Frank Roubik, chairman of AIEE, lauded Don’s conscientious work as chapter treasurer and praised his personal character: “Once in a great while, we have the opportunity of meet— ing a man who has none of our common faults. . . . Firm in his beliefs, yet with his unassum- ing and cordial ways, he was always willing to yield and co- operate for the benefit of all.” Al Hawkes, president of IRE, paid Don a high personal tribute: “If I live until I am crowned with grayncss, I shall never accomplish as much in my own eyes as did Don Lea] of the short thirty-one years. He lived as an ideal to me; in death his remembrance will provide proof that fine people do exist.” As suggested by Frank Roubik, the following words of Sheridan might well summarize the memo- rial statements about Don Leal: “The worthiness of life should be measured by deeds, maltose ti ‘ that thinner roost” Senior mechanical engineering students from Northwestern and HT and members of the Chicago section of the national society were guests of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Tuesday evening.

However, as I plodded across the moor to the recluse mansion of George Bernard Pshaw, I had, no regrets about spending my Yule vacation on this assignment. Told that a representative of the fourth estate was in waiting, the great man of letters snarled: “Another foe of rhetoric! This .world is not pestmridden, it’s press- ridden. Throw him out.” As I turned to leave, Pshaw spied the carrot with which I had thoughtfully equipped myself on route. “Young man, is that gigan- tic carrot intended as a bribe for me?” So began the interview. “Mr. l’sllaw, to what do you attribute your greatness? I mean, what do you think . . .” “That’s just iii—«few people think more than two or three times a year. I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.” GB appeared interested in IIT. “I haven’t been down to the Mis» sion since I left my post as pro- fessor of literature there and aban- doned the hopeless task of civilizing poor, benighted engineers.” “Too many men {go through col- lege,” he avert-ed, “without any college going through them. Educa» tion begins at the moment of con~ caption. Any child is potentially smarter than his parents,” Pshaw argued. “Otherwise he’d never exist. “Love—«~it's the delusion that one woman differs from an- other.” Pshaw was vehement now. “Marriage, on the other ii. h. l’fllidillll hand, occurs because women, deceived by men, know of no better way of getting lasting revenge.” This theory so intrigued me that I invited the great playwright to revisit Illinois Tech and speak at a meeting of Technology Film Unit. “Why,” he snorted, “motion pio- tures are a device for taking a bad novel and worsening it. The only way to make modern literature great is to write it in a dead lan- guage—~50 that no one will be able to read it.” “Anyway,” he remarked, looking 4 at his watch, “I can’t make it back to the Mission before 1967. Every minute of my time is planned for the next 17 years. As a matter of fact,” he said, turning away, “I must go out and pluck my salad for the evening meal." uHFhflH‘lFHHMFW Elerrrftrhtl rich? mum l , I: tiull lint. 40th APT.
