Twenty To Dean Monin Four years—even through daily contact, is this a sufficient length of time for one to learn fully to appre- ciate ones teacher, ones dean, one's leader? Truly a pupil rarely can be expected to see the entire value in such a man when the two minds have met only on very few occasions. It is only after years of reflection upon his teachings that we can hope to gain an insight into his real character. But in our Freshman year, the moment we first met the man, we felt his kindliness, his strength and his wish to aid all of us on our journeys. From that moment, we felt that our troubles were his and that we could abide by his counsel. Though we saw very little of him within the next year and a half, we felt his presence. In our Junior year he crept into our hearts; but it was only in our last year that we have been able to get a glimpse of the true dean. His optimism, his joy in living, his doubts, his fears, his questionings—he gave them all to us; we found that they were ours. So now we would leave him; but lo, it is he who leaves. Throughout the years of which we know very little except from hearsay, he has been teaching and guiding: and now he feels that it is time to go to his homeland, Switzerland; there to enjoy the remaining years of his life. We, the Alumni and Students who have experienced his friendship, regret this final parting. For thus it is to be. Here we go in diverse directions, possibly, never to meet again; but the memories—these we shall retain and they shall be our dearest treasures.

After the early arrivals have finished their game of billiards, the main event of the hour takes place. This event generally is staged under the able management of the politician from Machinery Hall with the co-operation of his able lieutenant from the fourth floor of the Main Building. The players (?) two in number are selected in the usual manner by drawing a numbered ball or “pill or rather accepting one offered to them by the bottle shaker—those having the highest and lowest number winning the opportunity to play. It will be observed that this procedure has possibilities. The numbers in the bottle range from one to twenty—sometimes. The necessity for the above qualification of what should be a simple, unvarying mathematical fact was brought about by a keen student of higher mathematics who happened to remember that on one day a count of all the balls in the bottle showed that only numbers from one to fifteen were present, whereas on the following day the winning number was sixteen. Hence the possibilities. It should be understood that, whereas one or both players might be interested in playing a game of billiards, such is not the plan of the manage- ment. With the line up for the lag,” a casual statement to the effect that a “gentlemen’s game is about to be played, is heard. With the opening shot a subject for general conversation is introduced in a somewhat subtle manner —the subject depending on the players. The topic may be one of many interesting ones: automobiles, fishing, hunting, radio, Moon Mullins. Andy and Min. the eighteenth amendment, capital and labor, local and state, national and international j olitics; the poor qualities of the cigars provided by the cigar committee; why there are no matches in the match boxes; who forgot to return the last issue of the Collier’s Weekly; or in a more meaning tone what the player, who had the largest score, meant by a statement (supposedly made on the previous day) in regard to the affiliations of the most touchy and caustic of observers. 1927 A- Thirty-two FACULTY If one of the first topics does not attract the attention of the players, one of the latter nature is sure to do so, and the game is on. Xot the billiard game, however—that is all off. The real game is baiting the players, and no one should venture to draw a “pill at the noon hour and assume a cue unless he is willing to stand the cross fire from the side lines. That often repeated statement. He who fights and runs away may live to fight another day,” has been changed by the management of the noon-day game to. He. who starts a fight and runs away, may hope to start once more another day.” And they do start on another day and they do run away again, or otherwise disappear from the zone of action by withdrawing within a shell of submissive silence. For quite frequently the hunters become the hunted. Particularly is this true on those occasions, when, the setting having lieen properly prepared, a verbal attack is directed at the principles of organized labor. The end of the battle is always the same. The management invariably beats a mumbled retreat, leaving the field to that courageous and witty descendant of the orig- inator of the diplomatic interrogation in regard to the publicity of a public fight. With the main event over, the process of addition as practiced by the Chinese laundrCman is renewed, while from the reading room comes the now audible fragments of the general conversation on those ever interesting topics of foreign travel, philosophy, literature, art and music. Through the doorway across the entrance hall is observed a thoughtful reader who in a preoccupied manner directs his gaze toward the origin of a staccato lecture on the subject, Why is a loop?” and knitting his eyebrows in questioning manner, readjusts his heavy eye-glass and arising slowly, walks into the billiard room to enjoy in peace the remainder of his story, not without, however, giving expression to the plural of a term sometimes applied to a small piece of hexagonal steel with a threaded hole in it. 'file noon-day hour is at an end and those who have duties of a more serious nature depart for office or class room or go into executive session in a quiet corner where matters of importance may be discussed in comfort without interfering with the enjoyment of a good cigar. 1927 Thirty-three .

Sloan With the completion of the Wacker Drive, the people of Chi- cago gained a great thoroughfare but lost a Great Builder. This man worked day and night to complete the beautiful two-level drive along the river. His efforts were well-rewarded for he saved the tax-payers $5(X).000 by com- pleting the $24.000.000 project last October, six months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, this great public - spirited engineer broke down his health and passed away after accomplishing the greatest achievement of his career. Hard work as well as hard rock figured prominently in the life of John Sloan. Although he had a college education, it was obtained some years after he had worked his way along in the world. His first job was with a railway supply manufacturer in Chicago. Subsequently he became paymaster for Nelson Morris. His interest in civic affairs took him to the City Hall from the Stockyards. There his first position was chief clerk of the special assessment department. Then the “wanderlust” seized him and for several years he mined in Arizona and Idaho. When Carter Harrison became mayor, he sent to Arizona for Mr. Sloan and made him Superintendent of the House of Correction and also of the John Worthy School, a home for wayward boys. The conditions at these institutions were substantially bettered during the seven years under Mr. Sloan’s direction. He built an incinerator at his own expense to demonstrate its advantages. His geological knowledge, obtained in the West, enabled him to uncover a good grade of stone on the city’s property. He developed this deposit and built a crushing plant which is still in operation. After his marriage to Miss Margaret Fredericks, of Chicago. Mr. Sloan filled some of the gaps in his earlier education by attending night school at the Armour Institute of Technology. He became interested in the Wisconsin Granite Company in 1905 and was its secretary and general manager until his death. Under his management this company has grown until it now occupies and operates fourteen quarries scat- tered from Wisconsin to Georgia and from New York to South Dakota. In 1923. former Mayor Dever persuaded Mr. Sloan again to enter public life as President of the Board of Ix cal Improvements. In this position Mr. Sloan became executive head of all the new street and bridge work and all of the improvements included in the great municipal undertaking known as the Greater Chicago Plan. Mr. Sloan’s engineering and operating experience coupled with his executive ability were a very valuable asset to our great city, and we join with the people of Chicago in their grieving over the loss of a Great Builder. Thirty-seven The Engineer’s “If” With apologies to Kipling. Robert Isham Randolph, M. W. S. E. I f you can swing an axe, or wield a brushhook, Or drive a stake, or drag a chain all day; If you can scribble “figgers” in a note book, Or shoot a range pole half a mile away; If you can sight a transit or a level, Or move a target up and down the rod; If you fear neither man nor devil. And know yourself and trust the living God. If you can wade a swamp or swim a river, Xor fear the deep, nor yet the dizzy heights; If you can stand the cold without a shiver And take the Higgin’s ink to bed o’ nights. If you can turn a thumb screw with your fingers When everydigit’s like a frozen thumb; If you can work as long as daylight lingers, And not complain, or think you’re going some. If you sight thru tropic heat’s refraction, Or toil all day beneath a blistering sun; If you can find a sort of satisfaction In knowing that you’ve got a job well done; If you can be an Eskimo and nigger And try to be a gentleman to boot; If you can use a “guessin’ ” stick to figger And know a coefficient from a root. If you can run a line where you are told. And make it stay somewhere on the map; If you can read your notes when they get cold, And know that contours mustn’t ever lap; If you can line a truss, or tap a rivet. Or make a surly foreman come across; If you can take an order, as well as give it. And not have secret pity for the boss. If you can climb a stool and not feel lowly, Xor have your head turned by a swivel chair; If you can reach your judgments slowly, And make your rulings always just and fair; If you can give yourself and all that is in you, And make the others give their best, too; I f you can handle men of brawn and sinew. And like the men and make ’em like you. too. If you can boast a college education. Or. if you’ve a sheep-skin, can forget; If you get a living wage for compensation, And give a little more than what you get; If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat them without favor, nor with fear; You’ll be a man and your own master. But, what is more, you’ll l)e an ENGINEER. CLASSES r -i « ■ V V'- CLASSES Class of 1927 During the period of Roman supremacy. Rome was considered the nucleus of all Civilization and Power. The pass-word of the day was “All paths lead to Rome.” And so in our day and generation all Educational paths lead from High school and Academy training to the higher institutions of learning. We. the Senior class, at one time were Freshmen coming to Armour as seekers of higher learning. The ideas of the fourth dimension evolved through high school exposure were soon forgotten. In the place of which were substituted the fundamentals of mathematics, chemistry, mechanics, and drawing. Included in the curriculum of the Freshman, but not required by the Dean's office as necessary credits for graduation, were such expressions as “The equation, it so is;” “Boil, filter and wash.” After two semesters of exposure to Armour Institute atmosphere, the under-classman is in most cases qualified as a Sophomore. And perhaps as a Sophomore a certain aloofness is noticeable. A contempt held for the Fresh- man gradually develops into open animosity, especially at noon hour in the lunchroom. The Sophomore is acquainted with “Free-body” diagrams; The answer is?,” “Always.” If so; why,” has become an intimate part of his vocabulary. As a Junior student, the ways and means of doing studies become more fixed and the time is used more efficiently. More time may be spent in pleasure; indoor sports, pinochle, bridge, et cetera. These arc a few of the attributes which blossom forth in full bloom in the Senior year. Time has improved the Freshman and added to his developments. Friend- ships have been formed to last through the years, no matter how long the interval between graduation and another meeting; or what distance of space may intervene, we shall forever remember the source from which has sprung such an ideal as this: “Surely from the Heaven drops light for youth, if youth will walk thereby.” —A good example of the original.

In our Freshman year we made a good showing in the Freshman-Sophomore track meet, and we won the annual sack rush. Then when the call came for the various varsity teams, many men from the class turned out and made the regular squad. With the coming of the Sophomore year we were more accustomed to our courses and became more interested in the various activities about school. Every varsity athletic team was composed partly of Sophomores. Our class basketball team was runner-up for the inter-class championship. We won the annual Freshman-Sophomore track meet by a very one-sided score. A thirty-one per cent leakage left us with a membership of one hundred and seventy. But numbers alone do not tell the whole story. To begin with, the Junior basketball team trounced the Sophomores in a game played at the Freshman handshake. This same team came through in the inter-class games and won the chompionship. As before, the Junior class was represented on every varsity team. Also, this class has men in every organization in school. The social activities of the class of 1928 have always been outstanding i,w w. « .e ft� -! � m11 i!va «Memories of all who attended. events of the year.

The probable team for the Sophomores would have been Samuelson, Jillson, Skaer, Tracy. This is the same team that won the event the year before, with the exception of Skaer. The inter-class basketball team came through in fine shape this year and won the inter-class championship. As usual there were many upsets in the tournament. When the first schedule was completed the results were as ex- pected—there was a triple tie, with the Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen all look- ing forward to a championship. In the play-off the Juniors won easily from the Seniors. Likewise the Freshmen trounced the Seniors. Now the battle was left to the Juniors and Freshmen. It is true that the Juniors with three years experience playing together had a slight advantage, but at the same time, the Freshmen were fighting hard. The final game brought a large crowd to the gym. Schommer and Krafft did the officiating. The game was very close and after the lead had been taken by each team several times, the experience of the Juniors began to tell and the final score was 21-19 in their favor. As is the custom, the class bought the winning team sweaters and numerals. Sixty-one The Class Two years ago the class of 1929 entered A. I. T. determined to give to Armour all we possessed schlosatically, athletically, and socially. Under the able leadership of Clarence Davis, we completed our first year with much to our credit. First, we contributed men to the basketball, track, and baseball squads, swimming, golf, tennis and wrestling teams; second, we trimmed the Sopho- mores in the Sophomore-Freshman class rush; third, we gave a dance that substantially increased the financial standing of the class. In September, 1926, the class returned. As we were more accustomed to our courses by this time, we immediately began to dig into our work; not because we had to, but Ijecause we realized more fully what we wanted and just what was expected of us. At the first class meeting we chose Cecil Larson for president and to him fell the responsibility of piloting us through our second year. Larson was our rush leader in the previous class rush and we knew his ability. The first big event which took place at the beginning of the semester was the Freshman Handshake. This time we did the welcoming. As is the custom on this night, the Sophomores meet the Juniors in basketball. Although the Juniors won, the game was very close. The next meeting of the classes of ’29 and '30 was on a cold October day. Here we showed just what one year's training will do. We won the annual Freshman-Sophomore track and field meet due to the excellent per- formance of our track men. The next mark we left on our trail was the Sophomore dance. Charles Lamb, as social chairman, is to be commended on the manner in which he put this dance over. We have now finished half of our course and as we look back and see what we have accomplished, we feel we may say with pride that we have given to Armour our best in all three divisions of school life—scholarship, athletics and society. -A physics quiz.

