I?l III COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SCHOOL OFFICERS George Crow President John J. Washer Vice-President Harry Kruse Secretary Hubert Bosch Treasurer ENGINEERING as a profession has expanded in a remarkable manner dur- ing the last forty years. The production of electrical power, the extended use of the telephone and the radio, the development of the gas engine and its application to transportation, have so ex- panded the industrial field that trained engineers are in- creasingly in demand. Education for the en- gineering profession has like- wise been extended and broadened to meet this expansion of engineering activities. At Missouri, the College of Engineering offers five curri- cula of five years in length qualifying men for professional degrees. However, at the end of four years training In any curriculum the student may apply for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering — a degree common to all curricula. Under these conditions the College has been graduating from the four-year courses from fifty to seventy students each year, and up to the present time such men have found no difficulty in making a place for themselves in the industries and in professional work. « Wtii lf ill, fa — ' — ■■ -.p.. .

HI I SCHOOL OF EDUCATION SCHOOL OFFICERS Constance Boyer President Lucy Shelby Vice-President Martha Montgomery Secretary Dorothy Saville Treasurer THE University of M souri has been one of the leaders among state universi- ties in providing training for teachers. The University was the first state supported institution in Missouri to give training in the field of Education and was one of the first state universities in the country to establish a professorship of Education. With the organization of a College of Education in 1902, it was the first of the State Universities to provide a separate collegiate division with degree-granting powers for training educational leaders. Through surveys and directed research, the School of Education furnishes assistance to the leaders of many of the schools of the state. Through experimental work carried on at the University, the School of Education assists in the development of better educational practices. By means of summer session work, teachers as well as supervisors and administrative officers are given oppor- tunities to continue their studies. Through the 3,500 students who have received degrees from the School of Education since its establishment, this division of the University has contributed to the educational leadership of every state in the Union.
