In a war of machines the stu- dent in Engineering is an all important cog. His is the duty of harnessing machines and re- sources for the all-out effort against the axis. 6 Engineering Adding to the burden of the engineering department this year is the United States, War effort.

All of the students who have taken the chelnistry of powder and explosives are now serving their country in some field ng competent the course in of chemistry. The only handicap under which the school now operates is the inequality between the present costs and a fixed appropriation in a war emergency.

Engineering Has Big War Burden Under the directions of the Engineering, Science and Management Defense Training division of the government, courses are now being offered in engineering drawing and industrial man- agement. Under the same setup, courses will soon begin in the use of surveying instruments and surveying field procedure, tomographic mapping, radio technic, materials inspection and others. There are now 165 young men being trained as Welders, machinists or radio technicians un- der these government-sponsored programs. Despite the extra load, the school is carrying on with its training of college level as usual.
