A ALONG IN EARLY DECEMBER when the dying agonies of a year are most noticeable, our thoughts drift back over the past 12 months. One of man's greatest assets is his ability to remember only the better things over the long run, while another is that each year for each man is a different proposition. The things that one man will remember, another will dismiss as trivia, for no two of us travel the same path.

For us, 1959 was an awkward and trying year—a year designed for frustration.

Yet, there were things worth remembering: The pulse-quickening play of Tech's two great little guards—Blemker and Randall—as they grew to national figures in a sport tailored for giants.

That feeling of joy as you are driven away from a hospital after a couple of weeks of misery. And the tears that just a sunset can bring after you have first encountered the lingering doubt that you might never see one again.

The choked sound coming through a telephone as your dedicated editorial assistant tells you her only son may have polio. Then the elation of thanks when after a month of paralysis he finally walks again.

Joe Pittard, leaning on a fungo bat, making a decision that wins a ball game.

The look of the campus on a spring evening and the sounds issuing from the Old Shop Building as the Evening School gets underway. * * * A NEW YORK IN J U N E .

Anne Bancroft's sensitive portrayal in "Two for the Seesaw," and the way she reacted to her final curtain calls on the night she left the show after 18 months.

The magic of Gwen Verdon on any stage and the sound of that little-girl voice coming from that big-girl body.

The roar of the crowd as Johansson floored Patterson for the first time and the strange diamond-look of Yankee Stadium at night.

The soft quiet of the campus on an evening in summer.

The feeling you get when you open your mail after a three-week trip and find that the Alumnus has finally placed in the national competition.

The job that Bob Eskew did in his first season as athletic business manager

and the way he stood up and was counted under the pressure of the "Wheel Chair" incident that started during the Auburn game and seemed to continue forever.

The energy of Fred W. Ajax and the dedication of George C. Griffin as they go about the daily grind.

The gifted prose of Jimmy Cannon of the New York Journal-American.

The smile on Ed Danforth's well-lined face when he was made an honorary member of the Alumni Association and the lines that he spoke: "I know what they are saying in Athens. They're saying, 'that so-and-so was always a Tech man, it's about time they acknowledged it" A THE GRACEFUL WAY Bobby Dodd took some of the greatest victories and bitterest defeats of his career.

The way that Dr. Edwin D . Harrison handled the crowd of students at the first all-student meeting in modern times, and his devotion to Georgia Tech.

The press box at South Bend and the way Charlie Callahan runs it.

The sound of Bob Scobey's band in a dixieland club in Chicago. And the taste of the food at Danny's in New York and the Club Bali in Daytona.

The strength that Deans Paul Weber and Jesse Mason bring to two of the toughest jobs on this campus. And the quiet way Roane Beard goes about his seemingly endless parade of tasks.

The friendship of people like Joe Guthridge, Tech's placement director, and assistant coaches, Whitey Urban and Charlie Tate.

A THE FEEL OF your first Leica.

The growth of Bill Diehl as a photojournalist.

"An Evening with Fred Astaire" with your family seeing "Old Dad's" greatness for the first time.

Maxie the magnificient — rawboned, red-faced, growling—standing guard over the fortunes of the Jackets from his line-backer's spot.

The smell of ink . . . the sound of presses . . . the smile of Jane and the way she can communicate with a few strokes of a brush where you fail with thousands of taps on a typewriter.

place in this area has just been announced by Registrar William Carmichael.

Beginning with the summer term of 1960, Georgia Tech will have two different sets of admission requirements: one for students planning to major in engineering or science (Group I), and one for those planning to major in architecture, industrial management, or textiles (Group II). Here are the new requirements: GROUP I (Engineering or Science) English 4 Algebra 2 Plane Geometry . . .

1 Trigonometry . . . . % History 1 Science 2 Others 6

Group II (Arch., I.M., Textiles) English Algebra Plane Geometry . . .

History Science Others

4 2 1 1 2 6

Those in Group I are urged to take 1/2 year of advanced algebra and a year each of chemistry and physics.

In addition to the scholastic units mentioned above, Georgia Tech presently uses the following criteria to judge its high school applicants: (1) Graduation from an accredited high school.

(2) Overall high school point average (over 75 percent of Tech's 1,230 freshmen this year were in the upper third of their high school class).

(3) Results of College Entrance Examination Board Tests.

(4) Recommendation of principal, teachers, and alumni.

