Emi. l The Metallurgical Engineering School is housed in the same building with the Chemical Engineering School and thus also has excellent facilities. The demands of industry for new alloys with new combinations of prop- erties as well as lor more efficient methods ol recovery in the lace of our diminishing supplies of high-grade ores malces this field an increasingly important one. The mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineers alilce are meeting new conditions ol service and design which demand new materials. This school has been doing its bit as a war research agency. One project is the development of improved coating For steel sheet and of substitutes for flexible metallic connectors. Outstanding accomplishments in the field ol metal- lurgical engineering are being done in all parts of the country. A very prominent metollurgist is T. L. Fritzlen, a graduate of Purdue in 1927. Mr. Fritzlen was Chief Metallurgist of the world's largest aluminum extrusion plant. He resigned this position to become Chief Re- search Metallurgist For both the Reynolds Metal Com- pany and Reynolds Alloys Company. The accompany- ing pictures were talcen at the Reynolds Metals Company. Mr. Fritzlen is author of a paper Aluminum Alloys for Aircraft which was presented in january, 1943 at a meeting of the institute ol the Aeronautical Sciences. He holds a U. S. Patent and a Patent Application, both of which are metallurgical in nature. Top: Mr. T. L. Fritzlen is one of the country's leading research metallurgist. Bottom: This is a chemical laboratory which works with glass chemistry.

. ' Q . all U' lm expioramivnb U' 'W Mlence 0 .. The Chemical Engineering School of Purdue has the largest facil- ities in the country. The Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Building, completed in 1939, embodies many new departments in design. Double hallways permit a wide distribution ol service con- nections. A safety room constructed of armor plate offers an oppor- tunity to carry on hazardous experimentation. With these excellent facilities the School has been able to carry on an extensive war research program. The opportunities along research in chemical changes are almost infinite. Members of the staff are doing research in the prepar- ation ol rare chemical compounds from cheaper raw materials and in the development oi a new process For the manufacture oi high quality gas from the hyclrogeneration of coal. One of the larger laboratories has been talcen over entirely for the analysis ol war gases. The achievements of the alumni of this school have been prominent. Mr. James Slagter, who graduated in 1921, is Vice- President in charge of research and de- velopment ior the Owens-Corning Fiber- glas Corporation and is largely responsible lor the development and economic produc- tion ol Fiberglas. He also has devised improved methods and apparatus for mal4- ing spun and blown glass filaments. Left: This is another of the chemistry laboratories.
