Blue Fen The Department of Civil Engineering ue Department of Civil Engineering of the School of Engineering supplics the young man, wishing to make the profeszsion of Civil Engineering his life's work, with all the training essential to entering the field through either railroads, highways, structural steel, reinforced concrete, sEweraie, OFf wWater HIJH'I'F. Mathematics, Physics, and English make up the ground work upon which all f.lu,.inurms.' i based and these form the greater part ol thl. preparat ion an the first two YEears. buru.v:, g :ls l,sf hirse rll'q'cu'l.uul, ta the lll.lz !l'lL,!tlLHJ and s taught throvgh two and one-hall years, beginning with the elementary and finishing with the more ad- vanced work, The regular instruction in surveying is supplemented by two summer schools of two weeks each given at the end of the Freshman and Junior years.

At the end of the four years of pref aration, the graduate is gualified to cept a ;'ll.-a.m-.m where advancement o greater responsibility is assured if intelligent use is made of the training acquired, E. W. THOROUGHGOOD Head of Department, The Department of Mechanical Engineering I nE function of this department is to act as L seTVice organmzation 1o the various divisions of the Engineerng School. The theoretical courses offered served as a foundation for the practical applications 1 design of machines and structures w h came later in the stu- Jt'l'll-s' studies. 'H:lt lll-:u.n-..-l'.'

In addition to the college work the department co- aperates with industries and I:I.IIJIIin.'ipil.l oreanizations in studying problems which concern the qualities and characteristics of the materials they use.
