A BY THE TIME you scan these words, the man facing you on the cover of this issue will have taught his last class at Georgia Tech. After 35 years of being—• in every sense of the word—a teacher, Fred B. Wenn is retiring. It is doubtful that in all of those challenging 35 years Fred Wenn had experienced a more exciting or more exacting month than his last one on the campus. In that 30-day period, he was (1) the guest of honor at countless dinners and luncheons . . . (2) made the lone honorary member of the Class of 1958 . . . (3) presented a plaque by the students in recognition of his 35 years of service and his outstanding contributions to the student body . . . (4) notified that the 1958 Blue Print was dedicated in his honor . . . and (5) informed that his subscription to the Wall Street Journal was paid up for the coming year.

He was one of the great ones—a man proud of his profession and fiercely dedicated to its highest ideals. And we— whose lives were touched by his particular brand of magic—will never forget the help he gave us. * * * A LAST MONTH we promised that this issue would contain, among other things, a report on the mood of the Class of 1958 at commencement. While doing the research we found that despite the recession the mood was just about the same as the Class of 1956 that we covered in these pages two years ago. so we postponed the article for a year or so.

THE COVER Fred B. Wenn stands before the last investments' class that he will teach at Tech. Appropriately enough the class is reading the Wall Street Journal, which for years has served as an important working text for Professor Wenn's classes in finance and investments. For more about Professor Wenn and his retirement turn to page two of the year's final issue.

ITH ALL THE RECENT PUBLICITY concerning illegal recruiting practices by alumni of other institutions, I thought that this would be a good time to ask Coach Bobby Dodd to say a few words to you about Georgia Tech's recruiting policies. This is the way Coach Dodd outlined his philosophy in a recent letter to me: "The basic rule concerning recruiting of football players that all Georgia Tech alumni should keep in mind is that the institution is held responsible for any actions of the alumni that might affect potential recipients oj athletic scholarships. All Tech alumni can help with our recruiting program, but it is imperative that this help follow proper channels. Here is the way you can aid us: "First, sell Georgia Tech as a school every chance you get to everyone you can. I know you are proud of having graduated from a great school. And you will contribute greatly by telling young and old what it has meant to you to be a Georgia Tech graduate. "Secondly, do not do any direct recruiting yourself. This means do not contact families of prospective athletes, make promises to boys, or anything along that line. Not being familiar with the NCAA and Southeastern Conference regulations on recruiting, you might unintentionally violate a rule and as I pointed out before we are held responsible for any actions of the alumni concerning athletes. "We have tried to set up committees of two or three alumni in locations where we are most active with our recruiting. These committee members are thoroughly familiar with national and Conference regulations, and know our recruiting plans for their section. We believe it is to the best interest of the school and the AthleticAssociation that we do all of our direct recruiting through these informed groups. "You keep selling Georgia Tech to your community. That will be the greatest contribution you can make to the Athletic Association and the school as a whole." If you see an outstanding football player that is the Tech type drop Coach Dodd a line and let him carry on from there. If you have any other questions concerning Tech's athletic policies, I suggest you contact Coach Dodd.

WEBER OF M. E. Except for a leave of absence to complete his Ph.D. work, Dr. Homer S. Weber has been at Tech since 1919 as a student, teacher and, since 1946, as director of the School of Mechanical Engineering. He called the supplementation program "a means of improving the quality of teaching whose fine effect is especially noticeable in graduate courses which provide the incentive and training for the younger members of the staff."

