Monin 20 1 THE INSTITUTE ! . a The Armour Institute of Technology was founded by one of America’s noblest philanthropists, Mr. Philip D. Armour, a man whose name is inseparably connec- ted with Chicago and the Middle West. The institution which bears his name is an enduring monument to the ideals for which Mr. Armour stood. The aim of the Institute has been the broad one of educating the entire man—head, hand, and heart, and of making possible the acquisition by its students of knowledge, skill, and culture, and above all, of developing self-reliance and manliness. Mr. Armour’s philanthropy was not of the enervating kind that makes its recipients dependent. He desired to help only those who wished to help themselves. He did not aim to carry men, but to teach them how to walk. In the history of the Armour Institute of Technology another name will ever be linked with that of Mr. Armour—the name of Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, whose mighty brain, warm heart and eloquent tongue were needed to plan and super- vise the work. It was his eloquence which awakened in Mr. Armour’s mind the design to establish Armour Institute of Technology. Dr. Gunsaulus one Sun- day preached a sermon at Plymouth Church, of which he was then pastor and of which Mr Armour was a member. In this sermon he lamented the fact that so little was being done to prepare young people for the practical duties of life. At the conclusion of the service Mr. Armour offered to his enthusiastic pastor the means wherewith to erect an institution that would meet these needs. The interest of Mr. Armour in the practical training of young people had al- ready been awakened to some extent by observing the work done under the direc- tion of Mrs. Julia A. Beveridge at the Armour Mission. The Armour Mission had been built by Mr. Philip D. Armour to carry out the wish of his brother, Mr. Joseph Armour, who had left a bequest of $100,000. for that purpose. The building was opened in 1886. Mrs. Beveridge, believing that the usefulness of the Mission might be increased by taking up manual training, organized classes in wood-carving, clay-modeling, tile-making, and drawing for the boys, and classes in domestic arts for girls. The success and popularity of these classes, together with the influence of the suggestions of Dr. Gunsaulus, induced Mr. Armour to erect and endow munificicntly an institution devoted to practical and liberal education. A visit to eastern institutions was made by Mr. Armour and Dr. Gunsaulus, with the result that they decided to organize a school similar to Pratt or Drcxel Institute. Upon their return a Board of Trustees was organized, consisting of the follow- i i THE INSTITUTE ing: Mr. Philip D. Armour Jr., and Mr. J. C. Black. A charter was obtained from the legislature incorporating the new institution. A handsome and spacious building was completed in 1892, the first classes being organized in the fall of the next year. Dr. Gunsaulus, as president, was assisted by a small, but very efficient faculty, of which Prof. L. C. Monin, Prof. John E. Snow, Mrs. Julia A. Beveridge, and Air. Agle are still associated with the Institute. The trustees generously fostered the growth of the new institution. Mention must also be made of the work of Mr. F. U. Smith, who as Secretary of the Board of Trustees and Comptroller of the Institute, has since the inception of the Armour Institute of Technology, taken the keenest interest in everything that would redound to its progress and efficiency. The first dean of the Armour Institute of Technology was Prof. Thomas C. Roney, at whose death Prof. Victor C. Alderson became dean. When Prof. Alderson resigned to accept the presidency of the Colorado School of Mines, Prof. Louis C. Monin was appointed dean of the Cultural Studies and Principal of the Scientific Academy, while Prof. Howard M. Raymond became dean of the Engineering Studies and also took charge of the supervision of the Evening Class and Summer School work. At the time of its foundation the Institute comprised the Scientific Academy, and the Technical College as at present, but also included Departments of Domes- tic Arts, Commerce, Music, and Kindergarten Normal Training. The courses included in the Technical College were;--Mechanical and Elec- trical Engineering, Chemistry, Architecture and Library Science. Between 1896 and 1901, the courses in Domestic Arts, Commerce and Music were dropped, one by one, to meet the ever increasing demand for young men trained in applied science. In 1901 co-education in the Academy was given up, so that the instruc- tion was limited to young men. All the engineering courses have been strengthened from year to year. Departments of Civil, Chemical and Fire Protection Engi- neering, and of Industrial Arts have been added to the other engineering courses. A union was affected with the Art Institute of Chicago for the purpose of develop- ing the course in Architecture which that institution had successfully maintained since 1889. The result was the establishment of the Chicago School of Archi- tecture. Since 1902 Evening Classes have been offered, and the evening work has attracted many who are employed during the day and who wish to take ad- vantage of this opportunity of acquiring a technical training that is thus placed within their reach. At the same time summer courses were offered which are proving more helpful and popular each year. An additional building known as Machinery Hall was erected in 1902, Mrs. P. D. Armour having donated the building, while Mr. J. Ogden Armour bore the expense of providing the equipment, which in its excellence was unsurpassed by any similar institution in this country. Mr. J. Ogden Armour also presented to the Institute the grounds known as Ogden Field, the opening of which has greatly stimulated the interest in athletics among the students and faculty. Two additions have been made to the Institute since the erection of Machinery Hall. In 1908, the Refrigeration Laboratory, with complete equipment, was built. The Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory was completed in 1917. This is the best and most complete laboratory of its kind in the United States, a fact of which all Armourites are justly proud. Located in the great metropolis of the West, the Institute offers to its students opportunities of acquiring a practical training in engineering which would be impossible in almost any other locality. We have all reason to be proud of the remarkable progress made by the Armour Institute of Technology within so short a period of time. The fame of the Institute and her graduates is being heard of every day all over the world. N. B. —The editor is greatly indebted to Dr. G. L.

Cfje Class of 1918 1 When the class of 1918 registered at Armour back in the fall of 1914. 150 strong, little did it think that only one third of that number would be able to complete the course. We arc, needless to say, proud of our former classmates who are now so gallantly serving Our Country in this great World War. We held our first class meeting early in the fall of 1914, and E. S. Beaumont was elected president. Through his leadership the boys became very well ac- quainted with each other, and it was not long until we became united so strongly that we dared to give the first dance of the year, contrary to all tradition, the “Freshman Mixer Dance”. This got us “in bad” right royally with the upper classes, so that on the night of the Smoker-Rush, we could expect little help or sympathy from the Juniors, the I'reshies’ ally. Due to our larger number we subdued the Sophs in this so called rush. Iii our Sophomore year S.L. Evans wielded the gavel; but even with the pep- pery little president we did not become any too active, owing to the complexity of the sophomore course, which kept us out of mischief, or rather almost out. The school and nearby residents will never forget the four foot 18’s which deco- rated the side walks in this vicinity. Said figures seemed to spring up a la mush- room during the night prior to the rush. As is usually the case, the Frosh won the rush, all but about 20 of our gallant warriors evidently got the w. k. lack of heat in their pedal extremities. Our Junior year was featured by the Junior week in which the Junior Play, Prom, and Circus Day were held. The Junior Play, it is safe to say was the best ever presented by any class. It was a musical comedy and the music was written by two of our classmates, Quinn and Chappellc. Puschcl was our class president, Kerr first marshal in charge of Circus Day, and Quinn second marshal in charge of the Junior Play. We now find ourselves therefore at the end of our college life, with these things attained: Our dances were super-excellent, always a capacity crowd. Our participation in athletics was fairly good, Kerr, Hullinger, Taylor and Evans winning their A’s. We have proven ourselves to be good actors. Ditto, painters. As the 25th class of A.I.T. we hope to show the world how, and war activities will undoubtedly be the field of our immediate endeavors, for, to the last man we are behind the good old U. S.

