With the kind permission of Dr. Avinoff, Director of the Carnegie Museum, we are reprinting his beautiful tribute to the memory of Professor Kdmond Esquerre. “A beautiful soul passed away. Kdmond Esquerre is not any more with us —mourned bv a host of friends to whom he has endeared himself. Hut it is not sorrow alone he leaves with them. His parting and lasting gift is an intensively living image of his spirit: kindly, mellow, lofty and serene. “Horn in France, Edmond Esquerre spent all his life, since early youth, in the new world to which he brought the finest tribute of the Latin race—the refinement of a gentleman of the old school, a sparkling brilliancy, wit and vivacity—in a word, all that which no English term is adequately able to translate, and that which in French is designated as ‘esprit . “For over 2(� years Professor of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, he was beloved by his students who recognized in him, as did all his friends, the commanding trait of his personality—compassion. Above all his mental achievements, his inexhaustible analytical ingenuity, his versatile intellectuality of a polished, cultivated mind, was his considerate sympathetic understanding; outshining all was his compassion simple, sterling and supreme. “His whole life seems to be epitomized in one word, ‘misericordia’. A truly enlightened Christian soul, he was prepared to answer the call of his Maker. Ami now his friends can say of him—‘Multa pars vitabit .” To the memory of Alfred ('. Wingold, a most sincere friend and advisor, whose accidental and untimely death occurred last August, the students in the Department of Architecture dedicate this page. Mr. Wingold graduated from Carnegie in 11)27. winning the Stewardson Traveling Scholarship of a year’s study and travel in Europe. 1’pon his return to America he spent some time in the architectural office of Paul Cret in Philadelphia. During the school year of 1929-JJO he served as assistant Professor of Architecture at. the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, coining back to Carnegie as an instructor in the fall of 1930. During the three years of his association with the department, his active interest in the progress of each student and his untiring efforts in developing the student’s ability, created for him a most sincere devotion and respect in the hearts of all who worked under him. Miss Tillie H. Moore had served ns Matron of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College from 1908 until her illness, which took her from active service in September, 1932, and in that capacity had known intimately most of the students in attendance during those years. M iss Moore’s office in the basement of the Margaret Morrison building was a favorite retreat. The Carnegie Handbook for many years contained a rather formal paragraph or two—“In case of illness call for medical aid at Miss Moore’s Office ’— and Miss Moore’s name was a familiar one on the bulletin hoards when lost articles were advertised. Probably not one student in a hundred know Miss Moore as a “matron” but simply as “Miss Moore,” or, in earlier years of the school, as “Aunt Til.” Miss Moore’s death on January 16th after a long illness brought to an end a long and cherished connection with Carnegie and particularly with the Margaret Morrison College. The untimely death of Jacob I). I'tccli look a great favorite from among the students of Carnegie Tech. He was affect innately known as • 1 01), ' and it has Ijcen said that he knew more students by their first names and their nicknames than any other instructor. Professor Charles ('. Leeds, who was very closely associated with “Pop since he came to Carnegie in 1015, says of his passing. “If is questionable if many of the faculty have taken the school motto as seriously as did our departed friend, for he certainly put his heart into bis work, and this, combined with his love for hoys, enabled him to exert a remarkable influence in helping ‘his hoys’ to develop the best that was in them. lie is greatly missed by his many friends, who will long cherish his memory.” VIEWS OF THE CAMPUS An’ u'ist ye o’ this ha me sae fair? THE ADMINISTRATION An’ what o’ those wha, wi’ their counsels sweet An saye advice, did mony crises meet? NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR President Baker It is my earnest hope that this volume will he a reminder to the members of the graduating class for years to come of many cherished friendships and many happy experiences of college life, and that the years passed at Carnegie may have given the preparation for a happy and successful life.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Dean Green To those who have worked earnestly through the year to make this edition of the Thistle a success, I extend my appreciation. This record of the year’s activities and of the students with whom you have been associated will in the years to come bring a flood of memories one of the happy experiences which result from college life well spent and one which should tend to keep vour lives in tune with your Alina Mater. Dean Tarbell When a senior leaves college after Commencement he carries two things with him of particular interest that he will safe-guard with more than ordinary care —the diploma and the “Thistle.” If he did his work here to the best of his ability the former will always be a pleasant reminder of a responsibility that was squarely met; if lie played his part well in the campus life the pages of the latter will arouse happy memories in the years to come. I hope every member of the Class of 19.'J4 will have this experience in full measure.

This legend contains a grain of truth, but those of us who know student life can testify that it would be difficult to find examples of more heroic struggle than are found in the life of many of our students. Time, however, is a selective medium which absorbs the unpleasant and transmits for the mind’s eve the pleasures of the past. May the pages of this volume serve as a pleasant memoranda of Carnegie Campus days. Margaret Morrison Carnegie College Charles Watkins, A.B., M.S., Ph.I).

Carnegie, 1920 Mony things done And mony more will Thou'11 say CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY My heart is in the work.” A.NDREW CARNEGIE’S famous maxim has been, since the founding of Carnegie Institute of Technology, the “Yitai Lumpada” of our leaders. The recognition that the Carnegie Institute of Technology has gained can be attributed solely to the background, extensive research, and achievements of its notable faculty. We point with pride to a faculty that has maintained standards of scholarship requirements so high as to have caused our being ranked among the outstanding technical schools of the world. Throughout its history the school has chosen to have a faculty of the highest quality, in preference to one of more materialistic asset. As an example of the care taken in choosing our faculty, we cite an incident of recent date. In Germany, when educational barbarism was at its peak, President Baker was not reluctant to go into the turmoil and rescue treasures from the ruins. l)r. Baker is primarily responsible for the addition of three world-famed scientists to the Carnegie staff —I)r. Bcrl, noted German technical scientist; Dr. Otfo Stern, one of the world’s greatest physicists, and his assistant, Dr. Isaac Estermann. Dr. Berl, wartime ammunition research director for Austria-Hungary, and one-time chemical director of the world’s largest rayon plant, is now doing research in the field of cellulose and in the laboratory creation of coal. The work of Dr. Stern has gained the recognition and confidence of the Buhl Foundation to the extent that it has granted twenty-five thousand dollars toward the continuation of his experiments. In doing this, it has adjudged him one of the six foremost experimental physicists in the world. His serious young assistant, Dr. Isaac Estermann, is indispensable in operating the intricate mechanism, necessary for their research, called the “molecular lieam” machine, which is used in the study of the wave properties of molecular rays and the magnetic moment of the proton. These three men will undoubtedly Ik- the mainstay in building one of the most famous scientific research institutions in the world. Among others active in the field of research is found Professor J. II. James, chemical engineering consultant, who has done comprehensive research on the manufacture of new chemical products from petroleum. His work is invaluable in expanding the field of engineering because it creates for others new incentives to engage in research. Professor Thomas R. Alexander is recognized for his study of inorganic reactions. Professor II. (’. Griffin has been busy in his laboratories, constantly conducting experiments on aliphatic ethers. He has not been alone in his experimental endeavors, for Professor Seitz is at work at the present time on solid solutions and electrical conductivity. Professor Seitz is also recognized for his textbooks, which are used in many of the foremost engineering schools in the country. On the work of thermodynamics of solutions Professor J. ('. Warner is an accepted authority. Mr. G. II. St cm pel’s contributions to the electrometrical determination of phenols, and of reactions of phenol hydrogen with glucose, have proved invaluable. Professor 'I'rinks has made his contribution to mechanical engineering through his textbooks—Governors, Industrial Furnaces. and Foil Foss Design. Professor Robert B. I.eighou has made valuable contributions to industrial science. At the request of the Department of Shop Instruction at Harrisburg, Professor I.eighou prepared the Syllabus of Prevo-cational Chemistry for the State of Pennsylvania. He is also the author of a collection of lectures on the chemistry of printing inks. Professor Gustafson supervised for a number of years the printing of the only technical magazine in English for instructors of printing, Printing Education. From 1927 until 1934 he was the associate editor of that magazine. He is responsible for the index of articles on printing which appeared in the Graphic Arts Index for 1932. This index was printed in the Department of Printing at Carnegie and gained such acclaim as an asset to the printing industry that it appeared in ninety-two periodicals. Professor Gustafson was also the author of American Printing Index Hulletins, published from 1931 to 1934. Dr. M. M. Frocht, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has conducted many researches in photoelasticity, in stress analysis and stress concentrations, and on the application of interference fringe to stress analysis. His expert advice is sought on the largest mechanical construction projects. Professor Emerson M. Pugh has published four papers relating the “Hall Effect” in materials to their ferro-magnctic properties, and two papers on the flow of heat waves through insulating walls. His NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR last paper concerned the cataphorctic velocities of colloids in rotating electric fields. lie lias given various lectures on adjustment of measurements and on electrical conduction in metals using the new I'Yrmi-Dirac statistics. Professor llarrv S. Mower, Sr., head of the Department of Physics, has worked as consulting physicist for manufacturing companies, railroads, and public utility corporations in several cities. Me has appeared in an advisory capacity in many United States courts in connection with important litigations. In his specialized work of applied optics, he is to he commended particularly for his designing of lenses, many of which have lieen used in search lights for the United States Army and Navy, and lenses for the Navy submarines. Me designed lighthouse lenses, both fixed and flashing, for the I'. S. Lighthouse Hoard, special harbor lights for the Ambrose Channel in New York harbor, and lenses for the Norwegian Merchant Marine. 'Pile range lenses which he designed for the Panama Canal Commission are the largest in the world. Professor Jonas B. Nathanson’s major investigations have been in the field of optics of metals. Helms made extensive studies of their optical properties, such as their ability to refract, reflect, and absorb light incident upon them. The experiments were first conducted upon the alkali metals, requiring the preparation of mirrors within a vacuum, and later extended to the study of the interference of light in metallic films. Professor Nathanson has made a study also of the relation between the dispersion of light within metals and their electron characteristics. The results of these investigations have been recognized by their publication in the Astrophysical Journal, The Physical Review, and the Journal of the Optical Society of A meric a. Mr. Glen U. Cleeton, head of the Department of Industrial Education, has developed and published a self-marking intelligence examination for high schools and colleges, and has applied this system in the prediction of scholastic success, lie has compiled a subject matter achievement examination for high school students, and courses of study for public school industrial arts subjects. Mr. Clceton has also set up and operated a vocational adjustment service for unemployed adults, and has devised vocational and personality tests to determine fitness of individuals for various types of occupations. In the College of Fine Arts, we are particularly proud of our achievements. The Arts College was designed by one of our outstanding architects, Henry Mornbostel. lie is the president of the Beaux Arts Society, the president of the Arts Commission of Pittsburgh, and the architect of the Wcstinghousc Memorial. We have another representative on the Art Commission of Pittsburgh in Robert Schmertz, who in 1932 was elected president of the Architectural Club. In 1D2H he was one of the winners of the water color competition sponsored by the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. Mr. Raymond A. Fisher, also of the Department of Architecture, is at present making an extensive study of the modern housing in Germany, Holland and Belgium, a problem greatly discussed and faced by the world at large. Mis work is carried on through the assistance of the Civil Works Administration, and the final solutions of Mr. Fisher will undoubtedly be gratifying. Another outstanding member of this department is Mr. Raymond Simboli. In the awards made by the Associated Artists, Mr. Simboli can boast of third honor taken in 1932, first honor in the most meritorious exhibit in 11)2(5, and in 11)27 first prize for his complete collection. In 1930 he was the winner of the Carnegie Institute Prize, and in 1931 received first honorable mention in the same competition. Three years later, his water color was awarded the Camilla Robb Russell Memorial Prize. Mr. Samuel Rosenberg has likewise taken active-interest in the work of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. Mis recognition dates back as far as 1917, when he achieved second honor in the Artists competition, and in 1920, when he received first honor. The next year lie was the winner in the competition of portrait painting. In 1928, he received first prize in the Art Society of Pittsburgh Exhibit. Then, competing with the best architects in the city. In- was awarded the Bakewell Prize the year following. This is but a brief survey of the contributions made by the faculty in the Department of Architecture, hut it is unusually praiseworthy. No less remarkable arc the contributions of the faculty in the Department of Painting and Decorating. Professor Edmund M. Ashe, Director, spends a great ileal of his time in illustrating books and magazines. Me is also widely known for his numerous paintings in many American and International Exhibitions. During the World War Mr. Ashe was in complete charge of posters and drawings for the United Stales Treasury Department. Professor Alexander .1. Kostcllow is responsible for the murals in Saint James’ Cathedral in Kansas City, and those in Saint Joseph’s Chapel in Topeka. Me was winner of the portrait prize at the Midwestern Art Exhibit in Kansas City in 1928. In 1933 he was the winner of the Ida Smith Memorial Prize for figure composition offered bv the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. Me received honorable mention in the CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Carnegie International Exhibition in 1933. At present. Insides preparing paintings for coming exhibits. Mr. Kostellow is active as an industrial design consultant. Professor W. A. Readio received first honors among the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, and was represented by his collection at the exhibit known as “One Hundred Friends of Pittsburgh Art.” lie lias competed in numerous annual exhibitions of the Graphic Arts. During the past year he has worked steadily on the Public Works of Art Project. Another representative of this department is Professor MacGilvary, who is represented in the National Gallery in Washington. He received the silver medal in the Panama Pacific International Exposition, and in recent competition won first prize, offered by the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. Since 1918. when he was active in the Camouflage Section of the 1’nited States Navy. Russel T. Hyde has pursued his art work steadily. He executed the murals at the Waltham High School, and in 1927 was awarded third prize in an exhibition sponsored by the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. In 1934 he was awarded first prize by the same Association. Mr. Roy Hilton is responsible for the decorations in Saint Paul’s Church, Minnesota, and also the decorations in the Saint Anne Church in Scranton. He is the winner of the group prize offered by the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh in 1931. He has illustrated Hill Towns of France, and numerous other books and periodicals. Professor Esther Topp Edmonds took second prize in the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh competition in 1923. and first prize in 1924. In 1926 she received first prize offered by the Alumnae Pittsburgh School of Design, in 1929. the A. IV. Smith Jr. Prize, and in 1930 the Art Society Prize for portrait artists. Professor Everett Warner was in charge of the Design Section of the United States Navv during the World War. He has been represented by paintings in the permanent collections in the museums in Chicago, Washington. St. Louis, Toledo and Charleston. Frederic C. Clayter served in the Camouflage Section of the Navy in the year 1918. He designed and executed a tabernacle door in bronze and semiprecious stones for Saint Mary’s Cathedral in Salt Lake City. He also executed a monstrance in precious metal, jewels, and enamels for the same cathedral. A chased and jeweled chalice was made for Stephen Tlmw, Jr. In collaboration with his sister, Mr. Clayter executed a book with metal and jewel enrichments for the May family. He designed and executed a war memorial for Grove City, Pennsylvania. In the School of Drama, our contributions to the most glamorous field of the art world are complimentary to every student who has the opportunity of studying with its instructors. Professor Chester M. Wallace is widely known for his active interest in the theatre, both as actor and director. For many years Mr. Wallace was the director and owner of his own stock company that toured from coast to coast. In the theatre today there arc numerous men and women who attribute their success to their instructions and earlier development under Mr. Wallace. Mr. Elmer W. Hickman's productions also are a credit to his directing skill. For years he has received recognition for his acting and directing, and although a comparative newcomer to the department, his influence has already increased our contributions to the drama. The productions of plays by 'Toiler, Gorki, Checkov, and Galsworthy in the Little Theatre during the past year have given ample evidence of Mr. Hickman’s superior ability. Our visiting director in this department, Mr. R. Iden Pavnc, is recognized internationally as a Shakespearian authority. In 1906 he produced a series of Shakespeare's plays for Ian MaeLaren. In the same vear lie was general manager of the National 'Theatre in Dublin, later directing Miss Horniman's Corn-pan v at the Gaiety 'Theatre in Manchester, England, for four years. From 1911 to 1914 lie worked in repertoires in Sheffield, Leeds, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. In 1916 he founded similar companies in Chicago and Philadelphia. He has directed many New York productions, including plays by Galsworthy. Sheridan. Arnold Bennett, and Zoe Akins. Dr. L. R. Merrill has done work that has attracted great attention to the Little Theatre for its unusual excellence. 11 is experience in the theatre as an actor for a number of years has qualified him to demand a high standard of diction of all students in the Department of Drama. Lately he compiled an edition of the life and works of Nicholas Grimald. At present be is preparing exercises and methods for the proper teaching of Diction. We have, in this editorial tried to present in summarv form some definite view of our contributions to the World of Science and Art so that our pride in the materialization of the theories, hopes and ideals of our beloved founder, Andrew Carnegie, nuiv be justified in the minds of our reade rs. THE FOUR CLASSES Timid, douty, bold, and proud— Conglomerate, a hearty croud. IV ha see the world frae mountain tops Ganna hide the empty chatter Of mere ordinary mortals— Seniors are the folks who matter! CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Class of '34 HP............... AIM-, dignified Seniors of 1934 arc surclv not the same people who entered Carnegie Tech in 1930 as green Freshmen. In mind and in appearance, those Freshmen have been changed by four years of college life. No one could have survived eight attacks of final examinations without a few scars in the form of new creases in the brain to show as souvenirs of the struggle. The very exposure to the intellectual atmosphere that pervades the campus was bound to effect even the most lazy among us. The world cannot see these scars; it can judge they arc there by results. What it can sec is the change in outward appearances. The girls’ hair has gone from long to short, and their dresses from short to long. The hoys have changed their best Sunday suits in which they arrived for corduroy trousers, suede jackets and, of course, the lettered sweaters which stretch over proud chests. The Freshmen’s bare heads have sought shelter under hats since the day when the dink was the only legal form of headdress. . poise and dignity (to say nothing of a “line”) have been acquired by the gay young things who romped around the campus one September afternoon four vears ago to the tune of “Dear Old Tech” and the resounding whacks of Sophomore paddles. The Sophomores laid aside their paddles, but until Christ mas when Plebe Regulations came to an end. they never missed an arm bare of an armband or a head without its dink, as witness the quecrly dressed girls riding kiddvears or fishing in the barrel by Skilm, and the boys galloping around on brooms or scrubbing the sidewalks with toothbrushes. Ah me, those were the happy days! Then we settled down to the more serious problems of life, such as planning our Freshman All-Carnegie Dance; choosing the right fraternity or sorority—Art School sorority, that is, for in that day such luxuries were forbidden the Maggie Murphs; capturing the hearts and pins of fraternity men, or the favor of the best-dressed girl; and, on the side, a little studying. The end of that first year drew to a close bringing a revived Arts Hall and the annual Campus Week. While the Art students lost themselves in plans for their great event, the engineers and secretaries wished (for the first and last time) that they might he called “Dramat,” carrv a tune, or wield a paint brush, and thus be eligible to attend this exclusive party. The industrious members of the Freshman class received their just reward when they were singled out for honoraries during Campus Week. The transformation from meek Freshman to bold Sophomore was complete. The fall of 1931 found us swinging the paddles and acting like lords of all we surveyed. The Senior Fence was no longer sacred, for along its length were preening Sophomores. From our lofty perch, we looked down our noses at the lowly Freshman. In our estimation no one could compare with us, and nothing was too good for us. Someone had to initiate NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR I ho new Thistle Mall, and what could lx: more desirable than to have our class perform that pleasant task? We did it doubly well. The ('wens held the first Tea Dance within its walls, and, for the first time, the Soph Hop was hold on the campus and inaugurated evening dances in our new dance hall. The Soph Hop was not the only activity confined to the campus that year. The .Men's Hushing Rules were revised, and off-campus rushing became illegal. Our second year seems to have been the year of now innovations: The first, and so far the last, Hlankct Hop was held; boxing matches were attended by formally attired spectators; and the Intcrfralornity Sing and Swing gave every one an opportunity to hoar the songs the boys love to sing. We wore so busy planning new things as the year went on that we forgot to be bold Sophomores and became instead sophisticated Juniors. Of the four years, our Junior year seemed to be the least eventful. The depression held us all in its grip, and toward spring the grip became so tight that it almost squeezed the life out of two of our dances. The Men’s Junior From was a pleasant memory, but the Women’s Junior From, which the girls had been anticipating since their Freshman days, and the Interfraternity Formal were just in the oiling when suddenly the banks closed. Trusting to luck and the President, we went on with our plans, and both dances were grand affairs. As always. Campus Week was the high point of the year. Since the show was too splendid a spectacle to bo confined in the gym, it was staged in a downtown theater. Now came the day when we could proudly call ourselves Seniors. Some of our class returned to school in 19.TJ happy in the thought that they would soon be out in the world; others were sorry that their college days would soon come to an end. There was still a year to be enjoyed, however. For the first time since we entered Carnegie, our football team scored a victory over a powerful rival, and we had an opportunity to celebrate. 'Flic Notre Dame victory was the signal for a holiday with a parade and a general good time. The football team was not the only group to win a victory. After four years, a sorority in Margaret Morrison finally won recognition and opened the way for other sororities. As the year went on, we were all pointing for the day on which we should be together for the last time. If was with a feeling of regret that we formed the line to march to Commencement, for we knew that our school days were over and some friends would be lost to us forever. This line was not as long as the Freshman parade. We were sorry that every one could not stay with us until the end. For the armband and dink of our happy Freshman days, we exchanged the mortar-board and diploma that symbolized the more serious and dignified days ahead.

Treasurer: Kocku I). Middlekacke, Stuilent Council Representative. The College of Engineering is the largest of the divisions which comprise the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Senior Class in Engineering is therefore inherently an important division of the student body, leading the College of Engineering in prestige, and leading the student body with strength in numbers. Despite the obvious difficulty which is met with in organizing a body of serious-minded engineers, the senior class in Engineering has been united with the result that its importance on the campus in all activities is recognized. The Engineering Senate is the governing body of the students in the College of Engineering. Representatives are elected from the four classes in the day school of Engineering College in the spring, at the regular school elections. It is the purpose of this body to act as the controlling unit of student affairs in relation to the faculty as well as in carrying out school rules and preserving Carnegie traditions. The president and the treasurer of the senate arc both voting members of Student Council. OFFICERS: A. Fendkrsox, I’resident; A. Be ve vino, Vice-President: (’. Haves, Treasurer; J. Sayi.es.

The past year has been one full of events for the Seniors in the College of Fine Arts, but it has not l� een more eventful than the three preceding years; for the class of 193-1 has always distinguished itself in all campus activities. Their names are enrolled on most athletic teams, social committees, publication staffs and political offices; and there is a satisfaction in being able to say that few other classes have done ns well in all these things as this one. The Student Senate of the College of Fine Arts is composed of four officers who are elected by the Senior classmen, and two representatives of each class who are presidents and vice presidents of the respective classes. The Senate presides at all Plebe and dishonor trials, upholds the rules and traditions of the college, and directly supervises all student functions, such as the Arts and Post Arts Halls.

Its members are chosen at the close of the junior year on the basis of positions held in student activities for the following year. On call day, during the Spring Carnival, membership keys are given to men prominent in student government, publications, athletics, and class activities. Ability, integrity, application, and loyalty to school, as well as activity and personality, form the qualifi-cations for membership. The purpose of the Dragons is first to provide recognition and honor for the outstanding senior men and also to aid, support, and promote all worthy activities and events on the campus. The organization sponsors a scries of informal football and basketball dances during the fall and winter months. A major project is the Greek Sing and Swing. In this activity the Dragons organize a singing competition between the various fraternity and dormitory groups. A formal dance follows this. The friendly competition and social value of this traditional event has been highly praised. The present group of Dragons is the fifteenth to bear the name. The first Dragons, organized at Car- negie in 1918, gave the organization its constitution, its principles, and its name, with its secret significance. Every succeeding group has been active in school affairs. The achievement record of the Fifteenth Dragons is extensive. Formal initiation of the present members took place in June, 1988, during the course of a sparkling evening of formal dinner dancing at one of Pittsburgh’s country clubs. The first official act of the group was to instigate a Freshman-Sophomore flag rush and rally in the Carnegie Howl the evening before the first football game. The success of this will, no doubt, mean that a similar affair will lx- held each year. The Dragons supported the fall Welfare drive on the campus. The Greek Sing and Swing was one of the striking events on the campus in the year 1988-84. Singers and listeners, dancers and chaperones, all attested to its popularity. The popular demand for another social function that would add interest to the spring season led to the introduction by the Dragons of the Carnegie Spring Formal, held the week-end before campus week, and planned to give the whole school an opportunity to take part in the creation of a new campus I radition. The greatest importance of the Dragons as an organization, however, lies in the individual achievements of its members. The thirteen men making up the personnel of the Fifteenth Dragons were responsible for the success of many school projects, and their individual and group achievements make them the ranking organization on the Carnegie campus.

Mortar Hoard was originated in Syracuse, New York, in 11)18, by representatives of senior honor-aries of Cornell, Ohio State, I'nivcrsitv of Michigan, and Swarthmore College. Local honorary societies for senior women had existed for several years without knowledge of one another. However, when representatives of these local societies met at one time, they realized the unity of purpose of their respective organizations, and they thereupon decided to create a national society, to be called “Mortar Hoard.” Thus the national society came into being. An activities program is planned each year with the idea in mind of service to the school. One of the most important activities is the work during Freshman Week—helping the freshmen get acquainted with their classmates and their school. Mortar Hoard also sponsors a tutoring bureau before final examinations at the end of the first semester. This bureau takes care of those freshmen women who need help in their studies. Mortar Hoard also holds several very interesting teas and parties during the year for various groups. Just before Christmas vacation there is a very simple but usually hilarious party for seniors, at which small and (usually) approximate gifts are exchanged. In the spring of the year, as near to Mother’s Day as is possible, a tea for senior women and their mothers is held. This is a very interesting party because it brings together the senior class and the girls’ mothers for one last time before graduation. Mortar Hoard sponsors at least one Tea Dance dur- ing the year, but the most important dance is the Coed From, held in the spring. It is usually the “bargain dance of the year—the Coeds buy the tickets. Then, as one last gesture before handing the chapter over to a new group, as it were, the Mortar Hoards take part in the Call Day Services by planting a tree. This, with the exception of initiating the new members, is Mortar Hoard’s last bit of active service on the campus. Choosing new members is not the simple job it would seem to be. Long before call day, investigations into the grades, character, qualities of leadership, and service of the prospective candidates must Ik made. The new group must not be too small nor too large (twelve is as large as a group can exist here); the girls chosen must be able to work together; they must not lie “cliquey”; and they must have the ideals of the organization at heart. To choose a group of girls with these qualities from any class and not to omit worthy ones, or to fail to omit unworthy ones, is a rather delicate task. However, after the initiates have been decided upon, they are called at Call Day, at which time they are given gold and silver pledge ribbons. They are initiated into the organization the following week-end, usually at Sky-High or some other appropriate place. During the week preceding graduation, the outgoing group entertains the incoming group with a party or dance. Before the graduation exercises both groups meet at breakfast, after which the new group attends the exercises in a body. i Sic bold an' bonnic bids an lassies Prideful tn' their coming power, IV e ha' never met in Scotland— Peed, t’would make a Soph'more cower.

The junior class of the College of Engineering, due to its large representation as compared with the classes of the other Colleges, has held a position of importance in the affairs of the school since its origin three vears ago. The class had a hit of difficulty in its first experiences on campus in the way of advertising its prowess—for it never got its numerals on the wall —but in its own quiet way the members of the class have assumed their responsibilities in soldierly fashion. The class has been instrumental in furthering the cause of worthy activities, and its efforts have been unusually productive in a progressive wav. Participation in school activities has been vigorously maintained by the Junior Class of the College of Industries. Students of this class have been perhaps more active than those of other years because the enrollment of the junior class has had more than its share of effects from the depression. The class has had the difficult problem of reduced budgets with which to work on such activities at the Junior Prom and the publication of the year book, which are shared by the junior students of all Colleges. However, the will to work and the cooperation received from members of the class have made the year’s activities successful despite the difficulties encountered.

