M. s. M. and the War Effort The Missouri School of - I, Mines is taking its place along with other technical institutions in the United States in providing speciali"ed training and carrying on research to assist in war effort, accord ing to Dean Curtis L. Wilson. The school is cooperating with the U.S. Office of Education in conducting certain intensive engineering courses in Engineering, Science, and M anagement Defense Program Training. These courses I are of college grade, but no credi't toward a degree is granted. So far, over 350 students have enrolled in this program at M .S.M . Practically all of the 350 who satisfactorily completed the trainE . w. Ca rlton, Professor of Structural En- ¡ h bId' . I g ineering at the School of Mines, has been Ing ave een p ace In vIta ele ct ed Vice-President of Dis trict Six of the defense industries or with Amen ca n Cong ress of Su rvey ing and Map- h . pi ng, being elec ted in J u n ~ at the apnual meet- t e government agenCIes enIng of the Cong ress h eld m Washmgton,D.C. gaged with the w ar effort. Professor E. W. C arlton is supervising this program here. Another popular war effort training program is the Civil Pilot Training Program under the direction of Dr. A. ]. Miles. Here 168 students have taken the elementary course, 40 have taken the secondary course, making a total of 208 students. Of these 180 have received their pilot's certificate. M any of these boys who have completed this training are now in the Armed Air Forces as combat pilots, transport pilots and instructors. (Con ti n u ed o n Page 4)
Chicago Section Meeting The Chicago Section of the Alumni A ssociation held a meeting at the M edical A r ts Building on the evening of June 16. About forty members of the Chicago Section were present. D. E. Howerton , Chairman of the Section, presided. The principal talk of the evening was made by Dean Curtis L. -, Wilson, who told of the progress at the School of Mines during , the past year, and also explained to the alumni something of the provisions of the will of the late Henry E. Sever, who left an amount of money for the establishment of the foundation to promote an Instl tute of T echnology in the State of Missouri .. R everend O . V. Jackson, of Rolla, Chairman of the Phelps C ounty Committee for the H enry E. Sever Estate, was also present and spoke briefly. Gunnard Johnson, Vice-President of the 'Alumni A ssociation was one of those present and is assisting Dean Wilson, Reverend Jackson and others in promoting interest in the School of Mines in connection with the Sever Estate.

1942 Commencement The largest class in the history of the School of Mines received degrees on M ay 1, 1942, the C ommencement having been moved to that date from M ay 27 in order to let the graduates be available for work in the war industries. The urgent demand for men trained in engineering led the Faculty to make this change. The Baccalaureate address was given by Dr. Joseph C . Cleveland, Pastor of the Community Church in Kansas City, Missouri, his subject being, " C ourage Is N ot Enough. " These exercises were held on Sunday, April 26. On A pril 30 the Faculty gave its annual reception to students, parents and visitors, followed by the Commencement Ball. The C ommencement Exercises were held this year in the new Uptown Theater, which has seating accommodations for a larger group than could be provided for on the campus. Even at that, there was standing room only in the theater. The Commencement address was delivered' by Dr. Clinton H . Crane, President of the St. Joseph Lead Company of N ew York City, his subject being, " Life, Liber ty and the Pursuit of H appiness." Following Dr. Cra ne's address, Dean C urtis L. Wilson spoke briefly to the graduating class, thanking them for their cooperation during his first year as the head of the school. The various department chairmen then presented candidates for degrees to Dr. Frederick A. Middlebush, President of the U niversity, who conferred the degrees, Brigadier General U. S. Grant, III, Com(Continued on Page 4)

Miners in Armed Forces An in creasingly large number of the Miners are giving an acco unt of themselves in the armed service of our country, according to Dean Curtis L. W ilson. Dean Wilson stated that approximately 25 % of those who graduated in 1942 went into the armed service either as Second Lieutenants in the Reserve Corps, Second Lieutenants in the Signal Corps, the various Air Corps or other branches of the ervice. In all of these branches the M iners are giving an excellent account of themselves. The heroic conduct of Lieut. George B. Munroe of the class of '40 recentl y attracted considerable attention. George was N avigator on a Flying Fortress which took part in a bombing r aid on a Japa nese transport. Just as it arrived over the target the p lane was attacked by five Japa nese aircraft , two of whi ch the Fortress shot dow n. The gas supply of the Fortress ran low and it was forced to land in a wamp. Lieut. Munroe and his seven companions hacked their way through the jungle so dense that they traveled only eight miles in four days. The group was finally rescued by a plane sent out from Australia. Lieut. Bob Silhavy '41, was in the Phi lippines at the time the Japs struck there. Lieut. Silhavy made a sprint of 100 yards under enemy fire to place the charge of dynamite under a bridge. Bob was separated from the main forces of the United States Army, and with a small group of men was for thirty days behind the lines of the Japa nese forces, walking nearl y 350 miles before they were fin ally able to re join the main force. Bob was with General W ainwright at the ti~e of the surrender at Bataan, and is now reported as missing, presumably a prisoner of wa r. George Allison Whiteman '39, was recentl y cited for courage in action. George was in the Air C orps at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack, and was the first casualty from Missouri. H e was kill ed by machine gun fire while attempting to get his plane off of the field at Pear l H arbor. N o doubt, many other incidents exist of similar bravery in action. The alumni offici als would like very much to collect these incidents for the alumni records. Alumni knowing of such incidents are urged to write details to H oward Katz;, Secretary-Treasurer of the Alumni A ssociation at Rolla.
