A lecteur "eads nov'els hastily and gets little from them; a viveur lives by what he reads; and a liseur is a member of the middle class of readers. In the last class are readers who really enjoy novels. Dri.

Fdunded 1908 'veyed chool Would Clemson Bryant Editor all engineering instruction at the mson, the Fiscal Survey Cpmmis neral Assembly this week. apparent duplication of engineer son. But the commission recom lended that the engineering cur iculum at the Citadel, composed of lectrical and civil engineering ourses, be left separate from lenson. When the commission requested he Deans of the School of Engi eering at the University and at lemson to submit their view with espect to the duplications of en ineering courses and to express pinions whether or not the best nterests of the state would be erved by concentrating the engi leering facilities at Clemson, they eceived diametrically opposed "iews. National Recognition The commission reported that the eason for their advising the con entration at Clemson "was to in ure the establishment of an engi leering school which would be ecognized for its real worth all ver the United States." President Donald S. Russell of he University, according to the -eport, stated that in his opinion i school of engineering was an es iential component of the well -ounded University that he was triving for. He said that a school )f engineering "necessarily sup >orts, implements and stimulates he departments of mathematics, physics and chemistry and that ex -ellence in these departments would >e impossible to achieve without a chool of engineering." Engineers Needed President Russell further said hat there is a tremendous increase n need of engineers and this is no ime for the curtailment of the raining of engineers in South ,arolina. He said this is especially rue in South Carolina when it is rying to progress industrially. The commission's advice to move he University School of Engineer ng to Clemson is not in keeping vith the situation in the majority >f the other states. It is the ex -eption rather than the rule. Ac ording to a reliable source the only wo states that have concentrated heir engineering study in one lo ale is in Georgia and North Caro ma. The Ivy League schools, such as larvard, Yale and Columbia have eparate engineering schools. And nost of the large institutions of migher learning have engineering u r ric ul1a. Winthrop Enrollment Decline TIhe commission's report was also oncerned wvith the decline in en ollmient at Winthrop College. The eport state'd that the enrollment ias steadily declined from about ,000 girls in 1929 to about 1,000 oday. During this period the Uni ersity and Clemson have grown. The commission gave the idea hat the reason for the decline is he absence of male students at Einthrop. The report stated "there xists in America today a definite ociological trend which causes the 'oung college girl of today to seek niale society at co-educational in titutions. They recommended that Win hrop and the University be perated under the supervision of single Board of Trustees with a ingle administration. Further hey stated that "prompt action be aken to make such changes as may e needed to attract increased stu Lent enrollment to Winthrop so as o utilize to a maximum the facili ies available at that institution. Pharmacy Concentration A further recommendation by the ommission was the elimination of he Pharmacy School at the Medi al College at Charleston with the on tinuation of t h e Pharmacy chool at the University, and that Dental School should be planned as a part of the overall teaching lant at the Medical College in Tharleston and should be an in egral part of any new or renovated (Cian..d on page 8)
