NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL OF CLAY- WORI{ING AND CERAMICS
In founding this school in thc year 1900 and placing it under the control of Alfred University, the Legislature
or
the State of New York recognized not only the importance of education for the pursuit of industry and industrial art but also the fact that such education can best be pursued in co- operation with coordinated studies in the field of liberal arts,Thc aims of education are viRion and skill. Industry is making greater demands than ever upon the character and qualities of its employees, and the teaching profession calls for ability and persoHality of a superior order.
'ro enable its graduates to meet these reqnirerncnts in their chosen careers) the School haR been established. 'rho studies l'elating to the arts and industries of ceramics are numerous and varied. Physics and Chemistry are fundamental and are closely followed by mechanical knowledge and manual dexterity. Engineering looks to production on a large scale, while Applied Art plans to beantify the product and enhance its appeal to the consumer.
'l'here are two courses of instnlCtion, pH-ell of which ex~
tends over four yea.rs and is equivalent to an aeeepted college course. In the course in Ceramic Engineering, instrnetion is givcn in the preparation and use of clays and other ceramic materials; in the use of machines, molds and di(~s for the shap- ing of various products and in the design and operation of all descriptions of kilns and furnaces. IJectul'cs and la.boratory exercises are arrangcd for the planning and preparation of cCl'amie materials including clay bodies, glazes, g'lasses, enamels and colors. Graduates arc thus qualified to occupy positions eermnic chemists, techllical experts, or department managers.
