Having grown to be the largest undergraduate en- the Science School to malce it more closely resemble gineering school in the world, the University is now that ol a liberal arts college. The goal would be a seelcing to expand in other directions. Proposals broadly educated citizen rather than a trained under discussion call For revision of the curriculum of specialist, proficient in only one field. Putting blind trust in their slide rules, a class has the questionable opportunity to demonstrate their profound knowledge.

Professors Haxby fleltb and Whaley inspect the capacitor bank which can becharged to 8600volts. 12 5 l..
