As we proceed still further into the latter half of a turbulent twentieth century, education and research increasingly become joined together as essential companion elements in our national struggle for continued world leadership in human progress and prosperity. Each is equally dependent upon the other as we strive to deveiop the new knowledge which is so essential to the solution of ever more complex problems generated by a rapidly changing environment of our own making. It was not always thus. For a long time, knowledge grew slowly, and people were even slower in learning how to put their meager knowledge to work in the development of new ideas, new processes, and new things. By the beginning of the twentieth century, a huge storehouse of knowledge had accumulated, but its constructive use in industrial progress was still in its infancy. Finally, as the physical sciences gained maturity and their engineering applications increased, this pattern was reversed, until today it seems the desire for new things must await the further development of new· knowledge. Thus, if we are to meet the ever-accelerating challenges of future years, research in all categories of social progress must be expanded and accelerated accordingly, and education both in quantity and quality must go before and prepare the way. Here at Montana Tech, our goal must continue to be so to educate our students that they will be pr pared to generate the new ideas, new processes and new things required by the society of tomorrow. Concurrently, our students must meet this dual challenge of education and research which faces them now and in future y ars if they hope to forge

these fundamental elements of progress into successful professional care rs. For the class of 1966, we wish every possible success. The first part of your professional education has be n comp let d. Professional gratification will depend upon how well you have done your job while here, and how diligently you continue your education and its application toward professional excellence. Good luck and God speed!

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in gray twilight that knows not victory of defeat, 11 is a philosophical appraisal once made by President Theodore Roosevelt.

The very existence of the vast untapped natural mineral resources of Montana and our nation virtually requires of you" ... to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs ... 11 in the age-old tradition of Montana School of Mines. Yours is th challenge to identify these traditions with your Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology; yours especially, Class of 1966, for you are the pioneers under this new banner. The backbone of our materials-hungry economy and th only r al basis of our national wealth, the economic exploration, production, and processing of our natural mineral resources demands of you the same sterling qualities of bold confidence, vision, and responsible leadership demand d of those who have gone before you under the old banner. Our name is new but our colors are unchanged and these sterling qualities still derive in the ever improving and unsurpass d 1 arning environment which prevails at Montana Tech. Yours is a firm foundation on which you can build your dreams, your future. With the help of your God, the world is literally yours, God bless you, Class of 1966.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GRADUATE RESEARCH TO MONTANA TECH A graduate research program is valuable to the undergraduate program and the school for many reasons. A graduate research program enables the faculty to develop professionally. The faculty is required to pursue several scientific and engineering fields of endeavor to fully comprehend a particular research project. This is a valuable contribution to his knowledge which can subsequently be worked into his lectures at the undergraduate level, thereby making a direct contribution to undergraduate education. The graduate program also involves teaching higher level courses. This forces the teacher to broaden his education by reading technical articles which prepares him for teaching these advanced subjects. The graduate program brings into the college qualified young men with above average abil ities who will perform meritorious service following graduation. This helps build the image of the college among the general public, thereby helping directly to recruit qualified high school graduates as undergraduate students . During the period the graduate student is at Montana Tech he makes a direct contribution by building our fund of knowledge through research. These qualified young men are also called upon to instruct classes and laboratories. This allows the graduate student to have an opportunity to evaluate their interest in teaching. A graduate program influences industries who help students. A college with a strong graduate program usually has a better reputation than one which has no graduate program. Publications in antionally circulated technical magazines on graduate projects adds pres tige to both the authors and the college. A strong graduate program genera 11 y pays for itself financially by bringing in qualified personnel in a department over and above that required for an undergraduate program allowing all instructors more time to prepare for his courses. In addition, more personnel make broader and additional funds of knowledge available to students. Research provides employment to undergraduate students and 'aids their financial needs while in college. DR. HERBERT WARREN

"Every calling has its mile of compulsion: Its rounds of tasks and duties, its prescribed man -tc -man relationships, which one must traverse daily if he is to survive. Beyond that is the mile of voluntary effort where men strive for special excellence, seek self-expression more than mater i a 1 gain, and give that unrequited margin of service to the common good which invests work with a wide and enduring significance. The best fun of life and most of its durable satisfaction lies in this second mile and it is only here that a calling can attain to the dignity and distinction of a profession."

Montana .... is a land of beauty and variety. Small wonder that this should be called the "Big Sky Country." The opportunities in this land are as limitless as the sky under which we live. To those who now leave Montana Tech to challenge this "Big Sky" we wish the ultimate in success and happiness.

