UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH £ t LIBRARY • ••• • •. .• . Editor..........................Viola Boydjieff Business Manager.................Roger H. NN m i Faculty Adrisors............. gnks L. STARRETT Wendell S. Gullion Theodore W. Biddle [1] 1 T±£,0 S Os C p. Z. Foreword These pages are a pictorial and written account of life at the University of Pittsburgh in 1943-44, of its student body and faculty affected by total war. The days of five civilian men to every girl are gone. (lone, too, are all-male Cap and (iown shows; sauev Pitt Panthers; jammed elevator rides to high-altitude classes; big-time student politics; Spring Festival float parades; formats and big-name bands. In their place are first and ground floor classes; hikes to State. Thaw, and Alumni Halls; professors with heavy civilian and military schedules; Air Corps and AST’s; Pitt Sewn and Owl offices sharing I H-ker Room 3; smells of chow; busy barber shops; forty eyes turned left and an accompanying “hrr-ruff ; and soldiers in single file walking off “gigs” along Heinz Chapel Walk. Rut to us who remain campus life is a lot more. It is a spirit of determiniation to keep alive the ideals of the University: friendly fireside chats, informal conferences with professors, hours of browsing in the libraries or listening to symphonies in the music room, and participation in University activities. It is also a spirit of determination to prepare ourselves mentally and physically to fight for the treasured rights to freedom and happiness. As you page through this book, casually or carefully, you will find us firm, determined, proud, and eager. We are Pitt—at war.

'Flic old l ir l seems lately to have grown extra wise, wise in paticnee and goodwill. He has Itcttcr manners than eommon owls. He is good to have around.” Till] CHANCELLOR THE OWL is a student record of life at the University—of fun. the joy to Ik- alive, and the high seriousness of moving toward significant maturity. It is the meaning the University has, individually, for each student—a meaning which is in beautiful buildings, the grass and trees of the campus, the character of those about you, teachers and fellow students, and the things you do day after day. It is your growing in skill to be a doctor or a business man or an artist or a good citizen, and your capacity for thinking clearly about material things and the non material. It is a record of your growing toward integrity and kindness, toward worthy doing and quiet wisdom. “Let me congratulate you upon tin- recording of these things.” John (I. Bowman. [15] DR. RUFUS H. FITZGERALD Soft-spoken, sincere, and conscientious, Vice-Chancellor Fitzgerald is among the busiest administration officers in the University. So few students realize how much Dr. Fitzgerald does. As head of the Hoard of Deans, he is now working out plans for war training here at Hitt. He regulates new teaching devices, plans for scholarships to worthy students in his policy of equal opportunity for education, supervises recreation and housing of students, acquires new staff members and computes the relative accomplishments of departments. Above all. Dr. Fitzgerald’s chief concern is the student. To him come the undergraduate leaders with their problems in publications, activities and organizations. Now he is taking out out-moded courses and installing up-to-the-minute ones, and has already map] cd out a post-war program for returning veterans. I)r. Fitzgerald’s job of keeping the work and activities of the University rolling ahead is a big one and only he could do it. DR. JOHN WEBER Probably the |htsou who is most familiar with Pitt, both from the student’s viewpoint and the faculty’s, is I)r. John Wel� er. see re tan.- of the University. A Pitt graduate. Dr. Weber has Ih ch a meml er of the faculty since 1910 when he accepted an instructor’s position. Since then, he has advanced to professor, head of the engineering department, and then to his present position as secretary. As supervising engineer, when Pitt was being enlarged, he helped erect the Cathedral of Learning. He traveled over Euro| c at that time to select the seventy foot high windows that have made Heinz Cha| cl world famous. Dr. Wel er numl ers among the few |H oplc who can say not only that he is a part of Pitt, but also that he helped to make Pitt what it is today. Hoard of Trustees George Hubbard Clapp................

President ali aim The purpose of tin General Alumni Association is “to promote the welfare and interests of the University of Pittsburgh and its Alumni, to foster close cooperation between the Alumni and the University, and to support and advance the cause of higher education.” The organization is composed of members of ten constituent associations. These ten organizations are Alumnae. Applied Social Sciences, Business Administration, College. Dentistry, Education and Graduate, Engineering and Mines, baw. Medical, and Pharmacy Alumni Associations! Alumni Council is the governing body of the Association and is composed of officers of the General Alumni Association, three representatives from each constituent association, two past presidents and two representatives of Pitt clubs. R. L. DIKUKKR. Secretary Because of the war, most of the activities of the General Alumni Association were curtailed this year. Since it was difficult to meet in person, it was made possible for alumni to convey their thoughts through printed words. Copies of “The Alumni Review , edited by Ruth lx e Dierker. who assembled news of activities of the University, were sent to various schools and to members iu civil and military life. Instead of the annual Homecoming Smoker, this year a Homecoming Rally and Luncheon was held in November at the Hotel Sehenley. Then in December, the Second Annual Children’s Christmas party was given in the Commons Room. The idea originated with the party given to entertain children of the faculty and alumni in the service. Other events of the year included a Dinner Bridge and a Charter Day Program. [18] I)R- J. H. LAWSON. II 1 V. President ASSOCIATION CHARLES F. BECK. JR.. Treasurer ( barter Day, February '27, was commemorated with a special Vesper service held in Hein , Chapel. The service was planned to pay tribute to alumni in the service of our armed forces. Pitt alumni, scattered now to the remotest parts of the earth, are proud of the progress our school has made since its beginning as a log schoolhousc of yesterday to the ever-growing I’niversity we have now.

Pitt this year is a school of marching feet, khaki, chow in lines, and air corps insignia, a university where women arc in the minority. Ping-pong game room, reception room, and lounges went the way of the army when the women's floor was taken over by the military department last year. Hut a staff, not easily daunted, made their new location on the first floor, home to the Pitt women. So we girls have a place to take our problems; helpful advisors to give us assistance, and worthwhile advice to In gained. In addition to Miss Hush’s stair of assistants. Miss Harriet (ilasser, Mrs. Marjorie Todd Simonds, Miss Elizabeth L. 'leal. Miss .lane Coltervahn, Mrs. Elizabeth Foster Sehoyer, and Miss Murclle Russell. Miss Adrienne Hill is a new Dean's assistant this year. Headed by Dean Helen Pool Rush, these women follow through the “Welcome” with friendliness, interest, and helpfulness in any way possible.

