Show Nineteen TwelveU TO NI A NThe University of UtahPresident J. T. KingsburyWITHIN the last four or five years the University of Utah has forged to the front. Its requirements for admission are now equal to those of the best institutions in the United States. Its requirements for graduation in the liberal arts, in science, in education, and in the various engineering courses are equal to those of the best institutions of our country, i'he entrance requirement to the School of Medicine is a four-year high school course and in addition two years of college work.The War Department of the General Government has put our engineering school on its accredited list, our best universities accept the work done by the School of Arts and Science and the best medical schools will give credit for the work done in our Medical School. In fact, our Medical School is put in the first class by Dr- Flexner, an agent of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. So far as undergraduate work counts, for which the bachelor's degree is given, such work is as well given in the University of Utah as in any other institution. (The courses offered, the work and the methods pursued in the Normal School or School of Education, have been highly commended by the leading professors in the field of education of this country and Canada. The highest kind of commendation of the Normal School work comes from the Secretary of the commission appointed by the Canadian Government to investigate school work throughout this and other countries.All the work given by the University of Utah is up to standard.No young man or woman, therefore, needs to go away for a college education in the various engineering, arts and science and normal courses, and for the first two-year course in medicine ; for, these courses are all given with as great efficiency and thoroughness as they are given in any other universities of the United States.The faculty of the University of Utah is made up of men up-to-date in methods of teaching and the matter they present to the students. The apparatus and appliances are ample. It is, therefore, simply with the student himself as to whether he will secure as good a college education at home as elsewhere.15 |