Electrical Engineering. Omega Lambda; Eta Kappa Nu; A.l.E.E. Ray came to us four years ago, and did not make much noise about it. Ever since he entered Armour he has been pretty quiet, when there is a crowd around, but in small parties you will hear the Swede above all others. Studies never did bother Ray much until the last week of the semester, but grades show that he was on the job all the time. We wish the “Skipper from Iowa” the best success in the future, and feel sure he will make good because he just can’t help himself. Alan H. Eerguson Radio Communication Course. Born January 12, 1895.

Senior Class Vice-president. “Eff.” came from Canada to find a quiet place, but got here just in time to get into the first draft. After completing the governments radio course he expects to matriculate as a Lieutenant at one of Uncle Sam’s camps. If anyone can get the Kaiser’s goat, why Effingham can. Jerome W. Goldstein Radio Communication. Born March 24, 1897. Chicago, 111. Crane Technical High School, 1914. Electrical Engineering. Y.M.C.A.; A.l.E.E. Class Indoor Baseball 1915-16, 1916-17; Volley ball team 1916-17; Chairman Pin Committee. When “Stein” couldn’t be found around the places of learning, one could usually find him engaged in a hot game of volley ball up in the gym. This strenuous sport, however, has not appeared to interfere with his studies, for he has a good average in his studies, and is a “Bear” at explaining A.C. circle diagrams. Nuf Sed. Edward Haizman Born December 29, 1894. Chicago, Illinois. Crane Tech. June 1914. Electrical Engineering. Crane ’Lech” men arc usually welcome at Armour, but Haizman has made himself doubly welcome. Ed was one of the boys who took the Junior Year electrical work during the summer of 1917 and came up with his customary smile in the fall. A demon for work, a quiet but aggressive old plugger with a perpetual smile, who never says quit. We’re strong for you Ed. Axel August Hofcrex Radio Communication. Born September 19, 1896.

In spite of the imposing array of honors given above, the “Big Swede” is a real regular sort of a fellow. In the two years, he has been with us, he has made great progress as a student, a singer,— and a dancer. We look for great things from Axel in the “Greater School.” 46 ZZZ3I 0. M.

Our star 1st Baseman—lie made the Tech team in his freshman year, but now has his exemption be- cause of being wounded on the battle ground at Ogden Field in 1916. He hopes to cover the home plate soon after obtaining a new diamond —contrary to all published data. Ora Merle is a hard worker, and de- serves all the credit we can give him for he has worked eight hours a night to put himself through school. Vernon E. Hupp Design of an Artificial Transmission Line. Born October 10, 1893. Slater, Missouri. Slater High School 1910. Electrical Engineering. Omega Lambda; Eta Kappa Xu. “Vern” as you see was from the “Mule State” and, as is customary for those of his kind, he claims he has to be shown. This is sometimes true, but if Hupp doesn’t see it, nobody else will. He is always on the job and willing to help anyone in any way he can. Ralph A.

Chairman, A.I.E.E.; Class track 1915-16-17; Class in- door baseball 1916-17. Ralph is numbered among the aggressive “Armour” men who has found time to take part in everything worth while, make good as a student, and work his way through by working evenings. During his Junior Year he was the recipient of the Catherine White Scholarship. Roman J. Sedlacek Radio Communication substituted. Born November 14, 1897. Chicago, 111.

We wish he had been with us four years, he and his side kick Hai .man; for to hear them “ride” each other is par with Kolb and Dill. Sed shot through drawing like a demon on wheels, having done his Junior drawing on half schedule; besides finding time to drop down to the floor below to have a few clicks with the ivories.

He belongs to the night owls of Armour, having worked nights at the South Shore Country Club, but associating with the high brows didn’t bother him a bit. He was surely doomed to be an engineer for we see his initials arc F.P.S. (Ft. Lb. Sec.) o THE CLASSES B. S. in E. E. Harold Huyck Shotwell Born August 19, 1896. Midland, Michigan.

Shotwell is a true disciple of Marconi, being so proficient in that pursuit that he has been selected by the deans to conduct classes in code practice at the Institute. “Joe” has been very popular at the Tech, as his list of activities shows; and he has the distinction of being a good fellow, a Beau Brummcll, and yet a 100% student. Men of these characteristics can never fail, and we are proud to have him with us in this class of 1918. Francis Brooke Vogdes Radio Communication substituted. Born February 15, 1897.

Just look at his record if you don’t believe it, or ask all of his co-electricals. But, don’t think that he is a grind. Ask him to box with you and you’ll find out more. B. S. in M. E.

A.S.M.E.; Beta Phi; Class Baseball 1913-14; President Freshman Class 1913; Chairman Social Committee 1914-15. Andre is our “come back” man, having been forced to discontinue his studies during the middle of his Junior year. In the fall of 1917 he returned, and is knocking out 1 Yi years work in one, which is no snap in the Mechanical Course. Andre was captain of the fresh- man baseball team, and caught on the sophomore team, both of which were intcrclass champs. W.m. Belke Coke Breeze Briquetting. Born January 30, 1898. Chicago, III. Crane Technical High School, June 1914. Mechanical Engineering. It is reported that just three times since entering Armour, Bill has been caught without a smile. The mechanicals, a happy bunch at all times, found in Belke just the right sort to “laugh” them over the rough spots, and we arc convinced that his smile will leave its trail along the commercial highways. Edward J. Durham Installation and Operation of Boiler Control Apparatus. Born June 13, 1897. Chicago, Illinois. Crane Technical High School. Mechanical Engineering. A.S.M.E. “Bull” Durham, has gained a prestige at Armour not through his physical power, for he is a small man, but through his hard, consistent, daily brain work and continual good humor. It was seldom that any one of the class ever finished any part of the work ahead of “Bull.” 48 THE CLASSES B. S. in M. E. Volney A. Kerr Design Construction and Testing of a Steam Air Ejector.

He won his A in basketball, track, and base- ball, during his first year with us; and as First Mar- shall of the Junior Class he gave all the Armourites a good time on Circus Day. His extreme modesty, and encouraging ways gained for him much popularity and many friends. Sasaki Tomigoro Small Steam Electrical Power Plant in Japan. Born 1888. Osaka Japan.

His exceptional talents along scholastic, literary, and athletic lines are re- flected in the honors he has earned. B. S. in C. E. Lester Clayton Bush Power Consumption Test of a Bascule Bridge. Born July 27, 1894. Central City, Colorado. Victor High School, June 1913. Civil Engineering. A.C.E.S. “Elsie” is one of the hardy miners, from out West, who having served his apprenticeship as a mucker, trammer and mule-skinner, thought the possum crew too slow for him and decided to try his hand at Civil Engineer- ing. That he has made good goes without saying. Although he doesn’t say much, you can always de- pend on “Elsie” to come across in a pinch. His many friends at Armour wish him success in his battle with the cold, cruel world. Blois Bert Cramer Design of a Reservoir for a Cantonment of 40,000 men. Born August 12, 1895. Shelby ville, 111. Lane Tech. 1914. Civil Engineering. Armour Civil Engineering Society. Little “Blois” will long be remembered as the hero of the 1917 summer camp “Snipe Hunt ”. His ability to assimilate punishment and come up smiling will always stand him in good stead. Now that Cramer is leaving we fear that Prof.Wells will be very lone- some indeed. 49 THE CLASSES B.

Cole is one of the youngest members of the class and to sec his scholarship record would lead one to believe that the number of A’s varies inversely with his age. He was awarded the first F.P.E. scholarship to Ar- mour. He has always been active in athletics, and would surely have landed an “A” if athletics had been continued. S.

