WELCOME TO TECH "AT HOME DAY" On Sa turday, the fourteen th of April, Worcester Polytechnic Institute welcomes its friends to its campus and buildings. It has made a special effort to show you what it teaches, by giving you a picture of student life in many of its multiple activities, which embrace all types of modern engineering and of applied science. We greet you h eartily, and hope that you will find much of interest in these demonstrations on Boynton Hill. Interested as we a re in our job here, we want you to share that interest also through knowing and understanding, in an enjoyable way, what the younger engineer does. On the fourteenth, you will see structures, processes, and machines, complicated and intri~>uing; yet our profession is much more than that, for it is using the method of attaining results through real thinking by systematic reasoning. We cannot

show you this personality training, which is as important a part of our education as is the acquiring of the knowledge of materials and how to use them, but some appreciation of the problems the engineer conquers will come from seeing the various examples of engineering achievements arranged here today. To the students guided by their teachers is largely due the c.redit for the various exhibitions you will find here. These demonstrations and exhibitions h ave been prepared with originality and enthusiasm, in the hope that they will interest all friends of our college, as well as young men about to start out on an educational career.
