Princeton Engineer, The, began publication in January 1941. Its founding editors, Theodore Rockwell III '43 and William P. Stadig '43, announced that its three-fold purpose was to unite the undergraduate engineers in a new kind of cooperative project, to keep alumni and students informed about the school's activities and facilities, and to help procure for the engineering school ``the recognition it deserved'' in the outside world. The magazine appeared to be well on its way to achieving the third aim in 1956, when Dean Elgin disclosed that ten paid subscriptions were going regularly to Moscow.
