Owens was named executive director of the Research Foundation in 1946. He was chief technical aide to a section of the Na- tional Defense Research Com- mittee previously. A native Kentuckian, Dr. Owens was graduated from the University of Chattanooga in 1928. He is the author or co-author of II scientific papers on optics, spectroscopy, and glass tech- nology, and the co-inventor on four patents on photo-chemical processes and the purification of graphite. rt “Tubute to Research and ESEARCH AT OHIO STATE is big business, having received support through contracts with government and industry amounting to millions of dollars in the past several years. Grants from industry and gifts from individuals have also been of great value in developing the research programs. The prestige of our laboratories is steadily mounting. The University has outstanding research laboratories in many fields ranging from business research to nuclear physics, and from cancer studies to rocket motors. LEFT: Dr. F. H.

Once again, now as in 1943, our campus is being threatened by the spectre of war. Once again the men have been called to the service of their country. The thought that fewer than two-thirds of those who enrolled in the Fall of 1950 will be back in '51 leaves everyone with a disturbed feeling.

Jevelopment Through the efforts of the Research Foundation, directed by Dr. James S. Owens, and loyal alumni supporters of the Development Fund, the research projects are receiving a tre- mendous boost. The University’s objectives are summed up in the words of Dr. Alpheas W. Smith, Research Foundation president and dean emeritus of the Graduate School, “An active research program directed by creative scholars is essen- tial for the training of those leaders who can make sure that the achievements of each generation exceed those of the pre- ceding generation.” Gentlemen—we, the students, salute you.
