The Civil Engineering Department, |

teaching staff composed of new men.
The only holdovers in the department |
are J. C. Nagle, Professor
Engineering; J. C. Richey, Professor
of Structural Engineering; Byron |
Bird, Associate Professor of High- |
way Engineering and Mrs. L. M.
gineering. There are six new men in
the department.
W. J. Emmons, Professor of High- |
way Engineering, (succeeding Mr.
Roy M, Green, who is now manager |
of the Western Laboratories at Lin-

that they will be uncertain as to what |

It is such things as these, with |
hundreds of other details, that are
drilled and hammered into the foot- |

night. Coach Bible and his team are
working both night and day trying to |
be ready for the big games that are |
to come.
