Here is a man among men, big in the little things of life as only the truly great can be . . . embodying in his own rugged personality t jose virtues of sportsmanship which he has tried to in- still in us. We can only say that we arc happy to have this opportunity of showing our gratitude to our friend and coach. PRIVATE LWRAflY Ji JOHN J. SCHOMttE? FOREWORD The pages that follow record a year of work, arid play, and fel- lowship. They constitute a perma- nent record of the life of a great institution for the year 1931-32. We have dreamed beyond a collec- tion of names and dates, or pictures of faces and events. We have striven to capture something of the beauty and spirit in our Institute whose life we attempt to picture, something of that intangibility men call tradition; in these leaves we have sought to identify this miracu- lous age of Modern Mechanicism with the triumphant achievements of tfjose who have gone before; we have tried to weave a promise of tire glorious future that lies before Armour and the sons who hold her dear. If we have in some measure been successful in these ambitions, let that success reflect credit upon the Alma Mater which has fostered in us the desire to do her honor. --------- —ip 1 _■! j A Ti1; r' - i I • ir r r But chiefly, Ite mould of a man's fortune is in his ou-n hands FACULTY ADMINISTRATION A MESSAGE FROM DOCTOR RAYMOND With announcement in February last of the new development plan. Armour Institute of Technology embraced a philosophy of usefulness which cannot but guide the Institute to a promising and splendid future. In its reception, and in the early phases of its operation, the plan gives guaranty of its ultimate success. Its greatest achievement, however, will not lie in the material support or position of prestige which Armour will gain from it, but rather in the number of men. of this and succeeding generations whom it will help to a more mature understanding and use of their abilities.

Schommer Director of Publicity THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN Trustees have done much that this might be a great year for Armour In- stitute of Technology. They have forsecn that engineering education cannot go far forward unless it will recognize new principles commensurate with modern developments in science and engineering. They have made exhaustive studies to define these principles, and to determine just how they may be applied to bring Armour Institute forward as a great leader in scientific and engineering education. Guided by their studies, they have evolved the Development Plan, which will make Armour a more useful servant of science and industry in the Middle West. We, who are the students, are more than interested observers of the changes which the plan will bring to our school environment. We arc vital participants in those changes. By giving as much of our energy and our intelligence to our work under its guidance as they have given of theirs to its preparation—thus can we make sure that the Development Plan will achieve all that the Trustees anticipate for the institution. Tueuty-luo ADMINISTRATION Howard Monroe Raymond President Philip Dan forth Armour Vice-President George Sinclair Allison Secretary and Treasurer John Cornelius Penn Dean of Engineering Henry Townlcy Hcald Assistant to the Dean Robert Vallcttc Perry Dear: of Evening Classes Ellen Steele Librarian Wilmot Cecil Palmer Cashier William Ernest Kelly Recorder COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL POLICY Howard Monroe Raymond Chairman John Cornelius Penn Robert Vallcttc Perry George Frederick Gebhardt George Lawrence Schergcr Guy Maurice Wilcox Harry McCormack Ernest Harrison Freeman Charles Edward Paul Joseph Bernard Finnegan Earl Howell Reed, Jr. Clyde Barnes Cooper Melville Baker Wells William Charles Krathwohl T nenty-tbree George •'. Gebhardt The Mechanical Engineering Department at Armour has always functioned since the date of its inception as an undergraduate school. The few applications for post-gradu- ate work and specialized research have not been of sufficient moment to warrant the added expense. Barring a few minor changes the curriculum is substantially the same as that adopted 10 years ago, and how well it was planned is evidenced by the fact that today it meets in every respect the ideal course in mechanical engineering as formu- lated by the Wickcndcn Committee of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. While research, pure or applied, has not been undertaken by the department as an organization, a vast amount of work of this nature has been carried on by the in- structors in their individual capacity. In fact, many of the members of the faculty have achieved national fame through their contacts, in this connection, with industrial concerns. These contacts have not only re- flected credit upon the individual and the Institute but have opened up positions for graduates which would otherwise have been unobtainable. There has been no change in personnel during the past year and the department enters the new year with its faculty intact. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Barring replacements and a few instru- ments of precision no additions have been made to the equipment. Most ot the appa- ratus is old and some of it is obsolete, but insofar as the teaching of fundamentals is concerned, it matters little how old the equip- ment is, provided the instructors arc masters of their art and know how to impart knowl- edge to the students. It is the faculty and not the equipment which makes a school really great. The Mechanical Engineering Department has the faculty and Armour is a great school. Not so many years from now, when the present depression and gloom have been for- gotten, there will be founded in the City of Chicago, the greatest engineering school in the world, and the nucleus of that school will be the Armour Institute of Technology, and its outstanding department, the Depart- ment of Mechanical Engineering. Meanwhile let us put our shoulders to the wheel and keep the old cart moving until we catch up with that limousine de-luxe which is waiting for us just over the hill. Twenty-four DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING During the past year, the electrical depart- ment inaugurated a comprehensive rehabili- tation program. This program has been par- tially completed and includes the more effi- cient use of available space, the painting and decorating of all laboratories, lecture rooms and offices, the installation of modern light- ing the repair of motors, generators, meters and auxiliary equipment. The motor-generator set, received from the General Electric Company, for the study of wave form, has been completely installed with switching and control equipment so that variable single or three phase wave-forms may be studied. A systematic method of detailed supervi- sion of all equipment and meters has been adopted. Daily records of all damaged equip- ment arc maintained so that responsibility may be established and the apparatus may be repaired and replaced in service with mini- mum delay. The electrical department office, formerly in the same room as the advanced electrical measurement laboratory, was moved to an- Erncst . Freeman other room, increasing the space available for the junior laboratory. This provided space for the permanent connection of many pieces of standard equipment involving com- plicated circuits so that the student may de- vote more time to the major problems of the experiment and less time in making compli- cated connections. It also provided required space for the development of experiments in electronics, necessitated by the modern de- velopments in this field. The plan of arranging the program so that the laboratories may be used in the morning as well as in the afternoon has proven very satisfactory and has reduced the conflict in regard to the use of meters and equipment to a minimum. Display cases have been arranged in which interesting electrical equipment and instru- ments which are seldom used and others rep- resenting various stages of development of the art, are displayed. The increase in confidence in the equip- ment, the pleasure in working under the im- proved conditions, have resulted in a general improvement in morale and a decided in- crease in the efficiency of the students and the department as a whole. Tu (Iily-fit e DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Melville B. Wells Both the faculty and the students of the Civil Engineering Department realize now, more fully than at first, the great loss that they sustained in the death last year of Doctor Alfred E. Phillips, for many years the head of the department. However, those upon whom the responsibility for the guidance and development of this branch of our school now rests have had the advantage of long association with him, know his plans and his ideals, and they arc following these as closely as possible. No changes have been made in the subjects taught or in the time given to them. Changes have been made in the faculty, however, and in the assignment of subjects. The transfer of Professor H. T. Heald to the Dean’s Office has reduced his teaching time so that he now has but one class in Strength of Materials each semester. Two new instructors have been engaged. Assistant Professor Harold A. Vagtborg is teaching Highway, Water Supply, and Sani- tary Engineering, also Contracts in Engineer- ing. Professor Vagtborg is a graduate of the University of Illinois. He is now a member of the firm of Allen and Vagtborg, Municipal Iinginecrs. The good work that he is doing as a teacher is appreciated by everyone in the department. The Structural work for the students in Architecture, that has been done by the Civil Engineering faculty, is now in the hands of one instructor who gives all of his time to it. Assistant Professor Sholto M. Spears is doing this work very satisfactorily. His problem is to find a way to adjust the requirements of Structural Design to the specal methods used by the Architects in most of their other studies, and he is meeting with success in the solution. Professor Spears has been en- gaged in structural work since his graduation in Civil Engineering at the University of Kentucky in 1922. There has been no change in the subjects of the courses offered in the Aeronautical Option of the Civil Engineering Department, but the content of the courses is being changed each year to keep up with the rapid advances in the science of Aeronautics that results from the research and study that is going on. Each member of the faculty recognizes the fact that similar, though less rapid changes arc going on in the other branches of en- gineering included in the curriculum. Each man is endeavoring to have some part in these changes and to improve his work both in the material taught and in the method of teaching. Twenty-six DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING The Department of Chemical Engineering commenced to plan better methods of in- struction and better facilities for instruction in the spring of 1931. These plans included the attendance of three of our teachers of chemical engineering at the summer school for chemical engineering given jointly by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering • Education and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers at the University of Michigan. Professors Schommer and Bentley and Mr. Martin attended the entire three weeks of the conference, while Professor McCormack attended only the last two days of the con- ference. During this time various questions concerned with the training of chemical en- gineers and the preparation for future em- ployment were discussed. Representatives from sixty colleges and universities were present. Some topic connected with chemical en- gineering instruction was presented each day by a teacher presumably best qualified to pre- sent this particular topic. The paper was then discussed by those in attendance. This procedure led to an exchange of ideas impos- sible to secure in any other way and, un- Harry McCormack doubtcdly, will mean much in the unification and advancement of chemical engineering education. Several of the laboratories devoted to chemistry and chemical engineering were re- modeled during the summer and early fall. The laboratories receiving particular atten- tion were those devoted to electrochemistry, physical chemistry and chemical engineering unit processes. A considerable addition to the floor space available in laboratories was provided, en- abling such expansion to be made as would take care of our needs for the next few years. The changes possible in the chemical en- gineering unit process laboratory were par- ticularly desirable, as the equipment used in these courses was crowded in so closely that space was not available for satisfactory operation of the equipment by the students. This handicap has now been overcome and we believe that our laboratory facilities to date arc as satisfactory for these courses as any which may be found. Accompanying the remodeling of the laboratories was the revision of the laboratory instruction given to the junior and senior students in chemical engineering, this revision taking account of the increased facilities for accomplishing the work and of recent devel- opments in engineering theory and practice. T unity-sere n Joseph B. Finnegan During the present school year the work of the department has proceeded satisfac- torily, with no radical changes in curriculum and methods, but with the progressive changes in details of course content that are desirable to keep abreast of developments in the field. For several years increasing atten- tion has been given to fire hazards and fire protection in buildings in course of construc- tion; to the grave problems involved in the widespread use of pyroxylin lacquers applied by spraying processes; to the hazards of nitro- cellulose films used in x-ray and portrait pho- tography; to the use of new and hazardous anestctics in hospitals; to the fire protection of hangars and other properties at air ports; to the many new designs of equipment for automatic sprinkler installations, particularly of heat-sensitive devices and of dry-pipe valve accelerating devices; and of valves for high-pressure standpipe systems. In the dis- cussion of insurance, time has been given to a consideration of recent changes of practice in the use of reporting forms”; to the marked increase in the activity of inland marine insurance departments in writing policies providing broad coverage; and to the assumption of liability for damage due to inherent explosion hazard and to smudge in dwellings, the latter two coverages being now more important than formerly on account of DEPARTMENT OF FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING the considerable use of oil and of gas for domestic heating. Students in fire protection engineering are registered in many courses given by other departments at the Institute, in some eases for fundamental humanistic, scientific, or en- gineering subjects, in others for instruction specially organized for fire protection en- gineers. In all cases this department has had • most satisfactory cooperation. The professional laboratory work of the department continues to be carried on at the well-equipped plant of Underwriters’ Labo- ratories, the testing station of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. During the past year the hydraulic equipment at the Labora- tories has had important additions. An Allis- Chalmers centrifugal pump, with a rated capacity of 1000 gallons per minute at 500 pounds pressure, is driven by a direct-con- nected 2300-volt alternating-current motor rated at 600 horse-power, with variable speed controller. The discharge line is provided with a 3-inch and an 8-inch Venturi meter with a direct-reading manometer. A Repub- lis flow-meter with direct-reading dial has been installed to measure flows in pipes of various sizes from 2 2 to 8 inches. T wtnly-tluhl DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE Before reviewing the events which have taken place in the Architectural Department during the year 1931-32, it might be well to point out the unique situation of the depart- ment in relation to the Chicago Art Institute. Controlled by Armour Institute, where the architectural students receive their scientific and cultural training, the Architectural De- partment occupies the rambling upper spaces of the Art Institute building and it turns, therefore, to the two institutions for help. In addition to the current exhibitions of the Art Institute, the department has held its own exhibitions of special interest. Among those held this year were the following: a large group of sketches and water color draw- ings executed by students and members ot the faculty during the summer; the Rome Prize Competition drawings; some paintings by Albert H. Krehbiel; drawings by J. E. Peterson which were done during the summer session of the Fountaincblcau school; Paris Prize Competition drawings; and the Travel- ing Exhibition of the Association of Collegi- ate Schools of Architecture. Mr. Ralph Hammet and Mr. J. E. Petersen are no longer members of the Architectural staff. Mr. Hammett is now at the University of Michigan and Mr. Petersen left Chicago liari II. Reed, Jr. for European travel. Mr. Roland Rathbun, who has come to the department from the University of Illinois, has taken over the class in Architectural History very successfully. The Senior Architectural students have en- joyed several inspection trips this year. Local judgments arc held in the depart- ment for each problem in Design, for ele- mentary problems as well as for the more advanced projets which are sent to the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design for judgment. A generous portion of First Mention and Medal awards have been received. It is the custom to invite outside architects for the local judgments and among those who have served as jurors are Messrs. Ralph Milman, Frank Hodgdon, Rudolph Nedved, George Nimmons, Ralph Faro, Hubert Burnham, L. M. Saint-Hubert, and Donald Nelson. A number of visitors have contributed in- spiring lectures and criticisms throughout the year. Mr. Victor Preotz gave a splendid illustrated lecture on Swedish Architecture; Mr. E. H. Bennett and Mr. R. E. Schmidt, architects, Mr. Sirko of the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company, Mr. M. H. Smith of the United States Gypsum Company, Mr. John Norton, artist, and Mr. E. Zcttlcr of the Art Institute have all given talks on different subjects relative to the current problems in Architectural Design. T went y-nine LOUIS CELESTIN MONIN Professor Monin was born in St. Gall, Switzerland, November 9, 1857; on November 8, 1931, word was received that our revered friend and colleague of many years had passed away. Professor Monin was of noble ancestry. Through his veins flowed the blood of the aristocracy of Europe. Never did there live a man who carried his inherited characteristics more nobly, nor who lived a more complete and useful life. Thirty-four years of his life were spent in the institution he loved so well, and his affection was worked into and through the whole fabric of its varied interests. But it was with the students that he delighted to mingle, and everyone thought of him as a sincere and sympathetic friend. His arm was long, his sympathy unlimited, and his ways were helpful, tactful ways. We mourn with profound grief, the irreparable loss of our former Dean and Professor, beloved, admired, revered, as teacher, scholar, friend. None knew him but to love him; none named him but to praise.” Thirty STUDENT ADMINISTRATION THE ARMOUR TECH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Stanley M. Lind Arthur W. Obcrbcck Roy W. Carlstrom Stanley M. Lillis George S. Allison John J. Schommer J. F. McNamara. M. D. William C. KrafTt President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Director of Athletics Medical Adviser Instructor in Physical Training Stanley M. Lind Organized a decade ago, the Armour Tech Athletic Association has served since that time as the representative of the student body in school affairs. Every student is a member, and each class elects a representa- tive. With the exception of the freshman delegate these students arc also the officers of the Association, and together with the administrative officers of the Institute and three members of the faculty, constitute the Board of Athletic Control. As the Associa- tion is too large to participate directly in the management of athletics, the Board of Con- trol manages the various activities in which the A. T. A. A. has an interest. The purpose of the organization is to co- ordinate all athletic activities, develop and sustain an Armour spirit, and promote inter- class relations. It directs the competitive sports, including basketball, track, baseball, boxing, swimming, tennis, golf, and rifle shooting. Coaches, directors, and medical expenses for these teams arc maintained by it. A’s” are awarded by the officers of the association upon the recommendations of the coaches. These are given for proficiency in the sport, serious effort, and adherence to training rules. The A. T. A. A. awards A” blankets to graduating men who have won major A’s”. These are football blankets with a large A attached. The association promotes interfraternity and intcrclass ath- letics, such as baseball, basketball, track, and tennis. These contests promote the partici- pation in sports of a large number of students and arc a means of discovering material for varsity teams. To the same end, school tour- naments are held in tennis, golf, and boxing. Every student is urged by the authorities of the Institute to take part in some sport in which he has skill or interest. Coaches and members of the teams are willing to help in developing the form of any prospective member. The school publications—the Cycle, the Armour Tech News, and the Armour En- gineer, arc financed by the association. A third branch of activities under its con- trol consists of the musical organizations— glee club, orchestra, band, and Stresses and Strains (a dance orchestra playing popular music). Each year the A. T. A. A. awards ten Honor Cycles on a basis of points earned by participation in athletics and various activi- ties, scholarship, and personality.

