I M. I. T. AND SCIENTIFIC LEARNING PRIOR to the release of the vast amounts of scientific discovery made during the Second World War,the letters M. I. T. were vague and insignificant to most of us. It was a college of some sort devoted to spe- cialized work, but since its non-existent football team was not making headlines on the sports pages, people ignored it. Then suddenly the field of science burst open, the quantum theory became prominent and Einstein's theories on relativity and light particles took on new meaning. Al- most overnight, newspapers and magazines were featuring scientists and their discov- eries. Everywhere one looked, evidence of this renascence was visible, and the back- bone of this revival was centered around those three letters, M. I. T., which stand for the Massachusetts Institute of Techno- logy. If William Barton Rogers, the founder of the Institute, were alive, he would have reason to be proud, for, the prophetic vis- ions he had as a professor at the Univer- sity of Virginia about the enormous part that science would play in the advancing of human welfare, have come true. For near- ly adecade preceding the Civil War, Rogers had ideas for a great institute oftechnology. , is He decided that the most advantageous lo- cation would be Boston since, as he said, The people of Boston, because of their quick intelligence, would be most certain to derive the most benefit from a polytech- nic institution, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts granted Rogers the charter for the Institute in 1861, and from the begining he laid the foundation of the path of study which the In- stitute follows today--the advancement, de- velopment, and practical application of sci- ence as it is connected with art, agricul- ture, manufacturing, and commerce, Instilled with the pioneering work of its founder, The Institute has continued as a forerunner in the field of science. It intro- duced the laboratory method of instruction into education, and it virtually created the field of chemical engineering. Today, the Institute has moved out of Boston and across the Charles River to Cambridge. At this new location the Mas- sachus etts Institute of Technology continues to inculcate its students with the importance of character building and citizenship, that their purpose in life, if they are to follow the scientific field, is to better human wel- fare through these means,

My position really isn't that drastic, but one cannot be a burden upon his parents all his life. I am about to receive my diploma and to step out into this vast world of ours to make the important decisions myself, I'm not the only one who stands alone, but one of countless millions. I don't have to climb the highest mountain or swim the biggest ocean in order to be one of the few amongst the countless millions to be known byall. Ionly have to impress one persong I-le is God. Little do we know if what we plan in the near future will always turn out in our fa- vor. Sometimes we know with all our heart that what we planned so carefully should surely be right, and then without any reason at all our great hopes are let down. We can't stay down too long or we will find it much harder to get up. Idon't expect every- thing to turn up for my well-being, but I must learn to take it on the chin and make up for the losses in some way, Great scientists, who were hardly known when they first started out, had to face hard- ships and stand alone against obstacles and opponents who kept on trying to convince them that their job couldn't be done. The painstakingly advanced their scientists cause for the betterment of humanity un- recognized as something great. til it was Though I have no intention of trying to be a scientist, Iwill stand alone if necessary and fight for what I think is right.
