explanation is that sometimes the same story has been
used once or that it cannot be used due to its very
nature, or even, the column might have been made up
for the next week. But don’t get disgusted, keep on
sending them in, the more the merrier; and to see
them the following week have them in by Wednesday

that it wouldn't sound like an editorial, if it does.

Charles flit/Word

(A Biographical Sketch)
BY CHARLES BLAHNA, ’31

Oliver Charles Clifford, associate
professor of electrical engineering,
was born in Wadsworth, Ohio, on
February 4, 1870. From grade
school he went to Oberlin Acad-
emy and then to Oberlin college. In
1893, he received his A.B. degree
from the latter, and immediately
followed this up by a two—year en—
gineering course at Cornell Uni—
versity.

After leaving Cornell, he went to
China, where he taught school for
the Imperial Chinese government.
After the Boxer rebellion he was in
charge of some eight or nine hun-
dred men while building a school
there. The uncharged shells were
used for making the necessary
beams and truses. In 1904 Profcs~
sor Clifford returned to Chicago
and attended the University of
Chicago for two years. In 1907 the
degree of Ph. D. was conferred
upon him by that University. The
thesis which he presented at the
time was on the “Susceptibility of

 

Copper and Tin Alloys.” Later he.

studied the hysteresis effect in
Heusler alloys with Professor A. A.
Knowlton. Strange to say these
magnetic alloys are composed of
copper, manganese, and aluminum,
each of which alone is non-mag—
netic when pure.

Professor Clifford came to Ar—
mour as an instructor in physics in
1906. Three years later he was
transferred to the electrical de—
partment and promoted to the
ra of Associate Professor.
Teaching has continued to occupy

The chapter held its annual

his time almost completely, since
he also has several evening classes.
While he was in China, in 1833,
he met Jennie R. Coltman from
Colorado and they were married in
Shanghai. Their children are two
girls and a boy. One girl is mar—
ried and living in Colorado, while
the other is teaching Latin and
Greek at Sophie Newcomb College
of Tulane University, New Orleans.
The son is working for the City
Service Company as an oil geolo—
gist with headquarters in Okla—
