DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 



69 



the dcpartmcut as clerk, has chosen to sever her connection with tlie 

 college, effective September 1, 1913, much to the regret, not only of 

 the teaching statf and students in the department, but to all in the di- 

 vision of engineering who have known her. 



It is unfortunate that the policy of the college in the matter of re- 

 muneration for clerical work makes it impossible to retain as efficient 

 a person as Miss Purcell. 



The material cqiiipiiie)il of the doi)artment has been increased by the 

 addition of a horizontal boring mill, an electric blue printing machine, 

 a 75-ton hydraulic testing machine, a fatigue testing machine, a sclero- 

 scope, many small tools and apparatus, purchased or built in the shops 

 and the entire equi])ment has been placed in good repair. 



The teaching cfficicnctj of the department is improving, due largely 

 to the permanency of the staff and to the interest shown by each of 

 the teachers in his work and that of others in the department, in the 

 division and in the college. 



The writer takes this opportunity to thank the teachers of the de- 

 partment and the students in their classes for the helpful and enthusi- 

 astic co-operation manifested during the year. 



Respectfully submitted, 



G. W. BISSELL, 

 Professor of Mechanical Engineering. 



East Lansing, Mich., June 30, 1913.
