where men are beginning to recogniz,
that vast fields exist for the employ
ment of capital in the development
OF rich natural resources. In tn
state of North Dakota alone grea
beds of valuable clay and enormou
deposits Of Ignite invite investigation
and enterprise.
Inc coal and clay industries which
are destined to become large minera
wealth producers receive special at
tention in the school of mines Care

the clay the student is first made t.
determine the value and uses of vari'
Gus clays by analyses and physica
tests and then is made to work the
clay into the various wares for which
he finds it best adapted. .
A great deal of work is being done
by the college of mining engineering

ried on at the sub-station. This sta

summer training camp for mining and
industrial students.
Large Demand for Civil ENGINEERS.
Reconnaissance and surveying for
the location Of railroads. their con-
struction. and their maintenance and
retirement during operation Is one of
the most important lines Of civil en-
gineering work. Hydraulics and it's
application in the development of
water power In canal design and in
irrigation. a branch of this work
which is centuries old. is at the pres
e"9 uSNSLoPiii6 rapidly ana max
ing a large demand for we'll trained
engineers. Students are brought into
contact with actual practice in meet
ing the fundamental questions under
lylng all hydraulic problems through
the work OF the federal surveys of
stream flow in the state and adjoining
regions which has been for ten years
under the direction of the university
faculty.
Civic Improvements.
The problems of sanitary engineer
ing increases in Importance and COM
pie<y with the increase in popula-
n cities. The engineering expert
finds his opportunity in municipal i'm
provements that were undreamed Of
a century ago, in better pavements
and sewers. more effective street
better water supplies, better
illumination. and more adequate
transportation systems.
Positions Open to Engineers.
The positions which the graduates
OF the colleges Of engineering are
called upon to fill cover a wide range
n are very responsible and re-
mumerative Ones. These positions
are in various parts of the world.
u America, Africa. Mexico, Canada
n in many different states, especial
Y in the west, as well as in North
dakota. These men are serving sue
cesfully in such capacities as consult
ing engineers, city engineers, mana
gers. superintendents, assistant super
intendents, assayers, biologists. metal
lurgists. constructing railroad en-
glneers drainage engineers. hydraulic
ty surveyors. land surveyors, park
superintendent. contractors and fore
men OF paving and Of reinforced con-
crete construction. concrete construc-
ton designers. and steel bridge de-
slgners. In addition to these import
ant positions the college Of mechani-
cal and electrical engineering alone
a at different times had five Of it's
graduates appointed rs instructors in
one OF the largest e%ngineering schools
IN the country. 1t is the ambition Of
division of engineering to serve
the state in every way possible, not
only by aiding in the investigation and
development of its resources but also
py sending out young men who shall
be well fitted to fill important places
in their profession with credit to
themselves and to the university and
who with a training cultural. scien-
GENTLY broad and high ideals to be-
come active. useful and noble mem
bers Of society.
The officers of administration Of the
division of engineering are DR..
Frank L. McVey, president Of the
university: Professor e. j. Babcock,
dean of the college Of mining en-
gineering: Professor c. H. Crouch,
dean Of the college Of mechanical
and electrical engineering, and Pro-
lessor E. F. Chandler. director Of the
course in civil engineering. Com
munications addressed to these off,
GERS or to the registrar will bring
detailed information.
1t Will be interesting to many peo-
pie OF h state to observe from the
list given below the location and posi-
ton of graduates Of the University
of North Dakota who are now en-.
gagged in e%ngineering work.
