2)4.. (loltesU . 2)oke Mf, Our president and able war leader, Dr. Robert Earnest Doherty, has ably guided the institute through its first year of peace. During the war the halls and campus of Carnegie Tech were strangely quiet, but today they are teeming with young men eager for a college education. Their desires are being realized because of the leadership of our president who knows of their past disappointments and their future aspirations through his close association with numerous war-time educational programs, such as the Consultative Committee on Engineering of the War Manpower Commission; the Civilian Advisory Council to the Military Training Service of the Ordnance Department; and the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, Engineering, and Science. He participated in many other beneficial endeavors too lengthy to mention. Now Dr. Doherty is working for the future. He has directed his efforts toward the building of a better Pittsburgh. Recognition of his ability was shown when he was appointed chairman of an organization that coped with post-war problems—the Allegheny Conference on Community Planning. His name is also prominent in the work of the city for our new Point Park. He is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania, and a director of the Forbes National Bank. His hobbies are painting and music, and exhibitions of his paintings have been held at Yale and Purdue, as well as at Carnegie Institute of Technology. Our institute is now among the first ranking schools in the country. We realize the skill and ability that our president employed in handling the affairs of this great institution. We feel fortunate that Dr. Doherty left his position as Dean of the School of Engineering at Yale in 1936 to come to Carnegie, and we arc proud to have him as our president. 19
