Specific curricula are offered in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Mining, Chemical, Industrial, Architectural Engineering, and in Architecture. Within these major divisions come the more closely differentiated branches which receive special names in the commercial field such as Municipal and Sani- tary, Railway, Structural, Hydraulic, and Highway in the Civil Group; tele- phone, radio, electric railway, hydro-electric, and illuminating in the electrical field; railway mechanics, automotive, aerodynamic, refrigeration, heating and ventilation, and petroleum in the mechanical field; coal mining, metallurgical ore dressing, petroleum, and geological in the mining field; metallurgy, fuel, petroleum refining, and manufacturing chemistry in the chemical field; produc- tion, purchasing, sales, and personnel in the industrial field.

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

The Graduate School E. B. Stouffer Dean WH ARE coming more and more to realize that our civilization can advance only as education advances. While many students must for various reasons end their formal education in the grade school, the high school, or the college, it is vital that those with the necessary qualifications should press on into the Graduate School. From this group must come almost all our advanced teachers and our research workers, and many of our thinkers and writers in literary, political, economic, and social lines. The Graduate School aims to en- courage independent thinking and investigation built upon a solid foundation of facts. The Graduate School gives recognition of work accomplished in the form of the master ' s degree after a minimum of one year of graduate study, and the degree of doctor of philosophy after a minimum of three years of graduate study. These degrees are valuable only for the training they represent. It is the earnest eflfort of the Graduate faculty to make these degrees as valuable as possible. Page 28 m
