Engineering is based upon the phys- ical sciences and mathematics. While qreat emphasis is placed upon these foundations, a considerable amount of specialization is permitted. Various groups of study include Architecture, Architectural, Agricultural, Chemical, Civil, Commercial, Electrical, and Me- chanical Engineering.

The Law College seeks for its mem- bership quality and not quantity. Un- %ss an individual has more than aver- age ability and is not afraid of work, another occupation should be chosen. It is true that seldom half of those who matriculate as freshmen are gradu- ated. The fact that the College of Law holds membership in the Association of American Law Schools and is on the approved list of the American Bar Association attests its high status in the eyes of the legal world.
