Just as all engineering subjects are essential and interesting to those really interested in their chosen vocation so can Electrical Engineering be. We sometimes think we have completely exhausted the things which can be accomplished with Electricity when suddenly something entirely new turns up. It is the business of the Electrical Engineer to become well acquainted with the fundamentals of Electricity then put his ideas to work in the form of appli¬ cations and help make this world a better place in which to live.

The engineer has a great responsibility. A good engineer should have an upright character, should be accurate, truthful, sober and discrete. He must have command of his temper, have firmness and courage that will repel solicitation and attempts at intimidations. He must be energetic, and take an interest and have experience in his work. His dealing with men must be fair and impartial as a judge on a bench. He must be of inflexible integrity, and should not go ahead, until he knows he is right. The engineer who combines these qualities is beyond price, and his value can not be estimated by dollars. T wenty-two

Department of Radio Engineering William Pfeifer, E.E., M.S., Head of Department Kenneth Steele, B.S Leland Ax, B.S. in R.E The Radio Engineer must be able to apply the laws and principles of electri¬ city, sound, light, heat, and mechanics to the design of radio apparatus. Eie must know how to measure minute intangible quantities, such as the measurement of time in terms of a millionth or a ten-millionth of a second and he must interpret and apply his result in such manner that he may produce and control practical communication equipment.
