HOW DO YOU FIGHT? Did you tackle that trouble that came that way With a resolute heart and cheerful ?

Or hide your face from the light of day , With a craven soul and fearful ?

Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take i t ?

You are beaten to earth ? Well, well, what's that ?

Come up with a smiling faceIt's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there-that's disgrace.

The harder you're thrown, why, the highe?you bounce ; Be proud of your blackened eye !

I t isn't the fact that you're licked that counts, It's how did you fight-and why ?

And though you be done to the death, what then ?

If you battled the best you could, If you play your part in the world of men, Why, the Critic will call it good.

Death conies with a crawl, or comes with a pounce, And whether he's slow or spry, I t isn't the fact that you're dead that counts, F. B. ~ R B E R .

But only how did you die ?

Lectures by Dr. Waddell.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 4th, the Senior and Junior Classes assembled in the Auditorium and were favored with a lecture by Dr. J. A. I,. Waddell, of the firm of Waddell &. Hedrick, Engineers, on the considerations governing the writing of engineering contracts and specifications.

Necessarily this synopsis of an exceedingly important and difficult branch of engineering, given from the view-point of one who is a master therein, was very interesting and instructive, but if it is to produce a lasting effect it should be reprinted in full and distributed.

TO illustrate the general principles which were first laid down, the Doctor quoted from four contracts which he had recently drawn and which represent his present practice. These examples were so chosen that the greatest diversity of condition and circumstance was encountered and successfully covered and their study would be of very great value to the young engineer in any work involving contracting.

'

&I hour on Wednesday morning the Doctor spoke tormally to the Seniors on the general problems of mgtruction and, in the afternoon kindly granted the req class by continuing this subject for two more hours. "story of bridge construction was reviewed and many " i o l e t e forms-of trusses were sketched and discussed, it &own in conclusion what forms have survived and the reaso therefor. The Doctor laid great stress upon the importance of Atainjng rigidity as well as mere strength, in any structure of Ms kind and condemned the practice of reducing weights to the utmost at the expense of rigidity. Pivot or swing, separate span, ' santilever, rolling, lift, arch, suspension and various combing ions of the foregoing bridges were considered, the lecturer thenpassing to the discussion of elevated railway and viaduct con-' itructiun, and to details involved, such as the building of bridge sinking- of piles, methods of erection employed unde: rarious circumstances, etc .

Throughout his remarks illustrations from his own practict were introduced but with such modesty that it was difficult to believe that it was the man before us who had performed these magnificent engineering feats of which he spoke so simply.

Dr., J. A. L. Waddell is a graduate of Renssdaer and one Q most famous of American engineers. H e was for some year! a Professor at the University of Tokio and is a member of mes 'of the principal engineering societies of the world besides bearins other honors.

The principal business of the meeting was the first reading of the changes in the Constitution and By-Laws proposed by the Committee on Amendments at the last meeting of the Executive Board. The changes, as they stood at the close of the meeting, are as follows : SECTION2 of Article I11 now reads ; " The President, VicePresident and Treasurer are to be elected from the Junior Class, a n d the Secretary from the Sophomore Class. " ARTICLEI1 of the By-Laws now reads : " * * his (the Treasurer's) books shall, at all times, be open to the inspection of any member of the Executive Board and t& Faculty Advisory Board * * * ' ARTICLE;111 of the By-Laws has the following additional I I paragraph : The Freshman representative on the Executive Board, called custodian, to have charge and keep an inventory of all the Association property. ' ' ARTICLEVI, Section I , now reads : The Bxecutive Board, of which six shall constitute a quorum, etc. * * * " The second paragraph of Article X I now reads : " The delegates to the Football and Lacrosse Convention shall be the Manager of the team and an Alumnus chosen & the Executive Board."

An additional division " E " has been added to Article XV, I c Basket-Ball numerals will be awarded to reading : those men playing two inter-class games and sixty per cent. of the outside games."

I I ARTICLEXV, Section 5, now reads : A man winning four points in track or field events recognized by the Association will be awarded his numerals provided there are at least six contestants i n the event. ' ' There will be another reading in the near future, when the amendments will be finally acted upon.

It was voted at the last meeting of the Executive Board that a committee be appointed to keep the spectators at Varsity games in order and to keep said spectators off the field. The committee, as appointed, consists of achief Marshall from the Junior Class and twenty-one Marshalls from the Freshman Class as follows : Mudge, Chief Marshall ; Leonhard, Buckley, Hartford, Thayer, Knoblock, Halm, Atwater, A. E. Skinner, R. H. Watts, Matthews, Utz, Van Buren, Butler, Harris, bantry, Adams, Thomas, Wortman, Bennett, Morris and Spencer.

