Page Four Dr. Hotchkiss Bids Students Farewell Tells of Macias Made During Leadership Since 1933 (Continued from page one) ward with material resources ado» quately to insure stability, progress, and the fullest realization of this op- portunity." With you and with all the Armour students who preceded you, I am proud of the forty years of Armour history before I came here in Janu- ary, 1933. Similarly, I am sure you and those earlier students will share with me, and with the faculty and trustees, the pride we all feel in the progress we have jointly been able to make in the years just past. We all rejoice and you rejoice in a stu- dent body this year larger and more carefully selected than has ever come to Armour before. 2,000 in Evening Division We are happy together in the in- nitiativc which General Hammond, Mr. Lease, Dean Heald, Professor Huntly, and others took in providing through the Cooperative Course an opportunity for a group of picked young men to secure an engineering education at Armour without post- poning: their entrance into industry. More than 180 such men are now enjoying that opportunity. Equally, we are happy that the Evening Division makes it possible for more than 2,000 men to come to Armour at the same time they are earning a living in regular day-time employment. Although the numbers in the Graduate Division are not yet so impressive as those just given, we are all proud of the fact that those students whose undergraduate course here or elsewhere has indi- cated that they should continue with graduate work now have ample op- portunity to do this at Armour, un— der distinguished leadership, both in the Day and the Evening Division. Finally, it is a matter of pride with us all that under Armour leadership, foundations have been laid for mak- ing: Chicano an important center of engineering research. Physical Improvements And there are other things of which Armour students are proud. They are proud that our engineering shops, under the able direction of Dr. Pearl, are a model for other en- gineering schools. They are proud that the various curricula at Ar- mour are abreast of the best stand- ards in engineering education, both professionally and culturally. They are proud of our high standards of teaching, which have been brought about through enrichment of teach- ing personnel and through a pro— gressive adjustment of teaching loads so as to bring out the best tal- ents of the members of the staff. While much remains to be done with our plant, improvements in classrooms and equipment during the past few years have been notable, and in the planting and maintenance of the grounds, we have been grad- ually raising the standards of sight- liness which influence so greatly the atmosphere of a college. It would be just as superfluous to enumerate further the items of prog— ress during the past few years as it would to try to list the many virtues which Armour has brought down to us of this generation out of all the past years of its history. Suffice it to say that out of all those past years and these more recent years, we have an Armour ready and eager to take the next steps forward. Still His Affection ln extending this greeting to the men of Armour and in sharing with them the pride which they all feel in their school, I am not going to bid them farewell for, wherever I may lie and to whatever extent the work in which I am engaged may command my enthusiasm, my affec- tion for Armour will not lesson. The years at Armour are now an integral part of mv life, and I shall always be happy when opportunity comes to serve Armour and to help as I can those who are taking up the burdens which I lay down. I can only close as I began with greeting and most earnest good wishes for Armour students of to- day, for students of other days, and By Al N. Schrt’cbcr With steadfast persistence War con- tinues to play the major role in World Drama. Last week in his fireside chat President Roosevelt spoke the cue by which the United States will enter the coming World War, saying, “ . . Nor can we View with indif- ference the destruction of civilized values throughout the world. . . We seek . . . the continuance of world civilization in order that American civilization may continue to be invig- orated by the achievements of civilized men and women in the rest of the world." War is the discontinuance of world civilization, and if war breaks out America will again fight for “civilized values." Playing Poker Of course this presumes that war is definitely approaching. 1s his a justified assumption? Each nation is arming itself at a terrific pace—for defense protection. If all are on the defensive and no one wants to fight, however, we can not have a war. In fact several nations have violated treaties that could easily be the pre- text for war, but everyone claims to be on the defensive and so no holo- caust has started—yet. 0n the face of it, it is just a big game of bluff. Everyone is armed, the starting sparks for war are pres- ent, and yet nothing happens. Why? The country that starts the next war wants to be sure it can win, and no one has the self—confidence at the present time to call the next nation’s blufl'. What a poker game!

Topic Last Friday at 10:30 in Science Hall the A.S.M.E. heard a talk on “The Bosch System of Fuel InjecA tors for Diesel Engines" given by Mr. Fredrich Behrens of the United American Bosch Corporation. Following a brief business meet- ing in which the membership commit— tee was introduced, Mr. Behrens ex— plained the Bosch system of injec- tors, with the aid of slides, models, and diagrams. M has stated that “The Metallic Beast of Europe’s own engendering has got her by the throat” and that this Frankenstein monster is going to call the bluff. Rearmament has solved the European unemployment problem to where there is actually a shortage of skilled man-power with world pros- perity “literally buttressed up by big guns.” Remove this condition and economic chaos will result with in ternal revolutions. Therefore, if weapon production is continued the military surplus being created will have to be consumed and that means Will'. it is a vicious circle of no war with internal explosions or war with ex- ernal explosions. Fascistic countries will not allow an internal explosion to come, so all we can hope for is that its next war will be speedily over with a minimum loss of lives and re- sources. Neutral U. S- l-Iow will America fit into the pic- Lure? A current survey by Fortune reveals that one-half of America he- lieves that there will be a major war within three years, but only one- fourth think the United States will be drawn in. In spite of that, however, over three-fourths desire a strong army and navy so that no one will dare attack us.

WILLARD E. HOTCl—IKISS. ice Madras Leone and Kmthwohl to Speak at Kmart. Mr. 1:. J. Lease and Dr. W. C. Kratbwohl will present papers at the monthly meeting; of Phi Delta Kap- pa, the professional fraternity in education, tonight at six oclock at the Central Y.M.C.A. “The Armour Cooperative Plan” is Mr. Lease’s topic. He will explain the purpose of the plan and discuss its success and future possibilities at Armour. As coordinator of the co- operative plan, Mr. Lease has the problem of harmonizing the interests of the students, the school, and in- dustry. Dr. Krathwohl will talk on “The Effect of Selective Admission as Ex— emplified by Cooperative Students.” His paper will describe how stu- dents taking the course must be se— lected particularly for educational qualifications since they should finish the five year course without a single failure. leave us alone. Thus America's sync-l patbics will not depend on the Ameri- can public opinion, but upon the opin— ion of our leaders. In his recent speech President Roosevelt assumed the responsibility for that leadership, and emphasized his ability by his experience in the last war. Most of the rest of America’s international 1 e a d e rs , namely in the diplomatic service, are 'putrid. Our half of those in the service ‘are political appointees unlit for their position, and those that are capable have been assigned to countries in South America. With such a situa~ tion can democracy properly defend itself? The President also said that al- ‘though democracies are slow, America is not. too slow to see vital problems before it is too late. He has called a special session of Congress to con- vene November 15 to solve America’s present vital problems.
