You have seen the college in part a military school with an enrollment of more than 300, a civilian institution with a student body of less than 40, and, a year later, a college for civilians and veterans with well over 400 under- graduates. In addition some of you have had your college life interrupted by service in the armed forces. No fluctuations comparable to these occurred during the first world war and the Spanish war had little effect on college enrollment. Since 1940 industry has expanded to meet the production demands of war and contracted again as contracts were terminated. Colleges, in the same years, expanded like industry, con- tracted almost to the vanishing point, and, unlike industry, expanded again beyond any pre- vious peak. With all the difficulties and irregularities of these changes at Rose you have been very patient, and faculty and administration are most grateful to the Class of 1946 for the toler- ance and goodwill with which the necessary adjustments were accepted. Perhaps there were certain advantages in the trials of your undergraduate years. You had an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other and with the faculty. You observed at first hand wide variations in production rate, which should interest engineers. You recited more frequently than the college student of normal years, a result not necessarily stirring your enthusiasm but probably good for your soul. You participated in extra-curricular activities to a greater degree than is usually possible and you deserve much praise for the success with which you carried on your organizations in the face of depleted enrollment. In short your college training was unique, but, I believe, better preparation for careers in engineering than the experiences of normal academic years. Your technical studies have not been slighted. Courses may have been given in unusual combinations, but they were given. Stand- ards were maintained. Your degrees merit the full recognition which degrees from Rose alwavs receive. As we say farewell we wish to express again our appreciation of the cooperation which you have demonstrated. If you accept and overcome difficulties in your future careers as you have the problems of your academic years your success is assured. We, who stay on at Rose, shall al- ways have a special regard for the Class of 1946. You and we solved our problems together. Cordially yours, DONALD B.

A regular college course in Military Science and Tactics is taught by a United States Army Staff. The course is divided into two parts —a six term basic course and a six term advanced course plus eight weeks of active duty at some recognized army station. Any student physically able is qualified to take the basic course, but the advance students are picked by the military department and the faculty on the basis of grades and leadership. Completion of the advanced course gradu- ates the student as a second lieutenant in the Organized Reserve of the United States Army. 64 Hargrave. b) Womack, and Sgt 6 Sgt b) Rhode Col Lt a ee | ROFL: OFFICERS IN THE ROSE R.0.T.C.

The succeeding senior classes continued to publish the book until 1896 when the responsibility of the annual was placed in the hands of the junior class. After 1896 the Modulus appeared at irregular intervals until 1929. In 1931 the Student Council called for a revision of the staff organization and publica- tion procedures. At that time the policy of choosing staff members from the entire student body was instituted. From 1931 until 1943 the Modulus was published yearly. The 1944 Modulus was not published as a direct consequence of wartime condition. The decreased enrollment and rapid turn over of the student body deemed it inadvisable to at- tempt publication of the book. Although the enrollment remained at a low ebb, the approach of peace time conditions was heralded by the publication of the 1945 Modulus. Although small when compared with pre-war volumes, the 1945 edition represented the untiring effort of a few hard working individuals. This year, as in the past, the staff has been hampered in its work by lack of an office and adequate equipment. Overlooking such handicaps, it has been the endeavor of the staff to present the student body with a book which holds a pictorial history of their life at Rose. We hope that we have met with success in our endeavor. Although this edition of the Modulus was originally intended to have been published in conjunction with the graduating class of December, 1946, it was deemed advisable to in- clude the graduating class of June 1, 1947 and, consequently withhold publication until June, 1947. In the future the Modulus will continue to be published in the spring of each year, thereby coinciding with the spring graduation exercises. The staff is chosen at the end of the spring term by a committee consisting of the retir- ing editor, the business manager, and the faculty adviser. Their choices are made from written applications submitted by students desirous of obtaining positions on the Modulus. During the course of compiling material and publishing this edition of the Modulus we have had two faculty advisers. We are equally indebted to Professor H. V. Fairbanks and Mr. G. K. Haist, both of whose cooperation and helpful suggestions meant so much toward the publication of this volume.

