One of the traditionally distinguished student events is the dinner each spring at which the new volume of TECHNIQUE is presented fresh from the press and its retiring editors in- troduce their successors. I am always impressed at these dinners by the enthusiasm and good fellowship of the staff and by their appreciation of those qualities of craftsmanship and managerial skill which are essential to the production of a top-flight yearbook. T ECI-INIQUE, 1941, reflects this fine morale and at the same time exemplifies the excellence of undergraduate activi- ties at the Institute. VVe welcome this new record of student life not only for its distinction and utility as a book, but for its record of the wide variety of enterprises which Technology students conduct with pleasure and profit to themselves and benefit to the Institute.

F,,.--nr., Q. , . 11 I. L: , . - '1- '. f Representatives of the administrative group who assist the president and Corporation as a whole are the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Deans of Engineering, Architecture, Humanities a11d Graduates. The Treasurer is entrusted with all matters pertaining to financial policy of the Institute. He, in conjunction with the Finance Committee, determines the budget for each fiscal year, directs the Institute,s extensive investments, and super- vises the use of the yearly interests derived there- from. The Secretary, although not a full-time member of the administrative group, plays an important part in the Institute,s organization. It is his duty to keep accurate records of the pro- ceedings of the four yearly Corporation meetings and to report them to the Board of Trustees. Each Dean is the administrative head of his department and conceives and supervises the departmental, inter-departmental and research Work of his particular school. As the Dean of Students advises the students in their personal problems, so the other Deans assist the men in their departments, acting as student advisors. In the Schools of Architecture, Engineering and Science are grouped those departments of study which lead to degrees and which embody the pri- mary educational objectives of the Institute. The Graduate School coordinates the work leading to advanced degrees in all the undergraduate de- partments.
