COLLEGE OE ENGINEERI G AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS Cbniwnmz-Professor Lee Arnold. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and, with the passing of time, I graduated with honors in mathematics from Duke University in 1937. At Duke, I played on the varsity football team and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in my junior year. After Duke, I studied under a fellowship at the Guggen- heim School of Aeronautics at Cal Tech, where I served as an assistant to Dr. Theodore von Karman. Seven years later I took my Ph.D. from Columbia. One of my hrst jobs was with the Glenn L. Martin Com- pany, where I was in charge of the dynamics group and helped establish one of the first aeroelasticity groups in the U. S. In the early 194O's, I formed and headed Republic Air- craft, an aeroelasticity concern. In the '50's, I became president of Lee Arnold Associates, Inc,, consultants to various govern- ment agencies, where I developed, along with Dr. von Karman, the application of Thwaite's airfoil to ship stabilization. From 1945-53, I was a partner in the Biot and Arnold firm, in which we acted as consultants in applied mathematics and physics. During this period we were consultants also to the air force, the navy, the Army Ordinance Ballistic Research Laboratory, Edo Aircraft, and Hamilton Standard. I have also been a consultant to the Advisory Group for Aeronautical Research of NATO. Under the sponsorship of AGARD, I have lectured at the Sorbonne, the University of Rome, the University of Athens, the University of Brussels, the University of Delft, and the Swedish Aeronautical Laboratory in Stockholm.

SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY Cl7dj1'l11d711ASSOCl8tC Professor Eliot L. Freidson. I was born in Boston and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts. I attended the University of Maine and the College of the Uni- versity of Chicago, entering the Army in 1943, and served as an enlisted man in the 88th Infantry Division in Italy. Re- turning to the United States in 1946, I re-entered the College of the University of Chicago, obtaining the Ph. B. degree in 1947. Entering the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago, I obtained the M, A. degree in 1950 and the Ph. D. in 1952. I served as a teaching assistant in the De- partment of Sociology at Chicago in 1950-1951, research as- sistant in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in 1951-1952, and Ford Postdoctoral Research Fel- low in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois during 1952-1954. In 1954-1955, I did a study of student leaders and student government for the United States National Student Association, and in 1955-1956, as a Russell Sage Foundation Fellow, a study of an experimental patient care program at Montefiore Hospital, New York. In 1956, I was appointed Assistant Professor of Sociology at the City College of New York, joined NYU as associate professor in 1961, and became Chairman of the Department at University Heights in 1962. I am the author of a number of books and articles, the most recent concerned with the sociology of medi- cine. I live in Leonia, N. J., with my wife and two children. Proferror-Robert Bierstedt.

As an undergraduate at Tufts College, I was greatly en- couraged by one of my professors to enter the field of speech, After graduate study and teaching at the University of Michi- gan and at Grinnell College, I came to the Heights as an instructor in 1940. Things were a lot different here in those days. There was no major offered in Drama, and we didn't have our modern playhouse until the opening of the Student Center in the '50's. On St, Patrick's Day in 1942, I had the dubious distinction of being the hrst faculty member drafted during World War II. It wasn't so bad, thoughg I went through the war playing golf in Puerto Rico. After being released from the army, I married my wife, who was secretary to the editor of Harpefr Bazmzr. We live in Greenwich Village and have a home in Massachusetts, where I grow pine needles in place of grass and flowers. Presently, in addition to administrative and counselling work, I teach courses in discussion and conference, public speaking, and parliamentary procedure. During my years here, I have also been faculty adviser to the Heiglalr Daily Newr and the Debate Council. Speaking as a teacher of speech, I would say that New Yorkese is not as rampant now as it was when I first arrived here. There are, of course, exceptions, but for the most part our students, living in a university atmosphere, are well-spoken individuals. The primary aim of our department is to train students in the purposive use of speech as a tool for achieving effective human relations. Proferror-Ormond Drake Con leaveb.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Cbzzimzzzzz-Professor john Happel, I received the B.S. Degree in 1929 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the M.S, Degree in Chemical Engineering Practice from the same institution in 1930. I received the degree Doctor of Chemical Engineering from Brooklyn Poltechnic Institute in 1948. I have organized and given graduate courses there and also special lectures in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware. One year after joining the faculty of New York University in 1948, I became Chairman of the Chemical Engineering De- partment, the position which I now hold. I began my professional career with the Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. in 1930 and remained with this organization, serving in various techni- cal capacities, until 1948. During the war. I was a member of the Petroleum Industry War Council and of a technical committee which was charged with the responsibility for design and initial operation of the world's largest butadiene from petroleum plant. After the war. I returned to Socony-Vacuum Oil Co, fnow Socony Mobilj and was engaged in various petro-chemical projects until I joined New York University. At the University. I have continued to do research in the field of synthetic organic chemicals, especially the produc- tion of low molecular weight hydrocarbons fsuch as ethylene. methyl acetylene and butadienej and their utilization. I have also been active in the investigation of the hydrodynamics of particulate systems and chemical process economics. The author of numerous technical papers and Chemical Prorerr Erouomirr. Wiley, 1958, I am also credited with a score of patents on petroleum and petrochemical subjects. I am a member of the American Chemical Society fHonor Scroll of I. 8: E.
