Here is an extensive list

of the significant suppliers of forgings

for nuclear projects:

Wyman-Gordon.

This list is important because,

( 1 ) nuclear project builders specify the highest
of metallurgical standards, and . . .

(2) their demands for product reliability are as
severe as any application we know.

Any high-performance equipment benefits by relying on the
company that is a major supplier of metal components meeting
these nuclear super-standards ... in a broad range of shapes,
materials and forms . . . forgings, precision thin-wall cylinders,
compound contour panels, rolled rings.

Whenever components need peak performance and reliability,
look to the total capability of Wyman-Gordon; it comes from our
aggressive concern with improved technology. Wyman-Gordon

New York's Mayor Lindsay certainly has more than his
share of problems, and most Americans do not envy
his responsibilities. However, what most fail to realize
is that time is running out for all of us. To learn about
what may well be an inevitability, unless we do some-
thing now, read this hardhitting article.

It has been said that this field is the fastest-growing
industry in the country. Those who fail to utilize its
capabilities may very well face financial ruin. In a
concise article, Dr. Sondak discusses this newest of

"And so not too much is done,
and the problems worsen."

B. Allen Benjamin

Professor of Civil Engineering

IT ALL BEGAN IN THE CITIES. Anyone who
has not spent the last decade with his head in the
sand is painfully aware of the crisis in our urban centers :
that we are becoming a nation of "sick, sick, cities."
New York, of course, exemplifies the ultimate in urban
disintegration, with its overwhelming problems of
congestion, noise, ugliness, air pollution, slums, ghetto
unemployment, crime, and poor schools. These same
problems are with us in hundreds of cities throughout
the United States, and if their magnitude is smaller
there than in New York, so are the local financial and
administrative resources for dealing with them.

Cities should be well on their way to robust health,
if sheer attention could cure, since prescriptions for
their ills are turned out in ever-increasing numbers
and in stupefying detail. "We do know," says the
urban expert, "what is needed in City X by way of
physical and social improvements, but we just don't
have the money to pay for them." While there may
be wide local differences of opinion as to whose money
should be spent (U.S., city, private enterprise, or
"black capital" dollars), and what should be bought
first (highways or hospitals, housing or schools), almost
all agree that the total dollars needed is very large
indeed — far more than what has been spent on cities
in the past (over, a similar period), and far more than
what seems to be now available for spending. And so
not too much is done, and the problems worsen.

SUBURBAN GROWTH AND THE NEXT CRISIS.

Meanwhile, in vast, sprawling areas on the fringes of
the cities, an often overlooked crisis of potentially
greater scope is building up. This "suburban crisis"
is primarily the result of the unplanned, uncontrolled
expansion of urban development into formerly vacant

[he Journal

or rural areas. The outward pushing of cities with-
draws from agriculture, recreation and other rural
uses (often prematurely) a total land area each year
equal to one-half the size of Rhode Island. The indis-
criminate location of this development often needlessly
destroys irreplaceable natural and scenic resources.
Its general gravitation toward previously non-urbanized
areas inherently results in a deficiency of public facili-
ties (sewers, fire stations, parks, good roads, schools,
etc.), and its discontinuous pattern makes their sub-
sequent provision extremely inefficient. Finally, the
over-all physical quality of this growth is poor, so that
even well-designed individual structures and projects
end up surrounded by shoddy and chaotic semi-cities,
or development "slurbs."

Many suburbs are beyond improving, while others —
like the central cities — need massive expenditures to
correct past mistakes and deficiencies. However
(and this is the main point of this article), there are
hundreds of still-developing areas where something
can be done, done now, and done fairly cheaply. We
can minimize (or at least reduce) the cost of serving
growth; we can conserve our most valuable resource
areas and still have city expansion; and we can enhance
the over-all quality of suburban development: all by
the simple and relatively inexpensive device of com-
prehensive regional planning combined with stringent
regional development controls. Let us examine the
elements of the crisis in a bit more detail, considering
first the quality of suburban areas.

SLEEZY SLURBS. A number of critics have attacked
suburbia — both new and old — on social and economic
grounds, indicting the "segregation by income," the
"social sterility," the "political apathy," and the
"narrow provincialism" which they see as common
characteristics of suburban life. Others rise to the
defense of the suburbs as offering the best of both the
city and the country, and a way of life which, if tem-
porarily out of reach of some, is available to all when
they make the grade.

Here, however, our concern is with physical flaws in
suburbia. This is a matter in which one might expect
some general agreement, for there are few individuals
who find real merit in sleezy construction, lack of open
spaces, clogged roads, overflowing cesspools, lookalike
houses, and an indiscriminate mix of business, industry,
and homes. Such conditions exist to a varying degree
in almost every town, with the possible exception of
the ultra-high-class suburb protected over the last
two decades by large-lot. single-residence requirements
and an unwillingness to sell on the part of many land-
owners.

The quality of suburban development, in all its
aspects, can, theoretically, be controlled al the local

level by comprehensive zoning, a modern building code,
and reasonable subdivision regulations. In practice, j
however, most towns faced with growth do not adopt
such measures until too late, or adopt them in partial
or weak form. The very areas where growth is most
imminent are the still-rural towns which do not yet
see the need for control. Why get excited about just
a few converted trailers and roadside stands along the
highway?

Even in the more built-up suburbs, where controls
of a sort do exist, zoning is being used to make the
good towns "better" (i.e., more exclusive), and the
bad towns worse (i.e., more permissive of anything,
as long as it pays taxes and doesn't send children to
the schools). If it were not for their almost complete
dependence on real estate taxes, one may suppose that
even the latter towns would like to say no occasionally.

FAULTY FACILITIES. Another major element of
the crisis has to do with the public facilities that are
sooner or later needed to serve growth areas. While
many relatively small, urban projects do locate on
vacant tracts in or adjacent to already built-up sec-
tions, larger projects and economically marginal uses
tend to gravitate toward the periphery of the urban-
rural fringe, and even out into the far countryside.
As one goes away from the urban center, land is easier
to obtain or assemble, and its cost per acre decreases.
Thus, closer-in sites are often left vacant for years,
passed over for the more available, less expensive sites
in the hinterland. This "leapfrog" process results in
the early urbanization of the very sections least served
with full public facilities.

Either one of two things then generally happens;
(1) new residents and others in the scattered develop-
ment areas go for years with deficient facilities (no
sewers, no parks, no fire stations, etc.), or (2) sufficient
political pressure is applied to obtain the missing im-
provements, at what ends up as a cost to the general
public excessively high per user. This high cost per
user results from a combination of two factors, both
working in the same direction : The large underdevel-
oped areas remaining between the projects and the
already built-up center, necessitate extra miles of linear
facilities (improved access roads, water, sewer, and!
other utility extensions, school bus and other public!
transportation routes) as compared with a close-in
location. For the district facilities (those with a fixed
service area such as parks, fire stations, and libraries)
the low gross density <>f the scattered projects produced
fewer users per square mile to share the rust.

Local /.oning docs not help in this regard, since it can
only regulate the type and density of development
when and as it occurs, and cannot regulate its location

gional designation of growth-priority areas, with urban
development discouraged, or better, completely pro-
hibited in low priority areas until the high priority
ones are nearly filled up. Thus, urban growth would
proceed over the years from built-up centers outward
in more or less contiguous bands.

Such a program of growth-area priorities would re-
duce short range costs an appreciable amount. In
addition to avoiding partially unused extensions of
linear facilities, and initially under-used new district
facilities, it would also take advantage of any inherited
capacity in the major services of the built-up core.
Sometimes (though with increased rarity), an existing
hospital, airport, museum, college, or large recreation
facility can handle more users than it now serves and
actually benefits (in lower costs per user) from increased
patronage.

A few key facilities, however, almost always have to
be expanded in proportion to population growth, and
this need is independent of its locational pattern (scat-
tered or contiguous). In such cases, regional planning
can help in another way, and that is by recommending
the provision on a regional (rather than town by town)
basis of all new facilities for which there is an acceptable
economy of scale. Regional high schools, now well
accepted in many jurisdictions, are a case in point.
Health, water supply, sewage treatment, and solid
waste disposal facilities are all being increasingly re-
gionalized. As such facilities come into existence at
the regional level, there will be even more need than
now for controlling the location of urban growth, since
the larger a facility, the more likely it is to have when
first built, substantial excess capacity which can be
beneficially utilized by additional close-by development.

RUINED RESOURCES. The deficiency of needed
facilities discussed above can be overcome by spending
more money (though as noted, the amount needed
may be reduced). However, the destruction of natural
resources by improperly located urban development
is permanent and irrevocable. One may immediately
say, yes, but urban development is the "highest and
best use of the land," so if some resources have to go,
so be it. It is here believed that through proper plan-
ning and control, we can have both resources and devel-
opment. The present problem arises from the pre-
mature and needless destruction of resources while
other non-resource sites are still available for de-
velopment.

One type of resource often being prematurely de-
stroyed is good agricultural land. While our total
national acreage in fanning is still extensive, ami we
arc constantly increasing production, numerous tracts
of land ideally suited I'm- particular crops are definitely
limited in quantity. Such areas, meeting rigorous re-

or will they end up like this?!

quirements of soil, slope, temperature and proximity
to urban market are definitely in short supply. Apple
orchard lands in Massachusetts and walnut groves in
California are examples of this type. The maintenance
of some farm land near cities is also important to the
non-farmer. It provides him with an attractive general
environment, nearby open space for hiking, touring,
hunting, fishing and other extensive recreation activi-
ties, and a visual contrast to acres upon acres of closely-
packed buildings and blacktop.

A study made by the Massachusetts Dept. of Com-
merce shortly after World War II indicated that the
entire population of the state could be re-housed on
then-vacant land (within fifteen miles of the larger
cities alone), without using a single acre devoted to
agriculture. Since that study was made, many farms
have gone under the bulldozer in Massachusetts and
elsewhere. The destruction of farm land is even more
insidious than meets the eye, for it is an accumulative
process. The scattering of only a few developments
through a rural area tends to commit that entire area
to urbanization. This is because the farms remaining
between the scattered projects are almost at once
handicapped by having to pay real estate taxes on a
speculatively increased land valuation, and pay at an
increased rate as well — to cover urban services that the
farmers neither need nor want.

Another type of resource area being lost to develop-
ment is the flood plain. Like farm land, the level
areas along the sides of low-gradient streams are attrac-
tive spots for the builder. Little or no clearing is
called for, and grades are favorable. But when a
major flood occurs, both the occupants and the general
public pay deferred costs for urbanizing there: the
occupants, for their property damage; the general pub-
lic, for the flood control works that often follow. More-
over, every building and filling operation within the
flood plain increases subsequent flood levels down-
stream.

These natural flood water storage areas should, it is
believed, either be kept entirely free of development, or
if utilized, only occupied by non-structural uses such
as parking lots and golf courses. A special type of
zoning by cities and towns, known as "flood plain
zoning," is authorized in most states, but as in Massa-
chusetts (where less than a dozen communities have
chosen to adopt it), the typical community ignores
floods areas, and permits them to be developed when-
ever the owners wish. Even worse, the typical com-
munity designates such areas in its regular zoning
ordinance a.s "residence," "business," or "industry "
This not only misleads the public as to the suitability
of development there, but is a positive invitation for
such use. Again, planning and development control

on a regional basis could step in where cities and towns
fear to tread.

Wetlands are also rapidly disappearing. Not many
years ago, a swamp or marsh was considered as "waste-
land" where any development at all would be an im-
provement. This may still be the right view in the
case of small wet areas already surrounded by urbaniza-
tion and filled with junked cars and floating beer cans.
However, ecologists now recognize that many larger
marshes and swamps have high natural resource value
and should be kept permanently open.

Such wetlands provide shelter and food for wild
life, and sites for limited recreation: hunting, nature
study, and the like. Often, they are of economic value
in commercial trapping and fishing, the latter especially
along the edges of lakes and by the seacoast where they
produce the food on which the nearby fish population
depends. Although a less fully understood function,
many wetlands are also considered to be ground-
water recharge areas, the maintenance of which in
an open state may be vital to the long-range continua-
tion of our public water supplies.

Except in Massachusetts (which led the nation in
adopting laws to regulate, statewide, both inland and
coastal wetlands), wetland areas are generally un-
protected. Flood plain zoning, referred to above, is not
applicable unless the area is also "subject to frequent
and periodic flooding," and regular zoning, as already
noted, may not be used — in its present form — to pre-
vent development. Thus, over-all regional protection
seems necessary.

Areas of scenic value are another type of resource
fast disappearing with growth. Although many out-
standingly beautiful sites are protected by inclusion
in national, state, county, city or semi-public parks and
reservations, most of our still attractive countryside
remains in private hands. Year-round residents often
pick a community in which to live because of its appear-
ance, or at least the appearance of its surroundings.
Vacation home owners locate their seasonal dwellings
in what they consider to be an attractive area. The,
multi-million-dollar tourist industry is built on "See
beautiful so-and-so." All, if they think about it, are
relying on the indefinite continuation of the visual
attractions of their area.

But things are changing fast. With more time to
travel, more money to spend, more people on the
move, and express highways leading everywhere, even
the most remote sections are vulnerable to some sort
of development. Often this follows the roads and
secondary highways (if not the expressways, with
their limited access), so that although back land is
still open, the motorist is given the impression of

general urbanization. Roadside development is not

I'iik Journal

only linear, but spasmodic, so that mile after mile
of frontage is prematurely changed in character from
rural to developed, even though vacant frontage
intervenes.

In vacation areas, so many tourist facilities, mixed
with signs announcing others ahead, have sprung up
along the roadside one wonders how long it will be
before the vacationers themselves will be repelled by
the very facilities intended to serve them. Closer to
home, in suburbia proper, one suburb appears to be
merging into another, as the natural greenbelts sepa-
rating them are invaded by building along the length
sf every connecting artery.

Again, it is not a matter of development vs. no
development, but rather "a place for everything and
everything in its place." Due to the geographic scale
}f roadside development, its independence of political
Doundaries, the failure of many towns and cities to
ict, and the basic lack of really effective local zoning,
t would seem that regional planning and control is
jnce more the answer.

TIME FOR A CHANGE? The word "control" is
i dirty word to many, even when it is limited to "de-
velopment control." Yet, at the local level, we accept
and even welcome zoning regulations of sorts when
they "protect" our own property against a threatened
liise in the neighborhood that we don't want. We also
Iprotest when the open field in which our children
liave played (but which belongs to someone else) is
up for development, and we find that neither zoning
kor subdivision regulations can keep it open. The
jword "regional" also may stir people up, for by its
fcrery nature it means some loss of local autonomy.
Suburbanites as a group not only want no part of the
bentral city (though there are notable exceptions), but
Iso want no part of other suburbs, especially those
hat have not been as careful as theirs in the way past
b'owth was handled. This independent attitude is
rotected and encouraged by arbitrary political bound-
ries, nostalgic town meeting government, and a tax
Dolicy which promotes intense competition with other
towns to bring in high value industry, and to keep
Dut low value housing.

But perhaps it is time for a change. With our
tremendous mobility, our "home" is more and more our
region (and not just Town X). Whenever we cross
town boundaries into less advantaged other suburbs
and rural areas, we are almost as bothered (and some-
;imes, endangered) by congestion, noise, pollution, and
Tther deficiencies encountered there as are the area's
Dwn residents — at least momentarily so. And when-
ever we pay, through State and Federal taxes, toward
'equalizing" the general level of school, public health,
welfare, transportation, recreation and other public

and deficiencies."

services, we are in another way affected by the in-
adequacies of other parts. Isn't it time, therefore, to
insist on some over-all "quality control" — to have some
say as to how other communities develop, and how our
entire region grows?

THE SUGGESTED REMEDY. The first part of
the remedy herein suggested — regional planning — is
already increasingly available. Massachusetts is one
state where the entire land area is subject to planning
by existing regional agencies. But short of making
recommendations and reviewing certain applications
for Federal grants, most planning agencies are power-
less. Let us give these agencies the second, and most
important part of the remedy for chaotic growth — over-
all, regional control of all future urban development.

Development control regulations would be some-
what like local zoning regulations applied at the re-
gional level, but, unlike local zoning, would include
non-development districts and growth-priority areas.
In growth areas, permitted types of use and average
gross density would be set, leaving to local ordinances
the specification of net densities, building heights, yard
requirements, and other details.

Perhaps other remedies are also possible, but time is
short, and each day another 1000 acres becomes the
city of the future; each day, more farms, flood plains,
wetlands, and scenic areas are lost forever; each day,
more urban sprawl, much of it shoddy, covers the land.
It is the technology we have created that facilitates
this change, so perhaps we do have an obligation to
deal with its consequences. Among the responsible
causes are our ability to travel long distances between
home and work (and still longer on vacation), to easily
alter the shape of the earth, and to erect rapidly and
cheaply innumerable structures thereon. While inside
these structures — be they homes, businesses or in-
dustries — there is remarkable efficiency, order, and
good planning; outside, extravagance, disorder and
destruction still reign. Let us now plan and improve
our man-made environment on a grander scale.

A Computation Primer

The computer has become the
universal symbol of our modern
technology. If a product or service
is to be considered efficient and up
to date, it is somehow associated
with a computer. Yet, for all prac-
tical purposes, electronic digital
computers are less than 20 years
old, with the real propagation of
computer installations occurring in
only the last ten years. Why has
this happened? Is it a transient
effect or are we only at the begin-
ning of a really steep growth curve
for computers development? In
point of fact, the report of the Sci-
entific Advisory Committee to the
President of the United States
maintains that the use of computers
and the discipline of Computer
Science are just entering into their
infancy after a period of develop-
ment unparalleled in the history of
technology. In order to understand
what has happened and to gain
some insight into what might hap-
pen, we must define Computer
Science and examine the broad use
of computing equipment.

Computer Science is the study of
the fundamental nature of informa-
tion, how it can be processed, stored,
retrieved, transmitted, and dis-
played for use by both humans and
machines. It covers the design and
control of the devices that handle
information, their basic elements,
and how they can be organized into
the most efficient processing system.
It treats the solution of a wide

variety of problems with support
of non-human intellectual amplifica-
tion. It is, therefore, intimately
involved with almost every facet
of human endeavor and as a dis-
cipline it could not exist without
the advent of the high speed digital
computer.

Historically, computing and the
use of the computer has developed
in three major areas. These are
scientific, commercial, and process
control applications. The com-
puter, because of its high arith-
metic and logical speeds, can handle
scientific problems that otherwise
are intractable. The IBM 360
Model 40 Computer at the Com-
putation Center at Tech can per-
form over 6,000,000 additions or
compare over 3,000,000 different
five-character strings in one minute,
and there are a number of faster
machines than the 360 Model 40
available. Even with this speed,
problems handled by junior and
senior students have required over
a half-hour to process. Graduate
and research work has used hours
of computer time for single runs.

But there are still thousands of
jobs performed which execute in
seconds. The great bulk of these
short runs are of a test or experi-
mental nature to try out a program
or prove a concept. In this work,
the computer user attempts to
interact directly with the computer
to solve a particular problem. The
trouble is, however, that the ma-

jority of current computers are
organized to operate most efficiently
in what is called the batch mode.
That is, a number of like jobs are
collected (batched) and performed
in sequence and when the batch is
exhausted the computer is set up
to perform another function. This
creates a turnaround time problem
for the user of the computer. He
may have to wait minutes, hours, or
even days for results of runs that
took seconds to be completed be-
cause of the schedule set up for use
of the equipment. The batch
mode is efficient for machine utili-
zation but can be very wasteful of
the human resource.

The scientist or engineer, be he
a student, professional, or scholar,
would like response from the com-
puter in the same time order asl
the problem posed. If the work
took a second, the answer should
be available in seconds, if a minute
was required, then minutes could
elapse for a reply and so on. The
trend for computer systems will be
in the direction of so-called time
shared direct response computer
resources, and the effect will be
profound. The scientist and en
gineer will make much greater use
of the computer because this power
will be accessible and convenient
both in terms of rapid response to
problems from the computer and
geographical availability from com-
puter terminal devices that are lo-
cated mar or in his working area.

This proper use of the computer
will allow many scientists to assess
the system and give them the im-
pression they have the exclusive
use of the equipment. In reality,
jthe computer is performing the
shorter tasks rapidly and returning
these results, while the longer jobs
are simultaneously being processed.
In addition, the means by which
a scientific problem can be de-
scribed to the computer is becoming
simpler and more direct for the
human user. The earliest example
of this was the development of
the FORTRAN or the FORmula
RANslater language for program-
ling scientific problems. Now
here are a multiplicity of languages
nd packages available to handle
oth special and general engineer-
ng situations. Examples of these
roblem-oriented languages are
PSS (General Purpose Simulation
System) and CSMP (Continuous
System Modeling Program) which
(are being used by the Mechanical
Engineering Department and others
in their research and education
activities and ICES (Integrated
Civil Engineering System) which
is extensively utilized by the Civil
Engineering Department. It has
been estimated that there have
been almost 1,000 different com-
puter languages established in the
[ast 15 years. While these lan-
guages and programs are often of
real benefit to the user, they also
demand extensive computer re-
sources for their maintenance and
sxecution so that the basic com-
puter needed to support education
and research activities is far more
sophisticated than was required
even two years ago.

The Journal

The commercial and adminis-
trative use of the computer has
shown the same type of expansion
as was found in the scientific area.
In this case, the computer found
its initial utilization because of its
ability to handle and process large
volumes of information. Again, the
IBM 360/40 Computer at the Com-
putation Center can read cards at
the rate of approximately 1,000 per
minute, and print over 1,000 lines
of 132 characters of information at
the same time. Tremendous vol-
umes of information may be stored
compactly on magnetic tape or
magnetic disks and can be read and
written at even faster rates. The
four 2311 Disk Drives attached to
the computer at the Center are
capable of transferring information
at the rate of 135,000 bytes per
second. A byte is a term used to
connote a unit of information con-
taining eight binary digits. It

can be used to describe a full range
of special, alphabetical and numer-
ical characters. There are currently
available a broad range of input
and output devices for computer
which can perform information
transfer between media, some of
these at substantially higher rates
than those devices now used at the
Computation Center. All of this
means that records that might have
taken weeks of intensive manual
effort can be processed at a higher
degree of accuracy and at a much
lower cost on a computer in a
matter of minutes or hours.

Almost any type of commercial
processing activity is now suscep-
tible to the computer process. For
example, the entire student record
processing, not only at Worcester
Polytechnic Institute, but for eight
other area colleges, is now being
done at the Computation Center
during periods when the computer

is not otherwise being utilized for
research or educational activities
and the records are stored on only
a few reels of magnetic tape.

Like the scientist, the adminis-
trative or management information
programmer is equipped with power-
ful languages to describe the prob-
lems facing him.

The most significant of these
languages is COBOL, the COmmon
Business Oriented Language, for
programming administrative prob-
lems. Since these management
problems must cope with a wide
variety of data formats, and handle
a number of different types of
records and files, the COBOL lan-
guage is even more complicated
from a Computer Science point of
view than the Fortran used in
scientific processing. Because of
this, COBOL requires a larger and
more powerful computer. The CO-
BOL language was used exclusively
in developing the Student Record
Systems and significantly reduced
the effort to make the system
functional.

The evolution in the area of busi-
ness has been towards the develop-
ment of integrated information sys-
tems. The concept behind these
systems is to minimize the amount
of essential data that has to be
processed and handled by human
beings and to maximize accuracy,
efficiency and timeliness in reports
generated by the computing system.

In order to do this, the system
must be properly designed. The
technique of design is within the
discipline of Computer Science but
the same care and attention to
detail are required here as with
any engineering project.

The manager, and in some re-
spects we are all managers, still
demands from the computer com-
plex the same characteristics that
the scientist needed — convenience
in response time and location. Re-
sponse time to obtain the informa-
tion needed for action while the
action can be appropriately made

and physical proximity to terminals
to allow convenient use of the
information are now recognized as
key parts of a Management In-
formation System.

Since the manager deals with
large quantities of data, this data
must be stored in a unit which is
accessible to the computer. The
early '60's saw the beginnings of
low cost bulk random access storage
devices and this development con-
tinues to be vigorous. Computers
with hundreds of millions of bytes
of storage directly available to
the computer are now common.
The future management oriented
computer complex will have power-
ful input/output unit time sharing
capabilities and large scale direct
access files.

The third major area of the use
of the computer has been in process
control. Here, both analog and
digital computers are finding usage.
Typical of this type of system is
the EAI 680 analog and PDP-7
digital computer complex used by
the Electrical Engineering Depart-
ment. The system, a powerful
hybrid computer complex, is used
for educational and research ac-
tivities.

The type of system has the capa-
bility of handling analog data
generated by sensing elements, an-
alyzing it and sending out appro-
priate response to control units all
within a small time increment.
Real time computers like these
actually operate in the thousandth
of a second (millisecond) time range
allowing large dynamic physical
systems to be controlled.

Chemical plants and electrical
power generator units as well as a
number of military space vehicles
and complexes have already come
under such real time computer
control.

It is clear thai in the future,
computer usage supported by the
appropriate development of Com-
puter Science will lend to merge all

these various application areas.
The scientist and engineer is more
and more often dealing with prob-
lems that generate large amounts
of complicated data requiring ex-
tensive files. He will also demand
not only a numerical and logical
ability of the computer, but suffi-
cient input and output ability to
cope with these files. In addition,
he would like to, if possible, have
the data logged directly from his
experiments into the computer.

This indicates the computer of
the near future will operate in a
time shared mode, have powerful
arithmetic and logical capabilities,
wide band input/output channels,
large scale direct access storage and
analog resources. In addition, it
will be supported with both general
purpose programming languages and
specialized problem oriented pack-
ages. It will require professionally
educated personnel to support and
operate it successfully. These men
and women must be supplied by
our colleges and universities.

Recognizing this need for both
the training of engineers and sci-
entists in the use of computers as
well as professional computer sci-
entists, Worcester Tech has re-
cently initiated two programs; a
graduate program leading to a
Master's degree in Computer Sci-
ence and a required Freshman
course and elective. Future de-
mands will properly require a sig-
nificant expansion in offices in
Computer Science. In addition,
twenty per cent of the courses at
Tech are now using the computer
as a normal part of the work. In
the Mechanical Engineering De-
partment this figure is about thirty-
seven per cent. In the future, it is
expected that the majority of all
courses will use the computer rou-
tinely as part of the educational
experience. In fact, the futures of
the computer, engineering, and cn-
ginccring education arc closely en-
twined and brighter because ol
each other.

weekend which would not only in-
clude commencement, but the re-
union of eleven classes.

The long weekend actually started
on Thursday as alumni started ar-
riving in anticipation of greeting
classmates and viewing the physical
plant which holds something new
on every visit.

On Friday, it became very evi-
dent that there was going to be a
large turnout as Daniels Hall began
to fill with alumni from all across
the country. After arrival many
had just enough time to prepare
for nine reunion dinners scheduled
that night. Whether the reunion
was large or small, all enjoyed the
memories as only alumni can.

Reunion Day

Saturday, June 7, the on-campus
activity began with breakfast and
registration at Morgan Hall. It
was a beautiful day, and the re-
union continued over coffee on the
quadrangle as alumni who arrived
late had a chance to find their re-
spective classmates. During coffee,
the 50- Year Associates met and
elected George R. Rich, '19, their
new president. It was the second
such honor for George, as he had
been elected president of his class
on the previous evening.

Class pictures were then taken
prior to the luncheon. It was inter-
esting to note that the class of '29
had discarded their hats and canes
and wore large (six-inch) lapel
buttons with their year in large
numerals. After pictures, all as-
sembled in Morgan Hall for the
annual reunion luncheon which
would conclude the formal activities
for the day.

The invocation was given by
Herbert M. Carleton, '08, and the
luncheon was served. After his
opening remarks, Robert E. Higgs,
'40, newly-elected president of the
Alumni Association, introduced
President Storko.

This was the last address that
President Storke would make to the

Alumni Association due to his re-
tirement in July. He discussed the
college in general, referring to the
large incoming freshman class and
the new Stoddard Residential Center
set for completion in 1970. He
spoke of the rise in female enroll-
ment, of the progress of the plan-
ning group and planning day, and
he announced the decision of the
Board of Trustees to make R.O.T.C.
completely voluntary. He took this
opportunity to look back on his
seven years of service at Tech and
thanked the Alumni Association for
their continued support.

The annual Alumni Meeting was
then held. Warren B. Zepp, '42,
submitted the Secretary -Treasurer's
Report, which was duly made,
seconded, and accepted. There be-
ing no further business, President
Higgs adjourned the meeting, and
the presentation of awards followed.

First of the presentations was the
50-year diplomas by President Harry
P. Storke and Dean Martin C. Van
de Visse.

Dr. William E. Hanson, '32,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
presented the Robert H. Goddard
Award for Professional Achievement
to Walter B. Dennen, '18, Michael
C. Sodano, '31, and John L. Brown,
Jr., '46.

The Herbert F. Taylor Award was
then presented to Daniel F. O'Grady,
'30, for Distinguished Service to the
Institute. President Robert E.
Higgs made the presentation.

Next on the program were the
class messages. Class Gift Chair-
man Robert C. Sessions, '19, repre-
sented his class, which donated over
$70,000 to the Institute. The Class
of 1944 was represented by Irving
James Donahue, Jr. The 25-year
class donated $4,000 for use in the
George C. Gordon Library. The
graduating class, represented by
class treasurer James Atkinson,
donated S 1 <>(i to the Alumni Associa-
tion and $500 to the school for the
improvement i>f the quadrangle.

Warren 15. Zepp, '42, then pre-

sented the Class of 1917 Attendance
Cup to the Class of 1919 for best
attendance on a percentage basis.

Congratulations to six of our j
alumni who travelled over 3,000
miles to attend their respective re-
unions. There were five who came '
from California : Jacob J. Hagopian,
'39, John W. Hughes, '39, Frans E.
Strandberg, '39, Richard B. Wilson,
'39, and Richard Walberg, '23. One
alumnus, Michael C. Sodano, '31,
traveled to Worcester from Yoko-
hama, Japan.

The formal activities then closed
with the singing of the Alma Mater,
and the Benediction given by
Herbert M. Carleton, '08.

For many, the day was not over.
Several attended the R.O.T.C.
Commissioning Ceremonies held in
Alden Memorial Auditorium. Brig-
adier General Bernard W. Rogers,
Commandant of Cadets at West
Point, presented commissions to 27
new second lieutenants.

There were still two reunion
dinners scheduled for Saturday
night. The 25-year class held its
dinner at the Franklin Manor. The
40-year class, which met at the
Publick House in Sturbridge, was
fortunate to have Prof. Kenneth G.
Merriam, MS '35, speak at its re-
union. Prof. Merriam, who had also
spoken at '29's tenth reunion.
helped bring back many fond memo-
ries of faculty and the aero option
which was the theme of the reunion.

These two reunions marked the
end of all organized alumni activi-
ties. Still, many alumni remained
to watch the Commencement cere-
monies and welcome the new alumni
into the Association. The end of
the alumni activities, which marked
the beginning of graduation activi-
ties, marked only the end of tangible
meetings. All who came to the Re-
union left with a belter feeling — a
feeling of renewed friendships and
fond memories they again realized

would never be forgot ten.

Saturday evening marked the

ties as members of the senior class
gathered at the Yankee Drummer
for the annual semi-formal dinner
dance. Bob Nelson and his Orches-
tra provided the music.

Sunday, June 8, was the day that
270 eager seniors had been awaiting
for what seemed at the time forever,
but now looking back seemed very
short. This was the day when sen-
iors were proud but parents were
more proud. It was a time for
pomp and circumstance. It was the
culmination of four short but most
important years.

Baccalaureate

The day's activities started the
way in which they should, with
Baccalaureate Services held in Alden
Memorial Hall at 10:00 a.m. The
Baccalaureate Sermon was delivered
by Rev. Timothy J. Harrington,
auxiliary bishop of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Worcester.

Bishop Harrington opened his
sermon by noting the great advances
made by man and particularly the
United States in the past genera-
tion. He then turned to one of the
largest problems facing the U.S. and
the world today — poverty.

He stated. "We have islands of
affluence owned by a minority of
the world and vast seas of poverty,
misery and hunger surrounding
these small islands of wealth."

He continued describing the con-
ditions nniler which the poverty-

stricken live and then stated, "But
I the worst thing of all is that they
\ live without hope, yes, hope. Pov-
i erty is a corroding acid that attacks
I the human spirit."

"There is a world of difference

I between being poor and being broke.

Spiritual bankruptcy rather than

material bankruptcy seems a source

of the many great social maladies

of our times," he added. "It is

I easier, to be sure, to give the

jWe dress his body free of charge,

i but we forget his heart. We end

I the hunger in his stomach free of

He concluded by charging the

i critical phase in American history.

"You graduates of 1969, your

Graduation

The high point of Commencement
arrived as the faculty donned their
brightly-colored academic hoods and
led the procession into Harrington
Auditorium. Dean Richard F.
Morton, Marshal, and Prof. William
R. Grogan, '46, Honorary Marshal,
led the procession. After the in-
vocation, given by Rev. Dr. Wallace
W. Robbins, and the National An-
them, President Harry P. Storke in-
troduced Gov. Daniel J. Evans of
Washington, who delivered the
principal address.

Gov. Evans urged the graduates:
"Instead of manning the barricades
on our campuses, go into the streets
and use your educational skills to
make education work on the fester-
ing problems of our 20th century
America.

"There is where you are needed,"
said Evans. "This is where America
cries for help. This is where the
action is."

Keynote speaker at last year's
Republican National Convention,
the 43-year-old Evans said educa-
tion must end the danger of "intel-

lectual isolationism" by joining busi-
ness and government to find "com-
mon ground" to correct failures
"which are everywhere apparent" in
America.

"Whether we succeed or fail is
largely up to you," Evans told the
graduates, adding, "If you do choose
to 'opt out' — to become the genera-
tion with a cause but with no com-
mitment — then I believe this nation
is in deep trouble.

"But, if you take your cause
into society — and not out of it;
if you display the same courage in
positive action as you have shown
in dissent, then I believe this nation
can hope once again.

"Let the students and the gradu-
ate students of architecture work
on the real problems of our urban
community while they are in school,
rather than the sterile theoretical
projects of an academic Valhalla.

"Let the engineers help to re-
build ; let the medical students help
to devise a new delivery system
which will bring adequate health
care to urban poor.

"Let the great liberal arts tra-
dition be used to bring new light
and understanding and hope to the
faceless and nameless dwellers of our
shameful slums.

"Above all," added Evans, "what-
ever else it does, this generation
should continue to be the conscience
of the nation."

Evans charged colleges and uni-
versities today are "in danger of
intellectual isolationism — a retreat
from the world of reality into an
academic ivory tower remote from
the challenges of society."

He said if we challenge our stu-
dents to become reinvolved in the
problems of social progress, we must
challenge the university to do like-
wise, adding, "I believe the colleges
and universities of this nation must
make a greater effort to become
directly involved in urban America."

Evans then called for creation of
urban campuses across the nation,
and for universities and colleges to
create graduate study programs in
urban affairs.

He said both government and pri-
vate enterprise need people who
understand the problems of urban
environment and urban transporta-
tion and the economics of welfare,
and the schools must provide them.

Evans said those who look at
today's campus with "both disgust
and disdain," fail to see behind the
turmoil and the unrest "the begin-
ning of a new order, a new and pro-
found concern for society and — with
it — the nation's new hope for a
better world tomorrow."

Out of the campus unrest, Evans
said, "We really have found a gen-
eration which is willing to stand up
and be counted, a generation which
does believe in something, a genera-
tion which is not afraid to be our
critic, or afraid of the consequences.
And that is something not to fear,
but to be coveted. "

At the conclusion of Gov. Evans'
arldress, President Storke presented
degrees to 270 undergraduates and
43 candidates for Master of Science.

The highest academic degree, Doctor
of Philosophy, was awarded to 11
men. Twenty -five men from local
industry were awarded certificates
for completing four years of evening
study in Tech's School of Industrial
Management.

Six honorary degrees were con-
ferred by Dr. William E. Hanson,
'32, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees. Receiving Honorary
Doctor of Engineering degrees were
Gov. Daniel Jackson Evans, Arthur
E. Smith, '33, President, United
Aircraft Corp., and James E. Smith,
'06, founder, The National Radio
Institute.

Those receiving Honorary Doctor
of Science degrees were Robert D.
Harrington, President, Paul Revere
Corp., and generous benefactor of
the Institute, Dr. C. Lester Hogan,
President, Fairchild Camera & In-
strument Corp., and Very Rev.
Raymond J. Swords, S.J., President,
Holy Cross College.

President's Address

Next on the program was Presi-
dent Storke's message. Sudden
stillness once more was evident, for
all present knew this would be a fare-
well message.

"Change, we hear, is in the air.
So let's change this routine, at long
last. Instead of a message to the
Graduating Class, by this very
Lame Duck President (at this
moment standing on his 'last leg'),
may I take a bit of license, in the
modern spirit of 'self-determina-
tion'?

"I prefer today to join with my
classmates of 1969 in a farewell
message to Worcester Tech.

"Our Alma Mater song well says
it:

"Long have we felt thy guiding

hand.

Thy teachings broad and free;"'
and, I go on :

"Willi praises loud in every land.

We'll show our love for thee." '

"Yes, you and 1 have all lasted.

and — one hopes — we have all par-
taken profitably, of the best that
Worcester Tech has had to offer —
by administration, faculty, donors
of financial aid, other family and
community friends. These recent
years have had their ups and
downs, but with 'ups', I think, pre-
dominating, as Worcester Tech has
been in the pulsating throes of
changing with the vitality of our
fascinating times. I predict that,
as some of us approach the age of
thirty — and indulgence in retrospect
thereupon becomes our privilege —
that 'best' will burgeon wider and
more lastingly in the small, very
select, highly competitive, range of
superiority. With it, of course, will
grow our pride that our Alma Mater
made so much available to us, gave
so richly to us, provided us so many
worthwhile experiences in 'growing
up.' In return she asks but for our
happiness, our success, our loyalty,
our support. However, she hopes
fondly that today — and then
through the many tomorrows, as we
challenge confidently our problems
in the seething world which we face
— we can ever say, honestly, simply :
'We are making this place a better
place because we are here.'

"To you" we are deeply grateful
for so much, Worcester Tech.

"Now, may God grant that the
good works for which Boynton Hill
is rightly well known and esteemed
continue, to the fullest benefit of
those countless aspiring Worcester
Tech students of the years to come.. .

"... as our Worcester Tech goes
on and on ... "

Upon completion of this message,
President Storke received a well-
deserved standing ovation which
lasted until he returned to center
stage and threw a snappy military
salute to the audience.

After the Benediction by Rev.
Robbins, the new alumni retired to
the quandrangle for a reception and
the traditional picture taking. An-
other successful Commencement had
ended.

Tech Alumnus— 1969 Version

The typical alumnus of today is markedly different from the alumnus
of just a decade ago. The W.P.I, graduate of today is far more con-
cerned and involved than his predecessor.

We believe that this increased participation and acceptance of
responsibility is the result of a two-way interaction:

1. The role of our Alumni Association is now one of continuous
activity and responsibility. It is the kind of organization that at-
tracts responsible people who want to make significant contri-
butions to worthwhile causes. To serve the cause of higher
education is one of the most needed personal contributions in the
world today.

2. The influx of intelligent, active, and responsible alumni volun-
teering to work for our Association has promoted its growth and
made possible our acceptance of greater and more diversified
responsibilities.

Long gone are the days when each of us, as an individual alumnus,
heard from the Alumni Association only once a year — at Fund Drive time.
Now we are aware of the many additional ways in which individual
alumni can, and must, participate and assist. Each of us is hearing
from the Tech Alumni Association many times each year with a variety
of challenges and opportunities.

Involvement in alumni activities is fun, and only through personal
experience can you appreciate the rewards of being a "Tech Alumnus —
1969 Version." Today we have constantly increasing numbers of your
classes and chapters working on such important functions as: Student-
Alumni Relations; Faculty-Alumni Relations; Alumni Fund; Admissions
(Prospective students); "The Journal"; Alumni Placement; Chapter
Programs; Redistricting; Council representation.

To whatever extent your time and energy permit, we urge you to
increase your participation in Alumni Association affairs. You will soon
see why the number of whole-hearted supporters is steadily rising; and
why personal conviction leads to greater and greater financial and non-
financial contributions.

Trustees Meet

Vote R.O.T.C. Voluntary

The Board of Trustees, at its
annual meeting on June 7, voted to
make R.O.T.C. an elective course
effective next fall. Last year at
this time, they had voted to reduce
the required amount of work in this
course from two years to one.
Further, they delegated to the
faculty and administration the re-
sponsibility for determining the
credit allowed for course work in
military science.

In May, the student body, in a
referendum, had indicated their
overwhelming opinion for the elimi-
nation of R.O.T.C. as a degree
requirement. By a slight margin,
they voted in favor of retaining some
academic credit for the course.

Also during May, the faculty had
voted for a voluntary program, by
a margin of 102-37.

The length of an R.O.T.C. orien-
tation program for all freshmen was
also left to the administration.

The Board approved a recom-
mendation to replace the existing
IBM 360/40 computer with an RCA
Spectra 70/46. The new unit, to be
installed this summer, will have a
time-sharing capability for as many
as fifty remote stations. The
Worcester Area College Computa-
tion Center, located in the Gordon
Library, will be responsible for this
new instrument.

Approval was voted to increase
available scholarship funds for next
year by $100,000.

New members elected to the
Board were Dr. Edward R. Funk,
'46B, and Howard G. Freeman, '40.
Funk is Professor of Welding Engi-
neering at Ohio State University in
Columbus and President of Cam-

bridge Metallurgical Corp., Boston.
He was elected a term member.
Freeman, who was elected a mem-
ber-at-large, is President of James-
bury Corp. of Worcester.

Re-elected as term members of
the Board were John E. Hossack,
'46, Vice President of the American
Appraisal Co. of Milwaukee, Wis.,
and Albert M. Demont, '31, Man-
ager of Professional Manpower
Development at the Research and
Development Center, General Elec-
tric Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Robert D. Harrington, life mem-
ber of the Board, was appointed to
the Executive Committee.

In his final report to the Board,
President Storke said, in part:

"I shall leave office at the end of
this college year with the knowledge
that my successor gives every indi-
cation of being an ideal choice to
lead Worcester Tech on to new
heights in higher education. Dr.
George W. Hazzard deserves, and I
know will receive, the finest support
from the Board of Trustees. His
selection was an important mile-
stone for Worcester Tech, for it in-
volved for the first time representa-
tive segments of the campus com-
munity: trustees, students, faculty,
alumni, and staff. No one in those
groups can ever say that he didn't
have full opportunity to contribute
his bit in the selection of President
No. 11.

"For my part, I repeat simply:
I am happy to be turning over my
rewarding responsibilities to Doctor
Hazzard. T think he is the educa-
tional leader whom Worcester Tech
needs as its eleventh President.

"I wish that more trustees eoiild

have found time to share with us
the wonderful experience of Plan-
ning Day on April 16. Eight
separate discussion sections of stu-
dents, faculty, administration,
alumni, and trustees gave serious,
constructive, and imaginative con-
sideration to the long range future
of Worcester Tech. Basis for their
deliberations was the comprehensive
preliminary report of the President's
Planning Group, which had done a
masterful, rush-order job of probing
into the entire fabric of the college,
touching on both our strong and
weak areas. Their initial task was
not to make decisions or firm rec-
ommendations, but rather to eval-
uate Tech as it is today and to pre-
sent points for broad discussion
later. The focal point of Planning
Day was the list of a dozen possible
over-all objectives toward which the
college might work.

"In accordance with those ground
rules, no specific conclusions were
reached. Rather, recorders at each
session compiled complete notes on
the many fine ideas and points of
view discussed, which were turned
over to the Planning Committee.
They, in turn, will correlate the
notes in preparation for summer
work and a second report, which
will be issued in September prior
to a second Planning Day. Final
recommendations are expected by
June of 1970. This, you must ad-
mit, is a formidable task, but well
worth the most dedicated efforts of
all.

"Perhaps the widest comment at
the conclusion of Planning Day was
that from faculty, praising the im-
portant contributions of the 150
students who had so eagerly partici-
pated. It was most gratifying to
hear this universal compliment to
our students and at the same time
a little sad to sense that their in-
terest, reasonable approaches, and
constructive observations should
come as such a surprise to so many
people who work with them every
dav. We have alwavs looked on our

III! JontN VI.

new graduates as maturing young
men, who would be well qualified to
take their places in the world. Yet
surely they must reach that stage
of their development sometime be-
fore June of their final year in col-
lege, because there is no magical
power in the legalistic words which
are intoned at their Commencement
or inscribed on their diplomas. It
could just be that many of us older
timers are still underestimating the
capacity and the potential of the
young undergraduate student of
today.

"In the su mm ary comments of
the committee's first report, they
emphasized one of Worcester Tech's
greatest assets; 'Our student body

is definitely ahead of most others
academically and in creative citi-
zenship, and these assets should be
used more in framing our image.'
Surely in these days when campus
turmoil seems to be the major news
of the day, we should be very proud
of a student body which has so
thoroughly entered into the co-
operative spirit of evolutionary plan-
ning for a greater Worcester Tech.

"And so we come to the close of
this final Storke epistle to the
trustees. Originally, the letter was
sent only to members of the Board;
for several years, a copy has been
sent to all faculty and administra-
tion and to the Tech News, so that
its information could receive the

widest possible distribution through
the entire campus; also, copies are
sent to alumni chapters. There are
very few matters of interest at Tech
which cannot and should not be
communicated to all interested
people. The open book is necessary
to real progress. The more we all
understand, the better we can all
cooperate proudly, always ready to
appraise ourselves, always anxious
to take fearlessly those positive
steps which our future success de-
mands. This is the spirit which
abounds on the Tech campus today,
I believe. I feel sure that it will go
on and on.

"And so, I am certain, will
Worcester Tech."

The Alumni Council

Robert E. Higgs, '40 Elected Association President

A new Register of Membership
will be published by the Association
in 1970. This was authorized by
the Alumni Council at their annual
meeting on Friday, June 6. More
than 35 delegates and officers were
present.

Elected President of the Asso-
ciation was Robert E. Higgs, '40.
Also elected as members-at-large of
the Executive Committee were
Charles C. Bonin, '38, and Francis
S. Harvey, '37. Re-elected as Vice
President was Rafael R. Gabarro,
'51, and as Secretary-Treasurer,
Warren B. Zepp, '42. Higgs suc-
ceeds Arthur D. Tripp, Jr., '36.

In his report to the Council,
Tripp called for increased efforts to
involve larger numbers of alumni in
the programs of the Association.
He singled out the chapter meeting
programs as an area needing at-
tention.

Higgs is the Manager of National
Order Handling, Systems and Data

The Journal

Processing, for the Electronic Com-
ponents and Devices Division of
RCA. He is headquartered in
Edison, N.J. He was a member of
the Alumni Fund Board from 1958
to 1966 and was elected a member-
at-large of the Executive Committee
in 1968. For many years he helped
on the Alumni Fund, including key-
man, in the Northern New Jersey
Chapter. He has also been active in
the Techni-Forum program and as
an alumni admissions counselor.

Bonin is President of Chemical
Construction Corp., a subsidiary of
Electronic Bond and Share Co. He
was elected a member of the Board
of Trustees in 1967. Previously, he
served first as a member-at-large of
the Executive Committee of the
Alumni Association from 1964-66,
and then as a Vice President from
1966-68.

Harvey, who is also a member of
the Board of Trustees, elected in
1966, is President and Treasurer of

Harvey and Tracy, consulting engi-
neers in Worcester. He has been
active in the Worcester County
Chapter and the Alumni Council.
He served as a vice president of the
Alumni Association from 1965-67.
He is a member of the college's Ad
Hoc Committee on admissions.

A highlight of the meeting was
the presentation of a portfolio of
congratulatory letters to President
Storke on the occasion of his retire-
ment. In addition, he was presented
with a portable color television set
and a portable tape recorder.

In his report to the Council, the
president stated that, in his con-
sidered judgment, his successor, Dr.
George W. Hazzard, is the right
man for the college at this time.
He noted that he had made only
three or four suggestions to his
successor. Among them was one of
interest to the Council. He stated
that he recommended that in the

265 Attend New York Chapter Meeting

Would you believe that an alumni
chapter meeting could draw an
attendance of 265 people? Well,
the New York and Northern New
Jersey Chapters combined their
efforts to achieve this outstanding
attendance record.

