Character is the Measure ct Prcfiress The value of character is the standard of human progress. The individual, the community, the nation, tells its standing, its advance- ment, its worth, its true wealth and glory by its estimate of character. Wherever character is made a secondary object sensuality and crime prevail. He who enters upon any study, pursuit, amusement, pleasure, habit, or course of life without first considering its effect upon his character is not a trustworthy or honest man. Just in proportion as a man prizes his character so is he. This is the true standard which finally gauges all his acts. The great hope and pillar of society is individual character. George G. Niehous, Chairman of Board of Dircc ors. Seventeen

Cppcrtunity Awaits These Cualif ied As soon as college days are over, the graduate must begin to look for a suitable position. It will be very easy to become discouraged, especially after being told a number of times that his services are not required. It is well to know that in every organization there is some person who serves as employment manager whose duty it is to interview prospective employees. Many times this man must talk to hundreds of applicants before a person can be found who possesses the necessary qualifications. Industrial organizations are just as interested in finding capable employees as the individual is in locating a remunerative posi- tion. And after a young person is located he must ever be on the alert for something better. During the past few years facilities for manufac- turing have been improved and methods of distribution have been changed, all for the purpose of lowering costs to the ultimate consumer. New industries are being started and basic changes are continually being made in the older ones. Opportunities are sure to appear to the indi- vidual who interests himself in these newer and better ways of doing things. Raymon T. Roush, Secretary-Treasurer. Sixteen

Department ef Civil Enaineering GEORGE G. NIEHOUS, C.E., M.S., HcaJ of Drlnn iiirn • Verne Jones, A.B., A.M. J. Glen Radcliflf, B.S. in C.E. Cecil Hauber, B.S. in C.E. Civil engineering is divided into many branches. A person prac- ticing in any one of these fields may be classified as a Civil Engineer. These divisions have been brought about through the increasing require- ments placed on the profession. The habit of thought developed by the Civil Engineer, often fits him admirably for executive and administrative work. The biographies of great men reveal that many of them were Civil Engineers. The exact- ness of reasoning instilled in the mind of the student is such that he becomes a thinker and a builder who can build an organization as well as a structure. Eightc
