M Mr. 0. Gordon Erickson, the director, is planning a program which is destined to surpass even the quality of last year’s per— formance. New soloists, both instru— mental and vocal, will supplement the program. Although the program is not as yet complete, Mr. Erickson promises one which will be found fa- vorable by lovers of all types of mu— me. No. l~ Arrangement by Danforth One of the most outstanding fea- tures of the evening will be the glee club’s rendition of George Gershwin’s “Summertime" from his musical coma edy “Porgy and Bess.” The arrange- ment of this selection was made by George Danforth, the club pianist, who is a sophomore architectural stu- dent. Guests at Hotel La Salle In one year, the clubs have attained such a reputation that already the number of tickets is quite limited. Mr. vHonomries Banquet At Adventurer’s Club ‘ About one hundred of the school’s outstanding students were guests at the interhonorary banquet held last night at the Adventui‘er‘s Club, 14‘ North Michigan Boulevard. The ban~ i (plot is an annual event staged for{ the honmai-y men of Armour Tech.1 The fraternities represented werez‘ Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, Chi Ep~ ‘ silon, Phi Lambda Upsilon, Eta Kap-i pa Nu, Salamander, Sphinx, Pi Nu‘ Epsilon, and Honor ‘A.’ ; Andrew N. Rebori of the Armourl class of 1911 was the guest speaker at the banquet. Mr. Rebori is a well . known architect of Chicago. Dr. W.‘ i E. Hotchkiss, Dean H. T. Heald, and Dean C. A. Tibbals were also guests at the banquet. Of particular inter- est to the banqucteers was the ar- rangement of the exclusive club. Ex— ‘hibitions from the darkest parts of Africa to the lightest part of Alaska are contained in the famous world- wide collections. New Fresh given @rientation Tests, ”N Erickson urges all those who hovel not as yet obtained their tickets to get them from W. F. Schreibcr as soon as possible as the available num- ber is rapidly diminishing. Mr. Erickson, feeling that the eve- ning is not complete with the finale of the concert, has made arrange- ments for the Musical Club members and the guests to make reservations in the Blue Fountain Room of the Hotel La Salle after the concert. HOTCHKISS URGES INTERRELA TION OF ED UCA TIONAL USES “Learning to live and learning to make a living have virtually the same objective," pointed out Willard E. Hotchkiss, president of Armour, in an . article last Saturday in the Chicago Daily News. The article appeared on the Schools and Colleges page of the Daily News, a Saturday feature of that paper. On this page appear ar- ticles by leading educational author— ities on current pedagogical prob- lems. In reconciling an apparent differ- ence between learning to live and learning to make a living, Dr. Hotch- kiss cited the two countries, Germany and Britain, which were held up at the turn of the century as exemplary of high standards in public service. in Britain, life proceeds on the as- sumption that a person trained in ap- propriate fundamentals will find his level in the field of activity he en—l ters and will learn when the time comes to do what has to be done. In ante-bellum Germany. on the other hand, preparation for careers in— volved an efi’ort to anticipate special- ized techniques required and an effort to master them in advance. Tells Aims of Education After a discussion of the relative merits of the two techniques, Dr. I-Iotchkiss stated that a definite effort is now afoot for educational methods to balance cultural and vocational ob— jectives in such a way that learning to live and learning to make a living may advance hand in hand. Educa- tion has the task of developing the mind and helping to build the char- acter and personality. It involves (Con, ‘mcd on page three) Senior Jewelry Will Arrive During Week Senior jewelry ordered several weeks ago will arrive this week, ac— cording; to P. L. G. Moore, head of the jewelry committe 8. Moore also said that orders for Orientation tests in mental ability, compiehension, vocabulary, mathema- tics, and science were given to the 118 incoming freshmen last Thursday afternoon. According to Dr. W. C. Krathwohl, technical director for the exams, the freshmen seemed to en- joy thc tests, particularly after the newness were off, and a spirit of. competition prevailed, each student trying to outdo the other. The first test was a general menu tal ability examination, being the psy- chological examination of the Ameri— can Council on Education. The sec- ! 