Volume IX. ANNUAL MEETING REPORT

JUNE, 1931 Meeting was called to order by President J. T. Montague in the Tech Y. M. C. A. at 8 :00 P. M.,

Friday, May 15.

Annual reports of the Secretary and the Treasurer were made to the meeting. These are printed in full in this issue of the Georgia Tech Alumnus, as usual.

A letter of thanks and acceptance from Robert T. Jones, Jr., president-elect of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association was read.

The question of an Alumni Trusteeship was discussed at length, under new business, and a proposal to that effect was submitted to the meeting. After revisions were made, it was moved and passed that the proposal be accepted and that it be referred to the Executive Board of the Association with authority to act on further plans. The proposal, as adopted, is published in this number of the publication.

A suggestion from the Chicago Georgia Tech Club that an annual Georgia Tech Day he held throughout the country was discussed and referred to the Hoard for plans in that connection.

The Secretary was instructed to confer with the proper authorities as to the best methods to pursue in contacting the various members of the Georgia Legislature by their respective Georgia Tech constituencies before the biennial session of the Legislature in Atlanta on June 24, regarding the urgent needs of the college.

A suggestion that the Georgia Tech Alumnus be published during the nine scholastic months, instead of ten, in order to enlarge the magazine, if advisable, was referred to the Executive Board. Subsequent action approved the plan.

At this time, Mr. Mack Tharpe, representing the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, gave the information to the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association that the University of California and Georgia Tech would meet again in football on December 26, this year, at Georgia Tech and at the same time next year, in California. Tbe announce-

Number 10

ment was given to the press two days later and is also carried in the present number of the Alumnus, As no other business was brought before the meeting, those in attendance were asked to introduce themselves; following which, the meeting was adjourned.

At the Executive Board session which followed on May 22, it was decided to hold the annual Home Coming on the day of the Florida game, November 21, as Tech plays Georgia in Athens this fall.

FOOTBALL LETTER

As announced last month, the Football Ticket Application Letter is printed in this issue for the information of all Georgia Tech Alumni and those in particular, who may be away from home upon the arrival of the forms which will be mailed out by the Georgia Tech Athletic Association on or before August 1.

In view of the reduced price scale for seats in the South Stands, the California game in Atlanta, and other arrangements, it is suggested that the letter be carefully read.

All alumni who paid dues during last summer are advised that payments through August of last year will expire on or before July 31 of this year; so CHECK UP ON YOUR DUES NOW and stay on the list of ACTIVE ALUMNI for priority classification in the stands of your choice.

FOLLOW UP

In accordance with the request in the May Alumnus for you to speak to your representatives it is sincerely hoped that you have already done your bit in that connection or will do so without delay, as the Legislature convenes in Atlanta on June 24.

Kindly confer with your representatives NOW and allow us to state again that you ash them, first of all, to see that Georgia Tech gets the amount outstanding on the •present appropriation and then request that they take care of the operating requirements which, as before, will be based on the minimum needs for the next two years.

GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

June, 1931

Report ot the Secretary and the Treasurer for the Year 1930-1931 It is a pleasure to report that despite business conditions which have existed over the past year, the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association continues to show progress.

A review of the alumni activities at the close of each year is given for the information of all and is, no doubt, a matter of particular interest to Georgia Tech's alumni and other loyal friends.

Our expenses were greater than ever before, due to the publication of the large and comprehensive Directory Number of the Georgia Tech Alumnus. Unfortunately, alumni dues and subscriptions have shown a decided decrease in revenue over the last few years; this was happily off-set by funds from several of the departments of the college, appropriated toward the expenses of the Alumni Directory, which is a matter of importance to the college as well as to the Alumni Association.

Although we may move to other quarters before very long, the National Alumni Office is still located in the east tower of Grant Field on North Avenue. The gates below are always open during business hours and all of you are cordially invited to call at any time. Your secretary will be only too glad to render whatever services his office has to offer and will try to make your visit to the campus a pleasant one—and, as often stated, you may be asked to verify your address or the addresses of those with whom, perhaps, we have lost our contact and on whom you may have the very information we may need.

