ident of MIT, isn't a man to pull his punches when he makes a speech. Now on leave as President Eisenhower's scientific advisor, the Georgia-born head of the Boston institution hit a few long-neglected nails smack on their heads in his initial speech on his new job.

The respected educational administrator told a dinner meeting of the Women's National Press Club in Washington on Jan. 7 that recent Soviet missile-satellite successes have not deprived this country of its overall scientific-technological superiority. He then proposed a four-point program to insure that the United States will retain world leadership in science and technology.

Two of the four points that Dr. Killian outlined were not surprising to anyone who has happened to read a newspaper or magazine in the months that have followed the Russian scientific upset. They were (1) a plea for colleges and universities to raise their entrance requirements "to exclude the ill prepared and incompetent applicants," and (2) to increase the emphasis on the value of intellectual discipline.

A I T WAS in the other two points that Dr. Killian must have shocked all the newspaper and magazine columnists and editorial writers and the letter-to-theeditor bugs who have become educational experts recently.

The first of the shockers noted by the new missile czar was that educators and the public must rid themselves of the idea that science is "materialistic" and in competition with the socalled humanities like literature, languages and philosophy.

It has long been one of our pet peeves that a great number of educators and writers in this country have continued to foster the misconception that graduates of our engineering and scientific schools are a group of dull clods unable to appreciate anything but the material things of life. Every engineering and scientific school in this country gives its students a solid dose of the humanities. And we have never heard a single technological or scientific educator say that the humanities should be

sacrificed for more materialistic courses in their own curricula. In fact just the opposite is true. They are constantly trying to find ways to put more humanities in their required courses.

In today's world, the engineer and the scientist are no more materialistic than anyone else. Most of them show just as much or more interest in the good things of life as any other educated group.

A T H E OTHER POINT made by Dr. Kil-

lian was to us the best of the lot. He said that this country must achieve a "high degree of scientific literacy amon^ the rank-and-file of Americans." For a man can not be educated for modern living "unless he has an understanding of science."

This brings up another moot point.

These same people in education who have made it a point to criticize the scientific and technological schools for not teaching more humanities have in their own institutions allowed many men and women to get a Liberal Arts degree without taking a single course in science or engineering. How, in this day and age, can they call these people educated?

Sure, Georgia Tech and its fellow institutions do not educate the whole man.

But then what university does?

For another man's view on engineering education, take a look at Tech senior Karl Johnson's article on "Educationeering" on page 10.

A A N ARTIST at any trade is always a

welcome sight. Tech has a new one around the campus. He goes by the name of David "Duke" Denton, and he is a basketball player by trade. Although the Duke is just a sophomore, he has already taken over the crowd at the Big Dome.

Unfortunately the Duke is not an artist with the books. And keeping him eligible may be the biggest problem facing Whack Hyder in the next two years. For more about the Duke and the Tech basketball team turn to page 20 of this issue.

The Big Expansion

THE COVER GEORGIA

IN THIS DAY AND AGE of space satellites, guided missiles, and proposed trips to the moon, it might seem rather old-fashioned to write a column about helping others.

But there are some things that should never be outmoded, and lending a helping hand to another Tech man is one of them.

I know that at one time or another in the life of each of you, a fellow Tech alumnus has gone out of his way to do something nice for you when you really needed help. It may have been a business or social favor, helping you find a place to live, an introduction to a local civic or business club, making you feel at home in a strange and lonely city or one of the many other helpful things that one man can do for another a long way from home.

One of the fine memories of my life grew out of an incident that happened to me in a strange city soon after my graduation from Tech. It was a period at which my spirits had hit a new low. Eugene D. Hill, II. whom I had just met in Louisville, Ky., invited me to have dinner with his family. Just the chance to talk with someone who shared a common experience lifted me out of this depression. Out of this seemingly insignificant incident came an awareness of how much Georgia Tech had come to mean to me.

