HT Buciness Office Tho Wotcr’s Finn With a, new record enrollment, prospects for a continued vigorous, well rounded program of extracurricular activities look bright. There were those who cast an apprehensive sigh when so many outstanding campus leaders graduated in January. When one reads the list of the graduating members of Black Knight, secret campus leadership fraternity, one might well be wary of the future—Arcnds,1Burkhardt, l—latstat, Lind, Makielski, and Travisw—such a list touches almost every campus organization. But for each of those “lost lights" we are now receiving one hundred lights of unknown brilliance. Some will shine as bright or brighter than the distinguished men above. Others will be short circuitod on the way. To each new student we call to your atten- tion the vast leadership opportunities here on campus. Wc don t pretend to have a beautiful, rolling campus or a rugged professional foot- ball team but the school does otter a wealth of activities in which the trait of leadership, so valuable in supplementing an engineering cdu~ cation in business and community life, can be developed. All too often in coming students will cuter school with the best of intentions concerning extracurricular activities. They have been out— standing leaders in their respective high schools and. have ambitious plans for collegiate altairs. But after 21 few months of equation juggling and slide rule pushing the new student becomes enveloped by the octopus of technology. He becomes one of the flock of pedantic individuals who worships a calculus book, gamma rays and a 2.8 average. Don’t get us wrong, churn, this technical knowledge is good stuff. It’s what you’re pay— ing for and what you’re going to make a, living from. But you’re also going to have to live with a family and be a citizen in a communyty. You have the word of eminent alumni and teachers that the surest way of developing the qualities needed in the latter mentioned life is to participate, actively, in undergraduate cam— pus activities. Illinois ’l‘ech offers one of the finest assort— ments of extracurricular activities of any carm pus. Sort of a “you name it, we have it’ affair. Whether you be veteran or civilian, male or female. Boy Scout or Dead End Kid you’ll find an organization which suits you. So we say to you newcomers (and to you musty long-hairs who have molded here for sev— eral tern1s},piclc up that copy of Techncttc, see what it has to say about the various outside activities Move your young hulk to one of the many meetings listed on the bulletin board, first floor Main You need thesc organizations, and they need you. ll 3 jorot has you over the you donlt want to becomc 2 square like him, barrel witl' homework and ex amswiclux lloc: you don’t uont to bccome o souarlc like him, do 111M Come on in. the water‘s fine?! lglllonat lilo than hoot @1119 loaf fl '1, ‘\~.. ,1.

Hemy T Hamid, Placidcnl, Illinois Institute of Technology A great many students at mll’l‘ are, unfortunately only barely familiar with their school’s genial, progressive president, Dr. Henry Townly Heald Comparatively few of the institute .51 students have boon aware of the grout devotodncss and ability which this man has shown in running the school during his stay horn. Illinois chh, now one of the foremost engineering schools in the country, owes its posi» tion in great part to the loyal work of President lloald. Henry T. Heald originally hailed from Lincoln, Nebraska. His engineering career began when he received his B. S in Civil Engineering from Washington ' State College in 1923. For several years thcrc-~ after he spent his timo in the field fumillurm lzing himself with the practical and business Q aspects of engineering before finally taking his place in the teaching profession as was his Wit} 1 inal intention. He in turn hold such positions ,as Assistant Engineer with the United States Bureau of Reclamation, bridge designer with the Bomd of Local lmpiovcmcnts, and several other positions of similar nature. During this period he also earned his M S. degree at the University of lllinois 111 1925 In 1927 President Heald began his career in cngincemng edu- cation vvhcn he accepted the position of Assistant Professor in the Armour Institute civil 'ongineering department. Thereafter he was in succession: Associate Professor, Professor, Assistant Dean, Dean of Freshmen, Dean of the College, and final. 15/ 111 1988 President of 111. President Hcald, aside from his duties at Technology Center, has been active in a great number of professional engineering" and educational societies. He has received for his services many honors and awards. Among thorn are honorary degrecs from. Rose Polytechnic and Nmthwsstern llniversity ln 19401 he re» ccivcd the Chicago and Illinois Junior Chamber of Commerce citations as the outstanding young man of the your. More rem ccntly he was recipient of the Navy Award for distinguished service in recognition of his wartime work as regional adviser to the Engineering Science and W111? Training Program. lllinois Tech’s president has, despite these activities, found time to devote his energies to many civic and public organiza- tions. He is at the prcscnt time mainly concerned with the south side 15111111 clearance program. With all those activities and a, great many more to keep him busy, President Henry T. Heald has found little time for him— self. However. he continues to set an inspiring example of scrvw ice and citizenship, hoping that someday he may be free enough to take a little time off to be able to travel and see the world. £65331: ,2 ,, 92‘? 11h ltd” Ml? l”(.1211111‘11.13.1.1 (EDKTQR‘S NOTE This column is for onprossmn of locus from random Lotion-1:1 containing not more than 25!} words will be prlmed. knonglnons lnttcm will. not he. considered to: publication. although 11 writers name wail ho withheld £10m groom “cation if deslrw lochowh to ill on ho Please forward my issues of Torah address.
