LAST M O N T H , President Eisenhower released th report of the President's Committee on P H ^ ' 1 Beyond the High School. In it, this committee standing business and industrial leaders and ed have done an excellent job of identifying tip urgent problems which will face the Nation's tions of higher learning in the next 10 or 15 Vea addition, the committee has set down certain mendations for the solutions of these problems w already face every college and university administrati It should come as no surprise to any Georgia 1 alumnus that the most urgent of all of these proble concerns the mounting shortage of excellent teacher.

For during the past few years the Tech Roll Call ar peals have been built on the great need to help seci and maintain a top-notch faculty for our school.

As the report points out, "Unless enough of th Nation's ablest manpower is reinvested in the educa tional enterprise, its human resources will remai under-developed and specialized manpower shortaer in every field will compound. Unwittingly the Unite States right now is pursuing precisely the opposi course. Demands for high quality manpower h everywhere been mounting, but colleges and uni\er sities have found themselves at a growing competith disadvantage in the professional manpower market. 0.

Nation, like the prodigal farmer, is consuming the ses corn needed for future harvests. The ultimate resul could be disaster."

Governor Griffin Pledges $2,500,000 for Tech Reactor GOVERNOR

GRIFFIN

pledged

( j $2,500,000 on August 20 to con,,nict Georgia T e c h s proposed high-flux :h reactor.

The pledge was made at a luncheon meeting of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission immediately after Dr. Walter H. Zinn, internationally known nuclear physicist, outlined the conceptual for the Georgia Tech reactor. T h e E n was carried out by the General \uclear Engineering Corporation of which Dr. Zinn is president.

In making the pledge. G o v e r n o r Griffin said, "I am convinced that the multipurpose research reactor explained here

by Dr. Zinn will be a real asset to the and region as well as to Georgia Tech. 1 am also convinced that at Georgia Tech we have the talent to m a k e the best possible use of this reactor. After a great deal of study on this project, I have Jed. with the help of many o'f the Nation's outstanding experts in this field, ; W must take immediate action o n • project or we will certainly be sorry ln the future.

H the Board of Regents of the U n i " 3 Swem will put in a budget rest for $2,500,000 for the Georgia -1 reactor project. I will be happy to sign it" ' g r e ^ e | G | ° V e m 0 r ' S Pledge gave the final t0 a Dm three-phrase expansion jj*m m the nuclear field at Tech.

pus. T h e building, now valued at $500,0 0 0 as a result of additional grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Board of Regents, will go u n d e r construction this fall. It will provide laboratory space and facilities for courses taught in connection with the nuclear graduate program as well as for research.

Beginning with the formation of a Nuclear Science Committee in January, 1955, Georgia Tech's program has moved steadily forward through t h e addition of new courses to t h e curriculum and of nuclear scientists to the faculty and staff.

Tech has received a grant from the Atomic Energy Commission for equipment and special supplies to be used in nuclear science and technology courses.

Georgia Tech also has taken advantage of the A E C ' s educational support program to acquire 5500 pounds of uranium and a neutron source for use in a subcritical assembly constructed at the school and now in operation.

The new reactor will be a heavy-watermoderated, heterogeneous, enriched-fuel type, similar to the C P - 5 n o w in operation at A r g o n n e National Laboratory and the one being constructed at M I T in Cambridge, Mass. T h e reactor will be used in a broad and intensive program of research in physical and engineering sciences. It also will contribute to research in biological, agricultural and medical sciences in the region, as well as m a k e m o r e comprehensive and effective the Georgia Tech graduate program in nuclear science a n d engineering.

In his discussion of the Georgia Tech reactor, D r . Zinn said, "With the reactor, Georgia Tech scientists and engineers will be as well equipped as those in any

university in the entire world. This facility will permit work in every important phase of nuclear development. T h e Tech people will not be able to d o every type of nuclear research anyone has ever indulged in, but they will be able to play a full part in m a n y important areas. T h e T e c h reactor is a general purpose m a c h i n e — o n e not designed t o favor any specific type of nuclear research. It will have built into it facilities for materials testing, but it will also have facilities for m a n y other kinds of research—facilities that c a n be used by physicists, chemists, biologists a n d various disciplines of engineering. It will also contain facilities for experimentation and treatment of cancer with neutron therapy.

