Btbtgton of DEAN R. A. SEATON MATERIAL basis of our modern civilization is the result of science and engineering. More and more is the present era be- coming the industrial age. Every labor-saving appliance manufactured is an added tribute to engineering attainment. A constantly increas- ing number of engineers will be required to maintain and advance our present position. A college education has now become practically essential for engineering work. The general trend in engineering has been reflected in the collegiate enrollment in the division which has increased from slightly more than five hundred in 1920 to almost one thousand for the present year. This division has now become the largest engineering school in Kansas and one of the largest three between the Mississippi river and the Pacific Coast states. Page 24

ibteton of DEAN MARGARET M. JUSTIN I N 1873, President J. A. Anderson pronounced the following idea of the education of women: By an act of the Legislature this institution has always been open for the education of females. What is to be aimed at in her education? A girl has a right to an education as precisely adapted to a woman ' s work as a boy ' s is preparatory to man ' s work. She has a right to all the knowledge which related sciences can contribute to her intelligence, adeptness, and efficiency in the art of making a home.
