WORK TO RESUME AT
SCHOOL OF MINES

Montana School of Mines will resume
its regular freshman engineering course
starting November /, it was announced
by Dean A. E. Adami, vice president Of
the school.
Resumption Of the course for civilian
students has been made possible, Dean
Adami said, through general curtailment
in quotas of all Navy VIZ units in the
nation. The school took up the acceler-
ated Navy VIZ training course as a
contribution to the nations war effort
in July of 1913. Reduction Of the num-
Der of Navy Viz students to be enrolled
for the next term, which starts Novem-
Der 1, makes it possible for the Butte
school to offer its regular first-year en-
cheering study.
"A large enrolment is not anticipated
at this tine Dean Adami said, but
sufficient inquiries have been received
at the school from Montana students and
from out-of-state students to justify re-
sumption of the freshman engineering
studies. II there is sufficient demand
later it may be that work will be offered
also in the upper branches of the en-
cheering course"
Graduates from accredited high
schools r other preparatory institutions
are eligible for enrolment in the fresh
man engineering course.
The requirements for admission pro-
vide that applicants must be at least Is
years Of age and must present evidence
of good moral character. The COM
pletion Of a high school or preparatory
course of four years is the standard. This
requirement for entrance must include
at least Is units Of work. A unit is the
amount Of work represented by the sue
cessful completion of one subject pur-
sued Fl a school year Of not less than
SO weeks, with Rotations per week,
each recitation period being not less
THAN 4 minutes net. Two periods Of
laboratory, shop, or drawing work count
as one recitation.
Students enrolling as freshmen must
offer three units Of English, one unit of
American history and government, and
at least two other units from each Of the
following groups:
ca Mathematics Algebra, plane and
solid geometry, tr%igonometry, general
mathematics.
OBJ History and Social sciIlce:
Greek, Roman, Medieval, Modern, or
English history, ciyics, community civics,
economics, SOCIOLOGY, citizenship, econ
omic or industrial history.
90 Laboratory Science: Physic S
chemistry, botany, zoology, biology, ply
sioldgy, agriculturN astronmy, geology,
photography, general science.
D) Foreign languages: Two units Of
fered in satisfaction of this requirement
must be in one language.
The attention of freshmen enrolling
in engineering is directed to the fact that
lone and One-half units Of algebra, one
and one-half units of geometry, and one
unit of either chemistry or physics is
ficient in solid geometry will be requir-
ed for admission. Students deficient in
solid geometry will be required to enroll
in mathematics five, a sub-freshman
course, for which credit toward the de-
gree is not given.
Dean Adami urged all students plan
ming enrolment in the freshman course
to submit their transcript records at
an early date. Enrolment must be COM
pleted by November /.
