PURDUE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, INC. HBiI1!l'illg the past with the present for fbe future of Purdue A Friendly Message to the Class of 1933 It won,t be long now until a Com- mencement orator will be telling you how educated you are, so earnestly, that you may believe him. And then in a little while, about the time when perhaps you are be- ginning to find fault with your first boss qif you are lucky enough to have a first bossj you will start to realize that your education is only beginning. And, by that time, too, you will have a deeper appreciation of the fine start Purdue has given you in life, and of the advan- tages your background is afford- ing you over the less fortunate people working and living be- side you. Not until then will Purdue really begin to take definite form as your Alma Mater-to whom you owe so much and for whom you have a more genuine affection than you suspected possible. You will begin to realize that Purdue is more than a group of stately buildings surrounded by a magnificent campus. Yes! even more than an assemblage of in- tellectual leaders outlining, to aspiring students, the mysteries of the world in Ag- riculture, in Science or in Engineering. You will find that the University is more than an institution of learning that ranks high among other Universities of similar character in the nation. - You will begin to know that Purdue University is the heart throbs and ideals of many thousands of people, Purdue people, whose common emotions and devoted MEMORIAL UNION BUILDING UNIVERSITX' CAMPU OWEN M. BOOHER C225 loyalties set them apart from all other peo- ple in the world. People bound by a friendly, warming bond of common rem- iniscenceg people who have lived together, walked the old levee together, rooted vig- - orously for Purdue athletic vic- tories together. People who have known the Goldens, the Coul- ters, the Morans, the McCutch- eons and many other beloved Purdue personalities. People who have trod the traditional oval together, and sat under the campus trees while shadows grew long, and the light of day faded in the West. These people are the real University. You will begin to wonder where those old classmates and college friends are, and what they are doing, if and whom they married, and they'll want to know about you, too! The Purdue Alumni Association is the agency through which Purdue people Keep in Touchn and through which they are able to do many things in an organ- ized way for their Alma Mater. It is your organization, whose usefulness is limited only by the support it receives from those who are interested. We are sure the members of the Class of 1933 will be increasingly glad to have received from the University two years free membership in this very valuable and popular organization, and upon expira- tion of these two years will be willing and anxious to carry on for Old Purdue in their own right. Yours for Purdue, all ways and always, OWEN M. BOOHER, '08, E.Y8C1lffl'l' Sf'L'7'L'fl17'j' and Mmmging Editor.

DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH RELATIONS A man comparatively unknown to the general student body is the Director of Research Relations, Mr. G. S. Meikle. Previous to his coming to Purdue Mr. Meikle perfected sev- eral meritorious inventions. He pioneered in the develop- ment of rare gases, successfully constructed a hot cathode rectiher, and was co-inventor of a submarine detector for the United States Navy. At present Mr. Meikle heads the Purdue Research Foun- dation, and his wide experience in industry and his appre- ciation of the problems of research make him admirably fitted to co-ordinate the interests of industry and the Uni- versity. G. S. MEIKLE UNIVERSITY EDITOR Each year Purdue publishes a number of bulletins con- cerning the research work carried on by the University. With the exception of those published by the student or- ganizations, the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Ag- ricultural Extension Service, and the Publicity Department, all University publications are edited by Professor R. W. Babcock, the University Editor. Professor Babcock handles the financial as well as the editorial sides of this work, and through his work the University has been able to compile the results of its researches, and to present them to the pub- lic in a readable fashion. There are several annual publica- tions of which Mr. Babcock has charge. R. W. BABCOCK DIRECTOR OF PHYSICAL PLANT Mr. C. D. Bushnell was made Director of the Physical Plant after having served the University for thirteen years in various capacities. As Director he has maintained and beautified the campus, in addition to supervising all con- struction and repair work. He is in charge of the Purdue Power Plant, which has gained nation-wide distinction as being very modern and efficient and which supplies all the heat, light, and water for the University buildings. Mr. Bushnell is constantly on the alert to find new ideas which will improve the campus physically and artistically. l C. D. BUSHNELL 1219
