$x*p* A TRIBUTE AND A SALUTE

Our 30-Year Class Book was compiled and published by a committee of which "Chris" Stouffer was Chairman. I, for one, read with a great deal of interest the auto­ biography of each one of our '06 crowd from whom we were able to get a report at that time. During the past twenty years our ranks have been greatly thinned and as a matter of fact six of our most prominent members have passed on since our last Reunion. In this last record, Chris has again undertaken the job and assumed responsibi­ lity for its becoming a reality. Through his efforts, (assisted by other members of the Class), he has collected biographical data from all "06ers" that would respond. AB you well know there is always a group that will not be convinced, and our crowd, in this respect, is unfortunately no exception. Sad but true. Our Tribute is therefore to "Chris" Stouffer on the wonderful job he has done in assembling and publishing this last Record of our Class, which in our few remain­ ing years we will appreciate more and more, and of which he can be justly proud. I also Salute the Class of 1906 as being the finest bunch of fellows ever turned loose at Lehigh. Of course there are fifty or more other presidents who will feel the same way about their classes and will dispute our claim. We had the first year of Dr. Drinker's inspiring leadership, received our diplomas from him as his first grad­ uating class and now dedicate this book to his memory.

Best Wishes,

'Stepper"

[ 1 1 We, survivors of the Class of 1906 of Lehigh University, respectfully and grate­ fully dedicate this record to, and in memory of, HENRY STURGIS DRINKER, E. M. '71. PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY, 1905-1921. To us, the first class to receive diplomas at his hands, he was more than friend, more than counsellor, more than President of Lehigh University—to us of the class of 1906 he was virtually a vicarious father, carefully, tenderly, thoughtfully and with conscientious concern watching over and guiding us in our formative years on the Lehigh campus. C 2 ] DR. MARTIN D. WHITAKER,

President of Lehigh University since June, 1946, one of the nation's leading nuclear physicists, active in the atomic energy program since its inception, well known in many national educational organizations as well as state and community endeavors, now outstanding as the leader of one of our country's great universities Greetings and Salutations from the Class of 1906.

[ 3 ] REFLECTIONS This record had its inception in our undergraduate years, when the suggestion was made to our Senior Class Book Committee that provision be made to duplicate that book at some later date. That seed came to maturity in our Thirty Year Class Book of 1936, to which 75 of our members contributed brief autobiographies.

A few years ago the suggestion was made that we compile a record for the longer term, but the seed fell on shallow ground and the idea is only now materializing. This record of our achievements and experiences covers the period from our entrance into Lehigh to the present. There has been a minimum of editing and each story is given practically as submitted.

In spite of the urging required to get the project under way, the correspondence involved in the assembling of material has led to many agreeable contacts. Not the least among these were a number of personal calls on classmates who happened to be living within the areas of your scribe's vacation trips. These visits linger as happy memories.

It has been an interesting project, rather than the tremendous burden some feared would be unloaded on one man's shoulders. There has been considerable assistance from individual classmates as well as from members of other classes, and from the families of deceased members. We leaned heavily on the Alumni Association records, upon the Class News Columns of the Alumni Bulletin and occasionally had recourse to the Thirty Year Book......

We would be ungrateful, indeed, should we omit recognition of the staunch sup­ port of our genial president, "Stepper", without whose backing we would have had really tough going.

Our hearty thanks to all who helped make this book.

"Chris."

LEWIS GILBERT BISHOP, E. E.

2337 EAST 23RD STREET, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Born — October 30, 1882, Fairfield, Jamaica, West Indies, where his parents were Moravian Missionaries to the Negroes Pre-college work at Nazareth Hall and Moravian college. Entered Lehigh Sept. 1900 with the 1904 Class. After his sophomore year he dropped out for two years to gain practical experience. Returned September 1904, and graduated with 1906. He was thus one of the early advocates of the co-operative system. With three other Electrical graduates he went to Pittsburgh for the Westinghouse Engineering Apprenticeship Course. The final period of this course was spent in the Railway and Lighting Department, in the Seattle office. After receiving his diploma he spent several years with a consulting engineer in that city, engaged in designing and constructing steam electric power plants. Up to this time he had the definite aim of becoming a consultant on hydro electric power plants, but ill health, result­ ing in a stay in a hospital, necessitated a change in plans. In his Junior year he had chosen the Chemical elective courses, which now forms a basis for plans for recovering aluminum from the ores found in the area in Madera County, California, which he had homesteaded in 1916. He has also studied the pos­ sibility of recovering copper from several mining properties in Shasta County, Cali­ fornia in which he had made investments during his college years. For many years Lewis devoted his time to caring for his mother who died June 6, 1954.

EDGAR ASHTON BORHEK

352 "WILLIAM STREET, EAST ORANGE, N. J. In college days I lived on Goepp St., in Bethlehem, Pa. Spent only two years in Lehigh, in the Civil Engineering Course. When I left the class I had no projected course in life that I meant to follow; if I had any ambition it was a desire to see something of the world and try and find out what this life was all about. To some extent I realized my desire to travel but what this life is all about I have no conclusion, as William James said "what has concluded." [ 7 ] Rather than glve an account of professional services I was engaged in, I would prefer to mention some of my most vivid and lasting recollections from which an idea can be gained as to the services that I did render. They are as follows: My first experience in a railroad location survey camp in the hills and valleys of what is now Dante, ~Va.; the time I spent at Long Key Florida on the construction of the Long Key Viaduct; the first sight at daybreak of Havana Harbor and Morro Castle and sailing around the remains of the old battleship Maine; a preliminary survey for a highway for the Cuban Government in the Province of Orients; observing Hal- ley's comet from a point north of San Angelo, Texas when on an irrigation project in that locality; being accidentally knocked off a piledriver into the Ozama river when on wharf construction for the Government of Santo Domingo; many pleasant days on lock and dam construction on the Ohio river; the severe winter of 1917 -1918 at Hog Island when on shipway construction; when on sugar plantation work riding through the cane fields of Cuba on moonlight nights and in Venezuela a trip up the Arauca River in a launch to the Colombian Border and then down the Capanaparro River to the Orinoco and back to point of departure, having seen its unforgetable llanos and some primitive Indians. This last when employed in the oil industry. After retiring from regular work I spent some months each year for some years with Gilbert B. Grunwell, L. U. '27, with whom I had been associated in Venezuela and who had joined the U. S. Geological Survey. I was with Gil, as I call him, as his rodman on photo control surveys and triangulation recorder. With Gil and his family I spent many enjoyable days; we often lived together and observed life in numerous places from Bartlett, N. H. to Fort Benning, Ga. I have been married to the same wife for forty years; she was Marguerite Dun­ ham of Staten Island; we have no family. The only hobby to which I was really dedicated was trout fishing, but that past- time has now sunk to such low levels that I indulge in it for only very short intervals. I still have a few interests; I never go to the country without having in my baggage a copy of Roger Tory Peterson's A Field Guide to the Birds and F. Schuyler Adams' Field Book of Amercian Wild Floioers. I have spells when I try to translate some fragments of old Spanish literature that I have accumulated and listen to radio programs that broadcast in Italian and have picked up something of that language. Also I am at home in the kitchen, specializing in beef stew, a rice and shrimp com­ bination and spaghetti sauce given me by a friend whose father was a prominent chef. I have not kept up very well with the fast changing times—I still shave with the old fashioned blade razor, roll the few cigarettes I smoke and can not drive an automobile; I look at TV very seldom and then only for the last few innings of a base­ ball game or some feature race on the tracks such as the Kentucky Derby. Summing it all up I spent over twenty years in Spanish America, twenty two years on various jobs in seventeen states of the Union, one year at sea going back and forth to jobs, seven months in the Army in World War I and the remainder "in blest retirement, friend of life's decline."

DAVID HERBST BRILLHART, C. E. Born — Louganville, York County, Pa., November 16, 1883. Parents, David Y. and Mary (Herbst) Brillhart. He attended Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa., for two years. In college he won second honors in the Civil Engineering course, Junior Year, was member of the Wayside Inn Club, and Civil Engineering Society. His engineering work included several years with the Pennsylvania Steel Com­ pany, Steelton, Pa., during which he served as assistant engineer, in charge of the I 8 ] erection of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad bridge over the Mississippi. Then seven years as estimator, designer, superintendent and manager for the Bethlehem Fabricators. In 1919 he founded, with George Brothers, The Brillhart-Brothers Contracting Company, which in 1923 was merged with the F. H. Clement Co. He served as Vice President, and later President, until 1946 when the company was dissolved. As a publisher he was affiliated with the Bethlehem Globe Publishing Co., the Globe-Times Foundation, the City News Co., Menne Printery, trustee of the Employee's Retirement Fund of the publishing company, and with the Press Publishing Co., Atlantic City, N. J. In the financial field he won favorable notice for his services in the organiza­ tion of the Union Bank and Trust Co, successor to the Wilbur Trust Co. He took justifiable pride in the fact that this reorganization was accomplished without loss to investors. At his death he was chairman of the board and director of the bank, and had been a member of the advisory committee, Reconstruction Finance Corp. Philadelphia area. The extent of his participation in many lines is indicated by the mention that he was on the boards of two railroads, two coal mining companies, a utility company, the Allentown-Bethlehem Airport Corp., the Bethlehem Hotel, the Bethlehem Club, and Saucon Valley Country Club. His interest in community projects was also widespread. He had been a mem­ ber of the Four County Draft Appeals Board and of the War Manpower Commission of the Lehigh Valley during World War II. He was active in the Bethlehem Com­ munity Chest, the Northampton County Cancer Society, the Northampton County Tu­ berculosis and Health Society, the Bethlehem Girl's Club, the Bethlehem Chapter Red Cross, St. Luke's Hospital (trustee) and on the board of the Moravian college and Seminary for women. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem. He died, December 10, 1956 after a prolonged illness in St. Luke's Hospital. Surviving are his wife Elizabeth (Lehr) Brillhart, daughters Mrs. Elizabeth B. Hine, Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Mary Tyler of East Euclid, Ohio, sons Andrew L. of Cleveland and David W. of Summit, N. J.

AUBREY LEVIS BROOMALL, E. E. Born — Lenni, Delaware Co. Pa., June 27, 1884. Son of John Broomall. Prepared for college at West Chester State Normal School. He won second honors in Physics in his sophomore year, and was Vice Presi­ dent of the Electrical Engineering Society. Member of the Theta Xi Fraternity. After graduation he went with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company and was active in the construction and preliminary operation of the first Electric Locomotives for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rwy. that were equipped with dual service motors-Single phase alternating current and direct current. 1911 -1915 he was in charge of the design of Electric Vehicle Motors for the Westinghouse Co. 1915 -1922 head of the Direct Current Motors section of the Engineering Dept. 1922 -1928 Engineer-in-charge and Manager of Renewal Parts Engineering Dept. He married Adelaide Weir of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. They had two daughters, Anna- belle, Ph. D., teacher, now wife of Dr. Richard H. Horn, Pittsburgh, Pa., Beatrice, Allegheny College, now wife of Dr. Franz R. Metzger, Aubrey died of pneumonia April 10, 1928 after a very brief illness. [ 9 ] We quote this appreciation addressed to Pres. Richards of Lehigh by E. B. Roberts of the Westinghouse Co: "Mr. Broomall was one of the substantial men in our Engineering Dept. He entered our employ as a student after graduating from Lehigh, and continued with us until the present. He has had a rapid rise in our or­ ganization and has gained the confidence, not only of his associates here in the com­ pany, but of all who are concerned with railway operative problems all over the country. His loss to us is keenly felt."

JOSE ANTONIO BUCH, C.E. AVENIDA DE BELCICA 4, HAVANA, CUBA Born — Santiago de Cuba, September 26, 1885. In college, Jose was a specialist in Handball and Chess, and a member of the Civil Engineering Society. He was also Vice President of the Circulo Ibero Americano. After graduating, he returned to Cuba and was engaged as Consultant to the Cuban Government on Hydraulic Works. In recent years he has served as secretary of the Sociedad Cubana de Ingenieros.

