ll This twofstory, concrete and brick, Hrefproof building, com' pleted in 1926, and which has recently been devoted to Mining Engineering, is well equipped with facilities to present every phase of the Work. On the first floor is the display with models of different types of mines, scale models of screening plants, an aereal tramway, head frames, ore bins, and types of timbering, geologic models, rock drills mounted to show the details of their operation and mechanism, mine safety and rescue apparatus, blasting tools and materials. In the Petroleum Engineering Laboratory on the second floor is apparatus for testing petroleum, products and for determining the porosity and permeability of oil bearing sand.

EF -4. -. 9- J 1 Wecnanica! Engineering Nlechanical engineering is the art and science of genf erating, transmitting, and utilizing mechanical povverg the production of tools, machine tools, machinery and their products. In addition to the research, design, development and investigation required in creating these services and products, mechanical engineering includes the coordination of manfpower, material, natural resources, and moneytfor effective and economic production. It is the object in this department to give the student a comprehensive training in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering which will he of practical use to him in almost any industry of his choosing. The lectures given in the mechanical department are sup' l ported by extensive test and design laboratory practice. Dr. A. J. Miles, Chairman of Mechanical Dept.

Mining Engineering 1nay be defined as the application of the basic sciences and fundamental engineering knowledge to the winning of the mineral wealth of the earth. Since Paleolithic man, 45 0,000 years ago, began mining flints, the history of mining has been one of continued and increased application of the principles of basic science as new knowlf edge has become available to the problems involved. Not only has the technique of actual orefwinning improved tref mendously, but ore Ending methods have advanced through fthe efforts of the mining geologist. The Mining Department covers completely all phases of Mining and Petroleum engif neering, both for 'undergraduate and graduateistudy. Also, the work is completely correlated with other engineering departments so that the young mining or petroleum engineer is provided with a broadly based technical education. ining ngineering Dr, J.
