, which greatly facilitated the work

ber will be gladly received by the

alumni who have maintained a warm
interest in the Institute and its af—
fairs since their call to the colors in
the Spring of 1926,” Mr. McAfErey
stated. “They will he very grateful
to learn of the establishment of the
ARMOUR TECH NEWS as a stu-
dent publication and to receive the
first issue thereof, because the paper
indicates in a sense that the Armour
Institute, through its student body,
is taking another step forward rather
than lying dormant, as some have
thought since the completion of the
Maintaincnce Fund drive. For this
reason alone, the News is bound to
have a wholesome cfi'ect. Besides, it
will tend, as a publication of its kind
should, to knit the students closer to
one another and help greatly in the
production of an intense spirit of loy-
alty for the Armour Institute. I will
anxiously await future issues of the
Armour News and watch closely for
its effect among the alumni.”

' About sixty members of the fac—
ulty were dinner guests at the annual
faculty banquet of the Alpha Epsilon
Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma, Wed~
nosduy evening, at the Chapter house,
3420 Michigan Avenue. Dr. Howard

A. W. Sear.

The entertainment provided, in the
form of vocal and piano music, was
much enjoyed. The only note of dis-
appointment that prevailed was due
to the absence of Prof. Schommer,
who was unable to be present because
of his mother’s critical condition.

Since 1910, or five years afitei‘ the
historical flight of the Wright Broth-
ere, Armour Institute has ofiercd
courses in aerodynamics. Due to the
recent increasc in interest and also

‘ tho-.‘dernaud for men versed in avia-

tion engineering, however, the Civil
Engineering department is offering a
course in aerodynamics cud airplane
design which is optional in the sen-
loz‘ year of the 'Civil Engineering
course. This instruction is under the
direction of Professor M. B. Wells
win is a pioneer in the study of aero»
dynamics and airplane design and is
recognized as being well informod on
the practical application and the
mathematical development of the
subject.

Aerodynamics will be given in the
first semester by Professor Wells,
and among the subjects to be taught
in the second semester of the senior
year are “Airplane Design,” given
by Professor Wells, “Avigation (air
navigation)” and “Meteorology,“ by

Professor J. R. Griffith; and “Aero~

nautical Engines,” by Professor D.
C. Roesch.

The Automotive Laboratory has
several hih‘h grade aviation engines
that will be. used in conjunction with
the course in engines. These engines

Henceforth this publication will be
known as the ARMOUR TECH
NEWS, instead of the Armour News,
as was originally planhed. The new
name, it is believed, will better serve
to identify the publication with the
Armour Institute of Technology, and
prevent any mistaken conclusions in
regard to the source of its publica-
tion which may arise) from the fact
that the name of Armour is also con-
nected with many other enterprises
in this city and throughout the coun-
try, several of which have publica-
tions of their own.

Both the staff and the executive
council of the Institute were in favor
of the change.

About 900 Junior and Senior Me-
chanicals and Electricals boarded a
special North Shore train yesterday
for a two-day inspection trip of Mil-
waukee plants.

En route to the Cream City, two
of the North Shore Electric sub sta-
tions were inspected. These new
stations on the Skolcie Valley Route
should be of great interest, since all
are of different; types. The first is
an automatic rotary converter sta-
tion and the second an automatic
mercury rectifier.

Arriving in Milwaukee, the next
inspection was that of the Planking-
ton Hotel, the temporary quarters of
the visitors. From the hotel they
journeyed to West Allis where din-
ner was served in the plant of the
Allis-Chalmers Co. The afternoon
was spent in inspecting the large fac-
tory of that company.

If the first day had been enjoyable
the night must have been even more
so. The evening started out with a
banquet in the Plankington Hotel and
then Armour branch of the A. l. E. E.
had a smoker. At this affair a very
well—balanced program was offered.
Several piano, vocal, and instrument.
al solos, together with some speeches,
completed the program. Representa-
tives of the Cutler~Hammer (30.,
Westinghouse Lamp (70., and the
Milwaukee Association of Commerce
were the speakers of the evening.

Friday’s program should prove to
be as interesting. The day starts
with an inspection of the Milwaukee
Electric Railway. and Lighting C935
Lakeside power plant. This is one
of the most eliicient and up to date
power plants in the Middle West.
1 After dinner at the Plonkington, the
l Electricals will visit the Cutler Ham-
mer plant and the Westinghouse
Lamp works. The Mechaniculs will
travel to the North side to go through
the A. O. Smith Co.’s Automobile
Frame plant. After that, time rew
maining, the Nordherg Engine Works
jor the l—larnischfeger Manufacturing
iCorp. will be inspected. The return
trip to Chicago will be made early
Friday evening.

DlNNER AT EDESON BUlLBlNG

An invitation to be their guest on
the day and evening of Thursday,
May 3, has been extended to the Jun-
iors and Seniors of all departments
of engineering of the Armour Insti-
tute of Technology, by the Illinois
Committee on Clo—operation of Pub-
lic Utility Interests with Educational
Institutions. This committee is com-
posed of representatives from all the
public utility companies in the Chi.
cago district, including the Common—
wealth Edison Co., Peoples Gas Light
and Coke 00., Illinois Bell Telephone
00., Chicago Surface Lines, Chicago
Rapid Transit, North Shore Electric,
South Shore Electric, Public Utility
Company of Northern llfinois, and
the Illinois Power and Light Corporw
tion. The function of this commit-
tee is to take care of all mutxers per.-
tainiug to a closer relation between
the utility interests and educational
institutions. Much is accomplished
in this direction by their interest in
student groups coming on inspection
trips through the city, and the com
mittec frequently does much toward
steering such groups into visiting
places of importance in the city. It

is a ‘d‘ibtih'guished‘honor’to “chests?“ ‘

dents and faculty of the Armour in~
stitute to receive this invitation from
the public utilities committee.

Not only the Juniors and Seniors,
but also a representative number of
the faculty will he guests. The clay
is to be devoted to inspection trips
by class group; to various divisions
of the public utilities represented.
Prof. David P. Moreton, of the Elec-
trical Engineering Department, who
is making the arrangements with the
Illinois committee, will confer with
all the hoods of the departments at
Armour as to which divisions of the
utility properties the students in the
particular departments will find the
most interesting.

In the evening the students will be
guests at a dinner to be served in the
Edison building. At this meeting,
which is to be a very democratic 3:"—
fair, many representatives of all the
utility companies of the district Will
be present. An elaborate program of
speakers and entertainment has been
prepared. The students will be af-
forded an excellent opporlunity to
acquaint themselves both “ith the
uork of the publv: unlities sod u‘“
the men who hold leading positions
in these corporations.
