UNIVkNSHY Of m ILLINOIS LIBRARY AI URBANA-CHAMP/U3N STACKS Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/announcementofcoOOuniv Announcement of Courses in WAR TRAINING for ILLINOIS INDUSTRIES Conducted by UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Division of University Extension URBANA, ILLINOIS IN COOPERATION WITH Engineering Science and Management War Training Program FOREWORD To Prospective Students: More than 27,000 persons in Illinois, both men and women, have studied in the courses conducted thus far in the Engineering, Science, and Man- agement Training Program administered by the University of Illinois. These people have done so in part because of a desire to improve and to upgrade themselves, but in part, also, because of their desire to increase their usefulness to the nation in the all- out war effort. It is most heartening to observe their response to these opportunities presented to them, and to see the eagerness and earnestness with which they go about their studies. Those of us on the administrative staff of the Division of University Extension of the University of Illinois are grateful to all who participate, for their generous willingness to put time and energy into this important part of the battle on the home front. We welcome the new students now joining the classes, and extend greetings to all students already enrolled, who continue in additional classes. Robert B. Browne, Director Division of University Extension H. C. Rountree, Supervisor Extension in Engineering U. OF ILL LIB. GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT This announcement is only a partial list of the courses offered by the Division of University Ex- tension of the University of Illinois in cooperation with the United States Office of Education. The list of courses contained herein is based on the re- sults of an industrial survey of the war industries in your local community. New courses will be added from time to time as the need arises. The War Training Program was established to provide col- lege level training in essential fields for both men and women, whose effectiveness in the war effort can be increased through training in short, intensive courses. No college credit is given, and there is no enrollment or tuition fee. The only expenses to be met by the students are the cost of the textbook and similar materials. Time and Place of Instruction The program has been designed to serve the train- ing needs of the War Industries. Classes may be scheduled to meet any time of the day or evening. The needs of a single industry, or of a number of industries in a community, will determine the time and place of class meetings. Additional information may be obtained by writing to H. C. Rountree, Division of University Extension, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. Certificates Certificates will be awarded to those students who complete a course satisfactorily.
