! I FOREWORD In this, the year 1952, we have chosen for the theme of our yearbook three words, Knowledge Is Power. Perhaps the apparent simplicity of the phrase is conducive to a passing over of the thought without its due and proper respect being paid. However, the endeavor of man through the ages to elevate himself is basic in its thought. Knowledge in itself is not of extreme importance, but rather it is in its intelligent and capable application and administration that its benefits can be realized. The realization may be called power. Applying the in- tangibles called knowledge to a particular work has long been the bridge between success and mediocrity, ful- fillment and frustration and the key to a useful, important role in life. There is no doubt that there has been a frightful de- cline in the desire of the individual to do a job for its resultant satisfaction and its ultimate contribution to the welfare of the nation, community and family. This atti- tude may stem from the era that is upon us, an era that has created a world wide rot of individual responsibility and an ever increasing dependence on a government to provide some kind of security. Thus the power gained through knowledge may be the power to fight off this deterioration of the values that our forefathers regarded as sacred in the American way of life. Today, education stands as the lone citadel for the preservation of the free enterprise system under whose benefits we have grown mighty. That this is the mightiest and wealthiest nation ever known can not be argued, but that we are capable of keeping that heritage and building upon these foundations even greater contributions than our predecessors is a task that the world is watching with dubious eyes. We accept this challenge not because of any glory involved, but rather because of absolute, dire necessity. Knowledge being power lends to us the proficiency of Finding better ways of surmounting technical problems, lends to us the logic of preventing the blinding of our faults and shortcomings, and exists as the medium through which we must retain our strength, prosperity, and freedom.

SCHOEN WILLIAM GOLDBLATT JAMES CREESE PR SID nT, DR6X€L inSTITUTe OF T CHnOLOGY To the Graduatins Class of 1952 The theme of your yearbook is a three-hundred-year old proverb accredited to Sir Francis Bacon, Knowledge Is Power. We can find the same thought in many older adages. But Bacon actually had in mind the kinds of knowledge that have constituted your studies here. He was the first seriously to conceive of an over-all reform of society by the planned application of science to production. Sir Francis had unconventional ideas about knowledge. Learned men of the universities in his day and statesmen of Elizabeth ' s court in such high positions as he held, were not commonly expected to be much interested in the arts of manufacture. Sir Francis, however, made a com- prehensive plan for a new order of society to be a- chieved by those arts. By an organized and intelligent progress in science and invention, he believed that the conditions of human life could be vastly improved and that even our habits of thought could be changed for the better. So he anticipated the technology of our day. In view of the modern achievements of industrial science, his saying that knowledge is power seems only a statement of literal truth. Manufacturing and commerce have been transformed by industrial science. Our economy has become de- pendent on the consistent conduct of organized research. During no other period of history has such a wealth of scientific knowledge been disclosed as in the present century. This is an age in which the power of technology has become plain. No company, no community, and no country can afford now to neglect the search for new knowledge. Nor can any individual. At Drexel ' s sixtieth anniversary convocation this year, there were many striking comments on the wide expansion of industry in our own neighborhood. One well-informed speaker estimated that as much as two billion dollars will be spent soon in the Delaware River area for new plants and new industries. There should be no lack of opportunity here for men who know how to use technical knowledge, when and where to use it, and why. I heartily congratulate you on the successful com- pletion of a long, severe course of study. You believe confidently that your studies here will help you to make the most of your professional opportunities. So do we. Perhaps I need not remind you that your education, how- ever, does not stop now. Your diploma is an invitation to further study. The range of your studies may be steadily broadened: on the job, in the classroom, where advanced certificates and academic degrees are to be earned, in your reading, and in the daily contacts with persons and affairs. You