TIIE THISTLE 1911 The Growth of the Institute THE year of 1913-14, the ninth in tin history of the Institute, has contributed rather more than its share in the way of extensions and changes that make for the growth of our Alma Mater, bast year's registration was ‘2798; for 1913-14 it is 3033. 1 lie faculty has increased from 184 to ‘203, and the number of students from foreign countries from ‘20 to 51. The total number of graduates advanced from 879 to 1087. Machinery Hall, the most imposing building exteriorly yet erected, has been completed. It is the ninth structure in a group which represents an average rate of construction of one building a year since our opening in 1905. A head-house for the Industries group of buildings is now going up, and will be ready for occupancy during the summer. It will house, for the present, the offices for the Director, Secretary, Registrar, Bursar, Supervisor of Equipment, and Superintendent of Buildings. It will also provide quarters for undergraduate and alumni activities, and for a lunch-room. The temporary affair, which has done restaurant services for several years, will be probably wrecked before next September. A new wing for the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School is also under construct ion. It will increase that school's floor area approximately fifty per cent, and will provide additional space for the departments of science, household economics and costume economics. The library and general study room will be transferred to it. New courses added to the curriculum of the Institute during 1913-14 include (1) a day course in drama, in the school of Applied Design; beginning September. 1911; a night course will be offered; (‘2) a night course in sculpture in the School of Applied Design; (3) a night course in printing in the School of Applied Industries; next fall a day course in this department will be scheduled; (4) a day and night course in structural drawing in the School of Applied Industries; (5) a four-year day course in general science in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. No record of the year would be complete without mention of “Carnegie Day,” on November ‘25th, 1913. It was the first formal observance of our founder's birthday, and will hereafter be an annual event in the calendar of the Institute’s customs. Arthur V. Tarbell I’uije Eighteen
