Organization of the Academic Division of the Institute.

Instruction at the Institute was conducted in accordance with the curricula approved and appended to the report, with the following deviations:

In the second half of the reporting year the course in graphical statics was not delivered, owing to the late arrival of the newly ap-

of the appointed professor. This course was transferred to the first half of the 1903 calendar year. The course in the art of construction was not given, owing to the absence of an instructor; this course was likewise transferred to 1903; the course in architecture was given in the second half of the reporting year, 4 hours instead of 2, and was fully completed by January 1, 1903. Hydraulics for students of the 3rd year of the mechanical division was not given in the second half of the reporting year because of the late arrival of the newly appointed instructor—it has been transferred to the 2nd half-year of the 1902/3 academic year, and in place of it, during the second half-year, the entire course in steam engines was delivered (4 hours).

Practical classes were conducted in the first half of the reporting year in the 1st year in differential calculus (1 hour), analytical geometry (1 hour), and mechanics (2 hours). For these classes the students were divided into 7 groups.

In the 2nd year these classes were conducted in the mechanical division in integral calculus (2 hours) and mechanics (2 hours), and in strength of materials in both divisions (1 hour); for these subjects the students were divided into 2 groups.

In the second half of the reporting year, classes in these subjects were conducted as follows: in the 1st year, in differential calculus (2 hours), analytical geometry (1 hour), descriptive geometry (2 hours), and mechanics (1 hour), with the students for all these classes divided into 8 groups.

In the 2nd year: in the mechanical division, in integral calculus (2 hours), mechanics (2 hours), and theory of mechanisms (1 hour), and in the mining and chemical divisions—in integral calculus (1 hour); for these classes the students were divided into 4 groups (2 in the mechanical division and 2 in the mining and chemical divisions), except for the classes in the course on the theory of mechanisms, which were conducted with all students of the mechanical division.

Classes in drawing in the first half of the reporting year in the 1st year consisted of drawing various models of machine parts from life (6 hours), and the students were divided into 6 groups; in the 2nd year the classes consisted of calculating and drawing various machine parts (4 hours); the students were divided into 2 groups. In the second half of the year, for drawing classes the students of the 1st year were divided into 8 groups, and the classes themselves consisted of dra—

drawing sketches and solving problems in descriptive geometry (6 hours per week). In the second year the students were divided into 5 groups and studied architectural drawing (4 hours).

The drawing programs are placed in the appendices.

For classes in drawing (4 hours), the first-year students were divided in the first half of the reporting year into 4 groups, and in the second half into 5 groups.

In the third year the students studied architectural design (3 hours), for which they were divided into 2 groups; for design in mechanics, 6 hours were assigned in the mechanical division, and the students of this division were divided into 2 groups; in the chemical division of the third year, 1 hour was assigned for design in mechanics.

Classes in physics, both in the first and in the second half of the reporting year, were conducted in the physics laboratory.

For the classes of first-year students, 4 days were allotted (2 hours each), and therefore the students were divided into 4 groups; for second-year students, 2 days of 2 hours each were allotted. The list of problems proposed to the students is placed in the appendices.

In the chemical laboratory, in the first half of the reporting year, second-year students of the chemical division worked 15 hours, those of the mechanical division 3 hours, and first-year students of the chemical division 5 hours; in the second half of the year, second-year students of the chemical and mining divisions worked (15 hours), while classes with second-year students of the mechanical division were not held and were postponed to the first half of 1903 owing to a shortage of laboratory assistants. A further difficulty is presented by the absence of a gas plant, the construction of which is planned only for the building season of 1903.

Students of the first and second years of the mining division and students of the second year of the chemical division worked in the mineralogical laboratory; first-year students of all divisions also worked in the geodetic cabinet in order to become acquainted with geodetic instruments and the methods of checking and using them. For these classes, ½ hour per week was allotted; the students were divided into 8 groups, each of which worked 3 hours at a time over 8 weeks.

Council.

