In addition to the information given earlier, more detailed data are presented here on studies in the mineralogical cabinet and laboratory, in the mechanical workshops, and in the metallographic and electrotechnical laboratories.

Studies in the Mineralogical Laboratory.

A) In the spring half-year of the reporting year the laboratory was opened for studies on January 8; studies ended on April 17. The work consisted in identifying minerals: a) non-silicates and b) silicates, with the aid of the blowpipe. Each person working was required to determine, with the assistance and instructions of the supervisors (laboratory assistant A. V. Emel'yanov and N. Ya. Verevkin), no fewer than 45 tasks in the two above-named sections; in conclusion, two control tasks were given for independent solution.

During the period from January 8 to April 17, 26 persons were engaged in determining non-silicate minerals according to the program of the Mining Department, namely: 24 students of the IV semester of the Mining Department and 2 students of the IV semester of the Chemical Department. Twenty-nine persons were occupied with work on determining silicate minerals, including 28 students of the IV semester and 1 of the VI semester of the Mining Department.

Under the specially developed program, the students of the Chemical Department carried out work; they were given, for determination, 35 problems (30 on non-silicate minerals and 5 on silicate minerals) and 2 control tests. In all, 23 persons took part: 21 students of the IV semester of the Chemical Department and one each from the VI and VIII semesters.

The following completed their work in full and received credits within the specified period:

a) in the determination of non-silicate minerals: 22 students of the IV semester of the Mining Department and 1 of the IV semester of the Chemical Department;

b) in the determination of silicate minerals: 23 students of the IV semester of the Mining Department and 1 of the VI semester;

c) under the program of the Chemical Department: 21 students of the IV semester and 1 of the VI semester.

In total, during the specified time, 69 credits were awarded.

B) In the autumn half-year, in view of the absence of the person selected for the work of the chair of mineralogy—Prof. A. V. Lavrsky—in the laboratory only those students worked who had not completed their studies in the spring semester of 1907. The laboratory was opened for classes on September 15 and closed on December 15. During this time 7 persons enrolled for classes and completed their work, receiving 8 credits. One student of the V semester of the Mining Department was engaged in the determination of non-silicate minerals; 7 persons worked on silicate minerals: 6 students of the V semester of the Mining Department and 1 of the VII semester.

Thus, during the reporting year, in the classes on the determination of minerals with the aid of the blowpipe, a total of 77 credits were awarded.

Classes in the Crystallographic Cabinet.

A) Spring half-year.

Of those who submitted petitions for admission to the Institute, by resolution of the Committee on Student Affairs of August 13, there were admitted as students, on the basis of § 25 of the Regulations on the Institute, without competitive examinations: to the Mechanical Department—135, to the Mining Department—60, to the Chemical Department—8, and to the Civil Engineering Department—23; in all, 226.

To fill the remaining 114 vacancies, on August 16, 17, 20, and 21 competitive examinations were held, at which, of all those who had submitted petitions for admission to the Institute, 457 persons appeared. In view of the fact that all the vacancies announced as free at the ...

at the Mechanical Department and the majority at the Mining Department had already been filled by persons entitled to enrollment as students without competition, as a result of which those who had submitted petitions for admission to the competition for these Departments would have had to transfer to other Departments;—all those taking the competitive examinations were informed that, in enrollment for the vacancies remaining free, the general competition across all Departments would be taken into consideration, i.e., that those receiving a relatively higher total number of points in the examinations would be enrolled as students of the Institute, regardless of the Department for which they had competed, and that thereafter the distribution of those enrolled among the Departments would, insofar as possible, be carried out according to the declaration of each competitor at the first examination.

Upon completion of the competitive examinations, all who had received a total of 24, 23, 22½, 22, 21, and 20 points (without unsatisfactory marks) were admitted, of whom there proved to be 115 persons in all. At the same time, the Council of the Institute petitioned the Ministry of Public Education by telegraph for the opening in the first semester of 150 additional vacancies, and when permission to open these vacancies was received, all who had received in the competitive examinations a total of 20 (with 1 unsatisfactory mark), 19, 18, and 17 points were admitted; there proved to be 149 such persons, including two persons of the female sex who had taken the competitive examinations for enrollment as external auditors; thus, by competition, 115 + 149 = 264 persons were admitted.

