Policy of School of Mines.
The value of the school of mines to
the state is indicated by the following
concise statement of its policy by
Dean Francis A. Thomson:
THE school of mines is at the SER
vice of the people of the state, and
through it's cooperative relations with
the state and federal bureaus it stands
in unique position to render aid in
the development of the states mineral
resources. Great as are the developed
mineral resources of the state, it is
probable that the undiscovered min
eral resources are still greater To
the development of these untouched
reservoirs of public wealth, the school
of mines through education and in
vestigation pledges itself"
