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.

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.

M. Marie Mount, M.A. Dean College of Home Economics The College of Home Economics was cstjblislied in 1919. Up ro that time, with the exception of summer course, home economics had not been a part of the regular University curriculum. It was organized for those women students wishing to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics work. It is the aim of this college to pre- pare young women for worth while liv- ing, either as home-makers, or as wage- earners. There are three administrative departments within the college, namely: Foods and Nutrition, Textiles, Clothing and Art, Home and Institutional Management. Each of these departments offers a well- planned curriculum, in addition to a general home economics curriculum, arranged for those who do not care to specialize. A student may obtain a teacher ' s diploma when she has completed the required subjects in the College of Education. The College of Home Economics has recently moved into a separate building, attractively decorated and remodelled, to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment. The college maintains a home management house, where senior home economics students live for a number of weeks, in family groups, to give practical experience in managing a home.
