Along with the service which we have been able to render to the large number of students who came to Rolla for their engineering education, I think that the outstanding credit that made it possible for ~feature of the last decade from M.S.M. , with only temporary dormwhich I derive the greatest satis itory facilities (no permanent) , to faction is the number of graduates have an enrollment of over 2700 ¡ who have gone into industry, restudents, over 800 of whom were search, state and federal governmarried, many with several small ment service, and into the military children. With a faculty of over service of our country . In the last 170 , and a 'staff of more than 130 , 10 years I have had the honor , and most of them married and with I consider it a -great honor, to sig n 3309 diplomas, 3029 of which have been first or Bachelor of Science degrees. In its 80-year history the School has issued 6182 diplomas, of which 5463 have been first or Bachelor of Science degrees. Thus , well over half of all the graduates have completed their work in the last 10 years, and it would seem safe that of all the graduates of M.S .M . living today, about % of them have been students here_ dur ing the past 10 years. Like those graduates of previous years, these men are accomplishing great things and thereby are bringing still greater glory to their Alma Mater.

MSM and Rolla --- Dean Wilson Reviews

Progress of School During Last Decade

By Curtis L. Wilson " It was ten years ago today that I received my appointment as Dean of Missouri School of Mines.

It would be very interesting to me to review the progress of the School of Mines during the past ten years. I am afraid that I am the only one to whom it would prove interesting, at least right now, so I shall not spend too much time on that phase, - only a few poin ts.

You know the enrollment figures from a pre-war maximum of about 900 students to over 2700 students on the campus at one time, in the fall of 1948. Many colleges doubled their pre-war enrollment figures, but M.S.M. holds the record for the country in tripling enrollment. Such a tremendous increase was made possible only by the cooperation of the people of Rolla.

When our enrollment took its first big jump to 2200 in 1946, the U. S. Bureau of Mines moved into its new building and vacated the Experiment Station building for student use . The Missouri Geological Survey moved into its new building in the fall of 1946, releasing the whole of the Rolla building which provided some 14 fine classrooms.

You may recall that we had to postpone 2 weeks the opening of the 1946 fa 11 semester to get some of the buildings in readiness . The U. S. G eological Survey moved of[ the campus to the former CCC buildings near the Fair Grounds , so that we might have still more space .

And the people of Rolla , urged by the Chamber of Commerce and the local newspapers, converted everyth ing possible into rooms and apartments for students. The University authorities, under Leslie Cowan , secure d for us temporary classroom buildings, apartments, barracks, and faculty houses . All together we have over 30 temporary buildings on the campus, placed advantageously where they do not detract from the beauty of the campus and yet are close enough to be part and parcel of our campus community , and 16 faculty apartments on Nagogami Court.

It was with this type of cooperation, for which the Chamber of Commerce can claim considerable

Dean Curtis L. Wilson families it is reasonable to estimate that the School of Mines folks added between 4000 and 5000 people to the populqtion of Rolla - and over $250 ,000 a month.

That figure has dropped since 1948, and while Rolla has scarcely noticed the drop, largely because of the growth of the U.S.G.S . and the reactivation of Fort Leonard Wood, yet I do not hestit ate to pred ict that in another decade the M.S.M. population will have returned to and even exceeded its 1948 figure. So I ask the Rolla Chamber of Commerce today, August 1, 1951 , to look ahead to the fall of 1961 and start to think about taking care of a greater M .S.M. than ever before, with a student enrollment of 3000 or more, with a larger permanent faculty and staff who will be looking upon Rolla as their permanent home. With a greater School and with the other fine institutions in Rolla , to continue to think of Rolla as a town of 10 ,000 inhabitants is dangerously conserva ti v e.

The MSM Alumni Association , not only through the addition of these younger men but because of the loyalty and determination of older graduates, has become a well organized and influential group which is rendering real service to the students and ¡g raduates of M.S.M. Their membership is scattered, as you would expect, but sections are organized and functioning in various parts of the country.

