An index to the far-reaching in.
fluence Chicago exerts as center
of advanced technological educa-
tion is revealed with issuance last
week of the graduate school bul-
letln.

Dependence of engineering
schools of the nation on strong
graduate schools for training of
faculty members and the absolute
reliance of industry on research
and experimental scholarship pt"0~
per to graduate study were empire
sized by Dr. L. E. Grinter, dean
of the graduate school, in releao
ing the bulletin.

“The national defense drive,
much as it is concerned with utilize
ing the best skills and brains of
engineers holding, bachelor de-
grees, rests ultimately on the cap.
deity of the graduate school to
produce men equipped to teach in
engineering schools or to tackle
the problems of technological. re
search," he said.

The bulletin shows that thirty
five states are represented by uni-
versities, institutes and colleges
whose graduates have been on-
rolled for advanced study at the
Institute during the school your
of 1940-41. Nine foreign countries
are likewise represented. Belgium,
Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Nor-
way, France and Italy, of coun
tries now completely or partially
under control of Germany, are
among them, and China and Pales—
tine as well. Each of these. with
the exception of France which has
graduates of two schools enrolled,
is represented by one enroilce.

Employees of American firms
comprise this foreign trained

group. Canadian institutions sent
three graduates into institute
ranks.

With the total graduate enroll
ment at 452, the number of grud-
uates from American institutions
is 426, since fourteen persons ad

had spell bound the assembly, the
members of the administrative
stall were summarily introduced.
President Heald enlightened the
audience with his bouyant re-
marks concerning the new cam—

 

pus. lie swirl that within a very
few months concrete steps would
be taken towards the realization
ol‘ '1‘ ethnology Center. Needless to
sag; these words were extremely
well received.

When President Heaid had lin-
isiied, Mr. Schommer turned the
allairs over to Dick Larson, who
then proceeded to honor those so
lively engaged in non-athletic
extracurricular activities. Student
members of the ITSA board. class

Pi. members of the Interhonorary
council. presidents of the musical
clubs. editors of the publications,

As. has been the custom of pre-
vious athletic banquets, t h e
coaches of the various sports were
given the opportunity to boast or
alibi about their season’s record
and to compliment the athletes
responsible for the records. John
J. Schommer read a letter writ-
ten by track couch Norm Root who
has been confined to a sanitarium
which gave words of encourage-
ment to the track team.

Boxing, wrestling, and baseball
coach Weissman announced the
new candidates to Honor “l", who
were Mike Carey, Hurry Sieg,
