The development of the courses of instruction Note: Individual members of the faculty serve on sc\'cral committees of the University kept pace with the growth of the school so that the needs of the ceramic pro­ Faculty. fession, 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 distinguished particularly for training in the field of fine ceramics.

The year 1932, however, marked a transition. By legislative enactment, the school was raised to the rank of a College and was given its present name. Large increases in State appropriations provided a new building, more than doubling the available floor space, and furnished it with the most up-to-date equipment, at a total cost of more than $250,000. The courses of instruction were developed to include all of the most modern phases of scientific instruction in ceramic technology and engineering. Special emphasis was applied to the field of general ceramic technology and engineering, 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 engineer­ ing branches of the ceramic profession, but there remained the need of facilities for research and development work. This need was filled in 1936 by the estab­ lishment of a Department of Research or Ceramic Experiment Station, thereby making it possible to render a research service to the ceramic industries of the State as well as to educate students.

This program of expansion and development was carried out under the administration of the late M. E. Holmes, Dean of the College from 1932 until his death in May, 1946.

The ceramic profession is one of the oldest in point of time but one of the newest in point of development. Over six thousand years ago, ceramists were making brick and pottery, but it was not until 1900, just after the initiation of ceramic education and the establishment of the American Ceramic Society, that the profession started its development into its present high art, technical, and engineering status. Now, some six hundred students are preparing themselves in American ceramic schools for careers in the ceramic profession. Approximately eighteen hundred are practjcing the profession.

The last two years of the course are devoted pClmanly to the applICatIOn of these fundamental sciences to the technical and engineering problems of the ceramic industries. The work of the ceramic engineer is usually the manufacture of ceramic ware. He is therefore, primarily a production man, although he may engage in research or sales work. For this reason, the subjects of mathematics, mechanics, strength of materials and equipment design and plant layout are emphasized.

DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH The College reserves the dght to retain ware, drawings, and designs, made by students. The Department of Research, also known as the Ceramic Experiment Station, . Graduates receive the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.). is the agency by which the New York State College of Ceramics renders service to the producers and users of ceramic products in the State of New York. It serves INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC DESIGN' CURRICULUM the ceramic interests of the State as the agricultural schools serve the agricultural interests. It promotes a greater use of New York raw materials.

More and more, fundamental and industrial research is being conducted in university laboratories like the Experiment Station. There is always some risk to industries in investing large sums for equipment to investigate specific problems. The way out of this dilemma often will be found in cooperative research between the industries and the Ceramic Experiment Station. Several of the industries are maintaining Fellowships in the Research Department to conduct research on problems peculiar to their industries, The financial support and work of Fellow­ ships sponsored by industries in the Ceramic Experiment Station is almost equal to that sponsored by the State at the present time. In some cases the Fellowships are maintained by an association of manufacturers, thereby rendedng service to a whole group instead of to an individuaL Duplication of research is thereby avoided. It is difficult to conceive a more economical way to investigate such problems than to arrange for this study through a cooperative fellowship such as those of the Experiment Station.
