A Woman Breaks Two Records in Engineering School
She liked chemistry, so she will become the first woman to graduate from the chemical engineering department of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
This will be the story of Doris Chapman, who in 1942 looked over the catalog of classes and decided upon chemical engineering -because so many chemistry, physics, and mathematics courses were offered that she liked.
"Besides, I just couldn't see taking all those required courses in the College—they looked so dull," Miss Chapman said.
Records in the registrar's office show that no woman has been graduated from chemical engineering. That means Miss Chapman, who recently broke one record, in being the first woman to receive recognition from Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, will break another when she finishes the semester next month. She has a grade point average of 2.51.
Doris' home is in Scotia, N.Y., and she picked Mt. Oread because her father, Charles H. Chapman, '11, graduated from the University as an electrical engineer. It was just understood she'd go to Kansas.

The exhibit also will include three scholl paintings of the Chien Lung period, 1736 to 1795. These represent a succession of scenes and show the artist's patience and skill, Mrs. Warner explained.
The fifth and sixth months once were known as Quintilis and Sextillis.
Cameo and camphor glass bottles and vases, some with intricate scenes painted on the inside, will be shown. These bottles are used as decorations in the Chinese home, or for holding snuff or scent, Mrs. Mary Margaret Warner, museum curator, said.