The resignation of Mr. W. S. K. Wainwright as Varsity Cheer Leader was accepted. Mr. G. H. Caffreywas uhanimously elected to succeed him, and he started right in by leading off a rousing long yell. Mr. Caffrey is to be congratulated on the

The second regular meeting of the Stevens Club of Newark @as held last Friday. After disposing of several business matters, including the election of a Finance Committee, the Club listened to a most interesting paper by Mr. Douglass of the Crocker, Wheeler Co., on Motor Driven Tools." This was illustrated by many drawings and tables especially prepared -by; Mr. Walker. The subject is of importance to every engineer and was very clearly presented. . ,.

The meeting was well attended, a number of '05 and '06men being present. The Club affords an excellent opportunity for Seniors and Juniors to get acquainted with the " Old Grads,'' and incidentally for acquiring a working knowledge of par&. mentary law. For the May meeting the members have planned to\ present various topics of engineering interest and. td open the! for discussion.

Lacrosse.

The playing of the team for the last two weeks has been rather erratic. The showing against the Crescent A. C. was very fine indeed. The men played with snap and ginger and kept their heads in critical moments. T h e defence showed great improvement over its form in the N. Y. I,. C. game, and the team work of the attack was also noticeably better. The playing of Erlenkoetter at goal deserves special mention. The C . C. N. Y , game, however, showed a big slump from the, form in the Crescent game. This was perhaps due to overconfidence and an easy opponent. T h e shooting, especially, was poor. The Columbia game was perhaps the fastest game ever played a t Hoboken.

The team was greatly outweighed and this no doubt accounted for a great deal, and we must bear in mind that Stack's arm was out of commission. From the side lines it seemed as though the players did not take enough chances at long shots. They tried to bring the ball into close range and often lost it before they had a chance to shoot. The playing of Turner, Davey, Demarest and Erlenkoetter was very good throughout. A short account .*", of the games follows. ,1'CRESCENT A. C. A cold north-west wind from the bay was blowing across the field when the teams lined up on Saturday, April 8th, at Bay Ridge. We obtained the ball directly from the face-off and by clean passing in the attack, McKinlay scored the first goal after about one-half minute of play. Immediately after this, goals were scored by Davis and Roberts, without the ball leaving our attack. On the next face-off the Crescents settled down to work but our defence checked and covered up so well .that it was not until after ten minutes of the hardest work that O'Flynn scored the first point for the Crescents. During this period Erlenkoetter stopped several hard shots for goal. The next score was more in the shape of a stroke of good luck for the Crescents, for in a mix-up in front of our goal, the ball was rolled in. Score 3-2.

The attack then took the ball down the field again and one of the most spectacular goals of the game followed, from an underhand shot by McKinlay. Our defense was playing a beautiful game and many attempts to score by the Crescents were stopped.

Finally O'Flynn caged the ball, making the last point of the first half. Score, Crescent A: C .-3, Stevens-4.

When the teams came on the field for the second half, Demarest had taken Cornstock's place, and Wall and Liffiton had been substituted in the Crescent line-up. The team work of the Crescents was now much better, and three goals were soon shot

by Wall, Raymond and O'Flynn, making the score 4-6. Here OW attack obtained the ball but the Crescent defense played SO close that no score resulted. Wall then shot Crfeseetits; In. a .sharp scrimmage in front of LLikuL .a . , -+

T H E STUTE

Stewart scored Columbia's first, from a pass by Hoyns. The pace was fast and the ball went from one end of the field to the other, Erlenkoetter making several beautiful stops. Columbia's defense seemed to have solved our method of attack, and stopped all attempts at scoring. Twice our shots were spoiled by the ball hitting the frame work of the goal. The ball then went down to Columbia's attack, and in the melee which resulted, the ball was rolled in, in spite of the fact that both Gordon and Erlenkoetter were lying in front of our goal. The next point was gained in a somewhat similar manner. The shot by Stewart hit Gordon and caromed off into the net. A few minutes later the whistle blew. Score, Columbia+, Stevens-3.

The second half was equally as fast as the first. Both team ; played desperately. Time and again Davey and Demarest saved the ball for our attack by intercepting long shots. Our attack took the ball down time and again, but failed to score, although . all the shots were close. Finally Hoyns made another goal for Columbia, which was soon followed by one from McKinlay.

Both teams now showed the effects of the hard and fast play.

Shortly before the end of the half, referee Richards put Stewart out of the game for 1%minutes, for fouling Demarest. Score, Columbia-5, Stevens-4. The line up : STEVENS. E~~~ENK~STTER GORDON

The Base-Ball team opened the season at the Cricket Grounds on Saturday, April 8; its opponents being the strong team from St. Francis Xavier College of New York. The result of the game was a victory for Stevens to the tune of 9 to 6 .

The game was closely contested up to the sixth inning, neither side scoring. Then a single by Ridgeway, a triple by H e n s and a sacrifice hit by Beckman netted two runs for Stevens.

The New Yorkers succeeded in tying the score in the next inning on a base on balls, a triple and an error by Stevens.

Stevens kept up the good work in their half by scoring three more runs, then an error and hits by Henes and Ridgeway.

