COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The major function of the College of Education with reference to teacher training is two-fold, guidance and preparation. In the preparation of teach ers the College de¬ pends largely on the subject matter depart¬ ments of the other divisions of the Univer¬ sity, articulating the work of these depart¬ ments for the needs of the prospective teachers and supplementing their efforts with appropriate courses of a professional nature. In performing the guidance function the College attempts to represent the interests of the prospective teachers in all colleges of the University. While other divisions enroll stu¬ dents who expect to teach, the College of Education is vested with the responsibility for leadership in the University’s training program, a responsibility which involves the continuous study of problems of placement and of improved articulation between college prepara¬ tion and work in the field. The student teacher is given practical training in practice teaching and they are given certifi¬ cates, which allows them to teach in the State, when the course is successfully completed. Dean C. E.

SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law entered on its ninth year with a marked increase in enrollment. For two years the Law School has passed from the category of small law schools and grown into the group of state university law schools of normal size. This year there are eightv-five students in the Law School. With increased enrollment and the con¬ stant growth of the law library, the addi¬ tional quarters made available in the fall of 1927 became crowded. Facilities which appeared to be adequate for a number of years have become, to some extent, insuf¬ ficient. In 1931 the Law School offered its first summer courses. It is hoped to offer in the future a greater variety of law courses, many of which will be of interest to other than law students. Dean J. S. Waterman The Law School, in addition to its work on the campus, has continued to keep in touch with the profession over the state by its law bulletins which contain discussions of legal prob¬ lems of statewide interest. Though the law school is only a few years old, many law grad¬ uates are located successfully in the state, much to the pleasure of those interested in the school.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING An engineer, in using and utilizing the forces of nature and in directing men, may find his field of usefulness in serving society as a professional engineer, who may teach, en g a g e in research, or, as a professional engi¬ neer, advise others. Such men should have mastered the physical sciences and mathe¬ matics, and be proficient in some branch of Engineering. The man with aptitude for engineering, but having a lesser knowledge of the funda¬ mentals, may find useful employment in pro¬ duction or installation of machinery, estima¬ tion or appraisal, sales work or operation. The training one receives in an engineer¬ ing college fits him for service in a number of fields and should he find himeslf in some other vocation, the t raining he has received w iH be of great benefit to him. Dean W. N. Gladson Our Engineering College is well equipped for training men in the fundamentals. Our faculty is small in number but every man has been chosen because of his ability and high standing in the field that he represents. Our laboratories, supplied with the best available instruments offer the best opportunities for the graduate student as well as the undergraduates.