So a schedule was drawn-up, using a round-robin idea. This being the first year for some time in which inter-class baseball was to be played, it was not easy to pick the winners. However, it was expected that the Seniors would win the championship. But after play started, it was not so certain who would win. The Juniors were the weakest team and they were easily beaten by the other teams. The Sophomores were as easily whipped by the Seniors and Freshmen. Now the big game was to be between the Seniors and Freshmen. It looked as if the Seniors did not want to meet the Freshmen, but finally a date was arranged. Although the score was tied at the end of five innings, the Freshmen were really outplaying the Seniors. But since it began to rain so hard that it was impossible to play ball, the game was called. Although the teams never met to decide the championship, it is generally conceded that the? Freshmen were inter-class champions for 1925.

That feeling of thrill changed to awe under the scrutiny of the supposedly dignified upper classmen. Nevertheless, in the weeks that followed we acquired the system and were ready to push with the rest to bring Armour to the front. At our first meeting we were welcomed to the Institute by President Ray- mond who. in his diplomatic way, gave us some advice that most of us found to be very helpful. This assembly was closely followed by another in which the officers of the class were elected. The upper classmen evidently liked our crowd, and wanted to meet them early, for in the fore part of October the Freshman Handshake was held at Armour Mission. We were royally entertained by the various organizations and served with doughnuts and coffee. This little get-together meeting glad- ened our hearts and made us feel that we belonged to the Institute. After many weary hours spent in finding the root of an algebra equation and re-running the chemistry unknowns, we found ourselves confronted with the semester finals. The midnight kilowatt came to our rescue and the fatali- ties were few. In athletics we have shown ourselves to be among the leaders, despite our narrow defeat in the Freshman-Sophomore track and field meet. During this competition much new material was discovered and encouraged for varsity work. Our best showing was in the inter-class basketball games. In this we decisively defeated the Sophomores, vanquished the Seniors and lost to the Juniors by two points. Several men from the class were regulars on the basket- ball. baseball, and track squads. The Freshman dance, held April first in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel proved to be an affair where the entire crowd enjoyed themselves to the limit. The credit for putting this dance over belongs to Robert Butterworth and his associates. —The foundry, the point at which both metal and en- gineer are found in the embryo.

Professor John Joseph Schomnier announced that President W alter Dill Scott of Northwestern University had sent an invitation to Armour to attend the Northwestern-Indiana football game. The invitation stated that inasmuch as the merger of Northwestern University and Armour Institute was approaching, it was fitting and proper that the student bodies of the two great institutions should become acquainted with each other. The alumni of both schools had already banqueted together and all that was left, it seemed, was to introduce the undergraduates and faculties to each other. Such an introduction was by no means an easy task to arrange. President Scott solved the problem very easily by suggesting that the meeting place be at the new Northwestern Stadium, which was having the finishing touches applied to it at the time. What could be a more fitting place for students to meet than at the gridiron where pep, spirit and loyalty reign supreme ? Did we accept the invitation? The answer is obvious; the assembly was in an uproar, a new spirit was born, one which football alone can create. The reply to President Scott’s invitation was a subscription to 1.790 tickets a loyalty efficiency of over 100 per cent. The fiancee of the Senior, the sweet- heart of the Junior, the girl-friend of the Sophomore, and the parent of the Freshman made this efficiency possible. Two days before the game, which was played on October 16th. a great pep-meeting was held and the proj er spirit injected into our cheering by a Northwestern cheerleader who led us in “Go You Northwestern” and the yells and cheers used on the Evanston campus. Northwestern's wildcat yell was the most popular. The affair ended in a snake-dance in Ogden Field. 2S38 Then came Saturday and the big game. Northwestern occupied the East stand and Armour and Indiana shared the West. The Armour section was over 2.000 strong, having been swelled by the faculty and alumni who also attended. Northwestern didn’t have anything on the Armour crowd for it was effectively “co-educational” also. Armour cheered for Northwestern; Northwestern cheered for Armour; and then the two cheered in a common cause for “our team.” With such an inspiration, the team's defeat of Indiana was assured. It was not long before the gaily-colored balloons soared skyward indicating that Northwestern had crossed the Hoosier goal line for the first touchdown. At the half. Indiana proved to the fans that what it lacked in football it had in its band. They paraded in their military uniforms and red-lined capes, presenting spectacular formations as they marched and played. Baker, Gustafson and “Tiny” Lewis carried the “pig-skin ' for the Wild- cats and kept the crowd thrilled with their wonderful plunging, swirving, pivot- ing and open-field running. Indiana succeeded in providing a momentary thrill for the audience when one of their players broke loose and dashed 60 yards for the Northwestern goal. However, the ball was called back by the referee and Indiana penalized for being off-side on the play. Northwestern defeated Indiana decisively, but did not stop until it annexed the Big Ten Conference Championship, a deed of which we are all proud. We look forward with anticipation and hope that in the near future we will be able to attend all the games and possibly some of the other social functions. Northwestern won the game, but Armour triumphed also. We won the friendship and esteem of the Northwestern student body. Inter-Honorary Dance Committee Janies I). Green, Chairman John W.

That was one occasion that, though the atmosphere was super-saturated and due to the action of certain elements, precipitation was tak- ing place, everybody had a picnic just the same. Walter Eden and the Benson Redcoats dished out Red-coated melodies that were also Red Hot, and served as an incentive for hundreds of stair- worn feet to rejuvenate and the same number of brief case bent shoulders to straighten and allow their owners an evening of thorough enjoyment. The guests were also entertained by the talented dancing duo, Ruth and Ray, who demonstrated some of the latest dances and who. we hear, have caused many an ardent suitor to mirror-dance to the family “Vic” in order to remain the most- favored in the eyes of his lady love. “Say, Goofy—where didja park the bus?— Who’s the keen girl you’re with?—Let’s trade the next. — Gimme a Lucky.—Thanks.—Didja see Ruth and Ray?—Those programs were mighty nice, eh?—Oh—Oh!

The dance was very well attended by the student body and numerous friends, who were greatly impressed by the skillful and unassuming manner in which the committee conducted the affair.

It was held Saturday evening, May 14th, at the Opera Club, and proved an appropriate '‘finis” for Junior Week. Jack Chapman and his band furnished the music, and his soothing melodies, blending -per- fecti} with the softly-lighted Xcopolitan decora- tions of the ballroom, presented a beautiful set- ting for the occasion. Mr. C. A. Gustafson, president of the Junior Class, and Miss Helene Seibold, led the Grand March, during which favors were distributed. Besides being the only school formal of the year, it also proved the first of its kind for many of the under-classmen, upon whose names the “Bid Committee” had looked favorably, and upon whom, it is hoped, a lasting impression of its beauty and grandeur has been made. The thanks of the student body arc extended to the Prom Committee and their helpers for such a successful and enjoyable affair. liifjhly-six 13S112S CIRCUS DAY Junior Marshal Robert E.

Schroeder..........................Vice-President R. P. Petersen................................Secretary H. George ....................................Treasurer Professor G. F. Gebhardt................Pacuity Advisor It was the beginning of an eventful year for the Armour Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers when an assembly of almost fifty students gathered in Science Hall for the initial meeting. Mr. Figenbaum, the president, introduced our well known Professors Gebhardt. Peebles, Roesch and Huntly, who extended some advice as to the “whys and wherefores” of an A. S. M. E. branch to the new members. Much stress was laid on the fact that students must learn to express their thoughts. It is a well-known fact that mechanical engineers are doers of big things, but they also should be the type of men who are popular with the rest of the world. The purpose of the society is to have as many student speakers as possible. However, owing to a capacity program, there was not sufficient time for many student speakers. Mr. J. C. Segeler, a senior, spoke before the society and gave a very interesting and well-presented talk on boiler efficiencies. “Somewhere beneath the stars is work which you alone were meant to do. Never rest until you have found it.” Dr. John A. Brashcar, Past-President of the Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers, devoted his en- tire life to perfect astronomical instruments and lenses so that he might disclose the serene beauties and mys- tical phenomena of the heavens to his fellow men. The late Doctor was an expert mechanician and his early inventions were made in his spare time which Dr. J. A. Brash ear he gave (0 his hobby. Today, we find that his instru- ments dominate the majority of the observatories of the world. He found his work and did it well. Ninety ENGINEERING SOCIETIES A. S. M. E. The society was fortunate in having two of the professors speak to them during the course of the year. They were Professors Winston and Peebles. On December 2, a joint meeting was held with the V. S. E. Mr. F. E. Morrow, president of that society, spoke on “Terminal Unification.” Mr. Hugo Diemer, the president of the Chicago Branch of the A. S. M. E., was invited to come and speak before the society. He accepted and on January 20 delivered his address to the pleasure of the members. His topic was a general one and covered many interesting phases of engineering. The boys were all proud and glad to hear him. Among the other big events of the year were: an inspection visit to the Allis-Chalmers Plant in Milwaukee; a smoker; and a student branch conference at New York. During the power conference held in Chicago. February 15 to 18, we spent several interesting and instructive days down at the Coliseum. With these and a few minor events in mind beside the regular business meetings, the society closes its annual period. ■n Peterson, Schesch. Bueter, Frank. Knapp, Knke, Rhode. Kfner.

Secretary Treasurer faculty Advisor The Armour Branch of the A. I. E. E. was, as usual, the leading society at the Institute. The membership which is composed of the Junior and Senior Electricals boasts a 100% efficiency. The purpose of the society is to promote interest among its members along electrical lines and to give them an insight into the practical side of the pro- fession. In order to accomplish this, the officers arranged to have men of prominence speak to the branch. The first speaker to appear before the society was Mr. C. E. Tweedle, B.S. in E.E. ’25, and his subject was Engineering and Foreign Trade. Mr. Tweedlt studied Foreign Commerce at the U. of C. and along with his ex- perience in the field was able to give us a true picture of conditions as they actually exist. over telephone lines by the introduction of suitable inductances at pre-deter- means of very high-frequency sound waves sent out by a panel of vibrating quarts plates. Dr. Michael fdvorsky Pupin. Past-President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, to- gether with the late Professor P. P. Crocker founded the Electrical Engineering Department at Columbia University in 1889. Doctor Pupin is still with the University and is now Professor of Electro-Mechanics and Director of the Phoenix Research Laboratory of the same university. Dr. M. I. Pupin He has made many very important contributions to the electrical world. Some of the most widely known ere: circuits of variable inductance and capacity for selectivity in tuning, a rapid method of X-ray photog- raphy, improvement of the efficiency of transmission mined distances, the Pupin toroidal coil, and the detection of submarines by Ninety-two ENGINEERING SOCIETIES A. I. E. E. In December, at a Joint Meeting with the Western Society of Engineers, Mr. Morrow, president of the V. S. E.. gave a very instructive talk on ‘ ‘ Terminal Unification. ” Probably the most interesting to most of us, was the talk by Mr. M. B. I ong of the Bell Laboratories. He spoke on the problems of the Bell Company in the development of communication service and outlined their method of attack. Some very educational slides were exhibited in conjunction with this lecture which ended with a short discussion on the Photo Electric Cell which � s playing such a prominent part in the news pictorial service of today. At some of the meetings, student members of the organization spoke on various subjects with which they had fortunately been intimate. This angle of the society provides a very instructive opportunity for the student to avail himself of the tricks of public speaking. Socially, the Armour Branch is very much alive. The Senior Smoker given in the Fall was a very enjoyable event. Besides the A. I. E. E. “Get- together” Banquet and the big Dinner-Dance given by the Chicago Branch and attended by the Armour Section, a Junior Smoker was staged in Spring to “wind-up” the social events. The officers and members of the society wish to extend their sincere thanks to the Professors of the Electrical Engineering Department in apprecia- tion of the service they rendered them in carrying out a most successful program.

