This changed status of the institution was made possible by large increases in state appropriations. The objectives of the college were stated in the legislative act which provided for its establishment. There has never been a serious accident or impairment of health in the institution's history.
Most of the rooms in Bartlett are single rooms, while all in The Brick are doubles.

INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE
Closely related to the industrial experience: is the plant inspection trip, which is conducted by students during the week before graduation, as well as participation in the American Ceramic Society's Annual Convention. For the duration of the war, restrictions on bus and rail traffic may cause changes to these usual activities.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
It is required, and in all cases advised, that the applicant[I. for adm1sslon in the Technology and Engineering departments meet the i. The choice between applicants who equally meet the foregoing requirements will be determined by the date of application. It is highly desirable that every candidate reports to the College for an interview with the dean and, if possible, with other members of the admissions committee.
Interviews will be much more profitable if, at least a few days before, the applicant's credentials, especially the certificate of recommendation containing proof of high school education, have been received by the officials of the college. Interviews must be conducted several days in advance by writing to the dean. Requests from prospective students for literature, general information and admission forms should be addressed to the confidential counselor for prospective students. 34; 'Special questions regarding the nature of the courses should be addressed to the dean. from the Ceramics College.
The Certificate of Recommendation must be completed by the high school principal and sent directly to the counselor. The application for admission must be completed by the candidate and mailed to the Counselor along with the $5.00 application fee. Only after these three credentials and fees are received are they collected by the Counselor and submitted to the Admissions Committee.

GRADES AND INDICES
Graduation depends on the successful completion of prescribed additional studies with a grade index of 1.00 or higher. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree is awarded to those students who successfully complete the prescribed programs of study in the Ceramics Industrial Design Department with a Scholastic Cumulative Index of 1.00. The Master of Science (M.S.) is awarded to graduates who successfully complete thirty-six hours of prescribed graduate study and submit an approved research paper.
The professional degree of Ceramic Engineer (Cer.E.) may be awarded to candidates who have a degree in any branch of engineering or science and who, after at least four years of industrial ceramic experience. The honorary degree of Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) may be awarded to candidates with exceptionally high distinction in any branch of ceramics. The awarding of AU degrees is under the immediate supervision of the Alfred University Board of Trustees and is based on the recommendation of duly constituted agencies.
Thirty-six hours of advanced work are prescribed, consisting of eighteen hours of research work and eighteen hours of lectures and exercises selected by the dean of the College. Graduate students enrolled in senior undergraduate courses must complete work in addition to that required of undergraduate students. Two copies of the thesis, properly typed and pounded, must be submitted two weeks before commencement.

EXPENSES
ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL EXPENSES
TUITION
Students who do not pay this fee within thirty days of being notified that they have been charged the non-resident fee will have their registration canceled. No person shall be eligible to register as a resident of the State of New York unless he has been a bona fide resident of New York for the six consecutive months preceding the date of his registration. No person shall be deemed to have acquired or lost his status of residence in this State for the purpose of enrollment by his own conduct while a student at the College unless) after one year of attendance at the College, it may be clearly established by the student that his previous legal residence has been abandoned and a new one has been established in New York for purposes other than just attending college.
The residence of the minor follows that of the parents or legal guardian, regardless of emancipation. Any student whose domicile thus succeeds that of another person, and who has not been a resident for the six months immediately preceding the marriage or appointment of a guardian, shall not be deemed to have acquired domicile until the full six-month period has elapsed .

DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH
The Station not only provides this environment, but also indirectly helps by supervising the research of the senior students. The station collaborates with ceramic and other scientific associations to push the boundaries of ceramic knowledge, thereby expanding the scope of ceramic education. All the state's ceramic companies are kept informed of the progress of work through monthly reports sent to more than 200 manufacturers.
Visits and correspondence by representatives of the individual companies engaged in the application of this work of the Station are welcome. While space does not permit a complete picture of current operations, mentioning some of the specific accomplishments may serve to provide a clearer picture of the station's operations: (1) the replacement of New York talk with foreign ones talc no longer available due to wartime conditions, (2) the development of a protective coating for lightweight refractories, (3) testing of New York clay for ceramic purposes, (4) the use of boron compounds together with salt in salt glazes, (5 ) the resistance of New York building blocks to freezing, (6) improving the glaze fit on ceramic bodies, (7) replacing English clay with English days in dinnerware, and (8) improving the drying properties of clay.
