Brewster Tells Of Kansas Opportunity

"The industrial resources of Kansas have not yet begun to be tapped, and opportunities for exploitation of the resources are many." said Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, in a talk before the Kansas student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday.
Citing actual cases as examples. Dr. Brewster told of several instances where a graduate with ambition could start production in Kansas, and compete with products that are produced in other states and shipped into Kansas. Dr. Brewster emphasized that anyone starting out should expect only rather humble beginnings, rather than a full scale production and a ready market from the first.
Following the talk the regular meeting of the group was held, in which it was announced that the A.ICh.E. was endeavoring to get information from nearby companies regarding summer employment for undergraduate students.
A turnout of eighty chemical engineers made the meeting one of the largest in recent years.
