In addition to the information given earlier, more detailed information is provided here on the work in the mineralogical cabinet and laboratory and in the mechanical workshops.

In the mineralogical cabinet and laboratory in the autumn half-year of 1906, practical classes with students consisted of:

1) determining minerals (silicates) with the aid of a blowpipe, with students of the 6th semester of the mining division, and minerals (non-silicates)—with students of the 4th semester of the mining division. The classes were conducted under the supervision of the laboratory assistants A. V. Emel’yanov and N. Ya. Verevkin, under the general direction of Prof. A. M. Zaitsev. Of the students of the 6th semester of the mining division, 15 persons worked in the laboratory. Of these, 14 students fully completed the classes (45 assignments and one test). Of the total number of 27 students of the 4th semester of the mining division who had enrolled, by the beginning of 1907, 9 persons had completed the classes (45 assignments and two tests); the rest will continue the work in the spring half-year of 1907.

2) determining minerals by means of microscopic observations—under the direction of Prof. A. M. Zaitsev—with students of the 6th semester of the mining division. The entire first group of students (13 persons) had completed these classes by the end of the reporting year.

3) under the direction (of laboratory assistant A. V. Emel’yanov), students of the 2nd semester of the mining division and the 4th semester of the chemical division—while studying, by models, the crystalline forms of minerals (crystallography) and the optical properties of minerals (from preparations) in the microscope and in the polarization apparatus.

In the mechanical workshops the students’ work began on 3 October; by the middle of October a total of 36 students were working; by the beginning of November the number of those working had increased to 173 persons; of these, students of the 4th year numbered 2, students of the 3rd year—44, and students of the first two years—127 persons. In accordance with the resolution of the Assembly of the Mechanical Division, 10 students of the 3rd year and 2 students of the first two years were excused from carrying out locksmith work; in addition, 6 persons, not having finished the first job, submitted statements that, for lack of free time, they would not continue the work; and two students of the 4th year, having received work, did not appear in the workshops at all.

The students were divided into two shifts—the first worked on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the second shift on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the exception of eve-of-holiday and holiday days. In order to accelerate the completion of work, students of one shift were given the opportunity to work on the days of the other shift at free vises. On the indicated days, work was carried out from 4 to 7 o’clock in the evening.

The work was carried out according to the established program I; moreover, to those who wished, instead of the last two tasks of the program, a more complex independent task was assigned (a French key, the spindle of a milling machine, cam-clamps for a planing machine).

Three persons completed the program tasks; four persons completed the first and second tasks, and twenty-two persons completed one first task.

In the metallographic laboratory 21 persons worked according to program I, of whom 19 completed the program.

COUNCIL OF THE INSTITUTE

The Council of the Institute in the reporting year consisted, under the chairmanship of the Director E. L. Zubashev and, during his absence, of Prof. V. A. Obruchev, Prof. A. A. Potebnya, Prof. A. E. Sabek, and Prof. V. P. Alekseevsky, of 20 members: Instructor of Theology 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, V. L. Maleev, Ya. I. Mikhailenko, V. L. Nekrasov, N. V. 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 31 meetings, at which various questions concerning academic affairs were discussed.

In view of the fact that the journals of the meetings, according to the resolution of the Council of the Institute, are printed in full, only the following resolutions are noted here:

I. A telegram from the Minister of Public Education was heard, of the following content:

“To the Director of the Technological Institute. I ask you and the professors elected by the Council, one from each Division, to arrive in St. Petersburg by February 20 for a conference on the reform of higher specialized educational institutions. Count Tolstoy.”

In view of this, the chairman proposed that the Council designate candidates as delegates from the Tomsk Technological Institute, and by closed ballot the following were elected as delegates: from the Mechanical Division—Prof. I. I. Bobarykov; from the Chemical Division, Prof. N. M. Kizhner; from the Mining Division—Prof. M. E. Yanishevsky; and from the Civil Engineering Division—Prof. N. I. Kartashov.

At the same time, the Council deemed it necessary to propose that the delegates state at the forthcoming congress the following wishes of its own:

1) Diplomas (with construction and service rights) should be abolished. In their place there should be issued certificates of completion of a certain cycle of sciences. After passing examinations and work according to a defined program, the person concerned receives the title of “candidate,” or another.

2) It is necessary to open at the Institute still other new divisions: a general one (granting the title of candidate of the natural, mathematical, and physico-chemical sciences) and an agricultural one.

3) The Autonomous Council should be granted the right to draw up separate programs in various specialties, not only technical but also general, using the existing resources of the teaching staff.

4) Competitive examinations should be abolished, and admission should be unrestricted; moreover, persons of both sexes should be admitted.

5) Persons who have completed secondary educational institutions, not only male but also female, should be admitted to the Institute. It is desirable that their programs be coordinated and expanded in the mathematical and natural sciences. The Council reserves for itself the right to arrange verification examinations if it finds this necessary.

6) Professors are elected by the Council, of which the Ministry must be informed; and if within a month no indications are given as to the impropriety of the election, then the professor should be considered confirmed in his post.

7) Theology and the history of religions must be excluded from the Institute’s curriculum.

