Claude Irwin Palmer lln flftcmcrtam The sudden and unexpected death of Dean Claude Irwin Palmer was a great shock to the faculty, students, and alumni of Armour Institute of Technology. Indeed it came with all the force of a stunning blow to all the friends of our beloved Institute and has left a sense of personal loss and bereavement that is in itself a high tribute to the sterling worth and fine personal qualities of Professor Palmer. There remains in our hearts the feeling of a void that only Time can heal. The students have lost a faithful friend and wise counsellor; the faculty, a dear comrade; the In- stitute, an able executive and a splen- did teacher; the mathematical world, the author of many of the best text- books on the market. All alike lament the early termination of so useful a life and so fine a career. This fine flower of American culture has been cut down by the grim reaper. But its fragrance will still linger with us. Its beauty has left an inalienable inheritance. II n flfcemonam Dr. Alfred Edward Phillips came to Armour Institute of Tech- nology in 1899 to become the first head of the Department of Civil En- gineering, and he continued that work with outstanding success until his death in April of this year. He had great native ability and this was backed by successful experience both as a teacher and as a practicing engin- eer. While known in the profession as an able engineer he enjoyed teach- ing, and his principal energies were given to his students and to the school he loved. Men who had the privilege of studying under Professor Phillips will remember his profound scholar- ship, his sympathetic interest in his students, his thoughtfulness and eagerness to be helpful, his highly developed sense of humor, his won- derfully pleasing personality, and above all, his devotion to high ideals. His friends generally will keep him in loving remembrance for the same qualities of character that endeared him to his students. We all feel an irreparable loss in the passing of this great teacher, this kindly gentleman, our good friend. Alfred Edward Phillips IN MEMCEI4M Jesse G. Fraser CLASS OF 1913 Duane L.

Nu- merous individuals, styled in-bloc ‘‘the faculty,” having divested them- selves of their cloaks of office, their professional airs, or what have you, emerge individually or in small groups from their various dens of iniquity, sniff the atmosphere of freedom, take on a new lease of life, and betake themselves to a common destination. ‘‘Long John” lumbers down the stairs entirely oblivious of his arduous du- ties just laid aside, and meditates over the most recent addition to his reper- toire that he may be prepared, should the occasion become propitious. “John, the Baptist,” slinks unsuspect- ingly forth to possibly change his role to that of “Daniel in the Lions’ Den.” Machinery Hall heaves a sigh of relief when it becomes relieved of the many weighty characters who now venture forth, including none other than that august gentleman, the “General” and the redoubtable Pete, the politician. Others, no less prepossessing, pass in review. But— a blast of trumpets; the doors of Main Building open, and the Officers of Administration make their appear- ance: With measured tread and stately mien, They venture forth upon the scene. Not a single action must belie The college, they personal; Their present state, one would not think Could be transferred in just a wink. All are arrived. They become dis- persed, individually and severally. Some seek entertainment through the medium of the radio, or through read- ing or perusing the periodicals avail- able. Others are seated around the billiard table witnessing a contest that is replete with skillful, daring and safe plays. The players are ridiculed, criticized, admonished, directed and Tu tuty-eight OF 19 3 1 ► FACULTY CLUB applauded by the onlookers at any or all times. Otherwise conversation, discussion, or argumentation waxes supreme. Subjects, political, eco- nomic, social, historical, or technical are brought before those assembled generally by some insidious charac- ter, and are discussed by both those informed and those uninformed. One subject gives way to another in rapid succession. You can help yourself to any or all of them either audibly or silently. Yours is an unfettered, a free state or existence in a very be- clouded atmosphere, however. But there is a villain in every story. He enters the room, casts a furtive glance at those present. A peculiar grin comes over his face. It bespeaks evil. He moves stealthily over to a steel cabinet and procures several en- velopes, which he deftly fingers. Oh, yes; he is the collector of internal revenue, R. V. P., and this is the first of the month, his accounts are pre- pared, and he is setting forth to exact tribute from the unsuspecting vic- tims for the tobacco and billiards which they have enjoyed during the previous month. He moves slyly around the room, eyeing his prey, lest he try to escape. But little or no chance of that. He is upon him, and presently Eighty-seven cents, please.” Having relieved him of a goodly share of his worldly posses- sions, he passes on to further appease his appetite through the discomfiture of another of his brethren. The magazines are tossed back to the table. The radio is turned off. The conversation dies down. The congregation dwindles away. They are returning to their various duties according to their schedules. Few re- main in the Faculty Club. T ucuty-nine i THE CYCLE Palmer, Penn. Phillip . Gcbhardt, Scherger Wilcox. McCormack.

Schommer The Armour Alumni Association was organized in the early nineties and has ever since had as a goal the thought to perpetuate friendships made in college and to give increased facilities for making new friends among Armour Alumni; to keep in touch with one another for social and business connections and forever striving to advance the general in- terests of Armour Tech. This body exemplifies the thought that four of a man’s best years are spent while he is in college and the friendships and ideals that he makes during this period he will always wish to perpetuate. It is this senti- ment that keeps the Alumni Associa- tion the strong body it is today, its flame kindled by all the young men who have carried “The message to Garcia.” The Association promulgates its activities and objectives by a group of active officers, which are a presi- dent, vice - president and secretary- treasurer. The officers are aided by two separate groups respectively called the board of managers and the advisory council. The alumni association fosters monthly luncheons held at the En- gineers’ Club. These affairs are for the purpose of keeping the organiza- tion together, for the cultivation of old friendships and for making new friends by bringing the older and younger alumni together.

Richardson usually talks on some interesting sub- ject at these luncheons. The Bismarck Hotel was the scene of the banquet and business meeting on December 17, 1930. Officers for the coming year were elected. John J. Schommcr, ’12, who held the office of president during the past year, was again elected to that position. James C. Matchett, ’07, and Louis Hirsh, ’14, were also reelected to the posi- tions of vice-president and secretary- treasurer respectively. The position of executive secretary formerly held by J. Warren McCaffery was dis- continued. Two new men, E. F. Pohl- man, ’10 and J. A. Whittington, ’14, were chosen for the Board of Man- agers thereby replacing H. C. Davies, Advisory Council Alfred S.

Griffenhagen’s seat on the Advisory Council. At this time it was voted to com- bine the two annual meetings, which have been held in the spring and fall, into one annual banquet and election of officers, this affair to be held in December of each year. Instead of customary “speeches,” short snappy talks were given by Doctor Raymond and Dean Palmer. The remainder of the evening was h’mited to general round table discus- r'ons among the young and younger “grads.” The meeting was brought to a close with the showing of five reels of motion pictures.

As freshmen, the members of the class of ’3 1 entered Armour Institute of Technology, hopeful, but untrain- ed. Immediately, the professors took them in hand. Then began the long struggle for existence. Fortunately, what was lost in freedom was gained in ability. The first social event of the class, the Freshman Informal, with the Class Rush, did much to re- lieve the grind and monotony of the college life. Unfortunately, in this year of struggle, many who could not survive the rigors were lost. The second year was entered more cautiously. It was soon ap- parent that the achieve- ments of the first year had been over-valued, for the members of the class of 31 soon found that the second year imposed tasks that were still more dif- ficult to accomplish. To balance this, however, was the fact that the class was more prepared, and the habits of study had already been formed. Nevertheless, it was with a sigh of relief that the second year was left behind. In the third year, the class of ’3 1 began to entrench on the basis of the fundamentals learned during the first two years. Also, the members began to seek the specialties of their selected lines. With this, the work became more interesting as it was of a more practical nature. During this year, more time was devoted to the extra- curriculum activities and the social side of college life. Contacts with practicing engineers brought to the members through the various engin- eering societies proved to be very beneficial. The year reached a climax Link Announcement Committee Arthur H.

O’Connor Rudolph Patzelt Albert F. Wilde Forty-Eight THE CLASS OF 1931 OF 19 3 1 ► with Junior Week, during which the Junior reigned supreme. The class of ’31 then girded itself for the final advance. The class made rapid progress through the engineering applications of the scientific principles previously studied. It was quite apparent that the mass of the text books had greatly increased. But with the in- crease in learning came also the so- cial activities. The Senior Informal brought to a fitting close the social affairs of the class. Finally, for one brief week, the class of ’3 1 enjoyed the special pre- rogatives which occur only once dur- ing the college course. At the Bac- calaureate Sermon, expert advice was given on matters not covered in the engineering courses. With Com- mencement Day came the well- earned reward of four years of en- deavor. Then came the final depart- ure. Each felt with regret that he was no longer an active member of Armour Institute, but had been transferred to the alumni roll. The placing of these names on the alumni roll represent- ed the goal of each one when he entered as a Fresh- man, but now that this has been achieved, each is looking forward to the placing of his name on other rolls. It is not known what these may be, neither is it known which mem- bers of this class will de- velop engineering achievements. Looking both forwards and back - wards, each individual member of the class realizes that the campus struggles have given him a founda- tion upon which to go ahead and take his part in the social and economic organization of the world. Future progress will necessarily be worked out individually. Problems may not come as neatly labeled as formerly, and a guide may not be at hand, but the members of this class are con- fident that they can now proceed into the engineering field. There is also the realization that much of their engineering knowledge will necessarily be recast and adjusted to meet the particular situations. W. Drigot Jewelry Committee Theodore R.

Sixty-four JUNICE CLASS THE CYCLE THE CLASS OF 1932 The class of 3 2 has now passed through the third collegiate year of its war against engineering funda- mentals. As might be ex- pected, there are not so many membersas formerly, for various rigors and haz- ards have been encountered and these in turn have ex- acted their usual toll. Through this experience the members of the class are beginning to realize what it will mean to enter the cruel, merciless world of business competition after departing from the friendly walls of Armour Institute of Technology. Using the knowledge of calculus, physics, and mechanics gathered in the sophomore year, the class bravely en- countered the problems in the engi- neering subjects. Theory in the basic subjects now has a greater significance in actual engineering ap- plication. Although the class realizes that it is trav- illing the road which is well marked and well policed by the faculty, yet it believes that it has com- pleted the lap with due credit to itself. ’32 men have carried the spirit of the class, and all have been eager to elevate the school’s good name by sup- porting every activity. Although not successful in securing champion- ships in interclass athletics, the fact that the other classes did not have an easy time winning the contests clearly indicated that the defeats were not due to a lack of enthusiasm or .

Athletes from this class have been prominent on all varsity teams. Besides its athletic ability, the junior class has shown its skill in other activities. It has been well represented in the various musical or- ganizations. Some of the members have had engi- neering experience in stresses in strings, much to their discomfort, while trying to lull a melody from a refractive instru- ment. Other members have shown their literary ability in the various publications of the Institute. These young hopeful journalists were given the opportunity to prove their true genius by positions on the staffs of the Armour Tech News, the Armour Engineer, and the Cycle. In all prob- ability, the training thus gained will serve in good stead when these men, on entering business, will be forced to write reports, so distasteful to the average engineer. The junior class has given its most hearty support to the various en- gineering societies, as it fully realizes that contact with engineers engaged in actual practice should be a part of an engineering education. The ex- periences of these well-known engin- eers in overcoming the various dif- ficulties that continually arise in ac- tual practice provides a knowledge and inspiration that cannot be secur- ed from any text-book.

