Abstract
A GOOD estimate of the character of the work of a College or University can be obtained from the investigations carried On by its staff and students. The following statement of research work done in the laboratories of the McGill College, Montreal, last session, published in the Annual Calendar of the College and University for the session 1901–1902, furnishes excellent evidence of sound instruction and scientific activity:—The effect of cold on the physical properties of iron and steel; the influence of bending on the torsional strength of metals; the properties of iron and steel as affected by annealing at moderate temperatures; experiments on frictional losses in 11/2-inch pipes and bends under varying velocities of flow; experiments on the determination of the “Miner's Inch”; the separation and concentration of chromite, blende, nickeliferous pyrrhotite and certain other minerals by combined gravimetric and magnetic methods; the crushing and sizing of rocks by means of different types of apparatus; the treatment of Nova Scotia mispickel concentrates by cyanide, bromocyanide and chlorination methods; conditions affecting the wave form of alternators; and the effect of change iof wave form in alternators on induction and synchronous motors: induction motors used as frequency changers.
