PROF. O. L. WALLER PROF. W. J. ROBERTS CIVIL ENGINEERING. The science of progress is the key to the develop¬ ment of the world. For untold ages the world plodded along the same beaten cycles making little or no prog¬ ress till at length some master mind grasped the funda¬ mental idea that progress is a science; that every step in the progress of the world is but the realization of another truth. So the magnificent structures which span the yawning chasms and annihilate nature ' s bar¬ riers, the sinuous lines of cold, silent steel, surmount¬ ing every obstacle as they reach from ocean to ocean and over which pass the comforts of civilization, or the tortuous channel which carries the life-giving waters to transform the desert wastes into blooming gardens, all these are but stepping stones in the progress of the world, footholds from which we may advance to yet greater truths.

the Washington State College. Here the minds of the ambitious youths are moulded by the ablest teachers of the West. The great lessons of accuracy and efficiency are so thoroughly instilled that after two years of general scientific work they are capable of grap¬ pling with the larger and broader questions of progress, as, Rail¬ road, Hydraulic, Irrigation, Sanitary and Structural Engineering. Here they learn the greatest lesson the world has to offer, the value of truth. The lawyer or even the statesman may deceive him¬ self and others by plausible logic, but the Civil Engineer soon learns that the penetrating searchlight of rigid analysis turned on even the most complicated structure will reveal all errors, all falsehoods. Thus the work continues until after four years of able guidance by the professors he can no longer deceive himself and is ready to enter the broad arena of life and make his mark in the progress of the world. Thoroughly prepared for the work before him, the world welcomes him with open arms. Competency is the keynote to success and competency is the watchword of the department. To educate the young men of the state to a fuller conception of the truths of progress, to make them masters of themselves, competent to grapple with the great problems of the day is the aim of the department. How well the department has succeeded is best told by its graduates, all profitably employed in the life work which they have chosen. 17
