Nebraska Engineering Society

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.

Nebraska Engineering Society

     The Nebraska Blue Print is the official publication of the Engineering College and of the Nebraska Engineering Society. It differs from other campus publications in that the staff is elected by the society, rather than appointed by the publication board.
      Even though an infant on the campus, the future of the Nebraska Engineering Society is very bright. A good organization and an established publication are its chief assets. The aim of the members of the society is to continually perfect the machinery of the society so that in the future it will embrace all students within the college.

      Membership in the society during the college year of 1925-26 was approximately 225.
