Activity of the Library.

The library was open for the use of professors and instructors from 9 to 4 o’clock in the afternoon and from 5 to 8 o’clock in the evening, and for students from 10 to 2 o’clock in the afternoon and from 5 to 8 in the evening, when they made use in the reading room of publications that are not issued for home use.

During vacation time, issues to professors were made from 10 to 2 o’clock daily, except Saturdays, and to students from 11 to 1 twice a week.

During the year, various publications were issued for home use to professors and instructors: 2,977; to students: 10,023 publications. In addition, at the request of students, 11,317 titles were supplied in the reading room. Thus the total number of fulfilled requests registered in the reporting year was 24,337.

In connection with the considerable circulation of books, the work hours of the library staff continued in the first half-year from 9 to 4 in the afternoon and from 5 to 8 in the evening, during vacation time from 10 to 2 in the afternoon, except Saturdays, and in the second half-year from 9 to 3 o’clock daily. The reporting year made necessary a special intensification of the activity of the entire library staff, since, in addition to the ordinary annual work connected with the circulation of the library’s books and with newly arriving publications, there also remained the correction of defects in the card catalogue and the checking of the holdings of the library’s book department.

The carrying out of this work was begun on July 1 with the participation of two persons temporarily invited to assist the regular staff of the library, whose employment lasted 43 days, with payment at 30 rubles per month.

The work was carried out according to a plan approved by the Library Commission, in the following order: beginning with the first cabinet, from each shelf

all the books located on it were removed and, in accordance with the shelf catalogue, the corresponding books and catalogue cards were taken out of the general alphabet; these were checked against the original, corrected, supplemented, and, if they could not be found, were written anew. After this, the same shelf mark, indicating the cupboard, shelf, and place in order, was stamped in red ink with a rubber numbering device simultaneously in the upper right-hand corner of the cover and title page of each book, in the shelf catalogue, and in the upper right-hand corner of the card. Upon completion of this, a label of colored paper bearing the same shelf mark was pasted in a specified place on the spine of each book, the colors of the labels being distributed in such an order that they would not be repeated in nearby cupboards. The books were then put back in their places, and the cards were arranged in a special alphabet of checked books. In cases where, for a card taken from the shelf catalogue, no book was found, such cards were filed separately in an alphabet of books not found. In this manner, cupboard after cupboard, the holdings of all the cupboards of the book depository were reviewed from the beginning of the reporting year; cards were corrected and supplemented with missing marks, books that had been hidden under author surnames, titles, and shelf marks that did not correspond to them were discovered, and publications that had been mistakenly placed in the wrong cupboards were restored to their proper places; and, by the affixing of colored labels, the recurrence of such errors in the future was entirely prevented. Along with this, more than 1,500 small brochures were singled out into a special cupboard and enclosed in folder-cases. Multi-volume and continuing publications that had been scattered among various cupboards were placed side by side (with the exception of publications entered in the printed catalogue). Catalogues of book firms, illustrated assortments, and price lists of industrial firms, factories, and plants were likewise put in order and supplied with shelf marks convenient for locating them. Simultaneously with this, the checking and reclassification of periodicals, begun in October 1910, continued; by April the foreign periodical-literature section had been completed—more than 450 titles and over 10 thousand volumes—and by January of the reporting year more than 100 titles of Russian journals had been reclassified.

Finally, the idea of uniting the catalogues of the libraries of all the cabinets, laboratories, and other educational auxiliary institutions of the Institute at which they exist was also put into effect. In November and December of the reporting year, inventories, catalogues, or simply lists of books were received from the following libraries: Metallurgical Laboratory B, section of cast iron, iron, and steel—69 titles; Mineralogical Cabinet—214 titles; Mechanical Laboratory—360 titles; Mechanical Workshops—85 titles; Engineering Laboratory of Heat Engines—222 titles; Laboratory of Organic Chemistry—110 titles; Laboratory of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry—122 titles;

of the Technical Laboratory of Nutrients—122 titles, of the Technical Laboratory of Organic Substances—186 titles, from which copies were made on cards, and at present they constitute a special alphabet with 1,436 titles, quite ready for use by the teaching staff of the Institute. Within the limits of a brief report it is difficult to depict the degree of intensity with which the working time of the year was used; however, if one takes into account the painstaking nature of the work itself and mentally extends the manipulations described here with one book to at least 25,000 books processed by the staff, the picture will become clear.

Library Commission.

