GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY This department has as ns objective the training of students in Lite fundamental principles of geological science, and the application of that training to various engineering problems in the fields covered by the 1 ‘mineral industries curricula. Emphasis in this course is placed on practical applications that will train the student thoroughly for a career in the geology held. Muilenberg, G.

The Department of Mathematics has as its object the training of students in the fundamental operations of the various branches of the subject along with a certain amount of application to elementary engineering problems. For the more advanced work in mathematics applications rather than pure theory are stressed. Rankin, R. M., I ss Of id te Professor a Math e nut t i rs A, Ik, 191(1. Maryville (Term.) College; A.

DRAWING The aim of all drawing courses is to prepare the student to do creditable professional work in engineering planning or in a drafting office. This subject presents the underlying prin- ciples of drafting and at the same time gives enough practical work to fix the principles in the students mind. Mann, C. V..

Engineering Economics, Industrial Organization and Man- agement, and Personnel Management. Other courses are designed to provide an understanding of man’s past, of how mankind has reached its present stage of cultural develop- ment; of the mechanisms of contemporary political, social, and economic institutions; and of the principles of human behavior, a knowledge of which makes possible the prediction of individual and group reactions to the physical and social environments.

S., 1935, M.S.. 1936, Missouri ENGLISH The English Department aims (1) to train students in the mechanics and style of communication; (2) to enlarge the intellectual range of the student so that he may more full and effectively live with his fellow men. The first is achieved by instructing the student in the most effective methods of oral and written communication; the second through a study of the world’s greatest literature; and the two aims are inseparable.

MECHANICS The purpose of the Mechanics Department is to teach the students the principles ol that science which treats the effects rl forces on bodies. Since the engineer is continually faced with problems involving the control and utilization nl lorces, the subject of mechanics has become a basic course. Wiu.fAvs, R. Z., Associate Professor of Mechanics B.S. in Met., 1931. B.S. in C.E., 1937, Missouri School of Mines; M.S., 1936, Wisconsin. MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS j he military training received at the Missouri School of Mines is of personal value to the college students in both in- dustrial and professional careers. The young titan, at an impressionable age, absorbs habits of courtesy, punctuality . and self-control, learns the value of organization, h developed physically, and is taught the fundamentals of leadership.

Courses, other than funda- mental, are offered to those who wish to major in physics. Woodman, L. E„ Professor of Physics A.B., 1H91), A.M., 1902. Darthmouth; Ph.l)., 1910. Columbia 1 insen, W. |..
