Z 96014 Q64 Z Eleven years ago, when the world was seeking a way tc overcome the blacl-:est depression it had ever known, Russell E. Lawrence and a courageous nucleus of teaching associates founded the Lawrence Institute of Technology. The difficulties of those early years, which besought him and the little group that comprised the faculty and administrative staff, would have discouraged lesser men, but the slow climb to the top that Lawrence Tech was making was not to be stopped, Virs tually lifting itself by its bootstraps, the school has grown in the intervening years to assume a dominant position in its field, Now beginning its second decade of existence, Lawrence Tech again finds itself in a world of turmoil, strife, and destrucs tion. But this time the school is making a proud contribution to the forces of law and order, its graduates, students, and members of the faculty, have spread to the four corners of the earth in the service of our country, or as engineers producing the tools to win the peace that will surely be ours, Many have brought honor to Lawrence Tech by their skill and exploits, Yet, as important are those who have handled a Job well by virtue of the training and associations they have received within these walls. From a student body of 222 students in 1932, Lawrence Tech has increased in enrollment to where more than ten times that number now attend classes. , S,01UTE op' 5 , nmoiur g Arm qi gf - ' '21 5 1 2 S is I S , q'HMUKE 3 ll .4 1931 F50 ND mms Seven