Faced with a waning interest
amongst its alumni members, the
New York Alumni Chapter, under
the superb direction of President
Stephen J. Spencer, '49, decided
to stimulate some enthusiasm. An
executive committee brainstorming
session resulted in the mailing of
a questionnaire to determine what
activities would appeal to the mem-
bership.

One of the most popular choices
selected by the members was for a
dinner meeting at the United Na-
tions. The initial attempts at
arranging the meeting were met
by rebuffs from U.N. staff members
who stated that their facilities were
not available to outside groups.
However, it was determined thai
at senile prior time one outside
group did manage to hold a meet ing

there. That group was the Harvard
Business School Alumni. We were
determined to be the second meeting
group allowed, and through the
intervention of a common friend,
we were able to solicit the assist-
ance of the Ambassador from Saudi
Arabia, Jamil Baroodi.

By his political influence, Mr.
Baroodi gained our admission to
the U.N. facilities for a dinner
meeting, and he consented to be the
guest speaker covering the topic of
the current Middle East situation.

However, there was one stipula-
tion; we were to provide a minimum
of 200 people at $11.00 per person
and it had to be a weeknight.
This was quite a challenge, and
we asked Norm Taupeka's Northern
New Jersey Chapter to collaborate
with us in this endeavor. The
result was an outstanding success
as 175 alumni, wives, and sweet-
hearts plus 00 guests turned out
for the event. Alumni from the
far areas of Long Island, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, ;m<l Poughkeepsie
drove the many miles to Man-

hattan to support this significant
happening. Recent graduates were
in abundance, and both the younger
set and old grads had happy re-
unions with schoolmates they had
not seen in some time.

Ambassador Baroodi, who was
one of the founders of the Human
Rights Commission, has been at
the U.N. since its inception. His
vivid interpretations of the history
and problems of the Middle East
caused some lively pro and con
comments by the audience. A
spirited question and answer period
resulted in some stimulating partici-
pation by members of the gathering.
Prominently in evidence during the
talk was the NBC Television News
camera crew who filmed the speech.
Also conspicuous was the photog-
rapher from United Press Inter-
national who took flash pictures
throughout the evening.

The meeting was so successful
that a similar one is being contem-
plated with aii Israeli Representa-
tive as the main speaker, or pos-
sibly even an Aral)- Israeli debate.

A Few Suggestions and Thoughts on

Programs for W.P.I. Alumni Chapters

Throughout the Country

Stephen J. Spencer, '49

Chapter Programs Chairman

Because of the success of our Unit-
ed Nations meeting this past winter,
I was asked to accept the newly
created post of Chapter Programs
Chairman. I was told that this
would consist merely of making sug-
gestions to the Chapters on how to
improve their program meetings and
boost attendance. And that is all
that this Chairmanship could pro-
vide by remote control.

There is no pat formula that I
know of for a successful program.
The following, however, are a few
suggestions which I feel are a must
for a good program !

1. Dues Increase Chapter dues
to $5.00 per year. A Chapter can-
not function properly today on $2.00
and $3.00 dues of the past. The
extra money is necessary for mailing
costs alone.

In New York after a close vote,
where the dissidents argued that an
increase to $5.00 would drive away
at least half of the dues paying mem-
bers, the New York Chapter in-
creased dues to $5.00, beginning the
1968-1969 year. The results were
most gratifying. The dues paying
membership doubled and the Chap-
ter treasury nearly quadrupled.

2. Contacts A Chapter member
must have the feeling of belonging.
He likes and wants attention. In-
creased contact with the Chapter
member other than just fund raising
will give him this feeling. Frequent
contacts should be made via letters,
by telephone and in person.

The Journal

3. Questionnaire A beginning
point for this contact should be a
questionnaire asking for yes and no
answers and suggestions from the
membership for a better meetings
program.

4. Newsletter Post the results in
a newsletter and continue to send
out a newsletter after every meeting
informing the membership on the
doings of the last meeting and list
the names of those who attended.
Relate the highlights of the principal
speaker's talk and tell them some-
thing about the next meeting coming
up. This newsletter can be ex-
panded to provide news and happen-
ings of Chapter members.

5. Meetings Plan about four (4)
meetings a year. Begin immedi-
ately with a luncheon meeting, then
a ladies' night dinner meeting in
mid-winter, followed by another
luncheon meeting and ending with a
ladies' day spring meeting.

6. Current Events Make your
mid-winter meeting your most im-
portant. Choose a current events
topic. Choose a non-technical sub-
ject. Choose a controversial sub-
ject. The more controversial the
better. Make this a combined
meeting with an adjacent Chapter if
possible. Set up tables of 8 and 10
persons and give members the
opportunity to organize their own
table of friends and guests. En-
courage them to bring friends.

7. Charge Don't be afraid of the
charges per person. If the program

is good and pushed hard, the mem-
bers will pay. The charge for the
U.N. meeting in New York was
$11.00 per person. Set up reserva-
tions with payment in advance.

8. Young Alumni To attract
younger members, appoint one man
from each class to contact his class-
mates for a reunion at each meeting.
For example, at the first meeting
have a reunion for the classes of
62-63-64. The next meeting 65-66-
67, etc.

For last year's graduates, ob-
tain the new names and addresses
from the alumni office and invite
each new member free of charge to
the next meeting. Inform him of
the other members of his class who
are being contacted. Give each new
member a feeling of knowing some-
one at the meeting.

9. Publicity Arrange for pub-
licity. The more publicity the
better. Get W.P.I. alumni in the
news through your local papers as
well as the international press.
Coordinate this publicity with the
publicity offices on the Hill. Let's
get the world to know that Worces-
ter Tech is in Worcester, Mass.,
and not in Wooster, Ohio. This in
itself will personally benefit each
alumnus and will make us more
proud of being graduates of Worces-
ter Tech. Thus with this pride it
will help to make our fund raising
easier and increase fund totals
yearly.

Undergraduate Viewpoint

Impressions of Spring

£y Howard H. Shore, '69

This time of year normally elicits
ecstatic sighs of relief from gradu-
ating seniors. Now that the col-
lege grind is over, the Tech graduate
will be able to look back on his
educational experience and tell his
successors with confidence, "Aw,
it was easy." But, of course, once
is enough. The important con-
sideration is that with his new
degree, Joe Tech can now forge his
way into society with hopes for
future happiness and prosperity.

At least that's the way it should
be. Unfortunately, things are not
quite that simple. One senior in-
formed me, "It's too bad I couldn't
take the job I really wanted, but
I had to grab the best opportunity I
could to avoid the draft." Although
not universally true, it does appear
that most seniors going into in-
dustry (and not receiving an
R.O.T.C. commission) have taken
jobs that are reasonably safe from
military interference. The lot of
the seniors bound for graduate
school is much different. With
the change in policy that previously
allowed for deferments for students
in advanced degree programs, they
probably face the worst dilemma
of their lives. Some have taken
temporary draft-safe jobs as teach-
ers, a few contemplate going to
Canada, many just don't know.
Now that the moment of truth has
arrived, previously apathetic under-
graduates have taken a sudden
interest in the future of the war.
As one senior noted, "The sad
effect of the whole mess is that
the normal exuberance of happiness
found in graduating seniors is eon-

spicuously absent in this year's
crop."

The April 16 Planning Day spon-
sored by the President's Planning
Group was an interesting experi-
ment in brainstorming. The pur-
pose of the day-long venture was to
assimilate as many ideas as possible
concerning the future of the In-
stitute. The faculty participation
was outstanding; the student par-
ticipation, although light statis-
tically, was hailed by the Com-
mittee. Both students and faculty
were pleased with the opportunity
to engage in personal discourse
about something other than course
work. Professor C. William Ship-
man, Chairman of the Planning
Group, said, in a letter to the
Tech News, "At a time when other
campuses are rocked by the turmoil
of unreasoned confrontation, we
can all be proud that frank and
constructive criticism is the way
at Worcester Tech. Surely where
we have such a demonstrated well
of talented good will, our efforts to
'make our good college an excellent
one' have every chance of success."

With the planning operation suc-
cessfully initiated, the coming year
offers great hope for more profound
change on The Hill.

Even the graduate students have
reacted to the spirit of change now
permeating the campus. Some post-
grads, evidently feeling a need for
their involvement in the affairs of
the predominantly undergraduate
student body, have formed the Ad
Hoc Committee for a Graduate
Student Council. The Committee
states, "We have had some positive

indications that representatives of a
Worcester Tech Graduate Student
Council would be welcomed to take
an active part in the work to deter-
mine the future course of W.P.I.
Further, the availability of our
services and the nature of our con-
cerns would be made known to the
individuals and committees of the
administration, alumni, faculty, and
undergraduates by such a graduate
student council."

A recent student referendum on
R.O.T.C. has stimulated more de-
bate on this national collegiate
controversy. In the preferential
balloting, students voted to make
the program completely voluntary
with no academic credit. Running
a close second was the proposal to
make R.O.T.C. voluntary, but with
academic credit. The final dis-
tribution of the preferential votes
showed 413 students in favor of a
voluntary program with no aca-
demic credit, while 337 voted for a
totally voluntary program with a
short introduction period and aca-
demic credit. The results of the
referendum are not surprising in
view of the increased national trend
to separate the military from aca-
demic life.

Whatever else can be said about
Tech undergraduates, they cannot
be accused of lack of business
initiative. On April 7, the Hog's
Head Concession opened its doors
for business in Morgan Hall, selling
cooked food, beer, and whiskey.
The three students masterminding
the operation evidently felt an in-
creased need on campus for more
personalized culinary service. Alas.
the venture was short-lived. The
business was terminated by some
unimpressed dorm counselors, and
its purveyors were prosecuted by
the Student Court. Notwithstand-
ing Dr. Cioddard himself, Tech will
long remember these three coura-
geous cut rcpreneurs whose dauntless
business enterprise has earned them
a permanent place on tin- bad
conduct rolls of W.P.I.

William R. Grogan, '46

Named Outstanding
Teacher

A man of many interests has been
presented with the 10th Board of
Trustees Award for Outstanding
Teaching. William Robert Grogan,
'46, Professor of Electrical Engi-
neering, and chairman of the col-
lege's curriculum committee for
the past three years, was chosen
by a committee of faculty and
students.

Characterized by his deep con-
cern for the welfare of his fellow
man, Prof. Grogan has, over the
years, displayed a versatility of
interests. His citation readily de-
tails his varied activities both in
and out of the classroom.

Upon receiving the award at the
annual faculty dinner on May 12, he
attributed much of his success to
the influence and inspiration exerted
on him by his longtime colleague,
now retired, Prof. Hobart H. New-
ell, '18. Prof. Newell received the
same award in 1960.

Except for service in the Navy,
in which he held the rank of Lt.,
Prof. Grogan has been a member
of the faculty since graduation.
He was appointed a professor in
1962.

The Journal

CITATION

William Robert Grogan, Professor of Electrical
Engineering, has for many years shown himself an
outstanding W.P.I, teacher, a counselor ever ready
to help students, an inspiring leader in his own depart-
ment and in the school itself, and a prime mover in
joining the academic and industrial communities.

In the classroom Professor Grogan teaches in an
exceptionally orderly and systematic way. He relates
each detail of a subject clearly to the subject's struc-
ture; he knows exactly how to present that detail
in the most comprehensive manner. He leads in
developing and using training devices to increase
teaching and learning effectiveness. He has keen
insight into what is going on in his students' thinking.
He establishes quick and effective rapport with his
class.

Outside the class he is generous with his time in
helping individuals and living groups in his subjects
and in advising student activity groups. He was
president of his national fraternity one year, devoting
most of his weekends to flying around the United States
to hold airport chapter meetings.

Over the past ten years he has developed an out-
standing course in Engineering Economy including
group design and development projects with dollar-
orientation. He has recently extended this course
to include actual projects from nearby industries with
direct student practicing engineer contact. Engi-
neering managers help evaluate student solutions.

His numerous contributions to his department and
the school include chairmanship of an Electrical Engi-
neering Department Committee continuously develop-
ing and improving the curriculum, chairmanship of
an Institute Curriculum Committee with resultant
radical innovation to include the first available curricula
beyond traditional engineering and science, producing
a teaching theory and methods seminar for the entire
faculty. During these years he has also found time to
act as a consultant to the United States Navy on the
implementation of a shipboard missile system including
related personnel problems, as a consultant to Bell
Telephone Laboratories on the development of tech-
nical personnel and graduate education progress, and
as a consultant to the General Electric Company.

His activities bring great credit to himself, to Worces-
ter Polytechnic Institute, and to the teaching profes-
sion. The Faculty Award Committee therefore cites
Professor Grogan for distinguished service and for
distinguished excellence in teaching and designates
him recipient of the 1969 Faculty Award.

K. G. Merriam Retires

For more than 45 years, since
the last years of President Ira
Hollis' administration. Prof. Ken-
neth G. Merriam, MS '35, has been
a distinguished member of the col-
lege's mechanical engineering de-
partment. Countless students re-
member his deep, sonorous voice;
at times booming out in command-
ing tones, on other occasions so
low in volume that one would
almost have to strain to hear a
word, and yet all calculated to add

the proper emphasis and heighten
the process of learning for which
he is so well known. With the end
of this academic year, Prof. Mer-
riam is retiring.

"I guess the one thing I will
miss the most," he said, "will be
simply working with students. After
all, they are really what teaching
is all about. I have always felt
concerned about a student's wel-
fare — particularly those less able.
So I've always kept the 'heat' on

them, especially in the basic me-
chanics courses. These courses
are fundamental. For an engineer
to be competent, he must not only
have learned this material but
also the discipline of his mind.
This latter aspect is perhaps even
more important."

What about our current crop of
undergraduates, we asked. Have
we cause for concern? "I don't
think so," he replied. "Remember,
what we read about in the papers
only represents a small minority.
It's the great silent majority of
students whom we should think
about. In my courses our students
continue to do a competent job
and the top ten percent may even
be better than their predecessors —
although we won't know the answer
to thut for 10 or 20 years."

When we asked about his most
satisfactory experience, "K.G." re-
lit his pipe and pondered for a
few moments. "I can't pinpoint
any one thing," he said. "Cer-
tainly working with the many stu-
dents who took the aero option
during the 30 years we offered it
here in the M.E. Dept. was re-
warding. But I think of something
more than that program . . . it's
rather simple, yet difficult to con-
vey in words — but what I believe
has been my most satisfactory ex-
perience has been my association
with the college during this period.
The students, my colleagues on the
faculty, the courses I taught: these
are all part of it — but what I refer
to is something more.

"You know, at the conclusion of
World War II every faculty member
who had left the college to enter
the service returned to Tech. That's
quite remarkable. I remember ask-
ing Harry Feldman of the Chemis-
try Dept. about it — he said, 'I
guess it's a way of life here at Tech.'

"The college has always had
integrity and high standards. And
the college has always backed its
faculty. Without any pretentious-
ness, W.P.I, has quietly fostered

I HI Jul UN VI.

what has been a policy of academic
freedom at its best. There are
not many colleges which, when
looking back on the last 45 years,
can make that statement."

While we talked with K.G. (whom
we, along with many of you, had
enjoyed in class), it occurred to
us that with his retirement another
of the tenuous links with the past

was being severed. The daily
quizzes in his courses, the note-
book that each of us kept, the
periodic conferences with him in
his office, the feeling of respect
and willingness to work a little
harder than we normally would; all
of these thoughts crossed our mind.
And we also thought of all the
many, many students whom he has

helped educate. They are, in a
way, an extension of this man in
the world today. And, although
we didn't say it to him (for we
know him well enough to know
he would prefer it otherwise) we
thought that in manner singular
to him, he is perhaps influencing
our society far more than either
of us realized.

Robert D. Behn, '63, Edits New Book

Robert D. Behn, '63, is a versa-
tile alumnus of many talents. After
receiving his degree in physics from
the college in 1963, he went on
to study at Harvard University,
where he received his masters in
engineering in 1965 and his Ph.D.
in decision and control in 1968.
Since that time he has been re-
search director and a member of
the National Governing Board of
the Ripon Society. It is in this
latter capacity that we write of
him today, for he has just edited
a book entitled The Lessons of
Victory, published by Dial. Quot-
ing from the book review which
appeared in the New York Times
on April 26 : " The Lessons of Victory,
an investigation in depth by Repub-
licans of the campaign of 1968,
makes that campaign more exciting
than it is in memory, and than it
was, I suspect, in fact. . . For the
analysis of the race, from the stir-
rings of the contenders . . . the
speeches made (and not made),
the strategy and tactics all make
for fascinating reading, not merely
as history, but as a chapter in the
American art of politics. If you
followed the campaign at all last
year, you will find the Ripon So-
ciety's recapitulation an interest-
laden document, much like a trave-
logue of a city you have visited

The Journal

and recall vividly. . . The Ripon
Society was founded in 1962 in
Cambridge, Mass., by a group of
Republicans to provide 'the GOP
with political ideas that contribute
to the American dialogue.'

"The Lessons of Victory, written,
incidentally, by various hands, deals
very little with victory. It's not
a cry of 'Look, how we beat them,'
but a wry comment on 'Look, how
we almost blew it.' The authors
are troubled by the fact that the
enormous advantages that the Re-
publicans had at the start did not
yield comparable results at the end.
It wasn't that Americans didn't

want change, they say, as that they
began to feel that Nixon couldn't
give it to them. . . These subordi-
nate themes as well as the major
ones are explored with shrewd
judgment and an insider's knowl-
edge of the facts in this penetrating
study."

Bob continues his interest in
W.P.I. He has served this past
year as program chairman for the
Boston Alumni Chapter and is also
currently treasurer of the Cluverius
Society, the Alumni Interfraternity
Council of the college. He and his
wife, Judith, are living in Cam-
bridge, Mass.

Holbrook, '44, Aids Research

A grant of $25,000 to establish
a research program at the college
has been donated by Harrison E.
Holbrook, Jr., '44, his brother,
Kenneth W., and his sisters, Miss
Gertrude L. and Mrs. Phyllis V.
Ervin. The grant honors their
late father, Harrison E. Holbrook,
Sr., founder of H. E. Holbrook
Drop Forge Co., Worcester.

The announcement was made by
the Forging Industry Educational
and Research Foundation, whose
prospective educational and re-
search work the grant will support.

The foundation will handle the dis-
bursement of the funds to Worces-
ter Tech.

Harrison E. Holbrook, Jr., '44 is a
native of Worcester. He majored in
mechanical engineering at the col-
lege.

Since graduation he has worked
at his father's firm, becoming presi-
dent and treasurer in 1958. The
company became a division of
Providence Steel and Iron Co., Inc.,
in 1968. At that time, Holbrook
became semi-retired and took up
residence in Marco Island, Fla.

Alumni Fund Sets New

Record

By the time alumni will read
this story, the 1968-69 Annual
Alumni Fund will be history. As
we go to press, the totals are $119,-
824.61 from 2,976 contributors. In
addition, some $14,212.82 in cor-
porate matching gifts can be added
to the amount raised.

When compared to the previous
fund in 1967-68, the past year's
effort will represent a gain in both
dollars and donors. Last year's
total was $125,850.24 with some
2,713 alumni contributing.

"This support comes at a time
when unrest and campus disturb-
ances are sweeping the country.
Thus it is doubly important in
that it illustrates the depth of

loyalty of W.P.I, alumni," said
Irving James Donahue, Jr., '44,
Chairman of the Fund Board.

"We cannot rest on our laurels,"
he continued. "The needs of the
college are very great. Scholarship
aid continues to be a problem. It
is in this area that alumni have
traditionally aided the college. In
next year's fund we hope to be able
to increase our support."

The latest totals indicate that
the Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter con-
tinues in the lead. More than 57%
of the alumni living within the
chapter have contributed to the
fund. The chairman of the pro-
gram is Donald M. McNamara, '55.

Following Pittsburgh is the Rhode

Island Chapter, with 48% partici-
pating, and the Cleveland Chapter,
with 43%. The respective area
chairmen are Otto A. Wahlrab, '54,
and David A. Pratt, '56.

Class totals were not available at
press time and will be covered in
the next issue.

Chairman Donahue noted one dis-
turbing aspect; namely, the drop in
percentage of alumni contributing
to the fund. "We know that in
1963-64, the last fund before the;
Centennial Fund, some 46% of
alumni participated. In the first
program after the Centennial Fund,
last year's program, 30% con-
tributed. This past year the figure
will be over 30%. Obviously, some-
thing has occurred in those inter-
vening years, 1964—67, that has
caused this percentage drop. Frank-
ly, we are not sure what is the
cause. We would welcome any
thoughts that you may have. Ad-
dress your comments to me in
care of the Alumni Association at

ENGINEERING INGENUITY . . . .

key to industrial progress

A saving in time is a saving of money in today's fast-
moving world. All these parts were ground in one minute
whereas previous cycle time required 9 seconds per piece.
This saving produces 200 extra pieces per hour, or 4,800
extra pieces per day.

The new Heald Model SCF90, designed through engi-
neering ingenuity, features table reciprocation of up to 400
cycles per minute. This means faster over-all stock removal,
better surface finish, cooler operation. And more frequent
in-process bore measurement gives better sizing accuracy
than ever before.

But that's not all. The new 3-plane loader mechanism
performs the complete loading sequence in only one half
of one second!

The key to industrial progress is engineering ingenuity
and it pays to come to Heald — where metalworking needs
meet new ideas.

Reunion Roundup

1904

The shadows lengthen!

Only two of the old guard of the Class
of 1904, Roberts and Rankin, got together
for their annual reunion on Friday, June
6th.

Webber, who was with us last year,
wrote that physical infirmities prevented
him from leaving Florida to come north
this year. As the ranks grow thinner, two
members, Darling and Howland, have
died since our last meeting. No word was
received from any other classmates.

After a trip around the campus to see
the new developments there, the two old
timers settled down at the Worcester
Country Club to quietly reminisce on past
glories and present pains.

With the ladies, Myrtle Roberts and
Ethel Rankin, there were four to enjoy
the good food at the club and to share the
joys of fellowship which have grown
stronger over the years.

The Class of 1908 did not attempt to
stage a formal Class Reunion this year,
having attained their goal of the 60th
Reunion last year. However, Reunion
Luncheon on the Hill was attended by
Mrs. Robert H. Goddard, Mrs. H. Clayton
Kendall, Herbert Carleton, Leon Hitch-
cock, and Donald Simonds.

We made our headquarters and en-
joyed our Class Reunion Dinner at the
Worcester Holiday Inn, which we found
very satisfactory. Friday afternoon we
scattered to visit old scenes and friends.
Gone, alas, from Front Street is Poli's,
where the unregenerate (no '09'ers) used
to drop peanuts on the bald heads below.
Fortunately, we were given maps showing
the new buildings, or we would hardly
have known where we were.

Friday evening we met for dinner with
many a "Do you remember" and "What
about Joe." At table were Mr. and Mrs.
George Barratt; Mr. and Mrs. Lester
Carter; Mrs. Dorothy Gates, daughter of
Arthur Greenwood (Arthur was a cousin
of Mrs. Carter); Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred
Jones; Mr. and Mrs. El win Kidder;
Joseph Schofield; Ralph Whitmore; and
his grandson, Thomas Brazeau.

After a short business meeting and
general "gab fest" we all enjoyed dinners
from the regular menu which were tradi-
tionally good. Following dinner and more

Frank Aguirre in Florida and Frank
Hawkes in California both had plane
tickets to the show, but both landed in
bed with sudden illnesses. There were
many expressions of regret for them and
that slow recuperation from a recent opera-
tion kept Frank Roys at home and that a
relapse had taken Jerry Howe to a nursing
home again.

Saturday morning the mechanics in our
group made the pilgrimage to ChafBns
and were again astonished at the great
changes there. We were back on the Hill
in time for the ritual of class pictures
before the Alumni Luncheon. We were
joined there by Mrs. Claire Dugdale, who
had driven up from New York to join her
father, Ralph Whitmore.

The Class of 1911 held its annual re-
union (the 58th) on Friday evening, June
6, at the Sterling Inn, Sterling, Mass.

Five classmates attended with the wives
of four and, as a special guest, Mrs. "Pat"
Hanaver.

The party was composed of the follow-
ing: Mr. and Mrs. "Dave" Carpenter,
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Reid, Mr. and Mrs.
"Bill" (Clarence) Taft, Mr. LeRoy
Holden, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Chace.

Letters from some members who could
not attend were passed around and our

travel home in a heavy thundershower.

There were ten of us at the dinner at
the Marlboro Country Club, one less than
last year, as follows: Joseph and Helen
Granger, Eugene and Gertrude Powers,
Henry and Madeline Rickett, Leon and
Margaret Treadwell, Edward Tucker, and
Harrison Brown. These are the ones who
meet almost every year. On Saturday
we were joined by James and Henrietta
Shea, making 12 at the luncheon.

The Herbert Foster Taylor Student
Aid Fund has already been reported to
class members: The principal, now
$16,522.94, cannot be touched but there
is $3,475.78 available for use when needed.

Eight more have died during the year,
the latest being Wilfred Peel on May 23.
This makes a loss of 20 in two years and
leaves the present membership 37. An-
swers to our questionnaire gave us contact
with 25 members; over two-thirds.

Eric Benedict is very active in civic
affairs, carpentry, plumbing, entertaining
grandchildren, and Florida in the winter.
He was invited to be a deacon of his
church but in humility he declined. He
sent a bulletin of the church in Harwich-
port for May 25 in which it was noted that
the chancel flowers were in memory of

Wallace Montague given by Mrs. Mon-
tague. Howard King is in Scarborough,
Maine, for the summer. He has had
trouble with his eyes so that he has
difficulty in seeing clearly three feet away.
He can't read newspaper headlines. His
son and family now live with him and his
daughter-in-law does his reading for him.
He does all his writing on the typewriter
in hopes of hitting the right keys. But
we may yet see him at a reunion. Holman
Waring is one of our busy bees having
given six lectures to universities and pro-
fessional engineers on water pollution in
eight states in the Ohio River Valley.
You may wonder what an engineering-
consultant to Camp Fire Girls can be. A
proposed dam was in danger of causing a
large girls' camp to be condemned. Hol-
man consulted with the Washington
engineers and succeeded in getting the
dam location changed and the camp
saved. He offers the advice: Associate
with youth but don't try to keep up with
them. Nibs Taylor has written two lively
letters telling how he overcame a spell of
depression after a hospital siege and re-
gained his usual poise to operate a fleet of
home electrical machines. I had never
heard of an electric hoe but he has it. His
advice is to keep well and reasonably
happy. Don't worry about the new gener-
ation; they will come through just as we
did. Johnny Beck is a real Floridiau ami
keeps busy with his trees, plants, and
flowers. His activities include the local
Sigma Xi. Tech may be the only tie left
with the north but it is a strong one.

Carl Norton has I n one from whom we

have heard little so it was a pleasure to
get his letter. He is still active with golf.

bridge, etc. and spends time with children
and grandchildren. Harland Stuart has
written before of the many activities in
which he is engaged. We cautiously sug-
gest that, now that Ike Eisenhower is
gone some of the leadership of the highly
historic town of Gettysburg has fallen on
Harland. (This may be truer than we
realize.) Vaughn Griffin is another
Floridian who keeps occupied. But he
mentions recent trips to New England,
Canada, the Southwest, and Mexico. He
advises that keeping busy with projects
will make the most of sunset years.
Clinton Smith is still connected with the
local Transit company. After cataract
operations, he is unable to drive but is

happy he is able to read again. In January,
1968, Ralph Norton fractured a hip. After
recovery he enjoyed a few weeks in
Florida but in August he fell again and
fractured the other hip. He was able to
return home for Christmas but is still in
a wheel chair. Our President, Joe Granger,
still attends his office or travels for high-
way and hospital connections. Jim Shea
seems to be on the board of half the col-
leges in New England (perhaps I exagger-
ate). Frank McGowan and Leon Tread-
well are still active in business. Frank
Plaisted, Roger Towne, and Guy Whitney
had little to report beyond the record of
children and grandchildren which all mem-
bers listed. The letter from George
Clifford came after the reunion. He is
not very successful in his hobby of avoid-
ing doctors and hospitals. Finally,
Secretary-Treasurer Harrison Brown is like
a one-armed paper hanger with desk work
for the same double office in three other
organizations.

If I may be able to sum up the general
attitude: There are drawbacks which
make life less comfortable than before, if
no more than glasses, false teeth, hearing
aids, and shiny domes, but we are able to
surmount them and really enjoy our
golden years.

At our 50th in 1962, 1912 adopted a
policy of inviting widows of our members
to all our reunions. They also receive
copies of all letters sent out to the class
which they do appreciate as indicated by
a few answers received each year. This
year the following responded: Mrs. Lester
Greene (Sylvia), Mrs. Archibald Hossack
(Doris), Mrs. Harold Nickerson (Marl
jorie), and Mrs. Joseph Roberts (Anna).
Mrs. William Turner (Jessie) wrote in

1912

Tiik Journal

February giving the details of Bill's sudden
death. Mrs. Harris Rice (Geneva) ex-
pressed her appreciation of the gift by the
1912 class of the book entitled "Theory of
sets" to the W.P.I. Mathematics Depart-
nent in memory of Harris Rice, former
lead of that department.

1914

What a marvelous and enjoyable time
xe did have, the Class of 1914, at our
ii5th Reunion in West Brookfield held on
Friday and Saturday, June 6th and 7th,
if this year, 1969.

To Mike Dufault and Ernie Hedstrom,
md their wives, we extend our sincere
hanks for the hard work they did to make
iur party a success. Both of them arrived
iar]y in the morning to greet the class at
he Copper Lantern Motor Lodge, a
ovely, clean, modern and comfortable
establishment just a short distance from
he Salem Cross Inn, where we later
lathered to enjoy a substantial lunch in a
irivate dining room at 12:45 p.m.

Following a leisurely meal, we ad-
ourned back to the motel for an afternoon
■f relaxation, visits with friends, and card
ilaying by the bridge experts of the
^lass. Since it was a lovely sunny day,
aany of us sat in groups in the comfortable
■utdoor chairs on the green lawn out back,
nd just talked, asking and answering
[uestions about ourselves, and speculating
bout the world of today.

At six o'clock we again returned to the
ialem Cross Inn where, in a spacious
irivate room, an interesting cocktail hour
?as thoroughly enjoyed. Following this
riendly hour of talk, the Inn once again
>ut on a delicious meal, a roast beef
inner, well and properly served. Our
pecial guests for the evening, Lesley Small
rom Spencer, and her brother, Jimmy, a
?ech man himself, as her escort, were
Teatly enjoyed by our group.

Lesley, age 18, is one of the first coeds
t Tech. For her Freshman year, she
veraged a 4.0, which means all "A's" in
er studies. Those of us who remembered
ack to our own Freshman year, when so
aany worked so hard to obtain only
assing marks in some of our courses, took

real look of respect at this beautiful, but
lodest young lady. Asked after the
inner, why she had decided on Tech, she
rose and briefly gave some interesting
sasons for her choice. Incidentally,

rother Jimmy is also a 4.0 man and he,
oo, was regarded with real esteem by
he members of our group.

President Dufault then presented Lesley
dth a sealed envelope, which he informed

er contained some green pieces of paper

rom the Class of 1914. She could use

1914

them, he told her, in any way that a
young college student thought appropri-
ate. On a motion of a member of the
Class, she was unanimously voted the
"Honorary Sweetheart" of the Class of 1914.

At the short business meeting following
our guests' departure, President Dufault
discussed and explained some of the details
of the Class fund which our Class had
given to the College at our 50th Reunion
in 1964. He explained that an additional
one hundred dollars had apparently been
contributed by someone in the interim
period.

At the conclusion of the business meet-
ing, Mary and Earl Hughes showed inter-
esting and lovely moving pictures taken
on their recent trip this year around the
world. In her story, Mary took us to see
the wild animals of Africa, parts of India,
such as Bombay, the lovely Taj Mahal,
the city of Hong Kong, and to many other
exotic places of the globe that we read
about but never see. A round of ap-
plause, as a thank you to Mary and Earl
ended our 55th Reunion Dinner.

Saturday morning the ladies of the West
Brookfield Congregational Church put on
an excellent and tasty breakfast in their
lovely white church opposite the village
green. Following breakfast most of us
went back to Tech to stroll around the
grounds, meet and talk to friends from
other classes, and to attend the meeting
of the Fifty Year Associates. After the
usual picture taking, our Class was well
represented at the Alumni Dinner in
Morgan Hall.

Not all of us were present at all meetings
and all places at the same time, but there

were 24 people who sat at our Reunion
Dinner Friday night at the Salem Cross
Inn, plus our two guests. All told there
were 25 members, including wives who
came to the Reunion.

The following members and wives of
our class attended our Reunion: Ray and
Lou Crouch, Jack and Rhea Desmond,
Mike and Chris Dufault, Paul Glover, Al
and Anna Hedlund, Ernie and Bertha
Hedstrom, Bud and Dorothy Hennessy,
Earl and Mary Hughes, Salt and Anne
Knowlton, Kirt and Eleanor Marsh,
George and Alice Smith, Clayt and Marion
Wilcox, Chet Inman, and Horace Cole.

Fifty-five years out of Tech is a long,
long time! We are no longer young, but at
least all of us felt that way at our party.
I am sure that not one of us had any
regrets in coming.

We made it, but who back in 1914 ever
thought we would? For that matter what
one of us ever even considered such an
absurd figure? Fifty-five years? Who
would even want to be alive after fifty-five
years? But we are alive! And we still do
enjoy life and boy did we enjoy our Re-
union, every single one of us!

We are indeed grateful for our ability
to attend. We are also grateful to our
college which gave us the education to
permit us to lead useful, happy, profitable,
and worthwhile lives in the communities
in which we chose to live and work.

Since the year of our graduation in 1914,
many of our classmates have died, a few
have never returned, and some have re-
turned only a few times. Those of us who
regularly come back think about you who
do not. We hold you all in kindly esteem

and we wish we could see you. We send
you, everyone who is living, our friendly
and fraternal best wishes.

Eli/wood N. "Bud" Hennessy,
Secretary
1919

The Class of 1919 held its 50th reunion
dinner at the Worcester Country Club
through the hospitality of John Coghlin
on Friday evening, June 6th. Forty-four
people, including 24 classmates with their
wives, enjoyed a steak dinner preceded by
a cocktail hour.

We observed a moment of silence in
memory of deceased members.

A few letters were read from classmates,
including one from Hobart Whitney of
Pensacola, Florida. He said he was un-
able to make the trip because he had
broken his back a year and a half ago.
Today he gets around quite well. Burton
Marsh decided not to come because of
pressing work activity in Washington. A
letter from Mrs. Judah Humphrey told us
that Judah, our Class President, was phys-
ically unable to attend reunions and re-
quested that we elect a permanent Presi-
dent this year. We then unanimously
elected Dr. George R. Rich as President.

Each classmate was called on to intro-
duce his wife and tell briefly of his last
occupational engagement and his present
retirement status.

I introduced George R. Rich who talked
on "Embarrassing Moments in the Life of
an Engineer." His extensive activity of a
lifetime on some of the largest hydro-
electric projects in the world made a most
interesting period of entertainment.

Since it was getting late, our further
plans of showing project pictures was

given up and we went our several ways in
the pouring rain.

The Wachusett Motor Lodge was the
living headquarters for all who had come
from a distance so we started from there
for a tour of the campus on Friday morn-
ing. The trip included a visit to the
Harrington Auditorium and athletic build-
ing which was amply described by the
campus guard. Next was a visit to the
new George C. Gordon Library where we
were conducted by a lovely young lady
through the various department rooms.
We completed our tour with a trip to the
Alden Research Laboratories at Chaffins
Village in Holden. A graduate student
guide, a native of Colombia, S.A., ex-
plained the various projects, each in its
own building as well as several setups out-
side for nuclear river heating problems for
Vernon, Vt., and the Northfield pumped
storage project. Most of our group had
not seen the new Laboratory, a surpris-
ingly ample, modern structure of concrete
and brick which includes a large lecture
room, ample office space, study rooms,
and a large research building.

Luncheon at the Franklin Manor was
attended by about 28 graduates and their
wives and President Harry P. Storke.
After lunch he talked to us of some of the
problems and happy solutions which have
marked his seven years as President of the
Institute.

During the afternoon a group went to
Westboro to the home of Howard Foster to
see his very beautiful formal gardens, his
pool, and naturalized wooded area with
its lovely walk and unusual trees. Some
played golf and others went back to the
campus for an extended look.

1919

The class has not had a reunion since
our 40th in 1959.

I expect the graduate coming from the
greatest distance was Robert Peterson and
his wife who came from Pineland, Florida.

Saturday morning the class was wel-
comed into the "Fifty-year Associates" at
their meeting in Daniels Hall.

Group pictures were taken of the class
of 1919 with their wives. Each person
wore a replica of a World War I helmet
which was adopted as a symbol of identi-
fication for the class. They were made of
plastic. The mold was made by Mayo's
youngest son, Nathan. After casting, the
helmets were painted and finished by the
Mayos. Our class had been broken up
because many were drafted into World
War I. A few were able to return to
graduate with their class of 1919 but
others had to wait to be graduated in 1920.

Luncheon for the honored classes was
held in Morgan Hall.

Our class was awarded the Attendance
Cup for having the highest percentage
(computer calculated) of members present.
The cup was accepted by President Rich
and will be kept at the Institute.

Robert Sessions, class gift chairman, an-
nounced that the Class of 1919 is making
a gift of over $70,000 to be equally divided,
one-half for the purchase of books for the
Gordon Library and the other half for the
establishment of a Harry P. Storke
Scholarship Fund. More than one-half of
this amount was given by a classmate,
Leland Durkee, who recently passed away.
We have been told that this was the
largest amount ever given by a class.
This is ample evidence of the extensive
effort of Sessions and Coghlin in soliciting
the members for this class gift.

The classmates attending the luncheon
were each presented a beautifully mounted
50th year diploma by President Storke.

The class disbanded after the luncheon.
Many stayed for other graduation activi-
ties and others returned to their homes.

1924
The Class of 1924 returned to the Pub-
lick House iii Sturbridge for tin- Forty-
fiftli reunion on the evening of June 6th.
After a social hour anil dinner, Helge
Johnson very casually conducted a busi-
ness meeting with the enthusiastic cc*
operation of Norman Alberti, and the
members of tin- class present. Two second
string treasurers. Hooper and Storms, weN

merit. The less serious part of the evening
program was handled by Norman Alberti.
All of the wives present gave brief family
histories mainly concerned with children
and grandchildren. Then the men were
allowed to recount their activities outside
the home. It turned out that while many
were officially retired they were all keeping
very busy and happy withal.

The class members attended by their
wives were Norman Alberti, Solon Bart-
lett, Edward Burke, Thomas Counihan,
Warren Fish, Leslie Hooper, Harry Hurd,
Helge Johnson, Frank Linsley, Clarence
McElroy, Arthur Miller, Paul Ronca,
Albert Storms, John Styffe, and Donald
Wilson. Carrol Tucker and Ray Wilcox
were unattended.

Preparations have been started and we
are all looking forward to our fiftieth.

1929

Thirty-six members and wives of the
1929 class conducted their 40th reunion
at the Publick House, Sturbridge, on June
7.

Prof. Kenneth J. Merriam and Mrs.
Merriam, who had been guests at 1929's
10th reunion, were repeat guests of honor.
Prof. Merriam, who goes on emeritus
status this year, called the roll of many of
the faculty familiar to '29'ers in their stu-
dent days. He recounted some of the
early history of the first class to take the
aero option (1929 of course) at Tech, in
keeping with the aerospace theme of the
reunion.

We only wish more of that famous first
class could have been with us to enjoy
Prof. Merriam's recollections and to cele-
brate the occasion. He brought a marvel-

1924

ous collection of aero option memorabilia
to the reunion and some of the pictures
were a revelation to the reunion's high
flyers.

The committee in charge was: Stephen
Donahue, chairman: Francis Kennedy,
Milton Labonte, Carl Carlson, Andrew
O'Connell, Diran Deranian, and Francis
Wiesman. They came up in their usual
style with a fine banquet and a heart-
warming evening for the young in heart
'29'ers. The favors were a gold Tech tie
bar for the gents and a gold Tech medallion
for the ladies.

Other class members present were
Frederick Baldwin, Wayne Berry, Nathan-
iel Clapp, William Crosby, Boris Dephoure,

Lester Frank, Holbrook Horton, Bernard
Joseph, Harold Richmond, Richard Stone,
and Russell Wiley. Arthur Knight pre-
sided. Labonte was elected chairman of
the next one.

Boris Dephoure traveled the greatest
distance to the reunion, from Florida, and
Mrs. Arthur Knight took home to Water-
ford, Vt., the trophy for grandmother the
most times.

The class of 1929 was runner-up for the
attendance trophy at the alumni luncheon,
figured on a percentage basis of class en-
rollment (1919, celebrating its 50th, was
the winner).

The '29 class set the style for identifica-
tion at the activities on the Hill, a six-inch
lapel button, with a big you-know-what
numeral in the middle. No more hats and
canes for this bunch.

1934

Pleasant Valley Country Club was the
scene of the 35th reunion for the Class of
1934. This spot was a beautiful setting
including both the course and the club-
house. None of the class took advantage
of an opportunity to play on the famous
course.

However, everyone showed great en-
thusiasm at the pre-prandial libation and
later with fabulous roast beef and lobster.
We had no formal program but lots and
lots of delightful talk about old times
and present activities. Tory and Tony
Cowal showed some wonderful color
movies of our previous reunions. We had
a total of 40 including class members,
wives, and guests.

Members attending were: Luther
Leavitt, Ev Sellew, Warren Davenport,

1934

John Birch, Ed Rothemich, Tony Cowal,
Charlie McEIroy, Warren Snow, Howard
Whittum, Bert Anderson, Paul Sullivan,
Bert Hammarstrom, Bill Burpee, Gus
Larson, Joe Flanagan, Harold Bell,
Charley Frary, Charley Dayton, Howard
Stockwell, Warren Burns, Don Vibber.

Mr. and Mrs. John Birch had as their
guest Miss Dale Mclnnis of Lagonillas,
Venezuela, a student at Cushing Academy,
Ashburnham, Massachusetts.

1939

The 30 members of the Class of 1939,
including wives, who met for the 30th
reunion at the Pleasant Valley Country
Club, agreed unanimously that no one
there had changed a bit. It is assumed
that any change must be in the ones that
could not make it! An informal cocktail
hour and dinner was held after several
members enjoyed the famous and beauti-
ful Pleasant Valley golf course. Dr. and
Mrs. Schwieger were guests, and Al
brought us up to date with a short talk
on changes in college thinking, as well as
growth in numbers and physical plant.

Jake and Mrs. Hagopian won the prize
for coming the farthest (California), al-
though the winner had to be decided by
lottery, since three others came from
there, too. Bud and Mrs. Jacques won
the prize for the newest grandchild, and
Bob and Mrs. Martin flew off (to West
Palm Beach) with the door prize.

On Saturday, after the official school
festivities, about 20 members again met.
this time for a cocktail hour and buffet at
Brad Ordway's home in Sturbridge.

The committee heard from mam who

could not come, but we hope that the
next time around there will be less conflict
with weddings and graduations, and more
will be able to join in the fun.

1944

The reunion of the Class of 1944 was
just great.

A small group of loyal members who
obviously had plenty of leisure time on
their hands worked in a pleasant after-
noon of golf on Friday at Wachusett
Country Club. The planning committee
thought that a few people might come in
to Worcester early; so Kim and Betty
Woodbury offered to open their home for
the few who might want to drop in. About

50 showed up, which turned out to be an
enjoyable warm-up for the big day on
Saturday, especially for the Woodburys.

Saturday dawned clear and bright, and
the members of the class showed up not
so clear and bright for the class picture
about 11 o'clock. Lenny Israel had made
arrangements for the fancy straw hats
that you see in the picture. As you can
also see, none of the members of the class
have changed a bit in the last 25 years.
So there was a good deal of friendly
chatter before we adjourned to Morgan
Hall for the Alumni Luncheon. Our
class dominated the hall, at which a few
other classes were modestly represented.
Naturally, the Class of '44 was honored
as one of the reunion classes, but un-
fortunately Jim Donahue was called on
to make his remarks following the 50-year
class. Their remarks were brief — limited
simply to their announcement that they
were pledging $70,000 to the school. At
that point Jim was ready to crawl out of
the room rather than announce our class
gift. Jim made some pleasant remarks,
and announced our class pledge of $4,000
based somehow on the $1,700 or so that
had been turned in up to that point. Jim
sure will appreciate any further help you
can give him to keep him honest, and out of
hock. Then to add to our indignity, the
50-year class took the prize for the highest
percentage in attendance.

In the afternoon we toured the mag-
nificent new Harrington Field House and
the impressive new Gordon Library which
will be filled with books contributed from
the Class of '44 gift.

But then came the best — the banquet
at Franklin Manor. It was a hilarious

1939

Tin: Jot i(N vi.

1944

evening starring Jim Donahue supported

by Erl Lagerholm as his straight man.

There were informal anecdotes related by

a number of members, including Al Larkin,

Bill Raymond, Hal Blake, and Doctor

(People Doctor) Al Harder and his People

Doctor wife. Then there were the lively

debates about the outstanding members

of the class as follows:

Came the farthest: Nick Economou from

Salt Lake City

Came the shortest: Chris Terpo (1 mile)

and Kim Woodbury (J"2 mile)

Most kids: Bud Mellor (11)

Most Grandchildren: Bud Holbrook (5)

Newest father: John Bjork (5 months)

Longest sideburns: Nick Economou (4

inches long and 2 inches wide)

Least Hair: Jim Dashner

And so it went, long into the pleasant
evening.

On Saturday, the Class of 1944 25th
reunion yearbooks, a collection of the
questionnaires returned to the committee,
were distributed, and they make fascinat-
ing reading. If you would like one, they
can be purchased, as long as they last, from
the Alumni Office for $5.00. I highly
recommend it, and it will help bail out
Jim on the class pledge.

Like I said, the reunion of the Class of
'44 was just great.

ALUMNI COUNCIL (Co

near future the Alumni Association
should be made directly responsible
to the development office of the
college. He stated that it was his
belief that this was in the best
interests of all concerned.

The Council voted to reduce next
year's appropriation of scholarships
to the college to a minimum of
$10,000 and a maximum of $21,000,
providing funds are available. It
had been the policy to appropriate
the equivalent of ten full scholar-

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
FROM

NORTON

A TAPE THAT MUFFLES SOUND.

Norton started a quiet revolu-
tion with Bear* vinyl foam tape

Vinyl means it literally locks out
dust, moisture — even air pollution. V
Foam construction means it cushions
sound.

The fact that it comes in self-sticking
strips means it's an ideal sealant for
wall partitions, windows and doors.
The perfect way to keep on friendly
terms with the wind, the rain and the
neighbors.

Norton makes a vast variety of tapes
for industrial and household uses.
Other Norton contributions to mod-
ern living include filters to make
water drinkable; "gentle" plastic-
bonded tumbling media to mass-
finish delicate dining utensils; the

lightest/warmest blanket in the world
—evolved from material used in the
NASA Apollo program. Norton Com-
pany world-wide: where you can

expect the unexpected.

Apollo demands the strength of forging.

So do better bulldozers and
turbojets and submarines and...

The forging know-how in 150 Wyman-Gordon forged
parts for Saturn V also provides product improvement
for tractors, jumbo jets, turbine engines, nuclear power.

From a 1 4-foot aluminum hold-down post to a 2" titanium
fuel line fitting, the Saturn V forgings provide the best com-
bination of strength and lightweight . . . and the skills of
Wyman-Gordon ensure superior properties and reliability.

This is what any manufacturer needs in high-stress com-
ponents — Wyman-Gordon's total capability in forging . . .
the result of aggressive concern with improved technol-
ogy. Wyman-Gordon Company, Worcester, Massachusetts.
Offices in Chicago, Detroit, Dayton, Los Angeles, Fort
Worth, Seattle, Bombay and Geneva.

This aluminum forging for
Saturn V measures 38" x 165",
weighs 1,930 pounds. There are

Dr. George W. Hazzard Inaugurated
As Eleventh President Of W.P.I.

Dr. George William Hazzard was inaugurated as the
eleventh President of Worcester Polytechnic Institute on
Friday, October 17. The well-planned and stately ceremony
was attended by approximately 250 delegates from sister
institutions of higher learning and by a large delegation of
trustees, administrators, faculty, alumni, and friends. Dr.
Hazzard's inauguration was the first to be held in Harring-
ton Auditorium and was preceded by a luncheon in Morgan
Hall for 850 people.

