The pioneer spirit of Mechanics Institute is evident in the present unique program in cooperative education for girls. Today young women may select one of three cooperative courses:—Food Administration, Retail Distribution, or Costume Art and Retailing. Training jobs are provided for students while in school. With ex- perience and maturity, the cooperative students advance to several ultimate goals designated as the work of dietitian in a hospital, manager in tea room, club or cafe- teria and buyer, stylist and costume artist in retail stores.

It is worth while to record in this volume some of the quality which went into the century of activity carried on under the Athenaeum.
