Preface.<br />

In selecting a thesis I have tried to<br />

keep in mind the uppermost object <strong>of</strong> a techni-<br />

cal training, a training that should enhance,<br />

not ones routine powers, but ones powers <strong>of</strong><br />

worldly insight <strong>and</strong> commercial attack.<br />

A technical graduate should be likened<br />

to a casting <strong>of</strong> untold dimensions, ready for<br />

the process <strong>of</strong> polishing, rather than an<br />

atomical dot already finished over by the<br />

routine grind.<br />

With the time that I have at my disposal<br />

I deem it advisable to select some small<br />

problem connected with the industrial labor-<br />

atory or the like.<br />

Hence with the sentiments as set forth<br />

above I have selected a phase <strong>of</strong> soap <strong>lye</strong><br />

<strong>clarification</strong>, a rapid analysis <strong>of</strong> glycerol<br />

by carbon dioxide evolution <strong>and</strong> a brief<br />

compilation <strong>of</strong> data <strong>and</strong> literature.<br />
