Because of the depression, industry has failed for three years to absorb the current graduates of American engineering schools. When business revives, these graduates as well as those from later classes will have to compete for employment with many engineers who have been laid off by industry and who will be considered candidates for their former positions. It is obvious, therefore, that promise of unusual future worth as demonstrated by past performance in school and factory will be the criterion for most appointments in the next few years. With this condition in mind, it is the determined policy of the faculty and administration of Rose to continue the high standards always associated with the college and to avoid any relaxation of requirements as a concession to reduced enroll- ment. The Rose degree means just as much in depression as in prosperity and is conferred only when a candidate has successfully met standards as high as those of any engineering school in the country. We believe that this policy will ensure favorable consideration of our graduates and more desirable opportunities for employment. We shall keep faith with our students and with the engineering profession. The experiences of recent months have emphasized, as never before, the im- portance of breadth of training in the non-technical subjects for those who are to hold positions of responsibility in American industrial life. The revised curricula at Rose meet these conditions. Without sacrificing important scientific and technical subjects the courses of study now include English, economics, accounting and business law as well as history, psychology and foreign language in greater proportion than ever before. Rose begins its second half-century with a clear understanding of the new requirements of the engineering profession and with its programs planned to meet these requirements. The 1933 Pa... i MODULUS
