In 1899 Professor Phillips came to the Institute as a professor of civil engineering, and has been the head of the department since that time. It is interesting to note in looking back through the old copies of the “Ful- crum," the student magazine of that time, that even then he was held in much esteem by the students under him. Even in those days the young journalist noted in his article those attributes which the latest class found so pleasing in him. Union College was likewise proud of Professor Phillips, and awarded him his A.M. in 1890, and his PhD. in 1894. He was also an honorary member of Tau Beta Pi, a charter member of the Armour chapter of Chi Epsilon, and honorary member of Triangle fraternity. During the years 1901 to 1907 he wrote five text— books on surveying, highway con- struction, masonry construction, irri- gation, and roof trusses. Professor Phillips was very fond of the outdoor life, maintaining a summer home within walking dis» tance of the summer camp of the freshman civils on Trout Lake. In the earlier years he was active in running the camp, but lately con- tented himself with being a neighbor, and proving to be the expert fisher- man of the region. Professor Phillips is mourned by his wife and two daughters, as well as the host of friends that he made throughout the profession. Those who knew him will regret the passing of a kind friend and a sage counselor; an earnest instructor and a likable man. HIRE PROTECTS MEET A meeting of Fire Protects was held Friday, April 1'7, at 10:30 in Science Hall to elect honorary mem— bers to the Fire Protection Engin— eering Society. Professor Finnegan explained the necessity for eligible men, and made a motion to elect Richard E. Vernon and Harry K. Rogers of the West- ern Actuarial Bureau of Fire Pre- vention to life membership in the Society. The motion was seconded and carried. maudlin and sings “My Wild Irish Rose” in such plaintive strains that the two Irishman burst into tears.

By this time Ole will have plucked up enough courage to render, in that dashing, daring, romantic manner so characteristic of every son of Swe- den: “Aye bane Swede from Man— ee-sota;”——thc only song he knows. Fortunately, for 'Ole’s vanity, no— body is very critical by now; so he gets a good applause. Another popular feature on the program, is the effort of the camp parodist. Most likely he has been mulling his parodies over in his head for the past three weeks, and has got some real good ones composed. Psychologists might rave about his misplaced talent, but the lumber— jack—poet prefers the genuine ad- miration of his mates to fickle fame Telephone Long Lines Dept. To Be Visited Some of the mysteries of the coun- try’s largest communication concern will be unfolded to the senior electri- cal engineers when they visit the can Telegraph and Telephone Com- pany, on the next regular inspection trip. The trip will be taken next Tuesday, April 21. The Electricals will assemble as usual at 1:30 P. M. in the men’s club room of the Franklin building at 315 point the tour will be under the su- pervision of W. C. Hall, college em- ployment representative. The program will open with three talks on telephone equipment. Brief expository lectures on “Planning long distance circuits;” “Providing outside xplants for long distance circuits;” , and “Engineering central office equip- ment" will be given. The party will then sojourn to in~ spect the latest developments and im~ provements in telephone equipment. The A. T. and T. Telephone room, testing room, repeater room, broad— casting control room and telophotog- raphy room will be viewed. A college degree is worth $72,000, according to Dean Everett Lord, of Boston University. 'J.

Besides, his rhymes would need no small amount of mod- ification before they could be ac- cepted “outside," for some of them would put even a midnight bur- lesque to shame. He will make such a hit with the boys that no one will care to follow him with any un~ garnished songs of the towns; so after a few calls of “let’s have that one again” the action slows up and tired men crawl up into their bunks for the night. Now there starts another concert. This time there is no applause to spur the performers to still greater efforts.
