1930 C VCTUS He thinks B. Hall an issue still, He pulls the tremolo; His hero is our Uncle Bill — He ' s always on the go. Thai ' s T. U. COLLEGE CE ENGINEERING DURING the early years of the Univer- sity, the only engineering course to be given was that of Civil Engineering, and this was included in the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. It was not until 1895 that the En- gineers were enrolled in a separate school. Electrical and Mining Engineering were added in 1903, but in 1914 the latter was discontinued in the University and transferred to the College of Mines and Metallurgy in El Paso. Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Architecture were added about fifteen years ago. In 1922 the title, Department of Engineering, was changed to College of Engineering. T. U. Taylor was elected adjunct professor of Applied Mathematics in 1888, with the en- gineering courses under his supervision. He has continued from this date to the present time to be the head of the Engineering Department and has been its Dean since the formation of the College of Engineering as a separate division of the University. Under Dean Taylor, the College of Engineering has achieved national recognition and has grown until now it has a building of its own and has been forced to hold classes in three other buildings on the campus, due to the great increase in the number of students taking the various engineering courses.

IQ30 CACTUS ' I ' here ' s nothing in the world but Law- It all our lives must fill. Whatever has the smallest Haw Is something on the hill. That ' s Ilildy. SCHCCL Cf LAW THE School of Law was established in 1883. The goal of the Law faculty has been since its founding the development of a law school which would be second to none. This year finds among those en- rolled, students from more than one-half of the states of the nation, many of whom are transfers from Northern and Eastern Universities with degrees from those schools. The requirements for entering have been raised from a high school education until now two years of academic work, most of the courses being prescribed, are necessary. Plans for the future include the raising of this requirement to three years of academic work. The faculty is nationally recognized to be of the highest order. The library of law books is the best in the South, and compares favorably with any in the United States. The Texas Law Review, under the supervision of the Law School, is widely recognized and cited in ref- erence to Texas law and law throughout the country.

1930 CACTUS Sales, ads, accounts, and all such stuff, Compose his daily ration, But if you think his pose is bluff. You ' ll get a revelation. That ' s Fitz. scuccl cr BUSINESS VIUIMMI VIMS THE School of Business Administration was first created as a department of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1912. It was in 1923 when the enrollment had grown to such an extent and the courses of- fered had increased to such a number that it became advisable to give the work in business ad- ministration in a separate school. While the School does not have a building of its own, due to the pressing demand for other structures on the campus, nevertheless the classes have been re- moved for the most part from the shacks and are now conducted in Garrison Hall. When a graduate of this School is asked, What experience have you had? he can not say None. Three to six months of business experience is required of every student before he com- pletes his last semester of work. Whatever the experience may be, the student is expected to learn how the business is operated, something of its chief problems, and the methods of manage- ment. To demonstrate this acquaintanceship the student prepares and presents to the Dean a comprehensive report upon his experience. First row — Cox, Whitk, Thompson, BOVD, N ' i.wi.ovi:.
