illustrated lecture on the creation of a manufacturing plant by mr walter b snow last fri day was most interesting and in structive mr snow is manager of the advance department of the b f sturtevant co boston and has had extensive experience in the construction of his company's plant as was shown by his lecture in the absence of dr drinker and prof merriman prof klein as sen ior professor introduced mr snow after a few introductory words mr snow first told of the condi tions to be satisfied in selecting a site he said there were five con siderations namely : railroad facili ties quality of land for foundations of buildings water supply lack of hindrances to a manufacturing con cern and a space for dumping waste the site was also to be near the old plant if possible so as to retain the old employes the plans for the buildings were first given to architects and engin eers and bids were gotten for two buildings when the company de cided to make their own plans and do the work themselves this they did with a saving of twenty per cent in the cost of the build ings they effected this great sav ing by buying all materials direct from the manufacturer and elimi nating architect's and engineer's fees the heads of the several de partments gave the requirements of their departments allowing for fu ture growth the business was divided into three general groups with a build ing for each group the buildings were designed for a progression in the system of manufacture lan tern slides were shown of different arrangements of the buildings with best adapted for the future growth of the plant the buildings were made of brick with foundations of concrete at first it was thought best not to employ steel in the construction because of its weakness when sub jected to

between the concert held this year and that held last year not only are the clubs much larger but the improvement in their work is very noticable the attendance though larger than last year was not as large as it should have been the audience was verp appreciative and the clubs were forced to give encores to every piece from start to finish it was highly enjoyed the mandolin club and glee club appeared upon the program three times and the enthusiastic applause they received each time was no more than they deserved the banjo club showed up par ticularly well in the two selections that they gave bason and thomas gave an instrumental duet that was greatly appreciated as was also the cavalier's song of bruce swope the alma mater given by the combined clubs was a fitting close to a mighty fine concert alpha tau omega banquet
