It has been decided to combine the planned alumni parties in honor of Dr. Brittain and Colonel Van Leer into a large reception and dinner at the Piedmont Driving Club, in Atlanta; to begin at seven o'clock, on the night of Friday, July 7. Dr. Brittain will become President Emeritus, and Colonel Van Leer, President, respectively, of Georgia Tech on July 1, and the dinner will be a grand culmination of a week of induction ceremonies and other activities. The dinner committee is composed of Baxter Maddox, '22, Chairman; Lawrence Willet, '18, and Judge F r a n k A. Hooper, Jr., '16. Governor Arnall, Mayor Hartsfield, Ga. Tech Alumni, the Board of Regents, presidents of the branches of the University System and other members of their groups; educators in general, additional city, state and county officials, Georgia Tech faculty members, representatives from the student body and other friends will be among those invited for the occasion. As the committee must limit the attendance, due to the present conditions with which all are familiar, it is suggested that reservations be made, now, through the Georgia Tech Alumni Office, Georgia Tech, Vernon 8540, for the dinner or with members of the reception committee. The plate cost has not been fixed as yet; however, it will be reasonable. More detailed information will be sent through the mails and otherwise announced, of course, from time to time and until the date of the dinner; but be certain, though, to reserve the night of Friday, July 7, for the big party which all of you will surely want to attend.
Broad Research Facilities, Enlarged Graduate School Planned In an inspiring outline of the plans that he has in mind for the future development of Georgia Tech, Colonel Blake R. Van Leer assured t h e Board of Regents, at their April fourth meeting in Atlanta, that in addition to promoting undergraduate welfare and growth he would enlist the full co-operation of everyone for extensive research facilities and a greatly enlarged graduate school at the college. Colonel Van Leer becomes president of Georgia Tech on J u l y 1, and it is quite evident that he expects to further these very vital objectives, as stated, promptly after his induction into office. The press of the state and the nation heartily endorses Georgia Tech's progressive expansion plans, and it is a pleasure to quote in part from one of the. newspapers, the Atlanta Constitution, on the matter of research and graduate work as so well expressed in its editorial columns of April 5 on the subject, "Good News for Tech—and Georgia," as follows: "Southern universities woefully are short on good graduate schools. The entire University System will be strengthened by an expanded graduate school at Tech. It is the research school, or department, which will meet probably the greatest economic need of the state in so far as development of the future is concerned. We have had painfully little research into the South's r a w materials and its possibilities. Such a (Continued on next page)

Research and Graduate School—Cont'd. department, adequately financed, will mean a tremendous advance for all the state. We earnestly request every large business in the state to communicate with the new president and the Board of Regents to see if it is possible financially to support the research department. If specific problems are presented for research, out of a company's own business, with Georgia raw materials such as clay, plastics, wood pulps, cotton or any other product, the sum appropriated is deductible for tax purposes. It should be possible for the Board of Regents to work out a plan whereby Georgia's economic problems, growing out of what we produce and manufacture, may be financed through the research department. In addition, the legislature should appropriate specifically and generously for such a department. Research is as great a need as the state has, and not to co-operate with the new plan will be the worst sort of pinch-penny folly. We are happy to welcome Georgia Tech's new president and his plans which are so practical and of such enormous value to the state and to every person in it."

