GRANITE that he need not go back to strengthen weak places in this foundation should make it appear fully worth the four years of life dedicated to acquiring it. A money value of Eve dollars an hour for all the time spent in class is sometimes given as the worth of an undergraduate technical trainingg such a measure of the worth of such training is of less importance than the intangible value of a possession which gives one peace of mind in that he may work in the future at tasks he enjoys and which are sufficiently worthwhile to return him a 'good living. ' lt is in large part due to the efforts of Dean George W. Case, present head of the College of Technology, that the invaluable services to students were evolved. l-Ie graduated in 1905 from Purdue with his Bachelor of Science degree, and seven years later received his lVlaster's degree from Cornell. l-le was for a time Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering at Purdue, following which he was Professor of Sanitary and Hydraulic Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. He resigned his position as Chief Engineer of the American City Engineering Company to be- come head of the College of Technology at this University and since that time has applied himself with diligence and competence to furthering the interests of that College.

THE 1937 The College of Technology ln the history of the New Hampshire College of Agri- culture and Mechanical Arts, it was not until 1914 that marked growth and expansion made necessary the divi- sion of courses offered into Departments. Thus was created the Department of Engineering which, upon the creation of the University of New Hampshire in I923, was incorporated in the new institution as the College of Technology. The policy of the College of 'Technology in presenting services of dennite value to the student has long enabled it to be typical of the progress of the University. Dean Case The educational aims of the College may be said to be purely professional and vocational in character, since the subjects offered are for the most part purely technical. Of this the present head of the College says, The special aim of the College of Technology is to give undergraduate instruc- tion of a high standard of excellence so that its graduates may compare favorably with graduates of institutions with higher entrance requirements. There are but few courses in these curricula designed especially to give a broad view of human affairs, since the result is obtained by the incorporation in technical courses of related matter that deals with the human elements of the problem. This plan, for successful use, requires mature instructors with a background of professional experience themselves, and the faculty of the College has been assembled with the value of this qualification well understood. The most important service rendered by the College is, of course, its training of young men, but, through its Engineering Experiment Station, the College is enabled to render service to industrial concerns of New Hampshire in helping cope with research problems. This service is particularly offered the smaller industrial concerns of the state, and, aside from the research assistance, the Engineering Experiment Station stands ready to advise in a consulting capacity concerning any problem with which the company may be having difficulty. ln this way, students working with the Station are enabled to observe first-hand the nature of engineering problems to be met by them after graduation. ln the training of young men, the College not only instructs and guides them as students, but assists them, as alumni, to advance themselves both professionally and economically. Besides these functions, the College administers the funds and property entrusted to it for use in the conduct of its work. ln an attempt to evaluate the College, Dean Case said, Young men who graduate from a curriculum in the College of Technology have a well-balanced foundation on which to build their professional career. The extent to which they may rise professionally in the field for which such curriculum was designed for foundation training will depend upon themselves and it is unlikely that they will at any time Gnd that foundation inadequate. The value of such training will depend upon the use made of it. However, the feeling a graduate should have 18