In all, for the first semester, without competition and by competition, 490 persons were admitted to all Departments; by Department they were distributed as follows:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	163
Mining Department	115
Chemical Department	91
Civil-Engineering Department	121
Total	490

In addition, during the autumn half-year, the following numbers of students were admitted to all semesters:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	90
Mining Department	30
Chemical Department	30
Civil-Engineering Department	43
Total	193

During the autumn semester, for various reasons (non-payment of tuition fees, transfer to other educational institutions, death, etc.), the following left:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	163
Mining Department	73
Chemical Department	46
Civil-Engineering Department	50
Total	332

By January 1, 1908, as a result of the transfer of some students from one Department to another, their numerical distribution by Departments was as follows:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	678
Mining Department	349
Chemical Department	176
Civil-Engineering Department	310
Total	1513

In addition, in the reporting year, by January 1, 1908, the Institute had external auditors:

The total number of external male and female auditors by January 1, 1908 was:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	10
Mining Department	2
Chemical Department	6
Civil-Engineering Department	6
Total	24

The distribution of students by faiths and estates is placed in the appendix to the present report.

In material terms the students of the Institute are insufficiently provided for; the Committee for Student Affairs had at its disposal 49 state scholarships, and 50 students, in accordance with the “Regulations on the Institute,” were exempted from paying the fee for attending lectures.

The balances from state scholarships, formed as a result of non-issuance for various reasons (dismissal from the Institute, etc.), in the amount of 5,575 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 in favor of needy students, amounting to 83 rubles 14 kopecks per month; these deductions were issued by the Committee for Student Affairs to the poorest students in the form of allowances for maintenance and for payment of tuition fees.

In addition to the aforementioned sums, students of the Institute also received scholarships from cities and institutions, from donations by private individuals, and also from sums collected at evenings arranged in various places for the benefit of needy students. At the beginning of the reporting year, an evening was arranged in the city of Tomsk for the benefit of needy students.

From the proceeds collected at this evening, the local Society for Assistance to Students made a one-time payment of 2,728 rubles toward the fee for attending lectures for 98 students of the Institute.

Independently of this contribution, the aforesaid Society, during the reporting year, issued to student-technologists:

Recipients	Purpose	Amount
34 persons	loans for maintenance	675 rub. 00 kop.
77 persons	dinners	386 rub. 65 kop.
Total 111 students	total amount	1,061 rub. 65 kop.

The total amount of all disbursements to needy students equals 34,563 rubles 03 kopecks.

Detailed information is placed in the appendix.

PUBLICATION OF THE “INSTITUTE NEWS”

Editor: Prof. V. L. Nekrasov.

In 1907 the following funds were at the editor’s disposal:

Item	Amount
Regular appropriation	1,500 rub. 00 kop.
Balance of the 1906 credit*)	829 rub. 77 kop.
From the balances of 1906, according to named lists	1,295 rub. 32 kop.

Including:

Item	Amount
balance of the regular appropriation	1,111 rub. 25 kop.
“ special funds	72 rub. 28 kop.

Since 1907, measures have been taken for the regular appearance of the News in volumes of from 12 to 15 sheets, not less than four times a year, which is very important for exchange purposes; in 1907 volumes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the News were issued. The regular appearance of the News was hindered by the poor equipment of P. I. Makushin’s printing house, which in 1907 passed to the Siberian Printing Association; in view of this it was necessary to resort to the services of several printing houses in Tomsk and other cities—St. Petersburg and Kazan. The News is printed in a run of 400 copies and is sent, in addition to honorary members, professors, and instructors of the Institute, also to institutions in exchange for the journals published by them, the publications received from them being transferred to the Library. During the last—

*) According to the Institute’s cash book for 1907, a balance of 772 rub. 52 kop. is shown, since a payment of 57 rub. 25 kop., made on January 23, 1907, was entered in the cash book for 1906.

at the present time is taking measures toward the greatest possible expansion of exchange within Russia and abroad, believing that by this means it can bring the section of periodical publications to the desired completeness.

Central Electric Station

Head: Lecturer A. M. Krylov.

The year 1907 was the first year during which all the electrical energy required both for driving the machines and equipment (mechanical workshops, mechanical and electrotechnical laboratories) and the ventilators for artificial air exchange in the rooms, as well as for lighting the residential and instructional buildings, was supplied by the Institute’s station.

