The University of Utah, with support from other chapters in the Rocky Mountain District, hosted us at the Little America Hotel. It was a great success! There were 180 students registered. I was pleased to have more chapters self-represented than in previous conclaves, however, there were more non-responsive no-shows. Pursuant to this conclave, there will be emphasis from National to: 1. Provide a "Why join XE?" video to be used at the informational meeting for prospective pledges Participants of the 43rd National Conclave 2. Address the role and need of chapter honor members Table of Contents 3.

Exact details must still be worked out. Chapters must, however, continue to provide appropriate information to our National Office. continued... In the spring 2013 Transit, I said, “Chi Epsilon National, after a year of back and forth communications with the IRS, has been re-affirmed as a 501(c)(3) non -profit tax exempt organization. The IRS website has therefore been updated to correctly list us as such, so that companies who normally support Chi Epsilon would have the proof they require to insure their donation will be tax deductible.” There will soon be a “Donor Recognition” tab on our chiepsilon.org National Website. We now have a social media presence at ChiEpsilonNational on Facebook! Please visit us there and “Like” us to stay in touch! Unfortunately, I had too much faith that the IRS would actually update its tax exempt organization list on our timetable. It took from spring 2013 until March 2014 for the arm of the IRS that confirmed to us that the list would be updated to when the arm that does the updating actually performed the updating. This IRS lag is totally inexcusable yet beyond our control. After last month’s conversation with our tax advocate, we appear to back to ‘square-one’ with respect to getting chapters who had their 501(c)(3) status revoked by failing to online file IRS Form 990N for three consecutive years. Chapters whose status has not been revoked should continue to file the required Form 990N e-postcard. Chapters with revoked status should be filing a Corporate Income Tax Form 1120. We recommend that you consult with someone in the campus office which oversees student organizations and/or a local CPA before filing this document with the IRS. At the present time, chapters with revoked status should hold off applying for reinstatement until we see exactly what the IRS does to correct their mistake. Northeastern University expressed its readiness to start planning for and host Conclave 2016 in Boston with support from the Northeast District. Since NU is a five year co-op program, the current pledges, who also expressed eagerness to host, will be part of the long-range planning and will be there in March 2016 - a great plus! Some GOOD news!! There is currently a plan being outlined to move individual annual reporting at the chapter level to annu3 On--Line Transit On 2014 National Scholarship Awards ARTHUR N. L.

Chiu Outstanding FA Award Winner Dr. Satish Mohan D r. Mohan has been a constant source of strength to the University of Buffalo chapter. He is a compassionate individual who always encourages members to strive for their best in all endeavors. He has provided countless advice, whether it be what classes would suit their goals, what career prospects are available, scholarship opportunities, and much more. His door is always open to anyone. He inspires them to be the best human beings they could be through high standards in academics, public service, professionalism, and sociability. He is a true embodiment of what Chi Epsilon represents. Dr. Mohan brought back the University of Buffalo’s chapter of Chi Epsilon, after having all previous members graduate or transfer, three years ago. He restarted the chapter beginning with 6 members in the fall of 2011, and by the end of November chapter 70 had 30 current members and 6 graduate students. Dr. Mohan encourages at least one social activity and one volunteer activity each semester in order to fulfill Chi Epsilon’s core values of sociability, practicality, and character. He also invites the entire chapter to attend social functions at his home where he introduces leaders in the engineering field. Even though teaching keeps him busy, he still makes plenty of time available for Chi Epsilon members. Dr. Mohan’s dedication and commitment to the University of Buffalo’s chapter of Chi Epsilon goes above and beyond that which is required of a faculty advisor. 11 On--Line Transit On Recognition of Scholarship Contributions The following Chi Epsilon members made a contribution to the Scholarship Fund for year 2013-2014.

