When I am dead and elsewhere dwell,

Nor -will I know before that day.
I'll take the job assigned to mo
Among the mob in that hot sea.
But thin T hnpn 'I'm nn Encinror.!
I'll throw in dope and uso a Bpear
To heat the juice;
When she gets mean, I'll turn her loose
And let her pop, and puff, and swell,
With one great shock, I'll blow up

importance of the Annual Engineer's

what it means to you, to tho engineers
as a whole, and even to tho University
itself, to have (Blon J. Arnold preside

jEBSftkera.at this, banquet. Then take
out your old pocket worn dollar and
look at It, and if it does not shrink
to insignificant proportions, at the
very thought, that, for this ono piece
of silver you are ablo to purchase a
magnificent meal, and also bej no-
corded the right to hear eomo of tho ,
greatest engineers In tho United
States, then I say to you, "Fold up
your tent, like the Arab, and Silently
sneak away, for you are not worthy
to be called an r
ENGINEER."
