Our Alumni I -, the student liddy, ftel justly proud of those, who ha e. gone out from these very walls to take their jjlace in the wcjrld and light the hattles of life. It is the purpose of this department to show, in a small way, with what success our Alumni haxe y -i fought those liattles and how well they have represented their Alma Mater in practicall}- e ery phase of modern actix ' ity. It must be imder- stood, however, that there are man ' others, in addition to those named here, who have and are doing work of the greatest importance. It is a matter of selecting- representatives from an almost innumerable list of names. Of all those, who e -er attended this institution, the name of (leneral Tasker H. Eiliss iuidoul)tedly stands out most prominently at the present time. Gen. Bliss is at the head of the General Staff of the United States . rm - and recently represented our nation at an Allied ' ar Council, held in France. It is noteworthy that Gen. Bliss is the only of cer who was ever retained as head of the staff after reaching the age of retirement. ' e are ably represented in the held of diplomacy by Dr. David Javne Hill, ex-Ambassador to Germany. Dr. Hill is also an author of considerable importance, having but recently ]mt out a book entitled The Rebuilding of Europe. In athletics, Bucknell claims such well known stars as Christy Matthew- son, Dooin. McC(irmick, Xorthrop and ' ckoff. The political profession has Krnest L. Tustin, ex-Senator and. at present, president of the Philadelphia Board of Recreation and Chairman of the Pana- ma-Pacific International Commission. The engineering department is still young at Bucknell. yet we claim some rather illustrious men in this world. Richards ranks, perhaps, the highest of our graduate engineers, holding the position of Division Engineer in the W ' est- inghouse. ' e can claim as a classical graduate no less a personage than Jesse O. Shipman. Division Engineer, First Division of the Dual System of the Xew York Cit - Rapid Transit S -stem, who controls a staff of one hundred and eighty engineers, inspectors and clerks. The system, when complete, will more than treble the former facilities, increasing the annual carr -ing capacitv 21
