Civil Engineering Department T HE oldest engineering profession, Civil Engineering, is the leading department, with regard to students, on the campus. The curriculum of Civil Engineering is designed to afford a thorough training in fundamental principles upon which the practice of profes- sional Civil Engineerng is founded. It is the aim of the department to prepare the graduates for technical and administrative positions in the promotion, design, construction, operation, and management of engineering projects. JOE B. BUTLER Departmenl Chairman Professor of Civil Engineering, 1920, 1931, B.S. in CT„ 1915; B.S. in Ed . 1924, Oklahoma A. M j C,E„ 1922, M.S. in C,E., 1924, Missouri School of Mines. Carlton Hershkawitz Muir G vecker Eshbaugh Roberts Senne Although the Civil Engineering curricula for the first two years includes subjects common to all curriculum, specialization in vari- ous branches of the profession is provided during the junior and senior years. The seat of learning here at M.S.M. is Harris Hall, which was completed in 1940. This building has in it the Hydraulics, Soil Me- chanics, Bacteriology, and Mate- rials Testing labs as well as class- rooms. Though much work is done in the classroom, this work is supplemented with practical work out of doors. Professor J, B. Butler, who has been with the school since 1920, is chairman of the department. Although his chief interest is in hydraulics, he has supervised map making of county roads throughout Missouri in recent years. Other leaders in the de- partment include Professor Carl- ton, structural engineering, and Professor Gevecker, soil mechan- ics expert. With such fine men it is easy to see why the Civils will remain strong. Page Twenty -One

Hanley Wolf Legsdin Morris Eppelsheimer Straumanls Metallurgical Engineering Department M ETALLURGY is that branch of engineering which employs the art and science of extract- ing the metals from ores and concentrates, refining of these metals, manufacturing of these metals and alloys produced from them, and fabricat- ing both metals and alloys into useful shapes for utilization by mankind. Here at M.S.M. the metal- urgical engineering student receives a thorough training in the theory and practical application to develop sufficient technique to assure usefulness for the graduate in his chosen profession. The metallurgy curriculum provides a complete training in Process Metallurgy and Physical Metal- lurgy. The theory is supplemented with practical work in the required courses. The department has the equipment available to afford the student every opportunity to further his knowledge. Progress in the metallurgical field has been exten- sive during the last decade. Although small in num- bers as compared to other branches of engineering, the demand for graduate metallurgists is constantly exceeding the supply. Page Twenty-Three
