Degrees Conferred on 781; Outdoor Commencement Interrupted by Rain Th e seventy-seventh ann u a 1 Commencement concluded Ma y 29 , 1950 saw the largest number of degr ees in th e history of the s chcol conferred u pon the graduating class. A total of 781 deg rees were conferred. Th e Commence ment week prog ram started on Sunday, May 28, 1950 at 8:00 p .m. with the Bacca l aureate address. On account of t h e very large numbe r of graduate3, th e exercises were held on J ackling Field as there was no building in Rolla l arge e nough to seat the graduates and their fri e nds. The night was clear wlth :'l full moon shining. The asse mble d graduating seniors and the a udi e n ce which fill e d the bleache r s on Jackling Field presented a striking sight beneath the flood lights of the playing field and b e n eath the full moon . The B accalaureate address was delivered b y th e R e vere nd Dr. William P. Lampe, Pastor of th e W est Presbyte ria n Church in St. Louis and his subject was " The Important Question ." Dr. L ampe urged th e g raduates to seek their r e wards in se rvice to mankind rather than in great riches. Th e Baccala urea te exerci ~es were followed with a reception by the Faculty for the students, parent::; and v i3itors. This too , was h e ld on th e outside, on account of the large number, b eing h eld in the s unken garden east of Parker Hall w h e re again in a n unusually attractive setting,

the reception was an outstanding s ucc ess with the largest number of visitors in attendance of any similar service. Monday morning, May 29 , 1950, fate b ega n playing against Pro fessor Vernon A. C . Gevecker ' 31 who had been appointed b y Dean Wilson as Chairman of the Commencement Com mit tee. It started raining heavily at about 5 :00 a.m. However, by 8 :00 a .m. the sk y was again clear a nd reports from the W eather Bureau indicated the probability that there would be no rain. It was decided to take a chance in holding the exercise.> outdoors . Arrangements had previously been made , in event of rain, to hold the exercises in two groups, half of the graduates to receive their d egr ees in the morning and the other h alf in the afternoon, meeting in th e Uptown Theater . The graduates assembl ed in their caps and gowns at various place3 on the campus and promptl y at 10:00 a .m. marched to Jackling Fie ld and took their seats in front of the stand that h a d been e r ect e d at th e fi1ty-yard line in front of the blea chers. The crowd soon completel y filled the bleachers and overflowed into the seats on the field. However, by 9:30 a. m. clouds were assembling again and h efore the program had proc~'e d ed '.J ar drops of rain w e r e fa~ling. Dr. C. J. Potte r '29 deliy er,ed t h e commencement addr ess 0Jl" th"

s ub ject " Perspective." Dr. Potter finis h ed his add ress a nd it was b ecoming increasingly apparent that r a in was not far off. Dr. J. D. Forres ter, Chairman of the Mining Enginee ring D epartment, began the usual routine of presenting the names of th e candidates for the degrees o-f Ba ch elor of Science in Mining Engi n eering. The large number of candidates soon demonstrated that it wo uld be a long-drawn process. Pre"ident Middlebush and D ea n WilÂŁon h e ld a hurried conference and gave Dr. Forrester the sign to e liminate the reading of names a nd mere l y have the students stand up and receive their degrees. This procedure was fol lowed by the other departments. B y the time the Bachelor'S degrees had been conferred , a hasty adjournment was taken and the candidates for the Masters degrees and the Honorary degrees w ere taken to Parker Hall seconds ahead of a downpour of rain, where the Commencement exercises were finished and the Master's D egrees, the Professional D e grees and the two Honorary degrees were conferred . The exer cise was unusual in many ways and when a ugmented by the approximate 150 who will graduate on July 29, 1950 , at the end of the summer term, will add nearly twenty -five per cent to th e number of living graduates of the School of Min es. A n ew f ea ture of the Commenceme nt program was the awarding of membership in th~ Alumni Association to all of the

graduates for a period up to November 1, 1951, as provided in the recent changes in the ByLaws of the Alwnni Association. Dr. Mervin J. Kelly '14, President of the Alwnni Association, was present to make the announcement. Before Dr. Kelly's turn came on the program, how.ever, it was necessary to adjourn to Parker Hall, and only about five hundred of the nearly twenty-five hundred assembled were able to hear Dr. Kelly's message. A special message from Dr. Kelly concerning the Alumni Association membership is printed elsewhere in this issue of the magazine. Missing from the Commencement program for the first time in perhaps fifty years was John W . Scott ex'02 , as Director of the Band. Mr .Scott was ill in the hospital at Waynesville and passed away on June 5, 1950 as recounted elsewhere in this issue. The band was led by Professor William R. Phillips of the Faculty. Reverend G . Scott Porter, Pastor of the Rolla Presbyterian Church, gave the invocation and the benediction . Also, as part of the program in Parker Hall, President Middle-

