...Cruft High Tension Electrical Laboratory was provided through the generosity of the late Miss Harriet. Otis Cruft of Boston, and is a memorial to her four brothers, who were all graduates of Harvard College in the years between 1831 and 1846. Instruction and research were begun in the laboratory upon its completion in January...
...Fulton Cutting '09, a graduate with the degree of Doctor of Science, has continued his work here as a visitor, and is assisted by Mr. B. Washington, also a resident visitor. Dr. Alexander Forbes '04, Instructor in Physiology in the Harvard Medical School, is engaged in research at the Cruft Laboratory in connection with problems having a common bearing on Physics and Physiology. Several students are engaged on researches for theses for the doctor's degree. The more elementary students are given opportunity for routine laboratory work in connection with electric oscillations and electric waves, and for practice...
Instruction in Physics in the University is carried on in two buildings, the Jefferson Physical Laboratory and the Cruft Laboratory. The older building, which forms the subject of this notice, is devoted to the study of general physics both elementary and advanced, the newer is intended for advanced instruction and research in the special fields of high frequency electric currents...
...buildings in the country designed for such purposes, the Jefferson Laboratory remains today one of the most efficient. At present there are twenty-two different bits of research being done in sound, heat, light, and electricity; and last year extensive apparatus for wireless communication was established in the new Cruft Laboratory. Messages are received there daily. Similarly the installation of Professor Trowbridge's high tension storage battery has made possible very important investigations concerning X-Rays. Knowledge on this subject has proved of inestimable value to modern surgery and hospital work...
...Cruft Laboratory, which was finished over a year ago, filled a great need for a place of physical research and with its new apparatus is especially adapted for electrical experiments. Plans are now under way for the construction of a storage battery of 100,000 volts. The jars have been purchased, and bids have been received for the other materials, but the actual construction has not yet begun...
