STREAMLINED MOTOR T h e new automobiles a n d airplanes have nothing, as far as streamlining goes, on an electric motor recently manufactured b y General Electric. And undoubtedly m a n y visitors t o Langley Field, in Virginia, where t h e m o t o r is now located, will think it some kind of miniature "Zeppelin." T h e motor is being used in investigations of the noises m a d e b y various types of propellers, t h e objective, of course, being t o design a propeller in which noise is reduced t o t h e practical m i n i m u m .
Research scientists examined t h e blades and found t h a t on conventional fans all p a r t s of t h e blade did not push air a t the same r a t e of speed; in some cases, in fact, some p a r t s pulled air back instead of pushing it forward. Blades on which every bit of surface pushed air a t approximately t h e same speed were designed. And lo! n o t only was t h e efficiency of the fan tremendously increased, b u t t h e fan was quiet. F u r t h e r m o r e , a system was evolved whereby accurate fan-noise rating is possible. As a result, air-conditioning u n i t s which m a k e n o more noise t h a n is present in a closed room on a quiet day were developed. This quiet-fan development was done under t h e direction of K. D . M c M a h a n , Oklahoma A. & M., '29, of t h e G-E Research L a b o r a t o r y .
T h e motor, of t h e wound-rotor induction t y p e , rated a t 200 horsepower, is probably t h e first of its kind ever built. T h e propellers are m o u n t e d directly on t h e m o t o r shaft, a n d can be r u n a t speeds of between 1000 and 3600 r p m . T h e noises are picked u p b y a microphone and analyzed b y means of special measuring devices. T h e m o t o r was designed b y C. J. K o c h , M . I . T . , '24, a n d M . H . Wells, Syracuse, '02; and t h e control b y A. Suksdorf, Washington S t a t e , '16.

LESS NOISE Until recently, noise h a s been regarded as a necessary evil, something t h a t has come quite naturally with higher speeds and more complex civilization. B u t someone noticed t h a t noise gives us t h e " j i t t e r s " ; rubber tires began t o appear on milk wagons, and r u b b e r cushions on ash cans. So, when General Electric was developing its air-conditioning units, noise became an i m p o r t a n t factor. Propeller-type fans, which had t o r u n 24 hours a day to circulate air, were used, and they m a d e too m u c h noise for comfort. T h e Research L a b o r a t o r y was given t h e j o b of doing something about it.

Day—Commencement Mentioned—Sports
After each member in attendance had stated his name and class, Mr. Loeb gave a short spirited talk on the importance of encouraging high school students to matriculate at Georgia Tech. He urged the alumni throughout the state and nation to stimulate an interest in the college and its activities. The annual reports of the secretary and the treasurer were then read and adopted. This was followed by the announcement that the executive board is holding monthly meetings which are open to the alumni. At this juncture, a rising vote of thanks was given to Mr. Ferd Kaufman for his recent generous action which made possible the new naval armory that is now in course of erection at the northeast corner of Grant Field. Newly elected officers for the coming year were then announced, as follows: President, Rhodes Perdue; Vice-President, A. L. Loeb; Vice-President, out of state, John G. Chapman; Treasurer, Edw. C. Liddell. Dates for a summer barbecue and the fall home coming were discussed, and upon motion of Mr. G. M. Stout, action on these was left to the discretion of the executive committee. Coach W. A. Alexander was asked to give a review of campus activities and he replied with a most interesting and informative talk in which he described the work that the government had done in repairing buildings on the campus, in addition to the installation of a modern drainage system on Grant Field and its work on the new naval armory. He also stated that the prospects were bright that a loan would be obtained from the P. W. A. for the construction of a building to contain a combination auditorium and basketball court, as well as a swimming pool; the latter to be an annex to the present Y. M. C. A. Coach Alexander also stated that Tech was again among those at the top of athletics in the South, as it was leading in almost all of the minor athletics and was well up among the leaders in major activities. He also pointed out that a great amount of interest was being taken by the students in intra-iimral athletics which promises to be a most important factor in the physical education of the undergraduates in general. Mr. Geo. C. Griffin, Assistant Dean of Men, followed Coach Alexander with an interesting description of the new industrial management course which offers a real opportunity to those who want a commerce and general science training. He added that Georgia Tech was one of the few colleges in the country that was offering this important course, which should prove to be most popular and highly productive. During the course of business, complimentary tickets to the Tech-Georgia baseball game on the following day were presented to all in attendance, with the compliments of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. This action received considerable praise, and thanks were expressed to the association for its co-operative spirit. Upon the conclusion of informal remarks, the meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m.

