Since no college student escapes having to deal with the Registrar’s Office more or less during the working out of the college course, it is very important that the man- agement of the Registrar’s office be of the character that will be sympathetic, helpful and firm in its treatment of the students. It is the purpose of this office, and all those connected with it, to give the student opportunity to make the best possible out of a college course. Our assistance is always at your command. 1 9 2 2 nTji»T?i£i3rM r[T;r » Thirty-three

MtT The Department of Education has for its purpose the develop- ment and extension of professional knowledge and professional spirit among those preparing for the teaching profession. In the new progressive teacher training institutions of today, from twenty to twenty-five per cent, of the student’s time is devoted to the study of subjects distinctly professional in their nature. The school catalogue outlines more than thirty courses in the various phases of Education to which the Department invites careful inspection by the prospective student. In addition to the theoretical courses offered, the institution furnishes a well equipped training school under the direction of expert supervisors and critic teachers in which practice teaching is offered in all types of schools; kindergarten, primary, intermediate, Junior and Senior High School. The training school also affords an excellent opportunity for practice, to supervisors and directors of special subjects and special school activities. 3 s §; = TTtTrnTrTnrnrrTTmiiiIiijijnijjiijjiii;iflijimrini! 19 2 2 ji ji!i»ifi!ijin■ i0t innnnmuinjiAfuuinjin i Thirty-two

During the present academic year this department has experienced a fair measure of growth, both in clientele and development of its work. The vocational and engineering courses connected with the department are the outgrowth of the type of work stressed by the teachers of the depart- ment. The chemistry in addition to the usual courses found in the old line colleges, has developed by the introduction of courses that apply directly to the work of the chemist in the numerous industries in which chemistry is the fundamental science employed. These applied courses together with the basic ones and the closely related work constitute our industrial chemical engineering group. The work in Geology and the closely allied subjects has developed into an industrial Mining Engineering group without losing sight of the importance or a knowledge of this subject in a general small college course. The work in Physics has developed from two ten weeks’ high school courses, widely separated in the curriculum fifteen years ago, into a full college course in this subject. The applied physics work and the closely related subjects have grown into the industrial electrical engineer- ing group. The historical development of chemistry, Geology and Physics is, that each grew out of the industries. Because of their origin and their fundamental importance to all the industries with very few exceptions, these subjects have blazed the way for industrial development and stimulat- ed the student to master the intricacies of the truths included in their scope.