Colonel Van Leer, Regents, Faculty, Alumni, Plan Expansion Plans for t h e expansion of undergraduate work and extensive development of research and graduate facilities were outlined at length to t h e Board of Regents of t h e University System on May fourth by Colonel Blake R. Van Leer, president-elect of Georgia Tech, who was in Atlanta from May fourth to May seventh. Chairman Marion Smith, it was stated, assured Colonel Van Leer that he would have the full cooperation of t h e Regents, following declarations of the president-elect that it would take time and a great amount of work and finances to attain t h e results in mind for Georgia Tech and Southern industry. The Board adopted a resolution approving graduate and research schools for Georgia Tech and other branches of t h e University System. Pointing out that t h e South was definitely on t h e road up in scientific work and that Tech would necessarily require more than t h e past expenditures of from $247 to $287 for each student, in order to do t h e big job ahead, as like schools spend about $1,000 per student; and adding that these other foremost scientific institutions have found that it pays to spend whatever is needed in technical instruction, Colonel Van Leer left no doubt in t h e minds of the Regents that he proposed to help place Georgia Tech at t h e very top of t h e list among the technical colleges of the nation. Also during t h e meeting and among other important financial business that was transacted, t h e Regents approved t h e sale of a business structure on Ivy Street, in Atlanta, for $60,000, the proceeds in full to be used entirely by Georgia Tech, it was announced. The building was willed to the college by the late Dr. Thomas P. Hinman. A series of meetings and gatherings kept Colonel Van Leer busily engaged; and an enjoyable luncheon at t h e Capital City Club on May 4, presided over by President Cherry L. Emerson of t h e Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, was one of t h e highlights of the visit. Those attending t h e luncheon were officers and trustees of t h e organizations that are raising funds for t h e college and industrial research; composing t h e group were representatives from t h e Textile Education Foundation, executive board members of t h e Alumni Association, and trustees of t h e Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation. Textile representatives, at t h e luncheon, were N. Bernard Murphy, vice-chairman Textile Foundation board, president of t h e Trion Company, Trion, Ga., and Charles Hertwig, vice-president of t h e Bibb Manufacturing Company, Macon, Ga.,. and Eugene

O'Brien, prominent publisher of textile magazines. The latter gentleman ably introduced Colonel Van Leer, a close friend of long standing. The group held several committee meetings and then adjourned to the Georgia Tech campus, where large lay-out models of buildings and grounds, present and proposed, together with sketches and plans, prepared by the architectural department of t h e college, were shown by Professor Bush-Brown, head of the department, and by Dr. M. L. Brittain and Mr. C. L. Emerson. The tour of the campus concluded with a highly interesting visit to the athletic department, its coaches, buildings, stands and grounds—as Colonel Van Leer is a firm believer in all branches of athletics; and his visit to t h e department added considerably to t h e important events of a memorable day.
Alumni Prominent In "E" Award Mills The company comprising t h e seven Avondale Mills, in Alabama, received t h e coveted star award in April; t h e star is to be placed on the present " E " Flag of t h e mills. The Birmingham mill and t h e plant in Sylacauga have each received t h e National Security Award, also; and it is believed that the Birmingham plant is the first cotton mill to receive such an award. All of t h e Avondale mills have been awarded a star to go on their T Minute Man Flag for oversubscribing, in t h e Fourth War Bond Drive. Georgia Tech alumni prominently connected with the Avondale Mills a r e :
F r a n k Asbury, B.S. in T.E., 1921, Assistant General Superintendent. Charlie Northen, B.S. in T.E., 1924, Vice-President. Lee Bowles, 1922 Textile, Superintendent of t h e Stevenson plant. William E. Williams, 1926 T.E., Superintendent of the Birmingham mills. Alex Bell, 1932 T.E., Superintendent of t h e Sycamore plant. The foregoing alumni and their associates are justly proud of their achievements—as well they should be—and Georgia Tech glories in their excellent and patriotic attainments.

Direct Word From Cene Turner
General Alumni Mention
Gene Turner's many friends will be interested in reading his report letter of February 4, 1944, recently received, as follows: Dear Friends: How can one tell his friends what is on his daily schedule? Sometimes the day begins with a trip to the rose garden, and a visit to the hospital where Nurse No. 1 receives the floral offering with smiling appreciation. It may start with a visit to most any section of the camp where we have work, in hospitals, barracks and "day-room," but some time during the morning it is likely to terminate at the double buildings which house our activities and office. It is often said here that the Chinese "Y" is the most attractive social center on the Post. The Chinese have a genius for transforming stark barrenness into colorful attractiveness. More important than being attractive looking, there are activities which are used hard from nine in the morning to ten in the evening. There are all sorts of table games, both American and Chinese, newspapers and magazines, ping-pong, a gymnasium and outdoor courts for basketball, volley ball and tennis, as well as social halls and outdoor court for use w h e n there are overflow meetings. Then, throughout the camp it has been our task to organize and train in group games. In the rainy season, when there is sufficient water, we have some five hundred m e n each afternoon, teaching them to swim. And now, believe it or not, we have a boxing ring at our center. A small, but perhaps the most appreciated service we are offering now, is our library. After months of effort to secure Chinese books, a man was finally dispatched by transport plane with four sets of 200 books. We keep one of these sets here on loan and on each book loaned there is a ten to twenty rupee deposit, and we keep a second set for use in the building. Men sign for books and remain in the readingroom for their reading. The other two sets we have sent to our second center for similar use. Our latest venture is an effort to teach handicrafts to patients in the convalescent hospital窶馬ew ground for us, but we seem to know as much about it as anyone else here, so we are trying to bring the need and the men together in one more realm.

