sity's technical course policy as set forth in latter part of 1926 urges more liberalization of engineering curricula engineering curricula at lehigh should give a fundamental training in pure and applied science in economics and the humanities for a professional career and the institu tion shall emphasize the importance of the service which an engineer may render to society this statement the basis of le high's engineering education policy as set forth in late 1926 was the subject of a meeting of the faculty educational club held yesterday afternoon in the administration building the meeting took the form of an open discussion says frank chester becker assistant professor of civil engineering secretary of the teach ers group it is felt that the uni versity has strayed from its pub lished purpose in this case he adds liberalization of the engineering college is proposed in order to keep to our ideal no action can be tak en by the educational club but the topic may be brought up in a fac ulty meeting in which event an ac tual change in some curricula might result stuart cites letter milton caleb stuart professor of mechanical engineering pointed out to the members some remarks in a letter written last january by w h carrier of the carrier engineering corporation the letter was in reply to a request from a sophomore here that he be given the essential sub jects for a career in air condition ing what you need to get at col lege and what will be of the great est future benefit to you is a broad engineering knowledge and not a specialized one . . . broad knowledge will in the end carry you much far ther than specialized knowledge wrote mr carrier further than this it is my per sonal experience that a student sel dom follows the line he thinks he wishes to follow when in college and as a result any specialization except as it helps ground him in general principles is usually a waste of time at present professor stuart con tinued it is estimated that 44 per cent of the average engineering stu dent's school time is taken up with completely technical subjects about 50 per cent is non-technical i c languages mathematics physics chemistry business and the re maining 6 per cent is taken up in free electives frank's orchestra to play for dorms dance to be held saturday night in drown hall johnny frank and his orchestra from pottsville will play for

8 was first produced in london in 1929 it immediately became the center of heated discussion many critics maintained that it was not a play at all since it is largely lacking in dramatic incident what the critics failed to perceive was that journey's end is a to tality drama — that is it is a play that doesn't stir the audience in the theatre but which impresses one more as time passes despite the furor in dramatic circles it was hailed by british war veterans as an authentic and force ful portrayal of life at the front through the very heat s>i the con troversy it became a box office hit and scored a decided financial suc cess brought to new york in 1930 with complete british cast and produced by gilbert miller journey's end was not immediately successful this was probably due as much to the cast's british accent as to any thing else with colin keith johnson scor ing a tremendous personal hit in the lead however it was soon neces sary to move to the plymouth thea ter in order to provide larger seat ing capacity once at the plymouth journey's end firmly established itself and began its highly success ful run film rights were sold to one of the major producers which com pany refused to allow the stage play to go on the road had it done so it would probably have been a road success as well as a new york and london hit from a financial standpoint it has been one of the most
