L can c Women 7 he L)fHcf ot the Dean of ' olnen is pi iinaril con- cerned ith the problems confronting tlie «dmen students of the Lni ersitv. It is «ilhng at all times to help M ' ith these problems and with the adjust- ments necessary for a happv life in college. This office also wishes to help organizations which piromote a constructi e program and which enable tlieir members to li e a ell-roLindeel life. Lena C. Clau e, Dciin of JJiniiot Jcx n or A cn Among the aried experiences of university life, the average student is continualh ' confronted with new situations. Especially is this true in the case of the first year student « liose life, up to this point, has been as a rule more or less planned and di- rected for him. Some of the chief objectives of education are : to develop in the student the ability to think for himself; to stud independenth ' : to depend upon his own resources in meeting and solving new problems as they present themselves; to adapt himself to new surrounding and to get along well with his fellow-men. To assist the student in acquiring useful techniques and methods in accomplishing these aims, during his student years and for his after-university life, is one of the objects of the dean of men ' s office. J. L. Bostwick, Dean of Men

V oilccj; ol icS and sciences There is nnich confusion over the higher Icir.ing ' Ai ' ierica t( la . It concerns especially the college o, liberal nrts and its rela on to the juninr college and the p -ofessional scl ' . iol. Shall the Hlieral arts college yic;d to the pressure of th. moment and bend with the wind, or shall it seek to preser e tiie culture of the ages? This gener tion must find its own answer. Einblem.atic of inc spirit -f the Grailuate School, t!ie g ' -aduate tudents this year have launched a publication of t-lieir owjI, and have called Rfscarcli. Investigation c : ' new or little-understood problems, and the training of the individual to meet them is majo, funct 3n of graduate work. The magazine Ri-SiUinli and the graduate students of -lev iVIexico face a challenge in meeting the problems ' if their own state in a time ' -f pijneer .levelopment. George P. Hammon !, Dean, I ' pp ' -r Division and Graduate Scliuol C ollcqc 01 Un ' incciinq .■qc CI Liiyiiic ' criiig The College c ' Enginee.ing has impro ' ed its facili- ties for teaching its students, by the addition of a new laboratory for the department of iVIechanical Kngineering. This change will provide more room fo- tiie laboratories of Civil and Electrical Engineer- ing and allow these departn ' - nts to better organize their work. Each year the engineering profession is becoming more complex because of continued re- search and studv that is exLcnding our knowledge of the sciences. At the same time there is a tendency to extend the engineering held on all fronts because of the introduction of new mat;rials and n:w niethods of manufacture. These changes will require a more detailed study of a greater variety of equipment in our labora- tories. It is hoped that our laboratories .s ' ill broaden the field of inst ' -uction and better prepare the student for his chosen profession. M. E. Farris, Dean
