Engineering at Drexel lnstitute in l896. In 1896 just two men graduated as the first class in Engineering. At that time there was only the course in Electrical Engineering, and in the whole department two regular and one special Seniors and eight Juniors, Professor Rowland's office and the Engineering class-rooms were in the second floor of numbers 28 and 30 South Thirty-second street, now used by the XfVl'E61l2lgCll1Ot Club and as a part of the Biological Laboratory, and the Instrumental Laboratory in the first floor, now a part of the restaurant. The Dynamo Laboratory was in its present location, but only half its present size, and so crowded with apparatus that it was often hard to find a place to work. There was no Mechanical Laboratory worthy of the name, about the only equipment being the 200,000-pound testing machine and a pipe vise. Nevertheless the mechanical plant of the Institute, which in those days consisted of four single-acting compound Xwestinghouse engines belted to dynamos, and the auxiliaries, was made good use of. In 1902 East Hall was completed and the School of Engineering moved into its present quar- ters. This marked the beginning of the growth of the School. A All the men in the early classes in Engineering would have been glad to have had the ad- vantages afforded by the present systematized instruction and good equipment, but feel that the course, even as it was then, fitted them to take their stand by graduates of other schools.