ENGINEERING SCIENCE This new concept in engineering education was developed to fulfill a major need in the rapidly growing technology of our nation. Scientists and engineers are discovering and exploiting new and fascinating fields so rapidly and in such varied directions that increasing numbers of engineers must be trained to satisfy the essential needs in these areas. The traditional engineering education, although still vital in our country, does not give the sufficiently broad training for these new activities. As a result, necessary engineering and scientific concepts are studied in this curriculum to provide a broad understanding of principles applicable in these areas.

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING The Petroleum Engineer is concerned with the practical economics of efficiently producing oil and gas. His engineering responsibilities include the design of the drilling, production and transportation systems which will provide for the most economic recovery and handling of the world's principal source of fuels and energy. His judgement in synthesizing these systems must be based on a comprehensive knowledge of the basic and engineering sciences and economics, coupled with experience. His work is challenging and competitive--for no two problems are identical nor is any system design a perfect one.

GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING The geological engineer is a highly trained geologist with a somewhat abridged engineering background. Trained in this manner, the geological engineer is in a particularly favorable position to pursue many interesting career opportunities in the mineral industries. Although his work deals mainly with geology, his knowledge and understanding of the engineering aspects of the industry allow him to work most effectively in an area where engineering necessity comm only exercises a strong control over operations.

MINING ENGINEERING The mining engineer is charged with the duty of designing systems of men, machines and techniques for the efficient and safe extraction of mineral from the earth. Mineral resources are characterized by one unique fact that makes them different from the rest of the world's raw material supply-once· extracted, they are never replenished. Thus, the mining industry is confronted with a continually changing situation because it must search for new sources of mineral-product supply farther afield and deeper within the earth.

Through the years the Chemistry Department of Montana Tech has emphasized teaching over research, but has not completely disregarded the research side of college chemistry. The Chemistry faculty has cooperated with many of the Engineering Departments in their research programs, acting as consultants and participators in those research projects with a chemical foundation. As a result of these cooperative endeavors a high degree of research competance in the fields of Analytical, Organic, and Physical Chemistry has been built up. Instrumentation to support research in these fields has also been acquired. When a degree program in Chemistry is initiated at Montana Tech the Chemistry Department will be prepared to expand its research effort on chemical problems. Undergraduate research will be an essential part of the curriculum and the department faculty has a number of projects waiting for the time that students majoring in Chemistry will be available to work on them. Anticipating this time, some research projects are already underway. This past year Dr. Ensley received a grant from the "Research Corporation" o investigate the diffusion of gases. The grant will be used to purchase equipment and to pay the salary of a student investigator. The purpose of this project is the development of a method by which diffusion coefficients may be measured quickly and accurately. Another research project, underway and which will probably receive support, is an investigation of the heats of immersion of aggregates in asphalts by micro-calorimetric measurements. This project will be coordinated with research in the Mineral Dressing department.

Research is very important for the development of the Engineering Science curriculum. The required Research Development and Design course develops the thinking and reasoning capacities of the students graduating with this degree. Sponsored research enables some of the students to be paid for their endeavor. Sponsored research is more apt to be directly applicable to immediate usage than unsponsored research. However, the value of the research endeavor is equally important to the students development and increased maturity regardless of whether it be sponsored or not. The principle aim of research endeavor in a university or college should be for the development of a students understanding of natural phenomena, and its application to the growth of mankind's utilization of the bounty of God.

The Department of Geology offers the Bachelor of Science Degree, which is subdivided into two options-mining geology and petroleum geology. The Master of ,Science degree is offered in either geology or geological engineering. During the 1965-66 academic year, the department of geology had had two graduate students working on research projects. Mr. Donald C. Hruska, who is the recipient of an Anaconda Company Fellowship in geology, has been engaged in a geological study of an area along the east slope of the Big Belt mountains. Mr. Alec Lindquist, graduate student from Whitehall, Montana, has been engaged in a combined geological-geochemical study of the Whitehall mining district, located just a few miles north of his home town.

The Mathematics Department at Montana Tech. is not currently engaged in any research of its own. One of its important functions, however, is in assisting other departments when their research involves questions pertaining to mathematics. Many researchers in the engineering fields taught at Montana Tech. find that in order to be able to draw the kind of conclusions from their experimental work that they need to draw, extensive use must be made of mathematical principles and procedures not taught in the mathematics courses they have studied, and find they need some explanation of some of the procedures and reasoning which are applicable to their special problems. When possible, the Mathematics Department tries to help these people discover just what mathematical principles are needed in their investigation and how to use them.

