From 1883 until coming here Professor Ames taught in the Rose Polytechnic Institute, of Terre Haute, Ind., having charge of the work in Descriptive Geometry and Machine Design. His text-book on the former subject is the one used in the W. P. I. Professor Ames is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He severed his connec¬ tion with the Tech in June, 1899, to enter the firm of Reed Prince, of this city. JAMES J. GUEST, A. IS., Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Professor Guest was educated at the Hindsworth Grammar School at Birmingham and at Marlborough College. In 1888 he graduated from Cambridge, being fifth Wrangler and a scholar of Trinity College. He afterwards studied Physics at Caven¬ dish Laboratory, and taught Mathematics. He took the course in the Engineering Lab¬ oratories at Cambridge, finally becoming an assistant. He studied under Dr. Routh, Professor J. J. Thompson and Professor Ewing. He was employed by Messrs. Tangyis as a draughtsman for some time. In 1895 he went as Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering to McGill University in Canada, and came to Tech in the fall of 1896. In Junior year Professor Guest showed us some of the mysteries of mechanics and incidentally the use of some higher mathematics. He left at the beginning of our Senior year and has opened an office as a consulting engineer in Birmingham, England. JOSEPH BEALS, S. B., Assistant Professor of Pljysics. Professor Beals graduated from the W. P. I. in ’85, in the Mechanical Engineering Department.
