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 in Theology, Doctor of Church History, Archpriest D. N. Belikov; ordinary professors: V. P. Alekseevsky, I. I. Bobarykov, N. I. Kartashov, N. M. Kizhner, F. E. Molin, V. A. Obruchev, D. P. Turbaba; extraordinary professors: V. N. Dzhons, A. I. Efimov, Ya. I. Mikhailenko, V. L. Nekrasov, A. A. Potebnya, A. E. Sabek, G. L. Tiraspolsky, T. I. Tikhonov, L. L. Tove, and M. E. Yanishevsky.

During the year the Council held 25 meetings, at which various questions concerning the educational work were considered, in particular the draft distribution of classes according to the subject system proposed for introduction from the new academic year, and the elaboration of the details of the rules for guidance under this system.

Following the announcement of the Imperial ukase to the Governing Senate of August 27, 1905, on temporary rules for the administration of higher educational institutions, at the meetings of the Council on September 7 and 13 elections were held for the Director of the Institute and the Secretary of the Council, and then for the deans and secretaries of the departments. As Director and as deans of the three previously opened departments, the persons who had held these posts earlier were elected, namely: Prof. E. L. Zubashev

(by the director), Prof. I. I. Bobarykov (dean of the mechanical department), Prof. V. N. Dyakonov (dean of the chemical department), and Prof. V. A. Obruchev (dean of the mining department); as dean of the civil-engineering department, which until that time had been combined with the mechanical department, Prof. A. E. Sabek was elected. As secretary of the Council, Prof. M. E. Yanishesky was elected. The following were elected secretaries of the departments: for the mechanical department—Prof. T. I. Tikhonov, for the chemical department—Prof. Ya. I. Mikhailenko, for the mining department—Prof. L. L. Tovey, and for the civil-engineering department—Prof. V. L. Nekrasov. At the same time the professors’ disciplinary court was abolished, and the task of the inspectorate was changed: its members made up the staff of the new office for student affairs.

By resolution of the Council of September 21, the well-known explorer of Mongolia and Siberia, writer and public figure Grigory Nikolaevich Potanin was elected an honorary member of the Institute on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.

At the meeting of the Council on November 2, the Council recognized in principle as desirable and necessary the admission of women to the number of students of the Institute.

Competitions were announced for the chairs: 1) theory and construction of steam engines and other thermal engines, and 2) metallurgy.

The assembly of the mechanical department and the Council of the Institute spoke in favor of inviting two persons to the first chair (acting extraordinary professors), in view of the fact that this subject is fundamental in the mechanical department, and the number of class hours is such that one professor cannot cover them all. Those elected were the former instructor of the Kharkov Technological Institute Vyacheslav Ivanovich Peskov and the senior laboratory assistant of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, engineer-technologist Vladimir Leonidovich Maltsev. Subsequently V. I. Peskov declined to occupy the chair.

It was deemed advisable to divide the second chair into two—1) metallurgy of cast iron, iron, and steel, and 2) metallurgy of other metals. The competition was deemed not to have taken place; but, with a view to ensuring the teaching of metallurgy at the Institute, until these chairs were filled, it became necessary to invite two persons as instructors. Those elected were: as instructor of metallurgy of cast iron, iron, and steel—mining engineer, collegiate assessor Vladimir Alekseevich Rogozhnikov; as instructor of metallurgy of other metals—Master of Chemical Technology Mikhail Petrovich Rybalkin.

In the engineering-construction department 76 43 22 — — 141
Total 380 328 145 95 29 977

Owing to the temporary closure of the Institute, instruction in it ceased in January of the reporting year; there were no promotion spring examinations, and therefore all students of the Institute were left for a second year in the same courses.

At the beginning of the 2nd half-year of the reporting year and the 1st half-year of the new 1905–6 academic year, 319 applications were submitted for admission as first-year students, including:

To the mechanical department 147
To the mining department 67
To the chemical department 48
To the engineering-construction department 57
Total 319

The number of vacant places announced for the 1st year was:

In the mechanical department 80
In the mining department 60
In the chemical department 50
In the engineering-construction department 60
Total 250

For these vacancies, on the basis of § 25 of the Regulations on the Institute, first of all natives of Asiatic Russia and persons who had completed the course of secondary educational institutions of that region were admitted without competitive examinations, namely:

To the mechanical department 47
To the mining department 28
To the chemical department 5

Of the 229 persons whom the Committee on Student Affairs had required to take competitive examinations for enrollment in the available vacancies, only 137 appeared for the examinations, including:

To the mechanical department 34
To the mining department 25
To the chemical department 39
To the engineering-construction department 39
Total 137

In view of the fact that, among those who had submitted applications for admission to the mining, chemical, and engineering-construction departments, fewer appeared for the competitive examinations than there were available vacancies in these departments, the competition for these departments did not take place, and all who had submitted applications were enrolled as students of the Institute without competition, namely: 25 in the mining department, 39 in the chemical department, and 39 in the engineering-construction department.

