ORGANIZATION OF THE ACADEMIC DIVISION.

In the first half of the reporting year, the Mechanical and Chemical Departments consisted of four courses, the Mining Department of three, and the Civil Engineering Department of two; in the second half of the year the Mechanical and Chemical Departments consisted of all five courses, the Mining Department of four, and the Civil Engineering Department of three.

Instruction was conducted in accordance with the approved curricula appended to the report. Deviations were insignificant, namely: in the first half of the year, in the Civil Engineering Department, the separate course in the art of construction was not given, nor was the course common to all departments, owing to the absence of an instructor; in the second half of the year the following courses were not given: architecture, common to all departments, and the course in the art of construction in the mechanical, mining, and chemical departments, in view of the fact that the civil engineer Ensh, newly appointed to the chair of the art of construction, requested that his teaching be postponed until the second half-year.

In the first half of the year, owing to the illness of Professor Kizhner, organic chemistry was taught by acting extraordinary professor Ya. I. Mikhailenko, and in the Chemical Department the number of hours was increased to 6, since, because of Prof. Kizhner’s illness, the course was almost not taught in the first half-year.

Much attention was paid to practical classes. In the first years, practical exercises were established in mathematics, theoretical mechanics, descriptive geometry, strength of materials, graphical statics, and the theory of mechanisms. These classes consist in solving problems relating to the course. For these classes the students are divided into groups of 35–40 persons, and a special instructor is appointed for each group. Wishing to establish uniformity of classes in all groups, and also to connect the practical exercises with the course, the professors and teachers lecturing on the subject issue problems on separate sheets by lithographic method. These problems are then proposed by the group instructors as material for the exercises, with the problem sheets being distributed to all students.

The students recognize the usefulness of these exercises and attend them diligently, despite the fact that no attendance records are kept; there were many cases when students asked that additional hours be appointed during holiday time, in order to be able to work through the problems and proceed in parallel with the course.

The following laboratory classes have been established:

In the physical laboratory. Under the direction of Prof. A. I. Efimov and laboratory assistant V. S. Titov.

In consequence of the fact that in the past 1904/5 academic year the number of students in both junior years of the Institute was very large, namely, 400 persons were enrolled in the first year, and 321 persons in the second year, the division of the students of each year into 4 shifts, as had been done previously, and the conduct of classes on 4 evenings a week, in 2 halls located on different floors simultaneously with 2 numerous groups under 2 instructors—the professor himself and laboratory assistant V. S. Titov—would have been very difficult and of little productivity; the professor therefore had this time to depart from the former procedure and replace it with the following: the students of each year were divided into shifts of 20 persons, and each shift worked in pairs with one instructor for one week, 4 evenings, according to the schedule from 5 to 7 o’clock, and in practice until 8 p.m.

For the first year, Mr. Titov directed the classes, and the work related to mechanical physics and heat. Certain works requiring greater skill and explanation, such as, for example, 1) methods of precise weighing on analytical balances, 2) determination of the acceleration of gravity by means of Bessel’s thread pendulum, 3) determination of the velocity of sound in solid bodies by Kundt’s method, 4) determination of the coefficient of expansion of solid bodies by means of a micrometric screw and a sensitive lever, 5) determination of specific heat, and for some also 6) eudiometric analysis of air, were carried out by Mr. Titov himself simultaneously with several pairs, which did not prevent some pairs from subsequently repeating these works independently as well; the less complex works, such as, for example, deter—

the determination of densities by means of hydrostatic and spring balances, Mohr balances, and Tralles’ areometer, were performed by separate pairs directly. Thus, over 11 weeks, from 11 October to 17 December, 196 persons managed to work in the physical laboratory. The number of works performed, including also those that several pairs carried out simultaneously together with the supervisor, ranged between 6 and 14, and for the majority reached 10 works. Unfortunately, the submission by the students of the brief reports accepted earlier on the works performed was delayed, and in the end they were submitted by only 38 practicum students.

In the second course the supervisor was Professor A. I. Efimov. On the first day of classes for each group, before they began, there was a brief explanation of the determination of each of the three quantities entering into the expression of Ohm’s law, and in an experiment, by means of an ammeter, voltmeter, and rheostat, the presence of this law in a part of a galvanic circuit was verified, after which the practicum students proceeded in pairs to carry out the works.

