BOSTON, Aug. 3. Tho sum of S100.000
out of UT5.000 required has been sub
scribed by about 1,200 alumni nud former
students uf tho Massachusetts Institute of
Technology for a memorial building to tho
lato General Francis A. Walker, for fifteen
years president of the Institute. The last
15,000 was raised at a S-mlnutc meeting of
this year's graduating class. The objects o)
the new building, which Is practically as
sured by this contribution of the alumni,
I arc particularly appropriate In view of
General Walker's vigorous and alert per
fonallty. On tho otiu hand It Is meant tc
provide n social center for tho Institute and
Its 1,300 students scattered hero and every
whero In the midst of a crowded city; and.
on tho other, by virtue of certain unique
appointments which It Is to contain. It U
Intended to bo n headquarters for a systc
matte process of physical training which,
It Is expected, will bo In many wnys su
perior to nnythlng as yet attempted on st
largo a scale.
The new building the Walker Memorial,
ns It will bo called has n largo part of Its
general Interest, of course, from tho man
whom It Is to commomornle. As much a?
any Iloslonlan of recent ycors General
Walker belongs to the whole country. Al
though he will probably bo best remem
bered for his success as tho administrator
of an Important educational Institution, ho
won a national reputation for his work as
head of the Indian bureau and ns director
of tho ninth nnd tenth censuses, u local
reputation for bis services in connection
with the art and park commissions, tho
Publlo library and dozens of other public
Interests In his nutlvo city of Boston; and
genuinely International repute by his eco

Whero the narrow sand spit, called Great
Point, bends away to tho weBt from Ita
trond northward from Nantucket, Admiral
Hlgglnson, In command of tho North At
lantic squadron, choso tho spot for n prac
tice camp. Half n mllo below the Great
Point light the strip of sand narrows to
less than a hundred yards lu width nnd
there, a year or bo ago, tho Inrolltng surf
from tho occun broko across tho spit and
left tho level space, which has recently
been occupied for n week by tho tents and
guns of Cnmp Hlgglnson. It is a dreary
place, tho long sweep of bare sand bolng
broken only by tho bench grass thnt rises
In staggering bunches nlong tho higher
ground in tho center of tho strip and by
the occasional duck hunter's shuck that
shares with tho lifoHnving station nnd the
lighthouse tho tenancy of Great Point, But
If it Is dreary of aspect, It has tho merit ns
a camp location of being free from the dls
tractlouc of town possibilities. Nothing wbb
there to interest the. men In camp but their
work and such nmusoracnts ua their own
Ingenuity could devise.
Tho camp wns mado In furtheranco of tho
plans of the General Board of tho Navy, of
which Admiral Dewey Is at tho head. It Is
well recognized nmong training officers that
tho training which both otllcers nnd men
get from such work will bo of the greatest
vnluo In case of wnr with a strong naval
power The plans of tho General Board
contemplate tho study of tho waters of tho
Inner lino of defcuso nil along tho Atlantic
coast. Warships of Buch great draft ne
those of Admiral Hlgglnson's squndron
havo never beforo been maneuvered nbout
tho Massachusetts shoals. Ablo naval au
thorities estimate thnt the advantago which
will result from th knowlcdgo thus gained
will bo worth 30 per cent of tho enemy's
force In battleships In case of war with a
power having a strong navy.
Unit Wrntlirr Conilltloni,
Nantucket weather was responsible for
the failure of a part of thu plan for work
nt Cnmp Hlgglnson, but the results
achieved gnvo great satisfaction to tho ad
miral nnd his officers. It was intended to
simulate thu establishment of an advanced
bnse. Men and stores were landed nnd guns
were mounted for land defense. Mine fields
wore to havo been planted nud then thero
wns to have been practlco nt countermin
ing and clearing the field by other means
which have never been tried by our service.
