T , US & 13ro. Co.,Richmond, Va.Gentlemen:

This morning I had a smoking ad-venture worth recording.

Next to me in the smoking car agentleman was puffing his pipe con-tentedly. I was not smoking at themoment, and the aroma of his tobaccointrigued me exceedingly. For twelveyears I had smoked Edgeworth with-out being tempted by any other brand,but the fragrance emanating from thepipe of the gentleman beside me wasso agreeable that I could not resistthe temptation to speak of it.

"That is wonderfully fragrant to-bacco you have there," I remarked."Would you mind telling me the nameof it?"

"It is Edgeworth," he answered.We then congratulated each other

upon our mutual good taste, and Idecided that I would continue to usehis brand and mine.

Sincerely yours,S. E.

THE LAST WORD

NOTHING could be mnore ludicrous than a few Juniors giv-ing a class of graduating Seniors a wealth of parting ad-

vice; nothing more ironic than sympathizing with them overa last departure from the Courts of M. I. T. These Seniorsknow better than anyone else what is good for them, on theeve of their completion of all the study an engineer will everneed. And they vainly try to tell themselves that not a tearwill be shed over leaving forever the undergraduate body ofsuch a laborious institution.

Hence we are closely confined in this parting message to afew words of sincere and friendly hope for the future. Wecan't tell the Cap and Gowns that they will have a lot to learn,for they wouldn't believe it. But we wish with them that itmay all turn out for the best--that these air castles will atleast partially be realized. We can remind them that howevermuch they have groaned and complained at the constant over-load the Faculty persists in administering, they have neverfailed to boast of it once outside Technology walls; an over-load that has helped to develop a reputation for thoroughnesswhich gives them a double chance for success.

The Institute nmay be justly pleased with this latest product,in its own methodical wray, as are the three remaining classeswho will soon be in their place. Few among the scores ofactivity leaders have not unconsciously been the idols of theiryounger followers. They have made Technology a finer placeto work fully as much by their example as by the results of in-tended effort. We mean this in no facetious light; it is far tootrue a fact to be joked about and tossed aside. Men have beenmade by the examples of their seniors; men who have becomethe strength of the world. Let there be strength from the idolsof '28 !

The campus will seem strange this coming Fall with half athousand Seniors gone. No doubt the coming upper class willdo their utmost to fill the void, as each has nobly done in theyears past, but it can't be accomplished in every respect. It isin vain though to wish them back again, for they have left toconquer the world. We can but wish them luck in that en-deavor.

The Managing Board of THE TECH, Volume XLVIII, regretsto announce the resignation of Gregory Smith '30 as Adver-tising Manager.

The Baccalaureate Service this yearwas held in Trinity Church on Sundayat 3 o'clock, and the parade whichmarched down the center aisle to oc-cupy the front section of the churchcomprised nearly 200 Seniors dressedin their full cap and gown regalia. Thesermon was preached by the ReverendHenry K. Sherrill, rector of TrinityChurch.

As one of the major events of theweek, the Senior Class Day exerciseswere held yesterday in Nra!ker Me-morial at 10 o'clock. The Senior Classendowment gift, which was presentedby Ralph T. Jope to President Strat-ton, greatly exceeded last year's fundin size, and will amount to $75,000 atthe end of 25 years if there are nolapses. The Class History, consistingof a brief resume of '28's activitiesduring their four years at Technologywas given by James Donovan. Thiswas followed by Hunter Rouse '29 andhis pal Reggie who in a short act ex-posed some noteworthy dirt among theclass. In keeping with custom the ad-dress of the day was by Professor Rob-ert E. Rogers, who with his reputedhumor was the cause of a continuousoutburst of laughter while he occupiedthe floor.
