An Engineering Education

At last we have an opportunity to make
known our feelings concerning a very timely
matter which has to do with our present occupa-
tion of attending a reputable engineering school;
and preparing ourselves for our life work. They
opportunity is occasioned by the appearance inl

P’Hl LAMBDA UPSILON
Honorary Chemical Engineering
Fraternity

Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary

chemical engineering fraternity, was

founded by the senior chemistry stu—
dents at the University of Illinois in
1899. Their purpose in founding the
fraternity was to install chapters of

the society in other institutions; with

the object of promoting- high scholar-
ship and orig-incl investigations in
all branches of pure and applied
chemistry. This policy wan follow-
ed, and, to date. charters have been
granted to twenty~eight active chap-

ters. and one alumni chapter. The
total membership is about four
thousand.

Through the efforts of two mom
bers of the faculty, Professor C. A.
Tibbals and Mr. F. C. Smith, an inv
structor in chemistry at that time,
Omicron chapter of Phi Lambda Upa
silon was installed at Armour In-
stitute of Technology in 1920. Both

The faculty of the electrical engi~

spending; a very busy week—end last

visited the electrical department of
Purdue University, inspecting: its
equipment and 9.130 its radio station.
From there they went to the Umver~

trical show was in progress. Others

The object of the exhibit is to ac-