[22] Alt limit'll tlu amount of space occupied l .v the offices of the Dean of Men has diminished, then is still the friendly pat on the hack, the i crsonal conferences, and the “helpful hand that Dean Theodore Biddle and his staff personify. (■one are the eighth floor lounges, the men's Tuck Shop, the vast offices of the Publications. The Dean of Men's office, too, has been moved to the first floor, but with no lessening of its keynote, “Welcome' . Mr. William Daufcnhack. assistant to the Dean of Men. supervises all marshalling work. Miss Hetty Maloney. Miss Irene Thomas, and Mrs. Alice II. Dorfield arc the friendly secretaries who arc always ready to stop their work for a kindly greeting. May lie the space has diminished, hut the things that the Dean of Men's ()fli e stands for at Pitt have grown. [ 23 ] DEPARTMENT M. ELMER II. C. CARLSON T. M.

Every year since that precedent, an authoritative committee composed of faculty members and junior men and women have considered many students and selected those in whom these qualities were best exemplified. At Tap Day on May ;3. the names of the following twenty-four men and women chosen by the committee were revealed. Each has given service to the University far in excess of the average demand for time and cooperation. Each has established a record that may well be aimed at by underclassmen.

Emphasizing business conduct, the courses are planned so that the student may liecome acquainted with the cultural as well as the technical side of business activity. After the Biz Ad masters the history of the mores, the philosopy of Adam Smith, the ins and outs of corporation law. he is ready to enter the business world with some assurance of success. Heading the department is Dean Vincent W. Eanfear. who is well known and liked for his friendly attitude and Texan accent. Dean Eanfear was graduated from the School of Business Administration himself, and he is a welcome counsellor to the students now . . . for many a student’s problem is erased after a chat with him.

Crawford has seen that there are no disruptive changes in the wartime curriculum of the College-His interests reach into the classics, local history, biological research, and detective stories. His professions varied from teacher and zoologist to Dean of the College. Dean Crawford believes that young people should be well trained in carrying out their careers.

Pitt News i [57] school of f:oucatio Playing an important part in the curriculum of the I’nivcrsity and in training our teachers of tomorrow is the School of Kdueation headed by Dean S. 1 . Franklin. It has been a difficult year for both students and faculty due to the changes that have and are taking place in order to keep pace with the needs of the day. Though for the most part the department has continued along offering the same courses, it has added one new course . . . pre-aeronautics, which has proven itself extremely helpful to those boys who plan to enter the Air Corps. Dean Franklin, who is a firm believer in the American education ideals, has been a great help to these men and women who have pledged themselves to the teaching of others. SAMI HI. I .

HOLBROOK “Behind I lie brawn the brain” . . . and the Schools of Engineering and Mines function to train engineers to serve this district, according to Elmer A. Holbrook, dean for seventeen years. The school is divided into seven departments: Aeronautical. Chemical, Civil, Electrical. General, Industrial and Mechanical. In industrial engineering -the men and women, for there are women—turn toward chemical and electrical projects. At the beginning of the war, an influx of embryo engineers registered at the school, but at the present time, the enrollment is on a downward slope. 1’nder the quota system set up at Washington, only a limited number of students may be accepted each year. The expedited program now calls for four semesters a year . . . holidays are one day affairs . . . the students never know in the morning what their status will be at night . . . and so they work on to prepare to reconstruct normal living in the post-war world.

WELSH—Central Catholic t 59 j SCHOOL OF OFXTISTIIY The School of Dentistry has become an even more integral part of the University. The Dental students . . . now in army and navy garb . . . serve as an important' part of the social service demanded in any community though many of them now have to leave the University to serve in the armed forces. Through his extensive research and his personal effort. Dr. II. Edmund Fricsell, Dean of the school, has achieved national recognition for the excellence of the University’s dental school. Due to his tireless work of continually building up the dental library, it is acknowledged to possess one of the greatest collections of rare and early volumes in the field of dentistry. II. HI)MUNI) FIUKSKLL [70] Lower Dental Building [71] DENTISTRY TAY MALAKKKY One of our brightest stars on the athletic field is (’lair Malarkey, better know to students and faculty as Tay. Basketball is his game, and he not only played three years of varsity ball, but also coached the Dent School basketball team. In true “Rinkey-Dink” manner, Tay never played any one position permanently, but switched on every game if need be. Last fall, Tay went out for football for the first time. He showed up as one of the team’s best passing bets, until he was hurt in the (•real bakes game on October 2. As a result of his knee injury, Tay spent about two and a half months in St. Francis Hospital. He was forced to drop out of school—and, of course, he was missed on the basketball squad. A senior in Dental School, Tay was class president for four years. He was treasurer of Dental Student Council his sophomore year, and vice president his junior year. He is a pledge to Psi Omega, dental professional fraternity. After the war, Tay is planning to set up offices with his brother, also a dentist. Upper Dental Huiltlink' t«) SENIORS JACK ANDERSON . . .

COUNCIL • Cy Jackson Rol� ert Gale Dental Interfraternity Council mi lit meet in odd places, yet its purpose is an established one. Two representatives from each of the three dental fraternities make up the council, and part of their job is to regulate rushing for membership. Kaeli rushee, to be eligible to Alpha Omega, Psi Omega, or Delta Sigma Delta must have a passing average, one semester in dental school, and Ik approved by the dean of the school. Officers of the council are rotated to give each house a turn at the presidency every three years. This year's council whirled out with a dance and later hit Pitt sportlines hard with their basketball showings. Among the fraternities, the Friescll cup is the big stake and this year’s playoffs will decide which house is to keep it permanently. CY JACKSON, JR. Pres Scr. t 87 ] 1st row Sidney Silver.

In spite of wartime changes, the AO’s held their annual formal dinncr-dancc at tlie Hotel Webster Hall last September, when forty people dined and danced. Their house at S.� l.� Forlies Street is often the scene of clinics which tire given by various members of the faculty and alumni from Dental School. There are about twenty-five boys living in the house and the present membership of the fraternity totals seventy, with most of the fellows in school wearing the uniforms of the Army or Navy. The AO’s arc active in Dental School sports, and they now hold two of three legs which are necessary to win the II. E. Friesell Athletic Cup. [88] IRVIN M. FRANKLIN [89] ALPHA 031 EGA 1 1 row R.

