Acquired: plaster figures and instruments, including the cost of packing and delivery . . . . . . . . . . 180 rubles.
Tables, cabinets, stands, boards, a cupboard, and a washstand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 200 rubles.

Total . . . 380 rubles.

2. Physical Laboratory.

Head: Prof. B. P. Weinberg.

In the past year the physical laboratory required an extreme exertion of effort on the part of the teaching staff, who in many cases were assisted by the scholarship students Dudetsky and Sidorov. The necessity of this intensive work was due, on the one hand, to the turning point in the life of the laboratory caused by the elimination of the connection between admission to the laboratory and examinations and by the transfer of practical classes to earlier semesters; and, on the other hand, to the extensive series of adaptations of various empty or unequipped laboratory premises which took place this year and was caused by the same transfer of practical classes to earlier semesters, as well as by the adaptation of the laboratory to its beginning scientific, and not merely educational, life. Thus, in this year the largest of the rooms on the basement floor was adapted for practical work in optics; another room on the same floor was converted into a room for chemical work; another room on the same floor was adapted for variational magnetic observations; electric current was brought into all rooms on that same floor; the room adjoining the collection room was converted into a preparation room, and part of the collection of instruments was placed in a specially adapted—

an adapted room under the landing before the upper entrance to the auditorium; the photochemical room was repaired; gas was supplied to the upper platform of the tower, and also to the “cold laboratory,” the arrangement of which, as well as of the wooden base for the ice pillar, was likewise completed this year; practical classes in heat were expanded and transferred from the First Physical Laboratory to the Second Laboratory, where a separate room was assigned and adapted for them; a number of additions were made to the meteorological station, which began its activity at the end of 1909.

Meanwhile the laboratory, as in previous years, received nothing from the Institute’s special funds; of the regular appropriation of 5,000 rubles, more than one third (namely 1,672 rubles 21 kopecks) went to paying remuneration to the mechanic and attendants, and about one sixth (namely 801 rubles 56 kopecks) to paying debts from previous years, when, because the department was vacant, the balances of regular appropriations, instead of being used to pay the laboratory’s existing accounts, were used by the Institute for other needs, so that only approximately one half (2,598 rubles 40 kopecks) of the total expenditure (5,072 rubles 19 kopecks) went for its direct purpose—the maintenance of the laboratory in the current year.

The latter sum is distributed as follows (if rounded to whole rubles):

Item	Amount
Physical instruments acquired	261 rubles (229 rubles unpaid)
Meteorological and geophysical instruments acquired	546 rubles (58 rubles unpaid)
Journals and books acquired	184 rubles
Furniture acquired	48 rubles
Delivery of instruments	90 rubles
Lectures, practical classes, etc.	414 rubles (477 rubles unpaid)
Special work by teaching staff	120 rubles (40 rubles unpaid)
Special work by students	123 rubles
Equipment and maintenance of the meteorological station	141 rubles
Equipment of premises (cold laboratory—88 rubles; base for the ice pillar—84 rubles; gas supply to the upper platform—30 rubles; preparation room—85 rubles; photochemical room—39 rubles; lower chemical room—236 rubles;

lower optical—165 rubles; magnetic—57 rubles; conducting current into the basement—130 rubles) . . . . . . . . . . . . for 571 rubles (344 rubles unpaid)

Total . . . . . . . . . . . . 2598 rubles

The largest acquisitions among the instruments are: a cylinder for liquid carbon dioxide (35 rubles), a Krüger battery (65 rubles), two heavy seismographic pendulums of the system of Academician Prince B. B. Golitsyn (272 rubles), a kite meteorograph (140 rubles), two winches for launching kites (50 rubles), and four rubber envelopes for pilot balloons (58 rubles).

In Physical Laboratory I, since last year there has gradually been introduced a method of conducting practical exercises that brings them closer to the lecture course; namely, the problems are divided into three series, to which students are admitted (beginning at the end of the first semester) as the corresponding part of the course is covered. In the spring half-year, under this system the students admitted in 1909 began to work in part, but for the most part they worked according to the former system—a continuous period of 2–3 weeks (during the hours when the laboratory is open) of work to complete all the problems. Of the students of previous admissions, 197 persons worked, of whom 177 finished and 171 received credit. In the autumn half-year, however, the transition to the new system gradually took place; of the students admitted in 1904–1908, 65 persons worked, of whom 46 finished and received credit. Of the 258 students admitted in 1909 and 1910 (including here several students of previous admissions who wished to work under the new system), 40 passed all three series and received laboratory credit, 9 passed the first two series, and 27 passed the first series. The total number of those who worked in Laboratory I was 520; those who received credit numbered 257.

