When the School of Engineering was established in 1909 by the generous gifts of Mrs. Gustavus E. Swift and her son, Edward E. Swift, it was decided unot to build just another engineering school and thus duplicate the policy of providing an intensive four years of highly technical training. The educational ,policy adopted was to extend the period of training to a five year curriculum and to provide thereby, in the early years, ample oppor- tunity to build well upon a broad scientific and cultural foundation. Our policy is- let the student first be a man . Our school aims to train engineers forthe greatest average effective- ness in a lifetime rather than for the greatest effectiveness in the Hrst few years after graduation, In keeping with the above ideal unusual emphasis is placed upon general cultural studies, upon Mathematics, Physics, and upon the other sciences fundamental to engineering, and upon the economic and business principles which are broadly applicable to all forms of engineering. Intensive or high specialization is avoided. Mr. B, G. Lamme, for many years the chief engineer for the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, repeatedly stated- It is now being recognized by the ablest engineers that much specialization in the schools is not I an advantage to the student. The young engineer of today must obtain a broad knowledge ' X of the fundamentals of his chosen line of engineeringu. It is our constant endeavor to stress T 'l these scientific and engineering fundamentals. , 1' WILLIAM C.

In, a wistful way we of the faculty wonder just what you are carrying away from your years in Evanston. Certainly it is not, we hope, a bundle of facts and dogma, nor is it, we want to believe, quite the same portmanteau-full of prejudices and provincialisms which accompanied you when you arrived here, unsure and questioning, from your home town. It is likely that you, too, wonder just what the four years have brought. Those years may mean that you have shed some of your former prejudices and assurances, that you have been set free from assumptions and biases gained in the market-places. They may mean that you have been set free to use your minds in meeting new problems, to use your eyes in behold- l ing new beauties, and to command your will into new fields of accomplishment. If you have made the best of these four years at Northwestern, you should have that most valuable of all . . . . 2' 'N tools,-a disciplined mind. gg, To the extent to which you acquit yourselves creditably in life we find our own satis' fag faction and reward. The administration and the faculty of the College wish you well. wif: Q fffiri H 5 ' glrlAlj5h T ,jf ' FfagA.l': ADDISON HIBBARD wifi Ji ,i!lilj ll 1??'Z,.Ql1 iii! 751' . .. j iw' I 'Il' Campus Vzew Looking North From the Touer 0 Uruzersxcy Hall UNIVLRSITY ADNIINISTRATION rr 1' ig' i.

, iii Qi 1 Q.: View of Harris Hall To The Syllabus: a Graduate work is an essential part of a great university. It has two principal features which distinguish it from undergraduate study-first, the concentration of attention on a single Held, and second, the development of originality in research. Graduate study in America is rather recent in its development. A century ago there 'was no such thingy fifty years ago a start was being made in a few universitiesg now it prevails in all universities and many colleges. At Northwestern ?ts development has come mainly in the last twenty years. While there were less than a hundred graduate students in the Uni- versity twenty years ago, the number now registered in a single year is over a thousand. The number of Master's degrees granted annually exceeds the number of Bachelor's degrees con' ferred two decades ago. Graduate study is becoming a necessity for those who wish to be successful in educational work or in other fields of activity where superior education gives prestige. The extent to which this is recognized is indicated by the fact that a third ofthe fifteen hundred degrees granted by Northwestern last year were awarded on the completion of courses which extended beyond the conventional four year program required for a Bachelor's degree. . .... s Air View of Campus Tau-ard Lake UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION S -I tt el-I ' i.la.4QgeeAg.,QQffff QBf'if'ffff U ' S' -E ,. ..u....--. ,. v. ,ae ....
