normal young men i had an itching foot a desire to go places and see things so a short time before george washington opened i secured a scholarship to lehigh and elected to became an engineer four years later he graduated as a mechanical engineer his first job was as a miner with some college friends at ishpeming michigan from there he went to cuba for four years trying to earn sufficient funds to get married but refusing from eugene grace a job which soon afterwards paid more than 40,000 a year he continues i then took^pn a construction job and put in seven years of gruelling labor that put scars on my body and nature that will never come off if a man has to be tempered i was given my heat treatment there he then came back to a lehigh class reunion and met an old le high friend who at a keg party between verses of sweet adeline gave him a job with a company which a year later was sold to the duponts then good fortune start ed coming his way and after the dv pont corporation bought con trol of general motors he worked his way up to become a vice pres ident of the corporation besides holding this position he is an honorary alumni trustee and is heading up the work of the le high

probably have never read the ho ratio alger books but they invar iably develop the theme from of fice boy to president by virtue of industry and obstinacy much sweat of the brow and steady application of the bock muscles my compa triots and i said it was the bunk mr glancy however apologized to those men admitting they were right as far as he was concerned first he hunted for the easy way then he hunted for the hard way and finally for any way out about his first 15 years out of lehigh he says i was like a man lost in a forest describes early career he goes on with the description of his early

the advent of new methods of using and manufacturing elec trical distribution apparatus would tend to increase the serviceability and decrease the cost of transmis sion lines was emphasized by d.k blake in his talk to the combined meeting of the student electrical engineering society and the le high valley section of the american institute of electrical engineers last friday night the meeting opened with a ban quet at 6:30 served by the sun inn at the engineering societies meeting room in packard labora tory the meeting then adjourned to the auditorium to hear mr blake's lecture on primary distri bution systems mr blake a distribution system engineer for the general electric company illustrated hi-s lecture with lantern slides and a special moving picture which demonstrated the advantages of using the new equipment new feature cited the main feature said mr blake is a change in the manner of distributingnhe electricity at load centers or towns in the old system the high voltage line ran to a single large capacity sub-station which lowered the voltage before sending the current out to the load in the new system the high voltage line runs to a number of small distri buting units at different places in a community and thus each unit takes care of only a small section there are two main advantages to the new system the first is that the use of the small units makes it possible to expand the distribut ing capacity of the system in ac cordance with the growth of the demand thus it is no longer neces sary to risk the investment that was formerly necessary in order to erect a large sub-station whose final capacity might not be called for for many years the second advan tage of the small units is the fact that their design makes it possible to standardize them and thus rea lize the savings that come with quantity production of any item mr blake showed pictures of ac tual installations that were work ing in a very satisfactory manner mr blake has made an intensive study of the problem during the past eight years and his contribu tions to the central station indus try on the subject have earned him the charles a coffin foundation award leather is
