ARMOUR RESEARCH FOUNDATION Since its inception in September of 1936 the Armour Research Foundation has been one ofthe most outstand- ing features of Technology Center. It occupies a unique position among the research organizations of the nation in that it is an incorporated non-profit institution operating as a division of Illinois Institute of Technology. The Armour Research Foundation is able to offer the services ofa large staff to the industries of the area for the solution of problems of industrial research. Its equipment staffs are Iarger and more diversified than any of the subscribing industries could hope to maintain individually. One of the outstanding products of the Armour Research Foundation is the famed wire recorder. Further work at ARF continues on this project and its applica- tions to the motion picture industry. Dr. ,Iesse E. Hobson is director of the Armour Research Foundation. I'Ie formerly acted as head of the Electrical Engineering Department at IIT. JESSE E. HOBSON 7 1 xx F ijlfli t 1.

Formed and sup- ported by the gas industry, IGT, through its affiliation with IIT furnishes that industry with men holding masters' degrees. These advanced degrees are offered through a co-operative program. The present goal is an enrollment of sixty students. In addition to the educational program IGT has two other primary purposes. These are the pursuit of basic research in gas technology and the carrying out of sponsored research for its member companies. To this end the IGT contemplates completion of one wing of its new building on 34th Street before the end of 1947, with completion of the entire building by 1950. Captain Elmer S. Pettyjohn is the director of the Institute of Gas Technology. Captain Pettyjohn is weII known for his work at the University of Michigan and as head of the U.S. Navy Technical Mission's oil team in Germany following the second world conflict. ff' ELMER S.