HARVEY MILLER BURKEY, EL. MET. R. D. No. 1, CATAWISSA, PENNSYLVANIA Born — Reading, Pa., February 13, 1883. Preparatory: Reading High School. College Activities; Track Team, Sophomore Relay Team; Second Honors, Junior Year in Electro Metallurgy, Mining, and Metallurgical Courses. Tau Beta Pi. Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. June 15, 1906, I joined the staff of the Metallurgical company of America, as Metallurgical engineer, assigned to testing a new process and furnace for the reduc­ tion of zinc ores; this project was a failure because the equipment failed mechanical­ ly on every test run. This company had been formed for the purpose of smelting and refining non-ferrous metals and was later absorbed by the Amercian Metal Company, Ltd., which already operated a lead smelting plant in Colorado, and had four zinc smelting plants in Oklahoma operating on natural gas and a produced gas fired plant in Pennsylvania. During World War 1, a lead smelting and refining plant in Mexico was purchased. During the years of my connection with this company the activities covered a wide range; a project for the production of potash for agricultural use was abandoned when large deposits of potash salts were found in the Carlsbad District, New Mexico; the plant of the U. S. Metals Refinery Company at Carteret added the production of copper in large quantities; a plant was built to develop a process for handling the copper ores from Rhodesia, North Africa. Another plant reflected the early interest in alloy steels, when experiments for the production of Molybdenum resulted in the foundation of the Climax Molybdenum Company, the largest producer of Molybdenum in the world. Still another enterprise was a magnesium distillation process for reduction of dolomite. During my employment with this company I had two specific tasks in addition to my metallurgical activities. One was to advise the accounting department in de­ vising cost sheets to show accurately the cost of treating submitted smelting and re­ fining materials; the other to act as a liaison between the men who originated processes at our various plants, and the patent attorneys. At retirement, January 1, 1951, I was Chief Metallurgist for American Metal Company, Limited, and during the 45 years had been responsible for a number of in­ ventions covered by American and foreign patents.

STEWART JOSEPH CORT, EL. MET.

2875 N. MAIN STREET, BETHEEHEM, PA. I was born on a farm in Ogle County, Illinois, March 16, 1881. When I was 2 years old, the family moved to Western Pennsylvania, where the growing up pro­ cess occurred. I started to work after but two years of High School education, and continued working 7 years before entering Lehigh. Three of those years were spent at the Edgar Thomson Works of the Carnegie Steel Company at Braddock, Pennsyl­ vania, and when I went to Lehigh I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I got there. I felt like an old man amongst youngsters when I entered Lehigh because I had been working on a man's job for 3 years. With a very sketchy preparation, I was [ 13 ] under a considerable handicap, but I had the satisfaction of showing Thorn- burgh his error (he tried to keep me out by saying I was very weak in Math) by winning the Math prize in my Freshman year. I had hoped to get deferred tuition when I went to Lehigh, as I was making my own way; but when I came to sign up and read the fine print it stated you could not receive a deferred tuition scholarship if you had relatives who could help you; so I paid my tuition and it made it a rather tough grind for the 4 years. Getting the Wilbur Scholarship in my Sophomore year helped bridge the gap; I was the first one of my class to be elected to the Tau Beta Pi Society. (Editor's note: Stewart neglected to mention several other scholastic achieve­ ments, such as the Williams Prize in English Composition, First Honors in Sophomore English, and First Honors, Junior year, in the Electro-Metallurgical, Metallurgical and Mining Engineering Courses; he was also Business Manager of the Bent, Trea­ surer of the Electrical Engineering Society, as well as a member of the Sophomore Football Team, and the Varsity Lacrosse Team. As a fitting climax he was Valedic­ torian of our class.) After graduating, I returned to the Carnegie Steel Company, for 10V& years, and then transferred to the Cambria Steel Company at Johnstown for one year. I am now finishing my 40th year with Bethlehem Steel Company (Bethlehem ab­ sorbed Cambria Steel), having been for the last 10 years Operating Vice President in Charge of Steel Works and Manufacturing Departments. I received the first Benjamin F. Fairless Award of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the citation reading: Awarded to Stewart J. Cort For his leadership in iron and steel manufacturing which made his company an outstanding producer in the industry 1955 While at Sparrows Point, I served as member and Director of the Baltimore Association of Commerce, in the Baltimore City Commission on Governmental Ef­ ficiency and Economy and in the Department of Welfare. In Boy Scout work, I was on the Baltimore Area Council, and received a bound book of Resolutions from the Executive Committee of the Community Fund for ser­ vices to Scouting. In the Y. M. C. A., I served as Director and President of the Baltimore Associa­ tion and in Bethlehem as President of the Board of Trustees, now Chairman. I am a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute, the American Institute of Metallurgical Engineers, the British Iron and Steel Institute, and Life Member of the American Ordnance Association. Have had a prominent part in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church, not only locally but on a nationwide scale. The last 20 years I have taken a very active part in the affairs at Lehigh; Presi­ dent of the Alumni Association in 1937, following which I was alumni trustee for 6 years, and at the end of that term was elected a Corporate Trustee. I have taken a very active part in the raising of funds; am Co-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and also on the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Since living in Bethlehem, I have taken an active part in the establishment of many new buildings on the Campus. In 194-8, Lehigh honored me by conferring a Doctor of Engineering degree. My parents were Joseph Turner and Martha Shaw Cort. June 14, 1910, married Carolyn Myrtilla Schreiner. [ 14 ] Children: Stewart Shaw, Vice-President in charge of Sales, Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel Corporation, San Francisco. Carol, wife of C. I. Stott, Assistant General Manager of our Sparrows Point Plant. One granddaughter. It has been a great satisfaction to me to see the progress that Lehigh has made in the past 10 years. I am still actively engaged in my life's chosen work.

JOHN SUMMERFIELD CROWTHER, JR., M. E. Born — Cockeysville, Maryland, April 18, 1883. Preparatory: Boys Latin School, Baltimore. Won an Honorary Technical Scholar­ ship to Lehigh. Campus Activities: Calculus Cremation, Junior Prom, and Senior Banquet Committees; Track and Relay team, Manager, '06, Football scrub, Class Vice-Presi­ dent Sophomore year. Canoe Club, Kimmel Club, Phi Tau Kappa. Mechanical En­ gineering Society. After graduation he went with the Bethlehem Steel Co., Sparrows Point, Md. This plant was using ore from Chile and one of his achievements while there was an improvement in the sintering process, by which the powder-like ore was made available for use in the blast furnace. In May 1911, he went with the Toledo Furnace Campany, in the blast furnace department.

In March 1929 he was transferred to the main office of Pickands Mather & Co. at Cleveland, in charge of Blast Furnace and Coke Oven Operations of all the proper­ ties with which that Company was affiliated. January 1, 1930 the Inter lake Iron Corporation was formed by a merger of a number of furnace properties and "Field" was transferred to the general offices of the Corporation at Chicago as Assistant General Manager. A member of the Birtish Royal Engineer's Society came to this country in the late twenties to study steel plant practices. Upon his return his report included the statement that Mr. Crowther was one of two outstanding men among the executives he had met. As a result "Johnny" was made a member of the Royal Engineer's So­ ciety. September 20, 1915, he married Alice Malcolm, of Toledo.

Started as draftsman in the New York Sales office of B. F. Sturtevant and Com­ pany at 15.00 per week. (Pretty good for those limes) . , After eight months left Sturtevant and knocked around several jobs till I got the real heave-ho during the depression of 1907. In 1908 joined the Alberger Con­ denser Company as Sales Engineer. After two years of Boy Scout work was given charge of Heater Sales, which I held till 1912. December 1912 married Elsie Orr of Rahway N. J. Established and was given charge of the New England Office of the Company. We made our home in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Two children were born to us. Ruth Orr, whose husband, Dwight B. Herrick, is in the American Embassy at Rio de Janeiro, and Robert, Lehigh 1938, now a Pro­ ject Engineer for the Foster Wheeler Corporation. After ten years of very happy life together my wife died—a terrible tragedy and a shock from which it was hard to recover. A company merger brought me to the Carteret, N. J. works of the Wheeler Con­ denser and Engineering Company as Research and Development Engineer later shift­ ing to the New York Office of the Company. In 1925 I married Margaret Bearley, a long time friend, and now after thirty one years of married life, I can say that no two people have had a happier and more congenial experience. We have one daughter, Margaret Ann, wife of Thomas Ask, a lawyer in Round-up, Montana. There are seven grandchildren. A later merger re­ sulted in the formation of the Foster Wheeler Corporation. I continued with it becom­ ing Chief Engineer and ultimately Manager of the Industrial Division, which I held at retirement in 1954, after forty-five years with the Company and its predecessors. While we feel the slowing effects of advancing age, we are putting on the brake®, and are doing well. (Ed. Note: Dion gave us this story of his experiences November 12, 1956, just under three months before his abrupt passing, February 7, 1957)

1108 WALNUT ST., ALLENTOWN, PA. Born—Newark, N. J. January 31, 1883. Moved to Allentown at an early age and prepared for college at Allentown High School. August 1, 1906, I started my first job with Chester Steel Castings Company, Chester, Pa, under the tutelage of H. L. Gantt, specialist in efficiency methods. After a short stay at Chester, due to a disagreement with the management, my employment here was terminated and I returned to Allentown. Mr. Gantt had faith in me and I was soon located at the Saylesville Bleacheries, Saylesville, Rhode Island. Our stay at Saylesville was brightened by the presence of John R. James, Charles Underwood, and several others who had joined the force earlier. The systematizers found themselves in hot water with the coming of the 1907 depression, and after a short time, I became associated with a New York fire insur­ ance agency, studying the make up of fire insurance rates as applied in the Metro­ politan area. In 1911,1 came home, joined forces with the Dent Hardware Company, Frillerton, Pa., manufacturing hardware for refrigerators. In due time, I became Vice President in charge of sales, and when the business was sold in February of 1956 I was President. We then organized a new company, Dent Manufacturing Company Inc., North­ ampton, Pa., building a new plant and starting from scratch. My oldest son, Henry H., is President, and I hold the purse strings as Treasurer. In 1914 I married Elizabeth Jane Patch of Newark, N. J., and we have this family to be proud of: 1. Henry H., Lehigh, 1937.—President Dent Manufacturing Company Inc. 2. Charles Cortland, Lehigh, 1940, Captain—United Air Lines, Flight Opera­ tions, LaGuardia Field N. Y. 3.

Walter Reed, Lehigh '52,—Industrial Engineering Department, Bethlehem Steel Company, Bethlehem, Pa. Eight granddaughters, one grandson. You will see from this that I have not retired, but maybe should. Mrs. Dent and I have done some travelling but with advancing age, I for one, am not too keen about it. I am a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Allentown, and have served a span as Trustee, including a term as President. Am interested in the Y. M. C. A. where I served as Director, and made the Boys Committee my specialty. My golf game is of the caliber that I can enjoy it.

