, 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 ....

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.