War Program Delaying Construction of Power Plant Difficulty with priority r atings may prevent the erection of the new power plant at the School of Mines and M etallurgy during the p resent year, according to Dean Curtis L. Wilson. Dean Wilson, in reviewing the history of the new building said that the Sixty-first General A ssembl y appropriated the sum of $225,000.00 for the construction of the heating and power plant at the school of Mines and M etallurgy to replace the old and obsolete plant now in operation there. This appropriation was not made avail able until July 30, 1941. Imm ediatel y thereafter the Curators of the University employed an engineer and architect to make a careful study of the design of the equip ment and building. Before the engineer and architect were able to complete the p lans and specifications and the Board to advertise for and receive bids for the construction of the heating and power plant, the Federal Government was forced, because of the defense program, to place restrictions on the type of materials needed in the heating and power p lant and required applications fo r use of such materials. The Board immediately made app lication to the Offi ce o f Prod uction M anage ment of the Federal Government for permission to proceed with the construction of the heating and power plant. These negotiations were begun in O ctober , 1941 and were completed Jan uary 8, 1942. During this time there wa continuous correspondence between the Uni versity and the Office of Production M anage ment. Several trips to W ashington , D .C. were made by representatives of the University in the endeavor to secure authority to proceed with the wor k. Authority was granted Janu ary 8, 1942. This authority at this
R. S. Dean '15, Made Assistant Director Bureau of Mines R . S. Dean ' 15, formerly head of the M etallurgical Division o f th e Unit e d States Bureau of Mines and stationed in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been made A ssistant Director of the Bureau of Mines. Dr. Dean graduated in 191 5 and received his M aster's Degree in 191 6 and M e tallurgical Engineer's D egree in 1922. Later , he received a D octor of Science Degree from the University of M aryland. Dr. Dean is the son of the late Professor George R . Dean, for many years head of the mathematics departmentat the School of Mines. R. S. Dean Dr. Dean will make his headquar ters at Washington, D.C.
time was considered sufficient by the W ar Production Board to permit the prompt erection of the plant and it was then anticipated that the plant would be in operation by the beginning of the heating season 1942 -4 3. Bids were opened in Rolla on Januar y 27, 1942 for boilers and a generator. The Babcock and W ilcox Company of N e.w York City submitted the lowest bid on the boilers which hid was accepted by the Board. A contract was entered into immediately with the Company, which started at once on the fabrication of the boilers. The companies bidding on the electrical generating unit were not able to guarantee delivery within the biennial period. The Board attempted to arrange with these companies and the Feder al Government for the purchase and delivery of materials in tim e to manufacture the generator wi thin the present biennial period . H owever, it was unsuccessful in securing a release of the necessary materials. Therefore, it was necessary to abandon the purchase of the generator during the present biennial period. The boiler company p roceeded promptly with the work of making the boilers, but in April , 1942 reported that because of the shortage of materials (boiler plates being used for the manufacture of tanks, etc.) it was not able to proceed with the fabri cation of the boilers unless a higher priority r ating was secured. Representatives of the University again made additional trips to W ashington to take this matter up in person with representatives of the War Production Board , but on April 10, 1942 the Chief of the Division of Governmental Requirements of the W ar Production Board advised as follows: ..... " The boiler plate which yo u refer to is under allocations and it is not possible to iss ue a priority rating sufficiently high for the purchase of this material. It can be secured onl y through allo,. ca tion and the allocation of thi material is now being granted to the direct war effort. In other words, steel p lates are all being made into ships and tanks so that we may complete the war effort as rapidly as possible." . .. . . " Perhaps at some future date, we Illay be able to render to you the necessary assistance for the purchase of this material, but for the present, we suggest that you defer it and bring it to our attention later on, after we have accomplished the task we are now confronted with ; that is, puttin g the Japs and Germans back in their hole." . .... Si¡n ce this decision has bee n received, addi tional trips have been made to W ashington by University Officials to confer with the

W ar Prod uction Board Officials. In each case, those officials, while considering the matter , advised the University, that at the present, they were unable to allocate materials to the University for the purpose needed. In the meantime, arrangements have been made with the boiler company to hold the contract with the hope that tre company may be able to fabricate the boilers the latter part of this year. It will not be possible now, however, to erect the building and install the boilers for the next heating season. Arrangements are now being made to recondition this summer the present boilers and electrical generating equipment in order that this old equipment may be put in the best possible condition for use during the next heating season and pending the completion of the new heating and power plant.

