And many a v isito r as we ll as students ha ve t rod these ste ps, for t he min eral mu se um th a t is loca ted on thi s floor is outsta ndin g a mong the points of interes t on th e M. S. M. campus.

But th ough th e mu seum is showy, still it contains onl y one of th e geologic collec ti ons, totali ng a n es timated va lu e of $45,000, whi ch th e department has accumul a ted through th e yea rs to so g reat a n ex tent th a t now it is no longe r abl e to house th em adequ a tely.

Concurrent with the founding of th e school in 1871 a rose the need for geologic specimens. At that time geology and its rela ted subj ec ts did not constitute a se pa rate department, but was taught, with th e aid of specimens gathered by the fac ulty, by Col. J. W. Abert, Prof. of Mathematics, Geo. D. Emerso n, Prof. of Civi l a nd Mine Engineering, and Direc tor C. P. William s, acting State Geologist, each of whom shared the burden equ all y .

It was not until 1892 that the dep a rtment of geology was ass igned to one professor. Then, C. P. Conrad , Prof. of Chemistry a nd Meta llurgy, was given the res pon sibility for teac hing a ll th e necessa ry courses in geology and minera logy. In the foll ow ing year, as chemistry was se pa ra ted from mining and metallurgy, geologic slJ bj ec ts were integrated into the latter depa rtm ent, whi ch was hea ded by Prof. H. K . L andi s.

With the co ntinu al growth of th e sc hool, geology fin a ll y gained its rightful positi on when in 189 7 th e first Professo r of Geology a nd Mining, George E. Ladd, ass um ed hi s duties of professo r and Directo r of th e school.

In th e suc ceedin g t we nty-four years th e depa rtm ent was hea ded by L. S. Gri swold , 1907-1910, and G. H. Cox, 1910-1 920. It was under th ese two men , pa rti cul arl y during the ad mini str at ion of Prof. Cox, that a stable and effici ent depa rtm ent was erec ted.

When in 1921 Dr. C. L. Dake bega n hi s a bl e m a nage ment of th e departm ent, unu sual grow th and ex pa nsion , characteri stic of th e depa rtm ent toda y, began.

Dr. Muilenburg's foundation in geology was sec ured in seve ra l sc hool s. Hi s undergraduate yea rs we re li ve d at th e State University of Iowa, by whi ch he was gradu ate d with a B.A. D eg ree in Geology in 1912. H e pursued furth er graduate wo rk at Iowa, the University of Missou ri , and Columbi a Un ive rsity, winning th e M.S. Degree at Iowa in 1913, th e E.M. Degree a t M. S. M . in 1925, a nd the Ph.D. Degree a t Columbi a University in 1925.

Pri or to Dr. Muil enburg's entrance into M. S. M . in 1916 as Instructor in Geology and Minera logy, he had received teac hing expe rien ce in the capacity of Gradu ate Assist a nt in Geology at th e U ni ve rsity of Missouri from 1913 to 1914 a nd as Instru cto r in Geology, Colorado School of Mines, 19 141916.

A m an of both prac tic al and teac hing abi lity, Dr. Muilenburg has spent a good portion of his time in the field.

Agenci es with which he has been associa ted a re th e Colorado Geologic al Survey, th e Mi ssouri G eologica l Survey, the Na ti onal Explora tion Company, the Kansas E xplora tion Company, and the Mo nsa nto Chemica l Company.

In additi on Dr. Muilenburg has had broad geologica l experi ence in th e capac ity of consulting geologist. H e has done consulting wo rk for th e Un ion E lec tric Light and Powe r Co., the Current Ri ve r Power Co. , th e R epublic Steel Corp ., the North America n Refr ac tori es Co., th e Underwriters H ea lth Conservancy Laboratori es, and th e P ittsburg Pl ate Gl ass Co.

M.S.M. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BANQUET The a nnu al ba nqu et of the M . S. M. Alumni Associ a tion was held Saturday eve ning, October 23 rd , a t th e H otel E dwin Long. The ba nqu et followed th e football ga me betwee n th e Miners and Kirk svill e, a nd in spite of th e so mew ha t di sa ppointing res ult of a t ie game, the alumni we re imbu ed with a spirit whi ch has not been see n on this cam pu s in m any a yea r.