In doing so, the professor saw to it that each pair performed the following determinations:

1) determination of the resistances of wires by means of Wheatstone’s bridge.
2) determination of the conversion factor of a tangent galvanometer by calculation and verification of the ammeter.
3) determination of the same factor with the aid of a voltmeter.
4) comparison of electromotive forces by Fechner’s method.
5) comparison of the same forces by the compensation method.
6) plotting, with the aid of a small magnetic needle, the lines of force of the field of two differently arranged magnets.

In addition, some of the practicum students managed to perform other works as well, such as, for example, determining the specific resistance of an electrolyte by means of alternating current and a telephone, determining the conversion factor of an electrodynamometer by means of a voltmeter, determining resistance by the substitution method, and comparing electromotive forces by the sum and difference.

In this way, over 10 weeks, from 18 October to 17 December, 160 persons managed to work in the physical laboratory, of whom 78 submitted reports. The number of works performed ranged between 4 and 8 and for the majority equaled 6.

From this experience it may be concluded that if the instructional sessions had continued successfully, all students of both junior courses would have managed to work in the physical laboratory, and, judging by the results achieved, this method of physical practical training would probably have been little inferior to the former one, since in previous years the number of submitted reports exceeded 8 only in a few cases.

Chemical Laboratory. Division of qualitative analysis—under the direction of Prof. Ya. I. Mikhailenko and laboratory assistants A. P. Kalishev, P. G. Mushinsky, and F. A. Belyshev. In this division of the laboratory pass through

qualitative analysis for second-year students of the chemical and mining departments, but not all students manage to complete it in the second year; some carry part of it over to the third year, which until now has not been considered an obstacle to promotion to the third year. Students of the mechanical and civil-engineering departments also work in this laboratory, but according to a brief, specially developed program (Appendix No. 2), whose purpose is only to facilitate the students’ mastery of the basic principles of chemistry.

The Department of Quantitative Analysis and Physical Chemistry is under the direction of Professor D. P. Turbaba and laboratory assistant S. M. Filatov. In this department, third-year students of the chemical and mining departments study quantitative analysis.

The Department of Organic Chemistry is under the direction of Prof. N. M. Kizhner and laboratory assistant D. V. Alekseev. The work consisted of the preparation of organic compounds. Sixteen students of the fourth and third years of the chemical department were engaged in organic analysis and the determination of molecular weight. Two fourth-year students of the chemical department carried out special works (diploma projects). In addition, a special work was conducted by Miss Tsvetaeva, a graduate of the Higher Women’s Courses, who had been admitted to the laboratory.

The techno-chemical laboratories are not yet fully equipped, but classes are also conducted in them.

In the metallurgical laboratory, under the direction of Professor I. I. Ronchevsky and laboratory assistant V. Ya. Mostovich, fourth- and fifth-year students of the chemical department and fourth-year students of the mining department specializing in metallurgy studied the analysis of ores and metals. A fifth-year student of the chemical department conducted a special work (diploma project).

In the laboratory of the chemical technology of food substances, under the direction of Professor N. L. Zubashev and laboratory assistant S. V. Lebedev, third-year students of all departments studied the determination of the calorific value of fuel by means of the Berthelot–Mahler calorimetric bomb and the analysis of flue gases, while students of the mechanical and civil-engineering departments studied the technical analysis of fuel and water; students of the chemical and mining departments did not perform the latter analyses, since they studied these analyses in the quantitative analysis laboratory. Fourth- and fifth-year students of the chemical department interested in the division of food-substance technology studied the analysis of bread, potatoes, malt, beets, starch, sugar, molasses, and the preparation of a charcoal preparation. In all, six fourth-year students were engaged in this work. One fifth-year student carried out a special work (diploma project).

In the laboratory of the chemical technology of organic substances, under the direction of Professor V. N. Dzhons and laboratory assistant N. N. Vorozhtsov, fourth-year students of the chemical department engaged in investigations of illuminating gas, fats, and tanning substances, and in the preparation of compounds relating to the field of fat technology.

In the laboratory of chemical technology of inorganic substances, under the direction of Professor A. E. Sabek and laboratory assistant V. F. Yuferev, one fifth-year student of the chemical division carried out a diploma project (the action of acids on the purest clays).

In the electrotechnical laboratory, under the direction of Professor A. A. Potebnya and laboratory assistant A. A. Levchenko, the work of third-year students consisted of the experimental solution of the following problems:

Determination of the resistance of conductors, incandescent lamps, galvanometers, and cells.

