The Great Patriotic War broke out in 1941. It was a difficult ruthless¹ war during which all people suffered from famine² and deprivations³. Many factories and plants were evacuated to different safe regions. The Leningrad Machine Plant named after Kirov was evacuated to Chelyabinsk. Now it is the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant but in 1942 it was called the Tank Plant because our Army needed much military equipment: tanks, projectiles⁴, ammunition⁵. New specialists capable of designing new machines were needed in our country. So on the 15^th of December 1943 the Chelyabinsk Mechanical Engineering Institute was established to train such specialists

on the basis of the Stalingrad Polytechnical Institute evacuated to Chelyabinsk.

There were two faculties: the Tank Faculty and the Mechanical Technological Faculty. 80 students and 14 teachers began the first academic year. The student’s life was strict: a student didn’t get a scholarship if he missed the classes three days a month; if a student missed the classes five days a month he was excluded from the Institute. In January 1951 the Chelyabinsk Mechanical Engineering Institute was converted into the Chelyabinsk Polytechnical Institute.

In 1990 the Institute was transformed into the Technical University. And the Technical University was renamed into the SUSU in 1997. Now our University, the South Ural State University, is one of the largest Universities in Russia. It trains specialists for various branches of industry, economics and the humanities as well. There are 35 daytime, evening and extra-mural departments in our University. Over 57000 students and postgraduates study in it. The University has 177 chairs. There are 2500 teachers in it. Our University has six modern buildings. There are libraries, reading-halls, well-equipped laboratories and a computer center. The literature, theatre and scientific societies are organized in the University. The students have eight hostels, the Palace of Sports and the hospital.

For more than sixty years the University has been greatly extended and improved. The students have all the facilities for efficient studying, leisure and sport. A student will be a good specialist if he takes up research. The research helps the student to use their knowledge in practice. The further development of our University is connected with scientific and technological progress. The higher school must meet the requirements of steadily developing science and technology. It will continue to improve the training of highly skilled specialists who could cope with the present-day problems.