Thus, we may say that the class of ’32 has been well represented in extra curri- culum activities. Although it is well known that the primary object at any engineering school is to become fa- miliar with the elements of engineering, the junior class realized that it was unwise to ne- glect the social aspect of college life. As it is customary to reserve mention of the best things until the last, let us dwell a moment upon the great social event of the year, the Junior Prom. In accordance with the precedent of ac- complishing things, established by the junior class, the annual dance was a huge success. On an early May eve- ning the class cast aside its academic troubles, and gathered together to dance to the hyphenated, synco- pated rhythms of the best orchestra in Chicago. Sec- ond to the Junior Formal was the Junior Informal, held on January 16 at the Steuben Club. Here, again, the junior class proved its engineering ability in the production of a larger and better dance. Each member of the junior class begins to realize that it is now time to take an inventory of his ability. There is still one year to go, but with the passing of that year the oppor- tunities of student life and activities of the Institute will be placed behind. It is now necessary for each one to • . A.

Individual attention to this while there is yet time means much in the cumulative achievement of this class during the ensuing year. It is the duty of the class of ’32 to continue its education in the field of practical ap- plication of the fundamentals already gained, so that it may move into the work in the field of engineering left by our fellow engineers who have pre- ceded the class, and to do that work with the grace, ease, and skill befit- ting a successful engineer. Next year, the members of the class of ’32 will sit in the seats pro- vided for the seniors. With the ability and interest already demonstrated by the class of ’32, the Insti- tute can expect to have a senior class next year which will furnish the professors an opportunity for applying educational theory. The class of ’32 assures all that it will par- ticipate and plunge for- ward into the activities which an- other year may bring forth. Many men who were just raw products on entrance to Armour have blossomed into powers in the various ramifications of the school. As juniors they distinguished them- selves but most of all their achieve- ments have been emblazoned in the shining history of Armour. T. A.

A SCPUCMCRE CLASS THE CYCLE THE CLASS OF 1933 The class of 33 now stands midway in its col- legiate career. Like Janus, the Roman god, having two faces, the class has now the right and the op- portunity to look both ways. It has left behind the trials and tribulations of the first two years; it is facing the privileges of upper classmen. Now that the first two years of a collegiate career have passed, some intangible advantages may be re- counted. These two years have per- mitted the members of the Class of ’3 3 to learn to work together and to grow into the spirit and traditions of Armour Institute. Strangers have become friends and classmates. A spirit of cooperation has been developed. At times, this spirit has reached such a high degree as to cause strenuous objections from the professors. Greater ability to analyze each problem that arises has come to each member of the class. With these add- ed advantages, the class of ’33 presses forward to the work of the next two years during which time these friendships will be further strengthened and a deeper feeling of loyalty to Armour will continue to flourish and grow. As freshmen, the members of the class became acquainted with the routine of college life. As the new- ness and strangeness of this life wore Seafuri, Citlak, Alexander, Dumscr, Demiki . Jeffery.

The class emerged from the freshman year, fewer in number, but with an in- creased knowledge of sci- ence and mathematics. Like others who had gone through the sopho- more year, the members of the class of ’33 started out with their show of high hats, for had not they survived the freshman year. Somehow, this feel- ing of superiority soon disappeared. The courses of the sophomore year made the subjects taken while fresh- men seem quite elementary. The men of ’33 delved into those mysteri- ous signs of calculus with a zest but it was with a sigh of relief that this subject was left behind. Physics, emphasizing this changing world of ours, offered some troubles at first, but by perseverance these difficulties were fin- ally overcome. During this period, the members of the class learned of the versatility of the slip- stick” to make calcula- tions, both correct and in- correct. During its short time at Armour Institute, the class of ’3 3 has accom- plished much in creating that feeling of fellowship among its members. Each feels that the class will do its share in upholding the traditions and standards of the school, as well as add- ing new and higher ones. Already, W. II.

Stvtnly-lbrft THE CYCLE THE CLASS OF 1933 the members of the class realize the responsibility that will all too soon rest upon their shoulders. They arc determined to have the proper preparation, so that they may be more than mere sales engineers. In athletics, the class of ’33 has had great ambi- tions, for have not other college boys vaulted their way into fame and fortune by their athletic prowess. Already, the soph- omore class has shown its ability along this line by placing several of its members on the varsity teams. As a result, these teams are possessed of a more determined spirit because of the presence of sophomore candidates whom they know will be capable of carrying their responsibil- ities in the future years. While the class of ’33 did not win any interci ass titles, it has had the satis- faction of knowing that its opponents were pressed to their limit before final- ly conquering it. Being a versatile group, the men of ’33 realized that to get the most out of school life, they would have to be- come associated with the many or- ganizations of the Institute. It was apparent to each that mere technical training was insufficient for real ma- terial success. Hence, many of this class have secured positions on the various publications.

Sctfniy-four THE CLASS OF 1933 OF 19 3 1 ► various musical organiza- tions tended to prove that music has its charms, even for an embryo engineer. The class of ’33 proved its mettle by its victory- over the sophomore class in the Class Rush of 1930, after a spirited combat. It looks forward to the Class Rush of 1931, where it is determined to provide a sensation and set a precedent by over- throwing the freshman class. Now that the class of ’3 3 has passed its winter solstice, it is now ready to advance into the summer sun of en- gineering application of mathemati- cal and physical theories. They have received the first part of the engineer- ing training so essential for the suc- cessful engineer, and they fully appreciate the efforts of the instructors and pro- fessors in providing this training, although at times this effort apparently pro- duced no result. The class wishes to thank their pro- fessors for the interest they have taken in the va- rious members of the class. By now, each member fully realizes the responsibilities that he must assume upon becoming a full-fledged engineer, but this knowl- edge only causes him to resolve to continue his so-far successful strug- gle for knowledge. The Class of ’33 looks forward to its next two years at Armour Insti- tute with great interest. . T. Sorensen Bollinger, Krawitz, Meyer.

Scien y-fitt rCESHHAN CLASS 1 THE CYCLE THE CLASS OF 1934 Knocking at the gates for admission to an oppor- tunity for four years of hard work were more than eight-hundred men. From these, some two-hundred and fifty were chosen to represent the Class of ’34. It was a joyous day in Sep- tember when these chosen few first entered the Main Building of Armour Insti- tute of Technology, for the purpose of enrolling. This group at the first represented an unknown quantity, full of expectations and hopes, but with nothing proven. To the members of this class, the entrance was a radical change, and marked the beginning of another epoch in their lives. Soon, they found themselves over their heads in a sea of chemical and mathemati- cal terms. The class, how- ever, managed to with- stand these early storms of the Armour curriculum, and was soon striking out for calmer waters, tired but unbowed. On a clear autumnal evening in early October, the first freshman social function took place in the form of the Fresh- man Handshake. The Handshake was a momentous success in creating a feeling of welcome and friendship toward the newcomers. After the program given in the Assembly Hall, everyone feasted on doughnuts and apple cider. Koenig, Nelson, Johnson, Svoboda, Schmidt. Kastner, Raschke. McCurdy. Krol.

The combination of social ac- tivities and studies, how- ever, made sleep a compar- ative oddity, causing the studies to receive a tem- porary setback. Finally, there was the supreme social event, the Freshman Class Dance, held at the Illinois Women’s Athletic Club on April 24. It can be truthfully said that this event eclipsed all other social functions. The frosh were launched on their political careers on October 3, when they held their nominating assembly. Here, the candidates for the various offices were nominated amid raucous discussion and debate. At the general election, offi- cers were chosen to pilot the class through its first year, the interest of the class being shown by the large vote polled. The freshman class promptly proved its met- de in athletics by defeating a crack senior baseball team for the intcrclass title, although the senior line-up con- tained five varsity men. When the basketball season opened the frosh further exhibited their ability by conquering the sophomores, then snatching the interclass cage title from the confident juniors. Moved D. S.

Seventy-nine THE CYCLE THE CLASS OF 1934 by this impetus and tight- ening their belts for an even more crucial test, the freshmen look forward with confidence to the Class Rush. Here, they hope to uphold the tradi- tion established by previ- ous freshman classes, and give the sophomore class a sound defeat. Now that these impres- sive achievements have been present- ed, let us turn with an appreciative eye, and look for the future possibil- ities of this group. Undoubtedly, the freshman class contains an abun- dant supply of material for every school activity. Already this Class of 34 is repre- sented in almost every activity by men who are striving to do things which will be of credit to their class and school. The class will pro- vide a wealth of candi- dates for next year’s var- sity teams, candidates trained by experience gained in interclass com- petition. The class is also represented on publica- tions and in the musical organizations by those of literary or musical talent. And so, the Class of ’34 faces the next three years with a feeling of eager confidence and enthusiasm. It is undaunted by rumors of the grave difficulties that await it in its future training.

Eighty OF 19 3 1 ► THE CLASS OF 1934 at Armour Institute, and has secured a knowledge of the traditions and the spirit of Armour and the desire to uphold them. The first year has not seemed long, now that it has passed. The next three years will pass all too soon. In the light of the preced- ents set by those who have gone before, it shall follow the engineering route to its terminal. Not only will the Class of ’34 follow, but it will also strive to carry the banner of yellow and black to still greater heights. As the class progresses in its educa- tion, the members will more and more enter the various extra curricu- lum activities, and carry on the work of the various engineering societies, the school publi- cations, the varsity ath- letic teams and the mu- sical organizations. Thus they will realize the truth of Mr. Wright’s counsel, that through this added effort, contact with the prominent business men and engineers is secured. This will prove to be of great benefit when the young en- gineers leave college to enter the busi- ness world. The knowledge and prac- tical experience gained by working in these organizations will more than balance the time thus spent. Publica- tions, athletics, clubs, engineering so- cieties proved the most popular ac- tivities. R. Drum Stasiulit, Storey, Kolvc, Lanus, Murphy. McDonald. McGuan. Shaw.

