FACULTY EVENING SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OFFICERS JOHN A. RANDALL HERMAN MARTIN BYRON G. CULVER. CLIFFORD M. ULP . MAY D. BENEDICT . ALFRED A. JOHNS . .............................President . Director Evening School Associate Director Evening School , Director School of Applied Art Director School of Home Economics Director School of Industrial Arts The Mechanics Institute Evening School dates back to the beginning of the Institute itself, November, 1885. The courses first offered included mechanical, architectural, and freehand drawing, mathematics and natural philosophy. The enrollment for the first year was about six hundred and a gradual growth in numbers has brought the attendance to..more than fifteen hundred students at the present time. The subjects offered in the Evening School parallel to a degree those given in the day school, and a total of more than sixty separate classes are now meeting for evening school work. The Evening School courses are under three large headings, viz., Industrial Art, Applied Art .and Home Economics. The first of these includes ’aviation, steam engineering, mechanics, surveying, radio and photography. The Applied Art is com- posed of life drawing, sign painting, metal work and modeling. The Home Economics course trains individuals for cafeteria and tea-room management in the field of food administration, and for commercial dressmaking and costume design in the field of dress- making. The school year, from September to June, is divided into three terms and the average tuition is about ten dollars a term for attendance two evenings a week. A number of diploma courses are offered which require satisfactory completion of groups of subjects. Attendance for their completion usually requires two evenings a week, nine months a year for five years. About twenty-five percent of the students are women. The men, most of whom come from the industries, usually pursue courses that bear directly on their daily work. The courses that are the most popular subjects such as time study, steel treating, structural drafting and building estimating are offered. The amount of previous preparation varies from a common school education to college graduation, and the age of students varies from sixteen to sixty. Thus, the Evening Courses of Mechanics Institute afford an opportunity well worth taking. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 32