Shorty is without doubt the biggest little man in college, and has made a host of friends at Armour with his whirlwind ways. One of the best milers” in the little “5”, the father of two bewitching maidens in the W. K. Show, and a dignified class president, he has surely proven himself to be an all around man. We hate to lose him. Richard X. Mann Open Sprinkler Distribution on Ridge Poles and Cor- nices. Born August 12, 1898. Portland Oregon. University High School 1914, Chicago.

It is this sort of man who is bound to succeed, when he finds time and energy for every branch of college activity. We are lucky to have one or two like him, when so many have already gone to war, as Class Spirit would be a dead letter without them. He is an example of that much discussed, but seldom encountered “Regular Armour Man”. R. H. Rusk Open Nozzle 'Lest of 33 Gallon Chemical Fire Engine. Born June 27, 1895. Ogden, 111.

Although Rusk entered Armour as an Architect, one year of Armour training uncivilized him, and he changed to the “ Fire Protection Engineering Course”. Rusk was a beautiful damsel in the Junior Play and lie is quite undecided as to his vocation after gradua- tion. 11c would like to be an actor, but after spending four years in the F.P. course lie really thinks his duty to his country is to be a “Plumber.” B.

Although not a native of the show me” State, Dave cannot help showing by his open character and wide imagination that he was raised under the influence of the valley of Mississippi. His impressive person- ality and friendliness has given him a place of distinc- tion among his classmates. Saying anything about Ukelcle playing, well, the Armour L’ks” say that Dave is a native of Hawaii. Lewis Edward Twery Born July 4, 1893. Chicago, 111. Y.M.C.A. High School, June 1914. Architecture.

That was back in ’15. We’re Juniors now; and as the interesting and amusing (?) situations which have arisen from time to time in the departments of Mathematics and Physics come before us, it is with reluctance that we approach the commencement of our last year at Armour. This year has been one of uncertainties, the necessarily hurried military prepar- ations of our country have greatly affected our organizations and plans for the year. Many of our men entered service immediately upon the completion of the Sopho- more year, and so reduced our numbers. At the first meeting, upon the suggestion of Dean Monin, we passed a resolution to suspend the Smoker and Sophomore Rush. Thus adding our support to a like resolution originated by the senior class. As the class are responsible for general school activities for ensuing year, we elected men for the Cycle staff and various committes at the close of last year. Hut due to the absence of many of these when school reopened, it was necessary to hold another election. Bob Rcnsch, who was elected Editor-in-Chief of the Cycle at the first meeting, packed his knapsack for Rockford about the second week in September. But Bob is back with us as a reservist now, and is carrying a large part of the Cycle job as Managing Editor for Bill Mendius, the present Editor-in-Chief. In conformity with the general conditions prevailing, the class decided to attempt no Junior Play this year; instead, an informal prom will be staged during junior week. The dance given on December seventh at the LaSalle Red Room, under the far-reaching guidance of Mr. Marx, was a successful event both in re- gard to attendance and financial outcome. Had the conditions been normal, with all activities in action, there is no doubt that the class of ’19 would have held her place in line, with strong representation in athletics and social affairs. As they are, we endeavor to maintain the credible standard of scholarship which has been ours; and with our men of military age in the Engineer Reserves, we enter upon the last year with our alma mater.

Van Vlissingen THE CLASSES Sophomore Class History Although our class was somewhat depleted on account of the boys leaving for war, it was re-enforced by new men who entered as sophomores at the beginning of the school year 1917-18. The class held its first meeting of the year, early in September and elected J. L. Aiming as President. To his, and his assistants’ efforts, most of the credit for the brilliant showing of the class must be attributed. Although we would liked to have had an opportunity of showing our mettle in the annual battle with the Freshmen, we appreciated the attitude of the Deans in the matter, and in- dicated our attitude by passing a resolution favoring the abandonment of the Sophomore-Freshman Rush. The Sophomore basket-ball team was composed of Erickson, Bready, Illg, Scharf, Aiming, and Havlick. Through the exceptionally fine playing of Erickson, Bready, and Illg, who composed the star remnant of our last year team, and the expert co-operation of their teammates, it met and defeated all comers in the inter-class games. Easily the big social event of the year was the Sophomore Dance, held in the Colonial Room of the Edgewater Beach Hotel on February 8th. To the Social Committee headed by “General” Andy belongs the credit for the “coup d’ ’etat.” — ip r A THE CLASSES r Students in Mechanical Engineering Adam, Paul J. Grey, P. C. McLaughlin, Hugh D.

Walter A V V jfrESfjman Class; i tstorp ’Twa$ on registration day that we “froshes” first arrived in the halls of good old Armour, and with what a feeling of wholesome awe and respect for the school. On that first day the whole institu- tion seemed filled with the new spirit of patriotic endeavor which was sweeping over the country. Al- though it didn’t take long for the awe and bigness of the school to pass away and for us to enter into the full swing of Armour life, the patriotic seriousness of that first day stayed with us, and was evident i n all of our class activities. The first of these was the Freshman Handshake, and that first experience of meeting the “men higher up” certainly made a lasting impression on us. What a thrill we had when the quartette ini- tiated us into the true spirit of the school with “Upward and Onward Armour,” and with how much respect and gladness did we hear the inspiring welcome of I)r. Gunsaulus. No wonder we left the meet- ing proud of the fact that we were students of Armour Institute. Soon afterwards we held our first class meeting and elected our officers for the year; W. C. Bell was chosen class president and in that capacity has ably directed our affairs during the past year. Strchlow was elected vice-president at the same meeting and Stegc and McCue were chosen treasurer and secretary respectively. The latter left school, however, and his place was ably filled by Singer. A second and a third meeting were held later, at the first of which an attempt was made to stir up some school activities in spite of the war. As a result a Freshman basket-ball team was organized which lost a hard fought game to the Sophomores in the first Freshman activity of the year. In the third meeting Gcislcr was elected cheer-leader and the Armour yells were practiced. When a class yell was asked for, Son—of—a—gun Son—of—a—gun was suggested and immediately adopted. The last and best activity of the year was the Freshman Dance. It was held at the Hyde Park Hotel, and rarely has that much used ball-room seen so many sparkling beauties or handsome youths as on that night of April 5th. Harvey’s orchestra rendered wonderful music and everyone present vouched for the unqualified success of the occasiou. This closed the Freshman activities of the year 1917-1S, a period marked by the serious endeavor of a nation at war. The class has tried to fall into step with the nation, and in stopping all useless and expensive events has helped a bit at least, to win the war. It is with this spirit in mind that we hope to continue ;ur career as Sophomores, and to add to the glory of old Armour. 1 THE CLASSES Class of J tneteen JNnbreb ®toeutp=(Dne . I ECU A XICAI.