'l'he major activity of this year’s Junior Class of Margaret Morrison was the Women’s Junior Prom, 'l’he social calendar for 19133-84 listed a combined Men’s and Women’s Junior Prom. This arrangement was contrary to the wishes of the women, so the class petitioned and argued the cause until granted permission to hold a separate function. This was granted by Student Council with the provision that the women show the capacity to finance a closed Women’s Junior Prom. The dance, held at the Schenley Hotel on February 9, showed a profit of seventy-six dollars, being “one of the few.” Jrxioit Class Officers Fine Arts CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICERS: Richard A.

The organization has been active on the Carnegie campus as the junior class honorary society since the year of its foundation. Members to Delta Skull arc selected once each year on the basis of activities and character, leadership. and scholarship. These men arc selected from the sophomore class towards the end of each year, called at the Call Day exorcises, and initiated at the end of the school year, at which time they liecome the active chapter for the following year. 'Flic major activity of the Delta Skull society is to present the Men’s Junior Prom. This year the Prom was one of the most successful dances of the year, despite the deficit the dance incurred as a result of several handicaps under which the committee had to work. The setting for the Prom was the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Schenley, and the music was furnished bv Henry Hiagini and his orchestra. The accomplished director of the rhythm boasts of having one of the smoothest dance orchestras in the country. The success of the Prom was by no small means due to the able chairman, George Good ridge. In conjunction with the Prom the Delta Skulls held their formal banquet in the Patio Salon of the Hotel Schenley. Before the members of the organization entered the Prom after the banquet, their guests for the evening were made honorary members of Delta Skull. The girls were presented with a plaque to certify that they had been duly initiated into the honorary society. Earlier in the year the junior class honorary held a ten dance in conjunction with the Thistle, at which the added attractions of a free floor show and raffle were offered. The raffle was for a subscription to the 08Jf Thistle. 'Pile dance was quite well attended, and the entertainment, though not extremely of a professional nature, was amusing. The music, played by an orchestra from a well known Pittsburgh night club, was surprisingly enjoyable. Besides sponsoring dances, the Delta Skull organization conducts the school assemblies, which take place on alternate Tuesdays at the Carnegie Music Hall. This year the attendance at the assemblies has been very good, a quality which determined the real success of these affairs. Credit for the success of the assemblies may Ik given to Clarence Hays, who planned the very interesting assembly programs. Each year, on Exhibition Night, the Delta Skull organization conducts the visitors to the Institute through the buildings. The society also joins actively in any other events which are held to benefit the school. The Delta Skull holds the betterment of the class and school foremost among its purposes, and endeavors to add substantially to its activities from year to year.

This was followed up by a period of rigidly enforced Freshman Regulations. The weekly Plebe trials, conducted in a most auspicious manner, tended to keep the Plebes on their toes in an effort to obey the rules set down in their “Bible.” The Sophomore class of the College of Industries is represented by four elective officers: a president, vice-president, secretary and class treasurer. Upon the re-quest of the executive committee when occasion arises it is the purpose of these officers to act as a medium between the administration, student governing bodies, and the class. The president of the class represents the Sophomore class of the College of Industries at the meetings of Student Council. OFFICERS: Clifton I . Rm-na iK, President; Roiikkt .!.

Scimitar, the men's sophomore class honorary society, is an outgrowth of the old Druid Society, national sophomore class honorary. The Druids hud been active on the Campus for some years.; however, along about 1930 and 1931, interest and power of the members was noticeably on the decline. I'ndoubt-edly, the reason for this decline was the fact that the excessive national dues of the organization prevented many of the most deserving men from answering the call to membership. In the spring of 1932, the Druids issued a call to ten of the most prominent men in the freshmen class to become the active chapter the following year. There was no initiation that year, however, and practically all during the school term of 1932-33 there was theoretically no men’s sophomore class honorary on the Carnegie campus. The group of uninitiated men who had been called to the Druid Society, handicapped as they were, clung together and attempted to carry on the duties for which they were chosen. It was during that year that the same group of uninitiated Druids conceived the idea of founding a local honorary to take the place of the national Druid Society at Carnegie. By spring, a constitution had been drawn up and approved by Student Council and final arrangements were made for the inauguration of the new Scimitar Society on the Carnegie campus with the ten uninitiated Druids as the charter members. That year fifteen freshmen were called to comprise the active chapter the following year although only fourteen men were initiated at the first Scimitar initiation which was held on May 28, 1933. The Scimitar Society was organized for the purpose of enforcing freshman regulations, assisting in the orientation of freshmen, and promoting and sponsor ing the annual Sophomore IIop. The 1933-34 Scimitars had a very successful year. Freshmen regulations were enforced with a greater degree of efficiency than they had been for several years previous, and the “snow ball” Sophomore Hop was indeed a great success. Perhaps the high spot of the year, however, was the Scimitars’ revival of the traditional Sophomore-Freshman flagpole rush as the main feature of a football pep rally. Needless to say, the valiant Sophomores ran true to form by proving their superiority over the freshmen in keeping their numerals intact. Members of the Scimitar are chosen from among the most prominent members of the freshman class to become the active body during the following year. Pledges are selected on the basis of leadership, character, and prominence in campus activities and arc notified at the annual (’all Day ceremonies.

The National Sophomore Honorary Fraternity for Women, Cwens, was founded at the University of Pittsburgh in 1921, under the guidance of Thrysa W. Amos, Dean of Women. It remained a local fraternity until 1920, when petitioning groups from the University of Miami at Oxford, Ohio, and the University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri, joined to form the National. The organization was accordingly chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1920. Fight chapters comprise the present roll: Alpha, at the University of Pittsburgh; Beta, at the University of Miami; Gamma, the University of Missouri; Delta, at Penn State; Hpsilon. at Allegheny College; Zeta. at Muskingham; Kta, at Carnegie Institute of Technology, and Theta at the University of Kentucky. Cwens was introduced on the Carnegie campus in 1929. Previously, Alceas, a Sophomore Honorary for Women, was recognized by Student Council on November 20, 1928. and its constitution accepted. The charter members were chosen on a basis of high scholarship and leadership in activities. Huth Buck-waiter was President; Helen Mylrea, Vice-President; Faith Hanna, Secretary-Treasurer. In 1927 a group of Sophomore women had organized the club temporarily and then helped to draw up the constitution of the permanent organization. Its purpose was to provide an incentive for freshmen women to attain a degree of scholarship, to help them In-come adjusted to campus life and to introduce them to various activities on campus. On May 2, 1929, the local organization was installed as the Kta Chapter of Cwens, by members of the Alpha Chapter. As is customary throughout the past year Cwens has curried on the work established in previous years. At the end of school last year, Cwens ordered material and made arm bands for Freshmen Women in both Arts school and Margaret Morrison. During Freshmen Week in the fall they sold the arm bands in Hcgistration line and assisted in acclimating the Freshmen on campus. Cwens helped V. M. C. A. with their dinner for Freshman women and served as aides for the Freshman Reception given by the Deans of Men and Women. Cwens sponsors the Twin Sister Movement on campus by which transfer students are given Twin Sisters from sophomore class to help them to become acquainted and to assist them with their work. The Sophomore Women's Honorary has charge of Fresh man Activities and holds assemblies in the respective schools to present campus activities to the Freshman Women. Cwens at some time during the year also helps with charity by giving money to some worthy girl on campus. Socially, Cwens sponsor tea dances and aid the Sophomore Men’s Honorary in promoting the Sophomore Hop. Cwens at each Call Day calls not more than twenty girls whom they have chosen from the Freshman Class for next year’s Cwens.

Conlrurv to the general impressions concerning the Fine Arts school, there is none of the wild Bohemian-ism which makes for such entertaining, hut certainly speculative conversation. Rather, indeed, the Fine Arts students arc representative of the industry of higher emotional expression—an expression finding itself in hard work and devotion. The word “time” has no meaning in this college, except in that there never is enough of it. The Fine Arts College is especially complete in its training, ns it presents problems that the students will Ik confronted with from time to time in their particular fields. The Margaret Morrison Freshmen have spent much of their first year becoming acclimated to life at Carnegie. However, in addition to individual participation in activities on the campus, the class, as a group, recalls several “red letter days.” On November fourteenth, Color Day, each freshman received symbolic slips of green and yellow ribbon from members of the Mortar Board. At the same assembly. Miss Mary Hall, class adviser, was the recipient of a floral token of the class’s appreciation. At a luncheon on March thirteenth the girls had the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with their own classmates.

The Freshmen responded readily to the call of activities, athletic and non-athletic, as was demonstrated by the successful season which both the l'lebc football and basketball teams enjoyed. The Freshmen also gave a good account of themselves in swimming, track, boxing and wrestling. Shortly after the beginning of Freshmen Regulations class officers were elected who gave Carnegie one of its best All-Carnegie Dances.

Student Government functions through the Student Council, which is the supreme governing body of the students. It obtained its present powers in 1923. when the Student Council and the Hoard of Student Activities were merged. Together with the control of all non-athletic functions on the campus, the Student Council makes appropriations to the various organizations and approves their operating budgets for the year. Each organization, by the acceptance of financial aid from the Council, assumes direct responsibility for the proper use of all money allotted to it to carry out its program. The Council is composed of twenty voting representatives, five from each of the four colleges, with the President voting in case of a tie, and seven nonvoting members. The term of office of each member is one year, except in the case of the four junior representatives, who hold over as senior representatives during the following year. The voting membership is made up of the Presidents of the four College Senates, the four senior class Presidents, two senior representatives from the College of Engineering and two from the College of Industries, one senior representative from the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College and one from the College of Fine Arts, the four Senate Treasurers, and the Secretary of Student Council, a girl from the senior class of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College. The officers of the Council are a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer, all of whom are members of the senior class and elected by the outgoing Council. The work of the Student Council is carried on by means of various committees appointed by the President. These committees are known as: Social Events Budget Committee; Publications Committee; Elections and Eligibility Committee; Social Committee: Plebe Regulations Committee; Advisory Committee: Activities Keys Committee; Foreign Policy Committee, and Executive Committee. The duties of these respective committees are in accordance with their titles. 'Phc Student Council represents and reflects student opinion and is the connecting link between the student body and the administration.

The Young Men’s Christian Association at Carnegie Institute of Technology is a student and faculty service center, designed to meet the social, cultural, and religious needs of individuals and student groups regardless of creed. The Association pursues these aims in every possible, helpful, and practical way, attempting to surround the students with such in Huenccs as shall help them to live clean lives and lead them into active church relationship according to their several beliefs. To round out the social side of the program the Y. M. C. A. maintains a club room for study and recreational purposes. Entertainments arc held at intervals throughout the year. Thanksgiving and ('hristmns dinners arc arranged and invitations to private homes are provided for students remaining in the city during holiday periods. A great part of the work is devoted to helping the new student. Contact is made with him Ijcforc he arrives on the campus and every possible assistance is given that he may Ik not only happy in his new surroundings but that he may become a loyal Carnegie student. During Freshman Week the “Y sponsors two events especially helpful in introducing him to his class mates and to college life. These two events are the corn roast and field day, and the Freshman Supper. The religious program of the “Y” is carried on largely through a close cooperation with churches near the campus. Bv furnishing guides, the “Y” introduces the entering student to the church of his choice on the first Sunday of the college year. The Chapel services which are held in the theater of the College of Fine Arts are supported by the Young Men’s Christian Association.

O’Toole The Men’s Dormitory Council is charged with maintaining favorable living conditions in the halls. The councilors help the hall officers in their duties, act as the court of last appeal in matters of discipline, act as a link between the men and the Administration, and attempt to develop recreational facilities for the residents. The council is responsible directly to the Dean of Men. The first major act of the council was to reestablish the Dorm Food Shop on the campus. This shop, which had been closed last June by the Administration, was an invaluable aid to the men who cooked their meals in the dormitory kitchens. After much petitioning and argument permission was finally granted for its continuance. Its convenience and inexpensiveness have undoubtedly helped many of the men to stay in school this year. Mr. DeWitt has worked this year on the job of supervising the kitchens. His work has resulted in several worthwhile improvements in the method of conducting this important help to the residents. Because of the efforts of the council and the support of the men, the annual rioting on the eve of the Pitt game, which has tended to cause so much adverse criticism and notoriety, has been practically eliminated in the past two years. Following last year’s precedent, the IMebe Ducking was again carried out in Panther Hollow lake. This is the first opportunity many of the freshmen have of meeting the upper classmen. We gave them a warm reception spiritually, although physically we were somewhat handicapped. The lake and the late September wind may have cooled the boys too much. The plebes were, of course, required to appear in formal evening attire, which they did—in pyjamas. This year’s fall dance, given in Thistle Hall, was the best we have yet had. Martin Erie, chairman of the dance committee, deserves great credit for the hard work and the amount of thought that was apparent in the arrangements. He and his committee earned a hearty vote of thanks. At the time of writing we arc unable to say much about the spring dance, save that there is to be one. Mr. O’Toole, in charge of athletic equipment, and Mr. Staudt, representative on the Intramural Athletic Board, have taken care of the basketball and mushbnll activities. All three halls were represented in each of these sports. This year the council assumed control of the dormitory club room. Chairman R. 1).

The organization was called the Self-Government Association of the Fifth Avenue Hall. All students of the Fifth Avenue Hall were niemliers of this association, and the executive power was vested in a President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, and a House Committee. The association was under the jurisdiction of the Margaret Morrison Student Government Association. In 1920 the name of the association was changer! to the Student Government Association of Women’s Dormitories of Carnegie Institute of Technology. The executive and judiciary power of this organization was vested in a Council consisting of a President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, a representative from Margaret Morrison Division, one from Arts Division, one from Psychology Division, one from the approved houses, and the House Presidents. The purpose of the organization was to control the conduct of the women in the dormitories and approved houses, whether this he in the dormitories, streets, parks, or trolley cars; to control forms of dishonesty; and to maintain a high standard of honor among the women students at Carnegie. Several years later, when the dormitories became a separate unit, the name of the governing organization was changed to the Women’s Dormitory Council, consisting of a President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, and the House Presidents. The activities were similar to those of previous years, the purpose of the organization being to maintain a high standard of conduct; to promote a sense of honor and individual responsibility; and to control matters relating to students who live in the Women’s Dormitories. A handbook is provided for each student containing the rules and regulations of the dormitories. These rules may Ik changed or amended each year by the Council with the approval of the Dean of Women. 'I’he social activities of the Council are few. During the Freshmen Week, Council gives a steak fry and a party for the incoming freshmen women who arc to live in the dormitories. This is given for the purpose of acquainting the freshmen with the regulations and the memliers of Council. The only other activity is the Women’s Dormitory Tea, which is held in Mellon Hall and Forbes Hall in November. In 1933 several changes were made in the Constitution of the Council. It became affiliated with the Student Council of Carnegie Institute of Technology. This organization voted to give activities keys to the representatives on Council serving two or more years. This year three keys were given. The membership of the organization was changed, in that the Vice-Presidents in the upper class houses were permitted to sit on Council.

The purpose of Intcrfrutcrnity Council is to bring about a more unified, coherent fraternity group and to elevate their standing above that of clubs or boarding houses. It aims to elevate the social and scholastic standing of its member fraternities and presents a cup each semester to the fraternity attaining the highest scholastic standing, provided that house has a designated number of active members in school. Council has the power to arbitrate on all matters concerning the fraternity group as a whole. Each year it draws up a set of rushing rules and, after careful consideration and the approval of the administration, it presents these to the succeeding council members for their acceptance. The present council has drawn up new rushing rules which should prove to be more successful than the rules of past years. A pamphlet concerning these rules and giving an accurate account of all fraternities represented in council will Ik- given to every new registrant in the fall of 1934, to assist in the proper selection of a fraternity. All member fraternities are eligible to In-long to the Carnegie Steward’s Guild from which many already receive dividends ami rebates. This aids many fraternities in the proper selection of food at most reasonable prices. Interfraternity Council sponsors and supports many activities and sports on the campus thereby increasing competition and giving those who are not able to compete on school teams the opportunity for non-scholastic activities. Intramural sports consist of mushball, basketball, swimming, and track. Another intramural activity is debating. Competition confined to fraternities alone are Interfraternity Sweepstakes and Interfraternity Bridge. Each spring during the month of March the Interfraternity Formal is held at one of the local hotels. This affair is confined mostly to fraternity men, cither active or alumnus. The Spring Carnival and Greek Sing and Swing have been successful events on Carnegie’s social calendar through the cooperation of the council and the men represented by council. Members of council are the presidents or corresponding officers of the fraternities or a man designated bv him. The custom of having a junior and senior representative to council was discontinued in 1932; it is hoped that this precedent will lie revived by the council of 1934-1935, in order that all situations confronting council may be properly handled.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY “Pictures, Copy, Subscriptions.” These words will echo many times in our minds. The whispering started with the opening of school, and when rumors were circulated that we were in danger of not having a book this year the whispering grew until the entire campus became “Thistle Conscious.” Those were dark days, and the staff realized it; but it was stirred to aggressive activity rather than disheartened bv the difficult program which lay before it. For it was decided that the book would have to prove its worth before it could be published. The general business conditions of the Thistle would have to assume an early appearance of constitutional healthiness. It must develop characteristics indicative that it could stand upon its own feet. The success of this year’s book would decide the fate of books for the future. These were the difficult factors which confronted the staff’. The manner in which the difficulties wore sur- mounted, the backing which the student body and faculty have given the book, and the story of how the staff showed its mettle in bringing into existence the object of its concentrated efforts make a long and involved story. Outside of a very brief discourse on the work and the workers, let it be enough that here, before your eyes, is the product of our labors. We did it ! Soon after the financial difficulties were adjusted, contracts for pages in the book were let out, and the volume assumed the form of an indexed catalogue. Slowly the ideas which each of us had formulated in our minds took on relationships with each other's, and the indexes and contracts took the shapes of photographs, dummies, and copy. With a mass of material before it, and a board of conflicting ideas pushing it, the staff watched the process whereby a NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR conglomeration of intricacies and loose ends wove itself into an autobiography of our Alina Mater. Carnegie’s own story unfolded itself to us, and its philosophy became illustrated for us as we watched with hated breath. By far the greatest difficulty we encountered was in maintaining a pace equal to the speed of that in which the Story of the Clan was recounted to us. The task of getting group pictures fell on the capable shoulders of our Photographic Editor, James Latta. In assisting him, a barrage of postal cards and ’phone calls was launched by Jim Potter, Fraternity Editor. At this point the clouds which threatened to envelop us began to roll away, and to Ik replaced by certainty. This inspired Ernie Scldeusc-ner. Advertising Manager, to match his shrewd business ability with that of established business bouses. In bis work lie was assisted by Fred McKelvy. Fred Dubin, Business Manager, formed plans for an intensive selling campaign. Posters were displayed on the campus. The Gallant Ga'elen, heroic figure throughout our theme, made his first appearance at the Carnegie-W. J. football game, where he was greeted by the entire stadium. The Kilties played as an introduction the song of songs, “The Blue Bells of Scotland.” The desired result was accomplished, as was indicated by the mounting sales which we realized soon after. Then, in cooperation with the Junior Men’s Honorary, we held a dance and floor show in Thistle Ilall. Veronica Kloos, as Secretary, proved such a valuable asset to the staff that she was soon appointed Executive Manager. Madolin Vautrinot, as Art Editor, contributed an added incentive with her clever ideas for the art sections of the book. Jerry Hanson. Designer, worked band in band with every department of the staff. Ilis calm and practical mind was the guiding light to achieve the best, and to still remain within our allotted budget. Audrey Kelly, assisted bv June Fulls, made valuable use of their charming personalities in envcigling fair co-eds and brawny eds to contribute snapshots for the feature section. Jean Sloane, who was always ready to lend a helping band even outside her specific field of work, assisted on the art work. Al Jenkins, whose drawing talent is known to be unusual, added a touch in bringing out the most delicate things which we tried to say. James MeXaughton worked extremely hard until he was forced to sojourn at the hospital. Betty Schrack and Evelyn Lyle, Sophomore Editors, can always Ik remembered for the clever way in which they solved their problems in sisterly cooperation. Jayne Henderson, Feature Editor, oftentimes helped us also with her secretarial talents, l.igia Squitieri, our Copy Editor, probably spent many sleepless nights wondering about copy, and she deserves especial commendation for keeping calm while others were dreadfully excited. Bill Becker, in his work of compiling the athletic section, spent many hours consulting with Max Han-num, and, as football manager, lie was always on the field, getting first-hand information for bis section. In conclusion it is appropriate to mention several other things which are to Ik remembered—those long sessions devoted to assembling the Thistle as its parts came to us; the unusual cooperation the Night Thistle staff gave us; and the contagious enthusiasm of our chief, Editor Regis Joyce. As for Regis, well everyone knows “liege” by now. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Tartan s In the consideration of the history of the school year 1933-34, one thing that cannot go unnoticed is the indelible account made in the records by the Carnegie Tartan. This year, in particular, there can be no dmiht that this campus publication had an unusual amount of influence on campus life at Carnegie. From the beginning of the year it was evident that the Tartan was a more alert, progressive newspaper than it had ever been before. The opening issues found it experimenting in layout in an attempt to improve its appearance. While this was being accomplished it branched out, too, in its news policy, continually striving to make the Tartan a news sheet and not an announcement sheet, as it tended to be previously. But perhaps here it would be wise to disregard the chronological order of events and describe an important change in the physical assets of the Tartan, because this factor was so significant of the attitude and spirit of the 'Tartan throughout the year. Toward the end of the first semester, the Tartan offices were enlarged and rc-cquippcd. The wall partition to an adjacent room was broken down, adding about 300 square feet of working space to the former inadequate space of the office. Also the old, unused Battery Laboratory was moved to make room for the editor's and business manager’s offices. Complete renovation was accomplished when new equipment was supplied, providing new furniture and files particularly adaptable to newspaper work. New lighting fixtures and flooring added finishing touches to what was quickly becoming a model newspaper office. Provision for future expansion was accounted for in the offices across the hall. When the entire task was completed, it was no exaggeration to say that Carnegie’s school paper possessed one of the finest college newspaper offices in the country. Although this particular change may pale in impor- NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR The Staff tancc beside the other tremendous strides Hie Tartan has made, it was nevertheless very symbolic of the new spirit that had invaded the paper. For not only were its offices enlarged, hut also its scope and policy were broadened. It became a lively, campus-conscious paper, with a lilicral, progressive editorial policy and an attitude of independence. Working ever in the interest of the student body, the Tartan became critical of the existing set-up on the campus. Student government was one of the first factors to feel the force of its attack, when Tartan editorials stressed the need for honest, fair elections, and more equal representation in Student Council. Investigations were started which inquired into the duties of class officers and ultimately discovered much laxit y in a great many of the important student positions. The administration and management of social functions, and other phases of campus activity, also came in for serious criticism at some time or another. Continually striving to better the campus, the Tartan suggested and worked for many improvements. A drive was instituted for a bell and clock tower which aroused much student enthusiasm. A second-hand bookstore was also advised in its columns. V The news also was admittedly well-written and up-to-date. Six-page issues became a usual occurrence—the top-notch being reached with the publication of an eight-page issue which came out in conjunction with the Tartan Style Show, another major accomplishment of the year—credit for which goes to the Business Stall. From a standpoint of feature material, the77ir « attained a new high, publishing interviews of people of political, artistic and athletic prominence. The composite of all these elements of journalism achieved a vibrant, spirited result. The Tartan had really become a paper for the students—a vital, influential factor of campus life. And, as though to furnish proof of this, the Tartan took top honors at the Spring Convention of the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association of the Middle Atlantic States. Alexander Gardner, a contest judge, said of the paper in awarding it first place in his news selections, “The Carnegie Tartan gets my vote for first place. Excellent display throughout each issue with versatility in use of type. Good heads on good stories: that is, uniformly well written.” The year's work was brought to a close officially at the ’Tartan banquet in the Carnegie Inn, May 5. At that time the entire stall-' joined in paying sincere tribute to the man most responsible for the Tartan's remarkable success—its hard-working, capable editor, Edmund J. McCormick. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Puppet OFFICERS: Roger Middekkace, Editor; .Irse Friis, U'ointn's Editor; John Richmond, Exchange Editor; Bert Travis, Art Editor; John Fox, lturinf.tr Manager; Wai.i.v Hamilton, Advertising Manager; Warren Ailes, Circulation Manager. Although college humor magazines arc claimed to be rackets, are condemned In' deans, and are riled by students in general, there are those who will contribute material and pay ten cents to see their stuff in print. And that is the justification for the Puppet this year. We try to keep it clean and we try harder to make it funny, but sometimes we slip up. We also try to keep it a Carnegie Tech publication as much as possible but sometimes it is even hard to find something funny about Tech; and then we either make up something funny or drop out a couple of pages. We started out the year with seven editors and a staff of thirty. We ended the year with the same seven editors and a staff of forty-two. June Fuhs collected the material from the girls and edited the Co-ed Issue. John Richmond collected the material from the other college comics and edited the Exchange Issue. Bert Travis had charge of the Art Staff and was responsible for the new style standard cover with halftone insert. John Fox was successful in keeping the bills down, Wally Hamilton sold advertising, and Warren Ailes controlled the day school circulation. Roger Middlckauff held the whip. On March the twenty-seventh the staff got tired playing in its own back yard all the time and went over to the Tartan office and put out a six-page April Fool Tartan. In return, the Tartan staff took over our offices and put out a Tartan Issue of the Puppet. An exchange of this kind is an innovation to the campus, and, to our knowledge, an innovation to any college campus. When the editor of the Thistle, Regis Joyce, suggested a Puppet in the Thistle we thought he was kidding. However we got the two staffs together, drew up some plans, and set to work. The Thistle Puppet is composed of the best contributions of the year and we are proud to present it as an example of our work. We consider this an innovation too because we know no one has ever before paid tlnec-fifty to read a Puppet. The Carnegie Tech Puppet believes that there is always a new way to say an old joke and that when three thousand students go to school to work there is bound to be a lot of fun. We hope the next staff will be just as optimistic and will continue with the same motto, “An empty waste basket—a full dinner pail- -and a Puppet for every fireplace.” NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR OFFICERS: IIaiivkv Hahroi , Kditor-in-Chief; I .on A. Sqi'itikri, Business Manager; Margaret McKki.vky, ll'oman's lul it or, Ci.ydk S. Gisciikl, Advertising Manager. The Tri-Publicalions Stall' is composed of students of all four colleges of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Editor. Business Manager, and Woman’s Editor of the staff are seniors, and the Advertising Manager is a junior. Positions on the staff of Tri-Publications are obtained by activity in advertising and sales work during the freshman and sophomore years. It is the endeavor of the Tri-Publications staff to supply the students of the day school with the three smaller but nevertheless indispensable publications, as distinguished from the yearbook and the weekly and monthly publications of the student body. These smaller publications, which appear annually, are the Student Handbook, which is more commonly known as the “Plcbe Bible,” the Student Directory, and the Carnegie Song Book. These three the staff compiles, edits, and distributes yearly, the Handbook appearing at the very start of the school year, the Directory later on, when addresses and registration of the students are settled, and the Song Book whenever there is need of a supply to Ik- had on hand. The Student Handbook is the freshman's first medium of contact with the students and activities at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Handbook is written primarily for the freshman in an effort to convey to him the spirit of the campus and to inform him of the history and the traditions of the school. The hook also contains much valuable advice to the freshmen from the sophomores. II regularly contains a standard list and explanation of the rules and regu- lations governing the actions of men and women enrolled in the school, regulations and information regarding the dormitories, eligibility rules, and similar information. Of great interest to the student is the content of historical data and briefs regarding each of the activities on the campus and a list of the officers for the classes and senates of each of the four schools. Although the Handbook is edited mainly for the freshmen, it is a guide and handy friend to the members of all classes, and a valuable aid to the students in general. The Student Directory contains complete information concerning the home address, local address, and telephone number of every day student enrolled at Carnegie. It includes a fraternity, sorority, and dormitory directory as well as a complete list of the members of all the fraternities and sororities, both social and honorary, together with their respective officers, members and pledges. There is also a list of the officers for the four classes and senates for the current year. Every organization and student in school has discovered the usefulness of the Student Directory. It is especially valuable to graduates who intend to keep in touch with their classmates. The Directory is very valuable to the undergraduates also, during the vacations and holidays when it is wished to maintain correspondence with classmates. The Song Book contains the words and music of all the school songs, as well as those of the various fraternities. It is a desirable adjunct to organization libraries and a permanent reminder of ‘‘Dear Old Tech.” CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Daily Carnivalian HARRY $. HOWER • JOSEPH ADAMS The Daily Carnivalian, infant of Carnegie publications, blossomed forth for the first time at this year's Spring Carnival. Published on the same basis as a regular city paper, but containing only items of interest to the school community. The Carnivalian brought a number of new and interesting features to the campus. Chief of these features were the daily rotogravure sections, the travel page, the woman’s page, and features bv students and faculty members. The paper was published daily in a sixteen page form, the first issue making its appearance at the Coronation Ball. Next day The Carnivalian scored its first major scoop over the local daily field when it made its appearance at the Hev Day festivities with complete details of the sweepstakes preliminaries which had just been completed a few hours before. The Saturday issue made its appearance just at the close of the call day exercises and, in addition to carrying the final returns of the sweepstakes and Hey Day competitions, contained a complete list of all those called by the various honoraries. Much interest was aroused among the student body by the daily appearances of 'The Carnivalian and the manner in which the students received the new venture practically assures its permanence as a regular feature of the biggest event of the school year, the annual Spring Carnival. In editing the paper the staff adopted the slogan of “The Liveliest Daily College Paper in the United States,” and the energetic efforts expended by all the members of the staff helped them to realize this ambition, though it was for only a three day period. The innovation of the woman’s page proved very popular with the co-ed memliers of the student body. It was edited with the cooperation of Alpha Chi Alpha, the woman’s journalistic honorary, and was devoted solely to items whose chief appeal was to the women of the campus. The other chief innovation of The Carnivalian, a travel section, contained daily articles written by a well-known travel lecturer. It was executed in a light, humorous manner. These articles proved both interesting and educational to the memlKTs of the student body. Professor Lawler contributed a series of articles on college journalism, which were later reprinted in the Collegiate Publisher, the house organ of the Associated Collegiate Press of the National Scholastic Press Association. These articles appeared on the editorial page along with editorials on the carnival events and a column of rather personal nature. 'Phe campaign to introduce the new publication was both novel and interesting. The paper gave a number of valuable prizes to its subscribers, and conducted a series of contests that were extremely interesting to its readers. A series of radio programs over the NBC station, WCAK, were sponsored on the Saturday afternoons preceding the carnival. These did their bit to stimulate interest in local advertisers and student subscribers as well. The Daily Carnivalian was entirely self-supporting during its first year of existence. The paper was owned by the members who held the major positions on the staff and the necessary capital for the carrying on of pre-publication activities was supplied by them. The paper demonstrated conclusively that a wide awake business staff can make a financial success of a school paper on the returns from local advertising, and that school subsidies of papers are not essential to their success.