Thirty six members of Delta Sigma Delta, professional dental fraternity meet twiee a month in their chapter house at 241 Darragh Street under their colors of turquoise and garnet. Sigma chapter at Pitt shares the same fraternal secrets as their brothers in Kngland, France, and Australia do. Their aim is “to keep high the standards of dent istry by inculcating the minds of dental students and practicioners a spirit of fraternal co-operation toward scientific, ethical, and profession progress.” The fraternity publication, Desmos, uses up the spare time of the boys when they are not tackling intcr-fraternitv dental athletics or parties at the chapter house. Chapter deputy is Dr. DeWitt Hall who keeps things right-side up. t DO J lxl row ('. Metz, II. Zellers. F. Dunning, J. I.uzadre. V. Hurt nun. C. Jackson. C. D-wis. I). Snow, W. Berger. H. dale, II.

Their faithful housemother must satisfy the hunger calls of a full dining room three times a day.

Maybe that special dinner dance was the drawing card that filled their pledge membership to its quota during the March rushing season. The members, in uniform or out, meet once a month to combine business and professional discussions. Their social speed is tuned to their professional background. Guest speakers, often from the alumni chapter, are frequent visitors and movies are favorite instruction. (One would almost think the boys were reluctant to lay aside the sca| cl and pill Ih for a few hours.) Committee members of the War Bond Drive will point out that the Phi Rho Sigs are near the top of the list for bond purchases not only bv individuals, but by the treasurer in the fraternity’s name.

Greater than ever is the demand for nurse. and as the cry went out for more and more, enrollment of pre-nursing students showed an upward swing. Making available all its resources to aid the school in their program, the University has adjusted itself to help train the hundreds of women needed in this war effort. Many of the girls in the School of Nursing already have enlisted in the Nurses Cadet Corp. At Magee Hall, where the girls receive their final training, war lias meant hard work to the already ambitious group. Duty on the floor has more than adequately supplemented classroom work. With the various trust funds increasing daily that make possible the granting of scholarships to young women who want to enter this field, the School of Nursing has gained a permanent prominence in the University life.

I .conanl O’Connell, the School of Pharmacy has rounded up another year of accomplishments. A leader in many outstanding pharmaceutical organizations and a former president of Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association, Dr. O’Connell, through his own unselfish service to the community and his intense devotion to his chosen profession inspires the men under him. Realizing the example put before them by their dean, and their importance to the general war effort, the pharmaceutical students have really clamped down with increased studying. To increase their knowledge by actual practice, many of the boys work as assistants to pharmacists in various drug stores throughout the community. In spite of the accelerated program and the khaki” rules the students of the school have surpassed their records of former years. DR. C.

Members of the Research Bureau staff coordinating Retail Training’s many activities are Bishop Brown, director: Ruth Branigan. assistant professor in advertising: Elizabeth Sayre, librarian; Fred A. Egmorc, Jr., associate professor in merchandising; Walter Sobotka, instructor in applied arts; Mildred Morcn, office manager; Nancy L. Larson, instructor in salesmanship and supervisor of service shopping; Albert B. Smith, Jr., assistant professor in retailing; and Lillian Friedman, assistant professor in personnel administration. The Retail Bureau was founded in another war year, -1918. Pittsburgh was hitting its stride in wartime production, and the downtown stores were crowded as they arc now. Busy executives realize now, as they did then, the need for young people especially trained for store careers. The aims of the Retail Training Bureau arc to give professional training to those planning to enter retailing and to those wishing to become more efficient in the field; to train special teachers and supervisors in retailing: to conduct investigations for the improvement of methods of selecting, training and supervising the employees in retail stores. BISHOP BHOWN Bureau students studying in the beautiful surroundings of the nineteenth floor.

In their modern offices, classrooms and laboratories on the nineteenth floor of the Cathedral, the students of tlie Bureau arc acquiring a very sound background for store careers. The courses include advertising, sales promotion, personnel, fashion, industrial design, employment methods, merchandising, store organization, and labor relations. These activities reflect the needs of the stores, especially now when the stores are faced with problems concerning personnel and operating. The staff is working with retailers on solutions and aids for these wartime situations. The students learn while they earn and their instructors are storewise buyers, copywriters, employment interviewers, floor managers, and merchandising men. They have the opportunity to sell, help with window displays, model, and become acquainted with all the backstage activities of the store, too. Stores in wartime have an even greater responsibility in educating customers to new materials and new merchandise, for they must aid in stopping panic buying and hoarding by explaining shortages and substitutes. In addition to all this, they have taken a vigorous part in promoting civil and national projects so important in wartime. In line with the government's conservation program, they have used ads. special columns, booklets, radio programs, and store meetings to advise on the wear and care of clothing and furnishings to make them last for the duration. Stores have taken these activities as their patriotic duty and undertaken them with the same skill and zest that they used before the war in selling. Their dramatic presentations have proven that g K� d deeds need not Ik dull. Itctail Bureau Student of the WartiiiH- Accelerated ( lav - of 19tt.

During these first five years there have been 286 men and women who have graduated with the degree of Master of Sciences in Social Administration. Those who are not serving with the armed forces are employed asSocial Workers in ease work agencies, hospitals, settlements, community centers, the Y.W.C.A.. the Y.M. and W.H.A., the (iirl Scouts, and Red Cross in this country and abroad. These students came to the School after completion of undergraduate work with a major in the social sciences from many colleges and universities in the United States and foreign countries. A recent development at the University of Pittsburgh is the plan for a Pre-Social Work Major in connection with the College and tin School of Business Administration. WILBER I.

The various specializations are family, child welfare, medical and psychiatric social case work, social group work, community organization, public welfare administration, and social research. [ 123] SCHOOL OF LAW The Law School of the University of Pittsburgh, founded in 18+8 and moved on campus in 1986, has become an integral part of the I niversity. It carries on its work by endeavoring to teach law in the “grand manner” and to make lawyers who will play an important part in the civic and business life of the community. This is done in the manner of teaching under the environment and spirit of the University, with all tlie University’s social, educational and cultural advantages. It takes seven years to gain a law degree, for Pitt is one of the minority who require college graduation before actual entrance into Law School. Although most of the law students are now in military service, the remaining students under the su|K rvision of their Dean, Judson Adams Crane, are following along in accordance with the high standards set by those men who ’nave gone before them.

