The Bell System provides a constantly improving service at the least cost consistent with financial safety. This means that it pays only reasonable regular dividends and devotes all earnings beyond that to the extension and improvement of the service.

This has been the practice for half a century, with the result that the public has doubled its use of Bell telephones in the last ten years.

THOMAS ALVA EDISON

Masterful and beautiful tributes have been written and said throughout every corner of the world in loving and appreciative respect for Thomas Alva Edison—and all too few and feeble, the authors will aver though they spoke their souls as so truly they should and would.

While his technical but practical achievements all but transcended the imagination, the master builder of civilized progress touched the hearts and the homes of the humblest, as truly as it did the great, and the unheard thoughts of the multitudes do most surely carry their grateful messages, also, through the brightening of their countenances, to the spirit of the achiever.

The technological world and technologists, in particular, have been directed toward many and great scientific truths through the untiring industry of Thomas A. Edison who lives on, through his life and works, as an inspiration to all.

NOW IS More than ever before, perhaps, our T H E T I M E Alumni, students, and other friends are faced with conditions that test their "never say die" spirit for Georgia Tech, and it is heartening to notice how the ever loyal are behind that truly game team of light youngsters who are giving their all on the field despite an unusual run of luck and an extremely hard schedule.

College officials, the coaching staff, the team, alumni and students feel defeat keenly; their hearts are with the Gold and White, of course, and it is quite difficult to get adjusted after a long period of victories that have been Georgia Tech's glory during even the relatively short period from 1916 to date. By virtue of real schedules and outstanding inter sectional opponents, in addition, Tech's football teams have won two National Championships during that time, and were so rated, and they held Southern Championships in 1916, 1 7 , 1 8 , 21, '22, '27 and '28; though tied several times, were undefeated in 1923. Eight great years out of the last fifteen is a record that very few in the entire country can even come near approaching.

The foregoing is given not for reflected glory, but for the information it contains and the hope that it be borne in mind with the idea of "putting out" more than ever before, like the students are now doing, to cheer the team along. If possible follow them to Phil-

HOME COMING A N D As announced in the October FLORIDA NOV. 21 issue of this publication, the annual Georgia Tech Home Coming for the alumni, their families and friends, will be held on Saturday, November 21, the day of the football game between Tech and Florida, and a big attendance is anticipated.

The Florida game is always colorful and as it attracts a throng of alumni and other visitors each year, the plan of having home coming on the day of the "JacketGator" clash is the one most favored during the alternate seasons when Tech plays Georgia in Athens.

A good home coming luncheon was served at the Tech Dining Hall last fall for a reasonable charge and, this year, the cost will be even less than ever before.

A blank is printed on the next page and it is asked that you use it now for your reservations. Cancellations can be made, of course, if something develops to keep you from attending.

In addition to the spirited general attendance, official reunions are scheduled for the classes of 1891, '96, 1901, '06, '11, '16, '21, '26 and '31 and members of the classes just before and following the foregoing will hold their unofficial gatherings. Class secretaries and individual members are especially requested to start activities right away for reunions second to none.

Plenty of parking space will be available at luncheon time and Tech buttons will be given to all in attendance, so the festivities won't begin to cost as much as a regular luncheon and, too, the "Jacket" orchestra will be present to help you "Ramble."

Encourage your young but game team, greet your new President, Robert T. Jones, Jr., and meet the other loyal followers, at this time particularly.

Inquire locally about special railroad rates and MAKE ALL RESERVATIONS NOW. Bring the whole family and any friend and be present promptly at 12:00 noon, November 21, at Tech's new Dining Hall across the way from Grant Field, on Techwood Drive. LET'S GET 'EM TECH. adelphia and meet with the Philadelphia and New York alumni at the Ben Franklin Hotel on November 14. Return for Home Coming, go to Athens, and see the entire schedule through and remember they will come through. If we go down, we will always go down with our colors flying and when we win we will dip a salute, as of yore, to our opponents.