Following the reception, delegates from each district met in Caucus to discuss district business, answer questions about coming activities, and to nominate and/or elect their District Councillor for the next biennium. The 43rd National Chi Epsilon Conclave was held on March 13-16, 2014, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our host for this event was the Rocky Mountain District. The conclave organizing committee worked very hard to ensure that the business of Chi Epsilon was conducted in a comfortable setting and that each of the participants was well fed and entertained during the two and one-half days of the Conclave. Delegates made their way to a full breakfast early Friday morning. The Little America kitchens did a fantastic job providing meal service for the Conclave. Following breakfast, we began the day’s meetings with ‘Roll Call’. The Executive Secretary quickly ran through a slide show which showcased roll-call slides developed by many of the chapters. After a brief report on the general state of affairs within Chi Epsilon, delegates were dismissed to individual committee meetings. According to our records, 124 of the 131 active chapters of our society were represented at the Conclave; 111 chapters were self-represented, 13 chapters were represented by proxy, one chapter was unrepresented because of medical emergency, and 6 chapters were unable to attend. 177 student delegates, 11 faculty advisors, 10 district councillors, 2 national office staffers, 1 National Honor Member and his wife, and several guests were present at the Conclave. The Rocky Mountain District is proud to recognize the following sponsors to the 2014 Conclave: the New Mexico Section of ASCE, Williams, TY-Lin International Group, FLSmidth, BHB Structural, the University of Utah Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Brigham Young University. The following committees met during the Conclave: Audit, Awards and Scholarships, Budget, Chapter Affairs, Communications and Technology, Government and PAROP, and Ritual, Jewelry and Merchandise. The Executive Secretary, in coordination with the National Council, developed agendas for each of the standing committees. These agendas addressed changes made by the National Council during their 2013 meeting and/or proposed modifications to the Thursday night was kicked off with a ‘Welcome Reception’ in the Little America Hotel Ballroom. Keeping with tradition, pennants from each of our chapters were displayed across the ceiling of the room. 17 On--Line Transit On Conclave 2014 - Reflections Continued... PAROP, the Constitution and Bylaws, the Ritual, and other national documents. Each committee was asked to review the documents presented to them and to approve and/or amend the recommendations. At the conclusion of the meetings, each committee was tasked with developing a report to be presented to the general assembly for discussion and final approval. answer questions regarding their presentation and recommendations. At the conclusion of all discussions, a motion was made and seconded to approve all reports as presented and/or amended. The general assembly overwhelming approved the recommendations made by each committee. Minutes for the 43rd National Chi Epsilon Conclave are being prepared and will be posted as soon as possible on the national website: www.chi-epsilon.org Friday afternoon was a busy time. While a couple of committees continued to work through their aggressive agendas, a number of members participated in scheduled field trips to the Utah State Capitol, the Public Safety Building, the Hogle Zoo, Temple Square, and the Utah Olympic Park. Some members elected to explore the city on their own. Everybody returned to the hotel for a group photograph and excellent dinner. Immediately prior to the Awards Banquet, student members were required to be present for the National Initiation Ceremony, held in the Grand Ballroom A of the Grand America Hotel. During this initiation ceremony the Utah chapter recognized Christian L. Hofheins as their 2014 Chapter Honor Member. Additionally, the student members witnessed the elevation of William F. Marcuson, III as the 63nd National Honor Member. Saturday found the delegates ready for an expansive continental breakfast followed by yet another ‘Roll Call’. This time the Executive Secretary experimented with an electronic roll-call system. While not a resounding success, there’s hope for the future. During a brief general session, the Conclave Parliamentarian outlined the guidelines for the day’s activities. Basically, each committee was allowed to present their report to the general assembly without discussion. After all reports had been presented, the committee representatives returned to the podium to The Awards Banquet on Saturday evening was a gala event. Members met in the Grand Salon of the Grand America Hotel for the banquet. Once again the hotel staff did a magnificent job with food services. Dinner music was provided by “The Crimson Harpists”, also with the University of Utah School of Music. Following dinner, Bill Marcuson presented a short program entitled; “Traits of Successful Engineers”. Mr. Marcuson talked about talents and capabilities needed in an engineer from the be- 18 On--Line Transit On Conclave 2014 - Reflections Conclave Sponsors ginning to the end of their career. He spoke about the ‘ring of integrity’ which must be present throughout the lifetime of the successful engineer. He also discussed how socio-economic factors affect the choices we make as engineers. In closing, Bill had a couple of observations. “If you do not invest in the future, there is no future!” “If you can help someone and it costs you nothing – try to help. The benefit/cost ratio is infinity”. At the conclusion of Mr. Marcuson’s talk, the Executive Secretary presented our newest National Honor Member with a certificate commemorating this achievement. The last part of the evening’s program consisted of making presentations of awards and certificates. Chapters were honored with the coveted Susan C. Brown Award for Outstanding Performance. National and District Scholarships and Fellowships were granted to student members present at the Conclave. The James M. Robbins “National Excellence in Teaching” and the Arthur N. L. Chiu “Outstanding Faculty Advisor” Awards were also presented. Individual certificates were given to the host committee members. Newsflash: The 44th National Chi Epsilon Conclave will be held at Northeastern University in Boston in 2016. Exact dates have yet to be determined. Stay tuned for future news. 19 On--Line Transit On National Honor Member — William F. Marcuson, III, PhD, PE It is an honor and a pleasure for Chi Epsilon to recognize William F.