The 1917 summer surveying class was a rather small one, numbering only fourteen, including Profs. Phillips and Penn and our trusty cook Oliver. But what we lacked in numbers we made up for in fun and pep, towards which little “Blois Cramer” contributed his overdue share. One can recall with pleasant re- collections such incidents as the “Snipe Hunt”. The Snipe is about as large as a pigeon and........., runs on the ground like a flying fish, ’twas said. Then the “Baptism of Fire”, (Oh, Gus! where are you?—the tent is falling—is Crown safe?) The midnight vigil on the Chocolate Drop—the story of the five dollar cot and many other incidents which are never to be forgotten. Great difficulty was experienced in getting a cook and it seemed for a while as though the camp would be at the tender (?) mercies of Gus the Greek, who had somewhere picked up a few pointers on the culinary art. But eggs three times a day was too much for even such a hardened epicure as Prof. Penn, so the services of Oliver were secured to fill in the voids. Oliver sure could cook and—such cats! For six weeks Pa saw to it that we lived on the fat of the land. Nothing was too good for us. It was a sight for sore eyes to see Oliver bring in a heaping platter of pancakes, place them at Pete’s-plate and then watch him bend to his task. He ate them slowly—ceaselessly—solemnly—as though consummating a great life work. “Pete” is on army rations now, but he knew a good thing when he saw it. Fishing and swimming were also enjoyed by all, the champion nimrod being L. C. Bush, who somehow lured a six-pound trout to strike at his fly. Why, the fishing was so good that even Gus spent many hours searching thru Sears Roe- buck’s catalogue for an appropriate outfit. Doughballs and bacon strips were gobbled up pronto by these uneducated fish. Several canoe trips were made to nearby lakes of the Manitowish River. The rapids in this stream arc very swift and in going down we had all we could do to sit still and hold tight. A spill meant a ducking, with the consequent loss of the pack which brought visions of a foodless supper, no bedding and swarms of blood- thirsty mosquitoes. We also tried to run off a dar.ce, but were rather pessimistic about getting S3SSV1D 3H1 enough ladies from the surrounding territory. Our fears were allayed however, for Pa counted forty-six as they filed by the door, whence stopping to count no more he rushed into the kitchen to hide the little ice cream can from this hungry horde. During the first few weeks we were delayed in our field work by the rain, which at one period fell continuously for five days. Last year’s work of triangulat- ing the territory bordering on the lake was continued. Polygons C, D, and E were tied in, complete data being obtained for a map which is now being platted. Reconnaissance surveys were made with the latest type of U.S. Army sketching board. We also had practice in leveling, stadia work, railroad surveying, sounding and made several observations on Polaris. When the time was up, each one of us was loathe to leave, for we all knew and felt that we had had the time of our young sweet lives. ■Xv-l. ORGANIZATIONS Armour Jfacultp Club F. U. Smith M. B.

Kerr President I ice-President Treasurer Secretary The school year of 1917-1918 started with only a few active members of the A.S.M.E. and it certainly looked gloomy for the coming year. The Junior Mechanicals got together and pushed things showing a spirit that put a “rift in the clouds.” The society decided to conduct the meetings in a similar manner to those of last year, because of added interest and cooperation of the boys shown in the informal meetings. Three or four members were therefore assigned to speak on some engineering subjects and to hold themselves open to dis- cussion upon the talk. 'Phis proved a success and was taken up with such enthusiasm that nearly every member of the society gave at least one interesting talk during the year. Among those talks which were of special note were: “Testing and Assembling of the Fairbanks-Morse Oil and Kerosene Engine”, by Mr. Taylor. “Specifications of the McKincl Power Plant”, by H. Anderson. “Design, Construction and Operation of the Diesel Oil Engine”, by Mr. Clausen. “Operation and Construction of a Modern Dispensing Machine”, by Mr. Rchfcldt. “Design and Remodeling of Valves in Motor Cars”, by Mr. Wertheimer. Lubrication of the Motor Car”, by Mr. Keith. “Use of Steam Turbines as a means of Propulsion for ships”, by Mr Xcilson. “Design and Manufacture of Piano Hardware”, by Mr. Lundc. “Qualities and Manufacture of Bycr’s Wrought Iron Pipe.

'Phis year the aim of the Society has been to present to the student a series of talks on widely varying subjects, to show him the broadness of scope of his profession. We take this opportunity to thank Prof. Freeman for his hearty cooperation, and the men who have addressed us for their kindness in giving us some of their valuable time. Following is a list of the meetings of the year: Oct. 18, 1917—Prof W. C. Bauer, “Application of Electron Theory to Thcrmo-Ionic Devices.” Mr. E. W. Grover, “Substations.” Nov. 7, 1917—Mr. D. .

To remedy this the by-laws were amended so as to make the lower classmen eligible to membership with restricted privileges and smaller dues. The innovation was a success as the meetings were well attended, and the under-classmen profited by the talks. There were fewer meetings this year on account of the un- settled conditions, making speakers less available. However, the following meetings were held, all with large attendance. Oct. 2. The first meeting was our annual smoker at which refreshments were served and new members accepted. Oct. 16. Summer Experiences with the Santa Fc and Rock Island Railroad by Mr. L. Weiss. Dec. 4.

ORGANIZATIONS tEtje Armour Chemical engineering ocietp F. R. Johnson . C. W. Muehlberger W. Wm. Koehler A. Pearson President Pice-President Secretary Treasurer The Society was organized in February 1903, for the purpose of bringing the students in chemical engineering into closer contact with one another and to assist them in their pursuance of that study by lectures from the members of the alumni and faculty and also the professional men engaged in chemical engineering work. The first session was held September 17th, Mr Cable officiating. The above officers with the ex- ception of vice-president, were elected at the meeting. October 8th, a second meeting of this society was held, and Mr.C. YV. Muehlberger, representing the Juniors, was elected vice-president. Other business was discussed at this meeting. A meeting was called to order on Monday. November 12th, and Prof. H. McCormack gave a very interesting talk on the features of the Chemical Exposition of New York, September, 1917 The rd of December Prof. B. B. Freud addressed the society. His subject was the “Development of the Modern Valence Ideas”. The lecture was instructive and was appreciated by the society. The Chemical Banquet, which was held on ti c 20th of December at the Auditorium Hotel, was quite successful; several of the Alumni members gave very interesting speeches. It was February 25th, when Mr. Wcbrc lectured on the controlling factors of evaporators, going somewhat in detail and giving a sample calculation. March, 29th, Dr. Harkins finished the discussion on the “Periodic System” which he started last year. The topic was represented from a new point of view, and the arguments were based on recent experimental facts. S4 'Pop Row -Melichar, Prest, Johnson, Mendius, Fischer, Clark, Wilson.

It was not possible to give the usual program of regular meetings, because of the fact that the seniors were heavily engaged in the signal corps course, in addition to their regular work. The faculty membership of the society has been slightly changed. Professor Allport resigned his position on the faculty to serve as a Lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps, and his position has been filled by Mr. N. F. Kimball, of the class of 1912. The Department of Fire Protection Engineering has been conducting some unusually interesting work at the Underwriters’ Laboratories on new apparatus which has been installed there, and much interesting material for investigation will await the men beginning their laboratory work next year lop Row -Puschbi., Kimbai.i., Rusk, Mann, Mintz.

