Dean S. S. Steinberg Dating back to 1859 history of engineer- ing at the University of Maryland has been one of continual progress. The outstanding development of the past year was the generous gift of $i, 500,000 from Glenn L. Martin, pi- oneer aviator and Baltimore plane manufac- turer, for new engineering buildings and equipment; the State Legislature appropriated an additional $750,000. An endowment of $ioo,ooo has been set aside for the Glenn L. Martin Aeronautical Research Foundation. The entire project is expected to result in the largest single advancement in the history of the University. During the past year many of our former engineering students who were in service have returned, and with them have come many veterans who are here for the first time. During the reconversion period ahead, the College of Engineering will continue to render maximum service to the State and to the Nation. 16
