Two new departments in aviation have been created this year at S. C., one a chair of commercial aviation in the College of Commerce and Business Administration, the other a chair of Aeronautical engineering in the College of Engineering.

The courses offered in this department are designed for the training of personnel for the traffic and business department of the aviation industry. Professor Earl W. Hill, lecturer in Commercial Aviation and Educational Director of Western Air Express, is head of the Commercial Aviation department.
An aeronautical engineer of wide experience. Professor James M. Shoemaker, heads the Department of Aeronautical Engineering. The course given is nearly identical with that in mechanical engineering for tTie first three years, but in the last year there are given the advanced courses in aeronautical engineering.