Determination of the electromotive force of cells and accumulators.

Calibration and verification of ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, and meters.

Determination of the insulation resistance of wires and locating places where it is damaged.

The work of fourth- and fifth-year students consisted of the following:

Precise determination of the specific resistances of conductors of various metals.

Determination of the magnetic properties of iron and construction of the corresponding curves.

Starting and braking of direct-current motors.

Study of direct- and alternating-current dynamos and construction of characteristics.

In the geodesic laboratory, under the direction of instructor P. K. Sobolevsky and laboratory assistant D. V. Frost, first-year students of all divisions studied geodesic instruments and solved, on sand models, certain geodesic problems (program, appendix No. 2).

Botanical cabinet—under the direction of Professor V. V. Sapozhnikov. The work of third-year students of the chemical division consisted in mastering microscopic practice in plant anatomy: forms of the cell, protoplasm and nucleus, plastids, starches, inulin, aleurone, crystals, and other constituent parts of the cell; forms of tissues: formative, vascular, fundamental, protective; lignification and corking of the cell wall and reactions to cellulose, wood substance, and cork. Special attention was devoted to the forms of starch grains, and the students were assigned several compulsory problems on studying the composition of flour (microscopic analysis). Fifth- and fourth-year students of the chemical division began work in microbiology.

In the mineralogical laboratory—under the direction of Professor A. M. Zaitsev and laboratory assistants A. V. Emelyanov and P. P. Pilipenko—in the spring half-year, students of the second year of the mining (53 persons) and chemical (10 persons) divisions worked in the laboratory; in all, 63 persons. The work consisted in the students’ determining minerals—not silicates (45 problems in number)—by means of the blowpipe, by the dry and wet methods. Of the above-mentioned number of students, the following completed the work: 40 persons in the mining division and 1 in the chemical division.

In the autumn half-year, the students engaged in work were: of the 2nd year of the mining department (8 persons) and of the chemical department (1 person), and of the 3rd year of the mining department (35 persons); in all, 44 persons; they determined silicate minerals (45 problems in number) by means of the blowpipe, by the dry and wet methods. The number of those who completed the work is respectively \(7+1+25=33\) persons; of this number, 25 persons submitted the control problems.

In the geological laboratory, under the direction of Prof. V. A. Obruchev and laboratory assistant V. D. Ryazanov, students of the 4th year of the mining department worked in petrography (the study of rock-forming minerals), with students of the geological-prospecting specialty working 4 hours a week, and those of the remaining specialties 2 hours a week.

In the paleontological cabinet, under the direction of Professor M. E. Yanishevsky and laboratory assistant P. A. Kazansky, a) students of the II and III years of the mining department worked on determining the most important fossils as they passed through the course in paleontology, and b) students of the 4th year of the geological-prospecting specialty worked on processing paleontological material collected in certain interesting localities of Russia; thus 2 students worked on the Permian material from the Volga River, two on the processing of Carboniferous material from the village of Myachkovo (near Moscow), one on the determination of Devonian material from certain localities in the Urals, one determined fossils from the Jurassic deposits of Simbirsk Province, and one determined fossils from the Tertiary deposits of Saratov Province.

In the cabinet of mining art, under the direction of Professor L. L. Gove and laboratory assistant G. F. Ovsyannikov, students of the IV year of the mining department worked on processing material collected by them during summer work at mines and placer deposits.

In the mechanical laboratory (on the strength of materials)—under the direction of Professor I. I. Bobarykov and laboratory assistants V. Yu. Hahn and N. F. Bundyukov. Work in the mechanical laboratory began in the middle of October and continued until the middle of December. The delay in opening the laboratory for student exercises was caused by delays in the delivery of certain machines and instruments, and also by the impossibility of obtaining earlier the electric power needed to set the machines in motion and for lighting.

Owing to the delay en route of the electric motors, the laboratory, after opening its exercises, could use only 5 machines out of the 7 available; moreover, two machines—the tensile machine of the Amsler works and the torsion machine of the same works, adapted for operation by a drive—were all the time set in motion by hand. During the two-month period of exercises with the students, the mechanical laboratory was several times forced to suspend work, sometimes for a fairly prolonged time, owing to damage to the water supply and interruption in the supply of electric power.

Classes in the mechanical laboratory were conducted with third-year students of the mechanical and civil-engineering departments; moreover, all those who enrolled for this work were divided into groups of 4 persons each.

