MINI TR T10 DR. EDVVIN S. BURDELL has worked conscientiously toward the im- provement of the school since his appointment to the directorship of The Cooper Union in 1938. One of the outstanding achievements of his administration has been the program of liberalizing the art and engineering courses.

He has contributed greatly to the establishment of closer relations between faculty and students.
