THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING ' ■ „ v ,. ' v. ... DEAN F. C. BOLTON Since 1922, Dean F. C. Bolton has headed the School of Engineering at A. and M., and he has seen scores of young men emerge from their four year course in engineering to take up the duties of competent engineers in the state and nation. The purpose of the School is to prepare men to go out and work, not only in their special fields, but to give them a general knowledge of all types of engineering. Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Municipal and Sanitary Engineering, Textile Engineer¬ ing, Petroleum Production Engineering, and Drawing, are branches embraced by the School of Engineering. Dean Bolton, who has also been Dean of the College since 1932, may justly be proud of the admirable progress which has been made during his term at A. and M. Q W G W G G 9) 33 G

THE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE DEAN E. I. KYLE Dean E. J. Kyle, who has been Dean of the School of Agriculture since 1911, has seen develop under his supervision one of the largest Schools of Agriculture in the nation. As Agriculture outstrips all other occupations in Texas, it is laudable that Texas A. and M. is preparing leaders to go out and advance new ideas and inaugurate new systems in this great industry. It is the chief function of the School of Agriculture to give instruction to resident students— students who must eventually fill the positions of leadership in every field of agriculture in this state as well as the nation. In meeting this test, it is significant that the agricultural graduates of this Institution are now filling practically every agricultural position of importance in this state and occupying many of the important positions in the nation.” v77 9 ) $7
