eaacevecaera's = P ve o - DIVISION OF TEXTILES AND CLOTHING EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION for a career in the textile and its allied industries, apart from a gen- eral education and the personal attributes of ini- tiative and character, requires an appreciation and understanding of the principles of style, de- sign and color and a basic knowledge of the peculiarities of the raw materials, both natural and synthetic, from which textile products are made. The first concern is with tastes and needs, the second with the chemical and physical char- acteristics of the raw materials. Today this oldest of our industries is regarded as one of our newest. Tremendously research- minded it is rapidly changing from a craft to a science. It has introduced many new man-made fibers with many more now in the test tube or pilot plant. Founded on a basic human need the industry is now more sensitive to the ever-chang- ing requirements of today and tomorrow. To the worker of the future it will mean less drudgery in repetitive jobs; to the designer, engi- neer and chemist, with imagination and creative ability, it presents a challenging opportunity. Preparation for a successful career in this new industry therefore includes basic study in the broad fields of art, science, engineering, manage- 18 ment and manufacturing techniques. The Textile Division of Rhode Island School of Design is unique in its educational objectives offering major courses in Apparel Design, Tex- tile Design, Textile Chemistry and Textile Engi- neering, using the facilities of the entire institu- tion as a whole. All four programs of study com- bine the basic fundamentals of a general educa- tion, designed to stimulate reasoning, with the professional training needed to equip young men and women for their chosen field. The division is extensively equipped with mod- ern machinery of commercial proportions mak- ing possible the actual design and construction of yarns, fabrics and apparel from raw material to finished product. In addition its laboratories are equipped for scientific research and testing— microscopic, physical and chemical—and for ex- perimentation in coloring, printing and finishing. When the graduate enters into the business or professional world with a broad appreciation of all the arts, he will bring to his chosen field a trained mind and hand and a background which has prepared him to make a contribution to the community at large as well as to his profession. WILLIAM D. FALES Chairman, Division of Textiles and Coloring