In Physical Laboratory II, during 1910, 392 students received credit.

Among the diploma works carried out in the laboratory, in 1910 the work by students Bykov and Karpov, “Investigation of the Chemical Composition of Atmospheric Precipitation Fallen in Tomsk in the Winter of 1909–1910,” was completed; a substantial part of this work will be printed in the Institute’s Izvestiya.

3. Geodetic and Mine-Surveying Laboratories.

Head: Lecturer P. K. Sobolevsky.

A. Financial part.

1. Debts paid: a) to Russian firms . . . 791 rub. 79 kop.
               b) to foreign firms . . . 4523 rub. 19 kop.

6. Expenses for maintenance of the laboratory . . . 225 rub. 41 kop.

Total . . . 6597 rub. — kop.

B. Pedagogical part.

In the reporting year, practical work in geodesy was performed by students of all departments.

The work continued throughout the entire academic year. Students of the Civil-Engineering and Mining Departments carried out a year-long course of work, while those of the Mechanical and Chemical Departments carried out a half-year course of work.

Owing to the large influx of students into the laboratory and the insufficient number of laboratory assistants, practical work was conducted during the day in two shifts:

from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

I. Students of the lower courses:

a) In lower geodesy

Students of the	Number
Civil-Engineering Department	82 persons
Mining Department	120 persons
Mechanical Department	134 persons
Chemical Department	35 persons
Total	371 persons

II. Students of the higher courses:

b) In higher geodesy . . . 40 persons.
c) In mine-surveying art . . . 36 persons.

d) In magnetometry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36 persons.

e) Specialists in higher geodesy, triangulation, and mine-surveying art . . . . . . . . 2 persons.

Total . . . 114 persons.

Thus, the total number of students passed through the geodetic and mine-surveying laboratory in the reporting year reaches 485 persons.

The practical laboratory work was directed by A. P. Kalimanov (senior laboratory assistant, staff) and P. V. Prikhodko (non-staff director of practical classes).

To the pedagogical activity of the laboratory must be attributed a number of laboratory publications—manuals for practical work, assignments in angular surveying, leveling, plane-table surveying, the investigation and geometric analysis of geodetic instruments, and so forth.

The duties of the head of the laboratory and his assistants also included an enormous task—the review of students’ submitted practical reports. It is sufficient to point out that, in lower geodesy, each student of the civil-engineering and mining departments submits up to 6 reports (graphical ones and with the corresponding calculations), while each student of the mechanical and chemical departments submits 4 works.

All assignments given to the students are different.

The experience of the past reporting year and of previous years has shown that the available number of laboratory assistants (1 staff and 1 non-staff director) is far too insufficient, and for the normal course of classes there should be no fewer than 4 laboratory assistants; they should also be the natural directors of the summer practical classes.

A corresponding petition has been submitted to the Departments and the Council of the Institute.

In the current reporting year, the geodetic laboratory also organized summer practical classes in two shifts, each lasting 18 days; the students of the civil-engineering department, numbering 50 persons, and of the mining department, numbering 65 persons, worked.

The practical summer classes were supervised by A. P. Kalimanov; they cost 2,980 rubles.

4. The Fundamental Library.

Activities of the Library

In the complex activity of the library, which is difficult to account for, one should distinguish the work of issuing and receiving returned publications, providing all possible references and bibliographic guidance, and the office work proper: registration of incoming publications, maintenance of the inventory catalogue, shelf lists, compilation of card catalogues, registration of incoming papers, correspondence with booksellers and concerning the exchange of Izvestia and their dispatch, and so forth.

For receiving and issuing books to professors and instructors during the academic year, the library was open from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon and from 5 to 8 in the evening; for students, from 10 to 2 and from 5 to 8 in the evening; at the same time, students used in the reading room publications not issued for home use.

During vacation time, the issuing of publications from the library to professors was carried out from 10 to 2 o’clock daily except Saturday, and to students from 11 to 1 o’clock, twice a week.