The Council of the Institute, under the chairmanship of the Director of the Institute, consisted in the first half of 1902 of the following professors: D. N. Belikov, V. A. Obruchev, I. I. Bobarykov, F. E. Molin, N. M. Kizhner, D. P. Turbaba, V. L. Nekrasov, A. E. Sabek, N. N. Saltykov, A. I. Efimov, and I. I. Ronchevsky; and in the second half of the year of the following professors: D. N. Belikov, V. A. Obruchev, I. I. Bobarykov, F. E. Molin, N. M. Kizhner, D. P. Turbaba, A. E. Sabek, N. N. Saltykov, A. I. Efimov, I. I. Ronchevsky, A. A. Potebnya, N. I. Kartashov, G. L. Tiraspolsky, and M. E. Yanishevsky. The secretary of the Council was the ordinary professor D. P. Turbaba. During 1902, the Council held 14 meetings, at which questions were discussed concerning curricula, programs, the selection of professors, and so forth.

Among the special resolutions of the Council, the following should be noted:

I) The resolution of the Council of March 27, 1902, approved by the Ministry of Public Education, on introducing an elementary course in the technology of metals into the first year of the Institute. Such an introduction is, in the opinion of the Council, necessary, since students already in the first year, in drawing from nature, and even more so in the second year, where drawing consists of designing machine parts, need information on the properties of various metals.

II) The resolution of the Council of April 19 concerning the introduction of temporary rules for student organizations, when the Council adopted the following wording for its conclusion on the aforesaid question:

1) The temporary rules have not been introduced, for the students resolved not to submit any petitions for the introduction of organizations in accordance with these rules.

2) With regard to desirable changes and additions, the Council considers it necessary to state the following: princi-

bearing in mind that the “temporary rules” deem it necessary to introduce student organizations into the very structure of higher educational institutions, while at the same time the Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute is completely unaware in what direction and to what extent the charter of higher educational institutions will be reformed, the Council is at present deprived of the opportunity to express itself in detail concerning the charter of future student organizations.

Therefore the Council can only indicate, in general outline, those shortcomings of the “temporary rules” which, in its opinion, have caused the students of the Institute to take a negative attitude toward the introduction of organizations on the basis of these rules.

Their most important shortcomings are: 1) excessive guardianship, extended to all forms of student organizations, expressed in the mandatory presence of persons from the teaching or administrative staff at all student meetings (§§ 6 and 8), in the direction or chairmanship by those same persons in all student institutions (§§ 21, 32, 34, 39, 42, 46, 52), and in special supervision (by administrative staff only) over order in libraries, reading rooms, tea rooms, and dining halls (§§ 35 and 46), these persons being charged not only with the duties of guiding the students, but also of bringing them to account (§ 8); 2) the mandatory presence at student meetings of a person from the professorial or administrative staff, which is especially undesirable if that person belongs to the inspectorate; 3) the absence of a comrades’ court and of organizations of regional associations among the student institutions permitted by these rules. 4) Finally, the last of the more important shortcomings is the burdening of course elders with excessively numerous duties; the mandatory participation of elders in committees for the management of guardianships, the treasury, the dining hall, the library, and the reading room is unnecessary. Nor should the elder be obliged to monitor the absence from course meetings of students from other courses and of outsiders. The Council believes that a course elder should be only the trusted representative of his course and an intermediary in relations between the students and the head of the educational institution. The elder should answer for his actions not only before the Council of the Institute (§ 18), but also before his comrades.

III) On the question of distributing the supplement to the salaries of members of the teaching staff and the physician from the 20% supplement proposed for release from the beginning of the coming academic year, the Council, at its meeting of October 31 of the reporting year, expressed itself in the following form:

The Council has already expressed its view on the desirable remuneration in the draft of the new staff list submitted by it, but at the same time it finds it necessary to state that, above all, the salaries of those employees must be increased who, under the staff list, receive an excessively insignificant remuneration, which is at the same time the reason why the positions often remain vacant; such will be the positions of junior and senior laboratory assistants, the physician, the feldsher, the librarian and his assistant.

