V The Engineers, Chain . is 4 The 1910 graduating class of Engineers forged -, the anchor and welded the first link of 'the Eu- ',, 1 gineers' Chain, which is a symbol of the depart- iy N ,- p ment spirit. 1 . p As shown by the illustration, each link is made of steel, supporting within it a brass tablet on which are engraved the names of the graduating class of A 4' I Q the year in question. Each succeeding class formed and welded a link into the ever-growing chain. if - v ik ' The welding of the link was ever the principal -4' ,Q one of the Engineering Class Day Exercises and was If always one of the most impressive of commence- J' i ment. Weather permitting, this took place on L W X N - f . N 1 L1- the campus in the evening. The students ran spe- cial wiring and fixtures to the outdoor stage and, by the ingenious use of rheostats and arrangements of lights -in connection with the electric welding machine, produced most beautiful- and impressive effects. . . A regular class oiiicer was elected yearly from the Junior class known as Keeper of the Chain and at the conclusion of the welding ceremony, the pres- ident of the graduating class presented the chain to the newly-elected keeper for the ensuing year. He has been instructed to turn the chain over to the class of the new College of Engineering, the Col- lege to add a link commemorating the merger of Highland Park College and Des Moines College. A
