If was nof unfil l9I6, however, fhaf a formal course offering a Bachelor of Science degree was esfablished. The School now has separafe deparfmenfs of civil, elecfrical, and mechanical engineering, and offers fhe lv1asfer's degree in each of fhese fields. In fhe lasf fen years fhe engineering sfaff has been fripled, adding many oufsfanding men.

The School program is placing ever increasing emphasis upon The imporTance oT acTual experi- ence in The pracTice Teaching siTuaTion. This means ThaT laboraTory TaciliTies are needed Tor The pre-pracTice Teaching level as well. lT is hoped ThaT a UniversiTy high school will soon be available To saTisTy This imporTanT need. The graduaTe school, Through which conTacT is mainTained wiTh IO per cenT oT ConnecTicuT Teachers, has also seen considerable growTh. An educaTional clinic Tor The sTudy oT elemenTary educaTion was recenTly begun. This clinic shows greaT promise in The direly needed invesTigaTion oT reading problems. Possessing a sTaTT reorganized in research and oTher Tields, The school oT educaToin is well equipped To give The closely guided supervision oT iTs TuTure Teachers which iT deems so impor- TanT.
