D OWN through the ages man has been an Empire Builder. Empires of the past have been defined by geographical limits, composed of subjugated peoples, and main- tained by the Power of the Sword, The instruments of the modern Empire Builder are Science and Knowledge. With them he has delved into the bowels of the earth, penetrated the mystery of the air, and made conquests of all the forces of nature. The Missouri School of Mines has made many contributions to the ranks of these mod- ern Empire Builders, The lives and work of those men form a fitting theme for this book, and throughout its pages we have attempted to portray the result of their influence on the scientific and engineering world. To those men, graduates and former stu- dents, of our Alma Mater, who, by the applica- tion of untiring effort and engineering training, have gained acknowledgment and prestige for themselves, honor for their school, and endur- ing achievement for mankind, we, the Rollamo Board of 1933, do with all sincerity dedicate this book.
