Message of Alumni President Garl 6. Stifel Unity and comp lete cooperation for the Missouri School of Mines are evidenced by the messages of President Middlebush and D ea n Wil son. Th e Board of Curators is just as anxio us as the ~ tud e nts and A lumni to make the School of Mines the outstanding techni ca l institute of America. My one request is that you keep the closest contact with your local Alumni section and support Dean Wilson and President Middl eb u sh with everything you have in the way of information regarding outstanding work of fe llow students and Alumni, volunteer to assist in placing men who graduate, providing they meet the neC' Carl G. Stifel essary qua li fications, and make yourself a part of a group determined to repay their Alma M ater (the closest relationship we have in this world next to our mother and fami ly). Come to the next H omecoming as your presence will make it worthwhile.

Message from Dr. C. LWilson, Dean of MSM It has been a pleasure to meet personally a number of the graduates of Missouri School of Mines and M etallurgy. Until that pleasure is extended , I trust that you wi ll accept this manner of sending you a few words of greeting.

Since coming to Rolla I have been deeply impressed by the work of the School of Mines and especially by the possibility of continuing that work into the distant future. The School has many resources: A beautiful campus, some excellent laboratories, a capable facu lty, and a stu ~dent body made up of America's g rea tes t assets . Th er e ar e other sources of power which are not so easily recognized on the surface: A Board of Curators, all of whom are intensely interested in the program of the School of Mines and M etallurgy; the President of the University, Dr. Frederick A. Middlebush, Cu rUs L. Wilson w ho is so enthusiastic about th e School of Mines and M etallurgy that I al most feel he may be neg(Contin ued on Page 4)

NUMBER 1

Message from Dr. F. A. Middlebush I welcome and appreciate the opportunity given me by President Stifel, who is doing an excellent job, to send each and everyone of the graduates of the School of Mines and M etalluray a special word of greeti ngs in the alumni news letter. You are il~ter­ ested, as I am, in the progressive and sound development of the School of Mines and I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to tell you of some of these developments.

In April, 1940 the Board of Curators at a two -day meeting held at the School of Mines, approved the legislative budget for all divisions of th e University, and included therein a request for an appropriation of $295,000.00, for the er ection of a new h ea ting and power plant at the School of Mines.

The real need for this addition was fu ll y r ecog ni zed and it was placed first on the list of requests. In spite of the limi tations of Frederick A. M idd le bu sh public fund s for buildings, the sum of $225,000.00 was finall y appropriated by the (Cont inu ed on P age 4)

A lthough Mr. Rucker was never a student at the School of Mines he was a great fr iend of the school and generously supported its ac tivities . For some tim e he was a cadet at the United States N ava l A cademy at Ann apolis and later married the niece of C ol.

Charles L. W ood of R olla.

Be ides leaving the $20,000 to the M issouri School of M ines he left nu merable bequests to various institutions. The Episcop al C hurch of R oll a wa left $50,000, and altogether organizations in Missouri shared some $600,000 of his million doll ar will.

Alumni M ake C. G. Stifel President at Banquet The annu al meeting of the Missouri School of Mines A lumni A ssociati on was held O ctober 18 at the H otel Edwin Long in connection with the traditional H omecoming banquet . T he banquet honored the cl ass of 19 16, w ho were celebrating their reunion after twenty-fi ve yea rs. James L. H ead , a member of that class, served as toastmaster at the banquet.

About 550 Guests Attend Combined Parents'-Engineers' Day Program Curator Cowgill Blair, Principal Speaker In order to give a fuller program to attending guests, the annual Parents' Day program was combined with Engineers' Day this year. The experiment proved to be a great success, with over 500 people observing the engineeri ng exhibi ts and attending the parents' activities. A total of 402 guests registered, and it is estimated that betwee n 100 and 200 attended without registering.

Perfect wea ther prevailed d uring the day , enabling the guests to sep. the camp us, the exhibi ts, and lhe football ga me under idea l circumstances .

M ost of the guests spent the morning looking over the mall Y engineering exhi bits that we re prepared by the students. Every departm ent in school put on an interesti n a display, and the entire exhibit was judged to be the best the school has ever made. A squ <td of combat engineers was sent from Fort W ood to display and demonstrate the equipment of an engineer battalion. The highway patrol also responded to a request for special disp lays, and sent an offi cer to disp lay special crime detecting equip ment that is used by the state highway p atrol. Every lab on the ca mpus was in ope ration, and it required mo t of the morning for the guests to see all the exhi bits.

Placement is Reaching New High This Year This year's placement record is surmounting all previous ones at the School of M ines. D uri ng the first se mester seven compa nies interviewed students and made offers of jobs to about thirty-nine seniors. The visitin a companies we re W e tinghou e E lectric Co., Seagra ms, Inc., R adio C orporation of Am erica, P hill ips Petr leum C o., Allis- C halmers M fg. C o., Bailey M eter C o., and T he Koppe rs C omp.,an y. W estinghouse E lectric C o. offered jobs to eight electncals and seven mechanicals.

