To hold their claims to the southern title now the Tigers must take both of the games in Athens this week. Cram'ton Bowl was a very slippery place Saturday but despite this both teams played some real baseball. Coach White's Red and Black team had their hitting togs on during most of the afternoon and connected with Sheridan's delivery for a total of thirteen hits, while the Auburn boys were touching up Sale for eight. This was the hardest bombardment that the Bessemer lad had experienced ttris year and Sale had a no-hit game to his credit against Virginia on Monday previous to his facing Auburn's ash wielders. , These two mound artists are exepected to face each other again and the second bnt-\ Auburn Cinder Artists Win From Georgia Tech tie between the two Freds should be a thriller; Georgia drew the first blood and pushed across a counter in the initial frame on two bases on balls and a couple of miscues. Clark's three cushion wallup with Middlebrooks on the paths gave Georgia another in the second. Auburn knotted the score in the fourtb on Griffin's double, Sherling's walk, a single by Knowles and a sacrifice fly by Arnall, but the lead was again grabbed off in the fifth by the bulldogs when Thomason doubled took third on Ramsey's single to left and scored on Allen's sacrifice. With two out in the sixth Georgia rallied after Ramsey's fly had been misjudged and went for a triple, the net results of which rally was sufficient to win the game, tbough Auburn scored two more in the seventh. Darkness took the reins at the end of the eighth and the game was called. Box Score. GEORGIA AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Coach Hutsell's track team had their fighting clothes on Saturday, afternoon and sprang a surprise by defeating the Georgia Tech squad by 57 to 55. The meet was featured by many strong finishes and narrow margin wins. Tech jumped off to an eight point lead in the first event when Anderson and Barron took both first and second places in the 100 yd. dash. The lead "was of short duration as the Orange and Blue soon began to pile up the score by taking both places in the mile, the Shotput and the discus. After gaining the lead Auburn was never headed but the jackets managed to tie the count in the next o last eyent, at which time the score stood fifty-two all. As a very befitting climax to the meet, the final event was the deciding one. In this event, the broad jump, Jimmy Pippin made 21 ft. l;-3-4 in. on his first trial which was four inches better than Jimmy Brewster of the Jackets was able to make and the results were a win for Auburn by the narrow margin of two points. —TraueTsoii o'f rfr(nf"Tvas~TUe—tpgtff-point scorer of the day, making ten points and was the only man to finish first in two events. Stallings of Auburn was next with one first and one tie for nine points. Stockl> berg and Brewster each won a first and second place for eight points.

After graduating, Mr. Ashcraft read law one year at Florence, Ala., and then for three years was president of the Geneva Collegiate Institute, Geneva, Ala. In 1897 he returned to Florence where, with three brothers, all of whom are Auburn graduates, he organized the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Company. Later, he assisted in organizing the Florence Cotton Oil Company, Ashcraft Cotton Mills, Pioneer Guano Company, Maury Phosphate Company and the International Agricultural Corporation of which he was director and first general sales manager. In 1910 he removed to Atlanta where he opened the Southern office for the International Agricultural Corporation. He resigned in 1912 and assisted in organizing the Ashcraft-Wilkinson Company of which he is now president. During the World "War Mr. Ashcraft held several responsible positions in the furtherance of the war work, including chairmanship" of the Atlanta Chapter of the Red Cross, member of the National Council of Defense, Sulphur committee, secretaryship of the Georgia State Council of Defense and chairman of its executive committee. At the present time Mr. Ashcraft is president of the Auburn Alumni Association in Atlanta. He is also past president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the S. A, E.

The official score as announe ed here this morning by the Auburn officials was Auburn 2092 and the Military Academy 206.2, which gave the Auburn pistolers a thirty point lead. Auburn's score was out of a possible score of 2240. The Auburn team has had daily practice for the past three or four months with Sergeant George Mox-ham in charge of the training. The pistol team is a part of the artillery unit of the R. O. T. C, which has for its commandant Major John E. Hatch, and Captains Louis J. Fortier and Louis J."

