Hartsook, in effect, brought
chemical engineering to Rice in
1921 when he taught his class from
his MIT classroom notes—no
chemical engineering textbook
had been published at that time.
He became the first head of Rice's
Chemical Engineering department
in 1928 and retired in 1961.
Moore '37, has been an active
alumni inteviewer for prospective
Rice students in West Texas. He
helped organize and supported the
$33 Million Campaign in the
I960's and served on the
committee that arranged for the
publication of William Marsh
Rice's biography. Moore became
the Rice University Fund Council
chairman in 1972 and was elected
to the Board of Governors in 1973.
He is currently a governor advisor
for that board. In 1977, he was
honored with the Outstanding
Engineer Award by the Rice
Engineering Alumni.
Massingill '42, is credited with
having been directly involved in
the production of some 300 million
KVA of generators or about 45
percent of all the generators in the
U.S. and one-seventh of those in
use worldwide. He is a Fellow in
the Institute of Engineering and
Electronics Engineers.
Burhoe advocates link
Ralph Burhoe —B. Davies
Ralph Wendall Burhoe, this
year's winner of the $160,000
Templeton Foundation Prize for
the progress in religion, spoke
Wednesday night on "Science and
Religion," at the Memorial
Chapel.
The lecture centered on the
difficulties of religion's survival in
an increasingly scientific .and
technologically oriented society.
Recognizing that there has been a
widespread loss of religious belief
since the proliferation of science,
Burhoe maintains that "a better
understanding of modern
evolutionary theory is the best
route to understanding religion,
and conversely I have found
religion to be a necessary element
to understanding evolution."
Ending on an optimistic note,
Burhoe asserted that today's
technology is now more capable of
providing the major religions of
the world with the means to truly
understand themnselves. He sees
ths process as the road to revitalize
society's morals and values.
Burhoe is professor emeritus of
the Meadville Lombard
Theological school in Chicago. He
has served as executive officer of
the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences from 1947 to 1964.
His most noted books are
Evolution and Man's Progress
(1962) and Science and Human
Values in the Twenty-First
Century.
