engineering Hello, sir. My name Is Jim Brown. After my graduation from high school this year, I plan to advance my studies and would like to enter the engineering field. Could you tell me something about the University of Washington College of Engineering? I ' m glad to see you are so interested in the college you attend and would be very happy to tell you about our Engineering College and its facilities. Students in first year engineering take general courses taught by the General Engineering De- partment. After completing first year re- quirements, undergraduote engineers may specialize in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, mining, metallurgi- cal, or ceramic engineering. Students also take prescribed courses in the humanistic- social area. Besides the regular four-year program, the College offers a course of study in industrial engineering for which a second bachelor ' s degree is awarded at the end of five years. After completing the first four years majoring in any of the branches of engineering, courses in industrial man- agement and related subjects comprise the fifth year. Approximately 110 persons, chosen from all branches of the profession, ore on the teaching staff. Almost every faculty mem- ber has advanced graduate study and practical professional experience. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING DEAN HAROLD E. WESSMAN When ranked with schools from all over the country, the College of Engineering of the University of Washington hos achieved a very high roting.

dentistry Mortin, as a prospective student you would be interested in some facts obout our school. Instruction began here in October, 1946. January, 1949 the school moved into its present location in the Health Sciences Building. Is this on accredited school, sir? Yes. The School of Dentistry is approved by the Council on Dental Education of the Ameri- can Dental Association and by the Ameri- can Association of Dental Schools. What ore the requirements for gradu- ation? Requirements are listed in this catalogue. You con see that there is ample room for electives. Advancement in the school is determined by the student ' s achievements. Actual admission to the practice of den- tistry in any state depends upon how the condidote meets the requirements of the state board of dental examiners ond upon passing the state dental examination. Thank you, sir. That is certoinly most helpful. DR. MAURICE J. HICKEY School of Dentisfry education I was interviewed for an article on the College of Education today. Bob. I heard you were selected to represent the staff, Mike. That ' s fine. What did you tell them? I began with a little history. I soid the University was the site of the first teacher training school in the state of Washington and was established as such in 1913. I stressed the foct that in 1914 the School of Education became the first College of Education in any state universit y, and to add to the accomplishments of thot year, the first departmental library, the College of Educotion Library, was established. That sounds like a pretty complete sum- mary. Did you exploin the importance of our cadet teaching program in giving ac- tual working experience to the student? Oh, yes. I also mentioned the curriculum workshops, consultative progroms, ond reading clinics that help to moke our students effective teachers. 24 DEAN FRANCES F. POWERS College of Education
