FACULTY 1935 YACKETY YACK 35 THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING When the University opened its doors in 1795 the first student to enter was Hinton James of ' ilmington, who, after a brilHant career as a student, engaged in the practice of engineering. His breadth of interests here, ranging from as- tronomy to world commerce, was a fitting begin- ning for the broad cultural training which the in- stitution has provided (since that time for lead- ers in the constructive development of the re- sources of the State and Nation). In 1852 The School for the Application of Science to the Arts was founded, which by 1857 registered 69 stu- dents. Then came Civil ' ar and Reconstruction, but with the reopening of the University in 1875 a College of Engineering was established. In 1904 Engineering became a division of the new School of . pplied Science, and in 1922 the pres- ent School of Engineering was organized. The School of Engineering ofifers standard four-year curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Me- chanical Engineering. The purpose of these cur- ricula is to prepare the students to enter either the more technical phases of the engineering pro- fession or the broader fields of the industrial world by giving him a thorough and cultural train- ing in the fundamental principles of engineering.

1935 YACKETY YACK FACULTY Vg) c dN THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE The School of Commerce at the University of Xorth Carolina was established in 1919. Al- though courses in economics and in certain busi- ness subjects had been offered before the es- tablishment of the School, the regular business curriculum was not established until that year, 1919. Industrial growth has been very rapid since the World War. and there has been a wide demand for trained leaders in the various fields of commercial activity. The University of North Carolina has realized the importance of this de- mand for business leaders, and has set up a curriculum that will provide its students with as thorough and as scientific a training as it is pos- sible to give in this field. Courses are given in subjects dealing with the cultural and social side of life, but the teaching policy is directed mainly along lines dealing with the organization and ad- ministration of typical business enterprises.

36 1935 YACKETY YACK FACULTY ■ E 1 Nsk H v 1 1 THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION The School of Public Administration is an ex- tension and an enlargement of the School of Pub- lic Welfare, which was established at the Univer- sity of North Carolina in 1920, and whose main objective was the training of public welfare offi- cials and social workers. In 1931, President Graham, upon the recommendation of Dr. How- ard W. Odom, Director of the School of Public Welfare, urged the establishment of a new School of Public Administration in which the work in Public Welfare and Social Work would be con- tinued as an important division, with still higher standards. The proposal received the hearty sup- port of the Governor of the State and of the Legislature, and the new School of Public Ad- ministration was authorized by the Board of Trustees in June, 1932. THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE The School of Library Science of the Univer- sity of North Carolina opened as a separate unit of the University in September, 1931. Courses in Library Science have been offered since 1904. but a grant from the Carnegie Corporation has made it possible for this division to function as a School of the University. It is a ]3rofessionai school offering a one-year course for the training of public school, college, and university librarians. The principal requirements for admission are a bachelor ' s degree from an accredited college or university or senior standing in the vmiversity. The School is fully accredited by the Board of Education for Librarianship of the American Library Association.