There is still a movement on foot to build a real gymnasium on the north end of Grant Field as the next major construction project after the Aeronautical Building has been dedicated and the Cloudman Dormitory completed. In addition to having a first-class basketball court with ample galleries, swimming pool, indoor track and gymnasium, lockers and the like, it is intended to use the wings of the building for faculty, student, and alumni activities; this will give the National Alumni Association an up-to-date suite of offices, with meeting and trophy rooms, when the plans materialize.

It is worth while to note that your association has progressed in a material way on each of its major items and that very decided forward strides have been made along the lines of Research and Alumni Endowments, together with the publication of the Alumni Directory.

Your Executive Board has proposed a trusteeship of alumni for endowment and other contributions sponsored by the Alumni Association; this is a timely and valuable move.

The Alumni Research Fund, while not general at this time, has done a most important piece of work during the past year and is functioning in a decisive manner. An outline of the work together with the contributing alumni and other friends has been published in the Georgia Tech Alumnus on several occasions; it bears repeating, however, and the association and the college are greatly indebted to the sponsors of this Fund.

Our activities are listed under 17 major heads: (1). The correction of addresses, classification of alumni and the enlargement of the list of names and addresses.

(2). Organizing and reorganizing local Tech Clubs.

(3). Editing and publishing the Georgia Tech Alumnus.

(4). Informing all graduates and non-graduates that they are entitled to membership in the association and enlisting their moral and financial co-operation for the support of the organization.

(5). To stimulate the interest of the alumni in reunions, commencements and homecoming days.

(6). To secure maintenance endowments and Research Funds for the school.

(7). To assist in the work of the different auxiliaries and organizations composed of the mothers, wives and sisters of the students, professors and alumni. The organizations have made some very fine contributions to Georgia Tech and have been valuable adjuncts in many ways.

(8). To inaugurate a local, state, and national news publicity bureau for Georgia Tech so that its great work, in addition to its athletic record, may receive the recognition to which it is so justly entitled.

(9). To encourage the attendance at Tech of the more serious minded high school boys and wholesome, manly,

studious athletes, and to add to our school scholarships for the poorer boys of both classes.

(10). To operate an employment bureau for former Tech men, the graduating classes, and the students; co-operating with such highly altruistic organizations as the Georgia College Placement Office, all without cost to employer or applicant for employment.

(11). To act as an information bureau for the alumni and to assist the Athletic Association in reaching all of the former students so that the latter may have the privilege of exercising their prerogatives in the purchase of tickets to any or all athletic events.

(12). To lend our help and influence toward the development of associations for the betterment of elementary and higher education throughout the state and nation.

(13). To distribute booklets, pamphlets, and other inspiring literature to the students, with the view of helping to direct them vocationally and for furthering their self-analysis and the like.

(14). To encourage experienced alumni and others to give lectures, consistent with schedules and similar school arrangements and to encourage debates and public speaking together with inspection tours of manufacturing plants, large developments and other industries and businesses.

(15). The publication of an Alumni Directory with periodical regularity. The 1930 Directory was completed last summer with geographical listings and was mailed to all active alumni during September.

(16). Publication of the War Record of the Alumni and the Institution. This was started in March, 1927, and has been completed.

(17). To aid in and enlist the co-operation of the Alumni in worthy causes, merited presentations, and the like.

There are thirty-five Gerogia Tech Clubs throughout the country and there has been more interest shown by them than in the past. The Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York Clubs were splendid hosts to the team and the visiting alumni when Tech played in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia last fall. Chicago and several of the other clubs, in addition to those mentioned, are holding regular meetings. New Orleans, Philadelphia and New York alumni are beginning to make plans at this date for the reception of the team and visitors when Tech plays Tulane and Pennsylvania during the coming season.

The alumni everywhere are most hospitable to the different teams and officials of the institution whenever visits are made to their cities.

