ADMINISTRATION The School Dean F. C. Bolton of Engineering The School of Engineering prepares men for specialized technical work. It offers four-year courses in Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Production Engineering, Textile Engineering, and a two-year course in Cotton Marketing and Classing. The engineering stu- . dent’s work is divided into two important phases, theory and practice. It has been often said that A M men have been unusually well trained in practice as well as theory. The fine laboratory equipment of the School and its excel¬ lent faculty have been instrumental in securing this reputation. The School of Engineering is continually improving under the capable administration of its Dean, F. C. Bolton, who is also Dean of the College. Dean Bolton has been a member of the A M faculty since 1909, and has been Dean of the School of Engineering since 1922. He is nationally known in the field of engineering education and is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the Overhead Lines Committee of the Southwest Geographic Division of the National Electric Light Association, and Vice Chairman of the Texas Committee on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture. Dean Bolton, in addition to his regular duties, is very active in student affairs, being a member of the Student Publication Board and the Student Welfare Committee.

ADMINISTRATION The School of - Vocational Teaching Dean C. H. Winkler The School of Vocational Teaching aims to prepare men for the teaching profession. It offers four-year courses in Agricultural Education, Industrial Education, Industrial Arts Education, and Rural Education. These courses enable teachers to qualify under the Federal Vocational Education Act to teach industrial arts or manual training, to become supervisors and directors for the trade and industrial schools, and to qualify as high school principals and superintendents. It is interesting to note that most of the men who are engaged in teaching vocational agricul¬ ture and in doing extension work in Texas are graduates of the A M School of Vocational Teaching. Many students of the school continue their training through graduate work, thus preparing themselves to occupy leading positions in the field of education. In order to assist graduates in securing suitable teaching positions, and to assist boards of education and other officials in securing teachers, the School of Vocational Teaching conducts a teachers’ appointment service. Dean Charles H. Winkler, who is Dean of the School, is also Director of the Summer Session and administers the duties assigned to him in a highly commendable manner. Practice Teaching Page 24
