A&M To Receive Grants
In Engineering Program
Texas A&M will share in a new
engineering professorships pro
gram created through grants
totaling more than one million
dollars made by the Alcoa Foun
dation to 16 schools in 10 states.
The pz-ogram is designed to
link education more closely with
industry by fostering communica
tion between educators and engi
neering practitioners of Alumi
num Company of America.
The Alcoa Foundation grant for
engineering professorships will
total $120,000 payable over a
three-year period, with $60,000
going to each school. The grant
is in addition to scholarships and
other educational helps presently
being given these universities by
the Foundation.
H. F. Chrisco, Alcoa’s Rockdale
works manager, made the an
nouncement. Speaking for the
Alcoa Foundation, the Alcoa of
ficials pointed out that this en
gineering professorships program
is further evidence of the Foun
dation’s continuing interest in
technical education.
The announcement continued:
“The opportunity for these pro
fessors of engineering to visit
the production and research facil
ities of Alcoa, study our tech
niques, and become familiar with
the everyday problems facing Al
coa engineers should be very
helpful. Alcoa technical person
nel who visit the schools under
the program will also benefit
from their exposure to the aca
demic side of engineering. We
believe that this association will
enhance the practice of engineer*-
ing by creating a fuller under
standing of its role in both aca
demic and industrial life.”
The Alcoa Foundation was
founded for the purpose of using
its net income exclusively for re
ligious, charitable, scientific,
literary and educational purposes.
An old Arab traidition holds
that A1 Qurnah, a town in south
eastern Iraq on the right bank of
the Tigris River, is the approxi
mate site of the Biblical Garden
of Eden.