may progress, if you choose, into new technical fields and into adjacent areas of science, eco- nomics, history, and philosophy. That is the right course of an educated man who acquires a true sense of the power of knowledge. James Creese, President DR6X6L inSTITUT€ Of TeCHnOLOGY eveninc coLLeoe CLRSS OF 1952 KENNETH W. RIDDLE DIR6CTOR, €V€ninG COLL€G€ RHD DIPLOmfl SCHOOL Members of the Diploma Class of 1952 You fiave reached another milestone in your educational careers. You have acquired the necessary theoretical background to make your daily practice more meaningful and more productive. As technical men you are intensely conscious of the use of power — power in the physical sense to do the world ' s work. Mod- ern man relies more and more upon the design and development of new and better equipment to utilize this physical power. The quest for new and better sources for the utilization of energy, how- ever, depends itself upon power — the power of knowledge. Ex- tension of technical developments in equipment and processes depends upon the proficiency of men and women charged with these responsibilities. The further the frontiers of knowledge can be expanded, the better will be the end product. That you are conscious of the power of knowledge is also at- tested by the sacrifices you have made in carrying through a study program in the Evening College. In all probability you have come to realize that learning is a never-ending process and although your formal education may terminate with graduation, you will continue to broaden your education through the years. I hope that many of you will plan to continue your formal education on the campus. May each one of you successfully reach the goal you have set for yourself and reap the benefits of your years of study. K. W. Riddle, Director u:) I Evening College Graduates In Industry Schooling at night, after putting in a full day in in- dustry, is the hardest way to obtain an education, but it involves a self-investment which pays rich dividends in later years. Having taught sixteen years in our Evening College, I know from actual experience what it takes for a boy to make a success this way. I feel that our Evening College graduates are making their mark in industry, and that they are more than holding their own with graduates of day colleges. In the company for which I work (Philadelphia Electric Company) we have Evening College graduates in responsible supervisory positions, many with day school graduates under their supervision. During World War II, the military services recognized our Evening College graduates by granting them com- missions. As I often told members of my classes, and many young men considering evening college education, it is not where you obtain your education that counts in your progress in the business world — but how you apply your knowledge. The Evening College of Drexel is doing a wonderful job in turning out men equipped to hold their own with the graduates of day colleges. May its high standards never be let down! George L. Harvey, Jr. Director, Employment Division Philadelphia Electric Co. I CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT WARREN W. HOWARD 4028 S. Warner Rd., Lafayette Hill, Pa. Mechanical Engineering — Industrial A man of no small stature, speaking both literally and figura- tively, is Warren Howard. He is a six footer and a most important man, upon whose shoulders rested the many responsibilities of leading the class of 1952 for almost two years. It must be regarded as a rather remarkable accompHshment for a man to assume these obligations as president and to carry them through expertly while holding down not only a full time job with its own responsibilities but also successfully completing the course of study in order to earn an engineering diploma. All this of course is in addition to maintaining a family and home. However, Warren managed all these duties with a friendly, willing spirit and a confident, im- perturbable attitude. Warren has a most extensive industrial record, and it is apparent where he gained his administrative skill. With the Brown Instrument Company he worked as a stock handler and production expediter and with Cramp Shipbuilding Company he acquired experience in steel erection and planning. At Publicker Alcohol Company he was supervisor of unloading and storage of materials. Presently in the employ of the Atlantic Refining Company, Warren ' s chief duty concerns the analysis and controls of industrial engineering efforts and functions. An overall, comprehensive review of his duties and experience since graduating from Northeast High School in 1934 shows background in general office procedure, general accounting, production con- trol, production planning, inventory and material control, pur- chasing and all phases of expediting. He