I I iw :y , V r , I' 4 , On Tuesday, September 20, 1927, the Engineers celebrated the thirty-fifth an- X Q' niversary of the wedding of our best beloved instructor, Daddy Defoe. i N i Daddy is more than an instructor in mechanicsg he is friend, sympathizer, 'Il l and counselor to every student in the university, but those in the Engineering School M N regard him as their particular property and they guard thc honor jealously. He is ig! has been teaching mechanics to the Engineers for so long that he has become one i: i of their dearest traditions, and in that time he has so enshrined himself in the hearts of his students that they have all striven, whether consciously or uncon- 1 sciously, to emulate the fine example he has set for us in fellowship and character. 1 X The afternoon of his anniversary about seventy-five Engineers assembled at the i l Engineering Building and marched from there to his home to extend their best N wishes. It was entirely a surprise to Professor and Mrs. Defoe and they had no - f fidea of the intentions of the delegation until Earl Schooley, president of the 1 Engineers' Club, presented them with a flowery speech and a beautiful silver I X coffee service. The speech of Schooley's meant nothing, but in the gift the Engi- ig 41 neers tried to convey to Professor and Mrs. Defoe' their happiness on the occasion, 'M and their best wishes for many more anniversaries. il lr I 1. 4 ll 1 I ' 4 v U i The question of the hour, what is it? xl rl l 1 il is w A il 1 ii Page 48 , le it QP 'F md the i i we Ea ,E or or Q K6IQ,gLq,r,, i 'ages' '71, wif Tak f :ff,a,:TWW ' f' V- ,Ma -:gawk
