Elizabethtown To Collaborate in Eng Training Elizabethtown College and the University have completed plans to collaborate in a program to train students in engineering, it was announced yesterday by A. C. Baugher, president of Elizabeth town College, and President Mil ton S. Eisenhower. The joint plan . will enable a student to enroll for a three-year liberal and scientific program at Elizabethtown, and then to trans fer to the University for the final two years of work. The student will qualify for a B.A. degree from Elizabethtown and a B.S. degree from the Uni versity. The program provides a liberal arts and technical edUcation in five years instead of the usual six or more. It provides time for undecided students to determine whether they wish to enter the engineering field. Application for the program will be made at Elizabethtown. At enrollment time students will in dicate their intention to continue the program. The student will be recommended to transfer to the College of Engineering and Archi tecture at the University in his sixth semester. He will be quali fied to enter aeronautical, civil, electrical, industrial mechanical, or sanitary engineering curricu-' lums.

Weisman illustrated his talk on the magnificent "Commercial Pal noes of New York" with slides of lithographs of many of the for gotten landmarks of the mid-19th century. From the lack of knowledge on the subject, he said he assumed that Americans must think their ancestors did nothing "except stay at home and go to church." This, of course. was very wrong. he said. Prior to this period of great ele gance in public taste, most busi ness and commercial buildings were drab two and three story af fairs, he said. The age of elegance and the striking buildings of Greek revival style was brief, however, Weisman said, due to the great expense and space con sumed by useless pillars and other ornaments.
