ZUeJlamm... Three years ago the Directorship of the Missouri School of Mines and Metal- lurgy was taken over by a man Well Htted for the possition, Professor William Reuel Chedsey. Mr. Chedscy, a mining engineer by profession, had worked for several years in the mineral industry, and had taught many years at the Pennsyl- vania State College. His outstanding ability in his profession is reflected by his holding the Chairmanship of the Educational Division of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. Two years ago, the Colorado School of Mines, his Alma Mater, conferred upon him the degree, Doctor of En- gineering. During his three years here, Dr. Chedsey's capable handling of his office and his pleasing personality have earned him the respect of the faculty and the de- votion of the student body. As an expression of the feeling of the student body, this book, the 1940 ROLLAMO, is dedicated to Dr. Chedsey, with the best wishes of the ROLLAMO staff and the entire student body.
