v JAtkA wke The School of Fine Arts Central Ad D. M. SWARTHOUT Dean THE year just passed has been a noteworthy one from the standpoint of achievement in the School of Fine Arts. The enrollment showed a consider- able increase over last year. The contribution made to the artistic life of the campus and comanunity by the school has been particularly outstanding. The formation last year of the Oratorio Chorus of more than 500 voices brought back to the University this field of musical endeavor, effected a closer union between the city and the University, and put on a most successful presen- tation of Handel ' s Messiah in the spring. The success of the first Music Week was such as to warrant planning for an even greater program for the present year. The series of All-Musical Vespers, which were inaugurated last year, stressing particularly concerted music of the best type and which made such an appeal, have been carried on through the winter months as before with the result that the seating capacity of Fraser Hall has been taxed at practically every concert.

The Sckool of Engineering p. F. Walker Dean Marvin Hall THE School of Engineering was established in 1891. From 1870 the Depart- ment of Engineering, then organized in the University, had offered courses in Civil and Electrical Engineering, but it was not until 1891 that the division was established on the basis of a distinct school. It is the aim of the School of Engineering to give a thorough fundamental training in the mathematical and physical sciences, supplemented by a proper amount of work pertaining specifically to the various branches of engineering. Great stress is laid, also, on the training in English composition, on economics and business principles, and on foreign language in the chemical and architectural branches. t II
