l . ff an 'F F4 l l l .J Although the ceramic industry is over 4,000 years old, the scientific aspects of manufacturing and rapid industrials progress have developed only in the past half century. Along with this accelerated rate of development, ceramic engineerf ing education was begun and helped in the rapid advance' ment. Ceramic Engineers are concerned with the manuf facture of commercial products from nonfmetallic, earthly raw materials by firing operation. The following fields of manufacture are included: structural clayvvaresg refractories and fire brickg porcelain enamelvvareg glassvvaresg electrical porcelaing dinnerwareg abrasive vvheelsg and cements, limes and plasters. The curriculum of the ceramics department provides for a study of theifundamental sciences and allied engineering subjects, as well as all branches of ceramic engineering. ' eramic ngineering Dr. P.

p c ii eramic Zztifcling This Hfshaped, twofstory and basement, Hrefproof brick and concrete structure was erected in 1923. An additional story on one of the wings and various other changes were made in 1941 to enlarge the ,iiacilities of the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines which is housed in the building. The department of Ceramics has its laboratories, classrooms and ofhces in this building. Cn the second floor are exhibits of refractory Ware donated by various plants in the state and exhibits of other ceramic products, as well as classrooms and offices.

This twofstory brick building, one hundred feet by sixty feet, erected in 1902, contains the Mechanical Engineering Def partment. The first floor houses the stock and tool rooms, forge shop, and machine shop. Cutaway models of engines and pumps are in the shops for demonstration purposes. Un the second floor are found the finest and most upftofdate drafting equipment for the more advanced courses in mechanical design. With the influx of new students on the campus it has become necessary to hold classes in mathematics in the classrooms on the second floor of this building. l'fi5.gf1 'fmf:'r1I,yfl,um mecAanica! cya! .cc x, 3 4 3 I A 'gif ,,f,.i',w '-'x'1 ri Q, -r ff 1 173,-' ,, :W l. , f f QQ'-Agri, 0. ,fb ,N Q J 5,1 X V ff I. -A p .V vm I , f 4 .