The Library Commission for 1911 consisted of: Chairman V. A. Obruchev, until October; members S. A. Vvedensky, N. V. Gutovsky, Ya. I. Mikhailenko, V. L. Nekrasov, and N. P. Chizhevsky; and from October: Chairman S. A. Vvedensky; members B. P. Weinberg, A. V. Lavrsky, A. A. Levchenko, N. P. Chizhevsky, and V. I. Shumilov.

The activity of the Commission, as in previous years, was directed toward seeking out and implementing measures for enriching the book holdings of the library, providing possible conveniences to those using the library, and simplifying and streamlining the record-keeping of the library on principles of economy of time, labor, and funds.

During the reporting year the Commission held 32 meetings, at which questions concerning the acquisition of various publications, applications from professors, students, and the librarian were discussed, and also bills presented for payment were reviewed. In addition, at the proposal of the Council, the Commission, under the chairmanship of V. A. Obruchev, in 4 meetings reviewed the rules for the use and administration of the library and, in revised form, submitted them to the Director of the Institute; and under the chairmanship of S. A. Vvedensky, in 7 meetings, it considered the question raised by the librarian concerning the distribution of the library’s funds among departments and subjects according to their needs and in such a manner that the accounting for the entire matter would be less burdensome.

Educational Library.

As of January 1, 1911, according to the inventory catalogue of the educational library, there were 635 titles in 2,820 volumes, amounting to 4,281 rubles 39 kopecks.

During 1911 there were received: paid titles 52, volumes 116, amounting to 318 rubles 48 kopecks; free titles 14, volumes 36, amounting to 54 rubles 80 kopecks. As of January 1, 1912, according to the inventory entries in the students’ educational library, there were altogether 701 titles, 2,950 volumes, amounting to 5,194 rubles 67 kopecks.

The figures indicated here have already been included in the report on the fundamental library.

2. Museum of Drawing Aids.

Curator: instructor Z. A. Rokachevsky.

In the reporting year, plaster figures, ornaments, and instruments were acquired for the museum (including the cost of delivery), for a total sum of 180 rubles.

3. Physics Laboratory.

Curator: Prof. B. P. Weinberg.

As in previous years, the physics laboratory received nothing from the Institute’s special funds. Of the regular appropriation of 5,000 rubles, almost one third (1,617 rubles 67 kopecks) went to pay remuneration to the mechanic and attendants, and about one eighth—to pay the overrun for 1910 (433 rubles 53 kopecks) and debts from the preceding period (189 rubles 35 kopecks), so that for the direct purpose—the maintenance of the laboratory in the current year—it was possible to spend only a little more than half of the regular appropriation for the laboratory, namely 2,759 rubles 45 kopecks + 0 rubles 47 kopecks of overrun as of January 1, 1912. As a result of this, the laboratory’s indebtedness by the end of the reporting year (1,108 rubles, of which 308 rubles were for earlier years) remained almost the same as it had been at its beginning (1,148 rubles), and the lag of the laboratory’s inventory behind the advancing development of the experimental technique of manufacturing physical instruments and the development of physics itself, as well as the laboratory’s insufficient equipment for scientific work, is becoming ever more apparent.

The sum expended, 2,759 rubles 92 kopecks, is distributed as follows (the individual sums are rounded to whole rubles, and in parentheses is shown the debt under the same items as of January 1, 1912):

Item	Amount
Acquired physical instruments	1429 r. (+ 68 r.)
Acquired meteorological instruments	88 r. (+ 115 r.)
Acquired journals and books	135 r. (+ 150 r.)
Delivery of instruments	184 r. (+ 7 r.)
Lectures, practical classes, etc.	388 r. (+ 572 r.)
Special work by teaching staff	95 r. (+ 111 r.)
Special work by students	26 r. (+ 19 r.)
Equipment and maintenance of the meteorological station	129 r. (+ 9 r.)
Equipping of premises (base for the ice column—70 r., preparation room—62 r., lower chemical room—30 r., lower optical room—85 r., magnetic room—30 r., running current into the basement—8 r.)	285 r. (+ 48 r.)
Total	2760 r. (+1109 r.)

Among the instruments acquired in 1911, mention should be made of Pfeiffer oil and mercury air pumps (800 rubles), a Weston standard cell (19 rubles), a Bosch thermograph (37 rubles), and a simple Ives spectrograph (20 rubles).

The extreme strain on the laboratory’s resources required by the teaching staff in 1910 (see the report for that year) diminished somewhat in the past year of 1911—especially in the spring half-year, when the number of students working (chiefly in Laboratory I), owing to the considerable number of expulsions from the Institute, fell below the norm. In the autumn half-year, however, experience showed that—even with the normal course of work—there was nevertheless such an overload on the existing teaching staff that the Council of the Institute unanimously recognized the necessity of a third laboratory assistant for the physics laboratory and submitted the corresponding petition.

