THE WOLVERINE ICHIGAN IN SCI CHEATAAD VOIDS oP oi: GrcT H However, Big Lamont Gkiss is Near Completion Say Jena Glass Workers. Students passing through the obser- vatory next week for the first time will probably learn that Mr. R. P. Lamont of Chicago, has provided the funds for the construction of a 24-in. refracting telescope for its use. The completion of this instrument has been delayed, owing to the difficulty of producing the glass required for the objective. It was ordered in February, 1911, and although four years have now elapsed, the glass has not yet been received by the opticians. The latest reports of the glass makers at Jena, Germany, stated that the crown disk had been made, and that they had also produc- ed a mass of flint glass sufficiently large for the flint disk. This will have to be formed into a disk and then pass through the final annealing and test- ing processes, which will probably re- quire several months. Were it not for the abnormal conditions in Europe, owing to the war, the delivery of the disks might be expected during the present year. The mounting of this telescope is now in an advanced stage of con- struction at the observatory shop.

The work upon the instrument has proceeded as far as is practic- able until the focal length of the ob- jective has been determined, and this must wait the decision of the opticians after their examination of theglass. "IT'S OUR WORK THAT COUNTS" Thixt's the reason we have built up such a business in our Amateur Finishing Department DAINES & NICKELS "The only Studio on the Campus" FINE IEUVIPMENI FOB AVIDA OCOJISE Prof. W. T. Fishleigh Claims Michigan Has Advantage Over All Other Schools. BALANCE TEST A SPECIALTY "Two very interesting and import- ant problems will be worked out next year in advancedi research classes along automobile lines" said Prof. W. T. Fishleigh as he discussed the out- look of that branch of engineering in the University of Michigan. "The first will be a continuation of heat and bal- ance tests, using a Franklin 6-30 air- cooled engine and perhaps the 3400 R. P. M. Chalmers six-cylinder motor which was recently presented to the department. "The second problem for research work will be the determination upon the road of the actual horse power which must be distributed to the rear wheels of automobiles of different types, in order to propel cars at dif- ferent speeds on the road." During the past ten years consider- able attention has been paid to re- search work and original laboratory investigation. Next year this research will not only be continued but em- phasis will be laid on its importance. The department has already com- pleted two research determinations in the laboratory; one covering horsepow- er losses and back pressures in differ- ent designs of mufflers; the other, the determination of complete balance of a Hudson 6-54 engine. In June, the Cadilac Motor Car com- pany of Detroit, presented to the auto- mobile section of the engineering de- partment a new Cadillaccut-out chass- is. This is one of the finest demon- stration equipments obtainable for lec- ture and design sections. In point of finish it is complete. All parts of the motor, clutches, and transmissions are cut away, so students can see the plan of the working parts; while the entire outfit is so arranged as to be run by a starting motor. In fact, by the turn of a switch the whole chassis works as in a car. The arrangement of small electric lights throughout all the units makes this one of the most valuable pieces of demonstration apparatus owned by the department. This section of the engineering de- partment is especially rich in apparat- us. Many leading automobile com- panies throughout the country have nade presents to it of various parts of the machine and today the value of this apparatus may be roughly esti- mated at from $15,000 to $20,000. On account of lack of space, it has be- come a problem to find room for it. Work on the new automobile labor- atory, which was planned a few months ago, has not been commenced because the Regents have been consid- ering several other schemes of labor- atories in connection with the exten- sion of the engineering department. The delay means that more extensive improvements than at first planned will be undertaken. During the three years that the auto- mobile section of the engineering de- partment has been established, the number of students has steadily in- creased. Last year 150 students were enrolled and the indications are that nxt year the enrollment will far ex- ceed any past record. Already a num- ber of graduate students have signified their intention of returning and com- pleting the course in advance automo- bile work. The department also has letters from graduates of technical schools who are coming here next fall to begin special work along automo- bile lines. A regular series of courses is laid out; a general course, two lab- oratory courses, and two design courses. These have been planned with the intention of giving the stu- dent who contemplates automobile en- gineering as careful instruction as one interested in structural steel, hydraulic work, heat and ventilation, etc., re- ceives, The location of the University of Michigan for automobile work of this kind is admirable and gives advant- ages over any other place in the world. Michigan makes 75% of all the auto- mobiles in the world. The Uni- versity is located in just abot the center of an automobile section made up of Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Jackson, Lansing, Toledo, and Indian- apolis, a very progressive section. Not only are the students interested in the work but the automobile companies have taken a great interest. This is shown by the thousands of dollars worth of apparatus sent to the depart- ment. Too, they not only willingly but gladly send representatives each sem- ester to lecture before the student body. Each year, these companies offer positions to the graduates who have completed work in auto engineering. Professor Fishleigh said that this year the department was abletto locate every one of the graduates and could have placed three times as many in good positions with responsible com- panies. Fourteen of the most promin- ent companies in the country sent for graduates who had taken the auto en- gineering course and this fact may in- dicate the standing which the Univer- sity has in active industry.

Campbell and Prof. A. E. White for Success. The chemical engineering depart- ment has an interesting history. In the year 1895, following the lead of several eastern colleges, Michigan ablolished required work, leaving the freshman to select his own course. It was soon evident that this plan would never be successful so itwas aban- doned. The question as toile method of granting degrees was again of great importance, and in 1898, Prof. E. D. Campbell, of the chemistry depart- ment, sought permission of the engine- ering department for a degree of B. S. to be given students of chemistry, all of whom had heretofore been enrolled in the literary department. Since its founding, Professor Camp- bell retained charge of the depart- ment until 1914, when he gave the pos- ition to Prof. A. E. White who has since held it successfully. Under the administration of these two men the department has increased its scope until It is one of the best in the coun- try. According to Professor Campbell, the industries which offer opportuni- ities to the chemical engineer are many. All metallurgical operations which involve melting or even heat treatment of metals; the manufacture of cements, clay products and glass; the acid and alkali industries; all pro- cessess connected with the utilization of fuel for combustion, or destructive distillation to form gas, coke, and tar; water purification; manufacture of soap, paint and varnish; the bleaching and dyeing of cotton, wool and silk; and the manufacture of sugar, paper pulp and paper as well as of various kinds of explosives. TO LEARN HOW BREAD RISES ATTEND PROF. ZIEFLE'S COURSE Girls, do you want to become better housewives? Know the reason why bread "rises" and when the grocer is "putting one over on you" in the way of adulterated goods? If so, you should be attending the course in Household Science offered this summer by Prof. Adolf Ziefie. The purpose of the course is to furnish the student with a more intimate knowledge of the source, preparation, chemistry, struc- ture, and properties of the important food, drug, medicinal, cleansing, pre- serving, and textile materials, and to supply practical, simple tests for de- termining purity, strength, and adul- teration of the same. In the regular session, the course is given by Pro- fessor Schlotterbeck and Mr. Oellrich as chemistry 12. 11 .r It's Fun when 3ou can gel to be Theresthe funsfsososin thethirst -andshedelicio se fhe hirst quenchertsioveyoudoublepleasure.