When tho cnmp wjis located It wns not
known that the great peculiarity of Nan
tucket Is that from whichever direction the
wind comes It hrlngs heavy fog with It. If
by chance there happens to bo n little spell
of clear weather It Is almost ccrtatn to bo
too rough to undertake practice with such
expensive and dangerous Instruments as
mines. And an fog or rough weather pre
vailed during nearly the entire stay of the
squadron at Carap Hlgglnson, tho drill
with mines wns almost completely pro
vented. The other work was put through,
however, with a snap and energy that wa
of tho highest vnluo.
Two G-lnch rifles were landed. One be
longed to tho Kcnrsargc and the other hail
been sent from Washington, along with two
six and two thrce-pounder guns, two tor
pedo tubes from the Newport station and
n lot of mines, Tho big gun from Wash
ington was put on bonrd the Alabama for
transportation. Thero Is great rivalry be
twoen tho men and otllcers of the Kearsarge
and the Alabama, Thoso of each ship
think their own big lighting machine the
best that ever mounted a gun. As n result
there Is a race of tho hottest sort whenever
they meet. The squadron anchored oft

Promotion of Profit Sharing and the So
rltty of Nav.il Architects and Marine Kn
glnoers. He was connected with the to
great expositions held In this country, act
ing as chief of the bureau of an arris at the
Centennial and n chairman of the Mansa
ehusetis board of managers at the World's
Fair at Chicago. He was an officer of the
French legion of Honor and was one of tho
flvo rtclplenta of the degree of doctor of
laws at tho tercentenary of the University
of Dublin an honor which was later dupli
cated by the University of Edinburgh. In
the civil war ho enlisted as a private and
received his discharge as a brigadier gen- i
eral. He served on the staffs of Warren,
Couch and Hancock, was wounded at Chan
rellorsvllle, was captured, escaped, swam
the Appomattox river, nnd was retaken nnd '
confined for six weeks In Llbby prlnon. His,
name was mentioned for gallantry In ten j
different engagements. As an author and
a blbllgropby of his writings and addresses i
published by the American Statistical as
sociation covers nearly sixteen pages ha
wrote what Is often declared to be tho best
treatise ever isscud on tho Indian ques
tion; n volume entitled "Money," which Is
an accepted text-book In many foreign uni
versities; three text-hooks on political
ceonomy, the largest of which Is said to ba
tho most widely used of all text-books on
this subject; ami an essay "Wages nnd tho
Wage Fund" which revised nnd accepted
doctrine In the snmo science. In addition
ho prepared the statistical atlas of the
United States, which one authority has
called "a rcvolatlon of tho capacity of
graphic representation."

The new memorial building, however,
though It will stand as a monument to all
these varied activities, naturally commem
oratca particularly the service of Gen
eral Walker as president of the Instltuto,
n position to which ho was elected In
1SS1 and which ho held till his death, In
ISO". In a very real way it will bo tho
expression of tho respect nnd nffcctlon of
n great body of younger men to whom ho
stood, at ono time or another. In tho dual
relation of teacher and leader. Ho had
been designated for the position, by n
happy provision, by William n.irton
llogcrs, the Institute's founder and first
president. In starting what was then a
new departuro In the history of educa
tion, President Hogors hnri Indeed founded
a school of applied sclenco which was to
become In less than forty years the largest
In this country nnd ono of the most Im
portant In the world; but when General
Walker first camo to it he found tho In
etltuto In a period of great discourage
ment. Ills great tnlcnt for organization,
already tested by his management of tho
ninth nnd tenth censuses before which,
It will bo remombered, tho country had
had no scientifically trustworthy statistics
on any adequate scale was never more
needed. The number of students had de
creased within six years nearly one-half
RtrADV.TCV
noon nnd as soon as the anchors were
down tho boats were called awny for tho
landing. The 211 marines who were to oc
cupy tho camp were under tho command of
regulation gun wheels, but tho contractor
wns not able to deliver thom In time nnd
It had to get along without them, de
pending on pure muscle to pull the gun
Into place.
