PROFESSORS Newest building on the engineer side, which is down in the hol- low, had class meetings, although it is not yet fully equipped. To add a definite tinge of variety, a group of army specialized train- ing program trainees were sta- tioned on the campus and were enrolled in engineering courses. A large class of the group grad- uated at ceremonies this spring, and were then sent on to other training schools or army camps. FREDERICK L.

ENGINEERING War has greatly curtailed activities on the engineering side of the quad during the past year, as engineering has primarily been for men students and they are few and far between othe campus this year. Along with the regular classes, the social end of engineering life, including the Associated Engineers, Nu Eta Epsilon, honorary fraternity. Civil, Electrical and Mechani- cal Engineers, all found themselves in practically a state of non-existence. Greater emphasis was placed upon the importance of engineering in the war. Members of last year ' s graduating class found themselves in imme- diate demand, but mostly, of course, by Uncle Sam, who was most anxious to obtain their services. Engineers practically have a side of the campus to themselves as east side of the quad is known strictly as the engineers ' side.

Carl Jesch works out a problem with the assistance of Prof. Van Dyke. Jack Layson at work at his drawing board. When the army engineering training unit was disbanded on this campus this spring, trainees who had not yet graduated were sent to other colleges conducting similar programs, to complete their courses. In Mackay Science building, civilian students shared their labs with both engineering trainees and aviation students Stately architecture of the new engineering buildinrj adds to campus beauty
