OMAHA LAD GETS
DIPLOMA AT TECH
Basil Lanphier Graduates at the
Massachusetts, School Of
Technology.
BIG COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

Basil Lanphier of Omaha was one
of 3l7 who received the degree Of
bachelor of science at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology this
year. ~
The title of his graduation thesis
was "The Errors of Measurement
With Portable Volunteers and Am
meters"
At the graduating exercises de-
grees were given to $50 students, the
largest number the institute has grad
uated in a single year. Three of the
younger men received the degree OF
doctor Of philosophy; two, doctor Of
engineering; thirty-eight master OF
science, and 3l7 bachelor of science.
The graduating exercises were only
a part of the great celebration which
the institute has been holding, in
GLIDING the dedication of the new
buildings.
The dedication Of the Walker me.
mortal was the opening ceremony.
This building, named for the second
president of the institute, General
Francis A. Walker, is the club house
for all students, and together with
the dormitories, in course of erection,
will place the Boston Tech" on an
equality with academic institutions in
point of social intercourse of the stu
dents.
Water Festival.
Monday afternoon was devoted to a
water festival in which hundreds OF
boats of all descriptions participated.
Aeroplanes, yachts, hydroplanes, mo-
tor boats, water sleds and submersible
craft were all represented, with num-
erous races and extraordinary de-
velopment of power on the part OF
the motor craft.
Following the golden jubilee smok-
err in which 5000 alumni took part,
the whole company of faculty, alumni,
seniors, undergraduates and citizens
filled the great square i'll front OF
the Rogers building for a formal
goodbye, with songs and cheers to
the building, which for fifty years
had been the center of Techs" edu-
cational activities.
On Tuesday morning the alumni
adjourned to Nantasket, an ocean re-
sort near Boston, where the ingenuity
of the brightest scientific minds in
the country was devoted for a few
hours to the amusing side of life. The
stunts" Of the Tech" classes are
famous throughout the country and
the. yish to sec these brought many
- the former students back to Bos-
ton FOR the celebration. Tuesday eve
ming was devoted to the masque and
pageant, the most remarkable pre-
sentation of its kind that the east has
ever seen. The ightings have not
been exceeded in any demonstration
in the country, while the 1000 STU
dents furnished dramatis personae
that was striking in its magnitude
and mass effects.
Wednesday morning was devoted
to the graduation exercises, which at
Technology are always simple and
always include the presentation of
real engineering work in the thesis
of the students that are read. In the
afternoon, al 2:30, the academic pro-
cession was formed, and in the court
of honor OF the new buildings, Presi-
dent Maclaurin and his fellow speak

ers dedicated the institution to the
cause of education. The orator Of the
occasion was Henry Cabot Lodge,
senior, Senator from Massachusetts,,
a man with intimate knowledge of
the problems of education and al
ways an enthusiastic supporter of the
institute and its methods. In the
evening, for the final event, there was
the banquet of the Alumni association,
with $500 at the table and as many
more in the balconies, who came later
to hear the speaking. This was a
telephone banquet and when President
Maclaurin and the notable men who
we're with him, Edison, Bell, Vail,
Carly, Pupin and others, spoke, they
spoke into telephones and to an audi
ence of thousands which included
nearly every Tech" man in the coun-
try, many governors, mayors and local
dignitaries, each with his individual
receiver and seated at banquet tables
in thirty-hve important cities spread
over the country.
This is simply the skeleton Of a
well-filled week of celebration, with
hundreds of other events. A great
museum with thousands of exhibits
gathered by Tech" men and show
ing the relation of applied science to
civilization was constantly on view.
The cadets of the institute, (for this is
school which with its hundreds Of
men skilled in military practice is
always prepared), performed their
evolutions and formed their dress
parade in the great court. The same
young men in uniform served for
guides to the visitors. The women
graduates of the institute had their
own celebration, their own dinners,
their own reunions and their own

exhibit in the museum, joining with
the alumni and students on the
greater occasions. There were class
dinners and reunions on every hand.
There were dinners by departments,
where electricians and chemists
snapped" experiences with others in
their own profession, with all the
while the splendid background Of
delegates formally representing the
most important educational institu-
tons of this and other countries. And
in the midst of it all the solid bust
ness men of Boston had an opportu-
nifty to meet the visiting dignitaries
at a number of receptions at the new
technology.

SLIPPING AND TRIPPING

In some of the states "antsppng clauses" are being amboded in labor laws and building codes That the result of scientific inquiries made by safety engineers into the Of accidents in workshops and public building
 It was found in the course of an investigation cover ing S4 corporation plants that 20 per the alies caused simply by slippg tripping which could easily have been prevented by making footing secure In office building there an average of four accidents week people nsng elevator They were all hurt while getting off When the super intendent induced install a strip of "anti-slip' material foot and half wide all the floor landings next to the elevator the accidents stopped entirely
 The same results have been obtained by giving at tenon to this in factories. in theaers in church. and in all sorts of places where the public is 1angered by insecure footing. Rubber strips, rough metal other aEti-slip material is used starways and landsings instead of smooth metal concrete marble Better fooholds are provided for workmen in stead of steel plates slippery Safer scafod ing is used in building operations. Sidewalks kept clear of obstrucons, anything making them slippery -'rh snow, ice. water. mud oil. is promptly r moved.
 The next development along this line will be the ap- Flication of anttrp and antsp principles private louses where neglect of such elementary precautions is continually resulting in falls and injuries.