Below you will find a letter written by a ‘young’ civil engineer named J. C. Harrower. J. C. was born in 1905 and attended Armour (Illinois Institute of Technology). He was inducted into Chi Epsilon (member number 378) on December 8, 1926, and graduated in 1927. Unfortunately, we don’t know much more about Mr. Harrower, but we do know that he wanted each of his Fraternity Brothers to know where he was and what he was doing. Please take a few moments to read through his letter. The James and Sharon Weinel/Chi Epsilon Scholarship is awarded to senior Chi Epsilon students Victoria Larson & James Arthur Pierson. (MN) J. C. Harrower Dodging Bush Cows in West Africa Letter received from J. C. Harrower, Armour ‘27 Duside, Liberia June 1, 1928 Dear Brothers: Certainly was interested to learn that Chi Epsilon is to have a publication. Hope you mail my copies ahead of time so that I will get them before I go home, as it takes from one to two months to get mail here from the States. Guess it’s up to me to confess why I’m here in this ‘White Man’s Grove’, so here goes. 27 On--Line Transit On The Editor’s Corner Liberia is a tropical country, being situated just a few degrees north of the equator on the west coast of Africa, and all the usual tropical conditions prevail as to disease, climate, etc. The company has found it practical to build about seventy-five miles of roads, all of which are now passable within five hours after the rain stops. A great portion of the surface of this country is a coarse gravel which makes fine roads and better foundations. I am situated about fifty miles from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa on Du Plantation No. 1 of the Firestone Plantations Company. This company will soon have five plantation groups in the country with a total of one half million acres of rubber trees in an attempt to break the British monopoly. All are located within fifty miles of the Atlantic coast, and all are on navigable rivers. I can’t tell you the number of trees in the Du group alone, but they sure are thick. Some of them here are three years old and will be ready for tapping in two years. The sections where the plantations are located are rapidly becoming small American towns, each with electric lights, running water, ice and its own trading stores. The latter are a valuable asset, as the trip to the coast over government maintained roads is impossible most of the rainy season. My job is to connect each plantation group by radio telephone and the Du group with the home office via radio telegraph. The latter has been in operation for three months and up to two thousand words a day of company business are handled. The poor mail service and the slow and costly cable make the radio a great saver of time and money. The natives, of whom we employ some fifty thousand, are small in stature and work for a shilling a day. They serve in every capacity, from farm laborers to cooks to truck drivers. If you keep things locked up, they are fairly honest, and under the right management will do a great deal of work in a day. I had to get a crew of natives, clear the top of a hill and build a temporary station which took about two months, as the natives are not too good carpenters and my civil engineering training didn’t help me much in that line. Much of the material was carried up on the heads of the workers and hand-sawed lumber was used throughout. Now I’m building a new station of concrete blocks (brought up the river in surf boats) that will house two radio telegraph transmitters and one radio telephone set. The latter is strictly for local work, having about a kilowatt of power and working on a wave-length of about hundred meters. Transatlantic work is carried on with a night wave of 29.6 meters and a day wave of 16.0 meters. It is possible to vary either of these considerably. Game abounds in the bush on the outskirts of the plantations. There are elephants, leopards, water buffalo, bush cow, bush cats, and millions of monkeys. The bush cow is by far the worst to hunt. Several of the staff have had very narrow escapes from death while hunting them and have not escaped injury. I do not relish the time when I will have to go to Senoe to put the station up there, as we have just received word that a band of elephants just passed through and demolished most of the temporary huts of the staff. All is not joy and ease here by a long way, and the distance from home is forgotten in the continual round of difficulties surrounding tropical de- 28 On--Line Transit On The Editor’s Corner Chi Epsilon Member Memorial EUGENE A. GLYSSON velopment. As I have charge of