Delaware College.

About fifty per cent of the total
of students at Delaware
College, are taking the engineering
and the number is grow
ing each year. In the present
Freshman class it is over so per
cent.
Four years ago there were six
young men in the first year class
taking the required course in shop
work. The following year their
number increased to 10; last year
it was IS, and this year the same
shop in which 10 freshmen took
their required work three years ago
now takes care of 20 students in
the same class alone. and as the
classes grow the demands upon the !
present equipment for the higher
class are also greater. Again, it !
may be stated that larger per
.centage each year of the total num-
Der attending the College are tax
ing the engineering courses.
Up to the present time, about
So, 900 has been put into machinery
and general supplies for the shop.
The course of instruction extends
throughout the four years and as
far as possible all departments of
the work are run under conditions
as they are found in practice. The
course is now being somewhat re-
organized so as to give more time
for each student in practice work.
The civil engineering students
have just built from blue print
drawings large model of bridge
similar to one of the standard de-
signs used on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The engineering stud
ents are now at work on four new
lathes for the shops, castings for
which have Just been made.
The College feels its pressing
need of more room; it should have
a department of Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering second to
none in any State College and ap
preaching that of some of the more
famous technical schools. Itneeds
an addition to its shop, which is
now all one room 80 feet by 90 #.

some new apparatus has been

out of repair for some time is grad

The BIack Watch Americanized.
The climax of all the Americanism
we saw in Europe came on the last
morning of our stay in Edinburgh,
when we went to the castle at the
proper hour to see the famous Black
Watch drill. When the soldiers lined
up on the east side of the plaza, there
were just 300 Scots. while on the west
side stood fully GOO American tourists
to watch them. Instead of dirks and

power plant, current at any volt
age up to 65 from the storage hat
terry, and current from the town
circuit can each be used and con
trolled at will when demanded for
lecture or laboratory work. II is
thus made possible to require of
the students reports on experiments
of considerable scientific and com
mercial importance. The appara-
tus for this special work { largely
electrical is valued at about $500
This includes a storage battery of
80 cells.
1t is believed that with a suit

ments of scientific worth might be
carried on by regular and graduate
students, and results reached by
the department which would in
turn reflect credit to the College.
By reason of the location of
the College and its general facili-
ties, a course in railroad engineer
ing can be made of special value
to many young men whose aims
are in that direction. In fact, such
a course is now planned for grad
yates and apparatus is being col
lected. The three railroads run
ming through Newark will afford
an opportunity for special study of
methods and equipment.
Engineering students are about
to have valuable practical training
in management of the electric light
plant of the College, which, it is
proposed, will be run by the Col
lege after May I, by advanced
students under the careful super
vision of the department, and the
current will be used to light the
dormitory and library. The young
men are greatly pleased with the
prospect of having this responsible
work come in the courses.
AT the close of the present school
year there will be a supplementary
term course covering one week in
experimental engineering. Seven
hours day of work from June 20
to p will be expected of those
taking the course. This year it
will be optional with the Sophie
more electrical and mechanical,
but its equivalent will be required
before graduation by these stud
ents; it will be optional with the
others. All of this applied work
however, is primarily to make the
theoretical studies of greater value
and to aid in requiring a high
standard of scholarship in the
mechanical subjects.
