HIS year the Engineering department of the University will complete the first quarter century of its existence. It had its beginning in 1907 when the first class of embryo Engineers began their work in the upper storeys and the basement of the old science building on Broadway. Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering were separated into two courses in 1909 when the first group of students reached the third year. The classes were very small in those days, the Civil Engineering group con- sisting of eight or nine men and the Electrical Engineering class beginning work in October, 1910, was so small that the gold medallist was foot of the class! The department of Architecture was inaugur- ated at the University in 1913 and became a department in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture in 1922. The period since the war has seen the num- ber of students in attendance increase by leaps and bounds, and from an attendance of 95 has increased to 384, enrolled for the work of the present session. It is a matter of great satisfaction to the Faculty to see our graduates reaching positions of greater and greater responsibility as the years go by, and to find that they are measuring up to their responsibilities in a manner that does credit not only to themselves, but also to the University which they claim with affection and respect as their Alma Mater.

DO not think that any grad- uating class has left the University with a prospect of such difficulty in the matter of obtaining employment as the class of 1932 may have to face. To have spent five years in training for a special kind of work and then at the moment of completing one's train- ing, to be faced with a world that has little or no interest in one's special qualifications calls for a high degree of courage, of faith, and of determination. You who graduate this year may not be able to secure at once the particular kind of work that you have set your heart upon, but whatever you find to do, do it with a purpose, do it with the feeling that no work is too trivial to be done thoroughly and well. Acquire the habit of turning Q-UI nothing but the best of which you are capable, and the habit will remain with you when your work assumes greater importance. Finally, remem- ber always that enforced periods of leisure may be turned to useful account if they be not frittered away in mere idleness. E. P. FETHERSTONHAUGH, Dean
