RALPH D. GOODRICH, ACTING DEAN OF COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING College of Engineering T XPANDING to meet the needs of the students, the Engineering Col- lege has grown from one line of instruction in 1891 to the three pres- ent fields of civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The primary aim of the instruction is to fit the students for service in engineering fields. An effort is made to give each student an idea of the contents of the major engineering fields before he specializes in one particular branch. A general engineering course is becoming more and more pop- ular in the universities of the United States. In the past the College of Engineering has graduated men who are prominent not only in Wyoming engineering positions but also in many other states. The college itself is rapidly gaining a widespread reputa- tion for the training of successful engineers. I -24-

MAJOR 15. C. DALY, DEAN OF MEN Dean of Men ■T ' HE duties of the Dean of Men are many and varied. In general, they may be explained by saying that he is a ready listener and confi- dential adviser and helper to the men of the Universitj in any problem which they may present to him. Included among these problems, we find such outstanding ones as finance, future work, choice of vocation, living- quarters, and questions of personal conduct and behavior. The Dean of Men is well informed about each student as he has many records on high school and college standing. In order to have a more complete understanding of the students ' associations, the Dean of Men is assisted by proctors who represent the different fraternities and the Men ' s Residence Hall. -23— 1
