E~1utppfng Engineering Building
The university is getting ready to spend
$4,000 for the equipment Of the new en-
cheering building. A complete equipment
is planned for a working laboratory
and additional machinery will be purchased
for the foundry. Few additions will be
made TO the equipment now used in the
forging laboratory, but a number OF new
machines will be put in the machine tool
room. A new Corliss $50 horse power en-
CINE will be installed for mechanical en-
gineering students, and this will be of such
special design as to permit a wide range
OF experiments. A 25-horse power gas pro-
Queer and producer gas engine will also be
q part of the new equipment. Two turbine
pumps will be bought for use in the n.y.
dra1lics experiments. Besides these larger
pieces of apparatus there will be a vast
number OF minor parts and testing facill-
ties.
An artistic fountain of rough-hewn stone
will be the gift of the class OF 1909 to the
university. The fountain will be placed on
the university campus midway between the
library and the administration building.
IL will probably be ready within a week.
The gift of the graduating class is in ac-
cordance with the custom pursued for sew
eral years past by senior classes of the
university. Last years graduates donated
a life-size cast OF Demosthenes for the 10
tunda Of the temple. Other classes in the
past have given a marble dial for the cam
pIs. a stone seat and lige mementoes. The
gift of the 1909 graduates will excel in cost
that Of any previous class, running we'll
above 500. The fountain will be some six
feet in diameter, and it will be located lust
north OF the sun-dial in the center of the
quadrangle. 4 four-foot walk bordered BY
stone will surround the basin. In the cen
ter OF the pool will be a rough-heyn rock
three or four feet high on which will be
placed four drinking basins fed from the
fountain In the center. A tablet commerh-
Grating the class will be placed on the
front of the stone.