M.S.M. and the War Effort (Co n t inued fr o m P age 1)
Another program of very great importance to the war effort on the campus is that being carried on by the United States Bureau of Mines O re Dressing Section in cooperation with the State Miw ing Experiment Station here. It involves research, testing and analytical work to arrive at methods, processes and plant prospectuses pertaining to the recovery of strategic war minerals essentially from low grade deposits and mineralized zones. M anganese minerals in particular are sought. This has made necessary many laboratory changes in the Bureau of Mines building, and the staff of the United States Bureau of Mines has been increased to appf()ximately 50 members working on the campus here, under the direction of S. M . Shelton , Supervising Engineer. The T opogr aphic and M apping Section of the United States Geological Survey under the direction of C. L. Sadler and the W ater Resource Branch under H enry C . Beckman here are also making substantial contributions towa rd the war effort. In addition to the above, Dean Wilson pointed out that ap p roximately 25% of the gradu ating seniors went into the Armed Services in various capacities, and the remainder into defense industries as engineers, all adding, the Dean stated, to the immediate task of our country in its defense progr am. .
1942 Commencement ( Conti nu ed from P age 1)
manding Officer of the Engineer Replacement Training Center at Fort Leonard W ood, Missouri, presented commissions to the R eserve Offi cers. Fifty year alumni pins were presented to the living members of the cl ass of 1892, these being D. C . Jackling, E. M . Johnson and F. L. T yrrell. Johnson and T yrrell were present. Mr. Jackling could not be here on account of other business. There was a total of 202 degrees granted, among them, the degree of Doctor of Engineering (Honoris Causa) which was cow ferred upon Dr. Crane, the Commencement speaker.
Fred Waring Broadcasts New M.S.M. Song An invitation to the Alumni in the M etropolitan Area to attend Fred W aring's Broadcast of his new School of Mines song on April 24, brought a group of fifteen to the V anderbilt Theatre on W est 48th Street, N ew York City. Present were : O. D. N eal ' 14, and Mrs. N eal ; James L. H ead ' 16; M ajor H oward]. T eas ' 17 , and Mrs. T eas; Walter E. Remmers '23, and Mrs. Remmers; C arlos G . Bowers '2 4, of La Paz, Bolivia; W . A. Schaeffer , Jr. '2 4, Mrs. Schaeffer and two children, W . A. III and C arolyn ; E. A. Crawford '29 and Mrs. Crawford ; Mrs. Josephine Ellis M cCarthy , wife of F. M. M cCarthy, ex ' 30. A special section of front row seats had been set aside for M.S .M . Alumni. It is to be regretted that a large number did not take advantage of the opportunity to be present, because the broadcast portion of the program, which lasted only fifteen minutes, was fo llowed by a three-quarter hour show, staged by the band, glee club and songsters, and Mr. W aring acting as Master of Ceremonies. " Dex" N eal '14 , whose chemical research since graduation has not enabled him to grow any more hair than when he was at Rolla, was a conspicuous figure in the bald -head row and found himself an unexpectant participant in the entertainment. The group was invited to remain after the performance and the accompanying photograph with Mr. W aring was taken. The party was continued through dinner at a nearby hotel.
