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 Clay 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
