rmu' TW THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNSDAYDEC. 10, A94 EXPANDS TO LEADING POSITION Engine School Backs War With All Facilities By MILT FREUDENHEIM President Teddy Roosevelt was bringing another eastern war to a close in 1905 when the University completed the West Engineering Building as a home for one of the nation's leading colleges of engineer- ing. Provided for by the Act of the Legislature which founded the Uni- versity in 1837, Michigan's College of Engineering really came into exis- tence twenty years later when De- Volson Wood was made Assistant Professor of Engineering by Presi- dent Henry P. Tappan in 1857. From its original position as the first state-supported college of its kind In the country, it has expand- ed until today, Michigan ranks fourth nationally in the number of expanded gradually until, in 1895, bachelors' degrees granted annual- the College of Engineering was cre- ly and second in masters' degrees ated with Prof. Charles E.

M. Kuethe heads the Aeronautical Engineering Depart- ment which is typical of the Col- lege in the preeminency of its work relating to the war. Since Pearl Harbor, the Department has com- plcted 15 war research projects for individuals and government agen- cies dealing with aero-dynamics, structural research, and design. Since its organization in 1890, the Chemical ° and Metallurgical Engi- neering Department now under Prof. G. G. Brown, has worked on "process engineering" research, studying the design, construction, and operation of plants which change the chemical of physical properties of a material. In 1921, Dean Cooley created the Department of Metal Processing with Prof. O. W. Boston as chairman. Unique as a college department, Metal Processing deals with coordi- nation of design and metallurgy in production. One of the two principal marine laboratories in the nation, the Naval Tank in the Department of Marine Engineering under Lt.-Comm. L. A. Blair, USNR, is being used at full capacity.

It is now being used for teaching purposes in the depart- ment as well as for research by students and faculty for outside plants, designers, shipyards, the Navy Department, the Army Transportation Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Maritime Commis- sion. Studies range from aircraft rescue boats all the way to river barges. A forecast of the type of research which will be increasingly frequent as peace approaches was provided by a recently-concluded project in Prof. R. S. Hawley's Department of Me- chanical Engineering. One of the seven largest manufacturers of a household electrical appliance spon- sored a cest of its product in com- parison with those of its competitors. Results showed the sponsor's product inferior, and the University has been provided with funds to develop a better one for post-war production. Use of photography in surveying from the air, and tests of light structure steel in the wind tunnel are two recent projects of the Department of Civil Engineering, under Prof. L. M. Gram. One million dollars were spent by industry and government agencies for work in the Department of Engi- neering Research, headed by Prof. A. E. White during the past year. The Department coordinates re- search of all the phases of engineer- ing. Ten thousand students were trained throughout the state, and 1,800 on campus by the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training Pro- gram, under R. H. Sherlock, which meets deficiencies in engineers, chemists, and physicists in essential industries. Patton, Hodges Honored WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.- ()-- Lieutenant-Generals George S. Pat- ton and Courtney H. Hodges, com- manders of the Third and First American Armies, respectively, have been awarded Oak Leaf clusters for their distinguished service medals.

A FOLLETT'S YOU CAN ORDER Shift of Labor . out of Vicinity Not increasi n "We have not noticed any appre- ciable increase in movement from Washtenaw County jobs on the part of factory workers," Lawrence Ham- berg said yesterday commenting on reports of 'mass worker migration from state industrial areas to upper Michigan counties. He explained that there has beeen a slow flow of workers back to their homes either in the South or in up- state counties, from this area. Reports from Detroit to the Daily have stated that there is a definite "back-home movement" now caus- ing labor shortages in many of the state's leading industries. Returning families were quoted as leaving industrial areas, especially Detroit, because of dislike for "city life, high costs of living," and a de- sire to enjoy outdoor life a BONDS I i , f , Today!
