KU Graduates Rank High In Engineering 'Who's Who'
The University of Kansas, with 291 alumni in the 1948 edition of "Who's Who In Engineering," now ranks 13th in the 326 schools with alumni listed.
Dr. Donald B. Prentice, president of Rose Polytechnic institute, Indiana made an independent survey which was published in the May, 1949 issue of Mechanical Engineering. The check shows that the University jumped from 20th place in 1937 to the $1948^{\textcircled{8}}$
position with an increase of 95 names.
Ranking first in the list of schools with alumni in "Who's Who" is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Other schools in descending order are Cornell, Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin, California and Ohio State (tied for seventh and eighth places), Columbia, Yale, Minnesota, Harvard and University of Kansas.
Kansas had a much smaller engineering enrollment than the other high ranking schools until the postwar period, but the added veteran

enrollment will have no effect on the current tabulation for several years as no engineer may be considered for "Who's Who" until he has practiced at least 10 years.

Shanghai Falls To Communists; No Fighting
Shanghai, which the Nationalists owed to defend to the bitter end, ell to the Chinese Communists to lav without a battle.
United Press World News
The Nationalists defenders fled to the North. The Communists walked in against only a sporadic gunfire from stragglers who failed to keep up with the main Nationalist retreat.
A rear guard of sorts still was firing across Soochow creek from the northern district of Shanghai. But the Communists, in full control of the center of the city, seemed in no hurry to cross the creek.
The Nationalists seemed to be making for Woosung, about 10 miles north of Shanghai, where evacuation ships have been waiting in the Yangtze estuary for several days. All escape except by sea has been cut by the Communists.
Up to noon Shanghai time, some 5,000 Communists troops had entered the city. Most lounged about the streets awaiting orders.
Shanghai, fourth largest city in the world, (8-million people) is the biggest prize yet taken by the Chinese Communists.
