1 THE THINKER Back of the beating hammer By which the steel is wrought, Back of the workshogzfs clamor The seeker may find the Thought, The Thought that is ever master Of iron and steam and steel, That rises abofue disaster dad tramples it under heel! The drudge may fret and tinker Or labor with dusty blows, But back of him stands the Thinker, The clear-eyed man who Knows,- For into each plow' or sabre, Each piece and part and whole, Must go the Brains of Labor, Wlzicli gifves the work a soul! Back of the motors humming, Back of the belts that sing, Back of the hammers drumming, Back of the cranes that swing, There is the eye which scans them Watching through stress and strain, There is the Mind whieh plans them- Back of the brawn, the Brain! Might of the roaring boiler, Force of the engine's thrust, Strength of the sweating toiler, Greatly in these we trust. But back of them stands the Schemer 4 The Thinker who drives things through, Back of the fob-the Dreamer Wlzo's making the dream come true!

BIUGRAPHY OLIN GARFIELD FINK was born in New Jersey, December 31, 1881. Grad- uating from Columbia College in 1903, Dr. Fink then spent four years in the Ostwald Research Laboratories of the Universitv of Leipzig, receiving his degree of Doctor of Philosophy, with highest honors, in 1907. Returning to America, Dr. Fink joined the research staff of the General Electric Company at Schenectady. He is the originator of the ductile tungsten lamp filament used all over the world. He is also the inventor of the copper-clad nickel steel leading-in wire used as a substitute for platinum in lamps, radio tubes, etc. ln 1917 he became the head of the new research laboratories of the Chile Exploration Company, New York. He invented the insoluble anode, chilex, in operation at the great plant at Chuquicamata since 1922. ln 1922 Dr. Fink was called to Columbia University and has since then been in charge of the Division of Electrochemistry. At Columbia he has devoted most of his attention to researches in electrodeposition of chromium aid tungsten, the restoration of ancient bronzes, and the corrosion of metals and a oys. The entire chromium plating industry throughout the world is built up on Dr. Fink's basic inventions. lt is difiicult to estimate the economic importance of Dr. Finkls discoveries and inventions. The various improvements in the manufacture of the incandescent lamp and radio tube resulted in a financial return to the General Electric Company to such an extent that for almost ten years the lamp profits represented 70 per cent to 82 per cent of the total net profits of the company on all types of apparatus. The leading-in Wire invention alone meant a saving of over 337,000,000 to the General Electric Company at the end of the first year of the wire's introduction into practice. ln the case of the Chilex Anode the saving in power resulting from the intro- duction of the new anode made the existing power plant able to take care of increased tank house production, saving several million dollars. The cost of anode mainte- nance was reduced by about 90 per cent, saving in addition about 31,000,000 per year. This is a brilliant example that foresight in research often pays handsomely. Dr. Fink's process for the restoration of ancient bronzes is used all over the world. The Fink electrochemical process for the restoration of ancient bronzes has been in regular use at Field lVIuseum in Chicago for more than Hve years. This process, which was first developed by Professor Colin G. Fink at Columbia University for the use of the Nletropolitan lVIuseum of Art, has, in the laboratories of Field Nluseum, proved Safe, simple and easily applied. The Fink process reverses corrosion by electrolytic methods. It reduces the oxidized copper minerals of the incrustation to metallic copper. ' Dr. Fink is past president and now secretary Csince 19215 of The Electro- chemical Societyg honorary member of Tau Beta Pig fellow of the American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Scienceg Editor of Tungsten, lVIineral lndustry, Editor of 'lElectrochemistry, Chemical Abstracts, American Chemical Societyg Contributing Editor to The American Year Book QChapter on Electrochemistryjg lVIember of the Hoover Dam Committee, Charman of the Committee on Electro- chemistry for the Chicago 'lCentury of Progress. Dr. Fink- is also a member of the A. C. S., A. l. Nl. Nl. E., and the Am. lnst. of Chemists. Fifve A CHANGING WORLD DEAN JOSEPH XV. BARKER EOLOGISTS and astro-physicists have written the stories of the slow, ceaseless changes which occurred ' in the prehistoric ages of this planet. Their stories run into the period of recorded history and then the historians i take up the task of tracing the accel- erating pace with which our civilization has developed. This World of ours is ever-changing and constantly evolving, but I think it is safe to say that at no time has the rate of change been higher than today. We are living through a critical period, torn by -an extremely -ef severe business crisis, wearied by unsolved problems arising from the cataclysm of the VVorld War and its aftermath and harassed by the uncertainties of political and social upheavals. Your class is leaving the University atmosphere, relatively calm, sedate and unhurried, and entering a rough, struggling and Hustered world of industry just at the turn of the ebb tide. The storms of the past three years have strewn the waters with wreckage and flotsam both material and human. The waves are running high and many of the recognized marks on our charts have been destroyed or altered. Truly this promises dangerous and diflicult navi- gation. The mariner who carelessly dismisses the dangers and, without precautions, sails in such an abating storm is inviting troubles and possible shipwreck. Are there any lessons we can draw from the experiences of the past three years? I think there are, although it must be said that it is extremely difficult to evaluate accurately the damage while the storm is in progress. DEAN BARKER l believe we engineers have recognized theimportance of evaluating new methods and new processes in terms of social as well as economic factors. Our attention has been turned as never before to the extreme importance of securing a proper balance of social, economic and scientific factors. We are turning toward a scientific manage- ment which recognizes the social as well as the economic phases of a cooperative society. Everyone is thinking in terms of some sort of a governing device. just now that the social machine is running at a subnormal speed, we want a governor which will bring us up to rated speed. Qur big problem as engineers is to help in the design of such a governor and to make it as nearly foolproof as human nature will permit. The world would readily install such an equipment now but would almost as readily scrap it whenever the device tended to prevent a super-normal speed. As a mob we love higher and higher speeds until a crash comes, and then we look about for someone or something to blame. A ready and open mind for all our problems is the ideal of an engineer. We should never hesitate to apply decelerating means whenever speeds tend to go into the Danger Zone. At the same time we must not become ultra-conservative to the point where we would be willing to retard progress for the sake of uniform speed. This business world is indeed a rough hurly-burly and many of you are going to find it extremely difficult to keep your heads above water for a year or so. I caution you but I donlt pity you. I reserve my pity for the middle-aged person who let himself get into an easy rut, died mentally and rested on his oars only to have the storm spew him onto the sands broken and nearly useless. Are there lessons to be learned? Yes, but you'll no longer have professors to assign them. l've touched on only one, are you ready to recognize and study out the others for yourselves?

