THE MICHIGA4 DAI Y .+w w w urrYr OLEY FAVORS LONGER ENGINEERING COURSES IN ADDES T ST. LOUiS *T 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. Lost something?