After a t yp ical Ed win Long repas t, the mee tin g was ca lled to ord er by the Toast maste r, R obe rt ( P at) Cummin gs, '05, aft er whi ch each m emb er present a rose a nd gave his class a nd present affili ations. Following this, at the sugges tion of th e to as tm as ter, a two minute peri od of silence was obse rve d in honor of th e memory of one of M. S. M.'s most emin ent faculty a nd a lumni , Prof. Geo rge R eginald D ea n, who, to quote th e wo rd s of th e to as tm aste r, "was a m a n much more th an an inst ru ctor, kee n witted , good hea rted, a nd broad mind ed, always willing to help th e stud ent in trouble."

The speaker of the eve ning, our new Director, Mr. W. R. Chedsey, was prese nted to th e a lum ni by Mr. Cummings. Prof. Chedsey spoke on the pla nning of a definit e program for th e school which would be ba sed on th e principles th at, " first , th ere should be a poli cy ag reed to by all, second, th a t we shou ld m a ke ha ste slowly, a nd third , th at th e methods and ideas which prove impracti ca l should be sc ra pped . . . .

The Administrator's job is not to prov ide th e motive powe r, but is to orga ni ze tho se groups who shall , through their whole-hea rted cooperation, move th e sc hool forwa rd with a more united front. An enginee r will agree that th e attack of a ny engin ee ring probl em is first , to obtain all the fac ts in volved, seco nd , to organize a nd evalu a te th em , a nd third, to build the structure up on definitely so und found a ti ons."

Th e speaker closed by th a nking th e asse mbly for th eir coopera ti on, and pledgin g hi s co ntinu ed ac tion s to be such as to warrant th eir co ntinu ed fri end ship a nd supp ort.

a propos to cond itions at thi s school.

In brief, he told of an alumnu s a t an eas tern sc hool who, on a ttending one of the big ga mes of th e seaso n, would a ri se after eac h successful pl ay and shout, " Hurray ! That's ju st th e pl ay I wou ld h ave ca lled were I th e quarterb ack," much to th e annoya nce of th e surroundin g spectato rs.

After m a rchin g the length of th e fi eld , th e fell ow's tea m was held for downs on th e two-ya rd line. The exub erant a lumnu s rem ained sil ent, whereup on on e of the specta tors ca ll ed to him , "Where we re you on th a t pl ay!" T o w hi ch th e remote control qu a rterb ack countered, "H- -, I got th em dow n to the t wo-ya rd line, you' d think th eir quarterb ac k cou ld put them ove r."

P erc summa ri zed hi s rem arks by saying th at he ha d neve r wo rked with a group of kee ner spirited men hav ing a grea ter desi re to win. "They'll scrap until th e whi stl e blows. I'm proud of th em."

W. M. (B ill ) T aggart, '20, who was instrumental in bringing th e new coac hes down to M . S. M. next introduced Ga le Bullman, Coach of the Miner t ea m. Gale caught th e tempo of the crowd when he remarked that it was a ple as ure to work with some practical minded men after having been associat ed with psychologists and others of like training. He strongl y advocated a close r relationship between th e alumni and th e school in rega rd to a thletics, for it is onl y with strong alumni support and interes t th a t athletics can be m aintained on a high pl a ne at this school.

The nex t speaker was Mr. B. L. Ashdown, Presid ent of the St. Loui s Chapter of th e Alu mni Associa ti on, w ho pl edged hi s orga ni za tion a nd himself to do all in th eir powe r to be of se rv ice to th e sc hool a nd to Mr. Chedsey.

Benj amin G. (Ben) Nichol s, '1 9, introduced J. K. W alsh, '17, by saying that "some m en will work hard er for se ntiment th a n for money, others will trave l long ways for a n ideal. " For being a m a n who ha s followed both of these pa th s in furth erin g th e interes ts of th e School of Mines, it was hi s pri vil ege to prese nt to "J. K ." a life m emb ership in the M. S. M. A lumni Association. The text of th e awa rd was then rea d to the Association by th e Toas tm as ter, whereup on W alsh spoke to the asse mbl y, pl edgin g himse lf to th e continued th ought to forge t perso nal anim ositi es, and 1:0 a continued effort to reach a comm on goa l.

