COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING OFFICERS Donald C. Adams George S. Siekielski M. Glen Eierman Orville Amyette . Clyde N. Ray President Vice-President . Secretary Treasurer Business Manager ' T HE College of Engineering has for its purpose the training of men - - for positions in fields of technical activity, and also for executive and administrative service in industry and transportation, and, to a lesser degree, in commerce. It is one of the oldest branches of the University and began granting degrees in 1878. It is probably the most specialized of the schools on the campus, and men who are graduated from it are able to find positions throughout the state in the various phases of Engineering. The recent development of public utility industries in the state has created a demand for engineering graduates and many have found work in this field. Their influence has been very effective in bringing about a better relation between the Public Service Corporations and the public which they serve. Degrees are granted in nearly all of the phases of engineering, such as Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Agricultural Engi- neering. The curricula of the various branches is planned to introduce the student into distinct fields of engineering practice, and in all cases they are based on fundamental training in English, the sciences, and in economics. At Missouri, the College of Engineering offers five curricula 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 degree. Page 20

THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION OFFICERS Bessie Ruth Knight Ida Spaht . Hertha Steiner . President Secretary Treasurer THE subject of this year ' s Savitar might well be a heading for de- scribing all the activities of the School of Education. It exists to serve dynamic youth. This service is rendered through the training given to teachers, supervisors, principals, and superintendents. More than two hundred students receive the degree, Bachelor of Science in Education, from the School of Education each year and go into the elementary, junior and senior high schools of the state to help give training to the boys and girls of Missouri which will prepare them for life in a changing world. It is also rendered through the - training given to the one hundred students who each year receive Master ' s or Doctor ' s degrees under the faculty of the School of Education. These men and women take positions of leader- ship in administrative, supervisory, and teaching positions and consti- tute the means through which the University comes into intimate contact with the majority of the school children of Missouri. To serve dynamic youth, the School of Education believes in thorough scholarship, research, and in activities which will keep its faculty members and student body in close touch with the economic, social, and political problems of the state. During the quarter of a century of its existence as a degree-granting division of the University, approximately three thousand five hundred students have received undergraduate degrees from the School of Education and approximately four hundred students have received Master ' s and Doctor ' s degrees with majors in professional education courses. These graduates are now at work in practically every state of the Union and in many foreign countries, where they are living up to the best traditions of the Uni- versity of Missouri. Page 19

THE COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS OFFICERS Myra Laxton Eleanor Coulter Francis Arnold . Sarah Conley . . President Vice-President . Secretary Treasurer CINCE its organization in 1923, the College of Fine Arts of the University of Missouri has grown rapidly, until it has assumed a position of leadership in all fields of art and musical education, and as is shown from its phenomenal growth it should reach even higher pinnacles. It has set standards and co-ordinated with the music and art work of the Junior Colleges of the state, developing a basis for accrediting work done in these subjects. This work is also extended to certain independent schools of music, so that the general musical educational system of the state may be more closely linked. The individual members of the faculty are talented musicians and artists, many of them with ' national reputations. Graduates of the College of Fine Arts are already assuming positions of leadership in their various fields. Perhaps the most important contribution of the school to the campus is the fostering of greater interest in the aesthetic side of life, as well as the physical, mental, and moral. The appreciation of stu- dents for this aesthetic side was exemplified by the large number who attended the series of organ recitals given by Dean Quarles as a relaxa- tion to busy students. The College of Fine Arts has brought and is bringing the best musicians and artists to the University to contribute to the cultural life of the campus. The students should, and do to some extent, realize the benefits derived from this. Pate 21