Alpha ('hi Alpha is the national journalistic honorary society for women. In order to he called to membership in Alpha (’hi Alpha, a girl must have shown marked ability in journalism as well as have taken an active part in collegiate publications. Two years’ service on a publication is the minimum requirement for membership in Alpha Chi Alpha. Calls arc made twice each year, in the fall and on Qualifications Day in the spring. Members are chosen from girls in Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts Colleges. The Women’s journalistic honorary was founded at the University of Tennessee in 15)1!), and now has thirteen chapters scattered throughout the country. Although Alpha ('hi Alpha originated in the east, most of the active chapters are now in the west, in California, Wisconsin and Colorado. Theta, the Carnegie chapter, and Laminin, at Salem College, North Carolina, are the only active chapters now existing in the east. While Alpha Chi Alpha’s activities arc connected for the greater part with the Tartan and Puppet, and with furthering journalism generally, at times the organization has departed from its fundamental path and gone into the social field. This has occurred on numerous occasions when Alpha Chi Alpha has sponsored afternoon tea dances, which it does generally about twice each year. Alpha Chi Alpha conducted a general assembly for women at one time this year, at which a very well-known Pittsburgh writer spoke. Alpha Chi Alpha’s attempts to forward the activity of the girls in publications work have been most successful. In cooperation with l’i Delta Epsilon, men's journalistic honorary, two joint meetings were held during the past year. The plans of each organization were discussed, and both honoraries profited tremendously. This served to stimulate interest in the plan to have many joint meetings in the forthcoming year. At the journalistic convention held at Carnegie this year, much valuable information was gained concerning the publications work done by girls at other colleges. It was indeed gratifying to learn that the work of the Carnegie co-eds is equal and in many cases superior to that of others. This report, coupled with other valuable reports, has given the organization added incentive to continue its noteworthy activity on campus publications.

Pi Delta Epsilon is the Men’s national collegiate journalistic honorary fraternity. The purpose of Pi Delta Epsilon is to sponsor and promote undergraduate interest in college journalism through local chapters established on various campuses throughout the country. The national organization was founded in 1909 at Syracuse University. This year marks for the organization the close of twenty-five years of invaluable service to the undergraduate press. The organization has grown until now there are a total of forty-six active chapters extending from Maine to Florida and all the way across the country to California. The Carnegie Chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon was established in 192 3 when the local campus journalistic honorary, Alpha Alpha Xu, petitioned the national organization which was at that time in grand convention at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin. 'Phe petition of Alpha Alpha Xu was granted without delay. 'Phe organization on the Carnegie campus has since become one of the foremost of the College's honorary fraternities. The tenth anniversary of the Carnegie Chapter’s existence was celebrated when the local chapter was host to the visiting delegates to the grand convention held in Pittsburgh on Dcceml er 14, 15, and 1G, 1933. The chapter has taken an active part in the promotion of campus publications and has sponsored numerous journalistic activities. It has annually held freshman student publication assemblies for the purpose of better acquainting the freshmen with the various student publications, and to encourage a greater amount of student participation in campus publication activities. A Publications Staff Smoker has been held annually to stimulate interest in staff positions on the various campus publications. An annual exhibition of student publications has been held in conjunction with the Institute’s exhibition during the spring on Exhibition Xight. An off-campus activity which the chapter has successfully conducted for several years is the holding of an annual newspaper contest l� ctween the high schools of the metropolitan Pittsburgh district. Three trophies are awarded by the chapter in this project, one for the l est all-around high school newspaper, one for the best editorials, and one for the ljest news stories. In this way the organization does much to foster an early influence for journalistic achievement among the youthful element of Pittsburgh. Members of Pi Delta Epsilon are chosen from the student body at large who have worked on the campus publications. Those men arc called at one of the Tap Day exercises.

The Men’s Cilee Club has by serious practice and hard work obtained a reputable position on the Carnegie Tech campus. The club, which is composed of approximately forty voices, has been placed in the capable hands of Professor Malcherek as director. The Glee Club is open to both Engineering and Arts School men; it offers each individual an extremely entertaining recreation, and for those who arc studying voice the Glee Club cannot he surpassed in that it offers of practical training and experience. The club does not confine its repertoire to pieces of any one nature; religious and semi-classical songs are rendered. Jazz, since it is the product of one generation, is excluded from the repertoire. The Men’s Glee Club has given several concerts at school functions and a few in nearby churches. The members are welcome guests at the Shady Avenue Presbyterian Church, and many of their concerts have been given for the Handliu Club, which is a part of the church. The club has always participated in the Greek Sing and Swing, and this year the ovation given the members was tremendous. Following the demi-tasse at the Y-Christmas Dinner the Glee Club sang. Many concerts have been given for the benefit of the Helping Hand organization of Pittsburgh; needless to say, they were greatly appreciated. The combined Home Concert was given March Hi in the I.ittle Theatre. This concert is an annual affair given by the Women’s and Men’s Glee Clubs and has n recognized place on the School Social Calendar. Picture the members of both clubs, dressed in formal clothes, dancing to the strains of a smooth, harmonious band. Imagine yourself present when the combined voices were raised in melodious song. The affair was a huge success, and was an example of similar elaborate affairs to come in the future. The Men’s Glee Club has also participated in chapel exercises, and three concerts given over KI)KA brought the already successful season to an even more successful close.

'Pile Women’s Glee Club was organized in 11)19 by Florence Camp Parry and the Class of 11)22 as the Margaret Morrison Musical Club under the direction of Ilarvey B. Gaul. In 1923 Edward Kiebel became the Director; lie was succeeded in 1925 by A1 Johnson. The present Faculty Director, Karl A. Mal-cherek, was chosen in 1930. Membership is open to all young women on Carnegie Campus who successfully satisfy mpiircments of a technical test under the supervision of the Faculty and Student directors at the beginning of the season. Thus the Club is one of the few combined activities since it is composed of women from the College of Fine Arts and Margaret Morrison Carnegie College anil promotes a feeling of fellowship and eooperation between the two schools. The Glee Club offers recreation as well as musical training and appreciation to its members. For two years faithful service, silver activities keys are awarded. The reward for four years active participation is a gold key; few members, however, receive this honor. From the first of October until May practices arc held twice weekly an evening rehearsal conducted by the Faculty Director and an afternoon rehearsal directed by the Student Director. The concert season extends from January to May. The Club annually fills a large number of .engagements. This year’s activities are given briefly below. The girls accepted an invitation to sing at the Student Reception of the First Baptist Church, October 7. They joined the Men’s Glee Club in a ('Impel program January 10. January 18 they presented their annual concert at the Marine Hut Hospital. The girls broadcast over KI)KA March 15 from 10:30 to 11 :()() P.M. Just ten years ago on January 11. 1924. the Glee Club had its first radio concert. 'Pile Women’s Glee Club presented a formal program in conjunction with the Men’s Glee Club at the Annual Home Concert on March 10, in the Little Theatre. Following this concert the Combined Glee Club Dance was held. At Fraternal Hall, McKees Bocks, a concert was sponsored by the Chartiers Lodge. After the Glee Club hud rendered the concert, it was served refreshments. The Glee Club was similarly treated at the concert requested by the Veterans of the Masonic Temple, East End, in holiday Easter style on March 20. The Syria Luncheon Club sponsored a program at their regular noon meeting on April 13 in the lovely Urban Boom of the William Penn Hotel. On May 18 the Combined Glee Clubs will present a concert under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution at Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Hall.

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is the men’s musical honorary in the Department of Music of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was founded at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts, on October 6, 1898. The group of musicians who established the organization had as a goal the advancing of the cause of music in America and the promotion of the well-being of things musical in general. The national organization has had a relatively steady growth until at the present time its membership includes all of sixty active chapters located on the leading college campuses of the entire country. Previous to the establishment of Alpha Omega Chapter, as the Carnegie branch of the organization is designated, the men’s musical activities on the Carnegie campus were sponsored almost entirely by a local honorary fraternity for music students, called the Clef Club, from the French word for “key.” The local group became a chapter of the national organization of Phi Mu Alpha on March 26, 1928, when the Clef Club's petition to the parent organization through the supreme council had been approved and a charter granted to them. With reorganization, a wider program of activities was assumed. Since the national has been established on the Carnegie Campus, Alpha Omega Chapter has taken an active part in developing and furthering the student’s interest in music. A song contest has been conducted in an effort to secure new college songs for Carnegie. This contest was given a healthy reception by the student body, and has resulted in the addition of the Skibo song to the campus song list. Musical programs of intellectual and aesthetic selection are sponsored bv the members of Phi Mu Alpha, given at periods throughout the year. On National Founders’ Day as well as on the anniversary of the installation of the local chapter some musical activity is indulged in by the chapter as a fitting manner in which to observe the perpetuation of the memories of the events for which each stands. The Carnegie Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha is vitally interested in the Kiltie Band and the Men’s Glee Club. From these two organizations and the students of the Department of Music of the College of Fine Arts, the Alpha Omega Chapter selects its candidates for membership. The men who are tendered bids to the honorary organization are chosen from among those outstanding students who have shown leadership and initiative in the Music Department or who arc active in the promotion of the welfare of the campus musical organizations.

Sigina Alpha Iota is a national professional music fraternity for women. The national organization was founded in 100.'} at the University School of Music of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the oldest organization of the music sorority type in this country. Sigina Alpha Iota draws its active membership from professional musicians, students of music, and others in the vast held of music and the related arts. The first requisite for membership must he an achievement of high standards in scholarship, personal characteristics, and musicianship. The objectives of the organization are expressed in its activities, which endeavor to aid its members in the moral, material, and professional ways, to raise and maintain the standards of music in America, and to promote loyalty to the school and general cooperation with it. There are about sixty-five active chapters and about twenty alumni chapters of Sigma Alpha Iota in the United States, covering the expanse from the east to the west and from the north to the south. Chapters are established in nearly all of the colleges and universities of good standing which offer undergraduate or graduate work in music. Alpha Mu chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota was established at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in May, 1930. Each chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota is required by the national constitution to present a musical program of some sort once each month during the school year, on which program every member of the local organization must appear at some time during that period. About half of these musical programs are open to the public, the others being closed affairs for the members of Sigma Alpha Iota exclusively. Among the open programs of the past year were a Christmas program which was sponsored in conjunction with the entire Department of Music, an American program given with Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a formal program which was followed by a reception, and a MacDowcll program and tea. This last event is one which is held annually by every chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota in the country. A collection is taken at this function, of which the proceeds are used for the maintenance of Pan’s Cottage, a project of the sorority at the MacDowcll Colony in Pcterboro, New Hampshire. The Alpha Mu chapter at Carnegie Institute of Technology has recently been honored by the appointment of Miss Iluldah Jane Kenlev, a faculty advisor and alumni member of this chapter, as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee of the national organization. Hetty Nicholson, who is also a member of the Alumni, has attained prominence for the organization by her activities in directing a series of radio programs over a local broadcasting station last vear. The Alpha Mu chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota lias a total active membership of twenty-seven. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Kiltie Band OFFICERS: E. F. Sumjvan, Director; Harvey T.

Carnegie’s first band was organized in 1910. In 1912 Mr. E. F. Sullivan became director of the band, which position he still holds. The first kilts were secured by student contribution in 1922, at which time they were used at Carnegie’s first game with Notre Dame. Although the snow was four inches deep that day, and the temperature down to 4 above zero, the kilts became traditional for the Carnegie band. Since 1922 the Kiltie Hand has become more and more recognized until for the past several years it has been nationally famous. The unique uniforms gain much attention on all trips of the band. Each year the Athletic Association takes the band on at least one out-of-town trip with the football team. This year the band went to New York City, with special permission from the Administration, to spend two whole days to play for the New York University game. A highly successful trip was that to the Indiana State Teachers’ College, for their Homecoming game against the Carnegie freshman team. The band was entertained by the “teachers” at luncheon, dinner, and the annual Homecoming dance. The Kilties again saw action in an NR A parade in Lisbon, Ohio, as often happens, in a downpour of rain! Later in the year, the Kilties visited and entertained the men quartered in the Pittsburgh Helping Hand Society. The band also marched with the R. O. T. C. in the annual Exhibition Parade, and for the President’s Review during the Spring Carnival. One of the aims of the Kiltie Hand is to establish an annual “Home Concert,” a custom which is not now-in vogue at Carnegie. The band feels tlmt both it and the student body would benefit greatly from the establishment of a concert of this type. Membership in the Kiltie Hand is subject to the regular eligibility rulings of the institution. Silver and gold keys are awarded for two and four years’ service in the band respectively. The Kilties are justifiably proud to be the first band to have formed moving letters on a football field at the half period during games, and to have sent up colored balloons carrying the names of tlu schools.

The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at Carnegie in its present form results from the National Defense Act of 1016 and its amendments which provided a scheme of organizing the military forces for national defense to such advantage as might Ik- obtained from a consideration of all factors. The Act defined the United States Army as consisting of three components: the Regular Army, the National Guard, and the Organized Reserve Corps. It is mainly to provide officers for the latter component that the R.O.T.C. was instituted in the schools and colleges. At Carnegie, as at other schools throughout the country, there existed during the last few months of the World War a training body called the Students Army Training Corps, known as the S.A.T.C. The S.A.T.C. was organized and began to function with the opening of the schools in September, 1918. The purpose of this organization was to supply officers for the Army from among the most proficient graduates. There were approximately 1000 students at Carnegie and perhaps a total of 200,000 in the colleges throughout the country who were enrolled in this corps, but the signing of the Armistice came before the course was completed. Upon the establishment of the R.O.T.C. at this institution there were set up four units: the Engineer, the Signal, the Field Artillery, and the Motor Transport Units. As a result of the education in military training from the date of installation (March, 1910) to the present time there have been commissioned as Second Lieutenants 860 in the Engineer Reserve Corps, 10T in the Signal Reserve Corps, and 28 in the Motor Transport Corps. The Field Artillery Unit was discontinued in 1920. the Motor Transport in 1924. Carnegie may well Ik- proud of its output, which compares most favorably with any other college of its kind. The course comprises four years with a six weeks’ attendance at camp. The first two years, the Basic Course, correspond to the freshman and sophomore years in school, and the last two years, the Advanced Course, correspond to the junior and senior years. In all these years subjects such as map making and military sketching, scouting and patrolling, explosives and demolitions, roads, bridges, organization, military law, military history, drill, rifle and pistol marksmanship, as well as others, are covered. The course prepares a man for the duties of an officer who must have the capability for leadership and who, of course, has many responsibilities Insides those of the technique of his branch. It rounds him out to advantage in contacts with persons and groups and inculcates within himself a spirit of self-discipline. The relations of the individual to other individuals and groups is emphasized, with a resulting consciousness of the need for teamwork, for the successful operation of masses, and a realization of the relative unimportance of the individual to the success of projects.

It has ns its members cadet officers who are selected on the basis of military ability. character, and qualities of leadership. In addition to the student members, there are a few honorary memltcrs who are chosen from the field of officers in the various branches of the United States Army, and the Organized Reserve Corps. As an undergraduate organization. Scabbard and Blade strives to promote friendship and cooperation among the cadet officers and in the local R.O.T.C. unit. It offers highly prized rewards for excellent work among the cadets and sponsors competition for the same purpose. Training in citizenship and patriotism are its ultimate ends, and Scabbard and Blade supports every group or movement on the campus which works toward this end. The social requirements of the R.O.T.C. on the Carnegie campus are also provided by Scabbard and Blade. Every year on the evening before Armistice l)av, the organization presents the Military Ball, which is the outstanding social event of the first semes- ter, and the first formal dance of the year. At this time the Honorary Cadet Officers, who are chosen by the ranking cadet officers, are introduced to the school, and are presented with honorary commissions and the insignia of their cadet rank. The Military Ball is also the occasion for the first call of the year, when the senior pledges are named as well as a few very outstanding juniors. The second call of the year for Scabbard and Blade pledges is made before the organization exclusively at a Spring Formal. An announcement of these calls is made before the entire school on Call Day during Campus Week. At this time, the remaining junior members are given bids to the society. Other activities of the organization include the sponsorship of awards which arc given to the winning R.O.T.C. company in the Competitive Drill, as well as to the individual members of the company, and awards for members of the men’s and women’s rifle teams who participate in special rifle competition. As a graduate organization of alumni councils. Scabbard and Blade works to advance the interests of the Reserve Officers, and to assist wherever possible the functions of the R.O.T.C. units in the various colleges and universities. This large body of alumni members serves as a unit in keeping Scabbard and Blade nationally active, and in maintaining the organization and its relationship with the R.O.T.C. in good national repute. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Honorary Cadet Officers Cold weather had driven Carnegie Tech’s R. (). T. C. within doors. The girls in Margaret Morrison could no longer enjoy the Army’s morning drills on the cut. Somewhere the boys were receiving private lessons on how to become good soldiers. One day, firearms were laid aside while the boys elected their honorary commanding officers for the year. From the Junior and Senior classes of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College and the College of Fine Arts, nine girls were chosen to receive honorary commissions at the annual Military Ball. Since the girls were not used to military tactics, they had to be trained before they could appear in public as members of the R. (). T. C. Their first taste of army life came when they received orders to don part of the cadets’ uniforms and line up in formation to have their pictures taken. Because they had trouble keeping in step, the honorary cadet officers were ordered to appear for final drill before the official presentation ceremony at the Hall. At the drill, the girls learned which foot is which and how to salute in the army. On November 10, in Thistle Hall, the bugle signalled for the honorary cadets and their escorts to fall in line for the march. On the shoulders of each girl were pinned the insignia of her rank: eagles for the colonel, maple leaves for the two majors, and bars for the six captains. The band struck up a march, and under the arch of sabers to receive commissions marched: Honorary Cadet Colonel Jean Douglas, 34, Treasurer of the Beta Pi Sorority of the College of Fine Arts. Honorary Cadet Major of Battalion A Ellen Bishop, ’34, Vice-President of the Margaret Morrison Senate and a meml� c rof the Kappa Phi Delta Sorority of Margaret Morrison.

Plii Kappa Phi is a national honorary society, of which a chapter was installed on the Carnegie Institute of Technology campus on June .'). 191)3. The membership of Phi Kappa Phi is comprised of students who have maintained a record of exceptional undergraduate scholastic achievement. The primary principle or object of Phi Kappa Phi honorary society is that of emphasizing the importance of scholarship in the minds of the students and to stimulate mental achievement purely through offering the valuable prize of membership in the organization. By maintaining standards which make il a ranking scholastic honorary. Phi Kappa Phi maintains its prestige and the real value of the privilege to membership. Phi Kappa Phi democratically elects those students who are ranking in the upper tenth of the class at the end of three years in a four-year course leading to a bachelor’s degree. The students in all the various colleges of Margaret Morrison. Fine Arts, Engineering, and Industries Colleges of Carnegie Institute of Technology stand on an equal footing in election for membership to Phi Kappa Phi. The society stands for the unity and democracy of learning, and membership in it is open to members of all other honorary societies and fraternities on the campus. It discriminates neither as to color or nationality, nor as to sex. The total membership in Phi Kappa Phi is now over 22,500. Especially for the promotion of advanced scholarship, the National Organization of Phi Kappa Phi has established an endowment called the Sparks Memorial Phi Kappa Phi Graduate Fellowship, named in honor of a former President General of the Society, which is granted annually for graduate study. Although the Carnegie Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi is but a year old, membership in it has been recognized as a ranking honor on this campus, as on campuses of other leading colleges and universities all over the country.

It was from the first intended to Ik- a professional general engineering fraternity, purposed to inculcate high ethical and professional standards, and to foster close fraternal relations among its members. Membership is limited to students of engineering of “personal worthiness and of promising engineering ability.” Its scholastic standards arc high. Although all the founders were students of mining engineering, the general policy of the fraternity is to enter any first-class engineering college or university, and each chapter is permitted to select its members from students following any courses in engineering or geology, as it may desire. It does not permit its members to join other engineering fraternities, either general or departmental, except honorary scholastic organizations; but it admits members of the general collegiate social fraternities. At the present time there are twenty-one active chapters of the national fraternity, located in the fore- most engineering schools of the country. The badge of Theta Tau is a golden gear wheel with a dark red garnet at the hub, the lower part of the wheel being crossed by a hammer and a pair of tongs. The Greek letters Theta and Tau are displayed between the spokes in the upper half of the wheel, and the rim of the wheel is set with pearls. The fraternity does not permit anyone who is not a member to wear its badge, nor does it allow the insignia to be made up into any other form of jewelry. The colors of the fraternity arc dark red and gold, and the flower is the Jacqueminot rose. The coat-of-arms shows three gear wheels in the upper part of the shield below which there is a bridge with three arches. The crest is a hand clasping the hammer and tongs. Xu Chapter of Theta Tau was established at the Carnegie Institute of Technology on January 1, 1922, and since that time the chapter has expanded and develop'd in all ways. In accordance with the national policy the members are chosen every fall and spring from students enrolled in the various engineering courses, elections being based on scholarship, activities, and personality. The chapter has many activities within the national organization, and also each year presents an award to the “Outstanding Senior Engineer.” During the course of the year several open meetings are held, to which the student bodv is invited, and these always prove both interesting and worthwhile.

Jr., to mark in a titling manner those who have conferred honor upon their alma mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering; and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America.” Active members are chosen from the upper quarter of the senior class and from the upper eighth of the junior class. Two calls arc made each year, one in the fall at which seniors and a maximum of three juniors are selected, and one in the spring for which only juniors are eligible. The program of the Carnegie chapter during the past year included conferences with the faculty, and the institution of a monitorial system. This system was the direct result of a plan for cooperation with the college authorities, in order to raise the scholastic average of the students in the lower tenth of the freshman class. Monitors were selected from the senior members of the association. While the results have been satisfactory, they have not been as grati- fying as they should have been, but Ibis is due primarily to the newness of the system at Carnegie. In addition to an interest in academic affairs, the association has initiated and led a movement to humanize the relation between teacher and student. Even beyond this, the association has sought to encourage a common spirit of sociability among students. While an annual dance helps to create a social feeling, nevertheless it has only a momentary effect, and further development of plans to create a more lasting social feeling is under way. Throughout the year’s work one lacking function of the association has been particularly noted, and that is a properly organized alumni branch of activities. Interest in Tau Beta Pi begins in college, but long after graduation this interest is kept alive by friendships and the common bond of membership. The need for such an organization is all the more apparent if it is remembered that Pittsburgh, as an engineering center of the I’nited States, has a large number of graduate members who would gladly enter into the creation of an alumni body. Still more evident is the fact that the number of graduates far exceeds the undergraduates, and the need for an alumni body from this standpoint is unquestioned. Alumni associations, such as the one proposed, would lean more to the professional type, and serve a purpose which far transcends the scope of the usual student, organization.

Pi Tnu Sigma is a national Mechanical Engineering honorary fraternity. The purpose of this engineering fraternity is threefold, namely: to foster the high ideals and aims of the engineering profession in general: to stimulate a productive interest in coordinate departmental activities; and to promote the mutual professional welfare of the members of I’i Tau Sigma. The initial organization of I’i Tau Sigma took place in what were originally two local fraternities at the University of Illinois and at the University of Wisconsin. I’i Tau Sigma was founded simultaneously at these two institutions, where it became a national organization early in the spring of 1!)1( . The fraternity has grown steadily since that time and consists at present of a total of fifteen chapters. The Carnegie Institute of Technology chapter, the Iota, was established in the spring of 1930. The activities of Iota chapter of Pi Tau Sigma are many and varied. Each year, in order to stimulate an interest in scholastic attainment, the fraternity presents a Mechanical Engineer’s Handbook to the sophomore Mechanical Engineering student possessing the highest scholastic average during his freshman year. An activity of a far different nature mav lie found in participation of Pi Tau Sigma in the annual All-Engineers’ dance, which is sponsored jointly hv four honorary fraternities in the College of Engineering. This spring, in the middle of April, a student engineering convention sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was held in Pittsburgh. Iota of Pi Tau Sigma cooperated with the local student branch of the A. S. M. E. to make this convention a success. In the spring of every year, at the exhibition made during Exhibition N ight at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is at that time opencil to the public for inspection, the Mechanical Engineering Department makes a display of its apparatus as do the other departments of the College. For the past several years Pi Tau Sigma has assumed the responsibility of exhibiting the various pieces of apparatus in the Mechanical Engineering laboratories, which they do in an engineering-like manner, hut in such a way as to make the display attractive and educational for the general public. In choosing its memliers, the fraternity recognizes sound engineering ability, scholarship, and personality as prerequisites. Members to Iota of Pi Tau Sigma are chosen from the junior and senior classes of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Eta OFFICERS: J. M. Hauvkv, president; 11T.

