Dr. Kelly Receives 1961 Hoover Medal Dr. Mervin J. Kelly ' 14, ¡former Chairman of the Baard of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., received the 1961 Hoaver Medal for " distinguished public service." The Medal , established in 1930 by faur engineering societies, was presented in person by former President of the United States, Herbert Hoover, far whom it is named.

The citation, which was read by Walker L. Cisler, Chairman of the Hoover Medal Board of Award and President of the Detroit Edison Company reads: "Engineer, scientist, distinguished leader in industrial and military research whose dedicated efforts and engineering skill have contributed to greatly improved communications; who has furthered the cause of engineering service to mankind through inspired leadership in the creation of a great United Engineering Center."

The 20-story United Engineering Center houses 19 engineering groups representing some 300,000 engineers.

Both Dr. Kelly and Mr. Hoover were active supporters of the plan to erect the center. Mr. Hoover was honorary chairman of the dedication ceremony.

Dr. Kelly was born in Princeton, Missouri. He received his bachelor of science degree from MSM and his Ph. D. in physics at the University of Chicago in 1918 .

Dr. Kelly began his Bell System career as a research physicist with the Western Electric Company, in 1918.

His work for the first ten years was in the areas of thermionic emission, gaseous discharge phenomena and electron dynamics. His area of technical interest was broadened in 1928 with work on the applications of accoustics in telephony. In 1934 he was appointed Development Director af Transmission Instruments and Electronics at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., and Directar of Research in 1936.

In 1951 he was named President, and became chairman of the Board in 1959 shortly before his retirement.

He hais received many honors and awards for his achievements in public service activities. His alma mater conferred an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree on him in 1936.

The Haover Medal was established in 1930 by the American Society af December ,1961

Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petraleum Engineers; the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

Former President Dwight Eisenhower was the recipient of this Haover Medal award in 1960.

Dr. Kelly has been retired from his services with Bell Telephone Labaratories and he is now consultant to the presidents of International Business Machines, Bausch & Lomb, Inc., and Tung-Sal Electric, Inc. He is residing at 2 Windemere Terrace, Short Hills , New Jersey.

Hoover, and the award of the Hoover Medal to Dr. Mervin J. Kelly ' 14 , former President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Dr. Kelly was instrumental in the formation of a committee which raised funds that insured the construction of this new building.

President Hoover made particular comment concerni ng the impo rtant role that Dr. Kell y had played in the financing of the Center.

Engineering students of the United States were represented by Mr. William L. Hallerberg, a senior in Metallurgical Engineering at MSM, who spoke concerning the future of the E ngineering Center and what it means to present day engineering students.

Mr. Hallerberg is 21, lives in Kirkwood , Missouri, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Hallerberg. His father is a stock broker. He is on a scholarshi p, on the Dean's list and holds the Curator's Award. He is treasurer of Alpha Sigma Mu; honorary Metallurgical organization; a member of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity; a member of the MSM Band; a member of student engineering chapters; sec; etary and international rep resentative of Gamma Delta, religious service organization ; an editor and business manager of Roll amo, a year book; President of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity; member of the Student Union Co uncil; member of Theta Tau, engineering fraternity.

In Kirkwood High School he was simila rly prominent in many extra-curricular activities.

I n his speech before the la rge a udience Hall erberg stated, " Here, then, is the real challenge to us, the engi neers of tomorrow. True, it will be our responsibility to design larger buildings, to build higher fl ying ai rcra ft, and more reli able rockets. But if we are to do these things in the wo rl d of tomorrow, it is also our respo nsibili ty to make sure there is a world for us to work in.

Perhaps we can replace the jealousiesthe unreasonabl e ha treds-the insane competitions that dominate intern ational rela tions and substitute the rational app roach that has bro ught such progress in engin eerin a a nd science. I cannot promise what we wi ll do--on ly what we intend to do . I can ass ure yo u that we a re a nx ious to tak.e our place in the world - the engineering world a nd the wo rld of civili zation - a nd match or surpass the achievement of the past."

T he 196 1 Alumni F und was discussed and the decrease in the number of contributors under the previous year. The total contri butoi's for the 196 1 Alu mni Fund was 2260 compared with 2390 in 1960. The boa rd again voted to have

the six schola rshi ps of $500.00 each to be un derwritten by the Association. The budget for the 196 1-62 was lxesented and approved . A sta tement of the Associa tion's fi nancial status will be found in thisl issue o¡f the MSM ALUMNUS and the approved budget for the next fi scal year.

