Bailey, Supt. of Genera— ting Stations of the Commonwealth Edison 00., was the speaker ob— tained by the A. I. E. E. for their meeting of Thursday, Nov. 15, held in Science Hall at 10:30. His topic was the “Fundamental Unit of the Utility Business.” He explained that this fundamental unit is the dollar and is very important. Large utility companies have got to know how soon every dollar in— vested will make its return plus profits. This knowledge is impor- tant because of the overwhelming amount of money invested in equip— ment. To get the maximum out of every invested dollar the load on the generating stations must be di- verse, that is the load must be as evenly distributed over the day as possible. Service, which the customer ex- pects, was defined by Mr. Bailey, as being continuous, uniform voltage and frequency. To obtain this a reserve must be maintained which must be taken into the economics of the utilities. In closing, Mr. Bailey gave some economic disadvantages of water power as a source of energy for producing electricity. Two of these were the varying of amount of water during the year and the in- accessibility of the position of the water supply. Although he made mention of these economic disad— vantages lvlr. Bailey is heartily in favor or the development of hydro- electric plants. Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois Arroy‘oi‘" Noted Educators Present at inauguration of U. E, President DR.

John— ston, chairman of the Auxiliary Committee, who presented his sug— gestions about what the new senior jackets should be like, after the class expressed their desire of hav— ing them. New suggestions were offered from the floor, which the committee would consider in mak- mg their preliminary selection. The chairman of the Jewelry Committee, V. A.
