Mr. Newton was born on the 28th of April, 1870, in Watervliet, Michigan. His early education was obtained in his home schools, a small part of his time was spent at the Ann Arbor High School. Later on he attended the Uni- versity of Michigan, where in 1896 he received the Bachelor of Science de- gree in mechanical engineering. Before attending the university, he spent three years in the machine shops at Rochester e might have practical in order that h knowledge. Then from 1896 to 1898 he was with the National Supply Company Nine at Toledo, Ohio. Then for a few years he was chief draftsman and designer for several of the large Eastern steel firms. And in 1911, he accepted a position as mechanical engineer with the Carnegie Steel Works, here until 1913 he worked. Then he came to this university and since then he has been one of the teachers of mechanical drawing and machine design. A All of the engineers joyously wel- come him into their order, for they all know that he has always been in favor of their celebration, and has assisted in many ways to make that celebration a success. Such a man as this will make a most valued Knight, and we will al- ways remember him who received the degree March 17, 1916.