Purchasing Agent After many successful years under the name of “Atelier”, a name which has always been mysterious to our brother engineers, and friends, it was decided to change the name this year to “The Armour Architectural Society.” The wheels of our social program for the year were set in motion early in November, when the annual Freshman initiation and banquet was held. Some twenty-five of the new men were subjected to the ordeal, which, of course, we could not print for the benefit of future aspirants. When the “un- sophisticated” had fully recovered, they were rewarded with the upper class-men, at the splendidly provided banquet table. Mr. S. A. Marx, a man prominent in Chicago Architectural circles, was then presented as speaker of the evening by Mr. Quinn. Mr. Marx left many valuable “tips” for the boys, and none have forgotten his well chosen bits of humor which made the talk doubly interesting. The big event of the year, no doubt, was the “ Brittany Street Fair” held in December. Inasmuch as the annual Mardi Gras was not held at the Institute this year, every effort, was made to make the “Fair” a real “Go”. As usual, the bulk of the designing and construction fell tothc lot of the archi- tects, and we feel it no idle boast to'say that they acquitted themselves creditably, or in plain English “produced the goods”, despite the fact that the chief carpenter, Christensen, and Chief Electrician Steinberg, and jazz band director Quinn had gone to join the colors. Under skillful management the south-west corner of the Art Institute was transformed into a miniature Brittany village, proper- ly supplemented to the satisfaction of the boys by a bevy of “Brittany Maidens”. (Oh you poor engineers!) The soft-drink booth proved the chief rendezvous for the villagers, but there is still some dispute as to the chief attraction there, the drinks or those who served them. The donations to the Fair were very generous and sales were quite satisfactory, and the affair was judged to be “all that could be desired”. ORGANIZATIONS §Iee anb jllanboltn Club Concert To fittingly climax a highly successful season, the Glee and Mandolin Club, “did their stunt”, for the home folks, on Friday, April 19, at the Annual Home Concert. And it surely was “some stunt”. Bang, and away they go with the “Star Spangled Banner.” Everyone was held in suspense until “America”, sent home the large and happy crowd, conscious of having spent a most enjoyable evening. Each number of the program presented some new agreeable surprise. The many new faces found in place of these who have graduated, or are now serving the colors, furnished just the talent necessary to present a well balanced organization. The “Whirlwind Jazz” of 1917, found a worthy successor in the “Twinkling Seven,” of 1918, which surely can “strum a wicked string”. The “Tech” boys are fortunate in having a bunch of fellows of the class of 21, who have been able to get together in so short a time. The Italian Quartette Prof. Smith, Mann, Hofgren and Drvden featured by the charming eccentric dance of Miss S. E. Drydcn, made a big hit. The “Dark- town Serenade”, by Strehlow, Michels, Jones, McCrca, was good, giving us a splendid imitation of our dusky neighbors. McCormack gave us a set of striking cartoons, well executed. He is a shining example of the class of artists we have at Armour. Broad and Marks were a scream and are due for much credit for their Love-making, which ended so romantically when Broad carried “Shorty” off the stage, to make room for a sketch of “The Lucky Seventh”. Misses Drydcn, Anderson, Rusk, Meilinger, were stunning; very bashful and demure. These young ladies were ably escorted and assisted by Messrs. Mann, Jones, Geislcr, Michels. This was unadulterated Armour talent. The duets, choruses, and dances were executed as if the performers had been professionals. Much credit must be given Prof. Smith for the able way in which he has trained the two clubs and the Quartette. This year, being handicapped, he has again turned out a well-balanced Glee Club, which came up to our old standard, and which rendered a well selected program. 01 ORGANIZATIONS r' ' H. E.

G. Smith embarked on a highly successful season. Everett Quinn, 1918, was chosen to manage the clubs, but shortly after the opening of the school year left college for service in the army. Homer Anderson, 1920, assistant manager then assumed the manager duties, which he performed in splendid style. Richard Mann, 1918, was reelected leader of the Glee Club, and Clare Hinckley, 1920, was chosen to pilot the Mandolin Club. The first concert of the year was given by the Glee Club at the Art Institute Benefit Bazaar, early last Fall. The Quartet made a trip to Great Lakes, Illinois, to sing for the jackics, and both clubs have performed at liberty loan meetings, and for various patriotic affairs. On the 6th of April, the clubs appeared at a tca-dansant at the Blackstone Hotel, given by North Shore Surgical Dressings Unit. On April 19th, the big event of the season—the stupendous magnificent and Home Concert was pulled off with unprecedented success. Both clubs performed in excellent style. The Glee Club sang rollicking and patriotic songs in their usual jovial manncr;pcoplc just could not sit still when that band began to play; the four coons made the audience howl; Marks and Broad were a scream; McCor- mack was clever, as usual; the Spaniards showed marked operatic ability; and the songs from the famous “Lucky Seventh” fittingly closed a delightful and varied program. The success of the clubs this year was due to the splendid support of a large number of Freshmen. To these men the management is duly grateful. A large number of these men will return next year, and we have every reason to expect a banner 1918 1919 season. 93 S3 S3 i o w o 2 N H O 2 w IY ZlNGHEIM Sedge wick Welsh O’Connor S3 Hinkley Thompson Strehlow ST ORGANIZATIONS Anderson Marx Berg m. c. a.

A. of Chicago. It aims to create and maintain a strong sentiment for higher morality among Armour students, and to provide a pleasant meeting place where they may develop their social nature and partake in wholesome recreation. It occupies two comfortably furnished rooms in Chapin Hall. These rooms contain a piano, a billiard table, magazines, and various indoor games. In these rooms meetings are held from time to time, where students are given the opportunity of hearing interesting and instructive talks on moral and religious topics. The Association has about seventy-five members. Membership entitles the holder to all of the privileges of the rooms at Armour, and to the house privileges and special priveleges at any Y. M. C. A. in the country. Members of this de- partment may obtain membership in any of the larger departments at materially reduced rates. The Association is supported by fees collected from its members, and by generous donations from the executive council of the Institute. The Y. M. C. A. takes the lead in fostering the proper spirit at Armour by dis- tributing an attractive hand-book on every registration day, and by holding the Freshman Handshake early in each school year. The Handbook contains helpful suggestions and valuable information for students. Z22 ORGANIZATIONS •i. • . . = ORGANIZATIONS )t Cycle, 1918 ; V William Mendius Robert H. Ren sen Raymond (). Joslyn J.

' 1 CONTRIBUTORS C. L. Gold E. H. Arnold A. S. LaZoris - The “manufacture” of the 1918 Cycle has been a hard task this year: in fact much harder than in former years, due to the present condition of war. The staff, beset by unusual difficulties, has tried hard to make this book what it should be—a treasure prized by every Armour man, as a remembrance of his school days. Our aim has been to depict all phases of school activities; to hold the interest of all, and in such a manner as to recall and fix in the minds of our faculty and student body the passing events of the year; to inform the Alumni of the achieve- ments of their Alma Mater; and to enlighten the outsiders as to our school ac- tivities. Therefore the staff will feel itself amply repaid for its work if the reader is satis- fied with this volume. We wish to express our appreciation, to the William Louis Koehne Studio; to the Rogers Printing Company; and to the Jahn Ollier KngravingCo., for their help and cooperation in making this book a success. To the Cycle Board, we wish to extend our hearty thanks for the pride and interest they have taken in the making of the Annual. To the following, The 1918 Cycle staff wishes to express its sincere appreciation for the interest they have shown and the encouragement they have given. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus Dean L. C. Monin Dean II. V. Raymond Mr. F. U. Smith Prof. G. L. Sciiercer Mrs. J. Beveridge Prof. W. K. Smart S2 ORGANIZATIONS If, in reading over these pages, the reader feels that there are various shortcomings, let him remember that this country is now in a state of war, in which we must all have a single aim—victory. To accomplish this we must all work in unison and observe one of our chief passwords “save”. The staff has tried to work towards this end, even at the expense of being severely criticised. Thus in accordance with the character of the times, one of our main policies has been, to save as much money as pos- sible in the cost of producing this book, and yet try to please, realizing that we cannot please everyone. Yc arc proud to say, that with the support of the student body, and with much encouragement and help from Dean Monin, Dean Raymond, Mrs. Beveridge, and Dr. Scherger, we have edited this Annual. no Y With the publication of the May issue of Vo!. X of the Armour Engineer, the first ten years will have elapsed since the founding of this first among all college technical publications. Begun under difficulties, it was only a short time before the Armour Engineer attained its present enviable position. With this rapid rise and phenomenal success in mind, the present staff took upon itself, the duty of furthering and strengthening the status of the journal. Upon review of the past year, the staff has come to a full realization of the co-operation which the Alumnis has extended the Armour Engineer. Not only has the support of the Armour Alumni As- sociation been entirely satisfactory, but the great majority of articles and editorials have been con- tributed by graduates of the school. This has the desirable tendency to keep the journal an Armour paper. The Alumni section, edited by the publication committee of the Alumni Association, serves as a means of communication among the graduates of the Institute. It is that part of the Armour Engineer Devoted to the Personal mention of the Graduates of the Armour Institute of Technology, and to the affairs of the Armour Alumni Association. A full measure of success has attended the issuance of Vol. X. A glance thru the four issues of this volume will reveal a scope of articles and editorials such as do credit to a journal of its kind. The articles cover many phases of engineering in both a specific and a general manner. The editorials have been in keeping with the times. They have served as a record of the war activities at the insti- tute; and they have been of a type and character which tend to advance the interests of the engineer and his profession. The books have been “newsy” and interesting, and yet of a very technical nature. A most fitting occasion has given rise to the deviation from the standard, which form was adopted with the first number in order that it might be easily recognized as that of the Armour Engineer. That of the May 1918 issue was adopted so that the first number containing an Honor Roll of the graduates and students of the Armour Institute might be a number somewhat apart from the others. The editors of vol. X desire to express their appreciation for the many valuable suggestions and con- tributions received from Dean .Monin, Dean Raymond and Mrs. Beveridge; and for the support and co-operation of the Armour Alumni Association.