Wells.....................Faculty Advisor Last summer, I chanced to be in a little town in the central pari of this state. The weather was hot. Those who were on the streets were in a hurry to get to any protecting shade, and those who were in the shade were reluctant to bestir themselves, much less to leave the shelter. Any evidence of energy being expended was cause enough for comment. There is little wonder that my attention was attracted by the efforts of two young men engaged in the trying task of coaxing a decrepit excuse for an automobile, with two fiat tires, into town. They succeeded. That is to say that the car bumped along the road to the centre of the town where the engine died a most violent death, accom- panied with the explosion of another tire. The occupants of the car disengaged themselves from the equipage and began their search for assistance. My mildly aroused curiosity was heightened when, upon careful scrutiny necessitated by a heavy covering of dust and grime, I discovered that these two were members of last year's senior civil class. Dr. John F. Stevens, President of the American Society of Civil Engineers, has received many honors from his fellow engineers and also from various gov- ernments. In 1889, Dr. Stevens entered the service of the Great Northern Railroad as locating engineer in the Rockies, and later as a construction engineer. In this capacity he came into the limelight as a great Railroad Builder, hi 1903, he was made Chief Engi- neer of the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Ry., becoming Second Vice-President the foil main g year. He was appointed to the staff of Chief Engineers of the Panama Canal in 1905. Since this time he has been president of several railroads, chairman of the railway engineers sent to Siberia by the U. S. to increase the efficiency of the 5,500 miles of road stretching from Kola Bay to Vladivostok, and finally has entered into private consulting practice. Dr. Stevens’ record of engineering work is one that should be a source of inspiration to all engineering students. While only the facts of his various works are given, if we were to delve deeper into the story of each we would find drama, showing the struggle of man to control the forces of nature, with man finally emerging victoriously.

Again, I was at my home, engaged in handy work about the premises until the Kail session should open and turn my attentions to my studies, when one afternoon I noticed a group of three men engaged, nearby, in examining a shallow hole in the ground. So intent in their observations were they, that I approached them unnoticed. As I had already surmised, they were surveyors; and one of them was a former member of our Civil department. And we find, especially so by virtue of our chosen profession, that we are here today and there tomorrow. We are expected and required to meet any set of conditions wherever fate decrees, and must govern our activities in order that a predetermined effect may be produced. In the final analysis, the measure of success of the Western Society of Engineers will be determined, not by the number nor quality of our smokers, speakers, and general meetings, but rather by the thoroughness with which they enable us to meet and master these unforseen conditions, and produce tiiese predetermined effects. The work of the year was planned with the idea in mind that speakers should give more which will enable us to more success- fully meet post graduate conditions: that smokers would bring about a closer bond of professional relationship between the individuals: and that general meetings would stimulate our interest in our field of work. The mechanics of the work of the Western Society of Engineers for this year are successfully completed, 'fen years from now. bv inquiring of each of those who took part in the work of this year, we will be able to determine whether or not the actual results of our efforts were successful. a Sadllek.

Johnson..............................Vice-President George C. Dufour..................................Secretary Thomas I . Camp...................................Treasurer James J. Doiieny, Jr..........Chairman, Program Committee The Chicago district has within its bounds a number of exceptional men in the field of chemistry, both pure and applied, and Beta Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has been fortunate in listening to a representative group of these men during the last year. The officers of the society have worked hard in preparing such an ambitious program, but any effort expended has been amply repaid by the enthusiastic interest shown in the meetings by the members and the under-classmen. One of the most interesting meetings was the Departmental Meeting in November. The topics, “What is Chemical Engineering?” and “The Nature of the Chemical Engineering Course,” were ably discussed from the view- point of the faculty by Professors McCormack, Freud and Tibbals, and from the viewpoint of the student by several seniors. Messrs. Morgan, Parkhurst and Camp. Dr. Theodore William Richards, Director of Wol- cott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory of Harvard Univer- sity, is a theoretical chemist of note. What could be a greater inspiration to the student of chemistry than the following quotation by Dr. Richards? All organic life is actuated by chemical energy, and exists in a mechanism and environment composed of chemical substances; and the effort to understand these essential conditions of human existence consti- tutes one of the most important objects of human endeavor. Patient study of the fundamental laws of I)k. T. W.

I. Ck. E. Two Smokers and a banquet comprised the social affairs of the year. The first Smoker was held at the Phi Pi Phi House early in January. The list of speakers during the year includes: Dr. Y. Lee Lewis, Research Director of the Institute of American Meat Packers, who spoke on ‘‘Lewisite” under the title of “The Organic Chemist at Work.” Dr. E. H. Volwiler, Chief Chemist of the Abbott Laboratories: “The Chemical Side of Medicinals.” Mr. D. K.

The Fire Protection Engineering Society has no misgivings in this task; it has well fulfilled the purpose for which it was conceived. One of the avowed purposes of the society is to bring before the student body of the Fire Protection Engineering Department speakers who are promi- nent men in the insurance and fire protection fields. 'Phis has been accomplished principally through the efforts of Professor Finnegan to whom we are, there- fore. greatly indebted. Outstanding among those who spoke during the year are Wellington R. Townely, Chief Seyferlich of the Chicago Fire Department, C. A. Rich, Manager of the Underwriters’ Adjustment Company, and E. L. Donovan of the Arson Department of the National Board of Fire Under- writers. All of the speakers, experts in their particular fields, gave interesting sidelights on their subjects. Mr. George IV. Booth, Chief Engineer of the Na- tional Board of Eire Underwriters' Committee on Eire Prevention and Engineering Standards, is a nationally known specialist in the field of fire prevention and fire protection. After six years surveying and reporting on fire protection facilities of the various cities, Mr. Booth zvas made Chief Engineer in charge of this zvork, which has to do with every phase of fire hazard encountered in municipalities, including structural conditions, build- ing lazes, zoater supply, fire department personnel equip- Gforge W Booth aU( °Pcratl0ll signalling systems, topographical factors and wind velocities. Mr. Booth is a member of the National Eire Protection Association, Insur- ance Society of New York, American and Nezv England I Voter ll’orks Asso- ciations, and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

A smoker held at the Theta Xi Fraternity House on December 8 aided in the accomplishment of this purpose. Student and professor being on a common level on this occasion. The former was placed in a position where he might tell the latter just how badly he conducts his classes and how he might improve them by being called out of town more often or by tempering his voice so as not to disturb those who wish to sleep. Strange to say, there is no record of any student having availed himself of the opportunity. The smoker performed a secondary function, which might otherwise have fallen upon the Salvation Army, by providing a crowd of hungry “Fire Pro- tects” with smokes and a square meal, thereby assuring the continued existence of the department.

Reed, Jr.................Faculty Advisor “Frosh Whittle!” was the stern command and straightway fifty-nine eager freshmen turned Huckleberry Finns and jack-knifed dozens of sturdy paddles into shape. Regardless of what they thought or contemplated; if at all, this was the first step in preparation for the association’s great gala-day. Massicr Yeretsky and his staff then held a pep meeting and divided the new men into seven teams and told them how eager the upper classmen were to see them perform in original and silly “vod-vil”; and in case their acts occasioned dis- pleasure or became droll, it would go very, very hard with them; in fact, the thing was to be a competitive affair and at least one team must be sacrificed to suffer for the entertainment of the older men. All this, together with earnest- practice. caused great excitement. The Juniors, meanwhile, took care of ar- rangements proj er; engaging the banquet hall, musicians, speakers, etc., so everything was all set for the Day. The afternoon of the Day was spent playfully in the loop; everyone en- joyed himself, including thousands of bystanders, for it most certainly was a sight to see the first year men romp around. They gave swimming lessons, sold things, passed out bricks to bank presidents, fished from safety islands on Boul Mich, directed traffic (wrongly) and what not. Added to this there was plenty of paddle play. Inside, up in the department at the Art Institute, a great arena was made; pictures were taken down and a stage set up and scenery allotcd. Way back in a little corner were nine quiet freshmen grouped around a big bucket of clay. It was a veritable marble factory for here they were busily rolling out hun- dreds of clay marbles, and why?—Wait and see. Col. John A. Holahird, of the well-known firm of Holabird and Roche, is one of the nationally prominent architects of Chicago. He attended the United States Military Academy, graduating with the Class of 1907, as a Second Lieutenant in the Engineers Corps. In 1913 he took the Ecole Des Beaux Arts. It has been said by many authorities on modern architecture that Col. Holabird practices a type known as “Chicago Architecture.” By this, they mean that the works of this firm pertain to their purpose without deviation. For example, in the design of an office building, the creation is made simple, carries a look of commerce and business, and is efficient in its service. Some of the later works of Col. Holabird arc the Grant Park Stadium, the Methodist Temple Building, and the Stevens Hotel. Col. J. A. Holabird One Hundred ENGINEERING SOCIETIES The feature act was an egg act. Several dozen eggs were brought out and members of the performing team tried what Columbus did and also juggled eggs on pencil points, etc.; all this was very unsuccessful, so finally in disgust the actors threw the eggs at the audience (faculty included). This caused a momentary panic, but don’t get excited—the eggs had been previously blown out and no damage was done. Suddenly, everyone realized his hunger and the fact that it was time for dinner. The men (120 in all) were seated to a delicious dinner which they enjoyed to the tunes played by Armour’s own “Stresses and Strains’’ orchestra. Everything was joviality; the guests and faculty mingled and talked. The last course served. Professor Reed gave a short talk and introduced Mr. H. P� . Wheelock, President of the American Institute of Architects, a genial and digni- fied gentleman. His talk was full of good counsel and also interesting experi- ences of his career. Each experience illustrated some commandment that a young architect should know. He especially stressed business courtesy. He praised the advantages of the present day student and inspired confidence. His bits of humor trimmed well the more serious phases. Next our own Professor Henry Penn was introduced. He was not so much a guest as he was one of us. At last, we had the chance to show him the honor and esteem that was so unanimously evident. His address was savored with jokes and excellent ad- vice. He struck well the remaining points which were left because of lack of time, and between the two speakers the evening’s address was complete and well rounded. Adjournment followed, but the boys were too happy to go home so the scene shifted to a well-known theater at the corner of State and Congress Streets. The entire gallery was spotted with architectural students who were out for fun. The bouncer, who was some “husky egg.” was kept plenty busy.

Wilcox...................Faculty Advisor Although the Armour Radio Association has had a rather limited number of speakers, the members of the association feel that the past year has been a successful one and worthy of passing into its history. We are thankful to Professor Wilcox, Mr. Pfeiler. and Mr. Dudley for their interesting and edu- cational lectures. The discussion resulting from their talks was very instruc- tive and beneficial. The activity and achievement of our Chief Operator, Mr. Pfeiler, have made it a banner year for the Institute’s amateur station, 9 XV. Although the actual number of operating hours has been slightly less, the communications established have been more reliable than before. Reports of the station’s signals describe them as being very steady and of good tone. This is a worthy accom- plishment for short-wave transmission. Dr. Lee De Forest, “The Father of Radio Broad- casting” is an American inventor of note. He has taken out over 160 United States and foreign patents of which the bulk in recent years have applied to the vacuum tube. It is interesting to recall that Dr. Dc Forest discovered the principles underlying the oscil- lating audion or three-electrode vacuum tube while he was studying at Armour Institute. Later, he invented the four-electrode vacuum tube and the audion ampli- fier which has made long distance telephony possible. Since 1921, the Doctor has devoted his en'ire time to the development of the Phonofilm talking motion pictures, which are sound leaves photographed on the moving picture film with the picture. He is now President of the Dc Forest Phonofilm Corporation. One Hundred Two ENGINEERING SOCIETIES A. R. A. Over 500 messages were handled during the 1926 27 period; the station taking part in the relay network of the A. R. R. L. 9 XV besides l eing selected as an Official Relay Station, was made a member of the Rag Chewers’ Club signifying its willingness to carry on friendly conversations and characteriz- ing it as a good fellow” among amateur radio stations. Two way communications were established with both coasts, ships at sea, Mexico, the Antegria Islands, and Australia. Very little night operating was done, nevertheless, our signals were reported from all over the world. This DX work was accomplished with a 10 meter transmitter, using the third harmonic of the antenna system in the rear of Chapin Mall. The Coupled Hartley Circuit used employs one 250 watt Oscillator Tube with a 750 watt input. The antenna was down several times during the year, but temporary provisions were made and communication was uninterrupted. For tests and experimenting, an 80 meter transmitted was constructed using two 250 watt tubes, one as an oscillator and the other as a modulator. This set covered very good distances. A 20 meter set is now in the process of construction. The station is open most of the day and visitors are always welcome to see the shack” and meet the operators. Instruction is given to any who wish to learn to operate. The student body is urged to get acquainted with their station and to take advantage of the opportunity to send radiograms to any part of the world via amateur radio. Bigelow. Dudley, Resleln. Blair.