II. The following proposals of the Trustee of the West Siberian Educational District were heard and taken under advisement:

1) Of January 11, 1906, No. 108:

“The petition initiated by the Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute of Emperor Nicholas II concerning a change in the procedure for holding examinations and defending dissertations for the degree of adjunct in higher specialized educational institutions was submitted by me for the consideration of the Ministry of Public Education.

Now the Department of Industrial Schools of the said Ministry, in a communication dated December 14 of last year, No. 8166, has notified me that the Ministry entered into correspondence on this matter with other Ministries under whose jurisdiction higher specialized educational institutions are maintained.

In reply to this, the Ministry of Finance reported that the Councils of the Warsaw and Kiev Polytechnic Institutes expressed themselves in favor of satisfying the petition of the Tomsk Technological Institute; at the same time, the Council of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute indicated that it would be desirable to establish a uniform procedure in all higher technical educational institutions for the acquisition of academic degrees in specialized subjects and to replace the title of adjunct of one or another institution with the title of adjunct in one or another subject; the Council also would consider it expedient to grant technical educational institutions the right to confer degrees, equal in status to those of universities, in certain general subjects as well.

The former Ministry of Agriculture and State Properties indicates that the statutes in force for the Mining Institute and the Ekaterinoslav Higher Mining School have in view only the defense of dissertations by persons wishing to occupy chairs in the said educational institutions, and that they have not been assigned a general right to admit persons to the defense of dissertations for the title of professor or adjunct as an academic degree, or for obtaining the right to teach in other educational institutions.

The Ministry of Ways of Communication likewise points out that the regulations of the Institute of Engineers of Ways of Communication do not provide for the possibility of defending dissertations for purposes other than obtaining the title of adjunct of the Institute of Engineers of Ways of Communication.

Thus, the aforementioned Ministries, in substance, expressed themselves in favor of satisfying the petition initiated by the Tomsk Technological Institute, pointing only to certain formal difficulties in carrying out this petition.

Thereafter the question indicated was considered by a Department of the Learned Committee for Technical and Vocational Education, whereupon it was resolved to leave open the question raised by the Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute, as one having general significance and requiring resolution upon the final elaboration of the statutes of higher educational institutions.

The cited resolution of the Department of the Learned Committee was approved on 2 December of the current year by the Minister of Public Education.

I have the honor subsequently to inform you of the foregoing in connection with the representation of 8 December 1904, No. 4843, adding that, until the approval of the new statutes of higher specialized educational institutions, the Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute, under the existing procedure for acquiring the rank of adjunct, could, in the opinion of the Department of Industrial Schools, in case of necessity, apply to well-known professors or well-known learned boards with a request for opinions concerning dissertations and other works submitted for the indicated purpose, and it may be expected that some of the reviewers will not refuse personal participation in public disputations.”

2) Of 24 February 1906, No. 882.

“The Steppe Governor-General, in a communication of 16 February of this year, No. 959, informed me that in No. 9 of the Government Herald of 12 January last there had been published a resolution of the Council of Ministers on the question of the right of persons serving in governmental institutions to belong to political parties forming among us and to take part in their activities.

In consequence of this, His Excellency, not being informed of the orders issued through the various departments concerning the application of the indicated resolution, requests me to keep strict watch to ensure that: 1) in no case shall the participation of officials subordinate to me be permitted in any parties striving toward the destruction of the existing state order; and that 2) persons standing at the head of independent units of administrations or de—

remote local institutions not only could not act in a leading role as leaders even of permitted parties, but, on the contrary, would vigilantly see to the strict observance of this governmental order by their subordinates.

At the same time, I ask you also to warn now the officials subordinate to me that violation of the established procedure regarding participation in parties will entail the most resolute prosecution, within the limits of the law, and that those most guilty will be subject to immediate removal from the positions they occupy.

I have the honor to communicate the foregoing for your information and for due execution.”

3) Of March 16, 1906, No. 1245.—“In accordance with the circular of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of January 18, 1906, No. 5, concerning the adoption of special measures with regard to persons in government and public service who support the anti-government movement, and with the report of the Acting Governor of Tomsk, dated March 2 of this year, 1906, No. 1272, I request my order for the complete dismissal from service of the instructors of the Tomsk Technological Institute, Petr Alekseevich Kozmin and Nikanor Fedorovich Bundyukov, already removed from the positions occupied by them by resolution of the Tomsk Provisional Governor-General of January 29, 1906, No. 453.

In consequence of the foregoing, I have the honor to report that the instructors of the Tomsk Technological Institute of Emperor Nicholas II, engineer-technologist Petr Kozmin and engineer-technologist, Collegiate Assessor Nikanor Bundyukov, are dismissed by me from service as of March 2 of this year, 1906.”

Upon discussion of this matter, it was resolved to send to His Excellency the Minister of Public Education a telegram of the following content:

“St. Petersburg. To His Excellency the Minister of Public Education.

The Trustee of the educational district, at the demand of the Governor of Tomsk, dismissed from their positions the instructors of the Technological Institute, engineers Bundyukov and Kozmin. The Council’s petition for the annulment of the dismissal remained unanswered, for which reason the Council is compelled to appeal directly to Your Excellency, petitioning for the annulment of the Trustee’s order. The Council considers the administrative dismissal of persons of the teaching ...

...personnel, without consequence and privately, to the court, as improper and unconditionally obstructing the resumption of academic classes.”

