FINE POSITION FOR NELSON

From the Worcester (Nass.) Daily
Telegram We get the following of in
terest to Mr.. Nelson's friends here:
John Harland Nelson has been
elected professor of applied mechanics
by the trustees of Worcester poly
technic institute, to succeed the late
Prof. Edward l.. Hancock.
Prof. Nelson has been at the head
of the department of applied me-
chanics, Case school of applied science
Cleveland, for the past three years,
and is a graduate of South Dakota
State College, where he received a b.
S. degree in engineering.
After two years postgraduate
work in his alma mater, and one
years work at the University of Hi
nois, he received the degree of master
of science in civil engineering from
the latter institution. His teaching
experience subsequent to his gradua-
ton and previous to his three years
work at Case school, was acquired in
the public schools of Iowa, where he
taught one year, and in South Dakota
state college, where he taught mathe-
MATES and mechanics for five years.
His practical experience has been
gained with the United States survey
or general for the state of South Da-
kOta and with the Milwaukee, St. Paul
& Puget Sound railroad as designer
in reinforced concrete. He is a men,
Der of the American society for the
testing of materials, and of the Society
for the promotion of engineering edu-
cation.
Prof. Nelson will begin his work in
Worcester at the opening of the insti-
tute this fall. He will be a member of
the department of mechanical engin-
eering, and will take charge of the
work in applied mechanics and the
OIL CLSIii vi iiIdlCIl dlS dDOIdlOIy
The new 100000 pound testing ma
chine, which has just been put in,
and which was paid for by the contri-
button of more than 100 alumni and
their friends of the institute, together
with the other equipment of the labor
atory, will give Prof. Nelson an ex-
ceptional opportunity for original in
v~estigation and commercial testing,
and it is expected this branch of the
institute work will continue to de-
velop under his charge.
The work in applied mechanics
since Prof. Hancock's death, which &C.
Cured in the fall of 1911, has been
carried On by r. +. Spaulding and F.
w. Roys, under the direction of Prof.
William w. Bird, head of the depart
ment of mechanical engineering.
MIR. Roys will be associated with
Prof. Nelson next institute year, while
Mr.. S%paulding will give all of his time
to the contracting company Of which
he is a member, as his connection
with the institute this year has been
due to his interest in the work and
his willingness to help put when the
death of Prof. Hancock called for i'm
mediate changes in the arrangements
for the year"
