Aeronautical Structures

An Aeronautical Structures Laboratory will be established at Columbia University during the next academic year, according to John R. Dunning, dean of Columbia's School of Engineering. Designed primarily as a clearing house for information on high‐speed rockets and aircraft research, the laboratory will be under the supervision of the department of civil engineering and will be directed by J. M. Garrelts, professor and head of that department. In its research the laboratory will be able to make use of the facilities of the university's physics, mathematics, and other departments as well as such installations as the cyclotron laboratory at Irvington‐on‐Hudson and the Materials Testing Laboratory.