4) Upon hearing the proposal of the Trustee of the West Siberian Educational District of December 5, No. 5675, on the delivery of information concerning the list of positions exempting officers and lower ranks of the reserve from call-up to the army and the active naval crews, it was resolved to petition for the inclusion among the specified positions, in addition to the positions of extraordinary professors, staff instructors, senior and junior laboratory assistants of the Tomsk Technological Institute, included by the Highest command of March 25, 1904 among the positions exempting from call-up, of the following positions as well: clerk of the Institute Chancellery, bookkeeper, mechanics attached to the Institute laboratories, building superintendent, librarian, and his assistant.

III. Upon the announcement that the meeting of the Council on May 4 of this year was open, it was resolved to send, in the name of the Chairman of the First State Duma, a greeting address by telegram, of the following content:

“Petersburg. To the Chairman of the State Duma. The Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute, at its first meeting after the opening of the State Duma, with a feeling of deep satisfaction greets the first Russian legislative Chamber, sincerely wishes it swift success in revealing the suffering homeland and in establishing a truly constitutional order on democratic principles, firmly counting on the liberating work of the Duma to meet with the energetic support of the vast majority of Russian citizens, and hoping for the speedy realization of an amnesty, the liberation of prisoners, and the return of exiles.”

VI. In discussing the curriculum for the 1906/7 academic year, the question was raised concerning a new admission of students to the first year of the Institute, and the Council unanimously expressed itself in principle in favor of unlimited admission to the first year without distinction of nationality, religion, or sex; but on the question of allowing unlimited admission to the first year of the Institute from the current year, the opinions of the Council members present were divided equally: one half of the members pointed to the possibility of allowing, from the coming academic year, an unlimited admission of students to the first year, motivating their opinion by the fact that, under the subject system, there would be corresponding enrollments in classes, while the execution of drawing work could also be allowed at home, and then, if necessary, it would be possible to arrange the reading of parallel courses and the corresponding conduct of practical classes; the other half of the members of the Council, together with the Chairman, pointed out that the admission of an unlimited number of students in the autumn of the current year, for practical reasons, was impossible, since the Institute does not have a sufficient contingent of prepared supervisors, and there may also be a shortage in the educational-

in the Institute’s auxiliary facilities; moreover, permitting unrestricted admission of students to the first year of the Institute only in Tomsk may cause a practically insurmountable overcrowding of the Institute.

After lengthy and animated debates on the quantitative relation of the admission of newly entering students in the coming academic year, the meeting resolved: first to inquire of all higher educational institutions of European Russia how the latter intend to carry out, in the coming academic year, the new admission of students to the first year; and, in the event that even one of the higher technical educational institutions of European Russia permits, in the present academic year, unrestricted admission of students to the first year, to petition the Ministry of Public Education for permission for unrestricted admission to the first year also at the Tomsk Technological Institute; but if competitive admission of new students at all higher technical educational institutions is deemed necessary, then to petition for its appointment also at the Tomsk Technological Institute. At the same time, the size of the new admission of students to the first year was set at 300 persons. As for the distribution of newly entering students among the departments, the Council resolved to leave this question to be decided by the entrants themselves, and to institute a general competition for admission to the Institute.

On the question of admitting women to the Institute, the Council unanimously recognized it as possible to admit the latter on an equal basis with men, without, however, allowing any lowering of academic requirements; but, in view of the fact that this question had already been discussed by the Council of the Institute as early as the autumn of 1905, the Council resolved to submit an appropriate petition on the said matter to the Ministry of Public Education, and, until this question is resolved by legislative means, to admit women to the Institute as non-matriculated auditors, in addition to the proposed quota of new admissions to the first year, amounting to 300 persons.

Upon receiving replies from various higher educational institutions to the inquiry as to how admission into the student body would be carried out in the present year, the Council of the Institute resolved to announce in the newspapers that in the current year there are vacancies at the Institute—100 in the mechanical department, 80 in the mining department, 60 in the chemical department, and 60 in the civil-engineering department—and that, if the total number of applications submitted exceeds 300, general competitive examinations will be held, even in the event that the number of applications for any one of the departments does not reach the number of vacancies in it.

VII. In the reporting year, for the first time in the life of the Tomsk Technological Institute, examination commissions were established to test those completing the course for the degree of engineer in the mechanical and chemical departments, as approved by the Minister of Public Education (telegram of October 28 of the current year).

A. Examination Commission for the Mechanical Department.

Composition of the Commission.

Chairman of the commission—Prof. N. I. Kartashov. Members: Professors—I. I. Bobarykov, V. N. Dzons, F. Ya. Kapustin, V. L. Maleev, V. L. Nekrasov, N. V. Nekrasov, A. A. Potebnya, A. E. Sabek, T. I. Tikhonov, and lecturers—A. E. Krzhizhanovsky, A. M. Krylov, A. V. Utarov, and F. K. Yasevich.

In addition, the Council elected to the commission the Director of the Institute, E. L. Zubashev, as chairman of the commission, and Prof. G. L. Tiraspolsky; but since they, as administratively expelled beyond the limits of the Steppe Governor-Generalship, were not confirmed by the Minister of Public Education.

Actions of the Commissions.

The examination commission began functioning on November 16 of the current year, operates throughout the entire 1906–7 academic year, and, as needed, meets at specified times.

