SPOKANE ENGINEER
DELIVERED ADDRESS
j. c. RaIstOn Gave Instructive Address
at University Yesterday Before Stu
dents of Engineering College

Mr.. ]. c. Ralston, prominent con-
sulting engineer of Spokane, made an
inspiring address to the faculty and
students of the engineering college of
Idaho University on Friday, in the aud
itorium Of the administration building,
on "Parallelograms Of Engineering
Culture He began by emphasizing
the necessity. for engineers taking a
more important part in planning and
managing improvements Of large pub
lie consequence His more formal ad-
dress was the wise insistence of the
practical man upon those fundament-
ais of engineering education which he
had learned by long experience to be
essential to success. His address was
filled with good counsel, trenchantly
expressed, as when he insisted that
every engineering student should have
some native or acquired facility and
felicity of English expression" His
own address was a notable illustra
ton of the presence of this quality.
The college was most Fortunate in
having Mr.. Ralston inaugurate its
series of talks from practicing engi-
neers.

Games Attract Much Attention Of
Gridiron Fans

Yale stacks up against Virginia at
New Haven. Little Rutgers travels to
Princeton, and Syracuse and Buck

has an expected easy game scheduled
with Lebanon Valley, and Pennsylvan-

be that of Purdue and Wabash, who
have been deadly rivals from time i'm
memorial. Minnesota meets North
Dakota, Wisconsin meets Lawrence,
Indiana plays DePauw, Illinois meets
