Meeting Friday Mr. Harold Vagtborg, director of the Armour Research Foundation, will speak to the A.i.Ch.E. next Friday. The meeting will be held in 202M at 10 o’clock. His talk will be on the subject of “Re: search in industry.” The A.I.Ch.E. reports that up proximately fifty per cent of all chemical engineers leaving school go into research.
