been brought to bear upon them in
ourr country. Columbia has recently
begun teaching the subjects more sci-
entifically than they have been treated
before, but merely touches the points
that Michigan can now cover thor-
oughly.
"So inadequate has been the college
training offered in this branch hereto-
fore," states Professor Johnston, "that

been compelled to train men itself in
eeodesy and surveying in order to
supply the demand for these technical

work. Work involving geodetic ele-

In the University of Michigan, the
subject has been taught since engine-
ering work was introduced in 1857.
Professor De Volson Wood, with one
or two assistants, taught all of the
courses unti: the advent of President
Angell in 1872. Prof. J. B. Davis, one
of the three professors who came with
the new administration, was made pro-
fessor of geodesy and surveying in
1891. "During the period before 1895,
while engineering was being taught in
the literary college, the instruction
was of a more general and fundament-
al character than it is today, because
there -were but few opportunities for
specialization," Professor Johnston
says. "As a result, the University of
Michigan has furnished the country
