...safe to say that the Harvard Engineering School is better known in Europe than is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology," said H. E. Clifford '89, dean of the Engineering School in an interview yesterday. "The very nature of the two schools accounts for this fact. I can probably best demonstrate their differentiating characteristics by a concrete example. If, upon being graduated, a Tech man and a Harvard man were placed before a machine, the Tech man would probably be the first to start the machine...
...testing laboratory designed to standardize and perfect modern ventilating equipment has been established at the Engineering School, it was announced yesterday by H. E. Clifford '89, Dean of the School. The project was undertaken because of the increasing importance of mechanical air and temperature control in modern building construction, where in many cases the traditional windows and ventilators have been abandoned in favor of mechanical ventilation. In addition to this practical application, it is also believed that the new investigations will lead to improvements in fans or blowers used in power plants and industrial processes, and the perfection of propellers...
Preliminary studies at the new laboratory, Dean Clifford states, have definitely shown that inlet boxes and ducts commonly used with commercial fans may reduce the capacity of the fan by as much as 50 per cent, and that simple adjustments can result in large savings. Further studies are to consider the effect of air pulsations on fan performance, a subject which is now being considered by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers. The performance of axial flow fans is also being studied in detail...
...wine list about this long-the contrast left me speechless!" To the "Early Birds," as the pre-War airmen formally call themselves, Lieut. Settle brought news of one of their own. Just before his steamer reached Manhattan he had seen a radio despatch from Paris relating that Clifford Burke Harmon had offered to renew the Bennett Trophy for international ballooning which the U. S. had just won permanently. The original endowment by the late Publisher fames Gordon Bennett provided only the first cup in 1906. Not for 18 years did any nation score the three consecutive victories necessary for permanent...
...gain in the number of graduate students has been most satisfactory," states Dean Clifford, "the present number being the largest in the history of the school. The falling off in the undergraduate enrollment comes as a result of the transfer of first and second year men from the Engineering School to the College, and the exclusion of undergraduate students in the School from the Houses...