Georgia Tech reserves the right in every case to reject any applicant whose general records and attitude do not predict success in the Institute's environment notwithstanding the completion of other requirements.

Applicants must comply with such other procedures, including personal interviews and psychological or other tests, as may be necessary to determine the applicant's general fitness for admission to the Institute.

Acceptance or rejection of each and every application will be determined by the Director of Admissions, subject to the right of appeal as provided in the by-laws of the Board of Regents of the University System.

If you require further information or need application blanks, please write the Registrar's office.

SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY

by Vernon D. Crawford, Professor of Physics

I

OR THE FIRST SIXTEEN CENTURIES of

the

Christian era the history of western man has been largely determined by the impact of Christianity on the older forms of thought.

The Christian influence began as an intimate experience in the lives of a handful of people closely associated with the Master. Yet, in the short space of three hundred years, (and in spite of the persecutions to which Christians were subjected) it grew to the extent that it could successfully challenge the might of the most powerful empire the world had known, the empire of Rome. It well may be that the Christianizing of the Roman emDecember, 1959

pire resulted more from practical political considerations than from the sincere religious conversion of the majority of the Roman people. Even granting this, one cannot but be amazed at the virility of a faith which in three short centuries could show such a growth in the number of its adherents, nominal though many of them undoubtedly were.

But, an even greater evidence of strength was still to be manifested. When the Roman empire eventually collapsed under the influences of internal corruptions and external pressures, a detached Continued on page 6

SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cont. observer (if there were any at that time) must surely have been convinced that he had witnessed the end of Christianity as an organized religion.

But, although the dark ages succeeded in burying, for a time, everything else pertaining to the Mediterranean cultures, the body of Christianity refused to be interred. In countless Christian monasteries throughout Europe and Asia the flame which Jesus of Nazareth had ignited continued to burn in the hearts of a few men. As a result the Church, through its monasteries, succeeded in preserving not only the body of the faith but many of the fruits of the Greek and Roman cultures as well.

Only because of this custodian service was the startling success of the Renaissance possible.

IN the middle ages, and of course later, the Christian Church had a determining effect upon the lives of most of the individuals of the western world as well as upon the politics of the states of Europe and, after their founding, of the states of North and South America. So it may in truth be stated that for sixteen centuries the history of western man has been the history of Christianity and the Christian Church.

What of science during this period? Despite the fact that the Persians, the Greeks, particularly the Arabs, and in this hemisphere the Mayans, had made some remarkable discoveries in astronomy and mathematics, scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the sense in which we use the term todayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;may be said to date from the beginning of the seventeenth century. If the discovery of the scientific method may be attributed to any individual, that individual was Galileo.

Others, notably Sir Francis Bacon and William Gilbert, appreciated the importance of observation and experiment to the development of an understanding of the ultimate nature of things.

But, it was Galileo who first exemplified the true spirit of the scientist. He combined the intuition which enabled him to ask meaningful questions of nature with the ingenuity to devise experiments designed to provide the answers; the careful attention to the pertinent details of his experiments; the ability to recognize and to minimize the anom-

alies introduced by extraneous influences; the analytical ability to formulate his results mathematically; and the persistence to test the predictions of his theories. His careful researches into the laws governing moving bodies, that branch of physics called kinematics, stands as a model which many who seek to serve the cause of science still contemplate with profit.

Galileo was a devout Christian and certainly had no intention of undermining the Church in anything that he did. However, when he shifted the subject matter of his researches from the field of kinematics to astronomy, around which churchmen had built a formidable body of ecclesiastical philosophy, he precipitated a storm which was to have long-lasting effects. Specifically, Galileo's researches led him to adopt the Copernican point of view according to which the sun, not the earth, was at the center of the solar system. This was regarded as heresy by the Church because it removed man, made in the very image of God, to a subordinate position in the cosmic arrangement.

Galileo was taken before the Inquisition, threatened with torture, forced to recant his views and to restrict his subsequent researches to uncontroversial subjects. This was the first of the conflicts between science and organized Christianity, and one of which the consequences are still being felt.

IN the three and one-half centuries since Galileo's time, science has made fantastic strides. There are three principal manifestations of this progress.

First, and for the scientist this is the meaningful one, we now have much clearer and more detailed knowledge of the physical universe than we have ever had; although, as every scientist knows, only the tiniest fraction of scientific truth has yet been discovered. Second, we enjoy a society which is built around the technological advances which increased scientific understanding has made possible. Third, the success of the scientific method in these two respects has given birth to attitudes toward science which were once reserved for religion.

