The latter film was especially enjoyable in that it combined humor, fast action, and melodrama with the explanation of extraordinary com- munication systems. At a third meeting, held November 24, 1933, the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company presented sound pictures dealing with recent develop- ments in Electrical Engineering. It was with interest that we noted a large number of Mechanicals and Chemicals in the audience, proving, perhaps, that our branch of work is interesting to all engineers. At following meetings, talks, pictures, and demon- strations of measuring instruments, radio tubes, cathode ray tubes, and many other devices were presented. All of these were arranged with the thought in mind of ac- quainting our membership with new developments in our line of work. A Social Committee, appointed at a business meeting held November 10, 1933, arranged for the two social gatherings of the organization. The fall smoker, held at the Theta Xi house on November 23, 1933, was pro- nounced a huge success. Plans are being made for a spring smoker and for some sort of spring outing. A.I.E.E.

ARMOUR BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN The Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers started this school year with a busi- ness meeting, held October 6, 1933. At this meeting’it was decided to carry out the general plan of having lectures and demonstrations by guest speakers, and in addition have speeches presented by student members. With this in mind, a program committee of two Seniors and two Juniors was appointed, with instructions to secure the type of material best fitted to the needs of student Electrical Engineers. Subsequent events have proven that our program committee prepared the best and most liked meetings of any that have ever been held. The first regular meeting of the branch was held on October 13, 1933. At this time Mr. Bracken of the Commonwealth Edison Company gave a very interest- ing talk on the part his company played in the Century of Progress Exposition. The subject was very timely, inasmuch as everyone present had spent the summer taking in the Fair. Mr. Bracken presented his material in a most interesting and instructive manner, revealing a close acquaintance with the many phases of power distribution and engineering. The second meeting was held in the Assembly Hall on October 27, 1933. The Illinois Bell Telephone Com- pany presented four reels of sound pictures, dealing Stephen G. Lehmann Stephen G.

WESTERN SOCIETY One of the major advantages in attending an institu- tion of repute for the acquisition of a professional edu- cation is to be found in the wealth of opportunities pre- sented for intimate contact with the profession prior to completion of undergraduate study. The Armour Branch of The Western Society of Engineers offers one such opportunity to the student of Civil Engineering. Founded here at the Institute in October, 1919, it has continued in the intervening years to afford the Civil Engineering student with the convenience of fostering direct contact with practicing engineers. This year many interesting and well-known speakers have addressed the organization. Dean Penn was the first speaker of the year. On October 6th, Mr. Penn gave a most interesting discourse on Engineering in the Netherlands.” Dean Penn visit- ed the Netherlands during the Summer of ’33 and had returned from his trip but a short time before his talk. The subject was very well illustrated with innumerable recollections fresh in mind. On October 20th, Mr. G. R. Rush of R. W. Hunt Company spoke on Concrete and Reinforcing Steel,” a most educational talk in that it presented the viewpoint of the manufacturer of construction materials. Mr. W. R.