Blue Print Wins Cup For Second Year

THE YEAR BQQK CUP

The 1931 edition of the Blue Print, well known college annual of Georgia Tech, was highly honored by the National Scholastic Press Association recently when the huge cup was again presented to the school for the best annual in its division. This is the second successive year that Georgia Tech has been so honored. A third successive year would make the cup a permanent possession of the school The Blue Print, under the editorship of Fred Stephenson, with Randy Whitfield as business manager and Jimmy Griffith as art editor, acquired a total of 900 points out of a possible 1,000. It also retains the distinguished honor of being the only school in the South of college classification to receive honorable mention of any kind.

The Blue Print was awarded the cup after a close race with the "Dome" of Notre Dame, which was awarded second prise. Stanford University was third.

Dr. Brittain, who was highly pleased last year at the fine work done by the boys responsible for the 1930 Blue Print, has good reason to be dcubly proud of the boys who have repeated the achievement.

Gordon Wells, who, on account of the numerous important positions he holds is quite well known and popular both among the students and faculty, will be the editor of the 1932 Blue Print. Fred Lester will hold down the business manager position, and Jimmy Griffith will again be the art editor. Due to Well's success in various other activities, and also in aiding last year's publication, and Jimmy Gritffih's exceedingly fine work last year, we have high hopes as to the success of the 1932 Blue Print.

PROFESSOR SPARKS RESIGNS TO HEAD TECH EVENING SCHOOL Professor George M. Sparks, for the past several years professor in the Commerce Department of Georgia Tech, resigned his position in order to devote his entire time to the Georgia Tech Evening School of Commerce, at the beginning of this school year. The Evening school was founded to give the advantage of a college education to those students not in a position to attend the day sessions. Professor Sparks' untiring efforts in the founding and promoting of this institution, together with the earnest aid of the Tech faculty, alumni, and Atlanta business men, have resulted in the creation of one of the most modern and beneficial institutions of its kind in the entire country.

The genial leader will be greatly missed in the Commerce School, but his transfer to the night school does not mean that he will cease to exert his influence on the school as a whole.

Today the rapidly growing Evening School has an enrollment of over 600 students and, with its new building, has provided for a rapid increase in the future.

Besides Professor Sparks, others of the Tech faculty teaching in the night school are Miss Cheatham, Professors, Sanders, Warren, McClellan, Winn, Blanton, Von Trebra, and Brewster. It is the wish of all that the new Dean of the Evening School will meet with every success in his ever-expanding institution.

BOBBY JONES' PORTRAIT PRESENTED TO " Y " The presentation of a large picture of Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., president of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association, to the " Y " club by the Tech " Y " Cabinet was a feature of the first meeting of the Y. M. C. A. organization.

Howard Moffat, president of the Tech " Y " Cabinet, presented the picture of Bobby to the " Y " club on behalf of the Cabinet. It was received by Edgar Morrison and then dedicated to the Tech Y. M. C. A. in which building it will be hung.

The picture was enlarged by a special process to make a very striking likeness of Tech's justly famous alumnus. It is forty inches tall and thirty inches across, and such a portrait is an interesting asset of the Tech Y. M. C. A. and the student body.

NEW CO-OP DORMITORY OCCUPIED The new Cloudman Co-Op Dormitory located on Techwood Drive has just been completed and is now occupied by co-operative students. Work was begun on the building at the close of school last year, and every effort was made to hasten construction. With its completion the block along Techwood Drive opposite the stadium is now one of the beauty spots of the campus. The style of the building is English Collegiate, and in ensemble with Harris, Brown, and the dining hall, presents a typical English Collegiate front for the entire block.

The new dormitory has room for 128 boys, and also an apartment for Professor McDaniel, head of the Co-Op Department. The rooms closely correspond to those of Harris and Brown dormitories and have, if anything, better health facilities than these buildings.

The Cloudman dormitory fills a long felt need on the Tech campus in supplying a suitable place of residence for the co-op students.

GOVERNOR RUSSELL SPEAKS TO STUDENTS Governor Richard B. Russell addressed a large body of Georgia Tech students Monday evening, Sept. 28th., in the Y. M. C. A. Chapel on the campus.

