Old Grads Meet in

Rolla During 1951 Homecoming, Nov.2-3 The annual Homecoming program was held in Rolla on November 2nd and 3rd. The old grads started arriving by the middle of the week . President James L . Head arrived in Rolla on November 2nd , returning from the west coast, and he had attended numerous alumni meetings en route , which are discussed in other articles in the Alumni magazine. The Board of Directors met on the afternoon of November 2nd, and this was followed by the business meeting of the organization. On the evening of November 2nd, there was an informal dutch treat dinner in the College Inn of the Hotel Edwin Long. There, until far into the night, the alumni gathered and swapped their yarns of events of long ago. All of the fraternity houses were open to returning a lumni both 0n Friday and Saturday night. Saturday morning was spent in the r egistration of the r eturning alumni in the lobby of Parker Hall, followed by the Convocation program held in the auditorium at 11 :00 a.m . At the Convocation program, which was presided over by VicePresident Harry Pence , '23 , Harry emphasized that the Alumni Association is now becoming "big business" with the large number of graduates going out in recent years. With appropriate remarks in r ecognition of the outstanding con-

Vice- President Pence then called attention to the growth of MSM under the l eadership of D ean Curtis L. Wilson . He referred to the fact that approximately 60 % of all living graduates have Dean Wilson's name on their diplomas, and the changes that have taken place on the campus under Dean Wilson's administration, such as the completion of the new power plant building, erection of the Me chanical Engineering building, the building of the south wing of the Chemistry Department building, which is not yet complete, but which is well under way. He also pointed to the remodeling of the Mining Building and the Metallurgy Building, which will soon be completed. Harry also pointed to the fact now a ll curricula of the school are

He then announced that by action of the Board of Directors Dean Wilson has been made a lif~ member of the Alumni Association of the School of Mines. Associate Dean Rex Z . Williams i elivered the Convocation address J ealing with the shortage of engine~rs with which the country", is bemg faced .today. Dean Williams' address is reproduced. elsewhere in the' magazine. . The noon hour was spent in r enewing acquaintances at the fraternity houses and in the restaurants downtown. Dean and Mrs. Curtis L . Wilson entertained the alumni officials in a luncheon at their home. The Class of '26 held their own reunion at the Colonial Village, and this was r egarded as a demonstration of what could b e done with a class reunion . The St. Louis section held its annual cocktail party at the Edwin Long during the noon hour beginning at 12:30 p .m . ' At 2 :15 p.m. the Miners played the Homecoming football with the State College at Cape Girardeau as their opponent, the Miners winning 19 to 6. That evening the annual Homecoming banquet was held in the College Inn of the Hotel Edwin Long. There. was no formal pro'gram, the returning alumni meeting and visiting with their friends a 3 they dropped in. This was followed by the Homecoming Ball in the gymnasium and by parties in the various fraternities on the camp ..:s. All in all, the Homecoming was regar jed as an ou tstanding success (Continued on Page 19)

Walter T. Shrenk received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University 01' Wisconsin. After serving as Tnstructor there , he came to Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in September, 1923, first as Assistant Professor . He has been Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering' since 1929 and has seen the department gTOW from a small laboratory iii the Old Chemical Hall to a full-size four-story brick and concrete building'. With gTeat patience but persistent vigilance he has built the D el>artment of Chemistry and Chemical Eng·jneering to one which is now accredited by the American Chemica l Society . the Am erican Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the Engineers Council for Professional Development. While his Depal·tment has now been accredited and occupies a new building', Doc is stilI in there pitching with his sleeves rolled up. Doc will not be content until he sees the new building completed and fully equipped.

Unit operations, thermodynamics and che mical e n g ineering' d e sign are es p ecially e mphasized . Gradua te courses are maintained in the principal branch es of chemistry and chemical engineering which makes available a lar·ge selection of well rounded courses for the M.S . d eg r ee in Chemical Engineering or chemi stry major . The department is housed in a r elatively n e w building, half of which was completed in 1942. The four story building containing an a r e a of 47 ,000 sq . ft. was completed , as far as fund s would p ermit, in 1949. It is a modern fire proof structure of skeleton concrete, buff brick e xterior. concrete interior with walls and floors of concrete. It contains offices, class rooms, leclure rooms and laboratories for che mistry and chemical engineering. The section constructed in 1949 has not been fully completed and equippe d .

