man of the Corporation. at a special convocation of the faculty Tuesday afternoon.

First President GraduateDr. Killian, who was graduated

from the Institute in 1926, will be-

gin his administration as presidentdesignate an October 15, and hisformal inauguration as the Insti-

tute's tenth president will be heldin June. Dr. Killian, who is 44years old, will be the first graduateof the institution to have the honorof becoming its president.

In making the announcement ofDr. Kilian's, election, Dr. Comptonsaid:

":By electing Dr. Killian to the

presidency of the Masachusetts In-stitute of Technology, the corpora-tion has fulfilled the first of mytwo greatest ambitions for our in-stitution. This has been to insureits future leadership of the highestpossible caliber well in advance ofmy own retirement. Ever since thebeginnin, of the war Dr. Kilianhas carried a major portion of theduties of the President's COffcewith such constructive imagina-tion, good judgment and adminis-trative skill as to have won the fullconfidence of the corporation, staffand student body, and alumni. Thefrequency with which he has bieensought to advise or collaborate withoutside agencies in education andpublic affairs, and to head otherorganizations, gives ample inde-p-endent'evidenlce of his qualifica-tions.

"Dr. Killian's election at ,,his "tlmeewill permift me to devote time tothe chairmanship of the Researchand Development Board of theNational Military Establishment,and these duties will take me toWashington for a, while. I haveb-een asked 'VV t~ake ths- b -,= r, In- s;Xe intand conditions are such that thereseems to be no proper alternativeto my acceptance. I would notfeel justified in doing so withouthaving first assured the Institute'sfuture administrative leadership."

Acquaintance DanceW7i Attract 800

More than 400 women will crowdMorss Hall this Saturday to danceto Ken Reeves orchestra, from 8:00p.m. until 12:00 m., as the Dormi-tory Committee holds its Fall Ac-quaintance Dance. Tickets are nowon sale in building 10 at $1.20.

Open MIuse has been requestedby the committee, but final actionon this cannot be announced asyet. The committee is hopeful,however.

The girls will come in groupsfrom most of the major colleges inBoston and vicinity, and those whodo not provide or arrange for trans-portation will be aff orded trans-portation by the dance committee.

The dance may be the last op-portunity for M.I.T. Students tomeet Wellesley women, as the lat-ter are seriously considering elim-inating their acquaintance dancethis vear.

IHayden Library;To Be FinishedBY End Of 1949

Steam Pipe BetweenBldg. 2 And WalkerNIust Be Placed SoonTo those of us who can remember

when we used to take a short cutfrom Building 2 to the back door ofWialkers the library project seemsto have come a long way. Notingthe progress ourselves, we wentdown to the project the other day"where we were greeted by TheodoreJordan, the Owner's Representative.Mr. Jordan seemed to be more thanwilling to answer questions for TheTech, so the interview began.

Remlember those big cylindersthat the workers were sinking whenschool ended last June? There were152 of the cylinders, going down toan average depth of twenty-:dve-feet. The cylinders, called caissons,served as forms for the concretecolumns, on which the foundationnow rests. When the caisson workhad been completed on September13, the first big job of the projectwas over.

Must Lay Steam Pipe

Even before the caisson projectw has finished, however, the concretepouring for the basement had al-ready begun, and our new libraryhad begun to shape up. Almost atthe same time, forms were erected,concrete was poured, and the wallsbegan to rise. Our readers mayhave noticed that the workers areconcentrating on the wall next tothe river-that's because of the Isteam pipe that must be laidIIh-t.fwpn '.hp a.pnt~rnl haq.ting nlantI

and Walker Memorial. The pipe wasremoved last April during theexcavating (all the sidewalk engi-neers should remember our 52-tonsteanm shovel) and will have to belaid down again before cold weatherbegins.

According to Mr. Jordan, thebasement and the walls (up tostreet level) should be finished byNovember 1. After that date, thesteel girders will be erected, prob-ably to be completed by January 1.Mir. Jordan estimates that thebuilding will be completed in an-

: other fifteen months.

Wooden Pililgs DrivenOur readers have probably won-

dered what the wooden piles nextto Building 2 are to be used for.This question is easily answered by.merely looking at the blue prints,which show a one-story passage-way between Building 2 and thelibrary. therefore, since little

Compton PrefersU. M[* T. To Draft

Original Plan PosesNo Deferment Problenm

The problem of deferring ordrafting college students who arein fields which might be consideredvital, such as engineering or science,would not have come up if Uni-versai Military Trairnirn, whichwould take everybody, had beenadopted, instead of the presentdraft, which must meet the prob-lem of selecting a few from many,declared President Karl T. Comptonto a reporter from The Tech.

President Compton stated thathe still preferred the U.M.T. to thedraft. , Under this program, he said,an arrangement could be made sothat college and agriculture stu-dents could complete their educa-tion before taking training. Hementioned the wartime systemused in England and Scotland underwhich students in certain fieldswere deferred for a certain period,depending on what tHey werestudying-liberal arts students fortwo years, chemistry students forthree years, electronic students forfour years, etc. Since this was awar-time plan, it may not be feas-ible for a peacetime draft, Dr.Compton said.

Present Deferment PolicyThe present policy is that de-

ferment may be granted to 'per-sons whose employment, or whoseactivity in "study, research, or med-ical, scientific, or other endeavorsis found to be necessary to themaintenance of the national wel-

,fare, safety, or interest." College

This same problem confronted the government during thelast war when it was even more urgent to have each lan doinghis best job for the country and at the same time present asufficiently large force for attack and defense. The success ofthe "Manhattan Project" in shortening the war seems to in-dicate that technical men of skill can be profitably left behindto do their research work. These men along with many othersin different projects were of immeasurable aid to the govern-ment. But most of these men had already proved their worthas scientists and engineers by work done before the war. Itwill not be so easy now to say which students now in theirfreshman or Sophomore year are of such calibre to warrantdeferment, and which will not suffer from enforced absence fortwo years.

.11 OUdlatini etldluosenl~ie of engineering schoois on the otherhand w~ill fail as badly in the other direction by deferring allstudents. The essential work is not done completely by engi-neers but draws men of all fields together. Deferment for oneschool would lead to an unbalanced staff an-d an, endorsementof all schools is unreasonable.

The question of how the government solves +this problemis one vital to all Technoloay men and the answer must bediscovered soon.

the symphony season in Boston. Italso marks the twenty-fifth anni-versary of Dr. Koussevitzky's tenureas director of the orchestra. It hasbeen a twenty-five years of goodsymphonic playings, but above allit has been a period during whichAmerican music emerged andestablished itself free of Europeaninfluences. lit has been a periodduring which Dr. Koussevitzky in-troduced to the public the musicof Aaxon Copland, Walter Pistonand Roy Harris. Also during thisepoch Koussevitzky founded theBerkshire Music Festival and theTanglewood Music Center.

DRAFT ELIGIBILITYThe new draft act carries with it the interesting if rather

vague phrase concerning deferment for individuals who's studyis "necessary to the maintenance of the national welfare, safety,or interest." The question immediately arising is whether ornot the engineers and scientists being trained at the Instituteare deferable en masse or individually. Is the mere fact ofentrance to defer the student or must he be sufficiently ad-vanced or show such promise that he may be exempt fromdraft?