has also acquired a thorough knowledge of industrial engineering programs and wage incentives, in addition to extensive traveling and participation in organized labor negotiations. Besides engineering training at Drexel, Warren completed two years of business administration at the University of Pennsylvania Evening School and saw service during the war with the U. S. Navy. At home, Warren does not slow down, for he is a member of the community civic organization and the Parent-Teachers Association. Married and with three children, he still reserves most of Saturday and all day Sunday to spend with the family in and around the nev home he recently purchased. Other interests include the study of political science and current affairs. It is obvious that a man of these accomplish- ments would be popular. Yet the popularity of Warren Howard does not stem from hand shaking, false praise or the like. It emanates rather from the direct honesty and sincerity that is basic in his personality. The class of 1952 has profited through the leadership of Warren, and it is hoped through the two years in which he was at the helm that this difficult administrative experience does in some small measure contribute to his certain success in the career he has chosen. VICE PRESIDENT In attempting to predict the successful future of an individual, a line is usually drawn protecting tfie prognostication with some degree of doubt, preferably by the use of the word if. It may be here stated for the record that no i ' need be considered when foreseeing great things for Richard Blumberg. Probably Richard was the most active and important vice-president the Evening College has yet seen. Possessing a knack of making people like him, a mind alv ays ready to make quick, ise decisions and a means of expressing opinions forthrightly and honestly, yet diplomatically, are his invaluable personality traits. In addition to his administrative duties, Richard acted as executive adviser to the SPARTAN and was most diligent in assisting the business depart- ment in Its advertising campaign, h e was also, for every social activity, the man to be counted upon to do his job exceedingly well. Outside of Drexel, Richard has gained status as a chemical engineer with General Electric Company in their switchgear plant. There he is engaged in the development of finishes and finishing processes, both organic and inorganic. His initial efforts in the chemical industry began after he had graduated from Collingdale hiigh School, where, with the Army Chemical Warfare Service, he worked in development and research concerned with toxic material weapons. Richard is also assistant editor of the monthly publication of the American Electroplaters ' Society and is very active in local civic affairs. Scholastically, he i s, as might well be expected, an excellent student and was winner of the third award for achievement in June 1949. Domestically, Richard is married and the father of two children and still finds spare time to devote to his hobbies of furniture building and electroplating research. As already stated, the potential that belongs to Richard Blumberg goes without qualification. RICHARD BLUMBERG 2123 Pershins Ave., Faraday Park, Pa. Chemical Ensineerins SECRETARY Leeds and Northrup Company employ Richard as an Automatic Control Engineer, and the self-confident, ambitious secretary of the class must have a thrity-hour day in order to complete his busy schedule. Attending Drexel four nights a week in order to com- plete his education in rapid time, he still found time to indulge in photography and higher mathematics as hobbies. It might be well to add that he is married and the proud parent of two children. Richard has received other technical training at R. P. I., North Carolina Stale College and has completed an I. C. S. course in Electrical Engineering. He is a graduate of Norwich High School in Norwich, New York. Before going to work for his present employer, he was a combustion technician for John A. Roebling Sons Company and an instrument technician for the Scintilla Magneto Company. Fulfilling capably the never-ending detail and follow-up procedures that is part of a secretary ' s obligation, Richard deserves much commendation for his efforts in helping to keep the machinery of the class organization well oiled. There is no tangible reward that can be issued for such services rendered, but we feel sure that the satisfaction obtained from doing an assigned task well has its reward in its contribution to the indi- vidual ' s character and personality. For Richard, then, this experi- ence as an officer of the class cannot help but become of some value to him; even though it be small, it is definite. RICHARD J. HANCE Box 91, Florence, N. J. Mechanical Ensineering — Power 4 - MORRIS J. SIEGEL 3206 W. Diamond