In science, many see the salvation of man while others see only the means of his ultimate destrucContinued on page 8 Tech Alumnus

ait of the Author

Since 1949, Dr. Vernon D. Crawford has devoted himself to teaching and researching in the field of physics at Tech.

Now a full professor of physics and head of the physics branch at the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station, Dr. Crawford is one of the best known and most respected members of the faculty. A native of Novia Scotia, he holds three degrees, all in the field of physics: a B.S. December, 1959

Photograph â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Diehl, Jr. from Mount Allison, M.S. from Dalhousie, and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.

Since the formation of the Georgia Tech Speakers Bureau three years ago, Dr. Crawford has proven the most popular of this hardy group of Tech pioneers who are called upon to go out into the State to speak on subjects in which they are experts.

SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cont. tion. It may be that those who hold either of these extreme views are those least acquainted with the methods and aims of science. Nevertheless these views are widely held, and to the extent to which they are held science may be said to have replaced religion in our twentieth century.

One Sunday a seven year old boy went to Sunday School for the first time. When he returned home he was asked by his mother what he had learned. "Well," he said, "we learned all about Moses and how he helped the Israelites escape from the Egyptians."

His mother asked him to tell her the story and his version went something like this: "It seems that the Israelites were running away from the Egyptians with Moses in the lead. They were getting along all right until they came to the Red Sea. Moses didn't know how to get across, but he thought he could find a way if he could get a good look at the situation, so he got in a helicopter and flew over the sea. Then he figured that he needed submarines so he got a fleet of atomic subs and loaded all the Israelites aboard so when Pharoah and his Egyptians got there everybody was gone."

His mother said "That's a very interesting story, son, but are you sure they told it to you that way at Sunday School"?

"Well, no" replied the boy, "but if I told it to you the way they told it to me you never would believe it!"

M,ANY of us have a similar difficultyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the difficulty of reconciling what we know, or think we know, about the nature of physical law with the violations of natural law which are commonplace in the Bible. For example, our scientific convictions refuse to be reconciled with the accounts of God's doings recorded in the first chapter of Genesis. You are familiar with the Scopes "monkey trail" of the twenties when a head-on collision occurred between two points of view: the liberal view that man is the result of a process of continual evolution from forms of lower order, and the fundamental view that when Genesis says that God cre-

ated man on the sixth day it means exactly that.

This controversy was certainly not settled by the Scopes trial. In the minds of many it has not been settled to this day. However, the interpretation of Genesis has ceased to be the point of controversy that it once was. Scientific evidence for an evolutionary process has continued to mount. Then too, modern techniques of dating are unequivocal in their demonstration that the creations of the first six days, according to Genesis, actually spanned billions of years.

Most people, I believe, now regard Genesis as a poetic account of creation. Is Genesis somehow devalued by this change of attitude? I do not think so. It remains the most beautiful and reverent attempt in the world's literature to represent the first acts of the Creator. I do not believe that it will stand up as a text in science, but it was not written as a text in science. Neither do I believe that science will ever successfully dispute the underlying theme of Genesis stated so beautifully in its opening verse: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

the greatest stumbling block to the acceptance of the Bible for a scientifically trained modern, or for any educated man in this scientific age, is its emphasis on the miraculous powers of Jesus. The credo of the scientist may be stated fairly simply: There is a law governing the physical universe. It is a law of constancy, not subject to whim. It is invariant in time and space, which means specifically that the same natural law is in effect today in America as was operative in firstcentury Palestine. How can one holding these beliefs accept the frequent suspensions of natural law which are reported in connection with the miracles of Christ?

In this connection it is surely important to realize that science is not complete, doesn't have all the answers. What seems to be in violation of natural law may turn out to be in agreement when that law is more fully revealed. It is also important to realize that although the same natural law was in effect in first century Palestine as is in effect here and now, in those days it was completely unrecognized as such. As Dr. Fosdick points out, the XERHAPS

Tech Alumnus

word nature is never used in the New Testament to mean cosmic order, but only the specific constitution of some particular thing, such as "an olive tree, wild by nature." If there was no concept of natural law there could be no concept of the special suspension of natural law for the accomplishment of a miracle. In other words, their concept of a miracle was very different from ours. To those people, spectacular events which would capture their attention, amaze them, awe them, punish them, or perhaps release them from their punishments, were expected and constantly looked for.