At the invitation of Dr. M. L. Brittain, and the Board of Trustees, of Georgia Tech, and in behalf of the state the Governor welcomed the freshmen to Tech. The body of students who assembled to hear Governor Russell was representative of twenty-one foreign countries and every state of the United States.

The Governor told the students that although they were being trained in a technical school, "not to be afraid to enter politics," and that interest in governmental affairs is essential in all walks of life. He said that since freshmen are naturally inquisitive they should not be afraid to find out more about their country and its government.

In behalf of the state, Governor Russell offered any assistance to the institution that lay in his power to give.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE PROPOSED FOR SOUTH Representatives of eight major institutions, now members of the Southern Conference, have reached an agreement on the formation of a new organization within the Southern Conference, the ultimate membership of which will be limited to ten, and which will seek to emphasize stricter eligibility requirements for men who perform on their athletic teams. This action they will recommend to their institutions.

The eight colleges represented at the meeting who will become the original members of the new organization are: Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt The union is thought to have come about because of the laxity of some institutions in recognizing each and every vocational unit, so that a player who perhaps had only a few classical units could present enough of a vocational nature to make up his required fifteen.

The ruling of the new organization along this line is expected to limit the number of vocational units to three. It also was expected that before being eligible for participation, an athlete would be required to pass at least three-fourths of his allotted hours of work in the preceding year and preceding quarter.

Some of the coaches that were present freely admitted that this ruling would work hardship on several of their players.

A commissioner will be employed to visit each institution and check the entrance credits and college work of each athlete. This will prevent the recurrence of the rumor that is now heard whenever a team from one institution wins a few games--"Of course they are good; they have all the steam-fitters and truck drivers in the state taking penmanship and animal husbandry."

The commissioner's okay will definitely stamp the athlete as a student.

Rules governing proselyting, recruiting and subsiding will be stringent, and this also will be under the scrutiny of the commissioner.

If necessary the eight teams mentioned may play only among themselves. They can, however, book games with outsiders who have the same standards.

It is expected that the University of Tennessee and the University of Alabama soon will join the group named above, thus making up a Big Ten similar to the Western Conference group of the same name.

TECH ORCHESTRA TOURS EUROPE The Georgia Tech Ramblers, popular college orchestra composed of Tech men, toured Europe during the past summer, playing on the boat going and returning, and at night clubs and cafes in several European cities.

The Ramblers sailed from New York May 29th on the R. M. S. Franconia, Cunard Line, landing at Cherbourg, France on June 7th. They remained in France three weeks, visiting many small towns, and playing at cafes in Paris and on the Rivieria. They also crossed the Channel, touring England for three weeks and playing in several night clubs in London.

The orchestra sailed from Southampton, England, July 18th on the R. M. S. Aquitania, the flag ship of the Cunard Line, landing in New York July 24th.

They played as the central orchestra on board the ship and were graciously received by the passengers.

November, 1931

NAVAL R. O. T. C. EXCELS ON CRUISE Halifax, Nova Scotia, was the destination of the 1931 student naval cruise, held every summer by the Naval R. 0. T. C. Ninety-one students in the Tech unit made the annual cruise which is designed to give them a practical knowledge of naval affairs. The unit, under command of Lieut. Com. Tisdale, embarked at Norfolk on August 27, and for the following ten days were steaming ahead for Halifax.

Units from Northwestern University, Harvard, Yale, and Georgia Tech were aboard the U. S. S. Arkansas, the ship designated by the Navy department for the purpose of student instruction.

The daily routine aboard ship consisted of strenuous work throughout, intensive lectures and tours of the various departments of the ship. Reveille was always sounded at 5:30 o'clock. From then until 4:00 P. M. the students were engaged, first in scrubbing down the decks, after which classes were formed for different instruction, with a respite of forty-five minutes for dinner. Except for those standing watches, the time after 4 o'clock until taps were sounded at 9:30 o'clock was free for recreation. A moving picture and band concert every evening on the main deck was a part of the ship's daily entertainment. Considerable time was spent in teaching the students the handling of the big guns, as well as in giving them practical lessons in navigation.

