Show SCHOOL OF MINES AND ENGINEERING With the aid of two new buildings and the finest modern equipment the School of Mines and Engineering has been able to increase greatly its enrollment, and place itself as a leading school in this field. Under the able leadership of Richard B. Ketchum the senior engineers are being graduated with high scholarship ratings and an ability to enter responsible positions with training and experience equal to that of any graduating engineers in the west. The United States Bureau of Mines, as an important division of the Interior, carries on research and assay work on the campus. Also, through the co-operation of the Federal Government, General Electric, and others, the school is able to furnish positions for a certain number of graduating seniors. The two professors of the School of Mines and Engineering holding the highest degrees are E. H. Beckstrand and Robert S. Lewis. Elias Hyrum Beckstrand (1902) - Professor of Mechanical Engineering. B. S. (E. E.), 1900, Michigan; M. M. E. 1901, Cornell. Robert S. Lewis (1912) - Professor of Mining and Milling. B. A. in Mining Engineering, 1905, and E. M., 1912. Page One Hundred Three |