CAMPBELL Student Faculty Association of years past became a new organization in the “’Pitt at War set-up. The Emergency Student Government Committee took over SFA’s old duties with many innovations. Now, instead of an entire student representation, they have invited into their membership men from different companies of AST. This Studcnt-AST group makes up the Co-op Committee. The social committee topped all social events with their afterfootball game dances at the Schenley where records and cokes flowed. Perhaps you saw some blonde lass with her skirt supporting a lap of shiny pennies . . . she was working in the spirit of the Penny Drive. KSGC collected 22,000 pennies in a short while. 'Flic Bond Drive and the War Fund were very successful projects and in keeping with the spirit of the day. Meetings held weekly in the Dean of Men's office arc arranged to discuss business and plan future programs. [ H4 j SI B COMMITTEES OF E. S. «. C AST-STl DENT CO-OP COMMITTEE I to r: Victor Voris. Co.

The council’s job, however, is more than just administering masculine activities on campus. Freshman Orientation is the task that requires character, spirit, and a real feeling for the University. The members in council are the advisors who take over the job of helping the new men accustom themselves to l’itt. A high Pres.........................Sidney Klein spot in the program for the newcomers is Honor Sec.-Treat....................Walter Jones Court, held annually in Stephen Foster Memorial. At this time the freshmen men who showed the greatest advancement in academic studies and activities arc awarded their gold Panther keys. The hook exchange, sponsored in former years to help students sell used books, had to be discontinued this year. ( 147 ] l� l row Victor Stein. Allen Abramson, Bernard Friedman.

Wartime travel conditions didn’t slow down the spirit of the Men’s Debate Association one iota— their program was as full and extensive as ever. Their varied audiences included the State Penitentiary, the Sewiekley Kiwanis flub, Kent College, and the Rodcf Shalom Youth flub. The Pitt debaters were as enthusiastic about the biggest local event of the debating season, the annual High School Debate Tournament, as the high school student representatives of the twenty-five high schools which entered. With an eye to the future, the Association’s debaters spoke pro and con to their many audiences about the problems of the post-war world and Inter-American relations. Their big problem, of course, was the official college debate topic dealing with the establishment and maintenance of a world police force. Manager................Harry Stark Audience Manager..

MEN’S GLEE CLUB l’itt’s oldest men’s organization is determined to keep active despite the crucial man shortage here at home. Under the direction of “Pop” Finney twenty some men met twice a week to rehearse either in 3401) Cathedral or among the steam pi|H s and meters of the Heinz Chapel basement. Membership is only about half that of a pre-war club, but these would-be crooners are filled with the same amount of spirit that kept a larger club together. Due to war conditions, Pitt’s (dee Club did not make any tours during the last year, and it is unlikely that they will make any extensive trips for the duration of the war. Their yearly minstrel show was set aside for this year, and in its stead the boys worked along with the Pitt Players in their spring musical comedy. Prtt........................Grant Lee V.

Founded in 1913 by Dr. Hugh Thompson Kerr and a group of Pitt students, it was named for Horace Pitkin, who was a martyred missionary to India. It is an inter-racial and interfaith student club which meets every Wednesday evening at the Shadysidc Presbyterian Church under the leadership of the Assistant Pastor Donald Fisher Campbell. Here friendly, agrumentative topics are led by noted speakers and discussed pro and con. The students collect a free will offering and use this to help support student help purposes. Because of its contribution and service to students, Pitkin has become embedded in the life of the University. t 150] 1 1 row Helen Dines. Christine Knmnras. Marcella Strutzcl. David Harbour.

They have taken these productions on the road, presented some at Community Houses, presented all of them for the student body on campus, and last year, gave a special performance for the Air Corps. This year, all facilities and operations have been curtailed. The number of members was also limited because many of the former members are now in the Armed Services. Hut when Buell Whitehill. Director, called for technical and acting staffs, he stressed the fact that if people were interested and willing to work, the obstacles could l e overcome. Mass meetings and stair meetings were held several times each month in preparation for a review, made up of a number of short skits.

Women's Choral was formed here at Pitt in order to increase interest in music and choral singing. Whether it is by gathering about the organ at Christmas time to carol, by joining the Men's diet Club in informal sings in the Commons Room, or by presenting Beaux Arts for the Freshmen: they induce in themselves and the student body the beauty of song. Highlighting the year’s work is the Spring Concert which this year had a Chinese theme with the girl's singing the musical version of Yachal Lindsey’s poem the “Chinese Nightingale . With a purpose such as that of fostering an appreciation of good music in order to serve the University, it can not help but remain a influential part of our University life.

I’lider the auspices of the I'. S. Key Center of War Information, W.S.A. presented programs to various high schools, women's clubs, and community groups. Stress was placed upon Economic problems of peace, women's role in war, and | cacc and new education. With the help of the Y.W.C.A. they presented Caritas, and also helped the Women’s Cliorul with the Beaux Arts program. Another activity of the W.S.A. was their representing Pitt in the Inter-City Discussion League. W.S.A. has contributed its part to the war effort by keeping college women abreast to the world through open discussion. [ 153] 1 1 rotr UoImtI llikrr, Andrew Mrplinm.

Besides these duties tin Y had charge of mailing the University News-letter to all I’itt servicemen. Although the V program centered largely about helping the soldiers, the members, in carrying out their purpose of providing spiritual and intellectual balance in campus life, sponsored the Pre-Mod Forum, the Freshman Club, and the social inquiry groups.

The Executive Committee. presiiled over by Evelyn Ferguson, met each Monday to broaden plans for the work of its major committees. The Committee worked with the Commission to improve conditions for l’itt women and to draw up resolutions for l’itt after its return to normalcy. Like every campus organization, WSGA has liecomc engulfed in war work. The social committee hel|H d to sponsor weekly dances for the AST and Sunday afternoon teas for the soldiers and their parents. An outstanding social event of the year was the Air Corps dance given in Noveml� er for two thousand cadets and I’itt women.

Regardless of the many people temporarily missing from the evening school class rooms during this war year, a conscientious group of evening school students, prexied l� y Leona Robertson, have eagerly supported the Kvening School Association. They serve as a governing body and arc associated with the publication of the Pitt Kvcning News. “To sponsor fellowship and promote the general welfare of the student body” as their main objective, ESA aids in furthering social interests. According to custom, the group held open house in the Commons Room at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. The many dances and parties of former years have been considerably cut down due to this war year. Through the whole-hearted interest of the mcml ers, ESA has established a worthy organization and many life-long friendships. In spite of the many problems brought about by the “I’niversity gone to war, the evening students were determined not to be slighted, and the Pitt Evening News continued to serve as an expression of the opinions of the students of the late afternoon and evening classes. Since most of the staff held full •laytime jobs as well as the classes they were carrying at the I'niversity, meeting deadlines Invarnc a serious race with time. The paper, under a new editor and with a decreased staff went to press fewer times this year, but each sheet covered evening school news thoroughly. The copy was literally put to bed. for the staff worked into the night at their office in 4701. The Pitt Evening News, with typical Pitt persistanee. worked to publish a sound newspaper.