Light-heartedness was contagious as twelve score, ten couples glided along the polished marble floor to the plaintive tunes and crisp jazz melodies of Jinx Bryant and his orchestra. And how the charming gowns of the fair sex were enhanced by the smart interior effects of the beautiful Steuben Club Ball Room. The lounges and the many nooks and corners of the club were welcome havens of rest when dancing was not the potent business. All in all Friday, January 16, 1931, will remain as cherished mem- ory to most of those who triped the light fantastic high above the din and roar of that ubiquitous evil, Chicago noise. Accouterment and parapher- nalia of engineers generally consists of high-tops, plaid shirts, slip stick, a weather beaten sombrero, thumbed and dirty blue-prints, a corn cob pipe, and corduroy trous- ers, but on the evening of May 22nd, Junior Prom Nitc, you would have seen a sight to behold. In the intriguing atmos- phere in the Hotel Knickerbocker, our ad- herents of the good Saint Patrick, adorned in rai- ment rather unfamiliar to conquerors of Nature, escorted their fair dam- sels with the most un- canny grace and non- chalance. But, why not? Those beau- tiful femmes had a restraining in- fluence on impulsive Willie and kept him from doing something rash, like extending his big calloused hand for some sweet miss to clutch and utter- ing simultaneously pleased to meet- cha.” Murmurs of Home was never like this” were heard from many an en- raptured soul as the gaily bespangled waiters served the six course dinner that was to serve as a bracer for the rest of the evening. A very intriguing favor added to the exclusiveness of the affair. The pen and pencil set which became per- manent possessions of the pulchritude were truly treasured gifts. It cer- tainly was a subtle innovation of the prom committee to offer the ladies. Anyhow it was a great party. What more could be said. Ninety-four FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES OF 19 3 1 ► Fifty gallons of apple juice plus six hundred and sixty doughnuts topped off the Freshman Handshake and started two hundred and sixty-three neophites on their journey through the labyrinth of mathe- matics, chem-mystery, et cetera with a fair concep- tion, at least, of what could be expected from the up- per classmen, faculty, and the place extra curriculum activities have at Tech. Before the cider and sinkers were in- dulged in, Armour Mission was caused to reverberate, from time to time, with vibrations emanating from the in- struments of Stresses and Strains, ap- plause for entertainers and speakers and the spontaneously incongruent singing generated by the yodeling body of Armourites. Drab days of Fall and Winter somewhat curtailed the activities of the Frosh, but after the respite from the long arduous study of the first semester, the freshman social com- mittee went to work with new vigor to produce a class dance and a func- tion to better acquaint the men of the 34 Class. Friday, the thirteenth of March, the Freshman Smoker became a reality. At the headquarters of the Western Society of Engineers, Engi- neering Building, more than a hun- dred of Armour’s embryo engineers enjoyed them- selves with smokes, delica- cies and music by a fifteen piece orchestra composed of the green” ones. To add to the dignity and jol- lification of the occasion Professor Schommer spoke on many points of interest in his wide experience and travel while Professor Wallace Bruce Amsbary extracted many a chuckle from the boys with his very unique presentations in litera- ture. Incidentally, the fags and smokes, gifts of Deans Palmer and Penn, helped smoke the boys up to a high pitch. Two hundred and fifty couples made merry at the informal dance staged under the auspices of the 1934 Class on Friday, April 24, in the ball- room of the Illinois Women’s Athletic Club. Social Chairman L. A. Callen and his committee should be congrat- ulated for formulating such excellent dance arrangements. Elmer Kaiser’s Northwestern Ramblers with their tantalizing melodies kept the males and their dainty guests in a rythmatic atmosphere the entire evening. Thus the Freshman social season ended with everybody happy and this class can always remember with pride, this, their first adventure into the social world. Niurly-fiit THE CYCLE You are cordially invited to be the guest of the Armour Tech Athletic Association of on INFORMAL DINNER givon in honor of The Athletes of the Armour Institute of Technology Thursday Evening, May the twenty-second nineteen hundred and thirty in the Adams Room of the Lake Shore Athletic Club Please present this cord Dinner served ot six-thirty The Adams Room, as the hour ap- proached six thirty on the evening of May 22nd, 1930, was replete with immaculately white table cloths, glittering silverware, posie bedecked tables and clusters of smart looking young men. Such was the Informal Dinner, given in honor of the ath- letes of Armour Institute of Tech- nology, began with the ushering up of the steaming delectables by the servants of the Lake Shore Athletic Club. There were present one hun- dred and twenty-five strapping young figures from the various athletic teams, managers, the Board of Ath- letic Control, coaches, faculty and members of the student publications. Armour’s popular musical organiza- tion, Stresses and Strains, offered a number of current hits. Professor Philip Huntly, President of the Board of Athletic Control and toastmaster for the occasion, started things rolling with a short welcoming address. Dr. Raymond, Director of Athletics John J. Schommer, Dean Palmer and Mr. Allison spoke on va- rious phases of athletics. The banquet struck a more serious vein when W. King Simpson, Presi- dent of the A. T. A. A. and captain of the baseball and basketball teams in his senior year, gave an inspiring talk on What Athletic Competition Meant To Me.” An element of surprise was injected into the program with the appearance of several vaudeville performers after which motion pictures of an interest- ing nature were shown. The banquet had more than usual significance, however, for it was defi- nitely shown that those controlling the destinies of Armour have the in- terest of athletics at heart. Ninety-six OF 19 3 1 ► INTERHONORARY BANQUET •'. 3. Alt wood The annual Interhonorary Ban- quet was staged at the Hotel Sher- man on December 19, 1930. Many professors sat as guests around the banquet table together with about seventy-five of the honorary society men. President Howard Monroe Ray- mond presided at the dignified affair, and after the usual formalities turned the assembly over to the guest speak- er, Dr. Allen D. Albert, Associate Director of the Century of Progress Exposition. Dr. Albert’s dissertation com- manded the closest attention of the undergraduates. His discussion of architectural design and the general plans of the Century of Progress thoroughly fascinated his audience. The banqueters slipped out of their intensive receptive mood when Pro- fessor Amsbary presented a number of his sparkling French-Canadian recitations. This very successful get-to-gether was concluded with the showing of several rolls of films. When scholars, athletes, literary lights and men from the musical so- cieties of Armour Institute get to- gether, a great time is had by all. Such was the case when the Interhonorary Dance became a reality on the eve- ning of May first, within the confines of the Knickerbocker Hotel. Bobby Woodruff and his orchestra supplied the rhythm which was the necessary accelerating medium to put the dance over with a loud bang. Ninttysevtn JUNIOR WEEI THE CYCLE JUNIOR WEEK 1930 Henson, Austin, Janies, Schinner, Jens Junior Week, the One week of the thirty-six which make up the aca- demic year at Armour, was held on the second week of May, 1930. Baseball, tennis, track, interfraternity athletics, Open House, the Home Concert and Stunt Day comprised the activities chucked into one hectic period. Old Sol beamed from the heavens in a most satisfactory manner on the twelfth of May, to usher in Junior Week and Open House Night. On tap, Wednesday afternoon, at three, the Lake Forest diamond aggregation, always an excellent baseball team, scintillated before a large crowd. Tech, however, with Simpson in form, mowed down the oppo- sition for thirteen in- nings. No decision was reached and the final score was one apiece. On that warm Thurs- day afternoon, the vari- ous social fraternities on the campus congregated for the Annual Interfra- ternity Track and Field Meet.

After a strenuous two hours of competition, Beta Psi Fraternity suc- ceeded in capturing the silver cup for its mantel. Mi ran of the same house was the outstanding star of the meet. An enthusiastic crowd assembled tha t evening in Armour Mis- sion to enjoy the Annu- al Home Concert. All of Armour’s musical or- ganizations participated with gratifying results. The fraternities had their fling, too, in the form of the Interfrater- nity Sing. Traditional songs were rendered by each fraternity. Phi Pi Phi enrap- tured the audience with its rendition of the Phi Pi Phi Dream Girl” and carried off first honors and a silver cup to boot. Circus Day, the day of days, which is the most rollicking of the week, furtively crept up on the student body, but every one concerned was prepared. After the first hours’ classes had become history, mem- bers of the class relay teams dashed for the field house to don their track trappings in prep- aration for the Inter- class Relay. A bitter One Hundred One THE CYCLE JUNIOR WEEK 1930 An Infense Struggle for One of the Sacks struggle was waged by the Juniors and Freshmen until one of the Jun- iors decided to oblige the Frosh with a diving act into the cinders. After lunch the Freshmen under Vic Gustafson gathered at Ogden Field as did Rodger Waindle and his Sophomore adherents. In the mean- time the loaded straw sacks and sand bags were being stacked in midfield. After each shirt tail and bruised shin had been accounted for, the Fresh- men were declared victors by a score of 26 bags to 22. A fitting climax for all the revelry which preceded it was the Fraternity Sigma Kaf f a Delta—Winner of the Pageant and the Presidents' Trophy One Hundred T tt o JUNIOR WEEK 1930 Start of the Interfraternity Relay Pageant, presented to an appreciative audience within the Ogden Field en- closure. Each fraternity displayed its histrionic presentations and some of the skits provoked rounds of applause from the guests. The Annual Scramble” offered by Sigma Kappa Delta was a novel sketch depicting prcvclant methods of attracting de- sirable individuals into fraternity life and the judges were unanimous in awarding the Presidents’ Trophy to them. Beta Psi’s Straw Market Re- view” and Phi Kappa Sigma’s Sailor Beware” also were unusually face- tious. Part of the Crowd that Viewed the Events of Circus Day O-if Hundred Three THE CYCLE SUMMER CAMP 1930 Once in every civil engineer’s life comes the time when he must leave home and his loved one (s) to spend six weeks in Summer camp, ex- periencing the trials and tribulations of a surveyor’s existence. Accordingly, on Friday, June 13, twenty-one hopeful young engineers left the Union Station bound for Trout Lake in the wilds of northern Wisconsin. The jinx of Friday the thirteenth overshadowed their journey and it was not until mid-af- ternoon Saturday that the entire group, crying wildly against the din- ing car robbers, reached Camp Arm- our and demolished, with great gusto, the lunch prepared for them. What remained of the afternoon was spent in making hurried preparations for the first night in camp. Sunday, a day of rest, was spent in familiarizing themselves with the camp and its surroundings and be- coming thoroughly settled in the tents on the hill. Fishermen enthusi- astically took out tackle and lures and threatened the inhabitants of Trout Lake with several kinds of death. New camp clothing, fitted for battlingbrush and woods, was broken in” and the boys began to feel like Daniel Boone.” Actual work started bright and early Monday morning with the simple problem of taping distances. From then until July twenty-sixth work was the order of the day. Problems including leveling, angle measurement, triangulation, location of bridge piers, (over an imaginary river), topography, area mcasurc- Ont Hundred Six SUMMER CAMP 1930 OF 19 3 1 ► merits, a land survey, and railroad location made up the summer’s work. The first Sunday of the camp pe- riod was the occasion of the visit of Dean Palmer with six other Armour professors. Contrary to custom and much to their regret, they brought no offering of fish to the camp. In the afternoon the annual horse-shoe match was played and was enjoyed by those who sat in the shade and watched the others toss the shoes. Youth counted, even in barnyard golf, and the profs were vanquished. Ordinarily, Sunday marked some- thing of an exodus from camp. Sev- eral fellows found occasion to visit the hotel in Sayner while others took in the baseball game at Boulder Junc- tion. The threats of the fishermen were not accompanied by actual deeds to any large extent, a majority of the fish caught being of the watch charm variety. In general the time was spent quietly with very little disturbance, so that the six weeks passed rapidly. Yet everyone was pleased when camp was over and the time came for camp to be broken and for the return to Chicago. On July twenty - sixth, twenty-one tanned and healthy em- bryo engineers descended on an un- suspecting Chicago. All who attended camp agreed that the experience was very pleasant and a very valuable one. The experience gained by work under conditions which are sometimes very difficult furnishes a guide for future action in actual practice after graduation. One Hundred Seven ATH ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION THE CYCLE SCHOMMER’S MESSAGE A football player crouches behind the straining backs of seven men. A ball is snapped, a terse moment—the rush and clash of physical contact. In a few seconds a pigskin has been ad- vanced so many yards— and is then stopped. Within the same brief in- t e r v a 1, comparatively speaking, a man may die in China, a baby be born in Nome, a row of corn husked in Iowa. Man has always asked — What is it all? What does it mean—if any- thing? And so likewise we ask, What is the purpose of a College Education? Has athletics any value in a College Education?” National educators agree that to- day instead of the old 3R” rule as an objective for a college education, the well trained man is he who first has the physical stability and then the mental capacity to lead him through life. This is shown by the leading criterions in the field of education. The National Education Associa- tion on the Reorganization of Sec- ondary Education has listed the fol- lowing seven objectives of what an education should consist: health, command of fundamental processes, vocation, citizenship, worthy home membership, worthy use of leisure time and ethical character. The North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges is even more emphatic in listing the objectives of education, as follows: First, the ultimate objec- tive is to maintain health and physical fitness; to use leisure time in the right way; to sustain suc- cessfully certain definite social relationships such as civic, domestic, community, etc.; to engage in exploratory vocational activities. Second, the immediate ob- jective is the acquiring of fruitful knowledge; development of atti- tudes, interests, motives, ideals and appreciations; the development of definite mental techniques in mem- ory, imagination, judgment, and rea- soning; acquiring right habits and useful skill. Thus it is shown that a sound mind in a sound body is the terminal of all endeavor. Everyone should set such a goal; and as it changes from a vision to a reality, unconsciously push it higher and higher to the ut- most of one’s ability, always remem- bering the old adage, Rome was not built in a day.” John .