St., Philadelphia, Pa. Civil Engineering TREASURER Elected treasurer of the class in both his junior and senior years, Morris has fulfilled the duties of his office capably anc efficiently. The handling of money in a large class such as this requires a great deal of time and a knack for attending to an abun- dance of details. Morris, apart from school and work, is a family man, happily married and the father of two children. He graduated from West Philadelphia High School in 1944 and has taken courses in mechanical drav ing. Before entering the U. S. Navy he worked ds a draftsman for the U. S. Signal Corps and the Department of City Transit. In the Navy, Morris rose from apprentice seaman to a Petty Officer in less than ten months. After being discharged, he returned to the Department of City Transit, where he was soon promoted to Structural Draftsman. In late 1950, when the bulk of the subway extensions were designed and under contract, he resigned to accept the position of Assistant Engineer of Design — Structural with the Bureau of Engineering, Surveys and Zoning, City of Philadelphia. EHere he is engaged in the design and detail of the various municipal projects, ranging from heavy structures such as sewage treatment plants and pumping stations to light buildings and airport work. This work also requires the drawing up of estimates and the checking of specifications. Morris outlook tends toward altruism as well as ambition since he not only desires to become an authority in structural engineering but would also like (eventually) to become a member of the Drexel faculty so that he might do his part in assisting future engineers in their struggle for recognition. YEARBOOK EDITOR GEORGE C. KREWSON 612 Devereaux Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. Mechanical Engineering — Machine Design When they began the expression Let George Do It, they must have had someone like George Krewson in mind. Into his capable hands fell the task of editing and writing the material for this publication of the SPARTAN. Gathering material, writing, rewriting, coordinating the art, business and editorial groups, meeting deadlines, keeping the printer, photographer and en- graver busy and handling numerous miscellaneous details are only pari of the job. The only compensation he will receive is the experience gained both in the writing and in the managing of his staff (which will prove valuable in his future career ' ) and the satisfaction of doing a job well. When George was elected to the position of editor of the yearbook, the class of 1952 was fortunate indeed, for his technical background plus his keen interest in things literary provided an ideal individual for the office. His creative ideas run in two channels, writing and de- signing. Employed as a standards specialist for the Link-Belt Company for almost four years, he has also accumulated five years experience as a draftsman and designer with the Andale Company in the manufacture of heat exchanger equipment and with the Frederick H. Levey Company in the construction of printing machinery. A graduate of Central High School ' s 181st class, he is married, has two daughters and believes all engineers should be fully informed on world affairs and modern business and its man- agement and not confine themselves only to technical matters. A deep thinker, he expressed his views on the present state of the nation very ably in the foreword of this book. George is an outspoken man, but he combines this with his inboin tact and gracious charm. These attributes and his native ability for pro- jecting his vitality and zest for working upon all those around him insure his success. 10 CLRss council Top Row, Left to Right: Robert Welsh, Edward Andersen, William Campbell, AdoK Lemberger, James Porter, Philip App, Robert Steel, Walter Schoen, Lawrence Polillo, Joseph Korkus, Clifford Matthews, William Goldblatt, Norman Abel Middle Row: Daniel Keegan, Albert Neff, Leon Green, George Bailey, William Roeger, George Giessner, Paul Earley, Robert Kinkle, Andrew Fader, Thomas Leahy, William Siegel Bottom Row: Gerald Hill, Robert Raby, Doris Schwendner, Richard Hance, Richard Blumberg, Warren Howard, Morris Siegel, George Krewson, Frank Samiec, Daniel Altieri 11 I nRCHIT€CTUR6 First Year Points Elementary Architectural Drawing (I, II, III) 6 Advanced English (I, II, III) 9 Review Mathematics (I, II, III) 9 Second Year Architecture I (A, B, C) 6 Architecture II (A, B, C) 6 Architectural Strength of Materials (I, II, III) 9 Third Year Architecture III (A, B, C) 6 Presentation Drawing (I, II, III) 6 Perspective, Shades and Shadows (I, II, III) 6 Fourth Year Architecture IV (A, B, C). 12 Structural Steel (I, II, III) 9 Fifth Year Architecture V (A, B, C). 12 Reinforced Concrete (I, II, III) 9 12 RRCHIT6CTUR6 13 , si FRANKLIN M.

