Liaison With Maritime Industry Subject Of Stevens Tech Meeting Representatives of 19 companies with maritime operations met re- cently with administrators of Stevens Institute of Technology to discuss a liaison program between the maritime industry and the en- gineering and science college. The meeting was hosted by An- thony J. McAllister, chairman of the Finance Committee, McAllis- ter Brothers, Inc., and a graduate of Stevens in 1921, and Dr. Ken- neth C. Rogers, president of Stevens. The proposed liaison would af- fect a program in which members from the maritime industry would cooperate in establishing a cur- riculum of a current and practical point of view to the industry; ar- range short courses, seminars and workshops of interest to the in- dustry; provide for a transferral of technical information, and par- ticipate in research and develop- ment projects. The liaison would also set up programs to promote graduate studies in fields of interest to the industry, and to foster careers in the industry through the recruit- ment of graduate and undergradu- ate students. Stevens offers graduate pro- grams in ocean engineering that lead to the master's and doctoral degrees. The Institute is also the home of the Davidson Laboratory, a research facility with a world- wide reputation in the areas of ship hydrodynamics, terrestrial and amphibious vehicles, and building technology. Anthony J. McAllister The history of Davidson Lab- oratory and areas of current re- search were discussed by Dr. John P. Breslin, director of the labora- tory, during the meeting..Dr. Bres- lin explained the laboratory had pioneered in the development of the use of small models to predict the performance of sailing yachts, including all America's Cup de- fenders since the 1930s, all types of merchant and naval ships and water-based aircraft, planing boats and surface-effect ships.