In the reporting year, there were three sessions for examining students—November 23, December 5 and 19. The examinations were conducted according to the program developed by the Mechanical Department.

Among those who had completed the full course of studies in the mechanical department, the following persons underwent examinations at the three indicated times and were awarded the title of mechanical engineer:

1. Butakov, Innokenty Nikolaevich.	6. Zheltovsky, Petr Stepanovich.
2. Vasiliev, Aleksandr Petrovich	7. Kalyagin, Nikolai Pavlovich.
3. Grdin, Vyacheslav Ivanovich.	8. Kiselev, Mikhail Ivanovich.
4. Donets, Iosif Markovich.	9. Markov, Nikolai Vladimirovich.
5. Elashev, Viktor Pavlovich.

1. Mramornov, Viktor Vasilyevich.
2. Proderov, Sergey Fedorovich.
3. Siverin, Fedor Vladimirovich.
4. Tikhonov, Viktor Ivanovich.
5. Uftyuzhaninov, Ilarion Vasilyevich.
6. Shcheglov, Vasily Nikolaevich.

B. Examination Commission for the Chemical Department.

Composition of the Commission.

Chairman—Prof. V. N. Dzhones. Members: Professors I. I. Bobarykov, E. L. Zubashev, N. M. Kizhner, Ya. I. Mikhailenko, A. E. Sabek, V. V. Sapozhnikov, T. I. Tikhonov, D. P. Turbaba, and instructors—A. E. Kryzhanovsky, A. M. Krylov, E. F. Orzheshko, V. N. Pinegin, V. A. Rogozhnikov, M. P. Rybalkin, A. V. Ugarov, and D. A. Shutkov.

All these persons were confirmed by the Minister of Public Education by telegram of October 28, with the exception of those administratively expelled from the city of Tomsk—Prof. N. M. Kizhner and Director E. L. Zubashev, who had been elected by the Council of the Institute as chairman of the examination commission also for the Chemical Department.

Actions of the Commission.

The Commission began its activity only on November 16 and during the reporting year had only one meeting for the examination of those completing the course of the Institute, namely on November 23, since there were very few persons wishing to be examined.

Only one person underwent examination and was awarded the title of chemical engineer—Vanyukov, Vladimir Andreevich, who was retained by the Council at the Institute as a professorial scholarship holder for two years, counting from December 1 of the present year, with the assignment to him of maintenance in the amount of 1,200 rubles per year from the regular sum of 4,800 rubles designated for remuneration of retained scholarship holders.

VIII. The attention of the Council of the Institute was drawn to the limitation of the total sum for scholarship holders to 4,800 rubles, which made it possible to retain at the Institute only four scholarship holders, and it was resolved to assign them remuneration of 1,200 rubles per year, which would provide the scholarship holders sufficiently that they

not be distracted by extraneous work from preparation for professorial activity.

The remuneration of 1,200 rubles, in the event that the regular sums for scholarship holders are insufficient, is composed of the prescribed minimum of 800 rubles from regular sums and an additional remuneration of 400 rubles from the sums for remuneration of instructors for compulsory classes in the specialty closest to that of the scholarship holder.

IX. It cannot be passed over in silence that on October 1 of this year there took place the second, since the opening of the Technological Institute in Tomsk, public defense of a dissertation on the topic “On the Theory of the Parallel Operation of Alternators”—by the acting extraordinary professor of the same Institute, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Potebnya, and that he was thereby recognized as having the right to occupy the chair of electrical engineering.

X. Among the abnormal phenomena in the life of the Institute must be included the absence, for almost the entire year, of the Director of the Institute, E. L. Zubashev, and of the professors N. M. Kizhner and G. L. Tiraspolsky, who were temporarily removed from their posts and exiled beyond the borders of the Steppe Governor-Generalship by decrees of the acting Tomsk Governor-General, as well as the complete dismissal from service of the Institute’s instructors N. F. Bundyukov and P. A. Kozmin.

In the first half of the year, when the Institute was closed, it was possible to reconcile oneself to this distressing fact; but from the second half of the year, when classes began at the Institute, the absence of five members of the teaching staff placed the Institute in an extremely difficult position, since, in the subjects that had been taught by the exiled and dismissed instructors, lectures did not take place and classes in the laboratories—of organic chemistry and of the chemical technology of food substances—were not conducted, owing to the absence of the heads of these laboratories.

The Council of the Institute repeatedly drew the attention of the Ministry of Public Education to this abnormal phenomenon, which hindered the proper course of academic life, petitioning for the return of those exiled and for the reappointment to service of those dismissed; and finally, after a whole series of meetings of the Council, it was resolved to send to St. Petersburg, from the teaching staff of the Tomsk Technological Institute, a special deputation, which would personally confirm the deplorable state of affairs and the necessity of satisfying the Council’s petition.

Elected to the deputation were Prof. F. E. Molin, Prof. N. V. Nekrasov, and instructor P. A. Mikulin.

This delegation left the city of Tomsk on December 26 of the reporting year in order to submit the following memorandum to the Minister of Public Education.

MEMORANDUM.

