MACKAY SCHOOL OF MINES (n i f - CLARENCE H. MACKAY, patron of the F(L Mackay School of Mines, donated $100,000 in 1926, fcr the purpose of enlarging the school building and to enable us to purchase badly needed up-to-date apparatus and equipment. When school opened in August 1927, the construction work was finished, and we have almost 100 per cent more floor space than formerly. A very complete assortment of the latest typ-s of apparatus and equipment has been added in all departments. The new instruments and equipment are all of first quality. Thanks to the latest gift of Mr. Mackav, the school has been brought up abreast of the times, and compares favorably with any of the other similar schools in the country, and surpasses many of them. Our graduates have gone out to all parts of the world, and ha ' e made oustanding successes. The demand for Mackay School of Mines graduates exceeds the supply by quite a margin. At the present time we could place twice as many men as are available. I — John A. Fulton. JOHN A. FULTON Dil-L-Ct..!- Top R„ — J. Cl.iiiJc Jones, Oliver R. Gruvc. Rotti.m Row — I?. K. Couch, J.iy A.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING (5m NE TAR AGO the Faculty of the College of -— Engineering adopted the policy of making the requirements, for entrance to and graduation from the Col- I lege of Engineering somewhat hroader and lighter. This was done in view of the fact that enrollment in the college was failing to increase. The piilic ' seems to be successful from the point of view of gain in numbers. The enroll- ment tor the present year has increased about 15 per cent o er 1927, with about 40 per cent increase in the Mackay School of Mines. It is possible that the curriculum of the college will be still further modified so as to allow more electi ' e work m business, economics, antl in the tund.imental sciences. Within the last two yeai ' s the great engineering societies of the countr ' ha x- completed an extensixe antl detailed stud) ' of engineering eilucation, antl the upshot of this study has been the recommen- dation of hroader traniing in college, particularl) ' in the so-called hmnanities. The object in iew is the fitting of engineers for positions of public service rather than that of mere technicians. In the past the tendency has been largely the other way. • — F. H. Sibley.
