The electrical laboratory is. equipped with practically every kind of dynamos, motors, transformers, and instruments for performing all sorts of electrical tests. The illuminating engineering laboratory is provided with a dark room equipped with instruments for tests of all kinds of illuminating materials. The lecture rooms are provided with pro- jecting lanterns, which are equipped with complete sets of slides pertaining to the technical courses given. The School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics is equipped with slide valve engines, with condenser attachment, gasoline engines, a 100,000 pound ten- sion and compression testing machine, and all instruments necessary for exper- imental work in these fields. The shops are exceptionally well Fitted to give the necessary training in the manual arts. The physical, chemical and geological laboratories are in connection with the departments of chemistry, physics and geology of the University, and are fully equipped to do the best possible work in those lines. The faculty of the College of Engi- neering consists of twenty-six members who give their entire time to the work or instruction. In comparison with other engineering schools over the country, the one at the University ranks very favorably. The chief difference between this school and one of the larger ones is that the equip- ment of the larger colleges contains a greater number of the same kind of machines, and the enrollment is larger. In this school each student receives in- dividual instruction and individual at- tention, and must perform all of the laboratory work himself. School of FineAArtS,:'l By F radrik Holmbergi Dean of School of Fine Arts HE DEPARTMENT of Music was established f - at the University of Oklahoma at the time the University began its work in 1892. For the L ' Z , m . ' vi i! . . iygiqmaxkf First few years little at- us V I K , tempt was made to es- l-f-?-!! 'R tablish classes in the theory and history of music, and the work consisted mostly of instruction in piano, voice and violin, and choral classes. ' In 1903 the School of Fine Arts was established as an individual school in the University, and during this year full courses for Bachelor of Music degrees were outlined and pupils began to work for a degree with their piano, voice or violin as their major. The year of 1904-05 credit was granted in the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences for work done in the theory and history of music, and the School of Fine Arts was thus recog- nized as an establishment for general culture. From that time up to the present there has been a steady and healthy growth. The department of drawing and painting was added in 1909. The requirements for admission have con- tinually been raised. At present there are twelve instruc- tors in the School of Fine Arts. From the time this school was located in what we used to call the dungeons in the basement of the library building, until the present day' when it is more com- fortably located on the third Hoot of Administration Hall, equipment has been-added and improved upon continu- ously. The school now has a very good working library of musical scores, books for reference, biographies, text books, and other works including theoretical, philosophical, psychological and socio- logical aspects in connection with the study of music and art. . 1 4 28 A ' 'ie'KBHk' i i'EM

College of Arts and Sici- ences is the history of 1 the University for the Y- Nl ' l ' , istence. The University -it V ri., fall of 1892 with a prep- aratory department and a few college courses for special stu- dents. The public school system of the state was then being organized and there were no high schools to prepare students for the University. The pre- paratory department of the University was the first high school in the state. In 1893 the College of Arts and Sci- ences had one regular freshrnan and in the same year conferred its tirst lyicca- laureate degree, Bachelor of Arts, upon a class of two. In 1895 President Boyd of the University participated in the organization of the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools, but the University at that time could not become a member because of its thirteen units entrance requirements. 1 ' J 2 -'I lv. ,a Warm As soon as the meager facilities would permit, the preparatory school was or- ganized as a separate department giving four years' work, and the standard for entrance was raised to Fifteen units. In 1898 the College of Arts and Sciences graduated its first class and the Univer- sity was admitted to the North Central Association of Colleges. Since the graduation of the First class in 1898 the work done by the College of Arts and Sciences has been recognized by all of the leading ,::olleges, and our graduates admitted to graduate work for degrees. The College has succeeded in. maintaining high standards from the first, and though the growth in numbers has 'not been phenomenal, it has been ' iirst ten years of its ex-, was organized in theft' the center of the University out of which the professional schools have grown and around which they are grouped. A large part of its instruction is foundational for the best work in these professional schools. i Within the College there have been organized in recent years the schools of Education, Journalism, and Com- merce and Industry, so that the student may pursue subjects directly related to his chosen line of professional educa- tion. College of Engineering By J:1nmsIH. Felgar, Dean of College of Engineering iN 1908 a School of Ap- . plied Science, having for its ultimate aim the 1 tablishment of a College of Engineering, was founded at the, Univer- M ' ' sity. In 1908 the Col- lege of Engineering was - established. It was com- Schools of Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering and Mining Geology. The School of Chem- ical Engineering was added in 1910. All of these courses require four years of residence stuly for completion. The equipment of the College of En- gineering consists of chemical and phys- ical laboratories, drawing rooms, wood andiron working shops, foundry, elec- trical and mechanical engineering labor- atories, geological laboratories, testing rooms for illuminating materials, etc. In the School of Civil Engineering are to be had the usual supply of instru- ments for surveying and geodesy, and Q . ...Wifi , ,Q 'f sa A posed of the Lfyk, ' l 'fYZ-17'-':gQ ' I 'avlgfcilf t s.-.. , .
