The College of Engineering HE College of Engineering has but one reason for existence and this reason is the ideal toward which the college turns its every aim and effort. That ideal, and it is a worthy one, is to train Kentucky boys so that they may most effectively adapt their own efforts and talents and achievements of science to the use of mankind. That it is successful in its efforts is evidenced by the phenomenal growth of the col- lege, by the outstanding success of its graduates and by the loyalty and gratitude which these men feel toward the institution which has given them their training. “Kentucky Engineers” are known throughout the profession and are in great demand in every engineering enterprise demanding men of technical knowledge and personal ability. Too much credit cannot be given to Dean Anderson, “Little Paul,” as he is affec- tionately known. He was here at the beginning when the corps of instructors could be numbered on the fingers of one hand and the students in engineering on those of the other. And he is here now when the college is known as one of the best in the country. He it is who puts the true spirit of the engineer into his “boys,” he it is who fills their hearts with a worthy ambition and he it is whom they respect and honor as the man who has introduced them into a career of which they may be proud, a career of service.
