EDUCATION Throughout the years Evansville College has assumed a large part of the respon¬ sibility for training elementary and secondary teachers for the city and sur¬ rounding communities. In recent years an increasing number of graduates have secured teaching positions in other states. Because of the increasing enrollment in the schools there will be an even greater demand for good teachers. In order to prepare the best possible teachers the college program deals with the following areas: 1. A good general education that will be conducive to developing an all- around citizen. 2. An adequate knowledge of the sub¬ jects necessary for an effective job of teaching. 3. An acquaintance with the best meth¬ ods that have been found for pre¬ senting the subjects. 4. A wide experience in observing, participating and teaching in typi- MEMBERS OF the Education Department talk over plans for the future.

The members of the faculty who are responsible for training teachers are constantly alert to the new trends in edu¬ cation and in evaluating the work of the graduates, so as to make necessary changes for improving the teacher train¬ ing program at Evansville College. oy es 19

The Chemistry Department came into existence as a separate department in the Fall of 1921 with Dr. Alvin Strickler as Professor and Head. Many young men received their inspira¬ tion to study chemistry and their basic undergraduate courses here. The col¬ lege can point with pride to many in¬ dustries, colleges and universities wl ere our graduates, who with their ad¬ vanced degrees, are leading in adminis¬ tration, fundamental research and in¬ struction. A very important part of the work of the department has been to provide the chemical background necessary in Engi¬ neering, Medicine, Home Economics, and others. The departmental facilities have always been available to industry and it has contributed much to the early growth of several of Evansville’s lead¬ ing industries. The department has grown with the col¬ lege from a one-man to a five-man or¬ ganization but has never lost sight of the original aim to make chemistry avail¬ able and useful to the layman as well as to the scientist. CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY STUDENTS put their textbook knowledge to the “acid test” in chemistry lab. THREE MEMBERS of the Chemistry Department show a piece of equipment to interested student Lois Winkler.

ENGINEERING The Engineering Department aims • to train young men for technical managerial and executive careers in industry. Engi¬ neering degrees are given in four specialized fields; Industrial, Refriger¬ ation, Electronic, and Plastics. The first two are directly supervised by the Engineering Department, while the last two are under the joint supervision of the Engineering and Physics, and Chemistry Department, respectively. Many courses are common to all engineering students, but the more specialized electronic courses are given under the Physics De¬ partment, specialized plastics courses under the Chemistry Department. Facilities available in the department are; two drafting rooms, a large engi¬ neering shop, and a metallurgical lab¬ oratory. The engineering shop is divided into bays with machinery and apparatus for conducting experiments and practic¬ ing, machine tool work, materials test¬ ing, welding, heat treatment, refrigera¬ tion and air conditioning, study of fluid mechanics, heat engines, surveying, and precision measurement. The metallurgi¬ cal laboratory is equipped with machin¬ ery for metals testing, metallurgical polishing, etching, and microphotography. Vv 20
