PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

Additions, Changes and Improvements on Campus Pointed Out by Dean Wilson

By Dean Wilson, Guest Writer

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Alumni who have not visited the campus for some years and even those who were here last year will note a number of additions, changes, and improvements on their next visit.

The new Dormitory costing $600 ,000 is about complete, the furniture has been ordered and is due to arrive earl y in August and the building will be occupied for the first time next Septe mber. It is an imposing structure occupying the west portion of what is known as the hospital lot, ove rl ooking the golf course. While the building is complete in itself, w e l ook upon it as the fir st unit of a series of buildings on this l ot which is so advantageously situated . As the need a rises we hop e to have additional dormitory units to house a tota l of 500 s tudents with a dining hall to accommodate 600 s tudents. Othe r units p lanned for this group include a Student Union building and a fire proof Infirmary.

The present dormitory has comfortable accommodations for 177 students .

The laboratory section of ¡ the $5 00 ,000 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building has now been co mpleted. Much of the laboratory eq uipme nt for this building has been ordered and some h as been delivered. Our Buildings & Grounds D epa rtment, in cooperation with the Faculty of the Mechanical Engineering D epartment, is busy installing this equipme nt and in moving certain pieces from Mechanical Hall to the n e w laboratory. The installation of this equipme nt is more expensive and difficult than it woul d seem on the surface. W e plan to have enough of it installe d in S eptember so that stud ents m a y derive immediate b e nefit from it. Actually we do not ex pect to have it all installed until late in D e cember of this year, even though our crew will work on a two-shift schedule.

As soon as the equipment has b een installed, the Board of Curators plans to call for bids for construction of the front part of the M echanical Engineering Laboratory building. This front por-

D ean Wilson is the second guest writer for the Presid ent's column. H e tells u s of the n ew construction and relocation of D epartments in the post war p eriod.

A lot

Dean Curtis L. Wilson has b een accomplished. Whe n buildings now planned are a reality and th e essential equipme nt is in place, our alma mater w ill b e bette r housed and equipped for instruction and research than e v e r in its history .

The campus changes since 1945 are already so great that all alumni should r e turn to see them. Homecoming, Oct. 27-28, will b e a n ideal time for the visit, as you will a lso see m any of your classmates and ol d friends. E ac h yea r the number r e turning at Homecoming has increased.

Won't yo u j oin us this year?

Professor J. D . Forrester will be our next guest writer .

H e w ill choose his subject.

W ear e looking forward to his message.

M. J . Kelly '14 President, MSM Alumni Association.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

tion w ill b e two stories in h eight and will house offices, classrooms, and d esign rooms. When a ll of this has b een completed the Mechanical Enginee ring D epartm e nt will have as fine facilities as can be found, wi th few exce ptions, in any unive r sity in the country.

As announced by Presid ent Fred e rick A. M iddlebush in the March-April 1950 edition of the MSM Alumnus, we expect the Board of Curators to request l egislative appropri ations for an other unit of th e Engineering L aboratories project to be built i m m e d i ate I y north of the M echanical En gineering Laboratory building. This n e w unit w ill b e devoted primarily to Electrical Engineering and Mechanics and should provide equally fine facilities for these two important engineering departm ents.

W hen Electrical Engineering moves out of Norwood Hall , the D epartment of Physics can expand and occupy a ll of the first floor and b asement of Norwood Hall.

Mechanical Hall will receive new occupants sometime during the 1950-51 academic year. An allotment of $ 125 ,000 has been made by the Board to r e mode l the first floor of Mechanical Hall for the D e partment of Mining Engineering. Mining w ill continue to occupy the prese nt Mining Building (formerly used as a war ehouse) and in addition there will b e erected an ann ex which will connect the present Mining Building with M echanic a l Hall .

Specifications call for an outlay of $50 ,000 for this a nnex. With these new and e nlarged quarters, an d with the School Mine now in excellent shape, our Mining D ep a rtment can continue its fine record of instruction an d r esea rch.

The D epartment a lready has one importa nt r esea r ch project sponsored b y the Engineer s Corps R esear ch a nd D evelopement L aboratory of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, which work has b een done at the School Mine. The Engineer s Corps h as r equested t hat this proj ect b e r e n ewed for anoth er two yea r s a nd an extension of the r esear ch work is b e ing don e unde r the supe rVISIOn of our Mining D epartme nt at Granite v ille , Missouri. In addition , th e Engineers Corps h as requested that our Mining Depa rtment take still another r esearch proj e ct of R e (Continued on N e xt Page)

Th e Drawing D epartment will move into the second floor of M chanical H a ll as soon as th e Mechanical Engin eering D epartme nt has move d into its n ew building. Then the D epartmen t of G eology can take over t he pr sent quarter s occ upi ed by th Drawing D epartment and be more com f ortably a nd adequately housed on the second and third floors of Norwood H a ll.