The board set as a goal, 2650 contributors to the 1962 Alumni Fund and a budget of $23,000.00 . Th ey would like to a ttain a co ntributi on from 40 per cent of the alumni. This is yo ur Associa tion, and only yo u can make it a strong organization.

the amount. If all alumni contribute someth ing, the Association will attain its goal financially and naturally its goal for the number of contri butors, The Board is interested also. in establishing new Sections of the Association, This is accomplished only by alumni in the area. They must have interest in an alumni group to make it successful and active. It is the Alumni Sections that keep the organization together , and there are many areas in which there a re a sufficient number of alumni to have an active and succe9Slful Section , New officers for Areas 1, 5, 7, and 9, were elected by alumni in these areas by mail ballots sent to them in August.

Miss Diane Watkins

Crowning of Queen To Be Annual Event The practice of nanling a Homecoming Queen was inaugurated at the 196 1 Homecoming. There were 18 candidates for this coveted honor chosen by fraternities and organi zations. Miss Diane Watkins, representing the Triangle Fraternity, was selected MSM 's Homecoming Queen for 196 1. She was chosen by the Student Unio n Board and the Student Union Special Events Committee.

Miss Watkins is a very attractive blonde from Benton, M issouri and attends Southeast Missouri State College .

She was crowned at half-time at Homecoming's foo tball game by two members of MSM's football team .

Taking second ,llld thi rd places in the Queen contest were Miss Sandra Ki rchoff of Kar,a Sigma Fraternity a nd Miss Ellen Impson of E ngineers Club, respectivel•.

All the lovely cand idates for Homecoming Queen were honored Saturday night at the Student U nion Homecoming Dance.

T he halftime s,how of the MSM Homecoming game was kicked off by the School of l'dines band. " A Wonderful Guy" was played for Governor Dalton, and the alumni were honored by the playing of the " Missouri Waltz " Next came the parade of the Queen candidates followed by the crownjng of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Diane Watkins . An interesting side light was provided by the pledges of Kappa Sigma Fraternity , as they presented their own Homecoming Queen, Bob Ricketts.

T he halftime activities were concluded with the annual running of the Pajama Race. For the second year in a row, the Kappa Sigma Pledges took horne the trophy.

The naming of a H omecoming Queen will add materially to the homecoming weekend events. This " first" one was very well staged and was well received by the Homecoming crowd.

There seems to be a weal th of material for the Miners to choose a lovely queen though coeds are scarce on the MSM campus which will not permit the entire roster to be chosen from our ranks.

The first Homecomi ng Queen was a very representative person and set a mark for choosing the queens in futur e years.

The dedication of Missouri 's first nuclear reactor, Saturday, October 21, brought the H onorable J olm M . D alton.

Governor of Missouri , and many other dignitaries to the ca mpus.

The schedul ed principal speaker Senator A. M . pradling, Chaim1an of the Atomic E nergy Commission of Missouri , was not able to be present because of the foggy weather not permitti ng his plane to land at the local airport. Also aboard the plane was J ames A. F inch, J r. , P resident of the Board of Curators of the University of M issouri .

T he day 's schedule of activities was crowded making it necessary fOT Dean Curtis L. Wilson to shuffle the program and proceed wi th the dedication.

Dr. Frank G. Foote, substituting for Dr. Nom1an Hilberry, Director of the Argonne N ational Laboratories, preented D ean Curtis L. Wilson with a block of Fermi Graphite from the nation's first atomic reactor a t the University a t Chicago. D r. Foote outlined the a tomi c age from the first discovery of nuclea r fi ssion to the present day reactors. He explai ned that graphite is an important part of a reactor and that the gift block from the original reactor, which has since been disassembled , was the first pi ece of any size that the Argonne Nati onal Laboratori es has released. The F ermi Graphite will be displayed in the reactor building.

The H onorable John M . Dalton , Governor of Missouri , spoke bri efl y a t the cerem oni es that he was " proud the Rolla is the site of Missouri 's first nuclear reactor. " The Governor accepted the keys to the building from Alan J. Hoener '36, th e architect, and in tum presented them to Dr. Elmer E llis, President of the Univers1ty o f Missouri .

Also participating in the dedication activities were Gene Sally of Rolla , a member of the Missouri Atomic Energy Commission and several members of the state legislature.

Following the dedi cation ceremoni es in Parker Ifull the overflow-crowd pro· ceeded to the reactor building for its inspection . l1he swimming pool type reactor holds 32 ,000 gallons of water that is chemically pure and will not cond uct electricity. It is constantly re-cyded through de-chemicalization process to insure Dec;ember 1961

that it is not contamina ted with fo reign matter.

Some of the technical data concerning the reactor is as follows: The core is heterogeneous; 90 per cent U-235 enriched uranium oxide-aluminum water.

