THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING OF PRINCE- 

 TON UNIVERSITY 



The trustees of Princeton University have 

 planned to enlarge its school of engineering, 

 giving courses in civil engineering, electrical 

 engineering, mechanical engineering, chem- 

 ical engineering and mining engineering. 

 These courses will extend over four years, at 

 the end of which time the bachelor's degree 

 will be given. A fifth year will be required 

 for an engineering degree. The plan of the 

 school is one which will not compete with those 

 of engineering schools giving a four-yteax 

 course, the intention being to make each of 

 the courses mentioned such that the student 

 will secure sufficient engineering training in 

 four years to become an assistant to an engi- 

 neer, and so be seK-supporting, and in addi- 

 tion receive a thorough grounding in physics, 

 chemistry, mathematics, languages, literature, 

 philosophy, economics and sociology to give 

 him a broad outlook on everyday problems. 

 The endeavor will be to make an engineer 

 rather than a specialist. The fifth year is to 

 be devoted primarily to engineering subjects, 

 including certain courses in engineering eco- 

 nomics and possibly a limited amount of re- 

 search. Professor Arthur M. Greene, Jr., 

 of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has 

 been called to become the dean of the new 

 school and professor of mechanical engineer- 

 ing; he will take up his duties in the fall of 

 1922. Professor Greene has served as manager 

 and vice-president of the American Society of 

 Mechanical Engineers and at present is chair- 

 man of the research committee of the society, 

 a member of the Boiler Code Committee and 

 chairman of its Special Committee on Steam 

 Piping. He is one of the society's representa- 

 tives on the Engineering Division of the Na- 

 tional Research Council and on the Executive 

 Board of the Federated American Engineer- 

 ing Societies.
