magazine on the life and achievements of herman schnei der 94 now t dean of the school of engineering at the university of cincinnati a brief summary follows : ' ' fifteen years ago herman schneider civil engineer brought into the educational market a new idea the vision of engineering stu dents working with their hands for pay in the field and shop today schneider is dean of the school of engineering at the university of cincinnati and each year the would-be students he turns away through lack of room exceeds the number of graduates from any two of the institutions whose attention he was soliciting fifteen years ago schneider's school has shat tered certain educational tra ditions for one thing it guaran tees the success of its graduates again this school has linked up theory with practice its text book pages are translated in terms of the grease-grimed machine shops the laboratories the box cars the street excavations the railroad repair shops where its students spend two weeks of every four at the end of each fortnight one-half of schneider's students walk out of their classrooms and put on overalls and jumpers then they get on the job their alter nates relieved from shop duty swarm back to the vacant class rooms both shifts of students in their outside work are drawing similar pay performing similar duties subject to similar discipline as other employees in the same shops but the work which means most of all to herman schneider goes even farther than this with his university as a human labora tory he is showing america how to eliminate human misfits how to prevent modern industry from making failures of men who have every right to be successful dean schneider says every normal person has a right to suc cess you must know at least twenty persons whom you would class as failures — defeated men struggling along in a hopeless hang-dog fashion often haunted by the fear that they will lose the very jobs that give so little and take so much but these men are not failures ' fifty chances to one they are merely misfits they have not found their places they are the victims of blind education slip shod employment and their own inability to analyze themselves " here at the university if an earnest student with average brains is not a success we feel it is largely our fault we have not by a long shot mastered the science of eliminating misfits sometimes it takes us many months many shifts of occupation to determine just what work a youth is best fitted to do but when a co-operative stu dent remains with us two years we continued on fourth