Douglas Roby, baseball coach, will also help with the football. Kirk Newell is freshman coach. All coaches assist i:; the physical training of freshmen ancj. in the work of the coaching elassts. A course in coaching will be offered during the first summer soHo.il. Auburn will have a director of student activities who will supervise all activities, including athletics. At present it is not definitely known who the activities director will be. It has been suggested that a new athletic field be provided for Auburn. The most logical location seems to be in the natural ampithea-tre in the valley just south of the artillery barn and west of tie pistol range. This plan, if carried &ut, will provide Jfr-r-v-W^Jtteiy—yirrwMsJ^ # velopment, and with minhuiiin co< It is possible to build by the Auburn.* During this time posed plan five football and five v\4juburn has not V k e d below fourthlatirtg J,DalI fle)ds T h i g m j g h t a t"f l r^£1 among the other colleges through- ^seless but ,„ the ^ . ^ Q£ ^ put the United States Some of the largest colleges of the United States appear on the lists of teams defeated this season by Auburn. Among the others of the list is included Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Iowa State, Perdue, Oregon, University of Oklahoma, University of Georgia and Utah. The team personnel includes- James L. McKinnon, captain, Talladega Springs, Ala.; W. B. Wood, Phoenix; J. F. Nettles, Tunnell Springs; J. W. Mcintosh, Carbon Hill; J. H. Reaves, Eufaula; A. R. Swanson, Gadsden; T. B. Wilder, Andalusia; E. F. Harbin, Roanoke; M. B. Smith, Dawson; E. S. Wood, Aquilla, and D. K. Naftel. The latter two named alternate in the matches for the tenth man. W. B. Wood went on record Saturday with the highest score yet made in Auburn. He piled up a total of -131 points out of a possible 448 points in the West Point match. By shooting this record he is graded with a mark of 97 per cent. In the regular army a score of 80 per cent entitles the person firing to the rank of expert pistol shot. Colt's automatic army 45's are used by the team in firing. Radio Station Busy The 5 X A, W M A V station ba> already handled 310 messages this month. This breaks all previous records and entitles this station to membership in the Brass Pounders League. All stations handling as many as 300 messages in one month are eligible to become members jf this league. The telephone broadcasting station has been heard across the continent in daytime.

This will doubtless be a great help in training the two men who will represent Auburn at the annual trai^ and field meet of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at Chicago in June. It might be interesting to note that athletics have this year, tor the first time in the history of the school, gone through without a defioit^ud furthermore, athletics have c « i uted $12,000 to improvemenVof college property and to the purchasing of new equipment.

Two hundred men and women are graduating from Auburn this year, and it is fitting that we think a little on some reasons why students come to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute to complete their education. Arhong the many graduates who have gone out, Auburn can justly claim some of the really successful men of the country. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, commander of; the First Division and later commander of the Second Army of American Troops in Fraiice, is an,alumnus of Auburn. His visit here last year marked a joyous ; Jime in the "Loveliest Village of the Plains." Among those engineers who have attained distinction is Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, Consulting Invention Engineer in New York. He also visited Auburn to pay honor to his Alma Mater. However, for every Hutchi- * yfo, there are thousands of engineers of lesser fame, hut of equal jjmpprtance in carrying on the world's work. Auburn trains men '^^^fixr'ths essentials of iheir chosen profession, so that on entering their particular fieldr-of activity, they are able to cope with the problems that arise.'

There must also be in* terpretfttion. Take.the cases.of Galvani and Volta. Oneday in 1786Galvani touched with his metal instruments the nerves of a frog's amputated hind legs. The legs twitched in a very life-like way. Even when the frog's legs were hung from an iron railing by copper hooks> the phenomenon persisted* Galvani knew that he was dealing with electricity but concluded (hat the frog's legs had in some way generated the wurrenti Then came Volta, a contemporary, who said.in effect; 'Tour interpretation is wrong. Two different metals in contact.with a moist nerve set up currents of electricity. I will prove it without the aid of frog's legs.** Volta piled disks of different metals one on top of another and separated the,. disks with moist pieces of cloth. Thus he gene* rated a steady current. This was (he "Voltaic pile"—the first bat-tery, the.first generator of electricity. Both Galvani and Volta were careful experimenters, but Volta's correct interpretation of effect* gave us electrical engineering. Napoleon was the outstanding figure in the days of Galvani and Volta. He too possessed an active interest in science but only as an aid to Nap»oleon.He little imagined on examiningVc4ta'8 crude battery that its effect on later civilization would be fully as profound as that of his own.dynamic personality. The effects of the work of Gak vani and Volta may be traced through a hundred yean of electrical development even to the latest discoveries maae in the Research Laboratories of the Genr era!