He served the Williams and While Co. of Moline, Illinois three years, then went to the Detroit Steel Products Company, rising through various positions to Vice president and General Manager when he left it in 1918, continuing as director to the lime of his death. During World War I he was actively engaged in repairing and welding ships by the eleclric arc, which was then in its infancy. The next ten years were spent with the Gear Grinding Machine Co., of Detroit, in charge of manufacturing and sales. Here he developed and patented many new methods of gear manufacture, now widely used. In 1929 Mr. Drummond founded the National Broach and Machine Co. of Detroit, and served as its President and Director. "To know Mr. Drummond was an inspiration. He was an engineer of great ability, an inventive genius, well versed in matters of finance, an organizer, and a superb salesman who loved to go out and meet the Customers' engineers, and discuss their problems with them. But the great force in his life was his love of people." He always gave generously of his means to charities, particularly those having to do with children. For many years he was a trustee of the Michigan Children's Aid Society, and always a liberal supporter of the Lehigh Student Aid Program. His professional connections were widespread, including the Society of Auto­ motive Engineers, the American Society of Tool Engineers, the American Gear As­ sociation, the National Tool Builders Association, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. His articles on gear manufacture brought him international notice, and he also gained prominence through his invention and development of the Rotary Gear Shaving Process for precision finishing of gears. His social interests included membership in the Detroit Athletic Club, Detroit Golf Club, Bloomfield Hills Country Club, and Black River Ranch, and, in addition, in the Masonic order, Union Lodge No. 121. He died October 23. 1946 at the Henry Ford Hospital after an illness of two months, survived by two sons, Robert J., Birmingham, Michigan; and Chandler W., Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Excerpt from a letter from Marcus, August 31, 1936. "We are working on the development of something new and quite foreign to our line. It is a Co-op Farm Trac­ tor which we are building here and being marketed by wholesale consumer coopera­ tives. A delightful undertaking requiring .the finding of common ground where a capitalistic outfit and the cooperative philosophy can meet and be happy. At any rate we are turning them out and they are giving satisfaction. I hope that when the next reunion comes along I can drive into town with a Co-op Tractor instead of a "Chevie". We proved that these machines do have roadability, when we took a 7000 mile trip through the northwest with, them." October 6, 1920 he married Mabel Stone, who died in 1951.

Episcopalian and Ind. Democrat. At our Commencement Exercises in June, 1906, F. R. Dravo ('87), who was that year President of the Alumni Assn. at Lehigh and as such was in close associa­ tion with the officers of the senior class, offered me a job as timekeeper and field engineer with The Dravo Contracting Co. of Pgh., Pa. on a new coal mine develop­ ment at Republic (near Brownsville), Pa., which, without much hesitation, I accepted. Thus began my long and strenuous career with this organization which remained unbroken until my enforced retirement on July 1, 1954. My services with Dravo may be outlined as follows. Time-keeper and field engineer — 1906 -1909. Supt. on Contract Work in the field — '09 - '14. Asst. estimator, under Pat Nolan ('01) —'14-'17. Upon Kink Johnson's (LU '04) resignation in 1917 to form his own Shaft Sink­ ing Company, I succeeded him as Mgr. of the Shaft & Tunnel Dept. of the Company —in which capacity I served until my semi-retirement in 1949. Was elected a director of The Dravo Contracting Co. in 1920 and was appointed a vice-president in 1922. Since the formation of Dravo Corporation in 1934, and until my retirement, I have held these same offices in this highly diversified organization. In 1949, under a tentative retirement plan, I was named a special consultant to the Shaft & Tunnel Dept. of the Corporation and acted in this capacity until my final retirement in July, 1954.

In anticipation of my retirement, we acquired a 240 acre farm in Southern Mary­ land, about ten miles below Annapolis and only about five miles from my birthplace and boyhood home on West River. In this we were very fortunate because the desir­ able old places down there are very scarce. Since then we have virtually been com­ muting between the two places, each of which we call "home"—and strangely enough we still like it.

[ 27 ] WILLIAM HENRY GRADY, E. M. Born — Warramie, Pa., April 22, 1880. Prepared at Harry Hillman Academy, Wilkesbarre. Before attending the Academy he had worked for the Lehigh Valley Coal Com­ pany as a draftsman a number of years and was assisted m taking his college work by a scholarship from the Academy and substantial support from W. A. Lathrop, Lehigh C. E. '76, who was prominent in the Anthracite area m those days. He distinguished himself in college while President of the Mining Engineering Society, by obtaining consent of the faculty to go to Easton with this society for a joint meeting with the Lafayette Miners. A bold step m the direction of relieving the tension belween the student bodies of the college and the university. After graduating he went to West Virginia with the aim of winning his spurs in an area other than that in which he had won Mr. Lathrop's support. He became Chief Engineer of the Pocahontas collieries but returned to the Anthracite field after a serious explosion in the mine, where the Bituminous dust was a serious hazard. This was before Tom Fear had developed and patented his scheme for neutralizing die coal dust hazard by applying rock dust. He was for some years in the service of Ihe Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company at Pottsville. Bill had some thrilling experiences while engaged in the attempt (finally success­ ful) to extinguish the fire that had been so destructive and dangerous in the anthracite coal veins for many years. He had trouble with water too and at one time was trapped in a mine for four days when high water in the river flooded the mine in which he was working. He saw service in the Alabama coal fields and while working as engineer for the U. S. Steel Corporation had a prominent part in building the town of Jewel Ridge in Virginia. Later, while working as appraiser of mining properties for a group of New York banks, he was advised that the end was in sight, and obtained a contract as Counsel to the Russian Government Coal Trust in Kharkov to survey their mine situation, costs and production methods. This work was terminated by the Russians because of an article Mrs. Grady published in the Saturday Evening Post, and her book entitled Seeing Red: Behind the Scenes in Russia. This displeased Josef Stalin and diey were assisted in returning to America. He did not resume his mining work after his return, but served as magistrate, Town Recorder, and similar work. Due to failing health, plagued by rheumatism and poor eyesight, he is now in the N. J. State Hospital at Trenton, N. J.

AUGUSTINE EDWARD GREENE, M. E. Born — Bristol, Conn., May 22, 1877. Parents, Geo. W. and Mary Daly Greene. Married Susan Brock of Plainfield, Conn. Before entering Lehigh he spent twelve years in the shops of Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Co., Chapman Mfg. Co., and Miller Bro. Cutlery Company. He pre­ pared for college under a private tutor, the L. G. Luhr school. In college he was a member of the Mechanical Engineering Society, President during his Senior Year, and gained lame "as a portrayer of the Irish people." Member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. After graduation, he entered the employ of the New Departure Manufacturing Co. as Mechanical Superintendent and Technical Advisor. His salary of $100.00 per [ 28 ] month, was among the top salaries received by the '06 graduates, due to his years of practical experience. In 1910 he opened an office as Consulting Industrial Engineer in Hartford, Conn. In 1915 he went with the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. as assistant in en­ larging their plant to meet war conditions. September 4, 1917 he was commissioned Major in the Army Ordnance Dept. and was assigned to the Aberdeen Proving Ground as head of its Service Departments. After the war he returned to Hartford and engaged in the manufacture of Knit­ ting machine needles, later of parts for amateur radios. Later he served as General Manager of the Goyer Co., Willimanlic, Conn., and in 1929 became Special Agent for the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. Was holding this position in 1932. Died of heart attack, August 12, 1942 at his home 121 Linden St., Plainville, Conn.

JOHN HENRY CLARK GREGG, C. E. 3301 - 145TH STREET, FLUSHING, LONG ISLAND Born — Glasgow, Scotland. November 25, 1883. Preparatory: Bethlehem Preparatory School. In college: Freshman Oratorical Contest; Second Honor, Sophomore English; Junior Oratorical Contest, First Prize; Tablet Oration Class Day exercises. Sigma Nu Fraternity. Spent five years after graduation wilh New York City Board of Water Supply, on construction of the Catskill Aqueduct. Next seven years on subway construction with some men I had met on the Catskill job. Then four years on the Shandaken Tun­ nel, another link in the same big project. Back to New York on some more subways. The next twenty years continued in the same general pattern with plenty of work mixed with fun and a happy life. One never gets bored in the construction field, as each day brings up new problems. In 1911 I married a school teacher. Elizabeth DePuy—the best thing I ever did. Two children: Daughter, graduated from Wellesley in '37, married. Son, John Clark, Lehigh '40, now with Sidney B. Browne & Son, Mineola, Long Island. Four grandchildren. I am still in harness but some time soon I am going to quit so my wife and I can have some years of leisure together.

WILLIAM HEYWARD GRIMBALL, M. E. 5 COLONIAL STREET, CHARLESTON, So. CAROLINA Born — Charleston, So. Carolina, February 2, 1886. Preparatory: Charleston High School, and College of Charleston. College Activities: Football Squad, Lacrosse Squad, Track Team, Sophomore Field Team. Mandolin and Banjo Clubs. Kimmel Club. Also, University Wits and Mechanical Engineering Society. After a short time at engineering, our hero decided that law was his field. Ac­ cordingly he studied law in the office of Joseph W. Barnwell and was admitted to the bar in 1909. In his own words, "In 1909, I fooled the South Carolina State Bar Ex­ aminer into handing me a fancy-looking commission to practice law. I can only [ 29 ] imagine that the superheated hydrogen-sulphide vapors rising from my examination papers prevented them from reading the answers." His efforts in the political field started him as alderman from Ward 2. He served as solicitor of the Ninth Judical Circuit for 18 months, and corporation council for one term on the unanimous recommendation of the Charleston Delegation. He was elected Judge of the Ninth Circuit without opposition in 1926 and has served con­ tinuously for a term of 32 years (as of the dale of his enforced retirement at age 72, February 2, 1958). Some years back the Charleston Evening Post gave an interesting sketch of the life of a Circuit County Judge in South Carolina, using as its basis an interview with Judge William. The article points out two of the unpleasant phases of a judgs's life —dealing out a death sentence, and finding a place to sleep. In his years as a Circuit Judge, he has slept in every kind of a room from the best the state's hotels have to offer to a converted hospital operating room. The judge is sold on South Carolina's rotating system for judges in the courts. Any possible influence on a judge is eliminated when he sits in different counties constantly. The system certainly provides for better justice. He ranks as one of the state's most popular jurists, and when he retires, he will receive retirement pay and may not practice law. This only partially accounts for his dictum: "When I'm through working it's going to be all play for me." In 1913 he married Panchita F. Heyward. Three children: sons John and Wm. Jr. both Virginia Law School, both practic­ ing law, John in Columbia, S. C, Wm. Jr. in Charleston, S. C, both members of the So. Carolina State Legislature. Daughter Frances, wife of Henry T. Gaud of the Sword Gates House. Ten grandchildren.

ROGER SAMUEL STOCKTON GUERBER, C. E.

173 GREENRTDGE AVENUE, WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK Born — Phoenixville, Pa., August 24, 1885. Preparatory: Moravian Parochial School. He entered Lehigh September 1901 on an Honorary Technical Scholarship, but at the end of his Junior year withdrew for a year of travel and graduated with the Class of 1906. Member of the Chi Phi Fraternity. He spent practically all his career in New York, principally with the Board of Transportation, later the Transit Authority of the City of New York. For the past ten years he has been Division Engineer, in charge of contract Adjustments, Claims and Complaints. Retired May 31, 1956.

CLAUDE BENNEVILLE HAGY, C. E. Born in Reading, Pa., Sept. 28, 1882. Father was Warren A. Hagy. Entered in 1901 from Reading High School. Due to illness in 1904 he graduated with 1906. In college he was a member of Civil Engineering Society, the Press Club, As­ sociate Editor-in-chief—The Bent, and Recording Secretary, Tau Beta Pi. [ 30 ] He taught Science in the Central High School of Philadelphia for 26 years, and was head of the Civil Engineering Department of Drexel Evening School. He died suddenly in his office at Central High School on April 26, 1932. Survived by his widow and one son, Richard.