One Hundred Three ENGINEERING SOCIETIES A Comment on Student Engineering Societies In the past, the successful engi- neer in the field regarded the young engineer just out of college as a future competitor and did all in his power to keep him from advancing, fearing that the young man might acquire his position. This view- point was a very narrow-minded one. but nevertheless it was preva- lent. Recently, a new school of thought has been born to the engi- neering profession. The modern engineer realizes that the future of the world’s progress along engi- neering lines depends, not so much upon what he accomplishes during his career, but u| on whether, when he is ready to retire, there will be a young engineer capable of taking up the task where he has left off. The engineering society is the beacon for this new-born thought. Its chief puri ose in the future will be to acquaint the student and young engineer with the older engi- neer. so that when the time comes, Mr F E Morrow they will be able to carry on the work wisely and more efficiently. Therefore, let this be a plea to the student in engineering to keep this modern thought from being in vain by attending all the functions of his society. The outstanding event of the year, which showed that the engineers are in favor of this germ-idea, was the American Institute of Electrical Engineers “Get-Together” Banquet held at the Palmer House and sponsored by the Chicago Branch. The local student sections were invited and a most enjoyable evening spent with the big men of the engineering world. The toast-master of the banquet said that its success, which was acclaimed by all. warranted making the affair an annual event. Mr. I '. E. Morrow. President of the Western Society of Engineers, is one of the pioneers in the “Get-Together tendency of the main and student branches of the engineering societies. In view of this fact, we have requested Mr. Morrow to give us what he believes the liest advice in regard to attaining a successful career. “Health is the cornerstone of all success. Without it a person is bankrupt. “Many persons fail of accomplishment by a hairsbreadth because they stop just short of final success. They are like unto a farmer who would sow and cultivate his crop, but who, when the harvest time arrived, would turn aside to some other task.” “Courage and Faith arc essential qualities in a successful career. Courage stimulates the faltering step when the going is rough and hard. Faith lights the pathway when darkness and gloom dim the vision and it is the pilot light through the wilderness of difficulties. Without these two qualities. Columbus would never have discovered the New World. One Hundred Four Athenian Club “Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.” The history of the origin of every fraternal organization is essentially the same. It is an old story of a group of friends who, having found satisfaction in their mutual association, wish to put their friendship on a more solid and enduring basis. They form a club; and, if their standards are neither too high nor too low they are a truly congenial group, they acquire more friends and their group grows and prospers. Similar to this has been the history of the Athenian Club. Founded in February of 1925 by a group of eight men, the club rapidly acquired new mem- bers and grew in strength until, having survived that period of incipiency which tests whether a new organization shall die or thrive, it l ecame firmly established among the fraternal organizations of the school. Now, with the class being graduated this year, departs the remainder of those original eight men who first formed the club. They leave regretfully, but with the assurance that the offspring in whose behalf they have expended so much time and energy will continue to live and will strive to fulfill their fondest hopes of achievement. The rapid growth of the club has involved an immense amount of work and has. therefore, somewhat limited its social activities. The problem of furnishing and otherwise putting into a habitable condition the club house, newly acquired last fall, has alone drawn heavily u| on the leisure of the mem- bers. Nevertheless, there were held at intervals throughout the year a number of thoroughly enjoyable functions in the form of smokers, dinners, and theater parties. The crowning event of the year was the pre-initiation part}' given for the pledges, prompted in divers ways by the actives, proved capable of producing very amusing entertainment. All those present, in fact, were impressed that even an uninspired freshman can be entertaining when he feels that it is really necessary. Promising, in prospect, to be equally successful is the party which the undergraduate members arc planning to give in honor of their graduating brothers. This event will come in the late spring as a culmination to the club's activities for the year. The Athenian Club takes this opportunity to wish success in whatever they might attempt to those who are being graduated and those, who for other reasons, will not return to Armour next fall; to those whose fortune it will be to continue their course at Armour, the club wishes a pleasant and prosper- ous summer.

Youngberg Joseph Janota With the forming of the Flask and Beaker during the first semester, a new club took its place among the campus organizations. Several years ago, a similar organization was planned, but conditions at the time were not favor- able. and action was postponed. The club has thus existed on paper for some time, but not until this year has it been brought to the attention of the school as a whole. Flask and Beaker fills a definite need in the life of the chemical student at Armour Tech. Its purpose is twofold: to sponsor professional contact and ideals in the field of chemistry and to promote friendship and good fellowship among the students of the chemical department. The club met informally twice a week during the greater part of the year, which was not too often to require slighting of other interests, yet often enough to accomplish its purpose. Social evenings were also enjoyed at inter- vals during the year. There is every reason to believe that the organization will continue to grow and function in the future.

One Hundred Nine 7vC7 T y Tt - TT- Press Club The Press Club, the Publications, and Sphinx are three separate and dis- tinct organizations. However, they all have one common interest, namely the promotion of literary and journalistic activities at Armour. The result is that the scope of one overlaps the scope of the other, and no one would be as effective were it not for the proper functioning of the others. With this in view, it is difficult to determine the relative importance of the three groups, but in any event, it is safe to say that the Press Club con- stitutes a factor comparable to that of either of the other two. It is in the Press Club that the raw material is discovered. Its meetings are open to any, and all, and it is here that the indifferent or mildly interested are shown the attractiveness of publication work which makes them invaluable as future staff workers. In conjunction with the regular business meetings, it has been the policy of the present administration to present speakers. These have been Armour Alumni who are now engaged in some form of publication work, and who. in the most part, were actively interested in publication work at Armour when they were undergraduates. Mr. Ralph S. Kenrick, ’22, is now assistant editor of Railway Age, and was our first speaker this year. He spoke on phases of editorial work as con- nected with a trade journal. Up until recently, he has supplied the Armour Engineer with alumni personals. Mr. Harold W. Munday. ’23. spoke on the opportunities oj en to the tech- nically-trained man in the publication field. As editor of Pit and Quarry Magazine, his information was first hand and in every way pointed to the value of the work of the Press Club. In order to enlarge the field of information, we considered the subject of advertising as connected with publications. Mr. Leo Henry Rosenl crg. ’17, covered this topic. His connection with the advertising agency of Thomas F. Logan, Inc., made information available which was of especial interest to us. The direction of the Press Club is being left to those who follow, with an established record. The importance of the organization as related to the publications, although never doubted, has been proven by its past activities. And, by these same activities, it has obtained a position of considerable prestige among the various organizations. It is our desire that the next year may pro- vide further development for this organization. One Hundred Ten CLUBS Press Club Officers YVm. W.

One Hundred Eleven Armour Teck Fellowship Club The Armour Tech Fellowship Club has been organized to satisfy a great need at Armour. It is a campus club designed to afford book-weary students a place to spend a few moments of recreation, as well as to provide an addi- tional place to study. It is intended to promote mutual acquaintanceship and good fellowship among the students. The organization was founded to succeed the Armour Branch V. M. C. A. and has incorporated the work of that older association as a part of its annual program of activities. The club was born on December 3rd when its con- stitution was officially accepted by the charter members. Since then, the mem- bers have been busily engaged in acquiring new club room furnishings, and in planning greater and more numerous activities. On January 14th, the new officers for the year 1927 were elected, and on January 28th they were offi- cially installed at a joint meeting of the members and the Board of Management. The Freshman Handshake was held on October 6th. The program was prepared jointly by the old Y. M. C. A. and by the social fraternities, the latter acting thru the inter-fraternity council. Mr. Wilton F. Kuffel, of the inter- fraternity council, arranged with Mr. L. O. Castle to provide for the music of the program; the Y. M. C. A. provided for the other entertainment and the refreshments. The program was started at 8 p. m. in the Assembly Hall. About 350 students and members of the faculty were present. Dr. Raymond was called upon to speak a few words to the assembly. He gave a very excellent talk on character building of the student. He was followed on the program by- Mr. Frank Pischke, of the senior class, who favored us with a dramatic presentation called The Murderer’s Confession.” Mr. P. C. Foster, assistant to the President of the Central Y. M. C. A., was the next speaker on the program. He spoke of the place of the Y. M. C. A. in the college, explained the ideals for which it stands and the things which it should strive to promote, and pointed out the things that the student should acquire from his college training besides just a mere knowledge of scientific facts. Our four piece novelty orchestra furnished by the fraternities next played some popular dance selections and concluded with the Fight Song. The assembly then adjourned to the basement of the Mission where dough- nuts and coffee were served. Thirty minutes of real handshaking followed. The crowd then assembled in the gymnasium where Mr. Fred Payne arranged for a basketball game which was played between the Sophomores and the Juniors. The club members look forward toward a very happy and prosperous year under the able guidance of Mr. Wittgren, and extend a cordial invitation to non-members to visit them and become better acquainted.

CLUBS Armour Tech Musical Clubs This organization has in part and within certain limits, accomplished the task it set itself at the beginning of the last school year. That task, briefly, was to create a more universal and a more intense interest in music and the various musical organizations at Armour; and to put the name of our Alma Mater on the musical map, so to speak, of college life. The first part of this undertaking has been accomplished with a higher degree of success than even the most optimistic had hoped for. The first step, of course, was to get the Clubs before the student body. To this end, a series of concerts was planned and presented. After each concert, a growing interest was exhibited in the work of the Musical Clubs. Memberships in the various organizations increased and it no longer became necessary to constantly adjure delinquents with regard to attending rehearsals. The student body gradually realized that to belong to one of the musical clubs was an honor, and not a gym credit as it had so long been regarded. The second step taken to incite public and individual interest was the founding of a musical Honorary Fraternity, to be known as Pi Nu Epsilon. Hitherto the engineers, the literary aspirants and the artists had all had their honorary organizations to inspire interest and energy in their particular non- curricula interests. However, the musically inclined have had no such inspira- tion. The founding of Pi Nu Epsilon has, we feel, filled this need. It has provided an objective and an incentive toward which the members of the Musical Clubs may strive. The placing of the A. T. M. C. before a ‘'foreign” public has not been completely successful, although many outside concerts were given. We feel that there will be time enough to accomplish this after we are well established on our own ground. However, the Musical Clubs look forward to the coming year with hopes that much will be achieved in the direction of bringing the clubs before the people outside of our own school. Doctor Prot i i kroe Director Professor Leigh Faculty Advisor One Hundred Fourteen Doctor Protheroc. who directed the Associated (dee Clubs of America at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia last year, has led our Glee Club again this year. Standing, as he does, at the head of male chorus work in America, we may consider ourselves fortunate to have the privilege of working under him. Professor Leigh, himself a choir-master and a lover of music, has had a guiding and steady hand upon the affairs of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs this year. Five years ago the various musical clubs at Armour organized into a single group to be known as the Armour Tech Musical Clubs. They elected a governing body to direct affairs of general interest and to look after the general welfare of the individual clubs. Kent H. Parker...... George Petters ..... Willard Wilson ...

