While the regular full-time
members of the Illinois Tech stun
dent body amused themselves in
luxurious idleness during the past
eummer, the campus was the
scene of great activity. Professor
John I. Yellott, head of the En-
gineering Defence Program at
lillnols Tech, and his assistants
were up to their necks in work
as they pushed forward their task
of strengthening the nation’s do»
fence through the medium of
training workers for the present
armament program.

The full-lime cummcr defense
training program enrolled 1,071
students at. the beginning. Of
this. number 961 finished the
course. 0:31 of the latter receiving
their certificates of completion.
At least 700 of the trainees are
now employed,

The evening program offered a
four hour per week course for
eight weeks in materials inspec-
tion. About 700 enrolled for this
Study, some 620 of them actually
finishing the work}. This training"
was offered primarily as on up-
grading service with the main
purpose of increasing the knowl-
edge and ability of men already
employed in industry.

The future holds even greater
plans for the EDT program. A
full—time three-month course in
the field of materials inspection
and testing is; soon to be opened
at Lewis. it is hoped that 400
men will eventually benefit from
this opportunity, but the first
group will be limited to 150 spe-
cially Selected applicants. Apti~
tude tests will be given the appli~
came to determine their mechan-
ical and mental ubilities.

Another evening program of
classes is being mapped out at
the present time. It ie scheduled
to start October 20 with a cur»
riculum of 40 separate subjects.
Approximately 3,000 students are
expected to take advantage of this
service, with the obvioue result
that every nook and cranny of the
institute not actually being used
by regular evening school. stu-
dents will be pressed into service
in this vital program.

Gas Foundoiion O'llert
Graduate Research
Degrees

 

A program sponsored by the
leading natural and artificial gas
companies of the United States, is
about to bear fruit in the form 01’
an educational foundation for
graduates leading to the degree of
master of science and doctor of
philosophy. New courses will be
offered as a separate unit of Illi-
noie Tech.

Our institution was selected as
a result of an extensive survey
conducted among the leading col-
leges and univernlties in the
United States. The location of 1111-
nois Tech and the composition of
its; staff and administrative oflicco
were deemed moot likely to fit into
the requirementu of on intensive
study of gas technology.

Million lilollnru to he llponlz

The new “Gan luciitute” will in
volve an expenditure of more than
$1,000,000 during the next ten
years, exclusive of additions to
plant and equipment.

According to Preeideut H. 'l‘.
l-Ieald, there will also be con'
ducted and encouraged under this
graduate program, fundamental
and applied reoearch pointed to"
words the betterment of the fu-
ture of the gun induetry.

Actual operation begins this
September. From five to ten fel-
lowships will be granted etudente
for the first. year. The program,
however, when in complete op~
oration, contemplates a student
body of from fifty to sixty gradu~
ate students with a well-qualified
faculty chosen for its competence
in research and graduate instruc-
tlon.

Plans: for the “Gas Institute” in

house its activities. These build"

structures planned by Illinois
Tech under its current expaneion
program.

Six principal objectives have
been laid down to form the heels

the new institute expect it to be
Operated to “train qualified young
