Armour Lecture
Bureau is Active

Send Faculty Members To
Local Preparatory Schools

 

Three years ago Armour Institute
of Technology established a lecture
bureau for the purpose of acquaint-
ing the seniors of the various Chi-
cago high schools who are interested
in technical and scientific work, with
the opportunities for education along
these lines that are available at
Armour. Twenty eight men on the
executive and faculty staffs compose
the committee that handles the work
of this bureau.

Schools Have “College Day"

At present it is the practice in the
majority of Chicago and neighbor-
ing high schools to have a so called
“College Day”, a day devoted to giv-
ing the students a contact with sev-
eral colleges and universities. On
this day, the student body is intro-
duced to the representatives of about
thirty educational institutions who
are provided with booths where they
can answer questions and present in—
formation concerning their particular
school. The work of the lecture bu»
reau at Armour is to send a repre»
sentative to those high schools that
provide a college day, and to others
as well.

Representatives at: 20 Schools

Since last September, Armour In-
stitute of Technology has been rcp-
rcsented at twenty of these meetings,
and there are twelve similar meet-
ings to which Armour has been re»
quested to send a delegate before
the end 01‘ the semester.

Those high schools to which repre-
sentatives from Armour have been
sent since the beginning of the school
year are as follows: Maine Town-
ship, Austin, Calumet, Crane Tech,
Harrison Tech, Lindblom, Schn, Til~
den Tech, Dcerlieldfihields, Uienbard
Township, Lane Tech, Parker, Mc-
Kinley, Hyde Park, Hirsch, Bowen,
Amundsen, Evanston Township, Riv-
erside-Brookfield, and North Park
college.

In support of this work, Professor
(,3. E. I’aul, chairman of the lecture
buriau, said, “The fact that Armour
Institute 01 Technology has not exv
perienced any decrease in student cn~
rollment in the last few years, as
many other colleges and universities
have, shows that this bureau is ac—
complishing much."

Glance into Past Will
Refresh Soph’s Minds

With Junior Week looming ahead,
a step back into the past to review
what has gone on before, to recall
pleasant or unpleasant memories, as
the case may be, is perhaps appro-
priate. Then again it gives the fresh-
men an idea of what to expect.

In the rush, the freshmen of last
year defeated the sophomores of that
year by a score of 58-0, though the
odds in numbers were greatly on
the freshmen side.

In the inter-fraternity relay, the
Triangles won. Theta Xi won the
fraternity Sim); and Triangle won
the inter-fraternity track meet.

The class relay was won by the
junior class, and the sophs defeated
the freshmen in indoor baseball.

The week was closed by the final
social function, the Junior Formal.
So ended another school year with
nothing to worry about but the
finals.

Does precedent mean anything?

The essays were to contain scien-
tific material pertaining to electrical
engineering and were to be at least
2500 words long.

The best, based on quality of ma«
terial, literary style, and neatness,
will be published in the fall issue
of the “Engineer," and its author
will receive a “Standard Handbook
for Electrical Engineering” with his
name engraved on it. The subjects

Two talks in a series of broad-
casts sponsored by the Men Teach~
ers’ Union of Chicago were given
by members of the faculty of Ar»
mour Institute last week over station
WCFL. Dean H. T. Heald spoke
Thursday afternoon on “The Engi-
neering Age," and Professor J. C.
Peebles talked Friday on “Technical
and Engineering Education." Dean
Penn was originally scheduled to
give the Friday talk, but was forced
by a severe cold to withdraw.

The entire series of broadcasts is
planned to emphasize the need for
maintaining a stable and forward
looking educational system, and Ar-
mour Institute was asked to partici-
pate in relating this need specifical-
ly to the technical fields. Dean
Heald outlined on Thursday the in-
creasing importance of engineering
achievements in the modern world
and the need for properly prepared
men, and Professor Peebles follow—
ed this by pointing out the necessity
for thorough preparatory training
for students wishing to enter an on-
gineering college.
