From the combination Of the var
ious schools of the university on one
site and under one management many
advantages result. Such combination
is economical In Utah any attempt
10 maintain these schools separately
would increase their cost 10 the state
beyond the point at which the state
could afford them. From cOmbina-

students pursuing different courses
and actuated by different purposes in
securing a higher education. Asso-

together By loyalty TO the university,
students in arts, education, engineer

school of Arts and Sciences.
In the school OF arts and sciences
the work is elective save that il must
include several subjects essential to
general culture and must form con-
sistent whole. Special courses in COM
merce and industry. government and
administration, and journalism, with
out neglect Of the basic principles of
culture, aim 10 prepare students di-
rectly for business, public service and
journalism.
In the school OF mines the arrange
ment Of studies Is such as TO prepare
students for practice in some field Of
engineering with the most economical
expenditure of time and energy. The
courses are mining engineering, which
prepares its students for assaying,
surveying. the opening up and work
ing of mine, concentrating ana
smelling ores; electrical engineering,
which prepares its students for the
designing. testing. Installation ana
operation OF electrical apparatus and
machinery for all industrial purposes
and for the designing and erection or
power and lighting plants, civil en-
gineering, which prepares its students
for railroad surveying and cOnstruc-
ton, the designing and construction
OF reservoirs, canals, trTigating and
other hydraulic systems and NUM-
cipal works; mechanical engineering,
which differs from the course in cleo
Jrical engineering in devoting more
time To the study of mining machin-
cry and less time to the study Of cleo
trical apparatus; chemical engineer
ing. which qualities its students for
the career of industrial chemists in

Normal school Work
In the normal school the four years
Of college work is largely prescribed.
II is intended to give students a COM
petent preparation for the work OF
teaching in the schools Of the state
The normal school is the only institu-
ton in the state legally sanctioned TO
license teachers for the state public
schools This important work IL is
especially fit 10 perform. Its connec-
ton with the state university gives it
almost unique advantages. It's stu

facilities. the classroom privileges,
and the student life of the university
with students who are studying for
entirely different careers.
Requirements for entrance 10 the
school of medicine include four years
of high school work and in addition
two years of college work The school
OF medicine does not grant degrees.
II gives a certificate. hOwev YER. for
TWO years of medical work, which is
accepted AT its full value by the best
professional schools of the country.
