Boom-Rah ! Boom-Rah ! Boom-Rah! Stevens. MEN OF STEVENS :Have you heard the call? Do you know all about the prep; arations to welcome you back to the old "stute" on Alumni Remuon Day, June 9, 19087 Have you done anything to boom your class reunion so that the spirit may catch each find every one ? That other fellow who was always ready to do what you proposed at college-is he a bit backward about the matter,then buy him a bit of ribbon, a kazoo, a tin horn, or what he thinks he needs and take him with you to Hoboken. If the fellow has developed a pronounced new tendency-if a fool, let him bring a clown's costume ; if a lazy man, get some one to wheel him ! If your class is a good one, spend a little money and get a show worth looking at. If your class is cheap and does not care for Stevens' future, put your money in your pocket and stay at home. We want you, and we want, too, to let people know that S%z~en~ has the @ro&erspirit! Do you think your class is the prize winner? Then come and see who wins the prize, and bring with you your friendsand the ladies who are true to the red and gray ! Why not fill Your auto with friends to see the fun ? 'I'here will be lots of old-time college spirit and enthusiasm commingled with the blare of trumpets and the flutter of flags! and the sober, dignified graduate will be seen again as of old when he was one of the boys and when the winning team was Stevens !

THE STUTE been made by the Alma Mater-the new buildings, new grounds, the field and the field house, and the expanded, broader vision of the whole place ? If it is true that progress has marked in bright colors the onward path of Stcvens, then it is right that Stevens nieu, old and young, shall meet to celebrate and joy in the thing, and the new field will be the gayest and prettiest sight in the country on this the first great Alumni Day ! And then, too, the red letter day, June 9, 1908, will mark the beginning of greater things. Recognition by all the graduates of what is going on in Hoboken means upholding the hands of our President, the man who, too, is one of us. If you ask the committee why they dare to say that this day is certain of success they reply that now, a month before the great fete, classes are organized and getting ready, in waysquite i i i the spirit of the texl-Boom-rah ! Bcom-rali ! Bocm-ra11 ! Stevens ! listen to one report in hand from a class of theearlier days : I' Regarding Alumni Day, the celebrated class of.. .......(committee dare not disclose the name) will be ondeck with brass bands and colors flying and empty beer kegs for the biersof itsenemies. Give us plenty of room ,.............................Yours truly" And hear what others say :' T h i s good news, this awakening at Steveiis of that good cheer, etc." .................. "The Class of '93 is whooping it up for a grand gathering of the clan on this, its 15th anniversary." And then again, gossip is rife that the '97 gate will soon be swinging on its hinges, and through its piers of stone an avenue shall be formed in which will follow much good fellowship and loyalty for Stevens and for the undergraduate ! This undergraduate some day may be your own boy-in any case the young men on the campus to day are the men who will have to uphold in the future all the old traditions and the name and fame of our old "Stute". Shall we keep i n touch with their hopes and aspirations ? Then come ! Will the undergraduates respond ? Come and see ! Also, who will say that this day will not tell with the Faculty and the Trustees of the Institute? Will not these men too note with pleasure a demonstration of loyalty and love of college, fostering the strength of our Alma Mater? Then come ! You men who want Stevens to be referred to as par exlence", who feel the force of our n~otto, Per Aspera ad tra", make this an occasion worthy of an especial effort ! Besides the picked brass band and the marquee tent, where good things aplenty will abound, there will be dignified proceedings too-Come and see ! So that you may know all about it if your committee has not yet reached you, a program of the day is printed on the first

Interclass Lacrosse.

The sophomores opened the inter-class lacrosse series, Wednesday, May 6 , by defeating the freshmen by a score of 6 goals to 1. After two minutes of play, Stillman caged the ball for the freshmen, making their only tally. During the remainder of the first half the ball was ineffectively carried up and down the field, except twice when Cunningham broke the n~onotonyby scoring for the sophomores. During the second half the sophs had their own way, scoring our more goals, making final score 6 to 1.