Four days were spent by the cadets in Halifax. The regular officers of the ship gave a reception and dance for the R. O. T. C. students, which was attended by the English admiral and other English Naval officers, as well as townspeople of Halifax. Several other social functions were staged for the pleasure of the students, which, with sight seeing and drill, occupied the cadets' time during their shore leave.

The Tech unit proved its superiority in a majority of the drills and contests entered. The Tech men were especially outstanding in the big gun drills, and in the "man overboard drill."

On October 27, several weeks after the end of the cruise, most of the students of the Navy Unit were given an opportunity to inspect the dirigible, Los Angeles, sent to Atlanta from New Jersey by the Navy Department in honor of Navy Day. The Tech men assisted in many ways to help make the day a success.

PHILADELPHIA CLUB REPORTS Clarence L. Jordan, secretary of the Georgia Tech Club of Philadelphia, reports that the club got together on October 12 and started off the year with a lot of good fellowship.

He stated that they expect to have their headquarters at the Ben Franklin Hotel with the football team again this year, during the day of the Tech-Penn game on November 14 and that they are looking forward to seeing and welcoming any and all of the alumni who may be in Philadelphia at the time.

Mr. Jordan's report stated that the next meeting was to be held at the Engineer's Club at 6:30 P. M., on November 9.

All out-of-town alumni who want any information as to reservations and the like are invited to drop a line to the secretary, Clarence L. Jordan, N. W. Ayer and Son, Philadelphia, who will be glad to help 'em "Ramble."

POWERFUL WAVE CONQUERS JACKETS 33-0 Tulane's tidal wave moved relentlessly onward on the afternoon of Oct. 24, carrying the wreckage of the Georgia Tech eleven defeated 33 to 0, along in its rush toward the championship.

It was a magnificent football team which Tulane showed. It struck with all the power of a great offense and it threw back every thrust the hard-fighting engineers made in a futile effort to pierce the defense and score.

The gallant efforts of the lighter and less experienced Yellow Jackets were nullified by the dazzling genius of Don Zimmerman and the fleet feet and strong arms of his backfield mates, Dawson, Felts and Payne.

But even or uneven, the game was a great one, regardless of the score. Those Jackets have public sentiment and many other weights upon their shoulders, but they came through with the goods regardless.

According to all prophecies, the score was supposed to run up to about 50 points, for Tulane, and the Tech men were supposed to be as putty in the hands of the green, but it was mighty unwieldy putty. Perhaps it had hardened a bit from exposure.

Felts and Zimmerman, to say nothing of Dalrymple, Payne, and other Tulane players, are good. There is no doubt of that, but the Jackets, with Jap Hart, Neblett, Jones, McArthur, and others did them up in a way they were not expecting.

The Jackets were on the short end of the score it is true, but they have that something which will not long be denied. Tech does seem to be in a kind of lethargy though. Tulane, Auburn, and many other teams in the conference show such speed as seems impossible to humans, while the Tech players, who are undoubtedly fast don't seem to get anywhere, but, 33-0 means no let up this year.

Tulane snowed Vanderbilt all the way under, so the Jackets have good company in defeat.

TECH FROSH DEFEAT FURMAN Georgia Tech's freshmen, by playing a brilliant brand of football overpowered the strong Furman freshmen team by the score of 20 to 12, Saturday, October 24, at Grant Field The Baby Jackets were much improved compared wth the eleven that faced Monroe two weeks ago and they held a slight advantage throughout the contest.

Shorty Roberts, flashy Tech halfback, was the outstanding star of the game. He made two of the Baby Jackets touchdowns and many other beautiful runs.

Jerry Perkerson, who was a consistent gainer all afternoon, scored the Jackets other touchdown. "Dumb Dumb" Wilcox, the hard fighting guard from Tyler, Texas, along with Mutt Morris gave the Furman backs trouble time after time and made gaining a very difficult task for them.

GLEE CLUB TO BE DISCONTINUED T H I S YEAR The Glee Club of Georgia Tech regrets to announce that due to the general condition it will be unable to carry out a full program during the coming year.

