Electrical Engineers To Hear Simon Ramo
Dr. Simon Ramo, advanced engineer in General Electric's electronics laboratory, Schenectady, N.Y., will address electrical engineering students in the auditorium of Marvin hall next Friday evening at 9:30. Dr. Ramo's subject will be "Electrical Concepts at Extremely High Frequencies."
As a development engineer, Dr. Ramo has recently been engaged in electron optical studies and in work on electronic amplification and ultra-high frequency generation, modulation, and reception. He has several patents in his own name and two jointly with Dr. John Blewett of General Electric
Dr. Ramo was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and attended the grade and high schools there, where he became interested in engineering. He was awarded honors for excellent scholarship as well as a part-tuition scholarship at the University of Utah upon the completion of his high school work.
He entered the University of Utah in the fall of 1929 and completed his course in 1933 with a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, and a rank of first in the engineering school. In his senior year he held a laboratory assistantship.
He was active in the student section of A.I.E.E., Tau Beta Pi, Theta Tau and Phi Kappa Phi.
Interested in engineering research and development, Dr. Ramo entered the California Institute of Technology in the fall of 1933 to seek an advanced degree. He received his Ph.D magna cum laude in 1936.
Entering the employment of General Electric at Schnectady as a student engineer in 1936, he became interested in the theory of electron velocity modulation and worked out several new phases not previously covered. He published his results in the Physical Review and the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1939. In that year he began the study of magnetron theory and experiment.
As a teacher in the high-frequency field, Dr. Ramo first studied in General Electric's advanced course in engineering and then went on to organize that company's advanced course in high-frequency engineering. He since has given up active direction of that course but is a frequent lecturer.
Dr. Ramo received an honorable mention award from Eta Kappa Nu.
All candidates for positions of business manager and advertising manager of The Daily Kansan should file written applications in the office of Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism. Closing date is Monday, May 11. Every University student is eligible, no matter what his major course is. Both positions pay salaries.
The written application should explain in detail why the candidate's training, experience, interest, and talents make him a suitable person for the position. Appointments will be made by the business committee of the Kansan board, consisting of Profs. Beth and L. N. Flint, Mr. K. W. Davidson, and Frank Baumgartner, business manager of The Kansan.
honorary electrical engineering fraternity, as one of the "Outstanding young electrical engineers for 1941."
A contributor of technical articles to magazines, he is now writing a textbook on "Electromagnetics of Modern Radio." He has also been carrying on the radio communications course at Union College, Schenectady.
V. P. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering said today, "I know Dr. Ramo personally and he is both a very able engineer and speaker."
His subject is most timely because of the great use at present of ultrahigh frequencies in airplane detection.
Any student, whether in engineering or not, is invited to hear this address."
Goode Recital Ends Applied Music Series
The final applied music recital of the year was presented at 8 o'clock last night in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall when Helen Goode, pianist, candidate for the master of music degree, set forth a program of piano numbers featuring the opening movement of the Brahms D minor concerto with her instructor, Professor Jan Chiapusso supplying the orchestral parts at a second piano.
Miss Goode is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Goode, 1245 Oread. She received her bachelor of music degree from the University in 1940.
The Prelude, Fugue, and Variations from Cesar Franck, a Seriabine Etude and the Sonatine from Ravel, completed the program.
