Monday, May M, WM ARMOUR TECH NEWS Fage Three Homicides fipeahs at Northwestern Takes Part in Contemporary Thought Discussion Dr. Hotchkiss was a participant, last week, in a dialogue on “Educa— tion and the Good Life,” which con- cluded Professor Baker Brownell's course on Contemporary Thought at Northwestern university. The dia- logue was given in two sessions, the first on the Evanston campus in the afternoon, and the second on McKin- lock campus in the evening. Three Viewpoints Given Dr. HOtCl‘llilSS represented the point of view of education given by pro- fessional schools; Dean Addison Hib- bard, of the College of Liberal Arts at Northwestern, the point of View of the arts college; and Mr. J. R. Peterson, 9. recent graduate of North- western and now a student of law, represented the viewpoint of the stu— dent. Both the afternoon and evening program covered the regular college period of fifty minutes. Professor Browncll took two minutes to intro- duce the subject, and each participant was given a total of sixteen minutes elapsed time measured by a stop watch. The participants were sup~ posed to and did interrupt each other freely. Viewpoint in Practice Here The general theme of Dr. Botch- kiss’ remarks was essentially the same as is now embodied in the course of study at Armour, namely: that all worth while education for living in- volvcs preparation for doing some kind of useful work well and at the same time learning how to live satis- factorily with one’s fellowmcn. The ideas put forth were not greatly dif— ferent than those embodied in an ad- dress, “Engineering Education as an Approach to Culture,” which Dr. Hotchkiss gave last June at the for- tieth anniversary meeting of the So- ciety for the Promotion of Engineer» ing Education. This address was pub— lished in the November issue of the Journal of Engineering Education. Professor Brownell’s course in Con- temporary Thought has now been in operation some ten years, and is one of the most successful courses of its kind.

In recognition of this fact, the development committee changes the curriculum from year to year. The problem of changing the course of instruction is a knotty one as no body can predict what type of work a man will do. Another factor which must be considered is that the. stu- dents possess a limited amount of time for assigned work. As evidence of annual changes in curriculum, the dean’s office has a set of semester reports printed only one year ahead of the current year. The semester reports of progress at the Institute are different each year, as many may have noticed and won- dered why. Changes have been made in almost every engineering department. A fact deserving special mention is that an advanced course, differential equa» tions, has been introduced as an elec- tive in the electrical, mechanical, civil, and fire protection engineer— ing courses. This elective will even~ tually become a required subject. Other engineering institutions require three years of mathematical train- ing. The trend in events leads to gen- eralization of highly technical branches of engineering. In view of this fact more and more foreign courses are sprinkled into a particu- lar course with no bad features aris- mg. Plow Pleasant floating for A.zl’.E.E. Ficniclcers At a recent meeting, members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers discussed plans for their picnic to be held May 23 at Indiana Dunes State Park. A sufficient num~ bar of cars have been scheduled to ‘furnish the transportation for all the groups. S. G. Lehmann, the presi‘ dent of the organization, promises that many activities will be arranged to add to the enjoyment of the day. Dean Henld sex, “Take oil any- thing you want to in hot weather, boys, but stop when you get to your poms." But Henryw—m‘cn’! freshmen exempt? Mechanicsls to fine Film by Chrysler Ofi‘icers for the coming your will be elected next Friday by the Ar- mour Branch of the American Sm cicty of Mechanical Engineers, when it meets at 10:30 in Science Hall. Officers of the organization are urging all members to be pres— ent for this important meeting. The following week, on Friday, May 25, the Chrysler Motor Corpo- ration will present a film on the de- velopment of the new “Airflow Chrysler." The various principles in physics and dynamics leading up to the de- velopment of the present model Chrysler will be explained. Oil Distillation Film Shown An interesting motion picture film entitled the “Story 01' Gasoline and Oil" was presented to members of the A. S. M. E. in the assembly hall last Friday. The manufacture of lubricating oils was shown, begin- ning with the selection of crude oils which are sent by pipe to the dis tillation plants. Distillation in the continuous pipe still at the refining plants was shown clearly, steam be- ing used to lower the boiling point in the process to prevent harmful cracking of the oil during the course of refining. Impurities are removed from the oil chemically in the agitators In which the tarry refuse settles to the bottom of the agitator. The oil next passes to the wash tank where water is mixed with it to remove other impurities present. Paraffin in the oil is removed by chilling the oil rap- idly and forcing it under pressure through filters. Oils Graded and Blended Color and further dirt deposits are removed by passing the oil through fullers earth. The oil is pumped to storage tanks and class- ified into different grades ready for the compounding: room. in the com- pounding room, the different grades of oil are mixed to form the requir» ed oil for the specific lubrication problem. The heavier gmdes of oil are thinned with naphtha and again chilled to further remove paraffin and dirt particles. The flash point, viscosity, and pour- ing- properties of the oils are exam— ined and checked by the laboratory to maintain a consistent product 01‘ high quality. u E Frolemssy Nodes l DELTA TAU D LTA Last Saturday, May 12, hundreds of active and alumni members of Delta.

This is the third year of the as» sembly which is held during Youth Week. The student selected to re- ceive an Armour scholarship for the first year was J. B. Pattison, sophm more chemical engineer, who will be at West Point next term. Last year's selection was E. Bodenmsnn. The Civic Assembly is composed of two students from each high school in Chicago; one February graduate, and one June graduate. They are selected on a basis of scholarship and extracurricular ac- tivities. Northwestern university a two scholarships; Chicago university three; and Armour, one. 5 Tonight the chapter will hold 0an House, and the guests and friends who are visiting the Institute are also invited to visit the chapter house. lRlHlO DELTA RHU The fraternity wishes to offer their deepest sympathy to brother Milton Hoffman on the death of his father.
