XVALTIEK W.

It is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees to ad- minister the affairs of the University so as to advance the welfare and reputation of the institution in every Way pos- sible. In this task, the Board needs the cooperation and support of the public, the alumni, the faculty and staff, and the entire student body. Whatever progress the Uni- versity makes or whatever good will it develops is due to a great extent to the efforts of young men and Women like yourselves, now members of the student body, who become alumni of the future. I am sure that you will not accept your part of the responsibility for the continued growth and development of our Alma Mater lightly. Prerirlrrll, Bonn! uf Trnxh'rr A R N I N G 8: L A B O R Pm-' A:

THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DEAN M1al.vlN I.. IiNr:l.n ,vs DEAN MliLv1N L. ENGER, newly appointed head of the College of Engineering, was born in Decorah, Iowa, in 1884. After studying at the University of Minnesota for a time, he came to the University of Illinois to finish his undergraduate work. On the retirement of Prof. A. N. Talbot he became head of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Hcchanics in 1929. Dean Enger has received three degrees from the University, the Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in 1906, the professional degree of Civil Engineering in 1911, and the Master of Science degree in 1919. He has been on the University faculty since 1907. At present he is a member of the council of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and of a number of engineering societies and fraternities, including Tau Beta Pi and Chi Epsilon. The history of the College of Engineering is as old as that of any of the Colleges in the Uni- versity, for in May 1867, at its second meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted the report of the Committee on Courses of Study and Faculty which provided for the establishment of courses in Mechanical Science and Art, Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering and Metallurgy, and Archi- tecture 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 thirteen curricula and has a splendidly equipped Ex- periment Station which does research work in all branches of engineering. Graduate Work in engi- neering has been increasing markedly in the last few years, and the several engineering departments are developing their graduate courses as rapidly as their resources will permit. The Work of the Engineering Experiment Station, which dates from 1903, is probably unequaled anywhere in the United States. The results of the Station's many noteworthy investigations have been published to date in 268 Bulletins and 23 circulars. Page 24 A R N I N G 84 L A B O R
