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.. .

W,1 I -i ! GRADUATE SCHOOL SCHOOL OFFICERS Willis Bray President EVERETTE C. BUCKNER Vice-President Winifred Weatherman Secretary-Treasurer THE watchword of our Graduate School, as of any graduate school, should be research — original investi- gations in the various fields of art, science, and literature. Even before our Graduate School was organized with a separate faculty in 1910- 1 9 11 , it had already gained so conspicuous a place of leader- ship in pushing forward the bounds of knowledge through the researches of its faculty and of its students, that it was invited in 1907 to be- come a member of the Asso- ciation of American Universities, which sets the standards for graduate work in all the universities of America. The Graduate Bulletin contains each year a list of from 1 50 to 200 works of scholarship published by the members of the various departments of the University during the preceding academic year. To encourage the production of leaders in scholar- ship, the University of Missouri offers each year a limited number of fellowships, bearing each an annual stipend of $600, and of scholarships, bearing each an annual stipend of $300, to young men and young women, college gradu- ates, of the highest scholarly ability and promise of future service, irrespective of the branch of knowledge that they wish to pursue. Applications for these must be in the hands of the dean by the first of March in order to receive consideration for award for the following academic year. The Columns Page 20
