III 1- ....Tl-.- ACTIVITIES The engineering method is of such recognized merit that .it is not unusual to find the name appropriated in fields which have little to do with engineering. -In the mind of the public it is synonymous with careful analysis, wise planning, efficient organization, and economical production. The primary aim of engineering educa- tion is to develop such habits of procedure. The sublject matter .in the courses con- stitutes the more or less useful tools of the profession, but these will be of little value unless we establish as a Iixed habit the engineering approach to problems. The engineer does not rely upon experimental data alone. He examines his problems in order to determine the requirements and analyzes the situation to dis- cover the controlling factors, conducts experiments, if necessary, to verify this analysis or evaluate these factors, formulates a plan of procedure, and organizes his resources in such a way as to perform the task with the least expenditure of energy. If the engineering student fails to acquire this habitual method of ap- proach to problems, he will never rise above a minor position in the p1'ofession. AFTER GRADUATION, WHAT? PROFESSOR J. R. LORAH The man obtaining a professional training at this time will soon be forced into competition with many others having a similar or even broader and better training. T I I . . . . . . o meet suci competition he must continue his process of learning until such time as he retires from active work. Only a portion of his increase in knowledge can be obtained during working hours, however, and his choice of leisure time activities after graduation will depend on the Held of work entered. The purely technical aspects may still attract him, and while scientific knowledge and the art of applying such knowledge to the improvement of our material wants has progressed very rapidly in the last quarter century, the developments in the next quarter centu1'y will undoubtedly eclipse that of the preceding period. The highly trained man who has shown his ability i-n applying scientific principles will continue to lead in such work. Those oun ry as o ier important problems which will demand the services of trained men-the problems of adjustment between men and machines, the problems of distribution of materials and products, the problem of educating our people and business leaders as to the possibilities and limits of ' -' ' i i engineering applications and of the wider range of serv- 1065 I I ' ' ' ' g are prepared to offer. These problems will necessitate close contact between the engineer and the general public and all m 1 i 1 en wio expect to come in contact with people of non- technical training must be able to unde t d ' . rs an their viewpoint and to present tech- nical facts and solutions of technical problems in such a manner that these people will not onl f d - - I 5 UU Clstand, but appreciate them.

As time passes he will thus gradually attain the broad training and viewpoint which is so essential in making later life a success. whose interests lie outside of this field realize that this c t h tl w uc i men with engineering trainin my III I 11 11 1111 11 111 I 1 1111111 11111 1 111111 I 1 I ............. .... . . ... ...... .... . . ..... ..... .. .

The Engineers played and outplayed a lawyer team composed of the yearls outstanding freshmen, on December 12, 1932, only to lose 12-O. One lawyer actually played part of the game. The Engineers completely outclassed the opponents, driving through their line, time after time, for long gains, and always stopping their attack quickly. But luck stepped in and allowed the opponents to intercept two of our passes and run for a touchdown each time. The Engineers may well be proud of their team in spite of the defeat, because every man played with all his might and deserved to win. Between halves the lawyer hand came on the field and attempted to form a large LH but was forced to retire to the side lines under a heavy barrage of lemons and eggs. One missel, an over-ripe egg, struck in the bell of the cornet and silenced it for the remainder of the afternoon. The only other casualty reported was that another henfruit struck the bass horn, they immediately called time out while they mixed and drank an eggnog. The so-called lawyer team retired to the west end of the field at the half and was served tea?P???????'? Perhaps next year victory will come to the deserving team and we will get our gaboon back again. ff' f 1 sb ' I 9 Sl-IAMROCK 3 2 .
