A MAN FOR THE AGES
A character in Irving Bacheller’s |
book, “A Man for the Ages,” gives
an illuminative and vivid portrayal
of the particular incident upon which
Secretary Stanton paid Abraham
Lincoln the high tribute on which
the title of the book is based. It was
on the day of the Great Emancipa-
tor’s passing, April 15, fifty-five
years ago. Mr. Bacheller’s char-
acter relates:
“Now we are at the foot of the
last hill. For a long time I had
seen it looming in the distance.
Those days it filled my heart with a
great fear, new, how beautiful, how
lonely it seems! Oh, but what a
vineyard on that very fruitful hill!
I speak low when I think of it. Harry
Needles and I were on our way to
Washington that fateful night of
April 14, 1865. We reached there
at an early hour in the morning. We
made our way through the crowded
streets to the little house opposite
Ford’s theater. An officer who
knew me cleared the way for us at
the door. Reporters, statesmen, cit-
izens and their families were massed
in the street waiting with tear-
stained faces for the end. Some of
them were sobbing as we passed.

~ ENGINEERS WILL
LEAVE MONDAY
| Junior and Senior Students Will Make
an Inspection Trip in South Texas
This Week.
At 3:01 a. m. Monday, April 26, a |
party of Ldn engineering stu- |
dents leave for Houston. Professor
Fermier is taking the junior and sen-
ior students in the mechanical engi-
neering course on a four day’s trip
of inspection.
The party leaving Monday morning
is to be joined at Houston by several
other students who have been away
on furlough during the past few
days.
This trip is taken as a part of the
well established plans of the Depart-
ment to have the students see in prac-
tical operation the equipment about
which they have been studying in the
class room, and testing in the labor-
atory.
Houston, Galveston, and neighbor-
ing points contain much that is of
interest to mechanical engineers, and
it is planned to visit as many as pos-
sible of the representative plants in
this district.
The first stop will be at Houston,
where power plants, factories, and
foundries are to be visited. A boat
trip on the ship channel is planned to
see this great artery of commerce and
the plants served directly by it
Oil refineries and oil fields are in-
cluded in the itinerary, as are also the |
wharves, and other Galveston activ- |
ities. The Freeport Sulphur Com-
| pany, and the Sugarland industries
are to be visited if time permits.
Assistance in the planning of the
