An illustrated paper descriptive of "Some Classroom Experiments in Mechanics" was next presented by James E. Boyd, Professor of Mechanics, Ohio State University. It was followed by one by Edward R. Maurer, Professor of Mechanics, University of Wisconsin, on on "Some Questions Relating to the Course in Mechanics." The secretary then read a paper by Walter Rautenstrauch, Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Columbia University, on "The Teaching of Applied Mechanics to Engineering Students." These papers were discussed by Professors W. Kent, C. M. Woodward, and Benjamin.

A paper on "The Engineering Experiment Station at Iowa State College" was read by George W. Bissell, Ex-Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Iowa State College. In the absence of the author, the secretary read a paper by L. P. Breckenridge, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Engineering Experiment Station of the University of Illinois, on "The Engineering Experiment Station of the University of Illinois." These papers were discussed by Professors Wood, Turneaure, Franklin, W. G. Raymond, and Bissell.

On motion of Professor Franklin, the recommendation contained in Professor Breckenridge's paper was referred to the Joint Committee on Engineering Education for recommendation.

EVENING SESSION, 8:00 O'CLOCK.

The first paper of the evening was by Charles H. Benjamin, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Case School of Applied Science, and was entitled "Looseleaf Notes for Laboratory Use." It was discussed by Professors J. D. Hoffman, C. R. Jones, and Brackett.

A course in "The Teaching of Elementary Machine Design" was then described by James D. Hoffman, Associate Professor of Engineering Design, Purdue University, and discussed by Professors Benjamin, Bissell, Wood, and Magruder, with closure by the author.

The next paper presented was entitled "Some Examination Data," by Rosser D. Bohannan, Professor of Mathematics, Ohio State University. In the absence of Professor Bohannan, his paper was read by the Secretary.

The discussion on these two papers was conducted by Professors Jacoby, Benjamin, Brackett, Magruder, C. S. Howe, W. Kent, Higbee and D. C. Jackson.

In the absence of Otis E. Randall, Professor of Mechanics and Mechanical Drawing, Brown University, the Secretary read his paper on "Descriptive Geometry-Its Importance in the Engineering Curriculum, and the Methods of Teaching It." The discussion on this paper was by Professors Fuller, W. Kent, Williston, Benjamin, C. S. Howe, Higbee, J. D. Hoffman, Magruder and Jacoby.

In the absence of William H. Schuerman, Professor of Civil Engineering, and Dean of the Engineering Department, Vanderbilt University, the Secretary read his paper, entitled "The Honor System of Examinations." It was discussed by Professors Benjamin, W. Kent, C. R. Jones, Wood, D. C. Jackson, C. S. Howe, Williston and Magruder.

In the absence of their authors, the following papers were presented and read by title:

(a) "A Calculation Blunder Common to many Trigonometries used in Engineering Colleges."

(b) "A Neglected Opportunity to Teach Consistent Measurement in Trigonometry," by Rosser D. Bohannan, Professor of Mathematics, Ohio State University.