Munday in 1922. The prime duties of the A.T. A. A. are: to foster athletic teams and contests; to sponsor mu- sical concerts and as- semblies; to advise in and to direct publication work; and in general, to assist in all matters per- taining to student life at Armour In- stitute of Technology. Management of the association is vested in a Board of Control consist- ing of the administrative officers of the Institute, three members of the faculty, and four student members, who are the officers of the A.T. A. A. To create a unified Armour spirit in all activities by attempting to or- ganize them so that the greatest num- ber of students might receive benefits from them is an object of the A. T. A. A. The organization is continual- ly bringing about desirable changes in the school for the betterment of student social life and activities. At the present time, basketball, boxing, golf, swimming, tennis, and track are maintained by the A.T.A.A. funds. Baseball is supported under the former Armour ath- letic fund, but receives some aid from the Asso- ciation. Publications, too, are listed as a part of the organization. The Armour Engineer, the Cycle and just recently the Armour Tech News, are under the jurisdiction of the A.T. A. A. Musical clubs which include the Glee club, the combined band and orchestra, and Stresses and Strains con- stitute the musical activi- ties of the group. The Rifle club, be- cause of the competitive nature of its organization, is listed. Coaches, directors, and medical ex- penses for athletic teams are main- tained by the A.T. A. A. AY are awarded through the coaches recommendation and arc ap- proved by the officers of the Asso- ciation. These letters are given for earnest effort, excellency, ability, and strict adherence to training rules. To graduating major A” men the A.T.A.A. awards what are known as A” blankets. These are black foot- ball blankets with 16-inch yellow chenille letters attached. The Armour Tech Athletic Asso- ciation supports any move that will improve the student feeling and will create a better spirit at Armour. Clarence J. Robin Prendent T. t. 1.

Colvert took over the reins as tennis coach from Dr. C. A. Tibbals, who coached the squad for seven years. All of the major sports, although having longer and harder schedules than usual, came through with flying colors. Track, under the tutelage of Mr. Stagg, won the Mid-West Indoor Championship by winning five con- secutive meets, and the Second An- nual Armour Indoor Invitational meet, in which thirteen colleges and 120 athletes competed. W. C. Krafft coached the baseball team through another successful sea- son. The team won nine, tied one, and lost three games. Basketball, also coached by W. C. Krafft, had a more successful season than any in the past seven years at Armour. One Hundred Fif eei THE CYCLE VCcston. Wei , Larkin, DcOrio, Timmermans.

Weston The Honor A” Society, founded in the spring of 1914, as a governing body of athletics, is one of the oldest existing organizations at Armour In- stitute. When, in 1923, the Armour Tech Athletic Association was or- ganized for the purpose of regulating athletics, the Honor A” Society be- came an organization to promote in- terest in athletics, and to bring the athletes, coaches, students and alumni more closely together. The badge of the society is a gold A” charm. The fifth annual fall athletic re- union was held on December 9, 1930 at the New Southern Hotel im- mediately after the exciting alumni- varsity basketball game. Coach Krafft spoke about the present status of athletics at Armour. At the close, every one agreed that the banquet was a complete success. One Hundred Seventeen CASEC4LL 4 THE CYCLE BASEBALL 1930 Armour’s baseball team for 1 9 3 0 continued its championship stride of previous years by winning nine, tying one, and losing four games. Fifty candidates re- sponded to Coach Krafft’s first call for outdoor prac- tice on March 20. Previous to this time, the pitchers and catchers had practised indoors for nearly a month, and were already tuned up for batting practice. The veterans from the 1929 season were Captain Simpson and Stehno, pitchers; Link, catcher; Hauser and Anderson, the outfielders; Mago, Reichle, Robin, and Weldon, infield- ers. Official op en- ing of the base- ball season was on Thursday, April 10, when Arm- our decisively whipped Morton Junior College, 6-1, at Ogden Field. Simpson and Stehno, Tech hurlers, showed great form. New faces in the line- up were De Orio, catcher; Mi ran, short stop; Mi- chalski and Pcpc, outfield. Tech lost its first game to Notre Dame, 11 to 4, at South Bend on April 14. The train ride from Chicago, just before the game, caused the team to be erratic in the field, which accounted for the many errors chalked against Armour. Armour trimmed De- Kalb Teachers’ College, 4 to 3, at Ogden Field, April 24. Tech nearly succumbed to Thompson, DeKalb’s peerless mound ace, who yielded only four hits while striking out eleven men. Stehno, Armour’s ace, allowed the Teachers nine scattered hits, but held them helpless in the pinches. He struckoutten men, while King Simpson, who re- lieved him in the eigh t h inning, struck out three men. April 26th saw Tech register its third victory by defeating Lake Forest 6 to 3. Captain Simpson was in the pitch- er’s box for Arm- our. Armour de- Manager E. W. S jort One HunJrrJ T utn y OF 19 3 1 ► Cosme, Rowley, Drigot, O’Connor, Buchnc, Patla.

Pre- vious to this, the Normal nine had defeated the Uni- versity of Wisconsin team, Big Ten Champions in 1930. Simpson’s pitching was su- perb and Weldon did won- ders in the field. Miran’s home run in the ninth which scored Mago saved the day for Tech. Michigan State Normal of Ypsilanti, Michigan, lost to the almost invincible Armour squad the very next day, 8 to 5. Stehno held a comfort- able lead over the Michigan State nine throughout the entire game. In the return game with Western State at Armour, the Michigan boys I. Robin avenged their defeat of the week before when they col- lected the Armour scalp, 10-3. Krafft’s men out- classed the Normal nine in fielding and hitting in the first four innings and were well in front with a 3-0 lead, cutting their opponents short with a display of bril- liant fielding, when Simp- son’s pitching arm suddenly went wild in the fifth inning and allowed five runs to cross the home plate. Ogden Field, on Friday, May 9, was the scene of the second Armour - Michigan game. Stehno went the entire route State Normal game. Armour dupli- cated its former victory with a 10-6 score.

Armour clinched the game in the fourth in- ning by driving in five runs. It was marked by some well placed hits which eluded the Ypsi- lanti contingent with consistent regularity. Mago led off with a base hit, and was followed by Link, Anderson, and Pepe who also hit safely. Hauser walked. Robin hit a single but was out stealing sec- ond. Reichle sacrificed to left field and Weldon was out at first to end the inning. On May 12, the alumnidefeated the varsity team, 7-5, in a slow, ragged, and loose- ly played six inning game. John Yount, ’29, former catcher of ’28 and ’29, was largely re- sponsible for the vic- tory. He held the Tech team to five hits and struck out seven men. Otto Kuehn, playing first base for the Al- umni, featured with three two-base hits. Armour next met Lake Forest at Ogden Field in a thir- teen inning pitchers’ duel, that ended in a 1-1 tie, the game being called be- cause of rain and darkness.

Armour had three men on base in the tenth inning but failed in its scoring attempt when Robin struck out to re- tire the side. The inning was open- ed with a single by Mago. He then stole second and third base, while Link flied out to right field. Rcichle walked. Miran came to bat next, hit- ting to the third baseman who in turn threw the ball to the catcher when Mago attempted to score.

Tech lost its third game of the season on May 30 to the Univer- sity of Iowa nine at Iowa City, 21-1. Simp- son started the contest but was relieved in the fifth by Chief” Stehno. Simpson developed a foot infection while breaking in a pair of new shoes. This robbed him of his usual effec- tiveness in the Iowa game The season ended in a blaze of glory when Armour defeated the highly touted Coe College aggrega- tion at Cedar Rapids, 2-0. Stehno pitched airtight baseball, allowing but two hits and a single walk. He struck out nine men. Tech scored runs in the second and in the seventh innings. It was Mago’s hitting in both cases that was respon- sible for the scoring. In the second Mago hoisted a high fly to center field while Miran was resting on third base. After the catch, Miran romped home with the first score of the contest. Mago’s homer in the seventh was the longest drive in the park for the year. Although three men, Captain King Simpson, Reichlc, and Weldon will have been graduated, a very success- ful season is promised for 1931. . A. Dc Orio S. E. Pef c ARMOUR—i AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Not only did the team finish the sea- son undefeated, but it also scored twice the number of points as its nearest op- ponent in the Armour In- vitational Meet. In the initial dual track meet of the indoor season on Febru- ary 26, Armour swamped Morton Junior College, 56 to 16. The team won seven first places to Morton’s one. A clean sweep of places in the quarter and half mile runs clinched the meet for Tech. Sademan, a fresh- man, broke the school record in the two mile run held by Payne. He ran the dis- tance in 10:29.8 without being forced to extend himself. Cap- tain Paul and Sturm tied for high point honors by winning two first places each, Paul in the high jump, and shot put, and with Sturm winner in the 50 yard dash, and the 440 yard run. Armour decisively de- feated Loyola University, 50p2 to 3 5J 2, in the sec- ond indoor dual track meet at Bartlett Gymnasi- um on March 1st. Sademan, the freshman flash of Tech, again proved the star of the team by winning both the mile and two mile races. His time in the latter event was 10:15.8, four- teen seconds faster than his record breaking run of the previous meet. Captain Paul and Sturm each turned in a first and second place in their respective events. Winning six of nine first places, Armour’s track stars defeated Elm- hurst, 49 to 31, on March 8 for Tech’s third con- secutive indoor victory. Tech men copped all three places in the 50 yard dash, 440 yard run, and half-mile run. Captain Don Paul again took high point honors by winning both the shot put and the high jump. In Manager W. L.

Another freshman , Sorensen, surprised everyone by defeating Timmermans and Iverson in the half mile run. Sademan again won the two mile run after lapping the field. On March 15, Coach Lonnie Stagg took fifteen men to Ur- bana, Illinois, to participate in the 13 th annual Illinois Relay Carnival. Captain Don Paul showed his superiority as a shot putter by winning a gold medal as second place from a field of university and college stars. The list included: Weaver, Chi- cago; Bausch, Kansas; Brooks and Poorman, Michigan; Clausen, Min- nesota; Yuncvich, Purdue; and Behr and Guabah, Wisconsin. Paul had made the best perform- ance in the preliminary trials with a throw of 46 feet 6% inches, and it . . Kara was not until the last man, Bausch, had made his throw of 48 feet 4 inches that it was bettered. Behr of Wisconsin was third, and Weaver of Chicago, fourth. Tech relay teams failed to win any places in their events. Jens won a fourth place in his heat in the 7 5 yard dash. Armour completely outclassed Crane Junior College trackmen, 52- 29, on March 18 at Bartlett Gymnasium by copping six of nine first places. Kara won a first and second place in the 50 yard high hur- dles and the shot put respec- tively in this meet. Sturm being pushed by Fox and Hirsch broke the school record in the quarter mile.

