The first course in mechanical en-
gineering in the United States was
established at this University in De-
cember, 1863, records show. However,
in 1870, the degree of Mechanical
Engineer was abolished, and the de-
gree of Civil Engineer was given to
all graduates. Consequently no one
was ever graduated at that time with
the degree in Mechanical Fnginecr-,
ing.
In 1837, by an act of the State
government, theUniversity was pro-
vided with a course in civil engineer-
ing. It was not until 1853 that a
professorship was created, and at
that time Prof. Alexander Winchell
was appointed to the chair of physics
and civil engineering.
He was succeededgby Maj. W. G.I

No Dean Until 1895
Until 1895 there was no dean in
the school; the course in engineeringj
was a department in the literary
college. In 1895 the Regents created
the College of Engineering, and Mr.
Green was made dean. At the death
of Dean Green in 1903, Mortimer E.
Cooley became dean and remained'
until 1928, when he resigned. Dean
Sadler has been in his position since
1928.
The University of Michigan was
the earliest of all state universities
to engage in engineering, and for
this reason other state universities
have naturally looked to Michigan
when they estbalished similar courses
of their own.
Engineering courses in the early
days were carried on with the aid of
conparatively few text books. The
total amount of strict engineering
training was probably equivalent to
les than one year of the technical
work now carried on in the College
of ngineerin. This work was spnfeadI
Confidentially closeted with the
physician, he will lean forward with
painful agitation depicted on his
countenance and confess, "Doctor,
I have bad breath."
Many University students are thus
victimized by the modern patent
medicine advertising. Doctors say
a touch of halitosis may be brought
on by anything from constipation to
too many cigarettes, but the average
person is led to purchase drugs
rather than correct the source of his
trouble by medical consultation.
In many cases the ailment is just'
a passing touch, but there will al-
ways be a few misguided souls who
will slink down back streets to the'
drug store to purchase a dollar's
worth of patent medicines. The sad
part of it is that even "their best
friends" can't convince them that
they are merely victims of their own=
imaginations and psychological ad-
vertising.

Meetings To Be Held In
Union; Dean Kraus Is
To Be Chairman
Authorities in the fields of medi-
cine, dentistry, chemistry, botany,
and economics will be heard at the
second annual Pharmaceutical Con-
ference sponsored by the College of
Pharmacy and the May meeting of
the Detroit branch of the American
Pharmaceutical Association, to be
held here jointly Thursday, May 11-,
according to program announce-
ments.
Meeting of the conference during
the day will be held in the Union,
with Dean Edward H. Kraus of the
pharmacy school acting ,aschairman.
The Detroit group is t hold a din-
ner in the Union, followed by an eve-
ning meeting in Natural Science Au-
ditorium, it was announced.
President Alexander . Ruthven
will deliver the address of welcome
at the morning session, beginning at
10:30 a. m. Other talks at that time
will be "Drug Addiction, a World
Problem," by Dr. Charles W. Ed-
munds of the Medical School, and
"The Present Banking Situation," by
Prof. Leonard L. Watkins of the eco-
nomics department. A luncheon willj
be held at 12:30 p. m.I
Dr. Russell W. Bunting of the
School of Dentistry will open the
afternoon meeting, beginning at 2
p. in., with a lecture on "The Pres-
ent Status of Our Knowledge Con-
cerning the Control of the Decay of
the Teeth." Dr. Howard B. Lewis of
the Medical School will speak on
"Recent Advances in Vitamins and
Hormones," while "Medical Eco-
nomic Problems" is to be the topic
of Dr. Nathan Sinai of the Medical
School.
The afternoon will close with a
tour of inspection of the College of
Pharmacy and other University build--,
ings.
Prof. Carl D. LaRue of the botany
department will address the eve-
ning session, speaking on "Observa-
tions on Drug Collecting in the Trop-
ics. The lecture, to be held at 8 p. in.,
will be preceded by a short business
meeting for members of the De-
troit branch. Oflicers will be elected
at this time.
Skating Craze Results
In Fractured Wrists
From all available information on
accidents that have befallen the
members of the army of student
skaters which has held full sway
over the Diagonal and most other
campus walks during the last few
afternoons and evenings, it is evident
that only the most competent, or
perhaps the most cautious, have so
far ventured forth. From the Health
Service, Dr. Nelson M. Smith reports
only five so far treated, and Dr. Wil-
liam M. Brace the same number. The
wrist seems to be the most vulner-
able portion of the body. There were
two sprained wrists and two frac-
tured. The others to receive treat-
ment met with slight abrations and
lacerations.
Health Group
To Hold June
Meeting Here
At. the invitation of the Summer
Session, the seventh Health Educa-
tion Conference of the American
Child Health Association, New York
has been scheduled foi June 20 to 24
in Ann Arbor.
Dr. John M. Sundwall, director of
the division of hygiene and public
health, has been announced as gen-
eral chairman and is'making all local
ararngements. The last conference
of this type was held in 1930.
All phases of school health that
have arisen during the last three
years will be discussed at this time.
according to the plans. The discus-
sion is to focus on a few problems of
basic importance to the efforts being
made by the school, the home, and
the community to improve the gen-
eral health of the school child.
Discussions in the past have re-
sulted in the publishing of reports
that are widely distributed and of
much value hi the olving of similar
problems in other places, it is said,
TO PRESENT NEW PLAN
Plans for the reorganization of
student government will be presented
to the University Council by the
Senate Committee on Student Rela-
tions May 8, it was announced yes-
erday by Prof. Arhur S. Aiton, of the
history department, chairman of the
committee.
Preparations for the Fortieth An-
nual May Festival to be held here
May 17, 18. 19, and 20 are well on
their way to completion. Dr. Charles
A. Sink, president of the School of
Music, declared yesterday.
More than 30,000 announcements
of the program are being mailed to
music patrons throughout the State
as well as to many more in every part
of the country, he said.
Howard Hanson, composer of the
opera "Merry Mount," which will be
presented for the first time at the
Saturday evening concert, will arrive
here Sunday, May 14, to conduct per-
sonally the University Choral Union
in rehearsals during the remainder of
the week.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra
will arrive Wednesday morning for
rehearsals with various stars who
will be featured as soloists with the
orchestra, President Sink said.
Reservations for the principals in
the concerts will be made at the
Union and League.
A platform a foot and a half high
and extending out into the audito-
rium about eight feet will soon be
constructed, it was said.wAsemi-cir-
cular amphitheatre facing the audi-
ence will be formed for members of
the chorus.
Wood Carvings Of Auto
Designers To Be Showni
CHICAGO, April 22.-The crafts-
men of the nation's largest industry,
automobile manufacturing, are typi-
fied at last in six life-size carvings
just completed by the widely known
Swedish-American sculptor, C a r 1
Halltshammer. The statues, which
are in the unique rough finish char-
acteristic of Halltshammar's works,
have been placed in the General
Motors Building for exhibition dur-
ing the Century of Progress Inter-
national Exposition here. They will
be on public view after June 1.
The figures are carved from large
blocks of laminated pine with mallet
and chisel and painted in life-like
colors. The figures are regarded as
unusually true to life by those famil-
iar with the automobile factory oper-
ations in which they are depicted.
IHalltshamnmar, now a resident of
Chicago, has attracted wide atten-
Lion both in Europe and America
during the past few years with his
unique type of realistic art.

