New Department in Engine School Is Added This Fall
Much Emphasis is Placed On Petroleum Industry By Head of Mining Department
Petroleum Technology, a new department of the School of Engineering for the preparation of mechanical and mining engineers for work in the oil fields, has been opened this fall. This is one of the latest developments of the oil industry according to research done at the departments of mining engineering: "The petroleum industry, like the coal industry, has grown up like Topsy, except that the growth of the former has been much more rapid than that of the latter. It is with the object in view of applying scientific methods to the development of petroleum, the pinking and pumping of petroleum, that this course has been designed," said Professor Young.
While planning the course, Professor Young and P. F. Dean, keeper of the School of Engineering, made a study of similar departments which have recently been added at the University of Pittsburgh, at Leland Stanford University, and at the University of Oklahoma, where the latter was separated from the other schools and a deam placed at the head of it. Graduates from the department are known as Petroleum Engineers.
Here at the university the course has been made optional for either Mining or Mechanical engineers who will receive their B, S. degrees from one of these two departments. However, since almost as many courses are being offered here as are given in the Petroleum Technology departments of this institute this course may be placed under a separate head and a B, S. degree of Petroleum Engineer be given in a few years.
The new courses in this department being offered this fall are: Oil and Gas Production, taught by Professor Young; Oil Field Engineering, taught by Professor Tait, and Transportation of Oil and Gas, taught by Dean Walker. Oil Refining will be offered in the chemistry department next year, but as there are no seniors in the department at yet, no definite arrangement. The materials and Strength of Materials are prerequisites for Oil Field Engineering and for Transportation of Oil and Gas.
It is the belief of Professor Young that because of the eventual draining of present easily available oil pools, it would be wise to cut down the methods of production.
It is with the view of preparing men who can profitably handle present unprofitable properties. About 142 hours are required for graduation.
Registrar Makes Check
Students Who Made Mistakes
May Change Now
"A recheck is being made," said George O. Foster, instructor, "on all of the non residence pledges. A great number of students signed the pledges at the time of registration, that they lived in the state of Kansas and long checked up and the place of their residence looked up."
In order to get things settled the registrar will be a little lenient, and those students who made mistakes in the place of their residence and wish to register as non-resident, may do so or register the office any time it is week.
There is a clause in the pledge signed that says if mistakes are found in the residence of students who register as being from Kamase, non-residence fee must be paid along with the residence. That the correct residence be given is imperative and all corrections must be made at once.