Chemistry ' s scholastic first-place achievement award winner in 1950 is a graduate of South Philadelphia High School, married, and the father of one son, Stanley David Cohen. Analytical chemistry is Martin ' s strong point inasmuch as he has been employed in that classification by the Metro Smelting Company and the Publicker Alcohol Company, which employment covers the solid and liquid phases, and now at the Philadelphia Gas Works he has completed the cycle. Martin is an analytical chemist and holds a B.S. in chemistry degree from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and is a member of the American Chemical Society. His philosophy and desires in life are summarized in his phrase, to be as happy as possible. 22 CHESTER E. FEEHAN 66 Amboy Ave., Roebling, N. J. It is the quiet, efficient men in a class who someday will prob- ably play an important role in engineering. Such a person is Chester, who has delved deeply into the intricacies of chemical engineering, both at the student ' s desk and with the New Jersey State hfighway Department. There he is employed as a junior chemical engineer, whose duties include analyses of paints, cement, soils, and other substances encountered in the construction and maintenance of highways. Preceding education at Drexel, Chester graduated from Trenton s Hamilton hHigh School and then attended the University of Illinois. This training was supplemented by a Rutgers University extension course. Chester is married and en- joys his hobbies of photography and sports. LEON GREEN 2028 Longshore Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. Leon ' s scholastic standing is best shown by his winning of Chemistry ' s second award for achievement in both 1949 and 1951 . Supplementing his regular work and Drexel study, he is an as- sistant scoutmaster, chapter treasurer of the Sigma Alpha Rho fraternity, financial representative of the chemistry section of the class of 52 and enjoys cabinet making as his favorite hobby. A former Air Force navigator, Leon is a graduate of OIney hdigh School and formerly worked for Jos. Kopperman and Son as a layout draftsman. He is currently employed by Penn Industrial Consultants as a piping designer. Leon is married, has two chil- dren and will consider his ambitions fulfilled if he finds a place in the chemical field that would utilize his experience and knowledge and continually offer new problems to solve. CLARENCE P. KURTZ 6639 Vandike St., Philadelphia, Pa. Employed by the Rohm and Haas Company, Clarence finds his responsibility is to develop and write analytical methods and test procedures for research and plant control. Before going to work for Rohm and Haas, he spent three years in the Air Force as a crew chief, worked as a laboratory assistant for S. P.

Drexel as an institute of art, science and industry to meet thie increasing demands for technological education in the rapidly growing Philadelphia industrial area. In celebration of the event, a three-day Convocation focused the attention of the community and the nation on the accomplishments of Drexel and gave promise to its future. Features of the Convocation were addresses by General George C. Marshall, retired U. S. Secretary of State, and M. Georges Bidault, Vice-Premier and Minister of Defense of the Republic of France. Distinguished scholars, business and industrial leaders partici- pated in fourteen panel meetings, discussing the role of technological training in Philadelphia ' s approaching industrial expansion. Over 15,000 persons attended the Convocation. Convention Hall — Opening Evening of Convocation Academy of Music — Closing Evening of Convocation DREXEL — Geared to the Future pays tribute to its alumni .... continues to expand .... shows it has a heart .... • Durins the Convocation, 60 outstanding Drexel Alumni were cited for their civic and professional accomplishments. • Drexel Alumni contributed $375,000 toward the Alumni Appeal in support of the Expansion Program and helped to make possible the Alumni Scientific Laboratories Building. • The curricula of Drexel have been expanded to pro- vide for graduate study. An opportunity to obtain a Bachelor ' s degree is now available in the Drexel Evening College. • A book listing the war records of Drexel students and graduates was compiled. Full scholarships to Drexel Institute were established for the children of the 168 men who gave their lives in the service of their country — a living memorial to Drexel ' s war heroes. g -honored A ' ., ,, Opening MeetinS r, Ptesenting General Greene P.« _ jl a, hAemor •,a BooW A fane D ' scuss ons c, ■ vico : , ' :.« - t ,, -r Stronger n A-Bomb to ' .w ; t r « ' .; ..„I !