During the reporting year, 2,305 titles of various publications were issued for home use to professors and instructors, and 10,442 titles to students; in addition, 13,787 titles were delivered to the students’ reading room upon request. The total number of fulfilled requests registered in the reporting year was 26,534. If one takes into account that the work of receiving and issuing books is accompanied by other tasks unavoidable in this work—compiling and maintaining an index of books issued; keeping a waiting-list book, in which are entered candidates for books available in only a few copies and in great demand; replacing in the shelves books that have been returned; sending out notices concerning the return to the library of publications for which the period of use has expired—about 3,000 annually; and if to this is added the number of certificates issued to students upon departure on leave, then it is not difficult to form an idea of the amount of labor expended by the library staff in this part of the library’s activity.

The activity of the library office during the academic period of the year continued from 9 o’clock in the morning until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and during vacations from 10 to 2 o’clock daily, except Saturdays. The annual result of this activity was expressed in the following: 1) 1,540 titles of newly received publications were registered, for which cards were prepared in three or more copies and placed in the corresponding locations of the movable catalogues; shelf lists were compiled, and the publications were entered in the general inventory catalogue of the library. 2) In the incoming-papers book 350 Nos. were entered; in the outgoing book about 1,110 Nos. were entered, and, in addition, about 500 Nos. of open wrappers of the Izvestiya were handed over to the post office. 3) Preparation and recording of books for the binders, and noting their return.

In general, all the activity of the library was carried out by the library staff, which, besides the regular librarian and assistant librarian, included three more persons hired freely, and two attendants. These latter, besides cleaning the library premises, delivering letters, going to the post office, and other watchman’s and attendant’s duties, assisted in receiving and issuing books (they brought books from their places and set them back).

Library Commission.

(Composition and activity).

The Library Commission of 1910 consisted of: Chairman V. A. Obruchev and members F. E. Molin, V. N. Dzhons, M. N.

Ivanov, M. N. Koshurnikov, Ya. I. Mikhailenko, N. V. Gutovsky, N. P. Chizhevsky, V. L. Nekrasov, S. A. Vvedensky. During the year the following left: F. E. Molin, V. N. Jones, M. N. Ivanov, and M. N. Koshurnikov.

The activity of the Library Commission in the reporting year, as in the preceding years, was directed toward finding and implementing measures for enriching the library’s book holdings, providing those using the library with the greatest possible conveniences, and simplifying and ordering the paperwork in the library on the principles of economy of time, funds, and labor.

The Library Commission held 37 meetings, at which 246 questions were discussed and resolved. The majority of those considered were applications from professors and instructors for the acquisition of various publications for the library and for exchange with publishers and editorial offices for the Proceedings of the Institute, verification and submission of bills for payment, and so forth.

Among the resolutions of the Library Commission, the following deserve particular attention:

I) The professors’ reading room had long needed to be brought into a condition more suited to its purpose of serving as a quiet corner for reading, reference, and scholarly work by the professors and instructors of the Institute. In view of this, the library office with its typewriters was moved to a room adjoining the students’ reading room and the circulation desk.

II) In view of statements by students that, because of the noise and constant conversations of persons returning and borrowing books, scholarly study in the reading hall was impossible, a petition was submitted to the Institute’s Economic Committee for the provision of one more room for the needs of the library.

III) The person in charge of issuing books to students was charged with the duty of carrying out a monthly control and verification of issued books, and of reminding borrowers of their return by notices of a special form; a special book of queues in two forms was to be introduced.

IV) In view of the absence of complete data on the turnover of the issuing and receiving of books in the Institute library, it was resolved that, from January 1911, statistical records be introduced on specially developed forms.

V) To ensure the safety of the library property from fire, water has been laid into the library premises, and a tap with a hose is to be installed and

with brandspoit, and a petition was initiated to the Economic Committee to install a fire extinguisher in the book depository.

VI). Special boxes for storing small separate offprints and brochures, which were not sufficiently convenient for searching and were bulky, were replaced by special folders with a capacity of 10–20 brochures, of uniform height, with the number and the sequence number of the brochures indicated on the spine; these folders are placed on the shelves like other books.

VII) It was resolved to discontinue printing on the spines of books their inventory number, which provides no assistance in searching, and to leave only the figures indicating the location of the publication in the book depository, i.e., the case, the shelf, and the sequential No. on the shelf.

