mmmmlhlIMINKTH XIII IN W- College of Liberal Arts F. W. KROENCKE Dean i 1 4 I I 1 I J v! s' I am the College of Liberal Arts, the basic institution of higher learning. 1 My true mission has ever been, as at the time of my birth, during the Dark 1 Ages, to bring light to the children of men, a better day, a brighter future. I have brought light. There are my torch bearers, among a long line of them, a Luther, a Pasteur, an Agassiz, a Jane Adams. Thousands in the course of years leave my halls to spend their life in service. Of course, I am criticized and evaluated, sometimes constructively, sometimes destructively, by an Erasmus, a McConn, a Flexner. Ever and anon I adjust myself to the changing needs of society. To classic learn- ing I have added modern literature and to both, science. Thus I continue to transmit spiritual goods to on-coming generations. Lovers of mankind expect much of me. I can succeed only in the measure in Which graduates live my advice and think of me in their labors and their prayers. In order that the Children of men may share in my benefactions ever tomorrow and thereafter-seniors, carry on! By W Music Building Page Eighteen

v E r RA man,s life Consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possessethf' The truth given utterance in this statement by Him who is Himself the Truth has been emphasized, in no unmistakable terms, by the trying and protracted period of depression through which our country is still passing. Vast fortunes have been greatly reduced; bank accounts have disappeared, as it were, over night; material pos- sessions generally have lost much of their former worth and value. While many of our fellowmen have sustained heavy losses through the past three years, the young men and women Who are leaving our institution as graduates this year have come into possession of a treasure which no financial crisis can ever take from them and Which has fitted them better to meet any emergency Which may arise in the future. A good education is one of those intangible assets which is of enduring value. We congratulate these young people up0n their good fortune, and as they now leave us to go out into life, we bid them faithfully to use the talent entrusted to them in the service of God and their fellow- men, and always to remember one of the lessons Which the bitter experiences of the past few years has taught us that ua man,s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things Which he possessethf, President

College of Engineering HOWARD W. MOODY Dean In the College of Engineering, standard four year curricula in Chemi- cal, Civil, Commercial, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering have been organized. An option in the Division of Mechanical Engineering affords the first three years of a curriculum in Aeronautical Engineering. In each of these curricula, during the junior college years, a broad founda- tion is laid both in the general theory and in the practice in engineering. In the senior college years a certain measure of specialization is necessary in the divisions listed in view of the remarkable advances in engineering in recent years. Associated With the engineering divisions is that of Industrial Arts. To prepare young men for teaching industrial arts and pre-engineering sub- jects in high school, four Curricula have been arranged: Drafting, Machine Shop, Electrical Work, and Wood Work. These curricula have been built around basic engineering subjects. They allow opportunity for majoring along one or the other line of endeavor and include sufficient courses in Education and in the teaching of industrial arts to satisfy all requirements made for those seeking license to teach in the various states.
