WORLD PRODUCTION ment as with pencil, paper, and slide-rule. They are production engineers, reared in the practical discipline of applied science. They have what it takes to make advances in science and industry. The class of ’43 is the first in the history of Carnegie Tech to have the benefit of four years of Social Relations, a course which will prove a valuable tool in dealing with tomorrow’s problems. Although few of them can be expected to be “social engineers,” all have had a thorough background that enables them to view the evolution of society with an experienced eye. But there is still a third side to the typical Tech engineer’s personality. More than ever before. Tech engineers are military engineers. Many of them have been R. 0. T. C. men for four years and will receive commissions in the Engineer Corps or in the Signal Corps after graduation. Others have joined the Naval Reserve and the Army Enlisted Reserve and will receive their commissions later as specialists. Even those who will be working in private industry cannot but concentrate upon the problems of winning the present war. Demonstration Power High Voltage Switchboards

ENGINEERS PACE to the technical problems of industry, they will be called upon to lend the full strength of their genius to crushing the forces ol totalitarianism and to making the future secure. They will find also that they must cope with social problems thatare evergrowing more complex. Fortunate it is for America that its future rests in competent hands. Carnegie Tech engineers arc thoroughly prepared for every challenge they will be called upon to face. The training they have received here during the past four years is the firm foundation upon which they will build that glorious world of tomorrow for which all peoples arc hoping. The engineers of the 1945 crop are the products of the most well-rounded education that four years can provide. They arc skilled technicians, as handy with laboratory equip- Close Work Chemist's Friends

Glen U. Cleeton 11 tad of Department of Printing DEPARTMENT OF PRINTING I IAT makes the Tech Printer a unique person- , ’ alitv? We think that it's partly because Carnegie l ech is the only college in the country that grants a Bachelor of Science degree in Printing and attracts students from all over the nation. 1 le receives well-rounded training in color and advertising design, mathematics, chemistry, physics, liberal arts courses, and laboratories in the varied techniques of printing production. He is a personality, not merely an educational phenomenon. If he is a genuine Printer, he is probably on the staff of at least one campus publication, is an active member ol his dorm or fraternity, looks with contempt upon those hard working engineers who seem to think that studies are more important than social life, and is sure that when he graduates he will get a better job than any one else in his class. And why not? I le’s a I ech Printer! 2X G. U. Cleeton. H. K. Sterling, C. W. Pitkin, G. F. Henman, K. R. RurchnrH.
