Old grads, young grads, fat grads, shinny grads—about two hundred and forty of them— jammed into the Union dining room last Friday to celebrate their first annual Armour Tech homecoming dinner. . From 6 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the evening, Armour men, representing practically every class that has grad— uated, made the halls of the new Stu— dent Union rel-echo with a joyous clamor as they greeted old friends, made new ones, rcminisced about the “good old undergraduate days,” and enthused over Armour's bright pres- ent and future. Discusses Armour’o Post This outlook to the future, a key‘ note of the entire Homecoming, was well expressed in President Heald’s words as he addressed the assemblage, “You have been hearing Dr. Schergcr talk over the “good old days.” Now let me tell you some of the things that we at Armour are now doing, and intend to continue doing." Dr. George L. Scherger, grey— haircd stalwart of Armour’s past, was the main speaker of the evening. He spoke eloquently of Armour in the days of Gunsaulus, Mann, 1". D. Armour, and others. Although Dr. Scherg‘crs talk was predicated on Ar— mour’s past, he urged the present to a carry on in the spirit of Armour's past great leaders, Relates Origin of Mission Many interesting facts came to light during Dr. Schergcr’s speech. Among then) was the story of the origin of the Armour Mission and Armour institute-”how Dr. Gunsam lus' “million dollar sermon" on train- ing young men to use their hands so impressed l’. D. Armour that he gave Doctor (iunsaulus :1 million dollars “Armour Homecoming gemstones Kent-Continueg ’ Features Tolh by that. butternut with which to found a school bodying these principles, President Heald then presented a short talk on the activities of the school at present. He told how the Union building so recently completed is already accomplishing one of its purposes: namely, to bring people outside of the school here to see What we are doing. The story of the renaissance of the Armour Mission was not retold, but President Heald did mention the work done by Prof. Moreton, Architects Loch] and Schlossman, and Prof. Seegrist. President Heald then gave a brief report of the diverse fields of activity being engaged in by the school. Ar- mour is no longer supported by the Armour family, but by the com~ munity. Its gifts from the alumni, the trustees, and industry which are maintaining the school. The student body is the largest in Armour’s his- tory—more men than ever are turned away because of a limited student capacity. The great ad— vancement of the evening school and the graduate division was mentioned. These are now about three hundred men in the graduate school working for advanced degrees. President Ilenld‘s mention of the research foundation was supplemented later by a brief talk by Prof. Vagtborg. em- Placement Facilities; Enlarged The enlargement of the placement facilities was discussed by the presi~ dent, who urged all the alumni to get in touch with Prof. Schommcr if they know of jobs that needed filli- ing, or needed a job themselves. An invitation was expressed by the presi— dent to make the Union available to the Alumni for meetings, or dinners, provided, of course, that it didn’t conflict with up already scheduled event. Experiments at U. och/iigan The television apparatus “film aroused so much comment when it was publicly demonstrated at the In- stitute last open house night has been shipped to the University qt" Michigan. Further experiments will be conducted with this set by Earle L. Kent, an instructor in electrical engineering at Armour. Mr. Kent, who is on leave at present, is work- ing for his doctorate degree at the University. Together with other re— search workers at U. of M., be will try to improve the existing equipment and add other pieces that permit transmission and reception of the images on ultra short waves. As it now stands the television out- fit was built last year at Armour by Mr. Kent and several students in his television classes. Constructed after principles of the RCA system, the television ”camera." contains a $400 iconscopo tube and a special ampli- fier capable of responding to im- pulses ranging from below 20 to well over 1,000,000 cycles per second. Tiny acorn tubes, no larger than buttons, are used for this purpose. In the receiving unit a ten inch cathrode ray tube reproduces the image which has the high definition of 441 lines; this means a clearnens of pictures comparable to that of home movies. “life class.” Quotes one: “Holy The showing of the experimental smokes, female next week” unquote. apparatus at Armour last semester . . . 0f Pehta’s injuries last week, was the first public demonstration his leg and his brain, his leg has ire-- of high definition television in Chi~ covered. cago. At the time pictures were sent by wire to the rncciver rather than being transmitted by radio.
