Compton Serving Technology in War and in Peace Dedicated to President Karl T. Compton To Karl T. Compton for his ability, integrity, understanding, and service as the President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for these past fifteen years, we dedicate Volume LXI of Technique. May 8, 1943 Karl Taylor Compton. Winter s Brilliance Eleventh President of the Institute Fifteen years ago, in 1 930, Karl Taylor Compton became the eleventh president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He came to the Institute at the beginning of the Depression and brought the Institute through this period without deficits, emergency campaign funds, or salary cuts, and reached the end of the Depression with a stronger staff and a more intensified program in research and teaching. Under his administration, the George Eastman Labora- tories of Physics and Chemistry were planned and built, and stand today not only as a center but as a symbol of a fruitful union between pure and applied science. During fifteen years, by his eflfective interpretation of the ideals and objec- tives of science. President Compton has helped to establish higher goals for science and new faith in its power to do good not only at his own institution but in the world of science in general. From the very beginning he has empha- sized the new frontiers which pure and applied science can open to national enterprise and the benefits which scientific development can bring through the establishment of new industries and in the creation of the necessary conditions for a rising standard of living. In this way he has maintained Speakers ' Dais at Dr. Complon ' s Inaugural Dr. Compton and his predecessor, Dr. Stratton, after the inauguration Walker Memorial Building and broadened the conception of this institution which has existed from the beginning as a private institution devoted to purposes of the widest public and national significance. Coming to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from Princeton University, where he had been Re- search Professor and Chairman ol the Department of Physics, Dr. Compton has been able to make notable contributions to the development of fundamental research. His own studies in the field of Physics are embodied in more than one hundred publications dealing with pho toelectricity, ionization of gases, soft X-ravs, spectros- copy in the extreme ultraviolet, fluorescence and the dissociation of gases, electric arcs and other types of gas discharge, and other subjects. The Rumford Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the most distinguished scien- tific honors in the world, was awarded Dr. Comptcn in 1931 in recognition of his contributions to the field of thermionics, the study of electron emission from hot films and cathodes, and of spectroscopics, the investigation of matter by means of light waves. He was elected to the presidency of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1934, and is a leading member of many other scientific societies. Under Dr. Compton ' s admin- istration, new Institute facilities for education and research include the Wright Brothers Wind Tun- nel, a laboratory for Gas Turbine research, the Sloan Automotive Laboratories, the Van de Craaff high voltage generator, a cyclotron, and a labora- tory for the development of high voltage short- wave X-ray generators. ATOMIC POWER . . . Developed by experimentation with the cyclotron and Van de Graaff Generator Dr. Compton has always stressed the opportunities and obligations for scientifically trained men to render public service, and he himself has made a generous contribution of time to public service. Back in his Princeton days, during the last war, he served with the United States Signal Corps where he was engaged in the develop- ment of submarine detecting devices. The Armistice in 191 8 found him in Paris where he had been appointed Associate Scientific Attache to the United States Embassy. With the approach of the present war, long before the danger signals were generally recognized, Dr. Comp- ton was among the first public figures of importance to call attention to the growing dangers of a critical situa- tion. Again and again in public addresses, he sought to arouse the public to vigilance and preparation, and he was among the first to point out the vital contributions which science could make to national defense. More than a year before the outbreak of hostilities, he began directing the research energies of M.I. T. to war problems, with the result that Technology has become a great center for war research. Its temporary budget now totals $40,000,000 and its personnel is over five times the peacetime total of staff and employees. All this has only been possible by wise and farseeing administrative decisions, sometimes risky, but which have proved in the long run of notable importance to the war effort. Dr. Compton has been a member of the National Defense Research Committee since its establishment in 1 940, and since 1 943 he has been Chief of the Office of Field Service of the Office of Scientific Research and Development. His war activi- ties have also included membership on the Baruch Rubber Committee in 1942. His most recent assignment is that of Chairman of the Research Bureau for National Security, a long-range post-war agency established in February 1945 to organize and administer a Ibrward-looking pro- gram of research in scientific matters pertaining to national security. . The full story of his war activities will of course have to wait unti the end of the war, but they have been undouljtcdly aljsorbing and have sometimes carried Dr. Compton far afield. BARUCH RUBBER COMMITTEE Dr. Conant, Mr. Baruch, Dr. Compton A phase oj Technology Research Thus, in 1943, he was Chairman of an important mission to England, and during the same year he made a 28,000 mile inspection trip which took him to the headquarters of General McArthur in Australia and to the New Guinea fighting zone to study the use of scientific devices under active ser- vice conditions in the Southwestern Pacific. As everyone knows, Dr. Compton comes from a family with very deep academic roots. His father. Dr. Elias Compton, was one of the great teachers of his time in the College of Wooster where for many years he was Professor of Philosophy and Dean. I sometimes think that our Dr. Compton must inherit from his father the same broad hum- anistic interests and a singular capacity as a coun- sellor to analyze and suggest solutions for the puzzling problems of other people. Something, Compton on a war mission to the Pacific Technology s service flag The Institute at night too, must have been gained through contact with sports; for back at the College of Wooster there is still a tradition that Karl Compton is the only graduate who in his senior year earned his letters in basketball, baseball and football and also man- aged to graduate with high distinction. Probably it is no accident that the three Compton brothers, after distinguished careers in related fields, have now become presidents of important American educational institutions. Dr. Compton knows better than anyone else that nothing in the United States can ever stand still, least of all a great educational institution like M.I.T. In characteristic fashion he is already thinking of the days ahead in which, for the eighth time in less than 200 years, victory will open in America new doors of opportunity. Already plans have been made for the establishment of an Elec- tronics Laboratory as a joint enterprise of the De- partments of Physics and Electrical Engineering, and for a new Library with expanded functions to serve both as a great scientific library and as a center for the whole cultural life of the Ihstitution. New units will include a dormitory and gym- nasium. Above all, in old fields and new, M.LT. will seek a staff of outstanding experts ' marked, ' in Dr. Compton ' s words, ' not alone by individual brilliance, but by a homogeneous strength that insures cooperative creative work. ' R. G. C. DO Ot -r? Organizations at the Institute per- form a very vital part in the hfe of the undergraduate. Because the student affairs are run entirely by the students with no assist- ance from counselors or advisors, the undergrad- uate learns the important job of self-administration. This applies to class officers as well as the publications and other activities. It is this policy that tends to develop character, leadership, and initiative which so characterize a graduate of Technology. . . . 6Ai4iXf. toKfetUe 4fte £ a Oi devela tU in cantinxut intenedti stitute Committee... a working The Institute is one of the few major colleges in the country in which the various activities are handled entirely by the undergraduates. The controlling hand for all these activities is the Institute Committee. In its members are vested many powers that few in other colleges have. In order to meet any problems that might con- front it, the Institute Committee has been designed to be both efficient and thorough in its work. In order to obtain a genuine cross-section of the stu- dent body ' s opinion and yet not be awkward, the Institute Committee is composed of representatives of the four undergraduate classes and of the major activities. Each class is represented by the president and two members-at-large. In addition there are four standing sub-committees — the Walker Memo- rial Committee, Budget Committee, Elections Committee, and Student-Faculty Committee. The residential groups are represented by the Chairman of the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Chairman of the Dormitory Committee, and the President of the 5:15 Club, in the organization of the committees. The Class A activities, such as the publications, are represented by their respective president or chair- man. KIRK DRUMHELLER President D.WID A. TRAGESER Vice President JAMES S. CRAIG Secretary HERBERT J. HANSELL Member-at-large [20] experiment in real student democracy Weighing the evidence Through its control of the finances of the student activities; its veto power over the amendments to their constitutions; its right to grant or deny official recognition to the undergraduate organ- izations; and its power to approve or disapprove the major appointments and elections of the Class A activities, the Institute Committee has the oppor- tunity to insure that all undergraduate extra- curricula activities are conducted to the best interests of the student body. Recent steps taken by the Institute Committee have been to organize a committee tor administer- ing the freshman rules, something that has been handled rather poorly during the past two years. Recognizing the needs of the returning veterans, a committee composed of veterans now at the Institute has been formed. It will be their task to anticipate and prepare for any changes necessary when the anticipated group of veterans enters in the fall.

BUELL Chairman Pennypinchers Bill Semple balances the books The Budget Committee, as a subcommittee of the Institute Committee, has charge of the funds of many of Tech ' s activities. Among these are the Debating Society, the Music Clubs, and the various classes. Controlling such a vital commodity as money, of course, brings many headaches to the Chairman and his assistants. No matter how gen- erously the Chairman may think he is doling out the shekels, no one is ever satisfied. The Debating Society and the Music Clubs annually send up a delegation to the second floor in Walker to plead and beg. The Chairman is a hard-hearted fellow, however, and the delegation always departs with less than what they had wished, for the Chairman always wins these fights. And well he might, for in the background lurk the Bursar and Treasurer of the Institute with their indisputable facts and figures. The Budget Committee also indirectly controls the four undergraduate publications. The Chair- man receives sporadic and often questionable reports from these giants on the Tech campus. It is then his job to interpret these confusing papers and check on any too irregular goings-on. udget Comm. controls finances [22] The Walker Memorial Committee, as originally organized, was to supervise those activities situated in Walker Memorial, but since has taken over numerous other tasks. The members of the Com- mittee regulate the use of the facilities of Walker and are in charge of scheduling all meetings and dances held there. In addition, these dances are supervised both financially and socially by ' the Committee. The Committee also keeps all activitv constitutions and enforces the Points System. The Committee also writes to the preparatory or high schools of those men elected to class officers or activities. The organization consists of a chairman who is a senior and a member of the Institute Committee, three juniors, six sophomores, and three or four freshmen. Every year the Walker Committee holds a competition for all interested freshmen and from these selects the most qualified. The Chairman, in addition to being a member of the Institute Com- mittee, is chairman of the Freshman Smoker and Summer Activities Committee. DAVID P.

The Com- mittee must conduct and publicize all general student elections. The election of officers and mem- bers to Freshmen Council, Junior Prom Commit- tee, Beaver Key Society, Senior Week and all class offices is under the control of the Elections Com- mittee. The preferential type ballot now used in M.I.T. elections means more work in counting and tab- ulation by the Committee. It is generally felt how- ever, that this type ballot is much fairer than the types employed previously. The Committee consists of a chairman, who is a senior and a member of the Institute Committee, and twelve associate members from the other classes. Since the principal function of the Elections Committee is to conduct the important democratic process of election, membership on this Committee is both a worthwhile achievement and a great responsibility.

This link was organized shortly after World War I to help the administration change from a three-semester schedule back to the peacetime program. The effectiveness of the Committee led to its establishment as a permanent organization. The Committee will play an equally major role when this war has ended and we are confronted with a myriad of new problems. Matters discussed at the Institute Committee are first presented to the representatives of the faculty and students. They, in turn, offer recom- mendations to those concerned before action of a definite nature is taken by the Institute Committee. All of this work is carried on by the eight members of the Committee who act without publicity. As little attention is called to the Committee ' s workings, their reforms often go unrecognized except by those immediately concerned. D.WID A.

