Page 563 - And I think that the healthiest notion, even if a student does not wholly get it, is that physics is the science of the ways of taking hold of bodies and pushing them!
Page 390 - Blackwell refers to the grounding of the neutral points of a transmission system, for the purpose of limiting the strain between line wires and ground, and mention is made of the fact that the neutral point is likely to drift out of position and cause unequal voltage strains upon different parts of the circuit. The question of grounding or not grounding the neutral and of the best method of connecting transformers is one of great importance, and it is the object of this paper to point out some of...
Page 611 - Have something to say, and say it, was the Duke of Wellington's theory of style; Huxley's was to say that which has to be said in such language that you can stand cross-examination on each word.
Page 483 - This is a very creditable showing in view of the fact that but 75.3 per cent, of the builders' rating was developed by the boilers.
Page 650 - ... temperatures the curve must be linear, so that the other branch of the curve must be asymptotic to a line which forms an acute angle with the temperature axis. This will not be true to the critical temperature as indicated later. These conditions are fulfilled by the equation. t = Av-?
Page 563 - Energy, on the other hand, we know only as that which in all natural phenomena is continually passing from one portion of matter to another.
Page 614 - ... in the number of students. He had said in his inaugural that "the college is for the minority who plan, who conceive and mediate between social groups and must see the wide stage whole. We must deal with the spirits of men, not with their fortunes. The man who has not some surplus of thought and energy to expend outside the narrow circle of his own task and interest is a dwarfed, uneducated 1 man.
Page 590 - The man whose work is the supervision of manufacturing processes should also have a competent knowledge of works accounting. Works accounting based upon general accounting practice is a closed book to the average student of engineering. I have been unable to find in the curriculum of any technical school that I have examined any course of study which remotely suggests that this would be desirable knowledge for an engineer.
Page 602 - But they commonly are well equipped with physical vigor and latent mental strength. Their preparatory schooling has given them a defective acquaintance with the construction of the English language and the spelling of English words, a still more defective acquaintance with French or German or a fairly good grounding in elementary Latin, a smattering of civics and history, a training in the elementary principles of arithmetic, geometry and algebra, from which the factor of accuracy in application...
Page 561 - I think, be expressed independently of the subjectmatter and which may be helpful to others. Some time ago, in talking with a practical engineer on the teaching of physics, I stated that in my opinion the ultimate object of the teaching of physics to technical students is to lead the young man by a shortened route to that familiarity with physical things which is possessed by such a man as John Fritz.