Bat this is not the only thing which will keep the memory of the class green long after its members have left their Alma Mater. * For two things at least it will go down in history, for .the way the class attended all meeting's and for the hearty cooperation given the college authorities in everything they un«isTtop?i to do.

This interest in the future Auburn has again manifested itself in the senior '" memorial, which is to be a gateway. The plans for the Greater Auburn will !be consulted and a fund left in trust ffor the erection of this entrance. There is no phase of college actIvi-« ties in which the class is not repre-sented_ Every athletic team numbers seniors among its members, yet the literary side of college life has not :been neglected, for it was a senior debating team which defeated ~Van-dehbilt this s,pring and many times, next year the dramatic club will feel the loss of the members who left in twenty-three. With all these outside activities the class has still maintained its interest in scholarship. There are twenty-flve members of Phi Kappa Phi, and all other honorary fraternities are [well represented in the senior class. One refreshing 'characteristic of the entire group is their frankness. When they want anything they ask for it, and if they dislike something there is no hesitancy about saying so. The class is progressive and always looking toward the future. They were the first to suggest to the faculty that Auburn should adopt the policy already in vogue in many colleges of omitting the final examinations for seniors. While this idea has not been taken up this year, it is hoped that it will be favorably considered in the near future. It is a large and fearless group .which goes out this year to carry with them wherever they may go the ideals of their Alma Mater and the wonderful "spirit" of Auburn.

The new officers comprising the executive committee of the Students' Club are'W. M. Ray, of Alexander City, manager; D. W Griffin, of Birmingham, collector, and R. V. Ford, of Haniil-ton, head waiter. The new advisory committee consists of- Irving Patrick, W. B- Glenn and G. W. Phillips. . J. L. Lawson, retiring manager of the executive committee of the club, issued the statement this week indk eating the scope of the work of the year just closing. and "outlined some of the things that have been planned for next year. Mr. Lawson and Mr. Ray, the new manager, and other members of the opmmittee have ,been in consultation in regard to the work. -Mr. Lawson said that during the past year approximately 300 boys have been served in the dining hall operated by the Students' Club at a total saving of something like $5,000, the average maximum cost of board to the individual being $18.00. This has been accomplished in spite of the disastrous fire which destroyed the building in which the dining hall was established. The destruction of the building made it necessary to estaD-lish temporary quarters for the dining hall until the. building now occupied by the Students' Club was completed. Considerable equipment was also destroyed in the fire. According to Mr. Lawson the 'club should have an auspioious year beginning, next fall, and it is believed that the average cost of board per individual wil* be materially reduced, provided there are no more disasters such as the fire. New equipment costing something like $1,000 has ; beSn installed. in the! new building lccated between' the* gyin§g£iu,ni and the old veterinary building. "Acoom-modations for approximately, ,500 boys will be provided next year. Twenty students are earning part of their college expenses through .work in the dining hall this yea!r.

One man says about another^—"he is always willing tQ learn," "he doesn't think he knows it all*'—and he intends to pay a high compliment when he.says it. The great engineers We always at school, always learning, always seeking for more knowledge. They begia with this desire for fuller underatandiflg, and they keep it up to the end. Any engineering operation, over aad above the primary purpose for which it is earned out, is an active and post-graduate class in engineering, also. So that Westinghouse,or any other great business, is, of its very nature, a University where theory and practice combine to make bigger, broader and more practical engineers. The courses in this Univer$ity are not limited to prescribed subjects nor terms—- the subjects are almost infinite, and the semesters are endless. Men with the weight of years on their shoulders work and learn side-by-side with those whose day has just dawlred^ This post-graduate school fits men for almost anything. Fits them for it, and makes them continually fitter. Out of this continuing fitness have grown the engineering accomplishments on, which this institution has grown- It jls, per- Jiaps, one of the great educational institutions of its day.

