FRESHMAN CLASS HEARS DEAN ROWE v ONE OF GUIDANCE SERIES Many Engineers Attend As Dean Of School Advises On Engineering As Profession Walter E. Rowc, dean of the school of engineering, addressed the freshmen class on engineering as a profession during the chapel cxerciscs last Wednesday morning. The entire senior civil engineering class and most of the juniors were present at the chapel in a body. The dean was given a handsome ovation by these embryo engineers when he mounted the platform to make his speech. In return for this compliment he cracked several jokes at their expense. After the chapel exercises were over Dean Rowe was safely conducted back to Sloan College by his students, still loyal to the cause. The address made by Professor Rowe was one of a scries of vocational guidance talks which are being sponsored by the University Y. M. C. A. and the Columbia Kiwanis club. It was entertaining and very interesting. "In entering an engineering field in order to be assured of a reasonable degree of success you must be alert, in possession of all of your faculties both physically and mentally and must be willing to undergo rigorous training at the university and be prepared to live a strenuous life as long as you live," said Dean Rowc in the course of his talk.