Eta Kappa Xu is an electrical engineering honorary fraternity founded at the University of Illinois in 1904. It was Mr. Maurice I.. Carr, a student at Illinois, who first saw the advantages of organizing such a society as Eta Kappa Xu. With Mr. Carr, who is now living in Pittsburgh, were nine other students, who together formed the first chapter of Eta Kappa Xu at the University of Illinois. Today there are active chapters at colleges from Xew York to California, and in 1930 the twenty-third chapter was organized. Sigma Chapter, at Carnegie Institute of Technology, was given its charter in 1923. At the present time there are eleven student members in Sigma chapter and also four electrical engineering faculty members. Student members are chosen from the junior and senior electrical engineering classes on the basis of high scholarship and general interest in the science of electricity. The first chapter of Eta Kappa Xu was then, as it is today, made up of men whose chosen work was the profession of electrical engineering. Through such organization, the members are inspired in their common interests, and the electrical engineering profession is thus l enefitcd as a whole. Eta Kappa Xu is very active on the Carnegie campus. The chapter has charge of the demonstrations in the Electrical Department on Exhibition Xight. Plans for this night include the setting up of the electrical apparatus and the assignment of students to the duty of tending to the demonstrations. Each year an Electrical Engineers’ Handbook is awarded jointly by the chapter with the Student I! ranch of The American Institute of Electrical Engineers to the outstanding sophomore electrical engineering Student, primarily on the basis of high scholarship. The installation and general supervision of the lighting effects at the Spring Carnival are carried out bv the members of Sigma Chapter. For the use of electrical engineering students the chapter maintains an Electrical Clubroom in Machinery Hall. Eta Kappa Xu cooperates with other honorarics on the campus in having meetings together and in holding the annual All-Engineering Honoraries Dance. The chapter holds initiation banquets during the year, and also regular business meetings several times a month. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Pi Alpha Delta OFFICERS: William A.

Pi Alpha Delta is the honorary fraternity in the Department of Printing of the College of Industries. This fraternity was organized in 11)21) and officially recognized by the student council in 1930. Since that time forty-three students of Printing have been initiated as members of the organization. Mr. Ilarry I,, (iage, of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, Professor David Gustafson, Head of the Department of Printing, and Fred .1. Hartman, of the I'nitcd Typothetac of America Department of education, have been initiated into the organization as honorary members. In November of 1932 Pi Alpha Delta took over the publication of Copy, the monthly magazine of the Department of Printing, as one of its activities. At this time. H. Murray Kline, who graduated from the Department of Printing in 1933, took the editorship of Copy for the school year 1932-33. 'Phis year Pi Alpha Delta has continued to supervise the publication with William A. Bostick as Kditor, Hubert M. DuBois as Associate Kditor. Charles Boyd as Production Manager; Ilenry Kroll. W. Bradley Kdcl-blut, and Fred 1). Frccdel, Editorial Staff’, and Shorev Allan and John V. Vitovskv the Production Staff. The magazine usually contains reviews of the lectures given by the Tvpothetae for the Printing Department, news of the alumni, briefs of current happenings in the Department, and general information about the printing and allied industries. A noteworthy activity which Pi Alpha Delta took upon itself this year was the exhibition of a collection of current German printing, initially brought into this country by the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Other exhibits which the organization hopes some day to be able to bring to the school arc the Fifty Books of the Year, Fifty Prints of the Year, and Printing for Commerce exhibits. Another achievement which Pi Alpha Delta hopes to accomplish in future years is the publication of a printer's handbook and text combined, for use of the students of the Department of Printing. The purpose of Pi Alpha Delta is to fittingly recognize and encourage scholastic achievement in the Department of Printing. Members arc chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, the selection being made upon the basis of scholarship, activity, personality, and initiative. Calls are made twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. An initiation banquet was held March IT, 1934, at the home of Professor Gustafson. The following men were initiated as members: F. II. Elliot, J. R. Hill, R. J. McFnrlin. 1). K. Rosemnn, and C. M. Wolfinger. As part of their pledge period these men compiled and printed a booklet containing the history of Pi Alpha Delta since its inception, the constitution and amendments of the organization, and a complete list of the members and their addresses.

Scarab is the honorary architectural fraternity in the Department of Fine Arts. Scarab Fraternity, to quote the constitution, “was organized in order to provide for attaining a broader knowledge of architecture and the allied arts, secure (through association) the advantages of a more refined culture, stimulate a greater expression through the graphic arts, promote friendly competition among the students and schools of architecture, and create a lasting spirit of fellowship and cooperation within the fraternity.” Membership to Scarab is limited to the “male of the species” studying Architecture, Architectural Engineering or Landscape Architecture; more specifically, the prospective member must have completed his first year in architectural design and be well along in the second year of his respective course of architectural study. The fraternity holds a sketching contest each year among its chapters throughout the country ; the mcm-liers submit a group or groups of sketches to the national chapter whose members then award prizes to the best of these groups, thus stimulating a national interest in architecture. Locally, Scarab offers a prize to any freshman architect for the licst solution of a particular problem during the year; this has been the custom of the chapter each year since its establishment. Following the example of older societies, guest speakers arc invited to luncheons sponsored by the Scarabs and held at regular intervals throughout the scholastic year, to familiarize the student with the problems and questions which arise in the actual practice of architecture. At these informal gatherings, open forum is held, in which the student is free to exchange his views and to ask questions of the professional man. Socially, the group does everything within its power to keep its members in the “Fraternal Bond”; a formal dance which is the climax of the Scarab initiation is held semi-annually, spaghetti dinners (shades of Francois Villon!) are held as often as financially possible, and the group meets every fortnight for a sketching party. The local chapter—Philae, bv name has, under the leadership of its presidents and officers (elected both for executive and artistic abilities), upheld the high standards of the Scarab Fraternity down to the present and promises to continue in strength through future years.

Tan Sigma Della is a National Honorary’ Fraternity in Architecture and the Allied Arts, maintaining active chapters in accredited schools and colleges of Architecture and Allied Arts. As its standards, it has the highest attainments in these fields. Its object is to unite in a firmer bond of friendship such students of Architecture and the Allied Arts whose marked ability, character and personality have made them worthy of distinction, and to foster and promote high standards in the school. It was founded at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on May fourteenth, nineteen hundred and thirteen, as an honorary fraternity in Architecture and landscape design, at the proposal of and under the direction of the faculty mcml ers of the two schools. It was first known as Tan Delta Sigma, and continued under that name until the fall of nineteen hundred and fourteen, when it was decided to change the name to the present one. II was the intention of the founders that the organization should be a national society, ns there was opportunity for its extension to other schools and universities. For four years the fraternity operated without nationalization, proving its worth before installing the second chapter, namely, Reta, at Minnesota, in nineteen hundred and seventeen. Since that time the fraternity has grown until at the present time there are chapters located at the University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of California, Ohio State University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, University of Pennsylvania, Illinois University, University of Liverpool, England, University of Washington. Iowa State College, and University of Southern California. Ganuna Chapter at Carnegie was admitted in the spring of nineteen hundred and nineteen, and now has a total of 122 members. The colors of Tau Sigma Delta arc gold and white. Its flower is the red rose. This organization as a fraternity docs not in any way participate in college politics, nor does it propose to he a secret society. Neither does it intend to Ik a social fraternity in the same sense that the other general or professional Greek letter college fraternities operate. Tau Sigma Delta does not discriminate in its selections as to sex, race, or creed. Neither does the financial, political, or social standing of any eligible student aid or prevent his filial selection to membership in the Fraternity.

On March second, Curnegie’s fraternity world donned “tuxes” and “tails” for the leading social event of a most successful social season, the Inter-Fraternity Ball. At the stroke of nine, the doorways to the Grand Ballroom of the William Penn Hotel were thrown open, and couple l v couple, Carnegie's four hundred Greeks swept away to the sparkling rhythm of Bcrnic Cummins and his .Yew Yorker band. Sub-zero weather and a screen of frost on the window panes served only as an inspiration to the brilliant orchestra heading northward from the warm sands of Florida. The gorgeous banners of twenty fraternities were bung about the balcony, beneath a flood of colored lights. The crystal chandeliers sent a rainbow of colored beams to every corner of the vast hall. Four hundred brilliant evening gowns offset bv formal black and snow-white linen lent the final touch to a picture that will long be remembered. At the entrance to the ballroom the guests received a favor-program novel to the Tech campus, a purse-size notebook whose first few pages were the program. The binding was in two colors of natural wood, bearing the Carnegie seal in bronze, and fastened with a matching leather thong. Many exclamations of feminine pleasure greeted the appearance of these grace- ful little favors, a charming memento of a charming occasion. The climax of the evening came with the Grand March, planned and directed by Paul V. Phenegcr, and Kdward O. Keese, who, with DcWolf Schatzel. formed the committee. The marching column formed in the foyer and the Adonis Boom, and marched into the ballroom to a medley of college songs. The procession was led by Veronica Kloos and DcWolf Schatzel, Marion Osborn and Bradley Kdelhlut, Jane Fuller and Shorey Allen, Mary W. Stewart and Samuel (’. Wicks. After winding about the ballroom, the marchers came down the floor in four columns until the stage was reached. Then, after the playing of “Dear Old Tech,” the dancing was resumed. Dancing was from nine until two, and was followed by some of the couples with a breakfast, as a fitting climax to the evening’s brilliant festivities. The ball was broadcast by the National Broadcasting Network, and the music reached every corner of the country, where alumni and friends sat listening. Every circumstance proved an added delight to make the dance even more successful than its long line of successful predecessors. As Bernie Cummins said when the ball began— they’re going home tired and happy. And they did. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR OFFICKHS: l)� :Wm.r Sciiatxki, Orchettra Chairman; Joiix , .

Military Ball The Milit ary Hull, which was the outstanding social event of the first semester’s campus activities, swept into impressive action at the sounding of “assembly,” on the evening of November 10,19BJ. The deployment of troops in sham battle continued actively to the strains of some very delightful music which was furnished bv the well known commander of chords, Art Kassels, and his detachment of “Kassels in the Air.” The battlefield was Thistle Hall, elaborately decorated to suit the occasion. The decorations consisted of immense flags, representing all of the leading nations of the world, which hung from the ceiling of the hall, and replicas of the shields of the various divisions in the t’nited States Army, which covered the walls. The lobby to Thistle Hall was fittingly decorated to represent an Army recruiting station. Kiltie difficulty was encountered in enlisting recruits, for the patriotic patrons turned out eil masse. Less trouble was met with, even, in getting the ranks onto the field of battle, for the attraction was irresistible. And so. in columns of twos, the skirmish continued for several happy hours. Promptly at twelve o’clock an armistice was signed, and the center of the field cleared bv a detachment of Scabbard and Blade members, who were the sponsors of the dance. Scabbard and Blade is the National Military Honorary. During the armistice the Honorary Cadet Officers, with corresponding officers of the regiment as escorts, moved to the front and center to receive their commissions, to the cheering of the surrounding corps. In this group were Jean Douglas and DeWolf Schnt- zel, Colonels and commanding officers of the regiment ; Elen Jane Bishop and Robert Eberle, Majors of the First Battalion; Virginia Art , and Charles Ackley, Majors of the Second Battalion; Evelyn Gamble and Charles Bayless, Captains of Company A; Helen Steiblc and Charles Merriman, Captains of Company B; Marion Osborn and John Ord, Captains of Company C; Leah Yocgtlv and John Hackney, Captains of Company 1); Virginia Cooper and Nelson Hart , Captains of Company E, and Madolin Yautrinot and Davison Irons, Captains of Company F. Immediately following the awarding of commissions to the commanding officers. Scabbard and Blade made its November call of Juniors and Seniors outstanding in the K.O.T.C. Regiment. The reception of the honors by the officers and recruits naturally flattered their vanities, and they became consumed in the resolution to attain greater victories. With a blaring of bugles and the call to arms, commands were given to resume battle, and the armistice was violated at the mutual consent of all. Glorious was the chivalry displayed, and mighty were the feats of bravery and skill enacted by the combatants. The magnificent encounter might have continued indefinitely, had the forces not run low on munitions and rations. A final armistice was signed, and the troops withdrew, happy for the experience of the conquest and the enrichment thereby gained, and content to call off the hostilities at the sounding of “taps.” CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Men's junior Prom OPFICKltS: Gi:iw«k Gik � biik:i:, Chairman; Wiiiiam Kkckei, 1 'ice-Chairman: Jkromk Hanson.

The Men’s Junior Prom was held in the rand ballroom of Hotel Schenlev on the Friday evening directly following the final examinations of the first semester. The music for this gala affair was furnished by Henry Biagini, well known builder of bands, and his orchestra, who supplied the dancers with dreamy waltzes and snappy fox trots from ten till two. 'Phe committee which was responsible for the success of the Prom consisted of members of Delta Skull, men’s junior honorary, and was headed bv George Good ridge, a member of Beta Theta Pi, social fraternity and a member of the varsity football team. Other members of the committee were: William Becker, vice-chairman; Clifford Dollowav, president of the Junior Class in the College of Industries; Fred Dubin. president of the Junior Class in the College of Engineering; Jerome Ilanson, chairman of ticket sales; Clarence Hays and Roger Burke, in charge of invitations and chaperones; Ernest Schleusener and Dudley Pendleton, in charge of publicity; J. Regis Joyce, William Spisak. Joseph Milan, John McKenzie and William Davis. Features which added to the gaity of the occasion were the vocal renderings of Bobby Godet, who was once called by Paul Whiteman the “Bard of Broadway”; the mastery of the marimbaphonc displayed by George Jean in many of the Biagini arrangements, and the grand march which, ln-cause of an oversight, was entirely omitted, much to the embarrassment of Bertrand Marlier, president of the Junior Class in the College of Fine Arts, to whom the honor of leading it was to go. Another feature of the Men’s Junior Prom was a ballot which was taken several weeks ahead of time to discover which orchestra was most popular among the students. Among the orchestras on the ballot were Hal Kemp, Emerson Gill, Henry Biagini, Dick Fid dler, Teddy Black, Kay Kaiser, Jan Garber, Bernie Cummins and others. 'Phe ballots showed that Emerson (iill was by far the most popular but, because he was already engaged for the evening, the committee found it necessary to turn to its next best bet, Henry Biagini. Biagini is especially well known in New ork where he has organized such bands as the Casa I.oma. the Cadillac Orchestra and the Studebaker Champions. The ballroom of Hotel Schenlev in which the Prom was held is one which is patterned after the mirror room of the Palais of Versailles. Its mirrored walls and crystal chandeliers, combined with the latest in indirect lighting, added that touch of grandeur that ensures the success of any formal. 'Phe lounging facilities of the whole hotel were turned over to the guests of the Prom, who could promenade through the spacious main lobbies or chat in the privacy of the ballroom foyer as they desired. 'Phe members of Delta Skull held their annual formal banquet on the eve of the Prom among the (lorn and fauna of the Schenley’s Spanish Patio Room. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Women's Junior Prom OFFICERS: Maroaret Harr, General Chairman; .Maudlin Vactkinot, Vice Chairman; Mar-daret Gruhn, Trtaturer; Jane Fuller, Treasurer—Arte College; Marcella Witiium, Secretary; Veronica Hums. Publicity; Mary Duncan, Oreheetra; Winifred Roremts, Program. On March 9, 1934 the Women's Junior Prom was held in the ballroom of the Schenlcy Hotel amid surroundings of maroon velvet, sparkling colors of spring fashions, and music of the host, supplied by Al Buhl and his popular twelve-piece orchestra. Festivities began at nine o’clock and lasted until one-thirty. At eleven o'clock the company assembled in the center of the ballroom, forming in line for the Grand March. Marcella Wilhuni, president of the junior class of Margaret Morrison College, led the march, accompanied by Mr. Joseph Bryan. Margaret Barr, Chairman of the Prom and vice-president of the junior class of Margaret Morrison College, with Mr. Frank Crusan; and Madolin Vau-trinot, vice-president of the junior class of the College of Fine Arts, with Mr. Richard Parry, followed at the head of the procession. Mr. Lee Nutter directed the march. At one o’clock the adjoining breakfast room was thrown open, ami a small breakfast was served to all who were present. It was as a result of whole-hearted cooperation on the part of the junior class and the persistence of the committee, that the Women’s Junior Prom was retained as the only strictly closed social function on the campus, and that a combination of the Men's and Women’s Junior Proms was avoided. On a greatly reduced budget a dance was held which not only was heartily enjoyed by more than one hundred couples who were in attendance, but which afforded a financial profit that justified the efforts of the class to keep the Women's Junior Prom a traditional function for the junior women of Margaret Morrison College and the College of Fine Arts. Patrons and patronesses of the Women's Junior Prom were President Thomas S. Baker; Miss Mary Watson Green; Dr. and Mrs. Charles Watkins; Mr. and Mr. A. W. Tarbell; and Mr. Glendinning Kccblc. Those who served as chaperones for the Prom are Miss Virginia Alexander, Rollin V. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Kirk-Patrick, Mr. F. Curtis Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lang, Miss F.leanor Gruver, Miss F.dith Winchester, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gregg. As a happy combination of practical swank, delightful and serviceable surroundings, exclusiveness, and da liveable music, the Women’s Junior Prom may certainly Ik- declared one of the year’s greatest social successes. As a financial proposition, the success of the dance should surely give assurance of its being managed bv the capable hands of the women alone, in future years also. Only under these conditions will the Women’s Junior Prom be able to completely and successfully serve its obvious purpose. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE: K. I).

The first regularly scheduled dance of the post-Christmas social season was the Sophomore Hop, which was held in Thistle Ilall on Friday evening, January 12. The music for this lmppy event was supplied by the well-known Jan Carlson and his orchestra, an excellent band brought from out. of town for this particular occasion. One of the high spots of the Sophomore Hop was the extremely unusual style of decoration, the theme of which was selected to interpret the atmosphere of a winter carnival. This idea the decoration committee carried out completely and with a touch of finesse which did much to make the dance a total success. In the very center of the dance floor there was placed a large tinseled edifice, reaching a height of about eight feet, which represented a frozen fountain. On the fountain there were played a number of multicolored spotlights from the ceiling of the hall, which created the dazzling appearance of iciness in the structure. Above the tinseled fountain was a large crystal ball, composed of many small pieces of octagonal mirror glass, on which several more spotlights were thrown. The reflecting surface of the ball cast many small points of light about the room in such a manner as to give the effect of falling snow (lakes throughout the hall. The orchestra was seated behind a structure which resembled a snow fort to further the scheme of decorations. The rest of the theme was accomplished by various spotlights which were focused in strategic positions to give the soft white and blue of a winter’s night. The climax of the evening's attractions at the Sophomore Hop was easily the snowball fight following the intermission. This unusual and surprising novelty added greatly to the enjoyment and happy abandon of the evening's activities. Directly after the intermission the orchestra swung into a merry interpretation of “Jingle Bells” and threw out hundreds of soft cotton snowballs onto the dance floor. A moment later the crowd had fully taken advantage of the opportunity and had expanded the spirit of the affair to the extent that a battle royal ensued for a long while, and though the dancers finally tired of the battle, the throwing of the soft missiles among the couples and the orchestra lasted until the end of the dance. The programs for the dance were distinctive in their printing and in their general form. The outside cover of the program was rendered in all lower case letters on a rich red suede. The novelty was handled completely in this manner of extreme modern design, the names of the chaperones, patrons, and committee members also being done in lower case letters. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR Freshman All-Carnegie OFFICF.KS: John K. Ciiai.iinoii, Chairman; Thomas Kokii i.kk, Chairman of Decoral ion ; James A. Stkwakt, Chairman of Publicity; Hurry Sciioknhkuo, Chairman of Refreshment . The Freshman All-Carnegie Dance given by the class of ’.‘{7 whs held on November 24, 1934, in Thistle Hall, from nine to one o’clock. The dance was the first social event for which the newcomers were entirely responsible. Much interest was taken by the committee in the work of decorating the hall. On the evening of the dance, one was decidedly impressed with the pleasing appearance of the low ceiling effected by many multi-colored balloons which were held in a net stretched over a wide area in the center of the floor. From each of the four corners of the room were directed several colored lights, blending into a dull, grayish blue in the center of the room. These streamed forth upon the gay couples and gave the scene added lightness. The committee in charge of the decorations was composed of Thomas Koehler, Chairman, and Heat rice Archer and Wilfred Slocum. The music for this first social event of the freshman class was furnished bv Joe Donley and his Virginians. Joe Donley is by no means new to Carnegie dancers. He has played many engagements at Thistle Hall, and last spring he entertained at one of the Campus Week dances. lie has played at many prominent dances in this section of the country; during the past winter he and his orchestra held forth weekly at Webster Hall. As a feature during the evening two students from the school of drama, Patti Littcll and William Hales, entertained the couples with two interesting dances. Later in the evening punch was served as refreshments for the dancers. One of the unique features of the dance was the attractively designed programs. They were orange in color, with a scene portraying the spirit of thanksgiving on the front. Gold colored pencils were attached to the programs by a black cord. The dance was advertised by large yellow posters which were placed on the bulletin boards and various other conspicuous places about the campus. The publicity committee consisting of Dorothy Taylor, Samuel Histlinc, and James A. Stuart, chairman, and the refreshment committee consisting of Mary W. Daub. Alplm Jane Hlack, Jeannette Paul, and Betty Sclioen-Ixrg, chairman, were in charge of the tickets. The dance was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Rollin V. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. II. K. Kirk Patrick, Miss Mary Hall, Mr. and Mrs. I). Gustafson, Miss Grace Sheriff, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pitkin; and the patrons invited were Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Jewett, Dr. and Mrs. W. X. Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Watkins, Dr. and Mrs. Roscoe Ihrig, Mary W. Green. Arthur W. Tarbell, and Mr. and Mrs. Alan Bright. John R. ('hallinor, president of Freshman Engineering class, was general chairman of the dance. All committees were made up of the class officers.

Festivities are scheduled for the second week-end in May. Coronation of the Campus Queen, elected by popular student vote, is a regal ceremony during the Coronation Hall on Thursday night. Sweepstakes preliminaries are held on Friday morning, and on Friday afternoon a student-wide celebration, taking form this year as a Country Fair, is held in the Carnegie Bowl. In the evening, a costume hall is held in the gymnasium and Thistle Hall. The sweepstakes finals are on Saturday morning, and in the afternoon, Call Day ceremonies are held and presided over by the President of Student Council. A student show climaxes the events of the Carnival, and the traditional welding of the link formally closes the celebration. Carnegie’s first Spring Carnival was instituted in May, 1020. The period of festivity was started principally to stimulate the interests of alumni in the school. 'Phis alumni celebration included Clean l p Day, School F.xhihition Night, and a bonfire on the athletic field; fraternity “open house,” an open-air play; a band concert; a circus on the athletic field, and a dance in the foyer of the Fine Arts building. In the Campus Week of 1022, the circus, formerly held in the Howl, was replaced by the Campus Week show, which is now given on Saturday night. The sweepstakes of today arc just as they used to be. One year, during the early days of the Carnival, it was required of each car that it enter the “pit during the race and change the left rear wheel to the right side, and vice versa. In October, 1027, the alumni voted in favor of a Campus Week exclusively for alumni. A short time later Student Council came out flatly “in the interests of those whom it represents,” and declared, “it is absolutely opposed to the removal of Campus Week from the student activities.” In 1028 there was no spring celebration on the campus. The Executive Committee of the school made a conciliatory offer to Student Council and was rejected. A campus queen and court were elected as usual, and they reigned for about two hours, while calls to honoraries were being made. The event was remarked as “a satire of former Campus Weeks.” Another trial was given the alumni type of Campus Week in 1020, but support and enthusiasm were lacking. In 1030 the students balloted overwhelmingly to guarantee a spring festival, the program of which would follow in general the programs of the old Campus Weeks with the omission of the interfrater-nitv migratory dance and the Campus Week vaudeville show. The name of the celebration was officially changed to the “Spring Carnival.” E'en though ice work a' day In’ mostly a night, too, IVe still ha time for rousin' fun sin nae time ’ be blue. Speaking of beauty naturally brings to our minds vivid images of the Carnegie Campus. Parts of the grounds of the college retain the natural charms of the sylvan glen. Such is the attractive setting for the little open English theatre, scene of much bestowing of honors on the undergraduates. 'Through the placid shade of the trees runs the path guiding the hurried steps of the students. At times of leisure, such surroundings supplement the busy life of the scholar with quiet and rest. But always the background is supplied with the purposeful substance of the classic architecture of the buildings. 'The steps to higher learning resound to the foot-falls of the serious-minded pupil, eager to learn, or eager at having learned. From building to building, from classroom to classroom, the hurrying students liven the living scene of their daily excursions. Everywhere is life, active or dormant. Whenever the hustle of meeting classes demands relief in its most attractive form, there arc spots such as the haven at the rear of the dormitories which offer recreational surroundings of unaffected beauty. Thus is the campus seen to be a community of activity and refuge, adaptable to the quickly varying moods of the student. Through it the life of the undergraduate is inspired and made pleasant. Such is the scene which greets the incoming student at the start of each year. Can one wonder that he is impressed! And equal is the impression received by the returning students, lint the effect of the initial experience is lost in the excitement which attends the occasion of the meeting of the two, and the subsequent introduction—Freshman Week! The newcomer is now duly impressed bv the greatness of the sophisticated soph, and hows low in the presence of his new master. We see the subdued frosh so overwhelmed in his emotions in acting on the command of his superior to execute a formal proposal of marriage, that he directs his expressions of affection to his master instead of to the maid! And what a rare sight are the antics of disciplined females! We see the freshmen girls lined up to take turns at cavorting to an impromptu rhumba, outfitted in uniforms suiting the dignity of the occasion, or clamoring together as if thronging a popular hot dog stand. Pointless, perhaps, but positive. Threatening will subdue the innocent girl, but not the spirited hoy, who is apt to rebel. And so we see the oldest method of persuasion in existence put to practical use. How efficient it is! But the play is soon done with, and the organized student body starts to cultivate the newcomer in earnest. Activity, the “V,” Cook’s Forest, and serious thinking and healthy recreation knit the bond of faith and good fellowship, between students and faculty alike. A purposeful picnic! And speaking of picnics, remember the Notre Dame holiday! That was a dish made to order. We may have suffered a little indigestion, but it was surely delectable while it lasted. I Oh, oh! Irish stew—The Commons—Irish stew! The busy students take time out for lunch like any other group of human beings, and what could Ik- more convenient than the practical sociability of The Commons. But there are those who must put their free time to studying and who therefore cannot linger over the luncheon table. We find them in the “V” club room, reading, comparing notes, writing. Don’t let them fool you, though, for the “Y” lends itself just as well to cards, chatting, and other quiet pastimes. And on a pleasant day, what could Ik more enjoyable than sitting on the bench beneath Arts, reclining on the lawn in the warmth of the sun, or walking aimlessly about the campus? There’s inspiration for friendship and jollity! Day after day the campus is entertained by the frolics of the Field House gang. Where it gets its inspiration, nobody ventures to guess. The boys arc original, to say the least. Here we see Colin, King of Cocoanuts, entertaining the chief perpetrator of mischief (the guv with the side-lmrns and hankie) and the well-known, dark-eved sportsman, who couldn’t keep his eyes off the camera. And, of course, the sophisticated have their favorite hide-outs, too. You find them in the Skibo at any time of day, playing at cards, passing the time of day with some acquaintance, and sometimes studying. The students find in these retreats a place secluded from the humdrum scramble for studies. The relaxation from the routine existence of student life which is offered by these havens is invaluable, and doubly so because of the intimacy resulting from the informal relations which exist lx tween the students who spend their free time there. AimI speaking of free time, social centers, and havens, reminds ns of balmv weather. Besides conjuring for us a picture of the campus in the spring bloom, it brings to our minds the several weeks of spring training which is indulged in by the football squad. Spring training was abolished for several seasons by the coaching staff, hut the practice was reinaugurated last year with the return to Carnegie of Howard Jlarpster, as coach. It is felt that by the addition of the several weeks of practice during the early spring to the program of the football team, it. would have just that much better hold on the mastery of the sport when the fall season took session. Spring athletics is naturally capped by the activity in the most interesting of sports fields, that of the track and field events. From the ancient times of the Greeks, running, jumping, and weight throwing have been recognized as the most graceful and romantic exercise of the human body. The competitive spirit which is reached in this major spring sport reaches a degree of fineness which is difficult to equal. Notice the poise displayed by the high-jumper, as he clears the bar at six feet. Perfect timing and complete muscular control arc paramount in the efforts of the accomplished high-jumper. Speed and power, and the ability to execute a perfect placement of feet in the take-off. are the requisites for a winner in the broad-jump. Concerted effort and coordination between runners make for the most beautiful of races, the relay. Consistency of effort, speed, and lightning control of the limbs is exhibited in the low- and high-hurdles. The pole-vault, as exercised by the master athlete, combines the qualities of timing, speed, and complete muscular coordination, not to mention the amount of sheer nerve and muscular development which is required to take the body over a bar set at more than twice the height of man. In the minds of all Carnegie students the climax to a year spent in Pittsburgh naturally comes in the spring; that the climax to a school year spent at Carnegie comes inevitably during Spring Carnival; and the climax to the Carnival activities is doubtlessly reached in the pushmohile sweepstakes. Fraternity interest and ambition yearly reaches a peak at this period, and the entire school thrills to the excitement of the traditional classic. As a depiction of pure racing instinct, and of the material expression of the organized spirit and effort which has nurtured the development of a champion, we see the winner of the sweep-stakes crossing the finish line, both feet of the pusher suspended in the air from the tremendous final drive of the buggy across the line towards establishing a record for speed which was to remain the record for two years. Beauty of line and mechanical exactness of construction won for another of the entries the Design Trophy, reward for the material expression of a long-nourished ideal. K«zz-ma-tazz, and “23 Skidoo!” Here’s a roguish city lass quietly seducing a much-flattered country lad into a bike trip through the park, decked out in their Sunday store-clothes, too! Careful, children, the roads are bumpy, and you’re liable to lose that Kelly. Just to prove the rumors that the Dean is handy with a shovel, we caught her in the act of dishing a load of dirt in the traditional activity of llu Mortar Boards, the Spring Tree Planting. The gala event of the I lev Day program calls for the united activity of all organizations separately and together. Many hours of labor and planning are put in by the groups entering the event. Additional time is required for the preparation and organization of the parade activities. Attention value is paramount in the parade. The throngs of people wait most patiently for the couple of hours that arc required to get the line of exhibits organized and in running order on the historical afternoon of the parade. But when the line of entries is finally in motion, the delay is well repaid, for the exhibition of humor, of art, and of the carnival spirit displayed in the floats and the activities of the entrants, provides a prolonged serial of entertainment of high degree. What a motley crew! Windmills, hearses, sculptured figures (breathing), the fiancee and consort of the world’s most popular screen idol, prehistoric creatures of immense dimensions an endless array of indescribable exhibits of artistic, crude, or nightmare-ish selection and rendering. The prize winning float was Queen Kong, monster of green sackcloth. baleful-eyed, and belching smoke from fiery nostrils, defiant in the faces of the spectators and the judging stand. The Senior-Alumni mushball game, annual occasion for much raillery and monkey-shining on the part of the two suposedlv most sedate bodies of men in the school, gives the campus the laugh of the year. The most dull of professors “come out” delightfully during the function, and display antics of unbelievably entertaining nature. The work-a-dav world is forgotten, and the two factions pit their skills and better natures one against the other. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Campus Queen Miss Ellen Jane Bishop, a senior in Margaret Morrison Carnegie College, was chosen Carnegie Campus Queen for the year of 1934. Miss Bishop has light brown hair, blue eyes, a charming, adaptable personality . . . and she loves to dance. Immediately after the announcement of the elections at the “Greek Sing and Swing” she assumed her duties by presenting the cup to the winning fraternity of the “Sing.” At the Coronation held on May 10th, our queen, attended by the members of her court, showed us just how royalty should act. Every occasion was brightened by the appearance of her royal highness. Misses Virginia Art , and Evelyn (ramble were her two charming Maids of Honor during the “Carnival Week” festivities.

