,. il 1 i r l in wi 'ss l -A 5 1 v ni 'V --c r 5 Schools of Engineering i It was a fortunate event for Purdue when ' on September 1, 1920, Dean A. A. Potter ac- ' cepted the position as Dean of the Schools of l Engineering, Director of the Engineering Experi- ', ment Station, and Professor of Power Engineer- ing. After serving a year in these capacities r the title, Director of Engineering Extension, was , also conferred upon him. His duties include the responsibility for the teaching, research, and extension activities in V engineering. The heads of the four engineering y schools, that is, of the Schools of Chemical, 1 Civil, Electrical, and Nlechanical Engineering, as well as the heads of the departments of Applied , lvlechanics, Practical hlechanics, Engineering Extension, and Personnel, report to him. It is his duty to see that the engineering schools carry F on their teaching, research, and extension activ- ll ities most effectively. All recommendations to fr the President and Trustees of the University 'QQ' DEAN A'A, POTTER concerning appointments, promotions of staff H2 members, contracts with University, changes of ,CE curricula, and all matters affecting the policies of the engineering schools and departments are ll. made through him. 1' In addition to his administrative work as dean and director, he has been giving instruction in certain graduate courses, particularly in advanced power engineering and engineering education, f, has given a certain number of lectures every year to Freshmen and Senior engineering students along general subjects, and has taken all classes in thermodynamics for review and general lectures ,, at least once a semester. Q During the twelve years of his connection with Purdue University, he has written and pre- 6 sented for publication more than one hundred papers, articles, and addresses. He has also carried i, on certain investigational work in power engineering with particular reference to high pressure ,,, and high temperature steam. lf' He has been interested in personnel work since IQO5, having developed a personnel system for engineering students while he was dean at Kansas State College KIQI3-IQZOD, and originated f the Purdue Personnel System. Q He has also been interested in developing a type of extension work which would supplement ,3 and accompany the teaching and research activities, but would not at the same time duplicate 1 the efforts of other agencies. The conferences and special instruction under the head of Engineering Extension are the results of these efforts. E Dean Potter received his B.S. in Engineering from Rl. l. T. in 1903, and a Dr. of Engineering ,, from Kansas State Agricultural College in I925. He was with the General Electric Company of , Schenectady, New York, 1903-19053 Assistant Professor of hlechanical Engineering 1905-1910, li Professor I910-1920, Dean of Division of Engineering and Director of Engineering Experiment fl Station CIQI3-IQZOJ at Kansas State Agricultural College. He has since then been at Purdue. 5 Besides his duties at Purdue University during the last ten years, he has acted in an advisory fl capacity to a variety of industries, utilities, and the U. S. Government, and has also been advisory editor for a publisher of engineering textbooks. ll Q! I, 10 . f Ps 2-,,. X- if-ff Gig ag, 1-rw 7.1 .1 .-1-.,.,., V' ml f-. 411 f. l 'rf' l' T W? f Y 'il '.
