mii Umbury A. Hitchcoc COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HE College of Engineering is dedicated to I the work of aiding its students to become engineers and valuable members of so- ciety. As evidence of its service the College pre- sents the successes of its 3400 graduates and con- spicuous achievement among more than 6000 who were enrolled but did not complete the require- ments for degrees. It is our desire to serve the best interests of all those who enter the College. Engineering is one of the three oldest colleges at Ohio State. It has had a uniformly healthy growth, and has become one of the largest and best engineering schools in the country. The eight different degrees offered cover the basic fields of engineering, and the Engineering E.xperiment Sta- tion offers excellent opportunities for advanced work in many fields of research. [26}

Dean George F. Arfi.s COLLEGE OF EDUCATION f ' I ' he primary function of the College of I Education, as originally conceived, was to - prepare teachers for the public school service of the State. The rapid growth of the College, now third in si::e in the country, is in- dicative of the extent to which the University has discharged its obligation. In addition to its undergraduate service, the University by reason of its foremost educational position, is under special obligation to assume re- sponsibility for the development of graduate work. No other institution within the State is at present under equal obligation. Progress in this direction has been unusually gratifying and it is not unlikely that in the near future the Univer- sity may tind it necessary to reduce its teacher- training program for undergraduates in the in- terest of advanced graduates. This reduction can best be avoided by a marked increase in liberality on the part of the State. [25]

Dean Alonzo Tuttle . ■ t COLLEGE OF LAW 7 ' - function of the College of Law is primarily to I prepare men to practice law. There is no great V- demand for an increasingly larger and larger num- ber of practicing lawyers, but there is a great demand for a constantly increasing number of men coming to the Bar who are thoroughly grounded in the knowledge of the law. The purpose of this Law School is, therefore, not to see how many men it can graduate but to see to it that the men who come to it as students go out with high ideals of service and with trained minds. It is in this way that the College of Law can do its greatest service to the State. That i t has done so in the past and is doing so today is evidenced by the very large number of successful law- yers whom it has turned out, and who are today occupy- ing positions of responsibility in the various communities. There is another field of service opening up in the Col- lege of Law. That is the field of research and investigation. To the law schools of the future the country will look for the advancement of the science and the shaping of the law to its proper ends. Already many of the larger schook are entering this field and into this field the College of Law of this University must also go. Our school fully expects to meet this challenge and take advantage of this opportunity. [27]