citizens' councils for constructive
economy, it was announced yester-
day. The committee i composed of
representatives of numerous national
organizations for the development of
the cultural and social activities of
government.
Establishment of loal Ci tiens
councils throughout the country to

When Beaumont was transferredj
to Niagara, N. Y., St. Martin accom-
panied him. From there they went
to Burlington, Vt., and Plattsburgh.
N. Y.
In 1833, Beaumon4 published a
book giving the experiments and ob-
servations on St. Martin. The meet-
ing last week was to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of this con-
tribution to science.
Various other experiments on St.
Martin's "hooded stomach" were
made by Beaumont until he died in
1853. St. Martin died in 1880 at the
age of 83 years.
Beaumont's work on the digestive
system is said by many medical au-
thorities to be the most important in
the history of early American med-
icine.
Dr. Lewis says of Beaumont, "It is
true that Dr. Beaumont's observa-
tions did not lead to any revolution-
ary discoveries, but he settled finally
many of the controversial specula-
tions upon digestion which were ab-
sorbing the energies of the physi-
ologists a century ago and founded
the basis of our modern knowledge of
functional gastric disorders."

An archery-golf tournament is
planned for 7 p. in., May 10, in
which there may be two participants
from each house. Nine targets are
placed fiat on the ground and the
game is played as in golf, proceding
from one to the other. The skill lies
in shooting into the air at the angle
necessary to cover the distance.
A qualifying score for the first nine
holes of the Michigan golf course
should be turned in to Miss Marie
Hartwig at Barbour gymnasium or
Jane Brucker, '35, before Wednes-
day night. Handicap tournaments
for beginners, intermediates, and
advanced will then be arranged.
Everyone interested in signing for
the tennis tournaments in singles,
doubles, or mixed doubles must do so
at Palmer Field House by Monday
night, April 24.-The draw will be

the succeeding Legibaiture failed to
nuke an appropriation in 1879, so
the courses were dropped. However,
an occasional degree in Mining En-
gineering was given..
Re-Established In 1881
In 1881 the course in mechanical
engineering was re-established. Dur-
ing the '80's courses in electrical en-
gineering were installed. Soon after
this, inauguration courses in chemi-
cal, marine and still later aeronauti-
cal engineering were also installed.
At present there are courses in
civil, mechanical, electrical, chemi-
cal, and aeronautical engineering.
Marine and naval architecture, ge-
odesy and surveying, engineering me-
chanics, physics, astronomy, mathe-
matics.
In 1928 provision was made to al-
low students specializing in astron-
omy, physics, mathematics, and en-
gineering mechanics to qualify for
the degree of Bachelor of Science iii
Engineering.
-The most recent addition to the
College of Engineering curriculum is
the combined engineering-law course,
which requires three years of en-I
gineering and one of law. Also it is
possible for an engineer to obtain
not only his degree of Bachelor of
Science in Engineering but also a
certificate for teaching.
