have kept pace with the growing needs of the school. Formerly the courses offered were not so strictly technical as they now are and many students entered to pursue academic courses ; now the courses are all professional, and are rapidly being ex- panded to meet the growing importance of technical work. The courses now offered are Mine Engineering with broad options in M i n i n g Geology, Mining Machinery, Coal Mining, Ore Dressing, Metallur- gical Engineering, Civil Engineering and General Science, It is the hope o£ every alumnus and student that these courses will be extended to provide training for students in Chemical, Ceramic, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, for which the school ' s equipment is entirely adequate. Frequent changes in a faculty are to be deplored and the school has been fortunate in this respect. The ideal now seems to be to select teachers, not so much on their scholastic or professional record as on their ability to teach. As the student is required to do more and more exact work he has a right to demand higher teaching efficiency, and as “efficiency is the charm- word of en- gineering, so ' ' teach- ing efficiency and personality that will attract, h old, and inspire the student has become the maxim of this school in selecting in- structors. The future of the institution looks bright indeed. Its alu m n i are among the leading men in the min- ing and allied industries. The compe- tent faculty, splendid equipment and policy of judicious expansion are sure to keep the institution in the highest rank of Engi- neering Schools.
