Abstract :
Although well established in European, schools the importance of vibration in high-speed machinery has been neglected in most American engineering schools. Harvard University is now offering through its School of Engineering a new course on vibration problems, which is intended to acquaint its graduates with the physical and mathematical basis of mechanical vibration and literature available on the subject that they may be equipped to handle problems of increasing speed, size and power now developing in the engineering world. General direction of the course is under Professor Arthur E. Norton, of the School; the instructions will be given by outside lecturers, Messrs. J. Ormondroyd and A. L. Kimball.
