In view of the scientific and technological ad- vances being made in today ' s society, the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering are expanding boundlessly. To keep pace with these advances W.P.I, offers two closely related courses which lead to the degrees of chemistry and chemical engineering. The two fields differ in that chemistry is primarily devoted to research while chemical engineering uses the dis- coveries of the chemist to manufacture consumer goods. The courses common to both departments are, among others; organic chemistry, industrial chemical calculations, and physical chemistry. Salisbury and Kinicutt laboratories, which house the departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineer- ing, are finally beginning to take on the appearance of a modern building. With the completion of the second floor, the end, which is the renovation of the entire building, is now in sight. Through the efforts of Prof. Wilmer Kranich, head of the department, and an especially fine staff, the de- partments have been able to further the status of the courses at Worcester Tech, until they are now con- sidered among the finest in the country. The depart- mental faculty, consisting of many brilliant and dedicated men, have sacrificed the opportunities pre- sented by industry in order that they might develop the latent abilities of their students. To supplement the students ' formal education, the departments have also made available membership in professional socie- ties through which the student may gain specific knowledge about the field into which he is entering. 18 Professor Wilmer L.

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering this year boasts 10 Chemistry Gradu- ate Students and 13 Chemical Engineering Gradu- ate Students. Of the 23 graduate students 5 are seeking their Doctorate Degree, while the others are working toward their Masters Degree. As many as 17 of the graduate students have pre- viously received their B.S. Degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Many of the undergraduate laboratory periods are conducted by the 10 gradu- ate students who are also graduate assistants. The projects of the graduate students are both involved and diversified. A study of the mechanism of ester compounds by a chemist as contrasted to a survey of the inefficiences of internal combusion engines serves to illustrate this diversification. A study of fuel cell activity, a new synthesis of the Girard Reagent, a study in synthetic fatty alda- hydes, development of synthetic penicillins, auto- matic bulk titration, and cromatographic separa- tions are among the many graduate student en- deavors. The excellent work of these graduate students serves only to enhance the reputation of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Seated: H. Burr, A. Kowalewski, J. Gibbs, N. Howe, D. Bryant. Standing: L. Rossi, B. Cushing, C. Li, R. Smith, J. Swaine, H. Christopher. GRADUATE STUDENTS B J0i : Is SsSBfe 1 f 1 J pi JS f flslJTaiii L 1 J m tl l l ' ' ■ iw ■pij i je BIS ffefi St f Y W Eur 1