Fassett, Jr. HENRY B. KANE Chairman The various publications at Technology are undoubtedly the outstanding activities on the campus. They provide extracurricula work that enriches their members with writing, organization, and management experience. The four Tech under- graduate publications are The Tech, Voo Doo, The Tech Engineering Mews, and Technique. The Tech, though reduced to a weekly publica- tion since the war, presents the news of the Insti- tute to the student body. Technique, as the year- book, describes in a permanent manner the under- graduate ' s activities in the years he is at the Insti- tute. The Tech Engineering News publishes articles on scientific and engineering subjects by the students and Institute professors. Voo Doo as the comic magazine provides relief from the rigors of Tech life. The Advisory Council on Undergraduate Pub- lications was created for the purpose ot assisting the publications in case of unforeseen difficulties and to act in an advisory capacity to the members of the various publications when called upon. [26] and forgives us our trespass The four publications, Technique, The Tech, Voo Doo, and the Tech Engineering News, organized the Gridiron many years ago. The members are selected from the four publica- tions with only men who have done outstanding work on these staffs being elected to the Society. The Gridiron has several aims. One is to make a stronger bond between the students and faculty and among the students themselves. Various dis- cussion periods are held at which members criti- cize and offer suggestions to the other publications concerning make-up and editorial material. During peacetime, the Gridiron Society ' s main activity was to offer subscriptions to the four publi- cations to the entering freshmen. These were sold at reduced rates to interest the freshmen in the publications and present the advantages that can be derived as a member of one of the publications. The members have a chance to get to know each other at the rousing initiation banquet held each year. GRIDIRON Curt B. Beck Dean Bedford, Jr. T. Nicholas Ber lage, Jr. Christopher G. Boland Noel N.

OXENHAM General Manager The first work on the June 1945 Technique was rather delayed because the volume for the class of October 1944 did not make its appearance until the following March. Thus the work on Volume 61 did not begin until the middle of March 1945. Al Oxenham as General Manager, Russ Dostal as editor, and Kirk Drumheller composed the Senior Board. The Board immediately launched into the first steps of the complicated job of forming a new yearbook. The dummy was completed in the record time of four weeks and carried a completely new theme. At the suggestion of Al Oxenham and Kirk Drumheller, a beaver theme was selected as the basis on which the book was to be modeled. Thus Volume 61 was launched along more uniform ways than had characterized the preceding volumes. The War Production Board retrictions were still in effect and so the book could not return to its former large size. We therefore had to be content with the smaller war-time size. Cover restrictions had been somewhat relaxed and so we were able to obtain the padded covers which have been a mark of Technology yearbooks for many years. Under the capable direction of Rich Adler, the photographic staff was able to meet a short four month deadline on the many photographs to be needed in the book. The photographic staff like RUSSELL K.

It was therefore necessary for a few men to carry on the burden that once had been borne by many. But such are the problems that confront the senior boards of yearbooks throughout the country. We feel it appropriate at this time to give heart- felt thanks to three, who not members of the staff, did so much on the book. They are Dino Valz, our advisor, who contributed so much to the planning of the book as he has done for so many years past, Barbara Drury of the Worcester Engraving Com- pany for the interest and help she so generously contributed, and Harold Johnson of the Andover Press for the many extra hours he spent helping us with the technical aspects of printing the year- book.

BRAYTON General Manager When we walked into Room 303 in the Walker Memorial we could find only one occupant. A disreputably nondescript-looking cat named Phos- phorus. He said Hello to us and we said Hello to him and then we asked him about this outfit called Voo Doo. Well, said the cat, I might know something about it and then again I might not. Gotta drink? So we poured out a little concoction we ' d mixed out of wood alcohol and prussic acid especially for people like him and repeated our question. ' ' Voo Doo said the Cat meditatively, yes, I ' ve been putting it out for some years now. It seems that a long time ago when M.I.T. was ruled by the scowl and the slide rule I got together and whipped up the Woop Garoo Society to publish a magazine to bring to the students and faculty a little of the humor of the outside world tailored to their own very peculiar needs. This magazine, of course, is the one that is known as Voo Doo. But Cat, we said, isn ' t that an awful lot of work for one small tabby like yourself? For comic relief of long-faced engineers [32 WALTER KISLUK Make-up Editor JACK L. URETSKV Literary Editor Hrrmph, said the Cat. Yes, it is true that my various other interests have prevented me ti-om spending all of my time on the magazine, but through the years I ' ve alv ays had reasonably able assistance. For example, I started out this year with able, intelligent Pete Schwab at my masthead with H. Paul Grant ably assisting. Both were scuttlebutted by the Navy. Yes, sir, sabotaged. But in my own inestim Yes, Cat, we interrupted, but can ' t you tell us a little about the magazine itself? We want something to put in Technic ue for the old grads to look back on. It seems to me, said the Cat, that it would be more to the point for them to look back on old copies of Voo Doo. How about another drink? So we poured out some more of the concoction. The thing about Voo Don continued the Cat, is that it is so un-Technical. Take the men who work on it, for example. Most of them don ' t know an integral sign from a hole in the ground. Their chief interest in life is putting out a magazine. JOHN F. M.

And once a year they put on a smoker for the frosh. What an outfit that is. Here the cat started dancing around on one leg. They used to bring a strip-teaser over here who ' d do things with a set of tassels that would make my muscles quiver! My God, what an exhibition! Then I ' ll never forget the final issue that came out this year. I did a take-off on Harper ' s Bazaar that reall y set the place on its ear. Sometimes I ' m so good I even frighten me.

There ' s no arguing with that cat. ■ ■ H WKM IH BHI IPIFBHIH KT I H I HIHI ■nn IPii r jM ifep l W B i TJ Tl ' ' •SMk lE I wy Wt- V «! f rN i l n Ki I IK m ■K ., 19 DHH Kl _ Pv ■IH H j jH Ihhd Row: A.

COE Managing Editor Clattering typewriters, swirling clouds of cig- arette smoke, and raucous humor all seem to be essentials oi a newspaper office. So it is in the offices of The Tech. But it takes more than these to bring out a newspaper. When the last form is locked up, the paper is put to bed, and the weary night editor wends his way home, it is but the culmination of many hours of hard and diligent work. Now in its sixty-fifth year, The Tech. the In- stitute ' s oldest activity, has for over half a century fulfilled its purpose of bringing to the student body clear, concise, and accurate news reports of hap- penings around the Institute. Publishing official notices and bulletins is but a minor part of this service. For the major part of the news the re- porters must go out and get the facts on their as- signed stories. Supplementing the regular news stories, The Tech also carries features on subjects of interest to the average Tech man. The war, with its resultant shortages of man- power and paper, has somewhat hampered opera- tion of The Tech. Bi-weekly publication had to be suspended in favor of a weekly and, with the last ARTHUR SCHIFF Business Manager 36 four complete pages volume, the size of the paper was cut in hali . But this has not prevented it from fulfilhng its primary- duty as the undergraduate newspaper of the Mass- achusetts Institute of Technology. Its editorial columns strive to arouse student discussion and interest in current Institute problems and the Letters to the Editor present student views often diverging widely from those of the Managing Board. In spite of the smaller format, The Tech continues to bring to the undergraduates unbiased and accurate news stories, minus, of course, the smaller details which were published in the days of the larger sheet. It has long been the opinion of The Tech that a well informed and mentally alert student body is one of the best insurances for the continuance of the democratic student government at the Institute. It tries, through the printed word, to provide this service. The last years have been difficult, but it is certain that, as long as boys enter and engineers leave the Institute, The Tech will continue to serve the stu- dent body, and the cryptic -30- will appear on pages of cop)- as the staff puts each issue of the paper to bed.

HOWKIXS General Manager This is the end of the Tech Engineering News ' twenty-sixth year. The fledgeling publication of I gig has grown to a respectable size in this time, not without earning itself an enviable reputation. Even when, in ig43, the T.E.N, staff elected to continue publication rather than shut down be- cause of the war, the high standards of the maga- zine were maintained. T.E.N, prides itself on being a forward-looking and growing publication, even at this stage in its history. As an example, the publication of a sum- mer issue as the first number of Volume XXVI established a precedent, in spite of handicaps pre- sented by the war. The stafT of the next volume is adopting the summer issue as a regular practice for opening a new volume. With the cooperation of the E.C.M.A. — En- gineering College Magazines Associated — it should be easy to continue putting out summer issues. The E.C.M.A. is another feather in the T.E.N. ' s cap — founded twenty-three years ago, it has since spread until it has become nationally known. It has not only provided group advertising for its members, but it has stimulated cooperation among most of the engineering college magazines.

The Nautical Association and the white sails of the dinghies have become as much a symbol of Technology as the stately pillars of the main entrance. Sailing has been the most popular sport at Tech- nology for many years in regard to numbers ol students participating in a sport. The credit for this popularity in sailing can be justly attributed to the work of the Nautical Association. The members of the Association who are coxswains or boatswains are readily identified by the sinall nautical flag they wear in their lapels. It is their job, besides running the regatta and Saturday races, to instruct the novices in sailing and boat handling. The Nautical Association conducts a Shore School at the beginning of the fall term to teach the fundamentals of sailing to those who cannot tell a rudder from a bowline knot. Each year several hundred freshmen and a few score upper- classmen attend the school. After they have mastered the fundamentals of sailing and passed the required tests, they become crew members. This is but a high sounding word for it means that a crew member can do not much more than enter Circle: CH. ' RLE.S K. BLOOMER Commodore Above: On a starboard beat Left: Now you do it this way escape from science and slipstic [41] to a life of ease among the a dinghy as ballast. However, it is a step forward. The crew member accompanies the more ex- perienced sailors until he has gained the knack of handling the dinks, is thoroughly familiar with the rules of sailing and has gained sufficient experi- ence in rigging and breaking down a rigged dinghy. With this knowledge our prospective yachtsman is able to pass his helmsman test. The successful completion of this test entitles the man to take a dinghy out in the Basin on his own name any time he wishes. The man ' s progress from here on de- pends on his own ambition and the time he puts to mastering the finer points of sailing. Continued work will lead to the positions of racing skipper, Lawley skipper, coxswain, and boatswain. From the large group of potential skippers, Doc Lukens, M.LT. ' s new sailing team coach, picked the skippers that sailed Tech to the best season in its history. Doc accomplished this by first gleaning through the past years of racing and compiling all the knowledge, heretofore secret knowledge, that [42] dinghies on the choppy Charle previous skippers had gained from racing the dinghies. Then he began training crews as well as skippers for the varsity team. Under his guidance, Dick Worrell, a Waltham boy who had never sailed before coming to Tech, developed as the best skipper of the group. Chuck Blooiner, an experi- enced sailor from Lake Ontario became Dick ' s able teammate in the dual meets that followed. Their crews, an important factor in their success, were respectively Roger Emerson of Milton, Mass. and Johnny Hansen of Council Bluffs, Iowa. When- ever regattas required more than two teams, such boys as Leigh Brite, Dan Greenbaum, Al La- Fountain, and Mart Bromfield proved quite able. The regatta record proved the worth of Doc ' s coaching. Before Doc took over, Tech had lost every one of its ' 44 Spring season meets — the Oberg trophy went to Tufts; the Boston Dinghy Cup, the Coast Guard Bowl and the Morss Trophy to Coast Guard; the McMillan Cup to Harvard. A summer of intensive coaching provided a sharp contrast in the Fall Season. M.LT. won eight out of ten of the following meets. The Brown- M.LT. Invitation meet was tied and the Jack Wood Trophy was lost through a series of tough breaks. Dick Worrell received the highest indi- vidual totals of any skipper racing under the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association, a superb record for a person who had never sailed before. This year the spring season began with Tech winning the Oberg Trophy with the first perfect team score ever recorded in intercollegiate racing. The remainder of the season ' s regattas was domin- ated by a fast-sailing Coast Guard. Doc Lukens is looking forward to a successful fall series. Although both Worrell and Bloomer have left Tech, there are several good skippers who should be able to repeat last year ' s record. Second row: Black, Bloomer.