Clark Rezac Vevurka Clark One Hundred Fifteen CLUBS The Band The Armour Baud is only five years old, and yet, have you ever seen or heard a more husky or lusty youngster in your life? It has grown wonder- fully in every way from the organization that was started with fifteen members in February, 1923, by Bill Douglas. Its membership has grown from the original fifteen to some thirty. Interest has grown both within the members and within the student body as a whole. The musical capabilities and under- standing of the individual members have enlarged and increased immeasurably. Therefore, we feel justified in remarking that the baby, in spite of its young and tender age, is quite a strapping young fellow and ready to accomplish great things in music at Armour. The musical guardian, under whose guiding hand this youngster is start- ing out to make its name in life, is George Rezac, an embryo civil engineer. We have often wondered why George selected engineering instead of music as his profession, but, of course, we have remained discreetly silent on the subject. At any rate, he is most capably fitted to fill the position of Student Leader of the Band. Under his baton, the band has improved its style of playing the marches and martial music which a band is supi osed to play, and beside has become proficient at a different type of music, as was demonstrated at all three of the concerts given by the Musical Clubs. George has given his men the artists’ touch which had been so notably lacking before. The band was well-balanced from an instrumentation standpoint, except for a lack of trombone players. The French horns, the mellowphones, the baritones and the bass horn were all represented in good style, needing only two or three good trombones to balance the bass section. The reed and trumpet sections were, as usual, well filled. As in past years, the band bore the brunt of the outside playing of the Musical Clubs. Because of the very nature of the organization, it was ex- pected to perform at the Alumni Banquet, Circus Day, basketball games and on all occasions where an injection of pep was needed. At all of its appear- ances a most favorable impression was created and it was always greeted with enthusiasm. Next year, we feel that even greater things are in store for the band. An improvement in performance and technique is to be exacted with the or- ganization and the leader in their present condition of ambition and enthusiasm. We also look for some material departures from the old appearances. In other words, we hope that the day when the band will appear fifty or more strong, in uniforms, on Circus Day, is not too far removed in the dim and distant future. One Hundred Sixteen George A.

One Hundred Seventeen CLUBS Armour Glee Club The end of one of ihe most progressive years in the history of Armour requires a brief resume of the accomplishments of one of its most active or- ganizations, the Glee Club. Under the able direction of Dr. Daniel Protheroe, that nationally known master of male chorus training, the talented singers of Armour Tech have developed into a unit worthy of bearing the name of Armour. Their very creditable productions have been the subject of prolonged applause and have secured for them several offers to appear in outside engagements. These were turned down under the advice of Dr. Protheroe who does not approve of out- side appearances. Naturally, under Dr. Protheroe’s selection, the numbers given by the Glee Club are more or less classically inclined. Because of this and due somewhat also, to the blossoming of collegiate life at the Institute, there was formed a double quartette whose purpose it was to present a lighter strain along the lines of the celebrated Waring’s Pennsylvanians. This branch of the organization has proved itself indeed popular with the student body and was loudly ap- plauded on both appearances. There were three concerts given this year by the combined Musical Clubs, and the Glee Club, abandoning its former program of one demonstration a year, appeared in all three concerts. These were the Christmas concert, in which the club presented several delightful carols which very aptly expressed the spirit of the season; the spring concert, held early in March, which was the first test of the new double quartette branch; and the annual Home Concert, which is perhaps the biggest single activity in the whole school year and which was well attended by an appreciative audience. The shading and the control held over by Dr. Protheroe show what an immense amount of work must have been put on the concert by both the club and its director. The Glee Club feels that the past season has shown a vast improvement over former years. With the progress of the school and the corresponding advance in the other A. T. A. A. units it is only fitting and proper that the Glee Club can point with pride at the record they have established in the past' school year. There is no doubt in the minds of the directors of the Glee Club that the outlook for the future is as rosy as could be wished for. This is largely due to the fact that the club expects Dr. Protheroe to continue his suc- cessful leadership. One Hundred Eighteen First Tenor J. J. Brady C. H. Seely W. R. Manske G. B. Cornwell H. A.

And yet there has never been sponsored by the clubs an organization which played only jazz in concert style and rhythmic arrangements of the operas and classics after the fashion of Paul Whiteman. Such is the intent and purpose of the Stresses and Strains, and if their popu- larity at the last two concerts is any indication, the student body approves of the new innovation, mightily. This band of musicians docs not style itself a jazz band, but rather a modernistic and perhaps a bit of a futuristic orchestra whose purpose is to apply a bit of art and finish to jazz and modern arrange- ments. It furnishes an element which has hitherto been lacking in the musical program of the Institute, and which is necessary to a body of students com- posed entirely of modern young men. As everyone who is in the school at the present time is aware, the Stresses and Strains is the name given at first in fun and finally for keeps, to the or- ganization which developed last fall out of thin air. What a name for an organization to live up to! Rather misleading too, is it not? And yet, not entirely a misnomer. Insofar as every man in the band extends himself to his utmost in an elYort to produce the kind of music the leader requires, the appellation applies. For the Stresses and Strains are the most enthusiastic and the hardest working of any of the musical organizations. Every rehearsal is crammed with good peppy work from the very start to the very finish; still everyone has a good time and wishes for a little longer time to practice. Even the self-professed tortured ones, who unaccountably drop in to listen to the repeated and chopped up renditions of each number as it is gone over in detail and the bad Spots worked out, offer encouragement. The organization started out with twelve men. Since then the personnel has been changed considerably, chiefly because of a necessity for a change in instrumentation. At present, there is a fairly complete brass choir and saxo- phone choir. :with the drums and banjo rhythm, and the piano to fill in voids caused by a lack of other instruments. In working out an experiment, such as the development of this orchestra must necessarily be, it is but natural that many changes must be made before the correct number and combination of men and instruments is found. However, we feel that progress is being made constantly. With the giving of a dance in conjunction with the March Concert, it became necessary to procure some kind of a dance orchestra at little or no cost. The only organization of the kind in school was the Stresses and Strains, so it naturally fell to their lot to do double duty on that night, in spite of the fact that they are not and do not intend to become a dance orchestra. The Stresses and Strains made their first appearance with George Rezac leading. Because of schedule conflicts, he found it necessary to give up all but the direction of the band; but in Thornton Clark, we found a most capable and inspiring leader. Clark has had wide experience with modern music and is well qualified to lead the Stresses and Strains to further glory. One Hundred Twenty CLUBS Stresses and Strains T. J.

One Hundred Twenty-one 1R5 fce ycle Orchestra The style of music played by the orchestra has been changed from the simple overtures, waltzes and so on, to real symphonic arrangements. Laboring as we are under the difficulty of unbalanced instrumentation, it is impossible to play the original symphonies and masterpieces of overtures. Consequently, as good engineers, we make the best of circumstances and use the best arrange- ments of the originals that can be procured. Both the technique and the style of the Orchestra has developed and improved. The men are acquiring a me- chanical technique and a feeling for music individually that they had not hitherto possessed. The members are creating a team work spirit which is so necessary to good ensemble playing. William E. Vevurka Violins C. W. Burcky H. I). Froberg W. S. Guyot J. Kotzan N. H. Markoff A. Nelson H. W.

MacPowell One Hundred Twenty-nine vclel TKe PUBLICATIONS Armour Engineer Editorial The Armour Engineer has completed eighteen years of successful work as a college publication. Each year and its respective administration has regis- tered its influence upon its character. At no time has this influence been detrimental. If it has not been of an improving nature, it at least has been neutral. There are to be found no reverse curves in the progress of the Armour Engineer. Proof of this lies in the product itself. Additional proof of a likewise positive nature has been evinced in the past year. The School of Journalism of the University of Illinois conducted a college publication contest. Publications from every college in the United States and Canada were eligible to rating. Some eight hundred fifty colleges were repre- sented. The Armour Engineer received a distinguished rating award. During the year we received a letter from the Dean of the Engineering Colleges of one of the largest state universities in the country which contained a message complimenting us on the magazine that we publish. A check covering one year’s subscription to the Armour Engineer was received a short time ago from one of our country’s leading financiers. We take these facts as indicative that our publication is a superior jour- nalistic accomplishment; that it has an appeal to those whom it was created to serve—those of the engineering profession; and that its interest and field are broad enough to attract even the attention and merit the interest of one not in the engineering profession. In speaking in this vein it is not our intention to convey the impression that this administration takes any undue credit to itself. If such were the case we would undoubtedly use smooth and devious means of informing you of any felicitations we might think were our due. Instead, we wish merely to reflect the glory upon the efforts of our pre- decessors which they were too modest to claim as their own. Some years ago. the Armour Engineer adopted as its slogan. “Make the Armour Engineer the best technical college publication in the country.” Since that time succeeding staffs have kept this thought uppermost in their minds. They have continually bent their efforts towards making the idea a reality. We believe that it is a reality. If it is not a reality, then the Armour Engi- neer is at least on a par with any technical college publication in the country. If. or when, our goal is reached, future editors need not think that their work is done. It will remain for them to carry on, maintain, and suit the purpose of the publication to the ever-changing requirements of our readers. This will especially be the case in view of our coming merger with North- western University, because the magazine will go on. We have received assur- ance that the publication will continue to function in its present capacity. It is our desire, at this time, to thank those who have contributed to and made possible our recent successes: our student body: our faculty; and our kind directors, Professor C. E. Paul. Professor J. C. Peebles, and Mr. J. Warren McCaffrev. One Hundred Thirty wfT. 1927 PUBLICATIONS J. D. Green W W. Gotha rd TKe Armour Engineer STAFF Wm. W.

For several years past the Armour Fraternities have supported a body of representatives known as the Inter- Fraternity Rushing Committee; but feeling the need of a well organized Council to legislate among the Fraternities, we have formed an organization of this kind. The purpose of the Inter-Fraternity Council is to bring about closer relationship between the Fraternities, and thus in our union come closer to our Alma Mater, 'flic Council regulates all matters of common interest to the Fraternities such as: Inter-Fraternity sports, dances, scholarship, rushing, pledging and initiating. Each recognized Fraternity on the Armour campus is entitled to one rep- resentative on the Council; and it is through his Representative that each Fraternity man has an opi ortunity to voice an opinion or give birth to an idea concerning Inter-Fraternity affairs.

It was the very first social function of the Paragraph Club and was a pronounced success. “The purpose from the beginning has been to develop the social side ot life at ‘The Tech The Paragraph Club is limited to fifteen members and they are from the most active and earnest men in the college. A number of fraternities, anxious for a footing in the Institute, have expressed a desire to give a charter to the new society.” The above could not be expressed in better words than as it is taken as an extract from an article that appeared in a Chicago newspaper in 18% After flourishing for two years as a local organization, this Paragraph Club received its charter as Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pin Kappa Sigma Fra- ternity. And thus this group of men brought the first national fraternity to Armour Institute, and the oldest national fraternity on the campus. Organized in 1850 at the University of Pennsylvania, the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity has made a steady climb forward. The fraternity has been careful in the establishment of its chapters and now is represented iri thirty-four of the leading colleges in the country. The fraternity is represented in both technical and liberal art colleges, and consequently may offer as her alumni, men who arc leaders in all branches of work in the business, industrial and professional world.

On April 16th of the same year, the name “Monolith Club” was changed to “Con- sonant Club.” The membership increased by the fall of 1900 from eight members to fifteen members and the club obtained for its first home one of the Armour flats. The members, fully realizing the benefits that could he derived from a national fraternity, decided to petition the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. The petition was granted May 8th. 1901 and thus Gamma Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was installed at Armour. The chapter soon changed the location of its home from the Armour flats to Wabash Avenue and then to Michigan Avenue where the purchase of a suitable home was seriously considered. In view of the recent announcement of the proposed affiliation of Armour with Northwestern, the chapter has de- cided to refrain from purchasing a permanent residence in the vicinity of our present location. We feel justly proud of our record at Armour and of the men Gamma Beta has turned out. With the ideals of our chapter ever in mind, we have confidence to go on by realizing the support Gamma Beta of Delta Tau Delta gives to us in surmounting whatever obstacles we may encounter. i Cumming.

