The osmoscope and its immediate applications to industrial problems are indicative of the highly practical research carried on in the Sanitary Engineering Department of the Graduate School of Engineering.
This department is concerned directly with the problems of State and Municipal sanitation, such as water supply and waste disposal, and in cooperation with the Harvard School of Public Health also considers the problems arising in industrial sanitation, particularly with sanitary air control.
At the present time the Department of Sanitary Engineering has 37 graduate students working for advanced degrees, 35 of whom are specializing in State and Municipal Sanitation, and 3 in Industrial Sanitation.
In the field of water purification, the Department of Sanitary Engineering has intensively studied the hydraulics of sand filteration and means of cleaning such sand filters to maintain their efficiency. The osmoscope has also been used in studying the odors and tastes in drinking water, and further studies have been...
