EiiiiiiiiTriiiii The College of Enginccrint; has two main purposes in mind, to turn out trained young men to practice the profession of engineering, while at the same time equijiping them for their duties as citizens and for careers in public service and in industry. It is only natural that to train top flight profes- sional engineers it is necessary to place great em- phasis on the fundamentals of mathematics, science and engineering so as to establish a broad profes- sional base. A student in the College of Engineering has a variety of fields to choose from; specifically, chemi- cal, aeronautical, civil, and mechanical eni ineerins . Dr. S. S. Steinberg Dean Marie Mount lloiiic E(;iiiiiiiiii(]S The College of Home Economics offers an educa- tional program for both young women and young men, which combines good personal development with education for homemaking and for a livelihood. Two wings have been added to the Home Eco- nomics Building which provide additional space for research in nutrition and textiles. The program is directed toward enriched living with emphasis on art, merchandising, and on crafts, food service and tex- tile teclinology. Students are urged to acquire practical experience in the actual management of the family home, in some professional pha.se of home economics, or both. Nearby high schools, commercial firms and institu- tions provide opportunities for practical experience. 26

Umm and Public Administration The College of Business and Public Administration offers training designed to prepare young men and women for service in organizations requiring effec- tive training in administrative skills and techniques, and for the teaching of business subjects, economics, geography, and government and politics in high schools and colleges. It supplies scientific adminis- trative training to students on a professional basis. The aim of the college is to present and illustrate such sound principles of management as are appli- cable to both big business and small business. The university is in an unusually favorable loca- tion for students of the college. Special arrangements are made to study commercial agencies and economic activities in both Washington and Baltimore. Ednoation The College of Education helps to fill the constant and ever growing demand for more and better trained teachers. The college amply fills the needs of persons preparing to teach in secondary schools, nursery schools, kindergartens, and nursing schools. The College also meets the needs of those who are present or prospective elementary teachers who wish to supplement their preparation, students preparing for educational work in the trades and industries, graduate students preparing for teaching, super- visory, or administrative positions, and those students whose major interests are in the other fields, but who desire courses in education, and wish to broaden their background.