Dr. Potter Urges Graduates to Take Active Part in Affairs of World A more active role in world affairs for engineers was urged by Dr. C. J. Potter in the School of Mines commencement address here. The president of the Rochester Pittsburgh Coal Co . Indiana , Pa. , was the speaker Monday before 737 degree candidates, largest graduating class in the history of the school. &

Dr. Potter said a lot more is going to be heard about the engineer's position in society. Heretofore, he added, the engineer has felt his position in society was all right if he belonged to a satisfactory golf club. bush presented commissions to those who had completed the advanced course R.O.T.C . and were commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Army , the candidates being presented to President Middlebush b y Colonel C. K. Harding, who is Professor of Military Science and Tactics at MSM.

" But that is not what is meant at all by those who are concerned about the engineer's position in society," Dr. Potter continued. "SOCiety wants to see the value of his talents fully realized-not confined to industry alone. One of the engineering journals carried a postwar article showing the engineer is seldom found on committees working on public problems. Only a war brings him out. Then he is called upon for technical contributions. "I don't want you to live such detached lives as did your predecessors. I want you to have perspective. We have seen a period in which the economists have been the reporters of vas t changes. Instead it may be that in the immedate future the engineer will be the man who knows. With his technical training, he may be the only one with an understanding of great scientific changes-the only one who still can talk the language of the (CONTINUED ON

New Plan Proposes Enlarged AI~mni Board of Twelve; Three-Year Terms A Board meeting of the Alumni Association was h eld in St. Louis , on May 28, 1950 to consider matters related to a proposed change in the By-laws which would broaden their scope of activities and promote more democratic representation than is now possible .

m embers instead of 4. It is proposed to divide the country into 9 Alumni Areas. Of the 12 Board m embers proposed , one is to be elected from each of the 9 .a reas and 3 from the country at large.

These · changes were incorporat- · e d into·' a letter from Pres. Kelly and submitted to the voting membership on June 10, 1950, together with . a post card ballot. It is .urged , that: these ballots be returned to the S ecretar y's office in Rolla promptly in order to permit subsequent details of the business to be conducted according to form.

In order to promote greater efficiency of administration it is proposed that the tenure of Officers and Board mel1lbers be increased from 2 to 3 years. To initiate the 3 yea r tenure it is proposed to el ect all twelve board members next fall , 4 Board members for 1 year, 4 for 2 years, 4 for 3 years; and thereafter 4 such members annually.

The substance of proposed changes are as follows: . The Board of Directors is to be increased from 5 to 12 members and a quorum to consist of 8

A general meeting of the Alumni Association has been called by Pres. Kelly to meet at

8 p.m. , daylight saving time, at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on August 11th to canvass t he results of the election on the proposed change. If the change is adopted, notice of the election as provided by the change will b e mailed from Rolla in time to meet the constitutional requirements for an election to be rati f ied by a general Board meeting on October 27th , the da y before Homecoming.

F. S. Elfred, '17, on Board of Olin Industries F. S . Elfred , ' 17, general manager of the explosive division of Olin Industries, Inc ., East Alton , has been elected a member of the board of directors of the Olin Industries. Stilly grad uated here in Met Engineering. H e was a member of Quo Vadis and Kappa Alpha Fraternity .

Department of Humanities Entering Fifth Year; Three-Fold Purpose In the su mmer of 1946 , just b e for e the arrival of the class of one thousand freshmen , the D epartme nts of Economics, English , and Fore ign Languages were combined to form the D epartment of Human ities and Social Studies. The Board of Curators, President Middlebush, and D ean WIlson wer e of the opinion that the non-engineering course::; had best be taught within one department. The day-to-day contacts of instructors in the different fields, the joint staff meetings, and the comcious a doption of goals to b e achieved would result, it was felt, in a more completely coordinated program of instruction in non-engineering courses. The new Department has acce pted the purposes recommended by the American Society for Engineering E d u cat ion for the humanisti c-social studies stem of the e ngineering curriculum, namely l. To help in training better engineer::;. 2 . To train better citizen s fo r life in a democracy . 3. To train individua ls fo r a mo r e complete e njoy m e n t of life. Economics Th e courses offered in Economi c::; a r e aimed primarily at training better engi n eers . In these times the engineer is called upon (0 r end er eco nomic judgment.; a nd to sit in councils dealing with problems in economi cs . Tn ..! yo un g engi neer is rather badly handicapped w hose a cad e m i ..; tra ining did not includ e instruction in the principle3 and a pplications of the principles of econom ics. Some of the course work is directe d , ho wever, toward trall1ing the student for ci tizenshi p. An und er standing of the econ omic syste m und er w hich t h e nahon lives is essential for intelligent vo ting and fo r pa rti cipa tion in public affa irs. At present a ll students a r e r equired to comple t e six semester h ours of work in Economics. Many s tud ents el ec t add itional course3 in the fie ld some as Inuch as twel v e hours a bove t h e mll1lmUm r equ irements . Courses in t 11 e Principl es of

