The College of Advanced Science, established for the intensive training of engineers, held its opening session January 4 in Canaan, N.H. The new institution is the outgrowth of a conviction that engineering education has not kept pace with development and discoveries in science. The college curriculum is designed to give engineers with a bachelor of science degree a two-year intensive course in graduate level physics theory including higher mathematics and advanced physical chemistry. We note that Hoppy is on the Board of Trustees of this new college.
