'Through the efforts of the directors and presidents and the support of the Government ds, the University has acquired many' improvements of which, the conttrucof an engineering building, different "laboratories and work shops for the practice and training of the students is unique fe The University also maintains gineering laboratory, automobile engineering laboratory, fuel and oil' testing laboratory, sanitary testing laboratory, material testing laboratory, main electrical engineering laboratory, electric testing room and electrical standardization room.
Attached to the rear of the building, which is of reinforced concrete and fitted with huge glass windows all around the two stories, isa boiler house. The equipment in the house consists of, besides a super-{ heater, a "Babcock and Wilcox" 40 horse power cross drum water tube boiler, an "Ames" 70 horse power return tubular boiler and a dismantled "Farnham" locomotive-type boiler. 'There are also a Sin. x Sin, x 8in. "Hill" boiler feed pump, and a 3in, x in. x din. "Smith-Valle" duplex boiler teed' pump. Two Braduated ft. x oft, steel tanks afford means of measuring boiler supply water, and an for serves as a stand by in case of failure of the feed pump.