A GREAT MORALE BOOSTER That is what the directors of Tech's 13 schools call the faculty supplementation program made possible through your Roll Call support of the faculty supplementation X J L program—made possible by your support of the annual Roll Calls and contributions from business and industry—the 13 directors of Tech's schools called it "the greatest boost to staff morale in the Institute's history." These teaching administrators—more than any group on the campus—are aware of the problems of securing and maintaining a top-flight faculty in this technological age. It is their responsibility to search out the new faculty members that meet Tech's expanding requirements as well as to try and hold on to the top teachers now on the campus. With the faculty supplementation program now upped from last year's $75,000 to $125,000 for 1958-59 by the Foundation Board, The Alumnus presents some of the personal observations of these 13 important educators on this and the next six pages. A T THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR

July, 1958

MORALE BOOSTER Continued

DUTTON OF A. E Five years after Donnell Dutton arrived on the Tech campus in 1938 as a graduate assistant he was made director of the School of Aeronautics. Here are his thoughts on the program: "I know of no other alumni group that is doing anything to compare with it . . . Last year was the first in over 10 years in which we have not lost a faculty member . . . I hope that in the near future the State will accept the responsibility for a salary scale that will allow the alumni to concentrate on helping in other ways such as support of laboratories, instrumentation and research."

MITCHELL OF CER. E. Dr. Lane Mitchell is another Georgia Tech alumnus. He received his B.S. at*Tech in 1929 and except for military leave and time out to take his advanced degrees he has been a member of the teaching, research and administrative staff since 1936. He became head of his department in 1941 and reacted this way to the supplementation program: "It has meant that we have been able to retain members of our staff despite competitive offers . . . and it has allowed a more generous spread of State money to those members of the staff not supplemented. It has meant a lot to us." Tech Alumnus

NEWTON OF CH. E. For the past three years, Dr. William M. Newton has been acting director of the School of Chemical Engineering. This month he is giving up his administrative duties to return to his real loves, teaching and research. "The faculty supplementation program saved Tech's neck," said the man who has been a professor at Tech since 1947. "When it came along we were just on the brink of losing a large number of our people. Now we can hold the people we have and present a more competitive position in efforts to secure new ones."

STIEMKE OF C. E. Robert E. Stiemke came to Tech from Penn State in 1950 as professor and director of the School of Civil Engineering. He considers the supplementation program of supreme consequence during the past year. "The money itself is, of course, the primary factor," he says. "But also significant is the faculty's awareness that the alumni and business and industry are interested in Georgia Tech to the extent of participating in this support."

July, 1958

MORALE BOOSTER continued

DASHER OF E. E. Dr. Benjamin J. Dasher came to Tech as a co-op student in 1931. He received his B.S. in 1935 and his M.S. in 1945 both in the school which he now heads. Except for three years spent at M.I.T. as a teacher and graduate student (he received his Sc.D. from there in 1952) he has been teaching at Tech since 1939. He was appointed director of the E. E. School in 1955. He agrees 100% with the other school heads that the supplementation program is a great morale factor. "We would have lost three of our top teachers last year if it had not been for this program," he says. "In fact, one of them had handed in his resignation and then asked me to tear it up when the new program was explained to him."

GROSECLOSE OF I. E. When the Industrial Engineering School was formed at Tech in 1945, Frank F. Groseclose was called from the U. S. Military Academy to be its first director. "The supplementation program came at a time when we were losing heavily to other institutions, both from our own staff and in competition for replacements," says the man who has seen the I. E. School grow into one of Tech's largest in 12 years. "It also headed off a feeling that there had been too much emphasis on areas other than engineering at a place noted for its engineering alumni."

Tech Alumnus

TAYLOR OF T. E. Named acting director of the A. French Textile School in January, Dr. James L. Taylor is the newest member of this group. "I know the importance of supplementation programs," says Dr. Taylor, a teacher at Tech for over 22 years. "We have had a similar program in the Textile School for years supported by the Textile Education Foundation and it has been very helpful in maintaining the quality of our faculty."

