THE College of Engineering has long been a part of the Wisconsin campus. Its various divisions, Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, and Mining and Metallurgical have reached top ranks in their respective fields. Long dispersed about the campus in scattered buildings, the current trend towards concentration of buildings, partially accomplished last year in moving the Engineering Library to the new Mechanical Engineering Building, is yet a vital necessity. Working along under these complications, the activities of the College are extensive, Instruction and research are predominant fields. It is due to Wisconsin developf ments that many technical improvements have been made. It is due to Wisconsin training that many men, capable and learned in the use of these improvements have gone forth into the American fields to apply them properly. Engineering requires extensive and expensive laboratories. Equipment of a mechanical nature is costly and constantly becomes outmoded by progress. So, progressive engineering is difficult. Against these obstacles, the leadership of the Wisconsin college has carried it along and today Wisconsin graduates are well in demand in every field.
