QUARTERDECK, the University ' s oldest honorary technical so- ciety, has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1905 under the name Indoor Yacht Club. In 1908 it was reorganized and its name changed to Quarterdeck, and has since functioned under the sponsorship of the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. The object of the society is to further the interest of students of naval architecture in their field by providing opportunities to hear prominent men in the field, to visit ship and boat yards, to write and discuss technical articles themselves, to obtain infor- mation over and above the scope of the regular curriculum.

Organic Chemistry Lab., Chem. Bldg. Addition Foundry Lab., East Engine SCHOOL Dean Crawford of the Engineering College became an engineer in 1912. Since then he has been dean of the engineering colleges at the University of Idaho, the University of Kansas, and since 1940, at Michigan. He also has been with the Army during World War One. At present, important school projects keep him a busy man, though they give way in the summer time to his favorite sport, trout fishing. Michigan ' s College of Engineering began as a course in the physics depart- ment here in 1847. When DeVolson Wood began the first real engineering instruction. In 1 895 the College of Engineering was established as an independ- ent department, thus becoming the oldest public-supported institution of its kind. The technical development of industry created a growing demand for engineers, and Michigan has responded. Combining theory and practical knowledge through an able faculty, it has turned out some of the best-trained engineers in the country. The size of the College has increased accordingly with the growing importance of engineering until it is now one of the largest units of the University. Its many professional and honorary organizations spread the influence of the college over a large part of the campus. Electron Microscope, Physics Dept.

The Institute of The Aeronautical Sciences was organized to promote the application of science in the development of aircraft. By grading members according to their qualifications, recognition is given to outstanding professional work and an incentive is provided younger members for the investigation of new aeronau- tical problems. The presentation and discussion of technical papers at Institute meetings afford members opportunities to hear and meet the leaders in specialized fields of the aeronautical sciences. By including in its membership the leading aeronautical specialists in other countries, an interchange of international aeronautical scientific progress is made possible. The members of the Institute believe that the future development of aircraft depends upon scientific research and engineering experiment applied to design. By including in the scope of the Institute ' s activities the allied sciences of meteorology, radio, metallurgy, physics, chemistry, etc., a broad base is provided for aeronautical progress. ..-; ' 0 A.

The Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers gives students an opportunity to become acquainted with the parent society. Many activities similar to those offered by the parent society are available to student members. The semi-weekly meetings feature outstanding speakers from the various phases of civil engineering. The topics discussed dur- ing the past year ranged from Municipal Engineering to Archi- tectural Concrete. Besides the regular meetings the chapter sponsors inspection trips with the help and cooperation of the Civil Engineering Department. In the spring semester the chapter takes part in the district meeting of student chapters. This year the district meeting was held at the Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland. The meeting featured field trips and the presentation of student papers. The Student Chapter has the same relation to the student engineer that the parent society has in relation to the practicing engineer.