VIII) For the convenience and speed of searching for periodicals, and in connection with better use of space, it was resolved: to replace the case and inventory Nos. on the spines with the No. specially assigned to the given publication, placing the publications in the book depository in the order of the Nos. assigned to them.

IX) In view of the insufficient appropriation for subscribing to books for the Institute library and the considerable accumulation of book stocks in the laboratories and cabinets over the 10 years of the Institute’s existence, the value of which in all reaches almost 30,000 rubles, it was resolved:

To request the Institute Council to propose to all heads of the Institute’s institutions at which reference libraries exist that they provide to the fundamental library, for copying, the card catalogs of these libraries or, if there are none, the inventory books, with the aim of compiling a general catalog of all the book wealth of the Institute in order to make it easier for the teaching staff to use them.

X) Finally, worthy of note is the resolution of the Library Commission to take part in arranging the academic exhibition proposed for the Christmas holidays on the occasion of the completed decade of the Institute’s existence. In this connection it was intended to present, in diagrams, the growth, activity, and present state of the library and, along with this, to give the viewer an opportunity to become acquainted with the technical side of library work, which occupies so important a place in the proper organization of the library. In compiling the diagrams, the following very important circumstance became clear: the total length of shelves in the library is 713 sazhen; by January 1, 1911, 34,211 volumes had entered the library, occupying 540 sazhen, i.e., on average 64 books

per sazhen. From this it is clear that the space on the shelves at the library’s disposal, not occupied by books—173 sazhens—can hold approximately only another 10,000 volumes of books. Beginning in 1903, the number of books received annually has fluctuated only very slightly, within the limits of 2,100–2,500 volumes. On the basis of these data, it may be said almost with certainty that, under the ordinary course of the Institute’s life, the library premises would suffice for the storage of books for 4 years. Taking into account, however, the near possibility of opening an agronomic department at the Institute, one must fear that the shortage of space may become apparent even earlier than that.

The Educational Library.

As of January 1, 1910, according to the inventory of the Educational Library there were 583 titles, 2,654 volumes (of which 457 were free of charge), for a total sum of 4,496 rubles 20 kopecks.

During 1910, 52 titles and 166 volumes were received and entered in the inventory (of which 59 were free of charge), for a total sum of 325 rubles 29 kopecks.

Thus, as of January 1, 1911, according to the inventory of the Educational Library there were 635 titles, 2,820 volumes (of which 516 were free of charge), for a total sum of 4,821 rubles 39 kopecks.

In the geological museum, thanks to the installation of a new cabinet purchased with funds from Prof. V. A. Obruchev, there has been displayed a general petrographic collection and collections of: building materials from the Siberian Railway, tested in the mechanical laboratory of the Institute; polished marbles from the Pyrenees; porphyries and jasper from the Kolyvan factory in the Altai; asbestos from Siberia and the Urals; Baku and Ferghana oil; rock salt and self-precipitated salt from various localities.

Work in the geological cabinet.

1) In the spring half-year of the reporting year the cabinet was open for students’ work from January 7 to May 14; the work consisted of the following:

a) In the petrographic laboratory, students of the VIII semester of the Mining Department studied rocks using collections and thin sections, under the supervision of laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov, according to the system already set forth in previous reports.

A total of 23 students attended (17 in the mining, 3 in the exploration-geological, and 3 in the mining-plant specialties), of whom 15 students continued work begun in the autumn half-year of 1909, while 8 students (all of the mining specialty) began the work for the first time; 18 students completed the work (3 in the mining-plant, 3 in the exploration-geological, and 12 in the mining specialty; among the latter there were 8 who had continued and 4 who had begun the work in this half-year), while 5 students completed [[unclear: text continues on next page]]

Of these, 1 continued and 4 began classes in this half-year).

In the same laboratory, under the shortened program, students of the VI and VIII semesters of the Engineering-Construction Department worked under the supervision of the same laboratory assistant; in all, 30 students worked there, of whom one continued classes begun in the autumn half-year of 1909, and 29 began classes for the first time; 26 students completed the classes (1 continuing and 25 newly begun), while 4 students (from among those newly begun) did not complete them.