TECHNIC The Rose Technic is the monthly publication of the students of Rose. Founded in 1891, it is one of the oldest, largest, and most active of the extra- curricular organizations at Rose. The magazine has been a member of Engi- neering College Magazines Associated since 1921 and has always ranked high among the publications of the leading engineering colleges throughout the country. Delegates are sent to the annual E. C. M. A. convention. Since the Technic receives a share of the student fund, every student is entitled to a subscription to the magazine. The staff is divided into two sec- tions—editorial and business—and a wide variety of positions are available. Work on the editorial staff includes the writing of both technical and non- technical articles, campus news, sports, alumni and fraternity news, humor, illustrations, and make-up work. Work on the business staff includes local and national advertising, circulation, correspondence, etc. During the war the enrollment of the school dropped to a very low level, and numerous difficulties were encountered in publishing the magazine. Great credit is due the wartime staff for maintaining the good quality and continuous publication record of the Technic. With the greatly increased en- rollment this year, a complete reorganization is taking place, and the staff is pledged to better all previous records of attainment. a | } ROSE TECHNIC TCOUCO 1 eee ee eee ee R.

HANDBOOK THE STUDENT HANDBOOK Previous to 1930, the Rose Y.M.C.A. annually published a Handbook containing useful information concerning the school, campus activities, fra- ternities and Terre Haute. It was principally intended to help freshmen and other new students orient. themselves. When the Rose Y.M.C.A. was discon- tinued in 1930, the Student Council took over the task of publishing the Handbook and will continue to publish it yearly. The Handbook staff is chosen by the president of the Student Council and is subject to the approval of the faculty. Staff of 1947 EeditOr. oce82 ee ee ee David M.

He graduated from Butler University in 1923, participating in three major sports. The intervening years were spent as a high school coach at Marshall, Illinois; an instructor in the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, Oregon; and athletic director at Wash- ington College, Chesterton, Maryland. His best football teams at Rose were in 1930, 1931, 1941, and 1942. The first two teams lost a total of three games in those years, and the 1941 eleven was undefeated and untied. In 1942, Rose, paced by Ed McGovern, who led all collegiate scorers in the country with 165 points in 6 games, lost but one game, a 14-13 thriller with Wabash. A close parallel to Coach Brown’s problem of post-war athletics is the individual problem faced by the men whose education and collegiate athletic careers were interrupted by the war. These men are, in most cases, bigger and heavier than before they went into service and generally view their return to intercollegiate competition with mixed emotions. Our track team met with mediocre response. The football team has fared a little better, but at this time many questions still remain unanswered. Time alone will tell. At least it is a certainty that these next few years will prove unusually interesting, at least from the spectators’ view point. Coach Brown, like practically all coaches throughout the country, is faced with the difficult problem of leading us in the conversion from three years without any intercollegiate sports to full-time participation by Rose teams. To date, material on hand is questionable in its calibre. So it is his task to try to put forth winning teams under very unenviable conditions. However, we all have confidence in Coach Brown and feel sure that he will get the maximum results with whatever material he has at his disposal.

