Description:Excerpt from Coal-Mining Investigations Under Auspices of Carnegie Institute of Technology, United States Bureau of Mines, Advisory Board of Coal-Mine Operators and Engineers: The Yield and Quality of the Gas, Oil, and Other by-Products of the Constituents of the Freeport Coal Bed, Pennsylvania Pittsburgh is the greatest industrial center in America; and the heart of the greatest bituminous coal-mining district in the world. It is eminently desirable, therefore, that this city should have an institution which devotes a part of its great facilities to the scientific study of that branch of the industry which is largely responsible for Pittsburgh's development and that of western Pennsylvania. On May 27, 1919, a number of the leading representatives of the coal-mining industry of western Pennsylvania met in conference with the then President of the Carnegie Institute of Technology with a view of bringing about closer relations between the Institute and the mining interests. It was felt that the advice and cooperation of men in the field were necessary for the training of young men for mining work, and at the conclusion of the meeting the following resolution was adopted: That this gathering give its approval and moral and material support to the form of education proposed for the Carnegie Institute of Technology by which students may receive a combined technical, practical and business training, necessary to fit them for service in the coal mining and allied industries. Further, that the President of the Carnegie Institute of Technology appoint a board of no less than ten men representing the coal mining and allied industries, the United States Bureau of Mines, the State Department of Mines, and the Carnegie Institute of Technology, who will advise and assist in carrying out this program of education and training, particularly in its practical phases to the mining industry and in its cooperation with the United States Bureau of Mines. Following further the intention of this resolution, the President of the Institute entered into a cooperative agreement on June 1, 1919, with the Director of the United States Bureau of Mines whereby full advantage could be taken of the Bureau's laboratories, equipment, and library, as well as of the advice and instruction of its technical staff. To carry out this new program there was organized during the summer months the Cooperative Mining Courses in the Department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, College of Engineering, of the Institute. The course in mining engineering covers four years, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The two-year course in coal mining is planned to prepare men with a certain amount of practical experience for executive positions.
