graduate today from this school. Perhapsthe future of this country and of the worldwill be determined in not too small a degreeon how they have received that heritage andpower.

THE WORLD OF TOMORROWWith the setting of the sun this evening,

another group of scientists has been launchedinto the yawning maw of industrial need.The machines of tomorrow are contained inthe brains and dreams of the men whowalked down the steps of Symphony Halltoday.

And what will these machines be? Whocan tell? There are however a few cryingneeds which perhaps some of these men willsatisfy. Executives 'in the automotive andaviation industries believe the trend istowards smaller private cars and planes. Inthis light, the obvious need will some daybe for motorized roller-skates with wings

-the future man will be a mechanizedMercury, with forty horse-power in his heels.

Machines have donle away with much ofthe drudgery in office work-giving us type-writers and dictaphoznes. The trend is quiteclear here. The engineer of today will haveto design dictaphones which will dictate tothemselves, and typewriters which will com-pose and write their owrn letters.

In ship-building, too, the trend is plain.The ships of tomorrow will be large enoughto require highways, freight canals, and air-lines for the convenience of the passengers.They will be self -supporting. growing theirown vegetables and grazing their own cattle

-this will give the old phrase "sea-goingf armer" a fresh and vital significance.

In medicine there will be advances. Thebaby of tomorrow will upon birth have histeeth, tonsils, appendix, adenoids, liver,stomach, gall-bladder, lungs, and heart re-moved; and so havmig nothing to go wrong,will live forever.

Government is marching to a very obviousend. In the U. S. of tomorrow, everyonewill be in government employ. Taxes willbe no worry, because there will be no one totax. There will be no election brawls orscandals, because there will be no one toelect anyone. Civic corruption will be re-duced vastly, because we will all live inWashington. Congress will become vestigial

since there will be no one to obey its laws,or read its speeches, or send it telegrams.

Hail! 0 World of Tomorrow.

com!)etitioll from many much more,

lavish extravaganza and has consis-

Itently come out on top. The storxy

conceelns the love affair between the

younlg sister of tw o musical comedy

librettists and their middle aged com-

p~oser. It is very beautifully told.

by ARTHUR M. YORK, '38

DOUBLE TALK

According to Dr. Dafoe, the Dionne Quintuplets

speak in two distinctly different languages; one is all

elemental y forni of orthodox F1 ench and the otiier

is a tongue wvhich tiey have invented themselves for

use exclusively Within their own quintet. The Doctor

believes that the girls reverted to their- own language

X-hel they were confused by their nur ses, some of

s hom speak French and some English. As a r esult.

the "Quints'' are backward about picking up mlore

French, because they get along admirably during their

playtime hours, tossing back and forth a string of

mumbles and "goos" that mean nothing to all)one

but themselves.

ARuMS VS. ALMS

Convinced that it is as importanlt to protect citizens

against hunger as against menitally attacks, members

of the British Aledical Association have started a

movement, key-noted last month during a collference,

Whose pul pose is to apply scientific methods to the

establishment of a "national nutrition policy linking

health and agricultures" The feeling wvas strongly

expressed that there is a wide gal) between the avail-

able nutritional knowledge and the social utilization

of such knowledge. It is believed that further delay

wvould result in hi-her hospital expenses, lowver ilz-

dustrial efficiency, and a general waste of human life

and happiness.

Underwater Canyons

Deep canyons in the ocean bottom off the Atlantic

and Pacific coasts of the United States wvere always

assumed to have been formed by erosion from streams

and rivers when that portion of the sea floor was

above Nvater. But now that there is difficulty in

-proving that the land could have sunk to such great

depths, another explanation for the formations be-

comes necessary. Dr. Douglas Johnson of Columbia

University suggests that the canyons might have been

carved out by wvater forced up from the sea bottom

in the fount of an artesian well.

TODAY'S BABYThe New York World's Fair is not remark-

able so much because it represents the worldof tomorrow but because it represents theworld of today, as it would be it the sciencewhich we today have were f ully employedin beneficial directions.

Quite evidently all of the science whichwe have now is noc being employed, nor isthe small part which we meet 'in everyday use being applied beneficially. Perhaps thisis largely owed to the f act that the menwho create scientific knowledge are rarelythermen who make that knowledge availableto others. Chat knowledge is administeredand commercialized by men who have littlecomprehension or respect for the ideals anddesires which created it. A baby who is rearedby people who neither understand and loveit, nor have thought of its potentialities,rarely turns out well.

Such a condition requires either that scien-tists govern the world, or that those whogovern the world be scientists. Obviouslythe latter is the better alternative. It is niceto believe that if the world were governedby our scientists, the miseries which afflictit would vanish away like phantoms; butthat is an absurd belief. It is absurd, though,because so many scientists are not true scien-tists, but people with a grain of learning

and the outlook of an ignorant peasant.