To hold their claims to the southern title now the Tigers must take both of the games in Athens this week. Cram'ton Bowl was a very slippery place Saturday but despite this both teams played some real baseball. Coach White's Red and Black team had their hitting togs on during most of the afternoon and connected with Sheridan's delivery for a total of thirteen hits, while the Auburn boys were touching up Sale for eight. This was the hardest bombardment that the Bessemer lad had experienced ttris year and Sale had a no-hit game to his credit against Virginia on Monday previous to his facing Auburn's ash wielders. , These two mound artists are exepected to face each other again and the second bnt-\ Auburn Cinder Artists Win From Georgia Tech tie between the two Freds should be a thriller; Georgia drew the first blood and pushed across a counter in the initial frame on two bases on balls and a couple of miscues. Clark's three cushion wallup with Middlebrooks on the paths gave Georgia another in the second. Auburn knotted the score in the fourtb on Griffin's double, Sherling's walk, a single by Knowles and a sacrifice fly by Arnall, but the lead was again grabbed off in the fifth by the bulldogs when Thomason doubled took third on Ramsey's single to left and scored on Allen's sacrifice. With two out in the sixth Georgia rallied after Ramsey's fly had been misjudged and went for a triple, the net results of which rally was sufficient to win the game, tbough Auburn scored two more in the seventh. Darkness took the reins at the end of the eighth and the game was called. Box Score. GEORGIA AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Coach Hutsell's track team had their fighting clothes on Saturday, afternoon and sprang a surprise by defeating the Georgia Tech squad by 57 to 55. The meet was featured by many strong finishes and narrow margin wins. Tech jumped off to an eight point lead in the first event when Anderson and Barron took both first and second places in the 100 yd. dash. The lead "was of short duration as the Orange and Blue soon began to pile up the score by taking both places in the mile, the Shotput and the discus. After gaining the lead Auburn was never headed but the jackets managed to tie the count in the next o last eyent, at which time the score stood fifty-two all. As a very befitting climax to the meet, the final event was the deciding one. In this event, the broad jump, Jimmy Pippin made 21 ft. l;-3-4 in. on his first trial which was four inches better than Jimmy Brewster of the Jackets was able to make and the results were a win for Auburn by the narrow margin of two points. —TraueTsoii o'f rfr(nf"Tvas~TUe—tpgtff-point scorer of the day, making ten points and was the only man to finish first in two events. Stallings of Auburn was next with one first and one tie for nine points. Stockl> berg and Brewster each won a first and second place for eight points. One of the big features of the meet was to see Welchel heave the Javelin for a distance of 180 ft. 3 in. Summary. Auburn, 57; Tech, 55. Auburn six first places, nine seconds.

S. 1893, who will deliver the annual alumni address Monday, is [one of a host of Auburn men who have made good. After graduating, Mr. Ashcraft read law one year at Florence, Ala., and then for three years was president of the Geneva Collegiate Institute, Geneva, Ala. In 1897 he returned to Florence where, with three brothers, all of whom are Auburn graduates, he organized the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Company. Later, he assisted in organizing the Florence Cotton Oil Company, Ashcraft Cotton Mills, Pioneer Guano Company, Maury Phosphate Company and the International Agricultural Corporation of which he was director and first general sales manager. In 1910 he removed to Atlanta where he opened the Southern office for the International Agricultural Corporation. He resigned in 1912 and assisted in organizing the Ashcraft-Wilkinson Company of which he is now president. During the World "War Mr. Ashcraft held several responsible positions in the furtherance of the war work, including chairmanship" of the Atlanta Chapter of the Red Cross, member of the National Council of Defense, Sulphur committee, secretaryship of the Georgia State Council of Defense and chairman of its executive committee. At the present time Mr. Ashcraft is president of the Auburn Alumni Association in Atlanta. He is also past president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the S. A, E.

No. 8 AUBURN PISTOL TEAM DEFEATS WEST POINTERS ATHLETIC PLANS FOR NEXT SEASON ARE ANNOUNCED The pistol learn representing the reserve officers (raining corps of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute won over the United States Military academy in a match fired Saturday afternoon it was learned here today upon receipt of a telegram from West Point to the Auburn military authorities announcing the score made by the acad emy. The official score as announe ed here this morning by the Auburn officials was Auburn 2092 and the Military Academy 206.2, which gave the Auburn pistolers a thirty point lead. Auburn's score was out of a possible score of 2240. The Auburn team has had daily practice for the past three or four months with Sergeant George Mox-ham in charge of the training. The pistol team is a part of the artillery unit of the R. O. T. C, which has for its commandant Major John E. Hatch, and Captains Louis J. Fortier and Louis J."