Early this spring, after a census taken at the February registration, these men organized under the direction of Theodore W. Biddle, dean of men. Proposed plans were discussed at a dinner meeting at which members of the military staffs at Pitt were present. Since then, prexied by Marine Corporal harry Bogart, who was wounded when the r.S.S.

United by common experiences, the men will occupy an important position in life at the University, for they will be here for their full college term.

The men of this company were sent here from camps all over the country, and, in aggregate, they represent one hundred and twenty two colleges ami thirty-two states. For some of tin' men. the “slide-rule work is new, but others are merely taking up the square roots where they left them before the war. A has the distinction of being visited every morning at reveille by the Officer in Charge. It seems that the boys have a little trouble getting up. which only proves the old story about the fate of the Army bugler. Company “A also runs true to form in that the boys arc working like blazes.

Despite studies, military courses, physical training, regular classes, and all their other (J.I. activities, the hoys have found time to hold a pair of dances, have a basketball team, drop back to their fraternities, and. naturally keep the girls busy.

The fellows are kept busy, dashing to and front school, attending classes, taking four hours a week of enlisthentics, and going to military drills. Then, of course, they have to keep in trim for their Saturday inspections. As they say, This military discipline is rough. Kven though there is so little time for extra-curricular activities. Company C sponsored a dance for the l oys at the Kdgewood Country Club on December 18. The Company's first graduating class has not had a chance to see action but after a nine month period of internship the boys will receive their commissions and be assigned to their various stations. 1 Ml© Company ”1)'’, composed of more than fifty momhers of Pitt's First Year Advanced KOTC, returned to the I'nivcrsity last November lit after IS weeks of basic training. Ordered to active duty upon completion of the spring semester last year, the men left for the New ('uml crlund Reception Center on June •£'.5. then one week later were shipped to Fort Kustis, Virginia. These men have Ih cii returned to the I’niversity for further academic training in the School of Knginccring under the direction of the AST. All of the men are awaiting appointment to Officer's Candidate School as required by their ROTO contracts with the Army. Commanding the Company is Captain Thomas G. Hrieker. and Master-Sergeant Thomas R. Nicholson, chief clerk of the ROTC unit, is the acting first-sergeant of the company. COMPANY K Company K was the first of the basic engineering companies to be organized at Pitt. For two weeks, the men lived at Shadyside in a (I.I. heaven of soft ball, bunk fatigue, and free time. After a short furlough, they moved to the 12th floor CL. and, guided by ('apt. John Finnerty and Sgt. K. R. A. Scofield, headed into Term 1. The work was hard, and the Company lost some men at term's end but bolstered by the memory of the Company dance at Webster Hall, another furlough, a new C.O., and come new blood from F Company, they launched into Term 2. sporting green company badges, but pretty much the same old outfit. The boys don't know how long they will be here, but hope to stay for the sake of the co-eds we can’t speak to, the 'Puck Shop, and St. Peter's 'Mystery Hour'. [ 1� 4 ] Way up in the less dense portions of the inevitable smog, higher even than the Air Students elect to ascend, on the twentieth and twenty-first floors, there exists a group known as Company F. Potentially, this lofty position offers a magnificent view. Potentially, these engineers say, because they believe that the Pittsburgh blackness cannot last forever. Company F, which was activated at Pitt on August 18, 1943 is made up of an All-American group of (I.I .'s from Texas, Iowa, New Jersey. (Jcorgia, Rhode Island, and Brooklyn. Everyone gripes, therefore everyone is happy, since griping is acknowledged to be tin mark of a contented soldier. In the line of extra-curricular activities, the boys figure that 1 5 of their time is spent waiting in one line or another, 1 5 askpcc, and 4 5 thinking about girls. (An example of engineering math). During the rest of the time, they study. COMPANY V I 1H' 1 COMPANY • Oh, East is East and West is West, And never the twain shall meet-” Kipling's famous words can easily he disproved hy a quick glance at the composition of Company (i, advanced engineers of the AST I nit. For not only docs this company contain, in its IK7 men. representatives of forty states, Alaska, and Trinidad, hut it also consists of all kinds and conditions” of army men from 'lowly' one-stripers, just out of basic, to deep browed staff and first sergeants with often more than two year's previous service. Almost all of the members have, at some time or another, had at least two years of college experience. This seemingly heterogeneous group has found, however, a keen and lively fellowship at Pitt, both within itself and in its associations with the students and activities of the I’nivcrsity. Kvidcnce of this is found in the dances, smokers, and other affairs in which the company has had a part. The last of the AST Companies to In' activated at Pitt, Company II was quartered at old Sliadysidc Academy. Although the hoys are a little removed from the rest of the Army, they say that their more horizontal view of the Smoky City is not without its advantages. The company has been efficiently administered through its two terms of existence by (’apt. Donald It. Campbell, CAC, and Lt. Harry C. Paulton, QMC, ably assisted by 1st Sgt. John V. Flynn and T S William Winkler. Between their study of area and languages and the performance of required military duties, the men have found time to enjoy a company dance on November 27. a Christmas party on December 22, and a smoker in late February as well as several AWYS-sponsorcd evenings. COMPANY II [ 187] lion Our airmen have proved themselves the masters of anything that flies, and since March 1. 1943 the I'niversitv has played its part in the training of these airmen. The aim of the College Training Detachment program is to equip the Aviation Students with the background needed when they arrive at their next base for Pre-Flight training. Included in the Air Crew curriculum are Mathematics. Physics, Geography, Civil Aeronautic Regulations, History, [ 188] Alll and Knglish. Also included in the program arc Drill. Physical Training, and 10 hours of flying at liutlcr Field. When the graduated squadron arrives at the Cadet classification center and passes the physical, mental, psychological, and co-ordination examinations. they are classified as bombardiers, pilots, and navigators. Then, these future airmen dedicate themselves to one aim. one ambition earning a pair of silver wings. ( APT. JOHN F. CHANT I.TS. HERBERT SAMITES. EDWARD A. WEATHERBEE. EDWARD P. LESLIE. FRANCIS S.

