Applying to last fall’s day school entrants, we have lengthened our engineering courses by the addition of a third year with proportionate amplification of subject content, as demanded by the modern development of industry, technology and science, and by the national trend toward a more liberal edu- cation. Our continuing purpose here is to make available a thorough, higher technical education in the shortest time con- sistently possible, providing for the more serious student whose need is for an altogether adequate training and to whom economy of time and money is an important consideration. These newly adopted three-year courses retain the general character and proven efficacy of their long existent two-year predecessors, whose several thousand living alumni are achieving notably successful careers, aided by the training and inspiration they received at Pratt Institute. To the more than two hundred worthy members of the graduation class of 1934, we now turn in confident expectation of accomplish- ments that will sustain and add to the proud record of the School and its graduates of past years.