Waddell resigned his post us football coach at Carnegie Institute of Technology, there was some speculation as to his successor—but not very much. Popular opinion was entirely in favor of Howard Harpster, who was then coach at Geneva College with Don Lovewell. Roth of these men had contributed much to the success of Carnegie teams in the past, Harpster being All-American quarterback in 1929, and both had given ample demonstration of their coaching ability while at Geneva. A glance at the score of the Tech-Geneva game in ’32 should dispel all doubts on that point. With this hack-ground there was but little to stand in the way of the selection, and after a few preliminary negotiations they were established at Carnegie. Thus began the new regime. With the new coaches came one of the most difficult schedules ever to have been encountered by a Carnegie team. Having to meet Notre Dame, Purdue, Pitt, and X.Y.U., Coaches Harpster and Lovewell set to work and started building a team that would be lit to cope with this “suicide schedule.” Spring training was re-inaugurated to Ik- followed by Training Camp late in August. The Harpster influence was immediately perceivable: the spirit of the team was excellent, the plays were clicking, and for the first time in years the team was actually blocking. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR The prominent feature of the Carnegie Tech football squad was its great defensive play. The coaches, realizing the difficulties to be encountered by a light squad, built up a great defensive team with an element of surprise in its offensive tactics. The forward pass, which lent itself completely to this type of attack. acted as the team’s “ace in the hole,” and succeeded in discomfiting not a few of America’s leading elevens. Flaying against the Warner coached Temple team in the season's opener, the Tartans furnished the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia papers with plenty of material for headlines. The widely heralded Warner system was turned back in spectacular fashion bv a Carnegie team at the very peak of its form. The Tartan line, led by Stewart and Hurzio, held a field day in the Owl’s bncktield, tossing the opposition for tremendous losses. Three out of five completed passes proved to he touchdowns. A fourth was scored by Terebus through the Temple line to make the score 25 to 0. Classed as an upset, this game gave promise of great things to come and left the Tartan fans on the edge of their seats. After their impressive win over the Temple eleven the team entered the Xavier game as top heavy favorite. Hated as the only set-up on the Tartan schedule, the Cincinnati team, however, refused to Ik treated as such and offered a stubborn resistance to the Carnegie ranks. After three quarters of scoreless battling they finally succumbed, .‘I to 0, when Captain Stewart booted a field goal in the last few minutes of play. Somewhat chastened by their rather poor showing the preceding Saturday, Captain Stewart and his mates entered the third game of the season—Notre Dame—with a wealth of determination. The result is history! The famed Ilarpster surprise attack clicked in the first three plays of the game, when, on the third play, Bcvevino passed to Ix wis for a touchdown. Score: 7 to 0. From then on the Tartans sat back on the defensive and defied their rivals to cross the goal. After Hurzio recovered Notre Dame’s fumble on the kickoff and Lewis made his sensational dash for a touchdown, the Ramblers shot everything they had— all to no avail. At no time did the Notre Dame attack function effectively. A great Carnegie line, led by Hurzio, resisted all onslaughts and stopped plays before they were started. Don Kiser, 215 pound fullback, furnished the only Notre Dame threat; but he, too, was successfully squelched. Resides furnishing the student body with its first football holiday in years, the victory put Carnegie into that select class of college teams that can boast three victories over the Irish. A great day for Tech, and a great day for Ilarpster. Hurzio, Carnegie guard, touched the heights of greatness in this, the best game of his career. Making CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Notre Dame thirty-nine out of forty-three tackles, “Bunny” established himself as a leading contender for a post on the All-American. In the Y. J. game the old jinx came through in grand style and halted the Tartan's winning streak. The Proxies, considered more or less as the underdogs. managed to run off with all the honors, but could do no better than a scoreless tie. At no time did the Plaid seriously threaten the Bed and Black goal line. 'I'he Carnegie defense, however, again demonstrated its mettle, and time after time halted the Proxies’ sustained drives. The Carnegie air attack which was so successful in past games, did not click against the Presidents, who had worked out a seemingly perfect pass defense. While the result of the game was far from satisfactory to the Tartan rooters, the end of the game still left the Techites unscored upon. Purdue, rated as the Tartans’ most powerful opponent, gave ample proof of their power by handing the Skibos their first defeat of the season. The game was characterized by long runs, intercepted passes, and sensational plays. It was a thriller from start to finish, and every customer got more than his money’s worth. 'I'lie most sensational run of the day was Carter’s ninety yard return of Tech’s kickoff in the second half. Joe Milan also provided the crowd with a thrill by intercepting u Purdue pass and running seventy-seven yards for Tech’s only touchdown. Besides their great show of power, the Boilermakers put up a marvelous defense. Tech’s great aerial threat, which resulted in scores against Temple and Notre Dame, was effectively smothered by the Purdue ranks. Stopped by the aerial route the Tartans (lashed a running attack which functioned better than it had all year. It did not, however, enable them to cross the Purdue goal line. The educated toe of Mr. Pardonner of Purdue contributed materially to the Skibos’ defeat. Stewart, Burzio. Milan, and Croft turned in stellar performances for the Plaid. Final score: 7 to 17. The team traveled all the way to Lansing, Michigan, for their battle with the Michigan State team and got no more than a draw for their trouble. The game was played under the most unfavorable conditions, snow licing piled two feet high along the sidelines. In spite of the slush, however, both teams were able to make substantial gains. The punting exhibited by both teams was exceptionally good. Joe Milan averaged forty-seven yards in fifteen punts, and pulled the'Par-tans out of more than one tough spot during the course of the afternoon. Both teams got within scoring distance several times: but, likewise, both teams seemed to lack the scoring punch. The outstanding Plaid player was Steve Tercbus, while Lewis, Stewart, and Burzio turned in their consistently good performances. Final score: 0 to 0. Entering the home stretch the Tartans engaged the NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Wash-Jeff Georgetown team in a rather uninteresting game. Since Georgetown's record for the season had not ! ccn of the best, the second team started and played practically the entire game. The Novas put up an effective if somewhat rough defense, hut could not cope with the Tartans’ forward passing attack. Carl son, Spencer, and Bowser each scored one touchdown apiece. A semi-riot was staged when rabid Georgetown rooters swarmed on the field at the end of the game and provided the only exciting moments of the afternoon. Final score: 1J) to 0. In their invasion of the N. Y. I ', stronghold the Tar tans again set forth to do battle with the New York ers' jinx. Out of eight starts against the Violets, the l’laid had emerged victorious hut once. A fine record for any jinx, considering the fact that the Tartans were the favorites practically every year. After the smoke of battle had cleared away the number of Plaid victories still stood at the grand total of one out of nine. The Tartans, who were again heavy favorites, outplayed the Violet team, but fumbles. penalties, and intercepted passes proved a fatal handicap. Neither of the teams showed to very good advantage, and except for the pass which resulted in N. Y. tVs score there was little impressive action. Tcrebus provided a few exciting moments making sizeable gains, but he was unable to get in the clear. Final score: 0 to 7. After the rather disappointing N. Y. t defeat the 'Parian rooters looked forward to a victory over Pitt on Thanksgiving Day. The fates were not so kind, however, and the annual classic again went to our rivals across the park. The Tartans, weakened bv the game just four days before, put up a good battle, but were no match for the stronger Panthers who won handily to the tune of 1( to 0. Burxio, whose line play had been a feature of the Tartan defense all year, was removed early in the game because of a back injury. Heinzer and Dreshar carried on capably, however. Milan's excellent punting also helped considerably in keeping the Plaid in the game. Quite a few of the Tartans donned Carnegie uniforms for the last time during the Thanksgiving game. Cap tain Stewart, end: Burzio. Dreshar and Ileinzer, guards: O’Toole, center; Forsman. tackle, and Sayles. Bevcvino and Brewer, backs, all played their last game for their Alma Mater.

The team was to have no scheduled games of their own. During the season, however, plans were altered somewhat and it was decided to see what the freshmen could do in actual competition. I’nder the able tutelage of “Hooks Sample, co-captain of the 1933 varsity, the plebcs made an enviable showing and gave promise of good material for next year’s varsity. The freshmen got off to a Hying start to defeat the Kiski team at Saltsburg, 7 to 0—the first victory against the prep schoolers since 1930. The plebcs scored in the first quarter by virtue of two long runs and a pass, and coasted in the rest of the way without further scoring. Lehman and Kopszak were the main cogs in the plcbc offensive. On November 7, the boys dropped in on the Indiana State Teachers College Homecoming and spoiled the fun by defeating the home team 7 to 0. The plebcs scored their only touchdown in the last few minutes of play on a series of neatly executed passes. A bit of excitement was provided earlier in the game when the freshmen held the Indiana Teachers on the one yard line for four consecutive downs. The plebe line quite outclassed the opposition, while Lehman, Kopszak, I.orenz, and Pat I played brilliantly in the back-field. In the third and final game of the season, the Tartan freshmen maintained their perfect record by defeating the Pitt freshmen. The game was played on a very muddy field and all the scoring was done in the first half. Long runs and passes were a feature of the game—all scores being made by this route. Kopszak and McGee were the scorers for Tech, while O’Neill scored Pitt’s only touchdown. Pinal score: 12 to ( .

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Varsity Basketball Carnegie's Varsity basketball season was one of surprises. upsets, and bad breaks tins year. Due to ineligibilities, which greatly weakened the team, and opposition from some of the strongest teams in the East, the season was. as a whole, not particularly successful. However, with all the breaks against him. Coach Max Mannum handled the situation very well, and did the best that could Ik- expected with the material available and under the circumstances which prevailed. The first upset of the season was the ineligibility of Captain Lou Jagnow, who was expected to do some of his greatest hall-playing this year, hut who failed to become eligible for action throughout the entire season. Consequently, (ieorge Silverman was elected to the vacant captaincy. The end of the first semester marked the reappearance of the ineligibility jinx. Both Ewalt, first string center, and Maealka, a member of lost year's PIcIr-squad, went out of play for the rest of the year. The results of the games played before the end of the first semester were rather encouraging, and a fairly successful season seemed probable. The team started out with a close win over West Virginia, in the opener, and followed with two defeats by Temple and Georgetown, losing bv very narrow margins. However, weakened by the loss of several of the best players on the squad, the remainder of the games were very poor. The team was further weakened by injuries and illness, and it lost games to teams which were not considered especially strong. The strongest teams met were the Pitt Panthers and the Dukes. These two outfits, together with Westminster, were considered the strongest floor squads in this section of the country. Next year Westminster will also 1h- included on the regular varsity schedule, along with Pitt, Duquesnc, and the other schools met during this past season. Those who won their varsity letters were George Silverman, Ted Rigg, W. Bradley Edelblut, Paul Gibson, Charles Spisak, Thurman Croft, l-’red Free-dcl, Frank Sanford, Steven Trbovich, and Carl Vohe, manager. Several of these players Spisak, Croft, Sanford, and Trbovich—were called in to play after the squad was depleted for the reasons described.

The squad was exceptionally strong and was made up of some very good players, who should Ik- quite an asset to the Varsity during the next year’s season. Coached by capable men. they played well together, and managed to win almost all of their games without much trouble. The 1'lcbes had a divided but still very capable coaching staff. During the first part of the season thev were under the tutelage of William Sample, one of the Co-Captains of the 1932 football team, who also served as assistant freshman football coach last fall. After the end of the first half of the school year. .Mr. Sample was unable to continue to act as their mentor, and they came under the direction of Johnny F.walt, who had become ineligible to play varsity ball. Either other freshmen teams or teams from local city high schools were those on the schedule for the year. All the teams put up good opposition, but the 1’lcbes were able to win all but three of their games. The strongest of all the outfits met were the freshmen of Duqucsnc and the I Diversity of Pittsburgh. Our freshmen lost both of the encounters with the Panther Cubs, but both were bv exceptionally narrow margins, losing the first by the score of 20 to 23, and the second by the very close tally of 41 to 40. In their meetings with the Duqucsnc l’rosh. the 1’lebes broke even, winning one ami losing the other. Some of the outstanding players on the squad were Felser, James, Kritseller, Patt, and Fitzwilson. Of these, James and Kritschcr were also numerals men on the Plcbe football squad. Charley Fitzwilson was the only victim of the ineligibility jinx on the Plcbe squad, and he later on in the year became a member of the P.A.A. track squad, since lie could not conqiete for Tech. Another member of the team, Wilfred Swinner, proved himself to Ik- an asset to the Freshmen track squad. Other men who won their numerals were Leslie Sliomo, Robert Fitzwilson, Cyril Daugherty, Wayne Heston, Robert Aaron, and .Manager Milton Brandwinc.

In spite of this unimpressive record the team displayed more promise than it has for several years past, for the simple fact that it was hotter balanced. Previously the trouble has been that there were two or three stars who took five first places, and nobody to take the seconds and thirds to cinch the competition. However, this year also had its stars, in Hover, Von dor Lancken, and Holiday, who could Ik dcjiendcd upon to score in the 150 back-stroke, the ‘200 breast, and the middle distance freestyle respectively. Though these were the outstanding performers, good second and third place men could occasionally capture a first to add up the points were found in Dorcdyn and LaChancc in the sprints, Leavitt and Charles in the middle distances. Culler in the breaststroke, and Holiday in the backstroke with Boutelle scoring occasionally. Credit should also be given the divers, Preston living one of the liest that the school has ever had and Bright following up his good work. The team that competed this season suffered greatly from inexperience, since most of the team members were sophomores who were swimming their events for the first time in any competition. Only I.aChance and Boyer will Ik missing from the starting lineup next year because of graduation, and the team, with more experience and able freshmen to strengthen it. should show up rather well. 'Pile first meet of the season was with Pitt. The 'Par-tans lost 18 to 23, living hopelessly outclassed by the more experienced opposition. In the meet with the University of Delaware, Carnegie was forced to swim the old order of events which gave our opponents a decided advantage in the free-style events. They took advantage of their break to clean up in the free-style events to win, 36 to 23. Against Franklin and Marshall. the Chalmers brothers on the Lancaster team shoved their team forward to victory by cleaning up in every race they entered to take the meet 39 to 32. On their Cleveland trip the nators suffered their fourth defeat at the hands of the Case School’s team, the Tartans finding themselves at a decided disadvantage in the short pool that the meet was held in. However, the next day the Tartans came back to walk away with the Western Reserve meet to the tunc of 50 t � 25. RECORD Carnegie . . . . 23 Pitt 18 Carnegie . 23 Delaware .... 36 Carnegie . 32 F.

The weather kept both the runners and the track from getting into tiptop shape, and the rains caused the cancellation of the V. J. and Geneva meets. Outstanding in this track campaign was Captain Tom Coulter, holder of many school records, who participated in the hurdles, the dashes, and occasionally the broad jump, and usually managed to accumulate about 15 points per meet. Shorey Allan and Hob Schell, captain elect and excaptain respectively, were the star distance men. Schell was especially valuable, for he had a way of “coming through” in the last stages of the race to snatch thrilling victories. Norm Brown, Carl Foreman and Ed Stentz took care of the weight events. Brown, though only a sophomore, was especially proficient with the shot. Foreman’s best event was the discus and Stentz handled both the javelin and discus in creditable fashion. Art Perina, another sophomore, aided Captain Coulter considerably in the dashes. Charley Fritz, also in his first varsity year, was the mainstay pole-vaulter and should develop into a real star. John F.walt was recruited from the basketball team in answer to the call for highjumpers and turned out to be a real point-getter. Two other sophomores (there were ten first year men on the 1933 squad, who scored points) who were an extremely important part of the cinder team were Hill Allen and Frank Giolma. Allen, a transfer from Illinois University, stepped over the high hurdles in championship form. Giolnm rapidly developed into a crack quarter-miler and thus relieved this responsibility from Coulter’s hands. Two of the most important happenings of the season centered about another sophomore, Rodger Burke. In the Pitt meet, Burke ran under ideal conditions and broke the school record in the 880 yard run, when he traversed the distance in 1 :59.9. The second incident was the election of Burke as captain for the ’34 season. At this same meeting, Joe Adams was appointed to succeed Joe Bronson as track manager. The season o| cnod with the annual practise meet against the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. The “old men” weren’t so good on the cinders but were more than a match for the green Tartan weight team and walked off with a close 70 to (54 victory. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Varsity Cross- Country Carnegie defeated Western Reserve, 84 2 3 to 58 1 3 in the first official meet of the year. Captain Coulter of course was the leading scorer, but it was the untried sophomores who came through in great shape and cinched the meet. Pitt was too strong for the Skibos and won by a score of i); t« 40. Tartan rooters gained some measure of satisfaction from the winning efforts of Hurkc in the half mile; Coulter in the 220; Kwall in the high jump, and Rill Allen in the high hurdles. The linal contest of the season brought a victory to Carnegie over an old rival, drove City, by a 71 Vi to 0314 margin. Prospects for the ’34 season look bright as only three Letter men. Coulter, Stent and Stankev were lost. The replacement of Coulter, however, will be quite a difficult problem as the big Canuck is without a doubt one of the greatest trackmen ever to have carried the Plaid in cinder competition.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Alpha Tau Omega pipv JLlIKKK arc several features of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity which distinguish it from the others established at the various colleges throughout the country. Founded in 18(55 by lion. Krskin Mayo Ross, (’apt. Alfred Marshall, and Rev. Otis Allen Gluzcbrook. Alpha Tau Omega has prospered until there are now ninety-five active chapters throughout the country with a membership of over thirty-thousand men. Alpha Tau Omega differs from other fraternities in that it was conceived from the start by Rev. Glaze!)rook to he a national rather than a local fraternity. It was not founded in opposition to any other fraternity but was the first Greek fraternity at the Virginia Military Institute. Rev. (ila ebrook. then a young man and an idealist, thought of brotherhood only in terms of Christian love and set down as one of the main theories the necessity of permanent peace and abiding brotherhood throughout the nation. The second chapter was founded at Washington and I.ee College, then Washington College, by ('apt. Alfred Marshall on November 18, 18(55. Expansion north, east, and west, having lagged for a few years after 18(55 because of the bitter feel ings between the north and the south, soon moved forward at a rapid pace. Chapters were established at the CDiversity of Virginia, Trinity College (Duke University), Bethel College and East Tennessee (l’niversity of Tennessee). However, the first real expansion northward came about largely through the help of I)r. Edgar F. Smith who was then a professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Smith, having read an article in the Palm, the magazine of Alpha Tau Omega, exchanged articles with Joseph Anderson, its editor. Dr. Smith was quick to recognize that a southern fraternity needed help in its attempt to expand northward, where feeling against the south was still very antagonistic. Through his efforts. Pennsylvania Tau of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity was founded at his school on April 8, 1881. Northward expansion hud begun and the time was ripe for much advancement. Chapters at Muhlcn berg, Lehigh, and Washington and Jefferson College soon followed in quick succession. On January 10. 1870. Alpha Tau Omega was granted a charter and thus became the first incorporated fraternity which was known as the “Alpha 'Pan Omega Fraternity of Baltimore City.” This example was soon followed by other leading fraternities until today almost all of the national fraternities are incorporated. At Carnegie two local chapters petitioned Alpha Tau Omega at about the same time. Not wishing to play favorites to any one of the locals they combined these two into one local. The old locals were known as the Xi Sigma Epsilon and the Delta Epsilon Omega fraternities. These were combined into one lo cal under the name of Delta Xi. This chapter then petitioned and in the year of 11)28 obtained a charter and were from then on designated at the Delta Pi Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega. Herbert Mocrsfeldcr was elected the first Worthy Master of the new chapter. From this time on Delta Pi took a strong place among the nationals on the campus. The members of the local chapter have been verv active in campus organizations. Their greatest efforts have been in publications work. The V. M. C. A. movements, and student and fraternal government have also given them opportunities to keep active on the campus.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Beta Theta Pi On AUGUST 8, 1839, at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, the first meeting of Beta Theta I’i, the first fraternity to be originated west of the Allegheny Mountains, was held. In the early days of the fraternity, expansion was slow because of the anti-secret society laws then present in many of the schools. During the Civil War the activities of all of the southern chapters were suspended. With the passage of years, however, the size of the fraternity grew, until at the present time there are eighty-seven active chapters with a total membership of thirty-four thousand one hundred men. All of the chapters own their houses with the exception of five. The total valuation of all property owned bv the fraternity amounts to three million five hundred thousand dollars. Beta Alumni associations exist in many of the principal cities of the country. They have the right to a representation in the conventions, but have no power to make initiations. The magazine of the fraternity was first issued December 15, 187 2. and has been published continuously since. It began as a monthly, and is now a monthly, but at times has appeared as a quarterly and bi-monthly. Commencing in 1891 the fraternity has issued annually in a special number of its magazine a report of its officers and chapters and a complete list of the active undergraduate memljcrs. Another special number contains the complete, detailed minutes of the general convention. In 1919 two endowment funds were established. The Baird Fund, designed primarily as a magazine endowment fund, receives ten dollars as a membership fee from each initiate, alumni being eligible upon the same terms the magazine being furnished for life. The Founders Fund is for general purposes of the fraternity. The Parnmlee Fund was established in 1929 by William B. Parnmlee for the purpose of making loans to members, to enable them to complete their college work. The Carnegie chapter became a unit in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity after it had existed for several years as a local organization. Early in Carnegie history a number of students became much interested in forming a social club. To get the society started was slow and required much work of the early members. The society rapidly grew until the members of the group were able to move into a house of their own. This house is located at the corner of Forbes and Beeler Streets. While the organization was still young the members decided to name it the Slide Huh-Club, as all of the memliers were engineers. This name was used for some time until the organization moved into a house of its own. At that time, it was decided that a more impressive and dignified name should be used. So. with all due respects to the Slide Rule Club, the name of the new local was changed to Sigma Kho. the Greek letters Sigma and Rho being the initials for Slide Rule. Early in the year 1919 the members of the local, having realized the advantages of a national organization, petitioned the general convention of Beta Theta Pi for admittance. Earl} the following year, in 1920. the Sigma Uho local was accepted as a chapter of Beta Theta Pi. As soon as the petition was accepted, the present house on Forbes street was obtained. As a result of much earnest work by the new members, the house was put into ideal condition. With passing years the members have altered ami added to the house, until now it little resembles the private residence it once was. «! • NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Gamma Iota (ininnm Iota Chapter of Beta Theta Pi, installed at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1920.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Beta Sigma Rho j l.CCI1)KNT plays so large a part in human existence that it can cause no surprise when its effect is found in the development of Beta Sigma Rho. Organized originally as a local fraternity at Cornell University in 1910, under the name of Beta Samach, it has grown into a national fraternity after many changes of purposes, ideals, and even a change of name. Beta Samach, in its first few years, had no written constitution or ritual. The only conventions of this kind were the name, then without meaning, a pin, to which no significance was attached, and an understanding that the fraternity was to be restricted to men acceptable to all members. There were no dues or initiation fees, all expenses being paid by special assessments. There were no formulated ideals except the general contention to bind Jewish men of good personality, no matter how poor in purse, into a fraternity, so that their force could be felt in campus life and so that they could enjoy each other’s friendship to better advantage. The ideal of scholarship arose as a tradition merely because the more prominent of the men were exceptional students. The stress upon Judaism also arose out of a common characteristic and not from an expressed ideal. After the first year of existence it became increasingly evident that the mere banding together of men did not make a fraternity. It was found that money was a vital consideration in fraternity existence and it was decided to levy dues of ten cents per month upon each meml er. Trivial as this may seem, the amendment was important, for the money required began increasing, so that the original ideal of a fraternity ojk u to even the poorest among the students had to Ik- abandoned. Thus accidents played an important part in the growth of Beta Samach. Only the common traits of its members gave it tradition and ideals; only the force of competition gave it a written ritual which formally expressed purpose; and finally, only the requirements of a few dollars per annum changed the fundamental principle of “no dues.” The next vital change came with the acquisition of a fraternity house. It was then that Beta Samach decided to nationalize. Without funds, without guidance, Beta Scmach decided that its benefits were sufficiently apparent to warrant efforts for nationalization. The fundamentals ln-ing complete. Beta Samach became in conception a national fraternity conforming to type. During 1920 many of the members felt that a name more in keeping with the “all-Greek tradition” followed on the American campus, should Ik adopted. Beta Samach was thus changed to Beta Sigma Rho. Zeta Chapter at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, was originally a local fraternity known as Alpha Pi. In 1922 it became affiliated with the national organization. Since its inception it has continually strived to make itself a vital factor on the Carnegie Campus. As a group and as individuals its members have taken part in all phases of Carnegie life. Entering all intramural contests its teams, while seldom In-ing of championship calibre, nevertheless made consistent good showings. Its members have en tered campus activities conscientiously and vigorously, holding important positions on the publications and on various Varsity teams. In keeping with the ideals of the national organization the stress on scholarship has been strongly enunciated, with the consequent result that Beta Sigma Rho has led the campus for the last nine consecutive semesters.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Delta Tau Delta T.i GAMMA PHI, the original local fraternity from which Delta Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was formed, was founded in 11)15 by twenty members of the Engineering School. These men were all of high standing, both scholastically and actively, on the Carnegie campus. These men, in conscientious determination, believed that there was room for more good fraternities here. The following year the membership was increased to include men from all three schools of the Institute. At this time a house was rented on Baum Boulevard and the appointments of Tau Gamma Phi became complete. The progress of the fraternity was not phenomenal, but it was steady and certain. Great care was exercised in selecting pledges, quality, not quantity, being the dominating factor. Almost immediately entrance to the inter-fraternity council was obtained. In the spring of 1919 Tau Gamma Phi petitioned for admittance to Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and, after four petitions, was granted the charter for Delta Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta in 1923. The Carnegie Chapter has had as eventful and progressive a history as has the national fraternity. It has mounted steadily to a position of importance and respect in the fraternity life at Carnegie. Delta Beta Chapter has forty-seven members who serve to represent it in all the school activities. The first residence of the fraternity was on Baum Boulevard from whence it moved to Forbes Street, near the Bureau of Mines, where it received the charter for Delta Tau Delta in 1923. The year 1927 found the fraternity in its present shelter at (530 Clyde Street. The Arch Chapter is our governing council and is composed of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, secretary of the alumni, and a supervisor of scholarship. These men are elected bv the general biennial convention of the fraternity, known as the Karnca. There are also four presidents of the four geographical sections of the country. One of the outstanding motives of the fraternity is its sincere effort to maintain high scholarship. In 1924 the office of Supervisor of Scholarship was created, the first office of this type to become a part of the governing body of a college social fraternity. The only duty of this officer is to keep in close contact with our seventy-five chapters and to inspire and create the highest scholastic averages possible. The Diamond Anniversary of our fraternity is marked as May 12, 1934. The national fraternity, in memory of its founding and growth, is planning a pilgrimage to Bethany College to commemorate the fraternity's nativity. The year 1934 has been a year of jubilee; and throughout the country the fraternity has been holding conventions among the alumni and undergraduate chapters. These memorable seventy-live years of our existence have brought developments which are sincerely believed to be unsurpassed by any other such organization. One of the sources of pride in the hearts of all Delts is the national organization. Other than the Arch Chapter officers previously mentioned there are three full-time traveling secretaries who devote their entire time to visiting the Dclt Chapters. These secretaries are paid to promote the Chapters and assist them in all their undertakings. It is due to these men and their ability that we are able to properly maintain and keep on a high standard our seventy-five undergraduate chapters with an active meml crship of over 24,000.

