecture on some topic of general interest. A standing committee, known as the lecture committee, has the arrangement of a schedule in hand. Prominent men are being secured to speak, on which occasions the whole student body is invited to attend.

Bowling. The senior bowling team played in the hardest kind of luck in a match with the New York Law School a t the Harlem Circle alleys on March 13. T h e Stevens men were badly beaten in the first game, but each of the other two contests resulted in a victory for New York by the narrow margin of one pin.

1908 Class M e e t i n g . A 1908 class meeting was called to order by President Kirkman on Wednesday, February 13. The reports of the junior prom. committee and of the treasurer were read and accepted. Sturken read the proposed constitution to govern the class, and after each part had been thoroly discussed, it was unanimously adopted. This constitution was prepared by a committee of five members acting in conjunction with President Humphreys, and it has been worked up in considerable detail. A t the President's suggestion, this constitution was written so as to apply to all classes and also to provide for a permanent class organization after graduation. The constitution will soon be posted, and it is to be hoped that the lower classes take action upon it. I t will undoubtedly establish a more orderly manner of conducting class business and will prevent any such trouble as was experienced early this year. -