The Georgia Tech Alumnus conforms to the standards of the National Alumni Magazines, Associated, of which it is a member in good standing. New magazines or those with some particular purpose in view may put on more embellishments for the time; however, if you will pardon the statement, the Alumnus compares favorably with the magazines of the average older institutions. Our association is not included like so many others are with a partial maintenance subsidy from the college; but it has not lacked cooperation on the part of the college authorities. As previously stated, it received considerable help on the expenses of the Alumni Directory that was published in September. Naturally there were some mistakes in the directory but these are being corrected and additions made in each issue of the Alumnus under the Directory Supplement column.

Kindly let us repeat, that in no instance yet have we found that any other Alumni Directory or Register has been included as a regular issue of any of the various publications, which charge from $2.00 to $5.00 each for them in addition to the usual subscription rates and fees; we are going to send Directories, however, to our Active Alumni without an extra charge.

Season and individual football tickets were Glled last year and will continue to be handled by the Athletic Association in order of classes to Active Alumni then to Inactive Alumni by classes. All alumni requests, if received within the time limit, will be Glled with the best available seats, before the general public sale and, in accordance with the actions of the Georgia Tech Athletic Board, only individual game tickets will be placed on public sales after the alumni season ticket and individual orders have been completed.

Volume IX

GEORGIA TECH

SO BE SURE TO EXERCISE YOUR ALUMNI PREROGATIVES AND DON'T COUNT ON PUBLIC SALES, HEREAFTER. Announcements in the June Alumnus and special letters will be sent well in advance to all alumni who are on the mailing list in the alumni office.

In view of the new scale of prices, it is urgently recommended that all alumni check over their alumni cards at once and stay on the active list in order to take advantage of admission prices and location.

We have 750 active alumni members and subscribers, representing a decrease of about 250 from those reported last year; there should easily be 2,000 active members out of 4,750 names on our address files. With 350 active members from the 1930 graduating class this makes a total of 1,100 active alumni. The present student affiliations at $1.00 a year are 2 219, an increase of 44. It is fine to state that our records have shown a student increase each year; these, with the active alumni, make a grand total of 3,319 contributing members to the association.

Regardless of the handicaps of the year, the foregoing records are good ones and you are to be congratulated on them.

We need a field secretary or funds for the executive secretary to be able to do more field work; furthermore, an alumni representative should attend Georgia Tech's major athletic events in other cities to meet with the local and visiting Georgia Tech Alumni at the time and to relieve the coach and his assistants from a lot of detail, mixing, and meeting before the games. This is regularly done now by the smallest and largest institutions and we are gradually working toward" that end.

It is also likely that we should publish the Alumnus during the nine school months, instead of ten times a year, as is done by a number of alumni associations. Such a move would allow us to improve and enlarge our magazine as to cover and content.

In conclusion, it's a privilege to state that we are sincerely grateful to those of you who are such contributing factors in a big and worthy undertaking. It is our desire to give you service well worth your support; if you are not directly benefited, it certainly must be gratifying for you to know that you are behind those who do use our services.

It is also certain that we express your thoughts in voicing our deepest thanks to our present officers and commitiee members, together with those who have served in the past, for their untiring efforts and loyalty to Georgia Tech and its National Alumni Association. They have given their best and while their reward may be in their hearts only, it's great to have it there. Such, too, is your spirit, we know, and our everlasting thanks go out to you always.

Alumni dues and subscriptions are behind last year's report by $1,182.50.

Disbursements and receipts were greater than last year as occasioned principally by the publication of the largest and most comprehensive alumni directory ever published and the increased receipts from the college sources which helped defray directory expenses.

The foregoing accounts are correct.

Pioneer Classes of 1890, 1891 and 1892 Hold Reunion

On Monday, June 8, during Commencement, the graduates and registrants, that entered Georgia Tech when it was opened in 1888, held a most interesting reunion of the Pioneer Classes.

