Among the paid acquisitions of the library, the following deserves special attention:

Euleri L. Opera omnia, published by Teubner with the participation of the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences. The entire edition is planned in 45 volumes; at present the library has received the following:

Ser. I. Opera mathematica, vol. I (Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra mit den Zusätzen von Lagrange. Hersg von N. Weber. Leipzig, 1911. Opera Mathematica, vol. XX: Commentationes analyticae ad theoriam integralium ellipticorum pertinentes, vol. I. Leipzig, 1912.

Ser. III. Opera physica, miscellanea, epistolae, vol. II–III. Dioptrica. Leipzig, 1911–1912.

Activities of the Library

The library was open for the use of professors and instructors from 9 to 3 in the afternoon and from 6 to 8 in the evening, and for students from 10 to 2 in the afternoon for the issue of books for home use and from 6 to 8 in the evening, when they used in the reading room publications that are not permitted to be issued for home use.

During vacation periods, materials were issued to professors and instructors from 10 to 2 o’clock daily except Saturdays, and to students from 11 to 1 o’clock twice a week.

During the year, 3,004 titles of various publications were issued to professors and instructors, and 10,636 titles to students. In addition, at the requests of students, 7,906 titles were delivered in the reading room. Thus the total number of requests satisfied in the reporting year was registered as 21,546.

In view of the considerable circulation of books in the library, the activity of the library staff, besides satisfying the current work caused by newly arriving publications, was also directed toward continuing the work begun last year to correct the defects of the card alphabetical catalog.

The principal work of correcting the cards and bringing them into conformity with the library’s holdings was carried out according to the program set forth in the report for 1911. The alphabetical catalog of the library at present represents an actual copy of the library’s book collection. In view of the fact that full use of the library’s book resources cannot be achieved without a systematic catalog, work has begun on making a copy of the card alphabet; after it is prepared, the cards will be arranged systematically by subjects and groups of subjects in the order to be indicated by the Library Commission.

In addition, work continued on preparing a catalog of periodical publications, which at present has been brought up to the letter Р, and the Russian-language portion of it will very soon be completed. The compilation of a catalog of publications of bibliographic content has been finished, and the rewriting of the library’s inventory books into cord-bound inventory books of the new model has continued.

Alongside this, no less important work was carried out to compare the holdings of the library’s book property with the entries in the inventories, in the following order: they open the first inventory catalog, dating from the foundation of the library, read the title of the publication entered there under No. 1, then find the card for this publication in the card catalog and enter in red ink into the inventory its shelfmark, indicating its location in the book depository. With this the operation is completed; they proceed to the next entry by number, and so on.

Unfortunately, this work, which at first glance is purely mechanical, is complicated by the fact that the persons who entered newly received publications in the inventory did not always possess sufficient experience and knowledge to distinguish the author from the publisher. In many cases the transcription of authors’ surnames is recorded in distorted form.

Such deficiencies make this work difficult and make it feasible only with sufficient knowledge of bibliography and experience. Because of the reduction in the staff of library employees, this work has been suspended.

Instructional Library

By January 1, 1912, according to the inventory catalogue of the Student Instructional Library, there were in all 701 titles, in 2,950 volumes, for the sum of 5,194 rubles 67 kopecks.

Activity of the Library Commission.

The Library Commission consisted, in the spring half of the reporting year, under the chairmanship of S. A. Vvedensky, of members B. P. Weinberg, A. V. Lavrsky, A. A. Levchenko, N. P. Chizhevsky, and V. I. Shumilov; in the autumn half-year S. A. Vvedensky and N. P. Chizhevsky left the Commission, and in their place N. N. Vorozhtsov and P. A. Minyaev were elected, while A. V. Lavrsky was elected chairman.

The Commission held 15 meetings in the reporting year. The ordinary current work of the Commission consisted in considering: 1) orders from members of the teaching staff, 2) bills sent to the library, 3) proposals for exchanging the Institute’s Izvestiya for other publications or requests for free dispatch of these Izvestiya, and 4) proposals to acquire certain publications to replenish the library. Among the more important questions that passed through the Commission in the reporting year, the following should be noted: 1) the draft, submitted to the Council, of a motivated petition to the ministry for an increase in the regular appropriation for the library to 10,000 rubles according to the following estimate:

1) for subscriptions to current periodical publications . . . . 3000 r.
2) for subscriptions to books and sets of periodical
publications for previous years . . . . . . . . . . 4500 r.
3) for binding and shipping . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2000 r.
4) for petty and office expenses . . . . . . . . . . . . 500 r.

10000 r.