Associate Dean Williams Talks at Homecoming on Shortage of Engineers Mr. Chairman , Fellow Alumni, and Ladies: I feel that I might w ell have take n as my subject th e title of an article which r e cently appeared in Fortun e Magazine. Those of you who saw this article will rememb e r that it was entitled " There's a Helluva Shortage of Engineers" , and that is the theme of my talk . We will have approximately 120 young men graduating on January 23, 1952, and this week there have been seven companies on the cam pus to interview these young men . The seven include d a manufacturer of electrical equipment and machinery , a manufacturer of equipment and supplies for th e railroad industry , a chemical company engaged in atomic e nergy work, a ch e mical company engaged in production of food and chemicals, an aircraft company , and two major oi l companies. Next week there w ill be e ight more and so on and on until graduation day . To Graduate- 175 We e xpect approximately 175 graduates on May 26, 1952 , and r hav e no id ea how man y companies wi ll come he r e during the spring to talk to th e m , but fe el sure that the number will r ea ch 100 . W e Und that companies w hich form e r ly interviewe d only once a year are now coming twice yearly, that other co m panies which have never interviewed on this campus before a r e now calling on us , and fi nall y that companies which have never inte rvi ewed on any campus a re now coming to Rolla . On e co mpan y, which will b e h e re in a bout two weeks b ecame worrie d o v e r the possibility of not havin g man y applicants for its inte rvie w s, a nd so it is spon so ring a sp ecial m eetin g to which are invited all se niors in M ec hanical and Civil Engin ee ring, and a ll facult y m e m bers in tho se two d epartments. The purpose is to create inter est in th e company and as an added attrac ti on th e r e will be a complimentary buffet supper. Anoth e r company told m e that it would like to se nd a company plane to th e University of Okla homa, th e Sch ool of Mines , W ash ingto n Unive r sity , an d others to pick up p e r so nnel officers an d faculty m em b e r s and take th em to

the Gulf of Mexico to inspec t com pany facilities and to get in a w eek end of· deep sea fishing. Now we like to feel that some of this great interest in our seniors is due to the quality of the graduates, and we get some evidence that such

Rex Z. Williams is th e case. The prog r ess our graduates mak e stands as proof for such a belief, but we realize that th e r eal reason for this activity is th e shortage of e ngineers . I want to exp)ain to you some of th e prese nt conditions with r espect to the sup ply of young e nginee rs both now and in th e near futur e. To do this, I wa nt to refer to the chart which is s ho w n h e r e . It s hows th e num b er of e n g inee ring graduates in this country over a p eriod of yea r s from 1935 until th e prese nt, and has b een proj ecte d a f e w years into th e futur e . You w ill notice th e gradlIa l ris e in th e numbe r of e ngin eerin g gradu a tes until 1942 f ol lowe d by the sharp d eclin e durin g th e n e xt few years . This, of co urse, was d u e to World W ar II. The extr e m ely rapid rise beginning in 1946 was du e to th e r eturning v e t era n s afte r the cessation of hostili ties in World War II . Th e p eak year was 1950 when som e 51,000 young m e n were ·gr ad uated. In 195 1 th at number h ad fa llen to approx imate ly 35 ,000 and it ~ 'i stima ted th a t th e numb er in 19.5 .~

w ill b e approx imatel y 26 ,000 . You w ill not ice that th e chart predicts a continued downward . trend to a level of somewh ere in the neigh borhood of 15 ,000 to 17 ,000 by 1954 . In 1948 th e United States Burea u of L abor Statistics antici patin g th e large number of grad uates du e in 1950 , issued printed mate ri al to hi g h school counsellor3 and to the press predicting an oversupply of yo un g engineers and urging high school students to consid e r carefully the advisability of en terin·g a crowded field. We b egan to feel the effect of this informa tion shortly thereafter th r ough decreased freshmen enrollme nt. Our freshmen classes decreased in numbers and have continued to do so until this fall. I do not mean to say that the information men tioned above was the only reason for d ecreased freshmen en r ollment, b ecause a large part of it was undoub:edly due to the fact that th e 18 year olds who were e nte rin g college in 1949, 50 , and 51 were th e boys who w e r e born in the earl y 1930' s whe n th e nation's birth rate was at its all time low. N everth el ess, freshm e n enrollment in engineerin g decreased all over th e country, and in 1950 was only 29,000 for th e entire n a tion. It is s tated that th e freshmen e nroll m e nt inc r ease d 5 % in 1951 and ours a t th e School of Mines in creased abo ut 10 % . Industry Absorbs Surplus M eanwhile, what happened to th e surplus e ngineers predicted b y th e labor statistics? Well, they w e r e absorbed b y industry , and there is evidence to show that there is a n unfilled demand for somewhere between 80 ,000 and 95,000 e n gine e r s in this country at th e p r ese n t tim e . Th e r e is a l so evide nce to indicate that there will b e a co ntinued future d ema nd for so m e 30 ,000 to 35 ,000 yo un g engi n eers ever y yea r. I know that y ou m ay ask why can we expect to n eed th a t many young engin eer s in the futur e when the pre war production of e n,ginee r s was somew h ere in the ne ighborhood of 12 ,000 to 15 ,000 per year, and that production seem ed to have bee n bal a nced pretty well a gain st d e mand. S om e of th e r easo ns wh y I b elie v e t h a t the 30 ,000 to 35 000 e ng in eers p er yea r is not too hi g h a r e as follow s: Vve h ave n ew in d u stri es which we r e not e ven in ex iste nce 10 yea r s