building and putting each station into operation as well as supervising the operation, I don’t suppose I shall ever get any peace. Anyway, that keeps my mind off the injustice of being able to talk with the folks at home and not being able to see them and share in their good times. Eugene Andrus Glysson passed away on April 2, 2014, after a six month battle with bone cancer. He was born in 1926 in Montpelier, Vermont to Edward and Helen Andrus Glysson. He graduated from high school in Hyde Park, VT after which he joined the navy and served in Chicago at the Naval Training Center. After his discharge, he attended the University of Vermont, receiving his BS in civil engineering in 1949, and met the love of his life, Marie Matthews. He came to Ann Arbor to earn his Masters in civil engineering and in 1951 and was offered a job teaching at the University of Michigan. He and Marie married that same year and decided to remain in Ann Arbor to raise their family. In 1968, he took a year’s sabbatical in order to complete his course work for a PhD at Drexel University in Philadelphia and finished it in 1972. He was honored to become a full professor at Michigan in 1974. He taught in the Civil Engineering Department for over forty years, trying to retire numerous times, finally succeeding in 1995. During his career, Professor Glysson taught and performed research on solid waste disposal and management, municipal engineering and water, wastes and solid wastes engineering. Fraternally, J. C. Harrower Closing Thoughts: Here was a young man, fresh out of engineering school, who had been entrusted with construction and supervision of cutting edge technology. Is this any different than today’s graduates? One of his first tasks as a civil engineer took him half a world away to complete his job assignment. How many of us get out of our comfort zone and take on a really big challenge? J. C. figured out in a hurry that engineering school didn’t prepare him for every task. Shortly after graduation, most of us also figure out we don’t know everything we need to be successful. I think J. C. saw what he was doing as worthy of his time and energy. Should we not take ‘ownership’ of each and every project we work on? We need to make sure that each aspect of the project under our control is completed to the best of our knowledge and ability. Finally, I heard the unspoken pride in the work he performed for the company. Yes, life was tough there in the bush, but it didn’t stop him from being the best civil engineer he could be. Our challenge: go forth and do more of the same. 29 On--Line Transit On Chi Epsilon Member Memorial ing, he continued to go to his office on north campus to stay in touch with colleagues, students, and the happenings in his field. He was still serving on the Washtenaw County Board of Public Works at the time of his death. In addition to his devotion to his field, he also devoted many hours to Michigan sports, Downtown Kiwanis Club, and the First Congregational Church of Ann Arbor. Together he and Marie were active in faculty events and enjoyed traveling the world together. He was heartbroken when Marie passed away in September. He will be greatly missed. He was a consultant to the National Science Foundation, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Michigan Department of Health. He also spent one term as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service assigned to the Land Protection Branch Office of Solid Wastes. He was recognized for teaching in 1970 by the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and by the College of Engineering for Excellence in Faculty Service in 1992. In 1983, he was named Outstanding Civil Engineer of the Year by the Michigan Section of the ASCE. In 2002, he was awarded the prestigious George W. Fuller award by the Michigan Section of the American Water Works Association and in 2011, the Jack A. Borchardt award for service to his field. Professor Glysson’s career was known for his devotion to students. He served as faculty advisor to Michigan’s chapter of Chi Epsilon for 30 years, being only the second faculty advisor of that chapter since its inception in 1949. He also served as the department program advisor for 21 years providing unprecedented continuity and quality to the undergraduate program in civil and environmental engineering. He received the inaugural CEEFA Faculty Award for excellence in teaching in 2009. One of the favorite positions Professor Glysson held was that of Director of Camp Davis, the U of M Engineering and Geology camp located in Jackson, Wyoming from 1960 - 1964. After retir- PAUL R.

