FIRST GRADUATION IN 1908 In June, 1908, the institute awarded its first diplomas, graduating students in chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical and metallurgical engineering from the College of Engineer- ing, and students in architecture from the College of Fine Arts. On April 20, 1912, the name Carnegie Technical Schools was changed officially to the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and the institution received from the State of Pennsylvania a charter of incorporation with the power to confer degrees.

These fellows work in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Mines on research problems, and the results of their investigations, which are published, are recognized by the mining profession throughout the world as of great value. A bureau of metallurgical research was established a few years ago, and it has already justified its creation. Many of the problems of the steel industry are brought to it for solu- tion. An international conference on Bituminous Coal was held at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in November, 1926, which was attended by over 1,700 delegates from all sections of the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Czechoslo- vakia and Japan, representing states, cities, universities, learned societies, business and industry.
