Title:
Pictorial Bulletin of Duke University College of Engineering
Description:
This bulletin covers the College of Engineering’s civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering opportunities. Due to World War II, the bulletin demonstrates a clear relationship between the college and the military, with quotes on the value of civil engineers in the army, how navigation courses are useful for air and sea duty, and highlights on the mechanical engineering aeronautics concentration. The bulletin exclusively features men; however, the first women engineers, Marie Foote Reel and Muriel Theodorsen Williams, enrolled in the college in the early 1940s, graduating in 1946