TRACK Our track team, the first one at Rose since 1943, while it did not achieve success by the usual standards of victory or defeat, did prove one thing— that Rose will have teams which will provide tough competition to all who face them in the future. The team was small, and a majority of the men were inexperienced. The veterans found it hard, as a rule, to achieve the strict condition required for track simply because they were unaccustomed to phys- ical endeavor of that nature in military life. It is certain that we will have a much better team next Spring. Herb Bailey and Bill McGlone formed the nucleus for a team which was better at each succeeding meet. Bailey, who entered as many as six events in one meet, was high scorer with 46 points. Other major letter winners in- cluded Sutton, C. G. Weibel, J. Weibel, Tiefel, Royer, Walls. The 1946 track managers, who received manager letters, were Ed Booth and Jim Milner. 79 FOOTBALL ROSE—MANCHESTER In their first game since 1942, Rose lost to Manchester College, 9-7, in a bitterly-con- tested struggle. The Engineers, behind 9-0 at the half, threatened continually throughout the second half, and finally scored when Tim Kelly, acting Captain, blocked a punt and fell on the ball in the end zone. Allen Smith converted from placement and the score remained at 9-7. Frequent fumbles hurt our cause, but the game was well-played and hard fought. Our line was almost impregnable, and statistics revealed that we outgained the Manchester team. ROSE—RIO GRANDE In a surprise upset, Rio Grande College of Ohio defeated the Engineers, 28-6. The Rose team, tired from a long road trip and hampered by injuries to key men, fell victim to a strong second half offense after holding a 6-3 lead at half time. Although Smith scored for the Engineers on a nineteen yard end run. ROSE—HANOVER In their third game the Engineers again outfought and outplayed their opponents, but lost again, this time to Hanover College, 7-0. We led in first downs nine to four, and outgained them by a wide margin, but once more fumbles proved costly, and they kept us from serious- ly threatening. The line, led by Cavanaugh, Woolsey, Morris, and Kelly bottled up Hanover’s ground at- tack, and kept their offense at a standstill. ROSE—W ABASH A very costly fumble on the six yard line in the early part of the game proved to be the turning point of the Wabash game. They recovered and struck back with a series of light- ning-like thrusts to conquer the Engineers 34-0. Wabash, with its speedy Roman and power- ful Allerdice, scored its touchdowns not on long sustained drives but rather on the capitali- zation of momentary mental lapses of the Rose defense. Our offense never really had a chance to get started, but once again our line held its own and was never outplayed. 80 Left to Right: Front row: Grant, Keogh, Van Meter, Larson, Verdeyen, Torrence, DeReamer, Milner.

FOOTBALL ROSE—INDIANA CENTRAL In their first homecoming game in four years the Engineers came through in brilliant fashion and upset Indiana Central 13-7. We scored all our points in the first half, with Smock intercepting a pass and racing thirty-four yards for the first touchdown. “Tiny” Smith con- verted. Late in the second quarter Cavanaugh and Kelly blocked a Central punt, and Cav- anaugh recovered on the Central eighteen yard line. A fifteen yard unnecessary roughness penalty put us on their four, and Ronnie Larson lugged it over. The try for extra point was blocked. In the second half Indiana Central showed why it had the trickiest offense in Indiana. They tried everything possible and finally scored on a long pass. The try for extra point was good. But the Engineers held fast after that and had the ball on Central’s three yard line when the game ended. Outstanding for Rose were Kelly, Cavanaugh, Long, and Verdeyen. 81 FOOTBALL ROSE—PRINCIPIA Mother Nature settled the outcome beforehand to a great extent when Rose played Principia at Alton, Illinois. The field, drenched by six inches of rain which had fallen within the past twenty-four hours kept all offensive action to a minimum, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. ROSE—CEDARVILLE The most surprising and stinging defeat handed to the Engineers all season was dealt by a small, lightweight band of gridders from Cedarville Teachers College of Cedarville, Ohio. The final score was 32-14, but that only tells part of the tale. At the end of the first half the score read 26-0 with Rose being out-classed in every department. Paced by full- back J. McNulty, Cedarville capitalized on every Rose mental lapse and seemingly scored at will. The Engineers rallied in the second half, scoring on a pass from Larson to Arvin after a series of passes set up the score. J. Smith converted. In the last few minutes Larson plunged over from the four yard line for the last Rose touchdown. Smith again kicked the extra point and the score remained at 32-14. ROSE—FRANKLIN In a slow game brought about by a rain-soaked gridiron, Rose lost to Franklin College, 12-0. The Grizzlies scored their first touchdown after a sustained downfield march, and their second came as a result of a blocked Rose punt. Both attempts for the extra point were blocked by the Engineers. ROSE—EARLHAM Rose ended its first postwar football season by witnessing a one man show put on by Eugene Brown, fleet-footed Earlham halfback who scored four touchdowns in handing the Engineers their seventh loss, 26-6. Rose fought hard and never slowed their efforts to stem the tide, but it was a case of too much Brown. Ronnie Larson scored the last Rose touch- down of the year when he raced fifteen yards. 82 : Sa nae SM RTT 83 prt hey! DoNciNEER: First row: Leins, Kylander, Greger, Mitchell.

