Billings Polytechnic Realizes Another Dream Fulfilled
With Addition of a New Complete Four-Year College
By A. W. SEEBART
Member of Faculty,
Billings Polytechnic Institute
Another dream materialized
when the Biliings Polytechnic in
stitute announced on July 1 that
it would add to its five regular
schools, already in operation, a
full four-year college granting
the B. A. and the B. S. degrees.
To organize and dried the college
the trustees secured Dr. Wendell
S. Brooks, a well-known educator
who received his B. A. degree
f rom Yale university in 1908, his
M. A. degree from Chicago uni
versity in 1921, and his Ph. D.
from Northwestern university
in 1925, as its president.
It will be the particular responsi-1
bility of Dr. Brooks to select and or
ganize the faculty, which must be com
posed of men and women who have
earned either their master’s or doctor’s
degree; plan the curriculum of courses
and supervise the studies of those
students who are candidates for either
the bachelor of arts or the bachelor of
science degrees.
For evidence of Dr. Brook’s ability to
perform this task one need only turn to
his record of training and experience
as an educator.
Head of classical department Choate
school, Connecticut, 1908-10; instructor
Latin, Harvard school, Chicago, 1910; I
instructor of history and principal,
Kewanee (Hl.) high school, 1911-14;
headmaster school for boys. Indian

igan, summer 1926, Cornell summer
1928-29, University of Colorado, sum
mers, 1930-31; president Intermountain
Union college, Helena, Mont., 1930-34.
In answer to the question raised as
to what courses will be offered In the
new four-year college the best reply is
all the usual courses of the four year
college. Some of the departments In
which candidates for degrees will be
able to take majors are chemistry and
physics, mathematics, psychology, Eng
lish language and literature, foreign
languages, sociology and history, eco
nomics and business, religion and phil
osophy, fine arts, Including music,'
speech and art; physical education, ag
riculture, home economics, journalism
and printing.
This announcement regarding the j
four-year college should be of especial
Interest to young people and their
parents throughout this region. The
majority of those who graduate from
high school want to go away to college. |
Under present conditions, however, an
amazingly small percentage of our;
young people are getting the education- j

al background which the state Intended •
they should have. Recent statistics
made available by the Montana state
board of education show that out of!
11,000 young people who graduate from'
the eighth grade in Montana less than,
5,000 finish high school. Out of these
5,000 who finish high school far less
than 1,000 enter our state institutions
of higher learning. Allowing for the:
relatively small number of our young :
people who go outside the state for
their advanced training and also grant
ing that as many as 500 young people
enter commercial and vocational
schools of various types, there are still
only 1,500 out of a possible 5,000 young
people who are going beyond high;
school with their education.
As has been the case from the be
ginning, the Polytechnic is still vitally
interested in these young people who
are not receiving their rightful educa
tional heritage. It was primarily this
situation and the desire to meet this
need which led to the founding of the '
Polytechnic institute.
Due to its unique and progressive
system of establishing and maintaining
various industrial enterprises right in
connection with its course of study the
Billings Polytechnic institute is able to
give employment to a large number of;
students in the form of working schol
arships. These working scholarships
run as high as S3OO in value and once
earned they assure the holder that he
or she will get at least one year morel
of advanced educational training.
Extensive funds donated by friends
and supporters of the institute make
it possible to grant cash scholarships
and fellowships to students of outstand
ing ability and exceptional promise. A
limited number of student loans are
available for those students who appear
to be most deserving. Tuition rates, lab
oratory fees, text books, board and
room, and other expenses are kept at
the minimum so that all who enter
may have equal opportunities. There

are no expensive fraternities or elabor
ate society functions to add the exces
sive costs common In most colleges and
universities. .
With these valuable aids available at
the Polytechnic it would seem that no
deserving student should be denied the
opportunity to go to college If he has
the ability and is willing to work for
what he wants and needs. The Poly
technic. with its facilities and many
aids to the student provides the youth
of this region with an opportunity to
get the college training and background
to which they are entitled and without
which they cannot hope to make the
full use of their abilities and render the
full measure of service to the commun
ity.
Teaching is the chief function of the
college.
The addition of the four-year liberal
arts college to the educational facilities
of the institute does not displace any of
its former program consisting of the

