From all reports, Mr. Whiteside is the type of man to be entrusted with a share in Harvard's crew destinies not only to the extent of turning out winning combinations...
...common to all. Some of the programs begin to be differentiated in the second year, and others in the third; but in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering the first three years are practically identical. The schedule of studies is simple and progressive, but rigorous. Not more than five subjects may be taken simultaneously.

And we now offer college graduates a master's degree for the postgraduate study necessary to win an engineering degree...
