They are also developing methods for making the work of the school known, to the people of the state in its true light and purpose. Other committees are considering methods for improving the comfort of engineering students and ways by which they may be able to get the most out of their college courses; the subject of engineering publica tions to be carried on to a large ex tent by the students of the school; the organizing and following up of the alumni in such a way as to make that body an integral part of the in stitution and to obtain as much di rect support from its members as is possible. Among other things these committees are endeavoring to develop a greater spirit of original, independent investigation and research among the the students.

The School of Engineering now ranks in student enrollment ell within the upper dozen in the United States and its alumni are held in high esteem by the industrial mana gers of the country. The present organization of the school is as follows: Civil Engineer ing, Prof. Walker; Electrical Engi neering, Prof. Jackson; Mechanical Engineering, Prof. Diemer; Draw ing, Prof. Wilson; Mechanics, Prof. Paul. The control of the schools is vested in an executive committee composed of the following men: Prof, Jackson. Dean of the School of Engineering; Prof. Diemer; Prof Wilson; Prof. Paul; Dr. Meyers. Tne entire corps of instructors com poses the faculty of the school, of which Dr. Meyers is secretary. Six 'O7 men are instructors in various departments of the college: C. D. Howard and M. F.

Klock was born at Charleston, Pa., 1875, and prepared f3r college at the Welsboro High school. He graduated at the Penna. State College in 1896 in the elec trical engineering course, and enter ed the employ of the government in 1903 as assistant electrical engineer ing in the signal Corps of the army. In 1904 he was made electrical en gineer of the signal corps, which position he held until 1908 when he became manager of a large auto mobile garage in Washington. During the time Mr. Klock was in the army signal service he made a great many improvements in the signals used between the forts, bat teries, armies in the field; and in the portable wireless telegraph outfits, many of which aie so small that they can be loaded on a mule. Among the best of his signal ap paratus is his field telephone by which a man can mount a horse and ride away while using the telephone. This is accomplished by carrying a wire with him as he rides and touching the horse with the other.