2) The draft, submitted there as well and for the same purpose, for strengthening the staff of employees in the library; 3) the preparation of a list of periodical publications received by the Institute, both for the Library and for the educational auxiliary institutions; 4) a petition to the Council to grant the Commission the right, when fulfilling orders only of the teaching staff, not to take into account either savings or overruns from previous time until larger appropriations for the library are obtained; 5) determination of the amount of losses incurred by the Library from the improper actions of the former assistant librarian Pontus.

2. Museum of Drawing Aids.

Head: Instructor Z. A. Rokachevsky.

Information for 1912 was not delivered to the editor.

3. Physical Laboratory.

Head: Professor V. P. Weinberg.

The funds of the physical laboratory, as before, consisted only of the regular appropriation of 5,000 rubles, of which more than one third (1,686 rubles 51 kopecks) went to remuneration for the mechanic and two attendants. Therefore, only in the hope that in the forthcoming, perhaps not distant, future the laboratory would be relieved of this expense and the sums borrowed in previous years by other departments and for other needs of the Institute would be returned to the laboratory, could one temporarily reconcile oneself to the fact that in the past year, 1912, “the lag of the laboratory inventory behind the advancing development of experimental techniques for the manufacture of physical instruments and the development of physics itself, and the insufficient equipment of the laboratory for scientific work, became ever more pronounced,” as was stated in the laboratory report for 1911. From this point of view it was even possible to reduce considerably the laboratory’s indebtedness: from 1,108 rubles as of January 1, 1912 (the accounting overrun for 1911 amounted to 1,616 rubles 39 kopecks, because to the 1,108 rubles indicated in the laboratory report as of January 1, 1912, payment for instruments authorized by the Economic Committee for purchase and received in January 1912 was subsequently added, of which 308 rubles were for previous years), it decreased to 774 rubles by January 1, 1913, with the entire latter amount relating to the expenses of the last year.

By individual items this overrun is distributed as follows:

Item	Amount
Physical instruments acquired	16 rubles
Meteorological instruments acquired	10 rubles
Furniture acquired	101 rubles

Spent on journals and books — 25 rubles
Delivery of instruments — 6 rubles
Lectures, practical classes, etc. — 236 rubles
Special work by the teaching staff — 161 rubles
Special work by students — 135 rubles
Maintenance of the meteorological station — 7 rubles
Equipping the premises — 49 rubles

Total — 746 rubles

The expended sum of 3,313 rubles 49 kopecks is distributed in the following manner (the individual sums are rounded to whole rubles and divided into two components, of which the first represents payment of debts from previous years; in parentheses is indicated the unpaid debt under the same items as of January 1, 1913):

Item	Amount
Physical instruments acquired for	68 + 715 (+15) rubles
Meteorological instruments acquired for	115 + 5 (+10) rubles
Furniture acquired for	58 (+101) rubles
Spent on journals, books, and putting the library in order	159 + 187 (+25) rubles
Delivery of instruments	7 + 157
Lectures, practical classes, and other items	572 + 453 (+202) rubles
Special work by the teaching staff	111 + 107 (+141) rubles
Special work by students	19 + 419 (+106) rubles
Maintenance of the meteorological station	9 + 93
Equipping the premises	48 + 11 (+45) rubles
Total	1108 + 2205 (+644) rubles

The large expenditure on special work by students is explained by the construction of a special basin, which is filled with a mixture of rosin and turpentine, and in which a series of varied investigations can be carried out on the resistance of a very viscous medium to the motion of solid bodies within it.

Among the instruments acquired in 1912, we note 3 sensitive galvanometers with spare tubes (148 rubles) and a movable microscope (57 rubles) from Rüe, an electric furnace (40 rubles) and a quartz mercury lamp (86 rubles) from Heraeus, 13 large discharge tubes (205 rubles) from Müller-Uri, a receiving station for wireless telegraphy (40 rubles) from the “Fiziko-Khimik” Company, and 3 spectral tubes (19 rubles) from Goetze.

The instructional activity of the First and Second physics laboratories may be characterized by the following figures.

	In the spring half-year	In the spring half-year	In the autumn half-year	In the autumn half-year

During 1912 the following investigations were carried out in the physics laboratory:

1) by Prof. B. P. Weinberg—on the increase of force under slow uniform twisting of a copper wire and on the decrease of force after the cessation of twisting;

2) by him—on the density of the ice of the Tom River and its resistance to fracture before the ice drift of 1912;

3) by him—on the sliding of ice with a successive increase of the acting force;

4) by Instructor A. V. Ignat’ev—on photographing the red and infrared parts of the spectrum;

5) by Instructor V. D. Kuznetsov and Lab. Assistant K. P. Grinakovsky—on the torsion of rock salt at high temperatures;

6) by Instructor V. D. Kuznetsov—on the resistance of a viscous medium to motion within it of a plane;