The instructional activity of Laboratories I and II may be characterized by the following figures:

	In the spring half-year	In the autumn half-year
Worked in Laboratory I	59	236
Received credit in Laboratory I	50	92
Received credit in Laboratory II	91	93
Worked in Laboratory II but had not yet received credit	—	22

The lull in the spring half-year revealed by these figures did not affect the scientific work, which proceeded in the laboratory with equal intensity both in that half-year and in the autumn. During 1911 the following investigations were carried out in the physics laboratory:

1) B. P. Weinberg—on the increase of force under slow, uniform twisting of a copper wire (reported at the II Mendeleev Congress).

2) His own—on the dependence of the coefficient of internal friction of steam and asphalt on temperature (prepared for publication).

3) His own—on the development of convenient methods for determining the specific gravity of ice and its resistance to fracture (submitted for publication).

4) His own and student V. D. Dudetsky—on the action of an electromagnet on moving iron masses.

5) His own and student Afimov—on the influence of the dimensions of the tube in which a sphere falls in a viscous liquid upon its velocity.

6) Instructor A. V. Ignatyev—on the surface tension of solid paraffin (submitted for publication).

7) His own—on photographing the red and infrared part of the spectrum.

8) Student V. D. Dudentsago—on the method of determining the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field by compensating its field with a coil carrying current.

9) Student I. I. Sidorov—on the influence of the surface of a thermometer on its readings in vapors of boiling water.

10) Student Gosteunin and Le-Dantu—on the resistance of a very viscous body to the motion of a solid body inside it (accepted as a thesis and prepared for printing).

11) Students Krutikov and Smurygin—on the forces of internal friction in water under uniform shear (prepared for submission as a thesis).

12) Students Miloradov and Tolmachev—on the internal friction of tar and its mixtures.

Creditor lists:

No.	Creditor	Amount in marks and pfennigs	Amount in rubles and kopecks
1)	Cornelius Heintz, Aachen	1055 m. 05 pf.	488 r. 49 k.
2)	Heraeus, Hanau.	436 m. 38 pf.	202 r. 04 k.
	Total		690 r. 53 k.
	Net balance		375 r. 50 k.
	Grand total		1066 r. 03 k.

In the balance presented, the receipts are shown according to the accounting data; in our opinion, however, as of January 1, 1911, the balance should be listed as 590 r. 05 k., and consequently the net balance as of January 1, 1912, will be determined in the amount of 972 r. 22 k. This amount includes:

a) 409 r. 45 k., subject to refund for apparatus for cement testing.

b) 129 r. 98 k., the balance as of January 1, 1908, spent by the Economic Committee in an unknown manner.

c) 25 r., subject to refund for the execution of a lecture drawing.

d) 6 r. 67 k., withheld by the Economic Committee in payment of an account of Ostrometskapo unknown to us.

Among the valuable acquisitions during the past year may be noted: a thermoelectric pyrometer with a galvanometer, costing 158 r. 14 k.

6. Mechanical Workshops.

Head: Prof. T. I. Tikhonov.

For the maintenance of the Mechanical Workshops from regular funds in 1911, there was allocated . . . . . . . 3000 r. — k.

Of this, there was expended:

Expenditure item	Amount
For the maintenance of employees	1529 r. 27 k.
“ acquisition of materials	447 r. 42 k.
“ teaching aids	192 r. 30 k.
“ office expenses	5 r. 97 k.
“ renewal of tools	388 r. 12 k.
“ petty expenses	68 r. 40 k.
Total	2631 r. 38 k.
To cover debts from previous years	368 r. 62 k.

According to the proposed estimate of the Institute’s special funds for 1911, it was proposed to allocate, for the payment of debts from private orders of previous years for the Mechanical Workshops, 4000 rubles, and 2000 rubles for the maintenance of the Mechanical Workshops in addition

to the previously indicated regular appropriation of 3,000 rubles, on the assumption that the Mechanical Workshops would be fully opened for student instruction from September 1, 1911. But the estimate of the Institute’s special funds for 1911 had not yet been approved in 1911, and the proposed sums did not come into the possession of the Mechanical Workshops. The regular appropriation of 3,000 rubles for 1911 was so insignificant that the Mechanical Workshops, owing to the lack of funds, were partially closed in the current year. Thus, the forge did not operate at all, while the modeling and foundry shops were opened only temporarily for instructional purposes from the end of November of this year, with the permission of the Economic Committee, against the credit for 1912. The staff of fitters in the Mechanical Workshops in the past year consisted of only one experienced fitter and four apprentices. Such an abnormal situation in the mechanical workshops, due to the insufficiency of the funds allotted, will undoubtedly have a regrettable effect on the overall system of teaching applied technical sciences in the Mechanical Division of the Institute, since the Mechanical Workshops are the only institution in Tomsk and its nearest environs where students can become more closely acquainted with the practical side of the matter.

