1931 THE FABRICATOR CHEMISTRY, DYEING, and FINISHING DEPARTMENT THIS department, under the efficient management of its head, Mr. Busby, ably assisted by Messrs. Brooks, Weymouth, and Broadfoot, has become one of the most popular in the school. The department contains two fine, modern laboratories, thoroughly equipped for dyeing and general chemistry work, also containing a weighing room, a lecture room and a print room. In the basement of the new building are various types of converting and finishing machines by means of which a complete practical course in finishing fabrics is obtained. Here it is that the ' Tech ' student discovers for himself the intricacies of Organic Chemistry, delves into the inaccuracies of Quantitative and explores throughout the complicated and amazing system of Qualitative Analysis. Modern methods of standard dyeing operations, as well as the use of several of the older ways of applying dyestuffs, are included in the complete courses offered by this modern department. The graduate student, turned out into the business world by this de- partment is thoroughly equipped with chemical knowledge and applied theory as well as practical ability. (15)