Circus ©ap at Armour institute On the afternoon of May ioth, with Cycles under our arms we dashed across the street from the Mission into Ogden Field, and sought a sunny spot in the “bleachers” to view one of the most interesting of all Circus Days. The field filled up rapidly and we could see many an Armour “grad.,” come to see another Circus Day. The “Profs.”, were also there, and many of the fellows brought fair visitors with them. A lively band soon drew our attention to the various groups of fraternities. They marched through the gates into Ogden Field and did funny stunts that held the crowd in continuous laughter. Delta Tau Delta came clattering down the street representing Roman charioteers. They lined up at one end of the track and ran off a snappy chariot race, which netted them the first prize. Every war- rior looked his part as he sped down the track, drawn by his “war horses”. Phi Kappa Sigma with its representation of the famous painting of the drummer, fifer and flag carrier, was also very good. Sigma Kappa Delta was well represented by several small groups. A colored man drawn in his “one dawg shay,” made a hit with the crowd. The only thing lacking was a cat, and then the poor colored man would have been up against it. The policeman, with the “big head”, had a hard time keeping the crowd in order, especially when the bear tried to hug the fair sex, an act no Armour man will allow (anyone else to do). There was plenty of action in the moving picture camp that Beta Phi men represented; a western drama being photographed. A maiden was getting water, at a spring when she was captured by a band of Mexicans. The Americans made a dramatic entrance in motor cars and gave battle to the Mexicans, routing them, and res- cuing the fair maiden, who fell in love with the commander. The moustache contest was a very humorous and interesting affair. The contestants were primed for this affair after weeks of careful nourishment on their upper lips with every known hair tonic. They presented almost every mustache in captivity from short stubby blond ones, to long slender black ones. The judges, after a close inspection with a magnifying glass, transits, and vernier calipers awarded first prize, in the form of a pair of military hair brushes, to Harry Roberts and a bottle of hair tonic, as second prize, to Leonard Gordenicr. Something entirely new in a Circus Day performance was a boxing and wrest- ling match. Anderson and Windblad put up a fast and snappy bout, the referee finally declaring it a draw. Williams and Weber were the wrestlers, who showed us some real stuff. These contests were full of pep and held the interest of every spectator. SOCIAL 110 In the tug of war the whole school showed itself in action. The seniors pulled against the juniors. The former were forced to give way to superior numbers although they were liberally helped. The sophomores and freshmen were more evenly matched. The sophomores finally won out after a strenuous pull for ten minutes. The inter-fraternity relay race as usual, was an exciting feature of the day The Beta Phi team, consisting of Finkl, Erickson, Kerr and Mendius won a close- ly contested race with Omega Lambda at their heels. A handsome loving cup was the prize. One stunt that should not be forgotten was the peanut race. The men who took part had great difficulty in finding their peanuts, due to the fact that many students forgot to eat lunch at noon. As free lunch is very scarce now, they thought this a good opportunity to satisfy their craving appetites. And so evening came on, and we had to leave. Much credit must be given to Marshall Kerr, for staging such a successful circus. “tyje Hucfep debenti)” What a genuine pleasure Royal Chappell, Everett Quinn, and their brilliant confreres gave old Armour on the evening of May ninth. If Tech Days was “a distinct innovation”, the Lucky Seventh was a bomb placed under the hard beaten path of college dramatics. ‘‘Old stuff” disappeared in a cloud of dust, and left a bright, sparkling, and snappy hit. It has been many years since such exceptional character drawing, such flawless diction, and such magnificient en- semble delivery has been the result in performance by seekers of the B.S. The Quinn document itself, while a masterpiece, would fare hideously touched by less illuminating intelligences than those provided by the splendid company at the Central Music Hall that evening. Ralph Rusk and Harold Shotwell as Ruth and Blanche Morgan, won the hearts of the audience immediately. They subdued their voices to the feminine tone without perceptible exertion; and played true characterization throughout. The appearance of Everett Quinn as Jack Lane was greeted with hearty ap- plause from an appreciative audience. Richard Mann appeared as Bob Higgins, Jack’s chum. As a warbler Richard needs no introduction; his rendering of Watchful Waiting was characteristic of his usual good work. Donald Cable came forth as the Reverend John Frothingham. He ably presented himself as a real stage clergyman who decrees eternal punishment for those who take pleasure in syncopated movements of the feet, etc. to the rythmical accompaniment of a jazz. In spite of this his wife Martha, who is brought to us by the person of Allen Dryden, soon has him whirling with the merry-makers. Stanley Evans as John Morgan, Impresario, delivered his lines in good style, never boring his audience by an unfaithful imagination which persists in adding to a character qualities entirely extraneous. Edward Sheuer carried off the theatrical manager stunt as Tom O’Rourke. The fragile opportunities in the character he played gave Ed a chance to make good, and this he surely did. Lewis Twery brought to us the well known stage character, the English lord; this time it was Windbourne. Perhaps I must deduct from Twery’s success a three yard handicap, because part of what is often the make up, was Lewis’ personal property. In the musical numbers, with solists and chorus under the baton of Royal Chappell, the orchestra put on the touch of completion which made the work a brilliant contribution to stage literature. To our worthy playwrites we must present the silver cup for putting one over on an Armour audience. As weird strains of the Ukelele burst forth, and the alfalfa clad Hawaiian maidens tripped lightly among the players—in swept Helene Encore with her delightful and charming accomplishments. Immediately she wove a charm over an audience which was tumultuously receptive of her pleas- ant talents. When interviewed she said: “0, I think the Armour boys are simply wonderful in bringing out such a per- fect production, and to think they are all engineers; ordinarily such sober heads.” “Real intelligence,” she continued, “can be applied in most any direction as this evening’s work surely shows.” 113 tCI)e Jfresfiman ifianbsljafce “A friend in need is a friend indeed” and the Y. M. C. A. assumes the part of just such a friend to the new arrivals each year. The Freshman spends his first day at Armour by making a personal acquaintance with the dignitaries of the registrar’s, deans’ and comptrollers’ offices, in presenting the necessary credentials regarding scholastic and financial standing. He is then scheduled to grope about helplessly among the faculty (his natural enemies) and the upper classmen, whose particular duty, according to tradition, is to “get him”. And here our hero the “Y. M.” steps in, and at the earliest convenient date, almost before classes arc well under way, the annual freshmen Handshake is held, and the stranger is given to understand that he is one of us. The Handshake this year, held September 20th, was attended by about one hundred loyal and enthusiastic Armourites. The program was especially en- joyable. It consisted of a talk on “Patriotism” by President Gunsaulus; an analysis of what the Association stands for, by Professor Wilcox; and music by the Armour Institute quartet. H. W. Puschel, President of the Association, gave a short talk on the Association from the student’s standpoint, and H.H. Shotwell, following a custom long established and perpetuated by Professor Penn, told the freshmen of the significance of Tau Beta Pi. The program was supplemented by informal basket ball, billiards and other indoor games; swimming, music, refreshments; and many a yarn and quip well told. The Handshake is the one event of the year where the entire student body has an opportunity to get together for a good sociable time. The main purpose of the event is to give the freshmen an opportunity to gain the acquaintance of the upper classmen; and as the management of the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. always graciously donates the use of the club rooms for the occasion, it gives the boys an opportunity to sec what arc the advantages, moral, physical and social, of mem- bership in the Y. M. C. A.