The tenta of tho marines woro pitched
on the Hat, open space whero the storm
hnd knocked down tho rldgc that runs
nlong tho center of the point. Just to
tho southward of them the big guns were
posted, on tho edgo of tho rldgo facing
tha open sea. The rldgo there Is about
twonty-flvo feet high, breaking sharply
toward tho outsldo bench and rising grad
ually from tho Inside. To tho north of
tho cnmp tho slx-pounders wore set up
nnd the llttlo three-pounders were mounted
south of tho flvo-lnch rifles. It was an
easy matter comparatively to mount the
smaller guns and tho marines had nothing
unusual to do in making their camp. Tho
great race was with the big guns.
Two methods of mounting were em
ployed. Alabama used n double, platform
of oak. Tho lower platform wnn built of
solid planking, six or eight inches in
thickness, nnd wns sunk In tho sand to a
depth of threo foot or more. Through
this ran n number of long bolts nti inch
and a half In diameter. Sand wns tamped
solidly In on top of this platform for nbout
threo feet, and then tho tipper platform,
also of heavy planking, was set over tho
bolts. Tho tlo piece, ft disk of steel, that
fitted tho bottom of the gun pedestal, enmo
next, nnd on that the pedestal was set
up, tho long bolts from the lower plat
form passing through tho tie pleco and the
pedestal and being set up as tight as pos
sible. Mountlim fionx on Shore.
Kearsarge's platform wns also sunk
nbout threo feet In the sand. It was made
of timbers seventeen Inches square. First
thcro was a flooring of planks, on which
rested tho tlo pleco. Above tho tlo pleco
wcro threo of tho huge timbers. The
bolts from tho tie piece ran through thoso
Captain C. O. Long, who wns brevottcd
major for his gallantry In the Chinese cam
paign of Inst summer. Half tho blue Jack
ets of the squadron nud nearly nil the offi
cers of tho three ships were charged with
landing nnd mounting the guns. Tho mon
from the Massachusetts took care of tho six
nnd threa-pounders, so that tho Kearsarge
nnd Alabama men had nothing to distract
PITCHING
and the faculty consisted of thlrty-nlno
teachers, whllo tho whole Institution was
housed In ono building During the term
of his administration the roll of students
increased from 302 to more than a thousand
and the number of teachers from thlrty
nlno to 103, while three new buildings were
added to the permanent plant. This
growth, It Is true, coincided with a great
growth of population and prosperity In
tho country at large, but It Is safe to say
that no man could have been found better
adapted than General Walker to take ad
vantage of these conditions. But "his title
to grAtltude," said Senator Hoar at tho
time of General Walker's death, "is that
In his time the Institution grew toward the
zenith as well as the horizon; it Is that,
while the number of students grew, the ef
ficiency and fitness for their life's work,
to which their diplomas certified, grew in
llko proportion; It is that the personal
character of tho president exerted an
ennobling and enlarging Influence on the
character and Intellect of tho pupil."
Demoted to I'liyKlenl Culture.
Tho new memorial building Is to be an
adequate tribute, both In appearance nnd.
purpose, to tho man It honors. It win
be devoted In a largo part, as has been
tsld, to physical culture. In the arrange
ments for this end, however, the question
of health will outweigh the mere cultiva
tion of muscle. The gymnasium proper
will be rnther a laboratory devoted tt
practical Instruction In useful physical de
velopment thnn n gymnasium in tho or
dinary sense of the word its object being
to produce henlthy and soundly developed
men and not so much to break records or
send out winning athletic teams, although
tho building will naturally become thi
center of athletic as of other Institute in
terests. A department of physical culturo
will be added to the regular Instruction of
tho Institute, to bo begun ns soon as tho
new building Is ready for occupancy. The
gcncrnl schemes of this new department
has been outlined by President Prltchctt
In n recent address. "The department of
physical culture," he said, "shall have for
Its object, not to the development of ath
letics In the acute form, but tho Instruc
tion of tho entire student body In the caro
of health. It shall Inform them ob to
proper rules of exercise. It shall make n
physical Inspection of each student who
enters and shall prescribe for him In tho
light of such Inspection the exercise which
is suitable for his needs. At the head of
this department shall be a man able to
advise students, not only concerning their
games and sports, but also concerning their
diet nnd exerclso nnd the general care of
their bodies. In other words, It will do
for the physical side of students what the
other departments do for tho Intellectual
side." Thcro Is no building In tho world
with functions of Just this kind.