FUNCTIONS Employment Bureau Freshman C ' amp Religious Action Publications Boys Work T.C.A. Blood Donor Desk The T.O.A. is the service organization in the Tech family. As such, it is different from most activities in that its primary concern is not for the men engaged in it, but for the entire Institute Community. Every term T.C.A. service is rendered in hundreds of ways — from the simplest good turn such as the gift of textbooks to an alumnus veteran to the planned programs of Freshman Camp. The freshman entering the Institute first comes in contact with the T.C.A. when he receives its handbook, telling of the activities, clubs, fraterni- ties, traditions, songs and cheers of Tech. Probably he will be at the T.C.A. freshman camp and there will become acquainted with Dr. Compton, the staff, his classmates, the B.M.O.C. ' s and their activities and, most memorable of all, the Tech songs as sung by Obbie Dennison. If he is faced with rooming problems, he will find help from the T.C.A. room registry service or in the fraternity section of the handbook. If he wants second-hand books, he can make use of the book exchange. He can find his church through the church guide and at least one evening of inspiration through the Tech Embassy. CHRISTOPHER G. BOLAND } ' ice President 44. Christian Association Perhaps the Tech man is out for a good time. If so, he may well use the T.CI.A. ticket service or go with a group of pals (or gals) up to the Tech Cabin on the shores of Lake Massapoag, thirty miles north of Boston. Perhaps he will go to one of the acquaintance dances the T.C.A. runs with Wellesley, Simmons, and Wheaton. Later on he will come to know of the T.C.A. ' s information services, of the blotters distributed to all students, of the comics on the bulletin board which he may read to his heart ' s content. If his cash runs low, he can take advantage of the Under- graduate Employment Bureau and Mr. Aborn ' s service. Speaking of advice, that given by Professor Magoun in his marriage lectures is sound and sought after; his audiences are the biggest known to Huntington Hall. But the T.C.A. also goes out- side the school community. Drives are held for the World Student Service Fund, tor Russian War Relief, and the Red Cross. Up to date over three thousand pints of blood have been donated through Miss Houghton ' s blood donor desk. But most important of all, the way in which the T.C.A. IL1J. M F.

Over forty Tech men last year led clubs, taught crafts, coached sports, and conducted trips for some of Boston ' s less privileged youth. These men have made a significant contribution to the community ' s young folk, have rendered an unfor- gotten service to the city ' s settlement houses and Y.M.C.A., and have broadened their own back- grounds with a rich experience. The T.C.A. is the main Institute organization that is designed to help inform the entering fresh- men of the ways of the Institute. The freshman first comes in contact with the T.C.A. through the handbook which is mailed to him two or three weeks before entering the Institute. Two days prior to the beginning of classes the T.C.A. runs a Freshman Camp. Before the war the Camp was held at Lake Massapoag, not far from Boston. For the past three years, however, the locale has been limited to the Technology campus. The twenty- second Camp was held on a Friday and Saturday with 499 in attendance out of a class of 590, or BBoo or service war work ... Magoun [46 A945 85 ; ( • This was the highest percentage of ireshmen yet to attend a Camp. The Friday evening program was conducted by Dean Lobdell. On Saturday morning the heads of the Tech activities and sports captains gave short talks on the advantages of their particular organization. The freshman-coun- selor baseball game was played Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately without the famous Compton- Rhind battery. Athletic presentations were then made on Briggs Field to conclude a very successful Freshman Camp. At the suggestion of Mr. Ross, the T.C.A. has taken steps to initiate a weekly chapel service at the Institute. The T.C.A. ' s chapel service has been planned to be convenient, non-denomination- al, and worthwhile. Wednesday noons from 12:00 to 12:15 has been chosen as the time. The officiat- ing ministers will be chosen from all denominations approximately in the proportion that these de- nominations are represented in the student body. The chapel is being tried as an experiment and not necessarily as a permanent institution, but it is felt that a worthwhile endeavor such as this cannot help but succeed.

FRIED General Manager In an attempt to keep alive the renourishing spark of the Institute ' s musical clubs amid the necessary war-time gearing, the Glee Club has this past term completed a season filled with as much pre-war pomp and elaborateness as the emergency conditions permitted. Differing from peacetime clubs only in that the ranks were swelled with men in striped blue rather than stuffed blue, the ambitious singers planned and carried out a well rounded program. Beginning the semester with a completely formulated season ahead of them, the minstrels had to pull in their straps, back-track many steps, and plan anew to take into account Uncle Sam ' s revised O.D.T. ruling on travel. First, two concerts with the Westbrook Girl ' s College up in Portland, Maine had to be abandoned; then the scheduled program with Colby Junior College took its place on the shelf, much to the dismay of the anticipating singers. Discouraged, but not disheartened, the officers salvaged what was left and soon supplemented the remains with a filling that satisfied even the most eager. To open the season, the Wellesley Choir was invited to Walker Memorial for a concert and dance. The next four weeks saw the members recuperat- The Musical Clubs ' repertoire ranges [48] Glee Club Cloncert at LoiiEfwood ToW ' ing and preparing for a coming three-week stand. To add color to the preparations, the group sang a concert at the ever popular Longwood Towers with the Simmons Choir; then they sang at the Cosmopolitan Festival before the foreign clubs of most of the local colleges and made the short hop to Haverhill, Mass., to sing a joint program with the Bradford Girl ' s Glee Club. The following Friday found the boys tramping the hills of Welles- ley out Pine Manor way. All of the concerts were followed by dances. With their fill of joint programs, the members then had to put their noses to the grindstone to prepare for the big climax of the sea- son, singing with the Boston Symphony on Tech Night at the Pops. Taking time out only to make a record of Sons of M.I.T. ' and Stein Song, which was sent to Tech groups all over the world, the club worked feverishly to prepare tor the performance before a packed house. With this fitting climax, the boys looked back on a season well done, and forward to the season yet to come. Proudly bidding its seniors the best of luck, the club is again looking to the large new incoming freshman class to fill the well worn shoes of their predecessors. One thing is certain at this point, when peace once again comes to the world and to the Institute, it will be heralded in with a strong Musical Club at Tech, and a spirit of music sown by them. Never will it be said that Tech men, busy as they are, can ' t find time tor a song. BATON MEMBERS Robert P. Fried Robert D. Birkhoft ' Carl H. Haushalter Jan L. Wittlinger Warren S. Loud Arnold S.

With the lively and prophetic vision of the fact that China needs more engineers and scientists for winning the war and for the reconstruction after the war, the membership of the Chinese Students ' Club has been steadily increasing since 1937, when the Sino-Japanese conflict began. The membership of the Club rose to 56 in 1942, to 93 in 1944, and finally to 136 in 1945. Most of our members are graduate students. Several of them already have their Doctor ' s degree and many of them are Doctors-to-be. We Chinese are justly proud of and grateful to the splendid part which the Chinese alumni of the Institute have played in the construction of New China. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Club in China has been very active in promoting the interests of the Institute and its graduates in China. We trust that our sojourn among you and our first participation in the TECHNiquE may further cement that mutual good-will which now happily characterizes our friendship. X. TIO .

Outing Club members wear the loudest plaid shirts, make the most noise balanc- ing, and can be heard yodeling at appropriate breaks in the music during every square dance. To them, however, square dancing is but one of the many activities which makes life worthwhile. On their bulletin board across from the cashier ' s office in the main building, there is a weekly suc- cession of sign-up lists for rock and mountain climbing, canoeing, beach parties, skiing, hiking, skating, bicycling, and farm work trips. One of the active members of the Boston Council lOCA, the club arranges to have girls from neighboring lOCA colleges on many trips. The most important single thing the club does is the sponsoring of the ski team, which competed in five intercollegiate meets this winter. Despite the lack of practice before four of these meets, the team met Dartmouth, Vermont, Middlebury, West Point, Bates, Harvard, and others, always finishing with a good score. Captain Bud Wilson, George Macomber, and McClure Johnson were the team ' s mainstays, Macomber being one of the best skiers ever seen around M.I.T. The club strives to bring a breath of the outdoors into the great stone desert of Cambridge. On Top of the World Slaloming . mong the Shadows M.I.T. Ski Team [52 J The Debaters argue both pro and con Sparked by the brilliant strategy and hard- driving offensive tactics of their hard-boiled, veteran coacli, the M.I.T. Debaters swept over all opposition before thousands of delirious fans to establish a glorious record of victories over the past year. ' No, that doesn ' t sound like a typical writeup of a debating team, particularly the teams of the M.I.T. Debating Society. Their coach, Mr. Ed- ward F. Perry, is not a hard-boiled veteran debater, but a soft-spoken English instructor who has given generously of his time and effort to guide the debaters and managers through the season. The audiences for Tech debates are not thousands of delirious fans, but usually a handful of interested students. The tactics employed are not brilliant trickery, but the satisfying results of the few hours Tech men can spare for writing speeches. The score sheet doesn ' t show a glorious string of vic- tories, but a better than average record against some of the finest teams in the East. They are to be complimented on one of the finest Debating Teams in Technology ' s history. HERBERT J. H.WSELL General Mtinaset Second mi ' : Wofsey. Hayward, .Smith. Lyon. White. Gehrig.

Its religious purpose is fulfilled at weekly meetings where talks are presented by prominent clerical and lay speakers. These meet- ings are punctuated by lively discussions which provide an excellent opportunity for airing religious difficulties bound to arise in college life. In addition to its religious phase the club boasts one of the largest social activities lists of Tech ' s many associations. The M.I.T. Catholic Club, as a member of the New England Newman Club, has attended the communion breakfasts with all the other schools about Boston. Every fall the Club plays host to all M.I.T. and the neighboring girls ' schools at the Annual Acquaintance Dance. The dances and joint meetings with other schools, the communion breakfasts, and introductory dinners, enables one to broaden his scope of acquaintances, find stimulation for his religious trends, and secure an outlet from the toils and cares of M.I.T. atholic Club 54 The Hillel Society of M.I.T. is an organization devoted to cultural, religious, and social work among Jewish students at the Institute. Its primary emphasis is upon such programs and activities as assist the student in acquiring an understanding of the vast field of Jewish culture and a working knowledge of contemporary Jewish affairs. This program is conducted through lectures, discussions, and study groups. The Society also provides op- portunities for the Jewish student to maintain contact with special Jewish traditional observances through holiday celebrations. Members of the Hillel Society also arrange a program of varied social activities in conjunction with Hillel members in other schools in the vicinity. It is an important aim of the Society to present to the large Institute community an appreciation and understanding ol Jewish life and to join with all other groups in such activities as permit deeper understanding of each other.

Since its founding fifty-seven years ago, Sigma Xi Chapters have grown up in more than eighty universities, technical schools,, and research institutions throughout the country. The Chapter at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was installed in April, 1934. Members are elected to the Society on the basis of a noteworthy achievement in science or engineering. Associate membership is also offered to those students, seniors, and graduates, who have attained a high rating in their courses and have shown promise in the field of research.

Young [59] uadrangle Club The Quadrangle Cl ub is composed of Sopho- mores who have been outstanding in activities during their Freshman year. The main function of the club is to take the leadership in administrating the Freshman Rules. The Q, Club in this line sells the familiar barberpole red and gray ties to the incoming Freshmen. They then take the initiative in seeing that these ties are worn at all times by the Freshmen. Besides promoting class spirit in their own classes, the Q Club by their antics inspire a similar spirit in the Frosh. This all leads to a greater class rivalry and creates a greater interest in both classes in the Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. The Q, Club does not limit itself entirely to work, however. There are several big parties held each term at which time the members add to their limited social life at the Institute and so become mainly a social group. 10-46. Help!

