A study of the air flow characteristics of an aircraft cowl. s Purdue Gets Its Wings 1 N. Purdue has long been known for its develop- ments in the field of transportation, and in aero- nautics it is not to be slighted. Aeronautics has become one of the most important factors affecting the social, economic, and political well-being of the world. In order to provide the preparation desirable for one who intends to enter the field of aviation business, Purdue offers majors in air transportation and in aeronautical engineering. Both of these options are under the guidance of a tall, lanky newcomer here at Purdue. His name is Dr. Milton U. Clauser, a graduate of the California Institute of Technology With a BS in theoretical physics, an MS in mechanical engi- neering, and a PhD, 11Iagna Cum Laude, received in 1937. His office is located in the School of Aeronautics Building at the Purdue Airport. The airport itself, first recognized as an emergency landing field in 1933, resulted from a gift of a tract of land in 1930 by David E. Ross. ltlr. Ross suggested that this land, and the adjoining farnilands. be used as the site for the present airport. Ur. M. C. Cli11lSC1'. head of the School of iXL'l'0l1Zllli1L'S. 23 , .A Vg

ff! I N . A CE learns about concrete foundations by inspection. The great structures of the world of tomorrow are being created in the minds of the students of today. The engineers for these super highways, bridges, and buildings are being thoroughly trained in the highly technical curriculum in the School of Civil Engineer- ing and Engineering ltlechanics. Purdue has estab- lished one of the largest and best qualified schools of this kind. Not only theoretical but also practical training is offered in the three principal options: general, sanitation, and construction. Supplement- ing the curriculum are instructional laboratories, ma- terial testing laboratories, and practice in soil me- chanics. Professor R. N. Shreve. head of the Chem and Met School. Outstanding in the field of structural engineer- ing is Professor R. B. Wliley, dean of the School of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. lvith Professor Yviley advocating the coordina- tion of 1'ESE'3.1'Cll with course instruction, better equipped engineers are being turned out every semester. Under Professor YVilev's direction the CE and EM school will soon niove into a new building. CE's and i'EM's Learn About s Structures Professor R. B. YViley, head of the CE and EM school.
