ENGINEERS7 COLLEGE
ENROLLMENT
Only 300 Freshmen to be
Admitted Beginning
Next September. .
Because of the limited classroom
and laboratory facilities, more no
ticeable with the great increase in
enrollment of recent years, Dean
O. J. Ferguson of the college of
engineering announced an admin
istrative order establishing a max
Imum freshmen enrollment in the
college of engineering of 300 be
ginning next September. The
cilities available and the number
of instructors make it impossible
adequately to handle a larger num
ber, according to the dean. Since
sophomore engineers now have
drawing classes as well as first
year students, in definitely limited
room space, officials concluded
that the only way out was to re
strict the size of the freshman
class.
Freshmen desiring to enter the
college of engineering will be se
lected according to their high
school scholastic ratings. Students
ranking in the upper three-fourths
of their class will find no diffi
culty in entering. Applicants from
the lowest quarter will be accepted
within the established limit only as
they present a promising outlook
based upon the following consider
ations:
1. Adequacy of entrance requirements,
2. Remits of classification tests In Eng
lish and mathematics.
3. Rcrults of phycholoRical test.
Students who rank in the upper
three-quarters of their high school
class will be registered Sept. 14
and 15, while those in the lowest
quartile will wait until Sept. 15
This new ruling does not inhibit
a Btudent from enrolling in another
college of the university for which
he may be qualified. It does, how
ever, restrict him from registering
for any of the freshman engineer
ing courses.
The dean said there are already
registered between 30 and 40 stu
dents, including those who have
been taking part time work and
those who registered the second se
mester, who will be classed as
freshmen next fall. This number
will be a part of the total of 300