The way was clear for any unusual event to be hailed as miraculous and for its wondrousness to grow with the retelling.

1

HERE is no question in my mind that Jesus performed mighty works, nor that the first, and in many cases the lasting, impression He made on the majority of His contemporaries was that of a miracle worker. This was not a unique distinctionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;miracle workers were not uncommonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it was a distinction which Jesus did not seek. It was, indeed, a source of intense worry to Him. He was a teacher, a prophet, a Saviour, not a magician. He knew that in themselves His works were not particularly convincing, that men could marvel at them at the same time they were dismissing the message of Him who performed them, and so the record abounds with instances of Jesus cautioning the onlookers to tell no man concerning what they had seen.

I believe that to understand Jesus we must learn to see Him "above the heads of His reporters," that we must learn to understand His dismay at a generation in search of a sign. To see Him in this way is not to see Him with a diminished stature, but rather as a believable being who had remarkable insights and a power over the hearts of men which surpasses the understanding. But primarily it is to see a Saviour pointing the way to God. I am convinced that this is the light in which He wished to be seen by men.

The point I have been trying to make is that there is no fundamental conflict between science and Christianity. Seeming conflicts arise when unwarranted literalness is forced on Biblical interDecember, 1959

pretation. Rather than being in conflict, science and Christianity have very much in common.

Each is based on faith. The faith of the scientist is that a natural law exists, although at times it may be perceived but dimly if at all. The Christian's faith is in God, whose nature he may not comprehend, but whose existence he does not question.

Each has the aim to seek the truth. It was the Master who said "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," a statement of the aim of science no less than of religion. Just as there are two levels of existence, a physical level of which we are directly aware through our senses, and a spiritual level which is usually less directly experienced, much less understood, but no less real; so are there two disciplines by which we strive to reach the ultimate realities, science and religion.

Truth cannot conflict with truth. Truth can only be in harmony with and complement truth. True science can only be in harmony with and complement true religion.

Even in their methodology, science and Christianity have at least one point in common. The great discoveries of science so frequently are the result of inductive leaps, of inspirational flashes. Is this method of arriving at the truth significantly different from the method by which Paul reached the truth on the Damascan highway?

-FINALLY, the scientist pursues truth in a manner which the Christian might do well to emulate. That is to say, if he is a good scientist he pursues the truth where it leads, having set aside all preconceived notions and prejudices. Too often the Christian spurns this course in his attempts to understand God. He spurns it, perhaps, through fear of divine punishment, but surely God will not punish man for his exercise of his God-given curiosity. Perhaps the Christian fears that he might be led to some unorthodox conclusions. This fear is well founded and represents a calculated risk which all seekers after truth must take. Often, I think, there is the belief that God may in some manner be embarassed by what diligent search may reveal. I doubt that God has anything to hide from a seeker after the ultimate realities, whether the search is carried out in the name of religion or science.

At a class change, students rush up and down the old circular staircases as they have for over 70 years and create this ghostly image on film. The old circular staircases will be a thing of the past as soon as the structure undergoes conversion to an office building.

1 e Ghosts of the i iministration Building 1888 when Georgia Tech first opened its doors to some 130 students, the Administration Building has been used primarily for teaching purposes. Now, with the coming of a new building expressly designed as a classroom building (see page 12), the Tech landmark can cease living its small white lie and revert to a purpose more in keeping with its title.

During the final week in which the old building was occupied by Tech students (November 9-13) Alumnus photographer Bill Diehl, Jr. roamed its halls on a special assignment. His mission was to capture on film the flavor of the building that more than any other is Georgia Tech.

How well he accomplished this mission may be seen in the images of the ghosts of an era gone forever.

SINCE

In the tower room of the old building, a young English instructor, I. F. Foote, expresses himself to a class softened by the glare of the early morning sun on the day that the last group of students climbed to the loft.

December, 1959

Since Tech opened in 1888, Room 209 of this building has been used every school year as an English classroom. On the old room's last day, Dr. A. J. Walker arranges a class just as his predecessor Dr. William G. Perry did for almost 50 years and a ghost appears.

pictured at the left are exchanging the symbolic keys to Georgia Tech's long-awaited new Classroom Building: an experience that is the climax of many years of frustration for them and for their associates. The ceremony took place on November 17 during the acceptance exercises for the new building at which Board of Regents' Chairman Robert O. Arnold was the principal speaker.

