Q A LAWRENCE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 21000 West Ten Mile Road at Northwestern Detroit 19, Nlichigan BOOK .Bai F OREWORD Upon graduation from high school, life, the enigma, lay before us. To its solution were three aids-preparation, medi- tation, and dedication. The completion of your college career has given you a carefully planned preparation. None of us knows what the future holds, but in our medita- tion We shall always look upon the period of preparation with fond memories of our alma mater. In those nostalgic reminis- cences will be the old campus, the new campus, and our senior year, the twenty-fifth in the school's history. As we approach the period of dedication, the tenacity of those men and women who through twenty-five years, made our preparation a practical reality and their cumulative ex- periences which they endeavored to impart to us will help solve the problem of making us well adjusted happy individuals and contributing members of society. . . and with this ln I 1 5 ' o ' ' ' . . ' I ' , ' 1 l. George Lawrence, President During those first few years, the college was in bad shape financially which put a great deal of responsibility on my shoulders. A period of abfxut three years passed before the teachers could be paid their full sa aries. In 1937, I originated the building fund, the objective of which was to build our own building sometime in the unforeseen future. In 1941, during World War II, the building fund was used for other expenditures which arose at that time. It became necessary to adopt a war training prograrn in order to retain the instructors and literally keep the college together. After the war a majority of the original students returned to L.I,T. The enrollment increased to about 2500 which was the record until 1956. The college began to prosper again and the building fund was re- organized. L.I.T. purchased two tracts of land over the years. One was the old Packard Rolls Royce plant which was used as the Technnical Institute, and the other was the ninety-four acres on which Northland Shopping Center now stands. Three old maids owned the Northland property. They refused to sell to many real estate firms, but agreed to sell to the college. We originally planned to build a shopping center on the property with a four-story college building next to it. The students were to use the shopping center parking facilities which would have been more than adequate. A large firm from the East heard of the proposed shopping center and put in a bid for the land. When Hudson's heard of this, they began their counter bidding to prevent any further competition in this area. The bidding went so high that we were forced to sell. Because the developing expressways in Detroit were to be routed through the old Packard plant, the city found it necessary to buy the Technical Institute property. Our next move was to buy the Larro Experimental Farms which con- sisted of more than two-hundred acres. The part of the farm which was situated east of Northwestern Highway was sold to the Bendix Aviation Company. The combined profits of these transactions was adequate to begin construction of the new building. Now that we have our new building, we are looking forward to a bright future for L.I.T., for there is much room and need for expansion. Genevieve G. Dooley, Registrar Twenty-five years! To say it seems like only yesterday when the doors opened to our first class at 15100 Woodward would be a cliche. And yet Working daily ever since to establish our present college has not allowed much time for counting years and reminiscing. From the days of three hundred students to the present en- rollment of nearly three thousand opportunities for serving, befriending and guiding-even congratulating-have come countless times. Contributing in some way in each instance has been my privilege and purpose. As I look out over our modern campus, I cannot help but think that there have been greater accomplishments than those which only meet the eye. With the aid of our present staff and our expanded facilities, Lawrence Tech should be able to accomplish its goals more fully now than ever before. But to truly accomplish them, we must preserve the challenging spirit of the first yearsg those times must continue to seem like only yesterday. A was N ' , A . N. 1323. ,Az-. -sm. wi. U ,V ,W -vw ,. I 1994.-1:-'i ,ar..':e6My: Edwin O. Graeffe, Dean of the Facultw Before Lawrence Tech obtained its charter in 1932, the old Ford Trade School was used only for recreational purposes. The Golden Glove tournament was held there that year. One of the greatest fighters in the world, Joe Louis, got his start there. The upper floors had been closed for four years and were in very bad condition. Many of the original students earned their first year's tuition by repairing these floors. Although it was against regulations, many out of town stu- dents slept on the fourth floor. After the banks closed in February 1933, the faculty used to meet in Miss Dooley's office hoping that a student would pay a portion of his tuition to enable them to divide it for their lunches. An orchestra was started in 1933, in which Dr. Graeffe played the piano and directed. On Saturday afternoon our fencing team, of which Dr. Graeffe was the coach, would practice on the third floor. Bill Osis, one of our early students, made the Olympic Fencing Team in 1940. Unfortunatelythe Olympic games did not take place that year. Besides teaching, instructing fencing, and directing music, Dr. Graeffe also operated the book store for the first two years. Mrs. Graeffe operated the office for the evening school. During the year 