The building program has made good progress during the past 10 years and this progress has been made because of close cooperation of University authorities, particular'y President Frederick A . Middlebush, who has dreamed great things for M.S .M. , and these dreams are materializing gradually in a vitalized program and also in a more adequate physical plant. With the support of the State legislature , we h-ave built a modern power p'ant, a permanent dormitory and a new Mechanical Engineerin;:; building. We have largely completed the remaining half of the Chemical Engineering building. With $165,000 of other money , not State appropriations, we have added an annex to th e Experiment Station building with 14 ,000 additional square fee ' for Metallurgy a nd (Continue d on Pa ge 11 )

Commencement --- A Pause for Orientation, 1951 Summer Graduates Are Told

By Dr. Daniel Kennedy It has been twen ty-five years since I sat as a senior in this a uditorium to receive , as you will today, a degree. Were I to b e asked what one thing stands out most since that time, I would without hesti :a bon say, "The time p assed qui ckly. " Such an observation , however, would hardly suffice as the r eason for m y b e ing h ere. Sure ly , somewher e along the paths, I should have gath er e d some bit of information that will b e of valu e to y ou y o-ung er travelers toda y.

If yo u will permit me to think as one of you today , the first item of importance is getting the right kind of job. Twenty-five yea rs ago , this required very little st udy b ecause jobs were few and offers were f ewer , and one's prime objective was to get on a payroll so that eating, as a habit, could be continued . Today it seems that our ma in job prob'em is de ciding whether t h e job with the " Cadillac" is b e tter than the one with the " Packard" or that either of them is as good a s the one wit h the " hou se and servants." Seriously, v er y few look at themselves twenty years hence and , in considering a job today , wonder what it w ill b e then. Today yo u have y outh and a re in a p eriod when technica l h elp is in short suppl y. Tomorrow it ma y b e another story. Surel y yo u will lose y our youth and then, quite possibly , more yo un g men will b e available than today. You are bu y ing a future when yo u sell you r services toda y . Rate the p ay offers against the avera路ge an d find out if the rate offered is much high er than average. If so , why is it that yo u are offered such high prem iums?

Don 't l et flattery foo l yo u , for no t many of you a r e worth pre mium prices on yo ur present ability.

Af te r y ou get the ri ght job, take effectiv e steps to d ev elop it. Most of you will be on a salary , and r emember that it is sp elle d S-A-LA -R-Y. Some confuse it with P-E-N-S-I-O-N , although it's not synonymous . If you were startin g a business and were smart, y ou woul d put part of yo ur ea rnings back into the business. You would buy good fixtur es yo u would ad -

v ertise, a nd y ou would watch a fter y ou help. The r e should not be any change in this type of t hinking as you 路go on a salaried job. You are the business . You should study and r ea d to improve your abilities ; yo u should j o in technical societies, wear n ea t clothes, take p art in community a ffairs , a nd do e ver y thing pos-

Dr. 路 Daniel Kenned y s ible to f urther yo ur organization so that yo u ma y be fur th e r e d . R emember th at yo ur sa lary is yo u r bu sin ess ear nin gs a nd t h at yo ur business is yo u . D evelop and yo u ad v ance. T a k e things fo r granted a nd yo u , as someon e r ecently state d , fade away. If yo u want evidence . go to so m e firms with l a r ge e mplo y m e nt. You w ill see the ones who 路h av e 1r eated salary as a pension, w ho thought that sa lary r eceived was ne ver to b e partly put back into the ir jobs .

Most e mplo y m ent h as ph ases. In e n g ineerin g, one had a tra ining phase, then a journeyma n ' period , a nd th e n management. Each one is ch aracterized b y a difference in types of duties and r esponsibilities.

During the training p eriod , the spe c ifi c r equire m ents of yo ur empl oy-

9

ment ar e d eveloped . H ere you l earn the practical application of theory a nd d ev elop the manual d exterity required . Whe n the journeyman stage is reached, y ou are competent, throu gh schoolin g a nd training , to cope with all the operational prob l e m s of yo ur job. You ar e here the b est-worker type. Time , in years of e xperi ence, now do es not mean much toward yo ur advancement b ecause yo u know all the job requires an d a r e, ther efor e , proficien t .

