The general purpose of the past conferences has been to develop relationships among Virginia's industries, and the specific topic of this Confer-ence was the increased emphasis on individuality in the treatment of employees. The meeting was attended by approximately 300 delegates, about 250 of whom were Virginia indus-trialists and another 80 who were college delegates for W&L, VMI, Hampden - Sydney, the University of Virginia, VPI, and William and Mary. The members of the first class engineering sections attend-ed all or parts of the meeting. The Conference was opened with a welcoming address by General Milton stressing the importance of successful employee relations.

The criterion at VMI is not necessarily just success in acade-mics, as it is at most other schools, but more a guestion of "all-rounded-ness." Since valedictorian is elect-ed by the class, this over all ability is a major factor in the selections. During his four years, Norman has held many positions of im-portance and responsibility both in his class and in the Corps as a whole. When a Rat he stood fourth in his class academically and has worn stars ever since. He was chair-man of the class of 1955 Ring Fig-ure committee and was chosen by his fellow classmates to serve on the Honor Court. In his second class year he served his class again as a member of the Honor Court as well as being president of the Bap-tist club. He served on the reli-gious coucil also—the glee club has had his services as a first bass for four years, and he now is vice president of this organization. Nor-man is at present, president of the VMI Honor Court, a position in which he has shown the greatest devotion and has served with dis-tinction. Until recent makeovers at which time he was appointed batta-lion S-4, he held the rank of second lieutenent in F Company. He re-signed his post to devote more time to his other various activities.
