®ln Ifjjartmmt nf Arts unit Sricnrrs HE Department of Arts and Sciences is directly the development of the old Columbian College, Its administration is divided into five schools, the School of Graduate Studies, the Columbian College, the College of Engineering and the Teachers College. Until last year the Presi- dent of the University acted as Dean of the Department, but with the growth in the amount of business requiring his attention, it was found necessary to choose another member of the Faculty to act in this capacity. Accordingly, Dr, Howard Lincoln Hodgkins, Dean of the College of Engineering, was chosen for the position. 1 he School of Graduate Studies, under the administration of Dean Charles Edward Munroe, Ph. D., has supervision of courses in the University leading to the higher degrees. It confers in course the degrees of Master of Arts (A.M.), Master of Science (M.S, ), Civil Engineer (C.E. ), Mec hanical Engineer (M,E, ), Electrical Engineer (E.E.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D, ) The Columbian College, headed by Dean William Allen Wilbur, A. M., is the academic school, and is the representative of the old Columbian College, organized in 1821. In 1903 its name was changed to the College of Arts and Sciences, In 1912 it was again given the name of Columbian College. It confers the undergraduate degrees of Bachelor of Arts (A.B,) and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (B.S, in Chem.) The College of Engineering, headed by Dean Howard Lincoln Hodgkins, Ph. D,, offers the undergraduate engineering courses. In 1 884 this College was established in the University under the name of the Corcoran Scientific School, which was in 1 904 changed to the College of Engineering and Mechanic Arts. This year the name was made the College of Engineering. It confers the undergraduate degrees of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering ( B.S. in C.E.), in Mechanical Engineering, (B.S, in M.E.), Electrical Engineering (B.S, in E.E.), and in Architecture (B.S. in Arch.) At the end of the last session the College of Political Sciences was discontinued as a separate administrative division, most of the work being continued under the administrative direction of Columbian College, After many vicissitudes m the way of a building which would at the same time be comfortably large and convenient to the central part of the city, the Department is now housed in a building which is in every way suitable. It is to be hoped that this will form the nucleus for the establishment of a campus sur- rounded by all of the buildings of the University, As a start in this direction a new Mechanical Laboratory has already been constructed in the rear of the building. 25
