dwol o E N G THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING comprises the departments of Aeronautical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Drawing, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering. In addition, it makes use of many other departments of the college. All instruction in Engineering subjects is centralized in the Engineering Building, a modern, commodious, fire- proof structure with several shop annexes. In this building are the offices, recitation and lecture rooms, general departmental drawing rooms, the shops, laboratories, and museum of the School of Engineering. This year for the first time engineering students are being given flying instructions under the C. A. A. plan of the Government. The training is given at the new Starkville Municipal Airport, located just three miles from the campus. Mr. M. S. Camp, the instructor who was a student of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, has four modern planes available for use of the students. The Engineering School led this year in the number of graduates receiving Bachelor of Science degrees with a total of ninety-nine. - ' ENGINEERING BUILDING
