i 2 ' ' jjrr jfefe gS-S t Division of Hn incorimj The division of engineering at the Kansas State Agricultural collejjte occupies an honorable place among similar divisions found in other collegiate institutions. Few engineering schools in the middle west are so fully equipped and so well prepared to con- duct efficiently the instructional work. The effectiveness of the course may be measured by the fact that a very large percentage of its graduates are engaged in technical pursuits. The growth of the division has been remarkable. In the last ten years the number of students enrolled has increased to three times the number at the beginning of that period. At the present time the division has the largest enrollment of any of the divisions at Kansas State Agricultural college; an enrollment larger than that of any other engineering school in the state of Kansas. DYNAMO LABORATORY The electrical engineering department has, in addition to the dynamo laboratory, extensive laboratories in illumination, tele- phony, electrical measurements, and dynamo winding. i o:y j r xj ' i i= z

Division of Engineering Four year curricula are offered in the division of engineering in agricultural engineering, architecture, civil engineering, electrical engineering, flour-mill engineering, and mechanical engineering. In addition to the four year curricula, special instruction in a number of vocations is offered. A three-year curriculum in mechanic arts with trade practice electives in blacksmithing, carpentry, concrete construction and stationary and traction engines is given. Short special courses for automobile mechanics, tractor operators, carpenters, machinists, blacksmiths, electricians and foundrymen are designed for those who desire training in these trades and who find it impossible to take advantage of any of the longer courses offered. ARCHITECTLKAL DRAUCHTINC, ROOMS The architectural department is one of the popular depart- ments of the college.
