 1900: 



The work in the class rooms, drawing rooms, etc., has been conducted 

 as follows:

 mentary Kinematics by Prof. Weil. Experimental Laboratory and 

 Steam Engine Design by Mr. Smith. Shop Practice by Mr. Leonard.

At the beginning of the College year Mr. A. L. Westcott resigned his 

 position as senior instructor in this department to accept the position of 

 professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Montana. Mr. 

 Westcott's promotion is indicative of his ability and the character of his 

 work. 



After Prof. W^estcott withdrew from the department no addition was 

 made to our teaching force until January 1, 1900, when Mr. A. W. Mose- 

 ley was elected assistant professor of rnechanical engineering. Mr. 

 Moseley is a man of experience in engineering, both in practice and 

 teaching, — the latter experience having been gained as assistant and 

 instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