It is the outlook an acquaintance withsience make psible which must rule the

world. It is the love of knowledge for its

own sake, the critical and aloof way of

looking at incident and comment, the deep

dependence on iron-bound fact, and the

power of vision which must rule the world,and which is so glaringly lacking in it now.

That outlook would prevent war because

to the trained mind war is so pitifully futile;

the person with an intelligent outlook would

not be dragged into it by the actions of afew demented men. That outlook would

alleviate poverty and disease because the

present prevalence of both is so obviously due

tmismanagemnent; it is illogical. The scien-List does not use makeshift and inefficientdevices when a properly designed and con-structed apparatus can be obtained.

In the laboratory the scientist is taughtto distrust emotion, to avoid guesswork andchance, to rely only one that which is conl-sistent with what he can see. He demandsthat what he believes must be based on fact,substantiated fact.

Ai-id above all the scientist is introducedto a tolerant and fundamen tal viewpoint.He is taugh-t to combat not pe rsonalities, butmisdeed and untruth, from wherever theyoriginate. He comes in contact with thefact that it is not what people are which isimportant, but what they do and say, whatthey will Idave after them.

Such is the heritage and the power whichfor four years has been offered to those who

President Compton, Ladies andGentlemen:

If I may venture to suggest not areason but all excuse for the honot-you have done me in asking me to3peak here this morning, it is thatdearly folrty years ago I landed atBoston on my first pilgrimage to your',ountry. This occasion gives me amore than welcome oppor~tunity of ex-pr~essing my thanks to my manyL·ieuds in tlhe United States for theirencouragenlent, their' hellp, their opell-aear~ted confidence, their welcome,and their hospitality. To them I owea debt, w~hich I call never Lope to r~e-pay, but which their· generosity is al-ways willing to increase.

been a naturaai opinion seventy y·ears

a single title for my remarks to you

today it might have been "On the

impolrtauce of' not minding one's own

Surveying a pile of unusedthlough antique announcements ofIneetings of tile A-SXI.E. he ponderedin rapt silence, ther~e must -be a usefor everything., lie reasoned, even sea-soned announcements. So lie sent themto an old girl fr~iend in Schenectady.Camee the following day bright andsunny and with it a telegram fromSchenectady saying, "Dearest (we'llcall him) Freddie come quick. Babycoming. Father insists on marriage."But Freddie was slow on the pickup;he missed his cue on the followingSunday when lie forgot to send a\lother's Day greeting to Schenectady.

Quiet, genial, usually smoking aipipe with sel ene contentment, Pro-fessor Warren J. Mead, certainly doesnot appear, on first meeting, to bethe active, energetic man that hiswork proves he is.

One gets the impression of his rest-ful oblivion to all outside disturbingelements almost immediately. Butbeneath that outer surface of peace-ful calm lies the will, personality,and ambition that has made him headof the Institute's department ofGeology.

Member of National AcademyThe latest honor to be bestowed

upol Professor Mead was his electionto the National Academy of Science.Membership in this society is veryselective and is given only in inter-national recognition of outstandingwoI k in various scientific fields.

In the capacity of engineering con-sultant, Professor Mead has been en-gaged in work for the Panama CanalCommission in connection with theproblem of earth slides in GaillardCut. He has also served on variousprojects of the United States Engi-neer s Corps. Appointed to the Colo-rado River Board by . PresidentCoolidge9 he aided in securing a re-port on the feasibility of the BoulderDam Project. Earlier, he conductedan investigation -of iron and coaldeposits in Manchuria for the SouthMLanchurian Railroad.

At Radium DepositsBesides this work, Professor Mead's

professional practice has also takenhim into South America, Cuba, Mex-ico, and Canada. His work in thelast-named country included an air-plane trip to the radium-silver de-posits of Great Bear Lake and Cop-permine River. Immediately follow-ing the close of school this year, heis leaving for Alaska where he willspend the summer as a consultant ina project concerning gold depositsthere.

Apparently, the most striking factabout Professor Mead's journeys isthat they are usually uneventful andwithout mishap. Wher asked if anyexciting occurrences had ever takenplace on these trips, he replied thatthe exact converse was true and thathe hoped it always would be.

Many Professional Societies

Professor Mead holds membershipin a number of professional societies.He belongs to the Geological Societyof America. of which he was Coun-

I In order to accept his new position,

Professor Rossby has been gi anted

leave-of-absenice froil the Institute for

three years. He is internationally

known for his wvork in the applicationIcilor in 1930, the American Institute I of advanced meteorological methods

I of Mining and Metallurgical Enggi-neers, the American Association forthe Advancement of Science, theAmerican Association of EconomicGeologists, the American Society ofCivil Engineers, the American Aca-demy of Arts and Sciences, the SigmaNu fraternity, and the national hon-orary scientific fraternity, Sigma XI.He is the author of numerous paperson geological subjects, and collabo-rated with C. H. Leith on a volumeentitled {'Metamo~rphic Geology," pub-lished in 1915.

