SELECT BEST MEN

 

The popularity of Armour Insti-
tute as an engineering college was
again shown by the 700 applications
for entrance as members of the class
of 1935. Due to the limited space,
it was found necessary to limit the
class to 270 freshmen. .

Just before registration, the
quotas for all the engineering dc.
partments were filled though several
more openings were available for
prospective architects.

The freshmen were divided among
the various courses as follows:

Mechanical Engineering . . . . 50
Electrical Engineering ..... 57
Civil Engineering ...... . . . . .50
Chemical Engineering. . . . . . . 38

Fire Protection Engineeringfll

made upon the previous record of
the applicant, his personality as re-

ing that Armour’s reputation is