SIEGER COLUDIBI.-Y ENGINEER ST.4FF Siegel' Gloster Lzzdemarz Queneau I-larritzgton Olrtad E D I T O' R I A L THE ENGINEER AND PUBLIC OFFICE HE YOUNG engineering graduate of today enters a very bewildering world- a world torn with dissension and in a state verging on chaos. The question that forces itself on the minds of everyone is Whither Mankind ? Are we witnessing the rapid decav and disintegration of our VVestern Civilization, or are we merely in a turmoil Caused by the inherent defects of our present system? If signs do not deceive us, the near future will bring vast social changes. Whether these changes will be of an evolutionary or of a revolutionary nature depends largely upon the rising generation. A The engineer, up to the present, has paid little attention to the realm of public affairs, but has preferred to center his energies upon his own particular profession. However, the troubled days of the future will require leadership by men of no mean calibre. The young engineer is well fitted to play an important role in the control and guidance of our common destiny. The theoretical and practical training of the engineer both tend to prepare and develop him for public office. The advantages of an engineering training, in regard to preparation for public service, have not yet become universally known or accepted. Probably an important reason for the present small number of engineers in public life is the comparative youth of engineering as a profession. It was not until the last century, with the advent of our present industrial civilization, that engineering Tfwenty-four The 1933 COLUZVIBIA ENGINEER assumed a position of paramount importance. For centuries law, and to a lesser degree the army and business, have been the professions that have provided the nations of the world with public servants. As the science of engineering becomes more mature, its advantages are becoming more apparent. Undoubtedly a steadily increas- ing number of the men in public life will have had the benefits inherent in an engi- neering education. The qualities that should be possessed by men in public life -are many and varied. The more important ones are honesty, intelligence, courage, and leadership. This quadrumvirate of virtues is unfortunately rarely concentrated in one individual. Any training that will help develop these qualities in the youth of the nation is the type of training that will produce distinguished citizens. Honesty is a characteristic which must be possessed by those aspiring to success in the engineering field. The forces of nature obey exact and unyielding laws which cannot be deceived or disregarded. Only by strict and rigid compliance with these laws can the engineer expect to be successful. Honesty in one's work tends to build an honest mind and to insure personal integrity. This requirement of intellectual honesty in the engineering profession fulfills one of the obligations of the citizen in public office. lt is highly questionable whether certain other professions tend, in like degree, to develop that vital and essential virtue-honesty. Without intelligence, the public servant is very severely handicapped. The com- plexity and difficulty of the many problems confronting men in public life require a high grade of intelligence in order that these problems may be successfully solved. An alert mind and clear, reasoning powers are of more than ordinary importance. Engineering being a highly advanced science, satisfactory application of its many phases exacts clear thought and a keen mind. Engineering tends to train the mind of man so that it can tackle and solve very involved problems, and induces logical mental processes. Courage, in its many forms, is a quality that comparatively few possess. It is however a virtue that is not necessarily ingrained in the individual, but is a quality that may be developed. The strains and temptations of high ofhce demand a tre- mendous amount of courage from those in public life. Engineering helps to develop courage in that the members of the profession must stand irrevocably by their own decisions, -and must also undertake vast projects in the face of seemingly insuperable odds. It seems very evident that one of the main underlying reasons for the present low state of World affairs, is the surprising and fatal lack of honesty of manv of those in positions of power and responsibility. The moral Courage that is one of the primary qualities of the true engineer, would undoubtedly prove to be an extremelv valuable asset. The importance of leadership ability to men in public life cannot be overesti- mated. The ability to handle men and to obtain their cooperation is of vital im- portance, since if leadership is lacking, the efforts of those in command for the public good may come to naught. A capacity for handling men is one of the characteristics of the successful engineer. From the very nature of his work, the engineer comes into intimate contact with the many strata of our social order, and he also has to adapt himself to widely varying conditions. A leader should be able to speak before large audiences and to obtain their support by the power of his oratory. Unfor- tunately, the engineer has little opportunity to obtain experience in public speaking, but this lack should be remedied whenever the opportunity presents itself. Qur present civilization, in its confused and disheartening condition, will have to depend more and more upon public officials to cordinate and rebuild our present system. There is no class of men more eminently fitted for this reconstruction than the modern engineers. As the young engineers of today, it is to be hoped that we will develop into the leaders of tomorrow.

