The College of Engineering CLEMENT C. WIUJAMS Dean B.S. (!!)()()) So. la. Normal B.S. in C.E. (1907) Illinois C.E. (1909) University of Colorado ENGINEERS study; they work long involved mathematical problems; tliey survey the interurban tracks; tliey draw plans. And then one week in tlie spring of the year they toss all their books and pencils into the wastebasket and frolic for an entire week. Mecca Week is the playtime of the college of Engineering. They dance, they eat, they perform, and they exhibit. And after that they go back to their classrooms and talk a limit loads, currents, arches, and the li);e. Engineers have a code of ethics painted on their front door in gold letters. Tt lias to do with something about the honesty of the profession. It lias been interpreted to mean that an over mixture of sand and cement in a concrete wall will not make the construction very safe. It reflects the spirit of the profession that prevents all disaster that is possible from poor work. This little code might give some of the rest of the colleges something to tli ink about.

The College of Dentistry FRANK T. BREENE Dean D.D.S. (1888) University of Iowa .M.I). (18!:i) University of Iowa FROM a small organization offering two lecture courses, each of six months duration, to approximately 350 embryo molar extractors with a curriculum increased to four years lias the college of Dentistry grown. It has been termed a factory for painless dentists but serious doubt has been placed on this .statement by those undergoing treatment in the clinic. The college maintains a public service of great value in its infirmary. Here junior and senior students, equipped as in a modern office, render service at cost price to all making application. All work is done under the supervision of capable instructors and counts toward a degree. The completeness of the course manifests the thoroughness that is typical of professional training in this age. Each distinct process from the most minute measurement to the largest operation receives careful study. In other words, when the student graduates from this de- partment he is ready to take care of the large general number of calls for treatment that he will receive.

The College of Law I IK.VKY ( ' . JONES Dean LL.B. (1906) Harvard S..I.I). (1921) Cornell College LL.D. (1922) Cornell College {( A COUNTRY is as its laws. With this preface it logically follows that interpreters of Y jurisprudence arc a most necessary appliance in our modern life. It is in this unit of the university that aspiring students daily astound their professors with their uncanny sense of logic. It is here that youthful Websters move imaginary juries to tears and marshalls don their robes of justice and wield the gavel with ferocious intensity. Of the practical knowledge that the college of law dispenses to its students the practice courts are perhaps the most instruct ing from the point of view of the average man. There the embryos receive an opportunity to try cases before a regular court. They run against the misfortunes of opposing testimony exactly as they will in their professional practice. It fits the seniors to think on their feet, to reply logically tc the insinuations of the opposition and to conquer with their own arguments. EDWARD FORD f ' ARI, KlK VIN RICHARD DAVIS Page 34
