Wenp’, B.C.E., Civil Engineering Louisville’s young men who have desired thorough traini ng in the En- gineering Sciences have had to go away from home to get it, or have gone without. Much has been lost to the industrial progress of the city through the lack of opportunity for such training. The University has been put in position to supply this training by a generous gift during the past year. The Speed Scientific School will be opened September, 1925. The school has been established on the James Breckenridge Speed Foundation, created by Mr. William S. Speed and Mrs. Frederic M. Sackett, as a memorial to their father, James Breckenridge Speed. It will be a separate school of the Uni- versity and will train in the engineering sciences by a co-operative course extending over four full years—twelve months to the year, with time for a brief vacation. The plan for instruction was adopted after a thorough study of the best engineering schools in the United States representing the different types of engineering education. The school will offer Louisville boys a thorough training in the fundamental sciences and in the practice of civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering. The school will occupy two, perhaps three, buildings on the new campus. —— o aak tr 42e Seventecn Cocco ooo 4 YY vv = ee) OOOO ees SST RY
