' ::- ' W I PRACTISE — Is needed so that students can apply the theories which they have learned and not become professors. To give students plenty of opportunity to practise the University has provided laboratories valued with equipment at over $4,000,000. In these expensive laboratories, students make trivial mistakes, are corrected, learn how to avoid making such mistakes in the future. This system has been very effective, especially in engi- neering fields, in preventing graduates from making expensive mistakes on trivial jobs. Practise makes perfect, the psychology department tells us, only when the practise is done correctly. This is assured at Lehigh where in all departments, professionally-trained faculty members closely supervise the laboratory work done on experiments planned in all cases by experts in their respective fields.

In time these ten called upon the alumni to elect six additional members so that today the board numbers sixteen. Lehigh ' s charter, as approved by Mr. Packer, gives them the extensive powers needed to insure the continuance of Lehigh as one of the nation ' s leading universities. Through the years, the high quality of Lehigh ' s trustees, their excellent judgment, their interest expressed in time and money have made possible our outstanding physical plant and enviable achievements in scholarship. With Asa Packer, we can say, they have kept faith. Walter Raleigh Okeson (left), C.E. ' 96, secretary of the Board of Trustees and treasurer of Lehigh University since 1923, was Lehigh ' s first full-time alumni secretary. An end on the football team for four years, he has retained his interest in the sport. He officiated for many years then as commissioner of Eastern football selected the officials. Now he is chairman of the rules committee. Eugene Gifford Grace (right), E.E. ' 99, president of the Board of Trustees since 1924, was valedictorian of his class. Joining the Bethlehem Steel Company, he rose rapidly to the presidency. In 1912 he was made an alumnus trustee and since 1913 has served as a corporate member. 27
