As you will notice in other columns of this issue, we are rap id ly approaching our goal of 2000 members of 1954. We are now going into home stretch and with the continued help of all loyal alumni, I hope that in the next issue we may anno unce the fulfillment of our objective. It was my privilege to attend dinner meetings of the New York and Kansas City Sections on Feb ruary 16 and 26 , respectively. To me, the opportunity to meet old and new alumni friends in such numbers and to see their Âˇenthusiasm and interest in alumni aff3.irs was most inspiring and satisfying . We lack approximately $1500 in making up a special fund of $5000 to offset our anticipated operating deficit for 1954-we are still hopeluI contributions will continue to come in from those who desire to help. The following is a list of alumni who have contributed to the special fund since the last issue of the Alumnus and to the time this issue goes to press : Walter A. Baumstark '40 A . E. B arnard '2 7 C. C . Bland ex' 14 C . A. B urdick ' 10 Kurt D eCousser '22 P. T. Dowling '40 J . P. Gill ' 18 F. W. Green Hon. '40 Donald W . Griffin '26 Alex Grosberg '12 H. L . Harrod '29 K. F.

'39 A study is being made of the changes necessary to our Articles of Asssociation and By-Law to p ermit your Association to embark upon an Annual Alumni Fund or Living Endowment Fund, as it is called by various school s usin~ it.

Under this plan fix e d dues are eliminated and memberships are based upon contributions, as in the case of Community Chest, Red Cross a nd other charitable organizations. This would fit the program to ever yo n e 's pocketbook , a nd a ll contributions would be d eductible fo r income tax purposes. The n ecessar y changes and mechanics to put this into effect will be presented to yo ur Board of Directors in June for their considera tion for our fiscal year 1955 which starts November 1, 1954 . With this Issue of t h e " Alumnus" the a ctua l r eins of editorship pass from Noel Hubbard , Registrar, to " Ik e" Edwards, our ExecutiveSecretary. Long and faithfully, and with a minimum of assistance has Noel Hubbard " put out the paper" . W e commend and thank him for a hard and u sually t hankless task well done . Of course, we will continue to use the mass . of material tha t comes through his office. This brings up the point that I am sure " Ike" Edwards will wel come articles and suggestions from each of you-for this is y our publication and you are the reporters. Sincerely, H. S. Pence , President.

Dr. Forrester Named Chairman of One Of Largest Groups of A. I. M. E. Dr. J. D. Forrester, Chairman of the Mining Engineering Department, was elected to the chairmanship of the Mining, Geology and Geophysics DIvision of the Mining Branch of the American InstItute of Mining and Metallupgical Engineers at their annual meeting in New York in February. By vIrtue of this office, Dr. Forrester is also an ex-officio director of the Board of Directors of the AIME. This division, one of the largest of the institute, was created in 1949 in an attempt to streamline the administra tion and technical work of the AIME. Being a r elatively n ew division, there is still much to be done in its organization and administrative setup which makes the chairmanship an important and ac-

tive office for l eadership. The sub-divisions of this divisio n are, Mining, Geology and G eophysics. The J ackling L ectureshIp and the Peel e A ward are important activities of the division. The Jackling Lectureship was inaugurated l ast year by the AIME. The name was given this L ectur eship honoring Daniel C. Jackling, ~m alumni of the Missouri School of Mines and the outstanding minmg en gineer in the mining industry. The individual to present the lecture to the meeting is chosen by a committee from a list of candidates who a r e outstanding in their contribution to progress in technology and in professional development. The honor and importance of this l ectureship is recognized in that there is no other ac-

tivity or session scheduled during this lecture hour. Dr. Forrester has actively participated in the annual meetings of the AIME. This year he appeared on the program at two different sessions. At a session of the Minerals Industry Education Division, he discussed, "What Qualifies a Geology Curriculum of Engineering Accreditation", and before the Coal Division, he presente d a paper on, "Undel'ground Electrocarbonization of Coal and Related Hydrocarbons ." This chairmanship will entail a great deal of administrative work demanded by a new and growing division. The institute has placed the leadership in very competent hands und er whose direction the division will continue to grow and accomplishe d the purpose for which it was established . Join the Alumni Association of y our Alma Mater.