Directory Information and Dues The alumni office has started to work on a new Alumni Directory and blanks are being mailed to all alumni whose addresses are on file in the office; you are kindly requested therefore, to fill in your respective forms and return them to the alumni office at your prompt convenience, upon their receipt. It will take considerable time, and no little expense, to mail out six thousand or more forms, so that part of the work alone will continue over the next few months. The information will be compiled by classes and published in the current issues of the ALUMNUS, beginning with the next volume. After corrections and additions are made, the directory will be published in consolidated form. The alumni office does not operate on an appropriation; so it is absolutely necessary for all of you who have the spirit and some means to become an association member in good standing, if the Georgia Tech alumni work is to continue with any degree of efficiency. The association has done a big job— thanks to those who have put their shoulder to the wheel— and you will be doing a real job, too, by becoming active. Your attention is called to the secretary's report in this issue, which outlines the activities of the alumni office. It will be a matter of sincere pleasure to you to note particularly what has been done for those of our alumni who were unemployed. Only too much, unfortunately, remains to be done in that connection, but we are "sticking in there with 'em," and we ask that you give us your support at this time more than ever before. JOIN UP, MEN, I T ' S WORTH WHILE.
Encourage Attendance at Tech Alumni of Georgia Tech may be of considerable service to the college by encouraging high school graduates in their respective communities to attend the institution. The Regist r a r ' s Office will be pleased to communicate with prospective students and will send catalogues or bulletins to those who are interested. The half-page insertion of the Georgia School of Technology, in this issue, gives the courses that are offered at the institution which has so justly merited its appellation as " A Technical School with A National Reputation." The new Industrial Management course combines the best of the former commerce course with an industrial background, and it will prove to be a popular and remunerative course for those who enroll in it. By placing the advantages of Georgia Tech before high school students at this time, a distinct service will be rendered to the college and to the students as well.
Trade W i t h Your Friends It is a matter of sincere satisfaction to know that our alumni, the college officials and students all adhere to the idea of reciprocity, and it is particularly pleasing to have the assurance that a big volume of their business has been given to our advertisers and other friends who have cooperated so materially with us and Georgia Tech. It goes without saying that this good will attitude shall continue, and we are confident that our supporters will always enjoy the major share of your business. While a word only is sufficient it is well to remember that our friends have helped us materially with their co-operation, and you will have every satisfaction in your trade relations with them.

Report of the Secretary for 1933-34 While it has been necessary for the National Georgia. Tech Alumni Association to operate on the smallest budget since its organization, practically, it is gratifying to report that there has been a pronounced evidence of renewed interest in alumni affairs and some very important work has been accomplished. One of our chief concerns was the unemployment situation which affected the alumni and students and, despite our financial handicaps, it is a matter of justifiable pride to state that every registrant for employment on our files was either placed or given an opportunity for placement, through direct or indirect references and recommendations from the alumni office. Every registrant, unfortunately, did not secure permanent work, and some few might not have been employed after we referred them to employers who applied through our offices; the fact remains, however, that out of over 315 applicants, we have only about 33 new or renewed applicants. Government work took about 100 of our registrants, but the majority of those are still at work and quite a number of them are becoming permanently placed with the municipalities, and in individual organizations, in the localities of the projects on which they became employed. There are no charges to anyone for the alumni employment services. The employment situation is materially better but, unfortunately, there is plenty yet to be done in that connection; so an appeal is again made to all of you to bear in mind those of our alumni, coming graduates, and students, who are in need of employment. There may be an opening in your particular business, or you may have contacts, or a knowledge where there may be an opportunity for those concerned; if so, kindly advise the alumni office in that connection. It is well to repeat that the Community Placement Office is co-operating with the colleges in Atlanta in college placement work and we suggest that those concerned report to the College Placement Department of that office in Atlanta at 83 Poplar Street and register with them as well as with us. The Alumni Foundation is building steadily toward its goal and bids fair to be one of the biggest functions of the alumni association. Much credit is due to all the members on the Foundation Board and to our other alumni who have directed this insurance project. Directory information blanks are being mailed out at this time, beginning with out-of-state alumni, for the compilation of another alumni directory. The information will be published by classes in the current issues of the ALUMNUS, for corrections and additions, after which it will be consolidated and published in complete directory form. This is a big undertaking and all of you are kindly requested to fill out the forms and return them promptly to the alumni office, upon their receipt. There has been a revival of interest in the various Georgia Tech clubs throughout the state and nation. The executive board is holding monthly meetings and encouraging alumni gatherings of all kinds. The board and a number of the other friends of Tech were the hosts at the recent alumni smoker which was such an enjoyable event, and our gracious thanks are extended to each of these hosts. The Georgia Tech Athletic Association wants to stimulate interest in its affairs also, and very kindly donated tickets for the TechGeorgia baseball game on Saturday, May 5, to all in attendance at the annual business meeting of the Alumni Association; in addition to this, all track and other minor sports are open this season as a complimentary gesture to alumni and to the public and Georgia Tech is leading this section in minor sport victories to say nothing of the great improvement over the last few years in its major sport affairs.
The Alumni Association has rendered distinct services to the undergraduates through the employment bureau services which are rendered without charge upon graduation or withdrawal and thereafter as needed. An active membership card is issued to each student, as he leaves college, for one full year without dues. The privilege is extended in case of sickness or unemployment. The students benefit too, both directly and indirectly in funds for scholarships, loans, endowments, buildings, and equipment, in which individual alumni and the association have interested themselves. As a matter of record and yearly information, attention is again called to the general activities of the Alumni Association, which are, as follows: 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, during the scholastic months. 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. The operation of 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. 8. 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. 9. To operate an employment bureau for former Tech men, the graduating classes, and the students, all without cost to employer or applicant for employment. 10. 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. 11. To lend our help and influence toward the development of associations for the betterment of elementary and higher education throughout the state and nation. 12. The publication of an Alumni Directory with periodical regularity. The 1930 Directory with geographical listings was completed and mailed to all active alumni during that year. There are thirty-five Georgia Tech Clubs throughout the country and there has been more interest shown by them than in the past. 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. Progress has been made on each of the foregoing items and material advancements have been shown on some in particular. Tech should have a larger representation on the Board of Regents and the State authorities have had this fact presented to them quite definitely, and we have been somewhat, reassured in this important matter. The 1935 session of (Continued on next page)