“On February 12, 1906, by order of the temporary Governor-General, the Director of the Tomsk Technological Institute, Ordinary Professor E. L. Zubashev, and Ordinary Professor N. M. Kizhner were removed from office for the duration of martial law and expelled within 48 hours from the territory of the Steppe Governor-Generalship. Several days earlier, by an order of January 29 of the same year, the same measure had been applied to Acting Extraordinary Professor T. L. Tiraspolsky and to the Institute’s instructors P. A. Kozmin and N. F. Bundyukov. The latter two were then dismissed from their posts by an order of the Trustee of the West Siberian District, dated March 2 of this year.

The Council of the Institute, at its meetings of February 13, 17, and 18, after discussing the circumstances of the matter, instructed at that time the Institute’s delegates to the congress for the drafting of the statute of the Higher Technical Schools to petition the Minister to take measures to rescind the order removing from office and expelling the above-named persons.

Subsequently, in connection with the dismissal of the instructors, the Council, at its meeting of March 22, resolved, in view of the fact that no public judicial investigation had been conducted into the guilt of the dismissed instructors, to petition the Trustee to rescind the order of dismissal and, until the grounds for the accusation had been clarified, not to consider it possible to fill the positions of those dismissed with other persons.

Receiving no reply to its petition, the Council addressed a telegram on April 5 to the Minister of Public Education, of the following content: “Petersburg. To His Excellency the Minister of Public Education. The Trustee of the Educational District, at the demand of the Tomsk Governor, has dismissed from office the instructors of the Technological Institute Bundyukov and Kozmin. The Council’s petition to rescind the dismissal has remained without reply, wherefore the Council is compelled to appeal directly to Your Excellency, petitioning for the rescission of the Trustee’s order. The Council considers the administrative removal of persons of the teaching staff...”

begun without due process, an improper court, undoubtedly hindering the resumption of classes.”

The Council did not receive a satisfactory reply to its petitions; having, however, private information about the possibility of a favorable resolution of the question, and taking into account the interests of the students, the Council, at the end of May, resolved to open admissions to the Institute and to schedule competitive examinations.

Since no changes occurred during the summer in the status of those exiled, the Council was faced, at the beginning of September, with the question whether, under such conditions, it was possible or not to open the Institute for classes. Knowing from newspaper reports that the question of the exiled professors and instructors had been the subject of discussion at the congress of heads of higher educational institutions on August 14, and that this congress had declared the necessity of the return of the exiled persons, the Council of the Institute, at its meeting of September 1, resolved, prior to deciding the question of classes, to address Your Excellency with the following telegram: “The Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute, discussing the question of opening classes in the coming academic year, considers it necessary to know the conclusions reached by the congress of heads of higher educational institutions, and the extent to which these resolutions have been put into effect. The indicated information is necessary in view of the absence of the Director of the Institute, who was sent by the administration, was present at the congress, and has not yet returned.” The corresponding telegram was also sent to E. L. Zubashev, as Director of the Institute and a former participant in the congress of Directors.

On September 5, the following telegraphic reply was received from Your Excellency: “Director Zubashev joined the unanimous conclusion of the conference of Directors and Rectors on the necessity of the immediate opening of classes and the inadmissibility of meetings within the walls of the institution with the participation of the outside public. The conclusion of the Conference has been taken under advisement by the Council of Ministers.”

In addition, from E. L. Zubashev there was received a telegraphic reply of the following content: “The congress expressed the necessity of opening classes in September. The Councils are to determine the exact time for the beginning of classes; the undesirability of meetings with outsiders; to grant the Council complete freedom of measures for maintaining the proper course of academic life; to instruct the admini-

no measures be taken without consultation with the academic authorities. An order of the Council of Ministers is being issued in accordance with this.”

Thus, the question of those exiled had still not been resolved favorably; although the Council foresaw the inevitability of serious complications in the future, should the exiled persons not be returned, it nevertheless considered it necessary to take into account the interests of the student body, a considerable number of whom had gathered in Tomsk, and not to postpone further the opening of the Institute. At the meeting of September 7, the Council therefore resolved to open the Institute for the enrollment of students for lectures, but at the same time to address Your Excellency with a new petition by telegraph, as follows: “The Council of the Tomsk Technological Institute, opening the Institute and foreseeing the inevitability of student disturbances, requests the Ministry to secure the Council against interference by the local administration in the affairs of the Institute. Together with this, the Council petitions for the expedited return of the administratively exiled Director, professors, and instructors, whose absence is an obstacle to the proper conduct of classes.”

The Council received no direct reply to this petition, but a few days later a telegram was received from E. L. Zubashev, stating that, despite the Ministry’s demand, the local administration refused to permit his return, and asking the students to preserve the Institute from disorder and to refrain from active demonstrations.

This news made an extremely grave impression both upon the students and, in particular, upon the teaching staff. Nevertheless, the Council considered it its duty, in the interests of the fifteen-hundred-strong mass of students, to make every effort to maintain the academic work of the Institute at the proper level. Unfortunately, on this path the Council had to encounter obstacles which, in the near future, threaten to become insurmountable; therefore the Council deems it its duty to draw Your Excellency’s attention to the extraordinary danger threatening the foundations of the academy and even the very existence of some of its branches.

The administratively exiled professors and instructors had been responsible for delivering lectures in the following courses:

Prof. E. L. Zubashev: Technology of Water and Fuel (for all departments). Technology of Foodstuffs (for the chemical department).

