The student-teacher relationship is essentially an employer- employee relationship where our tuition pays the instructor to teach us the required subjects for a degree. If we learn the sub- ject and pass the course, the teacher has done all that we can ex- pect of him. Like any other employee, the teacher is entitled to go home to his family, to the golf course, or wherever he wishes when his day's work is done. But when he labors long hours for us and with us over and beyond the obligations of his position, he earns a friendship, a respect, and a gratitude which is hard to repay in any way and impossible to repay with a few printed words. We are a big class. We would like to dedicate this book to a man with a big personality, a big sense of humor, and a big heart -Professor Hans G. Erneman of the Mechanical Engineering De- partment. We are proud of Mr. Erneman and as the years roll by, we sincerely hope that he will be proud of us. The mechanical engineering courses are not easy. Hans has the thankless job of teaching us how to think. Most people don't like to think, it's hard work. lt's harder work to teach the student to think clearly. The long list of successful engineers that are Erneman-trained bear witness to the rare ability of this educator. Engineering theory is fresh in our minds now. With the high degree of specialization in industry, we may use only a portion of what we have learned here. We will forget much in time, but by his example and his patience and his qualities as an instructor, Hans Erneman has taught many of us how to think and this will never forget-and we will never forget Hans
