HE
Nebraska Engineering Society is a local Engineering
College organization which was formally established in
February, 1924. Before this time several organizations
similar to the Nebraska Engineering Society appeared
on the campus but none of them were entirely
satsifactory (sic). The Nebraska Engineering Society
serves a two-fold purpose--The present and the future:
The present
purpose of the society is to bring the students of
the Engineering College into closer touch, promote
a spirit of co-operation between the different
departments and develop a true Nebraska spirit
within the college.
The future
purpose of the society is to extend its influence
in making a greater and better University of
Nebraska by bonding the engineering alumni of
tomorrow more firmly with the Alma Mater.
The activities of
the society throughout the school year consists of
convocations, dances, barbecues, smokers, banquets,
athletic meets and last but not least "Engineers'
Week." This is the gala event of the Engineering
College and is held in the spring. The program for
Engineers' Week includes: a parade, field day, several
convocations, Engineers' Night, a banquet and a dance.
Engineers' Week is a traditional feature with the
engineers affording as it does an opportunity to
display the work and equipment of the college. In
addition to the above the society engages in many
other activities at different times throughout the
year.
