Over Cheni. E. way where the boys run research on scientific theories they aren ' t quite sure of. In the background a few of the implements of warfare such as centrifuges, rotary driers, evaporators, humidifiers and don ' t forget their special soy bean mill all over the place. . . The metal casting lab, Carl Cesser tapping the charge in preparation for the great day of casting the mud pies the boys have played around with for weeks. . . Professor Dana ' s prize class, C. E. 206. The boys slip-sticking through some moments of inertia. ' Tis rumored round the campus that it ' s all done with mirrors. . . An Arch. E. putting the finishing touches on one of those buildings of the future. The architect ' s drawing of the finished front elevation complete with trees and everything. . .

R. AGG. DIVISION OF ENGINEERING Eighteen hundred students — that ' s Engineering leading all divisions in enrollment. Always progressive, Dean T. R. Agg was recipient of the George Barttell award for outstanding contributions to highway progress, and this year gave engineering his fifth edition of Construction of Roads and Pavement. Personnel is on the upswing. Don Stevens ' new interviewing rooms have met greater demands for grads, showing that Iowa State engineers rank ainong the best. WOI can ' t be missed these days with its new 400-foot antenna. There is a $27,000 transmitter and a suspended studio in the new service building. Aviation has swept the campus with the arrival of the C.A.A. pilot training course. Hundreds applied and forty were accepted for Col. Bevan to train, including 35 hours in the air. Beloved by all engineers, Dean Emeritus Anson Marston received honorary mem- bership in the American Society of Civil Engineers. Electrical engineering reached forward to television with the latest equipment for experimental purposes. Head of the department, M. S. Coover, received the John Dun- lap Meinorial Award from the Iowa Engineering Society. New labs in electronics and power transmission, with improved occilograph lab and enlarged facilities for com- inunications, provide the means for greater advancements. Civil engineering established a new course in Soils Engineering. Laboratories of ceramic engineering have been entirely revamped with C. M. Dodds, newly appointed head of the department. Mechanical engineering, largest department on the campus, completed a wind tun- nel in Aeronautics Lab., installed new electric and gas welding equipment and remod- eled the machine shop to add 1 ,500 square feet of floor area.
