Evansville collegians quickly shortened the name of the Engineering-Science building to the E building, but the list of qualifications which place it among the finest of its kind in the country cannot be diminished. This three-story structure stands on the southeast cor- ner of the College campus. Completed in 1947, the E building is functionally modern with its streamlined styling and latest equipment for classrooms and labora- tories. The structure devoted to science is a large building; it houses twenty laboratories, twelve classrooms and six- teen offices. Yet, all of its 59,601 square feet of floor space are equipped with fluorescent lighting. Every student picks up required hours of science here. However, the faces most familiar to its halls and labora- tories belong to pre-meds, biology majors, nurses and engineering students. Name any kind of laboratory — zoology, chemistry, physics — it ' s here. Engineering students, when they ' re not co-oping at plants or factories, work in the two- story engineering workshop. After this appraising glance, it seems most appropriate that the E building should be the last word in modern construction, for here study the young people who, through science and technology, will build the future. part of the day . . . Under the co-op system, students are employed by various industries while earning their engineering de- grees. As the complications of modern finance and technology increase, numerical knowledge becomes more important, and the math department becomes more thickly popu- lated. A four-year collegiate program, training at Baptist Hos- pital and the use of facilities at community health centers combine to form the school of nursing.

Evening College registration Friday . . . doors close . . . Evening College closes, too . . . Lights, cars, people — what ' s going on at the College tonight? Must be some big affair! No, it ' s not a dance or play; the Evening College is in session. For sixteen years, Evansville College has been offering evening classes, and each year the number of persons attending and the variety of classes offered increase. Now it ' s possible to complete a degree in business or liberal arts there or to rack up credits for many other degrees. Besides these, eight certificate-pro- grams are offered at night, providing training in specialized fields such as account- ing, marketing, banking or management. Some of the ay-college faculty teach night classes. Others, teaching only in the evening division, are specialists in their fields of industry or art. Many types of students and ambitions are enrolled ... he may be a teacher, picking up a few more college credits, a craftsman who wants to become an executive or an i executive who wants to learn a craft or hobby. He may be someone who just wants to keep up with what ' s going on in the academic world today. These are the people who liven up the halls during the late hours and keep up the bustle in the business and administrative offices and the bookstore after day students have gone. All the college facilities are on tap for the night shift; even the Union stays up late, too. time and motion study . . . night school