1937-38, Dr. Graeffe made a trip around the world and gathered many valuable experiences and informa- tion for future instruction. World War II caused a big setback for the school in that a majority of our students went to war. At this time Dr. Graefe worked at Fisher Body and taught in night school. lt was very gratifying to see that many of our original students returned to L.I.T. after the war and continued their education under the G. I. bill. The Business Administration curriculum began in 1939 and was interrupted during the war. After its reorganization, it grew to what is now the Industrial Management Curriculum. Harold C Boothroyd, Chairman, Chemistry Department The Lawrence Tech chemistry department originally consisted of three instructors, Doctor William Hawkes, now deceased, Edmond Dombrowski, and myself. All three of the original staff transferred from the University of Detroit in '32, Wayne Buell joined the chemistry department after his graduation and spent many years as a staff member. Originally a full chemical engineering curriculum was offered, including quantitative and qualitative analysis, organic and physical chemistry and several other courses, in addition to the course in general chemistry which is still offered at L.l.T. As time Went on, Drf Hawkes retired, and still later Mr. Buell and Mr. Dombrowski left the department and obtained ern- ployment with the Ford Motor Company. Because of the reduced staff, laboratory space, and the in- adequate size of many of the courses, the Chemical Engineer- ing curriculum was discontinued in 1953. This year we have the greatest number of classes in general chemistry that we have ever had. In addition to the six morn- ing labs which are being offered for the first time, there are also four afternoon lab periods and ten more in night school. mm' V g., ' .,,.-x g' Q 'Aff-iw - xxx- , y. at kk . vw fbx. 'W as Eflllllllld J. Dombrowski, Professor, Chemistry A graduate of the University of Detroit in 1932, I began teaching at L.I.T. immediately after graduation while con- tinuing studies in this institution for my Masters Degree. At that time, as Professor of Chemical Engineering, I taught Chemical Engineering both in day and night school plus some Math and College Chemistry. In 1940, to do my part during the war years, I obtained a position with the Ford Motor Company. I taught only evening courses at Lawrence Tech and I have continued in this capacity ever since. The chemistry laboratories on the third floor of the old ivy covered building on Woodward Avenue provided instruction and experience for some of today's leading chemists and executives. The Chemical Engineering Department was discontinued about three years ago because there were not enough students requesting this curriculum to warrant its continuation. In my estimation, Chemical Engineering is the most important of all branches of engineering, espec1ally in this area. It is my sincere belief that this curriculum should be reinstated to full standing again at Lawrence Tech in the near future. My ex- perience in the industrial field since 1940 is a substantial indi- cation that there is a great need now always for consci- entious Chemical Engineers. .RZQWGW Earl W. Pellerin, Chairman Architectural Engineering Department It was a golden autumn during our very first semester. Total enrollment in our department had closed at five, all were good workers. Of that five, Victor Basso was a prolific worker, organizer, and Student Council President. Ernest Brown, George Wright, Joseph Dworski, and Stan April were others in that merry group. All have been successful and many times outstanding in their field. Time passed swiftly with many student accomplishments and stimulating activities in the A.l.A. student chapter. Among the faculty who stayed to provide a long and dedicated per- formance were George Bery, James Hughes, Maxwell Wright, Doris Smith, and Fritz Kramrisch. Through the years a host of distinguished professionals lectured and participated in seminars for the department. Our shining hour occured on one May evening in 1951 when, as our guest speaker, the brilliant Master Architect Frank Lloyd Wright lectured to a colorful audience of more than 1800 people. John Amarantides, one of our outstanding stu- dents, received a scholarship from Frank Lloyd Wright that fall and is now in his fifth year of work and study at Taliesin. After a siege of day and night work in February 1953, our students and faculty presented our college with a handsome, exciting model of our new building at the State Fair Collo- seum Kick Off. In 1954, Edward Kovack won first prize in the state-wide Builders Association home competition. Over a four year period, sixteen prizes and honorable mentions were won by our students. In 1955, Joseph Dworski won an A.I.A. honor award for his work on the Benson Ford residence. For his courthouse design for Condon, Oregon, Murdo Morrison won a national award in 1956. As our Commencement Speaker for 1956, we were honored to have Mr. Clair Ditchy, the immediate past president of the American Institute of Architects. We were also honored this year to have three of the four officers elected by the Detroit chapter A.I.A., from our former students, among them Gerald Diehl the President. So these days as we enjoy our beautiful campus, we reflect and deeply appreciate the vision and encouragement of the administration and of all the wonderful people with whom we have been privileged to work and the guidance and strength endowed to this college, far beyond the realm of man's own potential on this good earth. 1 4 W s 9? af 2345- 95 , Xw 9, Q 'Y 5, 9 ex' X4 M Q x Z 9 ,HN x.

