G. W. U. The 1911 Cherry Tree G. W. U. The College of Engineering and Mechanic Arts HE College of Engineer- ing and Mechanic Arts is the logical develop- ment of the old Corcoran Scien- tific School which was added to the University in 1884. Its growth has been in response to the growing need and demand for such an institution in this community. Its ideals are those of the best engineering schools ot the country. It aims to provide for the young men resident in the District of Columbia instruction in the standard engineering courses. At this time its curriculum includes work in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, leading to the specialized degrees of bachelor of science in these subjects. Graduates of these courses may take advanced technical work under the faculty of graduate studies and receive the degree of civil engineer, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer, respectively. It aims to give, in connection with its technical courses, instruction in the subjects of general culture and learning, a knowledge of which should be a part of the equipment of the trained man in every walk of life. Its student body is drawn from the two constituencies that must be provided for by any institution of higher learning that aims to meet the needs of Washington. It has enrolled among its students constantly increasing number of young men who give their entire time to college work, and who take the full course in four years. It also provides classes at such hours as are available for study by those who, employed in the Government service or in some other occupation, are able to give but a part of their time to study, but who have the preparation, the aptitude, and the perseverance that makes it possible to engage in gainful occupation at the same time that they are taking college courses. Since all such persons must extend their work over more years than ate required by students giving their entire time to the work, it has been found possible to arrange schedules of classes without undue repetition of courses by giving a part of the technical courses in the afternoon, and so alternating the courses assigned to the rfternoon from year to year as to provide for the needs of the students and to give i hem the subjects in proper sequence. The work done by both of these classes of students is of the highest character, and the College is proud of its student body and its alumni.