It is h ere that the smart individual begins checking his assets. The n ext step up the la dd er is a dministration , a nd h er e one meets h is f irst real challenge. Can h e h a ndle m en ? I suppose more m e n stop at this part of the ir d evelopment than at an y other. One cannot adva n ce to th e executive category today b y b eing a good, industriou s worker . In m y chosen f ield , a m a n may b e one of the b est topographic en gineer s, and yet, because h e cannot handle groups, h e stays in the journeyman gr a d e.

While such m en a r e themselves mostly to blame , part of t h e blame can go to management. Today's m anagem ent push es d evelo pment progra m s aimed at up gradin g the workers more t h a n th e manage ment of p ast yea r s did . This is du e to two conditions . It is n atural to good m anage m ent, but it is a lso neces sary in present-day organization t o t r a in exe cutives as well as new emp loyees. In f act, today's business proble m s, ever ch a n g ing to meet t h e t echnological adva nces a nd competiti on , r equire constant tra in ing cou r ses at all l evels . To fail to r ecognize th is r equirement is tragic in that it leads to bu siness extinc tio n. Top administration , or man age m ent as it is called , is a subj ect beyond the obj ective of today's ta lk , for by the time yo u all have rea che d the a ge requirement for such responsibi li ty, you w ill have forgotten me and m y subj ect.

Ther e is much to b e done if en gin eers a r e to gain their proper place in today's affairs. E ac h year more en gineers go into mana'ge m en t , ofte n in position s no t allied with the What's the News?

engineering field . In addition to ful filling the requirements of business, they are expected to serv e more on local community problems. New school s, churches, sanitary system s, and oth er problems of local government require effort and clear th inking. As these obligations mo un t and the individ u al accepts them, he som etimes meets opposition from gro ups in wholly un expected places . This is a natural developm e nt. Anyone who achi eves emin~ e nce in any field is usua lly a subject of criticism. It is a natural condition and should not d e ter those who have the whole h earted intere sts of our country at heart.

Engineers, by the n atur e of their p r ofession , diffe r in practice from t hose in l aw and medicin e in that: t h e ir efforts a r e dire cte d to proj ect s affecting groups, whereas the doctor of l awyer i s concerned more with th e individual. It coul d b e that the ir personal contacts with t hose w h om th ey h elp have rai sed the esteem of th ese l atte r professions a nd , likew ise , th e monetary r e ward .

Conversely, th e l ac k of this personal contact ma y accou nt for th e small number of e n gin eers in th e high income gro up. The condition, h owever ca u sed, should make us redou ble our efforts to inform the public of the r es ponsibilities in o ur Na t ional lif e th at depe nd on the engin eer .

I was impressed at the speaker's fir st re marks during the dedication ceremonies. He said, " We are h ere today to ded icate a proj ec t which man y have said could n't and shouldn't a nd wouldn't be built," and h e paid tribute to t h ose who had t h e co ur age to pursu e th e ir dreams.

Chemical

Engineering Building

You know the history of the Che mical Engineering building.

The State l egislature in 1940 voted a n appropr iation of $250 ,000 for a n ew Chemical Engineerin g build ing. Governor Forrest Donn ell cut this appropriation in half and with $ 125 ,000 the nor th h a lf of the Che mica l Engin eer in g b u ildin g wa s e r ecte d . Some $43 ,000 of othe r fund s w as use d to equip this north h a lf. A f ew years a go the Sta t e l e gislature a ppropria t ed $270 ,000 to comple te t he south half of this b uilding. B y this time construction costs had ri se n so that while the outsid e of the building w a s finish e d , the interior r e maine d incomplet e . The large Chemistry l ecture room has nothing but a dir t floor a nd of course n o seats or other e quipm ent. The en tire top floor of t h e south half is wi t h o ut plumbin g . steam or elec trical f acilities. The la bora tori e s on t h e ot h er floor s a r e w ithou t d esk s a nd l aboratory equipme nt. For t h e 1 95 1-53 bien nium w e have ask ed th e l egisl at ure for $240 ,000 to comple te th e interior of the south h a lf of th e Chemical Engineerin g building a nd the Governor and the dire ctors of t h e budge t have approve d this r e quest. Our Hou se of R epresenta tives h as v oted $200 ,000 for this purpose a nd that H o u se Bill no w a w a its S en a te action . If the S e n a te a cts f a vorabl y w e m ay be able a t lon g last t o comple t e the Ch e m ical E n g in eering build in g .