ALI ChoE: The Rose Polytechnic Institute Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers was founded on March 18, 1937. The organization gives the students an opportunity for membership in a professional society, which develops the spirit of professional pride among its members. All stu- dents majoring in Chemical Engineering are eligible for membership. This year the chapter made a trip to Robinson, Illinois to visit the Ohio Oil Company. A banquet was held in the evening, followed by interesting talks given by the chemists and chemical engineers of the company. Dr. Sidney M. Cantor visited the chapter and presented a very interesting talk on “The Use of Ion Exchange Resins in Sugar Refining.” Refreshments were served during the discussion that followed. Talks by students helped furnish programs for the meetings. The officers for this year were: Chairman 22.4 ee ees ..Warren F. Haverkamp Vice-Chairman 25.22. 2 Saphenous: Meee Robert M.

Oprisu 86 The American Society of Civil Engineers, founded in 1852, represent the civil engineer- ing profession nationally, and has as its object the perpetuation of research in civil engineer- ing theory and practice as well as the development of the engineering ability of individual members. The Rose Student Chapter of the A.S.C.E. was established in 1927. Lack of member- ship forced its inactivation in 1943, but the Chapter was reactivated in September 1946 by Seniors C. G. Weibel and H. W. Morris. The Chapter holds luncheon meetings twice monthly. Programs included films on arc welding from Lincoln Electric Company and on the Building of Willow Run from Ford, a lecture on air entrained cement by Master Builders Company, a lecture on ventilation by H. H. Robertson Company, and a report on the A.S.C.E. Quarterly Convention at Kansas City by Fred Koebel and Richard Elstner, chapter delegates.

The American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the national professionali organization for electrical engineering, was founded in 1884 and has as its objects the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering and of the allied arts and sciences, the maintenance of high professional standards among its members, and the development of the individual engineer. The institute has contributed greatly toward the remarkable progress in the electrical field, and has been an important factor in advancing the interest of its individual members and of the entire engineering profession. During the war the enrollment in the Student Branch of the A.I.E.E. at Rose became very small, and the chapter was forced to become inactive. In the latter part of January 1946, Professor C. C. Knipmeyer called on the students to reactivate the Branch. Under the capable guidance of Professor Knipmeyer the membership has now risen to 21, and meetings are being held every two weeks, The officers of the Rose Branch of the A.I.E.E. are Professor C. C.

The Rose Student Chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers was installed in 1927, Membership in this chapter is open to all sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors taking the mechanical engineering course. The purpose of the society is to acquaint the student with the practical side of the field of mechanical engineering and give the student an opportunity to meet men actively engaged in mechanical engineering. Regular meetings and inspection trips have been held with this in mind. Each month the members receive a vopy of the official publication of the national organization, “Mechanical Engineering.” The student members also have the privilege of becoming junior members of the parent society upon graduation. The high light of the year was a trip to Notre Dame University, where the chapters of twelve schools were represented. Each school was represented by a speaker, Rose was capably represented by Keith Sutton. The program also included an inspection trip through the American Foundry Equipment Com- pany of Mishawaka, and a talk on “Shot Peening” was given by Mr. John C. Straub of the same company.