"This reactor will be planned, constructed a n d operated u n d e r strict Federal supervision and licensing through the Atomic Energy Commission," D r . Zinn continued. "It is, in my opinion, the very best research reactor that can be built for the multi-purpose needs of Georgia Tech, t h e State and the area for the amount of m o n e y that will be available to construct it."

Present estimates on the capital investment cost of the reactor run from three to four million dollars. Georgia Tech expects to secure the balance of funds needed from Federal agencies.

Other speakers at the meeting of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission, which is headed by F r a n k H . Neely, '04 were D r . James E. Boyd, director of the Georgia T e c h Engineering Experiment Station and head of the c a m p u s Nuclear Science Committee, and Dr. William B. Harrison, III, t h e director of the research reactor project at Tech.

Present estimates on the capital investment cost of the reactor run from three to four million dollars. Georgia Tech expects to secure the balance of funds needed from Federal agencies.

Other speakers at the meeting of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission, which is headed by Frank H. Neely, '04 were Dr. James E. Boyd, director of the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station and head of the campus Nuclear Science Committee, and Dr. William B. Harrison, III, the director of the research reactor project at Tech.

"He's a great center especially on defense," continued the man who had coached Paul Duke, George Morris and Larry Morris to All-Everything ratings.

In his senior year at Bessemer, Don was captain of the team, yet he never played a single minute during the season.

Ed Danforth, recently retired Atlanta Sports editor and Jacket follower since 1 9 2 0 , takes a special look at the 1 9 5 7 team and the rest of the SEC, an ALUMNUS exclusive

ECH MEN will find out how the other half lives this fall.

For the first time within memory, the Engineers will take the field with a band of innocent Sophomores who never have played in a college football game. The core of seasoned players is the smallest in modern times. The team will be spirited, but it will be inclined to go galloping off in all directions in the excitement of playing marbles for keeps.

That forecast is intended as an amber light to ease the shock when other teams begin throwing long passes for touchdowns. Sophomores just don't win in this league, coaches have found. They usually can move the ball, but they always have a tough time keeping the other team under control.

That is the outlook as the 1957 En-

gineers take off against Kentucky in the afternoon half of a double header at Grant Field, September 21. Georgia and Texas will furnish the night show in the double feature that will pack The Flats twice in one day.

After battling Kentucky in what looks like an even game at this distance, the Engineers play Southern Methodist here, then take an off day to regroup.

From then on the program is LSU, Auburn, Tulane, Duke, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. It is the same program that Bobby Dodd's "best team I ever coached" played last year and lost one game (Tennessee). Nineteen seniors of that matchless squad have gone the way of all Engineers into industrial jobs at a handsome salary. It just does not figure that their successors can do that well (9-1-0) or even come close.

Bobby Dodd has been calm in his public appraisals of his squad since he looked them over in spring practice.

Both squads moved the ball well and completed passes with shocking regularity. Eighteen out of 35 pitches were completed for 251 yards with only two interceptions. That means the quarterbacks can throw. It also means the defensive halfbacks have a lot to learn about their trade. Lew Woodruff, defensive backfield coach, figures he has a lot of hard drilling ahead of him. He is not used to seeing long passes hurt Tech and he does not want to start suffering at this stage of his career.

The press and national magazines have rated Tech close to the top of the Southeastern Conference and among the nation's best. That is a compliment to Bobby Dodd and his staff and to the fine record of Tech in recent years. It will take a nifty miracle and a generous helping of what they call "Dodd luck" to escape

< The key to the 1957 Tech season may rest with Stan Flowers, (33), the only experienced back and Fred Brasleton, (11).

