Under the guidance of Prof. Freeman, the Department of Electreial Engineering has kept pace with the great expansion of the electrical industry. Besides maintaining the high standard of his department, he devotes a great deal of his time to research work. He is now engaged in investigations con- cerning the measurement of mechanical quantities by electrical integrating methods. To Professor Heed is largely due the credit for making the Armour Archi- tectural course one of the foremost in the country. His marked abilities have been recognized far and wide, as witness his recent appointment to the Wash- ington Plan Commission, whose object it is to lay out the new north section of the nation's Capital to conform to the rest of the city. In conjunction with Messrs. Smith and Burnham, he is also redesigning the Burnham Library at the Art Institute. Prof. Paul, head of the Mechanics Department, is greatly respected for the helpful interest he displays in student activities and for his interesting and clear presentation of Ins Mechanics courses. He is a mechanical engineer of considerable note, maintaining a consulting practice, his specialty being industrial building construction. He has also served in editorial capacities on several of the leading engineering journals. Dr. Cooper is best known to outsiders as a contributor to Modern Language Notes and to the Manly Anniversary Volume . He is also an active member of the Modern language Association of America. Since coming to Armour in 1909, Prof. Cooper has built up the English Department into an extremely essential part of the curriculum. It will probably be news to many of us to hear that Prof. Phillips, who has been head of the C. E. Dept, at Armour since 1887, was the organizer of the Civil Department at Purdue in 1887, and served as head there until '94. Prof. Phillips, who is the author of several engineering treatises, makes a specialty of the design and construction of city water-works systems, sewage systems, and street pavements. Prof. Alpred E. Phillips Prof. Charles E. Paul Prof. Clyde B. Coopf.r Prof. Ernest H. Freeman Prof. Earl H. Reed These ten men, together with Dr. Raymond, Dran Penn, Dran Palmer and Prof. Perry, comprise the Committee on Educational Policy. It it for their fine character, outstanding ability as educators,and breadth of interest in school activities, that ice honor them. Twenty-three

His kindly spirit and personality even now cling to the halls of the Institute, and the tradition of his presence will linger long in the old school. Twenty-five