Photography is Professor Mead'shobby, and, in fact, he has becomevery expert at it, employing it togreat advantage in his research work.He considers photography as "liter-ally the most important notebook offield work."

Graduated from WisconsinBorn in Plymouth, Wisconsin on

August 5, 1883, Professor Mead is theson of Major C. and Rose (Robinson)M1ead. In 1906 he was graduatedfrom theUniversity of Wisconsinwitha bachelor of science degree. It washere also that he received his mas-ter's degree in 1908 and his doctoratein 1926. In the same year Of his grad-uation, he became a member of the'Wisconsin faculty, and served therefor the twenty-eight years tprevious tohis appointment to the Institute. Hcewas made a professor of geology in1918.

noted N orwegian lmeteorologist. Dr.

Petterssen is a native of Norway and

meteorologist in the Norwegian

Weather Forecasting Service at Oslo,

Tromso, and Bergen. From 1932 un-

Five Year Classes Celebrate

Besides the classes of 1914 and1SS!J twelve other classes have heldand will hold reunions in and aroundBoston at various clubs and inns.

Eight of them represent "five-yearclasses," or the classes which havegraduated at five year intervals from1SS9 to the present. Except for theclass of 1904 which will hold its re-union with the class of 1905 on June23, 24 and 25, at Boxwvood 'Manol, Old

,Lynme, Connecticut, these reunions

will take place during the week pre-cedillg Alumni Day.

.Many informual l eunions of the off-year classes have also been held.The alumni of all the many classesall joined together in one brand re-union yesterday when nearly 1000 as-sembled at the Institute on AlumniDay.

truly a professional man. Some ofthe ancient inonastic ordel s placedservice to mankind so far above allelse that they denied themselves allmaterial comforts, and all the solaceandd distraction of family life. Theyhave earned in all ages the profoundr espect due to their courage and de-votion as they have brought light intothe darkest corners of the earth.Their modern successors carry on thework in just the same spiriL, and tothem be all honor. Professional mengenerally have not thus subjugatedall else to their nain objective. Mluchcan be said in support of the thesis

The possession of a sound philosophy

is not dependent upon any particular

relationship to the organization of

society, although it may -be morel readily acquired under some circum-

stances than under others. Duringappr enticeship nearly all professional

men are employees, and many will

always thus remain. The question asto any individual is not, what is theparticular contractual or other rela-tionship which he maintains withthe society of which he is a partand wvhich supports him in his work,but what is the intellectual relation-ship which he bears to all those towhomI le renders his special knowl-edge available. hMany, of course, neverattain protessional status for thesimple reason that their superiorknlowled-e of a field never exists ornever becomes recognized, When thek~nowledge and recognition are presentin flact, the essential independence ofthe individual -is assured, provided henlainltain,-, his philosophy and does notsacrifice it to a mere struggle forthe maximum possible income. .. .

'"Tlis is the professional man." Dr.Bush said, adding, "today he operateslin a chanted and changing world.Thlis is a world in which protection,illterdependence, and intercommunica-tionz have introduced challengingproblems for all civilization. It is aNvorld in which the professional manneeds to revise his outlook and adaptIlis methods if he is to maintain histraditional position of respected ad.viser. It is a world in which he hasan unprecedented opportunity of min-istrationl of the highest order. .. .

"In1 the confusion of the modernwvorld," the speaker concluded, "theremust be a rock in the stream, un.mloved by the turbulence about it, a

haven of refuge for the troubled, avantage point from which the courseof the torrent can adequately be sur-veyed, a bulwark which can dam thecurrent or force the flow aside. Itcan be furnished in modern societyonly by men of good will, having thereason to understand, the courage tooppose, the steadiness to resist. Sucha group is found only among theprofessional men."

'"et it cannot be repeated toooften: the individual whose primaryobjective is material acquisition, nomatter wihat deg.rees he may appendto his name, no matter how promi-nent he may become in the public eye,no matter what the wvorld at largemay think, is not entitled to admis-sion to the select company of those

who truly possess the professionalphilosophy.

"Again. it is sometimes stated thatonly the independent consultant isreally a professional man, but thistoo is entirely a secondary matter

Would Abandon Democratic Ideal

". . . We must abandon completely

the democratic ideal of preparedness,

in so far as our Savy is concerned,"

he said, since 'the combatant ships

that we have when war breaks out

are the only combatant ships that we

UI11 have during the first year ol years

of the war.... Today the Savy's own

that equipment," the speaker added.

Stark emphasized the Importance of

technology to aviation. "'. . . tech-

nology is the very backbone of avia-

tion," he added, saying, "that applies

not to aeronautical engineering but to

operating as well...."
