This change, which will take effect next year, will have the result of increasing the number of fields of engineering in which men may specialize during their undergraduate course at the Engineering School from seven to nine. Already the school has programs of study in civil, mechanical, electrical, and sanitary engineering, in mining, metallurgy, and industrial chemistry. Now students will also be given an opportunity to undertake a special course of work in electric communication so as to fit them for the wide opportunities in the telegraph, telephone, and radio-telegraphic industries, and for research and invention in the whole...
Heretofore the sanitary engineering program at the University, as well as in the other universities and technical schools, has followed the civil engineering program except that certain engineering subjects have been omitted and courses have been substituted in qualitative and quantitative chemistry, organic chemistry, bacteriology, water and sewage analysis, and the like. An attempt to cover both the engineering and chemical branches in four years has tended to keep the instruction elementary. Now there will be an opportunity for more advanced instruction through the distinction between city engineers on the one hand, and sanitary chemists on the other...
According to the new plan, which will be inaugurated in June and will apply to the instruction in mechanical, electrical, civil, sanitary, and municipal engineering, every student who wishes to take the industrial training work will spend half his time during his junior year working in industrial or engineering plants within easy reach of Cambridge. A schedule has been arranged which will enable these men to secure the full amount of regular classroom instruction and also to spend three separate periods of two months each in the industrial work...
Great Britain and France, it is alleged, are compelled by the sentiment of their Mohammedan colonies to protect the Sultan. But a large part of the Mohammedan world regards the Sultan as a usurper, and renounces all allegiance, civil or religious, to the Ottoman Empire. Mohammedan troops from India and Algeria fought not only against those Germans, but also against those of their own faith. When Mecca passed out of the power of the Turk, not a murmur was heard; yet Mecca, far more than Constantinople, has always been regarded as the center of Islam...
...university, or else must be teachers of extended experience holding high-grade certificates from some state of the Union. Teachers of English are usually assigned to upper grade work in grammar schools and should be prepared to teach the following subjects: English reading and grammar, arithmetic, American history, civil government, geography, physiology, music, drawing, and free-arm system of writing. A knowledge of Spanish is not necessary, but it is a valuable asset. The salary is $90 a month for the term of term months beginning for the year 1920-21 on August 30 and closing June 17. Only American...