Helping another Tech alumnus in this manner is just one more way in which you can help Georgia Tech.

The man you aid will surely become a bigger Tech booster for knowing you. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Portraying the particular look of one month on one college campus was the job thrown at photographer Bill Diehl in this issue. The starkness of February at Georgia Tech can be found in the cover picture while the month's tendency towards loneliness and curiosity are pictured on pages 13 through 19 of this issue.

On page 6 of this issue is reported for you the greatest physical plant expansion in the history of Tech. Within less than three years, over $10,000,000 will be added to a plant that less than 15 years ago totaled but $4,500,000. The solid support that you have given Georgia Tech has had a great deal to do with this physical plant expansion. The Governor of Georgia, the General Assembly and the Board of Regents are well aware of the type of support the alumni of Georgia Tech and industry have been giving the institution. And they have acted accordingly to increase State support to Tech.

Your continued support of the Roll Calls has borne fruit for Georgia Tech in many ways. (_^\J^AJLJ-

What is the Bell S y s t e m ?

-#-.

The Bell System is wires and cables and laboratories and manufacturing plants and local operating companies and millions of telephones in every part of the country.

BELL SYSTEM

The Bell System is people . . . hundreds of thousands of employees and more than a million and a half men and women who have invested their savings in the business.

It is more than that. The Bell System is an idea.

It is an idea that starts with the policy of providing the best possible telephone service at the lowest possible price.

The thing that makes it work so well in your behalf is the way the Bell System is set up to do the job.

But desire is not enough. Bright dreams and high hopes need to be brought to earth and made to work.

No matter whether it is some simple matter of everyday operation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the great skills necessary to invent the Transistor or develop underseas telephone cables to distant countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Bell System has the experience and organization to get it done.

You could have all the equipment and still not have the service you know today.

You could have all the separate parts of the Bell System and not have the benefits of all those parts fitted together in a nationwide whole.

And an attitude and spirit of service that our customers have come to know as a most important part of the Bell System idea.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE PRESIDENT

BIGGEST BOOM IN BUILDINGS Georgia Tech's biggest expansion program gets into high gear with a groundbreaking pictured above are engaged in the ancient and honorable ceremony of breaking ground for a new building. Taking place on January 23, this particular ceremony was in honor of the long-needed $2,100,000 Classroom Building now being constructed South of the Price Gilbert Library.

It was a most significant groundbreaking for several reasons, chief among them being that it heralded a new era of construction at Tech that will increase the net worth of the physical plant by almost one-third in three short years.

During this year, the groundbreaking ceremony should be repeated at least three times as Tech begins to expand to get ready for the onslaught of students which is expected to drive the Institute's present enrollment of 5,500 up to the 7,000 mark by 1962.

The Electrical Engineering Building, the Nuclear Research Reactor, and the Radioisotopes and Bioengineering Laboratoryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the other new buildings definitely set to be addedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are marked in white on the adjoining aerial map which includes the new planning boundaries for the campus.

Tech also expects to get new dormitory facilities to house 1,000 students through a loan now pending with the Public Housing Administration. And the new Georgia Tech Motel and Southern Regional Education Board building, though not strictly Georgia Tech buildings, reflect the increased construction on the campus.

For more about the new buildings please turn the page.

BIGGEST BUILDING BOOM continued

Tech's new $2,100,000 Classroom Building as envisioned by the architect. The front of the Price Gilbert Library is on the left, here

CLASSROOM AND EE: LONG-NEEDED BUILDINGS ON THE WAY for Tech faculty members and students in many a moon should come to pass in the summer of 1959 when the building sketched above will be ready for occupancy. For, from that time on, the IM's will no longer shuffle down the hallowed and antiquated halls of Swann, the Math classes will be held outside of the dreary Old Shop, the English courses will no longer be taught in the oldest building on the campus, and the Psychology Department will come out of the temporary structures where it has been in hiding all of these years.

