He started as helper in the old power house in that year. In 1908 he was appointed University Electrician. In 1911 he left Columbia and continued in absence until the year of 1920, at which time he was appointed Chief Electrician of the University, the position which he now holds. Mr. Fox is related to the Engineering school, not as professor to student, but as engineer to engineer. He has an understanding of students in the Engieering school, aud he never fails to lend support where it is needed. He has always been ready to lend wire and light bulbs for our electrical displays, and has been very considerate I with us concerning lost artiees.

it M im :UWM D E. KATIIRYN WYANT Miss Kathryn Wyant was graduated from. the University of Missouri in 1921 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The following fall she took up her duties as an instructor in the mathematics department of the University. She did work for university credit along with her teaching that year, and was graduated with the degree of Master of Arts in the spring of 1922.A ' In the short time that Miss VVyant has been connected with the University, she has, by her marked ability, gained honor in more than one way. She is a charter member of Pi Delta Nu, a fraternity for women in chemistry. She is also a member of, and an enthusiastic worker in, Pi Mu Epsilon, honorary mathematical fraternity, and. further, she is a member of the honorary scientific fraternity, Sigma Xi. She has shown a great interest in our younger engineers, by her unceasing toil in preparing them for their future work. She has always shown a kindly and co- operative spirit toward the Engineering school as a whole, and especially has she shown great interest in our annual celebration on St. Patrick's Day. -It has been, therefore, the pleasure and privilege of this engineering school to confer upon Miss: E. Kathryn VVynnt, the Honorary Degree of St. Patrick, and to heartily welcome her as a true and loyal Lady of our Order. Page iffy I illf - ff f ff-f - n nunllf' I I I I I i I .

'. THE SHAMROCK - ENGINEERS IN ATHLETICS The Engineering School has not been very well represented in Varsity Athletics at the University of Missouri during the past few years. Just why this condition exists is a question to a great many of our number. There are two main reasons why we are not better represented: first, the Engi- neer is the type of student that is depending upon the knowledge acquired in school for the foundation of the profession which he intends to practice in the futureg second, the average Engineering student is usually lacking the required funds neces- sary to live a life of leisure while attending college. Regardless of these conditions there are a few students who feel that they can give! some of their time to athletics. ' The major sports at present are: Football, Basketball, Wrestling, Track, and Baseball. Cross-country is as yet a minor sport, but its popularity is growing rapidly at the Tiger institution. The Engineering school was represented on each of the major teams with the exception of the basketball squad, and in cross-country the Engineers showed their prowess by placing three members on the varisty team. FOOTBALL S-am Graham represented us on the football squad again this year, and he dis- played his usual style of fight at the old position of fullback. He weighed 185 pounds, and when his turn came to carry the ball, ground was usually gained. ' The following men showed their ability on the 1923 Freshman squad: H. B. ADAMS-guard or tackle F.
