No change was made during the year in the regular studies and exer- 

 cises of the department, but it became necessary, however, because of 

 the resignation of Prof. Chamberlain, to make a change in the apportion- 

 ment of work among the instructors. 



On account of the change recently made in the time of holding the long 

 vacation it was not found possible to build as much apparatus, or do as 

 much in the way of repairs, during the past year as in the case of previous 

 years. We have, however, during the past year, practically completed 

 a ten-inch wood lathe, with iron bed, and also made a number of small 

 tools. We have also thoroughly overhauled, and put in order, the shop 

 shafting, and repaired the pumps at the boiler house. At the present time 

 our shop instructors and a force of students are engaged in making repairs 

 and improvements in the various shops, and the work will be continued 

 during the greater part of the summer vacation.