Organized and known as an anti-secret brotherhood. Delta Upsilon opposed the secret groups, and was joined hv similar groups in other colleges. L«t er organization of these groups led to the forming of a national group first known as the Equitable Fraternity. The original group consisted of seven chapters. In 1851 the group was incorporated, and at this time the name Delta I’psilon was chosen. Expansion was rapid up until the beginning of the new century. After 1900 the requirements for a charter became much more strict, the Fraternity adopting a conservative policy which it has carried out since that time. This policy has aided in maintaining the high standards of the national Fraternity, and the record of no inactive chapters also speaks in favor of the plan. Since its adoption, however, expansion has been carried on until at the present time the chapters number fifty-nine. The alumni organization is directed by a graduate board, and under the guidance of this board alumni groups have been established in all parts of the country. Most of these groups hold weekly luncheons, and are active in promoting the welfare of the undergraduate chapters around their localities. The Williams Chapter first started a publication in 1887. it being a catalog under the name of Social Fraternity. Since then the various chapters have continued to publish news bulletins and directories of chapter members, and at the present time, an annual prize is offered for the last chapter paper. Concurrent with the chapter papers is the Delta I'psilon Quarterly, the organ of the national fraternity. This was first issued by the Amherst Chapter in 1882, and two years later was taken over by the national fraternity. Uv this publication the chapters are kept informed about the activities of each other and of the alumni. Other publications of the national fraternity include a song book, a manual, and the Delta Upsilon annual. The history of the Carnegie Chapter of Delta Upsilon has been as interesting as that ot the national group. Originally a part of the old Woodlawn Club, now extinct, a local fraternity. Sigma Tan, was formed with the purpose of petitioning Delta Upsilon. In 1917 a charter was granted Sigma Tan. and it became the Carnegie Chapter. The Carnegie Chapter has endeavored to maintain the high standards of the national fraternity, and has been at least partially successful. The Chap ter has promoted the idea of activities among its members. The Chapter’s members have taken part in every activity on the campus. In the intramural sports field Delta Upsilon always tries to b? represented, as in the other interfraternity contests. Doling the history of the Chapter the group has been well balanced. The Carnegie Chapter of Delta Upsilon at present has an alumni list of three hundred men. These alumni, organized as the Carnegie Delta Upsilon Association, own the house in which the Chapter is located. Many of these alumni are young men not long gone from Tech, and their knowledge of present campus conditions prepares them especially to cope with the problems which confront the Chapter. Thus the aims of Delta Upsilon are attained, not merely to foster brotherhood for the four college years, but to carry it on into the world, always trying to live to the motto, “Justice Our Foundation.’’ NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Carnegie Carnegie Chapter of Delta I'psilon, installed at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1917.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Kappa Sigma HE KAPPA SIGMA fraternity was founded at the University of Virginia, December 10. 18(55), by William Grigsby McCormick, George Miles Arnold. Edmund Law Rogers, Frank Courtney Xicodemus ami John Covert Boyd. At that time there were chapters of about a dozen fraternities at Virginia and the system was in a flourishing state. Opportunity to become associated with some of these fraternities was not denied the founders of Kappa Sigma, but as McCormick, Rogers and Xicodemus, who lived in Baltimore, were close personal friends before entering the University, they wanted to Ik- together and therefore concluded to found a new fraternity. So intimate were the relations Ik tween these three and Arnold and Boyd, who were associated with them, that they have always been known in the fraternity as “the five friends and brothers.” Kappa Sigma is the only fraternity which bases its ritual, its customs, and to some extent its ideals, upon the revival of learning in Europe in the middle ages. Traditionally, the fraternity is a continuation of a student secret order prominent during the Renaissance. From the inception of the organization in America it was intended that the fraternity should expand into other institutions and become a widespread organization. Today it ranks second to none, having a total of 108 chapters in colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Xinctv-five of the chapter houses are owned by the fraternity. The total initiated membership is approximately 33,000. Kappa Sigma publications may lx compnred favorably with those of any fraternity. The Cotlueeus of Kappa Sigma is the monthly magazine for pledges and brothers. The Star and Crescent is a secret publication for members and officers only. The Kappa Sigma Hank is a volume of general information aland the organization and dealing to some extent with the fraternity’s European background. The history of the Carnegie Tech Chapter of Kappa Sigma dates to 15)13. Early in that year, when there were as yet no chapters of national fraternities on the campus, ten men who were active in campus affairs established a club known then as the Booster's Club. The name was soon changed to Ophclcum, and the rating of a local fraternity was assumed. A house opposite the present house was occupied in 15)14. The war left the growing organization l� eggarcd but not in the least discouraged; and an informal petition was addressed to Kappa Sigma in November 15)15). A formal ]K tition followed in May, 1920. Officers and chapters made due investigation and were well pleased, while several Kappa Sigma transfers to Tech gravitated naturally to the Ophclcum house. On April 12 and 13, 15)21, the Ophclcum fraternity was installed as the Delta Alpha Chapter of Kappa Sigma. In April. 15)23, the chapter and the alumni took advantage of the offer of an excellent piece of property which was being sold in order to settle an estate, and purchased the present house at (524 Clyde Street. Kappa Sigma is one of the few fraternities on the Tech campus owning their own home, and the house itself leaves nothing to be desired for the needs of an urban chapter. Kappa Sigma has always l ecn active in extracurricular activities on the Carnegie campus. At present, it is represented largely in football, basketball, publications, scholastic honoraries, class hon-orarics, and class offices.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pi Kappa Alpha Tk,. national social fraternity, l'i Kappa Alpha, was founded at the University of Vir ginia, on the first of .March. 18(i.S. and now has 71) chapters distributed over the country. Pi Kappa Alpha made its appearance on the Carnegie campus in 1921. when the local fraternity, Zeta Delta, was initiated as the Beta Sigma Chapter. For four decades Pi Kappa Alpha was strictly a southern fraternity, hut expansion into the West caused the removal of territorial restrictions, allowing the fraternity to embrace a nation-wide field. Within a few years chapters were planted in every portion of the country. At the last convention it was decided to make Pi Kappa Alpha international in character and permission to expand into Canada was granted. The purpose of Pi Kappa Alpha membership is to foster and instill among its members a strong bond of friendship and affection, encouraging scholarship and activity in all branches of college life. The national publication. The Shield ami Diamond, is published quarterly, and the local chapter publishes the Scotch Xexcs. The colors of the fraternity are garnet and gold, and the flower is the Lily of the Valley. One of the outstanding events of the year was the installation of a chapter at the University of Pittsburgh. Omega Delta, a local at the University of Pittsburgh, which had petitioned the national council of Pi Kappa Alpha for admission, received its charter and was initiated as the Gamma Sigma Chapter on the third of March. The installation banquet of the new chapter was held at the University Club in conjunction with the annual Founders Day banquet. • The current social season was officially opened with the annual Homecoming Dance given for the alumni of the chapter on the night of the Notre Dame game. The season was continued with several informal radio dances called by Roger Burke, the Social Chairman. Hushing week ushered in the annual Hard Times Party with everyone dressing their worst and yet trying to look their best. After Christmas came the Scavenger Hunt, with its frantic search for manhole covers, black cats, and other sundry articles. The winter season was climaxed by the famous Kid Party. A run on the diaper market was forecasted but only Gravy Powell had what it took to finally appear in them. Nevertheless, everyone had a rollicking good time. Crowning the social season was the Spring Formal, held in one of Pittsburgh’s exclusive country clubs. No dimmer than our bright social season has been our activity and leadership on the campus. The Puppet started the year with John Fox as Business Manager and Wallv Hamilton as Advertising Manager. Football season was ushered in by Bill Sharp swinging the battered baton down the field and over the goal posts. As the R. (). T. C. comes marching down the field, we see Senior Company Captain Rayless, Lieutenants Fox. Parker and Carr. Johnny Kwalt, Joe Macalka, and Harold Jacques led out the Varsity basketball squad. Captain Burke paced the track team this year with “Quarter Mile” Carr and “Half Mile” Walter coming fast on his heels. Hon-oraries, both class and scholarship, have their quota of the men who wear the Shield and Diamond. When the semester scholarship list was published Pi Kappa Alpha ranked high among the fraternities, being rated sixth. Six men on the honor roll have helped to raise our average.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Alpha Sigma Phi Aj.PHA SIGMA PHI was founded at Vale College on December . 1845, ns a sophomore society, by Lewis Manigault, with whom were associated S. Orinsbv Hliea and Horace Spangler Weiser. The organization as a class society was due to the system then in effect at Vale, Amherst, and a few other eastern colleges. The founders perfected their plans during the spring, and announced the existence of the society on June 24. 1846, when the first delegation, composed of members of the class of 49, was elected. In the years following, the Beta and Gamma chapters were founded at Harvard and Amherst respectively. In 1860 the Delta Chapter was founded at Marietta College, and it was this chapter that carried the organization through the next few years. The Alpha and Beta chapters, due to a university ruling against all fraternities, were disbanded shortly after the installation of Delta chapter. This state of affairs remained until 1907, when a group of five men at Vale determined to seek permission from Delta to reorganize the Alpha. This was granted, and the revived Alpha was set up as a university society at Vale. A national organization was perfected, and a new period of expansion begun. At present there arc thirty-two active chapters of the fraternity. All are general in nature except the one at Yale, which recently liecame a junior fraternity in accordance with the class system. As frequently happened in the case of fraternities founded in the early years of the fraternity system. the government of Alpha Sigma Phi was vested in the parent chapter. With the reorganization of the fraternity in 1907, the parent chapter plan was abolished, and in its stead the more modern convention system was established. The first convention was held in Marietta in 1907, and yearly conventions were held up to 1913, when the biennial plan was adopted. A grand prudential committee has executive power in the interim between conventions, and operates through its executive secretary. The badge of the old sophomore society was a rectangular slab, originally about an inch long, which displayed a shield bearing an open book engraved with hieroglyphics, beneath which appeared the letters Alpha, Sigma, and Phi. The present badge is of the same design, but smaller. The colors are cardinal and gray, and the flower the cardinal rose. In addition there is an official flag, wall plaque, and pledge-button. The latter is gold, cardinal, and gray. All insignia are distributed by the grand prudential committee, and arc protected by copyright, registration, or common law. Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi was established at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1925, taking the place of the local fraternity. Iota Sigma Delta. Since that time the chapter has greatly developed and expanded. Its men are represented in all phases of campus life. It has men in Tau Beta I i, Scabbard and Blade, Theta Tau, Phi Kappi Phi, and Eta Kappa Xu. At no time in recent years has the chapter fallen below third place in scholarship standing, as compared to chapters of other national fraternities on the campus. It also has men in athletics, and holds several managerships. It is represented in both the Band and the Glee Club. It is prominent in Intramural Sports, having won its league in basketball last year, and being runners up this year.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Sigma Nu l’ Fraternity was founded at Virginia Military Institute at Lexington. ir-ginia.on January 1.18(59. It was in the years directly following the Civil War, when numerous fraternal organizations were coming to the fore in collegiate life, that its founders, James F. Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James M. Rilcv, proposed a fellowship of men which later became known as tlu Sigma Nu Fraternity, and recognition of Alpha Chapter at Virginia Military Institute was shortly followed by chapters at the Universities of Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Betlmny. Sigma Nu has grown rapidly from this humble and courageous beginning until today there arc ninety-eight active chapters distributed over the entire United States. The “Creed of Sigma Nu,” as written bv Walter J. Sears, gives a clear understanding of the ideals of its founders and the objects of its members: “To Ik -lievc in the life of love, to walk in the way of honor, to serve in the light of truth—this is the Life, the Way, and the Light of Sigma Xuism—this is the creed of our fraternity.” The White Rose has been chosen as the flower of our fraternity and this symbol is worn once each year at the annual memorial services. Sigma Nu’s colors arc Black, White, and Gold and these colors are repeated in the Badge of Sigma Nu. The badge itself is a wonderful piece of ingenious and skillful effort and many popular jewelers consider it the most representative of fraternity jewelry. The national fraternity publishes quarterly a cleverly edited magazine known as The Delta. This publication contains items of interest to every Sigma Xu—articles on prominent Sigma Xu graduates, alumni news, happenings in other active collegiate chapters, and news of general interest. Originally, the Sigma Xu chapter on the Carnegie Tech campus was known as Beta Theta Epsilon, a local fraternity founded here in 1906, one year after the founding of the school. After a worthy reputation had been earned, this organization petitioned Sigma Xu for membership, was accepted, and finally installed as Delta Sigma Chapter in 1916. Two years previous to this Beta Theta Epsilon had bought the present Sigma Xu house on Forbes Street, diicc11 across from the “Cut,” and it is in this worthy building that Delta Sigma’s members live. From the time of its installation to the present time. Sigma Nu has been prominent in the development of Carnegie Tech as a school noted for something other than purely its technical accomplishments. Sigma Xu men have either singly or with a few others been instrumental in the founding of many of the school’s honorary organizations, such as Dragons, Druids, Delta Skull, and Theta Tnu. At one time it was the policy of the fraternity to have as many athletes as possible in the chapter. This is proven by the fact that in one season there were nine Sigma Xu’s on the varsity football squad. However, this viewpoint has been altered to include the representative college student. It has been the aim of the fraternity on this campus to choose men of varied interests—choosing men for themselves rather than for what they represent. In following this policy the personality of the chapter is therefore heterogenous, yet welded together by a single aim. Pledges are encouraged to enter activities so that they may en joy a broader outlook rather than allow themselves to become narrowed to their books alone. The chapter does not slight Study, however, and stands high in scholastic attainment.

Delta Sigma CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Theta Xi T.� PA XI was founded a I Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, April 21). 1 S( 4-, when eight students formally took the oath of initiation and signed the constitution. It was the only fraternity to he founded during the Civil War period, when fraternity activity elsewhere was at a standstill. All of the founders had been members of the local Sigma Delta fraternity established in 1859 at Rensselaer, but dissension had crept into the ranks of its thirteen members, and two factions had arisen. The eight members of Theta Xi. considering such a condition incompatible with their ideal of unity and fellowship, determined to build anew, with the intention of forming a society national in its scope. Accordingly, at meetings held April 1 and April ( . all preliminary preparations were made, and the monogram Theta Xi was chosen. Expansion developed steadily but conservatively until thirty-six chapters were located in most of the large colleges and universities in the country. All of the later chapters have been formed from active petitioning of local societies. The attitude of the fraternity towards these societies has been one of progressive conservatism. The conservative policy is simply that the fraternity believes in adding new chapters only in strong fraternal colleges where a fraternity of high standard may be reasonably sure of a strong and steady growth. The growth of the fraternity has been definitely limited to fifty-five chapters, a number which it considers as its ideal for a national fraternity. Because Theta Xi was founded in a technical institution its membership was at first limited to students working for a B.S. degree. However, as the fraternity grew, there was a noticed trend toward generalization; so, realizing the benefits that would come to the fraternity and to the students bv allowing Theta Xi to be a general social fraternity, the delegates at the annual convention in 192(5 unanimously agreed to withdraw this restriction. The early restriction accounts for the dominance of prominent engineers and scientists among its membership. In addition to the active chapters, twenty-four alumni clubs, located in different cities throughout the country, have been established. These clubs are entitled to a delegate to the convention who may vole on all questions. The fraternity publishes the Unicorn of Theta A’i, a quarterly magazine which contains articles of general fraternity interest, chapter notes, and alumni news. In 1981, the ninth edition of the Membership Directory was published. The Pledge Manual was first issued in 1980. This book contains many facts about the fraternity, as well as social and moral articles, useful to every college man. In 1988, the last song book containing the Theta Xi songs was published. Pi Chapter of Theta Xi at Carnegie was formed from the former locally prominent Gamma Kappa Club, founded in 1908. It was granted its charter as Pi Chapter of Theta Xi in 1912. It was the first national fraternity on the Carnegie Campus, and the only one until 1917. The present chapter house, with its ideal location on Forbes Street, was purchased in 1924. Throughout its twentv-two years of existence. Pi Chapter has maintained its prominent position on the Carnegie campus. It has always been strong in activities and Ims ranked well socially and scholastically.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Kappa Delta Rho T , 1LIIE $tor(V of Ka[)| a Delta Hho begins officially in the spring of 1905 on the then ccnturv-old campus of Middlcburv College, at Middlcbury, Vermont. There can b? little doubt, however, that this date should, in theory, Ik- set back to the date of the matriculation of George E. Kimball, who soon assumed the position of a leader in the strong body of neutral men organized as the Commons Club. Kimball and some of his colleagues had the founding of a new fraternity at Middlcbury in mind over a full year before it was officially announced. I)r. Charles 11. Wright, professor emeritus of English at Middlcbury, who was then acting as Dean of the College, learned of the proposed move of several of the students to form the new fraternity late in the fall of 1904. Needless to say, there had been much secret planning by some of Kappa Delta Klio's founders long before Doctor Wright heard of it. The proposed action somewhat distressed the Dean, and he wrote a letter to Kimball persuading him to abandon his plans. This letter delayed the organization about six months. The idea of a new fraternity for Middlcbury had become too firmly imbedded in Kimball’s mind, however, to be permanently dislodged. Other circumstances made it almost inevitable. At about this time the college was experiencing a period of unprecedented growth. The Commons Club was becoming a cumbersome body; its membership was tending to break up into small groups of men who failed to find the desired congeniality in the Club as a whole. So it was that on or about May 17, 1905, Beecher, Coates, and Kimball met in the room of the latter, 14 Painter Hall, and came definitely to the decision to organize a new fraternity, providing enough students could Ik found to join with them in this enterprise. These three men met with surprising enthusiasm in those whom they approached, and the work of organization proceeded rapidly so that by Commencement in 1905 most of the organization processes had been completed. For the following eight years Kappa Delta Rho remained a local fraternity. In the fall of 1912, one of the fraternity’s first initiates, Harold A. Severy, '09, entered Cornell for graduate work. Here he found a nucleus of fine men whose ideals were similar to those he knew in the Middlcbury group, and the idea of a second chapter of Kappa Delta Rho was conceived and was readily approved bv the Middlcbury Chapter, which sent a delegation to install the Beta Chapter on May 24, 1913. This was the beginning of a careful and conservative expansion into the present nineteen chapters, which extend from Colby College to the University of California. Tan Chapter, at Carnegie Tech, received its charter in the spring of 1930. Previous to this the Chapter had been organized as Delta Mu, a local fraternity. Delta Mu Fraternity was founded in McGill Hall, a Carnegie dormitory, in January, 1921. Five companions assembled in Brother Leonard's room and drew up the original constitution for the fraternity, which was submitted to the Administration, and after due consideration was voted on favorably. In 1923, hv hard and conscientious work, the Delta Mu Fraternity gained recognition among the other fraternities by obtaining a full voting membership in the Interfraternity Council, the fraternity governing body on the campus. Because of rapid growth, the organization obtained new quarters in May, 1924. A fine residence at 1655 Shady Avenue became the Delta Mu House. Later, in April, 1929, the fraternity had the oppor- tunity of locating in a residence on Forbes Street. This house, directly across from the campus, was formally taken over a few months later.

Kirkpatrick CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Phi Sigma Kappa Pm SIGMA KAPPA was founded at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, March 15, 1873. For five years it had no exoteric name and was generally known as the “Three T’s.” Phi Sigma Kappa had a humble beginning. It was founded in a land grant college which had opened its doors only live years before. It is significant that although the earlier expansion was into privately endowed institutions, today approximately half our chapters arc located in land grant colleges and universities. While Phi Sigma Kappa was founded midst un-auspicious surroundings, its founders and their successors were men of dignity, of high purpose, of per-severence, and of rugged integrity. The nationalization of Phi Sigma Kappa began in 1888 when the first branch chapter was established at the Albany Medical School. The most critical years of our history were those following this induction. The parent chapter was prepared to test its real strength and to determine whether it had the vitality to survive. Then every conceivable obstacle was encountered; public distrust in the entire fraternity system, an empty treasury, no adequate organization for chapter supervision, an alumni body small in numbers. Failure under these circumstances would have been natural and excusable. The induction of one branch chapter was not the making of a great national fraternity. The twelve years following the first step toward that goal constituted a most critical period. It was no mere accident that this fraternity, while scores of others failed, survived during those trying years of competition. In the main the difficulties in developing a great national organization were overcome by 1900. At that time there were twelve chapters, for the most part well organized and disciplined. There had been developed a comprehensive system of national administration and there was a fair measure of interest and support among the alumni. Since 189+ the larger part of the Phi Sigma Kappa constitution has been non-secret and occasionally published. The legislative power is vested in the biennial convention, where the suffrage is on the basis of one vote for each group of ten active chapter members, for each group of ten alumni club members, for each chapter adviser, and for each present or former national officer. Supplementing the general convention are the annual regional conclaves, which must recommend all charters within their respective territories and elect a representative to the grand council. The grand council is the executive branch of the government. Five of its members are elected bv regional conclaves, three by the convention, and the ninth, the secretary-treasurer of the fraternity, is appointed by the councilors thus elected. This is a part-time appointment and constitutes the business administration of the fraternity’s affairs. The judicial functions of the government are exercised by the supreme court, elected by the convention from former councilors. Charter grants must have been approved by regional conclaves, council, court and convention. Since 1900 Phi Sigma Kappa has developed steadily. The chapter roll has been increased to a total of fifty chapters. Many magnificent chapter houses have been constructed. There has been a material increase in alumni interest so that today Phi Sigma Kappa stands as one of the group of longest established national fraternities, a recognized leader in the field.

FACULTY MEMBER: R. T. Gambler CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Phi Kappa Pill KAPPA dates back to 18(52, the vear the United States Congress donated to the states certain portions of the Federal lands to be used for the establishment and the support of colleges of agricultural and mechanical arts. Rhode Island assigned its rights under the grant to Brown University, and it was voted in the Assembly to devote the proceeds of the sale of the public land to the establishment of scholarships to worthy young men. This started the influx of ambitious young Catholic men into the University, which continued long after the free scholarships were withdrawn. These Catholics, denied admission to the old Greek letter fraternities because of their religion, and having seen the opportunities afforded by these fraternities, decided to found their own society. The original meeting was held in Boom Three, Hope College, of Brown University in September, 1889. At this meeting Gillrain was elected first president and McGinn the first secretary. At this time these men did not contemplate the establishment of a full-fledged Greek letter fraternity as compared to the existing fraternities at Brown, but rather a club or society which would link together the Catholics at Brown, giving them a chance to attain the prestige and benefits of social intercourse. This organization functioned as a club until 1892, when the chapter form of organization was inaugurated. The new organization was to lx known ns Phi Kappa Sigma, but since there was another national organization going by that name it was changed to Phi Kappa, which it has remained to this day. Here the original charter was drawn up and the fraternity was incorporated in the state of Rhode Island. Many applications to enter the ranks of the fraternity were received, but until May 27, 1912. no other organization was identified with Phi Kappa. On this date a degree team from Brown installed the Loyals Club at the University of Illinois as Beta Chapter of Phi Kappa. Soon followed other installa- tions until today the fraternity lias twenty-four chapters spread over the United States. Rho chapter of Phi Kappa at Carnegie Institute of Technology was admitted to the national organization on February 11, 1925. At the time of founding. Catholic men were not eligible for membership in most social fraternities on the campus. Now, after ten odd years of continuous operation, the foresight of the founders of Rho Chapter has been attested, as Phi Kappa has grown to lx a regularly recognized organization in all fraternal activities in the institute. The Carnegie Chapter of Phi Kappa was founded on the Carnegie Campus as a local known as Kappa Kpsilon, in May, 1928. Their first place of meeting was in the Knights of Columbus Club Room on Fifth Avenue. The following year the fraternity obtained a house on South Aiken Avenue, thus marking the major step in the progress of the local fraternity. The chapter subsequently moved to Center Avenue the following year, at which address it was located until the spring of 1982, when it moved to the present location on Forbes Street. Each year the national organization of Phi Kappa awards scholarships to graduate members who have been outstanding in activities and scholarship. The purpose of these scholarships is to provide funds for continuing the education of these men. Rho chapter has obtain a scholarship each year for the last four years.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Lambda Chi Alpha LaMHDA CHI ALPHA is a gen-oral, social college fraternity, founded at Boston University on November 2, 1909. It now lias eighty-four active chapters distributed throughout the United States and Canada. Alumni of various chapters have voluntarily formed organizations in forty-three cities. In addition, fifty alumni serve as “contact secretaries” for the purpose of facilitating meetings between graduates in as many other cities throughout the world. Since 1920 the Fraternity has maintained a well-equipped central headquarters which has supplied the chapters with standard forms and materials, has handled all general fraternity transactions, and has kept all general records. This office is under the supervision of an Administrative Secretary. From it are sent out each year two Graduate Traveling Secretaries, whose chief duty is to inspect and advise the undergraduate groups. Laws governing the Fraternity arc made at biennial conventions at which delegates from all chapters have a vote. These laws arc interpreted and enforced by a board of eight officers who are elected by the convention. According to the figures of the National Interfraternity Council during the period when records have been made available. Lambda Chi Alpha has never ranked lower than fourth in scholarship among fraternities having fifty or more chapters. The Fraternity, as an example of unselfishness to its members, annually furnishes scholarships to several deserving boys in mountain trade schools. Lambda Chi Alpha was the first men’s fraternity to adopt such a policy. Kappa Sigma Rho, which became Epsilon Lambda Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha on November 9. 1929, was founded on March 14. 1914. On this date eight students of the two-year-old Carnegie Institute of Technology organized Delta Sigma Rho as a fraternal organization. This was the third organization of its character on the campus. The overcoming of difficulties united this group of men into a strong organization with high standards. The organization continued to increase in strength and on June U, 191(5, was installed as the Carnegie chapter of the National Federation of Commons Club. However, due to a disagreement in the ideals of the national organization, the Carnegie chapter decided by a unanimous vote l withdraw from the national organization. This step was taken on March 18, 1918. From that date on the organization was known as Kappa Sigma Rho Fraternity. The reason for the withdrawal was, that contrary to the constitution of the National Federation of Com mons Clubs, the Carnegie chapter, as well as the majority of all other chapters, had favored a selective policy with regard to new members, while still holding a high regard for the ideals of democracy. Rather than abandon their principle of a selective policy, members decided to break from the national organization. The growth of Kappa Sigma Rho was checked by the World War. The years 1918-1919 saw sixty-one in the service of the United States in the Army and Navy. Two of these men were killed in action. At the reopening of college in January 1919, the organization rapidly rebuilt its active chapter into a strong group, and moved into its present home which it purchased at 444 Amlxrson Avc. In 1927, Kappa Sigma Rho decided to petition a national fraternity, and was attracted to the progressive spirit and ideals of Lambda Chi Alpha. The petition was finally granted two years later, and the group was installed as the seventy-eighth chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha.