It is from that innocent, un- lettered doorway on Federal Street that those leaders of our scholastic activities, the faculty members, are seen emerging for their respec- tive classes. It is into that mysterious depth that we see our classroom heads tread their weary way when a free hour is at hand, or when the lunch recess arrives. The student, as a rule, would never pre- sume to enter this private sanctuary, but when for one reason or another one of the undergraduates does gain entrance, he sees his supposedly hard-hearted masters in an entirely new light. In these comfortably furnished rooms, our faculty has a cheery place to relax, to read, to hold decidedly un- weighty conversation, and horrors, to discuss the bad points of the students either as in- dividuals or as a whole. Professors, strange as it may seem, must have their full quota of recreation and sport. True, their mode of relaxation may involve grave discussions of the ionic structure of substances, or the ultimate stresses in steels, but in such directions lie their interests, and their pleasure. This year’s officers arc serving faithfully, and especially is this true in the case of Prof. Perry, the chairman of the smokes” com- mittee. He is the only pedagogue whose presence is dreaded within these portals. COMMITTEES House Committee C. R. Swineford, Chairman N. P. Peterson D. P. Moreton W. E. Kelly A. W. Scar W. J.

Schommcr As stated in its Constitution, the Armour Institute Alumni Association was organized in 1897 for the purpose of the promotion of fellowship and good will among its mem- bers; the continuation of the ties formed by them while students; and to keep alive their interest in the affairs of the A. I. T.” It has grown steadily in numbers and influence, and has been ever active, proving that its purpose has been attained. Membership in the Association is divided into three classes, active members, or those who are graduates of the technical college; associate members, or those who have com- pleted at least two years’ work in the tech- nical college; and honorary members, or those to whom the Association sees fit to ex- tend such membership. The active member- ship numbers above 3000. The work of the organization is carried on by the Executive Committee, the Trustees, the Advisory Council, and the Board of Managers. On December 17, 1931, the annual ban- quet and meeting was held at the Morrison Hotel. The speakers’ table was graced by the President of the Association, John J. Schommcr, ’12, the Secretary and Treasurer, Louis Hirsch, ’14, and other dignitaries. Be- low them spread a jolly crowd of some sixty grads who had returned once again to cement old friendships, make new ones, and to re- new their contact with the Institute. The business of the evening was executed as quickly as possible.

Hills, Jr., ’ll, replaced Maxmilian Woldenberg, ’06, and Franklin M. dc Beers, ’05, on the Advis- ory Council. Plans were laid for the coming Spring Banquet, which will be in charge of the class of ’07, this being its twenty-fifth anniversary. The meeting was followed by a brief bur- lesque account of the stock market by the prominent economist, Mr. Bert Byton. An Alumni Association is of great value to an educational institution, as it is the most reliable and convenient channel of communi- cation between the institution and the public from which it draws its support. But, on the other hand, the value of the Alumni Association to the graduate is even greater and should not be ignored by him. The Association extends a cordial greeting to its new members, and endeavors to give them an opportunity to continue their in- terest in their Alma Mater in a practical and substantial manner. It should be the pur- pose of every loyal man to ally himself actively with these interests and do his share in upholding and extending the usefulness and standards of the college which so long has been his home and pride.

SENIOR CLASS THE CLASS OF ’32 Wilbur H. Rudolf OFFICERS Wilbur H. Rudolf Alton J. Jungels John O. Cavanagh Alexander Bogot James J. Casey President Vice-President ...... Secretary Treasurer Social Chairman After four years of preparation, the class of ’32 is ready for Commencement. In look- ing backward over those years that have passed so swiftly, we can easily discern the great changes that have been wrought in our lives. Not only our educational back- ground and our technical training, but our outlook on life and our attitude toward the world we live in have undergone an amazing transition. The fellowship that has devel- oped among the members of the class through daily association and common interests is alone worth all the hardships and difficulties that have been encountered. Each of us feels that time and distance cannot erase friend- ships such as these. As freshmen, we spent a large part of the year in orienting ourselves to college life, which was so different from anything wc had previously experienced. The friendliness and the eagerness of the faculty to aid us brought forth a new response, and we assumed a feel- ing of responsibility with the absence of strict discipline. The success of our first social event, the Freshman Informal, did much to encourage those of us who still felt ’'green,” and the occasion of the Class Rush, when we vanquished the heretofore envied sophomores, finally established our individuality and valor. We were better prepared upon returning to school the following year. Previous warn- ings of the difficulty of the second year were more than amply justified, and yet with the familiarity with routine and the habits of study wc had formed wc were able to with- stand the academic onslaught. Still, there were no audible regrets when the second year was finally left behind. The third year brought with it an enjoy- ment and an appreciation of college life that wc had not yet experienced. We studied the applications of the fundamental principles A n nouncement Com mittee John R. Jackson, Jr., Chairman George L. Bonvallct Jerome B. Dirkcrs James S. McCall Harvey C.

Ca«y wc had learned in the previous two years, and so our school work was of greater in- terest. Of even greater importance was the increase in social functions, for as juniors we were the social elite of the school. These activities were fittingly climaxed with Junior Week and the Junior Prom. As seniors, wc delved for the first time into the economical aspects of engineering. Other subjects yet unencountcrcd kept us busy, together with the laboratory work and the reports which had demanded so much of our time the year before. Individual mem- bers of the class distinguished themselves by executive leadership on the various school publications, the Armour Tech News, the Armour Engineer, and the Cycle. Others won laurels by membership in honorary fra- ternities. The Senior Informal and the Senior Banquet brought to an end the social affairs of the class. With so much to do, and so little time left, the year passed all too swiftly. Finally, the class of '32 enjoyed the events which occur but once in our college careers. The Baccalaureate Sermon, delivered to the seniors assembled as a group for the last time before Commencement, was rich in ad- vice and inspiration not found in text books. Later in the week came Commencement Day itself, and then the final departure from the scene of our transition from youths to men. A feeling of satisfaction quieted a tinge of regret felt by each of us. And now, the goal we set out as freshmen to reach has been passed, and other goals stretch out before us. A foundation has been built upon which we base our hopes and am- bitions for future success. Armour has pointed the way to a higher knowledge of men and things. Guided by this, we are confident and unafraid of what the future may bring. Pbotogra pby Com mil tee Oscar Eskoncn, Chairman Orville G. Linncll Raymond A. Peterson Max J. Schinke John E.

Three years ago we entered as green freshmen—one year from now we depart as sedate seniors. The time reviewed seems short, yet how far away did the august junior ap- pear when we were freshmen? Now, in looking backward, these years, though not without their share of difficulties and mo- ments of pleasure, have passed all too quickly. As lowly freshmen we struggled diligently and looked forward with a great deal of ex- pectancy to the time when it would be our privilege as lordly juniors to maintain the time-honored custom of working assiduously yet appearing leisurely. Alas, the time has come and gone, and we have found that ap- pearing at leisure is almost a senior’s task. Dim memories of those great old freshman days appear now in our minds. The joviality of the Freshman Handshake, the madness of the fraternity rushing season, the steady grind of study, the social life, intcrclass ath- letics and the class rush all merge to give one a hazy remembrance, punctured here and there with sharp recollections of that first year at Armour.

The second year soon resolved itself into a series of crams for quizzes, writing reports, or charetting” at the Art Institute. This proved to be the most devastating period of our educational life, as here physics and cal- culus seemed to be the piers most likely to crumble when crossing the bridge from the sophomore to the junior year. And then this, our third year at Armour, our first in the last half of our college life. Its memories arc sharp and clear in contrast to those of our first year. Sharp and clear not only because of its rcccntness but also because of the brilliancy of the events in it. Class election. Junior Informal, Junior Week, Junior Prom, each stand out in this all-too-short junior year with a distinct and noteworthy prominence. In previous years the class has been well guarded and directed by the faculty in its studies, but now we have been placed upon our own initiative and resourcefulness. In meeting this drastic change in educational policy the class of ’33 has accepted and an- swered the challenge of fitness in a manner worthy of engineers. While not losing sight of the primary purpose of coming to college, the members of the class realize that technical training Hoffman. Dumser, Krawitz, Snclling, F.bcrth, Cohan. Lange, Hulswit.

Fishman Stvtnly-on Kodinton, Peekman, Obcrbeck, Lange alone is insufficient for material success. Thus they have diversified their efforts to include the athletic, literary, and social activities, as well as scholastic endeavor. In athletics, the class is well represented. It furnishes a large number of varsity men to the school. While not always successful in carrying off the banner in intcrclass com- petition, at least the victors were forced to exert themselves to the utmost. It is the belief of the members of the class that a sound body as well as a sound mind is essen- tial in the equipment necessary for success. Interclass athletics provide an opportunity for those of us of only ordinary ability to develop ourselves physically, and therefore form an important part of every student’s curriculum. Other activities have also engaged our at- tention. Those of us who aspire to literary fame have found opportunities on the staffs of the various school publications, the Ar- mour Tech News, the Armour Engineer, and the Cycle. The musical organizations have been well aided in produeng chords and dis- cord by many of the class members. That the members of the class arc skillful in hit- ting the mark” is evident by the large num- ber represented on the Rifle Team. Then, too the engineering societies of the different departments have received the heartiest co- operation from the class, since it realizes the Sri fitly-luo Barnett, Johannmon, llollmann, Moline, Jcnten, Paine.

In recognizing the importance of scholar- ship and extra-curriculum activities, the class has not neglected that important and en- joyable aspect of college life, the social func- tions. The Informal Dance, held in Janu- ary, at least equaled if it did not surpass sim- ilar functions in the past, while the Junior Prom, held during Junior Week, was unan- imously voted a huge success. It was here that dreamy music and a mellow atmosphere produced a real appreciation of college life. The Prom gave a sparkle and a zest to the college school year that could not be obtained in any other manner, and was a most fitting cljmax to Junior Week. Altogether our third year has been the most enjoyable of them all. It is in this year that the class politicians rise into prominence; that the social life reaches a peak never equaled before or in the future. It is here that the juniors show themselves to be the most prominent organized group in the school. Too soon the third year has passed, and that elusive fourth year will slip between our fingers in a like manner, leaving us finally on the threshold of life. McWilliamt, Gabriel, Jackvon. Alexander.

Avery President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Social Chairman Sargeant-at-Arms Half the battle finished” and half the victory won” in reaching the goal of a college education, a degree, and the right to a posi- tion as a lull-fledged engineer. Such arc the thoughts of the members of the class of ’34 as they stand mid-way in their college career. During their first two years, the class of '34 has not hesitated to show its class spirit in the class room and socially. The struggle they have had to survive at Armour has only strengthened this spirit and will serve as a good foundation on which to build the next two crucial years. As the class entered its sophomore year, there seemed to be a slight feeling of superi- ority among its members in that they had left the ranks of frosh, but they were soon humbled when the professors began giving problems in physics, calculus and mechanics. Then they derived satisfaction only from the thought that these difficult subjects would be things of the past in the spring of 33. The theory of evolution has been proven to exist even in school life. As these men look back on their freshman work, they real- ize that it was elementary in comparison with the type and volume of studies and studying incorporated into the sophomore year. Con- sequently, they arc facing the junior and senior years knowing that hard tasks are in view, but with the stamina to put up a good fight, as they have the basic fundamentals Bewcrsdorf, Omiccinski, Lillis, McBrady, Kapccki, Shaw, Hutchinson, Storey, Nelson, Nuctzcl Finlay, Henoch, D’Alba, Stasiulis, Jacobson, Thompson, Gray, Dobson, Strcb Thomas.

