fessor in electrical engineering at
Delaware College. had handed in his
resignation to take effect at once and
that 1t had been accepted by the COM

ark from Boston, where he had been
connected with the Westinghouse
Electric Company. No announcement
was made as to where he will go
from Newark or why he resigned

Professor Roberts successor George
A. Koerber. of Pittsfeld. Mass, who
is connected with the General Elec-
trio Company. He is a graduate OF
Lafayette College. where he taught
electrical engineering for four or FIVE
years until last summer. Should Mr.
