Marla Ellingson became president of the institute in 1936, after six yeags GS l' head of the new Department of Photographic Technology. ln 1937, the Empire tate t f Publishing and S h l f Printin was absorbed and became the Departmen o c oo o 9 . Printing which, to date, is the last to be added to the long list of comprehensive courses presented at RIT. ln the year 1946, the greatest project undertalcen by the institute was successfully l d d 'th the erection of the million-dollar George l'l. Clarlc building. This concu e wi magnificent edifice became reality, for the most part, through the efforts of one of test benefactors, Mr. George l-l. Clark who, for the past 35 years, has been the institute treasurer Three departments which now occupy this building, the Mechanical, Publishing i h ld' and Printing and Photographic Technology departments, malce use of t e wor s most comprehensive facilities for the teaching of the graphic arts. Space formerly allotted to these departments has been tripled, marlcing a most important milestone in the history of the Rochester institute of Technology. Thus from its modest beginning as the Rochester Literary Company, founded in 1822, the Rochester institute of Technology in 1947 is lcnown and respected the world over as one of the finest in existence. It now has an endowment of S3,500,00, a magnificent sum when one conjures a picture of that first little building with its few the lnstitute's grea shelves of boolcs. . There can be no better proof than this brief history, of the unselfishness of those men and women who, over the years, conceived and carried out the policies of the Rochester lnstituteof Technology. For their painstalting planning and labor there comes, not monetary reward, but the quiet satisfaction that is derived from giving part of one's attributes to one's fellow men and to posterity. Those who have gone before have served their fellow citizens, their city, and their country well. And if they were not venerated in their time, they shall be in ours. 14 It 1 i 1 l 3 i l i l L 1 2 in 5 i till? lim

Fr Cu lkiiim i fi V - Z Diana Lea, Treasurer The class of 1947 has much to remember. We witnessed an unusually small enrollment at R l T due to the war years. We also witnessed the ending of World War ll, and the gradual growth of the student body into an organization which has made this year brighter tor all of us. Under the able guidance of our President, John J. Dipaola, we have seen the social activities at R l Tgbecome, once again, a prominent part of our school life. All this could not have been accomplished without the assistance of Vice-President Robert Martin, Secretary Eleanor Roberts, Treasurer Dian!! Lea, Social Chairman Barbara Nicholson, and, oi course, our Faculty adviser, Franlc Clement. A series of social events this year was. highlighted by the Junior-Senior Ball, held at the Seneca Ballroom in May. , Convocation, May 17th, seemed to come All too soon, but still we leave with a ieeii after our thorough and individualized education. 16 HARAG-I PQ of confidence that we can undertalce the duties of capable citizenSi Amlllll SOE!! 5.5.3 UALLIINV l:'v '-O24 TZ :fn 3 sa ... r. ..