WILLIAM SEIBERT HAMMAKER 2316 MIDLAND ROAD, BELLEVUE PARK, HARRISDURG, PA. It seems that due to my athletic activities and natural dumbness it was necessary for me to take summer school in Calculus. This was a grave undertaking as my eyes had not been used for close application in book work for so long that they went back on me which made it impossible to enter the Fall semester. Not being a general practice at that time to obtain "work" or food orders from the Government, I ac­ cepted a job with the Pennsylvania Steel Co. at Steelton. This job was in the Bridge and Construction Department drafting room which proved too much for the same eyes that I tried to use for studying. After considerable trouble and expense getting the eyes fixed up, I was able to get a position with the Pennsylvania Department of Highways in Surveying and Construction work. The Highway Department endured me in the above line of work until the sum­ mer of 1914, at which time I thought a better opportunity presented itself in the form of oil field engineering work at Tuxpam, Mexico, which work was very interest­ ing but short lived on account of the start of World War I. Being on a leave of ab­ sence from the Pennsylvania Department of Highways, I was able to return at once to my old position which stayed with me until 1923. April 1, 1923 I resigned from the Highway Department to go into business for myself, as I was fortunate enough to get the privilege of handling Ugite Road Tars, which work utilized experience gained in my road engineering activities. I handled the sale of this material in seven (7) Counties adjacent to Harrisburg, Penna., as well as operating a mixing plant for manufacturing a material for patching streets and roadways. In October, 1906 I approached the Altar of Matrimony with Elizabeth M. Mikle of Harrisburg, Penna. Elizabeth has continued all these years to be my First Wife {another 50-year reunion). We, unfortunately, lost our only son in 1930 through an accident, so I am unable to report any children, or grandchildren, attending Lehigh. However, my nephew, Raymond L. McCann, upheld the honor of the family by graduating from Lehigh in the Class of 1917. I am a member of the National and State Society of Registered Professional Engineers of Pennsylvania, member of our Central Pennsylvania Engineering Society, Harrisburg Lodge 629, Harrisburg Consistory, Zembo Shrine, Sons of American Revolution and the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. My recreation consisted of cruising the Caribbean Sea, taking moving pictures and playing trap drums in orchestras on ships and in the various night clubs at ports of call, of course, where the orchestras were not too good or too particular. My join­ ing the ship's orchestras increased Ocean Travel considerably. After having had an accident—in the later part of 1950—I decided to partially retire. I sold the oiling part of the road building business and retained the mixing plant until April 1, 1955, at which time, I leased the plant and I am now enjoying full retirement. However I still come to the office every day. I have been able to keep out of jail, and in a way convince the selling industry that I pay my bills within a reasonable length of time which all leads up to the thought Longfellow had in mind, but did not write in these words: Wives and Relatives all remind us That we must make our little pile And departing, leave behind us Cash for them to live in style. The fellers at Sigma Chi House call me "UNK" [ 31 ] EDWIN PAUL HAYES, M. E.

RODIN'S NEST, SOUTHPORT, NORTH CAROLINA Born on a cotton plantation, Eufaula, Alabama, May 15, 1884. Earliest and ralher painful recollections are of having to wear shoes and a velvet suit with starched white collar all day Sundays. At age of five got caught on an engine shaft and whirled around several minutes; dizzy ever since. At seven was sent to Washington, D. C. in charge of an aunt. Entered Western High School and secured a free scholarship to Lehigh. After graduating returned to the farm for four years, came near being sawed in two by a home made mill, was caught in a belt that slipped its pully, climbed a rope out of a well a split second before it caved in. Could write pages on an unrest- ful life there. Secured a job with "Pop" Greene at New Departure Mfg. Co., Bristol, Conn. Lasted a year, followed by a few months as superintendent of a small acetylene gas tank factory at Canton, Mass. Then a year as superintendent of the Witherbee Igniter Co., Springfield, Mass. I got the better of the Chief Engineer in an argument and was immediately fired, proving to me that often it does not pay to be right. In the summer of 1912, I secured a minor job with Gilbert & Barker, Springfield, Mass., a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. In six years rose to assis­ tant chief engineer then entered the U. S. Ordnance Dept. at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., as civilian mechanical engineer. Here I was again associated with "Pop" Greene, who left several months before I did. In the fall of 1919, he and his associates in a metal manufacturing concern in Hartford, Conn., invited me to take a financial in­ terest and work with them. The business grew and we moved to Willimantic, Conn., to get larger quarters. By 1926, I could see no future in that business and sold out, returning to the Standard Oil Co. as industrial sales engineer in Greensboro, N. C. After four years, I was made manager of die Soulh Carolina Branch and moved to Columbia. Four years in that red hot state was plenty and my request for my old job was granted, resulting in my settling in Winston-Salem, N. C. I remained at Winston-Salem until die rule of compulsory retirement at age 65 caught up with me and they turned me out to pasture early in 1949. A year earlier "Jeff" and I had picked an old house on a bluff facing the lower Cape Fear River, and by the expenditure of my time and energy, most of my spare cash, and a lot of help from Jeff, made it quite comfortable and attractive. Hurricane Hazel, October 1954., wiped out my dock, boat house and store-house along with die boat and accessories. A severe heart condition continuing even to date, has prevented my rebuilding. In August 1908, I returned to Bethlehem and married Madeleine Krieger, who died in 1955. Children: Paul, B. S. in M. E., Univ. N. C. '34, Sales and Engineering Coal Co., Augusta Georgia. Madeleine, Salem College, '42, wife of Dr. Randolph Scott Gardner, Professor of Mathematics, N. Y. College for Teachers, Albany, N. Y.

W. HOMER HENDRICKS, EL. MET.

CASA DE MANANA, LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA Born — April 22, 1878, at Hummelstown, Dauphin County, Pa. Graduated from the public school in 1895. Went to Cumberland Valley State Normal School — C V S N S — for two years, graduated 1897. [ 32 ] Went to Westmoreland Co., Pa. and taught for two years, principal of the West­ moreland City High School during the second year. Left here and spent two years in Harrisburg, Pa. cost accounting with John C. Herman & Co., a prominent cigar manufacturer and wholesale tobacconist. While at Harrisburg I tutored for Lehigh exams and entered with 1905. Went back to Hummelstown at the end of the Junior year and picked up a very violent typhoid germ, which caused me to drop out of 1905. Dr. Joseph W. Richards, head of the Metallurgy Department, allowed me to come back at Thanksgiving time as Assistant Instructor in Mineralogy, etc. I kept this position for two years during the second of which I took my Senior courses in Metallurgy, graduating in June, 1906. Extra Curricular activities: Literary: 1905 Epitome, 1906 Senior Class Book. Musical: Glee Club, Mandolin Club, Minstrel Show, College Orchestra Director. Athletic: Class Football Team, Lacrosse sub., Faculty Baseball Team. General: Supply Bureau, Class Secretary Freshman year, Metallurgical Society president; Kimmel Club, Tennis Club, Tau Beta Pi. Sigma Nu Fraternity. After graduating I went to Palmerton, Pa., with the New Jersey Zinc Co. of Pa. Here I was given the title of Ass't. Superintendent of the Lithopone and Sulphuric Acid Departments, and in 1908 I was advanced to Superintendent. In 1916 I was transfered to their New York office as General Sales Engineer, slated to build up this section of the General Sales Department. In 1925, after an almost complete physi­ cal collapse, I was relieved of my Sales Department position and made Assistant to the President, where I stayed until I was retired in 1946. In the fall of 1907, I married Anna Lindsay Reeves of California, Pa. We had three girls, all of whom left us during their infancy. After searching for nearly two years for a comfortable place to live we left Bronxville and moved to La Jolla where we expect to be from now on. At some time since 1906 I have been a member of the Chemist's Club of New York, American Institute of Mining Engineers, American Society for Testing Mate­ rials, West Chester Hills Golf Club, and Windbeam Club. At present my exercise is confined to photography (B. & W.)—T V programs and an occasional game of shuffleboard. Very occasionally I go on a fishing trip— High Sierra, or Pacific Ocean. Our home here at Casa de Manana is right on the shore, in sight of some of the best fishing in California and a very popular bathing beach.

FRANK ANDERSON HENRY, Ch. E.

THE LAURELS, NUTLEY, SUSSEX, ENGLAND Born — Garden City, N. Y., December 10, 1883. Son of Attorney and Mrs. James Buchanan Henry. Preparatory: St. Austin's School, Staten Island. Campus Activities: Sophomore Composition Prize; Sophomore Cotillion Club, Burr Board, Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Societies. Kappa Alpha Fraternity. After graduating as Lehigh's first Chemical Engineer, I spent six years in chemi­ cal pursuits with General Chemical Company at Laurel Hill, Long Island, and E. I. DuPont deNemours Company at Wilmington, Delware. In 1912 I passed the examinations for the Consular Service, and starting with Consul at Guadeloupe, had service at these stations over the next thirty-four years: [ 33 ] Dominican Republic; Venezuela; Canary Islands; Barcelona, Spain; Valparaiso, Chile; Bahamas; Malta; Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Prehaps the happiest days of my service career were those in Spain and Chile, but the four years at Malta 1938-1942 were certainly the most eventful. We experi­ enced more than three thousand air raids with many bombs falling too close for com­ fort. During the last weeks we were for a time without water, gas, electricity or telephone, all nights spent in the shelter, an old cislern under the house. We left for Cairo in the midst of an air raid one June night in 1942 and had three weeks of re­ laxation. With Rommel's forces nearing the city a hasty flight to Khartoun came next and after three and a half years of comparative peace in South Africa, the Chapter was finished. A postscript was added later in the shape of the State Department's Award of the Medal of Freedom for risking his life beyond the call of duty as a department employee during World War II. This now reposes "among my souvenirs." In 1921 while on the Canary Islands I married an English girl and we have one daughter Pamela Joan. For ten years we have been living quietly in this Sussex Village forty miles from London, in pleasant and comfortable surroundings.

PAUL HENRY HERMAN, El. Met.

109 RALEIGH DRIVE, VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA In my early years, I was a close companion of my brother. Although he was 2% years my senior, I was slightly taller and heavier and was thrown with him in his associations and schooling. As a result, I graduated from St. John's College, Annapolis with him at a few months over 17 years of age. At graduation my brother received a Commission in the Regular Army and I was on my own. Being technically inclined, and advised that electricity and its po­ tentialities were in its infancy, I decided upon Electrical Engineering, which explains my coming to Lehigh. I entered with the Class of 1904 on the strength of credits for courses completed at St. John's. In the fall of 1904, I became interested in the newly organized course in Electro Metallurgical Engineering, and with some twenty outstanding students of '06, became a member of that class. My extra curricular activities included: four years of Varsity Football, one year as Captain; manager of the Baseball team; Mandolin Club, four years, Leader two years; Arcadia, Triskaideka, Phi Tau Kappa, Mustard & Cheese. Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. After graduation, I spent a year in each of three positions: with New Jersey Zinc Co., Franklin Furnace, N. J.;Maryland Steel Co., Sparrows Point, Maryland; with a consulting engineer in Baltimore doing chemical analyses of coal and oil. In the spring of 1909, my brother at home on leave of absence, called my at­ tention to a new Arm of Service in the Army, the Coast Artillery Corps, in need of technical graduates. He persuaded me to take the examinations, and with a rating of No. 10 in eighty qualified candidates, I accepted a commission as Second Lieu­ tenant, dated April 26, 1909. June 29, 1911, I married Helen Crocker from Portland, Maine. Daughters: Pauline L., Goucher College. Elizabeth L., William and Mary College. Five grandchildren. [ 34 ] The 35 Year Reunion

[ 35 ] The highlights of my army service were: 1. In Texas in 1911 organizing and train­ ing as Infantry for possible service in Mexico; 2. Among the first 30,000 to Europe for World War I; 3. In Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. My last station was in command of the Harbor Defenses of Chesapeake Bay, invol­ ving the planting of 800 controlled submarine mines, and cooperation with the Navy in the prevention of enemy submarine activity. In June 1944., I was retired, at the age of 61. My retirement had us facing an important decision,—where to settle. Having seen most of the East and West Coasts and knowing New England from its being my wife's home and, by unanimous agreement, too cold, we decided that where we ended up, Virginia Beach, Va., would suit us. We were well situated here, and enjoyed the comforts and convenience. This unfortunately ended with the death of my wife in December 1948. My daughters with their children came to live with me during the time dieir husbands were in Korea. Fortunately these periods were staggered so that both were not with me at the same time, and by the end of 1953 I had become something of a housekeeper in my own right. But the best was still to come. May 1956, I married a most attractive widow, contemporary in age, congenial in social position and friends, an acquaintance of myself and wife for many years. So I am reconciled to the fact that I have reached the last stage of a happy life, in position to enjoy reflections on pleasant relations with a host of good friends.