Student work in 1911 was conducted according to the program of the preceding year, except that, owing to the partial closure of the Mechanical Workshops, the manufacture of scales was omitted from the program of the course “Mechanical Workshops II.”

In 1911, under the program “Mechanical Workshops I,” 31 persons completed the work; 26 persons were exempted from the work and received credit for “Mechanical Workshops I,” as having graduated from secondary technical schools or having presented certificates of work as fitters and on machine tools in railway depots, workshops, and factories.

Under the program “Mechanical Workshops II,” all work was completed by 65 persons.

10. Engineering Laboratory (steam-engine section).

Instructor in charge: A. V. Ugarov.

For the steam-engine laboratory, owing to the lack of funds, except for books in the amount of 34 rubles 75 kopecks and small instruments for testing steam engines in the amount of 26 rubles, nothing was acquired.

11. Engineering Laboratory (heat-engine section).

Head: Prof. V. L. Malyshev.

For 1911 there was appropriated:

Head: Prof. P. K. Sobolevsky.

A. Financial part.

Of the 1,000 rubles of regular appropriations for the Geodetic Laboratory, 585 rubles went to pay the salaries of two attendants; the remaining 415 rubles were spent partly on the publication of aids for the students’ performance of practical (laboratory) work in the cycle of geodetic sciences (various assignments, forms, questionnaires, instructions, etc.), partly on the arrangement and execution of diploma projects, and partly on minor expenses.

B. Instructional part.

Laboratory work was organized in the same way as in previous years.

This entire sum, together with the greater part of the anticipated appropriation from special funds, amounting in all to 1367 rub. 71 kop., was intended to be spent in the same reporting year on payment of the account of the firm R. Fuess in Steglitz (2945 marks 50 pf.) for 15 microscopes, extremely necessary for the students’ exercises. The order was placed in the middle of the summer, but receipt of the microscopes was delayed: they were delivered to the Institute only on December 21. At the same time, the non-approval of the proposed appropriation of 1000 rubles from special funds led to a further postponement of payment of the account; in mid-January 1912 it became necessary to make an inquiry to the firm R. Fuess about the possibility of deferring payment in two installments: 667 rub. 71 kop. was to be paid immediately, and the remaining amount—700 rubles—from the credit requested from the Ministry of Public Education.

As of January 1, 1911, according to the inventory, the cabinet contained:

No.	Items	Quantity	Amount

According to the material book for the past year, 1911, expenditures for the maintenance of the cabinet and laboratory amount to 632 rubles 55 kopecks.

There were no major acquisitions in the reporting year.

As gifts the cabinet received during the reporting year:

1) From the Department of Mineralogy: from N. V. Astafiev—ores and minerals from Yenisei Province; from M. P. Nesterov—several minerals from the same province; from I. L. Chaevsky—a sample of white Surakhany oil; from V. M. Rusinov—14 hand specimens of minerals from the Vysokogorsky and other mines in the Urals; from Prof. V. A. Obruchev—a collection of ores and minerals from the Urals, chiefly from the Berezovsky mine; from N. S. Raznitsyn—dioptase and bornite from the Kyrgyz steppe; from P. I. Gudkov—several minerals from the Sludyanka River near Lake Baikal; from V. E. Evreiskov—minerals from the Berezovsky and other mines of the Urals; from N. V. Yakobson—several specimens of copper and asbestos ores from the Tagil mines; from A. G. Popemutsky—marbles from the Sludyanka River near Lake Baikal. In addition, a number of individual donations from students of the Institute and other persons should be noted.

2) From the Department of Books: from M. A. Usov—his work: Fedorov’s or the universal optical method for the investigation of rock-forming minerals, especially feldspars; from V. I. Sokolov—two brochures; from I. F. Matasov—a lithographed course of lectures on mineralogy by Prof. P. Eremeev, delivered at the Petersburg Technological Institute.

