WE? HU MANITIES The California lnstitute, unique among American technical schools, of- fers a well-rounded course in which the student spends much of his time in the Division of Humanities. Under the Chairmanship of Clinton K. Judy, in- struction is offered in Literature, Lan- guagaes, Philosophy, Economics, His- tory, and Government. An Industrial Relations Section, under the direction of Professor Robert D. Gray, maintains a reference library and conducts surveys and research studies on problems in in- dustrial relations. Because of the close association of the Division with the Huntington Library, many opportuni- ties for research are offered the faculty and much benefit is derived by the stu- dents from the Library facilities. Dr. Wallace Sterling, Professor of History, has done extensive research at the Hoover Peace Library at Stanford, and is a recognized authority on current historv. His course in current affairs is one of the highliahts of the senior hu- manities program. William B. Munro Clinton K. Judy George R. MacMinn

ENGINEERING m 'ff' 00? I on OH The engineering departments of the Institute are concerned with the development of applied science for purposes useful to the community. Thus, many of the members of the engineering faculty are known not only for their work at the Institute, but also for their contributions to industry and public utilities. Many industries, in appreciation for these services, have established research grants and fellowships at the Institute for advanced work in engineering. The workin civil engineering includes the minimizing of earth- quake effects, stress analysis and design problems in dams, sani- tion, sewage treatment and disposal, soil mechanics, and highway construction. Professor Franklin Thomas, who heads the depart- ment, is a member of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District. A I-ligh-Potential Research Laboratory and a million volt trans- former designed by Professor R. W. Sorenson, donated by the Southern California Edison Company, Ltd., provides facilities for the research of the Electrical Engineering Department into high voltage phenomena. The Department of Mechanical Engineering, under Professor Robert L. Daugherty, is concerned with problems in hydraulics, machine design, materials and processes, metallography, and thermodynamics.
