Application should be made for these scholarships to the President of the College not later than September the first. William F. Hoffman Scholarships Boy Scout Scholarships In addition to these general scholarships the Board of Trustees of the College have granted two scholarships, the recipients to be chosen by the Newark Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Henry J. Ruesch Scholarships In memory of Henry J. Ruesch two scholarships have been donated, the recipients to be graduates of the Newark Technical School. Herbert P. Gleason Scholarships By the will of Herbert P. Gleason seven scholarships are available for young men of character and ability. STUDENT LIFE The aim of the College is to train and educate earnest and industrious students along technical lines. This is the first and the supreme duty of the College; all other activities are secondary. The professional departments expect student participation in the activities of the student branches of the national professional engineering societies. The Faculty recognizes the importance of social and athletic activities if properly co-ordinated with the more serious work of instruction. ATHLETICS In common with some of the better technical institutions in the country the College does not support a varsity football or baseball team. The athletic activities are designed to interest the average student and to develop _him_ rather than to overdevelop a small group. Varsity competition in basketball, fencing, tennis and track athletics is encouraged, and the College each year puts teams into the field. DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Professor H. N. Cummings Assoc. Prof. W. S. La Londe Asst. Prof. O. P. L. Albert Asst. Prof. J. M. Robbins Asst. Prof. R. W. Van Houten Mr. F. A. Busse Mr. D. C. Frost Mr. W. J. Hoffman The Civil Engineering course is planned to prepare young men for municipal engineering work, highway work, construction work, or work in the general field of scientific management. Because of the temporary slowing down of work in the civil engineering field, during recent years, streets, highways, water supply and sewage disposal systems, bridges, etc. have become seriously run-down or inadequate. Trained young men will be needed in the near future to take part in the repair, replacement, or enlargement of these necessities. The trend toward large sectional projects, sponsored by the federal government, indicates another field of opportunity for young men trained in civil engineering.