JESSE EDWARD HUMPHREYS, C. E. Born in Philadelphia, Feb. 11, 1885. His father was Henry H. Humphreys. Entered from Phila. Central Technical High School on an Honorary Technical Scholarship. He was a member of the Wayside Inn Club, the Phila. Central High. Club, President in Senior Year, Tau Beta Pi Honorary Society, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. After graduation, he was engaged in surveying in Mexico, and was drowned in the Jacala River, July 1, 1907.

JOHN RICHARD JAMES, M. E. 251 REYNOLDS STREET, KINCSTON, PA. Born — Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 21, 1885. Prepared: Wilkesbarre High School. Campus activities: Mustard & Cheese, Minstrel Association, University Choir. Wilkesbarre Lehigh Club, Y. M. C. A., Mechanical Engineering Society. The first two years after college were spent with H. L. Gantt, Efficiency Engin­ eer at the plant of Sayles Bleacheries, Saylesville, R. L, on time study and efficiency [ 36 ] survey work. Harry Dent and Charley Underwood of our class were at this plant at the same time, also several men from older classes. Then three years with "Pop" Greene as his Assistant Engineer, with the New Departure Manufacturing Company, Bristol, Conn. Came home in 1911 and entered into partnership with my father in the con­ struction business, specializing in masonry work. Father died in 1927 and I continued the business till 1936, when I retired. October 21, 1919 married Florence Koch of Wilkesbarre, Pa. Son — John E. James II, Kingston, Pa. Daughter — Mary Louise, Kingston, Pa.

FRANK WARE JEFFERSON, M. E. 11 SECOND AVENUE, WARREN, PA. Born — Cecil County, Md., August 13, 1882. After graduation he went with Struthers-Wells Co., Warren, Pa., rising through various positions to Manager of Order and Traffic Departments, retiring in 1950.

EDWARD EVERETT JOHNSTON, C. E. Attorney-at-Law 113 WOODLAWN ROAD, BALTIMORE 10, MD. Born — Toronto, Ontario, Canada, November 28, 1882. Father — Rev. Hugh Johnston, Baltimore, Md. Entered Lehigh as Special, in 1903, from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. In college played on die Varsity Football and Lacrosse teams; member of Triskai- deka. Theta Delta Chi Fraternity. After graduation worked for a time as draftsman on bridge and building work for Milliken Bros., New York City. Soon returned to Baltimore and engaged in Real Estate with an older brother. Graduated from University of Maryland Law School, passed the bar examina­ tions and was admitted to practice during 1912. Continued Law and Real Estate and in 1935 became connected with the State Auditor's office. In 1940, I went with the Arlington Federal Savings & Loan Association, retiring Sept. 30, 1955.

After a year at Swarthmore, came to Lehigh. Extra curricular activities: Sword and Crescent, Triskaideka, Sophomore Co­ tillion, K. B. T., Junior Prom Committee. Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. It was indeed a proud moment when I was able to step out into the world with a Lehigh Degree of Engineer of Mines in my pocket, and an ambition to do battle with the World, but upon making my first contact with a job, paying the then aver­ age of $75.00 a month, which seemed, in those days to be about the going wage of young college graduates, I found myself in the wilds of a Pennsylvania Coal Mining Development, as Chief Engineer. It proved to be a valuable period of training, for I learned many things to help me along in later years. My next move was to join Yellott Hardcastle (Lehigh 1905) in Mexico, where we enjoyed all the romance of that sort of life around the Gold and Silver Mines. Later on we moved to Arizona, still pursuing the same ambition to become rich through some lucky strike or dis­ covery of "Gold in them thar hills". Finally "Hardy" and I decided to return to the east, where the possibilities seemed greater of our really having a practical job, that would provide a good living, so we left our dreams and returned to Pennsylvania. A few more years in Pennsylvania Coal Mines, and I became Assistant to the President of The Davis Coal and Coke Company, with offices in Cumberland, Md. Then I was transferred to Baltimore, and shortly to Pittsburgh as Vice President of Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation there. In 1925 I became associated with Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, and had charge of their Coal Mining and Limestone Quarrying Operations until my retirement in the latter part of 1947. In Pittsburgh I enjoyed many contacts with Lehigh men during my 22 years stay there, some of whom were in various capacities with Jones and Laughlin. Upon retirement Mrs. Kirk and I decided to take up a residence in Wynnewood, Pa. on the Main Line, and convenient from every angle of our requirements to the large Eastern Cities. We spend the winter months in Florida usually, and find retirement a pleasure indeed. I have observed that contentment during one's retirement is largely a state of mind, and some adjustment, of course, and I have sometimes been surprised to see how hard some men of our years and surroundings seem to rebel against the natural sequence of retirement that follows our earlier years of activity. I was married to Miss Ethel A. Murdock of Kingwood, West Virginia in June of 1913. We have no children. My wife and I have had the rare good fortune of attending several Class Re­ unions, the most recent of which was our famous Fiftieth of the past June. It was indeed a pleasure to see and shake hands again with those members of the class who were there, and the recollection of it all leaves the happiest of memories. May we able to have other reunions in the years to come.

PHILIP ADOLPH KOBER

3697 LAKEPOINTE, DETROIT 24, MICHIGAN My early home was in Freedom, Pa., and during my single year at Lehigh I lived at 623 Pawnee Street, South Bethlehem, where four other freshmen were located —Bowen, Broomall, Flory and Lerch. Much to my regret only one of these had his story in our 30-Year Book. I spent a year in industrial work, then drifted into biochemistry, having four connections up to the beginning of the World War I. These were Cornell Medical School, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, Harriman Research Laboratory, Roosevelt Hospital, New York, and the Laboratories of the New York State Depart­ ment of Health at Albany, N. Y. During the World War I became interested in pharmaceutical research, which has been my line ever since, the last twenty years Avith the Sherman Laboratories of Detroit, as Director of Chemical Research, where I am still active. In 1908 I married Mary Agnes Maloney, of Albany, N. Y. whom I lost in 1950. We had three sons and two daughters. Two of the boys died early. The other, Philip James and one daughter, Elizabeth Benkema live in Evanston, Illinois, the other, Martha Kospar, in California. Eight grandchildren. In 1955 I married Mrs. Betty Goolsby, of Detroit. For fifteen years I was a member of the Mission Board of a branch of the Lu­ theran Church, trying to extend Christ's Kingdom in the U. S., and Canada. Also taught Bible Classes for almost fifty years and maintain my interest in ihis line of endeavor.

THOMAS NORMAN LACY, E. E. Born — September 23, 1885, at Lititz, Pa. Parents — Mark and Ella Lacy. He attended schools in Baltimore and Pittsburgh and prepared for Lehigh at Franklin and Marshall Academy, Lancaster. His leaning toward the telephone business may have stemmed from having started as a night operator for an independent telephone in his home town at the age of 16. During his Junior vacation he was employed by the Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsyl­ vania as an installer. Upon graduation he started with the Long Lines Dept. of the A. T. & T. Co. as an equipment man at Philadelphia. He was advanced successively to equipment in­ spector, line inspector and in 1912 Division plant engineer at Atlanta. In 1919 he was made Division Plant Superintendent. [ 39 ] In 1925 he went to Detroit as Division Plant Superintendent of the Michigan Bell Telephone Co.; then Chief Engineer, then Vice President and General Manager and Member of the Board of Directors October 11, 1934. He was elected President January 1, 1946, and relired July 1, 1950 as a result of the company's 65 year age limit. During his presidency, the Michigan Bell Co. carried out a program of expan­ sion, involving the expenditure of $120,000,000. He was a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and the De­ troit Engineering Society and was for several years member and Director of the Detroit Board of Commerce; also a Past President of the Telephone Pioneers of America. In 1951 he was given the Alumni Award of the Lehigh Alumni Association for outstanding work in his professional and community relations. He and his wife had moved to Summit, N. J. in December 1953. He died March 31, 1954 after a brief illness. Survived by his wife, Helen Steen Lacy; a daughter Ruth (Mrs. William H. Decker, Jr.) of Chatham, N. J. and three grandchildren.

HERBERT HOUGHTON LAUER, E. M.

912 WEST HARVARD AVENUE, ORLANDO, FLORIDA I was born in Philadelphia, August 6, 1880. Attended Quaker School, the grade schools, and Central Manual Training School. Entered Lehigh on a scholarship with the class of 1903. In June 1901, I got an appointment as rodman on the Improvement Project of the Philadelphia water supply. The work proved interesting, besides being profitable, and I remained for three years, advancing to the position of Third Assistant Engineer in charge of $700,000 of Conslruction Contracts. Returned to college and graduated with the Class of 1906 as Mining Engineer. (Another early example of the application of the co-operative system of technical education.) Went to Magdalena, Mexico, with Noble Banks, Lehigh '95, Manager of the Black Mountain Mining Co. in gold and silver mining and milling. Later that year, transferred to the Cananea Copper Co., Sonora, Mexico, in assaying and chemi­ cal work. As a result of the panic of 1907, I went to the Sewanee Fuel & Iron Co., Coal- mont, Tenn. After a year, I returned to Mexico, working for the Peregrina Mining Co. with P. G. Spilsbury, Lehigh '05. Because of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, I moved again and landed a position with a subsidiary of the U. S. Steel Corporation in West Virginia, and when the mines closed, transferred to the Blast Furnace Dept. of Illinois Steel Co., South Chicago. I served as Instructor in the Mining Engineering Department, University of Illinois, under H. H. Stoek, Lehigh, '88, head of that department, for two years, then became Estimating Engineer for Midvale Steel Co. at Philadelphia. In October 1916, I became Chief Engineer of the Atlas Portland Cement Co., headquarters at Northampton, Pa., but the area of my responsibility extended from New York to Texas. The largest plant under my charge was the $2,500,000 plant at Waco, Texas. When the Atlas Co. was sold to U. S. Steel, I was made Assistant Chief Engineer of the new company, the Universal Atlas Cement Co. In 1933, the effect of the depression was a relocation of my field, this time to the Green Bag Cement Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., as Superintendent of the Cement Plant and Engineer of the Limestone Mine, Templeton, Pa. In 1936, I went to Puerto Rico as Head Administrative officer of the P. R. Reconstruction Administration in charge of the design and construction of a $1,500,000 cement plant near San Juan. [ 41 ] After two years of frustrating contact with officials whose judgment and ex­ perience were quite out of proportion to their authority, I returned to U. S., doing appraisal work for the North American Cement Co., later the General Mills Co., ao-ain over a wide territory. When this work was completed, I went to the DuPont Co., doing design work on the big Indiana Explosives plant. Another short period with the Philadelphia Water Department was followed by a year with the General Chemical Co. on sulphuric acid plant construction at their Roanoke, Virginia plant. Early in the spring of 1943, a former associate in the Atlas Cement Co., who had been made President of the Glens Falls Cement Co., offered me the position of Plant Manager of that plant. I stayed there until 1949, when I decided it was time to move to a warmer climate and headed for Florida, with a stop-over in Philadelphia for two years on general engineering work for the city. Arriving in Orlando, I passed the required examinations and became Registered Professional Engineer, Land Sur­ veyor and Real Estate Broker. I hold membership in the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical En­ gineers, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Sons of the American Revolution; Masonic affiliations—University Lodge, Philadelphia; Columbia Chap­ ter, St. John's Commandery, Albany, N. Y. Consistory, Bahia Shrine, Orlando, Fla. Winter Park University Club, Orlando Shrine Club, Beta Theta Pi Alumni Associa­ tion of Orlando. In 1909, I married Anna K. Toner of Pittsburgh, Pa., in Mexico City. Three children, John, Marion, and Herbert, Jr. In 1932, married Ada Whipple Townsend, who died in 1935. In 1941, married Kate P. Grant of Petersburg, Va. Two grandchildren. As pastimes, I keep close track of the securities market and enjoy bridge. Also play chess with anyone but George K. Goodwin, Lehigh '03. After losing to him regularly for forty-five years, I won two games several years ago and am taking no chances at dimming this shining 6pot among my memories. We like Orlando very much after thoroughly investigating the rest of the state, and stand ready to furnish any desired information about this part of the state.

