A group of senior and junior ar- chitects enjoyed the distinguished honor of being‘ guests at the home of Robert J. Cuscy, feature writer for , the Chicago Daily News, last Wed’ Iiicsday eveninv, November 14. Mr. Casey showed them a series’of mov- ing, pictures which he took in India a year ago on aprivatc expedition through the Oriental countries. . Invites Group to Home The occasion was prompted by Wil— liam N. Alderman, ’80, who was seek- ing a source of authentic information pertaining to the Architecture of an Assyrian Temple, which was assigned to him to draw as a Beaux Art design . problem. Having heard of Mr. Ca— sey’s trip, he decided to inquire of him for the-information he wanted, and as a result a party consisting of Dean Banta, ’30, Charles Ware, ’29, I and Joe Durant, ’31, and Alderman, was invited to the writer‘s home to view a series of motion pictures on " the subject. Built 3000 Years “Ago The most interesting part of the information was a picture, along with Casey’s lucid description of its his- tory, of the ancient Indian temple of Ankor Vat, built three thousand years ago, and then lost to posterity until it was discovered completely hidden by thick wood about sixty years ago. Was World’s Largest City _ When the edifice was erected, it was surrounded by the city of Ankor 'Vat, at that time the largest city in the world. This city was further ad- vanced towards civilization than any other city for the next two thousand years. The inhabitants carried on trades and commerce, their wealth was positively amazing. Every citi— zen of that remarkable city had at least three slaves. These menials, tiring of the suppression of their lords, banded together and revoltcd against the upper classes. The up— rising was so successful that the up- per classes were overthrown, and slaughtered by the thousands. The slaves disseminated to the forests from which they had been dragged by their conquerors. The result was that the city rapidly disentcgrated in- to nothing more than a camp, and the jungle started its slow march back over the buildings and streets. In a few hundred years, the city was com- pletely hidden by the thick growth, and remained unknown to modern man until the last century. Roads Described ' The temple is remarkable in that the only material used in its construc- tion is stone, without even cement of any kind. The structure still stands as sturdy as when just completed. Leading up to the edifice are several roads, which at the time of their dis- covery were completely overgrown with plant life. After being cleared and again made passable, they were found to be most remarkably smooth and solid, and unsurpassed by any of our modern thoroughfares in sur- face and strength. Automobiles now used on these roads travel smoothly and comfortably at fifty miles an hour. These roads, in perfect con- dition after three thousand years of aging", form a wonderful tribute to the engineering skill of these races. Robert J. Casey is a former stu- dent of Armour Tech, having studied civil engineering for two years. It is superfluous to add that Alderman got the information which he needed to help him with his design problem. You Are Always Welcome ‘ at. the Silver Gray Restaurant 3102 So.

I’m an old Discuss Molecules At Chemical Gathering At the November meeting of the American Chemical Society, Dr. E. B. Freud, the chairman, introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Ed- ward Mack of Ohio State University. His subject was “The Size and Shape of Molecules.” It was only during the last gener— ation that the existence of molecules was established. Dr. Mack said that although no one has ever seen an atom or molecule, the knowledge of their sizes and shapes is rapidly ac- cumulating'. Among the methods Dr. Mack pointed out for the study of the size and shapes of these tiny particles are: ,, l) X~Ray examination of crys« tals, both organic and inorganic; 2) The investigation of the struc- ture of oil films; 3) The measurement of the vis- 4) The velocity of the diffusion of vapors; 5) The viscosity of solutions. The last two are Dr. Mack’s contri- bution to the field. M. P. Johnson, George Grapple, and George Parkhurst, A. I. T. alum‘ ni, were among those attending, as were about ten Armour students.

Last Monday night at a joint meet- ing of the Chicago Section of the A. I. E. E. and the Western Society of Engineers held in the Engineering Hall, Dr. John B. Taylor, a consult- ing engineer for the General Electric Company, gave a lecture and demon~ stratiofi of the transmission of sound by light rays and the transformation of light into sound. An audience of over 600 persons gave perfect atten- tion to a fine analysis of the wave motions of sound and light, and gave enthusiastic response to the roar of. a lighting match and the loud hum of an incandescent lamp on alternating current. World’s Fair Discussed Preceding the lecture was a talk by Mr. Charles S. Peterson, Vice President of the Chicago World's Fair, upon this huge undertaking. The plans, accomplishments and hopes of the committee were ex— plained by Mr. Peterson. , Earlier in the evening, the officers of the Chicago Section tendered the- npeakers a dinner at the Lake Shore Athletic Club. At this dinner, as guests of Mr. P. B. Juhnke, Chairman of the Chicago A. I. E. E. Section, were C. J. McDonald of Armour, and A. Gaimari of Lewis Institute. These chairmen of the Student Branches at their respective schools were invited ——-to quote Mr. Juhnke»“as the first step in an attempt of the Chicago Section to cooperate with and assist the two Student Branches within its jurisdiction to secure the fullest ben- efits of membership in the A. I. E. .” McDonald was very much pleased with the treatment received and expressed a hope that a consid— erable measure of cooperation might be initiated between the Armour Branch and the Lewis Branch, as well as with the Chicago Section of the A. I. E. E. Professor E. H. Free— man, Head of the Electrical Engi— neering Department, and V. C. Mi— ronowicz, ’29, 13.13., were also present at the meeting. on news ' ' .5322; Hear Enrico); @f R. R. Engineering 1i" field “Railroad Engineering” was the subject of a talk given by Professor R. L. Stevens, ’08, of the Department of Civil Engineering,,at a meeting of the Western Society of Engineers held last Friday in Science Hall. The speaker was introduced by Ed Mohr, ’29, president of the student branch. In opening Professor Stevens said. “In previous years railroading ab~ sorbed most of the available engi— neering talent. Today, in spite of the great improvements along other lines of endeavor, there is still a large demand for engineers in railroad work.” Professor Stevens analyzed the sit- uation in which a graduate engineer finds himself when starting to work for the railroad. The work divides itself into two portions, the field work and the office work. The former more often attracts the younger men be— cause of its apparent glamour, where~ as the office division ()1?ch a much better chance for advancement into the higher positions of the organiza- tion. Valuation engineering is a rel- atively new and very important branch of engineering application that is now an important division in the drganization of all railoads. It was pointed out by Professor Stevens that in order to succeed in such a. large organization or to pre— vent ”being shelved” it is necessary to keep one’s ideas before the organ- ization. After the talk, Ed Mohr announced that there will be a Society Smoker on December 12. The place will be determined later. mmmmmxmimuwlwnwimrwu .
