 D. Heard. In addition, Mr. Mellon has pro- 

 vided funds for the purchase and maintenance 

 of an electro-cardiograph apparatus. 



Outlines of a graduate course in aeronaut- 

 ical engineering leading to the master of arts 

 degree have been issued by the Massachusetts 

 Institute of Technology. The aerodynamical 

 laboratory on the new site has already been 

 described. It contains a wind tunnel of six- 

 teen square feet section which can be fur- 

 nished with currents up to nearly forty miles 

 an hour. Special forms of apparatus have 

 been provided including an aerodynamic bal- 

 ance, a duplicate of that in the National Phys- 

 ical Laboratory at Teddington, England. A 

 full battery of other needed instruments of 

 precision has been installed in the laboratory. 

 The courses will be under the general direc- 

 tion of Professor Cecil H. Peabody, head of 

 the department of naval architecture and ma- 

 rine engineering, and will be conducted by As- 

 sistant Naval Constructor, Jerome C. Hun- 

 saker, U. 8. N., who is detailed for the service 

 by the secretary of the navy. Courses in dy- 

 namics of rigid bodies and theoretical fluid 

 dynamics will be given by Professor E. B. 

 Wilson, Ph.D., professor of mathematics; in 

 explosion motors by Joseph C. Eiley, S.B., as- 

 sociate professor of heat engineering; while