Research in the Metallurgy department is carried on at two levels, undergraduate and graduate. At the undergraduate level, the research project may be, but is not necessarily, completely original in character, wheras the graduate level research must be original in character. The department is active in both physical and extractive metallurgy research. In recent years, some of the research has been financially supported in various ways. During the 1965-66 academic year, the department was active at the undergraduate level with a National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Participation Program grant which provided funds to support three metallurgy students and one engineering science student. Graduate research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Anaconda Company.

Research activities conducted by the Department of Mineral Dressing consist of both applied and fundamental projects. In addition, all projects are subjected to sufficient analysis and design to establish well-oriented, yet flexible investigations. That is, utilization of sound engineering and research organization principles, in conjunction with achievement of stated goals, is practiced throughout the execution, modification and interpretation of all research endeavors. Currently, the Department of Mineral Dressing is participating in a variety of sponsored research projects. Among these projects is one entitled "Asphalt Durability and Its Relation to Pavement Performance-Adhesion." This study, which includes the innovation and development of sophisticated instrumentation, is an investigation of the fundamental properties of asphalt-aggregate systems. The research approach in this investigation centers about measurement and interpretation of noted electrical phenomena which arises from the tangential movement of two adjacent phases. Other current studies include applied and theoretical investigations pertaining to the selective separation of a host of valuable sulfide minerals as well as antimony oxide minerals. These investigations are conducted by students, both undergraduate and graduate, under the supervision of the Mineral Dressing Faculty. Past, and easily re-initiated projects in the Departrr..ent of Mineral Dressing, include comminution studies, process and engineering design problems, organic reagent investigations, and many mineral separations studies. Thus, it is seen that the research spectrum in the Department of Mineral Dressing is far reaching and is conducted for the full benefit of the student in both undergraduate and graduate levels.

The degree in Geophysical Engineering was offered by the College for the first time this year, hence the Geophysics section of the Physics Department is still getting on its feet. However, some steps have been taken to do research. The Geophysics Department will be working the summer of 1966 with the Groundwater division of the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. With the use of the seismograph truck, generously donated to the College by Independent Exploration Limited, refraction seismic will be shot in several Montana intermontane valleys to determine the depth to bedrock, hence helping the determination of the ground-water reserves. Portable geophysical equipment does not have the necessary depth of penetration, consequently the depth to bedrock in several deep Montana valleys is not known. The use of the seismograph truck should remedy this situation. It is also proposed shooting reflection seismic in these valleys. It is possible that the shape of the reflected waveform is indicative of the material through which the wave shape could be indicative of waterbearing media. It is proposed investigating the possibility. The technique of "Induced Polarisation" has been used by the mining industry for several years for locating sub-surface ore bodies. It is possible that "Induced Polarisation" can locate ground water. Very little work has been done in this field and it is hoped that this idea can be worked on in the future at this College. All in all, the geophysics section of the Physics Department is new, is still getting on its feet, but at least it is active.

Among the more important projects conducted in the Mining Engineering Department during the past several years has been research in placing hydraulic fill underground. The success of these research projects has contributed significantly toward improved mining methods at mines around the world. The continuationofthisresearchduringthepastyearwas sponsored by the Pacific Power and Light Company. Another important project, now under investigation, involves reducingthe permeability of rock to control inflow of water. To accomplish this, various cements and chemical grouts are injected into the rock. Improved methods of placing concrete underground is another field in which research is currently being conducted. Because of the large amount of concrete now being used in underground mines, the results of this project could be an important contribution. The recent acquisition of testing equipment for use in the field of rock mechanics has permitted several research projects in which the basic physical properties of rock were investigated. Because of the important applications of this relatively new field of investigation, much of our future research will be done in the field of rock mechanics. Research using basic principles of engineering economics in conjunction with the engineering computer is another area of investigation that will receive more attention in the future.