He is the sole author of four textbooks on construction, several are in their 2nd and 3rd editions, as well as having been translated into other languages by his former students. He has also co-authored several texts and has written over 100 scholarly papers and articles. His graduate students, both masters and PhD, number in the 100+, many that have gone on to make significant contributions to the construction industry. Jimmie Wayne Hinze, 67, of College Station, went to be with his Lord and Savior on September 12, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. Jimmie was born in Burton, Texas on February 17, 1946 and grew up on a cotton and chicken farm in Round Top. He is a graduate of the Round-Top Carmine High School and received an associate degree from Blinn College, BS in Architectural Engineering with Honors and Masters of Science in Architectural Engineering from the University of Texas, Austin. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 1976. Here, he began his life’s work in construction safety and human factors in construction. He was an active member of the Construction Industry Institute (CII) and was a founding member of the CIB, W99, an international organization in construction. He was recently inducted into the National Academy of Construction, a prestigious honor bestowed upon those who have impacted construction at the national level. He was an ASCE and ASSE member, and contributed both as author and reviewer. There were many awards over the course of his career, including the ASCE Peurifoy Construction Research Award; CII Outstanding Researcher, 2003 and 2013; the Nancy Perry Teaching Excellence Award, and many others. He was described as a gentleman and most humble, always putting his students and fellow colleagues ahead of himself. His first academic appointment was at the University of Missouri, Columbia; however, he was “loaned” to the Bureau of Standards in Washington D.C. to work on Trenching Standards that are still in use today. He was the Director of graduate studies at the University of Missouri and worked with many students from all over the world. He also spent twelve years in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Washington before accepting an appointment at the University of Florida, Gainesville as the Director of the ME. Rinker School of Building Construction. He retired in May of 2013 and was Director of the Fluor Center for Construction Safety at UF. He had students and colleagues from all over the world.

He also wrote poetry and was an accomplished artist in 32 On--Line Transit On Chi Epsilon Member Memorial Along with Mary, he participated in establishing the St. Garabed Armenian Apostolic Church of the Desert. Most unique is that Arthur started jogging in 1965, years before it became the sport of style that it is today. He jogged three miles daily for 40 years, and took up biking in his late 80s. His other passion was working with his citrus, fig, peach, and loquat trees at home. charcoal and watercolors. He had an incredible sense of humor and knew how to turn a bad situation into something that could make one laugh. He will be missed beyond measure by his family. Arthur Swajian, 93, longtime Coachella Valley resident, passed away at the Palm Desert home he shared with his beloved wife Mary on Friday, July 26, 2013. Arthur was born in Istanbul, Turkey, on May 20, 1920, to Leon and Aghavni Swajian and came to the United States with his family at the age of two. His early years were spent in Detroit, Michigan. Arthur graduated from UC Berkeley in 1942 with a degree in Chemistry and joined the US Navy in 1943, serving in the US Navy Reserves through 1950. He later obtained a Civil Engineering and Surveying degree from USC. He met the love of his life Mary Getsoian while stationed in San Diego, and this June 22, 2013 celebrated 67 years of marriage. They settled in Alhambra, California, where their two children were born. Arthur worked for the County of Los Angeles as a civil engineer from 19461955 and moved in 1955 to the Coachella Valley to became Executive Officer of the State of California Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Board until his retirement in 1990. Arthur practiced civil engineering and surveying, particularly in the creation of Bermuda Dunes Country Club working alongside William E. Carter and later Ernie Dunlevie. 33 On--Line Transit On Chapter Reports Index — spring 2014 Chapter annual reports are published only on-line at this web site www.chi-epsilon.org.
