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.

Page T wen fy-eigbl ODE TO THE ENGINEERS Southeast across the long, broad walk The engine building stands. The Engineers are mighty men, Witli black and grimy hands. Their unshaved chins and cave-man clothes Are marks to note them by. Their jackets-orange, blue and red- Afflict the passer's eye. Each day at noon they gather round To rest upon their benches. Wliile eager eyes dart up and down To rate the passing wenches. Ol Make OLIL' buildings huge and strong, To last through all the years. Suffer them not to leave our midst. Those Mighty Engineers!