It is a generally accepted i ' act that team spirit and cooperation, in addition to individual athletic ability, are necessary in all team sports. Normally track or cross-country men are in per- sonal contact with one another only during the limited hours of training or actual competition. The prime objective of the Track Club is to remedy this situation. By a program of social activities for the members, an attempt is made to improve the so-called esprit de corps. The organization of the annual track and cross-country banquets is one of the duties of the club. During the last year the most successful affair in this good will campaign was a weekend outing at the Tech Cabin. Held in January, this trip was so enjoyable that there was an immediate demand for a second visit to the camp before the end of the school year.

It has been the aim of the student chapter of the A.I.Ch.E. to acquaint its members with the industrial applications of the theory learned in their textbooks. It was with this in mind that the M.I.T. Chapter arranged to make field trips to an ice cream plant, a brewery and the M.I.T. fluid ized powder development laboratory. In order to broaden its members ' outlook, the chapter has had talks by various professors and men from chemical industry concerning the A.I. Ch.E., fluidized powder techniques, science as related to the war effort, the possibilities and lim- itations of beryllium, and the role of carbon black in modern industry. So that the chapter may continue to furnish a guiding hand in the changeover of its members from school to industry, plans are being made for the showing of movies on varied engineering sub- jects and the factory inspection of nearby non-war plants. It is hoped that the restrictions on visitors to war plants will soon be lifted so that trips can be planned to these plants also. erican Institute of Chemical Engineers [62] The Student Branch of the A.S.M.E. enables the student to become acquainted with his Fellows, his professors, and many outstanding men in the engineering field. To accomplish this, various lec- tures and conventions are held at the Institute, and field trips to engineering concerns around Boston are arranged. These activities enable the student to learn a great deal about the practical aspects of his work. During the past year, the A.S.M.E. has been very successful in carrying out this program. A series of lectures dealing with jet propulsion and post-war housing were presented to the student body. In addition there were several brewery trips now famous in our Student Chapter history, because of their shattering effect on the attendance records. Later the members were able to visit the new Mys- tic Station of the Boston Edison Company and were shown the very latest developments in power engineering. During the last term the Chapter served as host to other New England colleges at the Joint Con- vention of the A.S.M.E. Student Branches. MEMBERS William K. , dams, Jame.s R. .Atherlon, William F.

Whitehead The American Society of Civil Engineers was created to bring the men in Civil Engineering closer together as engineers and to present them with a wider knowledge of civil engineering. The Society has received wide support from students not only in Course I but also Course XVII, Build- ing Engineering and Construction. It is the aim of the Society through its lectures and discussions, to bring the students information on recent achieve- ments in construction from the leaders in the pro- fessional world. The material for the meetings comes largely from problems and experience gained through actual construction projects throughout the world. The Army and Navy construction stories have been especially informative for many problems met here have never before been encountered. When possible these programs have been given by the professional men in the field or Institute professors. At the end of the school year the Society gives a dinner for the student members and Course I pro- fessors. American Society of Civil Engineers [64] The Society of Automotive Engineers offers those men interested in automobiles, aircraft, trucks, Diesel engines, fuels and lubricants, an excellent opportunity to secure and maintain a contact with these industries. This contact is secured mainly through the S.A.E. Journal which is sent to each of the members. In addition, the student members attend the monthly dinner meet- ings of the New England Section of the parent society. At these meetings prominent speakers give talks on recent developments or inventions in their industries. Recently Mr. Jim Crawford, chief engineer for Chevrolet, spoke on the con -ersion of the automobile industry to war work and of the task of reconversion back to peacetime production. Further interest in the S.A.E. is stimulated in forums with members of the faculty such as those given by Professors Fales and Soderberg. In addi- tion several field trips were planned to the various New England industries of interest to the S.A.E. : 1EAIBERS Edgar Andrews, John L. Bateman, Dean Bedford, Jr., Sterling S.

In the undergraduate years the student ' s contact with the I.Ae.S. is through its Student Branch at his school. He is given the opportunity to attend lectures of a semi- technical nature, such as one that was recently given here by John Stack of the N.A.C.A. on super-sonic com- pressible airflow. Probably one of the most im- portant advantages offered to seniors by the M.I.T. Student Branch is the opportunity to tour various aircraft plants. In this way it is possible for the student to become more familiar with the tech- niques and problems of actual production methods. After graduation, the most important function of the I.Ae.S. is through its publications. The Journal of the Aeronautical Sciences keeps the engineer up to date on current experimentation, theory, and aircraft technicjues. [66] American Institute of Electrical Engineers The widely varied program of activities con- ducted by the M.I.T. Student Branch of the A.I.E.E. since the Fall of 1944 has been greeted with enthusiasm by many non-member students who are interested in electricity, as well as by the members themselves. As a means toward its aim of establishing better student-faculty relations, the Branch organized a Course VI picnic and bowling tournament, both of which were very successful. A dinner also was given at which the guest speaker was Professor Guillemin. The Branch has sponsored lectures on certain interesting and timely subjects: Lightning by Dr. McEachron; Television, by Philco; Weston Indicating Instruments, by a representative of that company; and Engineering Prospects of the Future, by our own Professor Hazen. Biweekly radio code classes under the A..I.E.E. Branch direction have proven popular, and more plant trips, such as the one to the Boston Edison Mystic River power plant are being planned.

Athletics at the Institute are designed solely for the benefit of the undergrad- uate, and depend in no way upon the spectators for their financing.

HEVVSON President Visitors to the Institute are always surprised to discover that the entire athletic organization is managed exclusively l)y undergraduates. In fact, Tech is one of the few schools in the country that has such a system. As the largest undergraduate activity, the A.A. coordinates a great many functions into an in- tegrated whole. Dropping into 310 Walker any afternoon, one sees the executive officers of the A.A. busy at work on their various jobs. The center of attention, of course, is Treasurer Ed Kelly, for every sports manager must answer to him for all expenditures. Likewise, it is Ed ' s responsibility to see to it that each sport gets its fair share of financial support. Bart Carmody, Member-at-Large of the Executive Committee, is also engaged in balancing the accounts of the various sports. Across the hall from the A.A. office, Publicity Manager, Herb Oedel may be seen interviewing the athletic managers in their sanctum, the Man- agers ' Room, in his quest for information for all Tech sports fans. The publicity department handles all material for announcements of future meets and the rallying of prospective athletes at the start of each sport season.

Upon his shoulders rests the responsibility of leading the Association along the general policy lines laid down by the Ad isory Council. All of the heads of various departments of the A. A. turn to one person for help at some stage of the administrative chain. That person is charming, efficient Joan Perrin, Secretary of the Association. Joan is always sympathetic to our troubles whether they be about marks, financial troubles, or love. The Executive Committee of the A. A., composed of the officers, the Publicity Manager, and the Member-at-Large, meets once each week to decide on various administrative cjuestions, and on the business to be discussed at the monthly A. A. meetings. All awards and other such important matters must be approved in turn by the Executive Committee, the entire A. A., and then the Advisory Council. The M.I.T.A.A. office is truly a busy place, and any visitor is indeed impressed by the industry and efficiency of the student executives of Tech ' s largest undergraduate activity. S.

Lightweights The 1944-45 Eastern crew season produced some of the most exciting and closest races in recent years. Ahhough the Tech varsity eight was not the best Engineer crew in M.I.T. history, it had great potentialities and did much towards making the season a success. The poorest weather in recent years, both here and away, prevented the crew from attaining continuous winning iorm, although the boat did give the other Eastern schools some keen competition. Coach Jim McMillin in his first year as head coach, had a good start with varsity men Thorkil- sen, Hoaglund, and Street returning. Bringing up Edgerly, Heuchling, and Kurriss from the previous year ' s junior varsity and developing Rapoport and Taft from the lower eights, he molded a big eight, the tallest in the East. The rapid development of Buck Ray into a capable coxswain rounded out the first boat. In the first race of the season against Annapolis, the Tech shell, having rowed together only one week, led at the halfway mark only to falter while Edgerly (bow), Heuchhng (2), Rapoport (3), Street (4), Taft (5) VARSITY Cornell in Charles River Regatt the middies romped to a two-length victory. The following week, the boat beat a strong Cornell eight decisively as they led both Cornell and Harvard all the way. The big event of the schedule was the four school regatta at Ithaca with Tech, Columbia, Navy, and Cornell rowing the two-mile course on Lake Cayuga. Bad weather, however, made the lake unrowable and the crews were forced to row in heats over a one-mile sheltered inlet, where Tech dropped a close race by one foot after having a three-quarter length lead at the halfway mark. In the season ' s finale at Columbia, the Engineers were decisively beaten by three lengths over the Harlem in a dual meet. Coach Jim McMillin in his first year as head coach did an excellent job in molding the foiu ' Tech boats into the fine crews they were. The junior varsity rowed in all the races against the eastern teams, proving itself to be one ol ' the best ,JV s in recent Tech history. The third and Iburth boats alternated in the third race held dining each re- Sfatta. Junior V ' ar.sit CREW Kurriss (6), Hoaglund (7), Thorkilson (stroke), Ray (coxswain) Trackmen close successful season This year more than ever Tech has shown that it is becoming a strong contender for leading track honors. Led by Captain Charlie Goldie the team rose to the heights of success when it ran rough- shod over the rest of the field in the New England Outdoor Championships. In setting a new scoring record of 6i 7-10 points, the team captured eight of fifteen first places, scoring in all except two events. This clearly shows Tech ' s dominance over th e rest of the field. The track year as a whole has been a most suc- cessful one. Coach Oscar Hedlund and Field Coach Bob Bowie have pooled their experience and knowledge of track to come up with a great team, great not only for its ability to win but for its sportsmanship and for the will to run if only for love of the game. With about one hundred V-12 men and many others to pick from, Oscar has been able to mold a team which will be long remembered by those who ran on it. During the past winter season Tech jumped in to the National limelight for the first time in many years when the Two-Mile Relay Team of Goldie, Serrie, Shea, and Crimmin ran to vicotries in the National A.A.U. and I.C.4A. Indoor Champion- ships. The Mile Relay Team also captured many .A.V. and INTERCOLLEGIATE INDOOR 2-MILE RELAY CH.AMPIONS .Serrie, Goldie, O.

Outdoor Championship honors during the indoor season with four victories against the best competition in the East. Serrie and Casey captured additional honors by winning N.E.A.A.U. Championships in the looo-Yd. Run and 40- Yd. Dash respectively. During the spring season the team won over Harvard, Tufts, Williams, and Exeter, losing only to Andover by one point when several key men were injured. Led by Bill Casey with wins in the 100 and 2 20- Yd. Dashes, Royce Crimmin with a first in the 440, Charlie Goldie with a win in the 880, John Serrie with a win in the Mile, Robert Hines with firsts in the Broad Jump and High Jump, and Upton with a winning toss in the Javelin , the Beaver team rolled up the record point total and retained its team championship in the New England ' s. Several records were broken or tied this year with Bill Casey tying the indoor record for the 40-Yd. Dash and John Serrie breaking the Indoor Mile record with the time of 4:30.9. Royce Crim- min set a new Institute record in the 440- Yd. Dash in the time of 49.7 breaking the old record of 50.0 set by D. Jeppe in 1924. Bill Casey tied the loo-Yd. Dash record at lo.o.

