ENGINEERING NOTES
On Tuesday afternoon, December
17, Mr. H. Kirschberg, of the
Cooper-Hewitt Electric Company,
gave a lecture on the Cooper-Hew
itt mercury vapor lamps. A num
ber of lamps of different types
have been sent to the college to be
used by Mr. Kirschberg for demon
stration purposes.
A three day test was made at the
Milton plant of the Northumberland
Gas and Electric Co., at the request
of the manager of the company.
The test began Friday, December
6, and lasted till Sunday night.
The work was done by Messrs. E.
T. Smith, H. W. Koon, H. E.
Karcher, F. R. Hoffman, T. W. Har
ris, P. G. Thayer, J. H. Burgess, L.
H. Blouch, I. P. Nippes, and G. P.
Murphy, under the direction of Mr.
J. O. Kammerman and Mr. J. P.
Calderwood. The test was for the
particular purpose of determining
the efficiency of the plant when op
erated at heavy overloads, as is now
done, and to obtain information in
reference to proposed enlargements
and alterations in the present plant.
The General Electric Company
has presented the Electrical Engi
neering Department with two ozona
tors, one for household use, and the
other for use in purifying the air in
theaters and large assembly halls
and restaurants, etc.
The Mechanical Engineering De
partment received a gift last week
of a 30 H. P. Franklin Air Cooled
Motor, from the H. H. Franklin
Company, Syracuse, N. Y. The
motor will be used in connection
with the tests that are being made
on carburetors for kerosene motors.
John Price Jackson, Dean School
of Engineering, was in Harrisburg,
Monday, December 16, conferring
with certain State officials with ref
erence to the licensing of engineers,
and other kindred subjects.
WE WONDER.
Whether our Armory is not in
demand this winter.
Whether the student body real
izes that examinations start during
the fourth week in January.
Whether Hollenback’s All-Amer
ican selection could not play rings
around any other team chosen by
other experts.
Whether we have not had one of
the greatest authorities in the foot
ball world this fall at Penn State.
How our calendar can be made
more complete.
Whether the cost of chalk has
not decreased by the increased
amount used in the “walk method.”
Whether we should not try to
make Christmas as pleasant as pos
sible for those who, cannot go
home.
Whether some of the spectators
at the interclass wrestling meet
were afraid of catching colds in
their heads.
Whether some person will sug
gest a scheme by which dead
notices could be removed from our
bulletin boards.
Hereafter the students at Vassar
College will be placed on their
honor regarding examinations, trips
out of town, attending social func
tions, and the governing of their
movements which have in the past
been regulated by the watchful eyes
of the officials.
■mh I’KNN STATE O
THE FARMERS’ WEEK
Visitors Will Arrive in State Col
lege December 26—A Good Pro
' gram Will Be Carried Out.
Each year farmers throughout
Pennsylvania are invited to spend a
week at the college with the scien
tists who are working upon agricul
tural problems. This year the an
nual “Farmers’ Week" includes
those dates from December 26 to
January 2. The program has re
ceived the usual careful considera
tion, and will consist of instructive
speeches on every conceivable sub
ject of interest to farm breeders —
agronomy, animal husbandry,
dairying and horticulture. A spe
cial invitation has been issued to all
former Penn State agricultural stu
dents to attend this Farmers’Week,
and a splendid reunion will be
planned for December 31.
Some of the prominent speakers,
besides those who are members of
our faculty, are: G. A. Billings,
United States Department of Agri
culture; B. E. Carmichael, Ohio Ex
periment Station; J. C. Duncan,
President American Shropshire As
sociation; C. H. Eckles, University
of Missouri; W. W. Farnsworth,
Waterville, O.; C. W. Gay, Univer
sity of Pennsylvania; J. G. Lipman,
N. J. Experiment Station; C. J.
Marshall, State Veterinarian; T. E.
Martin, Syracuse, N._Y.; B. H.
Rawl, United States Department of
Agriculture; J. E. Rice, Cornell
University; C. H. Totty, Madison,
N. J.; C. J. Tyson, Flora Dale, Pa.,
C. G. Williams, Ohio Experiment
Station; W. T. Wittman, Allentown,
Pa.
BY THE WAY.
A course of study known as the
Special Technique of Football, will
be begun in the University of Wis
consin by order of the director
of physical training. The course,
to be given two hours’ a week
during December and January,
will include the history of the
game, the theory of defense, and
offense, team and individual play,
principles of practice, training in
struction, and coaching. There will
be a study of the systematic ar
rangement of schedules, and the
rules and duties of the various
officials, the management of teams
and financial administration.
This course for which university
credit is to be given will be open to
juniors, seniors, or graduates who
have had practical experience in
the game.
The medical director of Dart
mouth University has successfully
tried out a plan by which he claims
to have reduced cases of epidemic
colds, influenza, and bronchitis by
about one half. Five years ago he
began making bacteriological ex
aminations of the air of the college
halls and recitation rooms and found
a periodical variation in the number
of bacteria colonies that developed
on the culture media exposed in the
usual open shallow dishes. If any
room showed more than thirty-five
colonies or clusters to a dish the
room was disinfected with formal
dehyde. It was this method of
disinfection that cut down the cases
of sickness from lung or throat
troubles in Dartmouth. The re
sults have been surprising, in the
amount of sickness reduced among
the undergraduate body.
