been arranged for at Glen Ridge. AS has been stated before, this is the one annual" at which the fellows are sure to be treated royally. Every member of every club should make a note of the date, May 3, and keep it open for Glen Ridge. The Stevens quartet is booked for a concert at the Central Presbyterian Church, Orange, for May 16. f

^The Link." The editors of The Link of 1907 wish to announce that this year's annual will soon be out. The book is now entirely in the hands of the printer, and it will appear just as soon as the presses can turn it out, There has been considerable unavoidable delay which most students understand, but the board has done its best under the circumstances. The editors, while realizing that they must in general follow the lines of other boards, have striven to introduce a little originality, and they believe that the book, which is dedicated to Dr. F. I,. Sevenoak, is of surpassing excellence. I n the cover all pretense of- elaborateness has been avoided, and a simple but pleasing design has been selected. The usual grinds, knocks, statistics, etc., find their place in the book, but in addition there have been introduced new ideas which will best explain themselves when the book appears. There haye been an unusual number of contributors, both literary and artistic. This has allowed the editors considerable choice in making their selections of drawings and stories. I t is hoped that every student will subscribe for at least one book; he owes it to his college to support the year book. I t is a surprising fact that the seniors do not show more support; quite a number have not yet subscribed. They do not realize that their library will not be complete without the four volumes of The'Link which cover their college life. The other classmen should remember that The Link contains their class histories,, the records of their class victories, the class pictures and also the good humored criticism of some of their friends.

"Engineering of Illumniatiun." On Wednesday afternoon a large number of students were entertained by an address by F. B. Marks, a graduate of Cornell, and formerly president of the Illuminating Engineering Society. lecture was accompanied by lantern slides, and proved very interesting. Mr. Marks showed what great improvement could ba made in effective illumination, a subject little known of or studied before the work undertaken by his society. Great advances are expected from the better utilization of natural and artificial light over the results of bygone methods.

Lacrosse. So far the team has come up to expectations. The C. C. N. Y. game resulted about as usual, but the strength of the Stevens team could not be well judged because of the weakness of the New Yorkers, The Stevens attack and defense showed up well for most of the game with the New York Lacrosse Club, and the New York men say the team is better than last year's. The Columbia and Harvard games are to be played within a week-Columbia to-morrow, and Harvard on next Friday. These matches should be good ones, and it is hoped that the undergradnates and alumni will support the team, not only by their presence, but by bringing their friends with them. Stevens has not played Harvard since 1902, when Â ¥ t hgame was a tie, and has not beaten the Cambridge team since 1899. I n order to run a schedule as that of this year-successfully either financially or in gaining victories, the management and team must have the support of the alumni and undergraduates. Stevens 9-C.

If the lacrosse team from C . C. N. -Y., after playing a tie game with New York Lacrosse Club, came to Hoboken on Wednesday, with visions of victory, their aspirations received a severe shock; for they proved no match for the fast play of the Stevens men. The game was called at 4:10 and after a little delay, Starzenski was the first to try to score, but he failed, and the ball went back to the defense. I n two minutes of play, Drinkwater shot a goal, after some little scrimmage. From this time on, the play was mostly in the C. C. N. Y. territory. After five minutes

play, Drinkwater again scored for Stevens on a pass Roberts. T h e ball was faced off, and Drinkwater made I t was blocked, however, and the ball went to the elms obtained the elusive sphere and brought it to here Starzenski added another to the tally. was again brought to the center of the field andi t into play, At this period the Stevens defense seemed to be, ittle over confident; for Pierson scored C.

THE STUTE

disposing of Columbia to the tune of three to nothing, felt confident of taking the Stevens team into camp, but they had an unpleasant surprise awaiting them. In less than a minute after the ball was faced off, Starzenski scored the first goal for Stevens. The ball was again put into play, and it came to the Stevens attack, where Drinkwater shot near enough to hit one of the goal posts. This seemed to upset the team, and the playing for a while was wild. Before the men pulled together the opponents were allowed to shoot twice for the goal, but both shots were stopped by Sturken. From this time on the game was decidedly Stevens. After a scrimmage in front of the opponents goal, Wiley scored the second tally on a pass from Spencer. The ball then went up and down the field, but the Stevens defense never let the visitors" get a shot at the goal. At this point Spencer made a clever shot for a score, while the New York goal keeper was holding a friendly conversation with one of the players. From this time until the end of the half the shbooting at the New York goal was almost regular, and many fine stops were made by the vistors' goal keeper. It was about this time that our attack showed a decided improvement, and just before the half closed Starzenski made the final tally. The half ended with the score four to nothing in Stevens favor. The New York players started the second half with what, to the spectators, looked like an intent to kill. The opponents tried desperately to score, but our team soon took the ball. The attack had many shots at the goal, but the goal keeper was always in the way. This individual, by the way, played an exception ally fine game. The New York players tried hard to score, bu could not get past our defense, until Hughes, Stevens ex-'07 succeeded in landing the ball in the cage on an unlucky pass making the opponents' only tally. Stevens had several more chances to score, but failed to take advantage of them. T l e game ended with -the score: Stevens 4, New York Lacrosse Club 1. The line-up: N. Y. L. C .

