JL SCHOOL 4 TEXTILES The CLEMSON textile school offers three major courses: (1) Textile Engineering, (2) Textile Chemis- try and Dyeing, and (3) Weaving and Designing. The enrollment in the Textile School has shown an appre- ciable increase, year by year, during the last ten years. This increased enrollment in textiles has been brought about by the growing demand for Clemson textile men. Competition in the textile industry, as in other indus- tries, is keen, which means that the industry needs and is calling for a greater number of men technically trained in textiles. Even with this greater enrollment and the corresponding increase in the number of grad- uates, the yearly requests for Clemson textile men are approximately double the number of textile graduates available for the positions. The Clemson Textile School with its eleven well- trained teachers is continuing its work in the reorganiza- tion of the present textile courses with a view toward giving the students training which keeps pace with changes in the industry. The Textile Foundation is now cooperating with the American textile schools in the re- organization of the courses in yarn manufacturing. This work is centered at Clemson under the general supervi- sion of a committee representing the deans of the textile schools, and under the direct supervision of the Dean of Clemson Textile School. H. H. Willis. The Textile Foundation is also sponsoring work in wool and in cost, economics, management and marketing as applied to textiles. DEAN H. H. 30

llu SCHOOL • CHEMISTRY Even THE OLDEST Clemson man, on returning to the College, will recognize at least one familiar landmark. The Chemistry Building was the first erected on the campus and, except for the addition made in 1900, stands today as it did in 1893. But there have been changes, vital and significant, within the department itself. From an original staff of two instruc- tors, the personnel of the department has increased to thirteen. Prom a comparatively few courses the curriculum has changed to one of variety, embracing many and newer fields, for the department and its work have grown with ever-increasing de- mands of the profession. The School of Chemistry and Geology, under the able direc- tion of Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, can justly say that its graduates are well equipped for their life ' s work. The responsible posi- tions held by the School ' s graduates attest this fact. LEFT TO RIGHT— FRONT ROW: R. E. Gee, F. W. zurBurg, F. H. H. Calhoun, H. L. Hunter, W. L. Lippincott. SECOND ROW: G. F.

1L SCHOOL 4 ENGINEERING The school of engineering has offered courses in engineer- ing since Clemson was first opened and now gives four-year courses leading to degrees in Chemical Engineering, Civil En- gineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Also in the Engineering School is one of the South ' s leading Architectural Departments. Electives are offered in Electrical Engineering to those who desire to study Radio or the applications of the various tubes to industry. Air Conditioning is offered in the Mechanical En- gineering course as well as electives in Aerodynamics and Re- frigeration, if sufficient students desire these courses. Our curricula are changed from time to time in order to keep in line with present day conditions. Many of our faculty take graduate work or work in industry in order to keep in touch with modern trends in engineering. It is our purpose to fit men to take their places in industry both in and out of South Carolina and to train architects to take care of the great building industry, particularly in the South. Our engineering graduates are occupying very responsible positions in all phases of engineering in South Carolina as well as throughout the nation. Many of our graduates are with the State Highway Department, with the various power and light- ing companies and with manufacturing concerns, while others are doing consulting engineering work. We have been very for- tunate in the demand for Clemson graduates this past summer. DEAN S. B. EARLE LEFT TO RIGHT-FRONT ROW: R. L. Anderson, J. E. Shigley, S. W. Little, S. B Earle B E • Fernow J.
