AlChE The Stanford Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineer! attempt not only to acquaint the itudent witti the national AICE and to familiarize him with the conditions and problems that arise in Industry, but also to further relations between the faculty and the students. The chapter tries to accomplish this through a program of field trips to local plants and various social functions which enable the students and faculty to meet and discuss informally. HCfl -»• •«fvf ts SIGMA DELTA PI Sigma Delta Pi is the Stanford chapter of the national honorary Spanish society. Its aims are to promote Interest in the Spanish speaking countries. It carries out these alms through meetings, lectures, sponsoring Spanish and Meiican movies for the entir campus, and attending other Spanish cultural events In the area. Highlight of the year.

Under the leadership for the second foar of Leslie Robinson, Sigma Delta Pi correlated even more closely with the Depart- ment of Romanic Languages.

The Stanford School of Engineering it divided info four nr ajor divisions to pernnit the student to specialize in the various fields of engineering. These divisions are Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The latter is further subdivided into smaller divisions of aeronau- tical engineering and engineering mechanics. The school is thus designed to permit the scientifically or aeronautically minded student to follow a program which is flexible enough to suit his specific interests. Degrees In engineering can even be obtained without specification of a major field. Recent years have been spent by the Engineering School In developing new facilities for research. These and other advancements such as the Stanford linear accelerator which Is housed In the Microwave Laboratory, have received widespread acclaim in the scientific world. ENGIi Ei;RIN(i HUMANITIES SCIENCES The very heart of the Stanford educational program is the School of Humanities and Sciences. It Is the largest and most all-embrac- ing school on campus; In it are Included the faculties of thirty-one departments. The purpose of this school, unlike the other schools on campus, is not to give the student professional Instruction, but to offer him a general education. The school therefore contains all of the basic and traditional studies as well as the many fields of specialized study which do not lead directly to professional degrees. The School of Humanities and Sciences Is the backbone of the Stanford research program. It offers ample opportunities for research and Its subsequent application. This school has satis- fied the desires of many who come to college with no other goal In mind than receiving a liberal education. 27

Xi £ £ AIEE-IRE The Stanford Student branches of the Annerlcan Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers are combined into a joint organization. The group supple- ments the academic instruction of the classroom by introducing its members to the prac- tical side of engineering. Qualified guest speakers lecture to the organization on subjects of practical interest, field trips to local electrical manufacturers and power plants are arranged, and several parties are held each quarter.

ROBERT MARTINI ALPHA CHI SIGMA The Alpha Alpha chapter of the Alpha Chi Sigma was established at Stanford in 1916. This organization is a national professional chemistry fraternity which operates at both the collegiate and professional level. Among the members of the fraternity may be found chemists, chemical engineers, metallurgists, petroleum engineers, and many others who have chosen professions based on the science of chemistry. As an organization, Alpha Chi Slgma ' s purposes are to promote close relations among the faculty and students, to further an Interest in safety, and to work for the advancement of chemistry both scien- tifically and professionally.