Kidd One Hundred Forty-four SOCIAL FRATERNITIES Alpha Gamma of Theta Xi The Omega Lambda local Fraternity was organized at Armour Institute of Technolog)' in the year 1909, being the first local fraternity at Armour. Although undergoing a period of organization and adjustments at first, the fraternity soon became established as one of the most active and progressive organizations at the Institute. It was soon felt that affiliation with a strong national fraternity would be helpful to the chapter, and, after careful consideration of all college fra- ternities, a petition was sent to the Theta Xi Fraternity. In the summer of 1922, Omega Lambda received its charter as the Alpha Gamma Chapter of the Theta Xi Fraternity. An Alumni Association was formed and with their assistance, the house at 3205 Michigan Avc. was purchased as a home for the fraternity. From that time to the present. Theta Xi's influence at Armour has steadily increased, an influence exerted for the welfare of the fraternity and our Alma Mater. The past year has been of much significance to Theta Xi men. It marks the point at which the fraternity abandoned its former policy of admitting only men pursuing scientific courses. This is destined to become of great! importance upon the completion of the affiliation with Northwestern University. It will also permit Theta Xi to adopt a policy of expansion where heretofore, only a limited number of schools were considered suitable for establishment of chapters. The year at the Institute has passed smoothly with the fraternity well represented in the various activities. We feel that, since the fraternity owes its existence to the college, we arc pledged to maintain its standards and rep- utation throughout the engineering and scientific world. Theta Xi men are men who recognize their obligations to the Institute and fraternity, and are those who strive to maintain the ideals and spirit of their college life through- out the course of their business careers. 7A fj .

The purpose of its organization was two-fold; to obtain the advantages of a closely banded group of young men and to promote scholarship among its members. W ith these two motives always in mind, Sigma Kappa Delta has carried on its work with unbounded success. The advantages of a brotherhood, both in the social and school activities, have been used and appreciated to their fullest extent. While the members have been developing their characters and their personalities, they have not forgotten the main purpose for their presence at Armour. The chapter is proud that it has been able to maintain the highest rank in scholarship among the social fraternities at Armour. Sigma Kappa Delta has always remembered that it has a definite place in the school. The members of the chapter arc active in practically every sport, every organization and every affair that Armour has fostered. The fraternity as a unit has given the school its undivided support. The brothers of Sigma Kappa Delta hope that they may be instrumental in bringing addi- tional honors to their Alma Mater and their fraternity. Grosjfuth. Anderson Snediker, Deiwert Tracy, Payne.

Gamma of Beta Phi was installed at Armour in March, 1913 and flour- ished for eight years. During the war. the Beta Phi organization crumbled. However Phi Pi Phi seemed to flourish in its growth during the martial period and in 1923. the local organization joined the national fraternity. In the past few years. Phi Pi Phi has grown from an organization in the middle west to a national organization ranging from coast to coast. The old saying “What's in a name?” applies to this fraternity. We have been able to make great headway and stand up with the rest of them under each of the names we have had in the past fourteen years. In scholarship annals we have maintained a record to be proud of. In school activities and athletic events, we have a record to be envied. In the past year we have annexed our second basketball cup. We have held this championship for the past nine years. In other events we have been just as successful, as our “trophy room” reveals. We do not try to specialize in any one thing but hope to be efficient in everything, thus keeping Gamma of Phi Pi Phi as near as possible to the ideal fraternity. Menge. Anderson Jill son.

On the 27th day of August, 1919, the Rho Delta Rho Fraternity was chartered in the State of Illinois, and a formal petition for recognition as a local fraternity was prepared for the Executive Council of Armour Institute of Technology. The petition was accepted and the aforesaid fraternity became established on the campus in February, 1920, as a local fraternity with an initial membership of ten. That the bonds of friendship and loyalty which were cherished by our founders arc the true fraternity spirit, is evidenced by our 18 active and 55 alumni members; a record of progress, friendship, loyalty, love and co- operation of which we are justly proud.

But with the coming of graduation, several of the brothers will receive the well- earned “sheepskin” and to replace these men, we have taken in five new ones, each man well-fitted to carry on the work of the fraternity. Socially, we have carried through a larger and more intensive program than ever before. Besides the rushing and pledging smokers, we have had a Fall dance and a Christmas week dinner dance, both, affairs of great enthusiasm on the part of the brothers. A dinner dance was given on New Year's Eve, and lent itself admirably to the spirit and fun of the occasion. These events were wound up by the customary Founder’s Day gathering and the season closed with the long-awaited annual Spring informal. Sigma Alpha Mu’s 1926 Convention of Progress was held at Columbus, Ohio on December 26-28th and many of the brothers were fortunate in being able to attend this inspiring gathering. In April, we again met our “fraters” at Indianapolis, Ind., where the mid-western conclave assembled. This was attended bv chapters from many of the near-by states and proved of great interest and help to the chapter. v Goldman Polacek Chayes, Ritman, Buchsbaum, Kohn.

Chandler Xe Gyc SOCIAL FRATERNITIES Armour Chapter of Triangle On October 12, 1921. six students of Armour Institute of Technology de- cided to form a society which would he known as ‘‘Scroll and Triangle.” These men, C. Y. Carlson. ’23, George Goedhart, ’23, Robert S. Mayo, '23, Benjamin F. Morrison, ’22, Harold Y. Munday. ’23 and L. T. Smith, ’23. felt that the ideals of friendship which they sought and the spirit of fellow- ship and congeniality could be secured best by forming such a local fraternity. By January of 1922, the small local group was growing by leaps and Ixninds.— due, no doubt, to the unfailing enthusiasm of the founders and the result of a long study of fraternity conditions and problems on the campus. The founders firmly resolved to produce a high class, successful fraternity— free, if possible, from the mistakes of other fraternities. At this time, a formal petition for recognition as a local fraternity was drawn up and presented to the Executive Council of Armour Institute of Technology. This was accepted and “Scroll and Triangle” became established on the campus as a local fraternity in February, 1922. Towards the end of the same year, this fraternity. “Scroll and Triangle,” petitioned a national fraternity of engineers,—TRIANGLE—, for a chapter at Armour. At the fourteenth annual convention of Triangle in May of 1923, the petition was accepted and on the 26th of May. 1923. “Scroll and Triangle.” —a local fraternity,—became Armour Chapter of Triangle.

The past year has been a most prosperous and pleasant one. The spirit of co-operation has been very strong among our members and as a result, our fraternity has grown. When school opened last fall all our members, with the exception of two, returned. Our first problem was that of obtaining a house, and due to the splendid work of our officers, we obtained the house at 3337 South Michigan Avenue. Within a very short time our new quarters were com- pletely furnished, and when the rushing season opened, everything was ready for this most important work. The social season for Beta Psi was opened with a house dance on Decem- ber 17th. Everyone enjoyed it so much that another was held on February 18th, with still greater success. The pledges of Beta Psi. after surviving the “horrors and tortures” of pledgeship, were formally initiated into the brotherhood on February 21, 1927. Our scholarship record has not been injured in the least due to our social activities, in fact it has been materially bettered and it is our hope to rank first among the fraternities in scholarship. The success which Beta Psi has enjoyed during the past year is due to the spirit of helpfulness and co-operation which our members have shown. We are always striving for harmony because harmony is the strength and support of all institutions. Ewald, McDougal Besch, Hoter I irson, Sairs, Ooetz. Beckman, Janak, Thorsen, Stelnhaus.

The name was an ancient Hebrew word meaning “Builder” and was chosen because it was symbolic of the ideals and desires of the members. In order to connect itself with the school about which its being was concentrated, the Umen applied for recognition as a club and received a charter on April 17, 1922. In Octol er. 1924, the club was reorganized as a Greek letter fraternity in compliance with a suggestion from the Office of the Dean, and the new name has been as much symbolic of the progress and success of the fraternity as Umen was of the original club. During the past year Kappa Delta Tau has increased and extended its activities. It has distinguished itself in both scholarship and social activities. The social calendar for the past year has been very full and successful, be- ginning with the Hallowe’en party at the Virginia Hotel, which woke the members from summer’s lethargy, and prepared them for the events which were to follow, and ending with the Annual Dinner Dance just l efore the end of the school year. The time between was well filled. The New Year’s Stag, the Rainbo Gardens Dinner, and the initiation ceremonies at which six new members were put through the necessary inconveniences, are affairs that will not soon be forgotten. It is customary that all the Kappa Delta Tau activities be supported one hundred per cent by the student members and alumni. The unusual interest taken by the graduates in the activities and welfare of the fraternity speaks well of the fraternal spirit of Kappa Delta Tau.

Von Grhr One Hundred Seventy-six HONORARY FRATERNITIES Beta of Illinois Tau Beta Pi is an honorary society which was founded at Lehigh Uni- versity, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in June, 1885. Its object, primarily, is to confer honor upon those engineering students who have maintained a high standard of scholarship and who have also displayed marked leadership, initia- tive and character during their college courses. By placing emphasis upon the cultural side of a man’s life as well as the scholastic, Tau Beta Pi seeks to inculcate a broader spirit of liberal education in the engineering students of the institutions in which its chapters are located. Beta Chapter of Illinois was chartered in 1906 and was the fourteenth chapter of the fraternity established. There are now forty-seven active chapters in the engineering colleges of the United States and nine active alumni organi- zations in various large cities. A convention is held each year to foster the bonds of friendship and professional interest that exist between the members of the various chapters. This year the convention was held at the University of Missouri and proved of great inspiration and help to the delegates attending. In the spring students are elected to Tau Beta Pi from the highest one- eighth of the Junior Class, scholastically; and in the fall Seniors in the upper ejuarter of their class, together with the Junior having the highest average in his class, become eligible. Membership may also be conferred upon graduates and prominent engineers. But mere scholarship does not admit a man to membership in Tau Beta Pi. The man’s qualities of character, personality, college activity, and leadership prove his ultimate worth to society and the school, and it is only through maintaining a proper balance between these attributes and scholarship that a man can hope to win a prominent place as an engineer.

The worthiness of a candidate for Pi Tau Sigma is determined not alone by scholastic standing but also by the qualities of character, loyalty, personality, leadership and college activity. Students are elected to Pi Tau Sigma from the upper half of the senior class and the upper quarter of the junior class in the fall. They are also elected from the upper third of the junior class in the spring of each year. A chapter may also confer a key upon technical graduates actively engaged in the engineering profession. Honorary membership may also l e conferred upon full associate or assistant professors in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Only last spring, Pi Tau Sigma had the great pleasure of initiating Prof. J. C. Peebles as an honorary meml er. Pi Tau Sigma now boasts of eight active chapters of which Delta chapter is the fifth.

One would suspect, and not without reason, that such organizations originally were devices invented by educators, to stimulate interest in learning by serving as a goal toward which the ambitious student could turn his efforts. The number of societies of this nature has rapidly increased until at the present time we find them in all branches of all pro- fessions, and their influence is both respected and appreciated by educators. The rapid development of the engineering profession has opened up a new field wherein such organizations can and do perform important functions. In the engineering field learning is a necessity but it is, nevertheless, only one of the many qualities required of the successful engineer. The founders of Eta Kappa Xu recognized the value of high scholarship but they were not blind to the other and greater elements of the engineering profession; they knew that all engineering can be reduced to one common denominator, man. With these thoughts in mind they endowed the organization with a broader purpose than that of a strictly scholastic fraternity. The society has filled a niche which was previously vacant, and it has not entirely failed in its avowed purpose of spreading the spirit of good-fellowship among the members of the electrical engineering profession. It is this spirit which has bound the members of Delta Chapter together and which has given to them some appreciation of the human side of engi- neering.' Our senior year, with its problems, its close associations, and its chaotic mixture of work, play, pain and pleasure, has passed like a flash ot light and we of Delta wish that we might continue our associations with the men of the Class of '27 for many years to come. We know that such a wish can never come true and that the past year can never be lived again, but we still carry with us an etching that time may tone but never erase, a remem- brance of our senior year at Armour Institute of Technology.

At the suggestion of the 1926 Convention held in Philadelphia last fall, a campaign was carried out among the entire alumni of all the active chapters for life subscriptions to the official organ of the society. Omicron chapter did its share of the work and its efforts were well received. A remarkable feature of the year was the size of the active membership, which exceeded that of any previous year but with no sacrifice of the former standards. Recognition of high scholarship took the form of an award of a standard handbook to the highest freshman in the chemical course last year. The social functions, including the pledge smokers and the semester ban- quets, brought out many of the local alumni. The banquet held at the Hamilton Club early this year was exceptionally good. Thanks should be extended ai this time to the former pledges who so generously lent their talents to making these evenings very enjoyable and live affairs. The papers presented by the initiates this year were of the after-dinner variety in that they aided digestion by their mirth-giving qualities. It has been suggested that they be gathered, together with their predecessors, into one volume entitled: The Post-Prandial Proceedings of Omicron Chapter of Phi lambda Upsilon.