The Reverend Raymond J. Swords, S.J., President of
the College of the Holy Cross, gave the Invocation and
Benediction, and the Honorable Francis W. Sargent, Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts, extended the greetings of the
Commonwealth. Professor George E. Pake of Washington
University in St. Louis, Mo., and a long-time friend of Dr.
Hazzard's, introduced the President, after which Dr.
William E. Hanson, '32, Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
gave the charge to the President and presented him with the
school seal. Music was provided by the Worcester Inter-
collegiate Symphonic Band and a combined chorus from
the Worcester area.

Following the ceremonies, a reception was held on the
quadrangle.

President Hazzard's Inaugural Address follows:

Ladies and gentlemen, delegates from colleague insti-
tutions and societies, members of the Worcester and
Worcester Tech community, Governor Sargent, and friends,
friends new and old. Thank you for coming. Thank you for
honoring Worcester Polytechnic Institute in its 104th year.

The presence here of so many friends o. mine and of
the college makes this a heartwarming moment for me, a
moment I shall long remember.

The responsibilities I accept from students, faculty,
alumni, and trustees make this a challenging moment. It is a
moment for facing and interpreting the task I have been
asked to undertake.

The very personal nature of this small institution makes
this a moment for direct personal expression of my present

views on engineering education. It is the moment for saying
that I believe engineering education is better called tech-
nologically-based education and explaining why.

It is a moment for talking about a professional school
and for reiterating the values implicit in the use of the word
professional.

Finally, it is a moment for humility. A scientist knows
that he can only see further because he stands on the
shoulders of those who labored before him.

Today man is where he is only because so many
previous generations of men thought, and said, and did
things that inspired others to improve on what went before.
All men have related such efforts to some view of the world
— how the world is or how it ought to be.

What I propose to discuss is my view of how the world
is or how our society is and how engineering education,
technologically-based education, professional education,
can serve that society. In so doing, I am asserting a
philosophy of higher education as applied to Worcester
Polytechnic Institute and suggesting some implications of
that philosophy for the Worcester Tech community.

Society today is technologically-based. No one can
deny the evidence of instant communication after the
Apollo 11 moon walk. Or of almost instant transportation
after lunching in London and dining in New York. Or of an
incredibly interdependent technical distribution system
when eating fruit from Texas or Israel while stuck in a
Manhattan elevator in a power blackout. In a sense, the
medium of modern technology is the message.

Such being the case I believe technologically-based
education provides a major hope for the creation of an
informed citizenry able to act on and be aware of the
problems of this modern society. But a very special kind of
technical education is required - an education that will
produce technological humanists.

For what technological humanism means I am indebted
to Sir Eric Ashby and his illustrious countryman, Alfred
North Whitehead.

THE JOURNAL

As Ashby says:

"The habit of apprehending a technology in its com-
pleteness: this is the essence of technological humanism,
and this is what we should expect education in higher
technology to achieve."

And Whitehead explains this further. He says:

"There is something between the gross specialized
values of the mere practical man, and the thin specialized
values of the mere scholar. Both types have missed
something; and if you add together the two sets of values,
you do not obtain the missing elements. When you
understand all about the sun and all about the atmosphere
and all about the rotation of the earth, you may still miss
the radiance of the sunset. There is no substitute for the
direct perception of the concrete achievement of a thing in
its actuality.... A factory, with its machinery, its com-
munity of operatives, its social service to the general
population, its dependence upon organizing and designing
genius, its potentialities as a source of wealth to the holders
of its stock is an organism exhibiting a variety of vivid
values. What we want to train is the habit of apprehending
such an organism in its completeness."

In other words, the person with a technologically-based
education must do more than the scientist- The scientist has
to preoccupy himself with abstractions from reality for that
is the power of science. The engineer has to respond to the
assertion that he is a professional. For any professional

school, be it medicine, or law, or engineering, produces
graduates dedicated to service to society. Its graduate must
be concerned with the whole reality, including real people.

Since Worcester Polytechnic Institute is one of less than
two dozen private technical universities in this most
technically-oriented of countries, it behooves us to respond
vigorously and creatively to such a challenge.

To educate technological humanists is to respond to
several aspects of modern society — to science and its
evolutionary building of a more complete explanation of
nature on earlier, less general paradigms; to the young and
their intuitive, but expressed, wish for greater individual
self-realization; to the problems of the real world where the
very successes of science and technology in solving old
problems have created a whole set of new ones; and to the
developing knowledge from the social sciences on how
people learn.

Once upon a time, I was a scientist. So let me start with
science. As every scientist knows, science is a stimulating
and frustrating mix of the radical and the conservative.
Each new idea has the potential for completely changing
the existing state of affairs (though rarely now does a
scientist get tried by the Inquisition as did Galileo for his
ideas coming from mechanics and optics). But simulta-
neously each idea must stand the test of practicality. Can it
explain information that was known before while simulta-
neously predicting and explaining the knowledge implied

by that idea?

Thus a person with scientific training is automatically a
radical and a conservative in his own field once he is
creative enough to have new ideas. Every radical new idea
has to stand the conservative test of fitting the facts or
being operationally sound. Scientific training enables one to
learn how to live with change yet relate it to the past.

Simultaneously the scientist must develop a set of
values. He must be truthful; for others check his facts. He
must share his knowledge with others; for they have shared
with him. He must give credit to others for the ideas on
which he builds; as they must credit him. If this all sounds
like the Golden Rule, it isn't very surprising. Science really
burgeoned when Puritan man decided that investigating and
elucidating Nature's secrets was the best way to glorify
God.

The study of science and its methods must be part of
the education of a technological humanist.

Now how about the problems of the real world
stemming from our on-rushing technological advances?
Here I must join Lee DuBridge, Science Advisor of
President Nixon, in saying that "Success has led only to
rising expectations and to mounting accusations of failure.
Or so it seems."

Actually a greater fraction of the world's population is
better housed, better fed, and has better health than ever
before in history. Yet all of us want everyone to participate
in these advantages. And all of us want better solutions to
housing, transportation, pollution, war, and above all, the
threat of the bomb.

Technology holds the key to possible solutions if it can
be combined with the developing knowledge of the social
sciences and the mutual respect and understanding between
individuals and groups that comes from shared values. And
here I repeat, technology can provide the means. Each of us
must provide the social and ethical understanding. No
longer can engineering education be undertaken as an
escape from the reality of people. Not many of us can
fulfill Walter Lippman's wish, "I'd like to have been born a
great mathematician or something like that where I would
have dealt with problems that didn't require dealing with
the everlasting persnickitiness of human nature."

The study, understanding, and use of the social sciences
and the humanities must be part of the education of the
technological humanist.

Neither the great ordering principles of physical science
nor the growing understanding of groups or individuals by
social science provide evidence to modern youth that each
person can remain a person and not become a thing, a
number, a pawn on an overpopulated world chessboard.
The great gatherings at Newport, Bethel, or Lewisville speak
to that need to be someone; to be real to someone else; to
share emotions like love and kindness. Or in other words,
our higher educational system must respond to this need;
must show that scientists and engineers are individual and

... AN EDUCATION

THAT WILL PRODUCE

TECHNOLOGICAL HUMANISTS

human; that they work in a value system of individual
contribution for the good of all.

What this means is that each student needs to be helped
to find his own way to the conclusion of his college
education. Each individual student will be a wool thread
held by the wrap of faculty guidance, all together forming
the brilliant woven patterns of the university. Being
different from all others but part of a total pattern seems a
necessity for all of us.

Personalized and individualized teaching and learning
must be part of the education of the technological
humanist. All of the above needs might never be met by a
technical institution like W.P.I, were it not for technology
and science itself. Here I refer to the considerable progress
now being made in that difficult and complicated area
called "the learning process." Much of the activity is
directed toward young children for purposes of simplifi-
cation; toward simple cognitive or tactile situations. Yet
progress in understanding is considerable.

Conscious experimentation with the learning process
must be part of the education of the technological
humanist. Only thus can he learn and learn how to continue
to learn in this world of accelerated change.

These four main trends form the challenge to any
technological university. How do we combine broad general
principles, real social problems, individual learning, and
optimal teaching-learning methods into a coherent, recog-
nizable, unique whole? This challenge is one I believe W.P.I,
is ready to accept. One to which it will rise in the first
decade of its second century.

Let me now turn to some possible methods for reaching
these goals at W.P.I., methods which may combine here
into a distinctive kind of technologically-based education.
What I say here has already been said in part to the W.P.I,
community but not to all that community at the same time
and place. Presumptuous this may be after three months on
the job, but non-squeaky wheels get little grease.

Many of these educational objectives are best reached
by operating a small institution, a college where students
and faculty and administration can know each other as
people rather than symbols, as individuals rather than as
"they". With an undergraduate population of less than
2,000 we are a small college by today's standards. It is
imperative that we remain small and that our student body
and faculty continue and extend the friendliness and

participation already here. I must confess that I don't have
a really good definition of smallness. But I can say that a
college remains small until it starts breaking apart into units
without common loyalties or until faculty members start
saying there are so many students that they can't know a
large fraction of them so they won't try to know any.

At the same time, one has to deal with the knowledge
explosion and the consequent growth of specialization.
Smallness may deprive a student of many opportunities
that exist in a large institution. We must in many ways be
large. Luckily the situation in Worcester permits us to be
both small and large simultaneously. After all there are over
13,000 students enrolled in Worcester institutions of higher
education today, institutions different in character, educa-
tion objectives, specialties, and student background. With
this size, produced by ten institutions, all essentially within
15 minutes of each other, we have a tremendous oppor-
tunity to provide the qualities of the large institution.

With the formal incorporation of Worcester Consortium
for Higher Education and the employment of a full time
executive director, we are well on our way in this respect. I
look forward with pleasure to the results of our mutual
enthusiasm for this consortium. It is especially rewarding to
continue this effort pioneered by my predecessor, President
Storke.

We shall remain small within the matrix of a large
institution. But large or small, we can still miss the close
student-faculty interaction that is one of our major goals if
faculty commitment and internal organizational mecha-
nisms are not there. Here is where we have already made
real progress. Our Planning Committee has been working
for almost a year on meeting the goals I have outlined.
Involving faculty, students, and administration, the com-
mittee has produced what I consider to be creative answers.
These answers were discussed intensively and constructively
by over 400 members of the Worcester Tech community on
Planning Day II just two weeks ago.

Let me outline the major points to show one way to be
creative In American higher education. First is individual
student program planning through four years with the same
faculty advisor to develop and carry out each student's
course of study. Second is the emphasis on individual study
through seminar, library, or on the job activities. Large
lectures there will be but the lecturer will focus on an
integration of facts and ideas into a creative whole.

Third is the use of project activity for over a quarter of
the student's academic work. Projects of two kinds are
envisaged: those typical of a disciplinary orientation within
the college laboratory or classroom and those oriented to
the societal activities of engineers in the outside world.
Here in groups of 3 to 5, students with a faculty leader can
do relevant, constructive, and challenging activities.
Students and faculty will have to learn together. Addition-
ally we hope to involve many alumni in these projects — a
life-long laboratory school so to speak. You might say that

here we are combining the pragmatism of John Dewey with
the idealism of Mark Hopkins. Finally, testing and examina-
tion will come from outside, providing each student and his
teachers with a critical evaluation of his college achieve-
ment, of his preparedness to contribute to the society that
will support him.

All these ideas, good in themselves, would be useless
without a commitment from faculty and students. The
faculty member must provide the model of a concerned,
learning, dedicated contributor. The student must accept
great responsibility for his own progress in return for his
freedom to learn. I say to my faculty and student
colleagues: This is a challenge I dare you to accept.

Most difficult of all, I expect, is adopting new learning
and teaching techniques and then measuring our success in
their use. Even if we succeed in introducing new learning
methods or "improve" on the old, how are we to know
whether we do better or worse in creating a graduate fitted
for his chosen role in society? How do we know if just
change in itself is not the most effective learning stimulus?

Measuring the effectiveness of education is an elusive
thing at best. Here, then, is a challenge to the expert
measurers and to the foundations or to our federal agencies.
Who can measure our success or failure and who will
support them in the process?

In this present time of social stress, the universities are
under pressure from students for relevance, from the
government for problem solving, from parents for being too
expensive and contentious. You may have wondered why I
have not said more about such matters. Implicitly I have,
but let me be explicit.

The business of W.P.I, is to be an educational institu-
tion. It is not a consulting firm, a baby-sitter, or a research
institute. It cannot be a political instrument, an arm of
industry or government. It must look at each part or
problem of society and selectively utilize it for the
education of the men and women who choose to come
here. Only thus can a private, independent, technologi-
cally-oriented university college justify its existence. Only
thus will it continue properly to deserve the support of
parents, alumni, business, foundations, government, trus-
tees, and friends.

I have shared with you some hopes and dreams for
Worcester Tech and its people. How well we shall succeed I
cannot tell. But I doubt we shall fail if I can do as Robert
Frost said:

"When I was young my teachers were the old.

I gave up fire for form till I was cold.

I suffered like a metal being cast.

I went to school to age to learn the past.

"Now I am old my teachers are the young.

What can't be moulded must be cracked and sprung.

I strain at lessons fit to start a suture.

I go to school to youth to learn the future."

HOMECOMING

1969

LARGEST AND BEST EVER

A windy autumn day set the scene for the 1969
Homecoming celebration. The Sweetwater concert and
fireworks which were held Friday night had been a good
omen for the next day's activities.

Registration began early, and by the time the soccer
game had started at 11:00 A.M. the baseball field had
begun to fill with cars. The soccer team lost its contest to
Clark 2-0. Over 400 alumni and families registered for the
combined tailgate picnic and barbecue. Trunks were raised
and tailgates opened with groups gathering to renew old
friendships. The tailgate prize for the best spread of food,
awarded for the first time this year, was shared by Carl W.
Backstrom, '30, and Iving James Donahue, Jr., '44.

The football game with Wesleyan was the highlight of
the afternoon. Coach Mel Massucco and his squad gave the
crowd of over 4,500 many exciting moments in their losing
cause to Wesleyan 21-13. The Engineers generally
out-played and out-hit the visiting undefeated Cardinals,
but were hampered by miscues. At half-time, Warren B.
Zepp, '42, Alumni Secretary-Treasurer, awarded the Home-
coming Display Trophy to Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity,
with Sigma Phi Epsilon receiving honorable mention. The
freshmen won the annual Freshman-Soph Rope Pull follow-
ing the game.

The Reunion of the classes of '59-'63 was held
following the football game in the form of a social hour in
the Janet Earle Room of Alden Memorial Auditorium, and
there was a large turnout for this inaugural event.

Homecoming continued as various groups gathered to
return to their fraternity houses or to have dinner at local
restaurants. For those who desired, there was a concert
Saturday night featuring Richie Havens and a Sunday
concert featuring the New York Jazz Sextet.

PART

The Future of
Two Towers

A MODEL

The faculty Planning Committee has published its third
report containing a model for the future of Worcester Tech.
The committee consists of Professors John P. van Alstyne,
John M. Boyd, William R. Grogan, '46, Charles R. Heventhal,
Romeo L. Moruzzi, and C. William Shipman. Stating "It
should be the goal of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute to
teach its science- and engineering-oriented students to learn
for themselves and to develop in them an understanding of
the interplay between technological advance and human
need," the report proposed a radically new unstructured
curriculum which would emphasize projects and independ-
ent study and the relationship of technology to society.
Under the new model, the present academic departments
would be abolished and replaced by "Study Groups," which
would be based on common areas of study.

The Committee proposed the following goal for Worces-
ter Tech:

"It is the goal of Worcester Polytechnic Institute to
bring into the second century of its existence a new, dy-
namic version of its great Two Tower tradition. In its first
century, W.P.I, pioneered the integration of science and
shop; in its second century, W.P.I, will pioneer in scientific
service to society.

"The W.P.I, graduate of the future must have an under-
standing of a sector of science and technology and a mature
understanding of himself and the needs of the people
around him. While an undergraduate he must demonstrate
that he can learn and can translate his learning into worth-
while action. He must learn to teach himself those things
that are needed to make his actions socially significant. A
W.P.I, education should develop a strong degree of self-
confidence, an eagerness to contribute to the community
beyond oneself, and an intellectual restlessness, a spur to
continued learning."

THE JOURNAL

To accomplish this goal, the report outlined an educa-
tional program featuring no required courses. In the words
of the report, "Because a primary objective of the college
should be to teach the student to learn, and because this
process is highly individualistic, it seems advisable to have
as little formal curricular structure as possible. The lack of
structure has the virtue of providing at once the flexibility
needed and the requirement that the student develop the
self-reliance characteristic of a truly educated person."

To accomplish this, projects and independent study pro-
grams will play a major role and the student is expected to
put a minimum of 25% of his total academic work into
this part of the program. Two types of projects will exist:

a) Research and development projects of the type com-
mon to most technical college research programs.

b) Humanistic-technological projects. In the words of
the report, "Examples of these projects might be: the ef-
fect of a new north-south toll road on the people of central
Massachusetts; the economic, technical, and social implica-
tions of a law restricting pollution of the Blackstone River;
... It is this type of involvement which is designed to bring
the student to a familiarity with technology as a service to
society, leading him to a sense of professionalism in the
sense of assuming responsibility for some area of society's
needs, and showing him the relevance of his studies of hu-
man behavior."

It is also suggested that "a fair fraction of the projects be
centered off-campus."

The projects would come in four different sizes: Type
A: Individual Work; Type B: Individual Team Projects:
three-man units; Type C: Comprehensive Project Activi-
ties: two sub-units of three to four students each, combin-
ing upperclassmen with underclassmen and/or technical and
humanistic efforts; Type D: Systems Project Divisions:
Groups of fifteen from a variety of levels and study inter-
ests.

Upperclassmen and graduate students would be in posi-
tions of leadership.

Courses would be offered to "bring coherence to what
has been learned in the projects . . . and to lead the student
from the curricular disciplines of the American secondary
schools to the unstructured system proposed."

Three main types of courses would be offered:
a) Courses designed to supply preliminary information and a
transition to W.P.I. 's unstructured system; b) Short courses
of the "how-to-do-it" type to aid in acquiring specific tech-
niques as they are needed; c) Summary courses. These
would be of the lecture-supervision type. A lecturer would
present the material to a hundred or so students and a
supervisor, meeting with four students at a time, would an-
swer questions and go over solutions to specific problems.

No prerequisites would be required for a course.

Professor Shipman, a member of the Faculty Planning
Committee, commented that one critical point in the aca-

demic program would be the transition of the Freshmen
from a structured high school background to an unstruc-
tured college. He said that the kinds of freshman courses
would have to be a lot different from the present courses,
and would have to be designed to lead a student to learn on
his own, and that a freshman would be involved in project
work. He suggested that such courses as "The Philosophy
of Science" and "The History of Science" might be
appropriate.

In regard to the student body in general, he stated his
belief that a "much larger percentage of the present stu-
dents could handle the suggested program than the faculty
believes." He also felt that we could attract students from a
much wider area than we do presently.

Although only the degree of Bachelor of Science would
be given, students will be able to "major" in a Study Group
or Division Area. This quote from the report may help ex-
plain the Committee's concept of study groups:

"Because of the problem orientation of the program and
the increasing overlap of the various traditional disci-
plines, it seems wise at this point to abandon the depart-
mental structure of the faculty and to regroup into com-
mon areas of study - Study Groups. It is not to be inferred
that there need be any permanence to a Study Group, for
in the course of time it will be necessary to dissolve some
and establish others. The Dean of Academic Resources
must bear the ultimate responsibility for seeing that the
Study Groups remain relevant. It is important to recognize
that the common denominator in the Study Groups is the
problem orientation rather than the academic background
of the members. The Study Groups are collected into three
divisions."

The following degree requirements were suggested:

1. "Acceptable advanced-level work on two projects or
independent study programs, a) It is strongly urged that at
least one be of the humanistic-technological type, b) It is
strongly urged that at least one of the qualifying projects be
centered off-campus.

"Advanced level work must produce a tangible result
(usually in the form of a written report) which shall be
judged not only for technical content but also for manner
of presentation both by the project supervisor and external
examiners . . . Grades will be assigned for all project work
as follows: A-Acceptable; AWD-Acceptable with Distinc-
tion; NA-Not Acceptable.

2. "A minimum residence of two years is suggested be-
cause of the importance of the environment to be estab-
lished."

3. "Examinations: a) A comprehensive examination in a
division or study group area. This examination may include
oral as well as written parts, should be of the "open
library" type, and must be the work of the student
alone . . . the examination should confront the student with
the unfamiliar, b) Two "sufficiency" examinations in areas

THE JOURNAL

other than that of the comprehensive, at least one of which
should be in a different division from that of the compre-
hensive.

"Grades for these examinations will be A or AWD (an
unsuccessful attempt is not recorded) and the examina-
tions may be taken at any time after matriculation with the
approval of the student's advisor."

ADVISOR EXPLANATION

A different part of the report explains the advisor. "The
entering student is assigned to an advisor who sees the stu-
dent through the program ... it is essential that the student
records be computerized so that the advisors can have at
hand all information for counseling the student. Obviously,
the project supervisor may have the best and closest con-
tact with the student and can give considerable assistance to
the advisor. The exact relationship of the student to his ad-
visor will depend in large measure on the student living
group structure."

Provision is made in the model for the expulsion of a
student "who consistently fails to do acceptable work."

The school year would be divided into four eight-week
terms for "flexibility in course offerings, project-logistics,
and scheduling." The student would carry "four units of
work" each term (for example, three courses and one proj-
ect [not including how-to-do courses], four courses, etc.).
Courses would extend from one to four terms.

The above academic program was reached after seven
months of deliberations by the President's Planning Group
during the last school year. During that time they studied
Tech's present status, developed a set of possible objectives,
and published a set of two reports, "The Future of Two
Towers," Parts 1 and 2. Then, during the summer, the fac-

ulty - elected Planning Committee created the program
above.

One of the reasons why they chose to try to educate a
"humane technologist" was, in the words of the Report,
"a growing feeling throughout the nation that many science
and engineering educators have become so concerned with a
narrow form of professionalism that they fail to react ade-
quately to disturbing signs . . . For a decade we have seen a
loss of interest in engineering on the part of high school stu-
dents; the disenchantment of students enrolled in engineer-
ing programs is notorious; and we have heard much about
the importance of relating science and engineering to the
needs of the people." Another was in the form of a conclu-
sion: "the major contribution of the independent college is
to leaven the national educational scene with diversification
and a source of innovative energy which lies beyond the
capability of the public institutions."

The failure of the present structure was also cited as a
reason.

"Attempts to broaden the student by offering, and even
requiring courses in the humanities have largely failed . . .
because of the failure to show the students the relevance of
their work in humanities to their professional careers. The
student finds his learning activities more or less "locked
in" to a course program and satisfaction of his curiosity
hampered by a formidable set of prerequisites. A further
factor is . . . isolation of the faculty from the students as
people who have a view of life, who practice what they
preach, and who themselves are continuously learning . . .
students find campus life devoid of interest. Intellectual
interchange is the exception rather than the rule." As one
result of this, "the Committee had decided to relegate to an
inferior position the argument that 'our students have limit-

ed capability.' This argument appears to be false and has so
pervaded the thinking of both students and faculty that it
has strongly affected the quality of W.P.I.'s present pro-
gram."

The Committee then outlined what they felt were essen-
tial considerations in determining W.P.I.'s goal:

1. "It is hopeless to attempt to provide the student with
enough information and technique to see him through a
lifetime of professional work. It is far better to develop the
student's learning capability so that he can learn what is
necessary to solve the problem at hand — to meet the un-
familiar situation competently.

2. ". . . society is being well supplied with technologists
who, given time and money, can eventually solve nearly
any technological problem from development of an anti-
polio vaccine to placing a man on the moon safely. How-
ever, decisions as to what technology shall be developed
and what problems attacked are made by the lawyer, the
sociologist, and the politician who are, for the most part,
unaware of the nature of technology itself.

3. "The strongest motivating factor in student learning
is the student's own interest . . .

4. "The essence of the college experience is the environ-
ment — the nature of the community. There is no stronger
motivation for intellectual development than the inspiration
of one's associates. Delight in learning is infectious . . . there
is not now a single college - level program which has ade-
quately come to grips with the challenge of developing and
encouraging the necessary human understanding in its
science and engineering students."

Professor Shipman outlined four criteria that he felt a
program would have to fulfill, and that he felt the model
did fulfill: 1) Students would be involved and responsible;
2) There would be a community of spirit; 3) It would have
to be innovative enough to justify a private existence;

4) It would have to be flexible.

The report declared that, under this model, the follow-
ing objectives of the original twelve listed in the first and
second reports could be executed:

1. High Quality Pre-Graduate Education in Engineering
and Science

2. Education for Leadership and Decision-Making in a
Technological Society

3. Classical Education in Engineering and Science in the
Oxford - Cambridge Manner

5. Middle College

7. Educating the Underprivileged

8. Invention and Entrepreneurship

Objective 4 (Research-Oriented Graduate Center) was
excluded because it was not felt to be attainable at this
time and that there would be too much competition from
such schools as M.I.T. The Committee rejected Objective 9
(General University) because they felt student support for
this was mainly due to a desire to facilitate shifting to a dif-
ferent major field. The faculty Planning Committee felt
that combining with Clark as a way of achieving a general
university would not be an answer because there was no
assurance that the simple act of combining would solve
Tech's problems, there was a problem with the distance be-
tween the two schools, and that colleges which had
combined had had problems combining departments.
Objective 6 (Bachelor of Science Degree in Technology)
was excluded because no one seemed to want Tech to
become that type of a school.

According to Professor Shipman, this proposed program
is unique. He did say that there were "precedents for any
part of it," mentioning that one public high school in New
York City had gone to an unstructured curriculum, but
added that no program in any technical school has this
orientation towards the "humane technologist."

A VIEW FROM WITHIN

by
KENNETH NOURSE

"DO YOUR THING '73" ... so reads the pin handed to
each member of the freshman class during registration.
Whether or not they do will in no way remove the class
from its position of being the largest freshman class in the
history of the college. On September 8 we registered 637 of
them. We were looking for 500. We had an overrun. In
September 1968 we were looking for 450 freshmen and
came in with 360. We were shy by 90. In one year, we in-
creased freshman enrollment by a whopping 80%. Why?

The summer of 1968 was particularly long and particu-
larly hot for Admissions. It was agreed that a repeat of the
low frosh enrollment of 1968 would be unacceptable ... a
euphemism for disastrous. An Admissions game plan was
developed in outline form identifying five general areas and
encompassing 27 specific approaches. The plan was re-
viewed with the Trustees at the Worcester Club in October
1968. It was suggested that if the plan worked in its en-
tirety we might have an overrun. Trustee Fran Harvey com-
mented that such a problem would be welcome.

It is difficult to single out particulars because we were
operating with so many variables. However, I can mention
some educated guesses that will probably stand up. Our
financial aid allotment was increased substantially. This was
extremely important because it helped us regain a competi-
tive position. We were able to make it possible for more of
the better students to come. We were slipping badly in this
area. The tuition shows a recent history of increasing on al-
ternate years, but the financial aid allotment remained stat-
ic. Hence, we were regressing. We now have an understand-
ing that financial aid is a critical factor in the admissions ac-
tivity and hope we shall be able to maintain our regained
momentum.

The Early Decision program was given special attention
and the number accepted under this plan more than
doubled from a year ago . . . 139 as opposed to 60. Financial
aid was offered to this group in sizeable amounts for the first
time. Highly qualified candidates with or without need who
indicated that W.P.I was a strong first choice were "in the
fold" as early as December 15.

The number of "risk" students was doubled to 30. This
is a faculty-approved program to admit X number of can-
didates who appear to be statistically unacceptable but
who, through a particular achievement or for one of a
number of subjective reasons, seem desirable. Data on this
group in the Classes of '71 and '72 indicates that 60+% are

working successfully toward a degree. In the Class of '71
(based on four semesters) the C.OP.A's range from 1.46 to
2.99. In the Class of '72 (based on two semesters) the
CQP.A's range from 1.75 to 3.44. This is a most interest-
ing Admissions approach because it tends to prove that we
should not overrate such things as College Board scores and
counselor recommendations. All these students were en-
couraged to participate in a new five-week summer program
(we called it Pre-College Study) of compensatory work in
the verbal and math areas. The remaining members of the
class were invited, but not encouraged, to participate.
Twenty students were ultimately involved. Their experience
will be carefully measured as they progress through the
freshman year. As soon as meaningful data has been as-
sembled, perhaps a report will be presented.

Our new degree programs and increased flexibility in the
freshman curriculum have given us broader appeal. Many
candidates who feel that a science-oriented education is
timely and relevant are unable to pick specific programs of
study so early in their educational careers. Our general to
specific approach is very saleable and very sensible. The
current flexibility available within the general boundaries of
scientific orientation seems to be very appealing. Parents
paying a tuition of 2,400 American dollars per year are
pleased that there is lateral movement available. Guidance
counselors, long used to the vicissitudes of teenage think-
ing, nod their heads in agreement when we explain our flex-
ibility. But, most important, the bright, sensitive, articulate
student seems to be appearing in Boynton Hall for a person-
al interview in greater numbers. If we can land some, and
we shall, the faculty will find it timely to improve our
climate for learning.

There is reason to believe that our required personal in-
terview brought many more prospective students to the
campus than a year ago. It may sound like schmaltz, but
this campus does a pretty fair job of selling itself. In com-
parative terms, the place is immaculate. The maintenance
people do an outstanding job and it is noticed by visitors.
There is definitely a warm and friendly atmosphere
throughout and in spite of our new age of liberalism it is
obviously impressive. To give you some perspective, I
quote statistics relative to campus interview traffic. The
personal interview was not required for the Class of 1972.
Between May 1967 and May 1968 we conducted 994 camp-
us interviews. We then required a personal interview for the
Class of 1973. From May 1968 to May 1969 we conducted
1,378 campus interviews ... a 45% increase. We believe the
interview serves three positive purposes:

1. it brings the candidate to the campus

2. it gives us a chance to explain our position in detail

3. it serves as a quasi-declaration of intent on the part of
the candidate.

I do not mean to infer that all was peaches and cream,
but I more than infer that differences were resolved with-

THE JOURNAL

out violence or without any interruption of the educational
process. It is my observation that whoever is paying the
tuition of 2,400 American dollars per year is pleased about
that, too.

I am certain that there are other factors, but I cite these
as major. As we set our sights on the Class of 1974 which
will number about 550, we have already introduced a new
variable in the form of a re-organized Alumni-Admissions
Counselor program. It is intended to affect the quality and
not the quantity of the Class of 1974. On paper, Bill Elliott
and Don Berth have constructed a well-oiled piece of mach-
inery. A year from now perhaps we shall be given the op-
portunity to report on its progress or lack of it.

Looking to the future we hope to continue working
closely with the Faculty Committee on Disadvantaged Stu-
dents chaired by Prof. Bourgault and the Ad Hoc Commit-
tee on Admissions chaired by Prof, van Alstyne. Both com-
mittees are proving to be very desirable reaction groups to
ideas conceived in the Admissions Office.

PART II:

ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT

DONALD F. BERTH/59

W.P.I, alumni may often feel that the only support they
can give their alma mater is through their checkbooks. But
another, equally significant kind of support may be provi-
ded by participation in one of the most critical activities of
the Institute — the recruitment of quality students. To this
end an alumni secondary school organization has been es-
tablished. Its regional chairmen will hopefully serve as
spark plugs; they will be responsible for organizing and sus-
taining an effective working committee of alumni. In the
following paragraphs I shall try to outline the need for and
the nature of alumni support in this most vital effort.

W.P.I, is essentially a specialist college, emphasizing un-
dergraduate programs in the physical sciences, mathema-
tics, and the major fields of engineering. In the past fifteen
years there has been little or no increase in national student
populations enrolled in these subject areas. Consequently,
since college populations have more than doubled in this
period, the proportion of students in these areas has been
halved. At the same time, the number of undergraduate
colleges offering work in the subject areas which Tech of-
fers has increased by 25 percent.

These facts spell a number of consequences. First, it is
harder to find a high school student who is interested in sci-
ence or engineering than it was fifteen years ago. Second, it
is harder to sell him on a private college in view of much
improved state university programs in these areas. Third, he

is likely to cost more in financial aid than he did fifteen
years ago.

W.P.I, has an outstanding admissions staff and a quality
education. But, as many Tech men who have spent years in
informal secondary school recruitment efforts can attest, it
is still the localized, personal interest that an alumnus can
give to a particular student that counts in the long run —
catalogs, campus visits, and admissions officers interviews
notwithstanding.

For the past seven years some of my professional atten-
tion has been directed to student recruitment for Cornell's
College of Engineering. And one lesson is clear. The best
schools owe much to the devotion and skill of alumni who
seek and then sell the best prospects on the virtues of their
alma mater and its programs. While the size of the alumni
body, its geographical diversity, and a widespread public
knowledge of a college all help its recruitment efforts, time
and again I have witnessed the loss of valuable recruits be-
cause alumni were not "working" their areas as hard as oth-
er colleges were. On other occasions I have seen colleges
win applicants because of efforts by enthusiastic, know-
ledgeable, honest, and skillful alumni.

The competition among alumni groups in the field is
keen. And because of the increased organizational sophisti-
cation of many of these groups, it is essential that W.P. I.'s
alumni get busy to gain for Tech its share of the best talent.

The alumnus whose participation as a committeeman is
desired is the one who wants to lend a hand but is not sure
of the best way to do it. Many have recognized the impor-
tance of student recruitment and, with little guidance or
support, have already become involved in sponsoring din-
ners for area guidance counselors and helping in the inter-
viewing of Tech applicants.

We need more men who are enthusiastic about W.P.I,
and W.P.I, today. Not the college that they graduated from
in 1934, 1948, or 1957, but W.P.I, today. This does not
mean that recent graduates will be best as committee mem-
bers, but that homework will be required. The alumni sec-
ondary school organizational framework will provide re-
gional workshops for alumni at least once a year.

We need men who are genuinely interested in young
people (both men and women) and who would like to be of
service to those who might profit from their college ex-
periences. And we need men who can seek out prospective
Tech students, not perfunctorily, but imaginatively, in such
a way that admissions representatives will find audiences
acquainted with W.P.I, when they visit secondary schools.

Alumni in the field can be instrumental in multiplying
efforts in student recruitment by several orders of magni-
tude. The general regard for W.P.I, alumni by secondary
school personnel is of obvious value. By becoming well ac-
quainted with the teaching and counseling staffs - particu-
larly with the math and science teachers and college coun-
selors - of a particular school, an alumnus can make his

THE JOURNAL

name and presence synonymous with W.P.I. He can seek
out superior secondary school prospects and encourage
them to consider W.P.I, if their educational interests can be
served through one of the Institute's programs. In addition,
he can assist the W.P.I. Office of Admissions in the inter-
viewing process by exploring and assessing the non-intellec-
tual qualities of a candidate. He can sell W.P.I, to accepted
candidates by personal follow-up and get-acquainted pro-
grams where numbers warrant.

Alumni have an important stake in the well being of
their alma mater. If we do not see to it that more and more
of the very best young minds and young leaders go to
W.P.I., who will? And who will insure the value of our own
degrees?

I hope that when you may be contacted by your area's
regional chairman, you will be ready to say yes to his call
for help.

ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN OF ACTION
Alumni Secondary School Organization

The first priority of the Alumni Secondary School Or-
ganization is to develop a quality organization that is pre-
pared to do some work. Casual and ill-planned efforts yield
complementary results. At the outset, the organization's ef-
forts will be in areas where W.P.I, is known and where
alumni live in some concentration. In some instances these
regions will approximate chapter boundaries; in others they
will transcend these boundaries. In no organizational way
are the efforts of the secondary school organization tied to
those of the chapters.

Executive Secretary: William Elliott, '66, Assistant
Director of Admissions

The executive secretary is the contact man at W.P.I, for
planning, staffing, and coordinating all "field efforts." He
will:

1. plan the annual workshops for regional chairmen and
plan and schedule workshops for regional committee-
men to coincide with admissions staff visits.

2. have necessary materials (brochures, posters, flyers,
etc.) prepared as required to maximize recruitment
effectiveness.

3. in essence, represent W.P.I, in all planning and co-
ordination of alumni efforts and provide the on-
campus continuity required to sustain this volunteer,
part-time effort.

Regional Chairmen:

Their responsibilities include:

1. seeking W.P.I, alumni as committeemen.

2. planning regional workshops (assisted by W.P.I, ad-
missions personnel).

3. planning at least one luncheon or dinner meeting for
guidance and/or teaching staffs in specific areas of
their region annually.

4. scheduling at least one major student recruitment
meeting in each area of their region each year (co-
ordinating and complementing ongoing programs of
the chapters, the Society of Families, and the admis-
sions office).

Concerned alumni will provide the "grass roots" contact
for W.P.I, which will determine whether this secondary
school student recruitment effort is a success or failure.
The committeemen in each region (the number will vary
depending on alumni concentration and secondary schools
to be serviced) should become thoroughly familiar with the
secondary schools in their area. About the one or two for
which they will be responsible, they should know the
teachers, counselors, and the outstanding juniors each year.
The presence of each of these committeemen in a second-
ary school should be synonymous with the presence of
W.P.I.

Won't you beat your regional chairman to the punch by
writing to him (care of Bill Elliott, Admissions Office,
W.P.I.) and telling him you can be counted on for sup-
port?

ANNUAL ALUMNI FUND REPORT - 1968-69

The following is a summary of the 1968-69 Annual Alumni Fund. Although the percentage of alumni participating was low —
only 34% of our alumni contributed — a new record for individual gifts was set with a total of $1 19,822 being contributed. In
addition $14,547 was contributed by companies with matching gift programs, $132,124 was contributed to the college as
unrestricted gifts, and $245,753 was contributed as alumni bequests. Thus the total of all alumni giving to Worcester Tech for
the period 1 968-69 was $51 2,246.

UNDERGRADUATE VIEWPOINT

GLENN WHITE/71, Feature Editor,

The Tech News

An engineering college has often
struck me as having a split personality.
It teaches science and engineering,
which are basically innovative and con-
stantly seeking a better way to do
something or produce a better prod-
uct. But the engineering college itself
seems resistant to change and afraid of
innovation, in the face of growing
signs that engineering education is
simply not working. The old saying
"Those who can, do; those who can't,
teach," comes into mind, and one re-
flects that perhaps that could be the
trouble. The engineering college may
be run and taught by engineers who
can't innovate (and therefore are fail-
ures as engineers), who can't look at a
new idea objectively and judge it on its
merits without dismissing it because it
is different.

I don't really believe the above,
but, with the publishing of "The Fu-
ture of Two Towers — Part III: A
Model," Tech is now in a position
where the above hypothesis will be
tested and where we find out if this
college community can look objective-
ly at a vastly different educational sys-
tem and analyze it; not on the basis of
what has been, but on the basis of
what could be. The model suggested
by the Faculty Planning Committee
deserves neither our blind rejection
nor blind acceptance, but rather care-
ful deliberation by the entire Tech
community on whether it is the best
plan and, if so, how best to implement
it.

The plan appealed to me, although
I have some reservations to parts of it
(for example, how could a person
majoring in theoretical mathematics do
advanced - level project work of the

humanistic-technological type?). Over-
all, though, the plan impresses me,
mainly because it confronts so many
of the problems in society today.

The Planning Committee's model
would deal with the present feeling in
so many engineering students that
their courses aren't relevant to their
future as engineers. Under the pro-
posed system, the student selects his
own courses and at the same time does
project work. The project work would
give him an idea of what he needs to
know in his particular field and he
takes what to him are relevant courses,
that he now knows he needs.

The "humane technologist" is be-
coming more and more necessary ev-
ery day. Since the 19th century, the
technologist had flourished in this
country and has produced an affluent
society unimaginable a hundred years
ago. Unfortunately, the affluent soci-
ety is not satisfying many people. The
growth of technology has produced a
society where one feels like an IBM
card, where pollution and violence is
making the Great Society the Ugly
Society, and where starvation exists
not far from low-cholesterol diets. The
age of Science is ending, the age when
one could trust blindly in Science for
the salvation of the human race. A
new age is dawning, in which men re-
alize that science and technology is
only a tool, that technology is neither
good nor bad in itself, that only man
is, and that man will have to direct
technology (and not simply let it grow
like Topsy) to produce not only afflu-
ence and more affluence for the major-
ity, but a superior way-of-life (not
necessarily wealthier) for all.

To do this, mankind will have to re-

late science and the humanities. Un-
fortunately, liberal arts students and
graduates seem to be in a revolt
against science, in which they want
nothing to do with technology. The
science and engineering student must
then be the one to cross over and be-
come familiar with the relationship be-
tween science and society. And what
better way to make them familiar with
that relationship than to confront
them with actual situations involving
this, as the report so well pointed out.

The abolishment of the academic
departments may well lead to a funda-
mental change in scientists and engi-
neers. No longer would a person be a
physicist or a chemical engineer. Rath-
er, he would be a scientist or engineer
studying optics or an engineer study-
ing chemical processes. The old lines
of academic disciplines, which divided
scientists and engineers into almost
arbitrary classifications and narrow
fields of interests and which are already
being increasingly crossed, would be
abolished.

A sense of boldness impresses me as
I think of what the model could result
in. We will be venturing, if we accept
the model, into an educational system
that is unique, into, actually, the un-
known. There is danger involved, of
course. Perhaps we cannot attract the
money to maintain the program. Per-
haps the graduates of American high
schools will not be able to adjust to
the proposed unstructured curriculum.
But what is the alternative? Can we
continue as we are now, safe for the
moment in our structured framework,
which no one likes?

I remember one evening this sum-
mer watching men walk on the moon,
men there because a man had the bold-
ness to say, "I believe this nation
should permit itself to achieve the
goal, before the decade is out, of land-
ing a man on the moon and returning
him safely to earth," because scientists
and engineers and a nation (actually
two) had the boldness to venture into
the unknown. It is time that we applied
the same boldness to technical educa-
tion and to the problems of society.

MEMORY

Leo S. Jansson,
Trainer and Equipment Man

To many alumni, Leo Jansson was just
another name on the football program at
Homecoming, but to the Tech athletes and
students who have graduated since 1959, his
name means much more. It is these people
who know how deeply Leo felt about
Worcester Tech and, above all, "his" athletes.

Bob Pritchard, head of the Athletic
Dept., described him best when he said,
"Leo was a unique individual; he never
thought first of himself but always, and I
mean always, of the other person. He spent
untold and unheralded hours in helping a
boy get back into shape. He went far beyond
the call of duty in working with Tech
ath letes.

"He had a unique personality; he was
never harsh or unfair, and always wore a
smile. He was a very effective trainer because
of this, and I'm sure that hundreds of Tech
athletes can recall helpful kind acts that Leo
had performed for them. His loss is im-
measurable."

Leo was born in West Sutton, Mass. and
served for 20 years in the Navy. During his
Navy career, he was stationed at the Worces-
ter Reserve Training Center several times.
During World War II he was with the First
Marine Division and participated in numer-
ous landings, receiving five battle stars. Leo
served as a pharmacist's mate and joined
Tech four days after he completed his Navy
career in 1959. Since then he had been heal-
ing, both physically and mentally, his Tech

1921-1969

athletes.

He was a member of the Quinsigamond
Lodge of Masons and was a 32nd degree
Mason. He was also an honorary member of
the Alumni Association.

He leaves his sister, Mrs. Ruth Hatfield;
two brothers, Henry R. and Arthur J.; and
several nieces and nephews.

The Tech athlete has lost a good friend,
and his friendship will be deeply missed.
Perhaps the largest void will be the absence
of the familiar voice in the training room;
"Hi ya, kid, how's it goin'?"

Albert Leslie Bliss '02

Albert Leslie Bliss, '02, of 30 Crofut St.,
Pittsfield, Mass., died at his home on May

ENGINEERING INGENUITY .

key to industrial progress

Design a machine that grinds the "nonrotatables" . . .
seem impossible? Not when Heald engineering ingenuity
is used. The new Planetary Model 5650 precision grinds
parts that are too big, too heavy, and too awkward to
rotate.

Instead of rotating the workpiece, it rotates the wheel-
head in orbit around the centerline of the surface to be
ground. And the wheel feeds into the work simply by
changing the orbital radius.

The Model 5650 grinds I.D.'s, O.D.'s and faces on work-
pieces of practically any size, shape or weight. This versa-
tile machine can be equipped to grind bores from "\'A" to
14'/j" in diameter, with maximum hole lengths up to 34"
depending on bore diameter. When it comes to engineer-
ing ingenuity it pays to come to Heald, where metalwork-
ing needs meet new ideas.

THE JOURNAL

TWO TOWERS:

SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS

In October, 1969, the Faculty Planning Committee held
Planning Day II. It was an entire day, without classes,
which was devoted to the presentation of a model for WPI's
future and to discussion periods about the model. From the
model and the discussions, nine subcommittees were
established to further explore various topics. These sub-
committees were as follows: Environment, Advising,
Examinations, Graduate Program, Courses, Organization,
Finances and Cost Estimation, Implementation, and Re-
source Development.

These committees were made up of volunteers represent-
ing the student body, faculty, and administration. In some
instances, student subchairmen were appointed to study a
particular area of interest in a committee's work. In every
case, each committee member had an equal voice, and, in
most cases, students made up a majority of the members on
the committee.

As this issue of The Journal goes to press, two of the
subcommittee reports have been completed and released.
These are the Environment and the Advisory subcom-
mittees. Other reports will follow shortly, while others,
such as the Implementation report, must await the ideas
and recommendations of other committees before they can
be completed. Upon the completion of the subcommittee
work, the Planning Committee will prepare a final report
which will comprise their recommendations for the future
course of WPI. This final report will hopefully be complete
sometime during the spring of 1970.

Excerpts from the two completed subcommittee reports
follow, printed as received and unedited by the Planning
Committee.

ENVIRONMENT SUBCOMMITTEE

Attached are our reports on Overall Psyche; Non-
Fraternity Life; Housing and Dining; Fraternities; Campus;
Highland Street, Worcester, and the Consortium.

Students who enter WPI with intelligence and enthu-
siasm will continue to lose what spark of spontaneity they
have unless the environment of the College is radically
changed. In an attempt to look at some of the important
aspects of environment, the following reports have been
prepared by the various subcommittees on Environment
and College Life. (Ed. Note: Each subcommittee was
chaired by two undergraduates.)

Each report was written independently; similarities,
differences, and contradictions in ideas and methods will be
noticed. An inherent fear of rejection by a conservative
faculty and student body has probably stifled our ability to
create sparkling new ideas . . .

The recommendations presented here are by no means
final ones. They are meant to stimulate thinking about our
physical and psychological environments. There are barriers
in the present physical environment here which must be
eliminated, but changes in buildings alone will not solve our
problem. We must still discover the "spiritual" catalyst that
will make the reaction run and bring about the shifts in

attitude of both students and faculty that are so pro-
foundly needed . . .

Overall Psyche Team

The purpose of this committee was to examine the
psychological make-up of the Tech student, and to find
ways to alter the environment to give us the best of all
possible psyche.

Since many of a student's feelings for the College are
formed in his freshman year, it would be wise to look for
ways to make that year more encouraging than it is now.
The freshman environment centers at this time (and for the
immediate future) around the dormitory, and to make
dorm life more livable should be one of our goals.

The freshman living in a dormitory feels more like an
inmate than a resident. The sameness of the rooms with
their pastel-colored walls and everything-boltedtogether
furnishings is nothing less than oppressive. We feel that the
dorm resident should be allowed to paint, partition, poster,
and rearrange his room any way he pleases . . .

The opportunity presents itself to do something positive
by inventing a new breed of dorm counselor, one who is
more of a teacher than a policeman. Chosen by a
committee of faculty and students, he would need a new
set of qualifications: the ability and desire to communicate,

THE JOURNAL

broad knowledge of the assets of the College and the city,
and an interest in people . . . It's a task best left for
graduate students and seniors.

Though we are examining the overall psyche of the WPI
community, the student's individual psyche must also be
considered. The need for a psychological counseling service
was pointed up by the visit of Dr. George Higgins to the
campus. Right now, for a Tech student to begin to go crazy
is simply insane. There is almost no one to help him . . .

The drudgery imposed by much of the curriculum is
partly to blame. Even if the model succeeds in eliminating
that, something positive has to be done to unsquash the
WPI mind. More vehicles for creativity should be provided
both in and out of the classroom . . .

