Homecoming Celebration Draws 1000 Alumni; Five Classes Hold Reunions, Miners Beat Bears The 1959 Homecoming brought approximately 1000 alumni back to the campus. There were eight class reunions planned and five of them materialized . The Classes of 1924, 1934, 1939, 1944 and 1949 had a sufficient number of their members return to have reunion luncheons. Again at the 1960 Homecoming there will be eight class reunions planned, beginning with the Class of 1915 and the classes at fiveyear intervals to the Class of 1950.

At the Annual Meeting and Convocation, Rex Whitton, Chief Engineer, Missouri State Highway Department, gave the address and was given an honora ry membership in the MSM Alumni Association. This recognition was also ext.ended to Leslie Cowan, former VicePresident of the University of Missouri who is now retired . The Certificate of Merit was awarded to two distinguished alumni , Walter E. Remmers '23 , President, Pittsburgh Metallurgical Company, Niagara Falls, ~. Y., and Joseph H. Reid '27 , Vice-President,

National Lead Company, New York, N. Y. Mr. Reid was prevented from being present because of business commitments and he asked that George A. Easley '09, serve as his proxy.

The Miners came through with a victory over the Springfield Bears for the returning alumni .

Approximately 200 alumni and guests assembled for the Annual Alumni Banquet at the Rayl Cafeteria on the MSM campus. Jack R. Glatthaar '39, in his excellent manner was the master of ceremonies for this occasion.

All of the planned gatherings were well attended and the alumni who returned especially for Homecoming appeared to have no regrets.

Make arrangements now to attend the 1960 Homecoming. The exact dates have not been determined yet but it is probable that it will be the last week in October. The alumni who are members of the five year classes, mentioned above, should return for their reunions .

You will enjoy the entire weekend.

1959 Graduate Wins Award for Bridge DeSign Troy Richard Roberts '59, a Civil Engineering graduate, has been named winner of a $500 third honorable memtion award for his student entry in the Steel Highway Bridge Design competition sponsored by the American Bridge Division, U. S. Steel.

Troy R . Roberts

The competition, which offered 15 professional and student awards totaled $44 ,000, attracted 300 entries from the nation and abroad. It was held and judged under the auspices of the American Institute of Steel Construction.

November December 1959

Object of the event was " to stimulate more imaginative, effective and economical use of strong, modern steels in overpass structures that must bridge superhighways at frequent intervals."

It is estimated that more than 41,000 bridges will be needed for the network of interstate and defense highways the nation will build in the next 15 years.

Mr. Roberts described his awardwinning design as a " two-hinge arch, half-through type overpass."

The bridge, which has a 149-ft., 4-inch span, requires 85 tons of steel, plus 130 cubic yards of concrete for its twolane roadway deck.

In commenting about specific features of his award winning entry, Mr. Roberts said, "The bridge was designed without lateral bracing; the rigid frame-type hanger and floor beam provide the necessary lateral stability. The stringers were designed as continuous beams over four supports, with an expansion detail at the center floor beam to prevent the floor system from acting as a tie for the arch. The bridge presents a pleasing appearance due to its simple lines and graceful arch rib. This design lends itself well to prefabrication and could be erected quickly and economically. Because of the clear span design , the oncoming motorist is not greeted by a large, unsightly intermediate piers. Since welding is used extensively, much of the fabrication on

The Non-Ferrous Founders' Society at their annual meeting, Bedford Springs Hotel, Bedford, Pa., elected M. E. Nevins '4 1, national President of their Society for 1959-60. Mr. N evins is president, Wisconsin Centrifugal Foundry, Inc., Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Mr. Nevins developed and directed the Consumers Survey of the Society as chairman of the organization's standardization and product development committee during 1956-57. This became the foundation for the Society's present Marketing Program.

As director of the Cast Bronze Bearing Institute, he led the move which

M . E . Nevins

made the Institute a product group of the Society. In 1945, he formed his own company and he is also President of the Wisconsin Stainless Foundry and Machine Co., and Vice-President of Waukesha Smelting Co. Mr. and Mrs. Nevins live at 329 Windsor Drive, Waukesha, with their four sons and four daughters.

National Science Foundation Makes New Grant For Research on Crystalline Imperfections The Missouri School of Mines has received a supplementa ry grant of ~22, 300 from the Natio na l Science Foundation in support of basic research in " determination of imperfections by the xray a nd density method."