Letter From Lost Flier Reaches Tech
(Continued from page 71) the legislature will make an effort to correct some discrepancies as to what constitutes " A l u m n i , " when that body convenes. It is a sincere pleasure to state, in conclusion, that the spirit of the alumni has been of the most co-operative nature and you are to be congratulated in this, which is so essential for the welfare of your association, your college, the students and, incidentally, to yourselves. You join us, we know, in expressing our sincerest appreciation to our present and past officers, committee members, and fund workers, for their efforts and loyalty to Georgia Tech. Their only compensations are within their own hearts and, like yours, those hearts make everything worth while. Respectfully submitted, R. J. THIESEN, Secretary, Hay 4, 1934. National Georgia Tech Alumni Association.
A letter from James R. Frink, former student at Georgia Tech, lost at sea off the coast of China, was received Monday, April 23, by R. J. Thiesen, secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association and editor of the Georgia Tech Alumnus Magazine. Frink's letter was postmarked "Shanghai, China, March 25, 1934." Frink and Robert Gast, of Louisville, Ky., have been unreported since they hopped off on the Shang-hai-Canton mail route Tuesday morning, April 10. With them was Ivan Carison, of Donna, Texas, communications superintendent of the Shanghai-Canton air line, on an inspection trip, and a Japanese business man as passenger. Efforts to establish radio contacts with the lost fliers have been unsuccessful. Frank Hawks, American speed pilot, participated in the search for the lost plane, believed to have been forced down in fog-bound waters. The letter written by James Frink approximately two weeks before his fateful flight, is quoted in part, as follows: ' ' Shanghai, March 25, 1934. " M r . R. J. Thiesen, " E d i t o r Georgia Tech Alumnus, "Georgia School of Technology, " A t l a n t a , Ga., U. S. A. " D e a r Jack: Just a line to satisfy my innate curiosity. My family forwarded a copy of the Alumnus to me and in it I saw a notice to the effect that I was now in China. Inasmuch as that was the January issue and I did not leave the states until the 3rd of January, how did you find out so soon 1 " Y o u may or may not be interested in my work out here, but you are going to be told, so read on, sir! " I am working for the Pacific American Airways, flying from'Shanghai to Canton and return, with stops in Wenchow, Foochow, Amoy and Swatow en route. We carry mail and passengers and are doing a very good business at present. I am flying as co-pilot at present, but expect to be what we term a senior pilot at a not too distant time. " A t the present time we are based in Shanghai, and I am living at the Foreign Y. M. C. A., which is totally different from any other Y that I have ever seen. In fact, it is the most popular abode for young bachelors and there are over 200 young men living here. " J a c k , drop me a line when and if you can and tell me about the school and Atlanta. ' ' Sincerely, (Signed) " J I M M I E F R I N K . " James R. Frink was graduated from Georgia Tech with honors in the class of 1930. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, Phi Kappa Phi, highest honorary scholastic society, Scabbard and Blade, Koseme, Skull and Key, and a number of other campus societies. As an outstanding campus leader, he was a captain in the Naval R. 0. T. C , a substitute quarterback on the football team and regular third-baseman on the baseball team.
Recent Grads Entertain in New York Friday evening, March 23rd, a small group of recent Georgia Tech graduates held an informal gathering at the Yorkshire Apartment in New York City. Those entertaining were graduates of the classes of 1932 and 1933, and are still to be remembered for their prominence and activity on the campus and among the young college set of Atlanta. A number of Southern young ladies, spending their Easter vacation in New York City, were chosen as guests of the occasion. The Georgia Tech hosts were: Mr. Louis Brine, Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Henry Burks, Birmingham, Ala.; Mr. Jack Conniff, Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Ed Crouch, Griffin, Ga.; Mr. Jules Gray, Haralson, Ga.; Mr. Cecil Johnson, Columbus, Ga.; Mr. Dana Johnson, Columbus, Ga.; Mr. John Maddox, Bainbridge, Ga.; Mr. Paul Maggioni, Savannah, Ga.; Mr. Emery Nash, Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Harry 0 'Brien, Savannah, Ga., and Mr. Raymond Lester, Columbus, Ga.
Regents Name New Chairman Marion Smith, prominent Atlanta attorney, was recently named chairman of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Andrew Kingery, clerk of the house of representatives, secretary and treasurer of the board, succeeding the late Izzie Bashinski. The new chairman and secretary were elected at a meeting at which a number of changes were made in institution heads and budgets adopted carrying expenses about $40,000 less than those incurred this year by the university system. The new chairman succeeds Cason J. Callaway, of LaGrange. Mr. Smith was appointed to the board by Governor Talmadge as a member from the state at large when Philip Weltner became chancellor. Mr. Smith is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and a son of the late Senator Hoke Smith.
Boxer Wins Title Elmo Freyer, sensational Tech boxer, was awarded a decision over Neal Milam, of Fort Benning, in the final round of the southeastern A. A. U. tournament to win the welterweight crown. Tony Scordas, also of Tech, was defeated in the finals of the flyweight division, but was presented a runner-up's trophy for his performance. Although boxing was eliminated from Tech's athletic program with the curtailment of several sports last spring, these two boys continued training and were in fine shape for the tourney.
Alumni Head Atlanta Rotary The Atlanta Rotary Club elected as its president for the year of 1934 Mr. Joel C. Harris, Jr., well known Atlantian and southern representative of the Kelly-Smith Company. Mr. Harris is a member of the class of 1908. Mr. Mark C. Pope, Jr., 1918, was elected sergeant-at-arms. The election took place at the Capital City Club luncheon on April 10. The new officers will be installed at the first meeting of the Rotary Club in July. Mr. Harris is a son of the late Joel Chandler Harris, famed author of southern stories. Both Mr. Harris and Mr. Pope have been active in the affairs of the Rotary Club for many years and they have been loyal Tech supporters since their undergraduate days.

