Honor Mki Cleveland
Friday evening the Alpha of Kentucky chapter of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, entertained with a dinner in the palm room of
the Phoenix Hotel, which was followed by a theatre party.
The palm room was very attractively arranged for the occasion, the
dinner tables being placed in the form
o a Bent, the badge of th efiraternity.
Beautiful lighting effects were obcandles of
tained with numerous
brown and 'white, the colors of the
fraternity.
The purpose was the recognition
of Miss Katherine Cleveland, of Lexington, and the engineering class of
1924, for high and distinctive scholarship during her course. Miss Clevc
land during the first two years of her
course attained the highest scholastic
standing in her class.
In the constitution of Tau Beta Pi,
there is no provision for membership
for women, hence Miss Cleveland
was ineligible. By an act of the convention of Tau Beta Pi when it met
in Lexington in October, 1923, it was
voted that recognition should be given Miss Cleveland in the form of a
specially designed pin, for use in this

Gaulard and Gibbs originated the alternating
current system in Europe. Their system was impractical in many respects, but had been used with
some success for lighting.
George Westinghouse became interested, and immediately recognized that the weakness of their
system lay in the design and principles governing
the transformer.
He devoted the resources of his organization to
the development of the transformer. When he made
it a practical unit, alternating current, with its vast
commercial advantages, then became possible.
The beginning of the bitter struggle by George
Westinghouse for the supremacy of alternating
current goes back to 1885 and 188C. Remarkable
progress has been made since then and voltages as
high as 220,000 are in commercial use today.
Engineering owes niuch to the
and
fighting qualities of George Westinghouse.
