ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Although the work of the officers of Administration covers a great deal of territory and entails the grave responsibility of efficient operation of the school, they perform their tasks so well that we scarcely realize their presence. It is their duty to interpret and enforce the Institute rules, to see to the proper maintenance of the buildings, to record a multitude of data, and to guide our relations with the general public. We should be truly thankful, especially in these troubled times, for the excellent work they do.

DEPARTMENTAL The faculty holds a prominent place in any college’s traditions and achievements; this is especially true at Wor¬ cester Tech. The Class of 1943 is finally graduating and in appreciation and remembrance we dedicate this to the owners of the strong hands that guided us down the groove of higher education. Our story is written entirely in the spirit of fun and we hope it will be read in that light. Let it here be said that any faculty member who thinks he has grounds for a libel suit after reading this should just step around to the Peddler office. We haven’t a leg to stand on, and will gladly settle out of court. A student’s eye view of our faculty is not the best basis for forming an acquaintance—in too many cases it’s too much like a worm’s description of a robin. However, it is the only basis most of us have, and we must make the best of it. Let us remember that a robin is, after all, just a robin, and professors are really human.—We have it on good authority that some of them do not even beat their wives. For our four year glimpse of the chosen few who shaped our destiny, let us look through the eyes of the man who Charles Joseph Adams Professor of English Morton Masius Professor of Physics Theodore Harding Morgan Professor of Electrical Engineering (Leave of Absence) Raymond Kurtz Morley Professor of Mathematics 14