Three groups worked in the laboratory simultaneously.

Classes took place 5 times a week, from 6 to half past 9 in the evening. The students’ work consisted of the following:

1. Familiarization with the construction and operation of machines.

2. Determination of temporary resistance and elongation in the rupture of iron specimens, and of temporary resistance in the crushing of cast-iron and wooden specimens.

3. Determination of the modulus of elasticity and the limit of proportionality in tension and compression.

4. Experiments with repeated tension.

5. Determination of the modulus of elasticity of the second kind by means of torsion.

6. Determination of the modulus of elasticity of the first kind and the deflection arrow in the bending of beams.

7. Determination of the influence of the dimensions of a specimen on brittleness in compression experiments.

Precise measurements were made with Martens and Kennedy instruments. For less precise experiments, the micrometric instruments of Genning and Mohr were used.

Over the entire period of classes, 48 students attended the laboratory.

In the mechanical workshops and metallographic laboratory—under the direction of Professor T. I. Tikhonov and laboratory assistant N. V. Gutovsky, from September 6, fitting work was carried out according to the established program. (Program of work: 1st task: cut off, file, and fit one side of a cast-iron two-edged angle. 2nd task: file and finish cleanly an iron double-sided wrench. 3rd task: turn and thread a bolt with a nut.) The students who worked were fourth-year students of the mechanical department (who had not completed the work in the second half-year of the 1903/4 academic year) and third-year students.

The work was carried out daily, except Saturdays and holidays, from 3 to 7 o’clock in the evening.

A total of 85 persons worked.

The students were divided into two shifts: the first shift worked on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; the second—on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The first shift included fourth-year students (29 persons) and third-year students (8 persons); the second shift consisted of third-year students (48 persons).

Of those working in the first shift, 18 persons completed the work by the deadline (January 15, 1905); of the second shift, 10 persons completed the work by the same time.

The work of fourth-year students of the mechanical department in the metallographic laboratory during the first half-year was carried out according to the following program:

1. Preparation of two polished specimens: one of hard metal, the other of soft metal.

2. Familiarization with the microscopic structure of metals and their alloys, using the collection of metallic polished specimens available in the laboratory.

3. Photographing the polished specimens.

The indicated work was carried out by 20 fourth-year students of the Mechanical Department; moreover, when visiting the laboratory the students were divided into 5 groups of 4 persons each.

The work took place from October 19, three times a week. Each group worked in the laboratory four times for 3–4 hours.

Students’ practical work during the summer vacation.

During the summer vacation, according to the curriculum, students must study the practical side of engineering; for this purpose they are assigned to factories, plants, mines, placers, roads, and various kinds of construction work. The general plan of distributed practical training is as follows: students passing from the first year to the second are to engage in geodetic practice in the summer; moreover, students of the Mechanical and Chemical Departments perform only one geodetic task, namely—a survey, with leveling, of a small area on a large scale, which work they complete in 2 weeks; students of the Engineering-Construction and Mining Departments, in addition to the indicated work, must also perform: 1) leveling, 2) plane-table surveying, 3) angular surveying, 4) tacheometric surveying, and 5) ocular surveying, for which 6–8 weeks are allotted; students of all departments passing from the 2nd to the 3rd year must become acquainted in the summer with the practice of construction work; students passing from the 3rd to the 4th year in the summer must already become more closely acquainted with that which constitutes their specialty.

Students passing from the 4th to the 5th year must work in the summer in their nearest specialty.

For the past year 1904 the following information is available about these summer practical classes of the students.

Summer geodetic practice under the direction of instructor P. K. Sobolevsky and the immediate supervisors from the Land-Surveying Institute A. P. Kalmanov, Eng. of Ways of Communication B. K. Armfeld, and technicians of ways of communication N. K. Bogdanovich and V. A. Serkov was carried out by 40 students of the Mechanical Department and 27 students of the Chemical Department.

In this practice the students engaged in the production of large-scale surveys of various plots of land on which the buildings of the Technological Institute and the buildings of the University are located. The large geodetic practice, which lasted from June 10 to July 25 under the direction of instructor P. K. Sobolevsky and 4 immediate supervisors—graduates of the course Z. Partin, Antonov, Vasiliev, and Denisenko—was carried out by 20

students of the civil-engineering division and 11 students of the mining division. For this practice the village of Spasskoe near the city of Tomsk was selected for the summer. The remaining students did not complete the practice, postponing it for a year with the permission of the Division Meetings.

