THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING HVRRV MaAS I ' l.l.MANN A.B., Ph.O. th-tui of l i, Di-pdilment « Chimutry THE industries of today need men on their staffs that are trained in the principles and the practical applications of chemistry. It has become in recent years one of the most im- portant of all sciences. Men trained to become chemists and chemical engineers occupy responsi- ble executive positions in the fields of manufac- turing, agriculture, biology, chemistry, electricity, and all the allied professions and industries. A chemist is no longer confined to the laboratory. The fact that many non-chemical plants employ men trained along this line shows their practical value to all manufacturing organizations. The department, realizing the enormous field which must be covered in order that a student may get a thorough knowledge of the nature of chemistry, has so balanced its curriculum that the student gets a thorough insight into theoretical chemistry together with its applications to engin- eering. During the first two years, the studies include fundamental and general principles of chemistry and physics. The economic and cultural studies as applied to the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering is also obtained by the students during the four years. The department has been expanded so as to now include the whole of the south wing of the chemistry building formerly used by the metallurgical de- partment and the Wilbur Mechanical Laboratory. When complete renovation of these interiors is effected, it will double the number of class rooms, lecture rooms, private and research laboratories. Much new equipment is being added, among which is an X-Ray machine for the analysis of materials. The establishment of a Research Department at Lehigh was brought about several years ago and it has grown until today it is one of the largest and most complete of its kind in the East. The Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and the Wm. O. Goodrich Company jointly sponser five research fellowships; the Hunt-Rankin Leather Company, the New Jersey Zinc Company, the Columbian Carbon Company, the Barrett Company, and the R. K. Laros Silk Company each sponser one research fellowship, and there are two H. M. Byllesby research fellowships. Besides these, there are two Student Research Fellowships which are supported by the freshman classes in chemistry each year. The founding of such fellowships shows the need for highly trained men in the industrial world and how the Chemistry Department of the University is equipping its graduates so that they may fulfill the requirements for the better positions that are offered by industrial concerns.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING T ' HE Civil Engineering Curriculum proposes to give a broad education in those general and scientific subjects which form the foundation of all engineering, and a special train- ing in its own field, which covers the construc- tion of highways, railroads, harbors, docks and terminals, bridges, buildings, foundations, tunnels, and many other modern civil engineering pro- jects. In accordance with this plan, the Civil De- partment was one of the first organized at Lehigh. The first two years are devoted primarily to such fundamental studies as are necessary in preparation for the technical work which follows. The junior and senior years are devoted to instruc- !■ I ' t,,(,, i; s tion in structural design, highway and railroad l)i-l arlmrnt (if construction, hydraulics and sanitary engineering. (,ii ' i hngiiiiennii j gj g ■ graduate a knowledge of the funda- mentals of business, courses in economics, accounting, and finance have been placed in the curriculum. These subjects prove very useful to those who later seek advancement along sales, managerial and executive channels. Supplementing the theoretical work of the classroom, practical instruction is available in the Fritz Engineering Laboratory. Here the students have an opportunity not only to carry on tests in materials and hydraulics, but also to keep in close touch with the extensive investigations on many notable engineer- ing structures. A six weeks ' course in practical surveying is given at the con- clusion of the freshman year which exemplifies field operations in the best manner and acquaints the student with the best types of surveying instruments. The Civil Engineering curriculum as a whole, including as it does mathe- matics, pure and applied science, general engineering and business subjects, affords a thorough training in system, arrangement of work, accuracy in figures and logical thinking, so that the student has the proper training to enter not only the engineering profession, but also any business organization, should he not care to follow strictly engineering work.