HARRY RILEY LEE, EL. MET. 50 ROCKLEDGE ROAD, HARTSDALE, N. Y. I was born in New Brunswick, N. J., July 4, 1882, and reared in the Methodist Church. My Father was William Riley Lee, dyer, bleacher and scourer of textiles. From the public schools of New Brunswick I entered Rutgers Scientific School in 1899. Thence I graduated in 1903, with B. S. in Chemistry, first scientific honor, and a junior year award of Phi Beta Kappa. My visit to the Pan-American Exposi­ tion in 1901 had included a look at the industrial district of Niagara Falls, N. Y., then the electrochemical capital of the world. The glimpse left strong impression that electro­ chemistry, electrometallurgy and chemical engineering connoted industries and pro­ fessions whereby enterprising men were earning well in making products having novel properties and growing markets. In 1903 my Father found that in 1902 Lehigh University had established an unique course leading to the engineering degree of El. Met. A prompt interview with Dr. Joseph W. Richards led to immediate entry to a summer school there and resulting qualification to join the Class of 1906 that autumn.

In 1905 I joined Theta Xi-—a welcome home for the senior year, which brought induction to Tau Beta Pi, work on the Class Book Committee, editorial conduct of [ 42 ] The 40 Year Reunion

[ 43 ] the Lehigh Burr, launching of the Bent of Tau Beta Pi, and the degree of El. Met. The inspiring instruction fixed my interest on the electric furnace—the industry in which I have made the career next described.

1906 -1912 I served successively aS draftsman, hydroelectric power and main­ tenance engineer, and research metallurgist and assistant manager of Virginia Elec­ trolytic Company, Holcomb Rock, Va., manufacturing ferrosilicon and ferrochromium in electric furnaces and sodium and magnesium by electrolysis of fused salts. This period was marked by marriage in 1908 to Maud Kramer, of New Brunswick, N. J. and the births of our three daughters. These later attended variously Wellesley and Lasell Junior College. —Eleanor Lee Backes, wife of a Salesman; Charlotte Walters, Supervisor, New York State Society for Mental Health; Maude Lee Bliss, wife of a factor in Textiles. Three grandchildren. 1913 -1916 Superintendent of the Virginia Works of Electro Metallurgical Com­ pany, Holcomb Rock, Va., producing ferrochromium in the electric furnace. In 1914 was born our last child, Robert Edward Lee, B. S. in Electrical engineering, Lehigh 1938, Engineer of New Applications, Simxnonds Aerocessories, Inc. Three grand­ children. 1917 Resident Engineer of Electro Metallurgical Company in construction of additional hydroelectric power plant at the Kanawha Works, Glen Ferris, W. Va. 1918 Superintendent of the Alabama Works of Electro Metallurgical Company, Anniston, Ala., producing ferrosilicon in electric furnaces. 1919- -1947 Research Metallurgist at the New York Office of Union Carbide and Carbon Research Laboratories, Inc., from which I retired in 1947 at age of 65. Dur­ ing this period three of the four children married, and two of the six grandchildren were born. 1948 -1956 During the period of retirement four further grandchildren have been born, and my wife and I have continued to dwell in Westchester County, N. Y. Except for a year of motor touring in -the U. S. and Canada and three months by rail in Europe, the time has been given to the family, all of whom dwell near by.

PAUL DONALD MARCH, M. E.

410 SOUTH 13TH ST., HARRISBURC, PENNSYLVANIA Bom — Harrisburg, Pa., November 7, 1883. Entered Lehigh from Harrisburg High School. On the campus he was Treasurer of the M. E. Society, and member of the Y. M. C. A. and Starvation Club. His first work after graduation was "efficiency work of the Taylor variety" with the American Thread Company, Holyoke, Massachusetts. The next eight years were spe"nt in various lines of activity with the Standard Ideal Co., Ontario, Canada, the Bell Telephone Co., Harrisburg, Pa., and the Pennsylvania Steel Co., Steelton, Pa. Then ten years in Philadelphia, including some time as civilian inspector in the U. S. Ordnance Dept. Of late years he has been manufacturers' Sales Agent, a work especially to his liking, as giving ample opportunity for "non-profit interests." Those non-profit in­ terests are bringing light and happiness to a host of underprivileged children, not only socially and physically but spiritually. We make this mention of the good work he is doing, in direct violation of his instructions. We quote "I am not inclined to write of the past. The present continues full of new people of all ages, and new work to be done without pay. To be doing Christian work which you know you ought to do has its compensation greater than financial." We honor you, "P. D.," for your unselfish devotion.

RICHARD MANSFIELD MERRIMAN, C. E. Born — Bethlehem, Pa., December 9, 1883. Son of: Prof. Mansfield Merriman, Head of Civil Engineering Dept., Lehigh University. Preparatory: Moravian Parochial School, Bethlehem, Pa. Campus Activities: Sword and Crescent; Sophomore Cotillion Club; Class Track Team; Varsity Lacrosse Team; Civil Engineering Society, Treasurer '05, President '06. Chi Phi Fraternity. [ 46 J (We are indebted to Mrs. Merriman, now teaching in Sierra M,^ TnUWnia for this story of Dick's experiences. Editor) iVladre* Lalltorma'

For several years after graduating from Lehigh he was empl0yed enaineering jobs for the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania Railroads. In 1911 he went to Puerto Rico as engineer of Municipal Work, returning shortly after the beginning of the rirst World War. b e For seven years from 1916 to 1923 most of his work was estimating and bidding heavy engineering construction for MacArthur Brothers of New York His position was that of assistant, and later, chief engineer. Much of this work took him to Vene­ zuela, Paraguay, and Sicily. He also did some construction for the French Rehabilita­ tion Commission. While there he attended the Berlitz School where he learned to speak French rather well. In 1923 he went to Kansas City, Missouri, as chief engineer for Fuller and Mc- Clintock of New York on the design and construction of a new water supply for the city. There were twelve major contracts on this job all under Dick's direct supervis­ ion. While there his first wife died, leaving him with a daughter thirteen years old. A year later he met me and we were married in 1925. We have two sons, one of whom attended the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, and the younger one who did not feel die need of higher education. However, he is doing very well with the Bank of America in Los Angeles. Both of the boys are married, and there are three grandchildren. The daughter, Helena, lives in Ithaca and has three children. Her husband is on die faculty of Cornell University.

To return to Dick's travels—in 1926 we were off to Europe to live in Greece for four years. The job was another water supply, this time for Athens where water had been a scarce commodity since the beginning of history. The Project consisted of a masonry dam, faced with Pentelicon marble quarried from the same mountain from which the marble was taken for the Acropolis and other structures of Ancient Athens. It is one of the most beautiful dams of modern times. The tunnel from the dam to Athens was eleven miles long and the pipe line twelve miles. There were six reser­ voirs. All the materials except the marble and sand had to be imported. Dick's title on this job was General Construction Manager. It was, perhaps, the job he loved best because he enjoyed foreign work and the challenge which it presented. While we were basking in "the glory that was Greece" the stock market crash came. Many Greeks lost heavily and there was much gloom among ihem. We were there for one year after this, returning to the States in 1930. During that fall and winter Dick was in Puerto Rico figuring on a water supply for San Juan. But money was scarce and nothing came of this. In May, Ulen and Com­ pany gave up any attempt to get new work and we were out of a j ob. During the summer of 1931 we took a long automobile trip, spending a month in the Great Smokies and a mondi at Virigina Beach. From there we toured the New England States, then returned to my home in Kansas City. Things had not improved for engineers so Dick thought a trip to California would be in order. We arrived in Los Angeles in October, having visited every dam that had ever been built in the west—at least I think we did. For a year and a half business was bad for civil engineers, but in those days California was a pleasant place to live and time passed all too quickly. In the spring of 1933 the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California took bids on the Val Verde tunnel near Riverside. "Stepper" Gott hired Dick to help figure the job, and Dravo was low bidder. Dick started the work, but was offered the general superin­ tendent job on 34 miles of force account work for the District. He made excellent progress and saved the Los Angeles taxpayers much money, for which he received no appreciation. The Pennsylvania Turnpike was his next important job, and one which he en­ joyed very much. He was chief engineer of the tunnels and they were his pride and joy. Many people wrote him letters praising the beauty of these tunnels. [ 49 ] California was the place Dick liked to live so in 1941, just before the war, we returned there. After that he was employed by Morrison-Knudsen, and later by the California Institute of Technology on the China Lake Pilot Plant at Inyokern. Dick enjoyed life very much. His hobbies were fixing things around the house and playin^ bridge. He was a rugged individualist, a wise counselor, and a true friend. He has been gone just eight years—we still feel that we have lost our guiding star.

LUDWIG G. MEYER

817-819 STATE STREET, ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA Born — Erie Penna., August 1, 1879. Erie grade schools and Central High School. In high school played quarterback on football team and was a fast sprint rider (bicycle) . Worked in my father's wearing apparel establishment four years before entering Lehigh. While in college, I had the leading role in the Mustard & Cheese production, Alabama, and won first prize in the Freshman Oratorical Contest. Psi Upsilon Fraternity. At the end of the Freshman year, I returned to my father's business and for four years, I did everything from janitor to salesman, bookkeeper, advertising man, window trimmer. Finally, the business started to grow and continued, requiring several purchases of adjacent properties to accommodate this expansion. Now we have one of the finest wearing apparel establishments between New York and Chicago. I served in the City Council for three years, and in 1912, under contract with the Red Path musical Bureau, toured the West and far West with Catherine Ridgeway, elocutionist and actress. The constant traveling and singing became worrisome and at the close of the contract, I returned to the business, singing only locally in concerts and operas. I have been President of P. A. Meyer & Sons Inc. since 1922, and am still active. I served one year as Vice-President of the Erie Chamber of Commerce, two years as President, of the Retail Merchants Association of this body. Forty years ago helped organize the University Club, and was recently made life member. In 1913, I enacted the part of Commodore Perry in the centennial celebration of Perry's famous Naval victory on Lake Erie, the vessels having been built in Erie yards.

SAMUEL HENRY SALISBURY, A. C.

133 SUMMIT DRIVE, ROCHESTER 20, N. Y. Born —Seneca Falls, N. Y., July 6, 1883. Prepared at Mynderse Academy. In college: Won the Alumni Prize in Junior year in the Chemical Engineering Course, also First Honors Junior Year in the Analytical Chemistry Dept. Member American Chemical Society. Tau Beta Pi. Kappa Sigma Fraternity. I spent the first year after graduation as assistant in Chemistry at Lehigh, then went to M. I. T. to get my M. S. Because of differences in the chemistry courses at the two institutions, I compromised by specializing in Industrial Chemistry under Walker & Thorpe. [ 57 ] 1908-191X I was with the Merrimac Chemical Co. at North Woburn, Mass., where I operated the first Formic Acid, plant in this country. I then returned to Lehigh as Assistant Professor of Industrial Chemistry, and took my Master's degree in Chemis­ try with the Class of 1915. 1917-1918 Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, in charge of the En­ gineering Station at the Northampton Plant of the Atlas Portland Cement Co. World War I interrupted the five year course in Chemical Engineering, so I went over to Atlas as Assistant to the General Chemist. Spent the next eleven years at the various plants and covered the Southern States and Cuba, doing geological work and prospec- ing for cement materials. Tiring of traveling, I returned to Seneca Falls, N. Y., my home town, in 1929, on retainer in a consulting capacity for Atlas for another year. In 1931, I -went into the State Bank of Seneca Falls, where I remained until 1948 when I was retired under the Bankers Retirement System, at that time being the bank's cashier. After two years of inactivity, I went back into chemistry as research chemist with the Genesee Research Corporation, specializing in Automobile Chemicals. In 1955, Genesee Research was absorbed by Olin-Mathiesen and I am still on the job. In 1934 married Mrs. Marjorie G. Johnson. As a hobby, I operate an antique refinishing and restoration business which will keep me on my toes after my third retirment.

