8) The same from Professor E. L. Zubashev, 289 vols., for 242 rubles 90 kopecks.

In noting these publications, the library administration considers it its duty to express its deep gratitude to the donors.

Activities of the Library

The library was open for use by professors and instructors from 9 to 3 and from 6 to 8 in the evening, and for students from 10 to 2 for borrowing books for home use, and from 6 to 8 in the evening, when they used in the reading room those publications which are not permitted to be borrowed for home use.

During the vacation period, loans to the teaching personnel of the Institute were made from 10 to 2 o’clock daily, except Saturdays; to students, from 11 to 1 o’clock twice a week.

During the year, various publications were lent for home use to professors and instructors: 2,640 titles; to students: 8,003 titles. In addition, in response to students’ requests, 5,672 titles were supplied in the reading room.

Thus, the total number of requests satisfied during the reporting year was registered as 16,315.

The considerable decrease in the library’s book circulation in comparison with the preceding year (22,000) was a consequence of the war, which arose in the second half of the reporting year.

The reduction in book circulation and the cessation, from the second half of the year, of acquisitions of foreign literature would seem to have been bound to leave the library staff with more free time for internal work on putting the library in order; in reality, however, this had no effect on the progress of the work, since the total number of free additions to the library in 1914, in comparison with the previous year, did not decrease, but increased (686 titles as against 507).

As in the previous year, the activity of the staff, as their hands were freed from current work, was directed to internal tasks. The most substantial problem of the library was the absence of a systematic catalogue; in view of this, the activity of the library staff in the reporting year was directed toward this side, and the work was carried on with such intensity that by the end of the year the preparation of copies of cards for the alphabetic catalogue was fully completed. To finish the preparation of the systematic catalogue, it remains to place on each card the numbers of the international decimal classification, which, owing to the painstaking nature of the work, will require a further considerable amount of time.

The summer vacation period was used to put in order the student section of the library. Here the lack of premises for books and the inconvenience of the adopted classification, with their space closed off by cabinets and shelves, created the need for a radical reclassification of the books, as had also been done in the main library with respect to periodical publications. Cabinets and shelves were abolished in the shelf-marking and replaced by a format, beginning with one; thus, for example, 620 signifies that the publication, by its height or size, is assigned to the 6th format and stands 20th in the row of that format, i.e. the first digit in the shelf-mark is an indicator of the format, and all the following digits indicate the place of the publication in the row of that format. Six lists of formats completely eliminate the need to keep a student inventory and numerous shelf catalogues. Taking extremely little time for the shelving and retrieval of books and providing full opportunity for the rapid abbreviation of the library, this method of shelf-marking is the latest word in library technique. It has come into wide use in the library of Kharkov University, at Shanyavsky University, and was persistently recommended by the congress of librarians held in St. Petersburg in 1911.

Instructional Library

As of January 1, 1915, according to the inventories of the student section, the library contains various kinds of manuals, courses, and lectures: 969 titles in 2,911 volumes, to the amount of 6,391 rubles 57 kopecks. In view of the fact that the inventory cata—

Activities of the Library Commission

During the reporting year the commission held 13 meetings—fewer than in the preceding year, owing to difficulties in ordering books in the autumn half-year and to the corresponding decrease in the number of orders. The commission considered 125 orders for books for the student and fundamental libraries, 21 applications concerning exchanges of publications, and 40 various other applications and accounts.

The commission petitioned the Council for an additional appropriation of funds for the compilation and printing of card catalogs and for the improvement of the book-storage premises.

The routine audit of the library for the reporting year was carried out by the commission in January 1915.

The protocol of the inspection of the existing inventory and other books and catalogs, the verification of books on hand by selection, and the inspection of the book-storage premises, together with the commission’s recommendations, are to be reported to the Council.

Botanical and Zymotechnical Cabinet

Head: Professor V. V. Sapozhnikov.

