G. M. Research Consultant
Tells of Job Opportunities
Industrial, engineering and
research organizations want
young men, T. A. Boyd, General
Motors Research Consultant, told
the members of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers,
student branch, Wednesday
evening.
Mr. Boyd was head of the
fuels d:vision of the GM research
laboratory from 1923 to 1947.
Together with Charles F. Ketter
in? and the late Thomas Mid
glcy, Jr., Mr. Boyd was respon
sible for discovery of the effects
of liquid compounds of lead on
"knock" in engines. Out of their
research came tetraethyl lead
used in Ethyl gasoline.
"IT IS OF the highest import
ance that the foundation laid in
college be just as broad and firm
as possible. That is why your ed
ucation should preferably not be
specialized training for some par
ticular job. Success in life de
mands that your education be
fundamental enough to give you
versatility," he said.
Mr. Boyd pointed out that one
of his collaborators in the de
velopment of Ethyl gasoline, the
Thomas Midglcy, Jr., was trained
as a mechanical engineer. But
Ethyl development was a "chem
ical job."
"AND SO MIDCLKY turned
chemist," Mr. Boyd related. "He
did it so thoroughly that when
he died he was president of the
American Chemical Society."
Invention and research are in
major a young man's game, Boyd
declared. "From the U.S. Patent
Office it has been shown that
the peak of inventiveness comes
at the age of 35, and that most
great inventions have been made
between the ages of 25 and 45."
This is one of the reasons why
we try so hard to keep infusing
new blood into our engineering
and research organizations."
Mr. Boyd also traced the auto
mobile's history, citing examples
of how technical improvements
resulted from hundreds of inten
sive research projects with both
engines and fuels.

Young Democrats
To Hold Charter
Kanqucl Tonight
The Young Democrats of Lan
caster county are having a char
ter banquet Thursday at 6 p.m.
at the Lincoln hotel.
The celebration is for the
awarding of a new charter to re
place the one that was revoked
last January.

ning will be Nelson Kraschel, ex
governer of Iowa. Also speaking

Robert Raun of Minden has

Professor Would
Revise Language
There is one University pro
fessor, Dr. T. M. Pearce, head of
English at the University of New
Mexico, who thinks it should be
perfectly proper to say. "It is
me."
Further streamlining and lib
eralizing our spoken language,
Dr. Pearce would eliminate
"whom," the objective pronoun.
Thus it should be correct to say:
"Who do you want?" Other ex
pressions that have come up
from the common man and not
down from university professors
are "Drive slow," "none are
here" and "I don't care for these
kind of apples."
"English teachers are behind
their time teaching text-book
grammar when they should work
for a standard nearer the com
mon speech of everyday man,"
said the doctor.
"When Winston Churchill said
'it is me' in a speech he deliv
ered in 1945, he was widely
criticized, but what spokesman
is more widely recognized as an
exemplar of speech in the
English speaking world than
Churchill?"
Correction
The story in the Wednesday
edition of The Daily Ncbraskan
headlined "Council Movie Will
Answer D. P. Question" was in
correct in statin? that the
Council will show a movie on
displaced persons Thursday ev
ening in Love Library audi
torium. This happened last
week. The Council is planning
another program this Thursday.

pearance will mark the last ves

pastor for Jewish students on the

dents. He belongs to the Congre
gation Tifereth Israel, the largest
