At the present time, two of the fifteen members of the staff are enrolled in graduate schools, both as candidates for ' the doctorate degree. The V. M. I. stu lent elia])ter of the American Society of Civil Engineers has received the Certificate of Commen- dation of the American Society of Civil Engineers twenty- three times. Colonel Mohg. n Head, Department of Civil Engincerinij DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING THE civil engineering eurriculnm, which is a])i)r(]ved by the Engineer ' s Council for Professional Development, provides a background of basic sciences, api)lied engineer- ing subjects, and a number of well distributed cultural subjects. Efforts are made to develop and stress those ciualities essential for molding the graduate of this curri- culum into a good citizen as well as a successful engineer. Concentration on fundamentals enables the graduate to enter the business world directly or continue his education in graduate school. The recent facility expansion program includes the accjuisition of new concrete and sanitary engineering laboratories, located in the Engineering Annex. The lab- oratories of the Department are well ecjuipped with modern apparatus. Xew additions include a 200,000 lb. ,,i„-l Mcl)..ri(iiii;h. «lio wms IIk ' inir..rtiiimU- victim ..I this ninl.-r ' ; ice, is shown aboNe lecturing in tlie Soils laboratory to some of tin First Class civil engineers with the assistance of Lt.