Altogether, in the laboratory in the spring half-year, 53 students worked and 44 completed the classes, which gives an 85% success rate.

b) In the diploma laboratory, students of the X semester of the Mining Department, in the prospecting-geological specialty, completed diploma works on the following topics:

I. E. Devyashin — Diorites and diorite porphyrites of South-Eastern Transbaikalia.

N. S. Degtyarev — The Baleginskoye deposit of magnetic iron ore in the Transbaikal Region.

P. M. Nagaev — Geological map of the environs of the city of Krasnoyarsk, Stolby sheet, northern part.

N. N. Pavlov — Basalts and traps of South-Eastern Transbaikalia.

P. N. Pershin and I. M. Seleznev — Geological map of the environs of the city of Krasnoyarsk, Stolby sheet, eastern part.

I. S. Timontaev — Melaphyres and augite porphyrites of South-Eastern Transbaikalia.

The works were carried out under the supervision of Prof. V. A. Obruchev, laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov, and scholarship student M. A. Usov (for determinations of minerals on Fedorov’s universal stage).

2) In the autumn half-year, classes began on September 15 and continued until December 5.

a) In the petrographic laboratory, the students of the IX semester of the Mining Department who had begun them in the spring half-year continued their classes, namely 5 persons of the mining specialty; 10 students began classes for the first time (6 of the mining, 2 of the prospecting-geological, 1 of the mine-surveying, and 1 of the mining-factory specialties), so that in all 15 students worked; 6 students of the mining specialty completed the classes (1 of those continuing and 5 newly begun); 9 students did not complete them, and in addition, among those who had enrolled for classes at the beginning of the half-year, did not begin to ...

7 students (6 in the mining specialty and 1 in the exploration-geological specialty) worked in it.

In the same laboratory, under an abbreviated program, 3 students of the IX semester of the Engineering-Construction Department worked; they completed the course.

In all, 18 students worked in the laboratory in the autumn half-year, and 9 students completed the course, which gives a success rate of 50%.

b) In the diploma laboratory, a student of the Mining Department, exploration-geological specialty, A. A. Rozin, worked (and almost completed) a diploma project on the topic: “Pyroxenites, serpentinites, and magnetic iron ores of S.-E. Transbaikalia.”

Work in both laboratories was conducted under the direction of the same persons as in the spring half-year.

c) Thanks to the allocation by the Institute Council of a special sum of 250 rubles for the acquisition of special furniture and models, in the autumn half-year classes in practical geology were organized for the first time (according to the method introduced by Prof. W. Hobbs in 1909 at the University of Michigan, North America).

The classes consisted in drawing up a geological map and sections on the basis of determining the position of special models depicting outcrops of various rocks—sedimentary, massive, and vein rocks—on a special table. Two such tables were installed in a separate room of the geological cabinet, and the classes were conducted simultaneously with two groups of two students each, under the direction of Prof. V. A. Obruchev. Each group had at its disposal 10 days to complete and submit the assignment, after which new assignments were prepared for the work of the next two groups; thus, in the autumn half-year, from October 1 to the beginning of December, these practical exercises were completed by twenty students of the IX semester of the Mining Department, who had already attended the course in practical geology in the 1909/10 academic year.

Throughout the entire reporting year, not excluding the summer vacation period, the scholarship student, mining engineer M. A. Usov, worked in the geological cabinet; he was engaged in processing the geological collections gathered in 1905, 1906, and 1909 in Tarbagatai, Saur, and Chinese Dzungaria by the expeditions of Prof. V. A. Obruchev.

INFORMATION

on the classes of students in 1910 in the mineralogical cabinet and laboratory.

I. Classes in the mineralogical laboratory.

A. In the spring half-year of the reporting year the laboratory was opened for classes on January 15 and closed on May 20.

The work consisted in the determination of minerals: 1) non-silicates and 2) silicates with the aid of a blowpipe. Each student of the mining division who worked was assigned the duty of determining, with the assistance and instructions of the supervisor—laboratory assistant A. V. Emelya-

—about 40 problems for each of the two above-mentioned groups of minerals; in conclusion, two test problems were given for independent solution.

The following table shows the number of students of the mining department who worked in the laboratory during the spring semester.

	Number of those who registered for work in the autumn semester of 1909 and had not completed their work by the end of that semester.	Number of those who registered for work in the spring semester of 1910.	Number who worked in the laboratory during the spring semester of 1910.	Number who completed the work and received credit.
Laboratory I (non-silicates).	15	29	42	36
Laboratory II (silicates).	7	34	41	37
	22	63	83	73
	85	85

In addition, a student of the chemical department, Grzhimsky, worked in the laboratory in order to become acquainted with the method of determining minerals by means of the blowpipe.