Charley Smithgall, president, and several of the more active members have endeavored to restore the Glee Club to its old pinnacle of popularity, but somehow their efforts have not been rewarded with great success.

According to Smithgall, who has communicated with the various parts of the state that the Glee Club had planned to visit on its itenerary, the local conditions are very bad and the full support and co-operation of the communities could not be expected.

The singers are going to have their usual broadcast over WGST as soon as pending arrangements have been completed, as their ranks have not been depleted, to any extent by graduation and more reinforcements are at hand, an even greater success than last year's can be expected.

The Yellow Jacket cagers started fall practice Oct. 26 when they answered to the call of Coach Roy Mundorff at the Atlanta Athletic Club gymn.

Twenty of last year's squad reported. Included in this group are: Van Houten, Payne, Patillo, Katz, Jones, Perkins, and the Mathis twins. Three of the most promising cagers, Gooding, Slocum and MacArthur, are still out with the football team. They will join the squad as soon as the football schedule is brought to an end. However, such stars as Phillips, "Ginny" Wages, Herron, and Sullivan will be missing from this season's quintet. Along with this group will be Ted Raines, who has been lost to the team on account of a knee injury received on the gridiron last fall.

Mundorff has been holding practice four or five days of the week. Drill periods are about two hours in length, with a little more than an hour being devoted to real labor. The men are being drilled only in offense now, the defense to be taken up later.

VANDY 49—TECH 7 Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets suffered their worst defeat of the season, Saturday, October 31, at the hands of the powerful Vanderbilt eleven. Inexperience and lack of weight were the factors which turned the tide against the Tornado.

Tech kicked off to Vandy to start the game. Alter three unsuccessful attempts at piercing the Jacket forward wall, Henderson, Vandy's spirited field general, kicked to Barron, who returned the punt to Tech's 39 yard line.

Four plays later Tech scored its first touchdown since the South Carolina encounter. Two brilliant runs by Pat Barron and two well aimed passes by Flowers, one to Barron and one to Hart, made the score possible. Williams kicked goal^to give Tech the lead 7 to 0.

The Jackets lead was only temporary however, for five plays later Henderson, behind perfect interference, crossed the Tech goal after a fifty yard sprint around right end. Vandy kicked goal and the quarter ended 7 and 7.

In the second quarter Vandy's heavier and more experienced line began to click. Roberts, hard running Vandy halfback, broke loose on the second play of the quarter and advanced the pigskin 22 yards to the Tech 7 yard line.

Four plays later the touchdown was scored by the mighty Roberts.

The goal was missed and the score stood 13 to 7. Tech elected to kick-off and Laws booted the ball 39 yard to Roberts who returned 25. From this point Vandy started a determined march which ended only after Henderson had crossed the Tech goal some ten plays later. Henderson's try for the extra point was good.

Score Tech 7, Vandy 20. McArthur replaced Flowers for Tech.

Vandy kicked off to Tech. After two unsuccessful attempts to pierce the Vandy line McArthur kicked to Vandy. Unable to make a first down, Henderson booted 40 yards to Tech's 37 yard line.

The halt ended after two unsuccessful passes by McArthur.

In the third quarter Henderson, Roberts and Whitfield accounted for three more Vandy touchdowns and two extra points. The Tech offense was unable to get started and its forward wall was unable to cope with the heavier Vandy forwards.

LECTRICITY, having revolutionized industrial methods, is well on its way to a conquest of the seas. Already, more than seventy ships are propelled by electric energy—liners, merchantmen, tankers, tugs, and every other type of seagoing craft.

Owners and masters alike praise the steady, dependable power — the speed without vibration — the economy of operation — the convenience of electric auxiliaries. Travelers have found new delight in the extraordinary comfort of electric propulsion and in the luxury of electric appliances.

The all-electric ship — a complete mobile power plant and system of distribution — is largely the achievement of college-trained men who have supplemented technical theory with practical experience in the General Electric Company.

Many of these engineers are now maintaining the prestige of General Electric not only in marine electrification but in every other department of design and application. Others, newly graduated, are gaining, in the Company's Test Department, a training which will enable them to join the ranks of electrical leadership on land and sea.