Tech Wins Conference Net Titles
1934
Walker Stars on Track Team
Led by the scintillating play of Billy Reese, nationally high ranking collegiate net star the Jacket tennis team swept through the 1934 season with only one defeat. In the initial engagement of the year the Davidson netsters eeked out a 5-to-4 verdict over the Jackets to keep them from going undefeated. However, the Tech team finished in a blaze of glory by taking the team award and all of the individual trophies in the Southeastern Conference tennis tournament held at the Biltmore Tennis Club in Atlanta. In addition to Reese, Hank Crawford, Tommy Tumlin, Nelson Maynard, Fernandez Morrell, Randy West, Marion Rivers, and Malcolm Reiser composed the squad. Maynard, West, and Rivers will be lost by graduation, but the team will get ample support from this year's freshman team. Reese, along with Burtz Boulware, freshman football and tennis ace, will leave immediately following the Southern net meet in Atlanta to participate in all of the prominent eastern tennis tourneys. The barn-storming tour will include the following tournaments: National Intercollegiate at Merion Cricket Club, Delekare State, Seabright, Rye, Southampton, Longwood Bowl, and winding up with the National Singles Championship at Forest Hills. The results of 1934 tennis season are as follows: Tech 10—Fort Benning Officers Club 0 Tech 4—Davidson 5 Tech 8—Alabama 2 Tech 7—Florida 2 Tech 7—Georgia 1 Tech 6—Emory 2 Southeastern Conference tournament: Singles—Reese; Runner-up, Crawford.