.Social Foiittirc.
Its social sldo will perhaps be no less
Important. The Institute, situated as It Is

them from their task with the big rifles.
And that was a plenty for them.
The Iturc for Cnmp.
The Alabama's gun, not being In position
on the ship, wns moro easily loaded Into
ths sailing launch that was to transport
It to the beach than that from tho flag
ship, which had to bo taken from Its po
sition in tho battery. Alabama had an
other ndvantage which finally won It tho
race. It had prepared a great skid, after
tho fashion of launching ways in use at
n shipyard, to assist In getting the gun
from tho bench to Its position In the bat
tery. Kcarsnrgo hod ordered a pair of
timbers nnd tho pedestal, which rested
upon them. Outside the throo lower tim
bers woro threo others of tho snmo slzo,
but longer, which helped to anchor the
whole plntform. Across tho ends of these
flvo timbers nnd on top of them ran two
more, which extended Into tho snnd nnd
served to steady the mount. Tho tlo
piece being nt tho bottom of tho whole
platform and bolted through tho timbers
to tho pedestal, served to distribute tho
strain from tho recoil of tho gun, after
firing, evenly throughout tho whole struc
ture. For a temporary mounting such
ns this Kearsargo's platform had an ap
parent advantage In stability. The de
sign of the Alabama mount contemplated
filling the space between tho lower nnd
upper platforms with concrete, n manifest
Impossibility In tho sand of Great Polut,
whero tho stay was to bo only a week.
Alabama's platforms were taken ashore
nil bolted together nnd rendy to set up.
Kcnrsarge's were In tho timbers, to bo
set up nt tho battery. The dlfforenco In
ease In gottlng them up the Incline to the
position of tho guns was In favor of Ala
bama. At the beach lino two pairs of huge
shears wero set up, ono for Kearsarge
and ono for Alabama. Each was mado
of two booms carried aboard ship for
Just such purposes. On the outside beach,
across tho ridge whoro tho guns were to
be mounted, two sand anchors wore
burled. Heavy tackle was rigged to tho
sand anchors nnd the shears and tho
work of hoisting the guns out of the
boats that had hrought them as'noro was
begun. Each gun was lifted up nnd
dropped into on Improvised cradle resting
on the bench. Alabamn ran her cradle up
on tho skid sho had brought, nnd rolled It
up to Its position with comparative ease.
Kearsarge, having no skid, was compelled
to Improvise one out of the biggest timbers
CAMP,
In the midst of n largo city, has had neither
dormitories nor "commons,'' although a
dormitory for students is now about to be
erected ns n private enterprise, and tho
Technology club, which Is the only place
where students can mingle except for pur
poses of study, Is open only to students of
sotno years' standing not to tho under
graduates as a whole. The life of the In
stitute, therefore, has lacked much of tho
attraction of college life, nnd the students
have had little opportunity, oxcept by
groups, for tho Intimate associations so
generally connected with undergraduate fx
tstence. Quite apart from its usefulness
tn the directions Just Indicated, the Walker
memorial is Intended to meet this want,
and In meeting It suggests comparison
with the Houston club of the University of
Pennsylvania, recently erected with prac
tically tho same object, that Is, "to draw
together students, officers and alumni of
all departments of the university In a
wholesome social llfo and to provide for
them suitable amusements and recreation."
The Wnlkcr memorial will be, In short, a
great club of which every "Tech" student
Is ex-offlclo a member nnd In which every
student will havo dally opportunity to
meet and know his companions.
Tho building Itself has been designed by
the Institute department of architecture.