7) by Lab. Assistant V. D. Dudetsky—on a method for determining the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field by compensating it with the field of a current-carrying coil;

8) by him—on the torsion of the internal friction of asphalt by the method of shear of two parallelepipeds;

9) by students Miloradov and Tolmachev—on the internal friction of tar and its mixtures (accepted as a diploma work and printed in the “Journal of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society”);

10) by students Beloglazov and Chernavsky—on the resistance of a viscous medium to the motion within it of cylinders (accepted as a diploma work);

11) by students Blum-Kunitsky and Pevzner—on the same question;

12) by students Klyucherev and Fershter—on the dependence of the attractive force of an electromagnetic armature on distance at large distances of the armature from the poles;

13) by students Burlakov and Myasnikov—on the internal friction of clay at various water contents;

14) by students Pimenov and Rodionov—on the internal friction of mixtures of var with sand.

In addition, students Gurin, Dobrovidov, Moshkovsky, Nechaev, Sotnikov, Suslov, and Ustinov engaged in photographing snowflakes.

Of the diploma works of previous years, this year the work of Gostyunin and Le-Dantyu, “The Resistance of a Viscous Body to Motion within Its Solid Body,” was published (in the Journal of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society).

At the laboratory there continued to function a meteorological station, at which, in addition to regular observations with self-recording instruments, pressure, temperature and humidity of the air, the direction and force of the wind, and sunshine were recorded.

14. Geodetic Cabinet and Mine-Surveying Laboratory.

Director: Prof. P. K. Sobolevsky.

The information for 1912 was not delivered to the editor.

15. Mineralogical Cabinet

Head: Prof. A. V. Lavrsky.

Allocated in 1912:

1) Regular appropriation for 1912 ................................ 748 rub. 64 kop.
2) Balance as of January 1, 1912, of special funds from 1910 .... 578 rub. — kop.

Total ........................................................... 1326 rub. 64 kop.

Expended:

1) Salary of the attendant, uniform allowance and benefits ....... 422 rub. — kop.
2) Advance expenses of the head .................................. 126 rub. 72 kop.
3) Payments on accounts of foreign firms ......................... 667 rub. 56 kop.
4) Payments on accounts of Russian firms ......................... 155 rub. 11 kop.
5) Expense for delivery of freight in 1912 ....................... 12 rub. 13 kop.

Total ........................................................... 1383 rub. 52 kop.

Overspending: 56 rubles 88 kopecks.

In addition, the firm R. Fuess in Steglitz is to be paid 700 rubles (on invoice 2945 marks 50 pf.) for 15 microscopes, payment for which had been proposed in 1911; the non-approval of an appropriation of 1000 rubles from special funds in 1911 led to the payment being deferred: 667 rubles 56 kopecks were paid at the very beginning of 1912, and a petition was submitted to the Ministry of Public Education for the release of the remaining 700 rubles. Thus, in essence, in the reporting year the cabinet had at its disposal the sum of 659 rub. 08 kop. (1326 rub. 64 kop. — 667 rub. 56 kop.), almost two thirds of which (422 rub.) went to pay the attendant’s salary, uniform allowance, and benefits. Owing to this extreme insufficiency of funds in the cabinet, it was not possible to carry out in a timely manner the replenishment and improvement of the necessary aids for the teaching of mineralogy. With regard to the minerals needed as material for practical exercises, a way out of this difficult situation was partly found in borrowings from the main collection for demonstrations and student practice; in view of the damage thereby caused to the material, it proved necessary to write off from the cabinet’s inventory book 81 pieces of material for a total sum of 83 rub. 04 kop.

As of January 1, 1912, according to the inventory, the cabinet contained:

1) Furniture, office supplies and other items — 411 specimens, amounting to 5216 rub. 97 kop.
2) Apparatus, instruments, preparations ............ 1992 specimens, amounting to 6716 rub. 97 kop.
3) Models ......................................... 1995 specimens, amounting to 2389 rub. 85 kop.

4) Tables, geographical maps, and other items ........ 327 copies, in the amount of 298 rubles 86 kopecks.
5) Minerals in specimens ........ 3695 copies, in the amount of 5651 rubles 88 kopecks.
6) Books and brochures ........ 314 copies, in the amount of 1289 rubles 16 kopecks.

Total .... 8734 copies, in the amount of 21563 rubles 69 kopecks.

During 1912 there were received:

1) Furniture, office supplies, and other items ........ 3 copies, in the amount of 15 rubles — kopecks.
2) Apparatus, instruments, preparations ........ 80 copies, in the amount of 850 rubles 78 kopecks.
6) Books and brochures ........ 1 copy, in the amount of — rubles 90 kopecks.