The requisites for membership in the fraternity are scholarship, sociability, practicability, and character. The pur- pose of the fraternity is to honor those civil engineering students who deserve recognition for their accomplishments at college. Members are chosen from the upper third of the Junior and Senior classes. The fall initiation banquet was held at the Brevoort Hotel on December 8, 1926. At this time the fraternity had the great pleasure of initiating Prof. Philip C. Huntly as an honorary member of Chi Epsilon. Four members of the Senior class were admitted to the fraternity at the same time. Cl)i iffpsilou 1907 Johnson Green. Harrower, Slatalla, Collins.

In common with all other honorary fraternities, its prime purpose is to recognize excellence in scholarship and l� y this recognition, provide incen- tive for the attainment of such excellence. It serves also to foster among its members and the department, original research and investigation in all branches of Fire Protection Engineering. Prompted by such motives, two members of the class of 1923, in co- operation with Prof. Finnegan of the faculty, took the initial steps that led to the organization of an honorary Fire Protection Engineering society. The charter membership was composed of seven men who bequeathed to the organi- zation a high purpose and an obligation to perpetuate the ideals of the society. Since its origin, Salamander has striven to uphold and further the purpose for which it was founded. The active members have had frequent meetings during the past year which will always bring pleasant memories of good fellow- ship. Through close touch with the members who have graduated and are working in the fire insurance field, Salamander is able to bring to the student of Fire Protection Engineering knowledge of actual conditions in the field that is of great practical value.

Jorgensen One Hundred Eighty-eight HONORARY FRATERNITIES Edfou Temple of Scarab Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians used the scarab, or “scarabaeus” as the symbol of the power of creation which they worshipped as deity. Today the mention of “Scarab” to anyone immediately recalls Egypt, the land of mystery, and also the birthplace of architecture. That is why the fraternity of the leaders in architecture is called “Scarab.” The fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1909 by the leaders in architecture in the University. Six years later, Edfou Temple was chartered at Armour Institute. At present there are nine chapters, each one stimulating interest in architecture some way. Edfou Temple offers a prize each year to the Sophomore showing greatest excellence in design. This prize is generally awarded on a sketch problem which is judged by a faculty jury. Another activity of similar nature is the traveling exhibit. For this, each temple sends representative drawings to the Supreme Council where they are judged and arranged for a tour. They are then sent to each of the temples where they are placed on exhibition. This allows a first hand comparison of the quality of work which each school is doing. The fraternity also offers a prize each year to be awarded for the best solution of a design problem in a national competition between all Juniors registered in the B. A. I. D.

He is accused of living apart from society, in a world of his own making, with the result that he develops little sympathy for the fine arts. In view of this, it is especially fitting that Sphinx numbers among the Armour honorary fraternities, being the second oldest in this group. Its func- tions constitute a pronounced element in the development of well balanced interests and training of engineers. The Cycle plan of progressive management which was proposed and in- augurated by Sphinx is now showing favorable results. As one indication of its success, we may look toward this volume. In the actual working of the plan it was necessary that minor modifications be affected, the most important of which occurred in the business department. Originally, the business manager was to be a senior, chosen from the staff of junior business assistants of the preceding year. The system now requires that the business manager be a member of the junior class, and chosen from the staff of sophomore business assistants of the preceding year. The retiring business manager, in his senior year, is retained as an advisory business manager, but has no delegated coercive powers in the management. As time goes on, further changes will be necessitated in the management of the publications. When such changes are required, Sphinx will present new workable plans, because Sphinx is composed of those who have indicated their individual abilities by their distinguished association with the publications.

Rezac it One Hundred Ninely-tivo HONORARY FRATERNITIES Pi Nu Epsilon The establishment of an Honorary Musical Society at Armour was the result of many months’ consideration of the problems of the Musical Clubs and the need for such an organization. It was finally thought that the solution lay in the formation of an Honorary Society the aims of which were: First, to honor the men who devoted their time and efforts to the Musical Clubs over a period of four years; Second, to stimulate interest and work in the Musical Clubs; Third, to foster and develop a broader interest in music and musical affairs at Armour. With these facts in mind, the officers of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs received | ermission from the Institute to organize an Honorary Musical Fra- ternity whose aims would be to band together “for the enjoyment and advance- ment of music in general, for the furtherance of the knowledge and apprecia- tion of music at the Armour Institute of Technology specifically, and for the continued expansion and prosperity of the organization now known as the Armour Tech Musical Clubs.” A charter was granted to Pi Nu Epsilon in January as an Honorary Musical Fraternity. As yet, only a few months old, the fraternity has not had much chance to take part in school activities. The first problem that it has taken under consideration is the one of encouraging more students to go out for musical activities. We hope that in future years, Pi Xu Epsilon will demonstrate to the school the latent talent that has long lain idle, and with this increase in musical work, the name of Armour is destined to become known in college musical circles. .Markoff Clark Itezac.

The objects of this organization are numerous. It intends to organize and systematize all inter-class relations, customs, and privileges; to serve as a means of communication between the student body and the faculty; to pass and enforce in co-operation with the Institute executives such acts as it may deem advisable for the government and regulation of the student body; to foster mass meetings at appropriate intervals; to promote inter-fraternity con- tests; to stimulate interest in athletic contests; and to direct and manage all matters which properly fall under the direction of such an organization. The membership is open to students, alumni, and the faculty. The man- agement is in the hands of the Hoard of Athletic Control, which shall constitute the Advisory Council. The Board of Athletic Control shall consist of the Executive Council, three faculty members, the officers of the A. T. A. A., a representative from the Freshman class, and a finance committee. The Board of Athletic Control created the finance committee which is composed of the President of the B. of A. C. the Comptroller, a major “A man. a musical club representative, and one chosen from the Press Club. This organization has produced many favorable changes in all activities. At a recent meeting of the student body sponsored by the A. T. A. A. it was voted to give all graduate “A” men a black and yellow blanket, signifying the winning of the most cherished major “A.” Tzt'o Hundred The future of this organization is promising; the past has been successful. SS1LL921J ATHLETICS Basketball 1926-27 Milton H. Romney..................Coach A. Autjustink ..................Captain Carl E. Reutter.................Manager M. H. Romney The schedule arranged for the Tech team was undoubtedly the hardest ever undertaken, with such teams as Notre Dame, Lombard, Augustana, Car- roll, St. Mary’s, and Kalamazoo on the card. “Milt” Romney again coached the team and injected the old fighting spirit into the players as only “Milt” can. With hard luck following them everywhere, the team dropped many close games; but the students think of them as a hard scrapping outfit. Gale Morgan, captain-elect, did not return to school; hence, it was neces- sary to choose a new captain. Augustine was given this honor to carry the team through the season. Nineteen games were on the schedule and the season ended with seven wins and twelve defeats. This is a fairly creditable showing considering the strong competition our men were up against. With the first call for candidates the second week in November about thirty-five men reported at the Armory for the early practice sessions. The team had to be built around six of last year’s men: Augustine, Kuffel, Eisenberg, Hofer, Brumund, and Egan. After a week or so of practice new and hopeful material was discovered in Tavlinsky, Tell, Fabian, and Reiflcr. A few practice games were arranged in preparation for the season’s opener with Notre Dame on December 6. On this date the team journeyed to South Bend to play practically the same team which last year had won the Western Championship. The first half was fairly close and hard fought, the half ended with Notre Dame leading 19-11. In the last half Coach Keogan’s shock troops tired out the Tech players, while the accuracy of their long shots be- wildered our men. and we were defeated.

Augustine Tavlinsky Kuffel This defeat was not disheartening to the team for they realized that the main fault was lack of practice. On January 5 the Alumni were defeated 26-23 in a very ragged and rough game. Neither team played a good brand of basketball, and many fouls were committed. The next important game was with Carroll College at Waukesha, Wis. Our men passed beautifully down the floor, but their eye for the basket was bad for they missed shot after shot. Carroll sent three men down one side of the floor, this puzzled our guards and consequently sucked them out of position. The Carroll team began to drop in long shots and finally won out, 36-17. Two Hundred Four 19273 ATHLETICS Brumund Elsenberg Hofer January 12 Lombard came to our gym very overconfident and with all expectations of an easy victory. They had reasons for assuming such an attitude for a week before they had defeated Butler College, and in return Butler had trounced the University of Chicago. Our men were highly keyed up. very nervous, and wanted this game above everything. In this game Hofer and Augustine started at guards, Brumund at center, and Kuffel and Tavlinskv at forwards. It was a battle to the finish with Lombard the victors. The team this year was strong defensively, probably stronger than years before, but the offense was uncertain and erratic. There seemed to be no reliable point getters, for each one shared his turn as high point man. The whole offense was centered and directed around Capt. Augustine who was an exceptionally fine dribbler; while Hofer adapted himself to crashing in and taking the ball off of the backboard. iU-92£§2 Two Hundred Five ATHLETICS Tell Fabian Capt-Elect. Brockmann After a bad showing against Augustana the team came back and won three successive victories over Dekalb. Crane, and Lake Forest respectively. This put new confidence into the team and they resolved to keep up the good work. Between semesters the team made the annual Detroit trip. At St. Mary's we were defeated 34-31, losing out only in the last few minutes of play. The St. Mary's players were too familiar with their small, box-like gym. On February 25 we soundly trounced “Y” College at their gym by a score of 42-11. The season was then drawing to an end, and this was one game in which we played real basketball in true season's form. The final game of the year was on March 4 at Galesburg against Lombard. This was a nip and tuck battle throughout, and Lombard sank the winning basket with thirty seconds to play, giving them the game by a score of 21-19. With seven veterans to pick from for next year's team we should have a winning combination. The team should be given much credit for their hard work, and we are hopeful for better luck next year. Two Hundred Six I ATHLETICS Baseball “1926” Coach ..................William C. Krafft Captain................William F. Downes Manager..............Edward H. Marhoefer In spite of the fact that the schedule was composed of some very hard games, the team came through fairly strong with seven wins and as many defeats. With seven letter men back Coach Krafft expected to mold together a strong aggregation; and although the team improved as the season progressed, no heavy hitters could be found in the lineup. The infield was fairly well fortified with the defense centered around Capt. Downes at the keystone sack. McLaren playing the hot corner was hindered somewhat by bad eyes and as a result did not come up to expectations. “Red” Hellgren was ready to display his usual skill at the initial sack. Plocar and Hofer could be relied upon to handle anything that came their way behind the bat. Huben was the only veteran back on the pitching staff—a stiuation which made this depart- ment look anything but promising. The other veteran was Schonne and he could be expected to cover the center garden satisfactorily. A goodly number of men answered the first call and as a result, Krafft had no trouble in picking a team. Coach Krafft had his pitchers and catchers work out in the Tech gym- nasium during the months of February and March. Here new pitching ma- terial was uncovered in Alexander and Davis. The winter months seemed unwilling to leave and the cold weather prevented outside practice, and as a result the spring practice was cut very short. In fact the first scheduled game came after only a few days of outside work. Bradley came here for our first game, which was the close of a successful road trip for them. Armour played loosely in the field, and the hitting was very uncertain. As a result the game was lost by a score of 9-0. This was the worst defeat the team suffered the whole season, and it was the only shutout. Everyone realized that the defeat was not so bad considering the condition of the team.