With thi s pl edge, he accepted th e awa rd.

Fol lowing seve ral short speec hes by returnin g a lumni , th e toa stma ster introdu ced Mr. P ercy Gi ll , A ssista nt Coach of th e Min er footba ll squad.

Very n a turall y, I like to see a creditab le m agaz in e of thi s ge neral t ype carrying th e m essage of yo u a lumni to ea ch ot her, showin g th a t the alumni of thi s sc hool a re active, progressive and doing th eir part in creative thinkin g a nd writin g, a nd fin all y, but incid enta ll y, ca rry in g th e ve ry best adve rti se ment th a t th e school ca n ha ve so fa r as print is concerned ; that is, carrying the n ame of th e school. Thi s las t poi nt is lost entirely if th e m <lgazine is not a hi gh-cl ass m agaz in e conta inin g tec hni ca l articl es. Even though a sm a ll er ma gaz ine co nta ining perso n als migh t be of in terest to th e a lumni, such a m agazine does not get into librar ies a nd does not reac h at least man y oth ers outside of th e a lumni group , whil e a hi gh-class tec hni cal m agazine will in tim e have a co nsidera ble circul a ti on outside of th e alumni group.

Many of th e alumni h ave wr itten me offerin g to do a ny thin g within th eir power and scope to help in th e work of t he sc hool, a nd here is a n oppo rtunity. I do not kno w h ow yo ur a lumn i orga ni za t ion is se t u p and, th erefore, ca nn ot make a pos iti ve sugges ti on a t t hi s tim e.

... W9EEE CALLING CO. • • Th a t's th e fa mili a r ca ll that stud ents of M . S. M. hea r quite frequ entl y when pa ssing by th e No rth east corne r of J ac kli ng Gymn as ium.

And that phrase may be hea rd at a ny time in the af tern oo n, a t midni ght or in th e wee hours of the morning, beca use th a t select group of radi o bugs does not believe in keep ing regul a r hours.

Then, too, most shortwave fans , known to th e profession as " hams" rea li ze th at man y foreign ha ms a re on th e air in th e ea rl y hours of th e morning. And for th e dye d-in-th e-wool ham th e ca ll letters CQ, CQ, CQ, w hi ch mea ns that any ham li stenin g III IS invited to a nswe r, has a strange fas cination.

Previou s to th e yea r 1934 th e School of M ines had no radi o stati on of a permanent nature. There had been short wave station s on the campus but the equ ipment was ow ned by th e students and when th e stud ent left he took the equipment with him. Thus the lack of a sta tion owned by the sc hool where the stud ents in E lec trical Engineering could gain a little knowledge of the intricate workings of receiving sets and transmitters.

In th e spring of '34 th e E. E. depa rtm en t purchase d th e necessa ry equipm ent for th e in stallati on of a modern a ma teur short wave station.

Thi s equ ipm ent was inst alled in th a t summ er by Dougla s M a rtin, Jr. , E.E. '33, a nd has bee n perform ing successfull y since that t ime. M a rtin obtained hi s M.S . in '35 and is wo rking in Tul sa, Okla .

Since th e da te of in stall ation th e sta tion has bee n opera ted und er th e ca ll lette rs, W 9D UM, W 9PCT, a nd W 9EEE . T he sta tion has co ntacted st ation s in all co ntin ents of the "vorld, working (CW) code, a nd ha s contacted ~ Il th e co ntin ents in th e wo rld , except Asia, wo rking phone. Contacts have bee n m ade with eve ry st a te in the United St ates.

The ca lls W 9DUM and W 9 PCT were iss ued to students, but thi s was und esirable as th e ca lls would change from year to year. With such a condition existin g it was impossible for the station and M . S. M. to establish a repu ta tion.

Thi s fall the sta tion was li censed to the M. S. M . Rad io Club under th e letters W9EEE. The Radio C lu b is an organization of M . S. M . stud ents who are interested in the devel opment of rad io, both ama teur and commercial.

The officers are : J. S. LeGrand , pres ident; W. D . White, v ice-president, and R. '0/. Matthews, sec retary-treasurer.

The faculty adv iso r is Prof. G. O. R a nes.

