HE decision of theFaculty to make theThanksgiving vaca-tion of one day only,and to add two days

-g4] - ~l !~itff[' to the Christmas va-cation, will, we feel,

-i = C commend itself tothe majority of stu-dents. The summer

vacation is long, and time is valuable, morevaluable than most appreciate, during ourworking term. The three days which haveusually been given to the Thanksgiving va-

cation make a break in the term at a timein which the majority of those whose homesare distant from Boston, are not so desirousof going home as at Christmas. Last yearthe giving of a week's vacation at Christmaswas tried with evident success. It proved tobe a popular institution with the students,and, we think, their work did not suffer inconsequence. We trust that this arrange-ment will be permanent.

ITHIN a short time"EA / the student body will

be asked to choosefrom a number of de-signs, one of whichshall be adopted asthe official Technol-ogy flag. Most col-leges and technicalschools have em-

blems of this sort, which are the adoptedbanners of those institutions. Up to thepresent time the Institute has possessed nosuch official emblem.

-BRIGHTON HIGH, I6 - M. I. T., 'O5, 12.

Brighton High School defeated the Fresh-men, I6---I2, at Rogers Park, Brighton,Saturday after:inoon. The Freshmen wereindividually much stronger than their oppo-nents, but lost through lack of team work.

For Brighton High School, McDevitt,Timmins and Moore excelled, while Newton,Bunting, Fuller and Taylor did well for theFreshmen. The summary:

In a closely contested game at the Dorches-ter Town Field, last Saturday, the Sopho-mores defeated the Dorchester A. A., Io-o.Dorchester played a strong game, but fum-bling at critical times prevented them fromscoring. In the first half Metcalf kicked apretty goal from the field. The Sophs also.scored in the second half on line plunges.The playing of Metcalf, Barry and White,for the winners, and of McDonald, Maguire,and Drake for Dorchester, was the feature ofthe game. The summary:

Hare and Hounds Run.

Thirty-five men turned out for the Hareand Hounds Run from Winchester last Satur-day. The regular trail bags having beenleft at the Gym. by accident, green bags wereobtained, and as they carried less than theusual amount of paper, three hares were sent;Pember, '02, Palmer, '04, and Jenkins, 'o04.Considering the strong wind, these men laidan excellent trail. The course was about sixand one-half miles, leading up from Win-chester into the Fells, about Spot Pond, andback with a swing to the north, going nearStoneham. The bunch covered the courseat a fast pace, overtaking the main trackabout the middle of the run, and setting sucha fast pace from there in that less than halfthe hounds were able to finish within thelimit. Riley, '05, was first hound in, withSweet,.'o4, Fraser, '05, Holcombe, '04, andMarcy, '05, following in the order named.Horton, '05, and Hammond, '02, ran well inthe last track. At the future runs the twopacks of hounds will be counted separatelyat the finish, so that the slow bunch will nothave to keep up with the fast bunch after thelatter catches up. The run next Saturdaywill be from Wellesley Hills. As runs fromthis place are popular there will probably bea large pack of hounds out.

THE LOUNGER would explain. The photogravurepresented with this week's issue of THE TECH is atrue copy, slightly magnified, of the Institute Gymlnasium. This must be understood unequivocally:those who have stated it to be a representation of aMontana barn in Springtime are mistaken, and suchas have believed the illustration to represent theoperating-room of the Spanish Inquisition are equallyin error; they have judged from appearances oiily,and their opinions are not to be regarded as authentic.The subject is neither more nor less than the TechGym.; and for the benefit of those of his readerswho have but lately become intimately acquainitedwith the Institute layout, THE LOUNGER will preseintbriefly a few unembellished facts concerhing the his-tory of this building.

The gymnasium was first located in Rogers cor-ridor. rhis was in I814; in the latter part of theyear. Upon the establishment of the Lowell Insti-tute Lectures, in i8i6, the gymnasium was moveddown into the Mining Laboratory. Disagreementsamong the' Faculty, however' caused its speedy re-moval to the Secretary's Office. Here it stayed forfive years. The habit, then acquired, among students,of frequenting the Secretary's Office on all days ofthe week has survived even until the present time.In 182 r a building was put up in Copley Square, forthis purpose: it was used as the gymnasium for six-teen years, and was then ornamented by a tower anda steeple, and now stands as Trinity Church. Ini837 the Bursar having just discovered that theWar of I8r2 was definitely terminated - was pre-vailed upon to put up the present edifice, which wassituated in the triangle of Copley Square. At theopening of the Civil War the historic building whoselikeness supplements this copy of THE TECH, Wasbodily moved to its present location, and was usedfor the quartering of troops and the confinement ofprisoners-of-war.

At that time the building had a flat roof, and thiswas much used'for open-air lunches. The virtues ofMunich beer beifig the it-ndisgtovered, the s;veteignof the lunch-room was driven to erecting a vaudevillestage at one end of the roof-garden, to retain herextensive patronage. And here it was, some twenty

years later, - indeed, on that memorable BlackFriday, -that the Faculty gave their first, and only,Theatrical Representation. This fell act was nippedin the bud. There was one person in the audienceWho clearly foresaw the ruin that would be the inevi-table result. Rising in the middle of the secondscene, he said: "Let it be remembered that theInstitute is a place for boys to wo'rk, not for men toplay! Ring down the curtain." rThe next morningthe roof was removed and placed on the WalkerBuilding, where it now is, and the Walker Buildingroof - which was built more on the Queen Anneplan- was placed upon the Gymnasium. It maybe seen to-day. This occurred just after the resump-tion of specie payments, in i879.

No history of the Gymnasium would be complete,however, without some sort of summiary of the mostimportant events that have taken place there. It iswell known that the first graduation exercises ofTechnology occurred in that building, when degreeswere conferred upon Thompson and the Bursar; butonly few are 'aware that in i835 the place was usedas the editorial rooms of THE TECH. Upon themoving of the building from Copley Squares however,the Editorial Board granted the petition of the Pres-ident and Secretary of the Institute, and moved intoits present quarters in Rogers.

During the sixties, the Gymnasium was used as theBursar's headquarters. Being well under the highbanking bf Exeter Street, and thus well shelteredfrom stray projectiles from hostile gunboats in theharbor, this spot was admirably adapted to be theoffice of the nervous functionary of tuitions. It iseven rumored that it was by intuition that Albertselected it. The private den of the Bursar was inthe shower-bath room, and legend preserves the factthat on his most hurried days this official used to sitwith ice-cold water from a circular sprinkler flowingover him, - the effect of this being to numb himand render him more deliberate and dignified ofmovement. The device was efficacious.

Upon the erection of the new gymnasium, due ini907, if THE TECH'S expected donation to the fundproves collectable, the present building will be turnedover to the uses of classroom work. THE LOUNGERunderstands, on unimpeachable authority, that it willprobably be devoted to the Freshmen as their drill-hall, though one end will be reserved for the LifeClass of Course IV. Rumors that it has been boughtby the Technology Club are false, as is the currentgossip that it is to be moved up between the Rogersand Walker Buildings. It is true that the authoritiesare contemplating its exhibition at the St. Louis Ex-position, but there is no reliability in the oftenrepeated idea that it is to be relocated as a wing ofthe Museum of Fine Arts. THE LOUNGER states thisupon authority. President Pritchett will franklyadmit that there is nothing in it.
