Graduates of Technology.

In connection with the recent discussion concerning the salaries of college graduates, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has gathered some figures from classes that have been some years out of school and whose members have been able to test their quality as workers in the world. The incomes of the members of the class of 1893, for example, were asked for when the class had been sixteen years out of college, and the figures are here given. Of the class, 152 men gave replies. The highest income was $52,500, the lowest $1000 with an average of $5576. Thirty-eight men receive incomes above the average, more than one-third of the whole. The seventy-sixth man, who is the numerical middle of the class, now gets $3200.

The class of 1894, after ten years out had reports from 131 men, whose average salary was $3400, and in this case, excluding those of five figures, the average for the rest of the men was $2580. Here the highest salary is $30,000. After ten years out the class of 1895 had three men out of the ninety with salaries of $12,000, $22,500, and "not over" $50,000, with thirty-eight men between $1000 and $3000, and eleven between $3500 and $4000. One hundred and fifty-one men reported in the class of 1896, after it had been out for ten years, and here an analysis is made between graduates and specials. The average of the former is $2958, and of the latter is $3548, while for the whole class it is $3100. The middle man here receives $2500 and the average with the two lowest and the two highest omitted is $2942.

Intellectual Gymnasium.

Dartmouth College has received a gift of $100,000 for the erection of a building which in the words of the donor, Mr. W. F. Robinson, of Boston, will "present a strong counterpoise to athleticism on the one hand and to social cliques on the other."

The building, to be known as Robinson Hall, will be given over exclusively to the use of student organizations other than athletic, and will, in short, be to the intellectual and artistic activities of the undergraduates very much what the new gymnasium is to their athletic activities.
