I I CCDLLEGE OE ENGINEERING HE year 1933 marks the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Col' lege of Engineering. This branch of the University was organized in 1893 as the Colorado School of Science and changed within the next two years to the Colorado School of Applied Sci' ence. The latter name was retained until 1906, when by action of the Board of Regents the present title, the College of Engineering of the Univerf sity of Colorado, was adopted. In the spring of 1893 the Legislature appropriated 35,000 for the construcf tion and equipment of an engineering building. The next year about twenty men registered in this department, and since that time the progress of the school in numbers and in reputation has been continuous, though in the early days especially there were many hardships and discouragements to be overcome. Over sixteen hundred graduates and some two thousand other students have been registered in this college over the fortyfyear period. We believe that the wisdom and foresight of its founders have been justified. HERBERT S. EVANS, Dean. i W 020 HERBERT S. EVANS NGINE 1, one of the three modern buildings comprising the College of Engineering, is well equipped with laboratories, lecture rooms, and offices, including the oflice of the Dean. Directly behind this building is a tall smokestack carrying on it a large E , which, following tradition, is lighted only on Engineers' Day. OD 'I O CIDLYI 'E'E6I'Ub'

It is one of the more recent additions to the campus, having been completed in 1921. The style of architecture is known as Italian Countryside, and this style is to be used in the conf struction of future campus build- ings. O THE College of Arts and Sciences has been assigned the task of giving instruction to students whose aims in seeking higher education are very di' verse. In the performance of this task it has two primary objectives: first, to educate its students, and second, to give training or to lay the foundation for future training in some specific type of human activity. Training in some particular field is necessary for human beings in modern lifeg but if the trained individual is to contribute his utmost to his profession and at the same time be a worthy member of society, it is becoming increasingly important that he have some conception of the ideals, the methods and the signincance to modern life of disciplines other than his own special field. Without this broader knowledge and the liberal attitude as well as the tolerance which should be' come the equipment of those who ex' plore various fields of knowledge, an inf dividual is apt neither to appreciate nor to be concerned about the consequences of his actions to his fellow human beings. The aim of the College of Arts and Sciences then is not only to train its members, but also to instill in them certain habits of mind and attitudes to' ward the realm of knowledge and their fellow human beings, JACOB VAN EK, Dean. wp'4,uw r I ' I 190 I I .- ,, Q I I f Er- ff 'Ii l .f-Ei W I W V5 if - Y .Yr L QA I 'T jf Y 1:1 , ,gi , li X I fn - fn I ,il--gf 1- ,,i- - 'f,3l,, , j' V- , :, I I U, vig Eva?