I i 11. T7T SOCIAL ! V f Many references have been made throughout the pages of this book concerning the many changes brought about in the regular school activities, whether scholas- tic, athletic or social, due to war-time necessities. A consideration of the various developments of the war has no doubt brought very forcibly to our attention the countless engineering feats produced, many of which seemed to border on the impossible, but a short time ago. Since we must admit that the outcome of the struggle shall depend to a great extent upon the engineering genius presented by cither side, it is needless to say that A. I. T. has more than a passing interest in present day affairs. Throughout its history “Armour” has sought to place “first things first,” and to this end the curriculum of former years has always been filled with technical subjects sufficient to keep our boys “out of mischief”. The meager supply of athletics and “social engineering” were side lines indulged in by relatively few in a relatively small percentage of time (after working hours). The summer of 1917 brought a somewhat different point of view to school officials, faculty and student body alike. The country was at war. It needed men. It needed young men. It needed healthy, strong, lively intelligent men, and perhaps most of all it needed engineers. On Thirty-third and Federal Streets, Chicago, is located an Institution, which is operated for the express purpose of turning out just this sort of material. Now a diamond, though ever so costly, will fail to fulfill its proper function unless properly cut and polished to fit its setting, and likewise our boys though they might stand in first rank as engineering students, required the rudiments of military discipline, etc. to make them of value to that cause to which they were willingly devoted. Consequently in the Spring of 1917 it was agreed by officials and student body to temporarily abandon ath- letics and devote as much time as possible to military drill. Lieutenant Bolte, an Armour graduate of 1915, called “tension” to the first squad of recruits that presented itself at Ogden Field for drill. Hour after hour was spent in drill, first with small squads and finally with the whole school. Even the faculty came out, about 20 strong, and though it is said that at times the joints cracked and mus- cles ached, it was never stated that they were not “game”. -----e- 3 MILITARY Incidentally we are pleased to mention that Prof. Ladd and Prof. Gilbert arc now serving the colors, while Prof. Dean is engaged in army cantonment con- struction. The training continued throughout the remainder of the semester, and when Lieut. Bolte was ordered to another post, Sergeant Shea took charge of the drill During the present year provision has been made in the schedule whereby every student is obliged to take military drill one afternoon a week, during his first two years at college, and is then allowed to take as much more as may seem desirable. During the winter months, the boys have been confined to work in the gymnasium,a large part of which was in the nature of lecture and instruction work. Our military activities, however, have not been limited to drill, for the fact remains that A. I. T. is far better equipped to develop that part of the body ex- tending from the neck upward rather than from the neck down. Uncle Sam found one of his greatest needs in the supply of men to man his proposed merchant marine, which is scheduled to play such a vital part in defeating the purpose of the U boats. Again Armour filled the breech by turning out eleven classes in marine engineering, totaling 325 men, all of whom were men of experience in some branch of engineering. Prof. Huntley took these men in charge and under “in- tensive” training, for a period of four weeks, for each division, the men produced the goods. Again, from the “beginning of days” at A. I. T. we have always found some of the boys who were so-called “wireless-fiends”. The A. I. T. honor roll contains the names of some fifteen of these “fiends” who are now buzzing “Liberty or Death” from headquarters to trench and mast to mast. An evening class of 175 was organized in December under government supervision, for the men included in the draft. Prof. Wilcox took charge of this work, and with the efficient help of two of our boys, Messrs. Shotwell and.Mchrhoff who have long since passed from the stage of amateurism in this science, the men acquired suf- ficient training to give each a running start when the training camp was reached. “Shotty’s” work received such approval from Uncle Sam, that today he is teach- ing radio telegraphy at Harvard as a C. P. 0. of the Navy. A survey of the honor roll incomplete though it must be, indicates 2 “A” men serving as Majors, sixteen Captains, 32 First Lieutenants, forty-seven Second Lieutenants, seventeen Sergeants, eight Corporals, one hundred-twenty-five Privates, while thirty-one arc helping guard the stars and stripes on the water. Since “Armour” is found in almost everything really worth while, it is not sur- prising to note that twenty-four of our boys are giving their services in the vari- ous shipbuilding yards throughout the east, and we feel safe in saying that the In- stitute Faculty felt justly proud in sharing the commendation of Mr. Roberts in explaining the splendid showing of our boys at Quincy, Mass, last summer. Then last but not least, we find one line of “soldier-boys” at school whose present task consists of reporting to Washington once a month by mail, and main- taining a creditable scholastic standing. Here we refer to the engineer reserves. These men are expected to stay at school until graduation whereupon they become subject to call in the engineering corps of the army. The several activities of a military nature have been briefly summarized, saying nothing of countless minor affairs which every loyal citizen of U. S. gladly encounters every day. As we extend every good wish, and sinccrcst regard for the welfare of every true American heart, devotedly consecrated to a noble cause, we are assured that, as the time of testing comes to each individual, our boys may be “weighed in the balance” and not found “wanting”. MILITARY Trying to become an Engineer Officer in three months is a large contract for a civilian. The Civilian (you sec I now write from the detached view-point of an army-man) is more or less his own master, but from the minute he strikes the enrolling officer, he is assumed to know all of the many Army Regulations and to be governed accordingly. After going through considerable trouble in being examined physically due principally to having my first examination papers lost, I reported to the proper officer at Fort Sheridan and was assigned to the Illinois Engineer Company, but after about a week’s stay here I was transferred to the Wisconsin-Michigan Company, where I found about 15 Armour Men, among others Earl Smith, S. Mil- ler and later at Fort Leavenworth I ran across Prof. Gilbert in the Signal Corps. We were at Fort Sheridan for five weeks training as Infantry, as it seems that the Engineer Troops are considered to be able to do anything from the repair of roads, bridges etc., in an advance, to the destruction of all that will give aid to the enemy in the case of a retirement, and, when there is nothing else to do, why go right into the trenches and help out the Infantry. It was, from these many duties and from the talks of our officers, that we soon became known as the Suicide Club. Right at the start those of us who had been out of college for some time began having our troubles. Unaccustomed to regular study and to regular hours, we started in on a regular routine beginning at 5:15 a.m. and lasting up to 10:00 p.m. Most of what we had was hard to understand, and, try as we would it was impossible to read all of it even once, and the meaning only began to become even partially clear to most of us weeks after we were supposed to be masters of the Military Art. The work was good for us, tho unaccustomed to the marching drills, and conferences as we usually turned our study period into a series of combina- tions such as Earl Smith and I formed, whereby each was to see that the other was awake when the check of the barracks during study hour was made. The regular work was good for all of us and we throve amazingly. The most remark- able fact was the regularity with which we would appear on the steps of the mess hall at meals. It might be hard to get to formations on time, but meals never. Five weeks after entering Fort Sheridan we left for Fort Leavenworth to gain our Engineer experience. This trip was long and uncomfortable as we left Chi- cago a cool country and struck Kansas with its temperature of 100 degrees. At Fort Leavenworth we absorbed Kansas dust, heat and Military Engineering. We learned to dig trenches, repair and destroy bridges, make military topographi- cal maps, solve tactical problems and in fact try to learn all the many special engineering problems as they applied to the needs of an army. After eight weeks of Kansas summer, the Training Camp came to an end and Commissions and assignments were handed out. Many (about 25%) of the original Company had been dropped for various reasons but the Armour men all stuck to the last. About one-third of the company were ordered to Camp Custer to be with the Engineer Regiment of the National Army Division at that camp, and the balance of us were variously assigned to Regular Army Regiments sr:. 121 MILITARY in this country, the Phillipincs and Hawaii and the others were given detached duty at various places in this country and with the Expeditionary Forces. It fell to my lot to be sent to Hoboken, N. J., for work on the Staff of the Engi- neer Depot Officer. It is impossible on account of orders against giving military information to tell of the work here except the very general fact that it deals with the receiving, storing and shipping of all sorts of engineer supplies such as are found necessary to meet the needs of a modern warfare. My first work was in connection with one of the depots and then I was transferred to headquarters where I am now handling such Civilian Employees of the Engineer Corps as are passing through. It needs only a glance at the vast quantity of supplies which arc going forward for the Engineers alore, to realize that something serious is going on, and we of the Engineers think that it is being done efficiently. As a last word, I must say that the Armour men at the Training Camp, stood well in the final assignments. I believe that they drew more of the important assignments than their mere numbers would warrant. A. L. Ladd Captain, Engineers, R. C. Fi'aternit i es-J rl: .vC: Z' ‘ •v?

