Department of Chemistry A HE hoinc of thc Chcinistry Dcpartincnt is thc Morton M1-inorial Laboratory, onc of thc bcst of its kind in thc Unitcd States. It WHS crcctcd according to thc plans of Professor Morton, thc first prcsidlfllt of Stcvcns and was dcdicatcd to his incmory in Junc, 1906. Thc first floor contains a private oflicc which is occupicd by Dr. Pond. two privatc laboratorics, and a nuinbcr of sinall roonis which arc uscd for oil and watcr analyscs, ll1Cl2F1lllll'glC1ll work, and inctallography. Thc rcinaiudcr of this floor is occupicd by a stock room, a janitor's room. and a room in which the vcntilating machinery is locatcd. Thc analytical laboratory, onc of thc inost coinplctc at Stcvcns, occupics thc sccond Hoor. Most of thc tinn: dcvotcd to chcniistry in our Sophoniorc Ycar was spent hcrc in all kinds of analytical work that arc vital to thc cnginccr. The vcntilating system is so cflicicnt that nincty-six studcnts may bc working on qualitativc analysis and the atinosphcrc will rvinain pcrfcctly clcar. This is made possihlc by providing cach studcnt's dcsk with a. hood, through which thc fulncs arc drawn down into a larggc cxhaust fan, which, in turn, cxpcls thcni into thc outsidc atniosphcrc. ln combination with thc inain laboratory is a gas analysis room, a hydrogcn sulphidc rooin, a supply rooin. and a balancc room, cach onc of which is coinplctc to thc last lcttcr of thc word. The third floor contains a lccturc room, a rccitation room, a library, an office, and the Morton Mcinorial Room, which is thc inccting placc of thc Trustccs and thc l aculty.' On this Hoor wc studicd our Frcslnnan, Junior and part of thc sccond tcrxn Sophomore chcinistry. This much of thc work con- sisted of lccturcs and rccitations dcaling with gcncral chcniistry in our Frcsh- man Ycar and industrial and cnginccring chcinistry in our Sophomore and Junior Years. Thc llcpartnicnt is hcadcd by Dr. l . J. Pond, li.S...A.M., l'h.l5., who is assistcd by Assistant Profcssor l,. H. Backcr, M.lfl., Mr. H. H. Barbchcnn, M.S., Mr. l . 0. Rittcr, BLA., and Mr. J. .l.

Department of Economics of Engineering URING this your, in the Department of l'lC0ll0llllCS of Engineering, lectures and reeitntions were held on Elementary 1'lC0ll0llllCS, Account- ing, Depreciation, Shop Cost, I,:1w of Contracts, Patent l,:1w Specifica- tions, und husiness methods in general. Next yenr we look forward to rx eontiuuntion of these studies with :nn introduction to others in the course of the Department. The olmjeet of the Depnrtnient is to impress upon us the fnet that :in engineer, in order to he successful, must he :1 business man. Here the training that will nmke it possihle for us to become inimngers of industry is provided. VVe :ire rendered eupuhle of understanding the husiness side of :in industrial or engineering eonecrn. lVe are instructed :is to and warned of the dangers of legul eomplientions, :ind :ire taught to seek the :advice of :1 competent lawyer whenever :1 legal question arises. The work of this Depnrtinent is important, for the knowledge gained here must he :1 part of our store of inforlnntion if we ever intend to hold positions of authority. , President A. C'.
