THAYER SCHOOL INSPECTION TRIP

Members of the first year class of the Thayer School, accompanied by the Director, Professor Fletcher, recently made an interesting trip of inspection to New York. The trip was made especially valuable by the cooperation of many of the graduates of the School resident in New York. Among the hosts and guides to the party, which numbered nineteen, were Otis E. Hovey '89, Edwin J. Morrison '93, Frank E. Cudworth '02, Frank B. Marsh '02, E. H. Whitaker '02, L. B. Farr '03, A. C. Tozzer 'O3, and P. L. Thompson. '09. Aside from these graduates, contractors, superintendents, and army officers were most kind in rendering every assistance to make inspection of their various projects satisfactory. The visits of inspection included the abutment of the designed 975 foot steel arch to span Hell Gate Channel, the foundation of the new Equitable Life Assurance building, the tunneling operations for the new rapid transit subway, the Flatbush Avenue shaft of the aqueduct tunnel for the new Catskill Supply, and mechanism connected with the fortifications at Fort Hamilton.
