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.