Communication. To the Graduates and Undergraduates of Stevens Institute : GENTLEMEN :I take this opportunity to present, as nearly as possible, the attitude of the Senior Class towards the coming commencement. T h e Class is furthering, to the end of its resources, every means of making commencement week a big success at Stevens. Now that we have a magnificent athletic field, and stand before the country with a well defined policy of progression, the time for apologies is past. Extensive and far-sighted plans for the future have been developed and it now becomes imperative for the graduates and undergraduates to introduce customs and forms in keeping with these iniproven~ents. Here we have formed the habit of apologizing. We s a j ell no. We do not do such and such a thing, like they do at this or that college because this is an engineering college and, and, and, etc." There shall be no apologies to friends of the Senior Class this year. T o carry out this fine resolution we require the co-operation of the Alumni and the lower classmen. We greatly appreciate the encouragement already received from the graduates, and shall carry out, as nearly as possible, every suggestion made by the Alumni Committee for the Grad-

nates*Reunion Day.

T h e undergraduates feel that their position is stronger when the Alumni back their undertakings. We hope that the Alumni will encourage and help us during graduation week. We are trying to set standards for the future. If the Alumni attend our commencement exercises with enthusiasm and in large numbers, no doubt 1909 will try to out-do 1908 when their turn comes. We desire that this should be so. One Alumnus in attendance at an athletic game or a student function is worth two in an office. I t is also necessary that the lower classmen help us. We beseech large attendance at our affairs and feel confident that our fondest hopes will be realized. Respectfully yours, THOS.W. KIRKMAN, President, Class 1908.

Baseball. Stevens 3-Ursinus

Faculty and Institute Notes. Prof. Ganz has been appointed by the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity of the Borough of Brooklyn as expert to conduct the acceptance tests of equipment at the reserve high pressure fire service station at Willoughby and St. Edward's Streets, Brooklyn. Prof. Pryor will be associated with Prof. Ganz in these tests and will take charge of the hydraulic nieasurements, while Prof. Ganz will have charge of the electrical measurements. Mr. Bauer, the senior member of Bauer & Co., the largest concern in the world engaged in the manufacture of medicinal chemicals, was a recent visitor to the Morton Laboratory. He was very much impressed with it, and said he believed there was no building of its class to compare with it, especially as regards ventilation, unless perhaps the new chemical laboratory of the University of Berlin. The conclusions of the Committee on Electrolysis of the American Gas Institute, to which Prof. Ganz was ConsultingElectrical Engineer, have been published in pamphlet form together with Prof. Ganz's paper on Theory of Electrolytic Corrosion", and a reprint of his lecture delivered before the American Gas Institute, entitled "Electrolysis". T h e paper will later be distributed to the upper-classmen. l l

Dr. Sevenoak has commenced his work with the juniors and is giving them practical work in bookkeeping etc. in connection with Pres. Humphreys' course in Business Engineering. Up to this date the work has proved very interesting-, and it will enable the students to grasp the subject in a much more con~prehensivemanner than heretofore.

Senior Dance. On Thursday, May 7, the seniors assembled for the annual dance in Carnegie laboratory. Many novelties were introduced in the way of decorations and arrangements, but space is lacking for a detailed description. T h e lecture room was transformed into a lawn, with a brook and pond in its centre and at the front a roomy veranda. Swings, cosy corners and canaries added to the reality of tlie scene. Supper was served in the Library of the main building shortly after midnight. Altho the weather was not of the best, there was a good attendance and no one regretted having ventured out. ROS.

Alumni Notes. Dr. Denton has recently received, from Mr. Keuchi Abe '99, spme interesting post cards, giving photographic views of the new turbine ships built by the Mitsu-Bishi Dock Yard & Engine Works at Nagasaki, Japan, with which Mr. Abe is actively associated. The last card shows the new (first) turbine warship for the Japanese Navy, which has the following dimensions : l e n g t h 300 ft. ; breadth, 31 ft. 6 ins. ; depth, 18 ft. ; displacement, 1350 tons ; speed 23 knots ; 3 Parsons turbines ; shaft horsepower, 8000. Twin ruddeis. The Engineerins Record of May 9, 1908, contains an interesting article by A. 11. Potbury '05. The article is entitled "The Power Plant of the American Biscuit Co., San Francisco." A most interesting part of the article is the description of heating the building by means of the utilization of the waste heat of the chimney. G. A. Trube '90, is manager of the Traction and Motor Depnrtment of The British Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. CO. S. I,. G . Knox '91, vice-president of the Pucyrus Company, of South Milwaukee, was elected president of the Milwaukee

Metal Trades Association at its annual meeting on January 30. Mr. Knox, the new president, is one of the younger figures in Milwaukee iron manufacturing circles, but his work in various directions, especially for the introduction of the Bucyrus steam shovel upon the Panama Canal, has attracted national attention. -Tde Iron Trade Review. F. M. Oppermann '94, is manager of the Nordish Plate Glass Works which is located in Russia.

