planes, gas engines, steam engines
steam engines, locomotives, cars and
In fact every article that is manufac-
tured for mans use, from tooth picks
to ocean liners.
II he Is Interested In mining engin-
eering he has an unlimited field for
the exercise ohfls talents, such as coal
mining, gold and silver mining, get
ting out iron ore, drilling for oil, and
his work in general will be that of
taking from the crust of the earth
all those valuable substances that are
to be adapted for mans use by the
mechanical engineer.
So many new opportunities since
the war have appeared. A Kentucky
graduate was in Lexington few days
ago on his way to India where he will
be the chief engineer in construction
of fifty million dollar steel plant.
A former graduate Of the college of
engineering at the University, who
was secretary of the War Industries
Board during the war, now a broker
on Wall Street, is associated with a
number Of men who are opening up
discarded gold mines in China and
Africa. No more brilliant field has
ever been offered to the young men of
this country than that of engineering
at the present time.
The work in engineering is con-
lstructive, stimulating, remunerative,
and brings happiness to men who fol-
low it, for the reason that no man can
be successful engineer without be-
ing an optimist, and optimism is the
mother of happiness.
The University of Kentucky has for
background a distinguished engi-
neering alumni. Men who have gone
into the industrial centers and are to-
day leaders in engineering thought.
No man who ever graduates from the
University of Kentucky will ever have
to look for a position, for every man
is placed Immediately upon gradua-
ton.
For thirty years men have been
graduated from the University of
Kentucky in engineering, and at the
present time there is not a single man
unemployed, And in addition to these
hundreds fgraduates, there are over
two thousand undergraduates who are
making a good living.
If young man is not able to COM
plete his college course, at the end of
one year he Is a good craftsman, at the
end of two years he is good mechanic
and still better craftsman, and at
the end of three years he has foun-
dation in engineering and Is a good
designer At the end of four years he
has an intellectual equipment that will
make him a leader in the engineering
world.
The University of Kentucky is ready
to service the youth of Kentucky. The
conditions of admission are graduation
from high aschool, although in spe-
cial cases young men are taken In to
be given special instruction In me-
chanical drawing and shop processes.
There is every indication that the
year 1920 at the University of Ken
lucky will be unprecedented as far
as attendance in the Engineering Col
lege is concerned.
Kentucky is destined to be one of
the great manufacturing states Of the
Union, for the reasons, first, Kentucky
has so much valuable territory for
the establishment of Industries: sec
ond, Kentucky has so much wealth in
coal, timber, oil, clay, and limestone.
Third. Kentucky is centrally located.
For this last reason alone she is de-
stined to become one of the foremost
manufacturing states of the Union.
Kentucky should be developed by
Kentucky engineers. After a young
man graduates from the University of
and has FEW years exper-
