Department of Military Art and Engineering All the way from analyzing and studying an important battle of the past in Military Art to breaking down the components of forces on trusses in Civil Engineer- ing, the Department of Military Art and Engineering kept us on our toes in trying to keep up with them both in understanding and memorizing the study mat- ter. Military Art, which is the basis of the vocation that we are endeavoring to prepare for, gave us an oppor- tunity to analyze the evolution and application of the principles of war. This gave us insight as to some of the possible problems and difficulties that we might run up against during our career in the military. Aus- terlitz, the World Wars, and Korea all became part of our lives in studying the changing concepts of war- fare, in analyzing the tactics and strategy employed by the commanders, and in realizing the possible trends that might be used in the future to overcome or destroy the enemy. On alternate days, Civil Engineering took over our interests, by trying to install an understanding of movement diagrams, trusses, and influence lines. Military Engineering balanced our artistic inclinations with scientific concepts in order to bring about the object of their department. Both of these subjects added up to an interesting and challenging course, for which we are grateful to the Department of Military Art and Engineering. This, gentleman, is dirt, its properties are . ■ L