B. In the autumn half-year of the reporting year the laboratory did not open for classes because of the serious illness of the laboratory assistant A. V. Emelyanov, which repeatedly forced him to stop visiting the cabinet and the laboratory.

II. Work in the cabinet.

A) Spring half-year.

a) Work on the study of the crystalline forms of minerals.

These classes took place at all times when the cabinet was open, i.e. from 9 o’clock in the morning until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The work consisted in the analysis of crystalline forms and in the drawing of projections. The aids used in the classes were chiefly cardboard and glass models.

b) Exercises in the study by students of the physical and optical properties of minerals.

In view of the difficulty of satisfying all those engaged in the work with the necessary aids (collections and specimens of minerals, as well as microscopes and thin sections), the students of the mining department who attended this course were divided into 10 groups, with no more than 10 persons in each. The exercises were conducted during time free from lecture hours, each group being allotted 2 hours per week.

c) Exercises in descriptive mineralogy and in the determination of minerals by means of microscopic observations.

Exercises in the microscopy of minerals, chiefly silicates, proceeded in parallel with the reading, to the students of the mining department, of the course in descriptive mineralogy. Two practical hours per week were specially devoted to these exercises. In addition, the students independently studied the microscopy of minerals during the hours when the cabinet was open for work in other branches of mineralogy.

d) Exercises in mineralogy with students of the chemical and civil-engineering departments.

The students of the chemical department, except those of the metallurgical specialty, worked together with the students of the civil-engineering department. The exercises were held twice a week, two hours each time. Students of the chemical department—metallurgists—were allotted two hours per week for the exercises.

B. Autumn half-year.

In this half-year systematic exercises in mineralogy were conducted with students of the chemical and civil-engineering departments. For these exercises the students were divided into 8 groups of 12 persons each; each group worked two hours per week.

Individual students of the Institute began work on August 13, from which date the cabinet was also open for exercises.

The following table shows the number of students who studied in the cabinet in 1910 and received credits after passing the examination.

8. Paleontological Cabinet.

Head: Prof. M. E. Yanishevsky.

In 1910 there were received:

1. Paleontological collections from Grebel, Wendler & Co., in the amount of . . . . . . . . . . 256 rub. 90 kop.
2. Zoological collections from “Linnaea” in Berlin, in the amount of . . . . . . . . . . 307 rub. 75 kop.
3. Books and tables, in the amount of . . . . . . . . . . 255 rub. 23 kop.
4. Cabinets for collections, in the amount of . . . . . . 100 rub. — kop.
5. Lantern slides for lectures . . . . . . . . . . 18 rub. — kop.
6. Glassware for specimens, in the amount of . . . 51 rub. 13 kop.
7. Small items for the cabinet, in the amount of . . . 4 rub. 50 kop.

Total amount: 993 rub. 51 kop.

In addition, as in previous years, various persons delivered paleontological collections from various places in Siberia and European Russia.

It is necessary, however, to note that the cabinet was unable to develop significant activity for lack of funds, since a considerable share of the latter went to pay debts, while the regular appropriation allocated to the cabinet is wholly insufficient, especially in view of the fact that the maintenance of the attendant is charged to the cabinet’s funds.

The cabinet served for the regular classes of students in paleontology and historical geology.

In addition, diploma works were carried out in it:

a) by Mr. Vetoshkin on the topic: “The fauna of the Permian deposits at Krasnovidovo, Tsaritsyno, and Pechishchi in Kazan Province.”

b) by Mr. Deshevov on the topic: “Materials for the study of the fauna of the Upper Devonian of the Guberlinsky Mountains.”

In the same year, diploma works were begun by Messrs. Kalnin and N. M. Popov; the topic for them was a portion of the material collected by the student excursion along the Tom River in 1909.

9. Mechanical Laboratory.

Head: Prof. I. I. Bobarykov.

During the past year, in the laboratory, the scheduled work was completed by 123 students of the Mechanical Department, 28 students of the Civil Engineering Department, and 1 student of the Mining Department.

Students of the Mechanical Department Salozhnikov and Fidler completed a diploma work on the topic: “Comparison of the results of determining the hardness of metals by the Brinell and Ludwik methods.”

