HALL and KXCpINE HOUSE W )l w v m ' The Engineering College has grown during the past ten years to nearly three times its previous enrollment. About fifty engineers will complete their training on May 15. The faculty consists of more than a dozen engineers with practical backgrounds, as well as theoretical training, all well qualified in their several branches of engineering. The equipment of the college is adequate for thorough training in the funda- mentals of this science with additions being consistently made. The various courses are modified from time to time as new fields develop and as new needs arise. The Engineering College is accredited by the national engineering accrediting agency, and offers standard curricula for the training of men for civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. The University also offers Civilian Pilot Training under the supervision of the Engineering College. HA In the Engineering building are the physics laboratories, the courses in mechanical operations, opportuni- ties for design and construction and operation in training for the field. H. E.

SCIENCE CI; )lot W. G. Solheim. botany; Philo F. Hammond, physics; L. Floyd Clark, zoology; and Samuel H. Knight, geology; head up the departments of science at the University. lasses in geology are among the most popu- lar in the science curriculum, being used most often for Liberal Arts Science requirements. Outstanding because all professors in geology have doctor ' s degrees, the geology department rates among the top schools of the country. The museum in the basement contains skele- tons of many prehistoric animals, remains of which were found in the extremely interesting geological formations of the state. Most majors in geology continue study here for their mas- ter ' s degree. The University summer camp specializes in geology in the field. Students from all over the United States attend and explore the beautiful Snowy Range region for practical experiences in geology. I The Science Hall, second oldest University building, has in its basement a fascinating study of Wyoming geological remains. T ASrafl «t §i • 1 i ?: PAGE SIXTEEN

The College of Liberal Arts consists of three divisions, Letters and Sciences, Commerce and Music. The ma- jority of students enroll here because the courses of study are not set, but arranged to suit individual needs. The standing of the LIniversity of Wyoming is at- tested by the presence of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, oldest national scholastic fraternity, which selects its members primarily from students whose programs are in the Liberal Arts. Dr. Ottis Rechard is chairman of the department of mathe- matics and director of the division of graduate study. Allan Willman is director of the division of music.

The comfort- able, modern auditorium, seating capacity 2000, is in this building.
