Vol. “I
THIS lSSUE IN CHARGE OF D. T. SMlTH

NEW CAPTAIN, NEW CHE W

With this issue, the new staff of the News makes its
official bow to the audience of Armour students and
alumni. For a brief year this group of men will
endeavor to place before the readers the news of the
school and its associated activities.

It is only natural that there will be some change in
the method of presentation of news matter, and of
"make-up.” The creative work of any two men is
bound to differ. The attempt to copy another’s style,
while at the same time to achieve worthy results, is
futile. Each must do as he thinks best. Similarly
the work of two different staffs will not be alike. The
new staff hopes that the standards of excellence to
which it strives will prove to be as high as those set
by its predecessor.

However, the fundamental policies, determined
after much consideration last year, will be continued.
It is the aim of this paper to present all the happen»
ings of the school in an unbiased manner, catering to
no one person or groups of persons. It is our aim to
serve the student body as a whole, irrespective of per—
sonal friendship. If we discover faults, we shall feel
it our duty to tell about them; the praiseworthy oc-
currences that we observe will also be reported. In
all things, we shall strive to be honest and above
board. May we find a similar honesty in the affairs
which we observe.

HONOR MEN

Last week, the Board of Control of the A. T. A. A.
selected, according to their opinion, the ten most out-
standing men in the Senior class. These men were
taken from a group of twenty who had the highest
rating in activities and scholarship. Admitting that a
slight personal equation enters into the judgment of
the Board, we may safely say that these men are
examples of the type of men with the highest achieve—
ments in the class.

To make the brilliant record in activities which each
did, and at the same time to keep a high scholastic
standing, requires not only exceptional ability but a
large quantity of hard work. They paid for these
honors in the sacrifice of many hours time which
might otherwise have been spent in more pleasant
occupations, in the foregoing of many pleasures and
amusements.

To balance this, the public approbation and honor
is a reward to these men for their four years‘ endea-
vor. The school appreciates what these men have
done to foster athletics, publications, musical organ-
izations, social activities, and other kindred activities.

The joy that comes with the accomplishment of a
hard task goes to repay these men. The pride in re—
sults felt by those who do creative work is worth as
much as public praise.

But the greatest reward comes, not in public ap—
proval, nor in joy or pride, but in the benefits of
development of character and ability which such work
imparts. The executive training and the mental dis-

Edward Part!

(A Biographicltl Slrc It'll)

BY STEPHEN JANHSZEWSKl,
’30

 

Charles Edward Paul, Head of
the Department of Mechanics, was
born in Belfast, Maine, December
6, 1876. In Belfast he spent his
early boyhood, attending the ele—
mentary schools there and grad-
uating from a local high school.

He is next found at the Massa—
chusetts Institute of Technology,
taking Mechanical Engineering
course. He graduated with the
class of 1900, receiving his SB. de—
gree in Mechanical Engineering.

For three years, following his
graduation, Prof. Paul worked as a
designer of machinery and sales
engineer. This work terminated in
1903 when he accepted the position
of Assistant Professor of Mechani-
cal Engineering at the Kansas
State Agricultural College, at Man-
hattan, Kansas. He taught there
until 1905.

In 1905, Prof. Paul was married
to Mary E. Yenawine, of Manhat-
tan, Kansas.

From 1905 to 1907, the New Mex-
ico State College had him listed on
its faculty as Professor of Mechan—
ical Engineering, in charge of
courses in mechanical, electrical,
and civil engineering.

In 1907, Prof. Paul was a Profes—
501' of Mechanics and in charge of
a newly established Department of
Mechanics and Materials of Con—
struction, at the Pennsylvania
State College.

Prof. Paul came to Armour in
1908 as an Associate Professor of
Mechanics. In 1914, he became
Professor of Mechanics, in charge
of the Department, which was es-
tablished at Armour Institute in
1914 by concentrating work which
was formerly given in the Mechan-
ical, Civil, and Mathematics De—
partments.

Since 1908, Prof. Paul has been a
consulting engineer, specializing in
industrial construction and mate—
rials of construction. During a pe-
riod of five years, from 1910 to 1915,
he held the position of associate
editor on two engineering publica-
tions. The American Builder and
The Commit World. He was com
struction engineer for the National
Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion from 1915 to 1921. Prof. Paul
is the author of many technical
articles and pamphlets relating to
buildmg construction, concrete,
lumber, estimating, and contract~

mg.

Prof. Paul holds membership in
the American Society for Testing
Materials, the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, the Ameri-
can Society of Civil Engineers, the
American Railway Engineering As—
sociation, the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, the Western So—
ciety of Engineers, the American
Wood Preservers Association, and
the Society for the Pmmotion of
mineeriug Education. Prof, Paul
is active in committee work in
these societies and is chairman of
several leading committees.

Be is a member of three frater-
nities, Theta Xi. Tau Beta Pi, and
the Sphinx. He also belongs to the
University Club of Chicago and is
the President of the Armour Insti-
tute Faculty Club.

g and nutcmobiling are
Prof. Paul’s real hobbies, while the
position of faculty adviser of the

 

Cycle helps to occupy his time.

WHERE THE PAVEMEM
ENDS

1N DARK. PLACES
Books by John Eussefi

The short story is undue ted}?
the type of story most useiul to an
Armour man seeking to relieve the
strain of studying. The more vivid
and attractive the story, the more
rested he will become; a dish’znct
change of atmosphere is desired.

John Russell has written two
volumes of short stories that are
different from the average mm met

mli‘oraries. His subject matter is
limitless, though he favors stories
laid in the unknown regions of the
Eastern Archipeligo. His two books,
“Where the Pavement Ends” and
“In Dark Places” are similar in
technique, and form a closely‘lmit
pair.

His writing is faintly simflazr to
the O’Henry style, having a queer
twist in the end, but he avoids hav—
ing the climax in the conclus’ou as
does O’Henry. The endings have a
tang that leaves one rather pen-
sive, pleased, and ever so slightly
intrigued by the skill of the author.
No two are in any way alike; and,
though it cannot be said for most
writers, there is no drawn-out in.—
troduction to each tale. The read—
er is at once absorbed in the tale,
and such is the author’s cunning
that you do not feel isolated in be.
ginning a new incident.

Tragic and humorous incidents
are intermixed with abandon, but
the stories are never 217511211258.
Anyone at random can be read,
and enjoyed, for the subjects are
new, and usually can be classed as
exotic. Men of all natures, good,
bad, and indifferent, are held. be-
fore you, dissected, and amused to
spin their lives on the page.
Brown men and white, and some
on the borderline are portrayal;
and the characters in their varied
guises are worth the reading.