A 6-4-0 season looks about right ar 7-3-0 an optimistic score. That 7-3J was the figure in 1954 when the Wade Mitchell-George Volkert crew were Sophomores.

Where Tech will figure in the SEC tf race poses an interesting problem.

Mississippi with their usual stormv, well-coached team has a good chance to win, while Auburn. Tennessee, Tech, Kentucky and Florida are bumping each other off. Coaches rate the top six teams on potential as Tennessee, Auburn, Tech.

Ole Miss, Kentucky and Florida.

Here is how they are matched in schedule: TENNESSEE plays Auburn, Tech, Ok Miss, Kentucky.

AUBURN plays Tennessee, Kentucky Tech, Florida.

TECH plays Kentucky, Auburn nessee, Florida.

KENTUCKY plays Tech. Ole Florida, Auburn, Tennessee.

FLORIDA plays Kentucky, Auburn Tech.

Kentucky has it rough in starting I with four bruisers in a row.

Florida could do well for the btf sanies are well spaced. Tennesss burn, and Tech will take care of 0 other and see to it none escapes.

Of the top six, Tech grades lowes experience. The others have more pro' players available.

Taking a guess at Sophomores who ,howed promise in spring practice, it might be well to watch: JECH—Jack Rudolph, end; Rousey lliason, tackle: John Reed, guard; Fred Braselton, quarterback; Cal James and Floyd Faucette, halfbacks; Jim Benson, fullback.

TENNESSEE—Mike LaSorza, end; Paul Caver, halfback.

KENTUCKY—Glenn Shaw, halfback.

nit FOUR MEN looking out of the picture below are the newest additions to the Tech coaching staff. They are, left to right, Carl Wise, Bob Cummings, Dick Inman and Charlie Tate.

He has coached at Penn, Washington and Lee, several high schools and in the Canadian Professional League.

television for the first time since the NCAA took control. Tech has made national TV ten times counting bowl games and cannot gracefully complain.

No SEC games were scheduled because sponsors professed to find a low rating index on SEC games in the past.

Of course the samples were taken by the rating systems in the more populous north and mid-west, so it is no surprise that Southeastern games did not score well with the systems. It may take a good deal of pressure and salesmanship to get SEC games back on the air. The sponsors have the say-so. The NCAA has no quarrel with the SEC, but they must sell their product.

Meanwhile, ticket sales are healthy around the circuit and nobody is talking hard times.

Tech has had the strongest season ticket sale in history. The Engineers will be eager and interesting. They will block and tackle hard. They make the leather pop even in practice. It is a team worth watching and will win more than it loses.

T

ECH MEN will find out how the other half lives this fall.

For the first time within memory, the Engineers will take the field with a band of innocent Sophomores who never have played in a college football game. The core of seasoned players is the smallest in modern times. The team will be spirited, but it will be inclined to go galloping off in all directions in the excitement of playing marbles for keeps.

That forecast is intended as an amber light to ease the shock when other teams begin throwing long passes for touchdowns. Sophomores just don't win in this league, coaches have found. They usually can move the ball, but they always have a tough time keeping the other team under control.

That is the outlook as the 1957 En-

gineers take off against Kentucky in the afternoon half of a double header at Grant Field, September 21. Georgia and Texas will furnish the night show in the double feature that will pack The Flats twice in one day.

After battling Kentucky in what looks like an even game at this distance, the Engineers play Southern Methodist here, then take an off day to regroup.

From then on the program is LSU, Auburn, Tulane, Duke, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. It is the same program that Bobby Dodd's "best team I ever coached" played last year and lost one game (Tennessee). Nineteen seniors of that matchless squad have gone the way of all Engineers into industrial jobs at a handsome salary. It just does not figure that their successors can do that well (9-1-0) or even come close.

Bobby Dodd has been calm in his public appraisals of his squad since he looked them over in spring practice.