Dean Russel E. Lawrence pursuing a long felt need will inaugurate a program of engineering in September for both day and night students. The plan is to provide education within the economic reach of the vast middle class of people and at the same time furnish an unquestionable quality of education. 18 The building to be occupied at 15100 Woodward Avenue, Highland Park, was originally constructed for and occupied by the St. Francis Home for Orphan Boys from 1908 until 1916. In 1916, The Ford Motor Company acquired the proper- ty for the Henry Ford Trade School and it was occupied by it until 1930. si i . fi . 4 i f ' 1 ' 'T 'T X 5 W N, S lid? ,g . ' 3 T. N 'Q' ' xx .

George Lawrence President Russel Ellsworth Lawrence established a college which provides an engineering curriculum in tune with the times within the grasp of all. He passed away, leaving us not only with his accomplish- ments, but with a challenge to fulfill his utmost desire-to make Law- rence Institute of Technology the finest and most progressive engineer- ing college in the world. The founder was a most talented man. It is said that he would have succeeded in any field he entered. He received many honors as a leading engineer, but he was happiest when he was teaching. It must have made him happy, indeed, when his students referred to him as The Dean of Deans. Russell E. Lawrence, Founder . N92 -. Brother of Russell E.

The site is a 200-acre farm at James Couzens and Ten Mile, which the college is buying from General Mills, Inc. Dr. E. George Lawrence, president of the 1500- Student college, said arrangements for the pur- chase were being completed Saturday and that within a year ground will be broken for a new S1,000,000 engineering building. Originally land was purchased on 8-Mile Road and Northwestern Highway. This property, however, was sold to the J. L. Hudson Com- any to enable Northland Center to be erected at this location.

Upon look- ing over some of the older yearbooks and comparing them with this year's L-Book, the vast expansion of the Lawrence Institute of Technology staff can plainly be seen. This great enlargement of staff members took place very slowly over the first years of Lawrence Tech.'s existence. Then, when we Hnally obtained our new building, it seemed as though all depart- ments grew with leaps and bounds. Especially of great need were those required to successfully carry on the school's business with the ever increasing enrollment. We, the graduating seniors, would like to congratulate all of these fine people for their good work and thank them for the help and assistance they have extended to us during our attendance here.

The Techni- cal Institute offers Associate in Engineering degrees. Upon completion of the required subjects, the following men will be eligible for a Bachelor of Science or Associate in Engineering Degree. This year the Candidates for Degree have been grouped together according to their major. The faculty of each department pre- cede the Candidates for Degree of that department. ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Prof. Earl W. Pellerin, Department Head, B.S.A.E University of Michigang Graduate study, University of Michigan. Joined L.I.T. in 1932. The Architectural Engineering Department, under Mr. Pellerin's watchful eye, has always been one of the most progressive departments in the school. The department stresses originality and imagination but never loses the practical side of engineering. Mr. Pellerin's students have constantly been in the winners circle in all Architectural competitions. This is evidence of the high standards of the de- partment.

TECHNICAL INSTITUTE DIVISIGN The technician's job is a vocation requiring skillful application of a high degree of specialized knowledge together with a broad under- standing of operational procedures. The purpose of the Technical Irfstitute is to prepare technicians for various technical positions or activities within the field of engineering. Curricula are essentially technological in nature, and emphasize rational processes rather than rules of practice. Upon completion of the required subjects the students are eligible for an Associate in Engineering degree in Building Construction, Electrical and Elec- tronic Technology, Industrial Supervision, Refrigeration and Air Con- ditioning, or Mechanical Technology.

THE PRE-CGLLEGE PROGRAM Certain required high school entrance units are offered in the pre-college program. They include chemistry, plane geom- etry, and third year algebra. Deficiencies in such units may be removed by satisfactorily completing these subjects prior to enrolling in the first year of college. No degree credit is given for this work which is at the high school level. An entering student who has completed all of the high school entrance requirements may elect to receive refresher work in these subjects. ! Qi a,, i 1 W Aiwa?