Total .... 84 copies, in the amount of 866 rubles 68 kopecks.

During 1912, the following was transferred from the inventory to the material book, in accordance with the resolution of the Institute’s Economic Committee of October 27, No. 35/15.

5) Minerals in specimens .... 81 copies, in the amount of 83 rubles 04 kopecks.

Thus, as of January 1, 1913, according to the cabinet inventory, there are listed:

1) Furniture, office supplies, and other items ........ 414 copies, in the amount of 5231 rubles 97 kopecks.
2) Apparatus, instruments, preparations ........ 2072 copies, in the amount of 7567 rubles 75 kopecks.
3) Models .................... 1995 copies, in the amount of 2389 rubles 85 kopecks.
4) Tables, geographical maps, and other items ........ 327 copies, in the amount of 298 rubles 86 kopecks.
5) Minerals in specimens .... 3614 copies, in the amount of 5568 rubles 84 kopecks.
6) Books and brochures ........ 315 copies, in the amount of 1290 rubles 06 kopecks.

Total .... 8737 copies, in the amount of 22347 rubles 33 kopecks.

According to the material book, for the past year 1912, the expenses for the maintenance of the cabinet and laboratory amounted to 446 rubles 50 kopecks.

A major acquisition (by the amount of expenditure) in the reporting year was the receipt from the ordered firm R. Fuess in Steglitz of 15 inexpensive microscopes of simple construction, which were urgently needed for practical classes with students. In view of the insufficiency of the cabinet’s funds, only 10 microscopes (Nos. 638—647) have so far been entered in the inventory. Payment for them was made for the most part from the remainder of the special funds of 1910, when an additional appropriation was made for the needs of the cabinet.

During the reporting year the cabinet received as gifts:

For the department of minerals: From N. S. Penna—several minerals from the Blagodatny and Mednorudnyansky mines in the Urals; from T. I. Ioakita—cinnabar from the Transbaikal Region; from I. A. Molchanov—a small collection of minerals from the Transbaikal Region and from Freiberg in Saxony; from M. I. Yakunin—a collection of ores and minerals from the Slyudyanka River and other localities of Transbaikalia; from V. Ya. Astafiev—several minerals from Yenisei Province; from V. N. Trapeznikov—ores and minerals from several mines of the Urals; from N. A. Chistyakov—minerals from the Kyshtym dacha in the Urals; from D. N. Yakorsev—minerals from various places in the Middle Urals; from A. S. Tomashevich—samples of vivianite from the environs of Kerch. In addition, a number of individual donations from students of the Institute and other persons should be noted.

General information on the work of students in 1912 in the mineralogical laboratory and cabinet.

General remarks:

The extreme shortage of funds and the cabinet’s indebtedness in the reporting year led to the fact that the very possibility of all practical classes with students, according to the curriculum, was made dependent on the relatively complete and well-preserved state of the available teaching aids. Partly for this reason it was necessary to delay the opening of practical work in certain departments and to develop the cheaper crystallographic practical work at the expense of others.

1) Work in the mineralogical laboratory.

A. In the spring half-year of the reporting year the laboratory was opened for classes on 16 January and closed on 12 May. 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 department was required to determine, with the assistance and instructions of the supervisors, 24 problems in each of the two above-named groups of minerals; students of the chemical department (metallurgical specialty) worked according to a special shortened program: they made a total of 24 determinations; in conclusion, all were given two control problems each for independent solution.

B. In the autumn half-year of the reporting year, classes in the laboratory took place from 10 September to 21 December. 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 semesters:

Semester	Type of work	Number enrolled for work: Mining Department	Number enrolled for work: Chemical Department	Number who worked in the laboratory: Mining Department	Number who worked in the laboratory: Chemical Department	Number who completed the work and received credits: Mining Department	Number who completed the work and received credits: Chemical Department
Spring	Non-silicates	33	10	33	10	32	10
Spring	Silicates	37	—	36	—	36	—
Spring total	for the semester	70	10	69	10	68	10
Autumn	Non-silicates	10	—	10	—	10	—
Autumn	Silicates	12	—	11	—	10	—
Autumn total	for the semester	22	—	21	—	20	—
Total for the year		92	10	90	10	88	10
Total for the year		102	102	100	100	98	98

There were no refusals owing to insufficient places for those wishing to work in the laboratory.

II. Work in the Cabinet

A. Spring Semester

During this semester the cabinet was open for work in all branches of mineralogy from January 2 until the end of the May examinations, daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; before the examination periods and during them the cabinet was opened for work, at the students’ request, also on holidays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

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

This work took place whenever the cabinet was open, and consisted in the students’ independent analysis of crystalline forms and the drawing of projections. The aids used in the work were chiefly cardboard and glass models.

b) Work on the study by students of the physical and optical properties of minerals

Systematic work was conducted with students of the Mining Department, divided into two groups of 15 persons each, each group being allotted 1½ hours per week under the supervision of the head.