Both squads moved the ball well and completed passes with shocking regularity. Eighteen out of 35 pitches were completed for 251 yards with only two interceptions. That means the quarterbacks can throw. It also means the defensive halfbacks have a lot to learn about their trade. Lew Woodruff, defensive backfield coach, figures he has a lot of hard drilling ahead of him. He is not used to seeing long passes hurt Tech and he does not want to start suffering at this stage of his career.

The press and national magazines have rated Tech close to the top of the Southeastern Conference and among the nation's best. That is a compliment to Bobby Dodd and his staff and to the fine record of Tech in recent years. It will take a nifty miracle and a generous helping of what they call "Dodd luck" to escape

what happened to Notre Dame last yea, under similar circumstances.

A 6-4-0 season looks about right at 7-3-0 an optimistic score. That 7-3J was the figure in 1954 when the Wads Mitchell-George Volkert crew were Sophomores.

Where Tech will figure in the SEC M race poses an interesting problem.

Mississippi with their usual stormy well-coached team has a good cha win, while Auburn. Tennessee, Tech, Kentucky and Florida are bumping each other off. Coaches rate the top six teams on potential as Tennessee, Auburn, Tech.

Ole Miss, Kentucky and Florida.

Here is how they are matched in schedule: TENNESSEE plays Auburn, Tech, Ok Miss, Kentucky.

AUBURN plays Tennessee, Kentucm Tech, Florida.

TECH plays Kentucky, Auburn nessee, Florida.

KENTUCKY plays Tech, Ole , Florida, Auburn, Tennessee.

FLORIDA plays Kentucky, Aub Tech.

Figure the chances of any one of top six going through undefeated and Rebels look like the best bet. They two big ones, Kentucky in September a Tennessee in November. They look bi ter than the rest of their opponents.

Kentucky has it rough in starting I with four bruisers in a row.

Florida could do well for the hrt games are well spaced. Tennessee, A burn, and Tech will take care of « other and see to it none escapes.

THE FOUR MEN looking out of the picture below are the newest additions to the Tech coaching staff. They are, left to right, Carl Wise, Bob Cummings. Dick Inman and Charlie Tate.

He has coached at Penn, Washington and Lee, leveral high schools and in the Canadian Professional League.

television for the first time since the NCAA took control. Tech has made national TV ten times counting bowl games and cannot gracefully complain.

No SEC games were scheduled because sponsors professed to find a low rating index on SEC games in the past.

Of course the samples were taken by the rating systems in the more populous north and mid-west, so it is no surprise that Southeastern games did not score well with the systems. It may take a good deal of pressure and salesmanship to get SEC games back on the air. The sponsors have the say-so. The NCAA has no quarrel with the SEC, but they must sell their product.

Meanwhile, ticket sales are healthy around the circuit and nobody is talking hard times.

Tech has had the strongest season ticket sale in history. The Engineers will be eager and interesting. They will block and tackle hard. They make the leather pop even in practice. It is a team worth watching and will win more than it loses.

ELCOME

to the engineering and

scientific professions! Today you are joining a respected group of citizens who are proud of their professions.

Scientists and engineers have made tremendous contributions to our era and will make even greater ones. Members of our profession strive to progress by adding to civilization—by learning the laws of nature and employing them in the creation of plus values.

The members of our profession have been busy, particularly during the last twenty years and the demand for technical accomplishment is becoming increasingly great. Therefore we welcome you—your youth, your energy, your courage, your imagination and your impatience with old barriers.

At this season of the year, many commencement addresses are being made throughout our land. Most of them are interesting. Most are worthwhile and are worthy of being remembered, but almost all of them are forgotten promptly. Today I hope to be able to present to you at least one thought—no, just one word —which you will remember through the years. Not that it is important that you remember this talk, but that I may provide you with a key which will open closed doors that otherwise would bar your progress. That one word is IMAGINATION—the keenest tool in an engineer's kit. This is the tool without which no great engineering or scientific accomplishment is ever consummated.

Imagination—the only picture you can draw of the future. Imagination—the first and greatest element in all creative effort.

