President Arthur Bronwell The President ' s Message Charles Kettering, a pioneering industrialist, once said, where there is an open mind there is a frontier.” If, in your education, you have cultivated an open mind, if you can see the frontiers and understand something of their possibilities, then you have gained a priceless asset. But how often do the frontiers recede into dim obscurity as the once open mind finds itself cluttered up with the immediacies of life? The truly open mind—the mind which will find the frontiers—is that which is dedicated to the highest ideals in service, while ever striving to enlarge the horizons of education and to build the fner qualities of character. Our best wishes go with you as you venture forth. In you Worcester Tech places its confdence and its hopes. Arthur Bronwell 18

Jn Mmnrtam iEnteat Sana Milamt . To be regarded, throughout life, as a man of high esteem, ability, and fortitude is truly an honor. But, to be also remembered, even in death, as a man of deep-hearted sincerity, loyalty, and dedicated friendship, is an honor worthy of a great man”. Such a man was Dr. Ernest Dana Wilson. As a scientist, he was outstanding. As a teacher, his rare ability to apply and translate his thoughts won him the respect and admiration of his students. His relation with his students did not cease, however, in the classroom. His interest in their welfare and activi¬ ties continued even into their careers. In many cases, Dr. Wilson was instrumental in the successes and goals attained by some of his students. His zeal appeared even as a critic where he exhibited a severe, but honest and si ncere opinion. Dr. Wilson’s achievements and strongly built loyalities will be ever present amongst us. His existence was truly that of a man”. 17