It is hardly necessary to adduce arguments concerning the impossibility of finding laboratory assistants at a salary of 750 rubles per year, but the Council considers it necessary to petition for a considerable increase in their salary, so that a laboratory assistant would not need to seek earnings on the side, but would devote more time to the laboratory and to work with students; as regards the physician, the Council finds that it is necessary to increase his salary and provide him with an apartment, so that the physician would not need to seek another official position; moreover, with so large a population as there will be at the Tomsk Technological Institute, the proximity of a physician is necessary; at the same time the Council finds it necessary to petition for an increase in the salary of the feldsher, since for the regular staff salary it has so far not been possible to find a permanent feldsher in Tomsk, and it was necessary to invite a railway feldsher, who comes only to the physician’s reception hours. The Council considered it its duty also to petition for an increase in the salary of the librarian, since for the regular staff amount it has so far not been possible to find a librarian, and it is necessary to place the duties upon one of the professors.

Then, on the question of increasing the salaries of the professors, the Council expressed itself on the necessity of raising the salaries in particular of those professors who are in charge of laboratories and direct work in the laboratories, since laboratories and the supervision of laboratory work take much time and are not paid for separately,

meanwhile, as professors who do not have laboratories are engaged for no more than seven hours a week, and when the number of hours of instruction is increased they receive remuneration for each extra hour at 200–300 rubles per year; therefore the Council petitions that, pending resolution of the petition previously submitted by the Council, the professors be assigned from the 20-percent supplement at least five hundred rubles for the management of laboratories.

As for the remuneration of instructors, which is determined according to the number of hours of their classes, under the present staff establishment it is not entirely satisfactory only with respect to some of them. Under the present staff establishment, 1 hour of lectures is paid at three hundred rubles per year; one hour of supervision of design work in the 4th and 5th years likewise at three hundred; and 1 hour of supervision of design work in the 3rd year, drafting in the 2nd and 1st years, drawing, practical classes in mathematics, mechanics, etc., at two hundred rubles. From the latter category it is necessary to single out the supervision of design work in the 3rd year, which, in the opinion of the Council, should be paid in the same way as supervision of design work in the 4th and 5th years, i.e. at three hundred rubles, as well as the supervision of drafting in the second year, which at the Tomsk Technological Institute is organized in such a way that it is essentially the design of details, requires preparation on the part of the supervisor, and therefore should be paid at a higher rate than supervision of drafting in the 1st year—namely, in the opinion of the Council, at two hundred and fifty rubles per hour. In this regard, the Council finds it fair to make this increase in salaries only for instructors who do not receive a fixed stipend; if, however, the classes are conducted by professors receiving a professorial stipend, and if these hours are additional for them, then they should receive remuneration for them according to the previous norm.

Below is given a table of the regular staff stipends and of the projected distribution of the twenty-percent supplement proposed by the Ministry.

The total amount of the increment to all regular salaries is expressed in the sum of 39,090 rubles per year, which will constitute 20% of the amount allocated under the staff schedule for the maintenance of the teaching personnel, the librarian, the physician, and the medical assistant. In conclusion, the Council does not consider itself entitled, on the basis of the circular concerning remuneration for other employees of the Institute, whose duties are administrative and not instructional in character (the director and the deans, among others, are included here), but considers it no less its moral duty to point out that the regular salaries of these employees are also very low, and therefore an increase in them is desirable as soon as possible.

III. A petition has been initiated for the establishment of a third chair of chemistry.

Students.

As of January 1, 1902, the Institute had the following students: in the first year, 136 in the mechanical department, 104 in the mining department, and 62 in the chemical department; in the second year, 54 in the mechanical department and 15 in the chemical department, for a total of 371. In addition, there were auditors: 3 in the first year and 3 in the second year. During the first half-year 71 left the Institute. Thus, by the end of the 1901/2 academic year there were 194 students in the first year and 64 in the second year.

