Dr. Dale F. Leipper, head of the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology, says the new Ph.D. program will help to combat the serious shortage of adequately- trained meteorologists in the coun try. Meteorology, the natural science of the atmosphere, has important and extensive bearing upon agricul ture, engineering and all the other human activities, and is playing a steadily increasing role in military affairs, he said, Aviation Emphasis “With the coming of the ‘air age,’ the science of weather has veered its emphasis to aviation from plant and animal life appli cations, as reflected by transfer of the Weather Bureau from the De partment of Agriculture to the De partment of Commerce about 1940”, Leipper said. “Consequently”, he added, “train ing and research were re-directed, and little advance has been' made in the important agricultural and engineering applications of weath er and climate, particularly in the former.” He stated that most institutions which have individual courses or complete undergraduate programs in meteorology established them in the last 10 years to meet the growing demand. Masters Degree Minimum “However, training in profes sional meteorology continues to be considered as being primarily at the graduate level, and the mas ter’s degree has been and is still the usual minimum objective in the education of the professional meteorologist,” Leipper said. He bx'ought out the fact that in the past, students from Texas and neighboring states, had to ti’avel to Los Angeles, Chicago or to the East if they were interested in training in professional meteorolo gy. “This didn’t encourage many peo ple from this section of the coun- tx’y to enter that field”, he said. Organized in 1918 It was in May, 1918, that A&M became the site of the nation’s first large-scale meteorology training program. War was raging in Eu rope and the Army established the school to train meteorologists for military service. By the time the armistice was signed, mox’e than 300 men trained at the school and at weather sta tions had been sent overseas, more than 200 others were on duty at military installations across the countx-y and 25 had been transfer red for duty with the Navy.
