Among these colleges were La fayette, Haverford, Villanova, Swarthmore, Carnegie Institute1 of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, etc. More recent ly Professor McKibben has lec tured at several of the colleges on the Pacific coast, including Leland Stanford, Jr., Univer sity and the University of Southern California, where much interest was shown in the shipbuilding program. While on the Pacific coast he also gave a course of 24 lectures at Throop College of Technology in Pasadena, California, where two lectures each day were given six days in the week for two weeks, this course being entitled "Ship Construction and Ocean Transportation." At a meeting held in Flinn Hall at 1:30 on Monday about 65 Carolina men signed up as being interested in the propo sition.
