President's Column ( Paul T. Dowling '40, E xecutiv e Vice Pl'esident of th e Alumn-i Association, is the editol' of the Pl'esident's Column fol' this issue.)

IMARGAAATAIC The title line really isn't pied type though it may a t first gla nce appear to be. It is actually the quasi-offi cial designation of a n informal sub-rosa orga nization which the Assoc iation has long harbored within its ra nks. So und ominous ? It really isn't fo r it is merely the " I Married A Rolla Girl a nd Ain 't Ashamed to Admit It Club " .

This very exclusive group has operated for ma ny years under an ext remely loose unwritten constitution and meets at very irregular intervals in mo t any old bar or other place wherein a quorum may happen to assemble - - a quorum being a ny two members in good standing and able to stand . The a rchives of the Association a nd the memories of the oldest members of the Club have failed to impa rt any indication that a general conclave of the organization has ever been called. This sad state of affairs is about to be remedied through t he effo rts a nd good offices of Margaret Lloyd , the well-kn own better-half of one of the Club's more illustrious members.

In co njun ction with thi s sUlllmer's celebration of Rolla 's Cen ten n ial, Marga ret is a rranging a General Convention of the IMARGAAATAIC to be held Saturday, Jun e 8th. The outtanding event of the meeting will be the formal (shoes required) cocktail party and dinner to be held that evening. Since membershi p in the Clu b can only be gained by acq uirin a Rolla inlaws, the distaff (or bette r) half of each member is enthusiast ically invited.

It is expected that most of the members will wa nt to spend several days in Rolla to effectively assist in the Centen nial celebration as a n 'Old Gua rd of M SM ' contingent. T hi s first formal mee tin a of the IMARGAAATAI C should serve as a worthy chall enge fo r the many more meetings wh ich it is hoped will fo ll ow. All of you who know Maraaret - a nd who does n't - can app rec iate that this party will be a memorable affair, not only for Rolla, but for all who attend.

MSM Graduate Enthusiastic About Canada's Potential Natural Resources

V

AN H. SMITH ' 10, Sales Manager of North American Cya~amid Ltd. , Toronto , Canada IS enthusiastic abo ut the potential that Canada has for the engineering graduate, and the great progress being m~de in Canada in the discovery , promotlOn and operation of natural resources of mineral , oil and power.

Forty years ago , he relates , the United States, Mexico and South America all provided opportunities for MS]\II graduates. Now in 1957 , and the next 50 years, mining history will be written in Canada .

To be specific concerning Canada's future , he writes, " In this jet engine age, high temperature alloys are required , of which nickel is one of the main constituents. A great nickel field is being developed in Manitoba by the International Nickel Company, which will probably exceed the production in the Sudbury, Ontario fields in another 10 years. Also in northern Quebec , another deposit similar in formation and character to the Sudbury fields , has been discovered and concessions are being given to some 20 mining companies to develop the area. Another vast copper - gold mineral deposit or deposits are being developed and brought into production in the Chibongamon area of Quebec. Quebec as well as Newfoundland have new discoveries of asbestos."

Concerning the oil resources , he continues, " Oil as well as gas is being

found in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba provinces. The greatest oil reserve III the world exists in the oil tar sands of Alberta. Natural gas is being brought from Alberta, across Canada to the Great Lakes pipelines, part going south and part east to Ontario and Quebec." . " In Ontario , one of the world 's greatest deposits of uranium occurs a'nd is bein a treated in plants at the rate of 1000 to 5000 tons per day. Acid , lime and ammonia have to be produced to enable the winning of these deposits. " " Ontario is also experiencing the opening of vast deposits of iron ore by several large steel companies. " Adequate transportation is becoming a reality in the St. Lawrence seaway permitting ocean going ships to enter Lake Superior, and two transcontinental railroads serve the mining fields.

Mr. Smith states, " Canada is short of trained men , particularily in mining , metallurgy and chemical engineering, and hopes that some of the development of Canada's resources will be handled by MSM graduates. For the research minded chemist, Canada wants pyrite turned into elemen~al sulp~ur, sulphur dioxide gas for aCId and Iron oxide for iron ore."

In short, Van concludes, " Canada has waterpower, oil, gas, minerals, pulp paper , transportation eve~ything , awaiting trained men to furmsh the human element needed III its development. "

Early Co-ed, Retired, Now Has New Career Co-eds at the School of Mines are in the extreme minority . And co-ed graduates are a areater rarity. And seemingly their a;complishments are legio.n.

Eva Hirdler Greene, from St. LOUIS , Missouri , entered MSM in 1909 , after attend ina Washinaton University, and received "'ber B. S. "'degree in 1911. From the 1911 ROLLAMO we wish to extract a quote . " Little Eva, according to the St. Louis newspapers is the only female mining engineer in the world .

She has been with us for two years and says she is sorry that it has not been four. She puts great dependence in her unlimited amount of nerve and expects to operate a gold mine in California."

Mrs. Greene did go to California and dealt in gold - black gold - as a petroleum geologist. Though she has now. retired ~nd living at 2.15 Sout?

HamIlton Dnve, Beverly Hills, Cahfornia , she has made a wonderful second career for herself as an expert on psychometric testing procedures and has made quite a reputation on the coast as an authority in this field.

She helps young people, as well as adults, through scientific testing procedures, to find out their aptitudes and guides them toward the field of work in which they are most likely to find success and happiness.