Pen-in Walker, one of the greatest all-time tracksters in collegiate circles and a sophomore at Tech, has set a new high in points gained by a single man. Walker can do every thing from high jump to shot put. Having won several hundred-yard dashes at the beginning of the track season he was entered in the other events of the various meets and either came out first or took a place on all of them. As an example of Walker's ability let us look at the results of the meet with Clemson, a meet which came at the beginning of the season when men are usually not at their best. Walker set a new southern record in the hundred yard dash with a nine and six-tenths second sprint. He threw the shot into first place with a thrust of forty-three feet and seven inches. Back to the track again, he tied the southern record for the two hundred and twenty yard PERRIX WALKER dash, with another first place, in twenty-one and two-tenths seconds. Then the coach sent him to the bar for high jumping where he tied for first place with a six-foot jump. The only place Walker fell down was in the broad jump where he took second place because Coach George Griffin let him have only one try. Beat it if you can! The track team as a whole has had a very successful season, having lost only one meet during the entire schedule. The team has already starred in six meets and there will be two more, namely: the Southeastern Conference Meet to be held at Birmingham, and the Southeastern A. A. U. which will be held in Atlanta on June 2. The results of the season's meets appear below: Tech 66J ----- Georgia 631 Tech 10b .... Vand'blt 25 Tech 87 .... Clemson 44 Tech 64 .... Alabama 67 Tech 65J ----- Auburn 601 Tech 771 —Kentucky 461 It may be added that Auburn was defeated for the first time in five years in a dual meet.

Baseball Team Plays W e l l
Champions A t Tech
Playing an unusually good game of baseball throughout the season, the Jackets climaxed an already sueeesful season by winning the city championship. They have won nine out of the eighteen games played. There are two more games to be played with Vanderbilt to determine the winner of that series. The general interest of the students in the baseball team was surprisingly increased this season, due largely to the excellent teamwork displayed in the games. Below is given a brief summary of the games played, the dates, the place at which they were played and the results of the games to date: April 6, Auburn 4; Tech 10—played at Tech. April 7, Auburn 7; Tech 4—played at Tech. April 0, Florida 2; Tech 3—played at Tech. April 10, Florida 18; Tech 6—played at Tech. April 13, Alabama 5; Tech 9—played at Tuscaloosa. April 14, Alabama 1 1 ; Tech 2—played at Tuscaloosa. April 16, Vandy 9; Tech 7—played at Nashville. April 17, Vandy 3 ; Tech 5—played at Nashville. April 20, Alabama 4; Tech 3—played at Tech. April 21, Alabama 8; Tech 1—played at Tech. April 23, Oglethorpe 2; Tech 3—played at Tech. April 27, Auburn 0; Tech 1—played at Auburn. April 30, Oglethorpe 4; Tech 7—played at Oglethorpe. May 1, Oglethorpe 4; Tech 2—played at Oglethorpe. May 4, Georgia 7; Tech 9—played at Tech. May 5, Georgia 4; Tech 3—played at Tech. May 11, Georgia 8; Tech 9—played at Athens. May 12, Georgia. 4; Tech 3—played at Athens.
Rarely does one institution have four such champions as are making names for themselves at Tech this year. These boys, all starring in different lines of sporting activity, are: Perrin Walker, brilliant sophomore one-man track team; Charlie Yates, high ranking national and intercollegiate golf star; Billy Reese, sixth ranking national collegiate net luminary : and Elmo Freyer, A. A. U. boxing champion. Both Yates and Reese are to enter plenty of national competition this summer and are likely to better their present positions. Walker is to enter the national intercollegiate track meet and should earn several places.
Swimming Team Wins A l l Meets The Tech swimming team splashed through another undefeated season bj- winning every meet in which it participated. This is the fourth year the swimming team has been victorious over all of their opponents. It seems a little unusual that Tech can produce such good results when she does not even have a swimming pool that she can call her own. Not only is Tech handicapped in this matter, but the swimming team is at the disadvantage of having only a small appropriation with which to carry on its activities. But fighting all of these disadvantages, the students have turned out whole-heartedly and have set a record unexcelled by any other southern college or university. Members composing the varsity squad were: Catts, Williams, Austin, Johnson, Terrell in the dashes; Brown and

