shop, equipped with lathes, planers, grinding, drilling, 

 and milling machines, etc. Power is supplied from a 

 turbine located at the bottom of the gorge on the north, 

 two hundred feet below, the connection being by means 

 of an endless cable. Next to the machine shop is the 

 wood- working shop, of the same size and equally well 

 equipped. Adjoining this is the mechanical laboratory, 

 occupying the north-east corner. This is equipped with 

 a variety of instruments of precision adapted for making 

 every sort of test that the engineer is called upon to 

 secure in the course of his practice. Passing through 

 this, the visitor enters the modelling room, in which 

 interesting specimens of modelling in clay by students 

 are usually to be seen. Rooms for the University Press, 

 and apartments for the janitor occupy the -remainder of 

 the building. The circuit of the shops is now complete, 

 and one of the most interesting parts of the institution 

 that provides ' 'instruction in any study ' ' has demon- 

 strated how thoroughly the University is fulfilling its 

 purposes. 



After leaving Sibley College no visitor should fail to 

 cross the road on the north and follow the walk along 

 Fall Creek gorge eastward to Triphammer Fall. Just 

 before reaching the fall a jutting rock gives one of the 

 finest views of the ravine any where to be obtained. A 

 little beyond Triphammer Fall there is a pleasant grove 

 on the bank that is a favorite resort of picnic parties.
