THE GRADUATES

THE TECHNOLOGY CLUB

The service of the club was suspended from August 7 to 13, while removing from 71 Newbury Street to 83 Newbury Street; but the new house was thrown open promptly on the morning of the 14th, and within a day or two, through the energy of the House Committee and the steward and his staff, everything was running smoothly. The new house is a great improvement in every way over the old, the increase in the size of the dining-room and the billiard-room being highly appreciated. The remodelling, decoration, and furnishing of the house were given entirely into the hands of those members of the House Committee who were also architects, Messrs. Walter H. Kilham and Harry W. Gardner; and the result reflects high credit upon their skill and taste. In addition to the pictures and other ornaments which the club had already received as gifts or loans from its members and from certain graduate classes, the new house contains many new paintings loaned by Messrs. Charles H. Davis, Charles L. Adams, Ross Turner, Desmond FitzGerald, and Webster Wells, and by Mrs. Charles C. G. Thornton. The oils have been hung in the "Common Room," the water-colors in the dining-room, and the etchings and carbons in the ladies' dining-room, the "Quiet Room," and the halls. The club is most fortunate in the possession of so many beautiful works of art.

During the summer were bound and placed upon the shelves as complete sets as it has been possible to obtain of the Institute's serial publications. This work has been done with a balance of the fund collected several years ago from members of the club for the purchase of the replica of Mr. French's bust of the late President Walker, which is so conspicuous an ornament of the common The collection is a valuable one, containing a complete file of the Annual Catalogues of the Institute, of the President's
