M echanical engineering is that division of the scientific world which includes the generation, transmission, and utilization of mechanical power. These services are the products of research, design, and development. It is the object of the department to give the student a comprehensive training in the fundamentals of mechan- ical engineering which will be of practical use to him in almost any industry of his choosing. The lectures are supported by extensive test and design laboratory prac- tice. The field is obviously too extensive to cover thoroughly in all its divisions in four years. The school ' s curriculum for mechanical engineering students is therefore perhaps more fundamental and less specialized than other engi- neering curricula. This is, in many respects, greatly to the student ' s advantage, as it enables him to choose his option later in his college course or to change divisions later in his professional life to suit the trend of industrial progress and development.

Mining Engineering Department T HE Mining Engineering Department, as in years past, ranks right near the tap both in number of students and quality of in- struction The quality of instruction ranks with the best in the nation. The department ' s fame has been spread throughout the world by stu- dents in a variety of curricula. This includes; Mining Engineering, which is composed of Metal Mining, Coal Mining, and Mining Eco- nomics; Mining Geology, which consists of Metal Mining and Petroleum; and Petroleum Engineering, The completion of the remodeling and build- ing program this past fall, has greatly increased the efficiency of the department. This program includes: building a new wing between the old Mechanical Hall and the old Mining Building and remodeling the Mechanical Hall into the new Mining Department, Also the old Mining Building has been reconverted into the Petrol- eum Engineering Department, A full-scale ex- perimental mine aids classroom work.
