S. F?L J rc n fe= - -■■■j Pi r- fe S . B . . J? rj Colleges of Engineering CHARLES HENRY BENJAMIN. T1SII. IT. Dean of the Colleges of Engineering, and director of tli-- Engineering [labora- tories. M.E., University of Maine. 1881; Doctor of Engineering, Case School of Applied Science, L908. Member of, — Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers; Society for the Promotion of Engineer- ing Education; Western Railway Club; .Master Car Builders ' Association ; Master Mi ehanics ' Association; American Soci- ety for the Promotion of Efficiency; Hon- orary Member, Engineering Society of Cleveland. The Colleges of Engineering have grown to such a proportion, as com- pared with a decade ago, that they now comprise about 70 per cent of the entire university. In the early days great stress was placed upon Agricul- ture, on account of the original Land Grant Act, but the necessity for a thorough training along technical lines was felt, and, as a result, we have the four Colleges of Engineering in our midst — Electrical. Mechanical, Civil and Chemical. The courses are so designed as to give the student the greatest pos- sible breadth of knowledge and experience, both theoretical and practical. We observe, therefore, that in the first year the courses are essentially alike, embodying a general field of academic work, with only a glimpse of the distinctive line el engineering designated by the course chosen. Each successive year acquires more and more an individual distinctiveness, until in the senior year the courses are practically unrelated except in a broad sense as conveyed by the descriptive term engineering. Purdue has exceptionally well-equipped laboratories and they have been accumulated by Ho execution of a steady and consistent programme of acquisition, keeping pace with the natural expansion of the various colleges. Today we may say that the engineering laboratories are without a peer. Research in every phase of engineering that may possibly be de- sired along electrical, mechanical, civil and chemical lines may be pursued with convenience, expediency and completeness. In fact, the line of equip- ment is so elaborate and plentiful that the bent of the effort is directed rather t the refinements thai lead to a higher degree of specialization than to the acquisition of more machinery. Engineering graduates are con- stantly in demand and there is always an opportunity for the man that is well equipped with a technical training in any of the branches of engineering. Miss Purdue, the hen with the great egg record.