All four of these departments will be housed in the sleek, air-conditioned, 137,000-square-foot building with its 68 classrooms, 23 special-purpose rooms and numerous faculty and administrative offices. Connected to the Library by a two-story corridor, the new building will be of reinforced concrete frame, brick veneered with aluminum windows.

The site drops off so that the building will be four stories THE BIGGEST PSYCHOLOGICAL LIFT

high on Hemphill Ave. with the three top floors supported by columns. It was designed by the Atlanta architects, A. Thomas Bradbury & Associates. Financing for the building came through a bond issue under the University System Building Authority.

Electrical Engineering Building In its most recent bond sale, the University System Building Authority included the cost of the new Electrical Engineering Building. A tentative architect has been appointed for the $3,700,000 structure, and design plans are now in progress. This building will take over the load of one of Tech's largest and oldest schools which has been occupying its present outmoded structure since 1896.

The EE Building is expected to be completed late in 1960. It will be located north of the Textile Building in the new campus area (see map on page 6 ) .

RADIOISOTOPES: A YEAR AWAY

I

MAJOR LECTURE AND LABORATORY COURSES in Tech's nuclear graduate program are being taught in temporary locations on the campus awaiting the completion in early 1959 of the building shown above. This Radioisotopes and Bioengineering Laboratory, which will also be used for research, had the distinction of being expanded by 60% in Iloor space and $231,000 in equipment before it ever got off the drawing boards at the office of John Cherry, the architect. The additional funds for the expansion came from the National Institutes of Health ($125,000) and the Board of Regents ($69,500) while the equipment funds came from the Atomic Energy Commission.

NUCLEAR REACTOR: A CONCEPT below represents a concept of what in 1960 will be the equal of any Nuclear Research Reactor located at an institution of higher learning in the world. Its value is $3,800,000, and $2,500,000 of this amount has already come to Georgia Tech through the Board of Regents from the Governor of Georgia. The remainder of the funds are expected to come from various federal agencies.

The reactor will be of the heavy-water-moderated, heterogeneous, enriched fuel type, and its conceptual design was done by Dr. Walter H. Zinn, dean of reactor designers.

Educationeering Needed has just been jolted out of its complacency.

L In spite of our smug belief to the contrary, we now know that Russia is definitely forging ahead or us in some branches of science. Even allowing for the fact that Russia obtained a great deal of her scientific knowledge from the secrets stolen from the United States by the several spy rings that have been active, and allowing for the tremendous help they have received from captive German scientists, still we must recognize that Russia has made tremendous advances on her own in the past few years.

At present everyone is making excuses for America not being the first to launch a satellite. The Army is blaming the Navy; the Democrats are blaming the Republicans; the Integrationists are blaming the Segregationists. In fact, almost everyone is putting the blame on everything and everybody except where it is due. The sad fact is that there have not been enough qualified engineers and scientists to complete the task.

What is the cause of this shortage? Why should a country which is perhaps the most mechanized in the world have a shortage of scientists? My belief is that America has advanced in every field of scientific endeavor except one of the most important: the science of education.

A TECH SENIOR HAS HIS SAY ABOUT EDUCATION IN TODAY'S COMPETITIVE WORLD The methods of higher education used today are fifty years behind those recognized in all phases of business and industry.

This is a serious charge. Yet I feel that I can back it up.

In industry, engineering has weighed, studied, classified, analyzed, and scrutinized all phases of human reaction to working conditions; i.e., type of work, quantity of work per person, and periods of industry, the purpose of all this being to maximize human efficiency and thereby to maximize production. But what efforts have been made in the field of education to study techniques to maximize learning efficiency? How does anyone know what type of training aids or what particular teaching psychology should be used to maximize student's learning efficiency?

The problems of industry are immensely complicated.

A manager must have at his disposal all the talent that he can muster in practically every field one can imagine. The deadlines are sometimes seemingly impossible. Yet with all these problems, industry is capable of fantastic production and is able to offer a product at a fairly reasonable price. Why is it impossible for institutions of higher learning to operate just as efficiently as industry?

