INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 1925 President, Wiis S. MacLrop Vice-President, ‘THOMAS F. FrirzGERALD Secretary, CArL Y. PETERSON Treasurer, Everetr E. Spoor UTWARD SIGNS of Spring mean the end of cruel weather and the physical reawakening of all living things. But this Spring had a special significance for us in that it marked the end of our period of probation, our emergence from the chrysallis state. And as every- thing has the potentiality of growing and becoming something better and finer as time passes, gaining wisdom and experience, we choose to believe that every member of our group will take the rudiments here acquired and build on them an edifice that will be a monument to himself and a testimonial to his Alma Mater. Some wise man of the Semites said: “Houses built on sands cannot endure.” ‘Then starting with that hypothesis and continuing the above analogy, the limit to which we can rear our individual monu- ments is determined only by the initiative and perseverance of the man himself, for the basic truths of Engineering as learned at Pratt are piles that go down to the irrefragable, immutable laws of the Universe themselves. Some of us will aim our lives at the hump of the graph of life; some will estimate their progress at less than it will eventually become; and some will not aim at all, but will shoot their shot from a splatter-gun with closed eyes. But to whatever sphere we go or to what heights we attain, we will know that the life at Pratt has made its impression on us and helped to mould our characters in the way that wisdom and experience have taught to be the best. Our course supervisor, Mr. Kottcamp, has always held a rather unique and enviable position in the regard of both the embryonic and full-blown M. E.’s, but this year, class and instructor have even more nearly reached co-operation because of the added bond of simultaneous graduation! Everyone admires a man who is fearlessly honest and aboveboard. During the years Mr. Kottcamp has been at Pratt he has built up a reputation for integrity which is possibly the finest kind of capital with which a man can enter the industrial world. We wish for him nothing less than the summit! Aesop, Mohammed, Jesus, and Buddha, all sweetened their pills cf wisdom with a coating of parable. Mr. Marsh does, too, and the laughs his spirituals create, help us to visualize the things really worth while. It is he who helps us to feel our way through the obscuring veil of materialism to a glimpse of the brighter world beyond. If a man is but conscientious clear through his work, none can take from him the feeling that comes with the knowledg e of work performed to the utmost of his ability. Mr. Harper leaves nothing to conjecture but makes certain that all understand thor- oughly. So from us all, “Here’s to Mr. Harper.” 21
