Organic Chemistry Lab., Chem. Bldg. Addition Foundry Lab., East Engine SCHOOL Dean Crawford of the Engineering College became an engineer in 1912. Since then he has been dean of the engineering colleges at the University of Idaho, the University of Kansas, and since 1940, at Michigan. He also has been with the Army during World War One. At present, important school projects keep him a busy man, though they give way in the summer time to his favorite sport, trout fishing. Michigan ' s College of Engineering began as a course in the physics depart- ment here in 1847. When DeVolson Wood began the first real engineering instruction. In 1 895 the College of Engineering was established as an independ- ent department, thus becoming the oldest public-supported institution of its kind. The technical development of industry created a growing demand for engineers, and Michigan has responded. Combining theory and practical knowledge through an able faculty, it has turned out some of the best-trained engineers in the country. The size of the College has increased accordingly with the growing importance of engineering until it is now one of the largest units of the University. Its many professional and honorary organizations spread the influence of the college over a large part of the campus. Electron Microscope, Physics Dept.

QUARTERDECK, the University ' s oldest honorary technical so- ciety, has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1905 under the name Indoor Yacht Club. In 1908 it was reorganized and its name changed to Quarterdeck, and has since functioned under the sponsorship of the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. The object of the society is to further the interest of students of naval architecture in their field by providing opportunities to hear prominent men in the field, to visit ship and boat yards, to write and discuss technical articles themselves, to obtain infor- mation over and above the scope of the regular curriculum.
