LOTT, M.E., STEVENS INSTITUTE Assistant Professor, Stevens Institute MECHANICAL DRAWING LOUELLA J. BENSON Secretary STEVENS SCHOOL STEVENS SCHOOL, founded in 1870 by the Trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology, has had a long and successful existence. It was one of the first schools in the country to offer satisfactory training in Mathe- matics and Science, as it introduced into its curriculum at the be- ginning several novel features, one of which was the teaching of two mathematical subjects during the same year. From 1912 to 1916, Stevens Institute had grown so rapidly in numbers on account of admission by certificate as well as by ex- amination, that part of the school building on River Street had been occupied by the Institute classes and, in October, 1916, the Trustees decided, with regret, that they would need the whole building as a recitation hall, the change to take effect in Septem- ber, 1917. At once, Mr. B. F. Carter and Mr. L. G. Saunders, for many years members of the Faculty, started to make arrangements to continue the School in a new location. They were fortunate in securing the former Hoboken High School building, and Stevens School opened on September 17, 1917, for the first year under the new management. The Head Masters enjoyed the co-operation of the Trustees of the Institute and the assistance of many of the former excellent Faculty. The Trustees wished the close relations between of the Institute and School to continue and Dr. Alexander C. Humphreys, President of the Faculty and Board of Trustees, sent to patrons a letter embodying their views, in which he says: 7 LOCATION AND BUILDING The School occupies the former Hoboken High School building, called the Martha Institute, at the corner of Sixth Street and Park Avenue. It is easily accessible from all points in metropolitan New York and New Jersey, as it is only thirteen minutes' walk from the Hudson Tubes Ter- minal, the Lackawanna Terminal, the Barclay, Christopher, and Fourteenth Street ferries. In addition, it is but three short blocks from the Washington Street trolley line, and one block from the Willow Avenue line, to both of which transfers may be obtained from the Jersey City, Weehawken, West Hoboken, and Union Hill lines, and all through lines entering Hoboken. Umlirtng The large brick building is well adapted for school purposes, situated as it is on a corner, with light and air on all four sides and on streets paved with asphalt or wood blocks. Every classroom is well ventilated and lighted, not only by large windows, but also by electric light for dark and stormy days. The whole building was thoroughly renovated and put in the best of condition, the heating plant overhauled and additional radiation installed. There are five fire exits and a wide fire escape with regular steps, leading from the top floor. On the ground floor is a large assembly hall where the School gathers for singing and public speaking, for addresses by men of influence in various lines, for reports of athletic activities, and for meetings that tend to develop school morale. In this way, each student realizes that he is an integral part of the School, while section and class feeling merge into school loyalty. On the floors above the hall are nine classrooms, two large labo- ratories, a reading room, office, and lunchrooms. The Hoboken Turn Hall, one-half block away, is used during the winter for basket ball. 9 COMMENCEMENT 1920 The Third Annual Commencement of the School took place on Friday, June 11, 1920, at 8 p.m., in the auditorium of Stevens Institute of Technology. After introductory remarks by the Head Master, the Salutatory was delivered by Marshall Alexander Laverie. The feature of the exercises was the address to the graduating class by President Alexander C. Humphreys of Stevens Institute of Technology. This was followed by the Valedictory, delivered by Andrew Charles Becker, and the presentation of prizes and conferring of conferred on the following members of the Class of 1920: William Clayton Andre Frederick Charles Barton, Jr. Charles Edward Basso Andrew Charles Becker Joseph Christian Becker Paul Norman Bertuch William Moore Black John Burian Martin Walter Cooke Norman Edwin Danzberger Edward Payson Dwyer, Jr. Charles Fern Hopkins Fisher Harry George Hadeler William George Hirschfeld Luman George Hubbell Richard Dickinson Jewett Frank Ayr Joline Edward Stanley Kelly Albert Franklin Lager Marshall Alexander Laverie Marshall Borman Lisowski Percival Carlton Lissenden Alexander Miller Carl Frank Oelhaf, Jr. Charles Dietrich Oltmann Frederick Theodore Oltmann Robert Goddeau Overbaugh Harold Morrison Robertson 30 Charles Schmidt, Jr. Lauriston Sale Taylor Frank William Schreiner William Dominic Ward James Worthington After the graduating exercises, the Class of 1920 held their Class Day.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Stevens School Alumni Association was organized in De- cember, 1918, with the following officers: President, R. R. ZISETTE, '18 Secretary, R. D. TERHUNE, '18 A banquet was held on June 20, 1919, at which time the annual election of officers took place. The following officers were elected for the year 1919-1920: President, W. S. SHELLY, '18 Secretary, A. G. GALE, '19 Address: Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J. These officers continue for the year 1920-1921. 31 HONORS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES Those students in each class having the highest general average are placed on the Honor Roll for each six weeks, for the term, and for the year. At the graduating exercises in June, that member of the Senior Class who has the highest standing for the last three years is ac- corded the honor of delivering the Valedictory, while the student who stands next highest delivers the Salutatory. In June 1920, M. A. Laverie was the Salutatorian of the class and A. C. Becker, the Valedictorian. Through the kindness of the Trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology, four scholarships in the Institute are held by the School, one of which is given annually to that member of the Senior Class who obtains the best average for the Upper Middle and Senior years. This scholarship is worth $275 per year, as it consists of the remission of tuition in the Institute. The forty-sixth annual competition, June, 1920, was won by A. C. Becker with an average of 93.13. The following prizes are offered: A medal to the student who, in the opinion of the Faculty and the Student Council, has done the most during the year to promote the interests of the School. This is called the Student Council Medal. Won, 1918, by W. J. Brown, '18. Won, 1919, by R. W. Emerson, '19. Won, 1920, by A. C. Becker, '20. Honorable mention, M. A. Laverie, '20, P. C.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS All branches of athletics are fostered by the School including lacrosse, one of the best possible forms of out-of-door exercise. Several recent graduates have made their varsity letter in competition in college in this sport as well as in baseball, football, and basket ball. During the winter, basket ball is played at our court in the Turn Hall, one-half block from the School. In order to interest as many students as possible and to give them the benefit of actual games and coaching, intersection series are played between the classes. Mr. Spry, of our own Faculty, acts as coach for football, base- ball, and basket ball. There are teams also in track, tennis, and lacrosse. Candidates are called out for these sports at the proper time, and it is hoped and expected that as many students as possible will enter their names, in order to secure the healthy exercise in- volved. The Athletic Association is composed of the Faculty Assnriatinn students of the School. It controls all branches of athletics under the supervision of the Head Master. A new constitution has recently been ratified, governing the award of the school insignia to members of the teams. The officers for the current year are: President, V. de C. Lynn, '21; Vice President, J. R. Kelly, '21; Secretary, R. H. Smart, '21; Treasurer, Mr. Carter. ATHLETIC LEADERS 1920-1921 FOOTBALL Captain Milton K. Emerson Manager Frank E. Livingston 34 V. de C.
