Nearly eighty graduates received degrees in Mechanical. Civil. Electrical and Chemical Engineering in 1933, while the attendance figures ranged about 400, a far smaller drop than was expected. ■ A new elective course has been organized in the department of Mechanical Engineering for the purpose of expanding the program by a greater diversification of subjects for the student. It is a course in Air Conditioning and is offered by a special lecturer, Ernest Szckely. An outstanding achievement of the College of Engineering was the establishment of a national chapter of Tau Beta Pi. From the organization of a national chapter here, it may be deduced that the Marquette college has been recognized as one of the foremost engineering organizations in the United States. All members of Sigma Nu Sigma, who petitioned the national society for membership, have automatically become members of Tau Beta Pi. The engineers were active in University affairs through their various professional and fraternal societies. They ushered at all football games and their Drum and Bugle Corps demonstrated its recognized ability. The Knights of St. Patrick held their usual frolic on their saint’s day. The Marquette Engineer, student publication of the College, has also won singular honors for itself in that it was one of the six out of twenty-five publications in the Engineering College Magazines Associated which maintained an A’ rating in all departments during 1933.

COLLEGE OP ENGINEERING Where the mathematical genius of youthful minds is guided to material acheivement, durably expressed in steel and granite. ■ From A. KnrUk. BS. m E.E.. dean, bos directed lb Col-Itge of Engineering through inn oral jrnn of cteadf, ton-sitlnl progress. ■ Although there is no system by which engineering colleges arc standardized, the College of Engineering of Marquette University has, during the quarter of a century of its growth, become to be unofficially recognized as a class A institution. Founded in 1908, it has progressed from a small group of twenty-two students to its present important position in the University. The College celebrates its silver jubilee year in 1933 although no official function has been planned. The popular and successful cooperative system of training has proved its soundness since its establishment in 1918, fifteen years ago. Despite the intense industrial ebb which has affected the productive centers of Milwaukee, the cooperative system has continued to function satisfactorily. Those students who were unable to obtain cooperative work due to the widespread decrease in employment, were offered four alternate plans: Plan A. The system of cooperative education, which provides for two sections that attend classes and work alternately in four-week shifts. Those students continuing under this plan, but who do not have positions, will be allowed to remain at home during the periods when they would, under ordinary conditions, be employed. Plan B. The student may take a two-degree course. This plan permits working for any two degrees in engineering that may be desired. The first degree will be awarded at the end of three years, the second at a later date. Plan C. The student may take additional courses in the Colleges of Liberal Arts or Business Administration and in the School of Law. Under this plan students desiring courses in the sciences, mathematics, languages, history and philosophy, will be able to secure work which would not ordinarily be included in the curriculum. Plan D. The student may take a continuous course. This will enable the student to finish the work required for the year in April. The course is designed particularly for those students who are able to work during the summer. However, as soon as possible, the College will return to its original cooperative system because it is considered the most advantageous method of teaching. The cooperative plan gives the student the benefit of practical experience as well as class supervision. As the attendance of the college quite naturally depends to a great extent upon economic conditions and the industrial welfare of the city, it is extremely satisfactory to note that the enrollment has maintained approximately the same level, only a slight decrease being apparent.

The new Medical building, which replaces the older structure on Fourth street and Reservoir avenue is, like other recent additions to the campus, of reinforced concrete in Collegiate Gothic design, faced with orange-buff brick. It is of four stories, with the eye clinic and laboratories in the semi-basement. All administrative offices are found on the first floor, lecture halls on the second and third, and a museum of anatomy on the fourth.

The association of the two schools will be conducive to an understanding of their common problems. It was the endowment of Mrs. Harriet L. Cramer which made possible the building of the new Medical school, and the edifice has been named in her honor. Mrs. Cramer, a former newspaper woman and one of the most public-spirited citizens of Wisconsin, at her death in 1922 bequeathed more than a million dollars to the University. The endowment fund was further augmented by smaller contributions and by the Carnegie Institute endowment. Dr. Bernard F. McGrath, dean of the School of Medicine since 1928, was in charge of the dedication ceremonies at which the county and Pack II
