SANGUINET, MORRILL!
AND FERRIN HEARD
IN SEMINAR TALKS1
Carl Arnold Kortuni, a German poet,
one© wrote a Iouk burlesque called
•The Joblad," which was exceeding
ly popular and became called "The
Jobsiad," which was exceedingly pop-
ular and became a German classic. It
uintatnn among other things a copy
of a letter from the student Hieront*
inns to his parents:
Dear and Honored Parents,
I lately
Have suffered for want of money
Ki-eatly;
Have the goodness, then, to send
without fail,
A trifle or two by return mall.

Senior •>nuiini'k of Ihe lusiiiute
met last Friday afternoon in; their
n-Ktilnr session of seminar to hear
three talks Klven- by members of the
• nj! ItiffI'Itik seliool.
K. I-.", I'Vrr.lii spoke on the subject
of "The ' si* of the (tsclllograph for
Measiit in j .Von electrical Quantities."
Mr, Kerrin stated tluu the oseillu-
i-'i'.'l'h lias been considered as an in-

electrical \otages and currents. Ue-

the plclllOKraph io obliiin an accu-

Phillip Morrill chose as liis subject

scribed -segpral experiments that were
l rforined to deterinlne tlie general
lifiture of the swage (ifId that exists
from t lie use of various types of
nozzles and from Ihe discharge angle.
Seminar meets again this afternoon
io hear ihree. talks. Wilbur Wright
is to >peak on "Industrial Heating by
Kleeirielty." Kgerton Itohb will speak
on "The' Theoretical Considerations
KiiJ.lov.ei! in the I'rohlem of Carbon
I'drtnation ill Automobile Khgilies."
I-'. II Wall's is to discuss "Stream

And eM't-ythitlg is growing higher,
lodging and waslilng, and lights and
fire.
I And Incidental expenses every day—
Send me the ducats without delay.
You can hardly perceive the enormous
expenses
The college Imposes on ail pretenses,

lo pay -
I wish the ducats \Vere on their way.

tention -■
One thing I musi not forget to nien-
| t ion:
i The ihirty ducats, pray send tlieiu
straight
For my purse is in a beggarly state.
When other students revel and riot,
I steal away Into perfect quiet,
And shut myself up with my books
and light
In. my study chniiiber till late at
night,
['Ten hours each bay 1 spend at the
college,
Drinking at. the fount of knowedge,
Slid -when tht? lectures come to an

; Herewith I close my letter, repeating
To you and al my friendly greeting,
• And subscribe myself, without further
fuss,
Your obedient son,
Hieronlniiis,
1 add in a postscript which I neg-
lected
To say. beloved and highly respected,
Parents, 1 beg most filial^,
you'll forward the money as
soon as may be,
It la impoBsilbls to give recogni-
tion to all those deserving it for their
work in the past Engineering Show,
but there are a few who have come
to the attention of their fellow stu-
dents, These few and others merit
special mention for their efforts. It
lis regretted that all who should be
commended can not be.
Several students sacrificed the per-
sonal glory of an exhibit of their
I own to help others in their work
i whenever needed. Chieif among
j these was clovis Harlitider. who
| created all the exhibit signs for the
j entire show. His excellent and j
! never ceasing work was a very great;
j contribution to the show, uran
j lyncher played the role in the i| E >
idepartment of the hundy-tnan, ready'
^ to help anybody willingly.
The work of the malingers and
i their assistants Is recognized, but
the work of Hill Van Xlimit, Lee
j Johnson and Wilbur Wright can not ■
be over-valued. Dan .Mendel), he of
: the short logs, organised a traffc de- i
tail and complete traffic plans, then
handled the traffic as it has never
been handled before. Those who
.looked out Etcriiss the parking lots
and the swarms of people partially
realized the tremendous job Danny
handled.
Fred Mnhnffey comes in for a bit of
credit, also. General ad\ Iser to
everybody In the R. E. department,
the radio car on which Tie had worked
since September failed at the last
! minute. Fred took it "standing up"
and kept working.
Credit must go t.i Louis Hosen-
berg of the new Psychology depart-
part for the splendid exhibits of his
j department. Those several who fided
him deserve praise, also.
| The appreciation of the entire en-
;gincerinp school goes to those cam-
i pus employees who so readily sacri-
ficed their time and eiu-rgy to as-
sure the success of the show. Enough
praise cannot go to them.
I'tnally, a Irlbut-- by all llairyears
'in the head of it all: Egerton Kobb.
I the general mun-u;'t. The story of
'his work need not be told; all are
: familiar with the areat projects ho
! put nu-r. May lie have me success
' In- so richly deserve:*.

iiiiiisly, altho .t i■iii'.t 1,'iiied perfectly.
In these t ic ■ s either elaborate prepa-
ration was required, or else (as in the
case of the musical steam whistle) an
attempt was being made to minimize
annoyance to our neighbors
Especially was the effect of care-
fill planning and courtesy apparent in
the handling of traffic and parking.
The great numbers of visitors to the
show lax our roads and parking pla-
ces just as the amount of power used
overloads our power supply.
The thanks of those immediately
Interested in the success of the show
are due to the campus employees who
cheerfully worked overtime to make
sure that their part, of the Institute
should he ready for the heavy strain
to he put on them.
During the show, n«eds for appar-
atus such as batteries and relays and
for materials such as wire, fuel,
structural materials, etc., is very
much greater than normal. Without
the generous loans and gifts by the
Houston business houses, the show
would be necessarily ranch more lim-
ited. This generosity is again grate-
fully acknowledged. As in former
shows, the U. S. Army co-operated
by furnishing an interesting exhibit,
this time of radio, telephone and
chemical warfare apparatus. The
Te*as National Guard also furnished
Interesting aircraft exhibits.