[ 59 ] DAVID NORMAN SHOWALTER, C. E. Born — June 19, 1882 at Flick's Locks, near Pottstown, Pa. Parents — John Bertolette Showalter, (an ironworker for Phoenix Bridge) and Mary Frick Showalter. Father died when I was six months old and my mother and grandmother brought me up on a small place in the country. Graduated — from the Spring City High School in 1899, and worked three years for Phoenix Iron Co. as laborer, shipping clerk, finally draftsman. Inspired by the example of my cousin Dugald C. Jackson, and encouraged by my fondness for mathematics, I tutored in several subjects, passed the Lehigh entrance examinations with one condition, and when this was passed received a postponed tuition scholarship. During my college course I worked each vacation at structural drafting in Philadelphia, Milwaukee and New York. In college my extra curricular activities were very limited. My mother kept house for me, and a number of classmates roomed with us. I was a member of the Chess Club and Tau Beta Pi. My grades were of a nature to win me a place on the pro­ gram at Commencement. After graduation I worked as draftsman for Wellman Seaver Morgan Co., Cleve­ land, on ore unloaders. Then a short stretch on the St. Lawrence Seaway, as assis­ tant to the Superintendent of construction for the Aluminum Co. of America at Massena, and I settled down as designing engineer for the Fargo Engineering Co., Jackson, Michigan, designing and building steam and hydro electric plants in the Middle West. During this period the Engineering News published a paper of mine on the derivation of hydraulic formulas. Also included in this time was a thrilling experience while Acting Superintendent of Construction on a new dam at Elkhart, Indiana, when the rainy season and resulting flood waters threatened to undo all we had accomplished. Following the bankruptcy of this company I served for a time as resident en­ gineer on die reconstruction of the Stony River, W. Va., Dam. In 1916 I bought a wood working mill in West Chester, Pa., and organized a building corporation. After the war boom I dropped both and for a number of years held numerous jobs for short periods. In 1934 work with the National Power Survey in Washington, D. C, led to a position in charge of the Atlanta office of the Federal Power Commission. After five years I returned to Washington, Engineer in charge of power investigations at all Government Dams. Retired in 1952, moved to West Chester where I enjoy myself with my gardens and a workshop. In 1922 I married Mary Elizabeth Strong. Four children— David N., Jr., Insurance in Washington, D. C. Nancy, E., wife of Homer E. Dowdy, Staff writer, Flint Journal, Flint, Michigan. John, Served in World War II and Korea, just finished postoned college course at University of Maryland. William P.,Graduated from Wheaton College and from a Theological course at Temple University. Assistant Pastor, Manoa Presbyterian Church. Four grandchildren.

MARVIN WHITE SINGER, M. E. Born — November 11, 1882, Newport, Pa. Father, George D. Singer, Hardware & Tinsmith. Marvin, while in college in May 1906, was one of the group who tested Lehigh Valley 16 for the Mechanical Engineering Department of Lehigh. That group showed [ 60 ] advance signs of being mechanically minded. He had had previous shop experience at the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at Altoona. Leaving Lehigh, he returned to Altoona with the Pennsylvania as a designer and received national recognition as a steel authority. Later he transferred to the Pullman Company at Chicago, Illinois as Assistant Chief Engineer. He remained with Pullman many years and added to his achieve­ ments by becoming well versed in chemistry. He left Pullman and became President of the Pennsylvania Shafting Company at Royersford, Pa., producing cold drawn steel. This company encountered World War I conditions and liquidated. Marvin's adeptness at steel made him valuable to the Emergency Fleet Corpora­ tion and he served that organization throughout the war. After the war a well earned sojurn to Connecticut followed and he liked that beautiful New England atmosphere and decided to settle in the Connecticut River Town of Windsor. He organized the Associated Industrial Engineers manufacturing oils, greases, soaps, compounds, chemicals, making full use of his specialty, indus­ trial chemistry, in oils and compounds for cold drawing steel and brass shells. In the second World War, he created the Singer Chemical Company and had great success in specializing in oils and compounds manufactured to his formulas. The value of these formulas was proved by the use of his products in Government War Work. Large use was made of his products at Government Arsenals at Philadelphia, Pa., and Springfield, Mass. Also in Bridgeport Brass, Remington Arms, General Electric, and many other localities and manufacturers. Marvin was essentially an individualist of high principles and a great exponent of the American Free Enterprise System. His drive to success was interrupted by failure of his health in 1949 He was closely associated with his devoted sister Harriet, who with him added to the product of high class oils and soaps, a line still carried on by her. Marvin passed to his reward on April 24, 1956. (Our thanks to Harriet, who gave us this account of Marvin's achievements. Ed.)

In 1917 I returned to Palmerton and for two years did research on Iithopone. In the fall of 1919 I was appointed a Research Fellow at Lehigh and after re­ ceiving the M. S. Degree in 1921 was appointed Instructor in Chemistry. The work was largely in organic chemistry, with special attention to problems of the paint and varnish industry. A number of papers on problems in these fields have been pub­ lished in the Chemical Journals. I retired from teaching in 1950 with the rank of Associate Professor of Chemistry and have continued on part time, directing graduate research work, sponsored by the National Lead Company. This work involves oils, fats, waxes in relation to resins and plastics. In 1908 I married Margaret Erwin of Bethlehem, who was called to her eternal home February 1917.

9914 INDIAN LANE, SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND Born — Allentown, Pa., December 19, 1884. Son of Jackson E. and Mary (Foust) Stocker. Preparatory: Boys High School, Reading,Pa. Honorary Technical Scholarship. In college: Second prize, Junior Oratorical Contest; Scrub Baseball and Basket­ ball. Tau Beta Pi. After graduation spent six months in the Panama Canal Zone on Sanitary En­ gineering and Surveying on several construction jobs. As a result of an examination (taken before going to Panama) for Assistant Engineer, Board of Water Supply, New York City, I received an appointment in December, 1906. My decision to accept this appointment was influenced materially by two severe attacks of malaria. I was assigned to the staff of the Senior Designing Engineer on the Catskill Aqueduct Project, doing both design and construction work on the Kensico Dam and accessories. In excavating for the foundation unexpected soil and rock conditions neces­ sitated much deeper excavation than had been anticipated. Later I had charge of sealing and testing the entire foundation. In 1914 I started as Assistant Engineer with the Pennsylvania State Water Supply Commission and as Sanitary Engineer -with the State Health Department. During this 8-year period I had a furlough for a short hitch as First Lieutenant, Sanitary Corps, National Army. In 1922 I took a job on the staff of the Consulting Hydraulic Engineer for the Electric Bond and Share Company. The out-standing features of this work were; the construction of three miles of 14 ft. wood-stave flume, and power plant foundations for the Wallen-paupeck Hydro-elecLric Project at Hawley, Pa.; and later, the Steam Electric Station at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I supervised the design of the powerhouse foundations and feedwater canal. Again interesting conditions requiring special treatment were encountered, and though I was scheduled to make trips to the field, die boss decided Florida trips were too rich for an Assistant Engineer, and handled the travel assignments himself. In 1929 money became tight, construction practically ceased and I was advised to look for another job. I soon landed with the Project Engineer with the Public Works Engineering Corporation, New York. After doing reconnaisance and design for a Water Supply System for Charleston, W. Va., and the preliminary work on a Water Supply Pro­ ject for the Chicago-Gary suburban area, the company went into receivership, leaving me jobless. In 1934, after two years of rest, I became Chief of party under the New Jersey State Control survey, a WPA project. Resigned this to enter service with the Federal Government with a Civil Service Appointment. My twenty years in this service em­ braced three stages—nine years with the PWA Housing Division, on slum clearance in all its phases—four with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on closing Fe­ derally owned War plants—seven in Strategic Engineering Intelligence work with the Department of Defense. t 65 ] Civil Service Regulations brought about my retirement in 1955. February, 1908, I married Jennifer Trevenning Goddhart. Two sons, both of whom left us, one in infancy, the other at age 20. in my travels I have been associated with a number of churches; served on the Boards 0f the First Methodist Episcopal church of Plainfield, N. J., also as Financial Secretary. I Was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers but resigned in 1938. 1 am a 25-year member of Anchor Lodge No. 14 A. F. & A. M., Plainfield, N.

Engineering; Gymnastic Team '03, '04, '05, Manager '06; Epitome and Senior Class Book Committees; Electrical Engineering Society, Pres. '06; Tau Beta Pi; Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. I spent the Junior Vacation in a Dial Telephone Plant in New Bedford, Mass., one of the pioneers in this phase of telephony. The Superintendent of this company urged me to cast my lot with him after graduating, holding out the inducement that I might aspire to a position with the company later drat would pay as high as $125 per month. I chose instead the Westinghouse Apprentice Course, influenced no doubt, by the fact that Bishop, Broomall, and Maurer of our Electrical group chose that course. In July, 1909, I moved to Illinois, to the Kewanee Plant of the National Tube Company, serving successively as Draftsman, Estimator, and Mechanical Engineer. In 1917, the Walworth Company purchased this plant and retained practically the entire personnel. I remained as Mechanical Engineer, later Works Engineer, for nearly nine years. April, 1926, I moved to my present location with Stanley G. Flagg & Co., Manu­ facturers of Pipe Fittings and Specialties in Grey Iron, Malleable Iron and Brass, as Works Engineer and Chief Engineer. Notable achievements during this period were the installation of a conveyor molding system in the Malleable Foundry, and later the design of special equipment for finishing products. The design of products has also been part of my responsibility. June 8, 1909, married Ida M. Varner, of Alexandria, Pa. Three children, S. William, now Assistant Manager of Construction and Maintenance, Jonos & Laugh­ lin Steel Corp. Pittsburgh Pa.; Isabelle, Assistant Librarian, Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, N.

In 1940 I lost my wife and after six years of lonely living married Mary E. Zarger, of Greencastle, Pa. In ICewanee I saw service as Elder and S. S. Supt. of the Presbyterian Church, Pres. of the Y. M. C. A. and Secretary of the Kewanee Public Hospital Board of Directors. In Pottstown I have also served as Presbyterian Elder and S. S. Supt. and Y. M. C. A. Director, now Director of the Pottstown Savings and Loan Association. Am a Rotarian, Past President, and Life Member A. S. M. E. To borrow Judge Billy Grimball's expression, I had right smart to say about the Thirty Year Book we pre­ pared in 1936, as well as the volume you are now reading. Retired April 1957, with the intention of adopting a hobby that has been of in­ terest for some years—the investigation of some family trees. [ 66 ] SAMUEL STRAUSS, A. C.

Then with the Autocar Company, Ardmore, Pa., as Apprentice in Engine Test Shop, at 10 cents per hour; later foreman of Engine Test, also road testing of early cars, (with Louis Chevrolet himself!) After a reorganization of this company I "accepted a position" with J. R. John­ son and Company Inc. in Richmond, Virginia, "at $2.00 per 12 hour day." Climbed easily to $4.00 per day, and eventually, through persistence, sweat, and the operation of the Grim Reaper, became President of the company; a small manufacturing enterprise, (about 100 men), in a tightly technical corner of the steel industry. We make "heavy open-die forgings" from all kinds of steel, heat treated and machined to specifications, mostly cylindrical shapes, in sizes ranging from 20 lbs. to 3 tons each. On subcontract we made Artillery Barrels during World War II. In the early days with this company I married Florence Prince, a very foolish but very real girl.