Peterson, Rummell, Callen of engineering as weapons to aid them in going through and proving the calibre of the members of the class as engineers. A close feeling of relationship has been de- veloped among the fellow members of ’34. Each man realizes that he as well as his class- mate is striving for the same purpose, and thus a comradeship that could not be gained in any other manner is achieved by the em- bryo engineers. Our relationship has changed from a mere Hello, Stranger.” in 1931, to Say, pal, let’s get together on this! in 1932, showing that through similar work we gain friendship and comradeship. The class has not only shown definite prog- ress in a scholastic way but has considerably enlarged its social and athletic scopes. All may look to their laurels when ’34 athletes are about, as they have built up a formidable reputation. This was accomplished as a re- sult of their coming into the limelight early in the freshman year when they snatched both interclass baseball and basket ball cham- pionships and later corroborated their ability in their victory in the Class Rush of 1931. There has not been any degradation in the sophomore year, as the ’34 teams gave the seniors a hard fight for the baseball cham- pionship and later captured the basket ball championship from them. Several of the men have gained places on the Varsity Team also, and we arc mighty proud of them. La Force, Coime. Burkhardt. Casey, Lantz, Bloom. Morrclli. Lewus. Leonard. Alexander Wood. Curran.

Graham Members have participated in almost every field of athletics and having shown their de- pendability and mettle early in their school life, we have confidence in their ability to make the class of ’34 famed in athletics in both junior and senior years. The class has had several successful social events and proved that even studious, pros- pective engineers can step out and enjoy themselves. At such events we arc gentle- men engineers” in the midst of a happy social whirl. The occasion of the class dance proved to be the ultimate in gayety and splendor. Class members have been interested in all curricula activities of the school and have been prompt to respond to these interests by joining the various organizations and taking an active part in them. They know that, in order to get the full benefit of their college education, they must make the most of all the opportunities offered them, and that all these participations will add to their future career as engineers. The sophomore class fully appreciates and also wishes to thank the faculty for the effort and interest they have taken with the class as a whole and the individual members.

Casev might be difficult for a professor to perceive this), that such training means much to him and will gradually build up for him a life work. The class understands that it is not more engineers that our country needs most, but better trained ones. Therefore these mem- bers of '34 are willing to try their best in order to meet this qualification and at the same time to uphold the traditions and stand- ards of Armour Institute as the previous classes have done, and the future classes will do. It is the duty of the members of the class to endeavor to solve the problems as they are set before them and to familiarize themselves with the practical application of the funda- mentals of engineering. Having had two years’ background in all the various aspects of Armour school life, namely, in education, social life, sports, and organizations, the class of ’34 feels compe- tently equipped to enter upon the last two years of its college life with not only the thought of going forward but determined in that progress to succeed.

Albano ......President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Social Chairman Sergeant-at-Arms On September 23, 1931, two hundred and seventy freshmen passed through the portals of Armour Institute for the first time; the largest freshman class in the history of the school. This group was selected from over seven hundred applicants, and therefore much is expected from them in the next three years. The class has been made to feel this, and already have made an excellent start in realizing the expectations of the upperclass- men. The first day of October brought the first class assembly of the new students. The usual chaos which results when the freshmen get organized” was noticeably absent. Tem- porary committees were chosen and func- tioned in a smooth manner. The pro-tem officers took charge of their duties until the election of the class officers could be con- ducted. From the hard-fought campaign, it is evident that the class of ’3 5 will furnish several excellent politicians to increase the fame of Armour Institute. To the members of this class, these first few days were the beginning of a new trans- ition in their lives. The radical change from anything they had previously experienced for a moment plunged them into a sea of bcwil- Granger, Faro, Dushek. Dome. Freilinger.

One event which did much to make the freshmen feel at home was the Freshman Handshake, which was conducted under the supervision of the upperclassmen, and re- ceived excellent support from the faculty and the musical organizations. At last the new men were able to meet the upperclass- men on equal terms, and as a result many fine friendships were formed that night. As in previous years the affair was climaxed by the precedential serving of apple cider and doughnuts. This time-honored custom re- lieved any tension still in the atmosphere. The morning of October third swept into the lives of the new students with a rush. The long awaited fraternity rushing began in earnest. Each individual became over- night the man of the hour. The daily social functions made their presence felt in the classroom, but only for a few days. The freshmen were in the limelight and reigned supreme with an arrogance surprising and painful to the upperclassmen, but that, too, lasted only a few days. The highlight of the interclass baseball tournament was the freshman-sophomore game, held on October 15. Although the Smith, Twerp, Hell� , Ahern, Fenike, O'Connor, Savidi . Jones, Henning, Slaven .

Collar, Wheaton, Bicglcr new men were an unknown quantity, many expected their superiority over the sopho- mores to be too great for the upperclassmen to overcome, but this idea was dispelled when the sophomores coasted to a 9-0 victory. In basket ball, the freshmen once more fought gamely but hopelessly, and the sophomores turned in a 29-5 decision. In spite of these defeats, the class boasts of several aspirants to varsity positions and hopes to wipe out their early failures with a decisive victory over the sophomores in the Class Rush. That the class possesses initiative and resourceful- ness was proven by the fact that a wrestling team was organized solely through their efforts. The other extra-curricular activities of the class are far-reaching. Representative mem- bers are already putting forth their best ef- forts on the Armour Tech News, the Armour Engineer, and the Cycle. Several literary genii appear to be present, who will in two or three years be fitted to take over the edi- torial and executive reins on the staffs of these publications. Then there are those who are prominent in one of the musical organi- zations, including the orchestra, the band, and the glee club. Others less talented show their versatility by interesting themselves in one of the clubs or organizations. As prog- ress is made in the education of the class, more time will be allowed for extra-curricular atcivities, for the class realizes how important they arc to a well-rounded and fully devel- Eigbly-four Elliott, Stocking, Chiappc.

Then, too, as upperclassmen, the class of ’35 will be eligible for member- ship in the engineering societies, which will provide an opportunity for valuable contacts with practicing engineers and bring the members of each department into a more compact group. From a review of the past achievements of this class, we see an abundance of material for every school activity in the ranks. The class has an enthusiastic spirit which promises well for the future, and it is evident that this material will not be wasted. Although the passage of the first year has brought about many changes in the personnel of the class, for the hazards that the men have passed through have left their mark, those wfto remain arc older and wiser, and profit by the experiences they have encountered. They arc ready to face the next three years with a confidence in their ability to weather any academic storm. The habits of study that they have formed in their first year at Armour will prove to be of invaluable aid to them in their future training. They have the records and the traditions of the many who have gone before them to uphold, and they will not only follow in their footsteps, but will endeavor to raise the fame of Ar- mour Institute to a new and lofty position. Their greatest opportunities, their finest ac- complishments, lie still before them. We look forward to seeing them establish a record that any class might well be proud of. Walker, Hillman, Kvapil.

SOCIAL JUNIOR INFORMAL The social committee of the class of 1933 had fully decided to make their all-import- ant Junior Informal one to be remembered. The committee selected as the dance site, the Oriental Room of the Hotel Knicker- bocker. The date, February 19, 1932, was well chosen, being at the beginning of the sec- ond semester, when school duties could keep very few away. Most important of all, and vastly more unique, was the orchestra selected. For the first time in Tech’s social history, a colored orchestra, Cass Simpson’s Band from Harlem”, was chosen to preside. The novelty of this selection, with the delightfully en- chanting music presented and the well chosen programs served as magnetic drawing cards. SFNIOR INFORMAL This first class-informal of the school year was the last to be presented to Armour men by the graduates of 1932. Our fellow-students converged at exactly nine, in the beautiful lobby of the Medinah Athletic Club. Each came with a fair and beautifully gowned young maiden clinging proudly to his arm. Thence, via the swiftly rising elevators, they were transported to a veritable fairyland, the Main Ballroom. Now all introductions were completed, and all programs filled out, and the music commenced. To the rhythm provided by Waddy Wadsworth’s R-K-O Orchestra each young couple glided swiftly away. Senior Social Committee Beal Yount Baumann Tran ten Casey Ninety THE FRESHMEN SMOKER Armour’s frosh held their annual smoker and evening of good fellowship at the beau- tiful and newly dedicated Lawson Y.M.C.A. This tall monument to American Youth provided an entirely fitting location for a social gathering of such serious students of engineering as Tech freshmen arc. March 11th, a Friday evening at the beginning of spring, was the time chosen. The entertainment included a really clever skit by the Armour Players, some selections by a student orchestra under R. Albano, and to close the meeting a humorous but enlight- ening talk by Prof. Schommcr. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the eve- ning’s activities. INTERHONORARY BANQUET The fifth annual Interhonorary Banquet given by and for the active members and pledges of the honorary organizations at Armour was held on December 16, 1931. The site was the Silver Room of the Hotel Knickerbocker. As the many individual appetites were ap- peased, Professor Hcald, as toastmaster, rose to briefly introduce our already well-known friend and leader, Doctor Scherger. Our professor gave an excellent discourse advis- ing against any tendencies of an individual to lead a one-sided life, and so to lose a proper perspective. He then introduced the evening’s main speaker, Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder, head of the Chicago Postoffice. Ninety-one THE A. T. A. A. INFORMAL DINNER 1931 The Second Annual Armour Tech Ath- letic Association Informal Dinner for the athletes of Armour was held on the evening of May 2 5, 193 1, in College Hall of the University Club. In the spring of 1930, the A. T. A. A. conceived the idea of having an annual ban- quet in honor of the men who keep the spirit of athletic competition alive at Armour. To it are invited all those men who have earnestly tried for a place on one of the Tech teams, whether or not he has won an award. The site of the banquet was ideal, being as it was, in an atmosphere of collegiate ac- tivity and influence. The one hundred thirty- two young men present were greeted with a beautiful vista of shining damask-clad tables and glistening silver and glassware as they entered College Hall. At the speakers’ table, on a slightly elevated dais, were re- served places for President Raymond, Dean Penn, Athletic Director Schommer, Mr. Allison, and the officers of the A. T. A. A. Professor John J. Schommer served as an excellent and highly successful toastmaster, making an interesting short talk regarding the athletic possibilities at Armour. Dr. Raymond gave a really humorous discourse on his own athletic career, and Dean Penn, bringing the topics down to a more serious vein, spoke of his policies as regards athletics for the undergraduate, and especially the technical student. JUNIOR FORMAL Armour conducts only one formal dinner- dance during the school year, and this glorious finale’ to Tech’s social activity is under the direction of the Junior class. Hold- ing to tradition, the formal was presented as a brilliant climax to Junior Week, and was on the evening of Friday the thirteenth of May. The Junior social committee had wisely selected the very beautiful ballroom of the Drake Hotel, and had obtained the services of Johnny Maitland’s orchestra. The dinner was indeed a piece of culinary skill, and with the artistic and delightfully unusual favors presented to the feminine guests, is it any wonder that the memory of this rapturous evening will live long in the hearts of each young couple in attendance. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE INFORMAL For the first time in Armour’s social his- tory, an informal sponsored by two classes was presented. This dance, the third of the season, sponsored by both the freshman and sophomore groups, was held on Friday, April fifteenth. The committee, under the able leadership of the co-chairmen, F. E. Hcaden, ’34, and G. W. Wheaton, ’3 5, selected the gorgeous Gold Room of the Congress Hotel as an ideal setting. Our informals have always been presided over by prominent orchestras, and this time as Tweet” Hogan and his orches- tra were at hand to provide the necessary melodious strains. INTERHONOR ARY DANCE Social activity is not the purpose of the organization of any of the honorary societies at Armour. However, even the brilliant scholars, journalists, and musicians of Tech must seek recreation at times. The Honorary Fraternity Council has annually presented an informal dance, the privilege of attendance being accorded only those boasting member- ship or pledgeship in one or more of the honor societies. The attendance was, of course, entirely of juniors, and seniors, and it seemed almost in- evitable that a slight feeling of melancholy should prevail; the men realizing, as they do, that soon they will leave behind them such enjoyable pleasures as this, and such solid friendships as arc cemented by kindred in- terests and fraternity brotherhood. Ninf y-itto JUNIOR WEEK Sandberg, Jungch, Grundurom, Long, Waindlc JUNIOR WEEK, 1931 Junior Week!—the one week of the thirty- six when the embryo engineers lay down their texts and lock up their slide-rules in order that they may give unhampered play to the spirit of joy and to athletic competition. Sports and fun arc as essential to the young ( . Nelson, Pentathlon Winner man studying engineering as they are to any other student, although it is not generally realized. During this five-day period, his time is taken up completely with baseball, track, tennis, the interfraternity sports, the Home Concert, Open House Night, Circus Day, and last and perhaps best, the Junior Formal. On Monday afternoon, May eighteenth, activities began with a baseball game featur- ing the Tech Varsity and an Alumni aggre- gation. The contest’s result was highly satisfactory to our Varsity. On that same afternoon an interesting tennis match with the Lake Forest College team was won by Tech, four to three, on the Armour Courts. Open House Night featured the first evening, and despite a dismal rain, a record attendance of twenty-five hundred visitors was recorded. The exhibits were varied and more interesting than ever before, and were enthusiastically received by the many spec- tators. Wednesday afternoon was occupied by a hard-fouchr tennis match between the Tech team and Valparaiso University. The Hoosier visitors finally conquered, five matches to four. Ninety-four Theta Xi’s parody, The Mechanici oi American Injustice . Wednesday evening everyone gathered in Armour Mission to the annual Home Con- cert, and the Interfraternity Sing. The concert was the most successful held in recent years, and featured selections by the Glee Club, the Orchestra, and the newly created Chemical Orchestra. These organizations performed in a manner astounding to all, especially so when it is recalled that every man is hard at work on his technical studies and has but little time to give to the required practice. The Interfraternity Sing was de- lightful, producing, as it did, two beautiful songs from each group. Delta Tau Delta was adjudged the winner, and in the opinion of the entire audience well deserved the honor. At this point Dr. Raymond presented the loving cup emblematic of their victory, and also presented the Honor Cycles to the Honor Edition Award Men of the Class of 1931. Thursday afternoon was a busy time, inas- much as this was the occasion of holding the annual Interfraternity Track Meet. There was tense competition throughout for both individual and group honors. Finally Tri- angle with 46 2 points w.-r announced the winner, and the receiver of the traveling cup for 1931. Obcrbeck, of the Triangle Fra- ternity, was high point man of the meet, and as such received a gold medal. Circus Day, Friday, was the day of days, best and busiest of them all. Then the spirit of sport and joy reached its climax. On this day the academic subjects, important as they are, are entirely forgotten by the students, and all their energies arc devoted to the many activities filling their all too short time. First of all in the day’s events was the Intcrclass Relay, always a hotly contested Official Program Ninety-five Freshmen Win Class Rush affair. The junior team won a very fast race from some mediocre competition offered by the other classes. The annual Pentathlon Competition occu- pied the remainder of the morning, and fur- nished much of tenseness and spectacular in- terest to all the spectators. Excellent per- formances were turned in, the contestants being the outstanding track and field athletes on the Tech track team. Armour’s stellar freshman, George Nelson, won with a total of 4387 points, A. Jens and J. James being tied at second position with 4036 points each. The Interfraternity Relay was held in the late forenoon, and was won by Phi Pi Phi, in a desperately contested race. A short pause in the activities for lunch. and then preparations were undertaken for that annual classic, the Class Rush. It was a bloody affair with many torn shirts and trousers, and not a few scraped shin-bones. The far outnumbered sophomores, under Roy Carlstrom, were forced to bow finally to the fierce onslaught of the Frosh, led by Arthur Larson, and the final tally, counted in sacks, was 32 to 13. Photographs were taken of the battle by one of the metropolitan dailies. The awards for all winners during the week were now given out from the judges’ stand by I)r. Raymond, and Junior Week was over for 1931. That is, over for all save those fortunate juniors and seniors who were to attend the Junior Formal to be held that evening in the Oriental Room. Ninety-six Ninel y-if ten SUMMER CAMP, 1931 Every year, in each freshman class, the men look forward to the time when they will be able to enjoy six exciting weeks in the great north woods of Wisconsin at Camp Armour. Accordingly, on Friday, June 12, a group of eighteen, comprised mainly of freshmen civil engineers, departed from the Union Station, bound for Camp Armour situated in a scenic portion of land bordering Trout Lake. The bus transported them to State House from Minoequa. Here, the camp in- structors and the camp Ford, piloted by H. C. Rossing, in addition to several who motored up, gave the boys a cheerful welcome. From here, the tedious trek of one-half mile to the camp began, with the boys unwillingly re- linquishing their instruments, which they had so faithfully brought with them, and then the Ford carrying this prqcious load hurriedly rattled out of sight. Upon arriving at the camp, the nearly famished men dug into a noon-day meal as though nothing else mattered. The remain- der of the afternoon was used in preparing the camp to suit each individual whim of the campers. On the following Monday, the work be- gan. Taping, use of the transit and level, and then more practical work as triangula- tion, laying out bridge piers, area of land. The Recreation Union and Siesta for Three One H tt ml re J railroad location problems, and others con- stituted the surveying work. Week-ends were spent in exploring the country by the majority of the campers, and the rest used their time to better advantage by reeling” in the deep sea monsters of Trout Lake. As the result of some frivolous play with a baseball, a game was held with the Red Arrow Camp on lower Trout Lake, and the result was a bitter memory embedded within the hearts of Camp Armour’s men. Six pro- fessors visited the camp on the first Sunday and brought about nineteen good sized fish. We had so many fish dinners that those who went fishing almost endangered their lives if they brought in any fish. The sport was quite productive this year, and the swim- ming proved to be excellent. Many of the socially minded men went to the dances in the dear old town of Trout Lake which consists of a dance hall and a general store, both owned by the same man. July 4th saw many visitors in camp, but no brilliant displays of fireworks were evi- dent, although everyone had a good time. During the last few weeks of camp, a barn- storming plane blew in and nearly everyone in camp viewed the forests from the air. What a sight that was! On Friday, July 24, the tents came down and the men boarded the old Iron Horse, making their way to Minocqua where a short wait brought the Fisherman’s Special which brought them to the most welcome sight of all—Chicago.