In addition to energy, the station provides steam for heating the mechanical workshops, the residential wing attached to them, the building of the station itself with the laboratories attached to it, and in the future it will also supply steam for heating the residential house at the station.

In summer the engine will operate (only from 1908 onward) with condensation; during the heating period—with pressure increased to 0.3 atm. before the filter on the piston of the engine. The exhaust steam, having passed through the filter, enters the heating network; if it is insufficient, the necessary quantity of live steam is added. The condensation water is supplied by pumps to the boiler-house tank and is used for feeding the boilers.

The station’s expenditures in 1907 were as follows:

Item	Amount
Kerosene for the engine (operation in spring and summer)	942 rub. 44 kop.
Cylinder oil	261 rub. 74 kop.
Machine oil	193 rub. 11 kop.
Hard coal	5318 rub. 20 kop.
Sulfuric acid for the accumulators	120 rub. 09 kop.

Report on the Equipment of the Boiler Engineering Laboratory

Head instructor A. M. Krylov.

For the equipment of the engineering laboratory (boilers, steam engines, internal-combustion engines, pumps, electrical installation, and hydraulic laboratory), a total of 136,597 rubles was appropriated; of this, 30,264 rub. 80 kop. was to be allocated to the boiler department.

This sum was made up of the amounts proposed in the estimate for the separate departments as follows:

	Factory charge	Delivery	Duty	Installation
III. For steam boilers, economizer, and steam superheaters	24980 r.	4050 r.	3410 r.	2660 r.
IV. Artificial draft with delivery	1350 r.	—	—	400 r.
V. Feed and steam piping	7976 r.	140 r.	—	1176 r.
VIII. Injectors, hydraulic press for boilers, jet fire pump, and pump with diving bell	855 r.	30 r.	—	280 r.
	35161 r.	4220 r.	3410 r.	4516 r.

In all, under the four items of the preliminary estimate, 47,307 r. This sum was reduced on the basis of the following considerations.

a) If the items of equipment are admitted duty-free, payment of duty amounting to 3,410 r. is eliminated.

b) One steam boiler with brickwork and fittings must be installed from the funds of the Construction Committee; the cost of this boiler is calculated at 7,900 rubles.

c) On the assumption that the factories, for the educational purpose of the installation, will grant a discount, 20% of the factory estimated cost has been excluded; this amounts to 5,732 rubles 20 kopecks (35,161—6,500 cost of the boiler from the Construction Committee = 28,661; 0.2·28,661 = 5,732.2).

The total sum subject to exclusion is therefore 17,042 r. 20 k., and consequently, of the general appropriation, 30,264 r. 80 k. falls to the share of the boiler room, with one boiler to be installed with the funds of the Construction Committee.

The equipment of the boiler room began in the autumn of 1904. By January 1, 1907, the following expenditures had been made:

In 1904, paid for a Shukhov boiler from Bari . . . 3000 r. 00 k.

“ 1905 ” “ to the Bromley firm for manholes . . . 44 r. 00 k.

“ 1906 ” “ for instruments for the laboratory (Ados, Orsa Fischer, electric pyrometer, thermometers, etc.) . . . 1694 r. 21 k.

With the equipment of the boiler room far from complete, there remains at its disposal a small sum, which will by no means suffice to make the necessary acquisitions.

One of the substantially important reasons for the insufficiency is that in the initial estimate not a single ruble was allocated for the purchase of furniture and instruments; among the latter are included, for example, scales for water and coal, so necessary in the boiler room, a water meter, instruments for gas analysis, for determining the moisture content of steam, thermometers, and so forth.

Report on the expenditure of sums allocated for the maintenance of laboratories under § 12, art. 2.

A separate sum was first allocated for the boiler room in 1907; in previous years, the appropriations for the maintenance of the mechanical workshops and the mechanical and engineering laboratories were used almost entirely for the benefit of the first two. From these, the following expenditures were made for the boiler room.

		Amount
a)	Coal consumed for distillation	12222 poods
b)	Coke obtained	5674 “
c)	Gas obtained	1294980 cu. ft.

\[ \text{Gas yield } \frac{1294980}{12222}\sim 106 \text{ cu. ft., coke yield } \frac{567400}{12222}=46.4\%. \]

From June 1 to January 1, 1908:

		Amount
a)	Coal consumed for distillation	8841 poods
b)	Coke obtained	5437 “
c)	Gas obtained	1325938 cu. ft.