CAMERA CLUB : The camera club has always been one of the more active clubs on the campus. It seems that Rose has always had its share of camera fiends, and this year was no exception, the club being one of the largest on the campus. This club was one of the few clubs at Rose that remained on an active basis throughout the war. The club charges a small fee from each member per semester which en- titles him to the facilities of the club room. Private lockers are available in the club room for a slight additional fee. The members furnish their own material, some of which is made available through the club. The success of this working plan can be seen in the large club membership each year. Officers of the club for this year were: President). ee oe ee ee Robert LaFollette Vice-President... see ee ee ee William Maddock Supply Keeper ................... Je ie ee Robert Mikels 90 MS ee Be One of the best-known organizations to people outside the school is the Rose Glee Club. The club offers the opportunity to men who are interested in vocal work to improve their abilities and to join together with other similarly- interested men in rendering vocal harmony. Much of the success of the group can be given to Mr. Emil Taflinger, director, and Mrs. Clyde Bennett, pianist, whose untiring effort and immense patience contributed to the fine melodies produced. Several appearances were made during the year at various service clubs and schools throughout the community. This season can be looked back upon as the return to pre-war quality. The club suffered from lack of manpower during the war period. Officers for the past year were Keith Sutton, President, and Bill Stutz, Business Manager. | First row: Mullen, Supp, Stutz, Sutton, A.

RADIO CLUB The Rose Tech Radio Club provides facilities for students interested in the various branches of radio communication. The club maintained and operated an amateur station from 1932 until the outbreak of World War II when broadcasting on the amateur band was prohibited. With the return of radio amateurs to the air, the Radio Club has purchased one of the best amateur transmitters available and has begun broadcasting again. Other facilities of the club include recording apparatus, a code machine, Army surplus high frequency radio equipment, one large receiver, and several small receivers in construction. Professor Moench, faculty adviser of the Radio Club recently returned from the service, has devoted a great deal of time in the interest of the club and the furtherance of club activities.

The Rifle Club was organized in 1924. Membership is open to all students on payment of the annual dues of fifty cents. The firing is super- vised and gives the student an excellent opportunity to learn the fundamentals of rifle technique. The Rifle Club has been inactive during the war but was reactivated in December, 1946, with Colonel Rhode as faculty adviser.

The students realized the need for such an organization as a means of sharpening their argumentative abilities. The team was late in getting started this last year, but debates were held with Indiana State Teachers College and DePauw University. The team also entered the debate tournament at Indiana State early in March. The topic for the year was: “Resolved: The foreign policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade among the nations of the world.” Ted Blickwedel was awarded a Debate Club Key for two years service on the team. The annual banquet was held at Berry’s. We wish to thank Reverend LeRoy Brown for his excellent coaching advice.

Shey MEN ener | In 1938 the “R” Men’s association was organized for the purpose of con- solidating the lettermen of football, basketball, track, and rifle teams at Rose into an organization to promote greater interest in athletics. The organi- zation also serves to establish a link between athletics of the past and present. The above pictured “R” Men are those who returned after vacationing for Uncle Sam. The association was not reactivated until the spring of 1947 at which time Joe Van Meter was elected president and A. E. Smith elected vice president. One of the main activities of the Association is the taking of moving pictures of all football games. To promote and finance these pictures the “R” Men manage the concessions at all athletic events. 94 —— nicl ee — o=sSsaS=SS=[=[=[apU====SSSSS= ATHLETIC ASS’N The Athletic Association is a governing board which gives the students a voice in athletics. It is composed of eight men, two elected from each class. Their duties are varied but their main responsibility is to set the require- ments necessary to win an athletic award, and to select those men who are to receive awards at the end of each season. Recommendations for awards are submitted by Coach Brown and are thereby judged. Awards are then made with regard to the recommendations and at the association’s discretion. Asso- ciation meetings are not held at regular intervals but are called whenever it may be necessary to amend athletic rules or to award letters.