ago. Consider for instance the atomic energy industry which up until the present has been directed a l most solely toward military needs , but which even now is be ginning to be directed toward in dustrial uses. Thousands of e ngi neers are alread y employed in this industry, and many more will b e needed in the future. We all know that we are runnin g into more difficult problems in su pplying oursel ves and the world with the necessary materials. In the field of petroleum there was a time when shallow drilling sufficed and when much of the exploration was based on surface geology. Nowadays the drilling is deep and the exploration is based upon geophysica l meth ods. The difference in the need for technically trained people is enormous. We find that we are using more complicated machines as anyone will agree when he compares the p r esent automobiles and railroads

and communications to those that we had only a few years ago. Such increased technology calls for more and more engineers. Finally, it might be pointed out that down through history every war has brought an ' upsuI'ge in technology and most of that upsurge has been retaine d even after peace returns to the world. So, for these reasons, it does not appear that ' we will be able to bring the supply of young engi neering graduates up to the l evel of the demand for you ng engineers, at least not in the fors eeable future. Now what can be don e to a lleviate this condition as much as possible? Well, we must make use of technical institutes and other such courses which will train boys to do specific and technical jobs e ven though th ey will not provide enough training to make an engineer. We must use more women in technical work j ust as the T opo -

graphic Division of the United States Geological Survey is doin g here in Ro lla at the present tim e. We must up-grade our existing en gineers to b e sure tha t they are used for work that can be don e only . by an engineer and avoid keeping such men on routine drafting or other work which can b e handled by the people m e ntioned before. We must act to increase the perce ntage of high school Âˇg raduates who enter engineering colleges. In this we are subject to definite limits b ecause only a relativel y small p ercentage of the high school graduates are fitted for an engineering education. I have read that perhaps as many as 10 % of the high school graduates could profitably take engineering, whereas onl y 3 % are actually entering engineering schools. In convincing more high school graduates to enter engineering colleges , we will be faced with the (Continued on Pa,ge 18)

Many 1950 Grads Join Alumni Association The Class of 1950, which became eligible for associate membership in the Alumni Association last November, has responded in excellent shape to a joint invitation from Professo r H. R. Hanley , SecretaryTreasurer of the Alumni Associa tion, and Dean Curtis L . Wilson to become dues paying members of the Association. The joint letter , which was sent out to the group in October, has , so far , produced over 150 pa id up m embers, the largest membership of any class in the Assoc iation. In commenting upon these new members, Dean Wilson stated that he was very pleased that the younger graduates are interested in joining th e Alumni Association and keeping in touch with the school through the medium of the MSM Alumnus. "Naturally, I have a very p ersonal inte.rest in these younger members, and woul d like to continue the privilege of association with them," the dean said. Additional paid up dues from this group are being received by the Alumni Office da il y.