The visitors were blanked in their half of the next inning", while Stevens scored 4 more runs on a single by Matthews, a free base to Perkins on being hit by pitcher, a three bagger by Critchlow, scratch hit by Sturges and a sacrifice by Henes.

The New Yorkers made Stevens feel rather uneasy for a while in the ninth, when, with two out, .they succeeded in getting four men across the plate, then singles by O'Reilly, I?.

Rafter and three errors by Stevens, but Stancliffe finally ended the suspense by being an easy out, Critchlow to Kelsey. The line-up and score were as follows : STBVENS. r. h. po, Henes ss Jiidgewd cf, Beekmanlb.

The base-ball team slumped badly on Saturday when Pratt Pratt hit Institute took it into camp by a score of 22-7hard and consecutively and when once started, a major league pitcher could not have stopped them. Stevens also hit well but showed poor judgment on the bases and in the field. A large squad of players was tried out and it is felt that'at the end of atlother week, in spite of the poor practice facilities at Castle Point, combination can be selected, which will go through the rest of tfle schedule with credit.

T o the Editor o f The Stute.

Several weeks ago during the strike of the employees of the Subway and Elevated Roads of New York, a hundred or more college students took the places of the strikers. They took those positions more for the novelty or excitement of the thing than for any other reason; possibly the few dollars earned attracted some, for surely no further benefit could have resulted.

Self-preservation is the first law of nature. The workman's defense lies in the labor unions and strikes are his weapons.

The question whether or not this particular strike was justified, does not enter here; it certainly was not considered by the student employees. I consider strike-breaking on the part of the students a mean practice, and one which will not foster a spirit of friendliness between the masses and college-trained men.

The injury comes, not so much in having merely taken the striker's jobs, but in that it is a severe blow to labor-unionism, inasmuch as it will diminish the latter's. confidence in striking8s the means of procuring their demands. The other strike-breakers were men out of work and in need of money, which was not however the case of the students. The latter were very mu$ like little boys destroying bird-nests, all done for the fun of it* Technical students in particular, I think, cannot afford to indulge in this sport, for they, more so than students of any other branch of knowledge, must come into more or less intimate contact with the laboring class. Let the strikers and their aployers fight it out themselves.

If any of your readers find fault with the sentiments herein expressed, ?erhaps you would consen fanning their views.

Faculty Notes.

The Faculty are arranging a series of special lectures to be delivered to the Seniors during the thesis term.

The concrete work of the new Chemical laboratory will be begun in about a week.

The new boiler which has been presented to the Institute by the Babcock & Wilcox Co., is now practically erected and will probably be running within a week.

The Institute has purchased copies of " ~ Pontibus" e Dr. Waddell's book on bridge construction, and the "Prpfessional Papers of Dr. Waddell, " edited by J. 1,.Harrington.

Two books, "Standard Specifications of the N. Y. Central

R. R. " and "Standard Plans of the N. Y. Central R. R. " have been presented to the Institute through the kindness of Mr. W. J. Wilgers, vice-president of the company.

Prof. Denton has recently been engaged at Pittsburg in testing a new system of making plate ice by employing such low temperatures that freezing is accomplished in forty-eight hours instead of in five or six days, as has heretofore been necessary.

The demand for Stevens graduates by engineering firms already exceeds the number to be turned out this year. Of the applications received by Prof. Jacobus, fifteen are from the General Electric Co. Prof. Ganz has received about twenty-five most of which have already been accepted.

The Freshman surveying practice will this year be in charge of Prof. Pryor and will begin within a few days. The field of operation has been changed from the old chestnut to the new Castle Point grounds. The surveying periods will be taken out of the time now devoted to shop-work. ,

The Faculty Committee on mathematics will have the examination questions ready for distribution to the Sophomore Class within a week. The questions will cover the second year's work in mathematics. The examination will be held some time in June. A similar one will be given to next years' Sophomores but will cover the first two years' work on that subject.

The Institute is in receipt of a letter from the State Department at Washington, stating that Mr. B. Heaton, Principal of the Civil Engineering College at Silpur, Bengal, is coming to study the systems of technical education in the United States and Canada. The authorities of Stevens have been requested to render him all possible aid in the accomplishment of his,qissiqq. .

Base-ball matters are not very bright at present. The< Faculty rule which 'prohibits men who have more than bne co'nf. dition from playing on 'any team, has proved a great hindrance to the candidates. Many of the best men failed to pass their .term examinations and also failed to pass the re-examinations allowed by the Faculty. This weakened the team so much that at first it was thought advisable to give up base-ball. A meeting, at which Dr. Sevenoak and Prof. Carter were present, was held and it was finally decided to form a team and carry out the schedule. Captain Henderson resigned, in order to give more time to his studies and Goeken, '05 was elected temporary ., Captain.

NOWthat a team is assured, it is hoped that every fellow will buy an Athletic Association ticket and thus help the team with his support and by.his presence at all the games. " H . R. B. ( S . 8. '05) Mgr. ^ . , r