The Beaver quintet won an easy victory over B. U., and de- feated W.P.I., Bates, and Coast Guard, the latter three all among the best teams in New England. The team, in fact, was beaten badly only once all season, by Brown, one of the strongest teams in the East enjoying their hottest night of the year. But that very important factor, luck, did not seem to be with the team, as it lost once in over- time, and more than once in the last few minutes of play. Paced by Capt. Doug Watson and Ray Evans, whom local reporters once called the outstanding- pair of guards in New England, the varsity was rounded out by hi.gh scorer Ted Heuchling, fresh- man Lou Butler, Chuck Wellard, Jack Aitken, and Don Walsh.

Coach Gordon Smith and Captain Nick Mumford were very in- strumental in bringing the successful season about. A green squad successfully passed its first test in the opening meet with Bowdoin. A week later it suffered its worst defeat to a strong team from Williams which out-swam Tech completely. Two weeks later Nick Mumford lowered the varsity record for the 150-yard backstroke in a beautiful exhibition of swimming. The rest of the team swam well, but Tech lost the meet in the last event. After the holidays the varsity, by now in top shape, traveled to Providence and defeated a determined group of Brown swimmers. A week later, in our own natatorium the Tech tanksters won the year ' s most exciting meet from R.P.I. Mumford again lowered the record, while Harry Eisenhardt main- tained his steady winning streak in the diving. The W.P.L meet on the 27th was held up for an hour and a half by a snowstorm, but Tech finally won out in a lopsided meet. The Coast Guard Academy played host to our varsity a week later, and in spite of the best efforts of every man on the team, defeated us in the last relay. During the full season of swimming the Tech team met but one opponent who proved much superior to them. This was the Williams team who administered a plastering to the local swimmers. The final score was 59 for Williams and 16 for M.I.T. Much of this can be attributed to the fact that this was the first varsity swimming meet for many of the Tech team. The New England Intercollegiate swimming championships were held in our pool on the loth of February. M.I.T. finished second to Wil- liams in a day crammed full of exciting swimming. Nick Mumford and Harry Eisenhardt won their respective titles, while the medley relay team of Mumford, Buckman, and Bowen took second. The desire to win and the will to work as a team account, to a large extent, for the good season and the enjoyment every swimmer derived trom his sport. Tech tankmen runners-up in N. E.

The team was supreme in New England defeating Harvard twice, 5-0 and 4-1, Yale twice, 5-0 and 3-2, and Exeter twice, 3-2 and 3-2. M.I.T. ' s only loss was to powerful Army at West Point 4-1. All five individual matches were very close. As the Varsity racked up its victories, the Jay Vee ' s defeated the Exeter JV ' s 4-1, Middlesex School 5-0, and lost a return match to Middlesex 3-2, and four teams of less experienced men played in an intramural league. Three teams competed in the Duration Squash Leagues and did remarkably well considering that they were pitted against some of the best squash players in the country. The fact that the three top varsity men, Roger Sonnabend, Bill Peirce, Tom Hewson, were all awarded straight T bears testimony to the suc- cess of the season. Toperzer, Hewson, Peirce, Sonnabend, Dorflinger; R. Schcrer, missing [80] Tech ' s team was coached this year by its veteran coach, Charles Van Ummerson, who during his college days had played at Tufis. Coach Van Ummerson, together with Captain Jim Bray- ton, made a remarkable showing in transforming the team into a powerful contender for the New England Championship. As far as the actual playing was concerned, Tech ' s lacrosse team had a strong offense and mid- field. The main setback that the team suffered as far as injuries were concerned was the loss of the first string goalie, Bronson, halfway through the season. As usual, Tech ' s team had several rough and tumble games. Both Tufts tilts and the Dartmouth game provided plenty of thrills and spills for all concerned. In the fight for the New England Con- ference between Tufts and Tech, Tech lost a close game to the Tufts team. Tufts had once before defeated the Tech team. A highly rated Dartmouth team and the Harvard team fell before the Tech onslaught, ending the season with Tech winning five and losing five games. Close Quarters Sfxond ir.w: Xeumann.

Early in March a rally was held in order to deter- mine the extent of the students ' interest in forming a golf team. From a group of twenty-seven was chosen the team which defeated Dartmouth 5-4, lost to Navy 7-2, and placed fifth in the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association Championships at Princeton, N. J. The men who have played in these matches are Frank King, Bill Little, Edward Brylawski, John V. McCarthy, Clifford Woods, Bill Martin, Bob Roth, Hector Orozco, Dick O ' Donnel, Al Richard- son, and Vincent Butler. Cliff Woods has acted as manager and John McCarthy as captain during the season. Special credit is due the team ' s number one and two men, Frank King and Bill Little, both of whom won their individual matches in the Dartmouth and Navy meets, and placed high on the list of low scorers in the Eastern Intercollegiate Champion- ships.

Slierrick, Bohanske i Tennis Starting with only two veterans from the pre- vious season, the Tech tennis team, while not making an impressive record of wins, made a very good showing against several tough opponents. The opposition included West Point, Yale, Har- vard, R.P.I. , W.P.I., and Dartmouth. Jack Hugus and Tom Hewson as number one and two men, and manager and captain, re- spectively, each made a fine showing by winning 5 out of 7 matches against the best men from the other schools. The record of 2 wins against 5 losses is on the surface disappointing, but it does not tell the whole story. All the contests were close; 4 were lost to the score of 5-4. The ability and spirit of the team were never in question, but somehow, that extra punch that wins matches was lacking. It is difficult to single out any outstanding player, as all the singles men played heads up tennis and the doubles tean s turned out to be the strong feature of the Technology teani.

The experience gained from being on your own and administering your own affairs are a proper and useful complement to class work in shaping a man to enter the world of industry and business. • . . nxite uutied ohA a ifUtond — Uo.wjellke iUeia a eok UU ' .C. sponsors yearns outstanding JOHX J. FREIBERGER Chairman The Inter-Fraternity Council has now become one of the most important organs on the Institute campus. Before the war the I.F.C. ' s main task was to hold an annual dance. The war has so multiplied the problems confronting the twenty fraternities at the Institute that the I.F.C. ' s activities have taken on a wider scope. The shortened membership in fraternities brought several houses into financial difficulties. The I.F.C. conducted a cost-of-living survey and presented the results to persons working at the Institute who desired living quarters. Some of the houses accepted boarders until such time as they could again fill their houses with undergrad- uates. The war necessitated the need to change the rushing program and rules governing such rushing. As the rushing was to be conducted between terms of school, I.F.C. set up rules to prevent pre-rush week rushing. The I.F.C. sent out letters to the incoming freshmen explaining the fraternity system at Technology. This was important as there is a great difference in the wav fraternities are run The Annual Interfraternit I social event despite wartime vicissitudes here from the way they are run at other colleges. A smaller I.F.C. dance was held this year at the Hotel Statler as another I.F.C. dance had been held one semester before. The dance, however, was the social success it always is. The I.F.C. dance of 1945 will he held in the Imperial Ballroom of the Hotel Statler as the dance will be the usual large affair, open to several hundred couples. The orchestra has not been an- nounced up to this date, but is expected to be one of the usual big name bands. In recent months the Interfraternity Council inaugurated a new program for drawing the frater- nity men and alumni of the various chapters to- gether and to bring about more interest of the alumni in the chapters. With these aims in mind the I.F.C. organized an alumni I.F.C. to be made up of alumni from the twenty fraternities at Tech- nology. The organization is organized along similar lines of the undergraduate I.F.C. except that it will act in an advisory capacity and enccjurage alumni interest in the various chapters.

The M.I.T. chapter was recognized in i8qo as Beta, largely through the efforts of Professor Ross F. Tucker, and since has maintained a continuous and prosperous existence. Not only in interfraternity matters has Beta taken an active interest, but also in the Institute ' s student activities as is shown by the number of Chi Phi ' s connected with the various publications, committees, and athletic teams. Chi Phi was well represented at all the Beaver Key Sports this past year and built up a good record in swimming, volleyball, and baseball. Such activities are en- couraged as they tend to a more well rounded life here at Tech, as well as creating that all important fraternity spirit. The most anticipated event of Beta ' s social sea- son is the traditional Bohemian Masquerade Ball. It is attended each spring not only by guests from among the students at the Institute, but by many Chi Phis from other New England Chapters and by numerous alumni. The last Bohemian was held on May 5th and surpassed all other dances of recent years. Many of the brothers in the service returned just in time, and a home-coming week developed. Such events not only lend themselves as an outlet from the rigorous school life, but in addition tend to draw the older alumni and stu- dents together in a spirit of sodality. :mk.mbkhs . . -6-45: John S.

Too often the brothers stay only a little while and then are gone to perform greater and more important tasks. Gone are Al McLean and Trigg Noyes to fight in the infantry overseas. Bill Cassady, Moose Dunne, and Schlitz Rich are other brothers that have left for the services after but a term at Tech. We hear occasionally too from Jerry Howell, Warren Bishop, and Dick McChrystal. Despite the inroads of war upon its membership, the spirit of Delta Kappa Epsilon lives on. Each member leaves his slight eccentricity or idiosyn- crasy indelibly stamped in the memory of his brothers and adds his bit to the heritage of D.K.E. The Lodge lives on despite the hardships in- curred by a war-torn world. It witnesses the same parties and discussions year in, year out. It keeps its secrets well. Members often gather to reminisce upon events of the past — the Gay Nineties Parties, the Rampant Lions, run-ins with the Gen- darmes, the motorcycle boys, and other incidents. Thus Delta Kappa Epsilon moves on, energized by the individualism of her members, but putting a part of herself in each of their hearts when they leave the Halls of Delta. Though the members may depart from the Lodge, the spirit of Delta Kappa Epsilon will endure in their hearts forever. :mkmbkks . . ■l ' -45: Julian Gammon, Jr., Charles F. Street, James J.

These other chapters are located at Columbia, University of North Carolina, Trinity, University of Pennsylvania, University of Missis- sippi, Williams, University of Virginia, and Yale University. This summer we cleared the chairs and tables from the common room and gave a highly success- ful dance lasting into the early hours of the morn- ing. Many of the members gave dinners before the dance at their homes in Boston or at various hotels and then came on to the club where music and champagne awaited the merry-makers. Again this winter we continued the tradition of the past few years by giving a Christmas eggnog party a few days before vacation. With a Christmas tree in the common room and hoUv and inistletoe in the rafters, we welcomed in the Christmas season with the singing of songs and carols. U nfortunately the famous Delta Psi beer party was omitted again this year, but we hope the coming years will see its return. On the summer weekends we made short trips to the beaches of the North Shore, while the lure of Stowe and the Green Mountains took some of us off skiing between terms this past winter.

It is these men that we, who have remained behind, are looking forward to greeting back home, at which time the parties and brawls for which the Delts are well known will once again be resumed. We were able to suspend the Spring Formal, and the Roller Skating Party, but could not bring our- selves to let the Beer Brawl take a similar path. So, as is the custom, the brawl was a howling success, the howling coming from our dear Brook- line neighbors, and our old and tried friends, the Brookline Police Force. We continued, to their consternation, to have no fewer entanglements than in the olden days. The Delta Shelter itself has not seemed to suffer from its loss of numbers as can be seen by the complete redecorating job done by its members and completed just in time for their dates to move in and take over during the I.F.C. weekend. Having the girls move in is a custom which has been going strong for the twenty odd years that the chapter has owned its house in Brookline.

