Engineering H. KNIGHT, College Engineer JOHN SIMONS working on motor in Engineering Shop The Engineering department is a very active and important division of the college industries. It is under the directon of Hollis Knight, a recent graduate of the college. In conjunction with the Industrial Arts department, it takes care of the general maintenance of the campus utilities, which includes Welding, plumbing, and electrical work. Thus, we see that there will be no dripping faucets, no short circuit, and no burst boilers, as the department keeps the campus fires burning. The department is responsible for the water supply, electric service maintenance, and heating systems of the entire compound. Due to the steady increase of work a jeep has been secured to accommodate the I I A student employees in their daily assignments. 'ix fit .
