Department of Chemical Engineering. Chemical Kiigineering is a new profes¬ sion, developed within the last fifteen or twenty years. But although the profes¬ sion is new, the subject matter is as old as civilization. Chemical Engineering is, in fact, nothing but the practice of in¬ dustrial chemistry made exact and scien¬ tific, each process now being under al¬ most perfect control, whereas formerly the nature of the resulting manufactured product was subject to wide fluctuations and uncertainties. This difference be¬ tween Chemical Engineering - and the earlier industrial chemistry is well illus¬ trated in the cement industry, the modern product being sold under rigid specifica¬ tions ; in the sugar industry, almost the entire sugar content of the cane being re¬ covered as commercial granulated sugar in modern mills and refineries; and es¬ pecially in the iron and steel industry, modern practice enabling the iron master to put on the market special steels of greatly varying properties, adaptable to almost any engineering requirement. The cotton seed industry—the “elixir of life” of the New South—furnishes a pleasing example of successful chemical engineering. By taking the raw materials of nature and fashioning them into useful articles of commerce, the chemical engineer is comparable in his economic relations with the agriculturalist who, through living organisms, tranforms the carbonic acid of the soils into our food supply—with this distinction, that the value of the manufactured porducts exceeds many fold the total of all agricultural products. One word should be said about the recent developments in pure science which have rendered possible the crea¬ tion of a Chemical Engineering profes¬ sion. The developments which laid the foundation for this new profession are usually classed under the head of Phys¬ ical Chemistry—a science which drives into oblivion all old mysterious notions concerning chemistry—the “black art”— and explains nearly all known chemica 1 phenomena by the help of modern idea’ of kinetics.
