KRAUKLIS Since its establishment in 1891, the School of Engineering and Architecture has become one of the top ranked engineer- ing schools in the nation, and the third largest school on the K.U. campus. The present dean of the school is Dr. John McNown, who is a K.U. graduate of 1936. The student entering the School of Engineering and Architecture will find a varied selection of degrees in its twelve departments: aeronautical, architecture, chemical, civil, electrical, geological, me- chanical, mining, metallurgical, physics, or petroleum engineering. Marvin Hall is the present home of the

and Sciences ences, which include psychology, sociology, economics, and political science, and the humanities, made up of literature, history, arts, music, and philosophy. Through required courses and distribution regula- tions the student is exposed to the many fields necessary for a liberal education. By thus broadening the base of the student's studies, it is hoped that he will become a more intelligent citizen and make use of the vast amount of knowledge and experi- ence he has gained. To the student who is wavering among several choices or has no plans beyond the fact that he wants a college education, the College gives the opportunity to explore areas and challenges, and to enlarge his fields of vision during his first two years. With the arrival of the junior year he may remain in the College with his decided major or change to one of the professional schools. One out of every twelve students in Liberal Arts is working toward a double major, some are even carrying triple majors. It is also possible to enroll simul- taneously in two schools, such as Education and Liberal Arts. As can be seen the Col- lege offers many opportunities which lead to developing versatile young people for our expanding world. STUDENTS listen ond record their own voices in The longuoge sound lobs.

and Architecture engineering student, but there are plans for a vast expansion of the school. This pro- gram has begun with the building of the first nuclear reactor for K.U. The new building will be the center of research and teaching activities, the biophysics training program and a new environmental health laboratory. Completion is expected in April of l96l, and it is something to which any engineer will be proud to have access. One of the annual events sponsored by the Engineering School is the Engineering Exposition in April. Each department has a display, and a trophy is awarded to the department with the best display.
