The work of the Department of English is directed toward two principal objectives. The first is to develop in Tech men the ability to speak and to write English effectivelyg the second is to cultivate in them-through the study of history and litera- ture-that breadth of view and soundness of judgment which should everywhere characterize men of trained intelligence, men who by reason of their educational advantages should be the leaders of their generation. Without mastery of the technique of speaking and writing effectively, the special knowledge of the scientifically trained man can be utilized only imperfectly. Without an understanding of history and an appreciation of literature, he cannot attain the vision in the light of which the problems that the world must face will be clarified, and scientific achievement will acquire a new significance.

As the fields of City Planning and Housing continue to ex- pand and receive increased recognition from the public at large, it is essential that close contact be maintained with recent de- velopments in technique and administration. During the past five years the ratio of graduate to under- graduate students in the City Planning Course has shown a steady increase, and it is interesting to note that a considerable number of the candidates for the degree of Master in City Planning received their undergraduate training in the fields of Landscape Architecture or Civil Engineering. As the relationship between the professions engaged in the various aspects of community development is such an important element in a comprehensive planning program, it was with much satisfaction that the students and staff of the City Plan- ning Course co-operated with the senior class in the Department of Business and Engineering Administration in a collaborative problem, an experience which proved pleasant and profitable.

Recent developments in the Department of Civil and Sani- tary Engineering have been characterized by research work in various fields and in the application of research facilities to the educational program of the Department. Research work has included the investigation of problems in elastic buckling in the Structural Analysis Laboratoryg stud- ies dealing with new types of strain gages in the Seismology Laboratoryg investigations of the volumetric changes of soils under stress in the Soil Mechanics Laboratoryg flocculation studies for water treatment in the Sanitary Engineering Labora- toryg investigations of the flow of water in open channels in the River Hydraulics Laboratoryg and studies of volumetric changes and durability of concrete in the Concrete Laboratory. New courses treating model analysis of structures and Aerial Surveying Qoffered by the Surveying DivisionD have been initiated during the past year. At the same time a new hydraulic demonstration table was secured for use in theoretic hydraulic courses. Martin J. Buerger .l0hl1 W- M- Bllllkel' S.B. '25g S.M. '274 Ph.D. '29g Associate AB.