SCHOMMER’S MESSAGE Sportsmanship embraces many fine and subtle attitudes of mind. The game, what- ever played, should be loved for its own sake and played with scrupulous regard to rules. It respects an opponent and commends and admires his excellence. It doesn’t resort to vindictive spirit and hates a quitter, a boaster, an alibicr or a hypocrite. It always faces odds with determination, courage and mental alertness; and in the presence of defeat, maintains self respect, dignity and good will toward opponent. John J.

A noteworthy event took place in the fall of 1931, when the Armour baseball team, coached by W. C. Krafft, became affiliated with the Northern Intercollegiate Confer- ence. The league for the 1932 season is made up of Armour, Elmhurst, Lake Forest, Mount Morris, North Central, and Wheaton. The baseball team won eleven of the fourteen games played during the 1931 season and defeated three members of the league: Lake Forest, Wheaton, and North Central. Basketball also had a successful season un- der Coach Krafft. Since the University of Illinois decided not to hold its annual relays. Armour held a meet April 2, 1932, at the University of Chicago field. The track team coached by A. A. Stagg, Jr., also had a good season, the outdoor team winning four of seven meets and the indoor team one of five meets. The tennis and golf teams had stiff com- petition and failed to win a majority of their games. One Hundred Tuenly-foui Hendrick , Utra k, Carhtrom, Knox.

Originally it was organized as the governing body of athletics at Armour; in 1923 it was supplanted by the Armour Tech Athletic Association in that capacity, and now exists as a society to promote athletics and to bind the athletes, coaches, students, and alumni more closely together. The badge of the society is a gold A” charm. Membership in Honor A” is restricted to juniors and seniors. The sixth annual fall athletic reunion was held on December 1, 1931, at the Phi Kappa Sigma house after the alumni-varsity basket- ball game. It was a unique banquet in that no speakers were present. Instead all those present attended the play, The Blue Ghost,” at the Playhouse Theatre. Most of the coaches and many alumni were present at the banquet.

Robin, batted out one of the best year’s records by winning eleven and losing only three games. Manager Tom Woods sched- uled a few of the strongest college teams in the Middle West, some of them beating the Big Ten teams in regular games. lid Stehno ended his collegiate career by winning six and losing two games, his best game this year being a one hit game against De Kalb on May 26. Stehno is now with Dubuque of the Mississippi Valley League. LcRoy Lynch, freshman star, also had a good season by winning five and losing one game. Gold baseballs were personally awarded by Coach W. C. Krafft to Vic Omiecinski, who led the batting with an average of .392; Chief” Stehno, for his remarkable pitching record; and Captain C. J. Robin, for his all- round playing while being on Armour’s teams for the past four years. Forty-five men answered Coach Krafft’s call for baseball material during the first week in March, and of these eighteen were either pitchers or catchers. Veterans from last year were Stehno, Pepe, Link, Robin, Mago, and Michalski, while new recruits were Omiecinski, Moskowitz, Sommer, Galvani, Lynch, Young, and Reed. Crane College was the first to fall at the hands of the Tech baseball team, losing by a score of 5 to 1 on Ogden Field, Wednesday, April 15. Stehno was the star of the game, striking out eight men and hitting two doubles which scored two runs. Although each team made six hits, the concentrated hitting by the Armour batters proved to be the decisive factor. An April shower finally forced abandonment of the game at the end of the sixth inning. Armour, by a score of 5 to 2, was the win- ner of a closely fought game with North Central College of Naperville which was One Hundred Twenty-tight Mago, V.

Until the seventh inning, with the score 3 to 2, the outcome war. still doubtful but Mosko- witz hit a double and Robin followed up with a home run, the first of the season. Lynch turned in a good game by allowing only six hits and striking out eleven men. An eighth inning rally, netting Western State Normal three runs, spelled defeat for Armour in the 6 to 3 conflict staged April 24 on the home grounds. This was the first defeat of the team for the season, and the first in three years for Stchno. Three hits by Capt. Robin and a home run by Vic Omiecinski were the highlights of Tech’s batting. In a scheduled seven inning game extended to eight innings, Armour defeated Morton, 9 to 8, at Ogden Field on Monday, April 27. Buehne, the starting pitcher, was relieved by Lynch in the fourth inning after being in- jured. Armour had the lead most of the time, but Morton caught up several times and threatened to take the offensive but each time the Krafftsmen would forge ahead and prevent a rally. Chief” Stchno turned in an excellent game against Lake Forest by allowing only Pcpc Rounds First Base One lluuJrtJ Thirty Gilvam Stchno Johnson four hits and striking out fifteen men. The game was played at Lake Forest on Thursday, April 30, and resulted in a 6 to 4 victory. Numerous errors by Tech players resulted in an overtime game of ten innings. Vic Omie- cinski won the game by hitting his third home run of the season in the final inning. On May 2, the Armour squad traveled to Naperville, and defeated North Central for the second time by a score of 5 to 2. Lynch held his opponents to five hits, while Mosko- witz starred by hitting three of a total of seven hits, one being a homer. In the third overtime game of the season, lasting seven innings, the Kraflttsmcn de- feated Wheaton on their field by a score of 5 to 4, Tuesday, May 5. Armour was held hitless until the fifth inning, but came through to win by snapping out of their batting lethargy after Wheaton had tied them in the ninth inning. The second loss of the season was registered May 8, when Michigan State Normal shut out Armour, 6 to 0, at Ypsilanti. The scat- tered hits of Tech were not equal to the occa- sion, although their opponents collected the same number of hits. May 13 saw the second defeat of Wheaton lie Wasn't Fast Enough One Hundred Tkitty-one by the Armour aggregation, this time by a score of 7 to 6 on Ogden Field. Stchno, who replaced Lynch, allowed no hits and won his own game by reaching first on an error, thus allowing the runner on third to make a dash for home. Revenge is sweet, and Armour tasted of it by defeating Michigan State Normal, 7 to 6, in a return game played May 15 on Ogden Field. Home runs by Robin, Michalski, and Stehno, along with two-base hits by Omie- cinski and Michalski, were a big factor of the game, which was very close. The annual game with the Alumni, played May 18, was won by the Varsity, the score being 10 to 3. Numerous errors by the Alumni resulted in most of the runs gath- ered by Tech. Samuels, ’24, and Schumacher, '23, pitched good ball for the Alumni, but lack of support on the part of their team- mates resulted in an unfavorable outcome to them. On May 23, Armour journeyed to Dc Kalb and defeated their team 7 to 0.

Armour’s eleventh baseball victory of the season was won at the expense of De Kalb by a score of 15 to 6. The game was played on Ogden Field on Tuesday, May 26, and was the second defeat of Dc Kalb. Free hitting was indulged in by both teams, although Dc Kalb did not score after the fourth inning. Armour, on the contrary, collected most of its runs in the last few innings, thirteen runs being recorded in that stage of the game. Lake Forest defeated Armour 6 to 3, in the last game of the season, played May 28 on the local grounds. Although Armour out- hit their opponents IS to 10, they failed to hit in the crises. The season ended with eleven wins and three losses on the books, a record only a strong team can show. The boys practiced after school several nights a week in order to develop their ability and skill to the utmost. A Graceful But Ineffective Swing One Hundred Thirty-three T R A C K Jamct.

The University of Chicago, with 74 points; Lake Forest, with 40 points; and Armour, with 34 points, placed second, third and fourth, respectively. Two meet records were broken and one relay record established in the two- thirds mile relay. One hundred and twenty athletes from eleven colleges competed. Black of Chicago, running the 50 yard high hurdles in 6.6 seconds clipped 0.1 sec- ond from the old mark established by Thompson of Marquette the year before. The University of Chicago relay squad, Jontry, East, Ramsey, and Cameron, estab- lished a meet record of 2:13.2 for the two thirds mile relay. Loyola ran second and Armour, represented by Fox, Hirsch, Nel- son, and A. J. Jens copped third place. By winning first in the one mile run and second in the 880 yard run, O’Neill of Loyola, with 18 points was high point man of the meet. Captain James of Armour ran a thrilling race in the two mile run to defeat Murtaugh, of Loyola, in the last ten yards for second place. A. H. Jens took fourth in the 50 yard dash finals from an initial field of 21 starters. Captain Fox, Hirsch, Nelson, One Hundred Thirty-eight Scttcrbcrj: I vcr von Hirsch and C.

Fox, the 440-yard dash; Nelson, the 50-yard low hurdles and the 880-yard run; C. Jens heaved the shot the farthest, James copped the two-mile run, and the relay team, consisting of K. S. Hirsch, H. L. Fox, E. E. Sademan, and A. H. Jens, placed first. Capturing twelve of fourteen first places, and 89 points against 36 points, Armour de- cisively won the first outdoor track meet, held April 14 at Ogden Field, against Chi- cago Normal. Armour scored in every event and slammed the half mile, shot put, javelin, and discus throw. Nelson, A. Jens, and C. Jens were high scorers. Nelson scored first in both hurdle races, the half mile, and the broad jump, making a total of twenty points. As a result of plac- ing first in two dashes, A. H.

Jens gathered eight points with first in the shot put and second in the javelin throw. D. Manson also showed well with first in the discus throw and third in the shot put. Captains Fox and James placed first in the 440 and one mile runs respectively. Cordes of Armour easily scored a first in the javelin with a toss of 128 feet. Red ’ Cunningham showed nice form to take first in the pole vault. Brefford, colored star, was best for Normal with 13 points, representing a first in the high jump, second in both hurdle races and third places in the 100 yard dash and the broad jump. Williams accounted for Nor- mal’s other first place flashing a strong last lap burst of speed to barely nose out Ander- son who was competing for the first time under Armour colors. Armour defeated Crane, 71 2 3 to 50 13, at Ogden Field, placing ten of fourteen firsts. George Nelson again starred by being high point man. Another outstanding performer w;as A. H. Jens, who placed first in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and ran on the winning relay team. For the third consecutive time Armour won an outdoor track meet, this time against Y. M. C. A. College, and the score was 73 to 52. Nelson won firsts in the low and high hurdles, broad jump, and high jump. James placed first in the mile and half mile runs; Captain Fox, the quarter mile; A.

The Milwaukee State Teachers and North Central College followed up closely with 70 points each. Seven new records wiere hung up, and one record equaled. The one mile run, 880-yard gallop, 220-yard dash, 220- yard low hurdles, high jump, discus throw, broad jump, and javelin throw records were assaulted successfully. Nelson broke the school records in the 220-yard low hurdles, setting up a new mark of 0:26.2, and A. Jens One Hundred Forty tied the school record for the 100-yard dash. They accounted for all of Armour’s points. Armour was swamped by Lake Forest, 92 to 33, in a meet held at Lake Forest. Nelson and James set records in the high jump and two mile run, respectively. Milwaukee State Teachers won a quad- rangular meet at Milwaukee, with Armour placing second. Whitewater and Y. M. C. A. Colleges finished third and fourth, respec- tively. Armour placed men in all the track events except the one mile run but showed exceptional weakness by placing in only four field events. The track team won its fourth meet to end the 1931 season. Tech placed first in the Sears-Roebuck Y. M. C. A. meet with 54 z points, leading Sears-Roebuck Y. M. C. A. by some 18 points. Members of the team deserve credit for winning against odds, for with classes until 5 o’clock and plenty of homework it isn’t easy to journey to Bartlett Gymnasium for prac- tice.

