ALMA MATER O, Alma Mater, day by day We strive to hold thine honor bright And pledge anew our loyalty, Defend thy name with all our might. We rise in gratitude to thee For sweet the message thou hast taught, A message crowned with love and pow'r, Resplendent through thy service wrought. The noble founders heard the cry That surges o'er the world today, Their dauntless spirit sends us forth, That we their precepts may obey.

Courses. A co-operative Retail Distribution Course was next started. The rapid success of these courses brought about revisions in the Industrial Chemical Course in 1926, the Food Administration Courses in 1928, and the Construction Supervision and Archi- tectural Drafting Course in the same year. In 1930 a Cou rse in Photographic Technology became a part of the Institute s newest type of education. In general the courses are based on a monthly plan. Two students assigned to one position alter- nate one month in school with one at work. The Construction Supervision and Architectural Drafting Cou rse differs in that the students entering in the Fall receive a full course of instruction in school until April, when they are placed at work on regular building projects until the next November. The wages received by the co-operative students enable them to pay a fair share of their expenses at School. 1 hese wages are increased with the value of the wage earner and with the proficiency he displays in his work. Results prove that the Co-operative Courses are producing efficiently trained men and women who are already fitted for their places in the industrial world. The great adventure has brought us a long way!
