PROF. W. G. BEACH ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND HISTORY. It is written that “the proper study of mankind is man ’ and it is true that leaders of men have always been those who could interpret the inner motives of their fellows. Again, it is written that “history is the essence of innumerable biographies,” and again it is true if it be understood as the composite of all the lives that have lived. Through history then lies the leadership of the world, for on her scrolls are written all the motives of man com- plexed from primordial nothingness; and the modern science of economics is but the interpretation of certain of these social mo¬ tives, a new construction of facts long known. In the course in History and Economics, then, we study man historical, social and economical, and upon a knowledg e of man in all these aspects depends the solution of the momentous problems of modern life. 25

DR. A E. EGGE H. C. SAMPSON ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. The department of English Language and Literature in the Wash¬ ington State College is one of the broadest courses offered in the in¬ stitution. Here you can learn everything about English, from how to write a paper that must have an extra wide margin to contain all the red ink marks, or a debate that would put a Webster to shame, to an oration that would draw “iron tears down Pluto ' s cheek; you will learn more about English fiction than the master novelist knows, more old English than you can find room for in your head; and more about the great masterpieces than their authors knew; but, seriously, no one can be called an ideal college man who does not have an intelligent knowledge of the use of his mother tongue. More than this, by the critical and appreciative study of our masters of literature, one is brought into a broad sympathy with the world of thought, where are opened to him vast fields of enjoyment and companionship. In such boundless realms one lays the foundation, with the aid of those master workmen, Egge the wise, and Samp¬ son the eloquent, upon which a great structure of pleasure and bet¬ terment may be built. 2 4

P. S. GUILFORD PROF. H. V. CARPENTER MACK MARTIN A. A. MARDON MECHANICAL. A Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department is an essential part of an institution such as the Washington State Col¬ lege. This is one reason why this department has received the attention and care necessary to enable it to do the required work with maximum efficiency. While the department is not attempting to build any railroad engines or steam turbines, nevertheless the work which is done in constructing engines, experimental apparatus and scientific in¬ struments required in the work of the department and for the instruction of the students is a real and pleasant surprise to those visiting the shops for the first time. The education of the student is not deemed complete with merely the theoretical knowledge as to how a thing may be done — he must learn to do it himself—and after he has done it once it is assumed that he can do it again. This idea governs the work from the first training in the wood¬ working shops to the last work in the machine shops. In the wood shops the student learns to handle the wood-working tools. Then this knowledge is applied to forming models. The models completed it naturally follows that they should learn to make the molds, the molds complete, the castings are made. Then a course in the forge room and the machine shops adds further to the student ' s skill. Having learned to manipulate his material he is far better qualified to design and plan their further manipulation. The department is well supplied with necessary equipment and the constant additions are further increasing its resources and raising the standard of work. 26