[ 18� ] M|r. mto a M on than half of Squadron A pulled into Pittsburgh on January 'i from Greensboro, North Carolina, where they had led a useful, but somewhat colorless life taking basie training and Air Crew Classification tests. The rest of the squadron, on the other hand, arrived some five weeks later complete with suntans from Miami Beach. Florida. While there they had completed the same general program, but they managed to live in famous shore resort hotels while they were doing it. The first group spent a hectic period of several weeks in quarantine. Once released they were quick to appreciate the life of Pitt, quick to enjoy weekends with the people they met in Pittsburgh. There were the usual cracks about the dirt and smog of the Smoky City. Most impressive feature of Pitt Army life proved to Ik the good chow. Squadron A men ran true to form. They started out as the underdog junior squadron and worked up the line. They got into trouble and out of it. had good times and bad. But they still like to think of themselves as the lK st squadron that ever reached the Ik sI College Training Detachment in the country. I 190 J Squadron B arrived in the City of the Hills and Valleys on December 7, appropriately enough. Appropriately enough localise some of the boys were at Pearl Harbor the day December 7 started to be capitalized in the minds of Americans. Quite a few of the men in B were stationed in Hawaii, either on Oahu or on the island of Hawaii with the Field Artillery and the Infantry. The men in B hold ranks from private to master sergeant and have seen action from Africa to the Canal Zone, from Brazil to the South Pacific. Some of the men were attached to the Eighth Air Force in England, while others have served in almost every other branch of the service. In addition, B is the highest paid squadron ever to enter the (50th CTD, its members being chiefly non-commissioned officers. SltVJADIlOX B , [ 191 1 MIUAIIIIOX C From the sun-kissed shores of California to the roekbound coast of Maine, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico have come the men of Squadron C. This group of men from eighteen to twenty-seven years of age, eligible physically and mentally to participate in Air Crew Training, were assembled at Basic Training ('enter No. 10, Greensboro, North Carolina, where for a period of two to three months they sweated out that particular form of torture known as basic. From Greensboro the boys were shipped north to the I niversity of Pittsburgh to take the preliminary five months of college training before being classified. The boys arrived at Pitt on November 8, 1043, and Squadron C was officially formed. I 11 2 J The men of Squadron 1) arrived here Octol cr 11). 1948, for their five months college training course. The main body came from Greensboro, North Carolina with the rest coming from Miami Beach to complete the squadron. With l,t. William L. la venson as their Tactical Officer, these men upheld the tradition of the 60th CTI by becoming a well trained squadron whose discipline and morale was exceptionally high. During the course of their stay here at Pitt, they were largely responsible for the first musical comedy ever to be staged by the Air Crew Students, the never-to-be-forgotten “The bid's Off”. It was a smash hit which sold a million and a half dollars worth of War Bonds to help boost the fourth war loan drive of Pittsburgh. Now they are looking forward to the next step along the way to becoming pilots, bombardiers, and navigators in the Army Air Force. MtUAIIltOX II 1198 ] I 194 J MtUAIIItOX K Squadron K arrived in Pittsburgh on tlie 22nd of February. The boys came in two groups from two different fields. Freeman Field at Seymour, Indiana, and Lockbournc Army Air Base in Columbus, Ohio. The first thing that struck the fellows about Pitt was. as always, the terrific chow, which made everybody very happy and still does. Then came the seemingly infinite period Iwfore their restriction was lifted and they were able to find out that all they had heard about the fair city was true, which also made them very happy. 'This group, all fresh from the classification centers, was well supplied with stripes, from master sergeants to p.f.e.’s, and at first it was a little tough to get acclimated to bare shirt sleeves, but the boys are bearing up well. All we can say is that if the boys in the squadron shape up in the remainder of their training as they have so far, they don’t have a thing to worry about. HKKV1CK HALL OF FAME “For Pittsburgh's glory and the honor of the University is an appropriate tally for our men ami women in the armed services. Especially, the University is proud of those who have been decorated for valor, for these citations honor not only the men who received them but also other Pitt men and women who are lighting with them. They honor, too, the members of the faculty who were their teachers and who, daily, through the cheerful performance of extra wartime duties share the victory, sacrifice, and valor. Their deeds of unbelievable bravery in the face of action are tremendous. In a battle olf Guadalcanal, a boy removed shell casings from white hot guns with his bare hands after his asWstos gloves burned out; another, seeing one of his men lying wounded in a gun emplacement directly in the line of Japanese machine gun fire, left his shelter and removed the wounded man to safety; a navigator on a flight mission over Sfax returned to his position next to a burning engine, after being ordered to hail out, and got rid of a load of 1000 pound bombs, making sure that all the bombs were away, before a crash lauding was made. For these actions and others like them. Pitt's men have been cited with 1 Navy Cross, V Distinguished Service Crosses, ii Distinguished Flying Crosses, 117 Air Medals, 11 Silver Stars, 1 Soldier's Medal, I V Purple Hearts, and numerous Oak Leaf Clusters. F.aeh day additional rejmrts of their heroism come in from every sector, front, and theatre of war. Pitt is justly proud of her men and women who are fighting, dying, and winning this war. LT. COL.

A lowered draft age and the calling up of the Army and Navy Reserves in the colleges seemingly eliminated all those hoys who formerly participated in the sports programs. More than 500 of the so-called Army schools abandoned formal athletics completely. Many others were saved only l v the presence of Navy trainees who were 1 admitted to compete on the college teams. But Pitt, convinced of the value of sports in |H acctimc. was even more convinced of the value of sports in wartime. Roth Army and Navy officials had gone oil record with the statement that contact sports offered the finest kind of training for war a boy could get outside of actual combat. Pitt determined to carry on its athletics and to give the boys coming into school an opportunity to participate and get into condition for the great battles to come. This year Pitt fielded football, basketball and baseball teams. Plans were also made to have golf, tennis and track teams if there were enough boys who wanted them. An Intramural program was organized for both fraternities and inde| cndcnts. And a major part of the athletic program was given over to conditioning the Army men stationed at Pitt. It is an athletic program geared of the present and laying a foundation for the future at the same time it is preparing young men for future military duty.

But it also meant heightened competition, for football was open to everyone at Pitt this year. There were six freshmen in the lineup Pitt sent against Notre Dame, Scptemlwr 25, and five of these had not yet registered with their local boards. First string quarterback Joe Mocha, who combined football with a pre-dent course, was a 17-vear-old freshman from St. (’lair. Pa. Other 17-vear-olds in the lineup were center Don Fisher, guard Gary Fcniello, end Jim Maloney, and fullback Bill Abromitis. Only Francis Mattioli at left guard was a regular on the previous Pitt team, while dent freshman Frank Knislcy, and DiekTrachok played whatever positions needed to strengthen the team. JOE MOCHA.