Economics, Engineering Economics, Industrial Organization and Management, Labor R e lation , Motion and Time Study, Natural Resourc es, Accounting, Cost Accounting , P ersonn el Management, a nd Transportation affo rd the stud ent a wider choice of subject matter in Economics t h an was possibl e prior t o 1946 . English The engineer needs to know how t o express himself clearly a nd effectively in oral a nd writte n English. H e is called on fre quen tly these days to make speeches before groups a nd audie nces of varied types. His business correspondence and report.;; a r e voluminous . While h e is in an enginee ring school h e should have training in public speaking a nd in writing standard English. The D e par t m e n t requires speeches of all students in all courses in English. In addition a course in Public Speaking is given each semester in ~e v e ra l Eections. The number of stud ent ; who elect this course as partial f ulfillme nt of their English require m ents is gratifying. Enoch R . Needle,;; , a promine nt C ivil Engineering graduate of the

School of Mines, has established a fund from which prizes are awa rd ed each year in the Needles Speech Contest. The experience gained b y the students who take p art in this contest is e xceedingly valuable. In the second semester of the f r eshmen year all students must take a course in business correspondence and technical writing . This course , plus a course in Engineering Report Writing which is elected b y many students , gives the student a kind of training which will make him a b ett er engineel'. Courses in American , English , a nd World Lite rature are offered each sem e3ter with the primary purpose of increasing the stud ent' s capacities for enjoying life. The typical e ngineering student has d eveloped a dislike for good lit e rature somewhere in his grade a nd high school career. The D e partment tries to make the courses in literature of such nature that the student will carry with him in his professional life a d esire for reading the works of the b est authors, p a:;t and presen t. All students complete twelve re m es ter hours of credit in English. Six of these hours mllst b e in Freshman English , and the other six are elected, with the provision that at l east three hOllrs

must be in the field of literature. Foreign Languages The Department offers instruction in French, German, and Spanish. The courses in French and German are planned to teach the student to read engineering and technical articles in the languages. The courses in Spanish have as their purpose the development of conversational skills in those students who phm to find employment in Spanishspeaking countries. The instruction in Foreign Language3 is aimed, therefore, at training better engineers.

John W. Scott Dies, Friend of Miners John W. Scott, ex '82 , died in Waynesville General Hospital on June 5. He was 80 years old at the time of his death. Mr. Scott probably knew more Alumni of the School of Mines than any other person , as he was for 62

The courses in Foreign Languages are elective except for some graduate students and for some students in undergraduate Science Curriculum. History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology

In the interest of better citizenship a variety of courses in History , Poli tical Scien~e, Psychology, and Sociology is offered by the Department. In these critical times' a knowledge of the great economic, political, and [o:.:ial movements of the past is e3pecially desirable for a citizen in a democracy su~h as ours. Historical perspective is always important, but never so important as now. A knowledge of the workings of our government is nowadays requi ~ ite for the engineer and for the citizen. An understanding of the complexities of the human mind and personality is of prime imporbnce for the engineer. And an acquaintance with the structure and function of human institutions is necessary for enlightened citizenship and for a full enjoyment of life in organized society. A course in American Civilization which carries three semester hours of credit is required of all students for graduation. All other courses in the above fields are elective. The Department of Humanities and Social Studies now has a staff of eighteen instructors who are not only in teaching but also in helping students with their extra-curricular activities. Staff members give assistance and direction to the Band , the MSM Players, the Glee Club, the Miner, the Rollamo , the St. Pats J3oard ,

years in business at 8th and Pine Street in Rolla and for over 50 years directed the MSM Band . During his 62 years at 8th and Pine, Mr. Scott's store was always a rendezvous for the Miners. Many of them worked in his store 0 help with their school expenses. Many purchased their books and equipment from him the Student Council, and various other student activities on the campus. Registrations in the Department each semester hqve been running about the same as the total number of students in school. Thus the Department ha s several contacts witl1 each stu dent during his academic career. This challenge the staff accepts with some trepidation but with enthusiasm. Certainly mistakes are being made. With the passing of the years the Department hopes to improve its services and to succeed more completely in the realization of its purposes.

