The first regular meeting of the
American Institute of Electrical En
gineers was held in Prof. Bolton’s
section room promptly at 7:30.
Messrs. Cannon and Beach of the
E. E. Department gave two very in
teresting talks.
Mr. Cannon gave an interesting lec
ture on “Direct Curent Winding and
Testing.” He showed the various
kinds of coils and how they were put
on the armatures. He next demon
strated the method for testing these
armatures for open circuit, grounds,
or short circuits.
Mr. Beach showed in a very inter
esting manner the advantages of the
new turbine testing laboratories of the
General Electric Company at West
Lynn. He gave his hearers an idea
of the greatly increased efficiency of
the plant under the new system.
The society wishes that as man'’
men as possible will come out to the
meetings. Some good will accrue to
all attending, even tho a few of
the talks be a little deep. It is im
possible to make all speeches satisfy
everyone’s whims.

Y. M. C. A. MEETING.
The Y. M. C. A. meetings this fall
have been unusually interesting and
helpful. Strong speakers have been
on the program and the good fellow
ship has been enjoyed. As soon as
the building is occupied the meetings
will be held in the lobby or chapel
where it will be more suitable and
comfortable. Prof. R. O. Allen of
Allen Academy was the speaker Sun
day night. It is a happy event when
we have among us a man who is able
to make himself a part of a student
movement which is doing so much
for college men. Prof. Allen spoke on
“A College Man’s Contribution to So
ciety.” In his happy way of holding
attention he impressed the men with
their obligation to society at hand,
first in the family and then to the en
vironment in which they live. In
many kind words he invited the col
lege assdciaton to carry out a pro
gram at Allen Academy n the near fu
