BENJAMIN School of Engineering, Purdue Uni* iity, Lafayette, Ind. RAILWAY problems are peculiarly attractive to the scien-tific investigator because they are so definite and so welldeveloped. The railroad man usually knows just whathe wants and why he wants it. Furthermore, the investigator knows that immediate practicaluse will be made of the datawhich he accumulates or theprinciples which he proves. Purdue University was oneof the first technical schools totake up railway work, and ithas consistently carried out thepolicies thus inaugurated. Theprincipal credit for the devel-opment of railway testing andinvestigation may safely begiven to W. F. M. Goss, andit was through his efforts thatPurdue University came to berecognized as the leadingauthority on railroad mechan-ical problems. Beginning with the