Although only seven Armour men were present, the team defeated La Grange by the close score of 46 to 45. Nelson was high point man with 26 4 points. In a triangular meet with La Grange and the University of Chicago B team. Armour emerged victorious. By winning nine firsts and nine places Tech garnered 57points, while La Grange took 43,i; and Chicago B trailed with 22. Nelson took high point honors, while Sademan and Lind ran fast races in the mile and 880 yard run respec- tively. On February 27, Sears Y” was defeated on its track by the fast stepping Armour squad. Tech amassed 42 points against its opponent’s 23 points, even with the handi- cap of a 27 lap to the mile track. The track team suffered its first defeat when North Central took the large end of a 62Vi to 41'2 score in a meet at Naperville. Several of the races were very close. In par- ticular the relay put the crowd on its feet when, after the baton was dropped at the third transfer, Nelson regained almost all the lost distance, losing by less than a foot. Sademan, Lind, and Nelson were the only Armour men to score firsts. Fox Goes Oierat 1 h' Sears- Roebuck Y M. C.

Forty-five men were prospects for the team, and although some good material was uncovered, no first-class guards were devel- oped from the recruits, Coach Kraflft being forced to experiment with various combina- tions well into the season. The first game of the season, which opened on December 3, resulted in a victory of 44 to 2 5, Tech’s opponents being the Alumni. Jennings and Ott starred for the Alumni in the forward positions and Hofer guarded well, but wasn’t able to cope with the ac- curate shooting of Captain Rossing and Christoph. Both teams made points in the first half, but the Varsity squad was ahead, 28 to 10. In the second half, numerous sub- stitutes were sent in for Tech and as the re- sult the points made during the latter period were about even, Varsity collecting sixteen and Alumni fifteen. In a practice game held the next day at the University of Chicago, Armour defeated the home team 27 to 19. The next victim of the Tech basketcers was the American College of Physical Education, whose team was routed by the score of 3 5 to 21. It was a rough affair while it lasted, 29 personal fouls being called on the two teams. Tech, with accurate passing, fed the ball mainly to Christoph, who, with eight baskets and three free throws, made two less points than Tech’s opponents. It was mainly due to Christoph’s basket shooting that Armour gained a six point lead in the first half. Blackmore starred for the Physical Ed. Boys, sinking one basket and four free throws. Robin and Rossing for Armour and Sclhan and Wiotow for Physical Ed. added points to make the score at the end of the first period 16 to 10. The second half saw baskets made in rapid succession by Setterberg, Beemsterboer, Rummel, Chris- toph, and Robin. Bol and Sherry scored for the opponents and then Christoph came back with several buckets in succession. The final Ont HunJrtJ Forty-four Rummcl. McLennan. Christoph. Setterbcrg, V. Omiccimki.

The first defeat was suffered at the hands of North Central at the Naperville school, the hard-fought contest ending in a 27 to 22 score. Although trailing by only one point at the end of the half, Tech was left behind during the second half. Two days later, on December 17, the Armour basketeers over- whelmed Crane College, 38 to 23. Tech took the lead early in the game, and was never headed, each member of the first team con- tributing at least four points with all the players participating. Captain Rossing tossed four baskets and a free throw, Ilg sank four field goals, and Set- terberg and Christoph added six points each. Captain Maloskie and Kraus starred for Crane, each scoring six points. In the roughest game of the season, De Kalb defeated Armour after two overtimes had been played. Eleven personal fouls were called on each team, and more should have been. Armour was behind until the last few seconds of play, when Settcrberg tied the score with a long shot. Each team scored a basket in the first overtime, but Dc Kalb scored two baskets to Tech’s free throw in the second overtime, winning the game, 30 to 27. The fourth home victory of Armour was Scttcrbcrg Sinks a l:ree Tbrou One Hundred Forty-iix Rommel V. Omiccimki ChrUtoph at the expense of Y. M. C. A. College. It was an exciting game, with the score tied repeatedly, and was a result of the Tech cagers being in poor form, as they should have scored more than the 31 to 29 result. The Tech team presented a well balanced squad as evidenced by the fact that every member who played broke into the scoring column. Christoph came through with ten points to lead the team in scoring. Chicago Y” College depended on its star forwards for their scoring, feeding the ball to Sprowles and Chatcr, the former sinking five baskets and four free throws, and the latter connecting with the basket five times also. Continuing in below par form, the Armour quintet was defeated by Augustana, 25 to 22, at Rock Island, on January 6. Although Tech had a large lead in the first half, they lost it in the last three minutes of play. Robin and Rossing starred for Armour. On January 21, by a score of 42 to 40, Armour defeated Wheaton in a spirited game which had the spectators on the edges of their scats. Armour had the lead most of the first half, but in the second half Wheaton was ahead by four points long enough to give some anxious minutes to Armour root- ers.

The outstanding player for Wheaton was Hcans, a forward, who sank seven bas- kets and three free throws for 17 points. The battle opened with Tech immediately gaining a four point lead but at the quarter Wheaton almost evened the count, failing by only one basket. Then the lead see-sawed back and forth. Armour coming out ahead at the half by a IS to 14 score. In the sec- ond half Armour lost the lead once but re- gained it almost immediately. In the last few seconds of play Armour had its narrow lead almost wiped out as a Wheaton man sank a basket as the whistle blew, the final score being 42 to 40. The following day Tech’s cagers had their first home defeat, which was admin- istered to them by the flashy and powerful Detroit City College quintet. Only two Detroiters scored, but it was enough to net them a 29 to 23 victory. In' a practice game, not on the schedule. Armour defeated Chicago Apprentice School, 40 to 26, on February 4. Two days later the team lost a hard fought game, 19 to 27, to Michigan State Normal at Ypsilanti, the score not indicating the closeness of the affair. Several days after that, Detroit City College won a poorly played game, 49 to 30, with Cornell starring for the Detroit team. The Tech guards were unable to stop the flashy forwards of the opposing team. Playing as a unit, and close pressed by their opponents throughout the game, the Armour cagers won 25 to 22 from Y” College on February 13. The two teams were seldom more than a few points apart, the game not being decided until the last minute of play. The next Wednesday, Crane defeated Armour. 27 to 24, in a contest which should have been won by Tech, but due to a bad slump in form Crane retaliated for a 23 to 38 defeat earlier in the season. Two days later the team had recovered from its slump enough to avenge a previous loss at the hands of Augustana. This time the Augustana team was sent home with a 22 to 16 defeat. The A Tense Moment For the Defense One Hundred Forty-eight team showed better form than that of the previous game, and Rossing, with two bas- kets and a like number of free throws; Bcemsterboer, with two baskets and a free toss; and Setterbcrg, with one basket and five gift tosses, were the principal Tech scorers. Schroedcr, an Augustana player, starred for his team by making four bas- kets and two free throws for a total of ten points. In the final game of the season, the Kraffts- men won an exciting game from Michigan State Normal. Armour had an appreciable lead early in the game, and successfully fought a rally of the Teachers which nearly reached its goal. Their attempt fell short of the mark by a 26 to 23 score in favor of Armour. Four men played their last game for Ar- mour. Captain Rossing, Robin, Setterbcrg, and Carlson will be lost from the next year's squad. Rossing ended four years of play with 323 points to his credit. Christoph, a sophomore, was high point man for the season, collecting a total of 98 points. The loss of these men will be keenly felt when Coach Krafft calls for candidates for 1932-33 births on his basketball team. Their inspiration and guidance went far towards making the team the powerful machine it was. With Captain-elect Bcemsterboer to build a new team around the prospects for next year look bright.

ROBIN Student in the Department of Citil Engineering, C. . Robin Thi: page is a special acknowledgment of the enviable record achieved by Clarence J. Robin. If the system of rating used as a basis in the awarding of Honor Cycles had been used in his case, he would undoubtedly have received award number one. In pre- vious years, there has been no precedent established as to the manner in which the problem of a five-year senior should be handled in the awarding of Honor Cycles. The Board of Athletic Control, which acts as an awarding body, has felt that it is an injustice to the members of a senior class to give an award for general activity to a man who is not a member of their class and who has not been in actual competition with men in their class. This year it has been decided to make particular mention of this man’s record in the Cycle, rather than award him one of the Honor Cycle Awards. Clarence J. Robin is surely one of the most outstanding men ever graduated from Armour Institute. He was an excellent stu- dent, a member of both Tau Beta Pi and Chi Epsilon, being president of Chi Epsilon. He was a member of the Varsity basketball squad for four years, holding the captaincy during his third year of competition. He was regular first-baseman on the baseball team for four years, being elected captain during his fourth year. In all, he received seven major letters, two of them captain’s letters, and one minor letter. He was a member of the Honor “A” society; president for one year. He was also active in the affairs of the civil engineering department, being an of- ficer in the Armour branch of the Western Society of Engineers. His career at the In- stitute was so well rounded that it speaks well for his future success in the field of engineering.

The matcher were hard fought, but the steadier playing of Valparaiso netted them the victory. Notre Dame, at their home courts, defeated the Tech netmen, 5 to 2, on May 12. Eddy and Streb won their singles matches for Ar- mour’s points. Three days later Tech was defeated by Loyola in a closely fought match, the final score favoring the northsiders, 4 to 3. Timmermans and Schirmer were the Ar- mour victors, winning both singles and doubles. May 18 saw the Armour team defeat Lake Forest College, 4 to 3, at the Armour courts. Schirmer and Timmermans won their doubles, and Streb and Paine won their singles. In two successive matches, Armour lost by close scores. Valparaiso won, 5 to 4, on May 20, and on May 23 Loyola won 4 to 3. The last game of the season was a 3 to 3 tic between Armour and Lake Forest, played May 27, at Lake Forest.

The season was begun with two suc- cessive victories. On January 14, Armour defeated Crane, 40 to 3 5, at the latter’s pool, and the next week Chicago Normal was met and swamped by a 54 to 12 score. In the latter meet, Armour took all first and second places. The first setback was received by the Tech tankmen when they lost a close meet with Crane, 37 to 38. A week later a 48 to 27 score was piled up against Morton at the University of Chicago pool, although two Tech men were absent. High point men were Weston and Carlstrom, with ten and nine points respectively. DePauw defeated Armour, 46 to 29, in the second defeat of the season. Illinois Wes- leyan was conquered by a 39 to 3 5 score, but DePauw again succeeded in beating Tech, this time by a 45 to 30 score. In the final meet of the season, the Armour splash artists again won a meet with Morton, the score being 42 to 33. Carlstrorn Leads Against Morton One Hundred Fifty-six Weston.

The senior-junior game was decided- ly in favor of the senior team who won handily, the score being 9-5. Last year’s champions, the present sophomores, outhit and outplayed the freshmen as their score of 9-0 indicates. The final game was a grudge match. The present seniors had been defeated by the present sophomores in the championship game last year. This year the game was well played as superb pitching and fielding was exhibited by both teams. However, the seniors finally won the school championship by the score of 3-1 thus avenging last year’s ignomious defeat and thereby evening the score. Presently basketball started in full swing. In this event the seniors defeated the juniors and the sophomores trounced the freshmen. The old rivals met in the final game. The sophomores more than avenged their defeat in baseball by thoroughly outplaying the seniors and the end of the game found the senior team at the low end of a 31-13 score. Rolling up a total of 3 5 points, the seniors won the annual interclass track meet, which was held February 13, at the new University of Chicago fieldhouse. The jun- iors followed with 22% points, while the freshmen and sophomores trailed with 13 and 8 points respectively. The Victorious Senior Baseball Team Onr HunJreJ Sixty Triangle Interfraternity Track Champions INTERFRATERNITY ATHLETICS The fraternity life at Armour is so closely linked because of the athletic activities the fraternities have in common. Fine sports- manship exists as the contestants in the vari- ous branches of athletic competition do their very best for the glory of their fraternity. The outstanding team in athletics was Phi Pi Phi by reason of their victories in baseball and basketball. Every fraternity on the campus tried their hardest to upset the Phi Pi Phi’s in basketball but they came through again adding one more championship to their string of basketball victories. Much credit is due the Beta Psi team because in the final game they pressed the victors, putting up an excellent scrap. Probably no finer sports- manship and greater effort can be found than that displayed on the basketball court by the various fraternities. The annual Interfraternity Track meet is the event of Junior Week. After the dust stirred up by the tracksters had settled, it was known that the Triangle group were the victors, having a total of 46 points. Close at Triangle’s heels was Beta Psi with 41 points. Third place went to Sigma Kappa Delta. Tennis and golf are the minor sports of the interfraternity competition. Delta Tau Delta, with the marvelous ability of both Streb and Cone, finished the tennis tourna- ment in first place.

Staib THE CYCLE, 1932 Some said, John, print it, others said, Not so; Some said. It might do good, otIters said, No. Many such problems as this confront one who plans and visualizes the making and editing of a year book. The portrayal of this college year has been a task we have loved. Could I but picture the work that is play, the joy of planning, the thrill of accomplish- ment, the ecstasy that may be had over a picture well taken, that is all yours in work of this nature. Possibly inspired by Byron’s words, ’Tis pleasant, sure, to sec one’s name in print; a book’s a book, although there’s nothing in’t,” we have endeavored to present every- one as often as possible. To further this end the number of cuts was nearly doubled and the literature reduced to a minimum. All group pictures were taken indoors so as to present the finest selection of group pictures attainable. Many factors have contributed to the pub- lishing of this volume and the Cycle staff wishes to thank Mr. 1£. V. Linden and Mr. Patterson for their wonderful professional and personal services they gave us. To Professor Hofmccster and the senior architects the staff wishes to express their ap- preciation for the splendid cooperation they gave in designing the clay tablets used on the division pages. We are indebted to David Chapman, former art director of the Cycle, for designing and modeling the border plates. We arc grateful for the splendid cooper- ation the Faculty Committee gave us and to the many assistant editors and contributors who gave so willingly of their time and effort that we might present the best book possible and come out on time. So our task is done. It awaits your criti- cism or approval; but Pray thee, take care, that tak’st my book in hand. To read it well; that is to understand. Owe Hundred Sixty-fix Glen W.

