THE NEW YORK STATE CCLLEGE CF CERAMICS Acting Dean of College of Ceramics . JOHN F. MCMAHON, B.S., P.E. The laboratories, materials and kilns at the students' disposal in Binn's Hall and the new Ceramic Building are working day and night aiding scientifically and artistically inclined young men and women to become engineers, technologists and designers in ceramics and associated fields. The present New York State College ot Ceramics is largely the result ot the vision of Boothe C. Davis and John J. Merrill who, in 1900, established the School ot Clay Working and Ceramics at Alfred University. Under the direction of Charles F. Binns the School became a guiding beacon For other institutions of ceramic education, leading the way to a nation-wide program of university education in ceramics. In 1932 the School was raised to the rank ot a college. A new building was provided and much up-to- date equipment added. M. E. Holmes, Dean of the College, directed the program of development and expansion. Emphasis was placed upon the fields of ceramic art and ceramic engineering, and an intensive course in glass technology was added to the curriculum. Improvements in library facilities, development of contact with ceramic industries and expansion of extracurricular student activities have vitalized the theoretical program of study. The growth and develop- ment ot the College is substantiated by the enrollment figures: tive students in 1900 and over tour hundred in 1948. 17
