William Gibson, of Pittsburg, an old
acquaintance and friend of the University, will make his usual yearly
address here. His talk is anticipated
with a great deal of pleasure, for Mr.
Gibson is a man of broad experience
and cultural refinement.
D. C. Crawford, Superintendent
of
Motive Power, Pennsylvania ' Lines

represented.
This branch is unique
in being the only one in which all
Seniors in mechanical and electrical
engineering must hold membership.

SOCIETY FORMED.
The members of the Freshman class
of the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering have hitched their
wagon to a star, and are occupied in
clinging to the dashboard with both
hands while their wagon rocks and
jolts along the exceedingly
road to engineering learning, impelled
hv the mighty impetus of that same
celestial body.
The name of the star is George
Westlnghouse.
At the beginning of the Bchool year
each class in mechanical and electrical engineering forms a society, meeting weekly or biimonthly to hear addresses by engineers on technical subjects, to discuss matters of general
engineering Interest, and to admit of
a closer social intercourse between
tho students. Each class selects the
name of some great engineer for the
name of the society. No better name
could be chosen since Westlnghouse,
the father of the airbrake, was a genius, a great man, a groat fighter, and
a great contributor towards human
progress.
When the Westlnghouse
Company was Informed of the name
selected by the Kentucky engineers
for their society it Immediately assumed a paternal Interest in the society, and it is through the company's
kindness that the Freshman class in
mechanical and electrical engineering
will immediately take up the study of
with all
the Westlnghouse
auxiliary equipment.
