The attention of the Dean has been called to the
fact that many of the students driving to school do
not consider the safety of others. The principal of
the school located at 34th and Dearborn has com-
plained to the Institute officials. that many of the
children have narrowly escaped injury as the Arm»
ourites skid around the corner and speed past the
school. Students should realize that a speed limit
exists for school zones. Children from the gram—
mar school, unfortunately do not have any park
or playground in which to play, so that the chil-
dren have to play in the streets. During the noon
hour, the streets are blocked off so that the chil-
dren can play in the street: Armourites have been
known to move the blockades and drive through.

Yellow lines are painted about the campus

which denote “no parking zones." Such zones are
marked at the main entrance, the entrance to the
bookstore, the entrance to Machinery Hall and
various other places. it is important that students
leave a sufficient space on each side of tire hyd-
rants. The school provides a free parking space
which is large enough to accomoclate the automo-
biles of the students. Don't park in a space marked
in yellow; the space is expected to be clear.
Please cooperate with the school in driving care-
fully all the time. The time one saves in speeding
around the block may only be a moment, and the
chances for an accident are great.

@t Monkeys and Men;

 

At Armour liinol

Ah, what dark secretsthc pests of
some of Armour’s professors must
conceal. Every now and then, in the
midst of a lecture onc will mention
something that, will make a class reel
back in its chairs, gasp, perhaps even!
shudder; and then, before an alertl
soul can leap in with a query, he con-i
tinues on, explaining the scientific’
method. (Explanation of the scion-i
tific method comes only in the fresh-l
man, sophomore, junior and seniorlL
year.) l

Why, it seems like only last week1
(That‘s because it was last week):
that, Pros". Benjamin B. Freud let:
fall a pa sonul item that made an;
entire stand aghast. The whole‘
room was aeog. The room was in bch

Mr. Freeman

   

Since he joined the stufl" of Ar.

moui- Institute in 1902, Ernest Har-
rison Freeman has taught nearly all
of the courscs available in the elec»

ti'ical engine-cling curriculum. In re» ‘

cent years, however, his efforts have
been directed toward teaching only
senior electricals.

Because he has been known to
exert a peculiar stabiling effect up-
on his students, it. is rather unfor-
tunate that non-electricals do not
have the benefit of meeting him in
his capacity as professor.

Before coming: to Armour Insti-
tute where, in 1902, he was awarded
the degree of Bachelor of Science in
ELectrical Engineering, Mr. Freeman
attended Kansas State College. Here
he followed what was there known as
a general science course, and in 1895
he obtained his Bachelor of Science
degree. It is of further interest to
note that the honorary degree. of
Doctor of Engineering was conferred
upon him by Kansas State College in
1935.

For a number of years Mr. Free—
man has been interested in the de-
sign and development of integrating
instiuments. Some time back he in-
vented and patented a so—calleti In-

tegrating Conductance Meter for in- i

dictating flow. It is still being pro-
duced today and the inquisitive stu-

(lent will find one of them on the in— ,

strument board of the new boiler re-
cently installed.

Dr.
gardening-r, amateur photography and
reading: He likes listening to some
of the better radio broadcasted mu»
sical performances, cares little for
cards, and does not bother with
billiards. He is never troubled by his
golf SCOY'O because he doesn’t play
golf. He is keenly and actively in-
terested in the economics of the en-
{zinoer and has traveled extensively
in the United States.

Freeman’s main hobbies are:

Unsung llamas l,
iy Receive Recognition

though no one who was anyone failed l
to have one, he announced that. he
was the possessor of a monkey.

Now some men have (logs and

others cats, while still others teach
chameleons to bring in the evening: l
paper, but how many have anthro—
poids? On what deserted isle in the
sunny southern reaches of the rolling l,
blue Pacific did he pick up the
beasty'.’ Where, on the scorching
vcldt beneath the scorching tropic
sun, did he slay the fanged fury,
which was about to have'an hor’sl
d‘ouvre of monkey, and earn the uni— l
mal’s love so that later, when cap-
tured by the Ngakis, whose queen
a beautiful white woman, he.
would be ucd from the fire by
the marines brought by the critter? ,

Who can say? But. if any professor ‘,

illustrates a point with a penguin . . .

l Mr. Hourly

A saga. of a full rich life, of a boy»
hood on an Arkansas farm, of foot-
ball in the gory “good old days," of
high scholarship, of high honors, of

leadership in industry—is reflected
by the life of Prof. P. o. .I'lurllily,
l‘ chairman of the mechanical engineer-
' ingdepartment.

Down in Camden, Arkansas, on a
farm twenty miles from nowhere,
some fifty-three years ago, a son was,
born to the Huntly ’family. They
called him’ Philip Conrad. He lived‘
as did most of the native sons at
i that time—worked on the farm nine'
1 months of the year, and went. to a
l one-room schoolhouse during the
l

 

 

three summer months.

» His schooling period was extended
llo a six month period during the
1 winter of his fourteenth year. His
i
l the future professor an excellent
l training in mathematics, which gave
l him a foundation for future univer-
l sity work.

All through the next years spent
‘ at prep school and at the University
lof Arkansas (he worked his way
through both at the princely wage of
1 ten cents per hour). he made straight
l “A’s." His teaching career really
started at the university where he
started teaching in his junior year.
Besides this he was “schoolmaster" at
his old country schoolhouse during
the vacation months teaching from
the “ABC‘s” to algebra.

Prof. Huntly played prep school
football and five years of university
I football. This was back in the days

before the forward pass. “The only
thing we had resembling a forward

A deeply perplexed WPA laborer
approached the superintendent with
his problem. “I dug this hole like I

back in like I was supposed to. But

I do?"

Prof. Huntly played center on in
team that one year won the southern
championship, and one other yeai", the l
southwest championship; he was"
himself named for all—southern center
in his senior year. When asked to
compare the football 01" his day, with
that of the present day, he remarked
that modern football was more spec-y
taculur and had more color, but for
real football, didn’t compare with the
old days.

 

l

Prof. l-Iuntly graduated as a civil
engineer;
taught classes, and played football in
the year of ’11. He coached the var—

sity line at the University of Arkan. ,
9.35 during the year of ’12. In "l3
he worked for Morey and Newgetidl
and 00., consulting engineers, whare
the transition in his work from civil
to mechanical engineering started.

After working for various other
companies, railroads, and the City of
Chicago, he came to Armour as in-
structor. “I thought I’d stay here
two years,” Prof. Huntly said, “but
when I found it was exactly the type
of school and job I wanted, I stayed
twenty-four years, and I’m still
here.” The reasons why he preferred
Armour to the big state universities,
were because it wasn’t too large, the
students were more serious and
worked harder, and because of the
many outside contacts possible with
industry.

Prnf. I'Iuntly has done a great deal
of consulting and expert witness
work. He doesn’t believe that. anyone
can teach engineering without doing
outside engineering work or without
extensive past experience in it. Al—

(Cowtimwd on page three)

 

he took graduate work,

“Nope, paints men and women."
“Oh I see, he’s an artist."
“Nope, just palms women on one
