Standard’s Chief
To Address ASChE
Meeting in March
Dr. F. D. Rossini, chief of the
Section on Thermochemistry and
Constitution of Petroleum of the
National Bureau of Standards, has
consented to give a talk to the
Texas A. & M. section of the Amer
ican Chemical Society on Wednes
day, March 13. The meeting will
be held at 8 p. m. in the Chemistry
lecture room, and the subject will
be “Hydrocarbons in Petroleum,”
illustrated by lantern slides. On
account of the large quantities of
petroleum produced by Texas, the
subject is one of great interest.
This will be the second speaker
of national prominence brought to
the college by the A. & M. section
since it was organized last spring.
The first speaker was Dr. 0. R.
Sweeney, of Iowa State College,
Ames, Iowa, who spoke on the
utilization of agricultural wastes.
A third speaker scheduled for April
is Dr. Robert C. Hills, in charge
of new developments for the Free-
Port Sulphur Company, who will
talk on the development of new
applications for sulphur, an im
portant Texas product.
Dr. 0. M. Ball—
(Continued from page 1)
he retired in 1937, the department
had grown under his adept guid
ance to a staff of ten full-time
teachers and several graduate as
sistants. Besides his teaching, Dr.
Ball has written a number of books
and papers pertaining to various
fields of biology especially those
relating to fossil plants. A dozen
or more books and scientific papers
have been published under his
name. The value of these to
science and to men of learning was
recognized by The National Insti
tute of Social Sciences when it
elected Dr. Ball a member. His
selection was made “in recognition
of distinction attained as a scient
ist.” Then, too, he has been listed
in Who’s Who in America every
year since 1912.
After 34 years of active service
in the Biology Department, Dr.
Ball, as his own request, was re
lieved of his duties in that capacity
and named curator of the Texas
A. & M. College Museum. His suc
cessor was Dr. C. C. Doak, a mem
ber of the staff since 1926. Im
mediately after becoming curator,
Dr. Ball obtained the use of the
small brick building near the Ad
ministration Building that was used
at that time as the U. S. Treasury
Building, and began this new
task.
Into this museum went two of
the most extensive collections of
fossil material in the South, one
assembled by the late Dr. Mark
Francis, internationally known vet
erinarian, over a period of 40
years, and the other gathered by
Dr. Ball, himself. That was just
the beginning, but it made a size
able foundation upon which to en
large. Since that time the museum
has received many interesting ad
ditions, which to enumerate would
run to great length.
One of the more outstanding
among the collections is the one
known as the “masks of faces of
the South Sea Islands and the
Malay Archipelago.” The exhibit
is a pageant of 101 faces, each a
