More Thanks' From ^est Point ..

AAM received a joumaiwiic campltaent
this mooUi in thr latest imqc of “The
Pointer ’ bt-fee+kly magazine of th# Uni-
t*d States Military Academy In review
of the Weat l\)int Debating Taam a tra-
vela. AAM waa listed aa "tha frtendlieat
place in the country ” TTie article reported
that Cadcfta Jared Schopper and FYank
WaUon enpecully were impressed with
otir “vigorous handshaking.”
, The article in “The Pointer m the set -
ond thank you” we have received from
the two Army debater* Laat month fol
lowing their visit here, they wrote s let
ter of thar.ks to the Corps of Cadets. In
it they asked us to send s debate team to
the Academy so they could have “another
crack at tha boys and an opportunity to
show them the same kind of hodpitaiity
that we received.”
We are particularly proud that AAM
was singled out in the manner i| which
is was. The Weat Point Team has traveled
throughout the South, debating on many
campuses which, without a doubt, have
some attractions which we can t offer
Never! he leas their reception here was still
the best they had received Regardless
how you look at it, we have both as in
dividuals sod as a group the fiower to
maintain and improve the name of AAM
throughout the country. We re our own
publicity department, and from the looks
of things, we re moving along 'bn all eight

The ‘New in (>raduate Studies
• This year Humble Oil and Refining
Company continues for the fifth consecu
tive season h program which should be of
utLerVst to every collage student and staff
member Called the "Humble I ^ctures in
Stlence," the project is actually a senes
of “on the job graduate studies The com
pany brings to its Baytown refinery tech-
ical ex|»erts from every field to lecture to
its per»<*inel In effect, the senes brings
cotlegn to the man.”
- These technical lectures presented to
Humble employees are not mere refresher
talks They are studies which the
company says are each equal to a semes
ter of university graduate study. The tech
nical employees who take a course are re
lieved of ail plant duties and devote full
time to lectures which usually last about
two weeks There is a written examinahon
at the end of each course
The men who conduct the lectures,
so a Humble publication says are invited
fmnj a group of the most distinguished
educators in America They s}»eak on top
ics which are in a large part, determined
from [lersonnsl demand at the refinery
The original purpose of the Humble
lecture series was to broaden the base and
raise the general level of auentific know
ledge among its Baytown refinery tech-

In twenty set (tods he was sound asleep.
meal |>ersonnel Proof of the value of the
program is dramatic. Almost half of the
refinery's new research projects initiated
during the paft three years have stemmed
from the lectures in science.
Enthusiasm among plant petwonnel
has been significant. They have accepted
the opiKirtumty to study in the eom|>any
of the visiting scientists and they have
beer quick to take advantage of the les
sons to be learned
Such a program as this can well be a
forecast of things to come The problem
of crowding all possible subject* both
technical and liberal, into a four year cur
riculum is becoming increasingly difficult
Dcaduate whool while a valuable and
necessary phase of our educational sys
tem, require* time away from the job
which few technical men in industry can
spare As a result, the Humble publica
tion says, people in industry arc torn be
tween the task at hand and the urgent
need for raising their general level of
scientific knowledge.
This program might well lead the way
toward solution of the growing problem
of providing adequate training and educa
tion for the technician without requiring
him to spend an unreasonable number of
years within college walls.
