I Outstanding at Caitech is the Humanities department, for Kara this department, in contrast to most other technical schools, has sufficient faculty and student time to produce a well rounded cultural, linguistic and economic education. The Humanities courses offered vary widely. Literature is extensively represented, for English literature as well as novel and short story work is required; and electives vary from Bifjlical to contemporary literature. Supplementary are courses in phil- osophy. Professor Clinton Judy, besides heading the depart- ment, directs the field of literature. History is under the direction of Dr, William B. Munro and has bean built up into a unit stressing world and con- temporary history. Economics has grown in the last decade. Standard courses in elementary economics and business have long been given together with semi-graduate courses in business management. During the past year a new study of Industrial Relations has been established, Dr, John R, Macarthur has for many years directed lan- guage instruction, and, while teaching largely the technical reading of German and French, he occasionally branches into foreign literatures and fieginning Greek, In addition, the Humanities department greatly aids school life by raising the standard of debating and journalism through faculty help, by fostering the building up of the Caltach Musicale, by bringing Dr, Ross ' popular psychology lectures to the Institute, and by its sponsorship of exhibits of general interest.

Pounded in I UK), with the advent of Professor Sorensen, the Electrical Engineer- ing division falls in llie latter classification. Its rote in the deN(lo|)rnent of higli-f)otential power transmission lias been outstanding, while research in electronics has been ever advancing. Civil Engineering, under the leadership of Professor franklin Thomas, holds a sig- nificant record in i)ul)lic service, pfirticularly in the riefds of soil mechanics and earth- quawe prevention. Economic and social service are perpet- ual aims of tfie Mecfianical and Hydraulics Engineering division which is instrumental in the saving of millions of dollars in pufjlic projects. The Metallurgical division is a pio- neer in alloys. Head of tfie hydraulics defiartment is Professor Rofjert L. Daugfierty. His re- search in devefof)ing various fiydraulic pro- jects and his textfjool on the same sufjject have been valuable contributions. As the most productive aeronautical lab- oratory in the world, the Aeronautics depart- ment under 1 heodore von Karman is the youngest and fastest growing of this out- standing array of studies encompassed by the Engineering department. The Guggenfieim Laboratory of Aero- nautics was erected in 1028. It was to super- vise work here and at the Guggenheim Airship Institute at Akron, Ohio, that Pro- fessor von Karman left Eurojie.
