John B. Armstrong at The Ohio State University

     John Blandford Armstrong was a member of two groups while at Ohio State University in the late 1930s.  In this 1937 OSU yearbook pages he is listed as a senior.  He was also listed as a senior in the 1938 yearbook.  This was probably because he was  enrolled in a five year program which resulted in a simultaneous bachelor and masters degrees. One of his degrees was in Chemical Engineering, hence membership in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
