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 ,n many instances the government has been compelled to train men itself in eeodesy and surveying in order to supply the demand for these technical ten in its own departments." Four- teen branches of the federal govern- ment and rpany state and city depart--H uylers ments are concerned in surveyin work. Work involving geodetic ele- -ents will grow as engineering ad- ministrations extend their influence in the opinion of Professor Johnston. at The Busy B IHs Bakgrouind in HistoryJ "Surveying has a background in history comparable with that of as- tronomy or architecture.

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 with many astronomers and other sci- ELF-CONFID entists, who were graduated with the you stand bachelor's degree in engineering.
