■»§! i SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING What is an engineer? He is a man who is applying science ... a man who has the understanding and appreciation for the physical laws of the universe . . . and is using his knowledge to raise the standards of liv¬ ing for mankind. Symbolic of the modern engineer are the electronic devices he uses to design more accurately, to test to a more infinite degree, to build with greater strength and reliability the multitude of projects— from bridges to space capsules—he is called upon to create. The School of Engineering at Texas A M College helps mold such men. But it takes talent to create talent and that is role of a dedicated faculty so vital in teaching young men to become engi¬ neers. Such a person is Professor Charles W. Crawford who for 43 years has contri¬ buted his talents to helping thousands of young men on their road to becoming en¬ gineers. A member of the A M College of Texas Class of 1919, he joined the faculty that fall, later earned an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering, and was named head of the Mechanical En¬ gineering department in 1929. In 1957 he became Associate Dean of Engineer¬ ing. This year he retires from that post, but will remain on campus to teach mechanics—the course where some thou¬ sands of Texas A M engineers have come to know Prof Crawford. This year the School of Engineering continued to grow in what is becoming known as the Space Age. It was a spon¬ sor of the International Conference on Activation Analysis. It put into operation the multi-million dollar Nuclear Science Center. This fall the aeronautical engineer¬ ing department will officially become the Department of Aerospace Engineering. Much progress has also been seen in the fields of chemical, civil, electrical, geological, mechanical, nuclear, and pe¬ troleum engineering, and in geology and geophysics, architecture, industrial educa¬ tion and industrial engineering. Within all its areas, the Texas A M School of Engi¬ neering will continue to lead in the new era of technology that is our nation ' s destiny. wmmm

SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Through its many accomplishments, Texas A AA ' s School of Veterinary Medicine has earned the reputation of being one of the best schools of veterinary medicine in the nation. Providing complete training in all phases of animal pathology, care and surgery, the school offers the student a B.S. degree in Animal Science in four years or the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree after completion of a six-year program. Various departments within the school are: Departments of Veterinary Pathology, Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Anatomy, Veterinary Microbiology, Veterinary Parasitology, Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology, and Veterinary Public Health. The Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery operates the recently completed Veterinary Hospital and Ambulatory Clinic. Problems in theory are extensively supplemented with practical application. Consequently, the A M Veterinary graduate is well qualified to deal with prob¬ lems of disease and disease prevention in domestic farm animals, poultry, pet animals, zoo animals, fur-bearing animals, and wildlife of all kinds. Graduates are qualified to combat transmission of disease between man and the lower ani¬ mals. Instruction and training are given in meat and hygiene. Texas A M ' s School Of Veterinary Medicine is accredited by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association and by the United States Department of Agriculture. 23