Lafayette Game Cancelled.

The baseball game with Lafayette, scheduled for Wednesday of this week at Easton, was called off on account of the bad condition of the grounds. I t is to be regretted that this game could not be played, inasmuch as it would have been an excellent chance for the Stevens team to show what it could do against a top-notcher in the baseball line.

Tennis Activities.

The annual meeting of the tennis club was held on Tuesday, March 26. T h e following officers were elected for the ensuing year: president, R. E. ~ u t l e r'08; vice-president, K. W. Lemcke '08; secretary, R. W. Smith '09; treasurer, F. H. Ballou '08; manager, H. P. Dunbar '08. Courts have been secured at the Cricket Grounds, and plans are being made for a tournament to decide the class champions and the Institute champion.

Editorial. Good work is being done by a number of Stevens students in the publicity line. Accounts of our baseball and lacrosse games have been appearing regularly in New York, Publicity. Hoboken, and Newark papers, while other college events have received such space as their importance warrants. Altho these correspondents are well recompensed for their trouble, the Institute as a whole is being benefited in no small manner by this advertising."

Faculty and Institute Notes. At a recent meeting of the junior class, Halm and A. E. Skinner were elected class cheer leaders. Various members of the faculty have received applications from industrial concerns for this year's graduates. A number of seniors have already accepted positions. George W. Hoyns, A. M. Vail, and Dudley A. Polyhemus, former members of the class of 1907, were back at the Institute last week, renewing old acquaintances. The Stevens Club of Newark will have an important meeting at Achtel-Stetter's this evening. At that time plans will be dlscussed looking to an increase in nlembership and interest in the club.

A representative of the Westinghouse Electric an turing Co. spoke to the junior and senior classes on

THE STUTE

of last week about the apprenticeship course in that concern. I t is understood that a number of this year's graduates will take up this line of work. Plans for the senior dance are progressing favorably, and the committee in charge has promised that this year's event will out-do all previous functions of this character. The dance will be held in the Carnegie laboratory on Thursday, April 25.

The reason for the h a g delay in submitting this report lies in the fact that the ent was unable to get in touch with the 1906 members of the clubs of last year and also to the fact that I have just recently been able to collect the final .money due from the classes on account of the damage at the smoker of last year.

The January 641ndicator." The January Indicator has at last appeared, containing much is interesting and instructive. Every student will find in ercial and tech-

a technical man. The president is strongly in favor of a more liberal education for the technical student, of instruction in the principles of business and sociology so valuable to the man of tlie world. Mr. F. W. Taylor, at the opening of his address, disclaim5 my experience in educational problems, but at once shows that he has thought very deeply and wisely of the training of the commercial engineer. He holds that the majority of college men are of little value until two years after graduation, explaining the -eason for this lost time, and giving educational plans for a more ifficient preparation for one's life work. Professor Ganz's profound and con~prehensivepaper, ' T h e psical Meaning of Power Factor and the Significance of a Power P actor Less Than Unity without Phase Difference, " delivered aefore the Franklin Institute, contains many interesting-looking curves and formulae. Two lectures delivered before the senior class and of gredi. value to the engineer are reprinted in this number of The Indicator. "The Utilization of Labor" by Mr. H. I,. Gantt '84 treats of scientific investigation into the methods of doing work and the great saving of time by performing a task in the right way. Mr. William 0. Ludlow '92, in "Reinforced-Concrete Construction" shows what a great and rapidly growing field this style of construction has and covers some of the main principles 3f concrete work. Mr. B. F. Hart '87 advocates the use of cooling towcis without forced draught and explains why they are more efficient than those fitted with fans. His paper was'read before the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers. Professor Bristol in a short article describes and shows the advantages of his newly invented electric furnace. 111 looking over the Alumni Notes, one realizes the eminence of our alumni in the engineering world and finds that the highest honors are being bestowed upon our graduates in every branch of engineering. The institute and undergraduate notes are necessarily dead lews for all undergraduates.
