llobert A. Millikan first came to the California Institute of Technology some twenty-five years ago, when it had only some three or four permanent buildings and a handful of students and instructors. Since that time he has labored tirelessly to build the school to its present position of eminence. By the light of his own inter- national reputation he attracted to this campus such men as Lorentz, Bohr, and Einstein. It was he, more than any other one man, who wrought into actuality the ideal originally expressed by the Board of Trustees of the Institute: A school consisting of a small group of serious pupils, gathered about men who are masters in their fields and who are passing on their mastery to younger men, chiefly by the power of example. h If he had never measured the charge on the electron, won the Nobel Prize, made his contributions to the study of cosmic rays, or published a single one of his books, Dr. Millikan would have earned his claim to lasting fame through his work in making this Institute what it is today. He is fortunate among men, for he has the privilege of seeing during his own lifetime his memorial. This Institute is a living monument to Robert A. Millikan-it is the duty and privilege of all who come here to keep it worthy of him. After Dr. Millikan became the lnstitute's chief executive, the first class to graduate was that of 1922. Its President was Frederic A. Maurer, a chemical engineer from Hollywood. One of the original members of the lnstitute's chapter of Tau Beta Pi, he was also extremely active in campus political activities. Employed after graduation as a chemical engineer and metallurgist, he worked many years for General Electric. When war came, Maurer was married and the father of two children, but he had maintained the reserve officer status which he won through Tech's ROTC, and was among the first to answer the call to active duty. Frederic A. Maurer passed away on April 24, 1946, less than a year after his honorable discharge, leaving a record which typifies that which Tech tries to produce: Professional dis- tinction, plus distinction of character. President Maurer, 1922 Lieutenant Maurer, 1945 Lee A. Du Bridge was chosen by the Board of Trustees to be President of the California Institute of Technology only after a long and careful search for the best possible man. Their standards were high: The new President had to be young ad vigorous, an administrator of proven executive ability, able to represent the Institute well to the public, and a productive scientist of distinction. Dr. DuBridge was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of Rocheste r, which during the war had loaned him to the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. Of his work as Director of the M.I.T. Radiation Laboratory, the largest research and development laboratory ever assembled, President Compton of M.l.T. has said, It was Lee DuBridge who held the staff together, drew from them their best efforts, and gave the directing touch when necessary. lt was a magnificent achievement. That Dr. DuBridge had the proper attitude as well as the proper background and aptitude was equally clear, for when offered the Presidency of another school he reached the conclusion, That I wanted to be a scientist, and that as a scientist the only insti- tutions, if any, I could ever consider being president of were M.I.T. and C.l.T. Now he has the job, of the first few months we can say, So far, so good, of the future, we may well be optimistic. The Class of 1947 will be the first to graduate under Dr. DuBridge. Its President, John Mason, is a chemical engineer who during the war served the Army as a meteorologist. What further honor he and the men of his class are to reflect on the Institute is, as in the case of the new administration, for time to tell.
