Hughes Talbert, ENGINEERING SCHOOL AT MARYLAND GROWS Enrollment Nearly Doubled Since 1919, Now Totaling 203 in Three Branches. COURSES ARE REVISED Brought Up to Standard Required by New York Regents. From a Staff Correspondent. COLLEGE PARK, Md, January 12. —THe College of Engineering of the University of Maryland is making rapid advance, its enrollment having nearly doybled since 1919. In that ;n year there were only 108 in the col- [1eze, while the enrollment now totals 203. Three branches of engineering— civil, electrical and mechanical—are taught. , A. N. Johnson, dean of the college, is one of the best known en- gineers in the country. Since:coming to Maryland he has served as presi- dent of the National Association of Engineers, attesting to his promi- nence and ability. ‘The courses of the Engineering Col- lege have been thoroughly revised and brought to the standard of engi- neering colleges generally through- out the country. as indicated by the fact that it iy duly registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York as meeting all requirements p ibed by that board for a standard engineering curricu- lum. The college places particular emphasis on the relation of the en- gineer to public service. The students in englneering at Maryland _enjoy the benefits that come from close co-operation with the United States bureau of public roads artmen: of Agricul- ture and with the state road commis- sion of Maryland, Various research projects under way, including trailic studies and investigation of concrete used in the state roads, Samples have been taken from all of the state highwavs by means of a cors drill apparatus and very ex- haustive lahoratory tests made upon the specimens so obtained. All of these results are being cowpiled into a bulietin o ration with these agencies 4 made It possible for the izineering College to recelve much war material of great variety of equipment, which has been exceed- Ingly useful; in value it totals $21,000. In addition 'the department has’ re ceived donations of apparatus of va- rious kinds from individuals during the past two vears totaling more than $10.000 The advisory board on highway re- search of the Natlonal Research Council. which is organized under the National A of Sclences, has outlin nded program of every phase of nt. The research rsity of Maryland @ part of this larger program. toward which all highway commis- arious state universities and s branches of the government are contributing. It can be readily understood that work of this ehar- acter furnishes not only inspiration instructors but adds much that is of educational value to the student. The student body maintains an en- glneering society which holds regular meetings, in which great interest has been shown and much benefit derived. There has also been established an honorary engineering fraternity, founded upon the ideals and require- ments of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering fraternity. d 4t the Univ Through the courtesy of H. H. Balkam, @ member of the class of 1917, the electrical engineering de- partment has received several stand- ard lighting units of various types and a number of photographs filus- trating the advantages of proper il- lumination for storcrooms and fac- department also has received a display panel, showing the rious manufacture of storage batterv.

The me Was one of combat and factics and the fleld and staff lost by & slight margin, Company C seems to have one of Central's _best teams this year and It is certain that if this company wins out in the finals the teams from the other high schools will have a worthy opponent. i Class debating in most of the Eng- lish classes has become a prominent part of the work at Central. A great deal of time has been taken up since school started with these debates. Such questions as “The Soldiers Bonus,” “The Independence of the Philippines,” “The District Suffrage” and others of national and interna. tional importance have been debate upon. These debates are popular with the students. | COLUMBIA JUNIORS GET PLEASING TREAT The painted caves of France and Spain were described to puplls of the Columbia Junior High School last week by Miss Mary Boyle of the University of Scotland.

Business High Schooi is preparing for the new students who are to be enrolled in February, but every onc is wondering where the additional pupils will be put. There is at pres- ent no room in school; sections are seated in laboratories; teacher-pupil conferences are held in the office, in the halls—any place where there may possibly be some space: classrooms are hopelessly overcrowded—and all this with a two-shift system. And now every one is asking, “‘Where are you gomng to put the additional ones, whom we're so happy to welcome?" . £ | The local interscholastic basket ball series has started, and promises much for Business, if the school Is to | judge by the showing the team made in the preliminary contest. _ On Thursday at the Coliseum the Busi- ! net quintet met the strong Mount St. Joseph’s team from Baltimore, and in a hotly contested battle, which extended to three extra periods, Busi- ness came out the victor. Again in the recent game with the Catholic University freshmen, Business made a creditable showing. Almost all of the preliminary games in which the Orange and Blue squad has engaged have been with teams beyond the high school class, and at all time: it_has proved itself a credit to the school. These contests should put the team in excellent condition for its debut Saturday agalnst Central. An interesting feature of this years team is that it is largely made up of newly developed material last yvear's squad Connor, the strongest men, are missing. Capt. Furman is the only regular| on hand. Mudd, Clark, Saysky and | Koontz are fighting it' out for the forward positions with Furman and Libby as guards and Watt and Moser alternating at center, February graduation will take out Watt, Libby and Koontz and their places will have to. be filled by new men. A junior! team I working out in preparation for games with the other high school | teams. i The semester series which creates enthusiasm each year will be started Soon and a schedule is now being drawn up. The Girls' Friendship Club of Busi- ness High School has arranged its| meetings so that each weekly meet- ing of the month is devoted to a sin- gle subject. One meeting Is set aside | for business, one for social service. one for discussions, and one for social work. By following this program the Friendship Club expects to have a very successful year. The girls of the Friendship Club are looking forward to the supper to be glven at the Blue Triangle, Friday. | Members of the Friendship Club of each high school attend these sup- pers. This will be the second Friend- ship supper this year. ROLLS AT HOWARD U. | INCREASE IN WINTER President Addresses Students at First Vesper Service of New Year.
