POTTER Engineering VER in the old electrical building where several of the officials of our school have their oflices, you will find a very earnest and energetic man who speaks rapidly and with a marked accent. That is Dean A. A. Potter, the head of all of the engineering schools on the campus. His activities are numerous since he is very well known all over the country and his determina- tion has enabled him to be a marked man of his word. Students in the engineering schools find him very amiable and always ready to lend a helping hand when it comes to any matter concerning engineering and it is for this reason that he spends con- siderable of his time with the student body. Through his personal acquaintances he is able to bring many prominent engineers and industrial leaders to the campus and the students are given the opportunity of meeting them in the far famed course of engineering administration, the lectures of which are at- tended by all senior engineering students. Dean Potter is also much in demand for consulting work and engineering projects requiring wide technical knowledge by large corporations all over the country. VVe are indeed proud to' have him as a friend and it can be assured that the future of the school will be one of progress under his careful guidance. -..ggi 24

4 ment of Chemical Engineering, Profes- sor Peffer directs one of the small- est but perhaps the hardest working student groups on the Campus. It is a popular belief, and without a ' -- doubt a truthful one, that the Chemical course is the toughest in the curriculum. At least the Chemicals manage to put in more hours per week in school than any of their classmates in the other En- gineering courses. Professor Pelfer has been head of this department since 191 1, and recently completed important in- 4 y . QS head of the Depart- Q. vestigations for the Indiana Lime- HARRY ll' WFFER Q . . . stone Association. He brings a l I wealth of practical experience to the courses under his direction. 'P aa- a I , K. PIATT, Dean of X . the School of Civil M Engineering, is one ' of the prominent engineers of the Middle VVest. He is consulting engineer for the great 'World XVar Memorial now under construction in Indianapolis, and is an authority and author in the held of testing materials. He is past director of the Advisory Board of Highway Research of the National Research Council, which has brought about . many radical changes and improve- ments in highway construction. C' . '4Doc is widely informed out- 1' i side the field of technical subjects. Sl WILLIAM K' HATT His hobby seems to be the history . of ancient peoples, and his lectures on Greek and Roman architecture are of the most interest-ing and 5 informative nature, even though given in a swallow-tail coat! t 1 Of rather lordly mein and dignity, one's first impression. is of 5 the aloofness and affected superiority of the man, only later to hnd him intensely human. .
