His title wasat this time changed to Assistant Professor of General Physics and AppliedElectricity. He continued his work in the two departments until December,1902, when Applied Electricity was separated from Physics and he was promot-ed to Professor of Applied Electricity and placed in charge of the Department,. THE FACULTY 271 the name of which was changed to the Department of Electrical Engineering in1903. Being relieved of the work of Physics, he devoted himself entirelyto Electrical Engineering and began a systematic revision of the Laboratoryequipment, installing two new slate switchboards, completely rewiring the lab-oratories, and installing a large amount of new apparatus to supplement andpartly take the place of some of the older types. He was greatly assisted in thiswork by the generous donations made to the Department by a number of gradu-ating classes, and also by some of the leading electrical manufacturers. He alsodeveloped a series of lecture and laboratory notes which are used by the Juniorand Senior classes. In addition to his work of instruction and of developing the electricalcourse,
