Dean Babcock and Dr. Taylor of the physicsdepartment have pursued still further an important investigation into the heatvalues of lignite and other coals, to determine how they may best be utilized forpower. The work in ceramics, organized in 1910, has a similar problem to solvewith reference to the deposits of clay in the state, and much valuable data is beingcollected bearing on the manufacture of clay products ranging from the finestgrades of pottery