Viol THE ARMOUR ENGINEER The Armour Engineer for the past twenty- three years has been the official technical publication of the Institute. Slowly but as- suredly it has progressed from a small and comparatively unimportant organ to its pres- ent status which now finds it as one of the leading technical publications in the schools of the country. Only due to the untiring effort expended by men in the past has the Engineer been able to attain its present posi- tion among the publications at Armour as well as among similar magazines in other institutions. The history of the Engineer, as any history, has been marked with its problems of organi- zation, finances, control, and hundreds of less important worries, all of which upon being solved have tended toward a stronger and better publication. Articles in the Engineer have been, for the greater part, student articles, although such writing is not limited to students. Many arc published which are intended to be of general interest to all regardless of the pro- fession they are preparing themselves for. From time to time, articles arc featured by graduate engineers who arc specialists in their line of work and arc able to give a treatise on a definite subject which con- veys that something which a student ar- ticle cannot—knowledge from actual contact with, and experience in, the engineering field. Not only is the Engineer a student publi- cation but in recent years it has come to be the official organ of the alumni of the Insti- tute. One section of each issue is devoted entirely to current news of the Armour alumni, thus being of interest to the alumni and at the same time bringing them in closer touch with the school and its activities. The Armour Engineer is a member of the Engineering College Magazines Associated, a group of twenty-five engineering college publications organized for the furtherance of, and the standardization of, major engi- neering magazines.

Minnick Onf Hundred Sixty-nine THE ARMOUR TECH NEWS The work involved in the production of the Armour Tech News is one of the most interesting types of activity to be found at Armour. The task of publishing one issue each week of the college year presents con- ditions and problems that arc different from those encountered by any other activity in school and that must be met and solved individually. Such work cannot fail to be interesting. Four years ago a great deal of force was necessary to start the News, for the prob- lems of putting out a paper at all, much less a weekly one, were many. There was a gen- cral feeling that such a thing could not be done. Putting out those first few issues in the spring of 1928 must have been hard work but, also, it must have been pleasant for the men of that first staff to sec their adventure prove successful. From that time to this, there have been problems to be solved by the staff of the News. There have been questions of editorial policy, of distribution, and of finance. The solution of such problems is but one of the many phases in the work of the Armour Tech News. Because of the nature of its position as collector and distributor of information, the student newspaper of any school is at the center of campus life. At Armour all the school news comes to the offices of the Armour Tech News. There it is written in proper form and then given to the student body through the next issue of the News. That such work is enjoyable will be asserted by those who have tried it. There is a fas- cination to it that holds men as long as they are in school. Onr HunJrtJ Sf l fitly Bonvallcu, Barnett.

With such a background it is altogether fitting and proper that there should be a guiding hand furnished by the Institute for the protection of both. Literary sharpshooters so to speak. The benefit derived from these men, the stimulus, the encouragement, the sound reasoning and logic that they have been and are able to give to the many fine points of putting out a publication can only be appreciated by those who have the pleasure of working with them. The men working on the staffs, the school, the student body are truly grate- ful for the unceasing efforts made by the F'aculty Committee for the advance- ment of the Cycle, the Engineer and the Armour Tech News.

Newton Cannon Vice-President James S. McCall Treasurer Alexander Bogot Secretary Professor James C. Peebles Honorary Chairman During the past year, the Armour Branch of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers has been particularly successful in attaining the purposes of its foundation, namely, the offering of an opportunity for students in the department of mechanical engineering to make intimate contacts with men in the profession, and the promotion of a feeling of good fellowship and comrade- ship among the members of the society. The continuation of bi-monthly meetings did much to maintain the interest of the student body in the organization and its meetings, and the hearty cooperation of several mem- bers of the faculty is in no small part re- sponsible for the success attained by the society. The society has been fortunate in having •an abundance of material to choose from for subjects, and many men prominent in the field of mechanical engineering are at hand who arc willing to address the student body. The first meeting of the year had a large attendance, and forecast an unusually suc- cessful year. The speaker was Professor Peebles, the text of his talk being the hypo- thetical progress of an Armour Institute graduate. He traced the course of a man who starts in the drafting room and gradu- ally works his way up through the shop and sales divisions until he attains that degree of advancement which his ability warrants. Professor Peebles warned against becoming too technical to understand other phases of the field which arc equally important. This type of attitude is highly detrimental to suc- cessful engineering practice, because the engineer must recognize the value of non- technical elements of his life’s work when he encounters them and deal with them in an intelligent fashion.

Roetch, Davie . Libby, Peebles, Gebhardt, Nachman. Otto. McCall, Clear, Grundttrom, Meehan, Seiferth Insulation. He confined his discussion to the various forms of dwelling house insula- tion. The common form of frame or brick construction of walls and the cheap method of adding insulation which weakens the structural design of the walls was discussed. The three forms of insulation on the market, the board form, the blanket type, and fills, were described and reviewed by Professor Peebles in an interesting lecture. He indi- cated future methods of insulation which might be used, such as the all-metal or foil type. Aluminum foil has been extensively used for the transportation of volatile oils for years, but its development for domestic use has never been attempted as yet. The members of the society were fortunate in hearing a lecture delivered by Mr. Richard Boonstra on the subject of Engineering in Agriculture, at a meeting of the society held on November 20. Mr. Boonstra. the agricultural engineer of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, contrasted the old-time methods of the farm with the newest developments. The plow is an ex- cellent example of the progress made by the engineer in the design of farm implements. In order to establish a closer relationship between students in the department of me- chanical engineering, two smokers were held during the past year. The contacts between the students and the faculty were made more friendly through these semi-annual smokers. The climax of the year’s activities came with the joint banquet of the Armour branch and the professional chapter. This annual event provides an opportunity for the stu- dents to make the acquaintance of men estab- lished in their profession. To the seniors especially this banquet is one of the most important phases of the school year. One Hundred Seienly-fii e W. .. Jos AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS William L. Jost OFFICERS Chairman Thomas .McGill Vice-Chairman Raul H. Frye Secretary George L. Bon vallet Treasurer Professor F.rnest H. Freeman Counselor The Armour Branch of the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers this year has instituted a novel program in that the mov- ing picture film has been used to inform its members of the latest advancements in the field of electrical engineering in connection with many interesting and well-known speakers on subjects of interest to electrical engineers. Meetings have been held every other Fri- day and through the efforts of the Meetings” chairman, every meeting has been a pro- nounced success. On October 25, the first meeting of the year, Mr. C. E. I.udwigson, of the sales divi- sion of General Electric Company, spoke on Electron Tubes in Industry.” In his talk, Mr. Ludwigson revealed many unsuspected applications of these tubes in every field. On November 6, Mr. Sjoberg, training supervisor of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, spoke on the Telephoto System that is at present incorporated in the American Telegraph and Telephone System. This lecture was clearly illustrated with slides that explained the engineering problems that had been met and overcome and the many applications that the system has found in the commercial world with its rapidity of transmission of facsimiles and pictures of all descriptions. On January 22, Mr. Glenn, Assistant Dis- trict Engineer for the General Electric Com- pany, gave an address on Mercury Arc Rec- tifiers and Their Field of Usefulness,” which gave an insight into the operation of this modern rectifier and the rapid expansion in the commercial use of these machines. E. C. Chilberg, of the Chicago General Electric Company Engineering Department, was the speaker at a meeting held on Febru- ary 19. His topic, Building Network,” considered the care and protection required to insure constant electrical service in large buildings where the continuity of service is absolutely essential.

His topic, Underground Cables,” was thoroughly enjoyed by all those present. His address covered the types of under- ground cables now in use, and the advant- ages which they possess over the types form- erly used. An, excellent description of the use of oil filled cables was given. For the rest of the school year films loaned us by the General Electric Company on semi- technical and technical subjects such as the The Electric Ship,” which depicted a trip from New York to San Francisco and showed the workings of the electric drive on a sea- going vessel; The Operation of an Auto- matic Railway Substation,” which showed the operation and control of a substation through the actual load on the station, and the other was a three reel series giving an insight into the operation of Induction Regulators and the electric process of applying Vitreous Enameling. Nearly all of these films were interspersed with animated diagrams clearly showing the action and the operation of all the modern machinery involved. The annual fall smoker was held on De- cember 9 at the Phi Kappa Sigma house. This function afforded a real opportunity to for- get the cares of the classroom, relax, and really get acquainted with the other students of the department and even the professors seemed to enjoy themselves at the bridge tables, giving the students some real compe- tition in this game of brains. For entertain- ment, Andy Weston and his orchestra played. The evening was climaxed by the appearance of refreshments, enough to satisfy the most ravenous appetite among the embryo engi- neers, which ended a most enjoyable evening for all.

Nelson President Vice-President Secretary Secretary Treasurer Student Representative The Armour Branch of the Western Soci- ety of Engineers, founded in 1919 for the purpose of bringing the students of civil engineering into closer contact with men actually engaged in that profession, feels that this year has brought about even more clearly than ever before the realization of that pur- pose. An effort has been made to stimulate an active feeling of unity between the stu- dents and professional men. Only topics which were of primary im- portance and of assured interest were chosen for the bi-monthly meetings, and as a result the attendance has been unusually large. Men of prominence in the field of civil engineer- ing were invited to address the students on topics they specialized in. The cooperation of the professional branch has been invaluable in providing aid in arranging inspection trips and in getting speakers. The students are invited by the professional chapter to make use of its excellent engineering library. The rooms of the parent society arc also offered to the Armour chapter for its smokers. On October 9, the senior members steamed off on the year’s first inspection trip spon- sored by the Western Society of Engineers. The objective of the tour was a grain elevator located at 117th Street and Torrence Avenue, and a general survey of the Calumet Harbor project. Members of the society gathered at the Michigan Avenue Bridge where a boat was waiting to transport them to the Calu- met district. An hour was spent in inspecting the elevator. At an open meeting of the Western Soci- ety of Engineers, held on October 16, Mr. Clarence W. Farrier gave a very interesting speech on Engineering Aspects of the World’s Fair.’’ The speaker graduated from Armour in 1916, and is now president of the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and also Assistant Director of Works of the Century of Progress. Being thus closely acquainted with the innermost prepa- rations for the Fair, Mr. Farrier was able to One HuriJrtJ Sn tnly-tigbl Rotting, Meagher, Gabriel, Beemtierboer, Setterberg, Fox, Ethonen, Grott, Krawit , Beard, Mauer, Wiltrakit, Kantner Hromada, I.ad intki, Catcy, Hcckmiller, Loetehc, Donnellan, Hanrahan, Kaplan, Poedtke, Kolar, Wierzbowski, Zacher, Hornbcrgcr Jackson, Wetrerberg, Koch, Mueller, Alexander, Meyer, Goldstein, Rudolf, Chrittianten, Pfcilcr, Kampwirth, Bottorrf, Frickton, McWilliams Skoularinat, Rosenfeld, Rooney, Richter, Grafton, Heald, Ensz, Byanskas, Birtman, Grovanu, Nelson, Cameron give many interesting facts about the coming exposition. The society was fortunate in securing Major Wendell S. Merick as a speaker for its first regular meeting. Major Merick spoke on a topic of interest to all, Airports, a Division of Transportation. Many elements not recognized by the layman must be taken into consideration when erecting an airport. What these problems are, and how they arc solved, was described in detail by Major Merick. On Monday, November 30, an inspection trip was held in which some of the leading industries of Waukegan, Illinois, were visited. The program for the day was arranged by Professor Vagtborg and consisted of visits to the power plant of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, the North Shore Coke and Chemical Company, and the pumping and filtration plant located in that city. At the power plant many of the latest improvement? in plant layout were noticed. At noon, the party assembled in a private room of the Hotel Korcher for luncheon. Here City Engineer Bleck gave a timely ad- dress on what the engineering profession ex- pects of the college graduate. The manufac- ture of coke and its by-products were then witnessed by the party. The very modern and completely equipped Waukegan pump- ing station and filtration plant was the last to be visited. The semi-annual smokers relieved the monotony of all work and no play and came as a general relief to the hard-working Civils.” One Hundred Seventy-nine G. J. Stockmann AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS OFFICERS Gcrvasc J. Stockman Samuel E. Winegar Allen H. Hclmick Russell FI. Blom President Vice-President Secretary T rcasurer Beta Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has enjoyed a par- ticularly successful year in promoting the aims of the organization. We have striven not only to promote a feeling of fellowship among the students in the department, but also to establish and maintain a more intimate contact with the professional chapter and its members. The hearty support of the organi- zation has been of great assistance in accom- plishing this relationship. The first step in realizing this new rela- tionship was taken when the Chicago Chap- ter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers were guests of the Armour chapter at a banquet and meeting, held on the even- ing of November 13, at the Armour cafe- teria. Several prominent members were pres- ent and took part in the discussion, including E. F. Buchanan, department superintendent, Sherwin Williams Company; W. B. Brown, vice-president, Victor Chemical Company; G. T. Fink, director of research. National Aluminate Company; O. H. Wurster of Wurstcr and Sanger, Chemical Engineers; R. E. Wilson, vice-president, Standard Oil Company of Indiana; and Howard Adler, Chief Chemist, Victor Chemical Company. The discussion included topics of general in- terest to the Chemicals,” including what the industrial world expects of the chemical engineers, and comments of the engineers on the laboratories and laboratory methods. On December 18, the local chapter was fortunate in having with them Mr. R. B. Harper, vice-president of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, one of the chem- ical engineers in intimate contact with the planning and construction of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1933. Mr. Harper chose to talk on this immense undertaking, and this topic was of timely importance to all who were present.

