1910 Utonian '10 junior year book |
Note |
The University of Utah has made former and current yearbooks from various campus entities available in print and via its digital library archive. These documents contain facts and milestones about the history of the University of Utah. In some cases, these publications contain insensitive and offensive language and imagery that does not represent the views or values of the University of Utah. Insensitive and offensive portrayals of race and gender were wrong at the time these publications were originally printed, and they are wrong today. The yearbooks are presented as they were originally created and have not been edited or censored-to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices and biases never existed. - July 2019 |

Show The Utah Engineer HY any student fails to take the engineering course is a mystery. No course in the University offers more inducements and it may help some future student to enumerate some of these enticements. In the freshman year a thorough course in shop work prepares the embryo engineer for making such useful and intricate things as tooth brush holders and napkin rings A year in drawing enables one to make a first class drawing of an alphabet with the aid of two instructors and seventy-five dollars worth of instruments. A splendid course in English enables one to write to papa for money without hurting papa's feelings or his own conscience. In the sophomore year the student finds out how to mix up a mixture of chemicals that will cause the atmosphere in the Library building to turn putrid on April 1st. Another mixture is guaranteed to send the professors through the skylights. One can also determine the chemical composition of a mineral merely by the aid of an assayer. Besides all this, Mr. Lyman teaches the simple art of making patterns for bath tubs and stove pipes-a very useful art for an engineer; to possess. Then, too, a sophomore with a book and a mineral cabinet can determine the names of such difficult specimens as pyrite and azurite. The Junior year is very instructive. Here it is that the art of giving proms and making year books is taken up. Also, a Junior can figure the breaking strength of a five-dollar bill and the squeezing force of cantilever and other arms. Then they find out the number of eye lashes on fossils that lived 1,000,242,586,277 centuries ago. But the Senior year is the climax. A Senior can figure the amount of pressure to make a steam engine loop the loop, but they pay no attention to such trivial matters as operating an engine. They know so much geology that they can determine the amount of dividends the Missouri zinc mines will pay in 1921. They can design mills to concentrate ore or to concentrate minds. Say! why doesn't everybody take the engineering course?(126) |