A clean sweep was scored by Tech in the quarter mile run when Sturm, Fox, Hirsch and Helmick fin- ished in that order. Kara won first place in the fifty yard low hurdles beside placing third in the shot put, which was won by Captain Don Paul with a throw of 46 feet. Iverson won the half mile run and Timmer- mans came in third. Tech tracksters rose to greater heights than ever be- fore when they defeated 140 athletes representing 15 col- leges competing in the second annual Armour Tech Invita- tional Indoor Track meet held at Bartlett Gymnasiu m on March 29.

It may be considered so be- cause of the high caliber of the com- petition that the Tech men faced and the individual per- formances of the men. In the first dual meet of the year . e. Ramcl E. E. Slid cm an One Hundred Thirty-lu o OF 19 3 1 ► meet of the year Armour was defeat- ed by Wheaton College by the score of 6 5 -61. The meet was held at Stagg field on April 29. The Wheaton team scored a slam in the broad jump, which was the final event, and thus destroyed Arm- our’s four point lead which had been held throughout the day. Sturm ran exceptionally well and took first place in three events, the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and the 440 yard run. Paul took first place in the shot put and high jump. Luckett and Cordes were first in the pole vault and the javelin respec- tively. Captain Don Paul placed third in the shot put event at the Drake Relays held at Des Moines, Iowa, on April 26. Jim Bausch of Kansas took first in the finals with a heave of 49 feet 1 2 inches while Paul’s throw for third was 48 7% inches. On May 3, University of Chi- cago, by winning a majority of first and second places, won the First An- nual Armour Tech Outdoor In vita- K. S. Hirscb tional Track Meet at Stagg Field. Over 300 athletes, representing 13 neighboring col- leges competed in the meet.

One HunJrtJ Thirty-thru THE CYCLE BASKETBALL 1931 Armour’s 1931 basket- ball squad, ending the sea- son with eight victories and five defeats, created the best record of any Tech cage team for the past seven years. About forty men re- sponded to the call for basketeers early in No- vember. Coach Krafft had to build his team around a nucleus of five regulars from the pre- vious season, Captain C. J. Robin, H. C. Rossing, S. A. Ott, F. E. Rutkow- ski, and W. M. Miran. The first practice tilt was with the Bakelite Corporation Stars on De- cember 1. Armour emerged victori- ous, 3 3-24, and used twelve men dur- ing the game. On December 4, the University of Chicago de- feated Tech, 33- 2 0, in another scrimmage game. Both teams changed players consistently, in order to try out the new men. Tech’s showing was highly com- mendable. The Alumni Captain c. J. Robin were defeated 44- Coach W. C. Krafft 18, in their annual tilt at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Although the veterans, Hofer, Kuflfcl, Schumacher, Downes, and Manz, had a fast breaking, man to man, attack, they could not cope with the strategy of the varsity squad. Rossing starred throughout the game by making five baskets and two free throws. The yellow and black team won their second game by swamping Chi- cago Tech 31-13, December 11, at the Armory. The victors showed superior offensive and defensive tac- tics by holding their opponents to only three field goals during the en- tire game. Beem- sterboer, playing for Rossing at center during the second half, sank three baskets and one free throw to lead the scoring for Armour. Tech defeated Wheaton College, 36-33, to make the third con- secutive victory of the season at Eighth Regiment Armory. The Manager E. C. ErlanJ One Hundred Thirty-six OF 19 3 1 ► Owen.

Neither team had a substantial lead throughout the game. Wheaton’s marksmanship with free throws seriously menaced Armour’s chances for they suc- ceeded in sinking all of their thirteen free shots. Western State Normal of Kalamazoo emerged triumph- ant, 38-30, in their game with Armour. Although being de- feated for the first time, the Tech squad displayed a good brand of basketball against their undefeated opponents. Armour lost to Chicago Normal, 33-29, on January 8. Victory was in their grasp until the final three minutes of the game, when Normal sank long shots from various angles of the floor to win by four points. Tech’s players lacked the spirit and aggres- siveness that typified their style of play in the first four games. Miran and Ott led the scorers, making eighteen points between them. Y.M.C.A. College outscored Ar- mour, 38-24, at the Y”Gymnasium. The first half was closely contested throughout, ending 16-15 in favor of Y” College. During the final pe- riod Armour failed to make any serious threats to attain the victory. The brilliant playing and shooting of Wilson and Meyer clinched the game for Y”. They scored 27 points be- tween them. Augustana stopped Armour’s spirited rally in the second half of their game on January 15, at Rock Island, in time to win the contest, 34-30. Techmen made a poor showing during the first half, being on the short end of a 26-16 score. They opened the second half with brilliantly executed pass- ing plays, and succeeded in locating the hoop from all an- gles of the floor. Captain Ro- bin was high point man, sinking six baskets. Armour won its first basketball game away from home in two years by out- scoring Wheaton, 3 5-23, at the lat- ter’s gymnasium. Captain Robin led the attack by scor- ing 17 points, eight baskets and a single free throw before S.A.Ott •'. E. Ru kowski One Hundred Thirty-eight OF 19 3 1 ► 500 Wheaton fans. This is a record for scoring in any one game for Tech. Western State Normal upset Ar- mour for the second time this year by the large score of 60-28. Although the victors were leading by only six points at the start of the third quar- ter, they ran wild thereafter, sink- ing baskets from every angle. Ten Techmen made the trip to Michigan. St. Mary’s College was defeated, 27-22, before two thousand spectators at Orchard Lake, Michigan, for Tech’s fifth vic- tory of the 1931 season. Ros- sing starred by scoring 15 of the victor’s 27 points. Augustana’s earlier 34-30 victory was avenged on Fri- day, February 13, when Ar- mour defeated them by a 36- 28 score. Both teams played a fast snappy game with excel- lent quick passes. Robin a n d Rossi ng led the scor- ing with 21 points be- tween them. Coach Krafft’s basketeers again avenged a previous defeat, when they outscored Y” Col- lege, 37-24. The visitors were hope- lessly outplayed and outscored during w. M. Mir an the first half, being V. Omiecinski G. I. Beemsterboer on the short end of a 20-6 score. Beem- sterboer, Rossing, and Robin, each netted Armour nine points. Armour Tech climaxed its 1930- 31 basketball sea- son with a 33-26 victory over Chi- cago Tech at the D e La Salle gym- nasium for its fourth consecu ti ve victory. This game marked the final appearance of Captain Robin, Ott, O’Connor, Rut- kowski, and Setterberg, who will graduate during the com- ing year. The black and yel- low men were outscored until the final six minutes of the game, when they forged to the fore on shots by Ott and Omiecinski. The 1931 season was not without its serious mishaps. Miran and Gustafson, two stellar guards of the season, were lost during the earlier part due to illness and in- eligibility. Next year will see the following men back to strive for another cham- pionship season: Captain-elect Ross- ing, Bccmstcrbocr, Gustafson, Lind, Yuknis, V. Omiecinski, Moskowitz, and Kukulski.

Colvert closed the 1 9 3 0 season with three victories against eight de- feats. This apparent let- down from their cham- pionship stride of previous years was partly due to the loss of Stellar and Jen- nings, the latter, Illinois State Champion and Na- tional Public Parks Champion for three consecutive years. Captain A. Winkler, W. Scott, R. Eddy, W. Schirmcr, R. Johnston, and R. Spencer, made up the regular squad. Winkler and Johnston com- posed one doubles team, while Eddy and Schirmcr played in the other. The Tech team was unable to start its winning stride, and lost its first six matches in succession. The first meet with Lake Forest was fairly close with several matches going to extra sets. Loy- ola gave Armour its only shut-out of the season. Tech lost both of Captain A. Winkler its matches tO Coach W. W. Colt er Valparaiso, the score be- ing four matches to three each time. Armour defeated Lake Forest, five to two, for its first victory of the season. In his match, Captain Winkler upset Roberts of Lake Forest, 6-4, 6-2. Roberts had not been de- feated in six years of com- petition. Tech ended the season with two decisive victories over North Park College. The first of these was five matches to two, and the last, four to one. The team exhibited class, speed and form in both matches, and com- pleted their sets in short time. In these two meets they won six singles and three doubles matches out of a possible twelve. Eddy and Schirmer was the best doubles com- bination of the season, winning seven matches and losing three. Eddy finished his 1930 singles competition with six victories and with only fou defeats chalked against him. Manager W. R.

Johannisson, a freshman, won the annual Golf Tournament held at Evergreen Park with a total of 147. Zacher and Chamison were tied for second place with 150 strokes. The season opened with the annual Alumni-Varsity match at the Ever- green course. The more experienced alumni won by the close score, 6 2 to 5 2. Armour’s team showed consider- able talent when they met the strong Crane College aggregation in the sec- ond match of the season. The meet was hotly contested throughout, be- ing lost in the last match. Final score was 9 2 to 8 J 2. For their third match, Tech jour- neyed down to Valparaiso, Indiana, and trounced the University of Val- paraiso squad, H 2 to 5 2. Ireland turned in the best card of the day with a medal score of 39 out-37 in. Weis, Johannisson, and Chamison won their singles matches with prac- tically par golf. Pearson was defeat- ed by Dc Gracia, who previously had won the sectional championship at Gary, Indiana. Pearson, Johannisson, and Ireland, Weis, won their doubles combina- tions by close scores. Armour lost the next match to De Paul, 9 to 3. All matches were closely contested but the Tech men couldn’t come through in the pinches. Tech won the second match with the University of Valparaiso squad, 11 to 7, at the Evergreen Park course. Loyola and De Paul then closed the season with defeats for Armour. The latter match, played at Big Oaks golf course, consisted only of single matches. Captain Weis was again defeated by his old rival, Bradburn, by two strokes.

The Sandstrom-Korpoft match was a draw, while Captain Ustryski, Montesano, Hauser and Milevsky displaying high caliber of boxing and generalship failed to get the judges’ decision. Ustryski injured his arm in this match, and as a result had to refrain from training for several weeks. In the second match, Chicago Reg- iment Headquar- ters defeated the yellow and black squad 3 2 to 2 2. The bouts were fiercely contested throughout with the final score re- maining in doubt until after the last match. H e c k m i 11 e r and Sandstrom outboxed their opponents to win their bouts by Captain V. A. Ustryski decisions. Cam- pioni, 156 pounds, drew his match with McDer- mott of the Headquar- ters squad. Montesano, Kruchten and Milevsky again lost close decisions to their heavier oppo- nents. On February 21, Tech boxers journeyed to Cul- ver, Indiana and lost all six bouts to the soldiers. A crowd of several hundred specta- tors saw the match. Montesano, Sandstrom, Campione, Rush, Heck- miller and Mago composed the squad. Bloomington Y. M. C.