Alumni in the Kansas City area met at the "Old Plantation" on Highway No. 40, east of Kansas City, on February 26th and reorganized the Kansas City Section of the Alumni Association. Sixty a lumni made reservations prior to the meeting and seventy-two were on hand to lend impetus to the reorganization. The meeting was most successful and their new officers are, Ray O. Kasten '43 , President; Fred H. Hoener '41 , VicePresident; Don A. Riley ' 48 , Secretary-Treasurer; Will i a m H. Kamp '17, Director; E. Taylor Campbell '23 , Director. Enthusiasm ran high at the meeting and plans were formulat ed tbat night for a St. Pat's dance though the date was near at hand. Harry S. Pence and " Ike" Edwards, Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association were present at this first meeting. The classes of ' 48 and '50 won top honors for attendance. Both had ten m embers present.

Unit for E E Department in Engineering Laboratories Is . Urgently Needed The list of courses comprising the first Electrical Engineermg Curriculum at Missouri School of Mines and MetallUl'gy was presented in the 1i1 1d-.l::i.l '/ catalOg ; noweve r, courses in electrical en gine erin g had been previously given in the Physics D epartment. Th ese coursÂŁs include d: Electrica l Machinery, Dy namo Laboratcry, Electricity dnd Magnetism, Electrical Laboratu ry , and Alternating Currents. At that time the following curricula were given at M.S.M., Mine Engineerin g, M etallurgy, Civil Engin eering , and General Science. In addition to these curricula , the 1916-1917 catal og offered for the fi rst time at M.S.M. curricula in Mechanical Engineering, Electrica l Engineering and Chemical Engin eering. The first Electrical Engineering Curriculum was identical with the Mechanical Engineering Curricu.lum during the first two year s. Subj ects in the junior year w er e simila r for the two divisions except for el ectives; the courses in the senior year w ere definitely different. This a rrangement of curricula was continued until 19221923 when a distinct curriculum in Electrical Engineering fo r the sophormore, junior and senior year s was presented. The curriculum durin g the early yea rs included no el ectrical subjec ts until the junior year w hen courses in Prin ciples of Electrical Engineering, Electrical Measurements, and Electrical Laborator y were ,g iv en. In t h e senior year, courses in Electrical Machiner y, Alternating Currents, and Ele ctrical Distribution w ere r equ ir ed a nd a choice of el ectives between Wireless Communication and Electric Rail ways was p ermitted. Other sub jects in the fi el ds of M ech anical Engineering , Civil Engineerin g, Mechanics, M et allurgy, and the humanities provid ed the n ecessary hours required for graduation. It is evident from the preceding outline of ele ctrical engineering subjects given during the early p eriod that the subj ects w ere limited to elementar y principles, and to electric circuits and machines . In the 191 9- 1920 school yea r a n elective course in Electrical Communi-

cation was offered dealing with the fundamental principl es of wireless telegraphy and telephony, a twocredit hour l ecture course. The following y ear this cour:;e was removed from the catalOg and no communication course was lIsted. Startmg in the school year 19211922 the first course entitl ed Radio Communication was ofrered.

was described in the catalog as a lecture and laboratory course although at that time laboratory facllitles in radio were totally lacking. During the period from 1922 to 1!:iL:5, fOllOwmg the catalog oescnption of the electrical machinery laboratory, this statement was added, "Another l aboratory is being equipped lOr work in radio communlcation." Previous to 1921 electrical en gineering laboratory facilities were crude and meager. L aboratory power faciliti es w ere supplied trom exposed wires supported by porcelain knobs; connections to machines under test were made from these wir es. In 1921 the north machinery laboratory in the basement of .N orwood Hall was rewired in conduit, test benches and a panel board were installed, thus, giving this room modern laboratory .L:acilities. During 1922 the southwest machinery laboratory room was similarly equipped . The two rooms described above and now designated as G3 and G9 in Norwood Hall provid ed the space allotted for electrical machinery

