Abstract

ALTHOUGH the science of metallurgy has been a subject of university rank in Great Britain for many years—actually since 1851, when the Royal School of Mines was founded—the development of metallurgical courses in the United States has been much more rapid, and has taken place along somewhat different lines. It has always been the policy in British universities to give major attention to the extraction, smelting and refining of iron and the non-ferrous metals, and recently a more or less justifiable barrage of criticism has been directed at university authorities for their comparative neglect of the physical and engineering aspects of metallurgy.
