CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY<br />
various branches of engineering. This course shall include the same<br />
cultural studies as does the engineering course, and in addition, instruction<br />
in the German and French languages. Its purpose will be<br />
to provide a collegiate education which, when followed by one or<br />
more years of graduate study, will best train the creative type of<br />
scientist or engineer so urgently needed in our educational, governmental,<br />
and industrial development, and which will most effectively<br />
fit able students for positions in the research and development departments<br />
of manufacturing and transportation enterprises.<br />
(5) Fifth-year courses leading to the degree of Master of Science<br />
shall be offered in the sciences of physics, astrophysics, mathematics,<br />
chemistry, geology, geophysics, paleontology, and biology. A considerable<br />
proportion of the time of these courses shall be devoted to<br />
research. These will continue the training for the types of professional<br />
positions above referred to.<br />
(6) Throughout the period of undergraduate study every effort<br />
shall be made to develop the character, ideals, breadth of view, general<br />
culture, and physical well-being of the students of the Institute. To<br />
this end the literary, historical, economic, and general scientific subjects<br />
shall continue to be taught by a permanent staff of men of<br />
mature judgment and broad experience; the regular work in these<br />
subjects shall be supplemented by courses of lectures given each year<br />
by men of distinction from other institutions; and the weekly assemblies,<br />
addressed by leading men in the fields of education, literature,<br />
art, science, engineering, public service, commerce, and industry,<br />
shall be maintained as effectively as possible. Moderate participation<br />
of all students in student activities of a social, literary, or artistic<br />
character, such as student publications, debating and dramatic clubs,<br />
and musical clubs, shall be encouraged; and students shall be required<br />
to take regular exercise, preferably in the form of intramural games<br />
or contests affording recreation.<br />
(7) In all the scientific and engineering departments of the Institute<br />
research shall be strongly emphasized, not only because of the