Seven men constituted the first active chapter. Today, the fraternity has sixtv-cight active chapters and more than 15.000 members. Since its inception, the fraternity lias chartered, in addition to the sixty-eight chapters, alumni chapters or associations in forty-six different cities. Great difficulties were encountered in the early financing of the fraternity and in 1919 the Sigma Phi Epsilon organization, at its Conclave, adopted a budgeting system which was being used at that time by the Purdue chapter. This system was studied and improved and adopted for use in all chapters of Sigma Phi Epsilon. This plan, now known as the Sigma Phi Epsilon plan of finance, has been adopted by many other members of the National Interfraternitv Conference of which Sigma Phi Epsilon has been a member for several years. Pennsylvania Theta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was formerly the Sigma Epsilon Phi fraternity. This local group was founded for the express purpose of becoming a unit of the Sigma Phi Epsilon organization. The petition of Sigma Epsilon Phi was approved bv the national organization, and it was installed as Pennsylvania Theta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon on Octolier 10,1925. Since that time, the Carnegie unit has grown steadily. Pennsylvania Theta moved from its former house, located upon Forbes Street, over a year ago. Their new quarters, on Morewood Avenue, lends far more opportunities for true fraternal development. The site, which is elevated from the level of the street by terraces, seems quite apart from that which might l e expected in a congested city. The garden to the rear and side of the house has a picturesque charm that adds inspiration to the student during the fall and spring seasons, as during both times the foliage of the shrubs and of the creeping vines on the large wall has a lovely, natural beauty. The activities this year of the fraternity have proved extremely interesting and varied in their scope. The intramural competitions were found to induce a keen competitive interest in the members of the house. The fraternity basketball team had a successful season and finished the race second in its league. The debating team, composed of Coder Taylor and Owen Kennedy, had easy competition until it competed against the Senior Secretariats in the semifinals. The bridge team, although having several good players, had a rather unsuccessful season. The team was composed of Hill Kreps, Don Claassen, Stan Kikoski and Chuck Moore. The mushball team has started the season with much vigor, and the chances are running high that they will finish in the first division of their league. The battery staff composed of Unkovich and Kennedy has proved extremely effective. Pennsylvania Theta was exceptionally well represented in the Kiltie Hand this season. John Barker, Harold Thomas, Fordo Steele, Richard Travers and Charles Hinghain were the chapter's representatives. Several of the members of the house have been called this year for honorary and professional fraternities. John Barker is a memlter of Scabbard and Blade, Theta Tau. and Pi Tau Sigma. Harold Thomas is a Theta Tau. Frank Church is a Tau Sigma Delta. The social affairs were of particular note this year. At each dance, the social chairman endeavored to provide something different in entertainment so that the possibility of a monotonous series of dances be eliminated. The first affair of the season, the open-house dance, proved a great success. During the course of the evening, most of the administrative officials of the school visited the house. The entire crowd of guests appeared to enjoy themselves thoroughly. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Theta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, installed at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1925.

Theta CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma alpha epsilon was founded at the University of Alabama, March 9, 183(5, by eight students who had become hard and fast friends, Noble DeYotie, John Rudolph, John Kerr, Wade Foster, Nathan Cockrell, Abner Patton, Samuel Dennis and Thomas Cook. Chief of these was DeYotie, who had written the ritual and chosen the name. The fraternity was designed to be national in extent and had seven chapters before the end of the year 1837. When the Civil War came, Sigma Alpha Epsilon had between four and five hundred members. Three hundred and seventy-six of them went to war. More than sixty members of the fraternity lost their lives in the war. The military record of S.A.E. shows a major general, two brigadier generals, seven adjutant generals, an inspector general, eighteen colonels, four lieutenant colonels and thirteen majors. Only one chapter survived the war. This chapter took up the task of rebuilding the fraternity. The Civil War left an antagonistic feeling between the north and south. For that reason, northern extension of the fraternity was bitterly opposed by many mom-Ixrrs of the fraternity. The first northern chapter, however, was established at Pennsylvania College, now Gettysburg College, at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1883. This opened the period of northern extension, and from this time the fraternity spread rapidly through northern and western institutions. Over 8,000 members were in the service during the World War. Alumni who were with the American Expeditionary Force in Europe were organized wherever possible. An alumni association was formed at Paris, France, where regular monthly meetings were held throughout the war. Today the fraternity has 108 active chapters with a total membership of 43,000. Alumni Associations exist in one hundred and five American cities and in Paris, France. National Headquarters are maintained at Evanston, Illinois. In the national house, owned by S.A.E., there is a large library of books covering fraternity subjects in general and a museum devoted to the American college fraternity. The Leverc Memorial Temple, recently completed at Evanston, was built in memory of all the members of the fraternity who lost their lives defending their country. The fraternity magazine, the Record, was founded in 1880 by Major Robert H. Wildbcrger of the Kentucky Chi chapter. It is published quarterly by the national officers. I hi Alpha is a secret magazine of the fraternity and is issued regularly as a secondary magazine. Other publications include Who's Who In S.A.E., The Memory Hook Of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alumni Year Hook, S.A.E. In The World War, and A Directory Of S.A.E. Soon after the Carnegie Institute of Technology, then the Carnegie Technical School, opened its doors to students, a group of these students organized the Canoe Club. In order to make their friendships permanent the members of the Canoe Club banded together to form Zeta Lambda Epsilon fraternity. From the beginning the fraternity was active in all school and social functions. The school paper, The Tartan, was organized by members of the fraternity. The local fraternity petitioned to Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 1917 and was accepted in 1919. In October 1919 Sigma Alpha Epsilon made its appearance on the Carnegie Campus. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the fourth national fraternity to found a chapter at Carnegie.

Intersorority Council is made up of representatives from all the sororities located on the campus. The duty of the Council is to deal with all the sorority groups as a whole. Its aim is to keep the sororities in close contact with each other, and to promote a feeling of cooperation between them. The activities of the Council arc many and varied. Early in November, Intersorority Council sponsors a tea which formally opens rushing season. They have outlined a group of strict rushing rules which the sororities are obliged to follow. Dates for the various events must be approved by Council, as well as the budgets of the various groups. In February, the council sponsors the Intersorority Formal, which in past years has always been an outstanding event. A committee of Council members is appointed by the president to manage the affair. All sororities are represented at the function. All new sororities who desire to be recognized on the campus must present a written petition to Council In-fore they can Ik admitted. This petition must Ik? voted upon and passed bv Intersorority Council and Student Council, before the sorority may Ik- admitted and recognized. A new sorority must also Ik- active on the campus one year prior to its admittance into the Council. This year two new sororities have been recognized by Council. The first Phi Delta Mu, a sorority in the College of Fine Arts, was recognized on Octoln-r 20, 10.'J.'J, The second. Kappa Phi Delta, whose mcm-Ikm-s are from Margaret Morrison Carnegie College, was recognized December 12, 1933. The position of Intersorority Council on the campus of Carnegie Institute of Technology is well established and gaining in importance. It has Ik-cii only in the past several years that the sorority governing body has been able to make its influence felt at Carnegie. Now the group has active relations with all of the major student government bodies, and its accomplishments are being recognized as necessary parts of undergraduate jurisdiction. In the future, when sororities are in a more firm position on campus, anil their active relationships take on a national character, the Intersorority Council will expand and develop beyond its present form to keep pace with tin-growth of the sororities.

In the month of June, 1923, a group of girls in the College of Fine Arts organized a sorority, which they named Gamma Gamma Gamma, with these ideals: hacking and encouragement of the Arts School girls in their undertakings, promotion of friendship, development of character, diffusion of liberal culture, and support and promotion of activities and movements for the betterment of Carnegie Institute of Technology. In later years, the alumni, wishing to continue as a group with similar objectives, formed the first sorority alumni organization at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Gammas contributed the scholarship cup, which is awarded each year to the sorority having the highest scholastic average. Although the Tri-Gam sorority, as it is nicknamed, has not been able to boast possession of this award to any extent, the organization has many activity leaders on the campus. One of the outstanding members is the Art Editor of the Thistle. The organization is very well represented in all of the honoraries for which the women of Carnegie arc eligible. One of the members of Gamma Gamma Gamma holds the offices of president for two of these: Mortar Hoard and Alpha ('hi Alpha. Of the year's events, the sorority deems their success during rushing season of utmost importance. Work previous to and during the two weeks allotted to rushing netted the organization nineteen acceptances to bids. These prizes proved their worth in the talent displayed by them in the clever entertainment given to spice the frequent supper meetings held by the active body throughout the winter months. A New Year's celebration on the fifth of January was another high spot of the year’s activities. The entire group spent the delightful evening of that date dancing with select escorts in the Chatterbox of the William Penn. The pledge season of the younger members of Tri-Gam was polished off with an uncertain amount of elbow grease at the initiation. Somehow this treatment seems to have done a great deal of good for the girls, for they seem to have slipped into their places as representatives of Tri-Gam with remarkable ease and efficiency. They have become as dignified a group of mcm! crs ns the organization could wish to have.

FACULTY ADVISOR: Miss Mildred Lawton. In February, 1929, nine girls of the Fine Arts School of Carnegie formed an organization, the purpose to he the encouragement of loyalty to the school and friends, and development of scholastic ability. During the summer months the group worked on their ritual and pin, constitution and by-laws, and in Oc-tober they were recognized by the Administration and Student Council. They chose the name Beta Pi, the initials of the Greek words which symbolized their purpose. They designed a four-sided pin centered by a square of blue enamel, on which were the Greek initial letters of Beta and Pi. Their colors were blue and emerald green and their flower was the cornflower. In November of 1929 Beta Pi initiated three girls. During the next month the organization was instrumental in forming the Intersorority Council on the campus. In September of 1922, the first regular meeting was called to order. Mildred Lawton, recorder for the School of Music, became the faculty advisor. In November, since there were then three sororities in the Fine Arts School, rushing rules were determined and published in the Carnegie Tartan. The first Intersorority tea was held in the Arts F.xhihition Boom. Beta Pi in 1933 was distinguished by having many of its members elected to various offices. One member became Women’s Editor of the Puppet, others were made Vice-President and Secretary of the Junior Class, President of Mellon Hall, members of the Dormitory Council and officers of Bacchanalian. In May, 1933, a dinner dance was held at the Pittsburgh Field Club, marking the close of the social season for the sorority. Miss Mary Watson Green and Miss Leonora Donahoe were chaperones. In the fall, rushing season got into full swing with a Mothers’ and Daughters’ Ten. A formal dance was given in the Brown House. This event was followed bv a Scavenger Hunt, and a Buffet Supper terminated the fall rushing season of this year. Beta Pi held a Christmas Formal at the William Penn Hotel to celebrate the holidays. In January, 1984, one member was made President of the Intersorority Council, and another was made President of the Women’s Scholarship Organization, making the last season a total success, and maintaining the position of prestige which has been the Beta Pi’s for many years.

The Beta Tau Laminin Sorority is a social organization, founded in 1920. The society was established by a group of six charter members who adopted a constitution under the name of The Beetles, in August of that year. The original name of the sorority was changed in May, 19.30, to Beta Tau Lambda. Traditions which are kept by the members of the organization from year to year include a luncheon held once a week, a dinner meeting every two weeks, a serious discussion of some current event at each meeting, and a Mother’s Day tea. Members of the sorority have many interests in the various campus activities. Of great note in the field of student activities is Evelyn Gamble, who is a member of Mortarboard, the women’s senior class honorary, an honorary member of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, and maid of honor to the Carnegie Campus (Jueen for the year 1933-34. Beta Tau Lambda Sorority maintains an active Alumni Association which works in close cooperation with the active members. Mrs. Mulloy, who is a former “Beetle,” has succeeded Miss Canfield, of the Department of Music of the Fine Arts College, as sponsor of the sorority. Social functions for the past year began with the annual rushing tea, wihch was held at the home of Jane Anderson, the sorority’s representative to Intersorority Council. A tea dance was held soon thereafter at the Pines. The 1933 rushing Formal was held in the “Brown House,” on the Carnegie Campus, and a buffet supper was held at the home of the Pledge Mistress, Betty O’Toole, closing the rushing period for the season. Dances in the Continental Room of the Schenley Hotel and in the Chatterbox of the Hotel William Penn were given before and after the Christmas holidays. These affairs were followed by the informal and formal initiations of the thirteen pledges, and the Intersorority Formal. The initiation of three additional pledges was postponed until the spring. 'Cowards the end of the year the sorority enjoyed the Spring Formal, which was held at the Alconia Country Club. The Mother’s Day tea came during this period as customary. The fortnightly dinner meetings of the sorority were held throughout the year in the Women’s Recreation Room. At a meeting held on April 24, the following officers were elected for the coming year: Rose Marie Grentzcr, ’35, Department of Music, President; Dorothy Mover, ’35, Vice-President; Evelyn Lyle, ’36, Department of Music, Secretary, and Betty Schrack, ’36, Department of Music.

Scott, Grace Sauer, Helen Ruth Dcikc, Norinc Iloburg, Margaret Probst, Inez Graham, Phyllis Goldsmith. In 1904 the Alpha Kappa Psi sorority was made a national organization by means of a charter which was obtained from the state of North Carolina. This charter was secured by a group of young women from Saint Mary’s College in Kaleigh, North Carolina. The organization was founded with the general purpose of promoting a bond of companionship between a group of congenial students, and of creating a means for the development of social pleasures which would give relief from, but not conflict with, the regular scholastic activities of the students. The Kappa chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was established at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1911. This chapter was formed in the interest of a group of women attending the College of Fine Arts, who had developed a bond of friendship, but who felt the need of definite organization to carry on productive relationships in their efforts to achieve prestige through activity on the campus. Miss Katherine Kennedy was the chief instigator of the formation of the Carnegie chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi. It was her original conception that the group of Carnegie women should petition the national organization, and through her efforts the local organization realized its installation as the Kappa chapter. For the past twenty-three years the Kappa chapter has taken a very active part in the various activities on the Carnegie campus. Besides accomplishing the objects of binding the group of Arts School women into a unit of congeniality, and providing a certain amount of extracurricular activity as a healthy source of recreation, the Carnegie chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi has managed to keep intellectual development as one of its principal objectives. For the past three years the sorority has won the Intersororitv Scholarship cup, which is awarded to the Carnegie sorority possessing the highest scholastic standing. During the school year 1933-34, quite a few members of Alpha Kappa Psi were taken into campus honorary societies, local and national. Three senior members of the sorority were elected to membership in Phi Kappa Phi, ranking scholastic honorary on the Carnegie campus, admitting only as members people of either sex having completed the junior year in college. Two members were taken into Tau Sigma Delta, the architectural and allied arts honorary. One Kappa member was elected to the Cwens, sophomore women’s honorary, of which organization she became president. The vice-president of the sophomore class and the chairman of the Freshman Regulations Committee for women were also Alpha Kappa Psi’s. For the past three years the presidency of Intersorority Council has been officered by a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. The sorority has always aimed to have its members active in school affairs, and it has tried not only to come into contact with the different departments of the Art School, but also to have interests in the other colleges.

FACULTY ADVISOR: Mrs. Hazel G. Parisi. The Kappa Phi Delta Sorority of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College was organized in 1929 by a group of freshman girls who met once a week. Their purpose in organizing was to start work towards obtaining for Margaret Morrison girls the privilege of having recognized sororities. In the spring of their freshman year they petitioned for recognition on the campus, but were advised to wait for three years. They continued as an organized group and, at the end of their senior year, they petitioned again. At this time they received the approval of President Raker and I)r. Watkins, and were permitted to bid for new members. In the spring of 1933 they initiated three juniors and nine sophomores who were selected to carry on the work toward complete recognition as an organized sorority. In the fall of 193.3 the new members petitioned the Intersorority Council of the College of Fine Arts and Student Council. They received recognition from both. In December they began rushing, and after pledging, initiated twelve new members. The recognition of a sorority necessitates a few changes in the constitution of Intersororitv Council. Some provision had to l c made to take care of the problems of rushing, which at present are very different in Margaret Morrison from those in the College of Fine Arts. There will be a council of two branches to meet the conditions, one from each of the two colleges. The division of the council in Margaret Morrison will consist of two voting members from the recognized sororities, and two representatives from the sororities functioning on the campus but which have not as yet received recognition. When a matter arises which concerns all the sororities of Carnegie, both branches of the Intersorority Council will meet as one body. It is thought that in this way the interests of the two groups will be brought closer together, and in time, when sororities have become fully established in Margaret Morrison, there may be interschool rushing. At present the only change in the rushing rules is that Margaret Morrison sororities will rush girls who have completed one year of work at Carnegie Institute of Technology. According to the Constitution of Kappa Phi Delta, as it was originally written, meml� ership in the sorority was limited to girls commuting to the school. Since the purpose of the sorority is to promote a spirit of friendship and cooperation among the girls of Margaret Morrison, this article has been amended so that it is now possible to rush girls who live in the Carnegie dormitories. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Phi Delta Mu OFFICERS: Gkrtmcdk Brkakstoni:, PrerUUnt; Eixanuk Stkbn, Secrelnry-Treneurrr; A.maiia Rust, Intersorority Council Representative.

HONORARY MEMBER: Jeannette Fiscliel. The vear 1933-34 marked the recognition of Phi Delta Mu, a new sorority in the School of Fine Arts. The group was organized in 1932 and was in existence a year as an unofficial club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. J. A. Rosenbach. In September, 1934, Phi Delta Mu petitioned Intersorority and Student Councils for recognition and was accepted by both as an official sorority. The first rushing season of the group consisted of four major affairs. The initial event was a Gypsy Tea, given at the home of Sylvia Lipka. As guests of honor were the wives of several of the faculty members. The following week a luncheon-bridge was held at the Kuskin Apartments. Dean Green attended as guest of honor and Mrs. Rosenbach presided as hostess. The third affair was a tea dance held at the home of Heat rice Bildcr. The rushing season closed with a buffet supper. After rushing season Mrs. Rosenbach invited the members and pledges to a Sunday tea. and in the spring the pledges entertained the memt crs with a dinner-theater party. Since this has been its first year as a recognized group, Phi Delta Mu has given most of its time to trying to develop a more smoothly running organization. The purpose of the group, aside from its purely social aspect, is to bring into closer contact and cooperation the girls of the various departments in Arts School; to aid the freshmen in adapting themselves to college life and activities; and to take part, whenever possible, in all worthy enterprises, both on and off campus. The sorority has endeavored to raise and keep high its standard of scholarship, placing third in the list of sorority scholarship ratings. But most important of all, it is the hope and determination of the memlK-rs of Phi Delta Mu that this organization, despite its present youth, will assume a definite and useful place on the campus as it grows in age and experience. The colors of Phi Delta Mu sorority arc wine and chartreuse. For the flower the organization has chosen the talisman rose. The faculty advisor is Mrs. J. A. Rosenbach.

Tito immediate purpose of this organization is to participate in the work of the World’s Young Christian Association and to advance the physical, social, intellectual, moral, and spiritual interests of young women. The ultimate purpose of all its efforts is to bring young women to such a knowledge of Christ as shall mean for the individual young woman fullness of life and development of character. The Big and Little Sister Movement is one of the concrete services being performed by the Association. The Vice-President of the Cabinet takes charge of this work each spring and compiles a list of the upper-class girls who are willing to accept the responsibility of a “little sister” for the following year. During the summer she sends to each of these girls the name and address of a member of the incoming class. These girls arc expected to write to the freshman, to assist them in registering, to further their social acquain-tanee with other classmates, and to lx-friend them in every possible way. During the year, several dinner meetings, talks bv prominent men and women, and teas have been held. Outstanding among the events of this year was the joint Christmas dinner meeting before the Christmas holidays, at which the Men’s Glee Club sang; the all-dav entertainment provided for a group of Industrial girls last month, at which Mrs. Parisi and Dr. Nathan Miller spoke; and a joint meeting of the men and women’s “Y” cabinet held at Mr. Davis’ home, at which Dr. II. Evans spoke. The Freshman Cabinet, consisting of a group of freshman girls interested in “Y” work, is under the supervision of one of the members of the senior cab inet, whose special duty is to organize and plan the activities in which this nucleus of freshman girls engage. Sophomore chairmen in the Senior Cabinet are usually chosen from this group. A group of advisors, consisting partly of members of the faculty, has been selected; they are: Dean Mary Watson Green, Miss Eleanor Gruver, Miss Mary E. Ilall, Mrs. Edmonds, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Cranna. The advisory board assists when any question arises among cabinet members, makes suggestions. and attends the various luncheon and dinner meetings. On March 9, 10. and 11. five memliers of The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were sent to a joint Y. M.-Y. W.-conference at California, Pennsylvania. Other activities consisted in luncheon meetings, and personal contact’ between memliers of the cabinet and the student body. It should lie impressed upon all women students that every woman who registers at Carnegie is automatically a member of the Y. W. C. A.

The Women’s Athletic Association is not a small organization by any means, since it includes as members all regularly enrolled Carnegie Women. Membership in the Organization is automatic and starts when each women pays her activities fee. Of course, such a large organization must be governed by a smaller one. The W. A. A. Hoard was formed to do this. Each manager has the responsibility of pushing her sport, of making the girls want to participate in it and then, of making the season interesting. She must plan practice periods, supervise practices (and take part if she wishes) and bold inter-class contests if her sport is of the kind that permits it. Hockey lias become tremendously popular in the last year. Rifle lias always been rather popular, and will probably continue to be popular because of the prominence to which the Women’s Rifle Team has risen in the last year. It lias indeed an enviable record, hav- ing placed second in the National Rifle Association Intercollegiate Team Matches and having four of its members place first, third, fifth, and sixth in the National Individual Intercollegiate Matches. Swimming has become an Intercollegiate sport through a yearly telegraphic swimming meet. The other sports, such as Basketball, Volleyball, and Hockey, hold inter-class games at the end of the season which are attended by a great deal of excitement since rivalry does exist between the classes. Hiking, which also includes ice skating and roller skating, is very popular. The manager tries to arrange interesting breakfast or luncheon hikes out into the country. Hut the activities of the W. A. A. Board do not stop with sports management. Not the least important arc the play days, followed bv luncheon or refreshments, one being held in the fall for entering freshmen and the other in the spring for high school girls. The W. A. A. also holds swimming parties each semester, which are quite popular. The pool is usually decorated in some novel fashion, and tables and cards are set up for those who might want to play bridge. The annual Awards Party is held in the spring, at which time awards are made for participation in the various sports, which leads us to the system of awards now in practice. What is called a point system is used. A number of points is awarded depending upon the importance of the sport. When a girl has earned 400 points she receives her numerals, for 800 points, a pin, and for 1000 points a letter C, which is the highest award available and is won by few girls.

