News Office (AC0069) From the Office of Public Relations Massachusetts Institute of Technology FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cambridge 39, Massachusetts Telephone: UN 4-6900, ext. 2701-8 The retirement at the end of June of five faculty members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was announced by Dr. Julius A. Stratton, President. Marcy Eager, associate professor of electrical engineering, was both teacher and administrator. A graduate from Harvard Engineering School magna cum laude in 1921, he spent the next two decades in industrial posts, concentrating ultimately on various engineering and economic aspects of radio broadcasts. He joined the staff of the M.I.T. Radar School in 1942 and the Electrical Engineering Department in 1946. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of electronic circuits, for many years he has been involved in the administration of the cooperative course in electrical engineering (a 5-year undergraduate course in which students spend part of their time working in industry). He will remain at the Institute on a part-time basis. Professor Eager lives at 75 Abbott Road, Wellesley Hills. Ernest N. Gelotte, associate professor of architecture, has spent his professional career concentrating on the structural aspects of buildings. A graduate of M.I.T. in 1923, he joined the Civil Engineering Department in 1926 and the Architecture Department in 1930. He has always maintained an effective liaison between these Departments. Through his imaginative appreciation of the relation of structures to architecture he has made an outstanding contribution to the teaching program. He will remain at M.I.T. as Lecturer. Professor Gelotte makes his home at 70 Alton Rd., Quincy. Louis Harris, associate professor of chemistry, has most recently done research on thin metal films, after earlier work concerned with electricity and optics. He earned (more) Use copy created from Institute Archives record copy. © Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Institute Archives & Special Collections. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He joined the Chemistry Department in 1928 and for many Lecturer. years shared in teaching freshman and junior courses. He will return next year as Professor Harris lives at 249 Rutledge Rd., Belmont. Ernest H. Huntress, secretary of the graduate school, has been teacher, researcher and administrator at M.I.T. He graduated from the Institute in 1920 and while wvrking on his doctorate, served on the teaching staff. For many years he was head of both the undergraduate division of organic chemistry and the graduate committee of the Chemistry Department. He is especially noted for his work on the Identification of organic compounds. In recent years he has devoted himself largely to administrative matters. He became Deputy Dean of the Graduate School in 1950, Director of the Summer Session in 1952, and Secretary of the Graduate School in 1953. Professor Huntress lives at 5 Meadowview Rd., Melrose. Parry Moon, associate professor of electrical engineering, is an authority on illuminating engineering including related aspects of vision and color. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, he joined the Electrical Engineering Staff in 1924 and received his Master's degree in 1927. He has done research in electrodynamics and his book "The Scientific Basis of Illumination, " is the recognized standard work on this subject. He will continue with the Department as Lecturer. Professor Moon makes his home at 1 Emerson Place, Boston. - 30 - June 24, 1963 Use copy created from Institute Archives record copy. © Massachusetts Institute of Technology .