laboratories in the early 1920's. This same space in 1954 is stul the 0111Y space a llotted to e lectrical machmery l aboratories. Durmg the past thirty years there have been man y reV1SlOns and alteratlOns in power supply facilIties, obsolete machme:; have been replaced by modern U111t5 and in recent y ears many new units have been aaded but with no increase in avallable space. This condltion has created adaitional problems; tor example, certaln items 0": equlpment must be Changed from active space in the laboratones to storage space and back again as dilterent types of expenmencs are periormed. The present two electrical machinery laboratory rooms are now well eqUlpped with modern types of machmes together with many special torms of control equipment WhlCh is of partiCUlar importance in the study of modern power applications. The tacilities are r easona bly adequate for conducting relativelY small classes in labora tory courses although at the present time the number of such courses now essential in a modern electrical engineering curriculum is much l arger than when the laboratories were originally planned. There are many indications now that a considerable increase in enrollment may be expected in the near future. During the present semester in a freshman class with an enrollment of 385 the number of students who have selected the Electrical Engineering Curriculum is 72. This is the second largest enrollment in a single curriculum for the fr eshman cla ss-the l argest e nrollment being 81 in Mechanical Engineering. These figures indica te what size classes we will soon have in these two curricula and since a ll mechanical engin eering students have two-year's work in el ectrical engineering subjects, space must be provided for them as well as for the electrical engineering students. In addition to these two gro ups, the students in the other e ngineering curricula are required to take one semester of el ectrical engineerin g laboratory work , therefore, l abora tory facilities for these gro ups also must be provided. Concerning developments in the curriculum i t has been noted that (Continued on Pal:'e 21)

Still Good, Says U. S.

Walter E. Remmers, '23, chairman of the board of Electrometallurgical Corp . and U. S . Vanadium, was the principal speaker at a Founders ' Day program at Marie tta College, Marietta , Ohio , on February 14, 1954. He r e ceived an honorary Doctor of Science degree at the lecture_ Wally attended the Missouri School of Mines and receive d a B. S. in Metallurgy, 1923; M. S. in Metallurgy, 1924; Degree of M etal1urgical Engineer , 1927 ; and honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering , 1948. Before and while acquir ing these degre e·.:; he worked as a laborer, molder , and chemist. Mr. Remmers later became instructor and assistant professor in Engine ering at Washington University in St. Louis . Moving from the educational fi eld, in 1936 he went with Ele ctromet as a Sales Engineer and in 1937 became District Manager in Chicago. In 1941 he was transferr ed to New York, and in 1942 h e was elected Vice-President and Director of Electro Metallurgical Sales Corp. In 1945, h e was elected Vice-President and Director of Electromet. Mr. Remmei's moved up to the presidency of Electromet and several Canadian companies in 1948 a nd was made President of U. S . Vanadium in 1950. In April, 1952, he was elected Vice-President of Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation. He is now Chairman of both Electromet and U . S. Vanadium and a member of the Appropriations Committee of USS.

Student Engineers Wanted For Summer Employment

a is s, Ie 1-

Assistant Dean V .A.C . Gevecker advises that his office has received a great number of requests from Sophomore and Junior students for summer employment in engineering and related fields. Several companies have adopted a cooperative plan whereby they seek the services of underclassmen for summer employment to see how they work out in their organization with the possibility of hiring them upon graduation . In some instances they employ Sophomores under this plan . Employers who are in need of competent summer employees are asked to contact the Assistant Dean, MSM, Rolla , for further information.

1954

By James L. Head By the death of Dr . Lewis E. Young on December 27th at the age of 75, the engineering world lost not only a distinguished engineer but also one who was devoted to public service on behalf of his profession and his fe llow engineers. I met L ewis Young in September 1912 on the fi rst day I was in Rolla to enroll as a Freshman at MSM. It was before the compl etion of Parker Hall and his office was then in Norwood Hall in th e southeast corner of the second floor. H e left at the end of my F reshman year. World War I and subsequent emploment in South America pre vented me fro m renewing our acquaintance until sometime in the ' twenties. We later became close friends and we worked to路gether on many committees and boards, particularly those of AIME and Engineers Joint CounciL Despite his connections with and degrees from other engineering schools, he was a lways a loyal supporter of MSM. He well m erited the honorary doctorate conferred upon him by the University in 1947. H e was a familiar figure at Alumni dinners, especially those in Pittsburgh and New York City. Dr. Young's enthusiasm, constant activity, look s and erect bearing , all belied his age . Outstanding among his many activities was his continuing interest in the student and the youn g man just entering the profession. H e was indeed their counselor and friend. During his term as President of A IME in 1949 , he much preferred to talk to stu 路路 dent chapters instead of restrictin g his visits to local sections. The many honor s b estowed on " L. E. " were but an indication of the r espect, admiration and affection held by so many of u s. I do no t know the so urce nor t h e author of the following whic h I have had for some years. It seem s appropriate at this time . " .. .. He went down As when a l ordly ce dar, gr een with bOll'ghs Goes down with a great shout upon the hills And l eaves a lonesome place a~ain st the sky."