Among these were, in October, the Kappa Sigma Potpourri, and a sleigh-ride in January. On the more sober side, having a few older brothers from Harvard, Purdue, Georgia Tech, and Bowdoin living here or visiting, has done wonders for the MIT contingent. They supplied us with not only tremendous amounts of inspira- tion, but with appreciable quantities of material aid in the form of brain work and muscle-man tactics. In spite of the Army and Navy, the House is still going full-blast. The program for the duration will be to keep things as nearly on a pre-war plane as possible, so that when the old gang comes drifting back to the Institute, they can walk into the sort of atmosphere that they left behind them, and that has kept us going.

The first three items named were supplied by a capable social committee which met, made plans for the dance, and set the date. The latter item was also capably furnished by the fellows themselves. The climax of the Tech social season was the Phi Beta Morale Booster held a week before exams. This superlative shin-dig took place in Whitney Hall out in Brookline. It can be truth- fully said that the girls were nothing but the most beauteous of the pulchritudeous and the fellows, the thirstiest. The beer flowed like buttermilk and at the stroke of twelve the last drop disappeared down the gullet as one of the V- 1 2 reserves rushed in to take care of the excess liquid situation. But the real spirit of Phi Beta Epsilon lies in its unexcelled bull sessions. The fate of the world often hangs in the balance at these esoteric gather- ings. But I tell you, Mr. Osl)orn, the Tech co-ed is a symbol, a harbinger of woman ' s eventual posi- tion in future civilizations. Next time you look at that slick little chick in 5.02 lecture, think not of her as a Murgatroyd, not as a woman, but as a guiding beacon, lighting the way to a better exist- ence.

Between the Institute, Wellesley, and the draft, we have been kept busy fighting the hectic battle in quest of higher educa- tion. One class (2-47) which had twenty-one last June, has been decimated by the above mentioned forces and reduced to seven. Under the stress of the Battle, the boys have buckeled down, and the house had a 3.55 cumula- tive, thus putting the house on the Dean ' s List. On the social side of the ledger we have been busy, too. Last fall we had our traditional ' Hell Dance and this spring the J. P. Green Elephant Party, be- sides our many informal house dances. The house has been active, too, in Interfraternity sports, having good teams in baseball, basketball, swimming, and most recently, volleyball. In the last Beaver Key swimming meet, Pete Trutmann practically won the meet single handedly. He won one free style and was anchor man on the relay team to bring the swimming trophy to the Phi Delt mantle. However, the things that the fellows will always cherish most are the bull sessions up in the library over the after-dinner coffee, the ever present bridge games, the singing at the dinner table, and all the little things, that when put together, spell the asso- ciation of the fellows living together and the spirit of the fraternity.

As with every fraternity man, each Pilam feels that there is something special about his house, a special spirit. A pattern that has made each day of those past twenty-five years a fond memory, even to the men who have shared comparatively few of them. This twenty-fifth year saw many changes in the house at 450 Beacon, as the chapter made its first long strides toward recovering from the initial effects of the war. Once again the membership was close to normal size and a full-scale social program was possible. The New Year ' s Eve party, the effects of which are still apparent, was a terrific success. The Great White Way dance, the twenty-fifth anniversary reunion of the alumni, and the Fare- well Dance, dedicated to the first seniors we have had in several years, were a few of the other high- lights of the year. We look to the future tor a reunion with our brothers in the armed services, that together those of us who remain and those of us who will soon return, may enable Massachusetts Theta Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi to attain even greater heights than in the past.

Once again the house regains a sturdy posi- tion as the house membership reaches its normal size. But war or no war, the house has been active in Institute activities. Our golden boy Artie Schiff, the man with shekels, is business manager of The Tech and treasurer of Voo Doo. Jules Sandock is one of the latest members of the Sophomore board of the Walker Memorial Committee, while Dick Marsten continues at his post of editor-in-chief of the Tech Engineering A ' ews. The freshmen and soph- omores in the house are also active in publications and Institute activities. Socially too, the Sammies are busy with the annual pledge dance as the highlight of a rugged party season. The twenty-eighth pledge dance, better known as the Cadaver Cavort had the house jam-packed. The house was so full the walls bulged. There was a similar occurrence at the S.A.M. spring dance. Several people were trampled to death at this dance when word went roimd that the punch was spiked. The main part of what makes S.A.M. what it is, are the regular goings-on in the house. The sage advice and reminiscing of Don Mains, the private ■ Watch and Ward Society of Wally Lack, and Bob Keller ' s way with the erratic vie.

Meahime, of course, provides its usual weighty discussions and subtle humor intermixed with the usual round of Sig songs. Informal record dances always spring up when several brothers bring their dates to dinner, particularly if the Navy men are present. We will long remember the weird sessions in Brad PLndicott ' s room on quiz nights. For then we made recordings of the latest small-talk and patter with Moon Meullen as M.C. The pointless wonder melodramas of Red River Gulch will long be remembered. We could continue to enumerate the many small things that comprise life at the Sig house, but they all serve to indicate that Alpha Theta remains unchanged. We wish all the old familiar faces were back again: Neffer, the bartender supreme, Brannan, the sage, and all the others. Brothers scattered far from Technology often meet and talk over old times at school. In fact, a second Alpha Theta could have been assembled at the Great Lakes Naval Base last winter, when almost a dozen of the brothers were in radio technicians ' school. The magazine Beaver Sig keeps the far off brothers close to the chapter and to each other with news and addresses. We know the day of Victory will bring with it the return of many of these distant brothers who, as the var draws to a close, are anxious to return to the Institute, Alpha Theta, and good old Sigma Chi.

[ 124 The doors ol Epsilon Theta of Sigma Nu re- mained open during the past term, although hungry draft boards throughout the country and graduation, cut the membership in the house down to a minimum. The house, however, did remain active in the various phases of Tech hte, with men serving on publications and holding class offices. Also, the scholastic average of the house was main- tained by several men who received honors. Thus, even though the fraternity has been small in num- ber, it has held its head high in activities. Sigma Nu has also kept up an active interest in sports, entering into the swimming meet and now busily making prepations for the softball tour- nament. Supplementing this was a large social schedule, including two Tech Cabin weekends, a fine eggnog party just before Christmas, and a formal banquet before each big dance of the year. The highlight of the social calendar was the house party given during the Junior Prom weekend. A corporation meeting was held this past term, and preparations were made for the impending rush week. The corporation, Epsilon Theta of Sigma Nu, Inc., meets several times each year to discuss house affairs and problems. Besides the corporation, the local chapter receives the fullest support from the National. The house, though few in number diu-ing the past few terms, is now definitely on the upswing with a very bright future ahead. ...6-- 5; Edgar Andrews, Benjamin W. Lnttenberger, Jr., John R.

As with all college fraternities, we have seen many of the men enter the service. It will be a grand day, indeed, when the fifty Beta men who left before coinpleting their courses, return to the Institute. Let us look into 528 Beacon Street as it is today. Clustered around the front door are several of the freshmen and Bob Hoffman, all awaiting their letters from the girls back home. It seems there is a bet among the boys as to who will receive the most letters by the end of the term. At the present Fred Dunmire leads the field with an average of 1 1 g letters per day. Rich Ballman has found another person, namely Mike Carney, who can equal the quality of his voice. This gruesome twosome have formed a duet and their discordant monotones now clatter through the house. Since the departure of Bob Murray into the Navy, the mad chemists no longer are given en- couragement to conjure up any more Back Bay rocking bombs. The annual pledge dance held in July proved to be one of the most successful dances held at the Ox Club. Bob Hoffman with his usual uncanny and suspected dishonest luck broke the gambling tables by winning half the chips in the house. Such are happenings that help enliven the school term wearers of the crossed swords. MEMBERS . . -6-4 : Christopher G. Boland, 3rd, Robert W. Bronson, Donald A. Buell, George E. McKewen, Ralph R.

Al- most everv campus activity was staffed with a Theta Delta Chi this year. Nick Mumford was swimming captain and Dave Flood was chairman of the Walker Memorial Committee. Herb Oedel was recently elected to the Secretary-Treasurer post of the Society of Automotive Engineers. More bizarre pastimes include the works of Nairn and Buzz Bomb Clapp under the auspices of the Rocket Society, and Geigel ' s daily lifting of fan- tastic weights in the game room, to the distraction of the ping pong players. Upstairs can be heard the shouts of Fog Horn Vappi above the rumble of Herb Ayres ' Boogie Woogie. In front of the house are the parts of Bob Hibbard ' s ten-freshmen- power flivver, which is undergoing the weekly overhauling. Going above the first iioor, we find the eternal Bull Session in the Iront study where Bob Bigelow is surrounded by a group of the brothers. Bob has returned from radio technician ' s school and is gi - ing us the lowdown on the Navy, straight and un- censored. In another part of the house, we hear another group of brothers, the social committee, discussing plans for a party. Many small informal dances are held each term as well as the Theta Delt Orgy, a big blast attended by nearly every- one at the Institute. In spite of the diversity of interests, Theta Delta Chi carries on, united, ever hopeful of a still greater future. AIEMBEKS ...6-45: David P. Flood, Robert L. Hibbard, Stephen W.

They also wanted a place which would be a point of connection be- tween students of North and South America. The plan worked successfully. Since then the Latin American House has become an important center of cultural and social activity in M.LT. student life. New students coming from Latin America now know where to go when first arriving in Boston. Here, at the Latin American House they find helpful guidance in their first steps at school. They also find a high spirit of comradeship ready to give them the warm affection which they need when far from home. Here they find their music and books while making new friends and learning how to understand and become ac- quainted with American students. In such a short time the house has grown steadily in importance. Initially it started with twenty members, and now it intends to move to larger quarters in order to provide for a greater number of students. It has broadcast coast to coast; it has helped the Bond Drive and The Blood Donor Com- mittee; and, through the music of its own orches- tra and commentators, has extended to New England colleges, halls, libraries and hospitals the spirit of Pan-Americanism so important in present times. It will last as long as Latin American students cooperate with its leaders and keep its ideals high and strong.

Old clothes came out and were soon covered with paint, wallpaper paste, calcimine, and varnish, while the place took on a brighter appearance. The enrollment in Course XXV increased as there were many vie dances and parties during the term. On several occasions the house made mass exoduses out to the country. One of these was a trip to the Cape where we turned lumberjacks for the day clearing hurricane timber. Another week- end found us nearly snowed in at the Tech Cabin. The next trip to the Cabin was more successful as the March weather was the best experienced in New England in many years. The second Cabin trip produced an invitation from our chaperons for a weekend. So we were off again for the week- end, this time to Rhode Island.

Blakeslee The Dormitory Committee has been so designed that it will reach and contact every dormitory man and regulate its policies to meet the views of the dormitory residents. This is accomplished through the work of approximately twenty men, elected for this purpose. The Committee is com- posed of eight or more upperclassmen, two mem- bers-at-large, and one hall chairman from each of the undergraduate halls. The hall chairmen each have five floor chairmen, who are not members of the Dorm Committee, but, who assist and keep the hall chairman in touch with developments. The floor chairman in turn, is in close contact with the men on his floor and presents any information or ideas gathered from the floor residents to the hall chairman. Thus the information passes by these channels to the Dormitory Committee for action. The Dormitory Committee elects its own chair- man, who this year was Jack Vozella, and any other officers it deems necessary. The Committee is composed of many small sub-committees which report their activities and expenditures at the week- ly Dormitory Committee meeting. JOHN J. vozi:li.a C ' hairman Dormitory Committee 133 orms resume round of activities tournament was held starting on March 26 and a Softball tournament is being planned for later in the spring. The Athletic Committee works hard to see that Dorm residents do not turn into con- firmed brownbaggers and succeeds admirably in dragging us out for much needed exercise. AGENDA Agenda was reorganized in the middle of the spring term with its constitution entirely revised. No longer will the Agenda terrorize the innocent eshmen. Instead, the organization will act in an advisory capacity and endeavor to get the freshmen into the various activities. A small nucleus was selected by the Dormitory Committee, which is keeping a close check on the society, and the rest of the members were elected by the nucleus. Bob Hanpeter was elected President, Norman Kee, Vice President, and Dan Greenbaum, Secretary-Treas- urer. The society got off to a good start and is making plans for the incoming freshman class.

