The death of President Morton in May 1902 made necessary the choice of a new executive. By this time the old Stone Mill had doubled in size and capa- bilities. The Faculty had increased from eight to twenty members, and the Student Body from twenty-one to two hundred and ninety. The Alumni, numbering more than a thousand, cherished the name of Stevens Tech and every one of them was interested in the choice of a capable leader for his Alma Mater. Dr. Alexander Crombie Humphreys, Class of '81, was agreed upon as the ideal man for the position. Since graduation, Dr. Humphreys had reached heights of achievement in engineering, finding time also for service as a Trustee of the College and as President of the Alumni. So, at a great sacrifice to personal interests, Dr. Humphreys accepted the THE IL1INlKg r executive oflice. He was inaugurated February, 1903, in the rooms on the top Hoor of the Carnegie Laboratory, now used for Junior-Senior computation rooms. as 4: ar 1 Passing the next twenty years in one stride,it is hard to recognize the College, so rapidly has it grown. The one original building on Fifth Street has become a nucleus for a number of impressive structures, gifts of Alumni and friends. The College has spread up to Castle Point, and besides having two large athletic fields and a modern gymnasium, has acquired the ancestral home of the Stevens family, Castle Stevens. This serves as a dormitory, and the artistically-constructed main Hoot is used as a ballroom for the College social events. During the World War, Stevens Tech, in conjunction with the United States Navy, established a service school of steam engineering in the Stevens laboratories and graduated one thousand four hundred and sixty-five men to be commissioned as ensigns for service in the Navy. The two buildings constructed by the Navy were purchased, and are now occupied by the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Stevens Library. The Student Body, in 1907, adopted the Honor System. Under this system, each student is placed upon his honor in any work he may do, and any breach of trust is tried before the Student Honor Board. Stevens Tech has been a leader among engineering colleges in carrying out this project. In 1908, the present system of student self-government was initiated, and was again extended in 1913 by the creation of a Student Council. These reforms in school government place the responsibility of the student activities upon the students themselves, and thus reduce a sense of boss control which would be felt with complete Faculty govern- ment. The enrollment at Stevens Tech is now thirty times as great as it was when the College opened and the land area has increased to twenty acres Stevens Tech stands forth as a College of opportunity where the ideal of the student is to become an engineer and a good one, worthy of his Alma Mater. Though the work is hard and the aim very definite, there is an atmosphere of College life which is not lost upon the students, and activities are supported as heartily as in those colleges where a good time is the biggest course in the curriculum. The students and Alumni are proud to say that Stevens Tech was the first College of mechanical engineering in the United States and the only one which has con- tinuously maintained a single broad course. With New York as its campus, industrial New Jersey for its laboratories, a corps of instructors second to none in ability and a Student Body of men whose definite and far reaching aim is to be the world s best engineers, Stevens Tech is a College to be proud of and one fit to occupy the respected position that our Alma Mater holds in the engineering world CC J! , .
