THE U W. NIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ILLIO OF 'I93 GEORGE A, BARR Zllevtiny of the Board, November 16, 1931 President, Board of fl'1'ustee.v TO THE STUDENTS OF ILLINOIS W., TAKE pleasure in extending to you the greetings of the members of the Board of Trustees. You ffrf Af are fortunate in havinff the rivilefre of obtaining an education in the health environment which I f j an P o o y , X ,4s. . . . . . . . lvzgjtgjegdb exists at the Unlverslty of Ill1no1s. I congratulate the class of 1932 for continuing the custom of publishing THE ILLIO, and giving through it an intimate glimpse of the students' side of the I7': lfJ University. Your publication, like the University, has made great progress since the first issue appeared thirty-seven years ago. I take a personal pride in THE ILLIO because, while a student at Illinois, I served as editor of the volume published by my class. In the years that have intervened, I have observed with satisfaction and pleasure the improvements that have been made year by year in the quality of this excellent book. It has kept step with the growth and improvement of the University itself. It is a credit to our Alma Mater. What our University has done in the past is history, and her sons and daughters are proud of her accom- plishments. Its growth and influence in the future rest largely on the work of those who are now students and those who shall pass through its halls in the years to come. You have an important responsibility. The Trustees extend to you their best wishes for that joy which comes from work well done, and invite your co-operation and interest both as students and later as alumni and citizens in the welfare and future President, Board of Trustees ' 1.

THE UNIVERSITY OFILLIN W 1 .I L if Pm 22 ic.. I Q36 DEAN MILO S. KI'I'I'0IIUM Mn.o Ssirrn Kizrcnum, '95, Dean. of the College of Engineer- ing. was born in Kezvanee, Illinois, on January 26, 1872. Since Hnishing his undergraduate work, he has been constantly con- nected with universities, except for two brief periods. ln 1897-99 he served as bridge and structural engineer for the Cillett-Herzog Manufacturing Company, and in 1903-04 was l l l w l ' w Entrance, 1z'n11inr'vrin!1 Building the war he was Assistant Director of the U. S. Government Explosives Plants in administrative charge of the construction of the Smokeless Powder Plant at Nitro, West Virginia. Be- fore assuming his present position in 1922, he served in similar capacities at the University of Colorado from 1905 to 1919, ami nt the University of Pennsylvania from 1919 to 1922. OIS ILLIO OF 'I931 with the American. Bridge Company in Kansas City. During THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HE history of the College of Engineering is as old as that of any of the Colleges in the University of Illinois, for in May, 1867, at its second meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted the report of its Committee on Courses of Study and Faculty which provided for Courses in Mechanical Science and Art, Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering and Metallurgy, and Architecture and Fine Arts. Instruction in Engineering began January 1, 1870, but announcements of the curricula in Engineering were not published until 1871-72, when four curricula were offered, namely: Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Architecture. Today the College of Engineering offers twelve curricula and has a splendidly equipped Experi- ment Station which does research work in all branches of the subject. The Engineering staff numbers 227, and the registration of students in October, 1931, was 1357, exclusive of 132 graduate students. Graduate work in engineering has developed markedly in the last few years. The several engineering departments have been strengthening their graduate courses as rapidly as their resources will permit, in an effort to stimulate interest in graduate work and research. 1 K ...lg ,vp .--4 ,-I-' ' - -an EIl!lI'7ll't'I'1Il!I Builuiinyr LIO OF NINETEENTHIRTY-TWO
