You Are Now an Engineering Alumnus Alumni House — 1 8 Willcocks Street University of Toronto When you graduate, you become one of the 12,000 engineers who are the Engineering Alumni of the University of Toronto. There are over 5,000 living in Metro Toronto and the rest are spread out across Canada. Many live in other countries and there are strong alumni social organizations in Montreal, New York, Los Angeles and Vancouver. The main purpose of an alumni group is fel- lowship in the common bond that joins all gradu- ates of this University. In order to give alumni affairs impetus and leadership, the Engineering Alumni Council of the Engineering Alumni As- sociation of the University of Toronto, to use the propert titles, meets once a month in Hart House to direct our efforts in organizing social functions and other projects to help the Uni- versity and the faculty. Members of Council are elected from among the graduate engineers living in the local area. The only direct line with the University is through the Department of Alumni Affairs directed by Joe Evans who may be found at Alumni House, 18 Willcocks Street, when he is not on the road, shaking hands and encourag- ing alumni to get together. You are also represented on the Senate of the University by six men elected from among yourselves as Engineering Alumni. Elections are held for these responsible posts every three years. The latest tangible evidence of the efforts of Engineering Alumni is the Analogue Computer given recently to School. Other evidence in- cludes scholarships and bursaries, a monthly publication — the Engineering Alumni News — mailed out to all alumni, and the Annual Fall Dinner at Homecoming in October. Council Meetings are on the third Wednesday of each month in Hart House and there is al- ways someone minding the drafting rooms at 1 8 Willcocks Street . For help in organizing class functions in the years ahead call on your Alumni Council through Alumni House. Mr. William Turner, president of the Engineering Alumni Council 1960-62, congratulates Mr. John Brant, presi- dent of the Engineering Society representing the gradu- ating class. Congratulations to ' 62 from THE ENGINEERING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Representing over 12,000 Graduates of School Pay 4

Gentlemen the Dean: i 1 1 3 1 3 ] 1 The Dean in India The end of another academic year has different — meanings for students of the different years. It has, perhaps, the greatest impact upon students Hof the First and Fourth Years. Students in the J intermediate years are in midstream, accustomed to their environment and with no immediate pros- f — ,pect of violent change. Therein, of course, lies [a danger to which they ought to be alert — the danger that they will be so satisfied with their environment that they may fail to put forth their i “jbest efforts while this precious environment lasts. jThe successful First Year student (and I hope all will be successful!) has reason for looking at things K ,a little differently. He has made the transition from high school to university, he has begun to • appreciate what the university means, and the three years ahead seem to present an unending !vista . Here he, too, needs to be alert, or those jthree years may well whisk away with lightning- like speed with too little accomplishd. Ask a Fourth Year man how long the four years seem : ' to him now! The Fourth Year student is in a dif- ■ -Jferent position again. He has finished his course and faces many splendid opportunities. He may I if eel that he wishes to continue his formal edu- I Jcation and so is planning to go on to graduate work, as an increasing number are doing. Or he G 1 may be eager to enter some branch of industry in order to begin to apply the principles he has for the most part been studying at university, remembering humbly, that he has much to learn about industrial practice, and that he can learn it only by experience in industry. He has every reason to feel proud of his accomplishments so far, and needs only to remember constantly, the admittedly trite remark that the learning process never ends. So, at whatever stage we may be, students and staff alike, let us view what we have accomplished with reasonable satisfaction, but resolve to try to improve our performance in the future, as there is always room for improvement. Let us remain thankful that we are all part of a fine Faculty and a fine University. R. R. McLaughlin, Dean of Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Page 5