Far from all students complete construction practice, since for some reason architects are reluctant to accept students for practice. On the railways, all available vacancies are filled first of all by students of the Institute of Engineers of Ways of Communication of Emperor Alexander I, and only after this are the vacant positions distributed among students of other educational institutions.

In the past year the following had construction practice: 1) at the construction site of the Technological Institute:

COUNCIL OF THE INSTITUTE.

In the reporting year, the Council of the Institute consisted, under the chairmanship of Director E. L. Zubashev, of 18 members: the instructor of Theology, Doctor of Church History, Archpriest D. N. Belikov; the ordinary professors: I. I. Bobarykov, N. I. Kartashev, N. M. Kizhner, F. E. Molin, V. A. Obruchev, D. P. Turbaba; the extraordinary professors: V. N. Dzhons, A. K. Ensh, A. I.

During the year the Council held 12 meetings, at which various questions concerning the academic affairs were considered. In view of the fact that, in accordance with a resolution of the Council, the minutes of meetings are printed in full, only the following resolutions are noted here:

1. By a resolution of the Council of January 22, the famous Russian scientist, a native of Siberia, the Superintendent of the Main Chamber of Weights and Measures, Privy Councillor Professor Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, was elected an Honorary Member of the Institute.

2. By a resolution of the Council of March 22, the ordinary academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Privy Councillor Nikolai Nikolaevich Beketov, was elected an Honorary Member of the Institute.

During the year, the Court was asked to examine two cases: 1) concerning participants in an unauthorized gathering at the Institute and 2) concerning an insult ...

two students against an official. In both cases the Court was to impose the lowest measures of penalty: in the first case because the quarrel had no harmful consequences, and in the second because a reconciliation took place between the offenders and the offended party.

COMMISSION FOR THE PUBLICATION OF LECTURES

With the development of academic work at the Tomsk Technological Institute, there arose a need both for publishing lectures and other aids locally and for ordering them from other higher educational institutions, bookshops, and individual authors. Initially this matter was in the hands of individual instructors and separate student publishing circles; they received from the Institute, as advances, the necessary funds, which were later repaid out of the sums received from the sale of the aids. Cases of misunderstandings between the publishing circles and subscribers, and the fragmentation of one and the same undertaking into separate small enterprises, prompted the Council of the Institute in March 1904 to resolve that, for the future, the publication of lectures and the ordering of them should be concentrated in the hands of a single commission of professors of the Institute, to which, with the permission of the Minister of Public Education, 5,000 rubles were released from special funds as working capital. This commission was formed with Prof. A. I. Efimov as chairman and Prof. A. E. Sabek and Prof. V. L. Nekrasov as members. During the summer of 1904 the Commission for the Publication of Lectures was engaged in checking and receiving from the former publishers all publications and accounts, and from September 1, 1904, began its activity. By January 1, 1905, this activity consisted, in its main features, of the following (the movement of the Commission’s monetary sums will be given below, in the section on teaching aids): manuals by Professors Berngardt, Mushketov, Artamonov, Veishenk, Maloga, Glinka, Kunitsky, and Shulyachenko were ordered from St. Petersburg; reprinted locally were: the lectures on Theology by Prof. D. N. Belikov, Theoretical Mechanics by Prof. N. N. Saltykov, a manual for practical classes in chemistry by Prof. Ya. I. Mikhailenko, Construction of Curves; completed for publication were: Integral Calculus and Integration of Equations by Prof. F. E. Molin; newly published or in print were: A Problem Book in Descriptive Geometry by Prof. V. N. Dzhons; Differential Calculus by Prof. F. E. Molin; Analytical Geometry by Prof. V. L. Nekrasov; Petrography by Prof. V. A. Obruchev; Ore Deposits by Lecturer Ovsyannikov; Electrical Engineering by Prof. A. A. Potebnya; Thermodynamics by Prof. D. P. Turbaba; a translation, under the editorship of Prof. L. L. Tove, of Kirchner’s Ore Dressing; A Problem Book on the Theory of Mechanisms by Lecturer A. A. Shutkov; Francis Turbines by the same; Topographical Maps by Lecturer P. K. Sobolevsky; programs of the courses in Mathematics and Theoretical Mechanics. If all publications held in the Commission’s stock are divided into three main groups: a) lectures and manuals, both ordered and published locally; b) pro-

problem books, synopses, programs, and c) maps and drawings, the movement in the number of copies of each category during the last four months of 1904 is presented as follows:

In August of the reporting year, out of 525 persons who submitted petitions for admission as 1st-year students, 154 persons were enrolled as students without competition, on the basis of Article 25 of the Regulations on the Institute; of the remainder, 302 persons took the competitive examinations and 210 were admitted. In addition, by order of the Minister, 18 persons were permitted to be enrolled as 1st-year students without competition, but of this number...

