FORREST R. JONES, M. E., Professor of Drawing and Machine Design Professor Jones was graduated from Sibley College, Cornell, in 1888, one class ahead of Professor Kingsbury. The next two years he divided his time between the Edison laboratories, Orange, N. J., and the Western Engineering Company of Nebraska, in the capacity of a commercial engineer. In 1890 he was put at the head of the department of mechanical arts of the University of Tennessee. In 1892 he resigned this position and went to the University of Wisconsin to occupy the chair of machine design. In the fall of ’99 he accepted a call to the W. P. I., and is one of four that joined our Faculty at that time. He is the author of a work on machine design, which is used at present as a text-book at the Institute. A practical, coupled with a theoretic, knowledge of his subject, makes him an excellent teacher. He is a member of the ikmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers, a member of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and an associate member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. JOSEPH BEALS, S B , Assistant Professor of Physics Professor Beals is an alumnus of the W. P. I., being a member of the class of ’85. After graduation he was engaged for one year with the Dean Steam Pump Company of Holyoke, Mass., and with the Washburn Moen Company of Worcester, Mass. He next went into business at Wakefield. In 1889 he organized the manual training department of the Fall River high school, where he taught two years. In 1891 he was made Instructor in Mathematics at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Four years later he was made Assistant Professor of Physics, which position he held until he resigned at the beginning of our junior year to become clerk of the Worcester School Board. 19