Visiting a l umni w ill miss the creaking sta irs of Norwood Hall which are now b eing replaced with fir eproof steel stairways at a cost of $25,000.

Th e Experim ent Station building will present a n e w look to visiting a lumni. At a cost of $125, 000 a n a nnex on the east sid e is presently und er constr uction. Th e east section of t h e Exp riment Statio n Building, formerly occupied by the U. S . Bur ea u of Mines , is bein g exte nsive-

ly remodel ed into excellent l aboratories for Metallurgy. Cera mics w ill der ive some b en efit from this remodeling. Durin g the month of A ugust, 1950 , the entire Me tallurgy D epartment moved to the Experiment Station and that will be its futur e home .

Visiting a l umni will fi nd Cap Hanley in the first office on th e . right as y ou enter th e front part of the Exper iment Sta tion Buil ding. W e hope th a t enough of the r emod el ing will b e comple ted b y Homecoming of 1950 to give a n idea of the adva nta ges of the new quar ter s.

The D epartmen t of M echanics is moving to the Me tallurgy buildin g. B eca use of the large enrollment, tha t D ep a rtment will occ upy al most all of the offices and cla ssrooms of the Metallurgy b uilding. T h e Mechanics l aboratories will be housed in the east wing. Civil Engin eering w ill use the space in H a rris H a ll for m erly occupied by the Mech anics laboratory.

To provide more space for th e Library, the offices of the Veterans Administration have moved out of Parker Hall to the Metal-

lurgy b uilding. T h e vacated space in Parker Hall w ill provid e additiona l stack room for the Library and will a lso provide at l east three more confe r ence rooms for ind ustrial p er sonnel who interview graduating seniors about jobs. This will solve a problem for R ex W illiams who has h ad to sch edul e interviews on t h e a uditorium stage, in the ba lcony of the a uditorium, and in other nooks a nd corner s around the campus. Th e Business Office w ill also profit by this r emod eling of the basement of Parker Hall. It will give the Business Office more adeq uate space and arr a ngem ent.

With l arger enrollment, Ve terans contra cts, sponsore d res ea r c h projects, and improved business m ethods, the Business Office has b een forc e d to expand as the School has expanded. It is rendering excellent service which is not easily r ecognized in passing.

The C h e m i c a l Engin eering building h as been completed on the outsid e. The comple tion of the so uth portion came at a time when building costs skyrocketed.

ordered its completion as originally des i g ned . Appropriated funds were not sufficient to complete the interior.

The la r ge Chemistry lecture room in the new building is b a r e even to a dirt floor. The top floor h as no h eating, plumbing, or el ectrica l facilities a nd canno t be u sed. The other two floors h ave offices and classrooms completed but the laboratory rooms do n ot h ave labor ator y desks. A req u est w ill doubtless be made of the Misso uri L egislature for around a quarter of a million dollars to complete the eq uipment of the Chemical Engineering building.

For the Athletic D ep artm ent, th e golf course is now being enl arged to 18 holes, and the gymnasium floor h as been completely r epla ced with a new floor which meets all modern specifications. W e had planned to r emove the t empor a r y dormitories on the upp er athl etic field and place that field back into u se for intra mural sports . Until the possibility of another war becomes more r emote, we must hold these temporary barracks a while l onger .

The D epartment of Humanities occupies a ll of Chief Buehler's former domicile , the Rolla Building, which was remodeled a few years ago to provide 12 classrooms and a number of fac ulty offices.

Mathematics is in the old Chemistry Building and the Military D epartment has a two stor y barracks building built on a reinforced concrete basement which provides two r ifle ranges .

Many of the a bove mentioned projects will be either completed or well under construction b y Homecoming n ext fall, thanks la rg ely due to the keen interest and able direction of L eslie Cowan, Vice President of the University . The completion of a ll of them, except the add itiona l dormitories a nd Student Union , is expected within the next two yea r s at which time Missouri S chool of Mines and Metallurgy should have a plant of which we hope you will a ll b e proud .

In the last nine years I have h ad the honor of signing 2721 diplomas for m en who have h ad degrees conferred upon them in 20 commenceme nts. Of this numb er, exactly 2500 have r eceived their first or B .S. degree. Thus well over h a lf of all alumni have

graduated in th e last nine years .

H aving had the opportunity to observe these r e cent gradu ates, I am confi dent that their achievements w ill eventu a lly compare favorabl y with those of old er a lum ni.

The f u ture of MSM can be proj ected from a well establish ed basis . Wi th a n excellent plant, w ith our l oyal and compettent F aculty, and w ith a vigorous student bod y for which MSM has a lways b een noted, yo ur School is in t h e b est p osition in its history to render service to the engineering profession and to our coun try in war or in peace.

