DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICITY Another of the many courses of appHed engineer- ing fundamentals was the course in Electricity. We learned to tell the difference between a motor and a generator. Then we had an opportunity to find out how a radio works. Surprising enough it takes a lot more than just the simple turning of a knob. We spent many long hours in the laboratory trying to keep from causing shorts and burning out ammeters and wattmeters. We finished the course with more Nuclear Physics. We found out how the various atomic reactors work and how feasible they would be for doing various kinds of work.

With the beginning of Cow year we found that everything that we had been told about the hard academics was true. We were at last beginning to see some reason for learning all of the math and physics and chemistry. We were becoming familiar with the various machines that are common to this day and age. We worked with air compressors and automobile engines in the Fluids laboratory and found out what made them work. In solids we learned more fundamentals that would be put to practical work in our design problems of First Class year. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICS Front Row: Capt EG Braun Jr, Major RE McAdoo, Lt Col RT Batson, Col ER Heiberg, Lt Col VH Ellis, Major RC Sellers, Capt FC Badger. 2nd Row: Capt TB Cormack, Major AK Keller, Major AE Weston, 1st Lt RE Uhrig, Capt CB Humphreys, Capt MD Coffin, Capt S White Jr. 3rd Row: 1st Lt EM Markham, III, Major VK Sanders, Capt EC Whitehead Jr, 1st Lt EC Peter, Capt FW Draper, Capt JC McWhorter, Capt AH Quanbeck. 27

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES During our studies of History and Geography we learned to appreciate the forces that act on man in the various forms of his environment. In the course of Government we learned how our Government operates and also how our form of government com- pares with those of the larger countries of Europe. During our studies of Economics and International Relations we learned how a country can prevent an inflation or depression and how our country formu- lates trade and foreign policy. AH of these things go together to make each of us ready to offer solu- tions to the problems that are confronting our gen- eration.