14 persons appeared and were enrolled, and 32 persons from among former students of other Institutes were admitted to the senior courses.

Thus, by the beginning of the 2nd half-year the number of students was as follows:

DEPARTMENTS	I course	II course	III course	IV course	V course	TOTAL
Mechanical	162	159	85	57	26	489
Engineering and Construction	82	45	22	—	—	149
Mining	102	59	27	35	—	223
Chemical	75	82	16	11	3	187
Total	421	345	150	103	29	1048

During the 2nd half-year, from among the students of the Institute the following left: 2 by death, 10 by transfer to other Institutes, and 82 persons were dismissed from the number of students for various reasons (by petition, for failure to appear at the Institute, and for non-payment of fees), and on January 1 the number stood at:

	in I c.	in II c.	in III c.	in IV c.	in V c.	TOTAL
In the mechanical department	144	144	77	47	25	437
“ engineering-construction “	76	44	22	—	—	142
“ mining department	91	54	23	35	—	203
“ chemical department	73	74	13	9	3	172
Total	384	316	135	91	28	954

In addition, on January 1, 1905, there were 40 permanent auditors at the Institute.

The distribution of students by categories (religion, origin, etc.) is shown in Appendix No. 5.

Student attendance at the Institute during the year was fairly satisfactory; namely, in January of the reporting year the Institute’s attendance, in percentages, was 70%, in February—77%, in March 81%, in April 42%, in October—78%, in November 80%, and in December 88%.

It is especially necessary to note the conscientious attendance by students at practical classes and exercises. Awareness of the usefulness and importance of these classes on the one hand, and, on the other, half-year examinations as a measure compelling the student to conduct his studies more regularly and making the spring examinations easier, are penetrating more and more into the student milieu. Half-year examinations were held in the first courses.

On the basis of these facts, it may be said with sufficient conviction that the broad development of practical classes and the easing of the spring examinations by the introduction of half-year examinations are more expedient measures for facilitating students’ assimilation of the sciences studied than the system of weekly repetitions.

In material terms the students are insufficiently provided for. At the disposal of the Committee for Student Affairs there were 50 state scholarships, 1 scholarship from the city of Krasnoyarsk, and 1 scholarship from the city of Omsk. In addition, the Institute also has 4 scholarships in the name of the city of Tomsk and 1 scholarship from the city of Petropavlovsk, but these scholarships are distributed by the city administrations.

The teaching staff of the Institute made monthly deductions from their salaries for the benefit of needy students: in the first half of the year, 75 rubles per month, and in the second, 95 rubles per month. These deductions were issued by the Committee for Student Affairs to the poorest students in the form of a monthly allowance, the average rate of such an allowance being 12 rubles per month.

Balances from state scholarships, formed as a result of non-issuance for various reasons (departure for the war, dismissal from the Institute, etc.), in the amount of 3,300 rubles, were distributed to students in the form of one-time allowances for paying tuition fees and for other needs. In accordance with the Regulations on the Institute, 50 students were exempted from paying tuition fees. In addition to the aforementioned sums, students of the Institute also received scholarships from various cities and institutions and from donations by private individuals, as well as from sums collected at evenings arranged in various places for the benefit of needy students. In the city of Tomsk the customary student evening, intended to collect certain sums for the issuance of allowances to needy students, was not held in the past year, partly because public attention was directed chiefly toward assisting the families of those who had gone to war, and partly because of the unrest prevailing among the students, which manifests itself especially vividly during such an evening.

The total amount of all disbursements to needy students of the Institute is 4,592 rubles.

Detailed information is given in Appendix No. 6.

EDUCATIONAL-AUXILIARY INSTITUTIONS.

Physics Laboratory.

Acting Extraordinary Professor A. I. Efimov, Head.

