What’s Ahead @l" Us?

Undoubtedly there exists in the mind of every Ar—
mour student a question—tucked away in the corner,
perhaps, but present nevertheless—as to just what
the world will expect of him after graduation. He is
constantly asking himself what this world of engi—
neering is really like; this world about which we hear
so many conflicting reports. He is wondering which
of his numerous studies are most essential to his suc-
cess in engineering or in some kindred field. His
curiosity on this subject is quite logical and entirely
pardonable and should be satisfied as completely as
possible.

An address presented recently at Lehigh University
by Bancroft Gheiardi, vice-president and chief en-
gineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, may offer an answer to these questions His
statements bear weight since the vast number of col-
lege graduates employed by the Bell System makes
him thoroughly conversant with the qualifications
and. shortcomings of such men.

According to Mr. Gherardi, there are four chief
characteristics essential to any successful engineer.
First, he must have the perception and imagination
clearly to understand the problems he meets. Such
11min ‘ calls for ‘ ‘ an nd '

Second, he must be able to study such problems in
a systematic and efficient manner.

Third, he must have the ability to determine the
appropriate action to be taken in the matter, a. keen
sense of justice being required for this; and fourth,
he must know how to take that action at the right
time and in the proper manner.

Mr. Gherardi advocates a general foundation in
mathematics and physics and “materials which will
enable him [the student] to solve the special prob—
lems that come before him by getting the factsmand
then reasoning from them correctly.” Teaching of
facts beyond the fundamentals is not necessary, that
time being; spent more profitably in a thorough drill
in the methods of attacking problems of various kinds.

In his address, Mr. Gherardi stressed the study of
English and gave as his opinion that the ability to
write clear convincing English was absolutely neces-
sary to the successful engineer. He also said that the
knowledge of at least one foreign language was quite
important.

In closing he pointed out that accuracy and care-
fulness could not be overemphasized. “Many students,”
he said, “are of the opinion that arithmetical errors
are not as important as errors of method or reason—

A traveller was walking along a lonely road whén
he came across an old man. Addressing him, he
asked how long it would take to get to the next
lage. But the man went on with his work, neither
speaking nor looking up. The traveller went on his
way.
He had not gone far when he heard a call:
“Hey, mister! Come Back!” .1
When the traveller returned, the old man said: ;
“It'll take you twenty minutes.’ r
“Why didn’t you tell me that when I asked you?”
“How did l know how fast you was goin’ to walk?”

replied the old man.

If you get pleasure in seeing a
young man’s beaming countenance
become clouded, just walk through
the freshman architectural room
and nonchalantly mention some—
thing about the treshman initia—
tion. It is now the topic of the day
The exact date has not been set as
yet, but it will most likely be in
the last of March.
The Armour Architectural So—
ciety sponsors the initiation. Each
year the freshman class is brought
into the society with the junior
class officiating. The juniors elect
a massier who takes full charge of
all the activities and is toastmaster
at the banquet which follows the
initiation. This year’s massier is
our well—known cartoonist, Dave
Chapman. The banquet is a gala
affair, usually held at the Archi-
tectural Sketch Club, and the Archs
have been fortunate in getting
many brilliant and fascinating
speakers in previous years. Final
date and arrangements will be pub-
lished later.

your paddles! (A word to the wise
is sufficient).

In the judgment on the senior
project which was a “University

of the boys came through with
either mentions or half—mentions.
In New York the judgment was ex—

rated. These were Rosen and Mali.

The Question: What do you
think of the idea of the Senior—
Jlunior and the Sophomore-Fresh-
man combinations for putting on
dances rather than the individual
class dance as has been the pre-
vious practice?

Charles Link. M. E. ‘31—While
the plan might be feasible in the
light of present financial canal-
tions of the classes, it would un-
doubtedly be detrimental to estab—
lished social policy on that it would
reduce the amount of social actin
ity that is already quite small.

Stanley Lind, Ch. E. ’RZ—nNot so
good. There is not enough social
life at Armour now. Each class can
afford a dance it correct manage—
ment is practiced on the part of
the social committees.

Harold Bodlnson, F. P. E. tit—If
a particular class is financialy able
to aflord a dance every year, it
should be the practice of that class
to sponsor a dance annually. Each
class should be in charge of its
own affairs and at the same time
