'wa I Y FLOWSHEET SCHOOL OF MINING AND ENGINEERING- THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Dean John W. Kidd, affectionately known to his students as Cap, heads the School of Engineering, a school which will compare very fav- orably with the other Engineering Schools of the country. The departments in Engineering are: I The hlining and Nletallurgy Department which has an excellent laboratory in Seamon Hall. It is equipped with model units used by the mills of the world. Complete metallurgical processes can be carried out in this department. A four-stamp mill for running small tonnages of ore is connected to this Department. The Geology Department and its laboratories which are fully equip- ped to enable detailed instruction in all branches of Geology. The min- eralogical laboratory is one of the best equipped in the southwest. Extensive field work is done to add to the practical value of the instruc- tion of the Professors. This field work consists of inspection trips and plane table surveys. The lWathematics and Physics Department which enables the stu- dent to gather a practical working knowledge of all branches of Blathe- matics and Physics. In this Department a good practical engineering instruction is given in blathematics, Physics, Surveying, including plane, mining and railroad, drawing and the concomitant subjects The Chemistry Department which contains laboratories for the an- alysis of ores, minerals, oils and gases. The Assay Laboratory is fitted to give complete instruction on the assaying of all ores. An Organic Laboratory is provided for the instruction of Chemical Engineering students. In fact, there are six laboratories devoted to all phases of Engineering and one year of Academic Chemistry. A few of the Engineering traditions are: Initiation of Engineering freshmen at St. Patis picnic on lN'Iarch 17g Annual Hard Luck Dance given by the Scientific Club to which only Engineering upperclassmen may belongg the election of a Senior Engineer as President of the Stu- dent Bodyg and the rivalry between Engineers and Aeadems.

'-we, ' 11 1 1 lg FLOWSHEET SCHOOL OF MINING AND ENGINEERING During the past year the Country has witnessed the most severe de- pression that has existed for more than a third of a century. It is in- cumbent upon us to readjust ourselves to the changed conditions and make preparations for our advancement under adverse economic con- ditions. In spite of the depression there has been an increase in the number of Engineering students during the past year g and what is even more gratifying, higher standards of work, and a greater determin- ation has been shown by the students. Let me urge upon you to continue your efforts, even though to you, the future prospects may at this time appear uncertain. Bear in mind that to the students of today must fall the responsibilities of leadership in all lines just a very few years hence. In my opinion there has never been a time in the history of the world when greater opportunities were open to persons of ability, than at the present. The world needs more men of ability, training, foresight, and energyg men not bound by conventions, but men with ideas and a will- ingness to create new lines of thought and action.
