MAN OF THE MONTH
39
years later, the Kansas City College of Pharmacy, founded in 1885, became the School of Pharmacy.
Today, the campus covers 85 acres. Administrative offices occupy the original Dickey house, and ten additional buildings have been erected. Newest of these is the University Playhouse, which will open this month. Although it is repertory si2;e, seating an audience of approximately 500, it has the largest and best-designed stage of any college workshop theatre.
The University drama department, until now relegated to a garage, has been unusually successful. Six graduates are currently appearing in New York stage plays.
'If six actors can come out of a garage,'' Howard says, "it will be interesting to see how many come out of a theatre."
A bachelor for many years, Ernest Howard is a mild, modest man, given to understatement.
As senior partner of Howard, Needles, Tammen, & Bergendoff, he heads what is likely the world's largest bridge designing firm. They have designed 12 bridges spanning the Mississippi River and 18 across the Missouri. The firm and partners have been responsible for many important structures in 40 of the 48 states, in Canada, Mexico, and other countries. Their recent work includes Akron's $9,000,000 express highway system, the $6,000,000 Duluth to Superior St. Louis River Bridge, Wilmington's $40,000,000 Delaware River Bridge, the $20,000,000 Maine Turnpike, Kansas City's $3,000,000 Southwest Trafficway Viaduct, New York City's
$28,000,000 Deegan Boulevard, and the $11,000,000 twin Potomac River Bridges in Washington, D. C.
Mr. Howard and Mr. Bergendoff are resident in Kansas City; Mr. Needles and Mr. Tammen, in New York. Completely staffed design offices are maintained in both cities, with project offices elsewhere as conditions require. They regularly employ about 125 graduate engineers, although during the war, while designing a number of special projects for the government, their staff was more than 500.
As a v/artime project, the firm wrote and prepared for publication TM 5-286, the 350-page War Department Technical Manual on semipermanent highway and railway trestle bridges.
