L. HUTSON, ’95, writes the Bat-
. talion that the Worthington
Pump Company, of Brooklyn, with
which he is working, has constantly on

that there should be fine openings out
there for graduates of both the Agri-
cutural and Mechanical departments.
Prof. H. K. Orgain, an old A. and

paid the college a visit at the opening

As a tree is judged by its fruit, so
