The Campanile . 000 more visitors w^io escaped the tally—atotal of 10,000 guests in sixteen hours. The physics building, mechanical laboratory, chemistry annex and powerhouse were used as show buildings. There were over no separate exhibits,requiring the attendance of over 200 guides during the course of the show. Atnight the mechanical laboratory and Cami)anile were brilliantly illuminated,while the billion-candle-power searchlight acted as a majestic advertisement ofthe affair. The list of even the most interesting exhibits is too long for inclusion physics department displayed its equipment, said to be as complete asany in the South, and arranged a series of curious physical experiments. Theradio dog, controlled both by wireless and by light cast on selenium cells,and the million-volt Tesla coil bridging a two-foot gap with sparks also attractedattention.

The civil engineers gave a thorough demonstration of their work—instruments, models,designs and drawings, tests with building materials. An i8-foot by lo-foot landscape modelshowed nearly every type of engineering construction. The wide variety of the chemicalexhibit included countless types of modern instruments and apparatus, imported chemicalprocesses, and freak features which enlivened interest all the way through. The electricalengineers demonstrated their well-equipped laboratory, gave a number of attractive electri-cal experiments, and opened their radio and wireless telephone room for inspection. Themechanical engineering laboratories were whole shows in themselves, containing every vari-ety of shop machines in operation; gasoline, steam, and oil engines: steam, water and airpumps; a 30 H. P. turbo-generator unit, a Hall-Scott airplane motor, and several types ofoil burners. Francis H. Berleth acted as general chairman of this successful show. The Board ofTrustees, w