21 CLAY STUEET, MALONE, NEW YORK Born — White Haven, Pa., August 25, 1882. Father, Edward J. Tattershall, Merchant at White Haven, Pa. Mother, Fanny (Russell) Tattershall. I prepared for college at Highland Military Academy at Worcester, Massachu­ setts. My undergraduate years were rather uneventful but I did receive my 1905 nu­ merals for playing in the Founders' Day football game. My class year, as shown, may seem strange but it can be explained by the fact that part of my freshman year was repeated with the class of 1906. My affiliation with the 1906 class was not sincere for a time as I and Roswell McMullen, from our between class resting, had considerable to do with spoiling the Freshman picture of the '06 class at the Chapel steps. Upon graduation I entered the employ of the New York Central Railroad and remained with this company during my entire working life. The first position was in the Pennsylvania Division Maintenance of Way engi­ neering office at Jersey Shore, Pa. A year was spent at Jersey Shore when a change was made to the River Division office at Weehawken. New Jersey. After a year at Weehawken, I was transferred to the Bridge and Building De­ partment. I remained on the River Division until 1912 when I was promoted to the position of Supervisor of Bridges and Buildings on the Adirondack Division at Malone, New York. I stayed at Malone until 1925. Further moves were to the Maintenance of Way Department, Watertown for four years as Division Engineer, the Electric Division at New York as Supervisor of Structures, and finally for die last seven years in charge of the Maintenance of Way equipment from the New York Central Lexington Avenue office. Since my retirement on August 31st, 1950 I have been active in the Malone Ki- wanis Club and have served as a treasurer for two years I am a Mason and a member of the Episcopal Church at Malone and help as the treasurer for the church. There is always enough to do to keep a retired man busy. I married Sarah A. Sawyer at Malone on June 12, 1917 and have a daughter Elizabeth and son Edward S., Class of 1943 at Lehigh. I also have a grandson, Thomas H. Niewenhous now nine years old. I attended the 50th year reunion at Bethlehem and am enthusiastically looking forward to future get together occasions.

Daniel Huston, Commanding 6th Infantry. As would be expected of an Army officer's son, my early life was spent at vari­ ous army posts, widely scattered throughout Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. Had one year at Woodward High School, Cincinnati, Ohio; two years at Springfield High School, Springfield, Massachusetts; one year at Cedarcroft School, Summit, New Jersey. Spent one and one half years at Lehigh. (Ed. note: Phil's activities in college included Mustard and Cheese, Class Presi­ dent in our Freshman year and the Football Team; there he was an outstanding figure for two seasons. He was a member of the Phi Club and of the Sigma Phi Fraternity.) After I returned to Montana I spent some time finding my niche and finally found myself holding a commission as Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps. The process of finding my niche included a term at the University of Montana in the Civil Engineering Course, several months at cow punching up the Bitter Root River, and using some influence 'through the Senator from Montana who was close to President Theodore Roosevelt. I learned too some years later that my mark in "Adaptability for the Service" had been boosted materially since the President of the Examining Board had seen us give Georgetown a sock in the nose a few years earlier, and liked it. Late in 1905, I reported for duty at the Marine School of Application at Anna­ polis, Maryland, and in 1906 the revolution in Cuba gave us field training for sev­ eral years. The next ten years followed a more or less routine pattern, including service as instructor at various training camps, several expeditions to Cuba and Mexico, and in February 1918 I was sent on a mission to France with the A. E. F. to observe and collect data on training methods. I organized and commanded the Field Training Depot, Marine Barracks, Quan- tico, Virginia where at the time of the Armistice, our staff of three hundred was sending approximately one thousand men every ten days for overseas service. The years following brought advancement to Major in 1920, Lieutenant Colonel in 1931, Colonel in 1934 with service in Haiti, Corps Headquarters, Field Officers School, Marine Barracks, Puget Sound Navy Yard and command of the 6th Regiment of Marines at San Diego, California. After a course at Newport, Rhode Island Naval War College, I was made Briga­ dier General, Commandant Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia in 1939. After a year at Quantico I was given command of 'the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade in Cuba, and in 1941 promoted to Major General; and continued in command of First Marine Division at Camp Legeune, N. C. In April 1942 returned to Quantico as Commanding General and Commandant of the Marine Corps Schools. During the course of the war nearly 20,000 young men were commissioned as Second Lieutenants, most of whom had had one to two years duty in the ranks. In 1946 I was placed on the retired list for physical disabilities after nearly 42 years of active service. Made our home in California, first at Coronado then at La Jolla where we shall spend our remaining years. My family consists of my wife, Elizabeth Trescot Torrey, daughter, Elizabeth (who serves as Phil's Chauffeur upon occasion, Ed.) and Rebecca, Mrs. Neil Ross Mac- Intyre. Col. Maclntyre (Univ. Calif. '37) a naval aviator who saw service in World War II and Korea, is stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point, N. Carolina. Our late son Philip H. Jr. Naval Academy '34, Commander, U.

He was Athletic Representative of the Class in the senior year, which brought election also to Arcadia, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Beta Kappa, and the degree of C. E. The class voted him its brightest student—the faculty rated him second to Cort only, in electing him to deliver the Salutatory Address at our Commencement Exercises. In the first graduate year Reenen worked as a junior engineer on the Belle Fourche Dam, in South Dakota, to learn US methods of building earthen dams for irrigation and flood control—public works even then wanted in South Africa. In 1907 he returned home, married Elizabeth Lillian Roos—sister to Tielman Roos, Minister of Justice, later Justice of Appeal Court, and began his career of public service. In 1907-1910 he served the Irrigation Department of the Cape Colony in some type of engineering supervision. In 1910 he became Superintendent of Roads and Public Works for die Orange Free State. Also in 1910 the Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Natal and the Transvaal were merged into the Union of South Africa, which thenceforward until his death in 1935 he served in the following appointments, vari­ ously consecutive or concurrent: Member of the Drought Investigation Commission, the Irrigation Finance Com­ mission, and the Southwest Africa-Anglo Boundary Commission; and Chairman of the Low-Grade Ore Commission, die Permanent Irrigation Commission, the Histori­ cal Monuments Commission and the Industrial Legislation Commission. From 1907 to 1915 his career was predominated by engineering, and from 1915 to 1935 by administrative and legislative work. During this 20 years he dwelt in Pre­ toria, the administrative capital, but spent the annual period of the Parliamentary Session in Cape Town, the legislative capital. During World War I our classmate noted through the Union a revival of the national spirit, dormant since the Boer War but natural to an English-speaking people 70% of which preferred to speak Afrikaans. To replace irritation with pride he de­ cided to put the dialect to literary use, and during the 1920's he wrote six books of serious fiction peopled with Afrikaner characters, all typical and dignified. Through selected diction and spelling he standardized the dialect in written form. As a builder of important public works, pillar of the State under wartime stress, and author in his native tongue, our classmate's engineering accomplishments, in­ fluence on the literature and culture of his people, and legislative gifts to the Union, all reflect great credit on Lehigh University. In 1932, as part of a tour around the world, Reenen and his wife visited Boston. New York, Bethlehem, Pittsburgh and San Francisco. At New York and Pittsburgh they were received by Lehigh groups from 1906 and nearby classes. On October 19, 1935, aged only 51, he died in Pretoria, survived by his wife and three children. Violet Christine—married Ludwig Olen, Senior Lecturer on Electrical Engineer­ ing, Stellenbaach University. Constance Suzanne—married Daniel DeKock, Doctor of Medicine. Albert Johannes, serving Technical Investments, as Legal Advisor. Eight grandchildren. In memory of the tour and the friends then made, Mrs. Van Reenen in 1939 re­ visited New York, Bethlehem and Pittsburgh and renewed the ties with her Lehigh friends. [ 74 ] FRANK ALBERT VOCKRODT, E.

J. RUSSELL WAIT, M. E.

1310 WEST ELEVENTH ST., FREEPORT, TEXAS Born — Phillipsburg, N. J. October 6, 1882. Preparatory — Roselle Public Schools and Pingry Preparatory School, Eliza­ beth, N. J. Having won a Scholarship, he entered Lehigh, September 1901; graduation de­ layed to 1906 by a serious illness caught in the typhoid epidemic in Bethlehem. Collegiate activities — Banjo Club, Mandolin Club, Minstrel Show, Starvation Club, President '06, Baseball Scrub Team '05, Calculus Cremation Committee, Senior Class Book Committee, Mechanical Engineering Society. After graduation, he started in the blast furnace department of Pennsylvania Steel Co., Steelton, Pa., becoming Assistant Superintendent. During this period, he developed a process for beneficiation of low grade iron ores using pyrite cinder. As a result, he entered the employ of Benjamin Nicoll in 1909 to construct and operate a plant, the Charleston Ore Co., to utilize the process. He was quite a few years ahead of the beneficiation of low grade iron ore now being practiced on the Mesabi Range, with the difference that the more modern sys­ tem uses the principal of magnetic separation, instead of heat treatment with waste iron-bearing material. In 1920, with Charleston business men's capital, he organized and operated, as Vice President and General Manager, The Port Terminal Corporation. The company was successful and profitable but liquidated when destructive municipal terminal practices were established in Charleston. After several months as industry investment advisor to a group of capitalists in New York, the city of Charleston engaged him as Port Director. After five years, during which the Port business increased materially, an interest in the Indian Motor­ cycle Company called him to reorganize that Company. Early in 1930, the Port of Beaumont, Texas made overtures to him to devise a port plan and direct the expenditure of a bond issue. While active in this, the Port of Houston engaged him to become Port Director and General Manager of the Naviga­ tion District—Harris County, Texas, which at the time of his retirement in 1947, held the rank of third port in the United States. Upon his resignation, the Citizen News­ paper of Houston paid him this compliment, "We think Wait should remain in public life where his real interests are. No matter what he does from now on, we want to [ 75 ] salute him for being a hard man with taxpayers money, who has done an excellent job under very difficult conditions.' In 1948 and 1949, he acted as advisor on several ports on the West Coast, East Coast, and Gulf Coast. One of these, the Brazos River Harbor Navigation District retained him to make a survey of the conditions confronting the oldest port in Texas which had long languished. As a result of his report and recommendation a bond issue of $2.5 million was voted, for an inland harbor, dock and transit shed; after two years operation additional facilities are needed, and have been provided for in the planning of the existing facilities. As this report is written, the second terminal, to cost $1,500,000, is designed and bids will be opened in May—to be financed by Revenue Bond issue supported by local heavy industry. In 1909, Russ married Katharyn Idella Rutherford of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They have five children: J. Russ, Junior, graduate of Clemson, 1933 and now Chief Engineer for Houston Pipe Line Company. Katharyn, who is Mrs. William Ehlers. He is associated with Houston Light­ ing & Power Company. Harold V.—Lehigh, 1934, who has been with Humble Oil and Refining Com­ pany continuously and is now in New Orleans identified with offshore oil exploration. Jennie Elizabeth, married to Joe W. McSpadden an oil development man located in Midland, Texas. The youngest daughter, Parthenia Nell, is married to Jim V. McGoodwin and lives in San Antonio, Texas. He is in the industrial development and finance field. Russ has several interests as hobbies. In 1955, he won the cup at Lehigh for his collection of bound volumes of National Geographic Society Magazines—bound in subjects. His real hobby is a collection of some 20,000 pictures, classified and indexed in 74 volumes. Samples of which have enlivened the Bulletin Column for years. He was a Mason, Shriner, Rotarian, and many other organizations member, but decided to avoid any pressure from any group and demitted from all. He was 1928 President of Charleston Rotary Club and used the Rotary code of ethics in an effort, with others, to insist on a code for the American Association of Port Authorities of which he is a past president. He was many years President of the South Atlantic Terminal Operators; was many years president of Texas Port Association; was one year president of Gulf Ports Association. In 1955, he received the Special Award of the Lehigh Alumni Association "for personal achievement and service to the University which brought lasting credit to themselves and their Alma Mater".

Then he went with the Portland Cement Co. in engineering work. Later trans­ ferred to Sales Dept., at the Philadelphia office. The first week end of August 1915, he went with some friends to their cottage in Wildwood, N. J. and all went bathing. A little girl of the party was caught in the undertow and carried out to sea. John went to her rescue, and succeeded in bringing her to shore, but overcome by the exertion he collapsed on the beach and died before help could be secured. He was survived by four sisters. They were returning from a vacation tour to the Pacific coast and on arriving in Harrisburg, purchased a newspaper. They were shocked to see on the front page the announcement of their brother's herioc sacrifice.
