It is gratifying to know that so many of the alumni w ho are in practical electrical work appreciate the advantages of such an organization and are ready with suggestions for the society. About thirty students have subscribed for the American Electrician. We also have on file in the library " T he Electrical World and E n g i n e e r ," " T he Electric Club J o u r n a l" of Pittsburg, T he " Street Railway " E l e c t r i c al the Journal," and R e v i e w" is also on the campus. A ny of the alumni having printed matter which would be of interest to the members of the club, if addressed to the department of Physics and Electrical Engineering, it will be gladly used. Drawings, blue prints and bulletins descriptive of electrical practice are all welcome. Good pictures suitable for framing and mounting on the wall, and diagrams of wiring connections, will also be gratefully received. file on A. R.