Sched ul ed to in terview seni ors in the near future are E<tstm an Kodak C o., T he T exas C o., General Electric C o., Curtis- Wright Ai rcraft C orp., the N aval Air C orps, A luminum Company of A merica, Pratt and Whitney, C arnegie- Illi nois Steel Co., Bethl ehem Steel, Stanolind , and T ennessee C oa l, Iron and R <tilroad C o.

C ompanies have been recruiting men ea rlier than ever before this year, and are taking a greater number of men.

The School offi cials wou ld appreciate the help of any alumnus w ho has suggestions as to placi ng seniors, and will be glad to J 1'range interviews between students and recruiting personnel. Drop a note to Dean Curtis L. Wilson, if you have suagestions to offer.

General A ssembl y for the heating and power plant, and Governor D onnell approved the appropriation. Plans have been drawn and the University Administration has succeeded in securing a favorable priority rating on the equipment. Bids were opened January 27, and on Januar y 31 there will be held , in R olla, a meeting of the Board of Curators to consider letting this contract and to transact all other business that may come before it.

D ean Wilson, a well -known metallurgist who was appointed after a careful and thorough canvass of the field, is rapid ly becom ing acquainted with Missouri and the School of Mines particularly.

W e believe that genuine and sound progress will be made under his administration. The appointment of Dr. Stanley Trengove as C hairm an of the D epartment of Mining, should strengthen the work of that important department. W e cannot over -emphasiz.e the importance of securing outstanding men for faculty posts. The quality of our program wi ll rest primarily on the close cooperation and quality of our staff, both in teaching and research, the standards maintained and the ability of the student body to profit from instruction by inspiring leaders in their field. There ca n be no substitute for such a program of quality in the School of Mines or any other division of the State University.

When he was safely out of the country, he ripped open the flour sack and delivered to the allies a supply of p latin um sufficient to cover their needs for the duration of the war. " Immediately preceding W orld W ar I, G ermany controlled the supply of potash as it was being mined in that country.

Military Department is Gjving Special Lectures to Students In compliance with orders from the W ar Dep artment of the :United States, the military department at the School of Mines is giving a series of lectures to students designed to point out facts and influen ces w hich led up to the present world situation. Attend ance at the lectures is compulsory for all advanced ROTC students, and may be attended by anyone in school. They will be given by the members of the ROTC teaching staff, and outside speakers who are particularly qualified to talk on special subjects.

Th<: object of the lectures is to provide a background for keeping ab reast of all new developments.

Women's Auxiliary of AIME Offers $200 Scholarship The St. Louis Section of the W omen's Auxiliary to the Ameri.can Institute of Mining and M etallurgical Engineers is offering a scholarship to members of the Junior and senior classes of mining, metallurgy, chemistry, and geology .

The scholarship will consist of a $200 award- one-half an outright scholarship, and one-h alf a loan to be repaid wi thout inter.est as soon as possible following gr aduation.

History of MSM is Published November 6 On November 6, 1941 , 70 years after the day the first class met at the Missouri School of Mines, the Phelps C ounty Historical Society published a history of the school that took seven years to write and involved the collection of material from documents and peqp le scattered throughout ,the country.

It is fortunate that the history was written before much more time elapsed , because each day the elements erase some knowledge of the history of the school.

The materi al in the book is gathered from official documents, legislature proceedings, books, newspaper files, letters, and numerous other sources. It was gathered at a great cost of money and time, and incurred a considerable publi shing debt.

Copies of the book may be obtained by sending $5.00 to R ev . O. V. Jackson, Post Office box 528, R oll a, M o.

A 12 Month School Year is Being Considered In view of the fact that the supply of engineers is not suffi cient to meet the demands of defense industries, the administration of the School of M ines is considering holding a summer school session for engineers in order that more technical men may be available for defense purposes. T welve month school years h ave been: adop ted by a number of engineering schools in the east, and others h ave taken steps to speed up their schedule.

In order to determine whether or not the addition of a sum-, mer session is desirable, Dr. C. L. Wilson attached a questionnaire to registration cards at the beginning of the semester, asking how many students would be willing and financially able to carry out such a program. Of 582 students who filled out the questionnaire, 442 expressed a desire to attend summer school, and 120 said they would r ather not. About two-thirds of those who want to attend school said they would need financial assistance.

Knights T emplar Has Loaned $28,000 to MSM Students During the year 1922, the Grand Commander y of Missouri, in cooperation with the Grand Encampment of the United States of America, created the Knights T emplar Educational Foundation of Missouri. This Foundation has had far-reaching influence, 2, 45 5 student residents of Missouri using the $404,236.50 which h as been loaned to date.

On the campus of the Missouri School of Mines, 226 studen ts have received loans totaling $28,022 .00 .