As of January 1, 1914, the inventory of the botanical cabinet was valued at 4,218 rubles 16 kopecks; during the reporting year, books, tables on the composition and processing of food substances, and other teaching aids were acquired for 58 rubles 20 kopecks, boxes for storing the herbarium and other items for 37 rubles 55 kopecks, for a total of 95 rubles 75 kopecks. By January 1, 1915, the value of the inventory amounted to 4,313 rubles 91 kopecks.

The instructional activity during the reporting year consisted of lectures, according to the programs of the courses in botany and zymotechnics, practical exercises in these courses, and the completion by senior students of diploma works.

Botany was taught 2 hours per week. Practical exercises in plant anatomy in the spring semester of 1914 were conducted with one group of 3 persons, which worked 2 hours per week and completed the course at the end of April. In the autumn semester of the current academic year, 10 persons began the practical exercises.

Zymotechnics was taught one hour per week. Practical exercises in this course in the first half of the reporting year were conducted with two groups, each working 2 hours per week and completing the course with a total of 11 persons. In the autumn of 1914 a new group of 10 persons began the exercises. In addition to the general group exercises, the students observe their own cultures under the supervision of the labo-

rants on the days and hours when the laboratory is free from lectures and group sessions.

During the reporting year the following works were also carried out in the botanical room:

1. Students P. Sokolov and V. Shmuilovich completed their diploma works on the microbiology of pickled cucumbers and kefir. (See the report for 1913.)

2. Student E. Sukhankin began diploma work on the topic: “Bacteria of pickled mushrooms.”

3. Engineers N. N. Lavrov and K. N. Voitsekhovsky worked on the microbiology of various local food products.

4. Laboratory assistant V. F. Semenov processed his botanical materials collected during scientific trips to the Akmola Region in 1912, 1913, and 1914.

5. Pure cultures of distillery and brewery yeasts were supplied to various plants in Siberia, which during 1914 yielded 22 rubles for strengthening the funds of the botanical room.

From the sale of articles made by the mechanical workshops in 1914, the income of the Institute’s special funds should have received 782 rubles 32 kopecks.

Unsold articles of the mechanical workshops remained as of January 1, 1915 (according to the statement appended hereto) in the amount of about 1000 rubles.

The value of various materials held as of January 1, 1915 in the warehouse of the Institute’s mechanical workshops (according to the statement appended hereto) was about 3000 rubles.

Included in the sum of 1626 rubles 81 kopecks for “acquisition of materials” were the cost of 1000 poods of cast iron — 1006 rubles 05 kopecks; delivery of a wagon of coke — 292 rubles 19 kopecks; and a cast-iron cupola furnace purchased from Tomsk University — 204 rubles — kopecks.

The acquisition of the large quantities of cast iron and coke indicated above explains the actual overexpenditure under the appropriation for the mechanical workshops in the amount of 844 rubles 50 kopecks; however, the said overexpenditure will be fully covered from the current appropriation (special funds of the Institute in the amount of 1000 rubles) in 1915, since in the coming year no large purchase of materials for the needs of the mechanical workshops is contemplated.

Owing to the insufficiency of the regular funds allotted, the mechanical workshops in 1914 could not operate at full capacity; thus, the foundry of the mechanical workshops operated for about two months, and the forge worked periodically as forgings accumulated.

Student work in 1914 was conducted according to the general program approved by the mechanical division of the Institute, but because of the irregular operation of the foundry, one assignment from this program could not be carried out: “Investigation of the cupola-furnace operation.”

The inventory of the mechanical workshops in 1914 was increased by two lathes (height of centers 165 mm and distance between centers 1120 mm), assembled from regular student work.

In 1914, under the program “Mechanical Workshops I,” 55 students completed the work, and under the program “Mechanical Workshops II,” 30 students completed the work.

The following diploma works were completed:

1. “Determination of the changes in torque and feed force when working in cast iron with twist drills, with changes in drill diameter and feed.” Students B. Zhukovsky and V. Likin.

2. “Investigation of the application of the axial force of a drill and of its torque as dependent on changes in diameter, depth of penetration, and number of revolutions of the drill when working with it in cast iron and iron.” Students B. Poluzadov and V. Elovskikh.

