During the year I have had charge of the preparation of photographs 

 for the college exhibit at the World's Fair. 



The negatives of college views are now in the care of Mr. Edgerton,

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS. 



President: 



Sir — I have the honor to make the following report of the department 

 of physics for the year ending June 30, 1893: 



Outside of my regular academic work, I have superintended the installa- 

 tion of elecAric lights in the armory and chapel, and extended the system 

 in the library. I also spent five weeks of the winter vacation at farmers' 

 institutes. 



I have met during the past year seven classes for lectures or recitations 

 and six classes for laboratory work. The following is an outline of the 

 work: 



Two classes in elementary physics, mechanical freshmen and agricult- 

 ural sophomores, each five days per week. The term was given to the 

 study of the composition and general properties of matter force and 

 motion, systems of units, hydrostatics, specific gravity, hydrodynamics, 

 properties of gases, atmosphere, barometer and apparatus dependent on 

 air. Fully illustrated by lecture table experiments. This term is the first 

 of a series of three terms, popular lectures and quizzes; supplemented by 

 a class in quantitative laboratory work covering the same ground.