The available staff of the cabinet in the reporting year consisted of the head of the cabinet, Prof. A. V. Lavrsky, and two regular laboratory assistants—the senior assistant A. V. Emelyanov (from February 1 to September 1 he was on leave granted to him because of illness) and the junior assistant appointed to the position, graduate of the Institute, mining engineer N. N. Pavlov (from January 1). The latter was entrusted with conducting practical work in the laboratory, as well as with guidance in the students’ study of the various branches of mineralogy. In addition, laboratory assistant N. N. Pavlov during the reporting year worked on processing the collection of rocks brought by him jointly with Prof. V. A. Obruchev from the expedition to the southwestern spur of the Altai (the Kalbinsky Range).

Laboratory assistant A. V. Emelyanov in the reporting year was occupied with reviewing and repairing the teaching collections for students in descriptive mineralogy; since the time of their compilation (in 1901), these collections had become almost entirely unusable, and a considerable part had even been lost or broken; in addition, he continued compiling the general and card catalogues of the minerals in the cabinet; the names were checked, renumbered, and 238 mineral numbers were entered in the card catalogue (from No. 2465 to No. 2702).

General information on students’ work in 1911.

1. Work in the mineralogical laboratory.

A) In the spring half-year of the reporting year, the laboratory was open for work from January 10 and closed on May 24, with a one-month interruption (April).

The work consisted in the determination of minerals: 1) non-silicates and 2) silicates, by means of a blowpipe. Each student working in the mining department and in the chemical department (metallurgical specialty) was required to determine, with the assistance and directions of the instructor, 25 problems in each of the two above-named groups of minerals; in conclusion, two control problems were assigned for independent solution.

B) In the autumn half-year of the reporting year, work in the laboratory took place from September 12 to December 21. The work was conducted according to the same program as in the spring half-year.

The following table shows the number of students who worked in the laboratory during the spring and autumn half-years.

Half-year	Name of work	Number enrolled for work: Mining Department	Number enrolled for work: Chemical Department	Number working in the laboratory: Mining Department	Number working in the laboratory: Chemical Department	Number who completed the work and received credit: Mining Department	Number who completed the work and received credit: Chemical Department
Spring	Non-silicates	19	2	19	2	24	2
Spring	Silicates	24	2	24	2	18	2
Total	for the half-year	43	4	43	4	42	4
Autumn	Non-silicates	28	—	27	—	26	—
Autumn	Silicates	34	—	34	—	32	—
Total	for the half-year	62	—	61	—	58	—
Total	for the year	105	4	104	4	100	4
Total	for the year	109	109	108	108	104	104

There were no refusals to those wishing to work in the laboratory for lack of places; on the contrary, there were always vacant places in reserve.

II. Work in the cabinet.

A) Spring half-year.

In this half-year no systematic practical classes were held with students, owing to the student strike. The cabinet in all branches of mineralogy was open for students’ work from January 2 to June 14, daily from 9 o’clock in the morning to 3 o’clock in the afternoon; before the onset of the examination periods and during them, the cabinet was opened for work at the request of students from 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on holidays.

B) Autumn semester.

In this semester the cabinet was open for classes in all departments of mineralogy from August 23 to December 31, with a break from December 23 to 27 inclusive—at the same hours as in the spring semester; in addition, on November 17, at the students’ request, the cabinet was also opened in the evenings, from 4 to 6 o’clock; before the beginning of the December examination period and during it, classes were also held on holidays.

a) Classes in the study of the crystalline forms of minerals.

These classes took place whenever the cabinet was open, and consisted in the analysis of crystalline forms and the drawing of projections. The teaching aids used in the classes were chiefly cardboard and glass models.

b) Classes for students in the study of the physical and optical properties of minerals.

For these classes the students were provided with all five microscopes in the cabinet, with the necessary accessories and thin sections, and, for the study of physical and morphological properties, specimens of minerals. In the month of December, with students of the mining department who in the preceding academic year had attended the course in physical and physicochemical crystallography (Crystallography II), additional practical classes in the study of the optical properties of minerals were held at their request. The number of microscopes available in the cabinet proved insufficient for those who had enrolled in these classes (24 persons). In view of this, all those enrolled were divided into two groups—12 persons in each. The classes were conducted in time free from lecture hours, each group being allotted 2 weeks under the supervision of the head.

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

Classes in the microscopy of minerals, chiefly silicates, were conducted in parallel with the reading to students of the mining department of the course in descriptive mineralogy. Two hours per week were devoted to these classes. In addition, students studying descriptive mineralogy independently engaged in the microscopy of minerals at times when the cabinet was open for classes in other departments of mineralogy.

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

The classes consisted in the analysis of simple crystalline forms by means of cardboard and glass models and in the study of the morphological, as well as the physical—chiefly optical—properties of minerals.

