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.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CbdfI'IlIc1l2TPI'OfCSSO1' Austin Church. I have been the Chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Department since 1946. I came to the Heights in 1940 as an assistant professor of Machine Design. I graduated from Cornell University in 1928 with the degree of M.E. and received an M.S. degree in Physics from New York University in 1934. Upon leaving Cornell, I worked for two years at the South Philadelphia plant of the Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing Co., six years as an instructor of Machine Design and Drawing at the Cooper Union, and three years on special problems involving centrifugal com- pressors, gears, turbines, and pumps at the De Laval Steam Turbine Co. in Trenton. I left this last position to come to the Heights. During the academic year 1957-8, I was on a leave of absence from New York University to work in the General Engineering Laboratory of the General Electric Co. in Schenectady on vibration problems. I am the author of several books, including Cezzzrifugal Pumpr and Blozverr in 1944, revised Guillet's Kizzenzaficr of Mazrbiner. fifth edition, in 1950. and Merlmzziml Vibmzionr in 1957. A second edition of this last effort will appear this year. In addition, I am the author or co-author of a number of technical papers and articles and a member of a number of technical societies. I was born and raised on the edge of the anthracite coal Fields of eastern Pennsylvania, and two of my summer vacations while in college were spent in the mines. My home since 1940 has been in Hastings on the Hudson from which I commute via a car pool. Mrs, Church and I have two married childen with three grandchildren plus a 17-year-old spinster daughter. When I can find a tolerant partner, who is not too adept, I like to play tennis. P1'0fe.rr0rr-Reno C. King, Fred Landis, Lewis O. John- son, Emanuel A. Salma, Bernard W. Shaffer, Ferdinand L. Singer.

METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE ClJfIfl'717d7Z-PIOLCSSOI' john P. Nielsen. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended various schools, culminating my academic work at Yale, where I received my Ph.D. in Metallurgy in 1947. I began my pro- fessional work at McGean Chemical Company in Cleveland, and was associate physicist at Philips Laboratories in Irvington, New York, and research metallurgist at 'International Nickel Company, I organized the Department of Metallurgy at NYU in 1954 which recently became the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Sciences. At NYU, I also organized the Summer Conferences in metallurgical and materials science subjects which has thus far given 14 conferences, the NYU Metallurgical Alumni Association, one of the very active NYU alumni groups that meet annually at metallurgical con- ventions, and currently a Service to Industry program for my department. My principal organizational product is the development of a research group in Metallurgy and Materials Sciences, employing a total staff of forty. I have been active in various committees and held olices of professional societies. I have been president of the Metal Science Club of New York, chairman of the New York Chapter of the American Society for Metals, and president of the Physical Metallurgy Group of the American Institute for Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. My professional work has taken me to many countries, visiting the Soviet Union several times. I am a member of Pi Tau Sigma, Alpha Sigma Mu, Phi Lambda Upsilon, Sigma Xi, and Tau Beta Pi. For relaxation, I enjoy urban living, my residence being in Sniffen Court in New York City. I have a scholar's interest in the New Yorker magazine, of which I have assembled a complete set and have almost completed a second set. I keep physically Ht with a weekly workout at the Yale Club gym. Arrorizzie Proferrorr-Irving Cacloff, Kurt L. Komarek, Harold Margolin. Arrirfmzt Profermf'-Edward Miller.
