Abstract
THE Governors of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College have appointed Mr. W. H. Watkinson, lecturerer on engineering, Central Higher Grade School, Sheffield, to the Chair of steam, steam engines, and other prime movers, recently instituted in the college. By several important changes, the engineering department has been recently reorganised, Prof. Jamieson devoting his attention entirely to electrical engineering, Prof. Rowden to mechanics (theoretical and applied), Prof. MacSay to machine drawing, and Prof. Watkinson to the subjects stated above. With this addition and rearrangement the college now possesses an engineering staff worthy of one of the greatest engineering centres in the kingdom. Many additions are wanted, however, to bring the laboratories and general equipment to a position of equality with those even in many provincial towns.