The well known Scanlan Plan is an example of maximizing human efficiency in industry. The plan was designed to get a floundering business back on its feet, and Tech Alumnus

the first step toward accomplishing this was the definition of a goal for the business. In the case of the Scanlan Plan the goal was simply but appropriately "production." Why not define a goal for higher education in much the same manner? Perhaps the wording could be something like this.

The goal of higher education in the United States should be to prepare young persons for handling the problems of life, not only those that involve accomplishing creative tasks (and thereby earning a living), but also for those that involve being good citizens and making good lives.

Once a goal has been established, there must be an elfective means by carrying it out. This is the next problem we must face.

Perhaps the most serious problem in higher education today is the need for teachers who have a superb command of their own particular subject matter. Too often people of this calibre are snatched up by industry, and they find it financially impractical to give up a high-salaried position to return to teaching. in many schools, however, there are teachers who are literally giants in regard to command of their subject matter. Yet they might as well be speaking in Arabic for all that they accomplish in communicating their knowledge to the students. What they desperately need is a knowledge of training techniques and teaching psychology which would transform them into highly effective teachers.

These, then, are the two main problems that stand, in the way of accomplishing the goal that higher education could set. First, a teacher can accomplish nothing regardless of how well he can teach if he has limited command of his subject. Secondly, a teacher can accomplish February, 1958

nothing regardless of how well he knows his subject if he fails to communicate his knowledge to his students.

It logically follows that there is a need for very great progress in the area where knowledge of subject matter and teaching strategy come together. To plan and carry out an effective course a teacher must know how to instill a reasonable amount of enthusiasm in his students. This can best be done by giving the students a goal toward which to work and by giving them additional motivation along the way in the form of special assignments and quizzes. In other words, a student must be shown that the course is of real and personal value>to his life.

A solution to this gigantic problem could not be laid out neatly on one page, or even in one volume, but a suggested plan of action would necessarily follow from the previous remarks.

A conference must be held to determine what methods should be used to bring into closer agreement subject matter knowledge and teaching strategy and to determine what other action is necessary to improve higher education. This meeting should be a selected cross section of the top-flight men in our universities, colleges, and technical schools throughout the country. The number should be limited to perhaps one-hundred men representative of all major fields.

The breakdown of percentages for each field could be determined by percent of first degrees granted in the various fields. In the case of one-hundred men this would imply: Engineering, Eleven; Arts and Sciences (including Physical Sciences), Forty; Business Administration, Fourteen; Education, Fifteen; English, Five; and All Other Fields, Fifteen.

There should be two meetings, one per year, and they should last a minimum of two weeks each. Prior to the first meeting four or five papers should be prepared for presentation, and these should be the basis for further research of the group.

An extended educational research program, broken into many phases, should be started at the first meeting and continued throughout the year. At the second meeting findings would be presented and a further course of action plotted.

The location of the meeting place should be carefully chosen. Possibly the meetings could be held at the Arden House on the Hudson, or some other very pleasant place.

It is obvious that such a long and confining meeting of the nations' top educational leaders would be impractical were it not for the urgency of the need for such a conference. The goal of improving higher education must be reached as quickly as possible.

An idea is of no use unless it can be tested, and yet this proposed plan would seem to require national attention and cooperation to be put into effect. Yet, there is no need to build an entire plane to test the aerodynamic properties of its design. A scale model of an educational research plan could be tested at Georgia Tech.

The Look of February at Georgia Tech Eugene

Quails

Eebruary is a month with a look all of its own . . . A month with the look of bleakness and loneliness . . . A month in itself a paradox . . .

The very shortest of months . . . Yet, coming as it does in the middle of the school year, it somehow is also the longest . . . It is the month of changing weather and of changing moods . . . At Georgia Tech, February looks like this.

THE STUDENT SECTION MAKES THE BIG NOISE AS THE JACKETS RALLY AGAINST THE KENTUCKY WILDCATS.

