Let’s see what I have written so far. “Professor H. P. Dutton—teacher, editor, consultant, dean, engineer, scientist, artist, and manager. Long as this list may seem, every term ap- plies to him, a smiling, soft spoken [sentient-an, with a personality that commands your appreciation from the start. “Professor Dutton was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1914. with a 8.8. in electrical engi— neering. That year he started as an instructor in factory management at Northwestern Unversity’s school of commerce, where he has been teach‘ ing ever since. Three years later, he became assistant professor and subsequently, associate professor. In 1924 he was appointed professor of management. “In 1938 he came to Armour In- stitute as acting chairman of the so- cial science department, as well as professor of management. These po- sitions he has held to date, as well as that of Dean of the Evening Divi- sion, which he received this year. “He has had a miscellaneous con- sulting practice ever since 1915, which means also that he works out plans for the improvement of a bus— iness, whenever it is necessary; he has been an active editor and au- thor. He was associate editor of Factory Management and Mainte— nance, a monthly magazine, and its successor publications, from 1927 to 193V, and was also consulting edi- tor for the year following. In addi- tion, he is the author of three texts: Farfory Management, published in 1.924, Business Organization and [Honor/comm, published a year later, and Principles of Organization, which came of? the press in 1931. “Twcnny sccon’ nixl" “Yes, he was almost a brain—trust- cr 'It came unexpectedly,’ said Pro- fessor Dutton, ‘but it gave me a good chance to see Washington, and the NRA. was a very interesting ex- periment, although we could see, soon after it was started, that it was only a matter of time before it would hit“)! I; collapsc.’ He was a member of a committee appointed by General, Johnson to study scrip used by big southern companies. He was also an‘ Administration Member of the Maq chincry and Allied Products Indus- try Code, which was the master code for a number of miscellaneous manu- facturers. These positions lasted from 1933 to 1934. “He has also run his own firm, Dut- ton and Company, which manufac- tured bedsprings, from 1920 to 1925, when he sold it out. Previously he had worked for the Pullman Com- pany, and then [or a consulting firm which sent him to Canada to study the Canadian civil service system. That's what I have so far. Let’s see. How will I write up these facts? Oh, yes. While I'm talking about his traveling 1 can say that he has been in every city in the country that has a population of 250,000 or more. Oh, here’s another one about his teaching. He conducted one of the % Sisalkral‘r is Subject oi Friday Lecture to Civils Sisalkraft, an unusual building paper, was discussed by two of the company‘s representatives — Mr. White and Mr. Austin—at a meeting last Friday of the WSHE Sisalkraft is a building paper that has long life. It is waterproof, windproof, and tough and strong enough to go into place without tearing, ripping, or puncturing. Asphalt is applied uniformly to two cover sheets, made out of north- ern kraft paper, and is reinforced both lengthwise and crosswise with strong sisal fibres which strengthen it. All of the above items are com— binod under heat and pressure, and together form an absolutely moisture~ proof and airproof sheet, the price is only about one cent per square foot. A great many uses have been found for this product, such as lining temporary silos built of slat fencing, curing of concrete, damproofing of walls, etc, covering equipment in storage, under flooring, proteCting plants from frosts, and lining. coal bins. It was pointed outthat these were only a few of the many uses. agement in the country. listed in Who's Who in Chicago, and Who’s Who in Engineering. Boy! Here's a list! He is a mem- ber of the Society of Industrial En- gineers, the American Association of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Management, the Taylor Society, the Western Society of Engineers, the American Economics Association, and Delta Sigma Pi, the professional Commercial fraternity. He is also director and secretary of the Society for the Advancement of Manage— ment. He has given talks all over the country, among which are included the following: Gave talks on man~ agcmcnt in Boston, and in Minne- apolis, the latter on the occasion of the dedication of the new commerce building a few years ago; conducted a panel on employee training be- fore the New England Council, an association of manufacturers; talked on motion study at the Chicago Cen- tury of Progress; spoke on the eco— nomics of pricing and packaging ma- chinery at the last Packaging Con~ ference in the city recently; and, more recently, spoke before the Con- ference on Vocational Education at which President Heald also spoke. “Thirty firs-a-nixl” Say, did the train skip two stations, or wasn’t I listening? Well, here goes the last paragraph—bis hobbies. Professor Dutton is a landscape painter, and uses oil paints, although he hasn’t been active in this for about a year. His father operated a green- house, and thus he became interested in gardening as a hobby. Landscape paintings also mean an interest in photography, in his case, and he also collects old Chinese and Japanese prints. But his biggestfiand by far the most interesting hobby iii-«study- ing people. In this connection, he served as an examiner of the appli- cants that sought jobs under the Illi- nois Unemployment Compensation Act, recently. “Thirty-third—a-nix 3” Now I can breathe easier. story is done.

It would seem that last week’s notes gave a mental hot foot to a cou— ple of our revered Mich Boul houses. VERY IRKED . . . Phi Kap Lange sent his loving re- gards and says something to the ef- fect that unless Phi Kappa Sigma heads the fraternity notes, I won't go to Heaven. Also a bit of advice to keep my uncouth hands off the notes received. As much as I want to go to Heaven, I don’t make the page layout. About the ship,” the notes must be written in a readable form, Aside from this, the Phi Kaps are reasonably happy, there being a pledge initiation sched» uled for March 3 to be held in none other than the Medinah A.C.