As to remembering this key word, Imagination. I threaten you that through repetition, if by no other means, I will cause you to remember it for at least a few years of this professional career you are entering today.

I hasten to add that there are other characteristics which are necessary in a truly successful engineering life. Some of these are integrity, knowledge, dedication, persistence, courage, soundness of judgment and a love for plain hard work.

However, you know these things and I will not dwell upon the essential precepts, some of which you began to learn

During a recent conference of our Aircraft Industries Association it was impressive to hear one of America's leading bankers make an appraisal of future economic trends. Along with his review of such well known indices as Gross National Product, National Personal Income, Ingot Production, etc., he stressed the importance of our nation's annual industrial research budget. He was much encouraged concerning future business prospects because research expenditures in 1956 were 28% greater than in 1955 and the 1957 research budget is 2 0 % larger than in 1956. He is banking on the country's investment in imagination.

I stated earlier that there would be another reference to Dr. Coon, but first let me quote what David has written in the Book of Psalms. He writes, in part, "What is man that Thou art mindful of him? . . . Thou hast made him little less than God . . . Thou hast given him dominion over the works of Thy hands."

Dr. Coon stated his philosophy in this way. "I would be despondent indeed if I thought that man would not eventually unlock all the secrets of the universe."

I will risk the guess that a scientist in the physical field, rather than one in the biological area, some day will understand and make use of this fact of nature. Is your imagination adequate to undertake this useful task?

As you look toward the future, possibly your imagination should exert itself under water. Seriously, the oceans of our sphere contain vast quantities of practically all materials needed by man. The potential availability of atomic energy promises enough cheap electric power to contemplate the electrolytic reduction of sea water for the recovery of great varieties and vast quantities of many salts and minerals. Thus, when our mine shafts are exhausted, a combination of imagination and sea water can supply our needs.

Your imagination may be stimulated by the dilemma that one of the future's scarce commodities will be fresh water.

The purified sea water could furnish the billions of tons of this material needed by home and industry, and atomic power could then pump the water to millions of arid acres where moisture is all that is needed to produce great quantities of foodstuffs and industrial supplies.

Departing from physical matters, there are other areas in which imagination is all important to the engineer or scientist.

Let me warn you that members of these professions are considered generally to be introverts and, there is much evidence to justify this belief. Possibly lack of imagination trends to center interest on one's self, but broad imagination is essential in working with your fellow man.

If you are to work in industry, I urge you to be sufficiently imaginative to try to understand the whole problem of your company, rather than interesting yourself solely in your own field. Let's make it broader than that, you will serve your company and yourself better if your imagination also encompasses your customers' needs and desires. In the last analysis, you are on your customers' payroll and your concern with their requirements must be even greater than your enthusiasm for your own technology.

I hasten to add that there are other characteristics which are necessary in a truly successful engineering life. Some of these are integrity, knowledge, dedication, persistence, courage, soundness of judgment and a love for plain hard work.

However, you know these things and 1 will not dwell upon the essential precepts, some of which you began to learn

in early childhood. I hope that sophomoric sophistication has not dulled your beliefs in simple fundamental virtues. If this has occurred, you will relearn their compelling meaning in later years.

Now—to return to the consideration of the key, imagination, certain elements in the equipment of a useful person are not as necessary today as they were in earlier years. For example, in former decades, a man's capacity to produce sheer power was important, but not so today, because an electric motor can furnish power to better advantage than can man.

Similarly, a modern encyclopedia represents a more comprehensive accumulation of knowledge than is possible within one human mind. And today's calculating machines are far more competent in certain mathematical areas than is a person. However, one of the essential elements for which no book or mechanism can substitute is man's imagination.

Let us examine a few of the contributions of imaginative technology.

I have often thought back to one of my days as a student at Georgia Tech in the class of the late Dr. J. S. Coon, the able and brilliant head of Tech's Mechanical Engineering Department at that time. His lecture that day dealt with a current engineering project. Uncle Si, as we all knew him, but never dared to call him, had been annoyed by a noisy steam radiator in his office and he reasoned that this "water hammer" was due to improper drainage of the radiator.