This association has been instrumental in the success of each building drive and many other campus activities. All students owe these men their thanks for the handsome furnishings in our student lounge. The present Alumni office is located at 3165 Guardian Building, Detroit 26, Michigan, WOodward-1-8627. Don Ridler, Tech's Athletic Director has been appointed as Alumni Secretary. Q s CLASSES AND in--ig vi ACTIVITIES SECTION -Q- fi During the past twenty-five years the Lawrence Institute of Technology has gained recognition academically as well as socially. The addition of classrooms, faculty members, etc., can be compared in growth with the activities of the Student Body as well as the various organizations. One can see on these two pages the great change between the old school on Woodward Avenue with that of the new school. In the pages to follow, one is able to note the participation of the Student Body and Faculty working together to make the social aspect of Lawrence Tech a success. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS ,,.-sm. -.

During the past year, the Student Council has been headed by President James Parker. The Work of the Student Council can be plainly seen through the student government at Lawrence Tech. Not only do the bimonthly meetings serve as a sounding board for the student but also for organizational problems. In a true democratic spirit, heated discussions are the rule, rather than the exception at these meetings, and the work is carried on in harmony each one working to make up the team. The 1956-57 Council has chosen Professor Elwyn D. Hancock, of the Elec- trical Engineering Department as the Faculty Advisor. Professor Hancock's comments and suggestions have proved to be of great assistance when im- portant issues had to be ruled upon. A f-.X Left to Right: A. Andrezjak, Judicial Chair- mang R.

From the beginning the response of the student body to this organization has been excellent. There have been ski trips during the early months of 1957 which, while not having the entire club present, have proved very satisfactory and prom- ise great things for the coming season. It is hoped that a racing team can be organized to compete in ski meets in the midwest in the near future. ARCHITECTURAL CLUB al Left to Right: B. Chapman, Vice-Presidentg J. Zacc agni, President: D. Leash, Secretary. The Architectural Club was founded for the purpose of increasing interest in architec- ture by providing extra-curricular activities for the student. The Club is a junior chapter of the American Institute of Architecture, and all members are entitled to its benefits. Many lectures, by world renown architects, are sponsored each year by the A.I.A., as well as banquets and business meetings promoting the advancement of the profession. During the winter months several very successful day-night meetings were held. High- lighting these meetings were lectures and slides on recent developments of historical and contemporary architecture both in the United States and in Europe. The annual banquet, one of the most outstanding events of the Club, at which an out- standing speaker is present, serves to renew old friendships and to better acquaint student members with the Alumni. Broaden his outlook, test the reliability of his judgement, quicken his personal accomp- lishment, enrich himself through new friendships, prestige, and opportunity, are all brought about through these varied activities.

Club has been an out- standing example of club activity at Lawrence Tech. This club was founded with the express hope and belief that something constructive could be ac- complished by the seniors of Lawrence Tech. in their spare time. The purpose of this organization is not only to aiford social activity for the student but also to translate engineering principles and theory into practical applications. 136 fa -i A Looks good enough to eat.

The individual member of SAM is presented with the opportunity for well rounded development in the field of management, not only by taking what the Society has to offer, but also by contributing his own ideas. The university chapters attempt to bring the student closer to the business world by bringing them into contact with business leaders through publica- tions and direct contact at meetings. It also serves as a medium for the ex- change and circulation of information on the problems, policies, and tech- niques of the industry and management. Through the development of management philosophy, the student en- hances the broadening of his outlook, the reliability of his judgement and the quickening of his personal accomplishment, enabling him to enrich him- self through new friendships, prestige, and opportunity.

In recent years, one of the prime focal points for the attention of the student and of the hundreds of colleges through- out the country has been the athletic activity of the Blue Devils. In basketball, fencing, and other intercollegiate sports, these representatives of LIT have made the Blue Devil insignia highly respected. During the past year, due to the moving of the campus to its new location and the hiring of a new basketball coach, the Blue Devils had a rather poor season. Since most of the players will return for the next season, it appears that once again LIT will be a tough team to meet. However, the one great success achieved by these athletic representatives of LIT was in demonstrating that athletics on our campus is an embodiment of the clean, friendly spirit of amateur competition.