The single most important factor influencing student-
faculty interest and pride in the College is its name.
"Worcester Polytechnic Institute" is not very inspiring as
names go . . . Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The first
word is obvious. It represents the general location of the
College . . . Polytechnic: relating or devoted to instruction
in many technical arts or applied sciences. That definition
certainly describes WPI before 1950 . . . The word
Polytechnic is far too confining and exceptionally mis-
leading to the prospective college student and the general
public. Institute: a system of organized and often highly
formalized belief, practice, or acceptance. That word fitted
WPI like a glove up until about 1966 . . . Under the
proposed planning model the College will be as totally
unstructured as is possible; in other words, it will be the
complete antithesis of the highly formalized practice
required of an institute . . .

According to Dr. George Higgins of Trinity College,
spontaneity is what sparks student interest in campus and
non-campus activities. In order to promote this "sponta-
neity" it might be to the advantage of the College to
establish a special organization, answerable to no one, to
spark controversy. Its function would be to play devil's
advocate, by constantly pushing for change ... It will point
out to the College areas that are starting to stagnate and
which will stall the College's future progress . . .

Further Research Needed
In addition to the proposals previously outlined, other
questions came up which the Overall Psyche Team felt
needed further study . . .

1. A complete study of tradition and its role on campus
should be undertaken . . .

2. Along similar lines, a study of Honor Societies on
campus should be undertaken . . .

3. Does the college proposed under the model want to
produce a stereotyped graduate as WPI does today? . . .

4. Finally, more study will have to be given to the
question of spontaneity on a campus where "logic" is the
watchword and the tried-and-true method is king . . .

Non-Fraternity Life

The Non-Fraternity Life study group began its dis-
cussions on the premise that, under the proposed model,
the student of WPI should be given every available
opportunity to develop himself intellectually, psycholog-
ically, physically, and socially within the environment of
this school. By providing certain physical facilities, it is
hoped that they may be taken advantage of by both
students and faculty . . .

One of the major problems with non-fraternity life,
presently, is that the upperclassmen who are now not
members of fraternities must find housing off campus,
which somewhat separates them from activities of the
school. True, some of these people feel that they would like
to live off campus segregated from the WPI environment,
but many non-fraternity students feel that they do miss
much, socially and academically, by living any distance
from the school. If one has such a feeling, then some of his
growth may be stunted as a result . . .

The subgroup proposes, as its basic solution, a living
situation which is based on both academic and social
awareness. It is hoped that such a situation will create a
greater sense of community among both fraternity and
non-fraternity members. To do this we suggest that the
residential college system (much like that employed in the
European universities) be incorporated within WPI.

Physically, the colleges would consist of a number of
housing units. These housing units would contain approxi-
mately fifty students, and would be structured vertically . . .
as opposed to the present horizontal structure . . . Four or
five of these housing units could be joined to make a larger
dormitory (but in such a way that each section will preserve
its individuality) or grouped together (though each unit will
not be physically joined to another) in a small but
well -landscaped area . . .

Each housing unit would provide several types of rooms
to allow people to live alone, or in groups of two, three, or
four ... A lounge would also be located within each unit.
Dining facilities would include a large dining hall to be
located in one of the units . . .

The colleges should not segregate freshmen from upper-
classmen at social activities. The units themselves should
not be segregated as to sex, race, or class . . .

Many may feel that this system is a very good copy of
the fraternity system. This is somewhat true, except for the
ideas of selectivity and commitment present within the
fraternity system, now. Though many of the physical
objects proposed are found in fraternity houses, they are
not now made available to non-fraternity students . . .

The Non-Fraternity study group proposes that the
model discussed above be implemented in the Stoddard
Residential Center, in order that this idea may be tested as
to its practicality . . .

THE JOURNAL

Housing And Dining Sub-Group Report

In the course of the following report we will present a
housing and dining arrangement whose primary objective is
providing a pleasantly livable and socially rewarding atmos-
phere during a student's stay at WPI ... It is our hope that
the model we propose will not be interpreted as a move to
hold a student on campus, but rather it is designed to allow
him to more naturally become a part of his environment
instead of being driven away by it . . .

The model we propose is a very flexible one and is
centered about the concept of small living units placed near
to the campus . . . Flexibility demands that a student live in
an environment which is best for him, and if that proves to
be living in a fraternity or an apartment, then he should not
be forced into what we might think is best. . . We propose
the construction of faculty apartments, built with a high
level of quality and originality, which would allow those
faculty members and their families to live in the midst of
the campus without any sacrifice in living accommodations
if they so desire. Graduate students, married or single,
should also be provided with modern and attractive
apartments . . .

Up to this point in the model no mention has been
made of foreign students as a special entity. We feel that,
despite special needs that will arise during a foreign
student's stay at WPI, we would be doing him a great
disservice by not completely integrating him with the rest
of the community . . .

The dining function will be served by small dining units
that will be conveniently placed among the living units . . .
These small dining units are small enough not to be large
mess halls, yet large enough to allow for the interaction of
the residents of three different living units.

The relationship of the school to these units shall be a
landlord function only. These units should definitely be
owned and managed by the school as significant tax and
loan advantages will be available due to the school's
non-profit status . . .

Owing to the flexibility of the housing units (and
assuming the condition regarding bathrooms is feasible as
proposed), they would be as coed as is any apartment
building on a room-by-room basis. We feel that this presents
a realistic and true-to-life living arrangement . . .

Despite the fact that the first look at this proposal might
cause one to shudder at the probable cost of this
installation, we do feel that the model can be made
economically feasible and still have moderate cost to the
residents . . .

In summary, we feel that the above model provides for
the important needs of community, privacy, and flexibility
for all of those connected with the College.

Flexibility demands that a

student live in an environment

which is best for him . . .

Fraternities

. . . Succinctly, our subcommittee goals were: (1)
Increased opportunities for personal development; and (2)
Closer student-faculty interaction. With this in mind the
fraternity subgroup would make the following proposals:

(1) Strongly urge and support the project-type, inde-
pendent mode of education. The atmosphere of the
fraternity is particularly conducive to this educational
vehicle and is particularly appropriate to the educating of a
humanistic technologist . . . The overwhelming advantage of
the fraternity system lies in the fact that it ... is an
organization conducive to vertical as well as horizontal
integration.

(2) A stronger, more active IFC. It is apparent that there
is a need for a coordinated, cohesive, united IFC in which
all states are contributing towards and protecting individual
development.

Areas with which the IFC could immediately research
are: (A) Cooperative buying and bargaining, (B) A uniform
accounting system and an auditor hired by the IFC, (C) An
expanded social calendar to include non-fraternity students,
(D) A system by which fraternity procedures and policies
are constantly re-evaluated and upgraded, and (E) The
whole topic of school loyalty and overall psyche at WPI is
an untouched area where the IFC at other colleges have
made great strides . . .

(3) A Dean of Fraternities . . . The College (should)
employ a professional whose task is to give direction and
advice to the fraternity system so as to encourage their
integration with the school . . .

Campus

We have attempted to attack the campus life as it will
need to change to meet the changing goal of the Institute.
We have broken the problem into four parts (appearance,
cultural and social life, sports, campus center) and through
these hope to answer what we feel to be the major issues.

1. PROBLEMS:

(1) Campus Center; (2) Appearance; (3) Cultural Life
and Social Life; (4) Sports.

II ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS.

Campus Center: A large part of the lack of communica-
tions, cultural and social life, and student/faculty interac-

THE JOURNAL

tion is due to not having accommodations suitable. There is
no central meeting point, where activities of all sorts can be
carried on . . . Several locations were discussed, and it was
decided that either on the quadrangle or directly off the
quadrangle (next to the Stoddard Residence Halls) would
be the best locations . . .

Appearance: ... A major factor in attracting students is
through buildings, landscaping, and overall appearance . . .
We can no longer build to just necessity but will have to
catch up to where society is today in its views and ideas.
The present buildings will have to be developed as best
possible to meet these standards . . .

Cultural and Social Life: There now is a major problem
in communications among students, faculty, and adminis-
tration. No one knows what is going on and often assumes
that there is nothing happening that evening or weekend. A
weekly calendar is greatly needed . . . The social life is the
responsibility of the students and administration and will
depend on the students. Here again a Campus Center would
be a major addition.

Sports: As it seems that all mandatory classes will
eventually be dropped, the sports program, other than
varsity sports, is of concern. A possible answer is to give
physical education classes credit as a full course. This would
call for an increase in its desirability to students and in its
capabilities. More facilities and a larger staff to accom-
modate a more varied program will be needed . . .

REPORT OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
ON ADVISING PROCEDURES

I INTRODUCTION.

. . . Our efforts were devoted to attempting to define the
role, function, and responsibilities of the academic advisor,
as contrasted with the other advisors, what the responsi-
bilities of the student would be under the plan with respect
to advice offered, and finally, attempting to define what
kind of relationship we would hope to see emerge between
advisor and advisee and how that relationship might be
fostered and encouraged . . .

II ANALYSIS.

Although there was initially some feeling that the
advisor should be a member of the student's chosen field of
interest, our conclusion is that this is not a necessary
condition to the development of a helpful and profitable
student/advisor relationship . . . We feel that there should
be an effort made to assign, on arrival, a student to a
faculty person with whom he may be expected to have
common interests (not necessarily interests of the technical
or professional variety), and with whom, in the majority of
cases, he would stay associated during the period of his
undergraduate career. The responsibilities of the advisor

are: to assist the student in defining his educational goals;
to aid in the transition from secondary school to the
relatively unstructured situation at WPI; and to aid in the
selection of basic courses. During the upperclass years, the
advisor will help to define alternatives, keep in close
contact with project advisors and coursework progress so
that an accurate appraisal correlating all this information
will be available to the student.

The responsibility of the student is to meet with his
advisor at appropriate intervals, discussing with the advisor
the goals he has formulated and the progress he is making
toward them . . .

An estimate of the time required to perform the
function described above is rather difficult to provide; a
consensus seemed to be that advising, if done ideally, and
under the conditions as specified in the next section, would
require between ten and twenty percent of the faculty
member's time . . . The "Council of Advisors" (to use the
term appearing in the Planning Committee's report) should
serve to reinforce the advisory group . . .

III RECOMMENDATIONS.

1. The entire faculty should be involved in the advising
of students, along with interested administrators . . .

2. Each advisor would have a distribution of classes as
advisees . . .

3. The number of advisees per class per advisor should
be limited to three or four, and fairly close control should
be exerted to hold the total number of advisees per faculty
member at this level . . .

4. The equivalent of a one-credit course should be
scheduled for each advisor with his Freshmen advisees . . .

5. A Council of Advisors should be provided to plan,
operate, and evaluate orientation programs for faculty
(both present and incoming) and students . . .

6. To augment the current medical, religious, and
counseling services, the College should investigate the
possibility of securing the services of a clinical psychologist
on a part-time basis . . .

IV CONCLUSIONS.

There have been concerns expressed that under a system
such as the model describes, success will be due in large
measure to the nature, quality, and effectiveness of the
advising system. While the subcommittee agrees that effec-
tive counseling/advising is important, . . there will be
students who will not avail themselves of the system any
more than necessary and who will do well or badly in spite
of, not because of, the system . . .

As the situation changes and the model becomes reality,
problems impossible to foresee at this point will be certain
to occur; the best that can be hoped for is that the advisors
and their council will be sufficiently flexible to deal with
them, and that the entire problem will be accorded
continuing scrutiny by all concerned.

CIVIL ENGINEERING EDUCATION AT WPI

A PLAN FOR THE CHALLENGES
OF THE MODERN AGE

by
CARL H. KOONTZ

Professor and Head of Civil Engineering

Ed. Note: Since the following article was written, the Faculty has
approved the proposed program, effective with the spring term of
1970. Following the trend for more flexibility in individual
programs, the adopted plan calls for only twelve required civil
engineering courses. The traditional sophomore math, physics, and
physical education courses will still be required, but the remainder
of the program will consist of elective courses. Six elective courses
must be from the offerings in humanities and social studies. The
remaining twelve elective courses must include one course each from
the areas of environment, planning, structures and transportation.
This will leave eight courses which can be selected to best meet
individual needs. Another feature will be the possibility of selecting
a program which will lead directly to a master's degree.

INTRODUCTION

From the broadest viewpoint, all technical and scientific
resources may be classified into one or any combination of
three areas denoted as energy, materials, and information.
Engineering progress in these areas has produced, deliber-
ately or by accident, an involved pattern of organized
systems of men, machines, structures, and environment
designed to handle and process energy, materials, and
information. As a natural consequence, engineering practice
has evolved as a system made up of four major subsystems
dealing broadly with machines (mechanical engineering),
chemical processes (chemical engineering), energy and
information (electrical engineering), and physical environ-
ment (civil engineering). It is largely through these systems
that man seeks to control his physical and economic
environment while he expands his social and cultural
achievements.

Traditional engineering practice of the past and of the
present has placed major emphasis on design and develop-
ment which can be incorporated into the technical systems
of energy materials and information. Unfortunately, not
enough attention has been given to the fact that technical
systems must operate within a framework of human values
defined by ethical, moral, religious, and cultural considera-
tions together with their legal and economic consequences.
Every significant advance of civilized society has been the
result of very complicated and dynamic arrays of forces
produced as technological developments are forced into the
framework of human values. An unstable balance-of-power
situation exists with the balance point constantly shifting as
technology advances and mutations of the technological
system develop or as patterns of human values change.
Resulting imbalances generate severe conflicts between the
technical system and the current framework of human
values.

As an example, the present stage of development and
use of the modern internal combustion engine represents a
truly great technological achievement. The benefits derived
from it by our modern society are of immeasurable value.
Modern mechanical marvels, powered by the internal
combustion engine, rapidly transport products of com-
merce, which are also the result of technological progress,
from points of origin to centers of consumption. Separated
by thousands of miles, all people are communal in the sense
of a mutual sharing of the products of their labors and
wealth made possible through spectacular systems of
transportation and of communication. Similar advantages
exist with respect to recreational, cultural, and other
opportunities that are vastly important to the general
well-being of mankind.

As further advances are made into this modern age of
transportation, the failures associated directly or indirectly
with the internal combustion engine are attracting more
attention and becoming of greater immediate and future
concern than the successes. As the major single source of air
pollution, the internal combustion engine threatens the
very health and well-being that it has been instrumental in
enhancing in other ways. In localized areas, transportation
by modern modes is now even less rapid than that by
modes replaced. Injuries, deaths, and property damage
resulting from the improper operation of vehicles have
reached preponderant economic levels. Vast areas of valu-
able land, a precious natural resource, have been diverted
from other uses, real and potential, to those associated with
the movement and storage of vehicles.

The point made here is that the measure of value of an
engineering accomplishment is obviously time dependent.

THE JOURNAL

An engineering solution of yesterday can be an engineering
problem of tomorrow; a success of yesterday, a failure of
tomorrow. A need of yesterday can be an unwanted
commodity of tomorrow. These are truths that can be
evidenced by example after example. Human values deter-
mine what is success and what is failure. Human values
change, sometimes rapidly and radically.

Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to com-
pletely avoid dislocations of forces and their resulting
impact upon human values and society. The important
thing, from the viewpoint of engineering practice and of
engineering education, is to recognize that the engineer
must move with equal ease between the abstract world of
science and technology and the real world of people and
culture. C. P. Snow, the British scientist and novelist, once
spoke of these two worlds as the "two cultures", deploring
the widening gap between the culture of the scientist and
the culture of the humanist. He, as well as most engineers
and engineering educators of the past and of today,
overlooked the fact that the engineer is the bridge between
the two.

By virtue of education and inclination, the engineer,
almost alone, must shuttle between the "two cultures". The
conflict between East and West, the conflicts between
different economic and political systems, the rising aspira-
tions of the economically depressed, the explosion in
scientific knowledge, the rapidly accelerating growth of
human population, all of these factors and many more
make technological advance an absolute necessity. But even
while society demands engineering progress as necessary for
physical well-being, health, comfort, and safety, for higher
standards of production and consumption, for a better way
of life for all, it must, quite properly, insist that engineers
design organized technological systems also to preserve,
protect, and enhance those social, ethical, moral, and legal
institutions which truly represent the highest aspiration of
the culture of which the engineer is a part. This places an
incredible burden of responsibility on the engineer. He
must creatively exploit scientific knowledge to improve
existing, or to design new, technological systems, while
protecting and enhancing national cultural and social
aspirations. Although no man, nor any group of men, is
sufficiently wise to foresee all the social and cultural
stresses created by an advance in technology, engineers have
a responsibility to minimize dislocations antithetical to the
expressed aspirations of their city, state, nation, or culture.
Failing in this, they may destroy the very essence of the
culture they are striving to protect and enhance.

Engineering education, as it was formulated in the
not-too-recent past and as it has existed even to today, was
obviously geared to a consideration of those needs of
society and human values associated with the "industrial
revolution". Truly to be admired are those educational
leaders of the past century who evolved patterns of

education completely attuned to the practice of engineering
— practice that was, in all respects, completely compatible
with societal needs and desires. Engineering practice was
"hardware" oriented. Engineering designs produced those
systems of machines and processes that made possible the
development of an unprecedented technologically-based
economy. With marvelous rapidity this nation became the
most affluent society on earth. During that era, engineers
made possible the tremendous productive capacity of our
industrial complex. They engineered systems of trans-
portation and communication which, indeed, made this
nation a single community wherein all segments could
achieve full mutual benefit from the natural and man-pro-
duced resources of all others. They made possible, and
necessary, the development of our huge centers of popula-
tion and provided the structural designs necessary to
achieve compactness and conveniences compatible with
then current standards. They produced those designs that
have given modern personal convenience and comfort to
individuals and to families. They have produced countless
gadgetry designed specifically to make life more enjoyable.

In all respects, up to the recent past, engineering has
been spectacularly successful in its role as the bridge
between scientific and human cultures. It is speculated that
the success it has enjoyed has tremendous influence on
what appears to be a reluctance to reorient — a reluctance
that is similarly reflected in engineering education. It is
perhaps the case that the prolonged relevance of engi-
neering practice and education, through several decades, to
human values has led to a lulling of the senses. The
importance of the real world of human values has been
completely overshadowed by the successes of the past
brought about in the abstract world of technology. Human
values, the real or desired needs and interests of society,
have changed over the past couple of decades, subtly at first
but more explosively in the recent past. Prime need exists
now not for the industrially-geared engineering systems of
the past but for the sociologically-geared engineering
systems attune with present values.

Man has constantly altered his environment through
technological "progress". Such alterations generally force
him to respond to the very changes he has caused.
Accommodation, in the past, has been an evolutionary
adaptation process. Technological advances of the recent
past, accelerating at an ever-increasing rate, together with
accelerating industrialization, urbanization, and population
growth among others, all have combined to similarly
accelerate the rate at which accommodation must be made
in order to maintain proper balance between scientific and
human value cultures. All have introduced new and serious
threats to man's health and well-being. Accommodations
can no longer be accomplished without rational planning.

This crisis in the affairs of man has become known in
this land, and in other highly developed nations, as the

THE JOURNAL

urban crisis. Most of the ever-mounting problems that are as
yet unsolved arise out of urbanization, and urbanization is
the inescapable distribution pattern for populations of
man's entire future. Transportation in and between urban
centers, the preservation of land, air, water, power, and
space, their allocation, collection, and treatment and dis-
posal of wastes, preservation of recreational resources,
rehabilitation, preservation of residential values, elimination
of blighted areas, land values, commercial interests, indus-
trial expansion — these are all contemporary problems that
have not been adequately solved and that will continue to
increase in magnitude and importance with time.

The exclusively man vs. machine age of engineering
practice is obsolete. Human values today require a reor-
iented approach. The man vs. environment age of engi-
neering is the pattern of the future if, indeed, it is not
already overdue. The industrial crisis of the past has been
replaced with the urban crisis of today. Engineering
practice and engineering education must be reoriented to
face the challenges of this crisis.

CIVIL ENGINEERING IN THE MODERN AGE

Through the ages, a great deal of attention has been
given by many to a properly drawn definition of engi-
neering in general and the various engineering disciplines in
particular. It is difficult to resist the temptation to add still
another inadequate definition to those already in existence
for civil engineering, but preference is given to sensible
indifference to the definition game. Civil engineering is
simply what a civil engineer does. He knows what it is but
generally is too busy doing it and enjoying it to worry
about defining it. An insight into the wide variety of
endeavors involved in civil engineering practice can be had
from a perusal of the titles of the fourteen current technical
divisions of the American Society of Civil Engineers:
Aero-Space Transport, Construction, Engineering Mechan-
ics, Highways, Hydraulics, Irrigation and Drainage, Pipeline,
Power, Sanitary Engineering, Soil Mechanics and Founda-
tions, Structural, Surveying and Mapping, Urban Planning
and Development, and Waterways and Harbors. All of these
can be broadly classified as components or functions in one
or more of four broad subsystems in the total system of
civil engineering practice: transportation systems, structural
systems, environmental control systems, and urban plan-
ning systems.

Two all-important features dominate the practice of civil
engineering and make such practice significantly different
from the practice of engineering of the other classical
disciplines. First, civil engineering design in any one of the
areas delineated above is systems design. In most instances
of civil engineering works, such systems become subsystems
to a larger system in the sense that such works generally
involve an amalgamation involving several of the delineated
areas. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, it should be

clear that civil engineering, much more than any other
branch of engineering, is engineering for basic human needs.
The involvement of the civil engineer with the society he
serves is direct. Further, civil engineering, much more than
any other branch, is interdisciplinary. Sanitary engineering
and structural engineering, for example, have distinctly
different scientific bases. The direct relation of civil
engineering with people suggests an appropriate involv-
ement with sociology, government, politics, economics, and
administration, among others.

Clearly indicated is the fact that civil engineering
practice must involve a systems engineering approach that
takes into account the interdependence of all factors and
permits decision-making on some rational basis. The piece-
meal approach concentrated on limited and disjointed
objectives such as air quality control, water quality control,
sanitation, and transportation, each for its own sake, will
continue, but systems analysis must be applied to these as
subsystems of some total system. Ultimate design of a
subsystem, impeccable as it may be, must ultimately stand
the test of acceptability into the total system.

Systems analysis is not new to civil engineering practice.
As previously described, design in any one of the divisions
of practice involves systems analysis, and civil engineering
works usually require the amalgamation of systems repre-
senting more than one of the recognized divisions. Systems
analysis, as it is currently applied, is almost exclusively
oriented toward technological aspects of design. Decidedly
lacking is the all-important interface and interaction with
social values. It should be clearly obvious that most
effective decision making can be accomplished only with
the aid of analysis based on all related elements that are
significant subsystems of the total physical and social
environmental system.

The problems involved in the environmental system have
several common and general characteristics. They include
several components. Each component contains several
variables. Interactions between components are generally
more important than the components themselves. Variation
with time is a dominating factor. The allocation of limited
resources and economic efficiency is an important consider-
ation. Decisions must be made from that viewpoint. Such
decisions must be made under a high degree of uncertainty
about the future. Great dependence must exist on prob-
abilities and statistical inferences. Solutions depend on
quantification of the elements of the system. They depend
also on optimization of the response of the system.

This is the challenge of the modern age to the practice
of engineering. This is the challenge to engineering educa-
tion. Because the traditional interests of the civil engi-
neering profession have always spoken directly to the needs
of society in all of the areas of concern, this, more than for
any other discipline, is the direction in which civil
engineering education must turn. It is not to be implied

THE JOURNAL

that the environmental system is alone civil engineering. Far
from it. However, that discipline is, inescapably, the key
element and must play a dominant role in a systems
engineering approach to the problems of the human
environment.

These considerations lead conclusively and specifically
to a non-traditional approach to the traditional education
of civil engineers, which will add new dimension and power.
Each substantive application area must be pursued with a
view to a central emphasis, the entire environmental
system. Until such time as civil engineering education meets
the objective of enhancing the ability of a student to deal
effectively with modern problems in a particular setting;
until such time as civil engineering education brings the
student to the position of attaining a general problem
solving ability that will permit him to contribute in a
number of different problem settings; until such time as
civil engineering education provides to the student the
ability to integrate and interrelate aspects of several
settings; until then> civil engineering practice and education,
a key element in the modern age human environment
problem, will not properly respond to its mission. Until
then, all important decisions will continue to be made on
the same basis as before, through artistic, political, or
superficial economic considerations.

CURRICULA AND ANCILLARY CONSIDERATIONS

Only a few years ago, curricula of the various engi-
neering disciplines had a narrowly oriented base in the
so-called professional aspects of engineering design. Empha-
sis was on the methodology necessary to produce the
hardware required to serve in the development of a rapidly
developing industrial technology. In recent years, it became
evident to some that the practice of engineering was lagging
somewhat behind the explosive development of scientific
knowledge. It was no doubt apparent to engineering
educators and others, with an inborn bias toward tech-
nology and overwhelmingly influenced by the successes of
the past, that continued successes could be accelerated only
by emphasis, educationally, on the basic and engineering
sciences. Influenced greatly by ASEE and ECPD, and by
the availability of research funding, educational programs in
engineering shifted toward a scientific base. At about the
same time, sometimes strongly and irrationally resisted by
engineering educators, pressures from other sources led to
increased emphasis in curricula on liberal studies. This latter
development could be interpreted as a recognition of the
interface between engineering and human values. A frank
evaluation might, however, lead to the observation that
efforts in this regard have been more rhetoric than they are
of true significance.

What has been the result is evidenced by most present
day engineering curricula. Everything that has been done in
undergraduate education has been forced into the time-old
framework of a four-year curriculum. Reluctance to change

and a failure to recognize that change is in order have led to
the retention of traditional, and sometimes obsolete,
coursework and programs-. The time honored emphasis on
producing specialists of one sort or another has been
generally retained, perhaps watered down as the result of
time restrictions, but still recognizable and still geared to an
emphasis on industrial development.

But far worse, graduate engineering education serves
further to entrench the traditional and sometimes out-
moded patterns of the past. True specialties in narrow areas
are developed at the M.S. level and, in a sense, almost trivial
facets of a specialty are highly developed at more advanced
levels. While society with its problems demands a more
broadly educated engineer, education continues to produce
an overabundance of those ever more narrowly oriented.
These, in general, become the educators of new generations,
and the system is self-perpetuating.

It is not to be implied from the above statements that
there no longer is need for the engineering specialist capable
to design technological systems much the same as in the
past. It is also not to be implied that there is no longer need
for the engineering researcher deeply involved in the
technical aspects that lie at the base of engineering
solutions. The broad range of works in civil engineering
practice requires, for many, inevitable specialization over
only a limited range of the technological spectrum in order
that distinct and worthwhile contributions can be made to
the whole. On the other hand, complex projects require
civil engineering generalists with a broad understanding of
several of the areas of the profession. These considerations
have a complex influence on civil engineering educational
programs in that they require the opportunity for breadth
as well as depth in the technically oriented portions of the
curriculum. Further, since the most significant charac-
teristic of the technical output of today's civil engineer is
its influence on society, a properly oriented civil engi-
neering curriculum must provide a balance between tech-
nological content and that associated with social respon-
sibility. It is this latter element, heretofore generally lacking
in the mental equipment of the young civil engineer, that
must receive considerable attention in his education.

Although the technical aspects of civil engineering are,
as they always have been, key elements in the human needs
problems of engineering, other disciplines are also involved.
A few of the more important are sociology, government
and politics, management and administration, business and
economics and others such as the basic sciences and biology
and public health aspects of medicine. The broad educa-
tional perspective is at least the opportunity for a complete
interdisciplinary approach providing strong linkages among
various of the supporting elements.

Another important consideration is involvement. In civil
engineering practice there is direct involvement of the
practitioner in problems at the human interface. Oppor-

CAMPUS NOTES

CURRICULUM CHANGES
Computer Science Program

The faculty has approved an under-
graduate degree program in computer
science effective in the fall of 1970. It
is added to the degree programs at WPI
only one year after a master's degree
program in computer science was
adopted at WPI. The new program,
however, is only a degree-granting pro-
gram and is not a department. It was
adopted to offer undergraduate- stu-
dents a coherent and meaningful se-
quence of courses in computer science
to support their educational and
technical training, or to prepare them,
if they so desire, for professional
careers in the computer science field.

The program will include such
courses as Higher Level Programming,
Digital Computing Processes, Systems

Programming, Business Data Proc-
essing, and Introduction to Analog/
Hybrid Computer Programming. In
addition, humanistic courses such as
Social Implications of Information
Processing and Human Factors in
Computer-based Systems will be re-
quired. The program is designed to
follow two computer courses presently
offered as electives in the freshman
year, and it will result in the awarding
of a Bachelor of Science degree at the
end of four years.

Physics Curriculum

The faculty has also approved a
curriculum change for undergraduate
physics majors which will allow a
greater degree of flexibility in their
program. In a move which will permit
physics majors to better meet career
objectives, the new program has re-

duced the number of required credits
in the junior and senior years to 1 5 per
semester from the previous require-
ment of 18 credits per semester each
year.

The new program requires 42 credit
hours in physics and 21 credit hours in
mathematics for graduation as op-
posed to the previous requirements of
51 credits in physics and 27 credits in
mathematics. Also available will be an
option for the student to take a lab
course or a project course.

WORCESTER CONSORTIUM
PARTICIPATION

Formed in 1968 with a goal of
broadening and enriching academic
and continuing education opportu-
nities in the Worcester area, the
Worcester Consortium for Higher
Education, Inc. has shown continual
growth, and interest is increasing.
Figures for the fall semester of 1969
indicate a total of 173 Worcester-area
college students cross registered. This
was a marked increase over the 96
students who participated in the pro-
gram during the spring semester of
1969. In addition, each semester, a
number of students enroll in courses at
the Worcester Art Museum, and these
figures are not included in the totals
shown.

WPI participation has been some-
what limited and involved a total of 18
students and 63 credit hours of cross
registration at other schools during the
fall semester of 1969. This included 12
students who attended Clark Univer-
sity courses during the day and six
students who participated in evening
courses at Clark. Cross registration
from other schools to WPI last fall
included two from Assumption, nine
from Clark, and five from Holy Cross.

THE JOURNAL

Construction of Stoddard Residence Center progresses

rapidly toward an anticipated

completion date of early fall, 1970.

Clark and Holy Cross have been the
most active participants in the Con-
sortium. Last fall 74 Clark students
and 52 Holy Cross students registered
at other institutions. These two
schools were also popular with stu-
dents from other schools, as 76 regis-
tered at Clark and 57 participated at
Holy Cross.

MORATORIUM ACTIVITY

WPI had a somewhat limited in-
volvement in the Vietnam morato-
riums last fall. The October mora-
torium involved a varying number of
students and WPI personnel through-
out the day. The decision to hold
classes on that day was left to each
instructor and in most cases classes
were held, but the attendance was low.
The day began with about 75 students
attending a teach-in at Olin Hall which
was a brief history class about the
Vietnam war. Later that morning,
about 20 WPI students joined a large
number of students from other area
colleges in distributing anti-war leaflets
and petitions throughout the city.

The largest activity of the day was
a peace rally by college students in

downtown Worcester. An estimated
400 WPI students participated in the
rally and the peaceful and orderly
march downtown from the campus.
The rally included speakers from many
of the area colleges, but WPI was not
represented on the speaker's platform.

The march on Washington was at-
tended by about 40 WPI students who
made the trip to Washington by char-
tered bus. Most of those who attended
found sleeping quarters on the gymna-
sium floor at Catholic University, and
at least some were disappointed that
the march failed to gain more atten-
tion than it did in Washington. Ac-
cording to Paul J. Cleary, '71, who
attended and wrote the following for
the Tech News, "Most people in the
city paid little attention to the
240,000 marchers. ..The President's
ability to ignore large-scale dissatis-
faction is incredible. ..The march is
over now and no change in our Viet-
nam policy has been effected. In that
light, the march on Washington can
only be judged as the most impressive
failure in the history of anti-Vietnam
protests."

COMMUNITY COUNCIL FORMED

A Tech Community Council has
been formed on campus as a method
for the faculty, students, and adminis-
tration to get together on an equal
basis to discuss anything which con-
cerns WPI. It is the first time in the
history of the Institute that a formally
structured organization such as this
has ever existed. The Council is com-
posed of 13 members, six of whom are
students, and includes the following
distribution: five undergraduates, one
graduate student, four faculty, and
three administration members. The
undergraduate student body elected
two students, one faculty member,
and one administrator; the graduate
students elected their representative;
the faculty elected one student, two
faculty members, and one adminis-
trator; and the President appointed
one student, one faculty member, and
one administrator.

The Council was not formed to be
an action group on campus, nor was it
formed to supercede any existing
campus organization. Rather it was
formed with the sole purpose of pro-
viding a forum for discussion. From
the discussions, however, the Council
will be able to make recommendations
to groups on campus, so that they may
take any appropriate action. Thus a
new method has been introduced on
campus for improving communication
among students, faculty, and the
administration.

GLEE CLUB ON TOUR

The WPI Glee Club, under the very
capable direction of Prof. Louis Cur-
ran, will make a one-week concert tour
during the week of March 30, 1970.
The itinerary will include Albany,
N.Y., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cleveland,
Ohio. In each city, the Glee Club will
present an evening concert, with a
local girls' college if possible, for WPI
alumni, friends, and the public. This
will be followed the next morning by
an appearance in at least one of the
area high schools.

The Glee Club will also travel to
New York City for a Palm Sunday
afternoon concert at St. Thomas
Cathedral. In addition, a trip to the
Washington, D.C. area is being con-
sidered for mid-April.

The tour to Albany, Pittsburgh,
and Cleveland is being sponsored as a
joint venture by the Glee Club as a
worthwhile musical experience; by the
Admissions Office as a public relations
activity; and by the Alumni Associa-
tion as alumni chapter activity. It is
hoped that a majority of the housing
on this trip will be provided by
alumni, parents of students, and
friends.

The Glee Club currently consists of
over 60 members. They have been
extremely successful in recent years
and already this academic year they
have presented two impressive con-
certs in Worcester and Boston with
Wheelock College.

CHANGE TO COMPUTER

The Alumni Association is cur-
rently converting its record system to
storage on the Worcester Area College
Computation Center computer. In a
move which is also being made by
several other Worcester-area colleges,
the Association will be able to more
effectively serve both her alumni and
the school when the conversion is
completed around March 1, 1970.

Among the benefits, the change
will enable the Association to address
most of its mail with the computer, it
will maintain a more current record
system in regards to addresses and

businesses, it will provide a more
effective Alumni Fund program by
providing frequent up-dates of partici-
pation, it will enable district alumni
chapters to maintain closer contact
with area alumni, and it will eliminate
a large amount of time-consuming
filing in the office.

A number of files, however, will
still be maintained in the office for
certain purposes. The computer is only
as effective as the information which it
contains, and the office personnel will
be responsible for keeping it up to
date. Thus the storage of records on
the computer will increase the effec-
tiveness with which the Association
operates.

VARSITY REVIEW

Basketball

At press time, the Engineers have
compiled a respectable 4-5 record in
Coach Jim Herrion's first year at WPI
as head basketball coach. Herrion, who
was a former assistant and freshman
coach at Holy Cross under Jack
Donahue, is presently a guidance coun-
selor at Tantasqua Regional High
School in Sturbridge. He has instilled
new desire and hustle in his hoopsters,
and his efforts have paid off. While the
record is 4-5, two of those losses came
in close ball games away from home
against well-regarded Dartmouth and
Wesleyan.

They opened the season in Han-
over, N.H., against a much taller Dart-
mouth quintet. Using a full court zone
press and a deliberate offense, WPI was
in the ball game all the way, tying the
score on several occasions, before
bowing, 67-58. It was a well-rounded
team effort with junior Steve Watson
of Syosset, N.Y. and sophomore Jim
Henderson of New Haven, Conn, pro-
viding the board strength, while junior
Ned Cunningham of Waterbury, Conn,
and junior co-captain Tim Rooney of
Ludlow, Mass. led the offense with 20
and 21 points respectively.

On their next outing the Engineers
evened their record at 1-1 by rolling
over a small Brooklyn College team,
83-52. Once again a strong defense,
which caused 27 turnovers, and strong
rebounding played a major role. Tim
Rooney led all scorers with 25 points,
and Jim Henderson chipped in with 13
points and a large number of rebounds
and blocked shots. Rooney, inciden-
tally, was 22 for 24 from the foul line
in his first two games. The hoopsters
next lost a heartbreaker to Wesleyan,
77-75, in a double overtime ball game.
After being down 36-28 at half time,
they were psyched when they returned
to the floor and fought back to tie the
score at 62-62 at the end of regulation

time. Ned Cunningham led WPI's
scorers with 16 points.

Against a much taller Brown team
WPI lost its third game of the season
75-64 in a Winter Weekend home
game. The Engineers were plagued by
poor shooting, poor rebounding, and
an abundance of fouls which saw four
WPI players foul out. The leading
scorers were Rooney with 17, Cun-
ningham with 15, and junior Don
Backlund of Rehoboth, Mass. with 12.
The team brought its record to 2-3 in a
well-played game at home against
Amherst, winning 70-67. Once again
the zone press created a number of
scoring opportunities and offensively
the team was led by some fine foul
shooting and ball handling by Tim
Rooney.

In other games in this first portion
of the season, the Engineers lost to
nationally-ranked Assumption,
101-75; lost to MIT, 87-61; defeated
Bowdoin, 83-64, and defeated Lowell
98-75.

There are only two seniors on the
team, and they have seen very little
action so far. Co-captain Ollie Briggs
of Rutland, Mass. was injured and did
not dress for the first six games. The
remainder of the squad is made up
about evenly of juniors and sopho-
mores and with the hustle and desire
displayed so far, this "building year"
should lead to bigger and better sea-
sons in the future.

The freshman basketball team,
however, has been a disappointment to
Coach Ken Kaufman, who is in his
first year of coaching at WPI. They
lost their first six games, mostly by
wide margins, although they played
their best game at Wesleyan, losing by
4, 72-68. One bright spot has been the
offensive play of Bill lerardi of Ham-
den, Conn. He is the team's leading
scorer and is averaging over 20 points a
game, including a 45-point effort
against MIT.

Swimming

After the first two meets of the
season, the swimming team is off to an
excellent start with a record of 2-0.

Led by sophomores Al Nafis and
Bruce Eteson who turned in record-
setting performances, Coach Carl
Peterson's Mermen dumped Holy
Cross in their first meet 72-19. Nafis
knocked a full six seconds off the
school record in the 200-yard butter-
fly with a time of 2:35.5 and Eteson
broke the school record in the 200-
yard breaststroke by 0.3 seconds with
a time of 2:38.1. In the process of
defeating Holy Cross, the strong WPI
team won every event except diving
and gave up only two second place
finishes, thus showing its depth and
balance.

Against a fairly strong Trinity Col-
lege Swim team, WPI again showed its
strength and depth by scoring a 67-27
victory. On their way to victory, the
Engineers won eight of 1 1 events and
set two school records. Al Nafis once
again set a record, this time in the
500-yard free-style, with a time of
5:37.7. Sophomore John Loehmann
also set a record with a winning time
of 1:46.7 in the 100-yard individual
medley. Other strong performances
were turned in by co-captain Lou
Zitnay and Tom Weil.

Coach Peterson has a good reason
to be smiling these days. Not only is
his varsity team undefeated, but his
freshman team also has a perfect rec-
ord, having scored impressive victories
over Assumption Prep and Nichols. In
addition, Steve Johnson, from Weth-
ersfield, Conn., and Fred Baker, from
Falmouth, Me., have been officially
timed faster than the existing school
records in the 200-yard breaststroke
and 200-yard backstroke, respectively.
Thus, with a strong freshman team and
with sophomores setting school rec-
ords on the varsity, it looks like the
swimming outlook, not only for this

FHE JOURNAL

year but for the next few years, is very
good.

Wrestling

After the first three matches of the
season. Coach John Vino's wrestling
team has a record of 1-2.

The Matmen opened the season
against a relatively weak Brandeis
team, defeating them 32-10. After
forfeiting the 118-lb. and 126-lb.
matches, they came up with four pins
and four decisions to decisively defeat
the Judges. Senior co-captains Lenny
Polizzotto and Phil Warren, along with
Jeff Petry, '72, and Art Geetersloh,
'72, all came up with pins. Scott
Wallace (134), Bobby Mills (150),
Greg Dickson (158), and Ken Koike-
beck (190), all won by decisions.
Outstanding spirit and conditioning
were very much in evidence as WPI
overcame injuries and illness to win
their first match.

The Coast Guard Academy pro-
vided the opposition for the first home
match, and they defeated WPI 34-10.
It was a night which started out similar
to the Brandeis match with WPI for-
feiting the 118- and 126-lb. classes.
Polizzotto then pinned his opponent
in the first period, but Coast Guard
came back to win the next three
matches with two decisions and a pin.
Jeff Petry then won his match by
default, following an illegal slam which
left him unconscious, but his were the
last points WPI would score.

In their third encounter of the
season, the Matmen lost to a strong
M.I.T. team, 33-13. Winners for WPI
were Geetersloh and John Zorabedian,
who both won by falls, and Polizzotto,
who decisioned his opponent. With his
victory, Polizzotto brought his colle-
giate wrestling record to 33-4-1 .

The same night, the frosh wrestlers
lost in their first match of the season
to M.I.T., 29-12. A promising prospect
from this team appears to be Mike
Varga of Danbury, Conn., who wres-
tles at 126 lbs.

In other wrestling action, Lenny
Polizzotto captured the 134-lb. cham-
pionship at the 7th Annual M.I.T.
Christmas Holiday Open. He defeated

four opponents on his way to the
finals, and in the final match he
pinned his opponent at 3:50 to make
his record 8-0 for the season. WPI also
did well as a team as they came up
with a fifth place over-all finish in a
field of 29 schools.

SPRING

SPORTS

Baseball

Coach Charlie McNulty, entering
his 23rd season as head baseball coach
at WPI, will have a large number of
veterans to build his team around.
Gone from last year's club, which
compiled a 7-6 record, are only three
starters: southpaw Art Katsaros, one
of only two starting pitchers, and two
outfielders, Ed Griffith and Bob
Magarian.

McNulty will have his entire infield
returning, along with his catcher, two
pitchers, and one outfielder from a
year ago. Co-captains John Pel I i of
Cranston, R.I., a catcher with two full
years of experience, and Bob Johnson
of W. Boylston, Mass., an outfielder,
lead those returning. Other veterans

include first baseman Tom Rogers of
Berlin, Conn.; second baseman Tim
Rooney of Ludlow, Mass.; shortstop
George Moore of N. Grafton, Mass.;
third baseman Greg Sankey of Mans-
field, Mass.; and infielder Steve
Johnson of Holden, Mass.

Pitching appears to be the big
question mark. The only hurlers re-
turning are Bill Beloff of Rockport,
Mass., a starter along with Katsaros
last year, and relief pitcher Steve Katz
of Worcester. Other prospects include
Gary Smith of Holden, Mass., a starter
two years ago who missed last season,
and Jim Keefe of Arlington, Mass.,
who didn't play freshman ball last
year.

The team opens the season April 1 1
with a scheduled doubleheader with
MIT.

Track and Field

After compiling a somewhat dis-
appointing 7-8 record last year, head
coach Merl Norcross is looking for-
ward to having a winning season this
year. Graduation last year took,
among others, Charlie Zepp, an out-
standing 440-yd. man who holds the
WPI record in that event, and sprinter
Duncan Loomis.

Norcross will have a strong nucleus
of veterans returning this spring which
he will build his team around. Charlie
Basner of Reading, Mass., in the dashes
and the 440, and Tom Heinold of
Leominster, Mass., in the weight
events, will lead the team as co-
captains. Also returning will be middle
distance man Bob Downie of Warwick,
R.I., Mike Malone of Taunton, Mass.
and Bill Light of Port Chester, N.Y.,
both distance runners. A question
mark on the team will be sophomore
Mark Dupuis of Lunenburg, Mass.
Mark set freshman records last year in
both the shot-put and discus events,
but he suffered a serious knee injury
during last fall's football season. The
biggest weakness on the team appears
to be in the hurdle events.

According to Coach Norcross, the
freshmen, who participate in a limited
schedule, appear to be quite strong.

The Gordon Library
After 2% Years

by
ALBERT G. ANDERSON

Head Librarian

Two and one-half years have passed
since that bright day when the doors
opened to the George C. Gordon
Library. Yet not all immediate reac-
tions to that day were optimistic.
Many felt the library was going to be a
white elephant with inexcusable ex-
penses and perhaps even of little use.
Some faculty and students bemoaned
the fact that the departmental "librar-
ies" were no more, and thus, the book
and periodical collections in the new
building would just draw dust. Few of
the faculty and none of the students
would hold with such ideas today, for
this building more than any other has
tied the Institute together. Departmen-
talization is gone when it comes to
library operations. Everyone becomes
a part of WPI when he enters the doors
of this carpeted interior. Its design,
furnishings and decorations have set a
new tone for future building on the
campus as well as proved that good
architecture means a good investment.

Services which were nonexistent
before are now taken for granted.
There are few days in which the
Seminar Room is not in use by stu-
dent, faculty, and the Worcester Com-
munity. It is thought prestigious to
hold a meeting in the Archives Room.
Much interest is displayed at our ex-
hibits on the third floor. On the other
hand, disappointment is seen if the
latest home town newspaper or pop-
ular periodical is not on the rack or if
a certain record or tape is not available
in the Music Room. It is hard some-
times to distinguish between one's

personal and professional attitudes to
the library.

What does a library do? What is its
function? Whom does it serve? In
years past a library was a collection of
books and periodicals, neatly housed
on shelves with a few tables and chairs
for the few people who ventured to
read them. That concept has been
greatly vitiated. Now one thinks of a
library as a learning center where tools
of the mind may be stored and util-
ized. Although hard cover books are
still a major part of any library, one
cannot ignore micro-form reader-print-
ers, copiers, electronic calculators,
music and other audio services, visual
presentations through film and dis-
plays — individual and group study
areas — even lounges in which to relax
— all have become library functions.
The library is changing and will con-
tinue to do so in the many years to
come. Yet can we question this, for is
not change an inherent component of
growth? If we answer this in the
affirmative, then we must realize that
as the needs of our students, faculty
and society modify or enlarge, we
must in turn adapt to them. The
importance of automation in the li-
brary's operations is just beginning to
be studied in a serious manner so that
more practical and financially accept-
able programs may be designed for
improving the dissemination of knowl-
edge.

Recently, the Gordon Library has
become the headquarters of the Mas-
sachusetts Technical Referral Center, a
project supported by both federal and
state funds. The Center is to provide

Professor Anderson

the Commonwealth's business, com-
merce and industry with useful refer-
rals to appropriate technological infor-
mation and expertise.

Technical reports which have be-
come a major source of current engi-
neering and technical data and re-
search have often been ignored by
most libraries. They are usually
shelved in a back room without being
cataloged and classified with the hope
that no one will request them. Here
again we are attempting to find ways
to make such material more readily
available for use by the undergraduate,
graduate student, and faculty.

However fine the collection, a
library's reputation has always been
based upon the quality of its staff.
Too many times an individual's con-
tact with the staff is through the
untrained clerical help at the Circu-
lation Desk. Here again, I feel WPI has
done well. Our staff is young, eager
and intelligent so that one is not
discouraged from asking for assistance.
Part of the responsibilities and reward
of a good staff is to feel it is sharing in
the education of its patrons. It is most
important from a morale point of view
that the well-trained professional li-
brarian be accorded the same respect
as that which is given the faculty.

Formerly, environment was never
really given much thought in library
building. A table, chair, and suitable
lighting were considered adequate for
the "scholar". This idea, too, has been
drastically changed, for libraries gener-
ally lead the academic campus in
esthetic appearance. Air-conditioning,
carpeting, luminous lighting, windows

with extended views, and upholstered
furniture reflect some of the comforts
of the modern times. Bright colors,
textures, and variations of construc-
tion are as much a part of the environ-
ment as its circulation desk and book
shelves. In other words, today's library
is doing its thing in pleasant surround-
ings with a cheerful, competent staff
who cares about its patrons. In recent
years the library has been "trying a
little harder".

Now one might ask, what are the
future plans of the Gordon Library at
WPI? I foresee much more cooperation
and inter-use of the other academic
and special libraries in Worcester. With
the Worcester Consortium established
and a group called the Worcester Area
Cooperating Libraries much can be
done to break down the barriers of the
staid private college and its aloof view
of the outside world. The exchange of
students among the various campuses
will bring about, at some future time,
a library charging card that will be
accepted at all institutions within the
city. It will be the task of specific
libraries to maintain book materials of
certain disciplines. Here at WPI the
areas on which we shall concentrate
will certainly be those of engineering,
certain sciences, and the history of
science and technology. The various
academic libraries taken as a whole
will form a sort of unofficial Univer-
sity Library of Worcester.

