Antoineii I Hii,i [ M v Driiu oj il ' nrnr t. As director (if the wiimen of this University — one thousand and one of tliem — 1 gladly here record my high commendation of them and their activities in this year of nineteen twenty-five and six. The Women ' s Self Government Association, through which the - speak for themselves better than I can speak for them, may be described in popular phrase as a going concern . The plan for freshman houses, a new development under their direction and mine, is meeting with success. As friend and counsellor of the girls, 1 take pleasure in recording for myself warm appreciation for their fine cooperation, and a very lively interest as to what next problem their young and alert and free minds and hearts will bring to me for solution. It is in the capacity of Chairman of the Board on Social Life that my duties most often bring me into contact with the men of the Uni ' ersity. This Hoard, having under its jurisdiction the combined social life of men and women, is a new phase of student manage- ment in our University. Though still in an experimen- tal stage, this Board deserves, I think, congratulations upon its personnel, its spirit, and its vigor. It is in such activities that 1 am happ ' to serve, repre- senting with pride the women of this Uni ersit . (yUi y -y - - DjL tj2, -J

This branch of the University %vas created by the Board of Regents in 1893 and since then its develop- ment has grown from one student to the present enroll- ment of 550. The college offers four year courses in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineer- ing leading to the degree of B.S. The equipment is first class in every particular and is rated Class A in the National Society of Engineers in which the Colo- rado Facult ' is well represented. Engineering has been defined as the art and science of directing the great sources of power in nature to the use and conveniences of man. An engineer must be not only a scientist but an artist and a man of broad cul- ture. The object of our College Engineering is to prepare the student to enter profession as an apprentice so that he may develop through experience into an engineer; to enable him to apply scientific principles to practical purposes, and to train him to be a good citizen.

Unturtunateh ' for the Dc:m of Alfii his duties are not any too well defined, therefore, they cannot all be covered in any short statement. By statute he is sup- posed to interest himself particularl - in the non-schol- astic afifairs of the men of the Universit) ' . Actually, he finds himself somewhat in the position of a coordina- tor between the students and the faculty as is indicated b his membership on the Committees on Readmissiun for men, the Freshmen Lectures Committee, the A.S. U.C. Committees on Freshmen interests, and Social Life. He also acts as a coordinator between students and the citizens of Boulder, and one of the consuming elements in his life is the adjustment of trivial difficul- ties such as arise after the annual Beta-Phi Delt egg fight when the shields borro ed from the garbage cans of the neighborhood fail to come back, or that come through misunderstandings between more or less obstin- ate freshmen and their gentle but firm landladies. When all is said the real job of the Uean of Men is to make the lives of the men more pleasant and more profitable while they are in the University, and he is very much interested in his job.
