The Engineering department has been steadily advancing during the year and will be able to close the year with not a few hard earned records. A few words of explanation and history of engineering may help our fellow classmen and others to understand why we want to be engineers, and why the Polytechnic is putting forth its best efforts for those who wish to know more about engineering. Scarcely a hundred years ago the engineer was but little more than the mason or car- penter of today. He was always able to fill his retluirements and as the requirements have advanced, so has the engineer. until at the present time the world is so dependent upon this class of men that it cannot get along without tieir help for a single day, nor for even a second. Engineering. at one time, was divided into two classes, the military and the civil engin- eering. Today there are a large number of divisions, of which the civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, and illuminating engineering are the leading. These and other classes are di- vided and sub-divided. The man who wishes to be an engineer must decide on some phase of the work and spe- cialize in it. The rapid development along engineering lines is shown by the following facts: The first engineering society was established in 1818 and was known as the British institute of Civil Engineers. The nrst steam railway was put into operation in 1825 and the first electric lighting plant in 1881. is the dirty, greasy man whom a large number of us see when we hear the word en- gineer, a real engineer? He is, and he is the man to whom we all pay tribute. He is the man who brings our breakfast to usp he is the man who brings the treasures of all the world to our very door: he is the man we trust to take us over land and sea. ' There is another class of engineer who stands back of every occupation known to man and brings the social and national affairs intn one great amalgamation. He is the man who picks the way and leads us out into space or takes us through the immovable moun- tain: the man who takes nature's elements and shapes and uses them as he pleases: the man who captures nature's energy and uses it to do the Work of many men. Xo important building, road. ship, canal, or machine was ever begun before some engineer had been consulted, and before the completion of any such work. a large number of these men had put forth their best efforts to produce the best results. . -21...

Agricultural Department AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT AT ANNUAL BANQULT, I9ll The great purpose of the Polytechnic is to train students to become useful and happy citizens uf a great industrial empire. XX'ith this in minil, all courses have been so arranged that much time is spent in getting lsnowlerlge bv actual experience in doing things. As farm- ing must ever be the most important industry ot our country. much attention is given to the practical agricultural course. Like all other vocational courses of the lnstitute. there are no entrance reruiirements, and each stu.lent is given just the studies that will help him most and give him that knowledge and culture that will arlrl to his usefulness and happiness. Along with his studies, he is given the opportunity ol' learning much on the farm first- hand by observance and actual work. lle studies in boolis about the best methods of caring for farm crops an-'l animals. but out in the great labriratorv-eatlie farm-he works out these theories for himself. under the eve of a proctical and sriccesslul farmer. lt is not stating it too strongly lu say that the Polytechnic farm school can offer better advantages to farm boys than any other school in the countrv. This statement is not made because the farm has, at present. the best farm buildings. or the linest array of farm equip- ment of blooded stoelq' for it has not. lt does have one hunrlrerl and sixty acres of the best irrigated land in Montana. -Xnv farm crop that can be raised in the Northwest. can be raised successfully on the Polytechnic farm. The Polytechnic has one of the best orchards of bearing apple and plum trees in the Northwest. The famous orcharcls of XYashington and Oregon cannot surpass it in quality of fruit or in the yield per acre. Other agricultural college farms may surpass it in size, but this quarter section will vield larger returns and a greater varietv of crops than any section of land in the lfast or Middle West. The bov who enters the agricultural department of this lnstitute, sees everv varietv of farm crop growing under natural conditions, where actual demonstrations are being made with approved varieties and best methods. Tests are being made to see how much protit each acre can be forced to vielrl. lfarni books are kept by the boys themselves and they iind out what farm crops are niost pi-1 ilitable under given conditions. 4 , , -ggd