In view of the impossibility of supplying all those wishing to study with the necessary aids (collections and specimens of minerals, and especially microscopes and thin sections), the students were divided into six groups of 12 persons each; the classes began in November, when sufficient material had accumulated from the part of the mineralogy course that had been read by that time. Each of the six groups of students that were formed was allotted for classes only a single week under the supervision of the head.

In the following table are grouped the numerical data on the number of students of the mining, chemical, and civil-engineering departments who worked in the cabinet during 1911 and received credits after passing examinations.

Name of half-year	Examination periods	Mining Department: Geometrical crystallography (Crystallography I)	Mining Department: Physical and physicochemical crystallography (Crystallography II)	Mining Department: Descriptive mineralogy (Mineralogy I)	Mining Department: Descriptive mineralogy, systematic mineralogy (Mineralogy II)	Chemical Department: Mineralogy	Civil-Engineering Department: Mineralogy	Total
Spring	In January	3	1	3	3	4	3	17
Spring	In May and June	18	23	21	16	8	17	103
Spring	Total for the half-year	21	24	24	19	12	20	120
Autumn	In September	1	5	6	7	—	—	19
Autumn	In December	8	20	30	27	29	6	120
Autumn	Total for the half-year	9	25	36	34	29	6	139
Total for the year		30	49	60	53	41	26	259

In conclusion, one cannot fail to note the circumstance that the inadequacy of the cabinet’s funds has an extremely adverse effect on the timely replenishment and improvement of the necessary aids in the teaching of mineralogy and in the various kinds of student work.

It is urgently necessary to increase the number of microscopes to at least 20, and also to have a stock of thin sections and minerals for replenishing the teaching collections and for replacing broken specimens with new ones; finally, the need has become clear to acquire a new collection of crystallographic cardboard models to replace the one that has become almost completely unusable.

In the same Geological Cabinet, throughout the spring half-year and until the middle of summer, scholarship holder, mining engineer M. A. Usov worked; he completed the processing of a geological collection from borderland Dzungaria and published the scholarly work “Description of Rocks,” 429 pages, with 16 plates, as an appendix to the Proceedings of the Institute for 1911.

c) In practical geology, classes according to the system of Prof. Powell, described in the report for 1910, were conducted under the direction of V. A. Obruchev; they were completed by 15 students of the VIII and X semesters of the Mining Department.

2) In the autumn half-year the classes began on September 15 and ended on December 20.

a) In the petrographic laboratory, 5 students of the IX semester of the Mining Department, who had begun them in the spring half-year, continued their studies, and 14 students began studies anew (7 in the mining specialty, 3 in the prospecting-geological specialty, and 4 in the mining-and-metallurgical specialty); thus, in all, 19 students took part, of whom 8 completed the course (including all 5 who had begun in the spring half-year), while 11 did not complete it.

Under the shortened program, 13 students of the VII semester of the Civil Engineering Department took part, all of whom completed the course.

b) In the diploma laboratory, students of the Mining Department, prospecting-geological specialty (IX semester), began carrying out diploma works (but did not finish them): N. I.

At the end of the reporting year a bookcase priced at 75 rubles was acquired, but paid for from the remainder of special funds at the beginning of 1912.

Instructional activity in the reporting year consisted of the delivery of the full program of the courses in botany and zymotechnics and of practical classes in these courses.

Botany was taught two hours per week. Practical classes in plant anatomy were likewise allotted two hours weekly. In the spring of the reporting year, 11 persons completed the course of these classes, and in the autumn semester of the current academic year a new group of 16 persons began the classes.

The course in zymotechnics was taught one hour per week for students specializing in the technology of food substances. Practical classes in zymotechnics in the first half of the reporting year were conducted three times a week with three groups of 10 persons each, of whom, however, only 17 persons completed the course of work. In the second half of 1911, 25 persons began the classes, and they are working in two groups twice a week. On the days and at the hours when the laboratory is free from lectures and group classes, the students, under the supervision of the laboratory assistant, make observations on the growth of cultures.

The dissemination of pure cultures of yeasts and bacteria among Siberian distilleries, breweries, and yeast factories in the reporting year is characterized by the following figures: sold yeast-

yeasts and bacteria, for 110 rubles 50 kopecks; requests were satisfied: Tomsk—13, Ust-Kamenogorsk—6, Barnaul, Zmeinogorsk, Semipalatinsk—2 each, Minusinsk, Karatuz station, and Irkutsk—one each.

During the reporting year, experiments continued on the fermentation, by pure yeast cultures, of Siberian honeys and berry juices.