MacArthur PITT 0 —NOTRE DAME H The largest crowd ever to witness a Pitt opening game, 58,000, came out to watch the Panthers meet the Irish, September 25. Pitt had the T formation, but Notre Dame had Bctelli, Lujack, Kelly, Rykovich, Miller, Mello and the '1' formation. The very young Panthers, with five 17-year-olds in the starting lineup, tried hard, but as one Chicago writer so aptly summed it up, It was a case of the T against a case of TNT.” [209] ITIT 0 GREAT LAKHS 40 Pitt traveled to Great Lakes, but as far as t lie game was concerned it was still a case of “too old, too big, and too experienced. Another Notre Dame man, Steve Juswik, and a former Duke nemesis, Steve Lack, contributed most of the damage to the Panther cause. PITT 18 WEST VIRGINIA 0 October 11 marked the opening of the real” Pitt season as the Panthers met a team their own size for the first time. To reserve quarterback Joe Kielb went the honor of scoring the first Pitt touchdown of the year. Fourth down, two yards to go. the Mountaineer line closed in for a line plunge, but Mr. Kielb decided to keep the ball himself and ran around the end for the score. Fullback Bill Abromitis and halfback Tommy Kalmanir contributed the other touchdowns. PITT 25 ILLINOIS 8:1 The Pitts went to Illinois for this one. At the half, they ap| earcd to be soundly beaten, lit 0. The Pitt defensive halfbacks hail a tendency to stand still in their tracks and Eddie Bray and Eddie McGovern had a tendency to run around the ends for long scoring gains. But the Panthers put on a second half finish that made people wonder if Pitt had changed teams as well as sides at the half. Pitt completed I f out of 17 passes attempted as they amassed 25 points. But Illinois also picked up 14 points in the second half to make the final score 88 25. It was the largest collection of points a Pitt team had ever made in losing a game. (210] PITT IS BETHANY (� Not too much was known about Bethany’s all-Xavy team, and apparently. the Panthers decided to devote the (irst half to sounding them out. They sloughed through a scoreless first half, but pushed across three touchdowns in the final stanza to give them their second shutout win of the season. The Panthers evidently bearing in mind their lapses at Illinois, were particularly good defensively against the bigger Bethany Navy recruits. PITT 45 CARNEGIE TECH 5 Short of shooting the scorekeeper. the Panthers did everything possible to keep down the score of this game, but the Shaughnessy coached team was just too much for the game, willing, but sadly inept Tartans. Only :54 came out for football at Tech this year and 'i'i of these had never before played football. Everyone of the G5 boys listed on the Pitt roster saw action in the game. The final Pitt touchdown was scored by a member of the scrub team. PITT «—OHIO STATE 4(5 This was to have been ’‘the Pitt game of the season. It turned out to be the Ohio State game of the season. The Buckeyes, with only one previous win, seemingly made up for all the shortcomings of their season in this one game. In possession of the ball eight times during the first half, they scored seven times. Fleet halfbacks Ernie Parks and Dean Scnsanbaugher made the Buckeyes virtually unstoppable. The Panthers held the OSl’ third and fourth teams scoreless during the second half and Jack 11 .el went over for the only Pitt score of the game. r 2ii i PITT o PENN STATE Penn Slate was rated a two touchdown favorite over the Panthers which is exactly what the final score showed them to Ik . But the Panthers were never very far out of this hall game and, with a few breaks, might have won. They couldn't get their offense going and dropped enough passes to break up five hall games. One of the ironic oddities of the game was supplied by ex-panther Bill Abromitis who scored the first State touchdown. Lone bright spot for the Panthers was Francis Mattioli's brilliant performance at guard. 1212] RoM-pink at Pitt C’EST LA (il KIti: Once upon a time a coach merely had to worry about the lineup the opposing team was going to set against him. But wartime football is such that a coach can never state with any finality one day just what his lineup is going to be the next. From the time of the intra-squad game, August 2. to the final game. November 20. the draft and ubiquitous eighteenth birthdays left the Panthers with insufficient players to make up a good first team. Particularly Itoiepink in the Navy damaging to the Pitt chances were the loss of halfbacks Carl Mosso and Angelo Carlac-cini. fullback Hill Abromitis, and tackle Martv Roscpink. Strangest feature of wartime football was the sensation coaches had when boys they had trained ami developed, sent to other colleges under Navy and Marine programs, came back to look down the throats of their former team mates.

CLIFFORD CARLSON Kvents of the 1943-44 basketball season showed that Dr. II. C. Carlson knew what he was talking about when he dubbed his team the Tiny Toughics. It was a team made up of untried sophomores and 17-year old freshman with the exception of Captain Walter Jones, who was a member of last year’s varsity. I don’t inspire these Kids,” the Doctor insisted, they inspire me. The fans soon saw what he meant. Forward Nate Apple almost had to legally change his name to Frank Merriwell after he sank the winning field goals in the final seconds of the Geneva and Bethany contests. February freshman Chuck Bichl made the team just in time to contribute the winning points against West Virginia and take the scoring honors at Penn State. It was a team that thrilled the fans all season with a display of gameness, courage, spirit and skill in the pure fundamentals as they broke even on the 14 game schedule. Sometimes the Toughics lost to superior height (Westminster, Penn State); sometimes to all around superior teams (unbeaten Army and Ohio State, champions of the Big Ten). They never lost, because they were outfought and they always came up with a good game. Doc’s Tiny Toughics Penn Slate makes another try. I.ook at those expressions!! At the Geneva game.

In line with the University policy to continue sports “just so long as there are boys who are interested and who want to play, Pitt turned out track, golf and tennis teams last year. Rut cross-country, indoor track, and swimming were dropped. This April track and golf were dropped. Harold “Ilap Stiekel. Pitt track great who climaxed his college career by winning the National AAU GO yard low hurdle championship in February of last year, coached the track team last year. The track team walloped Carnegie Tech. 90-84. but in turn was beaten by Penn State, 4G-80, finished last in the Triangular meet with Army and Columbia, and failed to place in the Penn Relays and IC-4A championship. The golfers, coached by Nick Kliskcy, won two and lost two games of a four game schedule. They bowed to West Virginia and Navy, but defeated good neighbor Carnegie Tech twice.

