arrifi This threefstory and basement reinforced concrete and native dolomite structure was completed in 1940. It houses the departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanics. The Hydraulics Laboratory contains the equipment used for the demonstration of hydralic principles. The Highway Materials Laboratory is used for the physical testing of materials for building public high' Ways. The bacteriology, biology and sanitary engineering class' rooms and laboratories are on the second floor as well as the Soil Mechanics Laboratory where soil studies and tests are carried out. In the Materials Testing Laboratory physical tests are made on engineering materials of construction to determine their properties. Page Tmr:'n.l,yf.six JU.. ' fb.. 5.-:E illqir-s 4,,'f7 ' -jf ff fm?

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.

Thc Curriculum in Civil Engineering is designed to afford a thorough training in the fundamental principles upon which thc practice of professional civil engineering is founded. lt is the aim of the department to prepare the graduates for technical positions in the promotion, design, construction, operation, and management of engineering projects. V The instruction is by lecture and practice, in class' rooms, laboratories, and field. The first two years in addition to covering the scientific and mathematical subjects common to all curricula, include the subfprofessional courses in surf veying and highway materials testing, while the last two years are devoted to those subjects of a more deiinitely prof fession nature. iuif Engineering Prof. J.
