DEAN WM. Nl. COBLEIGH The Division of En- gineering is com- prised of the Electri cal, Civil, Chemical, Industrial, Architec- tural, and Mechani- cal deparments. The work offered in these departments is most thorough and author- itative. Engineering graduates from this school compete very successfully W i t h men of other schools in every branch of the engineering pro- fession. Dean Wil- liam Cobleigh has in his division a staff of able engineers, many' of whom have obtained national recognition in their fields. ln the death of Professor Ioseph A. Thaler in March, l938, Montana State lost one of its most learned and influential men. He was vitally interested in the progress of his students and his department, and was admired and loved by all on the campus whoknew and Worked with him.

The average citizen, and even a great many farm- ers, will tell you that there isn't much science to tarm- ing. The boys of the Cow College, however, believe firmly in the application of scientific principles to any department of agri- cultural activity, ir o m W' Rfi4ff0llW fit lf E739 milking cows to marketing the grain. About a third of our students call the Ag building home, and there they may be found, amid the milk cans and Wheat samples, learning the academic approach to the business of baby beef and bumper crops.

The Civil Engineers are the extroverts oi the engi- neering school. On sunny days they parade about the campus with their rods and transits before crowds of admiring coeds. The Chemical Engineers may be distinguished by the faint chemistry odor that accompanies them. Other engineers have only their slide rules to distinguish thern from the ordinary college men. Engineering is a highly specialized profession, and its suc- cessful students must stick pretty Weill to business. They do, howetver, find tirne to publish Tl-IE MON- TANA ENGINEER, a first class professional journal, which is further enhanc- ing the already somewhat enhanced reputation of the engineering school.