I,.; -.1 l:i-i-ri Ha The Drexel Development Program Inspired by the approval of thousands of friends during the Convocation, Drexel Institute of Technolosy announced a $5,050,000 development program to help meet the demand for more and more technically trained men and women. The development program for the industrial university includes a basic sciences building, a new library, a physical education building, a student activities center and an on-campus dormitory. The entire block between 32nd and 33rd and Market and Chestnut Streets will become a greater Drexel Campus. The redevelopment plans for this area, the so-called university area, include the closing of Woodland Avenue and the re- routing of trolleys now using that thoroughfare. The first step in the development program will be the construction of the basic sciences building with modern laboratories and classrooms. The cost of the building has been estimated at $1,400,000 and construction is expected to begin the latter part of this year. 100 Convocation Quotes Drexel has had a long history of service and experience with its Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. I am told that more than 9,000 men have passed through the ranks of that Corps and that they have given a splendid account of themselves. Now to the point — how can we be prepared for a prompt war deployment unless we maintain the heavy, almost impossible, burden of large forces on continuous active duty at a vast cost? My answer is by a system of universal military training. This would be even a greater deterrent, I think, to possible aggressors or murderers of world peace than even the atomic power now in a rapid state of development. There are no patent quick ways of making war. It is a terrible, dreadful business. To be unprepared these days would be a tragic risk of our freedom , , General George C. Marshall Convention Hall, October 30, 1951 The machine knows no evil or good. It does the work which it is meant to do but it is man who assigns the task to the machine and man is able to distinguish between good and evil. Science without conscience is nothing but the soul s destruction. ' It is many centuries ago that a great writer said that in France. Without recourse to moral values, without recourse to religious and spiritual values, mankind shall not master the forces which have been unleashed. Nothing can stop scientific progress -and wars least of all are able to do it — not can social progress which is its corollary be held back. Nothing can prevent eco- nomic evolution. Concepts of the past which are con- demned by the general trend of ideas and existing facts can never be revived. They are condemned without appeal. M. Georges Bidault Academy of Music, November 1, 1951 The Nation looks to institutions like Drexel and other educational training centers to train men in engineering, electronics and the other sciences vital to our rearmament program and our civilian economy. Pres. Harry S. Truman A pleasure comes to me today when I am afforded an opportunity to |oin others in paying tribute to Drexel Institute, one of the most forward looking, most efficient educational institutions in this country. Gov. John S. Fine The splendid work which Drexel has accomplished in its long and honorable history is not capable of measure- ment, ' Edward O ' Laughton St. James Rectory I have been extremely impressed by Drexel Institute. There is no other urban institution that I know of where the academic and family surroundings exist to such a high degree, Major General Hugh M. Milton III, GSC Department of Defense, U.S.A. ' We are on the threshold of the greatest industrial and commercial expansion of our history. . . . The capital out- lay presently involved, according to our figures, is in excess of one and one-half billion dollars. . . .

BEST WISHES TO CLASS OF ' 52 FROM E. W. TWITCHELL INC. g U I L D BTElURRD-RniRinESCa 121 CdUo A Ue 1 If the task undertaken in the foregoing pages is in some way rewarding to the graduates whose intelligence and determination made them part of the 1952 SPARTAN, then the effort expended by those who helped to publish this book will have been worthwhile. The purpose of the publication is of dual nature — to sharpen, as years go by, the details of happenings and acquaintanceships which are worth preserving,- and presently, to acquaint industry with the caliber and rich experience of each graduate. Indebtedness is acknowledged to the following persons: First, to all members of the SPARTAN staff for their willingness and absolute cooperation in every phase of this undertaking; Mr. hfoward W. Benfield of the Drexel Institute Evening College staff for his time, advice and patience; Mr. Paul K. Noel of the Drexel Institute Evening College faculty for his sage suggestions, criticisms and painstaking correction of grammatical errors; The Drexel Evening College Alumni whose generous support and splendid assistance was most helpful; Mrs. Ruth Gray of the Westbrook Publishing Company, who, for over a year, was an excellent reference in the solution of many problems and who never refused to do those many things which might be considered outside the field of d printer ' s responsibility; The very prompt and sincere photographer, Sarony Studios, whose excellent work is apparent. Preparing the 1952 SPARTAN was a great adventure. I hope that its worth at present and in the years to come will give proportionate pleasure to its owners. Qeo UfA Q.
