Civil Engineers Have Need
Of Cultured Backgrounds

Civil engineers need a broader
cultural background, Prof. Robert
B. Harris, engineering college,
said.
To fill this need, the Univer-
sity is now offering a five-year
combined program of courses in
the engineering and literary col-
leges, he said.
He said the civil engineer, de-
signer and builder of bridges,
dams and highways, frequently
deals with people who know little
about the demands of engineer-
Ing,

When dealing with these people,
Prof. Harris said "the civil engi-
neer frequently feels the-need for
more background in thehhumani-
ties and liberal arts than that
generally offered in a regular
four-year civil engineering cur-
riculum.
The combined curricula in-
cludes courses in languages, liter-
ature ,fine arts, philosophy and
history, besides the required
courses in science and engineer-
ing..
