Future systems application engineer Ernest Cohen '64 (Course VI) in class during his junior year, 1963.

Most required classes that we shared together are over [by junior year] and we are getting deeper into our professional specialties.  The picture above of Ernie [Cohen '64] was used in three Techniques [yearbook] and thus became Technique tradition – two times is just plain old reuse. Ernie at the most recent ALC [Alumni Leadership Conference] reflected on how in our class there were fewer black students (3) than women (25).