Automation is a realistic goal as
well as a practical one under this
cooperative scheme. Central pur-
chasing of books as well as central
processing can be accomplished. This
could lead to a union-catalog of hold-
ings that is a complete listing of book
materials for the entire city. You may
ask, will this decrease efficiency of the
Gordon Library's operation for WPI
students? No, I believe it will be
enhanced, for the student body will
have at their disposal resources of
greater depth and scope than ever
before.

Another aspect of change will be
the increased use of film loops, short

THE JOURNAL

films explaining a specific function or
period in our history. Here again the
library will be housing numerous loops
and readers — the concept of the
picture book. Such loops, if carefully
designed, can act as a supplement to
classroom teaching.

With the great explosion of the
printed word, many feel that a library
building will be outgrown before it has
been completed. I hope that the Gor-
don Library will be more than
adequate to function into the next
century. This can be accomplished
through micro-storage of material.
Hard cover books and bound periodi-
cals consume space and cause the need
for physical expansion. There is no
reason that older and seldom used but
nonetheless valuable periodicals can-
not be placed on some sort of micro-
form, reducing the storage required to
the amount of 1 /1 00 to 1 /1 000 of the
existing area. With improved reading
equipment and excellent printers for
making full-sized copies, the student
can read and retain the material
needed for research. The library has
received from NASA 100,000 tech-
nical reports on microfiche, requiring

some eight file cabinets to house them.
This vast mine of information would
require an area 100' by 10' of shelving
were it not for the microfiche.

Problem solving is also becoming
another function that has been trans-
ferred to the library due to its long
hours of service — averaging fifteen
hours a day. The library contains the
fantastic electronic calculator for solv-
ing mathematical equations and engi-
neering problems. The one calculator
which is in the library at present is no
longer sufficient, for the demand is so
widespread that we are being forced to
consider additional ones.

The cultural area of education must
be augmented; the music room is
serving a viable purpose. It is a pleas-
ure to hear a student comment that he
enjoyed and appreciated other music
than rock and roll. Yet whether it be
classical, jazz, the blues or the now
accepted rock and roll as personified
by the Beatles, it is most important to
expose students to all types.

The displays, both in the vestibule
cases as well as those on the third floor
walls, attempt to give a wide variance
of the visual world. From the photo-

graphic exhibit of WPI's George E.
Schmidt to the lithographs of Stow
Wegenroth to the architectural design
of Nervi — the student is exposed to
an exciting artistic world. Japanese
and Chinese porcelains and pottery as
compared to fine printing provide still
another diverse expression of our
heritage.

I feel the Gordon Library continues
to progress with the times and within
it is serving the needs of its students
and faculty. However, this does not
mean we can be complacent. The
greatest need and present lack of the
library is an endowed fund in which
money is readily available — where the
new and unusual may be explored
toward resolving a better education for
our young people. With such a fund,
apart from day to day operating ex-
penditures, the library could be even a
stronger innovator in its teaching role.

Thus, the modern academic library
is no longer just a depository for the
written word, but encompasses what-
ever tools and methods are required to
be a learning center to stimulate the
mind and prepare it for contributing
to mankind.

ROTC at WPI-Very Much Alive

by
COL EDWARD J. GEANEY, JR.

Professor of Military Science

This fall, ROTC at Worcester Tech
took on a new look. For the first time
in its eighteen-year history, the pro-
gram became entirely voluntary. Al-
though this caused some drop in enroll-
ment, the size of the WPI Cadet Corps
remains quite respectable. Along with
this, a few bold innovations in our
course curriculum and in our approach
to practical leadership development
are helping to put new vitality into the
program. All things considered, ROTC
is very much alive on today's WPI
campus, and the outlook for the
future is optimistic.

Just what was the impact of the
change to voluntary ROTC — in num-
bers? — in quality? Our major concern,
of course, was the incoming freshman
class which, as expected, was well over
600 students. During the summer we
had written to all these prospective
cadets, explaining the purpose of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps and
how the program could help to pre-
pare them to fulfill their future
military obligation as commissioned
officers. We knew, however, that the
real payoff would be on the strength
of our appeal to these young men in

our personal contact with them at the
start of the school year. This oppor-
tunity came in September when all the
incoming male freshmen attended a
mandatory 30-minute orientation on
ROTC. This wasn't much time, we
realized, but we were determined to
make the best use of it. During this
period we briefly exposed the new
students to all the members of the
military staff (six officers, five NCO's,
and three civilians). We told them
about the ROTC program in general
and how it could benefit them. We
discussed Selective Service, how they

would be affected by it, and the
options that were open to them to
fulfill their military obligations; and
we covered the highlights of the four-
year ROTC program that they could
expect at WPI. After this 30-minute
required orientation, the new fresh-
men then had the option of attending
all or part of three additional orienta-
tion sessions before having to make up
their minds whether to enroll. As it
turned out, ROTC gained 130 of the
616 men presently in the freshman
class. We had hoped to enroll about
200 of these men, but we feel that 130
is a respectable number and one that
we can live with. With 50 sophomore
cadets, 49 juniors, and 56 seniors in
the program, this is a sizable decrease
from last year's total enrollment of
nearly 550. However, this is compen-
sated by the fact that we now have
cadets who are in ROTC because they
want to be part of the program. By
and large, we find that these men are
better motivated, more enthusiastic,
and a lot more responsive.

We on the military staff at WPI are
alert and sensitive to the tremendous
challenge that faces us today. We
welcome this challenge, and I believe
that we are facing it head on. After a
long period of introspection from
which we concluded that some of the
criticisms being leveled at ROTC must
be accepted as valid, we determined to
try some innovations this year aimed
at putting more vitality into the pro-
gram, more intellectual content and
stimulation in the courses, and more
variety and interest in Leadership Lab-
oratory.

What are some of the innovations
we came up with? For one thing, we
have revised the freshman year curricu-
lum by relegating military skill sub-
jects such as Weapons Proficiency,
Map Reading, and First Aid, to
Leadership Laboratory time, intro-
ducing subjects that have more
thought content and which lend them-
selves to inquiry and discussion by the
students. Realizing that the average
freshman has a very limited under-

standing of the Army and the role of
an officer, we are endeavoring to build
for him some frame of reference by
providing him a broad overall picture
of the Army, the job it must perform,
how it is organized and deployed
around the world, and how it manages
its resources. For example, we are
conducting a short course known as
Introduction to the Management of
Military Resources which is oriented
toward giving the cadet an appreci-
ation of the magnitude of the re-
sources for which the Army is
responsible and some understanding of
just what goes into the management of
men, materials, and money. In another
course, Leadership Fundamentals, we
examine the role of the officer, what
he is, what is expected of him, what an
officer does, and how he relates to the
non-commissioned officers and the
men who serve under him. I don't
mean to say that subjects like Weapons
Proficiency and Map Reading are
unimportant and should be ignored.
Not at all. But the fact is that these are
subjects which involve basic soldierly
skills. They involve rote memorization
of facts and statistical data, habit type
of learning and very little conceptual
understanding. We feel that the cadets
can familiarize themselves with these
subjects during Leadership Labora-
tory. Then in the more military atmos-
phere of ROTC summer camp, they
can improve on their knowledge of
and ability to perform these skills.

Let me say a word here about
Leadership Laboratory. Some of you
alumni who took ROTC at WPI will
remember this as "Drill". The term
Leadership Laboratory was adopted to
emphasize that drill is not just a
matter of marching for the sake of

THE JOURNAL

marching but is an opportunity for
practical leadership development of
the cadets. Leadership Lab is presently
conducted one day a week for an
80-minute period. For the freshmen
and sophomore cadets, this involves
about 12 attendances in the fall semes-
ter and equal time in the spring,
adding up to a little over one 30-hour
semester's work. This is the one period
in the week when all the cadets can be
together at one time and at one place
and when the cadet battalion (we are
too small to be a brigade any longer)
can function as such. A certain
amount of the time is taken up with
marching per se, and this certainly has
its place. The cadet officers and non-
commissioned officers get the oppor-
tunity to perform in their respective
roles. And the men in the ranks gain
some feeling of pride and esprit that
comes from teamwork, proficiency,
and well-disciplined response to drill
commands. However, realizing that
this type of activity can become mo-
notonous and boring when done to
excess, we are endeavoring to limit the
amount of time devoted to pure
marching and ceremonies in favor of
more varied activity that affords the
maximum number of cadets an oppor-

tunity to exercise leadership in some
form or other. Thus, by using part of
Leadership Lab time to familiarize the
freshmen with military skill subjects,
we are varying the drill program for
these men, at the same time giving
more upperclassmen an opportunity to
exercise leadership as instructors and
assistant instructors.

We took another step this year in
the direction of adding intellectual
content to our curriculum and stimu-
lating more student interest. This was
the introduction of a course in General
Psychology for the juniors. Here it
goes without saying that an under-
standing of the mechanics of human
behavior will help to make our WPI
students not only better military
leaders but better leaders in whatever
profession or field they might take up.
This particular course promoted a lot
of discussion and interplay between
instructor and cadet, and it was gener-
ally well-received.

For the seniors we have expanded
our course in Leadership and Manage-
ment and made it more sophisticated.
This course treats leadership as a phe-
nomenon of human behavior and
draws on some prior knowledge of
psychology. We go into leadership

Fort Devens, Mass. in April, 1969.

theory and offer the cadet a philoso-
phy of leadership. We take up the
functions of management and cause
the cadets to teach themselves by
actually planning, organizing, coordi-
nating, and directing all aspects of an
activity that will take place a few
months hence. In another sub-course,
we cover the human relations or group
dynamics aspects of leadership by dis-
cussing senior-subordinate relation-
ships, counseling, awards and punish-
ments, etc. This course lends itself to
maximum participation by the student
through role plays, problem solving
exercises, case studies, and seminar
discussions. We are also endeavoring to
enrich the course with guest lecturers.
For example, we recently had Dr.
Richard Juralewicz from the Manage-
ment Engineering Department of WPI,
who teaches courses in Social Psy-
chology and Human Relations in
Industry. He discussed with our cadets
some theories of leadership and vari-
ous leadership styles that can be used.
For February we have booked Mr.
John J. McCarthy, a well-known
management consultant to General
Electric Company (he lectures at West
Point as well), who will talk to both
the juniors and seniors on "Executive
Leadership".

Just how well we are doing in all
this remains to be seen. While we are
very enthusiastic about today's ROTC
program at WPI, we are not static. In
our experimentations for new and
better ways, I do believe we are
making a little progress. Most impor-
tantly, we continue to be our own
worst critics.

To sum it all up, we in the Military
Department feel that we are in part-
nership with the school and that we
are complementing what the university
does by contributing in some way to
the total development of the "whole-
man" here at WPI.

We might be smaller in size than we
were in the past, but we are still going
strong. Yes, indeed, ROTC is still very
much alive on the WPI campus.

THE JOURNAL

A New Techniquest In 1970

by
DR. RAYMOND R. HAGGLUND, '56

Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering

"Did you have firm ideas about a career choice when you were a high school student?"

"What is the purpose of Techniquest?"

Techniquest is a one-week summer program for high
school juniors who want to investigate engineering as a
possible career choice.

The summer of 1970 marks the thirty-second program
which is designed to expose the students to the general field
of engineering and to college life. A change is being made in
the program this year to provide the students with a more
realistic and meaningful engineering experience. This will be
accomplished by giving a significant engineering problem to
teams of approximately 20 students. Each engineering team
will be directed by a professor who will play the role of
a chief engineer or manager. The team will be expected to
arrive at a reasonable solution at the end of the one-week
program.

This article will answer many questions about the
program. After reading the article, you may find that you
agree with the new idea. If so, you can be instrumental in
helping high school students investigate engineering as a
career by encouraging them to attend the Techniquest
program. It is also possible for you, the alumni, to actively
participate by providing engineering projects and/or case
studies.

"What exposure to college life and engineering does the
program give to the student?"

The program can be divided into six major areas, namely:

1. Engineering Problem Experience

2. Aptitude Testing

3. College Lectures

4. Evening Seminars

5. Dormitory Life

6. Industrial Tours

The "new" and "old" Techniquests have the same major
areas. The major difference in the programs, however, is in
the Engineering Problem Experience, and a more detailed
explanation will be provided for this area.

1. Engineering Problem Experience

In the "old" Techniquest, groups of approximately ten
students would visit all engineering and science departments
and would participate in a 45-minute work experience. This
experience generally consisted of a lecture, an experiment,
a discussion of results, and a quiz with a recorded grade.
This meant that the students were rushed through many
unrelated experiences. Of course, the students saw many
interesting phenomena, but they did not actively partici-
pate in defining the problem or planning the solution
and/or the experiment. It is safe to say that the students
did not become exposed to engineering by today's stand-
ards. In addition, the recorded grades for each work
experience were accumulated and averaged and were
supposed to indicate the students' ability to do engineering
work.

The "new" Techniquest is different because the students
play an active role as part of a working engineering team. A
problem will be assigned to a team of 20 students by the
professor-manager. The professor will introduce the stu-
dents to a logical design thought process which is used in
engineering to solve problems from a systems point of view.

The logical thought process incorporates the entire
design cycle from problem definition to solution. It will be
up to the students to define the problem in simple,
understandable terms; to recognize the need for specialized
information; to make assumptions; to create ideas and plans
for solving the problem; and to choose one plan which will
lead to a reasonable answer at the end of one week.

Hopefully, the students will experience the joys and
frustrations that an engineer learns to live with when
solving problems employing a similar design cycle. This
experience should give the student more food for thought
when considering engineering as a profession.

This project learning approach represents a new way of
teaching for many faculty and is undoubtedly a new
experience for the students. Some of the students will

THE JOURNAL

experience the difficulties of managing a section, and all of
the students will experience the sociological problems often
encountered in group endeavors.

The professor-manager will play an important role. He
will have to direct the students, but not lecture to them.
Each group of 20 students will be broken down into smaller
groups of three members, and one student will be ap-
pointed section head. The section head will have the
responsibility of directing the total section effort. It will be
necessary for the professor-manager to monitor each
section and to keep all of his sections related and working
toward their common goal.

Each of the professor-managers will assign a different
project. Idealistically, the projects should be interdiscipli-
nary in nature so that the engineering teams will be exposed
to a variety of areas in engineering, science, and the
humanities. In actual practice, however, it is difficult to
cover all of these fields. It is felt that this is not important;
rather, it is more important for the students to be
introduced to the engineering way of thinking common to
all engineering departments.

Throughout this plan, engineering has been emphasized
over science. It is meant to be that way. It is felt that the
students have a fairly clear understanding of science and
what a scientist does from their high school courses, but
that they have a very vague understanding of engineering
and what an engineer does. Hence, the emphasis is on
engineering.

2. Aptitude Testing

At the end of the week, the students should have some
idea of their interests and their ability in engineering. In
addition, aptitude testing will also be provided by educa-
tional testing personnel from Clark University to provide
another measure of ability and aptitude. Also, the profes-
sor-managers will provide qualitative information relative to
the students' interests and engineering ability. At the end of
the week, all three parties — the student, the educational
tester, and the professor-manager — will make a qualitative
judgment for the student relative to engineering as his
career choice. This will be done for each student.

3. College Lectures

Obviously, the students will not have the background
knowledge to solve the engineering problem. They should,
however, recognize the need for specialized information.
Furthermore, they can define their specific needs. Some
information will be provided by showing the students how
to use the library effectively. In addition, lectures will be
given by a staff of professor-consultants in such fields as
physics and chemistry. In this way, the student will
experience the total learning environment.

4. Evening Seminars

The evening hours will be more relaxed. Each evening
will be devoted to a special topic, such as digital computers,

their application to engineering, and a limited amount of
programming; analog computers; the role of the humanities
in engineering; panel discussions on the various employ-
ment opportunities in engineering, such as research, design,
sales, etc., and how to select a college and a particular field
of engineering. These are only a few examples of possible
topics for discussion.

5. Dormitory Life

For most students, this will be their first experience
living in a dormitory environment. In any case, they will
sample the present college dormitory life.

6. Industrial Tours

At the end of the week, the students will tour a local
industry. This will give them a chance to see an industrial
environment and to see how an engineer applies his
education. It will also be an opportunity to view manufac-
turing processes which are a direct product of engineering.

"Aren't we expecting too much from high school
students?"

The "new" Techniquest is designed after the WPI
freshman course, ES-102 (Introduction to Engineering). My
personal experience with the course shows that the fresh-
men are capable of arriving at solutions to problems. The
solutions are not optimum, but they are acceptable. It is
more important for the student to learn the engineering
way of thinking than to obtain the "best" solution. Hence,
learning to think, gathering information, and making
decisions are considered most important. Surprisingly, the
freshmen can do it very well.

"Can you give an example of a typical project?"

The following project is proposed for one of the
projects. It was used in ES-102 in the fall term of 1969 and
could be scheduled for Techniquest.

Problem: To determine the effectiveness of automobile
radiator additives, such as Kwick Kool and Prestone, in
preventing engine overheating.

Explanation: The students are not given any of this
information. It is presented here only to show the depth of
involvement of a typical project.

The project is experimental in nature and requires
detailed thinking and understanding. It uses concepts and
theories from thermodynamics such as temperature, heat,
boiling point, specific heat and energy. In addition, the
project shows the difference between scientific experiments
designed to get a quantity like specific heat as compared to
an engineering test using an automobile engine to measure
the cooling effectiveness of the additives. The project also
shows the difficulty in obtaining good experimental data.
Support faculty from physics, chemistry, and mechanical
engineering are required. The project is loaded with joy and
frustration.

Leo S. Jansson Award

February 1, 1970

Dear "Techman":

Recently Worcester Tech lost one of its most well-
known and well-liked personalities, Leo Jansson. Leo died
on September 15, 1969, after having spent the previous
three months at the Fort Devens Army Hospital.

The following editorial appeared in the September 16th
issue of the Tech News:

"HIYA. KID, HOW'S IT GOING?"

He was our man, sincere, dedicated;
he cared so much about so many
athletes. So often he worked twelve
hours and more, advising, healing, and
caring for his boys. . . his experienced
hands banishing pain, daring it to
return. Work? No. . . life.

He helped with your problems, but
never had any of his own. His time was
yours — his friendship forever. His
friends were his life, and his life he
loved.

And he is. . . a departed friend.

To honor the memory of Leo Jansson, we are imple-
menting an annual award, to be known as the Leo S.
Jansson Memorial Award, to be "awarded to the sopho-
more who best exemplifies the WPI Athlete", as described
by the plaque, "The WPI Athlete", found in the varsity
locker room. This plaque specifies the true WPI athlete as

exhibiting high personal standards of physical, moral, and
social behavior; as being a gentleman athlete; as possessing
courage, devotion, and a desire to achieve excellence. The
selection of the recipient will be made by the coaching staff
of WPI.

A permanent plaque will be placed in the lobby of
Harrington Auditorium bearing the names of the annual
recipients. Each year the awardee will receive a scholarship
amounting to the interest received on the principal in the
fund. Presentation of the award will be made at the Spring
Honors Convocation.

In order to establish a fund for this award, we are asking
alumni and those currently enrolled at Worcester Tech, as
well as faculty and administration, to make donations to
the Leo S. Jansson Memorial Award Fund, c/o Fred Broad,
Development Office, Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Your generous support will assure that all future
members of the Tech community are aware of Leo's
unselfish dedication to the men who made his life worth-
while.

Sincerely,

William J. Hakkinen, '70

ALUMNI FUND PROGRESS REPORT

After only four months have passed in this year's
Annual Alumni Fund program, a total of $71,560.31 has
been contributed by loyal alumni. In addition, a sum of
$6,306.25 has been contributed by corporations who have
matching gift programs, thus making the total of the two
programs $77,866.56 as of December 31, 1969. Last year
on the same date the total was $71,100.52. This year only
the general mail solicitation has been conducted so far and
the personal solicitation will not be conducted until about
March 1, 1970. Thus a comparison of results by years is
somewhat misleading, but it does seem to indicate a trend
which should produce a record contribution of funds.

The Fund Board adopted an optimistic goal this year of
having at least 50% of all alumni contribute to the Fund.
Last year only 34% participated during the entire program.
To date this year 20% have contributed to the Fund as
compared to only 15% at the corresponding time a year
ago, and thus it appears that the goal of 50% participation
will at least be approached.

"Many thanks to all of the loyal alumni who have so
willingly contributed generously this year and in past years.
WPI needs more assistance from more alumni. I am sure
that more than 50% want to help WPI." So states Irving
James Donahue, Jr., '44, Alumni Fund Board Chairman.

Tax and Transfer Problems

in the Gift of Securities

by
FRED L. BROAD, JR.

WPI Director of Development

We have just come through that
season of the year when Americans go
on their annual philanthropic spree.
Those last few weeks of the year
when, as December 31st approaches,
we are reminded most forcefully that
if we want to give some money away
Uncle Sam will pick up part of the tab.
Which is another way of saying: When
anyone considers his taxes, gifts some-
times help the giver, too.

It has often been said that, "Amer-
icans like to give," and this is certainly
true as all our private educational and
charitable institutions bear witness.
But to procrastinate is human and this
is why as the year end approaches we
go scurrying around in our safe deposit
boxes to find some stock certificates
that can be used for this purpose. It
seems appropriate therefore, at this
time when all this is fresh in our
minds, for us to take a look at this
whole matter of supporting your Alma
Mater by gifts of securities. There are
many things about this that one ought
to know and that he seldom has time
to find out in the last minute rush to
beat the tax deadline.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute and
the Alumni Association welcome gifts
of securities. Use of this method is
often one of the simplest and best
ways one may make a gift to the
college. The college or the Association
may either add these securities to their
investment portfolios or sell them for
their current market value. In either
case, such gifts are advantageous to
both the college and the donor.

As this is being written, the new
tax reform legislation is still pending in

Washington. The outcome of this may
have an effect on the allowable deduc-
tion for gifts of appreciated securities,
but, in general, in making gifts of
securities, one should always use those
that have appreciated in value. There
are two reasons for this. First, the full
current market value is both the value
of the gift to the college, and to the
donor in determining the size of his
gift and his eligible tax deduction,
even though his original cost may have
been substantially less. Second, the
donor incurs no capital gains tax lia-
bility even though he gets a tax deduc-
tion for the full current market value
of the gift. (Unless this too, is changed
by the new legislation.)

Securities that have depreciated in
value should not be used for gifts. The
value of such a gift for tax purposes is
still its current market value. If a
donor has depreciated securities that
he wishes to dispose of in connection
with a gift, he should sell the secu-
rities, claim his tax loss, and use the
cash for the gift.

Now how does one go about mak-
ing a gift of securities? Depending on
the particular circumstances, there are
several things to consider.
1. If you have a certificate for the
exact number of shares you wish
to give: Simply endorse this over
to the college or the Association
(see information following on
how this is done) and deliver the
certificate to Worcester Tech,
either in person, by messenger,
or by mail.

Endorsement may be handled
in several ways:
a. You may complete the endorse-
ment to the college according to
the instructions below. If this is

done, certified mail is recom-
mended.

b. You may leave the certificate
blank and send a signed stock
power. If this is done, they
should be mailed separately.

c. You may sign the certificate in
blank. If this is done, registered
mail should be used.

2. If you wish to divide the number
of shares on the certificate you
have: It will be necessary for you
tp have this done through a
broker.

a. Inform your broker of the num-
ber of shares you wish to use for
your gift and the number you
wish to retain. Do not tell the
broker how to dispose of the
shares in the gift. Instruct him to
contact Worcester Polytechnic
Institute or the Alumni Associ-
ation immediately for directions
from the college regarding the
disposition of the securities to
be contributed. Notify the col-
lege of your gift and of the name
of the broker who is handling
the transfer. If this procedure is
not followed, there will be an
extended delay in establishing
the effective date of the gift
which may substantially alter
the amount of your tax deduc-
tion, and may, if the gift is made
near the end of the year, result
in the gift not being eligible for a
deduction in the year in which
you intended.*

b. Do not tell your broker to sell
securities and send the check to
Worcester Tech: If you do so,
you will be liable for a capital
gains tax on any appreciation
over your original cost.

THE JOURNAL

3. Proper Endorsement: Do not
personally endorse, or have a
broker transfer securities to
"Worcester Polytechnic Insti-
tute" or to "The WPI Alumni
Association." The investments
of both the college and the
Association are managed and
held in Trust by the Worcester
County National Bank. So that
the bank can keep the Trust
accounts separate from the
bank's own corporate accounts,
a nominee account called Morrill
& Co. has been set up. Morrill &
Co. is, therefore, an agency
name for the college and the
Association funds which are in-
vested in the Trust. All transfers
of securities should be to "Mor-
rill & Co." This will save the
college considerable time and
expense and will in no way
affect the eligibility of the gift
for a tax deduction.

4. If you wish, you may make a
gift of only the appreciated val-
ue of the securities over your
original cost by so notifying the
college. In such cases the trans-
fers are handled in the same
manner as above, and the college
will return to the donor a check
in the amount of his original
cost. The value of such a gift is
then the difference between the
current market value and the
original cost to the donor.

So much for the mechanics of
making a gift. Now if you have de-
cided to make a gift of securities, or if
during the past year you have made a
gift of securities, the next question
will be how you determine your tax
deduction. Remembering again that
the new tax legislation may alter the
amount of the gift that is eligible for
your deduction, there are several
things to consider in establishing the
value of the gift itself.

The college is frequently asked by
donors to inform them "how much
the school received from the sale of
their gift of securities so they can

figure their income tax deduction."
The following information is given as
an attempt to clarify this problem.

1 . The determination of the
amount of deduction for a chari-
table contribution is primarily
the responsibility of the donor,
but the recipient may help him
determine the deductible a-
mount.

2. WPI or the Alumni Association
does not always sell securities re-
ceived as gifts. Very often these
stocks or bonds are retained in
the investment portfolios.

3. The value of a gift of securities
as a charitable contribution for
tax purposes is the mean be-
tween the highest and lowest
quoted selling prices (or the bid
and asked prices for unlisted
securities) on the effective date
of the gift. The ultimate disposi-
tion of gifts of securities by the
donee has no bearing on the
donor's eligible deduction for
the gift.

4. The effective date of the gift is
determined by whichever one of
the following conditions applies:

a. If the certificate is mailed to
WPI or one of its representatives
(e.g., campaign solicitor, Trus-
tee, officer, etc.), the effective
date of the gift is the postmark
on the envelope from the donor.
This envelope will be returned to
the donor.

b. If the certificate is delivered
personally or by messenger to
WPI or one of its representatives
(same as above), the effective
date of the gift is the date of
receipt by WPI or its represent-
ative.

c. If the certificate is delivered to
a broker who subsequently be-
comes an agent of WPI, the
effective date of the gift is the
date the broker becomes an
agent of WPI.*

d. If the certificate is delivered to
a broker who continues to act as
agent for the donor, for transfer

to WPI, the effective date of the
gift is the date the transfer is
completed on the books of the
company. This is the date on the
face of the certificate. This
method will cause a delay of
several weeks in establishing the
effective date of the gift and
thus is not recommended. This
date must then be obtained from
the college. If the gift is made
near the end of the year, this
may then cause the effective
date of the gift to go into the
following year and lose its eligi-
bility for a tax deduction in the
year in which the donor in-
tended.*
Therefore, subject to the provisions
of any new tax legislation that may
alter the amount of the gift that may
be deducted, a donor of a gift of
securities may determine the amount
of his tax deduction by first, estab-
lishing the effective date of his gift;
second, consulting a listing of the
prices of the stock for that day; and
third, determining the mean between
the high and low prices listed. This is
the procedure followed in determining
the figure listed on the acknowledge-
ment of gifts of securities.

Naturally, there will always be
some cases that do not seem to fit
these procedures exactly. Either the
Alumni Office or the WPI Develop-
ment Office will always be pleased to
assist you if you have further ques-
tions. Please do not hesitate to call us.
The above information is also available
in a small folder titled Gifts of Securi-
ties. We will be happy to send you one
upon request.

•When gifts are made through a broker,
or other transfer agent, it should be noted
that the broker cannot become an agent of
Worcester Polytechnic Institute upon the
instructions of the donor alone. The donor
cannot deputize his broker to become the
agent of the college. Worcester Polytechnic
Institute must itself designate the broker to
act on its behalf. This should be done in
writing and before the donor transfers the
securities to his broker.

YOUR ALUMNI OFFICE

The Alumni Association wasformed
in 1873 by the first three classes to
serve the college by developing loyalty
among the alumni. It was incorporated
in 1891 under the laws of the State of
Massachusetts. The total membership
to date is 9,338.

The governing body of the Associa-
tion is the Alumni Council, which is
comprised of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Association and repre-
sentatives from each of the 26 organ-
ized chapters around the country. The
Alumni Office is located on the second
floor of Boynton Hall, and this is
where all alumni records are main-
tained and all Alumni Association
activities are coordinated.

The Alumni Office is composed
of three divisions: The Annual Alumni
Fund, WPI JOURNAL and Records.

THE OFFICE MANAGER
The Office Manager is responsible
for overseeing all of the office oper-
ations. She must keep operating proce-
dures current, and she is responsible
for the office being operated at
optimum efficiency. As the college
changes and alumni needs change, the
office procedures are reviewed and
changed accordingly. A yearly calen-
dar of activities and operations is
drawn up and followed as closely as
possible. In addition, the Office Man-
ager is responsible for all financial
reports and accounting and assists in
budget planning. She works closely
with the Alumni Secretary-Treasurer
and his Assistant in the yearly oper-
ations and acts as secretary in confi-
dential matters.

THE FUND SECRETARY
The Fund Secretary is responsible
for maintaining all records for each
Annual Alumni Fund. This includes
recording all gifts and pledges, sending
pledge reminders, and acknowledging
the receipt of gifts. She must also
provide for four mail solicitations and
the personal solicitation segment of
the Annual Fund which functions
from September to June 30. Several
types of reports are made up semi-
monthly carrying statistics of giving
within the chapters, classes, and show-
ing amounts of gifts and comparisons
to the previous year's giving. During
the personal solicitation phase of the
fund drive, reports are sent every two
weeks to the fund workers, and the
workers are also notified of alumni
giving of the alumni solicited.

THE MAGAZINE SECRETARY
Communication is a most impor-
tant phase of any alumni organization.
The WPI JOURNAL is published four
times a year and is sent to all alumni,
other colleges throughout the country,
and WPI campus personnel. It is also
available to students. The magazine
carries articles which are intended to
keep the alumni informed about cam-
pus activities. All articles, with the
exception of some feature articles, are
written by the staff.

cards for personal news, and notes and
letters from alumni. These are first
processed by the Records Secretary
for any address or business changes
and then given to the Magazine Secre-
tary for writing of classnotes.

We learn of deceased alumni not
only through our clipping service, but
also from mail returned by the post
office or communications from rela-
tives and friends (frequently alumni)
of the deceased. Short obituaries are
written, and several copies of the issue
containing the "In Memory" are sent
to the survivors.

Miss Nance C. Thompson

A major function of an alumni

Mrs. Helen J. Winter
Records Secretary

THE RECORDS SECRETARY
The office receives over 2,000 ad-
dress changes a year. Changes may
involve a complete change of chapter
affiliation and new business, while
others are changes within the chapter.
Various files are maintained on each
alumnus: by class, alphabetically, the
town in which he resides and works,
and also by the company where he is
employed. Chapter secretaries are peri-
odically notified of changes con-
cerning their chapter membership.

In addition to the three main divi-
sions, the office also serves many other
functions.

Well over 150,000 pieces of mail
are sent from the office annually. This
includes the Fund mailings, announce-
ments of class reunions and alumni
chapter meetings, the JOURNAL,
council announcements, and miscel-
laneous class letters. In addition, the
office prepares all of the copy for
Fund literature and Homecoming and
Reunion brochures.

In 1970 a special project will in-
volve the preparation of an alumni
register. This register, which is up-
dated, printed, and distributed peri-
odically, basically includes a geograph-
ical listing, an alphabetical listing, and
a class listing of all WPI alumni. The
class listing includes degree depart-
ments, and business and residence ad-
dresses. This operation has required
the addition of up to 12 part-time
people in the past, but this year for
the first time it will be prepared from
our computer records system. Each
alumnus will receive a copy of the
register.

Techni-Forum, the program spon-
sored by the Alumni Association
whereby High School guidance person-
nel are invited to the campus for one
and one-half days, primarily to see
what an engineering and science col-

lege is like and most particularly what
WPI is like, is entirely organized and
supported by the Association. This
program enables the guidance person-
nel to come in direct contact with
faculty and students and also to see
the WPI campus firsthand. Over the
years many guidance directors have
directed topnotch students to WPI as a
result of this program. There is a great
amount of time and effort involved in
making this program the success it is.
The office must help select the guid-
ance directors to be invited and must
utilize alumni to make personal con-
tact with them. All arrangements are
made here from planning an interest-
ing and informative program to mak-
ing travel and hotel reservations. A
number of records are maintained for
this program, including the schools
represented and guidance directors in
attendance, prospective schools and
guidance directors for future pro-
grams, and the geographic distribution
of those who have attended.

In the fall, the Alumni Association
sponsors the Annual Leadership Con-
ference. Alumni volunteers are invited
to this program on campus for discus-
sions and an exchange of ideas with
the faculty, students, administration,
and their fellow alumni. They reac-
quaint themselves with the campus
and learn what is expected of them as
alumni leaders. Both Techni-Forum
and the Leadership Conference include
panel sessions with faculty, students,
administration, and alumni.

Another major event of the year
which occurs in the fall is Home-
coming. Each year Homecoming re-
minders must be mailed to all of the
alumni and the activities must be
planned and coordinated for Home-
coming Saturday. This includes regis-
tration, the popular tailgate picnic and
barbeque, the judging of the fraternity
displays, and a social hour following
the football game.

Communication is maintained reg-
ularly with classes scheduled for re-
union, aiding them as much as they
require. Class reunion letters are
mailed from the Alumni Office

throughout the year and the general
Reunion held on the Saturday pre-
ceding commencement is arranged dur-
ing the spring. At each Reunion
luncheon the Robert H. Goddard
Award for professional achievement
and the Herbert F. Taylor award for
service to the Institute are presented
to alumni.

As mentioned earlier, it is the
responsibility of the office to com-
municate to the alumni the needs of
their college, and to communicate to
the college the alumni point of view.
This is done through the JOURNAL
and also through the 26 organized
alumni chapters. The chapters are the
grass roots of the Association and are
the source of its manpower. The chap-
ters hold from one to four meetings
per year. Many chapters request a
specific individual as a speaker, others
will ask for suggestions, but usually at
least one meeting every year is at-
tended by a speaker from the campus.
This year Dr. Hazzard will visit most
of the chapters. Because of changing
population patterns, the chapters are
constantly being realigned to maintain
the best possible communications and
operations.

In addition to chapter meetings, it
is planned to send a periodic news-
letter to all alumni chapter officers
keeping them abreast with the Insti-
tute and of what their Association is
doing.

Accurate record keeping is essential
and must be kept current. There are
times when the office is nearly over-
whelmed and the days are not long
enough. In addition to the records
mentioned earlier, there must be listed
all chapter officers, Association offi-
cers, committee members, and bio-
graphical data on each alumnus for the
Taylor and Goddard awards and
honorary degrees. The records kept
provide a great service to the Institute
as well as alumni. Hopefully, con-
verting to the computer will alleviate
many man hours spent on details of
record keeping, and time may be spent
to better advantage for the alumni and
the Institute.

21st ANNUAL TECHNI-FORUM

ATTENDED BY 22 SECONDARY

SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELORS

The Twenty-First Annual Tech-
ni-Forum was held on campus on
November 6 and 7. Attended by 22
secondary school guidance counselors
and administrators, this ever-popular
program sponsored by the Alumni
Association was extremely well re-
ceived by everyone. The goal for Tech-
ni-Forum as stated by President Haz-
zard in a letter to those attending was
"to bring together secondary school
and college educators for the discus-
sion of matters concerning both the
secondary school and the science and
engineering college and to afford an
opportunity.. .to examine our facil-
ities." Everyone agreed that this was
amply accomplished.

Bradford W. Ordway, '39, Chair-
man of the Techni-Forum Committee,
presided at the opening session in Olin
Hall and welcomed everyone to Tech-
ni-Forum. He then introduced Dean
M. Lawrence Price, '30, Vice President
of the college and Dean of the Fac-
ulty. Noting that the direction and
breadth of the total education pro-
gram at Tech has changed rapidly in
recent years, he stated that new
courses and degree programs, along
with the Worcester Consortium, now
allow Tech to attract a larger number
of students. He was careful to point
out, however, that the size of Tech is
not expected to increase beyond 2,000
undergraduates.

Following Dean Price was Dr. Allan
E. Parker, Professor of Physics and
Head of the Department, who ex-
plained the high school preparation
which is expected of each entering

freshman. He emphasized a firm back-
ground in english as well as physics,
chemistry, and math, and he spoke
briefly about the Physics Dept. The
distinction between a scientist and an
engineer was then explained by Dr.
Alvin H. Weiss, Associate Professor of
Chemical Engineering. He pointed out
that they overlap more than most
people realize and that today the
humanistic aspect of each is more
important than ever.

After a tour of Harrington Audi-
torium, the George C. Gordon Library,
and the Worcester Area College Com-
putation Center, Professors Higgin-
bottom, '25, Johnson, and Onorato
explained the major and minor pro-
grams of business, economics, human-
ities and technology, and the courses
associated with each.

At the noon luncheon in Morgan
Hall, Dr. Hazzard described what he
calls the "technological humanist," a
person who can not only cope with
the problems of science and engi-
neering, but also with humanistic or
social values. He spoke of our Two
Towers plan and the hope and desire
that we will be employing more of a
project orientation to our program of
studies in hopes of better educating
our students so they may better en-
counter today's — and tomorrow's —
problems.

After lunch, professors Van
Alstyne, Richardson, Schwieger, and
Zwiep discussed their respective de-
partments and programs. It was noted
that there is much interaction between
the departments of math, electrical

engineering, management engineering,
and mechanical engineering. This dis-
cussion was followed by a talk by
William F. Elliott, '66, Assistant Direc-
tor of Admissions, on the newly-inau-
gurated Admissions Counselors pro-
gram, whereby alumni visit students in
high schools. Edgar F. Heselbarth,
Director of Financial Aid, spoke on
the various types and amounts of
money available to students as aid, and
Kenneth A. Nourse, Associate Dean of
Student Affairs and Director of Ad-
missions, concluded the session by
speaking about WPI's general admis-
sions policies.

A panel of undergraduates, Miss
Lesley E. Small, '72, Leonard Poliz-
zotto, '70, and Paul E. Evans, 71,
then answered questions from the
guidance personnel in what was pos-
sibly the most popular program of the
day. Subjects of particular interest
were the advisor system, the ease of
transition from high school to college,
and why the students chose to attend
WPI.

The evening session consisted of
talks by Dean Martin C. Van de Visse,
Dean of Student Affairs, Merl M.
Norcross, Associate Professor of Physi-
cal Education and Athletics, and
Edward J. Geaney, Colonel, U.S.A.,
Professor of Military Science and Head
of the Department.

Friday's schedule began with talks
by Carl H. Koontz, Professor of Civil
Engineering and Head of the Depart-
ment, and Robert C. Plumb, Professor
of Chemistry and Head of the Depart-
ment. This was followed by a tour of

THE JOURNAL

Goddard Hall and Alden Research
Laboratories and a concluding lunch-
eon.

Those who attended, whether from
near or far, were impressed by the
quantity and quality of the proarams
and facilities which WPI has to offer.
They had gained a clear insight into
the distinction between science and
engineering, the flexibility of our pro-
grams, and the value of the Worcester
Consortium. But probably most im-
portant, they were impressed by the
hospitable, family atmosphere which is
so much a part of an education at
Tech.

A Faculty Viewpoint

by
ROGER R. BORDEN, MS '61

Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering

The older generation often asks:
"What is wrong with today's youth?"
After 17 years of teaching and coun-
seling, in post-secondary technical edu-
cation, I feel somewhat competent to
answer. Many, if not most, of the
young men and women in high school
and college this year are the finest,
most intelligent, most knowledgeable,
most mature, and most sensitive
youngsters this country has ever pro-
duced. They are rightfully concerned
and indignant about the state of affairs
in this nation and in the world at the
present time. They seem to have X-ray
insight into the economic, political,
and social problems that we now face.
They are fed up with pretense, hypoc-
risy, false premises, and expediency.

The world that we oldsters (anyone
25 or older) were born into has gone.
Accelerated technological growth and
the population explosion have created
startling contrasts in society. Air and
water pollution, haphazard waste dis-
posal, nuclear testing, the decaying
inner-city, ill-planned and uncon-
trolled residential and industrial ex-
pansion into the rural suburbs, the
rapidly increasing number of motor
vehicles, the growing inadequacy of
our highways and transportation
systems, economic inflation and in-
creasing foreign competition, demor-
alizing warfare, political expediency
and graft, individualism, and materi-
alism are examples of the questions
that need immediate answers if our
western civilization is to survive.

In the past twenty-five years we
have passed through the nuclear age
into the space age. We have walked on
the moon; flown by Mars and Venus;
created new electronic marvels; and
conquered many human diseases, but
we have made very little progress in

social science and the humanities. Col-
leges and secondary schools have em-
phasized science and technology at the
expense of the courses which em-
phasize human understanding and
values. Government, education, re-
ligion, and the other non-technical
aspects of our society have fallen
woefully behind in the race for supe-
riority in science and technology. We
are rapidly becoming masters of outer
space, but we have yet to really
explore man's inner space.

A large number of teenagers and
young adults are at odds with their
parents and other representatives of
the "establishment". They wear un-
usual clothes and eyeglasses that are
out of the style of the conservative,
contemporary fashion. The boys and
young men favor beards, mustaches,
and long hair. This group does not
want to be identified with the hypo-
critical older generation that merely
gives political lip service to human
values and ethics. They are also striv-
ing for identity in an expanding, im-
personal world where human beings
are fast becoming a number instead of
a name.

We should all remember, however,
that the younger generations in all eras
of our history have been distinguished
by their dress, taste in music, and
method of dancing. Have you for-
gotten the raccoon coat, the "zoot"-
suits, the "flappers", jazz, "boogie-
woogie", ragtime, "speakeasies",
bath-tub booze, etc.? "Let him who is
without sin among you cast the first
stone."

A generation gap most definitely
exists — particularly in the area of
communication. Most parents are con-
scientious enough to see that their
children are fed and clothed, but often

that is as far as their interest extends.
Teenagers with unanswered questions,
personal problems, and a fundamental
need to talk things over with their
elders are frequently shut out by their
fathers and mothers who cannot af-
ford time, for their children, from
their busy schedules. And then there is
the growing problem of broken homes
where there is a working mother or
where the children are brought up by
relatives.

Frustration and hopelessness are at
the root of vandalism, juvenile delin-
quency, alcoholism, the drug abuse
problem, and protest demonstrations.
An impersonal, materialistic society
with no apparent national purpose
creates the atmosphere for lawlessness
and despondency.

The time has come, according to
our youthful leaders, for the citizens
of the United States of America to
recognize their shortcomings and to
realize that you cannot solve the prob-
lems of the 1970's with puritanical or
mid-Victorian techniques — partic-
ularly when these methods only apply
to the other person. They say our
nation is at the last fork in the road.
Two paths are open to us. If we
continue the way we are going, we will
follow all previous empires into deca-
dence and oblivion, but if we come to
grips with our human natures, and
realize that we are capable of the kind
of human behavior that Jesus taught,
we still have a chance to retain truly
democratic world leadership.

The youth of today say, in con-
clusion, that if we are to have a future,
then all of our people and their organi-
zations have to be changed, partic-
ularly religion, Government, the
church, and society must be brought
up-to-date in order to cope with the
problems of the space age. The prin-
cipal change, they maintain, must be a
change in the human heart. "Love Thy
Neighbor", the Ten Commandments,
and the Sermon on the Mount must be
rediscovered and put to practical use.

In all honesty and objectivity, as
you observe our nation and the world
in 1970, don't you agree with them?

Undergraduate
Viewpoint

DOMENIC J. FORCELLA, JR., '70

President, WPI Inter- Fraternity Council

The fraternity system at WPI is
changing as rapidly as the school.
During the last five years, changes on
campus have produced, or at least
helped to produce, many changes in
the fraternities.

In the past, the WPI student was
almost entirely dependent on the fra-
ternity system to provide his social
life. This led to the complete involve-
ment of the students in fraternity life,
and campus life suffered. Now the
campus elects a social chairman and
has an active assembly committee, so
the fraternities no long'er have to
supply the students with the number
of activities they did in the past. The
idea of joining a fraternity because it's
the only way to have any social life is
obsolete. The fraternities continue to
supply a portion of the social life on
campus, but it is not as dominant a
factor when a student is considering
membership as it used to be.

The type of man joining a frater-
nity these days is also different. The
old stereotype beer-drinking, girl-
chasing fraternity man is gone. To-
day's member has more opportunities
than in the past to get involved in
activities. This leads to a new conflict

between the fraternity and the school,
and it results, I feel, in a drop in
school spirit.

Whenever a fraternity man does not
show up for a school function, the
fraternity is alleged to have stifled
school spirit. A person's likes or dis-
likes are not taken into consideration,
but rather the whole system is de-
nounced. What many people fail to
realize is that fraternities probably do
more to take the name of the school
to the public than any other school
organization. The community projects
carried on by the individual frater-
nities and by the Inter-Fraternity
Council as a whole reach a large and
diversified group of people. Yet these
men who indulge in tutoring, big
brother programs, aid to the under-
privileged, city beautification work,
hospital work, fund canvassing, and
similar projects are said to be stifling
WPI school spirit.

What the school community fails to
realize is that the majority of campus
leaders are the dorm counselors and
that these people tend to be a little
too idealistic. Most do not have a real
feel for the campus pulse, and they
cannot reach the fraternity man. Con-
sequently, they do the next easiest

thing and berate him. This sort of
misunderstanding tends to influence a
person to direct his efforts towards his
fraternity where he feels he will be
appreciated. In the future, I hope,
with the "do your own thing" atti-
tude, people will see that fraternities
do not influence a person to such a
degree as to keep him away from
campus life, but rather that each
individual is free to do as he pleases.

The fraternity is still an integral
part of college life today. Its assets
have been brought more to light now
that its social aspect is not a chief
selling feature. The fact is that a
fraternity is a cross-section of the
campus, made up of all types of
people and is not a stereotyped organi-
zation. Responsibility and leadership,
which it imparts to its members, are
probably its strongest assets.

With a membership of people look-
ing for more than social life, the
quality of fraternities is sure to im-
prove. Some of these signs have al-
ready been seen. When community
projects are completed, people don't
remember the fraternities, but rather
those "nice guys from WPI." The
school now runs social functions on
Saturday nights without worry of
fraternity competition.

As more and more of the social
program is assumed by the school, the
fraternities can expand their activities
and more readily adapt themselves to
the changing times and attitudes. As
the largest organizational body on
campus, the fraternities can tackle
large projects that even the Student
Government may not wish to take on.
The success and growth of the campus
will be determined when all the stu-
dent organizations realize that they are
all working towards the same goal —
the betterment of WPI.

tunity for such involvement must exist for the student in
his educational program. The educational institution must
be committed to recognizing the need for and providing
opportunity for such involvement with academic credit.

Whenever there is involvement of an educational institu-
tion with the outside world, the key to success is people.
The right people in the institution must deal with the
agency, or civic organization, or professional bureau head.
Although one does not have to agree with it, he simply has
to get along with the local power structure, and the
emphasis must be on the demonstrated ability of a
university person to be able to work with people. The usual
ivory-tower professor does not generally qualify. The need
is for people-oriented engineers, not engineering-oriented
people. This is one important obstacle to involvement.

Traditionally, when an educational institution looks at a
new problem, its first inclination is to research it. This is
particularly true in the technical areas. It is a needed
inclination, but it stands as an obstacle to involvement in
the sense that over-emphasis on the research effort prevents
involvement in the problem itself — a potentially much
more meaningful undertaking. The research, publication
reward system must be critically reviewed in this regard.
This bears directly on the recruitment of faculty and staff.
Commitment must be made (policy changes) to the end
that the problem solver is recruited in equal status with
instruction and research.