HONOR MEN In an endeavor to partially repay those men who have distinguished themselves in extracurricular activities, the Student Council awards them the Rose Honor Key. The men to whom this Key is awarded bear the title “Rose Honor Men.” In order to be eligible for this award a student must earn a total of fifteen honor points for two consecutive terms. The fields of work for which points are awarded are of a widely diversified nature. Honor points are awarded for work in athletics, student publications, student organizations, and other fields of endeavor. The school and student owe much to these men for it is within their ranks that the true “Rose Spirit” is found. The Honor Key which they receive is a symbol of the schools indebtedness to them. STUDENT COUNCIL | With the advent of a greatly increased enrollment since the war, this : year’s council was constantly presented with many student problems. During the year the organization sponsored the annual St. Pat’s Dance and the first post-war Homecoming festivities. | The council is made up of the true leaders of the school, men who have been elected to offices in their various clubs and classes. The officers of the council are elected by the body itself, except for the Financial Secretary, who is chosen by vote of the council from names submitted by Dr. Prentice. The council handles disbursement and allotment of the student fund and the funds of all organizations. It also presents honor keys to honor men of i the school and is the final governing body of all student organizations. | Officers for the year were: | First Half Second Half : Bresicl eit meee terse tee eas. 8 oe Herb Bailey Keith Sutton : Wace=Presicen teens wat eres) George Staub Marshall Roesch | Recordingyoccretaryie ss a. a Frank Dorfmeyer Jack Travelstead inancialm secretary wee eee ke Jack Doerffler Frank Beeler Left to right: Travelstead, Staub, Cassel, Bannister, C.

DORMITORY ASSOCIATION The students living in Deming Hall have organized the Dormitory Asso- ciation for the purpose of promoting good study conditions, keeping order, and arranging social functions for the Dorm students. The organization is governed by an executive committee (elected by the members) and under the capable guidance of Rev. LeRoy Brown. The social activities consist of several dances given each spring and fall, a Christmas party, and “smokers” for new freshmen entering the Dormitory.

Alpha Tau Omega was founded eighty two years ago by three Confelerate veterans, who organized the first chapter at Virginia Military Institute. The fraternity has grown to 100 active chapters in the leading colleges and universities of the nation with 89 active alumni associations. Indiana Gamma Gamma of Rose was founded on November 15, 1893 by F. E, Smith who came to Rose from Beta Beta of Alabama. The chapter was grieved with the passing of Brother Smith on December 29, 1945 and all members draped their pins for a period of thirty days in tribute. The chapter has been active socially and academically in extracurricular activities and has been contributing its best efforts in getting Rose and the chapter back to their pre-war status. 100 a EEEEEEEEEoEooEEEEEEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeaeaeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEOEEEeEOOe On March 8, 1946, the chapter was host to the first post-war Province XVII “State Dinner-Dance.” Chapter from Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, and DePauw were the guests. Alpha Tau Omega has taken a big step nationally in converting to peace by holding their first post-war National Convention at Chicago. Indiana Gamma Gamma sent three delegates to the convention who brought back excellent impressions and reports as to the future of A. T. O.

The Theta-Kappa chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha traces its history back to 1900 when it was organized as a local fraternity under the name P. I. E. S. In 1925 this local fraternity was chartered as Indiana Gamma of Theta Kappa Nu; and in 1939, when Theta Kappa Nu and Lambda Chi Alpha merged, it became Theta-Kappa Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha. The national organization of Lambda Chi Alpha was founded in 1909. It has grown rapidly since that time and now comprises 114 chapters. It is the second largest national fraternity, and one of the first international fra- ternities, having two chapters in Canada. The size and strength of the chapter has been greatly increased during the year by the return of many brothers from the armed forces. Social ac- tivities have included an ice-skating party, stag parties, a Founder’s Day Dance at Edgewood Cabin, an All-State Dance at the Columbia Club in In- dianapolis, banquets, picnics at Turkey Run State Park and Professor Knip- meyer’s farm, and a combined theater and bowling party. Several visits to nearby chapters have also been made. The brothers have been very active in the school’s social and academic extra-curricular activities. Robert Bannister served as editor of the Technic. Five members worked on the Student Council and five are members of Tau. betaven 102 | Officers for the year were Ted Blickwedel, President; Eugene Broemmel- siek, Vice-President; Felix Grohovsky, Secretary; Don Spencer, Treasurer; William Sharpe, Ritualist; Jim Fields, Social Chairman; Warren Haverkamp, Rush Chairman; and Ted Sterne, Correspondent.

