4:9 l-4'7 rf, Q ffilff I, EE Costs Handicap School of Chemistry For the War effort, the school of chemical technology is doing its bit by traini chemists. There is no letdown in standards. All of the students who have taken the chelnistry of powder and explosives are now serving their country in some field ng competent the course in of chemistry. The only handicap under which the school now operates is the inequality between the present costs and a fixed appropriation in a war emergency.

Dean L. L. Carrick Dr. L. L. Carrick came to the North Dakota Agri- cultural College at the beginning of the winter quarter of 1920 as an Assistant Professor of Inorganic and Qualitative Chemistry. In 1926 he was advanced to the status of Acting Dean and became Dean in 1928, He has a background of high school, and academic teaching coupled with several years of industrial chemical research. He has written many scientific articles in the field of protective coatings. Chemistry The high scholastic rating and the rigid entrance requirements discourage many stu- dents frorn entering the school of chemical technology, but those who choose this field find they are well rewarded on graduation, for more than 85 percent of the 276 grad- uates from the courses in paint chemistry, in which the department specializes, are now employed in their chosen field of paint, varnish and lacquer technology. Dean Carrick is proud of his school, the only one to offer advanced degrees in the field of paints. He says that graduates who are successful in obtaining a master's degree in paints have a reasonable expectation of earning at least S350 to 85500 monthly eight years after leaving school. The school was founded in 1906 by Dr. E. F. Ladd who later became president of NDAC. Dr. L. L. Carrick took over as dean in 1926, succeeding Dr. W. T. Pearce. In addition to his own students, Dr. Car- rick and his department each year give some chemistry training to over 900 students from other campus schools. George Rulon and Rollie John- son display an impressive array of glassware. Chemists establish high scholastic standards and like the pharmacists, have many laboratory courses.

Dolve has seen plenty of practical experience in the engineering field. Before coming here he was an engineer with the U. S. Geo- logical Survey in North Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota, an engineer on the drainage reclamation of the Red Lake Reservation in Minnesota and a d l eve opment engineer with the Bell Industrial Locomotive Works in Bound Brook, New Jersey. In a war of machines the stu- dent in Engineering is an all important cog. His is the duty of harnessing machines and re- sources for the all-out effort against the axis. 6 Engineering Adding to the burden of the engineering department this year is the United States, War effort. Besides tr of the future who will soon direct the work on Americas long production lines, the now engaged in training non-col- lege students in specialized fields under government supervision. aining the engineers school is At present all graduates of the school are immediately employed in the defense in- dustries. The engineering department is now con- ducting defense training courses in primary and secondary pilot training under the auspices of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
