w College of Engineering The College of Engineering, one of the earliest to be established in the United States, has had a most satisfactory growth since its reorganization in nine- teen hundred and twenty. The enroll- ment has steadily increased from one hundred and eight students in nineteen hundred and nineteen to two hunderd and seventy students in nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, an increase of one hun- dred and fifty per cent. In view of the fxjlicy of putting as much public work as possible under contract, there is an increased field in prospect for employment of engineers, and as has been hitherto the fact, the members of the gradu- ating class have positions assured even before the date of graduation. Recognition of the standing of the College of Engineering has been accorded during the year by Tau Beta Pi, the national honorary engineering fraternity, in granting a charter to the local Phi Mu Fraternity. Tau Beta Pi has fifty-eight chapters and ranks as the highest honorary engineering fraternity in the country. Installation ceremonies were held last November, when five active, twenty alumni and three faculty members were initiated. A. N. Johnson, B.S., D.Eng.

College of Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences embraces so great a variety of courses that is impossible, in a few words, to do other than sketch in a hazy outline of its function. Between Liberal Arts, so called originally because open only to Roman freemen, and Science, defined as knowl- edge reduced to law and embodied in system, there is a great mass of learning of which the component parts may be classed as Science or as Art according to one ' s point of view. This defining of the proper location of subject may well be left to others for it will not in any way affect the function of this College, since it is well defined and clear cut. It is two-fold in character. On the one hand the College must serve the needs of students of other Colleges in certain basic subjects. On the other hand the demand for basic subjects and for more advanced training, which will promote their vocational, avocational and cultural welfare. Thomas H.

College of Education The College of Educatoin was estab- lished in nineteen hundred and twenty. It was organized to meet the need of the following classes of students; under- graduate students preparing to teach the cultural and the vocational studies in the high schools; advanced students prepar- ing to become high school principals; those preparing for educational work in the trades or the industries; county agents, home demonstrators, and other extension workers; and lastly students majoring in other lines who desire courses in education cultural values. The instructional work of the College of Education is conducted by five functional divisions or departments: History and Principles of Education, Methods in Academic and Scientific Subjects, Agricultural Education, Home Economics Education, and In- dustrial Education. The degrees conferred upon students who have met the conditions prescribed for a degree in the College of Education are Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. W. S.
