foreword Events which have transpired since the publication of the 1945 Teckmila have surpassed what might have been, at that time, our wildest dreams. The greatest of these, of course, was the successful termination of the most destructive war of all time. The students of HIT can pride themselves in the fact that they, in their own fashion, contributed to the defeat of the enemy, even though many of them, for reasons of age or sex, were unable to enter active service. At no time did the call for blood and the request to buy war bonds go unheeded, and these are but two of the many and varied contribu- tions. The records of our veterans speak for themselves. They performed an Herculean task, and HIT is proud of them. God’s blessing and our heartfelt gratitude go to those who did not return. And now, in 1946, with these never-to-be-forgotten facts behind us, we can again stride forth towards a learning that will enable us to become better citizens of a better world. This, and this alone, must be our purpose.

DR. MARK ELUNGSON The faculty and stall of the Rochester Institute of Technology take this opportunity to congratulate and extend best wishes to the mem- bers of the Senior Class. We have great hopes for a useful and con- structive career for everyone of you. There is, of course, no simple formula for successful citizenship. We are sure, however, that to attain a full measure of success you must have at least more than a moderate amount of competence in your occupational field. With this as a basis upon which to build, you must participate in community and civic affairs. Your participation must extend to an understanding of the problems and peoples of other lands. We are living in an international age, and your thinking and action must be geared to a new kind of international relations. Finally, you must concern yourselves with your own intellectual growth. You must keep the channels of your mind forever open in order that new occasions will not find you unprepared.