Students of the Civil Engineering Department Voronin and Shiryaev completed a diploma work on the topic: “A parallel study of concretes made of crushed stone and gravel.”

In drawing up the financial report for the Mechanical Laboratory, by comparison with the data of the Institute’s accounting office, it became clear that: a) the balance from the regular appropriation as of January 1, 1908, 129 rubles 98 kopecks, disappeared to an unknown destination.

b) the transfer of 409 rubles 45 kopecks from the funds of the Technical Laboratory of Mineral Substances into the funds of the Mechanical Laboratory for instruments transferred to the former was evidently not carried out, despite the resolution of the Economic Committee.

c) the transfer into the funds of the Mechanical Laboratory of 25 rubles for drawings executed for lectures was likewise not carried out.

Under such conditions the accounting office charges the mechanical laboratory an overexpenditure of 528 rubles 58 kopecks, which I consider entirely incorrect.

Appropriated for 1910:

Item	Amount
Regular credit	3500 rub. 00 kop.
Special funds	500 rub. — kop.
Balance as of January 1, 1910	35 rub. 85 kop.
Total	4035 rub. 85 kop.

Expenditure:

Item	Amount
Salaries for employees and allowances	1043 rub. — kop.
Daily wages to the carpenter and mason	54 rub. — kop.
Furniture	57 rub. — kop.
Materials for specimens and repairs	523 rub. 43 kop.
Books (for 1909 and 1910)	253 rub. 86 kop.
Payment to the Foreign Department on accounts from previous years	1305 rub. 03 kop.
Delivery of freight and travel	21 rub. 07 kop.
Dividing instrument	124 rub. 95 kop.
Postal, stationery, and petty expenses	63 rub. 46 kop.
Total	3445 rub. 80 kop.

Thus, according to our calculations, as of January 1, 1911 there should be a balance of 590 rubles 05 kopecks instead of 25 rubles 65 kopecks, which is counted by the accounting office.

The figure 25 rubles 62 kopecks is obtained, evidently, in the following way:

\[ 25{,}62 = 590{,}05 - 129{,}98 - 409{,}45 - 25. \]

Overexpenditure	36 rub. 53 kop.

The total amount of all expenditures for the Mechanical Workshops for 1910 would have been considerably greater than that just stated, if all bills for private orders in the Mechanical Workshops from the previous operating years up to 1910, and then all unforeseen expenditures for the acquisition of materials connected with the liquidation of private orders in the Mechanical Workshops, had been paid; in reality, owing to a shortage of funds this was not done, the workshops were closed as of June 13, 1910, and the entire staff of employees was dismissed, with the exception of three persons.

Instructional activity in the reporting year consisted of the teaching of a course in general botany and a special course in floriculture, and of practical work in these courses.

Botany was taught 2 hours per week. Practical classes in the course of plant anatomy in the first half of the reporting year (spring semester of the 1909–1910 academic year) were conducted for 4 hours per week with two parallel groups of 15 persons each, who, numbering 30 persons in all, completed the course in the spring of 1910. In the second half of the reporting year (the autumn semester of the current academic year), a new group of 15 persons began classes; it works 2 hours per week and will complete the course in the spring of 1911.

The course in zymotechnology was taught 1 hour per week for students who had chosen the technology of nutritive substances as their specialty.

Practical classes in zymotechnology in the first half of the reporting year were held once a week with one group of 12 persons, of whom 10 completed the entire course in the spring of 1910. In the second half of 1910, about 30 persons began work in zymotechnology, and they worked in three groups three days per week. On the other days, under the supervision of the laboratory assistant, the students make observations on the growth of cultures, on the development of microorganisms, etc.

During the reporting year, in the laboratory of the Botanical Cabinet, in hours free from classes, certain students (Markov, Reverdatto) processed herbariums of the Altai flora collected by them during summer excursions to the Altai.

The distribution of pure cultures of yeasts and bacteria among Siberian distilleries, breweries, and yeast factories, undertaken by the Botanical Cabinet in the spring of 1908, brought the Cabinet 142 rubles 50 kopecks in the reporting year. Requests for yeasts and bacteria were satisfied: in Tomsk—11; in Semipalatinsk—4; Minusinsk—4; Ust-Kamenogorsk, Barnaul, and in the Urals—2 each; Kainsk and Nikolsk-Ussuriisk—one each.