By the beginning of 1904, the relocation of the physics laboratory, begun in the last months of 1903, from its former temporary premises in the lecture building to its new permanent premises in the southern half of the two-story physics building had been completed; the consecration of this building took place on January 18, 1904, and lectures in the new premises began on January 21.

From that time on, the Institute’s physics laboratory may be considered, as regards its premises, to be for a long time sufficiently spaciously accommodated, occupying

the basement, the first and second floors of the above-mentioned part of the physics building, and also an upper structure in the form of a tower, containing one room each on the 3rd and 4th floors. The entire premises of the physics laboratory constitute a single whole, with convenient communication between its parts, and only the laboratory mechanic’s workshop is located separately, though in the same building.

On the basement floor, which is sufficiently light, there have been installed in two rooms: a battery of accumulators of 36 cells and an alternating-current motor with a Schuckert dynamo; the remaining rooms, not yet fully completed, will in the near future serve for housing apparatus for obtaining liquid air, for special work, and for storing supplies; it is possible that a seismograph will also be installed in one of the rooms of the basement floor.

On the first floor are located: the laboratory assistant’s office; a room for practical classes for the 1st year, making it possible for up to 80 persons to work simultaneously, with classes conducted in groups by pairs; the professor’s office; the library and storage room for maps and drawings; and a room for special work, equipped with a fume cupboard.

On the second floor are located: 2 rooms for storing demonstration instruments and preparing experiments, directly adjoining the large central lecture hall, which also serves for lectures in Electrical Engineering and Strength of Materials, the laboratories of which are housed in the same building, while lectures in Geodesy, whose office is housed in the same building, are also temporarily read in the same lecture hall; a room for practical classes of the 2nd year for 60 persons; a dark room for optical work for 20 persons; a room for storing standard instruments, a dividing engine, and various special installations; a room for special work with a fume cupboard. The lecture hall and the preparation room are connected by a speaking tube and telephone with the room of the dynamo and accumulators on the basement floor.

The single room of the 3rd floor, furnished with dark curtains and painted black, is intended to serve for special work on light and for various applications of photography; adjoining it is a small glass pavilion facing north.

In the single room of the 4th floor (without heating) space is provided for storing certain meteorological and astronomical instruments; in it, besides two ordinary windows, two narrow and long windows have been made in opposite walls in the direction of the meridian; the arch of the lower floor, running in the same direction, is to provide a sufficiently solid support for a universal instrument for observations of culminations. The roof of this room is a slightly sloping asphalt-covered platform, enclosed by a brick wall and situated at a height of 10 sazhen above the ground; at the corners of this open platform it is proposed to place a meteorological booth, an anemograph, a lightning rod, and

radiograph; on the main wall, separating the building from the staircase leading to all four floors of the building and to the platform, a pillar has been set on cement, intended for placing an angle-measuring instrument. The above-mentioned platform is one of the highest points in the city and can serve for various physical and astronomical observations requiring open sky or an unobstructed horizon.

In all five rooms of the tower (basement, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors), openings of 1 square arshin have been made in the wall one above another, in order to provide a considerable (about 10 sazhens) vertical extent; through these openings, a wooden pipe, now being constructed, will pass through the entire height of the building; its parts in each of the five rooms, having the form of cabinets, can be separated from one another by wooden shutters and have doors for access inside.

All rooms of the laboratory (for the time being, except for several rooms on the basement floor) are supplied with electric lighting; in addition, on the 1st floor: wires have been run into the professor’s office and into the special room, and on the 2nd floor: into the auditorium, the preparation room, the hall for practical classes of the 2nd year, and into the special rooms; and into the room on the 3rd floor wires have been installed for the use of electric current from accumulators or a dynamo machine, and water and gas have been brought into all rooms (except for three rooms on the basement floor).

The principal attention during the reporting year was directed to equipping all the rooms of the physics laboratory with the necessary furniture and various appliances both for demonstrations at lectures and for practical classes. Among the larger acquisitions the following should be mentioned: an apparatus for darkening the large auditorium, ordered from M. Kohl in Chemnitz and consisting, on each side, of three curtains impervious to light, lowered and raised on a common shaft by means of electric motors; demonstration apparatus for Hertz’s experiments and wireless telegraphy; compensation apparatus by Feussner and Edelmann; quadrant electrometers by Thomson and Branly; tangent galvanometers from Société Genevoise and M. Kohl; sensitive balances from Sartorius and Rueprecht; sighting tubes with scales from Dietrichs; spectroscopes and spectrometers from Schmidt & Haensch.