AN ENGINEER AND HIS HOBBY COLIN G. FINK T IS an interesting fact that many of our most prominent and successful engineers have at the same time been ardent pursuers of a hobby-a recreation or avocation that often occupies not merely so-called 'lspare time, but a very large fraction of the day, this fraction usually increasing as the years go by. Offhand, one would be inclined to advocate against diverting so much attention to matters outside of one's regular vocation or profession, and yet experience has shown that the pursuit of the hobby was not only not a hindrance to the engineerls advancement, but was actually a stimulus or necessity. Without a hobby, no really successful engineer. There is this constant danger of growing stale when we apply ourselves too assidu- ouslv to our chosen profession, and never afford the mind the necessary and stimu- lating periods of relaxation of the right sort, which a sensible hobby alone can give. ln riding a hobby we are so utterly free from nervous strain and anxiety. No manager worries us about increasing production and lowering costsg no board of directors forever requests a detailed monthly report, no competitor threatens openly or otherwise to send us to the poorhouse, no legal adviser urges suit against our infringers. Our hobby is our own in its entirety-to do with as we see fit,-to nurse it patiently and to enjoy its healthy growth, or, if we must occassionally, to neglect it entirely and without anxiety, certain at all times that our hobby is ever ready to welcome us with a smile whenever we find a minute, or an hour, or a day to devote to it. An engineer with a live hobby is invariably an optimist. Granting, then, that an engineer must have a hobby to be happy, what shall he choose? Professor K. Finch has one of the finest and rarest historical col- lections of glass Hagons and bottles, some hundreds of years old and many of rare beauty of design. I. H. lVIorecroft is an expert apiarist and disciple of Maeterlinck. Tfwenly-eigfzt The 1933 COLUMBIA ENGINEER VVilliam Campbell is a philatelist and prominent member of the Numismatic Society. A. W. Hixson is a horticulturist, and so is D. D. Jackson, specializing in roses. Outside of our own faculty, there is VV. R. VVhitney of Schenectady who has a turtle farm. He has been making a scientihc study of various turtles, their feeding and breeding habits, the secrets of the hibernvating period, etc. H. E. Howe of Washington is an iris fiend. His garden holds almost a thousand different varieties, German and Spanish and Japanese. R. B. Moore of helium fame was a landscape painter, and so was Ostwald, the elder. The chief engineer of the ul. G. has the most complete collection of cacti, and not dried and mounted, but living and thriv- ing, a special soil and special treatment for each class or specie. Graham Bell took a keen fancy in raising sheep and, in particular, in making two sheep grow where only one grew before, to use his own words. His experiments, by the way, were carried out twenty miles from the nearest telephone. E. F. Northrup, inventor of the high frequency induction furnace, raises quail, making a scientihc study of the effects on growth of different foods, and a different environment. The choice of .a hobby appears to be almost without limitations. And why not golf? lndeed, golf is one of the best hobbies for engineers, except that it is possibly too strenuous for an engineer whose particular branch of the profession keeps him outdoors all day. VVhat hobby shall we choose? Uusually the choice is made more or less accidental- ly, but there are a few com- mon -sense suggestions worth noting. Our hobby should give us what is commonly termed a complete change in en- vironment, in occupation and, in particular, in subject or theme. lf our job keeps us indoors all day, then by all means let us choose an outdoor hobby. Furthermore, as engi- neers we will usually be hap- pier with a scientific hobby than with one selected among the fine arts. If our daily work taxes our eyes, then let us select a hobby that will rest our eyes. Most important of all, the hobby must fascinate us, and not only ourselves, but our better half as well. ln conclusion, we must not overlook a most important benefit derived in cultivating a good hobby. It is what we might term old-age insurancef' When we have passed our six- tieth birthday, we may become tired of building bridges or dynamos, but we will never grow tired of our pet hobby.

We find con- tempt for the machine, ascribing to it all the ills of scientific materialism while others dream of a technological civilization dedicated to the Baconian philosophy of Fruit, In all this conflict of ideals and interests, there has been a concentration of atten- tion- which We as engineers take both as a compliment and a responsibility. But having been recognized as men who do things, let us not so forsake the fundamental principles of our training, our common sense and practicality as to enter into the fields of prophecy and conjecture lending support to bootstrap panaceas. The mis- fortunes and uncertainties of the present are due largely to a Lack of coordination. That the forces of science, economics .and politics have not been synchronized has been forcefully demonstrated. Does it not appear that the hope for a solution of our common problem lies in cooperation? If the engineer contributes his talent to the building of a more durable social structure, surely he Will retain the confidence born of his past accomplishments. But what are your-prospects? If you are what your tutors think you are, your opportunities for service will be greater than any who have gone before you. The Thirly The 1933 COLUIMBIA ENGINEER need for men trained to build upon the experiences of the past with imagination and clear thinking far exceeds the supply. Possessed of enthusiasm, capability and justified hope, do not sacrifice the spirit which has carried you to the ranks of your profession by taking too seriously the wailing of the pessimist. Yes, this world has been going to hell for a long time but should it reach that destination, we can confidently expect that our arrival will not be without some consolation. Surely the M. Efs would be at home with the opportunities for heat transfer, the C. Efs would bridge and dam the bottomless chasms, the E. Efs would illuminate the lower regions, while the lVIet. Efs are so experienced that thev would be there four days before they knew it, and the substitutes produced by the Ch. Efs would bring joy to the devil himself. Thanks to the engineer, it would soon be a privilege to go to hell. Success in life's Work depends much upon the unit of measurement but a great part of our happiness is derived from doing well the things which We like best to do. The assets which you carry away with you consists of the demonstrated capacity to think and that something called it, This quality which will distinguish you from all others will assert itself through your enthusiasm, the will to do little things in a big way, your inflexible honesty and above all the determination to be yourself. The imitator, the Udiplomatl' and the yes-man soon loses his identity. Insofar as you strive to contribute your mite of genius, your originality, will you avoid mental standardization. Be yourself!