Berger sent some of the outstanding men in chem- istry and chemical engineering as speakers at our monthly meetings. From the large num- ber of chemical industries which arc operated in this vicinity and which have offered their services, speakers have been chosen who rep- resent industries with the widest range of appeal. These meetings arc invaluable in aiding the young chemists to orient them- selves after graduation. Not all of our thoughts are directed at such serious problems as these. On the night of the annual departmental smoker the trials and tribulations of student life were relegated to the background, and a pleasant evening was spent amid smoke and cards. Members of the freshman class were invited to attend, and responded cn masse. A large turnout of the active group and the presence of several members of the faculty contributed to the success of the affair. Competition has been unusually keen dur- ing the past year for the Schmier-Chcmikcr Trophy, the official award of the organiza- tion for outstanding achievements in labora- tory technique. The trophy consists of the replica of a broken flask, suitably suspended by a safety pin from a prominent place in the Senior Laboratory. Below it is left a space where the names of those who arc given the official title of Schmier-Chcmikcr” arc placed. The ambition of the seniors to win the award made it necessary to restrict it to the extremest cases of sloppy technique. Even so, one man bid fair to create a new record when he won official recognition twice in two weeks at the outset of the year. It is suspected that the man in question was under the impression that winning the award three times in succession entitled him to per- manent possession of the trophy and the title of Grand Schmier-Chcmikcr.” However, renewed activity on the part of his class- mates prevented the success of his enterprise. One Hundred Eighty-one FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING SOCIETY II. A. Scanlan OFFICERS Emmett A. Scanlan, Jr. Walter M. Trauten, Jr. Jerome B. Dirkers Joseph B. Finnegan, Jr. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Fire Protection Engineering Society, a society formed for two basic purposes, has done much in the past year towards accom- plishing these ideals. First, it has given the members of the society a definite and invalu- able contact with men in the field; and sec- ond, the feeling of fellowship among students in the department has been aided and in- creased through the social functions of the society. The field of Fire Protection Engineering is comparatively new. It is indeed only in the last few years that the problem of fire pre- vention has received well-merited attention. The problem of reducing annual fire losses is not one that can be considered of minor importance, and the reduction of fire hazards requires careful study and attention. The meetings of the Fire Protection En- gineering Society arc held bi-monthly. This assures the members a large number of speak- ers and maintains interest in the society. Speakers are chosen who arc specialists in the various phases of fire prevention and arc en- gaged in the different branches of the insur- ance business. The members of the society were very for- tunate in being addressed by Mr. John A. Neale, Chief Engineer of the Chicago Board of Underwriters, on November 6. Mr. Neale, who is one of the best informed men in Chicago on fire protection engineering, spoke on the subject of Fire Protection in Builder’s Risks.” Buildings under construc- tion are fire hazards and present none of the advantages of the class of building for which they are rated. Some of the hazards which arc present arc found in the large piles of combustible material lying about, salaman- ders and rivet forges, acetylene welding torches, leaky gas lines, and temporary elec- tric wiring. The Chicago Board of Trade Building, with but thirteen fires while under construction, is considered to have been rela- tively well protected.

The importance of the engineering depart- ment at the National Board of Fire Under- writers was the theme of the talk given by General Frank S. Dixson, who is associated with the National Board, at the meeting of the Fire Protection Engineering Society held on November 20. The topic discussed by General Dixson was The Organization and Functions of the National Board,” in which he stressed the importance of fire insurance, giving a new and broader definition to the term. The National Board is a voluntary organization which has no authority over its members and no jurisdiction over rates and premiums. Its main purpose is educational. The annual smoker was the scene of a vivid Monte Carlo atmosphere. On this gala occasion the freshmen were permitted to mingle as equals with the knowing seniors and the faculty. Poker and craps were the order of the evening, and it was with ma- licious delight that the undergraduates tried to relieve Mr. J. V. Parker and Professors Finnegan and Holmes of their well-filled wallets, and why not? When the smoke had cleared away, the horrible examples” of the group (those who were most proficient in the aforementioned activities) were, for once, honored with handsome gifts for their even- ing’s work. When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the members went home with one more memorable evening marked for posterity and future Fire Protection Engineering smokers. One Hundred Ei bty-tbree ARMOUR ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY OFFICERS Wilfred W. Davies • F. David Chapman W. W. Da tics Massier Sous Massier The architectural students at Armour are apparently a peculiar lot of fellows. They are men of two campuses. Part of their time is spent in the classrooms and lecture halls in the weathered red brick buildings of Ar- mour Institute; it is there that they learn their trig” and algebra, their steel and con- crete. But the more happy hours of the architects arc spent over the drawing boards and water color boxes or modeling clays in the Art Institute of Chicago. It is there that needed inspiration is furnished by the ex- hibits in the galleries and rooms. The out- standing architectural masterpieces of Chi- cago are located within the sight of the Art Institute, a decided advantage to those who labor therein. It is there, also, that the aspir- ing architects, with the welcome aid of the excellent Burnham Library of Architecture, make buildings grow on the paper, and cul- tivate their tender ideas. The Burnham Library is a very remarkable library on architectural subjects. The books therein cover all ancient and modern ideas in archi- tecture. It is responsible in no small degree for the thoroughness with which the entire field of architectural design is covered by the students. The members of the Armour Architectural Society arc fortunate also in possessing another privilege enjoyed by no other group among departmental societies. Prints and replicas of the architectural masterpieces are available for the individual sessions of each member. Thus the student can study directly from the masters, a method of study inferior to none. The finest specimens of the world’s architecture is at his disposal. It is this working side by side; this inking of border lines on a senior plate by an am- bitious freshman or the deft strokes of a junior brush on a poor sophomore drawing that breeds the spirit of comradeship that originated the Armour Architectural Society One Hundred Eighty-four Tcrp.

It was founded to foster a spirit of cooperation and idealism, to create and maintain a greater interest in all phases of architecture and architectural engineering. This it strives constantly to accomplish. It extends its hand of fellowship to the young freshmen at a smoker in the fall, and later in the year joy- fully initiates them into its ranks. Speakers of prominence and lectures of excellence have featured its gatherings. An example ol the type of .addresses heard by the Archi- tects” was the illustrated lecture given by Mr. Charles E. Close, manager of the Chi- cago office of the National Lumber Manu- facturer’s Association, on the subject of Lumber,” which was given at the Art In- stitute on March 31. Mr. Close first gave a general explanation of the various phases of lumbering, and then illustrated them with a motion picture. On the evening of October 23, the social program was inaugurated with the first smoker. At this event a prominent architect of Chicago gave a helpful message on the business side of architecture. A clever mock judgment’ was presented by members of the society and an orchestra plus refreshments completed a pleasant evening. The climax of activity of the year came in the annual initiation festivities. These took place in the spring. After the fresh- men had duly rendered their assigned Sketch Problem,” the society gathered to pass judg- ment upon the work. With heated enthusi- asm and with the aid of prepared paddles, the freshmen were warmly criticised upon the merits and weak points of their prob- lems. After this the neophytes were care- fully initiated into the mystic wonders of the Armour Architectural Society. One HunJreJ Eighty-fue MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS Hornbcrgcr, Carlton, Clear, Walker, Bonvallet ARMOUR TECH MUSICAL CLUBS Professor Charles W. Leigh John E. Walker The first appearance of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs during the 193 1-32 season was at the Christmas Concert. Here the clubs were aided by the newly formed dramatics club, the Armour Players, in stag- ing a thoroughly enjoyable program. The concert, which was held on Thursday morn- ing, December 17th, in the Assembly Hall, included select numbers from the Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, and the Stresses and Strains. The play given by the Armour Play- ers was A Night at an Inn by Dun- sany. The concert was run with such smoothness of operation that it was termed profes- sional and a great success. With the Christ- mas concert over, the clubs turned Prof. C. W. Leigh with anticipation Faculty Advisor President toward their next major endeavor, the Home Concert. Preparations for this closing event of the season were made on every hand. To make the Home Concert a success, each club was thoroughly built up, weaknesses being ironed out by diligent practice in the weekly rehearsals. Concert numbers were selected with great care and plans were layed whereby the glee club and the orchestra might cooperate in some piece. George Rc ac, '29, was asked to help in directing the orchestra. Much publicity was effected in order to make the concert successful. The efforts of the Musical Clubs were rewarded by the success of the Home Con- cert. This concert even surpassed that of last year as its quality and procedure were exceptionally smooth. The selections render- ed by the clubs were both of a serious and humorous nature. So that Armour’s Musical Clubs might be brought closer together, a smoker was held. Such a social event for all members of the Clubs had not been held before. One Hundred Eighty-eight Hazel ton, McDonald. Lane. Robert� . Avery. Svoboda. Lan . Wiltraki� , Walker Brch, Feldman.

Carlton .............................................. President During the first semester of the school year 1931-32, the glee club enjoyed the largest enrollment it has had in all of its existence, sixty-two men being enrolled. This unprecedented number developed undoubt- edly from earnest efforts which were direct- ed towards getting new members. Dr. Daniel Prothcroe, internationally fa- mous as a choral director, presided at all of the glee club’s rehearsals throughout the year. Armour is particularly fortunate in having Dr. Prothcroe as the director of its glee club for his services are eagerly sought by others. He gave freely of his time in the extra re- hearsals which naturally arose when it was decided to have both the glee club and or- chestra appear in a number for the Annual Home Concert. At the Annual Christmas Concert, the glee club did wonderfully well, presenting a well balanced and perfected program. They sang Christmas carols with merriment or with rcvcrance, as the case demanded, so realistically as to make one remember those choristers of old who used to roam the streets on a Christmas Eve, gently breaking the still winter air with beautiful carols. Altogether the Glee Club had a successful season. They were successful because they enjoyed their singing, because they learned more about music, something that is sadly needed at a technical school, because friend- ships were developed that could not have occurred else- where, and be- cause they shared in the very spirit that spelled suc- cess. The Glee Club, on several oc- casions, sang out- side. These events were popular with the mem- bers as was the smoker. Dr. D. Prothcroe One HunJrfJ Eighty-nine ORCHESTRA E. E. Lantz Director 1st Semester George L. Bonvallct Director 2nd Semester The orchestra began the year with E. E. Lanz as student director for the first semes- ter and then elected G. E. Bonvallet as stu- dent director for the second. For a while, between the semesters, Mr. G. A. Rezac, stu- dent director of the orchestra while he was at school, conducted, appearing in that capacity at a number of rehearsals and at an assembly. Throughout the first part of the year, the orchestra experienced considerable difficulty in getting started. However, sufficient prog- ress had been made by the time of the Christmas concert to insure the maintenance of the high standards established in the past few years. It was not until the Annual Home Concert that they showed their true colors. At this time they played with all the fire and enthusiasm that has characterized Arm- our’s orchestras in the past. A higher and finer type of music was presented, more dif- ficult in technique than anything yet at- tempted by an Armour orchestra, but pro- viding greater opportunities for orchestral effect and interpretation, the latter being fully taken advantage of. To attain the perfection shown at the An- nual Home Concert, the orchestra had to get down and work at their rehearsals. Each member realized his job and carried it through to completion, the sections were re- arranged and built up, and each rehearsal was made as near to concert” conditions as possible. The results of this drive for better- ment culminated in success, as everyone knows. One Hundred Ninety STRESSES AND STRAINS James A. Clear................................................................ Director The Stresses and Strains really enjoy more public popularity than any of the other mu- sical clubs, merely by virtue of the fact that they play the so-called popular type of music. At the Christmas Concert, where the students comprised the audience, the ovation they received was so great as to necessitate an encore, and not until it was given did the men subside. Goofus” by Wayne King was the number that attracted the most attention at the concert. It was played as a novelty number. At the time of the revision of the Armour Tech Musical Club constitution, it was de- cided that the Stresses and Strains should be regularly included as one of the musical clubs. This decision was reached when it became apparent that the club had a deserv- ed popularity and jazz or not it was doing fine work and deserved recognition. As a result of this action, the ranks of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs were swelled to four, and included the Glee Club, Orchestra, Band and Stresses and Strains. J. A. Clear was student director for the Stresses” throughout the year and was in- strumental in bringing the club to the fine high level that it attained at the close of the season. We come to the end of the activities of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs for the year 1931-32. It has been a glorious and a color- ful year for them, during which much was accomplished for their betterment and for the Institute’s. It was the aim of all in the clubs to make this particular season the best ever” and everyone tried as hard as he could to shoot true. That they found their mark is now apparent and it only remains to express appreciation and thanks for their endeavors. One Hundred Niue y-one Walter H. Hornberger Director BAND Last year it was decided to discontinue the rehearsals of the band and cancel the organ- ization’s existence. This step was taken be- cause it was felt at the time that attendance was falling off and that if more attention was given to the orchestra it would be bet- ter for the clubs. In this way the burden of belonging to two organizations which were serving somewhat similar purposes, at the same time as some of the men were do- ing, would be relieved. This arrangement lasted for just a year, however, when the demand for a band grew so strong as to break it down. Obtaining the permission of Professor Leigh, faculty advisor for the Armour Tech Musical Clubs, W. H. Hornberger posted a notice at the beginning of the year calling for recruits in the reorganization of the band. The call was answered by a few and then began the slow process of organization, a process that might have subdued a weaker heart. It was carried on, though, and to success! At the Christmas Concert, the Mu- sical Clubs had a club ready to play that type of music most readily brought out by a band. Following the Christmas Concert re- hearsals were held in preparation for the An- nual Home Concert and efforts were made to get lower classmen interested in the band. The latter were needed to carry on the work for the next year. At the Home Concert the band did more than their share, giving the accompaniment, as nobody but the band can do it, to the Armour Fight Song. All-in-all the band, too, showed that spirit of success, the spirit that predominated all other emotions among the Armour Tech Musical Clubs.

President Vice-President Executive Secretary Recording Secretary Club Advisor The Armour Tech Campus Club, an or- ganization open to all the students at Armour, has finished its fifth successful year since its organization in 1927. The club is primarily a social organization, and offers the student body a place where a gen- eral get-together may be held at various hours during the day. The spirit of friend- ship and comradeship that prevails among the members has resulted in a most pleasant year. To further the feelings of friendship and fellowship among the students at Armour, the Campus Club, with the cooperation of the social fraternities, initiated the social ac- tivities of the year of the school with the Freshman Handshake, at which time the en- tering students were made to feel at home by the upper classmen, amid an atmosphere of apple cider and doughnuts. Several smokers were given during the year in the club rooms in Chapin Hall under the auspices of the club. These were without exception voted a great success. In addition to the smokers, the social activities of the club included the meeting and banquet of the Campus Club Alumni Association and the annual banquet of the active group. Visitors arc always welcome at the Campus Club, and someone is always ready to discuss politics or religion, or perhaps engage in a game of bridge, chess, or checkers. The club has added to its activities by sponsoring an annual bridge and chess tournament. It is also planning to enter athletics in a serious way. One Hundred Ninety-four P«ck, Lomasney. BaUivik.

