The Naval Tank.
In connection with this branch OF
the subject the University of Michigan
is unique. in that il possesses Il large
tank in which actual experiments upon
ship models can be made Ii is in
stalled with suitable machinery for
Icutting out models from drawings, so
that an exact reproduction Of the az .

itself Is 200 feet long. % feet wide, and
10 feet deep, and is sranned by a
travelling truck To which the models
may be attached and towed at any de-
sired speed. A dynamometer makes
a record of the resistance and speed,
so that the power required for any
speed and type of ship may readily
be calculated. A study can also be
made OF the various waves formed by
different models, with consequent i'm
provements in the shape SO that less

problems, such as methods or reduc-

that the student in tins line OF work
gets good general mechanical engin-
eering training as we'll as the special

On graduation, the positions open
to men are those in the offices or

of men each year and graduates gem
orally start at about 81 900 per year.

generosity and devotion exist, and YOU
know that they abound and give 10
your life its highest beauty and joy

Not believe in Santa Claus, You

You might get papa to hire men TO
