This division emphasizes engineering, technical, vocational and trade courses. Degrees of Arts and Sciences are granted at the end of two years of training and a certificate of graduation upon completion of three years. The Opportunity School offers vocational and trade courses of various length, and a chance is given for a large choice in practical training. Auto-tractor, Diesel and Radio Engineering, Aeronautics, Carpentry, Cabinetmaking, Welding, Mechanics, Painting, Print- ing, Bookbinding and other fields of practical and technical training are offered. Cultural education and citizenship training go with all practical and technical courses. Second, the Liberal Arts Division. Polytechnic-Intermountain College, a four-year fully acredited college of of arts and sciences has, for the past two years, been conducted jointly by the Billings Polytechnic Institute and Inter- mountain Union College. The latter institution affiliated with the Institute in 1936, following the destruction of the buildings of that Christian college by earthquake in the fall of 1935. Standard college courses are offered which lead to the A. B. and B. S. degrees. Third, the Commercial School. The Institute conducts a commercial de- partment known as the Billings Business College which takes the high school graduate or junior college graduate for two or three years of definite commer- cial training in Accounting, Business Administration, Secretarial training, Stenotyping, Salesmanship, Public Service and Commercial Law. Practically all the graduates of these business courses find good positions in the com- mercial and industrial life of the region. Fourth, the Academy or Preparatory Department. The Institute ' s open door policy of ottering to any student the advantages of an education, whatever h s previous educational training may have been, requires instruction of the most elementary type in some cases. This department is also necessary for many high school graduates whose preparation has been faulty. Individual instruction is a feature of the academic department. Students are permitted to advance in their subjects as rapidly as they are able. Fifth, the Conservatory of Music. The Polytechnic from its inception has maintained a splendid school of music. Its main objective has been to give to all the students who previously had little or no musical advantages an oppor- tunity to develop a sincere appreciation of the finer things in music. Through chapel programs, church choirs, glee clubs, community singing, choruses-, orchestras and classes this emphasis on music is fostered. A secondary objec- tive of the music school is the discovery of the talented musician and the offer- ing to him or her a training for leadership in some musical line. ERXKST T.

Go Western. ' The staff for the 1939 Annual was ap- pointed by the faculty in March and work began immediately.

A section was added to the annual this year, that being the feature section portraying students who are leader- m the various points of student life. The aid of the faculty in publishing this annual is unestimable. Five faculty advisors lent a hand wherever needed and the business management was undertaken by the dean of the business college.