General information on the students’ work in 1914 in the mineralogical laboratory and cabinet.

General remarks.

The conduct of practical classes with students in the reporting year was made dependent on the relative completeness and preservation of the teaching aids available. The cheaper practice—

crystallographic, as before, predominated over the others, which require considerably greater funds and the availability of more expensive aids.

I. Work in the Mineralogical Laboratory

In the reporting year the laboratory room was divided by a solid partition along an arch into two rooms, and at present, thanks to this, the number of places for students’ work has decreased from 41 to 23.

A) In the spring half-year of the reporting year the laboratory was open for work from January 15 and closed on May 2.

B) In the autumn half-year work in the laboratory was carried out from September 15 to December 16.

The work in the laboratory was conducted by laboratory assistant N. N. Pavlov according to the programs of previous years. There were no refusals, for lack of places, to those wishing to work in the laboratory.

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

II. Work in the Cabinet

A. Spring half-year

In this half-year the students’ independent work in the various branches of mineralogy took place at the hours and on the days indicated in the reports of previous years, up to the end of the May examinations.

Systematic practical classes, under the direction of the head, were held at fixed hours, not excluding Sundays and holidays, namely:

1) Classes for students of the mining department on the study of the physical and optical properties of minerals.

For these classes the students were divided into 5 groups, each group being allotted 1 hour per week. For use by the students during the classes, all the aids available in the cabinet and the necessary specimens of minerals were provided.

2) Classes of students of the mining department in descriptive mineralogy.

Two groups of students took part in the classes, 1 hour per week each. The character of the classes was the same as in previous years. In addition, in parallel with the students’ reading of the course in descriptive mineralogy, exhibition specimens of minerals were demonstrated, 1 hour per week for each of the two groups.

3) Classes in descriptive mineralogy with students of the chemical department and

4) The same with students of the civil-engineering department.

The classes were held for 1 hour per week for each department according to the programs of the previous academic year.

B. Autumn half-year.

In this half-year the cabinet was opened for students’ independent work from August 23 at the same hours as in the autumn half-year of 1913.

Systematic classes with students took place under the direction of the head of the cabinet.

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

The classes consisted in the analysis of the crystalline forms of minerals with the aid of cardboard and glass models and in the drawing of projections.

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

Classes in general mineralogy proceeded in parallel with the reading of the courses and consisted in the analysis of simple crystalline forms by means of

cardboard and glass models and in the study of the morphological and physical properties of minerals from specimens.

3) Work with students of the mining division in descriptive mineralogy and in the determination of minerals.

These classes likewise proceeded in parallel with the reading of the course in descriptive mineralogy and consisted chiefly in the determination of minerals by means of microscopic observations. As in the spring half-year, there was also a demonstration of exhibition specimens of the minerals of the courses being read in mineralogy—non-silicates and silicates.

In the following table are grouped the data on the number of students who worked in the cabinet during 1914 and received credits after passing examinations.

Half-year	Examination dates	Mining division: Geometrical crystallography (Crystallography I)	Mining division: Geometrical crystallography (Crystallography I), total	Mining division: Physical and physico-chemical crystallography (Crystallography II)	Mining division: Physical and physico-chemical crystallography (Crystallography II), total	Mining division: Descriptive mineralogy of non-silicates (Mineralogy I)	Mining division: Descriptive mineralogy of non-silicates (Mineralogy I), total	Mining division: Descriptive mineralogy of silicates (Mineralogy II)	Mining division: Descriptive mineralogy of silicates (Mineralogy II), total	Chemical division: Mineralogy	Chemical division: Mineralogy, total	Civil-engineering division: Mineralogy	Civil-engineering division: Mineralogy, total	Sum	Sum, total

In conclusion, it is necessary to note that all the shortcomings and needs of the cabinet and laboratory, indicated in a number of reports for previous years, remained unremedied in the reporting year as well. Because of this, the proper organization and development of the cabinet’s instructional activity is greatly hampered.

