The Met Department, as it is often called, was one of the first de- partments on campus. Originally, the department's curriculum was primarily centered around the crush- ing and grinding of ores and extrac- tion of metals, emphasizing practi- cal applications. Today, however, the scope of the curriculum offered covers every aspect of metallurgical engineering from the original ex- tractivemetallurgy, to physical met- allurgy, foundry metallurgy and even a nuclear option in metallurgy.

The completion of these programs does not bring the research here at Missouri School of Mines to an end, as the advancement of sci- ence never ceases. New projects are being carried out now and even newer, more radical programs will be started in the future. The Metal- lurgy Department is progressive in man's never ending thirst for knowl- edge. ti Q1 il AQ S., -... . Dr. Morris taking notes Epplesheimer, Frad