Prof. N. M. Kizhner: Organic Chemistry (for the mining and chemical departments).

Prof. G. L. Tyraspolsky: Graphical Statics (for all departments). Structural Mechanics (for the mechanical department). Hoisting Machines (for the mechanical and mining departments).

Lect. P. A. Kozmin: Technology of Wood (for the mechanical and construction departments). Flour-Milling Mills (for the mechanical department).

In addition, under the supervision of Prof. Zubashev were the laboratories of foodstuffs and of the technology of water and fuel, and under Prof. Kizhner—the laboratory of organic chemistry.

The absence of lectures and classes in the named subjects constitutes an extremely serious gap in the technical education of the students. In the semester now ending, the newly introduced subject system has, to a certain extent and for the time being, reduced the significance of this gap; but in the immediate future, with the beginning of the new semester, the situation threatens to become aggravated to an extreme. Especially serious danger threatens the chemical department, for which the absence of such disciplines as organic chemistry and the technology of foodstuffs, apart from all other considerations, logically leads to the necessity of closing that department.

In normal academic life, difficulties of this kind, arising from the temporary absence of members of the teaching staff, are resolved in one of two ways: either by postponing the corresponding courses or by assigning them to other persons.

Assuming the swift return of those sent away, the Council of the Institute applied the first measure to their courses. At the same time, already in the expiring semester, the Council discussed the various difficulties that had arisen owing to the absence of the specified courses, and permitted certain departures from the Institute’s curriculum, disturbing the dependence among subjects established by the schedule of the subject system—in order, as far as possible, to ease for the students the burden of the situation that had arisen. In this direction, however, the Council does not consider it possible to go beyond certain limits, determined by the dignity of the Institute as an institution of higher education, which cannot adapt its activity to every restriction imposed from outside by an authority wholly incompetent in matters of the academy.

As regards the second measure, without touching upon its practical feasibility—which presents extraordinary difficulties for Tomsk—the Council considers the assignment of the courses of professors and instructors sent away administratively to other persons to be wholly inadmissible on grounds of principle.

On the other hand, the organization of higher educational institutions, as is known, generally presents considerable difficulties in the sense of securing a proper teaching staff; if the filling of chairs in the Universities and, still more, in the Higher Technical Institutes of European Russia often encounters insurmountable obstacles, and chairs remain vacant for years, then the Tomsk Technological Institute is in incomparably worse conditions: although more than 6 years have passed since its opening, of its 30 chairs only 20 have been filled, even despite the preferential conditions allowed in filling them.

Under such conditions, the removal of five members of the teaching staff, reducing the already incomplete body of instructors, is an especially severe blow and takes away hope for the further proper development of the Institute.

With regard to Prof. E. L. Zubashev, apart from the scientific and pedagogical side of the matter, it is necessary to note the extremely important significance of his person in the organizational and administrative activity of the Institute. E. L. Zubashev has been Director of the Institute from its very foundation, leaving Tomsk only for the very shortest time, when summoned by the Ministry. Being the soul of the organization of the Institute, E. L. Zubashev is the person most fully initiated into all the details of the economic and administrative life of the Institute, especially in the activity of the Construction Committee, of which he has been the irreplaceable chairman from the moment of his appointment as director. The very exile of E. L. Zubashev was carried out so unexpectedly and in so short a time that he did not even have the opportunity to hand over affairs to another person and introduce him into the circle of activity. According to established custom, during E. L. Zubashev’s brief absences, the duties of Director were performed by the senior dean. At present this method of replacing the Director, owing to the duration of his absence, proves unacceptable. With organizational activity at the Institute unfinished, the professors and deans are so burdened with work in their direct duties that, inสล็อตออนไลน์

assigning to one person the duties of Director for an indefinite period is a wholly unbearable burden. As a result, it becomes necessary to establish part of the Council of persons fulfilling the duties of Director and, recently, to divide these duties among several persons.

Such a situation, of course, is deeply abnormal and has an extremely serious effect on the life of the Institute, especially while organizational work is still continuing.

Recognizing the full gravity of the responsibility placed upon it by the Supreme decree of August 27, 1905, for the regularity of the academic life of the Institute, the Council cannot remain indifferent in view of the threatening danger. Having applied, together with the teaching staff of the Institute and with the mass of the students, every effort toward the restoration of the Institute’s educational activity and toward maintaining it even under the adverse circumstances that have arisen, the Council considers itself entitled to draw the attention of Your Excellency to the necessity of supporting the Institute in this difficult period of its life and of taking all measures for the immediate return of the professors and instructors who have been sent away.”

XI. Owing to the absence of the Director of the Institute, E. L. Zubashev, and until his return, the Council of the Institute decided to distribute the duties of Director among all the members of the Council, not excluding the deans; thus the duties of Director of the Institute were performed by the following persons:

Prof. V. A. Obruchev—from February 12 to May 10 of this year.
Prof. A. A. Potebnya—from May 10 to August 11 of this year.
Prof. A. E. Sabek—from August 11 to November 13 of this year.

But in the second half of the year, when classes began at the Institute, the Council of the Institute was placed in a hopeless position owing to the absence of the Director, since the professors and deans were so burdened with work in their direct duties that assigning to one person the duties of Director for an indefinite period proved to be an unbearable burden.

