OF ENGINEERS picture was an inspection trip in itself, giving many un- usual photographs of operations performed in the man- ufacture. Two inspection trips were held which afforded the utmost in benefit and pleasure to all the men who at- tended. The one brought us an extended tour of Chi- cago’s water supply system, including a trip through the new 16 ft. tunnel at Chicago Ave., a boat trip to the cribs, and a visit to the North Side pumping stations. In addition, all the bridges on the river from the lake to the West Side incinerator plant were inspected, as well as the plant itself. The second covered an inspec- tion of the West and North Side sewage disposal plants of the Sanitary District. Both of these trips were bene- ficial in that they offered a means of seeing the actual application of some of the theories which we discuss daily in the classroom. The semi-annual smoker was held on December 14 at the Triangle Fraternity House. All the requisites of an enjoyable evening were on hand, wherein we might en- joy an acquaintance with our fellow classmates in a spirit unattainable in the class-room. The Chi Epsilon pledges furnished the entertainment with an hilarious satire befitting the occasion and enjoyed by all. Bernhard II.

Burnet Student Representative WESTERN SOCIETY The Armour Branch of the Western Society of Engi- neers was founded in October, 1919, for the purpose of advancing the science of engineering in the best interests of the profession. The means employed to reach this end are the bringing before the young men of the So- ciety such men as have credited the profession by their work, and the fostering of direct contact with latest developments through inspection trips. The first meeting of the current year was held on October 7, at which time we had the pleasure of hear- ing Mr. T. L. Condron of Post and Condron, Consulting Engineers. Mr. Condron’s talk was of especial interest, describing, among other experiences, those secured in designing the steel structure to support the bells of the mighty carillon installed within the tower of the Uni- versity of Chicago Chapel. On November 18, Mr. Brumley, president of the Western Society of Engineers, visited us and presented an interesting discourse on his experiences from his days in college to his present status. During December, Mr. R. Owens of the Calumet Steel Co. brought us an illustrated lecture on the manu- facture of rail steel and reinforcing bars.

Galvani T reasurcr AMERICAN INSTITUTE During one of the most successful years of its exist- ence, Beta Chapter of the American Institute of Chemi- cal Engineers has been very fortunate in being able to present some of the outstanding men in the field of Chemical Engineering to the students of the organiza- tion. The bi-weekly meetings of the Society have all received the whole-hearted support of the upper classes. The organization meeting was held on October 7, for the purpose of formulating a plan for the year’s diversi- fied activities. A speaker’s committee was immediately formed, consisting of the most prominent men in the group, to interview potential speakers. The men were chosen with careful and critical judgment; chosen so they might enlarge the knowledge of the active student body along varying lines. On December 2, the Chapter had the privilege of hearing Dr. Clarence G. Muchlberger, county toxicolo- gist and consulting chemist for the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratories at Northwestern University, speak on the subject Industrial Poisons.” This was a very timely subject for the Seniors who were encoun- tering various poisons in their work. Dr. Muchlberger graduated from the Armour Institute of Technology in Schmidt, Miller, Schavilge. Renttrom, Lauchiskis, McFarland, Williams, T.