It will stand In Trinity Placo, a few steps
from tho Boston musoum of fine arts and
tn the center of what might now well bo
called the Technology dlstrtct of Boston
that Is, the district In tho Immediate
neighborhood of Copley square. It will
cover something over 10.000 square feet
of land nnd will Include t. basement with
a largo swimming tank, u great memorial
room with n serving room adjoining and n
library nnd other rooms for social pur
poses, Tho gymnasium will occupy nearly
tho entlro fourth floor nnd there will also
be n smaller gymnasium for systematic
work for classes of fifty men, probably In
connection with tho regular first-year work
of the Institute and enough lockers to ac
commodate every undergraduate. It Is ex
pected that tho larRor gymnasium will bo
used for alumni dinners nnd n kitchen and
serving room arc accordingly planned In
connection with It. in the top of the build
ing will be the hand ball court nud the
fencing and boxing room. Altogether, nflcr
looking over the architect's plans, ono feels
that here Is a building which General
Wnlkcr himself would have liked to see
a building, therefore, which everyone must
feel Is the best possible memorial of his
generous nnd devoted life.

It wob Blow work all around and very
hard. The afternoon wore nway ond tho
sallormen wcro still hard at It. Tho ma
rines hnd their tents up nnd the place
began to look llko n camp. Stores were
coming ashore rapidly nud bluejackets
nnd marines together wero getting them
out of the boats nnd up on the beach.
When It grow- dark signal was made to
turn their searchlights on tho camp and
nttcr n little rest for supper all hands
fell to again.
Without other rest than that obtained
when meals wcro served tho whole force
kept nt It all night. Alabamn got Its gun
into position nnd rendy to fire soon after
10 o'clock nnd Kearsarge followed half
an hour Inter. Then there was the maga
zlno to flnlBh nnd all tho protective work
about tho batteries. Four thousand bags
were filled with sand and placed about
tho guns nnd over the magazine, which
was constructed of heavy plankings and
well covered with sand on the Inside
bench In rear of tho big guns. Trenches
were opened clear across tho strip from
beach to beach on each Bldo of tho camp
and pitfalls were dug at various places,
Both sides wero also protected by rows
of sharp Btakes and wires wero stretched
outside these. The signal service wlro
leading from tho lighthouse to tha town
was tapped and connections made by tele
phono with Nantucket. It was not until
10 o'clock In the morning that the work
wns finished and the tired Jackles went
back to their Bhlps. All the guns hnd
been fired mid It was proved that the
mountings wero secure.
Then came several days of anticipation
of nttack on tho part of tho marines in
camp. They took great precaution to
keep out spies, but In spite of them Lieu
tenant Clark of the Alabama got past
their sentries In the thick fog ono night
nnd mado himself known to them by fir
ing rocketB from Inside their lines, Lieu
tenant George of the Kearsarge, who also
tried It, was caught. He made a hard
sneak along the beach, but looked up Just
as ho thought he had won, to find himself
confronted by a sentry with a rifle aimed
nt his head. j
Ilrenktnic Cnmp,
Days of fog and rough weather followed
one another, when llttlo or no work was
possible, until tho tlmo came for breaking
camp. Then Kearsarge got her revenge on
Alabama. When tho big guns were dls
mounted It was found that the tamping of
sand In Alabama's raountlug had not
stood tho strain well and tho great bolts
were twisted and bent, so that It was did!
cult to take the platforms apart. Kear
earge got her gun and all the gear down to
tho bench and most of the gear stowed In
boats ready to go back to tho ship before
Alabama got her platform down, It was
clear that tho form of mounting used by
Kearsarge was more satisfactory for such
work than that used by Alabama.
It was delightful to seo tho sallormen at
work. They went nt It as If It were the
most fun they ever had. Everything was
dono on the Jump. If a shovel was needed
half a dozen were nfter It nt a run.
Wherever they went the pace wns the best
they could make. It was as If each roan's
life deponded on his speed. The water was
rough at embarking time and tho men had
to wado to their necks, but they enjoyed It
hugely. If tho fate of the nation had been
at stoke. Instead of a mere drill, they could
not havo showed greater enthusiasm or en
ergy. Admiral Hlgglnson and his officers
were enthusiastic over the success of tho
experiment. OSCAH KING DAVIS.
