ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SCHOOL OF MINES The University of Missouri was established by an act of the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, approved February 1 1, 1839, two days after the act establishing the public school system of the state was approved. The University was located at Columbia, Boone County, June 24, 1839. The cornerstone of the main building was laid July 4, 1840. The spring following, April 14, 1841, instruction in academic courses was begun. The first class, consisting of two members, was graduated in 1 843. Woinen were first admitted to the University in 1869. In 1870 the General Assembly of Missouri, in accepting the donation of land for educational purposes made by the General Government through an Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1862, established an Agricultural and Mechanical College at Columbia, and a School of Mines and Metallurgy in Southeast Missouri. The School of Mines and Metallurgy was located at Rolla, Phelps County. Here, in November, 1871, the school was formally opened. The first class of three members was graduated in 1874. - MISSOURI BUREAU OF GEOLOGY AND MINES H. A. BUEHLER, State Geologist The Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines-or The Missouri Geological, Survey, as it is more commonly known-has its headquarters at Rolla, and occupies the Rolla Build- ing on the School campus. The Geological Survey has at the present time a library of approximately five thousand volumes and pamphlets on geological and allied subjects, and a museum of seven thousand specimens of clay, coal, barite, lead and zinc ore, iron ore, and other mine and quarry products of Missouri. The ,Geological Survey is organized principally to aid in the development of the mineral resources of Missouri. Information concerning these resources is gathered through observations in the field by members of the sgaff. Geologic and topographic maps are prepared of different parts of the state and the various formations are accurately de- scribed in accompanying reports. The relation of geology to the ore deposits is also worked out and detailed reports published concerning such investigations. The Bureau, in co-operation with the United States Geological Survey, also main- tains a water resource branch for the investigation of water power and flood prevention. Page Twenty-five

THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EXPERIMENT STATION UNITED STATES BUREAU OF MINES WILL H. COGHILL, Metallurgist and Suj2er1Jisin g Engineer The laboratories of the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the U. S. Bureau of Mines are maintained on the campus. The research work at this station is carried on co-operatively between the Federal Bureau of Mines and the State Bureau. The purpose of this station as set forth in the co-operative agreement between the School of Mines and the U. S. Bureau of Mines is To make investigations and disseminate information with a view to improving conditions in mining, quarrying, metallurgical and other mineral industries. The work of the station for the fiscal year fI927 to 19285 has been concentrated along ore dressing lines, particular attention being given to the Southeast Missouri Lead Belt. Two men from the station have been placed in this Held to work directly with the operators, and are being assisted from time to time by members from the station, who make frequent field trips to the district. THE STATE MINING EXPERIMENT STATION MARTIN I-I. THORNBERRY, B.S., Met.E., Associate Professor of Metallurgical Research in Charge of Station It is the object of the station to conduct such original researches or to verify such experiments as relate to the properties and uses of mineral products, to investigate the engineering problems connected with the mineral industry, the economic methods of mining and the preparation of mineral products, the methods of preventing waste of the mineral resources and the methods of preventing accidents in mines, mills and smeltersg to assist in improving the conditions surrounding the labor in mines, mills, and smeltersg and such other researches or experiments as bear directly upon the application of mining and metallurgical engineering to the mineral industry of the State of Missouri. During the past year over I,6OO samples of ores, clays, coals, Water, asphaltum, limestones, etc., were identified, tested or analyzed in some manner by the staff of the Experiment Station for citizens of Missouri. The State Mining Experiment Station is also co-operating with the Bureau of Mines. During the past year more than 3,000 samples have been analyzed for the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the Bureau of Mines. THE MISSOURI CLAY TESTING AND RESEARCH LABORATORIES , M. E. HOLMES, Ph.D., Director. The Nlissouri Clay Testing and Research Laboratories operate under the general direction of the Ceramic Engineering Department of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. Services of three kinds are undertaken: First, free technical advice to citizens or 'industries of the State of Missouri regarding ceramic problems or ceramic raw materials, second, ceramic engineering tests and chemical analyses ,of ceramic raw ma- terials and ceramic products, for which service a charge is made, third, ceramic research, part of which is fundamental in character and made available to individuals and indus- tries in the state free bf charge, and part of which is applied to the special problems of individuals and industries, for which a charge is made. ' The equipment and facilities of the laboratories are complete and up-to-date. All standard and tentative standard tests, as well as special tests and research are undertaken.