He took a leave of absence from his own company, the Carolina Engineering Co., in Durham, N. C , in February, 1944, to go with the Red Cross supply and warehouse division.
The news of the coming of " J i m " Hall was a shot in the arm which galvanized my whole system, and our structure in China, too. It was good news, indeed. I shall meet him and arrange for him to come down here for a visit before he goes on to the main job in China. This job will probably hold me here for some time yet, but I rejoice in the strategy which is sending Jim on ahead that he may the more quickly get into the game there.
It would be a great pleasure to know that each of the friends who are sharing in this could be reminded personally that no days pass which do not bring them into review, both in m y thoughts and appreciation. One simply can not say his thoughts in the face of such action, confidence and friendship. So, some of you please say it for me, humbly, gratefully and with expression of affection to each of the friends who share and have shared so richly with me in the job which is not mine, but theirs and mine together. Yours sincerely, (Signed) GENE TURNER.

Tech Wrestlers Awarded Letters Six Georgia Tech wrestling champions were awarded letters for their stellar work by Head Coach W. A. Alexander at the April Navy Smoker in the Georgia Tech Naval Armory. The mat bouts, only part of a fine program in the Tech auditorium, were preceded by an exhibition of wrestling holds, offensive and defensive, by Lieut. L. A. Moll, of the Tech Naval personnel, and Bob Miller, Jacket coach. Several hundred naval trainees were present at the smoker and in addition, three score or more officers and guests were seated along the gym floor, close to the ring. Two interesting features of the program were a pep talk by Captain J. V. Babcock, commandant, and the more than noteworthy singing on the part of Chief Bosch Pritchard, master of ceremonies. Wrestling results, the winner becoming school champion in his class and receiving a letter, were: T. A. Hart beat E. C. Drumright (135-pound class), R. E. Younger defeated R. L. McCelvey (145-pound class), R. D. McBurnett downed N. C. New (155pound class), H. S. Wilson beat White (165-pound class), C. R. Dixon triumphed over H. C.

First Lieut. Charles P. Lassiter, Jr., 20, Class of 1945, Marine fighter pilot, has been missing in action since February 12, w h e n he failed to r e t u r n from a mission against the enemy over Rabaul, New Britain, the Navy Department has informed his mother, Mrs. Charles P. Lassiter, Sr., 836 Westmont Road, S.W., Atlanta. A graduate of Tech High School, Lieut. Lassiter attended Georgia Tech, and was enrolled in t h e Naval Preflight School at Athens in August, 1942. Staff Sergeant Fair C. Lawrence, husband of Mrs. Winnie Shirley Lawrence, 229 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., has been missing in action since his plane went down over Germany on March 6, the War Department has notified his wife. Before entering the service in J a n u a r y , 1943, h e was employed by General Motors here. He is a native Atlantan and a graduate of Georgia Tech, in commerce, 1933. Second Lieut. Warren Wright Lee, 24, grandson of Mrs. E. C. Wright, Decatur, has been reported missing in action after his plane was shot down between Hanover and Brunswick during a raid over Germany on March 9, the War Department has notified his family. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Lee, Savannah, the young officer, a navigator on a bomber, was seen to parachute out of the plane after it had burst into flames. His brother, First Lieut. Cater L. Lee, was on the same raid and wrote his parents that he saw Warren parachute out and was confident he had been taken prisoner.

