With prophetic vision of the prominent position that ceramic education was destined to achieve in the professional and industrial life of the Nation, Boothe C. Davis and John J. Merrill established at Alfred University in 1900 the New York State School of Working and Ceramics. With another ceramic school that was just getting under way at that time, it became the func­ tion of the institution to pioneer in the field of ceramic education, leading the way to what is now a nation-wide scope of university education in ceramics, firmly established as an essential part of higher education. The growth and development of the school under the direction of Charles Fergus Binns, exemplify the extent to which these functions were fulfilled. He served as its director from the time of its founding until 1931 when age necessitated his retirement. Year by year the enrollment increased from five in 1900 to one hundred sixty-nine in 1931. The development of the courses of instruction kept pace with the growth of the school so that the needs of the ceramic profession, as they developed from year to year, were served at all times. During this period of the school's history the institution became a guiding beacon for ceramic education everywhere. The vision of its founders was fully realized. Emphasis was laid upon ceramic art and the school became dis­ tinguished particularly for training in the field of fine ceramics. The year 1932, however, marked a transition in the career of the institution. It is an important matter for prospective students and prospective employers of graduates to note that although no less attention is given to fine ceramics than formerly, the school is now primarily an institution of ceramic technology and engineering rather than ceramic art. Art is not neglected, but technology and engineering are emphasized. This changed status of the institution was made possible by large increases in State appropriations. A new building added 24,000 square feet of Boor space to the 18,000 square feet formerly available. This building was completely furnished with the most up-to-date equipment. The building and equipment represented a cost of over one· quarter of a. million dollars. The courses of instruction were developed to include all of the most modern i phases of scientHic instruction in ceramic technology and engineering. Special I emphasis was applied to the field of general ceramic technology and ­ ing, but) in keeping with the pioneering faith of its founders, the first and only four-year university course of specialized instruction in glass technology was added to the other curricula of the College. These developments rounded out the facilities of the College for the education of students in the art, technology and engineering branches of the ceramic profession, but there remained the need

This need was filled in 1936- by the establishment of a Department of Research or Ceramic Experiment Station, .l --t9J1gible ser~ke of contributin~ to the improvement of ceramic products and thereby making it possible to render a research service to the ceramic industries : the 0eapentng of manufacturmg operations.

It is fortunate that a technical education is in itself one of t the most effective in developing character and the capacity for good citizenship. Policies. These objectives and ideals determine the administrative policies But professional training would not thrive in an environment which is exclusively of the College. Experience has demonstrated that teaching of technical and, professional in character. Non-curricular activities are, therefore, provided engineering subjects is not adequately vitalized unless it is done in a research which occupy an important although secondary position in the educational policy. environment.

M. E. HOLMES Journalistic activities in connection with the student publications is another' Dean divertisement. Special emphasis is placed upon the development of the ability for team work and the maintenance of a high degree of student esprit de corps. This is done by organizations managed exclusively by the students. Most important of these are the Ceramic GuHd for the art students and the Student Branch of the American Ceramic Society for the technology and engineering students. In normal times the social activities have leached their climax in the celebra_ tion of St. Patrick's Festival. The celebration of this birthday of the patron saint of engineers was accompanied by an open house. a formal ball and numerous other activities. It is hoped that this can be done again but in the interests of the war effort and the accelerated program this event and some other social events have had to be curtailed.

Intimate and friendly contact between faculty and students is provided by a system of student counselling whereby the individual problems of each ~ludent receive the personal attention of a member of the faculty. Personality ratings are kept from semester to semester for each student and all possible aid is given him in developing the traits of resourcefulness, originality, industrious­ ness. reJiabiHty, honesty, judgment. and cooperativeness. Rounding out all of these non-curricular activities which have to do with the development of personality and character is the religious life. Although absolutely non-sectarian in character, the institution emphasizes the importance of spiritual development and undertakes to inculcate in the student the desire • for Christian living. Chapel and weekly church services provide facilities for this purpose. Although every form of effective help is offered the student in all of his curricular and non-curricular activities, he is never relieved of his own responsibilities. He solves his own problems but he does so with the aid and cooperation of the faculty. The more brilliant students are not neglected in order to favor the less brilliant ones, nor are the less brilliant students neglected in order to favor the more brilliant ones. Regimentation in all of its aspects is studiously avoided. The principle of equal rights and opportunities for all prevails. Each student knows that regardless of financial. social or intellectual status, he will get what he earns. but that, also, he must earn what he gets.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Graduation depends upon successfully completing the prescribed courses of study with a grade point index of 1.00 or more. No substitutions for the prescribed courses are permitted, but by means of the elective courses, from which selections may be made in the senior year, a small degree of variation in the curriculum to meet the individual wishes of the student is possible. The curriculum is developed to meet the needs of the profession rather than the wishes or preferences of the student. A minimum of one year's residence is required for all degrees in course. The College reserves the right to withhold a diploma for poor scholarship or other reasons.

DEGREES Degrees in Course The degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is awarded to those students of the Department of Ceramic Engineering, the Department of Glass Technology and the Department of General Ceramic Technology) who successfully complete the prescribed courses of study in these departments with scholastic cumulative grade-point indices of 1.00. The department in which the student majored is stated in the diploma.