B. J. Gross Heads Alloy Castings Institute B ernard J . Gross '33 has been elected President of the Alloy Castings Institu te, according to a r ecent anno u ncement in t h e n ewspapers. This institute direct s d evelopment an d r esea rch on high a llo y steel castings as r equired to resist corrosion and withstand high temperatures. B enny's elec-

tion took place at the ann u a l m eeting of the institute at Hot Springs, Virginia. H e has been a m ember of the Board of Director s for the past yea r .

B enny's company, Key Comp any, B ox 494 , East St. Louis, Illinois, m anufactures oil r efiner y equipment using a lloy steel casting. Their f acilities consist of a complete engineerin g d epartment with a machine shop a lld a modern el ectric steel foundr y for producing these items . In addition to their own production which is a high pressure- temperature type of casting, they a lso produce carbon and a lloy steels of the stainl ess type for other manufacturers .

Their steel foundry specia lizes principally in the manufacture of press ure-tempera ture castings such as specia l valve bodies and so forth.

In school , B enny served as President of the St. Pats' Boa rd , President of the Theta T au Fraternity , Capta in of the B a sketball team, and Treasurer of the Mer cier Club.

departments. The buildings were being constructed, the equipment was on order, the layouts for the installations of the equipments were a matter of record on blue prints, etc. That's pretty much of a " United Nations" d eal.

Karl Hasselmann and I visited Rolla and Columbia and w e strongly urged that the required inspections be deferred until this fall when buildings will have been constructed and equipment will have been installed.

This " ultimatic" suggestion was most enthus iastically received by Dean Wilson, and by President Middlebush and Vice-President Cowan.

(All of whom had b een under pressure for the earliest possible inspection. ) Inspection of two of these departments will be made during October of this year. All hands are geared in the direction of doing their damnedest to obviate a n y possibility of any detail robbing us of this, our big opportunity. Professors Miles and Schrenk are keyed to the occasion-this is their big chance and they fully reali ze it.

ENDOWMENT FUND About four years ago , Karl Hasselmann, Carl Stifel, and I , spent a lot of time and effort to not only set-up a new Constitution and by-laws, but a lso an Alumni Endowment Fund. The aims of this Endowment Fund are described in the last Alumni Directory. Briefly, the income from the fund is used to provide scholarships, fellowships, r esearch work, and special instructions for M.S.M . a nd its student body. Carl Shfel and I had to appear before the Court in St. Louis as a pair of " Amicus Curia" and swear that the performa decree, which we were about to b e granted, would not b e the basis for "buying athl etes, etc."

The main idea of the endowment fund was to give opportunities to our members who felt they wanted to extend themsel ves somewhat b eyond those of us whose current commitments just en able us to pay our du es.

Carl Stifel has some interesting poten tial possibilities in connection with the Fund ; they run into five figures. Karl H asselman , who is in that geographical area of "depletions", likewise, h as about ripened a few sources which will b ecome productive. Many of these

sources of endowment depend upon accreditation , and, upon 1 a r g e percentage membership unity.

RELATIONSHIPS

We have grown from a School which for m any years has h ad enrollments of 500 or under, to a School of 2000 and upward.

That becomes rather big business!

R elationships, n aturally also , stepup in importance. W e've got to continue to do a job up on the Missouri State L egisl ature for appropriations, and we've got to continus to do a job upon the Board of Curator s so that we obtain our fair shake on the amou n t of money appropriate d. This is a matter of r elationship . Without a doub t, in the S tate of Missouri , t h e Columbia contingent has preponderance b y virtue of t h e enormity of numbers of graduates.

Ther e isn't a hamle t in Missouri which does n ot conta in Missouri University graduates. These gradu ates are active, and the L egislature r eacts to the power of th is distribution. Our grad u ates are a dispersed lot. B rainey , but d isp ersed. It then f a lls upon those of us who are p la nted here, to k eep the character of the situation up to par.

Our relationship w ith Missouri University has been excellent.

(As a matter of fact , several Missouri University Alumni have asked me how we g et so much attention.) W e' r e getti ng a fa ir shak e f rom there -but-the larger our membership, the gr eater is our bargaining position.

The present B oard of Curators h ave gone on r ecord , through their President, Senator McReynolds, as h ea rtil y supporting an " Equa l Rights" p r ogram for M.S.M. Our officer s, certainly , w ill obtain a similar statement of creed from succeeding Boards in the future.

So, we've got to k eep on our to es in our r elatio n ship s with those who can help or hurt u s.

Y our officer s are a l ive to this situation , and , while at tim es we might seem to be l eaning backwards to accomplish our purposes, you' ve got to place y our trust in us, (o r somebody.) This tr mt w ill n ot be viola ted , because , after a ll, w e have the sam e obj ectiv e:> as you have, and w ill "pl ay our h ands-out", but we're a lso fl exible enough to ch ange our tactics