Dean Williams (Continued From Page 9) fact that many who should be there will not be able to go because of financial problems. It may be true that it is easier now for a young man to earn a high percentage of his college expenses than it form erly was, but the fact remains that it is extr emely difficult for a young man to go to college without con siderable financial assistance from someone. Th ere is little doubt but that the large increase in engineering enrollments immediately after World War II was due in no sma ll part to the financial assistance pro vided by the G. I. Bill. If we could provide some financial assistanc E' to young men now finishing school. we could undoubtedly increase th e e nrollment. We do, of course . have scholarships and fellowship s and they serve a very useful pur poSE' . but most of them are for ju niors and seniors and graduate stu de nts and we should not forget that before we can have juniors and seniors and graduate students we first must have freshmen and soph omores. Our e xperience here in dicates that we seldom lose a stu dent because of financial pressure afte r he reach es his junior year. By that time he will have b e come ver sa tile enough to m a k e it through on e way or another, but during his freshman and sopho more years, it is much more diffi cu I t. Another f ea ture which is of Âˇg r ea t importance and which will affec t our enrollme nt in the futur e is our government's plan to main tain a three and on e half million man armed force. It is tru e tha t w e ha v e h a d large r armed forc es at times in the past, but we have never had on e anywhere nearly as lar ge except during actual war times when th e large forc e w as plann e d for . a r elatively shor t period, perhaps 4 years or 5 yea r s. Now w e plan such a force for a lon ~ period which has been estimate d to be at l east 10 years and possibly 20 years in duration. This is a new experience for our coun try. So far , it has not disturbed college e nrollments very much and t here are several rea sons for this small disturbance. One of them is that the enlistme nt contr acts w er e sudd enl y exte nd e d durin g th e

summer of 1950 when the Korean situation became acute. Another is that ma ny thousands of reservists have bee n recalled to active duty sin ce the winter of H?Âˇ50. Fina lly , we have had some 600,000 inductions from the 18 V2 to 26 year pool of men. These things supplied the necessary manpower without forc ing us to take young m e n out of college to any 'g reat extent. Now man y of our reservists who are on active duty are eJigible for r e lease after havin g ser ve d for 17 months and that period w ill soon be r ea ched by man y of the m . Th e e xten sion s on t he e nli stment con tracts a r e about to r eac h their end poin t. Th ere is a lso a stron g public sentim e nt for rota tion so that men who hav e b een in the armed forc es for a cons iderable period may be r eleased. Finally, we have almost de ple ted th e 18 I,I, to 26 yea r old pool of men. The time when w e must depend upon young m e n r each ing th e age of 18 V2 y ears is rapidly a pproaching. Dr. M. H. Try tten , Director of the Office o f Sci entific Personnel of the National Resear ch Council analyzes the s ituation in the followin g mann er . He states that an armed force o f three and one half million men would probably contain 750 ,000 " Military Careerists", th a t is , m en who will spend an average of 10 years in th e armed forces. By sub tracting the 750,000 from the total forc e, w e find that th er e will have to be 2,750,000 men who are not " Military Careerists". From wher e will these men come ? It is esti mated that during th e next decad e ther e will be an avera'ge of 1,200. 000 m en to reach the age of 18 V2 years e very year. Actually tha t figur e is only 1,050,000 now , bu t it' will in crease. Based upon the r eiection s which the armed forc es hav e made, we can expect that 72 % of the men who r each 18 V2 years of age will b e fit for military servi ce . That percentage of th e entire 1,200,00 0 gives 864000 m e n who will be fit for mili ta ry service and who will reach the age o f 18 V2 every year. From this pool mu st come the "Military Careerists", who will average 75,000 p el' year, as w ell as a ll other men for the armed forces. D educting th e 75 ,000 " Military Careerists" l eaves approx im ately 790,000 others for military service . Now if we ar e to maintain our three and on'~ hal'F ~ â&#x20AC;˘

It is seen at once that requiring e very able bodied 18 % year old to serve two years will supply only little more than one half the number needed. To require them to serve three years still will not supply the number needed. Four years of service would supply about 100,000 more than a re needed. So it looks as if every 18 % year old who is fit will be needed in the armed service for a period of time from three to four years. These figures make no allowance for deferments, for educational or for industrial purposes. It is believed that we will reach this condition some time between the summer of 1952 and the summer of 1953. The implicatio ns for colleges and for industry are very serious. It is true that as these young men enter military service there will be an equal number of veterans rel eased. Those released will return to industry or to school. It is my belief that th 2 major portion will r eturn to industry since that is where they came from. Some of course, will go to college, but I do not b elieve that that numbe r will be large. I want to point out what h appened to our e nrollment during the period from 1941 to 1945 when the yo ung men were going into military servic 2 rather than into college. Our enrollment in 1941 was approximatel y 1000 . By the spring of 1945 it had decreased to 188 , and in the summer of 1945 to 99. I leave it up to yo u as to what will happen to u s if w e do not have some system of educationa l deferments . I think that we should realize that there is a vast difference between the planning which we are now doing, and the planning which was used for World War I and World War II . Then we were fac-