Dr. Martin E . Straumanis The research project is unde r the direction of Dr. Martin E. Strauma nis, Resea rch Professor of Metallurgy . The national Science Foundation had pre -

8

viously gra nted $17 ,000 toward this investigation , a nd the p resent fund is fo r a two-yea r ex tension from October 26 , 1959.

Dr. St ra umanis sa id much of his study so far has been with pure and less pure a luminum. He explained that the study , in the main, is conce rned with crys talline im perfections. It is known , he said , that crystals of elements a nd chem ical compounds a re built up of a simple regular atom a rrangement (cubes , etc.).

If , in this regular arrangement, a certain numbe r of atoms are missing, or if other atoms are squeezed into interst ics (space betwee n atoms ) , such a n a rrangement is said to be imperfect.

Using X-ray measurements, he sa id , the dis tance between the atoms can be determ ined, a nd thus the density of the crystal ca n be calculated. Densities can also be determined di rectly by other expe rim ental methods, he added , and if a di fference results from the two independent methods of measurements, this difference ca n be attri buted to the p revalence of an imperfection.

T his type of imperfection was explored only roughly until the recent experiments at MSM, where extremely p recise measurements are being made under the research project.

A knowledge of imperfections, he said is of value in many fi elds of pure and applied science, such as electronics,

solid state physics , physical metallurgy a nd p hysical chemistry.

Dr. Straumanis states that the resul ts of the research already done under the National Science Foundation grant are being published in the J ournal of Applied P hysics, in the Acta Metallurgica, in the B ritish Institute of Metals a nd in the J ournal of Chemical P hysics. T he supplementary grant will pel mit Dr. Straumanis and hi s colleagues to continue the investigati on. H e is being assisted by Dr. William J. James , associate p rofessor of Chemistry and a t present by two graduate students; P. B .

Rao from India, and Pierre Borgeaud from Paris , France. Mr. Rao is investigating anomalies in the physical properties of pure chromium and chromium nitrogen a lloys and wi ll further investigate the metal , vanadiu m . Mr. Borgeaud is curren tly investigating a p ure silicon crystal which is considered to be free of imperfections. Other graduate students will join in the studies la ter.

Dr. Straumanis was born in Krettingen, Lithuania , but lived during his boyhood in Dobele , Latvia. H e holds the degrees of Chem ical E ngi neer ( 1925) and Doctor of Chemi stry (1927) fro m the University of Latvia at Riga.

He spent a post doctoral year a t the Un ive rsity of Goetti ngen in Germany under a fe llowshi p from the Rockefeller Foundation. From 1934 to 1944 , be served as director of the analytical labora tories and of the X- ray laborato ry a t the Uni versity of Latvia. Forced to fl ee from Latvia in 1944 he spent three years in research in the Institute of Metal Chemistry a t the University of Ma rbu rg, Germany. He came to the U. S. in December 1947, and has a ttai ned his citizenship here . During 1957-58 , he was a visiting professor (F ulbright) a t the Vienna (Austria Institute of Technology.) H e is the author and co -author of 170 publi shed a rticl es on in organic chemistry , crystal growth , X-ray crystallography and metal corrosion.

Dr. James who is assisting him in the project , received his B. S. degree at Tufts College , and M. S. and Ph. D. degrees from I owa State University, the latter in 195 3. Dr. J ames did graduate studies at Iowa State University on crystal analysis by X-ray under Dr. R .

E. Rundle and Dr. Dexter F re nch. He also spent a short time on the physics staff (in Dr. R . Pepinsky's institute) , at Pennsylvania State University, and has several publications in the field of X-ray crys ta llography .

Rotating Unit for Teaching Energy Conversion Presented to Electrical Dept. by Westinghouse T he School of Mines has been presen ted a specia lly des igned rotati ng electrica l machine unit to be used in teachi ng the basic principles of conve rti ng mechan ical energy to electrica l ene rgy and electrical energy to mechanica l energy.

This unit is a gift of the Westingho use Educationa l Foundation. It will be used by the D epartment of E lectrical Engineering in the E lectrical Machi ne Labo ra to ries of the new Electrical Eng inee ring B uil ding.

Formal presentation of the unit was made by Harold J. Kongabel, St. Louis, ~ I o., Mississippi Valley District ma nager of Westinghouse E lectri c Co rpora tio n, who rep resented the Westinghouse Ed ucational Foundation .

T he ro ta ting electrical machine was fi rst developed a t the Massach usetts I nstitute of Technology as a basic laboratory device in electromechanical energy conversion courses. Professor Lovett, Cha irm an of the Department of Electrical E ngineering a t MSM, expla ined that since all ro tating electro mechanical machines opera te on the principle that two magnets te nd to align themselves, one machine with special roto r and sta tor (revolving and stationary) coil design can be made to 10

emphas ize the conversion principle and provid e essential understa nding of the opera tion of all elec trical machines.

