These twelve gentlemen constitute the board of Regents. Into their discussions over the affairs of the University no partisan discussion ever enters, and no one would know from anything which happens at the meetings what were the political or religious or social views of any of it members. It is in fact a mostconscientious, faithful and self-denying Board, discharging its public trust most wisely for the best interests of the State and Hon. Wllllnm Lllggett.

The College of Mechanic Arts has existed in name since the opening of the University and in past years graduated a number of students in civil engineering, but it is only within the last few years that it has had enough of a special faculty or sullicicnt equipment to wa.rrant its being considered more than a depart- ment ol' the College of Science, Literature and the Arts. At the present time, however, the College ol' Mechanic Arts has a corps of eight special instructors whose entire time is given to its work, and in addition the students receive all instruction not purely technical from the members of the general faculty. Since 1887 the College has occupied a lmilding of its own which in every- thing but size is admirably adapted to its needs. The basement lloor of the building together with a large wing is devoted to the workshops and the Mechanical Laboratory, and, while there are a few teclmical schools or colleges in this country with larger num- bers of tools and appliances, yet it is believed that our College of Mechanic Arts stands fairly in the front rank for the completeness of its shop and laboratory equipment. The workshops, consisting of wood, machine and forge shops and foundry are provided with modern tools from the best makers and as indicated above are lacking rather in the muubcr of certain tools than in variety. The Mechanical Laboratory contains a well selected outlit of apparatus for the testing and comparison of engines, boiler and machinery of all kinds. To this equipment additions are constantly being made of special apparatus designed and constructed by instructors and students: thus, supplying in many cases apparatus for the particular work in hand that it would be impossible to purchase. Among such pieces of apparatus may he noted a mercury colunm of new design, an experimental engine and two dynamometers. The power for the work of the College is furnished by a Buckeye engine which, with the laboratory equipment above