Competitive examinations were conducted only for persons who had submitted applications to the mechanical department; moreover, 32 persons who passed the examinations were enrolled in that department. One, on the basis of his examination, in accordance with his application, was enrolled in the mining department, and one, who showed insufficient knowledge, was not admitted.

In all, in the month of August, by competition and without competition, the following were admitted as students to the 1st year:

Department Number
Mechanical department 79
Mining department 54
Chemical department 44
Civil-engineering department 49
Total 226

In view of the forthcoming introduction at the Institute of the subject system of instruction, in place of the course system that had existed until that time, the students of the Institute, from the autumn half-year of the reporting year, i.e., from the beginning of the new 1905–6 academic year, began to be distributed not by years, but by semesters; moreover, the students just admitted to the 1st year of the Institute formed the group of students of the 1st semester; the students of that same 1st year, admitted to the Institute in 1904 and having completed one academic half-year, formed the group of students of the 2nd semester; correspondingly, the 2nd year of students formed the 4th semester, the 3rd year—the 6th semester, the 4th year—the 8th semester, and the 5th year—the 10th semester.

The numerical composition of the students by semesters and departments, at the beginning of the autumn half-year of the reporting year and of the 1st half-year of the new 1905–6 academic year, was as follows:

EDUCATIONAL-AUXILIARY INSTITUTIONS.

Physics Laboratory.

Head and Acting Extraordinary Professor A. I. Efimov.

In 1905, various major and minor improvements and additional adaptations continued and were completed in the arrangement of the large lecture hall of the physics building, the rooms for practical classes, and the special rooms.

In the large lecture hall, a through passage was arranged beneath the amphitheater, as a result of which it became possible to place the projection lantern at a considerably greater distance from the screen than before, and the lecture hall was placed in more convenient communication with the Mechanical and Geodetic laboratories.

In that part of the physics building which, owing to the superstructure, comprises, counting the basement, five stories, the construction of a through vertical opening was completed; divided into five sections, each having in every room the appearance of narrow and tall cabinets,

this span makes it possible to arrange, for certain experiments, a vertical extension of about 10 sazhen, and also, when necessary, to run electrical wires from one floor to another.

Special room No. 1, on the first floor, was assigned under the special supervision of laboratory assistant V. S. Titov for such physical work as touches upon the field of pure chemistry, and in particular for electrochemistry. Installed in it were: 1) a table for chemical analysis, with upper and lower cabinets for reagents and instruments, with water and gas taps; one whole unit with the table is formed by an oak distribution board, built in place and carrying all the necessary measuring instruments, rheostats, and switches; the rheostat, constructed of constantan wire by the firm Basse and Selve, contains 40 ohms, the resistance being capable of being introduced in steps of \(1/10\) ohm and of 2 ohms; the measuring instruments consist of two voltmeters and two ammeters by the firm Hartmann and Braun; one pair of these instruments is intended for weaker voltages and currents (0–5 amperes, 0–10 volts), the other for more considerable ones (0–30 amperes, 0–100 volts); the sources of current may be: the general network of the Technological Institute, the storage-battery battery of the physical laboratory, and a special small battery placed under the table; a special switch makes it possible to connect the cells of the latter battery one after another, which is especially convenient for work where it is important to vary the voltage conveniently and quickly; the electric current is put into operation by means of one of three plugs fixed on the distribution board; 2) Sartorius analytical balances; 3) an Edelmanna wall galvanometer (d’Arsonval type); 4) a Mascart quadrant electrometer from the Société genevoise; 5) an automatic Rausa air pump. The inventory of this room also includes: 1) a Max-Leod manometer; 2) a Ruhmkorff inductor from Max Kohl, with a spark up to 25 centimeters; 3) galvanometers with mirrors by Hartmann and Braun; 4) an instrument by the same firm for determining the resistance of electrolytes by Kohlrausch’s method; 5) a set of platinum vessels: a platinum dish, 8 centimeters in diameter, a platinum crucible, a collection of Classen platinum electrodes; 6) a small turbine and motor for setting stirrers in motion. The room has an exhaust cabinet and two cabinets: a closed one for storing apparatus and an open one for reagent bottles and burettes.

Special room No. 2, on the second floor, above the room just described, was designated for work on the ionization of gases,

radioactivity and X-rays. The preparations and instruments necessary for these purposes have already been ordered from Günther and Tegetmeyer in Braunschweig, Borgeiser in Ilmenau, and Max Kohl in Chemnitz.

At the very end of the reporting year, A. P. Zavʹyalov, the mechanic of the physics laboratory, who had been called up in February 1904 to the army operating in Manchuria, returned safely and resumed the performance of his duties.

*) In view of the fact that in 1905 there were no classes at the Institute and the vast majority of students left, the sale of publications was weak, as a result of which receipts for the whole of 1905 were almost three times less than they had been in just the last four months of the preceding year.
