CURRICULA AND FACULTY Small laboratory groups make possible a wider scope of practical, on-the-job application. The chemical engineer of today finds an increasing demand for his knowledge and experience in the transformations of natural resources to supply the expanding markets for chemical products. The chemical engineering course is balanced to provide a sound foundation for advanced study or specialization in one of the chemical or allied industries. 10 Chemical Engineering { } { + Ls Courses range from the theoretical to the practical, with emphasis placed upon both lectures and research in the fields of chemistry and upon laboratory exercises and operations. 11 Civil En = meering Men of the civil engineering profession must cope with problems and creations involving more massive elements than those experienced in any other engineering field. The civil engineer must be capable of meeting such problems as the design of buildings, highways, airports, and aircraft fabrications. The civil engineering course is therefore set up to give a broad education in the basic fundamentals of science and engineering which are so necessary for practice in the profession. Tension, compression, and shear. A truss is born. 12 Fields such as structural, sanitary, construction, and hydraulic engineer- ing are specializations of basic civil engineering and show the tremendous opportunities for the men of this profession in public and private works. 13 Electrical Engineering An insulator for every purpose. Electrical engineering is the youngest of the basic engineering fields. However its applications were realized so readily and exploited so eagerly that no other field has grown with such tremendous strides. If in doubt, consult the Dean. Because of the manifold applications of this field, a knowledge of electricity is essential to all fields of engineering. For this reason all students at Rose are required to take a course in the fundamental phenomena of electricity and its engineering applications. 14 Meters, meters, everywhere, but each with a definite place. The electrical engineering course at Rose is regulated to give the student an understanding of the basic principles and elements underlying the main fields of power, communication, and illumination, which are so important in everyday life. 15 Horsepower, torque, speed, and clouds of exhaust . . . . The Studebaker engine. The place of the modern mechanical engineer is apparent in this age of machines. With increasing demands for the transformation of the potential of our natural resources into kinetic energy and consequently into work, the demand for men of applied knowledge in this field is great. The mechanical engineering course is therefore designed to give the fundamental background of mathematics and science required in the analysis and solution of technical problems. 16 Mechanical Engineering The Clerk “one-lunger” .. . ancestor of modern gas engines and a tutor of Li basic principles. “All rounds and fillets 1 4 inch unless otherwise specified ...” Drawing—the engineering code of communication. The student of mechanical engineering is also prompted to develop his ingenuity through applied problems in industrial production, power producing and utilizing machines, and the mechanisms by which energy transformations and work may be accomplished. 17 After-class assistance—an invaluable feature of the small Rose class. The way of the engineer is fast approaching a position de- manding knowledge and adeptness in all fields. The era of the “technician-engineer” narrows to a close as increasing emphasis is placed upon the academic curricula of science and the liberal arts. Comprehensive study of the natural laws is achieved through courses in physics and general chemistry, including elements of mechanics, sound, light, heat, and the physical and chemical characteristics of the earth’s elements. Academics wee n83 Mathematics treats the modes of te eee) ed ae Se genie analysis in the consideration of quantity and the laws and relation- ships governing numbers. The laws of acceleration and gravitation ... an experiment with the conical pendulum. 19 20 Liberal Arts Current methods of communica- tion are taught the student of engineering to help him organize his thought and to develop his ability to express his ideas and plans. The humanities, including civiliza- tion, economics, and psychology, deal with an appreciation of the history, problems, and behavior of mankind, and prepare the student to step into his all-important position in society. Shop Practice and Training Familiarization with the tools and technical terms of modern industry are presented to the student engineer in preparation for his place as the versatile link between those men who manage men, money, and materials and those men who use the machinery of production directly in creating goods. 21 Elements of basic military science and tactics are taught to all freshmen and sophomores, and advanced training is offered to those qualified upperclassmen who desire military preparedness and a commission in the Reserve Officer’s Corps of the United States Army Engineers. Military Follower arms, stacking swivels, and never enough linseed oil. Science Principles and practices of Army operations are taught in classroom theory and in practice at a six-week summer camp for students enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. oe 7 ce em SS Dr. Ford L.

However, in some of the games the Engineers were greatly out-manned since the opposing teams were able for the most part to alternate two complete teams on the field against the stalwart Engineer eleven. Nevertheless, the team exhibited a finesse at staging a thrill packed game and played with a fierce never-say-die attitude. The team this year was relatively young, being comprised mainly of freshmen and sopho- mores, and the experience gained this season will be of great importance next year. With the abolition of the two-platoon system and the high percent of returning players an even better season is anticipated next year. basketball 1952-1953 England, Co-Captain Badger, Green, Snape, Matthews, Co-Captain Zorman ...

Amassing a total of 95 points (highest in Rose history) in its final game, Rose gave a preview of things to come. With ten returning lettermen as a nucleus, the Engineers should be able to hold their own in the newly formed Missouri Valley Conference. In compiling a 15-4 record, sur- passed only by the 1941-42 quintet, Rose employed a running attack characteristic of Indiana basketball. The Rose thinlies began practice early in February in the Rose field- house. Coach Phil Brown saw a lot of potentially good trackmen in the freshmen who were out. Returning lettermen from the preceding year were Badger in the field events, Bur- gett in the middle distances, Gru- baugh in the middle distances, Jones in the dashes, Kowal in the hurdles, McGlone in the high jump, and Mogle in the dashes and field events. In its first two meets Rose was beaten badly by both DePauw and Wabash. Running against stiff com- petition gave Rose some of the ex- perience it needed.