If w e are ev entua lly su ccessful in obtaining comple ti on of the En'gineering Laboratories p r oj ect a nd th e Ch e mi cal En g in eerin g b uilclin g ,

w e will b e in an excellent position to r ender outstandi ng services to the State of Missouri. I would not b e hone st if I promised that our requ ests will stop ther e. We are still sore ' y in n eed of a building for Geology which is inadequately housed on the second and third floor s of Norwood Hall. G e ology is the v er y foundation of the mineral industries and geologists seem to b e m ore in d e m a nd a ll ove r the country than almost any t y p e of e n gineering. Unless w e train more g eolog ists a nd train them b et ter , the mineral r esources of this country will not be available and if the min er al r esources of other countries are d en ied u s our nation will b e in a cri tica 'ly w eak po si fion. Our nee d for a G e ology building is for instruction p ll rposes and would in no way duplicate the alread y e xcelle nt work b eing done b y the Missouri G eologi cal Survey for the State of Missouri.

The Libra r y of Missouri School of Mines a nd Me tallurgy is one of the b est engin e ering libraries in the world . It contains over 75,000 volume s and w e have never let it fall b ehind in a cquiring the very latest liter a ture and journals of this and other countries. Because of these a cqu isition s s tack space has all b een u sed up and rea ding room a nd stud y f a ciliti es are a lmost non -existen t. Rather than a sk for a n e w Libra r y building , we accept our architect's opinion tha t Parke r Hall could b e r emodeled into an e xcell e nt Librar y building USiI1 g the prese nt auditorium for stack room space a nd a dding r e ad ing rooms a nd wor k rooms insid e the present buildin g . The Board of Cura tors ther efor e h as expresse d the opin ion that w e sh ould ev e ntuall y as k for a n e w auditorium building with a sea tin g capacity of 1200 to 1500 a nd in this a uditorium buil d in g pla ce t h e presen t a dministration offic es.

Rooms for 500 Students Th e present p erm a nent dormitory is but o n e win g of a proj ect which , if ev e ntually comp' e t ed . will pro vide rooms for 500 students a nd dinin g facili 4. ' es for som e 600 stu d ents. W e do not n eed that much at the present time. In the n ext d ecade howev er w e ¡ expect tha t both Roll a a nd M .S .M . will cont inu e to grow. W e feel ther efor e tha t w e should b e able to house in dormitories a bout 500 students .

the d e mand for rooms in private homes in Rolla nor would it prev ent the fr a t ernities at the School of Mines from having their own houses filled. Weare _ concerned a bout the w elfare of our frate rnities a nd about our good friends in Rolla. W e want the ,g ood people of Rolla who desire to rent rooms to stude nts alway s to h a v e plenty of nice students to whom to r ent their rooms. W e also want th e fraterni tie s to opera te on a sound financial ba sis a nd w e do not want to hurt a n y of th em by competing with them. W e are sincerely confide nt howe v er . and this conf idence is based upon the experience of ot h er school s, that our dorm i 'ory will a d d so much to th e servi ces which the School ca n offer that it win attract still more s tudents so that the r e will b e plenty for all who are inter est ed. In a ddit ion to the dormitory, and part of th e same project, we hope eventual'y to have a student ce nte r so that social facilities may b e a ugmented and enhanced.

Athletic Field Inadequate In a'hl etics Jackling Field has serv ed admirably in the past but it do es no t now compare with facilitie s a t other institutions nor is it a n y wher e n e ar adequate for our present n eeds. The Board authorize d us to star t work on the field across the highway but w e still need at le a st $50 ,000 and possibly $100 ,000 to e r e ct seats for at least 3500 p eople and dressing rooms for the players on the teams. With such a fi eld and proper facilities we would the n b e in a position to act as host for variou s athletic tourname nts a nd contests of a state-wide or district n a ture. We hope some day to have a f ield house not only fo r athle tic contests and physical training but a l so for the use of our ROTC which has done such r e marka bly fin e work. If it had not been for th e ROTC program throughout the country the last war would have been prolonged several years.
