20 THE PIKE ' S PEAK NUGGET ®l|c Scljool of rtgteermg DEAN CAJORI The past year has been one of remark- able growth of enthusiasm in Colorado College. This growth has been notice- able everywhere, but perhaps in no de- partment has it been so strongly evidenced as in the School of Engineering. The old Chemistry Club has become the En- gineers ' Club, a literary society, whose special aim is to encourage original think- ing along the lines of Civil and Electrical Engineering. Its members, drawn from engineers of the three upper classes and the faculty of the Engineering School meet on the evening of St. Patrick ' s Day at a stag banquet which is purely a social affair, and regular meetings are held once a week to conduct programs and listen to practical talks by men who have be- come foremost in the field of engineering. These lectures have become a feature of the Engineering School — the club and the College have united to secure the the best speakers possible, and the result has been the placing before the students of a vast amount of practical information and suggestions which could never be acquired in the ordinary class room routine. The Summer School of Surveying, held in Manitou Park has contributed in a great measure to the growth and success of this department, giving as it does practical field work to test the knowledge gained in classes. Manitou Park is an ideal field for such a school, presenting an opportunity for every kind of work which the engineer will be called upon to perform in his profession. The Pro- fessor of Civil Engineering has charge of the work, and with his corps of assist- ants is able to give individual attention to each student. Students provide their own board and bedding, and pay a ten-dollar fee for instruction. Several important changes have been made in the faculty of the Engineer- ing School. Professor Moody has succeeded Professor Mills as Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering, Professor Martin has taken Professor Lyon ' s place as Professor of Civil Engineering, Mr. Thomas that of Mr. Green as ' In- structor of Civil Engineering and Mr. J. H. Arbuckle has become Superintendent of Mechanical Laboratories to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Chas. G. Collais. All of these men have had practical experience in heir fields of work, and are keeping the school up to its high standard of efficiency.