T. P. GROUP A major part of Pitt's athletic program this year was given over to a group of men whose names never appear in box scores or in sports page headlines. For with the coining of the Army to Pitt, it became the job of the Athletic Department to provide a program of physical fitness for the soldiers in training. Running, calisthenics, and swimming were the three main divisions of Pitt’s program to condition its Army students for future battles. A specialized course in wartime aquatics was given to teach the men to swim under conditions of actual warfare. They swim fully clothed in fatigue suits, with packs on their backs, and through burning oil and gasoline. In charge of conditioning the Air Corps students was Bob Hoel. Stanley Olenn was in charge of the Army Specialized Training students. Assisting them were baseball coach Ralph Mitterling, Warren Heller, Tar Onder, Mike Josephs, and Charles Hartwig.

Their choice of fun, depending upon the season of the year, ranged from swimming parties to ice-skating, bowling,and basketball parties. For freshmen women who can't take an active part in WAA, the group sponsors a guild included in the guild system, in which the activities arc very similar to those of the Women’s Athletic Association proper.

A successful theatre party highlighted the year's social curriculum when the men as a complete group put aside their busy schedules for one evening and went to the Nixon Theatre together. Their social activities have been at a minimum this year because the majority of the members have lieen teaching soldiers chemistry, mathematics, and physics under the army program.

OMintOV DELTA KAPPA The last two inemlKTS of ()I)K left the University in the spring of 1048. But they left behind them a request that a committee of faculty members undertake active care of the chapter and keep their national honorary activities fraternity going. So the faculty members appointed for this, met to act as the nucleus of ()I)K, and to nominate future tapccs. In the fall semester, the huge white key stood on the ground floor corridor instead of on the campus. Eight men were honored, and eight names appeared on the key Jim Baker, Dave Barbour, Charles Bezdek, Walter Jones, Sidney Klein, Ned McIntosh, Tom Paddcn, and Harry Stark. January 14 marked the date of their informal initiation banquet at the College Club, and once again the Gamma Circle is in top form. Pres..........................Walt Jones V.

At every other bi-weekly meeting, there was a well-known speaker as guest. On the social side, there was a picnic at Riverview Park, a dinner and party during Xmas, a roller skating party soon after, followed by a trip to Buhl Planetarium. At the l eginning of the semester, all women science students were invited to attend a tea in the Stephen Foster Social Room. In April, after a get-acquainted party, the initiation of new members took place at an impressive candlelight ritual. It was then that the new members learned the symbolic meaning of Quax.

SIGMA KAI'PA Pill The purpose of Sigma Kappa Phi, national honorary foreign language fraternity, is for “recognition of outstanding ability and attainments in the foreign languages, the stimulation of advanced work and individual research in the language field, the creation of a spirit of unity and co-operation among the students of foreign languages”. Membership to Sigma Kappa Phi is limited to those language students who have maintained a 'i.ii average for six semesters. Once initiated, they arc active members for life and participation in fraternity activities does not cease upon graduation. The mcml crs of Sigma Kappa Phi represent each language department of the University. The chief event of the year, the Initiation Banquet, held in December at the College Club, represented an English speaking group with an international background of languages.

In November, they gave an informal pledge dance, and in early February seven new members were initiated and given a banquet at the Royal York apartments. Good engineering principles determine the strikes and spares made at their informal bowling parties, but the fraternity favors meetings where food is the main issue. About one-third of the Kngineering school's faculty, including Dean Holbrook, are alumni of Sigma Tau. The previous membership of forty has been reduced to fifteen but the quality and spirit of the fellows is the best, as always. [ 234 ] I si TOM Barbara Kohbcrgcr.

The receiving line, the tea and cakes, and the pleasant conversations were enjoyed by l oth the fraternity women and the freshman. The same spirit was present at the tea for transfers, an important event in a late orientation to Pitt. In line with the activities of the regular Panhellenic Council, there was a Junior Council organized by the pledges, which turned out quite successfully. The Inter-Fraternity Sing was one of the highlights of the year. Each fraternity worked to make its own skit the best, and everyone, including the judges, contributed to the success of the affair.

Most people think of a radiator valve or an automobile valve. The fact is that wherever the flow of a gas or a fluid must be controlled, there a valve must be used. Valves run from little tiny ones that weigh about a half pound to great big ones that weigh a couple of tons, with outlets as large as three feet—maybe four or five feet wide and six feet tall. Some are operated by hand and some by electric motors. These great big valves go in rubber plants, gasoline plants, and on dry docks and ships. Valves are made mostly of bronze, cast iron, steel, and malleable iron. With the valves go fittings, tees, elbows, pipe. etc., and wrenches with which to operate them. Ships use lots of valves: some kinds use as many as 15.000 per ship. They are used to control oil. steam, water, gas. and other fluids. In wartime most all valves are used for war purposes and so many arc used that the valve industry has had to multiply its normal production many times. In wartime importance, valves are close to the top of the list of essentials. WALWORTH COMPANY, Inc. GREENSBURG WORKS [311] T JLHIS man’s intentions were excellent. But he chose the wrong method of carrying them out. He directed his trustee under his Will to continue the operation of his business without fail; to sell this piece of real estate, to hold that; to invest only in certain types of securities for which he had a high personal regard, to avoid all others. And the outcome? The business had to be operated at a loss. Forced sales of real estate were made. Certain types” of securities were held and held, while the market went down and down. Net result: a decrease of more than half in the net value of his estate to his heirs. In your own case: how much wiser to give discretion to a trustee whose judgment you can trust and who will always be able to make competent decisions based on current values and conditions.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY . . . in the Age of Carbides An intermetallic compound, discovered in 1937 by Mr. Philip M. McKenna, ushered in an era that offers unique opportunities for men and women whose interest lies in chemistry and allied professions. This compound (tungsten - titanium - carbide, corresponding to the chemical formula WTiC2) is cemented with other ingredients by processes of powder metallurgy, to form carbide compositions, known as Kennametal. that are up to 250 times as wear-resistant as hard steel! Today the major part of Ken-nametal production is for metalcutting purposes. Yet the ultimate scope of its applicability still remains virtually unexplored. The possibilities inherent in it are stimulating, since each new use for it means a new way has been found to increase machine efficiency.

It is because of these efforts that we now pass this book on to others, smile proudly, and say: “The OWL is now yours—the record of an eventful and surprising year in the life of the students, faculty, and military personnel of your University. —The Editor.