For the students’ use there were provided all the 20 microscopes available in the cabinet, with the necessary accessories and thin sections, and, for the study of physical and morphological properties, specimens—

minerals. In addition, during time free from lecture hours, the students independently studied this division of mineralogy, using the aids available in the laboratory.

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

Classes in descriptive mineralogy (not silicates) proceeded in parallel with the lectures being read to the students of the mining department. One hour per week was devoted to these classes. In addition, the students studying descriptive mineralogy had the opportunity to work also during the hours when the laboratory was open for classes in other divisions of mineralogy.

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

The classes consisted of the analysis of simple crystalline forms using cardboard and glass models, and of the study of the morphological as well as physical properties of minerals; they took place during the hours when the laboratory was generally open for work.

B. Autumn half-year.

In this half-year, independent work by students in the laboratory in all divisions of mineralogy began on 24 August and continued until 31 December, with a break from 23–27 December inclusive, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; before the onset of the December examination period and during it, classes were also held on holidays.

As for the systematic practical classes under the direction of the head of the laboratory, they were conducted in the evenings three times a week and on Sundays for the whole day, namely:

a) Classes with students of the mining department on the study of crystalline forms of minerals.

Six evening hours per week were devoted to these classes; the students were divided into four groups of 12 persons each, and each group had 1½ hours. The classes consisted of the analysis of crystalline forms with the aid of cardboard and glass models and of the drawing of projections.

b) Classes with students of the chemical and civil-engineering departments.

Seventy-two students enrolled in these classes; as a result, they were first divided into five groups, and subsequently, according to the degree of mastery

of the subject by the students, their number was reduced to three and even to two groups; throughout the half-year the time occupied by these classes was on Sundays from 9–11 a.m. and 1–3 p.m. The work consisted of analyzing simple crystalline forms. The aids used for this were chiefly cardboard and glass models.

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

The classes began in the second half of the half-year; they consisted of determining mineral species by external characteristics with the aid of Weisbach’s tables and Lebedev’s descriptive mineralogy; in addition, minerals, chiefly silicates, were determined microscopically. Two hours a week were devoted to these classes, on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In the following table are grouped data on the number of students who worked in the cabinet during 1912 and received credits after passing examinations.

Name of half-year	Examination dates	Geometric crystallography and crystallography (crystallography I)	Phys. and chem. crystallography (crystallography II)	Descriptive mineralogy of silicates (mineralogy I)	Descriptive mineralogy of silicates (mineralogy II)	Mineralogy	Mineralogy	Sum

For the proper development of the cabinet’s educational activity it is necessary to supplement the collections of orientation and other thin sections, to increase the stock of minerals for practical classes in minera-

—logy, to supplement the museum collection and replace with new specimens those polished sections that have suffered from demonstrations at lectures or from being given to students for practical exercises, even if under the supervision of the person in charge; to acquire a new collection of crystallographic cardboard models to replace the one acquired in 1901, repaired many times by local means, and now having become almost completely unusable.

Orestov, on the topic: “A study of barley oil.”

28. Botanical and Zymotechnical Cabinet.

Head: Professor V. V. Sapozhnikov.

As of January 1, 1912, the inventory of the Botanical Cabinet was valued at about 3817 rub.; in the reporting year this amount increased by 289 rub. 17 kop. through the acquisition for the cabinet of a bookcase for 75 rub., a Zeiss binocular microscope for 157 rub., and various teaching aids for 57 rub. 17 kop.

Instructional activity in the reporting year consisted of the reading of lectures prescribed in the programs of the courses in botany and zymotechnology, and of practical classes in these courses.

Practical classes in plant anatomy in the spring semester of 1912 were conducted with two groups, each working two hours per week; 30 persons completed the classes. In the autumn semester a new group of 15 persons began the practical classes.

Practical classes in zymotechnology in the first half of the reporting year were completed by 26 students who had begun the laboratory in the autumn of 1911. In the autumn semester of the reporting year about 30 persons again began practical classes. In view of the significant number of those wishing to take the practical course in zymotechnology, work in this course was conducted throughout the reporting year in three groups, with each group working 2 hours per week; in addition, each participant observed his cultures several times a week under the guidance of the laboratory assistant, on days and at hours when the laboratory was free from lectures and group classes.

During the reporting year the following additional work was carried out in the Botanical Cabinet:

1) Student I. Bik performed a diploma work on the topic: “Yeasts of sauerkraut.”