29. Gas Plant.

Head: Prof. V. N. Dzhons

The gas plant attached to the Tomsk Technological Institute operated daily in 1911, with 795 charges made, each weighing 14–22 poods.

The results of the work were as follows:

Item	Quantity
Coal consumed for distillation	16696 poods
Coal consumed for firing	10840 poods
Coke obtained	9279 poods
Gas obtained	2465563 cubic feet
Tar obtained	789 poods 20 funt

The average yield of gas for the first half of the reporting year, \(1151415:7182 = 160.32\) cu. ft. from 1 pood of coal, is very good; the average gas yield for the second half of the reporting year, \(1314148:9514 = 138.13\) cu. ft. from 1 pood of coal, is very low, having not occurred since 1909. There are several reasons for this: 1) a lot of 1067 poods of cheaper Kemerovo coal gave a lower gas yield, namely 96.1 cu. ft.; 2) the gas yield from Cheremkhovo coal proved lower than usual, namely 143.4 cu. ft., which may be explained partly by the poorer quality of the last lots of coal, and partly by the wear of the retorts, which require replacement. The ordering of new retorts in the current year is necessary.

The consumption of coke was as follows:

Item	Quantity
Issued to the central station of the Institute	70 poods
Issued to the metallurgical laboratory for iron	10 poods
Issued to the laboratory of inorganic chemistry	1 pood
Sold to private persons	856 poods
For firing gas furnaces and the boiler	8192 poods
Total	9129 poods

There was no coke in stock in the first half of the reporting year; in the second half, the coke in stock amounted to 150 poods.

Item	Quantity
Tar issued to the Technological Institute	46 poods
Tar sold to various persons	443 poods 20 funt
Total	489 poods 20 funt

The stock of resin for the second half of the reporting year amounted to 300 poods.

During the entire reporting year, 2,465,563 cubic feet of gas were obtained, of which 1,336,211 cubic feet were supplied to the University.

For distillation, 16,696 poods of coal were used, at a price of 21–13 kopecks per pood; for firing, 10,840 poods of coal at a price of 12½ kopecks per pood. Coke, in excess of that used for firing the gas furnaces and the boiler, was sold, released, and remained in the amount of 789 poods 20 pounds, at a price of 50 kopecks per pood.

Salaries paid to employees amounted to 2,057 rubles 35 kopecks.

Thus, all expenditures for the gas works for the reporting year are as follows:

Item	Amount
15,629 poods of coal at 21 kopecks	3,282 r. 09 k.
1,067 poods of coal at 13 kopecks	138 r. 71 k.
10,840 poods of coal at 12½ kopecks	1,355 r. 01 k.
Salaries to employees	2,507 r. 35 k.
Current expenses	215 r. 57 k.
For current and capital repairs	864 r. 53 k.
Total	8,363 r. 26 k.

Deducting the value of coke

Item	Amount
\(0.28 \times 1087 =\)	304 r. 36 k.
resin \(0.50 \times 789.5 =\)	394 r. 75 k.
Total	699 r. 75 k.

we obtain the full expenditure:

\[ (8363\ \text{r.}\ 26\ \text{k.} - 699\ \text{r.}\ 11\ \text{k.}) = 7664\ \text{r.}\ 15\ \text{k.} \]

The cost of 1,000 cubic feet of gas for the first half of the reporting year amounts to 2 rubles 98 kopecks; the cost of 1,000 cubic feet of gas for the second half of the same year amounts to 3 rubles 21 kopecks.

Of the entire quantity of gas obtained during the reporting year, 1,336,211 cubic feet of gas were supplied to the University during the period from January 1, 1911 to January 1, 1912, for the sum of 4,052 rubles 50 kopecks.

IV. Publishing Activity

1. Publication of the “Institute Proceedings.”

Editor: Prof. V. A. Obruchev.

1) For the publication of the Proceedings, the following was allocated in 1911:

Item	Amount
a) From regular funds	1,500 r. — k.
b) From special funds	1,325 r. 83 k.
c) Proceeds received from the sale of volumes V, VI, XVIII, XII, and XXI of the Proceedings	9 r. 89 k.
Total	2,835 r. 72 k.
Deduct overexpenditure, 1908	561 r. 81 k.
Remaining for publication of the Proceedings	2,273 r. 91 k.

