Foreword A lthough many reasons for the existence of a yearbook have been concocted during the years, they certainly all boil down to one; to wit, bringing back memories of beloved college days to the graduates many years after they have strolled through the gates with degree in hand. Many times, as one sits in his easy chair, looking through his collection of yearbooks, a panorama of happy college days flashes through his mind. Who is to say that such reminiscing is not a great aid to contented existence? In an attempt, and, we think, a fairly successful one, to compile a record for posterity, the 1950 Pickout has been packed with memory -provoking pictures, stories recalling the happenings of the past year, and a theme that truly represents the present trend of affairs at L.T.I. These things have been carefully designed and included in such a fashion that they promote a con- secutive train of thought in the mind of the reader, for from such thinking come the more personal memories of the individual. Let these mementos of the fourth and last year for some, and the first, second, or third for others, always be given a conspicuous place on the book- shelf, that the wealth of recollection stirred thereby may be readily and frequently tapped.

In Memoriam I t was with sincere sorrow that the faculty and student body of Lowell Textile Institute learned of the death of the widely known educator and textile consultant who had been the Head of the Wool Department at the Institute for nine years. Professor Brown died on December 13, 1949, as a result of injuries sustained in the crash of his airplane two months before. Born in Raymond, New Hampshire, Professor Brown re- ceived his secondary education in Haverhill. While he was enrolled at Lowell Textile School, the First World War broke out. Interrupting his studies, Professor Brown’s distinguished service to his country brought to him the Silver Star citation and graduation from Saumer Artillery School. He graduated from Textile in 1921, after which he was associated with several New England textile mills. In 1929, Professor Brown returned to Textile as an Assistant Professor in the Wool Department. Taking additional courses, he re- ceived his M.S. in Textile Engineering. His fraternal interests were many, especially in Masonry, in which he had risen to the 32nd degree. He was also a member of Phi Psi Fraternity. Professor Brown will long be remembered by those who studied under him and by those with whom he had come in contact.