This victory put confidence and fight into the team, and the next week produced some lively practice sessions. On April 23 in the most spectacular game seen on the home diamond all year. Armour defeated Northwestern College 3-2. A great crowd of students attended this game and they were greatly rewarded. Huben pitched a brilliant game, and received wonderful support from the rest of the team; while Schonnc. Hofer, and Hellgren did heavy work with the stick. Capt. Downes Eisenberg McLaren Davis ATHLETICS HeUgren Kuffcl Sohonne Capt-Elect. Hofer The bright light of the season occurred on May 6 when Armour jour- neyed down south to Bradley, to avenge our early season defeat. It was here that the Tech players inscribed their names in Armour’s Hall of Fame when they defeated Bradley 5-3 in a hard game. At this time Bradley was at the head in their conference. Alexander pitched the whole game in big league form, while Plocar commanded and steadied the team from behind the bat. 'Phe next event was a trip through Michigan where Armour played Western State Normal, St. Mary’s, and the Michigan Aggies. All three of these games were lost, but the teams played were of high calibre and were composed of heavy hitters and excellent pitchers. We were soundly trounced by Western State and the Michigan Aggies. Again our hitting failed, having been erratic all season. Also, our pitching staff weakened. Two Hundred Eleven assassem m ATHLETICS Plocar Huben Alexander Jennings The hard fought game of the trip was against St. Mary’s, which we lost 5-4. Alexander pitched a fine game, but his teammates lacked that necessary- punch to put over the winning run. On June 2 Kuffel pitched the team to victory over the Alumni, which resulted in a score of 13-4. The playing was very ragged, many errors being made on both sides. On June 3, the last game of the season, the Great Lakes defeated Armour 12-5 on Ogden field. Many errors were made considering that it was the last game of the season. Great Lakes had many heavy hitters at the bat which was largely responsible for our defeat. The team of 1927 will have four letter men back, and a large group of underclassmen from which a team will be picked. Two Hundred Txvelve Track . .Coach .Captain Manager ATHLETICS Prof. H. R. Phalen Chester Long ..... Louis P. Allaire. .. Track in its short time at Armour has built up a reputation of being one of the strongest of the major sports. Track was firmly instituted shortly after the war, and in its short period has developed tremendously. A novel idea was introduced by Coach Phalen to develop the interest of the whole school in track activities. A series of events were run off, called the Decathlon or more commonly known as the “all-around.” This idea proved so successful the previous year that it was decided to repeat and possibly uncover some new material. The men competing were divided into two classes, Varsity and Novice, and medals were awarded to the three highest of each group. The Decathlon, obviously meaning ten events, was so divided that in each event 1000 points were given for a i erformance equaling the school record. A few men were found who performed brilliantly in events which before hand they had never entered. The winners of 1926 were as follows: Varsity Notice First: Samuelson............Gold Medal First: Brumund.............Gold Medal Second: Robinson ....Silver Medal Second: 'I'. Schuler.. .Silver Medal Third: Payne..............Bronze Medal Third: R. Schuler... Bronze Medal The Cross Country team coached and captained by Payne disbanded after one meet due to the lack of material. The engineers for some reason do not favor this sport in which to compete; and therefore it was left up to Payne, Deiwert, and a few Freshmen to carry things through. The one meet with North Central at Naperville was lost by a score of 34-21, our men placed in the following order: Deiwert. second; Payne, fifth; Smith, eighth; Schuler, ninth; and Finlayson, tenth. Deiwert was elected captain of next year’s team and we hope that more spirit will be shown next year. The 1926 outdoor season was very successful with five wins and two defeats. Captain Long performed brilliantly throughout the season and was high point man with 75V4 points; his specialties are the hundred, 4-10 and 880 yard runs. On April 24 the first meet of the year was held at “Y” College in a deluge of rain, and we defeated our annual rivals by a decisive margin: wiping out the close defeats we had suffered the past two years. Armour slammed both the 440 yard dash and the mile run, while “Y” College slammed the pole vault. The wet condition of the field prevented any record breaking per- formances.

Long Fabian Harrow©r Tracy On April 28, which was a cold, windy day, Lake Forest met Armour on Ogden Field, and was badly beaten. Of the 14 events Armour took ten firsts and slammed three events. Again the weather was a big handicap and many of the athletes were forced to wear their sweat clothes throughout their events. The next meet on May 1 with North Central at Naperville was lost by 3 points (66 2-63] ), and was not decided until the last event had been com- pleted. The weather was ideal with a hot sun, and a slight breeze. In this meet Skaer broke the school record for the javelin. On May 8 the team traveled to Rock Island to meet Augustana and again won by a large score. Here we slammed three events along with a new javelin record set by Perry. The Lombard meet at Galesburg on May 22 was lost but must be thought of as the greatest of all, for in this meet 5 school records were broken. Capt. I ong running in beautiful form broke the 440 yard dash and half mile records. Deiwert smashed the mile record which had been standing since 1916. In addition Skaer again broke the javelin record, while Payne broke the 2 mile record for the second time in the season. Two Hundred Sixteen . i . Two Hundred Seventeen The last meet of the season was held on May 28 and was won by an overwhelming score, this time Valparaiso “U” was the victim.

There were five men given letters, they were Capl. Miller, Urban, Peter- son, Bates, and Lang; all of these men will he back for the 1927 season. Until this year Miller and Urban in the doubles had never been defeated; this record was maintained with but one exception, and that was a hard fought match lost to Marquette. 'l'he high light of the season was the defeat of Xotre Dame. This game was won on the last green by the last shot made. Urban’s approach shot to the last green was trapped; while his opponent was on the green. Urban suc- ceeded in pitching out of the trap and sinking his putt. His opponent missed by inches and the match was won by Armour. The other foursome halved every hole up to the ninth green, where Bates made a phenomenal approach shot and sank a thirty foot putt to score two points for Armour. Capt.

Jennings, playing number one. found no equal and won every match in which he played. His flashy serving and quick returns proved too much for his opponents. Stellar, a freshman, was a real find. Capt. Peacock played his same steady game, and iq on this kind of men the game depends. Jennings and Stellar played first doubles and won every match.

Willis..........Manager When the call went out for the swimming team about twenty-five aspir- ing natators reported for the initial dip. Comprising this group were a few promising Freshmen, and of course last year's letter men. The services of Coach McGillivray were again secured and the team as usual practiced in the Bartlett pool at the University of Chicago. Lack of interest was again displayed in this sport, and is probably due to the many inconveniences incurred to those wishing to practice regularly. A fairly creditable showing was made by the team although the records show four defeats and a single victory. The competition encountered was comparatively strong, and as a result interesting meets were seen. Capt. Mar- hoefer was again high point man for the season, with Trognitz second, and Abrahamson third. The team was composed of the following: Breast Stroke Trognitz Diving Stemple Frown Crawl Marhoefer Schuler Willis VanVelda Abrahamson Strauch Back Stroke Trognitz Abrahamson Relay Team Marhoefer Willis VanVelda T.

Smith Wrestling Captain.........J. D. Green Boxing Captain and Manager. . W. C. Healy The boxing and wrestling teams again worked out under the direction of Coach Smith. The squad seemed to have enough fight in them; but they lacked the experience which is so essential to anyone participating in this branch of athletics. Lack of practice may account for the showing of the year. The squad met only once or twice a week up in the Tech gym, these practice sessions having been held during the midday only. The wrestling team had a meet at “Y” College on February 17 and lost by a score of 20-0. The bouts each lasted eight minutes. “Y” College was victorious by winning one fall and five decisions. In a return meet at Armour on February 24 “Y” College was again the victor by a score of 24-5. This time they had to their credit three falls and three decisions, while our only points were made by Eisenberg, who threw his man. On March 26 the boxing team traveled away to engage in a meet with Culver Military Academy. We were beaten, winning only one bout. Two of our men did not show up for this meet, and as a result we were greatly handicapped. More interest would probably be shown by the student body if a few more meets could be arranged, especially with local schools. The season can hardly be called successful, due to the fact that the limited number of meets made a comparison impossible. Two Hundred Twenty-six Swanson, Miller, Jammer, Wcisfeerg. Cohen.

Cycloid, with a well placed shot in the infinitesimal incre- ment. Elliptic had been mingling with dif- ferential equations, and consequently was in a bad humor when he got home last night. In order to try to make her husband forget his evil companions. Cycloid arose early this morning and fried a half dozen rectangular sub- tangents. which her husband loved so well. Having finished preparing the breakfast she carelessly shook Ellip- tic's eleventh derivative to awaken him. Enraged he cried, “That's a h------1 of a way to wake a guy up,” took care- ful aim with his reversible involute, and touched off the fuse. It reversed. The State’s Attorney places the blame directly on Mrs. Integral, be- cause she should have let Elliptic get his own breakfast. MELODIOUS MUTILATION By Matilda Taffyapplc This bit of descriptive efflorescence is intended primarily to be applied to the old Scandinavian folk song “Bud- weiser,” but I feel sure that it may be used with equal success on any other low grade musical score. As the overture opens the faint wail- ing of a sublimated Jews-harp drifts in on the eerie wings of night. As a mother wampus croons a simple lul- laby to all the little wampii. as the silver moon delicately sheds its azure rays, so the heartstrings of the audi- ence play a lilting counter melody, which blends in increasing ecstasy with the instrumental splendor. It is dawn. As it slinks in on an elongated chirping of the troml one we feel the rising throb of hatred. It is a slow passion burning almost unseen in an oppressed people. Now it gath- ers strength, gathers inertia, gathers momentum, gathers anything else that happens to be handy, and leaps fear- lessly to a climax as an innocent pian- issimo is captured by a bold, bad fort- sundo, and dragged pitilessly to his lair, inhabited by dragons and dusky, dehydrated decrescendos. Lying bruised and broken on the cold stone floor, poor Pianissimo dreams of the home of her childhood, lilting light, lissome lyrics of its naive beauty, like the odor of earthworms come up to die after a heavy rain. But not yet is Pianissimo lost. A forgot- ten lover, Allegro Absurdi, stands be- neath her window, and with the voice of an unhappy flute sings of his de- votion. Pianissimo awakes in a veri- table pistaschio of tone, only to find her lover dead. Slowly from the air she draws a pal- pitating virtuoso, with which she stabs herself. As the climax mounts to ex- otic heights we hear the roaring harp, and the scintillating, tintinnabulating tympani, predicting a few more deaths if the thing doesn’t stop pretty soon. . Well placed shot in the Infinitesimal increment.” Two Hundred Twenty-nine HUMOR DEATH COMES TO JELLO CULTIVATOR Saleratus V. Beansprout, famous throughout the land as a pioneer jello cultivator, yesterday passed on to his reward. His death will bring tears to the eyes of countless kiddies all over the country who have come to love the picture on the box of that nationally known desert which bears the slogan “From Happy Horses.” Beansprout advanced the jello in- dustry from a mere matter of chance to a pure science. Starting life as a hostler he had an unusual opportunity to study at close hand the raw material of the industry which he was to make famous. It soon became apparent to the keen young man that there was an appalling lack of foresight in the business; so lie began to breed horses expressly for shipment to the existing gelatine fac- tories. Soon the country-side was dot- ted with his gelatine ranches. From this point it was a short step to owner- ship of his own factories and virtual control of the industry. His greatest fame came through his shrewd development of flavor on the hoof. One herd was kept on a rasp- berry diet for seventeen generations, resulting in a very lasting flavor. Other varieties were developed in a similar manner. The climax of his career came with the successful cross- breeding of the raspberry and lemon strains, resulting in a delectable new flavor. Death, although it came suddenly, and by accident, had long been ex- pected by his close friends. He was mistaken for one of his horses and shot. JAIL BREAK ALARMS ANCIENTS Way back when men were husky and their habits all were rough, there lived a lad called Samson, who grew up rather tough. He ne'er had malnu- trition. for whenever they'd start dish- in up the grub his ma was wishin’ that some day he'd get enough. He was tossed from kindergarten, so he never had much chance to polish up his cuss words, or even learn to dance. Sam got a reputation that sure spread consternation, as a civic decoration he was looked upon askance. He pes- tered the town marshal till he beat bumps on Sam’s hide and pulled most of his hair out, with his manly strength beside. But in the jail his hair grew handsome, so he pushed aside a col- umn. crying out in accents solemn— “Too late for Hcrpecide.” opportunity to study.......raw material Two Hundred Thirty : EH5«rSycle ASK ME ANOTHER!

Mr. Armstrong Huttdumb. who, five years ago, owed alimony in seven states, and was suffering from fallen arches, dandruff, housemaid's knee, double pneumonia and diabetes (in addition to having broken his last pair of shoestrings!), but who is now a reformed paint manufacturer, tried this list, and scored a neat par 72. According to Mr. Huttdumb. the second nine was easy—it was the first that caused the murder.

The hen mosquito sets on the eggs on the bottom of some swiftly flowing steam. After several weeks, the eggs hatch, and the young tadpoles emerge. They are about the size and shape of a football, and the color of Thirty- third Street. They hibernate all win- ter. and in the spring are strong enough to clamber up the bank and unfold their gorgeous wings. A mosquito is a gentle creature, living on grass and creating no dis- turbance. It has no way of making noise, and consequently is a quiet com- panion. SPRINGTIME MATH 1.
