.53 SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HE world is depending upon the mechanical engineer to keep its wheels forever turning as well as to furnish the machinery which will cause the wheels to produce. To keep pace with the startling changes in machines and processes is the difficult task of Professor G. A. Young, head of the School of Mechanical Engineering. He must also impart to the students under him, all of the latest development in numerous mechanical specialties. The university draws many of its student officers and activity executives from this school, which seems to impart to them a stability comparable to the machines that they study. Mechanical engineering forms the framework upon which the other branches build. HOFFMAN, J. D. BILI-IUBEI1, G. CATTELL, J. L. MARSHAL, W. B. s. M. E.g M. E. Womeffs Plays. Ed. B. A.g PI-I. n.

SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING S members of the most difficult and consequently the smallest school in the university, the chemical engineers have long considered themselves somewhat exclusive. Professor H. C. Peffer, head of the School of Chemical Engineering, has maintained that his men are intelligent far above the average, and, most disconcertingly, recent tests by the Department of Psychology have seemed to justify his attitude. For the future industrial growth of the world an infinite number of chemical processes will be necessary. The School of Chemical Engineering is produc- ing men who will be able to discover these methods and adapt them to our advantage. The chemical engineer will play a leading role in the advancement of civilization. CARR, R. H. ERIKSEN, E. L. TOPPING, A. N. EWING, D. D. B. s.g M. 5.5 PH. D. B. s. c. E. B. s. E. E. E. E.g M. E. Ag.

-I SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING HE School of Civil Engineering is greatly concerned with the production of executives as well as engineers. The civil engineer, who was once the only kind known, is always the first to enter a new territory or location. He must construct his buildings and bridges unaided by any previous work of man. Such work develops leadership and initiative and such men make good executives. Accordingly, Professor W. K. Hatt, head of the School of Civil Engineering, is attempting to instill the quality of self-reliance into his men, as well as the technical know- ledge. This training is giving his men unusual success in the industrial world. GAMBLE, M. E. Dukes, R. G. ESTEY, J. A. AITKENHEAD, W. B. 5.5 M. A. M. E. B. A.: M. A.g PH. D. B. s. M. E.g M. A. Insf.
