wv:n',.f. -- -,-. -- AF' , . 't I. K 0 ln honoring Tulsa University's College of Petroleum Engineering, we are paying tribute to the men who made this institution. Among these men, there are those who gave it much needed financial support. There are those who believed in it and worked for its develop- ment. And there are those who are the College of Engineering-the Dean and his Faculty. I Characteristic of Dean Langenheim is his sincere appreciation of the loyal and gener- ous support that his faculty has given him in his endeavor to build the best petroleum en- gineering college in the country. But no matter how excellent the faculty might have been, it could not have alone built the Engineering College into what it is today without the inspired administrative leadership of Ralph Louis Langenheim. O ln 1930 Dean Langenheim came to the University of Tulsa as Dean of the College of Petroleum Engineering. He reorganized the school and established a modified cooperative plan of education for the engineering students whereby they might attend school regularly for two years and then go on the cooperative plan for the remaining two years. From March, 1934, to luly, 1935, Dean Langenheim was acting president after president lohn D. Finlayson resigned. With the election of President Pontius, Dean Langenheim became vice-president and academic administrative officer of the university. Since that time the ma- jority of his time has been spent in the development and expansion of the college of en- gineering. ' 0 Dean Langenheim entered the University of Cincinnati in 1912 after having completed the elementary and secondary school courses in the Cincinnati public schools. He dis- tinguished himself not only in academic, but also in athletic activities as a member of the baseball and football teams. He was graduated in 1917, with a C.E. degree, and within a month entered the United States Army Engineering Corps. He served 13 months overseas as an engineer. He left the army in 1919 when he was discharged and was for two years a member of the Rapid Transit Commission of the city of Cincinnati before he returned to the University of Cincinnati. As a member of the engineering faculty from 1921 through 1927 he was first an instructor in civil engineering, later an assistant and associate professor of coordination. N 0 From 1928 until he came to the University of Tulsa in 1930, Dean Langenheim was edu- cational director for the Lithographic Technical Foundation of New York City, where he established cooperative training courses throughout the United States. 0 Dean Langenheirn was born on April 21, 1894. He married Miss Myrtle Helmers of Cincinnati, They have two sons, Ralph L., lr., and Richard Henry. O He is a member of the City Planning Commission, City Charter Revision Committee Tulsa County Council Boy Scouts of America, Chairman of the Organizations committee of the Boy Scouts, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club O A few pertinent personal passages about the Dean . . . he enjoys golfing, fishing, tennis and large cigars which he can chew or smoke as the occasion demands . . . likes to watch baseball and football games . . . reads travel books . . . his pet peeve is the noisy library . . . he dislikes spinach and broccoli, but relishes oysters in the following sequence . . . raw oysters to start with followed with oyster stew later replaced by some scalloped oysters which in turn yield to nice crisp fried oysters . . . favors the cooperative method of engin eering education because he believes it develops more top-notch engineers . . . he is proud of his engineering faculty and always stands firmly behind them in their work . . . plans to limit the incoming freshmen to 125 by means of placement examinations . . . his plans for the future are merely for consolidation and improvement of the courses already offered to make the College of Petroleum Engineering of the University of Tulsa the finest in the United States .... , . n it ' ..., lffsgtiiifi , -an . . ,I .. 1 MN- - - A----A -A -.x-.Y.-.......4.g4...tL...,
