The 1932 Celebration On March 17, 1902, the Engineers at the University of Missouri first declared to the World that St. Patrick was the Patron Saint of all engineers and set out to honor his day in a fitting manner. Thirty years have passed since the beginning of this annual Engineers' Week. The idea has spread to many of the engineering colleges in America and is at present an established custom in many of these schools. The oiiicial observance of the 30th anniversary of St. Pat's Week began on Thursday night, March 17, with a barbecue for all engineering students, faculty members, and alumni. Friday morning an-d afternoon was devoted to lectures delivered by prominent engineers in every field. At noon on Friday a luncheon, honoring Daddy Defoe, was given at the Tiger Hotel. Friday afternoon at four o'clock St. Patrick arrived on his handcar and was escorted by a parade to the Engineering Building, where he oflicially greeted the engineers. At seven o'clock Friday evening, St. Patrick appeared and conferred the degree of Knighthood upon those who had served him loyally for four years, immediately after the knighting ceremonies the laboratories were opened to the public. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hurty was hostess at a Green ,Tea held in the library for all students, faculty, and alumni. At eight-thirty the same evening, the St. Pat's Ball, which climaxed the celebration, took place. During the ball the Queen Was presented and crowned by the St. Patrick, the long-waited-for Shamrock was distributed toward the end of the ball.
