LHAE LOCENITRIC. ij) STEVENS COMMENT Wor” Ags T IS very evident from the course pursued by the Faculty for the past year, that everything is 4) being done to lighten the student’s labors and still increase his opportunities of acquiring a good KY scientific education. We appreciate this effort on the part of our instructors, and hope that our criticisms will be considered as the true expressions of a student’s feelings. In the first place, the Juniors would like to thank Prof. Woop for his lately adopted plan of sending one man out of the room to collect data from engineering journals to read to the class on the following day; this affords a means of acquiring a good general knowledge of the engineering projects going on around us, and is deserving of the highest praise. Prof. Woop’s off-hand talks are also very enjoyable to members of the same class. In the department of mathematics, the lectures given by Prof. Wxrpp have cleared up many an obscure point for the several members of the Junior class, and they feel highly indebted to him for the knowledge they now have of the subjects gone over. In the case of the Sophomore and Freshman classes, however, it seems quite the reverse; the students having to work out the difficult problems of cal- culus and coordinate geometry with but few explanations outside of those of their classmates, who know about as much of the subject as they do themselves. Analytical chemistry has been one of the most interesting studies for ‘both the Junior and Sopho- more classes. Under the able management of Dr, Stiziman, this department has met with great success.

12 THALALCOCLN TRIC. Now, qualitative analysis is finished during Sophomore year, thus enabling the student to devote Junior year to quantitative analysis. Spectrum analysis has also been adopted, thus adding another to the long list of improvements in this department. hs Prof. Mayer certainly deserves the thanks of the students for his well prepared and interesting lectures, which give the student a good idea of the different instruments of precision and how to use them, Prof. GryeR would greatly facilitate the work of the Seniors if he would notify them beforehand of what he expected them to do. The department of experimental mechanics and shop-work is receiving the closest attention of those who have it in charge, and the students are enjoying the benefits of it. We also are very much pleased to state that the Library has been catalogued, so that a student can now procure any book he may wish without having to go on a searching expedition, This will be very much appreciated by those wishing to use the books. Last, but infinitely far from least, is the fact that now the student is represented on the Board of Trustees. At a meeting of the Board it was decided to allow the Alumni Association to appoint three members from which was to be selected an Alumni Trustee, Mr. TrauTweEIn is the gentleman who now represents us on the Board. This is a decided improvement, because Mr. Trautwern will certainly know what is best for us, having once traveled the course himself.