In presenting the unit , Kongabel said tha t it would measurably assist in furthering developments in the scienceoriented trends in electrical engineering ed ucation. " E nginee ring schools have had thrust them a n ever-increasing variety of skills," he sa id . " In order to meet these responsibili ties engineering school depa rtments a re adap ting their programs to the modern concept giving a broader understanding of basic principles. For presen ting such basic principles the most modern developments in laboratory equipment are needed ."

With the equipment Kongabel presented to Dean Curtis L. Wilson a plaque reading : " In recognition of the excellence of the engineering curriculum of the Missouri School of Mines a nd Metallurgy, this certificate was awa rded on the occasion of the gift by the Westinghouse Ed ucationa i Foundation of a generalized laboratory machine . Westinghouse had manufactured and presented this machine in the inte rest of furthering the science-oriented trend in electrical engineering edu-

English Atomic Expert lectures to MSM Students Dr. Treavor Churchman, of England, came to Rolla to lecture to the School of Mines students who are in the Metallurgical Engineering Department and are taking courses in atomic energy . He discussed the deteriora tion of metal in the atomic processing. Dr. Eppelsheimer and Dr. Churchman beca me acquainted when Professor Eppelsneimer visited Europe and attended the Geneva conference on the peaceful use of atomic energy. The School of Mines, one of the first institutions of higher educa tion to develop a nuclear energy ed uca tion program, is a lready ga ining prominence in the field , as evidenced by the fact it a ttracts men like Dr. Churchm an to the campus.

This world - renowned expert on a tomic energy, particula rly the metallurgical phase of it, is a membe r of the Central E lectrici ty Generating Board of England.

Missouri University Retains Seventeenth Place In Enrollment Among 995 U. S. Institutions The University of Missouri ranks seventeenth among all colleges and universities of the United States in the number of full-time students enrolled this fall , according to a survey by Dr. Raymond Walters , president emeritus of the University of Cincinnati.

The 40th annual survey by Dr. Walters , a recognized authority on college enrollments, covers 995 accredited universities and four-year colleges representing more than 1,000 separate campuses.

In his statistics Dr. Walters uses the full-time equivalent enrollment of students, so that in his enrollment rating he lists the University of Missouri as having 12 ,987 students in all divisions, on both the Columbia and Rolla campuses. Actually, the University of Missouri now has 13,179 individual students enrolled, of whom 10,140 are on the Columbia campus and 3,039 in the School of Mines. The figures are based on enrollment at the close of the third week of classes, and do not include a number _who have enrolled since.

The sixteen institutions listed by Dr. Walters as having larger enrollments than the University of Missouri are, in the order of rank: University of California, State University of New York ; College of the City of New York ; University of Minnesota ; University of Michigan; University of Illinois ; University of Wisconsin ; Michigan State University; University of Texas; Ohio State University; University of Indiana; Purdue University; New York University; University of Washington ; and Harvard University.

The University of Missouri ranked seventeenth last year also , and the institutions that outranked it are the same. However, there have been changes in order of rank in the first 16, including a drop in the rank of the University of Texas from seventh to ninth place, the University of Wisconsin having moved from eighth to seventh place, and Michigan State from tenth to eighth place. Ohio State was ninth last year, is now tenth. Purdue went from fourteenth to thirteenth place, passing New York University.

Dr. Walters reports that current

2650 16

American college and university enrollments are up for the seventh successive year, a gain of 4¡% over last fall , and an all-time record. While Dr. Walters calls the gain over 1958 "small but significant" he notes that the advance in full-time equivalent students has been made in spite of the departure of more than 90,000 Korean War veterans whose entitlement to higher education has expired.

As the best indication of current trends , Dr. Walters points out that freshman enrollments have gone up 4.5 per cent, the increase being 1.4 per cent in men and 9.4 per cent in women.

However, two categories of freshmen show a drop of 1.5 per cent in agriculture programs, and of 4.7 per cent in engineering. He comments that while the drop in engineering freshmen is less than the drop of 7.6 per cent in 1958 compared with 1957, the "current dip is nevertheless another warning signal" in view of Soviet Russia's advances in engineering.

Arts and science freshmen enrollment has made the largest gain , with 6.9 per cent; teacher-training freshmen are up 6.3 per cent; and business administration freshmen, up .3 per cent.

