C, B. Neblette Counselor PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY W, i le the Institute has offered work in Photog- raphy for more than a quarter of a century, it was not until 1930 chat the Department of Photographic Technology was organized at the suggestion of, and with the co-operation of, the photographic industry. It was organized to provide training for positions in the photographic industry and various branches of professional photography and these are its primary objectives today. Dr. Ellingson was Supervisor of the department from its organization until 1936 when he assumed the Presidency of the Institute, In that year the course was extended from two to three years. The department is now recognized as one of the leading schools of photography in the United States and is the only one with a three year course. PUBLISHING AND PRINTING o nly in its third year, the Publishing and Printing Department has already made a name for itself. With some of the finest equipment available which is rapidly being augmented, it is one of the most completely equipped schools in the country. Its program and methods of training have attracted wide attention among the leaders of the publishing and printing and allied industries as well as among prominent educators. There arc many schools which teach printing as a trade but the Institute is one of the very few which offer a purely professional course. Owing to the scarcity of educational institutions which teach such a course, the Institute has filled a great need of the publishing and printing industry. The field is an open one, particularly for men with professional training. This is evidenced by the fact that every student who completed the course last year found ready employment. Byron G. Culver Counselor 2-4
