  • History of the Department of Ceramic Engineering the Department Was Founded Largely Due to the Efforts of Edward Orton, Jr
    History of the Department of Ceramic Engineering The department was founded largely due to the efforts of Edward Orton, Jr. who was the son of Dr. Edward Orton and Mary Jennings Orton and was born at Chester, N.Y., October 8, 1863. He was taken to Yellow Springs, Ohio, when his father became principal of the preparatory school of Antioch College in 1865. He doubtless learned geology at his father's knee, as "Dr. Orton's geological work at Antioch received official recognition in 1869 when he became one of the two principal assistants to the State Geologist of Ohio, Dr. J.S. Newberry." As a lad of nine years of age, he saw his father become President of Antioch College and a year later inducted as the first President of the newly established Ohio State Agricultural and Mechanical College, as well as its professor of geology, mining and metallurgy. It will thus be seen that geologic science and admin- istrative art entered early into his life. Boyhood and College Days From 1873 to 1877, he attended the public schools of the city of Columbus. At fourteen years of age he entered the Preparatory Depart- ment of the Ohio State Agricultural and Mechanical College, being the 238th matriculant, and was transferred to the Collegiate Department in 1881. Living with his father in the President's residence at the Fifteenth Avenue entrance to the campus, he had exceptional oppor- tunities to see the normal life of a gentleman, an educator, a scie~tist, and an administrator, and to meet many prominent men in those wa:~s of life.

  • (2017) “A Geochemical Normalization Procedure for Bricks in Historical
    1 A geochemical normalization procedure for bricks in historical archaeology David Walker and Louise Bolge, LDEO, Columbia University, Palisades NY 10964 Abstract A reconnaissance geochemical study of 50 elements in 8 bricks of the 17th to early 20th centuries from both sides of the Atlantic (Caribbean, Hudson Valley, Denmark, Holland) was undertaken to see whether geochemistry and/or petrography might be informative about such questions as geographic source provenance, manufacture, or subsequent environmental exposure and degradation of bricks. We find that our bricks persistently preserve the geochemistry of average upper continental crust from which they are derived by weathering into clay and sand components. These materials are recombined and thermally consolidated during brick manufacture. Even badly degraded bricks preserve the “upper crust” signal. “Upper crust” normalization of brick chemical data provides a useful baseline from which to look for detailed signals displayed by particular bricks. Pre-filtering geochemical analyses of bricks through “upper crust” normalization can give statistical techniques like cluster and principal component analysis more focus by deemphasizing some of the intrinsic covariations that are not related to source material provenance, manufacture, and degradation. Individual geochemical and petrographic signals are found in our 8 bricks to be recognizably related to the heavy mineral accessories they carry, but the study is not yet sufficiently informed to reliably interpret them for provenance. The petrography and chemistry of distinctive entrained particles appears to be a more promising discriminant of source material provenance than does bulk geochemistry. Future, more detailed, studies revealing more comprehensive baseline information may change this conclusion in favor of detailed geochemistry.

Chem. Res., Kyoto Univ., Vol. 54, No. 6, 1976 LABORATORY OF CERAMIC CHEMISTRY Head: Dr. Megumi Tashiro Researches on ceramic science were taken up by Professor Ikutaro Sawai and his associatesin the institute in 1937. The research items first chosen were special glasses (optical glasses) and glass fibers. In 1958, Professor Megumi Tashiro succeeded Professor Sawai as the head of the laboratory. In 1964, the laboratory was officially named as Laboratory of Ceramic Chemistry. The researches made since 1958 deal with basic problems in ceramic science, especially of glasses, glass-ceramics,sintered ceramicsand fused ceramics. The main stresshas been laid on elucidation of relations between microstructures of these materials and their properties, which would lead to discovery of new ceramics. The major researches made since 1967 are outlined hereunder. I. Crystallization of Glasses Mechanism of crystallization of glasses by heat-treatment, and properties of the resultant crystallized glasses were investigated. The compositions of the glasses examined were of the Li2O-SiO2system and those from which ferroelectric crystals were precipitated. The findings are summarized as follows: a) The extremely high rate of nucleation in the Li2O.2SiOsglass is attributed to the big change in free energy associated with bulk transformation of glass into crystal. b) Mechanical strengths of crystallized glassesand phase-separated glasses increase with decreasing size of the constituent crystal grains and the phase-separated glassy droplets, respectively.
