NEW TECH BUILDINGS 
BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS AND More 
Room IN NEW QUARTERS. 
HE who comes to the Boston Tech 
for the first time may well be 
struck with #he magnitude of the 
great structure which gathers more 
than twelve acres of floor space under 
one roof, while the student who is 
returning after a year or two in the 
older buildings will realize the con- 
venience of arrangement, for oa 
Boylston street in Boston, the change 
from room to room at the beginning 
of new exercise periods meant often- 
times a glissade down three of four 
flights of stairs, a sprint along a quar- 
ter of a mile of city streets filled wita 
traffic and breathless ascent of three 
or four flights to the drawing room 
or. laboratory in the top of Walker 
or Rogers. With the new buildings 
related courses are placed near one 
another so that there is the minimum 
of journey and this within the wings 
of the single great structure. 
The New Technology, with the 
buildings completed whose founda- 
tions are now laid, will have cost 
above seven million dollars. The 
plan is of connected wings springing 
from the library or administration 
building and enclosing the three sides 
of a great court and of two minor 
courts as well. The area of a single 
floor is about three and one-half 
acres, the educational structures oc- 
cupy a plot of twelve acres with an 
equal area reserved for the educa- 
tional buildings of the future. For 
the student dormitories and activities 
eight acres will be used while the 
athletic field, with the best track in 
the country occupies seven acres. 
The power house, a great labora- 
tory in which students will have facil- 
ities for experiments, has a capacity 
of two thousand horse power and, 
furnishing electrical light and power, 
is at once a central station and a sub- 
station. A big underground passage 
connects the boiler house with the 
laboratory and a smaller one for 
superheated steam at 175 Ibs. pres- 
sure. This steam subway is seven 
feet square in section and seven hun- 
dred feet long. 
The hydraulic laboratory is equip- 
ped with a system of canals of about 
one thousand feet in length with a 
pump of 22,000 gallons, to keep them 
filled, the capacity of ten or a dozen 
ordinary fire engines. The electric 
laboratory has four transformers 
dropping from 3500 volts to 500 and 
120 together with a high tension sec- 
tion for experimental purposes from 
a western line. There are three 
great crane-wells in the different la-

boratories where ten tons can be

perimenting with heavy pieces of ma- 
chinery. 
The Walker Memorial which is 
under construction is to be the stu- 
dent club and centre. It will be in 
memory of the second president of 
Technology, Gen. Francis A. Walker, 
and will house thirty or more student 
societies and activities, afford a gen- 
eral meeting place, and be the all- 
Technology clubhouse. It will have 
an immense dining hall to seat a thou- 
sand at one time, a gymnasium for 
the students, a great foyer for social 
occasions and many special rooms. 
The student dormitories will accom- 
modate two hundred and the unit 
erected is to be followed by two or 
three more when practicable. To- 
gether with the house of President 
Maclaurin, for which the foundations 
are under way, the Technology group 
will form a group of harmonious 
structures along the bank of the 
Charles River Basin, the inland water 
park of metropolitan Boston. 
"30, LONG. Lethe. 
No musical production of recent 
years has quite the unique record to 
boast of as. the sensationally success: 
ful musical farce “So Long Letty,” 
which has to its credit engagements 
of 12.weeks in Los Angeles, 16 weeks 
in San Francisco and 26 weeks in 
Chicago. Oliver Morosco who gave 
Boston delightful “Peg O’ My 
Heart,” has sent this production to 
the Shubert Theatre for 3 weeks only. 
and there will be only one week more 
in Boston after next week, antecedent 
to its opening at New York’s Shubert 
Theatre. 
“So Long Letty” holds the unusual 
distinction of being a musical play 
with a decidedly interésting plot. It 
was written by Mr. Morosco and 
Elmer Harris and the lyrics and mu- 
sic were written by Earl Carroll. The 
story is of two friends who want to 
trade wives and what happens to 
them forms a wonderful story. 
For the interpretation of this musi- 
cal play, Mr. Morosco has assembled