President Polytechnic College
operation of five distinct and distinctive
schools, namely, school of vocations,
junior college, school of music, high
school and school of business.
As a matter of fact, the addition of
the four-year college will serve to
strengthen and raise the general ef
ficiency of these other schools. Faculty
members of the four-year college who
must have earned either a master’s or
doctor’s degree will be available for
guidance, direction and assistance with
the other schools, thereby raising the
educational level of the entire institute. I
The Polytechnic, in spite of increased
high school facilities provided by the
state, still continues with its four-year
high school becadbe a careful survey
shows that over 50 per cent of our
eighth grade graduates are not receiv
ing this training. The reason being for
the most part an economic one. For a
large percentage of these young people
there are not adequate high school
facilities at home and most of them 1
cannot afford to go away.
Through a system of self-help in Its
industries, the Polytechnic makes it
possible for these young people to get
what is most valuable to them and a
prerequisit of good citizenship. •
Realizing that 85 per cent of our
high school graduates never enter col
lege the Polytechnic includes to the full
limits allowed by the state board of
education, enrollment in a large num
ber of vocational courses so that its
high school graduates are prepared, not
only to enter college, but, if necessary'
to enter upon some worthwhile vocation i
with the developed ability and skill
necessary to make a success in that
vocation. The academy Is fully ac
credited by the Montana state board of
’ education and the North Central As
’ sociation of Secondary Schools and
I Colleges.
1 The founders of the Billings Poly
; technic institute were pioneers in the
application of a new educational theory.
J namely, that the best and most effective
I kind of education is learning by doing
and that instead of education being
solely a preparation for life it should be
life at its best.
Furthermore the founders of the in
stitute were in agreement on the chief
objectives of education as being four in
number: (1) to train for citizenship,
(2) to train for leadership, (3) to train
for vocational or professional skill, (4)
to train for abundant living.
Having these four major objectives
the question naturally arose, what do
The Physics Laboratory, Billings Polytechnic
we mean by citizenship, leadership,
skill, and abundant living? What will
characterize the individual student who
achieves these objectives? After care
ful consideration It was concluded that
the kind of citizenship society needed
was Christian citizenship; that the kind
of leadership we needed was leadership
motivated by Christian principles; that
the kind of skill we needed was skill
which would not be used to prey upon
or destroy the other fellow, but skill
in making use of natural resources for
the advancement of society. When It
came to a definition of abundant liv
ing it was clearly seen that the Chris
tian philosophy of life was the only one
which gave absolute assurance that life,
for the one who practiced it, would be
abundant.
Thus, in order to achieve Its objec
tives the Polytechnic was established as
a Christian institution.
Being a private institution supported
by private gifts from Interested friends,
the Polytechnic has been free to fol
low out its ideals in the mapping of
that kind of an educational program
which really meets the needs of the
young people In this region.
Realizing more than 50 per cent of
our eighth grade graduates cannot, will
not, and should not, go on into a high
school course of study which is design
ed to achieve but one purpose, namely,
prepare Its recipients to enter college,
the Polytechnic has maintained an
academy in which there was a maxi
mum of vocational training put which
still met the minimum requirements of
the Montana state board of education
and the North Central association.
For the benefit of those students who
would not and should not enter the
high school at all, the institution has
operated a school of vocations wherein
the student developed his natural abil
ities and achieved that degree of skill
in one of the major vocations which en
abled him to enter into that vocation
and make his livelihood thereby. At
the same time a minimum of training
in culture, citizenship, and leadership
was required of each of these vocation
al students, thus safeguarding them
from being mere machines of selfish in
dividualists.
An intergal part of the vocational
plan is the Polytechnic’s system of es
tablishing and operating various in
dustries which not only make it possible
for the student to pay part of his edu
cational expenses by working for the
school, but which give him fundamental
training in how to work efficiently—
teach the meaning and philosophy of
work and the values to be derived from

work. The industrial self-help plan is
not only used in connection with the
vocational school but in each of the
institute’s five schools. A very large
percentage of the students earn a part
of their expenses by the discharge of
specific and responsible duties in one
of the many industries of the institute.
A wholesale social life is an absolute
essential for the development of a well
rounded personality. The Polytechnic
does not leave this influence to chance
circumstances but puts forth the effort
to provide a program of social activities
rich in variety and wholly constructive
in nature. It is the universal testimony
of Polytechnic young people that they
have an “awful” good time at the Poly
technic all the time and it is not spoil
ed by the guilty conscience of having
“gone too far” or “too fast.”
Without a sound body there can
neither be a keen mind nor sound mor
als. In recognition of these facts the
institute encourages and provides ex
cellent facilities for all manner of sports
and athletic contests. Classes in phsi
cal education are provided for all stu
dents and especially for those who par
ticipate but little in athletics. The in
stitute maintains a nurse and hospital
rooms on its campus and has a splendid
record of freedom from sickness or
disease.
That life and all that enters into life
has importance and lasting significance
only as it is in accord with the Chris
tian way of life, is never lost sight of at
the Polytechnic. Its whole program is
built around the goal of helping young
people to achieve a Christian character
for the purpose of living the most
abundant life possible. This being the
case it is impossible to lose anything of
permanent value by attendance at the
Polytechnic and it is possible to gain
the most valuable things in life by tak
ing advantage of its offerings.
