PIONEERING FORTY-NINERS Exactly one century ago, as many as 70,000 prospectors traveled across the wilderness in long swaying wagon trains; sailed to Central America and then overland; or sailed around the stormy Cape Horn in proud clippers to the West Coast in search of gushing riches. Although comparatively few actually found large shares of gold, those pioneers, with a “let’s-do-it” spirit, accomplished a far greater goal when they opened a vast new frontier. The pioneering spirit still profoundly shapes American beliefs and attitudes. Americans warmheartedly applaud the man who breaks new ground or attains new heights, regardless of his origin. Only here in America, a land of challenges, can people make such progress, pro¬ vided of course, they display ability, courage, character, imagination and perseverance. Our country is one of constantly expanding prosperity and tech¬ nological advances. As a result, opportunities today are far greater than they were one hundred years ago. Today there are more challeng¬ ing careers for ambitious capable men and women than can be met. There is, for example, an ever increasing demand for personnel with a technical background to assume responsible positions on the sub¬ professional level. To help meet this demand, there have been estab¬ lished in New York State five new institutes to provide intensive train¬ ing in the technolgies and applied arts. On April 1, 1949, these units, by an act of the Legislature, became a part of the State University of New York. On September 23, 1949, one hundred and forty bold young men and women, willing to pioneer new fields of service, will leave the portals of the Institute at Binghamton. Upon these and other young pioneers, the continued growth and prosperity of America depends. 3

DEDICATION MR. C.C. TYRRELL Director In April, 1946, the New York Legislature passed a bill providing for an Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences to be founded in Bingham¬ ton. The problem of securing the right person, qualified to direct its material, as well as its academic development, was the first task in forming this institute. After four months of search, Mr. Cecil C. Tyr¬ rell was selected as Director of the Institute. Mr. Tyrrell received his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. He instructed for three years at the University of Maine and for five years at Pratt Institute, and later was Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rutgers University. He was also affiliated with the General Electric Company and with the Anthracite Institute as Senior Research Engineer. With this broad educational and industrial background, Mr. Tyrrell was well equipped to mold the skeleton of this Institute into a post-high school agent to provide its students with a highly technical, yet, well rounded education. To this leader and pioneer, we, the first graduating class of The State University of New York, Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences at Binghamton, are proud to dedicate this first volume of “The Citadel”. 4
