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.

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

In the beginning, forty- three years ago. its official name was the Academic Department and the President of the College was the titular head. It embraced the divisions of English. Mathematics, Physics. Historv and Economics. The name was changed to Arts and Science Department and later to the School of General Science. Within the last fifteen years there have been added the Department of Sociology and Psychology, the Department of Mod- ern Languages, the Department of Religious Educa- tion, and a course in Government. Elective courses are offered in seventeen subjects. Graduates from this School go into the professions of law, medicine, dentistry, teaching and into business. The School of General Science prepares men to enter schools in which degrees in the aforementioned subjects may be earned. Some men go to universities for grad- uate work. The facultv is cosmopolitan both as to nativitv and training. Thirteen of the staff of thirty-three are South Carolinians, while the rest come from everv sec- tion of this country and from abroad. The leading colleges and universities of the Cnited States are repre- sented in the School of General Science. IV2 DEAN D. W. DANIEL