Unfortunately, there are compelling reasons why educa-
tional institutions are prone to point to research as an
important vehicle for their contribution to the solution of
problems associated with the urban crisis. Foundation
grants and government assistance have traditionally been
pointed in that direction. But for educational institutions
simply to cite such projects, most of which may have little
to do with real people and immediate human environmental
problems and to seek, in this fashion, to convince them-
selves and society that they are doing their share, may be
viewed quite properly in most cases, particularly in science
and engineering, as begging the question. The real question
is relevance to the problem today. Continuation of the
above outlook can be viewed only as evidence of ignorance
of what the problems are, and such ignorance provides little
hope for success in attacking the problems.

Another obstacle is often encountered in the classroom
itself. This is where students can begin to learn about real
problems, to develop the ideas and convictions necessary to
become urban problem solvers or simply good citizens.
Somewhat facetiously, it might be commented that course
structure, traditions, and curricula content teach students
more about the problems of medieval days than about
contemporary problems. Perhaps a real hard look needs to
be taken at the value of personal cultural growth through
certain humanities courses vs. that broadening outlook that

could be achieved through more emphasis on contemporary
social problem-oriented coursework.

Two fundamental issues are inherent in all this. One has
to do with instructional policy regarding urban problem
solving and the other with financial support. These are
inevitably linked to one another and must be the subject of
intense study.

CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDY PLAN FOR WPI

For almost two years, the faculty of civil engineering at
WPI has been involved in an intensive study of its
curriculum with a view to revision in keeping with the
philosophy, goals, and objectives described in preceding
sections of this paper. In the initial stages of this study, the
view was taken that, in education to meet properly the
challenges posed in modern engineering problems, civil
engineering practice and, consequently, civil engineering
education could, for an individual, take a variety of
directions and still be most meaningful insofar as the end
product was concerned. Civil engineering is what civil
engineers should be doing in this modern age. This latitude
implied from such a general definition of civil engineering
must, of course, be restricted from the point of view that
there are traditional areas that are generally accepted as the
province of the civil engineer. Fortunately, however, each
of these areas is sufficiently broad in scope to permit
distinct variations in traditional educational approaches
where such variations are justified from the point of view of
their potential value in contemporary problem solving.

First consideration was given to specification of the
minimum required civil engineering course content in the
undergraduate curriculum necessary to accomplish first
professional degree status at the B.S. level in four years.
This, in itself, was no easy undertaking and required
considerable study and soul searching. It is always difficult
to abandon traditional course offerings for a variety of
reasons. The key philosophy here was that the curriculum
should not be such as to provide something of everything
for everybody. It is always easy to take the easy route and
justify a course from the point of view that at some time
the student might be encountered with a problem situation
in a particular area and therefore must have some course-
work in it. It is just as easy to adopt a philosophy, although
it may at first be hard to realize, that most of the problems
faced professionally are problems for which coursework in
the formal educational process cannot be directly applied.
If the student should learn anything at all, it is to learn to
learn. That is the philosophy that should be imparted to
students and the most important effect that teaching
should produce. A properly constituted set of profes-
sionally and/or scientifically oriented formal courses can be
minimized to accomplish certain immediate purposes while,
at the same time, it prepares the student for continuing the
learning process after his first degree whether formally or as
a process of professional development.

THE JOURNAL

Since all WPI students are required to complete a
common first year of study, departmental control is
exercised only within the three upper-class years. Of the
total time available in those three years, the approximate
equivalent of a full year of study is devoted to Institute
requirements in the basic sciences and liberal studies. Thus,
departmental dominion is restricted to the equivalent of
two full years of academic work.

In the proposed civil engineering curriculum one year
equivalent of study is devoted to a series of twelve required
course study areas. The second equivalent full year of study
is elective. No course in the three upper class years,
required or elective, would be specifically listed in a
particular year or semester.

Prior to the beginning of the sophomore year, students
electing civil engineering would be individually assigned to
an advisory board of faculty. Each student, in consultation
with his board, would prepare a complete preliminary study
plan for the upper three years. Such plan would be oriented
to include all requirements and electives in the best order
necessary to meet the planned objectives and interests of
the student. The plan would be subject to change as the
desired objectives and interests of the student may change
for whatever reason.

The twelve required courses are designed to equip the
student with the necessary fundamental body of knowledge
underlying professional level studies in any area of the civil
engineering discipline. Topical content is selective and
integrated for immediate relevance. For example, statics
and strength of materials would be integrated in a two-
course sequence rather than as two separate courses. Such
integration would also apply to analysis and design and to
other suitable combinations of study areas. This would
occur horizontally from semester to semester in sequence
and vertically within any given semester. To the fullest
extent possible the program of a student in any semester
would be an integrated whole rather than a battery of
separate, disjointed courses.

The flexibility inherent with twelve elective courses
opens up all sorts of desirable avenues in the undergraduate
curriculum. Opportunity exists for some degree of tradi-
tional specialization even at the B.S. level. This is not
achieved at the expense of a well-balanced program, since
the required course content provides that. Specialization
must also be structured for many reasons, not the least of
which is the matter of course proliferation and attendant
adverse effects on the unit cost of education. Opportunity
also exists for generalization either within or without the
discipline or in various combinations. This provides for the
student who has interdisciplinary inclinations, or for one
who may simply wish to exercise an opportunity to shop
around until he has established his own goals and objec-
tives. Perhaps most significant is the opportunity to provide

parallel four and five year tracks. As early as the third year,
a student might elect to spend a fifth year in quest of an
M.S. degree. Such work could then be integrated through
all remaining years, and, followed to conclusion, would
result in the earning of an M.S. degree while still retaining
terminal B.S. possibilities at the end of four.

Batteries of elective courses in the subsystems of
transportation, environment, planning, and structures have
been proposed at such levels as to permit simultaneous
registration of advanced undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents. This would tend to alleviate the all important aspect
of adverse economy associated with small graduate classes.

The flexibility inherent in the new proposal affords
vastly increased opportunity for project work. The program
visualizes a continuation of what has been done before. For
example, in structural design courses students have pro-
duced and will continue to produce complete designs of
structural systems. Since flexibility now crosses all class
years through the M.S., such projects can be of greater
variety both in breadth and depth involving teams made up
of all classes. They can, furthermore, be integrated. For
example, a waste disposal system design can be integrated
with an urban plan which would include structural and
transportation systems, among others.

CONCLUSION

The new study plan proposed for civil engineering
students at WPI embodies substantial departures from
traditional concepts of engineering education. It is, how-
ever, only the beginning — a foundation which will permit
other innovative and imaginative educational ventures as
continued studies and experiences will, no doubt, indicate.

Apart from the educational advantages inherent in the
plan, there is the all important consideration that it has
been developed in complete conformance with the concepts
of the system of engineering practice and education that
has evolved naturally over many decades. This system has
produced remarkable successes and no failures. There are
unsolved problems. Failure is not in solution but is, in fact,
failure of inaction. The simple fact is that those who
operate and activate the system (not necessarily the
engineer) sometimes operate out of phase with societal
development. All that is required to solve most of the
problems is to operate the system in step with concentra-
tion of expertise and other resources diverted to new
directions.

The study plan for civil engineering inherently permits
educational concentration within the natural system in
conformance with current societal needs and with the
capability for instant reorientation as such needs change.
From this point of view, it is a model that depends for
success only on the ability of students and faculty to
recognize changing human values and adjust their directions
accordingly.

Boston. For the fall meeting, the Boston
Chapter invited the members of the North
Shore Chapter to hear Dr. George W. Haz-
zard speak on the latest developments on
the Hill. Over 50 alumni and wives turned
out on October 28th at the Pillar House in
Newton to greet Tech's new President. Dr.
Hazzard's address was followed by a lively
discussion of both future plans for WPI and
the trends in higher education in general.

Rochester-Genesee. Nineteen alumni and
wives attended our first fall meeting at the
new Flagship-Rochester Hotel on Monday,
October 20, 1 969. We were pleased to have
as our guests Dr. George W. Hazzard, Tech's
new President, accompanied by Mrs. Haz-
zard and Alumni Secretary Warren B. Zepp,
'42. After a satisfying dinner of roast beef,
Chaper President Bob Kostka, '63, intro-
duced Dr. Hazzard, who gave a most inform-
ative talk on the present status of Worcester
Tech and on future goals and direction of
growth. He mentioned expected problems
to be overcome in meeting the changing
requirements of the times while still retain-
ing its independent status as a small engi-
neering school. Following the meeting, we
all enjoyed talking informally with Dr.
Hazzard and with Mrs. Hazzard.
Respectfully,

Washington, D.C. The fall meeting of the
Washington, D.C. Chapter was held at Evans
Farm Inn, McLean, Virginia, on November
18, I969. It was our great pleasure to have
Tech's new President, Dr. George W. Haz-
zard, Mrs. Hazzard, and Prof. Warren B.
Zepp, '42, Alumni Secretary-Treasurer, as
our guests. The meeting was attended by
approximately 40 alumni and wives.

Dr. Hazzard was introduced by President
Dan Brosnihan, '62. Dr. Hazzard spoke on a
wide variety of interesting subjects, in-
cluding his impressions of Worcester, Plan-
ning Day, admissions, and admissions
counseling, to mention a few. The present
thinking on the Hill in regards to the
curriculum and the desired size of the
student body was also discussed.

Prof. Zepp briefly discussed the current
fund drive and admissions counseling.

Walter Bank, '46B, reported on the prog-
ress of admissions counseling efforts by the
chapter.

Dwight M. Cornell, '60

Connecticut Valley. On November 20,
1969, the chapter embarked on its 1969-70
season with a meeting at the Lord Jeffery
Inn in Amherst, Mass.

Chapter President Lou Stratton, '39,
signified his desire to move some of the
meetings to the fringe areas of the chapter
in order to draw participation from alumni
who would find the Springfield area imprac-
tical. This initial endeavor appeared to be
successful, since there were a number of
new faces among the thirty-four in attend-
ance.

Representing the "Hill" were Steve
Hebert, '66, Assistant Alumni Secretary,
and Mel Massucco, WPI's Head Football
Coach.

Steve spoke briefly, introducing himself
to the chapter, describing his new position
and the changes in the Alumni Office as
made possible by the advance of the com-
puter age.

Mel Massucco, principal speaker of the
evening, captured his audience with a very
interesting commentary on athletics and
physical fitness in general and football in
particular as it applies to WPI. Mel's com-
ment on recruiting possibilities left open to
him, i.e., a football player with the proper
S. A. T. scores, being in the upper third of
his class, and having a desire for an engi-
neering education, indicated to all present
that Mel continues the dedication of his
predecessors in the head coaching job at
WPI.

Pittsburgh. The fall Dinner Meeting of the
1969-70 season was held at the Sherwood
East, Center Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa., on
Wednesday, November 19, 1969. In addi-
tion to our special guests. Dr. and Mrs.
Hazzard, the newly inaugurated President of
WPI and his wife, and Warren B. Zepp, '42,
Alumni Secretary-Treasurer, 18 Pittsburgh
Chapter members and 1 1 wives attended the
meeting.

President Donald M. McNamara, '55,
called the business portion of the meeting to
order at 8:30 P.M. with a word of welcome
to members and guests. Secretary-Treasurer
Gedney B. Brown, '55, reported a balance
of S37.14 remaining in the treasury. He
announced that dues notices for the year
would be sent out in the next few weeks
and that anybody could pay their dues
(S2.00I in advance if they desired to do so.

He also distributed copies of the newly
revised 1969 Pittsburgh Chapter Directory
to those present and requested that he be
notified of any additions, corrections, or
deletions so that an addendum could be
issued sometime after the first of the year.

Warren Zepp briefly reviewed some of
the recent and current Alumni Association
activities, including the Techni-Forum and
the Alumni Association Master Plan Pro-
gram.

Following a word of welcome by Vice
President Arthur D. Tripp, Jr., '36, our
featured guest speaker. Dr. Hazzard, was
introduced by Dr. William E. Hanson, '32,
Chairman of the WPI Board of Trustees.

Dr. Hazzard began his talk with his
impression of the status at WPI through
stories of personal experiences on campus
and with the students. He concluded from
these stories that there was a "friendly spirit
and an enterprising attitude" present on
campus. He then went on to express his
feelings on where WPI was going in the
future which he felt reflected those of the
faculty, board of trustees, and students. He
indicated that WPI must maintain high
quality, and at the same time, remain small
with an estimated eventual enrollment of
2,000 students. He also stated that WPI
must provide diversification as well as qual-
ity. He felt that the Consortium for Higher
Education in Worcester permitted that
diversification while allowing the individu-
ality of the smaller schools to be retained.
He stated that the future graduate must be a
technological humanist, as many of the
problems of society are people limited, not
engineering limited. He then said that a
program must be developed at WPI to match
the present physical plant which implies a
roll in the process by the alumni. Alumni
participation, he felt, could be by helping to
bring new students, understanding and inter-
preting the program, and passing on ideas
about real life engineering and technical
behavior and studies. This latter assistance
could be in the form of case studies and
projects that could be performed by the
students. He also urged alumni financial aid
which he felt that, with the 5-10% operating
deficit at WPI, would be a large lever to a
quality education. He concluded that WPI's
quality, character, nature, and reputation
depend greatly on its students and its
alumni.

Dr. Hazzard received a standing ovation
from the members present, which I am sure
reflects the confidence and support the
alumni will have for him in carrying out his
work at Tech.

The meeting closed at approximately
930 P.M.

ENGINEERING INGENUITY .

key to industrial progress

Landing gear components on the C-5A military jet and
747 jumbo jet are more than twice the conventional size.
But Heald engineers, using experience and ingenuity,
designed the Heald Model 576 so that one man can pre-
cision grind these out-size parts easily.

The new 576 is one of the largest standard internals
ever built. This 57-ton grinder precision grinds holes up
to 65" in length and 24" in diameter. It also handles face
grinding operations on huge, awkward parts weighing as
much as 6,000 pounds and requiring swings up to 12 ft.

The 576 internal is already finding wide application
opportunities in the aerospace, ordnance and power
generating equipment industries.

For ingenuity in solving huge grinding problems, it pays
to come to Heald, where metalworking needs meet new
ideas.

Even at moderate speeds, on a wet highway, the
wheels of a car may not touch the road. They ride
up on a film of water like a surfboard on a wave.

This "hydroplaning" effect can send cars spin-

That's why Norton has developed the first
equipment designed expressly for "grooving" high-
ways and airport runways. A machine that cuts into
the surface to allow waterjp flow off. Thereby pro-
viding better traction,
safer stops and starts.

THE FUTURE OF

TWO TOWERS

PART IV:

A PLAN

Formed in December, 1968, to develop long-range goals
and plans for WPI during its second century of existence,
the Faculty Planning Committee has submitted four reports
to the WPI community since that date. The most recent of
these reports, The Future of Two Towers, Part IV: A Plan,
was presented on April 20, 1970, after many months of
hard and time-consuming work, not only by the Planning
Committee, but by a large number of volunteers from the
WPI Community.

In March, 1969, the Planning Group submitted its first
report which contained a preliminary schedule of the
planning operation, a partial analysis of the present status
of the college, and twelve possible objectives for the
college. The report emphasized that WPI should commit
itself to a single objective and establish effective quality
control procedures by June, 1970. In April, 1969, Planning
Day I was held, a day without classes which was devoted to
discussions about the future of the college. It was attended
by 10% of the student body and by 80% of the faculty.

In June, 1969, the Planning Committee, supported by
the activities of Planning Day I, completed a second report.
It contained a discussion of Planning Day I and a further
discussion of the twelve possible objectives for the college
as outlined in the original report. It paved the way for Two
Towers III: a Model, which was completed in October, 1969.

A key item which was necessary for the completion of
the Plan was the approval of an ultimate goal of the college.
This was presented and endorsed by the faculty in
December, 1969, and is the foundation of the entire plan.
It reads as follows: "It is the goal of the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute to bring into the second century of its
existence a new, dynamic version of its 'Two Towers'
tradition.

"By means of coordinated programs tailored to the
needs of the individual student, it is the fundamental
purpose of WPI to impart to the student an understanding

of a sector of science and technology and a mature
understanding of himself and the needs of the people
around him. The WPI student, from the beginning of his
undergraduate education, should demonstrate that he can
learn on his own, that he can translate his learning into
worthwhile action, and that he is thoroughly aware of the
interrelationships among basic knowledge, technological
advance, and human need. A WPI education should develop
in the student a strong degree of self-confidence, an
awareness of the community beyond himself, and an
intellectual restlessness that spurs him to continued
learning."

In formulating the plan, the Committee recognized the
need to find a balance between education and training and
that WPI should recognize the need for more of a
sociological orientation to its technically-oriented curricu-
lum. Thus the Committee concluded that "The temporal
nature of 'training' means that the training aspects of higher
education must lean much more heavily on the analysis of
problems than on how to do specific things."

The following are excerpts from the Plan:

Characteristics

The Plan for WPI is designed to meet the goal of the
college to impart to the individual student an understanding
of a sector of science and technology and a mature
understanding of himself and the needs of the people
around him.

It is structured so that the student himself would be
responsible and accountable for his life style and for his
becoming educated. The Plan requires that the student,
supported by excellent instruction and an effective advisory
system, demonstrate that he can learn on his own, that he
can translate learning into worthwhile action, and that he
has become aware of the interrelationships among basic
knowledge, technology, and human need.

THE JOURNAL

The Plan is flexible enough to accommodate the varying
backgrounds, needs, and maturities of students. With its
innovations and sound academic approach, it is a justifiable
and exciting undertaking for an independent college of
engineering and science. It would create a community
where both the student and the faculty member would find
about them a group of people enjoying learning and
attempting to solve some of the most difficult problems of
the time.

The Educational Program

Each student's academic program would consist of a
mixture of Independent-Studies/Projects, Studies, and
Study-Conferences selected to meet his individual goal and
the College's degree requirements. The Committee has
defined these three areas as follows:

a) Independent-Studies/Projects are a basic educational
tool of the college requiring individually motivated study of
a problem or sub-problem under the guidance of a staff
member or an advanced student. Emphasis would be placed
upon the student's learning what he needs to know to
contribute to the solution of the overall problem. The
investigation would culminate in a written report, possibly
accompanied by an oral presentation, or a piece of
equipment with a working manual.

b) Study refers to a basic element of instruction which
would involve, on the average, four class meetings and 13
hours of outside work for a total student commitment of
about 17 hours per week for one term. A term is defined as
a basic period of study which lasts seven weeks and includes
35 class days.

c) Study-conferences, on the other hand, are a basic
element of instruction which would involve, on the average,
three hours of lecture, 2.5 hours of Conference, and 11-12
hours of outside work, for a total student commitment of
about 17 hours per week for one term.

One of the most important aspects of the proposed
educational program is that each student, in conjunction
with his advisor, would structure his own program. Thus, in
a very literal and practical sense, each student's course of
study would be tailor-made for him, and he would have a
large part in the tailoring process. The average WPI student,
while concentrating in the scientific, technical, and socio-
logical areas, would benefit most by establishing a minor in
a humanities area to increase his personal perspective and
ability to make reasonable judgments.

The overall educational program would be conducted as
follows: Studies and the lecture portion of Study-
Conferences would be given to relatively large groups (but
less than 100 students) and would be formally scheduled.

The Conference portion of Study-Conferences, formally
scheduled, and IS/P's would be conducted in small groups,
providing for close personal contact between students and
faculty.

HE JOURNAL

Short "how-to-do-it" presentations would be available
on demand to aid in acquiring specific techniques as
needed.

The Intersession period of three weeks would be
devoted to concentrated presentations of specific topics.

Some students would undoubtedly wish to follow
programs similar to current departmental programs, and
they could so allot their time; but the allocation of effort
for traditional programs or for new combinations would
vary for the average, above average, or for the outstanding
student. Such a student-centered and flexible curriculum
should develop self-reliance and responsibility in the stu-
dent. This aspect, coupled with meaningful humanities and
project work, would enable the WPI graduate to make real
contributions to the society of which he becomes a part.

Undergraduate Degree Requirements

The Bachelor of Science degree from Worcester Poly-
technic Institute would be awarded upon completion of the
following:

1. A normal residence of 16 terms. Students with
exceptional backgrounds or who would have demonstrated
unusual accomplishments at WPI might, upon recommenda-
tion of the Council of Advisors, take their Comprehensive
Examination before the completion of the normal 16 terms
and receive their degree early if other requirements were
met. In any case, however, early examination would not be
recommended before completion of 8 units in residence.

2. Acceptable or Distinguished completion of a Com-
prehensive Examination in the major field of study. (Under
the Plan, the now-existent 4.0 grading system would be
abandoned and only the grades of Acceptable, Distin-
guished, or Unacceptable would be used).

3. Qualification in a minor field of study either by
Sufficiency Examination or by overall evaluation of two
units of work in the area. Students majoring in a scientific
or engineering field would normally fulfill the requirement
in a humanities area. Students majoring in a humanities area
would normally fulfill this requirement in a scientific or
engineering area.

4. At least two units established by Acceptable or
Distinguished work in an advanced level activity involving
Independent-Study or Project work. One of these units
would have to be in the student's major field. An activity
relating science or technology to society is recommended
for the second unit. Examinations may not be substituted
for this requirement.

Advisory Program

(One of the most discussed items concerning Part III: A
Model was the extremely significant role which advisors
would be required to carry. The Plan sees the advisor
system as follows:)

. . . To Develop

Long-range Goals

And Plans For WPI

It would be the responsibility of the advisor to assist his
advisees in defining their educational goals, and developing
with them academic programs directed toward achieving
those goals. The advisor would direct his advisees in their
preparation for the Comprehensive and Sufficiency Ex-
aminations and would ultimately certify that they were
ready for those examinations. Occasionally, he might have
to recommend to the Council of Advisors that one of his
advisees withdraw from the college.

The assignment of a faculty member to the role of
advisor must be based on his interest in students, the
diversity and depth of his knowledge, his commitment to
the academic program, and on a thorough analysis of the
way he could best contribute to the total educational
program. The advising, of course, should be recognized as
an integral part of the faculty member's teaching assign-
ment.

The advisor for each student would be assigned when
the student enrolls at WPI and the assignment would be
made by the Dean's Office.

An important point in the program is that the advisor
must gain an understanding of each of his advisees as soon
as possible, not only to make an initial determination of the
student's probable academic program, but also to be
sensitive to changes in the student's attitudes and interests
as he progresses.

Calendar

The Calendar recommended consists of four seven-week
terms; a three-week January intersession for a series of
special, intensive seminars; and an optional seven-week
summer term.

Each term would consist of 35 class days followed by a
recess of approximately five days. The first term would
begin early in September; two terms would be completed
before the Christmas recess of approximately two weeks;
and the fourth term would be completed before the end of
May. Three weeks would be provided throughout the year
for comprehensive evaluation and program review.

THE JOURNAL

Environmental Principles

A campus environment must be created to help the
student assume the role of an adult in a community. This
environment includes his total experience — his living,
social life, and day-to-day relations with staff, fellow
students, and Worcester community. The college would
encourage each student to make his own decisions and be
fully accountable for them and to develop and demonstrate
his many capabilities. The environment would provide a
congenial atmosphere for living, where the common campus
morality would be good manners, not a set of rules. To the
extent that the undergraduate population exceeds 1500, it
would become increasingly difficult to provide the kind of
environment needed.

Closer communication and interaction amongst stu-
dents, faculty, and administration is felt to be an area of
great importance if the college is to meet its stated goal.
Along these lines, the Plan recommends, among other
items, that dining is an important area of living and must be
re-evaluated, that the students need versatile forms of
housing, and that some form of campus center, which
would be a central meeting place for students and faculty
and administration, is urgently needed.

Graduate Studies

The graduate program should support the educational
goal of WPI and should complement the undergraduate
program. In considering the development of areas of
graduate research emphasis or support, the governing
criterion should be the relevance of the program to the goal
of the college and to the education of our students.
Programs that support this criterion should receive funding
priority.

Only those graduate areas that show strong promise of
significant self-support should be given Institute funding for
development. Such funding should be sufficient to provide
for realistic development, but it should be for a limited
time period.

For the immediate future a large portion of the energies
of the faculty should be devoted to implementing the
proposed undergraduate program. In the meantime the
present graduate program should be strengthened, but no
major change in this program should be attempted concur-
rently with the changes in the undergraduate program.

It is expected that as the undergraduate program gains
momentum, a multidisciplinary graduate interest and need
would evolve. This interest and need should be developed
into a graduate effort that meshes naturally with the
undergraduate program.

Organizational Concepts

Generally, the administrative structure of colleges or
universities is the responsibility of the boards of trustees
and presidents with their administrative officers. The

faculty should play an advisory role to insure that the
administrative structure promotes the educational goal of
the college. To this end, only those organizational concepts
considered important to the functioning of the plan are
considered.

The work of the present Dean of Faculty would be
divided into two parts under a Dean of Academic Resources
and a Dean of Program Operations. The two Deans would
report to an Academic Vice President.

The Dean of Academic Resources would direct the
faculty groupings, the library, the computation center, and
consoritium instruction. Chairmen of faculty groups would
report to the Dean of Academic Resources, would have
primary responsibility for the recruitment and development
of faculty, and should be appointed for renewable terms of
service with the advice and consent of the faculty con-
cerned. The faculty groupings must be flexible enough to
sustain capabilities in areas where perhaps only one person
with a particular disciplinary interest would be on campus.
The groupings should encourage meaningful faculty and
student interaction among engineer, science, humanities,
and social science fields.

The Dean of Program Operations would be responsible
for Study, Study-Conference, and Independent-Study/
Project operations. He would, in co-operation with the
Dean of Academic Resources, draw upon faculty from the
academic resource groupings as needed.

A graduate program should be incorporated within the
same organizational pattern. A co-ordinator of graduate
studies should be appointed to serve the special needs of
graduate efforts. He should report to the Dean of Program
Operations.

The organizational structure should be integrated with
the advisory system and with the faculty government
outlined in the Constitution of the WPI faculty.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A Suggested Calendar for

Implementation of the Plan

1970-71: An Implementation Committee, consultants,
and administration would develop complete plans for a
pilot program, including the administrative structure,
advisory procedures, allocation of faculty, generation of
on-campus and off-campus projects, and utilization of the
physical plant of WPI for both educational and living
purposes. Concurrently, all departments would undertake a
thorough study of the content of their course offerings in
order to design new courses to meet the educational
requirements of the new program.

1971-72: First year of pilot program. Some members of
the faculty would be involved on a full-time basis, others on
a part-time basis, working with approximately ten to fifteen
percent of the undergraduate student body, proportion-
ately distributed by classes, except for seniors.

HE JOURNAL

1972-73: Pilot program would be considerably enlarged
with the addition of a large portion of the entering class as
well as upperclass transfers from the regular program.
Approximately two-thirds of the faculty would be involved
at least part-time.

1973-74: All faculty would be involved to some extent.
Approximately two-thirds of the students would be under
the new program.

1974-75: All entering students and most upperclassmen
would be on the new program. Upperclassmen under
existing programs could continue until graduation but no
new students would be accepted under present graduation
requirements.

Recommendations

1. A Dean of Program Operations should be appointed
as soon as possible, and no later than September 1, 1970, to
direct the development of a pilot program.

2. Each department at WPI should begin a detailed
study of the content of its undergraduate program so that it
can design new courses meeting the requirements of the
Plan. This study should be completed no later than April 1,
1971.

3. WPI should seek the advice of consultants from
industry, government, and other colleges and universities in
the development of the pilot program.

4. WPI should appoint ten new faculty members,
selected particularly because of the contributions they
could make to the Plan as exemplified by their previous
experience.

5. Upon adoption of the Plan by the faculty, the
Admissions and Public Relations Offices should develop
detailed brochures regarding the new academic program of
the College and should embark upon an extensive campaign
to educate guidance directors and other school officials
regarding its operation.

Two Towers, Part IV: A Plan was presented to the
faculty and staff on April 20, 1970. Since that time, a series
of meetings and discussions have been held concerning the
Plan and it is the hope of the committee that some definite
decisions relative to the implementation of the Plan can be
reached by mid-May, 1970.

The Journal has only attempted to summarize some of
the important items contained in the Plan. (The original
length of the Plan was 123 pages). Additional and more
detailed information may be obtained by contacting the
college. Your comments concerning the Plan are welcomed.

We are a group of alumni and friends formed to assist WPI Athletics.

Our accomplishments to date have been:

Solid growth has been experienced— (membership has doubled itself each year— over

150 members now).

1st year - 1967-68 74 members 2nd year - 1968-69 150 members

OLAVI H. HALTTUNEN, '45,
NAMED WPI VICE PRESIDENT

Olavi H. Halttunen, '45, has ac-
cepted the recently created position of
Vice President for University Re-
lations. The new position is the top
supervisory position in the areas of
public and press relations, college de-
velopment, fund raising, and the cor-
porate associates program.

Prior to coming to WPI, Olle had
been Vice President for Marketing at
Jamesbury Corp., Worcester, and be-
fore that he was Director of Marketing
at Cornell-Dubilier Electronics, a sub-
sidiary of Federal Pacific Electric Co.,
in Newark, N. J. Most of his business
experience, however, has been with
General Electric Co., which he served
in several marketing and management
capacities throughout the country.

Mr. Halttunen attended Colby Col-
lege before enrolling at WPI. His
education was interrupted by three
years service in the Navy during World
War II, including duty in the South

Mr. Halttunen, '45

Pacific. He returned to WPI and was
graduated with a bachelor of science
degree in mechanical engineering.

In a statement announcing Mr.
Halttunen's appointment, Dr. Hazzard
said: "The tremendous financial pres-
sures on private colleges offering
quality education require the greatest
possible efforts in locating support.
Because of the unusual possibilities for
contribution to modern society by our
technologically educated graduates, we
need creative new approaches to assure
such support at WPI. The addition of
Mr. Halttunen with his outstanding
technical marketing experience will
greatly strengthen our efforts in this
area."

PROFESSOR GROGAN, '46,
NAMED DEAN

Prof. William R. Grogan, '46, has
been appointed to the newly-created
post of Dean for Undergraduate Pro-
grams at Worcester Polytechnic Insti-
tute.

In his new post, Prof. Grogan will
be responsible for the undergraduate
curriculum and curricular program
planning, summer school, and coordi-
nation of academic matters with the
Worcester Consortium for Higher
Education. He will continue to hold
the rank of professor of electrical
engineering when he begins his new
duties on July 1 .

In announcing the appointment,
President George W. Hazzard said,
"The planning, adoption, implementa-
tion, and management of under-
graduate programs necessary for the
fulfillment of our future educational
goals will require a much greater effort
than has been needed in the past. Prof.
Grogan's service as chairman of the

faculty curriculum study committee
and other activities in this area have
been indicative of the special skills he
brings to this important new post."

Prof. Grogan was graduated from
WPI in 1946 and received his master's
degree in 1949. He has been a member
of the WPI faculty since 1946 and was
promoted to full professor in 1962. He
was the recipient of the 1969 Faculty
Award, given annually for distin-
guished service and for distinguished
excellence in teaching.

A graduate of Boston University,
Mr. Keskula has a broad background in
the personnel field. Immediately prior
to joining WPI, he was manager of
personnel and executive assistant to
the president at Ty-Core, Inc., of
Nashua, N.H. Prior to that he was
associated with Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and the Mitre Corp. in
placement and personnel capacities
along with spending three years in
inventory control, purchasing, and per-
sonnel work at Reid-Meredith, Inc., of
Lawrence, Mass.

GLEE CLUB TOUR A SUCCESS

The WPI Glee Club completed a
tour during the week of March 30
which was termed a huge success by all
involved. Under the direction of Prof.
Louis Curran, the group made seven
concert appearances in three cities in
four days. Cities included on the tour
were Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and
Albany.

Arrangements for the various con-
certs were made by the local alumni
chapter presidents and included setting
up an evening concert for WPI alumni

and the public, plus an appearance at
an assembly program in a local high
school. In addition, a concert was
presented at the General Electric Co.'s
Research and Development Center in
Schenectady, N.Y., arranged by Albert
M. Demont, '31, and the group was
given a tour of the facilities following
the concert.

Although the evening concerts
were presented to relatively small
audiences, the Glee Club was ex-
tremely well received. Most alumni
were impressed by the fine perform-
ance by the group and expressed satis-
faction that the group was able to
undertake a tour and to do so in such
a professional manner.

TUITION INCREASES

As previously announced, tuition
will be increased S300 in September,
1970, to a total of S2.400 annually.
Faced with the rising costs of educa-
tion, the increase places WPI at about
the same tuition level as other private,
technically-oriented colleges in the
east.

In addition to tuition costs, an
entering freshman in the fall of 1970
can expect to have the following ex-
penses: board ($580); room ($375);
books and supplies ($130); social fee
($20); accident and health insurance
($35); and a room damage deposit
($25). Although the room cost listed is
only an average and can vary from
$325 to $600, the average freshman in
the fall of 1970 can expect to have
expenses of $3,665, exclusive of such
items as travel, clothing, laundry,
linen, and entertainment.

COMPUTER CENTER
RECEIVES GRANT

WPI recently received a grant of
$220,000 from the National Science
Foundation to support the Worcester
Area College Computation Center
which is located in Gordon Library.
According to Norman E. Sondak,
Director of the center, the grant will
be used to pay salaries of personnel
employed at the center. Presently, the
center employs nine persons full-time,
of whom five are professionals. No
new personnel will be hired with the
grant.

The center is used by about 15
colleges in the area and is used for
computer science education, research
in many areas, and by participating
college administrations. The center
supports engineering and scientific
courses at WPI and other colleges as
well as courses such as sociology,
psychology, and geography at Clark.
WPI and Clark are the major users of
the center.

The center serves all the colleges
participating in the Worcester Con-
sortium for Higher Education, al-
though it is not actually a part of the
Consortium. Participating colleges
from the greater Worcester area are
Assumption, Anna Maria, Holy Cross,
Worcester State, Becker Junior, Leices-
ter Junior, Quinsigamond Community,
Worcester Junior, Clark, and WPI.

PUB IS SUCCESSFUL

The Pub, located in the basement
of Sanford Riley Hall, is now in its
second full year of operation and has
enjoyed a successful year. Formally
created two years ago to promote
closer communication between stu-
dents and faculty on a social level, the
Pub has a license to sell beer and wine.
Memberships are available to any
member of the WPI community 21
years of age or older.

The Pub currently has about 250
members with many of these being
graduate students and faculty mem-
bers. It is student-operated with two
seniors. Randy Sablich of Seaford,
N.Y., and Jim Bagaglio of Milford,
Mass., managing it this year with Dean
William F. Trask as their advisor. It is
open only on Wednesday evenings and
Friday afternoons.

BROAD RESIGNS

Frederick L. Broad, Jr., Director
of Development at WPI since 1963,
has accepted a position as Director of
the Department of Public Information
at Old Sturbridge Village in Stur-
bridge, Mass.

While at WPI, Mr. Broad was re-
sponsible for capital giving, deferred
giving, foundation grants, and other
methods of fund raising for the col-
lege. He supervised the successful
Centennial Fund campaign from
1964-67 which resulted in contribu-
tions to WPI of over $15 million.

According to an announcement
from Old Sturbridge Village, the De-
partment of Public Information is a
new department, formed to better
inform members and friends of the
Village and the general public about
the complete program and wide range

of activities and resources of the Vil-
lage. Old Sturbridge Village is nation-
ally known as a museum of early New
England life and for its unique ex-
hibits, but its function as an educa-
tional institution with the extensive
programs and resources that this
involves is not generally realized, and
Mr. Broad will be responsible for
promoting this educational area.

ALDEN RESEARCH
LABORATORIES

by
LAWRENCE C. NEALE, '40

Director, Alden Research Laboratories

Editor's Note: In 1894, Prof.
George I. Alden, then head of the
Mechanical Engineering Dept. of
Worcester Polytechnic Institute,
foresaw a need for research in hy-
draulics and fluid mechanics. He
selected a 240-acre site in Hoi den on a
power privilege which had flowage
rights to a 1 50-acre pond. Through his
efforts, the site was given to the
Institute and a laboratory constructed.

The laboratory was formally named
the Alden Hydraulic Laboratory in
1915 when George Alden financed a
meter station. Through gifts or grants
from his trust fund after his death,
additions to the facility were made in
1925, 1930, 1936, and 1937. Further
generosity from his trust fund made
possible the construction of the
present main building in 1968.

The Alden Research Laboratories
are operated as a separate research
facility of WPI. Presently, its efforts
are divided into four main work areas.
The facility must first provide research
facilities and instruction for graduate
and undergraduate students studying
at WPI. Second, the Laboratory
provides services to industry in the
area of flow calibration or flow studies
of numerous devices used in pipe lines
ranging in size from a fraction of an
inch in diameter to 48 inches in
diameter. The third area is concerned
with naval ballistic studies associated
with water entry, water exit or under-
water studies.

Finally, the Laboratory has ac-
quired a national and an international
reputation in the area of model studies
of rivers, dams, spillways, intakes.

Alden Research Laboratories Director Lawrence C. Neale, '40. discusses a project with
Gordon T. Curney, '41, a member of the Alden staff.

pumps, etc. In addition to a pump test
facility, there are currently 30 models
in existence or under construction at
the Laboratory. Of these models ten
are in the area of flow through struc-
tures, eight for pump storage projects,
ten for heat rejection studies, and two
miscellaneous studies.

In addition to the model studies,
members of the staff are active par-
ticipants on numerous national and
international committees dealing in
areas of fluid mechanics. This, in
addition to consulting on numerous
full-scale projects, helps the Laborato-
ry staff stay abreast of current work in
its field.

The following article by Prof. Neale
explains some of the current areas of
effort at the Laboratory.

The Alden Research Laboratories
continue to develop in a number of
areas that are of interest to many of
our alumni and friends. In the instruc-
tional program, the staff is par-
ticipating in a number of the new
courses which are developing on the
main campus. At least one staff mem-
ber (Albert G. Ferron, '57) is par-
ticipating in ES 102, the "Introduc-
tion to Science and Engineering" for
freshmen, which has been extremely
successful. Another member (Prof.
Clifford H. Lantz) has been one of two
faculty members responsible for the
CM III "Environmental Engineering"
course for freshmen. In addition, a
new graduate course in Open Channel
Flow is now being offered on a regular
basis by a staff member (Prof. Peter A.
Larsen). The usual courses of Elemen-
tary Fluid Mechanics, Power Plant
Design, and Hydraulic Transients con-
tinue to be offered. With the availabili-
ty of the new building at Alden, the
laboratory experimental equipment
for the undergraduate courses is gradu-
ally being updated and moved into the
new experimental wing. The transfer
to the new building of some student
experiments is being developed to give
the students the "feel" of the new
building.

The space in what was our main
building and is now our number 2
building is being utilized for other
work, such as a graduate thesis in the
old student laboratory. In connection
with the old building, it should be
noted that the 50,000-pound weighing
tank scales are calibrated every six
months, and on the basis of these
calibrations, they continue to perform
as a high precision instrument after 94
years of service. The flow capability
has been increased with the addition
of two centrifugal pumps so that
maximum flow is now 22 cubic feet
per second, a large increase over our
early capabilities. Thus, it is apparent
that building number 2 is being used at
equally as high a level as at any time in
its history.

In the new experimental wing of
building number 1, a 100,000-pound
weigh tank has now been put in
service. This has been a major effort of
all hands with special credit to Prof.
Leslie J. Hooper, '24, Prof. Hobart H.
Newell, '18, and Mr. Alden T. Roys,
'40. The "shakedown" exercise is still
going on but two complete
calibrations have been carried out, and
the excellent results on these initial
runs predict a fine caliber of work in
the future. Another project set up at
present in the experimental wing of
the new building is an example of the
expanding interest of Alden Research
Laboratories. A full-scale mock-up of
the reactor cavity on an 880 MW unit
is being studied to determine the
cooling air flow distribution between
the concrete and the insulating panels.
The construction and testing on this
experiment is being handled by Mr.
Gordon T. Gurney, '41, a recent
addition to the Alden staff. The flow
measurement facilities are being uti-
lized to the fullest extent possible by
industry for both flow meter develop-
ment and control and regulation
studies for valve manufacturers.

A major portion of the Alden
research effort is being directed to-
ward service to the power industry and
the research needs involved with the
expanding installed capacity. Two

. with a
national
and

international
reputation

main areas of interest, pumped storage
and thermal pollution, are apparent
from a review of our projects. The
vital concern over heat dissipation
from thermal electric plants has result-
ed in a number of river model-type
studies being conducted. Over the past
17 years there have been 23 of these
studies conducted for various power
producers. At present there are five
active studies being conducted at
ARL. These are the Calvert Cliffs
Nuclear Plant on Chesapeake Bay for
the Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.;
the Indian Point Nuclear Plant on the
Hudson River for the Consolidated
Edison Co. of New York; the Peach
Bottom Nuclear Plant on the Susque-
hanna River for the Philadelphia Elec-
tric Co.; the Fitzpatrick Nuclear Sta-
tion on Lake Ontario for the Power
Authority of the State of New York;
and the Chalk Point Plant on the
Patuxent River for the Potomac Elec-
tric Power Co. In each of these studies,
the basic goal is to minimize the effect
of the heated condenser water dis-
charge on the receiving body of water.
The ARL part in this effort is to
define the flow patterns of the warm
water being discharged to develop data
in a form to allow decisions by the
ecologist, on the biological effects, and
by the design/operating engineer, on
the performance. In developing a test
program to satisfy our goals, the type

of structures involved, the modes of
operation of the plant, the receiving
body conditions, and other pertinent
aspects are all integrated into the
model. Thus, comparisons of plant
operations, structural modifications,
and other pertinent parameters can be
made.

In terms of size and scope, these
models are of interest. In order to
model 34 miles of Chesapeake Bay at a
scale of 1/1000, the Calvert Cliffs
model is over 200 feet long and
averages 60 feet in width. Controls at
three boundaries of the model provide
the correct tidal flow variation and
water surface change automatically
and continuously. It should be pointed
out that the time scale is such that a
12Y2 hour tide cycle is reproduced in
7 1 /2 minutes. Also, in terms of scaling,

the temperature variations are mod-
eled at 1 to 1, which means that a 1 °
F. change in the field is reproduced by
a 1° F. change in the model. These
tidal models are basically self-con-
tained, in that a sump is provided and
tidal-river flows are pumped from the
sump to provide the correct tidal
flows. The sump affords the possibility
to maintain any required river or
estuary temperature such as winter
condition of 32° F. or a summer
temperature near 90° F.

In terms of data retrieval, the later
models provide some interesting
changes from earlier installations. In
the Indian Point model a data retrieval
system is installed for 300 individual
temperatures. The system is able to
survey these 300 points in 15 seconds
total. The data is printed on paper

tape and simultaneously digitalizes the
data and records it on magnetic tape.
The tape can, in turn, be used in
computer techniques and permits data
reduction as well as computer con-
trolled plots of the data.

Pumped storage is another interest-
ing new aspect of the Alden Research
Laboratory modeling task. The model
study is usually concerned with the
flow patterns in the upper reservoir
and the possible formation of vortex
flow in the immediate vicinity of the
intake structure. A case in point is the
model of the newly-announced Bear
Swamp development on the Deerfield
River in Massachusetts. The entire
upper reservoir has been modeled at
ARL to a scale of 1/50 to study the
intake. In addition to studies to elimi-
nate vortex flow, assurance must be

THE JOURNAL

developed that no large blocks of ice
can be withdrawn from the reservoir.
The entire reservoir is modeled, since
early studies have shown that the
patterns of flow developed in the
reservoir are critical to the accurate
modeling of flow near the intake.
Other areas of study on this model
include head loss and rock trap prob-
lems.

In still another area the pump test
facility is now fully operative with two
loops available under the supervision
of Mr. Frazier P. Colon, MS '68. One
loop is a 40 HP constant speed stand
for centrifugal pumps. This loop is
designed basically for developmental
type studies and incorporates a cradled

drive, a calibrated venturi meter, and
associated speed and head measure-
ment equipment, all arranged to take
advantage of a concrete sump 40' x 5'
x 8' in volume.

The second loop is a 100 HP
variable speed installation for vertical-
type pumps. The loop incorporates a
calibrated venturi meter and basic
water columns for head measurement.
A diesel-driven DC generator provides
power to the variable speed DC drive.
Model pumps with as much as a 12"
diameter have been tested in this loop.
This facility is set up entirely in
building number 6, which also is ar-
ranged to test pump well intakes and
similar structures.

A series of tests have been conduct-
ed this past winter on a 40 HP gear
drive for a water treatment system. An
interesting aspect of the tests has been
the use on a sponsored project of an
Alden Dynamometer for the first time
in over 30 years. The dynamometer
has performed so well that the client
has indicated an interest to purchase
such a unit.

These are some of the highlights of
the present activities at Alden Re-
search Laboratories. The Laboratories
are open for visitation and inspection
and a visit will certainly provide a
more complete picture of the current
status of our instructional and research
activities.

1964. He then was a senior demonstra-
tor at Durham University in England
for a year before he joined the staff at
WPI in 1965 as an assistant professor.

THE GASSER"

ENTERS RACE

WPI will be well represented when
the second running of the Great Elec-
tric Car Race begins on August 19.
About 60 WPI students, ranging from
freshmen to graduate students, are
involved in designing and producing
six different minimum pollution auto-
mobiles for entry in the race.

The entire concept for a minimum
pollution auto race began in 1968
when MIT and Cal Tech held an
electric car challenge race. This year
the same two schools decided to ex-
pand their race and invited entries
from engineering students at other
colleges in North America. At present,
about 40 entries are expected. The
race will run from Cambridge, Mass.,
to Pasadena, Calif.

The only design requirements are
that the vehicles produce less pollution
than the amount allowed by the State
of California motor vehicle code which
will go into effect in 1975. Entry
requirements dictate that each entry
must meet local requirements for
vehicle registration, that certain design
and performance tests must be passed
before the cross country drive begins,
and that each vehicle must be driven
by a team of two registered college
students.

The response to the project and
challenge at WPI has been overwhelm-
ing. According to Roger R. Borden,
MS '61, Professor of Mechanical Engi-
neering and faculty advisor for the
project, "When I first mentioned the
project, I expected that there would
be several students who would want to
develop an entry. I was hardly pre-
pared to find 60 men who would come
up with six different designs. However,
each team has come up with plans
which are technically sound and quite
practical as prototypes of new types of
automotive power."

Planned entries from WPI include a
reciprocating steam engine car, a steam
turbine car, a gas turbine car, a natural
gas car, a modified "conventional"
engine car, and a hybrid-electric car.
All of the entries are being adapted
from conventional automobiles with
only the necessary changes in the
power plant and power train being
made. Donation of automobiles has
been made by at least one local auto
dealer and support in terms of finances
and/or parts has come from a wide
range of sources. The Ford Motor
Company and Mobil Oil Company, for
example, are jointly sponsoring one
entry, while Saab is sponsoring an-
other entry.

"These men have already received
considerable help and encouragement
in the form of donated or loaned
pieces of equipment," said Prof. Bor-
den. "Other firms are providing equip-
ment at cost. They'll also need funds

for operating and living expenses as
the entries drive across the country in
August. We've already had several
offers of support from people who
want to back a winner.

"I feel this is really a pilot pilot
program for the Two Tower III pro-
gram," Prof. Borden continued. "If
the program is adopted this spring,
there will probably be a pilot program
with the project approach. The stu-
dents involved in this project have
worked under an advisor relationship,
have sought outside help on their own,
and have sought successfully assistance
from other departments on the Hill.
It's been a real learning procedure for
all involved," he enthused.

And with the enthusiasm evident
on the part of the students involved, as
well as Prof. Borden, the prospect of
the winner representing WPI would
appear to be a distinct possibility.

"The Gasser,"a natural gas powered car. is readied for display.

Basketball

Happiness is a winning season, and
this is what Coach Jim Herrion's first
WPI team achieved. Coming up with
strong team efforts during the last half
of the season, the team won its last
four games and six of its last seven to
finish with a record of 1 1-10, the first
winning season in basketball in 11
years.

After starting the season quite
strongly, the Engineers slumped about
mid-season and, at one point, had a
record of 5-9. Included in this were
sound defeats at the hands of Boston
University, 80-66, and Springfield Col-
lege, 112-73. But at this point the
hoopsters appeared to reach maturity
as a team and went on to finish the
season in an impressive style.

After the Springfield massacre, the
team bounced back to defeat Bates
73-58. It was a solid team effort with
excellent rebounding and a strong
zone and zone trap press forcing nu-
merous Bates turn-overs. The hoop-
sters then went on to defeat Trinity
before suffering a minor setback in
their quest for a winning season, losing
to Colby.

