W.S.C. EXPERIMENTS
AID MODERN INDUSTRY
Many State Engineering Prob
lems Subject of State College
Investigation
By H. J. Dana, W. 8. C, '11
Nearly all great industries at the
present day, spend large sums each
year tor maintaining technical lab
oratories for original research along
their particular line. Although
these laboratories have accomplished
a great deal, the results are often
held in secret for their own benefit.
Also, the lines of research have
necessarily been limited la number
and scope because of the lack of
funds and equipment and of trained
men to carry on the research.
The engineering experiment sta
tion at the State College of Wash
ington was organized for the purpose
of utilizing the technical equipment
of the college laboratories and the
trained personnel of the engineering
faculty to help solve some of the en
gineering problems of the state.
Some of the work of original re
search is being done by members of
the faculty in addition to their regu
lar teaching work. The author has
been employed to devote full time
to this work and is now studying the
loss of heat from bare steam pipes
Ir order to discover the best kinds
and combinations of covering to use.
These tests have resulted in the de
velopment of a new type of pipe in
sulation known as "graded cover
ing,' the use of which will probably
mean a considerable financial saving
to users of steam heat. The report
of the above investigation will soon
be published in bulletin form.
Another bulletin soon to be pub
lished by the engineering experiment
station will deal with the use and
abuse of ropes and tackle. Six oth
er bulletins have been published up
to date, and these are frequently
mailed out in answer to requests not
only from different parts of the state
of Washington but from all over the
United States and even from foreign
countries. This proves the universal
value and interest of the work done
in the engineering experiment sta
tion here.
In addition to the work already
completed there nre a number of
problems under investigation by dif
ferent members of the engineering
experiment station staff. These in
clude a determination of the value
of Northwestern coals for use in pro
ducer engines, design of a universal
laboratory instrument for standard
ization purposes, impregnation of
woods to increase the insulating
qualities, and others.
W. S. C. has been recognized by
the largest technical institution of
the United States as one of the lead
ing engineering schools of the West,
which shows that our college ranks
higher in engineering than is gen
erally conceded.
This is proven by the appearance
of Theta Xi, the largest and oldest
engineering fraternity in the United
States. This fraternity has confined
its chapters exclusively to those col
leges which rank highest in that pro
fession.
Some time ago a committee rep
resenting this fraternity made an of
ficial investigation of the college of
engineering in order to determine
whether or not it was sufficiently
large and important to support a
fraternity which limits its member
ship to students in engineering and
applied science.
The chairman of this committee
is a graduate of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and has of
ficially investigated a great many
of the engineering schools in the
United States.
After investigating the laborato
ries, equipment, and the engineering
experiment station, and conferring
with the instructing personnel, he
stated that he was very agreeably
surprised at what he found. In
many ways our equipment is more
modern and complete than in many
of the old eastern schools which have
a. national reputation.
The importance of an engineering
college may be measured by the ac
complishments of its graduates. The
fact that Washington State College
graduates have been making engin
eering history in the Northwest
proves its claim for leadership in
that field, and the college may well
be pleased at receiving the deserved
recognition from the older technical
institutions.
The budget is a pattern for spend
ing. It bears the same relation to
the income as the paper pattern to
the cloth of which a dress is made.
Now is the time to plan the home
garden.
Hatch early and get eggs next
winter.
FEDERAL BOARD ASSISTS
WORLD WAR VETERAN
i "Pulled out of the mud" by the
federal board and put on his feet
once more Is the story of Ralph .1.
Colter, veteran, who has just signed
up for vocational training at the col
lege.
Conrad Coulter's story reads like
a novel. Discharged from a San
Francisco hospital and loft "on his
own,'' he took up work in the Oil
fields of Wyoming, only to break
down under the strain. A winter
spent In trapping in the mountains,
and a part year of "bumming" brings
the story up to the time he was dis
covered by the federal board and the
opportunity given him to take train
ing. He has Just arrived In Pullman
from Pocatello, Idaho, and will in all
probability enter the agricultural
course.