Seeing no other way out, the Council of the Institute came to the conclusion that it was necessary to divide the duties of Director among several persons, and it was decided to elect deputy Directors every two months.

At the meeting of the Council of November 5, the role of Director of the Institute was distributed among three persons, with the calculation that

one person was to manage the administrative division, another—relations with the students, and a third—to be in charge of the economic affairs; the duties of chairman of the Building Committee were assigned to a separate person. At this same meeting of the Council, the following persons were elected as deputies of the Director from November 13 of the current year to January 1, 1907:

For the administrative division—Prof. V. P. Alekseevsky.
For relations with the students—Prof. L. L. Tove.
For the economic division—Prof. F. E. Molin.
Chairman of the Building Committee—Prof. A. E. Sabek.

At the meeting of the Council of December 9 of this year, for the term from January 1 of the coming year, the following were elected:

For the administrative division—Prof. Ya. I. Mikhailenko.
For relations with the students—Prof. M. E. Yanishevsky.
For the economic division—Prof. V. L. Nekrasov.
Chairman of the Building Committee—Prof. A. E. Sabek.

XII. Since the Inspectorship at the Institute has not yet been formally abolished, the Council has submitted a petition to the Ministry of Public Education to extend to the Institute the Highest-approved rules on the abolition of Inspectorships at Universities and on the establishment at the Institute of the position of prorector.

At the same time, it was resolved to inform the Inspector of Students that he is released from all duties provided for by the instructions for the Inspectorship of the Tomsk Technological Institute, and that, in place of them, he is assigned the duties of clerk of the office for student affairs.

XIII. A competition has been announced for the vacant chair of “Mineralogy.” The deadline for submitting applications is March 15, 1907.

COMMISSION FOR THE PUBLICATION OF LECTURES

The Commission for the publication of lectures in the first half of the reporting year operated with the membership of 1905: Chairman—Professor A. I. Efimov, and members—Professor V. L. Nekrasov and Professor A. E. Sabek. In the second half of the year, namely on October 20, the Council of the Institute, in view of Professor A. I. Efimov’s refusal of the duties of chairman of the Commission and in view of the apparent inconvenience of collegial supervision, resolved to entrust the matter of publishing lectures to one person; at the same meeting of the Council, instructor of the Institute A. M. Krylov was elected as the supervising person. According to the report—

at its own request, submitted to the Council of the Institute, a Commission was formed to draw up instructions for conducting the business, consisting of Professors I. I. Bobarykov and A. A. Potebnya, and Instructor Krylov, under the chairmanship of Professor V. P. Alekseevsky.

By January 1, 1907, the following manuals and aids had been published on site:

Instructor F. K. Yasevich—aid: Stone pipes under an embankment, Factory pipes; manual—Construction Art, Part II.

Professor V. L. Nekrasov—Differential Calculus, lectures for the mining and chemical divisions.

Professor V. A. Obruchev—Supplement to Petrography, to his course published earlier.

Instructor V. D. Ryazanov—Tables of Rock-Forming Minerals.

Subscribed for: Mushketov, Physical Geology, vol. II, issues 2, 3.

In addition, a number of other manuals, based on courses given by professors and instructors, were begun as new publications or reprints; these arrived at the warehouse already in 1907 and therefore have not been entered in the present report.

The distribution of students by categories (religion, origin, etc.) is placed in the appendix.

In material terms the students are insufficiently provided for; at the disposal of the Committee for Student Affairs there were 50 state scholarships, and 50 students, in accordance with the Statute on the Institute, were exempted from paying the fee for attending lectures.

The balances from state scholarships that arose as a result of non-issuance for various reasons (dismissal from the Institute, etc.), in the amount of 12,500 rubles, were distributed to students in the form of one-time allowances for payment of the fee for attending lectures and for other needs.

The teaching staff of the Institute made monthly deductions from their salaries for the benefit of needy students, amounting to 99 rubles per month; these deductions were issued by the Committee for Student Affairs to the poorest students in the form of allowances.

In addition to the aforementioned sums, the students of the Institute also received stipends from cities, institutions, from donations by private persons, and also from sums collected at evenings held in various places for the benefit of needy students. In the city of Tomsk, a student evening intended to collect certain sums for issuing allowances to needy students was not held in the reporting year.

In addition, students of the Institute received at various times allowances and loans amounting to 1,652 rubles from the “Society for Assistance to Needy Students in the City of Tomsk,” in which the representatives from the Institute were, in the first half of the year—Professor V. N. Dyakonov and Professor A. I. Efimov, and in the second half—Professor F. E. Molin and Professor M. E. Yanishevsky.

This Society issued, in the reporting year:

Gas Plant.

Professor in charge: V. N. Jones.

The gas plant attached to the Tomsk Technological Institute operated in the past year 1906 during the period from

from January 1 to March 5, when the plant was stopped because of a lack of coal, and from April 10 to January 1, 1907; in all, for 329 days, during which 718 charges of coal were made.

The results were as follows:

a) Coal consumed for distillation . . . . . . . . 15,225 poods.
b) Coke obtained . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7,069 ”
c) Gas consumed by the University . . . . . . . 1,039,691 cu. ft.
    ”     ” by the Technological Institute . . . 535,960 ” ”

Total gas obtained—1,575,651 cu. ft.