The se rvices of th e station have bee n so mew hat va ri ed. Most of th e co nta cts th a t have bee n m ade have bee n of th e conv enti ona l amateur nature. T hey have been pure exc ha nge of ideas, in form ati on, and reports. H oweve r, m a ny pl easura ble hours of round tab le di sc ussion have bee n enj oyed.

Along with th e co nve nt ional wo rk th e st a tion has been a benefit to man y stud ents in getti ng messages to t heir pa rents, rela tives or fri end s. Th e va lu e of th e st a ti on inti mes of emergenc y was see n last winter durin g th e Oh io Ri ve r flood. F lood messages were ha ndl ed a t th a t tim e.

A few wee ks ago the st a ti on was utili zed to bring back to th e Min er fa ns the pl ay-by-pl ay desc ripti on of th e Miner-Warrensburg a nd t he MinerOk lahoma City foot ball ga mes.

The transmitter is loca ted in th e powe r pl a nt a nd is controlled remotely by cab les underground.

The tran smitter consists of a 47 crysta l osci ll ator; parallel 46's buffer ( or doubler ) ; 203A fin al amplifier, with a normal input of approximately 200 watts. The modulators consist of a pa ir of 83 0B's in class B.

Engineers are wisely returning to the practice of recovering mineral values at their coarsest point of liberation, Good concentrating t ables are therefore winning more favor and wider applica tion daily , DiagonalDeck Deister-Overstrom Tables offer you the finest concentrating equipment mechanically and metallurgically. The improvements in this , eqUIpment enable operators to keep a breast of economic conditions a nd chang es.

On the basis of this traditional performance and mechanical excellence, and following deliberate investigations of the most modern concentration practice and equipment, Cia. Minera de Oruro, Bolivia, South America, ordered in 1936, at one stroke of the pen, 80 Diagonal-Deck Deister-Overstrom Concentrating Tables for the new Vinto MilL This important producer, like others in Bolivia successfully engaged in the exacting recovery of tin, has for 23 years depended on Diagonal-Deck Deister-Overs,t rom Tables for the most efficient and profitable concentrating service. Since the first Diagonal-Deck Deister-Overstrom Tables were applied on tin recovery in the early part of this century, Bolivian tin mines have purchased 524 Diagonal Deck Tables, manufactured by THE ORIGINAL DEISTER CONCENTRATOR COMPANY to insure those extra advantages which analytical operators seek on the exacting metallurgical proMems.

Seven pages of the current M, S, M, cata logue a re devoted to th e desc ri ption of the courses offe red by th e depa rtment.

Open to graduates are seve ral adva nced subj ec ts. Principles of ore deposition an d adva nced map in terpret ation are useful for a minin g engineer alumnu s; paleontology, metamorphi sm, a nd sedim enta tion are ava il ab le for grad uates desirin g to ma ke geology their profession; while the X-ray analysis course, furni shin g t he latest mea ns of chemica l a nalys is, might be a key to ad va ncement for alumni who are in cera mics, chemistry, or metallurgy, At thi s tim e it might be well to bring to the atte ntion of you a lumni that th e Dep artment is eq uipp ed to und ertake mineral determin a tion utilizing the most mod ern methods. By coopera ti on with other departments X ray, spectroscopic, petrographic, and polished section ana lysis can be and is being carried on, As stated before, the entire second floor of Norwood H all , conta ining the D epa rtm ent personnel offices, fi ve combin ation lec ture and laboratory rooms, and the mineral museum, is given ove r to th e Geology D epa rtm ent. H oused in space-saving fas hi on are collections of minerals, rocks, ores, fossils, and of maps that, in the D epa rtment's opinion , ri va l the best in a'ny other technical school tod ay.

For each course there is specific example m a terial. Tabulated sys tematically and contained in tier up on ti er of drawers lining the corres pondin g cl assrooms, the specimens are easil y ava il ab le when wanted, Such arra ngeme nt, however, necessaril y shuts th em off from the public gaze l The structura l geology cou rse employs a series of specimens carefull y chosen to illustra te th e effec ts of the various weathering agencies upon rock an d minera ls. This collec ti on has been built up throu gh the years by the D epartment and is consta ntl y being enla rged.

Supplementing is a complete set of all the top ograp hi c m aps of the U. S. tha t have been issued to d a teo In a ll there are 20,000 maps, geologica l and topograp hi ca l.