A course in coaching will be offered during the first summer soHo.il. Auburn will have a director of student activities who will supervise all activities, including athletics. At present it is not definitely known who the activities director will be. It has been suggested that a new athletic field be provided for Auburn. The most logical location seems to be in the natural ampithea-tre in the valley just south of the artillery barn and west of tie pistol range. This plan, if carried &ut, will provide Jfr-r-v-W^Jtteiy—yirrwMsJ^ # velopment, and with minhuiiin co< It is possible to build by the Auburn.* During this time posed plan five football and five v\4juburn has not V k e d below fourthlatirtg J,DalI fle)ds T h i g m j g h t a t"f l r^£1 among the other colleges through- ^seless but ,„ the ^ . ^ Q£ ^ put the United States Some of the largest colleges of the United States appear on the lists of teams defeated this season by Auburn. Among the others of the list is included Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Iowa State, Perdue, Oregon, University of Oklahoma, University of Georgia and Utah. The team personnel includes- James L. McKinnon, captain, Talladega Springs, Ala.; W. B. Wood, Phoenix; J. F. Nettles, Tunnell Springs; J. W. Mcintosh, Carbon Hill; J. H. Reaves, Eufaula; A. R. Swanson, Gadsden; T. B. Wilder, Andalusia; E. F. Harbin, Roanoke; M. B. Smith, Dawson; E. S. Wood, Aquilla, and D. K. Naftel. The latter two named alternate in the matches for the tenth man. W. B. Wood went on record Saturday with the highest score yet made in Auburn. He piled up a total of -131 points out of a possible 448 points in the West Point match. By shooting this record he is graded with a mark of 97 per cent. In the regular army a score of 80 per cent entitles the person firing to the rank of expert pistol shot. Colt's automatic army 45's are used by the team in firing. Radio Station Busy The 5 X A, W M A V station ba> already handled 310 messages this month. This breaks all previous records and entitles this station to membership in the Brass Pounders League. All stations handling as many as 300 messages in one month are eligible to become members jf this league. The telephone broadcasting station has been heard across the continent in daytime.

This will doubtless be a great help in training the two men who will represent Auburn at the annual trai^ and field meet of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at Chicago in June. It might be interesting to note that athletics have this year, tor the first time in the history of the school, gone through without a defioit^ud furthermore, athletics have c « i uted $12,000 to improvemenVof college property and to the purchasing of new equipment.

Two hundred men and women are graduating from Auburn this year, and it is fitting that we think a little on some reasons why students come to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute to complete their education. Arhong the many graduates who have gone out, Auburn can justly claim some of the really successful men of the country. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, commander of; the First Division and later commander of the Second Army of American Troops in Fraiice, is an,alumnus of Auburn. His visit here last year marked a joyous ; Jime in the "Loveliest Village of the Plains." Among those engineers who have attained distinction is Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, Consulting Invention Engineer in New York. He also visited Auburn to pay honor to his Alma Mater. However, for every Hutchi- * yfo, there are thousands of engineers of lesser fame, hut of equal jjmpprtance in carrying on the world's work. Auburn trains men '^^^fixr'ths essentials of iheir chosen profession, so that on entering their particular fieldr-of activity, they are able to cope with the problems that arise.' '"...••'••' v Colleges are judged by the men they send out, and by the standards they uphold in their work and athletics. Grantland Rice said: v ifWhen the one Great Scorer comes .,,>.. . To mark against your name ' i " " He writes not that you won o r lost But how you played the game." Auburn oplays clean ahletics.

There must also be in* terpretfttion. Take.the cases.of Galvani and Volta. Oneday in 1786Galvani touched with his metal instruments the nerves of a frog's amputated hind legs. The legs twitched in a very life-like way. Even when the frog's legs were hung from an iron railing by copper hooks> the phenomenon persisted* Galvani knew that he was dealing with electricity but concluded (hat the frog's legs had in some way generated the wurrenti Then came Volta, a contemporary, who said.in effect; 'Tour interpretation is wrong. Two different metals in contact.with a moist nerve set up currents of electricity. I will prove it without the aid of frog's legs.** Volta piled disks of different metals one on top of another and separated the,. disks with moist pieces of cloth. Thus he gene* rated a steady current. This was (he "Voltaic pile"—the first bat-tery, the.first generator of electricity. Both Galvani and Volta were careful experimenters, but Volta's correct interpretation of effect* gave us electrical engineering. Napoleon was the outstanding figure in the days of Galvani and Volta. He too possessed an active interest in science but only as an aid to Nap»oleon.He little imagined on examiningVc4ta'8 crude battery that its effect on later civilization would be fully as profound as that of his own.dynamic personality. The effects of the work of Gak vani and Volta may be traced through a hundred yean of electrical development even to the latest discoveries maae in the Research Laboratories of the Genr era!