2) Laboratory assistant V. F. Semenov processed his botanical collections, made during a scientific trip to the Akmolinsk Region in the summer of 1912.

3) Experiments continued on fermenting Siberian honeys and berry juices with pure cultures of yeast.

4) Pure cultures of distillery and brewery yeasts were supplied to various factories in Siberia, which yielded 118 rubles 50 kopecks for the special funds of the Botanical Office during the year.

29. Gas Plant.

Manager: Prof. V. N. Dzhons.

The gas plant operated daily from January 1 to May 1, 1912, for a total of 121 days, during which 387 charges were made, each weighing 14–24 poods.

The results of the plant’s operation were as follows:

Item	Quantity
Coal consumed for distillation	8765 poods
Coal consumed for firing	6015 poods
Coke obtained	4770 poods
Tar obtained	244 poods
Gas obtained	1291098 cubic feet

The average gas yield, \(1291098/8765 = 147.30\) cubic feet per pood of coal, is better compared with the preceding year (138.13 cu. ft.), but worse than in earlier years, owing to a considerable degree to wear of the retorts.

The consumption of coke was as follows:

Item	Quantity
Sold to the trade school	100 poods
Sold to private persons	1379 poods
For firing the gas furnaces and boiler	3441 poods
Total	4920 poods

There is no coke in reserve.

294 poods of tar were sold to various persons. Tar in reserve amounts to 350 poods.

From May 1, 1912, to January 1, 1913, the gas plant operated daily, for a total of 244 days, during which 377 charges were made, each weighing 24 poods.

The results of the plant’s operation were as follows:

Item	Quantity
Coal consumed for distillation	9048 p.
Coal consumed for firing	12194 p.
Coke obtained	4901 p.
Tar obtained	162 p. 20 f.
Gas obtained	1414153 cubic feet

The average yield of gas, \(1414153/9048 = 156.30\) cubic feet from one pood of coal, is better than the preceding figure (147.30 cubic feet), despite the considerable wear of the retorts, which must be replaced with new ones in the coming summer. As a result of this wear, the retorts at present require for their heating a considerable quantity of small coal, the consumption of which in 1912 reached 18,209 poods, as against 10,840 in 1911; in fairness it should be noted that the quantity of coke released to the Institute’s establishments and sold to various persons in the reporting year reached 2,819 poods, as against 937 poods in the preceding year.

The consumption of coke was as follows:

Item	Quantity
Sold to private persons	1365 poods
Released to the Institute Central Station	50 poods
Released to the metallurgical laboratory of copper and noble metals	25 poods
For firing the gas furnaces and the steam boiler	3461 poods
Total	4901 poods

There is no coke in reserve.

Item	Quantity
Tar released for the needs of the Institute	27 poods
Tar sold to various persons	335 poods 20 pounds

There are 150 poods of tar in reserve, of which money has been received from Mr. Lyubinsky for 54 poods, but the tar has not yet been taken by him.

Presenting the report on the gas works for the period from January 1 to May 1, 1912, the superintendent states that during this time 1,291,098 cubic feet of gas were obtained, of which 598,618 cubic feet were released to the University.

For distillation, 8,765 poods of coal were used at a price of about 21 kopecks per pood; 6,015 poods of coal were used for firing the furnaces and boiler, at a price of 12½ kopecks per pood; of the coke, in addition to that used for firing the gas furnaces and boiler, besides the remaining 150 poods, 1,329 poods were sold at a price of 28 kopecks per pood. Gas tar was sold and remained, in addition to the remaining 300 poods, 344 poods at a price of 50 kopecks per pood.

Thus all expenses for the gas works are as follows:

Item	Amount
8765 poods of coal at 21 kopecks	1840 rubles 65 kopecks
6015 poods of coal at 12½ kopecks	751 rubles 88 kopecks
Salaries to employees	908 rubles — kopecks
Current expenses	108 rubles 57 kopecks
Set aside for capital repairs	700 rubles — kopecks
Total	4309 rubles 11 kopecks

Deducting the cost of coke, 0.28 × 1329 — 372 rub. 12 kop.
      ”      ”    tar, 0.50 × 344 — 172 rub. — kop.

          544 rub. — kop.

The total expenditure will be . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3764 rub. 99 kop.

The cost of 1,000 cubic feet of gas is:

3764 rub. 99 kop. : 1291.098 = 2 rub. 92 kop.

Thus the University owes, for the period from January 1 to May 1, 1912, 2 rub. 92 kop. × 598.618 = 1747 rub. 96 kop.

Presenting the report on the gasworks for the period from May 1, 1912, to January 1, 1913, the superintendent reports that during this time 1,414,153 cubic feet of gas were obtained, of which 715,843 cubic feet were supplied to the University.

