THE JUNIOR COLLEGE DIVISION OF THE CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC Stand all ye loyal Polyites, and let us propose a toast to the fifth anni- versary of the Junior College division of The California Polytechnic. Let us take this opportunity to explain the reasons for the establishment and the advancement of this institution. Through the persistent efforts of William J. Cooper, The California Polytechnic was granted a charter for a junior college division, specializ- ing in vocational education. Very few other schools had the necessary equipment for anything more than the most elementary of vocational train- ing. The California Polytechnic had not only excellent shops and laborator- ies, but it also had the proper atmosphere for the development of such an institution, and a corps of teachers who were devoted to the principles of vocational education. To date no other junior college in California has undertaken to offer training in semi-professional trades. Most students who come to Polytechnic do so because of a desire to obtain training to fit them for remunerative employment in occupations of a mechanical and engineering nature. They wish to obtain more technical knowledge than they are able to secure in vocational high schools, and yet do not care to undertake the burdens of a highly theoretical course. Many junior college students here are taking terminal courses in aero- nautical, electrical, and field engineering; others are taking academic courses preparing themselves for further work in universities. The rating of California Polytechnic for college and university acceptance of students whose transfer is entirely satisfactory, and thus far all Poly students who have left to continue school elsewhere have proved their mettle. Each year many junior college alumni return for Homecoming or special assemblies and are enthusiastic in their praise of the training received here. Faculty members of The Polytechnic are proud of the young men who are enrolled in school here. They are slightly older than most junior college students. Standardized tests show that they are unusually high in mental ability and decidedly above the average in achievement. As individuals, they possess unusual initiative, purposefulness, and interest in the work they are doing, and they have made many friends both in town and on the campus who will gladly testify that they are most likeable. Those junior college men who have entered industry directly and those who have transferred with advance standing to the universities to prepare for enrollment in industry later, have made records of which faculty and students are justly proud. Whichever route they take, they are fulfilling the purpose of the Founding Act in contributing to the indus- trial welfare of the State of California and helping to build a reliable and intelligent citizenry.