The ceremonies began in the old chapel at 9 :00 A. M., with a roll call from the original rolls. Plans were made for further meetings and for a pioneer organization which is to undertake the writing of an early history of the institution. This was followed by a tour of the shops and other buildings and attendance in a body at the dedication of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Building and the Commencement Exercises at which one of the members, a graduate of the first class, Mr. George Gordon Crawford, President of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh, was awarded a Doctor of Science degree.

Dr. M. L. Brittain invited the pioneers and other guests to a buffet luncheon at his residence after the Commencement ceremonies. The round of entertainments and meetings concluded with a banquet at the Capital City Club.

Those in attendance from the pioneer faculty and classes were: 1890—George Gordon Crawford and Henry L. Smith, the first two graduates of the college and the entire class.

1891—Percy C. Brooks, Wm. H. Glenn, J. B. McCrary and C. M. Pritchett.

1892—R. Boyd, J. C. Caldwell, A. C. Colcord, F. C. Conn, H. D. Cutter, W. H. Fluker, W. A. Hansell, N. B. Hudson, G. W. Jenkins, G. H. Morrow, J. A. Porter, Luke Seawell, W. P. Walthall, F. E. Whitney, R. B. Wiley, and J. L. Zachry.

Faculty: T. S. Grimes, H. H. Norman, Horace Thompson and Wm. Van Houten.

A verification of the foregoing list together with a picture of the class of 1892 will appear in the next issue of this publication in October.

The members of the pioneer classes are among the foremost engineers and citizens of the country, and the spirit shown by those that attended the reunion is an evidence of the fact that Georgia Tech is close to the hearts of all of them.

When Georgia Tech started its technical educational pioneering in the South there were 125 students asking enrollment. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, who had been directing a small engineering school at Emory in Oxford, Ga., was first president of Tech. The faculty consisted of six members besides Dr. Hopkins. Four foremen instructors were in the shops with three more added during the first three years.

NEW SCHOOL OF COMMERCE DEDICATED

COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM

Officials of the city, the state and the Georgia School of Technology joined Wednesday evening, May 6, in dedicating the new home of the Evening School of Commerce at Georgia Tech, located in the building at 223 Walton St., opening of which was one of the most important steps taken by the school since its founding in 1914.

Speakers included Governor L. G. Hardman, who accepted the school in behalf of the city; L. W. Robert, Jr., chairman of the executive committee of the board of trustees of Georgia Tech, who represents the latter institution; Dr. M. L. Brittain, president of Georgia Tech; Thomas K. Glenn, well-known banker, representing the American Institute of Banking; Robert R. Johnson, president of the Campbell Coal Co., chairman of the evening school building fund, and Professor George M. Sparks, director of the school. Dr. J. Sprole Lyons, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, delivered the invocation.

The ceremonies began at 7 o'clock in the new roof garden of the school and were followed by a reception and dancing, music for which was furnished by the school orchestra.

Made possible by donations furnished by friends of the institution collected largely through the inspired efforts of Mr. Johnson, the new home of the school will furnish facilities for approximately 1,000 students, it is said. Work on the building was begun shortly after January 1 and cost, including equipment, about $75,000, all of which has been donated by Atlanta business men and others interested in the purposes of the school.

The modern plant is one of the finest of its type in the country and includes fourteen classrooms, a coffee shop, office, lounge room and the large roof garden recreation room with a seating capacity of 1,000. The building is equipped throughout with hardwood floors and all equipment necessary in giving the more than 100 courses in commerce in the curriculum. , The history of the Evening School of Commerce has been one of constant growth and removal from one location to another to meet increasing demands for space. Founded in 1914 in the Chamber of Commerce Building, the school moved later to the Arcade, then the corner of Auburn and Pryor, and finally to 106 1-2 Forsyth Street, where it remained until completion of the new plant.

The total enrollment is now 654, the largest since opening the school, and thirty-five professors compose the faculty.

"Acquisition of this plant will enable us greatly to increase the enrollment next year," Professor Sparks declared. "Though the present enrollment is the largest yet, it has been limited by the space occupied.

"We expect about 1,000 students next fall."

