Physics and Engineering .f . ICF 'Vi Most dynamic and expansive among all the varied departments is the Physics and Engineering Department, with more than one-fourth of all the male students at San Antonio College electing its program as their major field of concentration. It is also the department in which the mortality rate is highest, as only about 20 per cent of the aspirants actually become practicing physicists or engineers. The rigorous course of study outlined for physics and engineering majors includes chemistry, physics, advanced mathematics, and engineering, ln addition to the aura of the SCh0larly WhiCh they have always held, students majoring in these areas have, in recent years, attained a reputation vaguely patriotic, and the steady and growing demand for their services out-distances hy far the demand for graduates in any other one field of endeavor. asf'- .-.a Duke, Leo S.