At the University of Missouri freshman enrollment is greater compared to last year and is up 7.5 per cent; the gaing is 4.5 per cent for men and for women slightly more than 11 per cent.

Dr. Walters touches on the statement

by Khrushchev during his American tour that Russia has three times as many engineering students as the U. S., and on an American Society for Engineering Education finding that student motivation for superior accomplishment has been the " most outstanding feature of engineering education in the U. S. S. R ."

Dr. Walters states , " Our 132 large universities and institutions of compIes organization are steadily becoming larger, especially the state and urban universities. For 71 comparable universities under public control, the increase in full-time students is 3.5 per cent ; for 58 universities under private control, 2.2 per cent."

The University of California, the institution with the largest full-time enrollment, has 42 ,407 students in this category.

Kappa Alpha Members Now Occupy $300,000 House The Kappa Alpha fraternity has occupied their new $300,000 fraternity house which is the first fraternity house to be built in the new area set aside by the school near Nagogami Road. The new house was dedicated November 6, during Homecoming, which permitted a large number of the fraternity's alumni and alumni of MSM to inspect this magnificent southern structure that is equipped and furnished in keeping with this fine building. On Friday evening a buffet dinner was served to approximately three hundred guests.

C. C. Whittelsey '22, was responsible for this dinner. It was one of the outstanding affairs on the campus in many years.

Among the prominent alumni present were : George Easley '09, C. C. Whittelsey '22 , F . Stillman Elfred '17, Walter E. Remmers '23, Kenneth O. Hanson '3 6, George T . Dierking ' 24, Charles Barnard, Sr. '20, and Albert E. Barnard '27.

President Elmer Ellis, of the University of Missouri , and Dean Curtis L. Wilson , of MSM, were among those who inspected the K. A. 's new home.

Gas Turbine Engine Purchased for E. E. lab.

The Curators of the University of Missouri have approved the purchase of a gas turbine engine from the Curtis-Wright Corporation, of St. Louis, Mo. , for use in laboratory instruction in the Department of Electrical Engineering at MSM. The engine will be purchased at Curtis-Wright's bid of $10,486.

This piece of equipment was made possible through the Alumni Association 's Advisory Committee that was established a few years ago in the Mechanical Engineering Department.

A. A. Boyle '27, is chairman of this committee and it was through his efforts that funds were secured for this piece of needed equipment for the department.

MSM to Host Summer Institute Third Year T he Missouri School of M ines and Metallurgy has again been chosen as host instit ution for a 1960 Summer Institute, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. T he Institute will consist of courses in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Beginning June 6, 1960, and for the following eight weeks teachers fro m high schools over a large geographi c a rea, who find their interests, backgrounds and capabilities homogeneous, will pursue the courses characterized by their emphasis on the subject matter of science and mathematics.

These courses will be geared to the particular needs of the participants wi th the emphasis on comprehension of fundamental principles and their rela tionships rather than a mere review of topics covered in high school.

Teachers who have a ttended the Institute previously will find the course offe red this summer will not duplica te those taken before .

Anyone presently teaching at least one course in mathematics or the physical sciences in junior or senior high school is eligible for enrollment. This will be the third year that this National Science Founda tion sponsored Institute has been chosen for this campus.

Dr. H . Q Fuller, Chairman of. the Physics D epartment will again serve as Director of the Institute,

Nuclear Reactor Scheduled For Completion Next May T he Atomic Energy Commission has approved a construction permit for a $22 3,800 nuclear reactor for MSM.

Mr. Neuman received his B. S. degree from Drexel Institute and his M .

S. in Chemical Engineering from MSM.

November Decemb er 1959

G. S. Morefi eld '52, was the propellant expert on the project at the Naval Ordna nce T est Sta tion, China Lake, California that developed the deadly Zuni rocket and it has been put into mass production.

The Zuni has been described as the $400 rocket that can kn ock down a ten million dolla r bomber. T he Bridgeport Brass Company, Riverside, California has been given the production contract.

The 9 foot long, 5 inch in diameter, solid propellant Zuni is a tri ple threat weapon with its intercha ngable wa rheads which can smash ta rgets by penetration or blast. It can penetra te the thickest known a rmor a nd can destroy the fastest fighter planes or largest super-sonic bombers .

Miner Co-Captain Gets Sportsmanship Award The MI AA conference Sportsmanship Award, a jeweled wrist watch, was won by Louis Meisenheimer, M iner cocap tain and all-con ference tackle fo r the second year .