The school is an integral part of Georgia Tech though it receives no appropriations from Tech or from the state.

It is entirely self-supporting. Its courses are accredited in other schools as are the regular day courses at Tech. Degrees in commerce are given after five years' work in night classes, which begin at 5 o'clock and continue for two

Georgia Tech's 42nd annual Commencement Day Exercises held for the Class of 1931 were held Monday morning, June 8th, at 10:30 A. M. The exercises took place on the school campus.

A feature of the commencement this year was the conferring of honorary degrees upon three men whom Tech honored for the work they have done in the progress of the world.

Edward P. Warner, editor of "Aviation," delivered the commencement address. Due to the fact that Tech has this year established the most modern aviation school in the South, it was very appropriate that such a man should speak.

The complete program was as follows: Invocation—Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodge, pastor of Ponce de Leon Congregational Church.

Commencement Address—Edward P. Warner, Editor of "Aviation."

Conferring of Degrees and Certificates—President Brittain.

Conferring of Commissions in Reserve Officers Training Corps—General Frank R. McCoy, Commanding 4th Corps Area.

Conferring of Georgia Railway Shop Certificates—By Central of Georgia Railway Officials.

Conferring of Honorary Degrees—Harry E. Guggenheim, Ambassador to Cuba; Howard E. Coffin, Brunswick, Ga.; George E. Crawford, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Announcements of Honors and Prizes—The Registrar.

Alma Mater—The Graduating Class.

In connection with the exercises, the first registrants of Georgia Tech composed of the classes of 1890, 1891, and 1892 held their fortieth anniversary reunion which began with a meeting in the Tech Y. M. C. A. at 9 :00 A. M. followed by attedance at the Commencement-exercises and a banquet during the evening. One of their members, Mr. George Gordon Crawford, was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science.

DELEGATES ATTEND A. S. M. E. MEET The Student Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was represented by thirty students of the M. E. department, and Prof. Ray M. Matson, B. S. in Engr., '23, Honorary Chairman of that Branch, at the spring meeting of the A. S. M. E. in Birmingham, April 20-23. This proved to be the largest delegation of students attending, doubling the number in the next largest group, which was sent from Auburn (A. P. I.).

The Georgia Tech alumni were especially active in the promotion of the meeting, prominent among whom was Mr. Paul Wright, B. S. in M. E., '03. The representatives from Tech were located at the Birmingham Athletic Club where special rates were made for their accommodation. hours, the final ones ending at 10 o'clock. More than 350 Atlanta business houses are represented among the students.

GEORGIA TECH

DOCTOR OF SCIENCE DEGREES CONFERRED AT COMMENCEMENT Honorary degrees of doctor of science were awarded three men of national distinction in the engineering field

by Georgia Tech on commencement day, June 8.

The three who were honored are Harry F. Guggenheim, present American ambassador to Cuba and a son of Daniel Guggenheim; Howard E. Coffin, Sapelo Island and developer of the now famous Sea Islands of Georgia; and George Gordon Crawford, president of the Jones-Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh, and former president of the Tennesseee Coal & Iron Company of Birmingham.

The board of trustees of the University of Georgia gave immediate approval to the award of these degrees which were recommended by the trustees of Georgia Tech headed

by Hon. John W. Grant, of Atlanta.

Harry F. Guggenheim, by profession, is a mining engineer. He was born at West End, N. J., on August 23, 1890. He is a graduate of Yale and spent three years at Cambridge. After completing his education he became associated with the development of the Chile Copper Company and other mining interests. He is president of the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation and is a member of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, a prominent member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the American Society on International Law. Mr. Guggenheim makes his home at Port Washington, N. Y., but is at present in Havana as the American ambassador.

Mr. Coffin is well known to Georgia. He was born at West Milton, Ohio, September 6, 1873, and is a graduate of the University of Michigan, which bestowed upon him a bachelorhood of science in mechanical engineering. He also received an honorary degree of doctor of engineering from Mercer University at Macon.

