REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. 



President F. S. Kedzie, 

 Michigan Agricultural College, 

 East Lansing, IMichigan. 



Dear Sir: 



I have the honor to submit the following report upon the Department of 

 Electrical Engineering, for the year ending June 30, 1921. 



TEACHING STAFF FOR THE YEAR. 



The teaching staff for the department was as follows : 



A. R. Sawyer, Professor. 



M. M. Cory, Associate Professor. 



L. S. Foltz, Associate Professor. 



E. E. Kinney, Instructor. 



R. D. Wyckoff, Special Research Instructor. 



Professor Foltz was head of the Department of Electrical Engineering at 

 the Colorado Agricultural College, and has given his attention particularly 

 to the work of the seniors in Alternating Currents. Mr. E. E. Kinney, who 

 graduated with the class of 1915 and came to us after several years of experi- 

 ence in the commercial field, has carried the work in Electrical Measurement, 

 Storage Batteries, and the D. C. Laboratory. Mr. Wyckoff, who graduated 

 last year, came to do some experimental work in Wireless Telegraph and 

 Telephony. These three men have added to the capacity of the depart- 

 ment very considerably and made it possible for us to accomplish more than 

 in previous years. 



The application of electrical principles to industrial work has been so 

 broad that it is impossible for one or two men to adequately cover the field.
