2 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING With the development of this country came the necessity for more and more men who were able to bring about progress in the field of mechanical engineering. Recognizing this need, the Institute founded this course with the aid of the Russell Sage Foundation in the spring of 1907. This course, when established, was fortunate in having completely new quarters and equipment, for it was at this time that Russell Sage Laboratory was built. Professor Arthur M. Greene, Jr., was responsible for the rapid growth of this department. In 1922 he was succeeded by Professor Edwin A. Fessenden, who has kept the department standards up to the high levels of the Institute since then. In I933, a course in aeronautical engineering was started, thus continuing the expansion of this department EDWARD ALLAN EESSENDEN, B. S. in M. E., M.
