Professors ’ Eatery
Raised trill/fig. T. by

Increasing Tuition

 

- From the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology newspaper, the
"Tech,” we find that the tuition
there has been raised from $400
dollars to $500 a year to take effect
in the fall of 1931. This is the
second time within three years that
the tuition rate has been increased
at that school. .

.“This action, which has been un-
der discussion for some time, was
taken for the purpose of helping
to meet the increased costs of edu—
cation. The annual operating ex—
penses at the Institute, which in
common with other engineering
colleges, must maintain expensive
technical equipment for instruction,
last year amounted to more than
$850 for each student, compared
with the tuition of $400.

“In 1881 when Technology was
but 26 years old the tuition fee, was
$200 ..... In 1906 it was increased
to $250 a year, and in 1919 to $300
a year. In 1927 it was increased to
$400 a year.”

The increased funds available
will be used for the necessary ex~
pauses and also for providing a
higher salary schedule for the in-
structing staff. It was stated that
the Institute loses a great many
men because of its inability to pay
them attractive salaries.

A similar situation prevails at Ar~
mour, according to President Ray—
mond and the Deans. The ratio is
about the same as far as tuition
and cost per student per year is
concerned. The school spends $530
on each student each year, while
the tuition remains at $250 a year.
At Armour Institute, the tuition
has risen steadily. From 1894 to
1896 the tuition was $60, the ex-
penses of the school being borne
almost entirely by the Armour fam-
ily. In 1896 the tuition was raised
to $75, in 1902 to $120 dollars, in
1909 to $125, in 1913 to $150, in
1915 to $175 dollars, in 1919 to $180,
in 1920 to $200, and in 1925‘to the
present rate of $250 a year.

President Samuel W. Stratton, of

”the Mass. Inst. of Tech, in com—
menting on the increased rate of
tuition stated that “The men we
have on the Faculty have stayed
with us through loyalty more than
anything else, considering that they
could make much more outside,
and the Corporation feels that they
should get a salary commensurate
with that paid other workers in the
same field."

Design Contact
Closes aFan. 27

The Collaborative Competition
sponsored by the Association of the
Alumni of the American Academy
in Rome closes on January 27th.

This year, the competition con-
sists of the design of the “Interior
of a Sanctuary” for the body of the
late President Woodrow Wilson
which is now temporarily buried in
Washington. “A group of his
friends desire to erect for him and
his family a final resting place that
shall typify what this man repre-
sented to them—a great sociologist
and idealist who labored and de-
voted his life to the furtherance of
international peace and tolerance.”

The competition is open to any
group of students in schools of art
or ateliers, or to anyone employed
in offices or studios. Each team
consists of an architect, an artist,
and a sculptor. This year Armour
is represented by M. R. Dobberman
and R. R. Falconer, senior archis
teats. The other members of the
two teams consist of students from
the Art Institute.

A first place will be awarded, but
there will. be no monetary prize.
Last year H. Turk, ’29, and A. Griz—
evsky, ’29, received a First and Sec—
ond Mention respectively. The
problem then consisted of design—
ing and making a model of the
“Interior nf a Salon on the Largest
Ship Afloat." The contest was won

, by Euston of Yale, a finalist in the
z‘izl‘st Paris Price Competition.

 

The registrar of the University of
Washingtgon reports that 83 per cent
of the men attending that institution
are working their way through col-
lege or at least paying part of their
own expenses.

Designs To Be Exhibited
in Art Galleries
Elsewhere

SHOW RlSlNG ENTEREST

The War Memorial Designs which
have been exhibited at the Art In—
stitute and Burnham Library for
the past month will now be taken
on tour to art galleries and archi—
tectural leagues in New York, In-
dianapolis, St. Louis and other
cities.

Professor Earl H. Reed, .111, tech—
nical adviser to the war memorial
committee, states that “not in years
has an architectural competition
brought out so much notable and
noble effort." The designs show a
heartening tendency to express to-
day rather than antiquity.

The estimates of the cost of put—
ting into granite and marble of the
prize winning design of the firm of
Gugler and Bailey of New York
City range from two million to five
million dollars. The raising of the
funds will be by veterans of the
world war and by the community
as a whole.

The most notable of the 114 de-—
signs submitted will be ultimately
issued in book form “because" as
the eminent architect John Mead
Howells put it, “they are a vital
contribution to American architec»
ture."

The island on which the memo-
rial will be erected will lie four
hundred feet from the shore line
of Grant Park and dire ly oppo—
site the Buckingham foil tain.
, The island will be connected to
Grant Park by means of causeways
which may for convenience be de—
scribed as extensions of Van Enron
and Harrison streets. They will
lead to the side of the memorial
facing the east.

The columns or piers of the Chi—
cago memorial will be 96 feet high.
The total h ‘ ‘ oi; the structure
from the wat lei/bl will be the
equivalent of an ill—story office
building. The piers will be sur-
rounded by two rows of_ trees.

ciated, or the engineers are not well
enough organized,” he said, “the
engineering profession is one of the
poorest paying professions today.
Therefore, use engineering only as
a stepping stone to greater things.
After graduation, don’t stop study-
ing. Take up such courses as pub-
lic speaking and political economy,
and broaden your viewpoint and
education if you want to get into
the big money."

Dr. Raymond gave several in-
stances of alumni and former stu—
dents who had broadened their
viewpoint, and had made good by
doing so.

Professor McCormack then arose
to answer some of Schommer’s as—
sertions. He said, “If the desire for
money is what I have created in
my students by my teaching. then
I have failed in my purpose. If
you men get jobs in which you are
interested, make a fair salary, and
are happy, I will term you success“
ful. Success is not to be measured
by the salary an individual can
draw."

The toastmaster then announced
that a card room was available and
the most pretentious banquet ever
given by the chemicals was a mem-
ory.

At a meeting of the American
Physical Society whiCh was in ses—
sion with the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
and Associated Societies, held in
Des Moincs, Iowa on December 31,
Professor D. E. Richardson, instruc-
tor in the Electrical Engineering
Department, gave a-paper on “Re-
sistance of an electrolytic conduc—
tor at various frequencies.” The
paper was a summary of Professor
Richardson’s thesis on “Experimen-
tal Verification of the Theoretical
Skin-effect Equation, for an Elec—
trolytic Conductor" which be pre—
pared for his M. S. degree at the
University of Chicago.

Resistance Varies With Frequency

The problem presented in the
paper was that the resistance of a
conductor, as defined by the ratio
of electrical energy converted into
heat and the square of the current,
is a function of the frequency of
the current because of the non:
uniform current density throughouti
the cross—section of the conductor»
Classical electrical theory offered
an equation for this skin effect and
this has been verified for metallic
conductors for frequencies up to

by Prof. Richardson was that the
resistivity of this electrolytic con-
ductor is independent of the fre-
quency up to eight megacycles,
since this assumption was made in
the derivation of the equation.
Measurements of the currents were

Last Tuesday. January 14322, the
Armour Branch of the Assam
Institute of Chemical Engineers
heard a very interesting talk on
“Heat Transfer” by Mr. E. W. Tniele
of the Standard Oil Company,
Whiting, Indiana. The scheduled
speaker Mr. Walter G. Whitman,
was unable to appear, so he sent
his assistant, Mr. 'Illiele. After the
lecture, the students brought up
problems which they had encoun-
tered in their investigations on the
subject and solutions were amazed
by Mr. ‘Thiele. The meeting was
characterized by its good attend—
ance.