0nd test was intended to find out how ‘fast the student can read and yet comprehend what has been read. The reason for this test is that a student who can read and comprehend 400 words a minute can do his homework four times as fast as one can read but .100 words a minute. According to Dr. Kiathwohl, ranges as great as these are common in all large col- lcges. The third test was a vocabulary ex- amination. The fourth was a quiz on the student’s aptitude for mathe~ matics, and the last part tested his scientific background, acknowledging the fact that a student seldom can make a success of engineering if he knows little and cares less about sci- ence in general. Dr. Krathwohi said that the easiest test seemed to be the science test. This requires one and one‘half hours, but most of the students completed it before the first hour. How well ‘ they fared, however, is not yet deter- i mined. l Armour Eye Selects Hammett As Sponsor i i Members of the Armour Eye, photographic club of Armour, elected Professor Cecil Hammett as its fac— ulty sponsor at its last meeting. With this important step the club is now ready to go into full swing in thei Armour institute of Technology, Chicago, lllinois E. Hartford to Speak to Afidl/lli. Ernest Hartford, national secre- tory of the A. S. M. E., now on a nation~wide tour, will talk on “A. S. l M. E. Activities and Student‘, Branches” at the meeting to be held l Friday at 10:30 in Science l-Iall. Mr. Hartford’s present trip is in connec- tion with an effort to stimulate in— terest between student branches throughout the country. A speaker from the Westinghouse Electric Com— pany will probably be presented at the meeting in connection with a fu— ture inspection trip to their plant. During the next few meetings, par" ticular emphasis will be placed on student speakeis since one must be picked for the A. S. M. E. Conven- tion to be held in the early part of May. Northwestern will be host for the convention and Armour will ban- dle all inspection trips. Other cur~ rent business includes the arranging of plans to permit the cooperative students to be members. Each sec— tion of the cooperatives will have one ' representative on the executive com< mittee. F. Hanncman, H. L. Appel, and M. J. Loftus have worked to~ gather in studying the connections concerning the part-time men. “Boilers" was the topic discussed by H. S. Ruekberg, student speaker, at the A. S. M. E. meeting held last Friday at 10:30, in Science Hall. His speech was well illustrated by the use of slides. A. l. Clz. E. Hears Process {hairline An outline of the mechanical and‘ chemical processes involved in the‘ production of a large variety of corn products was given by Dr. Paul Bish- op, director of research for the Corn Products Refining Company at Argo, Illinois, before the A, I. Ch. E. Dr. Bishop explained that although many mechanical processes are used, the industry depends largely on chcm~ l ical principles. After the corn has been shelled and cleaned, the first op— eration is to dissolve the water-solu— ble matter in large steeps. The grain Tuesday, Februaryhlfi, l937 l... E. Parker anal .l. ll.

Spencer, professor ol' mathematics, will exhibit a number of his mathematical charts and solid ianalytic models in the foyer of the Grand Ball Room at the Palmer House, on Friday and Saturday, Feb- iruai-y 19th and 20th. These models are an integral part of the exhibition of the National Council of Teachers 01‘ Mathematics whose exhibition has “been sponsored by the Men’s and Women’s Mathematics Clubs of Chi— cago and vicinity. ‘, Professor Spencer’s models have ibeen highly praised by associates as well as students who have had the opportunity of observing his works ‘closely. These models are the some ithat were exhibited in a lecture on i“Mathcmatieal Charts and Models," ‘which was presented on November 20 at the Y.M.C,A. At the present time, the charts are being cleaned and put into shape by Professor Spencer himself. The con- struction of these. models has occu- pied much of thc professor’s spare time. At the moment he is experi- menting with plastics and newly de~ vclopcd cellulose materials with which he hopes to improve his already high- ‘ly perfected models. Last year, while addressing the 1 Math club, Mr. Spencer also explained in detail his method of preparing casts for such objects as elliptical parabaloids.
