. at prefcice The use of oil has clone more than any one thing to change our daily living from that of an- tiquity. XVithout oil we would lose the pleasures of our automohiles, the henetits of ma- chinery. lt is a necessity we seldom realize. Of the world supply of thirty lbillion harrels, the United States has an estimated reserve ol seventeen and a half loillion. or 58.3 percent, of which 54.2 percent is in Texas alone. Most of the oil in Texas clears through the port of Houston. with the Gull Coast area one of the most productive in the world. Houston is truly the oil center of the world. Technical developments have accounted in a large part for the growth of the oil industry in our state and nation. These developments originate in the technical and mechanical departments of engineering schools, as well as in chemistry lallo- ratories. ln this worlc the Rice lnstitute has talcen its place, as shown hy the large numher of engineering graduates, employed directly hy oil companies, and many more in suhsidiary trades. Because of its importance to the Rice lnstitute and to Houston, the 1939 Campanile has selected the Oil lndustry in Texas as its theme. XV e have attempted to show the various phases of production, handling, refining, and consumption of oil and the part our Engineer- ing School has played in this fascinating inclustry. Di1'I.5l0l!
