Nr I I fb ewan lpplied Science THE objective of the College of Applied Science is essentially the preparation of engineering students for successful careers in which they are outstanding, not only in ability, but also in leader- ship and citizenship. Witlr a student body comprised almost entirely of veterans, the enrollment of the college has been more than doubled since pre-war days. The launch- ing of the Institute of Industrial Research at Syra- cuse University has caused even further emphasis to be placed upon research and productive scholar- ship. Witlr many varied courses, this college is pre- paring its students for careers in every field of engineering. Courses in mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, administrative, and aeronautical engineer- ing are offered to these prospective engineersg these regular courses have been furthered by the new Summer Surveying Camp program. This college, housed in Lyman C. Smith Hall, and in its new campus at Thompson Road, has been ably headed for twenty-five years by Dean Louis Mitchell.

ur Pro A Amiable midwesterner, graduate of Morning- side College in Iowa, happily married, devotee of Duke Ellington and classics as well-all this, plus the fact that he speaks English beautifully. What more could one ask of a Professor of English ?-Mr. Jacobsen. lg 7.- One of two newspaperman-lawyers in the country, Mr. Burch studied law while hrst teaching at Syracuse in 1945. A cradle'to-the- grave journalist, he originated the downtown work project to give reporting students Contact with the public. l Hart of Applied Science has never wavered from his contention that students are wonderful people-something that no school should be without. He's been at Syracuse since 1920, and still loves the ballads of R. Kipling. Live wire and indispensable member of the Spanish faculty, Mr. jackson has been teaching at Syracuse since 1957 and during that time has endeared himself to all that have come in contact with him.

NDER the direction of Dean Thomas A. Car- roll, the College of Business Administration offers a placement bureau as one of its many new services. Under this program, seniors are inter- viewed by staff members and later by representa- tives of the various companies operating with the bureau. Syracuse is the only undergraduate school in the country that offers a basic course in the Elements of Production, using the case method. A new cur- riculum has been adopted by the college designed to develop the student into a well-rounded business administrator and guard against the tendency for him to over-specialize. Dean Carroll, who has been on the hill since 1946, formerly had been on the faculty of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard as Assistant Dean. He emphasizes the fact that the students in the college should strive for a general education. And in this respect over one-half of their hours are taken in Liberal Arts subjects. They stress the equal importance of production with other areas of learn- ing, This is evidenced by the large percentage on the dean's list-15.4. Under his direction he and the faculty have de- veloped a curriculum that is well received all over the country. Kcwineu 14dminiA tration K.. DEAN THOMAS A.