CHEMISTRY'S SPICER Dr. William Monroe Spicer was a teacher of chemistry at Georgia Tech for 20 years before he took over as head of the School of Chemistry in 1955. He agrees that the program is a great boost to morale and that it has helped maintain a quality staff at Tech. And he adds, "The increased salaries resulting from this program makes it more and more possible for the staff to devote all of their working time and effort to Tech. This has made members of our staff realize that effort beyond the routine will be rewarded and appreciated as it should be." July, 1958

MORALE BOOSTER Continued

MATHEMATICS' SLEDD Dr. Marvin B. Sledd was appointed director of the School of Mathematics last September. He came to Tech as a teacher and research associate in the fall of 1951. "The support and encouragement of the Foundation and Alumni Association and the personal interest of those who manage their affairs have played an important part in the recent development of the School of Mathematics, "says the man who heads one of Tech's youngest schools and oldest departments. "In these days, it would be difficult to prevent our present staff from disintegrating without this help, and it would be even more difficult to attract the additional qualified personnel that we need so desperately if we are to continue to grow with the rest of Tech."

PHYSICS' HOWEY Tech's School of Physics is another of its service departments which became a degree-granting school and now serves double duty on the campus. Dr. Joseph H. Howey has been head of physics since 1936, a year after he came to Tech as a professor. "Some years before this supplementation program began, we had started to offer the Ph. D. degree in physics," says Dr. Howey. "The project was possible only through the faith and enthusiasm of some of our young staff members. Until last year the program was carried on without financial encouragement and was in danger of complete collapse when the supplement came along and saved it. You can imagine how our staff feels about this program and our loyal alumni."

BREWSTER OF I. M. When H. E. Dennison, father of Tech's Industrial Management School, retired a couple of years ago, Maurice R. Brewster, long a professor of marketing, was appointed director. Mr. Brewster, in discussing the program, points out, "Although few of our teachers participate directly in the program, the mere knowledge of it has greatly improved the incentive for our younger staff members to complete work on their advanced degrees and strive for a supplement."

ARCHITECTURE'S HEFFERNAN Paul M. Heffernan came to Tech as an associate professor of architecture in 1938 after an exceptional student record at Iowa State, Harvard, the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He became head of the School of Architecture in 1956. Mr. Heffernan feels that the Foundation program kept two of his present staff members from leaving Tech last year but adds, "This program will mean even more this year when we attempt to hire some qualified people for unfilled positions to keep us growing."

(8) helping to support Tech's extensive student guidance and testing program . . .

Last year the Foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now a dynamic organization completely dedicated to aiding Tech â&#x20AC;&#x201D; organized a Speakers Bureau program. The purpose of this program was to acquaint Georgia businessmen with the many services Tech provides for business and industry. Charles R. Yates, '35, as chairman of the program, enlisted the aid of Tech alumni in key cities throughout the state to be the contacts to sell this Speakers Bureau program to the civic clubs in their particular cities. During the first year of the program, over 30 Tech teachers and researchers made 128 individual speeches in 46 cities and towns in Georgia. They traveled from Ringgold to Bainbridge and from Clayton to Brunswick to speak on a variety of subjects ranging from "Earth Satellites" to "Your Children in a Technical World." They appeared before Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan, Exchange and Jaycee Clubs. They talked to alumni clubs, church groups, parent-teacher groups, women's clubs, and special technical associations. Over 8,000 of the most important people in Georgia heard "The Georgia Tech Story . . . for Business and Industry," as the program is called. The response to this program has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. After each talk the Foundation asked the program chairman of the group involved to comment on his group's reaction to the speaker. Here are a few of these comments. July, 1958

Tech Foundation President Ivan Allen, Jr., '33, (R) is congratulated by Tech President Harrison and Alumni Association President Charlie Simons, '37, for receiving the 1958 Alumni Distinguished Service Award. Al-

len was presented the award at Commencement for "his unselfish devotion to Tech . . . and his dedication to the ideal of higher education." W. J. "Jack" Holman, '28, was this year's commencement speaker.