Against a weak Coast Guard team,
the Engineers upped their record to
8-10 with a 76-51 victory, and talk
suddenly centered around a winning
season. Against Coast Guard, it was
once again a team effort with four
players scoring in double figures, led
by junior co-captain Tim Rooney, '71,
of Ludlow, Mass., with 17 points.
Scoring an overwhelming victory over
Suffolk University, 98-69, the Engi-
neers upped their record to 9-10 and
the possibility of a winning season
appeared to center around the game
with cross-town rival, Clark.

The Clark game was everything it
had been built up to be. It was a

double overtime thriller with the score
tied at 69-69 and 77-77 before reserve
forward John O'Brien, '72, of Charles-
town, Mass., canned an underhand
layup with time running out to defeat
Clark, 87-85. Sophomore center, 6'4"
Jimmy Henderson, '72, of New Haven,
Conn., was outstanding. He grabbed
off 22 rebounds and was 9 for 1 1 from
the floor, winding up with 20 points
for the night.

Before a large and spirited crowd,
the Herrion-men ended the season by
defeating Brandeis University, 82-58,

and thus won their fourth game in a
row and finished the season with a
winning record.

Coach Herrion did an outstanding
job of building a winner in his first
year as head coach. Not only did he
produce a winning record, but he won
six of his last seven games with an
impressive display of team effort and
desire. And the outlook for next year
appears to be bright. Only one mem-
ber of the squad graduates (Ollie
Briggs of Rutland, Mass.), and it ap-
peared as the season progressed that
the freshman team might produce a
few stars for the future. Freshmen
with good talent included Bill lerardi
of Hamden, Conn.; John MacDougall
of Hopedale, Mass.; and Bob Zawada
of Thompsonville, Conn.

Jim Henderson, '72, goes high to grab another rebound against Colby.

Wrestling

The wrestling team, coached by
John Vino, finished their season with a
record of five wins and five' losses.
After getting off to a slow start, losing
two of their first three matches, the
matmen came on strong to finish with
a .500 record.

Outstanding all season long was
co-captain Lenny Polizzotto, '70, of
Westbury, N.Y., who finished the dual
meet season undefeated, wrestling at
134 lbs. His varsity record at WPI was
an amazing 35-4-1, and he scored a
school record of 121 points during his
career to break the record of 103
points held by Peter Grosch, '69. In
the New Englands this year, Lenny,
hampered by an injury, finished fourth
in the 134-lb. weight class, a disap-
pointment after finishing second in
that weight division the previous year.

Early in February, the matmen
defeated Tufts University by a score of
28-20 to bring their record to 3-2. This
victory also brought them an eighth-
place ranking in the New England
wrestling conference. In their next
match they brought their record to 4-2
as they destroyed cross-town rival
Holy Cross, 43-3. The only points
scored by Holy Cross came when
heavyweight Art Geetersloh, '72, of
Avon, Conn., lost a 3-2 decision.

The next two matches proved to
be disappointments as the wrestlers
dropped two heartbreakers to the Uni-
versity of Hartford by a score of 24-20
and to Brown University by an even
closer score, 21-19.

The grapplers then lost to the
University of Massachusetts, suffering
their worst defeat of the season as
they were buried 41-5. The only win-

Ned Cunningham, '71, lays in two against Brandeis as John O'Brien, '72, looks on.

ner for WPI was all-star Lenny Poliz-
zotto, who pinned his opponent. The
matmen finished their season and
evened their record at 5-5 as they
defeated Ivy League foe Dartmouth,
26-16.

At the New England Tournament
held at Springfield College, the team
placed 11th in a field of 28. In this
meet a fine performance in the 167-lb.
weight class was turned in by sopho-
more Jeff Petry, Greenlawn, N.Y.

"Last November I wasn't quite
sure what kind of a team we would
shape into, particularly after gradu-
ating five strong seniors who had
scored a lot of points," commented
Coach Vino. "The men worked hard
to finish with a 5-5 record."

Gone next year, among others, will
be record-setting Lenny Polizzotto. A
strong array of young talent, however,
will be returning. Included in this
group are sophomores Jeff Petry, who
had a 7-3 record this past season, and
Ken Kolkebeck of Westbury, N.Y.,
who had a 5-5 record, along with
junior Greg Dickson of Gouverneur,
N.Y., who finished with a 6-4 record.
This nucleus, plus a strong freshman
group, give Coach Vino a bright out-
look for next season.

Hockey

The WPI hockey team also had a
successful year as they gained the
play-offs in the Worcester City College
Hockey League for the first time in
five years.

Led by high-scoring sophomore "J.
C." Tremblay of Waterville, Me., and
defensemen Jim Risotti, a freshman
from Marlborough, Mass., and junior
co-captain Bob Johnson of W. Boyl-
ston, Mass., along with outstanding
goal-tender George Gamache, the team
used strong teamwork to gain their
play-off berth.

The team entered the play-offs
seeded fourth and finished in exactly
that position, losing to both Holy
Cross and Worcester State.

THE JOURNAL

Swimming

The 1969-70 swimming team
scored more victories than any other
swim team in the history of WPI as
they finished the season with a record
of 6-2. They also scored a most
impressive victory over Northeastern
in a "practice" meet, to make Coach
Carl Peterson's second season at WPI a
memorable one.

After opening the season with two
impressive victories, the mermen ran
into an extremely strong Tufts Univer-
sity team and lost in a meet that was
decided in the final event of the day,
54-41. The team bounced back, how-
ever, and easily defeated Babson as the
free-style relay team broke the Babson
pool record and, according to Coach
Peterson, sophomore Randy Partridge
of Braintree, Mass., had his best day
ever in the diving event.

The swimmers lost their second
and final meet of the year in their next
outing as an outstanding Coast Guard
team defeated them in a heartbreaker,
48-47. Senior co-captain Roger John-
son of Hamden, Conn., was out-
standing in defeat as he broke his own

WPI record in the 200-yd. backstroke.

In what Coach Peterson termed
the most gratifying win of the season,
the team came back to defeat the
University of Massachusetts for the
first time in nine years and only the
third time since 1933. The meet was
decided in the last event as WPI won
the final relay by less than one second
to come out on top 52-43. Three school
records were set on the way to victory,
with sophomore John Loehmann of
the Bronx, N.Y., leading the way with
a new record in the individual medley.

The team finished the season with
two easy victories over Brandeis and
Lowell Tech to finish with a 6-2
record. In the "practice" meet with a
strong Northeastern team, the team
came up with their best performance
of the year, according to Coach Peter-
son, as they prepared for the New
England meet.

In the strongest showing by a WPI
swim team since the days of Bob
Rounds, '64, "We swam at the New
England's the way we had been cap-
able of swimming all year," said Coach
Peterson. "We swam up to our poten-
tial there." The 400-yd. medley relay

team, although they did not reach the
finals, broke their own WPI record by
a full seven seconds. Sophomore Bruce
Eteson of Worcester, lowered his own
record in the 200-yd. breaststroke by
two seconds, and the 400-yd. free-
style relay team of Dick Ellis, '72, of
Gardner, Mass., senior co-captain Lou
Zitnay of Stratford, Conn., Al Nafis,
'72, of Hartford, Conn., and junior
Tom Weil of Staten Island, N.Y., had
an outstanding day, taking six seconds
off the school record.

The freshman team wound up
their season with a 3-3 record. Two
outstanding prospects for next year's
varsity are Fred Baker of Falmouth,
Me., who was consistently faster than
the varsity times in the backstroke,
and Steve Johnson of Wethersfield,
Conn. Two other potential prospects
are Vern Hatt of Staffordville, Conn.,
and Steve Cole of Wethersfield, Conn.,
who, according to Coach Peterson,
shared the freshman team award for
most improvement.

Thus, with a strong freshman team
and the loss of only four seniors,
Coach Peterson is looking forward to
an even better season next year.

Lenny Polizzotto pins his opponent.

To All WPI Alumni:

A LETTER FROM YOUR
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Alumnus:

I wish I could sit down with each of you for a
person-to-person discussion of recent developments re-
garding a proposed administrative reorganization of our
WPI Alumni Association. In lieu of our personal chat, I
would like to use The Journal as the vehicle for delivering
this important message to you.

The past eight months. have been filled with action and
progress. Your representatives have made outstanding con-
tributions and, after a series of constructive "cards on the
table" discussions and debates, have reached a position
which I want to pass along to you. Your individual and
collective reactions and suggestions are earnestly solicited.

Let me first give you a brief recap of the developments
since the summer of 1969. Soon after his inauguration, our
new president of WPI, Dr. George W. Hazzard, clearly
stated his conviction that your Alumni Association repre-
sents an extremely important group of people. He has
repeatedly stated that the future well-being of private,
independent colleges in general, and WPI in particular, is, to
a very large degree, dependent upon the whole-hearted,
year-in-year-out support of alumni. And he was not
referring to dollars alone. It was made clear that our
president recognizes and stresses the need for non-financial,
as well as financial, participation by our alumni.

Since the day Dr. Hazzard arrived on our campus, it has
been obvious that his prime objective and the prime

objective of our Alumni Association are one and the same:
to do all we can for WPI, to do what is best for WPI, and to
do it all in the way that is most effective and best for WPI.
Our common target was quickly established.

Prior to the February, 1970 meeting of your Alumni
Council, Dr. Hazzard requested that the Association give
serious (and prompt) consideration to an ADMINISTRA-
TIVE reorganization of the Alumni Association. The
reorganization being considered is limited to administrative
and office-type activities only.

In presenting his recommendations, Dr. Hazzard made
it clear that he is proposing nothing that will reduce the
stature or functions of the Alumni Association. On the
contrary, he visualizes the kind of dynamic, constructive
Association we all want and have been planning for. It will
be a more effective and powerful Alumni Association than
has been known in any prior period. You, through your
council delegates, would continue to elect your own
officers, propose your own budgets before consolidation
into the overall college budget proposal, and determine
your own goals and programs.

At its February 14, 1970 meeting, your Council passed
a motion that we consider, between then and June, 1970,
the suggested consolidation of the Alumni Association
administrative office into the Institute, conditional upon
studies of what would have to be done and what the
advantages and disadvantages are. The Alumni Association

THE JOURNAL

president was authorized to appoint a committee to make
the necessary studies and to meet personally with Dr.
Hazzard and his associates. Under the outstanding chair-
manship of Brad Hosmer, '61, this committee, named the
Administrative Reorganization Committee, has worked
hard and completed its assignment quickly and with flying
colors. Each member of this committee was a volunteer and
an enthusiastic participant.

At the time of their appointments, the people on this
committee represented every possible attitude toward the
suggested administrative reorganization. In their lengthy
face-to-face discussions with Dr. Hazzard and Mr. Halt-
tunen, these fellows raised just about every question you
would have asked if all 10,000 of you had been there.
Fund-raising, budgeting, control of the Association, com-
munications, publications, office economies, structure of
alumni associations at other colleges, selection and election
of the alumni secretary, and active involvement of alumni
in non-financial working committees were among the major
questions discussed at length. You may be assured that the
subject at hand has received exhaustive and meticulous
study. I can also assure you that the WPI president and
your alumni representatives have a complete, two-way
understanding of each other's goals, plans, and proposed
implementation routes. Most importantly, the two groups,
have established a high degree of mutual respect and
working rapport.

Before going any further, I want to be sure you clearly
understand that there is not, nor has there been, during the
deliberations, any intent or proposal'to affect your Alumni
Association through absorption of the Association into the
college structure. As far as your Association is concerned, it
is not an absorption, nor is it a consolidation, merger, or
acquisition.

In analyzing the duties and functions of your Alumni
Association office, it quickly becomes apparent that in
many areas there are administrative branches of the college
organization performing similar, overlapping, or contiguous
assignments. The proposal covers combinations of such
activities. For examples, the Alumni Association and the
college would: maintain and use one master file of alumni
for all purposes; jointly plan, solicit, and record on a
consolidated basis, all alumni giving (with all gifts directed
to WPI); jointly plan and execute pre-admission inter-

viewing and counseling; and eliminate duplication in publi-
cations with the intent of providing more effective com-
munication between each of you and your college. Under
the terms of the proposal, the alumni secretary would still
be elected by the Alumni Council, but would now report
administratively to a member of the WPI president's staff,
specifically, the vice president - university relations. His
nomination would be recommended jointly by the nomi-
nating committee of the Alumni Association and the vice
president — university relations.

I called a special meeting of your Executive Committee
and Alumni Council on April 4, 1970, for the purpose of
receiving Brad Hosmer's final report on the Administrative
Reorganization Committee's fulfillment of the terms of the
motion of the February Council meeting.

The report recommended that the Alumni Association
support and move ahead with the administrative reorganiza-
tion proposal; and that a full statement of the recommenda-
tions and conditions be mailed to every alumnus prior to
May 5, 1970. Final action could then be taken at the
annual meeting of the Association on June 6, 1970.

There was a full discussion by the Council with Dr.
Hazzard of supporting statements, reservations, and quali-
fied opposition. As a result, there was a complete recon-
ciliation of all points of view.

The motion to adopt the Administrative Reorganization
Committee's report and present it to each of you for final
approval at the June, 1970 meeting was unanimously
passed by the Executive Committee and Council.

The material, with all necessary supporting detail, is
now in your hands. Please give it your serious consideration
and reach your own conclusions based upon your feelings
regarding the progress you desire for WPI. Please communi-
cate your opinions to your council delegates in advance of
the June meeting.

WPI and the Alumni Association are entering into a new
and exciting era. We need the active interest and participa-
tion of every one of you.
Best regards,

COMMENTS

Note: The editors welcome comments
concerning issues of the JOURNAL.
The following letter is in response to "A
Faculty Viewpoint" in the Winter
1970 issue of the JOURNAL by Prof.
Roger Borden.

Dear Mr. Zepp:

I would like to call your attention
to Volume 73 of "The Journal", spe-
cifically, "A Faculty Viewpoint" by
Associate Professor Roger R. Borden.

At the risk of appearing cynically
critical of his expose, may I suggest
that Professor Borden's presentation
has all the earmarks of being just
another can of Maxwell House off the
shelf.

In the last few years, we readers
have been deluged with this type of
triviality wrapped in the camouflaged
cloak of "competence" to the extent
that we can sympathize with the Pro-
fessor's unconscious excursion into
repitiveness; almost logarithmic plagia-
rism. Succinctly, what he says is "old
hat".

The only thing novel, I think,
about his analysis of all the wrongs
that have been wrought on young
people by their parents, is the fact that
he has, with his assumed and admitted
competence, condemned the present
world to "pretense, hypocrisy, false
premises and expediency". He has
suggested, but feebly so, that he is a
member of this giant colony of execu-
tioners. The pretentiousness of his
writings do suggest that he be classi-
fied as a charter member.

I, too, in the last 25 years have had
some experience in the observation of
young people, especially college grad-
uates. Admittedly, my association

period follows that of the paternal
protection afforded by parents and
self adulation propounded by some
college professors. These have been the
"meat and butter days" — the days a
person mentally and financially must
become independent; or, become so
frustrated that he or she resorts back
to a career student, another cog in a
government bureau, or some lesser
occupation where a more energetic
person directs their entire life.

I would suggest to Professor Bor-
den — that his admitted competency
to write on his selected subject be
fortified with additional responsibil-
ities to be blended with his "teaching
and counseling".

And now, a few observations of
my own about the youth. First, there
is no establishment today that has not
always existed between generations
because of age differences. The only
difference is that the word is used
today to suggest something undisci-
plined, because that's what some inef-
fective frustrated people hope the
world will degenerate to. Then, their
appointed wisdom will allow them to
save the world.

As for the bearded, mustached
students graduating from college, may
I say that with the exception of
socialist oriented, bureaucratic, educa-
tionally affiliated or a parasitically
inclined organization, that the length
of the students beards and hair be-
come indirectly proportional to their
work and family responsibility and to
their growing affluence. As they,
through their labor and ingenuity be-
come more prosperous, they seem to
fuse very quickly into what I think
Professor Borden refers to as the estab-

lishment. And, I might say, converse
to his pronouncement, it regularly
happens before the age of 25. Frankly,
it happens when they face the respon-
sibility of paying a great portion of
their income for taxes rather than
receiving money as a hand-out. Only
on the point of hand-out can I agree
with Professor Borden concerning the
wicked role being played by parents.
Finally, with reference to the next
to the last paragraph of his analysis of
the human race, may I suggest that he
tell his students that this country and
its mankind has a future, not if we
have a future. My class of '46 was a
rebel class, no better, no worse than
that of '70. But, if I'm to use his
faculty viewpoint as a criteria, the
difference is that the Professors at that
time instilled in the students the fact
that the world did not owe them a
thing. We were told that as we pro-
gressed mentally, spiritually, and fi-
nancially that the contemporary world
would progress with us. This grad-
uate's viewpoint is that not to realize
this fact suggest that one must be
totally blind to the economic facts,
oblivious to the religious views of
humans, unappreciative of the giant
strides made in social justice, and
quarantined from the elegant plans
being made and instituted to improve
both man's mental and physical envi-
ronment. In short, an academic snob
would qualify. No accusations in-
tended. This is simply a journey into
semantics.

Sincerely,

R. P. Kuykendall, '46 D

FINANCIAL AID IS BASED ON

NEED

by
EDGAR F. HESELBARTH

Director of Financial Aid

A student's parent went to see a
psychiatrist and said, "Doctor, I have a
problem. But first let me tell you I
have a $100,000 home, three auto-
mobiles, and four children in college."
The doctor replied, "That's fine. Now
what's your problem?" The parent
said, "I only make $60 per week."

It would appear this gentleman,
indeed, had somewhat of a "need".
Most financial aid administrators, how-
ever, would probably review his appli-
cation with a rather jaundiced eye.
Fortunately, we have not encountered
such a problem, but as with all colleges
we do have the opportunity to review
some very interesting family situa-
tions.

The concept of "need" in the
awarding of student financial aid
seems to not only be baffling but
frustrating to many parents. Fre-
quently we hear from the parents and
sometimes even the students them-
selves that a student they know, whose
family lives in an expensive house, has
two or three late model automobiles, a
summer cottage, etc., has received
great quantities of scholarship aid,
while they, living frugally, have been
denied the same opportunity. In fact,
they feel they have even been pe-
nalized for having saved and done
without luxury items in order that
their offspring might be able to attend
college. Generally, the facts do not
substantiate this information. Now it
is true, that there are colleges which
award grants-in-aid to students with-

out consideration of the family finan-
cial situation. These grants are
primarily for the "purchase" of some
particular talent such as athletics,
music, art, etc. Of the total financial
aid awarded annually in the United
States, the greatest amount by far is
awarded on the need concept! AtWPI
all financial aid is awarded on the
basis of need.

Now then, what is "need"? Finan-
cial need is the difference between the
amount of money a student and his
family can provide for an education
and the expense of that education.
Financial need is not a term
synonymous with poverty. It is related
to college expenses as well as family
financial strength. While maintaining
its objectively measured standard of
living, a family that would need sub-
stantial financial aid to send its stu-
dent to one college might need much
less to meet that student's expenses at
another institution. Two elements
must always be considered:

1. The amount of money the stu-
dent and his family can reasonably be
expected to contribute toward a def-
inite period of education, usually an
academic year.

2. The expense of the education
during that period at the institution of
higher education the student plans to
attend.

Financial need is the difference
between these two amounts; the
greater the difference, the greater the
need, measured on a scale relative to
college expenses.

Who determines financial need? At
WPI, as with most colleges in the
northeastern part of the United States,
we use the College Scholarship Service
to evaluate, on a formula basis, the
financial need of our applicants. These
formulas give an objective picture of
the financial situation at a given
moment and the attempt is to treat
identical situations equally. While
there are rarely two identical financial
situations, in theory at least, the
amount of need would be the same if
there were. The C. S. S. analysis is a
guideline for use of the financial aid
administrators, but it must be pointed
out that it is the college which makes
the final determination of the stu-
dents' need and, of course, the awards.
I think it is important for parents of
college students to understand that the
C. S. S. formulas are constantly being
revised. Therefore, it is possible for a
family to be declined aid one year and
to have a need the next, even though
the overall financial situation has not
changed. The reverse of this is also
true. Therefore, I usually recommend
that parents with children in college
apply for financial aid every year (if
they feel they have a need) even
though their application has been re-
peatedly declined. I think it is also
important for parents to understand
that the C. S. S. formula looks mainly
to the family income for the contri-
bution to the student's college ex-
penses rather than the assets. Gener-
ally the amount expected from family
assets is negligible.

Alumni Council Meets

The Alumni Council of the Alumni
Association held its Winter meeting on
Saturday, February 14, 1970, in Mor-
gan Hall. Thirteen alumni chapters of
the Association were represented.

WPI President Dr. George W. Haz-
zard was introduced to the Council by
Alumni Association President Robert
E. Higgs, '40. In speaking to the group.
Dr. Hazzard stated that he is very
impressed by the environment on the
campus and by the spirit and attitude
of the alumni, and that because of
this, he feels WPI is really on the
move. He also indicated that the final
Planning Committee report would
present a model for the college which
would individualize the instruction of
every Tech student.

Dr. Hazzard introduced an alum-
nus of WPI, Olavi H. Halttunen, '45, to
the Council as a newly-appointed Vice
President of the college. He said he
would be responsible for university
relations, which include public and
press relations, college development,
and fund raising.

Dr. Hazzard feels very strongly
that the college can operate more
effectively if a closer relationship
exists between the alumni and the
college. Therefore, he recommended
that the Council take the steps neces-
sary to make the management of
alumni affairs a part of the college
administration, effective as soon as
possible.

Reporting on the activities of the
Annual Fund, Alumni Fund Board
Chairman Irving James Donahue, Jr.,
'44, stated that contributions were
running about 10% ahead of the pre-
vious year with a sum of $85,385.87
having been contributed as of January
31, 1970.

Encouraging every Council Dele-
gate to voice his opinions and to
reflect the feelings of his local chapter
to the best of his ability, President
Higgs noted that the question of reor-
ganizing the Alumni Association
should be thoroughly discussed, and
agreement must be reached on a pro-
posed course and time of action.

A majority of the time spent at the
meeting was devoted to a discussion of
the proposed reorganization of the
Association. While many , seemed to
feel that the Alumni Association and
the college might eventually merge,
there was a rather widespread lack of
knowledge of how the merger would
be handled. In addition, most people
seemed to feel that the proposed
merger date, as set by Dr. Hazzard,
was probably too hasty to provide a
smooth merger. Thus, upon a motion
by Walter J. Bank, '46B, of the Wash-
ington Chapter, a committee was
established to "consider between now
and June, 1970, the consolidation of
the Alumni Association administrative
office into the Institute, conditional
upon the studies of what would have
to be done, and what the advantages
and disadvantages are. (Furthermore,)
the President of the Association is to
appoint a committee that will actively
look into these points . . . in con-
junction with representatives of the
Institute so that we know clearly what
has to be done and what it means to
us."

Trustees Nominated

At the February 14 meeting of the
Alumni Council, three WPI alumni
were nominated by the Council to be
Term Trustees of the Institute. Term
Trustees serve for a period of five
years. They may be renominated at
the end of their first term to serve a
second five-year term, but at the end
of two consecutive terms on the
Board, they become ineligible for
renomination.

This year the Council renominated
for a second five-year term Daniel F.
O'Grady, '30, and Lincoln Thompson,
'21. Mr. O'Grady is currently general
services manager for New England
Telephone and Telegraph Co. in Bos-
ton. While an undergraduate, he was a

member of Alpha Tau Omega Frater-
nity, Tau Beta Pi, and Skull. As an
alumnus, he has served as the Boston
Alumni Chapter President and was
President of the Alumni Association
from 1960 to 1962. Mr. Thompson is
retired. He was formerly chairman of
the board and chief executive officer
of Raymond Engineering, Inc., in Mid-
dletown, Conn. While an under-
graduate, he was a member of Phi
Sigma Kappa Fraternity and Sigma Xi
Honorary Society. He has served the
Alumni Association as a Council Rep-
resentative, a member of the Executive
Committee, and as a Vice President of
the Association.

The third nominee is Thomas B.
Graham, '38. He was nominated to fill

a vacancy created because William E.
Hanson, '32, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, had completed two suc-
cessive terms as a Term Trustee and
thus was ineligible for renomination.
Mr. Graham is presently operating
his own law firm in New York City,
and he specializes in patent and trade-
mark matters. He graduated from WPI
in 1938, with distinction, in chemical
engineering and went on to receive his
master's degree from WPI in 1940. He
received his Juris Doctor degree from
Georgetown University in 1946, and in
1968 WPI awarded him an honorary
Doctor of Engineering degree. He is a
Past President of the New York
Alumni Chapter and is a former
member of the Alumni Fund Board.

FUND

PROGRESS

REPORT

With 2% months remaining in the 1969-'

70 annual Alumni Fund, a total of $103,605.92 has been

contributed by loyal alumni,

and an additional

$11,449.88 has been contributed by corporations which

have matching gift programs

Thus, the total of the two

programs

as of April 1 5,

1970, is $115,055.80.

Last year on the same date $93,878.55 had been contributed by alumni.

The announcement in February of a special Challenge Fund has helped to boost the total contribu-

tions to the Fund, and the oi

tlook from this viewpoint continues to be encouraging. However, 1

he per-

centage of participation by a

umni

is somewhat disappointing as of April 1 5. On

that date only 26% of

the alumni had contributed to the

Fund, which is a lone

way from

meeting the optimistic goal of 50%

participation set by the Fund Board.

Board of Trustees Meet

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPROVED
HANSON ELECTED TRUSTEE-AT-LARGE

The Board of Trustees, at their midwinter meeting on
February 14, approved a recommendation to establish a
Department of Computer Science, effective July 1, 1970,
and to establish a Bachelor of Science Program in Computer
Science, effective in September, 1970. The new computer
science program and degree will supplement the master's
degree program in computer science which was approved by
the trustees in February, 1969. The new program will
utilize the facilities of the Worcester Area College Computa-
tion Center located in Gordon Library. Dr. Norman E.
Sondak is director of the center.

The board elected Dr. William E. Hanson, '32, an
at-large trustee, effective July 1, 1970. Dr. Hanson, who is
chairman of the Board of Trustees, is currently a term
trustee and has served two five-year terms. Under the
constitution and by-laws of the Alumni Association, he
became ineligible for renomination as a term trustee this
year and could continue to serve on the board only by the
action of the trustees.

In other business. Dean Martin C. Van de Visse
informed the board that applications for admission are
running about the same as last year with a freshman class of
550 as the goal this year. He also noted that the elimination
of Saturday classes has probably decreased the student
social life and that the number of recruiters and the number
of available jobs are down from a year ago.

Student Government President Steven A. Udell of
Hewlett, N.Y., presented his thoughts to the trustees about
the WPI community. He mentioned the need for a student
union, a faculty lounge, and a definite need to make
student housing more appealing. He further stated that he
felt the Planning Committee report, if accepted, would be a
giant step in the right direction for a successful WPI in the
future.

In his report to the trustees, Dr. Hazzard stated, in part:

This report, my second, reflects a snow job. Here in
Worcester, snow is all we have seen since early December,
huge piles and streets full of it. But the campus has been
hot with discussion about Two Towers III and the college

role in many things. So the snow melts fast where the
discussion is.

The news media try to convince people they should feel
sorry for college presidents these days. They shouldn't. We
never had a better opportunity to examine our goals and
test our ability to meet the challenges of society. And at
WPI there is still a healthy climate for orderly and
constructive change.

There are other reasons why I am optimistic about WPI.
This past winter and fall I have visited 16 alumni chapters.
The alumni enthusiasm for WPI, respect for its past
accomplishments, and interest in its future are exciting
stimulants to a new president. But the effect is visible
elsewhere. Everywhere I go in Worcester I find the same
attitudes, that WPI has been and will be an important and
respected part of the city. My objective is to retain and
increase that confidence.

Most interesting of all are the faculty and students and
the "process" that is our kind of higher education. We have
an excellent student body, intelligent, hard working, moral.
Our faculty is devoted to teaching and it, too, fits the
student description. Yet here is the rub.

Many faculty and students have responded enthusias-
tically to the proposals in Two Towers III. Yet many others
have expressed doubts and raised objections. The way they
do so expresses an attitude we must overcome at WPI. It
seems to be a lack of self-confidence in their ability to
accomplish great things, to learn on their own, to put
themselves at risk for fear of failure. Still to be established
is a self-image that properly reflects their abilities and frees
them for great accomplishment. To me, their willingness to
move ahead into a unique WPI kind of education will be a
measure of our success in this area.

We are in the throes of developing a long range
academic plan stating the goals and the necessary intellec-
tual steps to reach them. Coupled with the intellectual must
be a physical plan to provide the environment most likely
to ensure success. Much has been done by a sub unit of the
Planning Committee but a great deal more detailed planning

THE JOURNAL

must be done before we can move confidently ahead. Only
with a detailed, careful, yet flexible physical plan can we be
confident about our next moves.

The details are not yet clear but I think two physical
needs are essential yet unmet. Even with the completion of
the Stoddard Residence Center we still will need student
housing promptly. The only question is "what kind?"
Secondly we need better physical means for non-classroom
interactions by all parts of our campus community — a
College Center, but not necessarily the big all purpose
student union of the state university. With the help of a
sub-committee of the Planning Committee, I believe we will
produce some novel but useful ideas. It is most important
that both the housing and the center serve the real needs of
the WPI community.

Again this year the Student Social Committee is
co-sponsoring with the Worcester Art Museum their series
of twelve Sunday afternoon free concerts. These include
performances of such groups as the New York Jazz Sextet,
the Prokofiev Quartet, and the- Mozarteum Woodwind
Quintet from Argentina.

A dream of students for almost the past decade became
a reality in late November when radio station WICN
received permission from the Federal Communications
Commission to begin program testing. This allowed the
station, which is a project shared by students of both WPI
and Holy Cross, to begin broadcasting at full power of
2,000 watts. This station, which appears at 90.5 megacycles
on the FM dial, now broadcasts athletic events, campus
news, and for a large part of their program time, recorded
music.

During the fall the newspapers had many accounts of
student participation throughout the country in the Viet-
nam moratorium activities. Students in the Worcester area
as throughout the country participated in October and
November activities. On October 15 classes were held as
usual, though some were sparsely attended as students took
part in discussions concerning the Vietnam war. Some
faculty members took the opportunity in the class period
to discuss the topic of the day. In the afternoon delegations
of students from the colleges of the city all marched to the
center of Worcester for an outdoor rally in front of City
Hall where a number of speakers took part. They heard
talks by President Jackson of Clark University, President
Swords of Holy Cross, and Dr. Hoagland of the Worcester
Foundation for Experimental Biology. Commendation is
certainly due the Worcester Police Department who worked
with student leaders in arranging the routes of march and
providing motorcycle and police escorts for the marching
contingents, protecting them from traffic hazards on route
to the center of the city.

On the November moratorium day the campus activities
were on a somewhat smaller scale. One of the major efforts
of the WPI group was to encourage a large number of

'7 FIND MYSELF
REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC"

students to go to the local Red Cross Blood Center and
make a donation of blood as an expression of their concern
for others.

Our black students have found the WPI experience
generally satisfactory. We hope to continue or modestly
expand the admission of academically qualified black high
school graduates. The interest of several black girls is
especially encouraging to us and to the men now on
campus.

Several comments are in order in reference to the
admissions situation this year. In spite of the increase in
tuition effective next year, interest by applicants in WPI is
at an all time high. More and more students with a serious
interest in a technological education are finding WPI
attractive. Helping to maintain high quality in the appli-
cants is a major contribution of the Alumni Admissions
Counselors. This is a dedicated group of several hundred
alumni who actively have been seeking out and counseling
the best candidates in their home areas. The admissions
staff has developed a program to inform and involve these
counselors throughout the year.

The WPI Society of Families is again sponsoring coffee
parties for prospective freshmen and their families this
winter. Often co-sponsored by alumni in the areas where
the meetings are held, these parties have been very effective
in attracting candidates to the campus for a personal
interview. Past experience indicates that the campus visit is
one of the key factors in influencing an applicant to prefer
WPI. A final, and major, factor is the increased financial aid
which the trustees made available, starting last year.

The Stoddard Residence Center construction is about
on schedule. The recent bitter cold weather has slowed
construction though much work is going on under the
cocoon-like protective covering of wrap-around plastic.
These new residences will be available non too soon as more
nearby housing falls in the name of urban redevelopment.

On January 19, the Worcester Consortium for Higher
Education was joined by Dr. Lawrence Fox, who became
the full-time Executive Director. He brings a wealth of
experience to this position after three years as Associate
Director of the Massachusetts Advisory Council on Educa-
tion in Boston. The Consortium continues to be one of the
great hopes of the Worcester academic community as we
find more and more ways in which the local colleges can

THE JOURNAL

cooperate. There are now signs of students looking for ways
to take part in cooperative ventures. You can see such
examples in the cross registration, library bookshuttle, FM
Radio Station or the Worcester Intercollegiate Symphonic
Band, and the groups which meet at the Collegiate
Religious Center just off the WPI campus.

Voluntary ROTC seems eminently successful. All those
now taking part are there by their own choice which
permits a more meaningful educational experience for all
concerned. The draft lottery had its effect on campus as
everyplace in the country where young men of college age
anxiously watched to see what number they would draw in
the lottery. Just how the lottery will actually affect young
men in general, and WPI students in particular, we can't tell
yet.

The Tech Community Council which I proposed at the
beginning of the academic year is now a reality. The council
consists of five undergraduates, on graduate student, four
faculty members and three members of the administration.
Their first meeting in January was, to our knowledge, the
first time such a representative group had ever met on this
campus for the express purpose of identifying problems and
needs, with the responsibility for making recommendations
to the proper action group. Several pertinent topics were on
their first agenda and the first reaction is that the TCC will
fill an important gap in the campus interaction structure. It
is our sincere hope that this forum for open discussion will
bring to the attention of all concerned the type of problems
which, when not recognized, have led to campus unhap-
piness in many parts of the country.

Involving students in the real problems of the com-
munity, a major objective of Two Towers III, is already a
reality in several departments on campus. Dr. Nicholas
Onorato has arranged for students in his Business Finance
course to work on solving real financial problems of local
companies. This type of practical experience is made
possible through the cooperation of members of his School
of Industrial Management classes. This same type of real-life
experience has involved students in the Management Engi-
neering program in developing new products through the
cooperation of a Boston firm. Courses taught by several
faculty members in other engineering fields have also
involved this practical application approach to the great
benefit of both the students and the participating business-
men. The enthusiasm on the part of students and the
greater effectiveness of the learning process, certainly
points out the value of the projects approach to the WPI
education programs — a key element of the approach being
developed by the Planning Committee.

Basketball coaching duties this year are being handled
by two part-time coaches. The appointment of a permanent
coach will probably be made in the near future.

The women's physical education program has com-
pleted its first semester with no problems. Mrs. Paula Lantz,
a physical education college graduate, has taught the girls

the fundamentals of swimming, tennis and bowling. As the
number of women students grows, it will be necessary to
provide a larger permanent girls' locker room and perhaps
additional athletic field facilities.

One of the values of the athletic program which is not
readily apparent is the contact which team participation
establishes for WPI with the colleges with whom we do not
have much regular contact at the faculty or administrative
levels because of distance or differences in academic
programs. WPI teams have always deported themselves as
gentlemen. Their dress, behavior, and in most cases their
athletic prowess leave an excellent impression on our
opponents, students, faculties, administrators and alumni.
Our normal competitors include Dartmouth, Harvard,
Middlebury, Boston University, Brandeis, Amherst, Trinity,
Wesleyan, Brown and Williams.

Plans are progressing well for the Second International
Conference on Molecular Sieve Zeolites to be held on
campus September 8 to 1 1 under the local chairmanship of
Professor Leonard B. Sand. Financial support in the
amount of $10,000 has already been received from industry
and from the Petroleum Research Fund to defray expenses.
Ten distinguished speakers will present invited papers;
seventy-five additional papers have been selected for pres-
entation. This WPI conference will report progress in the
field since the first conference in London in 1967. The next
meeting is already being planned for Zurich in 1973.

The new freshman elective. Introduction to Environ-
mental Problems, has been so well received that Dr. Zwiebel
of Chemical Engineering and Professor Lantz of Civil
Engineering will offer it again during the second semester.

Consulting with industry is a fairly common occupation
for faculty members. However, Dr. Wilmer Kranich, head of
the Chemical Engineering department, must have set some
sort of local distance record when he went to Botswana in
southern Africa in connection with a project for recovery
of several commercially useful salts from a dry lake.

In looking back over my first half year on campus, I
find myself really enthusiastic about the future of WPI.
Many challenges lie ahead for all of us. However, the
prospects for success are bright. We have on this campus a
dedicated staff of people who want the very best
opportunities for our students. This is their reason for being
here.

This spirit, the optimism I've felt on all sides, the many
activities which have been described in this letter, all add up
to the idea expressed by an early president of Haverford
College, Rufus Jones, who said:

"The most important thing about a college today, after
its intellectual honesty and integrity are taken for granted,
is the way it reaches the innermost life of its students and
quickens the central aims and ideals by which they are
henceforth to live."

What I see here at WPI is just that opportunity for
people who will play a central role in tomorrow's society.

Commencement Week on every college campus is a busy time every year and WPI is no
exception. But unlike many colleges this year, the week was entirely peaceful and without
disorder, a fine tribute to the whole WPI Community.

THE JOURNAL

THE WPI PLAN

EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM

The WPI Plan, formerly called the Two Towers IV Plan,
has been approved by the faculty and the trustees. The
faculty approved the Plan by a vote of 92 to 46 with three
abstentions. An interesting observation of those who voted
negatively indicated that most did not oppose the total Plan
but rather only portions of it and that some negative votes
were cast because the Plan did not go far enough.

Thus, WPI has embarked on a course which places the
college in a leadership position in the education world. In
the past, many schools have tried portions of the innova-
tions, and now WPI has become the first engineering college
in the country to adopt such a comprehensive and
far-reaching program. The Plan commits the college to
providing an educational experience which will be respon-
sive to each student's personal goals, using for some of its
course material real-life problems of concern to the student,
all developed within an academic calendar which permits
flexibility with respect to time span and learning pace.

Major innovations in the WPI Plan call for up to 25% of
the education to be involved with independent study and
projects of a real nature, while 75% of the education will
continue to be on a classroom-type basis. Traditional
lectures will continue to carry a large portion of the
teaching while individual and smaller group conferences will
personalize the learning process.

In addition to being educated on the WPI campus, the
Worcester Consortium for Higher Education and internship
centers will play an important role in the education of each
student. The Consortium, which is a joint venture by WPI
with five other four-year colleges and four two-year colleges
in the area, will provide opportunities for cross-registration
by undergraduates, joint curriculum projects, cooperating
libraries, a shared computer, and shared faculties.

A unique aspect of the WPI Plan is the establishment of
internship centers of WPI at research laboratories, industrial
plant locations, government centers, and social service
organizations. The internship centers will make it possible
to carry on projects which are best handled "on-site." They
will usually consist of 15 students and resident faculty
support. However, special studies or projects will be
arranged, from time to time, for smaller groups at locations
without a regular internship center. While the work will
focus on real problems of the host organization, full
educational direction will remain with WPI.

This third resource adds especially relevant experiences
to be drawn on by the student and his advisor. Knowledge

THE JOURNAL

is not limited to that which has been reduced to a textbook
and then integrated into a "course" by the faculty. The
student sees his field of interest in flux and growth, and in
its multidisciplinary interrelationships. Here he can evaluate
his educational objectives while he still has time to change.

The Plan adopts the concept of four seven-week terms,
normally with three subject areas per term, in place of the
now-existent two semesters with five or six courses per
semester. This program of concentration on only three
subjects at a time will, hopefully, provide a greater focus of
attention and more efficient and effective learning. A fifth
term of seven weeks during the summer will enable students
to either accelerate their programs or to lighten their
academic schedules during the year. The calendar, with its
flexibility, will lend itself to easily meeting the needs of
students with varying backgrounds.

In January of each year, an Intersession will bring
together on campus visiting scholars, experts from industry
and government, faculty and students, in a series of three
week-long seminars.

Each seminar will be an intensive examination of a
particular field of interest. This concentration will enable
the faculty to keep abreast of developing technologies in
their fields of specialization, and to be made aware of
developments in other fields of ancillary interest. The
visiting experts will both contribute to these seminars and
advance their own knowledge by sharing views with other
experts in the field. The student will undergo an intensive
educational experience which will further his knowledge
and provide him with a means of evaluating many different
career opportunites.

Performance Evaluation

The WPI Plan adopts a grading and evaluation system
based on self-motivation. A truly professional person
achieves because of his inherent desire to promote an ideal
he believes in or a project for which he is responsible. In
preparing a student to enter the professional world, the
faculty are his natural allies. An abstract numerical grading
system tends to destroy this alliance and hinder the
educational process in advancing the student's goals. For
these reasons WPI has adopted a unique grading system
based upon personal written evaluations by each faculty
member. These evaluations include the grades of acceptable
with distinction, acceptable, or not acceptable in all studies,
plus a written evaluation of the student in all projects or
independent studies. In the case of a project, an abstract of

the student's work will be included with the full report on
file in the college's library. The sum total of these written
evaluations helps the student in his personal development
and allows him to show future colleagues his developing
strengths.

Graduation Requirements

The Plan has adopted a graduation requirement which
tests competence through the application of knowledge to
unfamiliar problems. A comprehensive examination de-
signed to require broad knowledge in a field of study, and
two advanced level projects or independent studies drawn
from real-life situations, are the mechanisms for testing that
competence. These will not be narrow academic exercises,
but rather seven-week projects or independent studies and
one- or two-week comprehensives, with all sources of
information available, just as will be the case after
graduation.

Summary

The WPI Plan is the result of a thorough investigation of
the demands of society on higher education. It assumes that
a liberal education in the last quarter of the twentieth
century must have a strong technical and scientific base and
that the individual who is to be truly educated must
examine thoroughly all of the implications of technology
for human welfare.

The various modes of instruction, the individualized
advising and curricular programs, the new academic calen-
dar, the off-campus internship centers, the refreshing new
approach to the evaluation of student work, and the joining
of faculty and students in learning, are the outstanding
features of the Plan.

With its innovations and positive attitude toward
learning, the WPI Plan is an exciting and difficult under-
taking for an independent college of engineering and
science. The flexibility of the Plan accommodates the
varying backgrounds, needs, and motivations of the
entering students. While encouraging the undergraduate to
be responsible and accountable for his own education, the
college will provide him with excellent advising; a variety of
contacts with expert faculty in both basic and specialized
fields; modern library, laboratory, and other technical
resources; an opportunity to study at off-campus sites; and
above all, a community where both the student and the
faculty member find about them a group of people
enjoying learning and attempting to solve some of the most
difficult problems of the time.

THE JOURNAL

WIN

AND
SHOW?

The Propane Gasser, the Hybrid- Electric Vehicle, the
Great Teakettle, the Clean Air Saab, and the Dark Horse
Entry are ready for post time. The course has been set. The
judges are ready. And the Clean Air Car Race is set to begin
August 24. With some 40 low pollution automobiles
entered by college students from campuses throughout
North America, it promises to be not only an exciting race,
but also a vivid means of demonstrating the effectiveness of
low pollution automobiles in the fight against air pollution.

The response from students at WPI has been over-
whelming. About 60 students responded to the initial
announcement and five entries have been prepared. Much
of the support for the program has come from American
industry, with some financial support from a special alumni
solicitation and from other donors. The only design
requirement for the entries is that they must produce less
pollution than that which will be required for vehicles in
the state of California in 1975. The race has been organized
by a committee of students from MIT, Caltech, and other
schools.

There will be overnight stopping and repair facilities in
Toronto, Ont.; Detroit, Mich.; Champaign, III.; Tulsa,
Okla; Odessa, Tex.; and Tucson, Ariz. There will also be
frequent substations along the route where electric entries
will be able to recharge batteries and where cars using other
types of non-conventional fuel (propane, compressed na-
tural gas, etc.) will be able to replenish their supplies. All
competing groups will be required to do their own driving
and to make their own roadside repairs as necessary. Each
entry will be accompanied by an observer or judge.

Beginning August 17, the week before the start of the
race, the entries will be subjected to a series of detailed
performance and emission tests in the Boston area. Based
on these tests, points will be awarded and penalties will be
assessed which will be used in determining the eventual

winners. The actual race will begin August 24 in Cambridge,
Mass., and will proceed the 3,600 miles to Pasadena, Calif.,
along a predetermined route.

The cars will follow the Massachusetts Turnpike and the
New York State Thruway to Buffalo, N.Y. From Buffalo,
the cars will follow Interstate 290 and 1-190 to Niagara
Falls and cross over into Canada. They will follow the
Queen Elizabeth Way to Toronto and then take Prov. 401
from Toronto until they cross back into the United States
at Detroit.

From Detroit the cars will follow I-94 through Michigan
to Michigan City, Ind., where they will pick up I-90 and
then I-80 through Indiana to a point just south of Chicago,
where they will pick up I-57 southward. In Effingham, III.,
the race will switch to I-70 and they will follow I-70 to St.
Louis, Mo.

From St. Louis the route will take the cars along I-44
through Missouri and to Oklahoma City. In Oklahoma City
the cars will pick up I-35 which will take them to Dallas,
Tex. From Dallas the route turns westward again along I-20
and 1-10 to Casa Grande, Ariz.

At Casa Grande the route will take the cars along I-8 to
San Diego, where they will swing northward along I-5,
taking them into the Los Angeles area. The final few miles
will be along the Pasadena Freeway to Pasadena and the
Caltech campus where post-race performance and emission
tests will be conducted and the winner declared.

Along the race route Pit Crews have been organized by
a Committee headed by Walter Dennen, '18, and Enfried
Larson, '22. Pit Crew Chiefs are: John Geffken, '63, of
Williamsville, N.Y. for Toronto; Ed Judd, '50, of Plymouth,
Mich, for Detroit; Prof. Mohammad Amin in Champaign,
III.; Bill Dorman, '48, of Tulsa for Oklahoma City; Arthur
Dinsmoor, '49, of Midland for Odessa, Texas; Robert
Johnson, '27, of Green Valley, Ariz, for Tucson; and Paul
Yankauskas, '42, of Long Beach, Calif, for Pasadena.

Commencement Week

ALUMNI MEETINGS

For some of the alumni the week-
end began on Thursday afternoon with
a Fund Board meeting. With Chairman
Irving James Donahue, Jr., '44, of
Shrewsbury, Mass. presiding, the first
item of business was the election of a
Chairman for the next year. Mr. Dona-
hue was re-elected to a third term.
Following this the selection of recom-
mendations for membership on the
Fund Board was made and Aram
Kalenian, '33, was recommended for a
second three-year term and Lawrence
A. Penoncello, '66, was recommended
for his first three-year term.

The progress of the 1969-70 An-
nual Fund was discussed and it was
noted that contributions as of June 4
totaled $114,101.42 from 2578 gifts
with an additional $12,269.88 from
matching gifts.

A discussion of plans for the
1970-71 Annual Fund was next.
Stephen J. Hebert, '66, Assistant
Alumni Secretary, mentioned that
under the administrative reorganiza-
tion plans that methods of fund raising
would probably face major revision.
The key item would involve personal
solicitation on a chapter-by-chapter
basis. Final details of this were not
available.

The Executive Committee met Fri-
day morning. President Robert E.
Higgs, '40, presided and opened the
meeting by asking for a moment of
silence in memory of Thomas L.
Counihan, '24, who had passed away
on June 2. In his President's message
Mr. Higgs termed the past year as a
year of much success and much prog-
ress. He said that the success was a
culmination of many years' work by
many people and he singled out for
special praise the work of Bradley E.

Hosmer, '61, and his Administrative
Reorganization Committee. In con-
clusion, he stated his belief that the
Alumni Association is a dynamic part
of the Institute and should play a vital
role in its operation.

In other business, Mr. Donahue
gave a report of the Fund Board, Olavi
H. Halttunen, '45, outlined plans for
the coming year and the budget was
given Committee approval.

The Alumni Council met Friday
afternoon following a luncheon in
Morgan Hall with 16 chapters repre-
sented. The meeting was presided over
by President Higgs who gave his Presi-
dent's report which he had previously
given to the Executive Committee. He
introduced Dr. George W. Hazzard
who commented on the role of alumni
and on the proposed budget of the
college for 1970-71, which he noted
would show a deficit.

