thoroughness for positions as constructing, designing, operating,<br />

and managing engineers.<br />

(4) The four-year Undergraduate Course in Science shall<br />

afford, even more fully than is possible in the Engineering<br />

Course, an intensive training in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.<br />

In its third and fourth years groups <strong>of</strong> optional studies<br />

shall be included which will permit either some measure <strong>of</strong><br />

specialization in one <strong>of</strong> these basic sciences or in geology, paleontology,<br />

biology, or in the various branches <strong>of</strong> engineering. This<br />

Course shall include the same cultural studies as does the Engineering<br />

Course, and in addition, instruction in the German and<br />

French languages. Its purpose will be to provide a collegiate<br />

education which, when followed by one or more years <strong>of</strong> graduate<br />

study, will best train the creative type <strong>of</strong> scientist or engineer<br />

so urgently needed in our educational, governmental, and industrial<br />

development, and which will most effectively fit able students<br />

for positions in the research and development departments<br />

<strong>of</strong> manufacturing and transportation enterprises.<br />

(5) Fifth-year Courses leading to the degree <strong>of</strong> Master <strong>of</strong><br />

Science shall be <strong>of</strong>fered in the sciences, especially in physics,<br />

mathematics, chemistry, geology, paleontology, and biology. A<br />

considerable proportion <strong>of</strong> the time <strong>of</strong> these Courses shall be<br />

devoted to research. These will be supplementary to the Undergraduate<br />

Course in Science, and will be intended to continue the<br />

training for the types <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional positions referred to in the<br />

preceding paragraph.<br />

(6) Throughout the period <strong>of</strong> undergraduate study every<br />

effort shall be made to develop the character, ideals, breadth <strong>of</strong><br />

view, general culture, and physical well-being <strong>of</strong> the students<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Institute</strong>. To this end the literary, historical, economic,<br />

and general scientific subjects shall continue to be taught by a<br />

permanent staff <strong>of</strong> men <strong>of</strong> mature judgment and broad experience;<br />

the regular work in these subjects shall be supplemented