The fencing team of Lawrence Tech. began its comeback with a very favor- able record against stiff competition. This year's team had Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame as some of its opponents. With such strong teams from the middle West as opponents, the school can take pride in their 4070 Victory record. x 'Q 'Q' 1 . fi ' A I x R ' 1' .. ' fu-.

The sport of bowling is one of the fastest growing in the Detroit area and the team fielded by Tech. this year shows that the student body is taking a greater interest in the sport. This year over one hundred and fifty students tried out for the team. Of this number only twelve were chosen to represent Lawrence Tech. in the season. The first team is shown above and the second team is on the next page. So close were the tryouts this year that only ten pins separated the highest and lowest aver- age bowlers on the team. This season saw the Tech. kegglers play match games with Assumption, and D.I.T., while they also represented Tech. at the U. of D. and Toledo tournaments. - Standing, Left to Right: J. Parker, R.

Common Interest being the general well being of the college itself. The fraternities obtain this objective by instilling and practicing the principles of brotherhood, comradeship and hu- mility by providing group discussions and by educating the men in the social graces. Since 1932 when the first fraternity, Phi Kappa Upsilon, was founded on the campus, fraternity life has been playing a very important role in setting the standards that are helping Law- rence Tech to progress.

Each year the office of chairman is rotated and is held this year by lVilliam Rankin of Alpha Gamma Upsilon. The I.F.C. was organized to investigate the scholastic requirements of each prospective member of the various fraternities, regulate the opening dates of the rush seasons, correlate the social calendars of the fraternities to avoid conflicts, and coordinate inter-fraternity functions. 4Through the I.F.C. the common goal of the fraternities, The betterment of the high ideals of Lawrence Tech, may be reached. 4.,, 2 t 'Q X:--P isa ,i t .ye mix .

Since its formation in 1933 as the fifth chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon, the Epsilon chapter has been a driving force in the growth of Lawrence Tech. In 1937, the chapter became the first fraternity on campus to have its own house, which it retained until World War II. It became a regular sup- plier of Student Council officers and representatives in the various organiza- tions at L.I.T. Epsilon was instrumental in the formation of the Inter- Fraternity Council and has always had its members on Techfs athletic teams. Nationally, Alpha Gamma Upsilon is one of the fastest growing fraternities in the country. It achieved national status in 1949 and has since expanded from the Midwest into the East with more expansion imminent. This year saw the second annual Winter Waltz, a very successful dance, which was held in January. The success of this event has established it as one of the highlights of Techfs social season. With an ever-increasing membership and the formation of an alumni chapter, as well as the backing of such projects as the Winter Waltz, Epsilon can look forward to an age of progress and prosperity. fix.-I-Q.

Kappa Phi Sigma . . . A name that has grown in significance around Law- rence Tech. Organized in 1950, it has done its share to promote better col- lege relationships, thru its members who held various student offices. The year has seen the youngest Fraternity on Campus take studies, some- times seemingly over their heads, but always toward a goal. It was a year that saw the first annual convention become a sterling suc- cessg a growing membershipg a 200 club fund driveg broken New Years resolutionsg treasure hunts, where the participants got lost and the hunt was for themg charges into the northern Boondocks by a stalwart crew of individuals. It was a year of seriousness, with its share of levity, heartaches and hap- piness. In the future we may look back upon this portion of our lives with a fond remembrance of the achievements of KAPPA PHI SIGMA. ,E MEMBERSHIP 1 Row 1, Left to Right: R. Shiner, P. Bush, W.

The Michigan Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity was founded at Lawrence Institute of Technology in 1948 by twelve men seeking to develop a spirit of brotherhood and to promote interest in social and scholas- tic activities. Achievement of the goal was obtained by sundry social activities such as the food concession at the Michigan State Fair and the annual Millionaires' Party, which are the prime fund-raising activities. The money earned from these various events were put into the Kappa Sigma Kappa Building Fund which, some day, will be used to build a fraternity house on the proposed Fraternity Row. ' Social events for the year included the Presentation Banquet held at Tassie's Tavern, Wiener roasts, softball games, bowling team, and Halloween parties. The spirit of brotherhood and constructive thinking is a valuable integration of Kappa Sigma Kappa and its actions are a function of our fraternity. Q 31: R. Barto. R. T. Barto. E.