G. E, Kirsten '00, was married to Miss Gertrude H. Lexow on March 10, 1908. T h e bride is a sister of Allan T.Lexow '05. Carl F.Dietz '01, has been carrying on investigations in ore n~illingat London, preparatory to installing a new plant above the Arctic Circle in Norway. If this plant proves satisfactory, it will be in~mediatelyenlarged to a capacity of 500 tons of ore per day. V. E. Royle '02, was married to Miss Viola K. Graham on January 28, 1908. C . M.

Class Notes. I t has been moved by the officers of the Class of 1909, that all juniors co-operate with the seniors to keep the proceedings of "Farewell Day" as orderly as possible. T h e juniors will do this -by keeping order themselves and hope that the other two classes will follow their example.

A party of thirty-five men from the Sophomore Class spe a most interesting day with Dr. Pond, visiting the blast furna of the Wharton Steel Co., Wharton, N. J., on Saturday, Ma As two of the furnaces were undergoing repairs, an excel opportunity was afforded to thoroly inspect their construction. It was possible to mount the shaft, where the charging apparatus could be closely examined and an excellent view of the entire plant obtained. At eleven o'clock, the slag was tapped from the one furnace in operation, and, while plugging up the hole, a gush of molten material suddenly burst forth, flying some fifty feet or more, and scattering the fellows, who were watching the operation. Luckily no more serious results occured than the destruction of the clothes of some of those nearest the furnaces. G, Lunch was. obtained at Dover, two miles from Whartoii, .i$ and, when Dr. Pond was given a farewell cheer, everyone felt that it had indeed been a pleasant and most interesting trip. A R$ , ,?-

Lacrosse. Stevens 4-Lehigh 8.

On Saturday, May 9, Stevens lost its second game in the championship series, at South Bethlehem, Pa., by a score of 8 to 4. Lehigh has been defeated by both Swarthmore and Johns Hopkins, so a victory to-morrow at Swarthmore, will save us from humiliation of the tail end position in the league. The game was characterized by rough work thruout ; the total time of play was drawn out to over one and a half hours on account of time required for attending injuries. The Lehigh rooters in the grand stand took their usual attitude and displayed a very unsportsmanlike spirit, applauding and encouraging rough playing. The ball was faced off at 3:10 and after a few minutes of play Harrower shot a goal for Lehigh ; Cunningham soon followed with a goal for Stevens and Osbourne with another forLehigh. The play was fast and both attacks tried many shots at goal, but the ball was in the Stevens defense most of the time. Harrower, Osbourne and Norris scored for Lehigh ; Brewer and Armstrong got thru the defense and scored for Stevens. The first half ended in a shower of rain with the score 5 to 3 in favor of Lehigh. During the second half there was more rain which made the field slippery and prevented fast and accurate playing. Lehigh caged the ball three times more while most of our shots went wide or were shot from too far out, the hard playing of the Lehigh defense preventing closer attack. Just before the close of the game Roberts scored the final goal for Stevens making the score 8 to 4. The line-up : STSVSVIS.

Y. M. C. A. To-day there is in our colleges a movement which, thirty years ago, did not exist in any organized form. But due to the persistent efforts of the leaders, this movement has entered into the life of nearly every college in our country. Its object is to join in earnest, definite, Christian work those men who are interested in thisphase of life, and to bring every college man face to face with the more serious-the spiritual-hide of his life. Three years ago a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association was organized at Stevens. This organization has grown steadily until at present there is a membership of fifty men. T h e officers of the organization have decided to push this work tnore vigorously than ever next 5 ear, and have laid their plans accordingly. I n order to carry out these plans we hhall need at least one hundred dollars. Our present source of money will not provide us more than thirty per cent. of this amount. We look to you for the remainder. The extent to which this work will be carried forward next year will, to a great extent, depend upon the support which you give us. If you support us heartily we are confident that the association will increase fifty per cent. Now get behind this movement,-and push. Don't leave it to the other alumni, but do something yourself. I t -won't take many small checks to give us the necessary amount-so chip in, and send us a check to-day. JOHNS . WARE, President -
