DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 137 



Since March 6th the departmeut has occupied temporary quarters pro- 

 vided mainly in the Agricultural Building, with an occasional assign- 

 ment of classroom space elsewhere about the campus. In the Agricul- 

 tural Buildiug, a part of room 14 was used for storing- our instruments 

 and other equipment besides providing desk space for Assistant Profes- 

 sor Melick and Mr. Philp. Room 211 aiforded office space for Professor 

 Vedder and Mr. Davies, while room 312 Avas similarly used by Mr. 

 Hitchcock, Mr. Cade, and Assistant Professors Saxton and Gehring. 

 Giving up offices, classrooms and laboratories for our use has undoubt- 

 edly inconvenienced the teachers in the Division of Agriculture, but their 

 sacrifices appear to have been made cheerfully and are sincerely apprc 

 ciated by all teachers in the Department of Civil Engineering. 



The tabulation below records the classroom activities of the depart- 

 ment for the year, except the single item of one class of 18 students in 

 M. E. 6b, Kinematics, conducted by Mr. Davies in the winter term, for 

 which purpose his services were loaned to the department of Mechanical 

 Engineering. During the same term Mr. Davies carried out an assign- 

 ment of thirty hours per week in adjusting, cleaning and arranging our 

 equipment of surveying instruments.