The Department of Petroleum Engineering plans to begin research in several areas during the Fall semester of 1966 to compliment undergraduate work presently pursued by two senior students. The present work consists mainly of a library search of literature as background information for laboratory research in the future. One senior is compiling methods and techniques of conducting drill stem tests on an oil well drilling rig in order to extract the maximum amount of information from the tests. Recommendations will be made for utilizing the tests for maximum information. A need for laboratory research is almost certain to be found and the department staff will seek support to pursue this research. Another senior is writing a report on an actual oil field flood operation for presentation in the AIME Student Paper Contest. He worked in the field during the summer of 1965 gathering data for evaluating water flood efficiency. Three research projects are planned for the Fall semester of 1966. One project will consist of conducting laboratory experiments on a nickel plated steel pipe in a high pressure and high temperature bomb to determine corrosion resistance to weak carbonic acid solutions which form often in sweet gas wells. The bomb will be used to stimulate actual field conditions. The pipe will be chemically nickel plated to eliminate the possibilities of pin-point sized holes. Another project will consist of laboratory experiments for strength tests on oil well cements when mixed with various additives. A third project will be conducted to measure interfacial tension forces between the liquid and vapor phases of hydrocarbon mixtures. This research is envisioned to be a three-year project with three master degree thesis being written on the research.

The Department of Humanities and Social Studies, a member of the American Society for Engineering Education, keeps abreast of all the latest developments. Although a degree is not offered in this field it is a very important part of the students education in any field that he may choose. Student research is an important phase of the work of practically every course in the Departm ent of Humanities and Social Studies. Proper ways of preparing research papers are applied in all writing courses. In the social studies areas, such as history, students are introduced to the methodology, including basic research, used in these courses. Based on student research, which involves delving into a variety of sources, the course in Debate is invaluable in providing practical training.

William A. Vine Professor William A. Vine, head of the Department of Mining Engineering at Montana Tech, passed away on April 21, 1966, after a short illness. He was completing his tenth year as head of the department. Born in Crandon, Wisconsin, in 1911, Professor Vine studied at Wisconsin State University at Platteville and the School of Mines at Columbia University, where he was an honor student. He acquired a broad experience in mining by working as a mining engineer for the Climax Molybd num Company in Colorado, the Tintle Standard Mining Company in Utah, and the U. P. Mining mpany in the Philippine Islands. He also served as a consultant to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the Montana Bureau of Mine and Geology, and several major mining companies. Befor coming to Montana Tech, he served in the field of engineering education, both at Columbia niv r ity and at Mi ouri School of Mines. A profes ional engineer, he was secretary of the Butte Chapter of the Montana Society of Engineers. He also held memb r hip in the Society of Sigma Xi; the National Society of Professional Engineers; nd the American Institute of Minin g, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers. Prof or Vin wa an over eas veteran, serving three years with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corp during World War II. He wa a m mb r of the Methodist Church and served the Boy Scouts as a committee member. urvivor include his wife, Kathryn and a son, Calvin. Prof or Vin wa always an interested and able student of engineering and related subjects. He was d di t d to advan ing the mineral industry through performing and supervising significant research pr j ts. A lf-m d man, Mr. Vine believed in and encouraged his students in the virtue and practice of lf-r li n . Hi ngin ring ability and dedication have greatly strengthened the profession he chose to rv . Hi g od works will 1 ng b remembered not only by his associates but also by the students who p fit d fr m his comp t nt guidance.

Edward F. Simonich "Big Ed" Simonich's entire life may be exemplified by the philosophy that he passed on to his teams: "Don't give up whether it is a football game or the game of life, don't ever quit." Although plagued by an incurable illness, he faced life with the same determination with which he inspired hi teams to victory and even though the illness slowly vanquished his body, his spirit was never broken. So great wa this determination that he earned a birth as one of the most highly regarded coache in the orthwest. It would be easy to rest on past records when they are as good as "Big Ed's". H wa All- tat in high school at his hometown Ironwood, Michigan, and he later made All-American at otre D m , where he lettered three years. He was a hero ( one of his most memorable events was when he cored th winning touchdown for Notre· Dame against Army , a scholar graduating cum laud with hi clas , nd a professional football player with the Chicago Bears. Yet, he never stopped. When he made it to the top, he looked for new heights to scale and he always found them. His great love for sports and interest in youth led him into the coaching ranks, and ther h compil d a most enviable record. Following his beginning at arroll College where he produced two title-winning teams, he went to Butte Central to coach Central to one championship and two runner-up victorie . Again in 1955 he returned to Central to beat Butte High and produced another runner-up team. inally. in 1957 he went to what was then the Montana chool of Mines, where his greatly underman d club became respected by all. But it is a leader of men that "Big Ed" will mo tly be rem mbered, for he et an xampl n v r t b forgotten by those who knew him. Butte, Montana, and his beloved family have lo t a great citiz n, fin ducator and band and father. The death of Edward Simonich wa a ource of grief t u , but hi rv · as an inspiration for the high ideals he repre ented. ay he re t in pea .