Since there are many students who cannot enter college without some outside financial aid—students whose work merits some sort of financial help—and since this sort of help is so very scarce, there is a widespread demand for an organization with the object of supplying students of deserving characteristics with this service. Last year and this year especially, many students have been struggling against terrific financial odds to stay enrolled in the school. To meet this situation an organization was founded five years ago at Carnegie Institute of Technology. This organization functions under the single purpose of giving scholarships to women worthy of such reward. Although the Women’s Scholarship Association is a fairly new organization on the Carnegie campus, it has been very active in its few years of existence bv helping the financially pressed women students of the College of Fine Arts and the Margaret Morrison College. The purpose of the organization is to unite the women’s organizations on the campus in providing funds for the scholarships to be given each semester to women of the Schools of Fine Arts and Margaret Morrison, awarded on the basis of ability, character, and the need for assistance. Before the association was definitely organized, each organization on the campus held a benefit function, and contributed the returns to a general Scholarship Fund. This organization served the purpose, but the Association is much more successful and efficient. The membership of the Association consists of the presidents of all the women’s organizations on the Carnegie campus. The officers of the Association arc a President, who is elected from the senior class; two Vice-Presidents, one chosen from Margaret Morrison and one from Fine Arts School; a Secretary, who is appointed by the President; and a Treasurer, who is elected. In order to raise a fund large enough to furnish scholarships for the many needy students, the organization sponsors an annual theatre benefit. This year the benefit performance, which was very successful, was for the Maxwell Anderson play, Mary of Scotland, produced by the Theatre Guild and starring Helen Hayes. Four hundred dollars of the proceeds obtained from the sale of tickets was given to the Scholarship Committee to be used as scholarships for worthy girls during the semester beginning in February of 1934-. Five hundred dollars was given to the Committee for the semester beginning in September of 193-4. The amount of the scholarships was to be determined by the Scholarship Committee. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Bacchan- alians OKFICKRS: J. Hroi Joyce, Aciirey Kelly, Polly Howler; Glen dinning Keeiu.e, F.i.meu Kenyon, Chester Wallace, Faculty Advisors; William Hales, Dance Director; Franklin IIeller, William Heal, Student Advisors. The Bacchanalians were organized in 1932 for the purpose of producing a musical show for the annual Spring Carnival. Since that time their plans have hecn increased in scope to include at the present the production of straight dramatic material in contrast to previous musical revues. The Bacchanalians give the following explanation for the choice of the unusual name which their organization hears. Their show is presented at the annual Spring Carnival, which is a reflection of the spring festivals of ancient Greece, dedicated to the god, Bacchus. Plays, both comic and tragic, with choral accompaniments, were part of the festivities on these occasions, so that the derivation and application of the name Bacchanalians is both appropriate and historically correct. The Bacchanalians’ first production, “Tar and Feathers,” was given before a large audience in the Gymnasium, May HI, 1932. In its skits it satirized many well-known persons and institutions. The production last year, entitled “Over the Coals,” was similar in the nature of its material. It was given at the Pitt Theater and was particularly outstanding for its dancing numbers. This year’s performance was a high comedy play, “Love Is Not Important,” by Rosemary Cascv, a Pittsburgh playwright. It was given at the Nixon Theater, May 11 and 12. The performance on May 11 was as a benefit for several local civic organizations. In contrast to the two previous productions, “Love Is Not Important” was not entirely under student management. Chester Wallace was the faculty director and under his guidance the student management and performance of the piece was of the excellent quality that usually characterizes Carnegie theatrical productions. The cast for this year’s production included Miss Polly Bowles as Diana, Rosemary Carver as Peggy, Janet Patrick as Mrs. Warrick, Jane Franccv as Thelma Thayer, George McCalmon as Arthur. William Beal as Ilenry, Rosalind Wikander as Foster, Carl Dozer as The Doctor. Miss Rosemary Casey, the authoress of the play, attended all the rehearsals, and helped with the casting of the play. She was very much pleased with the production given her play. I’nfortunately the production given bv the Bacchanalians this year did not have a cast large enough to include many of the members of the organization. It is hoped that the organization will in the future have the opportunity of reverting to their usual plan of giving a student written, produced, and directed musical revue. Other members of the organization include: John Kennedy, Betty Fouche, Jane Livingston, Bernice Lcvenson, Veronica Kloos, George Kittrcdgc, Franklin Webb, Ruth Fnckler, F.dwnrd Pnlkot, Maynard Samscn, F.mma Lou Suess, Marcia Leetv, Julian von del Lancken, and Sylvia I.ipkc. - NIGHT SCHOOL 'Tisn’t th’ easiest thing i' th' world T seek education at night, But those of us who ha honestly tried Ken th’ teamin’ is worth th’ fight. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Dr. R. M. Ihrig It is a pleasure, a privilege, and an honor to he associated with the night students of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Through the pages of the Thistle I should like to express niv appreciation of the tine spirit of our night students and wish them continued success in their work. Roscof. M. Ihrig We, the night student bodv of Carnegie Institute of Technology, feel very fortunate in having Dr. Ihrig as Director of the Night School. Under his leadership the Night School enrollment has increased, many additional courses of study have been made available, and the value of the school lo the community has been greatly enhanced. Dr. Ihrig has always been an ardent champion of the rights of night students, and is largely responsible for the scholastic recognition the school now enjoys. While he has other duties as Director of General Studies, and as Dean of Freshmen, unquestionably the Night School and its progress are his paramount interests. The night students of Carnegie wish to express their appreciation for the tine part Dr. Ihrig has taken in the improvement of part time educational opportunities. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Night Student Council OFFICERS: Auxanukii .1. hois. President; Ei� wam Wiim:, 'ire-President; Fuank A. Koi.m x, Secretary; Kmiiarr W. I.aiiii, Treasurer. MEMBERS: Lawrence J. Becker, Cornelius A. Blockinger, Arthur C. Grimm, Frank A. Kolsun, Robert W. Lillir, Alexander .1. Lois, Edward C- McMullen, Olga Mnlig, Herliert B. Stone, Joseph Traclit, William A. Vensel, Thaddcus J. Werner, Edwiml White. Official recognition of the Night Student Council was made possible by the adoption of its constitution by the night students during the school year 1924-25. By this action, the three colleges of night school in the Carnegie Institute of Technology—the College of Fine Arts, College of Industries, and the College of Engineering—were consolidated into a single central organization, with the purpose of governing the student activities of these colleges. The maintenance of this governing body has been marked by efficiency, and the soundness of its conception has been proven beyond doubt. Past records of the activities and duties executed by Night Student Council have substantiated this, and from all indications the future of the organization holds still greater promise of success. Representation in the Night Student Council of Carnegie Institute of Technology includes the four officers elected from each of the three colleges and a president who is elected from the council of the preceding year. Regular meetings of the council arc held each month, at which time the various problems of the night student group arc discussed and given solution. The Night Student Council is granted complete charge over all student activities and organizations of the night enrollment. Students wishing to organize on the campus are subject to the ruling of the council and must apply to it for permission and approval be-fore meetings can be held. The Night Student Council has the power to act on all questions of a non-athlctic nature affecting the students of night-school. It has control over all student activities. In this capacity, and in the interest of the night student body, the council sponsors a number of social affairs to provide recreation and to break the monotony of the night school curriculum. This activity it effects besides the regular supervision of the social activities sponsored by other night school organizations. The disbursement of the student fund made available by the Student Activities Fee, assessed each student upon his enrollment at the first of each semester, is handled bv the Night Student Council. This fee is used to finance the various functions held by each of NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Ai.kxaki kii J. I.ois Edwakd Wiiitk Flic colleges, in addition to its use in making possible the publication by the council of the Student “Handbook,” and the Plaid, which is printed in conjunction with the day students publication. The Tartan. edited and mailed each week to all night students. To encourage the students to participate in the various affairs held by the council and the individual colleges, the Night Student Council awards Insignia Keys and three scholarships. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic and activities ratings in night school. One scholarship award is given for each of the three colleges. With the aid of the Night Student Council, each college sponsors three social functions a year. In the College of Fine Arts these functions take the form of three dances, held at convenient times throughout the year. The College of Industries holds two dances and one smoker, while the College of Engineering diversities its activities into a smoker, a dance, and a banquet, the latter having been a traditional function which has been carried on annually by the night students of the College of Engineering for the past nineteen years. Today the Night Student Council of Carnegie Institute of Technology is recognized as one of the best organized groups among night student bodies in any college. Credit for this distinction is due to the night students themselves, who, by their cooperation and energy, have made possible a rapid progress toward the full recognition of their governing body by the Institute.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Fine Arts Night Officers OFFICERS: Ri wari McMci.ij.n, President; Edward Wiim:, Vice-Pretident; JtttKi’ii Traciit, Secretary; On.a .Mci.ki, Treasurer. It is not all hooks and study for the night school student who conics to matriculate at Carnegie Institute of Technology, eager in the search for further knowledge in a chosen field which is to supplement his or her daily work. Through the efforts of the early student leaders in the Night College of Fine Arts—men and women who saw that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull hov”—it is possible today to have social events held at intervals during the school year to supplement the daily routine of the curricular work on the campus. Night campus social functions have the valuable effect of enhancing night student life at Carnegie, so it is very natural that the student body should direct a large portion of its energies towards organizing a program to provide group entertainment for its members. The Night College of Fine Arts carried on its activities in this endeavor by holding three dances and a meeting for the election of officers during the term of These four events were assured success before they were even definitely scheduled, liecause of the eagerness with which the Night Arts group anticipated them. The first event on the Arts Social Calendar was the election of officers to represent the Night College of Fine Arts student hotly in the Night Student Council. These officers were chosen as capable directors of the forthcoming social events, the dances. A very large crowd attended the elections, and the voting was made unusually exciting by the closeness of its resulting decision. On November 4, the Night College of Fine Arts held its first dance, in Thistle Hall. Amid the setting of a Harvest Festival, with a Harvest Moon resting in the rolling clouds overhead, and corn-stalks and pumpkins gracing the fields surrounding, the merry crowd danced to the lilting rhythm of Jimmy Karl and his orchestra. All of the many couples left the dance with a joyous feeling of contentment after having what was mutually agreed to have ! een “a most pleasant evening.” On February 10, the last day of the first term, the Night Arts sponsored its second dance. At this magnificent function Thistle Hall was truly transformed into the regal palace of St. Valentine. The setting, amid countless numbers of hearts, appropriately dimmed lighting effects and novel decorations, was extremely attractive. Hermie Kumcr and his orchestra made their first appearance at Carnegie at this dance. The music he furnished was of fine quality, and it was received well by the dancers. The final social event was the Spring Frolic, held in Thistle Ilall on April 7. The ladies in attendance were each presented with a rose as a favor. This expression of sentiment during the last Arts dance of the year has been a tradition which has been observed for many years. By popular demand, Ilcrmie Kumcr was again engaged to play for the dancing. ‘Mid the simple decorations of ferns and palms, the happy crowd felt a sensation of melancholy as they realized that their last dance for the year was come to an end. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Drawing As we enter the portals of the College of Fine Arts Imilding we arc attracted to the beauty of the surroundings. It is in this environment that the night students come to learn and develop the various phases of the Arts. First we look in at the I.ittle Theatre, where the students of the Night Drama Department are in the midst of a rehearsal. In Drama the daily cares are forgotten, because in it the students have found a means of romantic relaxation. We leave the Little Theatre and walk up the stairs to the Mezzanine Floor, where we meet the music students. In sound-proof rooms the students are studying the instruments of their choosing. Still others are studying voice. In other rooms we see students learning the fundamentals of harmony and the elements of music. On up the stairs to the second floor, we come to tlu- Department of Architecture. There is a long room with many drawing tables, over which embryonic architects bend in diligent application to their current project or esquisse. In the far end of the room is a class in water color painting. YYe note the enthusiasm and freeness with which these students experiment in reproducing a scene in this medium. On the third floor we find students of the Fainting and Decorating Department. We enter one room in which the students are standing before easels, reproducing “set-ups” in charcoal. In another room we see more advanced students drawing in charcoal from life. On down the hall we come to the room occupied by students wholly interested in design and interior decoration. On the upper floor of this department. under a glass roof, we look in on students working in oil. Yc descend, and on our way out of the building we are attracted to the sculpturing room. Architecture CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Industries Night Okkickks OFFICERS: Cornelius A. Bijk'iiinoer, Pretideul; Frank A. Knuvx, Vice-Prerident; Lawrence .1. Becker, Secretary; IIeriieht B. Stone, Treasurer. In planning the social functions this year for the Night College of Industries, a special effort was made by the officers lo provide such functions as would assure the students a good time and an opportunity of becoming much better acquainted with one another, as well as to serve as a healthy means of relaxation from the all too-arduous routine of the normal course of study. The Social Calendar included two tine dances and a smoker, as has been the convention for the N ight Industries for many years past. At the Industries smoker, the incoming officers for the new year were elected. Because of the large number of people who evidenced a desire to attend the Night College of Industries Smoker, it was decided to hold the affair in the spacious Carnegie Gymnasium. This function took place on Saturday, October 20. An unusual and very interesting program was arranged for the election smoker, featuring the popular and nationally known Kiltie Band, with its extremely colorful and appropriate uniforms, and their significant belt buckles. These belt buckles, newly acquired this year, were designed by a student of the Night College of Fine Arts and donated to the members of the Kiltie Band by a student of the Night College of Industries. The extensive program also included a moving picture show, some snappy boxing and wrestling matches staged bv students of the Institute, and an amount of good fun and activity exchanged by many of the people attending the smoker, including, of course, a few s] eeches. During the course of the evening's entertainment large quantities of cigars and cigar- ettes were distributed. After the entertainment and the- business of electing officers was dispatched, a light lunch was served, which had the effect of making the evening a complete and pronounced success, as was expected. The second event on the Social Calendar of the Night College of Industries was a dance held in Thistle Hall on Saturday, January IB. Krnie Vagins and his orchestra furnished the very acceptable music. Streamers of papier mache, combining the colors of green and white, were draped artistically around the orchestra stand. This decoration was fronted by an appropriate design at the bottom of the stand, depicting the College of Industries as symbolized by an anvil, a hammer, and a gear. The third and last social function to lx sponsored by the Night College of Industries for the year 1933-34 was another dance. This dance was also held in Thistle Hall, on Saturday, April 21. By popular request, his music having been so satisfying at the previous Night Industries dance, Krnie Vagins and his orchestra again furnished the music. Due to the untiring and concientious efforts of the presiding officers, this last described affair wrote conclusion to one of the grandest and most successful social years the Night College of Industries has ever had the privilege lo enjoy. The officers should be heartily commended for their good work. It is sincerely hoped that their highly set precedents be continued in the years to come. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Carpentry Across the campus from I he College of Fine Arts, and on the left of the Quadrangle, is the College of Industries building. As we enter this, we feel an atmosphere symbolic of the power of Industry. Men who have developed a sense for technical and industrial education have come here to further develop their skill. Starting on the sub-floor, we enter the M achine Shops. Here, behind a maze of moving rotary drive leather belts, we see men working at lathes, fashioning steel and iron into tools and various other articles. To our right are the foundry and forge shops, where men are molding and shaping the iron and steel in other manners. On the first floor we acquaint ourselves with the building construction draughtsmen. These men are drawing plans of houses and details of the various parts of wood structures. We move on up the ball past the Tin Shop and Pat- tern Making Shop, the Advertising Design Shop, to the Printing Shops. In this section the students learn to set type, make layouts, operate mono- and linotype machines, and all kinds of presses. Resides the shops there are classrooms for supplementary lectures, and courses in mathematics and other technical subjects related to the industrial work which is studied in the department, t'p the stairs and on the second floor, we notice the Carpentry and Woodworking Shops. It is here that one interested in carpentry can learn about home construction. 1 he frames of small, table model houses are constructed to scale. Here also we find students interested in tui niturc building and cabinet making. While making this tour of the various shops, we notice everywheie the eagerness with which the students regard the do ing of their work. CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Engineering Nioiit Ofpiceiis OFFICERS: Rohkrt W. Laiih, President; W'ii.i.iam A. Vrnsku Vice-President; Aktiii ii ('. GniMM, Secrelari ; Tiiaudbi’s J. Wkrxkm, Treasurer. Iii conjunction with their natural duties as members of the Night Student Council, the officers of the College of Engineering of the Carnegie Institute of Technology annually conduct three social events for the enjoyment of the Night students oT Engineering. These functions take the form of three different types of affairs, one being a smoker, one a dance, and one a banquet. The purpose of the first mentioned function, besides being an ideal solution to the problem of a first-of-thc-year meeting for the Night Engineering students, is to elect officers for the new school year. The Night Engineering Smoker is always held on the second Saturday of the new term, and thus accomplishes the double purpose of a business and pleasure get-together. Always well attended, the Night Engineering Smoker is never complete without its traditional surprises and merriment to please the fancy of the Engineering student hodv. Cigars, noise-makers and other novelties are provided in addition to a most enjoyable show. The whole is capped hv a most appetizing lunch, which all, blended with the fine spirit of the evening, decidedly makes a bid for the name of the Night School’s climax to the social season, despite its early appearance on the calendar. The true feature of the evening, for all the entertainment furnished by the committee, is the election of officers for the year, which is conducted with keen interest on the part of the attendants themselves, with supplementary excitement accompanied by eloquent speeches from the aspirants and their friends. The second function of the year, the Christmas Dance, although its innovation as a traditional Night Engineers’ function is only three years past, has established itself permanently on the College's social calendar and has come into extreme popularity. This dance, held on the first Saturday of the Christmas vacation, was one full of color with Christmas decorations predominating. Coupled with the natural beauty of Thistle Hall, the atmosphere, as only Engineers may supply it, added to the gayety of the time and imbued those present with a happy spirit of Christmas. The dance affords the Night Engineers an opportunity to meet their friends and wish them a most pleasant Merry Christinas and Happy New Year. A third and final event which rounded out a well-ha lanced social calendar was the Engineers’ Banquet. The Nineteenth Annual Banquet held this year was one of the biggest ever to have been held. More than 250 students attended, and as a special treat the very popular Carnegie football coach, Howard llarp-ster. was the guest of honor. Other guests were Dr. Ihrig, I)r. Jones, Prof. I eighou, Mr. McKelway (famous for his stories), and the memliers of the Night Student Council. Past presidents of the College of Engineering were also there. 'l'he utmost in entertainment was provided. Noise-makers and useful novelties obtained from a number of manufacturers were distributed to the group. After the dinner and the speeches made bv the guests, a one and one-half hour floor show was put on. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Machine Shop Across the Quadrangle from the Industries building we go down some steps to enter the Engineering building on the sub-floor. Here we are attracted neither bv beauty nor the hum of industry. Future engineers hold sway in the many laboratories. We go down yet further, to the sub-sub-floor, where we visit the laboratories connected with the Civil and Mechanical Engineering Departments. In the Materials Testing Laboratories we are confronted by huge, somber machines. These powerful contraptions crush heavy blocks of concrete, tear asunder strong bars of iron, and test various other materials for strength. On the floor above we look in on the Hydraulic Laboratory. We see the students testing miniature dams and river locks. The operations arc very interesting, but we move on. Xearbv, in the Metallography Laboratory, we watch photographs being made on the surfaces of polished metal which have undergone various treatments. These experiments are conducted to determine the grain structure and physical properties of metals. On the main floor are located the Geology and Mineralogy Laboratories. In the Mineralogy Laboratory, amid cases of samples of minerals, ores, and met ids, we see the night students working experiments to learn the composition of the earth’s crust. In the Geology Laboratory, experiments are being conducted on the make-up of the earth’s surface. On the upper floors we come to the Chemistry and Physics Laboratories. Here we find complex experimentation going on with chemicals, light, heat, and electricity. We descend to the exit of the building, and direct our steps to Machinery Hull. Here we watch the students of Electrical Engineering running tests on !)-(' motors.

The Night Student Council awards to mcml ers of the night school three scholarships each year. A committee composed of the president of the Night Student Council and two members from each of the three night colleges—College of Fine Arts, College of Engineering and College of Industries—choose the recipients of these scholarships. To he eligible to participate for the award, a student must have completed at least two years of night school work and have carried at least six attendance hours per week, lie must also have taken part in the various activities sponsored by the Night Student Council. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of the combined scholastic standing, as recorded by the Institute, and the participation in extra-curricular activities. One scholarship is awarded to a memlter of the College of Fine Arts, one to a member of the College of Engi-neoring and one to a member of the College of Industries. The award consists of thirty dollars, which sum is equivalent to the minimum tuition fee for night students. An insignia award is offered by the Night Student Council annually to students for faithful work on its extra-curricular activities. The awarding of this insignia is based solely upon the activities of the student. The insignia is in the form of a key having for a background the Carnegie Plaid upon which are superimposed the letters C. I. T. and a crescent. The crescent signifies the night section of the institute. At the top of the key is a star, which is a point of merit to those students who have shown their interests in extra-curricular activities. At the bottom are two numerals which designate the year of the award. The first year award is a silver key, the second year a gold key, and the third year award is a gold key with a diamond setting in place of the star. After the third year, all succeeding awards are given in the form of an activities certificate which is handsomely engraved on parchment.

A Night School dull culled “Klanicht” was organized In 1 i)l(i to promote fellowship and sociability among the night students and to honor those men who had distinguished themselves in their school duties and pleasures. The founders of this club realized that if students are to continue through the many years re (piircd for part-time education, they must have some interest in school other than that supplied by their scholastic schedules. They tried to supply that inti-rest by encouraging and promoting extra-curricular activities for night students. Calls to “Klanicht” were given only to men who had previously shown an active interest in the Night School activities. In this way “Klanicht” supplied opportunities for students from the three night colleges to meet on a common social plane, and at the same time it established an objective to stimulate active participation in the social activities. In 1921 the name of the organization was changed to Phi Xu Fraternity, and under this name it has continued its active part in Night School activities. It has helped to secure social privileges and scholastic recognition for night students and has afforded its members fine opportunities for relaxation and pleasure among fellow students. The social activities eon-ducted bv the Fraternity at present arc varied and interesting. At least one affair is held each month during the school year, and a noonday luncheon is held once each week for those members who are employed in downtown Pittsburgh. During the school year 193U-!i-l Phi Xu extended an invitation to all night students to attend an open dance at Thistle Hall. This affair proved to Ik- a gala event and was so well received that the Phi Xu open dance will probably find a permanent place on the Night School calendar. Phi Xu has chosen as its official flower, the Pansy, and as its color, an appropriate midnight blue. It has a monthly publication. Phi Xu Xtics, which serves as an official organ and as a contact between active members and mi-mln-rs who are no longer in school. During the school year lOJUJ-.'H David O. Davis was editor of this paper. Phi Xu calls its members from the upper class students of the three night colleges of Carnegie Institute of Technology.

I'pon the extent of his efforts depends the success of the social calendar of the night student hody. Without a doubt the social season was an overwhelming success, particularly from the standpoint of attendance at the various functions. The social chairman has, as his aides, an assistant social chairman and a committee. The assistant social chairman, who is a member of night student council during his term as assistant, automatically Incomes the social chairman for the following year. He is then aided by an assistant, appointed from the membership of Council. This system is carried out so that at all times the social division is in contact with the governing body of the night school. This insures a social program that is in accord with the wishes of the Council. The social committee, too, is a well organized group, being composed of twenty-four members eight members each from the College of Fine Arts, College of Engineering, and College of Industries, the members from the individual colleges being chosen by the officers of their respective groups. As to duties, the social chairman and the assistant social chairman have full jurisdiction over all functions held bv the Night Student Council. They are required to plan each affair, make all arrangements for entertainment, and take charge of the functions as well as lay out the decorative schemes. Since the inception of the Night Student Council, four dances have each year I wen regularly sponsored bv the Council. These dances are the Thanksgiving Social Committee NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR Washington's Birthday ltccess Dance, tIn Post-Holiday Dance, the Washington’s HirtInlay Dance, and the Inter-Night College Dance. Besides depending on the dance as a source of social recreation for the night students, the Council depends upon the income derived therefrom to aid in defraying the expenses incurred in its operation. The Thanksgiving Recess Dance is scheduled to take advantage of the recess granted after the Thanksgiving holiday, and the spirit of that time becomes the theme of the decorations for the affair. 'Phis dance was held in the Men’s Gymnasium, which, by skillful decoration, was transformed into a veritable ballroom. A floodlight, suspended in the center of the hall, was the nucleus of the decorative scheme. A large circle of many small colored lights reflected their gay colors on to a ceiling of brightly colored crepe paper streamers. Will Hyshanck and his orchestra furnished some very enjoyable music for the affair. The music was transmitted through a complete public address system, so that it reached every corner of the spacious auditorium. This function was a great success and marked the revival of the night student body's interest in the recreational program of the Night Student Council. Following the Christmas and New Year's recess, the Post-Holiday Dance afforded the students an opportunity to spend an enjoyable evening together. 'Plus-tie Hall was the scene of this dance. An attractive, enlarged replica of the Night Student Council Insignia, mounted upon an easel in front of the orchestra stage and surrounded bv ferns, was the center of decorative attraction. Palms graced each corner of the hall, which added a touch of the natural to the softness of the scene. Ken (’arrow and his orchestra furnished the music for this gala occasion, with many popular selections from his radio album. 'Pile Council took advantage of the opportunity afforded by the Washington's Birthday holiday by presenting for the benefit of the student body the Washington’s Birthday Dance. This dance offered the students an evening of unsurpassed social recreation in a setting of decorations appropriately based on the principles of patriotism. Thistle Hull was very attractively decorated with the colors of Old Glory. Fortunately the committee was able to obtain silhouettes of George Washington which were copies of an adjudgedly authentic silhouette of our first and greatest President. Clusters of balloons filled every corner of the hall, and a star made up of balloons was suspended from the ceiling in the center of the hall. By popular demand, Ken Car row again furnished music for the affair. As the final event, the Night Student Council offered the Inter-Night College Dance. This dance was held on May 5, upon the completion of the night school final examinations. The function supplied the students with an opportunity to bid a fond and cheery farewell to their classmates and friends. The Council, wishing to climax a very successful social season and school year at the one time, featured Gordon Clark and his Pennsylvanians. 'Phis function served as a fitting end to the well-rounded social calendar of the Night Colleges. In view of the returning prosperity, larger groups displaying more pep and enthusiasm were in evidence at the social affairs than have been present for the past few seasons.

In order tlmt the Thistle may Ik representative of the entire school of Carnegie Institute of Technology, two men arc appointed by the president of the Night Student Council to edit the Night School section. These men act in their respective capacities as Night School Editor and Night Business Manager of the Thistle. It is the duty of these two officers to work in collaboration with the Day School Thistle Board to edit a section for the Night Students, who comprise almost half of the total student enrollment. So that this year’s night school section in the Thistle might be as large and complete as possible, a staff was selected to aid the Night Editor and Business Manager in compiling data for this book. These men and women of the staff are representatives from the three night colleges. Members of the staff have assisted very materially in the work of the taking of pictures, the sale of the Thistle. and the collecting of material required for the composition of the book. It is indeed gratifying to see the interest taken bv night students in night school matters and the willingness with which they will give a little time of the few hours spent at school to help put over projects undertaken in the interests of the night school. Each year the night school section of this book should be larger and more interesting than the preceding year. Realizing this, the staff has attempted to add new features and stress particularly the social side of the night school activities. If we have left with you in this book records that in years to come will aid you in recalling old friendships, activities and other pleasant memories, wc feel that our efforts have been rewarded. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR The Plaid OFKIC'KHS: Jamks II. Sansoxktti, Editor; Haiikoiji IS. McCJaxxox, ,Vw Editor; Gkorgk W. Vcsseia, Associate Sties Editor. I iitH the school term of Hie year 19 28-29 the official publication for the night school was known as “The Skiho.” Although this publication, issued semimonthly, was published and edited by the school authorities, it was nevertheless primarily intended to he the official organ for the night student body, containing news items of interest concerning the students in all the colleges. Representation on the Skiho Stall' was recruited from each course, as far as possible, in the three schools. This system, however, made a large and unwieldy staff. Needless to say this staff, despite its size, did contribute items of news that were of considerable interest to the student body. Through the kind cooperation of the school authorities the paper was mailed to all employers of the night students and thus served as a medium of acquainting those persons with the activities and purposes of the night school. The Skiho representative was more than just a “news hound,” for lie served as a class representative to assist and facilitate the workings of the Night Student Council. He thus acted in a dual capacity, as a news reporter and as a class representative. This work, as is the case today, secured an insignia award. A closer contact was sought for between the night students and the day students, and it was felt that by using the Tartan as a medium this end could Ik- accomplished. It was accordingly decided to contact the Tartan staff. A committee from the Night Student Council met with the staff heads of the Tartan and the administration and formulated a plan of action. An agreement was entered into with the Night Student Council and the Tartan whereby page three of the publication was assigned to the night school. To carry on the work of this newly organized page a staff composed of night students was determined upon. This staff was manned by an editor, a news editor, and three associated news editors. In order to distinguish the page from the regular section of the Tartan the title of “Plaid” was selected for the banner. The night page continues to he known by the “Plaid,” but in order to help the uniformity of the entire weekly the banner head has been dropped. The “Plaid,” appearing weekly, immediately justified all that had been predicted for it. It has served the night students in such a manner that it has now become indispensable. Through its columns the Night Student Council maintains a contact with the night student body that aids materially in its work and enables the council to better serve them. That this good work will continue there is no doubt. This year completes the sixth year of service to the night student body and it can he said that it has grown from an humble beginning to an indispensable adjunct of the Night Student Council.

TWICE within a year, both times in races supervised by A. A. A. officials, the Ford V-8 has proved its safety and dependability. In the 200-milc Elgin, Illinois.stock car racc.scvcn Ford V-8’s took the first seven places. Again in the 250-milc Gilmore Gold Cup Race at Los Angeles, the first ten places were taken by Ford V-8’s. Thereason for Ford superiority Is simple. Like a racing car it has positive mechanical brakes, a Torque-Tube Drive, strong radius rods to give you safer, surer steering and to keep the rear axle in perfect alignment. The car that holds the world speed record has all these features, including a V-typc engine. The Ford V-8 has a one-piece all-steel body, welded steel spoke wheels and safety' glass. It is a safer car to drive at ordinary speeds because its safety is constantly being demonstrated at above eighty miles an hour. Before you buy any car at any price, drive the Ford V-8.

But tonight, somehow, the others had withdrawn and left them—two alone on the broad stretch of green. He had seen her before, of course, in the crowd. Few had not seen and admired her incredible fairness. Once lie had brushed against her—and the remembered, quivering thrill of that contact startled him anew. Could nothing bring them together? He hesitated, but she remained motionless—waiting, perhaps—gleaminglv fair in the pale light. Then an impulse, a power greater than he. impelled him to her. And she waited, as dark and shining, he drew near. They touched—and with a soft, whispering sigh—they kissed. And parted each billiard ball plunking into a pocket. 10 THISTLE-PUPPET Compliments of ROY A.