SLICH-TER HE YOUNG MAN who graduates this year probably feels, and with some rea- son, that he is in hard luck because he will have great diH'iculty in obtaining a position and may have to Wait some time for a job, but will then get started on an upswing which will carry him forward with increasing activity for some time. The Writer is peculiarly fitted to sympathize with these men because his college period coincided With a similar business depression which caused him to extend his university training over eight years Waiting for an upswing in busineis conditions and preparing himself for more valuable Work. This preparation included one year in a business school which has proved to be far from the least valuable part of the training. It is probable that the graduate of this year will, in the future, 'consider the present difhculties as one of the best experiences he has had. A consideration of our present difficulties should render him immune from many of the follies, weaknesses and false reasoning of the past Eve years and enable him to avoid disaster in the next similar period which is likely to come when he has much more at stake to lose than at present. lt should be noted that now, as in 1893, there are still many businesses in sound financial position, and many men still gainfullv occupied.i It should be noted that the men and businesses in trouble are in general those of a speculative tendency, those always thinking of the dollar or stock values while those who have steadily kept their minds upon doing something Worthwhile and doing it better than anyone else are still doing business. The operating companies of the public utilities are doing a business only 10 per cent less than normal, are making money and supplying service. Their Stocks Thirty-tfwo The 1933 COLUJVIBIAI .ENGINEER are quoted high. But the public utility 'lholdingu companies are in a very bad way. In many cases these were organized simply to make money out of the growing popu- larity of the electric light and power business and did not render society a sufficient service to give them economic justification. The young man of today will find it to his advantage to learn as much as possible about the causes leading up to the present business conditions and this knowledge may be as important an asset as his engineering training because too many engineers are handicapped by an ignorance of business. It is going to be more true in the future than in the past that the majority of young engineers should avoid too great a specialization. But by this term is meant specialization of intellectual interest rather than work, as it is likely that the early years of his employment will be along narrow lines. He should keep his mind open by studying other things in order to be able to take advantage of any unexpected opportunity that presents itself. lVIost advances and promotions result from chance opportunity. There is not one man in ten, and not one in a hundred among the more successful, who continue in a definite specialty in business concerns. To be a success a young man will have to know much other than engineering and among the most important subjects are economics and business, the fundamentals of economics. Very few even among the business men and bankers do. The funda- mentals of economics are more easily appreciated by one who has studied engineering. There is the law of conservation of energy and there is the law that you cannot get something for nothing. There are devices which appear to contradict each of these, for a time, but after a time lag the law asserts itrelf. Many thought, in the recent past, that this law had been repealed. But it had not. It is said of the game of bridge that after 500 deals all luck averages out and the best player wins. Years ago the manager of the large plant in which the wri.ter was employed stated that after ten or eleven years of work each man gets just about what he is worth although in shorter terms other things like favoritism and luck play a part. But there is a time lag which puts a burden on one's patience.

We are gradually emerging from the period of private enterprise to enter the era of public enterprise Centerprise in the public interestj. This change is forced upon us because we have altered the methods of converting the natural resources into commodities and services, and by this change have altered the relative claims of labor and capital to share in the goods produced. Coincident with the changes in processing through which manpower is being displaced by machine power, and interest charges seem to be increasing over wages, we have built up an aggregate of specialized functions in the business process and have operated them as independent functions without regard to their interdependent relationships. Our credit-capital systems-our manufacturing industries-our distributing agencies have grown up as institutions competitive among themselves and Without due regard to the foundations of social well-being upon which their existence de- pends. We are learning that an aggregate of operations is not an orderly system and cannot be maintained in balanced harmony. The social wastes of our present practices cannot be corrected by waiting for what many believe to be natural eco- nomic laws to have their effect. Social conditions result from social practices and when these practices are changed there follows a change in social conditions. Our minds have been conditioned to accept the recurrence of periods of depres- sion, misery, and want as natural and inevitable. People once looked upon devas- tating plagues as phenomena of the same character. Thirty-four The 1933 COLUMBIA ENGINEER The Department of lndustrial Engineering is endeavoring to find certain facts concerning the processes of production, distribution, and consumption, and to define those procedures in the organization and management of business institutions founded upon these processes, which will result in maximum accomplishment at minimum social cost. . Our studies to date indicate that some of our basic industries have passed the inflection point in growth and are approaching a growth in proportion to population. If the relative claims of labor and capital in both manufacture and agriculture are altered in favor of lowering the fixed debt burden, it is not at all unlikely that industry may experience a healthysecond growth, limited, of course, by the avail- able resources upon which such growth also depends. If We are to avoid the serious consequences of depressions in the future, we must also avoid those periods of expansion which precede depressions. This may be done if We inform ourselves of the natural laws of social growth and are guided by them. Cooperative action must take the place of competitive action as we enter the era of public enterprise. ln this new social era which seems to be demanded, the engineer will find abundant opportunities for social usefulness if he will equip himself properly. Not only must he be informed on machinery and devices, but he must also have an understanding of the economic and social forces which condition the Well-being of society. He must view his problems in broader perspective and enlarge his horizon of interest. He must not only concern himself with building the machine but also with gearing the machine to the whole social mechanism. He must be prepared to do his part in preparing the designs and specifications for more durable and more stable economic and social orders.