At a recent meeting of the Savannah Georgia Tech Club, the following alumni w e r e named to head t h e club for the coming year: Hugh Hill, 1923, president; James E. Averett, 1925, vice-president; W. L. Mingledorff, 1936, treasurer; and Anthony Hardy, 1921, secretary. On March 30, the New York Georgia Tech Club held a large and interesting meeting. J o h n L. Davidson, M.E. and M.S., 1915, vice-president of the club, reported on the activities of the organization. Joe E. Dillard, 1939, secretary of the Charleston, S. C , Georgia Tech Club, writes that their last meeting was held on F e b r u a r y 25 at Lance Hall. It was practically a business session alone; however, soft drinks and sandwiches, graciously prepared by Mrs. McDuffie, wife of the vice-president of the club, and pictures of Tech's Orange Bowl game, enlivened the meeting considerably.
Missing and Prisoners of War—Cont'd. glances out of the corner of my eye of our bombers dropping out of formation. "I'm not sure, but I think Lieut. Nunes' ship went down soon after we crossed the coast and met the first fighter attack. That was before we reached the target. I saw him only a few seconds, and he then was going down under control." In a story on July 4, The Atlanta Journal reported Lieut. Nunes as missing, and quoted a letter from him to his mother, which did not mention his combat flying at all. There are five Nunes children in the armed services, and a sixth, a son, is now trying to get into the Air Corps. The father, the late Tillou Von Nunes, prominent Atlanta attorney, was of German descent. During the last war several of his children elected to drop the German prefix Von from their family name. Mrs. Nunes has received no word from her pilot son, but she is still confident that he is safe, perhaps a prisoner in German hands. First Lieut. John E. O'Neal, Jr., Class 1944, vicepresident Class '41-'42, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Georgia Tech's Naval R.O.T.C. Rifle Team has again won the national championship in the annual William Randolph Hearst rifle competition. This makes the third time over a period of relatively recent years that the Georgia Tech riflemen have won the national honors; and they have always stood well to the fore in all of their meets. Rear Admiral L. E. Denfield, acting chief of naval personnel, sent the following prized message to the victorious team: " 1 . The Chief of the Bureau congratulates the teams of the Georgia School of Technology, Northwestern University, and the University of Washington, for winning first, second, and third places, respectively, in this competition. "2. The Chief of the Bureau also congratulates Mr. Samuel W . Mangham of the Naval R. O. T. C , Georgia School of Technology, for obtaining the highest individual score."

Tennis Team Wins Southeastern Conference Title By winning all of its scheduled conference games and, in fact, all meets entered to date, through stellar playing and decisive scores, Georgia Tech's masterful tennis team has easily won the 1944 Southeastern Conference tennis title. Coached by Professor Earle Bortell, the team is composed of a brilliant array of tennis players with F r a n k Willett, number 1, Atlanta champion and conference star; Howard McCall, n u m b e r 2, exceptionally masterful, young Atlanta player; Carl Maddox, number 3, an outstanding Southern star; Dick Collier, number 4, a California luminary; J o h n n y Millsap, number 5, Florida ace; Ken Purtz, Richard Carlson, and Bob Cowen, each of whom is plenty good. The squad met the best teams in the conference, but despite this tough opposition the Tech players won their meets handily, as shown in the following schedule: April 15, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, won by Georgia Tech, 9-0. April 20, Auburn in Atlanta, rained out. April 22, Duke in Atlanta; again, Tech 9-0. April 29, Tulane at New Orleans, Tech 6-1. May 4, Auburn at Auburn, Tech 7-0.

Georgia Tech Track Team Wins S.E.C Championship Continuing on an undefeated march through its conference schedule, the Georgia Tech track team of 1944, coached by Norris Dean, won the Southeastern Conference track championship at Birmingham, Ala., May 20, with a total of 90 points, and the widest margin in the history of the meet. Louisiana State was second with 65; only once before in the S. E. C. meets has L. S. U. been dethroned, and that was several years ago by Georgia. No records were made but all events were plenty good. The team also added to its laurels by winning the S. E.

There will undoubtedly be more tickets sold for the coming season than there were last f a l l ; so all alumni who intend to order season or individual game tickets should by all means mail in their requests directly to the Georgia Tech Athletic Department, just as soon as they are notified through the newspapers or the mails by the Athletic Department as to the opening date for reservations, which is usually about August first. Reservations certainly should be made before tickets go on sale in general. T h e games scheduled a r e as follows: Sept. 30—Clemson at Grant Field. Oct. 7—Auburn at Grant Field. Oct. 1 4 — N o r t h Carolina at Grant Field. Oct. 2 1 — N a v y at Grant Field. Oct. 27—Georgia Preflight at Grant Field (night). Nov. 4 — D u k e at Durham. Nov. 11—Tulane at Grant Field.