I say success because it, by far, surpassed any other inspection trip that we have had up to date. It served very nicely to brighten up a gloomy day and to divert our minds from the deep and drudged thot of laboratory work for that afternoon. After boarding a dark-town transportation bus at the corner of State and Thirty-third St. we ambled southward for about forty blocks and then we trans- ferred to a Hammond car which in it s southward route endeavors by every possible hook and crook to get one addled and confused in his directions. We rode this car with some difficulties and mental anguish to within a mile or two of the plant, and decided that it would be easiest to walk the rest of the way. We arrived at the gate of the Steel Co. at about one twenty, and found that we had to wait outside across the street from a BAR until our instructor arrived. lie got there at about a quarter of two and then we passed inside the gate to the door of the reception room where we had to wait another half hour until the guide got all details properly booked and signed, and then he went thru a formal review to his superior, of where he would lead us and the wonders he would reveal to us. Our guide was a very trustworthy appearing sort of an individual who would keep us out of any place where there was any danger, either physical or mental. He wore a star and a blue uniform which showed some age but very few spots. The one remarkable thing about this man was his speed; he took us thru the plant like some fellows go thru college; in at one door and out at another. He knew a lot but it was a hard job to find out what it was, in fact, we never did find out much of what he knew. He told us a few things tho, for instance, he told us that they had some Bessemer converters and Blast furnaces around there some- where. After counting us two or three times and having us check everything except our hats and coats, our guide started out a little short of a run and we followed, keeping in sight as much as possible. We went over a high bridge first which gave an excellent birds-eye view of the layout of the grounds and buildings. We passed several human trucks carrying some heavy material in buckets with a sort of a hod. Wo wound around for a while over scrap iron and twisted rails and finally dodged into a sort of a shed with a couple of boards swinging on hinges for a door. We were rather surprised when we got inside to see a good exhibition of water falls. The water was tumbling and splashing down over some massive machinery. I asked somebody what it was and what the machinery was for and they said that they thot it was a Rail mill but didn’t think that it was work- ing. I looked around and found that the guide and most of our crowd was gone so I endeavored to catch up again. The next thing that we got into was the one thing that brightened up the afternoon, in fact we were dazzled for quiet a while after we left and had to wear blue glasses while we were inside. In enter- ing we went up a very narrow stairway and into a side door (not the family en- trance) and into a very large room, with a high roof. There were a number of men working high above us and they were making tumultuous noises which, if for our benefit, should have been left out. After satisfying ourselves that nothing was going to hurt us from above we went on down the center of the room and in front of some large open hearth furnaces. These were built of brick and lined with dolomite. These furnaces were going at a white heat but the operation was mostly over. The liquid iron was in a boiling state and was being prepared for tapping. Some strong backed men were scooping in some sort of a flux which 170 ---- -a� ................ — Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago CAPITAL, SURPLUS AND PROFITS S35,000,000 Officers George M.

We were sort of awe stricken and in this con- dition we were nearly, run over by a charging; machine which is a very ingenious affair which picks up a car and dumps a whole carload of the charging material into t he furnace at a time. They are small cars, however, holding about a thousand pounds of material. They were charging with scrap steel while we were in there. While we were in there a chemist made an analysis of the steel for carbon. I say he was a chemist because he took a sample, cooled it down, cut in two, give it the once over, and reported .250% carbon. Of course I don’t know how near right he was but we took his word for it. From this place we walked down a beautiful little avenue past some small mountains or piles of raw iron ore, which was piled up near the water edge, and into another building. In this building the main thing to look out for was over- head cranes. They were frisking around to and fro and one never knew when he was going to be smacked up the side of the head with a brilliant red ingot. We weaved around and thru a conglomeration of machinery and past some soak- ing vats. In these vats were a number of large ingots being heated to a constant temperature, for rolling. Next we went over and watched the rollers work. These ingots were rolled out into long square bars about 6x6 inches and then cut up into about six foot lengths. The most interesting thing about this place was the machinery and the remarkable skill of the workmen in juggling those long bars which were carried along on rollers. Those workmen could steer a large bar thru a small hole every time. After looking this place over pretty well, we went to another rolling device. This time they were rolling the ingots out into sheets 'about three-quarters or an inch thick and about six feet wide. This operation was the same as the first except that they had a series of explosions for our benefit by throwing salt and water on the sheet and then running it thru the rollers. One peculiar feature of this building was that while we were there there was a continuous screaching of whistles; it kept us busy looking around for fear that something was going to run over us. W e passed on by where they were straightening the sheets and cutting them into the sizes that were wanted. From here we went into another building were they were also rolling out large ingots. This time they were being rolled out into narrow sheets and about two or three inches thick and were cut into lengths of about three feet. These sheets looked like a different material than that of the first sheets and the bars, but I never found out if it was different or not. These sheets were piled up about six in a pile and carried by a very cleverly built crane to a small car. From here we hurried on and went past several other buildings a few of which had the door open and we got a glance in, but could not determine what was inside. W e walked past one place where there were several stenographers in view but alas we were hurried on past. The first thing we knew, we were where we started and after getting our belongings, we bid adieu to our guide, called it a day, and started home. “Here’s a story of a motorman who sustained, six-thousand volts and still lives”. “Oh well, he was a non-conductor”.