SIGMA NU Sigma Nu Fraternity, founded at the Virginia Military Institute, a state college, in 1869, was early known as the Legion of Honor, from which some of its outward manifastations, such as the badge, were taken. Its founders were cadets James F. Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James Mcllvain Riley, honor was the cardinal motif, virtue the essential teach- ing, and friendship the token of Sigma Nu. Today, with ninety-eight active chapters located throughout forty-six states and the District of Columbia and approximately 42,000 living i members, Sigma Nu has become a truly national fraternity based essentially on the three cardinal principles of its founders, honor, virtue, and friendship. Beta Upsilon, the chapter at Rose, was founded on May 5, 1895 by George Schurzman of the Purdue Chapter, Beta Zeta. At the present, chapter meetings are being held at Deming Hall. Being quite progressive in nature, the chapter is investigating all possibilities of re- opening a chapter house. Chapter activities of this past year were highlighted by a “Star Light” dance given for the school on the tennis courts. Officers: ACU Vai CLUISC mpemenineee mettre A ate. ee oe Te Professor E. A.

At first the fraternity was limited to engineering colleges, but since 1926 the scope has been broadened to include chapters at colleges of arts and sciences. Kappa Chapter was founded at Rose in 1907 by six students who went to Theta Chapter at Purdue University to be initiated into Theta Xi. The fraternity house is located at 1701 Chestnut Street. Full pledge classes and the return of members discharged from the armed forces have resulted in a phenomenal growth in Kappa Chapter during the past year. The high percentage of veterans, some of whom are married, and the accelerated program at Rose have perhaps changed the complexion of fraternity life as compared with the pre-war style, but the enthusiasm of the participation in chapter and school activities reveals the same high spirit still present. Our social activities this year were highlighted by a banquet for home- coming alumni, and the annual Christmas formal dance, both at the Mayflower Room of the Terre Haute House. Other activities throughout the year in- cluded sports, picnics, open-house parties, a sport dance, and stags. The present officers of the chapter are Edward T. Mabley, President; William G. Blount, Vice-President; Geosge M. Staples, Treasurer; Walter B. Vander Veer, House Manager; Sherrill J. Arvin, Assistant House Manager; and Orville L. Stone, Corresponding Secretary. 107 THETA XI FRATERNITY Es LOST GREEKS Left to right, Front row: Young, Leanord, Stambaugh. Back row: Buechler, Lee, Elstner. Early in January 1947 it was found that there were a number of Rose Men who were members of naticnal fraternities without chapters represented on the Rose campus. So that they could participate in interfraternity activities, and so that they could enjoy fraternity fellowship these men organized a group calling themselves THE LOST GREEKS. THE LOST GREEKS have an active membership of thirteen representing eleven fraternities including Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Acre K, and Delta Chi. It has been the pilicy of THE LOST GREEKS to hold dinner meetings every two weeks. At various meetings faculty members classified as “lost greeks” were guests. THE LOST GREEKS took an active part in the St. Pat’s Dance and the Interfraternity Dance. Officers of THE LOST GREEKS: Chairman: (26202) yee ee ee William R.

Riley at the University of Florida. The immediate need for a service fraternity brought about its organization and adoption by seventy-two colleges and universities throughout the United States. The purpose of the Blue Key is to further the best interests of the school in which the chapter is located. It recognizes men with outstanding leadership qualities on the campus. At the same time a candidate must have a scholarship rating higher than the school average. Blue Key was reactivated in January by returning Key men C. G. Weibel, Bill Cornell, and Jim Conover. The 1947 St. Pat’s Dance was sponsored by the Blue Key as well as the: Homecoming Dance in the fall. Other activities include sponsoring of the recreation room and a Smoker for entering freshmen.