For distillation there were used 9,048 poods of coal at the price of 21 kop. per pood; for firing—12,194 poods, at the price of 12½ kop. per pood.

Of coke, beyond that used for firing the gas furnaces and boiler, 1,440 poods were sold and issued at the price of 28 kop. per pood. Gas tar was sold and remained, beyond the remaining 350 poods, in the amount of 162 poods 20 pounds, at the price of 50 kop. per pood.

Thus all the expenses for the gasworks are as follows:

9048 poods of coal at 21 kop. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1900 rub. 08 kop.
12194 ” ” at 12½ kop. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1524 ” 25 ”
Salaries to employees . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1604 ” — ”
Current expenses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 111 ” — ”

          Total . . . . . . . . 5140 rub. 12 kop.

Deducting:

Cost of coke, 0.28 × 1440 = 403 rub. 20 kop.
      ”    tar, 0.50 × 162.5 = 81 rub. 25 kop.

          484 rub. 45 kop.

The total expenditure will be . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4655 rub. 67 kop.

The cost of 1,000 cubic feet of gas is 4655 rub. 67 kop. : 1414153 =
= 3 rubles 29 kop.

This price exceeds the ceiling price of 3 rub. for the period from September 1 to January 1 and is below such price (3 rub. 60 kop.) for the period from May 1 to September 1; therefore the settlement with the University must be made according to these ceiling prices:

For 228,138 cubic feet at 3 rub. 60 kop. per 1,000 cubic feet — 821 rub. 30 kop.
” 487,705 ” ” at 3 rub. — kop. per ” ” ” — 1463 rub. 12 kop.

Thus the University owes, for the period from May 1, 1912, to January 1, 1913 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2284 rub. 42 kop.

IV. Publishing Activity.

1. Publication of the Proceedings of the Institute.

Editor: Prof. V. L. Maleev.

1) For the publication of the Proceedings, the following was allocated in 1912:

Item	Amount
a) from regular appropriations	1500 rub. — kop.
b) balance of special funds in 1911	9 rub. 89 kop.
c) additionally allocated from special funds	2028 rub. 92 kop.
d) from special funds for printing the Institute’s report for 1911	222 rub. 19 kop.
e) remuneration to the editor of the Proceedings	300 rub. — kop.
Total	4061 rub. — kop.

2) In 1912 the following was expended (paid):

Item	Amount
a) from regular funds, the overexpenditure for 1911 was covered	1318 rub. 92 kop.
b) from regular funds, bill of the printing house of the House of Industry	54 rub. 75 kop.
c) from regular funds, to the editors as an advance for petty expenses	58 rub. 71 kop.
d) from special funds: bill of the Siberian Society of Printing Affairs for No. 247	604 rub. 96 kop.
e) from special funds: bill of the Siberian Society of Printing Affairs for No. 257	567 rub. 53 kop.
f) from special funds: bill of the Siberian Society of Printing Affairs for No. 267	866 rub. 32 kop.
g) from special funds: bill of the Siberian Society of Printing Affairs for No. 267	222 rub. 19 kop.
h) from special funds: salary to the editors	300 rub. — kop.
	3993 rub. 38 kop.
Balance as of January 1, 1913	67 rub. 62 kop.
Grand total	4061 rub. — kop.

In addition, there remained unpaid the bills of the printing house of the Siberian Society of Printing Affairs: 828 rub. 78 kop. for vol. XXVII and 837 rub. 64 kop. for vol. XXVIII of the Proceedings.

Thus, the overexpenditure which, as of January 1, 1912, had been equal to 1318 rub. 92 kop., less the balance from special funds of 9 rub. 89 kop.—actually 1309 rub. 03 kop.—together with the unpaid bill of 604 rub. 96 kop. = 1913 rub. 99 kop., as of January 1, 1913 consists of unpaid bills amounting to 1666 rub. 42 kop.; and after deducting the balance of 67 rub. 62 kop., the total is 1598 rub. 80 kop., i.e. it decreased by 315 rub. 19 kop., which is explained—

is explained by an additional appropriation from special funds of 251 rubles 11 kopecks, and proves the necessity of an annual credit of 3,800 rubles, the absence of which in 1911 also caused an overexpenditure.

The average cost of 1 volume of the Izvestiya for 1912 equals (counting those paid in 1912 and unpaid) 3,881 rubles 27 kopecks : 4 = 970 rubles 32 kopecks, i.e., lower than the average cost of a volume for 1912, despite the considerably increased size.

