Pipe Fitting THEY l!() THE IK IVY IS T Ouch is the task of the Engineering College. u While only a young college in this young nation. Tech has won recognition and acclaim from all parts of the country as a leader. With the background of one war which it success' fully weathered, Carnegie now faces another major crisis. Although the nation has already drawn heavily from our numbers in faculty and students, we can expect without assuming a pessimistic attitude that more men will have to leave before the battle is won. But we have faith—faith and a courage in the knowledge that our policies will be established by men interested in Carnegie, not in insane world' conquering dreams. Their interest in Tech is not bound solely by Schenley, or Pittsburgh, or the United States. Their's is a rational and workable plan for the betterment of mankind throughout the world by education. Students remaining at Tech during the days of wide'seale draft campaigns are convinced that what Carnegie has to offer will equip them to lead men, to direct industry toward war effort, and to serve their country better than would be possible through hasty enlistments. With the counsel of an experienced faculty to rely upon, the future holds no terrors. Rolling Mill Materials Testing

nr hat Carnegie Tech is an alive and growing x institution is easily seen by walking through the halls where on all sides may be found evidence of Carnegie's part in making progress with and for the industrial world. Throughout its close contacts with key men in vital indus tries, Tech not only keeps informed and informs, but maintains a close working harmony which has kept a high placement record throughout the years. Machine tool manu' facturers and others have generously supported the school; without their cooperation in bring' ing us lecturers acquainted with field problems and contributing equipment, we would indeed have difficulty in keeping pace with the world.

BurcharJ. Hlattcr, Pitkin, Clec ton. Sterling Glenn U. Cleeton Head of Department of Printing A mid the clatter of machines and rumble of presses on the first floor of Industries Hall work a group of students who are unique among others studying printing. They are the only printing students in the United States who will obtain, upon graduation, a Bachelor of Science degree. This degree qualifies the graduate for a position in industrial printing which would formerly have required years of apprenticeship. The objective of the Printing Department is to prepare men for professional service in the graphic arts industries. Professional opportunity comes in the solution of prob' lems of design, production, marketing, and management. Consequently, in the course of study that is presented, the technical subjects studied relate to those four phases of the graphic arts. In addition, the students take sub' jects covering such underlying principles as civics, economics, and psychology. Since professional emphasis, rather than the vocational development of skill, is the main purpose of the depart' mental instruction, printing and related industries pro' vide numerous opportunities for careers for these college trained men. A recent survey among Carnegie Institute of Technology printing graduates shows that since 1913, when the department was first organized, ninety-two per cent are still engaged in printing or related fields. 30
