The College of Education was organized at the University of Maryland in 1917, its pur- pose being principally to train high school teachers, supervisors, and school administra- tors. During twenty years of existence, its in- fluence has been felt far beyond the Mary- land campus, as many students now attending the University were once taught in high schools by College of Education graduates. This year more than seventy students gradu- ate from the College, prepared to give others instruction in commercial, home economics, industrial, physical, general, and arts and sciences education. Although one of the youngest colleges on the campus, the College of Education has been a pioneer in raising scholastic stand- ards. For example, the College reguired a C average for admission into the Junior Class three years before this ruling was made general for the entire University. Further- more, no one is eligible to teach who does not rank in the upper four-fifths of the gradu- ating class. Dean Willard S. Small An outstanding feature introduced by the College of Education this year was a course in curriculum construction. This new course makes the University of Maryland a center for teachers desiring help in curriculum prob- lems. Among the improvements of the im- mediate future will be extension of graduate work leading to the doctor ' s degree, and; in the undergraduate field, improvement of op- portunities for training teachers in industrial and commercial education, music and art. Plans are also underway for improving and expanding instruction in physical education so that it will include preparation for com- munity recreation workers. Dean Willard S. Small, head of the College of Education, is also director of the Summer School of the University, which provides op- portunity for teachers, Maryland students, and others to take work of collegiate grade during summer months.

m r RELAXATION IN FRONT OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING in recent years to a point of prominence among engineering schools. Directed by Dean S. S. Steinberg, there have been added to the College during the past two years twenty instructors, all of whom have ad- vanced degrees together with wide practi- cal experience. With this added personnel, it has been possible to strengthen the courses in the three branches of engineering already established and add to the College the newly- formed department of Chemical Engineering. Last fall the curricula in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering were accredited by the Engineers ' Council for Professional De- velopment. This ranks the College of Engi- neering among the very best in the country. Educational efforts of the College have also extended beyond the Maryland campus, as the Engineering auditorium this year was the scene of four short courses for adult engi- neers. In addition, much has been done in order to develop the Engineering Experiment Station in cooperation with the industries of the state and nation. Supplementing improvements of a strictly academic nature, the College has given en- couragement to extra-curricular engineering activities. The Engineering Student Council has greatly enhanced faculty-student rela- tionships, one of its accomplishments being the scheduling of tests so that no student will be given more than one a day. There have been recently introduced into the College three student chapters of na- tional engineering societies, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers, and the Ameri- can Society of Mechanical Engineers. The University Radio League for short wave com- munication with other institutions was organ- ized by Maryland ' s College of Engineering. With these facilities for training, the grad- uate of the College of Engineering leaves Maryland with a mind trained to deal with engineermg matters in a manner that will make him an asset to society, and a man in a man ' s occupation.
