HARVARD SCHOOL OF
ENGINEERING TO OPEN
EARLY IN JANUARY

Boston, Dec. 1@-Tlb opening il
January OF the Harvard School of
Engineering, reorganized, was an
nounced today by Roger Pierce. sec
rotary Of the corporation. The re-
organization has been planned in ac-
cordance with ruling Of the sup
RENE court regarding the will of the
late Gordon Mckay by which the
school was given an endowment of
many millions. Courses will be con-
tinued during the summer in order
to enable students to complete 4 full
years work before the beginning OF
the next academic year in September.
The school was first established in
1914 when Harvard and Massac hu-
setts Institute Of Technology entered
into an agreement to cooperate in the
conduct of work in engineering and
mining. Some OF the funds available
under the Mckay will were TO be
used and the courts maintained that
the agreement could not be carried
out under its terms. Under the new
plans which have been approved by
the trustees Of the Mckay estate and
the governing boards of the uni
versity the school will be maintained
as separate institution with the
instruction wholly in charge Of n
Harvard faculty. and will lead, after
four years of study, to the degree Of
Bachelor Of Science. The work will
be carried on in the classroom and
laboratories Of the university with
the exception that arrangements may
be made from time to time TO utilize
the facilities Of other institutions. es-
pecially in the advance technical
courses. when the needs. financial
resources and best interest in the
school SO require. The latter provi-
sion is subject to the approval Of the
court.
Thus far Harvard has received
$500, 600 of the Mckay fortune and
it is estimated that when the last
person having a life interest shall
have died the total will reach s40.-
000 900.
