ty members of Yale University, was univer- sally acclaimed the outstanding textbook of the year. Poetry of Dr. House was published and favorably reviewed in a recent anthology entitled The Poets of Maryland. In the field of history, Dr. Strakhovsky pro- duced a masterful book on the Origins of American Intervention in North Russia ; while Dr. Crothers published the History of the Acadians in South Carolina. ' ' Economics had a busy year with the contribution of Dr. Gruchy ' s book on Supervision and Control of Virginia State Banks, sharing first honors with numerous articles written by Dr. Stevens for leading periodicals in the United States, China, and India. Dr. Stevens, new head of the Economics Department, brings to Mary- land a world-wide reputation gained in America and the Orient. In China he served as technical advisor to the Central Govern- ment in Nanking. The Department of Political Sciences was active with works by Dr. Howard, Dr. Stein- meyer, and Dr. Bone attracting considerable attention. Dr. Broughton ' s Chemistry Staff was well represented in the world of science. Fifteen scientific papers and a United States patent bear witness to its industry in research. Dr. Drake, Dr. Duvall, and Dr. Welsh figured largely in three publications of the organic chemistry division during the past year; while in physical chemistry, papers were Landmark of the past, Morrill Hall The Chemistry Building airs prepared by Dr. Nelson, Dr. Haring, Dr. Hart, and Dr. White. The patent on the sep- aration of beryllium from aluminum was granted to Dr. White and Dr. Parent, experi- menting m the Inorganic Division of Chem- istry. The Department of Speech gained head- lines throughout the nation by inaugurating the first radio school of its kind in the country in conjunction with the Columbia Broadcast- ing System. Through its facilities students are trained for careers in the field of radio. Other departments, notably Modern Lan- guage and Psychology, have been active. Dr. Falls and Dr. Prahl, of the modern lan- guage division, have contributed to various programs and reviews. The Department of Classical Language has been revived under Dr. Highby. Psychology has had a thorough renovation in its curriculum and faculty per- sonnel as this department is now given over to the study of the applied phases of psy- chology. The new chairman is Dr. A. G. Jenkins, formerly of Cornell University and author of Psychology in Business and In- dustry. Both Dr. Jenkins and his co-workers of the psychology staff have presented papers during the past year at psychology meetings or conferences and have published articles in contemporary scientific journals.

The year 1937-38 has been one of change for the College of Arts and Sciences, both in faculty and administration. Dr. L. B. Broughton, head of the Chemistry Depart- ment, now occupies the suite at the end of the hall marked, Office of the Dean, while new department heads, along with additional professors and instructors, have been added to the college personnel. Faculty members, both old and new, have had a busy and successful year. From their pens have come some of the best text ma- terial and literature in the country. Books and articles of all varieties and descriptions have been published. In the realm of pure science the outstanding contribution was Dr. Dantzig ' s Aspects of Science, which drew warm praise from critics including the emi- nent Dr. Einstein. The English department took high honors in the Arts, as to general excellence of work produced.

It is interesting to note the volume and, what is more important, the quaUty of the work turned out by the faculty members of the Arts and Sciences College. Rarely have Maryland men so distinguished themselves and the University. Dean S. S. Steinberg COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Dean — S. S. Steinberg, B.E., C.E. Professors — Myron Creese, B.S., E.E.; R. B.

On the campus there may be some doubt about which course is most difficult, but ask the boys who are often seen gazing from the Engi- neering Building windows between classes and their only doubt will be as to whether it is civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering. The engineering curriculum is designed to give vigorous technical training. All engi- neers in good standing must carry at least 18 credit hours and it is not uncommon for some to carry as many as 21. School work outside of class sometimes requires study into the small hours of the morning, but when the engineering student graduates from the Uni- versity of Maryland, he is qualified to prac- tice his profession in every state of the nation. The College of Engineering has advanced Work in three branches of Engineering — Civil, Electrical, Mechanical ENGINEERING FACULTY Back row, left to right Wikstrom, Hodgins Hoshall, Ernst, Allen, Ingalls, Huckert, Lin dahl.
