Since that time it has had a continuous history of progress, increasing from a small publication to the present technical journal published during eight months of the year. It has been for several years a leader in the Engineering College hlagazines Associated. One purpose of the Engineer is to provide an opportunity for those engineering students interested in technical journalism to become acquainted with the editing and managing of a technical journal. Klembers of the editorial staff learn to write engineering articles, and to become familiar with the details of page set up and typography, proof reading, and editing. Members ofthe business stali' learn the sales, circula- tion, advertising, and management of an engineering magazine. The other purpose of the Engineer is to provide the engineering students with a knowledge of the research projects of the University, with the news of successful alumni, and with a discussion of current engineering developments in industry and research The importance of the Engineer as an activity may be observed from the fact that there are now hfty members of the staff. The organization is under the direction of the Editor in-Chief, an Associate Editor, and the Business hlanager. In addition to these three positions held by seniors, there are live junior editors, four juniors in charge of business depart ments, a staff artist, and a number of sophomore and freshmen assistants The progress Wh1ch has been made during the last year, and the high quality of the magazine has placed it in a leading position among magazines which are devoted to engineering subjects Purdue Engineer J E Hoasom TY :A 5, i 5 l ' l , . - l r W I l 4 -- l 'fsfffa : I I Y-E, f ' c ., ' f-Shir.

Mechanical Engineering Professor G. A. Young has been connec- ted with Purdue University in one Way or another for over thirty-five years. He obtained his B.S. degree from the South Dakota State College in 1894, thereupon being appointed instructor of practical mechanics. A short time later he was advanced to the position of assistant instructor of mechanical engineering in charge of practical mechanics and junior laboratory courses. During the period from 1894 to 1898 he spent his summers away from the campus of N South Dakota at Purdue University, receiving his degree of B.S.hl.E. in 1899. Since that time he has spent all his time with the exception of one year on leave of absence at Harvard Univer- sity where he received the degree of RLS. of ME. in 1910. Prior to this time, in 1903, he PROFESSOR G. A. YOUNG sity. During his long period at Purdue he has served in many positions. From 1899 to he served as assistant in the Klechanical Engineering Laboratories, becoming an instructor in Beginning with the September term in 1903 he served as assistant professor of mechanical received the degree of Rl.E. from Purdue Univer- 1 931 1902. engi- neering, having charge of the courses on engines, boilers, and thermodynamics. The 19Qj-1906 school year was spent in teaching applied mechanics. During the following semester and until W-N 'EIPFSW9 ' V ,f7'N f9wx'.v W- g1'v1 W ' My -wax- IQOQ he again taught the courses on boilers, engines, and thermodynamics. Upon the resignation of XY. F. lXl. Goss in 1911-Mr. Goss at that time accepted a position of Dean of Engineering at the University of Illinois+Professor Young was appointed acting head of the School of hlechanical Engineering and Director of Engineering Research. He has held the above named positions since his appointment. Besides his experience in the teaching profession, he has had wide and varied experience in practical engineering. His summer vacations are devoted to outside engineering practice, principally work upon power plants, locomotives, and pumps. Besides field Work, he has spent a great deal of time in researches upon internal combustion engines, steam turbines, steam engines, and the fire carrying possibilities of locomotive cinders. He has published textbooks on the subjects of thermodynamics, steam turbines, engines and boilers, and gas engines, and has written numerous articles upon engineering subjects and quite a number of bulletins Professor Young has served on various committees and has held high offices in the professional engineering societies. He is vice-chairman of the committee on Chains and Sprockets of the A. S Xl. E., a member of the Committee on Standards of the S. A. E., a member of the Tank Car Com mittee of the A. R. A., and an honorary life member of the International Railway Fuels Associations, being on two committees. Besides the above he belongs to the S. P. E. E., Industrial Engineer's Society, and the American Association of Engineers 4 ' V W 'f ' ' wx- 'WP' ff' ' gf f f P'1 X' '. ' 1 7' 'Wi' , f ' , i'A1,l'L 15' A Wi . N W .- -1 4 1' -f - 1 .
