President J. C. Warner Upon the shoulders of President John C. Warner rests the progress of Carnegie Institute of Technology. He constantly strives to keep Tech moving toward the fulfillment of immediate and future aims. An academic balance between undergraduate and graduate programs and research. Dr. Warner believes, must be maintained in order for Carnegie Tech to remain an excellent school. But Dr. Warner knows too that we need improved conditions, and he is planning for such things as a new student union and a central library building. Although academic and financial problems loom large and important, Jake maintains a warm and personal interest in the student body. He hopes that college life at Tech v ill be just a beginning. After school days are over, interests in people, in the community, and in one's profession should grow. President Warner's accomplishments, among them his position as president-elect of the American Chemical Society, bear v itness to the soundness of his philosophy.
