A Midwinter's Night Drean1 John K. Walsh, '1 7 At the la st a llllUa l Hom ecoming d inner a liyely :md welcome in ter est \Va s mani fested in th e welfare of the sch ool.

Particu lar co nce rn \YflS expressed as to t he progr ess m ade, in inter estin g t he B oa rd of Curato r s a long t he lin es poin ted \Jut hy Prel'iden t J ack lin g's committee so me two ~' ea r s ag-o.

It is just as well that th e writer of t hi s artic le was un able, du e to bu ~ in ess appoin tm ent, to attend Homecoming fo r h ed he been present he \Tou ld ha \' e been "on the spot" an d would h aTe been asked question s be,'ond the scope of his opinions as a me r e a l umnus. A di scussion of th e school situ ation might h ave aplleased a nat llra l huma n vanity but on th e oth er h a nd , publicit,' mi o'ht haTe r es ulted that m ay not, at this time at least, be for the best inter ests of the sch ool. It must r em a in until time h a, s hown the value of patience and con sidera tion, to decide wb ether the Alumni's effo rts hav e been in va in .

The Alu mni action oyer byo ~' ea r s ago came at a tim e wh en the en t ire U niYer sity \" as about to un der go m an y chan ges. Since that t ime, a new Presid ent of the Uni versity ha s bee n allpo intecl. ce rtain co urses h a Ye been developed, an entire school h as been discontinued and the la r gest building progr am in the hi stor,' of the UniY ersity is well und er way. These signifi cant moyes sh ould conyin ce eyen the most sk epti ca l that th e sch ool i s under the contr ol of a sympathetic and r easona ble gOTernin g boa rd . The attention of this Boa rd. h as for some time, been directed towards a ffairs of Roll a and this r esult has been a ccomplished w ithon t publicit~· . It is th e writer's belief t h a t the Sch ool of Min es is about to be la un ched upon eyen a gr eater mission of sen 'ice and education.

It was m entioned, I und ersta nd , at Homecomin g, that the E ngineerin g School at Columbi a, sm aller in attendance, .younge r in establi shment a nd oTersh ado wed, even on its own campus by sister sch ools, has been given considerable r eo cent stimulus by way of a new dean, a new building and proposed ne\v and m odern equipment. The Sch ool of Min es co ngr atula tes the University an d much cr edit should be giTen ot t he new Presielent of the University whose alertn ess and initi ativ e in :securing government fund s have m ade such things possible. W e of Rolla might ha Te secured such government funels as well, had we been vigilant. The subj ect was brought up, however , as if there were a confl ict between th e Sch ool of Engineering at Columbia a nd th e School of Mines a nd Met a llurgy at Rolla . Such is not th e case. 1.' he r espec ti ve fields a r e parallel in man y ways but a r e based on entirely different and sepa r ate missions. 'l' h e sc ho ol at Colum bia, in th e public mind at leas t, h as tended to give gen er a l engineering cou r ses r ath er than to specia li7.e. D ne, p r obably, to th e establi shm ent nea rby of a g r eat Agricultural College, certain co urses a re de finitely com mi tted to rnral develop ment. Many engin eerin g graduates of Colu mbia h aye chosen hi ghway work, fa rm developments an d si milar pursuits.

Th e 8ch ool of :\Iin es, sepa rate in es ta bli shm ent, location a nd I! ]lpropriation has a so mewhat differ ent purpose_ Th e fundam ental mission of t he School of Min es is to pro yid e en fdn ee rin g edu cation r elating to min era l r eso urces. As b ~ th schools expfl nd it is but n atural that a certa in a mount of dupli cation i s encounter ed. The School of Mines, or "Rolla" as it is mo r e common l ~' , but in a ppropriately ca lled, oyer a period of m or e than fifty yea r s, h as m a ele an enyi· ab le record a nel there is no school in Misso uri prepa r ed to compete in the hasi~ subj ects of Mining. Metallurgy, Geol· ogy, Cer amics and P etr oleum. Rolla 's stat us is as clear as was its mission in t h e mind s of th e le!!is lature which conceiTed it. It \y onld seem th en that Rolla's future mu st in· ev itably be a lon g- the lin es of high g r ael e pr ofe:;siona l en· ginee rin g. specia li 7.ing in p r ac tical r esea r ch. a nel training in world wiele exploitation of natura l r eso urces. Un less this

is r ea li zeel , Hol ln 's futur e mH~' be jeopardized.

The ti m e may not ue fn r awa,' Wh Cll t h e engi nee rin g prof ession will elemand high er stancl a rel s both in s ubj ect mat· tel' and in entr ance r equ irem ents. i\Iedical Bch ools r eq uir e fit least t wo ~' e ar s and u sua lly fo ul' of pre-med ic coll eg'e \york.

It tn kes co ur· age to demancl a p r e-,'ear whil e oth er engin ee rin g sch ools maintain a 10\Ter standarel . If an ex tra yen r can be spa r ed , m a ny claim that a gr ad uate year i s th e better choice. On e th in g is ce rtain--Rolla ha s the opport uni t,' to do pioneer \\'ork, to ta ke t h e ini t inth-e and lea d, in stead of.-to fo ll o\\', It is n ot beyond t h e scope of t he Alumni to be conce rn ed w ith th ese t hin gs nor i s it p r es umptuoll S to di sc nss a field , too often aban doned by the engineer , to t he professional educator. A meeting of t he mi nds is alway s good . Th e Alumnus recalls wh at h e ha s had in school, good 01' bad and what h as profited him in after yea r s. Th e Alumnus ma y have a better id ea of wh at th e Industri a l " 70 rld r eq uired than h as the faculty man who h as r ema in ed too loug behind th e walls. To r eturn to school after ten or twenty yea r s and see foreign cUl'l'i cula-to see possibly the sam'e eq uipm en t a lmost 01' entir ely obsolete makes t he Alumni compare sch ool adm ini stration with t hat of t h e outside \T orld.

In business a nd profession a l life, for we Alumni a r e more familiar with that phase than with educational methods, we see large corporations directly an d skillfully goyerned by a Board of Directors. 'l'hese men a r e vi tall y inter ested in th e co rporation a nd a r e usually well Ter sed in each ramification and in ever y detail. All of these Directors g"iYe conSid er able time, m ost of them deyote full tim e and energy. Their m ember ship on the B oa rd of Di r ectors is n either h on ora r y nor po li tical.

The act ual machin ery of busin ess may be left to a gener a l m anager, or to superin ten dents, and these, in turn, a r e mor e direc tly concerned with th e s ubordinate personn el. A g reat dea l of leeway m ay be p ermitted to the salaried mana· ge l' ; in fact, it is often up to t hi s man to take the initiatiYe and to make r ecommendations to the B oard rath er than t h at t he Directors them selyes lead th e way. Wh en the gene r a l m anager ha s no p r ogr8ssiYe ideas and is sa ti sfied to let nature take its course, a new gen eral manager i s freque n t ly employed, or soon r eplaces him. f:lomet hing is radically \\Tong in a ny bus iness firm wher e heads of departments h a Te mutu a l di str ust and are unable to cooper:~ te amoug th emselY es 01' to r espect t heir manager .
