Leading industrialists
in Group

After seven weeks of industrial
exploration through South
America, via Pan-American Air-
ways, Harold Vagtborg, director
of the Armour Research Founda-
tion, returned May 2 to the Arm-
our laboratories. His arrival from
Miami was the last leg of a four
day trip from Rio de Janeiro.

Sponsored by the National Re-
search Council in cooperation with
the Inter-American Development
Commission in Washington, the
tour, which was originally sug—
gested by Secretary of Commerce,
Jesse Jones, covered Columbia,
Peru, Chili, Argentina, Uruguay
and Brazil. The party consisted of
key research, industrial and bank-
ing executives who engaged in
an interchange of ideas with South
American governments and in-
dustrial leaders.

Primarily the trip was sche-
duled to acquaint business lead-
ers and industrialists with recent
North American technological ad-
vances with an aim to expanding
the industrial development of the
four progressive South American
countries by application of Amen
ican industrial methods. This will
be done either under license of
processes and products or by joint
manufacturing and financing soon.

Conferences with industrial
groups were arranged in advance
for the scheduled stop-overs which
included Barranquilla, Bogota,
Cali, Lima, Santiago, Vinadcl Mar,
Bucnos Aircs, Montevideo, Soc
Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro.

Coupled with the interchange
of industrial plans and methods
analysis, an exploration was con-
ducted for sources of raw motor;
ials which may find more exten—
sive markets in this country, es-
pecially in the fields of vegetable
oils, fibers, minerals, pharmaceu—
ticals and South American woods.
In the course of his journey Dr.
Vagtborg was able to interpret the
general feeling prevalent with re-
gard to United States relation-
ships, which, he states, is most
amicable having at its root the
desire for U. S. cooperation in in
dustrial expansion plans. The data
collected by Dr. Vagtborg will be
of considerable value in dealing
with future problems of the Re—
search Foundation and the thous-

Elector tillers fiance
"tours Pottery Mont

l°ottery making, from start to
finish, was explained to the senior
chemicals last Friday when they
visited the plant of the l-lacger
Pottery company, located at Dun
doe, illinols. This company is one
of the largest of its kind in the
world.

The general procedure in the
making; of pottery is rather sim~
pic. A slurry of clay is first poured
into a plaster of paris mold. This
is allowed to stand from thirty to
iii 1y minutes. During this time the
mold has absorbed the moisture
from the slurry, and a layer of
clay has been deposited on the in
side of this mold. When the clay
teaches a certain thickness, the
remainder of the slurry is remov-
ed. The clay that remains within
the mold is allowed to stand for
a short while longer. It is then
when from the mold, and the
edges of the piece are smoothed
down. Following this is the dry-
ing process. "his is done slowly,
in order to prevent cracking.
When thoroughly dried, the pub
tery is given its final glazing, after
which it is ready for the market.

The architecture department’s
Open House exhibition. this year
will be the largest and best it has
ever presented. The exhibition
material will occupy 4000 feet- of‘
floor space in the Lake View
building at .110 South Michigan
avenue, and will be open daily
from May ’7 to May ll.

Due to the lack of explanatory
material in the cast, many specta—
tors were perplexed by various
portions of the exhibit. This con-
dition has been rectified, for mem-
bers of the Scarab Fraternity are
to act as guides. In this capacity,
it will be their duty to answer
questions which might arise in the
minds of the spectators.

'l‘he unorthodox choice of a site
for the exhibit is an outgrowth of
the fact that the architecture de~
pertinent will play host to the
national conference of a collegiate
architecture association during
Junior Week.

The exhibition, as in previous
years, will be arranged to express
the integration of the architecture
courses: a logical structure tying
together the study of drafting,
construction, living requirements,
and the mandates of design. This
organization of the curriculum is
based on the needs of good orchi-
tccture itself and springs from the
definition of architecture as “the
art of building beautifully.” The
aspiring architect is taught to
draw well, then to construct build—
ings with care, then to satisfy the
needs of inhabitants and finally
to use all that he has learned in
designing beautiful structures.

Every student in the depart—
ment has had a hand in the pie
paration of the exhibit. Students
have worked day and night, Satur-
days and Sundays. The work of
all classes is represented in draw-
ings and models.

“Dcscrin” drawings, construc«
tion work, models of schools and
apartments, projects, in senior do
sign; all these will be shown.