At the beginning of February 1904, with the announcement of mobilization, the mechanic of the physics laboratory, A. P. Zavyalov, was called up into the active troops against Japan, and from the month of October the mechanic A. Kh. Zubov, a pupil of the mechanic Goryachev in St. Petersburg, was invited to this position until Mr. Zavyalov’s return.

Movement of the Funds of the Commission for the Publication of Lectures

At the request of the Institute Council, approved by the Minister of Public Education, 5,000 rubles were released in March 1904 from the Institute’s special funds for the needs of publishing. This sum was to serve as the working capital of the commission, to be replenished by proceeds from the sale of publications. To this sum must be added 28 rubles remaining from appropriations for publications in earlier years. Thus the publishing work was provided with capital amounting to 5,028 rubles. According to the data of the Institute’s accounts office, from March to September 1, 1904, 1469 rub. 18 kop. were received from sales, and 5988 rub. 28 kop. were expended, so that at the disposal of the commission there were:

	Amount
On hand as of September 1, 1904 . . . . . .	508 rub. 30 kop.
From Sept. 1, 1904, to Jan. 1, 1905, received . .	3463 rub. 60 kop. (*)
Expended during the same period . . . . . .	3390 rub. 54 kop.
Balance as of January 1, 1905 . . . . . .	581 rub. 36 kop.

According to the monthly reports of the commission’s warehouse:

	Manuals issued	Publications on hand	Total
On hand as of Sept. 1, 1904	363 rub. 40 kop.	7326 rub. 44 kop.	7689 rub. 84 kop.
Newly received	1131 ” 65 ”	2868 ” 10 ”	3999 ” 75 ”

Balance as of Jan. 1, 1905	1033 ” 15 ”	7277 ” 08 ”	8310 ” 23 ”

The difference of 86 rub. 99 kop. between the receipts recorded by the Institute accounts office (3463 rub. 60 kop.) and those determined by the quantity of publications sold and their value (3376 rub. 61 kop.) is explained by the fact that the money remitted to the treasury also includes the following sums: 81 rub. 01 kop. received from subscribers as debt, and 5 rub. 98 kop. from the sale of sheets of problems in mathematics by Professors F. E. Molin and V. L. Nekrasov, which sheets are not included among the commission’s publications, but were merely given on commission to the manager of the commission warehouse, S. L. Rasolodin.

*) In September 1846 rub. 43 kop.; in October 752 rub. 74 kop.; in November 623 rub. 4 kop.; and in December 238 rub. 02 kop.

Appendix No. 9.

Resolution of the Council on the procedure for publishing works in the name of, or at the expense of, the Institute.

1. The Tomsk Technological Institute publishes a journal under the title Proceedings of the Tomsk Technological Institute, using funds allocated according to the staff list, and, should these be insufficient, using sums requested from the Institute’s special funds.

2. The Proceedings are issued in separate books, each of not less than 10 and up to 15 sheets, as material accumulates.

3. Each book consists of two sections: 1) Scholarly works, 2) Scientific-pedagogical section.

In the first section are printed articles that have the character of scholarly research.

In the second section are placed annual reports, course programs, and minutes of meetings.

Reports on business trips and journeys are placed, according to their content, in one of the indicated sections, at the author’s wish.

The pagination in each book and in each of its sections is independent, irrespective of the preceding books.*)

1. Manuals and textbooks are not to be printed in the Institute’s Proceedings.

2. Monographs and works exceeding 4 or 5 sheets are divided, if necessary, into several books, or, at the author’s wish, are issued as separate books as appendices to the Proceedings; the format and typeface are left to the author’s discretion.

3. Translated works are printed only in the form of separate appendices to the Proceedings, and each time with the special approval of the Council.

4. All work connected with conducting the publication of the Proceedings, and with ensuring that the publication has the best possible outward appearance typographically and in respect of the thoroughness of proofreading, rests with one editor.

The proofreading of individual articles rests with their authors.

Determining the number of copies to be printed belongs to the editor, who receives the books as they come from the press and transfers them to the library for distribution, dispatch, and for the storage of the remaining copies.

1. The editor is elected by the Council of the Institute from among its members for a term of two years, receives remuneration in the amount of 300 rubles per year, and annually presents to the Council a report concerning the publication of the Proceedings.