The modera tor, reflector and coolant is light wa ter. The biological shield is light water and normal concrete. Th~ critical mass is approxima tely 3.3 kilograms of U-2 35 for water reflector. The power level is up to 10 kw. The fuel elemen ts a re MTR type, each fu~l element has 10 fuel plates, each plate ap proxi mately 17 grns. U-235; ' each fuel element is 3x3x3 6 inches. We have on campus 22 full fuel elements; 1 left hand , half elem ent; 1 right hand, half element ; and 4 control rod elements.

The experim ental facilities are; 1 core access element, 1 isotope production element, 1 them1al column and 1 beam t ube. The reactor pool is 19 feet long 9 feet wide and 27 feet deep.

Annua l "Rolla Night" in St. louis to Be Jan. 15 " Rolla ight a t The Engineers' Club of St. Louis" wil be held January 25, 1962 , at 8 : 15 p. m.

T his armual a ffair brings prospective students, their parents, and friends to meet MSM p rofessors, the school's administrators, and alumni . For many years " Rolla Night" has drawn the biggest a ttendance of any function held at The Engi neers ' Club . We a re certain the same will be true at the 1962 function.

The principal speaker of the evening will be Dr. D . S. Eppelsheimer, Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at MSM. His subj ect will be, " N uclear Engineering at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. " The E ngineers' O ub is located at 4359 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 17

Dr. Ellis Cites Lag In Higher Education R. ELMER ELLIS, President of the University of Missouri spoke at the opening session of the joint regional conference of the American Alumni Council and the American College P ublic Relations Association, in Kansas City, Mo., November 26.

Two hundred and fifty representatives of college alumni and public relation activities were in attendance representing colleges and universities in eight midwestern states.

"Only parts of the Deep South and border states have lagged more behind national development in higher education than we have in this region," Dr. Ellis sai d. "While some of us on the basis of enrollment if not support can show increase relative to other colleges in our region or state, I doubt that any of us can compare ourselves with our type of insti tution nationally and say that our over-all position is relatively better than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

T his has its results in industrial development, in population grow th and in all aspects of our society. Our inability in the recent past to expand our resources for higher ed ucation a t the national rate or better is a major factor in our low popula tion growth and slow industrial development. Our lack of scholarship funds bleeds our region of a good percentage of our best minds to distant institutions and these people rarely come back. " "More than one-half of the federal grants in universities for research go to just fi ve institutions, none of them in our region. Seventy-nine percent goes to just 20 universiti es. I have not seen this list, but I have grave doubts that any of these are in our region. The 66 universiti es that receive 92 percent include several in our a rea, of course, but the pickings are small when 46 institutions divid e 13 percent of the total. " Dr. E llis said national support goes to schools that are supported locally and that the amount received in government or foundation grants actually is dictated by alumni and area busil1esses.

Dr. E llis stated further tha t, " We may or may not like to do it, but fund , raising is a vital and unrel enting force i'n our fuhlre. To carry out our destiny as institutions we must have our needs . known and implement our programs to satisfy them. "

Famed Company Makes Grant to Met. Department The well known firm of Ball Brothers Incorporated, M uncie, Indiana has established a fellowship in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering a t MSM. The famous Ball Brothers Mason Jars are familiar to almost everyone, but the company has expanded in other fields and now has a variety of metallurgical interests.

Rolling of zinc by Ball Brothers was originally started to provide material for the old type zinc screw cap· for jars.

Now Ball BrotherS! is a major producer of zinc battery cans, lithographers and engravers plates, as well as strip and sheet zinc for the construction trade and other applications.

Ball Brothers Research Corporation with laboratories in M uncie and Boulder, Colorado is designing and building satellites for observation of the sun .

The recipient o,f the fellowship for 196 1-62 is Roy A. Smi th who holds a B. A. in Geology from the UnivensiI:\Y of Missouri in 1958 a nd a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from the Missouri School of Mines a nd Metallurgy in 1960. During the time he was an undergraduate at MSM, Mr. Smith December 1961

Jrn nUS

was awarded the Kennecott Copper Corp. Scholarship for outstanding academic work. Following graduation Mr. Smith was employed by the Kaiser Aluminum Co. at Newark, Ohio where he worked as! a research metallurgist until returning to MSM this fall.

As the Ball Brothers Fellow, Mr. Smith is wo,rking for an M. S. in MetalI urgical Engineering; his research will be concerned with the recrystallization of metals and will be directed by Professor H. P. Lei~ly, Jr.

Fees for Out of State Students to Be Raised Non-Missourians who enroll in the schools of the University of Missouri will pay higher fees next year.

Dr. Elmer Ellis, President of the University of Missouri has announced that beginning with the 1962 fall term non-resident fees for undergraduates will be $ 150.00, bringing them in line to the average of neighboring state uni versi ties.

The non-Missourians, along with Missouri students, will pay regula r inci dental fees and Student Union fees of $107.50. The increase out-of-state fee is $25.00.
