DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 67 



While Avireless telegraphy and telephony comes in only iucideutally 

 in the course, we try to keep the subject before the minds of the students 

 throughout the course and at the same time encourage the high school 

 boys of tlie State to "dabble" in it — some of them more than "dabble" 

 in it and become quite proficient before they attend any class work 

 given on the subject. 



It seems entirely possible so far as the technology is concerned, to 

 communicate with the farmers of the State by means of the wireless 

 telejilione, and any bo}' or farmer can use the ordinary receiving "setup" 

 for listening. Tlie greatest difficulty will be to overcome the refusal 

 of the makers of the "tubes" to allow such use. 



The relation between electricity and chemistry has long been intimate, 

 and since the war the need for trained men wlio understand this rela- 

 tion is quite urgent, it seems as thougli this should be given some atten- 

 tion by this College; and tlie Electrical and Chemical departments are 

 ]danning to call the attention of the students to the opportunity of en- 

 gaging in commercial work based on this relation. Electrical Engineer- 

 ing 35, is a five credit course introduced as a beginning along this line 

 and we hope it will meet with response by tliem. 



Mr. P. G. Andres who has been with the department for two years 

 lias been given a year's leave of absence to go into practical work, and 

 I'rofessor L. S. Foltz of the Colorado Agricultural College has been 

 engaged in his place. 



Yours vei*y truly, 



A. II. SAWYER, 

 Professor of Electrical Engineering.
