Continent section OF this association,
a rouslng reception was given Col.
Arthur <. Dwight. president. and also
! eN-President Ludlow, and the
| chances are there was never n more
! imposing array OF talent and young
/ manhood gathered at tho banquet
table in any town anywhere.
! The great surprise TO the visitors
| must have been that Tulsa with
less than 100000 population. could
! support and employ so great "A
number OF engineers, and everyone
carrying with him on his couhtc-
/ nance the light OF intelligence and
! power to do things. It was simply
great.
The music, even. was furnished by
members OF the association and most
surprisingly good IL was. The dinner
| was about the usual average OF Tulsa
| dinners, and was enjoyed immensely.
and everybody was I'm "A humor TO
make the most OF the OCCASION
NJ. NJ. Valerius, Keologist. acted as
I toastmaster. and started the pro-
ceedings Off on n high plane Of
| oratory after which he introduced
Mayor Evans and Frank Greer, and
! the latter certainly ala show the
| young men present that he was
ready for the most unheard-of and
unimaginable inventions, whatever
| they might be, and made them all
wonder what was coming up next.
Judge O'Connor thrilled his audi
ence with some genuine oratory and
/ Alva j. Niles showed hls class by
making n talk that was most happily
| received.
Mr.. Ludlow when he spoke. took
| for his subject "Thc History OF the
! Institute" and compllmented Colo
/ mel Dwight on tho work he has done,
both during the war and since. lie
! reserved most OF his speech for Fri
| days meeting OF the Chamber OF
| Commerce.
Colonel Dwight deprecated being
| called a hero. when. as everybody
knows, he had covered himself with
glory and won promotion on the
| spot when the engineers under him
laid down their Instruments at Cam
| brai and chased the Huns across the
river with guns taken from the dead
mems hands.
Colonel Dwight brought two i'm
! portant messages to members Of this
section--one was the founding OF the
| Lucas memorial medal, and the
| other being the announcement by the
| board OF directors Of the forming OF
the petroleum division Of the
American Institute to take the place
OF the present oil and gas commit
tee. This Will mean a great deal to
| the Mid-Continent section, as all OF
those members interested in oil will
have what might he considered prac-
| tically an Independent organization
| affiliated with the American Insti-
tute as their parent body.
Colonel Dwight emphasized the
/ m "a ~ Il 70 y
as II concerns everyone interested
In the oil business. II will mean
more frequent meetings in this i'm
| mediate territory with many papers
Of engineering interest, and will be
a matter of great Importance to the
! practical oil man. This division
will OF course. be directly under the
supervision of the American instl-
1t ute wi h headquarters in
New York, but all matters pertain
ling 10 the oil business and to petro-
leum engineering and geology will
be handled directly by the division
! Itself.