"I am sure it is a worth-while project for the Foundation to make available such talks as you gave to the various civic clubs over the state. Surely it will make people stop and think what we have in Georgia and how we can better our situation." (Swainsboro) "Not only was his talk most timely, but it brought us face to face with conditions as they exist in such a manner that we are better informed to take our place in the economic structure of the nation which is definitely moving South." (College Park) "The entire membership felt that they would have enjoyed hearing him for longer than the thirty minutes allotted him. This, itself, is an unusual compliment from a civic club." (Dublin) "Your Speakers' Program is indeed a fine service to the State of Georgia and we feel sure that through this program the people of our state will realize the various ways in which Georgia Tech is helping industry and business in Georgia and the South." (Barnesville) "We had better attendance than we have had in several months . . . approximately ninety of our members stayed fifteen or twenty minutes overtime asking him questions." (Albany) "Thank you for your program that makes these fine young men available to the people." (Brunswick) In several instances local groups have been inspired by Tech speakers to initiate a further project, beyond their luncheon

club meetings, for which they have asked help of the Speakers Bureau. Example No. 1: In West Point the Rotary Club was so impressed with a talk on satellites by Dr. Vernon Crawford of the School of Physics, that they arranged for the three local high schools to hold special assemblies on the same day so that Dr. Crawford could present his talk to all the local high school students. Over 1,000 students attended the assemblies. Example No. 2: The Columbus Chamber of Commerce has been discussing the desirability of an industrial development survey of the area. After hearing Dr. John Fulmer of Tech's Industrial Development research group speak on the subject, they asked if a program might be co-ordinated so that Dr. Fulmer could help the Chamber of Commerce sell its idea of an industrial development survey by speaking to other civic clubs in the area. A plan has been worked out whereby the Speakers Bureau chairman in Columbus and the head of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce will coordinate plans for various speaking engagements in the area. The entire Industrial Development research staff at Tech has offered its services to fill these engagements. The success of the faculty supplementtation program and the Speakers Bureau dictates their continuance for the years to come. The Foundation has come a long way in its first 25 years and is looking forward to even more progress in the next quarter century. 13

ICE CUBES IN SPACE? Actually this is a carbon platinum replica of magnesium oxide smoke at a magnification of 20,000 times.

An important research tool also produces photographs that are things of rare artistic beauty Special Photographs by the Georgia Tech Electron Microscope

THE FASCINATING WORLD OF THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE shown on the page opposite is an important scientific research tool known as the electron microscope. For the past 12 years, this particular oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;first installed in the Southeastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been in constant operation at the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station. Capable of direct magnifications of 24 times that of the best optical microsopes, this research tool has been used at Tech in a wide variety of ways ranging from studies of clay particles to research on the light and dark adapted sections of the retina of a cat's eye. The electron microscope has two major advantages over the optical variety: the previously mentioned superior resolving power and a greater depth of field, a factor that results in better micrographs (photographs made through a microscope). Because of the wave nature of visible light used to illuminate the sample, the useful magnification of the optical microscope is limited to about 1,000 X. But, as its name implies, the electron microscope uses as its illumination medium a beam of electrons whose shorter wave length characteristic permits the greater resolution of fine detail. The comparatively large depth of focus of the electron microscope makes it even more valuable as its micrographs can be enlarged to as much as 200,000 times that of the sample. The electron microscope proper consists of a metal tube (the column) about three feet long and several inches in diameter. This column is made in sections fitted together with numerous vacuum seals allowing it to be evacuated. The arrangement of parts is like those of an optical

microscope turned upside-down. Instead of the light beneath the stage, the source of illumination is a small "V" tungsten filament at the top of the tube. When heated this filament boils off electrons. Near the filament is an electrode of 50,000 volts potential which yanks the electrons from the filament and fires them down the evacuated column. Within the column are four lenses (condenser, objective and two projector lenses) which bend the electron beam just as the optical lenses bend the light. The condenser lens brings the beam together and controls its intensity. The beam then passes through the specimen (placed on a stage above the objective lens) producing a shadowgraph of it. Then the objective lens forms an enlarged image of the specimen and the dual projector lenses form still larger images and project them onto a flourescent screen where they are viewed by the researcher. Since installed at Tech, the electron microscope has undergone a series of engineering changes aimed at increasing its ability to perform. Its major uses have been in particle and surface studies of clay minerals. But it has been used in studies of fertilizers, insecticides, air pollution, ball-point pen inks, quartz crystals, glass, magnetic recording tape, paper surfaces, bacteria, virus particles, spores, textile fibers, rocket nose cones and many other materials. Aside from its scientific capabilities, the electron microscope is capable of developing micrographs that are interesting to look at from an artistic point of view. On the following two pages, the Alumnus presents a look into this fascinating world that combines science and art. 15