As leaders in extracurricular activities, they undertake in an advisory capacity to promote the further participation of dormitory residents in school activ- ities. A friendly and closely-knit group, Dorclan has many social functions during the year. Its pledges must be worthy men to complete successfully the tasks set before them.

A curious fresh- man, ambling up to the doorway is suddenly con- fronted by a battery of .50 cal. Brownings supple- mented by two glaring searchlights.

How would you like to join our little organization — only $2.00 per term? But. ... Six hands reach out of the murky blackness and the unfortunate freshman disap- pears. The 5:15 Club has claimed another victim. This enterprising organization flourishes solely on the blood of young commuters. Its purpose is to provide amusement for its members and to knit together in an integrated group, the group of com- muting students which make up abotit one third of Tech ' s population. The facilities of the club are numerous and varied. There are many tables and chairs where the member may eat his lunch, and even more waste-baskets to catch the crumpled lunch bags 5:15 Club furnishes commuters [138] which fill the air during lunch hour. Latest addi- tions to the Club are a ping-pong table with equip- ment and a monstrous multi-hued juke box with all the latest tunes. The Club also has a copious supply of the latest issues of magazines and newspapers, a variety of chess and checker sets, and file of old lab reports and homework for which we see no use whatsoever. Special entertainment which departs irom the daily run of the mill routine also helps to ease the life of the 5:i5 ' er. His lile is rounded out by a varied social program sponsored by the Club consisting of several big dances, record hops, bridge and chess tournaments, and smokers to get everyone acquainted. A stranger attracted by the dull roar which perpetually emanates from the clubroom would first be bowled over by a haggard freshman with no pants on his way out to climb one of the trees on Memorial Drive where said garments are reposing. Next to attract attention would be the pitiful wails of one Karl Luckyboy Peterson who was being taken royally by one of the fish he seduced into a friendly game of draw. In the background, the same stranger would hear shouts of derision as Arnold Judson, the ping-pong shark, threw his second game so that he could play a third. In another corner, he could hear Howie Weaver ex- tolling the virtues of his latest punch mixture to Tom Kelly and Phil Jones. The 5:i5 ' er maintains that the commuter ' s life is stimulating both physically and mentally. Muscle is developed as he sprints up escalators, squeezes through El car doors, and pushes old ladies out of the way to get a seat. He is developed mentally by gauging where the door of the car is going to stop, by figuring out the name of a .South Pacific Island from the subway placard and from reading the newspaper over someone ' s shoulder. Thus it can be seen that the 5:15 Club member does not waste his time by riding on trains, buses or trolleys. The policies of the Club were guided this year by President Thomas Kelly, Vice-President Karl Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer Joseph Hobaica, and the Executive Committee composed of Frank Giori and Phil Tones. an interlude between trains and trolleys [ 139] Yl2(Jnit The Navy V-12 unit was organized at M.I.T. in June of 1943 for the pur- pose of training men to become officers in the United States Navy. Since that time several hundred V-12 men have graduated from Technology in science, and engineering. After re- ceiving their commissions they entered the fleet to help bring an end to the war in the Pacific. The M.I.T. V-12 unit has not only proven its worth to the Navy, but is indeed a credit both to the Navy and the Institute. . . . 4fU4J2e Sc4e4ijce oau 4ix lM£e UH woaJz jp a uicto laul fiecu e CAPTAIN R. H.

V CETT, USNR Education Officer 144 of Junior Officers Men leaving M.I.T. have created a record at the various Midshipmen Schools throughout the country that no other college or university can equal. The M.I.T. men have consistently gradua- ted high scholastically and in officer-like qualities. The M.LT. graduates have the smaller percentage of failures at Midshipmen School of any school in the country. The V-I2 program began in the summer ot 1943 with a unit of approximately nine hundred men. Many of these men were taken directly from secondary schools or transferred from other univer- sities. They began their work at M.LT. princi- pally as engineering specialists, aviation, aerology specialists, physics and math majors, and pre- medical students. The Navy has had and con- tinues to need officers for both the fleet and in smaller numbers for duty in Navy yards, arsenals, hospitals, and shore establishments. The many who have left have already filled these vital posts and those in the Unit now are preparing them- selves for such responsibilities. The M.I.T. V-12 Unit has not only pro en its worth to the Navy, but is indeed a credit both to the Navy and the Institute. LIEL TEXAXr HAROLD V. .SULLINAX, USXR C:lothing Officer E.XSIGX CH. RLES J.

The only out- ward indications of the activity within are a sign which says Navy V-I2, M.I.T. and a constant stream of Naval trainees coming and going. Once inside, however, the civilian is immediately im- pressed with the changes. Everything is referred to in Naval parlance: stairs have been renamed ladders, floors have become decks, and the dining room is now the mess hall. This is, of course, as it should be, because the apprentice seamen who live here are being trained to take their place in the largest and most powerful Navy in the world. They will do much to enhance the reputation of both the United States Navy and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The trainees studying here at Tech are for the most part engineering majors, but other groups are also represented. Among these are aerology, physics and mathematics majors. Those trainees who were at the Institute as civilians and com- pleted one or more terms before going into the V-I2 program, are allowed to continue along the lines of their chosen course of study by taking subjects practically identical with those of the civilian students in their course. Other students who enter Tech as freshmen in the V- 1 2 are re- quired to take fully prescribed courses of study. These prescribed courses also contain practically the same subjects as those of brother civilian with added emphasis placed upon Naval applications of the work. All of these courses lead to degrees in Bachelor of Science. 147 Underwater welding Upon the completion of professional training, trainees proceed to midshipman schools for neces- sary indoctrination training. After middle school the trainee becomes one of the star and garter boys, ensign in the United States Naval Reserve. The unit here has achieved a noteworthy distinc- tion in the fact that as of May 1945, no trainee had been discharged from middle school for any reason whatsoever. This is evidence not only of ability in studies but also officerlike qualities which are so important. Within the unit itself is a complete student officer organization. These student officers are Regimental Commander Thorkilsen, Regimental Adjutant Cromer, Battalion Commanders Mc- Dowell and Pockman, company commanders, platoon leaders, and athletic petty officers. The company commander is about the most active of these student officers, having charge of early morn- ing personnel inspection, the assignment of guard duty and watches, and the general welfare of his OOMPAXY NO. 3—Fiflh Row: Olsen.

The appointment of the regimental and battaHon commanders is for the most part hon- orary and is based upon demonstrated leadership ability. The function of these student officers is as liaison between trainees and officer in charge. Another vital part of the V-12 training is that of physical training. According to the officers in charge of the unit, the Naval officer must not only know his special field of work but also be in excel- lent physical condition. This is accomplished by four hours of calisthenics and general conditioning and one hour of swimming each week. Participa- tion in varsity sports entitles the trainees to ex- emption from the calisthenics, with the result that Tech ' s athletic teams contain a large number of V-i2ers. An extensive intra-company sports program supplements the required work. The intra-com- pany sports are touch football, Softball, track, bas- ketball, volleyball, ping pong, pool, wrestling, and boxing. Each of the ten companies chooses a Top: Strikes to spare Left: P T showers Right: Letting off steam 151 team from among its members, and under the direction of the athletic petty officer, practices for the competition. The elimination system is used in deciding the winner in each sport. At the end of each term, the company which has amassed the most points on the basis of loo tor first place, 75 for second place and 50 for third place in any one sport, is awarded a trophy. Formerly, medals were awarded to individuals who excelled in each sport, but the shortage of metal ended this practice. The ' -i2 Welfare Committee has the function of furthering the social life of the trainee. The big event of each term is a unit dance held at Walker Memorial. The Committee also sponsors several smokers each term for the men. These are stag parties held in the recreation room. Formerly, the Committee was responsible for bringing sug- gestions for improvement to the attention of the officer in charge of the unit, but this duty has been given to the company commanders who act through the regimental commander.

As recognition of outstanding achievement in certain lines of endeavor, scrolls are awarded to the men who have best demonstrated these qual- ities. For the class of 6-45, William F. Blitzer was the engineering student who compiled the best academic record, Rich H. Battin was second in this respect, James B. Hoaglund showed the greatest improvement in officer-like qualities and leader- ship, and Harold Thorkilsen contributed the most to the military excellence of the unit together with demonstrating the greatest skill in leadership. As can be seen from this brief picture of the V-12 at Tech, everything possible is done to pro- vide the trainee with a broad, well-rounded train- ing so that he will be able to more adequately ful- fill his duties as an officer in the U.

The Classes at the Institute are normally four but wartime conditions have increased this number to six. The extra classes are two freshmen and two soph- omore classes. The main purpose of cla sses is to unite the students and foster pride in themselves as a group. The vigorous realization of these aims is evident in the annual Field Day between the two lower classes. The keen interest of the alumni in their respective classes also bears proof of how deep seated this spirit is. . . . 6Jnxi a ocufuiuG ve dicuie — tUcU oi Bdentilt Cund oHx neen. Toj) left RICHARD J.

Starting with a class of nearly five hundred students, it has diminished to approximately two hundred. Many of these have left the Institute to enter the service. The class of 2-47 entered immediately into the spirit of the Institute when they were confronted by the prospect of the annual Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. The threat of having to wear the barber- pole red and grey striped freshman tie gave the Frosh further impetus to win the Field Day. The Class of 2-47 turned out in larger numbers than any other freshman class had done in many a year. Unfortunately experience was with the Sophomore Class of 2-46, who paced by an aggressive V-12 section won all events but the tug-of-war. As the middle of August draws to a close, the Class of 2-47 again approaches another Field Day. The class approaches the day with a concerted and united spirit to win against the extreme odds the Freshmen can muster.

The admission of a class in February had never before been done by the Institute. It was rather a trial measure and as a result a small class was admitted. When registra- tion day arrived there were but two hundred civilians and a few score of navy men were in- cluded in the class. The Selective Service had already taken its toll. A second freshman class was admitted in July of 1944, but this class numbered well over four hundred members. Immediately there sprang up differences between the two classes as to whom was the freshman class. These differences spread to the Institute Committee where the Class of 2-47 questioned the representation of the Class of 10-46 as a freshman class. All attempts on the part of the Executive Committee of the Institute Committee to merge the classes as one as far as representation and class officers were concerned resulted in Top: EUGEXE M.

It was therefore decided to recognize the officers of both classes. In the late summer of 1944, the Class of 10-46 joined with the other freshman class to meet the well-renown sophomore class of 2-46 in the annual Field Day. The usual pre-Field Day antics were a little more enthusiastic than in other years. Every evening about eight, the quiet of the night was disturbed by the thrashing and yelling of freshmen and sophomores who were taking un- W ' illing swims in the murky Charles. Besides these usual manifestations of Field Day were wild stories told and retold by fraternity and dormitory men who would claim truth to the stories. Stories of sleeping freshmen with open mouths being awak- ened suddenly by the force of a pail of water in the face, of members of the Field Day athletic teams being taken out to lonely country lanes for the evening, of sophomores trapped on roof tops. Weird, wild tales, all of them. The big day finally did arrive and the results were none too good for the exuberant freshmen. The sophomores won in a landslide, 19-3 with the hapless frosh only victorious in the tug of war. The following elections at the beginning of their sophomore year found the Class of 10-46 choosing Frank Jones as president, Reuben Moulds, vice- president, Eugene Gettel as secretary, and Robert Creek as Institute Committee representative. At the end of the term Reuben Moulds left school and he was replaced by Gene Gettel as vice-presi- dent. Bob Creek moved up to the position of secre- tary and two more men were chosen as Institute Committee representatives. The Field Day of 1945 was a rather dull affair as the outnumbered sophomores kept sedately quiet while the freshmen showed little spirit. While they lacked enthusiasm, the sophomores had suf- ficient strength and skill in individual events to win by the overwhelming score of 19 to 3. The freshmen won only the Softball game.