For many years Mr. Coffin has been prominently identified with automotive industry and in the development of the Georgia coastal region. He makes his winter home at Sapelo and his summer home at Grosse Pointe, Mich.

Mr. Crawford is the only native Georgian in the trio to be honored by Tech and the only one of them to be graduated by the institution. He was born at Madison, Ga., on August 24, 1869, a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Gilmore Crawford. He was graduated from Tech in 1890, receiving a bachelor of science degree.

After graduation Mr. Crawford identified himself with the steel industry, obtaining a position with the Carnegie Company in western Pennsylvania. In 1907 he went to Birmingham as president of the T. C. I., remaining there until 1930, when he accepted the presidency of the JonesLaughlin Corporation. During his stay in Birmingham Mr. Crawofrd was voted as "Alabama's First Citizen" for his work in upbuilding the state.

The degrees were conferred at Tech this year for the first time in the history of the institution.

Chancellor Charles N. Snelling, of the University of Georgia, bestowed the awards.

TECH PLAYS CALIFORNIA AT GRANT FIELD DECEMBER 26

1931 ANNUAL DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF THE HONORABLE DANIEL GUGGENHEIM

At the annual meeting of the National Ga. Tech Alumni Association on May 15, the Tech Athletic Association announced that a two-year football contract had been signed with the Univ. of California, the first game to be played in Atlanta, December 2(1, of this year, and the second game at Berkley, California, at a corresponding date next year.

The 1931 staff of the Blue Print is to be congratulated on their work of art which compares most favorably with its predecessor, the National Prize Winning Annual of 1930.

The annual is dedicated to the memory of the Honorable Daniel Guggenheim with the following tribute: "'Through the Guggenheim Foundation the Aeronautics Department was founded at the Georgia School of Technology. This 1931 Blue Print is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Guggenheim, who founded the Guggenheim Foundation for the advancement of Aeronautics."

The proceeds of both games, after expenses have been deducted, will go to charity. The Atlanta charity to be the beneficiary is the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children.

Arrangements between the two schools were completed when Chip Robert, of the board of trustees and the athletic council at Tech, and Bobby Jones, president-elect of the National Alumni Association, conferred with authorities at the University of California recently, after Mr. Robert had made a flying trip to the Golden West.

Dr. A. H. Armstrong, faculty athletic director at Tech, appeared before the executive committee of the southern conference meeting at Birmingham and asked its sanction to the arrangement. The committee in its decision stated that while the southern conference was opposed to the idea of post-season games, it felt that inasmuch as Georgia had been granted an extension of the season to play Southern California, Tech should not be denied a smilar privilege. Hence the committee voted its sanction to the game and to recommend such action to the southern conference directors when they have their annual meeting next December.

The addition of the California Bears gives Tech a great home schedule for the coming season. Teams to be met at Grant Field are South Carolina, Carnegie Tech, Auburn, Vanderbilt, North Carolina, Florida and California.

Two Pacific coast conference teams are to invade Dixie this year. Washington State will play Tulane in New Orleans the first week in December. The California-Tech game will follow the day after Christmas, which is on Saturday.

GOLFERS WIN STATE CROWN The Tech golf team, led by Captain Scott Hudson, Jr., won the state college tournament played at the Druid Hills golf club under the sponsorship of Emory University.

Ceorgia came in third. Wilbur Oakes, Jr., of Chattanooga, Tennessee, was elected captain for next year, as Captain Hudson ended his reign as leader of the Jackets.

Two members of the Tech team, Oakes and Stafford, turned in scores of 76 each to tie for individual honors.

Stafford's play was excellent throughout the tournament and had not disagreeable weather interfered, his chance of becoming state college champion would in all probability have materialized. Due to a steady rain, however, he took seven on the last hole and made necessary a play-off. The greens were in terrible condition, causing the participants to make many strokes over their usual form.

Tech was twenty-eight strokes in front of the rest of the field when the final hole had been played, clearly showing the superiority of the boys from the old North Avenue institution.

The Jackets' total score was 317. Emory was second with 345, while Georgia came third with 350.