Physical Laboratory.

Head: Professor B. P. Weinberg.

Since, as before, more than one third (namely 1737 rub. 82 kop.) of the regular sum of 5000 rubles went to the remuneration of the mechanic and two attendants, one can only repeat what was said in the three preceding reports: “the lag of the laboratory’s inventory behind the advancing development of experimental technique in the manufacture of instruments and the development of physics itself, and the insufficient equipment of the laboratory for scientific work, made themselves felt ever more clearly.” This was especially the case in the reporting year, owing to the fact that the war which broke out forced the postponement of the needed construction of an underground room with constant temperature, extremely necessary for many scientific investigations, and caused, in part, delays and, in part, the cessation of the receipt of a number of valuable physical instruments ordered abroad for the laboratory.

Therefore even the entire remaining amount from the regular appropriation, 3262 rubles 18 kopecks, was not spent, and as of January 1, 1915, there was a balance of 1710 rubles 10 kopecks.

The amount actually expended, 1552 rubles 8 kopecks, is distributed as follows (the separate sums are rounded to whole rubles and divided into two components, of which the first represents payment of debts from the preceding year; in parentheses are indicated the sums for which bills were presented after January 1, 1915):

physical instruments acquired for	20 + 295 (+430) rub.

Of the instruments received this year, let us note the heat engine of \(1/2\) horsepower (100 rubles).

The instructional activity of the I and II 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.

Thus, in all, results of 3598 works were submitted (as against 2928 in 1913), and 342 credits were obtained (as against 326 in 1913). The classes in the I physics laboratory were directed by B. P. Weinberg, V. D. Kuznetsov, and G. V. Khonin; in the II—by V. D. Dudetsky.

In addition to the diploma works of students Kazhdan, Alkhasov and Korostelev, Svalov and Sokunov, Gluzman and Eidelman, and Bolotov and Gorokh, which were completed in 1914 and indicated in the preceding report, the following diploma works were begun this year:

1. By students Durovny and Tsykhansky—on the influence of the dimensions of a tube on the fall within it of a heavy sphere in a viscous liquid;

2. By students Sinyakov and Tush—on the study of uniform shear of a liquid;

3. By students Barakhovich and Eremin—on the determination of the coefficient of internal friction of dammar resin by the method of torsion.

Student Bezsonov carried out a study of the density and resistance to fracture of the ice of the Tom River before the ice drift of 1914 (it will be printed in the Proceedings of the Institute, where his analogous study relating to the time before the ice drift of 1913 has already been printed).

Likewise, in 1914 the works mentioned in the previous report were printed: Reznikov, “The coefficient of internal friction of solutions of dammar resin in turpentine as a function of temperature and concentration of the solution,” R. F. O., 46, 75–80, and Matassov (“On the centenary of the beginning of the development of gold-bearing placers in Russia”—Mining and Gold-Industry News, II, 421–424 and 438–442).

In addition, under the direction of Professor B. P. Weinberg, the following diploma works were completed:

1. Students Vasiliev and Kazakov, “Centers of hard-coal production in Russia for 1871–1890.”

2. Student Zezuliesky, “Centers of production in Russia of platinum, silver, lead, zinc, manganese ores, chromite, cobalt glance, tin, mercury, petroleum, asphalt mastic, and ozocerite over 18 years from 1890 to 1907.”

3. Students Getson and Shpilev, “Determination of the centers of pig-iron smelting in Russia over 20 years from 1871 to 1890.”

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

Supervision of the station’s work belonged to laboratory assistant V. D. Dudetsky.

V. Non-academic institutions serving the needs of the Institute.

1. Gas plant.

Managing laboratory assistant A. P. Shakhno.

In 1914 the plant operated continuously around the clock, except for several days in the summer, when gas consumption was insignificant. The shutdown time was used for cleaning the apparatus.

