Letter from the President
The 43rd Conclave was recently held in Salt Lake City, Utah
on March 13th-16th. 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

al chapter reporting by the National Office. 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status has not been revoked should continue to file the required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

2014 National 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.

Conclave 2014 - Reflections
Members spent time socializing while wandering
from table to table sampling a wide variety of tasty
appetizers and listening to the small band
(University of Utah School of Music) which played
throughout the event. 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

2013 meeting and/or proposed modifications to the

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-

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.

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.

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-

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.

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.

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
