,J .,. 'u A curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering was established in the school year of 1938-1939. It is interesting to note that of all the metropolitan colleges offering a metallurgi- cal curriculum, Poly has the largest enrollment. The metallurgical laboratories are equipped with machinery for the plastic forming of metals, physical- testing devices, Welding equipment, and specimen polishing apparatus. Metallurgical microscopes are available for specimen examination and the lab has four metallographs, a macro-camera and a Well- equipped darkroom. ' All metallurgy undergraduates are required to write a thesis during their senior year. Although the re- quirements are not as rigorous as those for a master's degree, the Work demands a great deal of resourceful- ness and ability. The subject matter of the thesis may range from a new extractive process for titanium to investigative work on the microstructures of high- temperature aircraft alloys. By the time he has completed his degree require- ments, the metallurgy student is well prepared to leave the Polytechnic and enter -into the Waiting world of metals. ' A'--l P Left to right.

Today. the department boasts twenty-one professors, four adjunct professors, six instructors, thirty-five part-time instructors and fifteen teaching assistants and fellows. During this period, a total of thirty-eight under- graduate and twelve graduate courses were offered, compared with the current fifty-nine and seventy-five, respectively. In addition, equipment value rose from 35171000 to almost S488,000. Student enrollment has also increased: the 1933- 1934 enrollment of 110 day and 483 evening stu- dents with the present 292 day and 552 evening x students. Graduate students at the Masters level have risen from 35 to 79, at the Doctor's level from zero to six, and in the non-degree category, from zero to eighty-six. In 1933-1934, the department was divided into seven groups: Industrial Laboratories, Drawing and Design, .Steam Power, Gas Power, Mechanical Lab- oratory, Materials of Engineering, Industrial Engi- neering. Today, there are six divisions: Metallurgical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Lab- oratories, Drawing and Design, Heat Power, Testing of Materials. Charles T.

Of the many great names which occur in the more than one hundred years history of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, a significant proportion were members of the Department of English. Polytechnic has had a long enduring tradition of English studies. It was Kellogg's Grammar in the late nineteenth century that was accepted all over America as the standard work in basic English. Dean Chandler of the University of Cincinnati was head of the English Department at the beginning of the twentieth century. The names of joseph Wood Krutch, S. Marion Tucker, and George Schuster, now President of Hunter College, figure significantly in the history of the department. For the past twenty years Professor Leo E. A. Saidla has been its head and now Pro- fessor Thomas L. Donahue is head of the department. Polytechnic, because of its history, has always maintained a deep, enduring devotion to humanities. Its graduates have gone forth well trained in communication. The alumni of Polytechnic can be certain now, as ever before, that they face maturity in their pro- fession with basic training in English composition, and in the deep, abiding understanding of those great classics which are the tradition and the heritage of all professional men.