As he walked to school that morning he passed a house where the roof was being repaired and he picked up a wooden shingle. Upon arriving at his office he raised the inlet end of the noisy radiator and forced the shingle, as a wedge, under that end. He stood back to observe the results and found that the "water hammer" was substantially noiser than it had been before. Without wasting time worrying about the theory of the matter.

Uncle Si removed the shingle, raised the outlet end of the radiator by the use of his wedge and noted with satisfaction that the noise ceased. After illustrating this simple but imaginative approach, Dr. Coon concluded by saying, "Now boys, this teaches you how engineering is really done."

This gifted and resourceful tes imagination encompassed far h e areas than shingles and radiator? shall mention in a few moments Another illustration—the autom is recognized as the great Amer phenomenon.

It has required tremendous imagina. tion on the part of the automobile indus try to create six million unsatisfied ej tomers annually. These customers a not dissatisfied with their current vehicles but are unsatisfied until they obtain the new models which imaginative engineers and stylists have created. It is sign that the automobile, the new yan of the standard of living, is more technically complex than the bathtub, and that automobiles have been made available to millions of purchasers through native American engineering mat turing methods, duplicated in no other country.

The industry with which I am directly concerned, namely the develop- j ment and manufacture of aircraft an their propulsion, has been erected more on imagination than on any other factor.

The visions of the Wright Brothers were revolutionary, but not more so than th> progress which has been made sino their first flight half a century ago. For each step in this progress there was M stantially no precedent and guidance came only through imagination.

T is OFTEN SAID that we use words

to conceal our thoughts, rather than to convey them. Truly, it requires imagination— and the ability to use non-technical language—to accomplish a meeting of minds with another person, and thus to make possible cooperation with him.

On a wider scale, in these days of high specialization, it is probable that the scientists and engineers have less mutual understanding with the humanists, that

Dr. Coon stated his philosophy in this way. "I would be despondent indeed if I thought that man would not eventually unlock all the secrets of the universe."

Dr. Coon, through his imagination and his belief in the future, was stating that it is the responsibility of each generation to add to the accumulated store of knowledge so that we may eventually be cognizant of the real significance of this universe and its laws. These are the building blocks for all engineering and scientific work and should lead us some day to that attainment described by David. "Thou hast given him dominion over the works of Thy hands."

And now, my young friends, in closing—let us recognize a basic truth. Success in life is not a destination, it is a journey. Fortunately, this means that no one is obliged to work toward a single distant goal and be judged successful only if he attains that one objective. As with a traveler, the end of the journey is usually beyond the range of vision, but there is much of interest and beauty along the way to reward each day's steps.

The happiest journey is not made with downcast eyes which see only tired dusty feet, but with uplifted sight to appreciate the visible panorama and with the imagination to understand its significance and to picture what may lie beyond. The stars were made for those who look up and whose imagination knows no limitations.

TOUGH JOB WELL DONE The man pictured on these pages has just completed 17 months in the challenging job of acting president of Georgia Tech.

During that period he saw to it that Tech continued its advancement and leadership as one of the country's outstanding engineering and scientific educational organizations. H As a small token of their appreciation for his efforts on the behalf of Georgia Tech, the faculty and a few Tech alumni presented the automobile shown in the background to Dr. Weber on his return from a trip abroad in early August.

Three weeks later, the Alumni Association's Board of Trustees tendered in an official resolution their "sincere appreciation and gratitude for the excellent manner in which he served as acting president . . . and for his splendid cooperation with the Association in the conduct of alumni affairs." H At the same meeting at which this resolution was passed, Tech's new president, Dr. Edwin Harrison, summed up Dr. Weber's contribution by saying, " I have never moved into an administrative position in which affairs were in such excellent order. I call on him many, many times a day for advice and help.

He is always willing to help. He is the most patient man I have ever known."