President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Range Officer With all the men of last year back on the team, the Armour Tech Rifle Club started what promised to be a highly successful year by winning the outdoor match for the Hum- boldt Park Gun Club Trophy. This cup is now in possession of the Tech sharpshooters, and it will become a permanent fixture if it is won three times in succession. Each year two indoor meets and one outdoor meet de- termine the ownership for that year. The first postal matches of the year proved that the men were getting into their stride without wasting any time. The scores im- proved with each match, and all of the matches were won by good margins, includ- ing the first one with the New York Stock Exchange, the only team which defeated the Armour Tech Rifle Club consistently the year before. The year brought forth also many notable improvements in the home range of the club. The most notable of these was the installa- tion of clips to hold the targets, thus elimi- nating many painstaking searches for thumb- tacks. The Armour Tech Rifle Club has made a memorable record since its organization in 1927. The acquisition of their own range, located in Chapin Hall, and the installation of an excellent lighting system has enabled members of the club to compete with some of the finest teams in the country, mainly via postal matches.

Richter Faculty Member President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Historian Sccrctary-T rcasurer With the passing of the college year, the Truss Club has ended its eighth year as an organization on the Armour campus. The Truss Club received its start through the efforts of a group of senior students in the department of civil engineering, who desired a closer contact with men of the same in- terests and of good personal character. The outcome of their efforts was the organization of the Truss Club, and the club still has for its basic purpose the same ideas which were responsible for its organization. At the outset of the college year, early in October, the club initiated an enterprising social program with its first smoker of the year. The members found time, over the bridge tables, to regale each other with the new and great accomplishments in the field of engineering they had been responsible for during the summer. The smoker aroused a great deal of enthusiasm, and another was held soon afterward. Subsequent to the smokers, several radio dances made the so- cial activities of the year an outstanding suc- cess. The past year has been one of the greatest in the history of the Truss Club. A new spirit was founded when the club moved into its new quarters at 3423 S. Michigan Ave., and future expansion seems assured. One Hundred Ninel y-six Schinkc. Minnick.

Richter The Armour Radio Association is an or- ganization of men interested in the art of radio communication. Drawing its member- ship from a group with diversified concerns, this interest may take one of a number of forms. Some of the members are govern- ment-licensed radio operators, qualified to conduct private stations for world-wide com- munication. Others are intrigued by the science in a general way, perhaps to an extent as limited as that of the amateur astronomer who is absorbed by the wonder of the un- known though he understands little of it. To such a varied membership, the Associa- tion affords an opportunity for mutual help and benefit through the medium of the In- stitute radio station W9YW. Meetings are held as forums for non-tcchnical discussions, and are often addressed by men of wide practical experience from the commercial field. Due to the repair work undertaken about the Institute in the Fall, the radio operating room was not available for use until the second semester of school. With this check removed, Association activities commenced in earnest. The entire station was rebuilt, both transmitter and receiver units being re- constructed to meet modern requirements and demands. The necessary experimenta- tion and actual construction proved to be of great interest and benefit. The result was a re-establishment of the radio station. A number of meetings were held at which prominent radio men spoke on topics of gen- eral and timely interest. Student talks were given by various members of the organization as well. In this way, the Armour Radio Associa- tion has proved to be of definite value to all with an active interest in that great and com- ing field, radio communication. One Hundred Nine y-seten DRAMATIC CLUB The passing of the last year saw the birth of a new organization of this type, a Dra- matic Society. The purpose of this group is to create among the students a greater ap- preciation of the spoken stage, and to give those among them who so desire an oppor- tunity to enact short plays from time to time. With the announcement that a Dramatic Club was to be organized, late in October, the student body showed their interest in the undertaking by having representative members of each department offer their serv- ices in the work they specialized in. A group of architects volunteered to design all the scenery necessary for the contemplated plays. while the mechanicals and the electricals took care of the properties” and stage light- ing. As a result of the enthusiastic reception ac- corded the organization of the club, it was decided to present a short drama at the an- nual Christmas concert. A one act mystery play, A Night at the Inn”, by Lord Dun- sany, was chosen, and under the direction of Professor Walter Hendricks, the play was given on December 17. The instant approval with which it was greeted heartened the dramatists” and it seems assured that this first year is only the beginning of a long and famous existence at Armour Institute. ARMOUR TECH PHILATELIC SOCIETY A survey taken during the month of De- cember, 1931, showed that a number of Armour students were interested in philately or the art and science of stamp collecting. Feeling that this interest deserved recogni- tion in the form of some kind of club or so- ciety, the Armour Tech Philatelic Society was founded and organized. Its organizer, E. W. Carlton, ’32, found a greater interest in this form of research and discovery than at first supposed, with the result that the club has grown and prosper- ed, fully intending to continue their good work next year. Some of the things that were accomplished this year include the establishment of a philatelic library in the main library of the Institute, the establish- ment of an exchange system whereby mem- bers arc able to trade, buy, and sell stamps effectively, and the acquisition of a number of good speakers who not only gave the members sound information on philatelic matters but who also told of the historic significance of some of the stamps. Throughout the year, the aim of this so- ciety was to bring out to its members the best philately had to offer. The members learned more about history; they became acquainted with printing methods, and they acquired new stamps for their collections. Above all, however, they made new friends and acquaintances, and contributed to a worthwhile endeavor.

Its primary purpose is to confer honor upon those engineering students who have maintained a high standard of scholarship, and have also displayed a high degree of initiative, a spirit of leadership, and a strong char- acter during their years at college. It has been the aim of Tau Beta Pi to stress the cultural side of a student’s life, an aspect that is too often forgotten by an engineering student. Beta Chapter of Illinois was chartered May 22, 1906. It was the fourteenth chapter of a roll that now includes sixty-one chapters spread all over the United States in the engineering colleges. There are nine Alumni Chapters. The roll numbers approxi- mately 18,000. Students are elected to Tau Beta Pi from the upper one-eighth of the Junior class in the spring; and in the fall, seniors in the upper quarter are eligible, together with three juniors from the upper one-eighth of their class. Honorary memberships have been conferred on prominent engineers and graduates.

The executive members of the Fulcrum and the Integral formed a society which soon afterward became known as Sphinx. The society was formed with the purpose in mind of fostering and promoting the publication work at Armour and to serve as an honor society for services rendered to the Institute through the publications. It has followed out this purpose by serving as an advisory board to the student publications. Through this close association the history of Sphinx and of the Armour student publications have become synonymous. Membership has been granted to 209 men at Armour Institute. Senior and junior students who hold executive positions on the staff of any recognized publication at Armour and who have done work of high character and have shown exceptional ability during their first two years arc considered for membership.

Realizing the benefit to be derived from such an organization and the necessity for binding together the outstanding members of each class, these students made the necessary steps for its organization. In 1909 a few students of Electrical Engineering at Armour Institute petitioned Eta Kappa Nu. On May 24, 1909, Delta chapter was chartered. These students realized fully the benefits to be derived from closer association with graduate students and with the students of other engineering colleges interested in their line of work. The society now includes 22 active chapters and nine alumni chapters. The major requirement for candidacy to Eta Kappa Nu is scholarship. The standard of scholarship is defined in its broadest sense. It is taken to mean ability to lead and ability to use knowledge with common sense.

An architectural fraternity was organized at Armour in 1900. It was known as Alpha Delta Tau. This organization continued until 1915. when it was admitted, after petitioning, as Edfou Temple of Scarab Fraternity. There are now thirteen temples in the nation-wide organization. Scarab secures through association the advantages of a refined culture; it stimulates interest in architecture and the allied arts and promotes friendly competition among the students and schools of architecture, and creates a lasting spirit of fellowship and cooperation within the fraternity. Election to membership is based on ability, scholarship and character. It has always kept its membership comparatively small.

The total membership is about four thousand. Through the efforts of two members of the faculty, Professor C. A. Tibbals and Mr. C. F. Smith, Omicron chapter of Phi Lambda Upsilon was chartered in 1920. Election to membership takes place in the beginning of each semester. Members of the junior and senior classes and the highest sophomore student in chemical engineering arc eligible. The basis of election is scholarship. This is determined by averaging all grades, giving chemical grades twice the value of the others. The vote on scholarship must be unanimous. The personality of the student is considered only so far as it pertains to habits, neatness and honesty.

Rossing Wilbur H. Rudolf Edward J. Wiltrakis Founded at the University of Illinois in 1922, Chi Epsilon, honorary civil engineering fraternity, granted a charter to the Armour chapter, March 9, 1923. It was founded to provide an incentive for greater achievement in the civil engineering profession, and to distinguish the undergraduates who have shown a high scholastic ability. Election to membership is based on the four requisites of a successful engineer; scholarship, character, practicality, and sociability. A candidate must have an average grade in scholarship in the upper one-third and must be a student in regular standing in the Civil Engineering Department in the junior or senior class. The Transit” is the official publication of the fraternity and is published twice annually. It contains widely varied subjects of interest to civil engineering students and also news of the various chapters.

Finnegan and other members of the faculty, the initial steps for founding an honorary fire-protect ion engineering fraternity were taken. The initial chapter was composed of seven men. Its purpose was to foster high scholarship and incite original investigation in all phases of its branch of engineering. The primary requisite for membership is high scholarship. However, to qualify for membership the candidate must show evidence of superior abilities through his activities and must possess a strong character. A news letter, the Deflector,” is published annually by the organization. In it is contained news of its alumni and of the active chapter. Regular meetings arc held throughout the year. Two initiation smokers arc held, one in the fall and the other in the spring of the year.

Waindle Pi Tau Sigma, national honorary mechanical engineering fraternity, was established March 16, 1915, at the University of Illinois. It was founded by students in the department of mechanical engineering who, having felt the need of closer association to foster the spirit of liberal culture in engineering students, and having maintained a high scholarship, took the necessary steps for the organization of such a society. Its purposes are to emphasize the high ideals of its profession, to stimulate student interest in student activities and to promote the welfare of its members. Delta, the fifth member of a roll call that now numbers nine, was installed at Armour, December 22, 1924. Students are elected each year from the upper half of the senior class and the upper third of the junior class. The upper third of the junior class is eligible in the spring. Though high scholarship is essential, other characteristics of the candidate such as personality, character, leadership, and college activity arc taken into account.

Richter William W. Lange James A. Clear In 1927, Pi Nu Epsilon was organized as a musical honorary fraternity. It followed many months of consideration of the problems of the musical clubs and the need for such an organization. The charter members were a sincere group of men who realized the need of a stimulus for the musical organizations at Armour. The aims of the fraternity have been to honor the men who have devoted their time and energies for four years to the musical clubs at Armour, to stimulate interest in the musical clubs and a broader interest in music and musical affairs at Armour. Twice each year juniors and seniors who have been prominent in musical affairs arc considered for membership. Before initiation each pledge must prepare a paper requiring research in the musical world. As the organization is a musical society no scholarship standard is set but each candidate must pass a rigid examination covering his musical knowledge before being pledged.

Stockmann Sam E. Winegar On December 13, 1930, the members of the local fraternity known as Flask and Beaker were initiated into Alpha Chi Sigma as the forty-seventh collegiate chapter. The fraternity conflicts in no way with Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chemical. The purpose of Alpha Chi Sigma is to bring chemical students and professional chemists into closer contact and to strive for the advancement of chemistry both as a science and as a profession. In addition to the forty-seven collegiate chapters there arc seventeen professional chapters situated in the principal cities of the county. A feature of the fraternity is a placement bureau maintained by these professional chapters to aid graduates in securing work. Candidates arc elected twice a year from the senior, junior and sophomore classes in Chemical Engineering. Election is based on scholarship, ability and personality.

It now ranks as the fourth oldest of the fraternities on the Armour Campus. It is the oldest local fraternity in existence at Armour Institute. In 1912, ten men who were not satisfied with fraternity conditions at Armour peti- tioned the Executive officers of the Institute that they might organize a fraternity that would promote high scholarship and school activities with less emphasis on social functions. Permission was readily granted and the fraternity was founded. With these ideals in mind Sigma Kappa Delta men have carried on through these many years with an unbounded degree of success. The House publishes a monthly news information bulletin called the Triangle” which is distributed to all active and alumni members of the fraternity.

After a short while the group took definite steps towards becoming a recognized fraternity on the Armour campus. On August 27, 1919, the Rho Delta Rho Fraternity was chartered. Soon afterward a formal petition was drawn up and presented to the Institute. Their petition was accepted and in February, 1920, Rho Delta Rho was established on the Armour campus as a local fraternity. The initial membership of this group was only ten in number but because of the ideals set by these ten charter members and the sincerity of the men following in their steps the fraternity has thrived and increased in both size and importance on the campus. The fraternity, in spite of its comparative age with others, has done unusually well. It now boasts an active membership of twelve men and a large alumni group.

The Umcn was officially recognized by the Institute in April, 1922. Later it was reorgan- ized as a fraternity and chartered in 1924. In 1926, in compliance with a suggestion from the Institute, the name was changed from Union to the Greek Letter term. Kappa Delta Tau. Under the new name, sym- bolical of the fraternity’s ideals, they have rapidly advanced and they now hold a meritorious position among the social organizations on the campus. In 1931 the fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois and in order to avoid duplication of the name it was changed to Kappa Delta Epsilon.

Jungcls Edmund Field Now five years old, the Armour Inter- fraternity Council, as it functions at present, controls the relationship between the ten social fraternities at Armour. It is the suc- cessor to the old Interfraternity Rushing Committee. Since its organization the Interfraternity Council has endeavored to bring about a closer relationship between its member or- ganizations and between these organizations and the Institute. Among its duties arc the regulation of interfraternity sports, sing, scholarship, and rushing, pledging, and initi- ation rules. The council proper is made up of one mem- ber from each recognized social fraternity on the campus. This gives every fraternity an opportunity to voice its opinion on any point of common interest through their rep- resentative in the Interfraternity Council.

' - To the Students and Alumni of Armour Institute of Technology The Institute wishes to extend its thanks to students and alumni who are giving their support to the Armour Development Plan. By making it possible for the Board of Trustees and the Administration to go forward immediately with the plans, they have become active participants in development of the Institute. As this work is carried on, step by step, students and alumni who continue to participate, no longer by merely giving their support, but by maintaining close contact with the school, and by identifying their own interests with those of the school—these will have played a most significant part in the application to engineering education of the whole new principle of service which is embraced in the Development Plan. Armour Institute of Technology CHICAGO The College offers four-year courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical. Chemical, and Fire Protec- tion Engineering, and in Architecture.
