Scheifley said nothing, confident that by morning they would be gone. In the morning the two cars had become four! But pranks never bothered the good-natured proc¬ tor as long as they were harmless, and original. He was so well liked by the students that he was given honorary membership in the Knights of the Road, a hitch-hiking group of out-of-town-game football fans instrumental in the building of Tech spirit. In 1935, he took his Master’s degree at Cornell—which complicates matters for him on the day of the annual Cornell vs. University of Pennsylvania football tilt. He then joined the faculty of Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. (Established before the University of Miami of water-skiing fame.) After three years in Ohio, where he was known as a card shark at bridge, he returned to Worcester, where he has been one of the most dynamic forces in campus ac¬ tivities ever since. Before a boy even leaves high school he meets Profes¬ sor Scheifley as director of the Techniquest—that summer session when high school students get their first glimpse of Tech life.

Chair¬ man of the President’s General Excellence Trophy Com¬ mittee. As Secretary, and now Chairman, of the Inter¬ fraternity Council, he has helped to coordinate and guide the nine Tech fraternities towards goals which make the community proud of them.

The Tech man today is also more eager to be broad-minded, to learn about things which are not part of engineering. “And.” he says, “the student is more serious today than ever before—partly due to the effects of the depression, the world war, and the immi¬ nence of military service.” But he hopes young men won’t become too serious, because. “You’re only young once, you know.” That is why Professor Scheifley loves his work so much —he is among men who are young in spirit—like him¬ self. While Tech men go out and make machines to sh ape the world’s riches. Professor Scheifley, married to none save his work, will always be that part of Tech which molds the minds of those men who shape the fu¬ ture. To him this volume is respectfully dedicated. He left no stone unturned His interest was in the student Page Seven