On the basis of examinations the following were promoted to the next years: to the third year, 40 from the mechanical department and 4 from the chemical department; to the second year, 76 from the mechanical department, 56 from the mining department, and 31 from the chemical department. In addition, 2 former students of the Kharkov Technological Institute, one former student of the Tomsk Technological Institute, and 2 persons who had completed the course of the Krasnoufimsk Realschule passed the examinations and were enrolled among the students of the 2nd year; of these, one was admitted to the 2nd year of the mechanical department, 3 to the 2nd year of the mining department, and one to the 2nd year of the chemical department. Left for a second year in the same year were: in the 2nd year, 11 students of the mechanical department and 9 students of the chemical department; moreover, among them two students of the mechanical department and four students of the chemical department passed supplementary examinations in crystallography and were transferred to the mining department. In the 1st year the following were left for a second year: 12 students of the mechanical department, 15 students of the mining department, and 4 students of the chemical department.

In August of the reporting year, competitive examinations were held for the admission of students to all four departments: Mechanical, Civil Engineering, Mining, and Chemical; moreover, in accordance with the decision of the Council, the announced number of vacancies was 100 in the Mechanical Department, 50 in the Civil Engineering Department, 100 in the Mining Department, and 50 in the Chemical Department.

The total number of those who submitted applications for admission was 555: 230 in the Mechanical Department, 198 in the Mining Department, 70 in the Chemical Department, and 57 in the Civil Engineering Department. Of these, 111 persons were admitted without competitive examinations, in accordance with § 25 of the Statute on the Tomsk Technological Institute, being natives of Asiatic Russia or having completed the course of secondary educational institutions of Asiatic Russia: 46 to the Mechanical Department, 44 to Mining, 4 to Chemical, and 17 to Civil Engineering. 313 persons took the competitive examinations, of whom 228 were admitted: 67 to the Mechanical Department, 69 to Mining, 53 to Chemical, and 39 to Civil Engineering. Thus, initially 339 persons were enrolled as students; subsequently, in accordance with the permission of the Minister of Public Education to increase by percent the quota for persons of the Jewish faith, 8 more persons of the Jewish confession, who had passed the competition but had not previously been admitted for lack of vacancies for persons of the Jewish faith, were enrolled.

In addition, 15 candidates were assigned to ten ministerial vacancies, of whom 11 persons actually arrived.

Of those admitted without competitive examinations, 10 persons did not appear at the Institute; in addition, 16 left the Institute at their own request, and one died. Thus, as of January 1, 1903, there were 591 students at the Institute.

Departments I yr. II yr. III yr. Total
Mechanical 113 96 43 252
Mining 112 73 — 185
Chemical 59 35 4 98
Civil Engineering 56 — — 56
Total 343 201 47 591

The distribution of students by place of birth and by religious denominations is shown in Appendix No. 5. In addition, 18 persons are enrolled at the Institute as auditors.

The students’ attendance, both in the first half of the past year and especially in the second, was quite satisfactory with regard to attendance at practical classes and drafting rooms. Attendance at lectures is sufficiently satisfactory only at the beginning of the academic year, i.e., in September, October, and the beginning of November, and then begins to weaken considerably. At the beginning of January of the past year, trial half-year examinations were held, and more than half of the students took them.

The significance of these examinations, as a relief for the spring examinations on the one hand, and on the other as a means of distributing their studies evenly, is entering the students’ consciousness, and they take them willingly.

In material terms the students are not sufficiently provided for. At the disposal of the Committee for Student Affairs there were, in the first half-year, 25 state scholarships, and in the second, 50. In addition, there were 8 scholarships from various cities of Siberia.

In the first half-year twenty-two students enjoyed state scholarships of 300 rubles, and in the second, fifty students; the remainder from the state scholarships, amounting to 2,250 rubles, was distributed to students in the form of one-time grants. In addition to state scholarships, various societies assigned the following scholarships and grants.
