Show ORIN A. TUGMAN Chairman of the Committe in Charge of the School of Mines and EngineeringThe School of cMines and Engineering,n^HE School of Mines and Engineering undertakes to train its students in the courses of study and thought that theoretically and practically underlie the great structure of engineering practice. Attainment of this purpose requires a curriculum which brings together the laws of nature, especially of the physical sciences, and of mathematics so that conclusions in the realm of science shall be stated in mathematical language. For this reason the Engineering School has always laid great stress on the preparatory work in mathematics. So, and in conformity with the best practice of our leading en-gineering schools, the School of Mines and Engineering has recently raised its standards for entrance in mathematics.The Engineering Experiment Station, which has heretofore concentrated its efforts and study more in the field of metallurgy, is now enlarging its activity and research into many other problems of industrial interest. It is establishing its own library in the new mining building, where all of the books of scientific, engineering, and industrial interest will be collected for the direct use of engineering and research scholars in the intermountainregion.Orin A.
