Filing through the I buildings
which housed the 27th annual en
gineer's open house exposition,
more than 4,000 people, last night
attended the opening event of the
annual open house and field day
1 sponsored each year by the Engi
neering college. v
Based on the spirit of progress,
as represented by the perisphere
and trylon used to advertise the
event, this year's open house, in
the opinion of many closely con
nected with the affair, was the
finest and most interesting ex
hibit of its kind ever staged by
the college.
Seven departments exhibit.
Each of the seven departments
in the en""'ecring college built a
series of hibits showing the
type of wuik done by the student
and graduate engineer. Exhibits
varying from the only working
model of a fractionating tower in
existence to a 30 year old steam
automobile motor were featured
at the exposition.
Feature of the show drawing
the most visitors was the display I
put on by the electrical engineer
ing students. Here the visitor was
tOiown a floating frying pan,
which floats in midair; an elec
tric bubble fountain; a person
ality meter; and a water foun
tain which changes color as the
music of a nearby phonograph
changes.
Miniature iron foundry shown.
Besides the fractionating tower,
chemical engineers featured a dis-
'trlay of a miniature iron foundry
showing the processes which iron
ore goes through from the time
it leaves the mine until it leaves
the factory a finished product.
The thermite demonstration
staged by the chemical engineers
also drew large crowds.
Centering their exhibit on the
theme "A Design for Modern Liv
ing," the architectural engineers
displayed a model of the con
temporary house. Besides the
model home, selected examples of
the work done by the architectural
students during the last year
were featured in the display. A
series of posters illustrating the
development of housing formed
the background for the display of
the architectural engineers.
Demonstrate warfare.
Students belonging to the mili
tary engineer's group constructed
barb wire entanglements and
sandbag breastworks similar to
those used in modern warfare. In
addition they displayed a group of
model bridges of the type used
in warfare.
An electric brooder which cared
for a family of live chickens was
the focal point of interest in the
display put on by the agricultural
engineers. In addition to the
brooder display they featured a
motion picture showing modern
methods of farming.
Feature of the display built by
the civil engineering students were
the two models, built from govern
ment blueprints, of a super high
way grade crossing and a portion
of the Columbus hydroelectric
plant. Another feature of the civil
engineering exhibit was the oper
ation of the materials testing lab
oratory where visitors saw stu
dents testing the tensile strength
or steel.
Moving parts appear still.
The mechanical engineers, run
ning a close second to the elec
trical engineers in popularity, dis
played several exhibits including
the Stromboscope a machine
which makes moving parts of ma
chinery appear to stand still, and
an exhibit of the properties of
liquid air.
More than 700 engineering stu
dents will attend a full day s pro
gram of activities starting with a
special convocation at 11 o'clock
today and ending with the 27th
annual engineer's banquet which
will be held at the Union at 6:30
tonitrht.
Today's convocation, which will
be held in the Union ballroom, will
feature the presentation of a sound
film dealing with the subject of
"Aviation." All engineering classes

Students give technical
demonstrations; show
raw materials, tests
More than 3,000 people jammed
the old pharmacy building last
night as the student body of that
college staged' their 18th annual
open house exhibition, built around
the work accomplished by the
pharmacy student during his four
year course.
Today, the student body of that
college will put away their ex
hibits for another year and relax
at Irvingdale park, where they
will hold their annual picnic which
traditionally follows the open
house exhibition.
Visitors visiting the show last
night saw students preparing
drugs, analyzing the content of
drugs, detecting the presence of
poison in animal tissue, and tak
ing physiological tests.
Visitors test faculties.
Focus point of the show was
centered around the physiological
'xhibits where visitors were al
lowed to take color vision tests,
lung tests, blood tests and heart
tests.
One of the exhibits which at
tracted the most attention was a
demonstration performed by some
of the students dealing with the
preparation of cosmetics. Com
parative preparations were made
showing how little difference
there was between hand lotion anil
shaving cream.
A display of instruments and
prescriptions used by doctors and
druggists of a generation ago con
trasted with a display of modern
instruments also drew a large
crowd of visitors.
The raw materials from which
drugs are extracted were dis
played growing in a model drug
garden. Standardization of drugs
was also demonstrated by the stu
dents. It is due to this standard
ization, required and set up by
law, that drugs at all dispensing
houses are uniform.
Fail to identify common salt.
An unlabeled display of com
mon household materials such as
salt, sugar and iodine attracted a
great deal of attention for vis
itors to the exposition were asked
to guess what the materials were.
After guessing, the visitors were
given a key so that they could
see if they had recognized the
materials.
This noon following the packing
away of all exhibits, students in
the college, will go to Irvingdale
park for their traditional phar
macy picnic. Tnis anernoon me
upperclassmen in the college will
meet a challenge issued last week
by the freshman class that they
would beat any softball team the
upperclassmen could muster.
Noon luncheon will be served at
the park. Almost the entire en
rollment of the college are ex
pected to attend the outing. The
Annual I'harmacy Danquei win De

will be dismissed from 11 o'clock

To play at Muny park.
Following: the convocation, en
gineering students will assemble

their traditional outing which,
every year follows open house.
Some of the features of the an
nual outing are: a professor's bull
session and a baseball game be
tween teams made up from stu
dents in the several departments
of the collere.
Climaxinjr the day's activities,