FROSH TANK SEASON ENDS WITH VICTORY The Baby Jackets finished their season in the water by defeating the Smithies from Tech High school by a score of 53 to 22 in the pool at the Atlanta Y. M. C. A. on Thursday, the 30th of April. The Freshmen took the lead at the beginning of the meet by making 24 points in the first three races while Tech High School made only 6. The Freshmen captured the meet, which was the sixth and last of the year, with apparently little effort, thus they finished the season with a clean slate. The team as a whole was strong. Brown led the charge all season.

Kennickell and Valentine were behind him trying hard to catch the leader.

FROSH NINE DIVIDES WITH AUBURN

JACKET CINDER MEN DEFEAT GEORGIA

The Auburn freshmen and the Tech freshmen divided a two-game series, the Tech team winning the lirst game, 11 to 9, in 10 innings, while the Auburn nine took the next battle, 5 to 3.

Benson, on the mound for Auburn, had the Tech boys eating out of his hand, allowing them six hits, while Crum gave up eight.

The Tech crew took a three-run lead in the first six innings, but in the last half of the sixth, the Tigers put together two hits, coupled.with three errors, and a balk by the Tech freshmen knotted the count. They went out to put the game on ice in the following inning, getting two runs on three hits. These are the only games the Tech freshmen or Auburn freshmen have dropped this season.

Poor base running and errors at inopportune times for the Tech freshmen helped the Auburn Rats considerably.

The Tech track squad won a double victory over the Georgia Bulldogs on the cinders of Grant Field, May 2.

The varsity earned a 65 to 61 verdict and the freshmen an 8 to 6 triumph.

RATS D E F E A T LANIER

Georgia Tech's freshman baseball team closed its baseball season with a 9 to 3 victory over Lanier High, of Macan, Saturday afternoon, May 16, on the Rose Bowl diamond. It was the second successive victory over the Poets and gave the Jacket yearlings four victories and twTo defeats for the season.

Consistent Jutting in the first and eighth' inning, coupled with six Lanier errors gave the Jackets nine runs, off eight hits. Tech's hitting was fairly well scattered and a large number of players were used in the game.

FOR PRECISION I N this machine age, industry must depend on metals for certain unvarying characteristics. T h e Bausch dc Lomb Binocular Microscope for metallurgical analysis provides America's industrial chemists with an auxiliary analytical instrument.

Failing in the sprintsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where they had not expected to failâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Jackets came back up the hill in the distance events, held their own over the hurdles and sped to victory in the field events.

The Jackets found points hard to get at the beginning.

With Graydon and Weatherford out of the races, the Jackets were forced to yield 17 of the available 18 counters in the shorter sprints.

Maddox of Georgia, leading by the puff of a jersey in the high hurdles, flicked the last one and stumbled while Foxhall dashed olf another Jacket first. Tech sent Goldsmith, LaForge and Stubbins out to sweep the 440 yard dash, and Cain, Bailey and Jones out to do likewise in the shot put. This gave Tech the lead 29 to 25.

Goldsmith ran the prettiest race of the day to capture the half mile. Getting a poor start, he was content to loaf in the ruck until the field had made the first turn of the final lap. Starting as they entered the back .stretch he and his flickering feet burst into the lead on the home turn and romped down the stietch to hold his lead over Davis, of Georgia, in a great dual.

Galloway led the Tech freshmen to victory in their meet, conducted on the English system of single point scoring. He won the 100, 220 and 440 yard grinds in varsity time.

STEGEMAN HEADS 1932 DIXIE LEAGUE The same six teams which composed the Dixie College Baseball League this season will comprise the league during 1932. Herman J. Stegeman, Georgia, was elected to serve as president to succeed William A. Alexander, Georgia Tech. The 1931 championship was officially awarded to Auburn at the meeting, which was held at the Atlanta Athletic Club Monday, May 18.

A tentative schedule was drawn at the meeting, which calls for each team playing 10 home and 10 road games.

The schedule will be completed during the coming summer months.

