UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.
Fine Display Made by the Engineer
ing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Exhibits.

Only those In close touch with. the
University of Utah know how rapidly
that institution has developed during
the last few years IN thf ltIe OF giyinl
engineering work. The excellent ex.
hibit Of work done In the state mining
school in connection with that instltu.
tion will be a pleasant surprise to the
public generally. Those engaged In en-.
cheering work are delighted because
the time has come when a training In
that important branch of practical
study can be had here in our own state
II is bow generally conceded by those
IN the engineering profession that the
course given by the university In the
various branches OF engineering are the
equal in every way of those given In
colleges Of the East
The specimens OF free hand pen and
ink sketchlng done by the freshmen are
well able TO make sketches of machines
that convey correct ideas TO those who
see them. The practical value OF such
training is evident to every one.
The lettering and geometrical designs
In mechanical drawing are so perfectly
made that many think them printed
copies instead OF hand work The free
hand lettering, the tinting with India
ink, and the spatter work are also ar
tistically executed. The monkey wrench
design drawn to scale is particularly
fine.
While the descriptive geometry A.
ings are nicely executed and the letter
ing well done, they seem to one not
familiar with the subject to be nothing
more than a senseless collection Of
lines.
The line Of drawings marked "stereo-
tony" which II is said means stone
work." show designs of stone arches,
bridges, and wing walls. things none
but builder or engineer can perhaps
appreciate.
The plates in Topography and let
tering" everyone will enjoy although
the Hill shading and Typographical
signs OF various kinds may not be APP
preciated by all.
The lovers Of machinery and machine
design win be delighted with the work
In mechanism which shows the curves
used In making the teeth of wheels.
and gives also designs OF racks and pin
ions, screws, nuts. bolts, bevel gears,
etc.
The blue prints Of roofs and bridges
designed by the advanced students. and
the stress diagrams given. do not oc-
cupy much space. but the drawings
show the excellence OF training the
students have had. The amount and
kind OF stress each member must re-
sist has been determined. and the mem
Der has been designed 10 resist that
stress safely with no loss OF material.
The pictures of the surveying class
while they we're at work during the last
summer show how practical the work
In surveying is and the excellent map
constructed by the boys OF the part OF
the Bullion Beck mine that they sur
veyed Is evidence that they did work
OF practical kind.
The typographical map called "The
Presidents Dream" show what every
citizen Of the state hope will, In the
not very distant future be a reality
The campus east OF the city VIII teen
be a mounds OF grass, with flowers
lakes and ponds scattered between and
instead OF but five buildings there will
be many, and there will be. too, an
athletic field with grand stands and
bleachers, and track and everything
that will make the heart Of the athlete
leap with joy.
Our University. the leading institu.
tion Of the state. Is growing with mar
Vicious rapldity. and II will certainly
be but few years when In all our fine
state II will be the monument OF which
all the citizens viii be most proud.
