AIEE As a result of an intensive recruiting campaign over the past twelve months, the A.I.E.E. and I.R.E. now represent about forty per cent of the juniors and eighty per cent of the seniors in the Electrical Engineering Department. The basic purpose of the student organizations is to develop an early interest in the national organization and thereby foster the students’ professional development. In addition to recruiting, the local group acted as host to twenty colleges in the 1949 Prize-Paper Competition, sponsored field trips and speakers, cooperated in the allschool open house, and published the departmental newspaper, Large Charge.” To round out the activities for the year, a smoker and a picnic arc being planned for this spring. ROW |—B. Honeb, G. AnJenon, . Maxlon. ROW 2—F. MoJsth, R. Rung, R. An-guish, M. Sly - As representative of Eta Kappa Nu, the honorary fraternity for electrical engineers, the Sigma Chapter began operations last fall with eleven actives. The first semester, a big stag smoker was held in the SAE house for members and prospective members. This function proved so successful, that it was used during the selection of men in the spring. For Homecoming, the actives and pledges worked with the A. I. E. E. to provide open-house displays for the alumni and interested visitors. On December 7, 1949, fifteen men were initiated after carrying out an extensive pledgcship complete with name tags and essays. Dr. R. E. Doherty spoke at the banquet about his industrial experiences. Richard Lyman was awarded a prize for his electrical name-tag and Frank Primozich won first prize for his essay on Meter Damage.” ROW 1 — D. Besumsrisge, D. Vtr Plsnck, E. SchafZ, R. MstbuI, G.

DEPARTMENT of ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BENJAMIN R. TEARE, Jr. FACULTY. ROW I B. Teare, c. Penny, E. Schatz, D. Beaumar- iFsnzi. ROW 2—W. CjyuooJ, R. Vn Nice, E. V Miami, G. Porter, H. McConnell. The school year 1949-50 found the Department of Electrical Engineering intent on its program of undegraduate study, graduate study, and research. Dr. B. R. Teare, Department Head, leads a faculty of fourteen in teaching and using the basic educational principles of Carnegie Tech in all three realms of education. In June, 1950, seventy seniors will be graduated from this department. Representing the large class of veterans who started at Tech in 1946, nearly forty per cent of these men arc married. The graduate school of the Electrical Department claims thirty-six students, about sixty per cent of whom obtained their Bachelor of Science Degrees from schools other than Carnegie. Research continues in such fields as magnetic amplifiers, servomechanisms, electronic motor controls, and much of the work done is on testing and developing of industrial apparatus. One new man, Mr. Clarence Jones, from the University of California, has been added to the faculty this year as an instructor in electronics.

The Department of Mathematics, under the capable direction Professor J. B. Rosenbach, has become one of the best centers of pure and applied mathematics in the United States and Canada. The Department, in addition to offering many required and elective courses, offers programs at the undergraduate level both in pure and applied mathematics leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, and programs of advanced study and research leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Science. This past year, especially, the Department has been unusually active. It has sponsored both an Undergraduate Seminar and a Graduate Seminar each of which met once a week. Each year, the Department invites one or two distinguished mathematicians as visiting professors. Those already in residence include such notables as Professor N. W. McLachlan of London, Professor F. D. Murnaghan of Johns Hopkins, Professor E. R. Lorch of Columbia, and Professor A. C. Schaeffer of Purdue. A single honor was awarded the Department when its team, consisting of G. L. Baldwin, R. E. Cutkosky, and R. M. Drisko, won third place in the national William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition.