This was partially off-set, however, by several promising ‘rookies’ from the fresh- man class. The first game of the season, against Franklin, saw the Engineers go down to defeat by a 60 score of 14 to 8. The inability of the team to hit with men on base combined with six errors resulted in the loss. In their second game the Polymen showed a lot of improvement, but a five run out- burst with two out in the ninth inning gave Greenville a 12 to 8 victory. Rose’s first win of the season came at Huntington College where the Engineers de- feated their hosts by a score of 3 to 2 in a well played ball game. Roy England went all the way on the mound for Rose giving up only five hits. A sparkling defensive play by Larry Samuels, Rose right fielder, helped England out of a tight spot in the seventh inning. 63 CLASSES BADGER, D. HARRY BANNISTER, JOHN A. BISCHOPINK, VERNON L.

Alpha Tau Omega This year, as in every other year of Gamma Gamma Chapter’s sixty-year history at Rose, the men of A.T.O. have taken a leading role both scholastically and in the extra- curricular activities of the school. Among the men who have distinguished them- selves in extra-curricular activities were: six members of Tau Beta Pi, seven members of Blue Key, and two men who were listed in “Who’s Who in American Colleges and President ........

They also joined the Sigma Nus in sponsoring the V.M.I. dance, a dance to honor the founding place of both Fraternities. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Fonda Jo Stewart, was nominated and escorted by Brother Gail Mathis. The chapter was also deeply saddened at Homecoming time by the untimely death of brother Leo Webb. At Christmas, the chapter gave a party for the children of the County Children’s Home. All the chapter found the true Christmas spirit in showing the children a really fine time. The final event on the social calendar was the Inter-Fraternity dance, at which the Inter- Fraternity Sing was held. This dance is al- ways one of the finest of the year and this year was no exception. After the highly successful year just past under the leadership of Chris Flesor, our retiring Worthy Master, the chapter is looking forward to even bigger things next year under our newly initiated Worthy Master, Bob Miller.

The social year was touched off by a very successful Homecoming. The unique Home- coming decoration, which portrayed the Spartans of Aurora being transformed into nuts and bolts by the football machine of Rose Tech, won first place. The various house parties at Homecoming were also a huge suc- cess. After Homecoming the social calendar included numerous jam sessions and picnics, and reached its zenith at the annual Holly Ball on December 13. As usual the men of Lambda Chi Alpha were well represented in extra-curricular activi- ties. Roy England and Jack Farell showed out- standing scholastic ability by being tapped 88 for Tau Beta Pi. Brother England and Farell, along with Ron Smith, also excelled in service to the school, and were chosen for Blue Key. Don Snape, Wayne Mason, and Roy England were awarded honor keys. In the field of athletics, Bud Teague, Larry Samuels, Bill Crenshaw, Bob Young, Harv Greene, and Jim Jewell were active on the gridiron. Don Snape, Roy England, and Dick Gordon ex- celled on the hardwood. “Speed” Ritchie was a lone representative on the track squad, while Roy England and Larry Samuels tossed the Runyan, Hackett, Gaither, Snape, Samuels .. .

Senior Glen Rout served as president of Blue Key, and was also chosen Outstanding Man of Theta Kappa Zeta. Lambda Chi Alpha was extremely fortunate in again acquiring a large pledge class. These new members show great promise, and are expected to lead the way to a bigger and better Lambda Chi Alpha. Sigma Nu Closing the school year with an active and pledge chapter membership of sixty-two, Sigma Nu was prominent in every phase of extra-curricular activities, scholarship, and fraternity life. Honors bestowed upon brothers this year were: Green, Voelker, and Grubaugh—Blue Key; North—Tau Beta Pi; Badger—Senior Class President; Green—President of R-Man’s Association; Ray—KEditor-in-chief of the Modulus; Dedert—President of the Camera Club; Grubaugh—President of A.

Highlight of the year was the acquisition of a new house at Center and Park Streets. The move was a much-needed one, and was celebrated by a tremendous open-house and a faculty-neighbor tea. House parties, picnics, b and b parties, the V. M. I. Dance, the Star- light Dance, and interfraternity contests and the I. F. Dance did much to lend memories to a full school year. 4 , Bagce oe I Ge ae es ee Rader, Sovereign, Ennis, York, Wence, Mook, Kawano .. .

Perhaps the biggest affair was the “Winter For- mal” along with the subsequent house party. The annual Glenn Home orphan’s party also went over well the next day with Rudy York as Santa Claus. In the fall, a Theta Xi-Saint Mary’s-of-the- Woods field hockey game again came out a tie with both sides receiving trophies. Home- coming, with a banquet at the Deming, and a stag at the house was enjoyed by all, including the many alumni present. In the spring, several Sunday picnics at local state parks gave the outdoors men a chance to show off. Perhaps the biggest event of the year was the Pledge dance, “The Bowery Ball,” which was really a bang-up time. Kappa’s extra-curricular activities prove that there is time for more than studies. R-Men’s Association boasted twelve Theta Xi’s with Zorman and Rader as president and vice-president. Kawano and Verdeyen wore Blue Keys this year, and York, Steinhauser, Ulbrich, and Ver- deyen achieved the eminence of Tau Beta Pi. Technic Staff included Sawyers and Jones. Kappa also has active members in the Camera, Rifle, and Glee Clubs and also the various professional societies. Besides these many extra-curricular activities, many Theta Xi’s found time for sports. Football found Mook cap- taining the squad which included Rader, Sovereign, Ulbrich, Verdeyen, Scharpen- berg, Masuoka, and Stoker. Harry Zor- man was co-captain of the successful basketball team which also included Buscher and Steinhauser. The baseball team included Lai and captain George Wence. The various intramural and inter-fraternity sports programs were also competed in vigorously this year with much en- joyment for all involved. All in all, Kappa chapter has had a busy year. P, E.
