Graduation

Boston. June Pt-The ever in. /
Creasing possibilities for varied serV-
ice In the field of engineering were
pictured today for the graduating
class of the Massachusetts, Institute
Of Technology by John Hays Ham
mond, distinguished engineer, IN his
commencement address.
For the first time in years the
graduating exercises We're held out
side the Cambridge grounds OF the
institute, taking place instead at
symphony hall. President Samuel
w. Stratton led the academic pro
cession and presented the degrees.
Members of the fifty year class
we're honor guests and We're to be
entertained later in the day by the
president.
Mr.. Hammond predicted that the
opportunity Of public life, long con-
fined to the profession of law, will
IN the future be more and more the
engineers.
The engineers training, he said,
"from the inception has been along
scientific lines. He has developed
ability TO think straight and clearly,
~ well as the sense of values Of
proportion which enables him to do
termine the relative importance OF
factors IN the solution of great sci
snsifc problems.
'"The engineer has been taught to
beek the truth irrespective OF con-
sequences and to have the courage
Of his convictions. Sophistry has
no place in engineering, Engineers
are not privileged TO urge extenuat-
ing circumstances TO explain their
failures, but are held strictly rcspon-
sible.

to be sought as result of the federal

ton.
Existence OF a twilight zone" in
regulation whereby utilities distri-
buting their power across state
boundary escape any control by
either a state Or federal authority
has already been developed in testi-
nony.
1t is unlikely that the commission
will make any recommendation TO
congress for stricter regulation of
utilities, but will merely transmit
the record Of the testimony and its
conclusions.
That the utilities themselves are
keenly aware of this twilight zone
between state and federal regulation
was revealed in testimony of Josiah
/ r, Newcomb counsel of the joint
com mittec of National Utilities asso-
! Citations. He said the subject was Of
deepest interest to the utilities ano
