|v Dedicated to a prooram of professional enoineer- ing education and enoineering research, the En- gineering School has a deep pride in its past ac- complishments and looks ahead with renewed con- fidence to meet the growing needs of this scientific and engineering era. The de e]oping industries of the State will be aided b our accelerated engineering research activi ties and b - the graduates of our reorganized en- gineering curricula. Engineering research will aid in the de elopment of new products, new proc- esses, and new and better applications of our raw materials. As a result of a stimulating program of engineering education in which is integrated courses dealing with the humanities, our graduates will ha e an opportunity to give intelligently their skill and knowledge for the public good and at the same time take their places in the foregound of practicing engineers. This year we have a tremendous enrollment in the Engineering School— greater than that in the entire college in 1942. Along with this heavy teaching load we shall maintain and carr forward our high level of instruction in the fields of engi- neering. We know our engineering graduates will be propcrlv prepared to advance in their profession and ser e their communities. J. H.

I Opportunities for leadership in the fields of agriculture and forestry abound in North Carolina. The School of Agriculture and Forestry offers the means whereby students can obtain the technical training necessary to make maximum use of these opportunities. Curricula have been developed to enable the student to choose his life ' s work either in the direction of a general agricultural background or in the more technical aspects of the profession. The need for technical workers and leaders is great and it will take large graduating classes for a num- ber of years in the future to give to North Carolina agriculture the trained men essential for its progress.

1 0r ■ ' mm ' ' SCHOOL OF TEXTILES DEPARTMENT HEADS Le to right: H. A. Rutherford, Textile Chemistry mid Dyeing; E. B. Glover, Yarn Manitfacturiug; T. R. Hart, Weaving and Designing; W. E. Shinn, Knitting. i 1 A new era has dawned upon the oldest industry in civilization. The continual development of natural and synthetic fibers throuoh research has oreatly widened the uses of textile products, and has increased almost boundlessly the horizon of textile knovvledoe. These developments pro ' ide in- creased opportunities for trained men and women: trained for research, production, manufacture, de- sign, and economics. Youno people with scientific and technical train- ing, initiative, and imagination have always been needed by the textile industry. The School of Textiles offers qualified individuals the opportunity to acquire the educational preparation necessar ' for success in filling this need. This training, based on a study of science, technology, management, and art, coupled with a strong, general college education, results in our modern, perceptive, research-minded textile graduate. The pubhc-spirited manufacturers of North Caro- lina recognize the ' alue of progressive textile educa- tion. Through the N. C. Textile Foundation thev ha e helped bring to the School as teachers out- standing experts in ' arious fields of textiles. In return, the industry profits by drawing for leader- ship upon a ]5()ol of scientifically trained personnel. M. E. Campbell, Dean
