History, UNH Department of Electrical Engineering - Part III (Continued) by Professor Leon W. Hitchcock (deceased), formerly published in the Tech Alumni Newsletter Electrical Engineering Advanced Degrees A search of catalogs and commencement programs for the years 1871 through 1926 yielded only the following titles and authors of theses submitted over this period, shown in Table 1. The opportunity for graduates to earn the professional degree of Electrical Engineer first appeared in the catalog of 1921-22. Enrollment of graduate students for the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering occurred for the first time in February 1947. A list of graduates who earned either of the above degrees and also those who received, earned or honorary degrees are listed in Table 2. Table 1 Electrical Engineering Theses 1871-1926 |

| Electrical Engineering Graduates Interesting information regarding employment of electrical engineering graduates from 1899 to 1937 was available and this is shown in Table 3. During this period, 345 students completed their studies in electrical engineering and of these, information regarding their occupations was available for 302. The greatest number of these graduates found employment in the public utilities industries. During this period, 93 graduates were in-state residents who remained in the state for employment after graduation, while 202 left the state after graduation. Of 44 out-of-state students during this period, 8 stayed in N.H. and 36 left the state. |

Electrical Engineering Faculty A list of the electrical engineering faculty for the period 1891 to 1968 is shown in Table 4. A major change in the size of the faculty followed the marked increase in student enrollment in electrical engineering subsequent to 1945. Of the full-time faculty members, three individuals served for more than 20 years (Leon W. Hitchcock, 46 years; William B. Nulsen, 41 years; and Frederick D. Jackson, 21 years). Seven members who were appointed prior to 1968 continue to this date 1975: Alden L. Winn, appointed in 1948 and now has served for 27 years; Fletcher A. Blanchard, appointed in 1950 and now has served 25 years; Joseph B. Murdoch, appointed in 1951 and now has served for 24 years; Ronald R. Clark, appointed in 1957 and now has served for 18 years; Donald W. Melvin, appointed in 1957 and now has served for 18 years; Kerwin C. Stotz, appointed in 1963 and now has served for 12 years; and Filson H. Glanz, appointed in 1965 and now has served for 10 years. Table 4 Electrical Engineering Faculty 1891-1968 George L.

Part 4 Student Army Training Corps A Student Army Training Corps (S.A.T.C.) was started at New Hampshire College about October 10, 1918 and its purpose was to enroll students already in college but permit them to remain in college. These students would not be called to active duty until after graduation, except in the event of a great emergency and then they would be placed in work along the lines in which they had specialized in college. These students would be in uniform and could choose assignment with either the Army or the Navy (Naval training unit branch of S.A.T.C. designated as N.T.U.). The S.A.T.C. and N.T.U. students would follow a regular schedule of classes and drill periods. The following students majoring in electrical engineering were members of the S.A.T.C. Army and N.T.U. Navy programs: S.A.T.C. Army N.T.U. Navy Hoffman, L.B. '19 Ladd, F.W. '21 Plaisted, G.E. '20 Litch, R.C. '21 Scmmon, C.A. '20 Pike, O.W. '20 Pingree, G.N. '20 Weigel, F.A. '20 Wildes, K.L. '20 The S.A.T.C. and N.T.U. programs were ended on December 14, 1918. |
