The freshman class, the class which has years ahead of it in which to attempt to unravel the yarn of engineering knowledge has now managed to achieve some small fraction of that. This pre-engineering stage although elementary is a rather indicative one. It is indicative in the respect that those who pass through it smoothly and successfully are more than likely to find the final years to their liking. On the other hand those who cannot endure the pressure or lind the work inconsistent with their expecta- tions had better look to other fields. Yes, it is here that the engineer- ing' student is made or broken. The freshmen have been, we are sure, quite impressed by the school. Many of them being of the intelligent sort, had found things very easy in their high school courses and expected their engineering work to come with that same ease, conceding, albeit, the necessity of some little application. They were surprised indeed. Others, who, perhaps, did equally well in secondary school but worked to do so, buckled down when they came to Cooper and really gave it the works. They are the one who would come out all right anywhere, And there is, I believe, another gifmup, those who were never the best of the lot in high school-they may have been pretty good. They are not perhaps tops even now. They have their troubles but they have a kind of intellectual courage and fight and when they stumble in the race for education they straighten up again and carry on. These, l believe, are the men of which Cooper is charac- teristic. They are the sturdy libre of which it is made. The laggards have not been able to keep up the pace, these serve to fill up the mob. It is into this pattern that the pre-engineering students must make their place. REE GI EERI