2) Expended, paid:

a) To Orlova’s Printing House for printing articles for the Izvestiya of 1909 and 1910 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 387 rub. 29 kop.

b) To the Printing House of the Siberian Association, according to invoice No. 13, for volume XXI of the Izvestiya . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 851 rub. 09 kop.

c) To the firm Knapp in Halle for phototypes for the article by N. V. Gutovsky . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 rub. 28 kop.

d) Phototypes by P. Pavlov in Moscow for tables to the articles by T. I. Tikhonov in volumes XXIV and XXV of the Izvestiya . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 rub. — kop.

e) To the Printing House of the Siberian Association, according to invoice No. 251, for volume XXII of the Izvestiya . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1028 rub. 08 kop.

f) To the Printing House of the House of Industry for printing the article by S. P. Gomell for volume XXIV of the Izvestiya, according to invoice No. 582 . . . 23 rub. — kop.

g) To the Printing House of the Siberian Association, according to invoice No. 532, for volume XXIII of the Izvestiya . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 956 rub. 38 kop.

h) To student V. Brzhestovsky for photographic plates for the article by P. A. Kazansky (for the Izvestiya of 1912) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 rub. — kop.

i) To the Siberian Railway for delivery of freight (tables for the articles by T. I. Tikhonov and P. A. Kazansky: 3 rub. 75 kop. + 5 rub. 61 kop. + 10 rub. 46 kop.) . . 19 rub. 82 kop.

k) Advance to the editor for petty expenses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 rub. — kop.

Total expenditure	3582 rub. 94 kop.
Overexpenditure	1309 rub. 03 kop.

In addition, the invoice of the Printing House of the Siberian Association for 604 rub. 96 kop. for volume XXIV of the Izvestiya of 1911 remained unpaid.

The overexpenditure is explained by two causes:

1) From special funds, instead of the 2000 rub. originally designated, 1325 rub. 83 kop. were actually released (after deducting 69 rub. 75 kop. of the overexpenditure of 1910 from the 1395 rub. 58 kop. entered in the estimate). In addition, from the regular appropriation there was unexpectedly withheld the overexpenditure of 1908 in the amount of 561 rub. 81 kop.; in all, the amount for publication, instead of the normal 3500 rub., was smaller by 1235 rub. 98 kop.

2) On the other hand, in 1911 invoices were paid partly for preceding years (Orlova’s, 387 rub. 29 kop.), and partly for 1912 (Knapp, 46 rub. 28 kop.; P. Pavlov, 22 rub.; Brzhestovsky, 61 rub.; railway, 16 rub. 07 kop.), in all 562 rub. 64 kop.

Adding these expenses to the Proceedings for 1911 and the unreceived sum of 1,235 rubles 98 kopecks, we obtain 1,798 rubles 62 kopecks. The overexpenditure of 1,309 rubles 3 kopecks and the unpaid bill for volume XXIV of the Proceedings for 1911 amount to 1,913 rubles 09 kopecks, to which must be added 110 rubles paid in 1910 to Pavlov for the tables for the Proceedings of 1911; i.e., the actual overexpenditure on publishing the Proceedings in 1911 would have amounted to only 225 rubles 37 kopecks, with the normal appropriation of 3,500 rubles, and is explained by the increased size of all four volumes of that year and the abundance of various tables accompanying the articles.

Adding to this sum the editor’s remuneration in the amount of 300 rubles, we find that each of the volumes of the Proceedings of 1911 cost on average 1,008 rubles 81½ kopecks, i.e., only 49 rubles 03½ kopecks more than the average cost of a volume in 1910, despite the increased size.

1. For publication in the form of an “Appendix to the Proceedings” of the full report on the travels of Prof. V. A. Obruchev in Dzungaria, undertaken by order and at the expense of the Institute, 4,700 rubles 60 kopecks were appropriated from the remainder of the funds for scientific travel in Siberia.

In 1911, the following was expended from this sum:

Item	Amount
a) To the Printing House of the Siberian Society, according to bill No. 522, for typesetting and printing issue 1, volume II	1,231 rubles 16 kopecks
b) To P. Pavlov’s phototype workshop for 8 plates of microphotographs for this issue	241 rubles 50 kopecks
c) As an advance to the editor for payment of a deposit to the firm Brockhaus in Leipzig for ordered maps for volume I and for minor expenses	200 rubles 00 kopecks
Total	1,672 rubles 66 kopecks
Remaining for further expenses in (1912) for the publication of the report	3,027 rubles 94 kopecks

In 1911, issue I of volume II was published, containing a description of the rocks of Dzungaria, compiled by the Institute’s scholarship holder, mining engineer M. A. Usov, and costing (with minor expenses) 1,510 rubles 84 kopecks, in a quantity of 800 copies (400 for appendices to the Proceedings, 100 author’s copies, and 300 for separate sale at a price of 5 rubles, so that the publication will in time almost pay for itself).
