I rl K 1 .elfps-.ngygqf wiqkipx' .vt VZ Z7fl607 Z71g Ten years after its founding, the University offered the first course in civil engineering west of the Mississippi. The School of Civil Engineering began in 1859. The Land Grant Act of 1862 provided for the establishment of schools of mechanic Warts and the Engineering school was able to survive the postwar period. i The school began the degree of Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 1870, While the Department of Chemical Engineering began in 1903. And it was in that same year the St Patrick was an engineer tradition was begun, which has grown to such proportions that the vvhole School of Engineering takes a week off to celebrate the birth of their patron saint on St. Patriclis day.

Townsend Page 22 The College of Education of the University of Missouri began in 1856 as a teacher's college, and became a separate school in 1900. Offering courses in theoreti- cal and practical education, the school gives prospective teachers the opportunity of teaching in the University Laboratory School, Where they teach actual classes and are therefore better trained for future service. The College offers courses in every type of teaching, in every grade through high school, and awards degrees and certificates entitling graduates to teach in the schools of the state of Mis- souri. v Q 4 ' K' if ' v An wi 13, V .Y - I .
