Tau Sig ma

Founded jointly at the Universities of Wisconsin and Illinois
in 1916, Pi Tau Sigma is a national honorary mechanical engi-
neering fraternity, dedicated to the fostering and promotion of
high standards among engineers. Mechanical engineers of
junior standing may be elected to the society on the basis of
scholastic ability, character, integrity, and good fellowship.
To stimulate interest among underclassmen in these ideals, the
ideals upon which Pi Tau Sigma is founded, the society offers
each year the F. M. Young Award to the most deserving junior
of the mechanical engineering class. Many of its alumni now
hold prominent positions in industrial empires. The fraternity
also aims to foster a development of these qualities by the

mutual association of its members, and to this end sponsors
several social gatherings as well as business meetings during
the course of the year.
Last fall the Wisconsin Alpha chapter was host to the 1948
National Convention of Pi Tau Sigma. Forty-four chapters
attended the two day convention, represented by some 100
delegates from engineering schools all over the country.
Officers were: Morris H. Thorson, President; Tom Hubbard,
First Vice President; John R. Humphrey, Second Vice Presi-
dent; John D. Debbink, Recording Secretary; Lester M. Maresh,
Corresponding Secretary; Alfred H. Fritz, Treasurer; Gustus
L. Larson, Adviser.