on a time payment basi:> , and students were generally befriended and helped by him over the 62 year span. Mr . Scott's fun eral services were held at the Methodist Church at 2:30 p.m. on June 7. Among the many messages of condolence received from friends and from Alumni of the School of Mines, one from Dr. D . C. Jackling, '92 , best summarizes the sentiments of those received . Dr. Jackling said , " MSM, its Faculty, the student body and the community at large will miss John's unfailing devotion to the best in terests and welfare of both college and city ." Mr . Scott's wife, the form.er Estelle Sappenfield , died three years ago. She, like Mr. Scott, was always interested in the School of Mines students . Mr . Scott is survived by his two children, J . Walter Scott, '19, and Mrs. John M . Morris, whose husband graduated from MSM in '19. He was buried in the Rolla Cemetery.

2710 Individual Students on Campus in Past Year There was a total of twentyseven hundred and ten individual students on the campus for the , ummer term of 1949 and the fall and spring semesters of 1949-1950 , according to the Registrar's records . This compares with three thousand and twenty-five students for the similar period in 19481949 , showing a decrease of approximately ten per cent. School official s expect an even larger decrease next year, this decrea~ e representing the passing of th e large number of veterans who enrolled in the school beginning with the fall semester of 1946. After next year, the enrollment should be fairly stable until about 1955 or 1956 when the up ~swin g in birth rate will be reflected in college enrollment, and at which time the registration is expected to climb steadily until b y 1960 it will have reached or ,s urpassed the high mark of the post-war registra tion . The summer school enrollment this y ear has reached a total of 620 compared to 950 la st year, this too , r epresenting th e de crease in veteran enrollment.

Orion Dexter Neal

Graduates of 1950 Class Welcomed

Dies in New York

Into MSM Alumni Association

An Apprecation by James L. Head Orion Dexter Neal, '14, died of a heart attack early on February 21 , 1950, at his residence in Rockv ille Center, Long Island , New York, after he was apparently well on the road to recovery following an initial attack the week before Christmas. News of the passing of the genial " Dex" comes as a shock to his contemporaries at Rolla. Leg ion are the stories and memories of him and of the late James A. Worley Jr. , ex ' 16, who roome d w ith him at the residence of the late Professor George R. Dean (th e present K. A. House) and boarded at the " Beanery," the headquarters then of the "stray Gree ks" enrolled at lVI.S.lVI. Neal came to Rolla in the fall of 1913 following his graduation fro m the Indiana University with the degree A.B. His major had been chemistry and during his yea r of grad u ate work at IVLS.lVI. he was an assistant in the Chemistry Department. He remained at Rolla in the same capacity for a year following graduation. While at lVI.S .lVI. he became a member of Pipe and Bowl and until his death was still a member of the Rolla Lodge A.F.lVI. At Indiana he had been initiated into Alpha Chi Sigma. Following his graduation he worked for the American Zinc Compan y at Neosha , Kansas a nd at East St. Louis, but eventually he returned to his first love, Chemistry. Between 191 8 and 1929, he was in Cincinnati first with Ault & Wiebory, m9.nufacturers of printing ink, and then with the Cincinnati Chemical Works, which was pioneering in the American dye industry based on the formulae obtained from the German dye industry after World War 1. In 1924 he became asso ci ated with the Odorono Company and it is of interest and note tl:wt at this time he made the first colored liquid nail polish. He came to New York in 1929 with the Warren (Cutex) Company and later he became Chief Chemist for Primrose Honse. In 1940 he organized the O. D. Neal Compa n y , specialists in cosmetic colors .

