P. Gordon. There are now 1,763 students at this university. Famed for its co-operative engineering program, in, which students study at the university for four months, and then are placed in a job in industry somewhere in Ontario, the uni- versity this year reports over a thousand students in this pro- grain.

His area includes that part of On- tario reaching into Owen Sound east through Stratford and Woodstock, south to Windsor, and bounded by Lake Huron on the west. Within this area, Mr. Ball interviews industrial concerns seeking suitable positions for the young men Who are enrol- led in the co-operative engin- eering prograna.
