Goeebhb of Applied Science Increased demand for trained workers in botany and bacteriology, client-istry. entomology and zoology, and physical education have made the College of Applied Science very popular with students of Montana. Offering the degree of Bachelor of Science in five major courses with the option of enough educational credits to enable one to teach, the College of Applied Science has become one of the most popular departments of Montana State College. Having a twofold duty to perform the College of Applied Science offers instruction and training in the fundamental sciences as they are applied to agriculture, engineering and home economics. The second aim of this College :s to prepare specialists in the various branches of basic sciences. Also, a great part of the instruction of the major division of the other departments of Montana State College is given by the College of Applied Science. The courses offered by the College of Applied Science which lead to a degree of Bachelor of Science are Applied Science. Botany and Bacteriology. Chemistry, Entomology and Physical Education. The department of Applied Science is intended to give the student a fundamental knowledge of the sciences and of mathematics. Sufficient educational credits may be taken to enable the student to hold the Cniversity Certificate of Qualification to teach. Botany and Bacteriology is divided into three departments. First, the training of teachers who have a thorough knowledge of their science, secondly, the training of students for professional careers in Bacteriology and Plant Pathology, ami training in Pre-Medical work. The work of the Pre-Medical department is arranged to fit the requirements of the medical school at which The student intends to continue his work. I

education in military tactics, agriculture and mechanic arts should lu given for the young men and women of the state. The College of Engineering consists of eight different departments. Four year courses are offered in architecture, chemical engineering and industrial engineering, engineering physics, irrigation engineering, civil engineering and mechanical engineering. The courses of study follow the accepted standard of all the engineering schools throughout the I'nite 1 States. Studies that will fit the engineer for special or technical work are emphasized. Work in the class room is supplemented hy practical experience in the shops and drawing rooms. The College of Engineering at Montana State ranks among the best of engineering schools and its graduates have usually been successful. The College of Engineering has an exceptional faculty. The professors at the head of the departments are: Chemistry. William M. Cobleigh: civil engineering. Leon D. Conkling: physics. Frank W. Ham: mechanical engineering. Eric Therkelsen; architecture. William H. Flew, and agricultural engineering. Harvey E. Murdock. Frof. W. M. Cobleigh this year succeeds Earl 11. Norris as Dean of Engineering. The training that graduates of the College of Engineering receive is very thorough and practical. This fact is shown by the success that its graduates have achieved. W. T. Haines, who received his F . S. in electrical engineering in 11H 1. is one of the leading research workers in the laboratories of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, in New York City. Yerle McCoy, who received his degree in mechanical engineering in 1925. is now doing mechanical work for the Milwaukee railroad. II. J. Ellingson. an electrical engineer who graduated with the class of 192:1. is now supervising construction of electrical work in Antonion. Jamaica. A RCHITECTl’RK

Work in the? chemistry department of the (’ollege of Applied Science is very similar to that given hy the College of Kngineering. However, special emphasis is placed upon the various phases of the chemistry of agriculture, home economics or engineering, depending upon which field the student intends to continue his work after he finishes his training. A four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Knto-mology is also offered. Many students are taking this course with the intention of entering the professional field of their science. Others are preparing for work it! the zoological sciences. Kquipmenr for this department is very adequate. including a scientific library which is outstanding. Graduates are employed by the state governments and the iTiited States government. Training men to fill the demand for trained athletic dirctors is the work of the department of physical education. Training in subjects pertaining to the professional duties of the director is emphasized, while much work is given •n the fundamentals of other subjects. Bacteriology Laboratory
