Even those who enter modern business and industrial life are beginning to find graduate training essential, which simply means that a student can no longer acquire from an undergraduate course the professional and technical training the world expects. The sudden and phef nomenal growth that took place thirty years ago in the undergraduate colleges of America is now being duplicated by an equally rapid growth in our Graduate Schools.

The Engineering Building College o ngineering -Q' HE function of the Engineering College, like that of other Departf ments of the University, is twoffold: instruction and research. It is the duty of the faculty to give the best possible instruction to the young men who wish to enter the engineering profession, and to extend the bounds of l-Lnowlf edge in the engineering field. Study and experimentation is a normal activity for a teacher of engineering, and its practical importance has long been recognized, but not until recent years has it had financial support at all commensurate with its importance. While the research budget of the College is still a small fraction of its total, the available funds are of great assistance, and have brought results that have led to important contributions from the industries of the state and the establishment of several cofoperative research projects. Such work is of benefit not only to the profession and industries, but also to members of the faculty and to students, who are thereby brought into intimate contact with problems similar to those with which the engineer must deal in his professional practice. The upbuilding of the research work of the college in close relation to its instrucf tional work on the campus and to the industrial interests of the state is the desire of the engineering faculty. if agnostic The DriveffPast the Engineering Laboratories N Page 32 N

MARL Dean 'i-ui The Home Economics Building Tlfome Tconomics School -1 ODAY the home is the one field that needs to be doubly safeguarded- not necessarily along old lines but developed to meet the changing eco' nomic and social conditions of today. A Home Economics, the general term that covers the study of all the problems connected with the home and family, offers a group of studies in human activities in which the subject matter is not strictly limited. The helds open to home economics graduates are increasingly important. Each year brings additions to the lists of professions in which the home economics graduate is successful. While the teaching field is always an excellent one, the research held, the extension field, and the commercial field are increasing in their demands rapidly. While personality and aptitude are a tremendous asset in all of these lines of endeavor, the field is so wide that each individual can find her ,special niche and do her part imimproving the health of today and building for the betterment of the generations to come. - ' The best part of home economics education is that whenever the graduate is ready to give up her outside professional work to establish a home, she has the general background which will make it easier for her to meet the varying problems of today and keep on in part with her outside professional work, a right demanded by the intelligent woman today. fm Aim X , 1 ..4q Henry ,Quadrangle 'V Page 34 N
