. old and new students return to the campus and once again embark upon a new school year. For the senior this school year holds much in promise. There are honors to be won, people to meet, Things To Do. However, the realization soon comes that he is still on the ragged edge as far as the Registrar is concerned and a little work is indicated. To present all these de- ments of senior life in the Senior Section of the flue Print has been our aim. Scattered throughout the Senior Section will be found what we called "Atmosphere shots." These pictures present the life at Tech as the senior lives it. Here will be found scenes of work and play --both essentials of a good educa- tion. The Georgia School of Technology operates in two divisions—The School of Engineering and the Departments of General Study. The Schools of Engineering Mechanical Textile Aeronautics Architecture The Departments of General Stud. Biology and Public Health Ceramics Economics and Social Science Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Engineering Drawing and Mechanics Civil English Electrical Geology General Mathematics Industrial Management Physics This division into two parts, although not closely observed in leaching practice, is used as an administrative tool. The School OF ENGINEERING PIETRO DOMENICO SAVANT Dean To many students Dean Savant is merely a power in the Electrical Engineering De- partment and the Director of the General Engineering Course, but to the people be- hind the scenes who devise the curricula to he offered by Tech, he takes on a new role —that of Dean of Engineering. Specifically it is his job to approve all changes in curricula, usually at the suggestion of the head of a department, but when these sug- gestions are not forthcoming to make the necessary changes himself. His is one of the most important single jobs at Tech. SEnior CLASS OFFRCERS R. ADERHOLD President J. T. BAYER Vice-President .1. F. STOVALL Secretary-Treasurer The march of time is relentless, yet eventually offers reward to those who persistently keep grinding! College! Four years out of life, yet the basis of a genuine foundation on which the remainder of your span o f life shall rest. Seniors! How immense that fact looms, none hut seniors can know; and this realization comes only in a moment of deep medita- tion as with an array of Butt.: PRINTS before us, we retravel the l o ng journey that is nearing com- pletion. As we review in our minds manifold experi- ences shared with classmates and friends, we realize that this has been an epoch of carefree existence after all. However. momentous events have taken place that have and will be instrumental in shaping our future destinies. We are made cognizant of our responsibility that comes to us with our diplomas from Georgia Tech. In this time of memories and self valuations, we realize that the old proverb— "As ye sow. so shall ye reap" -is too true; and under the influence of that deep insight that impels us to honesty we admit that we are prepared for lifes destinies in a direct ratio to the efforts we have thus far expended. The standard of our Alma Mater shall ever be a beckoning light urging US to worthier goals. Minor disturbances such as campus politics, the two fraternity factions, the inevitable deficiency list and notes from the Dean fade into our album of cherished pictures as we take the diploma and at- tempt to put into our jobs the same enthusiasm and drive that we pm into college. SCHOOL OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING THE SCHOOL The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics was established in 1930. Students enter this department after three years of basic work in General Engineering. and after two more years of concentrated work in aeronautics receive a degree of Bachelor of Sci- ence in Aeronautical Engineering. THE PROFESSOR—Montgomery knight, B.S., Ph.D. Professor Knight received a degree of Bachelor of Science in Elec- trical Engineering at M. I. T. in 1922, following with a study of Physics at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. For four years previous to becoming the head of Aeronautical Engineering at Georgia Tech in 193(1 he served on the National Advisory Committee for Aero- nautics at Langly Field. Since Then he has become an associate fellow of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences and has conducted the Hilixcopter research for the State Engineering Station. FACULTY A. M. SCHWARTZ W. H.

SCHOOL OF ARCHRTEUTURAL ENGINEERING THE SCHool The course in Architecture, which originated in 1908 and is accredited by the American Institute of Architecture, requires live years of work for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture. THE PROFESSORHarold Bush-Brown, A.B., M. Arch. Professor Bush-Brown received degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Architecture at Harvard. Before coming to Tech in 1922 he was associated with the architectural Aires of Jackson and Moreland and with Cramb and Furguson. He became head of the department in 1925 and at one time since then has held the office of president of the local chapter of the American institute of Archi- tecture. In 1935 he was district officer for the American history survey for Georgia. Professor Bush-Brown collaborated with the other members of the Architecture department in designing all the recent buildings erected on the Tech campus.
