This course is operated in conjunction with various industries which offer undergradutes the opportunity of learning under trained chemical engineering staff members. Atomic development has brought increased importance to the depart- ment of engineering physics headed by William B. Pietenpol. Electronics, electricity and many other phases are taught by the department. The 1950's have seen establishment of two new branches under Thomas Hansen-architeo ture and architectural engineering. The archi- tectural degree is offered under a five-year curriculum consisting of both science and art. w. s. BEATTIE, head of mechanical engineer department. B. E.

Engineering The University of Colorado's College of Engineering ranks high nationally, having ex- panded constantly since its establishment in 1893. Top administrator Within the Engineering School is Dean Clarence L. Eckel, under whose direction are all the major branches. ln addition to eight degrees offered from these departments, all may be combined with business for a five- year combined degree. Civil engineering is perhaps the broadest field of engineering, including design and con- struction of roads, dams, buildings, and other structures. This department is headed by War- ren Raeder. W. C. DuVall directs the depart- ment of electrical engineering which possesses facilities and experimental equipment unexcelled in the Rocky Mountain region. One of the fastest- growing phases is the mechanical engineering de- partment Whose graduates are found Wherever OTTO W. BIRK, head F. S. BAUER leads the department of engine English staff. of drawing and machine design. Wheels turn and power is used. The departmental head is Wayne S. Beattie. With the advent of aviation has come aero- nautical engineering. In close cooperation with the Air Force ROTC program the utilization of much additional equipment is possible. This ex- panding school operates under Karl D. Wood. One of the younger branches is the chemical CLARENCE l. ECKEL, dean of the College of Engineering, began his career at the Uni- versity in 1919. He was made dean in 1943. CHARLES A. HUTCHINSON is top administrator in the department of applied mathematics.

The d i r e c t i 0 n of Norlin Library's 700,000 volumes, of the modern student health center and of the dormitories are great functions in themselves. Many are employed in the records and admissions offices to maintain records and handle correspondence amounting to 75,000 mailings yearly. Admin- istration of publications, b u s i n e s s operations and development of the physical plant are a part of the important non-academic duties. ADMINISTRATORS Eugene H.
