TECH TODAY School has Changed a great deal these last few months Wars cause that sort of thing. Life in general at one moment will be all settled and at the next it will be in a complete turmoil. lt makes things a little tough, but no one really seems to mind Like every other person or group of persons in the Country, the fellows here at school have had to adjust themselves to the world situation in order that their efforts will be of real value to the country as a whole So that their services will be at the disposal of the nation somewhat sooner, the Class of 1942 is to be grad- uated from the Institute on April 27. This was in Com- pliance with the general statement issued by the Presi- dent in which he recommended that all student engineers be placed in industry as soon as possible. Tentatively it is planned that the junior class will continue its work at the Institute through the summer and fall and be gradu- Student designers collaborate in solving a problem in xnaehine design Under the great dome, students and faculty rnake use of one of the worltl's niost complete technological libraries

Little has thus far been done by the Institute administration to effect any changes in the other student schedules. The main objection to placing the Institute on a tvvo-year basis is a Well- founded one, in that men who have four years of en- gineering literally forced into them would be graduated mentally stale and Would have insufficient years to mature from the time they left high school. It is an application of an old rule which demands quality and not just quantity. Classes in general are pretty much the same except that several of the engineering courses have introduced to their regular curriculum nevv subjects which are in- tended to bring the student closer to changes in industry caused by the vvar. An example is the course in the Solution of War Administration Problems which the department of Business and Engineering Administration added to its curriculum. This course was added at the .
