I n a weak and soft-h eart ed mom en t vour offic e r s and dir ec tor s agreed to s hare with on e K. F. H.

The in exorable and unr e le ntin g fin ge r now P011lt s to y our p e r e nnial Vic e Pres id ent for hi s co ntr ibution to thi s in va luabl e vad e m ec um of a lumni lor e. A nd he is so unima g'inativ e as to b e un ab le to think of any topic but your A ss ocia tion and y our r elatio ns to it.

We can accept th e fact that th e As sociation is now a we lles tablished organization with clearly defin ed polici es and d efinit e aims. Th ese policie s and aim s hav e b ee n takin g s hap e s inc e th e fall of 1941 when th e A ssociation was r eorganized und e r th e lea der s hip of Ca rl G. Stife l ' 16.

T he Jam es Foundation is the adm ini s trati ve agency in Mi ssouri.

Th e Maram ec Iron Work s, founded by Thoma s Jam es and Samuel M assey, produce d it s fir s t iron on April 9, 1829, a littl e mor e than 118 years ago. F rom th e dat e of th e fir s t pourin g until 1874, wh e n th e plant wa s clo sed b eca use it wa s no lon ge r profitable , th e Maram ec Iron \,york s pla ye d an important rol e in Mi ss ouri minin g , s m e ltin g , and iron produc ts manufac tur e.

Th e work b e in g car ri ed on at th e Mar a m ec prin gs tract today wi ll a ss ur e f utur e s tud e nt s of minin g and hi s tory an opportunity to s tudy th e r e main s of on e of the midw es t 's earli es t iron work s.

Th e iron work s pla ye d an important role in the lo ca tion of th e iVli ss ouri School of Mines a nd M e tallur gy at Rolla .

Wh e n th e S tat e was see kin g a lo cat ion for th e n ew s c hool mor e th a n 75 yea r s a g o, th e citiz e ns of P he lp s Count y point ed to the Maram ec works as a lo g ic a l rea s on for locatin g th e s c hool within th e county. Th e iron work s, th ey said , would pro v id e a nearb y, practical d em on s tration of iron ore mining, iron s m e ltin g, a nd th e manufactur e of iron imp lem e nt s. Th e s chool wa s s ub se qu ent ly awarded to Rolla, th e town which rai se d th e large s t buildin g fund.

Th e s it e of th e old iron work s is mark ed b y a fe w ca bin s, th e furnac e, fiv e for ge s tack s, and many c rumblin g foundation s. No r es toration work is to b e don e, but the r ema inin g landmark s wi ll b e prese r ved.

Maram ec Spri ng it se lf, which turn e d s ix wate r wheel s whil e the iron work s was in op e ration, is th e s ixth lar gest s prin g in Mi sso uri . Th e s prin g flow s an a ve ra ge of 96,300,000 gal lon s of wat e r dail y. Th e s prin g branch, whic h flow s on ehalf mi le throu g h th e Jam es es tat e to th e Maram ec ri ve r, ha s b ee n s tock ed with rainbow trout and is op e n to publi c fi s hin g w ithout c har ge .

Maram ec Spri n gs ha s lon g bee n a fa vorite rec r ea tion s pot of th e s urroundin g t e rritory. In th e old day s, MSM s tudent s oft e n r e nt ed horse and bu ggy tran s portation from th e Rol la liv e ry s tabl es a nd brou g ht their g irl fri e nd s to iVla ramec for a day 's outin g.
