ehemiotry epca rtment With the addition of Engineering Biochemistry and three NDEA doctoral Fellows, the graduate doctoral program has been extended in Chemical Engineering. Biochemistry courses are open as electives to students at senior level who are interested. Enrollment in Chemistry has increased rapidly for five years and is at an all-time high. Chemical Engineering requirements have been increased in Engineering Science, Mathematics, Elec- trical Engineering, and use of digital analog computers. Additional space has been provided by providing wall to wall steel grating at four levels above the ground level in the well of the Unit Operations Laboratory, increasing department space for research and instruction. A considerable portion of this space goes to Biochemistry. v-we ., DUDLEY THOM PSON, Department Chairman, Professor of Chemical Engineering, 1956.

The members take advantage of post- meeting refreshments. The MSM chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers was organized in 1f'39 from a small group of chemical engineers known as the Ira Benson Society and has grown steadily larger to a present membership of 140 men. A.I.Ch.E provides opportunities for the pro- fessional development of students majoring in chemical engineering by featuring outstanding professional men and scientists as speakers be- fore the student chapter meetings. Other types of programs such as films, debates, and panel discussions are sometimes featured. By means of these programs the students have an oppor- tunity to meet prominent men from industry and become acquainted with their products, pro- cesses, and plants.
