ESTEL BURDELL PENROD 1890—1973

The University community has been greatly saddened by the recent
death of Professor Estel B. Penrod, retired Chairman of the Mechanical En-

gineering Department.

"E.B.", as he was known to his close friends, came

to the University in 1946 from the Armour Research Foundation, to become

Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Head of the Department.

Previously

he had been a Professor and Head of the Physics Department at Hillsdale
College, Hillsdale, Michigan and was a native of Indiana and a graduate of

Purdue University in Mechanical Engineering.

He also was awarded a Master

of Science degree in Physics from Purdue and a Master of Mechanical Engin—

eering degree from Cornell University.

At the time he came to the Univ-

ersity the Second World War had just concluded, and he faced a department

with only one employee and a handful of students.

Under his leadership the

department grew in a few short years to an enrollment of over 550 students

and a well qualified faculty.
