Engineering Schools Harry Maas Ullmann, A. B., Ph. D. Head of the Department of Chemistry The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering CHEMISTRY, in recent years, has come to be one of the most important of all sciences. In addition to its engineering phase, its work now includes economic and philosophical applications. Practically all industries and processes, what- ever t heir type, have features which are based on chemical principles; consequently the man trained in chemistry or chemical engineering now has a vast field in en- gineering, manufacture, agriculture, biology, chemistry, and all the allied profes- sions and industries. His activities are no longer confined to the laboratory. The fact that so many non-chemical plants need men trained in chemical principles, s a direct manifestation of the important part which this subject plavs in human ife. The department, realizing the enormous field which must be covered in order to get a thorough understanding of the nature of chemistry, has so balanced its curriculum that the student gets a thorough insight into both theoretical chemistry and its engineering features. The economic and cultural sides of the field have not been overlooked, however, and both languages and a thorough knowledge of chemistry and its applications, a fundamental training in all science and in other engineering fields is also attained. Either pure theoretical or research chemistry or the many phases of chemistry in industries, may be studied. The establishment of a Research Department at Lehigh by the various oil and paint companies throughout the East is a fitting testimonial to the work which has been done in this line by the department. Ten graduate Fellows are at present engaged in extending knowledge of industrial processes and fundamental chemical constants. Six organizations of various industries are supporting this research. The most extensive investigation is the special research in linseed oil and other drying oils, is supported by two of the leading producers of linseed oil and by their affiliated industries. The department is primarily interested in guiding the oncoming chemists and therefore maintains a constant relation between students and teachers. In- spection trips throughout the East are made by the senior class each spring in order to observe at first hand the engineering problems with which they will be later confronted. A close relationship between the department, under-graduates, and alumni is also maintained, with mutual benefit to all. •4 28 l!=-

The Department of Civil Engineering Ralph Justin Fogg, B. S. Head of the Department of Civil Engineering IT WAS the intention of Judge Parker, in founding the University, to afford young men the opportunity of an education for those professions represented in the development of the resources of the Lehigh V ' alley. In pursuance of this plan, the course in Civil Engineering was one of the first outlined and organized. The purpose of the curriculum offered by the Department has always been to give a broad education in those general and scientific subjects which form the foundation of all engineering, and a special training in the field of Civil Engineering. Beside receiving theoretical instruction in the classroom, the students have an opportunity, — through the Fritz Engineering Laboratory which is operated by the Department of Civil Engineerings — to not only carry on tests in engineering materials and hydraulics, but also to keep in touch with experimental investigations on many notable engineering structures. At the Laboratory, extensive tests have been conducted on the cables and suspender ropes of the Philadelphia-Camden and Detroit River suspension bridges, and also lining castings of the Holland Vehicular Tunnel. Realizing the importance of engineering research, there has recently been established, in the Department, a Research Professorship of Engineering Materials. Willis A. Slater, formerly of the Bureau of Standards, has been appointed to fill this position. Professor Slater came to the Department directly from the investi- gational work made on the Stevenson Creek Test Dam in California where he was in charge.
