Because the massive structure of its buildings, the somber expressions on the faces of its faculty, and the harried looks of its students all tend to give the inipression that lVI.I.T. is a place to work-never to play-we have deliberately done our utmost to feature the informal spirit which pervades Tech. When you removed the jacket of this volume, you most likely were taken aback. As engineers, you should not have been. The engin- eering world has constantly emphasized that natural materials have an honest beauty of their own. Hence our cover cloth unashamed, unadorned and unupholstered, and our stamping real gold. In going through the section on Tech Today, we hope that you will grasp the idea of bigness-big buildings, big laboratories, big names, yet we also hope that you will catch the spirit of the individu- als who go to make up the faculty and student body, for these people are human, accessible and friendly, each is a definite personality. contributing his part to make Tech what it is today. While turning the pages of TECHNIQUE you will probably notice that the conventional order of material has been altered drastically. Feeling that those parts of the book which have universal appeal should come first, we have, this year, placed first those activities which concern all members of the student body. As a result of this policy, the faculty and senior portfolios have, because of their individualized interest, been put at the back of the book. CH TODAY.