The rain storm that shortened Commencement exercises made it impossible for our President to welcome you into the Association. On behalf of all members of the Association we congratulate yo u upon the completion of your studies at ' our Alma lVIater. Your d e gree will grow in value to y ou through the years . We wish yo u a successful career and a life of u sefulness in yo ur chosen field, Our country needs competent engineers as never before . The chance for continuing our way of life with its individual liberties and freedoms w ithout going to war for it is dependant on a steadily increasing nat ion a 1 strength. Engineers can make the largest contribution of any profession to this end. Your Alumni Association believes that our school is making a significant contribution to this national purpose in the spl endid job of training engineers tha tit is doing. Those of us who are older can see the large improvements made by our school during the past decade. Even so there is much yet to be done. Our school needs a more adequate plant ; added buildings and facilities. It needs more money for the salaries of its teaching staff, so that it can attract even more men of highest professional st9.nd ing and it needs funds to supp ort l arger programs of research. The Association dedicates itself to aiding our school toward these worth while goals in every poss,ible way. As new members of the Association, the class of 1950 will add greatly to our strength in aid to the school. B y a recent change in the bylaws, yo u are automatically members without dues until Noven1ber 1, 1951. You may then contirwe your membership for one year upon payment of only $3.00 In succeeding yea rs your payments will be the standard for all of $5.00 . W e hope that this year is the beginning of a life membership for all of y ou. K eep our Alumni office advised of your address and you will r eceive the Alumnus regularly.

The Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy and the Alumni Association are pleased to note from the Eastern Press numerous meritorious accomplishments of Dr. Gottschalk and in addition a citation for Distinguished Service upon his retirement from Gove rnment Service . Dr. Gottschalk is a graduate of MSM in 1898 , a nd b e came P rofessor of Chemistry at hi s Alma Mater in 1900 following the resignation of Dr. E. T . Allen , who received an earned ap pointme nt to the Carn egie In stitution , Wa ~ h ­ ington , D. C. H e re ceived a Master's D egree and a Do ctor 's D egree from the University of Chicago. The material below is quoted from Dr. Gottschalk's citation. " Dr. Gottschalk counts his work as T echni ca l Advisor and as m ember of the Bureau of E ffic ie n cy on the " paper money problem", his greatest r esearch contribution. B ecause of the hig h cost of issuing paper money, thi s Bureau, now abolished , en £aged Dr. Gottschalk to conduct r esearch on this problem. From this work came his recommendation s to r ed u ce the Eize of the p aper and numerous improvem ents in printing, etc., which lower ed the C03t of issuing paper mon ey Eeveral milliom of dollar s at the out~e t and a l a rge multipl e of thi :; t hrough th e yea r .;. " Another important contribution was his dis cover y of a n ew proce , s of soap m3.king which revolutionized this industry; his work on Sponge h:l S had intern a·t ional r eco,Znition .

1 a I' ge l y r espon sible for the d ev elopmen t of y oung scien tist3, many of whom h ave reached emin ent pinnacles in the fi eld of science and engin eering both in Governme nt service a nd industry . Hi s ability as a physicist, when t h ose scientists were comparatively r a I' e in the Governmen t service, was r ecognized by a ll hi s co-worker s in the former Metallurgical Division of the Burea u of Mines. H e p er son ally conducted or ac ted in an adv isory capacity on research rel ated to physics and its a ppli cation to m etallurgy In add ition to sup ervising t h e wo rk on magnetic sepa ration , exp lo sive shatter ing and electro static separation, h e dire ct ed important r e: ea r ch e3 on m3.gn eti c prope rtie3 of powder s, leading to a n entirely n ew concept of magn eti c phenomenon in sol id aggr egates. Th is work, publish ed in scientific journals, h as r eceived intern a tion a l recognition. " In order to keep abr east of current d evel opments, on his own tim " h e s tudi ed a nd master ed a ll

the European languages, includ ing Russian and t h e various Scandinavian languages. " Dr. Gottschalk's zeal, integrity a nd ou ts ta nding service throughout his life in Government en titles hi m to the Distinguished S ervice Awa rd of t h e D epartme n t of Interior. " Signed April 26, 1950 by " Oscar Ch apman , Secretary of the Interior ." Because of his self-effaceme nt and modesty, some effort has b een n ecessar y to bring a portion of Dr . Gottschalk's acco mplishments to t h e attention of his f riends . H e contin u es close association with many of his former stud ems at M S M who r emember a nd a p · preciate his individual atten til)n to th em; this has been an i n..;pira .. tion in their work. H e is about to finish a y ear ':.; service as Res ident Representa tive of t h e University of Maryland at t h e Army Ch emical C e n t e r (Edgewood, Maryland) where a grad u ate program is under way. It is possible that t hi s association may be r evived. Dr. Gottschalk a ddress is 650 East Ca pitol St., Washington , 3, D. C .