INTROSPECTION XV. A. SHOUDY F WE HUNT with care, we can find not a few blessings resulting from these years of financial distress. One of these is the time given us to study the past, and to carefully scrutinize all those practices which have become our daily habit. Some of these are founded on sound principles, but many have their sole basis in custom, and when we are busy, we are prone to accept custom without careful scrutiny. One of these practices is that of giving advice to graduating classes, but it is doubtful whether a representative of a passing generation can advise the members of a gen- eration whose future offers accomplishments not yet dreamed of. The best that we of the faculty can do is to relate the accomplishments of our generation, and the steps that led to these accomplishments, and to hope that you will avoid the errors that we have committed. ' lt has been the privilege of the engineer to have been the pioneer in improving the physical condition of the human race. He has not always been known by that name but his accomplishments have been essentially engineering accomplishments. Sometimes he has been merely the lceenest mind in the tribe, as was the man who first appreciated the relationship to the heat of friction and the production of fire. Sometimes he has been called the architect, who recognized the engineering prin- ciples that permitted the piling of stones into an arch, or a dome, for a roof. Some- times, the priest whose only outlet for an inquiring mind was the mystification of the people. Today it is the habit to criticize the machine age. It is no new age. It began when the Hrst savage used a piece of broken flint to shape his arrow, or used a round stone to grind his corn. Since that time man has been actively hunting for Thirty-six The 1933 COLUIVIBIA ENGINEER new machines to make better arrows or to make them more quickly, to grind his corn with less human effort, to provide better housing and clothes and to give his family more leisure for cultural activities. Each inventor has met active competi- tion, and misunderstanding and misuse of his machine. The arrow, invented for protection and for food supply, was copied by neighboring tribes and became a means of warfare. Fire invented for food preparation became a source of destruction and an arm of war, but later became our chief source of power. The early house became a fortress and a temple of mysticism though now it has become a shelter or a hall of learning. ' During the past 150 years we have had at our command an almost unlimited Source of power. For the first 100 years that power could be used only where it was generated. Consequently our factories became concentrated nea.r coal mines or water powers and living conditions in these congested areas became intolerable. The machine that should have added to the comfort of the race was misused for the exploitation of labor and the increase in human suffering. The steam locomotive and railroad transportation somewhat lessened these evils but it was not until power could be transmitted by electricity that any chance of improvement was possible. For the last 50 years electric power has been available to any community that would pay the cost. The atmosphere of the cities has been improved, manufacturers have moved to less congested districts, the old shafting and belts have disappeared and the factory building is rapidly becoming a cheerful and healthy structure. But again this gift of the engineer has been misunderstood and misused, and we find ourselves in a period of human suffering brought on by the exploitation of the machine instead of its intelligent use. Yet in spite of this misuse, the average of culture and bodily comfort is far higher than in any period of the past. This experience has taught us that the effect on the man behind the machine, and upon the public consuming its products, should be the guiding principle in the engineer's efforts rather than the invention or exploitation of the machine itself.

READ RACTICE in the writing of messages to a graduating class often seems to favor the adoption of a waggish air, perhaps as a relief from the almost incredibly solemn adjurations, Cto be found even in the rituals of the honor societiesj to the general effect that the faculty are really the students' best friends, instead of their oppressors and adversaries. VVhy it should be assumed that the latter view is one Widely entertained by students has never been clear. ln my undergraduate days the typical college student of the cartoonists and humorists, who spends his energies in trying to attain passing grades Without really learning anything, was almost as rare as a wild goose, if indeed he had ever existed in considerable numbers. Nor has his frequency apparently increased. ' The astonishingly large proportion of Colum- bia studentsgwho are working to contribue to their support while in college is the best possible evidence that they are really here to learn. While they may have definite opinions as to how efficient mechanisms their instructors have been in carry- ing out that purpose, they are not likely to regard them as adversaries, nor to need any parting suggestion to the general effect that, after all, we were just a bunch of good fellows together, and while you perhaps did -not enjoy the enforced association very much at the time, you will eventually come to look back on it with a good deal of pleasure. ' A Rejecting, then, the waggish approach in a farewell salutation, may l agree that you probably will look back on your years here as pleasant ones, and suggest a seldom noticed underlying reason for that feeling. The most difficult of all human problems is to know what to dog how to do it, after you have once decided' upon it, may call for ingenuity and long-continued effort, but it is a rather pleasant form Thirty-eight The 1933 COLUJICIBL4 ENGINEER of endeavor, While making a decision often involves tremendous nerve strain. You came here in accordance with a decision that circumscribed your activities for .a period of years, you depart into a life where decisions may require making, and re-making, at frequent intervals. Within the limit of our abilities We have been trying to help you prepare to make wise decisions, that will Work out satisfactorily for you and yours. College might be likened to the training period of a fighter, and life afterward to an unending series of bouts. We hope you will win oftener than you lose. No one can look upon the World today and fail to observe that men have made much more progress in learning how to do things than in deciding what to do. As a specific example, business men and engineers combined have set up means of produc- tion that seem far beyond our capacity to distribute and exchange their products, though the people of the world are still far from having all they want or need of those things. Somebody ought to do something about it is a natural reaction, but the question is what to do? I would not for a moment suggest that the world is to be remolded nearer to our heart's desire by engineers Who, having been so successful in finding out how to do things can now turn to the problems of finding out what to do in the con- fident expectation of equal success. But I do want to point out that human progress up to novv has mostly resulted from individuals deciding what they ought to do, and then doing it. A large and vocal group now tells us that While that procedure Works well in a simple civilization it breaks down in the complicated one that has gradually arisen. We are invited to try instead a scheme in which all-Wise central planning boards will decide for us what we ought to do. Skeptics point out that central planning led to reclaiming the arid lands of our West but ended in a situation where farmers cannot make a living even on land that did not need to be reclaimedg central planning led to the promoting of agricultural production and now finds itself confronted with the problem of huge surpluses of agricultural products. Years ago We had a professor of mechanics Whose favorite expression was I can't think with your head. Instead of believing that we can safely pass our decisions on to planning boards, I am convinced that the World situation today is the result of too narrow rather than too wide a distribution of the responsibility for making decisions- fclozztizzzzed on page 562 DOWN UNDER ORE DRESSING Thiriy-nine CULTY Q SA 1 W, 44 W' , 1' 2 5 I l 0 7 ff I V N47 msgif 9 et I I I j Q .W ffilw 77?

