in the late 1950s or early '60s had this UC student checking those gauges in Baldwin
Hall's old mechanical engineering lab in the "high bay area." Then, again,
it's possible he is a chemical engineering student of that era. Some sharp-eyed readers
will surely be able to identify this diligent student.
According to UC' s "Cincinnatian" yearbook of 1959, the engineering college
had recently undergone a number of changes intended to "improve the program
to keep up with the nation's modern trend," making entrance requirements tougher
and putting curricular emphasis on "basic science and general knowledge."
