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

|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.

im n The Graduate Division is the State Colieoe braneh of the Graduate School of the consoHdated Universitv of North Carolina. Its function is to provide graduate training in the sciences and tech- nologies of agriculture, engineering, textiles, and ocational teacher training. The urgent need for graduate instruction leading to research in these fields is recognized by the leaders in the occupations which depend upon the development of these branches of industrv. Moreover, unless graduate studv and research in the technological and related fields are pro ided, the institutions of higher learn- ing in this section of the country will look elsewhere for trained men, whereas there should be a fair balance of such men from every section of the country. Graduate students have the ad antages offered bv the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Engi- neering Experiment Station, and the Research Laboratories of the Textile School, in addition to the regular laboratories used for instruction. lndi iduallv developed courses of study lead to the decrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosoph . In addition State College offers a Professional degree to its graduates who ha e per- formed outstanding professional service. Z. P. Metcalf, Dean GRRDURTE Division GRADUATE COUNCIL Left to n ;(: L.
