REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL 



ENGINEERING. 



President David Friday, 



Michigan Agricultural College. 

 Dear President Friday : 



The personnel of this department : 



Professor, A. R. Sawyer, 



Associate Professor, M. M. Cory, 



Associate Professor, L. iS. Foltz, 



Instructor, E. E. Kinney, 



Stenographer, Miss Jennie Belle Allan (part time), 

 has remained unchanged from last year — except that Mr. R. D. Wyckofif 

 has not been with us. Very little was done with radio study until the 

 spring term when two seniors did some work. 



We have now set up a sending station in a room intended for library 

 purposes and are doing some experimental sending — hoping to co-operate 

 with the many departments of the State in using it. The lack of definite 

 information as to what wave length to use, is causing a delay in its use. 

 A great day for Michigan Agricultural College will dawn When the de- 

 partments actually use broadcasting methods for imparting public in- 

 formation. 



The Engineering Departments of this College can be of very consider- 

 able value to the so-called State Departments in technical work, more 

 than they have been in the past — with an outlay of relatively little money.
