' 45 PRISM ' Technolo OF.AN CI.OKE The College of Technology, under the guiding hand of Dean Cloke, this year swung its ])n)grain into line for the Annv .S| cciali i(l Training I ' rograni which consisted largely of both elementary and acUanced courses in the technological fields. Particular stress was placed on electrical and (i il engineering courses and se eral more insiriiciors were added to the lacultv ol these departments. They mon than offset the large number of regular iacidty members who have enicred the service where their technical training is ])i() iii r invaluable, especially in such di isii)ns as Chemical Warfare, Engineers, and Signal (lorps. Al ihe (one hisioii ol ilu winur term the .X.S.r. program was discontinued, and it was necessary to cmtail activities accordingly. However, the seventeen- vear-old Reservists who remained have taken up some of the slack.

Groduate Stiidi| Achanrcd work in spcciali ctl fu-lcls is carrii ' d on nndtT the (lircction of Dean Peterson. ' arious members of the rcgii- h»r fatuities cooperate by offering courses for graiiiiate credit whicii lead to M.A. and M.S. degrees. The student must also j)repare a thesis which will co er some pliase of his chosen subject and which will add something new to the field. In pursuit of an .M.S. the student often attempts intricate research in the laboratory, while the M.. . candidate busies himself ferreting out original source material and consulting documen- tary material. Ediicot lOH DEAN I ' ETER.SON The |)rogram of the Sdiool of Educa- tion is being maintained very effectively, and much excellent work has been done in |)rr)viding teachers who are now Ijadly needed in our high and normal schools. In addition, the Education Extension Service and the correspondence courses are being continued. The department is st ill under the able guidance of Dean Smith. Mr. C rawford, .Associate Profes- sor of Education, is now on leave of absence, having received a commission in the Navy. The local schools coo|jcr- ate with the University in allowing the students to practice teaching. Critic teachers act as supervisors, and are in- cluded on the faculty of the School of Education.