The Nominating Committee,
chaired by Stephen J. Spencer, '49,
presented its report and in due process
the following officers were elected:
President Robert E. Higgs, '40

Vice President Bradley E. Hosmer, '61
Secretary- Treasurer

Warren B. Zepp, '42
Executive Committee
Member-a t- large

Carl W. Backstrom, '30
Member-at-large

Leonard Polizzotto, '70
Fund Board Member

Aram Kalenian, '33
Fund Board Member

Lawrence A. Penoncello, '66

No action was necessary on the
continuing terms of Ralph R. Gabarro,
'51, Vice President and Plummer
Wiley, '35 and Francis S. Harvey, '37,
Executive Committee Members-at-
large.

In the most important single
action of the day, the Council gave
unanimous approval to the recommen-
dations for administrative re-
organization after making only a few
minor changes. (An article on the
reorganization appears elsewhere in
this issue).

REUNION DAY

With the weatherman uncoopera-
tive for the first time in recent years.
Reunion Day began with breakfast for
those who had had rooms in Daniels
Hall Friday night. The rain, however,
which forced the festivities inside into
Morgan Hall, never dampened the
spirits of the large turnout.

Registration was held in the lobby
of Morgan Hall during the morning.
During coffee, the 50- Year Associates
met in Daniels Hall and elected one of
the newest members, Malcolm B.
Arthur, '20, as their president. Being
president of a group is nothing new for
Malcolm as he is also president of his
class. Class pictures were taken prior
to the luncheon and the classes of
1935 and 1920 both had over 60
people in their pictures. After the
pictures, over 350 people gathered in
the Morgan Hall dining room for a fine
meal prepared by the Morgan Hall
kitchen staff headed by Al Begin.

The invocation was given by Win-
throp G. Hall, '02, and the luncheon
was served. Following the luncheon,
Robert E. Higgs, '40, who had been
re-elected president of the Alumni
Association the previous day, intro-
duced the guests seated at the head
table, including WPI President, Dr.
George W. Hazzard.

In his first address at a Reunion
Day luncheon. Dr. Hazzard noted his
pleasure at the large turnout of alumni
for the festivities as well as the excel-

THE JOURNAL

lent receptions he and Mrs. Hazzard
had received in their travels during the
past year to most of the alumni
chapters. He also commended several
of the older alumni in attendance for
their dedication and interest and he
commended other alumni, namely,
Leslie J. Chaffee, '16, John T. Hege-
man, '45, and Robert E. Scott, '45, for
traveling, respectively, from Tacoma,
Washington, Cranbrook, British
Columbia and London, England to
attend the Reunion. In conclusion, he
invited everyone to stop in at his
office in the southeast corner of Boyn-
ton Hall whenever they are in the area.
The annual Alumni Meeting was
then held. Robert Higgs, '40, Presi-
dent, presided. In his opening remarks
he explained what a busy year it had
been and said that the accomplish-
ments of the year were the results of
work which had been going on for
many years and that his administration
was not solely responsible. He thanked
all those who had helped during his
first year, and in particular singled out
for praise, Bradley E. Hosmer, '61,

Chairman, and the other members of
the Administrative Reorganization
Committee. He then introduced Brad
to explain the recommendations of his
committee. Following his explanation,
Aram Kalenian, '33, made a motion
to change the wording of the recom-
mendation, but on a voice vote this
was defeated. The total program of
recommendations was voted on next
and was passed. With no further busi-
ness, the meeting was adjourned and
the presentation of awards followed.

First of the presentations was the
fifty-year diplomas. These were pre-
sented by President Hazzard and Dean
Martin C. Van de Visse to 34 members
of the Class of 1920.

Dr. William E. Hanson, 32, Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees, pre-
sented Robert H. Goddard Awards for
Professional Achievement to Walter L.
Abel, '39 and Anson C. Fyler, '45. Mr.
Abel is vice-president for corporate
systems and director of research for
the USM Corp. of Beverly, Mass. Mr.
Fyler is president of Arrow-Hart, Inc.

of Hartford, Conn.

The Herbert F. Taylor Award for
Distinguished Service to the Institute
was presented to Chandler W. Jones,
'26, by Alumni President Higgs.

The "special" reunion class mes-
sages were the next item on the
program. Representing the Class of
1920 was their president, Malcolm B.
Arthur, who presented a check for
over S 10,000 to the Institute as their
class gift. The Class of 1945 was
represented by Robert E. Scott.
Noting that their class could not
match the gift from the Class of 1920,
he nevertheless did present a gift to
WPI which was in excess of $3,000.
The president of the graduating class,
Leonard Polizzotto, represented his
class and recalled some of the high-
lights of the class' four years at WPI.

The Class of 1917 Attendance Cup
was presented to the Class of 1920 for
the best attendance at the reunion on
a percentage basis. They had 35 of the
69 living members of their class in
attendance.

THE JOURNAL

A special award was then pre-
sented by Prof. Zepp. It was a trophy
with a bicycle rider on it and it was
presented to Edward R. Delano, '30.
An article on Mr. Delano, who rode a
bicycle from California to Worcester,
appears elsewhere in this issue. In
accepting the award, Mr. Delano com-
mented, "A lot of people in the West
and Midwest, who had never heard of
Worcester Tech, have heard of it now."

The final two items on the pro-
gram were the singing of the Alma
Mater, capably led by Lenny Poliz-
zotto and the Benediction, which was
given by Mr. Hall, '02.

But Reunion Day was not over for
many. Many attended the ROTC
commissioning ceremonies which were
held in Alden Memorial. The Com-
manding General of the U.S. Army's
Signal Center and Signal School at
Fort Monmouth, N.J., Brigadier Gen-
eral Richard C. Home, III presented
commissions to 40 members of the
graduating class. Others were to attend
class get-togethers. One class, the Class
of 1945, met at the Sheraton Yankee
Drummer Inn in Auburn for their 25th
reunion party and 36 members of their
class were in attendance.

And thus Reunion Day, 1970,
drew to a close for the alumni. Many
were to remain, however, for Baccalau-
reate and Commencement. But for
those who were leaving, it had been a
successful weekend. Seeing old friends,
recalling fond memories, making plans
for their next reunion had all been a
part of it.

But for the graduating seniors
Commencement Weekend was just be-
ginning. On Saturday night many
members of the class returned for the
annual dinner dance. It was held at the
Yankee Drummer Inn and was all a
part of the build-up to Commence-
ment Day which 265 seniors had only
dreamed about four — and for some,
five — years ago.

COMMENCEMENT DAY

The day began with the traditional
Baccalaureate Service in Alden Memo-
rial Hall at 10:00 A.M. The sermon

this year was delivered by Rev. Dr.
Wallace W. Robbins of the First Uni-
tarian Church of Worcester.

The long-awaited graduation hour
approached on Sunday afternoon as
those receiving degrees gathered in
front of Boynton Hall to form the
processional. A small percentage were
wearing armbands in protest but they
were only a very small number out of
the total of 265 candidates. Led by
Honorary Marshal, Prof. John P. van
Alstyne, WPI's Outstanding Teacher of
the Year, and by the Marshal, Dean
Richard F. Morton, the processional
proceeded across Earle Bridge and the
Quadrangle into Harrington Audito-
rium, followed by the faculty, admin-
istration, and trustees.

The invocation was given by the
Rev. Peter J. Scanlon, Catholic chap-
lain at WPI. The National Anthem
followed before President George W.
Hazzard introduced Dr. Thomas O.
Paine, Administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion, who delivered the principal
address.

He announced for the first time
that the United States is negotiating
with European countries on a plan to
launch and operate an orbiting scien-
tific laboratory by 1980. He said "I
have just returned yesterday (June 6)
from a week in Europe negotiating
with other nations to work with us" in
launching such a laboratory. If these
efforts come to fruition, he said, and
"if America maintains its momentum
in space, it will be possible for young
professors and their graduate students
to routinely travel back and forth to
do research in an international orbiting
laboratory before the end of the
decade of the seventies." He did not
elaborate on his negotiations or his
proposal for an orbiting laboratory.

He spent much of his time com-
paring what he called Squareland and
Potland. Excerpts from the remainder
of his address follow:

"It's a great pleasure to be with
you here today, for I have a personal
previous association with this great

school. During World War II a WPI
graduate who was a close friend and
shipmate, Ben Phelps, and I spent
many lonely hours at night on the
bridge of a submarine in the South-
west Pacific discussing the problems of
the world, and what we would do after
the war to improve things. Unfortu-
nately, I am the only one of the pair
who was able to undertake this. So I
feel a special responsibility here today,
and would like to dedicate my rather
offbeat remarks to Ben Phelps of the
Class of '41.

Ben always had a mischievous
twinkle in his eye. He had a tremen-
dous sense of humor, although techni-
cally, he was extremely sharp. I think
Ben's advice to me in speaking to you
would be 'For goodness sakes, don't
be pompous. Don't talk platitudes.
Say what's on your mind, and get a
little humor into it.'

Let me therefore address myself to
what I believe to be one of the most
fascinating actions in the world today:
the clash between two contemporary
social worlds, which for the sake of
discussion we can call the war between
'Potland' and 'Squareland'.

One antagonist is the world of
Squareland — the world you were born
and raised in — the world your parents
live in. The other, the world of Pot-
land, is not so easy to describe because
it is shadowy and shifting and partly
underground. Actually, each of these
lands is simply a state of mind, a world
view. Everyone knows the established
leaders of Squareland's government,
universities, corporations and
churches. They are about as lively as
their name implies: the pillars of soci-
ety. By its very nature, Potland is
much harder to describe, but for pur-
pose of illumination I'd like you to
imagine that Potland has the same
establishment structure as Squareland,
and nominate appropriate leaders to
help characterize this evanescent new
world.

The Supreme Court of Potland
would obviously consist not of 'nine
old men' but of seven swinging young

fHE JOURNAL

men — the Chicago Seven. They know
how to carry out a judicial hearing.
Potland's Secretary of Agriculture —
who'd radically change crop planting
— would be Dr. Timothy Leary. Then
Secretary of the Interior Jane Fonda's
chief concern would not be making
the Indians comfy on Aloatraz, but
printing enough 'Keep off the Grass'
signs — and you know what Smokey
the Bear would be smoking.

This hypothetical leadership list
provides a short and albeit exaggerated
description of Potland. Potland should
not be regarded as a silly subculture,
or a run-down hippie movement, but
as a full-fledged nation operating in
the midst of Squareland.

What provocations have driven
Potland into shrill battle with Squafe-
land? Fears of cultural domination by
Squareland, of economic reprisal, even
of genocide are mentioned. Potlanders
regard the triumphs of Squareland —
from its unprecedented economic
achievement to landing on the moon —
as arrogant assaults on its soul and
psyche. Intolerance and bigotry exist
on both sides. Disaffection on the
home front in Potland has led to the
classical response by its leaders. Per-
haps the excitement of living by plun-
der rather than the hard discipline of
constructive work plays a part. Since
Potland's economy is largely based on
foreign aid from Squareland, some
guilt and animosity toward the donor
are probably inevitable.

But in my view, all these explana-
tions are simplistic, and overlook the
most unforgivable and insulting provo-
cation of all on the part of Squareland.
This provocation is now operating
against young Potlanders in all indus-
trialized nations that have achieved
unprecedented productivity and
wealth. For Squareland today is ignor-
ing its young people's dreams and
aspirations and abilities. Squareland is
clearly failing to provide a clear chal-
lenge and opportunity to its young
men and women to aspire to great
human achievement in their vigorous
youth. This is indeed unforgivable —
neglect and boredom are the ultimate

insult, the worst provocation, and
ennui breeds revolution. Squareland
must rectify this, or its young will
emigrate to Potland and peace will be
hard to restore.

Up to now the principal impact of
the space program has been on Square-
land. The Aerospace business has be-
come America's largest manufacturing
industry. It and the computer industry
pay the world's highest wages, while
earning America's greatest trade dol-
lars overseas. Few Americans realize
that the Aerospace industry accounted
for 200% of the nation's favorable
balance of payments for the past two
years. Space age developments have
ushered in many dramatic advances
from low cost jet transportation to
global satellite communication and
weather observation systems. The
social effects are many: for example,
low cost jet transport has led to 'Se
habla espagnol' signs all over New
York City. Yet the greatest social
impact is still to come; the space age
has just begun. The new horizons that
have already been opened in science
and technology, however, provide
Squarelanders with increasing techno-
logical power and intellectual satisfac-
tion. Space developments will soon
give man the capability to intelligently
monitor and manage this planet's
entire biosphere, better utilizing the
earth's resources in the best interest of
all mankind. Beyond this lies the more
distant but inevitable day when man
will establish new colonies on other
worlds, extending the domain of
terrestrial life, and initiating entirely
new human cultures.

Although Potlanders value some of
the promises of space progress, such as
increasing international contacts,
cleaning up the biosphere, drastic re-
ductions in transportation and com-
munication costs, and increased leisure
time, they find little satisfaction in the
space program today. It is just too
square — too disciplined — too rational
for them. But in the long run space
advances will have a major impact on
the Potlanders. As we press forward
with the exploration and utilization of

space, we will open many challenging
new opportunities for young men and
women in their vigorous youth. As
previously discussed, this is of supreme
importance in settling the war. I can-
not say that our present cutback and
austere NASA program is providing
enough opportunities today for young
men and women. Many young people
have already benefited, though, and an
expanded space effort could do much
more. How could I be satisfied with
our present status, when there is an
excellent chance that soon I will be
sending the first grandfather to land
on the moon? Just think — an astro-
naut grandfather? He deserves to go —
but so do some of you graduating
today, and you could and should be
doing so. Some of you will go, and
long before you're grandfathers, too, if
America maintains its momentum in
space and we build the space stations
and rocket plane shuttles in the 1970's
that we now plan.

How will the war (between Square-
land and Potland) end? Since the
Squarelanders are in general of the
older generation, it is clear that the
younger Potlanders have an ultimate
weapon — the biological time bomb.
You will win out as the older genera-
tion eventually retires. But what a
hollow victory it will be! Suddenly a
new generation will appear in the
universities whom the Class of 1970
cannot understand.

But now, for the first time in
history, there is a new force that can
act in your favor. The space age is
really moving. It partly originated
right here on this campus with Robert
Goddard. And it will indeed open
swinging and challenging opportunities
at an unprecedented rate to captivate
bright and searching young minds. It
can give them fascinating pioneering
jobs worthy of their mettle. This is
true both in space and in many other
fields. The message we have brought
back from the moon is that America
can accomplish whatever it resolves to
do. Apollo must embolden us to tackle
our other problems with equal confi-
dence and energy.

THE JOURNAL

But don't ever try to completely
eliminate the Squareland-Potland war
from the human scene. You can't, and
anyway, this continuing uproar is the
essence of our richly diversified human
scene in the reasonably United States
of America."

Four honorary degrees were con-
ferred by Dr. William E. Hanson, '32,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Recipients of Honorary Doctor of
Engineering degrees were Dr. Paine,
the Commencement speaker and Dr.
Elmer W. Engstrom, Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Board of
Radio Corporation of America. Dr.
Elizabeth A. Wood, a specialist in
crystals at Bell Laboratories, and Dr.
Russell E. Train, Chairman of the
Nixon Administration's Council of En-
vironmental Quality received Honor-
ary Doctor of Science degrees. Follow-
ing the Honorary degrees, Dr. Hanson
presented certificates to the School of
Industrial Management.

President Hazzard, with the heads
of the degree-granting departments,
next presented Bachelor of Science
degrees to 265 undergraduates and
Master of Science degrees to 50 candi-
dates. The highest academic degree.
Doctor of Philosophy, was awarded to
nine candidates.

Next on the program was President
Hazzard's first message to a graduating
class. He said:

"It has been traditional atWPI for
the President to make a few parting
and exhorting remarks to the seniors.
Today, for the first time, I shall try
my hand at it but I wish to enlarge the
group of addressees to include parents.
For together we at WPI and your
parents at home have helped you
seniors become the educated people
you are at this moment. Together, we
as parents and as a college have tried
our best to fulfill our responsibilities,
to offer the opportunities for educa-
tion and the students to make full
utilization of these opportunities. And
now what?

I offer you two responsibilities
with the fervent hope that you are
successful in happily combining them.

These two are the responsibility for
full professional use of your education
in serving society and the responsi-
bility of being fully a citizen in a
democratic but complicated country.
In both cases I hope the high ethical
standards of engineers and scientists
will apply.

In this particular instant of history
it requires a steady hand and head to
combine these two responsibilities
effectively and constructively. You
have done so here as students, a fact of
which all of us are proud. Now I
specially ask you and your parents not
to lose sight of that second responsi-
bility of being a fully participative
citizen. How our country's leaders,
executive and congressional, proceed
will depend in great measure on the
thoughtful input from each of you.
Your efforts in written expression, in
support of your political candidates, in
conversation with friends and ac-
quaintances will provide the weight of
evidence leading to action — to ending

the war in Southeast Asia, to ending
racial discrimination at home, to grap-
pling honestly with environmental
problems to a rational balance be-
tween space and earth, to a livable
world.

In the tradition of the university

the rights of each person, all of us

goal, ladies and gentlemen, for the
graduates of WPI."

Upon completion of the Presi-
dent's message. Rev. Scanlon offered
the Benediction. Another group of
talented individuals, the 102nd of its
kind, had joined the ranks of alumni,
and as the sun appeared for the first
time during the long weekend the
traditional reception and picture-
taking began on the quadrangle as
another successful Commencement
ended.

ED DELANO, '30 :

CALIFORNIA TRAVELER

It's not often that any college or
university gets much publicity from
any of its reunion-connected activities.
In fact, it's seldom that reunion
activities receive any public notice.
Furthermore, very few people from
anywhere are physically capable of
performing such a feat.

Returning to his alma mater for
the first time in forty years, Edward
R. Delano, '30, not only did it the
hard way but he did it the long way.
Taking five weeks plus one-half of a
day to cover the 3,150 miles from his
home in Red Bluff, Calif, to
Worcester, Ed rode a bicycle all the
way! And in his travels he not only
received much publicity — and raised
eyebrows — for himself, but also a
large amount of publicity for his
college.

A grandfather seventeen times and
in exceptional physical condition for a
man of 65 years, Ed graduated from
WPI in 1930 with a BS degree in civil
engineering. He retired from the State
of California's Division of Highways
during the winter of 1970 after 37
years' service. At the time of his
retirement he was superintendent of
highway maintenance.

An experienced cyclist, Mr. Delano
is a member of the Northern California
Cycling Association. He rode while
attending WPI, but he did not resume
the sport until 1963 when he joined
the Amateur Bicycle League of
America with his son. He is the
California state champion, having won
the title three consecutive years. The
title is based on time trial events and
participants receive a handicap based
on age. Last summer, as a prelim to his
cross-country trip, he made a trip from
California to Missouri, averaging about
100 miles a day.

With an enthusiasm typical of a
much younger person, Ed recounted
some of the highlights of his trip after

he arrived in Worcester. He told stories
of riding in good weather and in bad
weather; in sunshine and in snow; of
keeping a look-out for dogs, and
sometimes having to outrun them; of
having to walk his bicycle up only two
hills during the entire trip (both in the
state of New York); of being ready to
"hit the road" at dawn every morning;
and of meeting a countless number of
people along the way, many of whom

offered him assistance.

On Sunday, June 7, Ed Delano
boarded a plane in Boston for the
return trip to California. With him',
neatly packed, was his Italian-built
bicycle that weighs only 26 pounds,
has 15 speeds, and costs over $300.
And thus Ed Delano returned home,
having added another outstanding
accomplishment to his career — and
ready to plan his next trip.

Ed Delano, '30, is greeted by Warren Zepp, '42, and Carl Backstrom, '30, along with some of
the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta.

YEARBOOK DEDICATED

The 1970 edition of The Peddler
has been dedicated to Prof. Kenneth

E. Scott, '48. A member of the Me-
chanical Engineering Dept., he has
been at WPI since he graduated from
WPI in 1948. He received an MS
degree from WPI in 1954.

The dedication read: "Occasion-
ally a faculty member lifts himself
above everyday routine. He becomes
involved with the student beyond the
standard mechanics of the classroom.
His main concern becomes that of the
student's overall welfare with a deep
concern for his future. It is such a
teacher to whom we dedicate the 1970
PEDDLER. . . Professor Kenneth E.
Scott."

TECHNIQUEST

The 32nd Annual Techniquest pro-
gram was held on the campus from
June 21 through June 27. Seventy-five
high school students were in attend-
ance, including one female, and they
represented 14 states, plus Puerto
Rico, and included one student from
Arizona. The academic portion, de-
signed to aid a high school student in
his selection of a field of study in
college, was coordinated by Dr. Ray-
mond R. Hagglund, '56, and was based
for the first time on the project
approach to learning. From all reports,
it was extremely well received. The
program was coordinated by Dean
William F. Trask.

THE JOURNAL

CLASS OF 1974

In a year when several private
colleges fell short of their projected
class size for incoming freshmen, WPI
has met its goal. Next year's freshman
class will total about 545 students.
Included in this total will be 24 coeds,
bringing the number of coeds on
campus in the fall to a total of 47.
There will be nine black students in
the class, including three girls.

The geographical distribution will
include representatives from 29 states
and seven foreign countries, and there
will be 27 sons of alumni, 22 grand-
sons of alumni, and one granddaughter
of an alumnus.

UNDEFEATED FOOTBALL TEAMS

The Poly Club and Athletic Dept.
have planned a reunion for October 9
and 10 for the only two undefeated
football teams in the history of the
college. Invited to return to WPI for
the special festivities will be the un-
defeated teams of 1938 and 1954,
who had identical 6-0 records. Plans
include a social hour and dinner party
on Friday evening, October 9, and a
football game on Saturday, October
10.

"I am hopeful that all the living
members of these two great teams will
be able to return the weekend of
October 9 and 10," said Athletic
Director Bob Pritchard. "It should be
a fun weekend for everyone, renewing
old friendships and recalling the great
plays that almost made some squad
members All-Americans. It should be a
great time."

The 1938 team was lead by Cap-
tain Carl Lewin, '39, and the 1954
team was led by Co-captains Pete
Horstmann, '55, and Ed Bouvier, '55.

NEW DORM IN PLANNING STAGE

With the need for additional un-
dergraduate housing a constant prob-
lem, WPI has undertaken initial steps
to find a solution. A committee of
undergraduates and faculty members
have been studying during recent

months the needs and desires of stu-
dents regarding residence facilities.
Based on the studies, preliminary plans
have been drawn up and recently
preliminary application was made by
the college to the Federal Housing and
Urban Development Dept. (HUD) for
funds to undertake such a project.

WICNON AIR

The college FM radio station,
WICN, has continued to be on the air
during the summer vacation months.
The station, broadcasting at 90.5 on
the FM dial, is jointly operated and
managed by students from WPI and
Holy Cross with transmitting facilities
in Alden Memorial.

The station has operated during
the summer months on a limited basis.
In the faH they intend to expand their
programming, which is basically educa-
tional, to include more classical music
and possibly football game coverage.
The station, which can be received
throughout Worcester County and
beyond, can broadcast stereo pro-
grams, and they welcome comments
from alumni and listeners.

REORGANIZATION APPROVED

The administrative reorganization of the Alumni Associ-
ation, which has been discussed, debated, and drafted
during recent months, primarily by a committee headed by
Bradley E. Hosmer, '61, was given unanimous approval by
the Alumni Council on June 5, 1970 and by the Alumni
Association at its Annual Meeting on June 6, 1970. The
reorganization move had been strongly backed by the
college administration, headed by President George W.
Hazzard and Vice President — University Relations, Olavi
H. Halttunen, '45.

The reorganization vote approved the Plan subject to
final revisions of the Constitution and By-Laws. From the
preamble to the Recommendations, the reorganization is
"to obtain a more closely knit but independent Alumni
Organization to work in full harmony with the (College)
Administration for the betterment of WPI". In the past the
Alumni Association has been a separate organization and
while all of its activities have been for the College, it has
not actually been a part of the College. Now it becomes
actively integrated into the College structure with common
goals and budgetary planning.

Some of the key points to the reorganization are:

The Alumni Secretary, Warren B. Zepp, '42 will report
to WPI's Vice President — University Relations, Olavi H.
Halttunen, '45 for administrative purposes. The Alumni
Secretary will continue to be elected by the Alumni
Council, but now the selection will be based on the
recommendations of both the Alumni and the College.
Four meetings of the Alumni Executive Committee and
members of WPI's staff have been scheduled annually for
the discussion of "matters of mutual concern."

Annual alumni fund raising is now the responsibility of

the WPI Development office. The Alumni Fund Board will
continue to share the responsibility for the over-all methods
of individual solicitation. In line with this, all fund raising
records are being consolidated into one office to facilitate
operations and the College will now bear the expense of
developing and maintaining the record system.

Beginning with the Fall, 1970 edition of the Journal, a
full-time publications specialist will write and edit the
magazine. The Alumni Secretary, however, will maintain
editorial control over each issue. Thus the Alumni Office
will now be relieved of the task of preparing the copy for
each issue.

The Association will form working committees to meet
with members of the WPI community to work on programs
of mutual interest. Possible committee assignments exist in
the areas of student recruiting, undergraduate affairs,
athletics, library development, corporate relations, place-
ment, trustee selection, publications and curriculum devel-
opment.

The last item of the approved recommendations states,
"Should a conflict between these recommendations and the
current By-Laws and Constitution exist, the recommenda-
tions will take precedence for a period not to exceed one
year from the date of adoption of this amendment, by
which time the necessary By-Laws and Constitution
changes, to remove conflicts, will be presented for possible
Alumni Association approval."

The recommendations as approved are simply a means
to an end. They are designed to promote better working
relations between and amongst the College and its alumni.
With this reorganization the Alumni will be better able to
help the College meet its educational objectives.

ANNUAL ALUMNI FUND REPORT- 1969-70

Dear Alumni and Friends of WPI :

Congratulations! We have set another record for total contributions to the Annual Alumni Fund. A year ago we set a
record for gifts of S119.822.00, and we surpassed that this year with a final total of $134,011.79. In addition, 514,391.88
was contributed by corporate matching gift programs making total contributions to the 1969-70 Annual Alumni Fund a
record-setting $148,403.67.

The only disappointing note to the program was our low percentage of participation. Only 32.0% of our alumni
contributed to the Fund, a disappointing figure in view of our goal of achieving 50% participation this year.

Contributions by alumni are an important source of revenue for colleges, particularly for private colleges. It is through the
efforts of faithful alumni that a high-quality education can continue to be provided for WPI's students.

On behalf of the Alumni Fund Board and the entire solicitation team, thank you for your continued support of your alma
mater - Sincerely,

Irving James Donahue, Jr., '44

Chairman

1969-70 Annual Alumni Fund

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL
U. N. MEETING

For the second time in as many
years the New York and Northern
New Jersey Alumni Chapters staged a
joint effort and held a meeting at the
United Nations building in New York
City. The guest speaker this year was
Israeli Ambassador Moshe Lashem
who spoke about the Middle East
situation. About 165 people attended
the meeting.

A unique part of this meeting was
the attendance of eight WPI under-
graduates. Included were three juniors,
one sophomore and four freshmen,
including two coeds. Overnight accom-
modations for these people were
graciously provided by Helge S. John-
son, '24, and Thomas B. Graham, '38
at their homes in Scarsdale, N.Y.

Arrangements for the meeting
were once again capably handled by
Stephen J. Spencer, '49 with the assist-
ance of New York Chapter President,
Spike Vrusho, '57, Northern New

Jersey Chapter President, Sang Ki Lee,
'60 and Victor E. Kohman, '43. Prior
to the 1969 meeting only one outside
group, the Harvard Business School
Alumni, had been able to arrange a
meeting at the U.N.

Upon arriving at the United Na-
tions, guests were able to tour the
complex prior to the social hour and
buffet dinner. Following the dinner,
Ambassador Leshem addressed the
gathering. He began lightly by talking
about some of the ineffectiveness of
the U.N. and the ability of the U.N. to
handle a hot potato long enough for it
to become a cold one.

In a more serious vein, the Am-
bassador noted some of the back-
ground of the Jews as a race, and as a
nation. Throughout his speech he
characterized the Israelis as a strong
group, capable of carrying on their
own affairs, while acknowledging that
their losses, percentage-wise, would be.

and are, high. He was careful to point
out that they would not ask for U.S.
military involvement. It was his view-
point that the conflict must be solved
directly by the parties involved
through peaceful negotiations. War-
fare, he said, leads to military arrange-
ments which obviously don't last. In
another important point, he expressed
his fears that increasing Soviet involve-
ment will only bring about a political
confrontation between the Soviet
Union and the United States, a devel-
opment which he said he hoped would
be avoided.

The Ambassador proved to be an
excellent speaker. He was brief and to
the point, showing on several occa-
sions an excellent sense of humor. It
was another well-planned effort by the
New York and Northern New Jersey
Chapters and a successful venture once
again.

Ambassador Leshem speaks

to the large crowd.

Today, not a rocket or missile goes aloft, not a
space vehicle is in orbit, that does not owe its
principles to the genius of Robert H. Goddard.
His contributions have been the most important
technical achievements of our times.

A dedicated rocket pioneer and a prolific
writer, Dr. Goddard reported regularly and in
detail to the Smithsonian Institution, The Daniel
and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, and the
Trustees of Clark University— papers and re-
ports that form the backbone of this important
work. Its contents, including his military com-
muniques, have been selected from the more
than 6,000 pages of material that Goddard left
at the time of his death.

The Daniel and Florence Guggenheim
Foundation financed the great task of collect-
ing, selecting, and editing these papers (in-
cluding key diaries and sketches that often
accompanied them), to present, in nearly com-
plete form, the professional writing that
Goddard did throughout his long and im-
mensely productive career.

library of rocketry and astronautics."

REUNION ROUNDUP

1910

CLASS OF 1910

Not daunted by an all-day rain, our
10+60 reunion got off to a good start with a
social gathering Friday at 3 p.m. in Morgan
Hall, followed at 7 p.m. by a cocktail hour
and dinner of steaks and lobsters, plus the
usual fillers, and seasoned by tales of sixty

years of varied experiences, some of them
thrillers. The striking centerpiece on the
table was a replica of our sundial, made by
Millard Clement. Millard also presented his
stirring poem: "Your Dial Speaks Again".
At the table were Carl Atherton, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Barney, Mr. and Mrs. William

1911

Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Clement, Allan
Forbes, Alvan Grout, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Hanff and Oliver Jacobs.

A tour of the campus was most
rewarding. Its well-placed, well-designed
buildings, beautifully landscaped with
evergreens, gorgeous Rhododendrons and
Azalea shrubs in full bloom; and the huge
oak trees which have stood the sixty years
better than most of us. Carl so aptly
expressed our feelings when he said, "It
looks like WPI is in a state of affluence."

With the table cleared, we went into
executive session and elected officers to
serve until the next get-together. Ed Hanff
thought that the ten years which he has
served was enough. We thought that the
salary (S0.00 minus postage used) was
bothering him. But even when we offered to
double the salary and make it retroactive, he
wouldn't budge, so the following were
elected: President, Fred Hewes; Vice
Presidents, Millard Clement and William
Bell; Secretary, Charles Barney. After more
visiting we separated, most of us to spend
the night at Daniels Hall, where we found
first-class accommodations: new linen on
comfortable beds, fine ventilation, and
everything clean and neat.

We awoke Saturday morning to another
day of rain. Breakfast in Morgan Hall at
8:30 and registration at 9, where we
received our badges and complimentary
luncheon tickets. Here we were met by
George and Mrs. Martin who were with us
for the remainder of the day for class
pictures, Alumni Reunion Luncheon, etc.

CLASS OF 1911

The Class of 1911 met on Friday, June
5 at Sterling Inn for their annual reunion.

Four members and three wives attended.
Mr. & Mrs. Dave Carpenter, Mr. & Mrs.
Hugh Reed, Mr. & Mrs. Clarence (Bill) Taft
and Howard Chace who came alone since
Mrs. Chace was in the hospital recovering
from a heart attack.

A short business meeting was held with
secretary and treasurer reports. Our bank
balance was thought to be more than
needed for current expenses so it was voted
to withdraw $150.00 and present it to the
Alumni Office to be added to the Student
Aid Fund established at our 50th reunion in
1961.

An excellent dinner was enjoyed by all
as usual, thanks to Mrs. Rose Mahoney who
had a table set for us in a small private
room.

Letters and greetings were read from
several class members unable to attend.

Next year will be our 60th and we hope
to have a good attendance, so any of you
who can, please plan to join us.

Howard P. Chace, President

1912

CLASS OF 1912

At the Friday evening dinner at the
Marlboro Country Club were: Joseph and
Helen Granger, Eugene and Gertrude
Powers, Henry and Madeline Rickett, Leon
Treadwell, Edward Tucker, and Harrison
Brown. These nine are the same as those of
last year with the exception of Margaret
Treadwell who was confined at home as a
result of an accident.

The dinner was brightened by a tele-
phone call from Eric Benedict, in Washing-
ton for the graduation of a grandson. He
had written why he could not attend, but
promised to be at our 60th in 1972 if he has
to walk up from Cape Cod. He repeats his
expression that he is "disgustingly healthy".

The business session was held at the
home of our President, Joe Granger, but the
business was little more than making sure
that the Secretary-Treasurer was on the job.

With the deaths of Ralph Norton, Harry
Button and Vaughn Griffin, our member-
ship is now 34. The average age is 80.9
ranging from 79.3 to 85.7.

The book, "Theory of Sets" by N.
Bourbaki, which we donated to the Gordon
Library last year, was on display. A glance
through its pages aroused our sympathy for
students who now have to study modern
mathematics.

S2000 was awarded last year from the
income of the Herbert Foster Taylor
Student Aid Fund. A little more than that
amount still remains available.

Fewer than usual were the letters re-
ceived from members. Besides Benedict,
those who explained their absence were

Roger Towne, Jim Shea, and Harland
Stuart. Harland's reason was the lack of T
and E (time and energy) after a five day
Baptist convention, working with 4H, and
other forthcoming events. August Reinhard
sent a card from Florida in February. Carl
Norton writes he is still playing golf. Mrs.
Cunningham in Florida repeated how much
Jim thought of the 1912 class.

In April, a birthday card to James
Hogan came back unopened marked "de-
ceased", but a letter to the town clerk was
returned with a note, "Mr. James Hogan is

still very much alive". So we are still
counting him in.

But the most prolific writer is Nibs
(Ernest) Taylor of Conneaut, Ohio. Refer-
ring to the electric hoe which I mentioned
in the Spring Journal, he explained that,
after hearing of such a device, he travelled
up and down the Nickel Plate Railroad
hunting for one, only to find it in Conneaut.
He will prepare a diagram of it at some
future date to assure me it does exist. He
claims superior knowledge as he is three
days older than I, so I accept his fatherly
advice.

Harrison G. Brown, Secretary

CLASS OF 1913

An informal gathering of 1913 men and
wives was held at The Winchendon School,
Winchendon, Mass., June 4th and 5th 1970,
making it our 57th reunion.

Events started with a social hour and
dinner Thursday evening and although
Friday turned out to be rainy, everyone
kept busy with either trips into the country,
golf or shuffleboard. Another social hour
and dinner were enjoyed Friday evening,
followed by interesting discussions of past
events and future plans, such as getting
together at the same place next year.

Present were: George Chick, George
Graham, Leon Rice, Arthur Burleigh,
Farquhar Smith, and their wives, Ed Dahill
and Harry Lindsay. Allen Gridley joined
some of us at Worcester on Saturday morn-
ing.

Letters or messages were received from
several members of the class, including
Norris Pease, Fred Carpenter, Al Lorion,

CLASS OF 1915

There were five members of 1915 and
two wives that gathered at the Sheraton-
Yankee Drummer Motor Inn in Auburn.
They were: Charles Hurd and Mrs. Hurd,
■Harrison Hosmer and Mrs. Hosmer, Carroll
Lawton, Ulric Lebourveau and Frank
: Forsberg. We had a wonderful visit together
over a good dinner, in quiet surroundings,
and it went on from 7 p.m. to II p.m. Friday
evening.

On Saturday, we were joined at the
Alumni luncheon by Fred Church and Mrs.
Church, Everett Hutchins and Earle
Andrews.

Frank Forsberg, President

CLASS OF 1920

Thirty-seven members, twenty-nine
wives and two guests were present for our
50th anniversary dinner at Franklin Manor
on Friday night. Rain spoiled our plans for
an afternoon outside in the garden, but a
long session in the cocktail lounge afforded

ian excellent opportunity to get reac-
quainted with old friends; it was so crowded
that you couldn't turn around without
bumping into another classmate.

The following members and wives at-
tended our Reunion: Arvid Anderson, Mai
and Dorothy Arthur, Chet Aldrich, Fritz
and Florence Bauder, Larry and Eleanor
Bean, Harold and Elizabeth Berg, Ray and
Stella Bishop, George and Charlotte Blais-
dell. Herb and Jessie Brooks, Eliot Burbank,
Fred Butler, Norman and Mary Firth,
Charlie and Dorothy Gammal, Milt and
Florence Garland, Paul Harriman, Dick and
Pauline Heald, Ray Heath, Jack and Anne
Holmes, Harold and Agnes Hunt, Helmer
and Ethyl Johnson, Burt Marsh, Ray and
Edith Meader, Harry and Jeannette Merritt,
Jerry and Anna O'Neil, Bob and Sophie
Peterson, Mai and Martha Quimby, Al
Rienstra, Saul and Eva Robinson, Hobart
and Erma Sanborn, Baalis Sanford, Homer
Stevens, Harry and Lida Tenney, Ernie and
Signe Thompson, Henry and Marion Town-
send, George and Elizabeth White, Albert
and Florence Woodward, Guy and Marjorie
Woodward.

Letters of regret that they could not be

■ here were received from Jack Burns who
went to West Point after one year at WPI
and is now a retired General living in
Tacoma, Washington; from Lawrence Divoll
who went to Annapolis and is now a retired
Captain living in Los Altos, California; from
Harold Boutelle who is moving into a new

home in Amherst, Mass; from Albert Shaw
who worked for Worthington Corp. for 42
years — he says he and Marge are in
excellent health but had a long-standing
commitment to attend the graduation of
their twin grandchildren in North Carolina
— they live at 187-87th Avenue, North, St.
Petersburg, Florida 33702 and would be
pleased to hear from any classmates living in
Florida; from Les and Gladys Wightman,
whose retirement started June 2, a long
telegram from their new home, 5320
Mustang Way, Carmichael, California, with
heated swimming pool, where they would
be pleased to see any friends who might be
out that way.

If there were a prize for traveling the
longest distance, it would have to go to Mai
and Dorothy Arthur who came from Cali-
fornia by way of Europe, arriving back in
Worcester June 3rd.

After a well-prepared and expertly
served dinner, Mai Arthur, our Class Presi-
dent, took over, conducted a brief business
meeting and explained the program for the
Alumni Meeting on Saturday. After being
away so many years, he led the singing of
the Alma Mater, first instructing those of us
who have been around this area all these
years, just how it should be sung. Mai had
done his homework.

We have several expert photographers
who take marvelous pictures of their travels
and who showed them after dinner. Guy
Woodward provided the projection equip-
ment and showed pictures of large, immacu-
lately maintained estates in Virginia, the
Botanical Gardens in Norfolk and fields and
streams alive with dogwood; also beautiful
wild-life scenes in Maine, New Hampshire,

Vermont and Massachusetts. He also showed
pictures of damaged and worn antique
furniture which they pick up. Guy does the
physical restoring necessary and Marg does
the finishing to make stunningly beautiful
and usable show-pieces.

Paul Harriman had just returned from a
tour of the World's Fair in Tokyo and
showed slides of the major exhibits, with
particular emphasis on the large, transparent
spheres suspended from an overhead track
running around the entire exhibition
grounds, each sphere seating several passen-
gers and rotating slowly as it moves along
the overhead track, thus affording the
passengers an unobstructed view of all areas
of the Fair.

Hobart Sanborn showed beautiful pic-
tures of their automobile trip thru the
Canadian Rockies in the summer with the
temperature comfortable and the sun
shining, but ice and snow everywhere from
the mountain peaks right down to the road.
A magnificent summer trip for them — they
spend the winters in Florida now — but not
for me, I still shovel snow and chop ice all
winter!

Jack Holmes had put together a series of
slides from each of our reunions since
graduation. Some classmates shown are no
longer with us and we miss them very much.
Those of us still around are not as agile as
the pictures showed. That beautiful golf
swing follow-thru of twenty-five years ago
has been lost somewhere along the way.
These pictures made us all feel so old that
we adjourned.

The moderate rain on Friday turned
into a downpour on Saturday, necessitating
the abandonment of all outdoor Alumni

Day activities. We joined the Fifty-Year
Associates at their meeting in Daniels Hall at
10:30. All other activities were confined to
Morgan Hall which was so crowded that any
organized activity was impossible. Our
colorful vests which were intended for hot,
outdoor weather did not show up so well in
a crowded room, but they should look
better in the Class Picture.

At the Alumni Luncheon we had an
opportunity to hear a discussion of the
reorganization of Alumni activities which
has been recommended by an Alumni Com-
mittee after intensive study and will be
reported in detail elsewhere.

We had an opportunity to hear President
George Hazzard and to receive individual
Fifty-Year Certificates from him.

Mai Arthur presented the 1920 Class
Gift of over ten thousand dollars to Presi-
dent Hazzard. Since this was entirely volun-
tary with no personal solicitation, we are
very proud of the generous response.

We also took the Attendance Cup with
51% of our members present and Mai
Arthur accepted it on behalf of the Class
with very appropriate words of apprecia-
tion.

We then went our way in the rain with
the hope that we may all meet again in
1975.

Fred Butler, Secretary

1930

CLASS OF 1925

The Class of 1925 had a very small
turn-out this year for their 45th Reunion.

The Reunion activities were arranged by
Roy Payne and the first activity of the
weekend was a dinner party at the Worces-
ter Country Club. On Saturday, the mem-
bers of the Class who were in attendance
participated in the Reunion activities on the
campus.

The Class is looking forward to its 50th
Reunion in 1975.

CLASS OF 1930

One of the largest turnouts in years for
the class of 1930 showed up for the
get-together and dinner at the Worcester
Country Club the afternoon and evening of
June 5, 1970. Four played golf as the
weather was not the best.

One hundred seventeen cards were sent
out and we had replies from seventy-five,
which I do not consider a good return.
Thirty-four members signed up for dinner,
but due to sickness, etc. only thirty-one
showed up. Twenty-six wives and four
guests were present.

After a delicious steak dinner, the new
President of WPI, Dr. Hazzard. gave an
interesting talk after which our feature

speaker. Professor Wellman, retired from the
M.E. Department, gave a most interesting
talk on the good old days from 1908 till
1926. Stories and even a song or two
brought the memories of those years back
to us.

Dan O'Grady, our nominating chairman,
submitted the slate for the next five years
of: "Charlie" Fay for President, Gene
Center for Vice President and Carl Back-
strom for Secretary-Treasurer. They were
quickly voted in before they could change
their minds.

Several people were unable to attend the
reunion for one reason or another, and their
letters or remarks made on the return cards
were read to the group.

Two of our class came back for the first
time in forty years. They were Bob Hollick
and wife and "Ed" Delano, both from
California. Ed Delano did it the hard way,
by bicycle, being thirty-one days en route.
(See the story about him elsewhere in the
Journal).

After our dinner meeting, dancing was
enjoyed by many along with the class of
1940.

Saturday the rain still came down and
the class picture was held inside. We all had
plastic white hats with 1930 on them and
made quite a group.

After the annual Alumni luncheon,
thirty-five members and wives went to
Charlie Fay's home in Sterling where we
enjoyed a real good get-together over late
afternoon refreshments, and it was a fitting
way to close out the 40th reunion.

Thank you, Charlie and Ingrid, for the
use of your home.

THE JOURNAL

Plans have already been started for our
45th and 50th reunions and also the class
gift. You will be hearing about these later
this year.

The following members were present
either at the Worcester Country Club on
Friday or the Alumni Luncheon on Satur-
day, most of them at both:

Henry Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Back-
strom, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Center, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Bennett, "Wally" Carlson, Mr.

CLASS OF 1935

Thirty-three members of the Class of
1935 enjoyed a very pleasant evening at The
Old Mill in Fitchburg on Friday evening,
June 5. After a delicious buffet-style dinner,
our class Vice President, Marsh Dann, acted
as master of ceremonies, giving everyone a
chance to expound on his accomplishments
over the past thirty-five years. I think one
could say our greatest success in life was the
number of children and grandchildren by
the members with the able support of their
respective wives. A few of the members
were sporting beards, mustaches or both,
but there seemed to be a scarcity of hair
rather than an excessive amount of it. Allan
Hardy won the honor of having the young-
est child, Christopher, 12 years old. Jo

1940

Jodaitis had the greatest number of grand-
children - six. Lester Libby of Los Altos
Hills, California came the greatest distance.

A short business meeting was held and
Marsh Dann was elected President with
Allan Hardy as Vice President. Gordon
Swift was elected chairman of the 1975
reunion. Jack Healy showed some films
taken at WPI back in 1932-1933 which
proved most amusing.

The 1970 reunion committee with Ted
Cole as chairman are to be congratulated on
a job well done. Booklets with a complete
class roster were presented to each member
with Len Humphrey the editor, aided by
Jean Wiley who designed the cover. Those
members fortunate enough to attend are as
follows: Mark Abelson, Austin Coates, Ted
Cole, Ed Cronin, Marsh Dann, Phil Dean,
Joe Glasser, Ray Granger, Jim Gushaw, Pret
Hadley, Al Hardy, Fran Harrington, Jack
Healy, Len Humphrey, Jo Jodaitis, Joe
Johnson, Rog Lawton, Hal LeDuc,. Les

CLASS OF 1940

Forty-three classmates and wives
gathered June 5-7 for our 30th reunion.
Activities began on Friday at Worcester
Country Club with lunch, bowling, golf and
a tour of the Worcester Craft Center —
followed by a Dinner/Program/Dance until
midnight and beyond.

Ray Forkey served as Master of Ceremo-
nies and introduced College President, Dr.
George W. Hazzard, who outlined major
college changes during the past year and
indicated further innovations in the years
ahead. Dr. Al Schweiger (Honorary Class-
mate) and Phyllis joined us for the evening
with Al reminiscing interesting past times
and updating certain Institute programs.

Treasurer, Frank Crosby, reported a
balance in our account of $238 and a charge
of S12 per person for the evening and
costumes. Frank also announced a total of
S24.829 in our Wat Tyler Cluverius Class of
1940 Scholarship Fund with the income of
about S1000 per year going to student aid.
After discussion, it was voted unanimously
to promote the doubling of this fund during
the next 10 years through contributions by
the Class of 1940 above and beyond the
regular Alumni Fund.

A moment of silence was observed for
deceased members during the past five
years: Dan Rosenthal, Ken Fowler. Walt
Graham and Ben Lambert.

Historian Fritz Johanson reported on
the 68 returned questionnaires.

Clark Goodchild displayed the variety of
class reunion decorations of parasols, sun-
flowers, headband-feathers and balloons.
Ken Blaisdell distributed some 40 door
prizes. Also in attendance were our two
trustees, Ray Forkey and Howard Freeman.
Alumni President, Bob Higgs, outlined WPI
Association activities of the past year.

Each attendee gave a thumbnail sketch
of his present activities. The most spectacu-
lar member was bearded Rolfe Johnson who
flew in from Milwaukee in his own plane.
Randy Whitehead entertained at the piano.

Others in attendance included Frank
Gustafson, Bob Hewey, Dave Kuniholm,
Bob Dunklee, Russ Lovell, Dick Messinger,
Art Morin, John Peters, Mike Sadick, Tarry
Terkanian, Ev Smith and Fran Stone.

CLASS OF 1945

The 25th anniversary reunion brought
36 members of the Class of 1945, most of
them with their wives, to the celebration at
the Yankee Drummer Inn in Auburn on
June 6, following the Alumni Day activities
on the campus.

The class voted to give its anniversary
gift to WPI for the purchase of library
books. George Kennedy served as master of
ceremonies during the presentation of prizes
for several categories of unique accomplish-
ments. Included was the first presentation
of the 1945 "Oh My Goddard" award to

Anson Fyler who earlier in the day had
been presented the Alumni Association's
Goddard Award. The small ceramic trophy
with the finger grip handle was duly in-
scribed with a message indicating that we
feel he is still just one of the boys.

Statistics gathered before the reunion,
with sixty members responding, gave a
picture of pure "Establishment". All who
replied have married, and only one reported
a divorce and remarriage. The average '45
has 3.3 children, lives in a single family
house in a community of 50,000 or less,
owns two cars and participates in commu-
nity or political activities. More than half
have never smoked or gave it up. The
complete statistics are available in an anni-
versary yearbook available from Roger Perry
at WPI.
