(j III HE goal of the training in the Engineering College is the graduation of 111 students whose instruction has been such that they can compete successfully with the graduates of the best engineering colleges of the country ,and who at the same time will become trusted leaders in their different communities by reason of the fine character and high ideals developed in part at the University of Wyoming. The College consists at present of divisions in each of the four main branches of engineering, civil, electrical, mechanical and mining. In each of these divisions the underlying idea of the curricula is a thorough training in fundamental subjects. No special work is given for degrees in restricted fields for which a student may or may not be fitted or have a permanent interest. The basic work done will, how- ever, enable a student to enter any of several particular lines after getting into practice and knowing better what life work to follow. In the past the College has graduated many men who are today prominent in their work and who hold positions of responsibility. It hopes its present student body will have at least as great success and in greater numbers than ever before. [29]

The College of Agriculture T has been a good year for the Agricultural College. The stock-judging team surpassed all previous records for Wyoming teams in the contest at the Inter- national Livestock Exposition at Chicago. Many members of the graduating class have been granted fellowships in other universities, where they will have a chance to do graduate work. The members of the faculty have been elected to important offices of the national societies in their special fields of work, and they have pub- lished books and articles that have attracted national attention. The general scholar- ship of students, both in Agriculture and Home Economics, has never been higher. The graduates of the last few years are making themselves felt in positions of lead- ership in this and other states. Throughout the state more and more young people of Wyoming are coming to realize that a course in Agriculture or Home Economics in our own University is the best possible preparation for a useful and happy life.

The College of Education (Jlip ' HE function of the College of Education is to train students for the pro- III fession of teaching. Through its various curricula students may prepare to become teachers or supervisors in the elementary schools, teachers or supervisors in rural schools, supervisors of music, teachers of academic, and vocational sub- jects in high schools, and directors of Physical Education. An excellent program of graduate work is offered for superintendents and principals. Due to the growth and development of the College of Education, a large percentage of the teachers and administrators in the state are either graduates of the University of Wyoming or are pursuing advanced work in the summer session. Students in the University who are desirous of entering a vocation where opportunity for service is prac- tically unlimited, yet insures to one who is thoroughly prepared a satisfactory living wage, should give consideration to the profession of teaching.
