lege, having joined its faculty in 1896. For twenty-four years he was Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and in 1926 was appointed associate dean of the College. Under his leadership, the College has continued to function with ever-increasing expansion, with the same efficiency and success as that ob- tained under his predecessor. He is a man of undoubted ability as an engi- neer both practical and theoretical. May he, too, like his forerunner, carry the College on to even greater achieve- ments in the future! f fl s it 2 - . ,ggi X1 k yi ze - 'l '-,Z No attempt has been made to acknowledge credit to all the members of the faculty and administrative staff who have contributed loyally and skillfully to the upbuilding of the College of Engineering. Still more impossible would be a list of the graduates in Engineer- ing who have distinguished themselves in the world and thus brought credit and pride to their alma mater. Such personal records and bonds of respect, however, are always present in the thoughts of all who have to do with the development of a College. It has been unnecessary to mention more than a few outstanding professors and benefactors W Vt' Wt W '4 altt tl 9 r !!. a un t who have woven their efforts and deeds into the far-reaching institution that is called the College of Engineering of New York University. Every person who has contributed a share, whether large or small, can be assured that a permanent institution such as this never forgetsg it is grateful and sends its thanks! CX?

Guggen- C heim sufficient funds for a School of m Aeronautics. His father, Daniel Gug- ,i genheim, presented Chancellor Brown ' ' i I with half a million dollars for the project. By 1950, the Aeronautics Building was Q erected, the equipment installed and the lr ' ET X entire affair was placed in the capable hands of Professor Alexander Klemin, whose long and varied experience in aero- 2,,., ! nautics made him an ideal choice for this responsible position. Under Professor Klemin's direction, the aeronautics courses have multiplied and become among the most popular in the College. This same year, 1930, saw the retirement of one of the College's most be- loved faculty members, Dean Charles Henry Snow. The kindly, understanding personality of this old-fashioned gentleman had endeared him to countless numbers of Engineering students, who realized that in him they had a friend as well as a university official. Dean Snow had seen the Heights College of Engineering grow under his supervision from a handful of students virtually fe- . lacking even the slightest necessary 'X Mk N equipment, to an institution of over a f , thousand registration, one of the high- f q est ranking engineering colleges in the X l United States in point both of equip- . it ' ment and educational standing. This X :Al progress has been mainly due to his Fl' own intense enthusiasm and unsellish devotion.
