|HIS College was placed on an independent basis in 1878, and for thirty-three years has continued to grow until it is now the leading College of the Kentucky State University. Not only does this Department rank above many Technical Schools of the United States, but is of equal standing with the leading Engineering Colleges of the country, which fact is proven by the A. S. M. E. and the A. I. E. E. allowing branches to be established at this Institution. Furthermore, the B. M. E.'s from Kentucky State University are given preference over graduates from other noted Mechanical Engineering Schools in regard to engineering positions. This Department can boast of more students than any other Department of the University. Its laboratories are thoroughly equipped with all the latest apparatus.
In the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are taught three important subjects, namely: Si earn Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanics. The course is designed to give the student a foundation upon which he can Iniild success. Not many years ago a boy might start in as an oiler and become an engineer. Today, things are-different, and this Department meets the demands of the times. Today is the time of science and invention, the time of steam and electricity. The world is experiencing a remarkable growth along these lines.   The successful man in any line
must have a broad foundation before coming in contact with these changed conditions. The design of this College is to teach the student the fundament a I principles of engineering. This course, as might be supposed, is not all professionalism, but a great pari is devoted to culture, since English Literature, Logic, English and American History. French, German, Latin and other such subjects are included in the course of study. Also, the Junior Class makes annually a trip through Ohi
ano
Senior
Class visits Purdue and Chicago.