Golf Team Again Undefeated Aided by the fine play of all members the Tech golf team drove through all opposition to again turn in a season of no losses in collegiate matches. Charley Yates, Frank Ridley, George Harris, Berrien Moore, and John Ridley composed the Tech team that won all matches by overwhelming margins, from such schools as Georgia, Furman, Davidson, Florida, Tennessee, and others that offered the best available collegiate competition in the South. It is hoped that the Tech golfers may again participate in the national intercollegiate tournament. Barring a tough break, similar to that which interrupted last year's competition for the Jackets in which Harris aecidently played the wrong ball, thus disqualifying the Tech entries, the Jackets should be able to give a good account of themselves. The results of the season is as follows: Tech 54—Florida J Tech 15 —Furman 3 Tech 16 —Georgia 2 Tech 171—Tennessee 4 Tech 18 —Davidson 0 Tech 174—Tennessee i (Return match).

Graduation Exercises Georgia Tech commencement last year introduced an innovation in having the graduating exercises held in the Rose Bowl. This location was found to be an improvement over the previous location in that a very much larger audience could he seated comfortably and in the shade during the exercises. This year it has been decided to have the baccalaureate sermon also in the Rose Bowl. These exercises will be held at 5:00 p.m., Sunday afternoon, June 3. The faculty and seniors will fall in at 4:30 p.m. on Fifth Street and will march to their seats in the stands while the choir is singing "Onward Christian Soldiers." The invocation will be made by Dr. Robert Orme Flinn, Pastor of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church. The Right Reverend H. J. Mikell, Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon. The graduating exercises will be held as last year, in the Rose Bowl, at 10:00 a.m., Monday, June 4. The faculty and seniors will fall in on Fifth Street at 9:30 a.m. and march across the Rose Bowl Field to their seats on the rostrum and grand stands, respectively. Dr. W. H. Knight, Pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, will deliver the Invocation. The commencement address will be delivered by Rear Admiral Thomas Charles Hurt, U. S. Navy, the superintendent of the I". S. Naval Academy. He will also later confer the commissions on the military and naval R. O. T. C. graduates. It is felt that with the increased seating capacity for the Georgia.

Rome Alumni Entertain Prospective Tech Students Rome chapter of Georgia Tech Alumni is planning a barbecue for prospective Tech students to be held May 26, at the IV. S. Gibbons place on Cave Spring road, near Six Miles station. At the supper meeting Saturday evening at Hotel Forrest with R. A. Morgan, president of the Rome Chapter, presiding, several projects were discussed and it was voted to have the barbecue. Mr. Morgan introduced Rome and Darlington students, who are planning to enter Tech next fall. Special guests at the supper meeting were Jack Thiesen, officer of the National alumni chapter, and George Griffin, Dean of Men at Tech and Track coach. Forty members of the Rome chapter attended the dinner which was served in the private dining room of Hotel Forrest.
R. O . T. C. Heads Leave Tech l.t. Colonel Olin H. Longino, B.S. in E.E., '07, PMS & T. of the Tech R. O. T. C , and Captain J J. London, 1T. S. N., commandant of the Tech Naval R. O. T. C, have been given orders to leave Tech for duty elsewhere, effective June 1 of this year. Colonel Longino, for several years head of the R. O. T. C. at Tech, will take up his new assignment at the Coast Artillery School. Captain London will leave Tech about June 1 to assume command of the cruiser, U.S.S. Memphis. Both officers have made enviable records while at Tech, and their departure is keenly felt by students and faculty members. Major Thomas Jones, a graduate of the United State Naval Academy, and for the past few years detailed for duty in the Philippine Islands, is to report in September to take over the work of Colonel Longino.

Professor McDaniel has taken an active part in the Society for the past four years, having been a member of the Executive Committee and participated in its programs each summer.
Student Conference at Blue Ridge There will be held June 9-19 the annual Blue Ridge Student Conference of the Christian Associations in the Southern Region. For more than a generation southern students have met in conference in the Blue Ridge mountains to seek together new vision and knowledge and power for their lives and their tasks on the campuses of the South. From university and college alike they have come, attracted by the enthusiasm and loyalty of those who had been to Blue Ridge before. In the years past men and women have met in separate conferences. This year, for the first time, they meet together at Blue Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;over three hundred leading students of the southern colleges. Increasingly for several years southern students have felt that a joint conference could deal more effectively with life's mutual interests and problems.
