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.

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

I I i ! l, .! HM xXUMIN I5 I'RX'I IUAN Col lege of q3harmacy FREDERICK V. LOFGREN Dean From its inception in 1893, our College of Pharmacy has been diligently co-operating With the leaders in this held in an endeavor to raise our stand- ard among the schools of the country. Beginning With a one year course of flfty weeks giving the men engaged in the profession a slight knowledge of the science of pharmacy, we soon advanced to the two and three year courses, due to the tremendous ad- vances in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences. More re- cent surveys, however, indicated that a minimum four year curriculum is indispensable. In 1930, two years prior to its general acceptance, our college adopted the four year course as the minimum for graduation, lead- ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Our school, to- gether With a few others, has taken this progressive stand since we believe that a cultural, as well as a scientific education, is essential to the successful career of the modern pharmacist. Recognizing the truth of the statement that pharmacy is Without ques- tion a business as well as a profession our college prepares young men and women to enter the business world as retail or Wholesale pharmacists or in the administrative held of manufacturing pharmacy. For those sci- entiflcally inclined, they are thoroughly equipped to enter into the realm of pharmaceutical or chemical research, either With private or govern- mental institutions.
