UT of a professorship of Civil Engineering in the College of Liberal Arts has developed the College A of Engineering, now one of the most important departments of the University of Cincinnati. It was organ- ized in 1900, and became a distinct department in 1904. The Engineering Department embraces Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. A feature of the recent development of the College of Engineering is the cooperative plan of study. This scheme is carried on by the University in conjunction with a number of the largest mechanical and electrical manufacturing con- cerns in the vicinity. The students in these courses are divided into two sections, which alternate with each other in spending one week studying at the University and the next working at the factories. These courses require tive years for completion. pale twenty-three

if HE College for Teachers was organized in 1905 by the Board of Trustees of the University in cooperation with the Board of Education of the city of Cincinnati. It is a professional school for the training of teachers, under University auspices, and is in close touch with a large system of public schools. For purposes of observation and practice, public schools of Cincinnati are placed at the disposal of students of the College under expert direction and guidance. An arrange- ment has been made, also, whereby courses in the Cincinnati Kindergarten Training School are open to students of the College. Gpportunity is thus offered for the professional training, theoretical and practical, of teachers for kinder- garten, elementary and secondary schools. pale twenty-live
