,JS ln keeping with the expansion pro- gram being carried out by all de- partments, the Mechanical Engineer- ing Department has a large and extensive development program un- der way at the present time which will greatly alleviate the inadequate and crowded conditions now prevail- ing in Mechanical Hall. To remedy this condition, a new building is being erected which shall house the mechanical engineering laboratories exclusively. This build- ing is to be located south of Mechan- ical Hall, taking the place of the old power plant, which has been torn down. The groundwork for this build- ing has been completed and con- struction startecl. Tentative plans call for the completion of this Me- chanical Engineering laboratory by the start of the fall semester, l95O. The cost when completed shall be tive hundred thousand dollars. This new Mechanical Engineering laboratory is being constructed by the McCarthy Brothers Construction Company of St. Louis, Missouri. The two-story building, when completed, shall measure one hundred and Mechanical En ineerin Department AARON JEFFERSON MILES Department Chairman Professor of Mechanical Engineering, 1930, 1943.

The Student Associate Chapter of the Ameri- can Institute of Mining and Metallurgical En- gineers was established on the campus over thirty years ago with the purpose in mind that students of the mining and metallurgy depart- ments might better discuss the problems cur- rently confronting their industries. At the monthly meetings prominent members of the mining and metallurgical professions present the latest developments in their fields and at- tempt to answer some of the countless questions which are of interest to the members ot the organization.

forty-five feet in length by one hundred and six feet in depth. lts design is such that it shall be suitably adapted for all the Mechanical Engineering laboratory courses. The ground floor shall con- sist of the general Mechanical Engineering lab- oratory section with the entire southern end of the ground floor to be used as the machine shop. Adjacent to the machine shop and along the east side of the building shall be the tool room. Along the entire southern portion of the second floor there shall be a welding shop. Along the north, east, and west walls of the second floor there shall be a mezzanine, the space being utilized as rooms tor conducting research Work. When this building is finished and com- pletely furnished with new equipment, there is every hope that the Mechanical Engineering Department shall become a recognized depart- ment of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. Dr. A. I. Miles, chairman of the department since 1943, and other outstanding members of the Mechanical Engineering Department have zealously strived to attain this recognition. Mechanical Hall.
