me Professor Davis became Associate Dean and maintained an intimate
and paternal care over the students until his retirement in 1910.

The Department of Electrical Engineering was organized in 1889, under
the charge of Henry S. Carhart, Wesleyan, '69, Professor of Physics, and
one instructor, George W. Patterson, Yale, '84, who became the first
Professor of Electrical Engineering in May, 1905. In 1899 a course in
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering was created with Herbert C.
Sadler, Glasgow, '93, as the first Professor. The following year the
first degree was conferred in a new Department of Chemical Engineering,
and in 1902 Edward DeMille Campbell, '86, became head of the new
division as Professor of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Chemistry.

The first plan for the University called for a Professorship of
Engineering and Architecture, but no attention was paid to the latter
subject until the appointment of W.L.B. Jenney, to the Professorship of
Architecture in 1876. Appropriations failed, however, and the chair was
discontinued in 1880, not to be revived until 1906, when a Department of
Architecture was organized under the charge of Emil Lorch, A.M.,
Harvard, '03, with the two departments associated under the title of the
Department (later Colleges) of Engineering and Architecture. Within
recent years special courses have been organized leading to degrees in
Architectural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Aeronautical
Engineering, as well as special groups of courses in such branches as
sanitary, transportation, automobile, hydro-mechanical, industrial, and
gas engineering and paper manufacturing. A reorganization of the
numerous degrees given at one time in the Engineering College has now
reduced the degrees to two, B.S. in Engineering and B.S. in
Architecture.

Originally the work in engineering was centered in what is now the old
south wing of University Hall. The first building on the Campus used
exclusively for the engineering courses was the first section of the
Engineering Laboratories built in 1881-82, as the result of the
insistence of Dr. Frieze, then Acting President, that an unexpended
appropriation of $2,500 be used immediately. At short intervals further
additions were made and in 1900 the building, now known as the
Engineering Shops, assumed its present form. In 1895 a further extension
of the work in engineering was required, and the adjace
