Thomas Witt Fitzgerald B.S., M.E., E.E., M.S. Herul rjf the Electrical Engineering Department Roy Stevenson King M.E., M.Sc, Sc.D. Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering npHE Electrical Engineerint; Depart- ment has for its object the training of youns; men to be industrious and clear thinking, and to equip them with the scientific and practical knowledge neces- sary tor the successful practice of their pro- fession as Electrical Engineers. Parallel with the theoretical work are carefully planned laboratopi ' courses be- ginning with the first year in Chemistry and continuing throughout the four years in the sciences and other subjects studied. The four-year course leads to the de- gree of Hachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. ' T ' HE high object of the mechanical engineering profession is to consider and determine the most economic use of time, power and matter. True mechanical engineering is the economical adaptation of the means and opportunities existing to the end desired. The training given in the mechanical engineering department is a stepping stone towards membership in the profession, further dependent of course, on the in- dividual. The four-year course leads to the de- gree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Paije Twenty-four

Thomas William Noel A.B., IM.B.A., C.P.A. Head (jf the School of Commerce ' P ' HE School of Commerce was estab- ■ ' ■ lislied in the fall of 191 2 with the idea of permitting engineering students to supplement their courses with business sub- jects and to give students desiring to enter upon a business career an opportunity to receive a technical training along admin- istrative lines. The success of this department has been marked and its courses and reputation are being recognized as the best in the South and very close to the best business schools in the country. The courses offered in the School of Commerce lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce. Jamks Erskinh McUaniel B.A., M.A., LL.B. Director of the Co-O fierative Depitrtinent ' T ' HE Co-Operative Department was es- ■ ■ tablished in iqi2 to enable engineer- ing students to acquire practical knowledge and experience along with their class work. The schedules are so arranged that a stu- dent works four weeks and then returns to school and attends classes four weeks. The manufacturers in Georgia and the neighboring states who employ these stu- dents find that they take a great amount of interest in the work and results show tiiat the course is valuable and successful. The degree of B.S. in whichever course of engineering is pursued is awarded after the five-year period. I 9J Page Tirenty-thicr

HiBBARD Spencer Blsk M.E. Director of the A. French Textile School Allan Benton Morton : I.A., ScD. Dean of the Summer School VX ITH the movement toward the South of the many Northern cotton mills and because of the qualities possessed by the South to foster this industr ' , the A. French Textile School has proven valuable and popular. The department is equipped for perform- inij practically every process of cotton manipulation from the cotton field to the finished product. The student in textile engineering is given a well roimdeil eilu- cation in other phases of engineering offered in the school. The four-year course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineer- ing while for the two-year course a certif- icate is given. ' TpHE purpose of the Summer School is ■ • to offer students in Science, Com- merce, Engineering and Modern Language an opportunity to do collegiate work for which full credit is allowed toward a de- gree. The courses are open to college students and teachers who desire to advance their standing and usefulness. raye Tuciity flrc