Lawrence brought with him from U. of D. the dream of Lawrence Tech., he also brought many men of ex- cellent foresight who wanted something extra from education. Among those men, several found that they had many things in common, including great friendship and trust in one another. Unlike many others who went their ways, these men, with the help of brother Lawrence, decided to encourage and promote this mutual trust and friendship. At that time, in the summer of 1932, the fraternity was concieved. Now, on the 25th anniversary of Phi Kappa Upsilon, as we look back on the hard work and organization of these first few men and others who followed, our fraternity appears before us like the stately oak tree whose limbs provide us with faith, honesty, and love of our fellow man. Through these past 25 years we have done many things to nourish the great oak tree. Trips through industrial plants in our great city, contribu- tions to the blood drives, outstanding sales during the school building fund drive, hard work to represent our school and our fraternity at the Michigan State Fair with our food concession, and representation on the Student Council as well as practically every club on the campus, have done much to turn heads in our direction.

The Phi Kappa Upsilon fraternity is represented in day school by the Delta chapter and in night school by the Alpha chapter. The total active membership including our alumni chapter numbers nearly 200 men. Edu- cators who represent the 'iline of thoughtn of our fraternity are Dr. G. P. Brewington, Dr. E. Graeffe, and Mr. Schenkel. These men have been mem- bers for quite some time and we are proud of their accomplishments and methods used in the classroom to provide a better education for those at- tending Lawrence Tech. Although We are an Engineering fraternity, whose ideals are to promote higher learning, we still Find time for social functions. Dances, Parties, Weiner roasts, and good old bull sessions , attract the more active members, for they know that, 'tall work and no play makes Jack a dull boy . 181 MEMBERSHIP 692655 Row 1.

Hancock, Faculty Advisor. 'KTo develop a high standard of morals and character, encourage scholar- ship, and develop honor and loyalty among the students of the Alma Mater is the purpose of Rho Delta Phi Fraternity, In early 1938. sixteen men realized the need for a new social fraternity. With the help of Dean Hendrrichson they banded together to form the Alpha Chapter of Rho Delta Phi Fraternity in November, 1938. Many hours into weeks were spent planning and organizing the constitution, the pledge man- ual, and the pledge season. March 5, 1939, marked the official inception of Rho Delta Phi as fourteen charter members received their pins and certifi- Cates. Throughout the year there have been many successful social functions, both stag and drag. sf' .uw vu- A Bring on the food 'Tm starved A good time was had by all.

Sigma Kappa Psi was founded in November of 1951 by a group of students interested in establishing a fraternity for the Technical Institute. Since then this farternity has strived to develop a spirit of botherhood, to create loyalty among membership, to establish loyalty to the Institute in which this fraternity is located, and, to encourage social forensic, athletic and especially scholastic activities. The fraternity has several social functions every year. Particularly enjoy- able are the pledge mixers held each term. At the mixer that was held in December at the Danish American Sportsman Club, Mr. Arnold Blythe, our faculty advisor, received an honorary membership in the fraternity. This event was witnessed by two other faculty members, Mr. R. Dulaney and Mr. G. Graves. s S, N t. rx t .t xg Q ,I H Rm Wmgxw 1 R x f , gm nm. X . :x , NYS? N. X X I . - 5 f 1: L X I if J. E.

We live in such an atmosphere at Detroit Edison. a company internationally known for its bold, imaginative engineering. But letls be specific. Soon it's going to be sound economics for us to transmit energy at 345 kv. There's not much precedent to draw ong much remains to be clarified about system design. operation. radio interference. line losses, relays. system integration. lightning performance. Where does the challenge stop? Or take the problem of heat exchange. We're deep in atomic power plant design. where sodium is the primary coolant. Efficient heat exchange is essential! Therels the same problem with respect to gas turbines and critical-pressure boilers, too. We also plan to use our digital computers. and like equipment, in new, untried ways. Applying them to engineering and management problems, for example. But it will take time AND talent to do some creative engineering first.

That was expansion, too, and the new pro- gram will enable enrollment to be increased from 2,800 students to 5,000. As a technical school, LIT is serving an extremely useful and necessary purpose in this highly industrialized area. And the impressive thing is that, as a private school, it has been able to keep pace with modern demands without recourse to the taxpayer's pocketbook. We don't know exactly what magic formula the LIT administration ern- ploys. But we are impressed by the apparent fact that free enterprise can be as successfully applied in the field of technical education as in business and industry.
