the Institute has led the way in tech.
nical education and with such success
that its growth has forced 1t to find a
new location. These buildings form
an entirely new and complete educa-
tional plant and from foundations to
roof are adapted to their special uses.
The cost has been seven million
dollars. which President Maclaurin
has secured. at the same time attend
ing to his administrative duties and
in no wise permitting the educational
standards to be lowered. Tech now
accommodates two thousand stu
dents and Its alumni are at the head
of the great engineering enterprises
of the country.
The masque was only one of Sc
ries Of events that marked the semi
centennial of Technology and the
dedication of its new buildings.

pressive. The Court of Honor, where
the exercises and the Masque were
held is $50 feet square and the sinai.
Ter ones, 165 feet square. The Ii
brary is crowned by dome similar
to that OF the Pantheon in Rome
which rises 1870 feet above the court
or nearly zoe above the river.
The costs of land. draining and
grading have been about one million
dollars; the buildings as they stand
about four millions; and the power
and it's distribution about million
more. Then there are underway two
other buildings, the Walker Memo
rial and student domitories, so that
the whole cost of the buildings now
completed and those whose founda-
tons have been laid is not far from
seven million dollars. Besides these
structures there win presently be
erected the Pratt Memorial School OF
Naval Architecture Technology has
long had the reputation OF affordine
the best courses in naval architec-
ture, in fact by Act of Congress all
naval constructors graduated at An
napolis go to Tech for finishing
studies, and much of the work of the
Chinese students is In the specially
Of ship building. Mr.. Pratt was so
much impressed with the value Of
this work that he willed a sum OF
three-quarters OF million for
a. - foI 10 y - fof h.
er and brother.
Some of the quantities employed In
these vast structures will be Of popu-
lar interest. For the foundations
$4,000 piles were driven. In the
structural work $4,000 yards Of con-
crete and masonry were used, for
backing and inner court walls about
FIVE million bricks, for the facades
465 carloads OF stone and 5000 tons
OF reinforcing steel.
In the great principle of teaching
young men by making them do
things, lies the foundation of the
success of the Boston Tech. When
the young men who have taken the
courses find that IL they are diligent
and have any business ability good
situations await them ali. they do not
fail to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunities. That more men are finding
out the benefits of technical edu-
cation is evidenced by the yearly reg
istration, which fifty years ago
stood at ".
In 1876 the number of students
had risen to 255 and In successive
decennial years 1t reads, se. 500; 90.
1887; 'o6, 1906 and 1915. 1900. Only
one state is not represented this
year, while the foreign countries with
students at Tech number thirty.