BERKEY F LATE YEARS Geology has be- come in part an Applied Science. Geologists serve as advisors in many helds of practical endeavor, but the principal service is in mining and certain other engineering undertakings. The principal reason for calling a geologist into consulation in connection with engineering projects is because he is expected to judge better than others the character and structure and physical condition and probable behavior of the ground. If the geologist has special com- petence, or has a knack for practical problems, he can contribute something to understanding of the actual physical conditions that have to be met. Such understanding is now considered of vital importance and consequently the de- mand for the advice of a specialist has become more and more insistent as en- gineering structures have increased in size. Features and conditions which in the case of small structure might be ignored, may in the case of large ones introduce difficult and unwarranted expense, or actually endanger the stability and safety of the structure. Kerr, Berleey, .4gzlr A reliable judgment of the expectable reaction to the new conditions to be imposed by the engineering development is an essential element in deciding upon the design and method of construction of many such works, and there is no substitute for this kind of information. Almost anything can be done if the conditions to be met are accurately known. In former times, before the era of buildings a thousand feet high, bridge spans half a mile long, and dams impounding waters that flood a whole valley for a hun- dred miles, it was practicable for the engineer of experience to judge geologic fea- tures himself. That day has gone for good, and there are just two reasons for the change,-first, greater economy in handling projects when all of the conditions to be met are understood, and second, the public demand for safety. Experience shows that failure is not uncommon where critical conditions are not understood, and that it costs more to find them out that way. It is not surprising, therefore, that in many states now such structures as dams must have authoritative approval. The major question presented in most of these cases is whether the proposed structure will be safe. There is no magic or peculiar insight attached to this kind of service. The geologist is not to be credited with unusual powers. He is a very matter-of-fact individual and his method is virtually always the same. Critical observations have to be made and the known fact have to be interpreted in the practical terms required bv the problem in hand. If the evidence is not sufficiently clear, no amount of speculation, or bluster, or personal inHuence, or salesmanship will do.

Perhaps the first modern engineering school was that established in 1702 at Freiberg in Saxon, Germany, as a consequence of the mining revival which had begun there in the late Renaissance. Even earlier, in 1660, Riquet in France undertook to establish a school to train men for his famous Canal du Midi, but the greatest of modern engineering schools was the famous French Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees, or School of Bridges and Highways, established under Trudaine in 174--l-. This great school is of interest to all engineers and of particular interest to American engineers for our earlier American engineer- ing schools, reflecting the liaison of the Revolution, were patterned largely on the French plan. The Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees was developed and grew largely under the able directorship of the famous stone bridge expert, Perronet. VVith the French Revolution, however, there came a glorification, almost a deification, of science and the famous old school was all but absorbed in the new movement. Scientific men rather than engineers had control. France lost the unquestioned engineering lead- ership she had enjoyed to the Great Britain of Watt, Telford, Rennie, and the Stephensons. Nevertheless, up to this period, engineering had been almost entirely an art and these French scientific-engineering teachers of the hrst years of the Nine- teenth Century-men like De Prony, Navier and, later, St. Venant-were the pioneers of the new scientihc technique in engineering which is basic to modern engineering practice. They gave to the French schools this distinctly scientific- engineering viewpoint. The first school in the United States to teach engineering was West Point, founded in 1803 as a training school for the Engineer Corps. lts teaching tradition was largely based on the French scheme of a sound basic training in mathematics, physics and the natural sciences. Several other schools came along in the period before Columbia embarked on engineering education in 1864-the first mining school in the United States. But at Columbia renewed emphasis was placed on the same principle of a sound basic training in science for the engineer-what we have characterized as the French tradition. Professor Eggleston and other pioneers at Columbia studied at the Ecole des Mines and their teaching was strongly influ- enced bv their French contacts. We know that this recognition of the importance of science as a tool in engi- neering still persists on Nlorningside. Who has not struggled with calculus, chem- istry or Physics 9? Thus we must take our hats off to the ancient Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees, and I hope that when you are in Paris you will walk up the narrow Rue des Saintes Peres on the south side of the Seine and step into the courtyard and hall of this shrine of engineering education. Beautiful marble busts of Perronet and his successors recall a tradition and personalities which should be cherished by all engineers. Needless to say, America was not willing to wait for Columbia to turn out the engineers she needed in building her earliest engineering works. In fact, Columbia did not wait until 1864 to turn out engineers. There are famous names in the Columbia engineering tradition long before the School of Mines opened its doors at the Maison du Punk in 49th Street. In 1768 John Stevens had graduated from Kings College-the Columbia of pre- revolutionary days. He was the founder of the Stevens clan of Hoboken and a pioneer of transportation by land and water. Still later, in 1809, there graduated James Renwick, friend of Washington lrving and professor at Columbia. He acted Forly-Illrfr The 1933 COLl.'iWBI.J ENGINEER as advisor for many engineering works, including the famous liflorris Canal, and as expert counselor to the engineers of the day who needed mathematical or mechanical assistance or just good engineering advice. ln 1823 Horatio Allen left the old col- lege halls, then located just west of the present Woolxvorth Building. A few years later he brought over from England the first full size locomotive used in America and operated it on the tracks of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. Alfred XV. Craven graduated in 1829 and later took up the task of operating through twenty troublesome years the first Croton water supply of New York City. Pinallv we should mention VVm. Mitchell Gillespie of the Class of 1834, whose book on surveying was the standard text for almost half a century. Since the establishment of the School of Mines in 1864- and the civil engineer- ing course in 1869, there has been a long record of distinguished service and achieve- ment by alumni of Columbia. 