,L OW we begin the story of Ioe the Miner. Here we iind Ioe beginning another semester at M.S.M., prepared to meet any problem which may confront him. He bears with him some of the tools of his profession which his professors are prepared to teach him to use. These tools, coupled with the knowledge of the professors, will prepare Ioe so that on the day of his com- mencement he will be able to step out into the world and add to the heritage of those engi- neers who have preceded him. ogclminiotrcction

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT MIDDLEBUSI-I At the end of the l950-'5l academic year, the School of Mines and Metallurgy will have completed S0 years of service in the field of higher education. ln that time over 6000 diplo- mas will have been issued of which over 5400 were Bachelor degrees. The records of the graduates of the School of Mines and Metal- lurgy have reflected great credit upon the School and include achievements which We all may well endeavor to emulate. Throughout these years the faculty roster of the School has contained the names of men who were leaders in their particular fields. They were good teachers and productive schol- ars. The success of the graduates themselves is in no small part due to the effective teaching of the men who have served the School of Mines as members of the faculty. As President of the University of Missouri, of which the School of Mines and Metallurgy is an important division, I can speak for the Board of Curators and the entire University ad- ministration in saying that we are determined to uphold the high standards of academic train- ing maintained during the past 80 years. We Page Ten Dr. Frederick A. Middlebush President School of Mines and Metallurgy University of Missouri want to continue to encourage the faculty to do effective Work. We want to provide the faculty with the best possible means of teaching and an opportunity for research as time and facili- ties permit. We want to provide environment conducive to study and learning. Such environ- ment Would include buildings, laboratories and equipment, library, and classrooms. We should also have ample provision for necessary extra- curricular activities. With reasonable provision of good teachers and academic facilities, the dedication by the students of their best efforts is a necessary corn- ponent of success. Based upon the records of the graduates over 80 years, I am confident that these best efforts will be forthcoming and that the graduates of the School of Mines and Metallurgy will continue to merit and to enjoy the acclaim of their fellow citizens. l extend to the graduating class of 1951, to Whom this edi- tion of the Rollamo will have an especial sen- timental value, my very best wishes for their success and happiness. FREDERICK A. MIDDLEBUSH, President.
