As usual, the automobile testing plant is receiving its shareof interest, which we hope to heighten soon by the acquisitionof a standard chassis, thus affording facilities for the study ofdesign and performance of these machines. The laboratories are in a very crowded condition now. allof the space being taken up by machines. We hope that theLegislature will come to the rescue soon with an appropriationfor new shops for the Department of Practical Mechanics, sothat the Mechanical Engineering school can use all of the spacein the Engineering Mechanical Engineering Building29
