The new type of education was to be liberal as well as practical. . The term mechanic arts has been interpreted to include all branches of engineer- ing. Within this interpretation and the more specific authority of the state legislative session of 1890, the institution has organized and now offers collegiate curricula lead- ing to the Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture, architectural engineering, archi- tecture, chemistry and engineering, civil engineering, education, electrical engineering, home economics, interior decorating, mechanical engineering, pharmacy, science and iterature. These curricula all have practical relation to life and as furnishing for them a firm and broad basis, strong departments in. bacteriology, botany, geology, pathology, mathematics, physics, zoology and physiology have been required and maintained. To provide for the liberal education there are strong departments in economic science, English language and literature, French, German, music, political and social science, Spanish. No provisions are made for the dead languages. The institution stresses a world of life and action. 1928 e B H S 1928 Ten