JACKETS SPLIT SERIES WITH GEORGIA

SCHOLARSHIP AND SALARIES

Playing the last series of the season the Jacket nine divided a two game contest with the Bulldogs from Athens.

The first game went to the Georgia clan by the overwhelming score of 17 to 0, then on the next day the Techmen came back and won the final tilt 11 to 4.

Crowley started off the first game for the Jackets and was pitching a fine brand of ball until two costly errors cost the club 6 runs. This seemed to break down the spirit of the boys and Georgia was able to score practically at will from then on.

Baker was Coach Clay's choice for the uexl day and although he gave up ten hits, they were well scattered and were therefore not costly.

In the first, Richie walked. Isaacs bunted to Simpson, who guessed wrong and threw to second too late. Mcht.ee struck out, but the the ball got away from the Georgia catcher. He then threw wild to first, but the coacher on third sent Richie foolishly to an easy out at the plate.

Parmer pasted a drive to left which bounded out of Smith's glove, and Isaacs scored.

Tech did not register again until the fourth when Harper opened up the inning with a double to left. Holt hit through the Georgia first sacker and Harper scored. Baker sacrificed, then Richie hit through Downes on third, Isaacs singled scoring Holt and sending Richie to third.

McKee was thrown out at first, then Parmer came through with a clean bingle which scored Richie and Isaacs.

The next inning Hogshead, playing third for the Jackets, led off the attack with a triple to center. Harper was tossed out at first sack. Holt walked and stole second, and up came Baker to put his own game on ice by a terrific wallop to left which cleared the bases. Two more counters were scored in the next inning to offset two mad" just before by Georgia.

Georgia pushed two more runs across in the next inning and then the game was called in the eighth on account of darkness.

The two old rivals are all square for the current baseball season, Tech having won one and lost one on the trip to Athens during the latter part of April.

(NSPA)—Is high scholarship worth the struggle?

Opinions differ on this subject, but statistics do not. Almost invariably promise becomes performance. A hundred scientific studies prove it. This is notably true, as we have already shown, of doctors, lawyers, and ministers.

But is it true of business men ? It certainly is true of the men employed by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. President Gifford has shown that men who graduate in the first tenth of their class have four times as many chances of getting into the highest salaried group, as those who graduate in the lowest third of their class.

T W O J A C K E T S ON ALL D I X I E N I N E

Pitchers—Smith and Harkins, of Auburn; Hamilton, of Georgia.

Catchers—Kaley, of Auburn, and Parmer, of Tech.

Infielders—Lloyd, Auburn, first; Riley, Auburn, second; McGaughey, Georgia, short; Herrin, Oglethorpe, third.

Outfielders—McKee, Tech, left: Mott, Georgia, center; Burt, Auburn, left.

Utility—Wilkes, Mercer.

About half the men who ranked in the highest third in scholarship are in the higest salaried group. On the other hand, this group includes only a quarter of those who were in the lowest third of their class in scholarship.

The Telephone Company does not hand out large salaries for sentimental reasons. It demands and gets performance. It did not even know, until recently, that it was paying much larger salaries to high scholarship men than it was paying to other men.

Another study shows that the graduates of Bowdoin who receive the highest marks in college receive, as a rule, the highest income after graduation.

Dean Potter, of Purdue University, has shown that superior scholarship among engineering students leads, as a rule, to success in engineering, as indicated by salaries.

Similar results appear in a study of the graduates of the Yale School of Forestry, and of West Point.

Some of our most successful corporations evidently have these facts in mind. They have made standing offers to various colleges to give positions to the highest scholars in every class. Similar standing offers have been made to the Harvard Business School.

Don't be always taking your work or love affairs too seriously. It will only end by proving you know less and less of more and more.

The neatest trick you can pull is to slip into the nearest soda fountain or refreshment stand — around t h e corner from anywhere — and invite your soul to the pause that refreshes. There and then, seen through a rose-colored glass of delicious, ice-cold Coca-Cola, all things fall into true perspective and you become a man amongst men once more.