1 cannot mention by name all the mining engineers who have made Columbia's name known in mining centers the world over. Among the mining geologists there come to mind R. D. Irving, '69, who was a pioneer geologist in the Lake Superior area, Bailey VVillis, '78, interpreter of the earth's structure, and our own Uncle Jimmy Kemp, '8-l, who was an expert on ore deposits and a joy to all his friends. John A. Church. '67, whom l knew as a boy, was always my ideal of the American mining engineer, a forceful and imposing personality. He was the main- spring of the great Comstock lode. J. Parke Channing, '83, transported Lake Superior methods into the Southwest, and was a pioneer in the improvement of the conditions of mine workmen. Columbia mining engineers went all over the world and among other notable wanderers was T. H. Leggett, '79, who carried American mining methods to the great South African Rand. The American mining industry has many examples of Columbiazation, such as that due to the work of Aldrige, '87, who has made America supreme in the sulphur industry. Among the metallurgists there are many alumni who have made notable con- tributions to the development of modern metallurgical processes. Devereaux, '78, in the cyanide process, Hone, '79, in the metallurgy of zincg Klepetko, '80, in cop- per blast furnace practiceg Wa.lker, '83, also in copper refining, Dwight, '85, in sintering fine ores, are but a few among many Columbia men in this Held. Nor should we forget Moldenke, '85, who made a modern science out of the ancient art of cast irong Monell, '96, of iron and nickel fame, or Mattheyvs, '95, a pioneer in the development of corrosive resistant alloys. ln civil engineering, Columbia men recall that General William Barclay Par- sons, '82, built New York's land America'sj first subway, that Daniel E. Moran, '84, is dean of American Foundation experts, and that Charles G. Curtis, '81, invented the Curtis turbine. We are particularly proud, however, of our younger graduates-Steinman, '09, the suspension bridge expert, Beggs, '10, Professor at Princeton, who knows all about stresses, Grover Loening, '12, whose amphibian plane was a pioneer in this field, and Gavin Hadden, '12, who has been called by Pennsylvania, Cornell and Brown to show them how to build stadiums. The establishment of mechanical engineering came later at Columbia but the mechanical engineering student of today can easily find among these younger alumni men whose careers exemplify that ideal of progress and service for which our school stands. Pigott, '03, assisted Curtis in the development of his turbine, and is now director of the famous shipyards at Clydebank in Scotland. Pond, of the same class, is manufacturing manager of Pratt and Whitneyf, one of the pioneer, and still one of the greatest, American Hrms of tool builders. ln this modern age of power it is natural that many of our alumni should turn to the problems not only of central station but also of gas and oil power. Another Pigott, this time '06, has established a reputation in this field, and there are many others including lVIyers and Sage of the CIHSS 01' 1901- fC'0lI1'.'lllll'fi on page 55j Forty-four The 1933 COLUJUBIA ENGINEER Spalh Olxtad JWcG0ugh Ricorzda Jenkins .

The Physical Education Depart- ment of the University stimulated the interest in this particular sport by sponsoring a series of contests between teams representing the various professional schools. A plaque was offered as a prize to the team winning the series. A group of students who had some experience in this sport organized a team, known as the Engineers, to represent the Engineering School. Prescott Blatterman was elected to act as captain throughout the year. A tournament was held during the fall semester in which five professional schools were represented including the Engineering School. Une game was played with each of the other quintets entered in the league. The Engineers won three of their four games, losing to the Business School quintet by four points in the deciding game for the championship. The spring tournament proved more interesting as eight teams were entered from the various professional schools. In this series two games were played with each of the other teams, making a total of fourteen games to be played by each quintet. Thus far the Engineers have won ten games .and lost three. The first game with the Law School quintet required two overtime periods before the game was finally decided in favor of the Engineers. The second meeting of these two teams, however, showed that the engineering five had improved its game consid- erably. At the end of the first half the Engineers had rolled up eighteenipoints without a single point being scored against them. During the second half the defense weakened slightly but the scoring by the Engineers continued. The game ended with a score of 38-10 in favor of the Engineering School representatives. The team lost one of its games to Teachers' College and both games to the Kent's Independent Five. Three overtime periods were played in the first game with the Kent quintet. The second game was lost by a two point margin. The Engi- neers now stand in second place for the championship with the Kent Five in hrst place. From all indications this will probably be the Hnal rating of the teams at the end of the tournament. The starting line-up in practically all of the games consisted of Norm Hixson and Press Blatterman at the forward positions with Spike Qlstad jumping center. Fred Spellman and Tiny Raun played the guard positions. Tighe, G. Stringer, Vassilaros, lmhoff and Britz were found to be capable substitutes for these players when they were put into the game. Blatterman proved to be an excellent leader of the team, always playing a steady game and a constant threat in the scoring. When Hixson was not thinking too much about his seven o'clock class his cutting for the basket and his good shooting were very effective. Spike lived up to his name, and was always a thorn in the side of the opposition. Any of the opponent players will testify that Tiny Raun was a hard man to get past, being very agile for such a big fellow. Spellman was a great asset to the team on the offense with his speedy passing, and on the defense with his own particular method of keeping the opponents away from the basket. The other team was always baffled as to what .Toe Britz was going to do with the ball next. George Stringer still claims that there was a net over the basket to keep out his numerous shots.

