NINETEEN ELEVEN MILLIDEK ®f)e ikfjool of (Engineering Since the founding in 1824 of the first school of engineering in America, the training of men to take charge of industrial operations has become an im- portant part of the work undertaken by most of our larger colleges and uni- versities. Nor has the maintenance of these engineering schools lacked justi- fication. No sooner have buildings and equipment been supplied than the capacity of the schools has been taxed to accommodate the great number of young men who have presented themselves to receive the training offered. The complexity of modern life, the demand for time and labor saving devices, for safety appliances, for powerful and economical machines and structures, have drawn new attention to the practical aspect of education. The Engineering School undertakes to teach the application of the in- vestigations of the mathematician and the achievements of modern science to the varied work of construction, as well as to indicate the lines of new or more extended research, and to equip the student within its doors with such infor- mation and training as will enable him to attack these problems with con- fidence and efficiency. Besides the requisite that the engineer be endowed with the most versatile faculties, he must also be the possessor of a broad funda- mental training. For the latter it is the aim of the engineering school to supply the means, and the accomplishments of the last generation of engineers have brought not only recognition of the services rendered, but acknowledge- ment of the value of the contribution which the technical school has made to the achievements of the profession. Millikin maintains the departments of Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, with courses in each leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. In addition to class-room instruction, practical courses are offered in the shops and laboratories. Graduates who go from the school enter their vocation on an equal footing with those trained elsewhere and are filling positions of re- sponsibility with credit to themselves and their Alma Mater. Sons and brothers at a strife? What is your quarrel How began it first ? No quarrel — merely a slight contention. — Faculty Meeting. 26
