Informative lectures in their special fields are given by these men at the various high schools of the Metropolitan area and nearby communities on subjects with which they are familiar. Prospective students are aided in their choice of courses and advised as to vocation by the Stu- dent Counsel Bureau. Through the medium of interviews and personal correspondence, the Bu- reau informs the applicant of the curricula offered by the University and tries to establish the course best suited to the individual. On occasion coun- sellors contact the high schools throughout the state. About six thousand persons are reached during the year. The bureau is directed by Paul P. Harbrecht, acting head of the department of Physics. Several changes were made in the various col- leges of the University during the past year. These changes concerned both the administration and the curricula of the colleges. Prominent changes were made in the require- ments and curricula of the College of Engineering during the past year. The changes were designed to better coordinate courses in departments of the a Lingeman Potts college, and to conform the curricula to the needs and advantages of the Detroit industrial area. The total credit hour requirement for gradua- tion from the college was increased to 144-5. A minimum of twelve hours of English was estab- lished. Basic Physics courses were restricted to the sophomore year, and the number of hours re- quired lowered to ten, while advanced physics courses were included in the Mechanical Engi- neering curriculum. Two semesters of accounting were set as a requirement, and industrial history was changed from the sophomore to the junior schedule. An assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences was appointed at the beginning of the school year when Rev. John J. Benson, S.J., was named aide to Rev. John F. Quinn, Dean. The tendency noted in the Arts and Sciences Colleges to return to the generally developing education of the liberal arts was supplemented during the year by the introduction of a course on the appreciation of the plastic arts, taught by Aloysius G. Weimer, who was added to the fac- ulty during the summer. Greek was reintroduced (Continued on page 260) Left to right: Mr. Johnston, Co-ordinator; Miss Donohue, Registrar; Miss Berning, Assistant Librarian. [ 24]