Electron Microscope—Continued

Its photographs often resemble the Rorschach test

on these pages are micrographs made with Tech's electron microscope. The process is simple. Under the viewing screen is a 2 " by 10"glass plate covered with emulsion. The researcher turns off the lights, adjusts the intensity, flips up the view screen with a cable release and the instrument does the rest. The electrons expose the plate in negative form just as light exposes film. Many of the resulting micrographs resemble an artistic ink blot test as you can see from these samples which have original magnifications ranging from 7,000 times to 60,000 times. Take a look at them and see what impressions come to your mind at the first glance. HE PICTURES

HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED SINCE SPUTNIK

NTEREST IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS among high school students is definitely on the upgrade in Georgia. For proof, look no further than the pictures on this page taken in the Old Shop Building on a sunny May afternoon. These young men and women were among the 175 representing (voluntarily) 45 high schools in the counties of Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton and Cobb at the First Mathematical Competition sponsored by the Tech School of Mathematics. The tough three-hour examination in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and mathematical reasoning was prepared (also voluntarily) by the Tech math staff. The five prizes (TV set and cash awards of $50, $25, $15 and $10) went to boys representing the following schools, respectively: GMA, Southwest of Atlanta, Northside of Atlanta, Russell of East Point and Westminster School of Atlanta.

July, 1958

ATLANTA, GA.—Ten new members were inducted into the Georgia Tech "Hall of Fame" by Dean George Griffin at the April 24 meeting of the Greater Atlanta Club. Those selected for this honor were J. W. " 2 0 % " Davis, H. R. "Peter" Pund, and J. G. "Stumpy" Thomason in football; Ed Lafitte, baseball; Bo Johnston, basketball; Ed Hamm, track; Russell Bobbitt, tennis; Dave Young, swimming; Chick Aldredge, track and cross country; and Robert T. Jones, Jr., golf. Framed certificates were presented by Dean Griffin to those present (Thomason, Lafitte, Johnston and Bobbitt). Coach Dodd spoke on the 1958 football squad.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.—Over eighty-five members of the Birmingham Club met on May 16 to hear Coach Tonto Coleman talk on "Athletics and Georgia Tech." The popular Tech Assistant Athletic Director was introduced by toastmaster L. Carl Smith, '31, club president. During the business meeting. Joe Brasfield, '38, introduced the eight candidates for the Birmingham Club scholarships. Mark Smith of Woodlawn High School was named winner of the annual scholarship. Walter Coxe, '22, announced that the family of the late C. Lynn Strickland, '30, has established a $1,000 scholarship fund for Alabama students attending Georgia Tech. This memorial grant will be administered through Dean Griffin and Registrar W. L. Carmichael. Special guest Bob Eskew gave a brief report on the Roll Call. He complimented the Birmingham alumni who under the leadership of Jim Collins, '35, had a 60 per cent participation in the 11 th Roll Call.

NEW YORK, N. Y.—The Spring meeting of the New York Club was held April 16 at the Reeves Sound Studio with 132 members and guests present. Special guest Mrs. Dorothy Crosland, Tech's director of libraries, gave an interesting account of the libraries and the influence of Tech coeds on campus life. Dr. Charles Fore Wilkinson, Jr., Ch. E. '32-Professor and Chairman, Dept. of Medicine, New York University Graduate Scljpol and Robert L. Rod, E.E.
