story of Architecture,"
(1917), are especially noteworthy, however.
Some of the results of the scientific investigations made by members of
the Faculties are published in the form of reports issued by the
Government or State, or by various scientific bodies. Thus we have
several volumes of reports issued by Professor E.C. Case on the results
of his work in the fossil beds of the Southwest, under the auspices of
the Carnegie Institution; several statistical reports, the work of
Professor James W. Glover, including "Highway Bonds," U.S. Department of
Agriculture, 1915, and "U.S. Life Tables," (1910) (1916), issued by the
Department of Agriculture; a "Biological Survey of the Sand Dune Region
of Saginaw Bay," by Professor Alexander Ruthven, (1910), issued by the
Michigan Geological and Biological Survey, and a number of extended
reports on the valuation of public service corporations, by Dean M.E.
Cooley and Professor H.E. Riggs, in the Transactions of the American
Societies of Civil Engineers, and various other bodies.
As has been suggested a great portion of the scientific investigations
of the members of the Faculty of the University is reported in the form
of monographs and briefer articles in various journals and special
publications, and for this reason the names of many men of national and
even international repute do not appear in the lists of those who have
published books. Many of their publications also have taken the form of
textbooks, some of them exceedingly important, but the list is so long
that it would be impossible to do justice to all in a short survey.
Of the men in the Literary College whose reports and articles are given
in the recent Bibliography a few may properly be mentioned. Thus the
work of Professor Moses Gomberg, whose researches in the chemistry of
triphenylmethyl won for him in 1914 the prize from the New York branch
of the American Chemical Society for the most distinguished work of the
year, has been given to the world since 1909 in the form of relatively
short papers, some eighteen in all. Professor E.D. Campbell, in addition
to the "History of the Chemical Laboratory of the University," has
reported his investigations, largely in the chemical composition of
steels, in eighteen papers. Professor William J. Hussey and Professor
Ralph H. Curtiss have published respectively fourteen and seventeen
papers, though many of them have been included in the 'publications' of
the Observatory. P