The small yield of gas (from 1 pood of coal, on average, 103.6 cubic feet of gas were obtained) may be explained, first, by the fact that, owing to a considerable reduction of work in the laboratories and rooms, the productivity of the plant up to September 1 of the past year was not great, and, in order to reduce fuel consumption, it was necessary to maintain a lower temperature; and, secondly, by the poor quality of the coal that had to be purchased during the period January—March, when regular traffic on the Siberian Railway had ceased. Confirmation of this opinion may be found in the fact that in the period January—August, with coal consumption for distillation of 7,413 poods, 595,547 cu. ft. of gas were obtained, while in the period September—December, with coal consumption of 7,812 poods, 980,104 cu. ft. of gas were obtained. The gas yield during the 1st period is 80.5 cu. ft. from 1 pood of coal, whereas during the 2nd period it is equal to 125.5 cu. ft.

The consumption of coke was as follows:

Item	Quantity
Issued to the University	206 poods
Issued to the Mechanical Workshops of the Institute	175 ”
Issued to the Metallurgical Laboratory of the Institute	95 ”
Sold to various persons	15 ”
For firing the gas furnaces	6,578 ”
Total	7,069 ”

Consumption of gas tar:

Item	Quantity
Sold to various persons	54 buckets
To the University	30 buckets
To the Construction Committee of the Institute	127 ”

General Academic Regulations

of the Tomsk Technological Institute.

1) The full course of study is divided into 10 semesters, is specified by curricula and programs, and consists of 3 parts: a) generally compulsory, b) compulsory for specialization, and c) optional.

2) The general procedure and duration for completing the course are left to the students’ choice, provided that paragraphs 4, 9, and 10 are observed.

3) To receive a diploma for the title of engineer in the chosen specialty, a student must: a) pass all generally compulsory examinations and assignments, b) pass all compulsory examinations and assignments in the corresponding specialty, and c) submit a diploma project, defending it at a meeting of the Department.

4) The compulsory sequence for taking examinations and completing assignments is indicated by a schedule of subjects or by a table of subject sequence.

5) The specialization plans indicate restricted areas for more independent scientific and technical work by students completing the course.

6) The choice of any of the established specialization plans is granted to students within the limits of the teaching staff and the instructional and auxiliary resources of the Institute.

7) Registration for all classes chosen by a student is carried out with the dean of the Department, within the periods announced by the latter.

8) Admission to all group classes, such as: exercises in subjects, drafting classes, design work, work in laboratories and workshops, is determined by the order of registration for them and by the number of available places.

9) The number of available places is established by the meeting of the Department in agreement with those in charge of the instructional and auxiliary institutions. By the beginning of the semester, the dean announces the number of students admitted during the semester for various kinds of classes and the maximum sizes of groups for various instructors.

10) The order for registration for group classes is determined on the following bases:

a) in the first order, according to the order of their registration, places are given to students undertaking these classes for the first time in that semester of their stay at the Institute which corresponds to the recommended curriculum;

b) in the second order, according to the order of their registration, places are given to students undertaking these classes for the first time, but in earlier or later semesters than in the recommended plans;

c) the following places in the queue are received by students enrolling again, in the order of the number of these repeated enrollments;

d) students of all queues a, b, c who have not received places in the given semester because of an insufficient number of them, in the following semesters become the heads of the corresponding queues according to their previous enrollment.

11) A student who, without valid reasons, has not submitted the work by the first due date loses the right to a place in the current semester and must enroll again in the order of par. 10c.

12) Places becoming vacant in the groups are occupied in the order of the queues under par. 10.

13) Enrollment in the groups of supervisors for exercises, graphic work, and design, both general and special, is left to the choice of the students, with observance of pars. 4, 9, and 10.

14) Assessment of knowledge in each of the subjects is carried out at examinations during the entire academic year, but not less often than once a month. The days of examinations are announced by the dean of the Department at the beginning of the semester.

15) An examination in one and the same subject may not be taken more than once in a semester and, in total, not more than three times during the entire course of study. A student who has twice received an unsatisfactory mark from the instructor in one subject is subjected, for the third time, to an examination before a commission appointed by the Department. In the event that at the examination before this commission the student again does not demonstrate satisfactory knowledge, he is dismissed from the Institute without the right of readmission.

16) Assessment of graphic works, designs, and work in laboratories and workshops is carried out, at the times appointed by the Department, by commissions consisting of the supervisors of the work and persons appointed by the assembly.

17) Commissions, when assessing works, have the right to invite their authors to give explanations and to defend their works. In the event of a student’s failure to appear twice upon invitation, the work is assessed at the discretion of the commission.

18) The results of examinations and works are assessed by marks: very satisfactory, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory.

19) Each student, upon entering the Institute, receives a subject record book for entering in it the results of all his work.

20) On admission to classes the dean makes a note in the subject record book. At the end of each semester, after certification of the results of the tests by the examiners, the record book is transmitted to the dean for checking against the academic registers.

21) As a supplement to the general academic rules serve the rules of procedure established by the heads of the instructional-auxiliary institutions with the approval of the assembly of the Department.

22) Misunderstandings concerning the execution of the rules of procedure are considered by the heads of the instructional-auxiliary institutions and by the dean. Misunderstandings concerning the execution of the general rules are considered by the dean and by the assembly of the Department.