HUGHES Fifty-four The 1933 COLUIIIBIA ENGINEER COLUlVIBIA'S ENGINEERING TRADITION fcontinued from page 440 Electrical engineering is a still younger branch but has been the most rapid in development., A graduate of the first class in this department at Columbia, and now a Trustee of his Alma Mater, Gano Dunn, '91, is president of the G. White Engineering Corporation. This firm built the transmission line for the world's first great water power development-the pioneer Niagara Falls plant of '95-and has been a leader in the field of power development. Dunn had as his professors at Columbia, Francis B. Crocker, '82, a founder of the famous firm of Crocker 85 Wheeler at Ampere, N. J., and M. I. Pupin, '83, who first successfully applied the loading coil, or Pupinization, in telephone circuits. Even the radio enthusiast of today recalls that one of our younger alumni, E. H. Armstrong, '13, is responsible for the introduction of the regenerative circuit. The Chemical Engineering degree was Hrst awarded at Columbia in June, 1910. Columbia's department of chemistry, however, under the leadership of one of the greatest teachers in Columbia history, Chas. F. Chandler, Hon. '11, had long been a force in American science and industry. It is probably dangerous to single out one or two names from an impressive roster of the celebrities but every student of today passes the beautiful memorial to H. Y. Castner, pioneer of electrolytic chemistry, particularly in the soda and chlorine industry, who began his work at Columbia in 1875, every time he enters Havemeyer Hall. Horne, '94, in sugar chemistry, Schieffelin, '87, in drugs, Gray, '07, in petroleum chemistry, and Kendall, '08, of the Mayo Foundation, represent this older tradition in Columbia's chemical efforts. The younger generation, which has received the Chem. E. degree, however, are making a great record. Landolt, '12, in dust separation, and Fogg, Burke, Soule and others will bear watching. The department also attracts many graduate stu- dents and these more mature graduates-Rittman, Ph, D. '14, and Alexander, '15, in the field of petroleum chemistry, for example-have already achieved notable suc- cesses both in the development of chemical processes and in the management of chemical industries. Finally we should not neglect the fact that the Columbia courses aim, as Pro- fessor Trowbridge stated many years ago, to first make our students engineers and then to make them a particular kind of engineer. Very frequently a graduate of one branch practices in another branch. This is well illustrated by the case of Irving Langmuir, '03, who graduated in metallurgy, but has devoted his life to elec- trical science and has just received the Nobel Prize. It is also true that a Very large percentage fof Columbia engineering alumni have gone into the administration or management of technical industry. Perhaps the name most prominently mentioned today in this connection is that of the Presi- dent of the American Car 55 Foundry Company, VV. H. Woodin, '90, who, as Secre- tary of the Treasury of the United States, has cleared our banking situation and, we all hope, opened to us a new era of confidence and faith in the soundness of the American economic system. Thus, when the Class of 1933 steps out into the Big World next June in the Fourth Year of the Current Unpleasantness, they carry a heavy burden of responsi- bility with them. VVe hope there will be a good number of future Perronets, Stevenses, Parsons, et al., among them, for professors modestly assume they have something to do with developing abilities and thus take pride in the accomplishments of their former pupils. No matter what the future has in store for the Class of 1933, however, we can rest assured that they found at Columbia that loyalty, that devotion to a worthy tradition of profession and school, which gives point and pur- pose to life and is an inspiration and guide to a full and useful career. Fifty-fifve The 1933 COLUJVIBIA ENGINEER PREPARATION FOR OPPORTUNITY KCOnz'inzzez1 from page 33j a year's apprenticeship he was given a good job that caused much jealousy. ln five years he was no longer with the company and in not as good a job. ln spite of the evil forebodings of some people we must not think the world is about to end. Dr. Mer1'iam, President of the Carnegie Institute of VVashington, recently traced the development of civilization from early geological periods. Over that length of time the present terrible trends and variations were microscopic. Read history and you will find that there have been many periods almost exactly like this and some worse and in every case they were followed by a good period. We should remember that we have in this country alone an enormous natural wealth, more food on the farms than we need, plenty of coal, oil, copper and other raw materials. We have plenty of labor capable of putting these raw materials into a useful form, a labor willing to work, and millions of people desiring these products and willing to work for them. All we need is a common sense scheme, a coordination of activities or in one word a sensible general manager and we could all be comfortable and happy even without money. In this scheme there is oppor- tunity for all and particularly for the engineer who has an appreciation of business. INTROSPECTION fCo1zfinued from page 372 to that which existed forty years ago. No one knew at that time what the electric industry would mean to the world, what bodily comfort and increase in culture would result from it, nor what social problems it would develop. If the engineer is to be blamed for any of the troubles that this industry has produced, his fault is that of not taking the public into his confidence, and demonstrating not only the advantage of the new industry, but the dangers and evils that might arise. No informed man would have the hardihood to prophecy what will happen during the next period that you will face, but that a new period has begun today there is no doubt. We who look back on the generation that has passed look back with regret at the mistakes and misunderstanding that have occurred but with the joy of real accomplishment. VVe wish for you similar tribulations but the same joy through even greater accomplishments. DIGGING IN fC07lfiNllFd from page 392 Well, what of it? just this,-in making our own decisions we need to be more sure than we have been that all the important factors have been taken into account. Engineers especially need a wider outlook upon, and a deeper understand- ing of, what happens as a result of what they do. And so the end of college is not an ending of a period of laboring to understand why things are so, but the begin- ning of the acceptance of responsibility for the effects of what we are doing. Most of you are eager to accept responsibility, but to bear it safely involves digging in your toes. As' miners you are elected to dig in the ground, but do not overlook that you are also digging into the fabric of human life. Keep the back well timbered. Fifty-six The 1933 COLUMBIA!

Conclusions are drawn and opinions are given. but they are all based on facts and logical interpretation. The cleverest practical geologist is one who can deal with these matters in the most rigid and accurate Way, reproducing for his own understanding the original steps by Which the conditions or formations in question came to be. This is a very matter-of-fact program despite the occasional use of the liveliest sort of speculation, trying out every imaginable explanation until all known condi- tions are satisfied. From this angle the Work of the geologist is not essentially dif- ferent from the Work of his associate, the engineer. When their Work is finished, it must fit into a very matter-of-fact World with requirements over which they have no personal control. If the Work is done in understanding of the processes that have governed in the past, and if plans are laid in full accord with determined facts, it is likely to be a success. But if anything of importance is missed, or if the interpreta- tions are wrong, or if the methods used do not measure up, the whole effort may be worse than Wasted. You would think that these stern demands Would discourage everyone from entering such a field. It would, anyone but an engineer or a geologist. QUALITY SERVICE EQUITABLE HAND WITT DRUG Co.