The fire-resistant, air-conditioned, four-story building that made this event possible will house the departments and schools (English, Industrial Management, Mathematics, and Psychology) that they represent. The structure has an over-all area of 137,000 square feet and contains 110 offices, 68 classrooms and 23 general purpose rooms.

As you can see by the overall picture of the building, it connects to the Price Gilbert Library through a two-level sidewalk that extends into the new building and forms the halls which connect the classroom areas.

CHANGING CLASSES IN THE OPEN HALLWAYS, A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ALL TECH STUDENTS.

December, 1959

Photographs by Bill Diehl, Jr.

Through the side do to the Gator Bowl HE JACKETS lost two of their last three 1959 games but still managed a bowl invitation by making them all close.

The "heart attack" kids edged Notre Dame, 14-10, in South Bend then lost to Alabama, 7-9, in Birmingham and Georgia 14-21, in Atlanta.

Against the Irish, Tech came from behind twice on a cold afternoon before over 58,000 fans. After a field goal put Notre Dame ahead in the first half, the Jackets went 49 yards on the ground for the score. Quarterback Marvin Tibbettsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;standing in for the injured Fred Braseltonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; sneaked for the score on the drive which featured a 32yard burst by fullback Taz Anderson. Back came the Irish on a pro-like long pass to make it 7-10 and Tech looked Gerald Burch takes the screen pass and starts on his sensational out of it. But, Frank Nix's 48-yard kickoff return put Tech 57-yard run for Tech's first touchdown in the game against Georgia. at the Irish 45. And Tibbetts again directed a ground attack (with one pass thrown in for a six-yard gain) straight for the winning score. Tibbetts put the points on the board with a fine option run off a beautiful fake.

In Birmingham, Tech got off to an early 7-0 lead after recovering Alabama's kickoff fumble and driving 25 yards.

Burch again, this time at the end of the line after his 45-yard But, the Tide scored a touchdown in a few minutes after fourth-down run from a fake punt formation. Tech scored later.

Wells fumbled a punt at the Alabama 49. They went for two and Tech held a shaky 7-6 lead. In the second period Alabama added a field goal for the 7-9 margin as Tech fumbles continuously stopped drives.

The Georgia game had all of the earmarks of a king-size rout after the Bulldogs grabbed three first half touchdowns on alert play and great passing. Going out trailing 0-21 it looked like Tech would spend the holiday at home. But a great second-half rally pulled the Jackets within a touchdown of the SEC champs. Gerald Burch, the end who suddenly looked like a halfback, scored the first Tech points when he ,went 57 yards with a screen pass on what Coach Dodd called the "best run I saw all year." After being stopped on the Georgia 14 and the Georgia one, Tech scored in the final four minutes on a Tibbetts to Murphy pass from the Georgia 38. Murphy scattered Bulldogs all over the lot as he went in for the final touchdown. Tech never got another chance at the ball as the Bulldogs' great all-SEC quarterback, Francis Tarkenton, killed the clock by playing the fox to the Jackets' pursuing hounds.

The comeback brought Tech its second Gator Bowl bid in the past four years against Frank Broyles', '47, Arkansas team in what will be dubbed a classic of the pupil-versusthe-teacher variety. It will be played on January 2.

New "post-grad" program helps engineers move ahead at Western Electric

Careers get off to a fast start—and keep on growing—at Western Electric.

MANHATTAN'S COLISEUM TOWER building houses Western Electric's New York training center. Here, as in Chicago and WinstonSalem, N.C., Western Electric engineers participate in a training program that closely resembles a university graduate school.

One big help is our new Graduate Engineering Training Program. This unique full-time, off-the-job study program starts soon after you join Western Electric . . . continues throughout your career. Students are offered courses in various fields including semiconductors, computers, feedback control systems, and problem solving techniques.

What's more, they study methods for improving skills in communicating technical information and the art of getting ideas across.

You'll find the work at Western Electric stimulating, too.

As manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System, we pioneered in the production of the transistor, repeatered submarine cable, and the provision of microwave telephone and television facilities spanning the country. Engineering skills can't help developing—careers can't help prospering — in the lively, exciting technical climate at Western Electric.

CLASSROOM SESSION at one of the centers takes up the first part of the three-phase program, Introduction to Western Electric Engineering. During this initial nine-week training period, new engineers are provided with a better understanding of Western Electric engineering methods and technical practices.
