Douglas Smuu Andkrson, B.E., M.E. Dean of the College of Engineer ' iiiij rhe College oi Engineering The College of Engineering offers broad courses of professional training in the fundamental principles underlying the various branches of Engineering and Architec- ture. The formulation of these courses is the outgrowth of the best thought of edu- cators and the engineering profession and of our own experience during the last two decades. In harmony with this principle, a committee is formulating changes in the courses of the schools to give a broader training to those desiring to enter into the manage- ment of enterprises. The technical studies in the College of Engineering are contained in four divisions called schools. The schools are divided into departments. A department includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechan- ical and Electrical Engineering; Civil Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Arichi- tecture. No candidate for a degree is allowed to restrict himself to the narrow training which might be imparted by any one school. Work in the technical departments of one of the above schools is made the backbone or principal part of a four years ' course, and supplemental work is required in other schools in the college. On the successful completion of a four years ' course one of the following degrees is granted depending upon the course followed : Bachelor of Engineering in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Course. Bachelor of Engineering in the Civil Engineering Course. Bachelor of Engineering in the Chemical Engineering Course. Bachelor of Architecture.

Edward A. Bechtel, A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Dca7i of the College of Arts and Sciences College pi Arts and Sciences The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, with an enrollment of some 400 stu- dents, a faculty of about 50 members, and twentj ' -five separate departments, is the largest subdivision of the University. Besides the very wide opportunity for thorough training in the humanities and sciences both for graduate students and undergraduates, it includes studies in chemistry, philosophy and theology. Under the present depart- mental organization of the University, this college provides instruction needed for the students registered in the other colleges of the University in subjects like English, modern languages, chemistry, and mathematics. More than one-half of the total energy devoted to teaching by the staff of the College of Arts and Sciences is spent upon students enrolled in other colleges.

Morton Arnold Aldrich, B.A., Ph.D. Dean of lite College of Commeree and Business A dministration The College oi Commerce The purpose of this college has been since its establishment in 19 14, to offer sub- stantial professional training preparatory to a business career. The instruction offered is planned for students sufficiently able and mature to do work of university grade, and no student is received unless prepared to do work of this character. It is essential also to the permanent success of the college that its students approach their work in an earnest professional spirit. Students failing to do so may expect to be asked to withdraw. In order to make the courses available for business men and women, classes are also held at night from 8 to 9:45. These classes meet in the Association of Commerce building, each course being held one night in each week. By thus devoting only one night, a student may take any one of the night courses offered. m m
