The Senior Knglneering Seminar
c lass held Its fourth meeting last Fri-
day afternoon. Kgerton Hobft presid-
ed as chairman.
The first talk was given by Wilbur
Wright, using as his subject, "Oper-
ating ChanjoteristieB of the Trans-
Atlantic Telephone." In this subject
was included a description of the va-
rious rates and methods of timing
used by the American and European
telephone systems. The speaker also
.ifated thai a single line cable tele-
phone was being installed with the
purpose in mind of using it to rein-
force where and when necessary the
commendable service being given by
the existing radio system.
The second Seminar talk was given
by Held Hodgson, using as his sub-
ject. "Properties. 1'sew and Manufac-
ture of Aluminum and Its Alloys." The
main part of the talk was a discussion
of the application of these alloys in
(daces where resistance to strains and
corrosion were desired.
The third talk was given by John
Holland with a very interesting dis-
cussion of "Licensing Methods for
Engineers and Architects" in various
slates. This talk was the first one
to lie delivered sine notes. The
speaker seemed to have a good com-
mand of his vocabulary in spite of
tlie fad thai he was included to be
bombastic at limes, In this talk the
speaker- described the results of
Iii eiislhg laws In the various states
ami made the statement that the
slate of Texas which a# yet. does not
liaie any licensing laws will, in all
like'lhood have an appropriate licens-
ing law enacted in the future. The
talk was delivered in an into'restiiig
manner and was well received by tlie
Seminar.

Doubt Ai To The Meshing
Of Orgamutnas
Expressed
There has been much discussion
lately about the organization of a
student chapter ot the American Insti.
tute of Electrical Engineers at Hioa.
and the question always arises as to
whether Rice has enough students to
support another engineering organ!'
lation, since it now has student chap,
ters of the A.S.C.E., and
along with the Engineering Society.
According to faculty members, the
Engineering Society was originally
organized with the Intention of mak-
ing It an association of student chap-
ters of the various national engineer-
ing societies, with different branches
taking turns at conducting meetings
ot the Society.
However, when the United States
entered the World War, it seems that
the officials of the Engineering Socle,
ty rushed off to training camps and
somewhere in the confusion the origi-
nal Engineering Society charter was
lost.
The new charter was drawn up it
did not embody the original idea of
an association, so Rice now has the
strong Engineering Society and stu
dent branches of two ot the national
engineering societies.
The case at Rice parallels that of
the Engineers' Club In Houston. When
this club was organized there were
no national engineering organizations
operating In Houston, so the club
thrived. Later, the separate societies
were organized and each drew mem
bers from the Engineers' Club until
now each separate society has a large
membership, with the club gradually
losing ground.
The question arises: can not this
happen to the Engineering Society at
Rice? Would it. not be better to have
an association of societies, meeting
every other week, than have a group
of separate weak organizations, meet-
ing on various nights, with small at-
tendance at each? Such an organiza-
tion might be made to work in con-
junction with the Engineering Socle,
ty, and save time for everybody con-
cerned. At least it will do no harm
to consider such a proposition.
VALUES
Am Editorial
(Editor's Note: The following ar-
ticle was written by C. S. Coler of the
Weatlnghouae Electric and Manufac-
turing Co., and was published in The
Electric Journal.)
There Is no better Indication of the
fuutre of engineering than the faet
that sixty-five thousand students are
eurolled in our American engineering
schools. They have the faith which
later on will not only remove moun-
tains but distance as well, and which
will multiply the physical powers of
man a thousand fold. Over the draw-
ing hoard, In the laboratory and class-
room, on the athletic field and on the
road, the outstanding engineer of the
future today is overcoming obstacles
as preparation for greater achieve-
ments.
In organization building, industry
is more and more calling upon the en-
gineering schools. The superior en-
gineering student works out tor him-
self a well developed objective. He
also has thought out a plan for ac-
complishing his goal. To him a di-
ploma. a degree, or even education is
not an end but rather a means to an
end—which end in turn becomes a
means to a still higher end as bis vis-
ion enlarges.
As un Indication of his Inherent in-
terest in engineering, he will have
grasped every opportunity to engage
in productive work, to associate with
productive engineers, and to learn by
productive experience. Visits to in-
dustrial plants, summer employment,
keen observation of individuals, insti-
tutions and mechanisms offer oppor-
tunities.
On graduation, he will already have
developed a sense of values. He will
appreciate the Important contribution
of the workman. He will conserve
fn utjf in ihe weaving room.

He will discriminate between the im-
portant and the less Important ele-
ments of a situation.
If he ha? had the good fortune to
asaoeiate with a thorough engineering
teacher, in addition to well-grounded
fundamentals, he will have acquired
a reverence for accuracy. A small er-
ror may eauae the loss of a lite. To

and inspectors may later binder pro-
motion.
The outstanding student will have
achieved a respect for ideals. He will
have established a few good friend-
ships; be will be looking forward to
an opportunity to extend his knowl-
edge and to continue the education
he began at college.
The more farslghted the student the
less will he be concerned, when he
starts to work, about rights, honors
and privileges. He realises that soon-
er or later, he must create his own
oportunlties, plus some for those who
are less privileged.
