when once the student enters into
the spirit Of his work he enjoys it
thoroughly for its own sake.
The foregoing while indicating
something of the spirit of the new
education, would be incomplete as a
presentation Of this subject. if no
word were added to indicate how the
world needs the product Of the tech
nical schools. The department of
mechanical and electrical engineer
ing Of the State College of Kentucky.
constantly receives requests for men
to take various positions in the en-
gineering world. Up to the pres
ent, the demand by far ex-
ceeds the supply. And this is
a very potent reason WHY the
sons of Kentucky should seek their
technical instruction at the State
College. The world indicates its
needs in no uncertain way: and it is
evident that, so long as efficient,
trained men, are in control of bust
ness and manufacturing, there need
never be time when the demand
for well trained engineers should
decrease.
The spirit of the institution is i'm
proving year by year, as it's impor-
lance in its relations to the worlds
work and the youth of Kentucky is
more and more appreciated; and the
time is sure to come when the people
of Kentucky will show their appre-
citation Of the work that is being
done in technical education, by
furnishing the state a institution Of
higher learning, with an equipment
which will be comparable with the
equipments of other institutions of
a similar character in other states
having no more resources than Ken
lucky has. In the mean time the
work Of technical education is going
on at the State College in such a
way, that, in spite of disadvantages,
her graduates are sought for, and
demonstrate their efficiency by the
work which they do.
And efficiency, after all, is not the
real test. AS before indicated, a
man is judged nowadays, not by
what he can produce if he would,
but what he actually does. The en-
gineering department Of the State
College has caught the spirit of the
times and is producing the best re-
suits possible. It's graduates are eff
ficieDt, and are therefore sought af-
ter. It's students have a fine college
spirit, and enjoy to the full the vi
cissitudes Of college life. The four
years spent there are rich in men,
cries to those who have graduated.
1t has the unmistakable imprint of
healthy and vigorous development,
and there is no reason why a Ken
tuckian desiring a technical educa-
ton should not seek it there.
As an evidence of the demand for
State College of Kentucky graduates
there were siEty-two places available
for the tWenty-seVen who graduated
from the mechanical and electrical
engineering department in June
1905. These young men were able
to select lines Of work suited to their
tastes and training, and immediate
ly upon graduation they entered the
