Department of Physics The Department of Physics was established by act of the Board of Trustees at its meeting in June, 1894, and Prof. Pence was appointed instructor in this department. Instruction in physics, however, has previously been given since the college first began work. For a long time physics and chemistry were taught by the same person, who was professor of physics and chemistry. Then, later, for a few years, the professor of civil engineering taught physics. Gradually the col- lege developed and broadened its line of work. In some cases old departments of instruction branched into new departments and other new departments were created. Opportunity was given for more thorough work in many subjects. In fact, more thorough work was required. New graduate courses, some leading to new degrees, were established. In this development, the most prominent, perhaps, have been the advances in scientific work. There are now splendid facilities and exceptional opportunities for doing work in many of the sciences. The course in physics is offered to those who may find in its schedule of studies lines of work which pursued may enable them to enter successfully on some life profession. It is intended for those whose natural tastes and abilities lead them to pursue such studies as well as for those who wish to teach physics or to do work in physical science. In the present highly scientific age, the greatest develop- ments have been in physical sciences and those who are best able to recognize physi- cal laws and accurately interpret physical phenomena. The course is not technical. It is as broadly scientific as the conditions under which it exists will allow. Three years are devoted to theoretical and experimental physics, three and one-half to mathematics and astronomy, two to English, two to German and one each'is given to history and political economy, and one to logic, mental and moal philosophy. Five months are assigned to zoology and five to geology. The work proper in physics begins in the Sophomore year, during the first term of which there are lectures, fully illustrated by experiments, with recitations one hour daily. This work embraces the subjects of molar, molecular and other dynamics, treating of the general properties of matter, sound, heat light electricity and magnetism, and is intended to give the student a general knowlege of physical phenomena and of physical laws, and to prepare him for the practical work that follows. Laboratory practice, one and one-half hours daily, follows and continues dur- ing the remainder of the year. Experimental work is done in the mechanics of solids, liquids and gases, and in heat, during the second term; and in electricity and magnetism, sound and light in the third term. The advanced work of the junior year is specified. There are illustrated lect- ures and recitations one hour daily throughout the year. Electricity and magne- tism are studied during the first term; heat, the second term, and light, the third. Much importance is attached to all work in the laboratory. Each student is furnished with the necessary apparatus and must keep a systematic record of all his experiments giving data and results of each. During the senior year, besides carrying the other studies required in this course, the student gives his time mainly to the preparation of a thesis, which is required for graduation.

During the past year two members of the Station Staff have gone to fields green and pastures new. Mr. L. 0. Beatty received a scholarship in Columbia University, New York, and is perfecting himself for work in chemical research. Mr. T. L. Richmond is on the other side of the globe, director of the new experiment station at Manila, teaching the little brown men the gentle arts of peace, the essence of better life; following the flag and the gridiron but seeking to supplant the bayonet and the machete with the plow and the hoe. The word with the station has been progress. The past year has seen the completion of the dairy farm costing $8,500 and the beginning of a station build- ing costing $20,000. Nor has the progress been less in scientific lines of research The object for which the experiment station was and is maintained is to aid and assist in the promotion of agriculture and thereby in the welfare and prosperitv of the whole country. In other words to lend a hand, to point the way. “To scatter plenty o’er a smiling land And read its destiny in a nation’s eyes.1
