DEPARTMENT of CHEMISTRY The Department of Chemistry has a new head this year. Professor Frederick D. Rossini, Director of the newly established Petroleum Research Laboratory. The Department of Chemistry is carrying on the fine tradition established by President Warner in his twelve years as its head. During the present year the department has undergone considerable expansion in its graduate research program through the location here of two American Petroleum Institute Research Projects. Under the Carnegie Plan, the Chemistry Department provides instruction in General Chemistry for all first-year students in the College of Engineering and Science, and Analytical and Physical Chemistry for second- and third-year students in Chemical Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering. It maintains a complete four-year undergraduate course for students majoring in chemistry. To carry on all phases of its undergraduate and graduate program of instruction and research, the Department has a faculty of men who arc acknowledged leaders in their respective fields.

ENGINEERING and SCIENCE With the Carnegie Plan as a blueprint, the College of Engineering and Science continues mapping a progressive and comprehensive educational program. Learning scholarly thinking and breadth of ability constitute prime objectives of the Engineering School. Each curriculum is designed to educate the engineer in basic science, technological science, and the social relations. The basic science program teaches fundamental mathematics and physical science. The technological and advanced science program educates students in the use of fundamental science in dealing with engineering problems. In addition to this technical training, the Carnegie student receives a liberal education in human relations and an understanding of political and economic problems through the social relations courses. Such a background equips the engineering student with the tools to handle the creative, human, and economic phases of his professional work. A Carnegie engineer is fitted to be a competent professional man and a well integrated, responsible citizen. Dr. Webster N. Jones, Dean of the College of Engineering and Science, is deeply interested in the students of the College. Through the Student-Faculty Liaison Committee, Dr. Jones has furthered understanding and cooperation between students and faculty of the Engineering College.

Flcckcmtcin carnegie chemist club The Carnegie Chemist Club has as its purpose the bringing together of undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members of the Chemistry Department so that they may become better acquainted. The program is planned by juniors and seniors in the department with the aid of their advisor. Dr. Parr. The social calendar of the club this year included several smokers, an annual picnic at South Park and an annual banquet held in March. The club is attempting to effect the formation of the Chemist Club as the nucleus for the Carnegie Tech student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society. With such high goals set for the club, continued success is assured. FACULTY Row 1: P. Fufiani, F. Rouini, P. Sou lb wick Row 2: T. AlcxanJcr, F. Kohtnjn, D. Slarr, P. SiiyJcr, R. Pjrr
