Keith Michel '73, President My usual Webb News article begins with a description We are confident that reopening this fall is the right of Commencement Day but this is not a usual year. decision for Webb. As a small college located at the Everything changed in the middle of March when most “end of the road”, we have certain advantages. We have of our students journeyed home to continue their studies been mostly successful in keeping uninvited visitors remotely. Seventeen students remained on campus off campus. (Thanks to the classes of '77 and '88 for including fifteen seniors. We made the most of both sponsoring the automated gates at the entrances to scenarios – our strong sense of community remained campus!) We can expect our students and staff to adhere intact and for the first time in my memory, all students to our safety guidance. And as was demonstrated when passed all their courses! we so quickly shifted from in-person to remote learning in March, we are adaptable and resilient. To the members of the Class of 2020, I extend my best wishes for a fulfilling and successful life. Their time at As Dean Werner explains in his article beginning on page Webb was remarkable in many ways. It was my pleasure 15, the transition to online learning went remarkably to have spent four years enjoying their company and smoothly. However, no one at Webb believes that sitting watching this group excel academically, through their at home behind a computer can begin to substitute for leadership initiatives, and through their volunteerism the collaborative environment of a Webb classroom.

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application.

ABSTRACT Shipbuilding in the United States is examined in the context of its productivity problem and the possible solutions offered by modern shipbuilding techniques. Specifically, group technology is applied to naval shipboard piping systems. A nine digit code is developed to iden- tify pipe assembly manufacturing attributes, with emphasis placed on utilization of the code for workload balancing and reduction of setup time. Use of the code for rudimentary shop routing is also discussed. The code is shown to serve as an excellent means of organizing pipe assembly information into a usable data base.

What Hospital Life Taught Alb e rt Curtis CRATTAN CONDON SIX years many things can hap- INpen, especially within the walls of a veterans' hospital. To a variety of experiences, in my own case, I re- sponded in a perhaps not unusual man- ner. But now, once again back in civilian life, I realize how harmful it was for me to indulge in certain moods. For example, in being afraid, in expressing resentment, suspicion, anger and even non-cooper- ation with the hospital staff and with my fellow-patients. Hospital life can be compared to out- side life in this respect, that there are in both so many things to be grateful for, and especially so many good turns to do, that it is actually a waste of time and positively injurious for one to harp on un- pleasant things, and turn them over irra- tionally in mind, as I occasionally did. I remember, for example, the time I was very much wrought up over a trivial matter. It was a bright moonlight night, I confess (with and the moon seemed all the more bril- blushes) that I liant after the night-nurse had made her sassed her back bed-check, and lights on the ward were turned off. I decided therefore to lower the Venetian blinds, and without think- ing of my neighbor, I lowered them. But borly and friendly, not put into practice ing whether I pulled through or not.

In number of ships to be demolished as well as tonnage, India, with 120 ships (42%), remains destination number 1 before Bangladesh with 55 (24%), Pakistan with 25 (11%), and China with 23 (9%). The accumulated demolition will permit the recycling of nearly 2 million tons of metal. The crisis is over ! The prices offered by the demolition yards have significantly increased and continue to increase in the yards of the Indian subcontinent, but also in China; they have reached $400, even $500 for oil tankers and more for ships containing stainless steel.
