Electrical Engineering

The department of electrical engineer ing was the first of it's kind established in any southern college, and Is today known throughout the United States for its efficiency and high standard of work. The course of instruction in- cludes, besides the general principles and applications of the sciences. a special course in the application of electricity and mechanics,r and is arranged to fit men for the profession of electrical en- gineering.
 The laboratory Is equipped with a large number of D. c. and A. c. gene rators, motors and other appliances especially adapted for experiment work. In addition, the equipment of the lower plant is so arranged as to be readily available for purpose of instruction and Investigation.

Chemistry

The courses in chemistry and metal lurgy and chemical engineering pro- vide for thorough and practical instruc- tion in pure and technical chemistry and metallurgy, and in the scientific branches relating thereto Students taking these courses also pursue the study of German and French during the junior and senior years, and are thus prepared to utilize the reference and for study scientific journals and works published in those languages.
 Instruction embraces: CD A course of lectures in general chemistry. (2) A course of lectures In industrial and engineering chemistry. (3) A course of lectures in metallurgy. (5) course of lectures in agricultural chemistry. CD course of lectures on physical chem istry.

Aim of the College

The land grant colleges of the United Congress, July2. 1862. donating public lands to the several states which may provide colleges for the benefit of the agricultural and mechanical sciences, or. to use the exact words of the meas ure for the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be. with out excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics. to each such branches of learn Ing as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts; for the liberal and prac- in the several pursuits and professions of life.
 In the original organization of the college on March 20, 1872. the board of directors, keeping in view the terms of the above charter, establishing the de- partfn entS. tlJ oclentlIlc dSrlculture, animal husbandry, rural agriculture. etc.; (2) civil and mining engineering, including railroad engineering. road engineering. surveying, assaying. treat ment of ores and metallurgy; (3) chem istry, agricultural chemistry, analytical chemistry; the institution thus taking the lead of all the southern states in the establishment of these practical departments; (D. In 1885. with in- crease of income, the first department of manual training and mechanic arts of the south was established; (5). In 1889 was established one of the first de- partments of biology, the first pro- lessor being now head of the great de- ity: (6). In 1891 the first department of electrical engineering, and CD in 1907 the first department of architec- ture.
 This is a noteworthy record (D. Tn 1884 the college, in order to still fur ther limit its activities more strictly and technically to the leading object of its creation and to exclude itself ab- solutely from any province of educa- tional work offered in the state. abandoned the time honored course and degree of Bachelor of Arts since then conferring only one baccalaureate de- gree, that of Bachelor of Science. The preme break with the old classical cur riculum.

Number of Students

While this institution, in the course of instruction, gives prominence to the sciences and their application. the aim has always been to give every student though pursuing the most technical branches, liberal education. thorough discipline in those studies which add to the culture and refine ment of life. To this end. all students are required to continue the study of the English language and literature throughout the college course.
 All students who take Q full four years course leading to the bachelors degree are also required to take math- ematics two years. history two years. physics, chemistry. astronomy, political economy drawing, mechanical arts. ele- mentary agriculture. military science and drill.
 Thus the college gives each student broad basis of general information and culture upon which to establish his technical training. Those who have guided the policies of the institution from the beginning have rejected the Idea that the purpose of the scientific school 10 merely to teach a trade. The workshops are educational laboratories and not more commercial factories.

Advertising in the country

says Eric w. Allen, head of the
department of journalism at the
State University. The mer.
chants advertising should be
news. IL should tell something
very definite about what the
store offers. and the copy should
be changed frequently. The
advertising columns should be
made as interesting as any other
part of the paper. and the mer.
chants 'ad' should appear with
the same regularity as the
editors news. An advertise
ment in the local paper is by no
means charity. IL brings big
returns: first. in direct business
when il is handled with a little
common sense; second. in build
ing up the community. The
paper should be made as i'm.

these days of Capitalization and |

do that il is doomed to disap-

short sighted as not to give
every encouragement TO the man
who is trying TO make a news
paper. He is in one sense the
most important citizen. He can
do more for the town, both at