They took the lead early in the game and held it through the final inning. The seniors won their game against the juniors in the other divi- sion. The victors were very fortu- nate in having five letter men on their squad. In the game for cham- pionship, Hutman, a very promising player, pitched for the freshmen and with a well organized team, defeated the seniors by a score of 1 -0. The freshmen again came into the fore in the interclass basketball com- petition. The sophomores, who were last year's champions, met defeat in a very exciting game. They were so evenly matched it was necessary to go into an overtime period to determine the winner. The juniors were suc- cessful in defeating the seniors in a hard fought fracas. In the final game the juniors proved no match for the well organized freshman squad. The final score of this game was 23-10 in favor of the freshmen. The seniors won their third con- secutive interclass track champion- ship in a meet that was held between semesters at the Bartlett Gym. They have made a record that will long re- main unequaled. A. H. Jens starred for the seniors, who had a final count of 28 points. The sophomores were second, and again successful in lead- ing the juniors. Their score being 1 5 points, one better than the juniors, were able to gather. One Hundred Fifty-lu o OF 19 3 1 ► INTERFRATERNITY ATHLETICS MjcLcnrun, Ginkc, Meade, Mrland, Lcichtcnberg, Orison. Armour’s collegiate atmosphere and love for fair play is accentu- ated by interfraternity athletics. Throughout all of its branches of competition there prevails a spirit of the finest sportsmanship coupled with every participant’s best effort to win. It is this keen spirit of rivalry that has lent color and enthusiasm to in- tramural activities. The final basketball game brought the Phi Pi Phi’s and the Sigma Kappa Delta’s together. The game opened with both teams playing cautiously, but in the third quarter the former sent a fusillade of shots through the net to gain a substantial lead, too great to be overcome by the fourth- quarter rally which the Sig Kap’s gamely put up. Carlson, a Phi Pi forward, was high point man. One of the highlights” of Junior Week was the interfraternity track meet. Competition was close in each event and every man was compelled to do his utmost to get in the money”! The participants were spurred on by the exhortations and cheers of enthusiastic fraternity brothers and friends who lined the sides of the field. Beta Psi won the day’s honors with a total of 54 points. Triangle placed second and Sigma Kappa Delta third with 2 5 2 and 18J 2 points respectively. Miran of Beta Psi was high-point man with 18 points. A Theta Xi team com- posed of Rowley, Olsen, Carlson, and Sorensen, won the Interfraternity Relay. One Hundred Fifty-three ORGANIZATIONS PUBLICATIONS THE CYCLE 1931 THE CYCLE This, the nineteenth volume of the Cycle and the thirty-third volume of the yearbook of Armour Institute of Technology is not the work of one man. It is the result of the com- bined efforts of some thirty-odd undergradu- ate students of the In- stitute who have enjoy- ed the generous cooper- ation of the faculty. As you have perhaps noted, this book is dif- ferent from other Cycles of the past few years. At least the outside appearances are different. When the 1931 staff was elected, the members resolved to make the ’31 Cycle unlike any previous edition. This proved to be a very difficult task for the financial status would not permit the many new ideas being put into material form. We have attempted to diverge from the usual and the sterotyped style in yearbooks. We have attempt- ed to incorporate into this volume the beauty of good book making. To do this we have increased the size of margin around each page. This ac- counts for the increased size of the book. We have not used a repetition of color border on each page. We have injected color only where we felt that it adds to the beauty of the book. The cover is one of genuine artistic design. It is not artificial as others in the past have been. To pre- serve the volume, we have covered it with a cellophane wrapper and then placed it in a card- hoard box. These ideas have been gathered from many sources although largely from the staff editors. An editor could not have asked for better cooperation from his associates than we have enjoyed. At times our rela- tions became strained but always the expected material was presented in the designated time. To those men who have actually done the work, we extend our sincere gratitude. We have tried to do honor to those who have made this book. However, what little has been done for them is small reward for the many hours of time that have been devoted to this work. In work of this nature where the editor is so unfit for his task he must constantly look to men experienced in the professional field for aid. These people although not connected with Armour Institute gave generously of their time that we might not fail: Arthur H. Jetts One Hundred Fifty-tight THE CYCLE 1931 C F 19 3 1 ► Mr. Earl W. Beebe of the Franklin Engraving Company who was ever ready to serve us how- ever small or large our problem. Mr. Enoch V. Linden of the Linden Printing Company who is re- sponsible for the cover, the style, the beauty and the finish of this book. Mr. John J. Miller of the Mabel Sykes Studio who guided us in our many photographic difficulties. Mr. Charles Erker also of the Sykes Studio who took many of the group pictures for this book. In our work we have made many contacts with the faculty. Thus have we been privileged to meet peo- ple we should otherwise not have known. Dr. Raymond was ever ready with suggestions and a helping hand that we might succeed. The late Dean Palmer, Dean Penn and Mr. Allison whose interest and unfailing support made the work seem easy. The faculty advisory committee com- posed of Professor Paul, Professor Peebles and Professor Finnegan gave unstintingly of their time in the supervision of the Cycle. This group generously received our ideas and discarded them only after careful consideration. To the many assistant editors and contributors who gave of their time and energy thatthc Cycle of 1931 might be realized, we extend our sincere appreciation. In editing this book we have attempted to pay tribute to those mostdeserving. We have been accurate so far as we know, but the necessary rehandling of copy may have intro- duced errors. Accept these with a generous mind for they were not intentionally made. One can scarcely appreciate the problems that are met in editing a book the size of the Cycle. At one time we were called upon to judge art work.

In those twenty- two years it has pro- gressed until now it stands as one of the old- est and best of the en- gineering school maga- zines in the country. The efforts of men from twenty - two classes of Armour students have brought about the final product of which the school should be proud. Within the last decade the Armour Engineer became a member of the Engineering College Magazines Asso- ciated, an organization which now contains twenty-five engineering publications of the lead- ing technical schools in the country. At the an- nual convention of the association held last Oc- tober at Boulder, Colo- rado, the Armour En- gineer received the fol- lowing words of praise from the chairman: The Armour Engineer is a publication that sits mighty near, if not on, the top of the E.C.M.A. ladder. Let me say that it will be the realization of one of my ideals when all E. C. M. A. magazines look as well as Armour.” In the past year an attempt was made to make the feature articles varied enough so that they would be of in- terest to everyone. In each issue it was endeav- ored to include some general subject — even though it was remote from the engineering field—in order to give the magazine greater appeal. Special care was em- ployed in selecting items for the En- gineering News section to include interesting facts for all the readers. The department of Col- lege Notes was edited with the idea in mind that only a record of the moreimportant fea- tures of the daily life of the students be included, but that these items be comprehensive, i n - teresting, and of news value. The Alumni sec- tion has presented news of vital interest to our graduates. A. J. Lcnkc ). H. St ran berg Out UunJrtJ Sixty-tuv OF 19 3 1 ► Krause, Link, Murphy Jens, Kellner, Guyot, Holt.

One Hundred Sixty-three 4 THE CYCLE THE ARMOUR TECH NEWS Each year of the three years’ existence of the Armour Tech News as a weekly student publi- cation has seen great strides made in its devel- opment. The first year, under the editorship of John Hommes, saw the establishment of the weekly paper as a vital part of the student life and the overcoming of the objections which the opposers to its founda- tion had supported. The second year, un- der the leadership of David Smith, saw the paper permanently increased to its present six column size. Rec- ognition was given by the officials of the Insti- tute, and the paper was now termed the Offi- cial Student Newspa- per.” The third year, which is now coming to a close, has seen a change in pol- icy which makes the permanence of the pa- per assured. Formerly a subscription drive was conducted the first part of each semester to which about sixty per cent of the student body responded. Under the editorship of Fred Att- wood, the staff succeed- ed in having the student body adopt a plan of one hundred per cent subscription. This plan, which is used in almost all colleges, makes every student at the Institute a subscriber to the Ar- mour Tech News at the time of registration. This plan not only brings a larger income through the increase in paid subscribers, but also makes it possible to obtain more advertising because of the increased circulation. Another advance made in the past year was the cooperation of the Tech News with other college newspapers in Chicago in the devel- opment of the Chicago Association of College Newspapers. If the fu- ture records show such accomplishments at the end of each year as have been shown in the past three years, who can say what the Official Stu- dent Newspaper” will be like in—say 1941? •'.

One Hundred Sixty-five ENGINEERING SCCIETIES THE CYCLE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS This year, the Armour Branch of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers has been p a r- ticularly successful in of- fering the members of the society the opportunity for personal contact with some of the outstanding men engaged in the engin- eering profession, and in promoting a spirit of good fellowship among its members. A large measure of this success has been due to the enthusiasm of the members and the hearty cooperation of the members of the faculty. By having regular bi-monthly meetings, the society was able to retain the in- terest of its members. The society has been fortunate the past year in securing as speakers men quite prominent in the field of mechanical en- gineering. These engin- eers showed how the various problems and difficulties that are con- tinually arising in their work are solved. This seemed to emphasize the fact that it is the one who can surmount all difficulties who finally becomes the successful engineer. A very interesting talk was given at the second meeting by Mr. E. O. Oelerking on the Chicago Daily News Building. He explained the many en- gineering difficulties en- countered in the erection of this building and the ingenious methods by which these troubles were overcome. On November 6th, Mr. R. C. Yea- mans spoke on the use of hydraulic engineering in the making of sand fills. The lecture was illustrated by pictures of all the fills made for the new Outer Drive. On November 21 st, the society was successful in securing a represen- tative of the Standard Oil Company who delivered a com- prehensive talk on mo- tor oils, the talk being accompanied by motion pictures showing in de- tail the method of dis- tilling and testing the various kinds of oils.

During this month, Dr. Schcrger gave an illustrated talk on the ancient engineering feats. When one stops to consider the great en- gineering problems that had to be solved before the pyramids could be built, he is forced to ad- mire the ability of the early Egyptians. The society played an active part in the Mid- west Power Conference held at the Stevens Hotel, during the week of February 9th. Here, the members became acquainted with some of the fore- most engineers in the country. The first smoker was held on No- vember 21st, at the Theta Xi House. At the smoker, the student and the professor came into closer and more friendly contact, while the bonds of comradeship between the members were strengthened. The mem - bers were entertained by the pledges of Pi Tau Sigma. Officers—Char- les T. Link, president; Richard H. Stevenson, vice-president; Robert M. Krause, secretary; Frank F. Strassenburg, treasurer; Professor Daniel Roesch, honor- ary chairman. One HnnJreJ Sixty-nine « THE CYCLE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS The Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers has just completed a most suc- cessful year in its promo- tion of electrical engineer- ing, both technically and practically, among its members. Membership in- cluded, not only one hun- dred per cent of the jun- iorsandseniors, buta large number of sophomores as well. Meetings have been held on every other Monday. Through the efforts of the chairman, many interesting and well-known speakers have ad- dressed the organization. On October 20, the first meeting of the year, Mr. J. T. Hawley, Chief Electrical Engineer of the Chicago Sanitary District, spoke on Engin- eering Projects of the Sanitary District.” In his talk Mr. Hawley cleared up many hazy points with regard to the operation of the Dis- trict. On November 17, Mr. W. P. Hilliard of the Chicago Police De- partment, Radio D i - vision, addressed a joint meeting with the Arm- our Radio Association on Radio as an Aid to Po- lice.” Mr. Hilliard brought a standard squad car in- stallation with him. By actual demonstration, he laid out a clear picture of the engineering problems and advantages of the po- lice radio system. Industrial Electric Heating” was the subject of an address at the December 15th meeting, presented by L. J. Ericsson of the General Electric Company, A.I.T. ’28. Mr. Ericsson brought out many interesting facts concerning this great new field. The varied ap- plications and future possibilities were stressed by him. After this talk, some of the ambitious electricals have started to work on a plan for the pro- duction of synthetic diamonds on a com- mercial scale. Who knows what will be the result of the ambitions awakened by this talk? The all-important subject of Illumina- tion” constituted the program of the January 12th meeting. Mr. O. P.

