5 LP Jf E r p] jt P El ,Ig. Ft L S 7 Resume of Our Last Year [E feeling of regret that comes tn us with the realiza- tion that we, as seniors, are soon to tread the halls and walks no longer, is tempered by the knowledge of the health} and consistent progress mad ' 1 by the school during the past year. Xo phenomenal spurt has given the school undue anil sudden prominence, Inn a healthy growth and strengthening of all the depart- ments have conspired to place our Alma Mater in the st rani,, a position that conies well deserved each year An enormous increase in enrollment, innumerable additions to equip- nt and to the already existing facilities for instruction, have not failed leave their impress on the men leaving school ami the skeptical outside odd, with the result that no Purdue Alumnus need feel thai a word of tenuation is necessary in speaking of his school. Last spring ' is. decrees of Bachelor of Science were given to graduat- g seniors, of which forty-eight were from the College of Agriculture, urteen from the College of Chemical Engineering, sixty from the College Civil Eng ineering, forty-two from the College of Mechanical Engineer- s ' sixty-nine from the College of Electrical Engineering, fortj Horn tin College of Science and nine from the College of Pharmacy. In addition there was conferred advanced degrees as follows: Eleven in civil Engi- neering, five in Electrical Engineering, seven in Mechanical Engineering, one in Agriculture, and seven in Science. Special courses were a pr need success. The Short Course had the largest enrollment in its history, the Teacher ' s Summer Course had an attendance that was highly gratifying, the Engim i ring Conference was ol immense praetieal value to mad commissioners and the Winter Course continued in its popularitj The year of lull saw tl pening of Smith Hall, a valuable adjunct to our agricultural equipment; and also demonstrated quite clearly the general usefulness of the new Library, which, culturally speaking, is the most valuable building the school has ever received. The old Library with its tin 1 , reading room could not commence to accommodate the crowd that utilizes the new building. Actual construction on other proposed buildings has not yel started, hut it is certain that the coming year will witmss the erection ol a new Science Mall, and — who can tell? perhaps a Student Union Building. Much new equipment has I u acquired bj the several schools ate! ' i ' « J ) F U Ft P UJE U.N.IYgRSJT y v • ' Co-eds: Pearls cast before swine — Hi Wds
