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

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.

1L SCHOOL 4 MILITARY SCIENCE A young man graduating from an institution of learning such as Clem- son College immediately finds himself confronted with the necessity of coming in contact with his employers and with officials who supervise and manage departments of the business or activity with which he be- comes identified. Nothing makes so favorable an impression upon such employers as the gentlemanly and courteous demeanor learned in the multitudinous contacts with superiors and subordinates in the Military Department. Incidentally, the cadet at Clemson College prepares himself for serv- ice in the armed forces of the United States. A graduate of Clemson, if he has applied himself in his military studies, is ready to take com- mand of military organizations of the army in peace time and to be responsible for the lives of the individuals in such organizations in time of war. Those students who successfully complete the prescribed four years of military training constitute a most valuable asset in the scheme of defense of this country. The R. O. T. C. is the only real recruiting ground for the greatest of the National Defense Components — the Officers ' Reserve Corps. Clemson ranks high in the estimation of the War Department. Its R. O. T. C. graduates pass at once into the Officers ' Reserve Corps without further examination, a privilege of great advantage, as would be attested by the thousands who attempt to be admitted by examination. The number of Clemson graduates now in the Regular Army is large and the excellent qualities of these men are recognized. No better facilities for building character and developing the attributes of a good citizen exist anywhere in the United States than are found at Clemson College. COL. C. W.
