It is the product of many hours of hard!work on the part of these men. snd in fact, from pipe fitting to brick laying, the plant is a home product and the ability of the men to oon- strnct this still- under the arising dif ficulties is nothing short of the very highest skill snd technique. The rea son for such a project is needless to state, fbr by taking active part in the construction of the still every man is. perfectly familiar With the minutest detail and known exactly the working order thru which the petroleum must go before it finally api>ears as by product*. While the process of build ing the plant covered a long period of* time, the actual construction was re markably short when the many un avoidable delays, are taken into con- skftersgien; however, the work was - THE BATTALIO completed and everything was made ready for the big evenC -that event I which was to be written down in -the i annals of College history—that event which was to work saccess or failure upon the part of the senior class of ' Chemical Engieeetfng.
