' . Graduate School of Applied Science. President Eliot gives an outline of the birth of the Grad- uate School of Applied Science, pages 109, no, of the "Pro- ceedings", as follows : The establishment of the Graduate School of Applied Science was a step in a long process which had been going on for nearly forty years. It began when I became president of- Harvard Univer- sity. That process was the giving of all the preliminary and ele- mentary instruction in what we may call the applied sciences..., not in a separate school called the Lawrence Scientific School, but to young men entering upon the full elective privileges of Harvard College, with a requirement for admissions somewhat lower than those which lead into Harvard College. There developed with that policy certain prescribed programmes of instruction in all the different branches of applied or industrial science, such as mechani- cal engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mining en- gineering. Those programmes of study were carried out at first by students registered in the Lawrence Scientific School, but later by students registered in Harvard College; and the great growth of the school was due to the institution of these programmes for pre- paring engineers, chemists, miners, etc.
