EVERY FORTNIGHT No. 40 IMPERIAL C O L L E G E 31 OCTOBER 1952 DR COMPTON S CHALLENGE A N E X C E L L E N T S P E E C H BY T H E S P E C I A L VISITOR The Commemoration Celebrations Started with the procession from Prince Consort Road •to the University Examination Halls, and this year once again the weather restrained itself to keen our paint a n d p o w d e r dry. After a regrettable delay in seating the large number of staff, the Hector opened the proceedings by inviting t^e Special Visitor, Dr. Karl Compton, a n d M r s . Compton, to join the platform party. Though it m a y b e doubted whether I.C. have yet mastered the solemnity of their newly created Commemoration, Dr. Compton's - clear and rich voice made his challenging - speech properly the climax of the ceremony. A n a c c o u n t of his address is given below. This was preceeded by the presentation of the newly elected Associates, Diplom- ates, Masters, Doctors, and Honorary Fellows. Dr. Compton and Sir Frederick Handley Page were among those who were presented with their scrolls of Honorary Fellowship of the College. The ceremony was attended by many important guests, including the A m e r i c a n A m b a s s a d o r and the Principal of London University. COMMEMORATION DAY The Student Orator, Brian Walker, reads the Proclamation of Celebration The Hector, Mrs.Compton, Dr.Compton, Viscount Falmouth, and the American Ambassador , The Special Visitor at this year's Commem- oration Day w 6 .s Dr. Karl T. Compton, Chairman of the Corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. lis address was on "The Growth of Higher Technological Education in the Tv.'entieth Century and th Benefits of International links in this Field". After t h a n k i n g t h e Governors for the award of his Honorary Fellowship, Dr. Compton went en to say that, he war, proud of the association between the two great institutions of M.I.T. and Imperial College. Many personal friendships had grown up and there had been a rapid inter- change of new ideas. Dr. Compton enumsr-ated the people from this country, some from this college, who were now working at the Institute, and pointed out, that m u c h o f the inspiration and guidance for the establishment of M.I.T. in 1360, came from Kensington. In discussing the growth of technological education in the 2 0 t h e w f c v r y Dr. Compton had time to consider only one aspect, that revealed by a remark of Sir Richard Southwell that Industrial Structure must determine the structure of engineering education. Since thj beginning of the S O t h C e n t u r y there had been tremendous advances in automobile, aeronautical, chemical and electronic engineering which had been accompanied by corresponding changes in the teaching of engineering and applied science. It must be realised that it is not, sufficient for education to fallow indtisiry, it must alsc anticipate the future requirements by wisely interpreting the trends and foreseeing the needs. This means education for research and development, for COMMEMORATION BALL Most of the FELIX staff who could afford a t i c k e t enjoyed the Ball too thoroughly to record any clear impressions for their less fortunate fellows. Though we were announced in sonorous tones and received by pres- idents, the true ~.C. grain broke through the Park Lane veneer, even to the extent of a Boomaleia at the end. We have a vague recollection of a 21st birthday starting at Midnight, of eminent U.L. Hockey and Rugger gentlemen doing the Latin dmces with gusto, of soft lights, and,softer and brighter, eyes. Ca.rousing went on in the Union in the early hours, while cold water and coffee were i n demand. Altogether a good Commemoration 3all, even i f we do have to go rather quietly for the rest of the year. management of technical enterprises and for co- ordination of various areas of applied science, all this in addition to the more generally recog- nised task of training specialised designers and operators. This poses a, difficult problem ir the organisation of the programmes of the engin- eering schools,which i s . c o n t i n u a l l y w i t h u s as new requirements and opportunities arise. Dr. Compton c ' o n c l u d e d , " b u t one lesson I think stands out from the logic of our experience; our aim s h o u l d b e at the present and the future, not at the past; for in the field of science the future comes q u i c k l y u p o n us". After the address Dr. Compton presented to the c h a i r m a n a n d Rector of T.C. the official greetings of the M.I.T. in the form of a leather - bound manuscript.
