COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS The College of Chemistry ' and Physics was organized as the Audubon Sugar School with curricula in sugar technology and sugar engineering in 1893. Since the time of its organization, the College has grown steadily. It has a faculty numbering thirty full time people. In addition, there are some 60 graduate research and teaching assistants. The College offers degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics. At the present time, the number of students which we are able to graduate in these fields is less than one-third of the number which could profitably be placed in industrial, academic, and research positions. The College is accredited nationally by all accrediting organiza- tions and has a fine national and international reputation. o T. J. LEMOIN PraUfHt R. A. ALVAREZ. JR. R G. P.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING The College of Engineering is an integral and a very important unit of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. Ever since the establishment of L.S.U.. engineering has been taught. Its graduates occupy important positions in Louisiana, in the United States, and in the world, requiring men and women trained in the fundamentals of the various engineering curricula, as well as in the ability to think, to act and to get along with others. During 1954-55. the faculty of the College of Engineering, among other duties, has been cooperating with the Committee on Evaluation of Engineering Education of the American Society for Engineering Education, in studying the various engineering curricula, with the purpose in mind of educating our students so that they will be pre- pared to cope with the problems of the technological world in which we are living.