Not until after the talk did the younger mem- bers realize that illumination was so closely related to economics. The variety of applications of illumina- tion in the production of grand opera, in the movie tone, in factory operations, in the street and in other places too numerous to mention makes one realize that this is a large field for the engineer who ap- preciates an opportunity to make things beauti- ful as well as useful. Many programs com- posed of excellent talks by junior and senior students oc- cupied the remainder of the school year. The fall smoker, held December 10th at the Sigma Kappa Delta House, afforded a real opportunity to relax and get acquainted. The en- tertainment was fur- nished by a miniature stresses and strains band, led by Ed Stchno, varsity baseball pitcher. Officers — Kilian A. Knittel, chairman; Rob- ert L.

This year the officers have endeavored to ar- range the program so that there would be continuity in the topics that were delivered by the speakers. The subject of transporta- tion covered waterways, railways, highways, and airways; steel design included the design and fabrication of buildings and bridges; sanitation and hydraulics comprised sewerage, water supply, river work, and dams. The members of the society have been very fortunate in hearing and meeting men of prominence in the civil engineering field. The meetings, held bi- monthly, have been heartily supported by the sophomore, junior, and senior civil engin- eers, while there has been even quite a num- ber from the other de- partments, who were cordially welcomed. On October 16th was held one of the outstand- ing inspection trips of the year when the junior and senior civils, in conjunc- tion with the Western So- ciety of Engineers, ex- amined the grade separa- tion project at 16th and Canal Streets. The project, the elevation of the Balti- more and Ohio, the Chi- cago and Northwestern, and the St. Charles Air- line over the Pennsylvania and the Burlington tracks, involved many complicated structures, which were explained in detail. Mr. C. A. Morse, former Chief Engineer of the Rock Island Railway, gave some of his experiences as a rail- road engineer. He emphasized the well-known truth that he became successful as an engineer a man must place engineering achievement ahead of money. Every man, at some time or other, receives an op- portunity and it is up to him to make the most of it. At the meeting on November 7th, the so- ciety was fortunate to secure Mr. K. A. Ken- nedy of the Boeing School of Aeronautics, an authority in the field of aviation, who dis- cussed the life and train- er. A.

His talk was illustrated by movie pictures taken at the Boe- ing School. Mr. W. M. Smith, assistant chief engineer of the Illinois Division of Waterways, with the aid of colored slides, gave a brief explanation of the engineering problem encountered along the waterway of the upper Illi- nois River. He also de- scribed the construction and maintenance of the modern canal locks. On December 4th, Mr. T. Wolfe, district manager of the N.A.T. lines, traced the develop- ment of transportation from the earliest crude form to the latest at- tempts of Fritz Opel’s propulsion by means of expanding gases. Mr. Henry Penn, former professor in the civil department at Armour, showed by means of moving pictures how the construction work of a large building was scheduled, and how this schedule was closely followed so that the work would progress as it was planned. On November 7th, the fall smoker was held at the Sigma Kappa Delta House. Officers—Thomas A. Woods, President; Phil- ip Jordan, Vice-Presi- dent; Bert S. Lindquist, Secretary; William J.

One Hundred Seventy-three THE CYCLE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS Beta Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has been quite successful this year in presenting to the students in chemical en- gineering some of the out- standing men in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. The meet- ings, held monthly, have been very interesting and instructive, and have received the whole-hearted support of the sopho- more, junior, and senior classes. With the many offers of aid by those now engaged in the vast and varied field of chemical practices in this metropolitan area, the problem of subjects for meetings arose from the very wealth of material. The topics selected were those which had a wide range of appeal to those who are now preparing to enter an unknown sector of the chemical frontier. The first meeting of the school year was spent in the election of officers and the planning of the year’s program. The first speaker, Dr. Bartow, of the Univer- sity of Iowa, Chairman of the Advisory Com- mittee on Student Chap- ters of the American In- stitute of Chemical Engi- neers, gave a timely talk upon the relationship be- tween the student chapter and the parent organiza- tion, and of the methods of bringing the two closer together. After his talk, Dr. Bartow showed an ex- hibition of slides taken during his recent trip to the Orient, where he attended the World Engineering Congress held in China. On December 15 th, Mr. Wilson of the Standard Oil Company gave an interesting talk on The Mechanism of Lubrication,” in which he dis- cussed the various factors of lubrica- tion. The meetings of the year have served to show the young chem- ists a few of the ram- ifications of one of the oldest of the applied sci- ences, for historical rec- ords prove that the early research engineers were chemists even though we now generally refer to them as alchemists.

The customary departmental smoker was held on April 17th at the Sigma Kappa Delta house. Here, the trials of an embryo chemist were forgotten for the evening, amidst the smoke and cards, as he did not have to get out his Orsat apparatus to make a determination of the nicotine and tar contents of the atmos- phere which surrounded him. During the past year, there has been very keen competition for the Schmier - Kemiker medal, which is the the official trophy of the organization. It consists of a sheet of cardboard neatly decorated with the replica of a broken flask, suitably engraved and attached with a safety pin. This distinctive and well-known medal is awarded to the Chemical” who manages to pro- duce a violent explosion or performs his experi- ment in a particularly sloppy manner. Space is provided for the name of recipient. Officers—Fred B. Attwood, President; Gervase J. Stockmann, Vice-President; Harold J. Latham, Treasurer; Orville G. Linnell, Sec- retary. One Hundred Seventy-five THE CYCLE FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING SOCIETY This year, the Fire Pro- tection Engineering So- ciety has accomplished its primary objects of fur- thering the interests of its members by offering them the opportunity to be- come acquainted with some of the prominent men now at work in this field, and of promoting the feeling of fellowship among the students of the Fire Pro- tection Engineering course. Especially are the view-points of practicing engineers of great value to those preparing to enter this field. Fire protection is one of the newer engineering professions, as the problem of the reduction of the large losses by fire that occur annually is one that has not been regarded as cap- able of solution until comparatively recent years. The reduction of the fire hazard in the various forms in which it appears in practice re- quires careful study and intelligent application of the various methods of protection. The meetings of the society were held bi- monthly. At these meet- ings, the speakers present- ed some of the difficulties that arose in fire protec- tion and fire fighting, and the methods by which these difficulties were over- come. Mr. R. Plant, chief en- gineer of the Fire Preven- tion Bureau for the past sixteen years, wast he speaker at the meeting held on October 24th. Fie spoke on building construction from the view- point of fire protection, and empha- sized the danger of long vertical shafts as a means of carrying fire from one floor to another. In con- clusion, he related several interesting stories about some of the more im- portant fires that have occurred in Chicago. On November 7th, Mr. FI. C. Melville of the North American In- surance Co. gave a talk on Marine Insurance” that presented the rath- er unusual applications of fire prevention to ocean liners and other ships, and the factors determining the rates in ocean insurance. Mr. Melville’s first talk prov- A. F. Wilde due Hundred Seirn y-six OF 19 3 1 ► Knox, Waterman, Jen� , Kuiterut. Stcinhaus, Austin, Griesman, Langhammcr, Staib, Miran, Holt, Schuclcr, Pearson.

At this meeting he laid particular stress on the method of determining insurance rates on motor bus and trucking transporta- tion. In addition to the regular meet- ings, some of the members held a de- bate on the question as to the desirability of ad- mitting to the attention of the membership the latest recruit to the fire fighting forces — that ever alert photo-electric cell that automatically turns on the water when a fire starts. It was argu- ed that this d e v i ce would give rise to more technological un- employment. The argu- ment ended without an official vote, so the results arc unknown. The Fire Protects did not strictly follow the practices of their profes- sion at the annual smoker held in the spring. At this session, a study was made of the best method of handling fires which occur in small quantities of slow burning material which emits fumes, while the various members spent their time playing bridge and exchanging experiences. The presence of gaming tables and stage money presented a Monte Carlo atmosphere. Officers — Albert F. Wilde, President; Ar- thur H. Jens, Vice-Pres- ident; Walter M. Miran, Secretary; Maxwell C. Larkin, Treasurer. One 11 tin Jr td Sfienty-seien THE CYCLE ARMOUR ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY Although unlike other societies at Armour Insti- tute, and following a path of its own design, the Armour Architectural So- ciety has succeeded in keeping on its roll those school members who wander about on two cam- puses. Even with their en- deavors to propitiate favor with the muse of their selected art, they are frequently re- minded that architectural expression depends chiefly upon masses of ma- terial which extend in three dimen- sions. Members of the architectural de- partment are furnished with the needed inspiration by the galleries of the Art Institute and the outstanding architectural masterpieces located in the heart of Chicago. An occasional meeting, however, is required to al- low the function of fel- lowship to have its reign. The Burnham Li- brary, a very remark- able library on architec- tural subjects, has been of great benefit to the architectural students. The books in the library are some of the most valuable books there are on the subject, and cover all of the ancient ideas in architecture. Of the many attractions of the library may be includ- ed the two librarians, Miss Rawls and Miss Saunders, who are always ready and willing to help any archi- tect in need of aid. Prints and replicas of the architectural master- pieces or parts thereof arc accessible for the in- dividual sessions of each member. He may adapt the session to his con- venience, and his inclinations and as- pirations. This is an opportunity which does not exist for the members of the other societies. With the es- tablishment of industrial and engi- neering museums, however, the mem- bers of the engineering societies will have a similar opportunity of study- ing first hand, outstanding engineer- ing constructions handed down to posterity by pioneers. The Armour Archi- tectural Society was founded to foster the spirit of cooperation and idealism, and encourage a greater interest in all phases of the archi- tectural profession. In no other department do the professors and stu- dents work more closely together for their mu- •'. D. Chapman One Hundred Seven!y-eigbt OF 19 3 1 ► McKenna. Poe. Scafuri. Plhak, Sommer, Vallcttc.

This relationship tends to have a great influence on their social life. According to the well-established custom, the year’s activities of the so- ciety were climaxed by the annual initiation banquet held during the spring. This affair was in charge of the junior architectural students, who, feeling the responsibility of their position, devoted their efforts in the great work before them. The morning was devoted to an in- spection trip, during which time the city of Chicago was permitted to view the neophites. During this trip, the freshmen gave extem- poraneous talks on such live topics of the day, as, Should Chicago Have Another Great Fire.” After being hotly pur- sued by the Chicago Police Depart- ment, they returned to the Art Insti- tute. After this, the freshmen were given certain problems to draw in Grant Park, where amid cheers and suggestions of the spectators, they at- tempted to do this nearly impossible task. The entire afternoon was spent in impressing the freshmen architects of their insignificance and unimport- ance by means of a great number of paddles properly ap- plied, and by assigning trivial tasks, such as cleaning the teeth of the lions in front of the Art Institute with a mere tooth brush, to each un- fortunate freshman. Those who somehow survived the ordeal were initiated into the society. Officers — F. D. Chapman, Massier; E. J. Minx, Sou Massier. One Hundred Seventy-nine MUSICAL CUCANIZATICNS THE CYCLE ARMOUR TECH MUSICAL CLUBS For the purpose of cre- ating a finer appreciation and a broader interpreta- tion, the various musical clubs at Armour organ- ized in 1922 into a single group to be known as Ar- mour Tech Musical Clubs. As an inducement towards this end they later estab- lished Pi Nu Epsilon as an honorary musical frater- nity, thereby adding the spice and competition that is the boon to any organization’s existence. This body, under the leadership of its governing officers and our es- teemed Faculty Advisor, Professor Leigh, has tried this year to put be- fore the students and the city at large well balanced and praiseworthy groups that can be recognized along with our athletic teams as products of Armour Tech. The Musical Clubs, of which the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Stresses and Strains are constituents, staged two remarkable concerts during the past year. The first was the Christ- mas Concert, held during the first se- mester, and the second was the An- nual Home Concert held during the second semes- ter. An oboe solo and a bari- tone solo were the features of the Christmas Concert, in addition to an organ solo. The latter involved the playing of the Assembly Hall organ for a regular assembly for the first time in many years. Each club presented an interesting program in keeping with the prevail- ing holiday spirit. Christmas carols by the Glee Club, a medley of Christ- mas numbers by the Orchestra, and a group of snappy pieces by the Stresses and Strains were the main factors of the club programs. The Annual Home Concert proved to be as entertaining and as fine as any previously given concert. The Glee Club sang a selection of three songs and were enjoined to sing as an encore On The Road To Mandalay.” Stresses and Strains and the Orchestra both played a program of four num- bers. These with the novelty num- bers, and the interfraternity sing were deeply enjoyed by all. W. A. Schrader OFFICERS W. A. Schrader F. O’Conor........... E. W. Carlton F. F. Strassenburg A.

