■.Mm-wmi% MiS a es aar 1 F. H. Sibley ]| (EOILLEGE OF ENCINEEEING I pi NCJINEERING COLLEGES are in a rtate ot transition wherein courses II J designed primarily to train artisans are giving place to courses that have in view a broad development in social and political as well as in natural science. With almoft every issue of the college catalogue some o£ the nar- row intensive technical work is replaced by hrcxider general courses. Induftriahsm is the word that characfterizes the acftivities of the human race at the present Jay more closely than any other. Training in the learned professions, such as Medicine or Theology does not necessarily prepare the ftudent for leadership in induftry. The educated leader whose training is based primarily on pure and applied mathematics is better adapted to 20th century thought when one observes how the engineer is taking over positions of great responsibility, formerly taken by men in other professions. At Nevada as well as elsewhere the engineering curricula are being continually broadened. A iludent may at the beginning of his sophomore year plan his own schedule so that on approval of the faculty he may get all of the general specific train- ing and still specialize in Chemistry, Physics, I ure Mathematics, Business Admin- iftration, and other subjects.

' mi iimim 9 ' COLLEGE OF AETS AND SCIENCE || IHE College of Arts and Science is a plaftic inftitution responding to the || changing interefts and needs of the University of which it is a part, and the capacity of the ftate which supports it. When the course of ftudy, the schedule of classes, or the entrance requirements appear to be ftabilized, a new department is created, an old one reorganized, or a class of indents with new needs applies for in ruftion, and the entire organization muft be shifted. During the present year only minor changes have been made. The enrollment in the College of Arts and Science has shown no increase this year, which appears to be the condition existing in moft of the other colleges as shown by a survey made of some ninety representative colleges. This may be a break in the regular curve of University expansion. At any rate it will serve as a welcome pause which will enable the College to catch up with itself and eftablish some of the standards which it has attempted to maintain. The check in University enrollment expansion has in many localities been due to the rapid growth of the Junior colleges. There are fifty thousand indents en- rolled in these two-year colleges throughout the United States. Maxwell Adams First Row: Chappelle, Church, Duerr. Second Row: Harwood, Hicks, Higginbotham, Hill.

COlLlLEeiE OF ACEICULTUEE IXTY-FOUR per cent o£ the grad- uates of the College of Agriculture are acftually following agriculture, while pracftically all of the others are follow- ing lines of work for which their agricultural training has helped prepare them. Of the 39 women graduates, 23 are married, 12 are teaching Home Economics, and two are dieti- tians. This year 8 men and 4 women grad- uate, as compared with the 5 men and i woman graduates of last year. Three of this year ' s women graduates plan on teaching Home Economics in high schools, and one intends taking up dietetics. All of the 8 men graduating this year are assured of positions along agricultural lines, three having already been employed by the Exten- sion Division as County Agents. The Agricultural Fair sponsored by the indents of the College of Agriculture in cooperation with the Farm Bureau has grown from a small affair in the Agricul- ture Building, attended by three or four hundred people, to a real fair held at the University Barracks, and attended by three or four thousand. Aggie Day was firft Parted in 1922, and each fair since then has shown marked improvement, and is of real value to the ftate and communitv. Robert Stewart n I First Row: Frandscn, Lehenbauer, Lewis.