3) For publication, as an appendix to the Izvestiya, of the report on the travels of Prof. V. A. Obruchev in Dzungaria:

Item	Amount
a) remaining from the 1912 appropriation	3027 rubles 94 kopecks
b) the same, incidental	— rubles 44 kopecks
c) additionally appropriated by the Council	220 rubles — kopecks
Total	3248 rubles 58 kopecks

Paid:

Item	Amount
a) to the zincography of the Gretsov brothers	68 rubles 91 kopecks
b) to the zincography of Golike and Vilborg	1075 rubles 25 kopecks
c) to the Brockhaus cartographic establishment	838 rubles 32 kopecks
d) to the Siberian Railway for delivery of plates	19 rubles 86 kopecks
e) to the Siberian Association of the Printing Trade	1252 rubles 75 kopecks
f) as an advance to the editor for petty expenses	1 ruble 68 kopecks
Total	3256 rubles 77 kopecks

The overexpenditure of 8 rubles 39 kopecks will be covered from the Council’s appropriations for the publication of issue 2 of volume I.

V. Reception Room.

Attending physician S. A. Adamov.

In the reporting year, special statistical cards were introduced for the registration of all those seeking medical assistance, drawn up according to the following plan:

…… year …………… month ……… number.

1. Surname and given name,
2. Age.
3. Marital status.
4. Religion,
5. Occupation,
6. Place of birth,
7. How long in Tomsk,
8. Address,
9. Occupies a room alone, with another,
10. Where he takes meals,
11. Diagnosis,
12. Repeat visits.

During 1912, 986 such cards were filled out. The patients indicated on the cards sought treatment for various kinds of illnesses and, together with repeat visits, made a total of 2,814 visits. In addition, seriously ill patients—both students, and employees and members of their families—were visited by the physician at their summons in their apartments. There were 381 such calls to apartments (191 to students and their families, and 190 to employees and their families). The seriously ill who required in-patient treatment were referred to the clinics of the IMPERIAL Tomsk University or to other medical institutions in the city of Tomsk.

There were 610 sick students, who made 1,773 visits during the year.

By departments, the patients were distributed as follows:

Department	Number
Mechanical Department	256
Mining Department	140
Civil Engineering Department	131
Chemical Department	83
Total	610 persons

i.e., 50.4% of the total student body present at the Institute.

By religion, the patients were distributed as follows:

Religion	Number
Orthodox	474
Armenian-Gregorian	20
Catholics	16

Lutherans........................ 16
Sectarians and Old Believers........ 5
Muslims............................. 3
Jews................................ 76

Among the sick students, 480 were unmarried and 130 were married persons. The majority of the sick lived in one room—337 persons (more than 55%); 206 persons lived two to a room (more than 33%); 11 persons lived three to a room (about 2%); and some of the students, namely 56 persons (more than 9%), lodged in their own apartments; this last category consists only of married students.

As regards the meals of the sick students, according to the available data they took dinner either at home in the apartment where they lived—40.5%, or in private dining rooms—38%, or in the student dining room—21.4%; and several students had no regular dinners at all.

	Bruises	1	4	5

From this table it is evident that among the sick students who sought help there were many anemic individuals (about 17%) and patients with nervous disorders, chiefly neurasthenics—22%, which is connected with the poor conditions of student life. Patients with disorders of the respiratory organs amounted to about 12%, of whom 13 persons had clearly expressed pulmonary tuberculosis, and 8 persons were highly suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of other organs was noted in 4 persons.

Gastrointestinal diseases, connected with abnormal conditions of students’ nourishment in poorly arranged dining rooms, were observed in 18.5%.

Of the infectious diseases suffered by students, influenza stands first—57 cases. Typhoid fever occurred in 5 cases, measles in 3 cases, dysentery in 2 cases, and smallpox in 1 case. Venereal diseases were present in 63 persons—10.3% (syphilis, 10 cases; chancroid, 2 cases; and gonorrhea, 51 cases).

There is information on 4 cases of death: in 1 case death resulted from pulmonary tuberculosis, in 1 case from burns, in 1 case from purulent inflammation of the vermiform appendix, and in 1 case a student was crushed by a train.

Regarding illnesses among the families of students and among the employees of the Institute and their families, it should be noted that 376 persons of these categories applied during the reporting year, making 1,041 visits.

Among the families of employees living on the Institute grounds, during the reporting year there were many cases of nearly all the contagious diseases prevalent in 1912 among the inhabitants of Tomsk.

The largest number of patients was in the apartments of the mining building—26.9%. Next came the chemical building—16.3%, the main building—13.4%, the first wooden building—12.5%, the physics building—10%, the second wooden building—8.9%, the engineering building—7.7%, and the mechanical building—4.3%. The crowding of the population in apartments located in basement rooms, poorly lit by sunlight and insufficiently dry, contributed to the development of epidemic diseases among the occupants of these apartments.