The steadily growing interest that each year is shown by these hopeful engineers in the so-called extra-curri- culum functions of this organization add to its life and usefulness. A school should provide for the mental nourishment along cultural lines as well as the laying the founda- tions for future greatness. This is ac- complished at Armour, in no small manner, by this talented group. Under the leadership of Richard Eddy, the close of this year marks the end of another successful season. The orchestra has improved from year to year. Improvements may be noticed which were of such a na- ture as to tend to raise the standard of music at Arm- our. Higher types of mu- sic were presented at the various concerts, and there was a greater variety of in- struments which compos- ed the orchestra. In gen- eral, new heights have been attained. Music is essential to life. It may be traced back to the very edge of civilization. It is self-inspired and can never die. Music is harmony. To be successful in any of his en- deavors, an engineer must be interest- ed in harmony. The manner in which the student body received the performances of the orchestra showed that a love for music really existed in the heart of the engineer and that he was a lover of harmony. R. R.

One Hundred Eighty-three THE CYCLE GLEE CLUB Again the excellent guidance and direction of Dr. Daniel Protheroe, who is also director of the Welsh Male Choir, the Illi- nois Bell Telephone Chorus, the Hyde Park Y.M.C.A. Glee Club, the Central Church Choir, and a number of other groups, has brought about a successful year for the Armour Tech Glee Club. The work of the club was excep- tional, both in the Christmas Concert and in the Annual Home Concert. In these events classical or semi-classical numbers were selected for the pro- grams because it was believed that in learning the works of the masters a great amount of good is assimilated. Members of the Club during the year became familiar with a myriad of musical terms in a choral imitation of the opera called the “Italian Salad”; learned the fundamentals of “Barber Shop”; chords in “The Old Songs”; studied Scotch history in “Charlie Is My Darling”; knew of romance in “I Passed by Your Window”; and got religion in “The Prayer Perfect.” They visited southern seas in “On the Road to Mandalay”; sang rol- licking Christmas Carols and loved in “Passing By.” The above exemplifies the di- versification of the Club’s programs in the past year.

One HunJreJ Eighty-four STRESSES AND STRAINS OF 19 3 1 ► Stresses and Strains was organized in the fall of 1926 by twelve men who felt that the light popular tunes of the day were not being taken into account enough here at school, and that they should be mixed with the more serious works. These twelve men banded together with the purpose of venting on the air their feelings pertaining to music and how it should be played. The result of their efforts was the rendi- tion of a pleasing type of Symphonic Jazz,” which seemed to gain im- mediate acceptance among the stu- dents. This year’s first rehearsal was held in the third week of the first semester. Four men formed a nucle- us for this year’s group, and from the large turn- out for all sections of the orchestra enough good musicians were found to replace those lost and to increase the size of the band to ten pieces. With this early start in its favor, Stresses and Strains was able to work out a good program for the Christ- mas Concert. And it was a good one, as was indicated by the enthusiastic way in which it was received in the cries for more” and the applause of the audience. The concert in the spring was even more popular with the audience than it was ever before. V.

In 192 7, the Armour Tech Campus Club, an outgrowth of the Y.M.C.A. group at Armour, was or- ganized. The club is primarily a so- cial organization, and is open to all students at Armour Institute. With the cooperation of the social fraternities, the Campus Club initiat- ed the social activities at Armour in the form of the Freshman Hand- shake, which provided an excellent oppor- tunity for the upper classmen and the new students to become ac- quainted in an informal manner. The first smoker of the semester was held on October 23 rd, with the usual round of bridge, pinochle and entertainment provided by the members. This was followed by many other smokers, quite as suc- cessful as the first. In addition, there was the autumn meeting and banquet of the Campus Club Alumni Asso- ciation, held at the Allerton House, and the annual mid-year banquet of the club, held in May. The spirit of friend- ship among the mem- bers has resulted in a most pleasant and pros- perous year. Officers — Jack O. Cavanagh, President; Samuel F. Winegar, Vice-President; New- ton C.

During the past two years the club has been rather inactive, but this year, it has been reorganized. As a result it has been successful in work- ing up enthusiasm for the publications, and in bringing out quite a number of recruits for the respective staffs. To further the mu- tual social relationship between the men and give them the opportu- nity to learn and appre- ciate what the other members were doing, a smoker was held on February 26th, at the Sigma Kappa Delta house. Harvey T. Woodruff, the well known column conductor of the Chicago Tribune, was the principal guest of honor. He related some of his humorous experiences as a sports writer, after which, Professor Schommer re- counted some of the lively episodes of his life and his athletic ex- periences. Officers—Arthur H.

The basic purpose of the organization is to unite men of good scholastic standing and personal character into a closer union where- by mutual benefit may be derived for all. With the passing of the college year, the Truss Club comes to the end of the year of its greatest prosperity and activity. New quar- ters, a new spirit, in fact a complete reorganiza- tion has been effected. The quarters of the club are now located at 3311 S. Michigan Ave. Early in October, the social festivities of the year were in- itiated by a smoker, where the mem- bers exchanged tales of their experi- ences during the summer. This smoker proved to be such a success, and aroused so much enthusiasm, that it was soon followed by another. Subsequent to the two smokers, a house dance was held in the latter part of No- vember. Several radio dances were held during the year, including the alumni dance. Officers—Philip Jor- dan, President; Andrew R. Draus, Vice-Presi- dent; William L. Jost, Secretary; William J.

The purpose of the Armour Radio Association is to provide for those in- terested in radio communication an opportunity to foster that interest. To those who have come to learn the thrills of talking to your fellow man halfway across the earth and chat- ting with the globe,” the Radio As- sociation, through the Institute radio station, W9NV, affords partic- ular enjoyment. To others whose interests lie in different phases of the art, the organization provides a bond of mu- tual exchange and fel- lowship. The Armour Radio Association was formed in 1922 when Armour Institute became the re- cipient of a complete broadcasting station, WPAD. Students, who were radio operators licensed by the Fed- eral government, rebuilt the appa- ratus to meet their special needs and obtained the official call letters, W9NV. Since that time, the sta- tion, remodeled to keep abreast with the rapid advancement in radio, has been in constant use. It has been managed by li- censed operators, all of whom own private transmitters. Officers — Robert L. Van Osdol, President; William A.

Since then, the club has acquired its own range in the basement of Chapin Hall. Also, the electrical department of the Institute has given the club a tele- scope for spotting the shots, and has equipped the range with an excellent lighting system. In addition, the club owns two guns, a Savage and a new Winchester. During the past year, the club was fortunate in securing several matches. Three postal matches were held with the New York Stock Exchange. The fact that these were lost by only a small margin showed that the team was of high standing. The team won the postal match held with the rifle team of Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The team also scheduled matches with Lane Tech, the Humboldt Park Rifle Club, and the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. Rifle Team. Prob- ably the most novel and an outstanding event of the year was the match held with the North- western Girls’ Rifle Team. Officers — Donald G. Wilson, President; Rob- ert A.

Its aim, primarily, is to confer honor upon those students of engineering who have main- tained a high standard of scholarship, and who have displayed leadership, initiative, and character during their years in college. It has been the aim of Tau Beta Pi, also, to place emphasis upon the cultural side of a student's life as well as the scholastic, in the effort to instill in its members a broader spirit of liberal education. Beta Chapter of Illinois was chartered May aa, 1906, being the fourteenth chapter of the fraternity established. There are now fifty-nine active chapters in the engineering colleges of the United States and nine active alumni organizations in various cities. The total number of members now exceeds eighteen thousand. One Hundred Ninety-six OF 19 3 1 ► Link, Act wood.

In certain instances membership has been conferred upon graduates and prominent engineers. However, mere scholarship docs not admit a man to membership in Tau Beta Pi. The man’s qualities of character, personality, activity, and leadership, in the final analysis, prove his worth to the society and the school.

Action was taken by these men because of the fact that they were able to realize the necessity of grouping more closely the outstanding men in their class, and were able to foresee the mutual benefits to be derived from such a fraternity. Eta Kappa Nu was founded for the express purpose of binding together men, in leading technical schools of the United States, whose life work is electrical engineering. Such an organization as Eta Kappa Nu also brings into closer contact, than would otherwise be possible, the graduate and the undergraduate, thereby increasing the chances of its members for success in their profession.

In 1917. Pi Nu Epsilon was granted a charter as an honorary music fraternity. The charter members were a sincere group of men who realized the serious need for a stimulus for the musical organizations at Armour institute. The aims of the fraternity since its founding have been, to honor the men who devote their time and efforts to the musical clubs over a period of four years, to stimulate interest and work in the musical clubs, and to foster and develop a broader interest in music and musical affairs at Armour.

The purposes of the Honorary Fra- ternity Council are to further the in- terests, both social and scholastic, of the honorary fraternities and to stim- ulate and retain the alumni of the active chapters. By the organization of this body the many constructive ideas found in each and every one of the fraternities were pooled and used for the benefit of all. The two really outstanding events of the year are the annual honorary banquet and the annual honorary dance. Although the existence of the Honorary Fraternity Council is com- paratively young, they have accom- plished what was originally hoped for.

Portnoy Only four years old, the Armour Interfraternity Council now func- tions and controls the relationships of the ten social fraternities at Armour. The Interfraternity Council was formed as a successor to the old Inter- fraternity Rushing Committee. Since its formation the purpose of the Interfraternity Council has been to bring about closer relationships among the fraternities and also be- tween the fraternities and the Insti- tute. They now regulate all matters of common interest such as interfra- ternity sports, sing, scholarship, rush- ing, pledging and initiation rules. The Council body proper is made up of one member from each recog- nized fraternity on the campus, thus giving each fraternity man an oppor- tunity to voice his opinions on any matter of concern through his fra- ternity representative in the Inter- fraternity Council.

The Rainbow Fraternity, which had been organized for a good many years, was absorbed by Delta Tau Delta in 1886. The Rainbow was the first distinctly Southern fraternity, having at the time of the consolidation, ten chapters. Out of compliment to the older order, the official journal of Delta Tau Delta was named the Rainbow. Gamma Beta chapter of Delta Tau Delta grew from a club that was formed by seven members of the class of 190J.
