Over seven thousand regular students are being served this year in clay and evening classes, while through the co operation of the United States Office of Education, more than three thousand addi- tional students are enrolled in part-time engineering defense training courses. These important, services now in progress provide a sound basis for the creation at this institution of an out. standing “Technology Center” to serve the youth and the industry of this community. The Board of Trustees; is now actively at work. on the development of the new buildings, the new facilities, and the increased income which will permit a woolly enhanced program of education and research in the years to come. We trust that your visit to the Armour and Lewis plants of Illinois institute of Technology will he a plezlssant and profitable occasion ,and one from which you will derive an increased interest and a new faith in the future of the youth of America.

Arrangements have been made to present this Show in the Student Union audi- torium, both Tuesday and Wednes— day evenings at 8:30 pm. In order to better acquaint the guests of Armour with the functions of the arts and science division, the show will progress through the famous merger of Armour and Lewis to a humorous survey of the various departments of the arts and science division.

Ber— nie Silver will play the accompani» merit for the entire Show. Most of the music and all of the arrangements are student written. Jimmy Lombardo wrote the [IT song to which a student chorus will dance. Mary Flasher and Jane Goelet collaborated in writing Juba Jive, and Me Without You. Jane, Mary and Aida Kall'lS ar- ranged the harmony for their trio numbers. Me Without You, a song written especially for the students of HT, which will be sung by Jane, will include the version taken from a Technology News column . . . Blitzkrieg Students of both campuses will be taken to task in this version. The group of new buildings has been designed by the orcl‘lltectural department under the direction of Ludwig Mies van der lFbohc, the dietinguishcd European architect, who now hcadn that department of 111‘. A model hon been made of the new center, and has been on exhibition for the pact week at the Sherman hotel. The campus will be located on the south side, on the site of the present Armour College. It will occupy the area between State street on the east, the Rock Island rail~ road trucks on the west, Thin tyiourth street on the South and Mimi van that Rollo Thirty‘tiecond street on the north. The fundamental principle be- hind the design of the new build- ings will he that: of modernity in the manner that Frank Lloyd Wright has developed. The open plan, as It is called, gives the feel» ing of working in space. This is achieved by having open, unen- cloned, first stories in six of, the twelve buildings; planned. The steel skeleton, which was first developed in Chicago, will be applied to the long, low buildings, the tallest of which will be eighty feet. high. All twelve buildings are to be of this type of construction m steel ckeletons, faced with brick and glass. Each branch of 1le will have its own building. The various en— gineering departments, plus those of architecture and phyeics will be to themselves. The architectural and metallurgical departments will he houucd in buildings 300 feet long by 90 foot wide. The exterior of those buildings will have a never) loot bane of bull brick. Each building will have what might be called a flexible hall. It is flexible in the cause that it will have no walls. Movable wooden screens, or walla, will separate the building into classrooms.

A quarter of a million copies will be printed. This book is primarily a study in semantics, the science of the thought behind words. “Language in Action” has been used this year by the freshman classes at IIT in paper bound mimeographecl form.
