Book One of the 1944 Thistle comprises Administration, Departments, and Seniors. To the Administration is given the task of managing and keeping the college running smoothly. The students are usually unaware of the problems which this group faces. Howei'er, this fact adds to the laurels of the excellent organization of the Administration. It is only fitting, therefore, that we give due credit to the Administration of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The three colleges are subdivided into Departments. These will be explained in detail in this first book• The pictures of the Seniors complete Book One. In this section there are three groups of seniors; those who graduated in December, those who graduated in April, and those who graduated in August. The expedited program resulted in the speed-up of both the junior and senior classes. Thus, the August graduates left Carnegie Tech a year early. All these welbtrained men and women are the citizens of the future. BOOK ONE

'T'HROUGHOUT the past year our President, Dr. Robert Ernest Doherty, who came to Carnegie Tech in 1936 from his post as Dean of the College of Engineering at Yale University, has held several positions of high honor in national and community activities, in addition to directing quite ably the policies of this institution through perhaps its most trying days. Dr. Doherty has been and is one of the most outstanding leaders in the life of the Pittsburgh district, and also in the several prominent nation-wide organizations in the field of engineering education. Foremost in this list of local organizations is his position as Chairman of the Citizen's Sponsoring Committee, Allegheny Conference for Postwar Community Planning. The group consists of top civic leaders and has for its purpose the creation of a sound basis on which to build the life of the community amidst the problems of the postwar world. Also important are his honors as Director of the Forbes National Bank and the Montour Railroad Company, and Chairman and Member of the Pittsburgh Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Our President holds perhaps his most noteworthy position as President of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. The Society has for its purpose the furthering of the highest principles in the conduct of engineering education with respect to administration, curriculum, and teaching; and the maintenance of a high professional standard among its members. Among his other positions of national importance are memberships on the Advisory Committee of the Army Specialized Training Division and the National Advisory Committee on Engineering, Science, Management, and War Training. PRESIDENT R. E. DOHERTY