The national association was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 by Dr. Edward H. Williams, Jr., and since then chapters have been or- ganized in engineering schools all over the country. The local Indiana Beta chapter was es- tablished at Rose in 1928, superseding the campus E® honorary fraternity. A student is scholastically eligible for Tau Beta Pi if he ranks in the upper eighth of the junior class or the upper fifth of the senior class. Scholarship alone, however, is not the sole criterion for membership. To become a member of the fraternity a student must have shown his high character by active participation in extracurricular activities and school affairs. During the war the local chapter had only a semi-active status, but with the return of ex-servicemen undergraduate members and the greatly increased number of eligible juniors and seniors the chapter has again assumed its pre-war activity. Two members were sent to the national convention at Columbus, Ohio in October. Officers are Carl Wodicka, President; Bill Cornell, Vice-President; Robert Flack, Sec- retary-Treasurer; Charles Hicks, Corresponding Secretary. 110 —E TAU NU TAU Tau Nu Tau is a military fraternity in conjunction with the advanced course in R. O. T. C. The fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1929, and the chapter at Rose was established in 1930. All students in the advanced course are members. Tau Nu Tau was inactive at Rose during the war, but has just recently been reactivated. The first post-war Military Ball was held in February, 1947 in the May- flower Room of The Terre Haute House. Music was furnished by Fred Cizek and his orchestra. Bresident ees net Sil ce Ue) eae ee eee Wm. Berling Walce=beresi Gein tpee ammenities) rere 02 Carl Johnson Secretary.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Interfraternity Council at Rose is a representive group of the four social fraternities on the campus. Each fraternity has two representatives, one elected by each fraternity an d the president of each. The president of the college completes the roster. The purpose of this group is both judicial and legislative for obtaining the maximum cooperation between fraternities. Its important acts in the past have been to settle disputes, and to plan interfraternity activies. 112 ql IX tg jmggsilt li Nes i ST. PAT’S DANCE When St. Patrick drove all the snakes from the shores of Ireland, he performed the greatest of all engineering feats. Thus, on his feast day every student of engineering pauses to pay homage to his patron saint. Rose held its annual St. Pat’s Dance March 15, at the Mayflower Room of the Terre Haute House. Besides the current students at Rose, many former Rose students awaiting the opportunity to return to school attended the affair. The couples danced to the music of Leo Baxter and his orchestra. The St. Pat’s Dance, one of the remaining high spots in Rose’s wartime social activities, was sponsored by the student council and thoroughly enjoyed by all. HOMECOMING DANCE The weekend of festivities was inaugurated by Rosie’s traditional excursion into town under the vigilant eye of the freshmen. Saturday found the Fighting Engineers rolling over Indiana Central by the score of 13 to 7. For the first time in history the alumni meeting and banquet were held in conjunction with homecoming. A dance was held at the Armory clos- ing the weekend of gaiety and activity. The rose and white decorations mingled with the music of Fred Cizek and his orchestra and the high spirits of all who attended proved that this was one of the most successful homecomings in years. 114 STARLIGHT DANCE Although not an annual affair, the Starlight Dance held August 17 was one of the highlights of the social season. The tennis courts were gaily decorated to form an apropriate background for the unique setting. The price of admission was the “desire to spend an enjoyable evening’. The chaperones were Professor and Mrs. E. A. MacLean, Mr. and Mrs. Darrell E. Criss, and Mr. and Mrs. John T. Newlin. The dance was planned and given by the Sigma Nus. MILITARY BALL The first post-war Military Ball sponsored by Tau Nu Tau, was held February 22, 1947. Tables were arranged cabaret style on the mezzanine of the Terre Haute House while music was provide d in the Mayflower Room by Fred Cizek and his orchestra. As in the past, the Military Ball proved to be one of the most colorful affairs of the social season. Tau Nu Tau will continue to sponsor the Ball annually. Chaperones for the evening were Dr. and Mrs. D. B. Prentice, Professor and Mrs. Carl Wischmeyer and Professor and Mrs. E. A.
