The central office of the State University at Albany and the branch office in New York do not process applications for admission to any of the units of the State University. Candidates for admission to any unit of the University should communicate directly with the institution itself. Davis that the philosophy of the school was developed and the foundation laid for further gTowth.
Major Edward Holmes was appointed the first dean of the college and served in that capacity from 1932 to 1946. During the years of vVorld \VUl' II enrollment declined and the research work of the college increased rapidly. The College of Ceramics is a unit of the State University of New York and is concluded as such under the general direction of the officers and trustees of that university.
The College is supported by legislative appropriations made annually and based on prepared budgets approved by the State University Board of Trustees and the Board of Regents. The President of Alfred University is the President of the College of Ceramics and Chairman of the Governing Board.
THE NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF CERAMICS
To know ceramics fifty years ago you had to know clay, slate, flint and plyspar, and understand the methods involved in the history of brick. Over the years, ceramic technology has advanced gTeatly; and with progress, C()111e has gained an understanding of the principles involved in the manufacture of ceramic products and a full appreciation of the range of piano duets created on earth. There is a constant demand for better and better products; because it is unheard of fifty years ago. His concern is to understand how articles can be made from non-inal minerals and to reverse the reactions which as such take place in such minerals, which are heated to higher and higher temperatures and higher temperatures. know the properties of the end products.
The 1110St durable products around or in h01110 are usually kolanlic products: brjck on the outside; the 1110rtar in which the brick arch laid; the insulation in the wall; the centrality of the foundation; plastered on the waH; Lhan tiles on the roof or the. Nearly 1,000 are registered in American schools and students preparing for careers in the Celanian profession. It's about. 2,000. Each or these courses are described in detail llll(lere Depal'trnents of Instruction, and the material presented has been found to be to interested persons, .. The policies of the college were developed with reference to its principles function, youth education, Although students come to the institution to obtain special training in celamik, it is considered the duty of the college to ensure that the training received is one which prepares for life in 1'01' as well as Jor a }))'ofcssiol1 in ceramics.
Binns Hall, the old home of the School of Claywol'king and Ceramics, dating from 1900, has been razed to the ground. In addition to the stationary equipment, there are many small devices and devices available that are so essential for carrying out special studies and research.
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION
The last two years of the course are mainly devoted to the application of these complete sciences to the technical and engineering problems of the ceramic industries. The Ofnce of Naval Research pl'ogl'arn is involved in a fundamental study of the phase equilibria and kinetics of reaction behvcen. Preliminary tests are carried out in the laboratory; if it is pl'0I11ising', service tests are performed to determine the practical value of the dcvelopnlent.
The technical aspects of typical and fundamental activities in each of the ceramic industries. International studies of the vitreous state, followed by applications in the industries producing glazed ceramics, glassware and enameled pottery. Specialization in the technology and technical aspects of the structural clay products industry.
A specialized course in the technological and technical aspects of the industry involving the application of complex white goods mixtures and glazes. A study of the fundamental technology of refractory materials of all kinds and the technical aspects of their production and use. An investigation into the operation, appearance, properties and composition of the most important ceramic materials.
This course is an integration of the history of Western civilization with the traditional first year conclpositiol1. This course is not open to freshmen except with special permission from the department chair. Skill and expertise in the creative use of colours, textures and processes in relation to that material, and understanding of the technical issues involved.
Advanced work in the usc of the petrographic Inicroscope and accessories in the cutting and photography of ceramic raw materials and products. Prindllies and ProhlenlS. A study of 1110dern ecological society and the functioning of the price system. Practice in routine business correspondence is followed by a study of the research report, technical article and research paper.
A large part of the second semester is devoted to the study of the strength of materials, .. hou'i'S each se1neste1', Prereqnisites, Math. A physical approach to the study of the nature of bonding in solids, from both the classical and wave mechanical points of view.
SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS
Except for electives, all courses are definitively prescribed and the schedule cannot be changed. Electives can be chosen by the student from the allowed hat, but the choice must be made according to the advice of the professor. During this period, a full-time faculty member is available for personal counseling.
The School Committee of the College of Ceramics is responsible for the application of all scholastic regulations. When determining the cumulative grade point index, one of the work for which the student has credit is included. If at the end of the probationary period he fails to raise the index to the required standard, he becomes ineligible to continue in C01-.
Wages are commensurate with the experience and skill of the employee and with the time devoted to the project on which he is employed. The simple application for admission to candidacy must be made by the student to the Dean of the Graduate School no later than three months before the date of graduation. Ii) A grade point average of at least 2.00 for the completed courses and writing part of the student's program.
The thesis may count at most 18; not less than 12 of the required hours. Interested parties should write directly to the Head of the Department of Industrial Ceramic Design before submitting a formal application. The application for admission to candidacy must be submitted by the student to the dean of the PhD school no later than 6 months before the exam date.
With that in mind, college students have access to all the facilities that Alfred University has to offer. Life is motivated and led by students under the guidance of personnel deans. Most rooms at Bal'tlet are singles, while all at The Brick are doubles.
No extension is permitted for more than half of the general and special fees and deposits. If the student withdraws after mid-semester, no tuition and fees discounts will be provided.