The Alexander Memorial Coliseum packed them in this y e a r to see

Photographed by Dick Thompson

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF WHACK HYDER'S BOYS in late January, Georgia Tech's basketball team was the little train that could, sittin' loftily on top of the SEC in a tie with mighty Kentucky. But two successive beatings by Alabama and Auburn knocked Whack Hyder's boys back into the middle.

Tech had attained its top ranking by whipping Adolph Rupp's Wildcats, 71-52, before 7,600 people, the largest crowd to ever witness a basketball game in the State. It was the fifth crowd of capacity or over at the Alexander Coliseum this season. Oddly enough, the Jackets won every one of these big games. Mississippi State (undefeated until Tech beat them, 78-61), Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Georgia were the other victims of the crowcf-conscious Jackets.

At this writing with four games remaining on the schedule, Tech's record is 14 and 8. In the conference, the Jackets are 7 and 3. The Jackets who were supposed to be a year away pulled the first surprise of the season when they won the Motor City Invitational Tourney in Detroit over the Christmas holidays by beating Marquette and Detroit. The Mississippi State, Kentucky and Tennessee wins were the other upsets pulled off by this team.

OR ONE WONDERFUL FIVE-DAY PERIOD

Stars of this year's team have been the great junior guard tandem of Blemker and Randall and the Duke from Bowling Green, Kentucky, Dave Denton, a sophomore. Sophomore 6' 1" center Frank Inman and seniors Gary Phillips and Jimmy Johnson are the other Jackets who have alternated as starters.

With a top-notch, high-scoring freshman team which has lost but one game, Tech stands to be a mighty rough squad next year. Of course, the success of next season may well rest on keeping the pro baseball scouts from signing Blemker as a pitcher and Denton's scholastic average.

No matter what their won and lost record is at the end of this season, the 1957-58 Jacket team will go down as one of the most exciting of all Tech athletic teams. They have the ability to excite a crowd like no other team seen in this area in recent years. And their victory over Kentucky brought on a shirt-tail parade and a day's holiday from school for the Tech students.

Basketball has caught on at Georgia Tech. And future years will probably see the sellout crowd at the Big Dome the rule rather than the exception.

N e w Tech P u b l i c a t i o n Stresses I n d u s t r i a l D e v e l o p m e n t A 1 0-POINT PROGRAM for optimum industrial growth of Georgia was released today by the Industrial Development Branch of the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station in the initial issue of Weas, a new Georgia Tech publication.

Based on 18 months of basic and applied research, the closely-related 10points of the program are all considered essential by the Tech research group if the State's urgent and long-ranged industrial needs are to be met.

One of the key points of the program was that an independent, non-political committee of business and industrial leaders is needed, both to add prestige and to provide a central, authoritative body which could concentrate on the elimination of existing weaknesses.

This optimum program was prepared at the request of Governor Griffin in order that Georgia could move rapidly toward a more prosperous economy through an intelligent industrial development program.

IDeas is a bi-monthly publication designed to pinpoint needs and disseminate research findings to the industrial development and business leaders and general public of the State. Alumni may receive it free by writing to IDeas, Publications Office, Georgia Tech, Atlanta 13, Georgia.

Now being prepared by the Alumnus team of Wallace (Jane), Diehl (Bill) and Wallace (Bob), the article will show how fraternities help and hinder the educational programs in today's universities and colleges. Also in the same issue, Dr. Edwin D. Harrison returns to the pages of the magazine for the first time since his July interview prior to the time he became president of Tech. Now with six months experience in leading Tech, the president will take a long, hard look at engineering education as practiced at Georgia Tech. Other features of the March issue will include a special profile on Tech's famed placement director, Fred Ajax. In this case, photographer Bill Diehl will turn to the typewriter to write the story of "The Man with 20,000 Jobs." We hope you'll be looking for all this in Jk MARCH, 1958
