Rosson Named Chairman Of Chemical Engineering
Harold R. Rosson, a specialist in heat transfer and nuclear engineering and associate professor of chemical engineering at KU, has been named chairman of the department of chemical and petroleum engineering, succeeding James O. Maloney, who held the position for 19 years.
Maloney came to KU in 1945 as chairman of chemical engineering. In 1961, the department of petroleum engineering was merged with it. Maloney asked to be relieved of the chairmanship so he could devote full time to teaching and to research interests.
ROSSON, WHO came to KU in 1957, has been associated with the Nuclear Reactor Center since its construction, as well as its teaching and research programs.
Harold Rosson
He earned the B.S. degree in chemical engineering in 1949 and the Ph.D. in 1958, both from Rice University. In between, he worked
with a U.S. Air Force electronics team on a special weapons project, entering the Air Force as a private in 1951 and being released as a first lieutenant in 1954.
For two years he was a nuclear officer, responsible for the surveillance and maintenance of nuclear weapons. He has had summer work experience with the Shell Oil Co. and the Upjohn Co.
DR. JOHN S. McNown, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, commented, "When Prof. Maloney came to this University in 1945, the department of chemical engineering had about five students and three faculty members. Today, under his leadership, the department of chemical and petroleum engineering has become one of our strongest departments, with more than 100 students, 11 faculty members, a curriculum that provides work through the Ph.D. degree in both chemical and petroleum engineering, and a significant research program, some projects in fields unknown in 1945.
The chemical engineering Ph.D program was the first engineering doctorate at any Kansas school.
"The department is launching an experiment in appointing Prof. Rosson for the definite term of five years," Dean McNown continued. "In this new assignment, effective this fall, he will have the opportunity to build on the many strengths already available. The effects of his leadership over the predetermined period can thus be significant without separating him irrevocably from his other scholarly activities."
"After my long period as chairman," said Maloney, "I am looking forward now with pleasant anticipation to the time when a new man will lead the present department. My personal plans are to remain on the hill, to continue to learn and teach, to develop further my interest in university education, and to pursue those of my research projects which have lain fallow in recent years."
Attending daily classes and doing outside work for these classes usually keeps the Midwestern Music and Art Campers busy. But, just look at these extra activities which the camp leaders planned for the campers:
campers had to attend an all-camp meeting down at Murphy Hall. (Everyone was slow in eating that evening, so the meeting had to start 15 minutes late.)
Camp Routine: Work Plus Play
Sunday evening, when the campers still needed to unpack and get situated in their rooms, they had to hurry to dinner at the Union or some other place and then rush back to an all-camp meeting.
Practically the same thing happened Monday night, because the
Hootenannies, dances, and song fests around the piano seemed to be popular Tuesday evening.
Many campers went to the Jayhawk Lanes in the Union for the open house on bowling Wednesday after the evening meal. Again on Thursday, the students had free time to dance and do other activities as they wished. A movie will be shown in Lewis Hall this evening, for the campers. A highlight of the week will be the Get-Acquainted Dance Saturday night.
Sunday also will be a big day for the campers, with church in the morning, orchestra and choir concert in the afternoon, and concert and symphonic band concert in the evening. Then another week will begin with many of the same activities and some new ones for the campers.
Session Held On Hospitals
The Workshop for Hospital Administrators opened yesterday with registration in the lobby of J. R. Pearson Hall, with 60 administrators of hospitals from Kansas attending.
During the general session which began at 9, Dr. William R. Campbell, associate professor of management at the University of Tulsa, spoke on "Practices of Hospital Supervision and Administration: The Management Process," and on "A Role Playing Situation" at 10:45.
In the afternoon, members of the Kansas Hospital Association attended a "worry clinic." In the evening a buffet dinner was held, with Marvin W. Nichols, president of Kansas Hospital Association, presiding.
The general session for today will take up at 9 a.m., with Dr. S. G. Huneryager, assistant dean and director of the Management Center at Creighton University, speaking on "Developing a Style of Leadership in the Modern Hospital." Later in the morning, the "Case Discussion: Selection of a President" also will be presented by Dr. Huneryager.
After the noon luncheon, Dr. Norman W. Anderson, director of Medical Health Services in Topeka, will discuss "Present and Future Needs for Long Term Facilities in Kansas."