ing an emergency estimated to be from four to five years. Now w e a r e facing an emergency estimated to last from 10 to 20 years. Now what can be done about this situa tion ? Of course we must publicize the need for engineers and for con tinuing their education . That is now an easy job. It is extremely difficult to convince the family and the neighbors of J ohn Doe that it is fitting and proper for him to go into military service while Rober t Roe , who lives three doors up the street. is d eferred to attend the School of Mines. It is equally hard to convince the draft board in a dairy region that John Smith , who is milking 20 cows, should go into military service while Rob e r t Black, who is manufacturing steel , should stay on the job. Neverth eless, those are things which we must attempt to do. I b elie ve that the Am erican p eople have certain popular misconceptions about mil itary service. Perhaps those misconceptions are not so bad when we face a short war , but they are seri ous for a long term plan . On e of them is that military power a lon e contributes to the national safety in time of war. Another is that all military personnel make greater sacrifices and contributions than do civilians. Still another is the belief that professional manpower can be obtained in suffi cient quantities after the military needs are met. We seem to have based our conception of compulsory military service on the philosophy of equality of sacrifice. What we need to do is to adopt the philosophy of the hi ghest individual contribution. We know we are outmanned-that we have onl y 6 % of the world's population. We must realize the necessity to out pro duce our potential enem ies and to do that we must rely on efficient use of our manpower. H ere at the School of Mines we are trying to accompli sh these things in a number of ways. W e are keeping draft boards and d eferment boards posted as to the activities and progress of our students. Toward this end we have sent over 2000 reports and letters about individual students to these boards. W e also send a representative to meetings such as this on e. Only a few weeks ago I attended a manpower meeting in Pittsburgh . We intend to continue such activi -

However , starting on Monday morning, November 5th, the snow started com ing down, and by W ednesday morn ing, November 7th, the ground was covered with 20 inches of snow the biggest on record at this tim e

The Alumni Committee was un der the chairmanship of Paul Dow ling, '40, but Paul was called to Washington by company business that kept him out of the St. Louis area during most of the time, and his duties were ably carried on by Kenneth H anson, ' 36, Vice-Chairman of the Committee. Kenny spent some time in Rolla, and did a -g ood job in rounding out the program .

New Board Members ties and to supply speakers for such meetings whenever possible. W e are attempting to increase our freshman enrollment through such things as Engin eers D ay when w e bring hundreds of high school seniors to the campus to acquaint them at le ast a little with en gineering. Weare sending representatives to hi-gh school career days so that the boys and girls may know about the opportunities in engineering and we have just finished sending many of our department chairmen out over the state to talk to high school seniors in their own schools. By such a process, we are contacting some 65 Missouri high schools which we have never canvassed b efore. What can you do about this lem? Well , you can spread the gospel as best yo u can. Perhaps you can interest some qualifi ed young men in your community in engineering and if you do, don 't stop when you have aroused his interest, but do send us the names and addresses of any such young men so that we can follow up. As employers yo u m ay use you r engineering employees on engineerin g work and attempt to use others for the more routin e jobs. And possibly as time goes on , you may come up with some sort of an idea where by some promlSlllg young lad who cannot come to college because of financial rea sons may be g iven enough assistance to get him started. Fin ally, let me conclud e by sayin g that we believe we h ave something worth while here at MSM - worth while not just for the yo un g men who come here, but for our country as well , and we in tend to keep working with these yo un g men and for them just as MSM has done during these last 80 years, through boom or bust, and throc!gh war and peace .

Mines w ill sorel y miss the wise g uidan ce and friendly help which Dean Rex Z . Williams has given them over the years . Faculty mem bers will miss his pleasant associa tion and so und judgment. The Board of Curators and University offici al s will miss his complete loyalty a nd d evotion to duty . No one, however , will miss him more than 1. We have worked together in complete harmony and, I believe , e ffectiveness during the p ast fiv e yea r s of his tenur:e as Assistant Dean and Associate D ean. I can testify that his contributions to the Âˇg ood name of Missouri School o f Mines an d to the fundamental wel fare of t h e st udents have been beyo nd material evaluation . We de drive considerable comfort from the knowl edge that Rex plans to r emain in Roll a where he will continue his d eep interest in MSM and where we can continue to call upon him as a friend of t h e School and its st ud ents." In connect ion with his l eav in g. Rex stated, " I think that I shall a lwa ys fe e l as if I am a part of the School of Mines. Certainly I hop e to have a part in its futur e affairs whenever my participation seem s desirable a nd appropriate, and since my plans are to remain in Rolla there will be no r easo n to lose contact w ith the school and its alum ni.