The results of the work were as follows:

gas coal subjected to distillation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15509 poods
various coal expended for the furnace and boiler for heating the plant and gas-holder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15649 poods

Obtained:

illuminating gas, 72515 cubic meters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2560990 cu. ft.
coke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8585 poods
gas tar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 585 poods 32 lb.

The average yield of gas from 1 pood of coal is 165.1 cubic feet. Such a yield may be considered good, and is explained by the change of retorts at the end of 1913. The fluctuations in yield for winter and summer were 157.7–169.9 cubic feet.

Of all the gas produced, 1,333,911 cubic feet, i.e. 52.08%, was supplied to the University; the remainder was consumed by the Institute itself.

The yield of coke—reckoning the somewhat dried coal with which the retorts are charged—is 55.4%.

Of the total quantity of coke, about 23% was sold and issued, upon request, to various institutions and persons.

In view of the ash content of the coal (10–11% ash), the coke is of low quality.

The remainder was burned under the boiler.

As of January 1, 1915, there was no stock of coke.

Tar was obtained in the amount of 23.8% of the weight of the coal.

As of January 1, 1914, its stock amounted to . . . . . 153 poods.

As of January 1, 1915, its stock amounted to . . . . . 308 poods.

About 70% of the tar obtained was sold.

From 1 pood of coal there was obtained, in percentages, 165.1 cubic feet of illuminating gas, 55.4% coke, and 3.8% tar.

The remainder is accounted for by ammonia water, which is not utilized.

The consumption of gas coal by month was as follows:

Month	Amount	Month	Amount
January	1470	July	540
February	1856	August	684
March	2007	September	1116
April	1281	October	1851
May	918	November	2004
June	126	December	1656

Consumption of Sudzhenka coal and coal from the Kuznetsk mines:

Month	Amount	Month	Amount
January	1776	July	1236
February	1196	August	1195
March	1506	September	1420
April	1458	October	1500
May	1226	November	1490
June	363	December	1283

When gas consumption is low, instead of 4 charges per day it is necessary to make two, or even 1/2; meanwhile the consumption of coal for the furnace remains the usual amount.

It would be necessary to have a small single-retort furnace, which would provide enormous savings in fuel during the summer.

In the summer the University extended its pipe to the gas-holder (previously there had been a branch from our pipeline). Thanks to this, normal pressure was established in the University network, and the complaints that had occurred for a whole series of winters ceased.

The expenses for maintaining the gas plant were:

Item	Amount
cost of gas coal, 9998 poods at 21 kopecks	2099 rub. 58 kop.
cost of gas coal, 4981 poods at 21.73 kopecks	1082 rub. 37 kop.
cost of furnace coal, 11376 poods at 12.5 kopecks	1422 rub. — kop.
cost of furnace coal, 2335 poods at 13.5 kopecks	315 rub. 23 kop.
cost of furnace coal, 1938 poods at 14.5 kopecks	357 rub. 86 kop.
Total	5277 rub. 4 kop.

Item	Amount
for remuneration of employees and workers	2390 rub. 52 kop.
expenses for inventory	596 rub. 78 kop.
for materials	244 rub. 94 kop.
other expenses (transport of retorts, repair of the furnace, etc.)	786 rub. 16 kop.
Total	4018 rub. 40 kop.
Grand total	9295 rub. 44 kop.

Item	Amount
value of coke and tar sold is deducted	840 rub. 58 kop.
received from the University for lighting its own station	50 rub. — kop.
cost of 2,560,990 cubic feet obtained	8404 rub. 86 kop.
cost price of 1000 cubic feet	3 rub. 28 kop.
gas supplied to the University for	4335 rub. 47 kop.
consequently, the net expense for the gas plant	4069 rub. 39 kop.
in 1913 it amounted to	4211 rub. 97 kop.

Reception Room

Managing physician S. A. Adamov.

In 1914, among the students there were 537 patients; among the Institute staff and among members of the families of staff and students there were 335 patients; during the reporting year the patients made 2578 visits.

The seriously ill, both students and staff, summoned to their apartments a physician (in 317 cases) or a feldsher (in 294
