Page 16 ElNVAKll E. ll.x1mi1:'1'T Presirlenf, Board of Trilsfees Message to the Class of 1934: E frequently speak of College or University graduates as 4'College 'trainedl 77 men and women. l hope the members of this Class may rather be referred to asneducatedwmeri and women. Trained animals do their stunts without knowing the reason why. Nevertheless, they do them well but cannot go beyond their training to devise new stunts. Many students pass their examinations because they have been Htrainedw and not because they have been educated or taught to reason or think for themselves. The great need today is for educated men and women who have imagination or initiative, and who are able to create something new and original for the benefit of mankind. Test the value of the past four years you have spent at the University by asking yourself the question whether you place yourself in the class of the Htrainedi' or 'feducatedw individual. You are now entering upon a course of study in the great University of Experience, and your success or failure in life will depend largely upon whether you think in terms of 'aeducationn or Htrainingw.

The College of Engineering DUCATION in Engineering was ofliciallv recognized by the University Board of Trusteesgat its second meeting in May, 1367. when it pro- vided for the establishment of courses in Mechanical Science and Art. Civil Engineering, lVlining Engineering and Metallurgy, and Architecture and Eine Artsf, Actual instruction in Engineering began ,lanuary 1, 1870, hut announcements of the curricula in Engineering were not published until 1871-72, when four curricula were offered, namely, liflechanical En- gineering, Civil Engineering, lVlining Engineering, and Architecture. To- day thirteen curricula in the various fields of engineering are offered Within the College of Engineering itself, and several more are administered in other Colleges of the University. ln 1903 the Engineering Experiment Station, the first in the United States, was established, and 279 bulletins and circulars have been issued to date. A large number of cooperative research projects have been carried on in recent years for industries in the State of lllinois and for national engineering societies and associations interested in the advancement of knowledge in their various fields.

Following his grad- uation he went to San Francisco, California, to teach industrial chemistry in the California School of 'Nlechanic Nrts. and after the earth- quake and fire, returned to his hirthplace as Assistant in Nlechanical Engineering at George Wlashington lfniversity. ln 1913 he came to the University of illinois to take charge of courses and research in heating and ventilation. He has been Head of the Department of Kle- chanical Engineering since 1920. From N09 to 1913 he was first assistant and later sanitary and heating engineer for the lfnited States Quartermaster Corps in charge -.1-i iii? of the heating and ventilation of all United ' r . . . . , Y' A The work of the Station has had a marked effect in stimulating formal States Army posts.