T hirty-seven men from the six conference schools received votes as outsta nding sportsmen in some game in which they competed this past season. The balloting is always close in selecting one man from a group of fine sportsmen, this year's vote was again extremely close and Meisenheimer just barely edged out K irksvi lle's Dale Mills.

I n determ ining the outsta nding sportsman, game officials are asked to select a ma n fo r his spo rtsmanship in all games in which a MIAA team competes. A member of the home town press and rad io is asked to select a man from the visiting team. Each athletic department in all confere nce games selects a man for this honor from their opposing team.

The following Mi ners received votes: T homas Cooper, Craig Meier, Louis Meisenheimer, Patrick O'Mealy a nd D ub Wheeler.

Gene is a two-letter ma n and plays an excellent defensive game.

Great things a re expected of John Sturm this yea r. John led the team in abo ut everything last season, such as field goal percentage .502 and total points 448. He has made all-conference two yea rs in a row, and this year he will be out to cap ture a third conference high point title.

La rry Dix , a two-year letter man is a good steady player a nd works well defensively.

The only freshman to letter last year was Jim Lemon. Jim did a fine job racking up needed points mos tly from shooting out-court.

Bob Lewis is the fastest man on the squad. Although he was sidelined with injuries part of last season, he was third on the team in points, 165, and rebounds, Ill .

Wayne Lucas received valuable player experience last year and much is expected of him in 1960 .

Other members of the squad are: Roy Sharp, La rry McCa rter, Terry 20

Wiegand , Larry Martin, Tom Lampe, Harry Hanks, Tony Stone and Jerry Kinzey.

The Miners will play four teams which they have not played before.

They are: John Brown University, Evangel College, Henderson State Teachers and Southern Illinois Universi ty (Alton Branch) .

Kirksville is the pre-season conference choice to win , and Cape is expected to be in second place. Springfield, the conference winner last year, and a runner-up in the National College Division Tournament , will be tough to beat.

The Miners will be looking for a better reco rd than last year's 2-8 conference showing and an over-all 5-15 won and lost.

As we go to press the Miners opened their basketball season with a thrilling victory, 83 to 70, over the Golden Eagles of John Brown University , Siloam Springs, Arkansas . Miners' Bob Lewis and John Sturm led their team in scoring with 18 points each. This was the first year that these two teams have met and the Miners started the game with an early lead and dominated the play throughout.

The opening victory indicates that the Miners will be stronger than last year and the new members of the squad had an opportunity to display their wares. Tall freshman , Larry McCarter, took over the center position for part of the game and did very well.

season with a 2 won and 3 lost record in conference play , and a 4 won and 4 lost in the season 's schedule . In conference standing they were in fourth place with Southeas t Missouri State, Cape Girardeau, in top position , followed by Kirksville, Maryville and Springfield and Warren sburg were below the Miners .

T he Miners started conference play with a 34 to 20 win over W a rrensburg.

Next they met the strong Cape Indians who came to Rolla for a Parents Day game. The Indians who have copped the MIAA title the last two years showed their determination to repeat by downing the Miners 30 to 7. The Kirksville Bulldogs were the Miners ' next foe and the game was played on the visitors' muddy field . And the Miners had to contend with Dale Mills, who was second in the ground gained last year in the NCAA. He carri es the ball 60 per cent of the time and has made six runs of 80 yards or better, and was the factor in the Miners' 20 to 7 defeat. The next we2k-end the Miners journeyed to Northwest Missouri for a contest with Maryville.

Again the game was to be played on a muddy field. And the Miners lost a heart-breaker , 7-6 , their third conference loss and fourth of the season.

At Homecoming, their fourth conference game and last of the season, was against the Springfield Bears . Before a crowd of nearly 5,000 the Miners came through to upset their traditional foe and give the visiting alumni a 32-8 victory to climax a fine week end of Homecoming festivities. Also the traditional Powder Keg remained with the Miners.

The Miners' season which started out in very good style was marred by injuries of their key players.

Three Miners were voted on the AllMIAA team. Tom Cooper was chosen in the backfield and Louis Meisenheimer, Rolla's co-captain , and Charles McCaw, Jr., were picked as the tackles .

Meisenheimer and Cooper were on the 1958 All-MIAA team . Bill Wheeler completed 48 passes out of 113 a ttempts. At pass reception , Tom Cooper was credited with 2l.

The squad will lose six of their senior members. They are co-captains

In all it was a very good season. The Miners did not have the depth to compensate for their injury list. The defe~t of Washington U., 27 to 15 , was sufficient to make a successful season.