The class elections for junior class officers were held in the first term of the junior year with James Craig elected president, Bill Semple, vice-president, Glen Dorflinger, secretary, and Hillman Dickinson and George Ley, Institute Committee representa- tives. The Junior Prom, the outstanding social event of the year was held at the Imperial Ballroom of [162] war and experienced victory the Statler with Mai Hallett and his orchestra providing the music. The Prom on Friday night was followed by several Junior Prom sponsored parties at three of the fraternity houses. The class ordered their senior rings at the end of their junior year with delivery promised before the between term vacation. Through the efforts of Chairman Ed Hill of the Ring Committee, we all received our rings in time to wear them home. At the conclusion of his junior year, Hillman Dickinson left the Institute for West Point where he entered as a plebe to begin his college life anew. It had long been Hillman ' s one desire to enter West Point. His friends at the Institute wish him well in his chosen life. Top: HILLMAN DICKINSON Institute Committee Representative Bottom: GEORGE A.

Even so, the evening passed much too quickly for it didn ' t seem long before Mai was closing the first night of a memor- able weekend.

Thursday night saw the big week start off with the senior stag banquet with Professor Schaeffer as Toastmaster. Even the eight Co-eds had their own private hen party, the activities ot which little is known. Friday night, the seniors and their charming dates completely took over the Parker House Roof, including bar, ballroom, and balcony. Dancing to the music of Tech ' s own up and coming band leader, Reuben Moulds, the happy seniors finished off the evening with the usual array of noisemakers, streamers, paper hats, etc. Saturday followed with a successful Class Day program and the annual Alumni banquet in the evening. With Monday came the all important event, graduation, followed by a reception by Dr. Comp- ton. And so amid final chats with the faculty, the Class of 6-45 bade farewell to their life at Tech.

Brayton 195 The Faculty at the Institute provide the finest possible education in engineer- ing, science, and architecture. The profes- sors and instructors are selected to perform this task and carry on the research and development work that have been a mark of Technology. The high regard held for Technology graduates in industry, and the great contributions of the Institute faculty in research during the war and in peace, are evidence as to how well these aims have been accomplished. . . GAixi AdtnlnMi udlO ' . . tli in44jciel an au nd wUick M. 9. 7. e W ee i Administration offers finest education DELBERT L. RHIXD Bursar HORACE S. FORD Treasurer The main aim of M.I. T. and its faculty is to pro- vide the finest possible education in science, en- gineering, and architecture; to be as effective as possible in the advancement of science and its practical applications; to mold the characters and interests of the students into the best type of Ameri- can citizenship; and to direct these efforts in the spirit of service to the public. At present there is the added aim to do everything possible to bring about a victorious end of the conflict which engulfs the world. With regard to the latter purpose, the staff and laboratories of Technology have contributed enor- mously to leadership and achievement in the tech- nological aspects of the war. Devices developed at Tech have contributed greatly to success on every front and on every sea, and commercial war pro- duction of them has run into exceedingly large figures. A goodly number of the staff members have held advisory, executive, and operating posts in the technological war organization all over the world. During the past year President Compton went [ 98] in science engineerings architecture to the Pacific war zone in his official capacity as chief of the office of field service. Office of Scientific Research and Development, to study under active service the use of various technical devices de- veloped for the Army and Navy. Commenting upon his trip, Dr. Compton said that the officers responsible for directing operations against Japan in the Pacific know what they want to do, how they intend to do it, and how the war is to be won. Also, he spoke of the fine spirit of co-operation and free exchange of technical in- formation among the scientists of the United Nations. The Institute has truly played a notable role in the war training of Army, Navy, Air Force, and civilian personnel. In a few important fields it has been the only, or the principal, training center in the country. In other fields it has taken its share along with many sister institutions. At present, besides the personnel of the United States armed forces at the Institute, there are sizable groups of naval officers from China, Turkey, and several South American countries, who are taking a special XATHANIEL McL. S. GE Director D. I. C, Placement Officer B. ALDEN THRESHER Dean of Admission GEORGE W. MOR.SE Medical Director [ 199 HAROLD E. LOBDELL Dean of Students course in naval architecture and marine engineer- ing. Members of the Technology staff have been leaders during the last few years in developments in electronics, instrumentation, methods of pro- pulsion, mechanisms for control of machinery, cal- culating devices, energy sources, plastics, organic chemistry, food technology, mechanics of materials, hydraulics, applied mathematics, and others. All these fields are destined to play important roles in the scientific and industrial activity of the future. According to Dr. Compton, they all fall within the scope of M.I.T. ' s educational and research pro- grams, and that students trained in them will be in demand. To exploit these opportunities, the Institute has recently authorized the establishment of an elec- tronics laboratory and the construction of a special laboratory to study new propulsion devices. Also it has undertaken an important investigation of plastics on behalf of the plastics industry. It has made provisions to house a new hydraulics labora- tory as well as providing for expanded activity in applied mathematics. When the war is over, the Institute will have some new educational facilities, notably the Chemical Engineering Building and THOMAS P. PITRE Associate Dean of Students WALTER R. MacCORNACK Dean of Architecture JOHN W. BUNKER Dean of Graduate School [ 200 ] GEORGE R. HARRISON Dean of Science JOSEPH C. NUcKINNON Registrar the permanent section of the space now assigned to the Radiation Laboratory. Among the special programs that attract an amount of interest from the student body are the co-operative courses. The Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Marine Transporta- tion Courses conduct such arrangements with certain important industrial organizations. These courses give the students a valuable educational experience in contact with the problems of the industries in which they are most interested. The Chemical Engineering Department attains es- sentially similar objectives through its program of practice schools, which are operated in conjunction with three important types of the chemical in- dustry. This latter plan has been discontinued for the duration of the war. As regards the future of the Institute, President Compton in his annual report stated: We have enthusiastic hope for this in- stitution ' s effective future. We have science in large quantities, not only in the work of the institution but in the spirit with which its opportunities are analyzed and its afTairs administered .... On the encouraging side I would urge that the value, effectiveness, and prestige of the Institute have never before been at so high a level. This is certainly a strategic vantage point from which to in- augurate the next advance. ... EDWARD L. MORELAND Dean of Engineering ROBERT G. CALDWELL Dean of Humanities [201 ] HOWARD R.

'  ' [229] The inside Moty of the Imodium- Cooled Valve Highlights in development of the valve now universal in aircraft engines of 300 horsepower or more and destined to play an important part in cars and trucks of the future EVERY now and then an en- gineering development proves so vitally important, so fundamen- tal, that upon one seemingly small idea the whole progress of an in- dustry may hinge. Such a development is the Sodium- Cooled Valve, for without it the war planes which today are blasting a victory-trail ahead of our troops might never have been possible. At the end of World War I it be- came evident that a radically new type of engine exhaust valve was needed if further strides in increas- ing output in aircraft engines were to be accomplished. Some of the nation ' s best engineering talent was put to work with the United States Army Air Corps to concen- trate on this problem. Prominent in this experimental work was S. D. Heron, a civilian engineer attached to McCook Field, Dayton. Heron ' s work led in the direction of a self- cooling valve even though prior experiments in this country and in England with mercury- and water- cooled valves proved unsuccessful. Inventor Heron, in the course of his experiments, observed that salt baths w operation, the liquefied metallic sodium is agitated by the up-and-down motion of the valve — absorbins heat from the valve head and dissi- pating it through the valve guide, thence to the cylinder and cooling system. used in heat-treating operations would readily wet the surface of the pots. This led him to believe that here might be the coolant for which a whole industry was searching. Filling a hollow-stem valve with a mixture of salts, he made a series of tests under conditions of violent detonation and pre-ignition in the engine. An uncooled valve would have failed completely. But the salt- cooled valve operated black in- stead of red hot, and showed little or no effects from this punishment. Eaton ' s Wilcox-Rich Division worked closely with inventor Her- on all through this pioneering period. A manufacturing license, granted by the inventor in 1926, was the natural result of this suc- cessful collaboration. It was in Eaton ' s extensive research labora- tories that experimentation proved the superiority of metallic sodium (since adopted) to salts as a cool- ant. And it was there that the Sod- ium-Cooled Valve, as it is known and used today, was developed commercially. This is the inside story of the Sod- ium-Cooled Valve. We at Eaton feel that the contribution made by our engineers two decades ago, plus our mass-production of this com- plex, precision - made aircraft engine part, give us the right to consider Eaton ' s aid to the air arm of our military forces as one of the factors contributing in an important way to Victory.

Complete bonding of every member into a homo- geneous structure. 2. Holds metal fasteners. 3. Lateral flexibility permits perfect troughing, accurate training, reduces fatigue of flexing at bend in troughing idlers. 4. Resists destructive action of continuous or heavy impact feeding. 5. Cushion Homocord body and low inelastic stretch reduce wear and tear of top cover. 6. Homocord body reduces hazard of punctures. 7. Homocords so completely encased in Flexlastics, moisture not admitted, mildew cannot start. Man- hattan Conveyor belts mildew-proofed throughout. 8. Longer life, lower cost per ton. Here is a totally different type of Strength Mem- ber construction — developed in time to speed war production and now improved with FLEX- LASTICS for post-war use. Pre-war installations have been delivering high tonnage on a steady basis that is adding to MANHATTAN ' S already distinguished achieve- ments in conveyor belt service. Homocord construction has been invented and perfected by MANHATTAN engineers particu- larly and only for conveyor belt use, and it is not designed for use in any other products. It is the first and only conveyor belt possessing the virtues of a cord belt, but with the drawbar strength and resistance to fatigue to hold metal fasteners. It marks a distinct milestone in con veyor belt progress. Longitudinal Homocords are grouped to give great tension strength and tied together with cross Homocords which allow exceptional trough- ing for full loading of the licit, plus the strength to permit use of fasteners. These component Strength Members are sealed-in to make a homogeneous, pliable belt which flexes easily around end pulleys. The Homocords, embedded in moisture-proof FLEX- LASTICS and mildew-proofed as additional protection, have a flexil)lc, resilient, rolling con- tact with each other to provide cushioned resist- ance for heaviest feed impact. These are significant advantages that will help you meet tomorrow ' s needs. They are worth investigating now. term FLEXLASTICS is an lusive MANHATTAN trade k.

This is accomplished with transfer switches which make the machine readily adaptable to climb bobbing and regular bobbing operations. Every possible operating convenience is included in Rigidhobber design and con- struction. Limit switches control length of travel and distance of rapid traverse and a safety overtravel switch is provided in case machine is operated beyond its capacity. One run button controls the machine. The main control is in the upper rear column protected from dirt and coolant. The simplicity of operation— the rigidity of design and construction — enables operator to become expert in a short time. Thus the Rigidhobber oflFers a practical, high production method for the accurate duplication of spur and helical gears — straight and helical splines.
