OLEY FAVORS LONGER ENGINEERING
COURSES IN ADDES T ST. LOUiS

Advocates Five or Six Year Term In
All American UnI-
versities.
PRESENT TRAINING IS TOO
TECHNICAL, HE DECLARES,
Lengthening of engineering courses
in all American universities from the
present four-year term to five or six
years was advocated by Dean Morti-
mer E. Cooley, of the engineering col-
lege, in an address this week at Wash-
ington university, St. Louis.
Referring to the engineer as "the
one factor in our present day life who
is fitted by training and experience
to prolong the life of our civiliza-
tion," Dean Cooley said the one defect
in the present method of training en-
gineers is that the course of study is
too technical and restricted and does
not cover a sufficient range of gen-
eral information.
"The engineer turned out of the
schools 40 years ago had a much
broader groundwork of education and
culture than the present product of
the engineering schools," he said.
"and the only remedy would be to
lengthen the course by one or two
years so as to afford time for the
study of other things besides thertech-
nicalities of engineering."
Dean Cooley said the engineer
should be made conversant with the
-history of all time to give hna proper
perspective and to show him how and
why various civilizations have risen,
run their course, and died. He sug-
gested also the study of English and
one other modern language, preferably
Spanish, knowledge of which is desir-
able, he said, if the United States is
to increase. its export trade.
He also would have the engineering
course include at least a groundwork
in geology, biology and astronomy.
TEN REMAIN IN
DEBATE TRYOUTS
Ten contestants out of the seventeen
tryouts for places on the Varsity de-
bating team, which will represent the
University in the Mid West debate
which takes place on March 17, were
successful in maintaIiing their posi-
tions on ths squad in the semi-final
tryout which took place Saturday
morning.
The ten students who are now mem-
bers of the debating squad are: K. F.
Clardy, '24, P. Elliott, '22, J. B. Glas-
gow, '23, G. Gower, '22, F. A. Green-
baum, '22, Olive Lockwood, '22, R. A.
MacFarland, '23, Yone Moriya, '23, F.
J. Ortman, '23 and 9. W. Rush, '22.
When fortified by such general
knowledge, he said, the engineer
would no longer be a mere technician
in his particular branch of a great pro-
fession, but would be a man of broad
culture whose knowledge of history,
and the, viewpoints of other civiliza-
tions, past and present, would greatly
increase his efficiency.
Dean Cooley made St. Louis his first
stop on a tour of the country in the
interest of the Federated American
Engineering societies. This is a con-
tinuation of the work laid down by
Herbert Hoover when he entered the
cabinet.
The Dean made two other addresses
,n St. Louis, one before the members
of the St. Louis club, and the other
to members of the Associated Engin-
eering societies of that city.
FRESHIMEN WILL
FORM ORCHESTRA
Organization of a freshman orches-
tra will be effected at a meeting ofj
tryouts at which all freshmen who
play orchestra instruments are asked
to come at 7 o'clocknext Wednesday
evening in room 308 of the Union.
Many requests have been received for
the Union to organize another orches-
tra similar to the freshman orchestra
I of last year in which 25 places were/
filled by first year men.
Martin ten Hoor, instructor in Eng-
lish in the engineering college, who
has had considerable experience in
directing, will be the leader. The
Union's music library is complete,
containing everything from operas to
string quartette numbers.
The freshmen organization will give
its members experience in orchestra
work, and will serve partly as a train-
ing school for the Union orchestra.
