Stand, loyal sons of L.T.I., Join one and all our hearts and hands. Stand, loyal sons and ' til we die, We ' ll pay the homage she demands. Live once more with old college mates; Laugh once more while time hesitates; And in this way, though years may go, Our common bond will grow and grow. Stand, loyal sons of L.T.I., Your Alma Mater calls to you. Stand, loyal sons do not deny The promise that all remain true. Let her be proud of what we are, Guard her ideals though near or far; For in this way our school won ' t die, But always live, Hail, L.T.I.

search Laboratories, Mr. W. H. Boeker of the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Company and many other scientists give to the participants the latest developments in all phases of the textile industry that will prove valuable to the men when they return to their respective positions in industry. In the future the Foundation expects to expand its activities to include fields other than textiles, such as paper, leather, and plas- tics. This trend is in keeping with the aim of the Institute to expand the scope of its tech- nical curricula. The Foundation is proceeding to establish a program of academic fellowships whereby the members of the Institute ' s faculty will be granted leaves of absence for a period of a year. This work will be of a fundamental, theoretical nature, not for a specific sponsor. In accordance with the established policy, the Foundation has undertaken to encourage graduate fellowship programs at the Institute. The Research Fellowships established during this first year of the Foundation have served as a mechanism to integrate the teaching and research functions of the faculty as well as to provide a service to the industry for the ac- complishment of basic research and the train- ing of qualified research personnel. Continued efforts in this direction will be made in ac- cordance with a plan to satisfy the demand of an educational institution operating at the graduate level for a full complement of grad- uate students in all departments. The Celanese Corporation of America has set the pace for this program by the establish- ment of two academic fellowships in the Foundation which are now being actively pursued by carefully selected students. An industrial fellowship plan has been in- augurated to encourage post-graduate research within the Foundation. Fellows are sponsored by industry to pursue programs of research at the Institute that are specifically dictated by the wishes of the sponsor but are performed in the Foundation laboratories under the supervision of a senior staff member. These fellowship programs are built on a long range design, and the work is of a continuing na- ture which can be performed by several fel- lows either independently or as a research team. All these aims are in harmony with the policy of the Foundation to keep pace with the needs of industry and with the growth of the Institute. 10

Along the bridge the Monarch rode, Proudly his red-roan charger trode, His helm hung at the saddle bow; Well by his visage you might know He was a stalwart knight and keen, And had in many a battle been; Behind him rode two gallant squires, Of noble name and knightly sires; -r They burned the gilded spurs to claim, For well could each a war horse tame, Could draw the bow, the sword could sway, And lightly bear the ring away. Sir Walter Scott •i S M K« 12
