The engineering budding faces tJic Francis quadrangle. on tJic west side of Engineers can be seen on campus surveying the columns, huddled over a nuclear reactor, holding a glowing test tube or re-wiring an old motor. Many types of engineering are offered including: agricultural, chemical, civil, sanitary, elec- trical, industrial, and mechanical. Technical studies are only part of the program offered by the School of Engineering. The curriculum is rounded out with social, humanistic and business courses; for the parts that engineers play are often broad and demanding ones. The program of Liberal Arts-Engineering leads simultaneously to degrees in both schools in a span of five years. The College of Engineering is situated mainly around Francis Quadrangle with additional laboratories on the Agri- cultural campus. Progress is the keynote of the school for great expansion has taken place and is still under way. Among the advances are a completely air-conditioned elec- trical engineering building which houses a Network Analyzer, a sub-nuclear reactor, and plans for a new laboratory for the department of civil engineering. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow can keep the surveijin . classes from functioning.

The new Fine Arts building, at the corner of Hitt and Lowrij is an example of M. U. ' s looking toward the future. From Lathrop to this—ivhat an improvement! Students f i n d modern comforts and conven- iences in the new Fine Arts building. Modern Fine Arts Building Replaces Ancient Lathrop Certainly a fine addition to the University of Missouri campus is the modern Fine Arts building. This building was long-needed by the University for those students in the fields of drama, music and art. The larger section houses the drama and music departments. Here on the ground floor is a three- Yiundred seat auditorium with a fully equipped professional stage for both ir.struction and performance. The upper floor of the music and drama section has twenty teaching studios as well as forty practice rooms, each one built for the best results possible accoustlcally. The music department has a two-hun- dred-and-fifty seat hall which may be used for judication. Instruction and practice by the music students. The University Singers have their meetings and their rehearsals in this build- ing. Completely alr-condltloned, the building will later be used for workshops and for summer sessions. 1 CS3 CiEj 1 i- | : Students in design get plenty of exercise pushing those pencils and compasses.
