College Of Mines OTPORTlTNITIElS in llic fields ul ' luiiiiiio-, nietallurji ' .v. and cerauiies in the Paeiiic Nortlnxe.st and the North are so varied that a broad I raining is needed to fit one to take advantage of them. The conrses d ilic College of Mines have been adjnstod from time to time for the purjiose of athijiting them to the special needs of this territory. The headings or cnrriciila under which the conrses are gronped are: Mining Engineering, (Jeologv and iMining. Metallnrgy. Coal Alining, Electrometallurgy, Ceramics. The field of metal mining naturally attracts the mcst attention in the Northwest and, because of this fact, the majority of students in the College elect the courses which deal with the mining, metallnrgical, and geological phases of the industry. Coalmining engineering has not attracted many students, but it is expected that the growing importance of this industry in Alaska. P.ritish Cohnnbia. asliiiigt on, and Oregon will open out a larger field for the technically trained man. Ceramic engineer- ing, the engineering of the clay and cement industries, is a comparatively recent aihlition to the work of the University and one which is ex])ected to draw attention to develoitment possibilities of clay resources of the Coast. The future e.vpansion of the mining industry into the Orient and South America as soui-ces of raw material for the basic industries of the world, is attracting the keen attention of loresighted leaders everywhere. The strategic ' location of the College of .Mines gives it a jiosition of mnch omise in ])lacing its graduates in the jiionecr woik of o]iening the future mineral resources of the undevelojied countries which border the I ' acific.

Ill u ff Joel Johanson iWi KK m » f f Ox the af(tM-ii( (in of December 13tli. um- I ' l-ofessor, Joel Johan.sou, was killed. It was a fleatli that oi ' lVred no halm — it was a tragedy that left us iiiicompreheudiug-, iiiibelievinii ' . We questioned mutely, uni-esionedly. [Months liave come helween. As we ] ass his door down the English Hall; as we stand at his office window and watch the dying colors warm the Olympics — Olympics he used to love; as Ave read tlie lines we read with him. our hearts still bleed. But we have found consolafion. There is nothing that can rob us of the hope that he inspired, the sensitiveness to beauty that he awakened, the quiet gentleness of liis personality. Xothing can ])lunge us into religious despair, for he comforted us when we were Freshmen: he made us feel that if we lived our lives to the nol)lest that was in us - e need not fear the afterwards. His gentle smile will he locked always in our memory. Xothing can shake our faith in humanity, for we lia e known him. We have his memorv. But of the Freshmen to come . We cannot know why thev should be denied him. Page 26