Bat this is not the only thing which will keep the memory of the class green long after its members have left their Alma Mater. * For two things at least it will go down in history, for .the way the class attended all meeting's and for the hearty cooperation given the college authorities in everything they un«isTtop?i to do.

This interest in the future Auburn has again manifested itself in the senior '" memorial, which is to be a gateway. The plans for the Greater Auburn will !be consulted and a fund left in trust ffor the erection of this entrance. There is no phase of college actIvi-« ties in which the class is not repre-sented_ Every athletic team numbers seniors among its members, yet the literary side of college life has not :been neglected, for it was a senior debating team which defeated ~Van-dehbilt this s,pring and many times, next year the dramatic club will feel the loss of the members who left in twenty-three. With all these outside activities the class has still maintained its interest in scholarship. There are twenty-flve members of Phi Kappa Phi, and all other honorary fraternities are [well represented in the senior class. One refreshing 'characteristic of the entire group is their frankness. When they want anything they ask for it, and if they dislike something there is no hesitancy about saying so. The class is progressive and always looking toward the future. They were the first to suggest to the faculty that Auburn should adopt the policy already in vogue in many colleges of omitting the final examinations for seniors. While this idea has not been taken up this year, it is hoped that it will be favorably considered in the near future. It is a large and fearless group .which goes out this year to carry with them wherever they may go the ideals of their Alma Mater and the wonderful "spirit" of Auburn.

The new officers comprising the executive committee of the Students' Club are'W. M. Ray, of Alexander City, manager; D. W Griffin, of Birmingham, collector, and R. V. Ford, of Haniil-ton, head waiter. The new advisory committee consists of- Irving Patrick, W. B- Glenn and G. W. Phillips. . J. L. Lawson, retiring manager of the executive committee of the club, issued the statement this week indk eating the scope of the work of the year just closing. and "outlined some of the things that have been planned for next year. Mr. Lawson and Mr. Ray, the new manager, and other members of the opmmittee have ,been in consultation in regard to the work. -Mr. Lawson said that during the past year approximately 300 boys have been served in the dining hall operated by the Students' Club at a total saving of something like $5,000, the average maximum cost of board to the individual being $18.00. This has been accomplished in spite of the disastrous fire which destroyed the building in which the dining hall was established. The destruction of the building made it necessary to estaD-lish temporary quarters for the dining hall until the. building now occupied by the Students' Club was completed. Considerable equipment was also destroyed in the fire. According to Mr. Lawson the 'club should have an auspioious year beginning, next fall, and it is believed that the average cost of board per individual wil* be materially reduced, provided there are no more disasters such as the fire. New equipment costing something like $1,000 has ; beSn installed. in the! new building lccated between' the* gyin§g£iu,ni and the old veterinary building. "Acoom-modations for approximately, ,500 boys will be provided next year. Twenty students are earning part of their college expenses through .work in the dining hall this yea!r.

One man says about another^—"he is always willing tQ learn," "he doesn't think he knows it all*'—and he intends to pay a high compliment when he.says it. The great engineers We always at school, always learning, always seeking for more knowledge. They begia with this desire for fuller underatandiflg, and they keep it up to the end. Any engineering operation, over aad above the primary purpose for which it is earned out, is an active and post-graduate class in engineering, also. So that Westinghouse,or any other great business, is, of its very nature, a University where theory and practice combine to make bigger, broader and more practical engineers. The courses in this Univer$ity are not limited to prescribed subjects nor terms—- the subjects are almost infinite, and the semesters are endless. Men with the weight of years on their shoulders work and learn side-by-side with those whose day has just dawlred^ This post-graduate school fits men for almost anything. Fits them for it, and makes them continually fitter. Out of this continuing fitness have grown the engineering accomplishments on, which this institution has grown- It jls, per- Jiaps, one of the great educational institutions of its day.
