"From 1914, the chapter continued without any interruption until World War II. During that period, the chapter became inactive for a period of about two years? because of the lack of student body, since everyone was in military service. In 1946, three members of the faculty, including Professor L.R. Kirby who was then of the Civil Engineering Department, gathered together with one student that they were able to find on the campus who was a Tau Beta Pi member. These four gentlemen then elected four new members to form the nucleus of the reactivated chapter that has maintained its continuity to this day."
