Dr. Brandhorst is well qualified for this position since he was President of the Missouri State Dental Association in 1944-45.

gcgoof of Enfjinssrinfj 3400! of gngineering The School of Engineering, under the direction of Dean Lawrence E. Stout, is one of the top ranking schools of its kind in the United States. Founded in l9U5, the school did not suffer the shortage of professors which plagued so many colleges throughout the country. ln fact, the faculty of this division of the University has been increased so that the Engine School runs smoothly. Engineering students have long been known for their seventy minute hours into which the professors cram as much informa- tion as is possible. The men behind the slide rules have increased their numbers to alarm- ing proportions, which has necessitated a 28 continuous revision of curriculum to include the latest development in the field of en- gineering. ln recent years the school has acquired a great deal of new equipment, including en- gines and materials testing machines. Al- though crowded into a comparatively small space, the machine shop is considered one of the finest in any college. Sever lnstitute, opened in l95U, is the pride and joy of the Engine School. With its new laboratories, library, and lecture halls, the building stands as a symbol of progress. Each spring the engineers get together and sponsor a campus-wide Engineers' Day, highlighted by a two day exhibit in the build- ings and the Engineer's Masque, climax of the festivities.
