1912-13.] Obituary Notices. 335 
College — now the Royal Technical College, — Mr Jamieson was elected 
Professor of Engineering. After a time he devoted himself entirely to 
electrical engineering and resigned his professorship to engage in consult- 
ing work, his services being in great requisition amongst the engineering 
and shipbuilding firms on the Clyde. He was often engaged as consulting 
engineer for municipal and other engineering undertakings. 
Latterly Professor Jamieson organised on a large scale a system of 
correspondence tuition to prepare students for various engineering exami- 
nations. His well-known text-books on engineering subjects, now passed 
through many editions, serve as a fitting memorial to the great energy and 
persevering ability he displayed in educational matters. 
Professor Jamieson was a member of several engineering societies, the 
“ Proceedings ” and “ Transactions ” of which have been greatly enriched by 
his various contributions. 
The Institution of Civil Engineers awarded him a “ Telford Premium,” 
and the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland its gold 
medal. 
Professor Jamieson was the patentee of several inventions, notably a 
submarine signalling key and a special grapnel for hooking and raising 
submarine cables.
