1 m s. '«CSS ■TME fl.920 EMF- Panstian after the receipt of his diploma lost “Berg and Upson” by spon- taneous combustion, and is now successfully engaged as installation engineer, installing “fool proof” farm lighting plants for the Brillion Light Heat and Power Co. He also receives large royalties for the use of his patents on PRACTICAL household utensils. Pettingill has discovered that a supernatent electrolyte when placed in a storage battery will not affect the instability of a Hudson Super-Six after it has reached the velocity of 67.3 miles per hour. This invention has brought great fortune to the young man, and he now has a palatial residence on Broad Street in Menasha. Van Susteren is now a brilliant light as switchboard engineer for the Westinghouse Co. Mis success is due principally to the invention of a device which automatically regulates the speed of a squirrel cage induction motor, by the action of a thermo couple which changes the resistance of the rotor bars. Koch is head of the extension division of the School of Engineering; is also a home-loving man. We were scarcely able to recognize him on the street the other day. He was in his Ford-Arrow, and the occupants of the car were apparently members of his immediate family, the relative number being correctly determined by the application of integral calculus, and in- tegrating between zero and infinity. Lovdale has just completed an extensive research on the effect of alcohol on the general efficiency of the human being. Due to the able presentation of his finding before congress, the dry act was just repealed, and the associa- tion of Brewers and Liquor Dealers have presented him with an appropriate Medal, and a recommendation to congress to place his bust in the Hall of Fame. Bocher’s general characteristics have led him to great success and fame as manager of the Good-Fellows Co-operative Association for the distribu- tion of wiring specialties. We also hear that his home life is very successful, superintended by an able and affectionate wife, without the use of a rolling pin. A startling headline in the sport edition of the Sunday paper led us to an investigation. S. of E. basketball quintet defeated the U. of 111. quintet by a score of 47 to 6. The result was accomplished by the able management of the athletic activities by Wieneke. Page Forly-tico

,5THE H02O E. CSrit There’s a potent, pregnant something that true hearted men admire, And it isn’t form or beauty and it isn’t dash or fire; It’s a steady, pounding offense when the odds are very great, And a heavy stubborn defense when the cause is lost for sure; It’s the soul of all good fighters who strike at man or fate, Play clean throughout the struggle, strive, grin and—just endure. It’s the stuff they have within them, That lets no knock chagrin them, Take it, smile—and hit— It’s Grit! There’s a wild and tameless challenge that denies a beast or man, That says “You may outplay me, you must win it if you can, W But I’m here to strength-dispute it till the final whistle shrieks, ] And you’ll find your path blockaded though you still may stumble through; But I’m here to stand the stamping, I am a man who speaks, And I stand or fall thus speaking; ’tis all a man can do!’’ Such are men who take a licking Take it smiling, never kicking, Keep coming, never quit— Pure Grit! It’s the thing the world is needing in the life-game everywhere, The strength that passes knowledge, the fighter Samson's hair. The strong will kill the weakling, but this spirit is not.weak, It’s the everlasting something that wins its goal at last; The earth shall stand and listen when the Never-conquered speak. When the final game is over and the season’s strain is past. All who strike at them shall know it, For the fighters always show it, Not wisdom, brains or wit, But Grit! Page Forty-four