Directory of Missouri Geologists Published A Directory of Missouri Geologists has just been published by the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. It was compiled and written by Dr. O. R. Grawe, Chairman of the Geology D epartment. The information contained therei n will also be included in a World Directory of Geologists which is being prepared by the International Geological Congress. The directory contains the names a nd addresses of 162 practicing geologists who r eside in Missouri. Many of them are specialists. The list includes 44 teachers, 32 carto graphers, 26 mining geologists, 15 State Geological Survey geologists,

11 State Highway Departme nt geol ogists, 7 consulting geologists, 6 oil and gas geologists, 2 clay prodLlctS geologists, and one . mineral technol ogist. Rolla l eads all cities in the State with 50 geo logis~s or n early onethird the total number. Thirty ~two reside in St. L ouis ,1 9 in Kansas City, 14 in Bonne T err e, 13 in Co路lumbia, and 9 in Joplin. The directory serves no t only as a census of geologists residing in Missouri but it also w ill serve as a ready reference for anyone desirin g t he services of a geologist. Send in Personals.

The incorporation of this pia n, if adopted, by the Alumni A ssociation, would b e, putting it briefly, a " One P ackag e Deal" . As it is now, membership dues are solicited from all m embers and form er students whose addresses are known . In addition to this a sp ecial campaign was la unched this yea r to m eet the anticipated operational d eficit. Under the "One P ackag e Deal", an appeal would be made to all Alumni to make contributions to the Alumni Fund, similar to Community Chest Fund drives. The amount would be determined by each donor. E a ch contributor would become an active m ember of the Alumni Associa tion , r eceive the " MSM Alumnus" for one year and would receive other ben efits and privileges which the association provides from time to time .

This would provide a lumni an opportunity to participate in the support of the Alumni Association in ratio to their financial ability and desire. The p la n has proven successful in more than 275 school s that have adopted it. Of this number approximately forty are publicly supported schools .

rom J>age 6) the first course in Hadio Communication was o11ered in H}22. This was soon after the start of radio broadcastmg. When the department was separated t rom the Pnyslcs Deparl· ment an extensive r eVision of tll ~· Electrical }<;ngll1eenng Curriculum was approved. The ele ctrical subj ects tnen adde d included Principles of Electrical Engll1eer mg in the sophomore year, E le ctncal IVleasurements, .principles of Alternating Currents and Electric Power '1 ransmission in the junior year; El ectric l-'ower Stations, E lect ric Railways, Electrical Engineering Design, and E l ectrical Engmeedng Applications in the senior year. With extensive develOpments ill the f ield of el ectronics and communication during the p eriod 193J to 1940 additional courses were d eveloped such as Electronics , Vacuum Tubes, and cour ses in Comm unication Engineering. Except for the addition of these subjects, few changes were made in the curriculum unitl the school year 19431944. Previous to this date all courses given in the d epartment were required subjects and a tot81 of eleven credit hours of el ectives were chosen from other departments. Then in September of '43 a series of elective subj ects were offer ed such as Ultra-High-Frequency T echniques, Frequency Modulation , Operational Circuit Analysis, and Transient Analysis . This was the b eginning of a p l an which has developed into a more extensive ser ies of el ective subjects which now h av e b een divided into (~ontinued ~

Shorty will h ead a gro up of f ive geophysicists engage d in this wo r k for the Foreign G eology Branch of the USGS. 1932 George H. Musson is now with t h e Colorado S chool of Mines R esearch F ou ndation at Golden, Coltwo groups , one group oi lline courses in the field of Electric Power Systems and another group of nine courses in the field of Elec tronics and Communication. For the sophomore and junior years all s ubjects are required; during the senior year there are certain require d subj ects and in addition 14 credit hours of electives . Since World War II there .h as been a d efinite trend in the interests of el ectrical engineering students towa rd t h e fie l d of elec tronics and communication. This has necessitated extensive development of courses with the result that in the department there are now ten lecture courses and five l aboratory courses in this fie l d. Providing laboratory facilities for these courses has been a difficult prob lem. This has been accomplished throu gh the us e of three former l ecture rooms and one office room in Norwood Hall. The space provided by these ro oms is inadequ ate but there is no more space in Norwood Hall except rooms allotted to the Physics Department and the G eology D epartment; these d ep artments have no space to spare . With evi dence of increased enrollments in the near future and evidence of keen interest of high school graduates in the field of el ectrical e ng ineering the urgency for increase d laboratory facilities b ecomes imperative. The essential l aborator y space can b e supplied b y the proposed Engineering Laboratories Proj ect plans for which h ave been prepared. The completion of this proj e ct is dep endent upon adequate appropria tions.
