“Imagineering’’ Given as
American Secret Weapon
The coined word "iniagineer-
ing” was suggested at the Ore­
gon State College to represent
imagination plus engineering and
science by E C. Sammons, state
bond drive chairman. Portland
manufacturer and State Board of
Higher Education member, in a
mid-year commencement address.
Sammons said "imagineering"
plus an inborn spirit of liberty
constitute two of America's most
potent "secret weapons' in this
war. These have made possible,
he said, overcoming an initial ad­
vantage of enemy countries in
their long military training and
preparedness.
Degrees were granted to 94 stu­
dents and certificates to 239
Army men completing the ASTU
courses.
Motor vehicle accidents at rail­
road grade crossings have shown
